Former MND volleyball star’s video on racism: ‘Do you hear our pain?’

Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Sean Ogletree leads Gregory Matheney through a local grocery store on Friday, June 5. Ogletree said by working with people who have blindness, he gets a different perspective. "A lot of blind people have taught me how to see in a different way because they, like, they trust you. And they're not looking at your outside" Ogletree said.

Clovernook caregiver learns to remain a constant in a time of uncertainty Sierra Newton Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Sean Ogletree has always been a natural caregiver. It’s just a part of his personality.

Entering his third year at Clovernook, a center for the blind and visually impaired, Ogletree works as a case manager and job coach for blind/visually impaired individuals.

COVID-19 has been a challenge for everyone, but he has gone out of his way to make sure that clients remain heard during this time.

“One really common saying in social work is, ‘social workers aren’t in it for the money,’” Ogletree said. “It’s wanting to make sure that people are getting what they need. One interesting challenge that has arisen in all this is — one of my clients brought this up to me — some blind people have already been socially isolated. It’s that much more challenging.”

Ogletree has made an extra eff ort to reach out to his clients so they don’t feel isolated. He shops for and with them, helping his clients remain in touch with their families and doctors. Being that constant presence in someone’s life who relies a lot on trust is important.

Chris Faust, president and CEO of Clovernook, has known Ogletree for three years. He believes the eff ects of COVID-19 brought all the work and energy of what Ogletree does to the forefront. Faust described him as key in their organization.

A lengthy car ride on a family vacation gave Louisiana State University volleyball graduate Sydney Mukes a lot of time to contemplate.

Upset over racial issues and the unrest that ensued all over the United States after the death of George Floyd while in custody of the Minneapolis police, she decided to put some thoughts together during the 15-hour drive.

As a biracial athlete who played on three state championships at Mount Notre Dame and just fi nished her career at LSU, she has experienced racism along the way. She said most of her friends have had similar experiences.

She wants change.

Somewhere on the highway May 31, she got the idea to make a video. She began scripting it out and contacting many of her friends, black, biracial and white asking for their participation.

The reception was overwhelmingly positive and by June 4, with the help of LSU video expert Giovanni Lamonte, Mukes had arranged the participation of more than 60 friends detailing their experiences and promising to work for change.

“Really, everything in that script was feelings,” Mukes said. “I was super angry and hurt and sad. I was like, ‘How can I channel all of this energy that I’m feeling into something?’”

Word on “It Takes All of Us” has spread as Mukes posted the video on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube resulting in thousands of views. She’s See MUKES, Page 2A

During a trip to the local grocery store on June 4, Sean Ogletree listens intently to his client Gregory Matheney. "He enjoys communicating with me, like I do not shut him down," Ogletree said, "If he wants to say so he can feel free that I'm going to listen to him without judgment."

“One interesting challenge that has arisen in all this is — one of my clients brought this up to me — some blind people have already been socially isolated. It’s that much more challenging.”

“Sean is a tremendous individual,” Faust said. “What he does requires, what I would call a really special person, someone that can imagine situations beyond themselves. He’s a case manager for us. He helps serve people that need additional support in their life.”

While taking care of his clients during the pandemic Ogletree is fi nishing his master’s degree in social work at Campbellsville University in Kentucky. He’s set to graduate in August.

He said it’s been a challenge, but he’s found a lot of overlap. He learns more and more about servant leadership and the importance of making sure that people have what they need.

Clovernook has been so special to Ogletree because the agency has been around for so long. The center has supported multiple generations of people.

Ogletree especially likes the braille challenge event Clovernook hosts every year. The agency brings people from all around the country living with blindness/visual impairment, allowing them to showcase their talents and learn more about diff erent roles and opportunities that they might be able to fi ll in the future.

received positive feedback from many, including those who don’t even know her.

“I was nervous to put this out or ask people in the fi rst place,” Mukes said.

“The worst they could say was ‘no.’ This project is so much bigger than myself or my fear of being told ‘no.’”

She also used her athletic connections to enlist some notable contributors both nationally and locally. From the NFL she has Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert and from the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans, there’s Moeller grad Jaxson Hayes.

“I really do like that, in the department I work, it’s more like a family sort of atmosphere,” Ogletree said. “The clients are so loving and so involved with everybody and everybody is so supportive of them that it doesn’t ever really feel like work; as much as it’s just supporting positivity in somebody’s life.”

Ogletree felt a sense of urgency during the pandemic to make sure all of his clients’ needs were provided.

“I just imagined what it would be like if someone abandoned me,” Ogletree said. “I would expect someone to be there to support me.”

curred while he was a freshman in high school when someone new in the area threatened to call the police on him.

“I’d lived in that neighborhood my whole life and they threatened to call the cops on me for walking in my own neighborhood,” Hayes said.

In addition to Hayes, other familiar names locally are University of Cincinnati/USA volleyball player Jordan Thompson, Jillian Hayes of Loveland and UC women’s basketball, the McBride family (Trey from Northwood, Miles from West Virginia and Kristen from MND), Bobby Jeff erson of St. Xavier and Dartmouth football, Jeremiah Davenport of UC basketball, Chase Wolf of St. Xavier and Wisconsin football and former MND volleyball players Sabrina (UC) and Margo Wolf (Dayton).

also makes an appearance along with several of his current Moeller teammates. He was racially profi led when he was 11 years old.

“My neighbors told me to watch their dog for the weekend,” Donovan Mukes said. “It was around 8 a.m. and I had to go take out the dog. It was fall time so it was cold. I had a jacket on and I took out the dog. I was walking home and a police car followed me. The offi cer came knocking on my door.”

The family was told there was a call that a young, black male was being suspicious, walking around the neighborhood. The Mukes family lives in a predominately white neighborhood and Donovan was saddened he was seen as dangerous due to his skin color and how we wore his jacket.

The video features other stories and numerous African Americans contributing lines written by Mukes such as, ‘Do you hear our pain?’

Mukes then defi nes the term oppression in big letters, displaying a lengthy list of victims. Former Oregon and current Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert begins leading the white contributors in the video project by saying, “I hear you and stand by you.”

