‘I saw the fear in his eyes’: Gun threats to her sons drive woman from Winton Hills Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

ICE frees Lockland man after 11 months Amadou Sow fl ed his native Mauritania 28 years ago after being enslaved and beaten, has lived without incident in U.S. Mark Curnutte Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

LOCKLAND – Three-year-old Muhammad heard the knock on the apartment door shortly after midnight on a recent Saturday morning but could not unlock it.

The child heard a familiar voice coming from outside, one he’d heard only on the phone for the previous 11 months.

“I tell him, ‘Muhammed, it’s Daddy.’ He said Mommy was asleep,” Amadou Sow said Monday, July 15.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had arrested Sow during a regular appointment Aug. 22 in Columbus but – after shuffl ing him through four other states and three Ohio prisons – inexplicably released him without advance notice on Friday.

Sow, 49, had lived peacefully in the United States since 1991, receiving annual work permits from the federal government, paying taxes, building a career and caring for his wife and fi ve U.S. citizen children.

Her sons have been shot at multiple times in the past month and a half.

In a desperate attempt to keep her 17-year-old alive long enough to get to college this summer, Monecea Collins fl ed her Winton Hills apartment last week.

It started with a fi ght at a basketball court in April.

Since then, she said her two teens – the youngest is 15 – have been repeatedly threatened and targeted by other teens in the “There are still neighborhood.

“I need to get my kids out of here," Collins said.

Monecea Collins "There are still family members out here who wanted to help me, who want to say something, but they’re scared. They don’t want to be retaliated against.”

The violence escalated in recent weeks.

On July 3, she said she was in Winton Terrace with her sons when the teens started fi ring shots toward them. She said she was forced to dive into her car, duck down and speed away.

On July 6, she woke up in the morning to fi nd a large brick was used to smash the windshield of her car.

Then last Tuesday, her 17-year-old son was walking to the bus stop with his headphones on when he noticed dirt kicking up around his feet. As he got his bearings, he realized he was being fi red at and raced home.

Winton Hills Continued from Page 1A

Collins said she's been speaking with police and the Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority, which operates public housing in Winton Hill, about the incidents, but not much has been done.

With her 15-year-old already staying with a relative, she spent last week packing to move to another apartment, an emergency Section 8 housing relocation she applied for in May. “I can’t stop speaking to people. I’m not going to keep ducking my head," Collins said. “I’m fi ghting with people I’m literally trying to help.”

Collins once led the resident council in Winton Terrace and worked as a resident organizer there. Then a mice infestation forced her and others to move up the hill to other CMHA apartments.

When she wasn't working one of her several jobs, she often pushed a cart We Gladly Accept Food Stamps

around the public housing project with food, snacks and drinks for the kids playing outside.

In her apartment, she has neatly labeled milk crates containing dozens of diff erent forms and applications a family might need to apply to get help with housing, food or child care.

But last week, she was packing those crates while she and her son tried to avoid walking in front of the windows in the townhome – windows that had broken glass trapped in their frame from the last time they were shot out when someone else lived there.

Initially resistant to leaving guaranteed WiFi and his friends, her son did not like the idea of leaving. Collins said they'd been fi ghting about it for months.

But after the most recent shooting, she found her son with his knees to his chest, sitting on the fl oor of their hall.

"I saw the fear in his eyes," she said.

"He said, 'I want to go to college.'"

there long.

Collins had to search outside of the city to fi nd an apartment that would take Section 8 vouchers that she felt was safe. She can move there Aug. 1.

Her troubles come during a spike in gun violence throughout the city. June was the deadliest month Cincinnati has seen since at least 2000.

She said police need to patrol more, CMHA needs to step up security. She added the city should to do more to keep their residents safe and support and educate parents who are not supervising their kids.

“These are 14 year olds. These are babies. Where’s the parents?" Collins said. "They don’t have no guidance.

They don’t have no resources. They don’t have anything.”

Shots can be heard every night in Winton Hills, Collins said. She explained people don't call police because they don't want an offi cer knocking on their door to ask what happened. No one wants to be seen as a possible snitch.

She's frustrated with the lack of action.

