Out of obscurity One of America’s forgotten presidents gets parade Carl Weiser, Jeff Suess and Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

NORTH BEND, Ohio – You might consider the parade here earlier this month the equivalent of a participation trophy. Of the 45 presidents the nation honored on Presidents Day, none served as short a term as William Henry Harrison. He died just 31 days into his presidency and is buried in a tomb overlooking the Ohio River in this town 15 miles west of Cincinnati. Despite a term so short that he left no imprint on the presidency itself, See HARRISON, Page 2A

Club MMA Founders say mixed martial arts can help teach kids life skills

A birthday tribute was held in honor of President William Henry Harrison at his memorial site in North Bend, Ohio, on February 7.

After joining a mixed martial arts program four years ago, Andrew Watkins is overcoming his struggle with social interactions by helping lead class activities. Watkins, a 9-year-old who has Asperger syndrome, joined Club MMA in Green Township to learn martial arts. His father Ron Watkins says “All Blue Drew” continues to grow emotionally, physically and socially every time he steps on the gray mat. “They say it takes a village to raise a child and MMA is truly a part of our village,” Watkins said.

Success stories like this are one of many reasons Club MMA has stacks of thank-you letters from past students and a brand new MMA facility to accommodate growing enrollment numbers. Co-owners Jeff Robison and Abbie Clark say they created the program to help individuals “fi ght life’s battles through martial arts.” Thousands of West Side students have enrolled in fi tness or martial arts programs since its grand opening in 2008, Clark said. To date, 525 children and adults are enrolled in various programs. Coaches, who specialize in child development, help students develop coping mechanisms and teach them sportsmanship, goal-setting techniques, martial arts and leadership traits. “Our coaches get to develop kids’ confi dence and teach life skills in each class,” Clark said. “They actually prac-

Picketers at Kroger want to raise awareness on food deserts Segann March Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Mount Airy and Colerain Township shoppers recently picketed in response to the closing of the Kroger store where they shop. The protesters shined a light on the negative impacts of not having a Kroger nearby. Grocer offi cials abruptly notifi ed the community this month that it would close its Colerain Avenue location in Colerain Township on March 4 due to a lack of profi tability. Residents believe the closure discriminates against lower-income consumers and creates a food desert. Kelli Prather, a social justice advocate, said this has happened across different neighborhoods in Cincinnati. “Not only are they closing this store, but they’ve also closed the Walnut Hills store, College Hill, Camp Washington and Bond Hill Kroger,” Prather said. “These are predominantly low- to moderate-income communities where they have a lot of single-parent households with children. There’s a huge disabled population here.” See KROGER, Page 2A

Harrison Continued from Page 1A

Harrison is still honored every year with a parade sometime around his Feb. 9 birthday. This year’s featured the usual honor guard, marching members of a local Sons of the American Revolution chapter, and wreath-laying at the former president’s tomb. Robert Ruehlman, a local judge and North Bend resident who helps organize the parade, said it’s important to remember Harrison beyond even his time as president. “He was an important fi gure in the war of 1812 and he was the fi rst presidential candidate to use a slogan,” Ruehlman said. That slogan: “Tippecanoe and Tyler too.” (Tippecanoe was a battle Harrison fought in; Tyler was John Tyler, his running mate.) Harrison, a Whig, can claim to be the answer to variety of historical trivia: he was the fi rst president from Ohio, the grandfather of a later president (Benjamin Harrison,) and a pioneer when it came to presidential campaigns – chiefly by exaggerating his record. In her biography “William Henry Harrison,” author Gail Collins, the New York Times columnist and Green Township native, said, “Politically, Harrison’s greatest achievement was to star in what is still celebrated as one of the most ridiculous presidential campaigns in history,” He’s also a key fi gure in a new mystery. A sword he carried at his inauguration that was used in the Revolutionary War by his father-in-law, John Cleves Symmes, disappeared for decades – un-

On March 4, 1841, Harrison gave the longest inaugural address in history (8,445 words). To show how hardy he was, he wore no overcoat, hat or gloves in the freezing temperatures. Harrison caught pneumonia and died on April 4, after just 31 days in office. til it turned up at a Connecticut auction last year. It was seized until authorities can answer the question: was it stolen, as local historians suggest, or was the seller the true owner. The FBI is investigating. On March 4, 1841, Harrison gave the longest inaugural address in history (8,445 words). To show how hardy he was, he wore no overcoat, hat or gloves in the freezing temperatures. Harrison caught pneumonia and died on April 4, after just 31 days in ofﬁ ce. At this year’s parade and wreath-laying, North Bend’s mayor Douglas Sammons said Harrison would have a message for the nation if he were alive today. “In our present day, the United States seems to have become a more polarized country,” Sammons said. “Even when we disagree, it does not mean we should be disagreeable. If President Harrison was alive today, I do not think he would appreciate where our country’s discourse is.”

