But where?

Federal stimulus money could silence the gunfi re that has echoed through Evendale and Lincoln Heights for 70 years.

The Hamilton County administration on May 19 proposed using $5 million of the $158 million the county will get from the American Rescue Plan to relocate the Cincinnati Police Department fi ring range on the border of those two towns.

The main question now is, where?

Moving a facility residents in Lincoln Heights said sounds like a “war zone” won’t be easy.

Leaders have considered moving it next to or expanding the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s gun range in a rural part of Colerain Township.

The township, city, county, residents and police have yet to sign off on that move.

By the end of the year, Lincoln Heights residents hope a plan is in place to rid themselves of a gun range that has been there since World War II.

Gunshots the ‘soundtrack of life’

Home prices are surging in nearly every corner of the Cincinnati metro area but Forest Park is setting a pace most other neighborhoods can’t keep up with.

Median home prices in Forest Park rose 20.4% at the end of March, ranking just behind Norwood for the fastest gain in home prices from a year earlier, according to a recent 24/7 Wall St. report.

Home values in the city of about 18,500 residents just north of Cincinnati are also rising faster than they are for the region as a whole.

But there’s one big diff erence between Forest Park and all the other communities where home values climbed the most in Hamilton County examined by 24/7 Wall Street: more than 60% of Forest Park residents are Black.

In a metro area that remains remarkably segregated, Forest Park stands out not only for its diversity but also for the level of Black homeownership.

Generations have grown up in Lincoln Heights with the sound of gunfi re coming from the police fi ring range.

For decades, residents have said they didn’t feel the police and city cared about the noise and psychological toll infl icted on a residential village of 3,300, 88% of which are Black, according to the U.S. Census.

Now they feel they’re fi nally being heard.

Daronce Daniels lives a half-mile from the shooting range and can hear the pop-pop-pop from pistols and rifl es on a regular basis. So do his children, age 3 and 12. And the children he coaches in a youth football league.

“This is a home beyond just a house, bricks and mortar,” said Daniels, whose family has lived in Lincoln Heights for fi ve generations, six if you count his children. “These are true roots in the community. The thought of

‘Something of my own’ Only about a third of Black families in the Cincinnati metro area are homeowners, compared to about three-quarters of white families - one of the largest such gaps in the country, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey’s fi ve-year estimate from 2015-2019.

In Forest Park, the split is almost even with 59% of white families living in owner-occupied homes, compared to 58% of Black families who are reaping the rewards of the surge in home values.

“I do like having something of my own that I could pass down to my kids if I wanted to,” said 40-year old Nicole Jones, a Black mother who bought a ranch-style house on Cascade Road in Forest Park about four years ago.

Buying a place to live is perhaps the single best way to achieve the kind of prosperity that can be passed down from generation to generation.

But most Black families have missed out on the real estate gold rush driven by low supply and fi erce competition for available listings that frequently drive prices tens of thousands of dollars

above asking.

In addition to its growing value, Jones said her Forest Park home has also paid dividends by allowing her four children to blossom in a true familyfriendly neighborhood free of the “drama” she experienced growing up in Cleveland “I don’t have to worry about a driveby (shooting) on my street, or seeing a drug deal going down on the corner,” she said of her neighborhood, which has one of the lowest crime rates in the Cincinnati area. “This is a good neighborhood compared to where I grew up, and it has off ered my children better opportunities and exposure.”

Jones proudly points out that her two oldest children, Alana, 19, and Michael, 18, are heading to college next year. And her two youngest children, Lamare, 15, and Jordan, 7, are performing well in the Winton Woods school system, which she described as “extremely diverse.”

Near Forest Park: Forests and parks So how has Forest Park managed to become such a successfully integrated community?

Residents Black and white say it’s because the neighborhood off ers what just about every homeowner wants at an aff ordable price.

While Forest Park residents have seen dramatic home price appreciation, prices are still typically less expensive than in most other neighborhoods in Southwest Ohio.

Forest Park’s median home price – the price at which half the homes sell for more and half sell for less – was about $179,000 in March, according to 24/7 Wall St. By comparison, the median home price for Southwest Ohio climbed 12.3 percent to $219,000 in March, compared to the same month a year ago, according to the Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors, which recently reported the Southwest Ohio fi gure spiked to $235,000 in April.

In addition to aff ordability, Forest Park off ers the comfort of a well-established neighborhood with tree-lined streets, well-manicured lawns and close proximity to two Hamilton CounSee FOREST PARK, Page 4A

The Sheriff's department gun range in Colerain Twp. Is home to 14 agencies and may soon include Cincinnati Police Department. Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey said the 14 acres would accommodate the additional agency. The CPD gun range is currently in Lincoln Heights, but neighbors have long complained of the noise from the range.

Cincinnati Children’s behavioral health center to get underway soon Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center is planning for a new inpatient behavioral health facility to address what offi cials call “unprecedented” levels of child and adolescent depression, anxiety, mood disorders and other behavioral health problems in the United States.

Construction is expected to begin this summer on the center, a $99 million expansion to its College Hill facility.

Work is expected to be done in 2023.

Research shows depression and anxiety have increased in children over time and are among the most common mental health diagnoses in children, along with behavioral disorders and ADHD. The mental health issues have been underscored and exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“One in every 10 children has a disability associated with or due to mental health issues. It’s a tragedy that those needs don’t get addressed. We want to

make sure that we do not miss any of those kids,” said Dr. Michael Sorter, Cincinnati Children’s director of the division of child and adolescent psychiatry.

