Clermont County kids get free books via Dolly Parton Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Do you live in Clermont County and have a child aged 5 or younger? Tennessee songbird Dolly Parton and local offi cials want to send your child a free book every month. The Clermont County Public Library and United Way of Greater Cincinnati have launched an initiative to provide free books to 2,400 local preschoolers in the county through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Clermont County parents can sign up on the Clermont County Public Library's website to get the books for their children. Imagination Library books are already being off ered in most Ohio counties, including Hamilton, Butler and Warren counties.
Inability to read 'kept him from fulfi lling all of his dreams' Parton started the program in Sevier County, Tennessee, where she grew up, in 1995 to honor her father. He couldn't read. "He was the smartest man I have ever known, but I know in my heart his

inability to read probably kept him from fulfi lling all of his dreams," Parton has said. Now, Parton partners with public and private donors to deliver books to 1.5 million children in the United States, Australia, Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom. Ohio First Lady Fran DeWine worked with lawmakers and local donors to raise the money needed to pay for Imagine Library books in the Buckeye State. If the program hits its goal of 2,400
participating children in Clermont County, it will serve about 12 percent of the eligible population in the county. “That would be a great start to reaching all children in Clermont County by the end of 2021,” Erika Yingling, director of United Way’s Eastern Area Center, said. “We hope others will join together to support this expansion and ensure children start off with the reading material they need to super-charge their imagination.” The fi rst Imagination Library book delivered to children is "The Little Engine that Could" and the fi nal book is "Look Out Kindergarten, Here I Come." “This program aligns well with our focus on quality education and our Success by Six initiatives of promoting early literacy and kindergarten readiness as well as encouraging parentchild interaction,” Moira Weir, president of United Way of Greater Cincinnati, said. “We know early reading is a foundation for a lifetime of academic success and we’re happy to bring this program to Clermont County. United is the way to quality education.” Enquirer reporters Jessie Balmert and Max Londberg contributed to this report.
Sycamore Distilling in Milford has launched a line of ready-to-drink canned cocktails. Four-packs of Sycamore Bourbon and Cola, Voltage Vodka Electric Mule and Cooper Island Markoe Bay Mojito will be sold for $13.99. “A lot of the RTD cocktails you are seeing pop up in the market nowadays are basically seltzers or seltzer-like cocktails that are going for the popularity of the category,” Sycamore Distilling spokesperson Josh Engel said. “Our RTD cocktails are the authentic cocktails we serve in our taprooms, using our handcrafted spirits and only the best ingredients. “Sure, you can drink them from the can, but they can also be poured over ice into a to-go cup or in a glass just as we would serve them over our bars,” Engel said.
Distillery rolls out RedSky Gin Sycamore Distilling also is introducing RedSky Gin, an 80-proof alcoholic drink made with juniper berry, angelica root, caraway and coriander that was developed over three years. “Our team has been doing test batches in between our packed brewing and distilling schedule,” Engel said. “We fi nally refi ned a recipe we were really proud of and decided to take it full scale.” Sycamore Distilling products are sold in more than 200 liquor agencies in Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois. The company operates on the property of the former Millcroft Inn on Mill Street in Milford, which Contingent Holdings of Sycamore Township is restoring and redeveloping for the distillery and other businesses.

Three renewal levies on Clermont ballot Nov. 3 Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Clermont County voters will be asked in November to renew levies for abused and neglected children, senior citizens and people with mental health and addiction problems. County commissioners have passed resolutions to place three, fi ve-year re-
newal levies on the Nov. 3 ballot. If the levies are approved, there will be no increase in taxes, Clermont County spokesman Mike Boehmer said. Boehmer said people will pay the same amount they are paying now. The levies include: i A 0.8-mill levy benefi tting Clermont County Children’s Protective Services would continue to cost the owner
of a $100,000 home $24.04 a year. i A 1.3-mill levy benefi tting Clermont Senior Services that would continue to cost the owner of a $100,000 home $34.21 per year. i A 0.75-mill levy benefi tting the Clermont County Mental Health & Recovery Board that would continue to cost the owner of a $100,000 home $20.91 a year.
Great Parks pulls levy from ballot after outcry Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Turns out, a pandemic is not the ideal time to ask for a tax increase, the board for Great Parks of Hamilton County decided Aug. 5. But it will be on the ballot in November 2021, park district Director Todd Palmeter said. The park board shocked the political establishment and residents July 16 when it voted to put a levy on the ballot that would cost homeowners $63 per $100,000 of assessed value. That would have been on top of the $35 per $100,000 of valuation homeowners already pay, meaning the rate would have nearly tripled to a total of $98 per $100,000. On Aug. 5, the board unanimously voted during an emergency meeting to pull the levy off the ballot. Board members said the need was still there, but the timing was wrong. "We thought it would be benefi cial for us to go through with it at the time that we did," said park board Chairman Marcus Thompson. "Unfortunately, there were some people that didn’t see it that way. The need is there." Great Parks of Hamilton County has a plan for trails and improvements to its park system. But the district provided

few details on how money from the levy would be spent on these projects. Palmeter said they will have detailed plans on exactly where all the money will go before putting the tax increase on the ballot next year. Why didn't the park district give more notice to elected offi cials and the public before deciding to put the levy on the ballot? "That’s a learning outcome from the process," Palmeter said. "I advised the board I want to go back out there and meet with more people, share specifi cs and then get more feedback for the plan. " Enquirer political columnist Jason Williams questioned the need for the
levy in a recent column, which included pressing Palmeter on how the money would be spent. "You're right. I don't have (a plan)," Palmeter said. "I can tell you we're working on it." Great Parks, which includes 21 parks and preserves, has a $34.7 million annual operating budget. It's had to cut $4.7 million from its budget this year because of the coronavirus pandemic, Palmeter said. It typically has about 1,000 employees, 800 of whom are part-time, as well as volunteers. Great Parks has had to cut more than 200 part-time employees.

