SWAT spends 2 hours at a Green Township home Suspect they wanted gets arrested 3 miles away Cameron Knight and Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The man that sent Green Township residents indoors and prompted a soft lockdown at three schools Thursday was found three miles away from where a SWAT team responded to his home. Christopher Mushrush, 39, was located walking at the intersection of Van Blaricum Road and Hillside Avenue, police said. He was taken into custody and charged with attempted arson. Police say he could face other charges as well. At Mushrush’s home on Melissaview Court, a SWAT team spent approximately two hours urging Mushrush – long gone by then – to come out of his home after his father called police. Mushrush had threatened to burn himself and the house, police said. The incident began as a domestic dispute between Mushrush and his father, said Green Township Police Chief Jim Vetter. Mushrush poured gasoline onto the basement ﬂ oor and grabbed a lighter, threatening suicide. His father managed to grab the gasoline and lighter from Mushrush before ﬂ eeing the residence and calling police. Weapons were in the home, Vetter said. Three schools are located in the area. “It was probably the worst place this could occur,” Vetter said. At 2 p.m., the Hamilton County Emergency Management Agency issued an alert to Green Township residents in the area of Melissaview Court and Greenmount Drive to go indoors

A man who authorities said kidnapped and killed a 3-year-old boy could walk out of prison next year, although the victim’s family is fi ghting hard to make sure that doesn’t happen. On June 18, 1982, 3-year-old Jason Evers disappeared in Springfi eld Township. For hours, his loved ones searched for any sign of him. “It’s really been hard for me. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about what happened,” Robert “Bob” Evers, Jason’s father, said. “It was devastating. I couldn’t believe it.” Eventually, their eff orts came to a soul-shattering conclusion. Jason’s body was found in a shallow grave near the playground at the Powel Crosley YMCA, relatives said. “Just unbelievable,” Ron Evers, Jason’s uncle, said. “We searched for six weeks looking for his body.” Adrian Williams, then 17, became the prime suspect. Williams tried to get ransom for Jason, Bob Evers said, but was caught by the FBI. Williams Investigators revealed that Williams had lured Jason into the woods, kidnapped him, killed him and then buried his remains. He was ultimately convicted of kidnapping and involuntary manslaughter. Now, 37 years into his 50-year sentence, Williams has another shot at freedom - a parole hearing in 2020. Jason’s loved ones have started a petition that is circulating online and on paper. It demands that Williams stay in prison and urges the parole board to not grant Williams parole. To Jason’s family, Williams is not only a cold-hearted child killer but a dangerous man. “He killed my son, a defenseless 3year-old baby,” Bob Evers said. “We’re Jason’s voice right now. Jason can’t speak for himself, so this petition will help keep Williams in jail.” See PAROLE, Page 2A

This is not the ﬁ rst time Williams has been up for parole, and if he remains in prison, he will likely face a parole board again. Although they say it may feel like a never-ending battle, Jason’s family members are willing to ﬁ ght forever. “We always wonder, what would Jason look like? Would he be playing ball with us? Would he be karaokeing with us? It’s still sad,” Ron Ever said. “He would’ve been 40 this year, and he’s been gone all these years. Now, this guy wants to get out. He’s gotta serve his 50 years.” Adrian Williams’ parole hearing is set for February 2020. Enquirer media partner Fox19 provided this report.

West Side youth soccer coach arrested on child porn charges Madeline Mitchell and Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A local youth soccer coach was arrested Oct. 16 after police found multiple child pornography ﬁ les in his possession, according to court records. Brian Hronek, 48, of Monfort Heights East, is charged with 10 counts of pandering child porn. Police said they found more than 220 images and videos of child pornography on his laptop during a search of his home. Hronek was the head coach of a Cincinnati West Soccer Club team, ac-

cording to the Greater Cincinnati Soccer League website. He has since been relieved of his duties, club oﬃ cials told The Enquirer. Hronek During a search of Hronek’s residence, computer and cell phone, investigators found images and videos that included children as young as seven months old being raped by adult men, according to court documents. One of those videos is approximately 48 minutes in length. Police also said there were more than 100 web searches containing “known child pornography terms” on his cell phone.

