The day after the election, with the presidential race not yet called, Rabbi Miriam Terlinchamp decided to ease tensions. She asked her husband to pull their Biden-Harris sign from their Montgomery yard before his mother, a Republican, stopped by. “I said, ‘Let’s not rub it in her face that we’re about to win,’ ” Terlinchamp said. Every quadrennial, the race for the White House tests not just the nation’s political endurance but its psychological state. The 2020 drive closed a year of unprecedented sickness and distress in the United States with a raging viral pandemic and protests for racial justice in dozens of cities and towns including Cincinnati. Layer on a presidential contest that turned into a squeaker that took days to count ballots from record turnout. Tensions rose Nov. 5 when President Trump made multiple claims that people were attempting to “steal” the election from him but oﬀ ered no proof. Awaiting results, many Americans looked around them and spent a tense

week wondering: How could half the country vote … that way? The election result “leaves me more concerned about how we move there together. … The result doesn’t speak to me of a country where we are seen as created equal,” said Renee Mahaff ey Harris, president and chief executive offi cer of the nonprofi t Center for Closing the Health Gap, which focuses on the substantial health care divide for Black people in Cincinnati. But Dr. Kate Chard, head of the UC Health Stress Center, found a countering narrative from Nov. 3, that the election “actually an indication of how similar we are.” “We all want for the most part the same things. We just believe diff erent paths will get us there,” she said. Political extremes are noisy on social media, “but the fringe tends to help create more of a sense of, you’ve got to go with our guy in order to get your needs met. But when you ask each side what their needs are, they’re the same.” Chard said today’s speed-of-light information delivery only stresses people. “The things I’ve seen on social media, fi rst it was COVID all the time, now it’s the election all the time, and you’ve got

to ﬁ nd the chonky-cat website to get relief.” She has been urging friends and relatives to put down their phones. “There is no way Facebook or the Washington Post or CNN is going to let news go by without a massive red bulletin. Do you really need to be on it right now?” Americans acknowledged worrying about the election. A whopping 68% of U.S. adults called the election a signiﬁ cant source of stress in a Harris Poll unveiled by the American Psychological Association in early October. The poll found that in 2012, 52% of Americans went into election day with stress. Four years later, 76% of Democrats, 67% of Republicans and 64% of independents said the election had them stressed. Richard Simon, a sociologist at Mount St. Joseph University, pins much of the cause for the divide on social media. The sheer numbers of people using Twitter, Facebook or Reddit means that thousands of people can share an idea, which by itself reinforces the idea’s veracity, no matter the

Teresa Tanner left a lasting mark in the heart of Cincinnati during her fi nal year at Fifth Third. As the former chief administrative offi cer for the regional bank, Tanner was a force behind the decision to give the city a permanent stage at Fountain Square as part of the bank’s overhaul of its headquarters. She also played a key role as the city sought to heal following the 2018 mass shooting in the Fifth Third Center lobby. Besides coordinating fi nancial help for the victims and their families, she oversaw the bank’s reopening of its main lobby that showTanner cased the hand prints of hundreds of employees in a visual display representing workers reclaiming the space following the gunman’s rampage. Tanner left Fifth Third in 2019 on a quest for new challenges. “I was looking at what I wanted to accomplish in my life – I didn’t want to settle into being a banker for another 20 years,” Tanner said. “I wanted to move from success to signifi cance.” And she had had her share of success. In her 15 years with the bank, Tanner moved up through a series of management roles before heading human resources, then administration for the company. Through the years, her responsibilities increased but she was adamant about looking out for the next generation of female talent. “The path wasn’t always easy,” Tanner said, recalling her father commenting on her husband, Tim, handling more family duties. She said it was an eye-opener for her father, when she pointed out she was vying for jobs against male executives that could focus entirely on their work. “I told him, ‘Dad, everybody I’m competing with has a full-time (stayat-home) spouse,’ “ she said. At Fifth Third, she created a Women in Leadership class at the bank to boost emerging female managers’ skills. She oversaw intentional job rotation assignments aimed at grooming female leaders. She created internal business resource groups to further aid women at the bank. She even created the bank’s maternity concierge program to help expectant mothers through the fi rst-year of motherhood with minor tasks that could interfere with their career at the bank.

Cincinnati Public to end in-person instruction on Nov. 23 due to COVID cases From staff reports Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

On Nov. 10, The Cincinnati Public Schools board voted to return the region’s largest school district to remote learning starting Nov. 23. Oﬃ cials cited staﬀ shortages and the continuing sharp rise in novel coronavirus cases in the region as the reasons. In a statement posted on the CPS website, Superintendent Laura Mitchell said:

“The Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) Board of Education determined this evening at a special public meeting to return to a fi ve-day per week distancelearning model, districtwide, eff ective Monday, Nov. 23. Students will remain in distance-learning through winter break, returning to a blended model Monday, Jan. 4, pending an improvement in community health data that has resulted in staffi ng challenges across CPS. “It is important to note that, as a result of our schools’ rigorous adherence

to CDC guidelines and strong partnerships with organizations such as the Cincinnati Health Department and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, school is among the safest places for our students to be from a health standpoint. “Like other essential organizations, including hospitals, the higher level of community spread has a direct impact on staﬀ absenteeism. Teachers and staﬀ must stay home when sick, when in quarantine as a result of a close contact, or as needed to take care of family

members. “Our hope is that our Cincinnati and Hamilton County community once again pulls together to lower the community spread. We know that this can be accomplished by wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and through social distancing, even when in small group settings of extended family and friends.” Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – Nov. 10.

