BUTTERFLY BANDIT: ‘I wouldn’t change anything’ Sonia Chopra Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Jaime Brynne Revis – better known as "The Butterfl y Bandit" – won't be going to this year’s Krohn Conservatory butterfl y exhibit. Actually, she can't. Last year, the visual artist made headlines when she took a blue morpho butterfl y from Krohn’s. After police publicized the theft of the rare butterfl y, the media nicknamed her the "butterfl y bandit." The Springfi eld Township resident, who prefers to go by her middle name Brynne, said she rescued the butterfl y from being tossed in the garbage. Krohn offi cials asked police to investigate and demanded the immediate and safe return of their blue morpho butterfl y. Police scoured her neighborhood, put up fl iers and fi nally located Revis through her Instagram account.

Revis, 37, was arrested and pleaded not guilty. She agreed to six months of probation, a $200 fi ne – and to stay away from Krohn forever. The Finneytown High School graduate said she has spent her life painting, photographing, designing and creating artwork featuring fl owers, butterfl ies and other insects. She said she doesn’t care about being exiled from the exhibit, which starts Saturday. “It doesn’t concern me or make me feel anything. I have no desire to go back,” Revis said. She also said she would not have done a thing diff erently. “If anything, I would have been more outlandish, maybe dressed up and worn butterfl y wings. Other than that, I wouldn’t change anything,” said Revis. “That was the fi rst time I’d collected See BUTTERFLY, Page 2A

This Republican makes bold campaign promise to lose ... 150 pounds Politics Extra Jason Williams Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK

Matt Wahlert met with a personal trainer at the end of February, the ﬁ rst step in a journey to drastically change his lifestyle. But his true motivation to lose weight came about a week later, when Boone County Clerk Kenny Brown died

suddenly in his Florence home. Brown was 53, four years older than Wahlert. "I’ve had people say, 'You look just like him,' " Wahlert said. "I realized something needs to be done." As part of his campaign for Colerain Township trustee this year, Wahlert has made a commitment to lose 150 pounds leading up to the November election. The Republican doesn't care if some see it as a political gimmick. Wahlert just hopes township voters and residents will hold him to his promise to get healthy.

"I'm going to be accountable and transparent in how I do things, and this (weight-loss program) is an example of that," Wahlert told Politics Extra. "This is a chance to Wahlert show people I'm going to go out and get it done." Wahlert, a former North College Hill city councilman, was down 16 pounds on Monday, March 18.

Wahlert, a history and government teacher at Elder High School, did not feel comfortable publicly disclosing to Politics Extra how much he weighed when he started his nutrition and training program recently.

Police identify suspect in Red Roof Inn standoﬀ Butterﬂ y Sarah Brookbank and Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Police detained a man Thursday afternoon following an hours-long standoff at the Sharonville Red Roof Inn, according to offi cials. Sgt. Elizabeth Owens with Sharonville Police said a routine patrol discovered a stolen vehicle in the parking lot of the motel at 2301 Sharon Road. Police linked the vehicle to a guest, who barricaded himself in a room and ignored offi cers' communication eff orts. Authorities identifi ed the man as 32year-old Chastan Walker of Cincinnati, the Sharonville Police Department said in a release posted to its Facebook page. Walker was transported to the Hamilton County Justice Center. He's charged with inducing panic, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and telecommunications

harassment, Sharonville Police said. A Hamilton County Police Association SWAT responded to the scene about 11 a.m., said Sharonville Police Chief Steve Vanover. The incident began

about 8 a.m. John Scott, a witness on scene, said at one point an offi cer pleaded with the man via a megaphone to exit his room, located on the third fl oor of the motel. The offi cer urged him to come outside and pray with other offi cers. Offi cers eventually fi red tear gas into the room shortly before 3 p.m., forcing the suspect to surrender. No injuries were reported and no shots were fi red during the incident, according to Vanover. Walker was taken into custody around 3 p.m. The chief said it was evident Walker

was suff ering a crisis. Owens said evidence suggested the man was armed but declined to elaborate. Walker did not have weapons on his person upon his surrender, Owens added, and police have not said whether any weapons were recovered from his room during the execution of a search warrant. Kathy James, who was evacuated from the nearby Jim Dandy's barbecue restaurant, said a SWAT offi cer wielding an apparent sniper rifl e was stationed there. James said she was relieved no one was hurt. Several other area businesses were evacuated during the incident. Jack Rowe, who works in the area, visited a nearby Skyline Chili for lunch but was told the eatery was closed. Frisch's Big Boy and Waffl e House were also closed, Rowe said.