That phrase is repeated as well as “I am an ally” by the numerous white friends who volunteered to be a part of the statement. It wraps by going back

and forth between black and white with the following statement: We are the next generation. We are the next teachers. We are the next business owners. We are the next physicians. We are the next prosecutors. We are the future coaches. We are the next politicians. We are the next novelists.

We are the next police offi cers. We are the next leaders of this country.

“We need everyone to stand and take a voice together,” former Moeller and current UC basketball player Jeremiah Davenport said.

Mukes then makes an appearance at the end saying she believes if they speak up for justice, changes will occur. The video credits roll as Lady Antebellum’s “Let It Be Love” plays.

Among the video’s benefi ts is it gave many of her friends a platform to voice an opinion, which they may not have otherwise publicly voiced.

“That’s another reason why it’s been so impactful and transforming,” Mukes said. “It gave them the opportunity to speak and share their testimonies. Everyone was so receptive. Not one person that I asked said ‘no.’”

Mukes majored in leadership human resource development at LSU and now plans to return to get her master’s degree. She turns 22 next month.

Cincinnati top cop on community relations: ‘We’re just not there yet’ Jason Williams and Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

It’d be hard to fi nd a law enforcement offi cer anywhere who understands police-community relations better than Cincinnati assistant police chief Paul Neudigate.

The 30-year policeman recently climbed over a barrier during a racial equality protest and took the opportunity to talk with and listen to peaceful protesters. And he quickly realized: There’s work to be done to bridge the relationship between police offi cers and a younger generation of Cincinnatians.

What protesters were saying “it hurt a little bit,” Neudigate told The Enquirer’s That’s So Cincinnati podcast, because the police department has greatly improved its relationship with the community since the 2001 riots.

“We have always said we have to work on our relationships with the community every single day,” Neudigate said. “We had thought that we were getting close. That if something bad went down, the community knew that we’re a new police department. We were much more responsive. We were much more transparent. We were much more engaging. And I think what we saw is we’re just not there yet.”

Neudigate on June 2 crossed a barrier and began having conversations with protesters, a moment captured on video. He exchanged phone numbers with some of the protesters and has remained in touch with some of them, helping to answer their questions.

He’s been a leader in helping the department improve its relationships and reputation in neighborhoods across the city. It was part of the Collaborative

Assistant Chief Paul Neudigate, speaks to protesterTashawna Bax, of the West side, while they rally June 2, 2020, at the Hamilton County Courthouse in downtown Cincinnati. Demonstrators took to the streets to protest the death of George Floyd, a black man who died on May 25, 2020, in Minneapolis after a white police officer kneeled on his neck, ignoring Floyd's pleas that he could not breathe. ALBERT CESARE / THE ENQUIRER

Agreement that came out of the 2001 unrest, and Cincinnati police have been nationally recognized for its relationships in the community.

But Neudigate acknowledged that many younger citizens don’t remember what happened 19 years ago, and some weren’t born yet. The department needs to improve its public relations eff orts, said Neudigate, who does a good job sharing news and positive stories on his Twitter feed.

“What I’m fi nding out from those conversations is a lot of the things that (protesters) want, a lot of the things that they think that we should be doing, we’re already doing,” Neudigate said.

“We’re just not doing a good enough job of making sure that the community is aware of all the diff erent pieces that we’ve got moving.”

COVID-19:

Thermal imaging heats up in wake of pandemic Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Thermal imaging cameras are hot.

So hot that Evendale-based Silco Fire & Security recently added them to the list of equipment it sells and services in response to overwhelming demand.

The cameras can detect elevated body temperatures from a distance and be used to screen for the Covid-19 respiratory illness caused by the virus.

A high reading doesn’t necessarily mean a person has COVID-19, but it could indicate a fever, which is a signature symptom of the disease.

As shopping centers and workplaces begin to reopen in Ohio after months on lockdown, Silco executives said they've been deluged with calls from companies seeking new ways to protect customers and employees from exposure to the virus.

"The interest has been widespread and diverse,’’ said Silco President Dave Fraser. "I don’t know what it’s going to turn into, but I think it has the potential to help a lot of companies.”

It also has the potential to boost revenues for the 61-year-old family-owned businesses, which mainly installs fi re prevention and security systems, including video surveillance cameras and card-access machines.

Silco, with 250 employees and offi ces in Akron, Cleveland, Columbus and Dayton, turned its attention to thermalimaging technology about a month ago and hopes to capitalize on a market that's expected to nearly double to $5 billion by 2026, according to industry analysis from Fortune Business Insights.

In recent weeks, Silco has fi elded a fl urry of requests for information from daycare centers, grocery stores, offi ce buildings, schools, hospitals, airports, concert venues, even museums, with many of those inquiries converting to orders for equipment.

The Cleveland Museum of Natural History recently tapped Silco to install a dual surveillance and thermal imaging camera that can screen the body temperatures of up to 32 people at a time from as far away as 12 feet, Fraser said.

Technicians for Silco Fire & Security test one of the biothermal body temperature cameras at Plum Creek Christian Church in Butler, Ky, on June 5.

The video camera calls out if someone isn’t wearing a mask. Someone from the church will man the laptop when services resume in July.

PHOTOS BY LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER

Chris Endres, lead technician for Silco Fire & Security, goes over the biothermal body temperature camera with Jared Perkins, executive pastor at Plum Creek Christian Church.

The video camera can take up to 30 temperatures in an instant.

The cameras, which can be mounted on a wall, a ceiling, or a tripod, zero in on the forehead or side of the face to gauge temperatures and can even detect a fever in people wearing face masks.

Silco also sells an iPad-like tablet with a camera that can measure the

body temperature of people standing directly in front of it.

The tablet is equipped with facialrecognition technology that can tell if someone is wearing a mask and can be connected to security doors and programmed to deny access to people not

wearing masks.

"The technology in these cameras is very sophisticated,'' said Fraser, who declined to release the price of the cameras and installation costs for competitive reasons.

Locally, Plum Creek Christian Church in Butler, Ky., recently had one of the dual-cameras installed to give parishioners peace of mind as the church prepares to reopen in about a month.

