‘My tax money went to fi ght me.’
Who is mayor of a town that doesn’t exist? Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
People in Ohio’s Clermont County have fought for the past year over who’ll lead a town that doesn’t exist, a dispute locals acknowledge is a bit “weird” and “awkward.” A judge recently stepped in and decided who gets the honor of ending the village of Amelia: the former mayor and council members at the time the village dissolved on Nov. 25, 2019. That it’s taken a year to decide this and there’s still no defi nitive end date has residents frustrated. They want a change at the state level to better guide people who want to rid themselves of small-town politics. “They’ve milked the residents for a year,” said Amelia Mayor-Elect Renee Gerber at a recent public meeting, venting her frustration at the protracted legal proceedings. She won the election but lost the lawsuit, so she’s not mayor-elect of anything a judge ruled. “I don’t think that’s fair. That’s what irritates me. My tax money went to fi ght me.” A year ago, Amelia’s 5,000 residents, many fed up with a 1% income tax and a village administration they saw as wasteful, voted the town out of existence. The vote wasn’t close, with 68% opting to dissolve the village and let it melt into Pierce and Batavia townships. It made national headlines. Amelia is by far the largest Ohio municipality to have eradicated itself in living memory. But now the residents are still paying taxes to a disbanded government. And legal bills are piling up. The mayor is still collecting a taxpayer-funded salary, even though the village doesn’t exist. The problem? No one seemed to know how to actually dissolve a town that big. Another election passed and still no answer.
“It’s a weird setup,” said Nick Kelly, chairman for the board of trustees for Pierce Township, who, along with Batavia Township, has provided police and government services to Amelia since the village offi cially disbanded a year ago. The former village sits on the border of the two townships. “There hasn’t been a person who clearly will say this person is defi nitively in charge, which is awkward to say the least.” It’s led to at least two lawsuits. One is from former village employees wanting severance pay. The other is between former elected offi cials trying to determine who’s in charge. The courts have struggled with one big question: Who is in charge of a village whose residents voted to dissolve?
Village gone, taxes remain In the meantime, the 5,000 Amelians are still paying taxes to the nonexistent village. That includes the 1% income tax the village implemented in 2018 and sparked the push to dissolve the village. The money is accumulating in a bank account. As of Oct. 30, Amelia had collected $821,000 in income taxes and $141,000 in property taxes. That’s according to a fi nancial statement obtained by The Enquirer from Pierce Township. They’re also paying former Mayor Todd Hart, according to the statements. The mayor still has an annual salary of $43,000, according to an Oct. 30 appropriations status for Amelia. Hart is acting as the village administrator, township offi cials said. Hart, Amelia’s fi scal offi cer Bill Gilpin and Amelia’s law director Kathleen Ryan did not respond to messages seeking comment. The Enquirer has submitted open records requests to Amelia’s fi scal offi cer but has not received a response. See AMELIA, Page 2A

A research fi rm in Cincinnati testing a COVID-19 vaccine has found a high-profi le test subject: Sen. Rob Portman. The Terrace Park Republican announced he enrolled in a clinical trial for a vaccine being developed by pharmaceutical company JanssenJohnson & Johnson. The trial is being run by CTI Clinical Trial and Consulting Services at its research center in Norwood. If the vaccine is proven safe and eff ective, Johnson & JohnPortman son wants to have the fi rst batches available for emergency use in early 2021, according to CTI’s website. Portman’s statement: “While our country continues to address the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis – which continues to get worse with cases skyrocketing across Ohio – I’ve been encouraged by our progress in developing eff ective vaccines. The clinical trials being conducted around the country are critical to verifying the safety and eff ectiveness of these vaccines and making them available as soon as possible After getting briefed on the Janssen-Johnson & Johnson phase 3 trial recently by Cincinnati’s own CTI Clinical Trial and Consulting Services, I decided to step forward and enroll in the trial myself. I look at it as a way I can play a small role in supporting our country’s health care response to this pandemic. The more people Johnson & Johnson has in the trial, the sooner they can have the complete data they need to fi nalize this phase of the trial, and move on to the FDA approval process. Once vaccines are authorized by the FDA and are made widely available, Ohioans and all Americans will be safer. When this happens, people will feel more comfortable returning to the workplace, retail establishments, restaurants, places of worship, and schools, as well as gathering with family and friends. We all want life to return to normal, and nothing is more important to that happening than wide-scale vaccinations. That’s why I believe the work on vaccines is the single most important part of the ongoing COVID-19 response eff ort. I hope that my announcement today will encourage others to feel confi dent in participating in vaccine clinical trials being conducted across this country. I also hope it will reassure people about the safety and eff ectiveness of vaccines once they have gone through the trials and FDA approval process.”

Amelia Continued from Page 1A
Who’s the mayor? The problem is, a new Amelia mayor and two new councilmembers won in the same election voters also decided to end the village. But the new mayor and members of council were never sworn in before the village legally ceased to exist in Nov. 2019. That’s set off a legal battle and debate involving state and local offi cials over

which council and mayor should have the honor of signing the documents that would end the tax and the village. Yes, that’s right. It’s basically a battle to sign documents. As the village legally doesn’t exist, whoever is ultimately put in charge won’t have much power to do anything else other than just sign the papers that will end Amelia’s taxes and disperse its assets. Meanwhile, the legal bills for local governments pile up, $61,000 for Pierce Township alone. Clermont County Court of Common Pleas Judge Anthony Brock in a ruling on Nov. 10 said a new mayor and council members can’t take offi ce for a town that doesn’t exist. So Hart and the council in offi ce as of Nov. 25, 2019 will see Amelia off into the sunset. A meeting has been set for Dec. 15 at 5 p.m. for the village council to meet, according to Amelia councilman Clayton Fite. It’ll be a virtual meeting held online. The state auditor hasn’t provided a clear roadmap to dispose of a village of Amelia’s size, local offi cials said. Indeed, now that the population is over 5,000, the threshold in Ohio law for the largest villages that can dissolve, Amelia couldn’t legally disband if the measure was put forward now.
The state auditor’s offi ce initially directed the townships to put Hart and the village law director and fi nance director in charge, said Thomas Keating, the law director for Pierce Township. Then the state advised that the village council also needs to be involved. Then the auditor backed off and told them the state couldn’t provide legal guidance, Keating said. “Wouldn’t you think, in the history of Ohio, there have been enough dissolutions that the state auditor would have known the answer to that?” Keating said. Offi cials with Auditor Keith Faber’s offi ce did not respond to The Enquirer’s request for comment. In fact, there have been 15 towns that have dissolved in Ohio since 2004. But only one had a population larger than 500. None have had a population anywhere near 5,000. The new mayor and two new councilmembers believed they should be the ones that steer Amelia into oblivion. After all, it was Hart and the previous council that led to the dissatisfaction among residents and Amelia’s ultimate dissolution, said Amelia Mayor-Elect Renee Gerber. Tim Rosser thinks he’s one of the rightful members of Amelia Village
Council. He was elected by the voters in Nov. 2019, the same election voters decided to dissolve the village. Rosser supported the dissolution. That it’s a year out and he’s still paying Amelia taxes has frustrated him. Kathleen Ryan, the law director of Amelia, fi led suit on behalf of the village against Rosser and others asking a judge to determine who Amelia’s mayor and councilmembers are. Ryan, in the suit, argues Gerber and the two councilmembers never were sworn in. Therefore, Hart and the previous council is the council of record. Ryan acknowledges in the lawsuit that Ohio law isn’t clear which village offi ceholders have authority during this transition period. Gerber said she accepts the judge’s decision and won’t appeal. But she hopes Amelia’s experience will have make it easier to dissolve towns in Ohio. Gerber and Pierce Township offi cials have vowed to work with state lawmakers to draft clear steps for village dissolution. “Our fi ght is not over,” Gerber said.