Hairstylist accused of stealing from client at salon, faces multiple charges Jessica Schmidt Fox19

A hairstylist accused of stealing and scamming people out of money is now sitting in jail as he faces charges in multiple counties. Christopher Harker is currently in the Hamilton County Justice Center where faces ﬁ ve counts of passing bad checks in an investigation that dates back to 2013. Records show the 39year-old has been in trouble since then. Harker, according to police records, is wanted on warrants out of Montgomery County, is facing theft charges in Mason and is under investigation for identity fraud in Hamilton County. Lisa Pickett says she is one of Harker’s victims and believes the hairstylist is a scam artist. “I feel like he’s taken money from other people how many times and just skated through it,” Pickett said. Pickett said she saw a Groupon for Harker’s hair services and booked an appointment with him at a salon in Norwood.

According to Pickett, she later noticed that Harker had overcharged her credit card, and when she asked him about it, he claimed it was a mistake. “I was actually pretty happy with the cut and color,” Pickett said. “I left and just went about my day, and it was Tuesday, and I didn’t realize anything was wrong until that Friday when I was doing my bills, and I realized he had charged another $120 the very next day.” Harker has a criminal history. Court records show that he was convicted of theft charges in Hamilton County in 2008 and convicted of grand theft and identity fraud in Montgomery County in 2017. “If he gets out, he may just jump to another salon and repeat this whole pattern if it’s not stopped,” Pickett said. A handful of reviewers on what is labeled as Harker’s Groupon page accuse him of pocketing money. Pickett says she actually got her money back but still took her concerns to the Hamilton County Sheriﬀ ’s Oﬃ ce because she does not want to see this happen to anyone else.

“Be wary of what’s going on, and watch your money, and if something does happen, don’t feel bad. Don’t feel afraid to report it,” Pickett said. Police arrested Harker at a salon in Fairfax last week. The owner of the salon that Pickett went to for her appointment with Harker released a statement regarding his arrest: “Chris [Harker] was taking advantage of women looking to save a little money during a diffi cult time, and his actions not only hurt them, but also refl ected poorly on stylists struggling to recover from an eight-week shutdown.” In Mason, where Harker is facing a theft charge, a police report shows a woman told offi cers that Harker ordered hair products from her but never paid for them. Pickett’s identity fraud case is still being investigated in Hamilton County. Pickett said she has notifi ed Groupon about Harker’s identity fraud case. Groupon reps were not available for comment.

Helen Faye Mann, mom of David and Trish Mann, dies at 103 Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Helen Faye Bale Mann celebrated her 103rd birthday on Oct. 19 with her family gathered outside her Hyde Park home in order to socially distance due to the coronavirus. It wasn’t the birthday celebrations of years past, but they made the best of it. They brought an Opera Creme cake from the BonBonerie – Mrs. Mann loved all things chocolate. They all waved and smiled. The Mann family didn’t dwell on the diffi culties of the visit, just that to them Mrs. Mann was “forever young.” On Oct. 31, as Mrs. Mann was in the care of hospice, each said a fi nal goodbye with the hugs and love they longed to share during the birthday visit. Mrs. Mann died at home, at Deupree Cottages, Nov. 5. “We were blessed to have her all these years,” David Mann said. “I think about all the things she saw in her life – the fi rst pandemic, the Great Depression, World War II.” Mrs. Mann was born in Green

Helen Faye Bale Mann PROVIDED

County, Kentucky, to Lester and Bertha Bale. Mrs. Mann met her husband Henry Mann at Western Kentucky University, then known as Western Kentucky State

Teachers College, where both were studying to be teachers. Henry Mann had no intention of getting married and told Mrs. Mann that. But Mrs. Mann proved irresistible and Henry Mann, a junior in college, proposed three months later. It was the middle of the Great Depression. They eloped, driving to Indiana to get married. Henry Mann always said one of the most diffi cult things he ever did was tell Mrs. Mann’s father they were married. Mrs. Mann dropped out of school to work at a fi ve and dime store in Bowling Green, Kentucky, to put Mr. Mann through school. After Henry Mann graduated he and Mrs. Mann moved to the Cincinnati area, where they stayed and raised their family. During World War II Henry Mann was commissioned as an offi cer in the United States Navy and saw combat in Europe. Mrs. Mann and her young son, David Mann, followed Henry Mann via long Pullman car rides when he was in the states and lived with him for a time in Charleston, South Carolina and New York City.

After the war they had daughter, Trish Mann Smitson. Henry Mann was a senior executive of Nutone, a home builder and banker. Mrs. Mann was a homemaker. “She was a classic housewife because that was the expectation,” David Mann said of his mother. “But she was smart as a whip.” Mrs. Mann devoted herself to raising her children, who grew up to be attorneys. David Mann is a former Cincinnati mayor and is currently a Cincinnati City Councilman, as well as a partner of the Mann and Mann law fi rm. Trish Smitson is the retired Regional CEO of the American Red Cross and former partner in charge of the Thompson Hine law fi rm. Mrs. Mann was an exceptional bridge player and talented seamstress. She and Henry Mann were married for 74 before his death at age 95 in 2010. Mrs. Mann is survived by David Mann and her daughter, Trish (Walter) Smitson; fi ve grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her two brothers, Lyndon and Kenneth Bale.