"We won't just use it for services on Sunday,'' said Pastor Jared Perkins. "We have a pretty big kids ministry and a daycare, and we’ll be using it fi ve days a week over in the daycare.’’

Parents, kids and parishioners with high readings will be directed to a room for further screening and counseling by volunteer medical professionals, Perkins said.

But they won’t be allowed inside the church.

Perkins acknowledged the acrimony that could result between church offi cials and people who don’t believe they’re sick or on the verge of illness.

But such screening is necessary to reassure the rest of the church's 580-fold congregation, most of whom - about 60% - are still reluctant to attend mass gatherings and have indicated "they won't be coming to church anytime soon,'' Perkins said.

“This is a totally non-invasive way to help keep people safe,’’ he said. "Our (parishioners) are overwhelmingly appreciative that we’re taking steps to protect them and taking steps to keep our community safe.’’

Silco cautions buyers that the cameras it sells are no panacea and just one of the tools that can be deployed against the spread of the virus.

Fraser acknowledged that people with certain health conditions, hot fl ashes, even people walking in from a hot car or parking lot can trigger the cameras' alarms.

But he said the cameras are not intended to diagnose COVID-19, only to fl ag those who potentially might be ill.

“We recommend that the fl agged person receive a secondary evaluation method starting with someone taking their temperature,'' Fraser said.

I n d e p e n d e n t & As s i s t e d L i v i n g

Thank you for coming together by being apart.

We know it isn’t easy. In times like these you want to be close to the people you care about most. It’s that caring spirit that has all of us coming together by being apart.

It’s the kind of sacrifice that’s making a real difference, especially for older adults like the ones that call our independent living, and assisted living communities home.

Thank you for doing your part to not only keep yourself and your family safe, but the rest of us as well.

VIEWPOINTS When police reach out, try to reach back Byron McCauley Guest Columnist Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK

The last time I saw Springdale Police Chief Thomas Wells in public, it was early Sunday morning, March 22, and his department was reeling from the death of one of its own. Promising young offi cer Kaia Grant, a person of color, suff ered catastrophic injuries after being hit by a car on Interstate 275.

Wells was visibly distraught in front of TV cameras in the wee hours, and we could feel his pain. "What I would ask you from a personal side is that this is a deep tragedy for our city and for our police offi cers and for Kaia’s family, and we would ask that the public keep all of us – I stand here representing everyone in this room as the Springdale Police – I ask you to keep us in your thoughts and prayers and please keep Kaia and her family in your thoughts and prayers."

Recently, the same Chief Wells stood at a podium outside of the church I attend in Springdale near two pastors, one black, one white, in a show of solidarity.

Joining them was Forest Park Police Chief William Arns. Offi cers from both forces were there, but they didn't have to be. They insisted on joining a walk our church held with another church, located in Forest Park.

The walk was 4.8 miles. It was 83 degrees. The sun was high. An estimated 300 people showed up. They carried signs that said "Love Like Jesus." When prayers were prayed, they were unity and healing, and preachers called by names many of those who have been lost at the hands of police offi cers all across the country. And they called on people of faith to lead in the reconciliation process. I'm for that. Our church

has relationships with both police departments, having originated in Forest Park and and now meeting in Springdale.

Our pastor talked about break-ins at both locations that few knew about. He would go there in the middle of the night to fi nd offi cers already inside with their fl ashlights, having mitigated any danger. And here they were, leading the pack, in the middle of the pack and and the end of the pack. In their cars with fl ashing lights, there teammates cleared big intersections when the walkers needed to cross. And, they stayed until the end, a total of three hours.

Cynics might call this good PR for the police – heavens knows they need it – but I don't because we are in relationship with them, and they have always had our backs. The event is long over now, and nobody ever had to know, even

Officer Kaia Grant SPRINGDALE POLICE DEPARTMENT

though local TV stations featured the walk in their evening reports.

We have eaten a steady diet of police offi cers doing really bad things to citizens: chokings, beatings, tasings, gas-

ing, and apparently at least one episode of attempting to "dominate the combat space." Such actions have prompted world-wide protests and triggered an anti-police movement. Abuse probably happens every day, and has for years, but gone unnoticed.

However ...

So does what happened June 7 with a diverse group of worshippers. It's yin and yang. The best in law enforcement get to know their communities and sometimes even embed with them. It has been uplifting to see police marching with protesters over the past weeks.

It is heartening to see protesters form a protective circle around an offi cer in Louisville who found himself alone facing a hostile crowd.

Police get to see the ugly underbelly of society everyday. And they are trained to make tough decisions that you and I don't have to make, nor do I ever want to.

This crossroads America fi nds itself at is a diffi cult one. In many ways, the fractures seem catastrophic. "Defund Police," is a popular call from some on the left. "Not gonna happen," say some on the right. Clearly, something is wrong with policing in America on a macro level. That's why we are here. Policing is going to have to change. Along the way to that change, you may get a chance to encounter folks like Chief Wells and Chief Arns and their staff s reaching out.

In these angry, hurtful, volatile times, please don't miss an opportunity to reach back.

That's where dialogue, healing and restoration can begin.

Plan includes new Ohio River bridge, streetcar expansion Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The region’s 2050 plan for transportation includes a new Brent Spence Bridge, a new Western Hills Viaduct and – perhaps a surprise to some – a continuation of Cincinnati’s streetcar across the Ohio River into Newport.

The plan – from the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments – is a federally mandated blueprint of what transportation projects the region can expect over the next 30 years. The plan is required to look forward at least 20 years, but it gets updated at least every four.

This is is not a defi ning list of what’s to come: Just because a project is on the list doesn’t mean it will ever get funding.

But these aren’t pie-inthe-sky ideas, either. The list is based on the amount of money OKI thinks will be available and projects OKI thinks would add value to the region’s transportation system.

Plus, if a project is not on the list – see: the Eastern Bypass – that means it is not eligible for federal funding (though, the list is always subject to revision).

“It’s not guaranteed.

Actually, nothing is guaranteed,” said OKI Deputy Executive Director Robert Koehler. “Even the Brent Spence Bridge, everyone agrees, that’s a great project, and we gotta do it. But how are we going to pay for it? We keep including the Brent Spence in our plan because it’s got to get done.”

