Ex-bishop who failed to report misconduct will lead parishes Dan Horn Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Rev. Joseph R. Binzer resigned in 2020 from his office as auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. He was previously removed as the director of priests’ personnel after he failed to bring attention to concerns about the Rev. Geoff Drew’s conduct. ARCHDIOCESE OF CINCINNATI

A Cincinnati bishop who resigned after failing to report misconduct accusations involving a priest he supervised will soon get a new job as pastor of two parishes. The Rev. Joseph Binzer, who resigned as the Archdiocese of Cincinnati’s auxiliary bishop more than a year ago, is set to take over as pastor on July 1 at Corpus Christi and St. John Neumann parishes in Springﬁ eld Township north of Cincinnati. Some parishioners and lay Catholic groups are outraged by the move, saying

Binzer can’t be trusted to lead families or to protect children at the two parishes. “It feels like the archdiocese is slapping us in the face,” said Teresa Dinwiddie-Herrmann, a leader of Concerned Catholics Cincinnati. “It just doesn’t make sense.” Binzer resigned his post as auxiliary bishop in 2019 after acknowledging he failed to report accusations of inappropriate behavior with children involving the Rev. Geoﬀ Drew, who had been the subject of multiple complaints related to text messages and other interactions with kids while serving as pastor at two West Side parishes from 2013 to 2019.

Drew, who was put on administrative leave after those allegations became public, was later arrested after a former altar boy accused the priest of raping him 30 years ago at St. Jude’s parish in Bridgetown. He is scheduled for trial in Cincinnati later this year. Binzer is not accused of misconduct with children, but his role as auxiliary bishop put him in charge of priest personnel decisions, including handling allegations of misconduct and enforcement of the archdiocese’s Decree on Child Protection.

Cincinnati promises $35.5M for aﬀ ordable housing Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Two weeks before Cincinnati voters say yea or nay to Issue 3, offi cials at city hall are rolling out their own plan for affordable housing. Issue 3 is the highly controversial charter amendment that would require the city to devote at least $50 million a year to aff ordable housing. But on the afternoon of April 20, the city issued a news release promising to devote $35.5 million in public funding to support the development of aff ordable housing. The release says there will be a corresponding fundraising campaign to attract an additional $30 million in donations from private sources, for a total goal of $65.5 million. The bulk of the city’s portion of the money will come from a loan of up to $34 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The rest of the city’s commitment will come from the existing aff ordable housing trust fund and potentially money from the recent federal stimulus bill. This is completely separate from Issue 3, so voters could still approve that charter amendment on May 4, and one plan would not aff ect the other.

It’s also important to note that Issue 3 is ongoing – at least $50 million a year, every year, with no end date. The city’s announcement is a onetime investment. Cincinnati City Manager Paula Boggs Muething could not be reached for com-

Josh Spring, with the Issue 3 campaign, called the announcement a distraction and an attempt to get people to vote against the charter amendment. City hall is only putting it forward now because they’re “under the gun” with Issue 3, he said.

now because they’re “under the gun” with Issue 3, Spring said. “It certainly doesn’t mean that this loan isn’t a part of the solution, it doesn’t mean that seeking the loan is a bad thing,” Spring said. “It just means that a loan with interest that we may or may not be approved for – and just one time – is not going to make a big dent in the problem. “They’re attempting to distract people by saying, ‘Oh, we’re going to put some money into it.’ ” The money in the fund the city announced on April 20 will be used through a partnership with Cincinnati Development Fund, a nonprofi t lending institution. The money will create a loan fund to provide low-interest fi nancing for aff ordable housing development or rehabilitation. The city will also create a public board to establish priorities for the money. “This establishes a responsible funding policy; it does not sacrifi ce public safety or basic services,” the news release states. “The funding policy demonstrates the City’s commitment to addressing the decades-old issue of housing aff ordability by marshaling the resources of the entire city and region toward a solution.”

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, the region’s world-renowned pediatric care facility, now is looking for a new president on word on April 20 that Michael Fisher will step down from the job by the end of the year. Fisher, 61, is the longest-serving hospital leader in the Cincinnati area. His decision to leave was closely guarded until he told the Cincinnati Children’s board of trustees and its 16,500 workers in a video released in the afternoon. “I love Cincinnati Children’s and all that we do for kids and their families, our community and our employees,” he said in a statement. “While our work is never done, we are stronger than ever.” Mark Jahnke, chairman of the Cincinnati Children’s board of trustees, will open a national search to fi nd a successor with the fi rm Heidrick & Struggles assisting, a hospital statement said. “Michael’s commitment to the health, safety and well-being of kids in Cincinnati and beyond will continue to have a profound infl uence,” Jahnke said. “While navigating the changing and challenging medical and research landscape for over a decade, Michael has championed a vibrant and inclusive culture and built an extraordinary team of doctors, nurses, scientists, and other valued employees.” See FISHER, Page 2A

Farmers’ Almanac is calling for a ‘thundery,’ ‘muggy,’ ‘sweltering’ summer Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Temperatures are on the rise in Greater Cincinnati, which begs the question: What kind of summer are we in store for? The 2021 Farmers’ Almanac’s extended forecast found that summer could have a greater-than-average frequency of thunderstorms for a large portion of the country. “These summer rainstorms may be severe and spawn widespread tornadoes over the middle part of the country during June and July,” the Almanac states. The Almanac’s forecast also calls for above-normal for about two-thirds of the country, especially in the South

and East. Greater Cincinnati is on the overlap of the “sweltering, thundery” and “muggy, thundery” zones for the summer. “While typically the hottest weather can be expected in late July or early August, this year’s summer heat could peak in late August, into early September,” the Almanac says. While summer thunderstorms are quite common, the number of storms predicted is a bit unusual. “There will be a greater-than-average frequency of thunderstorms for a large portion of the country,” states Almanac editor Peter Geiger. “Many of these storms could prove to be quite strong, particularly over the eastern third of the nation.”

