5 things to watch for in Green Township in 2020 Segann March Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Green Township oﬃ cials have approved and pushed many new developments and quality of life projects forward into 2020. The township’s goals are to continue community outreach among the various departments, continue beautifying the area and focusing on the quality of life aspect to encourage young family development. Here are ﬁ ve things to watch for this upcoming year: Susan Namei carries a sign during a caucus to elect democratic convention delegates at Winton Woods Intermediate School in Cincinnati on Tuesday, Jan. 7.

What the vote for Ohio Democratic delegates tells us about presidential race Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

FOREST PARK, Ohio – If Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders gets the Democratic nomination for president, he may have College Hill resident Richard Asimus to thank, at least in part. The 76-year-old Democrat rallied about 200 friends and fellow activists Tuesday, Jan. 7 to vote for him as a Sanders delegate to the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee in July. It was the largest con- Asimus tingent for any presidential candidate at the Democratic preprimary caucus vote held Jan. 7 in Hamilton County’s 1st Congressional District. Asimus and friends were among a thousand Democrats gathered in the classrooms and gymnasium of Winton Woods Intermediate School in Forest Park to pick delegates to the national convention. Democrats in each of Ohio’s 16 congressional districts held identical elections. Only one thing was clear by the end of the night: Democrats are fi red up about the presidential election. They’re just fi red up about diff erent candidates. Here’s how the delegate process works. Any Democratic candidate in the March 17 primary in Ohio who gets at least 15% of the vote in any one of the state’s 16 congressional districts will get at least one delegate. Delegates for can-

The new Hampton Inn Hotel is set to open in fall Brandicorp, a development company based in Bellvue, Kentucky, is spearheading the zone change for Hampton Inn and Suites. The 96-room hotel will be located at 6336 Harrison Ave. The plan also includes a 6,200-square-foot, one-story commercial building and lot. The hotel will be completed no later than Jan. 1, 2022, but be ﬁ nshed at an earlier date.

Kuliga Park improvements and expansion The park, located at 6717 Bridgetown Road, is getting major improvements. Residents can expect in Phase One: a new one-mile trail, pavilion stage and updated restrooms around the park. The ﬁ rst phase will be completed in 2020. The township also applied for a state capital grant to add four additional pickleball courts, repave the tennis courts and to add a pedestrian connection. See PROJECTS, Page 2A

In the 1st Congressional District of Hamilton County and Warren County, slates of delegates were chosen for six Democratic presidential candidates: former Vice President Joe Biden, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. By far the most crowded room, with more than 200 people, was the vote for Sanders’ delegates. The Sanders delegation pushed the delegation for Buttigieg out of the

Construction of Jet’s Pizza and Buffalo Wild Wings Both Buﬀ alo Wild Wings and Jet’s Pizza are in the process of being built. The Jet’s Pizza Restaurant will be located at Harrison Avenue and Filview Circle, while BW3 will be located behind the Kroger Marketplace on Harrison Avenue. The BW3 proposal — approved by the Hamilton County Zoning Commission in August — also includes an oﬃ ce or retail space attached to the popular wing franchise. The proposal also included several external features, including but not limited to: a permanent green space with a retention pond, an outdoor seating area and a 263-space parking lot. The construction for BW3 has not started and Jet’s Pizza should be completed by spring 2020. Exact dates were not immediately available.

The next phase of the hike/bike trail from Wesselman Road to Veterans Park will begin Township oﬃ cials are looking at multiple options to connect the trailhead parking at Hutchinson to Veterans Park. This may include the opportunity to extend behind some businesses and utilize the sidewalk on Harrison Avenue. There is also a plan in place to connect Veterans Park near Wesselman Rd and the Eagle Lake Condominiums.

