Rabbit Hash’s newest dog mayor Wilbur is ‘all ears’ Sarah Brookbank | Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

Usually, when someone gets elected they’re the one who is seen kissing and holding babies. But in Rabbit Hash, Kentucky, the mayor is the one getting cuddled. Wilbur, a 6-month-old French Bulldog, has recently been “elected” mayor of Rabbit Hash, a small historic district in Boone County. “He’s was just so cute and squishy and adorable and I thought people would get a kick out of him,” said Amy Noland, Wilbur’s mom. The election, which coincides with presidential elections, is a fundraiser for the Rabbit Hash Historical Society, the stewards of the town. Wilbur received 13,143 votes, the highest winning total ever. Overall there were 22,985 votes, the highest to-

tal for a Rabbit Hash election according to the Rabbit Hash Historical Society. Noland, of Burlington, said the secret to their success was overloading social media. It doesn’t hurt that Wilbur is extremely cute. Noland grew up in Eastern Kentucky and visited Rabbit Hash as a child. She said the small river town reminds her of home. While living in North Carolina in 1998, she heard the news that Rabbit Hash had elected its ﬁ rst dog mayor. “That immediately sparked my interest that one day I would want to have a dog as mayor,” Noland said. “I got Wilbur and I just knew he was the one.” See MAYOR, Page 2A

If you’ve recently driven past the 31acre site in Williamstown, Ky. where the Camp Bespoke boutique campground was planned to open in October, you may be wondering whatever happened to that idea. Trees have been felled, the site’s rolling hills have been graded and you can see the hook-ups for water, sewage disposal and electricity. But the ornate tipis and private cabins and cottages made from repurposed shipping containers and designed to provide luxurious accommodations at the site were still nowhere to be seen Dec. 7. Don’t worry, they’re on their way, and local residents will soon be introduced to “glamping,” a neology for a more glamourous form of camping that gives campers access to homelike amenities, such as hot running water and fl ush toilets. That’s according to Nicole Brassington, Camp Bespoke’s co-founder and CEO and one of four health care workers whom she said pooled their life savings to launch the estimated $3.4 million project in which they’ve already invested $700,000. “I know it doesn’t look like there’s anything there now, but that’s all about to change,” Brassington recently told The Enquirer. Eight fully-furnished cabins and cottages were scheduled to be installed at the site by the end of last week, when on-site construction of the tipis began, according to Brassington, a Kentucky native and former nurse who co-founded the project with her friend and co-worker, Misty Smith. Latasha Reid and Dr. Angelina Strickland round out the ownership group, with Reid acting as chief operating offi cer and Dr. Strickland as chief fi nancial offi cer. The campground - just east of the Barnes Road exit off Interstate-75, about 40 miles south of Cincinnati will open New Year’s Day for select guests, including TV and newspaper reporters and social media infl uencers, Brassington said. It will open to the public in March with a total of 36 units, a welcome center and event pavilion, she said. Reservations can be made on the campground’s website. Average nightly rates range from about $210 per night for a small cottage to $390 for a tipi. “We’ve been very blessed and fortunate that our project has garnered a lot of attention already,” said Brassington See GLAMPING, Page 4A

Deadline nears to nominate your Top Workplaces for 2021

Mayor Continued from Page 1A

Past mayors: Goofy, Junior, Lucy Lou and Brynn Over the past 22 years, the “election” has been the biggest fundraiser for the Rabbit Hash Historical Society, the nonprofi t that ensures the preservation and upkeep of the historic town. Wilbur is the fi fth mayor of Rabbit Hash and will serve for four years before having to run for re-election. Wilbur beat out incumbent mayor Brynn, a pit bull who has spent the last four years in offi ce. Other mayors include Lucy Lou, the fi rst female mayor and a visionary who instituted term limits. She served from 2008 until 2016. Goofy was the fi rst mayor, elected in 1998. He died in offi ce, passing at the age of 16. Junior, the second mayor, was elected in 2004.

Wilbur already making ‘people so happy’ A few weeks after the election, Noland and Wilbur were running a “hectic” schedule, making media spots all over the world and posting to social media. She said attention is worth it because it can lead to more fundraising for Rabbit Hash, and Wilbur’s posts send a positive message. “It’s been fun to watch him make people so happy,” said Seth Westfall, Wilbur’s other parent. As for the next four years, Wilbur still has some growing up to do. If it seems like the fame is going to his

head, it’s likely just a growth spurt. As for big plans and events, nothing is on the calendar yet, due to the pandemic. “We’d love to see live music return to Rabbit Hash,” Noland said. “That’s one of the fabulous features of this little town is that we get great musicians that come here and gather. That’s a big part of the town, for sure.” Noland said they would also like to work with local breast cancer foundations and be advocates for mental health. As mayor, Wilbur plans to stick to his favorite campaign slogan. “He’s all ears,” Noland said. “It basically meant he’s going to listen to the people and try and keep the town alive.” Noland hopes to have Wilbur in Rabbit Hash on most weekends. Advice for getting the mayor’s attention? Wilbur loves getting his belly rubbed and ears scratched.

