Man who survived heart attack reunites with Green Township EMS, dispatcher Segann March Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

“It’s not going to happen today. Not today, God. I’m going to get him through this. We’re going to get through this together.” For seven minutes, these phrases played on loop through her mind as Tatia Wiley performed chest compressions on her 56-year-old husband Mark Wiley, who was suff ering a cardiac arrest. This was her fi rst time performing CPR. “It seemed like hours,” she told the Enquirer. “It was a scary moment. He was clinically dead, but I didn’t know that. I just knew it was important to get that blood pumping. There was no time to waste.” The Green Township couple of 34 years never expected this to happen. They’ll always remember the morning of July 26 and the individuals who helped keep Mark alive. On Sept. 9, Mark reunited with those same emergency responders and medical staff at Green Twp. Fire & EMS Station 55 on Audro Drive. “I’m so grateful for everybody and what they did,” Mark said. “If it wasn’t for the whole eff ort of everybody, I wouldn’t be standing here today. It’s very humbling and an amazing feeling to know how many people care.” According to the American Heart Association, roughly 326,200 people experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrest every year. The average survival rate is a little over 10 percent. Bystander CPR is an eff ective way to help a victim survive, said Angela Baer, the Hamilton County dispatcher who coached Tatia Wiley, 54, through the procedure. “It’s a huge responsibility but we also receive extensive training to be able to handle each diff erent call,” Baer said. “This is defi nitely one of those calls that you don’t forget. It’s an honor to see someone fully recover.” Once EMS arrived, Wiley received life support measures while en route to Mercy West Hospital. They See REUNITE, Page 3A

Colerain Fire Chief Frank Cook retires after 36 years Segann March and Jennie Key Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Colerain Township Fire Chief Frank Cook Jr. has retired after 36 years with the department. Offi cials say he is only the third person to ever serve as fi re chief for Colerain since its inception in 1975. Cook graduated from the Carl Holmes Professional Development Institute and National Fire Academy’s Executive Fire Offi cer Program. He also attained the Chief Fire Offi cer designation and has a master’s degree in public administration. During his tenure, Cook has modernized the department’s equipment and fl eet by purchasing a new engine, an aerial ladder truck and extrication tools. Cook was sworn in as chief in 2015. Accomplishments: h Holds a Class 1 Community Fire Rating from the Insurance Services Offi ce, one of only 300 fi re departments in the nation to receive the distinction h Colerain was named the EMS Agency of the Year by the State of Ohio h Initiated the fi rst-in-the-nation Quick Response Team (QRT) that responds to addiction-related calls and attempts follow-up counseling on every addiction call with a 70% success rate.

Frank Cook was sworn in as the new ﬁ re chief of the Colerain Township Department of Fire and Emergency Medical Services at the Jan. 13, 2015 trustees meeting. His wife Patti pinned on his new badge following the swearing-in. ENQUIRER FILE PHOTO

h Has been awarded the American Heart Association Mission Lifeline Gold Plus Award, the Nicholas Rosecrans Award for innovation in service delivery, and the 2018 CARES Award. The department also installed roughly 750 smoke detectors in at-risk homes, partnered with the Cincin-

nati-Dayton Chapter of the American Red Cross and canvassed six critical neighborhoods in the past fi ve years. Cook joined Colerain Fire Chief Mark Denney in monthly “Coff ee with the Chiefs” meetings with members of the community to answer questions, hear about issues and talk about the services off ered by the departments. The township had a retirement send off for Cook Sept. 5. He did a fi nal “troop review” as he was joined with family and friends, coworkers and associates from throughout his career, closing out with a fi nal sign off via the Hamilton County Communications Center. “I had the absolute pleasure of working my entire career at Colerain Fire with this man,” said retired Colerain Fire Capt. Joe Hempel in a Facebook post congratulating the chief. “The memories that he and I share (are) of some of my best. Not sure how many fi res we worked together, but I know that there aren’t many better fi remen out there. As a Chief Offi cer, he was equally talented.” Former Assistant Fire Chief Alan Walls, in charge of operational services for the fi re department, will serve as Colerain Township’s fi re chief. He has served the department for more than 24 years and was appointed by the Colerain Township Board of Trustees Aug. 11.

These ‘ﬂ oating wetlands’ will help control Canada geese population Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Great Parks of Hamilton County has installed its fi rst-ever “fl oating wetlands” in a pond at Parky’s Farm in Winton Woods. Five perforated mats measuring 8 feet by 16 feet and holding aquatic plants are in a 1.25-acre body of water at the park in Greenhills, Great Parks said in a press release. Nearly 1,600 plants, including swamp milkweed, cardinal fl ower and broadleaf arrowhead, are on the mats. “Of the many benefi ts that a wetland can provide, one is fi ltering water to reduce nutrient loading, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, improving water quality,” the release said. “Another is creating habitat for native pollinators, insects and wildlife, like the green herons that have been seen using the wetlands recently.” Daniel Kovar, Great Parks conservation biologist, said in the release that the fl oating wetlands also are a safe and non-invasive way to control the Canada geese population in the area. “The wetlands basically reduce the amount of open water, discouraging them from continually using the pond,” Kovar said. “We’re hoping this will naturally prevent confl icts with aggressive geese in the future at Parky’s.” Parky’s is a 100-acre educational farm.

