Early tip helped Jungle Jim’s prepare for the pandemic

Alexander Coolidge |Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

ungle Jim’s International Market is a Cincinnati area icon with a devoted following that attracts shoppers from all walks of life - foodies, amateur chefs even the occasional admirer dressed for the apocalypse. Like many grocers, the retailer with two locations – one in Fairfi eld, the other in Eastgate – Jungle Jim’s has had to adjust to the coronavirus pandemic. It cut its hours to double-down on cleaning, limited customer traffi c, set aside early hours for older customers and generally saw its business go bananas as both loyal and new customers stocked up. Unlike most grocers, offi cials at Jungle Jim’s, stresses imports and international fl avors. Company offi cials credit its segment of loyal Asian customers with tipping it off as to how bad a pandemic might get and took strides to prepare. The Enquirer recently caught up with Phill Adams, the local company’s director of development. Here are highlights of the conversation: Question: How did Jungle Jim’s handle the runup to the pandemic? A: Since we are an international market, customers tipped us off in late December/early January. They started wearing masks, shopping earlier and more often, and purchasing large bags of rice and shelf-stable items. The Asian categories were growing off their charts. With that information, we started to put the task force together in early January, preparing our management, buyers, and staff . It was a gradual buildup…. Q: What were the early days of the shopping frenzy like? A: (Starting in late February), customers were leaving work in a panic and hitting the stores. The panic and the fear in the eyes of our customers was something we’ve never experienced. Thankfully, everyone in the company jumped into action and took care of business. Employees realized that it was real and did a fantastic job... Like a lot of our customers and fellow employees, I served in the military. While in the Army, I was assigned to a combat artillery unit. I never dreamed that our NBC training (nuclear biological chemical) would be used while working in a grocery store. Q: How many of your customers are wearing masks? A: At this time, about 75% of the customers are respecting the other customers and our employees. Q: Do you see supermarkets being able to relax safety standards anytime soon?

A: I am on the Ohio Grocers Association Board and formerly the chairman of the board. Most of us do not expect this to relax anytime soon…. it will change how grocers do business forever. Q: Has panic-buying subsided a little yet? A: Panic buying has subsided; however, substantial purchasing is still in place. People always fear the supply chain issues, and families are eating three meals a day, seven days a week at home. Before this, most would eat lunch at work or school. Dinner may have occurred at home one or two nights a week, in between their activities. So, the entire burden has been put on the grocers to have enough food during the pandemic. Q: How much are sales up or down since this crisis began? A: We have seen a considerable increase, but we do not disclose ﬁ nancial numbers. See JUNGLE JIM’S, Page 2A

A new Instagram account recently posted that the “Kings Local School District has a problem.” More posts followed, each one a simple block of text written by unnamed students, recounting story after story of hate in the school district and, in some cases, a purported lack of action taken by school oﬃ cials. The “Dear Kings Local” account, which amassed more than 600 followers in less than a week, is one of dozens created in recent days from districts in the area and around the country. Implicit in the messages are students’ pleas to school oﬃ cials to better address racism, homophobia and other forms of bias. “I’m constantly called exotic and regardless of my intelligence, I’m never taken seriously,” one post states. “Why has the principal, who used the n word against us, not been reprimanded,” another says, in one of multiple references to incidents that The Enquirer previously reported. Another post references racist jerseys worn by a youth recreational basketball team comprised of Kings students in January 2018. The administrator of the account, who did not wish to be named but is a former student, wrote in a private message to The Enquirer that the sole goal is to bring lasting change to how the district addresses discrimination. “Kings is not a bad school or a bad place and has numerous great teachers, great administrators and great students,” the person wrote. “The problem occurs when those great people remain passive while discriminatory acts are reported to them and occur before their very eyes.” Students at Milford Local Schools have also taken to Instagram to voice their indignation with the status quo. One person who wrote they graduated in 2018 said they didn’t experience harsh racism but instead was called “the whitest black kid” and “oreo.” “Sometimes it’s not always the See SCHOOLS, Page 2A

