North College Hill neighbors rally for safe streets Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Swollen fi ngers poked out of 9-yearold Matthew Garza’s sling July 23 while neighbors and friends yelled, “Please drive 25” at passing cars. The rally began at 5 p.m. at the intersection of Betts and Cordova avenues in North College Hill, the same place where a driver recently struck Matthew, ran him over and fl ed. Matthew was left lying in the middle of the street, tire marks streaked across his right arm. His mother Dystinie Snapp said Matthew was in and out of consciousness after the crash, and that the last thing he said to her before being transported to the hospital was, “Mommy, please help me.” Matthew was hospitalized and suffered head trauma and a broken arm, Snapp said.
“I got a lot of love from the neighborhood. And for being so new to the neighborhood, it meant a lot to me.” Dystinie Snapp
The driver, Santi Estill Jr., 21, initially fl ed the scene but later turned himself in. Police said Estill claimed he did not know at the time that he had hit the child. Snapp and her children had recently moved into their home on Cordova Avenue when the incident occurred. Snapp said she lost her job at Waffl e House during the COVID-19 pandemic and became homeless. The house they are in now is being provided by Maslow’s Army while she gets back on her feet. But after Matthew’s incident and having to take time off work, Snapp said she feels like she’s “back to square one.” “I was just on a stable path,” Snapp said. “Now it’s all really unknown.” Having just moved into the neighborhood in recent weeks, Snapp and her family did not have relationships with their neighbors at the time of the crash. But Snapp said neighbors have been supportive in the days since the incident, asking how Matthew is doing and sending prayers. “I got a lot of love from the neighborhood,” Snapp said. “And for being so new to the neighborhood, it meant a lot to me.” North College Hill Mayor Tracie Nichols was at the July 23 “Pedestrian Awareness Safety Rally,” sponsored by Maslow’s Army and Just Slow Down Cincinnati. Nichols said she will be talking to city council about getting speed bumps in the area. See SLOW DOWN, Page 2A

Winton Woods City School District retires chieftain mascot Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Winton Woods City Schools offi cially retired their Native American chieftain mascot during a recent board meeting, offi cials announced. The Board of Education voted unanimously to remove the chieftain mascot and logo, the release states. The school’s mascot is known as the Warriors. The district posted an announcement on their website July 28 stating they had been “intentional with the gradual retirement” of the mascot for years. “The district began to discontinue use of this mascot over fi ve years ago. This stemmed from our high regard for the Native American people and their rich history and contributions to our

community and nation,” community engagement coordinator Corina Denny said in the release. “The design elements of our two new campuses gives us another opportunity to move in the right direction.” The chieftains mascot was created in 1992 when Greenhills High School and Forest Park High School merged to become Winton Woods High School, the release states. “With a diverse student body and 31 spoken languages, it is a priority and imperative that we continue to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all of our students and families,” Superintendent Anthony G. Smith said in the release. This news comes nearly a month after Anderson High School retired their Redskins mascot in a four-to-one vote.

“It’s not appropriate, it’s not acceptable for you to speed and for Matthew to be – I’m just, I’m grateful, I’m grateful to God that he is okay,” Nichols said. Rally participants held up signs reading, “Slow down kids and pets at play” and “#Slow down for Matthew.” Cars sped past the rally, swerving around participants standing in the roadway. Maslow’s Army provided LaRosa’s pizza and drinks. Neighbors spoke on a microphone, sharing their own stories of crashes and near-collisions along Betts Avenue and other spots in the neighborhood. “We need help,” said Sheila Spearman, who said she’s lived on Cordova Avenue for fi ve years. Spearman said she has asked community leaders for help in recent years, including asking for a four-way stop at the intersection where Matthew was hit, but that little to nothing has been done. In the meantime, Snapp said she is focused on caring for Matthew. Her other son, Michael, 10, was there when the crash happened and saw the whole thing. “He is not handling it very well,” Snapp said. “He has some PTSD.”

“I was scared,” Michael said. “I ran in and went to go tell my mom, and she came outside crying. And I was crying, too.” Matthew said July 23 that he’s feeling better. The sling is itchy, and he is excited to get a waterproof cast soon so he can go swimming, he said. Samuel Landis of Maslow’s Army says the group will be rallying at diff erent locations across the city each Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m. with Just Slow Down Cincinnati.

