‘It got ugly’ in Bethel when protests came Counterprotesters responded to rumors of buses, Antifa Dan Horn Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

BETHEL, Ohio – Donna Henson sat on her front porch, as she always does when the weather is nice, and watched dozens of her neighbors walk by with bats in their hands or guns strapped to their sides. They were married couples, friends and relatives, young people and old. All heading up Union Street, toward the center of town. Henson, 78, ﬁ gured they’d heard the same rumors she had, the ones about busloads of people coming to her town to join small Black Lives Matter protests June 14-15 in Bethel. Word was hundreds could be arriving from Cincinnati or Columbus or Detroit. Henson was afraid, and she guessed her neighbors were, too. If they didn’t do something, if they didn’t show up armed and ready, the protests and unrest they’d seen on TV for weeks on far oﬀ American streets could come here, to Bethel, a village of 2,800 in Clermont County. “Everybody had a gun,” Henson said June 16, recalling the scene. “Like a cowboy show.” A movement that had swept into much of the nation’s big cities was about to reach a small town, a rural enclave where the message from demonstrators would be heard not as a wakeup

call or a rallying cry, but as a challenge to a way of life. In Bethel, peaceful protesters would be seen by some as no diﬀ erent than looters and rioters. They represented chaos, the problems of other people from other places. While the protesters called for police reform, complained about racism and criticized President Donald Trump, many from Bethel support the police, say racism isn’t a problem here and ﬂ y

thel who makes arts and crafts. They were met, however, by the much larger crowd Henson had seen from her front porch. Hundreds of them, counterprotesters and curious townspeople, many on motorcycles and brandishing weapons. Some yelled at the protesters to leave, blocked their way when they were See BETHEL, Page 2A

“Trump 2020” ﬂ ags in their front yards. “We just want it to stop,” said Brad McCall, a carpenter and longtime resident who joined counterprotesters. “We got a peaceful town. We don’t want our town destroyed.” As it turned out, there were no busloads of protesters, no invasion by outsiders. Police estimated between 80 and 100 people showed up to support Black Lives Matter, including the organizer, a 36-year-old substitute teacher from Be-

marching and pushed and shoved them to the ground. A man with a Confederate ﬂ ag covering his face ripped up one of the protesters’ signs while the crowd cheered. “I felt like we were walking a gauntlet,” said Lois Dennis, 63, who attended the demonstration with her daughter. Images of the confrontation went viral on social media, in part because few had seen anything quite like it since the protests over the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis began almost a month ago. Suddenly, tiny Bethel was another act in an unfolding national drama. Critics called the town a racist backwater. Fans praised residents for standing up to ignorant protesters. Townspeople, for the most part, were stunned by all the attention. Before this, Bethel, about 30 miles east of Cincinnati, was known mostly as the hometown of Ulysses S. Grant, the nation’s 18th president and commander of Union forces during the Civil War. It also was once a stop on the Underground Railroad, a bit of history some protesters thought made it a logical choice for a Black Lives Matter rally. History didn’t matter much that weekend, though. Counterprotesters complained often that they didn’t understand why anyone would want to protest police brutality against African Americans in a small town like this one. Bethel is 97% white, according to the U.S. Census, and just under 0.5% of the population identiﬁ es as black. “Why bring it to Bethel?” McCall said. “Why not go to Chicago? Look how many black people are getting killed in Chicago. Black people are not getting killed in Bethel.”

Fear and resistance to change Sharon Middleton listened June 16 as McCall spoke in a parking lot not far from the site of the protests the previous days. She was born and raised in Bethel, went to high school here and still lives in the house she grew up in. She thought the demonstrations were a mistake,

but not for the same reason McCall did. “It’s not a tolerant community,” she said. Middleton, who is white, has been living for years with Jon Richardson, an African American man. She said most people don’t give her trouble about it, but some do, including her mother, who hasn’t spoken to her in months. When she read about the local Black Lives Matter protest on Facebook, Middleton ﬁ gured the protest organizers didn’t know her town as well as she did. “They were naïve,” she said. “They think they can put their Black Lives Matter signs up and change people’s minds.” Richardson said he went to the protest and took See BETHEL, Page 4A

some photos, but he said he wasn’t going to carry a sign. Since only a handful of the protesters were people of color, Richardson said, he would’ve stood out and been an easy target if things got ugly. “I live here,” he said. Richardson said he saw neighbors who never carry guns carrying them for the ﬁ rst time at the protest. “A lot of it is foolishness,” he said. For Middleton, the guns and the anger are all about the fear of change. She said Bethel hasn’t changed much in her lifetime and that’s ﬁ ne with most of its residents. “They don’t want change,” she said. Minutes later, Richardson walked over to Middleton, put his arm around her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. “People are just people,” she said. “He just has a little more melanin in his skin.”