Daycares sue state oﬃ cials over pandemic restrictions Former Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton, interim director Lance Himes named in suit Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A lawsuit fi led June 23 on behalf of 40 daycare centers across Ohio calls for an end to “unlawful pandemic regulations,” offi cials said. The complaint, fi led by 1851 Center for Constitutional Law, states there have been no child deaths due to the pandemic in Ohio, “apart from those caused by the policies” put in place by former Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton, interim director Lance Himes and the Warren County Health District. The Ohio Department of Health issued an order on May 29 regarding the reopening of child care and day camp facilities. Classroom occupancy was capped at six for infants and toddlers and at nine for preschoolers and schoolaged children. In the lawsuit, these restrictions are described as “arbitrary” and “unlawful.” “Defendants continue to obstruct rather than advance Ohioans’ physical and mental health, all the while having continuously overinfl ated the risk of harm to the general public,” the complaint reads. The case is pending in Warren County before Judge Timothy Tepe, the release states. This is not the fi rst time Acton or the Department of Health have been sued over COVID-19 safety regulations. Lake County Common Pleas Judge Eugene Lucci wrote that Acton “has acted in an impermissibly arbitrary, unreasonable, and oppressive manner” after 35 gyms, fi tness centers and health clubs fi led a similar suit in May. Acton was sued again in June by two Ohio music festival organizers who claimed she was violating their First Amendment rights with her statewide ban on music festivals.

They did not wish to be named but wrote, “We demand change in our schools, and we demand it now. ... We will continue to boost the stories of our peers, and we will not stop until we see proper action taken by the school.” Milford Superintendent Nancy House, in a statement, thanked those students who have told stories of encountering discrimination. “We are deeply sorry. We can and will do better. We know there is still work to do,” House said, adding students can anonymously report acts of violence or hate to the district’s “Stay Safe Speak Up” hotline. Milford school leaders have participated in a cultural competence program in the past. The space on the Kings

This time, Ohio daycares claim that by limiting the number of children allowed in their facilities, they are unable to serve families who may need daycare services more “than ever before.” “The Ohio Constitution protects Ohioans from unelected government administrators attempting to override statutes passed by elected representatives, no matter what the rationale,” 1851 Center executive director Maurice Thompson said in the release. “These regulations are particularly pernicious because they limit child care options for parents needing to return to work, dramatically raise the costs of these options, and threaten to bankrupt Ohio daycares.” The complaint document asks the court to prohibit health departments from enforcing group, ratio and room limits and to enjoin the defendants from retaliating against or penalizing daycares for non-compliance of the

state’s order. The following daycare businesses are listed as plaintiﬀ s in the lawsuit and together own and operate 40 daycare locations throughout Ohio: i Kaiser Daycare Inc.

customers found us because social media had pictures and text about the quality and quantities of items in both locations. Customers have shifted from the traditional grocer to Jungle Jim’s during this crisis, trying new things. Millennials learn to cook from scratch, while others are returning to cooking from scratch and enjoying it. Customers are not as concerned about the brand or where they ﬁ nd their item in the store. Pasta could be in the American grocery section and Italy. They have started exploring new and exciting products from the international categories. They no longer fear items because they cannot pronounce it.

Instagram account was initially reserved for Black, Indigenous and other students of color, but some white students have also added their voices. Students are urged to avoid speculative accounts and instead share personal ones. “People were being racist to my friend but I couldn’t get the courage to stick up for him,” wrote one student, adding the “class of 2024 is bad, really bad.” Kings offi cials have responded to the account. “We hear you,” the district wrote Monday. “We defi nitely need student voice and would love for present and past students to be a part of eliminating racism, hate and bias in our schools.” In a statement to media, Kings Superintendent Tim Ackermann said offi cials have read each Instagram post and “are heartbroken for the experiences of our students. There is no place for this type of behavior in our schools.” Over the past three years, all Kings staff members have participated in training to learn about concepts such as implicit bias, awareness and diff erent cultural

practices. “Yet even with those eﬀ orts, we don’t always know what to say and we don’t have all the answers so we must invite our students to talk and ask questions to build a better understanding about racial issues,” Ackermann said. “We will ... create a committee of students to help us build a better awareness of racism and, most importantly, work together to understand our own bias.” Some posts include details of teachers’ purported conduct. One post

states a teacher joked about a transgender student, Leelah Alcorn, who had taken her own life. Another states that after a student “screamed” the N-word, a teacher “claimed that she didn’t hear it.” Some of the posts are embedded in this story at Cincinnati.com, and all can be found on the Milford and Kings Instagram accounts. The Enquirer did not identify any similar accounts from other local schools, though they may exist.