NWS predictions for this summer are similar The National Weather Service AprilMay-June 2021 temperature outlook favors above-normal seasonal temperatures for nearly all the contiguous U.S.

and above-normal seasonal total precipitation amounts for the Ohio Valley. “Moreover, above-normal temperatures are most likely for the entire forecast domain as we move into and through the summer months,” the National Weather Service said.

How rude are Ohio, Kentucky drivers? Ranking the states Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Ohio is home to some of the rudest drivers, according to a new ranking from Insurify. Insurify, a platform to compare auto insurance quotes, looked at their database of car insurance applications to identify the states with the rudest drivers. The analysis also found that Kentucky has some of the nicest drivers in the country. Insurify said it ranked states based

on the number of drivers in each state with one or more rude driving violations on their record. Ohio ranked No. 6. for rude drivers. “In Ohio, wanton disregard for the rules of the road, demonstrated by rude driving behavior, is 32 percent higher than the national average,” Insurify said. What qualiﬁ es as rude behavior? Insurify said these violations are indicative of rude driving: failure-to-yield violations, failure-to-stop violations, improper backing, passing where prohibited, tailgating, street racing, and

hit-and-runs. “Failing to stop at a stop sign is the most common rude driving violation in Ohio, for which drivers are caught 34 percent more often than the average American driver,” Insurify said. The states who came in last place are known as the nicest driving states. Those states are Kentucky, Mississippi, and Maine. Kentucky has the nicest drivers out there, coming in at No. 50 for rude drivers. Insurify said the rate of rude drivers in the Bluegrass State is 10.01 per 1,000. In Ohio, it is 37.67 out of 1,000.

Fisher shepherded what will be the medical center’s largest expansion, a $550 million tower to serve patients with cancer, heart ailments and other complex conditions. Set to open in November, the Avondale facility will feature a state-of-the-art emergency department. In addition, construction is to begin this year on a new inpatient mental health facility at the hospital’s College Hill campus. Through his tenure, Cincinnati Children’s was regularly ranked among the top three pediatric facilities in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. Just last month in interviews with The Enquirer, other local hospital leaders credited Fisher for bringing them together in an unprecedented eﬀ ort to get the community through the coronavirus pandemic. In 2018, Fisher was treated for cancer. He told The Enquirer last month he is in good health now. Hospital spokesman Barrett J. Brunsman said Fisher would have no further comment on his decision to leave after 11 years. He took the job in January 2010. In his statement, Fisher said he is looking forward to more life ﬂ exibility, including helping his family in entrepreneurial and investment endeavors. Fisher is a former president of the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber, leading it from 2001 to 2006. Cincinnati Children’s is the region’s largest hospital and second-largest em-

The decree requires church oﬃ cials to report all complaints of misconduct involving children to local authorities. Archbishop Dennis Schnurr has said he did not know about the allegations against Drew because Binzer did not share them with him.

and parishioners. During meetings with parishioners, Schack said, some expressed concern and others support for Binzer’s appointment. “Concerns of the faithful were listened to and shared with the archbishop,” she said. “A lot of voices were listened to.” The current pastor at Corpus Christi and St. John Neumann told parishioners about Binzer’s appointment in an April 9 letter. The letter from the Rev. Kyle Schnippel indicated the pastor’s job at one point was going to be posted so other priests might seek the appointment, but church oﬃ cials opted instead for Binzer, who still is considered a “bishop emer-

itus.” “Upon further consideration and input, including from our parish’s Pastoral Councils, the original assignment of Bishop Binzer as Pastor has been conﬁ rmed,” Schnippel wrote in the letter. Schnippel is leaving to replace a priest who stepped down in February from his post as pastor at St. Peter’s Church in Huber Heights, north of Dayton. Archdiocese oﬃ cials said the Rev. Anthony Cutcher resigned from St. Peter’s after he was accused of sending inappropriate texts to a minor. They said local authorities investigated the allegations and “found no evidence of illegal activity on the part of Fr. Cutcher.”

Dan Frondorf, spokesman for the Cincinnati chapter of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, said he’s been contacted by parishioners at Corpus Christi, St. John Neumann and St. Peter about the recent shuﬄ ing of priests, including Binzer’s appointment. He said most are upset about the moves. “It’s tone deaf. It just ignores everything that happened with the Drew incident,” Frondorf said. “I kind of feel Schnurr has been thumbing his nose at the people in the pew. “You think you’re making progress, and then they turn around and do something that makes you think maybe they haven’t been listening after all.”

