Northwest voters save teachers, music and high school football Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Voters in the Northwest Local School District saved sports and music extracurriculars at the district’s high schools and middle schools by approving a 7.5-mill levy. School offi cials had said those off erings — including football at Colerain and Northwest high schools – were among some $9.1 million in cuts that would have to be made in August 2020 if the November levy failed and voters didn’t support an even larger levy that would then be pursued next March. Last Tuesday's levy win was close, with 9,979 (nearly 52 percent) of the voters supporting the levy and 9,361 (just over 48 percent) rejecting it, according to unoffi cial results of the Hamilton County Board of Elections. Also on the chopping block had the levy failed were some teaching jobs, which would have resulted in larger class sizes. In addition, Northwest was considering cutting transportation costs by only busing students in grades K to 8 who live more than two miles from school, which is the state minimum. Per the levy passed last Tuesday, homeowner will pay an additional $263 a year for every $100,000 of their house’s market value.

Yvette Simpson wanted to be mayor

Instead she’s a political star

Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Yvette Simpson wore a red dress and she danced. To look at her the night of Nov. 7, 2017, you’d never have guessed she’d just lost the Cincinnati mayor’s race to incumbent Mayor John Cranley. She was hugging volunteers, tossing “thank yous” to everyone who had helped her. And she was the last to leave, well past midnight. But she woke up the next morning thinking, “Now what?” As she lay in bed, in her West End home, the Cincinnati City Councilwoman didn’t know that nearly two years later, she’d be the woman in charge of one of the nation’s leading national progressive groups, Democracy for America. Or that she would be tapped to be an ABC news commentator. Or that in the middle of all that she would marry her longtime love, Joe Hoﬀ ecker, on a beach in Mexico. But here she is, jetting oﬀ to presidential battleground states, arm-inarm with “the squad” – a group of young, female congresswomen who are frequent targets of President Donald Trump’s tweets.

The package will generate $27.87 million over 37 years from a 7.19-mill bond issue to fully fund a new K-6 school and partially fund a new 7-12 school. It also will raise $97,275 annually for

23 years from a .5-mill tax levy to maintain the new schools. Together, the money will constitute Finneytown’s contribution to the buildings project, Superintendent Terri Noe said. Noe said the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission has pledged to give Finneytown nearly $28 million for the project within the next two to three years.

The revenue package approved by voters will cost Finneytown homeowners another $269 annually in property taxes per $100,000 of the market value of their houses. That cost will drop to about $95 a year in 2024, when 5.5 mills-worth of previously approved bond issues are retired, Noe said.

Finneytown school levy campaign knew election results by 9 p.m. Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Harold Morel & Lois Morel

Anniversaries: Harold Morel & Lois Morel Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

65th Anniversary On October 30, 2019, Lois and Harold Morel celebrated their 65 year Anniversary in the Colonial Heights Garden. They were married at the Cincinnati Hyde Park residence by the Honorable Judge Chase M. Davies. The couple are lifelong residents of the Cincinnati area. Formerly of Montgomery and currently residing in the city of Springdale. Lois attended Oaks District, employed by General Electric and retired as a family homemaker. Harold attended Oaks District, Ohio Mechanical Institute and UC. Employed as an Industrial Designer and retired in 1983. The Morels have three children, Kimberly Larson (Donald) of Franklin, Mark Morel (Diana) of Goshen, Gail Dauber (Eric) of Lebanon. They also have several grandchildren.

Members of the Finneytown bond campaign had counted the results and packed up by 9 p.m. on election night. An hour later, celebratory signs stating "Thank you for building Finneytown's Future" were already being posted outside of the local schools. Two new schools will be built in the district, thanks to voter approval of the bond issue and tax levy. It was not until after 10:30 p.m. that the unoﬃ cial votes were counted and announced by the Hamilton County Board of Elections. By that time, the win was old news to Citizens of Finneytown Schools chair Angela Hursh and her volunteers.

'Our minds were blown' Hursh said the campaign used SHP, the pre-bond architectural ﬁ rm for the district, as a consultant this election season. SHP shared a technique with Hursh and campaign volunteers that would

Hursh and her husband were able to put up posters celebrating their win at 10:30 p.m. on election night, while other districts waited until 2 a.m. for results.

get them results long before the Hamilton County Board of Elections could count. Election workers at each precinct are required to post a copy of the voter results outside of the door before they leave on election night. There are also posts made at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. election day to keep the public updated on the results in real-time. Instead of waiting until the early hours of the morning for the Board to post results, 10 of Finneytown's Future campaign members went to the doors outside of each precinct when voting ended at 7:30 p.m. and took photos of the total votes posted outside. "It looks like a big, long receipt you get at Kroger," Hursh said. Those pictures then got sent back to the other volunteers tallying the results at a local Buﬀ alo Wings and Rings. When SHP consultants gave this tip to Hursh, who used to be a producer at WKRC Local 12, she was shocked. "I had no idea," she said. "Our minds were blown when they told us." Those posted votes do not account for provisional voters, Hursh said. But the results were pretty close to what Hamilton County came up with, varying only by one percent.

