Indian Hill philanthropist lauded for ‘incredible generosity’

Jeanne Houck | Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

arold Thomas of Indian Hill says he has given away tens of millions of dollars to hospitals, colleges, municipal public-safety departments and more because he believes in the adage that charity begins at home.h If that’s the case, the 87-year-old retired businessman has a family that stretches from Corryville to north of Columbus.h The most recent “relatives” to benefi t from Thomas’ generosity are the residents of Indian Hill, Madeira and Montgomery. Thomas has donated $250,000 to each of the police departments in those cities. “My reason was I knew Indian Hill needed new state-of-the-art radio equipment for each of their offi cers to be more effi cient when on patrol,” Thomas said. “I also learned they needed other items but did not have the funds to purchase them. “They spent over $100,000 (of the donated money) to equip all their offi cers with the new radios. I assumed Madeira and Montgomery had the same problem, so I included them in my giving,” Thomas said.

Cities have benefi tted from Thomas’ largesse before Indian Hill, Madeira and Montgomery have benefi tted before from Thomas’ largesse. Thomas paid for the construction of fi re stations in Indian Hill and Madeira for the Madeira & Indian Hill Joint Fire District and for ambulances for the fi re district and Montgomery. Madeira City Manager Tom Moeller said his city used the money Thomas recently donated to make improvements to the police department’s offi ces, including upgrades in security systems, and to buy equipment for offi cers. Thomas’ fi rst wife and the woman he married after she died have supported his charitable work. “Our taxpayers and residents have benefi tted

tremendously from their incredible generosity and we cannot adequately express our deepest appreciation for all they have contributed to our communities,” Moeller said.

‘We will forever be grateful to them’ Montgomery City Manager Brian Riblet said, “The Thomases’ contribution will enable us to purchase protective equipment and tools to keep our staﬀ safe while providing critical services to our community. “We will forever be grateful to them for their generosity and compassion in support of our ﬁ rst responders.” Thomas is a native of Pleasant Ridge who graduated from Withrow High School and earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration at the University of Arizona and an MBA from Xavier University. He married his grade school sweetheart, Margret “Mitze” Jung, in 1954 and the couple had two children. Thomas’ wife died in 2015. Thomas now has eight grandchildren and one great-grandson. He recently celebrated his fourth wedding anniversary with his second wife, Eugenia. Thomas worked for his father’s company, Thomas Foods, and then for Sysco Foods before becomSee DONATION, Page 2A

Offi cials in Madeira are throwing their support behind the movement promoting the rights of Black people, offi cials said. Madeira City Council has voted to develop a community action plan to promote racial equity in the city. “We have all been confronted the last (couple) weeks with the astonishing normalcy with which African Americans face systemic racism and rules of injustice breaking lives apart and literally killing them,” Mayor Nancy Spencer says in a statement posted on the city’s website. “Quite simply, Black Lives Matter and we must not wait for perfection in words or plans to take action.” City Manager Tom Moeller said Madeira is “in the very early stages of discussion on this issue. Mayor Spencer is leading the discussion with other community leaders and city staff .” Spencer told The Enquirer that Madeira City Council has decided to pursue a community action plan for racial equity with four components: commitment, connection, communication and correction. “Connection will leverage key relationships to assess needs and actions, across local leaders (city, police department, school district, fi re department and faith leaders), community input and regional connection to efforts across Hamilton County,” Spencer said. “Communication will identify tactics to listen and respond, via community forums, social media and other tools. “Correction will include specifi c actions to address opportunities,” Spencer said.

Mayor: ‘Police Chief Dave Schaefer has my full support and appreciation’ Spencer added that, “Madeira Police Chief Dave Schaefer has my full support and appreciation for his leadership developing policies and initiatives responsive to ensuring racial equity and equal justice.” Protests have already spread from Downtown Cincinnati to the suburbs, including Madeira. The most recent U.S. Census Bureau statistics show Madeira has a population of 9,245 people, of which 93.7 percent are white. See MADEIRA, Page 2A

New library branch will be ﬁ ve times larger than current quarters Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County has taken steps to expand its Deer Park branch at the Dillonvale Shopping Center. The library Board of Trustees has voted to lease a 25,000-square-foot site in the shopping center at 3900 E. Galbraith Road, the library said in an email to patrons. That’s about ﬁ ve times the size of its current location in the same center.

ing a professor of marketing at Wilmington College, where he established a marketing major program.

“We’re excited to be bringing these branch improvements to your community,” the library said. “The library expects to invest approximately $5 million in this eﬀ ort and hopes to have the work complete by early 2021.” Meanwhile, in-person service will return on Monday, July 13, to the Deer Park branch, where hours will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Service has been interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in some changes to improvements planned across the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County system.

