Milford students build custom mask for child with autism Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Milford High School teacher Peter Leeper didn’t set a deadline for his senior engineering students’ latest project. Eleven-year-old Kathryn Ferrara did. Kathryn is a Deer Park fi fth-grade student who loves to swim, says her mother, Kathleen Ferrara. Kathryn was born with Down syndrome and diagnosed with autism in the fi rst few years of her life. Kathryn doesn’t want things to touch her face, Ferrara says, which makes mask-wearing impossible. Kathryn is nonverbal, which makes it diffi cult for her mother to know what she needs or wants sometimes. “But what she defi nitely needs is protection from the virus,” Ferrara said. Ferrara says Leeper’s engineering students have provided just that.
‘The gift of acceptance.’
Kathryn, 11, is going on a trip with her mother, Kathleen Ferrera, this February. PROVIDED/KATHLEEN FERRERA
Ferrara and Kathryn are destined for Turks and Caicos Islands this February to attend a fi ve-day retreat for children with autism. They were supposed to go last year but the trip was canceled due to COVID-19, Ferrara said. In order to board the plane, Kathryn needs a mask. Leeper’s students broke out into small groups to come up with a mask for Kathryn that wouldn’t touch her face. Their model includes a plastic face shield with a 3D printed frame that can attach to one of Kathryn’s vests with velcro.
“This is not just for the trip, it’s for life, to keep her safe,” Ferrara said. “It’s life-changing and life-saving.” On Jan. 20, Kathryn and Ferrara came into Leeper’s classroom for a fi tting. Ferrara said it was an “amazing, touching moment” that she won’t forget. Not only are the students creating a lifesaving device for her daughter, Ferrara said, but they are also giving her the “gift of acceptance.” “They’re creating normalcy for our kids and for that we’ll always be grateful,” Ferrara said. “Because, you know, life isn’t always easy when you have differences, and especially in a pandemic.” The latest model is a bit big for Kathryn, Ferrara said. The students are making adjustments in the next week so they can bring the face shield to Kathryn before her trip. “They don’t want to let her down,” Leeper said. Ferrara, a single mother who says she and Kathryn have a “special bond,” said the whole experience has been “extraordinary.” She can now think about taking Kathryn to gyms, museums, doctor’s offi ces, grocery stores and school with more ease and peace of mind. The face shield will change their lives, she said. “It gives me faith and hope in(…) humankind, because it’s been, kind of, such an ugly few years and then these kids just remind me how beautiful most people are on the inside,” Ferrara said.

Audit: Bethel police ‘unprepared’ for BLM counterprotesters Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
The day before a Black Lives Matter rally in Clermont County’s village of Bethel turned into a national spectacle last June, police offi cers received reports that counterprotesters were planning to disrupt the event, possibly with violence. One report warned that motorcycle gangs, including the Hells Angels, planned to attend the rally in hopes of breaking it up. Another said people opposed to Black Lives Matter were being urged to “shower the protesters with a good old ass kicking.” Despite the reports of potential violence, which were revealed in an independent audit submitted to village offi cials this month, Bethel police were “signifi cantly outnumbered and outgunned” when armed counterprotesters swarmed into Bethel on June 14 and
June 15, the audit found. The counterprotesters quickly overwhelmed the small group of peaceful Black Lives Matters protesters, most of whom were local residents. Police Chief Steve Teague, who was placed on leave following the release of the audit, and his fi ve full-time offi cers struggled to keep hundreds of counterprotesters away from the rally. The counterprotesters, many carrying guns and baseball bats, shouted at the Black Lives Matter protesters, pushed them, tore their signs and blocked them from marching. Several people were injured and police arrested about a half dozen counterprotesters. “Chief Teague found himself overwhelmed, ill-equipped and unprepared to handle an event of this magnitude,” wrote the auditor, Scott Hughes, who also is a police academy commander and the police chief of Hamilton TownSee AUDIT, Page 2A

More projects to come Leeper says his students have worked on about a dozen projects to help children with special needs. The engineering program often partners with Clermont County Early Intervention and May We Help, a Hamilton County nonprofi t that works with people with disabilities. “(The students) love it because they recognize that their work is meaningful,” Leeper said. “I can make any class hard, make it rigorous. And I can also make classes fun, you know, doing diff erent things that are fun to do. “But when you are doing meaningful work it changes the dynamic totally and the level of investment and engagement

ship in Warren County. “Frankly, (the police department) is extremely fortunate no one was severely injured, or worse,” Hughes wrote. Bethel Mayor Jay Noble said Jan. 27 that he and the village council are considering other actions in response to the audit’s fi ndings, in addition to placing Teague on leave. He would not say whether Teague’s leave is paid or how long it is expected to continue. “In the next weeks and months, Village Council and I will be reviewing the fi ndings in the report and implementing the appropriate changes to bring our department up to the standards that our residents deserve,” Noble said in an emailed statement. Images of the June protest and counterprotest in Bethel quickly went viral on social media. National news outlets picked up the story and tiny Bethel briefl y became a focal point of the unrest that swept the country in the wake of George Floyd’s death at the hands of police in Minneapolis. Counterprotesters in Bethel poured into the village after sharing rumors online about large numbers of Black Lives Matter protesters arriving on buses to participate in the rally. That didn’t hap-

on the part of the students is a total game-changer.” His students are already in the midst of creating custom toys for a boy with low mobility, Leeper said. The toys are designed to encourage the child to move and build up his muscles. Once Kathryn is off to Turks and Caicos Islands with her new custom-made mask, the students will take on another project. Leeper says they are meeting with another family soon. The projects are diff erent every year, Leeper said, but the goal is the same: to help people. “When (the students) meet the children that we help, they just fall in love,” he said. Milford’s 200-student engineering program was started 11 years ago with just a handful of students, Leeper said. Now, 10% of the high school is in the program, provided through Great Oaks Career Campuse
A St. Ursula Academy graduate and ‘Project Runway’ alum is the Taft Museum of Art’s 2021 Duncanson artist-inresidence. Couture designer Asha Ama Bias-Daniels will lead public programs, teach workshops, and visit schools across Greater Cincinnati for two weeks, April 12-26, according to the museum’s Facebook page. For an early sneak peek, Taft guests can see examples of her work alongside the museum’s upcoming exhibition, “Walk This Way | The Stuart Weitzman Collection of Historic Shoes” starting Feb. 27. After graduating as a FISC (Fund for Independent Schools, Cincinnati) Scholar from St. Ursula Academy, she went on to study as a Cincinnatus Scholar at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning, graduating magna cum laude with a degree in fashion design.
Bias-Daniels was the fi rst Cincinnati designer selected to compete in a show in the Project Runway franchise and was a fi nalist on “Project Runway: Under the Gunn.” She was also invited back to compete on the hit show “Project Runway All Stars.” Bias-Daniels has created pieces for a diverse range of artists, from Zendaya to Little Big Town. Bias-Daniels founded the mentorship program Created to Create, in which she teaches fashion design to Black underprivileged teenage girls in Cincinnati. As a designer, Bias-Daniels has experience in men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing, as well as lingerie, swimwear, embroidery, draping, knitting, and tailoring. The Robert S. Duncanson Society was founded in 1986 by Doris Rankin Sells, William Joel McCray, and Ruth K. Meyer. Past winners include fi lmmaker Ya’Ke Smith and poet Nikki Giovanni.

