Mt. Healthy High School Athlete Back to School or Tests Positive for COVID-19 Back to Screen? Segann March Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

NWLSD giving families the option to continue online classes or in-person learning Segann March Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Many families in the Northwest Local School District are ready to send their children back to school for in-person learning, according to a recent survey. For the upcoming school year, NWLSD will oﬀ er families the opportunity to decide between sending their child back to the classroom or to continue online learning from home. The district asked parents to complete a survey to provide feedback about which options they were leaning toward. So far, nearly 60 percent of NWLSD families are opting in for in-person learning. The remaining survey responses were either undecided or preferred continuing with remote learning at the start of the year.

A Mount Healthy High School football player has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a statement released by Mt. Healthy City Schools on June 28. District oﬃ cials say the athlete last attended football conditioning on June 23. As of June 28, all athletic conditioning programs are suspended until July 13. The school district is also asking “all athletes that used the weight room between June 23 and June 26 to self-quarantine and arrange for testing.” “The health and safety of our students and staﬀ are of the highest priority, and we want to assure our stakeholders and our school community that we are taking these cases seriously,” the

Nearly 60 percent of NWLSD families are opting in for in-person learning. NWLSD Superintendent Todd Bowling said plans for the 2020-21 school year are being based on current information but could change because of new requirements from state oﬃ cials and the health department. “There are still many unknowns and circumstances are likely to change between now and when school resumes in August (and) September,” the district stated in a news release. “The district is prepared to shift completely to an online learning environment for the next school year if another region or state-wide shutdown goes into eﬀ ect.” The district initially considered a blended model for returning to school, which included a combination of face-to-face and remote learning. The model had several logistical barriers that did not meet the needs of the community. “Many families cited the need to get back to work and the struggles that their children and family had with learning remotely,” the district stated.

Masks, somehow, have become a point of contention for some Amber Hunt Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

In a grocery store in Delhi Township, in a department store in Blue Ash, at an Irish pub in Covington. The locations diff ered, but one element was the same: Masks were rare. And, while Gov. Mike DeWine stopped short of mandating masks, he recently stressed that Ohioans aren’t wearing them nearly enough. “The scientifi c data is irrefutable,” DeWine said during his June 25 news conference bringing people up to speed on the latest coronavirus data. “Everybody needs to wear a mask out in public.” Gathering solid data on mask wearing would require a large-scale study, the results of which likely would be obsolete by the time the numbers were were crunched. So journalists with The Enquirer kept things decidedly unscientifi c, fanning across the city to simply observe. Some places were teeming with mask-wearers – Costco in Sharonville and Dorothy Lane Market in Springboro, for example.

Green Township man stabbed a man 7 times, police say Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Green Township man was indicted June 25 on felonious assault charges after documents state he stabbed another man seven times. Buddy Smith, 49, told police that he “escorted” a man out of his home June 20 after the man “exposed himself” to

Smith’s wife, according to court documents. Oﬃ cers were dispatched to the area where they found the man covered in blood, with seven Smith stab wounds. Documents state police “followed a trail of blood” from the victim to Smith’s home on Jessup Road.

Smith gave written consent to detectives allowing them to search his home, according to court documents. Oﬃ cers found a bloody knife and belt in Smith’s backyard. When questioned about the belt, Smith said he “changed clothing.” Detectives then discovered Smith’s clothing inside the home, with blood on them. Smith was arrested and released

on a $25,000 bond on June 21, court documents state. Smith’s attorney, Hugh McCloskey, said he is unsure about the nature of the relationship between Smith and the man he assaulted, or if they knew each other prior to the incident. Smith is scheduled to appear in court on July 30, according to the grand jury report.