Some images showed naked children tied to trees or to beds, the documents state. One image showed a naked 1year-old girl with “s***” and “b****” written on her picture, documents said. Rick Blessing, Cincinnati West President, said the soccer club learned of the investigation by the sheriﬀ ’s oﬃ ce on Oct. 10. “Law enforcement indicated that none of our players were involved in the investigation,” Blessing said. “Our Director of Coaching immediately relieved the coach of his duties with the club.” Blessing said Hronek passed all mandatory background checks required by our organization as well as Ohio Youth Soccer.

EDITOR’S NOTE

Correction Some of the tax ﬁ gures cited in the story "Failed levy could end Colerain Football," which ran on Oct. 9, 2019, were incorrect. The median home value in Colerain Township is $121,300 according to census data. An owner of a home of that value is currently paying about $1365 without any tax credits. This homeowner would pay an additional $318 a year for the new levy bringing their total to $1683 annually.

Several interactions with law enforcement Christopher Mushrush pleaded guilty to possessing drug abuse instruments after he overdosed on heroin in May, court documents state. The overdose occurred in a restaurant. Mushrush gave the responding offi cer the syringe at the scene, documents state. Mushrush was sentenced to 180 days in prison for the off ense. According to court records, all but three of those days were suspended. On Oct. 3, Mushrush was arrested again after police said he possessed two syringes. He was released on Oct. 7, according to court records. The documents fi led Thursday included allegations of aggravated arson. Mushrush’s run-ins with the law go

back long before the last couple of months. In 1998, Mushrush was sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison for inducing panic and felonious assault, the record states. In 2000, he was released to community control on conditions of drug monitoring and maintaining full-time employment. In February 2003, a warrant was issued for Mushrush’s arrest after he violated the terms of his probation by testing positive for opiates, according to court documents. Court records state that Mushrush was convicted of four drug-related crimes between the years of 2004 and 2015. In 2016, Mushrush pleaded guilty to charges of receiving stolen property and forgery after selling a stolen 2005 Dodge Caravan to a tow company and attempting to cash fraudulent checks. He was sentenced to 33 months in prison. Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – Oct. 17. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates.

Judge keeps $5M bond for priest accused of rape Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer

Achieving Excellence in Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Since 1967

USA TODAY NETWORK

A Hamilton County judge on Wednesday, Oct. 9 said bond for a priest accused of raping an altar boy 30 years ago will stay at $5 million. Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Leslie Ghiz said her primary concern is that the Rev. Geoff Drew is a fl ight risk. “Your client is charged with anally and orally raping a…child,” Ghiz told Drew’s attorney, Brandon Moermond. She added: “I’m more concerned about him fl eeing, than anything else.” Drew was not in the courtroom for the hearing. He is being held at the Hamilton County jail. In August, Moermond fi led a motion to modify Drew’s bond. Among his arguments was that Drew is a priest, has no criminal history, and has “extensive family in the area, including his ailing mother, his siblings and close family friends.” Moermond also said Drew’s case has been handled diff erently than others because of media coverage. In his motion, Moermond said Ghiz had set Drew’s $5 million bond at a hearing “in front of no less than six television reporters and cameras.” Ghiz rejected that argument. “Please don’t ever accuse this court of doing anything because cameras are involved,” she said. Drew, 57, has pleaded not guilty to nine counts of rape. Ghiz also pointed out that in Moermond’s motion, he mentioned that Drew had been investigated within the last year in both Montgomery and Butler counties. Moermond mentioned those investigations to emphasize that authorities

“found absolutely no criminal activity for which to charge him.” But Ghiz said she hadn’t been aware of allegations in other counties, which she said raised concern. The Hamilton County charges all involve accusations by a former altar boy, who was 10 years old when he said the alleged sexual assaults began in 1988. Drew’s accuser, now in his early 40s, told prosecutors it occurred after school hours in Drew’s oﬃ ce at St. Jude in Bridgetown. At the time, Drew worked for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati as a music minister at St. Jude and as a music teacher at Elder High School. He was not a priest then, but he entered the seminary in 1999 and was ordained a priest in 2004. Enquirer media partner Fox19 contributed to this report.

