Sonny Kim’s legacy continues at Symmes Township dojo Ian McKenzie Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The dojo sits in a small retail complex on Montgomery Road, but the space holds the large legacy for its late chief instructor, Sonny Kim. Kim, who was a Cincinnati police ofﬁ cer, was shot and killed ﬁ ve years ago while he was in the line of duty. His dojo, Japanese Karate-Do in Symmes Township, opened in 1996 and still trains students now under the leadership of Rob Grossheim.

Grossheim started training under Kim in the early 2000s and they became friends. Kim invited Grossheim to a Superbowl party one year. While at the party, Grossheim saw one of Kim’s kids carrying a broken trophy. Grossheim said there was a box in Kim’s house ﬁ lled with the trophies and medals Kim had won. Grossheim said he knew that Kim was training, just to train, not to win anything. “He didn’t care about trophies,”

Grossheim said. “He just let his kids play with them.” Grossheim said one of Kim’s favorite lines was “shut up and train.” Kim, who was 48, was killed June 19, 2015. He is survived by his wife and three children. Trepierre Hummons, his killer, was shot and killed by another oﬃ cer who was arriving to assist Kim. Hummons mother has previously said her son knew and liked Kim, but wanted to die. See LEGACY, Page 2A

The day after Cincinnati police officer Sonny Kim was murdered in 2015, instructors and students at Japanese Kararte-Do mourned his death . Kim was loved and respected by everyone at the dojo. THE ENQUIRER/SAM GREENE

Vacant Hyde Park restaurant to be reimagined by new owner Polly Campbell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Brad Bernstein, who owns Red Feather Kitchen and Postmark, is taking over the vacant spot of Dutch’s Larder in Hyde Park. He’s calling it Red Feather Larder at Dutch’s and plans to open in early August. Dutch’s, which closed in January, started as a pony keg, grew into an extensive beer and wine shop, added a local butchery and charcuterie, had a lunch counter and evolved into a bar/ restaurant as well. The new version will be similar, but with less emphasis on the restaurant aspect. There will be no full-service tables. Bernstein said it will be a place where customers can “shop like a chef.”

How to submit news

“We’ll have local meat and produce, dairy and local cheeses. Plus added-value local products like jams and preserves,” he said. He’s teaming up with Nino Loreto, formerly owner of Panino, to make cured meat products from local meats. And his chef de cuisine at Red Feather, Andrew Mersmann, is going to be back with him to create a menu of sandwiches, charcuterie and cheese boards and other casual food that can be ordered at the counter and eaten out on the patio or in the shop. Seeing delivery of food becoming a way of life since COVID-19 has kept people indoors, Bernstein will be adding subscription boxes. “I think it’s the wave of the future,” he said. There will be See RESTAURANT, Page 2A

butcher boxes and market baskets that can include wine and be delivered as often as a customer signs up for. “I’m committed to fresh, sustainable, local food,” said Bernstein. “I’m sticking with that philosophy.” Bernstein is not planning to open Red Feather Kitchen in Oakley soon. He’s thinking after Labor Day. His other restaurant, Postmark in Clifton, which he has turned into an event space, will be open for dining in “dinner party” style. There will be one prix-ﬁ xe menu and one service time for tables for 2-8. Customers will buy tickets for the dinner. Bernstein said he’ll enforce some socialdistancing rules. The ﬁ rst dinner is planned for July.