‘A sad day for Bethel’ Chris Karnes hasn’t lived in Bethel for as long as Middleton, but he said he’s more hopeful the town’s residents can ﬁ nd some common ground. He moved here with his wife, a native, about 10 years ago and he likes the place. He said his neighbors are friendly, even if they don’t share his more liberal politics. “It’s Trump country,” he said. “You have to learn to live with people’s diﬀ erences.” But Karnes wasn’t encouraged by the response to the protests. He saw people he knew, some better than others, swearing at protesters and trying to intimidate them. He saw punches thrown at a man who did nothing but carry a sign. “You live in a small community like this, you get to know a lot of people,” he said. “I don’t know. It was a sad day for Bethel.” As he spoke, Wayne Sulken, who’s lived in Bethel

coming to town to stir things up. “We didn’t know what was going to happen,” Sulken said. “Are our homes going to get burned down? Are our stores going to get looted? “We heard the rumors they were going to bus them in.” Sulken told Karnes he thought outsiders were behind the protests, namely Antifa, the loose-knit antifascist group Trump has blamed, with little evidence, for protests and unrest. Whoever was behind it, Sulken said, Bethel residents didn’t want any part of it. Karnes and Sulken were on opposite sides of the protest, but they agreed on one thing June 16. Sort of. “The worst thing is the impression the world is getting from Bethel,” Karnes said. “I’d say it was the actions of a few violent individuals.” “On both sides,” Sulken said. “Ahhhhh,” Karnes said, shaking his head. “I thought you might say that.” Before parting ways, the two men shook hands. Karnes walked toward his home a few blocks away and Sulken climbed back into his pickup.

Hope for more conversations, less anger As evening approached June 16, Bethel’s police chief, Steve Teague, responded to a noise complaint about a man with a bullhorn across the street from the Grant Memorial building on Plane Street, where protesters had gathered on previous days. He found an African American man shouting, “Black lives matter” on the sidewalk. He told him about the complaint and asked him to stop. Then the two sat down on the steps, with a few other Bethel residents, and talked about what was happening in town. “Everybody was respectful,” Teague said. “We welcome all of them, as long as they’re peaceful.” And he said most have been. Despite the images circulating on social media, Teague said, most interactions were non-violent and only a few counterprotesters got physical with demonstrators. Teague, a former jet engine designer at GE who

changed careers, has been chief in Bethel for a year. The past few days are unlike anything he’s faced on the job, and he knows it doesn’t look good for the town he’s called home for the past six years. He’s been getting emails and texts from people he’s never met from all over the country, saying things like, “I can’t believe your town is racist.” “Those people have a 15-second clip and they’re judging our entire town,” Teague said. “That’s just not right.” A few blocks away, Donna Henson was on her front porch again, this time watching evening fall on an empty Union Street. It was another beautiful afternoon and she was hopeful it would be a quiet one. She sat next to her boyfriend, Mike Luck, surround-

ed by fl ower boxes and an American fl ag fl apping in the breeze. Her dog, a Pekingese named Goldie, roamed the porch. Henson said she’s been watching the protests on TV for weeks and struggles sometimes to understand why everyone has been so upset for so long. She's lived in Clermont County her whole life and, until now, the protests and unrest have seemed distant, like someone else's problem. “I’ve never been around Black people,” she said. “I just wish everybody could get along.” She said she was appalled by the video of George Floyd being choked to death, but she wants the protests to end. She wants her town to get back to normal, back to the way it’s always been. Erin Glynn and Cameron Knight contributed to this report

Milford's Art Aﬀ aire canceled due to COVID-19 pandemic Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A popular outdoor art and ﬁ ne crafts show held in downtown Milford every September has been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. PROVIDED

A popular outdoor art and fi ne crafts show held in downtown Milford every September has been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Greater Milford Area Historical Society has shelved plans for the 15th Annual Art Aff aire, its primary fundraiser. “This was a diffi cult decision,” Donna Amann, administrator of the historical society, said. “However, the health and safety of everyone involved – artists, attendees,

event sponsors, food vendors, (historical society) staff and volunteers and Milford’s Main Street businesses – cannot be overstated. “We felt this was the only viable solution for 2020,” Amann said. Martha Kleinfelter, chairwoman of the Art Aff aire Committee, said plans are for the event to return in 2021. “We have already set our December planning meeting to get that ball rolling,” Kleinfelter said. “Additionally, the cancellation will allow our loyal sponsors more time to rebuild, after many suff ered fi nancial set-backs due to the pandemic.”