Despite his short time in office, William Henry Harrison was also an important ﬁ gure in the war of 1812, and was the ﬁ rst presidential candidate to use a slogan.

She added, many shoppers walk to the Colerain Avenue grocery because they don’t have transportation. “It’s not fair because this happens to the poor, black, white and brown communities – they are the collateral damage and it’s just not right,” Prather said. Many people are planning to attend the Mt. Mount Airy Town Council on Feb. 26 to voice their frustrations. Gladys Pope, president of the council, said many were blindsided by the announcement. She said refugee families regularly shop there. She said council members have been

in contact with Kroger offi cials to fi nd ways to ease the transition and fi nd solutions. The closure will also impact more than 100 employees who will have to transfer to other locations, said Erin Rolfes, corporate aff airs manager for the Kroger Cincinnati-Dayton division.

Martial Arts Continued from Page 1A

“Martial arts was never my passion but he is my passion,” Clark said. “I get to see how much he helps people and he’s humble about it. It was very simple that when he wanted to start a business, I was all in. It changed his life and it’s really cool that we get to do that for other people.” Lori Anderson’s 10-year-old daughter Reagan started training at Club MMA in the fi rst grade and uses the sport to boost her confi dence when she hears about tragedies on the news. “They are making them into good little people,” Anderson said. “They sit them down during mat talks and teach them about manners, confi dence and how to handle their anger. They become better students and athletes.”

Building the MMA community Mixed martial arts programs for children and adults across the Tristate are building communities, helping the economy and growing, Robison said. The Oak Hills High School graduates relocated in January to an 11,000square-foot building at 3285 Westbourne Drive. They bought the facility from Dr. Set Shahbabian, a retired neurosurgeon. “He was proud of his building and we’re proud of it too,” Clark said. “We want to be a staple on this side of town. This is our community. No matter how big Club MMA got, we still wanted everyone to feel like family here.” In August, the couple opened a smaller, second location in Campbell County, Kentucky, near Highland Heights. Clark said more than 100 people are enrolled at this campus.

7-year old saves his brother’s life, credits the Heimlich Heroes program Heroes come in all shapes, sizes — and ages. Take for example seven-year-old Anthony Colmenero, who recently saved his younger brother’s life. Anthony was eating dinner alongside his brother, Ryan, when suddenly Ryan fell oﬀ his chair. The toddler fell ﬂ at on his back, hitting his head. His mother, Tracy, rushed to Ryan. As soon as she picked him up — concerned about his head — the toddler began to show signs he was choking. Anthony, quick to recognize the emergency, rushed behind his little brother and performed the Heimlich maneuver. Immediately, Ryan’s obstruction was cleared, and the toddler was able to breathe again. Tracy said the entire incident happened in a matter of seconds — so fast that no words were exchanged between her and Anthony. “I wasn’t speaking, I

was just in ‘go mode.’ Anthony and I worked as a team,” she said. “That is what surprises me the most. Anthony knew what to do without me saying anything.” Just months prior, Anthony, a second-grader, had been taught at school how to identify a choking emergency and how to respond with the Heimlich maneuver. Anthony’s school, located in north central Texas, taught all of its students, from second through ﬁ fth grade, how to use the Heimlich maneuver by going through the Heimlich Heroes educational program. Supported by the Deaconess Foundation and other generous donors, Heimlich Heroes teaches young people the proper way to identify a choking emergency. The program also teaches when and how to perform the Heimlich maneuver

and ways to prevent or minimize the risk of choking. The lessons can be taught to children as young as seven years old, according to program manager, Terri Huntington. Though the program’s offi ces are located in Cincinnati, the program’s reach is international. “In fact, our program has trained and equipped more than 29,000 children across 159 schools and after-school groups in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region alone,” said Huntington. “And, though we’ve trained a few groups overseas, we are excited that more than 208,000 people nationwide have participated to date,” she said. “We’ve found that school nurses and health teachers especially embrace this lesson for their students. And when we hear from them that because of our training one of their kids has saved a life, we are so thankful that we could off er them this program.” Anthony credited the specially designed training dolls, provided by Heimlich Heroes, in helping him to have the confi dence to know how to respond inthe-moment with his brother. “I liked practicing the Heimlich maneuver on the doll. That helped me know how to get stuff out [of the throat] when someone is choking,” he said. Refl ecting on how he saved his brother’s life, Anthony said he hopes other children learn the skills he and his peers

