50 West is opening a new Burger Bar Polly Campbell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Bobby Slattery and partners have been working on the concept for The Burger Bar for at least a year, and he's not going to let a restaurant shutdown stop him from opening it. The owner of 50 West has wanted a restaurant that ﬁ ts with the theme of what started as a brewpub: The highway that cuts across the United States from DC to California. He saw burgers with toppings themed from every state the highway goes through. Of course, they can't open for sitdown service. But they can do carryout. They opened for a few days, just letting some of their email list know about it, and were so slammed with orders they had to close again. They are revamping procedures, ordering more of their spe-

Little Miami Trail running right past, and a new soccer fi eld opening, as well. Not every kind of restaurant could open in the middle of a pandemic that limits food service to carryout and delivery, but The Burger Bar is well-suited to the current conditions. The menu is hamburgers, chicken sandwiches and hot dogs, along with the required sides like fries and wings. There's a kids menu, and milkshakes and beer shakes are coming soon. There's an online ordering system at www.fi ftywestbrew.com, which will tell you when they're accepting orders. When restaurants are fi nally able to re-open, they can open the seating inside, including a four-top inside their spirit symbol, a VW van. Plus a large beer garden outside near the river and the bike trail. The Burger Bar is located at 7605 Wooster Pike, Columbia Township.

Procter & Gamble donated 100,000 face masks and thousands of bottles of hand sanitizer as novel coronavirus relief through the United Way of Greater Cincinnati, according to a United Way release. To convert P&G’s 55-gallon drums of hand sanitizer from its Lima, Ohio plant into 50,000 smaller bottles, Brain Brew Whiskey of Newtown is donating packaging materials and labor. The donations were scheduled be delivered April 23 at the Urban League of Southwestern Ohio in Avondale. The ﬁ rst 32,000 of the non-surgical grade masks will go to homeless shelters, food pantries, child care centers, senior services groups and other social service agencies vital to the area’s safety net, according to the release. The Urban League of Greater Southwestern Ohio, plans to make its portion of the donation a critical part of supplies for a new Mask what Matters: Protecting our Community initiative for the African American community, according to the release. “At times like these, partnerships are critical,” said Eddie Koen, Urban League president and CEO in the release. “The Urban League and the United Way must double-down eﬀ orts to assist traditionally underserved Black communities." United Way is connecting with 140 partner agencies and other non-traditional partners to support neighborhood COVID-19 relief in the region, according to the release. Brain Brew added additional hand sanitizer from its own production to supplement the P&G donation. The 50,000 bottles of hand sanitizer to 200 organizations in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, according to the release. “Those serving as boots on the ground in this pandemic have communicated personal protection equipment as a top need,” said Moira Weir, United Way president and CEO in the release. “Through our partners, we are able to quickly get masks and sanitizer in the right hands.” People seeking COVID-19 relief can call United Way 211 to talk to a trained professional and connect to services, according to the release.

A NOTE TO READERS A note to readers In keeping with best practices that have been put in place across the newspaper industry, the Community Press is phasing out its youth carrier program and replacing it with an adult delivery force. This decision was not made lightly. The tradition of “paper boys” and “paper girls” delivering the newspaper is a nostalgic part of our history. But in the interest of youth safety, we believe it’s the right thing to do. The change will take eﬀ ect with May editions. In the meantime, please continue doing business with your youth carrier and thank them for their dedication and service. We also thank them for bringing you the Community Press each week and being a vital part of our team. Future editions of your newspaper will include a pre-addressed envelope for mailing your subscription payment.

Frank Harmon worked 39 years in Enquirer library Jeff Suess Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Frank Harmon spent 39 years working in The Enquirer library. He knew every nook and cranny of the newspaper archive, and could dig up any photo or fact – but he provided more than information. “Frank Harmon made all of us reporters and editors better,” wrote former Enquirer TV columnist John Kiesewetter. “Frank could fi nd anything from the Enquirer fi les, past stories or photos … and he was the most cheerful person to deal with.” Harmon, of Anderson Township, died April 12. He was 75. His friends and coworkers remember a man who brightened every day at The Enquirer offi ce, who swapped jokes with columnist Bob Brumfi eld and made everyone feel at ease. “There are few people in the world that were as genuine as Frank,” wrote Mona Bronson-Fuqua, who worked alongside Harmon in the library for many years. “He was as much a part of

my growing up as anyone in my blood family.” Marvin Franklin Harmon was born Nov. 28, 1944, in Danville, Kentucky, and grew up wherever his mom and dad

went, including Italy and Germany, fi nally settling in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. He started at The Enquirer in 1967, in the pre-digital era when every newspaper story was cut out, pasted on cards, indexed and fi led into the rolling drawers of a foreboding card catalog contraption. Former editor Sue Vonderhaar recalled many times going back to the library to check some facts or look for photos. “With his help, I’d fi nd what I needed, thank him and return to my desk. Invariably, I’d look up after a little while and he’d be standing there with a handful of clips, or a folder of photos, and say something like, ‘I went ahead and looked a little further and thought maybe these might help, too.’ He always went the extra mile.” Harmon retired in 2006, giving him more time for tennis, making friends at the court with anyone willing to play, and for family. “Really and truly the grandkids were his life the last few years,” said his wife, Nancy DiMuzio Harmon. “Tennis and

the grandkids – grandkids ﬁ rst.” Frank built his schedule around spending time with his four grandchildren, Dustin, Jude, Mary and Judah. “All kids loved Dad,” said his son, Guy Harmon. “He had humility and sincerity that I think they could immediately feel.” Family gave Harmon strength during his months of illness. His daughter, Kate Braun, a hospice nurse, was by his side until the end. “From day one I was Daddy’s little girl,” she wrote. “There hasn’t been a moment in my life that I have not felt love. Dad had a way of always putting others ﬁ rst, especially his family.” In addition to his wife, son, daughter and grandchildren, survivors include son Jason Harmon; his mother, Virginia Martin; brothers Davis Harmon and Mike Harmon; and sisters Vicki Connelly and Lyda Young. Memorials can be made to the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, 800 Vine St., Cincinnati, OH 45202; or Hospice of Cincinnati, 4360 Cooper Road, Cincinnati, OH 45242.