Longtime Milford historical society head retiring Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The longtime administrator of the Greater Milford Area Historical Society is retiring July 1. But Donna Amann says she will be available as a consultant, and a historical society offi cial says the programs Amann established or expanded will benefi t the nonprofi t for years to come. “Donna leaves (the historical society) in a strong position for continued growth, and the society sincerely thanks her for the contributions and leadership,” Sue Radabaugh, president of the historical society’s board of directors, said. “To continue that momentum, an executive director search is underway.” Amann became administrator of the Greater Milford Area Historical Society, which promotes the history of Milford and Miami Township, in 2002. “As an avid history buff , I have thoroughly enjoyed my position with (the

historical society) over the past 18 years,” Amann said. “It was a tough decision (to retire), but it’s time for me to enjoy more time with my family and to pursue a number of personal hobbies.” Amann recently oversaw a successful initiative to raise $60,000 in matching funds needed to secure a state grant for repairs needed at the Promont mu-

seum at 906 Main St. in Milford. The Promont is a 155-year-old Victorian mansion that was the home of John M. Pattison, governor of Ohio from 1879 until 1906. It’s on the National Register of Historic Places and now serves as headquarters for the Greater Milford Area Historical Society. During her tenure as administrator, Amann established a capital account to support the needs of both the Promont and the historical society and launched an initiative to oﬀ er the Promont as a venue that can be rented for weddings, teas and the like. The historical society also uses the Promont for tours, exhibits, a research library and a gift shop. Other Greater Milford Area Historical Society programs established by Amann include the History Readers Book Club, cemetery walks and a Brown Bag lunch series about local history. Amann’s given the historical society a social media presence and helped to make Art Aﬀ aire, the historical society’s

annual fall fundraiser, into a regionally popular outdoor fi ne art and fi ne craft show. “Without a doubt, the Art Aff aire has been a wonderful achievement for the community and the historical society,” Amann said. “This has brought together the best volunteers and community support that any organization could ever hope for.” Amann said the best thing about her job with the Greater Milford Area Historical Society has been the people with whom she engaged. “Most of all, these years have given me the opportunity to meet and work beside some of the greatest people in the world,” Amann said. “This group has made (the historical society) and Promont what they are today.” Anyone interested in applying for the job of executive director of the Greater Milford Area Historical Society should submit a cover letter, resume and three references to sueradabaugh1@gmail.com.

SPORTS Playing ball in Clermont County Midland oﬀ ers a league of their own for displaced Greater Cincinnati baseball players Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

AMELIA - “Papa Joe” Hayden would smile knowing that all three fi elds at his Midland baseball complex were again being fully used in the summer. The man who built a local baseball powerhouse died in 2014 but would surely light a stogey in delight. The coronavirus halted college baseball seasons and pro ball in early March and the high school season was canned before it started. Summer teams called it quits and the Connie Mack World Series, which the Midland Redskins won three straight times, was scrapped. Now, Midland has gathered players and off ered workouts, playing games at the facility while Major League Baseball games have yet to start. Midland general manager Jeremiah Larbes off ers round-robin tournaments for locals who have succeeded at high levels. Just last weekend, a group of former Midland players, whose college or pro teams have been shut down, played in front of a decent crowd, according to manager Dave Evans. The following day, the 18U Redskins, featuring some of Greater Cincinnati’s better players along with those committed to major Division I schools, played a Sunday matinee that might have gathered many fans if publicized. “It’s a great summer for us for development,” Evans said. “Yeah, we’re really unhappy about not having a tournament at the end of the year going to Farmington (New Mexico for Connie Mack World Series). Especially after winning three in a row. But, hey, we’re just giving the opportunity to be out on the fi eld. Heck, major leaguers aren’t even playing.” Among those taking the opportunity to play recently were Cal Conley (West Clermont) of Texas Tech, Adam Schneider (Covington Catholic) of New Mexico, Lane Flamm (New Richmond) of Xavier and Zade Richardson (New Richmond) of the Cardinals organization. Luke Waddell (Loveland) of Georgia Tech, Max Davenport (Walnut Hills) of Lincoln Trail and Cole Ayers (West Clermont) of Kentucky also came to get dust on their cleats. Schneider was slated to play for the Cincinnati Steam after seeing his University of New Mexico season cut down because of COVID-19. The Lobos had scouted the Covington Catholic player while he was playing with Midland in the Connie Mack World Series. “A lot of local college guys came out, so it’s pretty good competition,” Schneider said. “It’s a blessing. A