Wahlert Continued from Page 1A

lert weighed 185 pounds after graduating from St. Xavier High School in 1987, but he's put on hundreds of pounds during his teaching career. "I would do some yo-yo diets in college," Wahlert said. "But once I started teaching and sitting in a classroom all day, my weight just ballooned." Wahlert began training at a mixed martial arts gym in Oakley just a few days before Brown's death on March 8. Wahlert, who had met Brown a few times, is working with a trainer there three days a week. He plans to add a day at the gym during summer break. He's given up pizza – his biggest dietary vice – but he knows there will be big challenges as the campaign revs up. The campaign trail is full of weight-gain pitfalls. Even the most health conscious candidates often gain a few pounds from constantly eating on the go and being bombarded by junk food at festivals and fundraisers. Wahlert is drawing encouragement from his Elder students. He's in his ﬁ rst year teaching there after spending 18 years at St. Henry High School in Erlanger. The students are challenging Wahlert to stay the course. "They love it," Wahlert said. "Sometimes, people have a hard time losing weight because they feel alone. But I

one of my students said: 'Why don't you run?' " Wahlert said. "I said, "Well, it doesn't fi t my schedule.' I liked sitting back and being critical of everybody else. The student said, 'You're being hypocritical.' " That moved Wahlert to run for an Ohio House seat in 2016. He lost in the blue-leaning 32nd District, but he was appointed to the North College Hill City Council a month after the election. He was re-elected in 2017 and resigned a few months ago to move to Colerain Township in order to be closer to his aging mother. In recent years, Wahlert also has become active behind-the-scenes in the Hamilton County Republican Party. Several Republicans have told me that Wahlert was a key player in a petition drive last summer to try to force the Democratic commissioners' sales tax increase to the ballot. He worked 12- and 16-hour days, coordinating groups to gather signatures all over the county. The aggressive, monthlong eff ort collected enough valid signatures and forced Democratic commissioners Todd Portune and Denise Driehaus to rescind the tax hike. It was a big reason the Hamilton County GOP chose Wahlert as the party's elected offi cial of the year award last week. He could receive a much greater award if he's as relentless about his latest endeavor – the gift of good health. Listen to Jason's That's So Cincinnati podcast on iTunes.

A year ago, Revis went to Krohn on consecutive days. The fi rst day, she said she saw an employee throwing away dead butterfl ies. As she tells it, Revis was distressed and the employee sympathized; she allowed her to take four dead butterfl ies home. On the second day, Revis came back and spotted a dead blue morpho butterfl y about 3 feet from her. She climbed over a stone barrier to pick up the butterfl y when she was spotted by an employee who would not let her take it. Revis tried to leave but the employee tried to physically restrain Revis, who left anyway. Offi cials at Krohn said at the time that they had no knowledge of Revis ever being given butterfl ies prior to the April 15 incident. Cincinnati Police Det. Robert Wilson, of District 1 investigations, said at the time he was given the impression the butterfl y was alive, and that it was important to recover it as quickly as possible. "I would be very surprised if it was not alive, but I cannot be sure," he said last year. Revis said the publicity from the incident changed her life. “It’s wild how far-reaching the story was. It seems like everyone heard about it. I’ve never been recognized in public, which I am perfectly content with, but I’ve found myself in situations, where I’m overhearing a conversation and it’s about me,” said Revis. “I was working in Covington as a bartender and I catch the word 'butterfl y' ... as I hear a man telling a couple all about how I was an artist and I just wanted to give a butterfl y a second chance and create something with it. I was genuinely impressed with the amount of details he knew.” Revis has always found the “butterfl y bandit” moniker amusing. “It was funny. I wondered if I should wear butterfl y wings everywhere,” she said “Life is all about evolution. What looks like a mistake to others has been a milestone in my life … even if my heart was broken, even if people misunderstood me or judged me, I have learned from these incidents. We are human, we make mistakes, but learning from them is what makes the diff erence.”

