Charmaine McGuﬀ ey sworn in as sheriﬀ , dismisses some employees Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Charmaine McGuff ey made history Jan. 4 when she took the oath of offi ce as the fi rst openly gay person and fi rst woman to become Hamilton County sheriff . Hamilton County Clerk of Courts Aftab Pureval administered the oath to McGuff ey Jan. 4 in a small conference room in the sheriff ’s offi ce downtown. “It’s a momentous day,” McGuff ey said to the handful of people in the room, the audience limited due to COVID-19. “It’s a great day. You can just feel the energy in this room and in this offi ce. It’s great energy. To stand behind this podium, to address you as the sheriff of Hamilton County, it was a climb.” McGuff ey’s election in November made national headlines in the New York Times,Washington Post and NBC News among others. She is one of at least fi ve openly gay sheriff s in the country, according to the LGBTQ Victory Fund, a political action committee devoted to electing openly gay candidates. McGuff ey will take charge of a sheriff ’s offi ce that fi red her three years earlier after she had worked there for 34 years. McGuff ey fi led a federal lawsuit against the sheriff ’s offi ce in 2018 claiming she was fi red in part because she was openly gay and in part because she blew the whistle on excessive use of force by sheriff ’s deputies and corrections offi cers. McGuff ey and Hamilton County of-

After a car accident destroyed a 23-foot-tall tree outside Fire Station 54 in Green Township, fi refi ghters came together to make sure it was replaced in less than 12 hours. It isn’t just any old tree though. The evergreen tree was planted in 2001 to honor Katie Luchsinger, a brave 11-year-old girl who died in a house fi re in 1999 after fi refi ghters tried to save her. She was babysitting her brother and sister

when the house caught on fi re. She gave up her life so her siblings could live. Her parents, Bob and Terry Luchsinger decorate her tree every year with the help of Green Township fi refi ghters and relatives. “You’ll never forget Katie,” Bob Luchsinger told the Enquirer. See KATIE, Page 5A

McGuﬀ ey Continued from Page 1A

fi cials recently settled the lawsuit after the county agreed to pay McGuff ey $212,500 in lost wages and benefi ts in addition to court costs to be determined by a judge.

McGuffey said dismissals weren’t lawsuit related On Jan. 4, McGuff ey said she can unite the department after the lawsuit. Upon taking offi ce, McGuff ey dismissed eight employees of the sheriff ’s offi ce, most of them high-ranking offi cers that led the investigative, training and civil court divisions of the sheriff ’s offi ce. The day after Christmas, McGuff ey sent the eight employees a letter informing them their employment would cease on Jan. 4. She instructed them to clean out their workspace and cruisers before then, according to the letter obtained by The Enquirer. The eight employees were Chief Deputy Mark Schoonover, Maj. Earl Price, Maj. William Rarrick, Maj. Walt Hendrick, administrators Mike Robison and Keith Clepper and corrections offi cers Dave Turner and Sgt. Joseph Burton. McGuff ey said the dismissals weren’t retaliation for her fi ring. Every sheriff in the state hires a new command staff when taking offi ce, she said. “I don’t have an ax to grind,” McGuffey said. “I’m doing what 88 county sheriff s in the state of Ohio do and I shouldn’t be expected to do it diff erently.” McGuff ey said she chose people “who want to concentrate on the reforms that I want to bring forward.” McGuff ey said there is nothing un-

usual with a new administration changing the leadership. “I’ve worked for three sheriff s now, and every sheriff that came into this offi ce brought their command staff with them,” McGuff ey said.

Won’t enforce immigration laws without a warrant McGuff ey also made some pledges Jan. 4 for her fi rst 90 days in offi ce. She said she would not “use local taxpayer dollars to enforce federal immigration laws.” She said she’s going to leave immigration investigations to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and will only arrest someone if a warrant is signed by a judge. “I want people to feel they can work with law enforcement when they’re reporting a crime,” McGuff ey said. “When they’ve been a victim of a crime, I want them to feel comfortable they can come forward to law enforcement regardless

of their documentation. The sheriﬀ ’s ofﬁ ce should not be doing the work of the federal government.”