lot of guys I know from high school weren’t going to play this summer. Summer’s a big deal for us to get the reps in and stay ready.” Those on the 18U Midland team not only lost their high school (and some senior) seasons but also the chance to play in a Connie Mack championship. The Midland opportunity fi lls a void and a hunger. Ethan Kavanaugh of Highlands lost a senior campaign with the Bluebirds and a shot at Mr. Kentucky baseball honors. Kavanaugh will play for the Kentucky Wildcats. “We’re all pretty fortunate to have a summer season,” Kavanaugh said. “COVID really did ruin a lot of people’s seasons in high school and summer. Even, some people’s careers. I’m very fortunate to be out here playing with some good competition. It’s amazing, I feel like I’m in college already.” Devin Taylor of La Salle is just 16 but playing on the 18U Midland team. Among those who have played that early on the Redskins are Barry Larkin, Ken Griff ey Jr. and Andrew Benintendi. Taylor led the Greater Catholic League-South in hitting, home runs and runs batted in as a freshman, but was denied a sophomore season. A lifelong fan of Ken Griff ey Jr, with a lefty swing, Taylor is playing with the best in the area. “It would be unbelievable if I were still at home right now,” Taylor said. “I’d just go crazy. We’re just out here

OHSAA believes fall sports should start on schedule Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS - In a memo recently sent to Ohio High School Athletic Association member school administrators, Executive Director Jerry Snodgrass states his organization remains optimistic that fall sports will begin on schedule. Furthermore, he expects recommendations to be made soon for open opportunities for competitions in contact sports. In the past month, schools have been able to open their facilities for low, non-contact sports and for skills training and conditioning for contact sports. The fi rst workouts were permitted May 26 and schools have gradually been adding dates to the summer schedule. Snodgrass emphasizes that previous guidance documents sent out should not be interpreted as OHSAA regulations. Schools follow rules and regulations of local school districts and current Governor and Department of Health orders. Specifi cally for the fall, golf and tennis events begin in early August, while football and soccer open later in the month. A big question remains who can attend events and how many may be allowed? “While there remain many unknowns and anything may change overnight, communications with the Governor’s offi ce continue to refl ect uncertainty with attendance,” Snodgrass said. “We anticipate guidance on this soon and at the time of this communication, we believe attendance at events will likely follow some of the guidance for fairground for indoor/ outdoor grandstand seating.” The OHSAA recognizes limited attendance could have serious impact on athletic department revenues, but recommends planning for all scenarios. “Nothing, of course, is etched in stone, but most guidance for venues that have plans to reopen so far

show restrictions on attendance,” Snodgrass said. “I would recommend at least planning on diff erent models for this.” Transportation is another issue in how to get teams and marching bands safely to games during new coronaviSnodgrass rus restrictions. “It is way too early to give guidance, but we will provide it as soon as we know,” Snodgrass said. The National Federation of State High School Associations may also have to modify rules to accommodate the impact of COVID-19. A normal 60-second timeout may require more time with recommendations that athletes should not share water bottles or towels. The NFHS Rules Committees are working on necessary modifi cations. According to the Snodgrass memo, recommendations will be going to Governor Mike DeWine’s offi ce soon to permit more opportunities for “contact sports” (football, soccer, fi eld hockey). A current issue is the OHSAA believes school sports should have the same opportunity to safely open that non-school club, travel, youth summer sports have. Many such leagues have begun (baseball, softball) and some use school facilities. “There remains no separate designation between youth/summer sports and school sports,” Snodgrass said. “In other words, whether it is a group of high school players from School ‘A’ playing a baseball game or a Pony League game, they all fall under the Governor’s same orders.” Snodgrass says the OHSAA has communications with the Governor and Lieutenant Governor’s offi ces on a regular basis. They are able to provide input but are not part of the development of guidance. At any rate, the memo was an indicator of the possibility of more opportunities.