Megachurch bishop sues Forest Park for civil rights violations Deon J. Hampton Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
An embattled megachurch pastor. The local police chief. Two church elders. Accusations of conspiracy. The characters in this federal lawsuit against the city of Forest Park has all the makings of a Netfl ix drama. Bishop Victor S. Couzens of Inspirational Baptist Church is suing for unspecifi ed damages after alleging Forest Park police offi cers illegally entered his church with the help of the two elders and forced him to leave on Feb. 9, according to court records. The suit, fi led on July 14 in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati, names Forrest Park Police Chief William Arns, his offi cers Rebecca Eavers, Corey Hall and Vada Harris, and church members Alandes Powell and Martin Jones as defendants. Couzens and his church “suff ered a violation of their civil liberties and civil rights” when off -duty offi cers conspired with congregants and entered his church without a warrant, the suit alleges. Arns and Couzens couldn't be reached for comment. Powell declined an interview. “The central purpose of the conspiracy was to terminate pastor Couzens’ employment with IBC and his role as spiritual leader of the church,” court documents read. The lawsuit is the latest in a series of
court battles that the bishop has faced this year. Lincoln, Nebraska-based Union Bank & Trust Co. fi led a foreclosure against the church on Feb. 10, saying it gave the church a $5.1 million commercial loan in January 2015. The case is due back in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court on Thursday. The church owes nearly $4.7 million on the fi ve-year loan, which came due on Jan. 10, court records show. The bank is also charging the church daily interest of $634.91. Couzens has asked a judge to be a defendant in a foreclosure on the church's property. He says the bank interfered with his employment by the church – and he wants at least $25,000 in fi nancial, emotional and punitive damages from it. The most recent lawsuit alleges that Powell and Jones tried removing the bishop from his leadership role by terminating his contract with the church despite not having the authority to do so. They then asked the Forest Park police department for help, which in turn assigned an off -duty detail consisting of Hall, Harris and Eavers to the church on Feb 9, court records show. The church's door locks were changed that day, restricting Couzens to the front entrance and exit and authorities wouldn’t allow him access to his offi ce, according to the suit. Also, his microphone was cut off
Bishop Victor Couzens in 2009 at the new building for Inspirational Baptist Church in Forest Park. The congregation then was about 3,500 strong. ENQUIRER FILE
when he tried to address the congregation and he was threatened with arrest if he didn’t leave the church, the suit alleges. Not wanting anymore disruption, Couzens agreed to leave. “Pastor Couzens suff ered a disruption in his employment relationship with IBC causing him fi nancial injuries, damage to his professional reputation, interference with and violations of his civil rights, and emotional distress,” the suit alleges. Couzens' status at the church has been at issue in another lawsuit in 2020. A suit fi led in Common Pleas Court attempted to bar Couzens from the church, saying he had been fi red from the church in February. The fi ling for that suit included a termination letter
noting that Couzens stopped taking biweekly payments of $3,200 in 2019, but that "unknowingly to the church" it was paying monthly allowances of $10,000 for housing and $2,600 for child support. When totaled, the three payments would be $19,000 a month – or $228,000 a year. The judge in March tossed out the request for the restraining order, saying his court had no jurisdiction over ecclesiastical matters. Meanwhile, after 21 months in the criminal justice system, the harassment charge fi led by a New York City model against the bishop for uploading a hidden-camera sex tape to the internet was thrown out on a technicality by a judge in Butler County in June. Citing a lack of jurisdiction in his 11page opinion, Judge Daniel J. Gattermeyer wrote the indictment against Couzens didn’t reference Hamilton Ross Township or St. Clair Township, where the alleged incident occurred, but instead "in Butler County, Ohio." The model said the actions came in retaliation for a Facebook post she made accusing Couzens of sleeping with multiple women and using church money for himself. The video went viral. Membership at the church, once reported to be around 5,000, had declined 90% between 2018 and late 2019 in the wake of revelations about Couzens’ personal conduct, according to court documents.
Woman indicted after setting fi re to Sharonville hotel room, documents state Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A Hamilton woman was indicted July 29 after documents state she set a Sharonville hotel room on fi re. No one was injured during the fi re at Woodspring Suites Hotel, located at 4020 Hauck Road, according to the Sharonville Fire Department. The hotel manager told offi cers there were 103 rooms occupied at the time of the fi re, with most rooms occupied by at least two people.
Shelley Marshall, 54, is charged with one count of arson and three counts of aggravated arson, according to court records. Marshall was staying Marshall at the Woodspring Suites Hotel on July 18 when court documents state she "knowingly set fi re to her hotel room." A hotel manager told offi cers Marshall was staying in a room by herself. Documents state Marshall set fi re to the room using 10 diff erent ignition sites. She was captured on the hotel se-
curity camera leaving the hotel alone just prior to the fi re alarm going off . Marshall remained at the hotel "hiding on the opposite side" and made no eff ort to contact the fi re department after she started the fi re, documents state. Records obtained from the Sharonville Fire Department state the property lost about $4,000 in the fi re. The building was evacuated and offi cers discovered smoldering material on the fl oor of the hotel room near a window, the hotel room's toilet full of charred toilet paper, a jug with some type of charred material on the lid and a burnt material on the
window sill. The report states there were no injuries and that the cause of the fi re is still under investigation. Marshall was arrested the same day and was being held at the Hamilton County Jail on a $103,000 straight bond, according to jail records – when this article was originally published. Marshall was scheduled to appear in court on July 30, court records state. Marshall's attorney Hugh McCloskey told The Enquirer that he is not sure why Marshall was at the hotel that night or "how bad the fi re was."