were taught at school. “My dad always has me rank things [in terms of their importance]. So, on a scale of one to 10, I would say it’s a 10 on how important it is for kids to learn these skills.” Tracy said she is thankful for her son’s quick response and how Anthony’s teacher, S. Bradshaw, taught children the skills to help them save lives. She hopes other schools also teach students these life-saving skills, in the future, too. “We’re so thankful that the Heimlich Heroes program is off ered at young ages,” she said. “Kids are never too young to learn a new skill.” With offi ces located in Cincinnati, Ohio, Heimlich Heroes was developed through a cooperative eff ort of the Deaconess Foundation and the Heimlich Institute. Heimlich Heroes’ education-based program can be used in any classroom, club, organization, or group setting to educate people on how to recognize and respond to a choking situation. Heimlich Heroes regularly works with schools, scouting organizations, the YMCA, 4-H, and Boys and Girls Clubs of America among other groups.

Born in Columbia Alabama in 1920 to Judy and James Lightner, she made Evanston Avenue her home in 1945, after marrying the love of her life Ivory W. Miles Sr. in Norfolk VA in 1944. The couple had three sons, Ivory Jr, Mack and Donald (Shannon) whom she raised along with her late husband Ivory W. Miles Sr. They also raised their granddaughter, Rachael (Michael). Eula has ﬁ ve additional grandchildren Brian Sr. (Latrice), Amber, Krysta, Shannan and Danielle. As well as twelve greatgrandchildren: Brianna, Brian Jr, Jaden, Zion, Jianna, Peyton, Taidgh, Jaziyah, Takari, Sebastian, Jalai’Yah and Ja’Ryia. She was recently blessed with a greatgreat granddaughter Brooklyn.

Eula has done more than most of us will ever do, in her 100 years of life. She has truly lived through the things in history we only read about. Eula is a beloved spirit and her life’s work shows that her presence in this world has touched so many. She could make anything in the world. From beautiful dresses to ﬂ ower bouquets, table arrangements to Easter baskets, wedding direction to fashion shows. Very creative mind and talented hands, Eula was the go to for any and all occasion or decorations. Don’t forget about the cooking. You could not walk in her home and not eat. Eula insisted on making sure everyone ate something, even if it was only a grape or two (that has not changed to date). She had a baking hand and southern style for making any dish. Her famous recipes were honed by her children and taught to her grandchildren when they came over for weekend visits and at church with her fellow members, when preparing for a special event.

Eula is also dedicated to her faith and her church, Brown Chapel A.M.E. There she served as a member and an oﬃ cer of various organizations including but not limited to the Eureka Harris Willis Missionary Society, Camille Hood Crusaders Club, Church Women United of Greater Cincinnati and the Federation of Colored Women’s Club. She was elected Life Member of the Southern Ohio Missionary Society in 2000. Eula could do it all.

Her true passion however, was teaching. She played basketball and studied at Albany State University as well as the University of Cincinnati, where she received her Bachelors of Art in Education. Eula put her heart and training into teaching students with severe and developmental disabilities at Dyer and Fairfax schools, before retiring in 1985. Eula was active in her community of Evanston where she volunteered with

the Red Cross, served as a den mother for the Boy Scouts of America and bowled regularly, in a local league at Stone Lanes in Norwood. Eula has done more than most of us will ever do, in her 100 years of life. She has truly lived through the things in history we only read about. There have been lots of laughs, hugs and smiles there have also been some heartbreaks, tears and fear. Through it all, Eula Lee (Lightner) Miles remains strong and of sound mind. Residing in Colerain Township nowadays, she wakes up every morning thanking The Lord for his mercy and grace. She celebrated her birthday with friends and family. This was an epic occasion and we are blessed to be able to honor our Matriarch. Mom, Grandma, Auntie, Cousin, Friend, Ms. Eula....We Love You! Amber Miles

I’m thrilled to still be here 10 years later, doing what I love, and now having a family of loyal LouLou’s customers, said Nancy Rembold, owners of LouLou’s. It was LouLou’s loyal customers that inspired Nancy to introduce a brand new line of kids clothing called Little LouLou’s. “Now moms, grandparents and everyone can ﬁ nd unique fashions for themselves, but also for a favorite little girl or boy in their lives.” In addition to clothing for women (including Plus sizes) and now kids – LouLou’s also carries accessories, including jewelry, purses and shoes.