playing baseball, doing our thing, playing the sport that we love.” Taylor hopes to add his name to the extensive list of Midland big leaders, but still has two more seasons with the Lancers and is a verbal commit to Indiana. Lauden Brooks missed his junior season at McNicholas and is one of the area’s top inﬁ elders. He’s highly-rated by the Perfect Game and Prep Baseball Report organizations and is headed to Kentucky. For this summer though, he’s Midland blue and gold. “To wear this across your chest means a lot,” Brooks said. “The name is remembered across the country. I couldn’t even imagine not playing. Baseball’s something you rely on. It’s an awesome sport. It would be hard for everybody because everybody loves the game.” To spice things up, in addition to the occasional outof-town teams coming in for a weekend, Midland will hold a draft. There are the older “Big ‘Skins”, and the 18U squad that will be split. The plan is to have the teams play each other for two or three weeks depending on the availability of pitchers. It might not have the pomp and circumstance of a formal tournament, but it may be the best competition the players could see. “Being out here around the kids, it’s what Mr. Hayden would have wanted,” Evans said.

McNicholas taps Oester as next head baseball coach Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

MT. WASHINGTON — McNicholas High School recently announced the hiring of Jake Oester as its next head baseball coach. Oester, a 2005 McNicholas graduate, was a member of the 2004 regional runner-up and Greater Catholic LeagueNorth champion Rockets. He earned allleague, all-city and all-Ohio honors during his prep career. “It means a lot to both me and my family. Many of my relatives are proud Oester McNick alumni,” Oester said. “It is great to be back in Cincinnati and to have the opportunity to lead the Rocket baseball team.” Oester brings an extensive background in baseball as a player and coach. He played three seasons in the Chicago White Sox Organization. He reached Double-A Birmingham Barons before retiring in 2012. He later served two seasons as an assistant coach at the University of Toledo and spent the last four seasons as the head baseball coach at Urbana University. “I am most looking forward to connecting with the people at McNick,” Oester said. “Respect, trust, accountability and hard work are some of the words that come to mind when I think about my approach to building on those relationships at McNick. I still remember the incredible atmosphere in the community.” Oester succeeds Drew Schmidt, who was recently named director of athletics at McNicholas. “Our players couldn’t be any more fortunate to have Jake’s presence in the baseball program,” Schmidt said. “His knowledge for the game is substantial, his experience speaks for itself, and his presence will elevate our program to building champions on and oﬀ the ﬁ eld.”

After months of remote learning, trials remain for students, teachers Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Two months have passed since Ohio schools were ordered to shift to remote learning due to the new coronavirus. Though the academic year is coming to a close, school leaders are preparing for the possibility that remote learning continues in the fall. The method has brought with it challenges for educators and students. Here’s a look at some of the main issues regarding remote learning in K-12 education:

Student participation decreases Cincinnati Public Schools Superintendent Laura Mitchell recently said that the most impactful learning happens in classrooms, where connections to teachers and peers helps students. Mitchell, speaking during a forum hosted by Community Economic Advancement Initiatives, said about 90% of students have been contacted by CPS during the closure. But 7%, or about 2,500 CPS students, haven’t been contacted, according to the district. It’s a problem facing many districts, and it’s getting worse in some places as time passes. A national survey by Education Week published in May found more teachers are now reporting lower student engagement than they did a month ago. To update the contact information on ﬁ le, CPS parents and guardians are encouraged to call the district at 513-363-0123. At Mason City Schools, Superintendent Jonathan Cooper said in a statement that educators have learned new tools and technologies that will translate to in-person teaching when it resumes. But teachers have found it challenging to maintain “high levels of student engagement,” Cooper said. “Remote learning has also posed challenges as we strive to meet the needs of each student. For some learners, in-person time with an educator is what is needed to make meaningful progress towards learning goals,” he added.

Obstacles to learning Vaughn Robison, a senior at Turpin High School, praised his teachers for their responsiveness during the closure, but he said by text that despite completing his remote assignments, he’s “not learning that much.” “...for the most of us we haven’t gotten a lot out of it,” he wrote in a text to this reporter. Robison added that his approaching graduation could be part of the problem, but he also pointed to remote learning as inherently less eﬀ ective. In his math class, “it’s just been more diﬃ cult to lock in mentally as opposed to being in a classroom,” Robison wrote. And in a speech class, presenting over a webcam has not advanced his skills.

“I just feel I haven’t learned anything new from remote learning for Speech class,” he wrote. A 2015 Stanford University study found online charter schools generally had “signifi cantly weaker academic growth“ than in-person charter and traditional schools, though the study listed some caveats to the fi nding. A key aspect to learning, receiving feedback, has been limited by the virus. CPS is not requiring the collection of work to maintain social distancing, said Tianay Amat, the deputy superintendent. But CPS teachers are holding offi ce hours and providing feedback where possible. Mitchell called remote learning the best option given the circumstances, but she views it as inferior to face-to-face instruction. “The most impactful way to instruct young people, especially little kids, is face to face,” she said. CPS is planning multiple scenarios for education in the fall, including a blend of in-person and remote classes.