The hike/bike trail to Veterans Park from Wesselman Road similar to this hiking trail near Oakdale School will start construction this year. THANKS TO TONY ROSIELLO

laughing it up. His wife handed out snacks. “When people ask about who’s the most electable, I don’t think it’s a valid question,” Asimus said. “It’s not about electability. It’s about energy. There was a movement here with Sanders.” For many Democrats in that Forest Park school Jan. 7, electability was the most important factor in who they’re supporting. But opinions diﬀ ered on who could beat President Donald Trump. Biden had the second-largest crowd, with about a hundred people crammed into a small classroom to vote on his delegates. “He’s got the name recognition,” said John Horn, of Maineville, who supports Biden. Horn, a labor leader with the Ohio Association of Public School Employees, said he believes Biden and Klobuchar line up best on union issues. He actually prefers Klobuchar but “I don’t think she’s going to make it all the way.” A few had faith in Klobuchar. There were four people in Klobuchar’s classroom to pick delegates. One of them was Linda Fowler, 76, of Lebanon. Fowler believes the other Democratic candidates are too far to the left to beat Trump. “It’s not about what she is. It’s what

Police said scrap man took North College Hill food pantry box Chris Mayhew

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Police in North College Hill said a man who picks up scrap returned a marked food pantry box after learning it had been reported stolen. People's Pantry Cincy representatives reported the repainted former Enquirer newspaper sales box stolen Sunday, Jan. 5, according to a North College Hill Police Department Facebook post. The man who picked up the food pantry as scrap brought it back after learning it was reported taken, a police oﬃ cial said. The People's Pantry was painted green with yellow letters NCH on the front for North College Hill. The back of the box is painted with the words "The Giving Tree" with soup and corn cans shown at the end of tree branches. The North College Hill pantry box was made by Zane Reeb as an Eagle Scout project. The box was installed in July at 2022 Dallas Ave. There were bricks in the bottom to weigh the box down and prevent someone from taking it.

The pantry is in front of North College Hill City Councilwoman Amber Bailey's house. She helps stock the pantry and her family checks the box's status several times a day. "It’s literally a take what you need, leave what you can," Bailey said. The box was back on Dallas Avenue Monday, she said. The hope is to put it back in service in a day or two, she said. "It has fed hundreds of people," Bailey said. Toothbrushes, toothpaste and shampoo are sometimes left in the box for people to take as well, she said. “We’ve put in a lot of necessities because people are struggling,” she said. Backpacks and clothing have been placed either on her front porch or at the box as well, she said. Nonperishable canned foods are taken inside when it is too hot or freezing, she said. The pantry box was one of 15 donated by The Enquirer, said Lisa Andrews, founder of People's Pantry Cincy. Andrews said she started the ﬁ rst People's Pantry Cincy in September 2018 in Pleasant Ridge where she lives. Boxes, some from The Enquirer and Cincinnati Herald, and some made of wood or other materials. A People's Lib-

erty grant from the Haile Foundation enabled boxes to be placed in 10 low-income food desert neighborhoods, Andrews said. A food desert is deﬁ ned as an area with a predominance of low-income residents who have limited access to aﬀ ordable and nutritious food, according to an April 2019 Enquirer article. Andrews said her box in Pleasant

Ridge is on a bus line where people can grab a can or two of food as they are on the go. Sometimes the pantry is emptied and ﬁ lled a few times each day, she said. This isn't the ﬁ rst time a pantry was taken. Around Christmas 2018 a pantry box in Price Hill was taken, Andrews said. It was replaced in the spring of 2019 with a new pantry box, she said.

Greater Cincinnati is losing Northgate Macy’s store Jennie Key Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Macy’s will close its store at Northgate Mall in March, the company said in a recent letter to state offi cials. The location is the last major anchor store open at the Colerain Township mall. The department store chain, which has headquarters in Cincinnati and New York City, will have four remaining stores in the Cincinnati region: Kenwood, Anderson Township, Tri-County and Florence, plus furniture stores in Kenwood and Florence. A Macy’s spokeswoman said in a statement that a clearance sale will begin this month and run for approximately 8 to 12 weeks. The company said the closing will occur sometime between March 7 and 20, according to a letter it sent to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. A total of 139 employees will lose jobs when the store closes, the letter said. Offi cials said regular, non-seasonal workers that Macy’s is unable to place at nearby stores will be eligible for severance, including outplacement resources. “The decision to close a store is always a diffi cult one, but Macy’s is proud to have served our customers in the Cincinnati community at Macy’s Northgate over the past 27 years, and we look forward to continuing to do so” at the remaining local stores and online at macys.com, the statement concluded. Macy’s is hosting an Investor Day on Feb. 5 at the New York Stock Exchange, where its management team plans to share details of its strategy and threeyear plan. Shares in Macy’s stood at $17.50, up

