Factory 52: New name for $100M Norwood project Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A large mixed-use development going up on the former U.S. Playing Card site in Norwood has a new name and logo that pays homage to the site's playing-card making history. The development will be called Factory 52. And the name will underscore the image of a spade – one of the four suits of playing cards in a standard deck – on the new logo. The logo also incorporates a clock face in the center of the spade in recognition of the iconic clock tower that will be restored as part of the new $100 million development on a nearly 21-acre property at 4590 Beech St. Plans call for hundreds of new residential units, restaurants and retail outlets, a new parking garage and a community park on the site of the former playing card company, which moved its operations to Erlanger, Kentucky in 2009. PLK Communities, the Sycamore Township-based developer, plans to redevelop the site in three phases, starting with approximately 220 residential units and up to 20 townhomes for sale. Construction is expected to begin sometime in the ﬁ rst half of next year. The ﬁ rst phase will also include a giant market hall, with stalls selling food and other items, and a farmers' market complex that will anchor the development's central core. PLK is also working to bring a brewery to the site and hopes to attract other niche retailers and restaurants that will promote a walkable entertainment district, Nick Lingenfelter, vice president of development for PLK, told The Enquirer in June.

OTR, Blue Ash restaurant and bar owner closing for months Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer

Coroner rules Michael Currin’s death an accident

USA TODAY NETWORK

The owners of four restaurants and bars in Over-the-Rhine and a restaurant in Blue Ash say they will close until at least February because of people’s refusal to mask up and distance to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Senate owner Daniel Wright said on the Over-the-Rhine’s Facebook and Instagram accounts that hoping for the best was no longer an option and that they would close. Wright’s message was posted on the Facebook pages of OTR bars and restaurants Abigail Street Tapas and Wine Bar, Pontiac and Holiday Spirits. The message was also on the Facebook page for Senate Gastropub in Blue Ash. Saturday, Nov. 28 was the last day the restaurants and bars will be open, according to the post. All gift card and book sales between now and then will go directly to their employees. Wright said when they reopened earlier this year, it was with the hope the worst of coronavirus was over. “We heard all about a future surge but had hoped that our fellow humans had the sense to wear their damn masks, to socially distance and to look out for one another,” Wright said. “I think it’s pretty clear that some did not and still refuse to.”

He lauded his employees for doing an outstanding job in the most stressful year in a lifetime. “With COVID-19 numbers surging out of control and the lack of any leadership from our state and national governments we have decided that we need to take matters in to our own hands and do what is best for our staﬀ and our businesses.” Wright said he made the decision

We want to provide a great work environment, a safe work environment for our people for the next ten years and not just suﬀ er through the next ten weeks.”

The Montgomery County Coroner's Oﬃ ce has ruled the death of a 19-yearold Moeller graduate an accident. Michael Currin, a standout athlete at the Moeller High School, died Sept. 20 in Dayton where he was attending college. Initial reports claimed Currin's death Currin could have been the result of a hit-and-run and rumors swirled that he could have been the victim of an assault. Dayton police later said accepted a ride from a male driver of a pick-up truck but was seated in the bed of the truck, not inside. Investigators said he then fell from the vehicle. On Dec. 2, the coroner's oﬃ ce said Currin died due to a "blunt force injury" to his head. "This death has been ruled an accident," said Kent Harshbarger, the Montgomery County coroner. Harshbarger reported the incident remains under investigation by the Dayton Police Department.

Cincinnati Public Schools extends virtual learning

A new Ohio law extends the deadline to renew driver's licenses, ID cards and vehicle registrations during the coronavirus pandemic.

Ohio driver's license expiring soon? You can wait until July to renew Jackie Borchardt Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS – Ohio has pushed back the deadline to renew driver's licenses, identiﬁ cation cards and vehicle registrations due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. In the spring, lawmakers extended the deadline to renew those items to Dec. 1, regardless of when they expired since March 9.

That was extended to July 1, 2021 for licenses, ID cards and registrations that expire through April 1, 2021 in a bill signed into law Nov. 23 by Gov. Mike DeWine. Many services including buying a temporary car tag or ordering new license places are still available through the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles website OPlates.com. BMV locations are still open. Customers are encouraged to check in online ahead of time at bmv.ohio.gov.

Cincinnati Public Schools has extended its virtual learning plan through January, oﬃ cials announced Dec. 2. The school board announced it will review community and staﬀ health data on Jan. 16 of next year and potentially return to blended learning at the end of January.

Oﬃ cials said the decision was made primarily due to the continued increase in COVID-19 cases throughout the Cincinnati region, which has resulted in staﬃ ng challenges across the school district. “The CPS Administration encourages the community to wear masks and to practice good hand hygiene and social distancing to help lower the spread of COVID-19,” the release states.

A Miami Township woman accused of stealing at least $2.2 million from her former employer was indicted Nov. 20 on charges of theft and tampering with records. Elizabeth Fissel, who was indicted by a Hamilton County grand jury, was among six employees of Hadronics, Inc. who were let go in June when fi nances forced the Oakley company to make staff cuts, Hadronics said in a lawsuit it fi led in July against Fissel. “Within a few days of (Fissel’s) termination, (Hadronics) realized that its accounting records were inaccurate and commenced an investigation which ultimately revealed the theft of (Hadronics’) property by (Fissel),” Hadronics said in the suit. The lawsuit, which is pending in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court, originally said Fissel stole about $1.6 million from Hadronics by stealing cash and writing company checks to herself.But Hadronics said in court pa-

perwork fi led earlier in November that a joint investigation by the company, banks and the Cincinnati police determined that Fissel actually stole at least $2.2 million between April 2015 and June of this year. “Hadronics has reason to believe that (Fissel) stole other funds, but the full extent of her perfi dy may never be known,” Hadronics said in the paperwork. Hadronics, which makes and repairs parts for off set press manufacturers and printers, said Fissel worked for the company nearly six years. Fissel was the company’s controller, overseeing its fi nancial operations, at the time she lost her job. Hadronics said Fissel forged a company offi cer’s signature on company checks made out in her name. She then deposited the funds into her own bank account, Hadronics said. “Using her position as a trusted employee of Hadronics, (Fissel) hid her criminal conduct by altering the company’s books to increase legitimate expense amounts, while deleting the records relating to the checks she wrote to herself,” Hadronics said.

