Sycamore bonds would replace or renovate four schools Jeanne Houck

Once each family was settled with their unopened envelope, Johns began to explain what was inside: a check, for either $100, $250 or $500, with the “pay to the order of ” line left blank. This year the initiative would be called God’s Grace, YOUR Hands, Johns told them. Each family was to decide how to “use this money to bless the world.” The checks were designated by luck in a blind draw, church authorities said. A total of $60,000 was distributed.

The Sycamore Community School District will ask voters Nov. 5 to approve a 4-mill bond issue to fund a $127.5 million building program that would replace two schools and renovate two more. It also would provide more room for early-childhood off erings and partially fund the replacement of Sycamore Stadium. If the 30-year bond issue is approved, it would cost homeowners an additional $84 a year per $100,000 of their houses’ market value beginning in January, said Mallory Bonbright, communications offi cer for the Sycamore Community Schools. “While the ballot language indicates the issue is a 4-mill increase, Sycamore Schools will utilize wraparound debt structuring to reduce the amount collected to 2.4 mills over the amount currently paid until prior bond issues approved in 1998 and 2010 expire,” Bonbright said. “Once the outstanding bonds are paid off , the millage would remain at not more than 4 for the remainder of the 30-year term.” Board of Education President Paul Balent said that, “Although our school buildings have been well maintained, it is no longer fi nancially responsible to invest taxpayer money in aged and low-effi cient buildings that do not support the educational and instructional needs of current and future generations of students. “Now is the time to address our facility needs with interest rates at historic low levels. Ignoring or postponing will cost our community signifi cantly more as construction costs continue to

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church gives $60,000 to congregation members, ‘no strings attached’ Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church member Katie Zink sat up in the balcony with most of the tween-age kids as usual the day the “big announcement” was revealed. Church staﬀ had kept their secret since June. Even Zink’s husband, who is on the staﬀ , would not tell her what the excitement was about. Senior Pastor Heidi Johns began by asking one member from each family to come up and grab an envelope. “As soon as [Johns] said that, and I

think within 10 seconds, there were the kids from each family running forward, ready to get their envelope,” Zink said. “And I think it’s cool because kids sometimes show what we’re feeling inside, because they don’t have the inhibition.” Some members of the Kenwood church had shown up in the yellow tshirts that Good Shepherd hands out once a year for their God’s Work, Our Hands initiative, which usually takes place in the fall. They thought maybe the announcement would have to do with a service project. They weren’t totally wrong – but the work was not going to be done that day.

Loveland strategic plan would add parking, a quiet zone and more housing and business Laura A. Hobson

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Loveland, a scenic suburb northeast of Cincinnati, doesn’t need an overhaul, but smart, strategic interventions and capitalizations on key opportunities taken incrementally will result in a more vital city of approximately 13,000 residents. A city of 5.2 square miles, Loveland grew around the railroad and the Little Miami River. Plans for the future emphasize increased parking and less traﬃ c according to Loveland City Manager David

Kennedy. Issues relating to parking are due to the Little Miami Bike Trail, commercial development and residential development. The city has implemented timed parking, however, new parking locations and lots are under consideration. The total number of new parking spots this year is 330, in an area behind City Hall, added to the current 608, increasing parking by 50%. Traﬃ c from West Loveland through downtown often backs up. Bikers look for a parking place so they can use the See LOVELAND, Page 2A

bike trail. The city welcomes bikers as they contribute to the heart of the community by patronizing the businesses. “The marriage is important,” said Kennedy. Loveland has a quaint, small town feel – even college atmosphere - according to Kennedy. To millennials who want a suburban lifestyle and retirees who want to stay in the city, Loveland off ers a safe and attractive home. Loveland amenities are many, from Paxton’s Grill, a popular lunch and dinner spot, the only Graeter’s in Clermont County, Loveland Castle Museum and Nisbet Park in addition to the bike trail. Average age is 39.6 as of 2018 and projected to grow to 41.0 by 2023. Median household income is approximately $70,469. A Downtown Strategic Development Plan prepared by YARD & Company, an urban growth fi rm, took into consideration resident surveys as well as opinions from city offi cials. It includes a tenyear vision, fi ve-year investment strategy and a 36-month demand and supply work plan. The complete plan was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission and approved on August 20. Kennedy anticipates City Council will approve it in September. McBride Dale Clarion and TEC Engineering also provided plan input.

“My daughter’s face just lit up,” Zink said. “She couldn’t believe that we were getting this gift, and as a family, we’re going to get to decide what to do with it.” The only requirement? A deadline of Oct. 20. “It was very exciting,” church member David Dietrichson agreed. “The facial expressions were just wheels turning all over the place. And they’re still turning.”

