‘We had nowhere to go’ JFS caseworker recalls BMV shooting Segann March | Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

“You guys need to run, this guy has a gun.” mber Sawyer said these words to people standing in line outside the Reading Bureau of Motor Vehicles June 9. Then she grabbed her 16-year-old client’s hand and ran to hide behind a U-Haul Truck. Just a few minutes later, a shot was ﬁ red. Sawyer, a Hamilton County adoption case worker, picked her client up around 7:30 a.m., so they could get in line early before the branch opened. Their plan was to get his state ID card and go job hunting. They stood in line for 45 minutes before the incident happened. Sawyer remembers a man being irate about the long line and screaming at them. “He went down to each us in line and called us devils,” she said. “He was screaming Bible verses.” She saw him pull out a gun and everyone scrambled. “It all happened really fast,” Sawyer said. “We heard one gunshot and thought somebody was hurt. We had nowhere to go. I’m just thankful no one was harmed or hurt.” The Hamilton County adoption caseworker was scared, but remained calm for her client and called family members. Police came shortly after and arrested the man. Police arrested 63-year-old Andrew Heard, of Clifton, for holding people at gunpoint, according to a release from the City of Reading Police Department. “It is unclear why Mr. Heard became so belligerent with innocent bystanders but we are thankful that they were unharmed and that he was compliant,” the police statement reads.

For the families of victims killed in unsolved murders, life has been at a standstill for a long time, even before the pandemic arrived. Over the next several weeks, The Enquirer will highlight a series of cold cases, summarized and analyzed by the journalists whose careers largely focus on unsolved murders: the creators of Cincinnati.com’s Accused podcast. If you have any information on any unsolved case, please reach out to the appropriate law enforcement agency. Suggestions for cases to highlight can be sent to accused@enquirer.com. The crime: When her daughter was young, Joan McCurdy sometimes wondered if she’d taken home the wrong baby from the hospital. “She was just so talented, and her mother was as plain as the day is long,” McCurdy said. “She played the clarinet, she danced ballet. I don’t know where I got her from because I can hardly play the radio.” McCurdy turns 92 in December and hasn’t seen or heard from her daughter, Linda Bowdre of Springﬁ eld Township, in 32 years. Bowdre disappeared at age 39 on Valentine’s Day in 1988. The victim: Bowdre was an only child whose mother’s voice still lightens when talking about her. “She was the most outgoing, happiest child, even when she was young,” McCurdy said. “She got my personality: See BOWDRE, Page 2A

“I just really admired her dedication. I was super proud of Amber for putting her own concerns aside and putting this young man ﬁ rst.” Anne Gross

Sawyer’s client was okay after the incident, so they decided to continue with their day. Successfully, as he landed a job. The Ohio Department of Jobs & Family Services is now recognizing Sawyer for her bravery and determination to get her client’s state ID after the incident. “I felt like any of us caseworkers would’ve stayed and made sure that he got what he needed,” Sawyer said. “The good news is that he got a job that day, See SHOOTING, Page 3A

Linda Bowdre was raised by her mother, Jan, and her stepfather. She disappeared after breakfast with her husband on Feb. 14, 1988. She is presumed dead and her case has gone cold. PROVIDED

First Phase of Glenwood Gardens to Winton Woods Trail Plan to Receive Federal Funding Segann March Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The ﬁ rst phase of the Glenwood Gardens to Winton Woods Trail plan is now underway. The four-mile regional trail will connect Glenwood Gardens in Woodlawn to neighboring Winton Woods in Springﬁ eld Township. Great Parks of Hamilton County recently received more than

$352,000 in federal funding from the Transportation Alternatives Program. The GG2WW project includes a new sidewalk from the bus stop at GlendaleMilford Road and Springﬁ eld Pike in Woodlawn and a new crosswalk sign across Glendale-Milford Road. The trail will remain in the design phase through 2021. Todd Palmeter, the CEO of Great Parks, said the shared-use trail will ex-

She never met an enemy. Everybody to me is someone I ought to get to know. She thought that, too.” “She’s always on my mind,” McCurdy, who lives in Tennessee, said over the phone. “I pray for her soul every night. I pray she’s in heaven and she can play all the instruments.” The circumstances: Though no body has been found, police considered Bowdre’s disappearance a homicide pretty much from the start. The 39-year-old had failed to show up for work on Monday, Feb. 15, 1988. That alone was alarming because the AT&T manager had a spotless attendance record. When she still hadn’t surfaced Tuesday, her supervisor reported her missing to police. No part of her has ever surfaced. About a week after she disappeared, Bowdre’s purse turned up in a Cincinnati mailbox. The last person known to have seen Bowdre alive was her husband of 18 years, Larry Bowdre, then a visiting professor of zoology at Miami University. The two had breakfast together at a Bob Evans. It might sound like a nice Valentine’s Day outing, but when police questioned Larry Bowdre about his wife’s disappearance, he told them she’d been having an aff air and must have run off with her boyfriend. Police confi scated more than 80 computer discs from her husband. One of the discs contained a letter to the wife of Linda’s boyfriend asking the wife for infor-

mation to discourage Bowdre from continuing the aﬀ air. The marriage: When anyone dies or disappears, police immediately zero in on the people closest to the victim because statistically, that’s who’s most likely to do you harm. (Enjoy that thought at the dinner table tonight.) In this case, that gut reaction was bolstered by a few key facts: Bowdre allegedly told her friends she’d fallen in love with a coworker and planned to divorce her husband. She took nothing from her home to indicate she’d

willingly left. And police reported that the Bowdre home smelled of bleach when they fi rst stopped by. She’d also recently made an appointment with a divorce lawyer. According to an affi davit, even Larry Bowdre seemed to get how it all must look to police: “In situations like this, the jealous husband is the prime suspect. I know she’s been murdered and I’m the prime suspect.” The search: It isn’t impossible to prosecute a murder case without a body, but it’s defi nitely more diffi cult. Springfi eld Township police took the search for Bowdre seriously, digging up sites at Winton Woods and in a garden near the Bowdre home. The Enquirer detailed the day’s fi ndings of one search in an April 21, 1988, story: Despite their eff orts, all they found were railroad spikes, a horseshoe, a doorknob and what looked like a drafting pen. If they’re going to make headway in a case this tough – not to mention this old – they’re going to need someone to step forward with new information. Got tips?

