How a Wyoming trio made ‘The Voice’ history Jennie Key

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

History was made on NBC's "The Voice" Tuesday, Feb. 26. Clear and pure, Katey Bundy started the opening lines of "Closer to Fine," during her Blind Audition. Coach Blake Shelton turned his chair and got more than he bargained for. She was not alone. Her voice next blended with a second, and then, a third as the ﬁ rst-ever voice trio, Wyoming Ohio's The Bundys, harmonized their way through the Indigo Girls' ﬁ rst hit song. It was also a hit with two coaches, and Shelton and Kelly Clarkson duked it out to claim the trio for their respective teams. Coach Adam Levine said he was sorry he didn't turn around. Clarkson said she loved harmonies and felt she could be a solid coach. "Please, let me be part of this historic journey," Shelton begged. "Come on, Bundys, this is what I do. Please." Both coaches commented on the magical harmony that happens when siblings sing together.

Warmbiers: ‘Kim and his evil regime are responsible for the death of our son’

See BUNDYS, Page 2A

Jordan Kellogg and Anne Saker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The parents of Otto Warmbier say that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is responsible for their son, Otto's death, in an implied rebuke to recent statements made by President Donald Trump. "Kim and his evil regime are responsible for unimaginable cruelty and inhumanity," the Warmbiers said in a statement released Friday morning. "No The Bundys, a Wyoming, Ohio trio, will be in the Season 16 Blind Auditions of NBC's The Voice.

excuses or lavish praise can change that." Trump said Thursday he did not hold Kim responsible for the death of Otto, the Wyoming, Ohio, college student who died after being imprisoned in North Korea. Politicians and diplomats across the spectrum had expressed disbelief Thursday at President Trump’s assertion that North Korean leader Kim did not know what happened to Otto Warmbier while the Wyoming, Ohio man was in Pyongyang’s custody. The president made the observation

about Kim at Thursday's close of his summit in Hanoi, Vietnam, with the North Korean leader. The meeting ended early without an agreement on the key goal, regulating that nation’s nuclear program. At the concluding news conference, Trump was asked about Warmbier, and the president said he does not hold Kim responsible. "I don't believe he knew about it. He tells me that he didn't know about it and I will take him at his word." This is a developing story and will be updated.

President Donald Trump says he believes that North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un didn't know about how Otto Warmbier was treated while imprisoned in the totalitarian state. Warmbier, a Wyoming, Ohio college student visiting the country, was accused of stealing a propaganda poster and imprisoned in North Korea in 2016. He returned to Ohio in a coma with a brain injury in June 2017 and died soon after. "I don't believe he knew about it," Trump said of Kim. "He tells me that he didn't know about it and I will take him at his word." Experts say Kim knew. “It is inconceivable that such a high proﬁ le American prisoner like Otto Warmbier, that Kim Jong-un would not know,” said former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson Thursday morning on MSNBC. Richardson, a former ambassador to the United Nations, tried for over a year to negotiate Warmbier's release. Richardson said it was "dispiriting" and "disappointing" that Trump would side with Kim over American intelligence. Why is it likely Kim knew about Warmbier? "North Korea is a totalitarian dictatorship. Anything that the leadership does has to be approved by the man at the top," said Rosa Park, director of programs and editor at The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea. "This is how the North Korean state has been since it’s inception: this irongrip control over the leadership," she added. And a federal judge found that Kim's regime was responsible for Warmbier's torture and awarded Warmbier's parents $500 million.

In a statement after the decision, Fred and Cindy Warmbier said they are "thankful that the United States has a fair and open judicial system so that the world can see that the Kim (Jong Un) regime is legally and morally responsible for Otto’s death." Warmbier’s case would have certainly come to Kim’s attention at some point, said Scott Snyder, senior fellow for Korea studies and director of the program on U.S.-Korea policy at the Council on Foreign Relations. Snyder said it’s diﬃ cult to know when and how he would have been informed. Snyder said it’s striking that Trump started his administration focusing on human rights but those issues have disappeared from his rhetoric since deciding to meet with Kim. “It’s unfortunate the administration has not found a way to continue a human rights policy against North Korea at some form at a bureaucratic level while trying to perform high level diplomacy,” Snyder said.

President Donald Trump said Thursday he did not hold Kim Jong Un responsible for the death of Otto Warmbier, the Wyoming, Ohio, student who died after being imprisoned in North Korea. In 2016, Warmbier, then 21 years old, was arrested and accused of committing a “hostile act” as he tried to leave North Korea. He was sent home to his parents in June 2017 in a coma with a massive brain injury and died afterward. Here’s what Trump has said or tweeted about Warmbier.

