James Sowders, who has worked for the city for 16 years, tosses a blow-up sled back into a front yard. "There’s something different every day," he says, explaining his job duties vary from fi xing the streets to mowing lawns to plowing snow. “There are thousands of things to do and not nearly enough people to do them.”
‘I’LL BE OUT HERE UNTIL MIDNIGHT:’ Riding along with a snowplow driver
Joe Timmerman Cincinnati Enquirer
James Sowders drives a snowplow for the City of Loveland Public Works. On Feb. 15, he started at 7:30 a.m. and began a very long day. Usually off by 4, he fi gured that it wouldn't be quitting time as usual. "Tonight, I'll be out here until midnight before I clock out and another driver takes my place for the rest of the night." Enquirer photojournalist Joe Timmerman followed along: Sowders, who has worked for the city for 16 years, tosses a blow-up sled back into a front yard. "There's something diff erent every day," he says, explaining his job duties also include fi xing streets, mowing lawns and plowing snow. "There are thousands of things to do and not nearly enough people to do them." Sowders shifts the controls that drop salt from the bed with one hand as he shifts the metal snowplow controls with the other hand. He is one of four Public Works employees driving in loops around Loveland as the area's biggest snowstorm in years rolls through. “The last time I remember a storm like this was in 2008 when we got about 12 inches. When there’s that much snow, there’s nowhere to put it, it just piles up,” he says. Sowders breaks up clumps of salt with a shovel after climbing into the back of his nearly empty truck bed. His truck was fully loaded with fi ve tons of salt when he start-

Union Township has found the proverbial silver lining in the COVID-19 pandemic. Offi cials have long wanted to build a sixth fi re station in the north end of the township in Clermont County. Now, they’ve started construction of a new fi rehouse there on Beechwood Road by using $1.8 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds to help pay the cost of the $3.7 million facility set to open late in September. “The station will be built to allow drive-thru testing or vaccine shots to be done on the site. It will also allow for storage of PPE (personal protective equipment) on site to be used in the township,” township Trustee John McGraw said. “At the same time, it will be fully equipped with fi re and EMS (emergency medical services) trucks and equipment.” McGraw said the passage of a 2-mill fi re and EMS levy last November means the township can staff the station as soon as it is built. “This will cut response times in the northern part of the township signifi cantly, thus saving lives,” he said. And once the COVID-19 pandemic ends? “The station is designed with forward-thinking and will always be stocked with emergency PPE and other equipment to be ready for any crisis or future health pandemic,” McGraw said. “The drive-thru testing/vaccination area can be used for fi re equipment when not needed for pandemic use.”

Fire Chief Stanley Deimling said Union Township was poised to take advantage of the unexpected infl ux of pandemic relief money. “Over 20 years ago we started doing fi re department deployment and response studies to project current and future realized and latent demands for services. From this we prioritize the use of available resources to best provide fi re and emergency medical services not only today but for years to come,” Deimling said. “With the rapid growth of the northwest area of the township and the length of travel and response time from the Eastgate station, it has been on the list to expand services in that area for a long time.

Public Works. An additive in the salt turns it blue and keeps the large loads of salt from getting too clumped up. Sowders walks through the falling sleet towards a less visible part of his job: forklifting tons of salt into his truck bed. There are two salt bins that are used by the city. This salt bin, in the East Loveland Nature Preserve parking lot, holds 450 tons when full, but is currently dwindling as the city is waiting for their supplier to refi ll. Sowders scans the road while waiting at a stop sign, “We spend a lot more time than public works crews in other places around here do," he says. "Where I live, the state waits until the snow is over before they come out and do any-

thing, I guess you could say we take a little bit more pride in the work.” Sowders’ snowplow is one of the few vehicles braving the storm as he plows ice and spreads salt up one of Loveland’s biggest hills at the Broadway Street and State Route 48 intersection. “The only bad thing about there not being many cars on the road is that they help move, track and spread the salt a little better,” he explains. “I’ve never seen this small amount of people out on the roads. Usually, at this time of day (5 p.m.) it sucks, but it looks like people actually heeded the warnings this time around.” Sowders climbs onto his truck's hood to break off clumps of ice that stick to his windshield wipers while driving on State Route 48. “Sometimes it feels like the police and fi re departments get all the recognition, but it comes in waves. People have brought me out coff ee or cookies,” he says. “In the summertime, when I’m working at the parks or fi xing water main breaks outside people’s homes, they’ll come out and talk to me and I’ll get a lot of recognition.” Sowders answers a phone call in the midst of falling sleet after climbing on the front of his truck to clear ice off his windshield wipers. His wife, then his boss calls saying the radar looks like the storm has passed on. “But now it looks like it hasn’t actually stopped. That’s