Hummons had called 911 from Madisonville and said a man had a gun in his area. Then he waited until Kim arrived. Kim was the fi rst Cincinnati police offi cer killed in the line of duty since 2000. He worked more than 27 years at the Cincinnati Police Department while owning and operating his dojo since 1996. “Sonny was a good friend of mine,” Cincinnati police Chief Eliot Isaac said. “I knew him my entire career.” Isaac said it was unbelievable that it has been fi ve years since Kim was killed. “Sonny left a huge hole in the department,” Isaac said. Isaac said Kim’s death is a constant reminder of the dangers offi cers face. One of Grossheim’s fondest memories of Kim was during training camps, when a group of instructors would be doing laundry. They would just sit, do their laundry and talk for hours. He said Kim knew the potential of students, so until they tried to do something, Kim would not let them give up. In training, Kim wouldn’t give students the answer, Grossheim said. He made students understand why moves were done in specifi c ways. Grossheim said he misses being able to train under and learn from Kim. At the end of each training session, Kim would have his students recite the training hall rules: “Seek perfection of character. Be faithful. Endeavor. Respect others. Refrain from violent behavior.” Kim’s family has donated money that was raised for them to organizations helping other survivors of deaths in the line of duty. In February, Cincinnati renamed East Hyde Park Commons at 3357 Erie Ave. to Police Offi cer Sonny Kim Park. The park is next to Cincinnati Police Department District 2 headquarters, which is where Kim was assigned. It honors Kim’s fellow offi cers and the sacrifi ce their families make.

Local Boy Scouts group discussing status of Schott’s name on building, lake Cole Behrens Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The local Boy Scouts of America organization is weighing the status of controversial philanthropist Marge Schott’s name on several of its facilities, including its headquarters in Evendale and a lake near Loveland. Dan Beard Council CEO Andy Zahn told The Enquirer on June 23 the Boy Scouts abhor racism and are deciding what to do about the controversial former Reds owner’s name on a lake at Camp Friedlander and The Marge Schott Scout Achievement Center in Evendale. “The Dan Beard Council is actively listening to our Scouting families and the community, and we are discussing the right path forward with our board of directors,” Zahn said in an emailed statement. . The move comes as other Greater

Marge Schott Scout Achievement Campus is in the Village of Evendale off Reading Road. Schott is the former Cincinnati Reds manager who came under ﬁ re several times for making racial comments. LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER

Cincinnati organizations jettison Schott’s name due to her record of racist and bigoted remarks. The Marge & Charles J. Schott Foun-

dation gave $2.5 million in 2005, after Schott’s death, toward the construction of the achievement center, according to the Dan Beard Council website. A conference room in the center was named in her honor, and features photographs of her. “Pictures of Marge Schott and her involvement in Scouting, including Camp Friedlander’s Lake Marge Schott, remind us of her commitment and generosity,” the website states. Schott, a Cincinnati native, became the owner of the Reds in 1984 and was banned from managing the team from 1996 through 1998 after making statements endorsing former Adolf Hitler. During her tenure as owner, Schott made slurs toward African-Americans, Jews and persons of Japanese descent. Schott agreed to sell her controlling interest in the Reds in 1999. Schott died in 2004.

have opted to remove Schott’s name from their buildings. The University of Cincinnati Board of Trustees announced June 23 they were removing Schott’s name from the baseball stadium after several baseball alumni, including Kevin Youkilis, petitioned the university to remove the name. Saint Ursula Academy, a Catholic school in East Walnut Hills, announced earlier in June that they were removing her name from a science wing and a stadium named after her dog. The Marge and Charles J. Schott Foundation released a statement, saying they support the organizations who remove her name. “While we cannot make excuses for the rhetoric made by Mrs. Schott decades ago, we can ask you to learn from Mrs. Schott’s mistakes as well as her great love for Cincinnati.” Keith Jenkins contributed to this report.

Gosh, this week I’m having a hard time deciding what recipe to share. Will it be black and red raspberry jams? With this latest rain (thankfully) my berries are ripening fast. Or classic cherry bounce made with black sweet cherries? A good for what ails you “potion” and a lovely liqueur. Cherries are in season and I’ve gotten several requests to share that recipe again. If I’m going strictly by the number of requests, though, you want my totable orzo salad more than the jams or liqueur. I’m thinking that’s because July 4 is around the corner. Take a moment won’t you, and be mindful of the abundant blessings of living in this country. Yes, we’re living in challenging times. But we have love, fellowship and caring

along with amazing food. Good reasons to gather and celebrate this holiday. This orzo salad is the perfect “go with” for a summer meal. No worries, though, about the jams and cherry bounce. Go ahead, stock up and freeze the fruit if you want (cherries should be stemmed but leave the pit in). I’ll get you those recipes in the next couple of weeks.

