MOM OF ICU NURSE:
For that split second she was safe Liz Dufour Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A sign of compassion, the simple act of hugging, has become very complicated in the age of the new pandemic. After I shared a photo of my friend, Cheryl Norton, hugging her daughter, Kelsey Kerr, an ICU nurse at Christ Hospital, the reaction was overwhelming. People understood what the impromptu gesture represents. How much we need one another. How much we live fully in the small moments. And, quite specifi cally, how a mother is not easily barricaded away from a daughter who might need her, even if just for the briefest of respites. “It felt like my heart went, ahhh. It felt so good to hold her for a second,” Cheryl said. “The thing that was interesting about the photograph is you could see how tight she was holding me. It was like she was home again. She was safe in my arms. For that moment, for that split second, she was safe.” See NURSE HUG, Page 2A

An emotional mother-daughter hug captured by a Cincinnati Enquirer photographer has gone viral and made it all the way to “Good Morning America.” Recently, Enquirer photographer Liz Dufour shared the picture of Blue Ash resident Cheryl Norton hugging her daughter, Kelsey Kerr, an ICU nurse at Christ Hospital. Kerr is draped in a sheet to protect the two women from the spread of novel coronavirus. “Norton so much wanted to hug her, so she put a sheet over her so she could hold her tight, just for a moment. After this hug, Cheryl dropped the covering in the garage. It will lie there for three days before she washes it in hot soapy water,” Dufour wrote. See GMA, Page 2A
Deer Park school distributes hundreds of laptops Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
DEER PARK – Kenny Elliott, a fi fth grader at Amity Elementary School, joined his mother Wednesday, April 8 to retrieve a Chromebook laptop from his school. Since March 17, the fi rst full day of a statewide school closure, Kenny has relied on YouTube and help from parents to complete his assignments. Kenny expects that now, with a Chromebook, learning from home will be easier. The device will connect him to additional work not available in packets and to teachers who can best address his questions. Kenny retrieved one of the 295 devices that school offi cials distributed See LAPTOPS, Page 2A

A note to readers In keeping with best practices that have been put in place across the newspaper industry, the Community Press is phasing out its youth carrier program and replacing it with an adult delivery force. This decision was not made lightly. The tradition of “paper boys” and “paper girls” delivering the newspaper is a nostalgic part of our history. But in the interest of youth safety, we believe it’s the right thing to do. The change will take effect with May editions. In the meantime, please continue doing business with your youth carrier and thank them for their dedication and service. We also thank them for bringing you the Community Press each week and being a vital part of our team. Future editions of your newspaper will include a pre-addressed envelope for mailing your subscription payment.

European contemporary hits market in Hyde Park Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Despite all the economic uncertainty related to the COVID-19 crisis, the “For Sale” signs are still out and new listings continue to hit the local real estate market. Recent listings include a sleek “European contemporary” house in Hyde Park that hit the market about a month ago for $1,095,000. The nearly 4,000-square-foot, twostory home at 2124 Gold Street features

Wednesday to bolster distance learning amid the novel coronavirus crisis. More than half of the school's approximately 600 students had requested a laptop, either because their family doesn't own one or, if they do, it's been in use by another family member. The district does not, however, have a plan for connecting students to internet at home, a solution adopted by some districts. About 4.4% of families within the Deer Park Community City Schools district do not have home internet, according to U.S. Census estimates. But the district is allowing students and parents to drive or walk to the Amity parking lot and use the school's WiFi, provided that social distancing practices are maintained. The same off er stands at Deer Park High. David Conover, the district's director of facilities, said a lack of universal home internet among district families has been challenging. "We have families without access. Nothing we can do other than think outside the box a little bit. ... Times like these demand that," he said. Rachelle Smith, a single mother of four, picked up two Chromebooks for her fourth- and fi fth-grade children. Though she has a laptop at home, the recruiter for Total Quality Logistics must use it for her own work tasks. Smith said laptops will enhance her children's ability to learn, but because they weren't distributed until now, the fourth week of the school closure, students are "going to be playing some catch-up." Jennifer Elliott, Kenny's mother, said that though she has WiFi at home, economic strain due to the crisis led her to seek an extension on her Spectrum internet bill this month. The company granted her a 15-day payment extension, Elliott said, though Spectrum's website says residential customers' service won't be terminated and late fees will be waived for qualify-

The mother-daughter pair spoke with “Good Morning America” about the moment. On “Good Morning America,” Norton said she wanted to seize the moment. “I just want to know she’s OK so when I got that one opportunity to see her, I just had to throw that sheet over her,” Norton said. “I thought I want to hug her and if she has a sheet around her maybe I

can do it.” Kerr and her family live about 15 minutes apart and said it was “unusual” for her to not be able to hug her mom during drop-off s. She also discussed the toll of working in the hospital. She told “Good Morning America” she hopes people see “a little bit of sunlight” in the photo. “There’s so much diffi culty right now but we’re going to make it through it and we’re all going to be together in the end,” she said. “It’s just a matter of getting there.”

