Rose Lavelle: I stand with the black community in this ﬁ ght Pat Brennan Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Owen, who graduated this week from Roger Bacon High School, spoke matter-of-factly about the parent-imparted rules he’s heard repeatedly about staying out of danger while being African American. “I think it’s important, because they want to make sure kids know how to keep themselves safe from an early age,” he said. “It’s heartbreaking,” his mother said. “And it’s a fact of life.” “To have him learn that being a young black man could be detrimental to his life,” she said, “that’s a hard conversation. “But it has to happen.” “The talk,” as several parents here referred to it, is actually a lot of conversations these Cincinnati parents have with their kids, all starting when their children were little. “We started talking to the boys about race when my oldest son was in kindergarten,” said Robyn Mahaﬀ ey, who with her husband, Jamie Mahaffey, of Colerain Township, is a teacher in Cincinnati Public Schools. That’s when their son Evan came home and

Rose Lavelle, the United States Women’s National Team soccer star and Cincinnati product, stepped into the arena of the current discourse in America around racism and the death of George Floyd. As Lavelle conceded in a message posted to Twitter on May 31, her Lavelle social commentary was a departure from the typically lighthearted tone of her social media presence. “I’ve never been one to be outspoken on social media,” Lavelle wrote in the message she posted to her @roselavelle account. “I’ve chosen to keep it lighthearted and fun. So, to start, I want to acknowledge that my white privilege has allowed me to use my platform in a lighthearted manner without confronting larger issues. “I realize my silence has not contributed to addressing these issues and, therefore, I am part of the problem of racism and inequality. Because, to spark change, we need everyone to do their part, speak up, and demand better. I was not doing my part and I must own up to that. “With that being said, what has been transpiring in this country is heartbreaking. I’ve struggled to fi nd the right words to say and I know I will never experience the fear and pain of being a black person in America, but I’ve seen the injustice and reason for this fear and stand with the black community in this fi ght. We need voices, we need action and we need change. This is just a starting point, but I am committed to helping, listening, and continuing to learn so we can make this country a place where those that have been systematically oppressed can truly walk free. #BlackLivesMatter #JusticeforGeorgeFloyd.” The decision by Lavelle, the former Mount Notre Dame and Cincinnati United Premier standout, to enter into conversation on hot-button issues is a signifi cant step. Her “USWNT” teammates have feuded on social media with President Donald J. Trump in the past. Others have stepped forward as outspoken leaders on the subject of gender and

Fires will die out. Flash-bangs will stop. Stinging eyes and throats and the compulsion to gag and cough from pepper spray or tear gas will subside. The protests following the death of a 46-year-old African American man in the hands of Minneapolis police will end. The fear among parents for their African American children’s lives will not. “Unfortunately, I don’t believe that George Floyd will be the last one,” said Andi Johnson of Paddock Hills, the mother of a 17-year-old boy. And so the lessons that parents of African American children teach their kids about how to stay safe in America when they leave home will remain. Some Cincinnati-area parents recently talked to The Enquirer about what those potentially life-saving lessons look like in their homes. Their kids, ages 9 to 22, talked about what they’ve learned. “They might think you’re a criminal because you wear a hoodie,” said Caiden Stenson, 9, of Colerain Township. “I don’t get that.”

“If you get pulled over, make sure you’re showing your hands,” said Johnson’s son, Owen Smith. From when he was younger: “Don’t play with stuﬀ that could look like a weapon.”

Fire put out at Grippo’s barbecue chip plant Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Firefi ghters responded to an early morning fi re Thursday inside the Grippo’s barbecue chip plant in Colerain Township. No injuries were reported, according to a release from Colerain Township Fire and EMS. Colerain Avenue was shut down for about two hours so fi refi ghters could stretch hose lines across all six lanes of the road to fi ght the fi re. An automatic sprinkler alarm at 4:11 a.m. set fi refi ghters in motion via dispatch, according to the release. The fi re is out, but fi re offi cials and Grippo’s managers remain on the scene. Heavy smoke was seen at the rear of the brick building when the fi rst Colerain fi re engine arrived at the scene at

6750 Colerain Ave., according to the release. Firefi ghters began an interior attack of the fi re to contain it. More fi refi ghters arrived to help put out the fi re, check for any potential spread, and to clear the building of smoke. It was unclear what started the fi re when this article was originally published. The department’s fi re investigators continued to investigate. There was no loss estimate at that time. Any industrial fi re in Colerain Township results in a fi rst alarm of fi ve fi re engines with a fi re engine from departments in Green Township and a ladder truck from North College Hill, according to the release.

asked if it was all right for a “brown person” to love a white person, she said. Since then, Robyn Mahaff ey said, “It has been kind of embedded in daily life.” They have two boys, Eric, 13, and Evan, 16, and a daughter, Danielle, 19. The parents invariably said the discussions about race and safety are underpinned with love, character-building and self-esteem. Most parents hope to convey the key qualities to their children, but for these families, there is a poignant awareness: That their children are likely to be confronted by some people who do not like them simply because of their skin color, their parents said. “We knew they were going to encounter, somewhere along the line, someone who’d try to tear them down,” Mahaff ey said. Danielle said that the “self-worth” lessons have served her well. As a big sister, she has also provided wisdom to Evan that she learned as a student at the University of Tennessee. Danielle tells him, she said, to keep insurance verifi cation and vehicle registration in the driver’s-side visor when he’s driving. That way he won’t have to fumble around in a glove box or pocket for them if a police offi cer stops the car. “A lot of my friends in college, we have conversations like that,” she said. Talk about safety in the face of authority happens with girls just as it does with boys, said Marcus Richardson, an engineering executive living

pay inequality, among other things. In an exclusive interview with The Enquirer last summer during Lavelle’s post-Women’s World Cup visit to Greater Cincinnati, Lavelle seemed to indicate she was still observing her teammates navigate hotbutton issues. “I’m kind of more of like a low-key, chill person,” Lavelle said, “but I also, I know that I do kind of have a special position and not everyone has this platform to be an advocate. (Megan Rapinoe) is such an incredible example of that. She’s so unapologetically herself and so unwavering. No matter how many times people try to knock her down, she still stands tall and is so fearless in every pursuit and I really looked up to that. “I think I learned so much from her oﬀ the ﬁ eld because of that and, I don’t know, hopefully, I

