Four victims connected to man accused of being serial rapist Charges date back 20 years for William Blankenship Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A serial rapist suspect who is charged in three attacks in Hamilton County dating back two decades is expected to be charged in Northern Kentucky with raping a fourth female, prosecutors said Monday. After William Brian Blankenship was indicted earlier this month on multiple charges including rape and kidnapping, Hamilton County Assistant Prosecutor Mark Piepmeier said a Northern Kentucky woman contacted him. "She positively identiﬁ es Mr. Blankeship as her rapist back in the year 2000," Piepmeier told Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Terry Nestor at an arraignment. Piepmeier said he expects Campbell County prosecutors to pursue charges against Blankenship in connection with that woman.

Blankenship, a 55-year-old resident of Southgate, Kentucky, also could face charges in Kenton County after prosecutors there connected his name to at least one prior investigation in that county. In Hamilton County, Blankenship is accused of breaking into three homes in

the Mount Washington/Anderson Township area from 1999-2001 and raping two girls and a woman. The ﬁ rst incident occurred on July 25, 1999. Court documents say Blankenship broke into a woman’s apartment and raped her. In August 2001, prosecutors say he took a 10-year-old girl out of a pop-up trailer in her driveway where she was sleeping with friends and raped her. Blankenship also is accused of raping a 14-year-old girl in her bedroom on Oct. 10, 2001, according to court documents. Investigators believe Blankenship has been living in the Greater Cincinnati area ever since the incidents in Mount Washington and Anderson Township, although no other rape cases in those neighborhoods have been connected to him. Blankenship didn't speak during Monday's arraignment. His attorney, Scott Rubenstein, entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. Rubenstein said Blankenship is a lifetime resident of the area and has no criminal record. He has a home in

Investigators went through his trash and took a DNA sample from a bottle, Deters said. That DNA matched evidence from one of the Hamilton County victims, he said. Investigators used a genealogy website to identify Blankenship. "He's a very dangerous person," Deters said. "Our goal is to put him away forever."

Roebling bridge could be closed for most of 2021

The John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge. SAM GREENE/THE ENQUIRER

Restoration work could take nine months Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Repairs to the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge could take up to nine months, closing the bridge oﬀ to motorists for most of 2021, oﬃ cials said. Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 6 chief engineer Bob Yeager spoke to the Covington Business Council and Foundation Thursday, Feb. 20 at a luncheon. Members of the council were told that "more aggressive work" is needed on the limestone portion of the upper towers when work resumes. The project will take a proposed $9 million, according to an update from the Covington Business Council. The bridge closed in April 2019 after softball-sized chunks of rock fell from one of the bridge's towers. Initially, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet spokeswoman Nancy Wood said it would take about two weeks for the cabinet to come up with a temporary repair plan. That plan resulted in netting in-

Due to falling sandstone, the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge closed to traffic last April. The 1,057 foot span opened in 1867. It was the longest suspension bridge in the world until 1883 when the Brooklyn Bridge opened. LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER

stalled on the bridge's north tower to catch falling sandstone. Contractors began removing loose stone from the structure and motorists were detoured to the Clay Wade Bailey or Taylor Southgate bridges in July. Nearly 10 months have passed since the report of falling rocks and a deﬁ nite timeline on the restoration project has yet to be set. At the luncheon, Yeager advised Council members that the project could

start as early as mid summer, although that initial work would not likely close the bridge to motorists or pedestrians. The "more aggressive" repairs may start in February 2021, according to the Cabinet. Those repairs may take up to nine months, until October 2021, to complete. During that time the bridge would close to motorists. Pedestrian traﬃ c could be maintained on at least one side of the bridge, according to the Cabinet.

Bidding for the restoration eff ort is scheduled for June. Yeager told the Covington Business Council that a more defi nitive scope of the project will be determined following the bidding process. The bridge's April closing was an "inconvenience" at best to businesses located near the southern entrance of the bridge. The Council and the City of Covington are advocating for aff ected business, the Council said.

Retired NKY police oﬃ cer accused of approaching juveniles to have sex Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Bennie Hart with his Ohio vanity plate. When he moved to Kentucky the wording was denied but after a legal battle it was granted. FREEDOM FROM RELIGION FOUNDATION

For Independence man, ‘IM GOD’ license plate court battle is over Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Ben Hart fi nally has his vanity license plate. After four years and a legal battle against Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the Independence man now has the plate reading “IM GOD” affi xed to his car. In November, a federal judge in Frankfort gave Hart the OK to get the vanity plate reading “IM GOD.” On Monday, Feb. 17, a judge ordered the cabinet to pay out $150,715.50 in attorneys’ fees and an additional $491.24 for court costs. It’s taken until February for him to get his “IM GOD” vanity plate, but for Hart, the nearly four-year ordeal is fi nally over. Hart told The Enquirer he recently received his license plate. Initially, he said he got the license plate with “IM GOD” but instead of the standard “one nation under God” inscription it said “unbridled spirit.” Hart applied in 2016 for a Kentucky license plate with those words through the state’s Transportation Cabinet, which allows people to pay for special plates “with personal letters or numbers signifi cant to the applicant.” Hart’s request was originally denied, according to court documents, with the explanation that “it does not meet the requirements of KRS § 186.174 and 601 KAR 9:012. Section 5.” That rule imposes a list of guidelines, which include the stipulation that the letters not discriminate against anyone because of their sex, race, color, religion or nationality.

