Lockland man receives temporary stay of deportation Advocates say he is at risk of enslavement, torture or death if deported to Mauritania Mark Curnutte Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Board of Immigration Appeals late Friday granted a stay of deportation to a Lockland man, even as immigration officials were preparing him for a chartered flight to his native Mauritania, a known slave state.

Amadou Sow, who has lived and worked legally on supervised release for almost 30 years – the past 20 consecutively in a Lebanon, Ohio, factory – now awaits a second appeals board decision on whether to reopen his case and allow him to reapply for asylum.

"A win for the good guys," said Alex Lubans-Otto, Sow's Florence, Kentucky-based attorney. "A small win, but a good one."

Sow's wife and five U.S.-citizen children followed his movements as close-

ly as possible, receiving pieces of information from Lubans-Otto or from Sow directly.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) flew him Thursday to Louisiana from Morrow County, north of Columbus, where he had been in custody since Aug. 20, when he drove to Columbus for an ICE check-in appointment and was arrested.

"The risk of his deportation has been greatly diminished for now," said Sow's 23-year-old daughter, Awa Harouna.

Sow's family, friends and attorney have been on edge since Dec. 28, when ICE sent Sow a letter in prison saying it planned to deport him.

On Friday, ICE officials in Louisiana prepared Sow and other Mauritanians, including a Columbus, Ohio, man who also is a client of Lubans-Otto, for a flight to Arizona. From there, the next stop would have been Mauritania.

"They were in the staging area," Lubans-Otto said.

She said she does not know what ICE will do with her clients in the mean-

companies,” Hooven said, “and why would you want to go anywhere else?”

In early November, Deloitte's Cincinnati office and The Enquirer named Enable Injections as one of the region’s rising business stars. The presence of Enable Injections and other biotech companies in Southwest Ohio led the industry-watching Kauffman Index in 2017 to rank Ohio 18th in start-ups.

Products still in testing The Enable Injections devices do not yet have approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and that milestone could be a few more years away, Hooven said.

EVENDALE – In a refurbished factory on East Sharon Road, 80 people are working on a product that could make the task of taking medicine as easy as pushing a button next to your belly button.

“When people see our device, the first thing they do is smile,” said Michael Hooven, president and chief executive officer of Enable Injections Inc. “The next thing they do is, they stick it on themselves.”

Hooven predicts Enable Injections could present an initial public offering next year, get the product to market by 2020 and be a multibillion-dollar company in five years.

With its round, inviting appearance, the enFuse injector aims to make a big wrinkle in the shift to personalized medicine. Once the device comes to market, a patient can administer drugs at home that today require a trip to and several hours in a hospital’s infusion suite.

“From a design standpoint, it’s a very good device,” said Paul Jansen, an industry observer in Boston with 30 years in the business of building medical devices and has no connection with Enable Injections. “It’s well-designed, and its functioning, from an engineering standpoint, is very good.”

Enable Injections is far enough along in development, after eight years of tinkering, for Big Pharma to put down big money. In October, the company announced it pulled $50 million in a fundraising round, and among the investors is French drug maker Sanofi. Also on board are Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and CincyTech, the public-private seed-stage investor.

“We’ve got the ability to establish ourselves as the high-tech supplier, the high-tech partner for all the pharma

studies next year, Hooven said, and it’s possible the devices could be approved for use in other nations first.

Enable Injections is the latest medical-device venture for Hooven, a mechanical engineer who races Porsches for fun. He came to Cincinnati in 1988 to lead new-product development at Ethicon, a division of Johnson & Johnson. He went out on his own and founded AtriCure in Mason, which builds tools to treat heart defects.

In 2010, Hooven started Enable Injections with his wife, Susan Spies, now vice president for administration. The initial plan was to build on research at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center on taking the sting out of childhood vaccinations.

The idea changes to focus on home

Colerain Township firefighters battle a fire at the Ashley Woods Apartments.

PROVIDED/COLERAIN TOWNSHIP FIRE AND EMS

Colerain Twp. apartment fire leaves 8 families homeless Jennie Key Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A fire at the Ashley Woods Apartments in Colerain Township caused $150,000 in damage and sent eight families to temporary housing Wednesday, Jan. 2.

There were no reported injuries to either firefighters or residents, and all eight families are currently being assisted with temporary housing, as utilities to the building had to be shut off.

Crews arriving at the fire at around 12:30 p.m. found heavy smoke from an eight-family townhouse building with fire coming through the roof at one of the units. There was heavy fire in the attic area extending into five of the eight townhouse units. It took fire crews about 40 minutes to get the fire under control.

Fire officials said utilities to the building had to be shut off, and there was heavy damage to five of the eight units.

Firefighters from neighboring departments helped Colerain Township with the two-alarm fire.