Small but mighty Hursh is not convinced this technique can be used universally.

Finneytown is smaller than other districts in the Cincinnati region. It has a total of 10 precincts and stretches over just four and a half square miles. Hursh said she only had about 20 volunteers helping on election day. As for other, bigger districts, that number would not suﬃ ce. "It would be very labor-intensive," she said. But for Finneytown, and other small districts who want a leg-up on future election days, the count-it-yourself plan does not seem like such a bad idea. "It's worth the eﬀ ort to add the results up yourself," Hursh said.

Simpson

When Jim Dean stepped down, Simpson was tapped in November 2018 to succeed him. Shortly after the 2018 election, Simpson introduced herself at a staff retreat, telling people about her vision. Dean said her words have stayed with him. “‘One mission, one team,’” Dean recalls Simpson saying. She told the staff they could pick their own titles. “It was a very eff ective way of communicating that we were going to be about the values of merit, performance, and the greater cause of DFA,” Dean said. “ Anyone who has operated in-andaround institutional cultures in politics knows how important this is.”

ed up with the perfect job for her. “This is why she wasn’t elected mayor,” he said. “It’s a bigger position, a bigger platform. She is going to aﬀ ect the outcomes of congressional districts that control the fate of issues like health care and gun violence and foreign policy.”

‘God .... opened a door’ To do all this, Simpson didn’t move to Washington D.C. or New York or Burlington, Vermont, where Democracy for America is based. She’s right here in Cincinnati, using Fueled Collective in Norwood – part social club, part coworking space – as her home base. “We tried to start a movement in Cincinnati,” she said. “After the election, it was tough. I was thinking I disappointed so many people. I promised I would make a change. God closed a window, but he opened a door. It’s beyond anything I could ever have imagined.” The Enquirer joined Simpson at Fueled Collective one afternoon for a wide-ranging conversation about her life post-Cincinnati politics. It’s late in the day. Simpson is sipping from a glass of rose and is casually dressed in jeans and a T-shirt featuring Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Supreme Court justice who is a heroine of the progressive movement Simpson helps lead. Other Fueled Collective members interrupt for hugs and words of congratulations on the ABC commentator gig, which had just been announced. Her detractors, back when she was a city councilwoman, would say Simpson was all talk, no action. She shined a spotlight on issues, but none resulted in lasting change. Supporters saw her as an advocate for under-served communities. She was a champion for children and teens, making sure there were summer jobs and open recreation centers for play and learning. Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley, who beat Simpson on that election night two years ago, says he’s thrilled for Simpson. “I think it is great that she has found a role that utilizes her passion for politics,” Cranley said.

Sharing beds and moving often Simpson grew up in Lincoln Heights, one of the poorest communities in Ohio. Her mother was mentally ill. Her father was addicted to cocaine and absent. Raising Simpson, her older sister and

two cousins fell to Simpson’s grandmother. Relatives would come and go, cramming into beds together in what Simpson described as “nose to toes.” When she was in high school, Simpson’s grandmother suﬀ ered a stroke and could no longer care for her. “I came home one day and found out we were moving,” she said. “My stuﬀ was already packed up.” She spent ages 16 to 18 moving from house to house, an unsettled life that both helped steel her desire to succeed and to help others in similar straits. She graduated from Princeton High School, earning a full-ride scholarship to Ohio’s Miami University. Simpson had mentors and school counselors who urged her to follow her dreams to be a lawyer, which she did. But she wanted to give back to her community. And politics seemed like the best was to do it, she said. She worked as a legal observer on the Obama for America campaign’s election protection team in 2008. And then in 2009 she volunteered on former Cincinnati Mayor Roxanne Qualls’ council campaign, which is where she met Cincinnati City Councilman Chris Seelbach. They cemented their friendship when they both won city council seats in 2011; they remain good friends.

