Indoor farming is the future of local food Hydroponic operations part of growing trend Polly Campbell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Farms don't often get funding from venture capitalists. But 80 Acres Farm in Winton Place just got a big fi nancing round from a private equity group from California. And BrightFarms, an advanced greenhouse operation in various locations, got $55 million in investments in June, and $9 million of that is going toward expanding their operations in Wilmington. These indoor farming, which mostly grow greens, herbs and lettuce, are part of a wave of a new kind of farming that is building capacity all over the country. The sector more than tripled from 2015-2017 and has now come to the Cincinnati area. 80 Acres is an indoor farm with a completely controlled indoor environment without soil, rain or sunlight. At BrightFarms, a hydroponic greenhouse, there's no soil, and sunlight is supplemented with artifi cial light. Another indoor farming company, Waterfi elds, has been growing microgreens for restaurants in both greenhouses and warehouses for years. Ironically, not far from 80 Acres and one of Waterfi elds' locations, there used to be a cluster of thriving tomato greenhouses. They went into a long fatal decline as agriculture consolidated in California and Florida, and there wasn't a place left for local producers. But the pendulum has swung back. Now many consumers want locally grown food, and these farms are a natural response. They may not be the small, organic, diversifi ed operations that local food advocates fi rst had in mind. But they aim to address problems that have been pointed out in the current agricultural system, particularly the long delivery chain that brings most produce to market. But this is a diffi cult business to get into; quite a few operations have gone out of business. And while technology solves See FARMING, Page 2A

NJ Rep won’t introduce resolution condemning Kim Jong Un at request of Warmbier’s family Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A New Jersey congressman won't introduce a resolution that would hold North Korean leader Kim Jong Un responsible for the death of Otto Warmbier following a request from the Warmbier family. Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., had recently planned to introduce the resolution but decided against it after speaking with the family, said spokeswoman Amanda Osborne in an email to The Enquirer. "Ultimately, the family decided they did not want the resolution to move forward, and the Congressman wants to respect their wishes," Osborne said. Malinowski proposed the resolution to rebuke President Donald Trump, who said after his summit with Kim that he doesn't hold the North Korean leader responsible for the Wyoming, Ohio college student's death. Osborne didn't say why the family wanted the resolution pulled but did say Malinowski has no intentions of amending or re-introducing any similar legislation. The parents of Otto Warmbier released a statement Friday morning holding the North Korean leader responsible. "Kim and his evil regime are responsible for unimaginable cruelty and inhumanity," Fred and Cindy Warmbier said in a statement released Friday morning. "No excuses or lavish praise can change that." Trump later claimed in a series of

tweets he was being "misinterpreted." "I never like being misinterpreted, but especially when it comes to Otto Warmbier and his great family. I got Otto out, along with three others. The previous Administration did nothing and he was taken on their watch. Of course I hold North Korea responsible for Otto’s mistreatment and death. Most important, Otto Warmbier will not have died in vain. Otto and his family have become a tremendous symbol of strong passion and strength, which will last for many years into the future. I love Otto and think of him often!" Otto 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 Kim government released him as a humanitarian gesture. 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.

Tour group hopeful North Korean travel ban lifted Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The tour company used by Otto Warmbier to enter North Korea wants Americans to be able to again travel to the country, according to the company's website. Young Pioneer Tours seeks daring customers willing to visit "destinations your mother would rather you stay away from." Warmbier joined a group ﬂ own into North Korea in late 2015 at the guidance of the tour company. After Warmbier's imprisonment and eventual death, the State Department barred U.S. citizens from traveling to North Korea, with few exceptions. The ban remains in place today.