butterfl ies from Krohn. I usually fi nd them deceased along roadsides." Revis' actions will have an impact on Krohn visitors this year: they'll have to watch a roughly minute-long video on why it's important not to take butterfl ies, dead or alive. “We take the safety of butterfl ies in our possession very seriously," Krohn general manager Andrea Schepmann told The Enquirer. The exotic butterfl ies could aff ect local agriculture in unpredictable ways, or if they're removed they could simply die in the unfamiliar environment. "I know people laughed at the incident," Schepmann said, "but it wasn’t funny." Cincinnati Police Department spokesman Lt. Steve Saunders said Krohn hadn't requested extra police for this year's exhibit. But he said the video was a good idea. "It’s a logical step to educate people about not taking out objects or living creatures out of the exhibit. ... A good lesson is that if it doesn’t belong to you, it’s not OK to take out," he said. “Hopefully," he added, "she was the one and only butterfl y bandit.”

Wyoming P&G alum helps bring computers to Guatemalan schools Four middle schools in rural Guatemala will receive computers for the ﬁ rst time thanks in part to Wyoming P&G alumnus Ben Chapman. Chapman helped nonproﬁ t Cooperative for Education (CoEd) receive a $20,000 grant for Computer Centers from the P&G Alumni Foundation Fund of The Greater Cincinnati Foundation. The grant will help create four Computer Centers at Xajaxac, Cerro de Oro, Serchil, and Chixajau middle schools in Guatemala’s impoverished Western Highlands. Each center will house approximately 20 computers purchased from Guatemalan providers. Students at Xajaxac are thrilled for the opportunity to receive computer classes

in their very own school. Right now, if they want to learn these crucial job skills and have any hope of a life beyond poverty, they must travel 10 miles to the nearest computer lab in Sololá—an insurmountable obstacle for many. The four new Computer Centers inaugurated thanks to the P&G Alumni Foundation Fund mark a milestone achievement: bringing the total number of CoEd Computer Centers to 50. The 50 centers serve more than 13,000 students in the indigenous Maya communities of Guatemala’s Western Highlands. A recent study showed that 95 percent of Computer Centers graduates have found employment or furthered their education. Chapman retired from P&G in 2000

Sautéed thick pork chops with orange Dijon pan sauce Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

I was weeding my patch of elderberries when I spied more than a few blackberry vines poking through the soil. The funny thing is when we planted the blackberries originally, they seemed far enough away from the elderberries. Lesson learned: blackberries are like mint – new growth springs from the mother plant, roams, then roots wherever it fi nds soil. I dug up the vines and worked up a good appetite in the process. After all that weeding, I wasn’t about to fi x anything that took a lot of time or eff ort for supper. That’s why I made these sautéed pork chops with an orange Dijon pan sauce. I served them with buttered noodles and a simple salad. You might fi nd these chops on a trendy bistro menu. Yes, they’re that good. Buttered noodles Follow package directions but as soon as they’re drained, put back in pan and stir in a few chunks of butter. Season with salt and pepper. Can you help? Sauerbraten recipe needed John K. would love to make sauerbraten similar to the now closed Window Garden Restaurant. John has friends who grew up eating it and raved about it.

