‘She was shaking like a leaf’

Rumpke worker rescues puppy found in backpack Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A puppy is safe and a Rumpke driver is being called a hero. Aaron Kinsel was working in Colerain Township on Jan. 27 morning when he noticed a backpack with movement inside the bag. To Kinsel’s surprise, he found a puppy that was around 10 weeks old, shaking and terriﬁ ed in 20-degree weather. “She looked up and saw me and saw that I was trying to help and she kind of had this look of relief,” he said.

The brindle boxer mix has been named Tipper, after the mechanism on the back of trucks that help lift trash into the vehicle. Kinsel wrapped the puppy in one of his sweatshirts to keep her warm. It became a team eﬀ ort after that. Kinsel called his supervisor who then contacted the safety team. “She was shaking like a leaf,” said Kendra Catherman, region safety manager for Rumpke. “We immediately noticed that she had some lameness in her back legs. She looked a little weak, she looked a little dehydrated. With that, we realized, we gotta get this puppy to a vet.” The brindle boxer mix has been named Tipper, after the mechanism on

the back of trucks that help lift trash into the vehicle. Tipper’s leg is fractured in two places, at the hip and at the knee, and will be amputated. She’s expected to make a full recovery. “All we can do is speculate whether someone threw her away. But seeing her lameness, I think someone discarded this puppy because she was broken. And they just put her in a bag, zipped her up, and put her by the waste cans,” Catherman said. Rumpke will pay for all of Tipper’s medical bills. And once Tipper is cleared by the vet, the puppy will be heading home with Kinsel’s family.

Photographer accused of breaking into Great American Tower faces 4 felonies Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Issac Wright was arrested in Arizona in December on an open warrant out of Cincinnati after he allegedly broke into the Great American Tower rooftop to take photos. Law enforcement across the country was told he was a potentially armed and dangerous military veteran with posttraumatic stress disorder resulting in a highway arrest involving a helicopter and as many as 10 armed oﬃ cers. Wright said he does not break into buildings but admits his photography work blurs the legal lines of trespassing. He has taken photos from the tops of bridges and buildings all over the country. Wright was initially charged with two felonies: burglary and possessing criminal tools. On Jan. 14, a Hamilton County grand jury indicted him on those charges plus and an additional count of burglary and a felony-level inducing panic charge. Court documents state the "public inconvenience or alarm" resulted in economic harm of between $7,500 and $150,000. Wright's lawyer, Laurence Haas, said he is surprised by the new charges, one of which appears not to involve Great American Tower, but another building. Haas said he is "eagerly awaiting an explanation" of the inducing panic charges. From jail, Wright has said since his arrest that he feels the felonies are excessive and questioned why Cincinnati

Ex-pastor who coerced teen into sex acts sentenced Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The former pastor of a Sharonville church who prosecutors say coerced a teen girl to engage in sex acts with him in his church oﬃ ce was sentenced Jan. 26 to 10 years in prison. Cesar Agusto Guerrero Jr., 42, was the pastor at Misión Cristiana El Calvario. The crimes involving the 17-year-old girl, who was a church member, happened in the summer of 2019. Guerrero was arrested in August 2019, after court documents say multiple girls accused him of sexual abuse.

Guerrero has admitted using Facebook Messenger and text messages to arrange meetings with the girl. He told her “God was talking to him,” according to court documents, and the only way to get out of the dark place was for her to have sexual relations with him. Guerrero referred to this as a “cleansing process.” He also used Facebook Messenger to convince the girl to send him sexually explicit photos and engage in at least one sexually explicit video call. He cited biblical verses when making the requests, prosecutors said. Guerrero was sentenced Jan. 26 in federal court in Cincinnati by U.S. Dis-

