Military support group:

10 years serving Cincy’s east side Sheila Vilven Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

She wanted to be a supportive military mom.

However, this proved a monumental task for Jerri Meeks.

Her son, Western Brown High School graduate Noah Keith, enlisted in the Army about 15 months ago.

The separation was diffi cult for Meeks.

Last Mother’s Day, her son was deployed to Iraq.

The months waiting for his return to the United States have been long and sleepless, she said.

“I begged my son not to go into the Army,” she said. . . “I try to be that proud military mom. I try to love it, and I just don’t. I don’t.”

Meeks’ story is not unlike those of other parents and spouses of military personnel. If not for Whole in My Heart military family support group, many parents like Meeks would struggle alone.

Whole in My Heart recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. Over the last decade, hundreds of people have gathered at the group’s monthly meetings looking for much-needed comfort, support, and knowledge.

Retired Clermont County Commissioner Bob Proud is a founding member of Whole in My Heart. While he gave up other interests from his days as a politician, he continues with the support group.

Meetings are much like a family reunion. Proud is the family patriarch who leads each gathering.

A Gold Star beginning The inspiration for Whole in My Heart came from a special gathering at a Gold Star Chili restaurant 10 years ago. Proud joined Sue Matson for an appreciaSee SUPPORT, Page 2A

Pivotek bringing 80 jobs to Milford Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A fi rm that makes prefabricated kitchenette and bathroom pods for hospitals, hotels and housing complexes is moving its corporate headquarters to Milford.

Pivotek is leaving West Chester Township for the former 3M Co. property at 910 Lila Ave. in Milford.

Pivotek expects to have 80 employees there by spring, President Kent Hodson said.

Milford lost 135 jobs when the 3M Co. closed at the end of March 2017.

The 123,000-square-foot warehouse and offi ce building that 3M Co. left is one of Milford’s largest, and has been vacant since that company turned off the lights, City Manager Michael Doss said.

The property includes about 11.5 acres of industrially zoned land.

“As Pivotek continues to grow, it is imperative that we continue to attract talent in a very competitive labor environment and we felt the Milford location would give us a greater opportunity to reach new labor markets,” Hodson said.

“In addition, the Lila property, with some minor improvements, could not only fi ll our current needs for space but also gave us some green space with room to grow.”

Milford City Council recently approved economicdevelopment incentives for Pivotek.

The city agreed to credit the company with 50 percent of its withholding taxes on payrolls of at least $1 million for up to fi ve years.

The city also agreed to rebate 100 percent of Milford’s portion of Pivotek's property taxes for fi ve years.

tion dinner for her son, Talon Matson, an Army veteran and recipient of three Purple Hearts. It was over that meal that Proud shared plans to honor veterans during commissioner meetings before and after deployment.

By dinner’s end, after hearing the fears, concerns and even confusion of military parents, Proud fl oated the idea for a support group. The idea stuck.

Whole in My Heart was launched to promote wholeness to families and friends of deployed military personnel, according to Kim Pellington, another founding member.

When the group was founded, Pellington’s son, Matthew Hood, was on his second deployment to Iraq.

Hood, an Army sergeant, is no longer enlisted, Pellington said. She no longer attends Whole in My Heart meetings.

However, she was in attendance at February’s anniversary celebration.

It’s amazing that it’s been 10 years, she said. The group helped her while Hood was deployed.

“We have the most amazing speakers. The most amazing people to just tell us what to expect. How to act.

That’s what basically got us through,” Pellington said.

Guest speakers address topics including PTSD. Group members support one another, and they support each other’s children through care packages.

They also have a friend in Proud who regularly talks with their deployed children or spouses via Facebook Messenger or text.

A soldier’s perspective One of those soldiers, Kevin Long, is now a group member.

Long is a New Richmond high school graduate and University of Cincinnati student who served in the Army for over three years. One of those years was spent in Afghanistan, the remaining time he was part of the honor guard for the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. His parents, Lee and Sherry Long, joined Whole in My Heart almost immediately after he deployed.

“Nobody understands what the family goes through,” Lee Long said. “It’s so much diff erent. The group’s meant a lot.”

While deployed, Kevin Long said he knew his parents were members of Whole in My Heart. That gave him comfort. As a group member, Long said he off ers support by off ering a soldier’s perspective.