Mercy Health brings free COVID-19 tests to Bond Hill Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A new fl u clinic recently opened in Bond Hill, bringing to the area free access to COVID-19 tests and fl u screenings. Iris Roley, the board chair of Community Economic Advancement Initiation, said she and others with the nonprofi t worked for about three weeks with Bon Secours Mercy Health, advocating for the expanded access. That work paid off , when the Mercy Health site opened. “I done cried all morning long,” Roley said through a mask in a Facebook Live video. “This is a beautiful thing to see that once you push, your people can get what they so deservingly should have anyway.”

More than 90% of Bond Hill residents are African American, and Roley told The Enquirer she emphasized expanding access to the community given that blacks have died and become infected with COVID-19 at higher rates. She also stressed that the site provides testing to people who may not have insurance but who are working on the front lines, such as janitors and grocery story employees. “We want to make sure for the people who have not had access to testing, who have been exhibiting symptoms, to get a test,” Roley said. Nanette Bentley, a Mercy Health spokesperson, said that the hospital system “has a long history of caring for communities” and that the new clinic will expand access to health services to Bond Hill, Avondale, Roselawn and surrounding communities. Bentley added that not all patients will be tested for COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the new coronavirus.

“Limiting testing supplies mean that certain groups are prioritized for testing, as per CDC guidelines,” Bentley said. Those priority groups include: ❚ Health care workers ❚ Elderly patients ❚ Patients with compromised immune systems ❚ Patients with certain medical conditions ❚ Pregnant women ❚ Patients who live in group settings The Bond Hill clinic will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, for 30 days. Roley said she is encouraging two other health care systems, TriHealth and UC Health, to open similar clinics.

Testing patients pull through a testing facility outside the Mercy Health main building in the Bond Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati on April 22. SAM GREENE/THE ENQUIRER

Clermont County races targeted by pro-Householder super PAC Jessie Balmert

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS - A pro-House Speaker Larry Householder super PAC spent more than $1 million this year to pit Republicans against one another in primary races. The Growth and Opportunity PAC spent more than 40% of that money on advertising in two Republican primaries for the Ohio House of Representatives in Clermont County, according to federal campaign fi nance forms recently fi led. The campaign fi nance records off er a rare look into super PAC spending before a primary is fi nished. Super PACs recently had to fi le with the Federal Election Commission even though Ohio's primary was extended until April 28 because of the novel coronavirus. During the fi rst months of 2020, the Growth and Opportunity PAC spent more than $580,000 on television, radio and digital advertisements in fi ve House primaries. Most of that money, $437,400, was spent on the 65th and 66th district races in Clermont County. The GOP primary in the 65th district, which includes most of Clermont County, has been a nasty one between Householder pick Jean Schmidt, a former U.S. representative, and newcomers Joe Dills and Dillon Blevins. The Ohio Republican Party initially endorsed Dills over Schmidt but pulled that endorsement after news broke that Dills had used a dating site targeted at people who want to cheat on their spouses. The House Republicans' campaign arm gave the Ohio GOP a 116-page dossier on Dills, which included his business and voting records. That dossier was compiled by FAR Public Aff airs LLC. That same group, FAR Public Aff airs, received $40,000 from the Growth and Opportunity PAC on March 2. Campaigns, such as the House Republican Campaign Committee, are not

permitted to coordinate directly with independent expenditure groups. But FEC investigations into violations are rare, according to the Center for Public Integrity. Dills and GOP candidates in the 66th district race – former New Richmond superintendent Adam Bird and Nick Owens, an assistant prosecutor and State Board of Education member – have decried the Republican-on-Republican attacks bankrolled by a PAC outside the county. Schmidt and Householder-backed Allen Freeman, who is running in the 66th district, have said they are not involved in the ads, but they didn't call for them to stop either. All advertising money was paid to Strategic Media Placement, an ad-buying subsidiary of GOP strategist Rex Elsass' Strategy Group, according to the campaign ﬁ nance ﬁ ling. The Strategy

Group also received $34,500 for media production. The House Republican Campaign Committee also uses the same wellknown GOP ad ﬁ rm. The remaining $146,000 in advertising was spent on three races: the 78th district – a primary between Householder-backed Pickaway County Commissioner Brian Stewart and two local Republicans; the 73rd district – a primary to replace Rep. Rick Perales; and the 71st district – a primary that pits Householder appointee Rep. Mark Fraizer against contractor Thad Claggett. The Growth and Opportunity PAC also spent nearly $118,000 on polling and $247,000 on direct mail. Those items weren't labeled by race, but candidates statewide have spoken out against Growth and Opportunity PAC attacks.