Local Boy Scouts group discussing status of Schott’s name on building, lake Cole Behrens Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The local Boy Scouts of America organization is weighing the status of controversial philanthropist Marge Schott’s name on several of its facilities, including its headquarters in Evendale and a lake near Loveland. Dan Beard Council CEO Andy Zahn told The Enquirer on June 23 the Boy Scouts abhor racism and are deciding what to do about the controversial former Reds owner’s name on a lake at Camp Friedlander and The Marge Schott Scout Achievement Center in Evendale. “The Dan Beard Council is actively listening to our Scouting families and the community, and we are discussing the right path forward with our board of directors,” Zahn said in an emailed statement. Zahn did not oﬀ er more details or a timeline. The move comes as other Greater Cincinnati organizations jettison Schott’s name due to her record of racist and bigoted remarks. The Marge & Charles J. Schott Foundation gave $2.5 million in 2005, after Schott’s death, toward the construction of the achievement center, according to the Dan Beard Council website. A conference room in the center was also named in her honor, and features photographs of her. “Pictures of Marge Schott and her involvement in Scouting, including Camp Friedlander’s Lake Marge Schott, remind us of her commitment and generosity,” the website states. Schott, a Cincinnati native, became the owner of the Reds in 1984 and was banned from managing the team from 1996 through 1998 after making statements endorsing former Nazi party leader Adolf Hitler. During her tenure as owner, Schott made slurs toward African-Americans, Jews and persons of Japanese descent. Schott agreed to sell her controlling interest in the Reds in 1999. Schott died in 2004.

Marge Schott Scout Achievement Campus is located in the Village of Evendale off Reading Road. LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER

Several other Cincinnati institutions have opted to remove Schott’s name from their buildings. The University of Cincinnati Board of Trustees announced June 23 they were removing Schott’s name from the baseball stadium after several baseball alumni, including Kevin Youkilis, petitioned the university to remove the name. Saint Ursula Academy, a Catholic school in East Walnut Hills, announced earlier in June that they were removing her name from a science wing and a stadium named after her dog. The Marge and Charles J. Schott Foundation released a statement Tuesday, saying they support the organizations who remove her name. “While we cannot make excuses for the rhetoric made by Mrs. Schott decades ago, we can ask you to learn from Mrs. Schott’s mistakes as well as her great love for Cincinnati.” Keith Jenkins contributed to this report.

How TQL keeps the nation’s supply chain moving forward Jessica Levy Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

As an essential business keeping the country’s supply chain moving forward, Total Quality Logistics (TQL), the second largest freight brokerage fi rm in the U.S., has embraced its important role during the COVID-19 crisis. Even with more than 90% of its employees working remotely during the height of the COVID-19 crisis, the company was able to remain 100% operational and helped increase capacity in strained parts of the supply chain through the delivery of critical supplies and goods throughout the pandemic. In the fi rst eight weeks of COVID-19, TQL arranged and donated the transportation costs of more than 1,000,000 pounds of food, medical equipment and other goods worth more than $1,000,000 to foodbanks, hospitals and even a Navy ship supporting relief eff orts. Still going strong to meet demand, TQL is actively hiring and moving ahead with plans to expand the company’s Cincinnati headquarters. Construction of a 120,000-square-foot building adjacent to the current headquarters remains on track to meet the company’s expected December completion date. “The company’s growth and leadership position in the industry is the result of our employees’ unwavering work ethic and commitment to exceptional service,” said TQL President Kerry Byrne. “This is the backbone of TQL and a key driver in our headquarters’ expansion.” Even before the coronavirus crisis emphasized the important economic role of expert freight movers, TQL has consistently been recognized as a company on the rise. Not only is TQL the largest privately held company in Cincinnati, but it also earned a spot on the Inc. 5000 list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. With revenues of $3.4 billion, TQL is one of only fi ve fi rms to make the list for 14 straight years. TQL’s culture has also received wide

recognition. This year, for the second year in a row, TQL was listed as one of Fortune magazine’s 100 Best Companies to Work For, and this is the 11th consecutive year that the company has been on the Cincinnati Enquirer’s Top Workplaces list. By treating its employees right, the company enables them to also treat its customers right. TQL takes a high-tech, high-touch approach to customer service, off ering integrated technology solutions, a highly personalized singlepoint of contact, or a combination of both, depending on the customer’s needs. “We believe customers benefi t from a hybrid of digital and person-to-person account management. This is consistent with how our customers want to do business,” Byrne commented. Outside the workplace, the company also provides opportunities like the TQL Athletics program. Employees get fi nancial assistance for joining a variety of sports leagues, such as bowling and sand volleyball, and are also given company branded shirts to represent TQL in their community. As TQL has grown, so has its commitment to giving back to the community. TQL matches employees’ charitable donations not only during its annual giving campaign but year-round. Last year, 82% of employees participated in its annual giving campaign and separately raised more than $940,000 for charities. Employees don’t just donate money, they also off er their time. In 2019 alone, company employees logged more than 6,000 hours volunteering in the local communities where they live and work. In addition, company leadership has prioritized its support for health care organizations, making a $1 million commitment to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Proton Therapy Center and raising $100,000 for the American Cancer Society during TQL’s Cancer Awareness Month last October. “We are fortunate to be able to positively impact the communities in which we live and work,” Byrne observed.