Dayton man admits conspiring in 2018 Target World gun theft Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Dayton man was one of multiple people who conspired to steal 58 guns from Target World in Sharonville in 2018, offi cials said. At a hearing Jan. 25 in federal court in Dayton, 21-year-old Miyauhn Vinyard said he and other co-conspirators parked in a parking lot adjacent to the store, then cut off an exterior door lock, according to the U.S. Attorney's Offi ce. Surveillance video showed fi ve people wearing hooded sweatshirts or other head coverings entering the store. Video also showed similarly dressed people running by the store's exterior. Vineyard and others "smashed display cases in the retail area of the store and stole 58 fi rearms," the U.S. Attorney's Offi ce said. Two days later, federal ATF agents re-

covered 10 of the stolen guns through a third-party sale, offi cials said. Vineyard pleaded guilty Jan. 25 to conspiring to steal fi rearms from a federal fi rearms licensee. He faces up to fi ve years in prison. Two other people face the same charges in connection with the theft, court records show. One is scheduled to plead guilty next month. In a statement, U.S. Attorney David DeVillers said the case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a Department of Justice eff ort aimed at reducing violent crime. Through the program, DeVillers said stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in the community and develop ways to address them. The program focuses enforcement eff orts on the most violent off enders and partners with local prevention and re-entry programs reductions in crime.

Man, 79, who sexually abused girl in photos sentenced to 20 years Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A 79-year-old Green Township man who documents say had collected thousands of images of child pornography was sentenced Jan. 27 to 20 years in prison. Thomas Winkelbach pleaded guilty last year in federal court in Cincinnati to sexually exploiting a girl who was between 1 and 2 years old. Child pornography charges were dropped as part of the plea. According to court documents, Winkelbach used a digital camera to take sexually explicit photos of the girl touching his genitals, as well as photos of him masturbating in front of the girl. Winkelbach told investigators that he and his wife babysat the child, the documents say. After Winkelbach’s plea in July 2020, federal prosecutors sought forfeiture of property that contained “an unlawful visual depiction and/or was used or intended to be used to commit the of-

fense.” Among the items U.S. District Judge Michael Barrett ordered Winkelbach to forfeit were 25 hard drives,10 cameras, eight laptops, tablets or computers, and multiple ﬂ ash drives, memory cards and CD-ROMs. For years, according to investigators, Winkelbach was searching for, downloaded and traded child pornography on the internet. He estimated he had between 5,000 and 10,000 images and videos of child pornography, court documents say. He was identiﬁ ed by investigators after an agent was able to download child pornography from Winkelbach’s IP address, court documents say. Winkelbach’s home in the 5200 block of Race Road was searched in October 2019, but he wasn’t home because he was vacationing in Florida, according to the documents. After his arrest in December 2019, he admitted to police he had been downloading child pornography but did “not know why or how he started,” court documents say.

‘Not all chops are the same’: Learn the basics with easy, versatile pork schnitzel Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Have you ever stood in the pork chop section at the grocery and wondered what the diff erence was between the cuts? I’m here to tell you not all chops are the same. They can be really tender, quick cooking and mild in fl avor. Or they can be tougher yet more fl avorful and require longer cooking time. Here’s a quick primer on popular chops. Check out my site for photos. First, pork chops all come from the loin, which runs from the hip to the shoulder. That’s also the place where tenderloin is. Except for shoulder/ blade chops, I like to buy a thicker chop. Shoulder or blade chops These have dark colored meat, good amounts of fat and connective tissues and some bone. Blade chops have lots of fl avor but are tough. Cook slowly with moist heat, like a braise. Good for the slow cooker. Rib chops Sometimes called center cut rib, there’s a bone running along one side and some fat. The bone attached is actually a baby back rib. Tender and lean, rib chops are mild fl avored. Quick cooking is best. Loin chops Sometimes called center loin, top loin or loin chop. Some will have a T-shaped bone that has loin on one side and tenderloin on the other. Very lean with mild fl avor, loin chops cook at diff erent rates. Quick cooking is best. Sirloin chops Higher percentage of bone than other chops with really good fl avor but tough unless braised. Boneless chops Basically top loin or rib chops with bones removed. Lean with very little connective tissue or fat. No bones means mild fl avor, less than the others. Cook quick for best results. Brining Not really necessary but produces tender, fl avorful chops. A simple brine is 1/4 cup salt to 1 quart water. Put chops in brine and let sit 30 minutes or up to a couple of hours before cooking. Temperature No higher than 145. Pork might be a bit pink but that’s OK. Chops continue to raise in temperature a bit after cooking. Now that you know basics, how about a yummy pork schnitzel to make for supper?

