3-year-old needs a safe place to sleep Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Enquirer and United Way of Greater Cincinnati have joined forces for the 33rd year to promote the Wish List giving season, assisting families in need. Today, we share the story of 3-year-old Martavious Stanley.

Who is in need? If you’re looking for some peace and quiet, Martavious Stanley’s house is probably not for you.

The 3-year-old is loud and rambunctious, the ringleader for his two younger brothers and younger sister. “As you can see, he’s like a ball of ﬁ re,” said Winifred Stanley, Martavious’ mom, as Martavious ran around the room on a recent morning. “He is like this all day long.” Winifred and her husband, Damon, are foster parents who took Martavious home from the hospital when he was just 5 days old. He was premature, Winifred said, so he only weighed 3 pounds and a See CHILD, Page 2A

It was somewhere around midnight on Oct. 27 that Jim Delp fi rst heard the alarm going off . It was a security alarm. And he couldn’t turn it off because it wasn’t his. The alarm was at the Lowe’s Home Improvement store on Colerain Avenue, which is near his home on Dry Ridge Road in Colerain Township. It was loud, even with the windows closed. And it stayed loud, ringing until 5 or 6 a.m., he said, when employees came back to the store. And at midnight that next day, it happened again. And the next night. And the next. Delp said he went to the store to speak with a manager, who told him the alarm belonged to the security company Lowe’s contracts with and there was nothing Lowe’s could do to stop it from going off . Delp said the manager would not give him the name of the security company. So every night, Delp and his wife and his neighbors found their sleep disturbed by the alarm. Delp said when it became obvious the management at Lowe’s was not going to fi x the issue, he began calling 911 to report the alarm going off . And the alarm kept going off at midnight. Delp thought a nudge might help Lowe’s address the issue. So on Nov. 16, he donned three pairs of pajamas, slippers and a nightcap and stood out at the corner in front of the store with a sign informing passing motorists of the malfunctioning alarm and the message, “Please help me get some sleep.” On Nov. 17, he donned a business See ALARM , Page 2A

Sharonville Convention Center exhibit hall to be expanded, named after Portune Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Hamilton County Commissioners agreed Thursday, Nov. 21 to move forward with a $17 million expansion of the Sharonville Convention Center and said plans are to name its new exhibition hall after Commissioner Todd Portune. Construction on the fi nal phase of the expansion is expected to begin next year and will double the convention center’s exhibition space to 40,000 square feet. The expansion also will add a ticket offi ce, a kitchen, more restrooms and more storage space. Portune, who is battling cancer, is retiring at the end of the year. He is credited with being a driving force behind the expansion of the Sharonville Convention Center at 11355 Chester Road. The fi rst phase of the expansion was completed in 2012. “Todd has been behind this project from day one, seeing early on the benefi ts of creating a Northern Lights District so that we could bring convention business to other parts of the county outside of Downtown,” Sharonville Mayor Kevin Hardman said. “It’s a fi tting tribute to rename our exhibition hall after Todd. He has been an

unwavering champion of economic development projects like this throughout the county and we appreciate his commitment and dedication to our community.” Said Portune: “I am delighted to have supported this project every step of the way. It’s so timely with my retirement just around the corner, and I’m glad to be a part of making this project a reality for the City of Sharonville and Hamilton County.” Sharonville Convention Center Executive Director Jim Downton said the idea of the expansion began nearly ﬁ ve years ago, as the convention center’s exhibit hall occupancy grew to near capac-

ity. “With this additional space and amenities, our sales team can pursue business we couldn’t go after before, those conventions and events that are too small for the Duke Energy Convention Center but too large for our current exhibit hall,” Downton said. Hamilton County Commissioners voted Thursday, Nov. 21 to participate in a cooperative agreement in which the county and Sharonville will split expansion costs at the Sharonville Convention Center. The county’s portion of the funds will come from the transient occupancy tax, also known as the hotel tax. The Convention Facilities Authority is expected to discuss and vote on the ﬁ nancing agreement on Dec. 6, with Sharonville voting in mid-December. The ﬁ nal phase of the expansion is expected to be completed in 2021. “The Sharonville Convention Center is the county’s gem to the north,” said Hamilton County Commission President Denise Driehaus. “This exciting expansion opens up so many new opportunities for attracting additional business and really drives the economic development activity in the area.”