some problems, it has its own drawbacks. Mike Zelkind, the CEO of 80 Acres, has worked for 40 years in the food industry, moving from frozen to canned to fresh food. He knows food supply chains. He likes to show graphics that detail the typical route of a bag of greens from farm to consumer. From fi eld to packer to cold storage to trucks and distribution centers and warehouses, there is a multitude of steps. At each stop, the produce gets older, less nutritious and a little more is wasted. Lettuce and cherry tomatoes from 80 Acres need none of that to get to local customers. "The technology we use replaces all that steel on the supply chain," he said. The tech is impressive. The facility in Winton Place is as far from an earthy, muddy traditional farm as you can imagine. You have to wipe your feet before you enter the farm. The 1/4 acre building that replaces 80 acres of land is a series of grow zones, rooms with environments perfect for one crop. There is an herb room, a lettuce and greens room, a place to grow cherry tomatoes and baby cucumbers on vines that climb on single wires. They are experimenting with grapes and strawberries. It's all eerily lit by purple LED lights. The plants are rooted in a soil-less grow mat and fed a liquid solution that is the right recipe for that plant and its stage of growth. They have air moving over them to stress them in just the right way. The air is condensed, the water analyzed, so that the growers know what the plants have taken in and what they need. They do not use pesticides. "We grow food in a clean, consistent way," said Zelkind. One of the advantages of indoor farming is that it eliminates some kinds of risks. An extended tour Zelkind took to talk to farmers was one inspiration for 80 Acres. "They were constantly struggling to do well in bad years," he said. Weather and other uncontrollable factors are a constant unknown factor in farming. That risk is another thing the technology seeks to replace. Bright Farms has many of the same benefi ts of a vertical farm without quite as much technological control. They grow greens in huge glass houses. "When we don't have sun for heat, we use a boiler system," said Paul Lightfoot, CEO. "When the sun doesn't have enough light, we use supplemental lighting. We use a lot less water. We don't use pesticides and we're herbicide-free." He also points out that localized growers are able to build a product for fl avor, not transport durability. "The product is grown for customers, not the supply chain." The greenhouse in Wilmington of-

subject to felony prosecution. The State Department warns of a "serious risk of arrest and long-term detention of U.S. nationals" in North Korea. Young Pioneer Tours wrote that, despite the travel ban, "many Americans have consistently been (an) interested and open-minded demographic in wanting to visit the country." Tour companies have been forced to turn them away "in large numbers," the blog claims. The blog was written before the summit between President Donald Trump and North Korea leader Kim Jong Un. Young Pioneer Tours expressed hope that the U.S. would lift the ban as part of a deal to denuclearize North Korea. But no such deal was reached.

fers good year-round jobs – badly needed in Wilmington – in harvesting, packaging and maintenance. They pay a living wage and off er benefi ts. The critiques of indoor farming have to do with the practice's energy use and the limitations on what can be grown. First, there's the irony of paying for energy that contributes to global warming instead of using free sunlight. 80 Acres is working on lowering their energy use. LEDs are becoming more effi cient, they're experimenting with using an anaerobic digester to convert waste into energy, and they buy renewable energy from Duke. It's very expensive to build and maintain a indoor farm facility, and the end product is more expensive. So only crops that can command a premium price make sense. The pristine freshness and fl avor of 80 Acre or Bright Farms' local lettuce, greens and herbs do off er a value some might pay extra for. Plus they grow quickly for frequent harvests. But when it comes to "feeding the planet," it would be very diffi cult to grow and sell more nutrient-dense foods like potatoes or beans this way because you can't charge a premium for a fresh potato. "For everyone who's started, someone has failed," said Daniel Klemens of Waterfi elds. "There's so much price pressure from retailers, it's hard to get it right." Waterfi elds' goal when they started out was idealistic, but in a diff erent way. It was to create agricultural jobs in the city. So they decided on high-margin crops that take a short time to produce. They grow microgreens and some specialty salad mixes. "We are focused on quality and consistency for our customers," said Klemens. Those are mostly chefs who want the decoration and pop of fl avor that pretty tiny leaves can add to a dish. Working with nonprofi ts like the Urban League and Santa Maria Community Services, they have hired 12 hard-to-employ people and given them good jobs and promotions. And their pretty little redveined leaves show up on a lot of beautiful photos of Cincinnati restaurant food. They make no claims about feeding the hungry or changing the food systems. But Zelkind has a lofty vision that includes fresh food in places that don't have it and contributing to a better way of distributing food. He says their precision technology has driven down costs. Their next step is a new facility in Hamilton that will be completely automated. In a competitive fi eld, he thinks their investment in technology will make local food more easily available.