Steve Sommers ‘dismissed’ as WLW’s trucking show host Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Steve Sommers, the longtime host of 700WLW’s “America’s Truckin’ Network,” recently said he was dismissed from the job he’s held since 2004, a job he took over from his father. “I Have Been DISMISSED From IHeart Radio...I’m Sorry My Friends... 2020 Is A B----!!!,” Sommers wrote on Facebook. “I Will Not Have A Chance To Say GOOD-BYE!! Thanks For 25 Years Of Friendship!!” He went on to say he would land on his feet. “America’s Truckin’ Network” origi-

nates from the Kenwood studios of WLW-AM (700). DJ Hodge, market president of iHeartMedia Cincinnati conﬁ rmed Sommers is no longer with the station. “We periodically review our operations and programming and occasionally this means that we need to make some changes,” Hodge said. “We thank him for his many contributions and wish him the best in the future.“ In July, Sommers told his audience he received a warning from his bosses about political talk during the call-in show. He said his bosses cited unspeciﬁ ed complaints about the show’s content made to radio station owner

iHeartMedia. Sommers said that a decision was reached to stop airing topics including the death of George Floyd – an unarmed Black man whose killing May 25 by Minneapolis police has touched off protests nationwide – and talk about the Confederate fl ag. On the air, Sommers urged his callers to refrain from politics and stick to issues paramount to his show’s target audience, which is truckers. Radioinsider, an industry publication, reported Friday that iHeartMedia performed another round of layoff s across the country this week and documented about 50 departures of execu-

tives and radio personalities. The publication said the layoff s followed “massive cuts” in January and, in September, furloughs and layoff s. The publication did not list Sommers as one of those laid off . Sommers, of Colerain Township, is the son of the late Dale “Truckin’ Bozo” Sommers, who originated the show on WLW in 1984 and hosted it until his retirement in 2004. Steve Sommers has been the primary host since. WLW can be heard at night in parts of 38 states and Canada, and during the daytime in parts of six states. “America’s Truckin’ Network” is also syndicated and heard on Sirius XM Radio.

Tanner’s next chapter is one that continues to perpetuate her passion for gender equity. This fall, she launched a new consulting venture called, Reserve Squad, which is aimed at helping companies hold onto female talent. Tanner’s new business encourages companies to permit female workers that need more ﬂ exibility due to family obligations or other circumstances to become “reservists.” The new class of

workers functions as a plugged-in pool available for projects and other on-demand work. The arrangement is also a way of helping companies retain promising female talent that would otherwise quit, forcing the company to ﬁ nd, hire and train new talent. Tanner noted the COVID-19 pandemic has pressured more women out of the workforce than men. “Companies cannot aﬀ ord to lose talented women and the unprecedented challenges of today’s work environment only exacerbate the issue,” Tanner said.

The nation needs some kind of commission on reconciliation, he said, “to fi nd a way to bring people on both sides into the same room and talk to each other and try to get back on some kind of sense of shared reality.” “We have to fi nd a way to live together with people who are racist. Yes, it’s a shocking thing to say, but what’s the alternative?” Cincinnati historian Dan Hurley turned to his current reading of presidential biographies, with a recent focus on chief executives before, during and after the Civil War. He hears an echo. “This does feel like the division in the country is so deep and so fundamental, and I think this election confi rmed that.” “2016 was one thing, with an outsider running against an establishment candidate, and one that wasn’t particularly well-liked,” he said. In his reading, he fi nds that the weight of the Oval Offi ce changes its occupant, but after four years of Trump’s record, “the vote and that division remains so clear, I fi nd that really discouraging.” Trump’s attitude toward the global health emergency of the coronavirus might have destroyed other candidates, Hurley said. His vote totals, the highest ever pulled by a Republican candidate, refl ects America’s isolationism, he said. “People who want to believe the pandemic is all some sort of made-up thing just to get at Trump failed to look and see how other countries are responding.” Ioanna Paraskevoupolos of Clifton is co-founder and executive director of Action Tank, a nonprofi t group that works with artists to build community engagement. “Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, big time,” she said of experiencing electoral anxiety. She got a visual illustration of the divide a day ahead of the election while dropping literature in a “very purple” area of Colerain Township. “A well-known white supremacist fl ag was on people’s houses next door to someone with a Biden sign. I went with a buddy, but my buddy is Jewish, and she was really scared to be there.” When the election passes, “There’s going to be a lot of reconciling to do, harnessing all the momentum and angst, and channel them into local politics,” Paraskevoupolos said. “It is a lot easier for people to bridge the gap when you know them personally, know their family and know them as a neighbor.” With the Biden-Harris sign gone from her yard in the interest of family harmony, Rabbi Terlinchamp of Temple Sholom in Blue Ash said people need to confront the diffi cult emotions

h Uncertainty is frequently stressful, and some people are better at dealing with uncertainty than others. The election, the global pandemic and social unrest are all adding to a sense of uncertainty in our lives. Avoid dwelling on things you can’t control. When uncertainty strikes, many people immediately imagine worst-case scenarios. Break the habit of ruminating on bad outcomes. h Focus on what you can control. If following the news … or scrolling through social media is causing you stress, limit your media consumption. Give yourself permission to take a break from the news. h Engage in meaningful activities. Rather than ﬁ xating on news coverage, ﬁ nd an activity that you really enjoy and spend time doing it. h Stay socially connected. Go for a walk or spend time with friends and family. Research shows that people who have at least one or two friends or family members to turn to for emotional support during stressful times tend to cope better than people who don’t have such support. h Stay active. Moving helps us release the energy we experience when we feel stressed.

