Century-old Tradition Coming To An End Junior newspaper carriers, having served the Tristate for decades, are being retired

Major Cincinnati employer GE Aviation announced May 4 that it is cutting a total of 25% of its global workforce, according to a statement from the company. GE Aviation, based in Evendale, gave no details on local cuts, although it has more than 7,500 workers in the Cincinnati region. Add employees around Dayton, Ohio and the total reaches 10,000. GE Aviation CEO David Joyce sent a companywide letter explaining the decision. “The deep contraction of commercial aviation is unprecedented, aﬀ ecting every customer worldwide,” Joyce wrote. “Global traﬃ c is expected to be down approximately 80% in the secSee GE JOBS, Page 3A

Bill proposal: Portion of I-275 could be renamed in honor of fallen Springdale Oﬃ cer Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer

A new bill proposal would rename part of Interstate 275 after Kaia Grant, the Springdale Oﬃ cer whose death resulted from a police chase down that very road. Grant, a graduate of Wyoming High School, was hired by Springdale in August 2012 and graduated from the Ohio State Highway Patrol Academy in 2013, according to a a City of Springdale newsletter. In late March, Grant was transported to University of Cincinnati Medical Center by air care following a vehicle pursuit and crash on I-275. She later died due to her injuries. Now, a bill proposed to the Ohio General Assembly would designate a portion of Interstate 275 in Hamilton County as the “Oﬃ cer Kaia L. Grant Memorial Highway.” According to the bill, the renamed portion of the road would include eastbound and westbound lanes of the interstate between the interchange at Winton Road and the interchange at Interstate 75. “The director of transportation may erect suitable markers along the highway indicating its name,” the bill reads. Ohio State representatives Jessica Miranda of Forest Park and Sedrick Denson of Bond Hill sponsored and introduced the bill to the 133rd Ohio General Assembly.

We’re losing another piece of “the good old days,” as junior carriers stop delivering weekly newspapers in the suburbs. This newspaper has been using junior carriers since at least the 1870s, but more likely since its launch in 1841. During that time, young people delivering newspapers has become a touchstone of the American experience. May will be the last month The Enquirer and its network of Community Press and Recorder newspapers will use junior carriers, also known as paper boys and paper girls in Ohio. The Kentucky carriers will deliver their last papers in June. Some East Side carriers have already made their last rounds.

Ben Bergan is 10. He just lost his ﬁ rst job. Ben said. “I did not like having to ask my mom or dad for anything any time we went anywhere and I wanted something.” To say the elementary school student is entrepreneurial is an understatement. He started with one route, about 12 houses, but then picked up an extra route. “I’m really sad about losing my customers, all the people,” he said. He recalled an older couple would wave at him through the window every time he dropped oﬀ a paper. His father, Dave Bergan, said it has

been an emotional experience for his son. “He wanted a job. For an eight-yearold to say they wanted a job, this is all we could ﬁ nd,” Bergan said. “This was just his ﬁ rst regular job and responsibility where he was serving his customers. That’s just a hard skill to replicate in other ways at young ages.”

Former newspaper carrier

The Price Hill Press will be one of the last Ohio publications to make the switch. Junior carriers for that paper will make their last delivery on May 27. Griffi n Kelley, 18, will be throwing papers on that last day on a route that has been passed down to him from his four older brothers. “I was tagging along walking the route with them when I was 6 years old. I was just having fun, along for the ride. I’ve had multiple customers tell us how amazing it’s been to watch all of us boys grow up,” Griffi n said. “We were able to build these relationships with people in our neighborhood that we wouldn’t have really got to know without this paper route.” Griffi n is set to graduate from Elder this year and will then head to Ohio State University, just like his older brothers. They have all caddied at Western Hill Country Club and been lifeguards at the Gamble-Nippert YMCA. Duncan Kelley is a senior at OSU graduating with a degree in sports industry. He said: “It’s just never really been an option about whether we would work or not, it’s about where we would work and pretty often how many jobs we would work.” The teens’ father, Deron Kelley, called throwing papers a rite of passage and credits it with helping build his sons’ work ethic. He too was a paper carrier when he was in high school in the early 1980s, though he delivered a much bigger, daily route from a van. Now Griffi n delivers weekly to about 65 houses. Half of what he collects goes to the newspaper, he keeps the other half plus any tips he receives. He said he makes about $120 a month and the job

takes one to two hours a week. The papers are dropped off to his home on Tuesday nights. He folds them individually that night, then delivers them after school on Wednesdays. “We still had plenty of time to have a good high school social life, have other jobs, get our homework done,” Griffi n said. “It didn’t take too much time and it was still a great job to have.” The Kelley family is extremely disappointed that the program is coming to an end. Paxton Kelley is a junior at Ohio State. He started helping his brother’s deliver the papers when he was about 9. “In my head, tossing papers is a very traditional kids fi rst job. I think the safety concern, I guess it’s valid, but I never felt unsafe on my route,” he said. “It’s just disappointing that the opportunity for kids to come is just not going to be there anymore.” Paxton said the job was a unique preparation for the working world. “A 9- or 10-year-old getting $80 a month, I didn’t know what to do with it. You just start to learn how to save money and you start to learn what money really is,” he said. “The whole time you’re speaking to adults, and that’s something most 9- or 10-year-olds avoid doing it.” “Our customers will invite us into their houses to keep us warm while they are going to get there money. They’ll give