Cincinnati-area employers also frequently complain about problems in getting the best applicants for openings. Being a Top Workplace can help you punch through the clutter. In 2020, Fort Mitchell-based Huﬀ Realty was selected as the top local workplace among companies with more than 500 employees. For the second year in a row, Sycamore Townshipbased BRG Realty Group won the top spot among midsize companies (150 to

Glamping Continued from Page 1A

referring to recent articles in The Enquirer and SouthernLiving, and posts on Facebook and YouTube as well as other media outlets. “We’ve got multiple groups and individuals looking to make reservations.” In fact, 56 prospective campers had already booked reservations for October, but Brassington and her partners were forced to refund more than $76,000 in deposits when they realized they’d have to push back the opening date, she said. “2020 has been some year,” Brassington sighed. “We encountered way more things out of our control than we expected. And nobody could have planned for COVID.” The COVID-19 pandemic made it diffi cult to fi nd contractors to build the shipping container cabins, which are being fabricated at the Camp Bespoke headquarters and warehouse in Louisville, Brassington said. The pandemic also stalled state and local government approval processes for the campsite needed to obtain the necessary licensing and permits. In addition, Brassington said, the cost of building materials skyrocketed just about the time construction began, driving the cost to complete the campsite up more than 50% and forcing the owners to dig deeper for fi nancing with little help from traditional lenders. “We tried to get bank fi nancing, but most of the banks said it looks like a great business model, but it’s all speculative,” Brassington said, noting that the bank offi cials she met with wanted to see past returns for similar businesses to gauge their risk. “We didn’t have the historicals they wanted to see because the project is so new to Kentucky,” she said. While still a budding industry, “glamping” is growing in popularity and is expected to generate $4.8 billion worldwide by 2025, according to Grand View Research, a San Francisco-based market research and consulting fi rm. Brassington and her colleagues are so confi dent in their business model that they self-funded the entire project with credit cards, 401K withdrawals and other private contributions. “That’s just the burden and story of African American women, especially

African American women entrepreneurs,” Brassington said. “Nothing is ever given to us. We have to work for everything we have. We have a heavier burden.’’ Still, Brassington credits local residents and politicians for providing widespread support for her project, which promises to bring jobs and new tax revenue to the area. She singled out Williamstown Mayor Rick Skinner as one of her most ardent supporters. “He gave me carte blanche,” she said, referring to Skinner. “He said if you build something that can help us with the lodging demand we have for the Ark (Encounter), I think we would be able to support it. When I came back with the “glamping” idea, he was all for it.” The nearby Ark Encounter, about a 10-minute drive from the campsite, features a 510-foot-long replica of Noah’s Ark with three decks of museum exhibits, videos, and interactive displays de-

picting the biblical tale of Noah’s Ark. The Ark Encounter was drawing more than 1 million visitors a year before the pandemic struck, and cut traffi c by about 40%, according to Skinner. But there are few hotels in Williamstown, which relies mainly on shortterm Airbnb rentals to accommodate visitors, he said. “The Ark continues to be a big draw, but until we get the hotel and motel infrastructure we need, we’ll continue to rely on Airbnb and other alternatives,” Skinner said. Camp Bespoke “off ers a unique opportunity. We’re excited to see what it’s going to bring to Williamstown.” While Camp Bespoke may help alleviate the demand for tourist lodging in Williamstown, Brassington said she’s confi dent it will be a self-sustaining business supplemented by Ark Encounter visitors but not reliant on them. She said the campground’s fully furnished cabins and tipis with heated and

air-conditioned sitting areas, separate bathrooms, kitchenettes, even TV and WIFI connections, appeal to a broad range of people like herself. “I’m not a camper, so the thought of going to the bathroom in the middle of the night when it’s raining outside, or animals are roaming around just isn’t appealing to me,” Brassington previously told The Enquirer. “What we oﬀ er is still camping, but it’s camping with all the accommodations you might have at a hotel, and maybe a little more.” And while COVID-19 has been the bane of her existence since it began, Brassington said it’s likely to drive reservations going forward. “A lot of people are working remotely because of COVID, but they’re tired of being cooped up in the house,” she said. “They just want to be able to sit in one of the units and look out the window while they work. Our product will allow them to work, enjoy nature and socially distance at the same time.”