‘The city lost’ when Simpson lost Simpson rose to prominence on the nine-member Cincinnati City Council, where she served six years. She was part of council’s progressive coalition, known locally chieﬂ y for its support of Cincinnati’s streetcar. In 2017, she could have run again and

easily secured that seat for another four years. And from there, the leap to mayor would have been easier, presumably, as Cranley is term-limited out in 2021. But she ran anyway, encouraged by progressive members of Cincinnati’s Democratic Party who saw Cranley as too conservative. Simpson actually won the primary, but when she took a stance against the city’s children’s hospital expansion Cranley seized the moment to call Simpson anti-development. She said she was trying to make sure the neighborhood didn’t suff er. It was the defi ning moment in the election, one Simpson couldn’t overcome. Seelbach was sure his friend would win the mayor’s race all the way up to the moment she didn’t. It dulled his own reelection win. “I told her, ‘I won, but we lost. The city lost,’” Seelbach said. In the days after that election night party, she did some legal work, but she wanted the kind of job where she could make a big diff erence. Those jobs though – she’s mum on exactly what jobs she sought – kept going to others. So she did what a lot of ex-politicians looking for the next thing do. She opened a consulting business. Her fi rst client was Democracy for America. She worked as a fi eld coordinator, working on the ground with candidates. On the heels of his presidential run, former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean in 2004 morphed his campaign into Democracy for America. Today it boasts 1 million members. Howard Dean’s brother Jim Dean had run Democracy for America since 2005, growing the organization and cementing it as a coveted endorsement. It got a national boost in 2016 mobilizing voters behind Bernie Sanders’ failed presidential run. The group has donated more than $63 million to political campaigns, helping more than 600 progressive candidates get elected. “There is a whole progressive movement changing our country,” Simpson said. “I’m at the table. I am setting the chessboard for the country in a way I never thought possible.”

‘You wanted the city and God gave you the nation’ Then ABC News came calling, signing Simpson on to be a political commentator. Her fi rst appearance was as a part of This Week’s political round table on June 30. When she sat down, Stephanopoulos told her, “I am glad you are here.” And they were off and running, talking about heath care. She’s been on once a month since. While still a consultant with Democracy for America, Simpson worked with some of the emerging stars of the Democratic Party, among them: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, of New York, who at 29 was the youngest woman ever elected to Congress; Ilhan Omar, of Minnesota, the fi rst Somali-American elected to Congress; Ayanna Pressley, of Massachusetts, the fi rst black woman elected to represent the state; and Rashida Tlaib, of Michigan, one of the fi rst Muslim women ever elected to Congress. “Yvette believes in the work she’s doing,” Tlaib told the Enquirer in an email. “Not only did she come to the district to help during the fi nal days of my primary election, she came to me to create a video to send a message of support to Ayanna Pressley during her election. She deeply believes in creating a network of justice seekers. “I don’t know if she knows, but she played a big role in establishing my sisterhood with Ayanna,” Tlaib added. Simpson is responsible for choosing candidates to endorse. When Simpson was a mayoral candidate, Democracy for America endorsed her, which helped donations fl ow in. There is no typical day for Simpson. When she’s at Fueled Collective, she manages a remote national team and spends a lot of time on calls and video conferences with staff , members, partners, candidates and elected leaders. But there are days like this past Monday, Nov. 4. She was in San Francisco helping two endorsed candidates, guiding them through Election Day. On Sundays, when Simpson is in Cincinnati, she attends services at New St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church in the West End. The bishop there, David Thomas, told her last year, “You wanted the city and God gave you the nation.” “It’s funny how I lost the one thing I wanted more than anything and then gained more than I could have ever imagined,” she said.

Everything seemed ﬁ ne but I told the kids ‘hey, if it’s chocolate break it in half. If it’s something like that, check it before you eat it,' ” he said. This is the third report made to Colerain Township police along these lines in the Pleasant Run neighborhood. “You tell your kids ‘don’t accept candy from strangers,’ the one night they’re allowed to accept candy from strangers, something like this hap-

Scott Surgener was not initially investigated for child pornography.

iPhone XR and downloaded its contents. According to a federal complaint unsealed Thursday, the iPhone contained “numerous images that were hidden in a calculator application” of a diﬀ erent girl, a 13-year-old who also is a friend of Surgener’s daughter. The images show the 13-year-old girl engaging in explicit acts, the complaint says, including sex acts with an adult male. The girl has denied having sexual contact with Surgener. One image, created in June, shows the girl standing naked from the waist down

in a bathroom. “Surgener is bent down behind her with a cell phone between her legs,” the complaint says. GPS coordinates for the images show they were taken at Surgener’s Springdale home, according to the complaint. Surgener is charged in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati with production of child pornography and possession of child pornography. The production count is punishable by 15 to 30 years in prison. He is being represented by a federal public defender who does not respond to media requests for comment.