pen, but the counterprotesters showed up by the hundreds anyway. At the time, counterprotesters said they feared outsiders would “take over” Bethel, a small, predominantly white rural community about 30 miles east of Cincinnati. The audit concluded that Teague and his offi cers failed to adequately prepare for the event, even though they’d received intelligence reports about the counterprotesters and about possible trouble at least a day in advance. Teague, who could not immediately be reached for comment, acknowledged he should have responded more aggressively when large numbers of people on motorcycles started showing up a few hours before the rally, the audit states. The chief did seek help from Clermont County’s SWAT unit, the audit says, but the SWAT team was diverted to another call shortly before the rally. The audit also faults Bethel police for stationing too many offi cers at the pe-

rimeter of the event instead of among the protesters and counterprotesters. If more offi cers had been in the thick of it, the audit says, they would have been better positioned to prevent confrontations and violence. The audit said the early warnings of potential violence and of large crowds should have prompted Teague to seek help from other outside police departments. A day after the incident, Teague, who took over as chief in 2019, told The Enquirer most interactions between protesters and counterprotesters were peaceful, despite some of the ugly images circulating on social media. “We welcome all of them, as long as they’re peaceful,” he said at the time. The audit also found signifi cant problems with oversight, management and training at the Bethel Police Department. Hughes said the evidence room is not secured, offi ces are too small, training is lax and staffi ng is inadequate.
Hughes also described Teague’s personality as “abrasive” and his leadership style as “my way or the highway.” The audit describes several examples of what Hughes considers a lack of training or failures to follow policy. In one, he said, Teague inadvertently shocked a suspect and a deputy sheriff when he used his Taser during a confrontation during the Black Lives Matter protest. In another incident, the audit states, three diff erent offi cers fi red as many as seven shots from handguns and shotguns into a cow that had got loose in October from a local career training center and was wandering near a highway. Only the fi nal shot proved fatal, the audit says, and the wounded cow struggled for about 30 minutes before dying. “Recent events have brought the defi ciencies to the forefront,” Hughes wrote in his audit. “Without signifi cantly more resources and a leadership focus, the department – and community – may continue to suff er.”

‘Not all chops are the same’: Learn the basics with easy, versatile pork schnitzel Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist
Have you ever stood in the pork chop section at the grocery and wondered what the diff erence was between the cuts? I’m here to tell you not all chops are the same. They can be really tender, quick cooking and mild in fl avor. Or they can be tougher yet more fl avorful and require longer cooking time. Here’s a quick primer on popular chops. Check out my site for photos. First, pork chops all come from the loin, which runs from the hip to the shoulder. That’s also the place where tenderloin is. Except for shoulder/ blade chops, I like to buy a thicker chop. Shoulder or blade chops These have dark colored meat, good amounts of fat and connective tissues and some bone. Blade chops have lots of fl avor but are tough. Cook slowly with moist heat, like a braise. Good for the slow cooker. Rib chops Sometimes called center cut rib, there’s a bone running along one side and some fat. The bone attached is actually a baby back rib. Tender and lean, rib chops are mild fl avored. Quick cooking is best. Loin chops Sometimes called center loin, top loin or loin chop. Some will have a T-shaped bone that has loin on one side and tenderloin on the other. Very lean with mild fl avor, loin chops cook at diff erent rates. Quick cooking is best. Sirloin chops Higher percentage of bone than other chops with really good fl avor but tough unless braised. Boneless chops Basically top loin or rib chops with bones removed. Lean with very little connective tissue or fat. No bones means mild fl avor, less than the others. Cook quick for best results. Brining Not really necessary but produces tender, fl avorful chops. A simple brine is 1/4 cup salt to 1 quart water. Put chops in brine and let sit 30 minutes or up to a couple of hours before cooking. Temperature No higher than 145. Pork might be a bit pink but that’s OK. Chops continue to raise in temperature a bit after cooking. Now that you know basics, how about a yummy pork schnitzel to make for supper?

bit more salt and pepper
Schnitzel is German for cutlet.
Lemon wedges (optional but good)
I used boneless chops this time. Pork tenderloin is yummy too, cut into largish slices, a good half inch. Or even other chops if that’s all you have.
Instructions Pound pork if necessary to make equal thicknesses. Whisk eggs and cream in shallow dish.
See how versatile this recipe is?
Place flour in shallow dish.
Ingredients 4 thick boneless pork chops, other chops or pork tenderloin (see tip above), seasoned both sides with salt and pepper
Place crumbs in shallow dish. Dredge pork in flour, shake off excess, then in egg mixture, and fi nally in crumbs. Fry in pan, medium heat, with olive oil and butter - a couple or more tablespoons each.
Flour 2 eggs 2 cups breadcrumbs - I used Panko
When golden on one side, flip and cook on other until temperature reaches 140-145. Don’t overcook or meat will be dry and tough.
Couple shakes of poultry seasoning to taste or just a
Serve with lemon.
⁄ 3cup whipping cream, half & half or evaporated milk

