‘IT’S CRUSHING’ Springdale offi cer killed on duty was a leader in the community Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Kaia Grant surprised those who knew her when she joined the police force.

But Grant, the 33-year-old Springdale offi cer killed on March 21 in the line of duty, was particularly well suited to serve, according to her former teachers and a former judge whom she interacted with as a cop.

She was “the kind of person you would want as a police offi cer,” said Darby Lyons, who taught English for decades at Wyoming High School and counted Grant among a group of top students in her honors English class during the 2003-04 academic year.

“Someone who isn’t quick to anger,” Lyons said to describe Grant. “She was tough, but she also had a big heart.”

Grant died while trying to help others – a role she embraced often in life.

That Saturday night, Elmwood police began pursuing a man, Terry Blankenship, with a felony aggravated burglary warrant, according to police offi cials. The warrant was fi led March 20 in Clinton County.

The pursuit tracked westbound on Interstate 275, toward where Grant and Davis had exited their separate cars to set up tire-defl ation devices. Blankenship, 42, of Loveland then collided with Grant’s parked cruiser around 8:16 p.m. on I-275 near State Route 4, according to Springdale Public Information Offi cer Keenan Riordan. The crash killed Grant and injured Davis.

Blankenship was seriously injured and was in custody at a hospital when this article was originally published.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine began his March 22 COVID-19 address by paying tribute to Grant, calling her a well-respected offi cer and saying his thoughts are with her family. Flags in Hamilton County and at the Statehouse will fl y at half-staff .

“It’s crushing,” said Fanon Rucker, a former Hamilton County municipal judge whose courtroom Grant often graced with her thoughtfulness.

Police: Man threatened ‘suicide by cop’ before crash that killed Officer Kaia Grant Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER

The man police say deliberately rammed into a Springdale police cruiser killing an offi cer had threatened “suicide by cop” before the crash, according to new information from the Blanchester Police Department.

The agency released more details about what led to the police pursuit Saturday, March 21 that ended with the death of 33-year-old Springdale Police Offi cer Kaia Grant Terry Blankenship, 42, will likely be charged in connection with the crash. Blanchester police said he was wanted by their agency, and Elmwood Place police had attempted to stop him on that open warrant.

Offi cials said that Thursday, March 19, Blanchester offi cers were called to Center Street after Blankenship broke into his estranged wife’s trailer Police said Blankenship broke down the door of the trailer, threatened her new boyfriend at gunpoint and pistol-whipped the man before fl eeing.

Prior to fl eeing the residence, Blankenship commented that he “could have the police shoot him,” offi cials said.

Investigators said Blankenship had a concealed

weapons permit and four prior arrests on domestic violence.

Blanchester police issued a notice to surrounding agencies to look out for Blankenship, saying he had threatened “suicide by cop.”

Investigators reached out specifi cally to Elmwood Place and Loveland, where they believed Blankenship lived and worked.

It was an Elmwood Place offi cer who located him March 21 and started the pursuit that led them to Interstate 275.

Grant and Springdale police Sgt. Andrew Davis were planning to assist in the pursuit by deploying stop sticks and were monitoring the situation on the radio as Blankenship approached.

“I know our offi cers used their vehicles as shields,” Springfi eld public information offi cer Keenan Riordan said. “We never expected the suspect to – what we believe – deliberately ram the vehicles and use his own vehicle as a weapon.”

Blankenship was hospitalized as of Monday, March 23. Upon his release, he was scheduled to be sent to the Hamilton County Justice Center.

Schools’ food pick-up sites provide relief for families Max Londberg

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The strain of social isolation is building for families, but there's a bright spot to be had most weekdays at the two dozen Cincinnati Public Schools food distribution sites.

On Wednesday, March 25, 3-year-old Carlie Shaw ran toward a table in the parking lot of Oyler School in Lower Price Hill and hugged a uniformed Cincinnati police offi cer, telling her she missed her.

Next she chased her older sister, Calli Glover, 5, up and down the sidewalk.

Then she fi shed out a head of broccoli and a chocolate-milk carton from the plastic bags given to her family.

They contained meals for two lunches and two breakfasts. The food is there for any child under 19 years old, regardless if they attend a CPS school or not.

A child or children must be present in order to receive food at one of the 24 sites across the city.

The food is available through CPS for any family with children who may need a little help amid the novel coronavirus crisis.

Families can pick up food on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the sites listed in this story and on the CPS website.

CPS distributed nearly 50,000 meals in the fi rst week of the program.

Sinaca Wagoner, an entrepreneur, drove his two children to Oyler on March 25.

His business began to suff er as Ohio's stay-at-home order took eff ect, and the food from his children's school takes a "big toll off the shoulders."

His partner, Renee Oliver, said the oranges, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, carrots and milk have helped keep her children healthy.

Christina Helton, a mother of three, said the food assistance has prevented the family from facing hunger.

tor, said when Grant presented misdemeanor cases as part of her role as an offi cer in his courtroom, she was always in the right spot, always reasonable and pleasant to converse with.

“I know she’s a rarity as a female offi cer and particularly a black female offi cer in one of our suburban municipalities,” Rucker said. “All around it’s a tragedy.”

Springdale Police Chief Thomas Wells called the loss a “deep tragedy for our city and for our police offi cers.”