Man accused of sexually assaulting blind woman Former employee at Green Twp. home for the blind had past legal issues Jeanne Houck

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Westwood man accused of sexually assaulting a woman living in a home for the blind when he was night supervisor has had legal issues before. Joel Jordan, 50, was indicted in Hamilton County on two misdemeanor counts of sexual imposition for conduct at the Samuel W. Bell Home for Sightless in Green Township March 6. That was just three weeks after the expiration of a ﬁ ve-year civil stalking protection order issued by a Hamilton County judge against Jordan to protect Jordan’s former girlfriend. Another Hamilton County judge sentenced Jordan in 2016 to a year in prison for failing to pay child support. Jordan is no longer an employee of the Samuel W. Bell Home for Sightless, said its executive director, David Story. Story, who assumed the top position Sept. 1, declined comment now on how applicants for jobs at the home for the blind are screened. But, “The safety of our residents is of the utmost importance and we take any allegation very seriously,” Story said. An indictment returned against Jordan Oct. 3 includes two counts of sexual imposition because he is accused of having sexual contact with a woman at the home for the blind: ❚ “When he knew that (her) ability to appraise the nature of or control the defendant’s conduct was substantially impaired,” and ❚ “When he knew the sexual contact was oﬀ ensive to (her), or was reckless.” Warrants have been issued for Jordan’s arrest.

The woman's story A Green Township police report says the woman at the home for the blind told oﬃ cers that about 7:30 p.m. March 6, the residential night supervisor unnamed in the report commented on how skinny she was and said he should take measurements of her body. The woman told police she went to the supervisor’s room, where the super-

visor told her to undress. The supervisor calculated her bra size by touching her breasts, the woman said, and she slapped his hand away when he tried to insert a ﬁ nger in her vagina to teach her how to masturbate. The woman said the supervisor then pulled her close and asked her if she had ever touched a penis. She then touched the supervisor’s penis with his pants down but his underwear on because she was curious, the woman said.

Jordan's past Meanwhile, Hamilton County court records show Jordan was indicted in August 2013 on six counts of failure to pay child support for three children. He pleaded guilty to three counts — one for each child – in February 2014, and the other three counts were dismissed. Jordan was released on his own recognizance but failed to appear for sentencing in April 2014, court records state. Two years later he was back in court and given three, 12-month prison terms to be served concurrently. In February 2014, a Westwood woman sought a civil stalking protection order in the Hamilton County courts against Jordan. In June 2014, a judge issued a ﬁ veyear order that expired in February 2019. Jordan was directed to stay at least 500 feet away from the woman, to stay away from her home and place of employment and not to contact her – including by phone and social networking media. That was after a magistrate reporting to the judge conducted a hearing Jordan did not attend and summarized Jordan’s actions this way: “After a 10-year relationship ended in December of 2013, (Jordan) tried to get back together with (the woman) but she refused. “Consequently, he began a pattern of harassment in which he would call her phone up to 50 times a day and leave voicemail threatening to hack into her computer and get even with her. “(Jordan) posted lewd and vulgar messages on her Facebook home page. (He) bragged to (her) that he would not stop. This has caused (her) mental anguish.”

3 kids wander away from Colerain daycare Children found uninjured near busy Harrison Ave. Brittany Harry Fox19

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Oct. 17. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. An investigation is underway after three kids wandered away from Smart Start Childcare in Colerain Township on Wednesday, Oct. 16. Hamilton County Jobs and Family Services offi cials say the children were not hurt and were back home with their parents, but a woman says around 11 a.m. she was leaving the pediatrician's offi ce when she noticed three little kids standing at the side of the road. Amanda Lawhorn says two little boys and one little girl were just inches away from busy Harrison Avenue. She says she knew she needed to assist the 911 caller in making sure the kids

Hamilton County Jobs and Family Services officials conﬁ rm the three kids got out of a gated play area. STOCK ART/GETTY IMAGES

didn't get hurt. "I came up and grab their wrists right away and the lady was on the phone with 911 and had asked ‘what are you doing’ and the oldest said ‘I am crossing the road,’ ” Lawhorn said. She says she then made sure the kids got away from the road by taking them back to the driveway. Lawhorn says that's when daycare workers came running down the hill.

