‘We have nowhere to go’ Family forced to relocate due to sinkhole Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Amanda Angelo, right, and her family will have to relocate from their Riverside Drive apartment after a water main break created a sinkhole.

$300 of groceries they just bought. “Our New Year’s resolution is we’re not eating out anywhere,” Angelo said. “Look at us now – sticking my foot in my mouth.” Her boyfriend may have to miss work. Her children are upset and she’ll have to ﬁ gure out a way to do their virtual learning from somewhere else. At 2:30 p.m., she said her landlord told them there would be some assistance, so if they aren’t directed to go somewhere, they plan on driving down the street and waiting at least a little while. But she said they were more fortunate than some. Another family lost everything, had their home condemned and were told they couldn’t go inside to get their belongings, she said. Now she waits. Oﬃ cials have said it could be two weeks or longer before things are repaired. “My anxiety is high. Change is a lot for me, but I’m hanging in there,” Angelo said. “We’ll all get through this together as a community.”

Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – Monday, Jan. 4. Amanda Angelo wasn’t sure where she was staying Monday night. At 2:30 p.m. Monday, she was packing up her house, her kids, her life and preparing to spend at least two weeks away. As she got her things together, she could look outside and see the massive sinkhole on Riverside Drive forcing her family and at least seven others away. “We have nowhere to go, no nothing. It’s a lot,” Angelo said. “I don’t even know what to take. We just went grocery shopping this morning.” She and her boyfriend and her four children between the ages of 5 and 11 stayed in the apartment in the cold Sunday night. Angelo, 33, said they were initially told it would be safe to stay, so they bought heaters and prepared to tough it out with no water or gas, but around 2 p.m. Monday, her landlord and the city of Cincinnati said it was no longer safe. Her landlord had just come around to collect some of this month’s rent Monday morning, she said. He told her they might get a portion of it back. The 60-inch water main broke Saturday afternoon creating a sinkhole and basically swallowing a car in the process. Angelo said they were out getting groceries and swinging by a relative’s house when it happened. They saw the scene when they pulled on their street. “We thought it was the ﬁ re hydrant, but then we saw the pavement cracking,” she said. They stayed with a friend Saturday night returning the next day, but sleeping in the apartment was surreal. “It was like a movie scene outside,” Angelo said. “So much light and people working.” She couldn’t sleep. In the daylight, she saw the edge of the hole just feet away from her front window. She said she watched as the workers dug the hole deeper to reach the water main. Now she’s trying to decide if she should take the cats or leave out food for them, and what she should do with the

Milford is looking for a buyer to turn a former bank building in the heart of its historic downtown into a restaurant or retail shop. The city is asking interested parties to make an oﬀ er on the former Park National Bank property at 25 Main St. and a proposal for its use by Friday, Jan. 29. Milford bought the 2,192-squarefoot bank building on just over onetenth of an acre of land for $540,000 on Dec 10, according to the Clermont County auditor’s website. Park National Bank of Newark closed the Milford branch and 20 others in Ohio and North Carolina earlier this year. Milford says in a request for proposals posted on its website that preferred uses of the former bank building in its city include convenience, entertainment or specialty retail businesses, a bookstore and a niche or breakfast/ brunch restaurant. It does not want the single-story building with a basement constructed in 1977 to reopen as any kind of ﬁ nancial institution. Milford says in its request for proposals that a buyer would be smart to plug into the city’s growing commercial and housing successes. “Downtown Milford has been experiencing a renaissance over the past few years and has extremely low vacancy rates. Over $12 million dollars in new construction development has occurred in the last three years,” the request says. “The property is located within several hundred feet of the Little Miami

Anderson H.S. names ﬁ nal 5 choices for new mascot Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Anderson High School and Forest Hills Local School District announced the fi nal fi ve choices in its search for a new mascot on Jan. 6. The fi nal choices are: h Comets. h Phoenix. h Raptors. h Ravens. h Riverhawks. Ten semi-fi nalists were voted on in December. Anderson High School has

been without a logo since July 2 when the Forest Hills School District board voted the "Redskins" retire with no substitute. The mascot debate has surfaced multiple times since at least 1999, but came to a head this summer after more than 16,500 signatures were gathered in a petition that said the "Redskins" is the "moral equivalent of the N-word." Other social media posts and in-person rallies prompted the vote, and the district has since moved to change the mascot partially through funds collected on a

GoFundMe page: gofundme.com/f/ ahs-logo-and-brand-transition An Anderson High School Brand and Logo Steering Committee, comprised of staff , students, alumni and community members, reviewed more than 230 mascot suggestions before choosing the 10 semi-fi nalists. Alumni, current and future students will be able to participate in this fi nal survey round on Jan. 28. "I have been incredibly proud of our students throughout this entire process. I know we are all very excited to see

which of these ﬁ nalists is ultimately selected so we can begin to rally around our new brand and logo, which will be fully implemented next school year," Anderson High School Principal Rob Fellows said in a Jan. 6 release. The release says the ﬁ nal choice for the new Anderson High School Mascot will be revealed in early to mid-February. Alumni can vote through a survey posted to the Anderson High School website on Jan. 28, and current and future students will take the surveys at school.

Brewing Company, six restaurant eateries, an upcoming Cincinnati Whiskey Distillery and the Little Miami Event Center, all downtown. Several real estate developers have commented that downtown Milford is becoming a small version of Over-the-Rhine with the amount of specialty retail shops, entertainment, and unique eateries.”

