Will drop in mammography lead to rise in breast cancer? Anne Saker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

For years, Dana Spradling of the Cincinnati suburb of Maineville joined the nearly 65% of American women who got annual mammograms to screen for breast cancer. This year, she did not allow the uncertainties of the new coronavirus pandemic to deter her. The May appointment, she said, was “a piece of normal.” As she sheltered in place at home for months, Cindy McDonald of the Summit County city of New Franklin delayed a mammogram and other medical care. On Oct. 16, she ﬁ nally got the cancer screening. “I just decided to suck it up and make all of my appointments,” she said.

Though more women are getting back on their mammogram schedules through the pandemic, alarmed cancer experts said Ohio and the nation now are caught in an unprecedented experiment with dangerous consequences. The pandemic has nearly undone decades of eﬀ ort – pink-ribbon 5K runs to raise research money, awareness campaigns anchored in October since 1985, ultimately better insurance coverage of mammography – to persuade women not to forget about the one tool that ﬁ nds breast tumors early, when they are most treatable and survivable. Although mortality has dropped over the past 30 years, breast cancer remains the second-leading cause of cancer deaths for Ohio women after lung cancer. The Ohio Department of Health reports that in 2016, 1,710 women and 18

men died of breast cancer. Mammograms are recommended every two years for women 50 to 74 at average risk for breast cancer. Women 40 to 49 should talk to their health care professionals about when to start and how often to get a mammogram. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has set a goal of 80% of women getting mammograms. By 2015, the rate was about 65% overall. But the pandemic slammed preventive medicine, and health systems now report startling decreases in mammography. UC Health reports mammography remains down 43% as of early October even though nonessential services, including cancer screening, resumed May 1 across Ohio. See CANCER, Page 5A

Ready to be spooked? Head to HyperShine in Amelia for a Halloween scare

Williamsburg man says he was ﬁ red over ‘war coming’ TikTok video Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

One local car wash is giving out scares this Halloween by transforming into a “Tunnel of Terror.” The family-friendly event will feature skeletons, clowns and monsters at HyperShine Car Wash in Amelia. The event runs every Friday and Saturday from 7-9 p.m. through Oct. 31. It costs $20 per car or $15 if you bring a canned food item. Hypershine is donating canned items to local food banks. Admission into the Tunnel of Terror is free for FastPass members.

Dr. Abigail Tremelling, a Mercy Health breast surgical oncologist in the Eastgate Medical Center, worries about the lag in mammography among women in Ohio due to the pandemic.

31-year-old Zachary Poole of Williamsburg, Ohio says he was ﬁ red after a video he posted on TikTok was “taken out of context” and shared across multiple social media platforms. In the video, Poole seemed to threaten violence if presidential candidate Joe Biden were to win the election in November. “I don’t know if a lot of y’all understand this or not, but come November there’s a war coming,” Poole says in the video. But Poole told The Enquirer he didn’t mean to threaten violence. His comments in the video, he says, aimed to draw attention to the deep division the country has displayed in the weeks leading up to the presidential election. Whichever party loses, Poole said, will likely protest. If Biden wins, Poole said he and others “will be standing up for our rights.” “And how we would go about doing that is peaceful protesting,” Poole said. “We wouldn’t be burning streets down, or anything like that. We would stand up for what’s right. I’m not looking for no war, I’m not racist, or anything like that. I’m not part of no group or nothing.” Nevertheless, Poole says liberal social media accounts linked him to the Proud Boys, a far-right group with a history of violent confrontations. Concerned individuals called his employer and even the police. See VIDEO, Page 2A

FBI, police investigate

“I didn’t even know what that meant until all this started happening,” Poole said. “I didn’t even know there was a group called Proud Boys until all this.” Poole said he believes those accusations cost him his job at Arch Materials, LLC, where he said he had been working for about seven months. “Everybody across the U.S. was calling me in, trying to get me ﬁ red,” Poole said. “And with them reporting it to my company, they said it was against core values and they ﬁ red me.”

Williamsburg Police confi rmed they were investigating the video on Oct. 2. On Oct. 15, Williamsburg Chief of Police Michael Gregory said the case was closed. “Our department, along with the Cincinnati fi eld offi ce of the FBI, spoke to Mr. Poole about the posting and at this time there is no charges going to be fi led,” Gregory said. The Federal Bureau of Investigation cannot confi rm or deny the existence of investigations, an FBI spokesperson said. The Enquirer has requested documents regarding a possible federal investigation into Poole’s video. Williamsburg Police received at least

Miami Christian Academy didn't close for COVID-19 Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer

two complaints about the video, one of which came from a concerned citizen in California, Gregory said. One of the complaints included a link to the video. “The reason why I say there’s a war coming is cuz if Trump wins, Black Lives Matter and all them other Antifa dumbasses are gonna try to start war. We ready, don’t worry. We ready, us rednecks and stuﬀ , we ready for y’all. But if Biden wins, we coming, and we coming strong,” Poole said in the video. No charges were ﬁ led in Clermont County, according to a search of public records.