Whenever he gets a chance, Winifred said, he’ll just take oﬀ . More than once, he’s gotten out of the house. “He’s a runner,” she said.

His wish list? One of the most challenging times in the Stanley household is night. Martavious regularly gets up in the middle of the night, climbs out of bed and wakes the entire family. He also tries to get out of the house, forcing Winifred and her husband, who just had a stroke this past summer, to sleep in the living room to keep watch. “He’s like Houdini, I’m telling you,” Winifred said. With a 1-month-old baby in the house and Martavious attempting escapes whenever possible, no one is getting much sleep, Winifred said. So, the family is asking for a safety sleeper to help keep Martavious in place throughout the night. The sleeper – which costs several thousand dollars – functions like a tent that zips from the outside, preventing wandering and reducing stimuli to help with sleep.

Worth noting Before taking in foster children, the Stanleys raised four biological children who are now grown and out of the house. But Winifred had always longed to be a foster parent. She was raised by an aunt because her mom had substance abuse problems, and she wanted to return the favor. “I’ve always wanted to do it because someone did it for me,” she said. “You do it because you want to see these kids safe. You want to see them nurtured. You want to see them loved.” With four children ranging in age from 1 month to 3 years, the Stanley house is full right now. And, on Aug. 27, Martavious was oﬃ cially adopted. That was one of Winifred’s best days, she said, one she wouldn’t trade for anything. “Now you get my last name. You’re mine forever,” she said. “… He may get into a lot of stuﬀ . He may be a little challenging, but this is my baby. I wouldn’t trade him in for the world.”

The sleeper was recommended for Martavious by Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, but insurance won’t cover it, Winifred said. She and Damon can’t aﬀ ord it on their own, she said, but the sleeper would help keep Martavious and his siblings safe at night. And, it would help everyone in the family get some much-needed rest.

suit and went back out to the corner to let his placard plead his case. Andy Sparks, a passing neighbor stopped, snapped a photo and posted Delp and his plight on Facebook. It was shared more than 100 times. Delp also went to Colerain Township police and zoning offi cials to see if he could get help. Police Chief Mark Denney said offi cers went to Lowe’s as soon as the department was made aware of the issue. “We sent an offi cer there and spoke to the manager who said they would fi x it,” Denney said. And eventually, Lowe’s did. Midnight came on Nov. 17 accompanied by silence. Delp said he had the best sleep he’s had in weeks. Lowe’s was contacted by The Enquirer and a representative said they were sorry the incident occurred and someone would look into the issue and get back to a reporter. Colerain Township is working on a policy and procedure to fi ne businesses for false alarms, but the program is not operational yet. “I would encourage residents to call us” in a situation such as this, Denney said. “We are happy to work for them.

How to help

Martavious has disruptive behavior disorder and global developmental delay, which come with a whole host of challenges. He can say a few words, but for the most part, he’s nonverbal. And he’s known to bite, scratch and pinch, Winifred said. “He does all that stuﬀ , and it does not matter to who,” she said. Martavious has been in therapy and treatment his whole life, but there are impulses he just can’t control, Winifred said. Once, he cut the tips oﬀ all the shoelaces in the house, she said. Another time, he locked Winifred in her room. Martavious is a great help with his younger siblings, Winifred said, but he’s sometimes too rough. And he has a lot of trouble sitting still.