SMILE Club gives people reason to do just that during COVID-19 They call themselves the SMILE Club, and during this time of social distancing – they are living up to their name. Students with the Students Making Individual Lives Enjoyable, or SMILE Club, built their organization as a community service club within Indian Hill High School. Despite the fact they are distance learning, the students have connected virtually and developed a service project to connect to senior citizens. “Since we cannot physically volunteer at the locations we usually do, we decided to create virtual cards to send to senior citizens around the area,” said Indian Hill High School student Vandita Rastogi, who founded the SMILE Club. “We have made around 15 diﬀ erent ecards with words of positive encouragement and light-hearted jokes to lift their spirits.”

The SMILE Club has been sending these cards out since mid-March to Carriage Court of Kenwood, Brookdale, the Arden Courts, as well as to VOICES, an organization based in Indiana. “I believe in what Maya Angelou said, ‘People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel,’” Rastogi said. “During these unprecedented times, it is important to look after our loved ones. While we can always reach out to our extended family, the seniors living in nursing homes don’t always have that opportunity. So, we wanted to lift their spirits, ease their anxieties a little and let them know that we are thinking of them and we miss them dearly.” The SMILE Club created the inspirational cards online and sent them to the diﬀ erent senior home volunteer direc-

tors to be printed and distributed to residents. For the SMILE Club founder, the act of kindness to strangers comes from a place that hits her close to home. “I started the SMILE club two years ago after coming back from my trip to India,” Rastog said. “I realized that my grandparents really missed interacting with us, and they would always talk with us late into the night or whenever we were free. I wanted the elderly here to have that same feeling. Since it’s not possible to physically meet them right now, I found e-cards to be a way to connect with them virtually. They can read them whenever they feel like they need a pick-me-up.” Follow the IHHS SMILE Club on Instagram @smileclub_ih for ideas on how you can help serve the community.

SPORTS Moeller soccer still expects to compete for titles Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

KENWOOD — Moeller soccer head coach Mike Welker can still see it in his dreams. The dream, which plays out more like a nightmare, occurs nearly 14 minutes into the overtime period of the 2018 Division I state championship game against Medina, when his team surrendered a goal for the fi rst time in 28 days to end Moeller’s dream season. “There’s not a week that goes by, it used to be days, that I don’t legitimately dream about the state championship game,” the fi fth-year coach said. That gut-wrenching defeat in Columbus preceded a similar heartbreak in 2019, when another one-loss Moeller team was stunned in the regional fi nal by Lakota East after yielding a pair of second-half goals. “Over the last three years we’ve given up three or four goals off of set pieces,” Welker said. “We gave up two in one game.” All of it is a driving force for Welker and his team. Over the last three seasons, they’ve compiled a 51-6-8 record with a pair of district championships. Welker is the three-time defending Greater Catholic League-South coach of the year and was Cincinnati coach of the year in 2018. But the bottom line remains: Moeller still has the state championship box to check. But the team doesn’t get too far ahead of itself. Goals are well-established prior to the season-opener. They’ve remained the same since the start of the 2017 campaign. “Win the GCL, beat St. Xavier twice and become the No. 1 team in the city,” Welker explained. “The guys determine them. I’m heavy in goal-setting and investing in achievable goals. We have those three every year.” Welker has heard the critiques, which claim that Moeller is going through a rebuilding stage. The Crusaders graduated 15 seniors from last year’s 18-2-2 club and Kade Tepe, a secondteam All-Ohio selection in 2019 who led the GCL-South in goals (21), is forgoing his senior season to play for the FC Cincinnati Academy. Still, those goals remain, inspired from a quote Welker often recites that exudes confi dence. “We don’t reload, we don’t rebuild — we’re Moeller,” Welker said. “It can get twisted as arrogant, but it’s our expectation to be the No. 1 team in the city. If you start to lower those expectations, then you’re selling yourself short because we have the talent and we have the coaching staff to create memorable championship seasons and make a deep run in the playoff s.” After three seasons of being Cincinnati’s top-ranked Division I squad, Welker is hoping a new wave of leaders will author the beginning of their own trilogy. All-Ohio selections in Tepe and Parker Grinstead, along with goalie Cal Collins, who had over 30 shutouts in his career, are some of the more notable departures. Welker and company will lean on a solid group of underclassmen,