SCHOOL NEWS Princeton High students among top business students in the country Five students at Princeton High School scored among the top business students nationwide on rigorous exams to test their business knowledge. The exams are part of the school’s High School of Business program, a national accelerated business administration program of the MBA Research and Curriculum Center. Approximately 8,000 students from across the nation participated in the program during the 2018-19 school year. Receiving top scores were: Olivia LaVeaux and Abigya Kebede (Principles of Business), Enrique Mendiola (Business Economics), and Darian Braddix and James Lemker (Principles of Marketing). “The business classes at Princeton High School rigorously prepare our students for life success by teaching a strong foundation of best practices relating to marketing, accounting, economics, innovation and supply chain management,” commented Tom Burton, superintendent of Princeton City School District. “The students have worked very hard in an extremely competitive program and I am proud of what they have accomplished.” Students participating in High School of Business complete real, hands-on business projects through a series of six courses. The program also includes observational internships, opportunities to earn college credit, and local oversight via a steering team of college faculty, business professionals, and school personnel. Rebecca McCowan, business teacher at PHS also runs the DECA Club, which prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in ﬁ nance, marketing, hospitality, and management. The DECA Club now oversees the Viking Spirit Shop store where Princeton Viking fans can purchase specialized clothing and items with the school emblems on them.

“My students put what they learn in class into action, as they create merchandise and manage the school store,” said McCowan. “From customer service to marketing a product, the students face experiences that prepare them to be adaptable in their decision-making teamwork.” High School of Business is a program of MBA Research, a non-proﬁ t organization specializing in educational research and the development of business and marketing curriculum for high schools and colleges across the U.S. The accelerated program is designed for collegebound students with interest in business administration careers, such as marketing, ﬁ nance, entrepreneurship, or management.

Participants in the program will have an opportunity to not only build their professional network, but also exchange ideas and methods with community leaders and education professionals. NWLSD places a strong focus on professional development for teachers and administrators, in order to create a better learning experience for students within the classroom. This year, District middle school principals and teachers are making monthly visits to various schools and districts to collaborate and to learn about what other education professionals are doing to improve outcomes for students in mathematics. There is a Districtwide eff ort to encourage staff members to participate in various development activities whether it is through academic degrees, coursework, collaboration with other educators or through third-party leadership programs. “We have a number of exciting initiatives in place in the Northwest Local School District designed to create a

learning culture for administrators and teachers,” said Brenda Miller, NWLSD Director of Instructional Accountability. “We believe that we all need to be lifelong learners and that educators who are learning, growing and trying new things in their classrooms will positively impact students and student achievement. We have a district-wide personalized learning initiative in place for all staﬀ which we refer to as “The Level Up Challenge”. The Alpaugh Scholar’s program is a ﬁ ve part series of sessions that will begin in October and will run through February of 2020. The participants will meet monthly for half a day on UC’s campus in the Economics Center and will cover topics that include: regional economic development, regional history and economy, workforce development challenges and opportunities, social service programs and student enrollment projections. Participants in the program will also have the opportunity to go on a bus tour of Cincinnati given by local historian, Dan Hurley. “We are very proud of our teachers and administrators. Mr. Gale and Mrs. Grayson’s pursuit of this exciting leadership and learning opportunity with the University of Cincinnati will allow them to collaborate with many other professionals and is to be commended. We know that their work will positively impact the lives of our students,” said Miller. Lyndsey Creecy, Northwest Local School District

Easy, no-fail pie crust; pecan pie with or without alcohol Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Take a look at the pecan pie with that pretty collar of whipped cream. I usually dollop whipped cream right in the center of the pie, but my crust broke a bit when I cut it, so I used whipped cream as a culinary “Band-Aid.” No one knew

No-fail easy pie crust This makes 2 crusts. Ingredients 3 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups cold Crisco/vegetable shortening 1 egg, lightly beaten 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon ice cold water 2 teaspoons vinegar - clear or cider Instructions Spoon flour into measuring cup, level off, and pour into very large bowl. Stir in salt. Cut Crisco into smallish pieces.

the diﬀ erence, and I didn’t mention it. And if your pumpkin pie shrinks a little from the crust, that whipped cream collar works there, too. I’m telling you this so you don’t suﬀ er angst if your holiday pie doesn’t come out perfectly. And who doesn’t like more whipped cream?! I’ve had requests for a do-ahead, easy, no-fail pie crust, and pecan pie with alcohol and without. Here are my tried & trues.

With a fork or pastry cutter, work Crisco into flour until it looks like coarse meal with some pieces a bit larger. Don’t get too fussy and overwork dough - that makes it tough. Check my site for photo and tips. Pour egg and vinegar in. Pour water over whole surface, not just one area. Stir everything with fork until ingredients are mixed well. Dough will be a bit wet. Divide into 2 portions and pat into disks. Wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or freeze 15 minutes to chill if using right away. Or refrigerate up to 3 days, or freeze up to 3 months. Thaw before using. Roll out on lightly floured surface, starting in center. If dough sticks sprinkle a little flour on. Roll about an inch larger than pie pan.

Pecan pie with a collar of whipped cream. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

Bourbon/rum or regular pecan pie If you don’t want bourbon or rum, just leave it out. I only had 1⁄ 2 cup of each kind of corn syrup so that’s what I used.

