n Oct. 11, 2019, Drew Finch laid in agony on the 16-yard line of Mariemont’s high school football fi eld. Just a few moments earlier, a hit resulted in a compound fracture to the Finneytown quarterback’s left leg – bone had pierced through his skin, making for a graphic scene for training staff and teammates. A shaken up group of teammates sat on their helmets. Coaches took off their headsets trying to collect themselves from the severity of the injury. Finch looked at back-up quarterback Caleb Drain and urged him to warm up. “He was only concerned about those guys fi nishing the game and trying to win than his own leg. He’s truly one of the most selfl ess kids you could ever imagine,” Finneytown head football coach and athletic director Gerald Warmack told The Enquirer in October. Two days after the injury, the Mariemont football team visited Finch at Children’s Hospital to show their support with a care package. “Their kindness and taking the eff ort to see him and putting the basket together – it was overwhelming,” Finch’s mother, Amy Catanzaro said. After the initial shock of the setback came the realization that it was time to recover. The injury set in motion a physically and mentally grueling eightmonth span for Finch. He knew immediately he would miss his junior swimming season that winter, then set his sights on returning for Finneytown’s spring baseball season. For a teenager used to playing sports year-round, the sudden shift to immobility was tough to swallow. “It was diff erent. I’ve never been in that situation where I couldn’t get up and do anything. As soon as I could go to physical therapy about two weeks after the surgery, I was like ‘it’s time to go,’” Finch said. “I wanted to be ready for baseball season and that was a realistic possibility. It was my number 1 goal at the time. The rehab was draining. Physical therapy at Beacon Orthopaedics was once a week, followed by nightly at-home workouts for two months to regain muscle mass in his leg just so he could walk again. By March, Finch had worked his way back to being medically cleared to play baseball that spring. Then, life threw another curveball in the novel coro-

A Colerain Township employee passed away this week after serving 18 years with the Parks Department. Jason Haines fell ill while working at Groesbeck Park Tuesday morning. Fire and EMS crews from Station 26 responded to the scene and transported him to Mercy West, where he later passed away. “He showed up for work on Tuesday, he was happy and talkative and the guys joked around in the shop with him before they all headed out to their diﬀ erent assignments for the day,” Tawanna Wilson Molter wrote in the township’s newsletter. “No one said goodbye. Everything was normal.” Haines was known for his generosity, playing softball at Turner’s, coaching soccer, and his love for food at North College Hill Bakery.

navirus pandemic. Finneytown had started baseball practice when spring sports were initially postponed. Then, the hammer dropped in April when spring sports were oﬃ cially canceled. It was back to the weight room. As a young senior at just 16 years old, he put on 25 pounds of muscle and sprouted up to 6-foot-3. He didn’t play summer baseball, as he shifted gears back to football training for a season that many believed wouldn’t happen. With each day of practice came more and more doubt as contact sports were not yet cleared by the state. Would he ever play football again? Finch began to wonder if that broken leg would be the ﬁ nal time he took a snap. “Everyone was unsure,” Finch said. “All of us stayed positive and we wanted to be ready if and when that ruling was made. We were ready to make the most of it.” Then recently, Gov. Mike DeWine announced the state could move forward with contact sports, giving the green light for Finch’s long-awaited return to See FINCH, Page 2A

The Board of Trustees decided to lower the fl ags to half-staff on all township facilities until Saturday. “We’ve lost a friend,” Molter wrote. “We are burying yet another co-worker way too young.” He was survived by his mother Bev and children Korrin and Kory, according to the township. His girlfriend’s family created a GoFundMe account Thursday to help raise donations for funeral expenses. Within an hour, more than $500 has been raised. The overall goal is $5,000. “He was the person we always prayed Jen would fi nd, and they fi nally found each other only to be taken away entirely too soon,” Danielle Sexton wrote on the account page. “Our hearts are completely broken. Our goal here is to help relieve as much stress from Jen and his kids as possible.”

COVID-19: New program brings 175K tests to Hamilton County Oﬃ cials will focus areas that need tests the most

To request testing for your community or organization, go online to healthcollab.org or call 513-618-3656.

Fill out this form, or you’ll get a knock on your door

A new program is expected to provide 175,000 COVID-19 tests in Hamilton County from now through the end of the year. Test and Protect is a partnership with the Health Collaborative that will focus on providing tests in the areas that need them most. Organizations or community leaders can make a request for testing, but health offi cials will also be looking for hotspots or areas where people are most vulnerable. That could mean testing grocery store employees, fi refi ghters or other front-line workers. It could mean testing at a nursing home or other group living facility. It could mean testing at a homeless shelter. “It’s going to be data-driven,” said Hamilton County Health Commissioner Greg Kesterman. “We’re going to look at hotspots, look at where we need testing, and move into those locations to make sure there’s access to testing.” Hamilton County is devoting $18 million to the new program, part of the county’s CARES Act funding.