‘Mr. Bumpass has always been our prime suspect’ Arrest made, charges fi led in Paige Johnson case Cameron Knight, Terry DeMio and Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A man who police have long believed was the last person to see Florence teen Paige Johnson alive has been charged in connection with her death and disappearance in 2010, offi cials announced July 28. Jacob T. Bumpass was taken into custody just around 1 p.m. July 28, prosecutors said. Police have long suspected that Bumpass was the last person to have contact with the 17-year-old. He has been indicted in Clermont County on gross abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence charges. Offi cials said the case is still under investigation and other charges could be added. Donna Johnson, Paige’s mom, speaks at a press conference to announce an arrest and charges in the decade-old disappearance of Paige Johnson, at the Kenton County Fiscal Courtroom in Covington on Tuesday, July 28. She thanked police tearfully saying she was afraid Paige would never be found. “I fi lled up with such joy when I heard he was arrested. This day is the day I have been waiting for.” MEG VOGEL/THE ENQUIRER
‘Every day for the past 10 years I’ve been sad’ Donna Johnson, Paige’s mom said she was fi lled with joy when she heard Bumpass had been arrested.
She said she went to his doors in the days following her daughter’s disappearance. “I knew from that moment,” Johnson said. Paige “The guilt on his face...” Johnson She said today is the fi rst day she’s been happy since Paige vanished. “Every day for the past 10 years I’ve been sad,“ Johnson said. “I was afraid I would end up dying without knowing where my child was... He put us through so much pain.” She called Bumpass arrogant and while she’s satisfi ed that he’s been arrested, she hopes he faces stiff er charges. “We know in our hearts he caused harm to her,” she said. “Now everyone knows what I’ve known all along.”
‘So much agony’ Bumpass was arrested by Colerain Township offi cers July 28 during a traffi c stop without incident. He was scheduled to be taken to the Clermont County jail and then to court for a bond hearing July 29. See SUSPECT, Page 6A
Man charged in teen’s 2010 disappearance pleads not guilty $50K bond for the man accused in connection with Paige Johnson’s death Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
The man charged in connection with the decade-old disappearance and death of Florence teen Paige Johnson said he was not guilty in court July 29. Jacob Bumpass, 32, was arrested July 28 and charged with gross abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence.
Clermont County Common Pleas Judge Anthony Brock set a $50,000 bond for Bumpass July 29. Paige was 17 when she went missing in 2010. Her remains were discovered in rural Clermont County this March. Since early in the investigation, police have said Bumpass, then 22, was the last person to have seen Paige alive. In court, Bumpass’s lawyer Louis Sirkin argued for a reasonable bond saying his client had known the police suspected his involvement for nearly 10 years, and yet, he had never fl ed the area.
Sirkin said Bumpass is gainfully employed and lives in Finneytown in his mother’s home. He also asked if that home could be put up to fulfi ll at least a portion of the bond amount. Sirkin is a well-known Cincinnati lawyer. His most high-profi le cases have involved First Amendment issues. He has represented Larry Flynt and the director of the Contemporary Arts Center after charges stemmed from the Mapplethorpe exhibit. Bumpass’s case has been assigned to Judge Jerry McBride. A pretrial hearing has been setfor Aug. 10.
Jacob Bumpass appears in Clermont County Common Pleas Court on Wednesday, July 29. CAMERON KNIGHT/THE ENQUIRER

Suspect Continued from Page 4A
Sanders said the cause and manner of Paige’s death has not been determined. “(Bumpass) put this family through so much trauma and so much agony,” Sanders said. “Compared to the agony that Paige’s family has been put through, these are relatively minor charges.” Clermont County prosecutors said they are working to return Paige’s remains to her family as quickly as possible. The news of the arrest brought “lots of tears of joy” to Paige’s family, said her older sister, Brittany Haywood. But it was not a surprise to Haywood: “I have known from the beginning who the guilty party was in my sister’s disappearance,” she said minutes after the commonwealth’s attorney made the arrest public. “Right now I am in a complete state of euphoria know-

ing that Jacob Bumpass has been arrested and will fi nally have to answer for his actions after remaining silent for nearly 10 years.” She said years ago she ran into Bumpass in a public place and yelled some “choice words” at him. “You will pay for this,” she recalled telling him. She said he just ran away from her.
Jacob T. Bumpass, shown here at his Nov. 2010 arrest, was taken into custody just around 1 p.m. Tuesday, prosecutors said. He has been indicted in Clermont County on gross abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence charges. CINCINNATI ENQUIRER
A 10-year fi ght for answers Bumpass was 22 when Paige vanished and was questioned by police at the time. He was described as one of Paige’s acquaintances, who had picked her up at her mother’s Florence home the evening of Sept. 22. He told investigators he dropped off Paige at about 1 a.m. the next morning at 15th Street and Scott Boulevard in Covington. But the evidence didn’t show that. Police said phone records placed Bumpass near Paige’s Florence home at that time. More phone records led investigators with cadaver dogs to the 10,000acre East Fork State Park in Clermont County, where they searched for Paige. Police said Bumpass had sent a text message after 4 a.m. on Sept. 23 that pinged on a cell phone tower near the park. But those initial searches found nothing.
After countless false leads, Paige’s body was discovered this March about a mile and half away from the cell phone tower that led police to Clermont County in the fi rst place. Following Paige’s disappearance, Bumpass was arrested in November 2010 on a parole violation for a theft conviction for having liquor in his home, but he was released from a Kentucky prison in 2012. He has not spoken with police about the missing persons case since early in the investigation. Paige’s disappearance set off public vigils, exhaustive investigative searches and a fl urry of activity on social media including Facebook pages seeking clues about her disappearance and off ering support to her family. The story of her disappearance and the discovery of her remains captured news organizations’ headlines in the United States and even overseas. None of it led to Paige
or to answers about what happened to her. She would be 27 now if she were still alive. Paige was the mother of her then 2-year-old daughter, Makenzie, when she disappeared. The girl moved in with her father’s family and is now approaching her teens. The investigation was frustrating. Sanders said potential witnesses have refused to cooperate, lied, told half stories and made false claims. Sanders said one false lead took investigators to Knox County where they “dug a hole the size of an Olympic-sized swimming pool” searching for remains. About fi ve years ago, Haywood said that Paige didn’t deserve to die. “Jacob Bumpass and one of his close friends
know exactly what happened to her yet refuse to come forward,” Haywood told The Enquirer. “I know there are other people who know what happened to my sister that night... How they sleep at night is baffl ing to me.” Haywood was the fi rst to call Covington police when she could not reach her younger sister hours after Paige went missing. The Enquirer has tried to reach Bumpass and left him phone messages repeatedly over the years. “Every year we do the memorial. It’s such a hard day for me every year, and I always hope it will be the last year for this,” Johnson said after the press conference. “This year we fi nally have, not all the answers, but a lot more answers than we have had. That’s cause for celebration.”