Milford’s request for proposals also says that: h Rowhouses, condominiums and single-family home subdivisions are in the works for the downtown area. h The average household income within a ﬁ ve-mile radius of the city’s downtown is estimated to be about $111,000 and the former Park National Bank is less than a mile from the tony communities of Indian Hill and Terrace Park. “With those communities having no or little retail areas, those residents are increasingly considering Milford to

be their downtown,” the proposal says. h An Ohio Department of Transportation count this year found more than 10,750 cars pass the former bank every day. Milford plans to designate the building’s parking spaces for public use but may allow some of them to be used exclusively by the new owner. The new owner could be eligible for tax abatements and rebates and a matching grant program to make façade and accessibility improvements.

Meet SW Ohio's 4 new state lawmakers Jessie Balmert Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS – Four new lawmakers from Southwest Ohio are headed to Columbus to tackle the novel coronavirus, a broken school funding formula and a slew of other legislative tasks. One, former U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt, has been there before. Another, Madison Township Trustee Thomas Hall, will be the youngest in the room. All Republicans, each brings his or her past experiences to a job that will be challenging amid a COVID-19 crisis and tight state coﬀ ers. The Enquirer talked with each about how they will rise to the occasion.

District 65: Jean Schmidt Unlike her predecessor, Jean Schmidt doesn’t want to impeach the sitting Republican governor. Schmidt’s return to politics after an eight-year hiatus won’t be marked by quixotic eff orts that defi ned Rep. John Becker’s tenure, including an attempt to charge DeWine with crimes. “I want to work with the governor,” Schmidt said. “I want to make sure that Ohio is the best state in the nation and to do that, we have to work with everyone.” Schmidt, a former state and U.S. representative, said she would prefer that businesses be open, but she isn’t sure if that can happen safely. “I don’t question what (DeWine) does, because I know he’s doing it to make sure that we’re safe,” Schmidt said. “He’s not doing it to shut the economy down or to ruin the economy.” Even so, DeWine’s policies have created winners and losers. Schmidt pointed to an attorney general decision that closed Hobby Lobby stores while competitors like Walmart remained open. Schmidt fi rst considered a return to Columbus during a family reunion in 2017 when a cousin encouraged her to run. Former House Speaker Larry Householder also asked her to replace Becker and Householder-linked political action committees spent money in her race. “I began to realize that experience does matter,” Schmidt said.

Jean Schmidt is returning to the Ohio Legislature after an eight-year gap in public service. PROVIDED

Schmidt comes with political experience but also political baggage. While in Congress, an ethics investigation ordered Schmidt to repay at least $500,000 in legal services provided by Turkish Coalition of America attorneys. “Everything has been satisfi ed,” Schmidt said. “That’s all I can legally say.” As she returns to the Ohio Legislature, Schmidt said not much has changed. More work is done online and the number of committees has increased, but some of the faces are the same. “The structure of government doesn’t change much,” Schmidt said. One of the biggest challenges she and other lawmakers will face is the state budget, which will be slashed because of COVID-19’s repercussions. “We’re going to have more needs and less dollars to fi ll those needs,” she said. Schmidt wants to make sure nursing homes’ coff ers aren’t cut after they spent signifi cant money this year to keep residents safe. She also worries about students unable to learn from home because they lack access to technology or support. “My fear is we’re going to have a generation that’s going to be less educated because of this,” she said.

Where she lives: Loveland Occupation: former U.S. representative and state lawmaker Who is she replacing?: Rep. John Becker, R-Union Township, who lost a bid for Clermont County commissioner. Where is the 65th House District? Northwestern Clermont County, including Loveland, Milford, Newtonsville and Owensville, as well as Goshen, Miami, Stonelick, Union and Wayne townships.

District 66: Adam Bird Adam Bird emerged victorious from a bruising three-way Republican primary where dark money groups fl ooded the Brown and Clermont county district with attack ads and lies. Bird, a retired New Richmond superintendent, said he had one advantage in that fi ght: People knew he wasn’t the caricature painted in attack ads. “It was hard to lie about me because people knew who I was,” Bird said. “I’ve been in this community for 33 years, and they knew my record as a teacher, as a coach, as a principle, as a superintendent.” Bird plans to take that experience to Columbus. As a superintendent, Bird learned how to negotiate with 12 diff erent school

board members over nine years, teachers’ and bus drivers’ unions and concerned parents. “Learning to work with many diff erent people with many diff erent points of view, I think is a skill set that you learn in that role,” he said. He wants to tackle school funding reform, emphasize STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and vocational training and allow parents to choose charter or private schools for their children. “I am concerned about over testing of our students,” Bird said. “I am concerned about the overreliance on that testing to grade schools, principals, teachers.” He also worries about the eff ects of closing schools amid the novel coronavirus outbreak. “I am someone who does not believe that this virus is having an eff ect on school-age kids,” Bird said. “I think we’re punishing kids, and I want to see schools fully restore their sports programs, their academic programs.” However, those at higher risk of inSee LAWMAKERS, Page 6A

fection, such as his older parents, inlaws and pregnant daughter, should take precautions to protect themselves from COVID-19, he said. “I do believe in freedom,” Bird said. “I do believe that give people the right information, the correct information and let them make decisions that are in their own best interest.” Where he lives: New Richmond Occupation: Retired superintendent of New Richmond Schools Whom is he replacing?: Rep. Doug Green, R-Mount Orab, who is term-limited. Where is the 66th House District? All of Brown County and southeastern Clermont County.