VIEWPOINTS The Bethel I know has been mislabeled as racist Your Turn Ben Hurst Guest Columnist

First, let me say what a shock I encountered as my wife picked me up from the hospital Monday (June 15) afternoon. When we got home and turned on the television to watch the evening news, we found the little, sleepy, country town of Bethel in an uproar. My wife and I couldn’t believe what we were seeing. So, naturally, I got on the phone to try and ﬁ nd out what was going on. But, let me back up for a moment. The reason it was such a shock is because when we came to Bethel, where I have had the privilege of being a pastor for 20 years at Northside Baptist Church, I have not witnessed any kind of racist comment publicly or privately. And while there are only a few African Americans in Bethel, I have never witnessed any mistreatment or slanderous statements being made. There may be some who live there who are prejudiced, but that could be said of every town in America, and that goes both ways. Case in point: as a kid growing up, when we picked apples and put them in a basket, we only threw out the bad apples; we didn’t throw out the good ones. As my dad used to say, "You don’t throw out the baby with the bath water."

“Small town, big heart” is painted on the window of the Treehouse Learning Club in Bethel on June 16. AMANDA ROSSMANN / THE ENQUIRER

This is the only town I have ever seen where all the diﬀ erent churches worship together at certain times of the year, and the pastors take turns preaching. Who does that? The town of Bethel does that! This little peaceful, God-loving town sadly has been mislabeled as racist, and that’s not fair. Unfortunately, sometimes the media can play into this. The people of Bethel had two

fund raisers for me when I was in a bad car accident leaving me paralyzed. They’ve also done this for others. "Empower Youth," founded by Lori Conley and continued by Scott Conley, pack around 750 healthy meals for any kid (regardless of race) to take home for the weekend depending on the need. Robin Scanlan at "Shepherd’s Place" provides a safe place for kids to come after school, where they can get food

and tutoring as well as recreation. Life skills are taught and, yes, the Bible. Both groups collect and provide school supplies for the local kids. Space does not permit me to include all the wonderful things made possible because of the generosity of the people in the community of Bethel. Ben Hurst is a pastor of Northside Baptist Church in Bethel, Ohio.

Gosh, this week I’m having a hard time deciding what recipe to share. Will it be black and red raspberry jams? With this latest rain (thankfully) my berries are ripening fast. Or classic cherry bounce made with black sweet cherries? A good for what ails you “potion” and a lovely liqueur. Cherries are in season and I’ve gotten several requests to share that recipe again. If I’m going strictly by the number of requests, though, you want my totable orzo salad more than the jams or liqueur. I’m thinking that’s because July 4 is around the corner. Take a moment won’t you, and be mindful of the abundant blessings of living in this country. Yes, we’re living in challenging times. But we have love, fellowship and caring

along with amazing food. Good reasons to gather and celebrate this holiday. This orzo salad is the perfect “go with” for a summer meal. No worries, though, about the jams and cherry bounce.

LOST OLYMPICS

40 years after the 1980 boycott, athletes headed to the Moscow games look back James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Forty years is plenty of time for anyone to gain perspective on the greatest disappointment of their competitive career. Glenn Mills found peace almost immediately when his dreams of winning an Olympic medal were cut short by the U.S. boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, a response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Mills was in line to win a medal in the 200 breaststroke there. He won the U.S. Trials and was ranked third in the world at the time. Mills, a Finneytown High School graduate and former Cincinnati Marlin now living in Arizona, never got a chance to compete in any Olympic games after failing to qualify for the American team in 1984. “The boycott is still sad, the whole thought of it still lingers,” he said. “It wasn’t the worst thing that ever happened to me. It’s the perspective I’ve had in my whole life.” Swimming became Mills’ life after his older brother, Kyle, lost his while they were in high school. Kyle had won an OHSAA state championship in the breaststroke before being diagnosed with cancer. Glenn made it a mission to follow in his footsteps and found out what swimming really meant to him. “I promised him I would win the state championship,” Glenn Mills said. “At that point, I would try to induce as much pain as possible, take out my frustration and anger in the pool. It started to change who I was, what kind of person I was. When you’re suﬀ ering emotionally, and you’re swimming, you can’t induce too much pain. You can’t do anything to anybody else and you can’t hurt yourself because the water protects you and doesn’t let you move too fast. Swimming was such a big outlet for me. It saved me and taught me who I am.” During this time, Mills moved from Cleveland to Cincinnati, where Glenn joined the Cincinnati Marlins and became one of the club team’s top talents. He qualiﬁ ed for the Olympics while he prepared for a collegiate career at