us water on hot days,” Griffi n added. The youngest Kelley said an ex-Marine had a choice words when learned the news. “When I informed him that the kids were being ‘kicked out’ of this paper route, he informed me that he was going to try to kick them out. He is not responding lightly to all this,” Griffi n said. The Kelleys also worry for their older customers. While they make sure the paper ends up at the doorstep, the don’t trust adults in cars to do the same thing. “A lot of our customers are too old to be walking to the bottom of their driveway to get their paper,” Griffi n said.

A look back References to The Enquirer using “newsboys” can be found dating back to at least 1845, just four years after the paper was founded. In those early days,

there were several daily newspapers in Cincinnati. Hundreds of newsboys worked in the city. After the second World War and the huge expansion of public education and suburbia, the job of paper boy or girl took on the look many envision today – the young person tossing papers over the handlebars of their bike. That continued into the 1990s, the decades that brought us the internet, a technology that proved to be monumentally disruptive to the newspaper industry. The Associated Press reported in 2006 that in 1994, more than half of newspaper carriers were under 18. Twelve years later, 81 percent were adults in cars. The demise of afternoon papers, a shift to centralized distribution and earlier delivery deadlines were cited as reasons for the shift. The Enquirer’s parent company, Gannett, operates hundreds of newspapers in 47 states and Guam. Most phased out the use of junior carriers years ago. See CARRIERS, Page 3A

Carriers Continued from Page 2A

The Community Press and Recorders are among the last in Gannett to shift to an adult carrier program, consistent with industry best practices, according to Enquirer Executive Editor Beryl Love. Before the program began winding down this spring, there were 1,568 youth carriers delivering to 60,120 homes in region.

It’s not a fi nancial decision. Love noted that it will cost more to hire adult carriers than to continue paying young people to do the job. “Ending the youth carrier program was an extremely diffi cult decision to make. The paper boy or paper girl is an iconic part of our history and it’s sad to see that tradition going away,” Love said. “That said, in this day and age, the safety concerns are signifi cant, and many families are uncomfortable with the idea of sending children out doorto-door.”

ond quarter when compared to the start of the pandemic’s eﬀ ect in China in early February.” The General Electric division represents more than 5% of local manufacturing jobs. Manufacturing – in all sectors from automotive, steel, food and chemical production – represents 11% of the Cincinnati region’s 1.1 million jobs. GE Aviation had previously said it would cut 10% of its U.S. workforce in response to the novel coronavirus pandemic. These job reductions are an expansion of that, not a separate addition, oﬃ cials said.

According to GE’s annual report, GE Aviation employs 52,000 worldwide. Therefore, today’s reduction could leave 13,000 people jobless. In his letter, Joyce called the cuts “permanent” and part of a plan to attempt to save billions of dollars. GE Aviation is developing $1 billion of cost actions and $2 billion of cash actions in 2020, Joyce wrote. “While extremely diffi cult, I am confi dent this is the required response to the continued contraction of the industry, and its protracted recovery,” he said. “I am equally confi dent that the industry will recover over time and that we will be positioned to win.” While commercial aviation has suffered due to the pandemic, GE Aviation has said its military business remains strong.

Ginger beer.

Rita Heikenfeld

Guest columnist

HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Ginger beer can be made in less than a day Whether you’re working at home in a spare bedroom, a corner of the family room or in a real home offi ce, or even if you don’t usually work outside the home, one thing’s for certain. Most of us are doing more cooking than we ever thought possible. And being adventurous, yet frugal, in the process. I’m guessing that’s why you perked up when I mentioned ginger beer recently. Now don’t get excited – it’s not a real beer, since it contains no grain. But because ginger beer uses yeast in the quick fermenting process, we call it a “beer.” Ginger beer, made with ginger root, is naturally fi zzy with a sweet and spicy bite. The fi rst time I enjoyed it was at friend Triset De Fonseka’s Sri Lankan restaurant, Aralia. That was a long while back. I just assumed it was hard to make, but it isn’t. Ginger beer can be made in less than a day. The original recipe called for wine/champagne yeast, but I used regular bread yeast. It worked fi ne. If I can score some wine yeast, I’ll make a batch and let you know. I’m thinking the wine yeast will have a more refi ned fl avor. Oh, and one more thing. If you don’t have molasses, sub in honey or maple syrup.

Ginger Beer

fermentation. Sprinkle yeast on top of liquid.

I used 1-1/2 cups sugar, since as it ferments, it becomes less sweet.

Cover with lid. Position it so a tiny bit of air can come in. (Original recipe said to seal tight, but I was afraid of jar bursting.)

Ingredients: 8 oz. fresh ginger or frozen root, thawed, peeled a bit and coarsely chopped

Let ferment/sit at room temperature for 12 hours or so. Mine sat a full 24. The longer it ferments, the more “beery/yeasty” it tastes.