Thomas: ‘Charity starts at home’ “I donated all my salary back to the college plus more for several projects they needed, including a new greenhouse and student lounge named after Mitze – plus furniture for faculty offi ces,” Thomas said. Overall, Thomas said, “My philanthropy philosophy is that charity starts at home. I selected areas where it would help the most people and continue to help them for years.” Some examples of Thomas’ generosity are his donations to: h The Harold and Eugenia Thomas Comprehensive Care Center for cancer and heart disease treatment at Bethesda North Hospital in Montgomery. He also was the lead donor for the hospital’s special care nursery, labor and delivery wing and emergency room department. h The Margret J. Thomas Inpatient Care (hospice) Center in Blue Ash for a major renovation. h The University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati State and Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio, for scholarships. h Corryville Catholic Elementary School for various projects. Col. Chuck Schlie, chief of the Indian Hill Rangers Police Department, said the city is fortunate to have residents such as Thomas and his wife, given their “charitable spirit and genuine passion” for Indian Hill. “The Thomases’ (recent) donation represents all that is humble and selfl ess. The Rangers cannot express enough appreciation for this gift as we will ensure that it benefi ts many people for many years,” Schlie said. Said Indian Hill Mayor Melissa Cowan: “It is diffi cult to describe in words how meaningful this gift will be to the Rangers and the (city). “We can never overstate the impact Mr. and Mrs. Thomas and their gifts have had on the community.”

would prioritize racial equity initiatives,” Spencer told The Enquirer. “The answer is simple. We must not leave people out simply because they are in the minority. “The Black Lives Matters movement is drawing national attention to a long overdue dialogue about how policies, practices, and procedures shape environments for people of color,” Spencer said. “We have an opportunity to lead by example, rather than silence or inaction.” Madeira’s racial equity initiative has drawn mixed reviews on social media.

Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

One of Cincinnati’s smallest parks is getting a big re-do. The Cincinnati Parks Foundation has agreed to pay $110,000 to spruce up – literally – the island park that is home to the historic Kilgour Fountain in the middle of Hyde Park Square. Per a plan approved by the Cincinnati Board of Park Commissioners, workers have already planted a new Blue Spruce tree to replace one that had outgrown its space, Rocky Merz, business services division manager of Cincinnati Parks, said. New sidewalks have been installed, as has new sod and a new handicapped-accessible drinking fountain. By summer’s end, Merz said, the old hedges along the perimeter of the park will be replaced with a new decorative fence. Two new benches and additional plantings will be added to the mix.

The park ‘truly is Hyde Park’s living room’ “(Hyde Park Neighborhood Council) is very happy that improvements are being made to the Hyde Park Square park, as it truly is Hyde Park’s living room, at the very heart of our community,” Trustee Janet Buening said. The square along Erie Avenue, roughly between Edwards Road and Michigan Avenue, is lined by specialty shops, boutiques, eateries, art galleries and salons. “The park and its fountain are beloved by Hyde Park residents, Square business owners and visitors,” Buening said. “In normal times, the park in spring, summer and fall is ﬁ lled into the evening with families, people reading or enjoying coﬀ ee or ice cream, and friends just gathering for conversation. “Clearly the park was in great need of revitalization, from sidewalks to grass to plantings – and we look forward to the completed project, to seeing this community gem shine brighter,” Buening said.

BACKSTORY OHIO

Mary Carter climbed into a truck with 2 kids and was dead 2 hours later Amber Hunt Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

In so many ways, life is at a standstill. For the families of victims killed in unsolved murders, that's been true a long time. Over the next several weeks, The Enquirer will highlight a series of cold cases, summarized and analyzed by the journalists whose careers largely focus on unsolved murders: the creators of Cincinnati.com's Accused podcast. If you have any information on any unsolved case, please reach out to the appropriate law enforcement agency. Suggestions for cases to highlight can be sent to accused@enquirer.com. The case: Police don’t know who killed Mary Carter, a young mother of two children, in 1980, but they know what her killer likely drove: a midnight blue Ford pickup truck with 2- to 3-inch white stripes on its sides. That’s the vehicle description Cincinnati police circulated in the weeks after Carter, a 21-year-old woman from Hyde Park, was killed Aug. 16, 1980. She’d been strangled with a ligature likely in front of her two children: a 4year-old son and 2-year-old daughter. Carter’s murder at fi rst seemed it might be quickly solved after a witness came forward and said he spotted Carter and her kids climbing into the Ford, thought to be a 1976 or ’77 model, near Vista Avenue and Madison Road about 11:30 a.m. Aug. 16. Her body was found about two hours later, left face down on the ground. Police learned through interviews that Carter had talked briefl y with a bus driver to ask about its route but learned the bus didn’t go to her desired location. Investigators surmised that’s likely why she accepted the ride from the truck driver. The two children were found wandering alone on a street not far from where their mother was discarded in the rear of a wooded lot in the 1000 block of Eastern Avenue. Because the kids were so young, they weren't able to off er