Blake Alma, a Sharonville resident, took the outdoor world by storm when he started his own TV and radio talk show at his young age. Over a year ago, Blake stepped out of the public eye due to a social media outburst of negative feedback from his hunting-related media. No one has really heard from him since then. Recently, Blake returned to social media with a new and unique take. Blake opened an account on the popular video sharing app TikTok. He created the page to share his new found hobby of coin collecting naming it Coin Hub. In just two weeks since his ﬁ rst video post, Blake has received over 1 million views, 100k likes, and 10k followers. However, Blake did not show himself in any of videos. He said in a post that once he hit 10k follows he would perform a popular Tiktok trend called a face reveal. He recently just broke the 10k mark and did the face reveal in a heartwarming way. In his face reveal video, he included pictures of himself from his past outdoor successes. Stating he was once the boy in those pictures and then concluding the video with an new image of himself holding an handful of pennies representing his new coin page. Blake appears to be back for good with this new video sharing page with his new hobby of coin collecting.

Nancy Rembold, owner of LouLou’s Boutique, is celebrating their 10 year anniversary. PROVIDED

NCS names Jeff Doherty as fi rst chief product enrichment officer GREEN TOWNSHIP – NCSolutions (NCS), the leading company for improving advertising eff ectiveness for the consumer packaged goods (CPG) ecosystem, has named Jeff Doherty to the newly creDoherty ated position of chief product enrichment offi cer. Doherty, who will continue to serve as NCS’s COO, will be focusing on accelerating innovation at NCS including the next wave of initiatives that will allow CPG advertisers and publishers to be more agile and compete more eff ectively even as advertising is roiled by change. He will oversee product strategy, data management, technical infrastructure, and operations as well as research and development. He continues to report to Linda Dupree, CEO of NCS. “CPG advertisers are asking pressing questions about their advertising: am I reaching the right audiences; what levers do I need to pull to make sure I am driving in-store sales; is my advertising building my brand; do I focus on current or new buyers to build my brand,” said Dupree. “Over the last 10 years, we’ve built an arsenal of innovative concepts, solutions, and technologies. Jeff will now accelerate our initiatives to ensure we are operating at

the speed of business today, aligning our industryleading expertise with a continually growing world-class collection of data and allowing the NCS teams to deliver deeper, more impactful insights for all of the markets we serve.” “From our founding, the NCS vision is to improve advertising eﬀ ectiveness through innovative use of insights and technology and help advertisers connect the dots from advertising exposure to in-store sales,” said Doherty. “Today, we have so much more at our disposal to drive greater value for CPG advertisers. Machine learning, for example, not only drives faster insights for advertisers but is also constantly improving itself — getting smarter over time. My new focus on emerging

technologies will support NCS’s mission of eff ective advertising across all media. This will allow the NCS teams to be more agile and scale faster to meet the growing demand and needs of the markets.” Throughout its history, NCS has worked hand-inhand with CPG advertisers, platforms and media companies to develop and launch breakthrough advertising solutions. From post-campaign measurement connecting campaigns with in-store sales to quantifying impact early in a campaign, the company has provided brands with a holistic picture of the impact of their campaigns across channels. Most recently, NCS has focused on groundbreaking in-fl ight solutions, which allow advertisers to be more effi cient with their advertising spend. Doherty will also play a vital role in addressing some of the industry’s toughest challenges, including privacy. Consumers, for example, are demanding higher standards. Although already compliant with the strictest data privacy regulations, NCS will continue to be proactive on this issue, providing advertisers and publishers with tools that help them build new relationships with consumers while also remaining ahead of the market. As a member of the start-up team at NCS, Doherty played a signifi cant role in laying the structural groundwork for the joint venture 10 years ago. As chief fi nancial offi cer, he led an initiative to automate business functions and improve operational eff ectiveness. He also established key partnerships and revenuegenerating initiatives that have contributed to the company’s growth and continued operational effi ciency. Elana Spivack, NCSolutions

Warm your winter night with high roasted Middle Eastern-style chicken with veggies and couscous Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

I was hoping to share a recipe I’ve been wanting to try for New England maple mustard roasted chicken. That isn’t happening. It’s not because I don’t have chicken and mustard. It’s the maple syrup not anywhere to be found on my little patch of heaven. I was hoping for enough sap from our maple tree to boil into homemade syrup. We tapped it weeks ago. (Check out my site to see granddaughter Ellery helping tap the tree). Well, the tree still hasn’t produced much sap, so even though it’s maple syrup season, I’m way behind. I decided to roast the chicken Middle Eastern style, with high heat for a crispy crust. That’s a long way from New England! But you know what? Served with a side of couscous, we agreed it was a perfect winter supper. Stay tuned for a maple syrup update!