“The expansion is critical to what we want to do to improve our care, improve access to care and make sure we’re more inclusive to families.”

Cincinnati Children’s saw a dramatic drop in emergency department visits of kids with these problems in April 2020, as people avoided hospitals and routine medical care during the earlier months of the novel coronavirus pandemic, offi cials said. The emergency department is back to a pre-pandemic caseload.

Records show the visits for mental health in the emergency department are higher than pre-pandemic levels.

The new building will be 160,000 square feet, with fi ve stories, which is 68% larger than the current residential facility. It will have private rooms for all patients who are admitted, allowing families more visiting time, including the option of staying overnight with their children. The facility also will house expanded services for patients

Far from a done deal

the opportunity, the oneday possibility, that my children and their children will grow up in an environment where gunshots are not the soundtrack to life, that’s huge.”

The range was one reason Daniels, a member of Lincoln Heights Council, started The Heights Movement in 2017 to advocate for the village he feels has gotten a bad rap and been ignored.

No one from the county, the city, the Cincinnati Police, the head of the Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police and Colerain Township have publicly opposed moving the range.

But nothing has been approved, either.

The proposal to use $5 million of the stimulus money is still just that, a proposal. The county commissioners still must vote on it. And the actual cost of moving the range isn’t known.

So where do you locate a gun range that creates the sound of a “war zone?”

The most likely option: next to the sheriff ’s range.

It’s in a remote area near Miami Whitewater Forest.

Unlike Lincoln Heights, there’s mostly woods surrounding it. The nextdoor neighbor is a storage facility for the county engineer. There’s farmland, the Great Miami River and a baseball fi eld nearby.

The range has been there more than 40 years and, according to the sheriff and township, has garnered few, if any, complaints, offi cials with Colerain Township told The Enquirer.

Hamilton County Sheriff Charmaine McGuff ey remembers shooting there when she started with the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Department in 1983. It was just a rock quarry, but even by that time it had long been established as the place where deputies practiced shooting.

Now there’s a paved range with a wooded hillside as a backdrop, an offi ce and a fabricated “house” with doors and rooms used for diff erent training scenarios.

About 600 sheriff ’s deputies train there for 40 hours each year. It’s also used by offi cers with 14 surrounding law enforcement agencies.

This time it feels different The nonprofi t organized protests to bring the gun range issue to light.

How did the range for Cincinnati Police end up outside the city?

The Cincinnati Police have practiced and trained at the gun range since 1947. Military veterans who worked at the nearby Wright Aeronautical factory built the gun range and clubhouse on the property a few years earlier. They sold it to Cincinnati in 1946 for $3,300, even though the property was worth $30,000 at the time. The one condition was the police erect a fl agpole dedicated to veterans.

At the time, the range’s closest neighbors were the aeronautical factory and St. Rita’s School for the Deaf. But as more houses were built around the range, the noise became an issue.

About once every 10 or 20 years, residents would bring the matter to the Cincinnati Police or Cincinnati City Council only for it to fall back into obscurity.

This time it feels diff erent, said Mayor Ruby Kinsey-Mumphrey “I do feel that even though it’s not moving as quickly as we would want it to be, at least the conversation, the awareness part, is in a better place than it has been,” said

with neurodevelopment disorders.

It’s expected to be ready to open late in 2023. Staff will be added, but offi cials said it is too soon to say how many people will be hired or to identify their specifi c roles.

The expansion is made possible through a $36 million gift from the Convalescent Hospital Fund for Children, offi cials said. Cincinnati Children’s operating revenues will cover another third of the project costs, and $36 million is still needed from philanthropic supporters in the community.

“Cincinnati Children’s has a deep commitment to mental health and a great inpatient facility and residential facility, but we’re now transforming that to make sure it’s got all of the right services, all of the right privacy, and all of the right capabilities to continue providing the very best care,” said Michael Fisher, Cincinnati Children’s president and CEO. “As we point to the future, as a community and society, we have to prioritize education, prevention, treatment, and even a cure for mental health disorders.”

Hamilton County Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey visited the department's gun range in Colerain Twp., May 20. The 14-acre facility could soon include the Cincinnati Police Department. McGuffey said the 14 acres would accommodate the additional volume of CPD. LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER

“There aren’t very many residents in that area. It’s ideal in that regard,” McGuff ey said.

“The Colerain Township residents have been very generous and very accomodating. I know before any true decision is made, those residents will be consulted and talked to.”

No complaints from residents Gunfi re doesn’t seem to bother the handful of residents nearby in rural Colerain Township.

There’s also another gun club with a private range and a private club with a hunting preserve nearby, said Geoff Milz, Colerain Township administrator. The township has not received any complaints about the sheriff ’s range, he said.

The closest residence about 1,000 feet away is a farmhouse with a barn.

The owner declined to comment when approached by The Enquir-

er.

Colerain Township resident Lauren Trapp has lived a half-mile away from the sheriff ’s gun range for 12 years. She has no problem if the CPD moves its range to her neighborhood. She said the teenagers with fi reworks in the nearby ballfi eld make more noise.

“It’s not a problem,” Trapp said. “We hear more noise in the ballpark across the street when they let off cherry bombs.”

Before the township approves any new gun range, though, residents would have to be on board, Milz said.