7-8 cups water 1 to 1-1/2 cups sugar

After fermenting, pour into bottles, leaving air space at the top, seal and store in refrigerator. I don’t seal mine real tight.

1 tablespoon molasses, honey or maple syrup 1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice or more to taste

Drink within 1 week.

1/4 teaspoon wine or regular bread yeast (active dry yeast)

Can be used as a base for cocktails. Freeze ginger:

1 container with enough space for fermentation, covered

Up to 6 months.

Instructions:

Grow your own ginger:

In a blender, pulse ginger with 1 quart water until roughly puréed.

Check out my abouteating.com site. Alcohol content:

Combine ginger-water, 3 to 4 more cups water, sugar and molasses in pot over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves.

About 0.5%. FDA classiﬁ es it as non-alcoholic. Ginger beer contains probiotics — good for your gut!

Add lemon juice and taste.

Fermentation tip:

Remove from heat and let cool to slightly warmer than room temperature.

Not sure if fermentation is happening? At any time during the process, give the beer a stir or shake (you can do this when you ﬁ rst add the yeast, too).

Line a funnel with coffee ﬁ lters (3) or double cheesecloth to strain liquid into container. Press on solids. I used a big glass jar. A big plastic soda bottle works, too. There should be 3” or so of space left on top for

You should see some action – bubbles forming and if you look close, tiny fermentation bubbles will be rising through the liquid.

Cincinnati bishop resigns leadership post over handling of priest later accused of rape Dan Horn and Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

One of the highest-ranking offi cials in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati resigned May 7 over how he handled complaints about the behavior of a priest who was later accused of raping an altar boy. Auxiliary Bishop Joseph R. Binzer, who had ranked below only Archbishop Dennis Schnurr in the archdiocese's hierarchy, will leave his post and be assigned to another job as a priest, rather than as a bishop. Binzer had also served as priest personnel director, but Schnurr removed him from that role last year after he failed to bring past concerns about the Rev. Geoff rey Drew’s conduct to the attention of Archbishop Dennis Schnurr and the priest personnel board. In a statement on May Drew 7, Binzer apologized for his handling of the complaints about Drew and said he'd off ered his resignation to the Vatican in April, which was accepted by Pope Francis. "I am deeply sorry for my role in addressing the concerns raised about Father Drew, which has had a negative impact on the trust and faith of the people of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati," Binzer said. "I believe this to be in the best interest of the archdiocese." Offi cials of the archdiocese, which sprawls over 19 counties and includes 211 parishes, would not say whether Binzer's resignation was the result of a Vatican investigation, which they have previously said they expected. Schnurr did not address the matter in the statement Thursday and archdiocese offi cials did not immediately return calls for comment. "In this diffi cult and unfortunate time please keep Bishop Binzer and all the people of the archdiocese in your prayers," Schnurr said. The archbishop said he has not determined what role Binzer would play in the archdiocese in the future. The archdiocese's handling of Drew's case has been in the spotlight since July,

Cincinnati Auxiliary Bishop Joseph R. Binzer offered his resignation to Pope Francis over how he handled allegations against a priest, and the pope took him up on it. PROVIDED

when church offi cials announced he was being removed from St. Ignatius of Loyola in Green Township after parents complained the priest had sent text messages to a boy there. Soon after, however, church offi cials disclosed that they had received complaints in 2013 and 2015 about Drew while he was pastor at St. Maximilian Kolbe in Liberty Township. Those complaints involved physical contact with boys, such as rubbing shoulders and patting knees. Prosecutors in Butler County and Hamilton County determined Drew's behavior may not have been appropriate, but it did not rise to the level of a crime. Parishioners at St. Ignatius were outraged they had not been told of the prior complaints about Drew. Church offi cials said Schnurr did not know about them because Binzer, who also served as the priest personnel director, had not told him about them. Schnurr removed Binzer of his personnel duties but kept him as auxiliary bishop. Weeks later, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters announced that a former altar boy had accused Drew of raping him on multiple occasions between 1988 and 1991 at St. Jude's in Bridgetown. The boy, now 41, said he was 10 years old when the abuse began. Drew, who was not a priest at the time, led St. Jude's music ministry at the time and also taught music at Elder High School.

Convertible stolen from Woody Sander Ford

Drew has pleaded not guilty to the rape charges. He faces up to life in prison if he is convicted. Some St. Ignatius parishioners have complained from the outset that the archdiocese has not been forthright with them about Drew or its oversight of the priest. On May 7, a representative of Concerned Catholics, a group that formed in the wake of the Drew case, said she remains concerned they are not getting the full story. Teresa Dinwiddie-Herrmann said she welcomed the news of Binzer's removal, but she believes Schnurr and possibly others have not been held to account. "He certainly made poor decisions," she said of Binzer. "But myself and many others wonder if he's being made the scapegoat." Little is known about how the church has investigated the handling of Drew's case, other than that Vatican ofﬁ cials were expected late last year to begin looking into the matter. Pope Francis laid the groundwork for such investigations in 2019 when he released new guidelines for bishops around the world in a document titled "Vos estis lux mundi," or "You are the light of the world." The guidelines, among other things, require bishops to aggressively enforce child protection rules and to move swiftly to discipline or remove priests accused of wrongdoing. The document came in response to years of criticism about the church's failure to act on abuse accusations and, in some cases, to cover them up. Binzer is a Cincinnati native and worked for years as an accountant before entering the seminary. He was ordained a priest on June 4, 1994. Binzer served as chancellor of the archdiocese for eight years before being ordained a bishop and installed as auxiliary bishop on June 9, 2011.