Highlights include more parking spaces, a quiet zone by the railroad tracks, and additional businesses and housing units. One of the city’s plans is to include hospitality off ered by hotel accommodations. At present, only Bishop Quarter’s off ers four rooms as an AirBnB. Gina Williams, owner/operator of Tano’s Hospitality Group since 2010, said a fi re in 2017 forced Williams to rebuild with the help of the community and fi nancial assistance from the city. A resident of Miami Township, however, Williams feels a responsibility to Loveland. She serves on the Action Committee, the Loveland Legacy Foundation and the Care Center Advisory Board. Months of research and community meetings prefaced the report. The plan includes trailside development, the landing, riverfront development and

Loveland City Hall redevelopment. The fi rst 36 months lay the groundwork for growth. The work plan features the creation of a Downtown Loveland, Inc., development of downtown design guidelines, working with Google and Waze to reroute through traffi c, development of a free secure trail, a bicycle valet service, implementation of a parking management system, development of a Loveland Smart City Strategy and building of O’Bannon Creek Swimming Hole. Years three to fi ve investments shape bolder initiatives. Key features are building a new West Loveland Ave., creating a green next to Jack Rabbit, opening a boutique hotel, opening a breakfast diner, improving Karl Brown Way, working on riverfront development and Eads redevelopment. Years fi ve to ten and beyond are informed infrastructure change. They include an extension of Railroad Ave to Broadway Street, and a reconfi gured intersection at Broadway, state Route 48 and Second Street.

God’s gift of grace. “We really are stewarding our whole lives and all of our money all of the time. But we don’t always think that way,” she said. “But to hand someone some money and to say ‘Okay, this truly is a gift. Now what are you going to do with it?’ and does that then translate over to ‘Oh yeah, all of my life is a gift from God. Every breath I take. Every dollar in my checking account is because God has gifted me to do a work.’”

Continued from Page 2A

It’s because of Grassman that 250 families are able to contribute to the God’s Grace, YOUR Hands program. “It felt so unmerited,” associate pastor Alex Hoops said. “What does it mean to receive something like this? Out of a generous heart knowing that the mission here is pure? It’s to bless our neighbors, it’s to help heal the world.” Church council president Tracey Long says that she hopes the gift will enable a movement that reaches an even bigger platform. “I think we’re planting seeds of faith and service that will go far beyond this check,” she said. Church members are encouraged to add their own money to multiply the gift, to talk as a family and to pray to ﬁ nd out where the money should go. “What’s the thing that lights a ﬁ re in you? That moves you to compassion and grace?” Hoops asks the congregation. “Because this gift isn’t about you earning it. It’s about recognizing that that’s how God works. God loves people, and so do we.”

’Jesus was broke’

Where is the $60,000 going? Hoops’ 4-year-old son wants to help dogs. When the suggestion arose, his daughter chimed in. “Oh, yeah,” she said. “Cats, too.” Hoops said he wouldn’t have thought about using the money to help animals. But his kids have identiﬁ ed needs that adults in his family don’t always think about, he said. That new perspective is what the whole project is about. Hoops said he’s learning where the “heart of the church is” by seeing where members are putting their money. “When you talk about the corporate church, a lot of times it’s a lot of adults making decisions,” says director of faith

formation Jen Jarman. “And so this puts that decision in the hands of families and kids. And when you can demonstrate to kids ‘we trust you, we believe in you, we love you, and this is what faith looks like,’ that is where future fruit of the church is.” Jarman has a three kids aged 3, 6 and 9.

“Never once have our kids said, ‘we don’t want to do this,’” she said. Her children discuss the gift with their church friends. They want to fi nd out what everyone is doing with the money. And the signifi cance of this money is something that they can see and understand, Jarman said. It’s tangible. “When pastor Heidi stands up front and says, ‘Hey guys, we raised $19,000 for Habitat,’ that goes over [their heads,]” Jarman said. “I think this is just such a life giving opportunity for families to really practice faith. I can only speak for our family, but we are talking about it at the dinner table and when we do our evening prayers.” Some people are using the money to help Cincinnati’s ALS community. Some funds are helping people aff ected by Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas. One family created “smile bags” fi lled with books and toys that their children have passed out to kids in need. However the funds are used, Johns says the message is clear. These acts of kindness are a symbol of stewarding

Paid for by Citizens for Loveland City Schools

Director of campus ministries Alice Connor took some of the leftover checks to a church group she runs at the University of Cincinnati. She says her students’ eyes grew big when they heard the news. “I mean, they’re college students,” Connor laughed. “One of them was like, ‘so I have a $500 check? What do I do with this?’” Most college kids don’t have the money to give, Connor explained. Some of the students played hot potato with the checks, not wanting that responsibility. But it really should be considered a “happy burden,” as Johns and Hoops say. The same attitude could be seen in some of the younger, newer families in the congregation. Many families just don’t have the chance to be generous in this way, Hoops said. But that shouldn’t matter. Dollar amounts aren’t the lesson here. “The ideal here is not about how much you give,” Hoops said. “The ideal is how are you being like Jesus in the world? Which– that guy was broke. Jesus was broke.”