Recalled O Pie O pies sold between 2019 and this year Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

O Pie O is voluntarily recalling some pies sold in Kroger stores because their labels do not list an egg ingredient that can cause allergic reactions in some people. The recall by the East Walnut Hills company includes single servings of Chicken Pot Hand Pies and Saag Paneer Hand Pies weighing 7.1 ounces and packaged in a box. That’s according to a news release issued by the Ohio Department of Agriculture on behalf of O Pie O. The pies being recalled were available for sale from March 10, 2019, to April 7, 2021, or on the last day oﬀ ered for sale in Kroger stores in Downton Cincinnati, Amelia, Anderson Township, Colerain Township, Corryville, Dent, Harrison, Hyde Park, Lebanon, Liberty

Township, Mariemont, Oakley and Western Hills. The news release said the problem was discovered during an inspection conducted by the state agriculture department. “There have been no reports of illness involving products addressed in this recall, however, people who have an egg allergy or severe sensitivity to egg run the risk of a serious or lifethreatening allergic reaction if they consume this product,” the release said. “Individuals exhibiting signs or symptoms of food borne illness or allergies should contact a physician immediately.” People with an egg allergy who bought the pies should dispose of them or return them to O Pie O at 1527 Madison Road for a refund. Consumers with questions can call Lou Ginocchio at 513-659-5306.

Ohio plans to double number of medical marijuana dispensaries Jackie Borchardt Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Ohio plans to grow the number of medical marijuana dispensaries in the state by more than twofold in the next year. Businesses can apply for 73 new dispensary licenses this summer, bringing the total allowed to 130 statewide. The Ohio Board of Pharmacy approved the expansion on April 19. Under the plan, applicants would have to apply by the same rules as the initial 2017 application process, including security and business plan requirements. Applicants that meet the qualifi cations would be entered into a lottery to allocate licenses by dispensary district, which is typically one county or a group of two or three smaller counties. Licensees would be limited to fi ve dispensary licenses total statewide, including licenses they have now. The pharmacy board in 2017 set an initial limit of 60 dispensaries, spread amongst the state by single or multicounty districts. That number was based on an estimated patient count of between 12,000 and 24,000 over two years, said Sharon Maerten-Moore, the board’s director of medical marijuana operations. There are now at least 92,772 patients with active registrations. The board awarded 57 licenses in 2018 – three districts lacked enough qualifi ed applicants to award the maximum number of licenses. Sales began at four dispensaries in January 2019, and most of the rest were operational by the end of the summer. Five are still haven't opened. Patients have complained about high prices and having to drive long distances to fi nd deals or certain products. Maerten-Moore said those two factors are driving patients to not renew their cards. “We feel that if additional dispensaries are added and patient travel decreases and due to more competition in the market, prices will decrease over time,” Maerten-Moore said on April 19.

Medical marijuana has generated millions of dollars in sales in Ohio, as patients have flocked to the state's more than 50 dispensaries. DANIEL CARSON/THE NEWS-MESSENGER

The board is required to consider expansion once every two years, based on the state population, patient population and geographic distribution of patients. Ohio has fewer dispensaries per capita than neighboring Pennsylvania, which has 109 dispensaries and Michigan, with 364. The expansion will be applied proportionate to the number of registered patients in each district: h Franklin County: six to 15. h Hamilton County: three to 11. h Summit County: three to 5. The board is required to consider expansion once every two years, based on the state population, patient population and geographic distribution of patients.

In determining the number, the board reviewed the number of patients who have registered at one point since December 2018, more than 168,000 as of January 2021, to anticipate growth in the program. The expansion aimed to average 1,200 patients per dispensary per district and 300 to 600 per dispensary, a number considered to be viable revenuewise for dispensaries. “It seems like a fair number for both the industry and the patients alike,” said Matt Close, executive director of the Ohio Medical Cannabis Industry Association. The association, which represents cultivators, product manufacturers and dispensaries, had lobbied the pharmacy

board for 150 licenses. The board hopes to avoid lawsuits and appeals from unsuccessful applicants and speed up the award process by incorporating a lottery. Applications would be judged on whether they meet several requirements or not and winners would be selected from that pool. “We’ve learned it’s a very litigious process that scoring and someone’s opinion of someone’s security plan might be diﬀ erent depending on the scorers,” pharmacy board spokesman Cameron McNamee said. An exact timeline for accepting applications is not yet known, but it won't likely begin before June.

Ohio will allow liquor delivery, drinking at airport terminals Jessie Balmert Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS – A new law allows Ohioans to have liquor delivered to their homes, but it could be a while before that option is available. House Bill 674, which took eﬀ ect April 12, allows Ohio Division of Liquor Control vendors to deliver liquor in the original container. But the Liquor Control superintendent must create rules on how that will work, then vendors need to accept those new rules. That process could take several months. Ohioans won't need to wait as long on other changes. The new law also allows travelers to consume alcohol in more areas of Ohio's airports – if the airports' governing bodies approve the change. Under the change, travelers can drink in terminals while awaiting a ﬂ ight instead of being restricted to restaurants only. John Glenn Columbus International Airport began allowing it on April 12. Another change allows charities, unions and employers to sell beer or wine at a special event if they get a per-