Mount Notre Dame wins 7th state basketball title Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS - In Ohio’s ﬁ nal girls high school basketball game of the season, Mount Notre Dame captured its second Division I state championship in three years with a 52-31 victory over Pickerington Central Saturday night at the Jerome Schottenstein Center in Columbus. The Cougars (27-2) made history in defeating the reigning-champion Tigers, collecting the program's seventh career state title, tied for the most in Ohio High School Athletic Association history with Pickerington Central and Columbus Africentric Early College, which won a D-III title Saturday morning. "It's their program," Mount Notre Dame coach Dr. Scott Rogers said of his team. "They play with so much heart. They care so much about each other. It's what high school basketball is all about. I'm just really proud to be a part of it." Mount Notre Dame owned a 32-29 lead going into the fourth quarter, but quickly pulled away from the purple and black with a 16-0 run in the season's ﬁ nal stanza. The turning point came with 5:15 remaining, when Iowa University signee Gabbie Marshall hit deep 3-pointers on back-to-back possession to extend the Cougars' lead to 13. "I knew one of them would fall eventually, so I just kept shooting," said Marshall, who hadn't scored since a threepoint play in the game's opening minute before the fourth quarter. "I have the green light to shoot every time because I've proved that over four years. I practice shooting from everywhere, so when my teammates set me up with a good shot I just know it's gonna go in. I was feeling it." Makira Cook then followed with a mid-range jumper from the corner to make it 45-29 en route to a 21-2 fourthquarter advantage. "We knew we were in for a heck of a battle. But did I know it would be like this? Heck no," Rogers said. "They just wanted to close it out. We told them at

The Greater Miami Conference has had three diff erent champions in the recent seasons, with Mason winning in 2018. Lakota West won three of four titles before a 16-11 campaign and fourthplace fi nish in 2018. Having held the title in 2016, Fairfi eld has gone 54-28 over the last three years under Tommy Begley, but will have to adjust to losing 14 players from last season. Lakota East, fi nishing second in 2018, won 20 games for the second time in fi ve years, but Dan Sewak is a key departure from last year after leading the conference in batting average and runs batted in. Colerain has had four-straight winning seasons and are returning a slew of experienced pieces after fi nishing in the middle of the pack in 2018. Senior Luke Murray, a Northern Kentucky University commit, hit .320 last year with a pair of homers and 22 RBI and Anthony Lawson, a University of Northwestern Ohio commit, hit .314. Cam Foster is the Cardinals' most-experienced pitcher returning. The University of Charleston West Virginia commit was 2-1 with a 3.55 ERA in 2018. "The team has really meshed well. We have a very good core of returning experienced players who have done a great job creating chemistry with young players," Colerain manager Justin Yeary said. "We have a lot of guys that are very versatile and can do a lot of diff erent things on the fi eld. We are very athletic and have a lot of overall team speed."

the TV timeout, 'Right now it's not about playing an emotional game; it's about being mentally tough' because they were going to bring the pressure. The girls did a great job of beating the traps, looking over the top and attacking. I think that was a key to the run because we didn't back out and try to run clock." Marshall added: "Our mindset is to play like we're down 10 at all times. We just wanted to keep playing hard and keep playing together." The long-range attack was an opposite scoring style than the previous three quarters as Mount Notre Dame scored all of its previous 36 points before Marshall's ﬁ rst long ball either in the paint or at the free-throw line. Freshman standout K.K. Bransford and senior Julia Hoeﬂ ing were dominant down low, combining for 23 points on 9of-12 shooting. The duo combined for eight of Mount Notre Dame's 10 secondquarter points, each turning individual 4-0 runs. The tandem jump-started the deciding fourth-quarter burst with bun-

Hoefl ing had fi ve of her game-high 14 points in the third quarter, including a pair of runners in the lane that gave the Cougars the lead for good after Pickerington Central tied it at 22. "Hoefl ing, what a gamer. What a gamer Julia Hoefl ing is," Rogers said. Bransford fi nished with nine points, going 4-for-4 from the fi eld. She and sophomore Laila Phelia tied a gamehigh with seven rebounds each. A 3-pointer by Pickerington Central's Skye Williams made it 30-29 with 45 seconds left in the third quarter, but the Tigers would not hit another fi eld goal until the 1:37 mark of the fourth quarter, when Erin Whitehead's putback mercifully ended an 18-0 MND run with the game already out of reach.