Semi truck driver indicted on 7 charges after 3-hour police pursuit Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
The semi truck driver who led police on a on a nearly three-hour chase and was only stopped when a sniper took out the semi's engine was indicted July 30 on seven charges, according to court documents. Patrick Berthelot, 39, is charged with kidnapping, two counts of failure to comply with an order or signal from a police offi cer and four counts of Berthelot felonious assault, according to court records. Police said Berthelot held his wife hostage while driving a semi tractortrailer from Butler County to Anderson Township on July 18. Berthelot threatened to shoot at police multiple times during the pursuit and swerved at police who deployed stop sticks to defl ate the truck's tires. "I have a knife and a gun and I will shoot the police if they keep coming," he said. "I was a cop in the Air Force and I am trained and I will start shooting if they don't f---ing slow down and let me talk," Berthelot told a dispatcher during the pursuit. Berthelot eventually unhooked the trailer from the truck near the Kellogg Avenue exit on Interstate 275 and sped up and down the eastbound lane of the highway. Once a Cincinnati SWAT sniper disabled the semi's engine, Berthelot held himself at knifepoint and refused to deescalate. He was arrested after he was shot with a Taser and foam baton, police said. "I haven't seen anything like this in 30 plus years of policing," Cincinnati Assistant Chief Paul Neudigate said. Berthelot's wife was released prior to the sniper fi ring shots. Police said she was taken to the hospital and may have suff ered a broken leg. The Enquirer is not naming the wife due to the domestic violence nature of
The driver of a semi tractor-trailer abandoned his trailer along west Interstate 275 as authorities pursued and then later apprehended the driver, Saturday, July 18, 2020, along Interstate 275 in Anderson Township. The driver was arrested just before 4 p.m. and required treatment from medics at the scene on Interstate 275. KAREEM ELGAZZAR/THE ENQUIRER
the charges. Berthelot's ex, Alexsis Thompson, told The Enquirer he should have been locked up in 2011 after she was the victim of a violent incident in Georgia. “He’s not going to stop until somebody is dead," Thompson said. "We should have made a big deal about this back in 2011. He should have been stopped (then).” The following year Berthelot was accused of shooting a 26-year-old woman in the back twice and then fl eeing the
scene, according to a Tuscaloosa News report. A county-wide search ensued, and Berthelot was ultimately captured at a gas station, police said. He pleaded guilty to a domestic violence charge and was given a fi ve-year prison sentence and was released on probation 2017, according to Tuscaloosa County District Attorney Hays Webb. Thompson said the woman he shot was Berthelot’s then-girlfriend. Berthelot is scheduled to remain on probation for several more years. In Oc-
tober 2019, the Tuscaloosa County probation authorities fi led a report stating he had not reported to a probation offi cer since June of 2017, Webb said. His arrest was ordered on Oct. 28, 2019, offi cials said. Berthelot is currently being held in the Hamilton County Jail on a $275,000 straight bond, according to jail records. Berthelot's attorney Hugh McCloskey could not be immediately reached for comment July 30.

Feds: Hamilton man indicted, solicited an Anderson High School student for sex Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A Hamilton man was indicted in federal court Aug. 5 after documents state he sex traffi cked a 16-year-old girl from Anderson High School. Malikai Willis, 24, faces one count of child sex traffi cking and three counts of sexual exploitation of a child, the indictment states.
Riverfest 2020 is canceled
Willis was arrested in January after police said he picked up an Anderson High School student for sex. He was charged in Hamilton County on importuning, violating a protection order and interference with custody – Willis but those Hamilton County charges were dismissed this month once Willis was indicted under federal jurisdiction. Documents from the Hamilton County case state Willis picked up the student from Anderson High School in his vehicle on Jan. 15. 4He drove the girl to his home in Hamilton, where "he kept her until police located him." When detectives arrived at his home, Willis lied about his identity and said the girl was not with him. The 16-year-old was later discovered "hiding inside of a couch in the defendant's upstairs bedroom," court documents say. The girl told detectives Willis had solicited her to engage in sexual conduct with him and another
female, according to the documents. In November 2019, Willis was charged with human traffi cking and soliciting prostitution in Warren County in a case involving the same Anderson High School student, offi cials told The Enquirer. Those charges were dropped in December. The federal indictment states Willis traffi cked a 16year-old girl and caused her to engage in commercial sex acts between September 2019 and January 2020. In November and January, documents say Willis created child pornography by making three sexually explicit videos of the girl. A release from the U.S. Department of Justice states sex traffi cking of a minor is punishable by 10 years up to life in prison. The child pornography charges carry a potential prison sentence of 15 to 30 years. Willis was scheduled to appear in federal court on Aug. 10, according to court records.