After 10 years, Proud and others with Whole in My Heart see no end to their mission. As long as soldiers are deployed, there are people here at home needing support and insight, Proud said. The group meets 7 to 9 p.m. the fi rst Thursday of each month in the Queen City Room of the Union Township administration building in Clermont County. The doors are always open to new members.

Wade Winn, the Clermont County man charged with murdering a sheriff ’s deputy, pleaded not guilty to 14 counts in relation to the Feb. 2 shooting.

Winn, 23, appeared before Judge Anthony Brock at 1 p.m. Feb. 13. Since his fi rst court date, Feb. 4, Winn has been held in the Clermont County Jail on a $10 million bond.

During the Feb. 13 arraignment, Brock ordered Winn be held without bail pending trial, per the request of Clermont County Prosecutor Vince Faris. At the request of Winn's attorney, Ohio Public Defender Greg Meyers, Brock also imposed a gag order in the case.

Winn's next court date is 1 p.m.

Thursday, Feb. 28, for a pretrial conference.

The charges against Winn stem from a 12-hour standoff at Royal Oak Apart-

ments in Clermont County’s Pierce Township. The standoff started the evening of Feb. 2 after Winn called 911 about his home being Wade Winn burglarized. It continued until the morning of Feb. 3.

The sheriff ’s offi ce said Winn was “admittedly suicidal” and had barricaded himself inside his apartment. At some point during the standoff , Winn feigned a suicide, Clermont County Prosecuting Attorney Darren Miller said at the Feb. 4 court date.

The prosecutor said Deputy Bill Brewer and Lt. Nick DeRose entered the apartment. Winn fi red multiple rounds through the walls of his apartment murdering Brewer and attempting to murder DeRose. Brewer's funeral was Feb. 8 with representatives from over 800 police agencies in attendance.

The prosecution said it plans to seek the death penalty.

YOUR HEALTH with Dr. Owens

The Ohio Department of Transportation is studying how to make westbound Ohio 32 near the ramp to northbound Interstate 275 in Union Township safer.

Tips to become a former smoker Changing one behavior — tobacco use — can greatly improve your health, reducing your risk of cancer, heart disease and stroke.

And many of those with this habit would like to stop: Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that nearly 7 in 10 want to quit.

ODOT studying changes at deadly intersection Jeanne Houck

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Motorists near Eastgate Mall soon will see signs warning them to exercise caution near a Union Township intersection that has been the site of fatal crashes.

The Ohio Department of Transportation is studying how to improve safety where a traffi c light stops westbound Ohio 32 motorists approaching the

ramp to northbound Interstate 275.

Possible solutions range from re-timing traffi c signals on westbound Ohio 32 to a $40 million redo with new ramps of Ohio 32 at the I-275 interchange.

In the next week or so, ODOT will mount “signal ahead” signs to warn westbound Ohio 32 motorists approaching the ramp to northbound I-275 that they may encounter traffi c stopped at the intersection.

But a formidable opponent stands in your way: Nicotine, which is highly addictive and perhaps as hard to quit as heroin or cocaine.

It’s important to remember that quitting tobacco is a journey.

If you’ve attempted to quit without success, keep at it.

Some suggestions to improve your odds: • Try different cessation methods. Support groups, counseling and web-based program or apps are just a few of the proven ways to quit. If one doesn’t work for you, try another!

• Consider using nicotine replacement therapy. This small amount of nicotine helps satisfy your craving for nicotine and reduces the urge to use tobacco.

• Look at ways to decrease stress in your life, as well as other things that may trigger you to use tobacco. improve the health of our As Interact for Health looks to impr region, we’re focusing our efforts on reducing tobacco systems and environmenuse.

The donations and partnerships enabled the United Way to provide the federal workers with $100 gift cards to Kroger or Meijer to help off set some of the impact of the shutdown, she said.

The gift cards were passed out at United Way of Greater Cincinnati offi ces throughout the region.

In the Union Township, Clermont County offi ce, where Ghee works, volunteers assisted with passing out the gift cards. Sherri Bowling of Ohio Means

Homemade vinaigrette brightens a salad Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Sometimes what I call “simple country pleasures” happen at the least likely moment. Like today when I took a walk through my patch of woods down to the river. Wild yellow aconite was blooming through the snow. I always smile when I see this fi rst harbinger of spring. Ike Leaf, who was a special friend, scattered seeds on top of the hill years ago. “They’ll self sow,” he said. And they have. Check out my site for photos.