Garnish: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream Instructions

Ingredients

Preheat oven to 350. Whisk eggs, sugars and salt together. Whisk in syrups, butter and vanilla. Whisk in bourbon or rum.

3 large eggs, lightly beaten

Sprinkle pecans in bottom of pie shell.

⁄ 3 cup granulated sugar

Pour ﬁ lling over.

⁄ 4 cup brown sugar, ﬁ rmly packed (I used light brown)

⁄ 4 teaspoon salt

⁄ 2 cup each: light and dark corn syrup or 1 cup either

5 tablespoons butter, melted 13⁄ 4 teaspoons vanilla 1 heaping cup chopped pecans 2-3 tablespoons bourbon or rum

Place on bottom rack (for crisper bottom crust) and bake 45-60 minutes or until pie is almost set. (If crust is browning too fast, make a collar of foil around it.) The middle should still be a bit jiggly. It will continue to set as it chills in refrigerator. Make up to 2 days ahead. Tip: Whip cream ahead – stays whipped at least 4 hours, covered, in refrigerator.

COMMENTARY

Remembering Lt. John R. Fox, World War II hero Bruce Fehn Guest Columnist Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK

As last Veterans Day approached, I found my thoughts often turning to Cincinnati native and Medal of Honor winner John R. Fox. Last fall, my wife and two friends visited the Somocolonia, a tiny village perched high in Italy’s rugged Apennine mountain range. Soon we came upon the medieval tower where, on December 26, 1944, Lt. Fox sacrifi ced his life. On that day at 4 a.m. mortar fi re rained down on village from the mountains above. By 9 a.m. German, Austrian and Italian fascist soldiers swarmed the village. Fighting was house to house and hand to hand. From his observation post in the tower, Lt. Fox watched the snow turn red with the blood of Americans and Italian partisans. (Partisans were anti-fascists who fought for restoration of democracy in Italy). They fought a valiant but losing battle. What happened next earned Lt. Fox the United States’ highest military honor – but, as explained below, not until 52 years later. Born on May 18, 1915, Fox attended Wyoming High School where he excelled as a student and athlete. After graduating in 1934, he enrolled at Ohio State University. Interested in the military. Fox applied to enter the University’s Reserve Offi cers Training Corps (ROTC) Program. OSU’s Program, however, would not take African-Americans. Determined to explore an Army career, he transferred to historically black Wilberforce University and joined its ROTC program. On 13 June 1940 he was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army. In early 1941, the Army sent Lt. Fox to train with the all-Black 366th Infantry regiment at Ft. Devens, Massachusetts. Before leaving Wilberforce, Fox met his future wife Arlene Marrow, a nursing student. They married in January 1942 at Ft. Devens. Their daughter Sandra arrived the following December. Lt. Fox, however, soon had to leave his new family. World War II was in full swing. On March 28, 1943, Lt. Fox headed to war on a segregated ship. After a short stay in North Africa, Fox and fellow soldiers docked in Naples, Italy. They were eager for combat. Regrettably, white American commanders assumed black inferiority and

believed African Americans would not hold up well under fi re. This galled black soldiers. They wanted to demonstrate courage. They wanted to put their bodies on the line for the United States. Rather than experiencing combat, however, Fox and his Regiment were sent to guard air bases in areas already liberated by Allied forces. The Italian campaign saw some of the most ferocious fi ghting of the War. With casualties of white soldiers mounting, Army commanders, in 1944, fi nally committed black troops to the battle lines. From September through November, small units of African Americans toiled up the mountainous terrain toward the well-entrenched enemy. Resistance was intense. Heavy rains turned roads, foot paths and mule trails into muddy quagmires. It was bone chilling cold. Morale began to suff er. Under these bleak circumstances, in mid-December 1944, Lt. Fox marched with 70 other soldiers up a mule trail to Somocolonia. Italian villagers and partisans greeted them. Fox and his men shared their food. On Christmas Day the troops attended church services and sang spirituals. Periodically Fox climbed the watchtower to look for enemy movement.

hesitated to fi re. His superior offi cer ordered him to deliver the payload. The incident haunted Otis Zachary for the rest of his life. The Allies used a ferocious air attack to halt the German off ensive. Aircraft pulverized Somocolonia. By early January, the Allied soldiers had re-taken the