Ex-Bethel-Tate coach facing new sex charges including rape Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A onetime sports coach at BethelTate High School already accused of sexually abusing a girl more than a decade ago has been indicted on new charges involving a male victim. Offi cials say the new alleged off enses happened in the mid-1990s, when 41year-old Chad Willhoff was a teenager. Willhoff and the male victim were neighbors at that time in the village of Bethel, according to a news release from the Clermont County Sheriff ’s Offi ce. A Clermont County grand jury recently indicted Willhoff on one count of rape and
multiple counts of gross sexual imposition. In July, Willhoff was charged with unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, sexual battery and Willhoff gross sexual imposition involving the girl. Those alleged off enses happened between 2002 and 2007, according to court records. Most of the charges surround alleged off enses that happened when the girl was at the high school, where Willhoff coached girls soccer, boys and girls track, and girls basketball. The girl, who is a relative of Willhoff , was 12 when documents say the sexual
abuse began. Willhoff resigned from the school in February 2007. In his resignation letter, Willhoff said it was due to his upcoming transfer to Northern Kentucky University, where he intended to earn a bachelor’s degree in education. “I will need to dedicate a great deal of time to my studies,” he said in the letter. Willhoff , who now lives in Amelia, is free on bonds totaling $225,000 that didn't require him to post money up front, records show. Willhoff ’s attorney, John O’Shea, did not return a message seeking comment when this article was originally published.

Cincinnati Ballet brings back indoor performances David Lyman Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
It’s been a long time. Before Cincinnati Ballet opened "Cincinnati Made" in the Music Hall Ballroom on November 5, I hadn’t seen a live indoor performance since March 8. That was 242 days earlier. In a normal year, I would have seen 100 or more live presentations in that same stretch. What makes Cincinnati Ballet’s achievement so noteworthy is that the company pulled it off so smoothly. It was as if they’ve been staging shows this way for years. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The toughest thing about staging a live indoor show in an age of pandemic is to make a wary audience feel safe. Cincinnati Ballet and their colleagues at Music Hall were prepared. Everywhere you looked, you saw evidence of a rigidly enforced regimen of protocols. First were all the things we’ve become accustomed to; everyone wearing masks, touchless ticketing systems, digital programs and people taking temperatures at the door. But the eff orts went far beyond that. Rather than perform in a traditional theater, where audiences are funneled along narrow aisles and rows, the company seated the audience at large round tables in the massive ballroom, which typically holds 700-1400. But at the ballet performances, attendance was limited to 160, with no more than four people from the same household at each of 40 tables spaced so far apart that you never had a sense of being crowded. There was no intermission and, at the end of the 90 minute show, patrons were asked to stay at their tables until they were called to exit. There was none of the typical crowd-crunching at exit doors as people rushed to leave. The company was every bit as safe onstage. Dancers have been split into "pods" since they came back to rehearsals in August. Members of separate pods never cross paths with one another. Not in rehearsal. Not in company class. Not in the dressing rooms. And they always wear masks – even while performing. Don’t get me wrong. The "Cincinnati Made" performance wasn’t as fully sat-
With six dancers, “The Hot Club of Milford” was the largest work on Cincinnati Ballet’s recent “Cincinnati Made” program. The ballet was choreographed by company artistic director Victoria Morgan and ballet master Cervilio Miguel Amador. Seen here are, in the foreground, Melissa Gelfi n De-Poli and Arcadian Broad and, behind them (from L) Jacqueline Damico Amador, Taylor Carrasco, Maizyalet Velázquez and Joshua Stayton. .PHOTOS PROVIDED/HIROMI PLATT, HIROMI PLATT PHOTOGRAPHY
isfying as a pre-pandemic show. There were no sets. And stage lighting wasn’t as sharp or as varied as you would fi nd in a theater. The generous spacing of the tables and the elongated 40x20-foot stage made for less-than-ideal viewing of the dancers. Personally, I missed seeing dancers’ faces. Dancers are actors as much as they are movement artists, so their faces invest choreography with a dramatic richness that masks completely eliminate. But we can’t have those things right now. If all of us are to remain safe and healthy, those are compromises we have to live with. If that is too much for you, that’s OK. We all have to make our own judgments. Fortunately, there was still plenty of the same top-notch dancing and choreography we’ve come to expect from Cincinnati Ballet. There were works that refl ected the angst of our time, particularly Gabriel Gaff ney Smith’s "Untitled," performed by Christina LaForgia Morse and David Morse and Heather Britt’s "Habitual," with Maizyalet Velázquez and Joshua Stayton. Other works were blessedly playful, like Andrea Schermoly’s "Swivet," danced by Minori Sakita and Michael

Mengden and "Great American Dream," featuring Jacqueline Damico Amador, Melissa Gelfi n De-Poli, Abbey Gonzalez Kay, Taylor Carrasco and choreographer Arcadian Broad.
One of the most poignant and fully realized works was "Ich Bin Bei Dir (I Am With You)," created by Amy Seiwert, a choreographer with Cincinnati roots and former artistic director of the Sacramento Ballet. Her cast included Blair Bagley, Nikita Boris, Daniel Baldwin and Matthew Griffi n. The fi nale was a spirited work called "The Hot Club of Milford," choreographed by artistic director Victoria Morgan and ballet master Cervilio Miguel Amador. The title refers to the sixperson ensemble that accompanied the piece. Since the musicians weren’t part of the company’s pod system, they weren’t permitted in the same room as the dancers (Jacqueline Damico Amador, De-Poli, Velázquez, Broad, Carrasco and Stayton). After being introduced to the audience, they retreated to a nearby room where we saw and heard them via a livestream. Is this an ideal way to experience dance and music? Hardly. But it is an ingenious alternative to sitting at home watching streaming performances online. It keeps dancers dancing, too, and provides those of us in the audience a chance to escape the tedium of isolation, if only for a moment.