Grant graduated in 2005 from Wyoming High School before enrolling at the College of William & Mary in Virginia, where she studied political science and economics.

After college, she worked with children in Cincinnati before shifting her foCOMMUNITY PRESS & RECORDER NEWSPAPERS ❚ 312 Elm Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202 ❚ 2116 Chamber Center Drive, Fort Mitchell, KY 41017 NEWS TIPS ........................................513-903-6027 HOME DELIVERY .............................513-853-6277 ADVERTISING...................................513-768-8404 CLASSIFIEDS ....................................513-242-4000

Picking it up serves another purpose, too. It allows children an opportunity to burn some energy outside.

"They need to go outside. They're going to tear my house down," Helton joked.

Carlie and Calli's mother, Madeline Gilker, said her children's days are brightened by seeing their teachers and other school staff .

Carlie and Calli, both Oyler students, miss their friends and are becoming anxious as isolation continues to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus and relieve the strain on the medical system as Ohio cases increase.

Gilker said the school has provided big relief amid trying times. She's received simple check-in messages from school offi cials and a call from a teacher who told her about the food distribution, encouraging her to check it out for the fi rst time on March 25.

"School has been very helpful in making sure kids are getting what they need," Gilker said.

Federal law requires children to be present in order to receive food. But some of the distribution sites also have a nearby community partner where families can pick up more food and other supplies.

An adult woman who asked for assistance in the Oyler school parking lot was redirected by CPS staff to the Oyler House, located across Hatmaker Street from the school. A National Guard cargo vehicle had stopped outside the nonprofi t community center earlier in the day to drop off dozens of boxes of goods such as Top Ramen, boxed pasta, pancake syrup and paper towels, among others.

Oyler Principal Amy Randolph helped unload.

Though Randolph misses sharing hugs with her students, whom she waves to when she takes neighborhood walks, she has been uplifted by the support from various people and organizations.

Lauren Marlow, a dietitian who

works for CPS student dining services, said families have also received homework packets, coloring books and games while picking up food from the 24 sites.

These are the locations where any family can pick up food, if a child or children accompany them: ❚ AMIS, 1908 E Seymour Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45237. ❚ Bond Hill, 1510 California Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45237. ❚ Cheviot, 4040 Harrison Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45211. ❚ Douglass, 2627 Park Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45206. ❚ Hays, 1030 Cutter St., Cincinnati, OH 45203. ❚ JP Parker, 5051 Anderson Place, Cincinnati, OH 45227. ❚ LEAP Academy, 2001 Baltimore Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45225. ❚ Mount Airy, 5730 Colerain Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45239. ❚ Mount Washington, 1730 Mears Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45230. ❚ Oyler, 2121 Hatmaker St., Cincinnati, OH 45204. ❚ Parker Woods, 4370 Beech Hill Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45223. ❚ Pleasant Hill, 1350 W, North Bend Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45224. ❚ Riverview, 3555 Kellogg Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45226. ❚ Roberts, 1702 Grand Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45214. ❚ Rockdale, 335 Rockdale Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45229, ❚ Roselawn, 1594 Summit Road, Cincinnati, OH 45237. ❚ Rothenberg, 241 E.

CPS has one of the highest proportions of students who qualify to receive free or reduced-priced meals of any Ohio district.

In October 2018, CPS students received more than half a million free or reduced-price lunches, according to Ohio Department of Education data.

CPS had an average daily participation rate in the program amounting to nearly 25,000 lunches distributed that month, and nearly 17,000 breakfasts.

More than two in fi ve CPS families qualify for food stamps.

Freestore Foodbank also off ers food and La Soupe has fresh produce at its locations.

The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, though closed, is offering free meals to all children ages 18 and under, with help from the UMC Food Ministry.

Ready-to-eat meals will be available Monday through Friday at the following library locations and times: ❚ 12-1 p.m.: Elmwood Place, Groesbeck, Madisonville, North Central, Reading and Main Library. ❚ 2-3 p.m.: Avondale, Bond Hill, College Hill, Pleasant Ridge, West End, and Westwood. ❚ 4-5 p.m.: Corryville, Covedale, Deer Park, St. Bernard, and Walnut Hills.

Several restaurants and other organizations are also off ering free meals to children who qualify for free or reduced lunch in school.

Habanero Latin American Fare in Clifton plans to off er lunches to CPS students who qualify for free or reduced lunch. The lunches will be ready at 11 a.m. daily. In order to receive a lunch, call Habanero at 513-961-6800 or direct message on Facebook.

cus to law enforcement.

The decision surprised Lyons and Todd Siler, another one of Grant’s former teachers at Wyoming.

In college, Grant had interned in the U.S. Senate, Lyons said. Grant and Lyons once discussed the senators they would enjoy chatting with over a beer if they ever had the chance.

Siler said that even as a freshman, Grant had a zest for the political process, caring for issues far more than the “celebrity of politics.”

“She was just energized by it,” Siler said, adding that she volunteered for various causes, including John Kerry’s 2004 presidential bid.

Grant even won recognition for her advocacy when teachers chose her for an esteemed leadership award, Siler said.

In school, Grant chose her words, and when to share them, with care, lending more weight to her thoughts when she did announce them, Lyons said.