Cheryl said it was a spontaneous decision to drape her daughter and embrace. Kelsey was stopping by to pick up prayer shawls for critically ill patients and as she walked outside, her
eyes fell on a sheet in her clean clothes basket and she thought, “I can put this over her.” “I did it for me. But that was kind of selfi sh. I did it for her also because I didn’t want her to feel like she was contaminated.” Cheryl said she had read that health care workers were feeling so isolated. She added, “You put your life on the line and then you
come home.” And you have to social distance from your family. “I probably won’t hug her for a couple months, even if I do get to see her, which I probably won’t.” After she hugged her daughter, Cheryl said she placed the sheet in the garage to sit for three days before washing. And she washed her hands. Kelsey went back to working on the front lines.

Wyoming doc employs local T-shirt business to save on scrubs Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
With scrubs in short supply, Dr. Alison Neff switched to something else. The primary-care doctor and her staff at Trihealth Women’s Center in Kenwood are now wearing specially designed shirts every day. The white shirts with long black sleeves let anyone who sees this medical staff know they are “COVID-19 Warriors.” The shirts were created by Chase Stein, lead graphic designer at locally owned SRO Prints in Evendale, a company that designs, screens and sells shirts. Neff is from Wyoming, and so is SRO Prints co-founder Brandon Swinehart. She reached out to him for the shirts that would identify her staff as, well, a staff , but would also save on scrubs, which are in short supply during the novel coronavirus pandemic. Turns out, it was a win-win. The partnership between Neff and Swinehart helped SRO Prints stay afl oat. “We saw a huge drop in business on March 13, as most of our clients are schools, restaurants or events,” Swinehart explained. Neff ’s order was more than welcome. Now, SRO Prints is selling the shirts online, at Neff ’s suggestion. Anyone can buy them. And to pay it forward, Swinehart is providing half of the proceeds from the shirts to Over-the Rhine Community Housing.

So it’s a win-win-win. You can get a shirt for $15 at SRO Prints. SRO Prints has always had a pay-itforward mission. The company vows to be a “socially responsible organization,” so giving to the housing group isn’t exactly a stretch for SRO Prints. The company also provides employment to at-risk women and men recovering from addiction. Swinehart has been in recovery for more than 14 years.

Senior Day front door displays catching on Scott Springer and James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Housebound by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s “Stay at Home” restrictions, high school senior athletes can now be honored right at their front door. No, there’s not a door-to-door committee to salute your senior’s accomplishments, but no one’s stopping you from decorating the entrance of your home with your senior memories. Wilmington High School athletic trainer Kelli Veidt, whose senior daughter plays on the Hurricane softball team, originally got the idea on Pinterest. She thought working at the high school and her contacts could help it catch fi re. “I went ahead and did my daughter’s fi rst, then I posted it,” Veidt said. “Ev-
erybody else just followed along. It’s something simple and it’s something that most people have at home. It’s not anything that people have to go out and buy. Whether it’s a jacket or uniform, there’s some way to showcase your kid.” It has since taken off with Wilmington athletic director Troy Diels asking each senior to tag him on Twitter for each display. “She tweeted it at me and it kind of snowballed from there,” Diels said of the idea. “From there we put out the request to have parents tag us in it. We’re looking for any chance we can get to recognize these kids right now.” Following suit, Loveland principal Peggy Johnson has also seen the idea and urged her seniors to hang their memories at the doorstep as well. “That was my goal,” Veidt said of the trend catching on with others.