2020 ENQUIRER WOMAN OF THE YEAR

Maternal grandparents showed Stephanie Swain how to give back Randy Tucker

ABOUT STEPHANIE SWAIN

Cincinnati Enquirer

Birthplace: Cincinnati

USA TODAY NETWORK

Doing things for other people comes naturally to Stephanie Swain, founder and president of Swain Consulting LLC and a 2020 Enquirer Woman of the Year. Swain, who prefers to be called by her nickname, Stevie, said her maternal grandparents taught her at an early age to to be kind to other people and “help out” whenever she could. “They didn’t just say it, they led by example,” she said, referring to her grandparents Tom and Emma Burston, whom she lived with while attending Withrow High School, where she graduated from in 1979. “I was with my grandparents every weekend, and we were always doing things for somebody else.” Fast forward to today, and Swain, a ﬁ nancial consultant and licensed insurance agent, continues to honor her grandparents’ legacy by paving the way to employment for hard-to-hire workers. The company she founded in 2016 helps employers secure federal Work Opportunity Tax Credits (WOTC) for hiring individuals from certain groups who have consistently faced signiﬁ cant barriers to employment. Target groups include the long-term unemployed, veterans and ex-felons. Swain said her ultimate goal is for her clients to use the money they save with the WOTC tax credits to promote workplace diversity and facilitate access to good jobs for even more struggling workers. “We help companies that are tired of giving Uncle Sam a whole lot of tax dollars,” she said. “But we also tell them they can take those savings and reinvest in their companies.”

‘I knew my own value’ Swain, 59, who lives with her husband, Tony, in West Chester, also gives

Current residence: West Chester Family: Husband, Tony R. Swain. Blended family includes seven adult children – three sons and four daughters – and 15 grandchildren. Occupation: Founder and president of Swain Consulting LLC. WHAT SHE SAYS: Who or what inspires you to help others? “God. I know when I bless somebody else, I’m going to be blessed in return.”

back to her community in more traditional ways. She’s the founder and president of the Cincinnati Collaborative Women’s Network, which oﬀ ers mentoring and support for aspiring women entrepreneurs. She also sits on the board of the Talbert House treatment center and teaches ﬁ nancial literacy to help community members invest in and improve their futures. “I’m here to serve, and I mean that, sincerely,” she said. “When I say how can I help you, I really want to know what is it that you need?” She said her ability to connect with people on an emotional level has been the key to her success in a variety of occupations. She has worked in sales, operations and management for companies in Californina, Georgia and Ohio, where she joined Cincinnati-based Convergys in 1995 as a sales agent. After just three years of building lucrative relationships with such clients as Procter & Gamble, Ameritech and Lucent Technologies, Swain said, she was promoted to management and eventually supervised a team of 15 to 18 agents. They key to her quick rise? “I knew my own value,” she said. “Be-

fore I was promoted, I wrote a letter to management saying let’s duplicate myself because I was always one of the top producers. I told them to give me a couple of people to work with, and I would train them.” In 2005, Swain took an early buyout and a break from the demands of the corporate world. But her break didn’t last long. “I fi gured I’d take a break because I’d been working since I was a teenager,” she said. “But once summer vacation was over with the kids, I was ready to go back to work.” That’s when Swain met Joyce Linnabary, who was instrumental in helping Swain launch her own business. Linnabary was the founder of Linnabary & Associates, a national WOTC consulting fi rm based in Cincinnati. “I didn’t know anything about Work Opportunity Tax Credits before I went to work for Joyce,” Swain said. “Joyce was defi nitely a phenomenal businesswoman. She was tough, but she taught me a lot.” Swain’s career at Linnabary followed much the same path as her career at Convergys. After a short time on the job, Swain took over as as Linnabary’s operations manager.

What’s are the biggest problems in the community that you would like to see addressed? “Systemic racism, food insecurity and second-chance opportunities for people coming home from prison.” Who influenced or inspired you to care about others? “My grandparents taught me to follow my heart, do the right thing and help out when you can.”

Several years later, Swain said, she was ready for a new challenge. In 2010, she accepted a job as a sales agent for Cincinnati-based Western & Southern. Six years after that, she struck out on her own. “I couldn’t do everything I wanted to do as a captive agent, so I decided to go to work for myself,” she said. Swain’s business and family are ﬁ rmly rooted in the Cincinnati area, but she took a circuitous route to get back to her hometown. She was born in Cincinnati, but moved to California with her mother and stepfather when she was 12, then came back to Cincinnati to attend high school. After high school, she moved back to California. But she came back to Cincinnati almost two decades later and married her high-school sweetheart.

Top 10 comic book stores in Cincinnati Charles Infosino Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

“With great power comes great responsibility.” Those philosophical words originated with French philosopher Voltaire in 1793.