Mary Carter was last seen getting into a blue pickup truck similar in style to the one pictured here. Police investigated more than 100 trucks matching the vehicle's description but never found the killer. PROVIDED

much to investigators, though the older child said he hadn't before met the man behind the wheel. The theories: There has never been a solid theory in this case, though it haunted oﬃ cers who worked it. We know this because one of the original investigators, who’s long since retired, forwarded the case to suggest it as a possible Accused investigation. We haven't found living relatives to help us pursue the story in-depth. Carter had been married but was estranged from her husband, so he was investigated. Records showed he was some 300 miles away in the Smoky Mountains at the time of the killing. Though Carter’s death clearly stuck with that former detective, it did not get much coverage when it happened. Only a few short news stories were written about the case, none of which quoted any friends or family. The Enquirer never even ran a photo of Carter on its

pages. Hers was one of the countless deaths nationwide that barely seemed to make a blip. But that wasn't due to a shoddy investigation: The police fi le suggests that detectives were especially incensed that whoever killed Carter traumatized her children in the process. The investigation: Lt. Donald Byrd was commander of the homicide squad back in 1980. At the time, he told reporters that investigators were confi dent the trio got into the described truck. Because that area was well traveled, he’d been hopeful someone would step forward saying they’d seen the woman and her kids interacting with someone. The vehicle’s description was fi rst released six days after Carter’s body was found. Also released was a suspect description: a neatly groomed white male, age 25 to 35, of average height and build with blond or possibly gray hair and a dark moustache. He’d been wearing a white, short-sleeved, button-down

shirt, white trousers and brown shoes. Police also followed other leads: Someone bought a washer and dryer from Carter the evening before her death. She was shedding the appliances because she’d recently moved to Hyde Park from North Avondale. In 2011, police had an artist age-progress the witness-provided composite drawing of the man driving the blue pickup truck. He still hasn't been found. What should happen: Figuring out who picked Carter and her kids up is key here, which is why the thick investigative folder on the case includes more than 100 follow-ups on blue pickup trucks. Could Carter's family or friends shed some light on what type of person she might have agreed to ride with? Was she the type to accept a ride from a straight-up stranger, especially with her two kids in tow?

Jeﬀ Ruby steakhouses prepare for delivering safe but ‘high-touch’ experience Tips:

Polly Campbell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Britney Ruby Miller, the president of Jeff Ruby Culinary Entertainment, which owns seven high-end steakhouse restaurants in three states, describes her company’s approach to fi ne dining as “high touch.” That means dining rooms with chandeliers, lavishly set tables, dryaged prime beef, suave servers and lots of people-watching. But it also literally means high touch: Tableside service, the handshake at the door, the arm off ered to a lady when she walks to the restroom, even the hug or kiss for a favorite customer, not an unusual moment at these restaurants. So how does high touch work in a world when we’re all supposed to be six feet apart? How does a restaurant off er an experience of ease and comfort while following the new rules? Every food service enterprise going forward will be learning how to balance their new jobs of monitoring safety and their continuing job of off ering hospitality as the country opens up dining. The company was founded in 1980 with the opening of a steakhouse called The Precinct, located in an old police station. Miller’s father, Jeff Ruby, built and grew the restaurants and made himself a well-known, sometimes controversial fi gure in Cincinnati. His role is now as an adviser to his daughter and sons Brandon and Dylan, who also have roles in management. Even with larger success, they have a signifi cance to the city and an emotional connection to the people of Cincinnati, who go there to celebrate, to splurge, to feel good.

Two kinds of people “I think there are going to be two kinds of people. The fi rst is ready to eat out. Our phones have been ringing off the hook with people wanting reservations. For them, we have to make sure they feel comfortable and safe.” There won’t be salt and pepper shakers on the table, there won’t be the live entertainment. People won’t be able to sit at the bar. The staff who answer the

Be prepared to wait in your car. Most restaurants will not have room for a waiting area, but they’ll take your cell number and call you when a table is ready. Some restaurants will be taking reservations to keep the seating plan, and may ask for a credit card and charge you a fee if you don’t keep your reservation. They can’t afford to leave any table empty. It may be impossible to wear a mask while you eat and drink, but you should wear one into the restaurant, when you go to the restroom and when a server is taking your order. Restaurants will continue to do a lot of carryout to make up for the loss of seats for dining-in. Consider this when you order: Third-party delivery services charge restaurants such a high fee that it is hard for the restaurant to make money on your delivery order. Ordering ahead, then picking your meal up yourself is a bigger support for your favorite eatery.

The main dining room remains vacant of customers at the Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse in downtown Cincinnati on May 19. The ﬁ ne dining business is preparing to take a gradual approach to reopening, including a take-home concept running out of its Jeff Ruby's Precinct location. SAM GREENE/THE ENQUIRER

phone will have extra things to oﬀ er to make dining interesting: maybe cocktails ordered ahead of time and served immediately. There may be signage to remind customers tactfully of their responsibilities. They are working on going to a touchless payment system. And every server will wear a mask – nice masks with the JR logo on them. The biggest drawback of a mask is that no one can see you smile when you’re wearing one. “I think you can smile with your eyes. You can nod, you can wink, you can show joy and happiness in other ways,” said Miller. Servers will have to be re-trained in some ways, she said. Miller was on the committee that advised Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on how to regulate restaurant re-opening. They recommended restaurants could institute both social distancing and physical barriers in their dining rooms instead of setting an acceptable percentage of occupancy, letting owners ﬁ gure out how to use their space. One restaurant in Ohio came up with see-through shower cur-

tains for a physical barrier. At The Precinct, they’re using frosted plexiglass in custom made frames. But most of the Jeﬀ Ruby steakhouses, said Miller, already have booths with high backs, which create a physical barrier without having to eliminate tables.