which was a milestone for him. This was his fi rst job.” Anne Gross, a Section Chief with HCJFS, said it’s harder for foster teens to fi nd jobs because of stereotypes and negative opinions. Caseworkers act as their parents and fi ght for them, she said. “So for him to be able to get that job and maintain it is a huge step for him,” she said. “You don’t have a parent that can sign for you to get your driver’s license.” Gross off ered Sawyer the option to take the day off . Sawyer wanted to keep her promise to the young man and stayed. “Caseworkers care so much about these kids,” Gross said. “I just really admired her dedication.

Over the course of eight years with HCJFS, Sawyer has experienced uncomfortable situations when visiting homes. None of them involved a gun until the BMV incident. “I’ve been in situations where someone let their dog out or a parent locked the door,” she said. “I expected all of this. This situation was totally unexpected.”

Dolores Lindsay, health care pioneer, retires Anne Saker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Hundreds and maybe thousands of Hamilton County residents are alive today because Dolores Lindsay doesn’t take no for an answer. “The purpose,” Lindsay said, “is to make a diff erence in the life of the individual.” At 83, though, the time arrived for Lindsay to make her own life diff erent. On Sept. 30, she retired after giving 53 years to the founding, building and leading of the Health Care Connection, a nearly $10 million network of facilities providing medical, dental and mental health services to more than 17,000 residents outside the city of Cincinnati. In 1967, with a $10,000 grant from the village of Lincoln Heights, Lindsay opened the fi rst health center – in a four-room apartment – to serve people who could not aff ord medical care. It was the fi rst federally qualifi ed health center in Ohio. Today, the Health Care Connection runs three standalone health centers, a school-based health center in the Princeton school district and two behavioral care offi ces in East Walnut Hills and Amelia. On Sept. 11, Lindsay presided at the grand opening of the Health Care Connection’s new Mount Healthy Family Practice offi ce on Compton Road. Lindsay led the project from inception nearly 10 years ago, and the ribbon cutting doubled as a celebration of Lindsay, with her fi ve children and eight grandchildren sharing the moment. Her husband of almost 60 years, Arthur, died in 2015, and Lindsay declared him a stalwart in the eff ort to bring medical care to people who didn’t have it. Honors and accolades have come to Lindsay, especially in the past year as retirement approached. But she said that while she is stepping away offi cially, she will still advocate for and raise money for the Health Care Connection. Her friends recalled that Lindsay’s determination made her a leader especially in tough times, but never at the expense of her family and Roman Catholic faith. LaVerne Mitchell started working with Lindsay in 1973 and now leads the Health Care Connection’s board. “I’ve seen times when the health en-

Dolores Lindsay, 83, retires this week after 53 years of ﬁ ghting for quality healthcare for the poor. She's photographed at the Mt. Healthy Family Practice Center, Monday, Sept. 28. Lindsay was instrumental in getting the non-proﬁ t opened. It took 10 years. The ribbon cutting was Sept. 11. It includes medical, dental, pediatrics and ob-gyn. She said it was important people would not be walking into something that was second class. LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER

ter was losing ﬁ nancially, and it’s like, you just keep going, and you bring everybody who’s connected to you into it,” Mitchell said. “We didn’t have money to pay custodians to clean the building. Dolores’s family cleaned the center, her, her children and her husband.”

Kathy Lorenz, director of the nonprofi t service group Mount Healthy Alliance, said Lindsay’s drive allowed residents in areas with no private health care nearby to live better lives. “Put her in the setting she was in: It wasn’t expected that women could do these kinds of things.” Lindsay was pregnant with her fi fth child when she started the Lincoln Heights Health Center. Democratic State Rep. Catherine Ingram, whose district includes Mount Healthy, said Lindsay’s persistence especially benefi ted the young mothers and babies with no access to health care. “There needed to be a way to get to a clinic, for young mothers, and she recognized that,” Ingram said. “She recognized what it was being left out.” Michael Lindsay, the fourth of Dolo-

res and Arthur Lindsay’s fi ve children, calls the health center “my fi fth sibling.” But as much as his mother gave to the center, he said, she gave in equal portion to her family. That, too, required the refusal to take no for an answer. When her children were young, the Lindsays liked pancakes on Friday mornings, and even distance would not stop the ritual. Michael said that while his mother earned a graduate degree in California, “just as soon as she fi nished class, she would catch a red-eye back to Cincinnati, and when we woke up, she’d be there fi xing pancakes.” “One of the things that she taught us – actually, she perfected it – was fi nding the balance between faith and family and purpose,” Michael Lindsay said. “She’s done a wonderful job of passing that down.”