in Mason. He and his wife, Deirdra, have two, daughters Reaghan, 10, and Ryann, 17. “I think we’ve all had ‘the talk’ with our kids about the injustices or the way someone may not see you as equal.” But Richardson, too, emphasized the importance of character-building. “I’ve always tried to make sure my girls ... know they are beautiful young women, they are intelligent. They are somebody,” he said. When Ryann was learning to drive, her father said, “We had the talk about staying safe if a police oﬃ cer pulls her over. “There’s always the subject of respect. At no point in time should you feel like you can say, ‘What are you stopping me for?’” Richardson told

her. “Ask permission to get your license and registration. Make sure you know exactly where it is. Keep both hands on the steering wheel.” Palms facing out, she added. Ryann Ryann, Richardson who will enter Miami University in the fall, oﬀ ered a litany of lessons she learned from her dad, including this one: “Before reaching for my license or registration, I need to say, ‘Mr. or Mrs. Oﬃ cer, I just want to let you know that I have nothing in my car that will hurt or harm you or me in any way.’” But the overriding takeaway, Ryann said, is this: “My immediate mind-

can maybe grow into someone like that.” The growth was evident in the post, which was shared more than 1,400 times on Twitter and “liked” more than 12,000 times – when this article was originally published. Few topics in American life at the moment –

perhaps not even the coronavirus pandemic – are as prominent as that of Floyd’s death in Minneapolis and police treatment of the black community. In Cincinnati, protests in support of Floyd have been ongoing since May 29. Hundreds have been arrested.

set and priority as soon as I’m pulled over is to leave peacefully and get home alive to be with my family.” It was the primary if heartbreaking goal that seven families expressed: “We want you to come home,” Darin Hall of Hyde Park said he tells his children. “Your job is to come home in one piece,” Tracey Stenson tells Caiden. Discussions that any family might have about the deaths of African American people while in police custody or while being pursued by an authority fi gure – stories like Floyd’s death – may hit their children hard, these parents said. The situation with Floyd off ered a new perspective for some: It is not only young black men targeted by some police offi cers. (In fact, many of those killed by police offi cers in the past – Eric Garner, Walter Scott, Philando Castile and others – were older than 25.) Hall, who has two daughters, 15 and 19, called Floyd’s death “a 360-degree assault,” and said now, his children know that someone their dad’s age could be at risk if stopped by police. Between Floyd’s death, the deaths of unarmed Breonna Taylor of Louisville, shot by police during a search-warrant raid, and the death of unarmed Ahmaud Arbery, 25, while jogging in Glynn County, Georgia, the subsequent protests, the coronavirus pandemic and other issues, Hall said, some people are at an emotional breaking point. And some dads noted that no matter what black parents tell their kids and

no matter how hard black people try not to resist racist cops, they can still lose their lives. Floyd complied with everything the cops asked him to do. Hall said he saw overwhelming sadness in his oldest daughter, Grace, 19, that Sunday. “She came down crying,” he said. “She said, ‘It just seems like people hate us so much.’” The kids, of course, go on. Evan Mahaﬀ ey, a Moeller High School student, said he tries to be optimistic. “It’s part of life, and I just try to look at the positive and try to see the good in things and know my boundaries,” he said. Faith is also a big part of a lot of these Cincinnati-area families’ lives. And it is a way to help teach their children to love all people, to respect all people, and to know that it is the few, not the many, who put their lives at risk because of their skin color. Robyn and Jamie Mahaﬀ ey said that faith is a big part of their family’s life – and other parents agreed. “Our kids have to be cultured. They have to re-

spect all cultures. They respect everybody,” said Jamie Mahaff ey. Still, racially motivated killings are nothing new to these kids, despite the latest onslaught. Many of the kids know of Trayvon Martin, 17, who was walking home from a convenience store in Sanford, Florida, in February 2012 when he was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch coordinator. Martin had been wearing a hooded sweatshirt. George Zimmerman, the man who shot him, was acquitted of all charges. They know about Tamir Rice, 12, who was playing with a toy pistol in a Cleveland park when he was shot and killed by a police offi cer in November 2014. “We don’t have water guns,” said Stenson. “We don’t play with guns.” The fact that little boys have to curb their play is a small sacrifi ce, a small nod to what is a reality for one group of Americans but not the other. The larger question is best framed by 13-yearold Eric Mahaff ey. “I think about why. Why is it happening?”

Like a mini Blink This mobile light show might come to your neighborhood soon David Lyman

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Doug Borntrager calls it “a crazy experiment.” Maybe. It’s true that Borntrager had no idea exactly how this quixotic eff ort to bring people together – “Projection Connections,” it’s called – would turn out. It started out as a mobile light-and-sound show, with Borntrager strapping a commercialgrade projector on the top of his Honda Pilot, putBorntrager ting a couple of speakers in the windows, then meandering around the sidestreets of whatever Cincinnati neighborhood was interested in seeing what he had to off er. He started in his own neighborhood, Northside, in early May. After a couple of glitch-fi lled dress rehearsals, he fi nally made a clean run through the neighborhood on May 12. “Success” hardly begins to describe it. “You’re a treasure, dude,” wrote a follower of “Projection Connections” on Facebook. ”It was fun to feel the buzz in the neighborhood,” wrote another. In fact, that’s probably the most rewarding aspect of the entire undertaking; the sense of camaraderie that it has brought to every little street corner where Borntrager stops. In more normal times, you could fi nd Borntrager at the Know Theatre of Cincinnati, where he is the resident sound and video designer. He’s the guy whose soundscapes add so much dramatic and atmospheric impact to productions. But when the pandemic and closure of theaters came about, Borntrager was eff ectively unemployed. No shows, no work. But as we all know too well, these are not normal times. Then he saw a post from the Haile Foundation’s Eric Avner. “Basically, he said they were looking to fund some things to keep us connected during these times,” recalls Borntrager. “He said ‘I want your ideas, no matter how crazy.' ”