Cincinnati seeks Cincinnati barbers and stylists excited to reopen family, friends of deceased whose bodies are unclaimed

Cincinnati is looking for family or friends of nine people who died in the city in March and April and whose bodies have not been claimed. The people who died in March were: ❚ Charles Abney, 38. ❚ Sharon Duskins, 66. ❚ Keith Heinze, 59. ❚ Vincent Lucy, 55.

Alethia S. Williams, owner of the Glamour Braid Salon on Glencrossing Way, on Thursday, May 7. Williams said she has been closed since March 18 due to COVID-19 but has been sanitizing her salon to reopen on May 15. Williams said she will close her waiting area and customers will be given a pager to notify them when they can come inside.

❚ Ruben O’Cain Jr., 59. The people who died in April were: ❚ Michael Carter, 58. ❚ Frances Douthit, 61. ❚ Margaret Haderski, 67. ❚ Mark Warner, 57. Anyone with information about the deceased is asked to call Katy Combs at the Cincinnati Vital Records/ Statistics Department at 513-352-4589.

Stylist Kayla Kroomer said the salon is also considering whether they need to wear scrubs or gowns during each shift. “We are trying to get ahead of the game,” Kroomer told the Enquirer Thursday. “We’ve also heard that some states are thinking about not letting stylists blow-dry clients’ hair because of airborne particles. We hope it doesn’t come down to that. Clients come in for a nice service and shouldn’t have to leave with wet hair.” Marc Ambrosius, a makeup artist and stylist at Studio 900, said the salon may book 30-minute intervals between clients to clean the area. He said the stylists have been getting lots of text messages as to when they’ll reopen. Darius Godfrey, a barber at Brilliant Blendz in Pleasant Ridge, said

After being closed for nearly two months due to the new coronavirus pandemic, Ohio barbershops and salons will fi nally get to reopen their doors starting May 15, according to Governor Mike DeWine’s plan. With less than a week to prepare, owners are scrambling to fi gure out what the new normal looks like for clients and stylists. Many shops are changing the way services are provided and limiting the number of people allowed in the building at one time. DeWine created an advisory group of personal service professionals to advise him on the best practices for reopening dine-in locations, hair salons, restaurants, and other personal services. Debbie Penzone, who helped lead the salon reopening task force, said many changes coming will affect customers. Some salons may have clients wait in their cars or wear masks before entering the building, she said during the press conference. Prior to the pandemic, Glamour Braid Salon in Western Hills allowed people to walk-in for services. The salon is only accepting scheduled appointments now and requiring all clients to wear masks, said Owner Alethia Williams. “If you don’t have a mask, we will have some available for purchase here in the salon,” Williams said. “We’ll be able to see each other and I can keep you safe while you come in. We’ll also have thermometers to check the temperatures of the clients to make sure we are all safe.” These changes are happening across the Tri-State. Owners and stylists at Studio 900, located in downtown Cincinnati, are trying to fi nd ways to please every client while also maintaining safety precautions.

Jacob Murray’s long baseball path sends him back to UC Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLERAIN TOWNSHIP - Jacob Murray’s crooked path to realizing Division I baseball dreams took another unexpected turn May 4 when he became a Cincinnati Bearcat. Again. Just over a month ago, he was hitting balls with his younger brother Luke at Northern Kentucky University with his father Mark pitching. The Murrays had just seen NKU’s season come to an abrupt halt thanks to new coronavirus restrictions. Parents Sherry and Mark Murray also saw their dream season of Jake (senior) and Luke (freshman) go up in smoke with all NCAA, high school and pro sports postponed. Nearing completion of his degree, he couldn’t justify coming back for another season at NKU with little money available. The NCAA allows 11.7 full scholarships to be divided among 27 selected players. But, he wasn’t ready to quit the game entirely. The lefty decided to make one more swing for the fences and entered the

NCAA transfer portal as a grad transfer for a possible extra season. Just as he had done as a highly-decorated Greater Miami Conference Player of the Year out of Colerain, Murray sent out videos and emails. The fi rst, ironically, went to the University of Cincinnati. In 2015, Murray played with the Bearcats in the fall. It was convenient as his mother, Sherry is the executive assistant in the UC Football Offi ce. However, there was a poor fi t and poor chemistry between then-coach Ty Neal and Murray. As a result, he was without a team going into 2016.