Patricia Mann Smitson ‘wired’ to give back Now, Smitson is working to make ways for other young women to ﬁ nd their places in the world of volunteerism. Throughout her life, it was other people she saw giving back in the community that always inspired her to work for the greater good, too. So, she’s trying to pass on that love of giving back to the next generation. “What are you interested in?” she asks young people. “That’s where it starts. There’s no real excuse.”

Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: This article is part of the Enquirer’s 2019 Women of the Year celebration, which honors women for making a diff erence in the community. When Patricia Mann Smitson talks about the American Red Cross, her eyes light up. Her smile grows wider, her voice drawls a bit slower and her story turns into a list of people whose lives have been touched by her leadership. To Smitson, that list works in reverse. Those people have touched her life as well, and they are the reason she continues to sit on fi ve community boards more than a year into retirement. “My husband calls it my third act,” she laughs. “We think it’s my best act.” In her fi rst act, Smitson was a young attorney at Thompson Hine LLP. In conversations with other women in the offi ce, Smitson began to lightly tap on a glass ceiling that would soon shatter completely. “We realized: Yes, women were here, but we weren’t in leadership roles,” she said. One day, when the managing partner from Cleveland was in town to check in, Smitson decided to bring that conversation to new heights. “‘I love the fi rm, I love my practice, but there are no women in leadership here,’” she told him. “‘What’s going on?’” Soon after, Smitson was voted onto the Thompson Hine Executive Committee. She was the fi rst woman to do so at the 100-year old company. Smitson laughs when she says, “The fi rst woman to ...” because it’s happened more than once. Those who know Smitson aren’t surprised by this repetitive title; her persistence and dedication shows in every project she takes on – especially when it comes to her volunteer work. “Something about how she’s wired,”

said Delores Hargrove-Young, who met Smitson over 25 years ago volunteering at the YWCA. “She wants to give back to the community. It’s a part of her DNA.” Smitson does not see volunteerism as her career. It’s more than that. “I think that’s the key to really enjoying volunteer work and community service: really throwing yourself into it,” she said. “I always really did that and then took on leadership roles, and that makes all the diﬀ erence in both your enjoyment of it and also the impact you can make.” She says her volunteer work is what has given her life meaning. It gave her perspective.

Smitson talks about balance – a lot of people, she thinks, talk about balance, especially when it comes to women and their careers. Part of that balance for Smitson was taking time for herself away from work and family. The time that she took for herself, she said, was the time that she spent giving back. “I was so happy that I had that opportunity, and still have that opportunity, to do something other than go to the oﬃ ce, have a very good career – which I’ve been blessed to have – and then the responsibilities of family,” she said. “So it just was a dimension to my life that was diﬀ erent and so meaningful.”

Microwave nut brittle 1000 watts and up Mine was cooked in a 1250 watt microwave. This recipe is for microwaves 1000 to 1250 watts. Ingredients ⁄ 2 cup light corn syrup

1 cup sugar 1 to -1⁄ 2 cups salted nuts 2 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon vanilla ⁄ 8 teaspoon cayenne powder (opt)

1 teaspoon baking soda Instructions Line baking sheet with foil and spray. In a 2 quart measuring cup or bowl, stir in corn syrup and sugar. Microwave high 2 minutes. Stir in nuts. Microwave high 2 minutes or until light golden.

Spicy (or not) Stovetop Nut Brittle

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

All I had on hand were peanuts. Any nut works. If you have a candy thermometer, clip it onto the pan before cooking.

After my presentation at a t women’s conference, a participant asked if I could help with a nut brittle recipe. “I had a slightly spicy pine nut brittle in New Mexico and would like to make it but with regular nuts,” she said. Now I’ve made brittles on top of the stove and in the microwave, and since the lady didn’t specify, I’m sharing both. All I had to do on the stovetop version is add cayenne to a classic recipe. It cooked up darker than the microwave version. If you use the microwave, note that the timing may be a bit diﬀ erent from what’s speciﬁ ed depending upon wattage. That’s why I’m giving you detailed instructions. Brittles keep up to a month, covered at room temperature.

Stir in baking soda (mixture will look opaque), pour onto sheet, spread thin, let harden, break into pieces.

In a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, stir butter, sugar, salt and corn syrup until smooth and bubbly all over. Cover and cook 1 minute. This starts the brittle process.

Ingredients

Microwaves 700 to 950 watts

1 to11⁄ 2cups salted nuts

Stir in vanilla, cayenne and nuts. Raise heat to medium high and, stirring constantly, cook until syrup is dark golden, like the color of caramels. This takes about 5 minutes and is called hard crack stage, 300 degrees. Check by dropping a bit in of ice water. If it’s at hard crack, the syrup will immediately become a brittle thread. (See photo on my site.) If it doesn’t, cook a bit longer. During the last couple of minutes it gets dark fairly quick.