For those that aren’t ready As for that second group of people: “Those are people who don’t feel comfortable. For them, we’ll have carryout options.” Even high-end restaurants, who may have been reluctant to put their food in boxes until now, will have to consider carryout to ﬁ ll the gap created by reduced dining room capacities and to keep customers engaged. The Ruby restaurant team had already seen carryout and delivery would have growing importance and was on the brink of launching an online ordering system for carryout when restaurants were closed down. They went ahead and launched it, but it did not work for them. Not because people didn’t want it, but

Any restaurant that can will offer outdoor dining, which offers a less risky environment. Don’t forget the basics: Go straight to the restroom and wash your hands when you arrive. Be nice to servers and bartenders and managers. It’s going to take restaurants a while to get it working smoothly.

because too many did. One hectic night at The Precinct, there were hundreds of tickets on the rail, trafﬁ c backed up Cincinnati’s Columbia Parkway and there were hours-long waits. That prompted them to shut the website down and replace carryout with cook-at-home family meal kits that were easier to deal with. They’ll be bringing back carryout as they staﬀ their kitchens and can manage the volume.

It was a request from a reader that inspired this column. “You told us we could freeze really ripe bananas to save for banana bread. I have several in the freezer and need the space. How about a recipe?” This reader speaks for a lot of folks out there who wound up with extra fruit, especially bananas, when we were all quarantined. I understand that banana bread was one of the most requested recipes during that time. I pulled a couple from my ﬁ les which I may have shared before with slight adaptations. The ﬁ rst recipe is a vintage one, using full fat sour cream. Maybe you’ll like the second recipe – supposed to be a clone of Bob Evans’s famous sweet banana bread. Just be sure and use really ripe bananas, you know the ones that are speckled well with dark spots. The darker the better! They are the sweetest and best to use. Now that it’s OK to visit, how about sharing with a

neighbor or friend? Tip: Use the muﬃ n method for mixing banana bread What this means is use a light touch when mixing. Don’t over mix or bread will be tough with little tunnels running through. Basically you want to mix everything gently until just combined. Banana bread can be frozen.

SPORTS Cincinnati’s top prep lacrosse players ever Shelby Dermer and Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Enquirer’s GOAT series continues on the lacrosse ﬁ eld. Who are Greater Cincinnati’s top high school lacrosse players of all time?

Girls Courtney Robinson, Mariemont – Robinson led Mariemont to a Division II state championship in 2018, scoring an area record six goals in a win over Chagrin Falls. Robinson was named a U.S. Lacrosse All-American and was named the Cincinnati Enquirer Player of the Year in 2018 after tallying 93 goals and 43 assists. She currently plays at San Diego State University. Ellie Rabenold, Indian Hill – Rabenold was a two-time All-American and a three-time All-Ohio selection at Indian Hill. She was also the Cincinnati Enquirer co-player of the year and led Indian Hill to a Division II state championship in 2017. Her fi ve goals in the state fi nal against Chagrin Falls was a Greater Cincinnati record until Robinson fi nished with six one year later. Rabenold set single-season school records in goals (109), assists (50) and points (159). She holds the school career record in all three categories. Brittany Murphy, Sycamore – Murphy was named an All-American in 2015 and led Sycamore to back-to-back state championship game appearances. As a junior, Murphy helped guide the unbeaten Lady Aves to a D-I state title in 2014 and was named the tournament’s MVP. Murphy eclipsed more than 100 career goals at the prep level before playing at Ohio University. Karen Nesbitt, Sycamore – Nesbitt was a two-time fi rst-team All-American who led Sycamore to a state championship in 2007, when she was named the tournament’s off ensive MVP. The 2007 Lady Aves fi nished 20-0 and were the top-ranked team in Ohio and a top 25 team nationally. In her fi nal two prep seasons, Nesbitt scored 133 goals with 33 assists. She went on to play at Stanford. Katie McElveen, Loveland – McElveen was a two-time U.S. Lacrosse AllAmerican and two-time fi rst-team AllOhio selection at Loveland, where she set an all-time record with 315 career goals. McElveen was named the Eastern Cincinnati Conference Athlete of the Year in 2017 and was twice named the Cincinnati Enquirer Division I Player of the Year. She went on to play at Ohio State University.