Prosecutor: Fatal shooting stemmed from ‘high school argument’ Kevin Grasha and Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The fatal shooting Nov. 21 near Northwest High School involved several of the school’s students and stemmed from “an ongoing argument” with a female student, prosecutors said Nov. 20. Those new details were included in a news release announcing the indictment of 18-year-old Brian Holmes Jr. – who didn’t attend the school – on murder and felonious assault charges. Killed in the shooting was 25-yearold Rashad Shahid, a 2012 Northwest graduate. Police have said he went with others that afternoon to the neighborhood near the school expecting a fi ght. “A man is dead over a high school argument,” Hamilton County Assistant Prosecutor Stacey DeGraff enreid said in a statement. “The total disregard for human life is horrifying.” Prosecutors said the 17-year-old, a Northwest student who faces a murder charge in juvenile court, had “an ongoing argument” with the sister of another student, 18-year-old Dante Walker III. They decided they were going to resolve that confl ict by having a fi ght off of school grounds, after school let out, police have said. It was the 17-year-old who asked Holmes, an 11th-grader at Dohn Community High School in Walnut Hills, to show up for the fi ght, police said. The teen and Holmes were walking near Butterwick Drive and Newmarket Drive when two vehicles pulled up to the intersection, documents say. The two “crossed paths” with the victims, prosecutors said. Holmes pulled out a .45-caliber Sig Sauer pistol and fi red several shots,

documents say. Shahid was fatally wounded. Walker was shot in the left arm. Everyone involved then ﬂ ed the scene, prosecutors said. Eyewitnesses described seeing several males put a person, likely Shahid, into the back of a car. A woman who called 911 counted four males who helped the wounded man. “Right now, they’re putting the guy in the car. They’re probably going to try to take him to the hospital,” she said. “School’s out, so it’s really crowded. Oh my God.” Soon after, police found the car in nearby Forest Park, on Waycross Road. Shahid was described as being “unconscious” in the back seat. The 17-year-old and Holmes were found by Colerain Township police hiding in the backyard of a home on Grant Avenue, close to Northwest High School, oﬃ cials said. Holmes faces up to life in prison if convicted.

Recipe requests: Snickerdoodles and orzo Orzo with spinach, Parmesan, and Balsamic vinegar

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Snickerdoodles and a “nice, decadent side dish to serve with beef tenderloin” are two recipe requests that recently popped up. Snickerdoodles are a family favorite from daughter-in-law, Jessie. Such a popular holiday cookie, and homemade is much better than store bought. That’s what Terry, a “loyal” reader said when she asked for a from scratch recipe. The reader who wanted the side dish for beef tenderloin said he was not counting calories for a holiday dinner he was going to cook. “Once in a while it’s fun to just enjoy really good food with really good friends,” he said. I couldn’t agree more. The snickerdoodles make a yummy gift from the kitchen. The orzo side dish is spectacular, both in looks, and in taste. You’re welcome…

Cook spinach while orzo is cooking so that you can assemble ﬁ nal dish easily. Ingredients orzo 1 cup orzo 1 clove garlic 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth 2 sprigs thyme, 4” long each ⁄ 4 to 1⁄ 3 cup whipping cream, warmed just a little

⁄ 4 cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions Cook orzo according to package directions, adding garlic and thyme with broth and removing garlic and thyme stems after cooking. Drain if necessary. Stir in cream and cheese. Place in bowl or on platter. Ingredients spinach 1 bag spinach, about 10 oz.

Snickerdoodles are a tasty treat for the holidays. RITA HEIKENFELD

1 nice clove garlic, minced Red pepper flakes — go easy on this

Really good snickerdoodles

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

until well combined.

13⁄ 4 cups sugar, divided

Crisp on the outside edges and just soft enough in the centers. Jess found this on Pioneer Woman’s site. I’ve met Ree Drummond, and I think she’d be tickled to know this cookie is that much loved.

2 large eggs

Mix remaining 1⁄ 4 cup sugar and cinnamon together.