That’s precisely the sort of call-toaction that Borntrager is drawn to. Remember, he’s the guy who is often charged with making the audio and projection fantasies of ever-quirky Fringe Festival participants come true. Now, it was time for his own project. “I had no idea if this would even be possible,” said Borntrager. “Or if it would look cool.” After getting additional support from the Know Theatre and Wave Pool Gallery, he began recruiting collaborators; theater projection artists, musicians, visual artists working in digital art. Soon, he was inundated with work, some from local artists, others from as far away as Germany. But he kept fretting about one other aspect of the show. Unlike Blink or Lumenocity, the lavish, multi-million dollar programs that illuminated downtown buildings with fanciful lighting displays, Borntrager would be moving from street to street, projecting onto dozens of diﬀ erent buildings, each with its own surface and architectural quirks. Turns out, he needn’t have worried. True, some of the surfaces aren’t ideal. But mostly, the diﬀ erent surfaces have given the visual displays a textural variety he never foresaw. (To see what it looks like, take a look at Borntrager’s short video at vimeo.com/413729184) Claire and Michael Besl were alerted to Borntrager’s show by friends who had read about it online. “This thing is coming,” the neighbor texted. “I don’t know what it is.” But it was enough for the Besls, parents of a one-year-old who were feeling deeply weary of a life in quarantine in their Westwood home. “It was cool to see how many people came out,” says Claire Besl. “Some were on walks, because it was a nice evening. But you could tell that other people came out just to see this.” Claire, a math teacher at Clark Montessori High School, was so enthusiastic about the whole thing that, at one point, she stepped in front of the projections

and started dancing. For a moment, it was like one of those legendary rock ’n’ roll light shows from the 1970s. The crowds weren’t gigantic. But as Borntrager rolled through Westwood on a rececnt Friday night, there were people waiting in dozens of locations; on street corners and sidestreets, even in tiny back alleys ﬁ lled with nothing but garages. And wherever Borntrager saw people waiting – anywhere from 10 to 20, usually – he would stop for a few minutes. In some ways, Borntrager’s greatest triumph is less about art and more about the camaraderie “Projection Connections” has generated. After weeks of

being on our own, this modern-day troubadour has coaxed us back out on the streets. Not for long. And not in such vast numbers that we are in danger of sharing the dreaded virus. But Borntrager and his mini-roadshow have given us, if just for a moment, a sense of normal life again, a sense of sharing and community. The schedule of “Projection Connections” changes regularly. Recently – depending on weather – Borntrager planned to visit Walnut Hills, Clifton and College Hill. Later, he hopes to move into Norwood, Wyoming and Madisonville.

Greek beef kebabs with arugula salad. RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

For Father’s Day: Greek beef kebabs with arugula salad Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Every year, I have the same goal: to plant fewer vegetables so I don’t get overwhelmed during harvest. Obviously, by the photo here of grandsons Will and Jack putting in tomato stakes, that goal won’t be reached this year either. Along with over a dozen tomatoes, we’re planting several kinds of peppers, a trellis of cucumbers, 2 kinds of squash and my usual long row of ﬂ owers. Corn, pumpkins and gourds are already planted near the berry bushes. But you know what? It’s all good. Plenty of produce

to preserve, and, as importantly, to share with those who may still be sheltering in place, not venturing out as much as they’d like. The calendar tells me Father’s Day is on the horizon. Is dad in the mood for kebabs? How about Greek beef kebabs? No long marinating time needed. Assemble and marinate 30 minutes to several hours. Use part of the marinade for dressing a simple arugula salad. For dessert, grilled pineapple slices with brown sugar/cinnamon glaze. Top with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. Watch dad smile. And to all our dads a happy, meaningful day! Tip: elevate canned cream cheese frosting Robyn Herzfeld, an Amelia reader, and aunt to neighbors Josh and Erin, adds about 1⁄ 3 of block of cream cheese and a couple heaping tablespoons cherry preserves to the frosting. “So delicious,” Erin said.

Set aside 2-3 tablespoons marinade for salad dressing. Toss meat with remaining marinade. Marinate anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours in refrigerator. Skewer meat onto skewers. Grill skewers over hot ﬁ re until lightly charred and done to your liking. Flank steak will be done in less time than chunks. Meanwhile make salad. Instructions – salad Toss salad ingredients with marinade that you set aside. Serve salad alongside kebabs with cheese, and grilled pita, if you like. Yield: Serves 4 or so. Tip: Arugula is a “cut and come again” salad green. Grilled brown sugar cinnamon pineapple slices Just stir 1 cup brown sugar and melted butter together. Add a tablespoon cinnamon. Brush pineapple on both sides. Grill, brushing with extra marinade.

COMMUNITY NEWS Food access in ‘The Valley’ LaVerne Mitchell and Carmen Daniels saw a vision ten years ago, to bring food, safety and wellness to all in the community they love. The Valley is short for Mill Creek Valley. The Mill Creek runs north to south near I-75 from Liberty Township in Butler County to the Ohio River. The area surrounding the Mill Creek near Lincoln Heights (LH), Evendale, Sharonville, Reading, Woodlawn and Lockland is known locally as “The Valley.” Valley Pantry – The Past In 2009, the Hamilton County Public Health Department brought a pilot program called WeTHRIVE! to Lincoln Heights, Lockland and Woodlawn. This eff ort led to the creation of food gardens on municipal and faithbased community land. WeTHRIVE! inspired community self care and volunteer activism. While LaVerne was mayor of Lincoln Heights, a collaboration between the Village of Lincoln Heights, St. Simon’s Episcopal Church, the Community Action Agency (CAA) and the Freestore Foodbank led to the fi rst mobile pantry in the community; this eventually grew to include Carmen and “Lincoln Heights Valley Boosters” a non-profi t 501(c)3. The Valley Boosters originally focused on youth sports. Then in 2010, a program manager from the Freestore Foodbank brought a “Mobile” Pantry idea to LaVerne. This pantry was being done at Allen Temple AME Church in Jordan’s Crossing on the border of Bond Hill and Roselawn. LaVerne and Carmen visited, observed and learned from this model. During the same year, LaVerne (with the assistance of Carmen and the Lincoln Heights Valley Boosters) launched the Mayor’s Citizen’s Empowerment Series which included a program called “Safety in the Valley” via a child centered initiative with Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Car seat safety process checks, free car seat distribution and safe sleep events were held. A Prescription Rx education program emerged and helped “child proof ” homes. The once a month program thus grew to 2x and sometime 3x per month. The multi-organization collaboration grew to include: ❚ Food Pantry + Car