‘Freedom of speech is no longer free’ Rogers Group Inc. spokesperson Tom Kenley provided a statement regarding the video in early October, but at the time did not conﬁ rm Poole’s employment status. “The endorsement of political violence in Mr. Poole’s social media post is contrary to the core values of Arch Materials, LLC and Rogers Group, Inc. Arch Materials and Rogers Group condemn in the strongest possible terms Mr. Poole’s encouragement of violence and demand that any media post suggesting

otherwise, or in any way connecting Rogers Group or Arch Materials to Mr. Poole’s views be removed,” the statement reads. “Basically it’s coming down to where freedom of speech is no longer free,” Poole said. “Look what happened. I did freedom of speech and it cost me my job and it cost me my livelihood, and everything.” On top of losing his job, Poole and his wife, 32-year-old Kristin Poole, say they have received death threats online. “Just talking about it gets me upset,” she said. “Because that’s not who he is. That’s not my husband. “My husband is the most kindest person that you will ever meet. And if you are a friend of his, he will give you the shirt off his back. And that’s who he is. (It) doesn’t matter what color you are, it doesn’t matter what sexuality you have, it does not matter.” No reports of threats towards the Pooles have been fi led in Clermont County court. Kenley told The Enquirer the company will not be providing further comment at this time. Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Oct. 15.

Attorney: Plush lawsuit 'may just save a life in the future' Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

An attorney for the family of a teen who died after becoming trapped inside a minivan despite calling 911 twice asked a state appeals court to allow a lawsuit to proceed, so all the facts about what happened become known. That will help city of Cincinnati employees and offi cials, as well as other 911 responders, “be their best selves every day – and may just save a life in the future,” attorney Al Gerhardstein said during oral arguments Oct. 20. An attorney for the city said a lawsuit isn’t needed to force improvements to the 911 system. That has already hapPlush pened and will continue to happen, Assistant City Solicitor Emily Woerner told the three-judge panel. “The city, every day since this incident happened, has worked to improve its 911 system,” Woerner said. “We are continuing to improve…so we can ensure this tragedy never happens again.” She said the city and its employees should be immune from liability. Typically, municipalities and their employees are immune from lawsuits alleging negligence, but courts have said they can be held liable for reckless or wanton actions. A Hamilton County Common Pleas Court judge ruled in January that the lawsuit could proceed. The city then appealed to the 1st District Court of Appeals. The lawsuit was fi led last year. It described a deteriorating 911 system in the months leading up to the death of 16-year-old Kyle Plush. The afternoon of April 10, 2018, as the school day was ending, Kyle became trapped inside a Honda Odyssey parked outside Seven Hills School. Kyle was pinned by the minivan's third-row seat, but still managed to call 911 twice by voice-activating his iPhone in his pocket. Gerhardstein said the fi rst call taker knew Kyle was in trouble because she heard “pounding” and heard him say, “I am going to die soon.” Despite that, he said the call taker waited seven minutes before entering anything into the computerized dispatch system – misclassifying it as “unknown trouble” instead of the highest level of emergency. That meant fi refi ghters didn't respond, although two offi cers were sent to the school. The second call-taker, Gerhardstein said, completely failed to respond to the call. She was working overtime that day and according to Gerhardstein had made social media posts saying she “hated overtime” and “hated her job.” According to Gerhardstein, she heard Kyle asking for help at the beginning of that second call, and near the end heard him say, “Hey Siri,” which indicated he

Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot Isaac speaks to reporters about the death Kyle Plush during an April 2018 news conference. He showed a stock image of a 2002 Honda Odyssey, which was the same make, model and generation of Kyle's vehicle. THE ENQUIRER/MEG VOGEL

was using the iPhone’s voice-activation feature. She didn’t hear anything else, including Kyle describe the vehicle and its location, because she engaged a function used for hearing-impaired calls, which the city says reduced the volume of the call. Even so, Gerhardstein said she read the computerized dispatch report, saw that Kyle was trapped and hadn’t been rescued, but didn’t contact offi cers “who were there when Kyle was still alive.” During arguments, Judge Pierre Bergeron asked Woerner why the fi rst call wasn’t categorized as the highest emergency. “What would be higher than ‘I’m going to die?'” Bergeron said. Woerner responded by outlining the city’s main argument that its employees, at worst, acted with negligence. In order for the lawsuit to proceed, she said, the Plush family has to show the call takers, the police offi cers and others were reckless – that they knew their actions would “in all probability result in injury.” Gerhardstein said the two offi cers who were given

an address and location description and could have entered it into their mobile computer or even a cellphone. Had they done that, they would have been pointed to an area in the parking lot close to where Kyle’s minivan was parked. But they didn’t search the entire lot, Gerhardstein said. “They were eating. They were playing the radio,” he said. “They literally thought this was a prank… They didn’t treat this as a high priority call.” An attorney for the offi cers, Kimberly Rutowski, said they conducted a search, driving through parking lots for 11 minutes, but didn't fi nd any indication someone was in trouble. It's not known when the court's three-judge panel, which includes Bergeron as well as Russell Mock and Candace Crouse, will issue a decision.