Teachers, students face tech issues CPS has made learning packets available to all students, distributing them multiple times over the past two months. But while some students can benefi t from supplemental materials online, others cannot. Amat, the CPS deputy superintendent, estimated about 30% of students lack access to technology, including WiFi, computer or iPad. Amat said urban districts have more students who, for socioeconomic reasons, can’t log in. “I would say technology and connectivity comes with a price,” she said, “and if you don’t have the resource ... then it’s defi nitely going to have an impact on what you can do in remote learning.” The district aims to distribute a device to every student without one in second grade or older by September. Once families do have access, improving computer literacy for parents and students is another necessity. Teachers accustomed to face-to-face learning have also faced a “huge learning curve,” Amat said, adding some are new to such platforms like Google Meet or unfamiliar with some virtual learning tools. The district has worked to develop professional development opportunities on the fl y for teachers, as well as a platform for teachers to share ideas and ask questions of their colleagues. “We’re really looking at how we can support teachers increasing student engagement virtually,” Amat said. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, in announcing his decision last month to close schools for the remainder of the academic year, said though the fatality rate is low in children without specifi c medical problems, he considered the spread to teachers and students’ relatives as a result of face-to-face classes.

“That issue continues to remain,” DeWine said last month. “Those are the reasons we have made the decision that our young people will continue to go to school as they are – remotely.” Short- to medium-term school closures haven’t been shown to aff ect the spread of COVID-19, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But long-term closures of eight weeks or more may contribute to preventing spread. However, the CDC analyzed school closures in other countries, fi nding “those places who closed school (like Hong Kong) have not had more success in reducing spread than those that did not (like Singapore).” Even so, school closures should be considered as part of a larger prevention response in communities with cases of the novel coronavirus, the CDC says. Other research, on the eff ect school closures have against the spread of other viruses, has produced mixed results. A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association analyzed the eff ect of interventions such as closing schools on combating the 1918-1919 infl uenza pandemic. The study found that school closures and public gathering bans implemented together had a positive eff ect during the pandemic, which killed at least 50 million people worldwide. Those cities that adopted the two interventions earlier had lower peak mortality rates and lower total deaths. And school closures can reduce attack rates of a virus by up to 40% during a pandemic, according to a study in Nature magazine. But research by the University College London published recently found school closures only play a “marginal role” in containing COVID-19. An international research team found school closures “have only small eff ects in infections with a high reproductive number, such as COVID-19, where children are not the main drivers of infection,” the university said in a news release. The team conducted the research by reviewing 16 studies, including several on a 2003 outbreak of SARS, an earlier coronavirus, and one report on the COVID-19 pandemic. Nine in 10 of the world’s students have experienced some form of disruption to their schooling, the release stated. “Data on the benefi t of school closures in the COVID-19 outbreak is limited but what we know shows that their impact is likely to be only small compared to other infection control measures such as case isolation and is only eff ective when other social isolating measures are adhered to,” said Russell Viner, who coled the research, in a statement. “Additionally, the costs of national school closures are high – children’s education is damaged and their mental health may suff er,” Viner added, “family fi nances are aff ected, key workers may need to stay home to look after children and vulnerable children may suff er most.”

Howdy folks, Paula has a little dog and she brought it down so I could see it. Chester was laying on my lap and when I called the dog over to me, Chester jumped down and wanted out. The dog didn’t pay any attention to the cat. During the night Chester was outside and I heard him start crying so I got up and let him in. He looked in my chair, then ran to the kitchen and I went back to bed. After a while, he came back and jumped on the bed. He may have looked for the dog again. The Batavia food market will open on July 11, so keep watching for it. Bill Sweeney will be there so you can get some good produce along with other folks. I am sure Ed Kulaba will be there also. The bee inspector came to check my bees and found a good hive. He told me that they were being protected by a skunk. This was funny! I haven’t mowed the grass back by the hive so the skunk has plenty of cover and