She didn’t see politics as pitting people against each other but rather as a way to “fi gure out how to make things work better,” Lyons said.

She became an offi cer to direct that drive to help others in a new way, Lyons believes.

And as an offi cer, Grant led by example, said Cam Hardy, the president of the Better Bus Coalition, a grassroots group of bus riders and advocates.

Hardy, who met Grant when the two

volunteered for a local political campaign, said Grant motivated him to become more involved in politics.

“She was always a leader,” Hardy said. “She was very calm and collected at all times. Respectful but passionate.”

Hardy, who nicknamed his friend “Mayor Grant,” once embarked on foot to canvas for busing along a road with no sidewalks. Grant pulled over and offered Hardy a ride in her police cruiser.

“She will truly be missed,” Hardy said. “Her activism and pride for the community she served will live through me and others every single day.”

COVID-19 pandemic will unite or drive us farther apart Ken Chen Guest Columnist Community Press

I had plans to visit family in China over the summer. I’ll be graduating soon, and my mother thought this could likely be the last time I see my aging grandparents. We got our plane tickets refunded in full after the outbreak of the new coronavirus. Lucky us.

I learned quickly that I shouldn’t mention the fact that my father had been in China when the outbreak had fi rst made headlines; it would only fan the fl ames of hysteria that already had been lit. It doesn’t matter if he was a thousand miles away from the epicenter, or that we had essentially quarantined him for two weeks after he returned.

COVID-19 has now arrived in Ohio, and there’s an odd sort of duality to the fallout. I can’t reconcile the suspicious

remarks – “Aren’t you supposed to give me coronavirus?” – with the memes that have inundated my Instagram Explore page, or the Costco shelves bereft of any and all Clorox products with the jokes – “Someone needs to take one for the team so we can shut down the school.”

This virus seems to be simultaneously serious enough to infl ame racial tensions and hypochondriacs and humorous enough to become the internet’s next laughingstock. I marvel at the insularity and insensitivity when my peers laugh and cringe at videos of a woman eating a bat, while my grandparents are huddled in their tiny apartment in Beijing, having not left for weeks. They are locked down not only because of the government’s increasingly stringent measures, but also because, for octogenarians, the death rate is in double digits.

Sure, thousands of people are dying, but they’re decidedly not white and all

seem to have a taste for wild animals.

Their lives are therefore not worth even a shred of empathy.

And this in and of itself would be enough, but some of my own family has decided to pile on. While posting photos of themselves in facemasks from their Guangzhou home, they condemn the American government for its mishandling of evacuations – which is valid – and they condemn us because by virtue of our American citizenship, we are somehow responsible for the Chinese government’s refusal of Centers for Disease Control and World Health Organization aid.

My mother seethes at the increasingly unhinged nature of conversations, and I quietly respond that this isn’t new.

Our international relations are rarely cordial, and sometimes 7,000 miles is too great a distance.

Brainwashing runs deeper than blood.

The CAM Asian Supermarket and

Asian restaurants across Cincinnati are empty. Phone calls are no longer returned, and when I close my eyes, I can hear clipped, Cantonese shouting in one ear and cold, cruel laughter in the other.

But I guess I’m a little used to it. To be Asian American is to be “other” from both the nation you call home and the one you trace your heritage to. It’s just that today, the rifts are starker than usual, the middle ground that people like me inhabit lonelier.

COVID-19 has exacerbated the fear, resentment and suspicion that has always been there, and, as it spreads, I can only assume that the process will continue. Perhaps I’ll be proven wrong. Perhaps people will realize that a virus does not discriminate on the basis of race.

Perhaps the urgency of the situation will lead to the unity we need.

We’ll have to wait and see.

Ingredients

Spinach or other greens — chopped coarsely (optional)

1 pound penne or other pasta

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon garlic

Parmesan, Romano or Mozzarella for garnish

⁄ 3 to 1⁄ 2cup olive oil (I use 1⁄ 2 cup)

2-3 teaspoons dried oregano

While pasta water heats, start sauce.

3 cans favorite beans, drained (I like Cannellini, red, kidney, chick peas)

Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls. Place 2” apart onto ungreased or parchment lined cookie sheets. Press each ball with fork tines.

Heat olive oil, add garlic and oregano.

Stir a minute or so, then add everything but spinach and cheese. Bring to boil. Lower to simmer, smooshing some of the beans with a potato masher.

Bake 8-10 minutes, just until edges are golden. Don’t overbake.

Let cool a few minutes and then remove. Makes about 2-3 dozen.

By this time, the pasta water should be boiling, ready to add pasta. By the time the pasta’s done, the sauce is, too. Stir in spinach. Pour sauce over pasta. Sprinkle with plenty of cheese.

Gilding the lily: Before baking, sprinkle with a bit of coarse, regular or sparkling sugar. After baking and cooled, dip into melted chocolate, etc.

IN SCIENCE LIVES HOPE.

An open letter to our community: We are living in an unprecedented time. COVID-19 poses a significant challenge for our city, our country and our world.

As Greater Cincinnati’s academic health system, it is both our privilege and our responsibility to be a source of hope for those who need it most: plainly, we advance healing and reduce suffering by providing world-class care from deeply committed and experienced caregivers and physicians in specialty and subspecialty medicine. Their life’s calling is to deliver care compassionately, faithfully teach and mentor future clinicians, and lead the research to discover the next cure or treatment protocol — this is what we do every day.