Two CHCA lifelong friends earn perfect score on ACT SYCAMORE TOWNSHIP – Two Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy seniors – Scott Burk of Loveland, son of Andrea Burk and Adam Jutt of Mason, son of Mike and Anne Jutt – recently earned the highest possible ACT composite score of 36. The ACT is a standardized curriculum-based achievement exam used for college admissions that measures what students have learned in school. It covers tests in four academic areas of English, mathematics, reading and science reasoning, each scored on a scale from 1–36. A student’s composite score is the average of the four test scores. Students who earn a 36 composite score have likely mastered all the skills and knowledge they will need to succeed in fi rstyear college courses in the core subject areas. The score for ACT’s optional writing test is reported separately and is not included within the ACT composite score. ACT scores are accepted by all major four-year colleges and universities across the U.S. Not only are Burk and Jutt academic peers together at CHCA, they have also been best friends since they were threeyears old! Over the many years of their friendship they have been through a lot together, including the loss of Burk’s father when he was 10-years old. As Burk’s mother shares, “They have always supported each other in good and hard times and truly enjoy spending time together.” Both boys have gone on to succeed in their years at CHCA, being involved in many activities, including athletics and the fi ne arts. Their senior year is getting off to a fun start together as well, as Jutt and Burk were voted Class President and Vice President, respectively. And in the academic realm, in addition to their perfect ACT scores, both students have also been named National Merit Semifi nalists. “We are so proud of Adam and Scott for this remarkable accomplishment,” shares CHCA Assistant Head of School Dr. Dean Nicholas. “Having known both since they were elementary students, it’s been fun watching them grow into bright, engaging, articulate servant leaders in our Upper School. And as special as this feat may be, it is only a small part of what makes them incredible members of our community!” To learn more about Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy, visit chca-oh.org.

meetings once a week on Friday, inviting a community member in to share about their job with students. There is nothing typical about this school year. Despite that – IHPS fi rst-grade Brave Virtual Academy teachers Tami Miller and Michelle Sweeney, who instruct students virtually, wanted to design a way to bring connection to all students. Friday, Oct. 16, laptops decorated the desks of classrooms, and students joined together to learn in this school year’s fi rst Brave Town Hall. “We hosted this meeting, and will continue to host these meetings, to bridge Brave Virtual Academy and faceto-face students,” explained Sweeney. “We do this to show our students they are all part of a community. It does not matter where you are learning, each student is a valued member of the fi rst grade community, our Indian Hill Primary School community, as well as our entire Brave community.” Approximately 125 fi rst-grade students joined the Brave Town Hall, with the Brave Virtual Academy students logging on through Zoom. All students enjoyed dancing, sharing, and games. Each group was well represented. “We ended our meeting with two students leading the pledge,” said Miller. “They each held up a homemade fl ag into the screen, and we all stood together and recited the pledge.” “My favorite part was at the end, when students began unmuting to say hello to a friend they haven’t seen in a while!” said Sweeney. “These were the connections we were hoping for! It was hard to not unmute and shout out to my colleagues! Being part of a community is important, and our meeting truly showed that.” Heather Higdon, Indian Hill School District

housands are rushing to get a new hair restoration method based on surprising new studies from the University of California. It is the world’s first and only hair loss solution that revives dead hair follicles. And studies confirm it helps men and women regrow a thick, full head of hair, even after years of balding. Now, with news of this breakthrough spreading like wildfire — the manufacturers are struggling to keep up with overwhelming demand. That’s because, unlike other methods, it is prescription-free, drug-free, and has no side effects. And while hair transplants can cost $4,000 or more, this new approach costs pennies on the dollar and doesn’t involve going to the doctor’s office. Instead, it leverages cutting-edge technology to prevent hair loss, fill-in embarrassing bald spots, and renourish thinning hair — with results you can see and feel in 30 days or less. As Jeanne F. from San Diego, CA reports: “When my husband began to use this product, all he had on top of his head was fuzz. His hair began to grow after 30 days and now it is about 2 to 3 inches long!”

Surprising Truth About Hair Loss It is commonly believed that hair loss is hereditary. Unfortunately, most people think there is nothing they can do to stop it. However, while many doctors will tell you that thinning hair, a receding hairline, and bald spots are due to your genetics, this is not the whole story. “While genetics play a role, it’s not the main reason you lose hair,” says Dr. Al Sears, the nation’s top anti-aging doctor. “And surprisingly it’s not just your age, thyroid, hormones, stress, or a vitamin deficiency, either.” The latest scientific research reveals that hair loss is primarily caused by the stem cells in your hair follicles dying.

Around 125 Indian Hill Primary School ﬁ rst-grade students – both face-to-face and virtual – recently joined together for a Brave Town Hall. PROVIDED

Brent Spence Bridge on track to reopen Dec. 23 Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A lot has gone wrong in 2020, but here’s some good news: The Brent Spence Bridge is still on track to reopen before Christmas. Dec. 2 marked 21 days since the crash and ﬁ re that closed the bridge and 21 days from the expected reopening date, Dec. 23. Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Secretary Jim Gray said Dec. 2 that the state is on track to hit that Dec. 23 goal. “We are literally working around the clock,” Gray said.

dling the repairs on the bridge, which include replacing some steel beams as well as a section of concrete on the upper deck. The ﬁ nal repair cost is not known, but the federal government authorized up to $12 million in emergency repair money for the bridge.Kentucky is also pursuing the option of collecting payment from the insurance companies of the trucks involved in the crash. For more information on the repair project, go online to brentspencerepair.com. Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – Dec. 2.