protection. The skunks like to get by the hive and when the bees leave they will catch them and eat them. Paula‘s little dog is a beauty. She really likes it. She gets up at 6 a.m. to take it out each morning. I think that she then goes back to bed for a little while. Paula said the mother deer got the little one back with her. The doe now knows where the little one is laying. The Living the Word Church here in Bethel is having one service each Sunday at 8:30 a.m. at the church on Plane Street and then at 10 a.m. will go down to the StarLite Drive-In for the other service. I think everybody likes the service there. I was told there will be a special program held there in the coming days so you might check with the person that owns the StarLite Drive-In. The kitchen of hope will be bringing me a meal this Saturday. I sure appreciate them bringing me a meal. They will serve about 65 people by passing out food in the parking lot. The folks stay in their car and drive up to the canopy area of the church. The O.V.A.M. membership meeting this year will be held without the meal due to this virus on July 12, at the showgrounds at 8803 Winﬁ eld Rd., Georgetown at 1:30 p.m. This year they will be featuring John Deere from 1927, 1935, 1947, 1954 and 1963. This is one of the

best shows you can ﬁ nd. Last year, they had a record attendance and equipment for the show. There are people and equipment there from all parts of this country. When the show was at the fairgrounds in Georgetown, the Grange served food. Ruth Ann and I took our camper up there to serve beans, corn bread and other kinds of food. They have one of the best craft shows and plenty of good food. There is a wide variety of old equipment and old vehicles including saw mills, cement mixers, hit and miss engines and something new this year the Great Lakes Timber Show. These 30 to 45 minute long shows feature chainsaw carving, axe throwing, wood chopping, and one and two man cross cut sawing, so don’t miss this event. They will be performing three shows on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Now Mr. Chester and Miss Chessie are doing ﬁ ne. Both of them are outside today. They eat their cat food each morning and then are ready to go outside. What a joy they are. Start your week by praying and praising the good Lord. God bless all... More later...

COMMUNITY NEWS Local aquaponics farm fi rst to become Certifi ed Naturally Grown in region Roothouse Aquaponics became the fi rst farm in Clermont County to become Certifi ed Naturally Grown, and Ohio’s fi rst aquaponics farm in the program. Farmer Michael McGraw earned certifi cation after demonstrating natural growing practices, in a peer-inspection conducted by fellow aquaponics grower Kevin Savage at the Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy. Aquaponics combines aquaculture (raising fi sh or other aquatic animals) with hydroponics (growing plants in water) in a bacteria-mediated symbiotic, closed-loop, system. The waste produced by aquatic animals is converted by benefi cial bacteria into nutrients that the plants can absorb. In turn, the plants purify the water before it is returned to the fi sh. “We joined this certifi cation program to help affi rm and certify our eff orts to grow food the right way. The CNG movement is of great value to Roothouse and other farmers who want to do the right thing every step of the way until our product meets your plate,” says McGraw. Certifi ed Naturally Grown (CNG) is a certifi cation program for farmers and beekeepers who use natural practices, without any synthetic chemicals or GMOs, to produce food for their local communities. “Many producers are drawn to CNG because our peer-review inspections foster valuable connections and knowledge exchange among farmers who share a commitment to high standards for farming in harmony with nature” says Alice Varon, Executive Director of CNG. Roothouse Aquaponics is proud to join this international movement of nearly 800 family farmers across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. When asked why sustainable growing is important, McGraw says, “Simply, it’s the right thing to do. It may be a bit more complicated to grow with this method, however the many benefi ts are worth it and every customer can taste a diff erence!” McGraw has been growing food and raising aquarium fi sh since his early teens. “My deep interest and passion for growing plants expanded over the years as I began designing and building my own hydroponic systems for growing greens and herbs. Eventually I married the two elements of fi sh and plants to try aquaponics. To my amazement, it worked so well that I dug deeper into education opportunities to learn more,” shared McGraw. McGraw also saw aquaponics farming as an effi cient, sustainable way to grow healthy food for the Cincinnati community. “After my initial studies, I realized the true value of aquaponics to grow and produce a superior product to that of soil farming or even hydroponics, while being extremely environmentally friendly,” says McGraw. Eventually, he started planning Roothouse Aquaponics in 2017 while still working as an audio and video producer in Nashville, Tennessee. The benefi ts of aquaponics farming go beyond healthy food, and they are numerous – you can grow year-round, minimize the physical footprint of farm-

ing, and maximizing the use of natural sunlight with minimal artifi cial lighting. What’s more, in the closed loop system of water to fi sh to plants, aquaponics production can essentially be a zero-waste farming method. “We use purifi ed and sterilized rainwater harvested off the roof of our greenhouse. Our growing method produces near-zero waste. I love what I do and we have an amazing team at Roothouse thus far.” You can fi nd Roothouse Aquaponics produce around Cincinnati at The Roothouse Greenhouse, Madeira Farmers Market, Mariemont Farmers Market, and downtown Cincinnati at Findlay Market through ETC Produce and Provisions.