Overall, the 2050 plan contains 205 projects ex-

pected to cost $8.5 billion.

That will end up being a mix of federal, state and local funding.

A few highlights:

The Brent Spence Bridge is at the top of the list.

Replacing the Brent Spence Bridge is the most expensive item in both Ohio and Kentucky, projected to cost about $1.2 billion in Ohio and $1.3 billion in Kentucky.

Just below that is a new Western Hills Viaduct, projected to cost $332.8 million.

“They’re absolutely necessary,” said OKI CEO Mark Policinski. “They’ve got to be done.”

Public transportation has major projects in the works.

Hamilton County voters just passed a $130 million a year sales tax for Cincinnati Metro, and that commitment to public transit is refl ected in the plan. There are projects to add bus-only lanes on Montgomery Road, Hamilton Avenue, Glenway Avenue, and Reading Road.

Combined, those four projects are expected to cost $590 million, a mixture of local and state/federal funding.

Bus Rapid Transit, where at least a portion of a route is in a bus-only lane, was one of the major selling points of Cincinnati Metro’s levy.

The OKI plan also calls for more alternative-fuel buses; new transit centers to serve crosstown routes, east to west across the city; and new benches and shelters throughout Metro’s territory.

Replacing the Brent Spence Bridge is the most expensive item in Ohio and Kentucky, projected to cost about $2.5 billion. SAM GREENE/THE ENQUIRER

In Northern Kentucky, the plan calls for a new $4.5 million transit station at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport to serve future route expansions.

Cyclists and walkers get some love.

The vast majority of the funding is dedicated to highways, but there is some money dedicated to bike and pedestrian projects.

That includes new or expanded trails, particularly along the Ohio River and the Great Miami River.

In Kentucky, there’s a project to complete the CVG Loop Trail along the northern border of the airport as well as several projects to continue the Licking River Greenway, a plan to build a 14-mile trail that will connect Covington, Taylor Mill, Wilder and Newport.

Will the streetcar go to Newport?

The Cincinnati Bell Connector isn’t carrying passengers right now – running empty to help stop the spread of COVID-19 – but the OKI plan calls for a $79.7 million expansion of the streetcar across the Ohio River into Newport.

Koehler, OKI’s deputy executive director, said that project is “very con-

ceptual at this point,” but an expanded streetcar could be another option for Northern Kentucky commuters and, if it got enough riders, it could help relieve congestion.

“It doesn’t mean that OKI has pledged any funding to it,” Koehler said. "It just means it’s something (a group in Newport is) interested in pursuing and it has transportation and public benefi ts.”

The streetcar expansion project was submitted by Newport Commissioner Beth Fennell, who said her main goal was just to get the project into the OKI plan so it’s eligible for federal money.

The expansion was also in OKI’s last plan, Fennell said.

“Right now, this is the placeholder,” she said, but the ultimate goal is to get the streetcar to at least connect to Newport's Ovation site, which will soon be home to a new concert venue.

The Eastern Bypass didn’t make the list.

said. One study projected the bypass would cost about $5.3 billion, more than half of the $8.5 billion pot of total money available.

The bypass has also failed to gather broad community support, with Warren County Commissioner Dave Young calling it a “red herring” and Derek Bauman, a board member for the transit advocacy group All Aboard Ohio, calling it a “giveaway to sprawl developers.”

“It’s just bad on its face, and it doesn’t even deserve study,” Bauman told The Enquirer in 2019.

'This is going to change your life' Aside from the pointby-point list of specifi c transportation projects, the 2050 plan provides a glimpse at what Greater Cincinnati might expect for the future of transportation. The gist: more electric and autonomous vehicles, fewer crashes and cleaner air.

Some of the changes will be slow, according to the plan’s predictions, but by 2050, most vehicles on the road will be electric or some technology other than the internal combustion engine widely used today. Up to 70% of vehicles will be fully autono-

mous, and as such, crash rates will be down about 75% compared to 2020.

Ridesharing will become even more common, and private car ownership will become obsolete.

Transportation and technology move quickly and change constantly, Policinski said, so in all likelihood, that vision for 2050 will be completely diff erent by the time we actually get there.

But, he said, “we need to put out there an idea of what the future could look like. I think that’s critical.

This is not just how to shorten your commute.

This is going to change your life. This is going to change society.”

Dish up some spaghetti with drop meatballs and tomato sauce Spaghetti with drop meatballs and tomato sauce My friend and chef, west side reader Giovanna Trimpe (author of “Holy Chow” and “Gluten Free Holy Chow” cookbooks) would scold me for using oregano.

“Basil only in pasta sauce!”

Giovanna says.

Ingredients 1 pound spaghetti (save 1 cup water after pasta cooks for thinning sauce) Meatballs and sauce

Couple handfuls parsley, chopped, divided

Now cook the pasta while sauce continues to cook.

⁄ 4 cup bread crumbs

When pasta is done, check sauce.

Remove bay and adjust seasonings.

1 egg 4 large cloves garlic, minced (1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon or so, divided) 1 onion, chopped small Basil and oregano – good palmful of chopped basil and a 2” sprig oregano, chopped

Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

I’ve been hungry for homemade spaghetti and meatballs. Maybe it’s because we’ve been eating a lot of lean protein and less carbs.

A pound of ground beef already thawed in the refrigerator nudged me on.

And the herbs I like in spaghetti sauce – Drop meatballs cooking (loosely formed parsley, basil and oregano, needed prun- shapes). RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER ing so that sealed the deal.

The recipe I’m sharing calls for meatballs simply scooped up and dropped in Canning homegrown tomatoes olive oil to cook. Since my time for preLast week, I mentioned grandsons paring meals gets away from me because Will and Jack helping me stake my tomaof outdoor chores this time of year, I liked toes.

By late summer, my the recipe from one by Mark Bittman to fi t hope is I’ll have an abundant harvest, what I had on hand. enough for canning!

Then scatter onion and rest of garlic, basil, oregano and bay or anchovy paste, around meatballs.

Cook until onion gets soft, stirring carefully if necessary to prevent sticking.