The Rev. Geoff Drew leaves his arraignment Wednesday, August 21, 2019 at the Hamilton County Courthouse. CARA OWSLEY/THE ENQUIRER

Prosecutors: Priest Geoﬀ Drew had other victims who want to testify Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The statute of limitations is up, but other victims still plan to testify against West Side priest Rev. Geoﬀ Drew, according to court documents. Drew was arrested in August 2019 on nine counts of rape. Prosecutors say he raped a 10-yearold altar boy repeatedly beginning in 1988 while working as a music minister at St. Jude Elementary School and as a music teacher at Elder High School before becoming a priest. Drew's attorneys ﬁ led motions to dismiss the charges, but all of those motion were denied Tuesday by Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Leslie Ghiz. Drew is being held in jail on a $5 million bond and could spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted on all the charges. Ghiz’s ruling left the door open Oct. 13 for another alleged victim to testify at trial. Court documents state this St. Jude school student was under 13 when Drew

began grooming and then raping the child between 1985 and 1987. "Although this sexual abuse constituted rape, the crimes fall outside of the statute of limitations and that is why the state cannot indict Drew on additional charges," the documents say. Prosecutors also want to call a number of students and co-workers who want to testify about inappropriate touching, drinking on school trips and other behavior. According to court documents, one witness said: "he and his friends never wanted to get caught alone with Drew because it was unknown what would happen and because other students would make fun on anyone being 'alone with a creep.'" Judge Ghiz said Oct. 13 that some of this testimony could be allowed at trial, but it is subject to further objections from the defense. The decisions regarding this testimony were preliminary and will receive additional review. A trial date had not yet been scheduled in Drew's case, when this article was originally published.

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

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 want to maximize your enjoyment of a beer, proper glassware really enhances the experience. BEREZKA KLO/GETTY IMAGES

Drinking a lot of beer at home? HOW TO PICK THE PERFECT GLASS Matt Koesters Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

There’s really no wrong way to drink a beer. It’s pretty simple: Lift a container of beer to your mouth, tilt it toward you and imbibe the liquid that ﬂ ows from the container into your mouth. And if you’re the kind of person that enjoys just drinking beer out of the can or bottle, that’s totally ﬁ ne. You do you.

However, if you want to maximize your enjoyment of a beer, proper glassware really enhances the experience. It makes the beer-drinking experience one that indulges all of the senses. You can see the beer’s color, head and carbonation, as well as the lacing left behind after taking a sip. You can hear the ﬁ zzy hiss of carbonation. Your ability to enjoy the nose – the beer’s odor – is ampliﬁ ed. The glass adds to the tactile facet of the

experience, while the shape of the glass itself can augment the ﬂ avor of the beer it holds. Sadly, COVID-19 has caused most local breweries and many restaurants to forego serving their wares in glasses. If you buy a draft beer, there’s a strong chance it will be served in a plastic cup as a precautionary measure against the spread of the coronavirus. But that simply isn’t applicable in the comfort of one’s own home.

What glasses go with which beers? Beer glasses come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, and some styles of beer are associated with speciﬁ c types of glassware. Certain styles of beer are traditionally served in glasses that bear the same name as the style. A pilsner, for example, See GLASSWARE, Page 8A

Men’s Virility Restored in Clinical Trial; 275% More Blood Flow in 5 Minutes

is served in a pilsner glass, while wheat beers – such as hefeweizens and dunkelweizens, are served in weizen glasses. Both of these tapered glasses are taller and more cylindrical than most other types. But wheat beers and pilsners would both be just fi ne served out of the common American shaker pint glass, ie. the type of pint glass used in most bars. Why? Because the shaker pint shares similar qualities with the weizen and pilsner glasses: they’re tapered, cylindrical and can accommodate thick-headed beers. Stronger dark beers, on the other hand, should be served in a glass that is rounded and, ideally, wider on the bottom than the mouth of the glass. Snifters are the go-to glass for these types of beer, but goblets, chalices and tulip glasses all work, too. Why? It all boils down to two things: temperature and aroma. If a beer is at its best when it’s cold, a tubular glass increases the container’s surface area and serves to prevent your body temperature from warming its contents. Stouts, on the other hand, generally benefi t from warming while being enjoyed because of their complexity, and therefore benefi t from a snifter’s decreased surface area. They “open up” over time, causing diff erent aspects of the beer’s fl avor to become more pronounced, and the glass strengthens the beer’s nose by virtue of its tapered mouth. Put simply, the same principles that apply to wine glassware are at work with beer. Chilled white wines are served in taller, narrower glasses, while red wines are served in wider glasses. And yes, that means that if you don’t have any snifters or anything similar, a red wine glass is a fi ne way to enjoy a strong dark beer. You don’t need to have the perfect glassware for every style of beer. If you just remember to account for temperature and aroma, your glassware will enhance your beer-drinking experience.

Speaking of glassware The Ohio Craft Brewers Association has announced that Ohio Pint Day will be observed on Tuesday, Oct. 27. More than

100 member breweries across the state will have the limited edition glasses on sale, and $1 from each purchase will support the OCBA. The artwork on this year’s pint glass depicts Ohio’s state bird, the cardinal, as a phoenix. “The phoenix is a powerful creature that represents transformation and rebirth,” said artist Adam Hernandez. “This year, 2020 has brought to light many ugly issues that we need to address and change as a nation. I believe that these changes can start in our personal lives. My goal is that when the community sees the Cardinal Phoenix they will be challenged to look inward and see how they too can be transformed.” This year’s pint glass takes the shape of a 16-ounce can, representing the changes many breweries were forced to make to keep their businesses aﬂ oat in the midst of the pandemic.

worth A Ford F-150 with Trump signage rides in the "Trump Parade Cincinnati Ohio" on Interstate 275 in Fairﬁ eld o on Saturday, Sept. 12. ALBERT CESARE/THE ENQUIRER