“Why are they refusing to do something in these low income communities. Do y’all want us to kill each other off ?" she asked. "The more we kill off of each other, the less they have to move when they come and remodel and put the rest of the people out?”

Often times, supporting the teens has fallen on her shoulders. They've spent nights on her couch when things at their homes have gotten out of control.

“I’ve worked with them. I’ve talked to them. I done hugged them,” she said.

“The court system is the last place I want them in.

"But right now, I need your attention. I need you off the street. You’re dangerous. You’re going to hurt someone. You’re 14 years old with a gun. You have no business with no gun.

“I do love them regardless, and it’s not their fault. I just want them to stop.

I just want them to stop and I want them to be safe.”

member Pat Bruns. The race is listed as nonpartisan, but Kilgore is a Republican and Bruns is a Democrat.

At the time, Kilgore was one year into a four-year term on Glendale Village Council. She was re-elected to that spot in November 2017, defeating three challengers.

The problem: state law prohibits a member of village council from holding "any other public offi ce."

Kilgore said she initially wasn't aware that she couldn't continue performing both jobs and felt confi dent she could serve both places well. Last week, she was told about the confl ict and worked to remedy it.

"It was done in good conscience," Kilgore said. "Nothing was purposely done."

When asked about Kilgore's dual roles, a spokesman for the Ohio Attorney General's Offi ce referred The Enquirer to state law that prohibits holding both positions. Neither the village council nor the state board of education had asked for the offi ce's opinion on the matter.

Lofty said village offi cials were sorting out how to fi ll Kilgore's seat.

Glendale village council is an unpaid volunteer position. State board of education members are paid $32.02 an hour while attending meetings or working on board business. That amounts to between $10,000 to $14,000 a year.

Mauritania

larger Mauritanian community here, Lockland School District and the Islamic Center of Greater Cincinnati in West Chester Township helped the family pay rent and utility bills, Aly said.

While imprisoned, Sow, a devout Muslim, slept, fasted and prayed for patience and inner peace, knowing his time of trial would end and that God was testing his strength and faith. He read the Quran.

Though most of the other ICE prisoners were Latino and Indian nationals, Sow said he always had a half-dozen other Mauritanian or other African Muslims near him with whom he prayed.

state in northwest Africa. They’d been among the lowest removal priorities under the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations because they posed little or no threat to national security, worked, paid taxes and were understood to be at grave risk if returned to Mauritania.

Sow’s unexpected release comes at a time of renewed tension inside Mauritania. Human rights activists say a sham election June 22 kept the lighterskinned Arab Maghreb ruling class in power. The results led to demonstrations

by Afro-Mauritanians, a class of stateless and often-enslaved people to which Sow belongs, and a violent response by Mauritanian military and police.

The government shut down the internet the day after election, Amnesty International reports.

Several dozen Mauritanian-Americans and their advocates and allies held a march Monday in Downtown Cincinnati to protest the repression of black Africans there and called on U.S. sanctions against Mauritania.

At the same time, Sow and his family were enjoying a victory – quite possibly a temporary one – in their highly personal struggle. Sow had to return Wednesday, July 17, for another checkin appointment at the ICE offi ce in Columbus, the same one from which he was detained in August.

“I do not know what will happen,” he said.

ICE released Sow after a routine review of his detention, said his attorney, Alexandria Lubans-Otto. ICE offi cials in its Detroit regional offi ce could not immediately provide an explanation.

‘I screamed so badly. It’a miracle’ Sow did not tell his wife and fi ve children Friday, July 12 that he was coming home.

Amadou Sow and his wife, Aissata Aly, say the kindness of the larger community helped their family during his 11 months in immigration detention.

ALBERT CESARE/THE ENQUIRER

Aissata Aly didn’t believe their young son when she told him that his dad was knocking on the door.

Aly, in fact, had gone to bed in tears, thinking the worst. Her husband missed his regular short call to her that afternoon. She thought the next time she’d hear his voice he’d possibly be calling from Mauritania, which he fl ed 28 years ago after being enslaved and beaten.