Cincinnati offi cials recently announced that Riverfest, Cincinnati's longstanding celebration of Labor Day, will not happen in 2020. "Mayor Cranley announces that the City of Cincinnati will not issue permits related to Riverfest this year," the city said in a tweet. "He said he looks forward to the event next year." Mayor John Cranley said during a press conference he thought it was fairly obvious the event would not happen, “but we want to be explicit.” There will be no permits for beer sales, fi reworks or any gatherings on the river. “It’s inconceivable that we would feel comfortable to have that kind of a large gathering on the river a month from now, despite the fact that our numbers are getting better,” Cranley said. “No one thinks they’ll get that great by then or that we’ll have a vaccine by then.” Covington, Newport and Bellevue had already withdrawn from the event citing COVID-19 concerns. The Rozzi Famous Fireworks show is typically hosted by the cities of Newport, Cincinnati, Covington and Bellevue on Labor Day weekend, bringing large crowds to the riverfront. The fi rst Riverfest took place in 1977.

Ex-prosecutor admits trading legal services for drugs Cameron Knight and Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Cathy Adams, a former Clermont County assistant prosecutor, admitted Aug .5 in federal court that she traded her legal services for methamphetamine. Adams appeared before Judge Douglas Cole and pleaded guilty to participating in a large narcotics conspiracy. A federal indictment unsealed in October 2019 showed a total of 28 people were charged in connection with the distribution of at least a pound of meth. In court, Adams admitted that she used and sold meth for the group as well as trading her services for the drug between March 2018 and June 2019. Prosecutors also said she gave the drug to another person as well. Among the defendants were people who went by the nicknames "Cooter," "MILF" and "Old Girl," as well a mother and her son. Prosecutors said the group was also under investigation for fentanyl and weapons traffi cking. Several of the defendants faced weapons charges. Prosecutors accused the group of using residences in Adams, Brown and Highland counties to distribute controlled substances. Cathy Adams was an assistant prosecutor in Clermont County between 2013 and 2015, according to her LinkedIn page. She also previously worked as a public defender in the county. After her initial appearance in court, Adams was released to wait for other hearings at home. She was barred from obtaining a passport and could not travel outside of the southern half Ohio. A judge ordered her to participate in substance-abuse testing and treatment.

Study ranks Cincinnati's 25 most crash-prone intersections

Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A new study posted by Elk & Elk law fi rm has identifi ed the 25 most dangerous intersections in Cincinnati. The study also ranked the top fi ve most dangerous zones in the city, and placed Cincinnati's downtown area on top of the list with 752 crashes and three fatalities reported between 2014 and 2019. The study states Cincinnati's downtown had more than twice as many crashes and injuries than any other area in the state. "No other zone in another Ohio city comes close to this large cluster," the study states. The law fi rm hired 1Point21 Interactive, a content marketing agency based in San Diego, to conduct the study. The agency analyzed six years' worth of data from the Ohio Department of Transportation, isolating only crashes where an injury or fatality was reported, offi cials said. 1Point21 Interactive content manager Brian Beltz told The Enquirer the agency used Geospatial analysis to aggregate crashes that occurred within 25 feet of each intersection, then applied a composite score using crash volume and injury severity to rank them. The study encompassed all of Ohio and broke down the most dangerous zones and intersections for Ohio's largest cities. The most dangerous intersection in Cincinnati is located at Gilbert Avenue and Victory Parkway in Evanston, according to the study. In the last six years there were 10 crashes at that intersection which led to 25 minor to moderate injuries. "This intersection is adjacent to Walnut Hills High School – which may indicate a large number of novice teen drivers that may commute through that intersection," the study states. The Cincinnati intersection with the most total crashes is located at Mitchell Avenue and Kessler Avenue in Clifton, with 16 total crashes that produced 10 minor to moderate injuries and two serious injuries. The study ranked this intersection at No. 4 on the list. The intersection with the most fatalities is located at North Bend Road and Argus Road in College Hill, the

study states. Out of the three crashes that intersection saw between 2014 and 2019, there were three total deaths. Those three crashes also led to four serious injuries. This intersection ranks at No. 5 on the list. But Cincinnati intersections appear to be "much safer overall" compared to other major Ohio cities, the study states. There were no Cincinnati intersections included in the study's top 50 most dangerous intersections in Ohio list. Altogether the following intersections accounted for 269 crashes, 216 minor to moderate injuries, 37 serious injuries and six deaths between 2014 and 2019, according to Elk & Elk: 1 Gilbert Avenue and Victory Parkway in Evanston. 2 Queen City Avenue and Harrison Avenue in South Fairmont. 3 Martin Luther King Drive and Burnet Avenue in Corryville. 4 Mitchell Avenue and Kessler Avenue in Clifton. 5 North Bend Road and Argus Road in College Hill. 6 Reading Road and Dorchester Avenue in Mount Auburn. 7 Reading Road and McGregor Avenue in Mount Auburn. 8 Vine Street and Nixon Street/Goodman Street in Corryville. 9 Warsaw Avenue and Grand Avenue in East Price Hill. 10 Hopple Street and Beekman Street in English Woods. 11 Linn Street and Liberty Street in West End. 12 Mitchell Avenue and Kenard Avenue in Winton Place. 13 Glenway Avenue and Sidney Road in West Price Hill. 14 Westwood Avenue and Grand Avenue in South
Fairmont. 15 Broadway Street and East 5th Street in Downtown Cincinnati. 16 Glenway Avenue and Considine Avenue in East Price Hill. 17 Vine Street and Erhman Avenue in Clifton. 18 Elm Street and West 9th Street in Downtown Cincinnati. 19 Martin Luther King Drive and Jeff erson Avenue in Clifton Heights. 20Reading Road and Hutchins Avenue in Avondale. 21 Montana Avenue and Harrison Avenue in Westwood. 22 Central Parkway and West McMillan Street in Fairview. 23 Vine Street and Clinton Springs Avenue in Clifton. 24Glenway Avenue and Grand Avenue in East Price Hill. 25 River Road and Thornton Avenue in Sayler Park. Here are the top 5 most dangerous zones in Cincinnati, as identifi ed by the Elk & Elk study: 1 Downtown, with 752 crashes, 56 serious injuries and three fatalities. 2 Corryville, with 366 crashes, 30 serious injuries and three fatalities. 3 Price Hill, with 248 crashes, 24 serious injuries and one fatality. 4 University of Cincinnati, with 238 crashes, nine serious injuries and one fatality. 5 Spring Grove, with 156 crashes, seven serious injuries and no fatalities. Elk & Elk is a personal injury law fi rm founded by brothers Arthur and David Elk, according to their website. Steve Davenport of Elk & Elk said the fi rm invests in studies of this kind on a regular basis for the benefi t of the community and to help keep people safe.