what she does to you — you think you’re ahead and Mother Nature says nope! Back to square one. Even if the snow stopped, we’ll be out here until midnight. Right now, we have to keep focusing on clearing and salting the main roads and hills before we really even touch the side roads and subdivisions.” Sowders drives his snowplow back to
fi ll the bed with salt before continuing his few-mile looped route around Loveland. While the precipitation on Feb. 15 looked mostly like ice or sleet, the Loveland area received about 8 inches of snow. “I mostly deal with water: pipes or main breaks,” he says. “But when it comes to snow plowing — we’re all in, all hands on deck.”

Judge: Milford couple illegally dumped waste, banned from further business Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

ready been purchased so that when the opportunity and funding presented itself, we would be able to accomplish that goal.” Deimling said township offi cials did not expect to have the money needed to
build a new fi rehouse for several more years. “When the CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act) funding became available, not only could we move on the fi re station but include the Covid-19 distribution/immunization center as well,” he said. “(It’s) certainly a win-win scenario for the residents of Union Township.”
A Clermont County judge banned a couple from operating in the waste industry after offi cials say the couple dumped acres of waste on their property to avoid paying proper fees. Donald and Anita Combs owned Ace Dumpsters and Combs Trucking and Land Improvements, according to a Feb. 17 release from Attorney General Dave Yost. The couple was found liable on Yost's eight-count complaint to stop 55-year-old Donald Combs, of Milford, from endangering the public with the abundance of waste. Authorities fi rst closed the Goshen Township business in September of 2014, after the Clermont County health commissioner Julianne Nesbit described it as "the largest nuisance" in the county. An Enquirer report says Combs had battled township offi cials for about fi ve years before the 2014 closure. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Division of Solid Waste and Material Management and Clermont County Public Health investigated and found Combs was using his property to dump waste from his demolition and waste hauling business to avoid fees. A Clermont County Common Pleas Court judge banned Combs from dumping waste at one of the sites in 2016, Yost said. After that site was barricaded, Combs began dumping waste at his personal residence. He advertised waste hauling and answered similar solicitations on Craigslist. Combs often off ered consumers a much lower rate than waste haulers that paid the proper fees to dump waste legally. The repeated violations led Yost
Donald Combs’ Trucking and Land Improvements facility is now closed by court order. Authorities say the Goshen Township businessman was illegally composting, burning solid waste and storing scrap tires on his property on Ohio 28. CINDY SCHROEDER/THE COMMUNITY PRESS
to ask the court to permanently ban the couple from operating any waste business, according to the release. Combs was indicted on 12 charges in March 2020. His charges spanned illegal open dumping or burning, illegal operation of a solid waste facility without a license and illegally causing or allowing air pollution. “Your trash doesn’t magically go away because it is in the back of a garbage truck,” Yost said in the Feb. 17 release. “We all want to do what we can to save money but this guy was dumping waste meant for a landfi ll on his own property in order to make a buck.” Yost says Combs is required to immediately being removing waste from his residence and clean up both sites. If Combs brings any waste to either property, he will be barred from that site.

EASTSIDE COMMUNITY PRESS
Trouble in Bethel: How BLM, pandemic and two dead cows created a crisis the evidence room and mishandled the “cow incident,” creating a safety risk and causing the wounded cow to suff er for 30 minutes before dying. “Recent events have brought the defi ciencies to the forefront,” wrote the auditor, Scott Hughes, a police academy commander and the police chief in Hamilton Township in Warren County. “Without signifi cantly more resources and a leadership focus, the department – and community – may continue to suff er.” In the administrative charges, Noble said Teague frequently ignored proper procedure and, in some cases, lied to him. One of the charges claims Teague worked a paid off -duty detail in Loveland in October while also being paid his full salary to work in Bethel. “The chief ’s priority should be on the Village of Bethel,” Noble wrote in the charge, which alleges theft in offi ce. He said Teague also disregarded the mayor’s COVID-19 safety protocols and frequently made unnecessary visits to the fi rehouse, endangering other essential workers. Noble, who declined comment Thursday, said at the Feb. 11 hearing that Teague’s conduct was unacceptable and refl ected poorly on the village. When Supinger asked him about the Black Lives Matter protests, Noble said media coverage of the counterprotesters confronting peaceful demonstrators gave the community a black eye. He said he and others in village government received thousands of emails, calls and voicemails from people around the country upset by the images from Bethel on social media and the national news. Someone even hacked the village’s website, Noble said. “It was an ugly day. It was a bad day for our town,” the mayor said. “It was horrible.” Teague could not be reached for comment and his lawyer declined comment Thursday. But at the Feb. 11 hearing, Lundrigan said his client’s reputation had been “smeared in a very serious way.” He noted that Teague had worked for the city as a police offi cer for 17 years before becoming chief in 2019 and had never been disciplined in any way for his conduct. Lundrigan suggested the mayor is making Teague a scapegoat and said all of the administrative charges are based on personality diff erences, not on actions that could legally result in Teague’s dismissal. He described the charges as “malicious, gratuitous slurs.” “Chief Teague can’t be fi red because of a personality confl ict,” Lundrigan said. The village council will decide what happens next. When the hearing is over, council members will vote on whether to dismiss the charges, discipline Teague for his conduct or fi re him. The hearing is set to resume March 2.