Cancer Continued from Page 1A

“People have to balance the risks of coming out of their homes,” said a “quite worried” Dr. Mary Mahoney, chief of imaging at UC Health. “But for those people who are resuming normal activities, going to work, going to restaurants, going to social events: Where does taking responsibility for your own personal health fall into this?” Bon Secours Mercy Health is down 25% in mobile screenings in 2020 over 2019, said spokeswoman Nanette Bentley. In Clermont County alone between March and September, more than 2,700 Mercy Health patients have missed their annual mammograms. Dr. Abigail Tremelling, a Mercy Health breast surgical oncologist in the Eastgate Medical Center, said, “My biggest concern is that we know that mammography saves lives. The earliest way to diagnose breast cancer is before you feel a mass in your breast. I’m worried we’ll see more advanced cancers the longer that people delayed this important test.” Epic, the electronic medical records company, reported in July that nationally, breast cancer screenings were still nearly 30% below what would be expected by that month in any other year. In June, the chief of the National Cancer Institute warned that forecast models show an additional 10,000 Americans will die just of breast and colorectal cancer in the next 10 years due to the delays in screenings. Black women are at particular risk for

breast cancer. The American Cancer Society fi nds they are likelier than white women to get breast cancer before 40 and more likely to die of it at any age. Buckeye Health Plan, which covers many Medicaid and Medicare patients, has combatted the pandemic delays in mammography by paying patients’ transportation costs and an incentive of between $50 and $75. “We do a lot to encourage mammograms,” said Monique Gladden, a registered nurse in charge of Buckeye Health Plan’s member outreach. “We are working with individuals to overcome barriers. Transportation is a big barrier, so we often that assistance or help with coordinating other issues.”’ McDonald, 67, a retired high school principal, hunkered down through the spring and summer. She keeps a wary eye on the case numbers for the coronarvirus as she checks off the mammogram and other screenings from her todo list. "For so long, we were scared. We didn’t want to go to restaurants or go shopping. I just started to get a little bit more confi dent. And now, it’s all back again and I’m thinking: Get in there, get it done and get out.” Spradling, an organizational consultant who is 53, said scheduling her mammogram in May gave her a sense that “I am in control and in charge of the choices that I make” in navigating the pandemic’s “daily series of unknowns.” “The unknown is where the fear has settled in,” she said. “The human condition doesn't deals with the unknown very well.” Betty Lin-Fisher of the Akron BeaconJournal contributed.

New plan seeks Ohio River improvements by 2030 Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Human activity along the Ohio River reduced wildlife habitats that contributed to more than 600 species becoming threatened or endangered, according to a report from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. But, there's a plan to improve the waterfront. The report released Oct. 21 included plans to improve the Ohio River Basin in 15 states by 2030. The report was prepared by the Army Corps of Engineers, the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO) and the Ohio River Basin Alliance (ORBA). The plan covers portions of the states of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. It aims to use the Ohio River the way states revitalized the Chesapeake Bay and the Florida Everglades, according to the release. "We have a historic opportunity to stand up for communities large and small in the region – and we are going to do it. We look forward to working with stakeholders in the region, as well as local offi cials, governors, and members of Congress to implement these common-sense solutions before these challenges get more diffi cult and costly. We have solutions, and it’s time to use them," said Harry Stone, chairperson of the Ohio River Basin Alliance, in a press release. Here are the six priorities in the plan: h Restore the river, its tributaries, and ecosystems to protect the health of people, fi sh, and wildlife. h Address fl ooding to protect vulnerable communities and infrastructure. h Ensure there's abun-

dant clean water for people, fi sh and wildlife, and businesses. h Increase naturebased recreation and tourism. h Grow water-borne commerce and ensure effi cient waterborne commerce through an adequate lock and dam infrastructure. h Support research and education to inform the needs and opportunities of the region. There are dozens of strategies the groups created to improve the basin. Here are some of the goals: 1 From 2021 - 2025, grow the outdoor recreation economy at a rate that exceeds the national average. 2 By 2021, establish coalitions to address research needs and map out an Ohio River research investment strategy. 3 By 2022, develop a plan for Ohio River Basin restoration through the identifi cation and protection of at-risk ecosystems. 4 By 2025, identify areas with high inci-

dences of harmful algae blooms and prepare a strategy to reduce the number of blooms that occur in 2030 compared to 2020. 5 By 2025, identify drinking and wastewater system infrastructure needs and develop a strategy to maintain these systems. 6 By 2025, create an investment plan to address high fl ood risk areas. 7 By 2025, prepare a plan to update and expand components of an adequate fl ood warning system incorporating climate change considerations. 8 By 2030, demonstrate that more water bodies in the Ohio River Basin meet the Clean Water Act’s drinkable, swimmable, and fi shable uses as compared to 2020.

7 small miracles of Cincinnati: Pandemic Edition Keith Pandolﬁ Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

There’s a lot to be anxious about these days. From politics to the pandemic, most of us have a hard time putting the bad stuﬀ on the back burner, and are (nervously, cautiously, always wearing a mask) trying to enjoy life again. Turning to the simple joys in life is all we've got right now. So, in that spirit, I want to shine a light on some food-related things that, in one way or another, have kept me going during the past seven months. Sure, they're small. Some might even say they're a little bit weird, but I want to share these in hopes you might ﬁ nd some joy in them, too.

1) The *fake* tree behind The Precinct Maybe it’s the placement on an otherwise desolate intersection of Walworth and Delta in Columbia Tusculum, but the illuminated tree behind the Precinct always lifts my spirits whenever I pass it by. Up until, well, Oct. 14, I thought the tree was real. But when I called Britney Ruby, CEO of Jeff Ruby Culinary Entertainment, she told me that no, her father (that'd be Jeff Ruby) purchased it at a restaurant trade show in Chicago years ago. That its trunk was made of fi berglass; its bright LED-illuminated lights, polyurethane. It didn’t matter. I still love it just the same. I also love that the Precinct, known to many as a splurge for special occasions, off ers up this everyday extravagance for free to people passing by on their way home, perhaps dreaming of a Precinct steak of their own someday soon.