40 cents or 2.3%, in midday trading. Milz said the closure was not surprising. Northgate’s most recent anchor to close was Sears in November of 2018. Macy’s was the last major anchor store open at the Colerain Township mall. It opened as Lazarus Department Store in 1992 and became Macy’s in 2005. Smaller anchors, including Ashley Home Furniture, Marshall’s DSW, Michael’s and Burlington Coat Factory will remain open. The mall’s former main anchors included Dillard’s and J.C. Penney. Penney’s left the mall in 2006 and Dillard’s closed in 2009. Xscape Theater opened in the former Penney’s site in 2013. “We had a strong suspicion this would happen, given larger trends. That’s why we have put so much eff ort looking at alternatives and options other than retail. We believe the future of the mall will be a mixed use.” Township administrator Geoff Milz said the Sears closing was a wake-up call. He began looking into how to move the mall toward a mixed-use plan that was not totally reliant on volatile retail tenants. “There is always opportunity in change,” Milz said. “We have been and will continue to be in communication with mall’s owner about the future of the mall. The mall is owned by Tabani Group. Dallas-based Tabani could not be reached for comment. Macy’s closed nine stores last year. The company closed its Downtown Cincinnati store in 2018. The Northgate Macy’s closing is one of at least nine in the news today. Other store closing reports included: ❚ Westfi eld Meridien Mall in Meridien, Connecticut.

❚ Macon Mall in Macon, Georgia. ❚ University Mall, Carbondale, Illinois. ❚ Macy’s Centre at Salisbury in Salisbury, Maryland. ❚ Stow-Kent Plaza in Stow, Ohio.

YOUR HEALTH with Dr. Owens

Dogs, many of them pit bull mixes, at the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Cincinnati’s Northside location in 2013. This year Hamilton County for the ﬁ rst time in 55 years will pick up stray dogs on its own, rather than contract with the SPCA. ENQUIRER FILE

We must talk about Hamilton County e-cigarettes with taxpayers may have youth.Here’s how. to foot bill for $6 Youth e-cigarette use is increasing at an alarming rate, with more than 5 million middle and high school students reporting that they currently use e-cigarettes, according to the 2019 National Youth Tobacco Survey.

O’dell M. Owens, MD, MPH President & CEO

This fall, the Wall Street Journal asked experts to provide tips to help parents talk to youth about e-cigarettes.The article,“Getting Through to Your Teen About the Dangers of Vaping,” includes this advice: 1. Don’t be direct. Rather than bluntly asking a young person if he or she is using e-cigarettes, try bringing up recent news to start a conversation. Be sincere and avoid judgement, even if the young person shares that he or she has tried e-cigarettes. 2. Avoid scare tactics. Learn about the risks of e-cigarettes and calmly share accurate information. Resources can be found at https://www.interactforhealth.org/vaping/. 3. Be persistent. There may be many conversations about e-cigarettes. Keep communication open and ongoing. 4. Stay calm. If you find out a young person is using e-cigarettes, avoid criticism. Ask questions to better understand why he or she is smoking. 5. Know when to get help. If your child, or a child you care about, cannot stop using e-cigar e-cigarettes, talk to his or her health care provider about treatment options.