It’s been a rough year in the village of Bethel. The Clermont County community and its 2,800 residents are still stinging from the national attention they got last June when bat-wielding, gun-toting counterprotesters descended on Black Lives Matter demonstrations in the village. The fallout from that debacle, along with a series of other, less publicized problems, is now at the heart of a feud between suspended Police Chief Steve Teague and Mayor Jay Noble, who is trying to fi re Teague. Noble accuses Teague of lying, bullying, incompetence and neglect of duty. Teague says the mayor is making him a scapegoat for his own failures and for the national embarrassment that resulted from the Black Lives Matter protests and counterprotests. “I’m not going to mince words,” said Teague’s lawyer, Kelly Lundrigan, at a Feb. 11 administrative hearing. “This is a hatchet job that is masquerading as a fair hearing process.” An audit issued last month found the department was ill-prepared for the protests and criticized Teague’s leadership style. The mayor’s accusations against Teague run the gamut. One of the 11 administrative charges fi led earlier this month claims the chief allowed the June protests to get out of control despite a known threat of violence. Another charge says he risked public health last spring by ignoring COVID-19 safety rules. And another accuses Teague of acting recklessly in October when trying to apprehend and euthanize a pair of runaway cows, one of which was shot as many as seven times with handguns and a shotgun before dying. Noble said the shooting of the cows, which the administrative charges refer to as “The Cow Incident,” occurred in part because “Teague wanted to participate in killing cows for his own personal pleasure.” “These charges merit the chief ’s removal from offi ce,” said Village Solicitor Emily Supinger, who presented the charges to the village council at the fi vehour hearing on Feb. 11. “The issues with Chief Teague have grown and mounted.” Lundrigan said the problem is the mayor, not the chief. At the hearing, Lundrigan said the administrative charges, which are not criminal but could result in the chief ’s fi ring, are the product of a personal vendetta involving the mayor and his clerk. Lundrigan also suggested the political views of the chief and his wife, particularly their support of the Black Lives Matter movement, are in part to blame for the attacks against him.
“We welcome all of them, as long as they’re peaceful,” says Steve Teague, police chief of Bethel, Ohio. AMANDA ROSSMANN / THE ENQUIRER
He said Teague briefed the mayor, the solicitor and others about his plan for handling crowd control at the Black Lives Matter protest and everyone signed off on it. In a brief fi led before the hearing, Lundrigan said the mayor and council members were “highly complimentary” of his work in the immediate aftermath of the protests. “The mayor has now apparently changed his mind,” Lundrigan wrote in the brief. The administrative charges against Teague came seven months after Black Lives Matter counterprotesters fl ooded the village’s streets, and less than a month after the independent audit of the police department concluded Teague mishandled the protests on June 14 and June 15. The audit found local police had ample warning that motorcycle gangs and other counterprotesters intended to disrupt the Black Lives Matter demonstration, possibly with violence. Several people were injured and police arrested about a half dozen counterprotesters. The audit also found Bethel police had not completed required training, had failed to properly maintain