Instructions

Pour onto sheet, spread thin.

Line baking sheet with foil and spray.

Let harden, break into pieces.

⁄ 4 cup butter

⁄ 2 cup sugar

Viewpoints Here are some facts to make an informed decision Dale Friemoth Guest Columnist Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK

Yes, you need to gather the facts to make an informed decision. After gathering and evaluating these facts in a Q&A format, I am voting “no” on the Loveland City School District (LCSD) Levy on the Nov. 5 ballot.

Question 1: Will the Levy last for three years or is it “permanent?” ❚ The levy has three sections totaling 16.78 mills: 1. 6.42 mills: Bonds for land purchase, construction bond, and improving sites – 37 years. 2. 3.41 mills: Funds for permanent improvements – permanent. 3. 6.95 mills: $6.1M/yr funds to pay operating expenses – permanent. (45% increase over $4.2M/yr 2014 Levy)

Question 2: Does this increase our current LCSD taxes? ❚ Yes, a 42% increase in school taxes. ❚ Additional $49/mo ($587.30/yr) for every $100,000 of appraised value. $250,000 home = $1,468/yr increase.

Question 3: Will the Board purchase the Grailville land if the levy issue fails? ❚ The LCSD has already paid a $100,000.00 non-refundable deposit. ❚ Art Jarvis, President – Loveland Board of Education states: “The board will purchase the GV (Grailville) property if the levy fails.” ❚ Although not formally approved by the Board, the plan would be to pay for the $70,000 per acre ($7,700,000 total) purchase using the existing Permanent Improvement Levy approved to maintain existing buildings. ❚ Use these funds instead of “diverting funds to pay for temporary solutions such as trailers for classroom space.” ❚ Use these funds so LSD won’t need “to continue to defer important safety and security upgrades” (isn’t the safety of our kids number one? Inexcusable). ❚ Use these funds instead of “diverting funds from the classrooms so that we can make critical ﬁ xes in our schools.”

Question 4: Has the BOE and management held down Operating Expenses (OE) to reduce the impact on taxpayers? ❚ Since the last OE Levy in 2014, the LCSD’s Operating Expenditures increased from $43,225, 390 to $55,568,450 for 2019E, or 5% com-

LCSD operating expenses increased 3x inﬂ ation. ❚ Cost/Pupil went from $8,600 in 2014 to $10,689 in 2019 ($968/pupil higher than state average).

(2007-8 to 2017-18) ❚ “Past performance is not indicative of future results” but no one has presented any evidence supporting future headcount growth.

Question 5: If the Levy fails, won’t the LCSD be in a ﬁ nancial crisis?

❚ Yes, The LCSD plans include ~$10M in athletic upgrades and $22.5M for a new performing arts building or 20% of the total $165M “ask.” Sources: Question 1 and 2: Oﬃ cial ballot language and LCSD website. Question 3: LCSD contract to purchase The Grail land and 26-August-2019 email to Loveland resident. Question 4: Ohio Department of Education Score Card and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Question 5: 6October-2019 letter to Loveland resident. Question 6: Ohio Department of Education Score Card. Question 7: LCSD breakout of planned cost for implementing “Build Tiger Nation.” Dale Friemoth is a retired father of ﬁ ve and a resident of Loveland since 1990

❚ No, LCSD will have funds required to operate through the end of ﬁ scal 2021. ❚ Multiple opportunities to put a reasonable Levy on the ballot, this is not a crisis.

Question 6: There has been extensive growth in housing and rental properties within the LSD the past 10+ years, have we seen this same growth in Loveland students attending our schools? ❚ LCSD total enrolment decreased 4,566 to 4,462 in the past 10 years

Question 7: Does the Levy fund updated and new Athletic & Extracurricular Facilities?

Our community, our schools Dr. Gregg Tracy Guest Columnist Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK

I have yet to meet the person who wants to pay more taxes. A major issue with most taxes is that when we pay them we frequently do not know how they’re going to be spent. That is not the case with school levies and bond issues that by law must be spent for the purposes as stated. Therefore, the tax initiative headed to the ballot in the Loveland City School District must also follow those rules. Thus, we know how the money will be spent and that it will be used to beneﬁ t the current and future students of the Loveland City School district. Investments into our schools are laden with value since they have a direct, positive impact on the future of our students,

families, community, and society. What we cannot forget is that support for our schools will also contribute to the success of our growing, vibrant, and prosperous community. Financial support is not only an investment in our children’s future and a ﬂ ourishing community, but great schools serve to increase the value of our properties as well. An investment in our schools is certainly an investment in the future of our nation. As a Loveland citizen, property owner, and Loveland High School graduate, I look to our school leadership team to put together a tax package that is the most economical, reasonable, and feasible, but does not compromise excellence in providing for our students’ and community’s future. Join me in voting “yes” to fund the current and future operation and building needs of the Loveland City School District.