Why was The Who’s Roger Daltrey in Finneytown? To pay his respects to three students who died at 1979 Riverfront concert Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Nearly 40 years ago, three Finneytown High School students died at The Who concert at Riverfront Coliseum in Downtown Cincinnati. Over the summer, The Who's lead singer Roger Daltrey returned to Cincinnati to meet with organizers and supporters of the P.E.M. Memorial Scholarship Fund, a fund set up in remembrance of those students. RESLV, a video agency based in Greater Cincinnati, captured the visit and produced a mini-documentary The P.E.M. Memorial Scholarship Fund was founded in August of 2010 in remembrance of Stephan Preston, Jackie Eckerle, and Karen Morrison. Those three Finneytown students were among the 11 people killed prior to The Who concert on Dec. 3, 1979. A crowd of 2,000 people rushed to get inside the Riverfront Coliseum to try to see The Who practice before their performance. The 11 victims were from Ohio and Kentucky and ranged in age from 15 to 27. In an article published in the Cincinnati Enquirer shortly after the tragedy, Daltrey said he had a "total feeling of total helplessness." In the mini-documentary, Daltrey speaks about the 1979 tragedy, telling organizers and supporters of the P.E.M. Memorial Scholarship Fund that he and guitarist, Pete Townshend took the incident very hard. “One day I hope Pete will come (to Cincinnati),” Daltrey said. “Maybe we will come together… (Pete has) this kind of tough exterior, but he’s not at all.” Fred Wittenbaum, a member of the

Since its founding, 27 scholarships have been awarded. “This is a story of tragedy, new opportunity and reconciliation.

Celebrate holiday with corned beef and cabbage Moist and buttery soda bread

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

I use my food processor, but you can use a mixer or by hand.

If I didn’t look at the calendar, I would still know St. Patrick’s Day is coming up. That’s because in the grocery stores corned beef is front and center in the meat aisle. This year I used my instant pot for cooking the corned beef. Wow. The beef was done in an hour and 15 minutes (it would have taken a minimum of 4 hours in the slow cooker). I took the meat out and then cooked the cabbage, carrots and potatoes for about 6 minutes. The instant pot has hit mainstream kitchens in a big way. Northern Kentucky reader Nicole Morgan is a fan, and so is friend Carol Vanover, an Indiana reader – they both convinced me to try the pot (check out their recipes on my site). The instant pot is a multi-cooker that’s also a slow cooker, electric pressure cooker, sauté/browning pan, rice cooker, and more. So far all I’ve used it as a pressure cooker. As I evolve with it, I’ll share more recipes using other features. Now if you want, you can always use the regular slow cooker for this recipe, just put the vegetables in the slow cooker ﬁ rst with the meat on top, and cook on low 8-10 hours or high 4-6. And because I’ve gotten a couple requests for my special soda bread, which has been shared before, that’s here too. Happy St. Pat’s Day.