"Up until that point no one was out looking for these kids at all,” she said. “I said ‘why are they out here’ and that's when she held up a harness clip and said ‘well they got this oﬀ the gate and got out.' ” Lawhorn says daycare workers told her there were a lot of kids in the play area at the time. Hamilton County Jobs and Family Services oﬃ cials said Colerain Police

alerted them to the situation and they are now investigating. They confi rm the kids got out of a gated play area. "If the lady in the car hadn’t stopped and drawn my attention either, this would have been a very diff erent story. As a mom and an ER nurse, I know how these things can go and I think you would’ve had me down here in the roadway using my skills to try and save a child that probably couldn’t have been saved or multiple children,” Lawhorn said. The daycare has not responded to a request for comment. Hamilton County Jobs and Family Services offi cials say this is a case that will likely make its way to the state level with Ohio Family Jobs and Services taking over the investigation. A parent said the daycare notifi ed all parents about what happened and they also said they are buying new locks and a bell to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Enquirer media partner Fox19 provided this report.

Enquirer to host public forum on Prosperity Disparity Enquirer editorial board

The Enquirer will host a public forum about its yearlong series “The Long, Hard Road“ on Wednesday at the Schiﬀ Conference Center at Xavier University, 1624 Herald Ave. in Evanston. “The Long, Hard Road” is the centerpiece of a project called Prosperity Disparity, a yearlong eﬀ ort undertaken by The Enquirer this year to help our community better understand the impact of poverty in our region. Our journalists have been out on the road – an 80-mile stretch that connects

our region on both sides of the Ohio River – to put a human face on the statistics. At this second Prosperity Disparity public forum, which will take place from 6:30-8:30 p.m., The Enquirer is partnering with Xavier University to discuss new and innovative ways to help individuals break the grip of poverty in our community. Attendees will hear from a distinguished panel representing local nonproﬁ t organizations and businesses that are tackling poverty in the key areas of transportation, aﬀ ordable housing, access to capital, neighborhood develop-

ment and job readiness, among others. Erin Rolfes, corporate aﬀ airs manager for the Cincinnati/Dayton Division of the Kroger Co., will also talk about the company’s “Zero Hunger, Zero Waste” initiative, which seeks to end hunger in our communities and eliminate waste across the company by 2025. “There are numerous unique and targeted initiatives taking place in our community, some under the radar of the public eye. This forum gives us a chance to talk about some of them,” said Enquirer Executive Editor Beryl Love. “Helping individuals break free from

poverty is not going to be done by one person or one organization. It will take a community eﬀ ort. We hope that people who attend will leave educated and inspired.” Enquirer Opinion Editor Kevin S. Aldridge will moderate the panel discussion with the participants from 7-8 p.m. Doors open at 6:15 p.m., and there will be free refreshments and an opportunity for guests to interact with the panelists 30 minutes before and after the forum. The event is free to the public, but guests must register online. For tickets, go to http://tickets.cincinnati.com

Weather is perfect for spicy sausage chili Spicy sausage chili Spicy sausage chili.

I used Ethan Becker’s (“Joy of Cooking”) Ohio farmhouse chili as an inspiration. I added more seasonings, chili powder and beans to give it a spicy kick.

RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Chili is one of those foods that can be played around with. I wouldn’t object to adding some diced bell pepper in with the sausage and veggies. So feel free to do your own thing when making this recipe. Ingredients 1 pound pork sausage (I used hot) 1 onion, diced 1 long celery stalk, diced 1 nice clove garlic, minced 1 can, 28 oz. diced tomatoes 3 tablespoons tomato paste or more to taste 1 package chili powder blend or to taste (I used Buena Vida, about 3 tablespoons) 2 teaspoons cumin ⁄ 2 to 1 teaspoon sage

1 can chicken broth

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Sometimes having to use meat by the “use by” date inspires me to try something new. That’s how this farmhouse sausage chili recipe came about. I had a pound of pork sausage that had to be used and the outdoor temperature dipped to the low 40’s. Perfect timing. Maybe you’d like to try this sausage chili for that Halloween party. Rewarm in the slow cooker.