“This discovery is a true breakthrough because by reviving these stem cells on your scalp, you can stop hair loss dead in its tracks and trigger new hair growth, even in areas that have been thinning for years,” explains Dr. Sears. Now, at his world-famous clinic, the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine in Palm Beach, Florida, Dr. Sears and his team have used this game-changing discovery to develop a brand-new hair restoration formula that is taking the country by storm. Sold under the name Re-Nourish, it is flying off the shelves with men and women of all ages raving about the results it delivers. “I have seen a significant improvement in hair growth. Previously, you could see thinning areas at the back of my head and now hair has grown

Breakthrough research proves this discovery helps fill-in bald spots, re-nournishes thinning hair, and leads to noticeable growth in as little as 30 days. over it,” says Peter W. from Ontario, Canada. And Susan D. from Fort Pierce, Florida reports, “My hair was thinning. So, I began to use Re-Nourish every day on the front part of my scalp. Now I have thicker hair.” Dr. Al Sears, M.D., is America’s leading anti-aging expert. He’s authored more than 500 scientific papers, and his discoveries have appeared on more than 50 media outlets including, ABC News, CNN, ESPN, Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Lifetime, and many more.

Regrows Hair In Just 30 Days Scientists now know that stem cells are the lifeblood of your hair follicles. Research from the University of California shows they’re the reason you’re able to grow hair. However, these stem cells aren’t always active. In fact, studies reveal they’re only active during certain phases of the hair growth cycle. “Your hair grows in three phases,” explains Dr. Sears. “First, you have the anagen phase, the hair growing phase. Then the catagen phase, when hair gets ready to shed. And finally, the telogen phase, where your hair is pushed from the follicle and falls out.” As you get older it becomes harder for your hair follicles to complete this three-phase cycle. The results? Your hairs get stuck in the telogen phase. This is when they start falling out and stop regrowing, no matter what you try. This process doesn’t happen overnight, says Dr. Sears. “At first, your hair dries out, becoming brittle, thin, and harder to style. Then, you start finding hairs on your pillow and down the drain. Finally, you’re left with bald spots that age you prematurely.” Fortunately, Re-Nourish puts a stop to this. It revives the dead stem cells in your hair follicles and reactivates your hair’s three-phase cycle, triggering new growth in as little as 30 days — even in areas that’ve been balding for years.

Reawakens Dead Hair Follicles For years, scientists couldn’t figure out why hair follicle stem cells died. However, a study from the University of California finally found the answer., It has to do with T-cells — an important immune cell in your body. The researchers discovered these T-cells are the only way to command hair follicles to grow new hair.

More importantly, they showed that T-cells helped revive the stem cells in your hair follicles — spurring new growth, filling in bald spots and natural hairline. Re-Nourish uses a unique blend of all-natural ingredients. By spraying it on your hair once per day, scientific studies show you can revive dead stem cells and improve the appearance of thicker, fuller hair. For example, the key nutrient of Re-Nourish was tested on a group of severely balding women. After 6 months, nearly 70% of the women saw significant improvement in hair growth. Their hair was noticeably fuller, thicker, and healthier looking. Most exciting of all, they grew new hair on parts of their scalp that had been bald for years. In another study, Italian researchers gathered a group of both men and women with thinning hair and applied the core ingredient of Re-Nourish. After 12 weeks, they reported a staggering 74% increase in hair growth. “It’s really mind-boggling that my hair started growing back,” says Zan R., another Re-Nourish customer. With results like this, it’s no surprise that demand for Re-Nourish is soaring. Thousands of men and women are scrambling to get their hands on the limited-supply available. Re-Nourish is not currently available in any store at any price. But we’ve secured a small batch for our readers.

Try a brunch egg casserole on Christmas morning Baked brunch egg casserole

Rita’s Kitchen

This is one of my students’ favorites. Simple enough for the kids to help.

Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Pat Bruce, a Northern Kentucky reader, and I have known each other for a long time. We met at church when our kids were in grade school. Pat headed up our religious education classes and both she and her sweet Mom helped with our church breakfasts and bazaars. Like many friendships through the years, we lost contact. Until this week when Pat found my site and asked for my egg and sausage casserole. “I want to make it for Christmas morning,” she said. I love that Pat remembered this recipe and wants to make it. So here it is. And if you’re looking for an elegant, trendy and yes, easy, homemade holiday gift, you have to make chipotle raspberry jam. Pack in a basket with a log of goat cheese and gourmet crackers or a baguette, and give it to those folks on your list who like something a bit diﬀ erent.

Ingredients 1 pound roll sausage, your choice 3 cups favorite cheese, shredded, divided into 2 and 1 cup measures 8 large eggs 2 cups milk 1/2 teaspoon seasoned or regular salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper Instructions Fry sausage just until cooked through. As it cooks, smoosh with potato masher to break up. Drain fat, and reserve sausage. Spray 9x13 pan. Sprinkle sausage in bottom. Sprinkle 2 cups cheese on top of sausage.

Baked brunch egg casserole. PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Whisk eggs until fairly fluffy, then whisk in milk and combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Refrigerator raspberry chipotle holiday jam

Pour egg mixture over cheese, being careful to pour evenly.

Go to taste on this not too sweet jam, adding more or less peppers. Jam may be a bit loose at ﬁ rst but sets up nicely.

Sprinkle remaining 1 cup cheese on top.

Make a holiday appetizer with goat cheese spread on toasted baguette or cracker topped with a bit of jam. Or dollop on a Western omelet.

Bake, uncovered, 45-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Casserole will be puffed all over.

Ingredients

Serves 12-14.

3 tablespoons dry pectin

Change it up!

1 cup sugar

1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled

2-3 teaspoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce with seeds removed if desired

2 generous cups diced ham

Refrigerator raspberry chipotle holiday jam .

2 generous cups shredded, cooked chicken

12 oz. bag frozen raspberries, thawed to room temperature Instructions

Ladle into containers and seal.