If you don’t want a visit from a census taker, local offi cials are urging you to go online to fi ll out the form yourself. Hamilton County’s response rate is 65.9% so far. That’s down from 67.2% at this point in 2010. “That means a greater share of nonresponding homes will need to be visited by census takers,” said Hamilton County Board of Commissioners President Denise Driehaus, “an especially challenging task now that the census bureau has shortened the door-knocking time frame by four weeks.” Census takers will be knocking on doors until Sept. 30, Driehaus said, but she urged people to fi ll out the form online to avoid a visit altogether. The form is available at my2020census.gov. “I’ve done it. It takes about fi ve minutes,” Driehaus said. “If you don’t want someone knocking on your door, then fi ll out the form. “It is so easy, and we desperately need to be counted in order to receive the federal support that we have been using

Man accused of multiple kidnappings, robberies in Norwood and St. Bernard Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Toledo man was indicted Thursday after documents say he and another suspect kidnapped a woman, held her at gunpoint and threatened to kill her in Saint Bernard. Tommy Lee Pickett Glover Jr., 22, faces six counts of aggravated robbery and fi ve counts of kidnapping, according to court records. Documents state Glover and another suspect got into a woman’s vehicle on Sullivan Avenue just before 9 p.m. on June 24. The woman was sitting in the driver seat. Glover sat in the front passenger seat and put a gun in her face, demanding her to give them all her money. The woman handed over 10 $1 bills, documents state. Glover ordered her to drive to the bank, and the woman told him she did not have any cards. “If you’re lying to me I will kill you,” Glover told her, per court documents. Glover and the other suspect then exited the vehicle and walked eastbound on Jeff erson Avenue to Greenlee Avenue, documents say. The woman was released, unharmed. According to court documents, similar incidents occurred in Saint Bernard and in Norwood, and a suspect was developed. One of the Norwood incidents involved another kidnapping of two people on June 28, which documents state was caught on Chase Bank ATM footage. The woman from the June 24 incident identifi ed Glover as one of the suspects, documents state. Glover is currently being held at the Hamilton County jail on a $1.5 million bond, according to jail records. He is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 1. Glover’s attorney could not be immediately reached Thursday afternoon for comment.

Colerain man arrested in shooting of 14-year-old during basketball game Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Colerain Township man was arrested Aug. 21 in connection with a shooting that injured a 14-year-old boy who was playing basketball. Brenden Overstreet, 21, is charged with felonious assault. Police said Overstreet had “direct involvement” in the shooting that took place Aug. 7 on Menominee Drive about

half a mile away from Overstreet’s reported residence. According to court documents, the 14-yearold was playing basketOverstreet ball in a driveway with several other people when shots were ﬁ red at group. Investigators did not say that Overstreet ﬁ red the gun, only that he “knowingly” participated in the shooting.

Investigators said Overstreet’s vehicle was caught on video leaving the scene, and the victim identiﬁ ed Overstreet. The two knew each other through friends, police said. Two homes were struck with bullets during the incident, investigators reported. Overstreet was arrested in Dayton Friday night. He is being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center on a $500,000 bond.

high school sports. Over recent weeks of practice, Finneytown has been full-go as it gears up for its season-opener against Madeira. Finch has always carried himself with quiet confi dence and the charisma of a leader, but he’s more upbeat now as Finneytown gets going. There’s a somewhat sense of normalcy, which has been severely lacking since last October. Outside of football, Finch is at the top of his class at Finneytown and is on track to possibly be Valedictorian in the spring. He dreams of being able to play football at the collegiate level while studying biology before a career in the medical fi eld. Those aspirations are on hold for now, though. For the fi rst time since last fall, Finch has a game to prepare for. He said taking the fi eld Friday night against Madeira might be odd without fans, but it will be emotional given what he’s had

After sneak attack tax, local Ohio lawmakers agree quirky law needs fi xing The contract “was increased for the expansion of services related to comprehensive planning for Great Parks including increased communications with the Great Parks CEO and GSG staff related to comprehensive planning,” Palmeter said in an email. Private companies would be so proud of the corporate-speak response. But this is the public’s business. Great Parks offi cials have already said they’re going for a levy in 2021. It’s why accountability and reform are critical. These problems can’t happen again.

Jason Williams Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Greater Cincinnati state lawmakers are calling for a higher degree of accountability as Hamilton County parks leaders continue to refuse to take responsibility for their sneaky attempt to levy a tax this year. Brigid Kelly and Tom Brinkman, state representatives from Cincinnati’s East Side, told Politics Extra that they are separately working on potential legislation that would bust up the power of public boards like the one that oversees Great Parks. “You have to be able to hold somebody accountable, and it really has to come down to an elected group,” said Brinkman, a Republican from Mount Lookout. Kelly, a Hyde Park Democrat, is exploring a possible change to a 103-yearold law that gives a county probate judge complete authority to appoint all members of a county parks board. A parks board is the only known county-level board in which all of its members are appointed by one elected offi cial. Meanwhile, Brinkman is considering revisiting a bill he introduced in 2018 calling for elected offi cials to have the fi nal say on whether any local board can levy a tax. The parks board is among a handful of local boards that has the power to put a levy on the ballot without fi rst seeking elected offi cials’ approval. The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, SORTA and The Port also can levy their own tax, but at least multiple elected offi cials make appointments to those boards. House Majority Leader Bill Seitz, a Green Township Republican, said he fi rst wants to hear from the Ohio Association of Probate Judges to gauge whether lawmakers should make changes. “I’m not unwilling to revisit the issue, but I’d like to remind everybody that it is an 88-county deal,” Seitz said. Any legislative action likely wouldn’t happen until at least next year. Republican Probate Judge Ted Winkler and his Democratic opponent in the November election, Pavan Parikh, have

each said the state law needs to change to balance the power. No one is saying the Great Parks board is corrupt. Winkler and Seitz both believe parks leaders learned their lesson from the surprise vote in July to put a levy on the November ballot. They commended the parks board for reversing the decision this month and scrapping the levy for this year.

But there’s still no sign accountability is going to come from within. Great Parks leaders have sidestepped questions about exactly who exactly should be held accountable for the original decision – with no plan in place and no public vetting process – to put a 1.8 mill levy on the November ballot. Ginger Warner is the only person on the ﬁ ve-member parks board who bears no responsibility. She was absent from both votes in July, but Warner was present at the Aug. 5 board meeting and supported reversing the levy decision. Chairman Marcus Thompson, Buck Niehoﬀ , Joe Seta and Bill Burwinkel all voted in favor of putting the levy on the ballot and then also supported revoking it. Curiously, there remains little explanation as to why Great Parks CEO Todd Palmeter increased a lobbyist’s contract by 70 percent some 31⁄ 2 weeks before the board initially voted on July 6 to pursue a levy. If the parks are in such a budget crunch, why did it increase Downtownbased Government Strategies Group’s contract from $5,000 to $8,500 a month?