Viewpoints Dealing with retirement healthcare expenses Simply Money Nathan Bachrach and Amy Wagner USA TODAY NETWORK

This Spring, Simply Money Advisors is becoming Allworth Financial. As we expand our services to better meet your retirement planning needs, we needed a name that encompasses all that we are. Don’t worry. We’ll still deliver our same no-nonsense money advice every week in the Simply Money column, presented by Allworth Financial. Clyde from Warren County: My wife and I are both 63 and are going to retire in 14 months. Our biggest worry is healthcare. I used to think that Medicare paid everything. Can you please give us some suggestions for cutting costs? Answer: Healthcare is deﬁ nitely among the biggest costs of retirement. And you’re not alone in thinking Medicare will cover everything. But Medicare doesn’t cover most modern drug therapies, various medical devices, certain personalized care, a majority of laser surgeries, most dental (unless hospitalization is required), and any long-term care. So, how much are we talking? On average, couples retiring today can expect to spend about $280,000 over the course of their retirements on healthcare. And the more you earn (and the longer you live) the more you’re likely to pay in Medicare premiums. With all that said, there are four ways to

help minimize some of your retirement healthcare costs. First, realize that if you have to pay a private physician out of pocket for a type of therapy or care, you can negotiate the price. Second, hire a ‘care manager.’ While having a personalized consultant who is familiar with your medical history might seem extravagant (and expensive), having a bedside advocate to approve treatments, advocate for you, and keep costs in check may not only save you serious money, it could save your life. Third, consider long-term care insurance. Find quotes for a policy that will cover three to fi ve years and see if it’s aff ordable. And fourth, exercise and be social! No one plays a more important role in keeping healthcare costs down than you. The Simply Money Point is that yes, healthcare expenses will be a large chunk of your retirement budget. But the more planning you can do now – before you retire – the better off you’ll be. Tina from Mt. Lookout: My daughter is living on her own for the fi rst time and is learning how to budget. Are there any particular apps you recommend? Answer: What an exciting time for your daughter! Be sure you share our Simply Money Rule of 50/30/20 with her: 50 percent of her money should go to ‘needs’ (rent, utilities, car payment, groceries, etc.); 30 percent should go to ‘wants’ (going out with friends, the latest and greatest phone, vacation, etc.); and 20 percent should be saved (emergency fund, retirement, or a short-term goal). This rule is an easy way to get her spending and saving priorities straight from the get-go. And while the ‘wants’ percentage is negotiable (it can be less

if bills are higher), the percentage she is saving (20 percent) should not be negotiable. Now, as for apps themselves, there are a few she might want to try out. The most popular option a lot of people have heard of is ‘Mint.’ It will create a ‘real time’ picture of what she spends her money on by automatically updating and categorizing purchases. Mint will also issue alerts when she’s spending too much money or going over budget. Some other good options include ‘YNAB’ (You Need A Budget), ‘PocketGuard,’ and ‘GoodBudget.’ She could also give the app ‘Acorns’ a try, though this isn’t a technically a budgeting app. Instead, this app will track her purchases then automatically round up to invest the diff erence. The Simply Money Point is that she needs to fi nd the right budgeting method that works best for her. If that’s an app, great. If it’s an Excel spreadsheet or even just pencil and paper, great.

Sports Southwest district high school wrestling:

La Salle Lancers dominate Trent Arena John Snodgrass Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information and statistics included refl ect this article’s original publication date: March 3. Visit Cincinnati.com for up-to-date high school sports news. KETTERING – Total dominance. The La Salle wrestling program put on a clinic at the Division I district wrestling tournament, Saturday, at Trent Arena in Kettering. The Lancers compiled 273.5 points to easily win the postseason title. But more than the team championship, La Salle won eight individual district titles and qualifi ed 11 wrestlers to next week's state championships in Columbus. The Lancers won titles at the following weight classes: 106 (Cole Skinner), 113 (Dustin Norris), 120 (Lucas Byrd), 126 (Antoine Allen), 138 (Jake Niff enegger), 152 (E`lan Heard), 182 (Trey Sizemore) and 195 (Michael Baker). They also had a district runner-up at 132 with Casey Wiles and two more grapplers place in the top four, qualifying for next week's state tournament – Darnai Heard, third at 145 and Robert Brown, fourth at 285. In all, La Salle qualifi ed a wrestler in all but three weight classes. But it wasn't just La Salle that was having a good day in Kettering. Mason and Harrison fi nished in second and third, respectively, in the team competition and both squads advanced six wrestlers each to next week's tournament in Columbus. The Comets' (128.5 team points) top performer was Christopher Donathan at 145 pounds. Donathan breezed through his weight class, winning the district title via a 16-5 major decision against Northmont's Andrew Knick in the fi nal. Teammate Pacey Najdusak placed second