According to court documents, other similar plates have been approved, such as “GODLVS,” “TRYGOD,” “1GOD” and “NOGOD.” In Hart’s case, the court ruled that vanity plates were private speech and therefore protected by the First Amendment. The First Amendment is why Hart sued in the ﬁ rst place. “To me, this is a ﬁ rst amendment issue. You have the bureaucrats in the government taking on their own personal beliefs and they chip away at the personal rights of others,” Hart said. He’s not the only Northern Kentuckian who had issues. Shaun DeWaters, an Iraq War Marine veteran from Florence, also sued Kentucky to get his vanity INFDL license plate back. He had it for 12 years but when he wanted to transfer the plate to a new car, he was denied. Hart said DeWaters was granted his license plate. According to case documents, the case has been dismissed. “I think they saw the writing on the wall,” Hart said. Hart joked that he has “the most famous license plate in the world” but he doesn’t get any weird attention when he goes to the grocery store. In fact, he wishes more people asked about it. When people do talk to him about it, Hart said it gets more positive than negative attention. Mostly, people are appreciative of him standing up for his rights. Going forward, Hart said he’s glad to be done with the suit and believes he did the right thing. The United States is a free country, and people should be able to use their freedoms, Hart said. “If it’s going to stay free, we need to stand up for our rights,” he said.

Crescent Springs’ Buona Vita Pizzeria set to close in March Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A family-owned restaurant in Northern Kentucky is serving its last pizza in March. "It is with sadness and joy that we announce the rumors are true. Buona Vita Pizzeria will be closing the restaurant doors March 9th. My brother Matthew and I are retiring from the daily grind of the restaurant business," the restaurant posted in a Facebook post. The Frommeyer brothers Joe and Matt ﬁ rst opened a restaurant in 2008. "Our restaurant is a testament to our family and our heritage," said Joe about

the pizzeria, Buona Vita, that he started with his brother Matt. (The restaurant's name is a play on the family name, it means "the good life.") There's a Fuscaldese pizza on the Buona Vita menu, along with their mom's Italian cookies," Enquirer's Polly Campbell wrote in 2017. The restaurant says that it will be transitioning to a catering business. "We want to thank you for the support, and the memories over the past twelve years, which to us truly were the good-life," the restaurant said in the Facebook post. Buona Vita will honor any outstanding gift cards. The restaurant oﬃ cially closes on March 9.

Retired Northern Kentucky police offi cer James Bussman off ered two juveniles and a 19-year-old money to have sex with him, according to Pendleton County court records and police offi cials. The 55-year-old Elsmere resident was arrested at his residence Feb. 6 on a Pendleton County warrant. He retired in 2010 as a captain at Fort Mitchell Police Department after more than 22 years on the department, according to a city offi cial. He was an assistant chief at Falmouth Police Department as recently as 2016. Bussman off ered money to have sex with two victims at the Falmouth skate park and another victim on a two-lane country road south of the city, according to court records. He was jailed on two felony charges of fi rst-degree unlawful transaction with a minor under age 18, two misdemeanor charges of loitering for prostitution purposes and a misdemeanor charge of second-degree stalking. He was released Feb. 8 from Campbell County Detention Center, according to jail offi cials. Bussman was released on a $2,000. His attorney, Wilbur H. Zevely of Florence-based Busald Funk Zevely, declined to comment Friday afternoon. According to police: ❚ In mid-November, a man approached a juvenile male in the skate park, said Mark Branham, a Falmouth Police Department offi cer. Bussman asked the boy if he needed work. "He was like, 'I don't know if you'd be into gay sex'," Branham said. The teen said no. The man off ered money, Branham said. Bussman was charged with fi rstdegree unlawful transaction with a minor under 18 and loitering for prostitution purposes, according to court records.