But as often happens in development, the path changed. Hooven and the developers realized the frontier lay in the administration of drugs that now must be dispensed in hospitals – such as biologics for cancer treatment. The goal: make dispensing those drugs easy at home.

The first pitch was to persuade pharma companies to load drugs into the injector itself. But Hooven said drug companies resisted dropping traditional vials and syringes. In 2012, the design changed again to focus on “figuring out a really elegant way to transfer the drug from the vial or the syringe into the injector,” Hooven said. Drug companies would be more likely to ship an injector with a drug, rather than put the drug in the injector at manufacture.

Enable Injections developed the enFuse injector, a circular unit made of clear purple plastic that looks like a yoyo split in half with a big button in the middle and adhesive on the back. A patient fills the injector with a drug, sticks the device on the abdomen and presses the button to deploy the needle. Thy injectors range in size from 10 to 50 milliliters. The device got its U.S. patent in March.

Jansen, the industry observer, said some developers of similar devices be-

lieve the target market is insulin-dependent diabetics. But insulin now is relatively easy to inject. The industry challenge, he said, are drugs made of larger molecules, such as biologics, that are hard to get into the body in the right quantities to be effective. That’s the path Enable Injections has pioneered, with an elegant simplicity.

“What’s nice about it is that it doesn’t contain a lot of electronics and a lot of expensive hardware to power the devices,” Jansen said. “That is what I believe will be the success for it in the area where it’s the right device. . . . A lot of oncology compounds that demand a syringe now would be taken out of the hospital and out of the clinics and into the house.”

Hooven said the devices will cost about $25 to $50 each, which he said will not appreciably raise the price of drugs.

Considering how much money could be saved in decades to come for patients and hospitals by making expensive drugs manageable at home, the cost saving will be significant over time, he said.

“Think about how much is being spent in health care, the hundreds of millions of patients, all the people attending to them,” Hooven said, “and how you can eliminate a large majority of those costs out of the health care system, just by doing this.”

The fire remains under investigation by the Colerain Township Fire Investigative Unit, but the cause is believed to have been accidental.

Man indicted in Forest Park shooting of teen Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A man was indicted Thursday, Jan. 3 after police said he shot a teen in the arm at a McDonalds the day after Christmas.

Khiry Donshante Smith, 24, is facing four counts of felonious assault.

Forest Park police said Smith exited the McDonald's on Northland Blvd., got a 9 mm handgun from his car and fired

three rounds at a vehicle.

A 16-year-old and two 17-year-olds were inside the vehicle, and a bullet struck the younger teen in the arm, according to Khiry Smith court records.

Smith was arrested the following day. He is being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center on a $750,000 bond. His trial has not yet been scheduled.

Cincinnati's main blood bank has declared an emergency need for donors to give the most universally useful blood type for emergency transfusions.

Hoxworth, University of Cincinnati posted an emergency alert on Twitter Thursday of an emergency need for Type O-negative blood.

Type O-negative is considered the universal donor to enable emergency blood transfusions, according to the American Red Cross.

Holiday weekend donations were low and the need for blood was high, according to Hoxworth, UC. Hoxworth said the blood bank has 58 percent of the inventory needed of Type O-negative to serve area hospitals.

People with Type O-negative are asked to visit hoxworth.org to schedule

time. Both Sow and Goura Ndiaya could remain in Louisiana, returned to federal custody in Morrow County or be granted supervised release.

It's most likely that ICE will keep the men in custody because they have final orders of removal. Ndiaya, an engineer who has lived in the United States since 2000, needs a total hip replacement and has not received painkilling medicine since was arrested Dec. 10 at an ICE check-in appointment, LubansOtto said.

Sow is among the 70,000 AfroMauritanians, members of a slave caste who were exiled and stripped of their citizenship after a two-year war in 1989 and 1990. The dispute started over grazing rights along the Mauritania-Senegal border. In all, a quarter of a million Fulani-speaking black Mus-

lims in both countries fled their homes to escape persecution, many ending up in refugee camps in Mali.

Ohio has the largest population of Mauritanians, with concentrated communities in Greater Cincinnati and Columbus.

Advocates for the Mauritanians say they are at risk of enslavement, torture or death if returned.

Lubans-Otto said she has moved to reopen the cases of her Mauritanian clients who were denied asylum – Sow's came in 1991 – because they had unqualified representation and because conditions have worsened in the West African nation in the past decade.

She met with another Mauritanian client on Friday. He, too, has lived without incident on supervised release for several years. He said he had an ICE check-in appointment Tuesday in Columbus.

She told him to prepare to be put into active deportation proceedings.

During the holidays, I had my girlfriends over for lunch. Each of them brought a salad and I made the main entre, a grilled flat iron steak, served room temperature. Even though I didn’t specify what kind of salad to bring, they were all different!