Enter Keith Bauman at UC-Clermont. Bauman scooped up the Colerain star and Murray went on to a pair of celebrated seasons with the Cougars, becoming a United States Collegiate Athletic Association All-American. Murray led the team with a .425 average, fi ve homers and 43 runs batted in in 2017. The UC-Clermont notoriety led Murray to summer ball stints with the Hamilton Joes in the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League where the talent is predominately Division I. Murray also was able to sign with Todd Asalon at NKU whereupon sitting out a season, he could achieve his dream of playing Division I baseball. His fi rst season with the Norse was OK, with his parents juggling Jake’s NKU games with Luke’s Colerain games. This past season was supposed to a family celebration with both brothers at NKU, but coronavirus pulled the proverbial tarp on baseball fi elds March 12. The Norse were one-game into their fi rst homestand and the season had See MURRAY, Page 2B

La Salle basketball assistant takes over at Springboro Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

La Salle basketball coach Brett Kostoff has landed a head-coaching position at the Division I level. Kostoff has been tapped as the next head basketball coach at Springboro, pending board approval. The school recently announced the move. Kostoff spent the last seven years as a varsity assistant at La Salle under Dan Fleming and current head coach Pat Goedde. “I think Brett’s got it. I think they (Springboro) have a diamond in the rough,” Goedde said. “This is great time for that school and I think Brett (Kostoff ) is gonna do an awesome job. I’m just so proud of him that he’s getting a big-time job. They have over 2,000 kids and I think he’ll do a great job there.” Kostoff has been the associate head coach since Goedde was hired to replace Fleming prior to the 2017-18 season. In

two years as the junior varsity head coach, Kostoff compiled a 35-7 record and won a Greater Catholic LeagueSouth championship. “His (Kostoff ’s) dream was to be a head coach,” Goedde said. “I’m happy it happened so soon at a Division I school.” Last season, La Salle was ranked one of the top teams in Ohio for Division I. The Lancers won their fi rst 10 games and fi nished 23-4 with a district championship. Goedde was named cocoach of the year in the GCL-South and southwest district and was recently selected as The Enquirer’s Division I boys basketball coach of the year. Goedde said that his plan is to be at La Salle for the next 15 years, so he tells his assistant coaches when they get to North Bend Road that they should gain experience to try to advance their career as a head coach elsewhere. “I want you to get all of the information you can get, try to get better and try

The Ohio High School Athletic Association recently announced in a press release that its state cross country championships will be moving to Fortress Obetz, a 50-acre multi-purpose sports complex with a 6,500-seat grandstand on the southeast side of Columbus. Fortress Obetz opened in 2017 on the former site of the Columbus Motor Speedway, which closed in 2016. The racing that will now take place there in early November represents one of the largest high school cross country events in the nation, with an attendance of more than 11,000 fans. “We can’t wait for our student-athletes and Ohio’s entire cross country community to experience the state championships at Fortress Obetz,” Executive Director Jerry Snodgrass said. “This facility is so impressive, from the course layout for the competitors to being more spectator friendly for the fans and we are thrilled to sign a fi veyear agreement.” Fortress Obetz was built to host sporting events, concerns, festivals and more. It was home of the Ohio Machine, a professional lacrosse team, from 2017 to 2019. The facility has fi ve video boards, concessions, restrooms and a big parking lot. The grandstand includes 1,100 fl ip-down seats, 2,000 bench-back seats and 3,400 bleacher seats. “The Village of Obetz is extremely proud and excited to partner with the OHSAA,” National Director of Athletic Operations and Facilities Promotion Steve Adams said. “We feel our Memorial Park and the Fortress is perfectly suited for the OHSAA cross country state tournament. We have created a safe and challenging course for the runners and kept the spectator experience in mind, as well.” The OHSAA state cross country championships were held at Scioto Downs, located just south of Columbus, from 1985 to 2010. National Trail Raceway in Hebron hosted the state championships from 2011 to 2018. “We would like to thank National Trail Raceway for hosting the state championships for the last nine years and doing an outstanding job as our host,” Snodgrass said.

to ﬁ nd a job. That’s the whole deal here,” Goedde said. Kostoﬀ takes over at Springboro after Kyle Youker resigned earlier this month after three seasons on the job and a 3241 record. The Panthers made it to the district championship game in March, where they were blitzed by two-time defending state-champion Moeller.

Springboro has gone just 16-30 combined against Greater Western Ohio Conference opponents over the past four seasons. The Panthers play in the national division, which includes defending Division II state-champion Trotwood-Madison, which has won 20plus games in each of the past ﬁ ve seasons.