During WWII, it must be remembered, not a single African American received the Medal. After incessant petitioning, the Armed Services decided to investigate whether any African Americans had been unjustly passed over for the nation’s highest military award. In the early morning hours of December 26, Germans, Austrian and Italian fascists launched a surprise off ensive. Somocolonia was their fi rst point of attack. As Fascist forces swarmed the village, commanders ordered the Americans to retreat. By the time the order to evacuate came, however, the remaining soldiers were surrounded. In a desperate eff ort to stall the enemy attack and save his companions, Fox ordered defensive artillery fi re from the valley below. He directed the barrage increasingly close to the watchtower. Finally, he ordered a shell fi red on his precise location. Lt. Otis Zachary, one of Fox’s best friends, fi elded the order but

village. Among the American and partisan dead lay John Fox, as well as the bodies of 100 enemy soldiers. It took over 53 years after the battle for Lt. Fox to receive a Medal of Honor. Why? The answer lies in segregationist policies and racial attitudes endemic to American society at the time. The Army reﬂ ected and reinforced these attitudes and policies. To bestow upon African Americans the highest military honor would help black citizens lay claim to full citizenship rights after the War. To southern segregationist politicians, especially, this was anathema. Lt. Fox’s friends and companions, however, never forgot what happened in

Somocolonia. One of them, Hondon Hargrove was determined to rectify what he viewed as an egregious oversight. He painstakingly documented that Fox had been unjustly denied the Distinguished Service Cross (DCS), the American Army’s second highest award. Through dogged persistence, Hargrove fi nally got the Army to look at his evidence. His persistence paid off . At an Armed Services Day ceremony on April 15, 1982, an offi cer presented Lt. Fox’s DCS to his widow, Arlene. In attendance at the 1982 ceremony, in addition to Arlene Fox, were Hargrove, Otis Zachary and other friends of John Fox. They launched a campaign to have the Army award Lt. Fox the Medal of Honor. During WWII, it must be remembered, not a single African American received the Medal. After incessant petitioning, the Armed Services decided to investigate whether any African Americans had been unjustly passed over for the nation’s highest military award. After an exhaustive review of evidence a commission determined seven black servicemen had in fact earned the Medal of Honor. On January 17, 1997, in an emotional White House ceremony, President Clinton presented Arlene Fox her husband’s Medal. He also bestowed the Award on six other African Americans. Only one, Lt. Vernon Baker, was alive to have the President place the Medal around his neck. As my companions and I wandered around Somocolonia, we saw evidence of the village’s gratitude to Lt. Fox and others who fought against fascism. On a hillock near the village were six stone monuments. Five of them bear the names of Italian partisans. One is dedicated to an American: Lt. John Fox. On December 26 every year, moreover, Italian residents of nearby cities and villages gather in Somocolonia to commemorate those who fought against fascism and for democratic values At the village commemoration in the year 2000, Arlene Fox was the guest of honor. African-American veterans of the battle were also present. Arlene told a journalist covering the event: “This place and what it means have been on my mind for many, many years. We never needed any medals. John just felt that we were as good as anybody else, and he was going to prove it, and he did.” Thank you Lt. John Fox and all those who sacrifi ced in the service of freedom, justice and humanity.

The Lakota East High School girls cross country team had its sights set on a Division I state team championship.

OSU commit Johnson gets All-American jersey Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

SHARONVILLE - Ohio State-bound Paris Johnson Jr. will make a pit stop in San Antonio before making his way to the Buckeyes in January. Johnson, the top-rated recruit in Ohio and No. 1 at his position, according to 247sports.com, received his U.S. Army All-American Bowl jersey Friday, Nov. 1 at Princeton High School. The 6-foot-7, 295-pound off ensive lineman joins Wyoming's Evan Prater (Cincinnati) and Covington Catholic's Michael Mayer (Notre Dame) on the roster. The annual contest will take place Jan. 4, 2020, at the Alamodome in San Antonio with NBC televising at 1 p.m. "In God's timing, things like this can happen," Johnson said. "For me to be able to put in the work and trust the process, I was able to accomplish this goal. I'm excited for the competition. I've always wanted that level of competition." The last off ensive lineman from Greater Cincinnati to play in the U.S. Army AllAmerican Bowl was Fairfi eld's Jackson Carman in 2018 before heading to Clem-

son. Princeton's last Army All-American was Spencer Ware (Louisiana State University) who made it to the NFL. "Anytime you can have one of the best Top 10 kids at your school receive this honor, it's a great thing," Princeton football coach Mike Daniels said. La Salle's Drue Chrisman (Ohio State) was on the 2016 roster along with Jake Hausmann of Moeller (Ohio State). Justin Hilliard of St. Xavier (Ohio State)

made the 2015 cut, Drew Barker of Conner (Kentucky) was on in 2014. Johnson, a ﬁ ve-star recruit, was pursued by most major college football powers. Though he originally dreamed of being a wide receiver, his goals were always set high. "People always say 'low goals,' accomplish them one-by-one," Johnson said. "For me, I wanted to do this. This is one of those goals I had since freshman year.