Custom Design Beneﬁ ts aims to ‘create the wow’ Jessica Levy Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

As federal government agencies update guidance related to the COBRA health insurance law and the Family and Medical Leave Act, some employers might fi nd themselves struggling to keep up with all of the new rules and procedures. That’s where Custom Design Benefi ts comes in. For almost three decades, the company has worked with employers to create personalized benefi ts programs that keep administration costs low and maintain compliance without any of the hassle. In addition to a host of other services, the company off ers COBRA and leave management administration services that can take away the pressure of navigating tricky new coronavirus-related regulations. Custom Design Benefi ts is a thirdparty administrator of self-funded health benefi t plans. In addition to traditional PPO plans, they off er TrueCost, a reference-based price plan, which uses

In other NWLSD news... Lyndsey Creecy, the public relations coordinator for NWLSD, said the district is also oﬀ ering an in-person sum-

a unique, copay-only plan design. This simplifi es administration and keeps overall costs down for the employer and its employees. Additionally, they off er a full suite of Consumer Driven Services administration for services such as COBRA administration, FMLA and Short Term Disability leave administration, and FSA/HSA administration. In addition to cost containment, companies that work with Custom Design Benefi ts also enjoy personalized attention and ongoing working relationships with highly engaged employees. Even as the team had temporarily shifted to a work-from-home model in light of pandemic restrictions, its employees continued to provide the same level of toptier service. “We were able to quickly switch our workforce to a remote work environment while continuing to provide the high-touch customer service that our clients have come to know and love,” said Julie Mueller, President & CEO. That high level of client-oriented service is deeply ingrained in the compa-

The fundamentals include basics such as “Take care of our clients” and “Deliver results,” as well as more excitingly client-centered principles like “Be a fanatic about response time” and “Create the ‘wow.’” The well-defi ned culture and commitment to the team is just one of the reasons that the recent transition to remote work went so smoothly. “I have never been in an environment (like Custom Design Benefi ts) that will do anything and everything they can to make sure their clients are taken care of and are happy,” one employee said. That attitude gives employees a high level of pride in their work and helps to promote a cooperative atmosphere. The company is a Cincinnati Top Workplace for the fi fth time. “The people are awesome to work with,” another employee said. “I feel like I am part of a family. The work environment is positive.

In the past year alone, Custom Design Benefi ts raised more than $16,000 for the American Heart Association by fundraising for the organization’s Heart Mini marathon. It also supported community groups, including Welcome House of Northern Kentucky, the Alzheimer’s Association, Matthew 25: Ministries, and others.

OPINION

Wisdom for widowed dads of daughters Peg Conway Guest Columnist Community Press

Widowed dads of daughters face a unique challenge, fi lling a role they probably never imagined, yet they seldom get the spotlight. As a now grownup motherless daughter raised by my dad and later also a stepmother, I’ve had decades to refl ect on my experience and exchange stories with other motherless women. Today, I want to off er hope to widowed dads of daughters, but it comes with some cost. It’s scary to think of raising a daughter without her mom. However, simply being her dad creates unique potential to support her through this terrible loss. Make no mistake, a daughter feels the eff ects of mother loss for the rest of her life, but dads can still foster her strength and confi dence. Guess what? Dads’

Masks Continued from Page 1A

Why does this all matter? Because coronavirus cases are climbing nationwide, and in Ohio, stats are especially soaring in Hamilton County and Cincinnati. Masks, somehow, have become a point of contention for some. It seems instead of the haves and have-nots, we’ve become a society of masks and masknots. Much depends on where you live. In New Mexico, the governor began requiring residents to cover their faces in public May 16. On May 8, Rhode Island began requiring it for everyone over age 2 in all public spaces, whether indoors or outdoors. In Illinois, face-covering is required in places where maintaining distance is diﬃ cult. DeWine has been ﬁ rm in his recommendation that Ohioans wear masks, but a bit skittish to get bossy about it.