❚ On Dec. 28, a 19year-old male told police a man came to the same skate park asking to have sex, he said. "Bussman told him, he off ered him Bussman $200 and $400 for sex and he told him no too," Branham said of the teen. Bussman was charged with loitering for prostitution purposes, according to court records. ❚ On Jan. 15 or Jan. 16, a juvenile jogging past a cemetery was approached on McKinneysburg Road, a rural road south of Falmouth, he said. "He approached him saying the same stuff , off ering him money for sex," Branham said. The juvenile said no. "He said then well, you’re not safe anymore, or something along those lines, Branham said. "And the boy took off . He got scared." Bussman was charged with second-degree stalking and fi rst-degree unlawful transaction with a minor under 18, according to court records. Bussman is scheduled to be arraigned at 9 a.m. March 3 in Pendleton County District Court. Each fi rst-degree unlawful transaction with a minor charge carries a sentence of between fi ve to 10 years in prison. Second-degree stalking is punishable by up to 12 months in prison. And each loitering for prostitution charge is punishable by a maximum of 90 days in prison. Bussman was already out of jail on a $50,000 bond based on a September 2019 Florence police arrest on a second-degree stalking charge, according to court documents. Bussman's bond conditions included that he stay away from a victim and have no new arrests. A March 6 status hearing has been scheduled in the case out of Florence.

Former NKU prof jailed in Georgia predator sting Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A former Northern Kentucky University department chair was among 14 men arrested in Georgia in an online child predator sting involving local, state and federal oﬃ cials there. Keith Walters, 44, left NKU in June and has served as dean of the College of Science and Mathematics at Valdosta State University in Valdosta, Georgia, since June 2019. He is being held without bond in the Lowndes County, Georgia, Jail. His next court appearance date had not been set.

Walters faces state charges in Lowndes County that include one count of the sexual exploitation of children and three counts of furnishing obscene material electronically to a minor, according to jail records. “Valdosta State University has placed Keith Walters on immediate administrative leave pending the outcome of internal and law enforcement investigations into these very disturbing allegations,” said Jessica Pope, media relations coordinator for the university. “VSU remains committed to assisting law enforcement’s investigation in any way.”

A statement from Northern Kentucky University said Walters is a former chair of the university’s Chemistry and Biochemistry Department who voluntarily left NKU last June after accepting a position with Valdosta State University. “During his tenure, the university did not receive any allegations of inappropriate conduct,” Northern Kentucky University’s statement said. Walters was arrested in an undercover investigation called “Operation Broken Arrow,” coordinated by the Georgia Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Lowndes County Sheriﬀ ’s

Oﬃ ce, according to a press release issued by the GBI this week. “The goal of ‘Operation Broken Arrow’ was to arrest persons who communicate with children online and then travel to meet them for the purpose of having sex,” the release said. The release said the sting also targeted people willing to exploit children by purchasing sex with a minor. The men arrested were charged with computer or electronic pornography and violations of the Child Exploitation Prevention Act of 2007 and/or traﬃ cking of persons for labor or sexual servitude, the release said.

‘We Believe in Dinosaurs’: PBS documentary focuses on Ark Encounter Billy Kobin Louisville Courier Journal and Billy Kobin BKobin@gannett.com USA TODAY NETWORK

What happens when religious ideology clashes with mainstream science in America? A documentary airing on PBS heads to the Ark Encounter in Northern Kentucky to fi nd out. “We Believe in Dinosaurs,” was released in 2019 but recently made its PBS premiere as part of ITVS’s “Independent Lens” series. The documentary was fi lmed over the course of four years and zeroes in on the Ark Encounter, a 510foot replica of Noah’s Ark that’s just off Interstate 75 in Williamstown. Filmmakers Monica Long Ross and Clayton Brown documented the Ark Encounter’s construction from its blueprints through its opening day, capturing the eff orts of creationists, atheists and activists as they battle over topics like evolution and the separation of church and state. “We Believe in Dinosaurs” is the third documentary that Ross and Brown have produced toegether for 137 Films, a Chicago-based documentary production company they founded that focuses on America’s relationship with science. “I think it’s an important world that a lot of people I don’t think realize is there. This deep resistance to the idea of evolution on religious, moral, philosophical grounds, however you want to frame it, is driving this alternate reality.” Brown, a senior lecturer in Northwestern University’s Department of Radio, Television and Film, told The Courier Journal. The Ark Encounter theme park is a lifesize replica of Noah’s Ark, the vessel in the Bible’s Book of Genesis fl ood narrative through which God spares Noah, his family and two of each of the world’s animals from a massive fl ood. The $120 million project opened to the public on July 7, 2016, with the date chosen to correspond with the seventh verse in the seventh chapter of Genesis that describes Noah and his family entering the ark. The theme park was founded by Ken Ham, an Australian creationist who is the CEO of Answers in Genesis, a Christian ministry that operates the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum in