2) The Classical Music at Fresh Market When someone asked me recently why I insisted on shopping at Fresh Market in Oakley, despite the fact that there are several grocery stores closer to my house, my answer was simple: “The classical music.” Instead of acoustically oﬀ -kilter pop music interrupted every 10 seconds by

The ﬁ berglass tree outside of the Precinct restaurant. KEITH PANDOLFI/CINCINNATI ENQUIRER

an intercom alert about another catastrophe in aisle ﬁ ve, Fresh Market is ﬁ lled with overtures and symphonies that, in these anxious times, serve as escape to an English countryside or a Vienna concert hall. Turns out, the North Carolinabased gourmet food chain has made classical music store policy, going so far as to sell self-branded CDs you can still buy online.

3) The “front porch” stage at Arnold’s To me, the little green stage in Arnold’s courtyard is Cincinnati’s miniature version of the Grand Ol’ Opry. With its old Coke signs and rusted license plates, it evokes a small town front porch where grandpa might strum his banjo on a Sunday afternoon, though its ﬂ oor was salvaged from the venerable Shubert Theatre, its spindles and banisters rescued by numerous dumpster dives by former owner Jim Tarbell in 1970s Over-the-Rhine. At a time when live music is hard to come by, you can still settle down in the courtyard, drink a cold beer and think about the good old days (which, in our case, would be 2019).

cookbooks, including those glorious old church and community cookbooks that are held together with plastic loop bindings and ﬁ lled with forgotten recipes for the cottage hams and green bean casseroles that fed so many Ohio families that came before us.

tion for me when I moved back to Cincinnati. As long as you can clear the 8'-2" vehicle height restriction, you can grab a cold six-pack and some of the city's best pizza, as well as hoagies, salads and assorted appetizers, from the comfort of your own car. The fact that Trotta’s was among the ﬁ rst Cincinnati pizzerias to oﬀ er goetta as a topping is all the more reason to love it. If you've never been, pick up some pizza to take home tonight (or do what I do and just devour it in the parking lot).

5) Impulse buying at Madison’s I rarely walk into Madison's at Findlay Market with a speciﬁ c purchase in mind. But I never leave empty handed. There’s always something at this old-timey grocery store that intrigues or inspires me to cook. A package of Rancho Gordo white beans will have me running home to make a time-intensive cassoulet; a jar of Indiana sorghum might lead to a batch of morning pancakes. A single persimmon will have me contemplating making persimmon pie (though I've never even once actually made a pie). Most of the produce is sourced from nearby farms, and they always have plenty of locally made foods, including Urban Stead Cheese, Sixteen Bricks bread, Madisono's Gelato and Russo’s Ravioli. Be sure to follow them on Facebook for updates on what’s new and/or in season.

7) Going back to Senate It’s been more than a decade since Senate, Daniel Wright’s gourmet hot dog shop and bar, opened on Vine Street. Since then, dozens of other restaurants have joined in the chorus of OTR’s restaurant resurrection. But Senate is still as good as ever. After Dan told me there was a new chef at the helm, I went there with a friend last week for lunch. Sitting outside, I couldn't help but worry about OTR’s future; the restaurants that will survive, the one’s that won’t. I ordered a burger and a glass of beer and talked to my friend about what's going on in our lives, both good and bad. As we talked, the seats ﬁ lled up around us. On my second beer, I looked down Vine Street and realized that the leaves on the trees along it had all turned to gold.

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS – Carryout cocktails will continue in Ohio after the threat of the novel coronavirus is gone. Gov. Mike DeWine signed a pair of alcohol-related bills on Tuesday. One made permanent a rule allowing bars and restaurants to sell drinks with to-go meal orders. Carry-out drinks were approved in early April as a way to support the struggling bar and restaurant industry after dining rooms were closed in March. The new law allows customers to order up to three drinks to go with a food order. Drinks must be sealed before sale and cannot be consumed on the premises. Bars and restaurants were forced to close their dining rooms in March, have been limited in how many people they can serve since May and were barred from sales after 10 p.m. since July. A recent Ohio Restaurant Association survey of restaurant owners and operators found 4 out of 5 won’t break even this year. Half don’t expect their business to survive into 2021 if conditions don’t change. The law also allows liquor permit

holders to expand the area where they sell alcoholic beverages and outdoor spaces where patrons can drink through Dec. 21, 2022. The second alcohol bill was sponsored by Rep. Catherine Ingram, a Democrat from the Cincinnati neighborhood of Mount Auburn, as a way to help alcoholic ice cream makers like Maineville's Buzzed Bull Creamery broaden their reach. The new law allows ice cream makers to ship their boozy concoctions to customers and stores licensed to sell beer and liquor. A bevy of alcohol provisions were added to the bill, including doubling the number of outdoor refreshment areas for municipalities with less than 50,000 residents. Bars and restaurants can expand alcohol sales in spaces adjacent to the property, but only until DeWine ends his state of emergency or Dec. 1, whichever comes fi rst. A microdistillery can now sell four 750ml bottles of liquor per customer per day instead of two bottles. Both laws took eff ect immediately. The bills received some pushback from addiction support groups and others concerned about the expansion of Ohio's alcohol laws without evaluating all the eff ects.