“The next big step is public outreach,” Milz said. “We’re waiting on renderings and the budget from the county and city.”

Where is the city on this?

It’s not clear how eager the city is to move the gun range. Since Cincinnati

owns the land, that’s a big unknown.

City Councilwoman Jan-Michele Lemon Kearney, who county offi cials said is heading up the efforts from the city end, responded via email that they’re waiting on Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot Isaac to give the go-ahead to move forward.

Isaac didn’t agree to an interview. In a statement, he didn’t commit one way or the other, simply saying the police department is not opposed to moving.

“Right now, there is no proposed solution to the issue,” Isaac said in the statement. “It is our desire to be good neighbors and to cause no harm to the communities that we serve. We understand the impact the gun range has on citizens living in the surrounding neighborhoods. But, we need to continue to utilize our

current facility because of the function it serves to our department in terms of it being an imperative training resource for our offi cers.”

In the past seven months, Isaac has toured the sheriff ’s range and a private gun range in Newtown, county offi cials said. The one in Newton has since been ruled out, county offi cials said, due to size and location.

The Fraternal Order of Police in Cincinnati in the past has opposed moving the gun range. In 1999, then-Cincinnati Mayor Roxanne Qualls proposed closing the range and giving 12 acres of the 29-acre land to Lincoln Heights for development.

The current FOP president, Dan Hils, said he doesn’t oppose moving the range so long as a comparable facility can be built.

But he does have concerns about proposals to move the gun range next to the sheriff ’s range. He’s not sure there’s enough space for both agencies, even with an expansion to the facility. Cincinnati Police has 1,000 offi cers. On any given day, there are typically 15-20 offi cers on the CPD range.

Other tracts of land in the city, more centrally located, should be looked at, he said.

It’s clear that making modifi cations to the Lincoln Height facility and adding soundproofi ng won’t solve the problem, he said. The facility will have to move.

“I think the community has made up their mind,” Hils said. “They don’t want the facility there.”

Not enough drivers to run Cincinnati Metro 24/7, bus driver union says Briah Lumpkins Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – May 26. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates.

On Sunday, May 30, the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority was scheduled to begin 24/7 Metro service on seven of its major routes. The union president doesn't think there are enough drivers to make it a reality. The bus company disagrees.

This new 24/7 Metro service is a part of the fi rst phase of its Reinventing Metro plan. This was made possible with the passing of Issue 7 last spring. The additional 0.8% Hamilton County sales tax should provide about $100 million a year for the bus system plus another $30 million a year for road and bridge projects

ty Parks: Sharon Woods and Winton Woods, which off er fi shing, boating, golfi ng, hiking and many other activities.

The Forest Park market is so hot that Maronda Homes recently sold out the 16 new homes it’s building on about 8 acres of land near Winton Woods park along Waycross Road and Lincolnshire Drive.

Prices started at just under $300,000.

‘Everybody waves back’ Brian Huff , 57, said he’s grateful to be living in a coveted real estate market driving up the value of the house he bought on Cascade Road in 2014 for $65,000.

But he said the biggest draw for him and his girlfriend, Jody Bozzi, is the serenity and beauty of the neighborhood.

“I love it here,” he said. “It’s so quiet.

There’s the occasional car that goes by playing the music loud, but that’s rare.”

Huff , a Northern Kentucky native, said he bought his house as a fi xer-upper and has made tons of upgrades that have boosted the home’s value.

He said his next-door neighbor re-

throughout the county.

Troy L. Miller, president and business agent of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 627, expressed his doubts about Metro's new venture.

"We don't have the people," Miller said. "I mean it's just everywhere you go right now there's not enough people."

Miller said the evidence of the shortage is the incentives Metro is off ering to bring in new workers. The bus agency is off ering paid training and up to a $1,000 signing bonus. Miller said bus operators are also wearing T-shirts, including the logos for Metro and the union, that tout the hiring benefi ts.

"If we're not hurting, then why are you giving out T-shirts (and) spending all this money?" Miller asked.

But Metro's Vice President of External Aff airs Brandy Jones says otherwise.

"We actually do have enough operators to provide this 24-hour service as ex-

pected to roll out Sunday as a part of our Reinventing Metro plan," Jones said.

Metro provides bus services to Cincinnati Public School (CPS) students, which amounts to about 200 trips a day, Jones said. Once school for CPS students wraps up, all the drivers that were providing these 200 trips will work on the 24/7 routes.

Jones says Metro is actively hiring because it needs more drivers to accommodate for other enhancements in the Reinventing Metro plan.

The seven routes set to see the change to 24/7 service include: h Route 4 serving Kenwood and Blue Ash via Montgomery Road. h Route 11 serving Hyde Park, Oakley and Madisonville via Madison Road. h Route 17 serving Mount Airy, Mount Healthy, Seven Hills and Northgate via Hamilton Avenue. h Route 33 serving the Price Hills,

Westwood via Glenway Avenue. h Route 43 serving Mount Auburn, Avondale, Bond Hill and Roselawn via Reading Road. h Route 51 crosstown from Glenway Crossing to Hyde Park. h Route 78 serving Lincoln Heights, Woodlawn, Wyoming, Carthage.

In addition, these routes will see earlier and later service, according to a news release from Metro. h Route 16 serving Camp Washington, Northside, Winton Place, Finneytown and Mount Healthy. h Route 20 serving Northside, Winton Place, Finneytown, Greenhills, Forest Park and Springdale/Tri-County via Winton Road. h Route 46 serving Avondale and Winton Hills.

cently sold a similar property for $170,000.