Hummus is ‘unbelievably easy to make at home’ Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist
When we were on vacation with my family, hummus was one of the snacks that was brought out when we just wanted a little something to nosh on before
dinner. Hummus is not the most inexpensive deli item, but it is unbelievably easy to make at home. And roasted red pepper hummus? Got you covered there, too. Just in case you have roasted red pepper left over, stir a bit into another classic dip: pimento cheese. OK, so my fi rst urge is to spell it “pimiento” – that’s how it used to be spelled, really. But then again, probably no one but me remembers that...
Pimento cheese Begs to be dipped into with a saltine cracker, or smeared on a toasted baguette. The only thing here is don’t use pre-grated cheese if you want the real deal. There may be additives in the pre-grated cheese to keep it from sticking together. Adapted slightly from a New York Times recipe. My version adds cayenne and roasted red pepper. Easily doubled. Ingredients 8 oz. extra sharp cheddar, shredded fi ne or grated ⁄ 4 cup softened regular cream cheese, cut up
1
3 tablespoons real mayonnaise or to taste Salt and pepper
Rita’s hummus
Cayenne pepper to taste (optional)
It’s hard to give an exact recipe so I’ll do my best. Recipe is easily doubled.
Roasted red pepper, diced fi ne, to taste (optional) Instructions
Ingredients
Put everything in the food processor and blend well.
1 can, 15 oz, chick peas (garbanzo/ceci beans), drained
Tip: Roast bell peppers, then freeze. Remove stem and cut in half from top to bottom.
1 nice clove garlic, minced or to taste
Smoosh both halves down, skin side up with your hand to flatten. Drizzle with olive oil. Broil skin side up until blistered. Cool and remove as much char as you can. Or grill. Or roast in 450 degree oven.
⁄ 4 cup lemon juice
1
3-4 tablespoons Tahini or more to taste (Tahini, or sesame seed paste, is ground sesame seeds)
Freeze up to 6 months. (I usually drizzle a little more olive oil on before freezing).
1 teaspoon cumin ⁄ 4 cup plain Greek strained yogurt
1
2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste - I add more Salt and cayenne pepper to taste Instructions Blend everything either in food processor or by hand. Serve with pita wedges, a mound of olives, some crisp vegetables.
Make a sandwich Now, if you’d like to make the best veggie wrap or pita sandwich in the world, here’s how to do it: Spread hummus on inside halves of pita or on flour tortilla. Add fi nely diced veggies: maybe
Hummus with pita. RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER
cucumber, carrots, olives, avocado, jalapeno, sprouts, pickles, tomatoes, red onion, lettuce, radishes – whatever. Roasted red pepper hummus So easy - just stir in as much red roasted bell pepper, diced fi ne, as you like.
Good for you Chick peas contain fi ber, along with iron and calcium. Greek yogurt contains probiotics, good for gut health. Cumin and cayenne contain anti-oxidants.

SPORTS Doug Robertson to lead Mercy McAuley basketball as new head varsity coach Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Mercy McAuley has announced the appointment of Doug Robertson as new head varsity basketball coach. Robertson succeeds Nick Baltimore who stepped down and was the school's fi rst coach after the merger of Mother of Mercy and McAuley high schools. The Wolves were 39-11 in their fi rst two seasons, second in the Girls Greater Catholic League behind Mount Notre Dame. Robertson has over 15 years of basketball coaching experience and most recently served for two years as the varsity girls basketball coach and a social studies teacher at South Dearborn Community School Corporation. Prior to teaching and coaching at South Dearborn, he served as the varsity girls basketball coach for four years with Franklin County Community School Corporation, where he also taught social studies. He has also coached freshman girls basketball with Michigan City Area Schools, varsity girls basketball and softball with Covenant Christian Schools, varsity basketball and junior varsity softball at Bishop Noll Institute, and JV girls basketball at Andrean High School. “We are thrilled to welcome Doug to Mercy McAuley’s basketball program,” Denise Harvey, assistant principal for student aff airs said. “Doug brings tremendous experience and skills to our

program, and we are looking forward to an exciting 2020-21 season.” Robertson received his B.A. in History from Purdue University Northwest and his Master’s Degree in Sports Administration from Concordia University Irvine. He earned his teaching certifi cations from Bethel College. “I am excited for this new opportunity to continue the tradition of excellence at Mercy McAuley,” Robertson said. “I look forward to developing and growing the program and to learning more about the youth basketball programs in the area. Our hope is to produce a highly competitive, exciting, uptempo style of basketball."
Wyoming’s Walker commits to Belmont basketball Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Wyoming 2021 guard Isaiah Walker recently announced on Twitter that he has committed to Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. Over the past four months, Walker’s off er sheet ballooned to more than a dozen Division I programs after he led Wyoming to an undefeated regular season as a junior. “It can be stressful at times, but I know I‘m blessed to be in the position I’m in,” Walker told The Enquirer in May. “This is what I worked for and this is what I dreamed of, so I’m not gonna shy away from it now. I’m enjoying this time because I know a lot of kids don’t get this opportunity.” Walker averaged 25.6 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game and recorded 10 double-doubles for the 24-1 Cowboys. He had a career-high 40 points in a win over Finneytown Jan. 3, shot 16-of-18 from the fi eld in a 39-
point showing against Reading Jan. 17 and went for 37 points, 10 rebounds and fi ve assists in a sectional tournament victory over Aiken. He was named co-athlete of the year in the Cincinnati Hills League and the Southwest District Division II player of the year. On July 14, he was off ered by the Miami Redhawks. Belmont’s off er came six days earlier. “I decided I was going to use this season as my coming out party and I felt like I did a good job of doing that,” Walker said. “I used it as fuel and knew my time was coming.” Belmont is coming off a 26-7 season under fi rst-year head coach Casey Alexander. The Bruins won the Ohio Valley Conference championship to clinch their second-straight berth in the NCAA Tournament, which was ultimately canceled due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Belmont has qualifi ed for the NCAA Tournament in nine of the past 15 seasons.