Mariemont players visited injured Finneytown quarterback Drew Finch in the hospital on Oct. 13, two days after the junior broke his leg in the ﬁ rst quarter of their football game. THANKS TO AMY CATANZARO

Mariemont shows support to injured Finneytown QB Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Finneytown quarterback Drew Finch had run the play a hundred times. A shotgun pass play from a four-receiver, single-back formation with the slot wide-out running a double move along the sideline. Against Mariemont Oct. 11, Finneytown called that play to help the oﬀ ense recover from a 14-point hole near the end of the ﬁ rst quarter. Finch, a junior, rolled to his right and lofted a deep pass to Ryan Sinkham, which fell incomplete. After seeing the

ball fall harmlessly to the turf, collective eyes turned back to the line of scrimmage, where Finch laid in agony. Nothing malicious, just a standard football play. Finch jumped when he threw the ball, then had a Mariemont defender roll up on his leg when he planted. “When I didn’t see him get up, I knew something was seriously wrong because he’s probably one of the toughest kids I’ve coached in 20-plus years,” Finneytown head coach Gerald Warmack said. “I sprinted to him to see if he was OK, and then when you see the injury, you realize he’s not coming back.”

The injury was a compound fracture in Finch’s left leg — bone had pierced through his skin, making for a graphic scene for training staﬀ and teammates. “Thankfully I didn’t see it and Drew didn’t see it, but they knew what it was, which is why he needed to go to the hospital right away,” Finch’s mother, Amy Catanzaro said. “When I got to him he was concerned about keeping me calm, telling me, ‘I’m OK, I’m OK.’ Someone told me it was broken and they pulled the squad on the ﬁ eld.” See FINCH, Page 2B

There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. Ask the Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy (CHCA) football team. Coming off a lopsided Week 8 road loss at Roger Bacon High School, the Eagles returned home for senior night and handed previously unbeaten Summit County Day (SCD) its fi rst loss of the season, 47-20. “We used that anger on the bus ride back last week as the fuel,” said senior quarterback Cole Fisher. “It carried right through the week and into tonight. It was good to get that out.” Fisher fi nished the night with more than 300 yards of total off ense, running for 159 yards and three scores on See CHCA, Page 2B

Moeller wins district title in OT against Mason Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

LIBERTY TOWNSHIP - The top two Southwest District boys soccer seeds spent a soggy Saturday night at Lakota East High School. The battle of Greater Catholic League-South vs. Greater Miami Conference juggernauts was settled a little over four minutes into overtime when Kade Tepe followed his shot to give Moeller High School a 2-1 victory over Mason. An off side call was briefl y considered, but after a consultation of offi cials, the goal was ruled good and Moeller was a district champion. "It was a battle out there," Tepe said. "All I know was the ball was coming in and I just followed my shot like coach has been preaching all week. The off sides call, I was so nervous. I listened to the referees talk it over and it was a goal." Mason's goal was the fi rst the Crusaders have allowed in the postseason. They have outscored their opponents 24-1. Moeller ended Mason's season a year ago, 2-0. "This was a game we thought should have been a regional fi nal," Moeller coach Mike Welker said. "They're a great team. It was not the best of conditions. There's a lot of great soccer players on

this fi eld that were less than great because of the conditions. Awesome game, hats off to them. They're a fantastic team." After the opening 15 minutes, Mason goalie Shahruz Bazarov had made a couple of nice saves to keep the Crusaders off the board. But, with 24:30 remain-

ing, Hogan Daley connected for just his second goal of the season. As the rain came blowing in sideways at times, Moeller held the 1-0 halftime advantage. After a relatively quiet opening 10 minutes of the second half, the sky opened up even more.

Mason senior Ben Damge was able to slip a long shot by Moeller goalie Cal Collins. It was the ﬁ rst goal he had allowed in 15 days and six games and just the second in the month of October. Twice under the 10-minute mark, Moeller had shots hit the crossbar as the piping and Bazarov kept the Crusaders at bay and the game went to overtime. Roughly four minutes into the extra period, Moeller's Tepe tapped in the game-winner resulting in a victorious rendition of the school alma mater in front of their rain-soaked fans watching from the slick aluminum bleachers. "It was the little things that manifested into big opportunities for the team that was working the hardest," Mason coach Mike Combs said. "I felt like we were in a good place going into overtime. Unfortunately, Moeller made a good play at the end." Moeller now takes on St. Xavier Wednesday, Oct. 30, in the regional semiﬁ nals at 7 p.m at Lebanon High School. They have defeated the Bombers 2-1 and 1-0 already this season. "They say you can't beat a team three times in a year, so we've got that going against us," Welker said. "They're an awesome team. I think they've lost to us twice and Mason once. They're a great team and they're battle-tested and they'll be ready to go as well."