Swensons Drive-In restaurant coming to Union Twp. Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A Swensons Drive-In restaurant could open by year’s end at a Union Township site that has been an eyesore since Scallywag Tag East closed there four years ago. The nearly 90-year-old restaurant chain is a throwback to the time of car hops and curbside service that now fi nds itself serendipitously suited for the social distancing needed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based in Akron, Swensons is known for its Galley Boy double cheeseburgers with special sauces and 18 fl avors of milkshakes. Its menu also includes chicken, pork and veggie sandwiches; fi sh and chicken dinners; onion rings; soups; and ice cream desserts. Swensons' website lists 15 locations in northeast Ohio and the Columbus area. Asked whether more Swensons restaurants are planned for the Cincinnati area, Kevin Howley, a spokesperson for the chain, said in an email that, “As a company, we only comment on existing restaurants or sites under construction.” But he added, “Cincinnati is an incredible place.” The Morelia Group of Symmes Town-
ship wants to build a Swensons in Oakley at the northeast corner of Madison Road and Kennedy Avenue. Earlier this month, Cincinnati City Council agreed to a zone change to allow the restaurant and an additional 14,000 square feet of commercial and restaurant space near it, according to Supervising City Planner Alex Peppers. In Union Township in Clermont County, Trustee John McGraw said Swensons will tear down the Scallywag Tag building at 491 Ohio Pike for its restaurant there. He expects it will be very popular. “I do not have a construction timetable yet, but they expect to start as soon as they can so it likely will open later this year,” McGraw said. Scallywag operated a pirate-themed entertainment center with laser tag, miniature golf and arcade games for more than 12 years at the Ohio Pike site. Union Township announced a year ago that Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant planned to build there. But, “Cooper’s Hawk backed out of their plans to build there likely due to the pandemic,” McGraw said. “Union Township would like to see them fi nd a new location and the township is ready to help them. There was considerable excitement about Cooper’s Hawk coming, in fact it was off the charts, and I know they will be very successful in Union Township.”
Turpin student accused of secretly recording video in girls locker room Jessica Schmidt Fox19
A 15-year-old boy is facing criminal charges, accused of secretly recording video footage in a girls locker room at Turpin High School. Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Deputies said the boy attempted to record video of female students on his phone on Jan. 23, according to records. A 15-year-old girl and a 17-year-old girl told deputies they found the boy’s phone sitting on a pipe in the rafters of the girls locker room during a swim meet – and it was recording video, deputies said. Minutes after the girls discovered the device, investigators say the boy came to the locker room and asked if anyone had seen his phone. The victims, according to deputies, watched the video and saved a copy that they then gave to detectives. They also gave authorities the boy’s phone. School district offi cials say nothing illicit was captured on the video recording.
According to investigators, the suspect turned himself in and was arrested. He is now facing three counts of attempted voyeurism. If convicted, the teen could face a maximum sentence of 90 days or a maximum sentence of six months, depending on the charges, according to Mark Krumbein, a legal analyst for Fox19. The Forest Hill School District released a statement in response to what happened: “On January 23, Turpin High School’s administrative team was made aware that during a Saturday swim meet, an incident took place of unauthorized use of technology in the girls locker room. The attempt was discovered and resolved before any illicit images were captured. Forest Hills School District is working cooperatively with the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Offi ce; an investigation has been launched and is ongoing. As the incident is now a police matter, the district cannot discuss any further details at this time.” Enquirer media partner Fox19 provided this report
Judge says no to sealing records in Kyle Plush case: Trial date set Kevin Grasha and Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A judge has rejected a request to prevent the public from seeing certain records in a lawsuit fi led by the family of a teen who died after becoming trapped in a minivan. Both the city and attorneys for Kyle Plush’s family had sought to keep some of the evidence in the case confi dential, so that it would only be seen by the parties and witnesses. At a hearing Wednesday, Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Robert Ruehlman denied a request to seal the records, saying he didn’t believe it would be a problem. “I don’t like restricting access,” Ruehlman said. “I like everything to be open.” Kyle died after his Honda Odyssey’s third-row seat collapsed on him the afternoon of April 10, 2018. The minivan was parked in a lot near Seven Hills School, where Kyle, 16, was a student. He was pinned by the seat but still managed to call 911 twice by voice-activating his iPhone. Attorneys for the family have said two call takers at the city’s 911 center failed to help Kyle, and two police offi -
cers who drove through the parking lot didn’t conduct a thorough search. The city tried to have the case dismissed, but a state appellate court Plush ruled in December that it should continue. Although the lawsuit was fi led in 2019, the records are an issue now because the appeals court's decision put the case on track for a trial. At issue are photos of Kyle taken at the scene as well as training manuals used by the city’s emergency communications center. Typically, those records would be exchanged between the two parties and remain hidden from public view. Enquirer attorney Jack Greiner argued that in this case the records could also be public records, and they need to remain public. The protective order rejected by Ruehlman would have allowed public records to be fi led under seal. Ruehlman said in his three decades as a judge, he never had a problem with the media publishing graphic photos. He also said the training manuals would be protected by copyright. Ruehlman on Wednesday scheduled the trial for Feb. 7, 2022.