‘Reprehensible’ Backlash builds against Trump remarks on Otto Warmbier death Anne Saker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Politicians and diplomats across the spectrum expressed disbelief Thursday at President Trump’s assertion that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un did not know what happened to Otto Warmbier while the Wyoming, Ohio man was in Pyongyang’s custody. The president made the observation about Kim at Thursday's close of his summit in Hanoi, Vietnam, with the North Korean leader. The meeting ended early without an agreement on the key goal, regulating that nation’s nuclear program. At the concluding news conference, Trump was asked about Warmbier, and the president said he does not hold Kim responsible. "I don't believe he knew about it. He tells me that he didn't know about it and I will take him at his word." The Warmbiers oﬀ ered no comment Thursday. Here's how political leaders reacted:

The Warmbiers' Congressional representatives Rep. Brad Wenstrup, who represents the Cincinnati-area city in Congress, said, “Otto Warmbier’s imprisonment and death were heinous crimes at the hands of the brutal Kim Jong Un regime. We must never forget this regime’s despicable human rights record, even as we work to denuclearize the country.” Republican Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, who accompanied Warmbier when he returned to Cincinnati in June 2017 from his North Korean captivity, said, “We must remember Otto, and we should never let North Korea oﬀ the hook for what they did to him.”

Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, who has introduced a package of economic sanctions against North Korea and named the legislation for Warmbier, said Trump should call the North Korean government to account. “North Korea murdered Otto Warmbier and the president of the United States has a responsibility to make sure they face the consequences. Anything short of that is unacceptable,” Brown said. “The president of the United States is sending a message to dictators around the world that he believes autocrats when they lie or when they cover up, or when they justify policies that result in the deaths of human beings.”

Congressional leaders Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, the leading Democrat on the Senate Foreign Aﬀ airs Committee, saw a pattern in

Trump’s statement Thursday in Hanoi. “He seems to ﬁ nd warmth with authoritarian dictatorships and believes them and their word when they have records of violating international law and human rights than to believe our own intelligence community,” Menendez said. Rep. Mike Turner, a Republican who represents Dayton in Congress and sits on the House intelligence committee, also pinned the blame on the North Korean leader. “Otto Warmbier’s life was taken by the abusive and oppressive regime in North Korea. As the head of that regime, Kim Jong Un bears full responsibility for Otto’s death.” The remark was akin to Trump’s acceptance of Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s denial of Russian meddling in American elections or the denial of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman that he was involved in the October death of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi embassy in Istanbul.

Former officeholders On Thursday, former U.S. ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul wrote on Twitter: “And of course, Trump gives Kim Jong Un a pass. Just like MBS.” After Trump’s appearance in Hanoi, Nikki Haley, formerly Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations, took to Twitter to pin the blame squarely on Kim's government: “Americans know the cruelty that was placed on Otto Warmbier by the North Korean regime. Our hearts are with the Warmbier family for their strength and courage. We will never forget Otto.” Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich said Trump might have been looking for a deal from Kim when he made the comments about Warmbier.

“But you can’t sell human rights down the river,” Kasich said on CNN. Also on CNN, former Republican Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania said he was "disappointed, to say the least," in Trump's remarks. "This is reprehensible, what he just did. He gave cover ...to a leader who knew very well what was going on with Otto Warmbier,"

How Warmbier died Warmbier, a student at the University of Virginia, went to North Korea on a tourist vacation in late 2015 and was about to return in the fi rst days of 2016 when he arrested and charged with stealing a poster from a Pyongyang hotel. After a show trial, a North Korean court sentenced Warmbier to 15 years hard labor. Immediately after the sentencing, however, no further word was heard from Warmbier. His parents, Fred and Cindy Warmbier of Wyoming, pushed the Obama administration to win his release, but all eff orts failed. When Trump took offi ce, he sent an envoy to North Korea to bring Warmbier home. The Un government released him as a humanitarian gesture. But Warmbier returned to Cincinnati in a state doctors diagnosed as “unresponsive wakefulness” that left him blind, paralyzed, bedridden and unable to communicate. Tests showed his brain had been starved of oxygen. He died six days after his return to Cincinnati at 22. In December, Warmbier’s parents won a $501 million judgment against the North Korean government for their son’s wrongful death by torture. At Thursday’s news conference, Trump said nothing about any U.S. eff orts to help the family collect on the judgment. Instead he simply called them “an incredible family.”