BB Riverboats claims planned Cincinnati marina not in best spot on river Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

BB Riverboats says the idea of building a boat dock and marina at Cincinnati Public Landing would prevent riverboat paddle wheelers like the American Queen from docking there. Cincinnati Board of Park Commissioners unanimously agreed at a Nov. 19 meeting to move ahead with the publicprivate concept presented by Queen City Riverboats. The park board's estimated share of the project will be $1.7 million, according to the meeting minutes. The project, talked about since 2015, relies on a $1.5 million from a state grant that fl owed from the federal government. The park board has received a deadline extension earlier this year until June 30, 2023, to fi nish the boat dock or face paying back some of the money. The concept calls for a 30 to 40 boat slip dock, bar and restaurant, restrooms with showers, relocating Queen City's "headboat" from Dayton, Kentucky, and include public dock and fi reboat access, according to the park board. Board of Parks Commissioner Kevin Flynn said nothing has been decided yet. There is no contract, and the city will be putting it out for bid, he said. Flynn said he is reaching out to the riverfront advisory group to verify the public landing is the best site for a city marina. It's interesting that BB Riverboats is raising issues against the project now at the same time they are saying they want

Workplaces

to bid on it, he said. A request for proposals (RFP) is being prepared for the project, and BB Riverboats indicated they wanted to bid on the project, Flynn said. "My speciﬁ c position is that the marina is in the wrong place," said BB Riverboats owner Alan Bernstein. BB Riverboats would of course bid on the marina, but with the idea a marina would best be situated around where there used to be a marina downriver from the Great American Ballpark and not at the public landing, Bernstein said. Since the RFP is not out yet, the interest is there. "I am very hopeful that the RFP is going to go say very speciﬁ cally where the marina would go," he said. Newport-based BB Riverboats, which operates riverboat cruises, announced in a Dec. 29 release that the company is not formally objecting to the plan. BB operates the 1,000-person Belle of Cincinnati, 500-passenger River Queen and 150-passenger Mark Twain, according to the release. The location for the proposed boat dock is not the best choice on the river, according to BB Riverboats' release. A better location would be further west of the planned project from the foot of Main Street to the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, according to the BB Riverboats release. The alternative site discussed is where Smale Riverfront Park is located. The Queen City's future as a river tourist attraction and visitor destination

Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making mortgage payments. More than 1 million seniors have taken advantage of this “retirement secret.”

Tom Gerrein stands in his backyard in Bellevue, Kentucky, in February 2019. Gerrein and his wife moved into their home in the summer of 1969. On Easter morning in 2010, they came home from church to ﬁ nd a landslide they have since learned is affecting 40 properties in Bellevue. THE ENQUIRER/MEG VOGEL

Landslide threatens NKY homes as FEMA project stalls Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

What we reported: In the spring of 2019, The Enquirer reported on several homeowners facing landslides on their private property. In one case, 40 properties in Bellevue were caught up in a landslide threatening yards and homes. Those homeowners had secured a federal grant to help ﬁ x the problem, but the multi-million-dollar project had stalled for years.

‘Angry phone calls from frustrated citizens’ It’s been a decade since Tom Gerrein fi rst noticed the landslide in the backyard of his Bellevue, Kentucky, home. It’s been six years since the Federal Emergency Management Agency said it would help pay for the fi x, after it was determined the landslide was actually endangering 40 homes in Bellevue. So, what’s happened since? Nothing – at least as far as actual shovels hitting the dirt to fi x the problem. Just when it seems the project is fi nally ready to start, there’s another delay with FEMA, Gerrein said. “We just can’t get anywhere,” he said. “I don’t know what else to do.” At least two of the homes in question have slid off their foundations during the delay, Bellevue City Administrator Frank Warnock wrote in a recent email to FEMA. The process is just taking too long, Warnock wrote, pleading with FEMA to make Bellevue a priority.