This timeless purpose will not falter, even during a pandemic.

No doubt you have seen recent news coverage stating that Ohio is leading the way, under the leadership of Gov. Mike DeWine, local government leaders and the Ohio Department of Health’s Medical Director, Dr. Amy Acton, in response to COVID-19. I am proud of the way that our community is coming together in new ways to care for our friends and neighbors.

At UC Health, we’re taking every precaution to protect our patients, our employees and our clinicians. We’re making difficult decisions like restricting visitor access and asking our nonclinical workforce to work from home, supporting the governor’s direction. The most important thing we can do is make sure our patients, employees and clinicians know that we care about their safety and wellbeing.

The number one question we are receiving is, “How can I help?”

There are many ways to help those on the frontlines across our city caring for our communities, including the families of those employees. They are the best of us, and we are here to support them.

• Send cards, letters and drawings to share with residents and patients who are restricted from visitors (e.g. those in nursing homes or senior living facilities).

• Support the emergency response efforts of UC Health by donating to the UC Health Crisis Response Fund through our UC Health Foundation.

• Purchase a “Strength in Unity” shirt at cincyshirts.com. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these shirts will benefit the YMCA day camps that are providing childcare for our city’s healthcare workers.

• Support the United Way’s COVID-19 Regional Response Fund, whose proceeds benefit those struggling with food insecurity, housing and shelter, medical needs, and childcare/elder care.

The Cincinnati community has seen hardship before. We know that if we gather our hearts (not hands) we can role model our collective response for the country and beyond. More importantly, we’ll show the next generation what it means to love one another in a new way and to stand together, even in the face of fear or uncertainty.

Our UC Health family believes in our city’s motto and the motto on the seal of the University of Cincinnati: juncta juvant, which means “strength in unity.” As one team, and one community, we will get through this together.

And, we will offer even more hope to Cincinnati.

Gannett launches website to help small businesses Users can provide community support by buying gift cards for later use Brett Molina USA TODAY

Gannett, the owner of USA TODAY and more than 260 daily local media properties, is launching a nationwide eff ort to help communities support local small businesses during the coronavirus crisis.

The media company announced Monday a new website, supportlocal.usatoday.com, that will allow users to select local businesses in their community to support by buying gift cards for use at

a later time. Visitors and business owners can also add local businesses to the platform.

“We feel that local businesses are such a core part of the fabric of the country and the communities we all live in,” said Kevin Gentzel, Gannett’s chief revenue offi cer. “They really are a refl ection of the heartbeat of America.”

Last Wednesday, Gentzel and Maribel Perez Wadsworth, president of Gannett’s news division and publisher of USA TODAY, wrote a joint op-ed in USA TODAY urging local communities to support small businesses during the crisis.

The COVID-19 pandemic has ground everyday life in the U.S. and other parts of the world to a halt. More than 33,000

cases of illness have been reported in the U.S. and more than 400 people have died.

Small businesses have been hit hard.

Many shut down to help curb the spread of the virus, though essential businesses have largely remained open, including grocery stores, gas stations and pharmacies, some with shortened hours to clean and restock. Many restaurants are also open but only off er takeout or delivery orders.

Dinner reservation app OpenTable released new data showing just how severe the situation is for restaurants throughout the country. Sit-down dining at U.S. restaurants that participate in the company’s reservation system have screeched to a halt. Reservations

and walk-ins on Saturday, March 21, were down 100% from the same day in 2019, according to OpenTable.

Lawmakers are working on emergency packages to help small businesses cover expenses as they remain shut down while consumers shelter at home and practice social distancing.

On Saturday during a White House coronavirus task force briefi ng, President Donald Trump said he talked with thousands of small-business owners about the crisis in a conference call. He also has spoken with restaurant industry representatives.

“I assured them my administration is doing everything within its very considerable power to support them and their employees,” Trump said.

SCHOOL NEWS CHCA senior recognized as King Legacy Youth Leadership Honoree Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy senior Quinlan Wilson was recently recognized as one of three 2019 King Legacy Youth Leadership Honorees at the 2020 King Legacy Awards Breakfast at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.

Among the honorees, the awards featured keynote speaker Betty Daniels Rosemond, Freedom Rider and Businesswoman.

Quinlan was one of 20 students in Greater Cincinnati accepted into the 2018-2019 Youth Docent Program at the Freedom Center – an opportunity for which he had to apply and interview. He was then one of only six invited into the King’s Legacy program (and one of three who completed their program).

Through this intensive opportunity, he was given extensive training, completed approximately 100 service hours as a docent, and completed an independent research project on Segregation in Cincinnati Schools.

He then presented at the Cincinnati High School Diversity Summit, as well as at the Award Breakfast, where he received a standing ovation to the sold-out crowd of 300 city politician, leaders, entrepreneurs, and change-makers on his topic.

Quinlan’s mother, Christine Wilson, is extremely proud of his accomplishments through this program and shared of Quinlan’s work and the event, “Quin worked so hard on this; he was relieved that it came to fruition and loved sharing with folks and shaking hands and answering questions. He felt satisfi ed that it was worth the work. Of the three honorees, he was awarded the highest scholarship and was elated that he received that honor.”