Petersburg, about 45 miles north of the theme park. Creationists reject the teaching of evolution and believe the Earth was created in a few days about 6,000 years ago, based on the Bible’s teachings in Genesis. The Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter show dinosaurs and humans living alongside each other. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, dinosaurs went extinct nearly 65 million years before people appeared on Earth. Before it even opened to the public, the Ark Encounter was subject to controversy after it won more than $18 million in state tax incentives while being built in 2014. State offi cials tried to take the tax break away after learning the park would only hire Christians, but park offi cials sued in federal court and won. Proponents of the separation of church and state and other critics over the years have also warned public schools of visiting the ark on fi eld trips, pointing to Ham’s past comments on how the “the whole purpose of building these attractions was evangelistic.” Ross, also a playwright, and Brown said they fi rst became interested in the Ark Encounter over a decade ago when talking with experts about issues involving the teaching of creationism in schools. Through conversations with scientists and experts from other countries, Ross said they kept hearing that the separation of church of state “is a uniquely American problem.” The ensuing construction of the Ark Encounter gave the fi lmmakers the perfect place to focus on “America’s strange relationship with science” and the “conservative and liberal split in science,” Brown said. Their documentary includes a subject stating how when they were younger, “science was just science, something that everybody believed and trusted,” Brown noted. With the Ark Encounter, Brown said they noticed an intriguing story presented itself with a “religious organization creating their own alternative science in a legitimate looking museum.” But Brown and Ross emphasized that

"We Believe in Dinosaurs" is a documentary that aired this month on PBS and focuses on the Ark Encounter theme park in Williamsburg, Kentucky, as part of the broader battle between evolutionism and creationism.PBS

The life-sized replica of Noah's Ark in Williamstown, Ky. PROVIDED

their ﬁ lm is not intended to ridicule anyone but rather allow viewers to hear from all sides of the evolution debate. Among the characters featured in the documentary is an artisan who leads a team of designers and artists that create lifelike animals for the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter, a geologist who blows the whistle on the theme park’s discriminatory hiring practices and an atheist activist who leads a protest outside of the Ark Encounter on its opening day. “It’s a rich story. We never wanted to make fun of anyone,” Ross said. “It has the politics...the people for and against it and working hard in both areas. We certainly kept (the documentary) in Kentucky. It echoes the political divides we have as well.” Brown added that the documentary focuses on issues of science and religion that extend outside of Kentucky across the whole country. “It is kind of a micro and a macro sto-

ry that happens at the same time,” Brown said of “We Believe in Dinosaurs.” Though they focused on highlighting both proponents and critics surrounding the Ark Encounter, Ross and Brown said they still hope their documentary drives home the importance of science. The documentary closes on a clip of former U.S. energy secretary and presidential candidate Rick Perry telling a child that public schools in Texas teach both creationism and evolution, “because I think you’re smart enough to ﬁ gure out what’s right.” Brown said he thinks Perry’s comment is “sounding more and more reasonable to people,” which has broader implications for American society and culture. “When you reduce science to a choice that seems to feel right to you, then that’s not science,” Brown said. “Essentially, you erased science from existence. ...Science doesn’t care about belief systems. It just leads you.”

Andy Furman joins the Enquirer Board of Contributors Andy Furman Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor's note: The Enquirer Board of Contributors is a group of local citizens of diﬀ erent backgrounds and political philosophies selected by The Enquirer to write an op-ed once a month on a topic of their choosing. I won the lottery! Well, not really – but I feel as if I did. You know the feeling – giddy, gushing with joy and ready to tell anyone and everyone the news. That’s how I feel today because I’ve been appointed to the Enquirer’s Board of Contributors. Little known fact: I’m a newspaper junkie. As a kid growing up in Brooklyn, we had seven dailies – all delivered to our home. The Herald Tribune, New York Times, Daily News, Daily Mirror, New York Post, Brooklyn Eagle and Journal American. Yikes – where have they gone? What has happened to my beloved daily newspaper? Work for the New York Post – the best sports section in the country – that’s all I ever wanted to do. And I did. I think it was like a submis-

sion hold in wrestling. They tapped out. I wrote a letter-a-day to then Sports Editor Ike Gellis – and during my junior year in college he broke and called – I answered. Furman And worked as a clerk from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. – ﬁ ve days a week. Wow – that sports department was like the New York Yankees "Murder’s Row." Larry Merchant and Dr. Z. – Paul Zimmerman – were the columnists. Maury Allen covered the Yankees and after the All-Star break switched to the Mets. Steve Serby, who covers the NFL today was on the high school beat. No computers back then – in fact, my job was to tape stories, then type and transcribe them. No problem – a true labor of love. I moved to the Brooklyn Graphic – a weekly – then to the Daily Eagle – and created a Scholastic Roundup notes column. It proved to be a hit in the borough that housed some 24 high schools. I’d mention alums and where they may have continued their sporting careers – and, of course send the clips cross-country after they appeared in

print. A kid by the name of Arthur (Stretch) Graham played for Brooklyn’s Lafayette High and continued at Oral Roberts University. I wrote about him and, of course, sent the story to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Athletic Director Bob Brooks was impressed. He ﬂ ew me to Tulsa, and I left newspapers to become the sports information man for the late Rev. Roberts’ school. Yes, I still love newspapers. I wake up to four dailies in my driveway – besides

Covington Catholic students sue over tweets related to Lincoln Memorial incident Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