• It’s now offi cially known that the FBI is investigating Jamie Schwartz regarding the money that went missing from Congressman Steve Chabot‘s campaign last year. The campaign released a letter from the FBI confi rming the federal investigation is focused Schwartz, and that Chabot himself was a “victim.” Meanwhile, the Republican’s opponent, Kate Schroder, has an ad out saying, in part, that Chabot “is facing a grand jury investigation for $123,000 in missing campaign money.” That’s not true, and the Chabot campaign is threatening a lawsuit if Schroder’s team does not take down the ad. • Is Greg Hartmann trying to resurrect his political career? Insiders are abuzz about why the former Hamilton County commissioner came back to run the GOP’s fi ght against the now-foiled defund-the-police city ballot initiative. Hartmann had been laying low since he withdrew his name from consideration for a U.S. attorney job in December 2018. He told The Enquirer’s That’s So Cincinnati podcast this week that he’s not ruling out a return to public offi ce, but didn’t say what job he’s interested in. One possibility: Hartmann could be trying to position himself to be appointed as Joe Deters‘ successor if the long-time prosecutor wins re-election this fall.

No employer-sponsored retirement plan? Your other options

Allworth Advice Amy Wagner & Nathan Bachrach Guest columnists

Question: Daniel in Cincinnati: How should someone without a 401(k) save for retirement? My 25-year-old son just started a new job, but he doesn’t have access to one. A If you’re a regular reader of our column, you know that we repeatedly promote taking full advantage of any employer-sponsored retirement plan (such as a 401(k) and/or Roth 401(k)). But the reality is, just like your son, not everyone has access. According to the American Retirement Association, more than ﬁ ve million U.S. employers do not oﬀ er such a plan to their employees. However, thankfully, there are alternative ways to save for the future. One option is to save in a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA). In most cases, this type of account is funded with pre-tax money which will lower his taxable income. He’ll then pay ordinary income taxes on withdrawals in re-

tirement. The 2020 contribution limit is $6,000 since he’s younger than age 50. An even better option – given his young age and the fact that tax rates are at historically-low levels – is to save in a Roth IRA. This version of an IRA is funded with after-tax money and grows tax free. (Note: the $6,000 annual IRA limit applies to both a traditional IRA and Roth IRA combined.) If he’s able to save more than $6,000 a year, an additional option is to save in a “taxable brokerage account.” But the name shouldn’t scare him (or you) away. Because, at some point, Uncle Sam gets his money no matter what kind of retirement account we’re talking about! In this case, he wouldn’t get an upfront tax break like with a traditional IRA nor would he get any tax-free growth like with a Roth IRA. Instead, once he sells any long-term gains, they’ll be subject to the long-term “capital gains” tax rate – which has historically always been lower than ordinary income tax rates. Plus, there are no penalties for withdrawing money early from a taxable account. All three of these types of accounts can be opened through any brokerage ﬁ rm, such as Vanguard, TDAmeritrade, or Fidelity.

Here’s the Allworth Advice: The lack of an employer-sponsored retirement plan should never be an excuse not to save for retirement. We’re glad you’re helping him explore his other options. Q: Amy from Springdale: I have a Flexible Spending Account through work and so does a friend of mine. She said that she’s been using hers for over-the-counter medicine. But my employer said I couldn’t. Do you know what might be going on? A: Let’s break this into two parts. First, it’s true that Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) now allow tax-free withdrawals for over-the-counter medications without a prescription. Prior to the passage of the CARES Act earlier this year, this was not the case (you had to have a prescription). Second, this change is not automatic for FSAs (it is automatic for Health Savings Accounts) which is likely why your situation diﬀ ers from your friend’s. Individual employers must adapt their FSA documents to add this new provision. In your case, your employer has either decided to not add the provision yet – or has chosen not to add it at all. The Allworth Advice is that we highly recommend consulting with your Human Resources department. Hopefully they can clarify your employer’s position. While you’re at it, ask if your FSA

has a ‘grace period’ that extends the amount of time during which you can use money that’s allotted for a single calendar year. The IRS recently announced employers could choose to extend grace periods for 2019 money through the end of 2020.

How to vote in the 2020 election in Ohio: A step-bystep guide

Oct. 12-16 h 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Oct. 19-23 h 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 24 h 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 25 h 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Oct. 26-30 h 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 31 h 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 1 h 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Nov. 2

What are the hours for Election Day?

COLUMBUS - So you want to pick the next president of the United States of America? Or you want to pick the next state lawmaker, county prosecutor or sheriﬀ ? The general election is Nov. 3, but there are a few steps you must take before that date to ensure your vote counts.

Polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 3.

Where do I vote? You can check your polling location online or by calling your county board of elections. It’s possible that locations could change because of COVID-19 concerns, so it never hurts to double-check.

Register to vote The fi rst step is registering to vote. The deadline to register to vote is Oct. 5. County boards of elections will be open until 9 p.m. that day to accept registrations. More than 7.8 million Ohioans are registered to vote already. You can check to see if you are registered to vote at voterlookup.ohiosos.gov . Make sure you use your legal name. For example, search for Jessica Balmert instead of Jessie. If you aren’t registered to vote, if you have changed your name or if you are registered under an old address, you can register online at voteohio.gov. To register online, you need an Ohio driver’s license or Ohio identifi cation card number. If you don’t have either number, don’t worry. You can still register to vote, but you will need to fi ll out a paper form and send it to your county board of elections .