2 cups Romano or Parmesan, cheese divided

1 pound ground beef

Rita’s Kitchen

Use small scoop or two spoons to loosely form meatballs and carefully drop in hot oil to brown lightly on one side. Meatballs won’t be done yet.

Add tomatoes. Turn heat up a bit, cover pan, and let sauce cook until meatballs are done, about 10 minutes. Remove lid and let sauce continue to cook, stirring gently if necessary.

2 bay leaves, optional, or a squeeze of anchovy paste (also optional) 2 cans crushed, diced or whole tomatoes, crushed, 28 oz. each

Drain pasta and put back in pot.

Spoon about half the sauce, no meatballs, into pasta.

Toss and add some reserved pasta water if you like.

Place pasta in bowls, top with meatballs and as much sauce as you like (extra sauce can be frozen you don’t use it all), and sprinkle with cheese and parsley.

Tips:

Salt and pepper

Instructions

To my palate, crushed tomatoes are more saucy/ thick with stronger “tomatoey” flavor than diced or whole.

Put meat in bowl and smoosh it up.

Add 1 cup cheese, handful of parsley, crumbs, egg, 1 teaspoon garlic, salt and pepper.

Mix gently. Don’t press hard or meatballs will be dense.

SPORTS Colerain football back grinding with confi dence Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLERAIN TOWNSHIP - There’s a reason for their confi dence.

Any Colerain High School football players that grew up in the area has never seen a season where the Cardinals did not win the Greater Miami Conference.

Since 2000, it’s been sure as the sun and the moon. For further perspective, Colerain hasn’t lost a league game since the incoming seniors were in fi rst grade (Oct. 13, 2008 a 42-39 loss to Middletown).

Even last season with Tom Bolden moving on to Lakota West and Shawn Cutright in his fi rst year, there were doubters. There were even more when Bolden’s Firebirds won a scrimmage over Colerain before the season started.

All Colerain did was go out and run the table in the GMC again while going 11-2. Their only losses were in week two to St. Xavier and a Division I regional fi nal loss to Elder last Nov. 22, 28-21.

Now, 29 seniors have graduated and the Cardinals are about to reload. The GMC is full of talent, but Colerain has the proverbial “belt” the others seek.

“We are blessed with some good athletes here,” Cutright said. “We lost some tremendous players last year (Jaylen Thomas and Deshawn Pace). I think we had about 29 seniors. They’re really hard to replace.”

Pace is set to play for the University of Cincinnati, Elijah Ford at Eastern Kentucky and Jaylen Thomas was injured and missed Colerain’s regional fi nal game with Elder. However, the prospects walking from Colerain’s weight room to Cardinal Stadium remain impressive.

Winton Woods defensive end Andrew Booker competes in pass-rush drills during the Under Armour All-American Camp in Cincinnati, April 14, 2019.

TONY TRIBBLE/FOR THE ENQUIRER

“We’re looking like we might be able to put a team together that can compete this year,” Cutright said. “These guys are defi nitely working hard and we look forward to the season.”

The season won’t begin easy as the Cardinals host Huber Heights Wayne, then travel to St. Xavier Sept. 4. The one to circle on the calendar would be Sept. 11 when Tom Bolden returns to Colerain, this time as head coach of Lakota West. The teams scrimmaged last year, but this will be the fi rst offi cial meeting.

“They have some good looking kids,” Cutright said of Lakota West. “Every time I see you guys reporting on them they’ve got another guy with an off er, or somebody transferring in that has an off er. I know Tom real well. I worked for him forever, he’s a heck of a coach.”

Talented Winton Woods football hits the fi eld Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

FOREST PARK - The only Ohio team to beat defending Division II champion La Salle last season did not make the Ohio High School Athletic Association playoff s.

Since last November, that’s been spinning around the head of Winton Woods High School coach Andre Parker. Before the Warriors took the fi eld June 8 following new coronavirus precautions, Parker spent most of the night awake.

“I couldn’t sleep last night,” Parker said. “I woke up three of four times before my alarm going ‘Did I miss it? Did I miss it?’ I feel like I’m a kid again.”

The Warriors were restricted to nine games last season and fi nished 6-3. A possible 10th game fell through between Thurgood Marshall and Northwest in April 2019 and after that, no one would line up with Winton Woods.

What resulted was Winton Woods not getting the No. 8 seed because they didn’t have enough points in the OHSAA system based on JoeEitel.com.

Factoring Columbus and other northern teams into the largely Southwest Ohio-based Region 8, left Winton Woods at No. 9, just behind Little Miami, the No. 8 seed.

What Greater Cincinnati missed out on was a rematch between No. 1 seed La Salle and Winton Woods as the Warriors defeated the Lancers 26-21 in October. By early December, La Salle was crowned Division II champion with their only other loss coming to Kentucky 5A champion Covington Catholic.

Winton Woods quarterback Michale Wingfi eld is in his third year as starter for the Warriors. SCOTT SPRINGER/ THE ENQUIRER

Getting 10 games won’t be an issue this year assuming COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. The Warriors carefully followed procedure in their fi rst day back with AD David Lumpkin personally administering the temperature checks. There were two sessions and plenty of distancing and masks.

“I got a ton of phone calls from parents and kids the last two weeks like ‘When are we going to go? What’s taking so long?’” Parker said. “We wanted to make sure we did things the right way. The kids are really excited. They want to work, so it’s a blessing to be here.”

Julie Joseforsky sends local softball to higher levels Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

When college softball coaches come around Greater Cincinnati or watch a local team in a travel tournament, chances are good the school is recruiting a product of one of Julie Joseforsky’s teams.

Joseforsky is the head coach at Mount Notre Dame and coaches an 18U team for the Ohio Hawks, a fastpitch travel team, and formerly was a travel coach for the Cincy Slammers.

Coaching the softball team at Mount Notre Dame while juggling work for the Ohio Hawks wasn’t a struggle for Joseforsky. Handling two teams at once had been her problem — or her pleasure — since she started coaching in Cincinnati.

“I used to coach two teams at one time,” Joseforsky said of her time with the Slammers. “It was crazy. Then when the kids got to high school it became

very diffi cult to do so I had to go back down to one team so I’ve had a chance to coach a lot of kids.”