More Trump parades scheduled in Cincinnati Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A second Trump parade is scheduled in Cincinnati for Saturday, Oct. 24, according to a Facebook event page. More than 1,000 Facebook users say they are going to the event, and another nearly 5,000 people responded as "interested" in the parade. The fi rst parade in support of President Donald Trump was held Sept. 12. Trump supporters circled the Tristate along the Interstate 275 bypass in cars, trucks and motorcycles, bearing signs, banners and fl ags, honking and waving for more than two hours. Karen Mills, 57, who organized the fi rst parade, told The Enquirer the turnout for that event was "fantastic," with more than 30 gathering points and riders from across the Tristate, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia. "It is breathtaking," Mills said. "People are honking their horns. They have decorated their vehicles. The patriotism has been out of sight." This time, the parade is being organized by Ryan Stenger and Jake Conner. The Facebook event page was created

on Oct. 6. "As you see this Ryan and I would greatly appreciate shares! We want to get the loop ﬁ lled with all of our patriotic supporters! TRUMP TRAIN 2020," Conner posted Oct. 6. Those wishing to participate can choose from more than 35 staging areas, from Sharonville, Ohio to Lawrenceburg, Indiana to Florence, Kentucky. Organizers hope to have one or two group leaders at each of those gathering points, according to the event page. The "Fill The Loop Round 2" event is scheduled for 10 a.m. to noon on Oct. 24. Participants will merge onto Interstate 275 from their gathering point and circle the highway loop in the middle or right lanes. Other local, upcoming Trump parades: h A Trump parade is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 31 at 10 a.m. in Crittenden, Kentucky, according to a Facebook event. Participants will line up at Grant County Park and ride from Crittenden to Corinth. h A Trump parade is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 1 at 2 p.m. in Dayton, Ohio, according to a Facebook event.

Rita’s creamy Zuppa Toscana soup is a delicious taste of Italy Rita’s Zuppa Toscana Hot Italian sausage has hot red pepper and fennel. Fennel is a licorice flavored herb that gives Italian sausage its distinctive flavor. Use sweet Italian sausage and add red pepper flakes if you want. Or regular sausage with a little fennel added, along with red pepper. Use recipe as a guide. It’s one that’s hard to measure exactly. Go to taste, OK? Ingredients 1 pound hot Italian sausage 8 oz. bacon, diced (I used thick bacon) 1 large onion, diced (a good 2 cups) 1 heaping tablespoon garlic, minced (3 nice cloves) 1 bay leaf (optional but good) 7-8 cups low sodium chicken broth A good 2 pounds potatoes, 5 cups or so after peeling and dicing

Rita’s Zuppa Toscana soup features kale grown in her garden.

As much kale as you like (I used several handfuls chopped)

Rita’s Kitchen

Cook sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a potato masher, until done. Remove.

Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

In same pot, cook bacon, remove, but leave drippings.

A few weeks ago, my red/purple kale in the garden got buggy – holes in leaves from cabbage butterﬂ y caterpillars. I cut it way back and gave trimmings to the “girls”/chickens. That trim gave the kale a boost. It started sprouting new leaves pretty quick. Enough for an updated version of one of my family’s favorite soups using this nutritious green: like the muchloved Zuppa Toscana soup from Olive Garden. Now you can use any kind of kale in this recipe. If you don’t have kale, turnip greens work well, too. To me, they’re a bit stronger, so keep that in mind. For potatoes, red and Yukon Gold hold their shape pretty well. Idaho will be starchier and tend to break up which

Cook onion, garlic and bay in the drippings until onions are fairly soft. Put onion in ﬁ rst, then the garlic and bay. That way the garlic won’t burn. Add broth and potatoes. Bring to boil, lower to gentle boil and cook until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

Red/purple kale cooks up green.

Add sausage and bacon back along with kale. Cook a few minutes to wilt kale and bring flavors together.

makes them thicken the soup a bit more. Update Mississippi roast Readers had some questions. Here are answers: I don’t remove fat from the chuck roast. You can if you want. Leave it whole if it ﬁ ts in the crockpot. Or cut up if necessary. Peppers are usually put in whole, not seeded, and after they cook, can be cut up, or removed depending upon taste. They can be sliced or chopped and seeded before cooking if you want.

Stir in cream and heat through. Adjust seasonings. Remove bay. Sprinkle with cheese. Secret ingredient to thicken soups: Dry mashed potato flakes! Really. This works with what I call “creamy” soups, like this. After soup is done, add some potato flakes. Not too much. Stir and see soup thicken up. Add more if necessary. Tips: No whipping cream? Use half & half or evaporated milk.

SPORTS A forfeit by Taylor moves Wyoming on in DIV playoﬀ s Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Undefeated Wyoming High School will advance in the Ohio Division IV playoff s without playing Oct. 17. Their opponent, the Taylor Yellowjackets have been forced to cancel the second-round matchup due to a COVID-19 incident. This comes after the Yellowjackets won their fi rst-ever playoff game with a 49-6 win over Northwestern with junior quarterback Mark Snowden throwing for fi ve touchdowns. The Yellowjackets and Cowboys did meet the week before to end the regular season in the Cincinnati Hills League with Wyoming winning 49-0. “I think everybody’s disappointed,” Wyoming athletic director Jan Wilking said. “I’m sure Taylor’s disappointed, their fans, kids and coaches just as our fans, kids and coaches are disappointed. 2020, this is a part of what we all knew would be a part of our fall season. Your heart breaks for everybody involved.” Taylor AD Larry Herges went from the high of seeing the Yellowjackets vol-

leyball team end Wyoming’s 152-game CHL win streak last night to having to pull his school’s football team out of the playoff s. “It’s unfortunate this has happened,” Herges said. “I feel horrible for our kids. They work hard and we worked hard to make sure they stayed on the fi eld. When it hits us we have to deal with it. Everything we do is for these kids and now we have to stop a playoff run be-

cause of COVID. It’s not easy and it’s not fun.” The 2018 Division IV champion Cowboys did not seek another game on Oct. 16. “It’s a risk/reward thing,” Wilking said. “It’s Wednesday night. They (the coaches) have pretty long term goals for this season as do the kids. They thought spending another week would put us in the best position to do what

we plan to do.” Taylor also had to brieﬂ y stop boys soccer for COVID-19 concerns. Herges says he’s amazed and thankful for what the school’s been able to do in getting seven football games in and 14 soccer games. Wyoming now advances to face the winner of St. Paris Graham/Eaton back at Bob Lewis Stadium on Bernie Barre Field Saturday, Oct. 24. St. Paris Graham is 6-0 while Eaton is 3-4. If everything goes according to seed, the Cowboys could play No. 2 seed Indian Hill Halloween Night, Oct. 31. The two bitter rivals didn’t face each other during the OHSAA-sanctioned shortened season brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. Taylor came into the Wyoming game at 3-4. If healthy, the Yellowjackets plan to have a season-ending game with Harrison Oct. 30. A previously scheduled game with Hughes on Oct. 23 will in all likelihood not be played. Wyoming was 13-1 last season, falling in the DIV state semiﬁ nals to the eventual champion Clyde.