Ingredients 2 ⁄ 2 cups all-purpose flour 1

2 teaspoons cream of tartar 1 teaspoon baking soda ⁄ 4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon cinnamon. Instructions Preheat oven to 400 and line baking sheets with parchment. Whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Cream butter and 1 ⁄ 2 cups sugar on medium speed until fluffy, about 3–5 minutes. 1

Beat in eggs, scrape bowl, then turn to low and slowly add flour mixture

Use a 1 ⁄ 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to measure out dough balls. Roll each in hands to even out, then roll in cinnamon sugar to thoroughly coat. 1

Place on baking sheets, 2-1⁄ 2 inches apart. Bake 8-9 minutes, until just barely golden around edges. Cool several minutes before taking off sheets. Makes 24-36.

Salt Balsamic vinegar Parmesan cheese Instructions In large pot, pour in enough olive oil to ﬁ lm bottom of pan. Add garlic and pepper flakes. Add spinach, rinsed (leave some water clinging to leaves). Put lid on and cook on high until wilted, stirring a couple of times. Season with salt. Assembly Make well in orzo. Pour spinach mixture in. Drizzle with vinegar and sprinkle on more cheese. Serves 3-4 as a side.

Otto Warmbier’s parents chasing North Korean assets: ‘We cannot give up’ Kim Tong-Hyung ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEOUL, South Korea — The parents of a former U.S. hostage who died after being released from North Korea in a coma in 2017 say they are committed to fi nding and shutting down illicit North Korean business assets around the world in eff orts to hold its government accountable for widespread human rights abuses. In a news conference in Seoul on Friday, Nov. 22, Fred and Cindy Warmbier of also called for the Trump administration to raise North Korea’s human rights problems as it engages in negotiations to defuse the country’s nuclear threat. The Warmbiers live in Wyoming, a Cincinnati suburb. “My mission would be to hold North Korea responsible, to recover and discover their assets around the world,” said Fred Warmbier, who was invited to a forum hosted by a Seoul-based group representing the families of South Koreans abducted by the North during the 1950-53 Korean War. “We feel that if you force North Korea to engage the world in a legal standpoint, then they will have to ultimately have a dialogue. They are not going to come and have a dialogue with us any other way,” he said. The Warmbiers have claimed that their college student son, Otto, was tortured by North Korea after being convicted in 2016 of trying to steal a propaganda poster and imprisoned for months. The 22-year-old Wyoming High School grad suff ered severe brain damage and died shortly after being returned to the United States in a vegetative state in June 2017.

The North denied that it tortured or cruelly treated the University of Virginia student and called itself the “biggest victim” in his death while accusing Washington and Seoul of orchestrating a smear campaign. In December last year, a U.S. federal judge ordered North Korea pay more than $500 million in a wrongful death suit ﬁ led by the Warmbiers over their son, although they are unlikely to collect on the judgment. The Warmbiers have been pushing legal action seeking the closure of a

hostel operated on the grounds of the North Korean Embassy in Berlin and plan to go after other hostels the country operates in Europe, which they say are aimed at pressuring governments to tighten their enforcement of sanctions against Pyongyang. “We cannot give up, we can’t give them a pass. We have to ﬁ ght with all of our power,” Cindy Warmbier said. She also expressed hope that the Trump administration would use its diplomatic opening with Pyongyang to address the North’s human rights is-

sues. During the earlier part of his presidency, President Donald Trump strongly criticized North Korea over its dismal human rights record, inviting the Warmbiers to his State of the Union address last year where he lashed out at the “depraved character” of the government led by third-generation leader Kim Jong Un. But Trump months later began playing down the severity of North Korea’s human rights record and showering Kim with praises as they engaged in high-stakes nuclear summitry, which has so far led to three meetings but failed to produce substantial agreements on the North’s nuclear disarmament. Following his second summit with Kim in Vietnam in February, Trump said he takes Kim “at his word” that Kim was unaware of the alleged mistreatment of Otto Warmbier while he was imprisoned there.