of the election. “What we didn’t do last time (in 2016) was grieve. We moved straight into action. We never just named this fact, that this feeling had come for us.” Republican strategist Charles “Chip” Gerhardt has a front seat to the electoral parade as a member of the Hamilton County Board of Elections. From that vantage, he watched Democrats march to wins on the county courts and administration. The political divide is no bigger or diff erent now, he said. There’s just more attention to it. “The combination of instantaneous access to information, with you the media or people’s personal social media, and with Trump himself, has exposed a lot about how people feel and has emboldened them to speak out,” he said. “What you heard from was the silent majority who fi nally felt free to stand up and be heard. Some of it was ugly. Most of it wasn’t.” Once the results are certifi ed and elected public servants get to work, Gerhardt said, the machinery of American democracy and government will roll on. “They will work collaboratively with people from other parties. … You know, we can wring our hands over what’s happening in Pennsylvania and Arizona and Georgia,” he said, “but we really don’t have much control over that.”

BETTER READ THIS IF YOU ARE 62 OR OLDER AND STILL MAKING MORTGAGE PAYMENTS More than 1 million seniors have taken advantage of this “retirement secret.”

It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 45% of their total net worth. And with interest rates near all-time lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most out of your built-up equity. But,manyaren’ttakingadvantageof this unprecedented period. According to new statistics from the mortgage industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.19 trillion dollars* of unused home equity. Not only are people living longer than ever before, but there is also greater uncertainty in the economy. With home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted when looking for the best long-term outcome. All things considered, it’s not

mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a HECM loan, which is not the case. In fact, one key advantage of a HECM is that the proceeds will first be used to pay off any existing liens on the property, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who might be better off with a HECM loan don’t even bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve heard. In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM lender, found that over 98% of their clients are satisfied with their loans. While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners - especially in times like these. The cash from a HECM loan can be used for almost any purpose.

It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required with a government-insured HECM loan; however the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees. Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement. Although today’s HECM loans have been improved to provide even greater financial protection for homeowners, there are still many misconceptions. For example, a lot of people

common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills or helping other family members. Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a safety net for financial emergencies. If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more so that you can make the best decision - for your financial future.

*Source: https://reversemortgagedaily.com/2019/12/17/senior-housing-wealth-reaches-record-high-of-7-19-trillion Reverse mortgage loan terms include occupying the home as your primary residence, maintaining the home, paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. Although these costs may be substantial, AAG does not establish an escrow account for these payments. However, a set-aside account can be set up for taxes and insurance, and in some cases may be required. Not all interest on a reverse mortgage is taxdeductible and to the extent that it is, such deduction is not available until the loan is partially or fully repaid. AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. AAG charges interest on the balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance.

ArtsWave announces $400,000 in relief, grants for local artists Madeline Mitchell and Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Local Cincinnati artists now have access to hundreds of thousands of dollars as part of a city plan for pandemic relief, ArtsWave recently announced . ArtsWave, the non-profi t arts fundraising organization, held a press conference to tout the plan that will off er direct grants to individual artists, with half the funds going to artists of color to create works that help “re-imagine a more just and equitable future.” Councilmember Jan-Michele Lemon Kearney is working to direct $200,000 of federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds to working artists. The city administration is still fi nalizing the plan. It will be called the Cincinnati Arts Access Fund. The city allocated another $75,000 during the budget process for Councilman Greg Landsman’s program supporting artists of color, a program focused on “truth and reconciliation.” ArtsWave is putting another $100,000 toward this program. Duke Energy is donating $25,000 to it to extend the program to the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky areas. “Cincinnati’s Black and brown artists have long been chronicling our uneven progress to overcome racism and division,” Landsman said. “These grants are another way for us to lift up their voices and bring our community together.” The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and other community partners will help execute the grants with ArtsWave. Kelcey Steele is a professional actor and a Miami University graduate with degrees in theater and public administration. He found himself out of work in March due to the pandemic, sent from a tour in which he was the lead dancer. He became frustrated at the lack of action from the government to protect the arts.

“The arts wasn’t even in their game plan. It wasn’t even in their mind,” he said. “I’m watching my industry die and my representatives weren’t even talking about it.” So he started reaching out to Cincinnati City Council members and found a partner with Kearney. He’s been advocating for the grant program for months. “Maybe this will save some people from leaving the industry,” Steele said. “Maybe it will help some people aff ord to keep creating.” He recalled the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression and how that federal program employed artists all over the country. “This city should support the arts in the same way the artists support the city. Frankly, the city hasn’t,” Steele said. “I view this as not the end but the beginning of the city of Cincinnati stepping up and being a standard-bearer for the country.” For 20 years, Cincinnati off ered an individual artists grant program. It was defunded in 2009 as a result of the recession. The Art Academy of Cincinnati had an exhibition that year featuring 20 artists who received the grants. It was half celebration, half funeral. Then Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan revived a version of the program in 2011 through the Cincinnati Recreation Commission, but it was cut after she left offi ce, she said. Kearney and Landsman are both aiming for their programs to continue funding for artist grants beyond 2020. Cincinnati Arts Access Fund grants will be open to city residents who earn 25% or more of their income through their art. Each artist can receive $1,000. Deadlines for applications are Nov. 20 and Dec. 4. ArtsWave said checks will go out before the end of the year. Project applications for the “truth and reconciliation” program are due Dec. 1. Artists looking to apply for either program can do so online at www.artswave.org/apply.