Roger Bacon's Corey Kiner takes the ball into the endzone for a Spartans' touchdown, Sept. 4. GEOFF BLANKENSHIP/FOR THE ENQUIRER

LSU commit Corey Kiner has eye-popping numbers Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – Oct. 13. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. ST. BERNARD - Southwest Ohio’s best candidate for Ohio’s Mr. Football has yet to play a full game, but that should not be held against him. In six games thus far, senior Corey Kiner, who committed to LSU in May, has run for 1,296 yards and scored 26 touchdowns for Roger Bacon who is 6-0 and ranked No. 7 in Ohio Division V. He’s an automatic ﬁ rst down and then some, averaging 13.6 yards per carry and 216 yards per game. But, that doesn’t tell half the story. Actually, some games have seen Kiner out at halftime or by the third quarter.

Out of 24 possible quarters, he’s watched 8.5 from the sideline. “He hasn’t played into the fourth quarter but maybe one game,” Roger Bacon coach Mike Blaut said. “Most of the time it’s only been two or three quarters he’s been playing. He makes it easy for us in terms of the oﬀ ense. He’s scoring about every third play, every fourth play. That makes life a lot easier.” It’s not punishment. It truly is in an eﬀ ort to stop Kiner from punishing the opposition. The Spartans have had a running clock in each game. “I always tell Coach (Blaut) I want to score 10 touchdowns, score every time I touch the ball,” Kiner said. “Obviously, we can do that. We practice sportsmanship. We don’t want to run the score up on everybody. I’m out the beginning of the third quarter or halfway through the third quarter.”

The big leads cut down on his rushing attempts, as does the 30-point rule. By OHSAA rules, a 30-point spread in the second half results in a running clock. Against Purcell Marian, there was a running clock in the third quarter in a 34-0 victory. In week two against CHCA it was a running clock with a 42-7 halftime edge. In scoring 82 points against Norwood, the Spartans had a second-quarter 55-20 lead and a second-half running clock. Versus Summit Country Day, his 97yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter made for a 37-7 ﬁ nal and a running clock. Against Cincinnati College Prep Academy, the 41-8 halftime edge called for the running clock, as it did the following week against North College Hill 34-0. See KINER, Page 2B

LEXINGTON – Mark Stoops and two of his assistant coaches made a special trip Oct. 11 to deliver the game ball from Kentucky’s fi rst win of the season. One day after the Wildcats’ 24-2 win over Mississippi State, Stoops, recruiting coordinator Vince Marrow and inside linebackers coach Jon Sumrall took the game ball to junior linebacker Chris Oats, who recently returned to his Cincinnati home from a rehabilitation center. “It was important for us to try to play well for him and try to inspire Chris to continue with his rehab,” Stoops said after the win. Oats suff ered a non-COVID-19 related medical emergency this summer. UK has declined to provide specifi cs about Oats’ condition, but his brother, Sosa Woods, recently posted on Twitter that Oats had returned home. A diff erent UK player is wearing Oats’ No. 22 jersey each game this season. Oats’ teammates have set up a GoFundMe page to help his family pay for his medical bills at 22OATSSTRONG.COM. Wearing the No. 22 jersey, Davis intercepted a pass in the end zone on the fi nal play of the fi rst half to keep Mississippi State off the board and totaled 11 tackles. Tight end Keaton Upshaw, Oats’ former roommate who wore the No. 22 jersey the previous week, caught Kentucky’s fi rst touchdown of the game. Several UK players and coaches noted on their social media accounts the fact UK’s fi rst win had come by a margin of 22 points was a fi tting tribute to Oats. “It was very emotional for me all day, thinking about him and seeing that he just got to go home,” Davis said. “I just wanted to do whatever I could to play well for him and his family, my brothers beside me as well.”

Prep water polo moves to spring Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

SYCAMORE TOWNSHIP - Though Nick Hellwig is able to spend quality time with his family near a pool the rest of the summer, he’ll be away from the aquatic life he’s used to this fall. Hellwig, head water polo coach at Sycamore High School, was among the state coaches who voted to move their teams to spring 2021 for competition. Still not sanctioned by the OHSAA, the coaches voted on the move July 26 and word leaked out July 27. “We had all but three coaches from the state on the meeting,” Hellwig said. “We discussed the problems that we had, the worries that we had with soccer and football already having cases come down. With the new OHSAA protocols and precautions, we didn’t think we could have a season.” One such protocol that would have been diffi cult was related to volleyball, where they advised teams not to switch benches during the contest (which now occurs after each period). In water polo, switching is a necessity with games being played in shallow to deep sections. The splash for spring water polo affects Sycamore, Mason, Princeton, Milford, Walnut Hills (Cincinnati Public Schools-combined team), Mavericks (club), St. Xavier and Oakwood out of Dayton. Last season, the club compilation team (schools that don’t off er water polo), the Mavericks, were the state girls runners-up to Upper Arlington. On the boys side, St. Xavier fi nished third in the state tournament. The season fl ip will also present some new scenarios. Previously some swimmers would use fall water polo to