We don’t see this often and when we do its very fulfi lling and reminds us why we do this job.” The American Heart Association recently awarded Green Township Fire and EMS its fourth Mission Lifeline Gold award for outstanding care of emergency cardiac conditions. “It’s an absolute miracle,” Wiley said while smiling at her husband. “There is no damage. Everything that day was spot on and perfect, except for the heart attack. From the 911 call to the dispatcher to the EMTs that arrived.”

Oktoberfest salads are ‘part of the fun’ during celebrations Clara’s German potato salad

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

If you like a tarter sauce, add more vinegar; more sugar if you like it a bit sweeter.

Guest columnist

This weekend we celebrate Oktoberfest. Now, I’m sure gatherings will be scaled down due to the pandemic, and some of you will be doing Oktoberfest at home. Oktoberfest salads are part of the fun. My German mother-in-law, Clara, made the best German potato salad. I remember it warm, with a bit of a bite from the vinegar. Problem is, like so many heirloom recipes, Clara’s wasn’t written down. So after a few tries, I came up with something yummy and similar. Maybe you’d like an authentic cold cucumber salad for the festivities. Try Iron Skillet restaurant’s specialty. No kidding, it’s so good and diﬀ erent from what you might expect.

Red potatoes are waxy and hold up well. Ditto for all purpose potatoes, like Yukon gold. White bakers are starchy and break up a little after cooking. But go ahead and use what you have. Ingredients Boiled, peeled and sliced potatoes, kept warm, about 2 pounds or 6 cups, sliced 1/4” thick 8 slices bacon, fried and crumbled – save drippings (I had about 1/4 cup from thick sliced bacon) 1 medium yellow or white onion diced, a good cup or so 2-3 ribs celery, diced

German potato salad. PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

2 tablespoons flour 2/3 cup cider vinegar or to taste 1/3 cup water or to taste 1/4 cup sugar or to taste

Like Iron Skillet’s cucumber salad

Salt and pepper

1 tablespoon salt

Parsley (optional)

1-2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Laszlo Molnar’s Hungarian restaurant, Laszlo’s Iron Skillet, www.ironskillet.com, offers authentic fare and scratch breads made in their Clermont County restaurant. Laszlo and his sister, Monica are passionate about carrying on the tradition their parents started in 1973. The original restaurant was in Mt. Washington. I’ve changed Laszlo’s recipe a little from one I’ve shared. It’s hard to know how many cucumbers to use so go to taste. Like a milder garlic taste? Peel and smash the garlic instead of mincing, then remove before serving.

1 cup each sugar and clear or cider vinegar

Ingredients

Pour over cucumbers and mix. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Put potatoes and bacon in bowl, pour dressing over and stir gently until blended. Let sit a bit to absorb flavors, then adjust seasonings.

Top each serving with sour cream and paprika to taste.

Garnish with parsley.

4-6 cucumbers, unpeeled if young, small and tender, peeled if larger and skin is thicker, sliced real thin

Cook onion and celery in drippings until tender but not brown.

⁄ 4 cup water

Paprika and sour cream (optional but good) Instructions Put sliced cucumbers in bowl, sprinkle with salt and toss. Let sit at room temperature one hour. Put in colander and drain, put in bowl, add garlic and mix. Whisk sugar, vinegar and water until sugar dissolves.

Sprinkle flour over, stir and add vinegar and water. It will look lumpy. Boil until slightly thickened, whisking as you go, and then stir in sugar, salt and pepper.

Tip: Warm potatoes absorb sauce better.

VIEWPOINTS Say hello to The Enquirer’s new food and dining writer Keith Pandolfi Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

I moved away from this city about 20 years ago. But like any Cincinnatian worth his salt, I never really left. I came back all the time: during the four years I lived in New Orleans; during the 16 I lived in New York. As a food writer for publications such as Saveur, Serious Eats and the Wall Street Journal, I paid close attention to the changes that were happening here and covered them whenever my editors let me. I wrote about the ambitious young chefs who came here from places like New York or Chicago to open the restaurants they always dreamed of in Over-theRhine; I wrote about the new generation of bakers and brewers who were making their own dreams come true in abandoned buildings, from OTR to Oakley. Yes, I knew the city was up-and-coming. I just didn’t know how far it had come. When I moved back here with my wife, Amy, and our young daughter last year, an old friend welcomed me home with lunch at Tortilleria Garcia in College Hill where Omar Garcia, a native of Michoacan, Mexico, makes some of the best corn tortillas I’ve ever tasted. Soon after, a couple friends of ours took us to Ripple Wine Bar. Over pinot noir from the Willamette Valley and cheese from Urban Stead in East Walnut Hills, we felt like we were back in Brooklyn, only better, because we were in Covington, instead. When Amy and I went out on our fi rst Cincinnati date night, we toasted our move over old fashioneds at Longfellow, followed by one of the better dinners we’ve had in years at Salazar. Before the pandemic put the kibosh on, well, everything, last March, I spent my days driving around and taking in all the area had to off er. I remained faithful to the classics, of course: a cheeseburger at Zip’s, a pint of Guinness at Arnold’s; a three-way at (take-yourpick chili parlor, because I don’t want to tick anyone off ). But I was equally taken by newer off erings: the perfect serving of hash browns and neckbone gravy at Sacred Beast; the confi t tuna sandwich at Fausto at the Contemporary Arts Center; the old-school ham-salad