A group of Covington Catholic High School students are suing CNN, NBC, the Washington Post, nine media personalities and a New York doctor regarding commentary about the incident at the Lincoln Memorial last year. The group of 12 students recently fi led four separate federal lawsuits and one suit in Kenton County Circuit Court. The federal lawsuits against the media outlets state that the students were defamed, had their privacy invaded and that false coverage led to death threats and personal attacks. Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann has separately sued the Washington Post, NBC and CNN in the wake of the viral video fi lmed on Jan. 18, 2019. Sandmann was 16, and also a student at Covington Catholic High School. He and his classmates were in Washington D.C. for the March for Life. In the video, he was wearing a red Make America Great Again hat and stood face to face with Nathan Phillips, a Native American activist. Sandmann did not shout or say anything to Phillips. On video, he does not appear to engage verbally in any way. However, the images of shouting students surrounding Sandmann and Phillips and the interaction between Native Americans and students cast the whole situation in a political light. The incident received nationwide coverage and created a fi restorm on Twitter. As more footage was released, it was revealed that Phillips had approached the teens, not the other way around. Sandmann is not a party in the lawsuits fi led.

The 'wanted poster' Unique among the cases is the lawsuit against Sujana Chandrasekhar, whose Twitter account now appears to have been deleted. Chandrasekhar is a New York ear, nose and throat doctor. The lawsuit claims she posted what the lawyers dubbed a "wanted poster," an image showing the faces of dozens of Covington Catholic students. Beside the faces is the Covington Catholic High School logo and the words: "Do you know them? The world would like to know too." Chandrasekhar's alleged tweet, accompanying the image, reads: "These are scary faces, indeed. #CovingtonShame." "Chandrasekhar repeatedly engaged in such a doxing campaign against the Plaintiﬀ s," the lawsuit states. The lawsuit does not claim that the doctor created the image, but publicized, promoted and popularized it.

Tweets from media personalities The lawsuit fi led Tuesday in Kenton County Circuit Court states the students were subjected to "public denunciations, calls for public harassment and public demands of school expulsion." The media personalities named in the new lawsuit are Jeff rey Shaun King, Kevin Kruse, Reza Aslan, Maggie Haberman, Ana Navarro, Matthew John Dowd, Clara Jeff ery, Adam Edelen and Jodi Jacobson. Most of the lawsuit focuses on tweets posted by the defendants: ❚ King, a Brooklyn-based activist, allegedly said the teens "surrounded and mocked a beloved Native American elder." ❚ According to the lawsuit, Kruse, an author, tweeted that the students mocked Phillips, taunted women and "shouted 'it's not rape if you enjoy it.'" ❚ Azlan, a former CNN commentator, posted a photo of Sandmann and Phillips on Twitter asking if anyone had ever seen a more "punchable" face, according to the suit. ❚ Haberman, a White House correspondent for the New York Times and an analyst for CNN, allegedly tweeted: "Will be interesting to see if anyone is actually expelled, as offi cials suggest is possible." ❚ Navarro, a commentator on CNN, Telemundo and The View, posted a tweet describing the video as showing a "Native-American elder taunted by racist MAGA-hat wearing teens," according to the suit. ❚ Dowd, an ABC News political analyst, allegedly tweeted: "Let us not let these kids, their parents and their school off the hook." ❚ Jeff ery, editor-in-chief of Mother Jones, tweeted that videos showed "Covington Catholic kids: making cavemen gestures at BHI; tomahawk chanting at Natives; taunting random women," the complaint states. ❚ The suit states, Edelen, a former Kentucky poli-

tician, retweeted an article "with false factual statements (sic)" about the students and called their behavior "outrageous and abhorrent." ❚ Jacobson, the former editor-in-chief for Rewire.News, is alleged to have written an article containing false statements about the students titled, "WhiteWashing White Supremacy: Media Rushes to Excuse Covington Catholic Students." The civil lawsuit states the students were defamed, harassed, threatened and had their privacy invaded among other charges. The complaint says the defendants "knowingly" encouraged the unlawful conduct of other people against the students. The students' lawyers also argue that the public ridicule the students faced was foreseeable – the defendants knew it would happen. The students are being represented by Piston Seifried & Schloemer Attorneys at Law. “Our clients ﬁ led these actions to protect and safeguard their legal and Constitutional rights and those of other children who may be maligned, attacked and damaged,” a statement from the law ﬁ rm said. “Such harmful conduct, which springs from a seemingly deep seated contempt for our clients’ race, religious beliefs, and political ideology, cannot go unchallenged.” The students are seeking compensatory and punitive damages. The case has been assigned to Judge Gregory Bartlett.