Decreasing the use of force McGuff ey pledged to reduce the number of times deputies and corrections offi cers have to use force to subdue someone. She said deputies will get additional training in ethics and de-escalation. “I will create a culture of de-escalation,” McGuff ey said. “I believed in deescalation. I think it is the way we work safely.” McGuff ey ousted her predecessor, Jim Neil, in the Democratic Primary this year, winning a decisive 70% of the vote.

Neil’s attendance at a rally for President Donald Trump and conservative leanings displeased the local Democratic Party, which endorsed McGuff ey. It is an unusual move for a party to endorse a challenger to one of the party’s incumbents. McGuff ey faced tougher opposition from Republican sheriff ’s candidate Bruce Hoff bauer, a Cincinnati Police veteran. But McGuff ey won with 52% of the vote. McGuff ey worked her way up through the ranks of the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Offi ce after she started there in 1983. Neil promoted her to major in 2013 and put her in charge of the jail, where she worked until she was fi red in 2017.

Appeals court judge scorches CPS in case of 8-year-old’s suicide Anne Saker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Jan. 3 (updated Jan. 6). Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. Eight-year-old Gabriel Taye died by suicide nearly four years ago, and for nearly as long, federal judges have studied the chronic bullying he endured at Carson Elementary School. Gabriel’s parents sued Cincinnati Public Schools for his wrongful death and presented evidence that Carson leaders repeatedly lied to Gabriel’s mother and, as the bullying intensifi ed, threatened Gabriel with punishment if he fought back. In defense, CPS asked for dismissal. Nothing Carson’s leaders did, the system’s lawyers argued, was bad enough to lift the legal shield for offi cial acts of teachers and administrators. But last week, three judges of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals told CPS to get ready for trial. Last week, they unanimously rejected the motion for dismissal. Of the Carson leaders’ treatment of Gabriel, “This court fi nds their behavior, as alleged, to be egregious and clearly reckless, thus barring them from the shield of government immunity,” wrote Judge Bernice Bouie Donald in the ruling. She called Gabriel’s time at Carson a “horrifying experience” and called CPS arguments “unpersuasive,” “meritless” and a “gross mischaracterization” of the evidence the parents off ered. No trial date has been set. Named in the suit are the Cincinnati Board of Education, now-retired CPS Superintendent Mary Ronan, former Carson Elementary Principal Ruthenia Jackson, former Carson Elementary Assistant Principal Jeff rey McKenzie and former Carson nurse Margaret McLaughlin. Bringing the case are Gabriel’s parents, Cornelia Reynolds of Cincinnati and Benyam Taye of Atlanta. The family name is pronounced TIE-ay. A jury seated in the case will look at the connection between bullying and suicide. While it is diffi cult to pinpoint bullying as a cause, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says bullied children have the highest rates of depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. Gabriel was in the third grade at Carson when on Jan. 24, 2017, another student pushed him into a wall of a boys’ restroom, the blow knocking Gabriel unconscious for seven minutes. In a school video of the assault, the other student can be seen dancing over Gabriel. McKenzie found Gabriel and simply stood over him. School offi cials did not call 911 as CPS policy requires. The school nurse only told his mother that Gabriel

fainted. Later that day, he complained of stomach pain and spent several hours at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. He stayed home from school Jan. 25, but on Jan. 26, two other students bullied Gabriel in a Carson restroom and stole his water bottle. He died after school that day in his bedroom of his mother’s Westwood apartment. But bullying long had been a part of Gabriel’s life at Carson, as the Dec. 29 appeals court decision outlines. In ﬁ rst grade, he was injured on the playground in what oﬃ cials called an accident, but his two front teeth had to be removed. In second grade, students hit Gabriel in