Still, Huff has no plans to move, in part, because of the sense of community he shares with his neighbors, who he said have always been cordial and helpful.

“One of my neighbors was helping me work on my car this morning,” he said on a hot, humid day late last week. “The neighbors are so friendly. I wave to everybody, and everybody waves back.”

Across the street, 57-year-old Allen Britten – who describes himself as an avid “outdoorsman and grill master” – said his neighbors welcomed him with open arms when he and hwife moved to into the neighborhood a few years ago.

The couple, who moved to the area from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, rented a house in nearby Greenhills before they found a house they could aff ord to buy in Forest Park.

Britten said he, too, relishes the peace and quiet in a neighborhood where he said the biggest disturbances are caused

by Mother Nature.

“Every now and then you get a deer coming through your yard, but I’m good with that,” he said. “I’m more of an outdoorsman, anyway. I barbecue, I have a little fi re and I eat. That’s what I do, and this is a good place to do it.”

Brian Huff, 57, and Jody Bozzi play with their dog at their Forest Park home Wednesday May 19. Property values in Forest Park are on the rise as the housing market continues to soar. CARA OWSLEY/THE ENQUIRER

COIN SHORTAGE ZIP CODE DISTRIBUTION NOTICE

■ OHIO AREA RESIDENTS CASH IN: Pictured above and watched closely by guards are protected U.S. Coin Packages containing the valuable unsearched Vault Bags that everyone will be trying to get. It’s hard to tell how much these unsearched bags loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins could be worth someday. That’s because each Vault Bag is known to contain nearly 3 pounds of U.S. Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the early 1800’s, so you better believe at just $980 these Unsearched Vault Bags are a real steal.

Decision puts valuable United States coins back in circulation – zip codes determine who gets them Unsearched Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the 1800’s and worth up to 50 times their face value are actually being handed over to residents who find their zip code on the Distribution List below and beat the 48 hour order deadline

Who gets the U.S. Gov’t issued coins: Only U.S. residents who find their zip code listed on the Distribution List below are getting the U.S. Gov’t issued coins. If you find your zip code listed below call: 1-800-868-9527 UV31067 “The vaults at Federated Mint are going empty,” said Mary Ellen Withrow, the emeritus 40th Treasurer of the United States of America.

That’s because a decision by Federated Mint to put rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins, some worth up to 50 times their face value, back in circulation means unsea rched Vault Bags loaded w ith U. S. Gov’t issued coins dating back to the 1800’s are now being handed over to U.S. residents who find the first three digits of their zip code listed in today’s publication.

“These are not ordinary coins you find in your pocket change. These are scarce, rarely seen, collectible and non-circulating U.S. coins dating back to the 1800’s, many of which are silver, so we won’t be surprised if thousands of U.S. residents claim as many as they can get their hands on. That’s because after the bags were loaded with nearly 3 pounds of U.S. Gov’t issued coins the dates were never searched and the bags were securely sealed. That means there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search all the coins,” said Withrow.

“But don’t thank the Government. As Executive Advisor to Federated Mint, I get paid to inform and educate the general public regarding U.S. coins. Ever since the decision by Federated Mint to put rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins back in circulation, I’m being asked how much are the unsearched Vault Bags worth?

The answer is, there’s no way to tell. Coin values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but we do know this. Each unsearched bag weighs nearly 3 pounds and is known to contain rarely seen Morgan Silver Dollars and these coins alone could be worth $40 - $325 in collector value each according to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins. So there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search through all the coins. But you better believe at just $980 these unsearched Vault Bags are a steal, “said Withrow.

The only thing U.S. residents who find their zip code printed in today’s publication need to do is call the National Toll-Free Hotline before the 48-hour deadline ends.

This is very important. The Vault Bag fee has been set for $1,500 for residents who miss the 48-hour deadline, but for those

U.S. residents who beat the 48-hour deadline the Vault Bag fee is just $980 as long as they call the National Toll-Free Hotline before the deadline ends.

“R emember th is , we ca n not stop collectors from buying up all the unsearched bags of coins they can get in this special advertising announcement. And you better believe with each bag being loaded with nearly 3 pounds of U.S. Gov’t issued coins we’re guessing they’re going to go quick,” said Withrow.

The phone lines will be ringing off the hook beginning at precisely 8:30am this morning.

That’s because each unsearched Vault Bag

“With all these collectible U.S Gov’t Issued coins up for grabs we’re doing all we can to answer all the calls,” said Withrow.

Thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins. That means U.S. residents who find the first three digits of their zip code listed in today’s publication can claim the unsearched bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside.

We love our pups: Cincinnati ranked in top 20 most dog-friendly cities Emily DeLetter Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati has been voted as one of the nation’s most dog-friendly cities, according to a list released by Doggie Designer.

Cincinnati was ranked 17th overall from the dog care resource website,

coming in just behind Madison, Wisconsin. Out of 20 cities, Tucson, Arizona, snagged the top spot.

The cities were ranked on their overall dog-friendliness based on a variety of factors, including the number of off leash dog parks, leash and licensing laws, restaurants and cafes allowing dogs, bias against pets in rental properties, weather and access to health care.