“I am receiving angry phone calls from frustrated citizens who are concerned about their homes sliding down a hill after being led to believe that relief was on the way,” Warnock wrote. The Bellevue project has already been cut in half. Phase one, projected to cost about $2.3 million, would cover 23 of the 40 homes in question, with FEMA paying for 87% of the project and homeowners picking up the remaining 13%. Now several of the homes are for sale, Warnock said, which could cause additional headaches regarding who is on the hook for the 13%. A FEMA spokesperson told The Enquirer the Bellevue project is still pending in the “Request for Information” phase. But Warnock told The Enquirer the city has promptly responded to every question or request FEMA has had. Still, there have been long lags in communication on the FEMA side, Warnock said, and it doesn’t seem like anyone there is really dedicated to pushing the Bellevue project forward. “My impression is the FEMA system is overwhelmed,” Warnock said. “There’s too few people with too much work to do.” Warnock and Bellevue Mayor Charlie Cleves inherited the landslide project when they took oﬃ ce in 2019. It’s been a top priority for the administration, but the lack of progress is frustrating, Warnock said. Now, it looks like the best case scenario for a work start date is spring 2021. “We are going to get this done,” Warnock said. “We owe it to the neighbors who live up there. But, we are at the mercy of the federal system.”

Florence entrepreneur co-founded TSP Solutions Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Charlie McGregor worked more than 15 years in sales for other people’s companies, but he always believed he would end up at the helm of his own fi rm. McGregor was right. He and business partner Vince Spencer bid goodbye to their bosses and launched TSP Solutions, a minority-ownedand-operated business in Florence, in 2007. McGregor McGregor, who lives in Florence, is president. Spencer, who lives in Union, is vice president of the company. TSP Solutions makes energy-curable coatings and specialty inks, synthetic resin and pine chemicals for print and packaging, automotive and industrial markets. The company is certifi ed by the National Minority Supplier Development Council. “It was always my end game to have my own business,” McGregor said. “I believe that there are so many opportunities to continue to build equity in yourself and have a bigger impact in your community.” McGregor, 49, is from Miami. He earned a bachelor’s degree in business management and a master’s degree in occupational safety and health, both from Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. McGregor has since learned many more things outside the classroom. He got a lot of practical experience working for Greif Inc., a manufacturer of industrial packaging based in Delaware, Ohio, and for Champion Industries, a commercial printing fi rm, a businessform manufacturer and supplier of offi ce supplies based in Huntington, West Virginia. After McGregor began working for

himself at TSP Solutions, he learned that a successful business needs both its revenues and capital from private investments to succeed. McGregor also learned that having a “tremendous partner and team” of ﬁ ve employees goes a long way, too. “I am an African American and it was challenging at times in this space because there are not many African Americans in this industry,” he said. “I was able to connect with the TMSDC (TriState Minority Supplier Development Council) to bring some level of marketing and visibility to our business. We are now working with the MBA (Minority Business Accelerator) to continue to help us grow our business. “We are a company that is learning to thrive in a challenging time for most small businesses in general.”

It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 45% of their total net worth. And with interest rates near all-time lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most out of your built-up equity. But, many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period. According to new statistics from the mortgage industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.19 trillion dollars* of unused home equity. Not only are people living longer than ever before, but there is also greater uncertainty in the ecomony. With home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted when looking for the best longterm outcome.

is not the case. In fact, one key advantage of a HECM is that the proceeds will first be used to pay off any existing liens on the property, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who might be better off with a HECM loan don’t even bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve heard. In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM lender, found that over 98% of their clients are satisfied with their loans. While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners especially in times like these. The cash from a HECM loan can be

All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement. It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required with a government-insured HECM loan; however the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees. Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement. Although today’s HECM loans have been improved to provide even greater financial protection for homeowners, there are still many misconceptions. For example, a lot of people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a HECM loan, which

used for almost any purpose. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills or helping other family members. Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a safety net for financial emergencies. If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more so that you can make the best decision - for your financial future.

*Source: https://reversemortgagedaily.com/2019/12/17/senior-housing-wealth-reaches-record-high-of-7-19-trillion Reverse mortgage loan terms include occupying the home as your primary residence, maintaining the home, paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. Although these costs may be substantial, AAG does not establish an escrow account for these payments. However, a set-aside account can be set up for taxes and insurance, and in some cases may be required. Not all interest on a reverse mortgage is taxdeductible and to the extent that it is, such deduction is not available until the loan is partially or fully repaid. AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. AAG charges interest on the balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance.