which includes seven with varsity experience from 2019. “Charlie Niehaus scored the gamewinning goal vs. St. Xavier and J.D. Marshall scored in the regional ﬁ nal,” Welker said. “We have a whole group of sophomores like Luke Wilson, Chase Wessendorf and Ryan Gramza. It’s gonna be guys that we need to step up. We put them on varsity at a young age so that they’re ready for this next leap.” There will be a trio of key juniors in the midﬁ eld, too. Trevor Morrison scored twice in the postseason last year and Christian Ohmer, who didn’t get to play the second half of the year after transferring, but Welker called, “a star in the making.” Welker also raved about incoming junior transfer Casey Wellage, who previ-

ously played at Lakota East. “I think he’s a top-3 player in the city,” Welker said. “He’ll be a big-time player for us. Hopefully we get him for more than eight games.” For now, Welker and coaches throughout the state are rejoicing in the relief of being able to practice. Moeller kept its original off season schedule without canceling anything due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, then prayed that they’d be able to hit the fi eld in June. Ohio’s phases of reopening allowed Moeller to return to the basics. In previous years, the team would go to an open fi eld for an intrasquad scrimmage with no coaching.

Summit alum wins leadership award at ESPYS Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The 28th Annual ESPY Awards show on was recently held remotely due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, but that wasn’t the only shake up. Instead of awards for athletic achievements, awards were handed out for humanitarian and activism eﬀ orts. Niah Woods, a 2018 graduate of Summit Country Day, was one of seven recipients of the 2020 Billie Jean King Youth Leadership Award. “The Billie Jean King Youth Leadership Award is designed to recognize young people for tackling issues that

challenge communities around the world,” King said in a video before reading oﬀ the list of winners. Woods, who now runs track at Howard University, was honored for her work with The Grassroot Project, which “capitalizes on the excitement, relatability and popularity of sports to provide much-needed health literacy and social empowerment programs to DC teens. “In addition to providing health education to DC teens, we invest in the leadership training, cultural competency, and professional skills of hundreds of NCAA varsity athletes who serve as our program facilitators,” the project’s website said.

The website says it partners with over 50 public and charter schools in the Washington D.C. area for health education programs and work to provide health education and health screenings at community events. The project recruits over 100 NCAA student-athletes from four local universities to be Grassroot Coaches. Woods was a two-sport star in track and basketball at Summit Country Day. On the hardwood, Woods was a fouryear varsity player who helped lead the Silver Knights to a 100-6 record over that span with three district championships See ESPYS, Page 2B

Greater Cincinnati's top prep athletes honored Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Cincinnati.com Sports Awards was a virtual event this year hosted by national sports broadcasters Jesse Palmer, Sage Steele, Dr. Jerry Punch and Courtney Cronin. Big winners on the night included Ohio State commit Kailyn Dudukovich and the Lakota West girls soccer team. Dudukovich was named Girls Soccer Player of the Year for leading Lakota West to the Ohio Division I state championship and also Girls Athlete of the Year as she is a starter on the Firebirds girls basketball team. She was also recently named Ohio Gatorade Girls Soccer Player of the Year. Both Dudukovich and Boys Soccer Player of the Year Parker Grinstead of Moeller were announced by U.S Women's team member and native Cincinnatian Rose Lavelle, formerly of Mount Notre Dame. The Lakota West state championship girls soccer team coached by Brigit Reder was named Team of the Year by New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. In similar fashion incoming University of Cincinnati freshman Evan Prater was named Boys Small School Football Player of the Year after earning Ohio's Mr. Football Award as the quarterback of the Wyoming Cowboys. Also a top scorer and rebounder for Wyoming's basketball team, Prater also won Athlete of the Year honors. The Dudukovich and Prater allaround awards were announced by Super Bowl MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs. While Prater took the small school football award, Notre Dame-bound Michael Mayer of Covington Catholic was the Big School Football Player of the Year. Likewise, Mayer was Kentucky's Mr. Football, giving Greater Cincinnati a pair of highly-decorated pigskin performers. Both football honors were presented by New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. In hoops, Moeller's Max Land was Big School Boys Basketball Player of the Year. Land was denied the chance at a third straight Division I state championship with the Crusaders due to new cor-