most important tasks have nothing to do with braiding hair or explaining menstruation, but they must take steps that feel uncomfortable and possibly counterintuitive. First, dads have to feel their feelings, on their own or in speaking to a therapist or in a support group. Self-care of this type is absolutely necessary, not only for dad’s long-term health, but for the well-being of his daughter. Painful as it may be, dads who allow sorrow, rage, and fear to wash over them again and again beneﬁ t themselves and their families. Bottling it up only causes harm. A dad who gains emotional clarity becomes equipped to speak candidly with his daughter. Be honest with her. About everything. In language she can understand at her age. It’s never too late to begin. Motherless daughters need their dads to talk about feeling sad. They need to see dad’s tears, to be assured that dad loves her and that she did nothing wrong to cause her mom’s

This was underscored June 25 when DeWine at one moment said people “need” to wear masks, but immediately followed that sentiment with: “I’m not intending to tell them what to do.” Nor, he added, does he intend to make demands of fellow Republicans, some of whom have mocked mask wearers. That includes President Donald Trump, who, with a retweet, needled Democratic Joe Biden for wearing one. In Scottsdale, Arizona, a Republican city oﬃ cial organized an anti-mask protest Wednesday. Councilman Guy Phillips later apologized for mocking George Floyd’s dying words by declaring “I can’t breathe” while wearing his mask. Resistance in other instances has been more subtle. On June 25, Vice President Mike Pence was mask-less during an event at Ohio’s Lordstown Motors that introduced a new all-electric pickup truck. “I don’t see a great deal of a point in public disagreements with anybody if I can help it,” said DeWine.

death. Inevitably, widowed dads face many decisions, from dealing with mom’s things to arranging the logistics of ongoing daily life. In this process, daughters want to know what dad’s thinking and have a chance to share their own views. Dads who choose to start dating or even want to marry again must keep their daughters in the loop, and never spring any major changes on her suddenly. After what she’s already weathered, further abrupt shifts add trauma. As dads refashion their lives after loss, they must remember that their daughter needs her mom to remain part of it. With the best of intentions, people tend to avoid speaking of dead moms for fear of upsetting children. The opposite is actually true. What’s unspoken or hidden becomes taboo, and that’s frightening. Remembering the person who died consoles children. Keep pictures of her mom visible. Mark special days like mom’s birthday and her death anniversary. Make mom’s favorite

Hamilton County in general, and Cincinnati in particular, were called out during the June 25 presser because of a surge in COVID-19 cases, especially among young adults. Dr. Richard Lofgren, president of CEO of UC Health, said the uptick means people need to keep washing their hands, maintaining social distance and wearing masks. “Masks really are very eﬀ ective in preventing the spread of this virus, par-

foods. Create new traditions that build on who mom was and what she valued or enjoyed. Tell stories about her. There is no end to these tasks. As motherless daughters grow through successive milestones and transitions, at each one they discover yet another facet of their loss and grieve all over again. At diﬀ erent life stages, a daughter will thirst to know who her mom was, not as idle curiosity but in a quest crucial to her own self-identity. If her dad has proven worthy of emotional trust, then she’ll open up to him. In these moments, dads who oﬀ er memories or pass on heirlooms of mom will not just seal their mutual bond but also lift their daughters over yet another threshold in the continual journey of being motherless. Early loss forever echoes with longing, but dads can make it pulse with love as well. Peg Conway lives in Amberley Village and her memoir of early mother loss will be published in 2021.

ticularly by asymptomatic individuals,” Lofgren said. Recent studies back him up. One, funded by the World Health Organization and published in the medical journal Lancet, crunched data from 172 observational studies. It found that masks prevent the spread of illness. Double-blinded, randomized studies aren’t possible in pandemics for ethical reasons. While politicians and the general populace disagree on mask use, there’s less of a schism among scientists and health oﬃ cials. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends cloth face coverings, as does Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease expert in the U.S. Neither Lofgren nor DeWine blamed the latest surge in cases on any trend or activity in particular, be it shoppers or folks gathering for recent protests. Lofgren said it’ll be a long time before oﬃ cials know the cause of this uptick. But DeWine said that one thing is clear: “No matter where you are, if you wear a mask, you’re helping.”