two instances but were never punished. Gabriel’s parents say the school never called them. Three times in October 2016, three months before Gabriel died, students punched or hit him, and once when he hit back, school leaders warned he’d be punished if he defended himself again. On Halloween, Gabriel suff ered a head injury, but Jackson and McKenzie told his mother they could not determine how it happened. They refused her request to look at video footage of the playground. Earlier in January 2017, Gabriel was attacked and injured three other times. McKenzie told Gabriel’s mother that no video captured the incidents, and Gabriel’s injuries amounted to “horseplay.” McKenzie did not tell Gabriel’s mother that he had suspended two students for attacking Gabriel. Gabriel’s parents fi led their federal suit in August 2017. U.S. District Judge Timothy S. Black, who is presiding over the case, refused CPS’s motion to dismiss on the matter of immunity in September 2018. If the parents’ details are true, Black ruled, they amount “to a pattern of constitutional violations.” CPS sought the appellate review, which was more than two years in the making. Joining Donald in her Dec. 29 ruling were appeals Judges Richard Allen Griffi n and Jane Brandsteter Stanch. After the decision, CPS offi cials referred requests for comment to lawyer Aaron M. Herzig of the Taft, Stettinius and Hollister law fi rm in Cincinnati. “We are considering our options,” he said. “This case will continue in the trial court regardless. This is just an interim decision early in the case.” The ruling “is based on (the parents’) side of the story and assumes that everything they said in their complaint is true,” he said. “It does not refl ect the facts as they have developed throughout this case.” Reynolds’ lawyer, Jennifer Branch of Cincinnati, said after the ruling, “The truth about what happened to Gabe at Carson Elementary needs to be revealed and shared with all parents.” Through his lawyer, Michele Young of Cincinnati, Benyam Taye said the ruling “is a step forward on fi ghting bullying. I’m excited that we are one step closer helping the millions of helpless kids like my son Gabriel Taye across the nation.” Branch said the case against CPS has grown stronger in the past year. “We’ve taken all the depositions, and we’ve got thousands and thousands of documents. Despite the pandemic, we made a lot of progress.” The case will proceed without Branch. In November, she won election as a Hamilton County Common Pleas judge. Taking over is her law partner, Al Gerhardstein.

Life Beyond Caregiving

While the three-foot replacement tree is much smaller than the last one, the family is grateful they were able to continue their tradition of adding Christmas lights and ornaments. They even added reindeer to the mix this year. “It turned out nice and everybody was in an upbeat mood,” Bob Luchsinger said. “We’re going to make another one grow and not going to let this change our spirits. It meant a lot to us. Tragedy turned into a great friendship and partnership. “ Wilde Nursery donated the tree after ﬁ reﬁ ghter Chris Gemmel and his brother Nick reached out to them the morning after the accident. Within an hour or two, the crew was able to remove the tree, prepare the ground and plant the new one, according to Lt. Chris Godfrey, the district chief of Green Twp. Fire Department. “The guys that work at that station really appreciate the history of the tree and the incredible generosity and compassion of the Luchsinger family,” Godfrey said. The surface of the original tree was destroyed after a 24-year-old intoxicated driver lost control of his vehicle. Godfrey said several roots still remain and that the driver turned himself in.

Let us now praise the cottage ham Keith Pandolﬁ Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