District 52: Jennifer Gross When Jennifer Gross tried to return to active duty with the U.S. Air Force, she received some unwelcome news. After 21 years of military service, nine active and 12 in reserve, Gross was told she was too old. She had a lengthy career at that point, having served in Saudi Arabia and Sarajevo and even worked as the ﬂ ight nurse on call for Black Hawk Down. “I was literally the one who took the call of the casualties for that,” Gross said. The idea that the U.S. Air Force wouldn’t want her back was a shock. “So I did like any warrior would do. I cried,” Gross said. “I love our nation. I love our country. I love our state. I just kind of sat back and said, ‘Wow. They don’t want me. I’m too old.’” She found a new mission in running for the Ohio House of Representatives and believes the skills she learned in the military will serve her well in politics. “Never once in the military do we say, ‘Oh, well you have a D behind your name, you have an R behind your name,’ “ Gross said. “I never had a choice. We worked together for a common goal.” Gross knows responding to COVID-19 will be a massive task for the Ohio Legislature next year. She knows COVID is real, because she’s been working on a COVID vaccine this year. When Ohio shut down in the spring, Gross lost her job and ﬁ led for unem-

ployment. Shortly after, she was hired to perform COVID-19 tests. Then, Gross worked on Eli Lilly’s study of monoclonal antibodies, which led to a treatment designed to prevent recently diagnosed COVID-19 patients from ending up in the hospital. The dangers of COVID-19 became real when a colleague lost several relatives within a short period of time. That made her double down on wearing masks and other safety precautions. “It really got my attention,” Gross said. “It’s real. It exists, but the majority of people do not die. But for the people who do lose a loved one, that death was 100%.” The consequences of closing businesses and schools are real, too. Gross said the shutdown didn’t help, citing increased overdose deaths to an uptick in domestic violence. “It is my belief that Americans and Ohioans are strong enough to make their own decisions when it comes to opening their businesses,” she said. “Ohio is not doing well when it comes to the policies associated to COVID.” Gross approaches COVID-19 with a very Republican principle: personal responsibility. “I do not believe that we need to be told how to live our lives,” Gross said. “Do I wear my mask? Yeah, sure. I do. Do I believe that we should be encouraged to do so? Yes. Do I believe 100% that they are completely eﬀ ective? I can tell you, no.”

As a conservative Christian lawmaker, Gross said she will support the three “B”s: businesses, babies and bullets. She opposes the nuclear bailout in House Bill 6, saying “there’s too much baggage.” She wants to serve Butler County because service has been her life. But she knows she’ll have plenty to learn in Columbus ﬁ rst. “I guess a freshman lawmaker is sort of like a two-year-old who wants to go to the moon.” Where she lives: West Chester Township Occupation: Healthcare provider and retired Air Force lieutenant colonel Who is she replacing?: Rep. George Lang, R-West Chester, who is Butler County’s new state senator. Where is the 52nd House District? Fairﬁ eld Township, Liberty Township, West Chester Township and part of Sharonville in Butler County

District 53: Thomas Hall Thomas Hall likes to prove people wrong. Hall was a 19-year-old Miami University student when he sought a Madison Township trustee appointment. He was passed over but later ran for the spot and won. In January, he will be the youngest lawmaker in the Ohio House at 25 years old. He has big political ambitions of leading Ohio as governor one day. Why did he start a political career so early?

“Somebody told me I couldn’t do it,” Hall said. His family also has a long history of public service in Butler County. Both of his parents are fi rst responders and his father is the local fi re chief – making Hall one of his bosses. “That’s been kind of fun,” Hall said. As a state lawmaker, Hall wants to improve broadband access – a problem for township residents struggling to access quality Internet – and improve the state’s school funding formula. “One of my main focuses is making sure we get the school funding situation right for our school districts,” Hall said. “Our teachers and our schools this year have gone through a lot of changes.” Hall supports eff orts to restrict Gov. Mike DeWine’s ability to close businesses, an action the Republican governor took in the spring to limit COVID-19 spread. “The bottom line is we cannot aff ord another shutdown,” Hall said. “The long-term eff ects of the virus are worse than the actual virus.” Lawmakers should trust businesses to follow safety precautions. If that means wearing a mask inside, that’s fi ne with Hall. “For me, it’s not a big deal,” he said. “I respect businesses. If I need to go into somewhere and they ask for a mask, I will wear my mask.” Hall is replacing a polarizing fi gure in Republican politics: Rep. Candice Keller. Keller made headlines after she blamed the Dayton mass shooting on “drag queen advocates,” the Democratic Congress, former President Barack Obama, violent video games and a slew of other things. Ohio Republican Party leader Jane Timken called for Keller to resign over the “shocking” post. Hall said he and Keller might vote in similar ways – he also opposes the nuclear bailout – but their approaches differ. “The bottom line is Rep. Keller and I are two diff erent people,” Hall said. “We lead diff erently. We do things diff erently. We use our social media diff erently.” Where he lives: Madison Township Occupation: Township trustee Who is he replacing?: Rep. Candice Keller, R-Middletown, who lost a GOP primary for state senate. Where is 53rd House District? Northern and western Butler County, including Middletown, Oxford and Trenton.