Another bonus was fi nding a tiny clump of onion chives pushing through the soil in the herb garden.

Those went into our supper salad. Since it was so dull and gray outside, I wanted the salad to look colorful.

Leftover raw vegetables to the rescue, along with some hard-boiled eggs and chickpeas. I didn’t put any cheese on top since I wasn’t sure if everyone wanted it.

It’s always a good idea to pass cheese separately if you’re not sure. I think you’ll like the vinaigrette.

Can you help?

Another Busken request: Iced rusk.

Reader Susan P. has been trying to recreate iced rusk from the former Buskens Bakery in Mt. Washington, now Mt. Washington Bakery. I’ve put in calls to both but haven’t received a response. Susan would like a recipe or a source for iced rusk in Cincinnati.

Jelly roll update A Westside reader said she always rolls her jelly rolls on the short side, not the long side as I do. Perfectly OK – you’ll get a shorter, thicker roll.

Another reader sprinkles thinly-sliced strawberries on top of the jam before rolling. Yum.

My weekly batch of vinaigrette for salads

Vinaigrette is great on any green salad.

Perfect for any kind of green salad. This is my latest favorite.

Ingredients

3-4 tablespoons dark balsamic vinegar Up to 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 garlic clove, minced, about 1 teaspoon About 1⁄ 2 cup olive oil Salt and pepper Instructions Whisk vinegar, mustard, and garlic together. Add oil slowly, whisking constantly. Season to taste.

Tips Plain vinegar and oil dressing - which is added fi rst to greens?

The vinegar because, as Cook’s Illustrated explains it, lettuce leaves have a protective waxy cuticle layer that helps keep out water based liquid, like vinegar, but oil easily penetrates it. Vinegar helps blocks oil so your lettuce doesn’t wilt. Add part of the vinegar fi rst, then the oil, then the rest of the vinegar.

Hamilton County Sheriff plans to cut a number of deputies Scott Wartman and Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Offi ce stopped hiring in July but that hasn’t been enough to fi t within budget constraints.

On Thursday, Feb. 7, Hamilton County Sheriff Jim Neil said that he plans to lay off 10 deputies in March as part of the eff ort to cut the number of deputies from 930 to 800.

Commissioners cut across the board to cover a $29 million defi cit this year. That included a $5.5 million cut from the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s offi ce.

Part of slimming down means not rehiring when deputies leave. Another part is an upcoming layoff .

In March, Neil will lay off 10 deputies – three from court services, three from the administration and four from enforcement. Those deputies have already been notifi ed, Neil.

As of Thursday, Feb. 7, the department has slimmed down to 896 since July, the sheriff said.

“People really haven’t noticed the changes because they’re subtle,” Neil said. “That might not be the end of it.”

In late March, 16 deputies in electronic monitoring will lose funding because probation will take that area over. Neil said he’s tried to move deputies around, but it’s diffi cult due to bargaining unit agreements.

According to Sheriff ’s Offi ce Fiscal Offi cer Kevin Horn, layoff s haven’t happened since 2008, when the Queensgate jail was closed.

Horn said the sheriff ’s offi ce tries to stay close to budget every year and works closely with the county’s budget offi ce. But with the $5.5 million defi cit and other cuts across the county, normal turnover wasn’t enough.

“We knew we could cut a lot through attrition, so these layoff s were just getting us down to the numbers we need right now,” Horn said.

There will be changes across the board. Deputies will likely be shuffl ed to keep services intact at the jail.

Neil said areas like Anderson Township, which have contracts with the county for sheriff ’s services, also won’t see an impact in staffi ng or services.

“The community elected me for the purpose of public safety. I wasn’t elected to budget ... or any of the other services that other elected (officials) are responsible for,” Sheriff Jim Neil says. ENQUIRER FILE

The sheriff ’s offi ce, which includes the jail, is the most expensive department in county government, accounting for one-third of Hamilton County’s $239 million budget.

Every year since Neil took offi ce in 2012, he has overspent his allotted budget, most years by at least $2 million, according to the Hamilton County Offi ce of Budget and Strategic Initiatives.

In 2018, the sheriff ’s offi ce spent $4.8 million more than was budgeted. Neil said patrols in three western townships, Harrison, Crosby and Whitewater, would slim down as those deputies would likely be moved to diff erent areas. Sheriff ’s deputies will still respond to calls for service in those townships.