According to the ranking, Cincinnati has nine off -leash dog parks, a “fair” accommodation rating, and 123 restaurants, cafes and pubs allowing dogs.

Doggie Designer also listed the most popular breed in the city: Labrador retriever.

For a more in-depth guide of Cincinnati’s dog-friendliness, visit the Doggie Designer website.

COMMUNITY NEWS Local support organization provides patients living with cancer the gift of memories When Susie Osha was diagnosed with breast cancer, the last thing on her mind was scheduling a day at the spa. “I was exhausted from the chemo treatments and when I walked by the mirror, I couldn’t recognize myself,” said Susie, a resident of Wyoming, Ohio. “My calendar was fi lled with treatment appointments and doctor visits. My husband travelled most of the week. My son was headed to college and I had a very active 15-year-old daughter.”

Susie’s battle with breast cancer began in July 2017. While under the care of OHC’s Karyn M. Dyehouse, MD, and Betsy H. Levick, MD, Susie received an email message informing her that someone nominated her and one guest for a spa day experience. The sender of the message was the Karen Wellington Foundation for LIVING with Breast Cancer (KWF).

KWF, headquartered in Cincinnati, sends cancer patients and their families LIVING with cancer on special vacations, relaxing spa days, concerts, and other FUN-ONLY activities. Kent Wellington established KWF in 2007 after his wife, Karen, lost her battle with cancer. Karen had hoped to send one cancer patient a year on a vacation after she beat cancer.

“After spending so much time being poked and prodded at doctors’ visits, I couldn’t believe someone just wanted to help me relax,” said Susie, whose obvious plus-one for the spa experience was her daughter, Peyton. Peyton had been giving her daily injections to increase her white blood count. “I was so tired from my battle, and I needed something to look forward to. I was defi nitely spoiled during my spa day.”

Friends, loved ones, co-workers, and other compassionate individuals can nominate patients actively battling cancer to receive a special vacation or event from the KWF. These experiences are made possible by generous donors who give a week of their vacation homes, timeshares, airline miles, sporting event tickets, and even cash. The small KWF staff backed by an army of volunteers solicits contributions, reviews nomination forms, and gifts the experiences.

Susie’s neighbor and fellow breast cancer survivor, Valerie Barrett, nominated her for the spa experience. “When I found out Susie was battling cancer, I couldn’t help but recognize that her situation was very similar to mine,” said Valerie. “I had been through it, and I wanted to do something for Susie to make it easier for her and her family. I was so blown away by the vacation the KWF gave to me and my family. I was anxious to share that feeling with someone else.”

Both Susie and Valerie personify the “give fi rst” mentality that is central to the KWF mission. They serve as KWF Recipient Ambassadors who organize activities to engage recipients. “Now, we have a chance to pay it forward,” said Susie. “We’ve created a community and we support one another.”

At present, KWF has a wait list of 40 women who have been nominated for gifts. They will begin a social media campaign and host their annual gala, the Karen’s Gift event, to secure more vacations and experiences. “Karma keeps bringing the volunteers and donations to us,” said Susie. “When we tell our story, people can’t help but give. The community’s been very generous.”

Susie credits her complete cancer remission with treatment she received through an OHC clinical trial. Receiving follow-up care from OHC’s Patrick J. Ward, MD, PhD, Susie’s feeling more like herself.

Her volunteer work at KWF has evolved into a part-time program assistant role giving her the opportunity to welcome more people to the KWF family.

“We hear fi rsthand from patients that a vacation or spa day has a tremendous positive impact on their emotional well-being,” said OHC’s President, D. Randolph “Randy” Drosick, MD, who is a member of the KWF Medical Advisory Board. “These experiences allow patients to step away from their appoint-

OHC is proud to be a 2021 sponsor of the growing KWF. KWF has nine chapters and aware-

ness is on the rise. “Soon, I’m headed to Phoenix to give the gift of FUN to a recently nominated cancer patient,” said Susie. “We are getting nominations from Chicago, and we hope someone wants to start a chapter there,” she added.

Last December, KWF awarded its 1,000th gift. “Many people don’t know that recipients do not have to be breast cancer patients,” noted Susie. “Kent Wellington always said, ‘Cancer is cancer. It has no boundaries. If we have the opportunity to help, we’ll do it.’” said Susie.

To perpetuate KWF’s “give fi rst” mantra, nominate a cancer patient using the web form on their website, which can be found here: https:// www.karenwellingtonfoundation.org/ nominate.html.

Deborah Davis celebrated

by HCDC Every year we celebrate the organizations and individuals that have partnered with us to help grow our local economy. Due to COVID-19, we were unable to host our Annual Meeting & Business Development Awards Ceremony.

This year we celebrated the Award recipients at their place of business.

The Todd Portune Innovation Champion Award recognizes those who promote a culture of innovation to improve Hamilton County businesses and the business community.

Deborah Davis is an innovation champion just like the late Commissioner Portune. She is continuously fueling innovative, local companies as Cincinnati Regional Director of the Minority Business Assistance Center, a senior leader at the African American Chamber, and local leader of Interise, a national program focused on equipping promising small businesses with business support resources. HCDC wants to celebrate Deborah’s eff orts to assist Minority Businesses in Hamilton County.

“Deborah is truly a diff erence-maker and she inspires an innovation culture in our community,” said HCDC President Patrick Longo.

In addition to her work with the African American Chamber, Deborah is the host of The Resource Network on WCVG 1320 AM The Voice.