To help teachers prepare for a variety of possibilities, the Ohio Department of Education’s Oﬃ ce of Learning and Instructional Strategies has created online sessions featuring experienced teachers sharing what is working for them and their students.

the instructional framework and digital resources that have allowed my students and me to seamlessly transition from in-person to distance learning,” she said. Educators are ready to learn; the online session was originally set up to accommodate 300 attendees, but had to be changed when registration climbed to more than 900. Ruder uses a variety of electronic tools to connect with students. Some allow her to use familiar services like BlackBoard and Zoom to share lesson materials and to start discussions with and among students. Other resources allow students to interact with content and progress through the course material on their own, a form of student-paced learning that Ruder implemented in her classroom. Students receive immediate feedback to guide their progress using a variety of digital assessment tools that are accessible via computers, tablets and cell phones. Ruder described activities she uses with one such digital resource, Nearpod. “I can collaborate with students using electronic sticky notes, and through digital activities students can explore remote locations with virtual ﬁ eld trips. They can listen to me explain the course content, gauge their level of understanding by answering multiple choice questions, matching terms and deﬁ nitions, and even audio record their responses to open ended questions.”

Teachers can duplicate the digital lessons then edit each in order to provide diff erentiated instruction. Ruder also creates online polls and gamifi ed quizzes for students, to help her see how well the students understand the course content while they compete for the top score. There are online resources that enable teachers around the world to share ideas, materials, and more. The education community has stepped up during the pandemic and many digital platforms are off ering free access to tools and materials to help support remote learning. Scarlet Oaks’ Eryn Ruder said that the tools, programs and methods she and others are learning about and using will help today’s students learn better and help teachers become more eff ective, regardless of whether they’re together in a classroom or teaching and learning remotely. “The pandemic pushed the fast forward button on education. Educators are stepping up, trying new tools, sharing and implementing strategies to reach students where they are, while we are apart. I am excited to share how my students have continued through the course content and are demonstrating mastery. As their teacher during distance learning I act as a coach, a facilitator and a cheerleader. My students and I are interacting and using tools that will leave us all better prepared for the future, no matter what it holds.” Jon Weidlich, Great Oaks Career Campuses

She advocates for Latino students in Northern Kentucky, and is the ﬁ rst student at Beechwood to be recognized by National Merit as a National Hispanic Scholar. ❚ Madison Kimber-Crutcher (DePaul Cristo Rey) wrote about her mother’s struggle with kidney disease. She plans to go into nursing, and currently coops through DePaul Cristo Rey at Mercy Health Anderson. ❚ Emma Krebs (West Clermont) wrote about challenges faced by women (including herself) pursuing a medical degree. Not only does she have the highest GPA in the history of her school, she also volunteers at the library, local hospital, Camp Cardiac, and a church group, and tutors students during her lunch bell. ❚ Dailey Moore (Taylor) wrote about being a self-advocate while living with a hearing impairment. She has traveled to Japan as a summer exchange student. She plans to attend the University of Cincinnati in the fall. ❚ Anastasia Pohlgeers (Campbell County) describes herself as “bent, not broken,” after her experiences in foster care. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear recognized her as “a resilient, brave, and intelligent young woman when she spoke in the capitol rotunda for Children’s Advocacy Day.” WCC’s annual Feist-Tea fundraiser, held in December, helps raise the money for the scholarships. The awards also are funded by earmarked donations during our pledge drive, as well as the extraordinary generosity of an individual benefactor. Unlike most scholarships, WCC’s Seasongood Education Awards are presented in the form of a check to the student, and may be used for peripheral costs other than tuition if the awardee so desires. This year we are postponing our usual recognition event, but want to wish our scholars congratulations on their graduation and new adventures. Anne Skove, Woman’s City Club

sponded, “I am happy with everything I do based on how much fun it was. I have received a tremendous amount from this experience and exposure. To me, it is not about winning; it is about the ride, the journey on your way to the top, and what you learn from it all. My favorite part was putting it together and seeing it come to life. I loved everything about it. These were skills that I developed from my project-planning tool kit. They were important as I worked to develop the planning, organization and excitement of the project.” The winners of the Taft Museum’s Artists Reaching Classrooms 2020 Exhibition Contest from WWHS are: Brendon Lowry, Lillian Bewaji, Sidney Posey, Alejandra Hernandez, Riley Lauchard, Yisiah Roberts, and Roberto Engleman.