Man sentenced to prison in Clermont County offi cer-involved shooting Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Jerry Martin Smith said in court Jan. 26 that he had no hard feelings against a Clermont County Sheriff 's deputy who shot him four times, nearly killing him last spring. The offi cer-involved shooting on March 28, 2020, started with a 911 call that an unidentifi ed man with a gun came to a residence in the 3400 block of Sodom Road making threats. The 911 caller admitted at trial that he saw no gun on Smith before making the call. At the Jan. 26 sentencing, the 41year-old Smith blamed the judge in the case, prosecuting attorneys, witnesses, jailers, police, and all of Clermont County of being biased from the start against him since the case involved police.
Common Pleas Court of Clermont County Judge Victor Haddad sentenced Smith to 18 months in prison including time already served on a jury's fourthdegree assault conviction. He was acquitted on an aggravated robbery charge. Prior to sentencing, Haddad engaged in a nearly two-hour verbal exchange with Smith and the man's girlfriend about evidence admitted in court and details of the case. Haddad said he was trying to get Smith to take ownership of the fact that 12 jurors, who nobody knew before the trial, had found him guilty based on the evidence. The judge never found the contrition he sought from Smith. "You are the most unrepentant person I have ever met in my judicial career," Haddad said at one point.
The judge said two witnesses testifi ed at trial that Smith charged Deputy Carly Gebhardt twice and then grabbed her arm. Smith said he had his arms raised as he approached the deputy with a gun pointed at him. Smith said he blamed the man who called 911 since the deputy was told there was a man with a gun. The judge said the 911 caller admitted in court that he saw no gun on Smith. Prosecuting attorney Robert Barbato said Smith was under the infl uence of methamphetamine at the time of the shooting. "He went after that deputy," Barbato said. "It was an attack on that deputy, it was an attack on law enforcement." Smith and his attorney promised to fi le an appeal. Smith also faces an extradition warrant to appear in Pinellas County, Florida court.
Defense attorney Alex Deardorff said Smith had been kept in solitary confi nement, with little human contact after being taken from hospital to the jail on April 26, 2020. Smith claimed he was beaten by jail workers twice. "I don't care what you guys do to me," Smith said as he listed multiple grievances. Haddad interrupted Smith's fi nal statement as he accused the court of being biased and currying favor with offi cers in the court. At that point, Haddad told Smith that he needed to be medicated if he thought he was going to talk to him that way in court. "He's calling people out that he just doesn't know, and I fi nd that off ensive," Haddad said of Smith.
Clermont GOP takes swipe at DeWine, urges no endorsement in 2022 primary Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
If there’s a Republican challenger to Gov. Mike DeWine in 2022, Republicans in Clermont County don’t want the state party to get involved. The Clermont County Republican Party Central Committee on Jan. 20 passed a resolution asking the Ohio Republican Party to not endorse in the 2022 Primary. In the resolution, “the Clermont County Republican Party calls on the Ohio Republican Party and Chair Timken to support and defend a free and open Republican Primary for all offi ces that puts voters and their county party fi rst, not Columbus insiders, fi rst.” DeWine and Terrace Park Republican Sen. Rob Portman and other statewide constitutional offi cers are up for reelection. DeWine was singled out for criticism from supporters of the resolution, a group that included former State. Rep. John Becker. “Governor DeWine has fl agrantly and repeatedly violated the U.S. Constitution, the Ohio Constitution, and civil rights,” Becker said in a statement. “He has lockstep support from the Democrats for a reason. He’s the most liberal governor we’ve had in recent history and must be defeated by any legal means necessary.”
‘These people are hotheads’ Not all Clermont County Republicans support the sentiment, including party chairman Greg Simpson, who voted against the resolution. “He has a diffi cult job in a diffi cult situation, “ Simpson said about DeWine. “I think he’s done a great job.” The split shows the divisions now in

the Republican Party. Simpson off ered particular vitriol for the original author of the resolution, Clermont County Republican Chris Hicks, who Simpson said is bitter about not receiving the party’s endorsement in previous races. “You can’t have a local party tell a state party what to do,” Simpson said. “These people are hotheads, always against the governor.” Hicks responded that Simpson and party leadership in Clermont County is out of touch.
“They’re defenders of Mike DeWine when the rank-and-fi le committee is not,” Hicks said. “The resolution is not that we’ve got to get DeWine. It’s that we should have a fair primary where challengers can come forward to challenge DeWine and other statewide candidates.”
State party chair: ‘Exactly what Democrats want’ Hicks said his resolution passed with

39 votes out of 53 central committee people who attended (11 voted against and three didn’t vote.) DeWine’s offi ce declined to comment. Ohio GOP Chairwoman Jane Timken said she supports DeWine’s re-election and warned against resolutions like those passed in Clermont County. “We appreciate the opinion of the Clermont County GOP, however, this type of division is exactly what Democrats want,” Timken said in a statement sent to The Enquirer. “As it has in the past, the state central committee will consider endorsements at the appropriate time. I strongly support Governor DeWine for re-election.” Timken, in a Jan. 15 meeting of the Ohio GOP Central Committee, said the party must back DeWine and other Republican incumbents in 2022. “In 2022, Ohioans need to re-elect Gov. DeWine so that we can continue to grow the state’s economy, and he will protect Ohio’s values, the right to bear arms and the unborn,” Timken said at the meeting. “Sen. Portman and all the other fi ve statewide candidates will face the ballot box as well. We must stand with the Republican incumbents as they continue their public service.” Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Jan. 22.

Deadline to nominate volunteers for Jeff erson Award is Feb. 12 The Enquirer
If you have heard of or witnessed the selfl essness of a community member, neighbor or friend, it's time to shine a light on their eff orts. You can now nominate outstanding volunteers in Greater Cincinnati for the Jeff erson Award for Public Service. Nominations are accepted from anyone in the community. Deadline is Friday, Feb. 12, 2021. Three fi nalists will be selected. Go to www.cincinnati.com/jeff ersonawards to fi ll out an application. Bob Herzog of Local 12 will present the Jeff erson Award at the weekly Rotary luncheon, scheduled for noon Thursday, March 25, in the Hilton Netherland Hall of Mirrors downtown. Local 12 and The Enquirer are media sponsors. “While this year has been challenging, it has also brought out the best in people in our community,” said Bill Shula, Jeff erson Award Committee Chair. “We’re excited to be able to highlight some of the great volunteerism and meaningful contributions of people who are doing amazing things.” Local software entrepreneur Craig Young, founder and director of Inspiring
Service which locally operates as Cincinnati Cares, was honored last February as Cincinnati’s winner. Young was cited for his philanthropy, volunteerism and creating of innovative solutions to empower regional organizations. The award is from the Rotary Club of Cincinnati and the American Institute of Public Service. The winner goes to Washington, D.C., in June to represent the region for the national award. The local winner has won the national honor eight times. This is the 16th year the Rotary Club of Cincinnati has coordinated the award. It is one of the organization's community service programs. The club recognizes people who have created programs that serve unmet needs or volunteers who provide special services to organizations. The award was created in 1972 by a Cincinnati native, then-U.S. Senator Robert Taft, and former fi rst lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. It is presented annually to recipients in more than 90 cities in the United States. It honors community members for outstanding volunteerism and who exemplify the Rotary motto: Service above self.
Craig Young's passion for philanthropy, volunteerism and empowering generations and regional organizations helped him earn the 2020 Jefferson Award for Public Service in Greater Cincinnati on Thursday. COURTESY OF CINCINNATI CARES