OHSAA moves girls basketball tourney to SW Ohio Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The University of Dayton Arena will host the Ohio High School Athletic Association girls basketball state tournament for the next three years, OHSAA Executive Director Jerry Snodgrass recently announced. Having hosted 125 NCAA basketball tournament games, UD Arena has been the home court for March Madness more than any other facility in the country. Renovated in 2019, UD Arena has a seating capacity of 13,000 and has played host to many OHSAA basketball tournament games, along with Atlantic 10 Conference and NCAA tournament games. During the regular season, it is the home of the very successful University of Dayton Flyers women’s and men’s basketball teams. “We are very excited to sign a threeyear agreement for our member schools to experience UD Arena,” Snodgrass said. “Southwest Ohio loves and supports basketball and the people at the University of Dayton have made it clear that they really want this state tournament on their campus. We believe that we have found a great home for the girls

basketball state tournament.” UD Arena recently completed a transformation project that was the largest construction eﬀ ort in the university’s history. It is regarded as one of the nation’s premier basketball facilities to go along with fan support that consistently ranks among the best in college basketball. In the 45 years of the OHSAA girls basketball state tournament, it has been hosted at The Ohio State University 44 times (all but 1986 when it was hosted at the University of Akron). However, there are now a limited number of dates available to use OSU’s Jerome Schottenstein Center or St. John Arena in March. "I'm just happy they're moving it around," Mount Notre Dame coach Dr. Scott Rogers said. "I think it's great for the state. I was waiting for them at some point in time to rotate the ﬁ nals. Obviously we have nothing against Columbus, but there's fans that want to watch great games but can't get up there for a reason." Should you want to put an early entry into your GPS, the address is 1801 Edwin C. Moses Blvd. Lakota West head girls coach Andy Fishman recalls being there in 1997 for regional action against Mason when there was just one Lakota High School.

"UD has an amazing fan base and I think from a University of Dayton perspective, it's a great coup," Fishman said. "Lakota West has had some talented players play at UD. We're obviously familiar with the campus and the facilities playing there in the summers." For Greater Cincinnati schools, it should cut down an hour and change on their bus rides as UD Arena is 74.5 miles

from St. John Arena in Columbus. The 2021 girls basketball state tournament is scheduled for March 11-13. The 2021 OHSAA boys basketball state tournament will be played at St. John Arena March 18-20. There is currently no host site in place for the boys basketball state tournament in 2022.

SCHOOL NEWS Bryan Sauter of Batavia/Great Oaks named national business student of the year On May 20, Business Professionals of America (BPA) announced their National Secondary Student of the Year. The honor went to Batavia High School senior Bryan J. Sauter. In a typical year, Bryan would receive the honor on stage at the National Leadership Conference in Washington, DC. The week after, he would walk with his classmates during graduation in NKU’s BB&T Arena. But it’s not a typical year. Instead, on May 20th Bryan walked into the gym alone to receive his honors diploma with ten family members watching. A few hours later, he found out he was selected as Student of the Year via YouTube during BPA’s National Leadership Celebration. Instead of focusing on the things he missed out on, Bryan focused on what he gained. His teacher and BPA chapter advisor Angie Kovacs said this is typical of Bryan and that he has set the bar for future students in terms of leadership and character. According to Kovacs, “The words that come to mind when describing Bryan are honorable, respectful, humble, funny, trustworthy, dedicated – the list can go on and on. He is an exceptional young man.” BPA is a co-curricular career-tech student organization that helps students develop leadership, academic, and technological skills to become leaders within their workplace and community. Through the Workplace Skills Assessment Program, Sauter qualifi ed for state competition in the banking and fi nance category. He competed nationally in Anaheim, CA, in 2019 and would have competed nationally again this year as the state champion in his event. Bryan has an impressive resume. He held several leadership roles during his high school career, including treasurer of his BPA chapter, president of the National Technical Honor Society and the National Honor Society, and captain of both the wrestling and soccer teams. He was a member of the inaugural Batavia Chick-fi l-A Leader Academy and a Batavia Rotary Club Student of the Month. His commitment to community service is equally impressive. Sauter recently earned both the U.S. Presidential Volunteer Service Medal and Ambassador Torch Award for his dedication to school and community service. Sauter will attend Indiana U. majoring in computer information systems. Jon Weidlich, Great Oaks Career Campuses