Bam Booker of Winton Woods commits to play for Maryland Andrew will join older brother, Anthony “Tank” Booker as a Terrapin Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
FOREST PARK - Another highly sought-after Winton Woods High School player will move on to Division I college football as Andrew “Bam” Booker has committed to play at Maryland, where his older brother, Anthony “Tank” Booker plays. The younger Booker committed on his brother’s 19th birthday as his gift. “Tank” Booker played in three games for the Terrapins last season so is classifi ed as a redshirt freshman. The brothers could have three seasons to-
gether in College Park where Mike Locksley is in his second year as head coach. Previously, Locksley was at Alabama where he won the Broyles Award in 2018 as the nation’s top assistant. That was the year Saban and the Crimson Tide won the national championship. The Terps were 3-9 in Locksley’s fi rst season. Former Kentucky Wildcat head coach and Cincinnati assistant Joker Phillips is on Locksley’s staff and was a key part of the younger Booker’s commitment. “I’ve always loved Maryland,” Booker said. “I wanted to know who I was saying no to before I said yes. Ultimately, I always loved Maryland. That was kind of a no-brainer.” See BOOKER, Page 2B

On July 4, highly-touted La Salle 2022 running back Gi’Bran Payne released his top-10 on Twitter, a list that included the likes of the University of Alabama, Michigan, Wisconsin and Kentucky. Another big-time off er came in for the electrifying junior on Thursday, when the University of Notre Dame entered the fold. Payne announced the news on Twitter. Payne, tabbed as a four-star recruit by 247Sports, has over a dozen Division I programs on his off er sheet, including the University of Cincinnati, Boston College, Purdue, Louisville, Georgia tE and Iowa. He is ranked as the No. 10 running back in the nation for the Class of 2022 and the No. 5 overall recruit in Ohio. In 2019, Payne was a second-team Greater Catholic League-South and alldistrict selection. The sophomore ran for 790 yards and nine touchdowns while averaging over 10 yards per carry. He also found the end zone on three of his eight catches, fi nishing with 141 receiving yards. Payne had three 100yard rushing performances, including two in the postseason.

SCHOOL NEWS Warrior community continues 27-year-old tradition for Winton Woods’ graduates The Winton Woods’ community has a special way of showing Warrior graduates that it is proud of their accomplishments. During graduation week, a sea of blue and green ribbons have appeared on the fence on Winton Road near the high school for over 25 years. This year was no diff erent, thanks to Forest Park resident and Ribbon Committee organizer Rogie Vollmar and her group of dedicated volunteers. Over the two decades, they have worked hard to celebrate our Warriors with this special tradition. “We want to let the students know, we, the community, are very proud of them as well,” said Vollmar. “I have had Warrior alum come up to me to share how they still have their ribbon and upcoming graduates who are looking forward to receiving theirs. It means a lot to them and us.” The tradition began when Greenhills and Forest Park High Schools merged in 1992 to become Winton Woods High School. “We thought about what we could do to welcome the new graduates, and decided a display of ribbons would be a positive contribution so that others could see this neat new tradition we challenged ourselves to keep up over the years. This is a community eff ort.” Contributors to the graduate ribbons include people in the school community and school businesses. “This is not moms and dads, PTA members or teachers. This is the members of the community saying, ‘We see you and are so proud of you!’” Drew Jackson, Winton Woods City Schools
Princeton announces Glendale Elementary principal On Monday, July 13, the Princeton City School District’s Board of Education approved the hiring of Karen Harkness, M.Ed., as the new principal of Glendale Elementary School. Harkness previously served as an assistant principal for the past four years at Harkness North College Hill. “During the interview process, it became apparent that Mrs. Harkness possessed an incredible passion, determination, and instructional knowledge to make a positive impact at Glendale and throughout the district,” said Tom Burton, the superintendent of Princeton City Schools. Burton described Harkness as “an enthusiastic educator and leader who will add to an amazing team of teachers and support staff at Glendale. We look forward to having her leadership in our district for a long time.” After the Board of Education approved the recommendation of hiring Harkness, the superintendent and all who attended welcomed her to the district. Ms. Tonya West Wright, executive director of curriculum added, “Mrs. Harkness’ energy and passion to support the educational needs of each student make her a perfect fi t for the dynamic team of administrators in Princeton City Schools.” “I’m delighted to serve the families of Glendale Elementary and to work with a staff that is so committed to their students,” said Harkness. “Of course, with COVID-19, there will be challenges, but I am certain that our staff will continue to reach every student, every day.” Kelsey Bettman, Princeton City Schools