Seat Safety + Rx Safety + Faith Community + Voter Registration The reality of being a food desert provided the motivation for program emphasis on food, the growth toward and maturing of the “Valley Pantry” concept. Valley Pantry – The Present The whole world comes together at a Valley Pantry. The Valley Pantry operates about 10 times per year on Saturday mornings in the late spring, summer and early autumn months. Between 150 – 200 families receive food each time a Valley Pantry day is held. An army of volunteers led by LaVerne and Carmen, with support from LH Valley Boosters, the Valley faith community, The HealthCare Connection and the Cincinnati Freestore Foodbank make it happen. Volunteers at The HealthCare Connection provide translation of English language forms to French and Spanish. Youth at Mt. Zion helped make T-shirt bags to reduce the reliance on plastic bags by guests. Intelligent Minds (formerly Nurturing P.I.E.S.) donates money each month to help buy meat,

cheeses, beverages and feminine hygiene products for Valley Pantry guests. A recent grant from the Freestore Foodbank provided new tables, chairs, tents, a laptop and wiﬁ hotspot to help modernize the Valley Pantry operation. The host location rotates and participants in 2019 were St. Simon of Cyrene Episcopal, St. Monica Recreation Center, New Day Baptist, Friendship Missionary Baptist, Mt. Zion Baptist Woodlawn, Lincoln Heights Missionary Baptist and Lincoln Heights HealthCare Connection Center. Additional community support included volunteers and resources from Ebenezer Second Baptist, Spirit of Christ, Mt Pleasant, and Mt. Moriah. The host church is expected to provide volunteers, but people come from all over to help. You ﬁ nd fun and laughs as neighbor comes together with neighbor to help and share. Nothing goes to waste. As the Pantry ends people are encouraged to take what is left home to share with those in need who might not have been able to attend on a given Saturday morning.

Tamar’s Center serves as ‘lifeline’ to those in need during pandemic Most folks realize the importance of frequently washing their hands to help prevent the spread of disease, especially as a precaution against COVID-19. However, what happens when you don’t have access to clean water or soap? “People who are experiencing homelessness are very vulnerable to this pandemic. There is almost no place where they can wash their hands or use the toilets and they don’t have the means to buy hand sanitizers or wipes,” explains Elaine Ward, executive director of Franciscan Ministries, a local non-proﬁ t with the mission of helping the homeless and those living in poverty. With collaboration from the City of Cincinnati, Franciscan Ministries’ program - Tamar’s Center - continues to be a lifeline for those who are

Revealed Holiness Church of God hosted separate Saturday Valley Pantry days in 2019 as well. Additionally, Lincoln Heights Outreach Inc (LHOI) provides a weekly food pantry at its facility on Wayne Ave in Lincoln Heights year round. Valley Pantry - The Future A 2020 / 2021 planning session was held pre-coronavirus. Many ideas emerged to help maintain, sustain and potentially grow Valley Pantry. Ideas included: ❚ Cooking classes from La Soupe – Cincinnati Gives a Crock ❚ “Glean and Share” at farms to include farm fresh blueberries, blackberries, peppers, corn and more at the Valley Pantry ❚ Engage Youth programs in the Princeton School District and St. Monica’s Support the Valley Pantry by reaching out to LaVerne Mitchell – lavernem50@gmail.com or Carmen Daniels – udanicm@yahoo.com.

living on the streets. Tamar’s worked with the Greater Cincinnati Water Works to install an outside hand-washing station, making this necessity more convenient for those in need. “While the lockdown caused us to serve in new ways, we continue to live out our mission of assisting some of the most vulnerable populations – those who are living on the street, who suff er from addiction or who are traffi cked for sex or are at risk of being traffi cked,” explains Estelle McNair, director of Tamar’s Center. The center, which is a day shelter and an entry point for help, was temporarily closed due to the pandemic. However, clients came daily to Tamar’s Center to get a bag of food and supplies. “The pandemic has caused added hardship for many of our clients,” states McNair. “We have seen increases in the physical risk our clients are facing. Many women are being raped or assaulted, so we assist them with obtaining medical care or trying to fi nd safe housing.” To facilitate telehealth and mental health assistance, Tamar’s Center staff is also creating a private area with computer and Internet so clients can more easily access medical and mental health providers. McNair adds, “For many of those we serve just knowing that they have a place where they can contact their doctor or counselor helps alleviate much stress. Again, this is a new and diff erent service

Staying a connected and healthy community. We are committed to doing whatever is necessary to ensure the essential needs of our residents continue to be met. Thank you for your patience as we continue to work through what we deem is necessary to protect those living and working in our communities.

Rotary says ‘thank you’ The Rotary Club of Cincinnati is saying thank you with yards of cotton and elastic as Rotary members make more than 1,100 masks for YMCA pandemic childcare staﬀ members, restaurant workers who partnered with Rotary to support families in the centers, and for Rotary Club members. The mask project is the latest Rotary response to Greater Cincinnati’s COVID-19 health crisis. “Dr. Amy Acton, the Ohio Department of Health director, has said we could be looking at a year of wearing masks to battle COVID-19,” said Linda Muth, executive director of the Rotary Club of Cincinnati.