What we reported: Animal Rights activists for the past several years criticized Hamilton County’s lack of enforcement of animal cruelty laws. In one such case, a dead dog hung for two days in a back yard fi lled with pit bulls in Mount Healthy in 2018. No charges were brought against the owners. The pressure worked. Hamilton County for the fi rst time in 55 years will pick up stray dogs on its own, rather than contract with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Cincinnati. The county commissioners chose last year not to renew the contract with SPCA for 2020. Now that the New Year has passed, it’s still not known about how much the changes in animal control will cost Hamilton County taxpayers and whether it will actually address the concerns over lax enforcement. Hamilton County has six months to fi gure it out. That’s the length of the extension the board of commissioners approved in December with the SPCA while

these details are ironed out. Critics say nothing has changed. The current proposals would move the same dog wardens from the SPCA to the sheriﬀ ’s department. The county would also keep the same 55-year-old shelter critics have charged was unsafe and outdated. And the SPCA would still handle investigations of animal cruelty. “Very little will change,” said William Coplen, who runs All Dogs Come from Heaven animal shelter in Clermont County. Coplen was one of the leading critics of the SPCA. “They simply get made county employees.”

Shelters aren’t cheap Taxpayers could end up paying millions for a 55-year-old dog shelter in Northside. It was the condition of this old shelter that, at least in part, spurred people to demand change. The county will likely end up buying it from the SPCA, said John Bruggen, budget director for Hamilton County. See SHELTER, Page 6A

Three coyote carcasses skinned, dropped oﬀ near Mt. Airy Forest Segann March Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Three coyote carcasses were left on West Ford Road near Mount Airy Forest on Thursday, Jan. 2, according to SPCA Chief Dog Warden Brandon Corcoran. Corcoran said someone skinned the hides oﬀ the coyotes and placed their bodies in a cardboard box near the area near the bike trail. A veterinarian inspected the carcasses and determined they were coyotes and not dogs. There are no leads yet or evidence as to how the animals were caught or killed. Corcoran said SPCA is working with a game warden with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to ﬁ nd out what happened. SPCA is also reviewing bike trail cameras to identify a vehicle tag.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources says a coyote is generally a slender animal, similar in appearance to a medium-sized dog. Coyotes are most active at dawn and dusk but may be seen frequently throughout the day. FILE PHOTO

Shelter Continued from Page 4A

“I don’t see there’s any other option,” Bruggen said. “There’s nothing else in the county that could hold that many animals.” A memo from Bruggen to county commissioners in July estimated the cost to purchase and renovate the shelter could be as high as $6 million. The cost could be higher if the county addresses some of the complaints lobbed against the Northside shelter. Critics contended the SPCA put too many dogs together in the kennel runs, leading to ﬁ ghts and injuries to the dogs. If the county renovates the facility so each dog is put in its own run, the costs could exceed $6 million, Bruggen said. The Hamilton County Auditor appraised the shelter property at $562,910. The SPCA estimated the value of the Northside shelter, equipment, real estate and personnel to be $2.1 million, according to an email from White to Bruggen dated Nov. 15 and obtained by The Enquirer. The county is negotiating with the SPCA. Any purchase will require the approval of the county commissioners. County maintenance personnel toured the facility in December and will issue a report soon on what needs to be upgraded, Bruggen said. “Everything I’ve seen is that we’re not going to take it as is and leave it alone,” Bruggen said. “We’re going to be investing in that facility.”

The sheriff wants to control animals

Three coyote carcasses were left on West Ford Road near the bike trail at Mount Airy Forest on Thursday, Jan. 2, according to SPCA Chief Dog Warden Brandon Corcoran. Someone skinned the hides off the coyotes and placed their bodies in a cardboard box. THE ENQUIRER/MADISON SCHMIDT

The purchase of the shelter doesn’t include the cost of employing dog wardens and running the shelter. The county has yet to ﬁ gure out how to organize animal control. Sheriﬀ Jim Neil wants a shot at it.

The current proposal from the sheriff ’s department would move the same dog warden and eight deputy dog wardens under the control of the Hamilton County Sheriff . The SPCA would still handle most investigations into animal cruelty as part its regular operations, but without funding from the county. Under the new plan, the sheriff would also devote a sheriff ’s deputy to investigate animal control issues and issue citations and make arrests if warranted. The whole cost to the county of running the shelter and dog wardens will likely run $1.7 million a year, according to a proposed plan by the sheriff ’s offi ce. That’s what the county pays the SPCA each year now. The sheriff wouldn’t run the shelter under the latest proposal. The county would have to hire additional staff to manage the shelter, Bruggen said. He didn’t know how many people would need to be hired.