The Cincinnati Food & Wine Classic hosted its ﬁ rst Grand Tasting last year at Washington Park. Foodie journalists Francis Lam, Keith Pandolﬁ and Andrew Knowlton attended. FILE

sandwich at HomeMakers. I fell in love with Covington. Where Chris and Tess Burns were cooking up perfectly fried Kentucky rabbit, sumac brick chicken and other Southern/Appalachian fare at Commonwealth Bistro. And Hisako “Chako” Okawa, a Le Cordon Bleu graduate who was serving exquisite matcha roll cakes and Japanese curry soup at her namesake bakery and cafe on Main Street. As a product of Anderson Township, I kicked myself for not realizing the magic of the West Side earlier in life. The ﬁ rst time I slipped into a booth at Maury’s Tiny Cove and ordered an old fashioned, Amy said, “I haven’t seen you this happy since the day we got married,” and she was exactly right. I guess my enthusiasm for the city’s food scene came through when I met with the Enquirer staﬀ last month to discuss writing about it full-time. Because yes, Cincinnati, I’m your new food and dining writer. Not your new Polly Campbell, mind you. Because Polly is Polly. Because Polly is forever. But as a writer, I hope I can make the same kind of inroads Polly once did into your hearts and, of course, your stomachs, even if that might take a little while.

Tastes, I know, are subjective: A varied mix of nostalgia, our own discerning (sometimes stubborn) palates and the power of suggestion by a friend or, perhaps, a critic. No matter what you grew up eating, whether it was reﬁ ned home cooking made by your Williams-Sonoma-loving parents, or a plate of afterthe-soccer-game riblets at Applebee’s on Beechmont Avenue, all of these foods work their way into our souls. I know from experience that you can appreciate the simplicity of a perfect French omelet from French Crust as much as you can an overstuﬀ ed Western version from Bob Evans. Sure, I can be critical. I get frustrated by structurally unsound sandwiches; I worry this city's obsession with pork belly might be getting out of hand; I get downright angry when the music is wrong or too loud for a restaurant. I feel anxious when a server has to explain a menu concept to me. But given what the restaurant industry is going through under COVID-19, I’m not going to be too picky.

workers, and it’s not over yet, folks. That said, I’m amazed by how so many of them have pivoted to help save themselves, and in some cases, each other. From Jose Salazar turning Mita into a distribution center for free meals for restaurant workers to Suzy DeYoung of La Soupe working with chefs and farmers to salvage dumpster-bound food to create not just nutritious, but downright restaurant-quality foods for those in need. Finally, in a food world that’s going through a much-needed reckoning, I realize it’s my responsibility to write for everyone. To ask questions about the things I don’t understand. To try and see things through a lens that’s not mine and mine alone. I promise to pay as much attention to the new Sichuan restaurant in an exurban strip mall as I do the next American bistro that opens on Vine Street. I want to understand why a perfect pho makes a person feel as comforted as I do when I sit down for a perfect three-way at a favorite chili parlor. I want to learn. I want to explore. But, most of all, I want to eat.

It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 45% of their total net worth. And with interest rates near all-time lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most out of your built-up equity. But, many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period. According to new statistics from

misconceptions. For example, a lot of people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a HECM loan, which is not the case. In fact, one key advantage of a HECM is that the proceeds will first be used to pay off any existing liens on the property, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who might be better off with a HECM loan don’t

the mortgage industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.19 trillion dollars* of unused home equity. Not only are people living longer than ever before, but there is also greater uncertainty in the ecomony. With home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted when looking for the best long-term outcome. All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement. It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required with a government-insured HECM loan; however the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees. Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement. Although today’s HECM loans have been improved to provide even greater financial protection for homeowners, there are still many

even bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve heard. In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM lender, found that over 98% of their clients are satisfied with their loans. While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners - especially in times like these. The cash from a HECM loan can be used for almost any purpose. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills or helping other family members. Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a safety net for financial emergencies. If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more so that you can make the best decision - for your financial future.

As Featured on: ABC, CBS, CNN & Fox News

*Source: https://reversemortgagedaily.com/2019/12/17/senior-housing-wealth-reaches-record-high-of-7-19-trillion Reverse mortgage loan terms include occupying the home as your primary residence, maintaining the home, paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. Although these costs may be substantial, AAG does not establish an escrow account for these payments. However, a set-aside account can be set up for taxes and insurance, and in some cases may be required. Not all interest on a reverse mortgage is taxdeductible and to the extent that it is, such deduction is not available until the loan is partially or fully repaid. AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. AAG charges interest on the balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance.