Taking time to appreciate aprons while making some quick strawberry ice cream Three ingredient strawberry ice cream
Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld
Use sweetened frozen strawberries. So easy, and pretty, too. Recipe can be doubled.
Guest columnist
You should have seen me picking vegetables yesterday. Well, then again, I’m glad you didn’t. I was on my way to check the berry patch and thought I’d check the veggies, too, thinking I’d get a few ripe ones. After picking through rows of tomato, squash and cucumbers, I was wishing I had on a big, old fashioned apron instead of the tank top I wore. Maybe you know the aprons I’m talking about – wide enough to wrap around and make a pouch to carry things. I got to thinking about my favorite poem about aprons that I shared a while back. And about you still cooking during these troubled times. The poem talks about times when aprons were not a fashion statement, but a necessity. Sort of like today, don’t you think? Also here’s my recipe for quick strawberry ice cream, requested by a Mason reader.
Ingredients 12-16 oz. frozen sweetened strawberries, thawed 1 to 1 1⁄ 4 cups whipping cream, unwhipped (1 cup for 12 oz., 1⁄ 4 cups for 16 oz.) 1 teaspoon vanilla Instructions Pour berries into blender or food processor. Blend until as smooth as you like. Pour cream and vanilla in. Blend until mixed. Pour into ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions. (Mine took 20 minutes.) Eat immediately or freeze for fi rmer set. Tip: Make this by hand if you like.
The apron When I cook, I put on my oldest apron, the one worn and dotted with stains. Aprons are not only clothing, but a piece of history. Stains are remembrances of time spent in the kitchen cooking for loved ones. Back in the day, Grandma's apron served more than just protection to clothing. h It was used as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven. h The apron was perfect for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears. h From the chicken coop, the apron was used to carry eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be fi nished in the warming oven. h When company came, those

aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids. h When the weather was cold, grandma wrapped it around her arms. h Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over a hot wood stove. h Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron. h From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the peas had been shelled, it carried out hulls. h In the fall, the apron was used to

It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that "old-time apron" that served many purposes.

Can Turpin football repeat as ECC champs? Shelby Dermer
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
ANDERSON TWP. — In 2019, Kent McCullough broke through in his third season at the helm of Turpin football, recording a 10-0 perfect season and the school’s third outright Eastern Cincinnati Conference Championship. McCullough is hoping that type of campaign becomes the norm around Bartles Road each fall. In 2017, McCullough replaced Rob Stoll, who retired as the all-time winningest coach in school history. He led Turpin to a pair of regional fi nals and a state semifi nal berth in 2006. “The standard when I took over for Rob Stoll, they won the ECC (10-0). At Turpin, the expectation will always be winning ECC championships. The kids get it and they understand it,” McCullough said. There will be a few hurdles for Turpin to clear when the season kicks off next month. The biggest departure hole to fi ll is under center. Justin Silverstein was a special mention AllOhio selection and the ECC player of the year in 2019 after throwing for 2,395 yards and 29 touchdowns. The Spartans have an ongoing quarterback competition between three suitors: senior Jakob Williams, junior Will Schulok and sophomore Clark Helgason. “Each of them has diff erent attributes, qualities and weaknesses and they will each have opportunities to run the offense,” McCullough said. “We told them from the jump, ‘you’re gonna be competing every day.’ I’m not gonna be the type of coach that’s gonna be waiting around to make a deci-

sion. With not being able to scrimmage, it’s going to be tough, but when we get to play we’re gonna have to make a tough decision.” Whoever wins the starting quarterback battle, he will have an experienced group around him. Starting at center is fi rstteam ECC selection Gabe Hickman, who fi nished third at state in the shot put as a sophomore in 2019 and won the indoor state championship in 2020 before the novel coronavirus pandemic. Turpin’s skilled group lost key weapons like tight end Josh Bell and 1,000-yard rusher Reece Evans, but still returns four vital seniors, starting with play-making running back Kaidan Naughton. As a junior last season, Naughton ran for 566 yards and 10 touchdowns while snagging 32 passes for 500 yards and six scores. In the middle of the season, he tallied back-to-back 200-yard games against Walnut Hills and Loveland. “He (Naughton) is a tremendous athlete,” McCullough said, “You could call him a Swiss-army knife because he’s gonna run the ball, he’ll be in the receiving game and we’ll get him involved in special teams. We want to get the ball in his hands 30 times a game.” Three seniors return at wide receiver for the Spartans as Logan Hurley, Max Gundrum and Garrett Manaster provide a trio that combined for 100 catches, 1,295 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. Each of them showed up in big spots last season. Hurley had 18 catches in Turpin’s dramatic last-secSee FOOTBALL, Page 2B