Eldest Maryknoll Sister dies at 104 years old Sister Mary Paulita Hoff man died on March 14, 2019 at the Maryknoll Sisters Center in Maryknoll, N.Y. She was 104 years old and had been a Maryknoll Sister for 85 years. Mary Rose Hoff mann was born in Cincinnati on August 13, 1914 to Mary (Dumont) Hoff man and Oscar Hoff man. She was the youngest child in a Sister family of eight children: Hoffman four sons and three daughters. Her four brothers: John, Oscar-Jacob, Joseph and Oscar-Michael and her three sisters: Marie, Sr. Mary Eileen (Lorraine) and Margaret have all long ago predeceased her. In 1932, Mary Rose graduated from Our Lady of the Angels High School in St. Bernard and attended The Atheneum-a Catholic institution for Christian formation of priests and laity. She also was a swimming instructor, Red Cross volunteer and worked in an offi ce. She entered the Maryknoll Sisters Novitiate at the Maryknoll Sisters Center, NY on June 4, 1933 from Sacred Heart Parish (Cincinnati Archdiocese).

At her Reception she received the religious name, Sister Mary Paulita, which she retained throughout her religious life. Sister Paulita made her First Profession of Vows on January 6, 1936 at the Maryknoll Sisters Center, NY. After making her First Vows, she served as Assistant Novice Mistress until 1938, when she received her ﬁ rst overseas mission assignment to China. She made her Final Vows on January 6, 1939 in Kaying, China. After language study in 1938, Sister Paulita’s work was in direct evangelization, catechesis, pastoral visiting and native novitiates until 1950, when she was placed under house arrest by the new Communist government. After two years, when Bishop Ford died in the Guangdong prison on February 21, 1952, (presumed date), Sister Paulita was freed and expelled from China. She went to Hong Kong for a short period and then returned to the Maryknoll Sisters Center, NY for medical attention. The lack of food during her period of conﬁ nement required an emergency operation and treatment. After a long period of recovery, Sister Paulita worked in the Maryknoll Sisters Promotion De-

partment until 1954. Sister Paulita loved China and the Chinese, and after her recovery in 1954, she was one of the fi rst Sisters assigned to Taiwan. When she had fi rst gone to China, Sister had learned the Hakka language so she chose to go to the Miaoli Deanery for her ministry. Sister fi rst served in Nan Chuang Parish, but lived with other Sisters in the Toufen Convent. This was no problem for Sister since she traveled back and forth every day on her motorcycle! Paulita worked for over 50 years with the Hakka and Aboriginal peoples in Taiwan. She was rewarded for this long and faithful service with a certifi cate of Permanent Residency making her a citizen of Taiwan. From 1954 until 2004, Sr. Paulita lived and worked in Taiwan doing a variety of pastoral-catechetical works in a number of parishes in Toufen in Miaoli County, Fenglin in Hualien County and Tungshih in Taichung County. Among other skills, she was an artist with a keen eye for unique pieces of wood. Despite the fact that her right hand had been severely crushed in a laundry mangle while she was still a novice, over

the years she carved beautiful wood crucifi xes from interesting branches she collected on her many mission trips into the mountains of the Miaoli area. All was not always serene in Taiwan. Sister Paulita relates how she survived a number of earthquakes like the one that claimed some 2,000 lives in September of 1999. She was at the epicenter of the quake in Tungshih. For three days the Sisters in Taiwan did not know if she had survived. When they fi nally made contact with her, she chose to remain for several weeks with the people in Tungshih, sleeping with them on the fl oor of the parish church – one of the few buildings in town that had remained unscathed. In 2004, Sister Paulita returned to the Maryknoll Sisters Center, NY where she continued to serve her community in various positions until 2012 when she retired. Sister Paulita made it to the remarkable age of 104 years old, despite being placed under house arrest by the Communist Regime, being a victim of a freak accident which left her with a severely crushed hand, and surviving several earthquakes in Taiwan.