Making masks a mother/daughter project are, from left, Angie Fischer of Wyoming, Gail Fischer of Ryland Heights, Ky., and Ali Hubbard of Pleasant Ridge. PROVIDED

“We thought we could be proactive and productive while we’re sheltering in place,” said Muth, of Anderson Township. The masks, made from fabric imprinted with the Rotary Club of Cincinnati logo, are being distributed as ThankYou gifts for staﬀ at the eight YMCA pandemic childcare centers in Hamilton County, to workers at the more than 30 restaurants that provided dinners for essential workers’ families who used those centers in April and May, and to Rotary members. Rotary Membership Director DeAnn Fleming of Anderson Township is managing the project. “I grew up sewing,” said Fleming. “This is very personal way to say ‘Thank You.’” She said the masks are very much a Rotary family project. More than 15 Rotarians or their family members volunteered to sew the masks. Gail Fischer, an accomplished quilter whose husband and daughters are Rotarians, worked with Decal Impressions printing company to have the fabric printed with the Rotary logo. Fischer, of Ryland Heights, Ky., enlisted her family to cut the mask shapes. Fleming distributed the mask materials and directions. The mask project is funded by the Rotary Foundation, which is the philanthropic arm of the Rotary Club of Cincinnati. The Rotary Foundation also created and funded the Community Heroes Family Dinner Project to provide family dinners for essential workers with chil-

dren at the YMCA pandemic child care centers. The Rotary Foundation bought meals from local restaurants and families could pick up their evening meal when they picked up their children. The more than $128,000 project provided steady business for the restaurants while making lives easier for medical workers and other essential workers during the health crisis shutdown. The YMCA and restaurant workers who were part of the Community Heroes Family Dinner Project are now sporting their Thank-You masks. “Those dinners for the Rotary made it possible for me to keep paying my employees,” said Judy Daleiden of Finneytown, owner of the Sweet Heart Café in Colerain Township. The café made more than 300 meals over the six-week program. “The Rotary helped keep us aﬂ oat,” she said. “It was a great. The kids wrote us thank-you notes. Several families asked for carryout menus. People who didn’t know about us before will be customers going forward. And the masks are great.” Besides the mask project and the Community Heroes Family dinner project, The Rotary Club donated $50,000 to St. Vincent de Paul in March to provide rent and utility assistance for families stressed during the shutdown and club members donated more than $23,000 to buy unsold Girl Scout cookies to be donated to LaSoupe, which has been providing meals for low income children during the crisis. That project supported Girl Scout troops throughout Greater Cincinnati as well as supporting the LaSoupe charity. The Rotary Club of Cincinnati is a service and networking organization made up of business and community leaders. Its mission is to provide selﬂ ess service in the community and the world, with a focus on children’s needs.

Chapter. Hopewell ladies, like all Ohio residents have been following the guidelines set by the governor and have been sheltering in place which meant we could not meet as a chapter for the present time. We welcomed the opportunity to carefully meet to look to the future by increasing membership and supporting DAR activities. Pictured are the applicants and offi cers. Three applicants, Natalie Johnson, Roberta Stagge, and Dorothy Johnson represent three generations of granddaughter, mother and daughter and who have been sheltering in place together. Other applicants (not pictured) are Susan Schaen and Nancy Upchurch. Offi cers present for the signing were Regent Jan Mauch, Registrar Diane Autore and Treasurer Melinda Yonchak. In order to apply for DAR membership, eligible ladies complete applications with supporting documentation to prove linear descent from an individual who participated in support of colonists working for freedom during the Revolutionary War. These applications are submitted to the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution where they are checked by genealogists and if all is correct, the applicant is presented to the National Board of Management to approve membership. The Registrar of each chapter manages the application process. Daughters of the American Revolution is a woman’s patriotic, non-profi t, non-political service organization with a three-pronged mission statement: to support education, patriotism and historic preservation. Hopewell Chapter is the 100th and newest Ohio chapter and is completing its charter year as of August of 2020. The chapter typically meets once a month with business meetings to plan projects and an educational program is presented. DAR is a committee based organization and Hopewell has been creating projects through committees to support the local West Chester and Mason communities as well as our nation. Interested ladies are invited to contact Regent Jan Mauch for more information at regent@hopewelldar.org. Jan Mauch, DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution)

La Salle’s DII defending champs return to practice Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

MONFORT HEIGHTS - As a smartphone is as essential to a 2020 studentathlete as gym shorts, each member of La Salle High School’s defending Division II champion football team was scanned into their oﬃ cial opening practice June 1. La Salle athletic director Brian Meyer had a laminated QR code that each player scanned with their phones, which led them to questions about new coronavirus symptoms. Once those were completed, the Lancers with their own individual water bottles were placed six feet apart on the turf at Lancer Stadium in two separate groups for their opening workout of the 2020 season. One set of Lancers got busy at 8 a.m. then were told to exit the premises and parking lot immediately. Then, the next

group came in and did the same to prevent congregating of players. The hope is, COVID-19 restrictions are eventually relaxed and fans can congregate again oﬀ of North Bend Road to see Coach Pat McLaughlin’s squad defend their title.