While the on-site ambulance strapped Finch on a stretcher, the team was shaken up seeing its leader go down. “This is a close-knit group, probably one of the closest I’ve had in a long time,” Warmack said. “They were obviously aff ected by the injury. A lot of guys crying and couldn’t believe this happened. It was diffi cult to fi nish the game.” While tears were shed in disbelief, Finch was playing peacekeeper, both to his mother and to backup quarterback Caleb Drain, who he urged to start warming up. “Typical Drew Finch fashion,” Warmack said. “He was only concerned about those guys fi nishing the game and trying to win than his own leg. He’s truly one of the most selfl ess kids you could ever imagine.” While Finch is the type to shy away from being the center of attention, he quickly became it over the weekend. After multiple X-rays came surgery, then a slew of visitors showing their support, even the unlikely ones. Warmack had been in contact with Mariemont head coach Kurry Commins, who was wanting to know if the team was doing better and conveyed that his club was hoping to visit his quarterback. On Sunday, Oct. 13, two days after the injury, multiple members of Mariemont’s football team surprised Finch at Children’s Hospital with a signed card and a care package full of snacks and gift cards. “I had held it together that whole time and hadn’t got upset, but then it all hit me in that moment.” Catanzaro said. “The kid who hit him was there and his mother was, too. I hugged her and she was crying. I hugged the young man and just explained how none of us blamed him and that these things happen. Their kindness and taking the eff ort to see

him and putting the basket together — it was overwhelming.” Warmack added: “I’ve coached against Kurry (Commins) for years. He’s probably one of the classiest guys I’ve ever been around. It really caught me by surprise. In just a matter of 24 hours they had gathered this basket of things to lift his spirits. I thought it was a really classy act.” Finch missed a full week of school, then returned Monday, Oct. 21. Among the visits to his home was senior kicker Ben Brueggemeyer, along with other National Honor Society members, who informed him of his acceptance into the organization. “The entire Finneytown community has been really great,” Catanzaro said. “They’ve been making an eff ort to keep him included and let him know they’re thinking about him. Finneytown, they’re not a big team, but they have so much heart. They are such a great group of kids.” In a month, Finch will start physical therapy. Though he’ll miss swimming season, he should be ready for baseball in the spring and the start of his senior football campaign in the summer. Mariemont’s sincere act of sportsmanship and support splintered the common trope in athletics that rivals share a mutual disdain on and off the fi eld. In the case of these two Cincinnati Hills League foes, the well-being of the player under the helmet was prioritized rather than box-score bragging rights. “We get caught up in the hype and spirit of competition. This just shows that we miss the true picture of it. They won the game, but they were more concerned about the person,” Warmack said. “We miss that in our society because we get caught up in the rivalry aspect. I said this to Kurry and (Mariemont Athletic Director) Tom Nerl about how classy I thought that was. It’s heartwarming to me that I get to compete against a guy who instills that type of empathy for other people on his team. “This is a great lesson that all teams could learn from.”

CHCA Continued from Page 1B

21 carries while throwing for 191 more on 11-for-17 passing. “His athletic ability is only the beginning of what makes him a special player,” said CHCA head coach Eric Taylor of Fisher. “He has a 4.2 GPA. He’s a tremendous leader and teammate. He makes our off ense go, but he’s more than just a quarterback.” Taylor said before the game he hoped his team could get some stops on defense. It didn’t start that way as Summit opened the scoring on its second drive of the game. Senior quarterback Jimmy Stines found the goal line on a 5-yard draw. “They capitalized on one of our mistakes, but our guys didn’t fl inch,” Taylor said. “Our defense played very well from there on. And as we kept putting (points) on, our guys’ confi dence just kept growing.” Indeed, CHCA roared back with 27 unanswered points. Fisher punched in a 2-yard keeper with 4:30 left in the fi rst quarter. After a three-and-out series from the Silver Knights, he scored again from a yard out with 1:53 remaining in the quarter. Eagles junior running back Emmanuel Tait broke an inside handoff to the right side and went 71 yards for a touchdown run on CHCA’s fi rst play from scrimmage in the second quarter, pushing the lead to 20-7. Tait scored again from fi ve yards out to cap a 10-play drive with 6:01 remaining in the half, giving the Eagles a 27-7 cushion. “He’s a heck of a running back,” Fisher said. “I’m very grateful to have him in the backfi eld with me. He made some huge plays tonight.” Tait fi nished with 164 yards and three scores on 20 carries, good for 8.2 yards per carry. Summit junior Graham Nicholson trimmed the lead to 27-10 with a 33-