Vegetarian version:

Combine pectin and sugar in bowl, whisking to blend.

Refrigerate up to about a month.

In a food processor, put in peppers, raspberries, and pectin mixture. Process until smooth.

Yield: About 4 containers, 4 oz. each

Saute a small chopped onion in a bit of butter. Add several generous handfuls chopped fresh spinach. Cook just until spinach wilts. Cool and use instead of meat.

Tip: Blend or process chipotle peppers in adobo before using. Seed before processing if you want. Much easier to measure this way.

Pour into bowl and let sit for an hour, stirring occasionally until sugar and pectin dissolve.

SPORTS Moeller baseball to have new home by fall 2021 Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

KENWOOD - With eight Ohio high school state championships, Moeller High School will soon have its own stadium honoring past and present Crusaders. The $14 million "Raise the Shield" campaign underway will increase the school's endowment, expand the current campus on Montgomery Road and continue to embrace athletics at a new location. That location is in Miamiville, close to the Wards Corner Road area and is "Project 4" of a four-part endeavor. A parent of an alumnus, donated about 30 acres of prime land at 6123 Second St. in Miamiville to help grow Moeller’s athletic programs. "We've been operating on 11 acres," Moeller athletic director Mike Asbeck said. "The things we've been able to do here with the land that we have has been outstanding. To have this land donated to us, to be able to build a facility that we foresee being one of the top in the area will not only bode well for our community but most importantly for our kids that come through these doors." The baseball stadium will recognize past teams like the eight state champions (1972, 1989, 1993, 2004, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2015). Moeller's fi rst coach Mike Cameron won the fi rst four state titles. He's since served as an assistant to Tim Held and junior varsity head coach but has recently hung up his cleats. On a virtual gathering of supporters Dec. 1, Cameron detailed how the Crusaders began playing on the All Saints Church fi eld next to Moeller that was just 220 feet down the right-fi eld line. From there they went to Malsbury Field in Blue Ash, which is now an apartment complex. Next up was the Blue Ash Sports Center where the Crusaders used the Crosley Field and Riverfront replicas. Most recently they've been nearby that location at Schuler Park. "To have our own baseball fi eld after 60 years of having relationships with Sycamore Township and Blue Ash is going to be awesome," Held said. "At fi rst it will be just baseball to get the complex off the ground. After that, they want to build an all-purpose fi eld for football, lacrosse, soccer and rugby. They want to build another activity center out there that has locker rooms, indoor training, therapy, weight training, but that will be a few years down the road." Moeller does have a soccer fi eld and a football fi eld behind the school at the Gerry Faust Athletic Complex, but there are no lights due to the proximity of subdivisions, so Crusader fans are used to traveling. "People that have never been here before show up and their expectations are that we have some major complex," Asbeck said. "They don't understand that we do have to rent a lot of the facilities that we do use. To have that not be the case, to have someplace to call home is going to be fun, it's going to be nice and it's going to be rewarding for our guys here at Moeller." Because the school is land-locked, Moeller football over the years has been played at the old Galbreath Field near Kings Island, Lockland's Roettger Stadium

and most recently at Princeton High School. The campus fi elds also don't have lights. Moeller's major leaguers will also be recognized at the new Miamiville property such as Baseball Hall of Famers Barry Larkin and Ken Griff ey jr. The Crusaders have also produced Buddy, David and Mike Bell, Andrew Brackman, Phillip Diehl, Adam Hyzdu (brother of Moeller President Marshall Hyzdu), Stephen Larkin, Bill Long, Len Matuszek, Eric Surkamp, Brent Suter and Alex Wimmers. Moeller President Marshall Hyzdu, Mike Cameron and baseball coach Tim Held held a virtual kick-off Dec. 1 for alumni, parents and friends. Other capital improvements of "Raise the Shield" will be a student commons, innovation hub, performing arts center, locker rooms, and band and choir rooms. “Our vision is two-fold,” said Hyzdu, a 1996 alumnus of the high school. “We want Moeller to be the best high school in the country and we want our school to be fi nancially aff ordable for everyone. We are at a pivotal time in Moeller’s history and this campaign ensures we fulfi ll our Mission -- Catholic. Marianist. Forming our Students into Remarkable Men.” To date, the school has raised $11.5 million of the $14-million capital campaign goal. “We have been awed by our donors’ support during the quiet phase of the campaign and we believe that the public phase of the campaign will deliver similarly impressive results,” Hyzdu said. “We are grateful for the support and thank all the donors for their generos-

ity and investment in Moeller High School.” The Raise the Shield campaign will run through the end of June 2021. When fully funded, its highlights will include: Project 1: Classroom 2.0 (Completed) -- $3 million Project 2: Student Commons (September 2021), Innovation Hub (September 2022), and Band Room/ Choir/Locker Room (November 2020) -- $7 million. Project 3: Performing Arts Center/Theater (2022) -$1 million Project 4: Sports Complex: baseball stadium (Fall 2021) -- $2 million Endowment -- $1 million "The project is well on its way," Held said. "Over these next three to four years we're going to see lots of changes, lots of great changes for all of our students at Moeller." Held is in his 25th year with Moeller, the past 14 as head coach. On Tuesday's virtual call he was graced by several familiar faces whom he hadn't seen since they got out of college. He looks forward to having a permanent site for Crusader players past and present to gather and enjoy the game they love. The target date is fall 2021. "That's our goal, one year from now," Held said. "They said, 'Would October be good? or should we shoot for the next spring?' I said if you can get me November's weather that we just had, I'd like to be out there next October so we could do some things in November."