“She is thinking Muhammad is just playing,” Sow said. “He insisted. Mommy came to open the door.”

Sow is 6-feet, 4-inches tall but weighs just 155 pounds after losing 15 pounds while imprisoned. In a rush of excitement, his wife squeezed him in an embrace, lifting him briefl y off the ground.

“I am thinking it’s maybe my brother at the door,” Aly said. “I screamed so badly. It’s a miracle.”

Their oldest child, daughter Awa Harouna, 23, said to see her father at the door was “pretty surreal. … It felt like I was waking up after a very long and very heinous dream.”

Sow was one of the fi rst to settle in Greater Cincinnati, which is now con-

sidered the largest expatriate Mauritanian community in the United States.

Dozens of single men emigrating without their families stayed with his family without cost while they found work.

Sow had marked his 20th anniversary of working at a Lebanon, Ohio, factory that manufactures automotive fl ooring and acoustical products. He said he is not sure if he will be able to get his old job back.

In his absence, Sow’s two oldest daughters worked to buy groceries. The

‘Here is the only place I ever feel safe’ ICE moved him throughout Ohio, from the Butler County jail to Morrow County, both of which have contracts with ICE as federal detention centers.

He spent time in Virginia, Texas, Louisiana and Virginia. He was released Friday, July 12 from the private, for-profi t Northeast Ohio Correctional Center near Youngstown.

It costs $133.99 a day to maintain one adult detention bed, according to ICE’s 2018 budget. More than 300 immigrants are held at the center owned by CoreCivic, formerly the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA). The annual cost for migrant prisoners at the Mahoning County facility is roughly $14.7 million.

Yet, Sow said, conditions were the worst in the Butler and Morrow jails. He said guards treated prisoners poorly and spoke harshly to them. He said he was fed powdered milk and corn fl akes for breakfast and frequently received a hot dog for dinner. Most of the food he could not recognize and had not seen before.

When he returned home, his wife made him his favorite dish, fi sh and rice.

around 256. The building was vacant for almost two years since Friday's closed in December 2017.

Township offi cials were hoping for an opening in the spring of 2020. Now, they are hoping for a new tenant.

Wurster has demolished the old Friday's, and said he is looking for a new tenant for the property. While he thinks the location is ideal for a national restaurant, he said he's also had inquiries from bank and medical tenants.

Green Township administrator Frank Birkenhauer said while the Olive Garden decision was disappointing, he expects "a quality national tenant" will be found.

He said the community's demographics and traffi c counts are attractive and West Side restaurants are thriving.

"All of our restaurants are top-tier performers in their class," he said.

take a commercial fl ight to Washington, D.C., that would eventually connect him to a fl ight back to Mauritania. He refused.

ICE resorted to chartered fl ights. Another Mauritianain man, Issa Sao 37, who’d lived in Forest Park with his U.S.born wife and two U.S. citizen children he supported, was deported on a charter fl ight in late October.

Mauritania was the last in the world to abolish slavery, which U.S. government offi cials believe persists.

The Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations made the deportation of Mauritanians the lowest deportation priority. The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency estimates up to 20% of Maurita-

Cane's Chicken Fingers, Panera Bread and First Watch are doing well.

Birkenhauer said including the new Mercy West medical offi ces and the 100,000 square feet the new Tri Health center is bringing, Green Township has close to 1 million square feet of medical offi ce space. That means there are a lot of day workers and patients in the community every day.

"Those people have to eat lunch somewhere," he said.

A plan for a new Buff alo Wild Wings is going through the zoning process to locate next to the Kroger Market place on Harrison Avenue. And a grand opening is set for the new Glenway Avenue IHOP on July 27.

Birkenhauer said the property is also ideal for bank or medical use. "The Wurster family have been great supporters of Green Township and own a lot of real estate," he said. "I am confi dent we'll see another quality development here."

nians live in slavery; most of those enslaved are Afro-Mauritanians like Sow and Sao, who lack legal status in their homeland as citizens.

Sow said he never expected to be arrested in this country, where he had lived peacefully and without incident for almost 30 years.