onavirus restrictions put in place as the OHSAA tournament got underway. Land will play at St. Francis and was ﬁ rst-team all-state. Wyoming's Isaiah Walker, who has another year to play for the Cowboys, was Small School Boys Basketball Player of the Year. Like teammate Evan Prater, he was an All-State selection. As a junior Walker led the Cincinnati Hills League in scoring at 24.7 points per game for the Wyoming QB Evan Prater (2) runs for a touchdown during the Cowboys D-IV Regional Championship game against Valley View on Nov. 23. 24-1 Cowboys.

Former Moeller golfer O’Brien second for amateur title Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Former Moeller golfer Michael O’Brien fell in the championship round of the 120th BMW Philadelphia Amateur Championship on June 20. In the 36-hole ﬁ nal at Lancaster Country Club, Zachary Barbin of Liberty University won the match 5&3, meaning he had a ﬁ ve hole lead with three holes left to play. It was in the 33rd hole that Barbin

won three strokes to fi ve strokes to clinch his victory. O’Brien had a one-hole lead after the sixth hole, but won just seven of the next 27 holes while Barbin won 13. From the 19th hole to the 27th hole, Barbin won fi ve while the rest were ties, giving Barbin as mu h as a six-hole lead. O’Brien advanced to the June 20 championship round after beating his former collegiate teammate Richard Riva in the tournament quarterfi nals and Matt Mattare of Saucon Valley Country

Club in the semiﬁ nals. O’Brien graduated from Moeller in 2016 and played collegiately at St. Joseph’s University. O’Brien graduated from St. Joseph’s University, but had an extra year of eligibility and will play as a graduate transfer at Florida Gulf Coast University. Former Moeller golfer Michael O'Brien had his college season cut short at St. Joseph's while in Florida. THANKS TO KRISTEN O'BRIEN

coaches to be hands-on with distancing activities like passing patterns and emptynet shots. When phase 2 began on June 22, the team was able to work backward to 9-on-9 and 11-on-11 full-contact training. “This whole thing has been interesting and allowed our coaching staﬀ to really react to our player’s needs and their health,” Welker said. “Now we can end the practice with a game-like environment that allows the guys to play the game they love. In a weird way it’s actually helped us a ton.” Regardless of how the team trains, practices always end with sprints. It goes back to the last two season-ending loses. “We run at the end of every practice because we were tired at the end of the Medina game at state, we were tired vs. Lakota East. We’re always hammering that back home,” Welker said. Playing the slate of sturdy opponents Moeller battles each year can take its toll over a three-month season. That extra conditioning could mean the diﬀ erence between a dream and a nightmare down the road.

In track, Woods was the anchor on Summit Country Day’s 4x200 meter relay team that fi nished sixth in the 2018 OHSAA Division III state track and fi eld championships She was also the MVC champion in the 100-meter dash, 200meter dash and long jump. She was the 2017 MVC Athlete of the Year, a twotime fi rst-team All-Ohio selection and Southwest Ohio Runner of the Year.