Pointing to Ohio legislation that makes it a felony to assault a teacher, one local police department is warning parents on Facebook about the consequences associated with assaulting school personnel. The warning came on the heels of four teachers injured by female students Monday, Nov. 18 and Tuesday, Nov. 19 at Mount Healthy High School. “We wanted to let the community know (on our Facebook post) what was going on and how we are responding to it,” said Mount Healthy Police Sgt. Greg Nolte. “In two days (consecutively), we have charged two diff erent students for assaulting staff members. It does happen, but this is odd. Usually, we have student-on-student incidents, not students on faculty.” Police made the Facebook post on Wednesday, Nov. 20 urging guardians to speak with their students about assaulting teachers, bus drivers, support staff and administration on and off school property. The department wants guardians to have the conversation so students don’t have to with police. “I have instructed my offi cers there is to be zero tolerance when addressing any assaults involving teachers or other school workers,” the post read. “In addition, depending on the age of the assailant, and the situation leading up to the assault, Mount Healthy Police will make every attempt to have the involved juvenile charged as an adult.” Nolte said whether students will be charged as adults or not is based on their criminal history or off enses and the discretion of the court. So what exactly happened?

The fi rst incident occurred Nov. 18. Offi cers responded to a school fi ght. Upon arrival, offi cers spoke with staff and reviewed the altercation on school footage. Two school administrators told police the student was previously expelled and was not allowed on school grounds. One of the teachers said they had mouth pain due to an injury from the altercation. The 15-year-old student was taken into custody and transported to the Hamilton County Juvenile Youth Center on two felony assault charges, a count misdemeanor for disorderly conduct and a criminal trespass charge. On Nov. 19, police were called to the school again because of another school fi ght. According to police, a 16-year-old student struck the school principal and a security guard in the face. The student was detained without incident and arrested on two counts of assault. She was transported to the Juvenile Detention Center. Missy Knight, the spokeswoman for Mount Healthy City Schools, said school personnel broke up both fi ghts, resulting in injuries to staff members. She said the district is taking these situations seriously and promoting conversations with students to prevent fi ghts. “Students and parents are reminded to say something if you see or hear of something that might occur, so we may have time to prevent issues such as this,” Knight said in an email. “We provide students with the expectations of their behaviors in all aspects of their academic day, including building expectations as well as how to communicate when they are upset with another person or an issue within the building.”

A meteoric rise: Inside the growth of college esports Luke Feliciano

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Headphones encase Jack Barford's ears and a microphone is at the ready. They are part of the video-crafting ensemble he wields to broadcast himself to his 300,000 subscribers and the world. The 22-year-old Xavier University student and Cincinnati La Salle High School graduate started a YouTube channel ﬁ ve years ago under the name BfordLancer48. He has achieved success in making videos about FIFA, the EA Sports soccer video game. He is not yet a household name but soon could be. His achievements exemplify the ever-growing presence and popularity of online sports. Gaming, like what Barford does, is just a part of that. So is varsity esports. That's because online sports are now going where most of its followers are: To college. Varsity esports, or gaming done in teams, is sponsored by the universities and played in their name. Nationwide, there are almost 400 such programs at America's colleges and universities. Ohio schools are among those leading the charge. Only California, Texas, New York and Pennsylvania have more such programs, according to a list provided by the National Collegiate Scouting Association. So what is esports, really? It's amped-up gaming. That is, everyday gamers can play anything from reallife virtual sports games (you can play as LeBron in video game form!) to fantasy games speciﬁ cally created for a video game audience in competition form. For example, here's what a general gamer experience would look like: You sign on, enter the game, and play with a group of people that you might know or who are random. Some casual gamers stream their gaming experiences, but it's mostly just for their own pleasure. Here's what a college esports experience would look like: You play against others, per a pre-determined collegeagainst-college schedule. Fans can watch the action if you're live-streaming on a service such as Twitch. The teams don't even have to be in the same location because of online play.