Why is this happening? Blame the state and increased demand for services, commissioners said.

Since Gov. John Kasich took offi ce in 2011, budget cuts and changes in the state tax law resulted in a loss of $351 million a year statewide to counties, the County Commissioners Association of Ohio reported.

Hamilton County will take another $6 million hit in 2019 thanks to a federal decree that no longer allows the county to collect sales taxes on Medicaid managed care.

Another factor is where the county’s main source of income, the sales tax, goes. The county dedicates a large portion of its sales tax, about $120 million, toward the two stadiums on the riverfront and Union Terminal renovations. All of these were approved by voters.

ODOT Continued from Page 4A

An overhead, electronic sign near Glen EsteWithamsville Road already warns drivers to “Watch for stopped traffi c ahead."

In a three-week period late last year and early this year, two motorists driving west on Ohio 32 were killed in separate, multi-vehicle crashes near the ramp to northbound I-275.

Factors may include failure to stop to avoid traffi c at the signal, and speed and lane changes as drivers approach ramps to I-275 from westbound Ohio 32.

ODOT spokesman Brian Cunningham said a $40million future improvement to the interchange would build dedicated on- and off -ramps, but that has not been funded.

“Since funding is not available at this time for the full-build concept, we are actively analyzing congestion and safety issues associated with westbound state Route 32 just east of Interstate 275,” he said.

There have been non-fatal crashes in the area for years, and Cunningham said the state began studying the issue last August.

The study includes the number of vehicles traveling through the westbound Ohio 32-northbound I-275 area, as well as tracking where motorists are driving to and from, routes taken and the number of turns and lane changes by drivers.

“The study focus is to identify potential improvements in the area to lessen the existence of slow or stopped motorists mixing with higher-speed traffi c on westbound State Route 32,” Cunningham said.

He said other improvements may include: ❚ Adjusting traffi c-signal timing on westbound Ohio 32. ❚ Reconfi guring and widening lanes on westbound Ohio 32. ❚ Re-confi guring the intersection at westbound Ohio 32 and northbound I-275.

“Depending on the fi ndings of the analysis and available funding, we will pursue some or all improvements (discussed),” Cunningham said.

Union Township is keeping a close eye on the problem, said Trustee John McGraw, who supports the $40 million ramps project.

“Although State Route 32 is a state highway and out of our jurisdiction, we are working with ODOT to fi nd the best and safest solutions,” McGraw said.

Exceptionally durable and easy to clean, resilient vinyl flooring is a great choice for high-traffic areas. And with wood, tile and stone looks, it’s as stylish as it is strong. It’s just one of the many advantages. And best if all, it’s Waterproof too!

Four Cincinnati area men named in Southern Baptist sex scandal James Pilcher and Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati area cases in summary

At least four former Southern Baptist ministers or church volunteers with ties to Greater Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky were convicted on sexual abuse charges in the last 20 years, according to a sweeping investigation published Sunday, Feb. 10.

The investigation by two Texas newspapers found more than 700 victims of sexual misconduct by church leaders or volunteers.

Locally, those included a Northern Kentucky associate minister who molested a 5-year-old girl in his care, as well as a Clermont County man who sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl.

The Houston Chronicle and San Antonio ExpressNews compiled more than 380 cases over the last 20 years of church leaders and volunteers who have been charged with sex crimes. Most are now in prison or are registered sex off enders, according to the report.

Several past presidents and prominent Southern Baptist Convention leaders have been accused by victims of concealing or mishandling abuse complaints within their churches or seminaries, the newspapers reported.

The current ethics leader of the Southern Baptist Convention promised to encourage reforms that protect children in response to the report.

Russell Moore, who is the convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission president, commended the work by the publications.

“The report is alarming and scandalous, the courage and grace of these survivors is contrasted with the horrifi c depravity of those who would use the name of Jesus to prey on them,” Moore said in a Sunday blog post.

Southern Baptists are the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S. The Nashville-based convention believes in local control of member churches.

The investigation was spurred on by Southern Baptist Convention leaders unwillingness for more than a decade to create a list of sexual predators from affi liated churches, the news outlets said. Together, the news outlets created their own.

The newspapers’ database showed two off enders from Ohio, while Kentucky had six off enders on the list.