Variations show ‘just how iconic caramel popcorn is with Halloween’ Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

You’ve heard me say before that it doesn’t take much to please me. Today, I received another “gift without ribbons.” Friends Ray and Roger Davis brought a dump truck load of horse manure for my gardens. Black gold is what I call it! We’ll spread the manure out evenly, and let it continue to age until spring. Seeing those mounds of black gold takes the sting out of having to bush hog what remained of the veggies and ﬂ owers. This is the time of year, too – Halloween – for fun, uncomplicated fare, like caramel popcorn. Looking at the

The flavor is as close as I can get to the real Cracker Jacks.

Over medium heat in large saucepan, bring to a boil everything but vanilla and soda. Boil 5 minutes.

good)

Coating

1 oz. packet dry ranch dressing mix

2 sticks butter

Instructions Preheat oven to 200. Mix cereals, crackers, pretzels, Bugles and nuts together. Melt butter, wings sauce and Worcestershire over low heat. Then whisk in celery seed and ranch dressing mix.

Cool and store, covered, at room temperature.

Pour in single layers onto sprayed sheets. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to distribute coating. Let cool for coating to harden.

Pour over cereal mixture and mix well. Pour onto sprayed baking sheets or large roasting pan and bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

2 cups light or dark brown sugar or combo

Immediately pour over popcorn mixture, stirring well to coat.

I put popped corn in big bowl before measuring. I scoop up popcorn in my hands, leaving unpopped kernels in bottom.

Instructions Preheat oven to 200. To avoid sticking, use vegetable spray to coat large bowl, cookie sheets and spoon. Put popcorn and nuts in bowl. Set

Dark brown vs light brown sugar Dark brown sugar contains more molasses, is darker in color and has a stronger, more caramel-like flavor.

Locals play in DII, III state golf ﬁ nals. advance to DI state Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Some quality individual and team golfers recently represented Greater Cincinnati well in both DII/DIII state and DI district play. The area was represented by some qualifying individual golfers plus Bishop Fenwick in the boys and girls Division II state tournament and Seven Hills challenged in the Division III boys meet. Playing in the Division II state tournament, the Fenwick boys team had the highest-team fi nish, shooting a 659 for the No. 6 spot, 44 strokes behind winner Gahanna Columbus Academy. Luke Metzger led Fenwick with an eight-over par 150 good for seventh place, but Metzger wasn’t the top individual fi nisher in the area. Madeira’s Brandon Conner shot a 149, fi nishing in a tie for fi fth place just one stroke ahead of Metzger. Rounding out Fenwick’s day was Colin Schadek (167), Landon Schehr (171), Tyler Schehr (175) and Zach Hayek (183). Roger Bacon’s Adam Trigg-Holdman scored a 20th-place tie with his 20-over par 163 score. In the girls Division II tournament, Fenwick shot a team total 725 for the No.7 fi nish, fi nishing 95 strokes behind state champion Lima Central Catholic. Halley McNair was on top for Fenwick with 178. Teammate Jocelyn Wright was one stroke behind with a 179 and Kaitlyn Hemmelgarn had a 180. Natalie Allen (188) and Amelia Snyder (197) fi nished for Fenwick, all within the top 51 spots on the leaderboard. For the Division III boys (OHSAA has no Division III for girls golf), Seven Hills fi nished with a 715, good for ninth place out of 12 teams. Canton Central Catholic won the team title with its 615 score over two rounds.

Jacob Joﬀ e from Seven Hills had a top ﬁ nish, shooting an eight-over par 152, which put him at seventh in the state, just six strokes behind the winner from Berlin Hiland. Jack Holden (184), Collin Chen (189), Andrew Yang (190) and Matthew Weirich (202) wrapped up the event for Seven Hills. Middletown Christian’s Evan Green also appeared, shooting a 172 in a tie for 34th place. The Division I golf state tournaments started on Friday, Oct. 23, and wrapped up the next day. The boys were scheduled to play on the OSU Scarlet Course while the girls would play on the OSU Gray Course. Mason and Sycamore girls advanced to the tournament as teams. Mason adSee GOLF, Page 2B

SWOWCA cancels 2020 Coaches Classic tournament Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Southwest Ohio Wrestling Coaches Association announced that it was canceling its Coaches Classis tournament for the 2020-2021 season. “Following overwhelming concerns regarding the COVID-19 virus, the SWOWCA board feels it is in the best interest of all parties involved to cancel,” Tournament Director Joe Campolongo said in a press release. “As unfortunate as it is to make this decision, we feel it is the most appropriate action to take, given the current situation.” The wrestling tournament was scheduled for Dec. 19-20, but the organization said in the release it expects the Coaches Classic to return in December 2021. The 2019 Coaches Classic featured nearly 50 schools and hundreds of wrestlers from Ohio and Northern Kentucky in competition at Harrison High School.