SCHOOL NEWS MND creatively celebrates the Class of 2020 In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mount Notre Dame (MND) found a creative way to honor the Class of 2020. On April 27, MND held “Cougarbration 2020.” The event allowed seniors to participate in a scheduled drive-thru in the MND parking lot where they were safely celebrated and cheered. Extreme care was taken in planning the event to ensure the health and safety of students, faculty and staff . Students remained in their vehicles while they processed through the parking lot. It was an opportunity for them to receive important items such as caps and gowns, senior yard signs, time capsules and other special graduation gifts. More importantly, it provided a meaningful memory for the Class of 2020 despite a senior year that has not gone according to plan. MND Principal Mrs. Karen Day commented, “The students, faculty and staff at MND are family – a sisterhood. It has been our goal to fi nd ways to help our students feel connected during this time out of the school building. Our seniors have shared their gifts with our community for four years and this event allowed us to give them some love to carry on these last few weeks. We were blessed with a warm day and, in turn, it warmed our hearts! God is good!” Jen Thamann, Mount Notre Dame

Family makes, donates protective masks to Ronald McDonald House and other organizations It started with 100 protective masks and one Indian Hill School District family. Meet the Choi brothers – Indian Hill Middle School seventh-grade student Daniel and Indian Hill High School junior Allen. Together with their mother, Young Ju Kim, and their father, Yoon Choi, they have worked tirelessly to produce protective masks for families they have never met. The donations were for the residents staying at Cincinnati’s Ronald McDonald House. At least, that is where the fi rst 100 masks were donated. “After hearing fi rst-hand from the staff at Ronald McDonald about the serious shortage of masks, we decided to make and donate a further 100 masks to a hospice and a senior center,” explained Allen Choi. “We noticed that a lot of people are going through extremely tough times because of the coronavirus, and therefore we wanted to help out the community in some way.” Allen Choi said the family felt called to action after seeing a news story about the shortage. The Choi family produced masks made of two sanitized cotton cloths and a washable fi lter. He says the family found support through the Indian Hill High School counseling team, School Nurse Shelley Hoyer, and Indian Hill Middle School Assistant Principal Cash Hayden. “We received a warm welcome from a staff member at the Ronald McDonald House and knew that the toil and hardship were worth it,” said Allen Choi. “I am so glad to have started this project with my family for those who are not as lucky as we are.” Heather Higdon, Indian Hill School District

With BIC, all children have the opportunity to start the day fed and ready to learn. The program not only ensures that students have access to daily nutrition, it eliminates the fi nancial pressures and burdens that are often felt by staff . Prior to the implementation of BIC, we were fi nding that some of our staff members were spending their own money to buy food items for students to eat when they were hungry, said Robison. “We knew we really needed to address all sides of the issue, so we began brainstorming the best methods of providing for our students and to address all of our concerns.” Robison wanted to focus on eliminating the stigma surrounding school breakfast. In the past, students who ate

school breakfast in the cafeteria were students who qualifi ed for free and reduced breakfast. The stigma surrounding being identifi ed as low-income kept many students from eating, regardless of income level. She found that implementing BIC not only removed the stigmas, it allowed more students to have the opportunity to start the day with the fuel they needed to learn. “We recognized the importance of eating breakfast while also being cognizant of the stigma that tends to come with free and reduced meal status,” said Robison. “Because of this, we decided to off er BIC so that all students, not just those who qualify, had access to a nutritious breakfast on a daily basis.” Lyndsey Creecy, Northwest Local School District

Three NWLSD schools receive 2020 Champion of School Breakfast Award The Ohio School Breakfast Partners recently named Struble Elementary, Taylor Elementary and Pleasant Run Elementary as 2020 Champion of School Breakfast Award Winners. The award was given to schools that implement collaborative and innovative school breakfast practices. This is the fi rst year that the Northwest Local schools received the award. Since last year, the district’s Food Service Department has made monumental changes to eliminate barriers surrounding breakfast, including addressing and decimating the stigma associated with free and reduced breakfast. Their resolution was to create “Breakfast in the Classroom” (BIC). BIC moves away from the traditional manner that schools provide breakfast. Instead of students eating in the cafeteria, students are served breakfast in the classroom during the fi rst 15 minutes of class, when routine activities like morning announcements and attendance are done. The implementation allows staff and students the added benefi t of not having to worry about morning bus schedules and drop off times. “When students arrive at school, they are often preoccupied with getting to class and talking to friends. Even if they are hungry, they do not always take the time to visit the cafeteria. Having breakfast in the classroom really addresses the concerns we had surrounding time.” said Lisa Robison, Food Service Supervisor for the Northwest Local School District. The switch brought a signifi cant change in the number of students who chose to consume breakfast. This year, the participating schools increased their breakfast participation rate from 20-30% to 70-80%.

terest from UC, head baseball coach Scott Googins called Monday with an off er. “It’s been a ride!” Murray said. “I can only describe it as overjoyed. Having to leave was terrible. The fact that I get to go back now is very, very surreal.” Maybe Googins remembered Jake’s run-scoring in double last May 14 which briefl y tied the Norse with UC. Or maybe, he just needed a leftyswinging outfi elder. Whatever the reason, the Murray family is on cloud nine and if ten is available they may soon be within reach.