SPORTS Anderson grad whom UC’s football team adopted dies from seizure Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
ANDERSON TOWNSHIP - A young man who was adopted by the University of Cincinnati’s football team during the Brian Kelly era has died after having a seizure, according to a Facebook post by his mother. Mitch Stone, 23, battled brain cancer starting as a fi fth-grader at Maddux before he entered Nagel Middle School. After being taken in by Kelly’s Bearcats, he became a fi xture around the team. His mother, Dee Stone, helped create a foundation to help others like Mitch who might be deprived of activities due to illness. Mitch Stone was diagnosed in February 2009 with Mitch’s Mission beginning not long after. Later, Mitch Stone continued to be active in the mission as part of several “Playdates with the Bearcats,” which raised money to send kids to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Summer Camp. Dee Stone posted this news on her Facebook page Jan. 22: See MITCH, Page 2B

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Jan. 27. Most high school basketball recaps include the fi nal score and which player lit the scoreboard up for the most points. They may actually include the number of 3-pointers the individual made, their free throws and their shooting percentage. All are commendable talents necessary to win a game. However, other intricacies of the game can get overlooked. For instance, a solid pick or screen allowing a player to score is not recorded, much like football off ensive linemen aren't given offi cial recognition of a block leading to a touchdown. But, there are a few categories that tell the rest of the story of the game. Without an assist, a player can't score unless they dribbled the length of the fl oor themselves. A defensive rebound is necessary to retrieve the ball and an off ensive rebound keeps it in play. A blocked shot prevents the opposition from scoring and can give a team the ball back. And, a steal may sound dastardly, but it again gives your team possession of the ball enabling someone to possibly chuck it in the hole. The following are some of your top doers of "dirty work" in boys and girls Greater Cincinnati hoops (statistics as of Jan. 25 based on fi ve or more games):
Glass Cleaners (top rebounders) John Riley, Miami Valley Christian Academy - The Lions have struggled in the Miami Valley Conference, but the 6foot-2 forward is averaging 13.7 re-

bounds per game. Isaiah Walker, Wyoming - The 6foot-6 forward is committed to Belmont and is a top scorer. He's also the top rebounder in the Cincinnati Hills League with 11.6 per game. Gi'Marrion Jones, Cincinnati College Prep Academy - CCPA has been ranked in the top 10 among Ohio Division IV schools and 6-foot-4 Jones tops Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference rebounders with 11.5 per game. Myke Godby, Reading - Right behind Isaiah Walker in the CHL is 6-foot-6 Reading center Godby averaging 11.4 caroms per contest. Jaden Jeff erson, North College Hill - The Trojans are second in the Miami Valley Conference-Scarlet Division with guard Jeff erson helping his squad with 11 rebounds per game.
Windex Women Melody Arnett, Miami Valley Christian Academy - MVCA also has the top rebounder in local girls hoops with 6foot-4 Arnett averaging 17.9 per game. Teliyah Dickerson, Withrow - In their fi rst season back in the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference, the 6-foot Dickerson grabs 16.5 rebounds per game. Kylee Fears, Talawanda - The 6foot-1 sophomore leads the Southwest Ohio Conference with 13.9 rebounds per game. Alli Stolz, Bethel-Tate - At 6-foot-1, senior Stolz averages 13.3 rebounds for the Lady Tigers topping the Southern Buckeye Conference. Lalia Christmon, Gamble Montessori - The senior forward is a doubledouble machine for the Gators and averages 12.8 rebounds per game.
Sophia Huff man, Wilmington Sophomore guard Huff man averages 5.7 assists per game to lead the Southern Buckeye Conference. Julia Keith, New Richmond - The 5foot-10 forward averages 5 assists per game. K.K. Bransford, Mount Notre Dame - The 5-foot-9 junior forward has an allaround game for the undefeated Cougars, leading the league in scoring, steals and assists. Bransford dishes 5 per game. Paige Fisher, Williamsburg - The 5foot-10 senior forward does a little bit of everything as well for Williamsburg, including handing out 4.5 assists per game. Ja'Riyah Burnett, Taft - The sophomore guard also averages 4.5 assists per game to share the lead with Withrow junior Dasani Morrow in the CMAC.
Dude Droppers Jackson Miller, Western Brown The junior guard leads the SBAAC with 6 assists per game.

With the 2020 spring sports seasons canceled, thoughts turned to how the coronavirus pandemic would aff ect fall sports and, more specifi cally, football. Here are 10 notable accomplishments of this past fall despite an unpredictable pandemic playbook.
host the state championships with standard Ohio limited seating of 1,500 or 15% of the venue not counting players, staff , cheerleaders and band. That worked for the Division I game won by St. Xavier, then increased pandemic numbers in Columbus forced movement of the other title games to Massillon's Tiger Stadium. Through all of the pivots and pauses, seven division champions raised a trophy.
Ramsey catching one and running in three others. Highly-touted Gi'Bran Payne would have his best game as injuries limited his 2020 season. In the opener, Payne scored on two passes and two runs, the last coming in the second overtime. Branam, who passed for three touchdowns and ran for two, ran in the two-point conversion and La Salle escaped with a dramatic 53-52 doubleovertime thriller of an opening win.
mind of its own and top defender Booker came away positive. To his credit, he was upfront and honest and fortunately minus many the symptoms. He openly agreed to be interviewed, recovered and helped Winton Woods to a 9-1 season. Booker committed to play at Maryland with his older brother "Tank" Booker in late July shortly after recovering. The younger Booker was voted First-Team All-State by both coaches and media.
1. St. Xavier Bombers
3. Wyoming Cowboys
9) Playing out the string pays off
Coach Steve Specht lost the Greater Catholic League-South's top passer in Matthew Rueve (Boston College), the team's top rusher in Kellen Newman (Butler), and their reception leader in Marshall Lang (Northwestern) from a 9-3 regional fi nalist. In July, they had to shut down for two weeks as numerous Bombers tested positive for the virus. The Bombers came back with a quarterback who hadn't taken a varsity snap with junior Brogan McCaughey under center. McCaughey went on to make AllOhio First Team in voting by coaches and media along with Division I Off ensive Player of the Year, Penn Statebound Liam Cliff ord. St. Xavier lost just two games to Brownsburg and Cathedral, both of Indiana. At 2-2, they reeled off eight straight wins, including two played with Ryan Nolan at quarterback while McCaughey was injured. McCaughey and Cliff ord set records, Jalen Patterson had four fi rst-quarter touchdown receptions in the championship and the Bombers defense held a high-scoring Pickerington Central down in a 44-3 domination of a title game.
Aaron Hancock's Cowboys were 2018 Division IV state champions and state semifi nalists in 2019 with Ohio Mr. Football Evan Prater (Cincinnati Bearcats) at quarterback. The Cowboys were one of the fi rst squads back on the fi eld once non-contact work was permitted. Tradition didn't graduate off Pendery Avenue as Brennan Pagan stepped up and led Wyoming to their fi fth straight perfect Cincinnati Hills League record. Then, he pulled a rabbit out of his hat with Joop Mitchell leading Wyoming to a double-overtime regional semifi nal win over Germantown Valley View on Halloween. The magic continued again with a win over then-No. 1 Clinton-Massie and lasted until the state semifi nal when Van Wert edged the Cowboys 28-20 for their fi rst loss of the season. .