OHSAA cross country invitational Aug. 15 is off Scott Springer
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
COLUMBUS - Citing health and safety as the top concern and the event's size, the Ohio High School Athletic Association canceled the Early Season Cross Country Invitational, scheduled for Aug. 15 at Fortress Obetz and Memorial Park in Southeast Columbus Wednesday. “We are very disappointed that the event is canceled and understand that there will be frustrations from our studentathletes, but we have to put safety fi rst,” said Bob Goldring, OHSAA interim executive director. “We are meticulously moving forward with reopening our seasons for competition and appreciate the guidance of the Governor’s Offi ce and the
Ohio Department of Health. We also appreciate the cooperation of Fortress Obetz and we look forward to conducting our state championships there Nov. 7.” Sparked by additional interest from many schools since the course is the new home of the OHSAA cross country state championships, the OHSAA began putting schools on the waitlist in mid-July and adjusted the schedule, race formats and the number of runners in each race in the hopes of providing the opportunity to participate to more schools. A decision had not yet been made regarding spectators. Cross country events can still proceed around the state beginning Aug. 24, as the sport of cross country has been designated as a low-contact sport by the governor’s offi ce and the Ohio Department of Health. The OHSAA currently recommends smaller cross country events be held.
MILFORD - The Milford Department of Athletics announced Conor Peck as the Eagles' new varsity boys lacrosse coach. Peck joins the program after spending the last two years working within the lacrosse program at Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy. “Coach Peck is an extremely passionate and enthusiastic person who understands how to create a positive culture that our stuPeck dent-athletes will thrive in, on and off the fi eld,” Milford Athletic Director Aaron Zupka said. “He’s a true leader of young men and will raise the standard of excellence for our boys lacrosse program. I know he will make an immediate impact on the leadership of the high school team while also bringing together the Milford lacrosse community." Peck is a Cincinnati native and alumni of Turpin High School and the University of Cincinnati. He spent his childhood enjoying and obsessing over all sports but fell in love with lacrosse while playing in the summertime with his cousins in upstate New York. While attending UC, Peck became the head junior high coach at Walnut Hills, followed by three years as their head varsity coach. In this role, he helped to establish Eagles Youth Lacrosse, the fi rst youth lacrosse program in the Cincinnati Public School District. For the past two seasons, Peck has served as head junior high coach and varsity assistant at CHCA. He also coaches the Resolute Cincinnati 2023 team and has a total of six years of experience coaching with various select clubs. In addition to fi eld lacrosse, Peck has experience coaching box lacrosse, including with the Resolute Box League, and as a former bench coach for the Cincinnati Flying Pigs Semi-Pro Team of the IBLA. Peck currently lives in Oakley and works on the Digital Solutions team for First Financial Bank. He is also a co-founder and board member of a non-profi t memorial scholarship foundation honoring a friend and former teammate of his. In his spare time, Peck enjoys being a proud Cincinnati sports fan, traveling, reading, golfi ng, and spending time with friends and family. “I’m incredibly excited to be the next head coach of the Milford Eagles boys lacrosse program,” Peck said. “I have a lot of respect for the Milford community, school, athletic department, and all involved in building lacrosse in the area to this point. “I'm excited to work with our guys to continue to grow into one of the best community-based programs in Ohio. We’ll aim to build excellent representatives of our school and program on and off the fi eld, through consistent culture/skill development, while winning a lot of games along the way. Go Eagles!” Milford's boys were 2-16 last season but shared the Eastern Cincinnati Conference title as recently as 2017. (Thanks to Shawn Sell, Milford Athletics)

Three local QBs on Manning Award Watch List Scott Springer
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
When you mention Manning and football, you think of dominance at the quarterback position. Archie Manning and his sons Peyton and Eli were all successful NFL and college quarterbacks and now have a family award. The Manning Award, sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl, is the only quarterback award factoring in a team's postseason performance. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was last year's winner leading LSU to the national championship. Now, the 2020 preseason Manning Award Watch List is out and the honor could again have a local fl avor. Of the 30 top quarterbacks selected, Ball State's Drew Plitt (Loveland High School), Penn State's Sean Cliff ord (St. Xavier) and Minnesota's Tanner Morgan (Ryle High School) made the list. It's Morgan's second year on the watch list, which this year also includes Ohio State's Justin Fields and Clemson's Trevor Lawrence. Plitt came from a Wing-T off ense at Loveland that won the 2013 Ohio Division II state championship with a 15-0 record. In that game, he completed all four passes he threw, with two going for touchdowns. At Ball State, he averaged more than 243 yards passing per game last year, a fi gure he only surpassed once in high school. His season-high was 439 against Fordham. "I think I knew I could do it," Plitt said of his blos-