“It’s all kind of crazy,” Sherry Murray said. “That’s been his ultimate dream. We had joked about it in the past if he could transfer to UC. We just thought it would never really come to fruition.” With Sherry Murray being a long-time UC staﬀ er, Jake won’t need any more loans for school. He also can wear a plethora of red and black C-Paw clothes scattered around the house without feeling guilty. “All I’ve ever really known is to keep my head down and work and whatever happens will happen,” Murray said. “I

would be lying if I said there wasn’t a chip on my shoulder.” While his parents may have to split time between UC’s Marge Schott Stadium and NKU’s Ray Akers Field nine miles away, it’s a good bet his mother will take the road less traveled. From her post in the Bearcat football oﬃ ce with Coach Luke Fickell, the ﬁ eld can be seen through a window and her walk would be a couple of extra-base hits in length. “You couldn’t write this!” Murray said laughing. Yet we did.

Eula Lee (Lightner) Miles celebrated 100 years of life on Feb. 15, 2020. In the early hours of the morning of April 26, she took her last breath and departed this earthly life. Born in Columbia Alabama in 1920 to Judy and James Lightner. She married the love of her life, Ivory William Miles, Sr in Norfolk, VA in 1944. The couple moved to Cincinnati, OH in 1945 and made Evanston Avenue their home, where they raised three sons, Ivory Jr, Mack, and Donald. Eula could make anything in the world. From beautiful dresses to ﬂ ower bouquets, table arrangements to Easter baskets, wedding direction to fashion shows. Very creative mind and talented hands, Eula was the go to for any and all occasion or decorations. Don’t forget about the cooking. You could not walk in her home and not eat. Eula insisted on making sure everyone ate something, even if it was only a grape or two! She had a baking hand and southern style for making any dish. Her famous recipes were honed by her children and taught to her grandchildren when they came over for weekend visits and at church with her fellow members, when preparing for a special event. Eula was dedicated to her faith and her church, Brown Chapel A.M.E. There she served as a member and an oﬃ cer of various organizations including the Eureka Harris Willis Missionary Society, Camille Hood Crusaders Club, Church Women United of Greater Cincinnati and the Federation of Colored Women’s Club. She was elected Life Member of the Southern Ohio Missionary Society in 2000. She played basketball and

studied at Albany State University as well as the University of Cincinnati, where she received her Bachelors of Art in Education. Eula put her heart and training to work teaching students with severe and developmental disabilities at Dyer and Fairfax schools.This was her true passion. She retired in 1985 after 30 years of service. Eula was active in her community of Evanston where she volunteered with the Red Cross, served as a den mother for the Boy Scouts of America and bowled regularly, in a local league at Stone Lanes in Norwood. Eula did more than most of us will ever do, in her 100 years of life. She has truly lived through the things in history we only read about! There have been lots of laughs, hugs and smiles there have also been some heartbreaks, tears and fear. Through it all, Eula Lee (Lightner) Miles remained strong and of sound mind! Residing in Colerain Township in her ﬁ nal days, she woke up every morning thanking The Lord for his Mercy and Grace. Eula was and will continue to be, a beloved spirit. Her life’s work shows that her presence in this world touched so many. This was evident at her birthday party. At this Epic event, our Matriarch was honored and greeted by faces she hadn’t seen in years! She was very happy on her 100th birthday. Eula was preceded in death by her husband, Ivory W. Miles Sr and her siblings Gency Mcloryd, Laura Bigham, Essie Wrespress, Clarence Lightner, Benjamin Lightner, Ruben Lightner and Jessie Lightner. To cherish her memory she leaves behind her children Ivory Jr. (Brenda), Mack and Donald (Shannon); the granddaughter she and Ivory Sr

raised, Rachael (Michael) Dubose, as well as ﬁ ve additional grandchildren; Brian Miles Sr. (Latrice), Amber, Krysta, Shannan and Danielle; her twelve great-grandchildren: Brianna, Brian Jr, Jaden, Zion, Jianna, Peyton, Taidgh, Jaziyah, Takari, Sebastian, Jalai’Yah and Ja’Ryia; and the newest edition, her great-great granddaughter Brooklyn, whom will miss her dearly along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends including her bestie, Ms. Bobbie Bonner.

Rotary Helping Hands supports Operation Give Back during pandemic The Rotary Club of Northeast Cincinnati donated $2,500 in April to support the food pantry of Operation Give Back. OGB is a non-profit that supports students and families in the Blue Ash area with food, after school tutoring, and school supplies. With the closing of schools, businesses, and furloughs to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the demand for food assistance is higher than ever. This donation is the ﬁ rst of a new program the Rotary Club program calls Helping Hands. By working with local non-proﬁ t organizations, the Club will supply funds to help meet the needs of individuals or families that are often overlooked in the Club’s service area including Sharonville, Montgomery, Loveland, and Blue Ash.

Pandemic delays annual river clean-up Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The annual Ohio River Sweep event has been rescheduled due to COVID-19, according to the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission, which organizes the event. "The ﬁ rst priority of the program is the safety of our coordinators and volunteers," said Lisa Cochran, program manager for the event. The event was planned for June 20, but now the event will be split up into

multiple dates. The Ohio River Sweep occurs in the six states which border the Ohio River. Organizers said each of these states has a diﬀ erent timeline for allowing group activities to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. In the past, the sweep has happened across the region at the same time, but this year, each community will schedule its own date. More information can be found at www.ohioriversweep.org or by contacting local coordinators listed there.