2. The OHSAA The Ohio High School Athletic Association tried to continue the winter season without fans, then eventually had to relent to ending the winter sports campaign. From there, they attempted to save the spring with many worrying about the fate of fall football. Minus ticket revenue and state championship program sales, the OHSAA took a major hit in revenue. Eventually, the pandemic politics took its toll on OHSAA leadership and the OHSAA's Board of Directors voted out then-commissioner Jerry Snodgrass. Under new leadership and tight guidelines from Gov. Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Health, football took shape quickly in August with new confi gurations. They shortened the regular season and followed it with a voluntary playoff seeding system. They didn't use "neutral" stadiums until the regional level. Fortress Obetz in Columbus was selected to

Get That Outta Here! (blocked shot leaders) Drew Novak, Western Brown - A 6foot-5 sophomore, Novak leads the SBAAC in rebounding and also in blocks averaging 3.9 per game. Elijah Cathey and Izaiah Cathey, Oyler - The Catheys earn double billing with Elijah topping the CMAC in blocks with 4.1 per game and Izaiah right behind him at 3.4. Keliese Frye, Woodward - The 6foot-6 junior is right behind the Catheys in the CMAC averaging 3 blocks per contest.

We are heartbroken to lose our dear son, but grateful that in his short time spent here on earth he impacted so many. Most of you know his story, and it is well summarized in the article below. To add to that, Mitch graduated with a business degree from his beloved University of Cincinnati this past May. Most recently, he was living at home and rehabbing a house that he purchased with his twin brother, Nick. He was also learning the family optical business and had plans to open a store in Clifton so he could be close to two of
4. Beechwood Tigers The KHSAA delayed the football season until Sept. 11 with Ohio schools having a three-game edge. Then, the postseason was delayed a week in November. Coach Noel Rash's Tigers fi nished with four straight postseason wins and took their 15th Kentucky state title, They dramatically blocked a PAT to win the Class 2A crown on Dec. 11. Senior quarterback Cameron Hergott was recognized for his stellar season of running and passing as Kentucky coaches voted him their Mr. Football.
5. La Salle at Elder, Aug. 28 After a long summer of precaution and preparation, Elder's fabled Pit played host to the defending Division II champion Lancers (at the time). The Panthers had knocked off La Salle in 2019 when they were making their own Division I run to a state title game. In the fi rst offi cial game back, The Pit was sectioned off and fans were limited in a game that traditionally would attract a packed house in Price Hill. Elder went with Ben Hambleton at quarterback with Drew Ramsey as an all-purpose weapon. La Salle had Zach Branam back. None would disappoint. Hambleton threw for three scores, with
Though the game did not count, it was a dress rehearsal for players, coaches, fans and media with new COVID-19 protocols. The scene: Socially distanced water bottles, masks required for those not playing, fans directed to sit in pods and two coaches who truly get along. St. Xavier's Specht and Tom Bolden of Lakota West even did a post-game interview together. Before the game, Bolden took the microphone after the anthem and urged those in attendance to make it all work for the sake of the kids. St. Xavier would get out to a 17-0 lead with top receiver Liam Cliff ord not playing. Though there were liberal substitutions in the second half, the Firebirds came back to win 2817. A little over two months later, the Bombers won for real in the Division I regional fi nal 10-7 on a McCaughey-toCliff ord touchdown pass with 27 seconds remaining.
7. Winton Woods at Edgewood, Aug. 28 In a twist of COVID-19 scheduling that became familiar, both Winton Woods and Edgewood had games canceled due to the virus Aug. 27. Kings wasn't able to play Winton Woods due to positive tests. Likewise, Fenwick couldn't play their game against Edgewood. In the sheer interest of getting a game in, Winton Woods agreed to go to Edgewood on a day's notice where they won 34-0. They met again in the second round of the playoff s with the Warriors also winning 34-6.
8. Andrew 'Bam' Booker of Winton Woods In June, attending a Winton Woods practice meant following strict guidelines. No one was allowed in without a temperature check and a mask. Where some schools weren't as insistent on masks (in June, the jury was still out on consistent use), the Warriors staff and players enforced the rule as they were hoping for a Division II title run. Despite how careful they were, the virus had a
Sage Tolentino, Hamilton - The 7foot junior transfer from Hawaii is a top rim protector averaging 2.8 blocks per game. A.J. Braun, Fenwick - At 6-foot-10, Braun is a top pivot in the GCL-Coed leading in rebounding and blocking 2.6 shots per game.
tion for turning away 3.5 shots per game. Callie Hunt, Edgewood - The 6foot-1 senior tops the Cougars and the Southwest Ohio Conference with 3.3 blocks per game.
Damsels That Deny Deborah Davenport, Woodward The 6-foot-2 junior swats away 6.5 shots per game leading the CMAC. Paige Fisher, Williamsburg - Fisher earns another mention with 3.9 blocks a game. Bryana Woodard, Summit Country Day - The 5-foot-11 senior forward rejects 3.6 shots per game. Teliyah Dickerson, Withrow - Likewise, Dickerson earns another distinc-
Peyton Shafer, Goshen - Freshman guard Shafer top the SBAAC averaging 5.5 steals per game. Kiylah Smoot, CHCA - The sophomore forward averages 5.5 steals per contest to lead the Miami Valley Conference. Terryn Saunders, Hughes - Also a freshman, Saunders averages 5 steals per game to lead the CMAC. Destiny Rice, Norwood - The junior guard averages 5 steals a game. Madison Flischel, Western Brown -
his favorite places: UC and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. Mitch had a long road with his cancer diagnosis at the age of 11, but he came out the other side healthy and fi t. Three years ago he began having seizures; he took medicine for them, but it was ultimately a seizure that caused his death. We are extremely grateful for the extra 12 years we were able to spend with him. Mitch was a truly good and caring person--everybody liked him. He always took the time to listen and appreciated a well-told story and a good laugh. He loved UC football, collecting weird things, thrift shopping, running, hiking & camping, spending time with his sisters, Paisley and Piper, and his many, many friends.
He will be in our hearts forever. We are grateful for your prayers and support. Much love, Dee and Anthony At Anderson High School, Mitch Stone was an active member of the cross country and track team. He had the ninth-best time in the Eastern Cincinnati Conference during the fall 2015 cross country season at 16:47, while his twin brother, Nick, led the league at 16:19. Both were voted ECC First Team. They also were top runners for Andy Wolf ’s Anderson track team in the distance events. Among those who posted their thoughts about Mitch Stone via Twitter was former Bearcat quarterback Tony Pike who led UC teams to the Orange
Pickpockets (steal leaders)
A unique provision of 2020 football in Ohio was that a team could continue to play a schedule even after they were eliminated from the playoff s. This was to off set the shortened six-game season and allow players a full experience, particularly seniors. Several schools and players benefi ted, including Hamilton. Rather than fi nish 3-4 after a postseason loss to Moeller, Big Blue coach Nate Mahon picked up three road games at Sycamore, at Central Crossing and at West Clermont. The result was versatile Malik Verdon picked up an off er and was signed by Iowa State of the Big 12 as a safety. Fairfi eld also continued to play after a disappointing near-miss upset attempt against Elder 42-39. For the love of the game, the Indians lost to a tough Centerville squad. They were able to end on a positive with a 46-22 win over Dayton Dunbar. It allowed Jaydan Mayes to surpass 1,000 yards rushing and eventually sign with Army. Walnut Hills had one of their more talent-laden rosters but was kept under wraps by the stringent guidelines of the Cincinnati Public School district. Despite numerous protests, the CPS didn't allow competition until late September, so the Eagles had just three games before having to face eventual DI champion St. Xavier in the playoff s. Despite another COVID cancellation against Aiken, Walnut Hills fi t three more games in and saw lineman Mao Glynn sign with Cincinnati, receiver Nick Presley with Ball State and lineman Hank Perry with Fordham.
10. Beginnings and endings Kings had their opener canceled due to the virus and had to wait until Sept. 5 to open at Anderson. The Knights made the most of it winning 70-34 with senior tailback Ty Stylski running for 234 yards with six touchdowns. Stylski wasn't done as he scored four more against Middletown the next week and six more against Lebanon on Sept. 18 making for 16 endzone trips in three games.
The 5-foot-3 senior averages 4.8 swipes per game.
Boys borrowing the ball Liyon Taylor, Riverview East - The freshman has 4.7 steals per game topping the CMAC. Dylan Britten, Taft - The 5-foot-7 senior averages 4.1 steals per game for the Senators. Jabari Covington, Cincinnati College Prep - The freshman earns another honor with 3.6 steals per game. Jackson Miller, Western Brown Miller also gets another mention averaging 3.5 steals. Antonio Fitzgerald, Cincinnati College Prep - The 5-foot-8 backcourt mate of Covington at CCPA averages 3.4 steals per game.
and Sugar Bowls. “This one is too tough,” Pike wrote. “Mitch Stone meant so much to me and the 09 team ... changing lives forever! Fighting, and beating cancer, with a smile the whole time! Accomplished so much and was just starting! My thoughts are with the whole family!” The University of Cincinnati Athletics Twitter account also posted a tribute to Mitch, saying “he loved the Bearcats and was lost far too soon”. Mitch Stone was a 2016 Anderson High graduate and a 2020 graduate of his beloved University of Cincinnati.