Readers want to know: How to re-season a cast iron pan “My cast iron skillet has a grayish color and a little. Food is sticking, too. Can I re-season it?” I told the reader how blessed he was to have a family

heirloom like that. American made, to boot! That happened to one of mine, so I went to the Lodge cast iron site for up-to-date information. Wash with hot, soapy water and scrub vigorously with a brush to get it really clean. (Yes, it’s OK to use a little soap since you’re going to re-season it anyway). Rinse and dry well. I put mine on the burner on low for just a minute. This dries and allows the pan to absorb the oil. Spread a very thin, even coating of either melted solid vegetable shortening or cooking oil to the pan both inside and out. Not too much or you’ll get a sticky ﬁ nish. Put aluminum foil on the bottom rack, not the bottom of the oven, to catch drips. Preheat oven to 350. Put pan upside down on top rack of oven to prevent pooling. Bake about 1-1/2 hours. Turn oven oﬀ , leave pan in to cool completely. That should re-season it nicely.

1 can pinto beans, drained but not rinsed Salt and black pepper to taste Garnish Sliced green onions, sharp cheddar or pepper jack cheese, jalapeno slices Instructions Put sausage, onion, celery and garlic in pot. Cook until sausage is browned and onion and celery are pretty soft. Stir in everything but beans, salt and pepper. Cook 20 minutes at a gentle boil. Add beans and smash a few with potato masher if you like. Cook another 30 minutes or so. Adjust seasonings.

Passing Issue 13 ‘will allow us to build two new schools’ in Finneytown school district Tim Cottrill, Finneytown resident

On Nov. 5, there will be a bond issue on the ballot – Issue 13 – in support of the Finneytown school district. Passing the bond will allow us to build two new schools in the district, with the state covering 60% of the base building cost. This is, quite simply, an unprecedented opportunity to better our community, most importantly for our children, but equally so for everyone who calls Finneytown home. In conversations, I’ve been asked why we should vote for a tax increase for a school that has poor state grade. My assertion: that is exactly why we should pass this issue. There can be no debate that children learn better in a safe, clean, climatecontrolled environment. A family member attends Finneytown’s Whitaker Elementary School. At the beginning of this school year, the school closed on multiple consecutive days and experienced multiple early dismissals due to heat and a lack of air conditioning in most rooms. During the recent warm days when school was in session, he came home irritable with a headache, and was listless the remainder of the evening.

This is not anecdotal information. I have seen it and I suspect many in our community have as well. With soaring temperatures more prevalent in the fall, this is an issue that will continue and increase. I can only conclude that those asserting they toughed it out when they were kids do not care about the health and safety of our children.

This is, quite simply, an unprecedented opportunity to better our community. Finneytown is a desirable area for young families seeking a good community in which to raise children. We have aff ordable housing, good services (police and fi re), quality schools and a wonderful community that is diverse and accepting. The recent school closings, while I strongly believe are right and proper, will have a detrimental impact on the quality of life in our community. Families seeking their fi rst home will no doubt hear of the issue regarding hot

classrooms. This will impact their decision to buy in our community, because these things have a way of getting around. Real estate is classic supply and demand. If demand for homes in Finneytown decreases because of our deﬁ cient school buildings, demand will decrease, supply will increase as families look to move out, and prices will fall. During the last 6 to 8 years we have regained nearly all of the home values that were lost as a result of the foreclosure crisis. It would be a shame to lose those values over time because the community is not able to rally behind our most precious commodity, our children. Conversely, new schools make our community more desirable, increasing not only demand, but also our property values. It is rare to speak to a person that has a desire to be taxed more. But it is diﬃ cult for me to fathom that any voter would risk the health of our children, the viability of our community or housing values for what will amount to 200 to 400 dollars a year, especially considering the nearing expiration of another bond, which will result in a tax reduction in 2024.