Can Winton Woods break through? The Winton Woods baseball team has been easy to overlook for the better park of three decades. Since Forest Park and Greenhills combined in 1993, Winton Woods has experienced 25 consecutive losing seasons on the diamond. Is this the year that changes? Sixth-year skipper Mark Hadaya is conﬁ dent.

There are only seven upperclassmen in the program, but two of them will lead the Warriors this year. Senior Rae'Quan Prince, a three-sport start with contributions in football and basketball, hit .449 last year as the team's starting shortstop. Junior Nicolas Haynes also hit .449 and swiped 29 bases and was the club's most-used pitcher. Sophomore Caleb Tubbs started as a freshman last season at third base and was one of the Warriors' top pitchers. Winton Woods will join the Eastern

fenses that limited Pickerington Central to a 1-for-16 performance from the fi eld in the fourth quarter. "The fourth quarter we switched defenses on 'em and tried to keep 'em off balanced," Rogers said. "We had to stay tight. We couldn't let (Madison) Greene get off on penetration. I don't know if she was able to get inside tonight. She's a great player." Greene, a senior fi rst-team all-Ohio selection and Penn State University commit, was held to just two points on 1-of-7 shooting in the second half. She was the only Tiger in double fi gures with 10 - senior wing Maliya Perry added eight. "We kept switching from zone to man. We just said no threes and don't let them shoot their way back into the game. We held our ground and fi nished it out," Hoefl ing said. Mount Notre Dame did not sub into the game's waning moments as all fi ve starters played 31-plus minutes. Hoe-

Coaches notebook Rick Wilson, Princeton - The Vikings are hoping to recover from a 5-19 campaign in 2018 and 10 consecutive losing seasons. Wilson likes his team's fundamentally-sound defense and good chemistry. He's hoping to get good production and leadership from his senior class. "The seniors will hopefully show the fruit of their labors they brought into the program and have had their share of growing pains," Wilson said. "They were asked to play above their skill and age level for several years." Tim McCoy, Roger Bacon - The Spartans fi nished 11-13 last season, but ran into eventual district-champion Ross early in the postseason, losing 7-6. "We have 10 starters returning from last season. We also have 16 guys with varsity experience returning," McCoy said. "We had a heart-breaking loss to fi nish our season last year and these guys are using that as motivation every day." Roger Bacon returns 10 hurlers with varsity pitching experience and McCoy raves about his club's high baseball IQ. One of the Spartans' key returners is starting shortstop and pitcher Jake Speed, who has been an all-league selection two years in a row. Chris Hoff man, a junior, will play the corners of the infi eld and in the outfi eld. He hit .378 with 10 extra-base hits last season.

fl ing and Marshall, the two senior starters, were the last off the bench to receive their championship medals. In the duo's four years, Mount Notre Dame went 9315 with three Girls Greater Catholic League championships, four sectional titles, three district titles, two regional crowns and a pair of state championships. "It means so much," Hoefl ing said. "My goal at MND was two state championships and just to be able to get it means so much to me. We've worked so hard for this. I'm tired but just so happy. It's the best feeling in the world." Rogers added: "I can't wait to watch those two in college. It's gonna be a treat. Their legacy now is set. I don't know what else to say. Our girls have a lot to live up to, but they're used to it. I'm just really proud of them."

Princeton City School District adopts 100% Tobacco Free School Policy The Princeton Board of Education recently adopted a new 100% Tobacco Free School Policy based on the guidelines established by the Ohio Department of Health Tobacco Use Prevention and Cessation Program. All forms of tobacco are now prohibited by students, staﬀ , and visitors in all school facilities, on school and athletic grounds, and in parking lots. Tobacco use is prohibited at all times, including school-sponsored events that are held oﬀ -campus. “Adopting the 100% Tobacco Free School Policy in the Princeton City School District will help protect the health of our students, and hopefully help prevent them from starting to use

any tobacco products, specifi cally e-cigarette devices,” said Superintendent Tom Burton. Youth e-cigarette use in Ohio increased signifi cantly between 2017 and 2018. The 2018 National Youth Tobacco Survey indicates more than 7% of middle school students and more than 27% of high school students report using tobacco products, with nearly 5% and 21% using e-cigarettes, respectively. According to the Ohio Department of Health, as more public school systems adopt tobacco-free policies, these rates will decrease. The Ohio Department of Health Tobacco Use Prevention and Cessation Program provides guidance and resources for parents or school systems seeking to adopt a tobacco free policy.