Games categorized as massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games and battle royale games are the most prevalent selections in the college esports scene. The potential for growth, for participation and for fun is huge, say the players and those who tune in. But, fi rst things fi rst, is esports really a sport? Chris Postell, a University of Cincinnati alum and founder of the fi rst college esports club, says yes. It's competitive. It has a community. It takes skill. It's watchable and most have developer support. The future looks bright, experts say, because of who is playing, who is watching and how much money the sport will earn – especially through sponsorship – to support the industry in the long term. The skill-building and community-driven foundation that esports is built upon almost ensures the

continued growth of the sport. The statistical ﬁ gures provided by game developers such as Riot Games have helped place the ascent of college esports into perspective. In 2018, Michael Sherman, the Director of Collegiate Esports for Riot Games, reported to Sport Techie that 62% of the college students rostered on the developer's League of Legends team are STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) students. “What that means is they (STEM students) are going to have a higher estimated income after graduation, they are going to be America’s future middle class, and that has the generated return of donations back to the university as alumni,” Postell said. “Realistically, these are going to be the students capable of donating to the university in a massive way.” Universities see that as a huge winwin.

Step one If you're going to have a college sport, you're going to need some rules. The fi eld here has already got that covered. TESPA is one of the largest governing bodies to oversee college esports competitions. TESPA, which started as the Texas Esports Association, now includes more than 270 programs across the country with more than 102,000 members and alumni. The National Association of Collegiate esports (NACE) is a nonprofi t organization that has produced $15 million in scholarship and aid for esports athletes and now which includes 130 schools and roughly 3,000 competitors. One major conference, the Big East, appears to be at the implementation stage having formed a pilot program for an esports league.

COMMUNITY NEWS Parade cancellation doesn’t deter American Heritage Girls Troop OH0128 Sadly, the Veterans Day Parade was canceled this November. The City of Cheviot’s Facebook page stated, “The participation rate was low possibly because of all the other Veterans events and parades that go on that same weekend. The City of Cheviot still wants to thank our Veterans, today and everyday, for their service to this country.” American Heritage Girls Troop OH0128, who earned two awards from the veterans and mayor of Cheviot in the Memorial Day parade, had plans to also honor veterans this November. Undeterred by the parade cancellation, the girls instead visited with the veterans at their Nov. 8 banquet, taking them a little snack the girls made and shaking hands to say thanks for serving. Last year, the girls provided enough personally crafted placemats to also supply this year’s banquet. The girls have also been collecting money to purchase wreaths and will place them on graves at Woodside Cemetery in Middletown in December to honor fallen veterans. If you would like to purchase wreaths for the girls to lay, please visit: WreathsAcrossAmerica.org /pages/24130/overview/ American Heritage Girls is a Christcentered character and leadership development program for girls 5 to 18 years of age.

lege e-athletes, but the league includes seven out of the 10 institutions for select games. Xavier University is part of this, ﬁ elding a budding esports program through recreation sports and sending a team to compete in Rocket League for the last two years at Big East events. “Right now, the Big East is trying to determine what they want to do moving forward in esports," Glenn Arnold, assistant director for recreation sports at Xavier, said. “The Big East and the schools within it are all looking at esports very seriously.” The biggest underlying question, according to Arnold, is and will be, how far colleges want to go with esports.

Esports on campus The earliest esports were likely those launched at Stanford University in 1972 and competitive championships developed circa 1980. However, a lot of the attention to college esports had to wait for the technology to catch up – mainly for cross-console and online play. UC's Postell became a pioneer in the collegiate esports scene in 2012 through his own initiative, creating a blueprint for other universities to follow. As an undergraduate student, he was the catalyst behind the founding of the fi rst esports program as a sanctioned club sport in the country. The club’s establishment coincided with an event consisting of presentations, panels and competition. In attendance was one of the most successful professional players, xPeke, from the Fnatic League of Legends team. Postell’s grassroots campaign resulted in a side group that experienced a rapid numbers spike – starting with just 15 members and increasing to around 700 members in the span of four years. The infl ux of new members signing up for the club proved benefi cial for both the club and the university. In the end, it's really a numbers game. “The university wants more numbers to sign on for their enrollment program," Postell said. "The social side wants more numbers so that the club can be bigger,