Bed Bath & Beyond to close 4 Ohio locations by February, including 1 store in Cincinnati Kelly Tyko USA TODAY USA TODAY NETWORK

More Bed Bath & Beyond stores are set to close. Another 43 will be shuttered by the end of February, Bed Bath & Beyond oﬃ cials told USA TODAY Jan. 5. The New Jersey-based home goods retailer – which also operates buybuy Baby and Harmon Face Values – said the locations are currently going through store closing liquidation sales. There are four Ohio locations closing, including one in Cincinnati: h Cincinnati: 650-F Eastgate South Drive h Medina: 4949 Grande Shops Ave. h Stow: 4290 Kent Road

h Warrensville Heights: 4031 Richmond Road Last July, Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. ofﬁ cials said 200 of its namesake stores were expected to close over the next two years, accounting for approximately 21% of its Bed Bath & Beyond stores. In September, the company announced 63 of the 200 stores would close by the end of 2020. The company told USA TODAY Tuesday that by the end of this February it expects to have completed around 60% of the closures, which is about 120 stores. The company conﬁ rmation came ahead of the planned release of its quarterly earnings Jan. 7. Stores in 19 states and Puerto Rico are slated to close in this new round with

California losing nine locations. Florida, Ohio and Virginia will each lose four stores in the round. Even before the coronavirus pandemic, Bed Bath & Beyond planned to close stores and in January 2020 re-

leased a list of 40 closing stores. The company added curbside pickup during the pandemic. Follow USA TODAY reporter Kelly Tyko on Twitter: @KellyTyko

Let us now praise the cottage ham her nose led her into the kitchen. I told her I was just trying something out, and that given the looks of it, my hopes weren’t very high. And that’s the thing about low expectations. They often lead to the biggest surprises. In the case of this cottage ham, it was nothing short of a revelation. The smoky, briny fat had melted into the vegetables, turning the green beans into something that reminded me of my beloved Appalachian great grandmother, even though I never had an Appalachian great grandmother. The potatoes were so salty and ﬂ avorful that I wanted to kitchen tong them up into a brown paper bag to keep around for a snack. Then there was the cooking liquid, which made me curse myself for not making some cornbread in which to dip it. I’ll admit that part of the appeal of cottage ham is the fact that it's called cottage ham. Seriously, how can that not bring about feelings of comfort and joy during this COVID-addled winter of our discontent? According to Dann Woellert, who runs the essential Cincinnati food blog, the Food Etymologist, the name might come from its diminutive size. “A reasonable theory on the name might be that a Cincinnati butcher in the 1800s dubbed them cottage hams because they are small, like a cottage home – just the perfect size for cooking beans.”

Keith Pandolﬁ

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

I didn’t grow up with many Midwestern food traditions. As the child of New Englanders who relocated to Cincinnati when I was 9, I was more familiar with Yankee pot roasts than cheesy casseroles, Prince spaghetti than Cincinnati chili, State Line potato chips than Grippo's. It wasn’t until I started writing for a fancy New York food magazine that my curiosity regarding the foods of this area took hold. I wrote deep dives on goetta; features about Johnny Marzetti and countless stories about our chili. At a time when the New York media seemed obsessed with the regional foods of the South and the West Coast, I proposed that the foods of the Midwest, including German, Appalachian and, yes, Cincinnati foods, deserved just as much attention. Which is why I’m ashamed to admit that it was only eight or so months ago that I discovered a regional food many Enquirer readers probably know quite well: A little something called cottage ham. In case you're as in the dark as I was about cottage hams as I was, you should know that they aren’t really hams at all. While hams are cut from the pig’s upper hind leg, cottage “ham” is cut from the upper part of the shoulder – otherwise known as the butt – which is often used for dishes such as pulled pork. But instead of heading to a local barbecue joint, butchers here in Cincinnati brine and cure the cuts, instead. “We call it the money cut,” says Len Bleh, owner of Avril-Bleh Meats & Deli, Downtown. “We trim them, and cure them for three days in the same brine we use for Canadian bacon and ham hocks.” As to why cottage hams are so unique to Cincinnati, my only guess is that, in a city once dubbed Porkopolis, our local butchers probably came up with all sorts of imaginative things. Cottage ham (and, of course, goetta) were simply the ones that stood the test of time. My own introduction to cottage ham happened last year, a month or so after I moved back to Cincinnati from New York. While shopping at the Newtown Farm Market on Roundbottom Road, I noted a small display of cottage hams from Walnut Creek Farm in Millersburg, Ohio. I picked one of the ﬁ st-sized nubs of meat up in my hand, thought how the name was kind of cute, and put it back. My guess back then was that it was basically just like those small, inexpensive vacuum-sealed hams I pick up at Kroger whenever I’m feeling a little bit hammy. But as the months passed by, I kept seeing them, not just in grocery stores, but in the meat cases of some of the city's best butcher shops. There they were at Wassler Meats on Harrison Avenue; Stehlin’s on Colerain, and, of course, Avril-Bleh, Downtown. When I asked Bleh about the hams, it was like asking him about a long lost love. He described in glowing

detail how his mother used to cook them up with fresh green beans and potatoes. “You know what?” he said. "I’m going to make some cottage ham this weekend. It's been too long." Surly I was missing out on something good. After taking advantage of Bleh’s curbside pickup to procure my fi rst ham, I went home and started Googling recipes. I found a great one right here in The Enquirer from Batavia-based food blogger (and Enquirer contributor) Rita Nader Heikenfeld, who wrote how her mother used to cook cottage hams “on top of the stove in a big, iron kettle.” These days, Heikenfeld uses a slow-cooker, instead, piling it with green beans, potatoes, onion and ham, before letting it cook for 4-6 hours. I did the exact same thing, using the best green beans and baby potatoes I could fi nd at the nearby Fresh Market. Six hours later, I placed the results on a dinner platter and admired the results, which (I have to be honest here) didn’t look all that promising. Those fresh-from-the-farm green beans looked fresh-fromthe-can slimy, the onion, defl ated, the potatoes, well, at least the potatoes looked good. “What is that?” my wife – whose fandom of regular ham was so intense that she used to host an annual ham party when we lived in Brooklyn – asked when