Alabama, where he was an NCAA champion in 1983. Then came the news that the dreams of all American Olympians were going to be put on hold. Many, like Mills, wouldn’t get another chance four years later. Mills called it a double-edged sword, that 1980 Olympians are ironically remembered more for not competing than many would be if they had won a medal in Moscow. “It’s kept our stories alive so we can share a positive message about the sport,” he said. “The goal is to take this opportunity and share a positive message. The bad thing is for 40 years is if someone fi nds out you were on the Olympic team, they ask 'How did you do?' I’ve had that conversation thousands of times. There’s always an asterisk next to my name and you get tired of the explaining.” Mills said sometimes he lies and tells people he fi nished sixth in the games.“It’s good enough that they respect you but not so good that they check. If you fi nish fourth, they say ‘Aww that’s so

close.’” Mills kept his love of the sport after retiring from competition and has put his focus into coaching. He helps train Olympians from multiple countries, helping them with their techniques. Mills founded GoSwim, a program with thousands of instructional videos that supplements in-person instruction. He and his wife Rachel live in Scottsdale, where she is the associate head coach at Arizona State University. Mills trains swimmers in his backyard pool in a neighborhood that houses all-time Olympic great Michael Phelps and many other Olympians. Glenn has been inducted to the Cincinnati Marlins Hall of Fame, the Greater Cleveland Sports Hall of Fame, and the University of Alabama Athletic Hall of Fame. In 2014, USA Swimming recognized GoSwim as the sport’s leading provider of educational video content for swimming and announced that it would partner with GoSwim, making them an oﬃ cial technique video supplier to USA Swimming. Before settling in Arizona, Mills and

his wife toured the country for 16 months in an RV, studying techniques from every swimmer they met and advice from every coach.. Mills has been using his 1980 experience to help current Olympic hopefuls, who have had their competitive dreams delayed as the Tokyo Olympics have been moved back to 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic. He posted a video message online to hose swimmers drawing from his own experiences. “The reality is that the competition is such a small part of what your career has been,” he said in the video. “The most important things you have to take pride in is that you did the work. You had a goal and you set out to do it. The chance of success at that level of the sport is so slim that all you want is the chance, and if you don’t get it, it doesn’t take away the work that you did.” Here is a look at other Cincinnatians who were set to go to Moscow in 1980.

Darrell Pace The Reading High School graduate was the men’s individual gold medalist in archery in 1976 and 1984. He set an Olympic record in both gold medal wins and was a heavy favorite to win in 1980. He helped the U.S. win a silver medal in the team competition in 1988. Pace, 63, has a park named after him in Hamilton.

Sharon Moore Furlong The Mercy High School and University of Cincinnati graduate was on the U.S. volleyball team in 1980. Furlong and her teammates get together regularly and recently had a virtual reunion via Zoom. Volleyball Magazine recently proﬁ led the 1980 team.

Bill Barrett In 1980, he qualiﬁ ed second in the 100-meter breaststroke, in a time that would prove better than the eventual gold-medal winner. Barrett also held the world record in the 200-meter individSee OLYMPICS, Page 2B

10 best prep quarterbacks to watch in 2020 Shelby Dermer and James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The beginning of the high school football season is less than two months away with Northern Kentucky's Week 0 scheduled for August 21 and Ohio slated to kickoff the following week. Last season, Wyoming's Evan Prater was the area's fi rst Mr. Football since 1992. Elder's Matthew Luebbe threw for over 3,000 yards and ran for over 1,700 in guiding the Panthers to the Division I state championship game. In Northern Kentucky, Conner's Jared Hicks was top-10 in the state in passing yards with 23 scores through the air and 11 more on the ground. But those three signal-callers have fi nished their respective prep careers. Who are the top quarterbacks suiting up in 2020? Zach Branam, La Salle (senior).

Branam proved to be a lethal dualthreat quarterback in his fi rst varsity season in 2019, throwing for 1,676 yards and running for nearly 1,400 with 35 total touchdowns to help lead the Lancers to their fourth state championship in six seasons. Branam had just one career passing attempt going into last season, but quickly caught fi re, throwing for 11 touchdowns and zero interceptions over the fi rst fi ve games. In Week 6, Branam ran for 253 yards and fi ve touchdowns in a win over Moeller. Less than a month later, he threw for 153 yards and ran for 120 as La Salle locked down the Greater Catholic League-South championship with a 2725 win over Elder. In the postseason, Branam ran for over 500 yards, including 166 in the state fi nal against Massillon Washington. He was named fi rst-team GCL-South and all-district and third-team All-Ohio.