Former Judge Ralph Winkler, Sr. (middle) died Thursday. PROVIDED/HAMILTON COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY

Former Hamilton County Judge Ralph Winkler, Sr. dies Madeline Mitchell and Jennie Key Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Former Hamilton County Judge Ralph Winkler died unexpectedly Sept. 3, according to Hamilton County Republican Party chairman Alex Triantafi lou. Winkler's children confi rmed their father's death in social media posts Sept. 4. "I am sorry to tell all my family and friends that my father, Ralph Winkler passed away suddenly tonight. He loved everyone," Ralph "Ted" Winkler wrote of his late father on Facebook. "Please pray for My family, but also know we are at peace. He was a man of faith." Ted Winkler and his brother, Robert Winkler, currently serve as judges in Hamilton County Courts. Robert Winkler also wrote about his father's death on Facebook, stating his dad had a "wonderful life" and was "always a proud Bearcat." Records state Winkler graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 1959. "Personally, I remember Judge Winkler's support of me as a young professional and the continued support he provided to the Hamilton County Republican Party," Triantafi lou said in a statement. "He is much beloved by Republicans everywhere and his long service to our community and to our nation will not soon be forgotten." Winkler served a total of 22 years as a

trial judge in Hamilton County Municipal Court and the Court of Common Pleas, according to BallotPedia. In 1998 he was elected to the First District Court of Appeals, where he retired in 2005. Green Township Trustee Tony Rosiello said Winkler infl uenced him to take a run at public offi ce. "He encouraged me, told me to do the right thing and give back to my community," Rosiello said. "He encouraged a lot of us to public service. He had a quiet way of leadership, one that will be missed." Rosiello said he ran for offi ce unsuccessfully before winning in 2011. "Ralph told me not to give up, I had a lot to off er to the community. His guidance and encouragement kept me going," Rosiello said. Rosiello said Winkler was kind, fi rm and had a dry sense of humor. He said his friend valued family and was quintessentially a West Sider and "so Cincinnati." "Politics get you into offi ce, but here in Cincinnati, once you are there people expect you to move the ball. He knew that." Rosiello said the Winkler family has a legacy of public service in the county that cannot be ignored. "On the bench, he was fair, but strong," Rosiello said. "No one can say he wasn't good for our community." The Enquirer will update this story as more information becomes available.

SPORTS Despite COVID, dad wants daughter to have chance to play senior season Paul Daugherty Columnist Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Forever, Grace O’Connor will make the two three-pointers and Mick O’Connor will watch. One from the right wing, one from the left, in the fourth quarter of a close game, with a 6-foot-2 defender fl ying at her. Grace is only 5-3, a point guard, but on that night last March, she felt as tall as a house. “I still get chills,” says Mick, who as you might imagine is Grace’s father. He has watched the video of that game 10 times and he admits to a shiver every time. Mercy McAuley against Wayne in the district fi nals, a week before the sports world went dark. Grace, a junior, the youngest of his four children, making two shots that helped her team win and, more to the point, making a memory that persists. If you ever wondered why we strive, why we persist and why striving and persistence are the essence of what we do and who we are, well, watch the tape. “One of the proudest moments of my life,” says Mick. A week later, COVID-19 shut down high school sports in Ohio. And now, six months later and still under the COVID cloud, Mick O’Connor is fearful his daughter won’t get a chance at a sequel. And why he will argue with all he has that high school athletes be freed from what he says is the irrational fear of a virus that mostly aff ects older people and those with pre-existing conditions. “All this negative and unnecessary talk about canceling sports,” he says. “To have a liberal administrator cancel (Grace’s) season would be terrible. My heart would break.” Grace is a senior this year. After years of riding shotgun to teammates’ dreams, she has the chance to make one of her own. It’s fi tting she’s a point guard, Mick says. It matches her selfl ess nature. From grade school to AAU ball to high school, Grace has appreciated her role as a complementary player. Now, Mick says, “it’s her time. Grace has worked her tail off for this. She has a chance to be a go-to player on varsity.” At 5-3, Grace will not be playing college basketball. The family has gotten a few letters from smaller schools, but not even doting father Mick has any illusions about his daughter’s basketball future. “We know where her future lies, and it’s not basketball,” he says. Listen to the O’Connors, hear a nation roiling. Imagine families at kitchen tables, parents and children making decisions that no one ever thought would have to be made. Everyone has an opinion on how to live during the pandemic. No two opinions are exactly the same. Most of them are bound by the loosest of threads: We want to do right by our children. Mick O’Connor watches the video from last March, and he thinks, “What if COVID had shut down the season a week earlier? What if Grace hadn’t gotten that opportunity” against Wayne? “I was so proud she had the gumption to take those shots.” Now, he awaits a decision on the fate