Warm your winter night with high roasted Middle Eastern-style chicken with veggies and couscous Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

I was hoping to share a recipe I’ve been wanting to try for New England maple mustard roasted chicken. That isn’t happening. It’s not because I don’t have chicken and mustard. It’s the maple syrup not anywhere to be found on my little patch of heaven. I was hoping for enough sap from our maple tree to boil into homemade syrup. We tapped it weeks ago. (Check out my site to see granddaughter Ellery helping tap the tree). Well, the tree still hasn’t produced much sap, so even though it’s maple syrup season, I’m way behind. I decided to roast the chicken Middle Eastern style, with high heat for a crispy crust. That’s a long way from New England! But you know what? Served with a side of couscous, we agreed it was a perfect winter supper. Stay tuned for a maple syrup update!

High roasted Middle Eastern style chicken. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

High roasted chicken with green beans, tomatoes and olives The beans are blanched and added during last few minutes of roasting, so they retain color and flavor. Go to taste on marinade ingredients.

quarters

Roast 40 minutes.

1 pound fresh green beans, blanched

Meanwhile, blanch beans. You’ll add those with rest of tomatoes after chicken cooks.

Instructions

Ingredients

Marinate several hours or overnight in refrigerator.

Bring pot of salted water to boil, add beans and cook 2 minutes. They’ll turn bright green and be crisp tender. Drain, rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Can be done ahead but bring to room temperature. (You can use frozen beans. Thaw, then bring to room temperature).

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Add rest of tomatoes and beans

Remove chicken from marinade. Save marinade as you’ll use this to cook chicken.

After 40 or so minutes, add beans and remaining tomatoes. Nestle into pan juices so they pick up flavor. Cook few more minutes until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Whisk lemon juice, 3 tablespoons honey, oregano, thyme, garlic, oil, salt and pepper together. Place chicken in baggie. Pour marinade over. Seal, pressing out air.

About 3 pounds favorite chicken pieces, bone in, skin on (I used thighs) ⁄ 2 cup fresh lemon juice

6 tablespoons honey, divided 1 1⁄ 4 teaspoons dried oregano ⁄ 2 teaspoon dried thyme

1 very generous tablespoon garlic, minced

Arrange chicken in sprayed casserole, skin side up.

⁄ 3 cup olive oil

Place half of tomatoes around chicken. Sprinkle olives all over.

Salt and freshly ground pepper 4 nice sized tomatoes, cut into quarters or a container grape tomatoes. Divide tomatoes in half. 1 generous cup Greek or Mediterranan olives, cut into

Pour marinade over all. Drizzle remaining 3 tablespoons honey on top of chicken and tomatoes.

Couscous cooking tips: I always use a flavorful broth instead of water. And I add a nob of butter or a swirl of olive oil after it’s cooked, which only takes 5 minutes for quick cooking couscous.

Sports Dixie Heights girls ﬁ nish 4th in state swimming championship James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

LEXINGTON, Ky. – They will be on opposing teams beginning next year, when they start swimming in one of the top college conferences in the land. Kenady Beil and Selina Reil plan to always be teammates, even when they’re no longer wearing Dixie Heights swimming gear. The pair of Colonels seniors with very similar but distinct names closed out their high school careers in successful fashion at the KHSAA state championships conducted at the University of Kentucky natatorium. They left with four state medals and a fourth-place team trophy. “I was excited our whole team was here,” Beil said. “We battled through this whole season. We had fun tonight, even if it wasn’t the swims we wanted. We had a really good day. We’ve just been a team this whole season and I really hate to leave it.” Beil and Reil are both headed to swim

Highlands High School sets records in historic state meet James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Emotion and determination sent the Highlands High School swimming team to rarely seen heights Saturday night. The Bluebirds had a strong performance at the KHSAA state swimming meet at the University of Kentucky’s Lancaster Aquatic Center. Highlands won the night against teams not named St. Xavier. The Louisville power Tigers won their 32nd straight team championship and had the bulk of the individual champions. But the Bluebirds fi nished second in the team standings to the Tigers, and adding in the points the girls team scored on Friday, Highlands won the combined state championship. The Bluebirds edged Louisville Eastern by three points to win their fi rst combined title since 1995. Senior Caroline Sand posted all 12 Highlands points on Friday. “I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy at a swim meet before,” Highlands junior Jack Banks said. “Winning a title for my school is diff erent than anything else. Where I go to school seems like I’m representing something bigger than myself. Club swimming is more individual.” Highlands fi nished second to St. X in the fi nal event of the meet, the 400yards freestyle relay. The Bluebirds set a school record in that event, pushing them past Eastern for one title and clinching second place in the boys division. Swimmers were Banks, Mac Russell, Will Griffi th and Sam Jones. “Our team is super tight,” Russell said. “It’s like a second family. We all want the best for each other. Seeing one person break a school record is great for