BBB: Don’t share your COVID-19 vaccine card on social media Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Have you gotten your COVID-19 vaccine? The Better Business Bureau is warning people against sharing pictures of their vaccination cards on social media. Why? BBB said the information on the card can make people vulnerable to identity theft and can help scammers create phony versions of the cards. Vaccination cards have full names, birthdate information and information about where the vaccine was given. “If your social media privacy settings aren’t set high, you may be giving valuable information away for anyone to use,” the BBB said. “Sharing your personal information isn’t the only issue. Scammers in Great Britain were caught selling fake vaccination cards on eBay and TikTok.” Offi cials said it’s “only a matter of time” before similar cons come to the United States and Canada, using information from pictures people post.

Heart & Hustle
Loveland’s Caleb Herbon made it a mission to play as a senior Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
LOVELAND — Caleb Herbon believed he was gearing up for the best basketball season of his life. After virtually wrapping up his junior year at Loveland High School last spring, Herbon put on 20 pounds of muscle during quarantine and worked on his game in preparation for the Tigers’ 2020-21 campaign. “I was a lot stronger and was just in a really good place for basketball,” Herbon recalled. “It was looking good and I was hoping to either start, get more playing time or just be a positive infl uence on my team whichever way I could.” Then, during a pick-up game with the friends at the park in June, he fell to the cement court in agony after diving for a loose ball: He had suff ered a torn ACL and partially-torn meniscus. Doctors reviewed the wounds and determined a 6-to 8- month recovery window, putting his fi nal basketball season in jeopardy. “I was actually pushing for fi ve months,” Herbon laughed. Breaking that appraised time span wouldn’t be the fi rst basketball challenge for the 6-foot-5 forward. Before he was in high school, Herbon’s experience in the game was limited to just a few recreational leagues. Due to his size, he was recruited to play as a freshman, thus beginning a four-year project to turn a towering soccer player into a powerful big man on the court. “I spoke to him about trying out for freshman basketball and he showed interest,” Loveland boys basketball coach Robert Reis said. “He was uncoordinated and lacked a ton of basketball skill,
but he seemed willing to put in the time and eff ort into getting better. He was a tremendously positive young man, a very hard worker and very coachable.” As a sophomore and junior, Herbon played junior varsity while swinging minutes with the varsity team during the 2019-2020 season, when he appeared in three games for the Tigers. “We laid out a vision for him of what his next two years could look like if he wanted to stick with it and he decided to do so,” Reis said. Senior year meant an all-or-nothing eff ort, which was immediately hindered after one innocent, awkward plummet at the park. “I had the mindset of getting back in time to see the fruits of the eff ort from my fi rst three years,” he said. Post-operation, Herbon spent the entirety of July sporting a hefty knee brace and crutches. In August, he fi nally walked on his own and began thriceweekly physical training and weight lifting to build up any strength he could. “It was pretty discouraging to see the amount of muscle you lose and the amount of function you don’t have,” Herbon said. “It gives you a clear-set goal to push for.” Reis added: “One of the fi rst things he told me was, ‘Coach, I’ll be back for at least part of the season.’ His work ethic was unbelievable; but more importantly, his attitude and approach to dealing with adversity were exactly what you would want to see.” Once he could walk, he could gingerly shoot around on the side of the court while the rest of the team went through full-speed sessions. Through Loveland’s 5-3 start to begin the season, he kept a positive mindset while embracing his relegated role of cheerleader.