High roasted Middle Eastern style chicken. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

High roasted chicken with green beans, tomatoes and olives The beans are blanched and added during last few minutes of roasting, so they retain color and flavor. Go to taste on marinade ingredients.

quarters

Roast 40 minutes.

1 pound fresh green beans, blanched

Meanwhile, blanch beans. You’ll add those with rest of tomatoes after chicken cooks.

Instructions

Ingredients

Marinate several hours or overnight in refrigerator.

Bring pot of salted water to boil, add beans and cook 2 minutes. They’ll turn bright green and be crisp tender. Drain, rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Can be done ahead but bring to room temperature. (You can use frozen beans. Thaw, then bring to room temperature).

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Add rest of tomatoes and beans

Remove chicken from marinade. Save marinade as you’ll use this to cook chicken.

After 40 or so minutes, add beans and remaining tomatoes. Nestle into pan juices so they pick up flavor. Cook few more minutes until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Whisk lemon juice, 3 tablespoons honey, oregano, thyme, garlic, oil, salt and pepper together. Place chicken in baggie. Pour marinade over. Seal, pressing out air.

About 3 pounds favorite chicken pieces, bone in, skin on (I used thighs) ⁄ 2 cup fresh lemon juice

6 tablespoons honey, divided 1 1⁄ 4 teaspoons dried oregano ⁄ 2 teaspoon dried thyme

1 very generous tablespoon garlic, minced

Arrange chicken in sprayed casserole, skin side up.

⁄ 3 cup olive oil

Place half of tomatoes around chicken. Sprinkle olives all over.

Salt and freshly ground pepper 4 nice sized tomatoes, cut into quarters or a container grape tomatoes. Divide tomatoes in half. 1 generous cup Greek or Mediterranan olives, cut into

Pour marinade over all. Drizzle remaining 3 tablespoons honey on top of chicken and tomatoes.

Couscous cooking tips: I always use a flavorful broth instead of water. And I add a nob of butter or a swirl of olive oil after it’s cooked, which only takes 5 minutes for quick cooking couscous.

“POTP really challenges our students to write using real-world context and clear language to explain their complex ideas,” said Melissa Griley, WOMS Teacher, and POTP Sponsor. “I see each student’s growth as the year progresses, as they learn to develop their thoughts and formulate each of their written responses,” said Griley. “Although we are proud when our students achieve these great accomplishments, we know that the real work takes place year-round.” POPT is an after-school program that meets twice a month. At each meeting, students practice writing ondemand about various topics. Like in the tournament, each practice session is timed. “Writing on-demand is a skill that students need to prepare them for high school, the ACT/SAT and also for college. I’m proud to know that we’re starting that work now,” said Kevin Gale, WOMS Principal. “We’re striving daily to encourage students to excel in areas of reading and writing, in and out of the classroom, which is why participation in programs like POTP is so highly encouraged.” Lyndsey Creecy, Northwest Local School District

The show featured 11 of Princeton’s highest achieving musicians, many of whom also performed a Class A Solo at the Ohio Music Education Association’s Solo and Ensemble Contest on Saturday, Feb. 8, at Anderson High School. Class A solos are deemed the most challenging music to perform.

Students who performed include Madje Amegadzie, Jooyoung Choi, Temple Corbett, Jacob Deubell, Taylor Hoog, Clay Kessler, Andrew McDaniel, Bryanna Price, Nathan Rengering, Noah Torlop, and Raymond Wilkinson. “I’m very excited to see all of my incredibly talented classmates perform solo and truly showcase their gifts,” said senior Bryanna Price. Kristin Brown, chair of Princeton’s Music Department, said this show is always a special showcase opportunity for graduating students. “The show is a culmination of all the hard work we’ve done artistically for the thirteen years or since these students came to Princeton,” said Brown. “Each high school student involved in the recital has devoted countless hours of work and passion into their performances. We can think of no better way to highlight their achievements and share our gratitude with the community for all they have done for us.” Ron Bollmer, high school principal, and Dawn Stallard, assistant principal, handed a rose to each soloist following his/her performance. A reception fol-

lowed the event courtesy of the awardwinning Princeton Music Boosters. “This is my favorite student show of the year,” said Deborah Jackson, a Princeton City School District music teacher who teaches music education at Sharonville Elementary. She returns annually to watch her former students perform. “The students work so hard and they put so much heart into their solos. This Senior Solo Recital is so special for them, for their classmates, for their families, and for our community. It’s one of my favorite traditions here in Princeton.” Tricia Roddy, Princeton City Schools