BRG Apartments enjoys welcoming people home Jessica Levy Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Managing more than 7,800 highquality, aff ordable apartments in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, BRG Apartments takes pride in helping residents fi nd the next place they’ll call home. One major reason that residents choose BRG Apartments is because it offers a large portfolio of homes that are well located, well maintained and reasonably priced. Another key factor is that its employees are dedicated to the idea of working with customers as true individuals. Every resident has their own unique preferences and requirements. Whether that means making sure a home is petfriendly, getting a kitchen that’s big enough for all of your appliances and gadgets, or having amenities like a swimming pool or a gym, no request is too big or too small for BRG Apartments to assist with. “Traditionally, BRG prospective residents would go to a leasing offi ce to tour the community and apartment homes,” said Jennifer Illanz, BRG Marketing Manager. “BRG has adopted new technology that now allows prospective residents to view via virtual tours on our website. This allows the resident to fi nd the perfect home for their needs”. When making hiring decisions, the company seeks out people with a genuine commitment to service and to making a diff erence for their residents as individuals. It also looks for employees who derive satisfaction from working together as a team. Finding the right match for each position is important. In an industry that often has high employee turnover, more than 40% of employees have been with the company for longer than fi ve years. That low turnover is in line with the company’s credo of providing careers, not jobs. To prove that point, BRG Apartments frequently pays for educational and training opportunities and provides a very competitive benefi t package with performance-based bonus programs. In return for employees’ dedicated service, BRG Apartments goes above and beyond to take care of them. Even during

the COVID-19 pandemic, the company has been fortunate enough to maintain its payroll. It’s also working with employees to accommodate their schedules and other needs, off ering as much fl exibility as possible at all times. “As a result of COVID-19, BRG was forced to quickly shift away from our 2020 business priorities and focus quickly on the health & safety of our residents and employees,” Jeff March, CEO of BRG, said of the COVID-19 pandemic. “The company also adopted three guiding principles for how we would operate the business. These priorities included: team member and resident safety; job and fi nancial security for BRG team members; and housing stability for the nearly 8,000 families who live in BRG apartment homes. “As a business that provides housing

WE MOVE Your stuff out and back in

to our communities, BRG has operated throughout the pandemic while instituting new protocols and safety measures. BRG has also provided relief to residents experiencing hardships by eliminating late fees and rent increases, providing access to rental assistance programs and suspending all evictions.” Company management also oﬀ ers employees an understanding ear, during both the pandemic and more normal times. Since the leadership team has extensive experience working at properties on-site, it can draw on that experience when advising employees and setting expectations. Many members of the locally owned BRG Apartments team live in the same communities that they serve. BRG and its principals provide meaningful ﬁ nan-

cial support to over 25 local organizations both fi nancially and through volunteer eff orts that include the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Cincinnati, The Children’s Home of Cincinnati, United Way, Apartment Association Outreach, Inc., Fisher House and more. BRG is very active in the Apartment Association’s Charitable Outreach Program which provides fi nancial and other support to individuals who face diffi cult circumstances. This includes a partnership with the Freestore Foodbank for rent assistance and food drives, low income senior events, a back to school program, educational scholarships and supporting 21 food pantries.

Events are starting to happen! Here's how to get yours listed Luann Gibbs Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

As Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana gradually reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic, it's not "business as usual." Due to continued social distancing requirements, everything from restaurants and bars to museums, pools and amusement parks have enacted policies on how to best keep guests safe. There are limits to the number of guests allowed inside at a time. Most venues now require a reservation with timed entry/exit. Many places require guests to

wear masks and have their temperature taken before admittance. And while things may look diff erent for some time to come, it's a necessary part of keeping both staff and guests safe. Yeah, it's a bummer that we can't enjoy a Reds game on a wonderfully mild summer evening, or rock out with half the city at a Jimmy Buff ett concert, but instead of bemoaning our losses, why not rejoice in the small gains? Some events are fi nally starting to take place. They may not be on the size or scale of a Reds game or River-

bend show, but they are an important part of our reawakening from the stay-at-home orders. If you have an event you would like added to our calendar listings, there are several ways to do so. The simplest way is to visit events.cincinnati.com and add your event to our calendar database. We use this database to create our weekly event listings online and in print. You can also email your event to calendar@cincinnati.com with "things to do" in the subject. To submit a community-related news story for possible publication, visit local.cincinnati.com/share.