These famous people went to high school in Greater Cincinnati Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati has had a lot of famous high schoolers over the years. Students who would go on to become pro football players, World Cup winners, actors, baseball players and singers walked the halls of area schools before ﬁ nding fame.

Here are some of the famous people who went to high school in Cincinnati: Andy Williams, a six-time Grammy nominated singer, attended Western Hills High School for ninth and tenth grade from 1941-1942. In 2000, Larry Nager interviewed Williams for the Cincinnati Enquirer. Williams reminisced about West Hi, saying, “They were the best years of my life. There were fraternities and sororities in high school. We had a handshake and a clubhouse. And football was great and the girls were great, and I was discovering both.” He would eventually have his own show, “The Andy Williams Show.” Barry Larkin graduated from Moeller in 1982, where he played baseball, basketball and football. Larkin was selected for the 1985 Reds draft. He became the ﬁ rst shortstop in Major League history to hit 30 home runs and steal 30 bases in the same season and was part of the 1990 World Champion Reds. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2012. Ken Griﬀ ey Jr. played baseball at Moeller in his junior and senior years,

1986 and 1987. Griff ey would become the No. 1 overall draftee by Seattle in 1987. By 1989, Griff ey was in the major leagues with the Mariners at age 19, and spent nine seasons with the Reds. Griff ey was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2016. Roger Staubach, a 1960 Purcell graduate, went on to the U.S. Naval Academy where he won the Heisman Trophy, followed by a decade-long Hall of Fame career as quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. Don Zimmer, a 1949 Western Hills graduate, was enshrined into the Cincinnati Public Schools Athletic Hall of Fame in 2014. According to CPS, he was named the Most Outstanding football player at Western Hills for the school's fi rst 50 years (1928-78). Zimmer played in the minors for a couple of years before being called up to Brooklyn in 1954 to start his 12-year major league career. Jerry Rubin graduated from Walnut Hills High School in 1956, where he edited the school newspaper, the Chatterbox. He helped found the Youth International Party, known as Yippies, in the 1960s, and was among the demonstrators known as the Chicago Eight charged with conspiracy to incite the riots that disrupted the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Theda Bara, born Theodosia Goodman, graduated from Walnut Hills High School in 1903 before becoming a silent fi lm star. She was cast as the lead in “A Fool There Was” (1915), portraying a seductress who would popularize the term “vamp.” To make her seem exotic, Fox

studio claimed she was born “in the shadow of the Sphinx” in Egypt to an Italian father and French actress mother. Ruth Lyons, a 1923 graduate of Withrow High School, was a television talk show pioneer as host of “The 50-50 Club” every weekday at noon on WLWT-TV in the 1950s and ’60s. Kyle Rudolph, a 2008 Elder grad, is now a tight end for the Minnesota Vikings. He was the Minnesota Vikings nominee for the 2017 and 2018 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award. In 2018, Rudolph was the main donor of Elder’s new ﬁ tness center. Carmen Electra graduated from Princeton High School in 1990 when she was still known as Tara Leigh Patrick. She moved to Los Angeles later in 1990 and met Prince while auditioning for his allgirl band. He wrote a song for her, changed her name and made her a star, according to WVXU. Nick Lachey, a 1992 graduate of the School for Creative and Performing Arts, was part of the band 98 Degrees in the 1990s. He was recently the host of the Netﬂ ix series, “Love Is Blind.” William Howard Taft graduated from Woodward High School in 1874. In 1908, he was elected President of the United States, and the next day laid the cornerstone for the new school building of his alma mater. He was also a Chief Justice of the United States. Pete Rose graduated from Western Hills High School in 1960. The Hit King was part of the legendary Big Red Machine in the 1970s and set the all-time rec-

ord for hits in 1985. Rosemary Clooney attended four Cincinnati high schools: Hughes, Withrow, Our Lady of Mercy academy and Western Hills. Clooney was a successful singer and actress whose fi rst big hit was "Come On A My House" in 1951. Doris Day, born Doris von Kappelhoff , attended Our Lady of Angels High School in St. Bernard but left to start her performance career. Greg Hamilton, whose birth name was Greg Hutson, was a 1997 graduate of Hamilton High School. He became an announcer for WWE in 2015. Ezzard Charles was a 1942 Woodward High School graduate. The “Cincinnati Cobra” was the world heavyweight boxing champion from 1949 to 1951 and has a street named after him in Over-the-Rhine . Luke Kuechly was a 2009 St. Xavier graduate and was the fourth St. X grad to make a Super Bowl roster when he played for the Carolina Panthers. Rose Lavelle graduated from Mount Notre Dame in 2013. The soccer star was part of the U.S. Women’s National Team and helped win a World Cup in 2019. George Clooney graduated from Augusta Independent High School in 1979. The actor has won two Oscars and four Golden Globes for his work. David Justice graduated from Covington Latin in 1982. The former right fi elder played for the Atlanta Braves (1989-96), Cleveland Indians (1997-2000), New York Yankees (2000-01), and the Oakland Athletics (2002).