“Until I was back, I just wanted to support my teammates in any way that I could,” he said. In mid-December, Herbon was fi nally cleared to resume basketball activities, just two weeks shy of his initial fi ve-month objective. “It was defi nitely the most physical and mental challenge I’ve had to overcome,” he said. Finally, the moment came. In a loss to Mason Dec. 29, Reis called Herbon’s number. Despite limited spectators due to the pandemic, his presence brought the house down. “It may have been the loudest cheer by the crowd that I have heard all season in any gym,” Reis said. “It’s mostly parents, but they know what kind of kid he is and how hard he had worked to come back. It was a really cool moment.” Two weeks later, he recorded his fi rst varsity points with a pair of buckets in a loss to Aiken. “It was weird, but it was a good type of weird,” Herbon said. “I was trying to get my nerves and headspace back under me. It felt good and kind of took the worry out of potentially reinjuring it. It felt natural to be with my team again.” Herbon has adjusted to his role of coming off the bench for a few key minutes with a focus on guarding an opponent’s big man. On Feb. 2, he aided Loveland’s defense by guarding 6-foot-9 Milford center Jack Ackermann. He also poured in a season-high sev-
en points with a pair of rebounds on the off ensive end. “That was probably the best I’ve felt out there,” Herbon said. “Guarding their big man while getting some points was fun.” Through it all, the pain is still there. Since returning after Christmas, Herbon has missed multiple games — most recently against Turpin Feb. 9 when the knee swelled up. The battle after the intense physical training and weight lifting is mental, but he tries to occlude that when he can. “I’ve been blessed to have a pretty good mindset and I trust the surgeons and the doctors,” Herbon said. “I have the brace there if I need it or if something goes weird. I try to block that out and go full speed like nothing happened, but it’s in the back of my mind a little bit. “I probably won’t feel 100% for a while, but I’m just gonna try to push through over the next two weeks.” That uncertainty is the price Herbon gladly paid when he decided that one last season with his team was his mission. Throughout the last four years, he’s made bonds that will last a lifetime from a sport he had rarely played. His motivation through it all was to be with his friends. “I love playing for Loveland and the guys I play with,” he said. “Just being able to be out there and play with them in any capacity, whether it’s a practice, game, shoot-around, was my motivation and it was worth it.”
OPINION
I’m not the same fan I used to be — thank goodness Mike Bass Guest Columnist USA TODAY NETWORK
Editor’s note: This is a weekly column from former sports reporter and editor Mike Bass. Bass will be contributing to The Enquirer by off ering advice for sports fans, athletes and youth sports parents and coaches through a weekly Q&A. You can reach him at mbass@mikebasscoaching.com or on Twitter @SportsFanCoach1. I so like being a fan again. I could watch the Super Bowl for as long as it was enjoyable, and then stop. I had hoped for a close game, and so I skipped the rout’s conclusion. I had preferred a Kansas City repeat over a seventh Tom Brady ring, but I could appreciate Brady’s feat without hearing endlessly of it. My messaging with friends had wound down, and so I joined my spouse to watch a “Star Trek” spinoff . No wallowing. No anger. Just the new fan in me. I grew up more of a fanatic. I lived and died with my teams, although more dying than living with those teams. I was a human mood ring. It was diff erent watching with friends, especially when we made a day of it, taking public transit to the games. We waited in line, snared the cheap seats, debated about players, laughed about nonsense, cheered and booed and second-guessed, and then headed home. The wins seemed sweeter and the

losses easier, although witnessing our team give up four home runs to Mike Schmidt and a 13-2 lead, yeah, that stung. Still, the game is part of the team’s lore, and ours. I kept the scorecard. I felt about Wrigley Field at the time the way Reds fans felt about Riverfront Stadium. I loved the cursed Cubs, but I did adopt the Big Red Machine for those mid-1970s World Series. Watching sports meant more if I rooted for someone. When my teams were not playing, maybe another cool team or colorful athlete was. I liked the New York Jets because of Broadway Joe Namath. I liked boxing because of Muhammad Ali. I wished my teams could reign. I wanted to know why they didn’t. Which led me to I sports writing. Now I rooted for the best stories, spending the bulk of my writing career in
Cincinnati. There, I learned from the winners and also-rans. Sometimes, the answer seemed simple. The 1987 Bengals splintered during the strike; the 1988 Bengals vowed to stick together and reached the Super Bowl. The 1989 Reds stumbled amid the Pete Rose scandal; the 1990 Reds regrouped under Lou Piniella and won the World Series. Simple? Hardly. So much goes into winning and losing. Talent. Attitude. Chemistry. Health. Timing. Coaching/ managing. Money. Schedule. Luck. Etc. Here is the big one I often missed and most fans usually skip: Other teams. Fans judge their team in a vacuum. They forget that roughly 30 teams compete for each pro title. (To say nothing of college.) If their team is not the ultimate winner, fans tend to blame the players or coaches/managers or offi cials/umpires
or … somebody. Coming close can amplify the hurt. Nobody boasts about their Vikings losing four Super Bowls in the 1970s. Or their Bills losing four straight in the 1990s. Or their Bengals losing two to the 49ers in the 1980s. Nobody wants to back Alydar. Sometimes the better team wins. And sometimes the better team loses to the better team that day. Think Miracle on Ice. Journalists examine a loss. It is their job. They need to consider what fans want to know. Fans feel a loss. It is personal. Emotion can cloud reason. When I left the media, could I go back to just being a fan? It would take some adjusting. But you know what? I enjoy being a fan more now. When my team wins, I feel the joy again. I still might feel the anguish of a loss, but it does not control me or linger. I rediscovered my passion and found ways to enhance it. I still feel the dramatic rollercoaster but appreciate the ride. My clients will say the same after they decide how to ride the Beast. For me, it can be tapping into Media Mode for in-game perspective, analyzing both teams and resetting my expectations. Watching games with those same old friends — even virtually — still makes the experience better. I enjoyed messaging with them during the Super Bowl. The food was good, the Chiefs were not, but I could applaud Tampa Bay’s defensive pressure against Kansas City’s patchwork off ensive line. And when it was time to go, Enterprise awaited.