The focus of this program is to help businesses launch and scale. HCDC’s Offi ce of Innovation + Creativity has been featured on this show to help connect entrepreneurs with our growth resources.

Great Parks auditing waste in fi rst step of major recycling push In the fi rst step toward a dramatic expansion of recycling options throughout the parks, Great Parks of Hamilton County is performing a large-scale waste audit from multiple locations in

Deborah Davis is celebrated by HCDC staff and her family. PROVIDED

Economic Environment Solutions International employees run a recycling audit at Winton Woods’ Central Services building. PROVIDED

Winton Woods. Up to 50 full bags of waste that was collected on May 1 and 2 were analyzed to identify how much recyclable material could be diverted out of the park’s waste stream.

“Digging through garbage may not seem like a fun job, but learning more about our trash is an important phase of our sustainability plan to increase the recycling rate in our parks,” said Moran

Slakmon, Great Parks Sustainability Coordinator. “Our larger strategy is to reduce the amount of waste from the parks that goes to the landfi ll. This is a very important aspect of our mission to preserve and protect natural resources.”

To complete the audit, Great Parks arranged for a sorting of hundreds of pounds of waste from the Winton Woods Campground and shelters, Win-

ton Woods Harbor, Parky’s Farm, The Mill Course golf course and other locations. Coordinators analyzed multiple bags of trash from each location to ensure a large enough sample size.

By sorting the waste into diff erent streams, Great Parks will know what guests are putting into the trash in different areas of the park. Dozens of new recycling bins are scheduled to be placed throughout the park later this year, and data from this audit will be used to identify the best locations in which to place the bins.

Great Parks is performing the audit in partnership with the national Beyond 34 program and the Hamilton County Recycling and Solid Waste District. Beyond 34 is a broad, national initiative that was originally conceived to increase the current national recycling rate of 34 percent. It aims to break the cycle of discarding single-use products as waste, and instead transition to the concept of reimagining waste as a resource. Cincinnati and Hamilton County were selected as an area of focus for the Beyond 34 project in 2019.

Great Parks will perform a similar audit next winter, providing an additional season of data with which to work.

Long day in the garden? Try this simple roasted chicken recipe.

Easy baked chicken with yogurt, garlic, mayonnaise and Parmesan

Easy baked chicken with yogurt, garlic, mayonnaise and Parmesan works well for a busy summer evening.

Chicken thighs or breasts? Thighs are more moist and more “forgiving” if you overcook them a bit. Breasts are leaner, and cook faster.

Greek yogurt is best here, since it’s thicker, with more protein than regular yogurt. But if all you have is regular yogurt, go ahead with it.

RITA HEIKENFELD

Ingredients

FOR THE ENQUIRER

4 boneless, skinless, chicken thighs or breasts (I used thighs), about 2 pounds Salt and pepper to taste (I used 2 teaspoons salt and 1⁄ 2 teaspoon pepper) 1 nice teaspoon garlic powder ⁄ 3 cup each: real mayonnaise and plain Greek yogurt

1

1 cup chicken broth

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

This week has been unusually busy here on my little patch of heaven. I’ve planted two rows of cutting fl ower seeds in the vegetable garden. They’re the fi rst two rows in the garden and when all the fl owers are blooming, it’s a lovely sight. I’ll share photos when that happens.

We still have to plant some summer and winter squash, gourds, cucumbers and pumpkins. Hopefully that will be accomplished later this week.

We’re eating supper a lot later, too. These long days in the gardens make it easy for me to forget about the time. That’s why I’m inclined to use simple recipes like the one I’m sharing today.

Maybe you’ve been extra busy, too, so I hope you try and like this roasted chicken as much as we do. The recipe calls for 1 cup of chicken broth. The rest of the broth can be added to the cooking water for a side of cooked rice, which goes along nicely.

1 cup shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese Parsley for garnish (optional) Instructions Preheat oven to 375.

Spray a casserole dish large enough to hold the chicken Sprinkle both sides of chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Lay in single layer in casserole.

Whisk mayonnaise and yogurt together and spread evenly on chicken.

Sprinkle with 3⁄ 4 cup cheese.

Update on no-knead Italian bread for week of May 10 Weather does make a difference!

Remember the no-knead Italian bread recipe I shared a few weeks ago? The weather was cool and humidity was low.

Well, I made it again today when heat and humidity was high. I had to add the full 6 cups of flour that the recipe called for plus more than usual flour when rolling the bread out.

High humidity translates into requiring more flour when working with bread dough. Flour absorbs moisture from the air.

Because it was hot, the dough rose a lot faster, too.

Instead of the usual hour that it takes for the fi rst rise, the dough was ready in about 40 minutes. And the second rise took only 20 minutes, not 30!

So anyway, I just wanted to give you a heads up on that

Carefully pour broth around bottom of chicken.

Roast until internal temperature reaches 160, about 30 minutes or so. Check at about 25 minutes.

If you want chicken to be more golden brown on top, run it under broiler for a minute or so.

To serve: sprinkle with rest of cheese and parsley.

Matthew Imm scores a goal for Princeton at the 2021 Ohio Boys State Water Polo Championship, May 22. GEOFF BLANKENSHIP/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Princeton boys and Sycamore girls reach water polo state fi nals Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A pair of Cincinnati teams - Sycamore girls and the Princeton boys played for water polo state championships May 22, each drawing the defending state champions.