Hidden donors During the fi rst three months of 2020, the Growth and Opportunity PAC received seven donations totaling $1,085,000. Six of the seven donations came from the Coalition for Growth and Opportunity, Inc., which is registered to the same Kentucky Republican political consultant who set up the Growth and Opportunity PAC: Eric Lycan. The group is a 501(c)(4) nonprofi t, which does not need to disclose its donors. Another $35,000 came from Ohioans for Parental Choice, a super PAC with a website dedicated to electing Sen. Andrew Brenner. Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – April 17. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates.

Fall Feast is a Give Back Cincinnati program which makes a difference in the lives of neighbors throughout the community, especially the less fortunate, by offering the opportunity for people to unite and share a Thanksgiving meal, receive health checks, haircuts, coats – and books. More than 2,000 books by Adopt A Book found new homes at the event last November. PROVIDED

Hannah and Alex will be presented the award of $2,225 in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the promotion of literacy and reading at a formal ceremony. “Literacy is the ticket to learning, opportunity and empowerment on a global scale,” said Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden in conjunction with the awards recognitions in 2019, expressing the honor of celebrating organizations for their eﬀ orts to advance reading levels and give people the foundation for a better life. As such successful ambassadors of reading, what are Alex and Hannah’s own favorite reads? For Hannah, it’s IT by Stephen King, mystery novels, and any books by John Green. Alex’s favorites include Science Magazine and he reads anything from reference books, Science Fiction and Classics to books on history. “I always have something on my nightstand, ﬂ oor or desk,” he said.

The Loveland nonprofi t Adopt A Book has been announced a winner of the 2020 State Literacy Award by the Library of Congress. The award is bestowed upon 10 organizations across the country that tirelessly work to mitigate illiteracy throughout communities and the world, and rewards them with grant money for exemplary, innovative and “easily replicable” longstanding initiatives toward this goal. Started by current Loveland High School Juniors Hannah and Alexander Laman, Adopt A Book regularly provides books for preschool programs, Cincinnati Public Schools, home-based programming, health clinics and even schools abroad to encourage children to read. To date, Adopt A Book has donated over 165,000 books to more than 100 organizations, schools and programs that serve children in need. “I am very honored and it means a lot to me to be recognized by the largest library in the world for my eff orts in making sure as many kids as possible have access to books,” said Alex Laman upon receiving notifi cation about the award. His sister Hannah agrees: “This award means a lot to me because we were one of 10 recipients from all across the country, so to see that we stood out among many applicants is very meaningful. It is great to not only be recognized for our eff orts, but to also be recognized by the Library of Congress, and to think that we have made a large enough impact on the community to be chosen is great.” Impacting the community is exactly what Adopt A Book has encouraged many others to do. It all started in 2011, when Hannah and Alex as third-graders at Loveland Elementary School decided to “start a business” that would donate reading material after hearing about an elementary school in the Cincinnati area that didn’t have library books or even textbooks for their students. To share their own love of reading, they turned the idea into an incorporated nonprofi t with the help of their parents. For Hannah and Alex, the model is quite simple: they involve other students, teachers, churches and charities, and have reached out to numerous businesses in the area for donations over the years. They run book drives and have expanded their efforts to include fundraising for things like bookshelves, furniture for personal reading spaces, and to create “reading buddies” programs for young children. Adopt A Book was nominated for the State Literacy Award by the Ohio Center for the Book as the one Ohio nonprofi t that best exemplifi es outstanding and innovative contributions to promoting literacy and reading in the local communities. Library of Congress is expected to announce all winners of the Literacy Awards later in the year and

How seniors can stay connected amid pandemic Technology and new hobbies can help older adults feel engaged and improve their outlook Ashley Davidson

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

As COVID-19 continues to spread throughout the globe, there’s another health threat looming for seniors: loneliness. Stay-at-home and social distancing orders can have a signifi cant impact on one’s mental health, especially if they’re already living alone. To help stop the spread of the coronavirus and protect its residents, many independent and assisted living communities around the country, such as The Ashford of Mt. Washington in Cincinnati, began temporarily restricting visitors to its facility. For many seniors, this may be the fi rst time in their lives that they’ve been away from family and friends. Because of this, The Ashford’s caring staff has been working hard to help ensure residents stay engaged and entertained during this diffi cult time when visits by family and friends are extremely limited. The team at The Ashford of Mt. Washington suggested several activities that can help seniors beat loneliness during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis while staying healthy, safe and connected. Read on for the details. 1. Use technology to have a virtual dinner Whether it’s a one-on-one FaceTime session with a child or a larger Zoom videoconference with the entire family, technology has helped Americans stay connected over the past several weeks. Gathering family and friends around a virtual dinner table and catching up over a good meal can be a great way for older adults to feel less lonely. All you need is an internet-enabled smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer, and, of course, the meal of your choice. There are several online services that off er free video chat, including FaceTime, Zoom, Google Hangouts, Skype, Facebook Messenger and Houseparty, among others. 2. Take up a new hobby There’s never been a better time to learn something new, and, who knows, you just might fi nd a new favorite hobby. While many independent and assisted living facilities are able to off er residents group activities that still promote social distancing, seniors living alone can take up solo activities that are practically guaranteed to keep anyone engaged for hours. For those who’d like to test their green thumb, gardening is a great hobby that also allows seniors to enjoy some fresh air. For older adults looking to stay ac-

Technology can help seniors combat loneliness while practicing social distancing. GETTY IMAGES

tive while fi tness centers are closed, many national brands are off ering free online classes with workouts that range from cardio and strength training to yoga and meditation. For seniors who’ve always wanted to see if they have an artistic side, painting or drawing might be the perfect thing to try. You can purchase most of the supplies you need for these activities online, but keep in mind that shipping times may be slower than usual because of the current high demand for delivery. 3. Download new books, or play games online with loved ones Whether you’re an avid reader or would simply like to spend some of your isolation time with a few good books, several online retailers — such as Google Books and Amazon’s Kindle and Audible brands — are off ering free e-books and audiobooks, and many libraries have expanded their digital collections while their physical locations are closed. Playing games online with family and friends is another great way to stay connected while keeping your

mind active and having fun.

Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

One place there’s no worry about social distancing during these challenging times is when my friends, Charlene and Butch Castle and I go foraging for wild morel mushrooms. We start out at the bottom of our “secret” wooded hill. We start out at the bottom of the hill. By the time we reach the top of the hill we have kept our distances naturally – in fact, sometimes it’s hard to catch up. And we check for mushrooms along the way. After a recent hunt, we left empty handed. “A little too early,” Butch said. Charlene noted that the Mayapples and trillium were not yet blooming, another sign that we were a bit early. That was last week. Today I got a note from friend and chef Chris H., who found

morels near his home. That means one thing: I need to ﬁ nish this column so I can call my friends Char and Butch to let them know it’s time… Well, all this talk about morels had me hungry for something, anything with mushrooms. The “something” turned out to be a really yummy pasta dish calling for a blend of wild mushrooms. Nothing like that at my house (at least now) but I had some common, button mushrooms in the refrigerator. Just enough to lend an earthy, ﬂ avorful taste

to this pasta. This recipe originally called for 12 ounces to a pound of pasta. All I had was half a pound. I also didn’t have many mushrooms, but it turned out really saucy and good.

Rita’s Kitchen

⁄ 2 cup cream (optional but good)

❚ Morels grow in the spring. Expensive to buy, a prized wild edible. ❚ A true morel has a cone-shaped cap and sponge-like texture. The cap is ridged and pitted inwards. The cap will be connected to the stem all in one piece. ❚ It’s totally hollow inside from the tip of the cap to the bottom of the stem. It sort of looks like a “morel mold.” ❚ Make sure you have a positive identiﬁ cation. For your ﬁ rst ventures, tag along with an expert. ❚ Not sure? Don’t pick/use. (There is a non-edible morel). ❚ For information and a photo tutorial, check out my abouteating.com site.

While pasta is cooking, make sauce: Heat olive oil and add mushrooms, garlic and half the chicken broth. Cook until mushrooms start to wilt, then add everything else but rest of broth, cheese and parsley. After mushrooms are cooked, add rest of broth and cook until mixture thickens a little. Stir in cream if you’re using it, cook a bit more, then adjust seasonings. Pour over pasta, give it a good shower of cheese, and a sprinkle of parsley or greens. Tips: No red pepper? Use whatever you have.

Sports Closing of Urbana University has local graduates scrambling James Weber and Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

April 21 was a very diffi cult day for Jake Balsley. Within the span of a few hours, the Scott High School senior found out his 2020 baseball season wouldn’t happen after the Kentucky High School Athletic Association canceled the spring sports season because of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Then he found out he would have to fi nd a new place to play college baseball after Urbana University announced it would permanently close its campus, partially because of the pandemic. Balsley is one of dozens of Greater Cincinnati high school products who will have to fi nd a new place to continue their sports careers in addition to their studies. Urbana is an NCAA Division II school located in Ohio about 90 minutes north of Cincinnati near Springfi eld. In addition to high school seniors who had committed to the school, at least 35 local graduates had played for sports programs at Urbana during the current school year and were set to either return next year, or were seniors who had just started new seasons this spring. The NCAA canceled all spring sports programs in March because of the novel coronavirus. “For a kid like Jake, he knows if he loses this season, he has an opportunity at Urbana,” Scott head baseball coach Kevin Goins said. “(Tuesday) was a whirlwind for him.” Balsley and other aff ected Urbana athletes immediately took to social media to promote themselves and try to fi nd a new place to play. Goins said he made multiple calls to coaches on Balsley’s behalf and his senior has quickly drawn a lot of interest. Cincinnati Christian University shut down in October, 2019, putting many locals in a similar predicament. “There were a couple of kids I coached in summer ball that went to Cincinnati Christian,” Goins said. “Those two guys were in mid-semester when they found out the doors were shut. I told Jake at least you’re not leaving for Urbana tomorrow. It’s hard to get that across to a 17- or 18-year old that the sky’s not falling, but he’s adjusting to it.” Balsley, a right-handed pitcher and third baseman, was a big key for Scott last year. He pitched a complete game to defeat rival Campbell County in the 37th District championship game and was set to have a big 2020 for the Eagles. “He’s a kid you could count on every day,” Goins said. “He wanted the base-