In just the 2020 and 2021 high school classes, Joseforsky has guided: Tori O’Brien, Mason, Ohio University com-

mit; Kayla Roddy, Oak Hills, Thiel College commit; Emma Bode, Oak Hills, University of Findlay commit; Alexis Dittmer, South Dearborn, Southern Mississippi commit; Casey Kemp, Little Miami, Wheeling University commit; Lindsay Henson, East Central, McNeese State commit; Arrington Walker, Roger Bacon, Northern Kentucky commit; Kinsey Ventura, Amelia, Robert Morris commit; Brooklynn Linneman, Taylor, Wright State commit; Sydney Carter, Mason, Butler commit; Olivia Craycraft, Milford, Washington University of St. Louis commit; Jess Kincer, East Central, Bucknell commit; Kaila Nutter, West Clermont, Case Western Reserve commit; Josie Wefer, Oak Hills, Morehead State commit. That list does not include undecided players or even Alanna Carter, a Mason graduate committed to Akron for basketball who Joseforsky coached for AAU hoops See SOFTBALL, Page 4B

see it.”

Added Parker, “I hope he has a huge chip on his shoulder. I hope it’s a chip that he manages really well. He’s played in a lot of football games and he’s a luxury to have.”

Defensively, the Warriors have plenty of weapons including a trio of defensive backs that will play college ball. Tamarion Crumpley is a Minnesota commit who led the Warriors with four intercep-

tions for 129 yards and had a pair of fumble recoveries.

“He’s one of those kids that as soon as he walks in the door, you’re excited,” Parker said. “You can tell he’s just been blessed. He had a good year last year and I think he’s going to have an unbelievable season.”

Daylan Long and Caleb Tubbs are both heading for the Miami RedHawks.

Long had 37 tackles, including 7.5 for

loss, 3.5 sacks and a pair of picks, while Tubbs had 25 takedowns, 3.5 for loss and an interception. Long is trying to come back from late-season knee surgery.

“Since I committed I’ve got a family to look forward to,” Long said of Miami.

“We (Winton Woods) have a lot of talent coming back. Our young boys have developed very well and I feel like we’re going to be scary on the fi eld.”

On the line with a multitude of off ers is Andrew “Bam” Booker, who had 50 tackles, 12.5 for loss, 6.5 blocks and two sacks. A religious young man who has participated in retreats, Booker wore a Jeremiah 29:11 t-shirt that read “trust the process” on day one.

The process has served Booker well.

“Bam” has off ers from Boston College, Iowa State, Kentucky, Cincinnati, Toledo, Temple, Pitt, Louisville, Rutgers, Maryland, Purdue, California and Minnesota as a 6-foot-3, 220-pound linebacker/defensive end.

“You’ve got to choose what you want to do,” Booker said describing the Warriors defense. “You want to run the ball on us? You’ve got me. You want to pass the ball, we’ve got Tubbs, we’ve got ‘Mamba’ (Tamarion Crumpley). You want to run we’ve got the linebackers (Daylan Long). We’re going to be scary on defense and on our off ense too.”

In addition to their ECC schedule, Winton Woods plays the defending DII (La Salle) and DIII (Trotwood-Madison) champions this season.

ways say, ‘Didn’t ya’all lose a lot of seniors?’ We always say, ‘We always have backups.’ It just keeps fl owing and fl owing. We have a lot of great athletes.”

Johnson, like many of his teammates, played in the Little Cardinals youth program and has been playing with many of his friends for years. The same goes for junior M.J. Flowers who saw time on defense and running back last season.

With 475 yards rushing and fi ve touchdowns as a sophomore, Flowers is ready to bloom as an upperclassman.

“We’ve got something to prove,” Flowers said. “We came up short last year.”

In terms of the league winning streak and maintaining status quo at Colerain, the Cards are united.

“We always come out on top,” Flowers said. “That’s nothing new. We don’t listen to the doubters. The people we’ve got, they’re going to step in just like every other year. We’re going to use our people like we use our seniors. We’re going to do what we do every year, win the GMC.” University of Cincinnati commit Dontay Corleone is set to lead the defense as a senior after 52 tackles and 8.5 sacks. Linebacker Xander Kendall was also GMC First Team with Corleone with 71 takedowns. For now, Cutright is working on getting Corleone and company in playing shape.

“He’ll be ready to go by the time the season gets here,” Cutright said. “He’s up to a size-18 shoe now. You can’t stop him from growing, which is good.”

Colerain head coach Shawn Cutright claps before the game against the St. X Bombers during the Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown on September 6, 2019. MICHAEL NOYES/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Continued from Page 1B

The Warriors are now in the Eastern Cincinnati Conference, joining Lebanon and Little Miami, which should boost the football product. Turpin, Anderson and Kings all had winning records last year and were the No. 2, No. 10 and No. 13 seeds, respectively.

Winton Woods was 3-2 against DI schools last season falling only to state runner-up Elder in a shootout and to No. 2 seed Lakewood St. Edward as standout running back Miyan Williams (Ohio State) could only play one half.

They also handily defeated Division III state champion Trotwood-Madison 36-7.

Off ensively, quarterback Mi-Chale Wingfi eld will be a third-year starter.

Winton Woods is 18-5 in his fi rst two seasons. Last year, he threw for 1,212 yards and 14 touchdowns while running for 230 yards in nine games. At 6-foot-2, he has bulked up from 170 pounds as a sophomore to about 210. He recently picked up his fi rst Division I off er from The Citadel and has been checked out by some Mid-American Conference schools.

“I feel like I’ve been the underdog a lot,” Wingfi eld said. “I think bigger off ers are going to start coming because I know what I can hold in. I’ve just got to get it out there. I think they’re starting to

Colerain Continued from Page 1B

Back leading the Colerain off ense will be senior Freddie Johnson who ran for 630 yards last year and threw for 486 in the team’s triple-option look. Colleges like Kent State, The Citadel and Findlay have talked to him and mentioned him possibly switching to defense or playing slot receiver.

Senior Tyler Prather could also be in the quarterback mix with Johnson moving around. Wherever Freddie Johnson plays, he brings the confi dence required to direct a Colerain attack.