demonstrated a passion for making our community a better place in which to live with the Simon Lazarus, Jr., Human Relations Awards. One junior winner, four junior fi nalists, one senior winner and four senior fi nalists have been recognized for their exemplary volunteer accomplishments and awarded a cash prizes. Caitlin Broderick, a junior at Wyoming High School, was selected as one of the winners of the 2020 Simon Lazarus Jr., Human Relations Awards. This academic and volunteer role model epitomizes the essence of human relations work daily as both a participant and a leader in her community. She is moved by an innate desire to understand others, and in her own words, “lift up my voice on behalf of those without power --the criminalized, impoverished, women, people of color, children, and the disabled.” Caitlin has been profoundly shaped by youth mission experiences both in urban Chicago, where she learned about generational poverty and the disparities within the American legal system, and in Costa Rica, where she encountered fi rsthand the struggles of indigenous people, inspiring her environmental activism. She’s extremely proud of her role as an intern at the Federal Public Defender’s offi ce and her work with Project LEAD where she helped launch a twiceweekly, after-school tutoring program for Central American immigrants in Carthage, focusing on reading, English, homework help, and cultural assimilation. Her experience at the Public Defender’s offi ce encouraged her to assist those who can’t help themselves. Caitlin’s ultimate professional goal is to attend law school where she intends to become a public defender and an author. Another source of personal pride, Caitlin coordinated and led the Community Climate Change Rally for which she wrote an article and poem that were published in Wyoming’s community newsletter. Following the event, she led a discussion about climate change for a local youth group. Her great passion is writing, and she felt herself emerge as a leader through the process, culminating with her role as the featured rally speaker in front of several hundred school and community members. Some of Caitlin’s many other service interests include Project H.O.P.E. (Help Our Planet Earth), Relay for Life, food pantry work, Ohio Teen Ambassador Board, and A Characteristic Attitude, where she dresses up as a Disney princess at local charity events. She’s a member of Model United Nations, the National Honor Society, and helped lead a writing group to promote equal rights and social justice. Caitlin Broderick is a caring, community leader driven by her moral compass and integrity. She seeks to improve the immediate needs of people in distress as well as addressing systemic injustices. As one of her WHS faculty nominators eloquently stated, “Caitlin lives at the call from her faith for peace and justice for all.” Cathy Heldman, AJC Cincinnati
Northwest Local School District will offer free and reduced lunch Northwest Local School District announced that it will off er free and reduced priced meals for students unable to pay the full price of meals or milk served under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program. The Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines will be used to determine eligibility. Children from families whose annual income is at or below the federal guidelines are eligible for free and reduced-price meals. This year, Struble Elementary, Taylor Elementary, Pleasant Run Elementary, Pleasant Run Middle, & White Oak Middle School qualify for free breakfast and lunch. Students who attend these schools do NOT need to fi ll out an application unless they want to see if they are eligible for fee waivers. NWLSD students attending all other schools will need to fi ll out an application online at https://payschoolscentral.com/. (This is the same link used to pay school fees, so the same login credentials would be used.) If the student is not enrolled at one of the free buildings, the parent will need to complete an application to see if they qualify for free or reduced meals based upon income. Parents are encouraged to fi ll out their applications online in order to reduce exposure. Additional paper copies of applications are available at the principal’s offi ce in each school or at the central offi ce. Parents are required to submit complete applications. If any information is missing, the school cannot process the application. Households which currently receive Special Nutrition Assistance Program Benefi ts (SNAP, formally known as food stamps) or Ohio Works First (OWF) funds for a child, must provide the child’s name, the SNAP or OWF case number and signature of an adult household member on the application. Households that do not receive SNAP or OWF funds must provide the names of all household members, the last four digits of the Social Security Number of the adult signing the application or state “none” if the adult does not have a Social Security Number, the amount and source of income received by each household member (state the monthly income) and the signature of an adult household member. FREE HEALTH CARE: Families with children eligible for school meals may be eligible for free health care coverage through Medicaid and/or Ohio’s Healthy Start & Healthy Families programs. These programs include coverage for doctor visits, immunizations, physicals, prescriptions, dental, vision, mental health, substance abuse and more. Please call 1-800-324-8680 for more information or to request an application. Information can also be found on the web at http://jfs.ohio.gov/ohp/consumers/ familychild.stm. Anyone who has an Ohio Medicaid card is already receiving these services. The information provided on the application is confi dential and will only be used for the purpose to determine eligibil-
ity and may be verifi ed at any time during the school year by school or other program offi cials. To discourage the possibility of misrepresentation, the application forms contain a statement above the space for signature certifying that all information furnished is true and correct. Applications are being made in connection with the receipt of federal funds. Schools or other offi cials may check the information on the application at any time during the school year. Deliberate misrepresentation of information may subject the applicant to prosecution under applicable state and federal laws. Households will be notifi ed of the approval or denial of benefi ts. Foster children are categorically eligible for free meal benefi ts regardless of the household’s income. If a family has foster children living with them and wishes to apply for such meals or milk for them, contact the school for more information. Under the provision of the policy, Lisa Robison, Supervisor of Food Service, will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian disagrees with the decision on the application or the result of verifi cation, the decision may be discussed with the determining offi cial on an informal basis. If a formal appeal is desired, the household has the right to a fair hearing. A fair hearing can be requested either orally or in writing from: Christopher McKee Director of Business Operations 3240 Banning Road Cincinnati, OH 45239 Phone: (513) 923-1000 ext. 3904 Fax: (513) 923-3644 The policy contains an outline of the hearing procedure. Households may apply for benefi ts any time during the school year. If a household is not currently eligible and if the household size increases or income decreases because of unemployment or other reasons, the family should contact the school to fi le a new application. Such changes may make the children of the family eligible for free or reduced-price benefi ts if the family income falls at or below the levels shown above.