SPORTS Loveland’s Darnell Parker takes on cancer, coaching girls hoops Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Friday, Jan. 8. LOVELAND - He has the smile of a coach whose team is in fi rst place. Of course, those who know Loveland girls basketball coach Darnell Parker will tell you that smile is apparent most days. Some days are good; some are demanding at best. No day, however, is easy for someone battling Stage 4 colon and liver cancer. Stomach pain in late October and the appearance of blood led to Parker getting checked. Three CT scans, an MRI, colonoscopy and biopsy detailed the disturbing news. A month and several tears later, Parker was courtside with his Tigers, a team that has but one loss, an overtime 55-51 December defeat at Edgewood. The Cougars are a team on the fringe of Ohio’s Division I top 10, where Parker hopes to land. Plus, Loveland played the contest without top scorer Jenna Batsch who missed three early games. Minus Jillian Hayes (Cincinnati) and Kate Garry (Akron) who have graduated to Division I college ball from last year’s Eastern Cincinnati Conference championship team, Loveland is undefeated in the league and 12-1 overall after Wednesday’s 47-43 triumph over Lebanon. Down 20-16 in the second quarter, Parker and his assistants got the Tigers to turn up the pressure leading to a 13-0 run before the half. Lebanon sported the ECC’s top-scoring, assist, steals and shooting leader Kendall Foley. Foley would fi nish with 17 points and 7 rebounds putting the Warriors in front 35-33 at the end of three quarters. That lead stood until Jenna Batch nailed a three-pointer in the fi nal minute. She would add two free throws by game’s end completing a late 9-0 run to stay unbeaten in the league. “We never feel we’re out of a ballgame,” Parker said. “We’re going to keep coming at you and coming at you. Our kids are built for this. I’m very proud of them.” Loveland is also very proud of Parker with many of the players sporting “Parker Strong” t-shirts. Prior to the game, he posed in a photo with two supporters. After the game, there was the irreplaceable adrenaline of a victory. “This boosts my spirits!” Parker said. “With everything I’m going through right now, this is kind of my outlet. This is my happy place on the basketball court with these kids. I will sleep well tonight.” Parker aff ectionately calls senior Batsch “Stretch”. She is a 6-foot-1 wing committed to Kent State who has averaged double digits the past two seasons. Senior Tess Broermann has started every game at Loveland for three seasons with junior transfers Nia Kemper (Wyoming) and Vivian Clayton (Sycamore) plus sophomores Olivia Raby and Josie Early rounding out the rotation. “He seems really good and he’s still bringing all the energy,” Batsch said of Coach Parker. “I think it’s motivated the whole team really. We kind of dedicated the season to him at the very beginning. It’s just motivated us to work that much harder in practice and in games. You can see it transferring onto the court.” The fi re still burns for Parker who playfully jogs off the court before giving his team one last shot of pregame motivation in the locker room. On a call he dis-

agrees with he can still appear to be a human pogo stick demonstrating his displeasure.

Top local players in holday college bowl games Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer

Offerpad Arizona Bowl: Ball State 34, San Jose State 13

College football bowl games, completed before the national championship game between Ohio State and Alabama, featured numerous athletes representing the 513 and 859 area codes who prospered. Channel-ﬂ ipping at home, a Tri-State football fan could easily have spotted 10 or more local prep stars on days where multiple bowl games were on display. Here’s a rundown of some of the names you may be familiar with from their high school days.

The Cardinals jumped out to a 27-0 lead on previously unbeaten and undefeated San Jose State who was ranked No. 22. Former Loveland quarterback Drew Plitt was 12-for 19 passing for 217 yards and a touchdown and also ran for a touchdown.

USA TODAY NETWORK

Rose Bowl: Alabama 31, Notre Dame 14

Peach Bowl: Georgia 24, Cincinnati 21 A heartbreaking loss it was in the ﬁ nal seconds, but several locals shined as UC did turn some heads on a national stage. La Salle’s Josh Whyle had three catches for 38 yards and an amazing touchdown catch for the Bearcats to give them a 14-10 halftime lead. UC’s defense held Georgia to their second-lowest point total of the year (they lost to Alabama 41-24, Oct. 17 and defeated Kentucky Oct. 31, 14-3). Colerain’s Darrian Beavers had eight tackles, a sack and a tackle for loss, while La Salle’s Jarell White had three tackles, a sack and a tackle for loss. As previously documented, the Bearcats have emphasized getting top locals in recruiting.

Duke’s Mayo Bowl: Wisconsin 42, Wake Forest 28 Former St. Xavier quarterback Chase Wolf got into the game and was 2-for-3 passing for 14 yards and had a pair of carries for 12 yards. Most importantly, unlike starter Graham Mertz, he did not drop and break the game trophy.