everyone. I love this team with all my heart.” The Bluebirds won two individual titles: Russell claimed the 50 freestyle and junior Jack Banks the 100 breaststroke. They are the fi rst individual Jack Banks swimming champions from the boys team since 2011. Russell’s championship, in the fourth event of the night, brought a fl ood of emotion from him as he yelled and cheered for several seconds while still in the pool. “It feels amazing,” Russell said. “It’s a dream come true. I worked hard and really sacrifi ced a lot to get to where I am right now. I was overjoyed. I thought it was a dream. I could imagine it but it was hard to believe that it actually happened.” Said Johnson: “Mac, last year he was fourth in the 50. He had all seniors in front of him and he’s been fi red up all year. He wanted to get under 21 (seconds) and break a school record, which he did. He’s very self-motivated.” Banks was the third seed in the breaststroke after admittedly pacing himself in the preliminary round, but he turned it on when it counted. Banks defeated the top two fi nishers in last year’s breaststroke championship to take the event in 55.65 seconds, breaking his own school record and earning an AllAmerican time. “I just had people to race,” he said. “I saw an opportunity in the last 25 (yards) and I just went for it. I wanted it so bad and I put it all out there for it.” Russell fi nished second in the 100

Football players Alex DeLong and Michael Mayer honored at That's My Boy awards Mark D. Motz Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

MASON – A pair of Tri-State prep football stars capped their high school careers with a big award. Alex Delong of Badin High School won the That’s Our Boy Award, while Covington Catholic High School’s Michael Mayer won the That’s My Boy Award. Both picked up their most recent honors during the Greater Cincinnati Chapter of the National Football Foundation’s 53rd-annual awards banquet Feb. 20 at the Manor House, an event emceed by Cincinnati Enquirer prep sports reporter Shelby Dermer. The Southwest Ohio Football Coaches Association, represented by Winton Woods High School head coach Andre Parker,presented DeLong with his award. Dixie High School head coach David Brossart presented Mayer with his on behalf of the Northern Kentucky Football Coaches Association.

stroke. “Both our senior girls had the goal of winning state this year, and this is a big learning experience for them,” said Dixie head coach Chris Schoettker. “They can have their best swims but that doesn’t mean they’re going to win. They put themselves into position to win the race, and that’s the most important thing. They may not have won, but they still had a great accomplishment, fi nishing fourth in the state.” For the second straight year, the Colonels took home a team trophy with just four Colonels scoring points. Besides future Gator Beil and future Crimson Tide Reil, sophomore Mackenzie Tucker returned to the state stage and scored a pair of ninth-place fi nishes in solo events. That trio and seventhgrader Dahlia Kissel combined to place top-fi ve in two relays. Dixie also had four other qualifi ers compete in the tournament. “Even though our team is really small, we’re powerful,” Reil said “It’s fun to see all of us go out there and kill it, and knowing that even though we’re small we can go out there and scare people. It’s great to know we tried our hardest.” Team leaders Beil and Reil will be in the same pool at times next year competing against each other. “Training in practice, we always compete against each other, but at the end of the day, we’re best friends,” Beil said. “We’ll be going against each other, but when we step out of the water we’ll be teammates even though we’re not on the same team. It will be a diff erent environment and I’m excited to see what she does. Said Schoettker: “They are two of the best swimmers in the history of Dixie.

Mayer, who will continue his football career at the University of Notre Dame,shared a similar sentiment. “The cool thing is we all come from diﬀ erent backgrounds,” he said. “Some of the guys come from schools with 200 kids, some with 1,500 kids. But we all have a common goal, to be the best we can.” Dermer introduced Lifetime Achievement Award winner Vince Suriano, head coach at Anderson High School from 1987 to 2006.

COMMUNITY NEWS Jamming for Hope makes fi rst donation to St. Elizabeth Cancer Center The added expenses that accompany a cancer diagnosis can put tremendous strain on many patients’ budgets. The med student musicians with Jamming for Hope are doing their best to alleviate that pressure so cancer patients can concentrate on what’s important — getting well. The local non-profi t recently made what it hopes is the fi rst of many contributions to the Cancer Center currently under construction on the Edgewood campus of St. Elizabeth Healthcare. Jamming for Hope is a charity comprised primarily of medical students that raises money through music, according to Chris Harwood, who started the charity with the help of his father. The band that makes up Jamming for Hope plays in local venues and collects donations to benefi t cancer patients. To date, the group has collected more than $2,000. The money donated to St. Elizabeth will help provide support through the Holbrook Minning Legacy Fund. The Holbrook Minning Legacy Fund off ers critical support to cancer patients while undergoing treatment. “It feels really good when we draw up that check. It makes me feel more engaged in my community,” said Harwood, who plans to hold one event per month and make, “small, frequent donations” to the Cancer Center. “That kind of support is huge,” said Diane Neltner, Clinical Social Worker at St. Elizabeth. Neltner works with cancer patients who have limited resources. “If we didn’t have the support from the community and the St. Elizabeth Foundation there are so many people who would fall through the cracks,” she said. Neltner uses the money from groups

like Jamming for Hope “to help cover the basic needs that have to be met to allow them to focus on their treatments.” All types of community involvement are vital to the success of the new Cancer Center, according to Dan Flora, MD, Medical Oncologist at St. Elizabeth. “We’ve all been touched by cancer,” said Dr. Flora. “The more we raise the more we can help with the day-to-day needs of cancer patients. This money helps provide needed ancillary support. If we can take that stress oﬀ our patients it will help them get through their treatments easier.” Providing “whole person care” is one of the cornerstones the new Cancer Center is based upon, according to Dr. Flora. The 250,000 square-foot facility is scheduled to open in fall 2020 and will become a beacon of hope for those in Greater Cincinnati suﬀ ering from cancer.