I didn’t grow up with many Midwestern food traditions. As the child of New Englanders who relocated to Cincinnati when I was 9, I was more familiar with Yankee pot roasts than cheesy casseroles, Prince spaghetti than Cincinnati chili, State Line potato chips than Grippo’s. It wasn’t until I started writing for a fancy New York food magazine that my curiosity regarding the foods of this area took hold. I wrote deep dives on goetta; features about Johnny Marzetti and countless stories about our chili. At a time when the New York media seemed obsessed with the regional foods of the South and the West Coast, I proposed that the foods of the Midwest, including German, Appalachian and, yes, Cincinnati foods, deserved just as much attention. Which is why I’m ashamed to admit that it was only eight or so months ago that I discovered a food many Enquirer readers probably know quite well: A little something called cottage ham. You should know that they aren’t really hams at all. While hams are cut from the pig’s upper hind leg, cottage “ham” is cut from the upper part of the shoulder – otherwise known as the butt – which is often used for dishes such as pulled pork. But instead of heading to a local barbecue joint, butchers here brine and cure the cuts, instead. “We call it the money cut,” says Len Bleh, owner of Avril-Bleh Meats & Deli, Downtown. “We trim them, and cure them for three days in the same brine we use for Canadian bacon and ham hocks.” As to why cottage hams are so unique to Cincinnati, my only guess is that, in a city once dubbed Porkopolis, our local butchers probably came up with all sorts of imaginative things. Cottage ham (and, of course, goetta) were simply the ones that stood the test of time. While Bleh sells about 40 or so cottage hams each week, that number skews much higher during the summer green bean season since, along with the requisite potatoes and onions, the hams are traditionally cooked with fresh beans (that said, many people I talked to use whatever they can ﬁ nd at the grocery,

even if they’re canned). One thing’s for sure, it’s hard to ﬁ nd cottage hamutside of southeast Ohio. Like goetta and chili, home cooks are always coming up with new ways to use cottage hams, too. Last year, Bleh sold some of his to the famed Holly Hill Inn in Midway, Kentucky, where owner Ouita Michel and company used them for a regional variation of cassoulet. Paul Barraco, owner and chef of the Governor restaurant in Milford, cooks his with shell beans, creating an old-fashioned soup bean dish that he serves with cornbread. Mitchell Arens, a co-founder of Y’all Hospitality, which owns Butler’s Pantry in Covington, uses it in white bean soup or sliced thin on a grilled cheese sandwich. My own introduction to cottage ham happened last year, a month or so after I moved back to Cincinnati from New York. While shopping at the Newtown Farm Market on Roundbottom Road, I noted a small display of cottage hams from Walnut Creek Farm in Millersburg, Ohio. I picked one of the ﬁ st-sized nubs of meat up in my hand, thought how the name was kind of cute, and put it back. My guess back then was that it was basically just like those small, inexpensive vacuum-sealed hams I pick up at Kroger whenever I’m feeling a little bit hammy. But as the months passed by, I kept seeing them, not just in grocery stores, but in the meat cases of some of the city’s best butcher shops. There they were at Wassler Meats on Harrison Avenue; Stehlin’s on Colerain, and, of course, Avril-Bleh, Downtown. When I asked Bleh about the hams, it

was like asking him about a long lost love. He described in glowing detail how his mother used to cook them up with fresh green beans and potatoes. “You know what?” he said. “I’m going to make some cottage ham this weekend. It’s been too long.” Surely I was missing out on something good. After taking advantage of Bleh’s curbside pickup to procure my ﬁ rst ham, I went home and started Googling recipes. I found a great one right here in The Enquirer from Batavia-based food blogger (and Enquirer contributor) Rita Nader Heikenfeld, who wrote how her mother used to cook cottage hams “on top of the stove in a big, iron kettle.” These days, Heikenfeld uses a slowcooker, instead, piling it with green beans, potatoes, onion and ham, before letting it cook for 4-6 hours. I did the exact same thing, using the best green beans and baby potatoes I could ﬁ nd at the nearby Fresh Market. Six hours later, I placed the results on a dinner platter and admired the results, which (I have to be honest here) didn’t look all that promising. And that’s the thing about low expectations. They often lead to the biggest surprises. In the case of this cottage ham, it was nothing short of a revelation. The smoky, briny fat had melted into the vegetables, turning the green beans into something that reminded me of my beloved Appalachian great grandmother, even though I never had an Appalachian great grandmother. I’ll admit that part of the appeal of cottage ham is the fact that it’s called cottage ham. According to Dann Woellert, who runs the essential Cincinnati food blog, the Food Etymologist, the name might come from its diminutive size. “A reasonable theory on the name might be that a Cincinnati butcher in the 1800s dubbed them cottage hams because they are small, like a cottage home – just the perfect size for cooking beans.” Is he right? It doesn’t matter. What matters is that, along with homemade Cincinnati chili and goetta, it’s now a staple in our household. What matters is that I’m now far more of a Midwesterner than I am a New Englander. What matters is that a southwest Ohio food tradition like cottage ham still endures.