One man’s search for the best Chicago-style pizzas in Cincy Keith Pandolﬁ Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Recently, sitting on my sofa, staring at the wall, I found myself craving Uno’s pizza. It came out of nowhere, this craving. Part of it, I guess, was nostalgia. I don’t think I’ve had pizza from Uno in years. The other part was that I’d simply forgotten just how much I love deepdish pizza: the gustatory pleasures of those thick, belt-busting pies, pressed with fennel-spiked sausage, green bell peppers and gooey cheese (lots of gooey cheese) covered with deep, caramelized tomato sauce. Yes, yes, I know people have their various complaints or even dismissals when it comes Chicago pizza. None other than Anthony Bourdain once called it, “a crime against food” and “some kind of Midwestern mutation of pizza.” But I’ve never understood why it upsets people so much. It’s basically the cheesy winter casserole of pizzas, something that can comfort and sustain us through dark and dismal winters (especially this one). Is it really pizza? I mean ... honestly, who cares? I knew the Uno locations I’d long ago frequented in Clifton, Downtown and Anderson Township were long gone. So I Googled the nearest one only to fi nd THERE ARE NO MORE UNO LOCATIONS IN GREATER CINCINNATI! The last one, in West Chester Township, closed at the beginning of 2020. These days, you’ll have to drive to downtown Dayton to fi nd the closest one. I suppose I could have gone to a grocery store and self-scanned a frozen version, but it wouldn’t be the same. And thus, another Google search: “Chicago Pizza” “Cincinnati.” Four results came up, only one of which was familiar to me. Mio’s Pizzeria, with locations throughout Cincinnati, is known for its “stuff ed-crust” pizzas, though I’ve never thought of it as a true Chicago-style pizza. The others were located in strip malls and suburbs throughout the area: Bourbon House in

Chicago-style deep dish pizza from Bourbon House Pizza in Florence, Kentucky. ANDREA REEVES/THE ENQUIRER

Florence, Two Cities Pizza Co. in Mason, and Werkhaus Pizza in Green Township. And so, to satisfy my craving, not to mention another deadline here at The Enquirer, I decided to order takeout from all three of them. Before we get started, here’s a primer on the origins of Chicago deep-dish. In 1943, former University of Texas football star Ike Sewell and his buddy Ric Riccardo opened what would become the ﬁ rst Pizzeria Uno in Chicago. It is disputed who came up with the recipe for deepdish pizza, who came up with the idea of creating a true “pizza pie,” with dough on the bottom and top sandwiching copious amounts of cheese, vegetables and, this being Chicago, sausage, but many credit the restaurant’s bartender, Rudy Malnati Sr. According to Uno’s website, the crust was meant to be buttery with “a tall edge, like a fruit pie.” Its gut-busting density representative of the city’s hearty appetites. The restaurant took oﬀ . So much so that Sewell opened a second location, dubbed Pizzeria Due, in 1955. The rest ... well, you know.

Day 1: Bourbon House Pizza, Florence The drive took longer than expected, shooting me oﬀ Interstate 71 South toward a quiet Kentucky subdivision and into the parking lot of a small strip mall with numbered parking spots, one of which was assigned to me when I called in my order. There’s not much to say about the transaction. A kindly woman ran outside in her mask; took my credit card; dropped the pizza in my passenger seat and sent me on my way so I could clear the spot for the next customer. Such is dining in the time of COVID-19. Eating (and doing this job) during the pandemic has become a frustrating affair. Since I limit the amount of indoor dining I do these days (I’m not saying it’s unsafe, but I’d rather not do it as much as this job would normally demand), I can’t tell you about Bourbon House’s atmosphere or service; the conditions of its restrooms; whether the music was too loud, the lighting too severe. All I can tell you is that my server wore her mask, was kind, and that my pizza was ready