Do-ahead turkey gravy Ingredients Anywhere from 4-6 turkey wings 2 large yellow onions, quartered or chopped coarsely (not sweet onions) 1 cup water 2 quarts chicken broth, divided 1 smallish carrot, unpeeled and chopped ⁄ 2 teaspoon dried thyme or about a tablespoon of fresh leaves, minced

Much to be thankful for and plenty of do-ahead gravy for turkey and potatoes. PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

1 bay leaf

‘You’ll love the results’ of do-ahead turkey gravy

Few sprigs parsley (opt) ⁄ 4 cup flour

Salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons butter Instructions Preheat oven to 375. Arrange wings in a single layer in a large sprayed roasting pan. (You may have to divide them between 2 pans). Scatter onions over top. Roast about 1 hour and 20 minutes or until wings are dark brown. Put wings and onions in large pot.

Rita’s Kitchen

Add water to roasting pan and stir to scrape up any brown bits on bottom. Add brown bits to pot.

Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Add 6 cups broth, carrot, thyme, bay and parsley. If you need to add a little more liquid to cover, add water.

I think you’ll get a kick out of this scenario. Today, I was elbow deep in kraut. Homemade sauerkraut that is. I just ﬁ nished tamping it down into jars when it dawned on me that I need to get to the grocery to buy turkey wings for my do-ahead turkey gravy for Thanksgiving. I’m sharing the recipe here, tweaked a bit. When I mentioned the gravy a couple weeks ago, I thought I’d get requests. And I did. This gravy is yummy on its own, but pour the defatted drippings from your roasted turkey into it, and oh my, you’ll love the results. Plus making the gravy ahead gives you extra for leftovers, and no worries about making it from scratch on Thanksgiving. And I know I tell you this every year, but this year wishing you and yours a holiday ﬁ lled with good food and good people is more important than ever. Most likely your gathering, like mine, will be smaller due to the pandemic. So take a few minutes and pack up some

Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 1 hour or so. Remove wings and save meat for another use. Strain broth into saucepan, pressing vegetables to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard vegetables. Refrigerate overnight if you have time so you can skim fat off top easily. If not, do your best to skim it after straining. Bring broth in pot to a gentle boil. Whisk flour into remaining 2 cups chicken broth. Whisk in broth/flour mixture into broth and boil a few minutes to thicken gravy. Stir butter in. Season to taste.

Turkey wings and onions after roasting.

Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze for 2 months. Tip

to-go dinners. Share them with folks who may not be able to leave their homes, or might be alone. And don’t forget to break the wishbone – whoever gets the biggest half can make a wish.

When you reheat gravy, add turkey drippings to it. If this makes the gravy too thin, whisk a little flour and cool water together – equal parts of each, then add some to the gravy. Do this in increments a little at a time, until you reach thickness desired.

SPORTS Cross country titles come back to Cincinnati Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Running full speed ahead at Fortress Obetz, Cincinnati runners dominated the boys Division I race at the Ohio High School Athletic Association state meet. Five of the top 10 individual placers came from Cincinnati schools. St. Xavier's Nathan Mountain was the state runner-up, fi nishing the race in 15:26.6, over 27 seconds behind winner Nathan Moore from Uniontown Lake. Fellow Bomber Conor Bohrer fi nished in fourth place and Oak Hills' James Schmidt fi nished No. 7 in the state. The most important fi nishers may have been the lowest of those fi ve. Lakota West's Zachary Beneteau fi nished in eighth place and Kaleb Martin fi nished in 10th. Beneteau's fi nish netted the Firebirds fi ve team points and Martin's gave seven. Those points helped Lakota West fi nish with 73 points, winning it the state championship by just two points over St. Xavier. Loveland and Mason also fi nished in the team race in the top 10 with Loveland the No. 7 in the state and Mason in 10th. Mason's girls were solid in the other Division I race, fi nishing in fourth place. Lakota East and Lebanon followed behind in ninth and 11th place respectively. Centerville clinched the team championship with a 10-point cushion. Ella Lambert, a Turpin runner, ran an 18:10.0 to fi nish in fourth place on the individual leaderboard. Lebanon's Faith Duncan fi nished in eighth place with an 18:24.4 and three seconds later Lakota East's Carly Spletzer fi nished in ninth place. In the Division II boys race, Owen Mathews and Sam Beeler had the top local fi nishes. Mathews from Badin just appeared in the top fi ve. Mathews ran a 16:00.2, just beating sixth-place Landen Smith of McDermott Northwest by a tenth of a second. Beeler was the No. 26 fi nisher, but was the top runner for Mariemont who fi nished in 10th for the team title. No local squads qualifi ed for the girls side of Division II, but individual Lily Bauer from Mariemont fi nished the race in 19:31.4 for 29th place. The meet day started with the Division III boys and another team runnerup for a Cincinnati school. Summit Country Day scored 131 points, just a fi ve-point defi cit from state champion East Canton. Matthew Brumfi eld helped push Summit Country Day with his teamleading fi nish in 19th place. Brumfi eld's See CROSS COUNTRY, Page 2B

Deer Park taps Vickers as basketball coach Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