“Once we get to work this year, we’ll deﬁ nitely get better than we were last year.” Zach Branam

La Salle Quarterback

“It was just good to get out there and see the guys, see the players,” McLaughlin said. “They showed up on time. They were very patient throughout the process and did a great job. To get out here

and see each other and see your teammates and work out is awesome. We’ll build on it.” After winning La Salle’s fourth state championships and fi rst since 2016, there’s plenty of confi dence around Lancer land as many starters return. Defensive backs Jaylen Johnson and Devonta Smith are Ohio State-bound, with Iesa Jarmon heading to the Cincinnati Bearcats. Jaymar Mundy currently has multiple off ers after a big performance in the 2019 title game and junior Gi’Bran Payne is one of the higher-rated running backs in the state with off ers from several Division I powerhouses. Quarterback Zach Branam also returns after running for 166 yards to Payne’s 133 in last December’s championship. He made First Team Greater See LA SALLE, Page 2B

ST. BERNARD - Corey Kiner stands out on Roger Bacon’s practice fi eld or really any fi eld he chooses to grace. Already the school record-holder in rushing (5,262 yards), all-purpose yards (6,804), rushing touchdowns (81) and total touchdowns (88), the whirling dervish at running back is now a senior leader. Now a top commit for Ed Orgeron at Louisiana State University, Kiner has many followers in school and on social media. However, his timeline now includes necessary social commentary as the future Tiger, like many students across the country, won’t sit still for injustice. Kiner has spoken out, but not gone out. As a young African American with some of his hair dyed blonde and driving a red car, he worries of a profi le that might lead to harm. The recent death of George Floyd while a white Minneapolis police offi cer restrained him with a knee to his neck has raised a nationwide eyebrow. Now, in addition to being semiquarantined by new coronavirus, the youth of 2020 are having to work through unrest and protest in their own towns. Going to practice is now a welcome release. “It’s diffi cult being an African American teenager and being high profi le like me,” Kiner said. “I can’t just be angry about it and I can’t just say nothing about it. We’ve got to do better as people. As a whole, we’ve got to come together.” Notable athletes have been involved in protests in some cities. Ohio State has had several involved including recent basketball grad transfer Seth Towns. Numerous coaches have issued statements condemning the actions in Minneapolis and promising to better understand the members of their teams. See KINER, Page 2B

Carolina Panthers hire Luke Kuechly as pro scout Dave Clark Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati native and former St. Xavier High School Bombers standout Luke Kuechly accepted a position with the Carolina Panthers’ front oﬃ ce as a pro scout, the team announced Thursday. Kuechly’s role is expected to involve watching ﬁ lm, player evaluation and advance scouting. The Panthers appear to have removed from circulation Kuechly’s No. 59, which he wore throughout his eight seasons as a player for the team before announcing his retirement in January. Bill Voth gave Kuechly’s high school employer - located in Sharonville - a shoutout in his story for Panthers.com:

The last time Luke Kuechly had a job that didn’t require him to play football, it was the summer of 2008. “My family ran an auto parts company. That was my last job when I was in high school. I worked in the warehouse as a warehouse picker,” Kuechly recalled Thursday night. That’s right. Before becoming a seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker and one of the best players in Panthers’ history, Kuechly spent his summers at J&N Auto Electric in Cincinnati. But what’s a warehouse picker? “As a picker, you print out a sheet that has an order form on it,” Kuechly explained. “You go through the order form, you take everything off the shelves, drop it off at packaging, then they package it up and ship it off .”

Former St. Xavier star Luke Kuechly, has joined the Carolina Panthers’ front office as scout. Seen here from Dec 15, 2019, Panthers middle linebacker Kuechly looks back to the ref after a play against the Seattle Seahawks during the second half at Bank of America Stadium.

Wright State has dropped softball, also men’s and women’s tennis Several local players aﬀ ected by budget restructuring eﬀ ort Scott Springer and Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

FAIRBORN – On June 3, Wright State University announced that it was cutting softball, women’s tennis and men’s tennis due to budget restructuring eff orts caused by the coronavirus pandemic. “The current COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the need for all areas of the university to reduce expenditures,” the school said in a statement. “Today’s announcement is part of a plan for a $2 million reduction in the operating budget of the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. “The move aff ects 39 student-athletes and six coaches. Wright State will now have 11 sports (six women’s, fi ve men’s). In addition to the elimination of sports, several other measures will be taken to reduce athletics spending.” Several Greater Cincinnati players were aff ected with the discontinuation of softball. The Raiders current roster lists fi ve players from multiple grades who fl ourished during their prep careers in Cincinnati. From Lebanon, freshman Grace Gressly and seniors Brianna Hutchinson and Madison Hartman just played in Wright State’s abbreviated 18-game season that was halted in mid-March due to the coronavirus. All were regulars and

Hutchinson and Gressly were among the team’s hitting leaders at .405 and .383, respectively. Freshman Cameron Wesley of Lakota West was also in her fi rst year. Middletown Madison’s Rebekah Lenos was hitting .317 and freshman Olivia Bricker of Clermont Northeastern was at .300 in her fi rst games. Bricker spent most of her high school career playing baseball as her father, Mike, runs Champions Baseball Academy. She switched to softball as a senior and was enjoying her time with the Lady Raiders until the June 3 phone call. “We talked two weeks ago and everyone said for Wright State, things were looking good,” Bricker said. “I got the call today and I’ve been in tears ever since.” The Raiders were 7-11 and had just fi nished a tournament in Tempe, Arizona with their last game March 7. Games with local rival Dayton on March 13 and their home opener March 15 against Western Michigan never took place with the coronavirus cancellations. Bricker now is a unique situation as she will now have four years of eligibility (this season is wiped away by the NCAA) but she’s nearing her bachelor’s degree thanks to taking a lot of college credit classes at CNE. “Softball and baseball I’ve been doing my entire life,” Bricker said. “This news is just heartbreaking to me as I don’t know anything else. I don’t know what’s coming next.” Bricker still has plans to play this summer. Also impacted is Taylor High School’s Brooklynn Linneman. The two-time de-

fending Cincinnati Hills League player of the year helped the Yellowjackets win three straight conference championships. She committed to Wright State in October 2018. Over the past month and a half, she’s lost her senior season and the college she hoped to call home for the next four years. “I was very sad. I was excited to get to play with everyone,” Linneman said. “I was already close with them and now I won’t get to play with them. The coaches really pulled me in and they were always there for me since the beginning of the recruiting process. “Everyone has reached out to me and are helping me as much as they can to get me somewhere so I can play. We’re trying our best to stick in there.” Linneman, who was 38-11 in the circle at Taylor as well as a .496 hitter, said she has already received interest from multiple coaches as she attempts to ﬁ nd her new destination. Mount Notre Dame coach Julie Joseforsky coaches Linnemann on her Ohio Hawks Gold team and has several recruiting connections. As the Hawks were in Tennessee making their way to a Florida tournament, she put out 40 texts after receiving the news about Wright State and had received 10 phone calls. “It makes me sick that kids go through this,” Joseforsky said. “They think they know where they’re going and the rug is pulled right from underneath them through no fault of their own.” Fortunately for Linneman, Joseforsky indicated there was a fair amount of interest.