As a refugee who eventually sought but was denied asylum in the United States, he had lived in the African nations of Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

“Here is the only place I ever feel safe,” he said. “I live most of my life here.

I am American. I pay taxes, I take care of my family, I do everything all Americans do. My children are citizens. My wife has a green card. I have none of that.

These local projects could get gas-tax money Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

You’re paying more for gas now, sure.

But, the higher tax also means Ohio has a pot of money to dish out for local projects.

It’s a small sliver of the overall gas tax revenue, said Matt Bruning, Ohio Department of Transportation spokesman, but the Buckeye State has $170 million this year to award to local projects.

That could mean money for Cincinnati’s Western Hills Viaduct, which offi cials have been talking about replacing since 2009.

Here’s how it works: Around the state, diff erent communities submit applications for their projects. This year, there are 27 applications in all, four of which are from Hamilton, Clermont and Warren counties.

The state’s Transportation Advisory Review Council will go over the applications and decide how to divvy up the money. There will be a draft decision in October, and the fi nal funding list will go out in November. Then, the process will start over for 2020.

Here is what local groups applied for:

President and CEO of the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber, in a letter of support included in the viaduct’s application. “Replacing this deteriorating bridge, which has been rated as structurally defi cient, is critical to ensuring the incredible growth that is happening in our community can continue unabated.”

Interstate 75 widening: The local district of the Ohio Department of Transportation submitted this application, asking for $37.9 million to continue construction on I-75.

The project would add a fourth lane, north and south, near the Kemper overpass as well as auxiliary lanes from Sharon Road to Glendale Milford Road and from Sharon Road to I-275.

Warren County State Route 63 widening: The Warren County Transportation Improvement District applied for $15.7 million to widen a portion of SR 63, which connects I-75 to I-71.

The application calls the route a “critical east-west regional connector,” adding that current traffi c demands far exceed capacity.

Hamilton County

Clermont County

Western Hills Viaduct: Cincinnati and Hamilton County joined forces for this application, asking the state for $190 million to go toward the viaduct replacement.

That’s a lot of money – you might notice it’s more than the total available statewide – but overall, the viaduct replacement is projected to cost around $355 million.

“Among the many pressing transportation needs in our region, there are few that are as important as replacing the Western Hills Viaduct,” wrote Jill Meyer,

State Route 32: The local ODOT district submitted this application to rework a portion of SR32, addressing what ODOT has labeled as some of the most dangerous intersections in the state.

The application asks for $61.4 million, with the total project expected to cost nearly $127 million.

Statewide, from the 27 applications, local communities are asking for more than $916 million. So, it’s clear not everyone will get what they want. But without the higher gas tax, Bruning said, no one would get anything.

The students were chaperoned by teachers Corina Corder, who organized the trip, and fellow teachers Cindy Depoe, Pam Smith, and Melissa McKee. Alumnae Cammie Corder Nelson, Sierra Nelson, and Lizzie Dobbins were also chaperones.

The 15-day journey took the group through Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and England. Several highlights included Bunratty Castle and Blarney in Ireland, Edinburgh in Scotland, and Beaumaris in Wales.

In London, the group was lucky enough to see the Queen and the Royal Family up close during the Trooping the Colour parade, which celebrates the Queen’s birthday.

SCHOOL NEWS Finneytown Local Schools promotes long-time elementary teacher to teaching and learning coordinator

Continued from Page 8A

Struble Elementary students give back to community The students at Struble Elementary are giving back to the community in a major way. This year, fourth and fi fth grade students in the Struble Art Club created and donated 25 paintings to the PAWS Adoption Center in Monroe, Ohio, in order to help the no-kill, non-profi t animal shelter raise money.

This year’s theme for the program has been centered around giving back to the community. Janne Rossman, the Art Teacher at Struble, chose the animal shelter not only because of her own love for animals, but also to teach the students in the program about the importance of using art to benefi t those around them. “I believe in adoption and I have such a big heart for animals. It’s good for the kids to be mindful of animals and other creatures on the Earth. I really hoped that this class project would teach our students to purpose their hearts to think about others and to give back to the community,” said Rossman.