condition for the winter swim session. Now, the players will be coming from the swim team and throwing a ball and net into the equation. “The upside is we’ll get kids coming out of swim season really in shape,” Hellwig said. “The downside is we lose the lacrosse and the baseball players we’ve been able to pick up.” Hellwig coaches the Marlins club water polo team, which did have some activity this off season, despite some restrictions. “We did a skill summer where we had three pods,” he said. “We went 45 minutes two nights a week. The diff erent pods didn’t meet so it was all just skill training. We had about 30 kids from Mason, Milford, Sycamore, Turpin, St. Xavier, some other privateschool kids and one came all the way down from Springboro.” Among the dilemmas with the spring switch will be fi nding postseason tournament venues. The coach’s organization was going to have a regional format this season, then the fi nals. “Pools could put in bids to host it this year,” Hellwig said. “I know St. X and Princeton put in bids. In the north, Napoleon and UA (Upper Arlington). State was either at Princeton or St. X. The problem with spring now is St. X’s pool is scheduled for renovation starting in March.” Other spring curveballs include running a state tournament around graduations, plus state testing dates and the ever-popular spring breaks. On the other hand, it’s a headache worth having for a season. Hellwig and others would rather have the preparation time than attempt a fall season that could be shut down.

Associate Professor Dave Kelley of the University of Cincinnati would rather not grade the papers of his Masters in Sports Administration students when there’s a better alternative. As a result, some area high schools have benefi ted and several of his graduates are employed in prominent athletic departments in Greater Cincinnati. All by not grading papers? Well, in lieu of the standard blue book or lengthy thesis, Kelley has had his students partner with local Cincinnati and some regional schools for something more meaningful than a grade. With fi nancial hardship being a byproduct of the coronavirus pandemic, every school is looking for ways to replace revenue lost due to the cancellation of spring athletics and the social distancing required this fall with limited spectators. In recent years Kelley has had his Master’s students in “Applied Financial Management Strategies in Athletics” team up with local schools to fi nd athletic dollars that might not be available to all schools. “I wanted to create a course that would end up benefi ting a number of schools,” Kelley said. “I have them (students) go through the grant-writing process from cradle to grave to where they can hand it off to the athletic director of that school.” Kelley’s student, Matt Demarco, worked with a former Bearcat student, Alex Mallue, the athletic director at Riverview East Academy. Together, they applied for the Good Sports grant. With help from Kelley’s current students, his old student Mallue applied and was awarded grant money that paid for sports equipment, apparel and footwear for the athletes at Riverview East, a school in the Cincinnati Public School district. The project not only helped Riverview East but also Oyler as Demarco struck up a conversation during a basketball game with their AD leading to more grant money for a CPS school. “A big need of ours was additional equipment, football hitting dummies, anything like that,” Mallue said. “This student went out and found Good Sports, which I had never heard of. It’s a company that specializes in giving out equipment to schools like us that don’t have as many resources. We worked on the grant together and ended up being rewarded an equipment grant.” The grant doesn’t come in a dollar amount but covers a certain amount of athletic equipment. Mallue says it all adds up, citing the cost of an OHSAA basketball is $80-90. Cincinnati Public Schools like Riverview East are funded by Activities Beyond the Classroom. Unlike bigger CPS schools like Walnut Hills, Taft and Hughes, who bring in a fair amount of money from basketball, Riverview East really relies on the ABC money. However,

With help from Dave Kelley’s students, Riverview East was awarded grant money that paid for sports equipment, apparel and footwear for the athletes.

Kiner Continued from Page 1B

Going 95 yards on nine carries was his low mark Oct. 2 vs. North College Hill, while his 363 yards and seven scores against Norwood Sept. 11 are school records. For kicks, Roger Bacon Assistant AD Brandon Spaeth mathematically ﬁ gures Kiner’s number over all 24 quarters of the six games and it came to 2,007 yards for 40 touchdowns and an average of 334.5 yards per game. For perspective, in 12 games last season, Kiner ran for 2,298 yards. Doubling this year’s totals and assuming similar competition, he would be more than 4,000 yards. That would obliterate the current OHSAA record of 3,472

set by Ross Franklin of JohnstownMonroe in 2011. “We’re winning so I’m not really too worried about my stats,” Kiner said. “Me scoring touchdowns takes the pressure oﬀ everybody else. Defense gets to focus on stopping the other team and getting the ball back to the oﬀ ense. It’s makes everything much easier.” Is he the next Ohio Mr. Football? Well, it took 27 years for Greater Cincinnati to snare that award after Norwood’s Marc Edwards won it before heading to Notre Dame. Wyoming’s Evan Prater won the honor last season before heading to the University of Cincinnati. However, it was a close call among Southwest Ohio voters with then-junior Kiner right up there in the voting with Prater. The 5-foot-10, 210-pound frequent visitor to the end zone still remains com-