St. X students help make 3D-printed handless door hooks Shelby Dermer, Scott Springer, Alex Harrison and James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK
As nurses and doctors continue to fi ght cases related to the novel coronavirus, they face a daily struggle to keep themselves protected and to stop the spread of germs and virus at any point possible. When asked what doctors and nurses on the front lines at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital needed to keep the hospital cleaner, the answer was quick: handless door hooks. Door handles are used so commonly that they can cause the spread of unwanted germs, and with the use of the handless door hooks, medical professionals can have one less surface, or touch point, to grab. To make the devices, the MakerSpace at St. Xavier High School was used and the 3D printers were fi red up. The processes started at the 1819 Innovation Hub at the University of Cincinnati and St. Xavier tacked on to collaborate in order to add more to the supply. The hooks are made to be attached to a lanyard or name badge with a graspable handle. On the other side of the handle is a hook that grabs on to door handles to push down and open. Utilizing the handles allows medical professionals to move place-to-place and carry about treatment in the safest, most protective way possible. The Enquirer will provide regular stories of kindness and levity displayed as Greater Cincinnatians cope with the new coronavirus pandemic. Here are more:

School in Reading just hosted a dance over the weekend. Naturally, social distancing isn’t conducive to dancing, but with Zoom, a successful freshman/sophomore aff air along with competitions took place. Traditionally, the spring sophomore/ freshman dance is for bonding and leadership for MND’s two youngest classes. According to MND Principal Karen Day, the Cougars made the most of the situation. “Leave it to our empowered sophomore class offi cers to make lemonade out of lemons!” Day said. “The dance became digital, full of good conversation, interactive games and a peer and faculty Tik Tok! Even Sister of Notre Dame de Namur Ruth Bedinghaus (biology teacher) showed up for the fun. In a time where sadness and negativity abound, our faculty and students became the light for each other.”

Oak Hills soccer sends a sign for spring Like the rest of those who would like to grab the ball, mitt and bat, and kick up some dirt with three sacks arranged in triangular fashion, the Oak Hills softball team is hoping beyond hope they can have a season. With Gov. Mike DeWine’s recommendations, Ohio schools remain closed through May 1, with the OHSAA assumably to make some declaration af-
ter that date. For the Highlanders to hit the fi eld, social distancing must continue for now as they demonstrated in a collage posted on Twitter over the weekend. The picture reads, “Please stay at home so that we can play softball again. Love, Oak Hills varsity softball.” Jackie Cornelius-Bedel coaches Oak Hills, who was 15-11 last spring. They last won the Greater Miami Conference seven years ago. “Although the players understand the importance of social distancing and that the governor is doing his best to keep the numbers down, we’re still holding faith we will be able to salvage a part of the season and tournament for our senior class,” Bedel said. “We’re begging people to do what they’re asked so the spring athletes aren’t completely skipped this year. Our seniors put in time and work. All they want is one last season.” Bedel expects a GMC Twitter challenge to evolve this week as it has with many of the sports.

Savoring the little things is a benefi t Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist
A few weeks ago, I tossed well-aged chicken manure onto our vegetable garden. Today, as I tilled it, I was happy to see fat worms wiggle through. A simple country pleasure. To top that off , my neighbor Liz stopped by with her toddlers, Ollie and Calvin. Yes, they kept their distance, though it was hard for those little ones not to run right up to say hello. The boys played in the sandbox, checked the chickens out and then they went walking back home. That, too, brought a smile. Maybe something simple in your life was magnifi ed this week, as well. Savoring the little things is a benefi t of this “sheltering in place,” don’t you think? Anyway, by the time the garden was tilled supper was on my mind. I made a cooking school favorite. Originally from friend and cooking expert Carol Tabone, this chicken with mustard sauce is not only easy, it’s out of the ordinary and so yummy. A way to elevate the chicken we all seem to have so much of.
Chicken moutard (chicken with mustard sauce). RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER
Chicken moutard (chicken with mustard sauce)
Heat butter and oil and sauté until – golden brown and cooked. Remove from pan and keep warm.
This calls for whipping cream and white wine. Worth a trip to the grocery.
Pour off some of the fat that remains. Deglaze pan with wine and reduce by half.
Whipping cream can be frozen – just whisk it after thawing.
Add shallots and 3/4 cup of the cream and reduce until nicely thickened (but not too much).
The wine can be any white or even Rose or white Zinfandel. In this day and age, no use getting picky. This is my slight adaptation to Carol’s recipe. I served it on a bed of spinach.
Dilute mustard with rest of cream and whisk into sauce. Pour in any juices from chicken. Heat through but don’t boil. Place chicken on plate, nap with the sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan.
Ingredients About 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 breasts)
Gilding the lily: A shower of chopped parsley is nice on top.
Salt and pepper
Tip:
Butter and olive oil for sautéing
Why a combo of butter and olive oil?
2/3 cup white wine, dry wine if you have it (see note above)
Butter adds flavor but has a low smoke point; oil has a higher smoke point, keeping butter from burning.
1/4 cup fi nely chopped shallots, or red or sweet onion
Unsalted or salted butter – does it matter?
1 cup whipping cream
Not in this recipe since you are adjusting the seasonings.
2 nice tablespoons Dijon mustard (or country mustard) Parmesan cheese for garnish
Unsalted butter doesn’t keep as long as salted since salt acts as a preservative.
Instructions
I freeze extra unsalted butter.