SCHOOL NEWS Finneytown LSD honors those retiring this year from district Michael Morgan After serving with the district for 35 years, Michael Morgan is retiring this summer.

When Michael joined the Finneytown Local School District Maintenance department on Dec. 17, 1985, he brought years of experience as a Morgan certifi ed structural welder and certifi ed electrician.

During his time in Finneytown, Michael held positions as a substitute bus driver, Performing Arts Center manager and numerous technical positions for the theatre program. He was an advisor for CONNECT, a Long Range Facilities Committee member and led the Jarod’s Law implementation.

As a Finneytown resident and parent of former students, he has a vested interest in the successful operation of the school district which has been displayed through his dedication and commitment to his job responsibilities.

Michael has been recognized numerous times for his contributions to the district’s special projects, including several renovations and building projects.

Michael is a personable and congenial co-worker and always willing to lend a hand. His intimate knowledge of the electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems of the district is invaluable as he intricately knows their specifi cation and idiosyncrasies. Michael and his knowledge and dedication will be missed. We wish him a long and productive retirement!

Sue Polter Sue Polter has been a driving force and an advocate for Finneytown students for the past 20 years. She will offi cially retire at end of this school year.

When Sue Polter joined the District’s staff as an Education Assistant in 2000, she brought with her a degree in SoPolter ciology from the Ohio State University and a paralegal certifi cate from the University of Cincinnati. She also brought years of experience working with children. Sue was a teacher’s aide at Friendship Nursery School and the Yavneh Day School preschool program before coming to Finneytown. She also served as the Youth Program Director for three years at Central Parkway YMCA, working with youngsters in Over-the-Rhine, the West End and Fairview Heights.

The original position Sue was hired for at Finneytown was as a full-time assistant for a student at Whitaker Elementary who was blind. Sue took it

Softball Continued from Page 1B

Walker, a 2020 graduate of Roger Bacon and Northern Kentucky softball commit, played for Joseforsky on a 12U Slammers team.

“She was a good coach,” Walker said. “She knew a lot about the game and she defi nitely helped develop a lot of her players.”

Walker said practices under Joseforsky instilled fundamentals until the easy plays were “instinct” and developed

upon herself to learn Braille during the summer months of 2000 in order to prepare for this role. She moved with this student to Cottonwood Elementary for several years, then followed the student back to Whitaker.

Principals at both elementary schools praised Sue’s work ethic, her persistence, and her ability to develop strategies to keep her student focused on school work.

After 6 years in that assignment, Sue accepted a position at the Secondary Campus in 2006, again working with special needs students. She was able to increase her knowledge of the needs of students with disabilities.

The following year, she was asked to create the position of Testing Intervention Aide to help children with graduation tests. She tutored students and helped with OAT and OGT test preparation. In 2011-2012 the district received a grant and Sue incorporated the Fast Forward reading program into the curriculum. She tutored 21 students using the program to improve student reading skills that year.

Most recently, Sue mentored students in credit recovery and the Smart Horizons path to graduation program.

This was most rewarding for her and for the students who were able to earn credits and graduate.

Sue served as a member of the Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports team and F.A.S.P. union president during her time at Finneytown. She coordinated the WildCat WOW program that recognizes the achievement and efforts of staff on the Secondary Campus and organized the Secondary Campus staff social events, including holiday get-togethers and Final Friday treats.

During her years with Finneytown Schools, Sue tutored students as a Home Instructor and worked with Extended Care before and after school.

Sue will be missed. We will also miss her professional manner, sense of humor, and ultimate professionalism deeply. We wish her the best in retirement!

Senior distance and cross country runner Natalie Lienhart reflects upon the adversity she’s faced through Q&A HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – McAuley graduate Natalie Lienhart is looking forward to Lienhart her new normal after graduating college with a degree in Computer Information Technology.

Throughout her time as a cross country and track & fi eld athlete at Northern Kentucky University, she has made sev-

work ethic to turn raw talent into skill. Walker, who now plays travel with the Cincy Doom, set school records at Roger Bacon in home runs and batting average and may have set more if not for the canceled spring season.

Focusing on instilling fundamentals in practice after practice became Joseforsky’s calling card as a coach so much so that her practices became full of players not on her teams.

“I actually have a lot of kids that practice with me that don’t even play for me,” Joseforsky said. “A lot of times they do that

because they don’t have anywhere to go to get work in. Either their team doesn’t practice or, if they do practice, they’re not doing the stuff that gets them ready for college. At any given point in time, I’ll have anywhere from 10-to-15 and sometimes north of 20 kids that show up at my practice above and beyond my team.”

Joseforsky’s infl uence on preparing athletes for college doesn’t end at just practice and play but goes along with her knowledge of the recruiting process.

Recruiting high school athletes changed from Joseforsky’s playing days of putting together VHS tape-recruiting videos and hand-writing letters to coaches, but she manages to help recruit for bother her school and travel teams.

“The recruiting process happened during your senior year, not your sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade year,” said Joseforsky, who played softball and basketball at the University of Indianapolis. “When I started with these kids, we started the recruitment process that early because that’s what colleges wanted.”

The coach continued: “The biggest part about this is the travel ball coach’s role. When you agree to take on the position of travel coach for a

eral transitions in both her athletic and academic life.

The Cincinnati native discusses how she overcame multiple injuries, switched majors and the program’s evolution since she started competing four years ago as a Norse.

Q: What drew you to NKU, other than it being close to home?

A: When I started looking at schools, I wanted two things: to be able to run and it also have my program. Originally, I went in with Computer Forensics in mind, but that is now my minor. It also helped that I really liked the team, the coaches and the atmosphere.

Q: How did you get into Track/Cross Country?

A: In sixth grade, my twin brother decided to try track. I had to go to all of his practices and meets anyway, so I decided to join in.

I went to the distance side of track right away, which is funny because I skipped right over sprints.

In 7th grade, we then both decided to run cross country.

Q: What did your recruiting process look like?

A: My high school coach actually ran against Steve Kruse in college, so he helped me reach out to him. My mom and I talked back and forth between him and Paul Longano.

Q: Talk about the team atmosphere.