mit from the Division of Liquor Control. The new law also allows for the sale of mixed beverage "pods," a combination of liquor and mixers used to create cocktails. These options will be regulated like other mixed drinks. More hotly debated proposals – allowing alcohol sales until 4 a.m. on weekends or 24-hour sales if approved by voters – were stripped from the bill and never became law. Many of the changes in the law, sponsored by Rep. Brett Hillyer, R-Uhrichsville, and Rep. John Becker, R-Union Township in Clermont County, were intended to help restaurants and bars hurt by the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions instituted to reduce novel coronavirus spread. "This legislation is intended to create opportunities for establishments across the state of Ohio and to help keep their doors open in the wake of the impacts of COVID-19," said Sen. Frank Hoagland, R-Mingo Junction. The pandemic has eased other liquor laws, allowing Ohioans to order to-go cocktails permanently and allowing bars to expand outdoor spaces through 2022.

Container kitchen herb garden is a thoughtful, practical gift Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

When Mother Nature oﬀ ers her wild bounty, she doesn’t take into account we may be busy with other things, like harvesting spring produce or working to patch leaky gutters. That’s why I’m a bit late in getting this column to my editors. For the past week, along with regular chores, we’ve been outdoors, sometimes over hill and dale, foraging for wild edibles. Morels are in season but oh so elusive. Violets and red buds for jellies there for the taking. So it wasn’t until today that I got to sit down and read my mail. In it was a timely query. “What are some good cooking herbs to grow in containers? I don’t have much space, but buying fresh herbs puts a dent in my budget and I waste more than I use.” Now most herbs are happy either in the ground or in a container. The bonus of container gardening? More control. With Mother’s Day approaching, a container kitchen herb garden is a thoughtful, practical gift. Container herbs are good outdoor accents, as well. Tips to get you started: h Good drainage, proper container size and good potting soil are essential. h Plant herbs singly or in groups. h Planting several herbs in a container is ﬁ ne as long as they have the same soil, water, etc. requirements. h Herbs planted in containers will be smaller than in-ground herbs, which is good for those aggressive spreading herbs, like mints, chives, oregano and thyme. h You’ll harvest more often, too. That keeps herbs smaller. h The herbs below are super versatile. Good choices for an essential and basic herb garden. h They like sun but will tolerate a little shade. Basil

Rita Heikenfeld’s teaching herb garden contains some potted herbs. Basils are pictured in a black kettle. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

This annual herb comes in many varieties, from standards like Genovese to petite, dwarf varieties like Bouquet. Pinch fl owers off (fl owers of culinary herbs are edible) for a longer harvest. Basil lends a sweet/spicy note to foods. Add during the last fi ve minutes of cooking time for an explosion of fl avor. Rosemary Rosemary, that piney-tasting, tender perennial, usually gets as big as the pot it’s in. Once it reaches the same height as the pot, either root prune it or move to a larger pot. It’s a strong-tasting herb, particular-

ly when fresh. Rosemary needles are called that for a reason – they can get stuck in the throat, so if you’re not using the whole sprig, mince leaves. Thyme This perennial tends to look weedy after a couple of years in the ground, yet it is easily controlled in a pot. Thyme comes in bush or trailing varieties. Lemon thyme is a much-loved container herb. Oregano A must for a culinary garden. Think pizza! An easy perennial to grow, it, too, takes to good, regular pruning to control growth. Greek oregano is the gold stan-

dard. Chives Both garlic and onion chives are fastgrowing perennials. Harvest by cutting down to soil level. Another cut and come again herb, chives lend a mild yet distinct ﬂ avor. Sage Having fresh or home-dried sage brings your holiday cooking to a new level. You’ll have fresh sage until a hard frost occurs. Variegated varieties are smaller than regular sage.

exceptional performance and leadership on the streets and behind the scenes. The awards were presented by the Rotary Club of Cincinnati, which annually recognizes offi cers for valor, achievement, innovation and career and department excellence. Police Chief Eliot Isaac introduced the honorees. Superior Achievement: Detective Joseph Coombs and Detective Bryan Delk were recognized for their investigation into a shooting in Price Hill that left a 12year-old girl critically injured when 46 rounds were fi red into a home. Coombs and Delk used private and police videos to identify the make of the suspect vehicle. They worked with the Ohio Department of Motor Vehicles to identify more than 100 matching vehicles, eventually identifying three suspects who were prosecuted for the shooting. Hero/Valor Award: Offi cer Christopher Wermuth was helping to disperse a crowd of protestors in Clifton Heights on May 30, 2020, when a bullet pierced his shield and hit his helmet. He refused to leave his post and continued working with the Civil Disturbance Response Squad to calm the situation. Administrative Excellence: Sergeant Timothy Fritz was honored for his critical work on implementing the Kronos time keeping system, the District 5 relocation project, the Crime Gun Intelligence Center project, the 2020 civil un-