Catholic League-South in his fi rst extended season of varsity action, running for 1,394 and 14 scores and throwing for 1,676 and 21 more. “I’m defi nitely feeling confi dent in our team,” Branam said. “We’ve got a lot of guys coming back. We only had 14 seniors, even though those seniors were a big part of our team. We’re defi nitely confi dent in all of our people coming back. Once we get to work this year, we’ll defi nitely get better than we were last year.” Despite a stellar season, the 5foot-10, 201-pound Branam has not picked up some of the college off ers as other quarterbacks. Dayton is interested and he has had contact from some Ivy League schools and the service academies. “I have a little chip on my shoulder not getting recruited as much as I’d want to,” Branam said. “It just makes me work even harder to prove everyone wrong. They’ll see that this year.” La Salle was 13-2 in Branam’s fi rst year as a starter after going 10-3 in 2017

Kiner Continued from Page 1B

In uniform, any star is identiﬁ able. In a large group, Corey Kiner might just be another face in the crowd. On a website, he’s a four-star highlycoveted recruit. On a street, he could be just another person unless he were decked out in LSU garb to identify (and protect) himself. There have been protests here and protests in Baton Rouge where he’s going. Somehow, he needs to be heard. “I have to say something to show other guys,” Kiner said. “That’s what me and my father were talking about. I use my platform for change. I know not every oﬃ cer is a bad person, just like not every African American or any race is a bad person. It’s just that batch of people who do the wrong thing. Everybody has a chance to change and do the right thing.” Kiner credits some of his beliefs and restraint on Roger Bacon High School, a Catholic institution in the Franciscan tradition. The school is diverse with roughly 68% white, 27% black, 4 % biracial with the remaining Asian, Hispanic or Indian. Coach Mike Blaut has had Kiner whizzing through defenses since he was a freshman and belives sports are essential to molding young lives. “We do things with white kids, black kids, brown kids, all the kids and we succeed,” Blaut said. “We’re friends and

we get along. We need to set the example for the school and for the community as best we can as a football team. Sports is a unifying thing. It doesn’t matter

what race you are, we’ve got to do things better.” A big mentor for Kiner and many of Roger Bacon’s top athletes is former

Taylor High School's Brooklynn Linneman would have played her senior softball season in 2020. She had committed to play at Wright State University. PROVIDED/THANKS TO BRANDY LINNEMAN

The Hawks Gold/MND leader is familiar with Wright State coach Laura Matthews and says despite losing her own job, Matthews was busy trying to relocate recruits like Linneman and players on last year’s roster. “Wright State’s always gotten a lot of the top recruits from the Greater Cincinnati area,” Joseforsky said. “Coach Laura Matthews is devastated. She’s out there doing what she can to get these girls repositioned.” Another Lebanon product, incoming freshman Logan Mueller is also aﬀ ected by Wright State’s decision. The diﬃ cult part for most is the selection process often involves the coach as well as the school. With schools dropping sports, student-athletes now have to develop new relationships to replace the ones that may have been in place for years. At the Division I level, Cincinnati and Xavier (and now Wright State) do not offer softball. Dayton still has its program as does Miami University and Northern Kentucky.

and 4-5 in 2018. From 2014 through 2016, La Salle won three straight DII titles. Included on the 2020 schedule is the opener Aug. 28 at an improved Lakota West, then the traditional tough tilt with Winton Woods the following week at La Salle. Also on the menu is Kentucky champion Covington Catholic, Ohio Division III champion Trotwood-Madison and Division I runner-up Elder all at home. “I’m feeling really conﬁ dent this year,” Branam said. “I don’t think we’re going to lose any games and I think we’re going to blow a lot of teams out this year just like we did last year. Hopefully, we don’t have any slip-ups, but I don’t see anything like that happening.” McLaughlin was sporting a 2019 state championship hat June 1. In a little over six months, he wouldn’t mind an upgrade. “Right now we need to follow directions from the governor and the OHSAA and make sure we’re staying six feet apart,” McLaughlin said. “We’ll follow all of those precautions and recommendations as we’re doing. We’ve got to earn it on the ﬁ eld. Our kids know that. We’ve got to come out here every day and work hard. Nothing’s given to us. We need to earn everything.”

Spartan linebacker Solomon Tentman. Tentman had his career as a Cincinnati Bearcat ended prematurely due to injury. He then became a strength and conditioning intern at Ohio State and currently is the defensive coordinator and strength coach for Blaut at his alma mater. He’s also been where most high school athletes want to go and has the wisdom one would associate with his name. He’s hoping to be a counselor. On the ﬁ eld, he already is someone schooled in overcoming adversity. “The rioters and protesters are kind of getting jumbled up,” Tentman said. “You have to tell the kids, if you’re going to do that, be safe and be aware of your surroundings. We should always use our freedom to do the things we should, which is stand up to those who are oppressed or stand up to those who need our help. At the same time, just make sure you’re going about that in the right way.” Like Kiner, Tentman credits the Roger Bacon education for preparing students for life’s occasional valleys. He mentions one of the school’s mottos, Mens sana in corpore sano, Latin for “sound mind, sound body.” Essentially, it’s about discipline and awareness and being a decent human being. Blaut, Tentman, Kiner and most football teams were preaching that this week and it likely will continue. Particularly in this trying and twisted year. “Everything we’ve learned at this school is about change, change for the better,” Kiner said.