ball in his hand, and he proved that in the district fi nal against Campbell County. We had the lead in the seventh inning, and he was at 100 pitches, and he said ‘Coach, I’m fi nishing this.’ He wanted to be a part of something special and it turned out to be. He was a guy we were going to lean on heavily this season.” The Urbana baseball team had 12 local graduates on the roster this year. The head coach is Jake Oester, a Cincinnati native and McNicholas High School graduate who is the son of former Cincinnati Reds player Ron Oester. In the team’s last game of the 2020 season, a 1-0 win at Division I school Akron March 11, Newport Central Catholic graduate Ian Meyer pitched seven shutout innings, and Colerain graduate Marcel Toney provided the only run with a home run in the ninth inning. Chris Carney, a senior from Anderson High School, was the team’s leading hitter in 2019 (.371) and a second-team allconference selection in the Mountain East Conference (MEC). Tyler Dellerman, a St. Xavier graduate, was second on the team in hitting and RBI last year, while hitting a teamhigh nine home runs and earning MEC freshman of the year honors. Monroe High School softball pitcher Alyssa Wagner also had both her fi nal prep season and college team wiped out in the same week. Wagner, the reigning Southwestern Buckeye League pitcher of the year, was 19-2 with a 0.78 ERA and a league-leading 275 strikeouts last season, leading the Hornets to a division championship and a 19-4 record. Wagner committed to Urbana prior to her junior season. 13 months later, she's looking for a new program to call home.

See which local schools changed OHSAA divisions James Weber

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Five Cincinnati-area high school football teams will be in new divisions this fall under the 2020 alignment released Friday by the Ohio High School Athletic Association. The OHSAA also announced new divisional assignments for the upcoming fall sports of soccer and volleyball. Details were sent to member schools following action taken by the OHSAA Board of Directors during their monthly meeting April 22. The Board also approved new regional assignments for football. No divisional changes will occur for the fall sports of golf, cross country, girls tennis and ﬁ eld hockey (one division), as those sports are not aﬀ ected by the OHSAA’s competitive balance process. The upcoming 2020-21 school year will be the second year of the twoyear cycle using base enrollment numbers provided by the Ohio Department of Education in October 2018.

These are not ﬁ nal lists, as school districts with multiple high schools who restructure their districts can make enrollment changes in September. The changes in Cincinnati football all came at Division IV and lower, although there was potential for one major shakeup. Elder’s enrollment of 570 boys put the Panthers into range for moving down into Division II, but the OHSAA kept Elder in Division I under the competitive balance process. Overall, the Division I lineup remains the same from 2019. As do the local entries in Division II, but Region 8 welcomes two new members from outside Cincinnati. McNicholas was moved up to Division IV by the competitive balance process. Roger Bacon moved down to Division V due to enrollment, and Blanchester because of competitive balance. Williamsburg moved up to DiSee DIVISIONS, Page 2B

Tyra James of Winton Woods won Mountain East Conference Player of the Year for Urbana this season as a senior THANKS TO URBANA

Urbana juniors Izzy Helm and Britney Bonno are both Cincinnati products. Helm, a pitcher from Turpin, started 21 games in the circle over the past two seasons. Bonno, a fi rst-team GGCL selection at McAuley in 2017, hit .294 with 42 hits last season. Outfi elder Kaelyn Stenger hit .500 with 18 extra-base hits and 29 RBI last season to lead Little Miami to its fi rst Southwestern Ohio Conference title. She started her collegiate career at Urbana 3-for-15 at the plate before the university closed. The volleyball program at Urbana was led by two Cincinnati alumni. Sophomore Lexi Reinert out of Ursu-

line Academy has been a leader in kills the past two seasons. Courtney Niesen, a junior out of Roger Bacon, is a three-year starter at libero with 1,625 career digs. She was one of 22 individuals honored as a Division II Academic All-American. She was fi rstteam all-MEC and honorable mention all-region last fall, helping Urbana to the conference tournament fi nal for the fi rst time in team history. Tyra James out of Winton Woods was a senior this past season for the women’s basketball program, and was the MEC Player of the Year averaging 24 points per game for the Blue Knights, who fi nished 17-12.

OHSAA cancels spring sports season. Here’s why James Weber

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

In the wake of having to cancel the spring sports season, Ohio High School Athletic Association Executive Director Jerry Snodgrass said they’re planning ahead for fall and exploring options in case the quarantine continues. The OHSAA informed member schools Monday, April 20, that spring sports are now canceled, as Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced earlier in the day that school facilities will remain closed for the remainder of the academic year due to the coronavirus COVID-19. The OHSAA released the oﬃ cial decision. For weeks, the OHSAA has communicated with schools that spring sports would be canceled if school facilities were closed. The OHSAA’s mandatory no-contact period for all interscholastic sports remained in eﬀ ect until at least May 3, which could be extended. Coaches and school administrators are encouraged

to have non-mandatory electronic and online communications with their student-athletes. The closure of school facilities includes all athletic facilities for any interscholastic training, practice or competition. Snodgrass said in a recent press conference his staff did an excellent job planning for the cancellation of winter tournaments, saying that the process of refunding ticket purchases was smooth and effi cient. He expects that planning performance to continue as the OHSAA starts to make the plans for the fall season. Having fall seasons start on time partially will depend on facility availability, which is not under the OHSAA control. School districts and the Ohio government will make determinations on when stadiums and school fi elds will be available. “July is a very physical month for our student-athletes entering fall sports, so we have already started looking at, if this continues through the summer, See SPRING, Page 2B

In Division III, Hamilton Badin and Hughes kept their current spots due to competitive balance after their enrollment dipped to the Division IV range. Summit Country Day, Clark Montessori and Purcell Marian were to move down to Division VI on enrollment but the OHSAA kept them in DV due to competitive balance. In girls soccer, Seven Hills was the only Cincinnati school to change divisions, dropping to Division III based on enrollment. Summit Country Day remains in Division II due to competitive balance after its enrollment dropped to the DIII range. Mariemont and Middletown Madison remain in Division III for the same reason after their enrollment rose to the DII range. In boys soccer, Wilmington moved down to Division II based on competitive balance and Clermont Northeastern moved up to Division II because of enrollment. Cincinnati Country Day drops to Division III on enrollment.