ond 29-28 win over Anderson, which was won on Gundrum’s two-point conversion reception with 19 seconds left. Manaster totaled more than 20 yards per catch. “They’re stepping in and doing a great job of helping the young receivers and communicating,” McCullough said. “We have some weapons that are doing great and the quarterback will be stepping into a situation where the cupboard is not bare.” McCullough believes that for any successful season to occur, a team must stay healthy and stay lucky. Last year, luck stayed on Turpin’s side with narrow wins over Anderson and Kings to take the ECC crown. Staying healthy was another story as the Spartans had numerous fi rst-time starters on a defense that still led the ECC in total yards, scoring and pass defense. The injuries suff ered last season thrust some younger play-
soming college passing game. "It's a good feeling, but there's still a lot of work left to do. We have a lot of guys that have made award watch lists. Everyone just comes in and says congrats and let's keep moving on. We have bigger things to accomplish than winning awards." Plitt directed an off ense that led the Mid-American Conference in scoring (34.8 points per game) and total off ense (463.0 yards per game). His 24 touchdown passes were tops in the league. While keeping the team perspective, Plitt said playing in the state of Indiana and having Manning associated with your name is not a bad thing. "My grandparents (who live near Muncie) are as big a Manning fan as anybody," Plitt said. "To be on that list for them, they see that as an awesome thing." Plitt is now a redshirt senior at Ball State where the Cardinals are slated to start Sept. 12 against Iowa State. Ryle's Morgan was one of the fi nalists for last year's honor, making All-Big Ten Second Team and setting school single-season records for passing yards (3,253), touchdown passes (30), completion percentage (66.0%), passing yards per game (250.2), touchdown-interception ratio (4.28) and pass effi ciency rating (178.7) in 2019. "It’s an honor to be on the Manning Award Watch List, but it is really a testament to my coaches and teammates," Morgan said. "I wouldn’t be where I am without them. Our coaching staff does an elite job by putting people in positions to excel and my teammates are tremendous."
Having studied the Manning family's football exploits. Morgan also has mastered the quarterback art of dishing off credit in addition to passes. "The off ensive line does all the dirty work upfront and those guys never get any of the credit they deserve," Morgan said. "Our tight ends can block and catch and give me a lot of options and our receivers can make a bad throw look elite. Then, we have the running backs, who are physical and pick up yardage, but they can also block and give me extra time when I need it. Football is a team game and any recognition I receive is a refl ection of that." In the new conference-only confi guration of the Big Ten, Morgan's Minnesota Golden Gophers are set to begin at Michigan State Sept. 5. Morgan is a redshirt junior and is the cousin of former Kentucky and Cleveland Browns quarterback Tim Couch. Also from the Big Ten, former St. Xavier state championship quarterback Sean Cliff ord made the preseason list. Cliff ord threw for 2,654 yards and 23 touchdowns last season for Penn State. That included games of 398 yards against Maryland and 340 against Morgan's Minnesota squad. Cliff ord is a junior for the Nittany Lions who are scheduled to start with Northwestern Sept. 5. He led Coach Steve Specht's St. Xavier Bombers to the Ohio Division I state title in 2016 Other quarterbacks can be nominated throughout the year with 10 fi nalists eventually making the cut. The Manning Award winner is named after college football's national championship game.
ers into starting slots on Friday night, which could pay dividends this year. “We had four brand new defensive starters when we walked into Kings last year and beat them 27-24. That’s scary because Kings is a very good program, but those kids that got that experience are coming into this year ready to go,” McCullough said. McCullough noted defensive end Will Myres as a name to watch after a 5.5-sack season in 2019. Matthew Johnson is back at corner having played 10 games last season after starter Mark Middendorf broke his ankle in the season-opener. Drew Covington and Branson Faul will also make up the starting secondary and Ben Cushman has experience on the defensive line. Turpin will have to replace three starting linebackers from a year ago. “We’ve learned at Turpin that we preach the fundamentals and being hard-nosed and physical and doing things the right way,” McCullough said. “We might not be as athletic as everyone in the league, but we’re gonna be as perfect as we possibly can be.” McCullough has been focusing on making sure his
players are controlling what they can control during the pandemic. While Turpin’s practices feature a team properly following protocols, they are still aggressively seeking another ECC title. McCullough has enjoyed the preseason sessions as the “only three hours of normalcy” he gets in a given day with so much uncertainty. One thing that won’t be normal for Turpin is its opponents. The ECC welcomed in three teams — Winton Woods, Little Miami and Lebanon — to the fold starting in the 2020-2021 school year. Winton Woods went to the state tournament in two of the last three years and Little Miami has been one of the top squads in the Southwest Ohio Conference (SWOC). Turpin starts the season with Lakota East, then ends the year against Winton Woods, Kings and Anderson, three teams that have combined for a 97-39 record since 2016. “It’s gonna be a meat-grinder,” McCullough said. “The ECC is defi nitely pushing the GMC right now as far as being one of the better conferences in our area. Our schedule is gonna be tough from Week 1 to Week 10.”