Sycamore fell 11-4 to Upper Arlington while Princeton hosted St. Charles, losing 20-8.

In the water for a morning state semifi nal, Sycamore’s girls turned a 3-3 halftime tie with Napoleon into a 7-6 victory and a trip to the state fi nals.

The Aviators took a 4-3 lead into the fourth quarter and scored three more ties for a 7-3 mark. Napoleon stormed back with three quick goals, but trailing by one, couldn’t get by the Sycamore defense again.

The Princeton boys, while hosting the contest, also took a semifi nal victory, giving Cincinnati schools two chances on the day to win a water polo state title.

Points to the powerhouse With water polo normally played in the fall, Upper Arlington’s 2019 championship made them the reigning champions. The Golden Bears and their 17 state championships beat the Cincinnati Mavericks 20-4 in the semifi nal to reach Sycamore in the fi nals, where they clinched title No. 18 in a 11-4 victory over the Aviators.

Upper Arlington’s Caroline Colombo started the Golden Bears off with a quick goal and a 1-0 lead, but Sycamore’s Ryan Carmody responded with a shot that arched from the mid-point of the pool and over goalie Carley Hart’s head for a goal.

Tied 1-1, Upper Arlington responded with four-straight goals, leading 5-1 after the fi rst period. Colombo opened the second period with another goal, one of seven she scored in the game.

The Aviators responded though with another Carmody goal and a score by See WATER POLO, Page 2B

On May 19, Mount Healthy High School announced the hiring of a new boys basketball coach and athletic director.

Mount Healthy named Ty Cass as its next boys basketball coach, saying in a press release that he will begin practices in July to abide by new Ohio High School Athletic Association rules on when preseason sessions can begin.

Coach Cass hopes to positively impact the boys on the team through athletics as well as in the classroom, the release said.

Cass comes from Aiken, where he spent the last 11 seasons, fi rst as an assistant for six years, the fi nal fi ve as a varsity assistant under Leon Ellison.

He was named Aiken's head coach prior to the 2016-17 season when Ellison went to Princeton.

In fi ve seasons, Cass compiled a 5962 overall record and had a 9-5 mark in the postseason. Over his last three seasons, Cass led the Falcons to a 4230 record, a district championship and a share of the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference championship in 2019.

Cass is a Mount. Healthy alum and played basketball and soccer for the Owls. He later played basketball for Miami University-Hamilton.

Mount Healthy named Diana Riemenschneider as its new athletic director.

Riemenschneider steps into the role after spending the last 20 years at the school as a staff member and former coach. The last two years, she has been the high school's assistant principal, as well as the assistant athletic director and site coordinator for four years.

In her previous 18 years, she was a junior high math teacher.

Riemenschneider's athletic background includes All-State honors in both basketball and volleyball while at Madiera. She was inducted into the

2004 Madeira High School Hall of Fame for both sports. Riemenschneider went on to play DI basketball at Cleveland State, where she earned a Bachelor's Degree in Education. She later earned her Master's Degree from American College of Education.

As a coach, Riemenschneider coached varsity volleyball for six years, earning coach of the year honors. She also coached both junior high and JV girls basketball.

"Diana is very committed to the Mount Healthy City School District's students, parents, staff and community," Mount Healthy Principal Arnez Gray said. "She has had great success as a teacher and now we look forward to her helping to advance our athletic program to higher levels.

"She is highly respected for her excellent sportsmanship and is appreciated for her high expectations and fair treatment. She is deeply committed to the mission of Mount Healthy High School, understands the role of athletics, and is focused on the continued growth of our athletic program and on the development and well-being of our studentathletes and coaches.”

Ty Cass spent the last 11 seasons at Aiken before taking the Mount Healthy boys basketball coaching job this week. TONY TRIBBLE/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Emma Baecker to cut the UA lead to 6-3.

Carmody scored one more goal near the half, cutting the lead to 8-4.

In the championship’s fi nal half, Sycamore allowed just three more goals, but couldn’t reach the back of the net themselves.

Princeton reaches fi nals as hosting school Almost like a copy and paste, Princeton reached the fi nals and faced St. Charles Preparatory, the powerhouse that won the previous two water polo state titles. The Cardinals reached the fi nals after beating St. Xavier 11-8 and walked out with a 20-8 victory and another state title.

With a loud home crowd looking on, Princeton’s Tommy Burton gave the Vikings a 1-0 lead with 5:34 left in the fi rst period. As defending champions do, the Cardinals then followed fi ve-straight goals, leading 5-1 after one period.

In the second period, 10 goals found the net, but St. Charles was still ahead 11-5. AJ White, Matthew Imm, Carson McDaniel and Edward Imm each scored a single goal for the Vikings.

Cardinals Wil Borchers and Will Elsrod dominated the second half, putting Princeton down for good. Borchers had three goals in period three while Elsrod fi ve second-half goals, four in the fi nal period. St. Charles goalie Chase Bateman allowed just three goals in the fi nal half.

Princeton goalie and state goalie of the year Kyle McDaniel was also sharp in goal, despite the lopsided score.

“That was an awesome team he just went against,” Princeton head coach Gary Tameris said after the game. “They broke our interiors one right after another. Outside shooting we were stopping,

but inside we were having a problem with that.”

The seniors on Princeton’s squad had reached the state semifi nals in each of their four seasons and won over 30

games in 2021.