Top moments from 2020 high school sports season Shelby Dermer

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Mariemont's Luke Brothers powers home a goal for the Warriors at the 2020 OHSAA Boys Division III State Soccer Championship on Nov. 14, 2020. GEOFF BLANKENSHIP/FOR THE ENQUIRER

In a season that almost didn't happen due to the pandemic, local athletes and teams turned in storybook performances on the biggest stages. Here are the top moments from Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and Southeast Indiana this fall. St. Xavier football wins Division I state championship St. Xavier was the best football team in Division I and left little doubt about it en route to the program's fourth state championship. The Bombers' high-fl ying off ense was steered by junior quarterback Brogan McCaughey, who found aerial success with receivers Jalen Patterson and Liam Clifford combining for 135 catches for 1,954 yards and 21 touchdowns. After back-to-back close wins over Lakota West (10-7) and Springfi eld (12-10), the Bombers put together the perfect performance in a 44-3 win over Pickerington Central in the D-I state fi nal. McCaughey threw four touchdowns to Patterson and ran for another and the St. X defense gave up just 76 total yards. East Central boys soccer goes to regional fi nals The East Central boys soccer team was one victory away from a trip to state. The Trojans embarked on a historic season, going 15-3-1 with a sectional championship. East Central was led by sophomore JT Roden, who had 13 goals and nine assists. The Trojans' season ended in the regional fi nal, where they fell on penalty kicks to Franklin Central.

Mariemont boys soccer captures fi rst state championship The Mariemont Warriors had a storybook season with a storybook ending. Mariemont capped off a perfect season (23-0) with a 4-1 victory over Cardinal Mooney in the Division II state championship game at MAPFRE Stadium Nov. 14. Senior Luke Brothers was the Cincinnati Hills League player of the year and had two goals and an assist in the state fi nal. St. Ursula's Pendergast wins Division I state singles championship St. Ursula's Elizabeth Pendergast suff ered a fi rstround loss in the OHSAA state singles bracket in 2019 and came back for redemption this fall. The senior cruised through the D-I bracket, then held off friendly rival Shyla Aggarwal in the state fi nal for the hardware. Lakota West football ends Colerain's streak, wins Greater Miami Conference A peculiar year had an abnormal start in Week 1, when Lakota West, led by former Colerain head coach Tom Bolden, ended Colerain's 87-game Greater Miami Conference win streak with a 10-0 triumph. The Firebirds would keep the pedal down for the rest of the year, winning the conference outright and making the regional championship game. Mount Notre Dame volleyball wins No. 10 To no surprise, a Greater Girls Catholic League volleyball squad found themselves bidding for a state championship. This time, it was GGCL runner-up Mount Notre Dame that claimed the Division I state championship with a four-set victory over Parma PadSee TOP MOMENTS, Page 2B

ua Franciscan. It's the 10th career state volleyball title for Mount Notre Dame and the fi rst since 2015. Northern Kentucky cross country state champions Northern Kentucky had great showings at the state championship races at Bourbon County Park on Halloween. Bishop Brossart and Scott girls each collected state titles. Brossart went back-to-back in 1A and Scott won the 2A for its fi rst team championship since 1998. On the individual side, Highlands' sophomore Maggie Schroeder was the fi rst individual state champion in program history. She fi nished 17 seconds ahead of the runner-up. Also cruising to an individual crown was Brossart's Claire Curtsinger, a junior who fi nished 23 seconds ahead of teammate Amy Klocke. Lakota West boys win state cross country title Greater Cincinnati was well-represented among the top-tier runners in the Division I state championship race at Fortress Obetz. 5 of the top-10 runners were local products, but it was Lakota West who netted momentous points from Zachary Beneteau (8th) and Kaleb Martin (10th) to help the Firebirds win a state team title. Lakota West held off St. Xavier from capturing its second-straight D-I crown. The Bombers were led by state runner-up Nathan Mountain. Wyoming football rallies late to beat Valley View Wyoming football was on the ropes in the Division IV regional semifi nals when it trailed Valley View, 2114, late in the fourth quarter and needed to drive the length of the fi eld. The Cowboys needed just three plays as quarterback Brennan Pagan fi red a game-tying touchdown pass to Joop Mitchell to force OT. Pagan would run for a touchdown in the extra stanza, then fi nd running back C.J. Hester for the game-winning touchdown. The comeback win propelled the Cowboys to the regional fi nal, where they would handle Clinton-Massie for their third consecutive trip to the state Final Four. Taylor volleyball snaps Wyoming's 152-game CHL win streak The Taylor girls volleyball team pulled off one of, if not the biggest, wins in program history this season. The Yellowjackets went 16-7 and knocked off CHLchampion Wyoming in four sets Oct. 13. It was Taylor's fi rst victory over Wyoming in 11 years and ended Wyoming's 152-game conference win streak. Roger Bacon football wins program's fi rst regional championship Roger Bacon's 2019 postseason run came to an end on a controversial call. The Spartans would use that as fuel for the 2020 campaign, where they ran through the Miami Valley Conference to claim the top spot in the Region 20 playoff s. Led by LSU commit Corey Kiner, who bolstered his Ohio Mr. Football resume with 1,866 yards and 35 touchdowns, the Spartans rolled to their fi rst-ever regional championship. Roger Bacon started 10-0 with only one game decided by one possession.