He's received oﬀ ers from Valparaiso University, Kenyon College and the University of Chicago over the last month. Caleb Jacob, Covington Catholic (senior). Jacob threw for 2,817 yards and 33 touchdowns for the Colonels, completing 64 percent of his passes. Jacob enters his third season as a starter and has a record of 29-1, leading the Colonels to last year’s 5A state championship. He threw for over 2,800 yards and 28 touchdowns as a sophomore. He was invited to the Elite 11 Quarterback Regional Invite and holds oﬀ ers from Morehead State (DI), Kentucky Wesleyan (DII), Siena Heights (NAIA) and Brevard College (DIII) with Eastern Kentucky showing interest. Cameron Hergott, Beechwood (senior). Hergott threw for 2,076 yards and 15 touchdowns and connected on 62 See QUARTER BACKS, Page 2B

ual medley and won that event at the Trials. In 1984, he narrowly missed making the Olympic team. The Turpin graduate won a pair of Ohio state championships in the 50 freestyle (1977-78) and one in the 100 freestyle ('78). He would eventually swim at UCLA where he was Pac-10 Swimmer of the Year three consecutive seasons, helping UCLA to the national team championship. In 1982, he won a silver medal in the World Aquatics Championships.

percent of his passes in leading the Tigers to the Kentucky Class 2A state semifi nals. He threw for 1,671 yards and 24 touchdowns as a sophomore, leading Beechwood to a 12-2 record and the 1A state championship. He has off ers from Division III schools Centre College and Mount St. Joseph, and NAIA Siena Heights. His most recent interest came from Eastern Kentucky, Middle Tennessee, Samford and Cornell. Robert Brazziel, Taft (senior). Brazziel ran away with the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference Off ensive Athlete of the Year Award in 2019 with over 2,000 passing yards and 24 touchdowns against just fi ve interceptions. He added 476 yards and seven scores on the ground to lead the Senators to a CMAC title and 10-win season. Brazziel's fi rst varsity pass went for a 95yard touchdown. He later capped his fi rst start with a game-winning touchdown pass with 12 seconds left in regulation to lift Taft over Northwest, 27-20 , fi nishing with a season-high 316 yards. Brazziel continued to carry the clutch gene throughout the season, totaling

Carlisle did make it to the Olympic pool in Moscow a decade too late while on a business trip, but found the pool closed and the doors padlocked and chained shut. Carlisle carried the torch on its way to Salt Lake City for the 2002 Winter Olympics and wrote a blog post on her Olympic experiences in 2016.

Roland Muhlen Muhlen, 77, ﬁ nished sixth in the 1972 Olympics in Munich in the C-2 1,000meter event and also qualiﬁ ed in 1976. He continued competing into the 2000s, winning 26 national titles at various stages, including the 2006 C-2 masters mixed event with his wife, Linda. In senior open competition, he was US Champion in C-1 500 meters and C-2 500 meters in 1972, 1974, and 1975. Muhlen competed at three World Championships.

championship in 1985. Tubbs ﬁ nished with a pro record of 47-10 and has been battling legal problems in recent years. He recently gave an interview with Ring TV on his career.

Medalists from other countries

The 1976 Walnut Hills graduate won three national championships in platform diving at the University of Michigan before qualifying for the Olympics. She dominated the ﬁ eld in the 1979 PanAmerican Games, winning the gold in the platform. As a member of the 1980 Olympic Team, she was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest civilian honor bestowed by the United States Congress.

Tony Tubbs Tubbs, 62, is one of Cincinnati’s most highly decorated boxers. He qualiﬁ ed for the Olympics in 1980 then turned pro after the boycott. As an amateur, Tubbs worked as a sparring partner to Muhammad Ali, helping the legend to prepare for his rematch with Leon Spinks for the World Heavyweight Championship. Tubbs won the WBA heavyweight

Some with Cincinnati ties did get to compete in Moscow while representing other countries. Mike Sylvester, a 1970 Moeller graduate, was a dual citizen who played for the Italian men’s basketball team that won the silver medal, becoming the only American to win a medal in 1980. Tina Gustafsson, a 1982 University of Cincinnati grad, won a silver medal for Sweden in swimming the 4x100 freestyle relay. Michelle MacPherson, a swimmer and also a UC grad, competed for Canada in 1980 and won a bronze medal in 1984 in the 4x100 medley relay. UC grad Pelle Wikstrom also represented Sweden in the pool, competing in the 100 and 200 freestyle.