Both Sycamore and Princeton will look to have a quicker turnover than normal between state tournaments, potentially returning in the fall as water polo moves to its normal season slot.

Fancy a tea party?

Here’s where you can host one in Cincinnati Charles Infosino Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

“Why yes. I’m very fond of tea,” Alice said to the Mad Hatter in the movie “Alice in Wonderland.” Alice was not unusual for her peer group. Many children enjoy tea parties, and Cincinnati has several venues that off er them.

They all take precautions against COVID-19, so you can drink your tea carefree.

Mrs. Teapots 339 Fairfi eld Ave., Bellevue; facebook.com/ Mrs-Teapots-Tea-Room146435185673.

The venue is an English-inspired tearoom that specializes in afternoon tea. The tea parties are called “Afternoon Adult High Tea,” which comes with four courses and tea.

The cost, which includes tax and gratuity, is $35 per adult and $24.11 per child age 10 and under.

The fi rst course is quiche and salad; the second course is scones, bread and fresh fruit; the third course is assorted fi nger sandwiches; and the fourth course is dessert featuring an assortment of homemade pastries. They have 25 diff erent varieties of tea, which cost $4 for a small cup and $5 for a large cup.

To combat COVID-19, they are operating at 50% capacity and are sanitizing. They are open Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. They are open on Sunday for private parties only.

Princess Grace Events Customer provides venue; princessgrace events.com.

This company employs entertainers, most who dress as princesses, to host parties. Their characters include: Ice Queen (who looks like Elsa), Island Princess (who looks like Moana), Snow White, Sleeping Princess (who looks like Sleeping Beauty), Ice Sister (who looks like Anna), Ice Harvester (who looks like Kristoff ), Arabian Princess (who looks like Jasmine), Cinderella, Charming Prince (who looks like his name should be inverted), Rapunzel, Beastly Friend

(who looks like the Beast), Godmother (who looks like the word “Fairy” should precede her name), Fashion Friend (who looks like Barbie) and Celestia – Unicorn Princess.

They host tea parties, birthday parties and other gatherings. If you hire them for a tea party, you will have to provide the venue, tea, food and party supplies. Princess Grace Events provides the entertainment. They perform at parties with several guests and sometime are hired to entertain just one child. Their performers sometimes share tea etiquette or “royal manners” with the children as they sip tea. An hour-long party costs $175 for one character and $110 per each additional character. These rates come with a story time, rhinestone tiara for the guest of honor, “BuildA-Buddy” plush craft and teatime.

With COVID-19, the princesses have taken precautions. They wear masks when asked to and give fewer hugs and blow more kisses than before.

They limit the number of children at a party to 10.

The performers sanitize before, during and after each event.

“Our princesses love to sing, and we especially love it when kiddos join in!

Most of our performers have backgrounds in music and acting, so they’re comfortable singing with their little fans,” owner Danielle Watters said.

The BonBonerie Bakery & Cafe 2030 Madison Road, Evanston; bonbonerie.com.

The cafe has a tearoom and off ers tea parties.

They off er over 15 diff erent types of specialty blended teas, including black teas,

Oolong tea, white tea, green tea and Tisanes – which are herbal teas. The BonBonerie off ers Afternoon Teas, which are private tea parties, for $28 per adult and $20 per child – tax and gratuity included. There is no minimum number of guests.

Reservations for private parties need to be made at least 24 hours in advance.

Tea parties can begin any time between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

Each Afternoon Tea comes with a pot of tea and three tiered stands.

The fi rst tier comes with an assortment of fi nger sandwiches: cucumber and fresh Boursin cheese sandwiches, veggie cream cheese with crisp bell peppers on multi grain sandwiches and egg salad on homemade buttery dill biscuit sandwiches. The middle tier serves dessert: buttery tea cookies, French macarons and petite double fudge brownies from their bakery. The fi nal tier presents mini scones, slices of specialty French quiche, thick slices of fruit bread and fresh seasonal berries. Their children’s tea is served with turkey and colby, and peanut butter and jelly fi nger sandwiches. There is also a sweets plate, which off ers a handmade cutout cookie, a brownie and a buttery tea cookie.

To combat COVID-19, they have removed tables to accommodate spacing requirements and they are operating at limited capacity. They are stringent in cleaning and sanitize surfaces frequently. Staff members are always masked. Guests are required to wear appropriate face coverings when indoors and not eating or drinking. They are open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and select hours on Sunday.

Skyline Chili voted 4th best regional fast food chain, but it’s No. 1 in our hearts steep competition from chains like Culver’s, Bojangles, Cook Out, Whataburger, In-N-Out and Sheetz.

“These 10 regional fast food joints – voted as the best in the U.S. by our readers – are so good that they really should be nationwide, but unless you’re in the area, you’ll have to travel to get them,” 10Best said.

Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The votes are in but Skyline Chili didn’t take home the top place on 10Best’s list of best regional fast food.

Skyline came in at No. 4, but it’s still No. 1 in our hearts.

The Cincinnati favorite had some

The winner of the “Best Regional Fast Food” title went to Habit Burger, based out of Santa Barbara, California.

Pal’s Sudden Service, with spots around Tennessee and Virginia, took No. 2 and Sheetz took the No 3 spot.

In 10Best polls, nominees are chosen by editors and winners are chosen by popular vote.

Skyline Chili's 3-way, still No. 1 in our hearts. MEG VOGEL/THE ENQUIRER