yard fi eld goal with 25 seconds left in the half. He added a 36-yarder with 30 seconds left in the game. Said Nicholson: “Obviously, everyone is a little down from the loss, but we have to focus on what’s in front of us, bounce back and get ready for the playoff s.” Tait picked up his third score with an 8-yard touchdown run on the fi rst possession of the second half. Fisher got his third TD on a 43-yard keeper for a 40-10 lead with 3:07 to play in the third quarter. Summit added a fourth-quarter score on Stines’ screen pass to sophomore BT Tolble, who bolted 41 yards down the left side for the touchdown. CHCA came right back. Fisher found junior Adam Bauer for a long pass to set up senior Jack Wilkowski’s 3-yard touchdown run with 3:40 left. Summit closes the regular season on Friday, Nov. 1 at Roger Bacon with a chance to force a three-way tie in the Miami Valley Conference Scarlet Division. (The 7-1 Spartans were the presumptive favorite going into their Week 9 contest against winless Norwood.) CHCA travels to Dayton Meadowdale on Nov. 1. “We had to respond after a tough loss last week, and we did,” Taylor said. “Now we can control what we can control. We just have to keep moving forward.” Said Fisher: “It’s a motivation thing. We should be a lock for the (Division V) playoff s now. You never know when it’s going to be your last play, so we’re looking at everything like it’s the playoff s now. Win and you get to keep playing.

The Karama Connection was founded by Cincinnati native Connie Naber, who visited the East African country of Tanzania back in 2005 and returned determined to stay connected. She saw fi rsthand how poverty and across Africa had left so many children without parents due the overwhelming fi nancial burden placed on society in caring for these children. Upon returning she created a nonprofi t organization known as The Karama Connection to help a group of orphaned and abandoned children, and assure that they were well-cared for, fed and properly educated. Today, Naber is the proud, adoptive mother of 15 children who reside in a house with a live-in local staff that Con-

nie rents in Arusha, Tanzania. Through her foundation, the children have a home, healthy food, education, medical support, caregivers and loads of love. The current group of kids range from ﬁ ve to eighteen years old. Connie visits twice a year and often brings along some volunteers. When she’s not physically in Arusha she’s often checking in via Skype from her home in Cincinnati — asking about chores, homework, visits to the clinic, and who’s eaten their vegetables. The kids are thriving and the stigma is fading away. When Dr. Jon Mendelsohn, Medical Director of Advanced Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center met Connie Naber in 2015, he knew that he wanted to get involved. On June 21, 2016 Mendelsohn, his wife and two teenaged children, traveled to the East African country of Tanzania to meet Connie’s children.

The 17th Annual Books & Brunch raised approximately $35,000 through 200 attendees as well as sponsor support Thursday at Kenwood Country Club. The funds are used by Assistance League of Greater Cincinnati to help women and children in need with clothing and household items. Local authors, including Jessica Strawser, 2019 Writer in Residence for the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, spoke and signed books at the event. Strawser authored three novels set in and around Cincinnati. Her 2018 bestseller, Not That I Could Tell, was a Book of the Month selection praised for its deft handling of the ripple eﬀ ects of domestic violence. Strawser had previously been honored with a YWCA of Greater Cincinnati Volunteer Service Award for her work on domestic violence awareness, after losing a close friend. Children’s author Michelle Houts and young adult author Kerrie Hollihan also spoke at the event. The Bookshelf in Madeira provided attendees the opportunity to purchase books, contributing 20 percent of sales toward the fundraiser. For 21 years, Assistance League of Greater Cincinnati volunteers have served the unmet needs of adults and children in the community. The all-volunteer organization provides clothing and supplies to those in need by working closely with greater Cincinnati public and parochial schools, colleges, hospitals and women’s shelters. Operation School Bell is one of Assistance League’s biggest initiatives, providing school uniforms to 29,500 local students since 1998. Sara Cullin, Assistance League of Greater Cincinnati

Team Mendelsohn came armed with medical supplies, art projects, t-shirts and other learning materials for the children and were greeted with open arms and lots of hugs and love by both the children and staff . While in Tanzania, Dr. Mendelsohn performed a successful surgical procedure on the lip of a boy named Muksin who is 15 years old. He was assisted by his wife and daughter, as well as one of the children named Cecelia who has aspirations of becoming a physician one day. Mendelsohn also brought along a pair of green surgical scrubs for each of the children to wear so that they could all show their support for Muksin and the surgical team that day. In addition to the donation via the launch party, Dr. Mendelsohn has continued to support Connie and the Karama Connection through various fundraising events, including the sale of the framed prints in his offi ce that he took while in Africa.