Here are details about the cases with area ties: ❚ Charles Edward Engle, 54, of Williamsburg Township in Clermont County, pleaded guilty two counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and was sentenced in October 2013 to two years in prison.

Engle was a youth minister at First Baptist Church in Mount Orab, Brown County, where he was accused of assaulting a 15-year-old, prosecutors said, at the church’s youth ministry house. He was sentenced to two years in prison and required to register afterward as a sex off ender in the state. Ohio Department of Corrections records show he was released Oct. 14, 2015. ❚ In 2016, Joseph Niemeyer turned himself in to Independence police and admitted to molesting a young girl in his care. Niemeyer worked with youth at the Banklick Baptist Church in Walton until he was arrested. He also volunteered at Twenhofel Middle School.

He was convicted of sodomy and sexual abuse of a child and sentenced to 20 years, and he is in prison in Beattyville, Kentucky. ❚ John Diehl was the associate pastor of Administration at Piner Baptist Church in Morningview from 2004 until 2010 when he was arrested on sodomy and incest charges for abusing children in his care.

He pleaded guilty and served eight years in prison.

Diehl was paroled in January 2018 but is listed on the Kentucky sex off enders registry and was ordered to have no contact with the children.

Diehl now lives in West Virginia and is on the sex off ender registry there. ❚ A federal judge in Covington sentenced a Floyd County pastor in October 2018 to 10 years in prison for distributing images online of a child engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

David Glenn Boyd, 54, was pleaded guilty to the charge before Judge Karen Caldwell in the Eastern District of Kentucky in March 2018. A charge of possessing the material was dismissed.

Kentucky State Police investigated the CyberTipline report in October 2016 about the incident. A state police investigator obtained a search warrant for Boyd’s residence in Wheelwright, Kentucky, and Boyd showed up during the search, court records show. Police collected Boyd’s electronic media and found 42 still images and 35 videos that met the federal defi ni-

tion of child pornography. Court records state that Boyd admitted “he knew the images he received, possessed and distributed through the use of his computer depicted minors.”

Boyd’s expected release date is Aug. 21, 2026, and he is expected to register as a sex off ender as a condition of supervised release.

Southern Baptist ethics leader seeks change In Moore’s blog about the investigation, he did not call for mandatory reforms at every church. He said that the convention would work with cooperating churches and the scandal should be handled as a fl ock, not as a corporation.

“Our approach is seeking to encourage policies and practices that protect children and the vulnerable from sexual abuse in autonomous but cooperating churches, all the while promoting compliance with laws and providing compassionate care for those who have survived trauma,” Moore said in the blog post.

“True, we have no bishops. But we have a priesthood of believers. And a key task of that priesthood is maintaining the witness of Christ in the holiness and safety of his church. That means training churches to recognize sexual predation and how to deal with charges or suspicions when they emerge, and equipping churches to stop the pattern, in their church or from their church to others.”

“No church should be frustrated by the Houston Chronicle’s reporting, but should thank God for it,” Moore said. “The Judgment Seat of Christ will be far less reticent than a newspaper series to uncover what should never have been hidden.

Sports Loveland taps Andy Cruse as new head football coach Melanie Laughman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Anderson has won more games this season (16) than in the previous three seasons combined (15). The Redskins were 1-22 just two years ago, but now hope to appear in a sectional fi nal. THANKS TO PHILLIP SHELDON

Ohio Team of Week: Anderson’s toughness led to its turnaround Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati Enquirer readers voted Anderson girls basketball as the Ohio Team of the Week, based on votes tallied on Feb 8. Winning teams receive a feature that runs the following week. Information and statistics refl ect the original publication date: Feb. 14.

Anderson head girls basketball coach Phil Sheldon’s worst season actually turned out to be one of his favorites.

In 2016-2017, then in his second year at Anderson, Sheldon’s club lost its last 16 games and landed fi rmly in the Eastern Cincinnati Conference cellar at 1-22.

But the team’s energy and eff ort never wavered.

The Redskins lost 13 games by 20-plus points, but carried themselves with an unmatched intensity that was never altered by a lopsided defi cit.

“When we were 1-22, even if we were down 30 points, they never stopped playing. They tried where they would only lose by 20. They would be diving on the fl oor in the fourth quarter down 35 points,” Shel-

don said. “Coaches would come up to us after the game and say ‘man, you guys play so hard.’ One of my most enjoyable seasons was going 1-22 because I knew these kids had something that I couldn’t teach.”