shutters, shades & blinds

rest planning, the COVID-19 planning and implementation and the response to major ﬂ ooding in 2018 and 2020. Career Enhancement Award: Captain Matthew Hammer and Sgt. Jennifer Mitsch, both in the Police Department’s Planning Section, were honored for professional and personal achievement, including both attaining their doctorate degrees in the past year. Hammer completed his Doctor of Philosophy in Criminal Justice Studies from the University of Cincinnati. During his 21 years with the Cincinnati Police Department, he served in Patrol, Violent Crimes Squads, District Investigations, Crime Analysis and Problem Solving, and as Night Inspector. Prior to his promotion to the Planning Section, Hammer led the activation of the Place-Based Investigations of Violent Oﬀ ender Territories (PIVOT) unit. Cincinnati’s PIVOT project won the 2017 international Herman Goldstein Award for Excellence in Problem-Oriented Policing. Hammer also coordinated a successful 2018 grant application for Community-Based Crime Reduction, winning nearly $1 million to apply the PIVOT strategy in East Price Hill. Sgt. Mitsch recently completed her Doctor of Education in Leadership Studies from Xavier University. She holds a Bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in Human Resource Development, also from Xavier University. In her 22 years with the Cincinnati Police Department, she served in Patrol, the Vio-

lent Crimes Squad, Personal Crimes, and Homicide.

Mitsch was instrumental in developing the Cincinnati Citizens Respect Our Witnesses (CCROW) program. The Rotary Club of Cincinnati initiated the Rotary awards more than a decade ago to honor excellence in key public service professions. Rotary President Brett Lebhar of Anderson Township presented $1,000 to the police department for training support. The Rotary Club of Cincinnati was founded in 1910 as a service and networking organization with a mission to provide selﬂ ess service in the community and the world and to meet needs of children with disabilities. With close to 300 members, it is the largest Rotary Club in Greater Cincinnati. The Rotary Foundation is its philanthropic arm.

Volunteers collect litter at Winton Woods Volunteers collected hundreds of bags of litter in the annual Winton Woods Cleanup for Great Parks of Hamilton County in April. More than 160 volunteers came together in the largest day of volunteering at Great Parks since 2019, picking up 164 bags of trash and 73 bags of recyclables. Some items were too big for bagging, like a car tire, mufﬂ er, baseball bat, fence posts, lumber and even a giant rug. Volunteers followed physical distancing recommendations and fanned out to Winton Lake Harbor, shelters, picnic areas and the disc golf area at the park to beautify it for everyone.

Holiday Lights Recycling program breaks record in collection thanks to long-standing partnership The Holiday Lights Recycling program continued to have a big local sustainability impact in its seventh year at Great Parks. Thanks to a long-standing partnership with Cohen Recycling, the program has redirected thousands of pounds of lights from the landfi ll in order for the materials to be refi ned into new products. Drop off locations were available from Nov. 1, 2020, through Feb. 1, 2021, at six park visitor centers. This year, 15,700 pounds of lights were collected at Great Parks, surpassing last year’s total by 4,200 pounds! “People in our region anticipate this program returning every year. They are mindful about salvaging unwanted lights, knowing they can dispose of them sustainably through Great Parks,” said Great Parks CEO Todd Palmeter. “The continued expansion of this program along with the increased amount of lights recycled by residents reinforces the value of strong community partnerships achieving great results.” Cohen is donating $2,355 to Great Parks to support ongoing conservation eff orts. “Recycling and protecting the great outdoors go hand in hand,” said Cohen Director of Marketing, Marisa Head. “Recovering copper from recycled lights reduces the need for newly-mined copper and the environmental damage that results from it. We are grateful to our local partners like Great Parks for making recycling more accessible to the community and helping us educate.” To date, over 42,300 pounds of lights have been collected over the course of the partnership program. This year’s total comes close to surpassing all six previous years combined. For more information about Cohen, visit https://www.cohenusa.com/. Kimberly Whitton Great Parks of Hamilton County

Ohio Valley Goodwill again sponsors PigAbilities Ohio Valley Goodwill is pleased to announce that for the fi fth consecutive year, Ohio Valley Goodwill is the title sponsor for the PigAbilities event as part of the 2021 Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon. PigAbilities is an empowering option for athletes of all ages and abilities who want to commit to going the distance by making healthy choices in their lives. During a typical year (preCOVID-19), the PigAbilities event would take place when there are fewer crowds, increased accessibility and more parking. This year, like last year, Pig Works is off ering virtual options for the spring, with a hoped-for in-person event taking place the week of Oct. 29-31 in downtown Cincinnati. The virtual events are slated to begin May 1, but athletes can choose their own schedules to meet their needs. Ohio Valley Goodwill is working with its team of athletes served by the organization to begin training in the next few weeks in preparation for the May events. Just like 2020, a formal medal ceremony will take place at Ohio Valley Goodwill’s corporate headquarters following the fi nish of the 2021 PigAbilities 1-mile event. During the ceremony, each athlete will receive a PigAbilities medal to commemorate their achievement. Find out more about PigAbilities at www.fl yingpigmarathon.com/events/ pigabilities and please register today for this important inclusive event which is designed to off er athletes of all abilities

There is also a video on the PigAbilities page featuring Nicole White and her daughter talking about how important the PigAbilities event is to them. Plan to join Goodwill in planning virtual PigAbilities events this spring, kicking off the weekend of May 1. PigAbilities is an empowering option for athletes of all ages and abilities who want to commit to going the distance by making healthy choices in their lives. In 2019, the PigAbilities event broke all previous records for participation with more than 400 athletes choosing to fi nish the fi nal mile of the Flying Pig Marathon. That year, more than 50 athletes supported by Ohio Valley Goodwill participated in the Pigabilities event and the post-race celebration and loved it. While last year’s virtual event only welcomed six dedicated athletes directly affi liated with Goodwill, other athletes in the Greater Cincinnati community chose to create virtual PigAbilities events in their home communities as well. Ohio Valley Goodwill is grateful to Pig Works for their support of the 2020 virtual PigAbilities event and are very proud of the athletes who accomplished their personal goals.