and if you have more people in the club, then naturally you have a higher chance of fi nding those high-tier players, who you can then take and move into your competitive program.” UC’s esports team is solely operated by club management and is not part of its athletic department. The distinction as a club team still allows players to be recognized as student-athletes and grants the club rights to use trademarked university logos. A business proposal from Cincinnati Christian University (CCU) esports head coach Jared Fayne was all the convincing the administration needed to kickstart the esports program at that school. University offi cials were brainstorming ways to boost enrollment and they decided to use athletics to attract students to the school. The Mount St. Joseph University’s (MSJ) esports team fi rst plugged into the gaming environment with a chic setup in the basement of the admissions offi ce. Now, the program is surfacing as a competitive sport housed in the athletic department. The nascent college esports teams – who just began inaugural seasons during the 2019-20 academic year – already have high expectations.

Recruitment efforts afoot At smaller colleges – like MSJ and CCU – student-athletes make up a large portion of the student population.

That's why recruiting is an essential arm of athletics with the end goal focused on locating talent to fuel the program. For MSJ esports head coach Tim David, who serves as an admissions offi cer at the college as well, recruiting students to the school and to the esports program is a simultaneous undertaking. CCU's Fayne has an alternative approach to recruiting. He scouts talent by watching live streams of players he is targeting. What exactly do esports recruiters look for in athletes? Turns out, the vital skills are akin to that of a typical athlete. “I look for how they (players) respond to adversity. I look at leadership skills,” Fayne said. “The number one thing is actually being able to be coached because every person who plays games think they are really good – and they’re not,” David said. There are plenty of incentives that come with playing college esports competitively. MSJ off ers students $2,000 scholarships to play on the team. During the fi rst year of the club, the program had the ability to grant up to 10 scholarships and David doesn't expect that number to dwindle anytime soon. CCU's esports scholarship award money hovers near the national average, according to Fayne.

places where esports is growing. Phil Kaplan's background in technology and real estate has made him keenly aware of the transformation the gaming industry has undergone over the last decade. He is the chief operating offi cer in charge of GameWorks, a national entertainment company for arcade and video games. Kaplan contends that esports has challenged traditional sports in an unprecedented way and noted that the main audience demographic is made up of Generation Z and millennials. “It’s not just one game, it’s a lot of different games,” he said. “Streaming has disrupted traditional broadcast media, especially in esports. Streaming is core to the way we reach that audience of athletes and enabling streaming and media experiences to our guests at our stores, is, I think, very important.” Kaplan tried to explain the rise of college esports by talking about something a lot of people know: America’s pastime. “Imagine starting Major League Baseball from scratch,” he said. “You started with pro teams and now you have to build the amateur structure too. This is basically a sport being started almost from scratch in tech time if you will.” For now, high school clubs, Fayne says, present themselves as the pipeline esports needs in order to be viable as a college enterprise. Esports clubs work eff ectively to break down the stigma of video games being an individual, reclusive activity. So when will the NCAA get involved? That's anybody's guess. Since college esports do not yet fall under NCAA jurisdiction, athletes and clubs can accept thprize money from winning tournaments while in college without relinquishing amateur status. “The NCAA has actually invested a lot of money and time into researching esports, and on paper upfront, their result was inconclusive on whether they wanted to do this or not,” Postell commented. “The reason for this is every NCAA decision has to have buy-in and approval from all the universities participating in it.” That means each NCAA institution would be required to unanimously vote for esports to become an offi cial sport. In tech time, though, that could be pretty quick.