Sports What does Moeller’s Logan Duncomb bring to the Hoosiers? Shelby Dermer and Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Moeller junior center Logan Duncomb committed to join Archie Miller’s Indiana Hoosiers on Tuesday, April 7. Duncomb announced his decision in a tweet. The coveted four-star recruit chose Indiana University over Stanford, Ohio State and Xavier among others. “I just felt I went on enough visits and I knew all the information I needed to know,” Duncomb said. “It was the right choice and the best fi t for me.” Indiana coach Archie Miller has been involved with Duncomb since last summer. The Hoosiers off ered during the June high school team month, then began a full-court press on Duncomb to get him to Bloomington. “Indiana’s done a really good job recruiting him, they’ve been really persistent,” Moeller coach Carl Kremer said. “I thought Logan was going to wait a little longer, but it got to a point with him where he knew where he wanted to go. I think his family has done a great job in guiding him. He was ready to make that call and he made it.” Miller was in attendance at Xavier’s Cintas Center to see Duncomb score 19 points and grab nine rebounds in a 65-25 victory over Springboro in the district fi nal. What does Duncomb off er the Hoosiers? “My hustle,” he said. “Not giving up on plays. Going after every rebound and stuff like that. I’m not afraid to get dirty and I have the ability to play inside and out and spread the fl oor.” Logan Duncomb is 6-foot-9 and 240 pounds with a 7-foot-3 wingspan. He also has youth on his side as he’ll fi nish at Moeller next year at age 17 and is set to play his freshman year at IU at 18. “I think he’s really a big-time recruit,” Kremer said. “He’s a very good athlete. His motor runs really high. He’s highlyranked in our class as a student. I think he’s going to be a really, really good college player. He runs the fl oor every possession and goes for every off ensive rebound.” Duncomb loved the Bloomington campus, the players coming in that were committed, the academic and athletic possibilities and ultimately the legendary Indiana sweatpants. “The candy cane pants are pretty awesome!” Duncomb said. Last season, Duncomb averaged 14.2 points per game and led the Greater Catholic League-South in rebounds to go with 36 blocked shots. The junior was named fi rst-team all-district and thirdteam All-Ohio. Duncomb’s parents moved to the area fi ve years ago from Illinois. His father is from Iowa and his mother is from Wisconsin. Logan Duncomb didn’t have a dream school but admittedly was leaning Big Ten. “We grew up watching the Big Ten and he grew up watching the Big Ten,” Brandon Duncomb said. Duncomb started 28 games as a sophomore, helping lead Moeller to its second consecutive Division I state championship. A third may have been coming before the OHSAA canceled winter tournaments due to the new coronavirus outbreak. Duncomb will have to wait for 2021 for another chance. “I won’t be able play with those seniors (2020) again,” Duncomb said. “I’m over it now but it was kind of rough.”