VIEWPOINTS Kamala Harris eats ‘No’ for breakfast Vanessa Phelan Guest Columnist
U.S. Rep. Shirley Chisholm of New York, the fi rst Black, female candidate for president, came to "believe that before a woman can become president of this country, a woman has to be a vice president fi rst of all, so that we will get used to the idea of a woman ascending at higher offi ce." As we saw in 2016, women’s favorability plummets when they seek power, making it harder to attain power. By choosing Kamala Harris as his running mate, Joe Biden offered our nation an historic opportunity to ascend a women into higher offi ce. The majority of Americans have seized this tremendous gift, electing Harris as their next vice president. Any longtime pol or campaign staff er will tell you that most campaign volunteers are women. Women power candidates’ campaigns, but are asked to accept that many voters don’t want a woman in the White House. My life as an activist began because I refuse to accept this. I didn’t want to hear another "No, she can’t." I wanted to hear an emphatic "Yes, she can. And she will." As the chair of a neighborhood Democratic group, I am not a prominent politico, but campaigns tend to notice when there is an eff ective worker bee buzzing around the hive. That’s me. I fi rst met Sen. Harris in April 2019, when her presidential campaign invited me to a house party. As Kamala recalled her fi rst run for offi ce, she told us how many people told her that she shouldn’t run for offi ce because it was "not her time." No woman had held that offi ce. No Black or Asian person had either. Harris responded, "But, I eat 'No' for breakfast." She won that offi ce. And the next one. And the next one.

Here was my candidate, this fearless boundary breaker, this daughter of immigrants. She would not only give me an emphatic "Yes, she can," she would use those "Nos" to fuel her way to victory. From then on, I did anything I could for Kamala’s campaign. Having so many conversations about Kamala gave me better insight into what a delicate tight rope that all women of color, particularly Black women, must traverse. That tight rope gets even more perilous for women seeking higher offi ce. Everything I admire about Sen. Harris – her tenacity, her kindness, her experience, her sense of humor, her intelligence and
mental agility – one white voter or another had a problem with. “She seems sure of herself.” “Why does she laugh so much?” “Why was she mean in the debate?” “She didn’t do enough.” Unpacking intersectional bias at a voter’s front door is not easy. But I did my best, knowing that Kamala was somewhere out there eating bigger Nos so the rest of us didn’t have to stomach them. I took to showing photos of Kamala with my kids to voters, explaining that Kamala would spot my kids from across the room and shout, "My young leaders," then rush over to hug them. While they were looking through the pictures, I would talk about Kamala’s accomplishments and priorities, or explain that when she emphatically expressed an opinion, she was not showing anger, but rather how much she cared. "When she says, 'Kamala Harris, for the people,' she means no one should fi ght alone," I’d say. Though her presidential bid was unsuccessful, the campaign truly changed my life for the better. I’m thankful for it. When it ended in December 2019, Kamala came back to Iowa one last time and told my kids, "We’re going to keep fi ghting. We don’t hear 'No' from anyone, unless it’s your parents." She was still eating "No" for breakfast. So would we. Sen. Harris often says, "Our fi ght is born out of what we know can be, unburdened by what has been." We all carry the weight of what has come before, she says, but we must imagine something greater. When Vice President-Elect Harris takes her oath of offi ce, she will lift so much of that burden from our shoulders. We will set that burden down and leave it behind. We will not have to imagine. We will see. Vanessa Phelan is chair of the Northwest Des Moines Democrats. She is a Louisville native, Anderson High School graduate and freelance writer. [1] https://youtu.be/Ia2ngZgo17U

Health care workers sounding alarm about virus, but are we listening? Sarah Bricker Hunt Guest Columnist
That sound you hear swelling up from our regional hospital systems is the chorus of hundreds of health care workers sounding a warning not enough of the public is hearing. By now, it's become clear for anyone paying attention that the "lagging indicators" impacting the public reporting of coronavirus cases are colliding with the reality on the ground. How do I know this? By listening to local health care workers, who are (and have been) raising a fi re-engine red alarm. We've yet to hit the cold and fl u season full force, and already, local hospitals are fi lling up, transferring patients to facilities with open critical care beds, halting non-urgent surgeries, and dealing with signifi cant and growing staffi ng issues. There are neither enough beds nor hospital staff to adequately handle what our region may face this winter. Here in the Cincinnati region, we have easy access to international leaders in fi elds like infectious disease and epidemiology, and medical facilities that attract patients from around the globe. It's more than unfortunate that their valuable insights are being drowned out by political noise and pandemic conspiracy theorists, who have become normalized to the point that serious journalists interview them for front page news stories. In the background, behind all that noise, our health care workers are literally begging the public to take precautions, especially in the absence of any real enforcement from our state government. They're telling us quite plainly what is at risk and what they are personally facing. As a doctor recently posted on Twitter: "Don’t mind taking care of patients for hours on end, but when much of it could have been prevented by people being less selfi sh, it’s a defeating feeling." A Facebook post from a local family care physician reads: "We are exhausted and full of dread for what we see coming, and we feel like no one is listening. We are on the brink." To a point, it's understandable. A mixed public message has harmed the overall public health goal to slow the spread. If restaurants and bars are open, it must not be that bad. If we can still go to work and the gym, people must be exaggerating. Kids wouldn't still be picked up on the bus and sitting in a full classroom all day if there were actually signifi cant risks to staff and students… right? Asking Ohioans and Cincinnatians very politely (and repeatedly) to comply with international health guidelines isn't going to do it. We're very polite here in the Midwest, but the virus isn't going to say "oops" when it bumps into us in the Kroger and then keep on trucking to ruder, more distant lands. The Midwest is hurting right now. We need only look to countries around the world to get a glimpse of what might have been. Currently, the United States holds 5%
A COVID-19 patient is moved from an intensive care unit Thursday, November 5, 2020 at UW Hospital in Madison, Wis. The U.S. is contending with its third, and worst, wave of the virus yet. On Wednesday for the fi rst time, more than 100,000 new COVID-19 cases were reported in a day. MARK HOFFMAN / MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL
of the world's population and has had nearly 30% of the world's COVID-19 deaths. The trajectory is only growing more alarming. Per the CDC, cases per 100,000 have increased by 72% from the average over the previous two weeks, as of mid-November. Sadly, the increase is not correlated with increased testing. Countries that have taken more drastic measures, and whose populations have almost universally adhered to mask mandates have experienced far fewer deaths during this pandemic. We have months worth of data at this point that makes it painfully obvious we could have done a much better job from the start as a nation. Further CDC data indicates that the U.S. has recorded more than 300,000 more deaths in 2020 than an average year. In fact, COVID-19 is now the third leading cause of death in the U.S. It's no wonder the international humanitarian relief organization Doctors without Borders has focused many of its global humanitarian eff orts to multiple U.S. regions since the spring. We need them now more than ever – a grim bit of irony, given the common perception that we direct too many funds to foreign countries in need. Local health offi cials continue to stress the importance of masking and avoiding even small family gatherings, and they have explained that all is not lost, though it could be soon. There's a light in the darkness, provided we can manage to work together and acknowledge what the data, and more immediately, our health care workers, are telling us. We owe at least that to these workers, as well as to our service industry workers, teachers, fi rst responders, and all the other essential workers who have little choice but to mingle with the public, including the signifi cant percentage of that public who continue to refuse precautions. We must keep our eyes open to the data and our ears open to the warnings so many local health care workers fervently wish we'd hear. Sarah Bricker Hunt lives in Anderson Township.