Two years after fi nishing as the penultimate Division I team in Ohio (198th overall), Anderson carries a 16-6 record into this season’s sectional tournament.

It’s Anderson’s fi rst winning season since capturing an ECC title in 2015.

Sheldon credits the turnaround to his team’s toughness. It takes a certain degree of resiliency to go 9-37 over the last two seasons and then churn out a 16-win season.

“It’s probably the greatest attribute you could have as an athlete is toughness, both mentally and physically,” Sheldon said. “Being tough, it knows no gender, no color; it’s just an advantage. Winning doesn’t happen by accident. Toughness is the greatest attribute you could have and they have it.”

Opponents have found out how tough Anderson See ANDERSON, Page 2B

Loveland High School announced Feb. 5 Andy Cruse as its next head varsity football coach, pending board approval.

“I am beyond excited for this opportunity and can’t wait to get started. I am humbled and motivated to lead not only Loveland High School, but this terrific community as well. I understand the challenge of the ECC but I know we can be successful with a dedication to hard work and a consistent desire to be our best,” Cruse said in a press release.

Cruse has coached at the varsity football level with Moeller HIgh School for the past three years, serving as the special teams coordinator for the last two. He began his football coaching career in 2015 at Turpin High School.

Cruse had an exceptional playing career that went all the way to the National Football League. He was an undrafted free agent for the Houston Texans in 2013 where he played for a Super Bowl winning coach, Gary Kubiak. He earned a spot on their practice squad for the 2013 season, following a preseason that included a touchdown at Cowboy Stadium. The following year he was in camp with the Minnesota Vikings.

Cruse attended Miami University where he was a standout athlete. He was RedHawks captain his senior year in 2012. They were Mid-American conference champions in 2010 and fi nished with a record of 10-4.

He was a part of a high powered off ense and sits at #6 all time in receptions at Miami University with 160 catches. He was a standout high school player for Eastern Cincinnati Conference rival Turpin High School.

Andy and his wife, Ashley, have been married for over two years and live in Milford.

can be on defense, which has fueled the Redskins this season. During the 1-22 campaign, Sheldon’s team had a goal to hold teams under 40 points per game, but the average ballooned to 56.7 by season’s end.

The corner was turned this season on the defensive end, though. Anderson currently gives up just 38.5 points per game, second in the ECC to stateranked Walnut Hills. The Redskins clinched a winning conference record (8-6) on Feb. 9 by holding Kings to just nine fi rst-half points and 23 percent shooting in a 40-34 victory.

“They have really bought in to two things: defense and communication,” Sheldon said. “They communicate well one and off the court and they take pride in it. They love playing defense and don’t want to make mistakes. Even at practice, they take such pride in defending and they don’t want their guy to score.”

In year’s past, Anderson had a hard enough time keeping games within single digits. The Redskins were 8-10 in such contests over the last three years, but have fl ipped that script this season with an 8-0 record in tight aff airs. Anderson is also unbeaten in overtime this season, winning three times in OT over a 16-day span in January.

“That’s toughness,” Sheldon said.

“These kids learned it two years ago when they did not stop playing. They’ve been down seven or eight in the fourth quarter and they’ve won those games.”

Sheldon said one of those OT wins was the season’s biggest turning point, that showed why 2018-19 was going to be a change for the better. Trailing by three in the waning seconds of regulation, junior Elizabeth Homan drilled a three-pointer at the horn to send the game to overtime, where Anderson would prevail, 42-39.

“That’s when I knew something was

Anderson guard Elizabeth Homan is third in the ECC in assists and three-pointers made. ADAM BAUM/ENQUIRER FILE

special. They learned how to win,” Sheldon said.

Homan and Karley Steinher are two key components on this year’s team that were freshmen gaining varsity experience on the 1-22 squad.

Homan, who averaged 7.1 points per game in 2017, is third in the ECC in assists (64) and three-pointers made (39) this season.

“She runs the show and she’s one of the best point guards in the ECC,” Sheldon said. “She’s improved her threepoint shooting percentage and she’s

over 30 percent right now. She’s been a big part of us being successful.”

Steinher is one rebound shy of averaging a double-double on the year. The junior has tallied four of them this season, including a 21-point, 20-board performance in the aforementioned win over neighboring school McNicholas.