education over sports Larry Mussig, Colerain Township

I am writing about the upcoming Northwest School levy and the article “Is this the end of Colerain football?” which appeared in the Northwest Press on Oct. 9. I would think that our school board would give the voters positive reasons to vote for the upcoming levy. Instead, it details threats about losing football. It lists six areas that cuts would be made starting with “20 administrative positions,” teachers, nurses, librarians, assistants, school resource offi cers, sports and music at the middle and high schools and “Art, PE, Music, gifted classes and advanced placement class could also be eliminated.” It mentions that it is an new levy, costing the owner of a $100,000 home an additional $262.56 a year or about $22 a month plus the existing operating levy. “District offi cials have said a levy failure would be catastrophic because the district would face an $8.5 defi cit.” Note: I have been told by offi cials that the new levy would not do nothing to improve the fi nancial shortfall, only run business as normal. Their backup plan is to run a different levy in March 2020, “ask for an even bigger levy.” Any cuts will not happen until August 2020. They have a large paragraph at the end of the article describing The Colerain High School football merits going back to 1994, of which I am proud. There are no merits about the educational base improvements that all schools should have fi rst on their list of achievements. Without a long-term fi nancial plan, true education goals and mainly concerned about our football team, do we really want to approve any new levies? Do we need new school board members, and administrators that want to improve the real educational purpose, that of graduating talent students? If we choose education over sports, then I recommend not passing this November levy and removing the School Board Members. If we don’t act now we will get the same representation we have had for the last decade.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Issue 13: ‘Go to the polls and make the selﬁ sh choice’ On Tuesday, Nov. 5, Finneytown’s voters have a chance to do something incredibly selﬁ sh, and I hope they do. Because on that day, they’ll have an opportunity to vote on a bond issue (Issue 13) in support of the Finneytown Local School District. Passing the bond issue will allow the school district to build two new buildings, with 60% of the funding for the base building costs covered by the state of Ohio. I’m a parent in Finneytown. I support

the bond issue because I want my kids to learn in safer, more modern buildings with air conditioning, buildings that don’t ﬂ ood and schools that are wired to allow more than a handful of electronic devices to be used simultaneously. I suspect most Finneytown parents would agree with me. But this message is for those who don’t have kids and may be on the fence about whether a tax increase is something they can support. Don’t think of the

children; think purely of yourselves. My argument boils down to pure, selfish capitalism. Better school facilities, better technology and a more comfortable and safe learning environment means more eﬀ ective learning and better test scores. The end result? A school district that’s more appealing to home buyers…Home buyers who will then be willing to pay more for the property you and I currently own. And the state is oﬀ ering to pay for 60 percent of the base cost.

When an item you want is 60 percent off , how often do you turn down that deal? So on Tuesday, Nov. 5, be like Gordon Gekko from the 1987 fi lm Wall Street – be greedy. Take advantage of the state’s offer. Go to the polls and make the selfi sh choice: Vote yes on the Finneytown bond issue. We may never get this chance again.

Sports Youth soccer player says he was told to ‘go back’ to his country in game Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

“Estoy libre!” “Pasala!” Voices from the soccer pitch carry to the bleachers, where families and friends watch the Western Hills High School soccer team in a game last month against Reading. Most of the players were born abroad, hailing from Honduras, Guatemala, Cuba, Senegal and Eritrea, to name a few of their birth countries. None of the players is white. The game against Reading was played cleanly. Angel Paz, one of the players, is celebrating not just West High’s big lead but also his 16th birthday. Angel’s cousin and former teammate, Abner Rodriguez, unfolds a large poster board with colorful letters, wishing Angel a happy birthday from the stands of the West Price Hill stadium near the school. The fans at the West High home game urged on the action with civility – a stark contrast from the fi rst game of the year at Three Rivers, when fans for an opposing team used slurs such as “wetback” and “sp--” and told at least one to “go back” to his country, according to people who were there. No racial vitriol tainted the next game, a few days after the one against Reading, when West High visited West Clermont in Union Township. But Aug. 21 was diff erent, a player and fan said. It was the fi rst week of school, and the West High team traveled to Three Rivers’ Taylor High School in Cleves. Angel said his team was behind in the second half, but Taylor didn’t seem sat-

isﬁ ed with just a lead. One Taylor player ridiculed Angel’s teammate, calling him a “f---ing beaner,” Angel said a few weeks after the game. Angel also recalled how Taylor fans yelled “go back to your country” and told him to learn English. “I tried to block it out that night,” An-

gel said. “I never thought I’d hear that in a game.” Angel’s uncle said he heard the “go back” line, too. Roger Paz observed apparent Taylor students in the stands, lobbing racial slurs at his nephew. “This is not right,” said the 42-yearold Paz. “The parents and teachers need to take care of this.”