For me, that means saving eggs from my girls/chickens since they’re molting and egg production is not peak. Lots of my favorite Christmas dishes use eggs, including this recipe for creme brûlée. So, maybe you think this restaurant quality dessert is complicated. It’s honestly not hard to make. As usual, follow my detailed instructions, and success is yours!
Next, add cream: pour 1 cup cream slowly into egg/sugar mixture, whisking constantly. Called tempering, this prevents eggs from curdling.
Let creme brûlée cool after baking.
Baking creme brûlée in a Bain Marie/water bath insures gentle, uniform heat around the custards. That’s why you need a baking pan with high sides. Creme brûlée is a unique dessert, silky smooth custard underneath a sweet crackling sugar crust. And each one is single serve, an elegant dessert to have with self distancing still in place.
Adding sugar crust Brûlée must be cold before adding sugar crust.
1 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
Enjoy creme brûlée, an elegant dessert for the holidays.
Brûlée will fi rm up.
Keep adding cream slowly, whisking constantly.
Use kitchen torch to burn sugar to form crust, working quickly to avoid cooking custard below. Serve within 3 hours. No torch? No worries – use broiler Put ramekins on cookie sheet 2-3 inches under broiler. Turn broiler on and broil just until sugar melts and browns (you might get a few black patches) a few minutes only. What kind of ramekins work? Anything ovenproof works. Smaller ramekins take less time than larger ones.
Place ramekins in rimmed baking pan, and pour in custard until 3/4 full.
Start checking smaller ones about 25 minutes in.
Place pan inside oven, pour very hot water half way up ramekins.
Repurpose vanilla bean
Bake until custard is just set (it will still be a bit jiggly in middle) but not brown, about 30-40 minutes, depending on size of ramekins. Remove ramekins, let cool, refrigerate, covered, several hours or up to 3 days.
Bury bean in granulated sugar and use it to flavor beverages and fruit. Can sugar crust be left off? Sure, you’ll still have a lovely dessert, not creme brûlée (which means “burnt cream”).

SPORTS How will Ohio prep winter sports look? Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
The fall sports are winding down with state football championships recently wrapping up in Columbus. In the meantime, winter sports began with bowling and will continue to start in the coming days. After meeting with Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, the Ohio High School Athletic Association announced Nov. 18 that the winter sports season will continue as planned. The girls basketball and ice hockey regular seasons began Nov. 20, boys basketball begins Nov. 25 and swimming/diving begins Nov. 30, with wrestling, Dec. 3, and gymnastics, Dec. 7. Much like the fall season's COVID-19 protocols, there are some changes compared to a year ago. In terms of crowds, the Ohio Department of Health Order continues to allow 300 fans or 15% of a venue's capacity, whichever is less. The other guidelines are familiar to those who participated in the fall such as reporting symptoms and staying home if there are symptoms. Anyone infected must isolate as per Centers for Disease Control guidelines. Just like fall, an athlete who tests positive for COVID-19, whether symptomatic or asymptomatic, must not return to sport activities until a documented medical exam is performed clearing the individual to return to play. The documented medical exam must specifi cally include an assessment of the cardiac/heart risk of high-intensity exercise due to the potential of myocarditis occurring in COVID-19 patients. If the aff ected individual participated in competitive play, the team is responsible for notifying any opponents played between the date of the positive test and two days prior to the onset of symptoms. If the teams, schools, or clubs reside in diff erent counties, the health departments in each county should be notifi ed to help facilitate eff ective contact tracing. The following are winter sport-specifi c requirements and recommendations.
Bowling Contests began Friday, Nov. 13.
The St. Xavier Bombers won the boys Division I state championship in win swimming in Canton last February. TONY TRIBBLE/FOR THE ENQUIRER
Coaches are to wear face coverings at all times, before, during and after matches. In addition, players are required to wear face masks while bowling. Bowling is the only sport with such a requirement. No more than six bowlers can participate or be in the bowling area. No more than one ball per participant is allowed in the bowling area. If a towel is used, it must be returned to the individual's bowling bag. Handshaking, fi st-bumping or high-fi ves are not permitted. Six feet distancing should be practiced and lane changes between competing teams should be kept to a minimum (for example, volleyball stayed on one side of the court this year rather than switching after games to diff erent seats, etc.)
Wrestling The fi rst day of practice was Friday, Nov. 20. Opening matches begin Dec. 3. Coaches must wear face coverings on the bus, entering the facility, during the contest and departing the venue. There should be no pre-nor post-match handshakes be it with a wrestler or coach. The bench should observe 6-feet of social distancing as well as the spectators separated in blocks by family/wrestler. All wrestlers must sanitize their hands before and after warm-ups, at all timeouts, at period breaks and anytime they leave the playing competition or practice mat. When not actively wres-
tling or warming up, wrestlers must wear masks. It is recommended, but not required, that offi cials wear masks while on the mats. The Dec. 19-20 Southwest Ohio Wrestling Coaches Classic has been canceled this year but is expected to return in 2021.
Girls basketball The fi rst games are set for Wednesday, Nov. 25. Fifteen are permitted on the roster submitted the day of a game with 18 chairs available for all staff and 6 feet between those on the bench (In volleyball, chairs were staggered and spread out to achieve this). Coaches are required to wear face coverings before entering a facility, during the game and upon leaving, as well as on the bus with social distancing. Clipboards should be sanitized and not shared (the assistant shouldn't hand the coach the clipboard). As for players, outside of the fi ve on the court, face coverings should be worn and water bottles, drinks should not be shared. Offi cials are NOT to shake hands OR fi st bump with players, coaches or other offi cials.
Boys basketball First games are scheduled for Monday, Nov. 30. The above requirements also apply to the boys. An added recommendation for both is that in the case of
freshman, junior varsity and varsity games, separate travel should be considered with each departing after their team has played. It is recommended for both boys and girls that there be no prenor post-game hand-shaking, fi stbumping or congregating. Offi cials are also recommended in the case of out-of-bounds plays or free throws to stand 6 feet from the player and bounce them the ball.
Ice hockey The fi rst games are slated for Wednesday, Nov. 25. The day-of roster is limited to 20 players. All players must sanitize their hands should their gloves be removed before and after warm-ups and at period breaks. Those on the bench must maintain six feet social distancing and outside of the six players on the ice, all bench personnel should have a face covering. Captains must maintain social distancing when talking or conferring with an offi cial. Plastic shields covering the entire face, unless it is integrated into the face mask/attached on the inside of the mask and clear, are not permissible. According to the CDC, plastic shields are not an eff ective substitute for a cloth mask. Players should not remove mouthguards on the ice. Should they be reSee WINTER, Page 2B
Mariemont boys soccer wins DIII state title Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
COLUMBUS — Luke Brothers’ prep career has included All-Ohio Division III fi rst-team honors as well as being named the Cincinnati Hills League player of the year twice. But Brothers’ storybook tenure with the Warriors would not have been complete without a ring. The senior checked that fi nal box Nov. 14 with an assist and a pair of second-half goals to lead Mariemont to a 4-1 victory over Cardinal Mooney in the Division III state championship game at MAPFRE Stadium. “Ever since last year when we went out 1-0 to Botkins in the regional semifi nal, this was defi nitely a big thing on our minds,” Brothers said. “It’s something I wanted to end my career with. “Our team camaraderie makes this team special. We’re all friends on and off the pitch. We’ve established that baseline of friendship and it’s gone into our teamwork.” It’s Mariemont’s fi rst-ever boys soccer state championship. It’s the eighth time this century that a Greater Cincinnati club has won a DIII state crown af-
ter Madeira went back-to-back in 20022003 and Summit Country Day won fi ve titles in six years from 2012-2017. “I don’t know if words can describe it,” Mariemont head coach Erik Vanags said. “I’ve been coaching for 25 years and you just get a certain feeling with certain teams. There was just a vibe and a feeling with these guys. “My wife asked me before the year, ‘How good are these guys?’ I told her, ‘we can do it.’ I don’t know if words will ever do justice to the way I’m feeling right now.” Vanags had likened his team’s style of play to Nolan Richardson’s “40 Minutes of Hell” approach that helped Arkansas men’s basketball win an NCAA Championship in 1994. As it has all season, Mariemont’s off ense was on the attack for the majority of the game, pressuring a Mooney defense that had not allowed a postseason goal heading into Saturday’s season fi nale. Mariemont out-shot Mooney, 19-11. The Cardinals survived several close calls in the opening period, but Mariemont fi nally found the icebreaker when Brothers found fellow senior Jimmy Sauter for a goal that made it 1-0 with See SOCCER, Page 2B