Grace O'Connor PROVIDED

of winter sports that’s no more predictable than the virus itself. “This is her year to be a team leader. She has a chance to be a captain,” he says. Mick knows Grace will be ﬁ ne without basketball. She’s an honors student, has a part-time job, will attend college. Her future includes promise. That’s not the point. Mick doesn’t want to see all Grace’s striving end in disappointment because of a sickness he believes is more politics than health care. That’s his point. He’s somewhat radical about it. Mick read an interview with Kirk Cousins last week, in which the Minnesota Vikings quarterback said in July “if

I die (of COVID), I die.” Cousins said he’d wear a mask out of respect for others, not because he was worried about contracting the disease, or what might happen to him if he did. “I agree with Kirk,” Mick O’Connor says. “Do you stop life for this disease? We know who’s at risk. We don’t need to worry about ﬂ attening the curve. I almost drowned whitewater rafting 10 years ago. We all die.” Did we mention O’Connor’s entire family contracted COVID a few months ago? Mick, his wife and all four of their children. None became seriously ill, he says. All have recovered. Which only fuels his ﬁ re.

He watches the video, again and again. Grace never misses the pair of threes. Mercy McAuley wins every time. (The Wolves lost their next game, to Fairmount in the regional semifi nals, a few days before COVID-19 ended the season for everyone.) Grace has a life lesson reinforced. Mick doesn’t want that tarnished. “I just want my kid to fi nish her senior season on a high note,” he says. “If she gets the virus (again) I’m fi ne with her chances at 99 percent-plus. I want to change the mentality, so (fear) doesn’t creep in if we get a second wave. It’s a clear choice for me.”

New OHSAA head answers ﬁ rst press questions Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS - A day after being named executive director of the Ohio High School Athletic Association, veteran administrator Doug Ute addressed state media via teleconference and Zoom meeting. The 11th leader in the 113-year history of the organization has spent the past 20 years as a superintendent with Marion Elgin (nine years) and recently in Newark (11 years). He has also been OHSAA Central District Athletic Board treasurer since the 2011-12 season.

Ute

Ute addressed a variety of topics with reporters from all over the state in a teleconference before his scheduled Zoom conference, some of which are highlighted here:

First order of business? “We want to stay in communication with all of the diﬀ erent associations that belong to us,” Ute said. “The athletic directors, principals, superintendents, oﬃ cials, coaches associations and those type of things. I really want to reach out to them and really work hard

at uniting us as a group, particularly in these challenging times, to work together to make sure our student-athletes have the opportunity to compete.”

Competitive balance “It’s still a work in progress and still being evaluated,” Ute said of the possibility of having separate public and private postseasons come out of the competitive balance situation. “I still want to familiarize myself with that and look and see if it is accomplishing the goal that it set out to accomplish. It’s still ongoing. I would lean against (separate playoﬀ s) that highly. If you want to say

competitive balance isn’t working, what can we do to tweak it so that we’re all in the same tournament pool and competing with each other? It may not be 100% but it may be the best situation we can get our students in right now.”

What prepared him for this job? As a school superintendent, even as a principal or athletic director, my background was working with budgets and staying within the budgets,” Ute said. “I’ve been fortunate in my time as superintendent to only ask for new money See UTE, Page 2B

Roger Bacon's Cammy Niesen advances the ball during their volleyball game against Kettering Alter, Aug. 27, 2020. PHOTOS BY TONY TRIBBLE/ FOR THE ENQUIRER

Roger Bacon has success with virtual fans James Weber

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Roger Bacon High School has been experimenting with having “virtual” fans at its home volleyball matches. The school put a Zoom meeting on a video board in the middle of its gymnasium, featuring fans watching the match on their computers. It is a similar setup to things the National Basketball Association has been trying its postseason bubble in Orlando, as well as the National Football League during its annual draft in April. The school declared the experiment a success after a recent Thursday night showdown for its volleyball program. Attendance is limited and social distancing and masks are required due to the coronavirus pandemic. Roger Bacon's Cammy Niesen serves during their volleyball game against Kettering Alter.

Ute Continued from Page 1B

one time. I have extensive experience with the budget process. The oﬃ ce has already done some things to reduce expenditures.”

Playoff venues With regard to Gov. Mike DeWine’s order through the Ohio Department of Health on playoﬀ s and spectators: “If you can have 15% or a maximum of 300 (for indoor activities), what venues are you going to rent out?” Ute said. “I’m of the belief, particularly now, that our coaches, athletes and parents just want to compete. The venue won’t be as important right now as it has been in the past.”

How severe is OHSAA ﬁ nancial crisis? “It is severe, but I’m of the belief that we’re always going to have the Ohio High School Athletic organization and the organization is going to provide student-athletes with an opportunity to compete,” Ute said. “We’ll just have to look at diﬀ erent things. We’re one of the very few organizations that doesn’t charge a membership fee or entry fee for a tournament, which we just instituted.

We’ll be looking at those types of things going forward so we’re not so reliant on gate receipts and that’s it.”