Lauren Worley, a Cincinnati Public Schools spokeswoman, said school oﬃ cials learned about the incident in September. A coach’s report charged that racial slurs were lobbed at a West player. “The principals and athletic directors from the two schools have spoken about See RACISM, Page 2B

Coaches on a 25-0 soccer victory: ‘Absolute disgrace’ Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Seventh-seed Youngstown Boardman advanced in their Ohio Division I sectional soccer semifi nal over 10th seed Canton McKinley Wednesday night. McKinley had just one shot on goal, so obviously it was a mismatch. On the other hand, Boardman scored 25 times in what appears to be a statement against getting a worse-than-expected seed in the tournament. While there is no offi cial mercy rule in OHSAA soccer, many Greater Cincinnati coaches took umbrage with the result. Cincinnati Hills League championship coach Adam Jones of Wyoming, a frequent Twitter contributor, was outraged, calling it an absolute disgrace to the game. Boardman had 13 players score, including one with six goals as stats were padded for a night. Their coach directed his ire toward Canton schools through McKinley. “Unfortunately, if I have to be honest with you, this is what happens when you have a fl awed and unethical voting system for seeding,” Boardman coach Eric Simione told Eric Fortune of the Youngstown Vindicator. “We should be the three seed in this tournament. When all the Canton schools are going to get together and vote against a Youngstown school just so we have to be on the road. “This game should have never even

existed. We should have had a bye tonight. I don’t know what to say about that. If the Northeast district board thinks their system is ethical, they need to re-evaluate their system.” As overwhelming as the 25 goals seem, it’s not even an OHSAA record. Back in 1999, Wheelersburg once scored 28 against West Union. The individual record for a game is 11. The Wyoming Cowboys of Adam Jones topped out at nine this season against Reading, Deer

Park and Badin in their 15-0-1 regular season run. Likewise, Greater Catholic LeagueSouth champion Moeller coached by Mike Welker topped out at nine in their opening playoﬀ win against Harrison. “Situations like this don’t arise if OHSAA implements a mercy rule in Ohio or limits the amount of teams in the playoﬀ s,” Jones said. “However, until something is done at the state level it’s our responsibility as coaches to handle win-

ning and losing in a graceful and respectful manner.” Scott Sievering of Summit Country Day has won four of the school’s seven state titles. Their opening Division II tournament win was halted at nine goals. “I will never understand scores like this,” Sievering said. “I don’t know the coach and I don’t want to pass judgment, but I do know that respect, integrity and sportsmanship should never allow such a score line. This isn’t rocket science. It is coaching soccer and dealing with young men. Winning is great, but not when it’s at the expense of what all of this is really about.” Mike Dunlap of Loveland has won back-to-back championships in the Eastern Cincinnati Conference. The Tigers had just two lopsided games of eight and nine goals, but never attempted double ﬁ gures. “I would really like to talk with someone who was witness to that match to get a feel for the vibe surrounding the stadium,” Dunlap said. Walnut Hills was a two-time ECC champion under Eric Rothwell. “It doesn’t make sense and shows a lack of understanding and class,” former Eagles coach Rothwell said. “There are things you can do like take players oﬀ , play with only seven vs. 11. Then, instruct players not to shoot. High school sports are a great way to teach humility and this was an opportunity missed.”