Since then, he added off ers from Boise State and California. before choosing Maryland July 29. Booker had 50 tackles for the Warriors his junior season, with 6.5 sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss. The Warriors were 6-3 last season and barely missed the OHSAA playoff s. He’s now ready to take on the Winton Woods season in their new league (Eastern Cincinnati Conference) while looking ahead to competing in the Big Ten in 2021. “It feels great,” said of his future at Maryland. “I know I’m going to be going against the best of the best every week. I need to get my mind ready so I can dom-

The Warriors have been practicing since June and are slated to begin right in the thick of things as they open against defending Division III champion Trotwood-Madison Aug. 28, followed by defending Division II champion La Salle Sept. 4. Winton Woods was able to defeat the state champion Lancers during the 2019 regular season. Booker now has his college choice out of the way and can focus on being a senior. “I’m just happy I picked the right school,” Booker said. “Now I’m not only fi ghting for myself and my family and my high school team, I’m fi ghting for my college team too. It’s a great feeling.”

Burchenal believes education rewrites futures, co-chairs $3 million CISE Campaign Terrace Park resident Sam Burchenal is co-chairing the CISE Annual Campaign during its 40th anniversary year. Catholic Inner-city Schools Education fund has been a life-changer for thousands of inner-city children over the last four decades with a rich history of Rewriting Futures through education. “I was moved by the mission of CISE and inspired by the Cincinnati business leaders who have been involved,” said Burchenal. “Community leaders like Wich Ach, Susan and Joe Pichler, Harry Fath, George and Kim Vincent and others continue to believe that providing a values-based education is a proven way to help children grow out of economic diffi culty and into productive citizens.” “CISE has grown from 8 to 10 schools and serves 2600 students, Pre-K to high school. Under the direction of former P&G executive, Mabe Rodriquez, the mission has remained the same, and the goal is to reach more children,” he continues. “A Catholic education changed my life. These kids don’t have the privileges many of us had and CISE schools become more than a place to learn. They

off er structure, friendships, and opportunities.” The founding purpose of CISE was to secure tuition for inner-city children and provide a welcoming, safe environment in neighborhood parish schools. CISE has evolved to take a more active role with the schools and with community partners. In the last two years, CISE has educated 28% more grade school students and provided resources assisting the transition into local Catholic high schools. 94% live in poverty, 85% are
minority, and 70% are not Catholic.” “Thanks to our donors, CISE provides a nurse in every school, behavioral health support, math intervention, summer engagement and a healthy weekend meal,” explains Rodriguez. “As we have had to pivot to deal with remote learning, the challenges have been many. Internet service is not available to many of our families. Mental health issues are a concern. CISE has stepped up to bridge these gaps as best we can.” Burchenal, a CISE trustee since 2019, is impressed with the stewardship of the organization. “Eighty-three cents of every dollar goes directly to tuition and program support,” explains Burchenal. “Our offi ce team is small but mighty and the board is highly engaged.” “I believe there is no better way to impact the lives of the children in Cincinnati who come from poverty than to give them a chance at what I was so blessed to be able to experience,” he continues. “A leading member in our organization, Jim Hagerty, has a great quote: ‘A proven solution to poverty is education’. If you want to have a positive impact on a person’s life, what better time to make this eff ort than when they are still growing into the people they will one day become?” Larry Kyte and Cynthia Kenny are cochairing with Mr. Burchenal. The campaign goal is $3MM and it runs through January 2021. For information, contact Debbie Weitz at 513.263.3471 or dweitz@CatholicAOC.org or visit CISEKids.org.

Smith has also been active with several nonprofi t organizations, including Cincy Afterschool – Academy of World Languages as program facilitator; AmeriCorps Corporation for National and Community Service; and a volunteer trainer for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Coalition (VITA). “I have always endeavored to ensure that those who are routinely marginalized are given not just attention, but a voice,” he states. “This, in my opinion, is critical in any organization that has as its aim the amelioration of social ills. I’ve seen fi rsthand the amazing work that Franciscan Ministries does on a daily basis, and look forward to being a part of furthering the mission going forward.” Smith holds a Master’s of Arts degree in Education Studies from the

Delta Gateway Foundation’s grant supports Franciscan Ministries The Delta Gateway Foundation recently awarded a $1,000 grant to Franciscan Ministries, in support of the organization’s work with area homeless. The Delta Gateway Foundation is a philanthropic organization that supports educational and social initiatives that empower individuals, particularly women of African descent. The grant supports Franciscan Ministries’ Tamar’s Center, a day center that provides shelter and care for women who suff er from addiction and are being or are at risk of being exploited through human sex traffi cking. Many of these women are homeless and many are struggling with

the added challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic. “People who are experiencing homelessness are very vulnerable to this pandemic,” states Elaine Ward, executive director for Franciscan Ministries. “There is almost no place where they can wash their hands or use the toilet. They don’t have the means to buy hand sanitizers or wipes. However, they know they can come to Tamar’s Center to get a bag of food and supplies. In fact, we continue to see increasing numbers of people coming to the Center for assistance.” While the COVID-19 outbreak forced Tamar’s Center to close the day shelter program, staff continued to serve women in need by distributing basic food and hygiene items to a population desperately in need. “While the lock down caused us to serve in new ways, we continue to embrace our mission of assisting some of the most vulnerable populations,” explains Estelle McNair, director of Tamar’s Center. “Because our clients know they can trust us, they are spreading the word to others in need,”
says McNair. “People feel safe coming here and know they will be helped.” The Delta Gateway Foundation grant will be used for cleaning supplies that enable Tamar’s Center to continue serving those most in need. Ginny Hizer, Franciscan Ministries, Inc.
Mercy Health – West Hospital named to new best hospitals list Mercy Health – West Hospital earned the number fi ve spot in the nation and the number one spot in Ohio on the new “Best Hospitals for America” ranking from the Lown Institute, a nonpartisan health care think tank. The Lown Institute Hospitals Index measured how well 3282 American hospitals cared for their patients and also gauged the contributions they made to the country and their communities in determining the rankings. The rankings use three main criteria. First, patient outcomes: a hospital’s patient mortality, safety, and satisfaction record. Second, civic
leadership: the degree to which a hospital treats patients with the same income and other demographics as its surrounding community; how much it contributes in community benefi t, from providing charity care to building and operating