Sheldon calls fellow junior Mackenzie Burdick “the defi nition of relentless.”

Burdick has scored in double fi gures six times this season and grabbed a season-high 14 rebounds in a three-point win over Milford Jan. 26.

Anderson has found diff erent ways to win this season. Some nights they are a fast-paced off ense that generates a swift fl ow of the game and is lethal from beyond the arc. The Redskins, who are second-best three-point shooting team in the ECC, hit 10 fi rst-half triples in a 65-33 victory over Harrison Jan. 31.

On other nights, though, the Redskins have the versatility to overcome a sub-par off ensive showing with a stifl ing defense that forces tough shots and creates turnovers. Anderson and Turpin combined to go 14-for-60 from the fi eld in a war of attrition on Dec. 8.

The Redskins made just 1 of 18 threepoint attempts and missed eight free throws, but forced more turnovers (23) than they allowed shots attempted (20) and outscored the Spartans 16-10 in the second half to hang on, 28-25.

“I can’t teach eff ort and intensity - I can’t coach it. A lot of coaches understand that,” Sheldon said. “What sums up my team is that they’ve really adopted the idea that you want to be easy to play with, but you want to be hard to play against.”

For most teams, going 15-53 combined over the last three years would’ve made their goals for this season very modest. That’s not the case for Sheldon and company, which attacked this year with aspirations of being one of the city’s top teams and appearing in a sectional title game.

The Redskins are one victory away from that coveted trip to a sectional fi nal. The tournament drawing granted Anderson a fi rst-round bye, and they will play either Oak Hills (11) or Southwest Ohio Conference champion Little Miami (16-6) next Thursday, Feb. 21 at Lakota East High School, searching for their fi rst playoff win since Feb. 2015.

“Both Oak Hills and Little Miami are well-coached teams,”Sheldon said.

“They’ve got good, balanced squads that shoot the ball well and they’re smart basketball players so it’s going to be a challenge. You get to the tournament it’s about defense and rebounding. It’s simple.”

Howdy folks.

The rain doesn’t seem to quit.

If the rain had been snow, we would have a bunch – don’t you think?

The offi cer that was killed in a car wreck a few days ago that lived in Bethel had two children and a wife.

They could use some help and if you want to make a donation for his wife and children, you can make it at the Fifth Third Bank.

Be sure to mention that it is for the benefi t of Jared Lee. The Shepherd’s Place in Bethel will be having two craft shows.

The fi rst one is on March 9 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The next one will be on March 23, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Both of these craft shows are at the Shepherd’s Place in Bethel so get ready.

I will be there also.

Mike told me folks are fi nding lots of deer antlers – some really big ones.

I found a couple eight pointers last year by the honeybee hives.

I have found some that the critters have been chewing on as well.

I was talking to a friend of mine and we were talking about the sauger and walleye the fi sherman are catching in the Ohio River.

He said there was a fi sherman that was fi shing last week and he caught three blue catfi sh.

One of those blue catfi sh weighed 70 pounds and the other two weighed about 50 pounds each.

He said when the river is high the big

catfi sh will be feeding and caught.

I can’t imagine how it would be to catch a fi sh that was 70 pounds.

That would take some big fi shing equipment and a while to land.

Have any of you folks ever been to Ripley to the Rockin Robin Restaurant?

It has been there for over 20 years. I have been there a few times. It has the theme of the 1950s. The place is along Front Street so you can see the Ohio River.

The new owner is Mrs. Hope Hughes.

It has traditional food items from the 1950s as well as a few newer items on the menu.

They will be honoring the police, fi refi ghters, and veterans. That will be a way of saying thank you. This is a special place.

The Monroe Grange in Nickolsville, has a card party the fi rst Saturday of each month playing euchre starting at 6 p.m.

A Grange in Brown County that meets at White Oak Valley in Mowrystown has a euchre card party as well.

Both Granges have prices for the players. This is one way the Grangers make money.

Mr. Chester as I write this is laying on my bed.

He leaves a little depression where he lays in my bed.

Mrs. Paula’s cat has a special place where she lays on Paula’s recliner.

Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and praising the good Lord.

God bless all...

SCHOOL NEWS Batavia students donate over 100 blankets to nursing center Batavia High School’s Chick-fi l-A Leader Academy organized a Do Good

December project that involved the residents at the Batavia Nursing Care Center. Students, staff members, and local families donated hundreds of yards of fl eece to make over 100 no-sew blankets.