Senior seasons cut short by Coronavirus scare Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Jake Murray’s journey to Northern Kentucky University began near Colerain High School, located near U.S. Route 27, and ended just off that same route in Highland Heights where the Norse play baseball. On March 12, March Madness, the College World Series and anything involving NCAA activities came to a screeching halt due to new coronavirus concerns. Final seasons were snatched away; no Senior Day, no commencement. The Greater Miami Conference Player of the Year in 2015 had fought to play Division I baseball by making the most of his two seasons at UC-Clermont. Murray’s United States College Athletic Association All-American achievements earned him a chance to fulfi ll his dream with coach Todd Asalon’s NKU Norse. Transfer rules kept him out for 2018, then he battled back pain for some of 2019. This season was supposed to be special as his freshman brother Luke had joined the team for Jake’s senior year. With professional aspirations, Jake was leading the Norse in hitting through 17 games at .310 and had knocked a pair of homers. That’s where his numbers will stay. Sherry Murray found out her son’s long-awaited senior season for the Norse was over by way of a Snapchat post featuring two cleats hanging from his locker. Later, he brought his jersey home. “He said, ‘Do you want this?’” Sherry Murray said. “It just tore me up. It’s just like nothing, there’s no fi nality to it, no nothing.” Void of organized activity, Mark Murray has continued to throw to his sons. Another day, they found solace in the vast openness of a golf course. “I never imagined anything like this would happen,” Jake Murray said. Update: Thanks to the NCAA extending eligibility for Division I athletes affected by coronavirus shutdowns March 30, Jake Murray is in the transfer portal looking to play a fi nal year of baseball somewhere else. Also on the NKU roster, Kyle Klingenbeck missed his Senior Day at Elder when Tommy John surgery forced him from the mound to the dugout in 2019. One year behind him, Kory Klingenbeck was the Panthers catcher. Kory admittedly cried more than once at Kyle’s loss. It was a bitter disappointment for the family who had hoped to see the battery of brothers excel in Kyle’s senior season. Limited by a brace to the dugout, Kyle gained valuable perspective.

Michael O'Brien's St. Joseph's college golf season ended prematurely in Florida. O'Brien was a golfer on Moeller's 2014 state championship team THANKS TO KRISTEN O'BRIEN
“It allowed me to realize that everyone has their struggles and some last longer than others,” Kyle Klingenbeck said. “Having someone to talk you through your low points is that little kick anyone needs to let them know everything will be alright.” He may now need that expertise for his brother Kory. Kory Klingenbeck signed with Walters State Community College in Tennessee after making GCL-South First Team as a junior. Now after an off season getting ready for one more run with the Panthers, it could be over. With Ohio schools currently closed through May 1, the window on OHSAA
spring athletics inches closer and closer to being shut. “Missing this season would break me down in pieces,” Kory Klingenbeck said. “Knowing it would be my last season putting on that jersey with Elder across my chest is something I looked forward to since I was a little kid.” For the Klingenbecks, it would be two consecutive Senior Days where their sons couldn’t fi nish on the fi eld. The NCAA cancellations extended to golf, where Moeller grad Michael O’Brien was not ready to tap out his college career. After being a four-year varsity player for Moeller’s 2014 Division I state championship team, the former GCLSouth Player of the Year struggled to get recruited. O’Brien hounded the coach at St. Joseph’s in Philadelphia enough to get a shot. Making the travel squad for his fi rst tournament, he won the event in a playoff after fi ring a 69 in the fi nal round. Better yet, it came in front of coaches who said he wasn’t good enough. Atlantic-10 Conference recognition and Ping All-Region honors followed last year. This season, O’Brien won three fall tournaments, had a round of 61 to his credit and averaged under 70. “Michael was on a spring break trip with his team and coach in Florida prepping for the rest of the season heading into the conference tourney when they got the news the season and his college career-had come to an abrupt end,” mother Kristen O’Brien said. “We really haven’t even had time See SENIORS, Page 2B

Ohio-Kentucky all-star basketball games canceled James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
The annual Ohio-Kentucky All-Star basketball games, an annual staple of hoops hysteria at Thomas More University, have been canceled. The event was scheduled for April 11 at the Connor Convocation Center. The all-star series brings together some of the top senior basketball players in both Ohio and Kentucky, including a generous helping of Greater Cincinnati’s best. The organizers of the games released the fi nal rosters for this year’s event. They contain many of the top players in each state. Newly crowned Mr. and Ms. Basketball in Ohio, VonCameron Davis of Walnut Ridge and Madeline Westbeld of Kettering Fairmont, were on the roster. The rosters include several top contenders for Mr. and Miss Basketball in Kentucky. The Kentucky awards for Mr. and Miss Basketball were set to be announced April 5, but that has been postponed. On the Cincinnati side of the river, local boys players invited to the team include Jackson Ames of West Clermont, Trey Robinson of Hamilton and Maxwell Land of Moeller. On the girls side, locals include a veritable fi rst-team all-Cincinnati, including Dy’Jhanik Armfi eld of Oak Hills, Alana Carter of Mason, Sean Kelly Darks of Walnut Hills, Navaeh Dean of Lakota West, Jillian Hayes of Loveland, Aliah McWhorter of Sycamore and Mercy McAuley teammates Lexi Fleming and Ashley Tudor. On the Kentucky side, Treshawn Cody of Lloyd Memorial was the only boys invitee. Girls invitees included Maggie Jones of Simon Kenton, Jayla LaBordeaux of Lloyd, Tyra Murphy of Conner and Jade Simpson of Holy Cross. Marques Warrick of Henry Clay, a Northern Kentucky University commit, was also on the roster. The fi nal rosters in Kentucky included nine fi nalists for Mr. or Miss Basket-