These are best eats (and drinks) of Cincinnati Best bistros
Rasputin Todd Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Hey, Cincinnati. You hungry? Us, too. We recently said a fond farewell to Polly Campbell when she retired after 23 years of writing about food and dining for The Enquirer. In her last year or so, we sent her on a ton of foodie quests to fi nd all the best eats all around the Cincinnati (and Northern Kentucky!) area. As a thank you to YOU for subscribing to The Enquirer and Cincinnati.com and supporting her work throughout the years ... AND for sticking with us as we turn to our new chapter of food and dining coverage ... We rounded up all the best-of lists from recent memory into one tasty spot for you to peruse and critique. From the best fried chicken and tacos to the best restaurants in all the land, here are the best eats (and drinks) of Cincinnati. Enjoy. :)
Best fried chicken Fried chicken is one of those dishes, like burgers and barbecue, that often comes with superlatives. The Hitching Post on Kellogg Avenue has had a sign for years claiming “world’s best chicken,” for instance. It’s funny, because it’s a dish with few variations. But these are the ones that do it best. The winners: (Top 3) The Eagle in Over-the-Rhine; Libby’s Southern Comfort in Covington; Ron’s Roost in Bridgetown. (Honorable mentions) Richies; Colonial Cottage in Erlanger; The Golden Lamb in Lebanon; The Hitching Post in the East End.
Best tacos Oh, that time we went on a taco quest through 25 (!!!) taco joints around town. Here’s who had the best at each price point, from $1 to $5+. The winners: ($1-$2) Tortilleria Garcia in Springdale and College Hill. ($2-$3) Taco loco taco truck in Pleasant Ridge; La Torta Loca in Florence; Lita’s in Florence. ($3-$4) Mazunte in Madisonville and
A bistro is sophisticated in their execution but unfussy in presentation, dishes with soul. Not fi ne dining, but not bar food, either. There’s probably an excellent burger on the menu. And not Italian, because that’s a diff erent list (see below). There are many restaurants that fall into the category. These are the ones that do it best. The winners: Red Feather in Oakley, Senate in OTR and Blue Ash, Otto’s in Covington, Zula Bistro in OTR, Panino in OTR, Coppin’s in Covington, Commonwealth in Covington, Tano Bistro in Loveland.
Best Favorite beer Double burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, pickles, bacon and a side of fries, pictured, Friday, May 1, at OTR Chili on Elm Street in Cincinnati. KAREEM ELGAZZAR/THE ENQUIRER
Downtown. ($4-$5) Bakersfi eld in Over-theRhine. ($5 and up) Frida’s in Covington.
Best burgers From cheap to fancy, it’s a great time to fi nd your new favorite burger. Eat it in your car, take it home, take it to a park. No matter how you do it, these burgers are ready for your to-go order. The winners: Wendy’s, Frisch’s, The Turf Club, Chandler’s Burger Bistro, Sonder Brewing/BrewRiver, Bru Burger, Tickle Pickle, Mad Mike’s, Delwood Cafe and Mama’s Grill.
Best restaurants These are the best of the best, the high-quality hitters. They are not just options for home meal replacement. They are full service, off er a wine list and cocktails, take reservations and serve a varied menu. The winners: (Fine dining) Restaurant L Downtown (now closed), Boca Downtown, Orchids Downtown, Jean Robert’s Table Downtown. (Steak) Jeff Ruby, Precinct, Carlo and Johnny. (Upscale Italian) Sotto Downtown,
After six rounds of fan voting, 66,586 votes tallied, 259 beers from 52 breweries defeated ... we crowned our winner of Cincinnati’s Favorite Beer 2020. A note for sticklers: We don’t say “best” beer because we all have diff erent tastes and opinions, this NCAA-style bracket was done by popular vote through several rounds of fan voting. The winners (Final Four): 1. Backbeat Coff ee Blonde Ale from Big Ash. 2. Suh, Brah from Streetside. 3. Gavel Banger from Taft’s. 4. Octoberfest from Sam Adams.
Best Italian
Mazunte's al pastor, carnitas and barbacoa tacos photographed at Mazunte Centro on Main Street in downtown Cincinnati on Friday, March 6. MEG VOGEL/THE ENQUIRER
Nicola’s in OTR, Primavista in East Price Hill. (Elevated ethnic) Mita’s Downtown, Phoenician Taverna in Mason, French Crust in OTR. (Contemporary and locavore) Please in OTR, Bouquet in Covington, Salazar in OTR.
Everyone has their own spot on the Italian cuisine spectrum that means “good Italian restaurant” to them. So this list of the best Italian in Cincinnati comes in categories, from best allaround to best old friend. The winners: (Best all-around) Forno in Hyde Park and Montgomery. (Most sincerely authentic) Sotto Downtown. (Best ratio of price to quality) Pepp and Dolores in OTR. (Best fi ne-dining) Nicola’s in OTR. (Best old friend) Vincenzo’s in Sharonville. (Best old-school Italian American) TIE: Scotti’s Downtown and Pompilio’s in Newport.