Afterwards, he was available for questions. It was there that he shook hands and shared his thoughts several city council members, state senators, and local newscasters. They then marched to Music Hall for another segment of the day, where he was announced again by WLWT’s Curtis Fuller and the Mayor of Cincinnati, John Cranley.

CHCA’s Upper School Principal, Dr. Dean Nicholas, had this to share about Quinlan’s award, “As we work to become a more diverse and inclusive community at CHCA, Quin is out front in our student body and in the greater Cincinnati community. His research on the

historical data of school integration in the Cincinnati area is insightful and his loving and generous spirit make him a powerful leader for change in our community. I’m proud of him for the person he has been at CHCA all these years, and I’m excited to see the continued impact he will have on the greater world!”

Quinlan met with his principal to discuss opportunities at CHCA after his research, and they are very much looking forward to the impact his work could have on their school community.

Please join us as we recognize the 2019 King Legacy Youth Leadership Honorees at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. The keynote speaker will be Betty Daniels Rosemond, Freedom Rider and Businesswoman.

Sports OHSAA cancels winter sports tournaments Spring sports still in question Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS – One week after a live press conference addressing the sudden postponement of winter tournaments and spring sports due to the novel coronavirus outbreak, the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) offi cially ended the winter season for wrestling, basketball and ice hockey on Thursday afternoon, according to numerous Ohio high school administrators.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it's anticipated that schools will not be able to reopen for many weeks, preventing interscholastic athletics.

These four winter state tournaments (boys basketball, girls basketball, wres-

tling and hockey) and a few events during World War II (1941-45) are the only sports cancellations in the history of the OHSAA, which was founded in 1907.

The start of the OHSAA’s spring sports of softball, lacrosse, baseball, track and fi eld and boys tennis is still postponed, which coincides with schools not being open. OHSAA coaches can communicate electronically with their athletes, but no practices, scrimmages or contests of any kind are permitted until further notice.

“We are just devastated that the tournaments cannot be completed,” said Snodgrass. “But our priority is the safety of our student-athletes, coaches, communities and offi cials.

“Governor Mike DeWine is asking all Ohioans to do everything they can to stop the spread of this virus. That request, along with our schools not being able to reopen for weeks, means that school sports cannot happen at this time. Even if our schools reopen this

spring, it will be diffi cult to fi nd facilities willing to host the tournaments. Most campuses are shut down until mid to late summer. We are already planning for ways that these student-athletes will be honored at next year’s state tournament,” The 16 schools that qualifi ed for the girls basketball state tournament and the four teams that qualifi ed for the ice hockey state tournament will receive state tournament programs.

The 672 wrestlers who qualifi ed for the state tournament will all receive a program, certifi cate and weigh-in card.

No state champions will be listed for these four sports in 2020.

The OHSAA does not use state polls from the media or coaches associations to determine state champions.

Among local teams having their seasons cut short, Moeller's boys basketball team will not be able to attempt a third straight Division I championship, and Mount Notre Dame's girls team will

be unable to bring an undefeated season to closure on the court.

The dozens of Cincinnati wrestlers who advanced to the state tournament now will not get to compete for state titles.

OHSAA offi ces offi cially closed March 18 in response to the pandemic and are slated to remain closed until April 6 (the tentative date for spring sports to resume, if they resume).

OHSAA staff have continued to meet remotely outside of the March 19 press conference where Commissioner Jerry Snodgrass addressed 30 media members (as permitted by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines) and a statewide audience via streaming.

Thursday's release was via email only because DeWine's "Stay-at-Home" restrictions.

Moeller, MND react as OHSAA halts postseason Scott Springer

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A third consecutive Ohio Division I boys basketball title will not happen for Moeller High School, nor will Mount Notre Dame’s girls team raise a secondstraight state championship trophy.

Likewise, local wrestlers like reigning state champions Dustin Norris of La Salle or Alex Coleman of Ross will not get the chance to stand on the podium at Ohio State’s Schottenstein Center in 2020.

For the fi rst time since the World War II era, the Ohio High School Athletic Association won’t fi nish winter tournaments as a result of the novel coronavirus pandemic. The OHSAA informed school administrators Thursday morning.

Moeller: ‘We held up hope ‘til we knew for sure’ Moeller basketball coach Carl Kremer ended a season with a victory on the last day Ohio prep basketball was played for the sixth time. Sadly, only fi ve of those seasons will be recognized as championships. Thursday’s OHSAA release said coaches or media polls would not be used to determine state champions for 2020.

“I reached out to the guys right away after the announcement was made,” Kremer said. “I thought the chances of us ever playing again were very limited, but we held up hope ‘til we knew for sure.”

What happened next was heart-

warming for the veteran coach as the players joined in the group text expressing how they loved playing with each other and how much they respected the seniors.

Kremer’s Crusaders followed up last year’s 29-0 mark with a 26-1 record after defeating Centerville in a regional semifi nal played in front of a limited audience due to COVID-19 restrictions in place at the time. Their lone loss came Dec. 7 to Division II Akron St. VincentSt. Mary, whom they defeated in last year’s Division I championship.