we’ll have the potential of having a lot of kids who haven’t had the physical activity that they would normally have going into a fall season. So for the health and safety of everyone, we have to look at the acclimation periods going into the fall, if that happens. We have to be prepared for that,” he said in a press release. “We’re also talking about that, if this does go through the summer, what is the likelihood that a student can get in to get a physical (annual medical exam)? We have a sports medicine advisory group that is looking at that. They are looking at all aspects, such as whether artifi cial surfaces need to be treated. We are relying on the advice of experts in our decision-making.” He said having shortened fall seasons are a possibility, adding the seasons have to end on a timely schedule, because of winter sports and weather concerns, particularly with football in December. The OHSAA budget is also a current concern. Lost ticket revenue from the state basketball tournaments would have supplied a signifi cant amount of the association revenue. Snodgrass said the OHSAA has no immediate plans for layoff s and furloughs for its staff , and the OHSAA has applied for federal funding under the U.S. coronavirus relief bill known as the CARES Act. Snodgrass addressed the Be the Light Ohio tributes, in which many schools around Ohio lit up their stadiums to pay tribute to the Class of 2020, including many Cincinnati schools. “That just highlights what high school sports mean to our communities,” Snodgrass said. “It shows we’re all in this together.”

Grants Greenhouses are open through May 3 Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist

Howdy folks. The Grants Greenhouses at the farm, on state Route 131 and in Milford, are open April 20 through May 3 with their 20% oﬀ open house special pricing. Due to the virus this year, the Grants decided to have an extended time instead of their normal weekend open house. There also will be no food this year due to the virus. All of the plants are in good condition and they have a great supply. The lady that planted the seeds does a great job. She is very good at planting little tomato seeds and a ﬁ ne person who Danny is lucky to have work for him. I talked to each of the Grants Greenhouses and they are selling plenty of plants. The greenhouse on State Route 131 that planted the tomato plants, said that probably in the middle of May they may have some ripe tomatoes. Paul takes care of them and they should

have cucumbers as well. He does a fi ne job. If you have never raised a garden, now is a great time to do that. You can raise a lot of produce in a raised bed. I use them each year. If you need help give me a call and I will tell you how I put a raised bed together. My telephone number is 513–734–6980. If you have a chance to get any tractor tires that are not being used, cut the ring out by using a shop knife. Then drop that piece of the tire down in the bottom and fi ll with potting soil. You are ready to set tomato plants or other vegetables in the tire and watch them grow and produce. By using a tractor tire or raised bed, if it is going to get frosty or cold it is easy to cover up and the heat from the ground and mulch will keep the plants warm. To hoe and cultivate is an easy task. This is another Sunday I am unable to go to church and I really want to especially since it is at Starlite Drive-in. I don’t know how many cars there were Sunday but that is a wonderful place that they are having the church preaching there. Paula comes down to see me every other day and brings me some food or coff ee. Then Jamie usually brings me some kind of food she makes for them. My

daughter is so faithful coming each morning and evening to look after me. That is so special. As her and Bob her husband stopped this Sunday morning going to the drive-in, he brought the paper in and said, “I thought you would be out making garden.” Then he had a big grin on his face. I would have loved to be going with them to church. Talked to the Boars Head Bait Shop at Afton and they said there were lots of people fi shing and catching lots of crappie, bluegills, catfi sh and other kinds of fi sh. The folks sure like the way they fi xed the launch ramps as it is so much nicer. I talked to Danny Grant and his son Jason has been putting fertilizer down before he starts planting crops. It is still a little cold to plant especially when you plant several hundred acres. That is expensive. Mr. Chester and Miss Chessie are good company. One is asleep on the couch and the other one sleeping in the bedroom. It is amazing when I get something to eat, here comes Chessie. Start your week by praying and praising the good Lord. God bless all... More later...

COMMUNITY NEWS How a local organization is leading the nation in pandemic responsiveness The Cincinnati Sports Club, a locally owned and operated lifestyle club, has spent the last 11 years preparing for a potential pandemic like COVID-19. Their Pandemic Preparedness Plan, a comprehensive outbreak response eff ort developed in 2009, is setting a national standard for emergency facility management, and has other fi tness organizations from across the country reaching out for guidance. “We knew the day might come when the CDC would issue national pandemic guidelines that would require us to change day-to-day operations for the safety of our members and employees,” said Club Facility & Operations Manager Marco Fiorini. “In response to the coronavirus, we initiated the Pandemic Preparedness Plan in late February by focusing on the three D’s: Distance, Density, and Disinfecting. Our team was able to jump headfi rst into execution mode rather than spending valuable time developing a plan as the situation progressed.” The Cincinnati Sports Club’s Pandemic Preparedness Plan was designed for three potential outbreak scenarios: an epidemic or pandemic hits somewhere in the world and Club operations remain normal; an epidemic or pandemic hits the US and the Club operates in a limited capacity; or an epidemic or pandemic hits the tri-state area and the Club closes for business. With all fi tness facilities in Ohio shuttered until further notice, the CSC team is using this time to clean every inch of the Club from top to bottom. All fi tness areas, the Children’s Center, locker rooms, and private changing rooms are disinfected daily with a powerful electrostatic quat cleaner, while all weights, racks, machines, mats, and every piece of equipment are scrubbed inside and out. This down time has also been an opportunity to perform muchneeded maintenance services without disrupting the visitor experience, and deep-cleaning in areas that typically have a high usage has become more frequent. As members of the IHRSA (International Health, Racquet & SportsClub Association), the Medical Fitness Association and the CMAA (Club Management Association of America), the Club has a strong history of being a national industry leader in facility and operations, risk management, staff education, and training. They are tracking pandemic management procedures at clubs that have reopened in Hong Kong and Singapore, and plan to implement new safety procedures focused on appropriate physical distancing, managing visitor density, and constant disinfecting. “Our members, staff , and guests have come to know and trust us for over 30 years, so it’s important that we show our commitment to high standards of cleanliness before, during, and after the state-mandated closure,” Fiorini said. “When things reopen, and people start getting back their daily lives, the Cincinnati Sports Club will continue to be a safe place for healthy, active lifestyles for both families and individuals.” For a full copy of the Pandemic Preparedness Plan or more information, please contact Mary Frank at mfrank@cincinnatisportsclub.com. Now in its 30th year, and locally owned and operated, Cincinnati Sports Club has grown steadily across 16 sprawling acres at 3950 Red Bank Road in Fairfax. It