Bass will be contributing to The Enquirer oﬀ ering advice for sports fans, athletes and youth sports parents and coaches through a weekly Q&A. To ask a question of Bass for potential publication, email him at mikebass3838@gmail.com. Sports is your passion. You would sooner forget your Social Security Number than the Big Red Machine’s lineup. March is Madness. Who Dey is in your password. As a sports fan, you don’t just follow a team, you follow your team. It is part of your identity. You are part of a community that supports your team and each other. Your connection is so powerful, you wear your heart on your sleeve of your team jersey and hate changing shirts or positions on the couch during a winning streak. Sports can be your great escape. Fandom can be your joy ride. Until it isn’t. The stress can get to you. Your emotions can overwhelm you. You are not alone. Maybe watching the Bengals lose eats at you, leaves you feeling miserable long after the game, wishing you could let it go instead of obsessing about Mike Brown or some 30 years without a playoﬀ win. Maybe you are having a hard time getting past a Reds season delayed, shortened, fanless and sabotaged by a rough start, when this was supposed to be your year? Maybe you are confused or angry over mixed messages about your kids playing sports, as if the decisions you face as a youth sports parent weren’t hard enough. I am here to help. Starting Nov. 5, I will be writing a weekly column for The Enquirer/Cincinnati.com, answering the types of questions you never get to ask – about you. I will help you deal with what has

you stuck or struggling, so you can make decisions that enrich your fandom and your life. I am a certiﬁ ed professional coach, specializing in helping sports fans, youth sports parents and sports widow (er)s deal with the stress of the game, the pain of defeat and even the loss of sports to COVID-19. And that is just the beginning. Time. Money. Relationships. Balance. Kids. Health. Fantasy teams. Gambling option. Social media. Social issues. All can weigh on you. I know. I am a sports fan, too. And Cincinnati is special to me. I spent the heart of my career with you, living my dream as a sports writer and editor, witnessing so many memorable moments. I was there when the Reds won their last World Series, when the Bengals played in their last Super Bowl and when Pete Rose hit No. 4,192. I sat

on the bench with Bob Huggins, went fi shing with Deion Sanders, followed Boomer Esiason on the picket line, attended a basketball game with the Griff eys and accompanied Chris Sabo to David Letterman’s old talk show. After decades in journalism, in Detroit, Cincinnati, the Twin Cities, Atlanta and Chicago, I left the business and found a new love. Coaching. Even if I am unique. Apparently, nobody had ever gone from longtime sports journalist to certifi ed professional coach. So maybe it’s no surprise I am the only coach specializing in sports fans. Everyone else in sports has coaches. Head coaches. Assistant coaches. Position coaches. Performance coaches. Mental-skills coaches. Why not you? Fans always lament that nobody listens to fans. Nobody helps them. They

were right. You were right. One client wanted to stop unleashing F-bombs on social media after his NFL team would lose. Another wanted to stop feeling so distressed over her daughter’s basketball performance. Another wanted to fi gure out how to enjoy watching college football with her spouse. And so many people now are trying to fi gure out the best way to approach sports in a COVID-19 world. It is a privilege to help. I look forward to helping you.

Putting high school sports on a pedestal Kathrine Nero Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

This area has an aﬃ nity for high school sports that few places do. And me telling you that is like explaining the proper way to eat a three-way. Not exactly a revelation. But it was a shock when I moved here from SEC country, where college sports are king, to land in a place where “Where’d you go to school?” means, of course, high school. My ﬁ rst job here was covering sports, from the Reds and Bengals to every Olympic sport in every high school hamlet you can think of. I remember driving with a photogra-

pher through a residential area, him swearing that Dayton Green Devil stadium was around there somewhere. No way, I thought. Then the tightest footprint of a high school fi eld I’d ever seen appeared out of nowhere. Run through the back of the end zone and you’d literally hit a wall. I remember the crowd so pumped up for the camera at a Covington Catholic game that the kids broke the railing separating them from the track, three steps below. And the fi rst time I saw a high school football tailgate at St. Xavier. Or bought my fi rst split-the-pot ticket at The Pit. Remarkable. Athletes of any sport are put on pedestals in greater Cincinnati. Thirty years

later, that winning touchdown or key free throw will be recounted in glorious detail. We could debate the merits of such idolatry, but that’s another newsletter. The football season of 2020 has some lessons that may not make highlight reels or end with the hoisting of an award. Several teams are playing games the next few weekends – after being eliminated from the playoﬀ s, or not making them at all. Playing regular season games … just because. These teams will play with no chance of improving their standings. As Scott Springer writes, they’ll play only for the love of the game. Those are the stories worth telling 30 years later.

3 Cincinnati-area Ruby Tuesday locations among list of closings Keely Brown Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

More than 150 Ruby Tuesday restaurants across the country are closing, including three locations in Greater Cincinnati. The Tennessee-based dining chain fi led for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Oct. 7, hoping to use the debt-cutting process to improve its fi nances and stay in business. CEO Shawn Lederman said in a court fi ling the company has permanently

closed 185 restaurants that had shut their doors during the coronavirus pandemic. That leaves the chain with 236 company-owned and operated locations, as well as an undisclosed number of locations run by 10 franchisee groups. "We do not anticipate any additional restaurant closures at this time," Ruby Tuesday Chief Marketing Oﬃ cer Jenifer Boyd Harmon said in an emailed statement to USA TODAY. "We remain committed to providing our guests with safe, quality experiences at all our current lo-

cations." The Greater Cincinnati locations include, according to Business Insider: h Kenwood, 7800 Montgomery Road Space 14, Cincinnati, OH h Kings Mill, 5456 Kings Center Drive, Mason, OH h 315 Rivers Edge Drive Milford, OH Seven other Ruby Tuesday restaurants in Ohio are also expected to close. There are two remaining Ruby Tuesday locations in Ohio, with restaurants located in Sharonville and Troy.