COMMUNITY PRESS Autism Rocks 12: Music on a mission Autism Rocks 12 presented by the Heidt Family Foundation combines David Kahle’s two passions – autism and music. Kahle, of Milford, has always loved music. He’s done everything from being a roadie for touring bands to working as a professional D.J. Kahle began Autism Rocks 12 years ago to raise funds for nonprofi ts that serve people with Autism in tribute to his son Parker. Parker, now almost 16, continues to be David’s motivation to raise awareness and fi nancial support for the Ken Anderson Alliance. “I met Kenny Anderson seven years ago at a fundraising event and was impressed with his dedication to helping people with disabilities in our community,” said Kahle. The Ken Anderson Alliance is committed to providing live, work, and engage opportunities desperately needed for adults with disabilities. Kahle explains, “My son doesn’t use their services yet because he’s too young, but it makes me feel good knowing Autism Rocks is helping make sure KAA will be around when Parker needs their services.” Autism Rocks 12 will take place at The Blue Note Harrison at noon on Sunday, Feb. 28. For the fi rst time, it will be available to both live and virtual audiences. To remain safe and maintain social distancing, in-person tickets will be designated to sponsors and a limited number are available for purchase in advance. Five area bands will perform including: Jelly Smooch, Black Bone Cat, The Stagger Lee Band, Russell Jinkens XL Band, and Due South. Jenn Jordan from Q102’s Morning Show, comedian Jeff Caminiti, and Ken Anderson will serve as emcees. “For those hungry for great live music, it’s worth the VIP price,” comments Kahle. In addition to watching the event in the comfort of your own home, guests can also view performances at “Watch Parties” throughout the area. Currently, there are sixteen local establishments hosting Watch Parties, live streaming the event – some with bands of their own. Watch party locations include: Slatts in Blue Ash, Little River Bar & Grill in Oregonia, McDogs in Colerain, Rick’s Tavern in Fairfi eld, the Knotty Pine in White Oak, and many more. In addition, a virtual silent auction, raffl es, and guest appearances will be featured throughout the day. A complete list of watch parties is available online. Don’t miss this rockin’ good time and help support the important work of the Ken Anderson Alliance. For more information, visit the event website at autismrocks12.givesmart.com.

Major restoration project begins on several SW Ohio rivers Ohio River Foundation (ORF) is embarking on one of the largest habitat restoration project ever undertaken in Southwest Ohio. The project, made possible by a $50,000 grant from Coors Seltzer and its Change the Course partnership, will restore six miles of riverbank along three Ohio River tributaries: The Little Miami River, Great Miami River and O’Bannon Creek. ORF will plant 10,000 to 15,000 native trees and shrubs along those riverbanks. Phase one of the project begins this month and involves harvesting live stakes – taking cuttings from native trees that grow in riparian areas during their winter dormancy. Those “live stakes” will then be planted on riverbanks once the weather warms up in March. “The Ohio River is a source of drinking water for more than 5 million people. But because of pollution from urban runoff , agriculture, sedimentation and industrial pollution, many sections of the Ohio River do not meet water quality standards,” said Rich Cogen, Ohio River Foundation’s executive director. Plants along riverbanks improve water quality by keeping pollutants out of the water and by helping control erosion, thus reducing sedimentation. As they mature, these riparian plants also provide habitat for streamside birds and mammals and create shade that helps fi sh and other aquatic species thrive. “Restoring the habitats along these tributaries will go a long way toward improving their health, and it will reduce the amount of pollution that makes its way into the Ohio River,” Cogen said. Assisting ORF with this project are Great Parks of Hamilton County, Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District, Miami Township, Miami Conservancy District, Anderson Township, City of Loveland, Cincinnati Parks, Colerain Township, and Rivers Unlimited. Volunteers are needed for both phases of the project. Live stake harvesting will take place on: h Sunday, Feb. 28 (10 a.m.-1 p.m.) at Nisbet Park, 126 Karl Brown Way, Loveland, Ohio, 45140 Volunteers, who will be helping cut stakes, should dress for the weather, wear waterproof shoes, bring a mask and follow all COVID-19 recommendations. All tools, including boats needed to access some sites, will be provided. Advance registration is required; for more details, or to sign up, visit www.ohioriverfdn.org. Additional volunteer opportunities to help with spring stake planting will be announced at a later date. For more information, visit www.ohioriverfdn.org. Ohio River Foundation (ORF) is dedicated to protecting and improving the water quality and ecology of the Ohio River and all waters in its 11-state watershed. ORF works towards these goals through environmental education, conservation and advocacy activities that serve to inspire environmental stewardship for the benefi t and enjoyment of current and future citizens. Established in 2000, the organization has reached 50,000 students with its freshwater education programs; restored and reconnected more than 200 miles of rivers; removed four dams; planted 6,000 trees; and removed more than 300,000 invasive plants.