Postseason venues for 2020 Some postseason venues are set, some aren’t. For football, will the fi nals make it to Canton this season? “It’s too early to determine,” Ute said. “I was in a meeting with a sport management folks and that’s one thing we discussed, to have those backup plans. One thing we’ve learned since March is things can change weekly or daily. We’re going to continue to work with the governor’s offi ce and the Department of Health and Lt. Gov. Husted and go from there. We’ve been having discussions and making back-up plans in the event that those places aren’t available or the size of the crowd doesn’t make sense for us fi nancially to use the venues.” “As an example, volleyball is at the Nutter Center (Wright State) and to us as an organization, we have to ask the question, ‘Does it make sense to rent out the Nutter Center and only put 300 family and loved ones in there?’ Financially, that may not make sense.”

Opting out of postseason? With travel expenses recently cut and entry fees added, will some schools opt out of participating in postseason tournaments?

“I doubt that,” Ute said. “By not being able to ﬁ nish the winter season last year and not having athletics in the spring, when schools started workouts in June, the reports I got were that there was a record number of kids coming out to these things. They want to participate. They miss that. It’s important for their development as a teammate, but (also) to the mental health of our students to participate. We’re not hearing that right now and I would not anticipate that.”

Thoughts on CPS sports still on pause It’s week three of football in Ohio, but Cincinnati Public Schools haven’t played. They’ve had intra-squad scrimmages. Though the OHSAA can’t step in, is that the right thing to do for the kids, to be stopped from doing what others are already doing? “Kids want to be part of things and I’m sure it’s diﬃ cult to watch kids at other schools compete when they’re not able to right now,” Ute said. “It’s that mental health piece we talk about. It’s not only from a competition standpoint in athletics. It’s from a mental health standpoint of getting kids back in the classroom, back around their peers.”

What’s the biggest challenge ahead? “To keep kids competing,” Ute said.

“We’re trying to help educate our member schools on safe environments, whether it be practice or game competition. We want family members to be able to watch their loved ones participate. We have the observer program going through the state right now. We’re hearing good, positive things from our schools. That’s a challenge, to keep things going and not let our events spread a virus. Coupled with that is the ﬁ nancial challenge. A lot of schools have that same ﬁ nancial challenge that we’re going through. We have to look at this challenge and see what opportunities there are for us to reduce expenses and those type of things. We’re working very hard so we can survive as an organization.”

What about winter sports? “Right now, we’re full steam ahead day one for the wintertime,” Ute said. “We’re at the mercy of the virus. If it doesn’t spread and the governor and Department of Health continue this path here, we’re ready to start winter sports from day one. There’s also talk and I’ll challenge our group here to come up with three or four scenarios that could happen to us and to plan for those in case we get a spike in the virus and take a step backward.”

SCHOOL NEWS Cincinnati police officer helps Scarlet Oaks law enforcement students A simple Facebook post led to help for an entire class of high school students. “I graduated from Scarlet Oaks in 1986,” said Cincinnati police offi cer Cary Jodice. “I keep track of the program online, and one day a Facebook mention about uniforms caught my attention.” Jodice, who came from a single-parent household, said the social media post triggered memories. “It clicked in my mind about how rough it can be for a high school student who comes from a family that’s fi nancially struggling.” His intent was to adopt one high school student in the hope of providing a uniform, so he contacted Scarlet Oaks Law Enforcement instructor Jen Frith. Frith told him that there were a number of students in need, and Jodice got to work. “I decided that my goal should be to provide uniforms for as many students as possible.” He contacted friends in law enforcement and Great Oaks alumni, and was overwhelmed by the response. The Cheviot Police Explorer Post gave $1,000. Cheviot city employees passed the hat throughout all departments and collected an additional $500. From an original goal of helping one student, Offi cer Jodice raised more than $3,000, which he presented to the Great Oaks Education Foundation through Law Enforcement instructor Jen Frith. Frith said that the funds would support students in need for several years. “It makes me so happy to know that my students have the support of current law enforcement offi cers and prior graduates of the Scarlet Oaks law enforcement program,” said Frith. My students are the future of law enforcement, and they know that someone cares about them and supports them in their dream to pursue this calling. Offi cer Jodice also introduced me to many other offi cers who have volunteered to help my students as guest speakers and in other ways as well.” Jon Weidlich, Great Oaks Career Campuses

Gamble Montessori grad receives scholarship from MLB Former Cincinnati Reds RBI participant and Gamble Montessori graduate Alvin Bowers received one of 12 “RBI for RBI” scholarships awarded by Major League Baseball. The scholarship is given to incoming college freshmen who are alumni of the Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities program, a youth baseball and softball initiative administered by MLB to serve young people, particularly those from underserved communities. Recipients must show both academic success and positive community involvement. Now a freshman at West Virginia State University, Bowers has certainly done that. On the fi eld, he has always been naturally gifted which was evident as a youngster. But as the competition become more diffi cult at higher age levels, Bowers was ready to put in the work. “Alvin is a hard worker on and off the fi eld and gave up basketball his senior year to concentrate on baseball,” said Jim Bella, one of Bowers’ RBI instructors. “But while Alvin plays hard, you can always count on him to keep his teammates and coaches loose.” Away from the fi eld, Bowers was just as focused on