SPCA defends its record The SPCA, for its part, also pushed for the county to take over the dog warden patrols and the responsibility for picking up strays. The organization wanted to focus on the adoption of dogs and cats at its Sharonville facility, educational services and behavioral training services for dogs, said Jake White, president and CEO of the SPCA Cincinnati. White disagreed with the criticism that the SPCA doesn’t enforce animal cruelty laws. White said they can’t release information about ongoing investigations. When asked about the lack of charges in cases, such as the Mount Healthy case, he said criminal charges aren’t always the answer. “Our primary focus is to ﬁ x the community,” White said. “A lot of that is done with education. It doesn’t mean every situation has to end up as a penal situation.”

Big changes coming to local libraries Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Voters in Hamilton County in 2018 agreed to double the amount they pay for libraries. In 2020, they’ll see what they’re getting in return. This year, the oldest libraries in the system will get a new life and a new look will be planned for the Downtown branch, according to the 10-year, $150 million plan unveiled Wednesday, Jan.8 for the 41 branches of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. The 2018 levy will bring in an extra $19 million a year to help the eﬀ orts. The levy raised the annual library taxes paid by the homeowner of a $100,000 home from $28 to $63. Here are some highlights of what to expect this year:

The return of the Price Hill library The 111-year-old Price Hill library could re-open this year for the ﬁ rst time since a chunk of ceiling fell onto the main ﬂ oor in July 2018. It has sat shuttered on the hilltop on Warsaw Avenue ever since. Price Hill residents have had to borrow their books from a small space in the Price Hill Community Recreation Center

for the past 17 months. The old library will re-open by the end of 2020 or early 2021 after an estimated $6.5 million to $7.5 million in work is completed. When it does, the library will have a new elevator, ramps and more than double the space.

Walnut Hills gets historic renovation Not much has changed to the Walnut Hills library since it opened in 1905 with a grant from steel magnate Andrew Carnegie. The library’s oldest branch will get renovated for the ﬁ rst time in its history. Oﬃ cials expect the work to start toward the end of the year. The estimated $11 million to $12 million project will add an elevator and also double the meeting space. The renovations will keep the historic structure intact, but build an addition alongside it. Walnut Hills is one of six Carnegie libraries in the Cincinnati library system.

Downtown library facelift planned The design will start this year on a revamped plaza outside the Vine Street entrance of the downtown library. The current entrance is raised atop

paved steps. The plan is to take the steps out and create an open, street-level plaza. The fountain there could get relocated. The rationale is to create a more open atmosphere and better visibility from the street, according to the plan. The exact budget and timeframe for this haven’t been set, library spokesman Chris Rice said.

Elmwood and Reading branches get TLC in 2020

This is a rendering of the new front entrance to the Price Hill library.

The Elmwood library will get new paint, carpeting and furniture. The Reading branch will get a laptop kiosk. You can view the library’s detailed improvement plans for its 41 branches at cincinnatilibrary.org/ nextgenerationlibrary.

Eye-catching food trends for 2020, and making fi sh in parchment Simple steelhead trout en Papillote (fi sh in parchment) Usually, I top the seasoned fi sh with julienned vegetables like onion, zucchini and carrot mixed with garlic and olive oil. Then a couple lemon slices. And a little white wine for flavor and promoting steam. But not today. All I had on hand was olive oil, seafood seasoning, lemon juice and parsley, so that’s what I used. The parchment didn’t puff much since there was very little liquid, but the fi sh turned out yummy. Now if you can, defi nitely make it with the vegetable topping; but if you can’t, I want you to try this simply seasoned version.

Fish wrapped in parchment ready for oven.

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

A few food trends for 2020 have really caught my eye. Among them is the color blue. No, not blueberries. Or even blue potatoes. Have I peaked your interest? Read on. Purple yams Ube is the new “it” root veggie – actually more purple than blue. It’s showing up in ice creams and donuts. Mountain spinach Orach, called mountain spinach, is being haled as the new kale. Orach has a bluish purple tint. It won’t bolt to seed as quickly as spinach. Butterﬂ y pea The most intriguing of blue foods is butterﬂ y pea vine. I’ve never heard of it. Have you? Flowers are brilliant blue and make a super healthy tea. I’ll be planting it and will keep you informed.