Check newspaper, online for info on OVAM Machinery Show Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist
Howdy folks, The OVAM Machinery Show is supposed to start Aug. 13. I talked to the president and they are still planning to hold the show. The OVAM dinner meeting was canceled due to the virus. They plan to feature John Deere tractors ranging from year 1924, 1927, 1935, 1947 to 1963. The show is one of the best, but if the show is canceled, they will put it in the paper I imagine. I see that the Ohio State Fair was canceled due to this virus. I normally open the show with prayer, but this year Jim Ferrree will open the show in my place. Then on Sunday, the church service will be done by a church from Georgetown or Mt. Orab. I will miss the show this year due to my fall, but things happen beyond your control and I hope that next year I will be able to do these things. God willing. Talked to Sherry’s Lake and they caught some big catfi sh. One was a 54 pounder and there were two 30
pounders. Sherry stocked this time with some big catfi sh so you will need some good fi shing equipment and heavy line to handle these big boys. They keep their lake stocked with good fi sh and big ones. The vegetables at the green houses are sure doing good. The Grants Farm will have ripe corn by the time you read this. Bill Sweeney also will has sweet corn, tomatoes, cucumbers and more vegetables at his stand just about 1 mile above Bethel. I hear that the green beans are very plentiful this year. The green houses are starting to get ready for fall so if you need fall fl owers or bulbs to plant keep a check on the greenhouse. Talked to Cedar Lake and the fi shing has been very good with lots of fi sh being caught. The biggest one was a blue cat that weighed 54 pounds and a shovel head catfi sh that weighed 46 pounds. I have a tomato plant given to me so as the tomatoes ripen more than I can eat, I give my neighbors some. They enjoy them. That is what the good Lord wants each of us to do – share with our neighbors so they can have some good eating. Last Sunday, Paula and her sister Donna came down to see me. Paula’s sister said she looked out the
window the other morning and there were deer standing there. She lives close to the Nazarene church in Bethel and when they went outside the deer ran. It doesn’t make any diff erence where you are, the deer will visit. Hopefully, next year we can have a service at the Old Bethel Church in the East Fork Park. I hate to miss one of the programs due to this virus and me laid up, but by next year I should, by the grace of God, be able to do this church program. Now the Clermont County Fair this year only had the junior fair or 4-H kids participate. Ethan Kinner had ducks and they are Khaki Campbell ducks and were Grand Champion lightweight ducks, Grand Champion waterfowl, Grand Champion exhibition poultry and won best won best birds in the barn. Ethan also had goats that won Grand Champion Jr. with his Nubian goat named Sassy and Grand Champion Sr with his Nubian goat named JoJo. The cats are doing good. Start your week by praying and praising the good Lord. God bless all... More later...
COMMUNITY NEWS Clermont DD joins Disability Pride 2020 July 26 marked the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). To recognize this accomplishment, Hamilton County Developmental Disabilities Services joined with several sponsors to spread awareness about this important piece of legislation. The Clermont County Board of Developmental Disabilities (Clermont DD) was proud to participate in this awareness campaign called “Disability Pride 2020.” This month-long event consisted of several activities including a proclamation from Cincinnati City Council, a virtual panel discussion that included prominent employers and disability experts, as well as a virtual award ceremony to honor local partners who have been champions of accessibility and inclusion over the years. Lastly, several Honk and Wave events were held during the week of July 20 to raise additional community awareness. Among those events was a Honk and Wave hosted by Clermont DD at the Union Township Veterans Memorial Park on Friday, July 24. Members of the self advocacy group Turn Up Clermont held banners and waved to lunch traffi c on Glen Este-Withamsville Road. Those who participated were overwhelmed at the attention they received from those who passed by. “It was a great way to spread disability pride,” said Austin Porter, a self advocate from Batavia and a member of Turn Up Clermont. “It showed everyone that people with disabilities have voices and that they want to be heard.” President George H. W. Bush signed ADA into law on July 26, 1990. Since that time, ADA has helped the American society transform by assisting them to fi nd ways for all people to enter buildings through doorways that have been enlarged, staircases that have become ramps, and signs that have become more user friendly to those with sight or reading challenges. The ADA has also assisted people with disabilities to learn how to speak for themselves and has helped the community learn how to better listen to their wants and needs. “By participating in awareness events like the honk and wave, we encourage our community to continue to be inclusive,” said Angie Stanton, Clermont DD Activity Coordinator. “Clermont County is a great community and has always supported our agency. It’s nice to see that, even on a hot day at lunchtime, people are still supportive of the people we serve.” To view other Disability Pride events throughout the Cincinnati area, search #CincyADA30 on social media. If you are interested in learning more about Clermont DD or the ADA law, visit clermontdd.org. Lisa, Davis, Clermont DD Director of Community Relations
Anderson Township Library Association turns the big 4-0 This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Anderson Township Library Association (originally known as the Anderson Library Committee). In the mid-1970s, a small group of Library users and
Austin Porter (top, left), is a member of the Turn Up Clermont Self Advocacy Group who stood with others from Clermont DD to encourage drivers to Honk and Wave at an awareness event on July 24. Porter was joined by Amber Ramsey, Patty Porter, and Angie Stanton at the Union Township Veterans Memorial Park to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act Law. PROVIDED
parents wrote to the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County asking that a new branch be built in Anderson Township since the Mt. Washington Branch wasn’t big enough to serve the growing population of nearby Anderson. Eventually, the Library purchased land at the corner of State and Five Mile roads, but funding hit a snag. Residents of the area were asked to help by raising money and the Anderson Library Committee (ALC) was formed in 1979. The ALC decided to hold a used book sale. The fi rst book sale was held at Beechmont Mall in October 1980, with another sale in early 1981. Letters were sent to business, schools, churches, asking for used books and monetary donations. Donation barrels were set up at the mall, at the Ohio License Bureau, and other spots; book donations also came from committee members’ own collections. The most touching donation was $7.65 from a class of fourth-grade students at Summit School. According to an April 17, 1980, Cincinnati Post article, class president Pete Sweeney wrote in a letter, “We are anxious for the Anderson Library to open because we are nuts about books.” The Anderson Library Committee’s fi rst sale at the mall was one day and the books fi lled three card tables. Eager shoppers took home bags of books and $1,024 was raised. Longtime area residents may even remember ALC volunteers gift-wrapping books at B. Dalton Bookseller to raise money during the holidays. Now, it’s 40 years later, and the book sales continue even amid a pandemic. Lisa Mauch, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County
Senate Bill 4 Some of Anderson Township’s road maintenance costs will soon be covered from a new source, thanks to a bill recently passed that allows townships to draw road funding from certain Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Funds. Governor Mike DeWine recently signed Senate Bill 4 into law, which allows townships to temporarily use a portion of unencumbered TIF funds to cover costs associated with road repair and maintenance. This bill allows those expenses to be paid through mid-2022. TIF funds, derived from new construction, are typically limited to capital improvement projects and cannot be used for operating and maintenance expenses, according to Fiscal Offi cer Ken Dietz. “Anderson Township stretched its current road levy 22 years,” Anderson Township Administrator Vicky Earhart noted. “However, this levy only generates a portion of the funds it did in 1998, when adopted by the voters. At the same time, the township’s maintenance responsibilities have increased dramatically, so we anticipated needing to return to the voters this fall to renew this levy.” The bill was championed by Township Trustee Chair Josh Gerth. “The Board of Trustees was faced with asking our constituents to consider a levy this fall, a measure we did not wish to take given the hardships many of our residents are facing due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” Gerth noted. Gerth worked with the Ohio Legislature, State Representative Bill Seitz, as well as Chip Gerhart, an Anderson resident and lobbyist, in pursuing a creative approach to utilize its TIF funds to stretch the levy and meet growing township maintenance needs. “Through strategic planning and sound fi scal management, we had amassed a healthy balance in our TIF budget, but yet these could not be used to address our See COMMUNITY, Page 5B