COMMUNITY NEWS Officer Tim Wilmes to retire after 31 years at Loveland Police Department “It’s hard to walk away. Few people can say they did their dream job in the town they love,” said Offi cer Timothy Wilmes. Wilmes will retire Feb. 5 from the Loveland Police Department (LPD), where he has served the community for nearly 31 years. He is the longest serving LPD employee. Known for his love of his family, Christmas and his 2011 LPD-issued Crown Victoria, many in the community – even those he may have arrested – regard Wilmes as an all-around nice guy. He is the constant “good cop” whether you are in a time of need or just bumping into him around town. When many see his Crown Vic driving down the road, they can’t help but smile. “I have made so many contacts as a police offi cer, and the people are great,” he said. “This is a great town, and I’ve been blessed to work in the town I grew up.” Born and raised in Loveland, Ohio, Wilmes attended Loveland City Schools and then enrolled in Scarlet Oaks Career Campus’ law enforcement program. He then moved on to Eastern Kentucky University and the University of Cincinnati, where he earned his bachelor’s degree. “I knew since age 5 I wanted to be a police offi cer. I was the kid pulling over bikes in our subdivision,” he joked. “By nature, I am a quiet person, but when I put on this uniform, I am ready to perform my role and give everyone my best.” Prior to joining the LPD force in 1990, he worked at a dispatch center in Hamilton County and for Xavier University’s campus police.
A multi-tasker Wilmes describes himself as a multi-tasker and problem solver. These skills have served him in the management of LPD’s fl eet operations. Appointed to this task by former Police Chief Dennis Rees, he has managed LPD’s fl eet for 25 years. A position that once managed six vehicles has grown to oversee 17 vehicles. In this role, Wilmes has been responsible for upfi tting department vehicles with needed equipment like lights and sirens, as well as handling vehicle maintenance. He has developed relationships with multiple vendors and even attended yearly police fl eet tradeshows held across the country. Keeping other offi cers’ best interest in mind, he started the procedure of assigning vehicles to offi cers. This has aided LPD in keeping maintenance costs to a minimum and helped to avoid “hotseating,” the practice of a car being constantly driven through multiple shifts. “I have a system. I want each offi cer to be comfortable and familiar with their own vehicle. A police offi cer’s car should fi t like a glove, and offi cers should be comfortable knowing a car’s capabilities. If a vehicle does need maintenance, I will set that offi cer up with a similar truck or car to drive,” he said. Wilmes’ partner Lieutenant Amy Campbell vouches for his commitment to improving operations: “Tim’s passion is to keep things moving smoothly. For instance, with a traffi c situation, he is always trying to fi gure out how to open traffi c while keeping workers safe. His big thing is always protecting the safety of the people around him.”
A relationship builder As evidenced from the fl eet management relationships he has built with vendors, Wilmes strongly be-