Mary’s cherry bounce Mary used rock crystal candy. Sugar works, too. Cherries are usually left unpitted. A reader told me last year she pitted the berries.“Easier to eat and use,” she said. So do what you like. This year, I’ll make 2 batches: 1 with unpitted cherries and 1 with pit-ted. I’ll let you know if I ﬁ nd a difference in taste. Ingredients 1 pound fresh dark cherries stemmed, unpitted or pitted Enough rock candy (on stick or string) to make 12 oz.. or more, to taste or 1-1/2 to 2 cups granulated sugar 1 bottle bourbon whiskey, 750 ml Instructions Put cherries in glass jar. Pour sugar and whiskey over. Put lid on. Shake daily until sugar dissolves. Let infuse 3-6 months. Remove sticks or strings from rock candy. Store in pantry. Great as a holiday cordial or as a topping for ice cream or cake. Write on label that cherries have pits if applicable, and note that the pits are not edible. How much to drink? A couple of spoons as a medicinal, or in a cordial glass as a liqueur. Tip: can’t ﬁ nd fresh dark cherries? Use frozen, thawed cherries.

Cherry bounce with sour pie cherries

Cherry bounce is ‘good for what ails you’ Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Our neighbor, Joan, told me she has wild cherry ﬁ rewood for us from a tree she had cut down. We’ll sure enjoy the fragrant ﬁ res this winter. When we were kids, there was a huge wild black cherry tree in our postage stamp size of a yard. Every summer the tree produced shiny, black, tiny berries. We’d feast, spitting out inedible pits. It got me thinking about using wild cherries for cherry bounce, an old fashioned liqueur trending now.

There’s several trees around here. The problem is they’d have to be seeded to make bounce, and that’s not only a real chore, but I can’t imagine how many tiny berries I’d have to pick to make a pound of pulp. Anyway, for now I’ll go with domestic cherries in season. As always, with heirloom recipes, there’s a story worth sharing. My recipe is from dear friend and Kentucky reader, Ann Rudloff ’s mother Mary, who’s probably making batches of bounce in heaven. “Good for what ails you, especially in winter,” Mary told me. Cherry bounce is multi-purpose – a good medicinal since cherries are anti-infl ammatory. Also a lovely cordial, or topping for ice cream and cake. Maybe you’d like to make cherry bounce, too. Just don’t imbibe too much at once – you may fi nd yourself “bouncing” around!

Use fresh, frozen, or canned packed in water, drained. I’ve not made it yet, but plan on making it soon. Ingredients 2 cups bourbon whiskey 4 cups tart pie cherries, pitted or not 1-1/2 cups sugar or 12 oz. rock crystal candy Instructions Place cherries and sugar in a jar. Stir to mix. Pour bourbon over. Seal and place in dark, warm place. Stir daily un-til sugar dissolves. Let infuse 3 months or more. Store in pantry. Adapted slightly from boulderlocavore.com/Toni Dash.