Former MND volleyball star’s video on racism: ‘Do you hear our pain?’ Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A lengthy car ride on a family vacation gave Louisiana State University volleyball graduate Sydney Mukes a lot of time to contemplate. Upset over racial issues and the unrest that ensued all over the United States after the death of George Floyd while in custody of the Minneapolis police, she decided to put some thoughts together during the 15-hour drive. As a biracial athlete who played on three state championships at Mount Notre Dame and just ﬁ nished her career at LSU, she has experienced racism along the way. She said most of her friends have had similar experiences. She wants change. Somewhere on the highway May 31, she got the idea to make a video. She began scripting it out and contacting many of her friends, black, biracial and

white asking for their participation. The reception was overwhelmingly positive and by June 4, with the help of LSU video expert Giovanni Lamonte, Mukes had arranged the participation of more than 60 friends detailing their experiences and promising to work for change. “Really, everything in that script was feelings,” Mukes said. “I was super angry and hurt and sad. I was like, ‘How can I channel all of this energy that I’m feeling into something?’” Word on “It Takes All of Us” has spread as Mukes posted the video on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube resulting in thousands of views. She’s received positive feedback from many, including those who don’t even know her. “I was nervous to put this out or ask people in the ﬁ rst place,” Mukes said. “The worst they could say was ‘no.’ This project is so much bigger than myself or my fear of being told ‘no.’” She also used her athletic connec-

tions to enlist some notable contributors both nationally and locally. From the NFL she has Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert and from the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans, there’s Moeller grad Jaxson Hayes. Hayes details an incident that occurred while he was a freshman in high school when someone new in the area threatened to call the police on him. “I’d lived in that neighborhood my whole life and they threatened to call the cops on me for walking in my own neighborhood,” Hayes said. In addition to Hayes, other familiar names locally are University of Cincinnati/USA volleyball player Jordan Thompson, Jillian Hayes of Loveland and UC women’s basketball, the McBride family (Trey from Northwood, Miles from West Virginia and Kristen from MND), Bobby Jeﬀ erson of St. XaviSee RACISM, Page 2B

Lacrosse Continued from Page 1B

Boys Sam Hubbard, Moeller — Yes, the cheap pick in the “best of ” draft, but Hubbard could most likely still wipe the fl oor with doubters using his lacrosse skills. After learning he would be a coveted football recruit, Hubbard dropped lacrosse to bulk up and have a football body, but the current Cincinnati Bengal had started lacrosse in third grade and was committed to Notre Dame to play lacrosse. Jim Kennedy, Moeller— Kennedy is a builder of lacrosse programs in Greater Cincinnati. His father, Tom, was the coach at Moeller in 1992 and 1993 when the Crusaders won the fi rst boys state titles in Ohio by an area team. The younger Kennedy was an All-American and the Midwest Player of the Year for the 1993 champion Crusaders. Jim played collegiately at UMass from 1994 to 1997, leading UMass to the NCAA tournament twice. He was a coach in the Moeller program before building his own team by accepting the fi rst head coaching position at St. Henry in Kentucky, helping to grow lacrosse in the state. Connor Buczek, St. Xavier—Buczek graduated from St. Xavier in 2012 as a two-time All-American for the Bombers. On the United States U19 lacrosse team in 2012, Buczek helped win gold in the Federation of International Lacrosse U19 World Championship. Buczek played at Cornell where he was named the head coach in 2020. As a player, Buczek was a three-time AllAmerican, a three-time unanimous First Team All-Ivy League selection and the 2014 Ivy League Player of the Year. In the 2015 Major League Lacrosse Draft, Buczek was the second overall choice by the Florida Launch, where he

has the second-most points in the franchise’s history. He was a three-time MLL All-Star and was an All-Star in 2019 in the Premier Lacrosse League’s inaugural season. Also in 2019, Buczek won a bronze medal at the 2019 World Indoor Lacrosse Championship. Coupled with his professional career, Buczek had been an assistant coach at Cornell before taking over in 2020. Connor coached the Cornell squad featuring his brother, Griﬃ n, as a senior

defender. Anthony DiMichele, Mariemont— DiMichele was a leader on the 2017 Mariemont team that won a state championship while dominating the playoﬀ tournament. DiMichele scored 31 goals for the Warriors in the championship season. He started his collegiate career at Centre College. As a freshman at Centre in 2018, DiMichele started all 15 games where he scored 15 goals and had a team-high 15

er and Dartmouth football, Jeremiah Davenport of UC basketball, Chase Wolf of St. Xavier and Wisconsin football and former MND volleyball players Sabrina (UC) and Margo Wolf (Dayton). Sydney Mukes’ brother, Donovan, also makes an appearance along with several of his current Moeller teammates. He was racially profi led when he was 11 years old. “My neighbors told me to watch their dog for the weekend,” Donovan Mukes said. “It was around 8 a.m. and I had to go take out the dog. It was fall time so it was cold. I had a jacket on and I took out the dog. I was walking home and a police car followed me. The offi cer came knocking on my door.” The family was told there was a call that a young, black male was being suspicious, walking around the neighborhood. The Mukes family lives in a predominately white neighborhood and Donovan was saddened he was seen as dangerous due to his skin color and how he wore his jacket. The video features other stories and numerous African Americans contributing lines written by Mukes such as, ‘Do you hear our pain?’ Mukes then defi nes the term oppression in big letters, displaying a lengthy list of victims. Former Oregon and current Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert begins leading the white contrib-

assists. As a sophomore in 2019, DiMichele scored 10 more goals with 13 more assists and in a 2020 season shortened to just fve games, he had two goals and two assists. Macko Saffi n, Mariemont — Saffi n, a 2014 Mariemont graduate, was the youngest member of the 2019 Doc Kusel Hall of Fame at Mariemont. Saffi n was the leader of the 2014 Mariemont team that brought home a state title, scoring 66 goals throughout the season. As a junior for Mariemont, Saffi n was First Team All-Region and the MVP of the Ohio State Championship Game. Saffi n was named the 2014 Division II Player of the Year and earned nearly every fi rst-team honor in the books, nabbing First Team All-American, All-State, All-Region and All-City selections.