putting his best foot forward. He dedicated countless hours serving younger kids at the at the P&G Cincinnati MLB Reds Youth Academy in Roselawn, which is operated and managed by the Reds Community Fund. All RBI players are required to fulfi ll 15 service hours and attend three educational seminars. Student-athletes that go above and beyond these requirements – making at least 35 All-Star visits to the Academy for instructor-led programs (outside of team practices), performing at least 25 hours of community service, and participating in fi ve or more educational seminars – become RBI All-Stars. Bowers was an All-Star. He found out about the scholarship opportunity through Reds Community Fund Outreach Manager Colleen Cheek. Knowing that all the RBI seniors would likely be applying, he didn’t think winning was a legitimate possibility, despite his obvious qualifi cations. “I just applied because you never know what can happen and fortunately everything went well and I was selected to get the scholarship,” Bowers said. “I found out just checking my email one day. The fi rst thing I did was pray and tell God how thankful I am because I’m blessed to get this scholarship.” It was a thrilling moment for the entire Bowers family. “My family is so proud of me,” he said. “They always tell me to give all the glory to God because without him none of this would be possible. They’re proud of my hard work and dedication to baseball because not everyone gets a chance to play at the college level. They are also so proud of the man I’m becoming and remind me to remain humble.” Bowers and the other 11 student-athletes are receiving the grants through the “RBI for RBI” Scholarship Fund, created in 2008 to provide fi nancial support for college-bound student-athletes based on academic record, leadership demonstrated, participation in school and community activities, and fi nancial need. Since its inception, the “RBI for RBI” Scholarship Fund has awarded more than 140 college scholarships to participants from 37 programs. The “RBI for RBI “scholarships, each valued at $5,000 per year, provide each recipient the opportunity to pursue any fi eld of study at a two-year college, four-year college, university or vocational school in the United States or Puerto Rico. The scholarships may be renewed for up to three years or until the award recipient has earned his or her training certifi cate, associate degree or bachelor’s degree. “Education is one of the core values for our eff orts to engage young people through our sport,” said Tony Reagins, Chief Baseball Development Offi cer, Major League Baseball. “We are incredibly proud to support these scholars in their endeavors to pursue their dreams. In addition to high caliber on-fi eld talent, the RBI program has produced countless upstanding citizens with careers in some of the most coveted industries, and we look forward to witnessing as these 12 individuals join the special brotherhood and sisterhood in the coming years.” Now at West Virginia State, Bowers is starting to settle in during a unique time for college students across the country. “It’s defi nitely diff erent because I have some online classes, some hybrid classes and some in-person classes,” he said. “For the most part I like it here at West Virginia State and I have some awesome teammates. Practices are way more mentally exhausting compared to how practices were in high school. It’s really a grind here in college but I love it because in college your coaches and teammates push you to your limits and that’s what I love because it only makes you better. All and all, college as a freshman during these times are diff erent but some things are really enjoyable.” Brendan Hader, Cincinnati Reds

Cincinnati Public Schools with new addition to CMAC Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Starting in the 2021-2022 school year, Spencer Center High School will offi cially join the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference as a full-time member for athletic competition. Spencer Center offi cially became an institution of education, as a part of the Cincinnati Public School District, in 2017 and currently caters to students in grades 3-11, with plans to introduce their fi rst senior class during their inaugural year in the CMAC. The Spencer Center for Gifted and Exceptional Students is a CPS magnet school and their athletic teams are the Wolfpack. The athletic department currently yields opportunities for students to compete in crosscountry (girls and boys), volleyball, basketball (girls and boys), baseball and track (girls and boys), with plans to continue growing in alignment with other CMAC off erings. The Wolfpack have not previously belonged to any athletic conference. After applying to be an Ohio High School Athletic Association member in 2019, Spencer has since spent time on their mandatory probationary period and the Wolfpack are on pace to become an offi cial OHSAA member next school year. “On behalf of Spencer Center High School, the athletics department and our students and families, we are excited to join the CMAC," Spencer Center Athletic Director Reid Finley said. "We feel strongly that the CMAC puts Spencer in the best position to succeed and we couldn’t be happier to have found our home." The CMAC already consists of Aiken, Gamble Mon-

Bid, laugh and make an impact at virtual party to help kids For the fi rst time ever, the public doesn’t have to buy a ticket to join one of the best and longest summer fundraising parties of the year. The Rotary Club of Cincinnati’s Believe 2 Achieve auction event, with comedian Josh Sneed and mixologist Molly Wellmann, is going virtual as a response to the COVID-19 health crisis. From Sept. 10 to Sept. 19, the public will have a chance to bid on vintage bourbons, including a rare bottle of 10year-old Old Rip Van Winkle handmade bourbon that you can’t fi nd in the liquor store. It is valued at $500. Additional auction items include fi ne art, from a Salvador Dali etching to a Jim Borgman cartoon, near and far vacations and gift baskets for everything from car care to dining. One-of-a kind experiences on the auction block include a quail hunting excursion with guides and Irish setters and fi shing on a private lake in Indian Hill. “The auction is a treasure hunter’s dream” said Rotary Executive Director Linda Muth of Anderson Township. “And you don’t have to leave your home to fi nd that treasure.” “Virtual” is becoming a way of life for nonprofi t fundraising during the pandemic, but Believe 2 Achieve is diff erent because the nonprofi t throwing the event isn’t taking one penny of the money raised, said event co-chair Carl Kappes III of Wyoming. Proceeds from the Rotary’s Believe 2 Achieve are divided among three nonprofi ts serving children with disabilities: Stepping Stones Camp Allyn, The Autism Society Greater Cincinnati and The Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati. Since Rotary started the event in 2012, Believe 2 Achieve has raised more than $1 million for the three charities, said Kappes, who is president of the Rotary Club of Cincinnati’s Rotary Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Rotary Club and organizer of the event. John Fahrmeier of Anderson Township also co-chairs the event. “This year it is more important than