“We’re excited to welcome Wally into the Wildcat family,” Deer Park Athletic Director Greg Huster said in the release. “Coach Vickers boasts a tremendous resume of developing quality basketball players and young men. We’re fortunate to have him aboard.” JAMES WEBER/THE ENQUIRER

Deer Park head basketball coach Steve Gentry has stepped down after four seasons. The school announced the hiring of Wally Vickers as Gentry’s replacement on Nov. 8. Gentry took over at Deer Park after the 2016 season and quickly authored the team’s rise into one of the top programs in Greater Cincinnati. After an 1113 inaugural campaign, Deer Park went 29-0 in 2018 and won a Division III state championship. In 2019, Deer Park made it to the district ﬁ nals. Last spring, the Wildcats ﬁ nished 24-1 and captured a district title. They made the regional championship game, but the season was canceled due to the novel coronavirus before they could take on Dayton Stivers. Overall, Gentry has compiled an 8022 record and went 40-15 against Cincinnati Hills League foes. “We are extremely grateful for Coach

Gentry’s contributions to the Deer Park Athletic Department,” Deer Park Athletic Director Greg Huster said in a press release. “His dedication led us to the ﬁ rst OHSAA State Championship in any sport in more than four decades. His successes will be left eternally in the annals of Deer Park Wildcat history.” Vickers was previously the head coach at Clark Montessori, where he won a Miami Valley Conference Scarlet division championship in 2018 and led his team to the district ﬁ nals. Vickers left Lakota East in 2014 after 12 seasons. With the Thunderhawks he compiled a 151-117 record with two Greater Miami Conference championships and a district crown. Vickers has also run the North-South All-Star Game and had head-coaching stints at Sycamore, Hilliard Darby and Indian Hill. “We’re excited to welcome Wally into the Wildcat family,” Huster said in the release. “Coach Vickers boasts a tremendous resume of developing quality basketball players and young men. We’re fortunate to have him aboard.”

I’m here to coach sports fans, parents Mike Bass Guest columnist

Editor’s note: This is an introductory column from Mike Bass, a former sports reporter and editor turned professional coach. Bass will be contributing to The Enquirer oﬀ ering advice for sports fans, athletes and youth sports parents and coaches through a weekly Q&A. To ask a question of Bass for potential publication, email him at mikebass3838@gmail.com. Sports is your passion. You would sooner forget your Social Security Number than the Big Red Machine’s lineup. March is Madness. Who Dey is in your password. As a sports fan, you don’t just follow a team, you follow your team. It is part of your identity. You are part of a community that supports your team and each other. Your connection is so powerful, you wear your heart on your sleeve of your team jersey and hate changing shirts or positions on the couch during a winning streak. Sports can be your great escape. Fandom can be your joy ride. Until it isn’t. The stress can get to you. Your emotions can overwhelm you. You are not alone. Maybe watching the Bengals lose eats at you, leaves you feeling miserable long after the game, wishing you could let it go instead of obsessing about Mike Brown or some 30 years without a playoﬀ win. Maybe you are having a hard time getting past a Reds season delayed, shortened, fanless and sabotaged by a rough start, when this was supposed to be your year? Maybe you are confused or angry over mixed messages about your kids playing sports, as if the decisions you face as a youth sports parent weren’t hard enough. I am here to help. Starting Nov. 5, I will be writing a weekly column for The Enquirer/Cincinnati.com, answering the types of questions you never get to ask – about you. I will help you deal with what has you stuck or struggling, so you can make decisions that enrich your fandom and

your life. I am a certiﬁ ed professional coach, specializing in helping sports fans, youth sports parents and sports widow (er)s deal with the stress of the game, the pain of defeat and even the loss of sports to COVID-19. And that is just the beginning. Time. Money. Relationships. Balance. Kids. Health. Fantasy teams. Gambling option. Social media. Social issues. All can weigh on you. I know. I am a sports fan, too. And Cincinnati is special to me. I spent the heart of my career with you, living my dream as a sports writer and editor, witnessing so many memorable moments. I was there when the Reds won their last World Series, when the Bengals played in their last Super Bowl and when Pete Rose hit No. 4,192. I sat on the bench with Bob Huggins, went

fi shing with Deion Sanders, followed Boomer Esiason on the picket line, attended a basketball game with the Griff eys and accompanied Chris Sabo to David Letterman’s old talk show. After decades in journalism, in Detroit, Cincinnati, the Twin Cities, Atlanta and Chicago, I left the business and found a new love. Coaching. Even if I am unique. Apparently, nobody had ever gone from longtime sports journalist to certifi ed professional coach. So maybe it’s no surprise I am the only coach specializing in sports fans. Everyone else in sports has coaches. Head coaches. Assistant coaches. Position coaches. Performance coaches. Mental-skills coaches. Why not you? Fans always lament that nobody listens to fans. Nobody helps them. They

were right. You were right. One client wanted to stop unleashing F-bombs on social media after his NFL team would lose. Another wanted to stop feeling so distressed over her daughter’s basketball performance. Another wanted to fi gure out how to enjoy watching college football with her spouse. And so many people now are trying to fi gure out the best way to approach sports in a COVID-19 world. It is a privilege to help. I look forward to helping you.