lieves in building relationships with everyone he meets. One partnership he has helped to build is between the LPD and St. Columban School in Loveland. He was the school’s self-proclaimed School Resource Offi cer (SRO) before one was offi cially appointed. While on and off duty, he would often visit his three children on their lunch break and then spend time visiting with other students in the lunchroom. With the support of the school’s principal, he helped to establish safety drills, active shooter training, and emergency response protocol with the staff . “The kids were already used to seeing a police offi cer at school because of me, so it was a natural transition when Offi cer [Jake] Steinkoenig was assigned to the school,” he explained. “I’m very passionate about students’ safety and I am pleased there is now an offi cial SRO.”
Farewell So what’s next for Wilmes? He admits he isn’t sure what retirement looks like quite yet. “A good friend told me you have to have a purpose in retirement. I’m looking for a purpose,” he explained. “But I do want to be bored for a little while! Maybe travel in the future.” He is a devoted husband and busy father of three high school-aged children. In fact, he has passed his legacy of service to his children, who are interested in serving one day through the military, fi re service, and police service. “It’s a blast being a dad. I wish I hadn’t waited so long. It’s been adventurous,” he refl ected. Since announcing his retirement in December, Wilmes says he has been touched by the outpouring of messages from community members. “I think God sends people to you for a reason. A lot of our job is non-police work – wearing a social worker hat, cop hat, fi refi ghter hat. People need help, and they call you. On every run, I know I’ve done everything I can to help keep the person alive. I try to protect people from themselves,” he said. “I can honestly say I’ve done everything I can for the people I’ve served. You see good and you see bad, but being a police offi cer is great.” Wilmes’ fi nal day of service is Feb. 5. He will be honored at the Loveland City Council meeting on Feb. 9 (7 p.m. at City Hall). LPD is currently planning a retire-
ment celebration with details to be released. To learn more about the City of Loveland’s Police Department, please visit https://www.lovelandoh.gov/189/Police. Krista Rose, City of Loveland

Suicide in 2020 at or near 5-year low in Cincinnati region despite pandemic Anne Saker
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Even with the stress of the pandemic, suicide counts in 2020 in fi ve local counties were at or near fi ve-year lows, Experts say the results from Boone, Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren counties could be due to more state resources for suicide prevention and stepped-up telemedicine for mental health care. Yearly suicide counts are an imprecise measure of the region’s mental health, and professionals have worried about the pandemic making mental health problems worse, including suicide. In Mason last year, 15 students were hospitalized for suicidal thoughts, and the school superintendent pleaded with parents

and children: "Please let us help." Yet last year across the Cincinnati region, the suicide numbers dropped. Experts cautioned against reading too much into that result because many elements contribute to the suicide rate, and the 2020 numbers are within the ranges over time. Still, caregivers say that nearly a year into the pandemic, their clients are tapping into wells of resiliency. “People are beside themselves in the sense of: How do I make change in my life when I’m so limited? Are there things I can do for myself?” said Traci Sippel, a licensed counselor in Hyde Park. “I’ve had a lot of clients asking me for letters to their landlords about getting a pet in their apartments.” “I am just not seeing the high rates of suicidal thinking, let alone suicide attempts,” said Dr. Phil Lichtenstein, medical director at the Children’s Home of Cincinnati. “I’ve been surprised how few have had to go to the emergency room for acute assessment, and how few overall had to be admitted for stabilization.” Children, who see everything, are taking in the pandemic’s widespread economic pain and disruptions, Lichtenstein said. “There’s no question kids are very much aware of the fact that everybody’s suff ering, that they hadn’t been singled out for bad outcomes or bad circumstances.” The Enquirer surveyed the seven counties in the immediate Cincinnati region for their preliminary 2020 suicide counts. Boone County joined Hamilton County in hitting a fi ve-year low for suicide last year. In Butler, Warren and Clermont counties, the 2020 count was lower than 2019. Calls to the coroners in Kenton and Campbell counties were not returned.
More on hand at the start A low suicide count does not mean the society is without stress. In fact, surveys have consistently found more stress among Americans especially among parents and children as the pandemic imposed economic hardship and reshaped school schedules. But the region and the state of Ohio went into the pandemic having already devoted more resources for
mental health care and suicide prevention. Just last February, ahead of the state shutdown, the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services set up a statewide prevention plan with 30 public and private organizations. The goal, Criss said, is to better identify Ohioans considering suicide, especially younger people and military veterans, and to ensure access to care. With the arrival of the pandemic, the department added additional resources. “We knew there would be increased anxiety and depression, just like any natural disaster,” Criss said.
'A big learning' Dr. Michael Sorter is director of the division of child and adolescent psychiatry at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. He said the hospital was busy through 2020 until just before the holidays, and he warned against using the yearly suicide count as a barometer of 2020’s mental health status. But he said the expanded use of telemedicine in mental health care did bring down the number of appointment no-shows. “It’s been a big learning for all of us,” he said. “We’ll fi nd out as we go forward what’s the best balance.” The problems with telemedicine are akin to the problems of virtual schooling, Sorter said. Some children don’t have a device or an internet connection, or their families move around. “Kids are refl ections of what stress their families are under,” he said. “And now, it’s a little more hidden, the families who can’t make ends meet and parents under high stress and unemployment, dealing with their own mental health suff erings because they don’t have the supports they need.” Sorter said he advises that hard as it may be some days, parents and children “when they’re discussing the struggles, to focus on the communication, on being together, on being part of a family, and that things can improve.” If you are considering suicide or are in crisis, the national help line is (800) 273-8255.

Another deer hunting season ending soon Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist
Howdy folks, I read in the Enquirer that Margene Pride has gone on to heaven. She was on the Board of the Old Methodist Church here at East Fork. She was a fi ne lady and always willing to help in any way she could along with her husband. She will be missed. The visitation for Mrs. Pride was on Friday, Jan. 15. The funeral and burial was at the Tate Township Cemetery in Bethel. This was the fi rst time I was ever in the funeral home on the scooter. They have an elevator that I got to use. I talked to Mike at the Afton bait shop and he said deer season is coming to a close. The fi shing is good with big crappie and other kinds of fi sh being caught. The duck and goose hunting is good. The sauger in the Ohio River are being caught with some that are 17 to 18 inches long. The sauger in East Fork are biting good with a musky being caught once in a while. Rabbit hunting is good this year too. Mike said he hasn’t seen any rabbits when he is in deer hunting but has seen a few around his place. I said they probably don’t want the coyotes to get them. When I got up this morning and got
the paper, I could feel fl akes of snow hitting me. We didn’t have much but it was pretty and it didn’t last long. The cold weather still hangs on so I can’t get out on the scooter and ride around as much. I went to church on Sunday and it was snowing and was 33° outside but was nice and warm inside. People keep asking if I have gotten any speeding tickets and of course I say no. The traffi c is so good when I come to crossing the streets they will stop and blow their horn‘s and I wave to them thanking these folks. Some folks blow their horns when I am riding down the sidewalk as well. On Saturday, the Kitchen of Hope brought me a meal. It was good and included a salad, noodles and a nice piece of cake. They served about 70 people in their cars due to the virus. I sure hope all of you are being careful as we don’t want to lose any of you. On Sunday mornings at the Living the Word Church here in Bethel, the fi rst service is at 8:30 a.m. and the second is at 10 a.m. Each service has an opportunity for you to come inside or listen on your radio in your car in the parking lot. I remember, when I was at home and was about 14 or 15 years old, that we had a big snow. The county had to use bulldozers to clean State Route 133 and replace electric poles. We didn’t have any electric for a week, but we heated the house with wood and coal and had
lamps for light. It didn’t make any diff erence to us. When we milked the cows in the cold weather, the cans of milk were kept nice and cold by the outside temperature. When we were young and would go rabbit hunting in the snow, we could track the rabbits easily. The snow was on the ground and roads for several days that year.
My brother and I wanted to go to Blanchester to a movie, but mother said you boys better stay home. Mom said that they had predicted a big snow and by golly they were right and I was glad we listened to mom. Start your week by praying and praising the good Lord. God bless all ... More later ...