four touchdowns in a 29-26 win over Withrow and running for a pair of scores in a 30-22 win over Lutheran East. Over a three-week stretch in October, he threw for 716 yards and 12 touchdowns. Brazziel threw two touchdowns and ran for another in Taft's 35-3 playoff win over Blanchester, the fi rst postseason victory for a Cincinnati Public School since 1993. Brazziel was named fi rstteam all-district and special mention All-Ohio. He was recently off ered by Tiffi n University and has interest from UC, Kentucky, among others. Michale Wingfi eld, Winton Woods (senior). Wingfi eld will be entering his third season as the starting quarterback for the Warriors. In 2018, he led Winton Woods to a regional championship and 12-2 record. Last season, Winton Woods played only nine games and missed the playoff s, fi nishing 6-3. Wingfi eld threw for 1,212 yards and 14 touchdowns and ran for additional 230. The second-team all-district selection is dubbed a threestar recruit by 247sports. He was offered by The Citadel and has interest from multiple MAC programs. Jackson Kuhn, Anderson (senior). In just eight games, Kuhn threw for 2,095 yards with 20 touchdowns. He ran for additional 311 yards and fi ve scores. At the time of his injury, Kuhn

was the Eastern Cincinnati Conference's leading passer. He fi nished 44of-63 for 417 yards and six touchdowns in Anderson's 59-41 win over Kings and threw for 350 and three scores in the season-opener against Simon Kenton. Kuhn threw for 342 yards and three touchdowns against Turpin in his fi nal performance of 2019, but Anderson came up short when the Spartans converted a game-winning two-point conversion with 19 seconds left. That loss kept Anderson from a return trip to the postseason. Kuhn was second-team ECC and all-district. Sam Autry, Madeira (senior) Possible overshadowed in a conference with the state's best player, Autry led the Cincinnati Hills League in passing yards, throwing for 2,163 with 19 touchdowns against 10 picks. He also ran for 376 yards and tied for fi fth in the conference with 10 rushing scores. Autry led Madeira on a pair of fourgame winning streaks, leading to an 8-2 fi nish. In the regular-season fi nale, Autry threw a pair of touchdowns to lift Madeira over Mariemont, 21-20, for a postseason berth. He was one of three quarterbacks to be named fi rst-team CHL and was also a second-team alldistrict selection. Chase Crone, Simon Kenton (Soph-

omore). Crone had an outstanding freshman season for the Pioneers, throwing for 1,740 yards and 14 touchdowns while rushing for 669 yards and six scores. He has been invited the 2021 Camp Universe for QBs. Mark Smith, Cincinnati College Prep (junior). Smith was at the forefront of CCPA best season ever in 2019. As a sophomore in nine games (one forfeit), Smith threw for 1,803 yards with 18 touchdowns and just two interceptions. He also ran for over 1,000 yards and a dozen scores. In a pivotal Week 8 clash against St. Bernard, Smith threw two touchdowns and ran for 274 yards and three scores to lift the Lions to a 42-36 victory. The win helped catapult CCPA to its fi rst-ever playoff berth and Smith was named fi rst-team All-Ohio. Trey Robinette, New Miami (senrior). Robinette threw 18 touchdowns against just two interceptions in 2019, leading the Vikings to the playoff s for the second-straight season. Robinette tallied seven multi-touchdown games through the air, throwing for a careerhigh 239 yards in a 39-0 win over Fayetteville Perry. He also added 11 rushing touchdowns, guiding the Vikings to a perfect regular season and the No. 1 seed in Region 28. Robinette was named second-team All-Ohio.

SCHOOL NEWS Ohio River Foundation waiving fees for Mussels in the Classroom program Ohio River Foundation (ORF) is waiving all fees for its Mussels in the Classroom program for fall 2020. Established in 2017, Mussels in the Classroom (MIC) is the fi rst program of its kind in the country. It takes live freshwater mussels, an often overlooked species that’s critical to ecosystems, to schools in Greater Cincinnati, Columbus, Lexington, Georgetown and Frankfort. “Our education programs help students learn important Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) content that relates to state standards while also inspiring them to become the next generation of environmental stewards,” said Rich Cogen, Ohio River Foundation’s executive director. “Anticipating that many schools will be unable to take fi eld trips this fall, we want to make sure students still have opportunities for hands-on environmental learning.” Even if classroom setups are diff erent when students return to school, ORF can adapt the MIC program to meet teachers’ needs. To accommodate schools with visitor restrictions, ORF educators can set up equipment when class is not in session, and they can conduct the presentation they’d normally lead in the classroom via videoconferencing or a pre-recorded video. Because the mussels remain in the classroom for two weeks, all students can observe them, even if they aren’t all in the classroom on the same day. Students have the opportunity to care for the mussels and participate in provided activities or come up with their own creative projects. Why mussels? The animals serve as our rivers’ natural fi lters, straining the water and eating everything from dead leaves to algae. But pollution, habitat destruction and overfi shing are taking a toll: Nearly half of the 127 mussel species once found in the Ohio River Basin are now considered extinct, endangered or species of concern. Students participating in the MIC program will gain a better understanding of these animals and the threats they face. MIC is open to grades K-12, and applications are accepted on a rolling basis via the program’s web page. The program is off ered the entire school year, September through May. Interested teachers are encouraged to register now, as space is limited. In addition to MIC, ORF off ers its perennially popular River Explorer program in Greater Cincinnati and Columbus.