moved in the bench area, hand sanitizer should then be applied. Cloth masks may be worn while playing but are not required. Teams should prepare to come to a venue in partial or full uniform and leave the same way. Parents are encouraged to disinfect equipment after each practice or game.
Swimming and diving The fi rst meets are set for Dec. 3. Coaches must wear face masks at all times and the CDC does not recommend neck gaiters. When not competing or participating, swimmers/divers must have face masks covering the nose, mouth and chin. Only one person per lane should be permitted at the turning end for lap counting. Timers must assemble at the fi nish of each race, at the edge of the pool within the 6-8 feet confi nes of the lane which they are timing. Relay swimmers should be spaced apart. Teams should be on opposite sides of the pool. The home team should compete in lanes 1-3 and visitors to swim in lanes 4-6. Multiple warm-up sessions should be allowed for swimmers and divers to limit numbers. Hot tubs should not be permitted.
Gymnastics The competition mats are open offi cially Dec. 7. Gymnasts and coaches from visiting teams and judges should arrive at the contest facility dressed in partial or full uniforms or coaching/offi ciating gear and should plan to leave the contest facility in partial or full uniforms or coaching/offi ciating gear (e.g. not dress or change in visiting locker rooms). As with all sports, coaches should be masked entering, during and leaving the competition. Participants should bring and use their own chalk, bucket and/or bag. Gymnasts should refrain from "spitting" in grips. Athlete safety is paramount, and coaches should not be re-

stricted from spotting an athlete if necessary, to protect the athlete from injury. Gloves should be used in such a procedure and be switched out per athlete.
Cheerleaders/band members Cheerleaders and pep band members are considered to be participants in the sports event and consequently subject to the Ohio Department of Health sports order. The OHSAA advises administrators to take caution on where they place cheerleaders. For instance, in basketball, they are often on the baseline near the action. OHSAA urges schools to consider having them as far away as possible and potentially in the bleacher if possible. Cheerleaders and pep band members must wear facial coverings when not performing and must maintain 6-feet social distancing. They do not count toward a venue's allowable number of spectators, so the indoors rule remains 300 fans or 15% of capacity, whichever is lesser.

6:10 left in the fi rst half. “With these guys, you’re gonna fi nd the crack and they’re gonna keep pushing and pushing,” Vanags said of his team’s off ense. Mooney’s best opportunity to fi nd an equalizer came early in the second stanza when midfi elder Brian Philibin was taken down in the Mariemont box, but there was no whistle, which would’ve meant a Cardinal game-tying penalty kick attempt with 34:12 left. Instead, Mariemont returned to attack form and Brothers took control with two goals in a 40-second span. He received a perfect pass from Nick Comer for his fi rst tally that made it 2-0 with 37:34 left in regulation, then worked an open shot on a breakaway and made a deposit into the lower right corner to make it 3-0 Warriors. “He (Brothers) is a joy to work with,” Vanags said. “I’ve learned in 25 years of coaching, as much as we talk and as much as we do, it’s about your players’ team leadership. Luke sets the tone. When he’s working harder than most of the guys, everyone else falls in line and does their job.” Brothers laughed: “I was trying to come off a better shooting performance than the last game when I had 12 shots and they all went over the crossbar.” A little over three minutes later, junior defender Henry Buck tracked down a loose ball off a corner kick and lofted a rainbow shot from the top of the box that just missed the outstretched hand of Mooney goalie Aidan Markey to make it 4-0. Mooney would snap Mariemont’s shutout on a goal by senior midfi elder