Students in the Great Oaks – Batavia High School Business Management program have set an impressive goal to help local Special Olympic athletes. Their Business Professionals of America (BPA) chapter will be participating in the 2021 Polar Plunge. They hope 2021 will be the year they reach the $100,000 mark for total donations to Special Olympics. “The Batavia High School BPA has become an integral part of our annual Polar Plunge festivities. We always look
forward to having the students participate. We know we can count on their volunteers to help the event run smoothly, and they bring incredible energy once the plunging begins. Their commitment to Special Olympics through the Plunge is remarkable, and I can’t imagine the event without them. Through their participation, they’ve raised almost $100,000 for Special Olympics over the past several years – that’s about 4,000 seasons of sports for Special Olympics athletes! We sincerely appreciate their commitment to Special

Olympics, and can’t wait to see them again this year,” said Taylor Ballinger, Development Direct for Special Olympics Kentucky. The team is mostly students; but Batavia Local Schools superintendent and teachers are joining them. A few community leaders have also pledged to take the plunge with the students; including David Gooch from Park National Bank, Heather Frye from the Clermont County Chamber of Commerce, and Dr. Gregory Sojka from UC Clermont. The plunge will take place at Buckhead Mountain Grille in Bellevue, KY on Saturday, Feb. 20. The team’s business teacher and BPA advisor Angie Kovacs said, “at a time when the accountability of our younger generation is sometimes questioned, I am proud that this group is giving so much back to their community.” To help them reach their goal, visit the team fundraising page at http://events.soky.org/goto/bataviabpa2021.

Felicity FFA wins Time Changes Scholarship In October 2020, the Agricultural Business class at Felicity-Franklin High School got the opportunity to participate in a video competition and scholarship being put on by Nashville based country singer Stephanie Nash. The Time Changes Scholarship entailed FFA chapters making a video about what they love about agriculture. The contest is inspired by Nash’s new song
Time Changes about her experiences growing up around and being a supporter of agricultural producers. The contest off ered a monetary scholarship for winning chapters. The class was very interested in this contest and platform to show their passion for agriculture and earn money for their FFA Chapter. They used the prompt, “What do you love about agriculture and FFA?” and made a video as a class showing why each of them love and are passionate about agriculture and why they love being involved in FFA. Felicity-Franklin FFA was selected as one of four winning schools for the Stephanie Nash Times Changes Scholarship in December. These FFA members worked very hard on this project and are excited to share this video with the public. It can be viewed on Felicity-Franklin FFA’s social media platforms (Felicity-Franklin FFA on Facebook and @felicity_ff a on Instagram). Emma Robertson, Felicity-Franklin FFA
Justice Department grant will help CNE train for suicide awareness The foundation of Clermont Northeastern School District’s approach to education continue to solidify, brick by brick, layer upon layer, each integrating with the other to address not only the knowledge component, but also the overall well-being of the student and, by extension, the school community. A grant from the United States Department of Justice is the newest piece in that underpinning. CNE will receive $420,000 over three years to help train staff , students and parents about suicide awareness. The grant will also help study and improve school climate, culture and safety District Dean of Students T.J. Dorsey said the grant will complement CNE’s restorative practices and circles initiatives and fi ts well with the new Mercy Health School Health Center that opened on campus in September. Dorsey, who coordinates various programs under the brand “The Rocket Way,” uses analytics and data to measure the eff ectiveness of each. He said the Department of Justice grant, for which CNE applied under the designation “Stop School Violence,” was a “long shot,” but important to the district mission. “We’re one of the smallest districts in Southwest Ohio to bring a school-based health center to underserved rural areas, our focus is to partner with Mercy Health on many things in the future, but also to use other evidenced based programs to support families,” Dorsey said. “The ‘Signs of Suicide’ program will be one piece used to educate teachers, students, and families on the symptoms and signs of depression, self-harm and suicidal ideation. “The program will also help families destigmatize depression and suicide in rural areas. We are optimistic to increase the amount of support families will have available as well as being more aware of signs of danger.” The Stop Violence Prevention Grant will help enhance the work CNE has put into its PBIS program.

CNE has become a recognized state leader for its Positive Behaviors Intervention and Support Program, which it began six years ago. The PBIS program has led to a reduction in major offi ce referrals, keeping students in the classroom setting with a proactive approach to recognizing and addressing potential discipline problems. “Our staff across the board have embraced the focus on social emotional learning, relationships, and mental health. It’s been really great to see everyone put a lot of emphasis on it and it has become the foundation of ‘The Rocket Way,’ it has become how CNE does business,” Dorsey said. With this grant, 24 staff members will be trained at a high level in restorative practices and the signs of suicide, with the rest of the money spent to oversee implementation. Training will be done in-house, due to current travel restrictions and to help increase capacity. Eventually, all students grades six through 12 will be provided the evidence-based plan alongside the suicide training each year during that time frame. “It ends up being a lot of information and work we’re trying to put in over a 36-month period of time. With the climate and culture the way it is, we want to really make sure we’re not letting kids fall through the crack,” Dorsey said. “We just want to empower our own students to look out for the well-being of everyone else around them,” Dorsey said. “And one thing that is does do is create a much safer school climate when you empower students to say something if they see it. That’s the overall goal that we have.” While the grant specifi cally addresses the challenges of large rural populations, Dorsey said suicide awareness and prevention is a challenge faced by all districts. “I think sometimes there’s a bigger stigma here than other places, but I don’t think it’s defi nitely rural issue vs. an urban issue,” Dorsey said. “If you’re having a hard time you can also fi nd other people who are having a hard time, and that can be either super supportive, but it could also be detrimental depending on how you use your spare time, so with the amount of accessibility that people have to information, sometimes I think it can play a negative role in people’s mental health.” Dick Maloney, Clermont Northeastern Schools