ProForce Sports Performance brings workouts home with technology and social media ProForce Sports Performance, with locations in Milford, OH and Covington, KY, is fi nding new ways to connect with their clients using technology in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. While they were forced to shut the doors of their facilities at the close of business on March 16 in Ohio and March 20 in Kentucky, the coaching staff been working around the clock to continue to provide the topnotch, custom training programs they are known for to their clients using a variety of other methods and technology solutions. Founder and Performance Director, Kevin Hollabaugh, says, “our athletes and adult clients come to us because of our unique approach, creating custom programs for every individual who walks through our doors based on initial and ongoing evaluations, their goals, and their sport(s). They stay with us because of the culture we have created. Our #PFfamily is tightknit and supportive and we felt it was extremely important to keep that culture alive and well throughout this pandemic.” ProForce has brought fi tness home through daily morning stretching sessions and QuAH (Quarantine At Home) workouts posted on their Instagram Page. They have purposely posted these in a public space to keep them available and free-of-charge to as many people as possible because they recognize the importance of staying active and fi t as we all fi nd ourselves socially distancing. Additionally, they are off ering more structured guided workouts three times a week via Zoom calls. This allows their staff to see their athletes/clients as they participate and provide real-time feedback. It also provides their clients with the feeling of the group atmosphere that classes in their facilities would typically provide. Finally, each Friday, Kevin hosts an Instagram Live session with nutritionist Kelci McHugh, where they give advice, answer questions and talk through issues their clients are facing during this unprecedented time. “ProForce hasn’t missed a beat during these uncertain and frustrating times,” says Beth Ramsey, ProForce client. “Immediately after the quarantine began, they provided daily, high quality workouts to ensure that all of their athletes kept getting stronger. This past week they added live Zoom sessions which has taken the daily workouts at home to a whole new level. My kids and I can all participate and enjoy working with Kevin and all of the trainers — they are truly the best!” ProForce Sports Performance was founded in 2014 by Kevin Hollabaugh and off ers sport-specifi c speed, agility, strength and conditioning training for athletes, beginning at age 8. They also off er comprehensive programs for college and professional athletes as well as adult fi tness training. ProForce has been named one of City Beat’s Best of Cincinnati for the past three years. For more information, please visit proforcesp.com or follow ProForce on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

A self-described crossword “fanatic,” he and his roommate used to solve the New York Times crossword together every day and hang the completed puzzles on the wall.

SCHOOL NEWS Waffles help earn NRHS teacher a WARM honor Waffl es, surprise parties and simply sitting down and talking with students about their day earned New Richmond High School English teacher Michelle Senter the honor of being named the WARM 98.5 FM Teacher of the Week for April 10. Senter was nominated by senior Kailey Wehrmeyer. In her letter of nomination, Kailey wrote: “She has been one of my most supportive teachers I have ever had. She made us waffl es one day just to take a day to relax. Ms. Senter asks us about our day and talks to us about good things happening in her life. Ms. Senter has made it easier for me to talk in front of my peers. She explains things well and truly cares about me and my fellow classmates. She is throwing a surprise party for a student that is moving away. She goes above and beyond the requirement for a teacher. I believe that she deserves recognition for how much eff ort and heart she puts into her job.” Typically, the Teacher of the Week recognition is made in a surprise appearance by WARM-98 staff . Due to the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders, this wasn’t possible but the guidelines didn’t stop the presentation. Ms. Senter was celebrated live on the air. You can hear the presentation here - warm98.com/2020/04/10/ waffl es-made-her-the-teacher-of-the-week/. Ms. Senter will be presented with prizes and a plaque as soon as WARM 98 begins making prize deliveries again, according to station Promotions Director Cindy Patrick. The honor of being named Teacher of the Week was a surprise to Ms. Senter. She said she began to cry when Amanda Orlando, from The WARM Morning Show with Jim and Amanda, read Kailey’s letter. “Kailey’s words truly touched my heart and fi lled me with such gratitude,” Ms. Senter said. The honor came at a great time as Ms. Senter, along with the rest of the world, is navigating her way through the COVID-19 landscape one day at a time. “It has been a learning experience, for sure,” she said. “It has reminded me how much I enjoy being in a classroom surrounded by students. I defi nitely prefer one-on-one interactions with students.” The most challenging aspect of the new “normal,” she said, has been adjusting to online teaching and learning. “I think we were all overwhelmed in the beginning teachers, students, and parents,” Ms. Senter said. “Keeping a routine with all of my students is important, and that fi rst week of online learning felt completely out of routine for me. It took me about a week to fi gure out how to balance everything and to come up with a new routine.” “It has helped me to make a weekly calendar that I share with students and parents. Also frequently communicating with students, whether it’s through Google Hangouts, Google Classroom, or email has helped a lot.” “I miss the daily interactions with my students and