on time. Five stars. I hit traffi c on my way home due to a crash on I-71. The ambulances had already left, and all I could see was the wreckage and several cops and witnesses discussing what they’d seen. I did what I always do when I come across such sadness. I said a little prayer for whoever was involved: “Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Please, God, let them be OK,” followed by another “Father, Son, Holy Spirit.” Looking over at the stack of pizzas in the passenger seat, I realized how lucky I was that my only complaint was that I couldn’t go inside the restaurant. I was on my way home to enjoy dinner with my family inside a warm house on a cold, January day. And I hoped that whoever was involved in that accident would be able to do the same. Placing the pizzas on our dining room table, I opened a bottle of red wine I’d picked up at Elk Creek Vineyards and asked my wife, Amy, to help me assess the haul. I ordered the “Chi Town Favorite,” with sausage, mushrooms and onions. And it looked like a Chicago pizza, alright; thick as a brick and downright intimidating. The toppings, or should I say, fi llings, included big chunks of sausage, ricotta and mozzarella, all pressed tightly, giving us that dense, belly fi lling satisfaction that should have stopped me at two slices, though it took four for me to call it quits. The crust was fl aky, with a nice chew, but it’s the tomato sauce that gives this pizza its distinct character: deeply caramelized and chunky. As far Chicagostyle pizzas go, this is the most authentic version you’ll fi nd around here. That’s probably because the owner of Bourbon House, Mary Brandstetter, hails from Chicago; Chicago pizza is a part of her heritage; her remembrance of things past. And we all know a pinch of nostalgia, and a longing for home are two of the best secret ingredients a dish can contain. See PIZZA, Page 6A

NKY family train business chugs on with new leader USA TODAY NETWORK

A Kentucky company that creates botanical garden railway empires full of familiar landmarks keeps on chugging on under a new family leader. Alexandria-based Applied Imagination, founded 30 years ago by Paul Busse, is now under the leadership of his daughter Laura Busse Dolan. She is now the company’s president and CEO. Botanical gardens around the U.S. employ the company to create displays that are almost entirely made out leaves, acorns, seedpods, twigs and branches.

Applied Imagination president Laura Busse Dolan and her father, the founder, Paul Busse.

The company employs people with titles like botanical architects who, for example, built 200 miniature buildings for the New York Botanical Gardens annual display including a mini Brooklyn Bridge out of wood and stone that spans a walkway above people’s heads. New York and Cincinnati’s Krohn Conservatory are two of the longest-running Applied Imagination displays. A display at the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina has an 11-foot model of the mansion, Busse Dolan said. “You can stand back from it and easily not realize it’s made out of natural materials,” she said. The former marketing brand manager had always stayed close to the family business. She said her father sat her down in 2017 to ask if she would change careers. He has had Parkinson’s disease for 10 years. For a while, her brother Brian took over the company until leaving to pursue another career. Busse Dolan said her dad passed on his love of trains to her. “I guess I’ve always been a daddy’s girl,” she said. “We’re buddies.””She still goes to the man who took her on weekend morning rides to watch trains for input on projects. Busse Dolan worked as a side job con-

Day 2: Two Cities Pizza, Mason When it comes to its atmosphere and even its architecture, Two-Cities Pizza Company in Mason is a standout. Located in the city’s old city hall, the art deco building is downright beautiful. As soon as she walked inside, Sylvia, my fi ve-year-old daughter, was transfi xed by the lobby’s municipal-chic tile walls and marble fl oors. “Daddy, look!!!” she screamed when she saw the Two Cities logo projected from the ceiling onto the fl oor. I love how kids always notice the little fl ourishes that are completely lost on adults. “Can we eat here, Daddy? Please?” When I told her that we couldn’t, she performed one of those infamous fake crying jags, which, being the sucker that I am, always lead me into some Dayton Peace Accord-level negotiations. Our bargain that day was that, once we loaded the pizzas into the car, we could go to a park, though I warned her we’d have to be quick, since my favorite (nonCincinnati) football team, the New Orleans Saints, were playing at 4:50. And so, since this was my fi rst time visiting Mason, another Google search: “Parks. Mason, Ohio.” When we arrived at Pine Hill Lakes Park, Sylvia bee-lined it for the playground, but the smell of the pizza coming from the back seat kept me tethered to my Subaru. I took one of the boxes out and placed it on the trunk. While keeping a close eye on Sylvia, I devoured it without apology (or napkins) as sauce spilled on my Drew Brees jersey. A little boy walking toward the park with his Gym Body Family gave me a