the ABC budget is currently frozen, making the grant help more of a necessity. “The pandemic really hit us all hard, but really hit Activities Beyond the Classroom hard,” Mallue said. “The fact that we have this grant now to go out and get this equipment could not have come at a better time.” This semester, Kelley’s students have again partnered with Mallue at Riverview East as well as Purcell Marian assistant AD Reid Hollinger and Purcell Marian AD and head football coach D.J. Dowdy (a former Cincinnati Bearcat tight end) to seek grant opportunities. Hollinger is helping apply for a grant with the NFL and Cincinnati Bengals that could lead to turf replacement on Purcell Marian’s practice fi eld. The fi eld behind the school is less than 100 yards and Hollinger estimates the turf is 10 years old. Prior to its construction, the Cavaliers would board a bus to practice at Eden Park. “I did this project when I was in school,” Hollinger said. “This would be a huge help and a lot less work on our end. It’s defi nitely time to replace it. That turf fi eld is used between both of our soccer teams, football teams and when we’re not in COVID, youth teams. It would be huge to get at least a little bit of money from the NFL to help replace it.” Harrison High School just recently installed new turf through the help of the Bengals and the NFL Grassoorts Program to the tune of $250,000. Purcell Marian’s grant would go through the same process. “The less you can go and ask of alumni and local businesses the more you’re able to use their money for something else,” Hollinger said. Kelley’s students are scattered throughout Cincinnati and the U.S. In addition to Mallue, Hollinger and Dowdy, Roger Bacon’s Brandon Spaeth, Milford’s Aaron Zupka, Andrew Mueller of Hughes and Brian Reinhart of La Salle are among those mentored by Kelley, who can often be seen at weekend prep events throughout Greater Cincinnati. Kelsey Mitchell of Princeton/Ohio State/WNBA is a recent grad and current Bearcats wide receiver Michael Young Jr. is in the program. “Oftentimes athletic directors don’t have the human or fi nancial resources to do grant-writing,” Kelley said. “We’re sort of fi lling that need. Our graduate students are interacting with the athletic department, gathering the demographic information of the school and doing what’s necessary to get everything prepared to apply for the grant.” In the end, the UC students graduate with a tangible skillset; the ability to generate revenue. They also get a realistic look at the fi nancial constraints the many public/parochial schools face. “The AD role has changed dramatically the last 15-20 years,” Kelley said. “There’s a lot more to it in terms of planning and fi nancial components. If you can demonstrate that you can generate revenue on a consistent basis through corporate sponsorship or grantsmanship, they’re going to fi nd a place for you.”

mitted to LSU, where he was recruited by former New England Patriots back Kevin Faulk, also a former Tiger. He hears from the coaches and is part of a weekly chat with other LSU commits. Unlike Wyoming’s Prater and Princeton’s Paris Johnson Jr. a year ago, Kiner has yet to earn an invite to a prep all-star bowl game, which is somewhat puzzling for an SEC recruit with his numbers. He wonders if he needs to run for 500 yards or will he get the chance to if the Spartans have another comfortable cushion. Faulting Roger Bacon for a weak schedule is also hardly fair as COVID-19 forced schools into a six-game menu, then virus breakouts began aﬀ ecting games. “At one point we were playing Oak Hills and we were playing Northwest,” Blaut said. “We were going to play Hamilton Badin and McNick, which we play

every year. When the schedule came out, it was ‘we’ve got to play who we’ve got to play.’ We’ve had six nice wins in a row, now we’re starting everything again going into the playoff s.” Blaut is a bit concerned that his team hasn’t been tested. On the other hand, the Spartans are hungry to return after a controversial call knocked them out of the playoff s a year ago against Germantown Valley View. This year’s motto has been Unfi nished Business. “Our kids have come out and made sure one call’s not going make a decision this year,” Blaut said. Roger Bacon hosted Carlisle Saturday night. Should they keep winning they have the chance to continue hosting games at Bron Bacevich Stadium all the way through the regional fi nal as the No. 1 seed. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates.

hundreds of trees and plants from around the world. It’s the perfect place to see some fall foliage and get a walk in. Also ﬁ tting with the season, Spring Grove has a reputation for being one of the most haunted places in Cincinnati. One of the monuments at Spring Grove is the bust of Cincinnati real estate magnate Charles Breuer, known because the eyes on the sculpture are made of glass. According to the Ohio Ghost Hunter Guide, the eyes of the bust are said to follow whoever walks past. Some even say that the eyes of the bust were made from Breuer’s own eyes. That is not true. 4521 Spring Grove Ave., Spring Grove Village; springgrove.org.

Fall foliage. Pumpkin everything. Halloween haunts. Autumn doesn’t bring just a change in weather, it brings a mood and activities reserved speciﬁ cally for this time of year. Ohio has a little bit of it all: places for family fun, romantic getaways, delicious fall harvests. Since a lot of the fall festivities are outdoors, many of them will not be affected by the pandemic. Still, some of the larger celebrations this year have been canceled due to COVID-19. In 2020, you can’t dress up and attend the Ohio Renaissance Festival. Oxford’s Apple Butter Festival has been canceled. Sadly, the Ohio Sauerkraut Festival in Waynesville has been canceled as well. But the pandemic hasn’t stopped it all. Here’s the Ohio fall bucket list:

Due to the pandemic, Burger Farm has made some changes including mask requirements for staﬀ and added social distancing measures. Admission is $12 on Saturday and Sunday.

Haunted houses are another important part of fall. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine strongly recommended that haunted houses be canceled this year but that hasn’t stopped some local haunts from planning their season.

Gary Larson, of Edmonds, Wash., is a retired comedian. He spent the last 15 years of his career entertaining on cruise ships, where crosswords were a way to pass the time between shows. One day a clue-and-answer combination in a New York Times crossword cracked him up, and he thought, Why don’t I try making one of these? I love writing jokes. How hard can it be to fit them into a puzzle? He found out. This is his 592nd puzzle. It’s his fourth in The Times. — W.S.