COMMUNITY NEWS Anderson’s octogenarian sign inspector helped reduce visual clutter for almost 30 years An Anderson Township sign inspector who removed more than 27,000 illegal temporary signs and weathered the sign-heavy chaos of about 60 elections in his almost 30-year career has retired. Jim Lewis started with Anderson Township in 1990 on a part-time, temporary basis, to enforce the township’s newly adopted sign regulations that were aimed at helping clean up Beechmont Avenue. He came to Anderson after retiring from his fi rst career as an air traffi c controller. After only about six weeks into retirement, Lewis found his time off boring and golf not catching his attention, so he sought another job. That’s how he ended up investing the next 30 years helping Anderson reduce its visual clutter and regulate its sign ordinances. Now 88, Lewis recently left the job and was honored by township trustees for his long years of service. During the growth of the Planning and Zoning Department, Lewis processed an estimated 2,850 sign applications and mentored 15 co-ops from University of Cincinnati by sharing insights into the job and other life lessons. “He taught them how to interact with residents, businesses and political offi cials,” noted Planning and Zoning Director Paul Drury. “Jim always said he learned from the co-ops too and thoroughly enjoyed working with them.” Trustee Andrew Pappas noted that Lewis “never missed a day, and was always the fi rst with a joke He had a great way of interacting with public, sometimes on very diffi cult matters, and set an example for his co-workers and many future public employees that worked with him.” Anderson Township

Stepping Stones’ 4th annual Sporting Clays Tournament nets $77K Stepping Stones hosted its 4th annual Sporting Clays Tournament on Oct. 9 at the Sycamore Pheasant Club in Loveland. The event netted more than $77,000 to benefi t year-round programming for children, teens and adults with disabilities. Attendees hit the course for a clay shoot featuring 75 targets and a fl urry game. Supporters raised money for the organization by participating in a raffl e with nine excellent prize packages and a silent auction with two premier shooting experiences. Mark Cunningham, Mark Greene, Mark Hill, Lance Lohr and Tony Scalia won the team competition and Herb Schul was the winning individual shooter. “2020 has been a hard year for many, especially those with disabilities,” said co-chairs Peter Borchers and Brian Folke. “We are thankful to the community for coming out and supporting Stepping Stones and the programs that are so needed right now.”

Trees are changing and the amount of wildlife is plentiful

Howdy folks, Years ago Ruth Ann and I would take a drive up to Shawnee State Park in the fall to see the trees coloring up. Now, I go around Bethel on my scooter to see the beauty of the trees changing colors for fall. They are so beautiful. The good Lord sure knows how to change the colors of the leaves. This is Tuesday and the trees are sure changing, and the amount of squirrels and doves along with the dozens of other birds are plentiful. The lady that was here this morning and her husband were very interested with the birds I saw a few years ago at home. I saw a group of the cedar wax wing. They are beautiful and eat cherries and mulberries. I heard that Joe Morgan has passed away. When he was playing for the Reds he made the team. He could steal bases, hit home runs and kept the Cincinnati Reds in sure competition. The Reds need another Joe Morgan to be able to stay in competition. Sparky Anderson was a great manager. This weekend will be the last week of the Halloween camp out at East Fork. The campground is full. The diﬀ erence this year is the public that is not camping are not permitted in the campgrounds. This virus has sure made a lot of changes in a lot of things. I remember when I was the manager at East Fork and Ruth Ann and I would go over to the Halloween camp out. As the kids were going around trick or treating one year, our friends, the Nichols from above Blanchester, came down and could not believe the amount of campers that were in the campground. It was full. The people decorated their campsites and it was wonderful. I remember one time I was visiting with a feller that worked there. He had his camper there so his wife could be close to him.

We were talking and I said, “Did you hear the bobcat that went through here last night?” He went to shaking his head and pointing to his wife. She said “take me home.” I said “the cat is long gone,” so she fi nally said “OK I will stay.” My dad and mother were always working hard. Each morning mom made a breakfast of biscuits, bacon and coff ee for him and herself, and milk for my brother. Every once in a while, mom would make oatmeal for all of us, and boy it was good. Mom was a good cook. Ruth Ann, of course, was the best. My dad, each evening, would listen to the news on the radio to Laurel Thomas and when Mr. Thomas would go to different parts of the world, dad really enjoyed the broadcast. When dad missed his news he was upset. Dad said the barn work will be done before dark. We didn’t have any electric in the barn for several years. Of course, we milked by hand and after milking, mother would go gather the eggs and feed and water the chickens. We had a good life. My dad was well known for his blacksmith work, either shoeing horses or welding broken iron pieces together. He didn’t charge much. Dad liked to tell stories to people and they really enjoyed them. He liked to tell the story about the dog running the calf back to the pin and shutting the gate. I called Cedar Lake and a lady caught a 66-pound blue cat. She said she didn’t know if she was going to land it. It was bigger than her husband. She was excited. Cedar Lake is open each day, except Wednesday, from 7 a.m. till 7 p.m. I talked to Sherry’s Lake and they are closed for the year. I talked to the Boars Head Bait Shop in Afton and the young lady said the crappie are still biting good. The fi shermen are catching some nice channel catfi sh. I am writing this while I am watching the Bengals. The score is Bengals 24 and the other team 7. Start your week by praying and praising the good Lord. God bless all... More later...