Moeller was the wire-to-wire No. 1 team in the state in each Ohio Sportswriter’s Association poll of the regular season.

Though the Crusaders will return highly-recruited junior starters Logan Duncomb, Alex Williams and Will McCracken next season, the OHSAA decision marked the end of the careers of senior starters Max Land (St. Francis, PA signee) and Michael Currin, as well as reserves Ryan Stacey and Nolan Lyon.

“They both had incredible years,” Kremer said of starters Land and Currin. “Max was First-Team All-State and Michael Currin was an amazing leader all year and an amazing leader at our school. Nolan Lyon and Ryan Stacey were scout team players, but they had amazing team leadership this year.

That was what was especially great about this team. We really had a great connection on our team, player one through 15.”

Kremer said they accept the fate of not offi cially being a champion, but are nonetheless proud of their accomplish-

ments recognized in polls.

“When we start in June (recognized team month for the next season) it won’t be about what happened this year,” Kremer said. “Hopefully when all this breaks, we’ll fi nd the time to have a banquet and put closure on this year.

But, then its time to move on with a new cast of characters and a whole new journey.”

‘Nobody loves being up there more than we do’ When the OHSAA released the news, Mount Notre Dame girls basketball coach Dr. Scott Rogers was dressed in protective garb seeing a patient.

Rogers is a practicing Madeira dentist having to balance real-life issues related to the coronavirus outbreak and his side job of leading one of the more successful basketball programs around.

“We were hoping we would get a two or three-week window where we could get it done,” Rogers said. “But, things are bad. There’s really more important things to focus on right now.”

His MND Cougars were 28-0, Southwest regional champions and a pair of wins away from hoisting another trophy in Columbus.

“Nobody loves being up there more than we do,” Rogers said of going to Columbus where the Cougars have historically won seven titles (four with Rogers as head coach). “It’s such a privilege and we know how hard it is to get there.

The priority right now is the health of See REACT, PAGE 2B

After 446 wins between Wyoming and Madeira high schools, Jim Reynolds had to move about 1,800 miles from Cincinnati to Tucson to win his fi rst state championship.

Nearly fi ve years since coaching his last game for the Madeira Mustangs in 2015, Reynolds directed Salpointe Catholic to the Arizona 4-A title Feb. 29 with a 54-48 overtime victory over Peoria.

“After it happens, you start to realize how many really good coaches there are that weren’t as fortunate,” Reynolds said. “I’d say most years there’s a number of teams that have a chance to be a state champion in a division and things just happen. We didn’t have any injuries and our guys really got along well.”

In three years at Salpointe, Reynolds has been the state runner-up, a semifi nalist and now champion. In addition, he picked up his 500th career coaching win in December.

“It’s much more of a journey to be a champion in Ohio than it is in Arizona,” Reynolds said.

Reynolds cites the number of teams in Ohio, compared to Arizona with fewer teams because of bigger schools.

At Division III Madeira, the Mustangs had Lebron James in their division for two years. In four of the years the North College Hill team with future NBA players O.J. Mayo and Bill Walker were also DIII.

COMMUNITY NEWS Casco Manufacturing Solutions ready to help U.S. with essential medical soft goods Casco Manufacturing Solutions of Camp Washington has the capability to help the nation by supplying needed medical soft goods during the COVID-19 pandemic, says president and CEO Melissa Mangold.

And while Casco is a small shop with 40 employees, it’s one of only a handful of soft goods manufacturers left in the U.S. today.

It also has the capability to ramp up production and deliver fi nished products within a few days.

“If it involves a piece of fabric, we can make it,” said Mangold of Symmes Township. “I hear in the news that we’ll need additional hospital beds across the country. Casco can’t make ventilators, but we can supply the soft goods needed to outfi t additional ICU beds and deliver them to healthcare facilities.”

Casco can also manufacture personal protective gear for healthcare workers, such as gowns and booties, as well as provide its usual line of mattresses, replacement covers, stretcher pads, and OR table pads.Casco continues to fi ll customer orders during the pandemic and can supply hospitals, nursing homes, and healthcare facilities, as well as individual orders.

Large orders can be delivered within a few days, and smaller orders can be drop-shipped.

The 60-year-old, woman-owned business has in place stringent cleaning and washing procedures for both its industrial sewing machine operators and front offi ce employees. It follows the Centers for Disease Control, the National Institutes of Health, and local boards of health guidelines on how to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

“At Casco, we are a family, and in the spirit of loving and helping others, we go to work every day knowing we’re improving the comfort of health-impaired peo-

each other and being safe.”

From the current Cougars, the cancellation ends the prep careers of Makira Cook (Dayton signee), Grace Centrulla (Mercyhurst signee) and Courtney Nichols.

“They’re very disappointed, but they expected it,” Rogers said. “I told them to be realistic. Based on the news conferences, the state tournament seemed to be not such an important thing.”

Rogers plans a formal gathering when possible to honor what was MND’s second undefeated team and fi rst since 2004.

“This team was really special,” Rogers said. “It was kind of like the white elephant in the room. They were going after 30-0. Unfortunately, they’re not going to have that chance. In a way, it’s a great life lesson. Things happen and you have to adjust.”