When I was playing on the freshman team, I was saying I was going to play in this bowl game. Nobody believed me at all. I told them I was going to be a fi vestar." At his jersey ceremony, many of those in attendance waited in line to get their picture taken the latest Princeton Viking standout. "Paris Johnson Jr. is as good as advertised and I'm proud of him," coach Mike Daniels said. "He does work on the fi eld. He's tough and nasty. He does a great job and what we ask him to do. He's a oncein-a-generation type of kid." After the game, Johnson will report to Ohio State, graduating early from Princeton. That was one of the reasons Johnson transferred from St. Xavier after three years as a Bomber. With Johnson, the Vikings have clinched their fi rst OHSAA football postseason berth since 2007. They await the announcement of their fi rst-round game. "This is a huge accomplishment for us," Daniels said. "We're peaking at the right time. We have unfi nished business to go. I'm excited to see what's next for the Princeton Vikings."

today – it’s truly a team." St. Xavier fi nished fourth at last year's state championship, 28 points behind Mason for third place. The Bombers won the Troy Regional over the Comets by 40 points, then held on Saturday, Nov. 2 for the program's sixth career state title and fi rst since 2013. “I think coming back nobody pegged us as the team to beat," Wietmarschen said. "I think other folks thought there were some teams better than us, but these guys believed all throughout the winter, all throughout track season and into the summer. They wanted to win a state championship and they did everything they possible could to win one today. I’m just so proud of them.” The wait was especially agonizing for Nathan Mountain. The junior won a regional championship, then logged an impressive fi fth-place fi nish Saturday, Nov. 2 but accepted his medal without knowing whether or not his club was tops in Ohio. The Bombers celebrated behind Mountain, then welcomed him to the party with a dog-pile jubilee behind the podium once he stepped down. "It was nerve-wracking. I was just thinking about it the whole time," said Mountain, who fi nished 67th at last year's state event. "I’m here for the boys so the team title meant the most. It was the best feeling ever to jump into their arms once I heard we won it all."

Silver Knights rejoice There was no post-race drama for Summit Country Day. The fi nal result was not in question as the Silver Knights took home the program's fi rstever state championship by 14 points. The whole team took turns celebrating with a horde of blue and silver supporters along the chain-link fence adjacent to the fi nish line. It felt like an overdue title as Saturday marked Summit's eight trip to state in the last decade. Finishing as an 18-point runner-up to Fort Loramie last November provided extra incentive.

"There was a lot of motivation, I'm not gonna lie. There was a ton," Summit head coach Kurtis Smith said. "I know Northeast Ohio always comes here and dominates the state meet, so these guys had a chip on their shoulder and they ran with it today. They wanted to come back here and prove they belong." It was quality over quantity that paved Summit's path to being the top Division III team in the state. The Silver Knights had only runner make the podium — junior Evan Lakhia, who fi nished 19th — but high-caliber fi nishes from Andrew Wagner (24th), Matthew Brumfi eld (30th), Brian DeWine (35th) and Devin Nelson (54th), lifted them over runner-up Mount Gilead. "This group, we've been through a lot and this means a lot. For our seniors, especially Brian DeWine, he's like our

heart and soul," Smith said. "Last night we had a team meeting and he said, 'I don't care what happens tomorrow, I just love running with you guys.' That really set the tone. The whole race we moved up as a group and we won it as a team." DeWine shared that sentiment with an heartfelt praising of his teammates following the race. "I love my boys so much," the senior said. "I had an injury early on this season and to come back for regionals and state — it's just so special. I’ve never had a group of people I love as much as these guys. Every single second I spent with them was amazing and today it really came together." Asked if he could hold back tears once his team received the trophy, he replied with a guﬀ aw, "We'll see, I can't

make any promises." He couldn't.

Other locals fi nd the podium Lakhia was the only Greater Cincinnati runner to fi nd the podium in Division II and III. Badin junior Owen Mathews was the top local fi nisher in D-II at 32nd. In Division I, Mason sophomore Aiden Amshoff made the podium after fi nishing 14th. Fellow Comet Johan Meyer, a senior, joined him in 19th to anchor the club's runner-up fi nish. Kings junior Alex Justus (12th) and Lebanon senior Sam Duncan (13th) turned in medal-winning performances as Greater Cincinnati occupied 25 percent of the fi nal podium on the afternoon.

The reason we were second was because they were running for fi rst today.” Beavercreek ran away with the state title by a wide margin with two runners fi nishing in the top 5 — including statechampion Taylor Ewert — and four runners in the top 10. But the Thunderhawks’ collective mindset to go for it all, rather than a safe approach, led them to new heights. “They had all the confi dence in the world, and I’m as happy as I could be with second place,” Thomas said. Kelsi Harris was the Lakota East’s closest chance at an individual getting on the podium. The junior fi nished 25th with an 18:45.7. Not far behind was fellow junior Carly Spletzer (28th), who expressed her admiration of the team for placing so high. “I’m so thrilled,” Spletzer said. “I didn’t get to run last year due to an injury, so to come out with these girls and get runner-up means everything. We’ve been working so hard all year, so for it to pay off is an amazing feeling.”