Both men who admitted traffi cking fentanyl out of a room at Downtown’s Millennium Hotel have now been sentenced, offi cials said. On Jan. 6, Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Chris Wagner sentenced 31-year-old Keyonta Hicks to four years in prison, a term that had been agreed upon as part of his guilty plea. Late last month, a man related to Hicks, 28-year-old Keron Hicks, also was sentenced to an agreed-upon four years in prison. During a November 2019 raid of their hotel room, police found more than 360 grams of fentanyl, offi cials said. The drug had been prepared for sale, court documents say. Police also found items including digital scales, a duff el bag with about $2,700 in cash and “a large amount of jewelry,” the documents say. The street value of the fentanyl found in the hotel room was estimated to be more than $500,000. An extremely small amount of the synthetic opiate can be lethal. Both Keron and Keyonta Hicks pleaded guilty in September 2020 to drug traffi cking charges. Court documents list the same East Price Hill address for both men.

Court: Golfer can't sue parks board over lawn mower incident

A golfer who said he was injured on a Hamilton County golf course fi ve years ago in an unusual incident involving a riding lawn mower can’t sue the county parks board, an appeals court has ruled. Robert O’Brien was seeking half a million dollars for damages and medical bills, documents say. But in an opinion recently issued, the 1st District Court of Appeals said the parks board, as a political subdivision, was immune from liability. In May 2016, O’Brien was playing golf with two friends at the Miami Whitewater Forest Golf Course near Harrison. As O’Brien stood near his golf cart waiting for his friends to tee off at the fourth hole, a golf course employee operating a riding lawn mower stopped at the top of a steep hill behind the tee box and turned off the engine, according to court documents. Soon after, O’Brien heard someone yell, “Look out!” The lawn mower, with the employee still in the seat, came “fl ying down the hill towards him,” the court's opinion says. The employee was unable to stop the lawn mower. O’Brien was ultimately knocked to the mower’s deck and then carried to the bottom of the hill, according to the opinion, where he “fl ew off the lawn mower and into the weeds, injuring his shoulder.” A risk manager for Great Parks of Hamilton County investigated but could not determine what caused the lawn mower to go down the hill. The risk manager said the lawn mower showed damage after the incident, according to the opinion, but he wasn’t sure if the damage existed previously or if it was caused by what happened. Also according to the opinion, a golf course mechanic who serviced the mower regularly said it “had no mechanical problems or condition issues beyond normal wear and tear before the accident.” The appeals court said there was no dispute that Great Parks is a political subdivision and that the alleged negligence happened in the course of performing a governmental function – which would make it immune from liability. The court said O’Brien hadn’t shown any of the exceptions necessary to remove that immunity. O’Brien, it said, “failed to point to facts in the record showing (he) could prevail at a trial.”