Coach Continued from Page 1B

Boston last season to catch another former player, Andrew Benintendi.

When Benintendi was in high school, the Red Sox outfi elder hit the hardwood in the winter for the Mustangs, making Ohio Division III Player of the Year as a junior when he averaged 24.2 points per game, then following that with a 25.1 average his senior season.

“The best time I had was when I went down on the fi eld for batting practice,” Reynolds said of his trip to Boston. “He moved us over into the photographers’ well and we were able to talk for about 20 minutes. He doesn’t want a whole lot of extra attention. He’s always been quiet, very humble.”

Once Reynolds and Salpointe nailed down their Arizona 4-A state title, the head coach had to drive the team van back to Tucson. But, he did receive and answer a text from the famous Boston lefty. When he texted Andrew, Reynolds recalled the joy he felt when Boston won the World Series in 2018. Beyond Benintendi, the coach’s phone was full of wellwishers.

“I had probably over 100 text messages, emails or phone calls from so many former players, coaches, assistant coaches, offi cials and some opposing coaches. The one thing you realize is when you go out into a game, you carry all those people with you, the lessons you’ve learned and all of the experiences you’ve had.”

How the West was won The original move to Arizona was to be near son Ryan, assistant athletic director/director of basketball operations at the University of Arizona under former Xavier coach Sean Miller. Reynolds was unsure of his coaching plans but needed to teach to keep his health insurance intact.

Through Ryan’s contacts, he served

Mangold. “We know how urgent it is that we supply the nation for a possible surge in COVID-19 cases. But we’re also extremely proud of our work and want government and healthcare supply organizations to know we are here and ready to be of service.”

Casco is an original equipment manufacturer specializing in cutting, sealing, and sewing top-quality products for soft goods industry leaders. It manufactures its own C-Matt hospital line of mattresses and covers, and the Casco Prevention Plus Pad, a wheelchair pad designed to help eliminate “hot spots” for wheelchair patients to prevent, as well as help heal pressure injuries.

ple who need our products,” said Mangold.

Team members are encouraged to monitor their health and well-being, and are asked to stay at home if they or someone in their household becomes ill. The company has also suspended business air travel for team members through April 30 and is recommending virtual meetings and conference calls in place of faceto-face meetings.

“We’ve impressed upon our employees the current state of emergency and they understand the CDC’s recommendations regarding proper hand-washing techniques and adequately sanitized surfaces,” said

Wrestlers knew deep down this was the end The OHSAA state individual wrestling tournament also was slated for March 13-15. Greater Cincinnati had no ice hockey teams left in play, the fourth winter tournament canceled.

Going into the postseason, Elder and Mason were ranked 1-2 by Southwest Ohio coaches. Coach Jason Roush’s Elder Panthers were able to participate in the State Team Dual Tournament on Feb. 16, but the individual tournament normally draws more fanfare.

“I think deep down they (Elder wrestlers) assumed this was where it was going to end up,” Roush said. “It probably would have been tough to pull off . I really feel for our seniors. It was their last shot to achieve some of their goals.”

At 126-pounds, senior Jack Collins qualifi ed for the state meet for the third time and had a win in Elder’s state dual appearance, but won’t get his hand raised anymore as a prep wrestler. Neither will senior Willie Doepker, a state placer as a sophomore. Seth Lambers,

at a school on a part-time basis, only to fi nd out that he still missed being the chief organizer.

When the school Sean Miller’s son played for (Salpoint) had an opening, Miller reached out to Ryan who relayed the message to his father and suddenly the Lancers had a new coach.

“The fi rst 17 games we were 3-14,” Reynolds said. “We had graduated really the heart of the team that had gone” to the championship game and lost. We needed to clean up a little bit and we had really inexperienced guys, but we had a really good player who had transferred in. This kid starts playing on Jan. 11 (2018). Since then we’ve gone 69-6.”

Harvard-bound Evan Nelson was the player. He selected the Ivy League out of double-digit off ers, mainly out West.

“We had a unique group,” Reynolds said. “It was a position-less team. We basically had two guys 6-3 to 6-4, another guy 6-2 and two other guys about 6-foot. One of them was Sean Miller’s son, Braden. They could all drive either direction and they could all make threes. We were 61% from the fi eld this year, which is ludicrously good.”

Court comparisons As for Harvard, Reynold said the Crimson will be getting a great ballhandler who shares an important attribute with his former star, Benintendi.

“They have no fear of failure,” Reynolds said. “If they take the game-winning shot and don’t make it, they’ll take it the next time.”

Reynolds also is gearing up for his next shot, realizing a trophy held high will bring plenty of competitors shooting for him.

“When I think about why you play sports, it’s all about relationships in the end,” Reynolds said. “It’s a sweeter relationship if you can say you won a state championship probably, but I can’t say it’s any less close than all the other teams I’ve coached. It’s all about relationships. You wouldn’t want to win state with nobody texting you.”

Glendale named Tree City USA for 24th consecutive year Dan Lambe, President of the Arbor Day Foundation, recently notifi ed the Village of Glendale that it has once again been recognized as a Tree City USA for the 24th consecutive year and that we have additionally received our 9th Growth Award.