SPORTS La Salle’s Devonta Smith commits to Alabama Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

La Salle 2021 defensive back Devonta Smith has found a new home. After decommitting from Ohio State University on June 25, the four-star recruit announced on Twitter June 29 that he has committed to the University of Alabama. Smith originally committed to Ohio State in March after being recruited by former Colerain head coach Kerry Coombs, who returned to Columbus earlier this year to serve as the team’s co-defensive coordinator. Smith’s secondary teammate, Jaylen Johnson, committed to Ohio State in January. Smith was a third-team All-Ohio selection last season, helping lead La Salle to a Division II state championship. He fi nished the year with 38 total tackles, three interceptions and a forced fumble. On off ense, he had 11 receptions for 271 yards and fi ve touchdowns. Smith held nearly 30 Division I off ers, including UC, Kentucky, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Tennessee.

Will high school football look the same this fall? Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

On June 28, Ohio High School Athletic Association executive director Jerry Snodgrass was asked on Twitter if the fall high school sports season was still on as scheduled. “As of June 28 at 12:58 p.m., fall sports are scheduled to move forward,” Snodgrass wrote back in a reply. “Also highlights the uncertainty and unknowns of the future.” While the OHSAA has remained confi dent, there have been multiple schools that have shut down activities following a positive coronavirus test. St. Xavier and Mount Healthy have postponed football activities until July 13 due to a student-athlete testing positive. Anderson High School had been aff ected after a student-athlete’s family member tested positive. The school was scheduled to resume practice on June 30 after the athlete tested negative. So, what will the high school football season look like in Ohio this fall? On June 29, Snodgrass hosted a Zoom meeting with Southwest District athletic directors who were able to ask questions about the upcoming season. The bottom line echoed Snodgrass’ Tweet from June 28 that athletic directors are still planning for fall sports practices to begin on August 1. “The plan is right now to move forward and have a season,” Taylor athletic director Larry Herges told The Enquirer. “Right now, I’m planning to start August 1 with my student-athletes because that’s the fi rst day of practice. I’m planning on a 10-week season, but there’s so many wheels in motion and there’s no real answer.” Walnut Hills athletic director Steve Ellison said he has heard about a potential plan to have an eight-week football season that doesn’t start until after Labor Day, but added that all alternative scenarios are speculative for the time being. “There is across the board some uncertainty without a lot of guidance,” Ellison said. “A lot of it is rumor or assumption. I haven’t heard anything concrete.” One of the main points discussed in the June 29 virtual meeting was the possibility of fans in attendance. Both Herges and Ellison confi rmed the report that schools may have up to 2,500 in a stadium or 50% capacity, whichever number is the lowest. “We’re looking right now to mark off our bleachers to adhere to social dis-

tancing and stay within that 50% capacity,” Ellison said. Transportation was also discussed as safety guidelines allow just one student per seat on buses. More questions than answers surfaced on the topic as it could present logistic problems for some Cincinnati-area schools. Herges said that athletic directors were told to “start planning on alternate means of transportation.” “We got some guidance that it will have to be one kid per seat.That turns a three-bus trip into a six-bus trip for us,” Ellison said. “It’s another up-in-the-air situation because we have contracts with only a couple of vendors in the city and if they increase those buses it may be a situation where we don’t have enough buses for every sport that will need transportation.”

Herges added: “There’s no deﬁ nite answer and there’s really nothing that’s pointing us in the direction to go in. You just plan on the season and when they tell us what we can and can’t do, that’s what happens.” With current coronavirus cases on the rise, there was no date to pinpoint when practices must be held safely by to ensure the season begins on August 24. Herges says the OHSAA does not feel that if one sport were to potentially shut down because of a further outbreak of COVID-19 that it would necessarily impact other fall sports. “Just because football gets shut down doesn’t mean we can’t still play tennis or golf,” Herges said. “I believe the OHSAA does not want to do that.” Wyoming athletic director and OHSAA Board of Directors Vice President Jan Wilking believes the time has come for urgency when it comes to a clear-cut plan. “We are four weeks from starting sports and at some point there has to be some urgency to communicate with member schools and (say), ‘this is the direction in which we’re going,’” Wilking said. “To think that we’re gonna learn about this the week before the season starts and all of us have to turn on a dime to make all of these things happen, I just don’t think that’s possible.”