Who can vote in Ohio? Here are the criteria for voting in Ohio: h You are a citizen of the United States. h You will be at least 18 years old on or before the day of the general election. h You will be a resident of Ohio for at least 30 days immediately before the election. h You are not incarcerated (in jail or in prison) for a felony conviction. h You have not been declared incompetent for voting purposes by a probate court. h You have not been permanently disenfranchised for violations of election laws.

What happens if you don’t register to vote by Oct. 5? If you are not registered to vote, your vote will not count. If you are registered under a diff erent address, you will be asked to cast a provisional ballot. A provisional ballot is one that doesn’t count until election offi cials complete some additional verifi cation.

Request an absentee ballot So you’ve registered to vote, what’s next? There are two ways to vote in Ohio: in person or via the mail. In-person voting can be done early (as soon as Oct. 6) or on Election Day: Nov. 3. Anyone who votes early in Ohio – whether via the mail or in-person – casts an absentee ballot. The term “absentee” simply means you will be “absent” from your polling location on Election Day. If you want to vote via the mail, you must request an absentee ballot. You cannot do this online. You must fi ll out a paper application. How do you get that form? There are several options: h You can fi ll out an application for an absentee ballot online, print it out and send it to your county board of elections. En español: solicitud de papeleta de voto en ausencia. h Around Labor Day, the Ohio secretary of state’s offi ce – which oversees elections in the state – will send all registered voters an application in the mail. You can fi ll that out and send it to your county board of elections. h You can call your county board of elections and they will send you an application to fi ll out and return. h Some get-out-the-vote groups will send applications in the mail. Some even fi ll out basic information, such as your name and address. As long as the form matches the state’s application, you can use it. Again, you must return the completed form to the county board of elections.

When can I request an absentee ballot? Now. There’s no need to wait. Your application must arrive at the

county board of election by noon on Oct. 31 to receive an early ballot. But you shouldn’t wait until the last minute. More people will likely vote via the mail this year because of the novel coronavirus, so it’s best to send that application in early.

Do I need to pay for postage? Yes. That could change but currently, you must pay for that stamp.

Where do I mail my application? Hamilton County Board of Elections 4700 Smith Road Cincinnati, OH 45212 Butler County Board of Elections 1802 Princeton Road, Suite 600 Hamilton, OH 45011 Clermont County Board of Elections 76 S.

If you want to vote in person There are two ways to vote in person. One is early voting. The other is on Election Day.

What’s the schedule for early voting? Ohioans can vote at their county board of elections, starting Oct. 6. Here are the hours and dates: h 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 6-Oct. 9;

Please wear a mask or face covering to vote for the protection of the poll workers. If you do not have a mask, you will be oﬀ ered one at your polling location. If you refuse to wear a mask, you will be asked to vote curbside. “No one will be denied their right to vote,” Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose said in a statement.

Can I vote curbside? Curbside voting is an option for those who are physically unable to enter a polling location – either during early voting or on Election Day. State election offi cials recommend specifi c parking and signage that indicates where you can vote. It’s helpful to bring another person who can inform election offi cials inside that you wish to vote outside. You will be asked to wear a mask and use hand sanitizer.

What safety precautions can I expect at the polls? Poll workers are required to wear masks and wash their hands regularly. Voting machines and e-pollbooks will be cleaned. You can vote curbside if you would prefer to not enter the building.

When will I receive my absentee ballot? Local boards of elections will mail out absentee ballots to those who have requested one starting Oct. 6.

I ﬁ lled out my absentee ballot. When is the deadline to mail it in? Your absentee ballot – the form you ﬁ ll out with your pick for candidates – must be postmarked to your county board of elections by Nov. 2. Any ballot received after Nov. 13 will not be counted, even if it was postmarked by Nov. 2. Again, it’s best not to wait until the last minute.

I don’t want to mail in my absentee ballot. Do I have another option? You can drop off your absentee ballot at your county board of elections through 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 3 – either in person or using the dropbox. You cannot drop off your absentee ballot at your polling location. If you requested an absentee ballot and choose to vote in person on Election Day instead, you will fi ll out a provisional ballot. A provisional ballot is one that doesn’t count until election offi cials complete some additional verifi cation. In this case, they would check to make sure you didn’t cast two ballots: the absentee and the provisional.

Spending more time in the kitchen these days? Try ‘no recipe’ cooking Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

It’s funny how things work out. Like many of you, during this pandemic, I’m not shopping as much as I usually do. So the testing of recipes has slowed down. By the same token, some of the ones you’ve requested are recipes shared previously. It all works out, yes? Before I get into recipes today, I wanted to share some thoughts about the apron poem I published

recently. Jeri R. collects aprons from around the world. “But the special ones to me are those my maternal grandmother crocheted,” she said. How about you? What’s your apron story? Also, I can’t share Katie Pettit’s hot milk cake yet. I had a couple questions after going over the recipe and I’m waiting on her to answer. I promise, though, it will be forthcoming. Now with all this cooking you’ve been doing, maybe you’re up to trying “no recipe” cooking. These easy and delish “no recipe” roasted chicken recipes and timely tips for preserving basil will get you started.

Too much basil? Freeze it! Basil paste:

“No recipe” roasted chicken with summer vegetables and herbs.

Make a paste of 2 cups basil leaves and a tiny bit of olive oil.

PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Freeze as a base for pesto, or to add to soups and stews.

Layer basil with Parmesan or Romano: Make layers of basil and shredded cheese, ending with cheese. Basil will turn lighter green and both will flavor each other. Freeze

‘No recipe’ roasted chicken with summer vegetables and herbs Basil and cheese layered for freezer. and use in pastas, butters, pizza, breads, etc.