Services at the Cancer Center will include: ❚ New precision medicine program ❚ Increased education, screening and prevention services ❚ Extensive clinical research ❚ Multidisciplinary care and expertise in one location ❚ The most advanced diagnosis and treatment options available in the region ❚ Genetic screening “We’ve centered the care around the patient,” said Dr. Flora. “Everything we’ve done, every decision we’ve made, we’ve done with the patient in mind.” Contributions from the community are an integral component of that vision.

Drees Pavilion completes updates, reopens for events COVINGTON, KY – Drees Pavilion, located in Devou Park overlooking the cities of Covington and Cincinnati, has completed an interior redesign to one of Northern Kentucky’s most popular wedding and event venues. Drees Pavilion, built and donated to Devou Park in 2003 by The Drees Company, is a 10,000+ square foot event space overlooking both Cincinnati and Covington. The center has hosted thousands of weddings, reunions, corporate functions and family photo shoots over the years. “We are honored by our place in the memories of so many people and want to continue that tradition,” said Scott Mescher, Executive Director of Devou Properties. “We recognized that we needed an update to keep up with our guests evolving tastes.” Devou Properties, which manages Drees Pavilion, partnered with Jill Neverovich of DJN Design Services, Inc. Changes to the space include new carpet, paint and light ﬁ xtures throughout along with streamlined artwork, modern seating areas and bright, clean designs. “Our goal in updating Drees Pavilion was to maintain the architectural integrity of the space while integrating a more modern palette,” explained Neverovich. “[Working with] a mixture of warm tones and a modern organic pattern, we added deep charcoal accents, mixed metal ﬁ nishes, textured ceiling and wall accents and textiles. The new look adds a whole new dimension to the space.” Anyone considering Drees Pavilion for an event this year or in the future is invited to the Drees Pavilion Open House on Thursday, March 12. This annual event showcases Drees Pavilion’s catering partners, select vendors and, this year, will highlight the site’s new features as well. Drees Pavilion was built in 2003 by The Drees Company to celebrate the company’s 75th anniversary. Upon completion, the company donated it to Devou Park. While the space has been recognized as one of the top local “hot spots” for private parties and gather-

The Drees Pavilion event space is over 10,000 square feet located in Devou Park. PROVIDED

The musical tells the fascinating, true, and sometimes unbelievable history of George Remus, a German immigrant, pharmacist, and bootlegger who moved from Chicago to the Cincinnati area during prohibition to be near 80% of the country’s bonded whiskey after fi nding a loophole in the enforcement of prohibition. “Returning to The Carnegie and having my own work performed on this beautiful stage, produced by their amazing staff , is a thrill and a dream realized,” said Friedman. “I am excited that the audience for GEORGE REMUS will experience this story and hear the music for the fi rst time ever. It is also a delight that the musical will be performed mere blocks away from where Remus lived the last twenty years of his life, and in a place that holds so many memories for me.” The fi rst song from the musical, “Who the Hell is Andrew Volstead?” was released October 28 on the 100th anniversary of the Volstead Act. The Act was passed to enforce the 18th Amendment, prohibiting the production, sale, and transport of intoxicating liquors. The song can be found on The Carnegie’s Facebook page, along with a link to purchase tickets for the premier staged reading of the full show on March 29, 2020. “I was so excited when Janet, Mark,

and Joe brought this project to The Carnegie,” said Carnegie Theatre Director Maggie Perrino. “George Remus has so many ties to the area, and I think it’s perfect to debut this musical, not in New York or Los Angeles, but in the heart of bourbon country where he really lived.” The March staging will be accompanied by bourbon and whiskey tastings including Jim Beam Black, Maker’s 46, Knob Creek Single Barrel, and Basil Hayden’s Dark Rye. Following the staged reading the writer and composers will host a Q&A session. Tickets for the show and tasting are $35, $15 for the show only and available at thecarnegie.com. Cincinnati-based Yates Vogt and Friedman are award-winning composers, lyricists, and playwrights. Their musicals have played worldwide in the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, The Philippines, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan. Teaming up with Yates Vogt and Friedman is playwright Joseph McDonough, two-time winner of the Mickey Kaplan New American Play Prize. McDonough has had several of his plays premier at the Ensemble Theatre and Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park. The Carnegie’s 2019-20 Theatre Series is presented by the Otto M. Budig Family Foundation. Additional support comes from the Kentucky Department of Tourism. Mikayla Williams, on behalf of The Carnegie