Looks like we’re starting out 2021 much as we ended 2020. The pandemic is still why many of us are working, and cooking, at home. The latest news is that we may be entering a super critical stage. So I’m limiting outings even more to keep myself, my family, and others safe. That means few trips to the grocery, so for the next few weeks, I’m sharing more “best of ” and previously shared recipes. Ones for which requests come in on a regular basis. To some of you, the recipes will be familiar – to others, they’ll be brand spanking new. I love that! Where necessary, I’ll tweak the recipes to update and oﬀ er substitute ingre-

dients to make it easier. Interesting, too, how cooking and meal planning have brought more meaning to why we gather. That’s not to say everything’s hunky dory here, or at your home. I don’t need to remind you of myriad daily challenges we all face. Then again, woven into the day are what I call “life savors” – like the smile of little ones when I teach them to rub dry leafy herbs between their palms to release volatile oils. Or a neighbor’s kind words when food is dropped off . So look for those sun spots in your life, too. My hope is that these recipes help you through another day of wondering what to cook. Now here’s a thought: how about cataloging your favorites in a “cooking through the pandemic” cookbook? Let’s start with stuff ed bell pepper soup. Everything you like about stuff ed bells, but easier. .

Pour a little olive oil in pot and brown beef a bit, then add onion, peppers, celery, carrot and garlic. Cook and stir until vegetables smell fragrant, a few minutes, then add everything else but rice and cheddar. Bring to gentle boil and cook until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Lower to simmer, add rice, cover and cook until rice is done. Add salt and pepper. Serve with cheese. Tips: Sub in whole canned tomatoes for diced. Smoosh before adding. Chopped or diced: which is smaller? Chopped vegetables are larger than diced. Tamari vs soy Both are from fermented soybeans. Soy is the liquid pressed from soybeans, wheat, etc. Tamari is often gluten free (check label). It’s liquid extracted from fermented miso paste, resulting in less salty, smoother, thicker condiment

SPORTS Northern Kentucky gets another Mr. Football in Beechwood’s Cam Hergott Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Greater Cincinnati took another Mr. Football award Dec. 27. Just a week after winning the Class 2A state title, Beechwood quarterback Cam Hergott was voted Mr. Football by the Kentucky Football Coaches Association. Hergott led the Tigers as a dualthreat, passing for 2,467 yards and 26 touchdowns with 1,078 yards and 15 touchdowns on the ground. Hergott led Beechwood to a 10-2 record that culminated with a 24-23 overtime win over Lexington Christian in the 2A state championship game. Hergott passed for 154 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for another 97

yards and a touchdown in the title game. Beechwood won in overtime after blocking a PAT. Covington Catholic graduate and now Notre Dame tight end Michael Mayer won the same Mr. Football award last season as well as the AP Mr. Football Award. For the last three years, the KFCA and the AP have awarded competing Mr. Football awards. The AP award has yet to be decided. Mercer County coach David Buchanan was named the Coach of the Year. This was the second-consecutive year a Cincinnati player and a Northern Kentucky player took home a Mr. Football award in Ohio and Kentucky. Roger Bacon’s Corey Kiner took the Ohio award home in 2020.

Five area sports legends – including a brother and sister team -- are the latest inductees into the Buddy LaRosa’s High School Sports Hall of Fame, along with a remarkable Kentucky volleyball coach and two fabled high school sports teams. The induction ceremony will be in summer 2021. Now in its 46th year of recognizing outstanding local high school athletes and coaches, the Buddy LaRosa’s High School Sports Hall of Fame has honored 284 athletes and coaches and eight top teams since its founding in 1975. It is the oldest and one of the only Halls of Fame of its kind in the country. This year’s class includes only the 20th ﬁ rst-ballot inductee in Jordan Hicks and the 10th sibling inductees in Tami and Kyle Ransom, who are also only the second brother-sister combination. Here are the newest LaRosa’s HOF inductees:

Coach Kim Gunning, Notre Dame Academy, 1989-2000 Greater Cincinnati has long been the hotbed of high school volleyball in the Midwest and while Cincinnati has had its share of champions, no one has set the gold standard higher than Notre Dame Academy volleyball coaching legend Kim Gunning. Gunning charted new territory in just 12 years of coaching that likely will remain unmatched in Northern Kentucky for many years to come. As head coach of the Notre Dame Academy volleyball team, Kim drove the Pandas to three Kentucky state championships and four second-place ﬁ nishes in a state where all schools compete in the same class. In three of those losses, the Pandas lost to the No. 1-ranked team in the United States. In her 12-year coaching reign, NDA compiled a 360-75 record (83%). Just as remarkable – her teams were district champions, Regional Champions and Northern Kentucky Athletic Conference Champions all 12 years. She was named Kentucky Post Coach of the Year seven times, The Kentucky Enquirer Coach of the Year eight times, the Kentucky Volleyball Coaches Association Coach of the Year three times

and the National Federation Interscholastic Coaches Association Outstanding Coach for the state of Kentucky in 1993. In 2016, Gunning, then athletic director at Notre Dame Academy for 20 years, received the Brigid DeVires Outstanding Leadership award, from the Kentucky High School Athletic Association which is emblematic of the state’s top administrator. During her tenure at NDA, the school also added four sports programs (lacrosse, bowling, bass fi shing and archery) and added a gym and three outdoor sports facilities (soccer fi eld and track complex, tennis courts and softball fi eld). Currently, Kim is the assistant athletic director at St. Ursula Academy.