utors in the video project by saying, “I hear you and stand by you.” That phrase is repeated as well as “I am an ally” by the numerous white friends who volunteered to be a part of the statement. It wraps by going back and forth between black and white with the following statement: We are the next generation. We are the next teachers. We are the next business owners. We are the next physicians. We are the next prosecutors. We are the future coaches. We are the next politicians. We are the next novelists. We are the next police oﬃ cers. We are the next leaders of this country. “We need everyone to stand and take a voice together,” former Moeller and current UC basketball player Jeremiah Davenport said. Mukes then makes an appearance at the end saying she believes if they speak up for justice, changes will occur. The video credits roll as Lady Antebellum’s “Let It Be Love” plays. Among the video’s beneﬁ ts is it gave many of her friends a platform to voice an opinion, which they may not have otherwise publicly voiced. “That’s another reason why it’s been so impactful and transforming,” Mukes said. “It gave them the opportunity to speak and share their testimonies. Everyone was so receptive. Not one person that I asked said ‘no.’” Mukes majored in leadership human resource development at LSU and now plans to return to get her master’s degree. She turns 22 next month. The video can be viewed at https:// bit.ly/2XSuJUK

Goodwill honored to be invited to Virtual PigAbilities race As the Title Sponsor of the PigAbilities event which is part of the annual Flying Pig Marathon each year, Ohio Valley Goodwill was delighted to be invited to participate in a “virtual” PigAbilities race which took place in Mariemont on June 3. Originally scheduled to take place during the ﬁ rst weekend in May, the PigAbilities event was re-scheduled due to the COVID-19 crisis and is now being held in conjunction with the Queen Bee Half Marathon in early October. PigAbilities is designed to provide an opportunity for athletes of all abilities to participate in the festivities of the Cincinnati Marathon weekend in an accessible and welcoming way. Goodwill is proud to be the Title Sponsor of the PigAbilities event for the ﬁ fth year in a row. The “virtual” PigAbilities race was held at the request of two of the athletes along with their coaches, Claire Lynch, Meghan Leonard, Alli Lynch and Rachael Colaw, in the village of Mariemont and included a one mile course. The families of the athletes had arranged for a bagpiper to be there to play both before and after the event and dozens of on-lookers and cheerleaders were on hand to support the athletes during the one mile race.

rity income is between 66 and 67 years old. “Each client is unique,” said Kiner. “Advisors must understand questions and issues relating to each and every client. Prepare now for the many questions you will receive from clients about Social Security.” “Whether a person is single, married, divorced, a surviving spouse, has children, or is a public employee should help determine your Social Security strategy,” said Blair. “Smart advisors will get ahead of the Social Security learning curve so they can help clients maximize Social Security income by becoming qualifi ed and competent advisors.” Ninety percent of American workers do not maximize benefi ts when claiming Social Security, which can mean leaving up to $200,000 on the table during retirements that can last 20 years or longer. NSSA Certifi cate Program tuition is $695 and includes education, the certificate in all instances after passing the assessment, and Premier’s Gold Standard of Support. Support includes monthly webinars with personal counsel on Social Security questions from Kiner and Blair. “We understand that this is a diffi cult time, as many advisors have experienced a reduction in revenues and profits,” said Blair. “But this is also a great time for advisors to learn about Social Security in anticipation of the economy opening up later in 2020.” Premier off ers two incentives to advisors due to the coronavirus, said Kiner: a $50 discount by using discount code “covid19” and a payment plan (discount code: paymentplan) that allows for a payment of 25 percent at registration, with 75 percent payment in six months.

Most recently serving as director of development for The Christ Hospital Foundation, Hayes brings decades of releHayes vant knowledge and skills, plus deep community roots. She holds a bachelor of arts in political science from Denison University and a master of arts in higher education administration from The Ohio State University. “We are excited to welcome Roseann to our team at this critical time,” said HPCOA executive director Shelley Goering. “Her experience and enthusiasm make her a great addition.” HPCOA was founded in 1974 to enhance the intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual well-being of older adults through supportive services and engaging activities.

Treatment’s Board of Directors has named Chellie McLellan, a seasoned non-profi t professional with extensive service to the community, as the organization’s next CEO. McLellan was most recently the founder and CEO of Healthy Homes Block by Block – an organization that has transformed neighborhood-based services for families living in Price Hill.

Prior to serving as founder and CEO of Healthy Homes Block by Block, McLellan was a program director at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where she helped improve and transform the delivery of health care through neighborhood coalition building. She also held positions at Santa Maria Community Service and United Way of Greater Cincinnati. McLellan has been a tireless advocate for family health, social service innovation and strategic business development in the nonprofi t sector. She is a resident of Kenwood/Sycamore Township.