Viewpoints Trump oﬀ ers Warmbiers a slap in the face Byron McCauley Guest Columnist Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK

We've become accustomed to President Trump's believing what murderous despots tell him over the evidencebased facts of our nation's intelligence apparatus. Still, many of us are dumbfounded by what came out of the president's piehole in Vietnam as regards the late Otto Warmbier of Wyoming. "I don't believe he knew about it," Trump said of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, according to USA Today. "He tells me that he didn't know about it and I will take him at his word." He added that the Warmbiers are an "incredible family" and "what happened is horrible." What happened was that Warmbier died while in the custody of the North Korean government after he admitted (under duress) to the hostile act of tearing down a propaganda poster at his hotel. He pleaded guilty in an insipid courtroom. Fifteen years of hard labor was the sentence. Instead, Warmbier was returned to Cincinnati over a year later suﬀ ering from a brain injury. He was blind, deaf and could not move without help. Do we want to add a qualiﬁ er to "admitted?" he likely was admitted under duress or without choice? Kim said he didn't know what happened, said Trump. "I will have to take him at his word." Stunning.

I wonder how Otto’s parents, Cindy and Fred Warmbier, are doing. About a year ago they were guests of the president during his State of the Union Address. A year later, he goes on foreign soil and says he believes a young dictator when the dictator washes his hands of Otto's death. How often is an American captured and imprisoned in North Korea? Kim rules with an iron ﬁ st. How can it be that the dictator was not aware of how his American prisoner was treated in prison?

There's no way Kim didn't know, said former U.N. Ambassador Bill Richardson, who said he tried to free Warmbier for a year. He called it "dispiriting" and "disappointing" that Trump believes

son, and he will be for a long time, in my life. His parents are good friends of mine. I think, without Otto, this would not have happened. Something happened, from that day. It was a terrible thing. It was brutal. But a lot of people started to focus on what was going on, including North Korea. “I really think that Otto is someone who did not die in vain. I told this to his parents. Special young man. And I have to say, special parents, special people. Otto did not die in vain. He had a lot to do with us being here today. Okay? Thank you very much.”

the hands of regimes that do not respect the rule of law or basic human decency,” Trump said. “The United States once again condemns the brutality of the North Korean regime as we mourn its latest victim.”

June 20, 2017 To reporters in the Oval Oﬃ ce: “It’s a total disgrace what happened to Otto. It should never, ever be allowed to happen. And frankly, if he were brought home sooner, I think the results would have been a lot diﬀ erent.” Warmbier “should have brought home that same day ... I spoke with his family. His family is incredible ... but he should have been brought home a long time ago.”

June 21, 2017 At a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa: “But you look at North Korea, what’s going — look at Otto, beautiful Otto,. Went over there a healthy, wonderful boy and you see how he came back. You see how he came back. “Look at Otto, beautiful Otto. Went over there a healthy, beautiful boy.”

Jan. 30, 2018 In his State of the Union speech, to which he invited the Warmbiers: Otto Warmbier’s family received two standing ovations during the speech. His parents, Fred and Cindy Warmbier, of Wyoming, Ohio, stood next to First Lady Melania Trump and wept as they acknowledged the cheers. “We need only look at the depraved character of the North Korean regime to understand the nature of the nuclear

Kim over American intelligence. Ohio's senators thankfully recognize Trump's apostasy. “We must remember Otto, and we should never let North Korea oﬀ the hook for what they did to him,” said Sen. Rob Portman of Terrace Park. "North Korea murdered Otto Warmbier and the president of the United States has a responsibility to make sure they face the consequences. Anything short of that is unacceptable,” Sen. Sherrod Brown said. “The president of the United States is sending a message to dictators around the world that he believes autocrats when they lie or when they cover up, or when they justify policies that result in the deaths of human beings.” "Maybe he did, and maybe he didn't," Trump said when talking about whether Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was personally involved in the death and dismemberment of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Meanwhile, I wonder how Otto's parents, Cindy and Fred Warmbier, are doing. About a year ago they were guests of the president during his State of the Union Address. A year later, he goes on foreign soil and says he believes a young dictator when the dictator washes his hands of Otto's death. To me, that feels like a slap in the face.

threat it could pose to America and our allies,” Trump said. “Otto Warmbier was a hardworking student at the University of Virginia. On his way to study abroad in Asia, Otto joined a tour to North Korea. At its conclusion, this wonderful young man was arrested and charged with crimes against the state. After a shameful trial, the dictatorship sentenced Otto to 15 years of hard labor, before returning him to America last June — horribly injured and on the verge of death.