onstrate clean and accurate record-keeping,” said Scot Prebles, superintendent. “I believe Forest Hills School District taxpayers can take pride in the district’s dedication to accountability.” This award refl ects the district’s 2018-2019 audit.

colleagues the most. I love having conversations with my students and coworkers, and that’s what I am really missing right now.” Oh, and about the waffl es, it’s a tradition Ms. Senter introduced last school year with her seniors. “I promised to reward them at the end of the semester after they completed their last major writing assignment, which was the research paper I set up my waffl e maker on a desk, tied on my apron . . . and served up waffl es, bacon, milk, and orange juice,” Ms. Senter explained. “It was a great time! I’m still hopeful that my current group of seniors will get one more waffl e party once we are able to be together again.” Sheila Vilvens, New Richmond Exempted Village School District

Ten high school females have been awarded scholarships through the YWCA’s Mamie Earl Sells Scholars program. The YWCA Mamie Earl Sells Scholarship recognizes female African American senior high school students for academic achievements and qualities of leadership, extracurricular involvement and community service. The YWCA scholarship stands apart from others as it places signifi cant weight on the ability to be successful despite having to overcome signifi cant adversity. The YWCA Mamie Earl Sells Scholarship Fund, established in 1993, provides fi nancial assistance to support the recipients’ post-secondary education costs. See SCHOOL NEWS, Page 10B

Greater Cincinnati Foundation, Cincinnati Black Giving Circle announce $100K in grants to drive racial equity Greater Cincinnati Foundation (GCF), in partnership with its fi rst Cincinnati Black Giving Circle, has awarded $100,000 in grants to four nonprofi t organizations working to address racial inequities faced by emancipated youth, young children and single mothers in our region. These four nonprofi ts will each receive $25,000: ❚ Cincinnati Union Bethel Scholar House, to support onsite case management and supportive services to low-income single parents pursuing a postsecondary degree. ❚ The D.A.D. Initiative, to support and expand a coding and drone program designed to introduce black students to STEM careers. ❚ Ohio Justice and Policy Center, to support legal services for single mothers through community legal clinics and presentations. ❚ Rosemary’s Babies, to provide emergency support for food, housing and transportation for teen mothers. The inaugural Cincinnati Black Giving Circle was formed as a result of GCF’s Giving Black: Cincinnati report, which explored both the rich legacy of black philanthropy in our region and the giving priorities and perspectives of black donors today. It provides hands-on impact, encouraging and leveraging organized giving by black donors to nonprofi ts serving critical needs faced by black residents in our communities.

Cincinnati Black Giving Circle Grant Recipients: Tyran Stallings, Alicia Miller, Tiffanny Smith, Rosemary Oglesby-Henry, Rainie Moody, Bonnie Bobay, Beth Schwartz, Nancy Pryor and Sarah Estes. PROVIDED

“We are thrilled to celebrate the success of this ﬁ rst Cincinnati Black Giving Circle,” said GCF President/ CEO Ellen M. Katz. “The passion and commitment of the members to drive the transformative impact of their generosity is truly inspiring.” The Cincinnati Black Giving Circle’s steering committee met to collectively determine the focus of the grants and to seek proposal requests, which were then evaluated and voted on by the Giving Circle’s members. This Giving Circle was one of ﬁ ve GCF Giving Circles

convened in the past year, generating a total of $352,000 to beneﬁ t 29 nonproﬁ t organizations in our community. GCF will partner in the formation of another Cincinnati Black Giving Circle this year. As the region’s leading community foundation, Greater Cincinnati Foundation (GCF) connects people with purpose in an eight-county region in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. GCF is leading the charge toward a more vibrant Greater Cincinnati for everyone — now, and for generations to come. Adam Behm, Greater Cincinnati Foundation

Cincinnati Library encourages people to quilt for a cause Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Calling all quilters and crafters. The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County is asking people across Greater Cincinnati to join in Quilts for a Cause, a special project to help fund library services. “Anyone can participate in Quilts for a Cause, be they a profi cient quilter or a crafter with felt and sequins,” offi cials said. The fi nal result will be quilts that the Library Foundation of Cincinnati and Hamilton County can auction off to benefi t critical library services and programs, like Homework Help and summer learning activities for youth. “I am beyond excited for this county-wide project. It opens up a great opportunity for customers to participate in an activity at home and off ers a sense of community even though we are physically distant,” Loveland Branch Manager Lesleigh Chumbley said in a statement. “By creating a quilt square, we are able to come together remotely sharing our creativity and support with one another during this unprecedented time.” The library is asking participants to post photos of their squares on social media with the tag #QuiltsForACause. “I look forward to seeing the diff erent materials that will be used for this project. It’s nice to have an activity where everyone is included no matter their skill set,” Chumbley said. For more information, go to blog.cincinnatilibrary.org.