profound look of disgust. For the uninitiated, the name Two Cities speaks to the pizzeria’s specialization in two distinct styles of pizza – Chicago and New York, the latter of which I tend to avoid since I moved back from Brooklyn to Cincinnati. You’ve heard that theory about how the water makes New York pizza New York pizza, right? Well, let’s just say I think it’s true. Plus, you can’t fold most New Yorkstyle pizza in Cincinnati; the char on the bottom is missing, the cheese is all wrong and ... anyway, this is a pretentious, I-livedin-New-York-for-16-years rant for another time. Now, back to the park, where I devoured my Chicago-style pizza sort of like Saturn devouring his children. The victim of my appetite was the Wrigley Pie, a magniﬁ cent specimen stuﬀ ed with mushrooms, spinach, red onions, feta and mozzarella topped with summery red sauce. While not nearly as dense as the pizza at Bourbon House, this one had its own selling points. The tomato sauce was light and chunky, and each bite gave way without so much a pull. Adding to the Wrigley’s farmers market personality were the feta, spinach and crunchy red onions that led me to rationalize that it was some-

how healthy. The crust was crisp and buttery, though I couldn’t put my ﬁ nger on its distinct ﬂ avor until I realized that, Holy Moly, it was that of a Stella D’oro breadstick, which is anything but an insult. While I loved the Wri-

structing buildings and learning from her dad all about G scale locomotives. “Having to run these installations you really need to know everything you need to know about model trains,” she said. The U.S. Botanical Garden and Glenwood Gardens in Woodlawn are two others of the more than dozen Applied Imagination displays. The American Society of Landscape Architects awarded Paul Busse a gold

gley, another Two Cities pizza I ordered, called the Rhythm Road, was even better. I can only guess that it’s their version of Uno’s famous pizza skins, a classic appetizer where the pizza is stuﬀ ed with mashed potatoes and topped with cheese and bacon. Two Cities’ version takes Uno’s idea several steps further by oﬀ ering it as a full-scale pizza and adding scallions, mozzarella and drizzles of chipotle aioli and garlic crema. Of all the pizzas I tried, this one might be the most addictive.

Day 3: Werkhaus Pizza, Green Township; Mio’s Pizzeria, Clifton Werkhaus, located inside of an old “haus” on Werk Road, has sort of a 1980s LaRosa’s vibe to it. What I mean by that is it’s comfortable, casual, family friendly and feels more

like a red sauce Italian restaurant than a pizzeria. (Their menu includes many Italian American mainstays such as spaghetti carbonara, homemade lasagna and a calzone/sandwich my predecessor, Polly Campbell, fell madly in love with back in 2015.) For my own purposes, I picked up a Chicago Classic pizza (Italian sausage, onion, green pepper and three cheeses). But before I took it home, I decided to order one last pizza, this time from Mio’s Pizzeria in Clifton. I fi gured it made sense since it would take me the same amount of time to get there (20 minutes) as it would to prepare the pie. Like a lot of Cincinnatians, I grew up with Mio’s, but never really thought about its stuff ed crust pizza being Chicago-style, even though one of them is called the Windy City Classic. Back home with Amy and Sylvia, both of whom were admittedly wary of eating Chicago pizza for dinner three nights in a row, I set the boxes on the room table so Amy and I could wearily compare notes. The Chicago Classic, from Werkhaus Pizza, is a monster of a pie, more similar to the one from Bourbon House in its density and Chicago-level authenticity. Of all the crusts I sampled, this one was probably my favorite. Its scrumptious char leading me to break some off and eat it like a cracker. As a fan of green bell