Sports FORTY for St. Xavier

Bombers win 40th career OHSAA state title for swimming Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

CANTON - The feeling of winning an OHSAA state team swimming championship never gets old. The sensation is still fresh for St. Xavier fourth-year head Tim Beerman, who joined the program's unprecedented run of team titles already in progress. On Saturday, Feb. 24, Beerman made it 4-for-4 in his tenure, watching as his AquaBombers captured their 11th consecutive OHSAA Division I team championship and 40th overall. "It was fantastic and it's been a great season. These guys have put 100 percent into everything they've done. But not only that, half of this team has never made the state meet before, so they pushed themselves up to that next level and that's what made this accomplishment even achievable," Beerman said. "It was a great experience, they've been a great team and formed a great spirit over the course of the four months. All the credit is due to them for earning the school's 40th." Forty was not a runaway for the Division I juggernaut. St. Xavier was locked in a tight battle with Sycamore as brothers Jake and Carson Foster racked up a combined eight state championships. After the 50-yard freestyle, Sycamore held a one-point lead over St. Xavier, but the AquaBombers weathered the storm over the fi nal seven events with a pair of state championships to emerge victorious, 310-240. It was the closest margin of victory for St. Xavier at state since a 17-point victory over St. Francis DeSales in 2014. "I wouldn't say it was nervousness; it's acknowledgement," Beerman said about Sycamore's eff ort. "They have some great swimmers on their team and we know 'em very well. They spurred us on the great things, too, and hopefully we did some of that in return. It was a great competition for everyone involved." Junior Jean-Pierre Khouzam, who was apart of two relay titles last year, gave the AquaBombers their fi rst state championship of the meet, winning the 100 butterfl y with a time of 47.21, just shy of Austin Staab's state-best time of 47.10. Khouzam was again a two-time champion, closing St. Xavier's state title in the 200 free relay along with senior JP Khouzam, junior Ian Van Gorp and sophomore Owen Taylor. St. Xavier opened and closed that Saturday's portion with runner-up relay fi nishes - fi rst in the 200 medley, then in the 400 freestyle. Throughout the meet St. Xavier used its quantity to ultimately pull away from second-place Sycamore. Senior Grady Wheeler was fourth in the 200 freestyle and runner-up in the 500 freestyle and junior Kellen Roddy placed fourth. Junior Nate Buse placed in the 100 butter-

man said. "I hope it's a memory, not in terms of the championship, but in terms of the experience and the relationships that they've built over the past few months." In the end, it was a familiar sight for everyone who visits the home of Canton McKinley High School swimming with any degree of regularity: AquaBombers invading the podium draped with hardware, dripping beads of chlorine on the podium's layers while throwing up Xs. As the stands cleared out at meet's end, there was still a gargantuan chunk of supporters in Bomber blue and white who make the northbound trek a yearly excursion. The St. Xavier fans were deafening throughout the meet, literally standing behind their squad from the bleachers directly south of the eight main lanes. "That's the team. From the students who graciously gave up the front-row seats to the parents, to the parents who have been there from start to fi nish all season long," Beerman said. "St. Xavier swimming and diving is something unique. It is a team approach and these guys and the community that is a part of it have really made some special happen this year. It's been an honor." On the boys side, Cincinnati made it a clean sweep with a state champion in all 11 swimming events. Sycamore totaled eight and St. Xavier won a pair, then Lakota East got on the board when Jacob McDonald won the 500 freestyle. The junior and University of Tennessee verbal commit fi nished with a time of 4:22.17 to lead a local-led fi eld of swimmers that included one Sycamore and two St. X participants