Libby Frank’s no recipe roasted chicken ﬁ ngers wrapped in bacon Libby is neighbor to son Shane and daughter in law, Courtney. Recently granddaughter Eva had “the best bacon wrapped chicken” at Libby’s. I asked Libby for the recipe. She chuckled and said “no recipe, just cut up chicken breasts into ﬁ ngers, sprinkle with salt and pepper, wrap in bacon and brush with barbecue sauce. Roast at 375 until cooked through. It’s a favorite with my kids.” Well, there you go – another no recipe dish perfect for a busy day.

Right now, I’m harvesting tomatoes, onions and potatoes. Seasonal veggies make this a satisfying and easy supper. Use other chicken pieces, too. Just know white meat cooks faster than dark.

Potatoes, peeled and cut into nice chunks (not too large or they won’t be done soon enough) 1 big onion, quartered Instructions

Ingredients

Preheat oven to 450.

9x13” pan, sprayed

Scatter vegetables on bottom of pan.

Chicken thighs with skin and bone – as many as you like and will ﬁ t in the pan

Drizzle with olive oil, a bit of lemon juice, salt and pepper. Strip leaves from a couple sprigs of oregano and sprinkle all over. Or do the same with dried oregano, but go easy as it’s stronger.

Olive oil Lemon juice Salt and pepper Fresh or dried oregano Tomatoes, quartered (or use whole cherry/grape tomatoes)

Put chicken on top of veggies. Do the same as you did with veggies – olive oil, lemon juice, seasonings and oregano. Roast until chicken is done, 35-40 minutes. Skin will be nice and crisp.

SPORTS Which GCL-South football team makes a tourney run? Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Two teams from the Greater Catholic League-South played for Ohio state championships last December in Canton with La Salle High School winning a Division II state title and Elder fi nishing as Division I state runner-up. La Salle returns many from the 2019 Lancer team that rolled deep in Canton, while Elder will need some young players to step up and fi ll big shoes. The GCL-South continues to be a regular visitor to state fi nals with Moeller winning the Division I tile in 2012 and 2013, La Salle taking Division II in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2019, St. Xavier winning DI in 2016 and Elder fi nishing as last year’s runner-up. Here’s how the fearsome four stack up for 2020.

La Salle's Jaymar Hargrove-Mundy catches a pass, Thursday, Aug. 6. PHOTOS BY TONY TRIBBLE/FOR THE ENQUIRER

La Salle defense loaded with DI college talent Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

MONFORT HEIGHTS - It could be said that the 2020 La Salle High School football team is an embarrassment of riches returning a roster full of players that held the Ohio Division II state championship trophy high in Canton last December. However, neither La Salle’s supporters nor their players are the slightest bit embarrassed and the only thing the Lancers are truly rich in is talent, much of it earned through hard work, dedication and perspiration. The team that throttled former La Salle coach Nate Moore’s Massillon Washington squad 34-17 is back with the same edge and a new mission: protect and repeat. “We’re still doing the same things we did last year, playing guys both ways,” La Salle head coach Pat McLaughlin said. “Even though it’s a shortened season, it’s a longer playoff . We have a lot of guys that have played a lot of games. We’ve also got a lot of guys that are very smart and they understand we have to do what we did last year in order to have success.” That equation involves putting the time and work in that leads to championships. Championships lead to phone calls and visits from college coaches. It also leads to McLaughlin’s phone perpetually buzzing with a text, voice mail or call. Helping the Lancers coaching staff , particularly on defense, is the return of four secondary players who have already committed to Division I institutions. You may call them Four Horsemen, the Quad Squad or Green Township’s No-Fly Zone, but most teams have called them a problem. Ohio State commit Jaylen Johnson is large enough to play linebacker at 6foot-3 and 210 pounds but will likely be a Buckeye safety once he’s fi nished swarming to the ball for the Lancers. The three-star (according to 247sports.com) is bullish on adding a trophy to the La Salle case. “Best team in Ohio,” Johnson said. “We just have to show it again this year. Same attitude, same demeanor.”

Jaylen Johnson, Ohio State commit, participates in practice Thursday, Aug. 6.

Johnson has kept in contact with Ohio State players and coaches over the Big Ten’s decision not to play this fall over new coronavirus concerns. He’s hearing the talk of spring ball and may angle to graduate early if he can to get involved with Coach Ryan Day’s program early. For now, he was looking forward to the season opener at Elder. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible results. The Panthers were also in Canton last year, ﬁ nishing as Division I runners-up. “Let’s have a party at The Pit!” Johnson said. Conﬁ dence oozes from all four Lancers lurking in the defensive secondary. Johnson believes it’s the best in the nation with their speed, size and resumes. “The best option is to run and get hit,” he said. Cincinnati Bearcat commit Iesa Jarmon has the same thought process for

those hoping to run multiple successful pass routes on La Salle. When asked who may complete passes on them, the answer is identical. “Nobody, nobody, nobody,” Jarmon said. “We can’t let anybody. No, no, no. Our team is super-solid. We’re returning a lot of our key players from last year We’re going to repeat again and win another state championship.” As cocky as Johnson and Jarmon may sound, all agree that Miami RedHawks commit Jaymor Mundy is the secondary swagger-king. “Dripped out” is how his teammates describe him. Mundy tied for the Greater Catholic League-South lead in interceptions last year with six and also casts doubt on opposing pass completions. “I don’t think no one honestly,” MunSee LA SALLE, Page 2B