SCHOOL NEWS Indian Hill High School’s Valedictorian and Salutatorian in their own words Within the Indian Hill High School (IHHS) Class of 2020, they stand apart as academic leaders. Class of 2020 Valedictorian Jonah Sorscher and Salutatorian Anay Gautham left their mark as Braves. “Jonah’s remarkable intelligence alone would allow him to succeed in every possible career fi eld, yet Jonah also has a wildly creative side that leads me to believe he could easily be the next hit Broadway composer. Jonah is a Brave with no limits,” said IHHS Teacher Jeff Clark. “Anay is a very ambitious young man. He has a passion for success and excellence in all that he pursues. I expect Anay to achieve many great things as he continues his life’s journey,” said IHHS Teacher Dennis Dupps. Before Sorscher begins Harvard, and Gautham heads to Georgia Institute of Technology, we sat down with the Braves for a Q&A looking back at their time as Indian Hill students. Indian Hill High School Valedictorian Jonah Sorscher: (Harvard) Indian Hill School District (IHSD): What has Indian Hill High School meant to you? Jonah Sorscher (JS): Being at Indian Hill for the past 13 years, it’s hard to imagine anything diff erent from my school experience, and I often forget just how extraordinary this district is. I think the best thing Sorscher about IHHS has been the cohesive community between faculty and students. The faculty is constantly listening to the students’ voices, addressing their concerns, and providing resources for students to mount their own ideas – ideas that wouldn’t even be considered at many other schools. The teachers’ doors are always open for us to talk about our struggles, whether they be with the course material or in our personal lives, and they act not only as mentors, but as friends. (IHSD): What are your best memories of Indian Hill High School? (JS): One of my best memories at Indian Hill was when my counselor asked me if I’d be interested in helping start a

student chapter of Courageous Conversations — a group dedicated to discussing equity and inclusion in the school. Now, two years later, I’ve opened up to students and teachers in ways I would never have imagined, and I’ve fostered connections that I’ll keep forever. (IHSD): What does the future hold? (JS): I can’t wait to see Courageous Conversations and other groups continuing to promote diversity so that every student can feel welcome at Indian Hill in the way I did. Thank you for everything, Indian Hill! Indian Hill High School Salutatorian Anay Gautham: (Georgia Institute of Technology) Indian Hill School District (IHSD): What has Indian Hill High School meant to you? Anay Gautham (AG): Great school with high standards, platform to mature and grow up, broad class offerings allowing you to explore varied interests and get ready for college, hard-working students Gautham who are motivated to push themselves and excel. I really enjoyed the pep rallies at school; it was a great way to wind down after a hectic day. I also enjoyed learning about unique interests of my fellow classmates at the talent shows before winter break. I loved the auditorium because it was like a movie theater, fun and relaxing. And, I liked hanging out at the basketball and tennis courts. (IHSD): What are your best memories of Indian Hill High School? (AG): JSA: Enjoyed Washington D.C. trips, especially walking around the city, the hotel and visiting the Capitol, White House, the museums, and the food (especially: “We are the Pizza”), was excited to win the JSA Scholar award to attend Stanford in the summer of 2018. I indulged my passion for computer science at the Ohio supercomputer center, at Mariemont High School, and by volunteering at the Western and Southern Open for the past ﬁ ve years where I successfully built and tested a unique computer program for the tournament). Tennis: I loved being an integral part of Braves tennis since my freshman year, winning the OHSAA silver and golden racquet awards, playing sectionals and

districts, and being part of the Indian Hill team that reached the Ohio Division II State team ﬁ nals in 2018. (IHSD): What does the future hold? (AG): Get to campus, meet new people, learn new things, ﬁ gure myself out, enjoy warm weather throughout the year. Heather Higdon, Indian Hill School District

CHCA’s annual ArtBeat takes a twist by CHCA Fine Arts Director Mona Summers SYMMES TOWNSHIP – When it was clear CHCA’s 22nd Annual ArtBeat arts festival would have to be canceled, it was so disappointing. ArtBeat is a day-long celebration of the visual and performing arts that brings the entire CHCA community together - from the youngest preschoolers through Grade 12! The committee had already been working on the event for many months. To learn that all the work would be for nothing was diﬃ cult, but not as diﬃ cult as knowing the students would not be