Ohio River Foundation (ORF) is waiving all fees for its Mussels in the Classroom program for fall 2020. Established in 2017, Mussels in the Classroom (MIC) is the fi rst program of its kind in the country. It takes live freshwater mussels, an often overlooked species that’s critical to ecosystems, to schools in Greater Cincinnati, Columbus, Lexington, Georgetown and Frankfort. “Our education programs help students learn important Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) content that relates to state standards while also inspiring them to become the next generation of environmental stewards,” said Rich Cogen, Ohio River Foundation’s executive director. “Anticipating that many schools will be unable to take fi eld trips this fall, we want to make sure students still have opportunities for hands-on environmental learning.” Even if classroom setups are diff erent when students return to school, ORF can adapt the MIC program to meet teachers’ needs. To accommodate schools with visitor restrictions, ORF educators can set up equipment when class is not in session, and they can conduct the presentation they’d normally lead in the classroom via videoconferencing or a pre-recorded video. Because the mussels remain in the classroom for two weeks, all students can observe them, even if they aren’t all in the classroom on the same day. Students have the opportunity to care for the mussels and participate in provided activities or come up with their own creative projects. Why mussels? The animals serve as our rivers’ natural fi lters, straining the water and eating everything from dead leaves to algae. But pollution, habitat destruction and overfi shing are taking a toll: Nearly half of the 127 mussel species once found in the Ohio River Basin are now considered extinct, endangered or species of concern. Students participating in the MIC program will gain a better understanding of these animals and the threats they face. MIC is open to grades K-12, and applications are accepted on a rolling basis via the program’s web page. The program is off ered the entire school year, September through May. Interested teachers are encouraged to register now, as space is limited. In addition to MIC, ORF off ers its perennially popular River Explorer program in Greater Cincinnati and Columbus. The inquiry-based fi eld trips let students be junior scientists for a day as they learn about the ecology and importance of the Ohio River and its watershed at area creeks, streams and rivers. Open to grades four through 12, River Explorer includes three hands-on stations: 1) Catching, examining and identifying fi sh; 2) Collecting and identifying macroinvertebrates; and 3) River chemistry (grades six through 12) or water use and the water cycle (grades four and fi ve). All but the youngest students also take part in habitat assessments as part of their day, and ORF educators touch on issues such as water pollution and environmental stewardship with all students. The River Explorer program is off ered in September, October, April and May. Greater Cincinnati fi eld trips take place at Nisbet Park and Lake Isabella Park in Loveland; Sycamore Park in Batavia; Sharon Woods Park in Sharonville; Pioneer Park in Covington; and Guilford Covered Bridge Park in Guildford, Indiana. Columbus programs are at Highbanks Park and Friendship Park. Registration for fall River Explorer fi eld trips is open through Aug. 15 via the program’s web page. Support for the MIC and River Explorer and programs is provided by the Charles Dater Foundation, Elsa Heisel Sule Foundation, Duke Energy Foundation, Ashland, Inc., Valvoline, PNC Charitable Trusts and Honda Manufacturing. Ohio River Foundation (ORF) is dedicated to protecting and improving the water quality and ecology of the Ohio River and all waters in its 11-state watershed. ORF works towards these goals through environmental education and conservation activities that serve to inspire environmental stewardship for the benefi t and enjoyment of current and future citizens. In 2020, ORF celebrates its 20th anniversary of Ohio River watershed work. During its history, the nonprofi t has reached 50,000 students with its freshwater education programs; restored and reconnected more than 200 miles of rivers; removed four dams; planted 6,000 trees; and removed more than 300,000 invasive plants.