gravity, atmospheric pressure, determining a star’s composition and other universe-related concepts. St. Margaret of York School’s Parent Teacher Organization funds a variety of unique educational opportunities throughout the academic year. The Catholic grade school is visited by COSI annually. “This is a brand new program,” said COSI on Wheels educator Katie Trausch. “It’s nice for students to see new themes because this should be content they haven’t experienced before.” One hands-on learning station caught the interest of Lanie Farrell and Luke Schuckman. The fourth grade classmates completed a complex activity that involved using the night sky for navigation. “We had to work together to solve the puzzle… you are engaged in your own leaning,” observed Farrell. Stations included creating rover designs, examining telescopes and additional topics. “It (COSI on Wheels) encourages students to want to learn and get excited for the science program,” added Schuckman. The goal of COSI on Wheels is to increase science literacy and science education in Central Ohio and surrounding areas. The program is based out of the interactive Center of Science and Industry in Columbus. Lisa Galvin-Sang, St. Margaret of York School

Madeira High School National Honor Society inductees Madeira High School (MHS) recently held its annual induction for the new members of the MHS Olive M. Gregory Chapter of the National Honor Society.

Pictured are NHS officers for the 2019-2020 school year: Eva Fischer (Service Chair), Corinne Torborg (Vice President), Nathan Huber (President), Payton Oliver (Secretary), Elizabeth Bellayuto (Event Chair). PROVIDED

The juniors and seniors pledged to create enthusiasm for scholarship, stimulate a desire to render service, promote leadership, and develop character in the students of the district’s secondary schools. Founded in 1921, the National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize high school students who have demonstrated excellence in the organization’s four pillars; Scholarship, Leadership, Service and Character. Madeira’s members must attend monthly meetings, pay dues, and attend one or more chapter service projects a year. They are also required to complete 10 hours of community service a year, in addition to the 40 hours total required by the district for graduation. Last year Madeira’s National Honor Society adopted 16 families for the holi-

days using proceeds from their annual Father Daughter Dance. They also sponsored the school’s Winter Homecoming dance with the net proceeds beneﬁ ting the Pink Ribbon Girls to support a science teacher at MHS. In the spring the club cleaned up the Tess Blackwelder Butterﬂ y Garden located at Madeira Elementary School. Members vote annually on an Honorary Faculty Member that they feel also exhibits the four pillars of the National Honor Society. This year the students selected MHS teacher Abby Seelmeyer, who was inducted with the new student members. New inductees are: Hannah Golden, Sophia Gugino, Haley Hartung, Trevor Harris, Nil Kocaoglu, Max Schmitz, Sam See SCHOOL NEWS, Page 8B

Detective Anthony Pecord speaks to Woman’s Club Det. Anthony Pecord of the Loveland Police Department was the guest speaker at the Loveland Woman’s club meeting Oct. 8. He spoke about the many scams that are occurring lately and that senior citizens are a prime target. He reminded the attendees that if an oﬀ er seems “too good to be true, it probably is!” He also told the group that the number that shows up on your phone, may not be the actual number of the caller Pecord and that it could be from anywhere in the world. Det. Pecord also advised the group that if they are selling or buying anything from websites that involve a money transaction, to choose a public place i.e. the community center or the police department for the transaction. Hostesses for the meeting were May Ellen Camele and Gloria Wilson and the raﬄ e basket earned $117 which will go toward the scholarships the club awards in the spring to high school graduates.

Complete analysis, options regarding District facility needs presented to Indian Hill Board of Education After a year of extensive review, research, and analyses, the Indian Hill School District’s community-based Fa-

cilities Steering Committee presented the Board of Education with four options to address needs for school facilities within the Indian Hill School District. The Facilities Steering Committee, a subcommittee of the overarching Facilities Assessment Task Force that began in September of 2018, convened regularly through the end of September 2019 to develop the detailed analysis of capital needs at all District school buildings and facilities. The committee chairs presented ﬁ ndings on behalf of the full committee, and agreed and noted that of most critical concern are the needs facing Indian Hill Middle School. In all options presented, the committee recommended replacing Indian Hill Middle School. Additionally, the committee noted that critical needs do not end there, and that the District has done a good job of holding oﬀ the need until now through excellent maintenance and upkeep. Following the Oct. 15 presentation, Board of Education members took the Facilities Steering Committee recommendations into consideration. Additionally, Treasurer Mick Davis has convened a Finance Committee to review school funding processes and capital/

operating funding options. The Finance Committee is now tasked with placing millage amounts to the facilities options and pairing them with the District’s needs on the operating side. The District’s last voter-approved operating issue was passed more than 25 years ago, and the District is approaching on a need for additional dollars. Heather Higdon, Indian Hill School District

Erik Agard, 26, is a professional crossword constructor and editor, now working for Andrews McMeel Universal syndicate in Kansas City, Mo. His last Sunday puzzle was ‘‘Stoner’s Film Festival’’ in June. He says the idea for this one came from rewatching ‘‘Black Panther’’ recently (referenced at 87-Across). This is Erik’s 17th crossword for The Times this year, and altogether his sixth one with a movie theme. — W.S.