to process this.” Update: Again thanks to the NCAA extending eligibility, O’Brien entered the transfer portal and is mulling off ers from Central Florida and Florida Gulf Coast Losing the Ohio Division I state championship game in extra innings last spring has hung with the Lakota East softball team many a sleepless night. The Thunderhawks fi nished 30-2 despite losing head coach Steve Castner early in the season with herpes simplex encephalitis, a virus causing cerebral dysfunction. Long-time assistant Jess Howard stepped up along with Steve’s brother Dan. Steve is set to return but the fi elds remain empty. With each passing day of inactivity, Jess Howard has reached out to players hoping to ease the disappointment. “This is their year,” Mike Niehaus, father of catcher Abby Niehaus said. “Coach Castner missed a state-run last year with a virus, now this virus may take out the whole team’s shot at the title!” In the Forest Hills School District, seniors from Turpin and Anderson’s softball teams made a preemptive strike on coronavirus concerns. Faced with schools closing March 16, Turpin coach Jess Hartley tried to make what was a fi nal practice more interesting by phoning Anderson coach Dick Purtell for a scrimmage. “I asked the team if they were interested in a scrimmage at Turpin,” Anderson coach Dick Purtell said. “They nearly knocked me down getting out of the gym.” Turpin’s three seniors and Anderson’s eight then made the most of their Friday the 13th, by doing what many of them had been doing the past four seasons for their schools. Some of Anderson’s players were chasing records and had hoped for an Eastern Cincinnati Conference title. A few will continue playing in college, but for some March 13 may have their fi nal opportunity to wear their school’s name on a uniform in an organized setting. “I just wanted to give them the opportunity to get on the fi eld,” Turpin’s Hartley said. “That’s what you have to do in times like this, make the best of the moment.”

The goal is to leverage the challenge restaurant visits into thousands of repeat visits – and potentially double Columbia Township’s investment.

A collaboration with the Community Improvement Corporation of Greater Cincinnati – the township’s economic development partner – made the program possible. Kubicki said he’s proud of how quickly the trustees and CIC came together for the stimulus. Trustee Chris Kritikos helped shape the stimulus based on his career experience in the hospitality sector.
Helping local communities for fi ghting COVID-19 In this unprecedented COVID-19 fi ghting time, the Greater Cincinnati Chinese Association (GCCA) proactively stepped up for organizing mask donations in Cincinnati area. The GCCA board fully engaged the diligent community team after work, including medical mask sourcing investigation, certifi cate and quality verifi cation, community donation advertisement, and mask delivery from China to Cincinnati in the past two months. As a result, we have donated 8,000 medical masks for UC Health hospitals and 2,000 medical masks for the public service department – emergency EMA team/police offi ce in the City of Mason. As professional employee volunteers, we are proud to have the great opportunity to fully contribute the local communities and people with the well-trained leadership and agility skills. We are continuing to make more contributions for local hospitals to stay together and win the fi ght against the Coronavirus in the Greater Cincinnati area.