A: It’s defi nitely changed over the years; since my freshman year it has grown from a younger team to an older team. This year has become a whole new team. And I think we’ve bonded a lot more, especially between the cross country and track & fi eld athletes.

Q: How do you mentally prepare for a meet, since it’s an individual competition with a team outcome?

A: We have a routine we go through every time we have a meet. Depending on the course, we talk through it and individually tell the team our goals. For cross country, it was a big deal for us to have the cross country meet at NKU this year because we were able to actually walk through the course. For track & fi eld this past indoor season, I was just supposed to hold on to the top pack for dear life and I was able to do that. Because of that I was actually able to set a PR (personal record).

Q: What is your favorite part about competing?

A: I like the team aspect of it and getting to watch other people compete. I think being able to support my teammates is one of the best parts of this sport. We had a lot of people do really well this year and it was super exciting to see. If one person breaks a school record everyone else gets super motivated by it, especially last year in outdoor conference. I wasn’t able to compete but I was able to cheer on.

Q: What would you like tell freshmen

that will be competing at NKU? A: Value your time as an athlete and student and trust the process. You may have an off -race, meet or even season, but don’t let that discourage you. Things do come with time, you just have to wait.

We have amazing coaches at NKU that have gotten me where I am, so you have to trust them and that they know what they’re doing.

Q: What challenges have you faced as an athlete and how have you overcome them?

A: I’ve had a few diff erent injuries and I just needed to look at the bigger picture. The last one I had was a concussion for two and a half months one season. I started competing again and then they realized I hadn’t fully recovered.

The hardest part for people is trying not to rush to fast into things; a little pain could lead to bigger pain.

Q: What is your major and what do you plan on doing after graduation?

A: My major is computer information technology. After graduation I’m trying to fi gure out a few diff erent options because I’d like to teach people about technology and tell people how they can improve at it. I also might be starting a master’s program soon, just to get a little more education on this specifi c fi eld.

Before the University shut down due to the virus, I was working at the tech bar at NKU. It’s defi nitely been a slow process trying to fi nd a full-time job, but I’m just trying to be patient with companies. I mentioned my brother before; he goes to University of Cincinnati and just graduated with an Athletic Training major. We haven’t offi cially done anything to celebrate yet. There are six people in my family graduating this year, so eventually we’ll get pictures together and celebrate at a later time.

Q: How are you involved at NKU? A: I’m a SAAC representative for our team and was one of the track & fi eld captains. It gives you a whole diff erent perspective; mostly it has given me a lot of leadership experience. Basically, I’m just making sure everyone is doing well; talking with the my teammates who are injured and making sure they’re not rushing back into [competing].

Q: What do you do when you’re not competing, practicing or studying?

A: I really like to do 3D puzzles, rubiks cubes and spend a lot of time with my family. I just stayed home for spring break and so once this all started, I was able to quickly get moved back home after living on campus. We really just like to hang out, and we see our grandparents once a week.

Q: Who have been some of your biggest infl uences?

A: My parents and, of course, my brother. They helped me stay motivated and be where I want to be. I also had See SCHOOL NEWS, Page 5B

An 11U Cincy Slammers travel softball team coached by Julie Joseforsky. Players, now in the high school class of 2021 include Taylor Stemmerding, Olivia Craycraft, Megan Kiner, Sydney Carter, Reese Hampton, Ryan Kennedy, Ashley Shelton, Karlie Mathews and Jess Kincer. THANKS TO JULIE JOSEFORSKY

really high-end team, you’re not just there to coach. You’re there to get kids recruited and you have to accept that you have a part-time job after your professional job. I easily spend 20-plus hours a week, if not more than that, on softball-related things.

“Especially at the height of my kids getting recruited, I was on the phone or texting or emailing a college coach many hours of the day outside of my normal job and outside of practice time.”

By putting in the extra hours of fostering relationships with college

coaches, the travel team coaches can connect schools to players and players to schools. It was how Joseforsky sent close to 40 athletes, whether by coaching, helping practice or helping with recruiting, to the college level.Joseforsky started coaching to bolster athletes and to give back to the sport by building it from the ground up. She considers herself just one of many travel ball coaches to give back to the sport.

“I think coaching is very much a pay-it-forward responsibility,” Joseforsky said. “It’s so im-

portant to give back to the great sport and I want everyone to recognize the dedication that travel ball coaches have and the amount of work most people will never know they do behind the scenes that’s off the fi eld to support their kids in their personal growth as well as their recruiting process.”

Joseforsky will continue coaching throughout the summer for her Hawks team, spending her time rescheduling canceled tournaments while leading practices before sending another crop of players to college.

Q: Favorite memory at NKU? Athlete and overall?

A: Mostly just the meets and the cross country races. I really like to see everyone succeed and all of their hard work pay off . NKU track is just one of my favorite things, I feel like we’ve built such a community here.

Floating Litter Gitter stops trash from entering Winton Lake Great Parks of Hamilton County is assisting Mill Creek Alliance and Osprey Initiative with the installation of a new system to intercept trash from the West Fork of the Mill Creek before it enters Winton Lake.

The Litter Gitter system includes a bright orange boom stretching between banks that will funnel garbage on the water into a fl oating metal cage in the center of the creek.

“This is a simple but eff ective setup that will give us a better understanding about the kinds of trash entering Winton Lake,” said Amanda Nurre, watershed specialist for Great Parks. “After a year of documenting the garbage, we’ll have a better idea about the sources of the garbage that enters the lake, which will also help us to minimize the amount of trash in the future.”

Litter that enters Winton Lake from the Mill Creek or other tributaries damages habitat and wildlife and acts as an eyesore for people who use the park.

“We don’t know if one year from one tributary will make a noticeable dent in the amount of trash in Winton Lake, but it’s a good start,” Nurre added.

Trash will be emptied from the Litter Gitter at regular intervals, including af-

Succulents gardens in planters for sale during the College Hill Garden Walk.

ter heavy rains, when more garbage tends to enter the waterway. Eventually, the garbage from the collection station will be sorted and counted.

The Litter Gitter is being installed in collaboration with the Mill Creek Alliance and Osprey Initiative, which will also install two additional systems at other spots along Mill Creek.