Per a report from Michael Swain of 247 sports, Iowa State defensive back Keontae Jones, a Colerain High School product, will enter the transfer portal. The redshirt junior appeared in 13 games over the last three season for the Cyclones, including nine in 2019. He tallied two tackles, including one for a loss, in Iowa State's win over University of Louisiana-Monroe. With two years of eligibility left, Jones can leave Ames, Iowa as a graduate transfer and play immediately for his new school. If he does not depart as a graduate transfer, he would have to sit for the entire 2020 season. While at Colerain, Jones was a twotime all-district selection and threetime ﬁ rst-team Greater Miami Conference member. As a senior in 2016, he had 56 tackles, two sacks and two interceptions, including a 57-yard picksix. He was named second-team AllOhio after helping lead the Cardinals to an 11-1 record.

Prater, Scherr win LaRosa’s MVP of the Year honors James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The honors keep rolling in for two of the region’s top graduating senior athletes. Wyoming football and basketball standout Evan Prater, and Ryle basketball star Maddie Scherr were named as the LaRosa’s Most Valuable Players of the year in boys and girls athletics, respectively. Prater, a University of Cincinnati football signee, was also an Army All-American. Earlier this month, Prater was named Boys Small School Football Player of the Year at the Cincinnati.com Sports Awards. This came after earning Ohio’s Mr. Football Award as the quarterback of the Wyoming Cowboys, the fi rst Greater Cincinnati player to win that honor since 1992. Prater’s high school football career ended with a Division IV semifi nal loss to Clyde. That left his high school record as a starting quarterback at Wyoming at 40-2. Both losses came deep in the playoff s to end undefeated seasons in 2017 and this year. Last season, he led the Cowboys to the Division IV state title at 15-0 with a dominant performance in Canton. Prater fi nished his career throwing for 5,699 yards and 72 touchdowns and ran for 4,124 yards and 73 scores. Most of that came in three seasons. Also a top scorer and rebounder for Wyoming’s basketball team, Prater also won Athlete of the Year honors at the Cincinnati.com awards Scherr was named Kentucky Miss Basketball June 28, becoming the fi rst Northern Kentucky honoree since 2012 and sixth overall. Earlier this season, she became Northern Kentucky’s fi rst McDonald’s All-American honoree and fourth in Cincinnati history. She has signed with the University of Oregon, one of the nation’s top programs. She won the Girls Big School Basketball Player of the Year at the Cincinnati.com Sports Awards. The LaRosa’s committee continued to honor weekly MVPS this spring after the high school seasons were wiped out by the pandemic. Weekly MVP awards went out to graduating senior standouts.

The Cincinnati Symphony Youth Orchestras (CSYO) is investing in the future of music and the next generation of leaders. PROVIDED

Youth Orchestra auditions scheduled for Aug. 27-30 The Cincinnati Symphony Youth Orchestras (CSYO) has been a vital part of Cincinnati’s musical culture since 1964. Its two full orchestras are comprised of talented and dedicated student musicians. The CSYO is investing in the future of music and the next generation of leaders. The program allows students to hone their skills while performing advanced and exciting repertoire. CSYO alumni go on to play in the world’s fi nest orchestras and are also found working as doctors, teachers, lawyers, community leaders, and business professionals. Whether or not a graduate continues music studies after their time in CSYO, students leave with increased self-confi dence, a strong sense of self-discipline, and a deeper appreciation for music and the arts. The CSYO was founded in 1964 as the Cincinnati Youth Symphony Orchestra by Max Rudolf, who was Music Director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and by area music educators who recognized the importance of providing talented young musicians with the opportunity for an exceptional orchestral experience. The fi rst conductor of the CSYO was Sigmund Effron, CSO Concertmaster, who guided the CSYO until 1970 when he was followed by a series of distinguished conductors, including Keith Lockhart. The Cincinnati Symphony Youth Orchestras program is made up of approximately 200 musicians from high schools in southwestern Ohio, northern Kentucky, and southeast-ern Indiana. Applications are being accepted for the 2020-2021 season. Students in grades 7-12 who play woodwinds, brass, percussion, harp, violin, viola, cello, or double bass are invited to apply. Auditions for the program are scheduled for August 27-30. More information, audition excerpts, and the audition application can be found at cincinnatisymphony.org/csyo.