My friend Lainie brought a very unusual, winter fruit salad. Spicy and sweet and so refreshing.

And remember the reader who wanted chili recipes? I’m sharing a fun clone of a beloved restaurant, Empress Chili.

Maybe you’d like to try your hand at it. It contains cinnamon, which is a common ingredient in many of my savory Lebanese dishes. During the holidays, I had my girl friends over for lunch.

Viewpoints How to make 2019 the year you succeed Tom Cooney & Crystal Faulkner Guest Columnists Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK – REGION

As we start a new year I want to be intentional about growing personally and professionally. I know you started your own business and work with many successful people. Do you have any advice on this subject?

Several years ago, we heard a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt: “Do one thing every day that scares you.” We thought about the statement and wondered: Were we still challenging ourselves as professionals? Did our goals still “scare us”? Have we become entirely too comfortable in our business? When we thought about these concepts we realized that far too often people simply get comfortable with being comfortable. In addition to our traditional CPA practice, we work with individuals and business leadership teams to help them align their vision so that they can execute on their goals to drive value in their careers and ultimately help grow

value in the businesses where they work.

The vast majority of people live within their comfort zones. It is those people who push the outer limits of their comfort zone who see the change they desire. We firmly believe that the more you stretch your comfort zone, the bigger it gets. Ask yourself what you might miss if you don’t challenge yourself. Embrace the concept of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Write down your goals Unless a goal is written down, it is only an idea. Writing down goals and assigning deadlines helps visualize what you want to accomplish. Having goals publicly displayed also holds you accountable.

Display the goals in frames in your office and home to keep priorities, both professionally and personally, top of mind. If you can see it, you can do it.

Make the decision to raise the bar It’s easy to be comfortable with what’s familiar. If we want to grow professionally and personally we must continue to learn skills, gain credentials and work on ourselves. In other words, you may have to do what others are not willing to do in order to stand out in your career. Consider education, books, courses, etc. that could bring value and expertise to your organization or clients. That might mean ded-

icating time to studying, taking exams and attending conferences… while still working in your organization. What can you do as a business leader to help your clients and customers succeed even more? The answer to this question will put you on the right course.

Identify (and weigh) the pros and cons What will happen if you act and venture outside your comfort zone? Your career may experience growth. What will happen if you don’t? Nothing will change.

Measuring the pros and cons of your action and inaction is beneficial when deciding whether to add services, product lines, increase your professional expertise, etc. By weighing your options, you can build equity in yourself and your organization.

Fail forward Generally, people don’t think about the benefits of failure. However, if we apply what we learn from our failures, we can use it to practice, improve and try again.

Several years ago, we made a proposal to a real estate developer, but didn’t get the business. At the time, this potential client thought our firm was too small. We stayed in touch and continued to send the business owner valuable information that was pertinent to his company. The owner

witnessed firsthand our understanding and knowledge of the real estate industry, as well as our commitment to providing value. Recently, this same individual reached out and hired us to handle his personal and business accounting needs.

By using failure as fuel, we were able to set ourselves up for the future.

Ask yourself these three questions: Are you truly stretching yourself and your business? Are you constantly learning and developing as a leader? Are you reaching new heights and realizing your full potential? If you didn’t answer yes to these questions, do what we did: Take Eleanor Roosevelt’s advice and “do one thing every day that scares you!”

Employers should be Cash in gift cards while aware of W-2 scam, returning the ugly sweater protect information Before ringing in the New Year, small businesses are encouraged to be on guard against a growing wave of identity theft and W-2 scams.

Regardless of the size of the company, the sensitive tax data about their employees is highly valued information and sought after by identity thieves.

In fact, this scheme has become one of the more dangerous phishing email scams.

The emails appear to be from an executive or organization leader to a payroll or human resources employee. The email will typically start with a simple greeting and then will quickly escalate with a demand for all the organization’s forms W-2, typically in PDF or spreadsheet format.

Because payroll officials believe they are corresponding with an executive, recipients may quickly respond to the email without checking the source, and it may take weeks for someone to realize a data theft has occurred. That is until an employee goes to file their taxes and learns someone else has filed on their behalf.

Generally, the criminals will quickly take advantage of the theft, sometimes filing the fraudulent tax returns within a day or two.

This scam is such a threat to taxpayers that a special IRS reporting process has been established.

Should such a breach occur, businesses are encouraged to report the incident to their employees, to the IRS, and implement their cybersecurity plan protocol.

In addition, payroll service providers may also be requested to file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center and a report with their local law enforcement agency. Employees affected by the incident are recommended to take steps to protect themselves from identity theft. The FTC’s www.identitytheft.gov provides guidance on general steps employees should take.