Kaylor leans for 3rd-place photo fi nish There was no question that Princeton’s Maria Kaylor left everything she had on the grassy terrains of Hebron on Saturday afternoon. The senior fi nished her prep cross country career with a third-place fi nish in the Division I race, thanks to an allout eff ort down the back straightaway. During the fi nal 30 yards, Kaylor emptied the tank to leap past Toledo Notre Dame Academy senior Lauryn Mick with a lean at the fi nish line.

To her surprise, Kaylor heard during the race that she was in fi fth. So by the time she turned the corner for the fi nal stretch of the race, she fi gured she’d go for broke. “I was in fi fth at one point and was thinking there was no way. I fi gured something was wrong or other runners were just having an off day,” Kaylor said. “But then I was like, ‘If I’m in fi fth, who says I can’t be fourth, or be third.’ So I just kept going and felt good and we really got to tapering at the right time. In years prior, I tapered at districts and I peaked and fell off . We really worked well and adjusted my training so I would peak at the right time. “I had all my friends back at home come up here with me to see this. I owe this to them and I always stress out my mom and I owe it to her, too, along with my coaches.” Elsewhere on the podium from a Cincinnati perspective was Mason’s Maddie Ullom, who received a medal for the second consecutive year with a 12th-

place showing. “It’s defi nitely an honor to lead our team, especially with all of the fast people who’ve come before me,” Ullom said. “I defi nitely think I was less nervous this year and a little more confi dent, especially knowing who I’m running with and knowing that I could compete with these girls. I was hoping to place a little higher, but I gave it all I’ve got.” Lebanon junior Faith Duncan fi nished 13th in the Division I race and Ursuline’s Hannah Doerger squeaked in at No. 20. Doerger, a senior, was in position for a top-10 fi nish but fell to the ground multiple times before crawling to the fi nish line to end a podium-worthy performance. Lastly, Indian Hill’s Elizabeth Whaley fi nished 12th in the Division II race. The sophomore was 17th at the halfway point of the race, but turned on the jets in the back portion of the course to earn a medal. “I usually leave a little bit at the end

for a kick and I knew I’ve been working so hard that I just needed to give it everything I had,” Whaley said. “I just want to thank God for this opportunity and everything he’s done for me.” Right behind Lakota East in the team standings was Mason and Loveland, both fi nishing in the top 10. The Comets landed in fourth with 184 points. After Ullom, they were led by senior Faith Min, who fi nished 52nd. Loveland fi nished sixth with 212 points. The Tigers had sophomore Jessie Gibbins narrowly miss out on a medal, fi nishing 30th. Sophomore Sarah Madix came in 41st and junior Ellie Carr fi nished 56th.

COMMUNITY NEWS Critically-acclaimed Impro Theatre comes to Cincinnati Nov 16-17 For two nights only, Impro Theatre will take the stage at Madcap Education Center, and create full-length unscripted plays in the style of some of the world’s best authors. With no pre-planning or prepared scenarios, the performers will combine verbal dexterity and robust physicality to bring character and plot to life in an instant, making each show unique and unlike any other theatrical experience. Founded in 1988 in Los Angeles, California, Impro Theatre has performed sold-out shows throughout southern California as well as venues around the world including the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, The Athenaeum Theatre in Chicago, The Melbourne Fringe in Australia, and Theatre Adyar in Paris. The cast recently ﬁ nished a ten month residency at The Broad Stage in

Impro Theatre’s Unscripted Twilight Zone. PROVIDED

Santa Monica, performing 10 diﬀ erent unscripted productions. Impro Theatre also provides classes, workshops, and a studio performing space with programming year round in Los Feliz Village in Hollywood, California.

Saturday, Nov. 16, at 8 p.m. Impro will perform Tennessee Williams Unscripted. Inspired by Tennessee Williams’ masterful storytelling and delicious language, Impro Theatre starts with a single audience suggestion and builds im-

provised full-length plays that are hilarious, yet tragic as a Southern belle’s broken heart. Watch as passionate smoldering secrets lurch beneath the surface of genteel society – and explode in a climax of accusation, confession and consequence. Sunday, Nov. 17 at 8 p.m. Impro will perform Twilight Zone Unscripted. From the darkest corners of reality to the land of the unexplained, Impro Theatre’s Twilight Zone Unscripted is a completely improvised show in the style of classic 60’s sci-ﬁ television shows. Enter a dimension of pure imagination as the company starts with audience suggestions and creates new and completely improvised episodes at every performance. Performances will feature Impro Theatre cast members Dan O’Connor, Jo McGinley, Stephen Kearin and Kari Coleman. Tickets are on sale now, and See COMMUNITY, Page 8B