Footlighters pays it forward with COVID-19 community cooperation

Kristine Agoston with Pig. PROVIDED

The Footlighters, Inc. is taking advantage of COVID-19-inspired extended intermission in the theater with a huge initiative to renovate the theater, upgrade the HVAC system and completely update the theater decor and experience for theater patrons. The Footlighters board approved the purchase of new seating and then was confronted with

the dilemma of what to do with the existing 100-plus seats in the theater. Enter COVID-19 community cooperation. The board decided to off er the existing seating to another theater or nonprofi t group with the only commitment being to pick up and transport the seating out of the Footlighters facility. After sharing the opportunity among other theater groups and non-profi ts, Revolution Dance Theater was selected as the lucky recipient of the free seating. Revolution Dance Theater (RDT) founding and producing Artistic Director David Choate was ecstatic to have the opportunity and shared, “It was just really monumental for them to make a donation of those theater seats to Revolution Dance Theater.” The donated seating will enable RDT to off er productions and seat live audiences in their new 9,000square-foot company space. Stay tuned for the new Footlighters fundraising initiative to support the renovation, and learn about ways to buy a slice of history with a few remaining CCM Corbett/Footlighter legacy seats and the opportunity to claim a slice of Footlighters’ future with the new seating sponsorship campaign.

Terratorium winery launches direct to consumers Terratorium, a Sonoma-based winery, founded by two friends who connected while working in the California wine industry, launched on April 2. Ben Matthews, based in Cincinnati, and Cameron Laurent, based in Sacramento, are the winery’s co-founders. Under the guidance of their Napa Valley-based consulting winemaker Jim Duane, the team is shipping its wines direct to consumers via its website. Combined, the team brings over 25 years of wine-making experience work-

ing in Napa Valley and Sonoma, California, to the new venture. Their fi rst wines will include a 2018 Alexander Valley Cabernet Franc and a 2019 Anderson Valley Chardonnay. Terratorium intends to be actively involved in the local food and beverage community of Cincinnati with Matthews being based full-time in the city. “We’d love to see our brand bring Cincinnatians together over a glass of wine, because Terratorium has its origins in this city. Early on, we worked with a local designer, Tommy Sheehan (Tommy INK), and close friends in the local CPG marketing industry to develop our brand and vision for the company,” said co-founder and president Matthews. Co-founder Laurent says their business model allows the winery to exercise fl exibility. “Since we work with a variety of grape-growers, we can explore new vineyard sites and varieties. If we fi nd a great fruit source, we are able to bring that into our portfolio easier than if we tied only to one vineyard property.” To purchase wine or learn more about Terratorium visit their website (www.terratoriumwines.com) or follow them on Instagram (@terratoriumwines).

606 children and adults receive free eye exams and glasses Preventative care visits have dropped signifi cantly over the course of the pandemic, and this is especially true in underserved communities. That’s why the Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation teamed up with OneSight, a leading global vision care nonprofi t, to provide free eye exams and glasses to children and adults throughout Cincinnati. Free vision care was provided to 606 children and adults in the area from March 8 through March 26 at fi ve locations across the greater Cincinnati area. “The ability to see clearly is essential and when students get the glasses they need it can help them learn up to twice as much. When not diagnosed and corrected with lenses, vision problems can lead to eye fatigue, discomfort and headaches and in children it can also lead to developmental delays, eye-hand coordination problems and their literacy skills may lag,” said Barry Malinowski, M.D., medical director for Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Ohio. “Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and the Foundation are committed to improving the health and wellness of communities across the country and that’s why this partnership with OneSight was so important to us because it allowed us to provide quality vision care and eyewear to those who need it most.” The free clinics included a mobile, state-of-the-art van equipped with a vision center and optical lab, and a stationary vision clinic. Leveraging OneSight’s proven clinic model and manufacturing capabilities, most participants in need of glasses received their newly prescribed eyewear on-site. Locally, OneSight partnered with UpSpring, Su Casa, The Care Center, Northstar Community, Urban League, City Gospel Mission, Cincinnati Union Bethel and Strategies to End Homelessness to serve Cincinnati children and adults in need of vision correction.

Beginning April 30, the Cincinnati Reds can have a larger crowd for their home games at Great American Ball Park. The Reds announced Wednesday that they will increase capacity from 30% to 40%, which follows new public health orders from Gov. Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Health regarding outdoor events. With a maximum capacity of 30% for the ﬁ rst month of the season, the Reds’ biggest crowd was 12,598 fans at last Saturday’s game against Cleveland. The increase to 40% gives them an estimated maximum attendance of about 16,900. Cleveland’s baseball team already announced it was increasing capacity to 40% for its home games at Progressive Field. “The Reds are encouraged by this news and will continue to follow the guidelines set by our state,” said Reds COO Phil Castellini. “We are going to be

choiceful as we add seats, keeping the safety of fans as our top priority. We believe this is the right approach as we mirror what is happening throughout the state.” In a press release, the Reds said that all fans holding tickets to games after April 30 will be contacted via email over

the next two weeks with more information. The new protocols allow for “mixed pods” of up to 10 people. Fans will continue to be required to wear a mask at all times in the ballpark unless they are actively eating or drinking in ticketed seats.