The project, which is called “Sketch and Fetch,” required students to create paintings of the sheltered pets that were currently living in the PAW’s facility. The inspiration came from Heather Galler, a contemporary artist who uses pets as subjects for her painting.

“We observed the artist’s work in a slide show and later viewed examples of Heather’s work as constant inspiration as we worked. The students were then tasked with sketching and painting the photos on their canvases with brightly colored acrylic paint,” said Rossman.

The fi nished paintings were then given to PAWS to be sold for donations. Each painting, which are currently being displayed at the Shelter, can be obtained for a minimum of a $25 donation. Several parents have requested to donate for their child’s painting.

“We’ve received so many positive responses about the student’s artwork.

Our students are thrilled, our parents are pleased, and PAWS is super happy about the work that has been done. Recently, Juli Nimitz, Paws Board of Directors VP and President gave us a shoutout on the news for the work the children did to help the shelter,” said Rossman.

The Art Club started for the fi rst time this year as an after-school program that allowed students to further develop their artistic skills. Janne hopes that this program is one that continues for years to come.

“Art creates an opportunity for stu-

dents to engage their critical thinking and problem solving skills.

Art and creativity are used in so many diff erent careers: architecture, graphic design, cooking, landscaping, furniture design, even our dishes that we eat off of utilize art”, said Rossman. “I hope the students in the program continue to develop a higher appreciation and a broader understanding for art and how it aff ects so many things in our world.”

For 23 years, Troy Edie has been an educator in the Finneytown Local School District. This summer, he was promoted into the position of Teaching and Learning Coordinator for the district, a role he’s been preparing for his whole career.

As a graduate of The Ohio State University with both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Elementary Education, Edie has been teaching in Finneytown his entire career since being hired to teach 2nd grade in 1996. Since then he has taught second, sixth, and fi rst grades. “During my years at Finneytown, I have been blessed to work with many amazing colleagues,” he says. “I view myself as a teacher helping teachers, and I hope to work with staff to make this district the best that it can be.”

When the new year begins, it will look quite diff erent for Edie, but he says, “Having spent nearly half of my life working for FLSD, it defi nes me as a person. The students inspire me, and I am excited every August to begin a new year. I am thrilled and thankful for the opportunity to serve in my new role!”

How to preserve herbs so you can use them all year Coming soon

Rita’s Kitchen

Creamsicle cake Blueberry cobbler with cake crust High roasted pork tenderloin

Rita Heikenfeld

It was a question folks asked me several times this week: “My herbs are growing so fast. How can I preserve them?” Yep, most herbs love this hot weather.

I’ll answer with this easy primer that I share every year on preserving fresh herbs.

Can you help?

Pickled green tomatoes: Lydia C., a Sharonville reader, needs a recipe.

Shepherd’s salad: Tyler, leaning towards a vegetarian diet, wants to make this. “ As close to a middle-eastern restaurant recipe as you can fi nd”.

Homemade herbal vinegar Freeze herbs in water or oil. PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD

Fun and can be used in most recipes calling for plain vinegar. Herbal vinegars add layers of flavor. You can use 1 herb or several. Think of the flavor profi les you like and go from there. Makes a lovely kitchen gift.

Preserving herbs by drying

You can also hang in paper bags.

Up to 2 cups clean, dry fresh herbs, stems and leaves

Instructions Place herbs in glass jar. Smoosh down a bit with a spoon to release flavorful oils.

Pour vinegar over.

Let sit on counter for a week or so. The vinegar is ready when you open the jar and aroma wafts out. Herbs lose some color to the vinegar.

Or place the vinegar outside in a sunny area. It will infuse pretty quick - a cou-

Wonderful for beverages. Use ice cube trays, muffin tins, etc.

Hang in bunches with enough air circulating between stems.

Ingredients

4 cups favorite vinegar (I like white wine vinegar since this mellow vinegar allows the color and flavor of herbs to come through, but just about any vinegar can be used. If using cider or clear vinegar, use one that is 5% acid).

Freeze in water

Or strip tender leaves like basil and dill from stems.

Lay in single layer on cooling racks or on cloth towels to dry.