CPS students get back on the fi eld While many teams across the city were in the midst of their seasons, Cincinnati Public School members were left on the outside looking in. Rallies were held in support of CPS athletes getting on the fi eld, then the moment fi nally came when the school district allowed member schools to resume athletics in mid-September. Hughes volleyball would go on to win the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference with a 13-1 record and Western Hills football won the 2020 city championship. Notre Dame Academy volleyball returns to glory Notre Dame Academy volleyball had won eight of the KHSAA's fi rst 16 volleyball state titles, but hadn't captured a title since 1994. The Pandas returned to glory days behind head coach and 1990 NDA grad Molly McDermott, who led the team to its fi rst state championship in 26 years. The Pandas beat Mercy in a fi ve-set thriller in the fi nale on Nov. 7. Sophia Kuerze has record-setting season for Oak Hills Sophia Kuerze in Oak Hills girls soccer's 12-5-3 season. The sophomore set the Oak Hills' single-season record in goals scored (25) — a record that had stood since 1994 — and total points (63). She also is second in program history in assists in a season (14) and was named fi rst-team Greater Miami Conference. Kuerze assisted fellow sophomore Erykah Cornett for the game's only goal in Oak Hills' 1-0 upset win over No. 2 Loveland in the district semifi nal. Oak Hills would made the district fi nal, where they fell to Centerville. 16 touchdowns in three weeks for Ty Stylski Grabbing the early-season headlines in the prep football season was Kings' running back Ty Stylski, who went on a scoring rampage to start the year for the Knights. In the fi rst three weeks of the season, the sen-

ior ran for 637 yards and 15 touchdowns and caught 10 balls for 178 yards and a score. Stylski ended up with 1,033 yards, helping lead Kings to the regional semifi nals, but an injury sidelined him for the Knights' season-ending loss to Winton Woods. Stylski was named the Eastern Cincinnati Conference's co-off ensive player of the year. Mason girls golf runs away with GMC, logs runner-up fi nish at state There was no catching the Mason girls golf team at the GMC championship match this season. The Comets ran way with the conference title, fi nishing with a new GMC match record 579, three strokes better than the 582 set by Mason in 2010. The Comets would go on to state, where they fi nished as Division I runner-up. Ross football runs to regional fi nal Ross entered the 2020 season having never won a playoff game in program history. They ended the year on the doorstep of the state fi nal four. Following a season-opening loss to Badin, Ross won eight straight with only one decided by less than two touchdowns. Fullback Jackson Giff ord and quarterback C.J. Boze combined for 2,733 rushing yards and 40 touchdowns as Ross ran away with a Southwest Ohio Conference championship. The Rams' run came to an end in the regional title game with a 35-21 loss to Kettering Alter. Harrison football wins playoff game at the gun The fi rst season of football on the new turf at Bill Kuntz Field ended in style for Harrison football. The Wildcats opened postseason play at home against Lima Senior and trailed 21-0 at halftime. Three Mason Young touchdowns put Harrison back in the game, but the Wildcats still trailed in the waning seconds of regulation. With just six seconds left, Young hit wide receiver Nic Pucci for a game-winning 45-yard touchdown on the fi nal play of the game.

COMMUNITY NEWS Mariemont Kiwanis’ annual nut sale goes virtual, benefi ts local students By Natalee Shriver, Mariemont High School Journalism student Originally written for and published in the Mariemont Town Crier, December 2020 The beginning of December marks the start of the annual Kiwanis of Mariemont Nut Sale. There will be many sweet and salty treats sold this year, and the profi ts go towards a good cause. The annual Kiwanis of Mariemont Nut Sale started years ago as a fun addition to the holiday season. Sales typically take place at the Mariemont City School District’s holiday concerts. However, since COVID-19 has caused the cancellation of all in-person concerts, there is a new way of fundraising this year. You can make your purchase online at MariemontKiwanis.org/nuts through the end of December. The 2020 Kiwanis of Mariemont Nut Sale will off er all of the classic favorites: chocolate covered peanuts, almonds, raisins, and plain cashews as well as multiple trail mixes and holiday assortments – including the popular honey-Cajun fl avor. Nuts and other treats being sold come in six-ounce bags for $5, or you can get a 12-ounce tin for $10. All of the money from this sale goes directly toward an annual scholarship to a deserving senior at Mariemont High School. David Peterson, head of marketing for the nut sale, noted that “to this date, [Kiwanis] has provided $250,000 in scholarships to over 100 students over the years.” Mariemont graduate Kristen Keyes (2019) is a recent recipient of the Kiwanis Scholarship. Keyes earned it for her community service, and she was recognized as having served the most volunteer hours in the history of the Mariemont Kiwanis. Since it allowed her to become a member of the Kiwanis, she considered the scholarship a reminder that “service is a gift, not a requirement.” Her recognition for outstanding community service helped her through college. Kristen recalled, “[The scholarship] took some weight off my shoulders while trying to choose a school, knowing I had support behind me.” The holidays are the season for giving back. One simple way to do that is by buying some Kiwanis nuts or trail mixes. Not only will you be getting a delicious product, you are supporting the Kiwanis Scholarship, which could potentially help someone through college so they can graduate with very little debt. David Peterson, Kiwanis Club of Mariemont

Loveland Presbyterian Church donates to City Gospel Mission As part of their Thanksgiving Mission Project, the members and friends of Loveland Presbyterian Church purchased supplies for and assembled sixty hygiene kits to be donated to City Gospel Mission. Leslie Westcott, LPC Mission team member, said, “We are incredibly grateful to all those who donated funds and items to this project. We pray God blesses those who receive a kit from CGM.” Michael Spresser, Loveland Presbyterian Church