1954 Elder football team Of all the great Elder football teams, the 1954 Panthers’ team is the only team in school history to go unbeaten and untied throughout an entire season, but they didn’t win a state championship because there were no state playoﬀ s then. The state champion was decided by the writers who voted in the Associated Press poll, which was skewed toward northern Ohio teams such as Massillon, which was ranked No. 1 at the end

of the season, followed by Alliance, Canton McKinley, Mansfi eld Senior and Cleveland Cathedral Latin. Elder fi nished 10th. Coached by Virgil Scardina, Elder fi nished 10-0, outscored its opponents, 319-65, and set school records for rushing yardage (2,721 yards) and rushing touchdowns (39). The Panthers were led by quarterback 1980 LaRosa’s Hall of Famer Dick Selcer, who went on to play at Notre Dame and later fashioned a coaching career that saw him become the head coach at Xavier University. He later worked as the linebackers coach for four NFL teams, including the Bengals. Elder used the Split-T off ense, which Selcer ran to near perfection. The Panthers weren’t a physically imposing team. After center 2014 LaRosa’s Hall of Famer Danny James, who checked in at 245 pounds, there was no one else over 200. What they lacked in size they made up for in quickness, especially from halfback Paul Kelly, who led the team with 12 touchdowns and 75 points. The Elder defense posted three shutouts, intercepted 14 passes and recovered 17 fumbles. Selcer, James and tackle Dick Royer all received all-state recognition. Selcer and Royer went on to play at Notre Dame, James played at Ohio State and later for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears in the NFL. End Joe Schaff er was a three-year starter at defensive tackle for Tennessee and played briefl y for the Buff alo Bills. Kelly, deemed too small to play college football, played baseball at Ohio State. The late Tom Ballaban, a coaching legend in his own right, once called the 1954 Elder team, “the greatest high school team I’ve ever seen developed in Cincinnati.”

1999-2000 Mason girls basketball team Having been denied the Ohio Division I state title in two of the previous three seasons, the 1999-2000 Mason girls put an emphatic exclamation point on the ending of the careers of senior starters Racquel Ellis, Susan Lippert and Beth Jones.

It didn’t hurt that the Comets featured one of the greatest female basketball players in Greater Cincinnati history in Michelle Munoz, who has just been named winner of her fi rst of two consecutive Ohio Ms. Basketball awards. The Comets had lost the previous year in the state championship game to Pickerington, ending the 1998-99 season with a 26-1 record. As the state tournament unwound, a rematch in the Division I state title loomed and this time Mason, led by Munoz’s 18 points and fi ve rebounds downed Pickerington, 3625. They fi nished 27-0. Munoz, a LaRosa’s MVP and Hall of Famer, went on to win numerous awards including twice named the Ohio Division I Player of the Year, a Parade Magazine High School All-American and Wendy’s and USA TODAY High School All-American and Gatorade’s Ohio Player of the Year.

Terrill Byrd, Colerain, class of 2005 The most feared defensive lineman anchoring the middle of one of the best defenses Ohio football has seen since the start of the football playoff s, Terrill Byrd intimidated foes throughout his career. As a senior, Byrd recorded a staggering 63 team tackles and set a school record for 37 tackles-for-losses. In doing so, he was honored as the National Defensive Player of the Year by PrepNation.com in 2005. Terrill symbolized a defense on a 15-0 Colerain team that in 2004 allowed only 98 points all year, including six shutouts. In 15 games, the Ohio Division I state champions allowed only a strangling 1,921 total yards (742 rushing) and eight rushing touchdowns. Terrill accumulated numerous other accolades during his career including being named fi rst-team All-Ohio, The Cincinnati Enquirer/Channel 9 Player of the Year, fi rst-team all-city by The Cincinnati Enquirer and was named Defensive Player of the Year in the Greater Miami Conference. The Cardinals were 36-3 when Terrill was a starter. He was featured in Sports Illustrated’s Faces in the Crowd and he went on to play in the Big 33 Ohio vs. Pennsylvania All-Star game. His fearsome presence continued in college at the University of Cincinnati where he started four seasons – being named Defensive Newcomer of the Year in the Big East. Terrill was a two-time Big East fi rst-team selection and in 2007 was an Associated Press AllAmerican. He went on to play in the Arena Football League.