Cincinnati makes list of 2020 Top 100 Best Places to Live Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati is one of the best places to live in the country, according to a new ranking from Livability.com. Livability.com has ranked Cincinnati as one of the 2020 Top 100 Best Places to Live. The 2020 rankings were determined by an “Opportunity Score,” which measures economy, job opportunities and growth, offi cials said. Those data points off er a "snapshot of the opportunity landscape," in each city, Livibility.com said. Cincinnati ranked at No. 42. More than 1,000 cities with populations between 20,000 and 1 million were ranked for the offi cial list. "Known for its incredible historical architecture, quirky neighborhoods and accessibility, it's no wonder Cincinnati has landed a spot on Livability’s Top 100 Best Places to Live list the last three years in a row," Livability.com said of the Queen City. “Creating a list of the best places to live in a year marked by uncertainty and disruption was challenging, but also

clarifying,” said Winona Dimeo-Ediger, Livability.com editor-in-chief. “The pandemic and ensuing economic turbulence made people rethink their commitment to big, expensive cities, and the rise of remote work provided a unique opportunity to live anywhere. "The dust is still settling, but the chaos of this year made the things that have always mattered — aﬀ ordability, safety, community and opportunity — matter even more. The small- to midsized cities on Livability’s list oﬀ er exactly what people are looking for right now.”

SCHOOL NEWS New Richmond Schools now 1:1 in preschool A visionary initiative from 2018 to get tablets into the hands of districtpreschool students takes on even greater importance during the pandemic of 2020. Initially, tablets were introduced to New Richmond Exempted Village SchoolDistrict preschool students in early 2019 to provide additional enrichmentopportunities. The purchase was made in partnership with Clermont County Chamber of Commerce’s KLICWOW, a program that provides tablets to preschool-aged children at no cost. The district received 16 tablets from KLICWOW and matched the gift bypurchasing another 16 devices. As a result of the pandemic, however, the tablets have been elevated from anenrichment tool to a tool of productivity. “The remote learning experience from last spring taught us that it’s reallychallenging to provide a remote preschool experience to 3- and 4-year-oldswithout being able to connect with them,” NREVSD Director of Student ServicesJohn Frye said. “And then we discovered that Amazon Fires can host Zoomcalls.” For less than $4,000 the district expanded its offering of tablets to secureenough devices for each preschool student, Mr. Frye said. If NREVSD is required to again move to a remote learning platform, preschool teachers and students are ready to connect. Overall, New Richmond Schools are nearly 1:1 for technology, according toTechnology Director Matthew Prichard said. From preschool through 8th grade NewRichmond is at 1:1. At the high school, the district isn’t quite there but isclose. Since some students use their own computer, however, the end result is a1:1 situation, he said. Chromebooks and tablets are only helpful for learning, however, if studentshave Internet access. This was not the case for about 122 New Richmond families. To help make certain these children could participate in remote learning opportunities, Mr. Prichard successfully applied for a BroadbandOhioConnectivity Grant from Ohio. New Richmond was awarded $45,000. Families who will receive the hotspots will be contacted soon.

Regional National Merit semiﬁ nalists named More than 200 Greater Cincinnati seniors have been named semiﬁ nalists in the 2021 National Merit Scholarship Program. They represent less than one percent of seniors from across the nation and include the highest scoring teens on the 2019 preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.

New Richmond Exempted Village School District reached a milestone with the recent purchase of Amazon Fire Tablets - 1:1 access to technology for preschool students. If schools are again forced to move to remote learning, each district preschool student will have a tablet for use at home in order to connect with their teachers and continue learning. PROVIDED

With 29 semiﬁ nalists, Mason topped the list of schools in the region, followed by Walnut Hills, 24; Sycamore, 22; and St. Xavier, 15. Mason’s semiﬁ nalists were among 892 seniors in the 3,568-pupil high school, Ohio’s largest public high school. “These scholars bring pride to our school and community,’’ said Mason High School Principal Bobby Dodd. “Not only are they some of the nation’s top stu-

Locally, there were 190 semifi nalists from southwest Ohio, 19 from northern Kentucky, and two from southeast Indiana. About 90 percent of the semifi nalists will be named fi nalists in February. That makes them eligible for $2,500 scholarships awarded by National Merit and other scholarships awarded to semifi nalists by colleges, universities, and businesses. Altogether, about 7,600 scholarships worth more than $30 million are expected to be awarded in four increments between April and July 2021.

cording to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment is expected to grow by 29 percent through 2026, compared to a 7 percent growth rate for all occupations. The average starting salary for medical assistants is $32,000, most employers provide benefi ts like health insurance and retirement savings, and many assistants work a fl exible schedule. UC Clermont’s 12-month Medical Assisting Certifi cate program, which is offered jointly with UC Blue Ash, is designed to prepare students for a career as a health professional in a physician’s offi ce, clinic or urgent care setting. Featuring a hybrid online/in-person format, the curriculum provides a rigorous foundation in clinical, patient care and offi ce administration courses.

Medical assistants draw blood, perform some medical tests like electrocardiograms (ECGs), administer medication and assist physicians. Some assistants perform offi ce work like coding, billing and reception. UC Clermont faculty member Lenora Lada has more than 20 years as a medical assistant, having held roles in surgery, emergency departments and physician’s offi ces. She said anyone with a strong work ethic, compassion and an interest in health care can succeed in the fi eld. Graduates of the Medical Assisting Certifi cate program will have the formal education required to apply for the nationally recognized certifi cation examination of the American Association of Medical Assistants.