In the national semiﬁ nal loss for the Irish, former Covington Catholic tight end Michael Mayer had seven catches for 62 yards to lead Notre Dame’s passing game. Anderson’s Zeke Correll and Elder’s Tommy Kraemer played on the Irish oﬀ ensive line.

Citrus Bowl: Northwestern 35, Auburn 19 The Wildcats proved worthy of their ranking with a 35-19 win over the Tigers. Former Elder quarterback Peyton Ramsey was named the game’s MVP by going 24-for-35 passing for 291 yards and three scores while running for 50 yards and another. La Salle’s Cam Porter was also highly productive with 33 carries for 98 yards and a touchdown and three receptions for 27 yards. See BOWL GAMES, Page 2B

On the Clemson off ensive line is Fairfi eld’s Jackson Carman and St. Xavier’s Matt Bockhorst. In the game, former Winton Woods running back Miyan Williams got some carries in relief of workhorse Trey Sermon and fi nished with 21 yards. Former St. Xavier linebacker Justin Hilliard had a busy day with eight tackles, a fumble recovery and a tackle for loss. La Salle’s Drue Chrisman had four punts for 189 yards, with a long of 67. True freshman Paris Johnson Jr. of Princeton saw snaps on the off ensive line in the Sugar Bowl.

rather be.” Parker’s GoFundMe page to defray medical costs was started by Melissa McElfresh, his future mother-in-law and mother of former Batavia sharpshooter Samantha McElfresh, Parker’s ﬁ ance. They sell decals, “Parker Strong.” While a packed gym is missed, those in attendance at any Loveland girls game give Parker hope. The overwhelming community support has been needed. He also has had to deal with the recent death of his father as 2020 was cruel in many ways. “It’s amazing to see a community come together, even people we don’t know,” McElfresh said. “People I work with, people he works with, the Loveland community has been amazing. We will never be able to thank everyone enough. The emotional support means

more to us than anything.” Parker, 42, has two daughters from a previous marriage. Alexis is a UC student and Madison is a freshman in the Lakota West basketball program. His fi ght goes on and his smile continues. Loveland’s next game and Parker’s next roundball therapy session is Saturday afternoon at 1:45 when they host Kings. After blood work this week, he’ll have another round of chemotherapy next week. When he can’t make practice due to the exhaustion caused by the treatments, his assistants Keith Braswell, Brad Early, Wray Jean Connor and Mike Knellinger have been there to deliver. The defending ECC Coach of the Year has yet to miss a game but grins with confi dence knowing his staff is behind him. “His smile is contagious,” McElfresh said. “It lights up the fl oor. As tough as this situation is for him to go through, there’s no one else in this world who could handle it but Darnell Parker.”

COMMUNITY NEWS CCC breaks ground on a new 180,000 SF State-of-the-Art facility for Hamilton Security Hamilton Security, a Gunnebo Company, recently held a formal groundbreaking ceremony at its new Clermont County location. The company that currently operates three diff erent facilities throughout the Cincinnati metro area, recently broke ground on its new Cincinnati facility located at 1030 Round Bottom Road in Union Township. Hamilton Security, which manufactures security products, such as safes, vaults, security deposit boxes, windows and audio/visual equipment is planning to bring three existing facilities under one roof. The new 180,000 SF State-of-the-Art facility will sit on 14 acres of land and is scheduled to be complete by the fall of 2021. Cincinnati Commercial Contracting, LLC is the design builder for the project. “I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with John Stroia of Hamilton Security, Tim Schenke and his partner Jeremy Kraus of CBRE as they represent the client; In addition to Union Township and Clermont County offi cials Ken Geis and David Painter, along with Tom Dix for being wonderful people to work with and key to the start of this collaborative project,” says John Westheimer, President of CCC. A best-in-class building The new facility should begin operation late in 2021 with the expectation of retaining 204 jobs and creating 46 new jobs. The building will be 180,000 SF with the possibility of expanding to 220,000 SF in the future. The building will have three precast concrete walls and one metal wall for future expandability. In addition to housing the manufacturing portion of the business, the new building will include approximately 22,000 SF of offi ce space. The facility will be an innovation hub for Hamilton Security, bringing research and development, production, customer support and a customer experience center together. It will include professional offi ces, product testing labs, demonstration areas and pro-

duction space for current and future Hamilton solutions. “This investment in Hamilton, our people and this new facility will allow us to grow and focus on developing innovations and solutions for our customers.” says John Stroia, President of Hamilton Security. This project was a true collaborative eff ort. Hamilton Security and CCC worked with all levels of state and local government to provide the necessary incentives and infrastructure to develop this site. Through the use of TIF, JEDD and the Port Authority the necessary road improvements and infrastructure were able to be brought to the site. These improvements not only allowed Hamilton Security to relocate their operations and jobs here, it helped make the area more marketable and competitive for future development. Round Bottom Road will be improved and have better traffi c fl ow and with the extension of the sewer and other infrastructure to the site will help pave the way for future users. Without the assistance of the township and county offi cials this project would not have been possible. “We are thrilled to partner with Hamilton Security and Cincinnati Commercial Contracting on this project. As a community, we look forward to the signifi cant investment and new jobs as a result of this investment,” Ken Geis, Union Township Administrator, said at the time.