overall at 106 while Dominic DiTullio (113), Kamal Adewum (170) and Owen Amburgy (182) all placed third overall. Sam Glassco was fourth at 132. For Harrison, the Wildcats ﬁ nished with 111.5 points and had a district champion of their own. Brett McIntosh claimed the 160-pound district title with a 3-2 decision in the ﬁ nal. Harrison's Simon Shirley was the runner-up at 170 while Cameron Baird placed third overall at 132. In addition, Harrison saw Hunter Barge

(138), Jacob Bernhardt (145) and Max Boyle (195) all place fourth in their respective weight classes and advance to the state meet. Elder, Fairﬁ eld and West Clermont rounded out local teams that advanced more than one wrestler to state. The Panthers, Indians and Wolves each saw three competitors move on to Columbus with West Clermont's Joe Wahl winning the 220-pound title with a pin of Northmont's Bryan Heyward in the champion-

ship match (3:25). Elder, who placed fourth in team scoring, had Austin Belcher fi nish as a runner-up at 182 and Seth Lambers place third at 152. Jack Collins was fourth at 126 for the Panthers. Of Fairfi eld's three state qualifi ers, two were district runners-up in Moustapha Bal (120) and Jabari Thomas (126) and a third, Amar Thomas, placed fourth at 142. See WRESTLING, Page 2B

Aiken erases 18-point deﬁ cit to beat Alter, 66-56 Jon Richardson Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Midway through the third quarter in the district fi nal at University of Dayton Arena on Thursday, Aiken stared down a 10-point defi cit against Alter. The Falcons had entered halftime trailing by 18, but their positive momentum coming out of the break was quickly evaporating. Aiken senior guard D’Arris Dean called for a ball screen, drove to the wing and nailed a 3-pointer in the face of his defender. As he fell to the ground the whistle blew, and Alter was called for the foul. Dean calmly rose, stared into the crowd and put a fi nger to his mouth to quiet the opposing crowd – message sent. Aiken never looked back, ultimately beating the Knights 66-56 to capture a Division II district title. “That was a big play,” Aiken head coach Ty Cass said of the Dean 3-pointer. “It kind of sparked our team and the bench got rolling and we were able to do some things after that.” Dean fi nished with a game-high 32 points, willing his team to victory when defeat looked all but certain. He hit 11 of his 12 free throw attempts as well, with many of them coming in the waning minutes of the tight contest. “(Dean) is big,” Cass said. “He’s turning into a leader. He is pointing them in the right place, he’s talking to people the right way and he’s just leading us. Most underrated guard in the city. He is showing it night in and night out.”

The Aiken Falcons defeated the Alter Knights, 66-56, in the district ﬁ nal at UD Arena on March 7. JON RICHARDSON/THE ENQUIRER

Before Dean’s second-half heroics, though, everything had gone the way of Alter. The Knights, content and comfortable sitting in a 2-3 zone, eff ectively limited any dribble penetration from Aiken. Alter possessed the strategic advantage, stifl ing Aiken in the halfcourt defensively and exploiting their undersized frontcourt off ensively. The Knights repeatedly attacked the center of the Falcon defense, creating a slew of easy opportunities at the rim.