Gray Continued from Page 1B

At Winton Woods, athletic director David Lumpkin was extremely happy to have Carlton Gray back in his old stomping grounds. “We’ve been pretty fortunate in having graduates come back and do extremely well for us,” Lumpkin said. “He’s always been involved with the school, always given back to the school even when he was in the NFL. We’re really excited about this and the community is excited also.” Lumpkin is excited about the expertise Gray brings in terms of his knowledge with athletic scholarships given his past experience and those of his family. Older daughter Amber Gray, was a McDonald’s All-American, USA TODAY All-American and Parada Magazine AllAmerican who played at Tennessee, Xavier and professionally. Amber played at Lakota West and assisted Fishman and her father this past season. Current junior Chance Gray led the

GMC in scoring at 25 points per game and has been a fi xture for three seasons at Lakota West. So the obvious question is, how many Grays does Winton Woods get? The consensus is Amber Gray will assist her father. But, would Chance Gray play a senior season at a diff erent high school and would it meet OHSAA transfer exceptions? If not, she could feasibly be eligible for the opening half of the season but not the second half nor any postseason. Thus far Lakota West staff ers haven’t heard Chance Gray’s status one way or the other. Indication from both schools is it will be her decision. “He said he really wants her to be happy her senior year,” Lumpkin said. In terms of football, clearly, it’s a solid hire with Gray’s background in the game and considering Winton Woods just lost Andre Parker to Princeton as head coach. Chad Murphy is the new Winton Woods football coach and is thrilled to be adding Carlton Gray to the Warriors staff given his background and ties to the community.

“We are very pleased with our fans’ compliance to our safety protocols at the ballpark,” Tim O’Connell, the Reds’ VP of ballpark operations, said in a statement. “Operationally it is our preference to add capacity in smaller increments like this, as the state permits.”

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

ANSWERS ON PAGE 11B

No. 0425 A RARE FIND

BY JOHAN VASS / EDITED BY WILL SHORTZ Johan Vass is a restaurant worker in Stockholm, Sweden. Though he has never been to the United States, he has been solving American crosswords for many years. He says his personal best times for New York Times puzzles range from 3:21 on a Monday to 10:36 on a Sunday. Somewhere along the way he started constructing crosswords in English — which is quite a challenge for someone coming from another language and culture. Johan says this one took him two months to make. I’m honestly in awe. — W.S.

Vonn, Alex Smith join H.S. Sports Awards cast Staff Reports

Olympic gold medalist and four-time World Cup skiing champion Lindsey Vonn, 2020 NFL Comeback Player of the Year Alex Smith, and three-time volleyball Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings have joined the starstudded cast of presenters and guests for the Cincinnati High School Sports Awards, presented by Mercy Health. The show will also include a virtual red carpet with Matt James and Tyler Cameron of “The Bachelor.” Top professional athletes will help recognize Cincinnati area student-athletes by announcing player of the year award winners. The show includes honorees, ﬁ nalists and winners in more than 20 sports and will also recognize non-sporting excellence in a variety of categories. The awards program culminates with some of the biggest names in professional sports announcing the Coach of the Year, Team of the Year, and the student-athletes who will take the top honors of Male and Female Athlete of the Year. Smith will be announcing this year’s

recipient of the Courage Award, which honors student-athletes who have shown great courage and inspired those around them when faced with challenges and obstacles in their life, either on or off the fi eld. In his fi rst season as the starting quarterback for the Washington Football Team, Smith suff ered a severe injury that almost resulted in the amputation of his right leg. After numerous surgeries, months in the hospital and then two long stints of rehab, Smith returned to the fi eld. He didn’t miss a beat, reclaiming the role of starting quarterback and leading Washington to the NFC East championship. His resilience and determination made him the runaway favorite to win the NFL’s 2020 Comeback Player of the Year Award. Former World Cup alpine ski racer for the U.S. Ski Team, Vonn is one of only two female skiers to win four World Cup overall championships. She claims the second highest super ranking of all skiers — men or women —and earned a record eight World Cup season titles in the downhill discipline. Her long list of medals and championships

makes Vonn the most successful American ski racer, and she is considered one of the greatest skiers in the world. Also known as “Six Feet of Sunshine,” Walsh Jennings, 42, will announce the winners for volleyball. She’s looking to compete alongside partner Brooke Sweat in the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games. She became the most decorated beach volleyball Olympian of all time after winning bronze in 2016. This fi ve-time Olympian has three gold and one bronze medal in beach volleyball and holds the record for tournament victories with 135 for her career. James and Cameron both attended Wake Forest University and played football for the Atlantic Coast Conference Division 1 team. They are American television personalities, entrepreneurs and activists. In 2019, Cameron was cast in Season 15 of “The Bachelorette.” Soon after, James was cast in his historical role as the fi rst Black male lead on ABC’s hit show, “The Bachelor.” They are also cofounders of ABC Food Tours, a nonprofi t organization whose mission is to empower students by providing experi-