The first few weeks after the busy holiday season could include using new gift cards, returning presents that weren’t quite right, or exchanging items that just aren’t your style. Retailers are ready for this influx of activity and typically offer post-holiday sales to encourage the use of gift cards. However, they also tend to tighten their return policies at the same time.

According to giftcards.com, at least one-third of the annual $100 billion spent purchasing gift cards is spent during the holiday season. While many people who receive a gift, card use it right away, some people may decide to wait for an opportunity to utilize their Sandra Guile card. On average, $2 bilGuest Columnist lion worth of gift cards Community Press go unused every year, USA TODAY NETWORK as reported by the National Retail Federation, and this inactivity can cause issues for both retailers and consumers. BBB receives numerous questions and complaints about what to do when a gift card is lost or stolen or what to do with an outstanding gift card for a business going bankrupt.

Many people don’t realize is that federal rules govern gift card sales. These rules cover potential issues like longterm inactivity or a missing or stolen card. Gift cards that have been purchased or reloaded with additional money can’t expire for at least five years, and any expiration dates must be clearly indicated on the card. If in that time a retailer files for bankruptcy, they may still be required to honor the card, or they refer customers to a competitor who will fulfill the remaining balance.

While retailers must follow the rules when it comes to gift cards, customers are the ones who must obey the instructions for return policies - especially during post-holiday sales restrictions.

BBB recommends that consumers read the return/exchange policies thoroughly before heading to the store. Return policies for holiday and clearance

items may be different than those for items sold at regular price; the same can be said for merchandise sold online. Every store has a unique policy, so it’s important to understand it before attempting to return or exchange something.

After reviewing the retailer’s policies, find the gift receipt for the item, and, if possible, gather the original packaging or tags. To deter shoplifters who return stolen merchandise for cash, many retailers deny returns without a receipt.

However, even though stores require a receipt for a monetary payout, customers may be able to get store credit or an exchange for something of similar value without one.

Most retailers have a fixed time frame for how long a consumer can bring back unwanted pieces, to determine the time frame for returns and exchanges on your items. The policies that determine what can be brought back also apply to the length of time people have, so clearance or sale items may also be under a different time frame than regular items. It’s best not to wait too long; make plans to travel to the store and trade in your items as soon as possible.

Additionally, some retailers may charge a restocking fee for returns on electronic products or large-ticket items.

If you plan on returning a high-tech or expensive gift, keep the original packaging.

When returning a gift that was purchased online, some customers may not be refunded for the original shipping fee; some may even be required to pay a separate shipping charge to send the item back. Depending on the retailer’s policy, the merchandise may be returned at a brick-and-mortar store, but they’ll still charge for the cost of shipping the item.

Now that the holidays are over, and stores are offering steady sales, make the best use of your gifts, whether that means using those gift cards or returning presents. Before heading out to a store, use the retailer’s website to check their return policy and visit bbb.org to look up their Business Profile.

Sports Pete Rose gives stolen bat to store owner Dave Clark Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A bat that police say was taken from a Forest Park memorabilia store after a Pete Rose autograph session there was recently recovered by an officer and returned to the Hit King and former Cincinnati Reds great, who signed and returned it to the store owner, according to multiple reports.

The store’s owner, Mark Fugate, said he confronted one of the juveniles in the parking lot as the police officer chased after the other fleeing suspects in his cruiser. Three juveniles were stopped in the wooded area behind the store, Fugate said. The property was recovered, according to the police report. Fugate declined to prosecute, police said.

Fugate said the officer returned the stolen Rose bat, valued at $150, and he was “stunned” to see the Hit King sitting at a table. The officer handed the bat to Rose and said, “Pete, I got your bat.”

Meanwhile, with Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred announcing a deal in November with MGM Resorts International, reporter Darren Rovell asked via Twitter whether it changes whether Rose should be

eligible for National Baseball Hall of Fame consideration?

In late May, Manfred told The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal that legalized gambling wouldn't change the outlook on baseball's relationship with the 77year-old Rose, explaining that "there

will always be a rule that prohibits betting on baseball ... that's the rule Pete Rose violated."

In divorce court filings revealed in September, Rose said that he is "in poor health and disabled," and "can barely walk or travel." Rose has traveled, how-

ever, throughout the country to a number of recent speaking engagements.

In June, Cameo promoted a video autograph featuring Father's Day wishes from Rose for dads and grandfathers for $150.

An email shared in March included an offer of dinner for four in Las Vegas with Rose for $5,000 in addition to the cost of the meal itself.

Carol Rose said that Pete remains a "high stakes gambler" who has significant debts with casinos and the IRS and fails to pay support on time, according to documents reported by TMZ Sports.