2009. Over the years he served as President of the Cincinnati Auto Dealers Association, President of the Cincinnati Chevy Dealers, was on the board of Ohio Automotive Dealer Association, served as Chairman for Xavier University’s “All for One” campaign and was Chairman of Phase II Capital Campaign for Bayley Place. Ackerman After the close of the dealership, Mark and Phil Purkiser joined partners to open the Glenway Auto Center. Mark lives in Green Township with his wife Joy. The Ackerman Family now has the ﬁ fth generation working in the business, with Mark’s son Nick involved in the business. Glenway Auto Center purchased Hammonds Service Center from Connie Hammonds on September 9, 2015. The location is a 5965 Centennial Circle in Florence, Kentucky. Glenway is excited about expanding their business with the new location. They have kept all of the previous employees at that location and are adding some new employees for the expected increase in volume. Phil and Mark are sharing time at the new location in order to get things operating the way that Glenway expects it to run. The Kentucky location is convenient to Florence, Burlington, Hebron and Erlanger and other communities in Northern Kentucky. We encourage everyone to recommend our new location to any family and friends.

Local Christmas carolers. PROVIDED

Glenway Auto Center features covered drive-in lanes, so you never have to worry about inclement weather when you bring in your vehicle for maintenance and repair. With a relaxing and inviting customer lounge while you wait, or if you prefer, they also provide shuttle and rental car services. All extended service contracts are honored at Glenway Auto Center. They also have all tire brands in stock with prices that beat the competition. Fast, trustworthy, and reliable. Mark Ackerman, Glenway Auto Center

Christmas caroling initiative celebrates 10 years with a one-hour challenge A Cincinnati-based Christmas caroling initiative is asking people to commit just one hour this holiday season to spread God’s love through songs. Go Caroling Cincinnati encourages family, friends, neighbors, or colleagues to form their own caroling groups around the tristate this Christmas season. “We invest lots of time and money decorating our homes, buying gifts, ﬁ ghting traﬃ c, and generally running around at Christmas,” said Darrel Geis, Go Caroling Cincinnati founder, and

president of Christian Blue Network. “All of those are likely done with good intentions, but the one thing people need at Christmas is LOVE, and particularly the love that Jesus brings. “Our challenge is to take just one hour this Christmas season to share the love of Christ by singing Christmas carols to those around us who need to experience it.” Geis launched Go Caroling Cincinnati in 2010 and publishes 15,000 copies of Christmas Blue Pages, every year. The free song book is available at all Busken Bakery locations in Greater Cincinnati (while supplies last). The 32-page publication contains traditional Christmas carols, along with the story of the birth of Christ in a read aloud program that groups can use at a local nursing home, in the neighborhood, or around the family Christmas tree. The song books are also available as a free download at www.gocaroling.com. Caroling groups are encouraged to register on the website to be eligible for prizes including tickets to Ark Encounter, Creation Museum, a hot air balloon ride, and Busken Bakery gift cards. Christian Blue Network, publisher of the song book, provides consumers access to a broad category oﬀ ering of veriﬁ ed Christian businesses through its print, web and mobile app network. It publishes the annual Christian Blue Pages print directory, the online search directory www.TrustBlueReview.com, and the Trust Blue Mobile App. Sara Cullin, Go Caroling Cincinnati

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

ANSWERS ON PAGE 6B

No. 1201 OPEN WIDE!

BY FRANK LONGO / EDITED BY WILL SHORTZ Frank Longo, of Hoboken, N.J., is a professional puzzlemaker and editor. He creates the weekly “Premier Crossword” for King Features Syndicate, as well as the Sunday “Spelling Bee” for this magazine. He is the author of more than 150 books of Sudoku puzzles. Today’s crossword is unthemed, which means the focus is on vocabulary that is as lively and colorful as possible, with no other constraint. To construct it, Frank started with the central Across stack, then built outward. The finished puzzle has 122 answers, the lowest number ever for a Sunday Times crossword. — W.S.