The four core standards to obtain Tree City USA status include maintaining an active Park Board, having a community tree ordinance, spending a minimum See COMMUNITY , Page 4B

Montana Klayman, Joe Weber and Rowan Tolbert were also Panther starters in their fi nal seasons.

“I told them all the great memories they’ve made in high school and the 10 to 12 years they’ve been competing in the sport outweigh this one negative experience,” Roush said.

Sophomores Drew Magness at 106 and Bartley Thomas at 152 also qualifi ed for state but will have to put their dreams on hold.

Nicholas Maff ey’s Mason Comets also expected the announcement but look forward to returning to the big stage.

“Everyone assumed it was going to happen, but we were still holding out hope and having workouts until the offi cial word,” Maff ey said.

Junior 120-pounder Dominic DiTullio had a nice draw and was optimistic of his state chances as was 195-pound junior Owen Amburgy.

“I only graduate two seniors, so we’re very lucky there,” Maff ey said. “But, it’s unfortunate for seniors. Dante Ditullio was a senior and 106-pounder Pacey Najdusak was unable to compete at districts and was actually ranked No. 1 in the state.”

Maff ey told his Comets this news should fuel them between now and their next opportunity to compete in 2020-21.

The OHSAA has not yet determined the fate of spring sports (baseball, softball, lacrosse, track and fi eld, boys tennis, boys volleyball) but their postponements remain as long as schools aren’t open.

In 2020 we are again working to achieve Tree City USA status and to obtain a 10th year Growth Award.

Those few municipalities that achieve 10 years of Growth Awards are awarded Sterling status. A community recognized as a Sterling Tree City USA exceeds the prior year work, including tree plantings.

Hamilton County JFS suspends work requirements for public assistance recipients; institutes other operational changes Hamilton County Job and Family Services is suspending in-person interviews and work requirements to ensure those receiving food and cash assistance are not threatened with benefi t loss during the COVID-19 crisis.

“This is a time to ensure people immediately have help,” JFS Interim Director Tim McCartney said. “We will not burden people. We have a nearly 75-year history of supporting families and changing lives in this community and our commitment is as important now as ever.”

The agency is conducting initial qualifying interviews, as well as re-certifi cation interviews, over the phone, instead of in person. Other requirements, such as assessment paperwork and tests, can be done at home or online.

JFS is also granting “good cause” exemptions for those who would normally be required to participate in a work activity or attend school.

“If you have a job, you can continue working,” McCartney said. “If you can take classes online, you should. But if it is impossible, we will grant an exemption. Your assistance will not be threatened.”

McCartney said the agency enacted several other operational changes during the crisis. The latest is the suspension of center-based family visits for at least the next two weeks, beginning March 23. Visits between biological families and children in the agency’s custody will now take place at JFS, which has more space, in the community or via phone or video.

“With the public health recommendations on social distancing and restrictions on the gathering of people, many are concerned center-based visits are a threat to their health,” he said. “We are not stopping visits. We are mandated by law to carry out family visits and that requirement remains. We are working on alternatives wherever possible. We know how important these are to families.”

Another change is agency employees meeting clients at the front door to answer questions and collect documents.

Rotary Club of Cincinnati gives $50,000 to help stressed families in crisis As businesses, restaurants and organizations close their doors in response to the COVID-19 virus, the Rotary Club of Cincinnati has opened its wallet - announcing the club is donating $50,000 to help provide rent and utility assistance for families in need.

The donation to the St. Vincent de Paul Homelessness Prevention Program comes at a particularly critical time, said Mike Dunn, executive director of the Society of St. Vincent DePaul in Greater Cincinnati.

“St Vincent de Paul is the leading provider of what we call homelessness prevention services, which is largely rent and utility support,” said Dunn.

“In the past calendar year we provided $1.6 million in assistance. That ongoing need is exacerbated by this current crisis.”

In response to the health crisis, St. Vincent de Paul closed all of its Thrift Stores, which were a major economic engine that helped fund the rent and utility assistance.

“The timing of this donation could not have been better,” said Dunn.

“These dollars from the Rotary will, literally, keep people in their homes.”

Rotary Club of Cincinnati President Dave Carlin said he called an on-line meeting of the Rotary Club’s Board on March 18 to fi nd a way to help in this community crisis.

“We know there are people in the restaurant and service industries, people in hourly jobs, who are hurting and need help now. We wanted to make a swift, targeted impact to help those in need, particularly in the inner-city,” said Carlin.

“We don’t have the infrastructure to directly help. If we had to do it ourselves, it would take weeks or months to perfect it. We wanted to partner with someone who was already out there meeting the needs.”

The St. Vincent de Paul Homelessness Prevention Program works with individuals to assess needs. The program provides funds directly to landlords or utility companies.

“Our average rent assistance for a neighbor is about $350,” said Dunn. “In an eviction situation, where a notice has been served, is it over $600.”

Besides providing immediate fi nancial assistance, the program helps individuals work toward long-term solutions with fi nancial literacy, budget counseling, job readiness and other resources.

“Once someone loses their home, the cost to the system in community services and resources is $4,000,” said Dunn. “The economics of prevention make sense. But more importantly is the trauma to the family and the kids involved that homelessness can cause.”

One of the Rotary’s missions is to serve children in need. “This donation will keep children in their homes,” said Carlin.