COMMUNITY NEWS Kentucky lawmakers honor Sharonville painter Jim Hall Lawmakers in Frankfort gave a standing ovation during their recent session, honoring a late Kentuckyborn artist who created a new art form. Painter Jim Hall, who lived most of his life in Sharonville, developed his Lineillism technique after a case of the Shingles virus temporarily marred his vision, causing him to see in all vertical lines. Hall feared he was going blind but instead of panicking, he started painting what he was seeing. While the lines eventually faded from his vision, Hall continued to paint in the Lineillism style, creating more than 100 works before he died in 2017 at the age of 84. Hall’s inspiring story was captured by fi lmmakers Steve Oldfi eld and Jim Hampton who created the award-winning documentary, “Lines of Sight,” currently airing on KET. “I know Jim (Hall) was with us in the House gallery,” said Oldfi eld, who was recognized during the tribute along with his mother Jean, a friend of Hall’s, and the artist’s son Mike Hall and daughter-in-law, Dena. “We were all tearing up thinking about Jim and seeing the respect lawmakers and visitors had for him after hearing his story,” Oldfi eld said. State Rep. Rick Rand, who represents Henry County where Hall grew up, drafted a resolution to honor the painter. “When I saw the documentary on KET, I thought, ‘What an inspiring story,’” Rand said. “Hall is a role model for all Kentuckians to follow when faced with adversity.” Thanks to Rand, Hall’s story is now part of the historical record in the House of Representatives. “This all means so much to our family,” said Mike Hall. “I know Dad was here with us, smiling from earto-ear.” The resolution will be featured in a traveling Art Exhibit about Hall created by Oldfi eld and Hampton called “Lineillism Revealed.” It premiered at the Behringer Crawford Museum in 2017 and is headed to Thomas More University later this year, where Oldfi eld lectures in the Communication Department. Hall’s son Mike is organizing the sale of a dozen of his father’s paintings next month. They will be auctioned through Everything But The House, April 1-7. Ryan Johnson

Active Day Beckman Center celebrates 40th anniversary milestone COLERAIN – Active Day Beckman Center, a day program for adults with developmental disabilities, is celebrating 40 years of day services on April 4, 2019 with an open house. Since 1979, the Elmer P. Beckman Adult Center has provided opportunities for activity programming as well as prevocational work training for its members. The festivities on April 4 kick off at 1 p.m. and are open to the public, community partners, friends, families and anyone else who would like to celebrate this important milestone. Guests at the event will enjoy snacks, a center scavenger hunt, a timeline of events, old photos, catching up with old friends and meeting new friends as well. From its opening in 1979 through April of 2017, Beckman Center was operated by Hamilton County Developmental Disabilities Services, a government social services agency established through Ohio state law. Due to federal mandates to County Boards to cease operating day centers due to a confl ict of interest, an invitation was issued to any willing provider to assume operations of Beckman as well as its two sister centers in Hamilton County; Kidd Center and Franks Center. Active Day, the leading provider of adult day health services with over 100 centers across the United States, assumed operation of Beckman Center in May 2017. The quality of services as well as the dedicated team of staff and leadership was not lost in this transition. Today, Beckman Center serves 148 adults with developmental disabilities. The team of staff including Tom Ciulla (Center Director), Karen Dobson (Activities Manager), Connie Jordon (Production Manager), Laurie Baldrick (RN) and 30 others represent over 300 combined years working at Beckman Center. Beckman is open Monday through Friday and provides services between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. The center is named after Elmer P. Beckman, a pioneer for special education in Ohio. Mr. Beckman was one of the fi rst certifi ed special-education teachers in Ohio. He passed away in 2000 at the age of 82. Tom Ciulla