By the break, Alter was winning the turnover battle 13-8. Cass did not mince words with his halftime message to his team. “I told them if we were going to go out, we were going to go out the Aiken way,” Cass said. “That’s playing hard, that’s pressing 94 feet and that’s just getting after it.” Aiken came out of halftime with a fullcourt press, and the Falcons rewrote the rules. No longer was Alter able to patient-

ly pick at the opposing defense. Instead, they struggled to advance the ball past midcourt. By the end of the game, Aiken and Alter had 16 turnovers each. Dean came away with seven of those thefts, and as a team the Falcons registered 11 steals total. “I just think we got them out of their comfort zone,” Cass said of Aiken’s press. “They’re a team that wants to be patient, they want to pass the ball around, they want to get us to fall asleep on defense. With us just fl ying around out there we had them moving a couple of steps faster than they wanted and that played in our advantage.” That advantage was easy lay-ins and open threes, and not just for Dean either. Sophomore Jakada Stone fi nished with 19 points and freshman Robbie Cass added 10. “It’s equal opportunity,” Cass said. “We want to play downhill, we want to make the extra pass, we want to play free fl owing… we want to make help defenders help out and then we want to kick and knock down open threes or drive the ball, and that’s what we were able to do.” Aiken 66, Alter 56 Alter (16-10) - Ruff olo 2 0 4, Harker 0 1 1, Smith 3 0 6, Stolly 2 1 5, Uhl 6 0 16, Kolb 2 0 6, Bazelak 1 5 7, Willits 3 1 7, Meyer 1 0 2, Morris 1 0 2.

WICHITA, Kan. — A North College Hill, man whose online video game dispute allegedly led to a deadly hoax call has told a federal court in Kansas that he plans to change his plea. A court notice posted sets an April 3 change-of-plea hearing for 19-year-old Casey Viner of North College Hill. He is charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice, wire fraud and other counts. Prosecutors allege Viner became upset while playing the Call of Duty WWII video game and asked 26-year-old Tyler Barriss of Los Angeles to "swat" 20-year-old Shane Gaskill in Wichita. Police shot the Kansas man who lived at the old address. The case drew attention to the practice of making a false report to get emergency responders to descend on an address. Barriss will be sentenced March 29.

Seven local wrestlers advanced out of Saturday's Division III district tournament at Hobart Arena in Troy, with three of those winning district titles. Reading's Colton Robins (132), MVCA's Seth Henderson (160) and Middletown Madison's Devin Oligee (170) all claimed district titles, Saturday. Henderson became the ﬁ rst district champion in the history of MVCA wrestling. Blanchester advanced the most wrestlers on to state as Clayton Schirmer and James Peters placed third at 152 and 220, respectively. Trey Sander of Bethel-Tate (fourth at 120) and Clermont Northeastern's Sam Patterson (third at 138) also punched their tickets to Columbus. Troy Christian won the DIII district team title with a score of 147.5. Blanchester was the top local ﬁ nisher at 14th with a score of 54.

Some folks planning to attend the HorrorHound Film Festival in Sharonville this month are experiencing a shock of their own. Days before the event is scheduled to open, the Ramada Plaza Cincinnati canceled some reservations, according to horror fan Kelly Mansu. “Hundreds of guests book their rooms through that hotel, months in advance, for the HorrorHound Weekend,” she said. “Less than two weeks before the event, Ramada has decided to cancel 50% to 75% of reservations for that weekend, citing renovations as the cause. This is completely unacceptable.” Management for the hotel did not immediately respond for comment. One of the organizers of the Cincinnati HorrorHound event, Nathan Hanneman, said he was aware the hotel had

scheduled remodeling. He was not aware, however, of the extent. “We were not informed of any signifi cant changes to that plan, nor that the hotel planned on canceling reservations due to the construction,” he said. “I fi rst heard of the cancelations on Saturday evening (March 2).” Hanneman said he didn’t know how many horror fans were impacted by the cancelations. He's meeting with Ramada management, he said, and working with the convention center to fi nd additional hotel space. This is the 10th annual HorrorHound Film Festival for Cincinnati. During these events horror fans can meet celebrities of fi lm and television. Celebrities slated to appear this year include Christina Ricci, Christopher Lloyd, Neve Campbell, Robert Patrick, Dylan McDermott, and Garret Dillahunt. The event runs Friday through Sunday, March 15-17, at the Sharonville Convention Center.