Ex-Aves RB Bonner says opt-out held against him Dave Clark Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Former Sycamore High School running back standout Ra’Von Bonner is entering the NCAA transfer portal – according to multiple reports Nov. 9 – after opting out of his senior season at Illinois in July because of COVID-19 concerns, and Chicago Tribune’s Shannon Ryan reports that Bonner feels he isn’t “really wanted back” at Illinois because of the decision he made to opt out. Ryan reported via Twitter that Bonner is looking to be a featured back at a new program, believes opting out was held against him and wouldn’t feel welcomed back to the team. Bonner, who has asthma, has rushed for 822 yards and 10 touchdowns in three seasons at Illinois. The Big Ten announced in July that scholarships would be honored for players who opted out of the season.

Kroger again caps toilet paper purchases as COVID-19 cases rise Alexander Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Kroger says it has capped the purchase of some household staples at two per customer for toilet paper and other items as COVID-19 cases and jitters over new potential stay-at-home orders climb. The Cincinnnati-based supermarket operator – the nation’s largest – said it implemented limits early this week to be proactive, adding it hasn’t seen a jump in demand for key staples including paper towels,

disinfecting wipes and hand soap. The company said there hasn’t been any diﬃ culties with supply either. “To ensure all customers have access to what they need, we’ve proactively and temporarily set purchase limits to two per customer on certain products,” Kroger said in a statement. The limits apply in-store as well as to e-commerce orders. Besides Kroger stores, the grocer operates several regional supermarket chains in 35 states, including

Fred Meyer, Harris Teeter, Ralphs, Mariano’s, Fry’s, Smith’s, King Soopers, QFC and others. The company has nearly 2,800 stores and employs more than 500,000 workers. While Kroger sales have jumped during the pandemic as consumers shifted their eating habits away from restaurants, the company struggled to keep some items stocked on shelves as customers hoarded some items like toilet paper during early stay-athome orders in various states, including Ohio and Kentucky.

Treasuring your family is very important. You might not agree with some of the things your family might say or do, but it’s important not to allow that to aﬀ ect your relationship with them. Be unapologetically you. Elsa was never part of the popular club. What makes you diﬀ erent is often the same thing that makes you unstoppably powerful, unique, and amazing. When you realize that you should keep being you, you automatically become a more beautiful person, just as Elsa did. No one is an island. We can’t do everything on our own and sometimes, asking for help doesn’t mean you are weak; it simply means you are not going to let your ego stop you from achieving your goal. Dream big. It might sound crazy, but the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are often the ones who do. Some people are worth melting for. There’s never been a better motto for friendship. Look around

on for the majority of the show. Achterberg’s strong vocals and dancing were a delight as she moved the story along with Kristoﬀ (Cameron Polen), Sven (Reid Blythe), and Olaf (Claire Ballish). Theiss showed ﬁ ne acting and vocals, especially in her solo of “Let it Go.” Also a delight to watch was Kitan Aina as The Duke of Weselton (not Weaseltown!) and Noah Rosenfeldt as Hans. Paxton Bostater did a wonderful job in his roles as King Agnarr and Oaken, leading the joyful “Hygge” with the Oaken family. In addition to the talented cast of actors, the behind the scenes crew was run by CHCA Upper School students. Charleigh Wright served as Assistant Student Director/Choreographer with Jacob Kaesemeyer leading the crew as Stage Manager. In the show’s playbill, Director Mara Wright shared her thoughts of the life lessons that can be taken from the show: “Family is important.

Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy’s Upper School Theatre Department presented “Frozen KIDS” Oct. 23-24 at CHCA’s Lindner Theater. Directed by Mara Wright with Technical Direction by Jim Jung, the talented cast, featuring 43 students ranging from Grades 4-5, took part in this delightful show. This fanciful and heartwarming stage adaptation of the celebrated animated fi lm joined Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Sven, and all of the favorite characters as they embarked on an epic, ice-fi lled journey of self-discovery, camaraderie, and the real meaning of true love. Adapted for young performers, the musical included favorite Frozen songs such as “Love is an Open Door,” “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?”, and “Let it Go,” as well as wonderful new songs from the Broadway production. The musical proved that “some people are worth melting for.” The roles of Anna and Elsa were performed by three actors each, representing the various ages of the sisters. Aubrey Butrum (Young Anna) and Lucy Ashbrook (Young Elsa) were adorable as they portrayed the bond between the young sisters. Abby Snell (Middle Anna) and Aniston Southern (Middle Elsa) continued the story well, showing the girls grow up amid “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” Jenna Achterberg (Anna) and Sofi a Theiss (Elsa) were equally fantastic as they carried the roles

you and choose which people in your life are worth melting for, and then be ready to melt for them. Love can change the world. If everyone would sacriﬁ ce some of their time and exhibit love and kindness to the people

COMMUNITY NEWS Beech Acres celebrates Loveland family for fostering more than 25 children Beech Acres Parenting Center is celebrating the family of Linda and Derrell Dick, from Loveland, who recently completed a journey of more than 21 years of foster care, during which they adopted three girls and provided a loving foster home to more than 25 children. “Linda and Derrell have earned respect and love from all the children and families they helped over the years. They leave a lasting impression on the entire Beech Acres Foster Care Program,” said Jessica Thompson, director of foster care and adoption, Beech Acres Parenting Center. Linda and Derrell began serving as foster parents in 1998 and started out by helping teenage boys, moving on later to provide foster care for infants and sibling groups. “This couple has impacted us all through their amazing drive and determination to help children. They gave nurturing, consistency and life skills to teenagers, and were equally as skilled with infants and siblings, providing security and promoting their development” added Tricia Raby, foster care supervisor at Beech Acres. In addition to the direct support provided to children, the Dicks also served as mentors for other foster parents and families. For more information about how to become foster parents, connect with Beech Acres Parenting Center by visiting beechacres.org or by calling (513) 231-6630. Peter Osborne