The goal was to have a blanket for every resident at the center. Recently, they met that goal. The blankets were delivered to residents and nursing staff . Students sang Christmas carols and joined in the weekly bingo game.

At a recent meeting of Happy Gardeners Garden Club, local author Amy Stross talked about growing an edible garden in your own yard.

Amy is the author of the Suburban Micro-Farm: Modern solutions for busy people, which instructs the reader on how to grow a beautiful garden with vegetables, fruits, herbs, and perennials.

She showed the group her former home garden on video outlining the plants bushes and trees that work well in a suburban Cincinnati garden.

Each member was given a packet of chive seeds to get started on her own food landscape.

Happy Gardeners was founded in 1962 and holds monthly meetings covering a variety of garden related topics.

Each year at Christmas time the club donates personal care baskets to the clients of Inter Parish Ministry in Newtown. Members are from Anderson Township and Mt. Washington.

Clermont Library to host Science Fair March 2 Children and teens are busy completing their projects for the Clermont County Public Library Science Fair.

“This was defi antly a community project. Everyone came together to make this happen,” said Megan Wallace, the Chick-fi l-A Academy media offi cer.

All residents appreciated the gift, with some saying it was the only gift they would receive. After hearing this, juniors Mary Heckard and Zoe Young asked, “What else can we do? We want to come back.” So far, the group will deliver Valentine’s to the residents in February. I am sure it will not be the last time these students and Batavia Nursing Care Center residents enjoy each other’s company.

The idea of the Chickfi l-A Academy is for the 30 academy students to involve hundreds in their school to impact thousands in the community.

The group is well on their way as they plan a large end of year project that will provide support and meals to many families in the Batavia community.

The team had a special guest with them this year. Heather Bunning, Director of Marketing and Stakeholder Engagement for the national Business Professionals of America Association, joined them.

Mrs. Bunning said “I appreciated the chance to personally witness what some of the incredible students of Business Professionals of America are doing within their communities. We are given the opportunity every day to extend our hand and help people get and give better. The students of Great Oaks/Batavia BPA are living and leading by that example. It is inspiring to witness them give back to an organization like Special Olympics, while having fun in the process.”

Turpin sophomore receives Scholastic Gold Key Award Turpin sophomore Elizabeth Liu received a regional Gold Key award in the 2019 Scholastic Writing Contest.

Works submitted to the contest were evaluated based on three criteria: originality, technical skill, and the emergence Elizabeth of a personal voice or viLiu sion.

Gold Key awards are considered the very best works submitted to local programs and are automatically considered for national-level recognition.

Elizabeth’s story, “Cherry Blossoms”, is a work of historical fi ction which follows a young girl growing up in suburban America during World War II. She develops a strong bond with her neighbor, Judy, a woman of Japanese descent.

The eventual internment of the Japanese, including her friend Judy, forces her to face the harsh realities of racism.

She works to fi nd a way to reconcile the beliefs of her peers from her own experiences.

In addition to writing and stellar academic credentials, Elizabeth is a violinist in the Turpin Honors Symphony Orchestra and a Key Club member.

She is a member of the Turpin girls’ varsity swim team which just won the ECC championship for the second consecutive year.

In her spare time she is a slime artist and donates her time and sale proceeds to charity.

Pacelli students showcase geographic knowledge The National Geographic GeoBee does more than just test students’ knowledge of geography: it inspires their curiosity about the world around them.

Cardinal Pacelli was one of almost 10,000 schools nationwide to compete in the famous bee this year.

Eight student fi nalists from grades 5-8 vied to answer questions covering everything from states, continents and rivers to animals and ecology.

Fifth grade teacher Megan Peterson and sixth grade teacher Patrick Cosgrove served as the coordinators and judges, and presented seven rounds of questions, each with a diff erent theme.

The competitors answered each question by holding up a whiteboard on which they had written their answer.

The school champion was eighth grader Luke Watts, who answered every question correctly. Runner up William Taschuk missed one.

Principal Terri Cento stands with Luke Watts, who won the GeoBee at Cardinal Pacelli School. PROVIDED

Luke will now complete an online test to see if he qualifi es for the state competition. He said, “Some of the questions were hard, but if I really thought about it I knew I could fi gure it out.”