Carol Rose married Pete in 1984. A divorce case started in 2011, according to documents, and the two remain married despite their separation.

Carol Rose has claimed that Pete makes more than $1 million annually.

Last year, Rose's lawyers made a financial disclosure in his now-defunct defamation lawsuit against former baseball lawyer John Dowd. Rose dropped that lawsuit last year.

The lawyers said Dowd's allegation that Rose committed statutory rape with an underage girl led to the loss of two potential endorsement deals, according to William Weinbaum of ESPN.

GLORY DAYS

This is the 1974 Finneytown High School boys soccer team, which won Ohio's first state championship. THANKS TO BOB MURO

1974 Finneytown soccer first state champ Mark Schmetzer

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Bob Muro spent much of childhood growing up in foreign countries such as Cuba and Puerto Rico and Brazil. He picked up an appreciation for soccer in the last country, even before the brilliant Pele burst into prominence.

“Oh, my God, that’s all they talked about,” recalled Muro, whose father worked for Goodyear.

After graduating from Xavier University with a degree in secondary education, Muro landed his first job in a Greater Cincinnati version of Brazil – Finneytown, a hotbed of the Soccer Association for Youth (SAY) program. When he suddenly found himself in charge of the Wildcats’ soccer program, he had some catching up

to do.

“I did a lot of studying and went to every clinic I could,” he said.

The confluence of Muro’s crash course in coaching and the wealth of talent trained by Finneytown’s hyperactive youth program produced in 1974 a team that captured Ohio’s first soccer state championship. The Wildcats completed a dominant 18-0 season with a 2-0 win over Cleveland West Tech on Nov. 9, 1974, at Dublin High School near Columbus.

Marco Marsan, a citizen of Canada and near-lifelong Finneytown resident at the time, gave the Wildcats a 1-0 lead midway through the first half with a goal off a throw-in from Cliff Weinstein. Junior Chris McVey, now Muro’s dentist, added an insurance goal on a header off a Dave Peacock corner kick with 5:26 left in the game. Goalkeeper Doug Weinstein, Cliff’s

older brother who’d traded football for soccer, came up with 11 saves on the way to his sixth consecutive shutout before an estimated crowd of 1,500.

Soccer was so new around the state that the Ohio High School Athletic Association still wasn’t sponsoring a statechampionship tournament. That was two years away. The 1974 tournament was sponsored by the state soccer coaches’ association.

“When we had the soccer coaches’ association pushing it, we were trying to make it a state-sanctioned sport,” recalled Muro, a College Hill resident and volunteer assistant with the Mariemont girls soccer team. “When they finally sanctioned it, they didn’t have a tournament.

We said, ‘Let’s give them a model.’

“They were not very conducive to soccer. Soccer was starting to grow in the

state as a high school sport, but they were very slow trying to get that.”

Finneytown was uniquely poised to capitalize on the invention of a soccer tournament. The Wildcats piled up 82 goals while allowing only six during a second consecutive 18-0 season. They beat Anderson, 4-0, at Trechter Stadium to earn a state semifinal berth against Centerville. Back at Trechter Stadium, which was located adjacent to the north of where Cincinnati Technical College is located before being demolished in 1993. Finneytown earned a trip to Dublin with a 3-0 win over the Elks.

“We had a balance,” said Muro, who at 22 wasn’t much older than many of his players and could more easily identify with many of them. “We had a lot of guys See FINNEYTOWN, Page 2B

Wyoming’s Joey Edmonds named LaRosa’s MVP A two-sport star in basketball and football for the Wyoming Cowboys, senior Joey Edmonds has scored over 1,000 career points in basketball and is the first athlete in school history in football to have more than 1,000 yards in both receiving and passing in a career.

A four-year starter in basketball, Edmonds entered this season already having scored 1,073 points in his career. Last season, Edmonds earned numerous basketball honors, including CHL Player of the Year, 1st team all-city, 1st team SWO District and 2nd team all-state.

“Being able to serve as both coach and father to Joey Edmonds, I continue to be impressed with the solid judgment, tireless energy, and professionalism in which he carries and commits himself to whatever task or endeavor he is involved, head basketball coach Tim Edmonds said.

Also, a four-year varsity starter in football playing both offense and defense, Edmonds’ 52 varsity games played is the most by a Wyoming player in school history. This past season, he helped the Cowboys go an undefeated 15-0 and win the Div. IV Ohio state championship.

As a receiver, he had 54 receptions for 1,006 yards and a single-season school record 19 receiving touchdowns. On defense, he had five interceptions and a defensive TD. He was named first all-CHL, first team all-city, 1st team SWO District and first team all-state Div. IV. Edmonds will play basketball collegiately at the University of Findlay.