Ingredients

Fish cooked in parchment. PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

For each serving, 6-8 oz. ﬁ sh, skinned and checked for bones Olive oil

Here’s a couple more trends important to me, and, I hope to you: Caring for the planet Watch for edible (?!) and biodegradable packaging, and reusable everything. Sustainable farming/aquaculture You’ve probably heard of sustainable and regenerative farming for both plants and soil. Then there’s aquaculture – farm raised fi sh. It continues to evolve. Both wild and farm raised fi sh can be delicious and healthy. It depends on adherence to sustainable practices, so make informed choices. We’re determined to eat more healthy fi sh, so I made steelhead trout and roasted it in parchment. Steelhead looks similar to salmon, and has a mild salmon fl avor. It’s usually less expensive. Anything baked in parchment looks impressive, though the technique is easy. Here’s how to make this simple, delicious and, need I say, pretty, dish.

Lemon juice Favorite fi sh seasoning Parchment paper Parsley for garnish (opt) Instructions Preheat oven to 375. Place each piece of fi sh in center of rather large square (or heart shaped piece) of parchment. Drizzle on a little olive oil, lemon juice, seasoning and, if using, parsley. Fold parchment over fi sh. Seal edges very tightly in 1⁄ 44” folds, sort of like crimping pie dough. That creates a half moon shape. Place on baking sheet and roast 10-12 minutes. Fish flakes easily when done. Don’t overcook. Place parchment packages on plates. Open carefully, and if you want, slide fi sh off parchment, making sure to get all juices. More fi sh that roasts well Salmon, arctic char, flounder or other white fi sh. No parchment? No problem. Use foil. It won’t puff, but as long as you seal it (no need to crimp), you’ll have good results.

Viewpoints Teens do really dumb stuﬀ , me included Byron McCauley Guest Columnist Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK

I did a few really dumb things as a teen and young adult. The dumbest thing by far happened one Saturday night when I was 16. With my classmate as a passenger, I drove mother’s blue, vinyl-topped Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight luxury sedan, drunker than Otis Campbell trying to sober up in Sheriff Andy Griffi th’s Mayberry jail. We illegally bought beer in my sleepy hometown. The Schlitz malt liquor we chose was cheap, potent and really bad. Ask Judge Ted Berry. We did not die. We were not captured by our local sheriff ’s deputies. This was only by the grace of God. We both made it home, but the last thing I remember was the tiger that leaped in front of the car before I pulled into the driveway. I vomited. I never repeated that mistake. And I don’t remember when my driving privileges were reinstated. A few weeks ago, at Northgate Mall, police said “hundreds” of teens decided to violate their curfew and rout the mall. This event, organized on social media, was a very dumb thing to do. Apparently, this has become somewhat of a silly, national trend. It caused businesses to lose money and it cost communities thousands in public safety dollars.

Meanwhile, Kenwood Mall upped its security presence during the holidays and banned anyone under 18 to shop there without a parent or guardian who was over 21. A white mom with a black son told me he was mistreated as a result of that policy, and I reported that. Teenagers don’t think about the ramiﬁ cations of their actions. They are guided by their id, and the id of a 15year-old is a dangerous thing. Letter writers and critics emailed and called me after the Kenwood Mall column, accusing me of all manner of things, but mostly for not calling out the teens and the mischief. They wanted me to call out their parents – mostly their “single moms” for not instilling discipline in them. They wanted me to blame their “absentee” dads for their lack of a moral compass (Note: Not all kids waking in the mall come from broken homes). I hear them, but that’s not who I’m going to blame because that would be way too simple and not super helpful. There is a bit of truth in all of the perspectives. There are also moral absolutes, but this is not completely a question of morality. Yes, the teens were wrong to do what they did at Northgate. And they were lucky that law enforcement showed a measure of restraint in de-escalating the situation, which could have quickly gone south. Instead of taking a bat to mailboxes or toilet-papering the big oak tree in Mr. Johnson’s front yard, the