The Panthers of Doug Ramsey took some major hits on the roster due to graduation with the GCL-South’s top rusher and No. 2 passer Matthew Luebbe gone as well as tight end Joe Royer and off ensive lineman Jakob James to Ohio State and lineman Luke Kandra to Louisville. Top tackler Colton Sandhas is also gone. But, they tend to replenish in Price Hill with many of the youngsters growing up dreaming of playing in The Pit. Many in last year’s shadows will now have the opportunity to shine, including junior Drew Ramsey who followed Elder’s recent tradition of being in the off ense as a receiver/back while waiting for his turn at quarterback. The Panthers remaining have much to prove after falling short in the DI fi nal last December after entering the fourth quarter with a 14-7 lead on Pickerington Central. “People are going to doubt you now because you think about the guys we lost,” Ramsey said. “Two guys going to Ohio State, a guy going to Louisville, a quarterback that threw for 4,000, rushed for 2,000, we lost a lot of talent. That’s what happens in sports. Some of these guys have to assume those roles and play at a high level.” Players to watch: Drew Ramsey was 3-for-5 passing last season, but two of those went for touchdowns. Back at his natural position, those numbers should improve. As a utility back as a sophomore, Ramsey ran for 319 yards and tour touchdowns and caught 61 passes for 633 yards and fi ve scores. One of his targets could be tight end David Larkins who backed up Joe Royer last season. Larkins has committed to play at Appalachian State. “Why not us?” Larkins said. “Just because we lost so many people, so many high-rated guys, why can’t we make a run for state again?” On the line Drew Beckenhaupt will lead the way.

Can Wyoming football dominate CHL again? Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The wait is over. The Ohio high school football season, one that has been in limbo since the novel coronavirus pandemic began, is here. As The Enquirer runs down its conference-by-conference gridiron previews, it’s time to turn to the Cincinnati Hills League. It’s been said that to be the best, you have to beat the best. That’s the mantra seven CHL teams are taking into their respective abbreviated regular-season slates this fall. That’s because Wyoming, which has been to the state Final Four back-toback years (winning a state title in 2018), has a mile-wide target on its back once again. In addition to postseason success, Aaron Hancock’s Cowboys have won four consecutive conference championships. Wyoming begins the season riding a 31-game winning streak against CHL foes, dating back to 2016. The Cowboys have not lost a regular-season contest since October 2015. The biggest storyline for Wyoming this season is an obvious one. What will the squad look like with the departure of Evan Prater, last season’s Mr. Ohio Football? The Brennan Pagan era began Friday when Wyoming opened the season against Reading. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. Pagan has been an all-around athlete for Wyoming. Last season, he caught 39 balls for 596 yards and seven touchdowns and added 155 yards on the ground with a score. He also had 61 tackles and fi ve fumble recoveries as a defensive back and served as one of the team’s kick and punt returner. Pagan will still have a talented cast around him, including senior wide receiver Joop Mitchell, a special mention All-Ohio selection in 2019 after recording 39 receptions for 778 yards and seven scores. Mitchell is also a starting corner for the Cowboys. Wyoming lost its top-two rushers, but the future is bright in the backfi eld with C.J. Hester. As a freshman last season, he averaged 5.4 yards per carry and gained valuable postseason action with double-digit attempts in three playoff games. In a fi rstround win over Milton-Union, he ran for 147 yards and a score on 13 attempts. Wyoming’s defense was arguably just as good as its defense last year, especially in conference play. In eight CHL tilts last season, Wyoming allowed just 42 total points and posted four shutouts. Top defensive lineman Beau Thomas, with 72 tackles and six sacks, returns.

dy said on who may test them. “Coming up to this season, with all of this going on, I don’t think no one’s going to be able to complete a pass.” Mundy feels he toughened his game up last season and is looking forward to getting to Oxford to begin training for his college career as soon as he’s done at La

La Salle Lancers coach Pat McLaughlin is guarded about the season ahead, but a look at a roster full of college talent returning should have La Salle fans feeling good about their 2020 chances. La Salle returns a starting quarterback in Zach Branam who threw for 1,676 yards and 21 scores and ran for 1,394 with 14 touchdowns. 166 of those yards came in La Salle’s 34-17 DII title win over Massillon Washington last December. For his senior year, Branam returns a starting running back and receiver with Division I college off ers and will have a defense with an all-DI secondary helping get the ball back. “I’m defi nitely feeling confi dent in our team,” Branam said. “We’ve got a lot of guys coming back. We only had 14 seniors, even though those seniors were a big part of our team. We’re defi nitely confi dent in all of our people coming back. Once we get to work this year, we’ll defi nitely get better than we were last year. I have a little chip on my shoulder not getting recruited as much as I’d want to. It just makes me work even harder to prove everyone wrong. They’ll see that

Wyoming QB Brennan Pagan (1) throws the ball during practice, Saturday, Aug. 1. TONY TRIBBLE/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Indian Hill has been consistent with six consecutive winning seasons. In each of the last three seasons, the Braves have gone 9-3 and fi nished as the CHL runner-up. The problem? All three of those seasons ended with postseason losses to Wyoming. Can they get over the Wyoming hump this fall? Unfortunately, that matchup won’t take place during the regular season. Indian Hill is the last CHL team to beat the Cowboys, doing so in the 2015 playoff s. The Braves have to replace starting quarterback Tre Lopez and have three guys coming back who threw passes in 2019. In the backfi eld, Indian Hill will lean on Charlie Sumerel and Antwan Peek Jr. Luke Hammond was the team’s leading receiver a year ago but did get work under center, too. If the quarterback is king in football, Madeira has to feel confi dent. The Mustangs welcome back Sam Autry, who was the CHL’s leading passer a season ago. Autry led Madeira on a pair of fourgame winning streaks to make the playoff s and was a second-team all-district selection. Autry was big when he needed to be last season, including in the regular-season fi nale with two touchdown tosses to beat rival Mariemont for a playoff spot. Elsewhere on off ense, Madeira will