Great Oaks launches drone piloting certifi cation for fi rst responders Drones can save lives. First responders can learn how through a new fi rstin-the-world certifi cation program for adults at Great Oaks Career Campuses: Emergency Services Drone Operator. This program teaches the use of drones for fi re fi ghting, law enforcement, and emergency medical rescue. Drone technology can be used during a fi re to keep fi re fi ghters safe while viewing the scene, after a fi re by investigators, as a set of eyes during vehicle or foot chases, as a tool for search-andrescue, or in many other ways by fi rst responders. The fi rst class of students began on October 5, and included eleven fi refi ghters and emergency services professionals from Sharonville, Norwood, the Village of Woodlawn, and the City of Cincinnati. “Great Oaks is pioneering the use of this technology to save lives,” said Great Oaks Fire Academy Commander Johnny Mason. “An emergency services drone operator needs to know not just how to fl y the drone, but how to view and interpret an emergency scene from above.”

The class off ered at Great Oaks is the fi rst course approved by ProBoard to certify students in NFPA 2400, the standard for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS) for Public Safety Operations. Mason said that during the fi ve-day class, students will plan missions, fl y missions, and learn to maintain drones. They will also hold such training exercises as approaching a suspicious vehicle, conducting search-and-rescue activities, and dealing with hazmat situations. Brian Brauer of the ProBoard came from Illinois to observe the fi rst day of class. During a training demonstration for local offi cials, Johnny Mason said the timing of launching this class was fortunate. “Great Oaks is celebrating 50 years this year, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than to introduce training in life-saving technology.” For more information, contact Great Oaks Public Safety Services at 513-7711142.

Cardinal Pacelli students discover animal habitats Cardinal Pacelli second graders are critical thinkers. When they learned that animals have speciﬁ c needs, they could then consider what an animal would need to survive in its environment. This discovery led to a closer look into animal habitats. In this cross curricular

project, each student researched an animal and then created a habitat based on the weather, ge-

ography, diet, adaptations, and predators of the animal. Students then used everyday objects to construct a diorama so they could show what their animal needed to thrive. Project-based learning is a method that Pacelli second-grade teacher Jamie Schwendeman embraces. “The students uncovered some amazing facts while doing their research and are so proud to share that information and their creations with other students in the building. After the COVID shutdown last spring, we are so happy to be back and learning in community.” While most of the work was completed at

Diane Egbers, CEO of Leadership Excelleration, founded Grant Us Hope after her 15-year-old son, Grant, took his own life in 2015. Out of her tragedy, Diane was inspired to create Grant Us Hope in Grant’s memory with a goal of bringing hope to other teens. She is committed to changing the dialogue and stigma around teen mental health and suicide prevention across the country by changing the culture of schools through Grant Us Hope’s programs like Hope Squad. “It is obvious by the success of the Butterfl y Bash that our work is not only having an incredible, positive impact regionally, but that our message of hope and aim to change the stigma around teen mental health and suicide prevention is resonating nationwide,” Diane said. “We are incredibly grateful for the support our programs are receiving through the generosity of our donors and sponsors. It is my hope that Grant’s legacy continues to be one that inspires and gives strength to our movement to transform the culture in our schools.” In the 151 schools with Hope Squads, spanning 6,500 members currently, more than 400,000 TriState students now have access to mental wellness support through Grant Us Hope. The 20 additional schools to receive Hope Squads as a result of the funds raised through the Butterfl y Bash are yet to be determined and will be identifi ed based upon need.

around teen mental wellness and suicide prevention, with a goal of raising $100,000 to cover the cost of adding Hope Squads to 20 more under resourced schools around the Tri-State region. Small, socially distanced Butterfl y Bash parties gathered nationwide in states including Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, California, Texas, Maryland, Michigan, Illinois, North Caroline, New York and Minnesota. Virtual attendees heard inspiring stories from Hope Squad members and from school and local leaders about how their support of Grant Us Hope is saving lives. Prior to the virtual bash, Grant Us Hope also held a Butterfl y Blitz, where all gifts made 48 hours prior to the start of the Butterfl y Bash (Oct. 22-24) were matched, and therefore doubled, up to $50,000. The combined amount raised resulting from the blitz and the bash totaled $122,043.50, far exceeding the event goal. This is a net increase of 80 percent over last year’s Butterfl y Bash results, even in the midst of global pandemic. This tremendous support is unprecedented for Grant Us Hope. More than 100 Butterfl y Bash donors contributed to the grand total. The matching $50,000 Butterfl y Blitz gift was a collective donation from the following donors and corporate sponsors: h The Mangan Family h Tarvin Family Foundation h David & LeAnne Conway Family Charitable Fund h Thrivent

home, students then presented their habitats to their classmates and several lower and upper grades. Each element of the diorama reinforced the idea that all living things are connected. The dynamic and active learning environment at Cardinal Pacelli challenges students to think critically, solve problems and become responsible leaders. Located in the heart of Mt. Lookout, Cardinal Pacelli is a Blue Ribbon School enrolling students from preschool through grade eight. For more information visit www.cardinalpacelli.org. Alisa Fisher, Cardinal Pacelli School