Hundreds of teens showed up at Northgate Mall in Colerain Township past curfew, officials said. MADELINE MITCHELL/ THE ENQUIRER

modern idea of fun is going to the local mall, violating curfew and maybe even getting into a fi st-fi ght. Today, the ramifi cations of this behavior have never been more. A relatively small mistake that gets a kid arrested and into the justice system has lifelong eff ects, from not attaining higher education to creating employment barriers for themselves. Avondale civic leader Ozie Davis, a dad who runs the Queen City Youth Development Program (QCYD), was on social media the night things went awry trying to get a handle on what was going on. “Today’s teen is evolving in the most toxic and most traumatic environment ever, as the Internet, lack of family unity and social media have changed the landscape while all systems in assisting our youth lag behind,” he told me. In my day, this was not the case. The stakes did not seem as high. We could not access social media, summon 100

friends and intimidate shoppers en masse. Nor would we ever think of doing so. However, even though I had a mom and dad in my home and heavy chores to do every day, I put my life and my friend’s life at risk by driving drunk in my mother’s car. And I was glad mom kept my mistake from the community village, because of every aunt, uncle and elder in my church had permission to discipline me, and I don’t doubt they would have. Kids need to learn to take personal responsibility for their mistakes. And we need to allow them to learn from their mistakes. Parents need to take personal responsibility for their kids’ actions. And the village – from great organizations like Boys & Girls Clubs to caring adults who see a need and ﬁ ll it – has an opportunity to stand in the gap for all of them.

Sports How locals did in U.S. Army All-American Bowl Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Wyoming quarterback Evan Prater, Mr. Ohio Football, was joined by Princeton’s Paris Johnson Jr. and Covington Catholic’s Michael Mayer in the Army All-American Bowl in San Antionio. ENQUIRER FILE

A trio of Tri-State football standouts participated in Saturday’s U.S. Army All-American Bowl Saturday afternoon in San Antonio’s Alamodome, all for the East squad. Though the West won the game 33-20, all experienced top-notch exposure among the nation’s ﬁ nest prep players. Covington Catholic’s Michael Mayer made an early impact in the game catching a 37-yard touchdown pass from Clemson-bound DJ Uiagalelei late in the ﬁ rst quarter. Mayer was the Kentucky Gatorade Player of the Year for the state 5-A champion Covington Catholic Colonels. “The game was a great experience,” Mayer said. “I got to bond with future Notre Dame teammates and other great players I’ll be playing against in college.

Adidas did a great job with the event and I was very glad I decided to play in it.” Prior to the game, Princeton High School’s Paris Johnson Jr. made the most impact picking up the U.S. Army Anthony Munoz Lineman of the Year Award and the Man of the Year Award Friday evening. The ﬁ ve-star recruit was one of nine future Ohio State Buckeyes playing in the contest and played the most snaps of the locals as the starting left tackle. “I was extremely honored to receive both awards,” Johnson said afterward. “I am the second player ever in the history of the game to receive two awards, along with Derrick Brown (DT) at Auburn. It speaks a lot about what I stand for and the values my family have instilled in me.” Johnson is one of ﬁ ve noteworthy locals heading to the Buckeyes including

Princeton teammate Darrion Henry, Elder’s Joe Royer and Jakob James, La Salle’s Jake Seibert and Miyan Williams of Winton Woods. He’s already started a foundation to help young athletes who struggle to attend football camps and disabled veterans. “I hold a special place in my heart for veterans because their sacriﬁ ce allows me to play football,” Johnson told NBC Sports. “I love giving back to kids because I feel along the way people have invested in me as far as helping with my training, my education, always making sure I had extra resources to always compete in the classroom and on the ﬁ eld.” Wyoming’s Evan Prater was the second quarterback to enter the game after starter DJ Uiagalelei and before Florida State commit Tate Rademaker.