SCHOOL NEWS 2020 CNE Rockets defi ned by willingness to compete First-year Clermont Northeastern High School varsity football coach Steve Thompson said his team didn’t lose games, but learned from them. “I will take Team 56 into any battle, anytime, anywhere. Wins will come, but this is a great group of young men. I am proud to be their coach,” Thompson said. The Rockets were 2-8 overall and 1-4 in the Southern Buckeye Academic and Athletic Conference National Division. Thompson talked about the contributions of several Rockets. Team captain and starting off ensive left tackle ran a 25-minute three-mile run during pre-season workouts. “I am willing to bet there isn’t any 230-pound lineman in the Tristate area that can do that,” Thompson said. “I will put any of my guys’ work ethic and conditioning against any one in the state. I always want to do ‘Ironman Competitions’ with other schools and no one has ever wanted to step up to that challenge.” Championships are won in the off season, Thompson said, and he encourages his players to compete in wrestling, noting that in his four years in the program, the team’s top tacklers have all been wrestlers. “My captain, Hayden Mattes, was no exception. He was my ‘Secretary of Defense’ and came within (half a tackle) of breaking David Pride’s single-season record of 71 2019). Mattes along with J.J. Stricker played every single snap this year on all three facets of the game, off ense, defense, and special teams.” Stricker moved from defensive line to linebacker this season and led the SBAAC with 13 sacks. His 20 career sacks are second all-time at CNE. Senior captain Logan Pottorf caught 20 passes, six for touchdowns, and had nine sacks as defensive end. “He had an injury against Batavia where he separated his shoulder that made him miss two games. Nonetheless, he still plays up until halftime where he had one of the best hits of the year on their quarterback with the shoulder still out,” Thompson said. Landen Amann, CNE’s senior quarterback, set school single-game, single-season and career records despite playing only eight games. He separated his shoulder in the playoff game vs. Preble-Shawnee. Those records were: h Single game passing yards (299 vs. Blanchester). He also has second place with 294 vs. East Clinton. h Most passing touchdowns in a single game (four) vs. Summit Country Day.

Clermont Northeastern quarterback Landen Amann set six school records this season for the Rockets. CLERMONT NORTHEASTERN SCHOOLS/PROVIDED

h Most passing touchdowns in a single season (12). h Most passing touchdowns in a career (24). h Most passing yards in a season (1,408). h Most passing yards in a career (2,338). Another senior, Angus Krug, caught 23 passes, four for touchdowns, and had six sacks playing on the defensive line. With one season remaining, junior receiver Damien Kistler has a chance to set the school record for most receiving yards in a career. He ﬁ nished 2020 with 681, about 300 behind John Bauer. Kistler has the most consecutive 100-yard game sin school history (four), and second- and third-most receiving yards in a game, with 127 vs. Fayetteville and 124 vs. East Clinton. Junior Kris Jenkins was CNE’s “go-to” receiver and played oﬀ ense, defense and all special teams. Senior Jered Glancy tied a school record with a 65yard punt vs. Bethel-Tate, and had other punts of 61

and 57 yards in that game. Thompson also mentioned seniors Hunter Vires, Keegan Braun and Jonathan Purcell for having outstanding seasons. “Keegan Braun is quite possibly one the toughest young men that has ever suited up for us. In his last game wearing Rocket blue, which was our school’s fi rst playoff game against Preble Shawnee, he was trying to block a fi eld goal, when we were down 54-14, and he ended up getting kicked in his side. That kick ended up lacerating a kidney. Keegan still played and fi nished. That was his last game ever. What a warrior. What a way to fi nish.” SBAAC All-Stars First team – Landon Amann, Hayden Mattes. Second team – Damien Kistler, J.J. Stricker. Honorable mention – Angus Krug, Logan Pottorf.

Christmas was ‘a blessing’ Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist

Howdy folks, Our Christmas was postponed until Wednesday night due to one of my great granddaughters being sick on Christmas day. When we got together it was wonderful, from the supper to the great granddaughters playing. The one that was sick ate some ice cream and then felt better and was playing with the other girls. Two of my great granddaughters are Elana and Brooklyn, which are Jennifer and Jason’s girls. The other two are Mattox and Olive, which are Michelle and Brad’s daughters. Mattox and Brooklyn were running around and playing. Mattox ran to me and I picked her up. She is heavy or I am weak. It was a wonderful evening. Elana was sleeping so when she woke up, Bobpa went and picked her up. We were eating dessert, an ice cream cake, so Bobpa gave her some spoons of ice cream. She started to play with the other girls. They were all running around and hollering and playing. I tell you folks, that was one of the best evenings I have had to be with my daughter and her husband, two granddaughters and their husbands, and the four great granddaughters. What a blessing. Not many folks will have that privilege to enjoy their family like this. There was a meat butchering place in Nicholsville run by George and Alice Manning years back. When they both passed away, it was bought by some of their relation. One of the ladies that came to my apartment from Senior Services is a