The USA Today All-USA Ohio First-Team Defense includes Colerain senior linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. MICHAEL NOYES/FOR THE ENQUIRER

USA Today All-USA state teams filled with locals John Snodgrass Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

USA Today recently released its AllUSA state football teams. Among the hundreds of players across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, both Ohio's and Kentucky's teams featured plenty of local prep standouts.

In Ohio, the headline was Wyoming junior quarterback Evan Prater. Prater was named the USA Today All-USA Ohio Offensive Player of the Year. The junior helped lead the Cowboys to an undefeated season and the Division IV state championship this past fall.

Winton Woods junior running back Miyan Williams joins Prater in the firstteam offensive backfield. Along the line, Anderson senior Zeke Correll (Notre Dame signee) and St. Xavier junior Paris Johnson (Ohio State verbal com-

mit) lead the protection. Correll's teammate, senior Eric Curless, was also named first-team as a wide receiver.

The first-team defense features Walnut Hills senior lineman Jowon Briggs (Virginia signee) and Colerain senior linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. (Miami signee).

Lakota West senior defensive back JJ Ross was named to the second-team defense while Mason senior Charlie Sipe was named Ohio's All-USA kicker.

Across the river, Covington Catholic's Michael Mayer and Beechwood's Adam Derry earned the top local honors.

Mayer, a junior tight end, has verbally committed to Notre Dame while Derry, a senior offensive lineman, signed with Middle Tennessee State earlier this month. Both were named first-

team All-USA offense in Kentucky.

The second-team offense features CovCath senior running back Casey McGinness, Campbell County senior tight end Reid Jolly and Ryle senior offensive lineman Jake Gideon (Western Michigan signee).

On defense, no locals earned firstteam honors but several made the second team. On the defensive line, Simon Kenton senior JJ Courtney (Mount St. Joseph verbal commit) was named AllUSA. He is joined by senior linebackers Kyle Kelly and Jack Coldiron and senior defensive back Logan Castleman. Kelly goes to Newport Central Catholic and signed with Ohio while Coldiron attends CovCath and signed with Miami.

Castleman is a Beechwood product and will play collegiate baseball at Wright State.

Colerain names Cutright as head football coach Melanie Laughman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Colerain High School has named Shawn Cutright as the next head football coach, pending board approval, according to a press release.

Cutright joined the Colerain coaching staff in 2005 under head coach Kerry Coombs, and was promoted to defensive coordinator by former head coach Tom Bolden after just three seasons, where he has since called the defense for the Cardinals. During his tenure as coordinator, the Cardinals have collected 120 wins, 11 consecutive GMC conference titles, 10 OHSAA Division 1 playoff appearances, 3 Regional Cham-

“He was outstanding,” Muro said. “He was one of the main reasons we were so successful, but it took a lot of people. We had a great balance of kids,” Doug Weinstein made 11 saves in the championship match, three fewer than the 14 he logged against Centerville, but he told the Enquirer that McVey contributed as much on defense as he did on offense.

“I’d have to give him the star of the game,” Doug Weinstein said. “Chris played exceptionally well. He saved two sure shots by himself. I couldn’t have gotten the shutout without him.”

Like Doug Weinstein, McVey played

pionships, and the Division 1 State Runner-Up in 2018. In 2013, Cutright was named Assistant Coach of the Year by the Southwest Ohio Football Coaches Association.

Shawn During his time at ColeCutright rain, Cutright has taught Biology, Genetics, Astronomy, Environmental Science and Physical Science.

Prior to arriving to Colerain, Cutright was a science teacher and Defensive Coordinator for Northside High School in Jacksonville, North Carolina where they made two trips to the NCHSAA state playoffs. During his time at Northside (2003-2005), he also was their

“I wasn’t doing anything during the fall, and my track and basketball coaches thought it would be a good idea to play soccer just to stay in shape,” he told the Enquirer. “It was something to do to fill my time. I wasn’t expecting to start or anything.”

Finneytown was more than ready when the OHSAA started sponsoring post-season tournaments in 1976. The Wildcats squeezed past Anderson, 2-1, in a district championship match – the equivalent of today’s regional champion-

Varsity Baseball coach, and helped turn around a program with zero wins, to a .500 season in one year.

From 2000-2003, Cutright was a science teacher and coached football, boys basketball, and girls softball for Franklin High School in Franklin, Ohio.

Cutright is a native of West Virginia, where he graduated from Tucker County High School, and later received his bachelor’s degree from Marietta College in biology, and his master’s degree from Marygrove College in education.

Cutright resides in South Lebanon with his wife, Renee, and three children, Olivia (13), Connor (8), and Nyah (5).