SCHOOL NEWS Springer students try their hand at unconventional art Recently, students at Springer School and Center experimented with unconventional art under the guidance of Louisville artist Amy Parks. Using acrylic paint, each student in all art classes created their own piece of art, painting on canvas with unusual items such as silk fl owers, rubber toys and even a plastic dinosaur. Parks then worked with small groups of Middle School students creating abstract pieces using acrylic paint and pouring medium. “I really tried to impress upon the students that you do not need fancy brushes and years of private lessons to create beautiful art,” Parks said. “What you do need is to be creative, passionate, and to make use of materials available to you.” Parks showed the students a video clip of a lizard who “painted” by walking through the paint, and another about an artist who was born without fi ngers. “I enjoyed working with the artist, and I wish I could do it again,” remarked eighth-grader Logan Felsheim. “Our painting turned out really good!” Eighth-grader Veronica Keil said, “Amy was a great teacher. She has very creative ideas,” and Annika Sandman, also in eighth grade, added, “She was very kind, and did a great job, though she said she had never worked with stu-
dents before.” With a degree in art from the University of Louisville, Parks has worked as a freelance artist and designer since 2001. She has become known for using unorthodox materials and techniques – she once covered a canvas with a mixture of glue, sugar and ground marble which created a delicate surface on which to paint. One client asked Parks to paint wall-sized pieces on the back of several antique maps. “I hope each student has a sense of pride in what we created during my visit,” remarked Parks. “The program at Springer is second to none, and honestly something I’d expect to see more from a high school or college level curriculum. It was an honor to be a part of that, and to have my creations join the ranks of other artists who have visited before me, and to have left a legacy of a passion for the arts at the school!” Parks spent six days at Springer as the 2019-20 Maureen Wenker Artist in Residence. The residency was established in 1993 by Paul Wenker in memory of his late wife, a Springer supporter and volunteer, and parent of three Springer alumni. Carole Barnhart, Springer School and Center
school year, they have modeled servant leadership. Each quarter the IHHS Student Government works on a service project. This school year, students donated 223 pairs of shoes for Soles for Souls; collected more than $500 for Hurricane Dorian victims; and just last week, students collected 1,400 pantry items for NEEDS which operates out of Kenwood Baptist Church. “Volunteering outside of the Indian Hill School District has provided the op-
portunity for me and my classmates to learn about and help other communities,” said IHHS senior David Slattery, who serves as the IHHS Student Government Treasurer. “Learning to serve is part of what it means to be an Indian Hill High School Brave, and we are very proud of the efforts by our student leaders,” said Indian Hill High School Principal Jeff Damadeo.

Sycamore Township. Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy’s Grade 7 & 8 Power of the Pen Team recently qualifi ed for the Power of the Pen State Tournament, which was scheduled to be held at Wooster College in May of 2020. Thanks to the guidance of Upper School Teacher Mrs. Mimi Ehlen, CHCA formed a Power of the Pen team in 2018. Eleven of CHCA’s grade 7 and 8 students fi lled this year’s team, who competed at Districts on February 1, 2020 at Mariemont Junior High School. Fifty percent of the District Tournament writers qualify for Regionals; six of the eleven CHCA students qualifi ed to go on: Maddie Dietrichs (of Mason), Kaveri Easwaran (of Mason), Kelsey Espenshade (of Mason), Addison Maloney (of Union Township), Esther Medlin (of Symmes Township), and Abby Null (of Sycamore Township). Espenshade placed 1st and received Best in Round in both Round 1 and Round 2. These six students competed at the
Regional Tournament on March 7, 2020 at Wyoming Middle School. Twenty percent of the Regional Tournament writers go on to State, including four CHCA students – Dietrichs, Espenshade, Maloney, and Medlin. In addition to qualifying for State, Maloney received Best in Round in Round 3. The writing competitions are very intense. Students compete in three rounds of writing on a given topic, with 40 minutes given for each round. They are ranked and given quality points for each round; they then receive their ballots back at the end of the day and can see what the judges liked and suggested for improvement on their approaches. The judges are directed to look at originality and a mastery of literary techniques (unusual narrators, surprise endings, dialogue, building suspense/ interest, etc.). During the Regional awards ceremony, it was also pointed out that now there are all of these amazing, unique stories in the world that didn’t exist before that day. Power of the Pen’s mission statement is: “Because the ideas, dreams, and beliefs of today’s youth form the foundation of tomorrow’s communities in Ohio, Power of the Pen is dedicated to helping young people fi nd and develop a creative voice that is uniquely their own. It is a mission we will realize when we inspire every teacher and challenge every student to truly embrace the art of creative expression through writing as a life skill.” CHCA English teacher and Power of the Pen Coach, Mimi Ehlen, shared, “I’m so very proud of the students and the work they have put into this program to be successful.” Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy’s Upper School is Cincinnati’s only Christ-centered six-year college preparatory school that exists to prepare students intellectually and spiritually for success in higher education and to impact and infl uence the world according to their unique gifts. CHCA is a private, 501(c)3 non-profi t preschool-grade 12 academic institution with buildings in Symmes Township, Sycamore Township and downtown Cincinnati.