changes to stops as part of a bus stop balancing project designed to improve service for riders. Riders at stops being removed should plan to board and exit the bus at the next closest stop. The FAStops project, which began in June 2018 with a system-wide evaluation of Metro’s 4,000-pus regular service bus stops, aims to not only speed up trip times, but to allow for the agency to make improvements along routes by streamlining bus stop placement. Each stop is assessed based on its location -ensuring stops aren’t too close together -- as well as its usage, amenities, safety and accessibility. Since January, Metro has hosted 14 community information sessions and collected feedback both in person and online from riders on proposed bus stop changes. As a result of the feedback Metro received, more than a dozen stops initially proposed for removal as part of the pilot will, instead, remain. Metro will continue to gather feedback from the community during the pilot. Riders with comments or questions related to the FAStops project may email RouteComments@go-metro.com or visit go-metro.com/fastops to submit their feedback via an online survey. Complete information about the project, including information about speciﬁ c stops, is available at go-metro.com/fastops. *Riders of all Metro routes are encouraged to check Metro’s website for information about the pilot as some stops aﬀ ected may serve more than one route.

CEI Foundation lauds Randolph as ‘Leader of Vision’ Carter Randolph is a “Renaissance man” who has stayed largely in the background of local philanthropy over the past 30 years. But despite his comfort at remaining an unsung hero, he was thrust into the spotlight and honored as the 2018 “Leader of Vision” at the Cincinnati Eye Institute Foundation’s (CEIF) “Feast for the Eyes” annual fundraiser at the Hilton Netherland Plaza. A Ph.D. holder, educator, entrepreneur, environmentalist, philanthropist and supporter of the arts, Randolph owns two companies: Planet Products

Carter Randolph, president of Greenacres Foundation in Indian Hill and the L&L Nippert Charitable Foundation, reacts to a presentation honoring him as the Cincinnati Eye Institute Foundation’s 2018 “Leader of Vision” at the nonproﬁ t’s annual event.

Winton Woods senior is a positive leader for peers Guidance Counselor John Beischel is appreciative of the positive inﬂ uence and determination he sees in Winton Woods High School senior Janny Castro Gutierrez. “Janny, in her short time with us, has quickly become a school leader because of her charisma, charm and infectious personality,” said Beischel. “Students love her, teachers love her and the English Language Learners (ELL) department particularly adores her. She arrived three years ago not knowing any English and now she is in the top 30 of her senior class.” “Janny has worked diligently this year and has been accepted into several universities, most notably Wittenberg and the University of Cincinnati. Nothing has come easy for Janny but she is an example that shows us how persistence can pay oﬀ . I do not know who Janny’s role models are but I do know Janny is the role model for many young Warriors at Winton Woods. A recent commercial says that ‘Chevy truck doesn’t just raise the bar. They are the bar.’ That is Janny Castro Gutierrez. She doesn’t just raise the bar, she is the bar. The bar that other students look to and hope to be someday.

Twenty-three music students in band, orchestra and choir were given the opportunity to prepare an ensemble, solo or a combination and perform in front of judges at Elder High School. Each performance received a rating out of ﬁ ve, with one being Superior. “All of our students received either a Superior or an Excellent rating,” said WWHS Associate Choir Director Beth Miller. The choir members who performed are Qeturah Yisrael, Gracie Harrison, Cari Sullivan, Briona-Joy Smith, Nico Prentosito, Keyshana Mitchell, Paul Boyd, Camron Love, Gideon Afolabi, Quincy Riley, Alycia McNeil, Michael Shannon, Briana James, Ethan Mills, Monique Wallace, Kavita Nelson, Jasmine Horner, and Mark Behrendt. Winton Woods Band Director Danelle Ashbrook says she had two students perform bassoon solos. In class A, the most diﬃ cult level, Matthew Bernardo received an Excellent Rating (II). In class B, Monica Escobedo received a Superior Rating (I), the highest rating, on her solo. The high school’s orchestra had three students participate in the competition. In class A, Kavita Nelson received a Superior Rating (I). In class C, Karla Lopez received an Excellent Rating (II). In class C, Monique Wallace received an Excellent Rating (II). Lastly, in class C, the Winton Woods String Quartet received a Superior Rating (I). The district congratulates each of these Warriors on all their hard work and jobs well done. Drew Jackson