A trio of herbal vinegars.

ple of days should do it.

Strain and bottle. Insert sprigs of herb if you like.

Store away from heat and light.

Gilding the lily: Add a clean, unsprayed, dry edible flower or 2.

Nasturtiums lend a peppery flavor, while pansies and roses are more subtle. Don’t use florist flowers.

Place fi nely chopped herb leaves in tray or tin. Cover with thin layer of water. Freeze. Cover with another layer of water and freeze. This prevents the herbs from floating and drying out.

Dry away from light and moisture.

Remove ice cubes and pack them in containers.

When leaves crinkle between your palms, herbs are dry.

Freeze in oil Follow the same method. These are great bases for winter soups, stews and sauces since these sometimes call for an aromatic oil base. Use single herbs or your favorite combo.

Store dry herbs in containers away from light, heat and moisture.

Preserving herbs by freezing

Tip You can freeze sprigs/leaves of herbs in baggies.

When frozen herbs thaw, they turn dark. No worries, just a heads up.

Lay flat and be careful not to crush.

More ways to preserve herbs: abouteating.com

Chop leaves directly from bag in frozen state.

Sports GCL-coed lawsuit against OHSAA in local hands Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

All American honors were also presented by NISCA. Nine team members were part of this elite group, seven of whom were fi rst-timers. The seven ties a program record for most “rookie” All-Americans in a season.

“The time standards for All-American are incredibly fast," Brower said.

The Ohio Supreme Court eff ectively punted the ball back to Hamilton County in the case involving the Greater Catholic League-Coed Division's challenge to the Ohio High School Athletic Association's competitive-balance rules.

By a 5-2 decision, the Supreme Court denied OHSAA’s attempt to block Judge Robert P. Ruehlman from further considering the schools’ challenge to the competitive balance rules.

Justice R. Patrick (Pat) DeWine wrote for the majority saying the dispute is within the jurisdiction of the common pleas court. and no other court or agency has exclusive jurisdiction to hear the clam. He also said the Supreme Court is not deciding whether the common pleas court can grant relief.

Attorney Terry Coates of Markovitz, Stock & DeMarco issued the following statement on behalf of the GCL-Coed.

Instead of allowing that full hearing to take place, the OHSAA opted for a “Hail Mary”: it asked the Supreme Court of Ohio to prevent Judge Ruehlman from even considering the claims of the GCL Coed schools. Today, the Supreme Court rejected all of the OHSAA’s arguments and returned the case to Judge Ruehlman, restoring the temporary restraining order and paving the way for the lawsuit to move forward.

“Despite the OHSAA’s attempt to silence them, Roger Bacon and the GCL Coed schools are excited to fi nally have their day in court and look forward to further advocating for their students before Judge Ruehlman,” added Coates, attorney for Roger Bacon High School and the GCL Coed.

For now, Hamilton County can consider whether or not the OHSAA's system implemented in 2017-18 unfairly challenges Roger Bacon and the rest of the GCL-Coed (Purcell Marian, McNicholas, Badin, Fenwick, Carroll, Alter and Chaminade-Julienne). However, as indicated by the rulings of last August, there may be more legal maneuvers.

Judge Ruehlman issued a temporary restraining order in Aug. 2018 staying application of OHSAA competitive balance rules against the eight GCLCoed schools. Then, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the OHSAA granting an emergency stay which was lifted by Tuesday, July 16 decision.

The OHSAA issued a brief response: “The OHSAA is aware of today’s Supreme Court ruling and we are reviewing all of our options. At this time, we have no further comment.”

Should the GCL-Coed schools be successful in their trial, the OHSAA could challenge through appeals. It would also shake up the competitive balance process should eight schools be granted exceptions out of all of the schools in Ohio.

Competitive balance determines which divisions public and non-public schools compete in for state championships. Tiers are assigned based on residencies and which system of edu-

CHLORINE DYNASTY

St. Xavier boys swim team voted top national team for fi fth consecutive time sionally and personally signifi cant."

Assistant coach Eric Bressinger, who rejoined the coaching ranks at his alma mater in 2013 remarked, “this was the most satisfying coaching experience I have had.”