have to replace its top rusher (Johnathan Thiele) and four of its top-5 receivers. The Mustangs will need some skilled guys to step up and one breakout candidate could be senior wideout Casey Bell, who had 15 catches for 205 yards and three scores in 2019. Madeira does have some solid returners on defense including linebacker Max Keller (92 tackles, 4.5 sacks), Max Spelder and Nolan Herron. Mariemont has had four winning seasons in fi ve years, but has not qualifi ed for the playoff s since 2014. That won’t be a problem for the Warriors this year as everyone qualifi es, but they’ll try to climb the CHL standings. Mariemont is another team that must feel good with its returners, specifi cally on off ense. That group includes starting quarterback Andrew Glassmeyer and running back Seth Greene. Glassmeyer is looking to make strides in year No. 2 after throwing for 1,521 yards and a dozen scores. Greene, a special mention All-Ohio selection, led all CHL running backs in rushing yards last year (968) and tied for the lead among his position with 15 touchdowns. Tight end Max Megowen will again be a top target this year after posting 25 catches for 441 yards and six scores in 2019. The Warriors have multiple members of last

year’s defense returning including linebackers Jack Mileham and Jack Borgerding. Deer Park is coming off back-toback winning campaigns, including a playoff berth in 2018. The Wildcats started 5-1 last season, but a three-game losing streak in October sank a return to the postseason. QB Tre Munson threw for 13 scores last year and returns for Deer Park, as well as Jerry Heard and Nore Johnson, who combined for 574 rushing yards and fi ve scores. Heard and Munson split quarterbacking duties in 2019 and Johnson and GiMarion Jones each had 20 catches. Reading, Taylor and Finneytown combined for a 5-24 record (3-18 CHL) a season ago. The good news is that all three will have experience under center this fall. Finneytown welcomes back Drew Finch from a season-ending leg injury. Taylor started Gage Hall as a freshman last season and Reading junior Joel Steinkoenig was fi fth in the CHL in passing in 2019. Reading running back Caleb Embry was fourth in the CHL in rushing and Zach Barker tied for the lead in interceptions. Defensive lineman Harry Hilvert is one of the top returners for Taylor. He had 88 tackles and 5.5 sacks (5th in CHL) as a sophomore in 2019.

Salle. As for this fall, he’s also predicting “back-to-back” championships. Devonta Smith is a unique Lancer who is part of the secondary, but also a receiving threat. He’s also unique in that he’s a rare fl ip from Ohio State to the SEC and Alabama. Smith said the Crimson Tide will probably use him at safety. He had 38 tackles and three interceptions last season in addition to 11 catches for 271 yards with fi ve of those being touchdowns on off ense. Defensively, Smith fi gures to be waving his arms in

the incomplete-mode on a frequent basis. “I think everyone could (complete a pass) but I feel like with the guys we’ve got back there, no one,” Smith said. “Like no one. I don’t think so. We’re loaded!” Loaded is an understatement when you factor in junior running back/linebacker Gi’Bran Payne who has been offered by a “who’s who” of schools including Alabama, Florida, Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, Iowa and UC. Payne ran for 790 yards and nine scores, caught

eight passes for 141 yards and three touchdowns, had 41 tackles, four sacks, three forced fumbles and a pair of picks as a sophomore. 247sports.com lists him as a four-star recruit. “We’re just taking it one day at a time practicing hard every day,” Payne said. “We’re going to go back and do it again.” Factor in a senior starting quarterback Zach Branam who ran for 1,676 yards and 21 touchdowns and passed for 1,394 and 14 more. These Lancers roll deep.

this year.” Players to watch: In addition to senior Branam, La Salle’s star-studded secondary features Ohio State-bound Jaylen Johnson (61 tackles), Alabama commit Devonta Smith (38 tackles, three interceptions plus 11 catches for 271 yards and ﬁ ve scores at receiver), Cincinnati Bearcat commit Iesa Jarmon (31 tackles, two fumble recoveries, two INTs) and Miami RedHawks commit Jaymar Mundy (50 tackles and a league-high six interceptions). Junior Gi’Bran Payne has seen his recruiting blow up after running for 790 yards and nine scores and recording 41 tackles, four sacks, three forced fumbles and a pair of interceptions at linebacker. Among some of fourstar Payne’s oﬀ ers are Alabama, Florida, Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, Iowa and UC.

only winning season out of the last fi ve. “We’re just focusing on getting better,” Elder said. “I’m not really worried about what happened last year or years in the past. Those things don’t really have a major impact on the season we’re going to have this year. What does have a major impact on the season we’re going to to have is the work ethic, the commitment level of the guys and coming on a consistent basis and working really hard.” Players to watch: Hoping to lead the Moeller ground game is off ensive lineman Landon Fickell who has committed to play for his father Luke at the University of Cincinnati. Nate Pabst, a 6-foot-6, 250-pound defensive lineman has committed to Bowling Green, while junior tight end Josh Kattus, the son of former Bengal and Michigan player Eric Kattus, has an off er from his father’s alma mater. Brothers Deuce and Aiden Shaw will be defensive leaders and brothers Bryan and Brandon White plus Rotello will be threats with the football in their hands.

commit Liam Cliff ord returning for his senior season after catching 77 balls for 1,180 yards and 17 scores. From the looks of last week’s scrimmage vs. Lakota West, St. Xavier again has an able passer as Brogan McCaughey was able to chuck a couple scoring passes against Lakota West. The Bombers were 9-3 last season, falling short in a second-round playoff game to eventual DI state runner-up Elder. Early indications are the Bombers will be in the hunt again. “Liam Cliff ord is a special talent and he’s done a great job in a leadership role,” Specht said. “Liam’s just one of many seniors that are going to make an impact again this year. We have a great nucleus to build around. Now the young guys need to measure up what the expectation is here. We’ll get after them and we’ll fi nd 11 guys to put on the fi eld. I like this group of kids.” Players to watch: Cliff ord is multitalented and may even get an occasional look at safety if situations warrant according to Specht. He spent the spring/ summer catching passes from his brother, Penn State starting quarterback Sean Cliff ord.Junior Luke Vrsansky is the top returning rusher. Senior Jalen Patterson is also a receiving threat along with sophomore tight end Joey Wassler and defensive back Gabriel DuBois is a playmaker.