peppers – Why do so many people dislike green bell peppers? Again, a story for another time – and sweet, crunchy onions, the pizza was pressed and packed with both. And it wore its Abe-Fromansausage- king-of-Chicago credentials like a boss, with plenty of Windy Citystyle sausage. It’s a damn good pie, one that (fi nally) knocked that intense Uno craving I had three days prior into submission. But before I was fi nished, there was one last bite to try, the “baby”sized stuff ed Windy City Classic pie from Mio’s. And while my belt was already reaching two notches out, once I started, I couldn’t stop eating it. With its doughy crust and relative thinness, I’m not entirely sure if the Classic qualifi es as a true Chicago deep-dish pizza. But I’m including it here anyway since, as far as I’m concerned, Cincinnati traditions are just as worth celebrating.

St. Bernard honors Roger Bacon senior, Ohio Mr. Football with Corey Kiner Day on Jan. 22 James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Corey Kiner has won many honors in his high school football career. The Roger Bacon senior had his day recently, as the school’s home village of St. Bernard proclaimed Jan. 22, 2021, as Corey Kiner Day. Village mayor Jonathan Stuchell gave Kiner a framed proclamation of the award in the school’s fi ne arts center in front of teammates and other supporters. Kiner rushed for 7,130 career yards and led the Spartans to the OHSAA playoff s for the fi rst time since 2010. He racked up the yards despite being taken out early from lopsided contests and having a shortened 2020 season due to the pandemic. MaxPreps also recently named him the Ohio Player of the Year. What's more, Kiner received his award as the Penn Station Athlete of the Month, a promotion by Enquirer media partner WXIXTV Fox 19 that will eventually culminate in an athlete of the year winner. Sports anchor Joe Danneman was on hand to present Kiner with those honors in a presentation that will air on the news channel.

La Salle senior quarterback and state-champion Zach Branam announced on Twitter Jan. 25 that he decommitted from Valparaiso University and has committed to the U.S. Naval Academy. Branam took over as La Salle’s starting quarterback as a junior in 2019. In two seasons, he established himself as one of the top dualthreats in the city, racking up more than 3,000 passing yards, nearly 2,800 rushing yards and 65 total touchdowns. Branam led the Lancers to a 21-5 record as a starter, including a Greater Catholic League-South title, two regional crowns and a Division II state championship in 2019. Branam was the GCL-South CoOff ensive player of the year in 2019 and was the Division II Off ensive Player of the Year in Ohio. La Salle head coach Pat McLaughlin speculated Navy as a good landing spot for his star quarterback when he spoke with The Enquirer’s Scott Springer in August. “I really believe he is a great fi t at the Naval Academy or West Point,” McLaughlin said. “He’s a great kid off the fi eld, on the fi eld. He makes plays with arms, makes plays with his feet. The kids respond to him. As soon as he walks on the fi eld, as soon as he gets in the huddle, he’s one of the best leaders I’ve ever been around.”

La Salle's Zach Branam had a stellar game on the ground for the Lancers in thier 35-10 win over Winton Woods, Nov. 6, 2020. GEOFF BLANKENSHIP FOR THE ENQUIRER

Former Winton Woods High School standout Chris Oats, the University of Kentucky Wildcats junior linebacker who has spent the past several months recovering from a medical issue he suffered last May, is standing up in a photo shared Jan. 26 in a tweet, which added that it was a ﬁ rst for Oats in his recovery. The Kentucky Wildcats played the 2020 football season in honor of Oats.

UK announced a diﬀ erent player each week would wear Oats’ No. 22, and showed support for Oats’ family as well as a GoFundMe page to assist with medical bills. In addition, the Wildcats wore #22OATSSTRONG wristbands, and concluded each team practice with “22!” - per ukathletics.com. In May, UK announced that Oats was hospitalized with an undisclosed medical issue not related to COVID-19. Oats returned to his Cincinnati-area home from a rehabilitation center in October. Oats appeared in 12 of 13 games as a sophomore, totaling 46 tackles.