Rotary honors Cincinnati Firefighters for Valor, Service, Professionalism “Imagine struggling to breathe and hearing that calm voice telling you ‘Everything’s going to be OK.’” That’s how Assistant Cincinnati Fire Chief Anson Turley described the rescue from a smoke-filled building that led to Firefighter Camela Turrin being honored for valor by the Rotary Club of Cincinnati.

Turrin was among four firefighters recently honored at the annual Rotary Awards luncheon at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza Hotel. The awards celebrate significant achievement in valor, administration, self-improvement and community service.

Honorees were: Firefighter Camela Turrin - Valor, Captain John Raterman – Administrative, Captain Matthew Flagler - Self Improvement and Firefighter Alexis Rodgers - Community Service. The Rotary Foundation of Cincinnati also presented $1,000 to the Cincinnati Fire Foundation.

Turrin, a 19-year veteran of the Cincinnati Fire Department, said her actions were part of a team effort. “I am humbled by this award,” Turrin said. “We had a task that needed doing, and I just did my job.”

When the fire department arrived at the scene of an apartment fire in Avondale in August, the second-floor apartment was cut off by a fire below. Smoke billowed into the apartment and two women who lived there were coughing, crying and pleading for help. They tried to gulp air through an open window, but wind swirled the smoke and fouled the air.

“Smoke is extremely dangerous,” said Turley. “Most people who die in a fire are not burned to death, they die from smoke inhalation.” Turrin climbed a ladder through the smoke to the panicking residents. Speaking in a calm voice, she reassured them, described the rescue plan and guided them down the ladder, shielding each woman’s body with her own as they climbed to safety.

“A fellow firefighter said he had never seen a firefighter work so quickly and efficiently to gain a victim’s trust and compliance as they struggled to breathe,” said Turley.

Captain John Raterman received the Administrative Excellence Award As one of three Safety Officers for the Cincinnati Fire Department, Raterman has used his knowledge and 29 years of experience to impact individual firefighters’ safety and to improve the department’s efficiency, safety and effectiveness.

This year he developed systems for tracking administrative issues and improved the safety and health of firefighters at the scene. He has written job duties and procedures for all fire captains and trained each captain on their roles and responsibilities. He implemented additional accountability measures for the Safety Officer position, improving operations at the fire scene.

Turley said Raterman has championed the department’s efforts to address recent studies showing firefighters have increased cancer risk because of occupational exposure. Raterman wrote the department’s fire ground decontamination policy and implemented an exchange and cleaning program for the hoods firefighters wear to reduce possible contact with carcinogens.

Captain Matthew Flagler received the Self Improvement Award.

Turley said Flagler is constantly expanding his skills, enhancing his education and striving to improve his and the department’s effectiveness. The 18year veteran of the Cincinnati Fire Department stays current with industry best practices and has built a nationwide network in the firefighting community.

Flagler has a bachelor’s degree in Fire Science from the University of Cincinnati and completed certification in the rigorous National Fire Academy’s Executive Fire Officer Program. As an instructor, he regularly teaches courses and shares knowledge with fellow firefighters.

Flagler recently enrolled at Cincinnati Christian University to obtain a Master of Divinity degree. Flagler was honored for his dedication to increasing his knowledge, skills and spiritual growth to serve others.

Firefighter Alexis Rodgers received the Community Service Award.

She led the 2018 fire cadet program, acting as instructor and role model. She taught the young fire cadets what it takes to be a firefighter and helped them make a difference in the community through service projects.

Since joining the Cincinnati Fire Department in 2014, Rodgers has actively engaged in department activities beyond her job description. She is a member of

Making the transition from local school board president to State Representative Jessica Miranda ran a very vigorous and strategic campaign and was elected as the State Representative for the 28th District. She resigned her position as the President of the Winton Woods City Schools Board of Education on Dec. 31.

Miranda has been a faithful and committed member of the Winton Woods City Schools Board of Education for the past five years. She has been steadfast in her commitment in making sure all students are reaching their highest potential.

Jessica has been instrumental in supporting the direction of the school district while paying particularly close attention to early childhood education. The implementation of all day preschool and all day kindergarten were essential developmental educational initiatives that have helped Winton Woods City Schools earn a five-star rating.

During her term on the Winton Woods City School Board, Project Based Learning (in conjunction with the New Tech Network) has been strategically expanded across all grade bands in the district (preK-12). Winton Woods is currently one of only two districts in the country to make this commitment because of the opportunity it provides for all of our students. This was done with a focus on creating a transformational, sustainable educational model that will prepare our students to become future ready.

Winton Woods City Schools is in the process of designing two new state-of-the-art campuses which

the Mayor’s Gender Equality Task Force to address the work environment for women in the city and is active in the Cincinnati African American Firefighters Association and its many community service projects. She was honored for her community involvement and her impact on the youth of Cincinnati.