No. 1 linebacker in the nation as a senior. An eight-time letterman in football and basketball, the 6-2, 225-pound Hicks was one of the most heavily recruited athletes in the nation. He was only the second player in U.S. history to be named No. 1 linebacker in the nation by both Parade Magazine and the independent Butkus Foundation. He was a consensus All-American by USA TODAY, Parade Magazine, ESPN and MaxPreps.com. Jordan joins an elite group of LaRosa’s Hall of Famers in becoming only the 20th athlete to be inducted on the fi rst ballot. As a senior, he compiled 95 tackles – 67 solo – plus three sacks and two interceptions. The accolades he collected were staggering.

He was picked as the Ohio Division I Co-Player of the Year (defense) and was a twotime fi rst-team All-Ohio pick. Jordan was equally accomplished as a basketball player as he set fi ve school records including: Most games played (87), career steals (170), and he was only the second player in school history to score more than 1,000 points. Jordan went on to play at the University of Texas where injuries plagued his fi nal two seasons. Still, he participated in the 2015 Senior Bowl and was a thirdround pick (84th overall) of Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL. He signed fouryear free agent contract in 2019 with the Arizona Cardinals.

COMMUNITY NEWS Deaconess Associations Foundation awards more than $1 million in local health care grants Deaconess Associations Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Deaconess Associations, Inc., has announced it has awarded $1,069,800 in grants to 12 organizations across Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and the southwest Ohio region. The grants, which focus on primary care and oral health services, will provide services to the underserved neighborhoods and at-risk individuals across the region. “The need in our region is great. Out of the 2.2 million people in Deaconess’ nine county focus area, approximately 39% fall within the federal poverty threshold. Over half are not served by health centers. Approximately 7,000 individuals in this area are homeless – and these are fi gures which are on the rise,” said Tony Woods, Executive Chairman of Deaconess Associations Foundation, citing data from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). “These grants will help support a diverse group of individuals who would otherwise go without much-needed healthcare,” said Woods. “Providing increased access to primary care and oral health services is a critical component of an individual’s overall health and well-being. Supporting these nonprofi ts that are making an impact on improving the health of underserved individuals aligns with the mission of Deaconess: to improve community health by making healthcare more accessible for those in need,” added Woods. “Recognizing that community providers are well qualifi ed to support particular healthcare needs specifi c to the communities they serve, the grants and their programs help at-risk populations meet basic healthcare needs, fi ll voids in treatment, and build alliances among community providers,” said Woods. “The programs also encourage prevention, promote a higher quality of life and educate individuals to make healthier decisions.” Eight area organizations were awarded grants for oral health initiatives. Those recipients include: h The HealthCare Connection – Mt. Healthy Family Practice was awarded $200,000 for its dental clinic in Mt. Healthy for low-income families and individuals h Good Samaritan Free Clinic was awarded $111,000 for its dental clinic for the uninsured h Centerpoint Health was awarded $100,000 for its school-based dental clinic for Norwood City Schools and the underserved in the community h Cincinnati Health Network was awarded $100,000 for the McMicken Integrated Care Clinic to off er dental services to the homeless h CincySmiles Foundation, of Delhi Township, was awarded $85,000 for its mobile dental program for the underserved in rural counties near Greater Cincinnati h Northern Kentucky Health Department was awarded $80,000 for urgent dental care services for uninsured children in Northern Kentucky’s Covington Independent Public Schools h Primary Health Solutions was awarded $50,000 for its mobile dental services for low-income students in Butler County h Meals on Wheels of Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky was awarded $20,000 for oral hygiene kits for 3,500 Meals on Wheels clients CincySmiles Foundation is a team of dental professionals that travel with portable dental equipment to schools, rehabilitation centers, juvenile detention centers and other social service agencies in order to provide much-needed oral care to these groups. The group already serves many areas across Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, but the grants will allow them to extend this reach to four additional counties: Adams, Brown, Clinton and Highland, Ohio, according to Sonya Dreves, President/CEO of the CincySmiles Foundation. “We will use these funds to purchase a vehicle and portable dental and treatment equipment for our Dental Road Crew Program. The Dental Road Crew Program will use this vehicle to travel to partner sites and transport the equipment and supplies they need to treat individuals and families living in underserved areas who lack access to oral health care,” said Dreves. In addition, Deaconess Associations Foundation awarded four other organizations with grants to support primary care service initiatives. Those recipients include: h St. Vincent de Paul Charitable Pharmacy was awarded $125,000 for patients in need of primary care services h Talbert House was awarded $100,000 for its Integrated Health Clinic for the underinsured and uninsured in Brown County h Cincinnati Union Bethel was awarded $62,000 for its Off the Streets program for women who have been traffi cked h The Care Center of Loveland was awarded $36,800 to provide primary care services for the uninsured who are a part of the community near Northstar Church Woods said these grants focus on supporting Butler, Clermont, Hamilton, and Warren County in Ohio; Dearborn County in Indiana; and Boone, Campbell, and Kenton County in Kentucky. “We estimate that nearly 15,000 individuals across these counties will be impacted by these grants and programs in the fi rst year alone,” said Woods. Deaconess Associations Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Deaconess Associations, Inc., invests in community health initiatives that provide healthcare access and education to the underserved. Since 2012, Deaconess Associations Foundation has made nearly $15 million in grants to improve the health of the community.