Veteran coach Thomas to lead Fairﬁ eld girls soccer Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Jan. 27. FAIRFIELD - Pending board approval Fairfi eld High School’s girls soccer program will be run by one of the more decorated veteran coaches in Greater Cincinnati. Fairfi eld athletic director Aaron Blankenship has tabbed former Wyoming High boys coach Steve Thomas to lead the girl’s team. “I think for him this was one of those dream job situations,” Blankenship said. “His kids went to Fairfi eld. His son, Ben Thomas (2006), was one of the best boys

soccer players we’ve ever had. It’s kind of a full-circle thing for him to come back. We’re thrilled.” Thomas led the Cowboys to three Cincinnati Hills League titles (2014, 2017, 2018) during his 14-year run as boys head coach and holds an Ohio Coach of the Year honor. He resigned to take care of his ailing mother, but still attended Wyoming games and watched his successor Adam Jones. Eventually, the coaching bug returned and Thomas helped out with the Badin Rams girls team last fall as they won a district championship. Living in Fairﬁ eld Township, when the Fairﬁ eld girls job was posted, Thomas again had the itch to lead a program. The veteran used his Southwest Ohio

connections to land the opportunity at Badin. Encouraged by that experience, he applied at Fairfi eld where upon approval he will begin meeting with next fall’s seniors. “I’m looking forward to the high levels of players that we’ll face and the high level of coaching that I’ll certainly be able to learn a lot from,” Thomas said. “There’s so many good coaches in the GMC.” The Fairfi eld team Thomas takes over from Patrick O’Leary was 6-5 last season and 5-4 in the Greater Miami Conference tying Oak Hills for third behind Lakota West and Mason. Fairfi eld last won a girls GMC title in 2017. “It’s a good program,” Blankenship said. “That was part of the allure for him.” Fairfi eld lost to CHL champion Mason

in the postseason to end their 2020 campaign. In 2019, they tied eventual Division I state champion Lakota West. Between 2015-2018 they had just two GMC losses. “It’s very exciting and will be challenging coaching Division II to Division I,” Thomas said. “I’m really looking forward to getting started.”

OHSAA rules on expanded playoﬀ s, winter tournaments Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Jan. 14. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. The Ohio High School Athletic Association Board of Directors approved football regulations Jan. 14 related to the expansion of playoff s. Because of the added week of playoff s approved last May, the season will begin a week earlier with the fi rst Friday of competition starting Aug. 20. Two scrimmages will be permitted between Aug. 6-14 with one or both being a jamboree (where money may be collected). The early start will allow the regular season to conclude Oct. 23 with the fi rst of six weeks of playoff s beginning Oct. 30. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic that aff ected 2020’s playoff set-up, eight teams from Divisions I-VII qualifi ed from each region. This past season saw the OHSAA open up the playoff s to all schools given the shortened season. In 2021 there will be 12 qualifi ers from each region, again based on computer rankings factoring in strength of competition and win-loss record.

For example, in 2019 when such rankings were used, several local teams that were eliminated mathematically would now qualify. Had 12 teams been allowed in 2019, West Clermont, Lakota East, Sycamore and Walnut Hills would have qualifi ed in Division I with 5-5 records. In Division II, Winton Woods, Anderson and Talawanda would have made it when the 2019 system kept Winton Woods at home when they could only get in nine games. Winton Woods defeated eventual Division II champion La Salle that season. In Division III, Hughes, Goshen and Mount Healthy would have been playoff teams as well as Bethel-Tate and McNicholas in Division IV, Mariemont and Clermont Northeastern in Division V, Deer Park in Division VI and Lockland in Division VII. The new expansion will have the top four seeds in each region receiving fi rstround byes then the No. 5 seed playing the No. 12, No. 6 vs. No. 11, No. 7 vs. No. 10 and No. 8 vs. No. 9. In the second round, the No. 1 seed would play the winner of the 8 vs. 9 game; the No. 2 seed will play the winner of 7 vs. 10; the No. 3 seed will play the winner of 6 vs. 11 and the No. 4 seed will play the winner of 5 vs. 12. The expansion will increase the number of football playoff qualifi ers from 224 to 336.