All the firefighters serve in Cincinnati. The Fire Department does not release the communities where firefighters live.

The Rotary Club of Cincinnati initiated the annual Rotary Awards more than a decade ago to honor excellence in key public service professions. The awards honor members of the Cincinnati Police in April, Cincinnati teachers in June, officers in the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office in August and the Cincinnati Fire Department in November.

The Rotary Club of Cincinnati was founded in 1910 as a service and networking organization with a mission to provide selfless service in the community and the world and to meet needs of children with disabilities. With close to 350 members, it is the largest Rotary Club in Greater Cincinnati. The Rotary Foundation is its philanthropic arm.

Family that adopted 6 siblings:

‘We just make it work’ Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

On a recent Friday afternoon, the buzzing of electric hair clippers could be heard coming from the basement of the Sanders family’s home.

Christopher Sanders, who last year became a father to 11 children after he and his wife adopted six siblings, was presiding over 12-year-old Carson’s hair.

Carson sat dutifully on a stool near the bottom of the basement stairs, as Christopher talked about the financial necessity of learning to cut hair.

“There’s too many of them to be going to the barbershop,” Christopher said, carefully guiding the clippers along the back of the boy's head.

"We get a lot of people asking us how we do it," he said. "We just make it work. Just do whatever it is that needs to be done."

Christopher and his wife, Christina, received nationwide fame last year after they adopted Carson and his five siblings.

The Forest Park couple, who work as independent caregivers for the elderly, also have five biological children.

The adoption ceremony in Hamilton County Probate Court was covered by local media. Then the story went viral.

Soon, the family was hearing from national media, television production companies, well-wishers – and eventually the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Last November, Christopher, Christina and the 11 children were flown to California to appear on the show, which is taped at the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank.

It was everyone’s first time on an airplane.

DeGeneres presented them with a $50,000 check from Walmart. A month later, the couple was invited again to be in the audience to receive gifts as part of the show’s “12 Days of Giveaways.”

Not surprisingly, the Sanders' are big Ellen fans.

“She smells so good,” Christina noted.

A year later, the couple hasn’t yet cashed in a threeday, two-night trip to a luxury resort. You can’t blame them. They have a lot going on.

In addition to the six adopted siblings, four of their biological children live in the the modest house, which now has six bedrooms, including the two they added in the basement. Many of the bedrooms have bunk beds.

Their oldest son, 21-year-old Chris Jr., graduated from college and now has his own place, also in Forest Park. But this year, the couple took in two foster children, an infant girl and a 5-year-old boy.

The math works out like this: 12 children now in the home, eight boys and four girls. The youngest is two months; the oldest, 17.

Carson Sanders, 12, closes his eyes as his father Christopher Sanders cuts his hair at their Forest Park home Friday December 7, 2018.

Christopher Sanders and his wife Christina have five biological children and adopted six siblings last year.

The couple is also fostering two other children.

Five are in high school, one is in middle school, four are in grade school. One is a preschooler.

On the recent Friday, everyone gathered at the house. There were two birthdays to celebrate – Christina’s 43rd and Caylee, who was wearing a red dress for the occasion, turned 14.

They also were setting up an artificial Christmas tree in the living room. Christina asked some of the boys to assemble it.

Children came in and out of the room. Some added ornaments to the tree. The 5-year-old hid inside a box that previously housed Christmas tree parts.

The 2-month old needed to be fed, changed, entertained.

The buzzing from Christopher Sr.’s makeshift barbershop continued.

When asked if she thrives on chaos, Christina, without hesitating, said: “This ain’t chaos.”

Chaos, she said, is when her husband "and that one, and that one, and that one" – she pointed to various boys in the room – "are watching a football game.” The passion during a game can be loud, she said.

At one point, 17-year-old Coby announced that he wants a tattoo for his 18th birthday, which is next month. Of a tiger.

“See what I mean?” Christina said. “I can’t get one birthday out of the way before we get another one.”

Summit Middle School students selected to play in the OMEA Honor Band Eighth graders Darnell Baldwin, Wyoming, and Jack Hollenbeck, Mason, and seventh graders Tarek Hasan, East Walnut Hills, and David Schnitter, Clermont County’s Union Township earned acceptance into the Ohio Music Education Association District 14 Honor Band.

Darnell plays trombone while Tarek and Jack play the trumpet. David plays the clarinet.

In front of a judge, every auditioning student performed the same selection and had to complete a piece they had not seen nor practiced.

Summit was one of only three Catholic schools with students on the list.

“This is basically the musical equivalent of an all-Star team, the top students from all schools in the Hamilton County area,” said Robert Browning, Director of Instrumental Music.

Darnell, Tarek, Jack and David will rehearse with the band three times and then will perform a public concert at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 13 at Princeton High School.