road maintenance needs,” Gerth said. Townships have little opportunities, other than property tax, to generate funds for operations, he noted. “Simply stated, this bill helps our community and will save our taxpayers money,” Gerth added. Had Anderson Township voters adopted an anticipated 2-mil levy that was being discussed this fall, a property owner’s tax bill would have increased by $70 a year per $100,000 valuation. Dietz estimated the passage of the Senate bill will save the owner of a home with a $250,000 auditor valuation a total of $700 for 2021 and 2022. Gerth was also joined by Green Township Trustee Tony Rosiello who worked on the safety levy components of the bill.

Get the family out of the house without spending a dime Ault Park
Charles Infosino Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
The best things in life are free is not just a song. It is a true statement about family fun. COVID-19 caused many people to lose income, and in some cases, their livelihoods. As the economy reopens, there are many opportunities for families to fi nally get out of their homes and enjoy free fun.
21c Museum Hotel 21c is a 156-room boutique hotel, home of Metropole restaurant and features a contemporary art museum. This museum is free to the public and open 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. The museum displays contemporary art from the hotel founders’ private collection and rotates an average of every nine months. There are also seven permanent pieces of art at the museum. The 21c Museum Hotel is scheduled to reopen on July 6. 609 Walnut St., Downtown; 21cmuseumhotels.com/cincinnati.
Ault Park is a public park in Cincinnati that has nine diff erent trails with 23 diff erent tree trail species, gardens and free events. It also features the Garden of Old Roses, Adopt-a-Plot gardens and the Great Lawn Garden. The park typically hosts free events, such as the summer music festivals, which have been postponed because of COVID-19. 5090 Observatory Circle, Mount Lookout; www.aultparkac.org.
Big Bone Lick State Historic Site Big Bone Lick is a state park with a free museum and visitor center.

from a new source, thanks to a bill recently passed that allows townships to draw road funding from certain Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Funds. Governor Mike DeWine recently signed Senate Bill 4 into law, which allows townships to temporarily use a portion of unencumbered TIF funds to cover costs associated with road repair and maintenance. This bill allows those expenses to be paid through mid-2022. TIF funds, derived from new construction, are typically limited to capital improvement projects and cannot be used for operating and maintenance expenses, according to Fiscal Offi cer Ken Dietz. “Anderson Township stretched its current road levy 22 years,” Anderson Township Administrator Vicky Earhart
noted. “However, this levy only generates a portion of the funds it did in 1998, when adopted by the voters. At the same time, the township’s maintenance responsibilities have increased dramatically, so we anticipated needing to return to the voters this fall to renew this levy.” The bill was championed by Township Trustee Chair Josh Gerth. “The Board of Trustees was faced with asking our constituents to consider a levy this fall, a measure we did not wish to take given the hardships many of our residents are facing due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” Gerth noted. Gerth worked with the Ohio Legislature, State Representative Bill Seitz, as well as Chip Gerhart, an Anderson resident and lobbyist, in pursuing a creative approach to utilize its TIF funds to stretch the levy and meet growing town-
ship maintenance needs. “Through strategic planning and sound fi scal management, we had amassed a healthy balance in our TIF budget, but yet these could not be used to address our road maintenance needs,” Gerth said. Townships have little opportunities, other than property tax, to generate funds for operations, he noted. “Simply stated, this bill helps our community and will save our taxpayers money,” Gerth added. Had Anderson Township voters adopted an anticipated 2-mil levy that was being discussed this fall, a property owner’s tax bill would have increased by $70 a year per $100,000 valuation. Dietz estimated the passage of the Senate bill will save the owner of a home with a $250,000 auditor valuation a total of $700 for 2021 and 2022.
Gerth was also joined by Green Township Trustee Tony Rosiello who worked on the safety levy components of the bill. Anderson Township