Justin Durkin with 2:03 left, but the Warriors were already in celebration mode. Mariemont stormed the fi eld when the clock hit all zeroes. Vanags hugged his assistant coaches, then took a look at the on-fi eld jamboree almost in disbelief. Vanags took over as head coach just one week before the 2011 season. That team fi nished 3-12-2 and Mariemont hasn’t had a losing season since. “It’s funny because Jeff Hinebaugh, my assistant, we both took over together, he looked at me and goes, ‘Far walk from 2011, isn’t it?’” Vanags said. “Yes, it is. It’s one to enjoy for the ages. The reality is, it’s so hard to get here. It’s always everybody’s go, but just savor when you do it.”
VANDALIA, Ohio – Facing an opponent with three players over 6-feet tall didn’t faze the volleyball team at Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy. Most of the Eagles are under 5foot-10, but they had prepared for a run at the OHSAA Division III state championship by playing bigger schools during the season. CHCA came into the state semifi nals with a 20-7 record, but fi ve of the losses were to Girls Greater Cincinnati League Division I powers, and another to Division II power Roger Bacon. CHCA was reasonably competitive in all of those matches, including a fi veset loss to Mercy McAuley and a loss to Division I state fi nalist Mount Notre Dame. The Eagles weren’t intimidated when they faced Huron Nov. 14 at Butler High School, but the opponent’s height and depth advantage were too much for the Eagles. CHCA lost 3-0 (25-20, 25-15, 25-18) to fi nish 20-8. Huron, a four-time state champion located on Lake Erie between Toledo and Cleveland, advances to Sunday night’s state fi nal with a 24-2 record. “We were very excited for tonight’s game,” CHCA head coach Lisa Schaad said. "We had an awesome season. Just to be able to play in this venue with COVID happening is defi nitely beyond what we imagined. We have a great group of seniors who have led this team all year long, and we’re very thankful to be here and play Huron.” Huron had three players over 6-feet, including one at 6-2, and the trio combined for 19 kills against only one error. Huron's balance really took its toll on the Eagles, as fi ve Tigers had between four and nine kills, and the Tigers committed only seven hitting errors for the match. “They were well-balanced all the way around,” Schaad said. “I didn’t think the height advantage was as big for us as it had been in the past. We’re used to it. What threw us off today was the well-balanced swings across the net. It’s hard to have a game plan against certain people because they’re getting you from all angles.” CHCA had one fewer kill than the Tigers (34-35) but 26 hitting errors against Huron’s tough defense and blocking. “(We) played a solid, steady match,” Huron head coach Don Wood said. “We were patient when we had to be patient. We’re playing a really good ball-control team. Our patience to get good swings paid off . Having confi dence in your block to take care of the
net and that your defense is going to do well. That forces teams to do things they’re not comfortable with. That’s a team I wouldn’t expect 26 errors from.” CHCA senior Rylie Wichmann, the newly crowned Division III district player of the year, led CHCA with 16 kills and 17 digs. Senior Katie Gansle had nine kills and two blocks. Senior Katelyn Grimes posted six kills and 14 digs. Sophomore Katharine Clayton had 11 digs. Huron took a big early lead in each set. Huron led 7-1 in set one and 20-12 late. CHCA put on a run to cut the lead to 22-18 on the serve of Grimes, who employs a booming jump serve with topspin. After a Huron timeout, Grimes hit the net on her next serve and Huron held on to win 25-20. Huron’s defense limited Grimes to one ace on the night. “We knew the rotation they might be in so we got a couple of people prepared for that,” Wood said. "That’s a good serve. She serves it pretty hard.” Huron led 10-2 in the second set. CHCA was within three at 12-9 in the third set before making a variety of errors in a clinching 6-2 run by the Tigers. “We just needed to make a few sideout plays earlier on,” Wichmann said. “In a tough match like this, getting down fi ve or six points is really hard to come back from. I’m just really proud of how we kept fi ghting. Even though we lost by a decent amount every set, our energy on the fl oor never dropped, and that says a lot about our character." While Huron may have been too big, the moment wasn’t. Scheduling GGCL schools helped with that. “The mindset was to defi nitely get over the size advantage that some of these northern Ohio teams have over us,” Schaad said. “When COVID happened, it opened up a lot of games for them and they were able to get on our schedule. Those losses didn’t hurt our mindset, they helped us fi gure out how to win against big teams.” In addition to Wichmann, the Eagles lose fi rst-team all-district seniors Gansle and Grimes, plus second-team honoree Erin McDaniel and Sarah Sandstrom. McDaniel posted 12 assists tonight. Wichmann said the tough schedule and the uncertainties of COVID helped them keep things in perspective. “It helped our mindset in defi ning what’s a win and a loss,” Wichmann said. “We are playing for the people in the stands and playing for Jesus and his kingdom. We really had to stay true to that. It would have been really easy to get down when we came close to beating a huge GCL school. We wanted to get the win tonight, but I’m proud of how we glorifi ed God on and off the court."

COMMUNITY NEWS Clermont DD celebrates community, staff at award ceremony The Clermont County Board of Developmental Disabilities (Clermont DD) hosts a community award dinner each year, to recognize providers, volunteers, employers, and those unsung heroes who go beyond their normal life duties to support people with disabilities. Unfortunately, the dinner portion of the event was cancelled due to COVID-19 but not even a pandemic could stop the award ceremony. The Clermont DD Good Fortune Award Ceremony was held Oct. 27. The name was created in 2014 because it is Clermont DD’s “good fortune” to have the chance to work with so many amazing people in the Clermont County community. This was the tenth year the event has been held. Instead of having the customary dinner and Master of Ceremonies at a local banquet hall, the awards were conducted as a walk-through event in the front hall of the Wildey Center in Owensville. Honorees and those attending wore masks and were socially distanced throughout the short time they were inside the facility. As they exited the facility after being recognized, they were treated to homemade, individually- boxed cupcakes baked by Clermont DD volunteer Michaela Vogel. Those winning top awards in each recognized category also took home a vase of fresh fl owers created and donated by Clermont DD staff Brittney Meguire. During his opening speech, Superintendent Dan Ottke talked about how things changed dramatically for the agency with the pandemic, including people working remotely, keeping individuals and families engaged on virtual platforms, and the unfortunate closing of the Adult Services program. “This year is obviously a little bit diff erent, to say the very least,” said Ottke. “Last year, we spent the evening at Norlyn Manor, gathering for dinner, enjoying the fellowship we have so very much missed in the last seven months.” The work done by those who were recognized was unstoppable, even during the COVID-19 crisis. Direct support professionals were honored with a video, describing the work they did in residential settings in order to keep people safe and healthy during the stay-athome orders this spring. Providers were recognized for delivering exemplary services to individuals by caring for their personal needs, connecting individuals to virtual social aspects in the community, and coaching them to learn skills that will help establish their typical daily routine in a new way. Verna Goecke who recently retired from Pine Ridge Pine Village received the agency Provider of the Year Award for her 40+ years of work with individuals in group home and day habilitation settings. Independent provider Kathy Lee received the Direct Support Professional Award for her work with many individuals who live in community settings. Kathy assists those she serves to and from appointments, shopping, and provides more than just direct support. Additional providers who were recognized were Empowering People, Stepping Stones, TriState Premier Healthcare Services Inc., Get SSA Help LLC, Comfort and Care Inc., and Benchmark Human Services. Self Advocate of the Year was awarded to Scott Baker of Union Township. Baker works at Anderson Kroger and is enthusiastic about helping customers there. He is active in his church and speaks up for himself and for the rights of others in positive ways. He was presented the award by Ellen Thompson, 2019 Self Advocate of the Year. Rachel Perlstein of Clermont DD received the Families Connected Advocacy Award. Perlstein is a Behavior Support Coordinator and has become a tireless advocate for children, families, and adults served by the agency. This award was presented by Jean Houston, co-founder of Families Connected of Clermont County. Employer of the Year went to BestNest of Union Township. Ben Krieger and his crew hired an individual from Clermont DD’s Community Employment Department during the pandemic and later allowed individuals to come into their business to complete Community-Based Work Assessments. Additional employers who were recognized were Hutamaki and Fifth Third Bank. Kathy Gibson and her “elves” received the Volunteer of the Year Award for setting up a Santa Shop each year for adults engaged in the community activity program. Gibson spends all year purchasing items at closeout sales in order to off er this “shopping” experience at no cost to 80+ individuals each year. She also provides wrapping services and obtains the help of others to help people choose gifts. Gibson is planning a drive-thru event this year, due to the pandemic. Additional volunteers receiving recognition were Emily Chesnut and her daughter, Nora. Chesnut is a Clermont DD board member, currently serving as Sec-