everything they think, say or do is the truth, is fair to all concerned, build’s goodwill and better friendships, and is benefi cial to all concerned. Other contestants included: Rikki Joiner of Springfi eld Township, a junior at Walnut Hills High School, who talked about social media, youth and politics; Kennedy Liggins of Monfort Heights, a junior at the School for Creative & Performing Arts, who talked about the dangers of an increasingly stressful environment; and Liam O’Shaughnessy of Wyoming, a freshman at Wyoming High School, who made a convincing argument for learning multiple languages to unite people and expand understanding. All four speakers receive cash prizes and a letter of recognition from the Rotary Club of Cincinnati. The district competition in March is the fi nal level in the speech competition. The district winner will speak at the Rotary Southwest Ohio District Conference, hosted in Cincinnati April by the Rotary Club of Cincinnati. The annual Four-Way Test speech competition is a collaboration of Rotary and local schools, said Laure Quinlivan, co-chair of the competition for the Rotary Club of Cincinnati. Rotary members began visiting the four schools in fall of 2018 to work with faculty advisers and encourage students to compete. Rotary members led coaching sessions with students and the Rotarians and faculty judged in-school competitions to choose the fi nal four. “Rotarians love helping students develop the skill that will serve them their whole lives - public speaking,” said “Quinlivan of Mt. Lookout. “It’s revealing to learn what teens really care about these days and their speeches make us laugh and cry,” she said. Her cochair was Ed Mathis of White Oak. Judges for the contest were Cincinnati Public Schools board members Ozie Davis of Avondale and Melanie Bates of East Walnut Hills, Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati’s Producing Director D. Lynn Meyers of Westside and President of Cincinnati Toastmasters Polly Giblin of Mason. The Rotary Club of Cincinnati is a service and networking organization for business and community leaders. With close to 350 members, it is the largest and oldest Rotary Club in Greater Cincinnati. Peggy Hodgson

A student’s chilling plea for understanding of mental illness won the Rotary Club of Cincinnati’s 4-Way Speech Contest on Feb. 28. Karrington Rainey, senior at Clark Montessori High School, will now represent Greater Cincinnati in the Rotary Southwest Ohio District speech competition on March 31 at Wright State University in Dayton. Rainey, of Elmwood, told the crowd of more than 135 business and community leaders how her sister’s schizophrenia had impacted her (Karrington’ Rainey’s) life and expanded her understanding of others. “Imagine having a sister who hears voices telling her to kill you,” Rainey told the crowd of Rotary members and guests at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza Hotel. Rainey said her understanding of and empathy for her sister grew as she learned more about mental illness, which aﬀ ects more 46.4 million people in the U.S. “Mental Illness is a chemical imbalance in the brain. It’s an illness,” Rainey said. “If I had something wrong with my arm or leg, everybody would want to sign my cast. But nobody wants to sign my depression pill bottle.” Awareness, Rainey said, leads to greater acceptance. “On a scale of one to 10, my sister used to irritate me at a 15,” she said. “Now it’s about a nine. I realized everything that irritated me about her was her illness.” Rainey’s speech drew a standing ovation. She was one of four high school speakers in the competition that challenges students to incorporate the Rotary’s “Four-Way Test” into a speech. The Four Way Test is an ethics standard, challenging Rotary members to assure