able to share their beautiful artwork and performances with the community. It was then that a plan for Virtual ArtBeat began so that at least part of ArtBeat could be shared with the community. After working for months on all that goes into ArtBeat, which typically draws over 2,200 people, the committee had to pivot quickly in order to plan and implement a Virtual ArtBeat to draw hundreds in, well, virtually. CHCA Fine Arts Director, Mona Summers, immediately reached out to the visual art teachers to share with them her vision of Virtual ArtBeat and they were excited and ready to do the work it would take to make this possible. Summers then reached out to the ArtBeat auditioned performers to ask them if they would like to be a part of Virtual ArtBeat, which required them to send in videos of their performances. Many of the ensemble auditions were not able to participate in light of sheltering in place at home. However, there were some duets who got very creative in order to share their videos. A few videos from auditions that parents took from the sidelines were able to be shared, as well as videos from dance competitions where dancers competed with the same pieces they performed at auditions. Summers then pulled together a schedule for the Virtual ArtBeat event and the behind-the-scenes work to put it all online commenced. As in the typical live and in person ArtBeat, there are so many notable Virtual ArtBeat highlights. 1,435 pieces of artwork and 68 performance videos were included. In addition, the committee held a Juried Art Competition (results displayed below) as part of the virtual event. Virtual ArtBeat lasted ﬁ fteen days, beginning Friday, May 1, 2020 and ending Friday, May 15, 2020. Each day at 5:30 p.m., new artwork and performances were released to virtual audiences. In its duration, Virtual ArtBeat had over 3,674 webpage views and was the 2nd most popular webpage on www.chca-oh.org, only after the homepage. Visitors enjoyed the visual and performance art an average of 4 minutes, with one page averaging 5:25 minutes per visit! Curious to see what you See SCHOOL NEWS, Page 11B

Madeira seniors named top artists in Ohio Three Madeira High School (MHS) seniors had fi ve works of art selected as the top 300 artworks in this year’s Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Exhibit. The Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition, now in its 50th year, is dedicated to the educational and artistic advancement of talented students selected from Ohio’s 1,112 high schools, both public and private, chartered by the State of Ohio Department of Education. MHS Seniors Asher Hodges, Verona Schaff ner, and Olivia Zack each had art work selected. MHS art teacher Jill Dulgeroff was pleased with the committee’s choice stating, “The Governor’s Exhibition is a huge accomplishment for these students. It’s one of the top honors for a high school art student, especially for a school the size of Madeira High School.” From over 11,000 regional entries, approximately 2,500 works of art are cho-

AJC honors local high school students with Human Relations Award For 55 years, American Jewish Committee (AJC) has honored outstanding student volunteers of all faiths who have demonstrated a passion for making our community a better place in which to live with the Simon Lazarus, Jr., Human Relations Awards. One junior winner, four junior ﬁ nalists, one senior winner and four senior ﬁ nalists have been recognized for their exemplary volunteer accomplishments and awarded a cash prizes. Caitlin Broderick, a junior at Wyoming High School, was selected as the senior class winner of the 2020 Simon Lazarus Jr., Human Relations Awards. This academic and volunteer role model epitomizes the essence of human relations work daily as both a participant and a leader in her community. She is moved by an innate desire to understand others, and in her own words, “lift up my voice on behalf of those without power --the criminalized, impoverished, women, people of color, children, and the disabled.” Caitlin has been profoundly shaped by youth mission experiences both in urban Chicago, where she learned about generational poverty and the disparities

within the American legal system, and in Costa Rica, where she encountered fi rsthand the struggles of indigenous people, inspiring her environmental activism. She’s proud of her role as an intern at the Federal Public Defender’s offi ce and her work with Project LEAD where she helped launch a twice-weekly, after-school tutoring program for Central American immigrants in Carthage, focusing on reading, English, homework help, and cultural assimilation. Her experience at the Public Defender’s offi ce encouraged her to assist those who can’t help themselves. Caitlin’s goal is to attend law school where she intends to become a public defender and an author. Caitlin coordinated and led the Community Climate Change Rally for which she wrote an article and poem that were published in Wyoming’s community newsletter. Following the event, she led a discussion about climate change for a youth group. Her great passion is writing, and she felt herself emerge as a leader through the process, culminating with her role as the featured rally speaker in front of several hundred school and community members. Some of Caitlin’s many other service interests include Project H.O.P.E. (Help Our Planet Earth), Relay for Life, food pantry work, Ohio Teen Ambassador Board, and A Characteristic Attitude, where she dresses up as a Disney princess at local charity events. She’s a member of Model United Nations, the National Honor Society, and helped lead a writing group to promote equal rights and social justice. Jillian Rice, a senior at Indian Hill

High School was selected as the senior class winner of the 2020 Simon Lazarus, Jr. Award. For the past three years Jillian has been working with World Water Relief to raise funds to provide clean and safe drinking water in the Dominican Republic. These funds will also be used to teach local people how to maintain the water systems for the future. Jillian was able to complete a number of fundraising eff orts to reach her goal of $10,00., including sales at a 4th of July parade, establishing relationships with local businesses, and engaging the Indian Hill Brownies to make her crusader their project of the year. To quote Jillian, “seeing the enormous role that water plays in my life made me question why I wasn’t doing something to make sure everyone in the world had access to at least enough water to live.” Jillian also volunteers as a youth coach for children 12 and under, turning her passion for swimming into a benefi t for young people. Jillian has traveled to Peru to work with local farmers, teaching them more effi cient farming techniques so that they can become more self-suffi cient. Jillian was described by a reference as unassuming, kind, dedicated, and beyond humble. Jillian was also described as a game changer with her wheels always turning. These attributes and her dedication to others contributed to her selection as the Senior Lazarus Awards winner. Cathy Heldman, AJC Cincinnati