students be junior scientists for a day as they learn about the ecology and importance of the Ohio River and its watershed at area creeks, streams and rivers. Open to grades four through 12, River Explorer includes three hands-on stations: 1) Catching, examining and identifying fi sh; 2) Collecting and identifying macroinvertebrates; and 3) River chemistry (grades six through 12) or water use and the water cycle (grades four and fi ve). All but the youngest students also take part in habitat assessments as part of their day, and ORF educators touch on issues such as water pollution and environmental stewardship with all students. The River Explorer program is off ered in September, October, April and May. Greater Cincinnati fi eld trips take place at Nisbet Park and Lake Isabella Park in Loveland; Sycamore Park in Batavia; Sharon Woods Park in Sharonville; Pioneer Park in Covington; and Guilford

Covered Bridge Park in Guildford, Indiana. Columbus programs are at Highbanks Park and Friendship Park. Registration for fall River Explorer ﬁ eld trips is open through Aug. 15 via the program’s web page. Support for the MIC and River Explorer and programs is provided by the Charles Dater Foundation, Elsa Heisel Sule Foundation, Duke Energy Foundation, Ashland, Inc., Valvoline, PNC Charitable Trusts and Honda Manufacturing. Ohio River Foundation (ORF) is dedicated to protecting and improving the water quality and ecology of the Ohio River and all waters in its 11-state watershed. ORF works towards these goals through environmental education and conservation activities that serve to inspire environmental stewardship for the beneﬁ t and enjoyment of current and future citizens.

Milford’s Historical Society cancels Annual Art Affaire for 2020 The Greater Milford Area Historical Society (GMAHS) has cancelled its 15th Annual Art Aff aire due to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic. Art Aff aire, an art and fi ne craft show, is a primary fundraiser for the Society held yearly on the fourth Saturday of September along Main Street (U.S. Route 50) in Milford, Ohio. “This was a diffi cult decision,” says Donna Amann, GMAHS administrator, “however, the health and safety of everyone involved – artists, attendees, event sponsors, food vendors, GMAHS staff and volunteers, and Milford’s Main Street businesses – cannot be overstated. We felt this was the only viable solution for 2020.” Art Aff aire is a signifi cant source of income for GMAHS, and it is a much-anticipated event for the City of Milford. The committee explored several alternatives before making the cancellation decision, but it could not off er a solution that would ensure its ability to meet state, city and festival COVID-19 guidelines. “While we are cancelling the event for this year,” comments Martha Kleinfelter, chair, Art Aff aire committee, “we plan to bring Art Aff aire back in 2021.

BY BYRON AND HARRISON WALDEN / EDITED BY WILL SHORTZ Byron Walden is a math and computer science professor at Santa Clara University. Harrison is his 8-year-old son, who, with occasional assistance, has been doing crosswords for more than a year. The jokes in this puzzle’s theme are a collaboration between the two. Byron spearheaded the fill — although the top right and lower left corners are completely Harrison’s. The two wrote the clues together. — W.S.

Events are starting to happen! Here’s how to get yours listed Social distancing will still be required for safety Luann Gibbs Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

As Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana gradually reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic, it’s not “business as usual.” Due to continued social distancing requirements, everything from restaurants and bars to museums, pools and amusement parks have enacted policies on how to best keep guests safe. There are limits to the number of guests allowed inside at a time. Most

venues now require a reservation with timed entry/exit to accommodate as many visitors per day as possible. Many places require guests to wear masks and have their temperature taken before admittance. And while things may look diff erent for some time to come, it’s a necessary part of keeping both staff and guests safe. Yeah, it’s a bummer that we can’t enjoy a Reds game on a wonderfully mild summer evening, or rock out with half the city at a Jimmy Buff ett concert, but instead of bemoaning our losses, why not rejoice in the small gains? Some events are fi nally starting to take place. They may not be on the size

or scale of a Reds game or Riverbend show, but they are an important part of our reawakening from the stay-at-home orders. If you have an event you would like added to our calendar listings, there are several ways to do so. The simplest way is to visit events.cincinnati.com and add your event to our calendar database. We use this database to create our weekly event listings online and in print. You can also email your event to calendar@cincinnati.com with “things to do” in the subject. To submit a community-related news story for possible publication, visit local.cincinnati.com/share.

A sign of our times. As businesses begin to reopen, expect heightened health and safety protocols, like social distancing and wearing face coverings. ROBERT G. BREESETIMES HERALD-RECORD