La Salle’s Jaylen Johnson will be staying in Ohio. On Tuesday, Jan. 7, the junior defensive back announced on Twitter his verbal commitment to play football at Ohio State University. A three-star recruit, Johnson is ranked by 247sports as Ohio’s No. 11 player in the Class of 2021 and the No. 16

safety in the nation. Johnson had a total of 15 scholarship oﬀ ers, which included Cincinnati, Indiana and Kentucky. Johnson becomes the eighth commit in Ohio State’s Class of 2021 and the ﬁ fth from Ohio, joining Pickerington North defensive end Jack Sawyer, Revere offensive tackle Ben Christman, Massillon Washington wide receiver Jayden Ballard and Ironton linebacker Reid Carrico.

This past season, Johnson was a second team All-Ohio and a ﬁ rst team all-district selection, helping lead the Lancers to their fourth Division II state championship in six years. Johnson, who was ﬁ rst team allGCL-South, had 61 tackles and a forced fumble last season on a La Salle defense that posted three shutouts and surrendered just 10.6 points per game in the postseason.

Maple Knoll Village named Gold Winner of 2019 MarCom Awards Maple Knoll Communities, Inc. a non-profi t, continuum of services provider for older adults in the Greater Cincinnati area, was recently named a gold winner in the 2019 MarCom Awards. The nonprofi t organization was named a Gold Winner for a new commercial recently shot Coney Island Amusement Park in Cincinnati, Ohio, in the Television (Broadcast & Cable)/ Single Spot category. The goal of the commercial was to advertise Maple Knoll Village in a fun and innovative way, while breaking down the typical stereotypes that most people have of retirement homes. MarCom Awards honor excellence in marketing and communication while recognizing the creativity, hard work and generosity of industry professionals. Since its inception in 2004, MarCom has evolved into one of the largest, most-respected creative competitions in the world. Each year about 6,000 print and digital entries are submitted from dozens of countries. The Gold Award is presented to those entries judged to exceed the high standard of the industry norm. Approximately 24 percent were Gold Winners. Being a Gold Winner is a tremendous achievement symbolized by the intricately detailed MarCom statuette. The MarCom graces the trophy cases of some of the top businesses and communication fi rms in the world. The statuette was created by Society Awards, a high-end design and manufacturing fi rm that recently updates the Golden Globe, Clio, MTV, YouTube, and Academy of Country Music awards. Maple Knoll Communities, Inc. includes the exceptional retirement communities of Maple Knoll Village and the Knolls of Oxford, Maple Knoll Outreach Services for Seniors, three aff ordable HUD Senior Living Residences, Village Home Health & Hospice, WMKV 89.3 and 89.9 FM Radio Station, a Montessori Child Center, and the Hemsworth Wellness Center.

Cincinnati Pickleball Club launches with ambitious vision After years of watching pickleball clubs form in other cities, creating active communities of players in the process, Mitch Dunn and Karen Games decided a Cincinnati-based club was long overdue. They launched the Cincinnati Pickleball Club on Jan. 6. “There is already a phenomenal community of players in Cincinnati, but the city lacks infrastructure that we think players will really beneﬁ t from,” said Games. The club’s vision is to transform Cincinnati into the hub of Midwest pickleball. “A great vision should be audacious. So, when we thought about ours, we thought really big. There is no

reason why the city should settle for anything less than being seen as one of the true leaders for pickleball in the country,” said Dunn. The club’s mission is to facilitate the growth of pickleball in and around Cincinnati via partnership, volunteerism, and innovative thinking in order to meet the needs of all Cincinnati players. The club welcomes anyone to join, regardless of skill level, and will be focused on building an environment that helps people learn the game, improve their skills, and connect socially. “That’s how we will achieve our end goal, by making it easier to play and to help people progress,” said Games. As anyone who has picked up a paddle knows, the sport is addictive. It is not uncommon to see players go from being introduced to the sport to playing multiple days a week in a matter of months. “The time is right to build a club focused both on the development of the sport and the development of the city. We think the two can and should go hand in hand,” said Dunn. The club’s virtual home base is cincinnatipickleball.com. The site is where players register to become members, ﬁ nd places to play in the city, and stay on top of the latest news coming out of the club. The club can also be found on Facebook (@cincinnatipickleballclub) and Instagram (@cincinnatipickleball). The club’s annual one-year membership is just $20 for singles and $30 for couples.