Amazing ways insects survive the winter During winter, we take measures to protect ourselves from the cold, like wearing extra clothes or staying inside more. Some insects take similar precautions to survive. Wintertime can be business as usual for insects like termites that live inside structures such as rotting logs or other environments that shield them from freezing temperatures. These insects may slow some, but they remain active. Like termites, aquatic insects like the mayﬂ y nymph remain active during the winter if the water does not completely freeze. A layer of ice that ﬂ oats on the top of many Kentucky lakes and streams during the winter provides additional insulation for insects and helps keep water temperatures below the ice above freezing. Leaves that fall into the water provide food for these insects to continue to grow all winter long. For some insects, like the praying mantis, wintertime marks the end of their life cycle, and they die in colder temperatures. When spring approaches, the next generation hatches from eggs

laid in the fall. Other insects like the monarch butterfl y seek out warmer climates. Other migratory insects include some types of butterfl ies, dragonfl ies, and grasshoppers. Other butterfl ies, brown marmorated stink bugs and lady beetles enter diapause, a state that is very similar to hibernation. These insects will fi nd a protected area underground or in a building and slow their bodies down to the point where they do not eat, drink, or

move much. When the temperatures warm, the insects wake again. Centipedes have a substance in their bodies that is like antifreeze in a car. This substance helps protect their bodies from turning to ice, which would be deadly. These creatures can survive low temperatures that might kill others.

A medical massage chair at Sole Purpose Foot Care. PROVIDED

A salt therapy booth at Sole Purpose Foot Care. PROVIDED

Small business surviving and thriving, adds COVID19 friendly self care services In a time when so many small businesses are closing their doors, heads may turn when a business moves to a new location and expands service oﬀ erings. Sole Purpose Foot Care is thrilled to announce their move to a new location of 8140 Dream Street, Suite C in Florence, Kentucky. Not only has Sole Purpose moved but is now oﬀ ering two new services of a Salt Therapy Booth and a Medical Massage Chair. Both services are COVID-19 friendly. Dee Dee Harper, founder and owner of Sole Purpose

Foot Care started the company in 2014. She is the fi rst and only in the Tristate area and the fi rst in the entire state of Kentucky to have a Medical Nail Technician (MNT) certifi cation, an Advanced Nail Technician (ANT) certifi Harper cation and a Podiatry Medical Assistant (PMA) certifi cation from MediNail Learning Center. As a Medical Nail Technician, Dee Dee can perform safe, cosmetic pedicures on people who are healthy or chronically ill suff ering from controlled diabetes, lupus, arthritis, psoriasis, thyroid disease, undergoing or have taken chemotherapy or radiation, and other

health issues. The change in locations was due to a number of factors. The fi rst factor being that the new location on Dream Street was more accessible for her clients with fi rst fl oor access. The second factor was the ability to add additional services not only for her current clients but also for new clients. In early 2020 after much research, Dee Dee invested in a Salt Therapy Booth. Halotherapy is a dry salt therapy that utilizes a halogenerator to grind and crush salt into micronized particles that are dispersed into the SALT Booth via a dry salt aerosol that works to aid respiratory concerns and skin conditions. A salt therapy booth is much diff erent than a salt therapy room. In a booth, there is room for only one person and the salt concentration is higher, therefore a person can receive more benefi t in a shorter amount of time as compared to a room.