The Friends of DD Award is given to someone from the community who is an advocate, a supporter, and a friend that makes a diff erence in many ways. Pamela Suldovsky of Clermont County Job and Family Services received this award for her dedicated eff orts to ensure Medicaid claims are processed for people to receive their waivers from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities. Four staff were nominated for Clermont DD’s Triumph Award this year. Those staff that were honored were: Tiff any Regenstein, Beth Martin, Maria Johnston, and Heidi King. Johnston, who is a teacher in the Wildey School Program, was announced as the winner of the award, for her dedicate service to her students and their families. Clermont County Commissioner Ed Humphrey received the Community Leader of the Year Award. Humphrey has contributed his expertise and assistance to Clermont DD for many years. He has worked through several Clermont DD levy campaigns, attended events and fundraisers, and has been a constant advocate for those served by Clermont DD. “It is my ‘good fortune’ to be here tonight and to represent all of those people who have received awards in front of me,” said Humphrey. “I appreciate all their work. DD is an outstanding organization, doing an outstanding job.” To view photos, visit clermontdd.org. The event was livestreamed on Facebook; a copy of this video can be found on social media or on the Clermont DD website. For additional information, contact ldavis@clermontdd.org or (513) 732-4921.

Stepping Stones to power Batavia Township community with $25,000 grant from Duke Energy Foundation Stepping Stones received a $25,000 grant from Duke Energy Foundation to create powerful communities in Batavia Township through an accessible camping experience. The organization is one of 18 Ohio and Northern Kentucky recipients to collectively receive $200,000 in grants from the Duke Energy Foundation. Stepping Stones plans to use the grant funds to build an on-site yurt in addition to an adjacent outdoor gardening space at their Allyn Campus, owned and supported by the Rotary Club of Cincinnati. The goal for the project is to create a nature-based programming space and learning activity for the teen and adult program participants that attend Adult Day Services, Weekend Respites, and Summer Overnight Staycations. Participants will explore activities that are more centered in nature including utilizing the yurt activity space that will bring participants closer to a traditional camping experience and garden. “It’s rewarding to partner with an organization that invests in their communities and shares our commitment to serve others,” said Chris Adams, Executive Director Stepping Stones. “We are grateful for Duke Energy’s partnership and especially encouraged for their support to serve persons with disabilities while incorporating nature and the environment.” “We value our partnership with Stepping Stones, knowing that our contribution will help ensure Camp Allyn will be enjoyed by visitors and camp goers for many years to come, said Amy Spiller, president, Duke Energy Ohio and Kentucky.” The Duke Energy Foundation’s Powerful Communities program makes strategic investments to build powerful communities where our natural resources thrive, students can excel and a talented workforce drives economic prosperity for all. The Foundation annually funds more than $30 million to communities throughout Duke Energy’s seven-state service area. Stepping Stones is a United Way partner agency serving more than 1,100 people with disabilities in day and overnight programs that increase independence and promote inclusion. Founded in 1963, the agency provides educational, recreational and social programs at locations in Batavia, Indian Hill, Norwood and Western Hills.

Mike’s Carwash raises more than $117,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters Over a three-day period, Oct. 22-24, Mike’s Carwash raised more than $117,000 through its 11th annual “Get a Wash, Give a Future” fundraiser. Normally a one-day event, Mike’s decided to extend the promotion to three days because of the threat of poor weather. Throughout the weekend, all 28 Mike’s locations in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky donated half the proceeds from every Ultimate and Works wash sold to youth mentoring programs across seven local chapters of Big Brothers Big Sisters. “It’s diffi cult to put into words how grateful we are to our incredible customers for making this the best Big Brothers Big Sisters fundraiser ever,” said Mike Dahm, President of Mike’s Carwash. “Get a Wash, Give a Future has always been close to our hearts, which is why we added two extra days when we saw rain in the forecast. And our customers responded with a truly special outpouring of love and support for a wonderful organization.” For more than 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been empowering children to succeed through mentorship programs. They are proof that caring role models really do make a diff erence. According to national research, Little Brothers and Sisters are 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs, 27% less likely to begin using alcohol and 52% less likely to skip school. Founded in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1948, Mike’s Carwash is headquartered in Loveland, Ohio. Bethany McAlister, Mike’s Carwash

It’s time to ‘harvest a deer for the freezer for food this winter’ Howdy folks, The price to join the Bethel Historical Museum is $10 per year, $25 for three years or $75 for lifetime. They have so many fi ne items in the building, like a buggy wagon which is like what we used to use to shuck corn in and haul to the shredder. The wagon held 35 bushels of corn and that is the way we could tell how many bushels we got from a fi eld of corn. It generally was pulled by horses either in the fi eld or from the shredder. When I got old enough, it was my job to shovel the corn. Now, I am going to write about something Rick Crawford told about. It is about Owensville and when the Morgan Raiders came to the village. They were stealing horses and leaving their tired horses. The captain and another of his men went into one house and the lady said, “don’t you ask permission to enter” and he said “yes.” “Well you are not welcome here,” so they left. Why she said this was she had her horses in the kitchen. Now, a story about Pleasant Plain. When the train company was building the train tracks through Pleasant Plain, the inspector got off the train and he went to his knees in mud, so he said we will call the town Plumsock. I understand it went by that name for several years. Now Batavia, years ago, had a depot for the train line where the farmers could bring their produce so they could ship it to Cincinnati or other towns. They tell me that at one time, Batavia had a women’s college and that Batavia was bigger than Bethel. That doesn’t seem possible, but it was back in the 1800s.

My father-in-law told me if a person was driving along the train track and the train was coming, the feller would jump out and hold the horses until the train got by. I was over at the Shepherd’s Place and they had several folks that were going to paint Christmas items. I asked how the preacher at the Northside Baptist Church is doing and they told me he fell out of his wheelchair and is in the hospital. He needs our prayers, as well as his wife needs our prayers. I was talking to Mike at the bait shop at Afton and he said the fi shing in East Fork is good for crappie and folks are catching sauger in the 12 to 14 inches range. That is good. One feller caught a musky that was 30 pounds and when they were working on the discharge below the dam, they had two musky that weighed 60 pounds each. They were sent on down the river along with the other fi sh. Mike said the deer youth hunt is Nov. 21 and 22 this year. The gun week is Nov. 30 through Dec. 6. The special gun week is Dec. 19-20. I hope I got this right. Mike said he saw on the computer of a 23 point dear. The deer had 12 points on one side and 11 points on another. It is time to harvest a deer for the freezer for food this winter. I was lucky to get a 12 point buck with a bow and arrow close to home several years ago. I had the head mounted and it hangs in the house. When I was at the park as manager, a feller got an albino deer. He had it mounted, but his wife said he can’t bring it in their house. I asked Deb how the cats are and she said “fi ne.” The electric has shut down here in Bethel with this wind blowing hard, but they will get it back on after a while. Some folks told me when they have a hard wind, the electric will shut off . I had just fi nished writing my article. Start your week by praying and praising the good Lord. God bless all ... More later ...