Moeller Moeller has their fourth coach in four seasons as Mark Elder comes from the college ranks of Eastern Kentucky to try to amp the Crusaders up from a 2-8 2019 campaign. The Crusaders appear to have picked up the pace some and will try senior playmaker T.J. Rotello at quarterback. Moeller is just two seasons removed from winning the GCL-South two years ago when Rotello was a sophomore running back. However, that’s been their

Princeton announces National School Lunch/Breakfast Program Princeton City School District announced its 2020-2021 program year policy for free and reduced-price meals or free milk for students unable to pay the full price of meals or milk served under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast, After School Care Snack or Special Milk Programs. Each school offi ce and the central offi ce has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party. 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 or free milk if the school participates in the Special Milk Program. Application forms are distributed to all homes in a letter to parents or guardians. To apply for free and reducedprice benefi ts, households should complete an application and return it to the school. Additional copies are available at the principal’s offi ce in each school. A complete application is required. 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. If any of this information is missing, the school cannot process the application. 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 eligibility and may be verifi ed at any time during the school year by school or other program offi cial. 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, Jean Sparks, Director 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 Deborah Birch, Director of EMIS (513864-1000). 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 reducedprice benefi ts if the family income falls at or below the levels shown above.

Rubber Duck Regatta goes virtual Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

With Riverfest cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 26th annual Rubber Duck Regatta will be virtual. While it will be very diﬀ erent from past “races” on the Ohio River, organizers say the need for the Freestore Foodbank fundraiser hasn’t changed, and in fact has grown because of the new coronavirus. Organizers also say prizes, including a new car, in a contest in which everybody who buys a duck is entered will be just as valuable as they were during the years when thousands of the little ﬂ oaters temporarily turned the river yellow. This year, winning duck buyers will be chosen via a computer program and announced on RubberDuckRegatta.org on Sunday, Sept. 6. “In order to safely produce our fund-

raiser, we have decided to select our winners through a computer program that was designed speciﬁ cally for the Freestore Foodbank Rubber Duck Regatta,” Laura Altenau, events and fundraising manager for the Freestore Foodbank, said in an email. “This program will allow us to randomly select all seven winners with outside auditors present throughout the entire process.” Prices for the regatta range from $5 for one duck to $500 for 120 ducks. Each duck purchased allows the Freestore Foodbank to provide up to 15 meals.

‘Our community needs us now more than ever’ Freestore Foodbank said in a press release that since March, it has worked with more than 500 community part-

ners to distribute about 11 million meals. “Since the beginning of the COVID, we have seen record numbers of families and children who need our help in putting food on the table,” Trisha Rayner, chief external aﬀ airs oﬃ cer for the Freestore Foodbank, said in the release. “With unemployment remaining high, delays for in-person school instruction and businesses closing, we are seeing more and more families using Freestore services who have never needed us before. “And we don’t see that need slowing down over the next year. Our community needs us now more than ever,” Rayner said. To buy ducks, visit RubberDuckRegatta.org, call 513-9293825, text DUCK to 833-709-0969 or stop by a local Kemba Credit Union location. First prize in the regatta contest is a

COMMUNITY NEWS Great Parks donates 88 bicycle helmets to children Great Parks of Hamilton County has donated 88 bicycle helmets to children at the Cincinnati Recreation Commission’s Clifton and Dunham Recreation Centers, encouraging them to practice safety as they bicycle in the parks and around their community. “We’ve seen that bicycling is very popular throughout the parks because it’s great outdoor recreation with safe social distancing,” said Great Parks Ranger Captain Dale Steele. “Bike safety is important, so we’re thrilled to provide bicycle helmets to dozens of Hamilton County children once again.”

Great Parks donated 88 bicycle helmets to children. PROVIDED

The German Heritage Museum. PROVIDED

The donated helmets are meant to encourage students to practice safety as they bicycle in the parks and around their community. PROVIDED

Great Parks is providing the helmets in collaboration with the 10th annual “Put a Lid on It” bike helmet safety campaign from the Ohio Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (Ohio AAP) and the Ohio Department of Transportation. This campaign has allowed Great Parks to give 200 bicycle helmets to children over the last three years. According to the Ohio AAP, up to 75 percent of bike-related fatalities would be prevented with a helmet. Furthermore, wearing a helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85 percent. Great Parks worked closely with staﬀ at the Cincinnati Recreation Commission (CRC) Clifton and Dunham Recreation Centers to measure children for correct sizes and distribute helmets for them to take home, all while observing social distancing guidelines. The parks have more than 20 miles of bike trails, with access to the regional 78-mile Little Miami Scenic Trail and the 8-mile mountain bike trail in Mitchell Memorial Forest. Bikes are available

for rent at Miami Whitewater Forest, Sharon Woods and Winton Woods. For more information about the “Put a Lid on It” campaign, visit http:// ohioaap.org/PutALidOnIt. For more information about Great Parks biking opportunities, visit https://www.greatparks.org/recreation/bicycling. Peter Osborne