Deaconess Foundation golf outing raises $71,000 Seventy golfers helped raise $71,000 this year at Deaconess Foundation’s 29th annual golf outing held at the Maketewah Country Club. The event set a new fundraising record, said Diane Decker, Deaconess Foundation development director. Funds will support the Deaconess Health Check Mobile Van which provides primary care services to the underserved at locations throughout Greater Cincinnati.

the incident,” Worley added. “CPS values and honors the diversity of our students and families, and we regret that one of our players was subjected to racial and unsportsmanlike conduct.” Alex Kuhns, the West team’s coach, wrote in an email to a school offi cial that Paz approached him after the game, saying he’d heard “Taylor ... fans calling our players ‘wetback’ and ‘monkey.’ “ Angel also told his coach after the game he’d heard racist language, Kuhns wrote. The email was obtained by The Enquirer through a record request. Craig Hockenberry, the superintendent of the Three Rivers Local School District, wrote on Sept. 20 that school offi cials were taking the complaint seriously and actively investigating, according to the email obtained by The Enquirer through a record request. In a statement, the district added that offi cials were “not able to fi nd anyone who was able to confi rm or (witness) a player or fan using racial slurs.” Mike Moroski, a Cincinnati Board of Education member, said CPS’ code of conduct for sporting events is centered on inclusivity. “I wish those same codes of conduct existed in other places, and if they do exist, that they were enforced,” Moroski said. Some schools that play against CPS “don’t always take kindly to minority students,” he added. The “go back” phrase uttered during the Taylor game echoed President Don-

ald Trump, who told four minority congresswomen to “go back” to the “places from which they came” earlier this year. Three of the women were born in the U.S. All are citizens. Phil O’Neal, the West High athletic director, said he can empathize with his soccer players. The 2006 Walnut Hills graduate was a student-athlete himself and remembers one particular student section at a suburban school that called him by the N-word.

“So unfortunately, Cincinnati ... certain places you go can have some bigotry going on,” O’Neal said. Less than two years ago, students from the Kings Local School District wore jerseys with racist words denigrating blacks on them. They played several games in the recreational Cincinnati Premier Youth League, including against a West Clermont team. A West Clermont parent criticized the jerseys in a social media post, and the Kings team was

kicked out of the league. Use of the N-word has reportedly been common in the past at football practices at Lebanon schools, according to previously obtained records regarding a federal investigation into claims of racial discrimination at the district. And about two years ago, a Mason Schools teacher told a black student he would be lynched if he didn’t get back on task. The district later confi rmed the incident occurred. Kuhns is in his third season as the boys’ soccer coach at West High. Though he didn’t hear the specifi c slurs others heard during the Taylor game, he could sense the hostility. Chants of “you suck!” rained down on his players throughout the game, despite his protestations to the referee and Taylor coaches. His team has often faced hostility fueled by prejudice, Kuhns said, particularly when playing suburban or rural opponents. “I’ve seen enough games (to discern) when it’s athletic chippiness and when it’s intrinsic hatred,” said Kuhns, a former Cincinnati school board member. Kuhns estimates that either subtle or overt racial animosity is directed at his players in about a quarter of away games every year. Sometimes they return to the bus on the verge of crying because of how they’ve been treated, he added, but the eff ect can endure long after the journey home. “Imagine Angel goes into a job interview in a year or two and discovers the person he’s interviewing with is a Taylor High School graduate,” Kuhns said. “These types of issues can last for years.”

The Cincinnati Health Department is warning residents to use caution around the Ohio River because a "harmful algal bloom" is occurring in the vicinity. Blooms of blue-green algae, known as Cyanobacteria, are happening upstream and downstream of Cincinnati as well. Offi cials in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky said that the city's drinking water is safe, but residents should use caution when swimming or doing other activities on the river. The algae can cause skin and eye irritation, stomach cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, fever, muscle weakness or diffi culty breathing. The algae is not always visible. If anyone believes they may have come in contact with it, the health department recommends bathing immediately. If symptoms arise, seek medical attention. Avoid water that: ❚ Looks like spilled paint ❚ Has surface scums, mats or fi lms ❚ Is discolored or has colored streaks ❚ Has green globs fl oating below the surface The bloom is being monitored by multiple state and local agencies.

Erik Agard, 26, is a professional crossword constructor and editor, now working for Andrews McMeel Universal syndicate in Kansas City, Mo. His last Sunday puzzle was ‘‘Stoner’s Film Festival’’ in June. He says the idea for this one came from rewatching ‘‘Black Panther’’ recently (referenced at 87-Across). This is Erik’s 17th crossword for The Times this year, and altogether his sixth one with a movie theme. — W.S.