Loss to St. X leads La Salle to 1996 state basketball title Mark Schmetzer

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Dave Esterkamp probably was never more thankful in his life to see wrestling mats covering a gym fl oor. Esterkamp and his 1995-1996 La Salle basketball teammates had just returned to the school from what he described as a “horrible” 66-47 loss at St. Xavier in the third-last game of the regular season. “It was one of those games you had to throw away,” recalled Esterkamp, now a youth basketball trainer in Frankfort, Ill. “I remember we didn’t even take a shower. We knew ‘Flem’ (Lancer coach Dan Fleming) was going to make us run or practice or something. We knew, when we played that bad, we deserved to be punished. When we got back to the school, there were wrestling mats on the fl oor. I remember thinking, ‘Thank God we don’t have to run or practice.’ Instead we came in had a team talk – one of those 45-minute talks. “Flem said, ‘We’ve only got a couple of games left. What are you going to do with them, especially you seniors?’ I think that’s where that run began.” “That run” was shaking off fi nishing last in the Greater Catholic League South to win eight of their last nine games, including all seven in the Division I tournament to capture the Monfort Heights’ school’s fi rst state basketball championship. The Lancers completed the stretch with a 59-56 win over Toledo St. John’s Jesuit at Ohio State University’s St. John Arena on March 23, 1996. Senior guard Craig Conley scored 27 points and Esterkamp added 17 points and a key assist with a length-of-the-court inbounds pass to senior center Roman Welter for a wide-open layup and a 57-53 lead with 16.1 seconds left in the game. Welter’s layup was La Salle’s only fi eld goal in the 16-point fourth quarter. The other 14 came from the free throw line. Esterkamp’s son recently came across on YouTube footage of La Salle playing in the state tournament. “He said, ‘Dad, is that you?’” Esterkamp said. The run started with a confi denceboosting 68-60 win over Oak Hills, which had won 12 straight games and was ranked second in the Enquirer’s coaches’ poll, in the second-last game of the regular season. A 55-52 loss at Moeller in which the Lancers gave away a fi vepoint lead late in the game did little to cripple their new-found confi dence. “We played well,” Esterkamp recalled. “Things just didn’t go our way. I think that kind of lit a fi re under our butts.” La Salle, the top seed in the Oxford sectional, had the next 13 days off . “Flem gave us a couple days off ,” Esterkamp said. “When we came back, he

said, ‘Let’s go get it.’ We weren’t the most talented team, but he made it an usagainst-the-world kind of thing. “I don’t think were the most talented team, but everybody on the team knew their role, and Flem was relentless. His philosophy was organized mayhem.” The Lancers won their two sectional tournament games at Miami University’s Millett Hall by 13 and 16 points before crushing Fairborn, 97-62, in a district championship game at University of Dayton Arena to reach the regional level for the fi rst time since 1980. Esterkamp scored 22 points while Welter – whose sister, Amanda, was playing for McAuley – fi nished with 17 points and nine rebounds. La Salle, building a reputation for explosiveness, erupted for 34 points in the fourth quarter to knock off Trotwood

Madison, 82-74, in a regional semifi nal. Conley scored 16 of his overall 30 points in the quarter against the team ranked 10th in the state in the fi nal Associated Press Division I poll. Oak Hills knocked off No. 8 Springfi eld South in the other semifi nal to set up a rematch of the neighborhood rivals. The Highlanders led 30-22 at halftime before La Salle opened the third quarter with 14 unanswered points on the way to a 63-56 win. “We knew each other from AAU ball and being so close together, so there’s a lot more emotion mixed into it if he’s your buddy,” Esterkamp said, comparing the situation to playing poker. “You know how it is. You always like to take somebody’s money, but it’s more fun when you take it from a friend.” The win sent the Lancers to the state semifi nals for the fourth time in school history. The Lancers had never gotten past the semifi nals in their three previous visits – 1967, 1977 and 1979 – but Esterkamp scored 33 points and hauled in eight rebounds to lead them to a 60-54 win over Lakewood St. Edward, earning their fi rst fi nal berth. Conley scored 11 points in the semifi nal, the middle of a remarkably consistent three-game stretch during which he and Esterkamp combined for 46, 44 and 44 points. While the players piled on each other at a free-throw line after clinching the state championship, La Salle’s cheerleaders unfurled a banner that said “La Salle Lancers – 1996 State Basketball Champions.” Glory Days is a regular feature of Enquirer Media celebrating key moments, personalities and teams in Cincinnati’s rich prep sports history.

Summer fi lm workshops for teens Waycross Community Media will once again be holding Summer Workshops for youth in grades 7-12. Led by Cincinnati fi lmmaker Glenn Hartong, this four-week, eight-session summer workshop will introduce students to the process of fi lm-making. Students will create a short fi lm (between 5-10 minutes), complete with credits and soundtrack, while learning the fundamentals of how fi lms are created. This is a hands-on workshop. The process begins in the concept stage where the students will create characters, determine a plot, and follow a storyline. Based on these parameters, students write a script with the help of our workshop leaders. Students then serve as cast and crew for their project. The workshop concludes with a premiere party for friends and family, and each student receives a DVD copy of the completed project. This is an opportunity for kids to be exposed to new skills in a fun environment and to have a tangible result to show teachers, college admissions offi cers, and family. The workshop sessions will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from June 4 to June 27, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. A premiere party for attendees and their families will be held on Friday, July 12, at 6 p.m. The workshop will be held at the Waycross Community Media Center, 2086 Waycross Road, Forest Park.