in 3-point shooting at 44%, and led the conference in free throw shooting at 96%. “Blake’s toughness, grit, and desire to outwork others separates him from many high school athletes,” Taylor said. “Both our basketball and football team have benefi ted greatly from Blake’s leadership and maturity. Blake will be missed at CHCA. Mt St. Joe is getting a terrifi c young man and player!” Taylor McCracken of Morrow signed with Ohio Wesleyan in Delaware to play soccer. McCracken was a four-year varsity letter winner, rookie of the year her freshman year, four-year starter, team captain her senior year, and 1st Team MVC. Over fouryears, she accumulated six goals and nine assists. She was a versatile player who played almost every position on fi eld, including keeper. “Taylor has been a pleasure to have as a player,” CHCA Varsity Girls Soccer Coach Heather Vibberts said. “She was in my fi rst freshmen class and made an immediate impact. Taylor has proven to be the player we depended on to shut down players and did a great job taking that defensive presence and creating countless off ensive opportunities over the last four years. She has worked tirelessly to achieve her goal of playing college soccer. It has been a pleasure to watch Taylor’s journey and to see all her hard work come to fruition is exciting. I am so proud and excited for her!” Jessica Schaad of Blue Ash signed with University of Northwestern Ohio in Lima to play volleyball. “Jessica’s presence made an impact in CHCA volleyball with her determination and gritty court culture,” shared CHCA Varsity Volleyball Coach, Lisa Schaad. “Because of this, her absence will be missed, but her legacy will live on in the teammates she walked alongside with.” Jack Sonne of Maineville signed with Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh to play golf. Sonne is a four-year old varsity golfer and qualifi ed for the state golf championship the past two years. He fi nished in sixth place his junior year, being named 2nd Team AllOhio. During his senior year, Sonne fi nished in fi fth place and was named 1st Team All-Ohio. “We are thrilled to see our student athletes have the opportunity to sign to continue their academic and athletic career at their chosen college,” Taylor said. “I’m confi dent that Blake, Cole, Jack, Jessica, and Taylor will do great things at the next level while representing themselves, their family, and CHCA. They will be greatly missed at CHCA.” Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy’s Upper School is Cincinnati’s only Christ-centered six-year college preparatory school . t 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.

American Legion NE Post 630: ‘Operation Give-Back’ Blue Ash American Legion NE Post 630’s main source of funds to support veterans and community activities comes from partnering with local businesses, such as restaurants. Each month, Post 630 tries to partner with local restaurants for a fundraiser. Because of the diﬃ culties that local

restaurants and their employees are experiencing because of the Coronavirus, post members decided it was time to enact “Operation Give-Back.” The purpose of “Operation Give-Back” is to help those business and their employees that support Post 630. One of the strongest and longest supporters of Post 630 and its veterans is the Blue Ash City Barbeque Restaurant. City BBQ has received numerous Certificates of Appreciation from Post 630 through the years. Post 630 Members decided that the local restaurants and their employees needed its support. During the recent Post Fundraiser at Blue Ash City BBQ, the fundraiser raised over $500.00. Post 630 donated the fundraiser monies back to 22 employees of City BBQ through its Manager Steve Fritz. Twenty-two envelops were presented to +. Fritz to be given to the employees as a showing of Post 630’s appreciation for all the work that the employees have done and what City BBQ has done for Post 630 through the years.

Two other great restaurant supporters of American Legion NE Post 630 with Fundraisers are the Blue Ash Skyline Chili Restaurant on Cornell Road in Blue Ash and the Through the Garden Restauranton Kenwood Road in Blue Ash. Post 630 donated all of its fundraiser earnings from these two ﬁ ne restaurants back to it and its employees as well. Post 630 seeks your help with local restaurant fundraisers. Post 630’s goal is to help local business to become even more successful while raising funds to support the Post and its Veterans and the Local Community. If you desire more information, so you can participate in the fundraisers, please contact Joe Rettig at 513-8917244 or email him at jrettig@cinci.rr.com. Post 630 is looking for additional local restaurants who wish to participate in its fundraisers. Joe Rettig, American Legion NE Post 630 - Blue Ash