Caitlin Reid, of Santa Ana, Calif., is the mother of two boys and two girls, ages 4 to 11. Like Margaret Farrar, the first crossword editor of The Times — who was also a busy mother — Caitlin does most of her puzzle work after the rest of the family has gone to bed. That’s when things quiet down. Caitlin is a classically trained pianist who plays at her local church. Her favorite crosswords to make are themeless ones, like today’s, that feature long, fresh, lively vocabulary and lots of humor and playfulness in the clues. This is Caitlin’s ninth crossword for the paper, including a collaboration last Sunday. — W.S.

SCHOOL NEWS CNE collaboration provides secure NEST for learning For too many students, the end of the school day means the end of learning. Clermont Northeastern School District and a local educational advocate want to shatter that paradigm. CNE is collaborating with NEST Community Learning Center to keep the development going after children leave campus. NEST is based in Loveland and has been working with students in that district since its founding in 2016. Founder Evangeline DeVol is a lifelong educator with a strong and clear beliefs about how the system works – or often doesn’t work – in the United States, and has put her vision into action. More specifi cally, she has put her vision on wheels. NEST operates mobile units – repurposed RVS, park-and-ride buses etc … – and takes them into the communities they serve. There, they provide nutrition and tutoring help in a calm, quiet environment. NEST, in fact, stands for Nutrition and Education in a Safe Environment equals Transformation. NEST has approximately 200 volunteers – trained, screened and certifi ed – who work with the students. “We put ourselves on wheels because we needed to take everything we possibly could, take all of the obstacles away from these kids, getting the academic help that they need,” DeVol said. “We believe that every child is precious and that every child has skills and abilities and things that are very unique to themselves, that if you nurture it and encourage it and are in their lives every day almost all year around, then these kids will feel confi dent, they will have all of the materials they will need that will literally change their lives.” Superintendent Michael Brandt approached DeVol about the partnership when he learned that NEST was looking to expand beyond Loveland. NEST received a $109,000 grant from Impact 100, a Sharonville-based group that “empowers women to dramatically improve lives by collectively funding signifi cant grants that make a lasting impact in our community.” Wayne Johnson, CNE’s preschool director, said the district had wanted the collaboration to be in place by now, but the grant process and coronavirus-related factors delayed that. The goal, according to DeVol, was to have vans in the community by Oct. 5, initially at the Zebulon Park Apartments, though the agreement between NEST and CNE provides for two mobile units. “The vans are going to be at locations that have a large number of kids. The vans will move around and park at locations daily with a very visible schedule for everyone to know when and where the vans will be daily,” Johnson said. Expect to see vans at apartment complexes within the school district. The district has provided NEST offi ce space in the professional development/preschool building in Owensville, Johnson said. He serves as the director of the preschool.
NEST has fi ve mobile learning units for its collaborations with Loveland and Clermont Northeastern school districts. PHOTOS PROVIDED/NEST COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTER
Clermont Northeastern is almost fi ve times larger than Loveland in square miles – 78 to 17. NEST staff and volunteers will visit homes in the CNE district, explaining who they are and asking parents if they want to register their children for the program. Teachers can also refer students. “No two children obviously learn the same way, but because of the system we do have here in the United States, we tend to, we don’t have as much fl exibility as we probably really need for a lot of these kids, so all of that being said, NEST Community Learning Center was established to be that academic piece at home for these kids to partner with the schools, so that we could extend the reach of what these kids were doing in school back out to where these kids live,” DeVol said. When students enter a NEST mobile unit, they will receive snacks (two pieces of fruit they can eat there and two they can take home, DeVol said), and volunteers will tutor them and help them with homework. Students can expect to spend about an hour and a half in the van, though not all learning is confi ned inside the vehicle. DeVol gave an example of a ninthgrade biology student who was studying the circulatory system, so tutors gave the student chalk and had them draw a map of the circulatory system on the parking lot, walk it, and then describe each part. DeVol said a consistent presence is important. NEST units may stay as late as 9 p.m.; the program has served as many as 275 students in one day in Loveland. “The kids that we do work with and come every day, we tell them if you do come everyday and you do your homework and you work with me, we will never let you down, and we’re working with a lot of the same kids we’ve been working with since we started, and we’ve followed their career all the way through the end,” DeVol said. The agreement between NEST and CNE is for three years, Johnson said, but DeVol described it as “openended. “We’ll determine when they’re ready to take this
over, if ever. We will always be the mother ship on this,” she said. “It’s an exciting thing. We’re lucky to have it,” Johnson said. Dick Maloney, Clermont Northeastern School District
New Richmond Schools now 1:1 in preschool A visionary initiative from 2018 to get tablets into the hands of district preschool students takes on even greater importance during the pandemic of 2020. Initially, tablets were introduced to New Richmond Exempted Village School District preschool students in early 2019 to provide additional enrichment opportunities. 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 by purchasing another 16 devices. As a result of the pandemic, however, the tablets have been elevated from an enrichment tool to a tool of productivity. “The remote learning experience from last spring taught us that it’s really challenging to provide a remote preschool experience to 3- and 4-year-olds without being able to connect with them,” NREVSD DirecSee SCHOOL , Page 10B

tor of Student Services John Frye said. “And then we discovered that Amazon Fires can host Zoom calls.” For less than $4,000 the district expanded its offering of tablets to secure enough 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. “With the use of the Amazon Fire tablets, the preschool teachers will be able to connect every school day with every child through Zoom class meetings,” according to Mr. Frye. “The Amazon Fire is also equipped with a catalog of academic apps that we use every day with the children in preschool minimizing the paper-pencil requirements if we have to go remote again. “You can’t replace the interaction of children with their teacher and children with other children, and we can provide that through our class meetings using the Amazon Fires.” Overall, New Richmond Schools are nearly 1:1 for technology, according to Technology Director Matthew Prichard said. From preschool through 8th grade New Richmond is at 1:1. At the high school, the district isn’t quite there but is close. Since some students use their own computer, however, the end result is a 1:1 situation, he said. Chromebooks and tablets are only helpful for learning, however, if students have 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 BroadbandOhio Connectivity Grant from Ohio. New Richmond was awarded $45,000. Families who will receive the hotspots will be contacted soon.