relative and said that they have already butchered 1,200 deer and counting. The Manning Packing House has been in business for 72 years. It is in Sardinia now. They are busy and there are several folks working there. They do a good job. When the place was at Nicholsville, Ruth Ann‘s dad and us would have hogs butchered there. I went to church this morning after it stopped raining. The crowd was big and the preacher, J D, didn’t preach, but Alan Ausman did and did a good job. I then went to Frisch’s for lunch which I had the breakfast bar and by golly it was good. I am watching the Bengals now. The Ohio State football team sure did a fi ne job winning the game on New Year’s Day. I never was one to watch football. If I had been home, I would probably be in the carpenter shop or doing something for somebody. That is what the Lord wants us to do. The birds are busy at the feeder. There are a lot of cardinals and other kinds of birds. The black buzzards are in the trees near my apartment. There are probably 50 or more of them. They are protected so you can’t shoot or harm them in anyway. I talked to Mike at the Boars Head Bait Shop and Mike said one of his workers had the virus and was off so he was working long hours. The fi shing is good with plenty of crappie, sauger and other kinds of fi sh being caught. The Ohio River is up like East Fork, but the fi shermen are catching plenty of fi sh. Bow season for deer hunting will go until the end of the month. They are harvesting plenty of deer and that is good. Fresh deer meat is good. Ruth Ann sure knew how to fi x it so that it was good. Start your week by praying and praising the good Lord. God bless all ... More later ...

Hueber in 2013, Ravin Alexander in 2017 and Colleen McIlvenna in 2018. Four players have also been named Scholar all-American. She is one of fi ve girls’ soccer players from the Greater Cincinnati area who made the team this year. Throughout her career, Kathryn has been fi rst-team all-Ohio, a USC all-Region team selection, Southwest Ohio Division II player of the year, a twotime all-Southwest Ohio academic team selection and two-time fi rst-team all-Miami Valley Conference selection. At Summit, she has played in 53 games, making 39 starts. She has two goals and one assist in her career. Kathryn helps anchor the stout defensive unit on the team. The team has 31 shutouts in her three seasons. “It has been a pleasure to watch Kathryn’s skill and confi dence grow over the past three seasons. It is rarer for a defender to be named all-American as the scorers tend to be noticed. But opposing coaches consistently mention Kathryn after we play,” coach Fee said. “And as good as she has been on the fi eld, Kathryn is such a quality

person as evidenced by her sportsmanship recognition from the league this season. She represents our school so well.” Overall, Kathryn was one of 116 high school all-Americans as named by United Soccer Coaches. Players on this year’s high school allAmerican teams will be recognized for their accomplishments during the allAmerica ceremony on Saturday, Jan. 16. Nick Robbe, The Summit Country Day School

Try your hand at making crepes A ﬁ nished crepe.

Master crepe recipe The ﬁ rst couple of crepes usually don’t turn out; after that it's easy sailing. Ingredients 11⁄ 2 cups milk 1 large egg, room temperature 1 teaspoon vegetable oil 1 cup all-purpose flour ⁄ 4 teaspoon baking powder

Soft butter for pan Instructions Whisk milk and egg together.

My girls/chickens have really slacked oﬀ laying. The only one producing is Granny, our white leghorn. And she’s the oldest and scrawniest! So I decided

to make crepes with the few eggs I have. Think crepes are hard to make? The answer is no. Yes, they sound fancy but these thin pancakes can be easily made in an omelet pan. Crepes can be ﬁ lled with jam, whipped cream, soft scrambled eggs – just about anything. Maybe you’d like to try your hand at making crepes. Here’s a good recipe to start with

along with two ﬁ llings: savory and sweet. The chocolate ﬁ lled crepes bring memories of grandsons Luke, Will and Jack ordering them for lunch at a sidewalk cafe in Paris several years ago. Just goes to show that a food we think of as gourmet has practical roots – back in 13th century France, a cook accidentally dribbled a bit of egg batter onto a hot griddle. Crepes were born!

⁄ 3 cup whipping cream

Ingredients

frequently.

About 1 pound favorite seafood, cut into small pieces if necessary (shrimp and crab are good) or about 1 pound chicken breast, diced very small

Generous 1⁄ 2 cup Parmesan cheese or to taste, plus more for garnishing

Add seafood or chicken and return to a gentle boil, cooking just until seafood or chicken is cooked.

Parsley for garnish (optional)

Remove from heat and stir in cheese.

Instructions

2 teaspoons seasoning mix: favorite seafood/Cajun seasoning or favorite chicken seasoning

Melt butter over medium heat in pan and add shallots. Cook until tender but not brown. Add seasoning mix and flour, stirring until flour is completely mixed in with butter.

2 to 3 teaspoons flour

Stir in cream and bring to boil, stirring

⁄ 3 cup shallots or onion, diced ﬁ ne

Use batter right away, or put in refrigerator, covered, up to an hour or so. Turn burner to medium. Brush an 8”-10” omelet pan (a skillet with sloping sides) with butter. When it sizzles, pour 1⁄ 4cup batter into pan slowly but steady and twirl the pan until it is covered with crepe mixture on bottom. Cook until splotchy brown on bottom, about 1⁄ 2 to 1 minute.

Creamy chicken or seafood stuffed crepes

3 to 4 tablespoons butter

Whisk in oil, flour and baking powder, until mixture is smooth.

Place a crepe on plate and fi ll, then roll crepe around fi lling, placing seam side down. Put a little extra fi lling on top and sprinkle with cheese and parsley. Yield: 4-6 crepes.

Flip over until golden brown on other side, about 1⁄ 2 minute. Every 2-3 crepes, butter pan again. Yield: 8-12 crepes. Tip: Make ahead and refrigerate several days, sandwiching between waxed paper, or freeze up to a month.

Crepes with chocolate morsels Just melt morsels and smear on crepe. Fold in half, then in fourths.