Local Lowe’s Heroes donate $2K in wishlist items to Stepping Stones Two local Lowe’s store managers recently spread goodwill at Stepping Stones. Samantha Attinger of the Mason store and Travis Caldwell of the Beechmont location made a special delivery to the nonprofi t agency’s Given Campus in Indian Hill. With them, they brought a bounty of tools from Stepping Stones’ wishlist – valued at $2,000. The donation to Stepping Stones was made possible through the Lowe’s Heroes program, a companywide initiative that gives employees the opportunity to support improvement projects in their local community. Cassandra Moore, an Educational Aid in Stepping Stones’ alternative education program for students with autism, nominated Stepping Stones’ to be included in this year’s giving season. “We are very grateful for the generosity of our local Lowe’s Heroes,” shared Stepping Stones Executive Director Chris Adams. “Like so many, we are facing the eff ects of the current pandemic and its impact on available resources. The tools Lowe’s provided from our wishlist will be a big help to our maintenance team and we are thankful for their support.” Founded in 1963, Stepping Stones is a nonprofi t, United Way partner agency that supports youths and adults with disabilities in building pathways to independence. The organization off ers a variety of recreation and educational programs at four Greater Cincinnati locations, including sites in Batavia, Indian Hill, Norwood and Western Hills. To learn more about Stepping Stones, visit SteppingStonesOhio.org. Kelly Lund, Stepping Stones, Inc.

First-ever virtual fundraiser for 55 NORTH exceeds expectations As with many endeavors during the COVID-19 pandemic, hosting a critical fundraising event has been especially challenging for local non-profi ts. The North Star Soiree held on Nov. 5 to benefi t the important work of 55 NORTH was no exception. Leadership at the critical organization providing supportive services, innovative and inclusive programming to area seniors committed to hosting its fi rst-ever virtual fundraiser. “Fundraising support is essential for our organization’s work to continue,” said Shelley Goering, 55 NORTH Executive Director. “Planning a virtual event was new territory for us, and we really didn’t know what to expect. Given its success, we will likely include a virtual component in all future fundraising eff orts,

even after we are again able to have in-person events.” The team’s initial concerns proved “virtually” unfounded. This event boasted a more than 100% increase in online participants versus in-person guests attending last year’s gala. The success of the event was due to a strong and cohesive group eﬀ ort but also due in no small part to the leadership, commitment, and energy of event co-chairs Crystal Faulkner and Tom Cooney. The organization, which has spent the past 46 years serving older adults in the East End, Hyde Park, Madisonville, Mount Lookout , Oakley, O’Bryonville and South Norwood, recently changed its name to 55 NORTH and adopted a new mission statement in support of the vision that all adults are supported, connected, and respected in their community. “The challenge to keep supporting our neighbors during this diﬃ cult time wasn’t going away,” said 55 NORTH Board President Dan Hendricks. “The funds raised during the Soiree will make sure we continue to embody a sense of connection for everyone-regardless of age.” For more information about programs, contributing and participation, call 513-321-6818 or visit https:// www.55NORTH.org/. Pepper Peale, 55 NORTH

Ken Anderson Alliance celebrates volunteers From the “Tailgate Crew” to the Board of Directors – volunteers have contributed more than 2,550 hours to the Ken Anderson Alliance in the last two years and were honored during a virtual recognition party on Nov. 19. Founded by volunteers, the Ken Anderson Alliance is a local nonproﬁ t dedicated to providing live, work, and engage opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities in Greater Cincinnati. Former Cincinnati Bengal great Ken Anderson welcomed everyone on the Zoom call and thanked them for their service. Volunteer Coordinator, Theresa Ciampone, says that “Volunteers are vital to KAA and we simply could not oﬀ er our programs without their help. From our volunteer Board of Directors who direct policy and planning to our fundraising event volunteers and small group outing helpers, volunteers are an essential part of everything we do.” Fifty-one volunteers gave a total of 1,221 volunteer hours helping with Engage Outings in the past two years. The outing volunteers helped participants engage in conversation, practice social skills, and have fun taking part in various activities – everything from putt-putt golf to Red’s games and restaurant dinners.

Rob and Melissa Overbeck of (I think Colerain Township, are long-time supporters of KAA who step-up in a variety of ways – from offi ce help to use of their truck to pick up donations – their assistance is a true gift. Roger Rosenthal, of Mason, is an outing volunteer who has been an enthusiastic part of virtual zoom calls with participants for several months. He’s even subbed for staff and led some of the calls to help our adults stay connected and reduce loneliness. David Kahle, of Milford, was recognized for his years of work on Autism Rocks – a major fundraising event for KAA. O2 Urban farms, KAA partner, noted Lucinda Hurst and Bob Menninger as valued team members. Board president, Bill McCloy said “Volunteerism is the backbone of any good nonprofi t and you guys are the best.” Bill and Jenny McCloy were recently honored as Philanthropist of the Year by the Association of Fundraising Professionals in Cincinnati.

2020 Cincinnati Gives Challenge fundraising competition kicks Off Giving Tuesday in Cincinnati Cincinnati Magazine’s annual Cincinnati Gives Challenge presented by Procter & Gamble involves nearly 100 local charities competing to raise the most money Nov. 30 through Dec. 10, with the top teams winning $35,000 in cash prizes from Cincinnati Magazine. The massive, community-wide fundraising initiative is primed to make a historic, philanthropic impact in Greater Cincinnati once again this holiday season. The challenge kicks off at 5:00 p.m. the evening before Giving Tuesday and could not come at a better time as local non-profi ts continue to face unprecedented challenges this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 100 percent of the funds raised through the challenge are funneled directly to the participating charities. Organizers are aiming to raise $350,000, which would push the Cincinnati Gives Challenge cumulative dollars raised to over the $1.5 million mark. The entire community is encouraged to participate to help achieve these goals and make this extraordinary eff ort a success. The community is encouraged to support their favorite non-profi ts early and often throughout the magazine’s 10-day challenge by donating at cincinnatigives.org. Candice Terrell, Fierce Marketing