Paddlefest has gone virtual due to the coronavirus pandemic Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati’s annual Paddlefest on the Ohio River has gone virtual due to the coronavirus pandemic. The event was supposed to bring more than 2,000 paddlers down on a nine-mile ride down the Ohio River. Organizers cited potential health risks of large event during the COVID-19 pandemic as reasoning for the cancelled event. “There are simply too many unknowns to move forward conﬁ dently in planning Paddlefest, especially with the current mandate limiting mass gatherings,” said Miriam Wise, associate director of the nonproﬁ t Adventure Crew, which produces the event, in a press release. “Most importantly, we cannot execute a successful Paddlefest while keeping our paddlers safely dis-

tanced at the launch, take out, on bus shuttles and during on-land festivities.” Rather than gather in person, organizers encourage participants to complete the nine-mile paddle on their own. This virtual event is being called Paddle for a Purpose because all proceeds beneﬁ t Adventure Crew, an organization that provides free outdoor recreation opportunities to city teens in 24 high schools in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Anyone who wants to participate can register online now through Aug. 8. It is $25 for adults and $10 for youth 17 and under. 2021 will be the 20th year of Paddlefest. Wise said, “While we’re disappointed that we can’t host an in-person Paddlefest this year, we don’t want to disappoint the nearly 1,000 kids who participate in our adventures each year.”

Hundreds of people participated in the 18th annual Ohio River Paddlefest on August 3, 2019. MADELEINE HORDINSKI/THE ENQUIRER

Cincinnati-based app oﬀ ers free dog training during pandemic Luann Gibbs Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

As our lives are upended by the novel coronavirus pandemic, everyday interactions we took for granted have become off -limits. Chats with coworkers at the water cooler. Lunch with your sorority sisters. An ice-cold pitcher with the team after the game. Even puppy preschools have been canceled. Enter Harper, a Cincinnati-based dog training technology startup that launched earlier this year. The company off ers all-positive digital dog training via an iPhone app. The app – which has a similar ease of use to those in the nutrition, fi tness and education fi eld – helps owners train and connect with their doggos by building a habit of playing short games together each day. There's a library of 30 guided training courses, nearly 100 stimulating games, plus dog parenting resources and live chat. With private training lessons, group classes and puppy preschools across the country being canceled, the subscription-based service announced that it's off ering a 90-day free trial so more people can keep their pups learning and stimulated during social distancing due to the pandemic. "Millions of dog parents have had their lives interrupted," said Harper cofounder Nick Cramer. "We're doing

whatever we can to help them use this time eﬀ ectively to connect with their dogs from the comfort and safety of home. Whether you just got a new quarantine puppy, you're fostering while stuck at home, or you have a dog who's looking to you for stimulation, we're 100% focused right now as a company on helping you make it through social distancing and quarantines together and come out the other side even stronger." Harper also announced that it's committing to make the service 100% free for animal shelters, adoption agencies and temporary dog foster parents. For more information on the service and app, visit harper.dog. From the website: "Harper is based in Cincinnati. We’re three busy dog parents building something we desperately need for ourselves. We hope you ﬁ nd it useful too. – Brennan, Robin and Nick"

SCHOOL NEWS Technology at Winton Woods City Schools Whether students are learning at school or home, Winton Woods City Schools mission remains the same, to ensure every student reaches their highest potential. School teams have been meeting remotely and strategizing the best ways to continue providing a rich academic experience while meeting the needs of all students virtually. According to the Technology Department, as of May 5, teachers and students have had 27,916 participation connections and 10,199 total meetings through Google Meet. “Providing our students with the basic foundational technology tools plays a vital role in students’ having a successful virtual learning experience,” said Director of Technology Rhonda Hobbs. “At the beginning of the year, students in Grades 8-12 received Chromebooks, and many high school students were provided with free Wi-Fi hotspots through the grant-funded 1 Million Project through Sprint. To meet the educational needs of our younger students, the district transitioned in January to grade 7. The Director of Teaching and Learning (PK-6), Adrienne Martin, decided that the work packets would be obsolete; so she made the recommendation to distribute Chromebooks to students in Grades 2-6 since they were already familiar with the use of technology in their schools.” Our technology-rich environment is important to every aspect of student support. For example, Director of Student Services Tonya Bray said her department has plans to modify the virtual curriculum and resources to meet each student’s needs. Her teams provide interventions and unique strategies to meet their individual educational plan (IEP). “We are meeting remotely to use technology to ensure each student is receiving all the resources necessary for success.” Another example of how our district supports our students with technology is through our ESL (English as a Second Language) program. District ESL Coordinator Gary Giblin said “our goal is to create and maintain a system by which we can meet families’ and students’ language needs whatever and wherever they are.”

Each week, ELL (English Language Learners) teachers and staﬀ provide online instruction and videos that help ESL students complete their assignments. “We explain exactly how to do it, and take them through a series of steps of how to manage their work throughout the week. We translate documents and are available as interpreters for parentteacher meetings and student-teacher meetings,” said Giblin. “We make sure our students have access to curriculum and arrange meetings for our teachers to support our students. We also have a 24hour language line that provides translators and facilitates communication for our ESL families. Our building teachers have established routines where we reach out to them weekly. We have a lot of conversations with the students and parents to reassure them with what is going on in the classroom, school, and district.” Winton Woods is proud to be a district that implements technology successfully to enrich students’ academic and virtual learning experience.

Two Finneytown Secondary Campus students won state-wide awards for their artistic talents. The National PTA Reﬂ ections program recognizes students’ artistic talents by awarding students at several different levels, school, regional, state and national. Aubrey Weaver and Ava Weaver, sisters, earned state titles for their respective pieces. Aubrey, a junior, garnered the Award of Merit for her Music Composition. Ava Weaver, an 8th grader, received the Award of Merit in Photography for her piece “The Feeling Within”. We congratulate and thank them both and want them to know how proud we are of them. There is a wonderful tradition of excellence in the arts that is continually encouraged and developed at Finneytown. The district is proud to support arts education in so many ways. Students and parents alike are so grateful to have outstanding teachers who devote their time and talents in addition to providing an outstanding environment for artistic expression.