During the current COVID-19 pandemic, these meals have become more vital to families facing greater fi nancial and food insecurity due to school and employment closings. Mary Laymon, Tikkun Farm’s Executive Director, quickly realized the need to increase their eff orts. Her prompt actions enabled Tikkun Farm to respond quickly to families in need. The Family Feeding Program has provided over 1,000 meals to homeless families currently housed in hotels, elderly neighbors, people with disabilities, single parent families in Mt. Healthy, and local Veterans. Over 300 families have received the crockpot meals and many have enjoyed preparing their dinners together. In addition to the meals, Tikkun Farm off ers the

surplus food items they receive from three local food banks to families. Since COVID-19 began, over 25,000 pounds of food have been given to 400 families. The kindness of 100 weekly volunteers and the generosity of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, Christ Church Cathedral and the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio are supporting Tikkun Farm’s eﬀ orts to feed families body and soul. Tikkun Farm, a 3.5 acre farm in Mt. Healthy, is a place of healing, restoration and repair cultivated through meaningful work and spiritual practices.

WCC announces Seasongood Scholarship winners The Woman’s City Club of Greater Cincinnati established the Agnes Seasongood Education Awards to encourage responsible civic awareness among local high school seniors who identify as female. Students are invited to submit an essay on the topic of “Growing Into Citizenship: Trusting My Voice and Making It Heard,” with a letter of recommendation. Recipients are selected using a holistic approach with multiple readers who focus on what entrants have specifi cally done thus far and how they plan to continue to fi nd their voices and make them heard. This year we received nearly 50 submissions from nearly 30 area schools. Six $1,000 education awards were presented: ❚ Aissatou Barry (Taft) wrote about volunteering and her involvement in groups for young women, such as Girls in STEM and Women Writing for a Change, in her adopted city of Cincinnati. She is fl uent in four languages. ❚ Graciela Grunkemeyer (Beechwood) told us the story of her mother and her Abuelo Hector. She advocates for Latino students in Northern Kentucky, and is the fi rst student at Beechwood to be recognized by National Merit as a National Hispanic Scholar. ❚ Madison Kimber-Crutcher (DePaul Cristo Rey) wrote about her mother’s struggle with kidney disease. She plans to go into nursing, and currently coops through DePaul Cristo Rey at Mercy Health Anderson. ❚ Emma Krebs (West Clermont) wrote about challenges faced by women (including herself) pursuing a medical degree. Not only does she have the highest GPA in the history of her school, she also volunteers at the library, local hospital, Camp Cardiac, and a church group, and tutors students during her lunch bell. ❚ Dailey Moore (Taylor) wrote about being a self-advocate while living with a hearing impairment. She has traveled to Japan as a summer exchange student. She plans to attend the University of Cincinnati in the fall. ❚ Anastasia Pohlgeers (Campbell County) describes herself as “bent, not broken,” after her experiences in foster care. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear recognized her as “a resilient, brave, and intelligent young woman when she spoke in the capitol rotunda for Children’s Advocacy Day.”

WCC’s annual Feist-Tea fundraiser, held in December, helps raise the money for the scholarships. The awards also are funded by earmarked donations during our pledge drive, as well as the extraordinary generosity of an individual benefactor. Unlike most scholarships, WCC’s Seasongood Education Awards are presented in the form of a check to the student, and may be used for peripheral costs other than tuition if the awardee so desires. This year we are postponing our usual recognition event, but want to wish our scholars congratulations on their graduation and new adventures. Anne Skove, Woman’s City Club