The AquaBombers captured an Ohio record 40th state championship in February. It was the program’s eleventh straight and twentieth in the last twenty-one years.

Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP - The chlorine dynasty continues off North Bend Road as St. Xavier High School's swim team has splashed to another national title. For the fi fth consecutive year, the AquaBombers fi nished on top of the National Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association national dual meet ranking for boys. It marks the eleventh overall NISCA crown for St. X and the “fi ve-peat” is the fi rst by any boys’ school in at least the last twenty-one years. Previous wins were recorded in 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

The Long Blue Lane racked up 6341 points to outdistance Loyola (CA) – 6231, Carmel (IN) – 6146, Phillips (MA) – 6109 and Woodlands (TX) – 5971. Nearly two hundred schools were evaluated using a system that considers quality and team depth for all high school swimming and diving events. The top ten literally reached from coast to coast (Massachusetts to California) and border to border (Minnesota to Texas).

“We believe that the level of competition we faced every week coupled with our emphasis on improving each day as a team served us well," St. Xavier head coach Tim Beerman said. "The talent and depth of our district and state challenges us to get better. We as coaches are extremely gratifi ed to be able to hang another NISCA banner in Keating Natatorium. We not only faced tremendous challenges in the water but had to overcome some expected and unexpect-

ed hurdles along the way. Our athletes and their families embraced what, why and how we approached the season. We are blessed and grateful for their efforts."

Added assistant head coach Tom Keefe, “We said goodbye to seven of our top swimmers following the 2017-18 season. The way each and every athlete on the squad stepped in and stepped up produced a truly remarkable performance. There are many movable parts in our program. Fortunately, we were all moving in the right direction."

Hall of Fame coach Jim Brower is also still around the AquaBombers as an assistant coach.

“Congratulations to our guys, as well as the athletes we compete with on a local, regional and national level," Brower said. "The sport keeps getting faster and to be a part of the evolution is profes-

cation a student-athlete came from. In a non-public school, a student who came from the same system of education from the seventh grade, but not a designated "feeder" school is assigned Tier 1. A Tier 2 student would be one who did not have continuous enrollment in the same system of education since the start of seventh grade (public).

Those factors are added on to actual enrollment numbers giving schools a fi gure used for competitive balance purposes. For instance, Roger Bacon has 182 boys for measuring purposes for 2019. Competitive balance factors add on 58 for an enrollment of 240 which puts them in Division IV (208 and above). In 2016, Roger Bacon was Division V. Minus current competitive balance math, the Spartans would again be Division V. Purcell Marian is currently Division V with 131 boys and 55 tacked on for competitive balance for 186. McNicholas was Division III last season but with 197 boys and 53 added for com-

mond, John Paul Khouzam, Aki Li, Ted Lockett, Patrick McLaughlin, Evan Schell, Christian Wall and Jackson Wilking. “The curriculum at St. X is quite demanding," head coach Beerman said. "These individuals epitomize student and athlete and certainly have accomplished a great deal in and out of the water."

Added department head and assistant Don DiGiacomo, “Having coached and taught many of these gentlemen gives me a deep appreciation of what they have meant to the school and the team."

(Thanks to Becky Schulte, St. Xavier Marketing and Communications)

petitive balance, they've dropped to Division IV. Last year the Rockets had 235 boys plus 50 for competitive balance for a total of 285 (DIII) for tournament purposes.

Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor wrote the dissenting opinion stating the ruling would cause immediate harm to the 809 OHSAA member schools not contesting the competitive balance legislation.

A change of division assignments could throw a considerable monkey wrench in postseason tournament scheduling. Namely, in football, where the strength of schedule becomes a factor in computer ratings, teams might not receive the points they thought they could gain originally with a victory. With playoff spots awarded by computer points, teams playing the GCL-Coed squads could be aff ected.

“We look forward to restoring fairness and common sense to competition in Ohio high school sports," GCLCoed Commissioner Tom Donnelly said.

Also, while Roger Bacon and Purcell Marian are linked with the GCL-Coed suit, both schools begin competing in the Miami Valley Conference for football this fall.