‘Folks, you must remember, this is winter’
Howdy folks, When I am out riding my scooter, the amount of vehicles that have dogs in them is amazing. The dogs stand on the seat with their heads out of the vehicle and some of them will bark at me. Folks that are out walking their dogs will come up to me and are very friendly. I fi nally got my fi rst shot for the virus. The Senior Services bus picked me up and took me over to Bauer Road to the Board of Health. There was a large crowd and the operation was working well. We loaded the scooter on the bus and then I took an elevator to the second fl oor. There were some folks that recognized me and one lady said, where are you going fi shing later. I saw in the Enquirer that hunting season for deer was successful this year with 197,735 deer harvested with gun and bow. This will put a lot of meat on the tables and a lot of jerky. My friend Dan has made deer jerky and said he will bring some to me. Deer jerky is very good. I fi nally got out and went up to Frisch’s for dinner and there was a couple there and they had six children. Their ages were from very young up to probably 10 so they all stood around me on the scooter and the lady took a picture of all of us. I then went back to the Dollar Tree and got more snacks since the weather report is for more snow. The sidewalks were heavy with snow, so I drove with traffi c and it
When I was going to school and we got a big snow, a bunch of us boys would go down below Newtonsville and sled on a hill below the cemetery. One of the fellers would bring a car hood and by golly it would go very fast.

worked fi ne. I heard that Blair Pride has passed away and now he is with his wife in heaven. Blair was always ready to help folks and he will be missed. They were a wonderful couple. Margene passed away on Jan. 10. His funeral will be at Nurre Funeral home and he will be buried by his wife in Tate Township cemetery here in Bethel. I saw my fi rst robin today. It had better have a good coat of feathers. It has been several years since the kids could build a snowman or sled on the hills. The weather forecast for next week doesn’t look good with plenty of snow and more cold weather. Folks, you must remember, this is winter. The Farmer’s Almanac predicted this. Deb will pick me up to go to church today as it will be too cold for me to ride my scooter. People are asking me how many miles I have rode. I don’t have any way of telling, but it is a great vehicle. I don’t know how Deb ever got it, but it is great and I thank her. When I was going to school and we got a big snow, a bunch of us boys would go down below Newtonsville and sled on a hill below the cemetery. One of the fellers would bring a car hood and by golly it would go very fast. There was a little creek at the bottom of the hill and we would try to jump the little creek. When it got cold there was a pond behind the school and several of us would have ice skates and go on recess and skate on the pond. There was a lot of falling, but we fi nally got the ice-skating down. It was a lot of fun. Where we learned to skate was in the basement of the school. The basement was big so we would roller skate down there.

Go to taste on onion and celery.
Guest columnist
Ingredients 1 can salmon (I used pink salmon)
As I write this column, another winter storm is predicted. I took a photo of the outhouse when I went outside to feed the “girls” (chickens). All I can say is, I’m sure glad we’re living today and not years ago when all along our country road, outhouses were essential. So were cook stoves that used wood as fuel. I guess what I’m getting at is even though the pandemic has caused lots of challenges for all of us, including much more home cooking, we still have it easier than folks of a diff erent era. And since Lent is here, it’s a good time to put fi sh on your menu. When was the last time you made diner-style salmon patties? With dill sauce? These were a Friday favorite at our house growing up. Maybe you’re in the mood for a yummy green bean stew which can be vegetarian if you so choose. It’s from a very special friend and creative cook: Helen Sarky, an Anderson township resident. Helen is celebrating her 85th birthday and she has been a wonderful mentor to many of us. Her Lebanese green bean stew is similar to the one that is a sell out at Cincinnati’s St. Anthony of Padua church dinners.
1 large egg, lightly beaten Finely diced onion and celery, about 1/3 cup each ⁄ 2 cup or so Panko bread crumbs or your favorite bread crumbs
1
Pepper to taste Instructions Drain salmon and mix everything together lightly. Form into patties and fry in olive oil over medium heat until brown on both sides. Serve with lemon wedge and/or dill sauce.
Above, diner-style salmon patties are a great main course for a Lenten Friday night.