ences across diverse cultures and career opportunities. The Cincinnati High School Sports Awards is a multi-month student-athlete recognition program that culminates in a year-end awards show June 28. Due to COVID-19 safety precautions for students and guest speakers, the event was converted to an on-demand broadcast show for 2021. Honoree selections for state sanctioned sports, who are all featured in the show, are announced throughout the year on the event website. The show will be free to watch on any smartphone or computer thanks to local business sponsors. Honorees should register on the show website to reserve their complimentary athlete gift box. Registrations are also used to send out awards for winners following the show. The most elite high school athletes, coaches and teams from state-sanctioned sports across the U.S. will be featured in the inaugural USA TODAY High School Sports Awards. Statewide athlete of the year winners will be among the national honorees.

SCHOOL NEWS DePaul Cristo Rey High School names two valedictorians For the ﬁ rst time, DePaul Cristo Rey High School has two valedictorians. Two seniors have identical grade-point averages and have been named co-valedictorians of the Class of 2021. Their awards recognize them as the graduating students with the highest weighted grade-point average in the senior class. Both will address their classmates and guests during DPCR’s commencement exercises. They are: h Charissa Monday, a Northbrook resident who plans to attend the University of Cincinnati and major in human development and community engagement. She is a graduate of Beautiful Savior Lutheran School. h Nick Voner of Westwood, who plans to attend the University of Notre Dame and major in mechanical engineering. He is a graduate of Annunciation Catholic School. h Jada Wallace of Westwood has been named the Class of 2021 salutatorian as the senior with the second-highest weighted grade-point average. She has earned the Darwin T. Turner full tuition scholarship to the University of Cincinnati, where she plans to study nursing. She is a graduate of Annunciation Catholic School. DePaul Cristo Rey’s commencement exercises will be held on May 25 at Mount St. Joseph University. DePaul Cristo Rey is a Catholic, college-preparatory high school with a mission to educate young people who have the potential but limited ﬁ nancial means to go to college. This is accomplished through a dynamic academic program partnered with an innovative

In addition to Black books, teachers of English Language Learners requested books that had both Spanish and English included to better help students learn the English language. To date, the district purchased over 2,800 books through Smith & Hannon through the CLSD grant for classrooms. The second through sixth grade gained two diﬀ erent class sets of novels for classroom reading. Additionally, kindergarten through second grade ordered books for readalouds. In fact, a number of elementary classes will begin reading the books following spring break. The CLSD grant provided the district the opportunity to purchase books for classrooms that reﬂ ect the cultures of all students. As stated in Ohio’s Plan to Raise Reading Achievement, “Research shows that students are more likely to master literacy skills if the instructional materials and approaches have relevance to their own cultures. This allows learners to connect with the content in more meaningful, engaging ways.”

Only Black-owned bookstore supplies Mt. Healthy City School District with culturally applicable books for students Mt. Healthy City School District Teaching and Learning Department staff members uncovered a little gem in the heart of Over-the-Rhine. They learned of the store, when Top Ladies of Distinction donated new books to each district third grader. So, when seeking diverse books for the district’s students, they contacted Smith & Hannon Bookstore, the only Blackowned bookstore in the city. As one of the district’s key points for the Comprehensive Literacy State Development (CLSD) grant, staff members were tasked with fi nding books that feature Black characters and are written by Black authors. With this in mind, they reached out to Joyce Smith, owner of Smith & Han-

Skylar Groenemann to take part in Envision’s Junior National Young Leaders Conference This summer, Skylar Groenemann from West Chester will join outstanding

middle school students from across the nation to take part in a unique academic and career oriented development experience, the Junior National Young Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C. The Junior National Young Leaders Conference is one of the Envision by WorldStrides family of programs (www.envisionexperience.com) that enable students to explore their interests and experience learning beyond the classroom. Skylar Groenemann is an eighthgrade student at Bethany School in Glendale and will attend Roger Bacon High School in the fall. He was nominat-

ed by Sarah Dorger to represent the school based on his outstanding academic success, service work and character. “As an alumna of Envision myself, I am excited for Skylar Groenemann to meet, work, and collaborate with other high-aspiring students from across the country,” said Amanda Freitag Thomas, SVP for Envision. “Hands down, my favorite part of attending an Envision program was being with motivated students in an environment designed to help us challenge our assumptions, meet new people, and grow. Creating that same learning environment is a central focus for all of our programs. At the Junior National Young Leaders Conference, students build the conﬁ dence and skills needed to excel in high school, college, and the workplace. They learn how to adapt to and communicate in new situations, to new challenges, and with new people, which, given how rapidly the world is changing due to technology and innovation, are essential skills for success.” For over 35 years, Envision by WorldStrides has empowered extraordinary

students to become their best selves through programs that enable them to discover their passion, explore a career, and positively impact their world. In 2018, Envision became part of the WorldStrides family. The largest provider of educational travel and experiences in the United States, WorldStrides works with over 50,000 educators each year to help more than 550,000 students see the world – and themselves – in new ways.