ever because these three great organizations have been hit really hard during the pandemic,” said Kappes. “Income is down, a lot of fundraisers have been cancelled. They’ve had to invent new ways to get services to the kids and families that need them. And that means new expenses to keep those services safe and available.” The Rotary has been holding virtual meetings during the health crisis, so the virtual party is a natural extension. Details on how to join the party and bid are on the website www.cincinnatirotary.org Here’s how the public can participate. • BECOME A SPONSOR: Sponsorships from $250 up to $5,000 are available through September 11. Sponsor thank-you gifts include whiskey specially blended for Believe 2 Achieve by Mixologist Molly Wellmann for those at the $500 level and above. All sponsors receive gourmet chocolates and specialty cocktails mixed for the event by Wellmann and delivered to their homes prior to the event. Sponsors also are eligible for a drawing for dinner for 4 with wine

pairings at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza Hotel Palm Court. • SILENT AUCTION: silent auction bidding starts Sept.10 and ends the night of the event, Sept. 19. • HOUR OF POWER: The Believe 2 Achieve event is 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19, with co-MCs comedian Josh Sneed and Molly Wellmann. The evening will be fun-ﬁ lled with a special guest appearance by author and Reds bat boy Teddy Kremer, a cocktail demonstration by Wellman and a live auction featuring a spa trip to the Biltmore Hotel in Ashville, N.C. and a resort stay at the historic Victorian Hotel del Coronado in California with 100,000 Delta Skymiles included in the package. • SEND A CHILD 2 CAMP: The online campership drive will begin at the event and continues through Sept. 28. The camp drive supports the three organizations’ recreation, respite and education programs serving children with disabilities and their families throughout the year. “Our generous donors allow us to continue to oﬀ er classes like martial arts, cooking, music, educational webinars and more,” said Jim Hudson, executive director of the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati. “We had to adjust many of our programs and services,” said Hudson, of

Everyone learns a cheer and then they have the opportunity to perform at a variety of high schools throughout the area. Last month, cheerleading made its Virtual return. While everyone danced in their own room, the joy and sense of togetherness was palpable,” Hudson said. “It was a moment where we could connect and share a favorite activity.” Chris Adams, executive director of Stepping Stones, said his agency redesigned its summer camp programs to meet stringent health, safety and distancing protocols. “We took temperatures, sanitized hands, kept campers in small groups in outdoor shelters and program sites. We sanitized before and after every activity,” he said. Stepping Stones was one of four camps in the state allowed to operate, said Adams, of Terrace Park. and greater needs. This event is a way for everyone to help.” Peggy Kreimer Hodgson, Rotary Club of Cincinnati

COMMUNITY NEWS German ‘bier, brats and bands,’ at a safe social distance During a year when the coronavirus pandemic has kept people cooped-up in their homes, the “Big Biergarten Experience” gives folks a chance to get out of the house and to safely enjoy some great German “bier, brats and bands,” said Thomas Strain, a member of the Society’s Board of Trustees. The Germania Society, a nonproﬁ t social club that promotes German culture and helps local groups such as Boy Scouts, has been working all summer to put together a two-weekend event that adheres to government social-distancing and other health requirements. The Big Biergarten experience will enable people to gather safely and have a good time, spread out across 16 acres of Germania Park in Colerain Township, Strain said. The park is located at 3529 W. Kemper Road. The Society’s usual Oktoberfest, which typically attracts about 20,000 attendees over a single weekend in late August, was canceled because of government mandates forbidding large crowds. In place of the Oktoberfest, the Big Biergarten Experience has been set for a little later, Sept. 18-20. “It’ll be truly a cultural event, a touch of Oktoberfest, in a cozier atmosphere,” Strain said. Attendance is strictly limited to 1,000 people per day. Each person will be required to have a seat, per government rules. Seating is available in an open-air pavilion, under a tent, or in a rustic biergarten surrounded by trees. No admission will be permitted without advance purchase of tickets, which are $5 each. A $10 parking pass also must be pre-paid, unless people arrive at the park via Uber, Lyft or other transportation. Tickets, parking and detailed information are available under “Big Biergarten Experience” at Eventbrite.com, or at germaniasociety.com. Janice Hisle, Germania Society of Cincinnati