Also Jan. 14, the OHSAA gave updates on winter tournaments: SWIMMING AND DIVING: The state tournament will remain at C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton Feb. 24-27, but the format will be adjusted to remove preliminary sessions in swimming and complete each division in one day (timed fi nals) and allow a minimal number of people on the pool deck. The Division II girls swimming and diving fi nals will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 24, followed by Division II boys on Thursday, Feb. 25, Division I girls on Friday, Feb. 26 and Division I boys on Saturday, Feb. 27. Two spectators will be permitted for each diving state qualifi er, while only one spectator will be permitted for each swimming state qualifi er. Also of note, several sectional and district tournaments do not yet have a pool confi rmed to host the event. GYMNASTICS: The state tournament will remain at Hilliard Bradley High School March 5-6, but the format and some traditional aspects of the state tournament will be adjusted, along with a reduced number of spectators. BOWLING: The state tournaments will remain at Wayne Webb’s Columbus Bowl Feb. 26-27 (Division II) and March 5-6 (Division I). The number of bowlers on qualifying teams will be reduced from eight to six bowlers per the CO-

VID-19 guidelines established in the fall. The number of spectators permitted is still to be determined. ICE HOCKEY: The state tournament venue is to be determined, as it is not yet known if Nationwide Arena will be able to host the event. Also of note, the two district tournaments in Northeast Ohio will both be held at the Brooklyn Recreation Center instead of having one tournament at Kent State University, which is not able to host the event. Spectator limitations are to be determined. WRESTLING: The state tournament will not be held at the Schottenstein Center, which is not able to host the event this year. The OHSAA is seeking three high schools, preferably in Central Ohio due to travel considerations, to each host a division. The district and state tournaments will include split sessions, with seven weight classes competing at a time, followed by a break and then the other seven weight classes. Spectator limitations are to be determined. BASKETBALL: The regional and state tournament sites are all to be determined. It is not yet known which of the previously announced sites will permit events to be held at their venue, or which will allow spectators. The OHSAA intends to use neutral sites for the regional tournaments.

Deadline to nominate volunteers for Jeﬀ erson Award is Feb. 12 The Enquirer

If you have heard of or witnessed the selfl essness of a community member, neighbor or friend, it's time to shine a light on their eff orts. You can now nominate outstanding volunteers in Greater Cincinnati for the Jeff erson Award for Public Service. Nominations are accepted from anyone in the community. Deadline is Friday, Feb. 12, 2021. Three fi nalists will be selected. Go to www.cincinnati.com /jeff ersonawards to fi ll out an application. Bob Herzog of Local 12 will present the Jeff erson Award at the weekly Rotary luncheon, scheduled for noon Thursday, March 25, in the Hilton Netherland Hall of Mirrors downtown. Local 12 and The Enquirer are media sponsors. “While this year has been challenging, it has also brought out the best in people in our community,” said Bill Shula, Jeff erson Award Committee Chair. “We’re excited to be able to highlight some of the great

volunteerism and meaningful contributions of people who are doing amazing things.” Local software entrepreneur Craig Young, founder and director of Inspiring Service which locally operates as Cincinnati Cares, was honored last February as Cincinnati’s winner. Young was cited for his philanthropy, volunteerism and creating of innovative solutions to empower regional organizations. The award is from the Rotary Club of Cincinnati and the American Institute of Public Service. The winner goes to Washington, D.C., in June to represent the region for the national award. The local winner has won the national honor eight times. This is the 16th year the Rotary Club of Cincinnati has coordinated the award. It is one of the organization's community service programs. The club recognizes people who have created programs that serve unmet needs or volunteers who provide special services to organizations.