COMMUNITY NEWS Sharonville resident introduces millions of Americans to coin collecting Coin collecting is just a hobby to most Americans. Sharonville’s Blake Alma begs the diﬀ er. In January, Blake started a coin collectors video blog and named it CoinHub on video-sharing app TikTok. CoinHub amassed over 1 million video views and 20,000 followers just in the ﬁ rst month of launching his blog. After that, the blog growth slowed due to lack of video posting until recently. Blake revived CoinHub by creating a video about a beverage bottle cap coin that is made silver and legal currency in the country of Fiji. The video accumulated more than a quarter-million views and doubled his follower count to 40,000. Blake then started making videos about the values of rare and error struck coins. There has he had the most success. In just the past month, the blog has more received more than 20 million video views. CoinHub is now one of most recognizable names in coin collecting with more than 300,000 followers. CoinHub grows in mass number each day. To learn more, check out the blog on TikTok at “coinhub.” For more on Blake, you can visit his website at blakealma.com. Jason Morgan

Colerain resident honored with National Transit Award For the fourth time, Metro has received the top honor among mid-size transit systems for security excellence from the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), a national organization representing the transit industry for more than 100 years. Metro’s security programs are led by Colerain resident Mike Weil, Director of Security for CinWeil cinnati Metro.

land Security, the regional Emergency Management Agency and local law enforcement. Under Weil’s direction, Metro also previously earned APTA’s Gold Award for Security Excellence in 2014, 2015 and 2018. The APTA Bus Safety & Security Excellence Awards recognize innovative and proactive safety and security programs conducted by public transport providers. The awards help the industry by benchmarking successful programs so other systems can implement and fi ne-tune their programs based on the fi ndings of their peers. “Congratulations to the award-winning public transit systems for their successful safety and security transportation programs that are models of excellence for the industry,” said APTA President and CEO Paul P. Skoutelas. “The safety and security of our passengers is and will always be our top priority,” said Darryl Haley, Metro CEO & General Manager. “We are incredibly honored to be recognized by APTA as an industry leader for our eff orts to ensure that all riders have a safe and secure ex-

perience every trip.” Among its security practices, Cincinnati Metro has installed customer-facing monitors that broadcast a live feed of on-board security cameras to promote customer safety and security on board. Metro also utilizes real-time, wireless video monitoring equipment to assist law enforcement in the event of security incidents, and has put into place a number of security related programs and partnerships for operator and emergency personnel training. Metro is a non-proﬁ t, tax-funded public service of the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority, providing about 13.5 million rides per year. Learn more about Metro at www.go-metro.com.

Magnifi ed Giving donor is honored Evendale resident Joyce Kupfer Mulderig, was recently honored by the Greater Cincinnati Planned Giving Council (GCPGC) as a Voices of Giving Award recipient, for her selfl ess generosity and foresight in contributing a lasting gift to Magnifi ed Giving. Kupfer Mulderig has played a role in the mission of Magnifi ed Giving since its inception in 2008, as a volunteer and loyal donor. A lifetime friend of its founder, Roger Grein, she shares his dedication to youth development. She is a member of the organization’s Board of Directors as well, and chairs its Nominating Committee. Her gift was made on behalf of her parents, John A. and Jean M. Kupfer, whose estate provided a gift to Magnifi ed Giving for the purchase of a building an endowment of funds to maintain it. Such generosity means the organization now has a permanent home, will not have to fund raise for capital expenses

Stepping Stones hosted its annual Bloom Gala virtually on Sept. 12. The ﬁ rst event of its kind for the organization, Stepping Stones netted more than $242,000 to beneﬁ t year-round programming for children, teens and adults with disabilities. Allie Martin from WCPO’s Cincy Lifestyle hosted this year’s virtual event: Bloom, Boots and Bourbon. The event featured a special appearance by Chef Cristian Pietoso of Via Vite as well as a featured drink courtesy of Comfort Station & Sundry and Vice. Attendees raised money for the organization by participating in a silent auction with over 50 packages and by purchasing gardening kits for program participants. Several Stepping Stones supporters hosted “Mini Blooms” where they watched the virtual event from home with friends and family. “Stepping Stones is an organization that perseveres in times of hardship,” said Elizabeth Rogers (Indian Hill), Bloom host. “After the pandemic started, the Stepping Stones development team worked to transition Bloom into a virtual event and I was impressed with how smoothly the event went. We will continue our support, and hope to see everyone back in person next year.” The event’s presenting sponsor was Huntington Bank. Diamond sponsors were Susie & Neil Bortz, the Chemed Foundation and the Pettengill Family. Gold sponsors were Beth & Doug Brendamour of Brendamour Warehousing. See COMMUNITY NEWS, Page 12B

SCHOOL NEWS Retired Mt. Healthy City School District teacher who returned for the students honored as Support Staff Person of the Year As a retired teacher with more than 30 years experience, Nan Wells knew exactly what was needed of her in the Response to Intervention classroom as a paraprofessional. She worked diligently with students instructing and leading groups daily. She learned new programs, built relationships with students, communicated with classroom teachers about progress, and taught six Reading RtI groups daily. During Remote Learning in the spring, she continued to teach and assist students virtually to improve their reading

skills. She held half hour sessions with third graders who were still struggling with reading to encourage them and help them stay on track. “Mrs. Wells not only keeps the students on her mind, she also cares about the welfare of the staff ,” explained Angela Martin. She joined the staff engagement committee, helped organize, set up, and cleaned up after staff luncheons, none of which was ever required of her. She has an amazing gift of storytelling that entertains the students and staff alike, and all her stories of Mt. Healthy staff and students would all be told with love. “Nan supports all students and staff with a wealth of knowledge and positivity! She goes above and beyond to help

our little Owls; She is very patient and kind, and she frequently checks in on her students,” stated Megan Bolser, kindergarten teacher. As Nan Wells heads into her second retirement, the staﬀ and students of Mt. Healthy City School District wish her all the love and happiness that she has provided throughout the years in the district. Mt. Healthy North Principal Michael Lindsay described her saying, “Mrs. Wells cared for every student in the building. If a child was struggling in her room or struggling in the hallway, they knew she was there to help them. Her heart is bigger than the normal size. It is truly a teacher’s heart,” Missy Knight, Mt. Healthy City School District

Nan Wells accepts her award for Support Person of the Year with Mt. Healthy City School District. PROVIDED