SPORTS Elder’s Ramsey MVP after leading Northwestern to convincing Citrus Bowl victory Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. – Northwestern’s defense sent coordinator Mike Hankwitz into retirement as a winner. Peyton Ramsey, who played at Elder High School and began his career at Indiana before becoming a graduate transfer, threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score, and the 15th-ranked Wildcats clamped down defensively to beat Auburn 35-19 in the Citrus Bowl on Jan. 1. Ramsey totaled 291 yards passing and 50 yards rushing for Northwestern (7-2), which won its fourth straight bowl game. Ramaud Chiaokhiao-Brown, John Raine and Riley Lees had touchdown catches for the Wildcats, who bounced back from an ugly loss to Ohio State on Dec. 19 in the Big Ten championship game. It was the fi nal game for the 73-yearold Hankwitz, who is retiring after a 51year coaching career that included 400 victories at nine schools. He was the defensive coordinator for Colorado’s 1990 national championship team and spent the last 13 seasons as Northwestern’s coordinator. “For Hank, you want to talk about the (legend), think about this: 580 career games coached, 400 career wins, 288 of those as a defensive coordinator, 11 conference championships and a national championship,” Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “There’s a lot to be thankful for – our seniors, to Hank and our players down here.” Bo Nix threw for 292 yards for Auburn (6-5) but was often frustrated by Northwestern’s defense, which came in allowing 15.5 points per game, ranked fi fth in the nation. Auburn was led by interim coach Kevin Steele following the Dec. 13 fi ring of Gus Malzahn and was missing several key players. “We’re Auburn football and we’re never going to make excuses for who’s out there and who’s not out there. It’s next man up,” Steele said. “It doesn’t matter – COVID, injury or opt-outs, we don’t (make excuses). We had some young guys who did some really good things that are going to help them for the

future of the program.” Auburn got within 14-13 when Nix hit Elijah Canion for a 57-yard touchdown midway through the third quarter. But Ramsey responded with a 30-yard touchdown run late in the quarter. “On the 30-yard run, it was a look we had seen a couple times earlier in the year, but this time they didn’t spy me,” Ramsey said. “I was able to get out in the open fi eld and get in the end zone. More than anything, I got out of the pocket and saw some green grass.” Linebacker Paddy Fisher, the nation’s active leader in tackles coming into the game, drilled Nix for no gain on fourth-and-1 on the second play of the fourth quarter. Cam Porter had seven carries on the ensuing drive, including a 1-yard plunge into the end zone that put Northwestern ahead 28-13. Porter rushed for 98 yards on 33 carries, and the Wildcats off ense fi nished with 457 yards and 25 fi rst downs. The Tigers failed to convert 10 of their fi rst 11 third downs, were unsuccessful on their fi rst two fourth-down tries and mustered 361 yards and 18 fi rst downs. For the game, the Tigers were 2 of 13 on third downs. Ramsey put Northwestern ahead 14-0 on fi rst-quarter TD passes of 35 yards to Chiaokhiao-Brown and 6 yards to Raine. His fi nal touchdown pass, to Lees, put the Wildcats ahead 35-13 midway through the fourth quarter. “We stumbled in a couple of games, but we wouldn’t be where we’re at today without Peyton Ramsey,” Fitzgerald said. “Great leader, great teammate and you can tell that he is from a coaching family. And he’s just so unfl appable.” Both teams were without major contributors because of COVID-19 protocols, injuries and opt-outs. Auburn running back Tank Bigsby didn’t make the trip for medical reasons, and top wideout Anthony Schwartz and defensive back Roger McCreary opted out to prepare for the NFL draft. Bryan Harsin, hired out of Boise State to replace Auburn’s Gus Malzahn, was on the fi eld before kickoff and watched the game from a suite.

“We stumbled in a couple of games, but we wouldn’t be where we’re at today without Peyton Ramsey,” Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said of the Citrus Bowl MVP. JOHN RAOUX,/AP

College football bowl games, completed before the national championship game between Ohio State and Alabama, featured numerous athletes representing the 513 and 859 area codes who prospered. Channel-ﬂ ipping at home, a TriState football fan could easily have spotted 10 or more local prep stars on days where multiple bowl games were on display. Here's a rundown of some of the names you may be familiar with from their high school days.

Citrus Bowl: Northwestern 35, Auburn 19

Peach Bowl: Georgia 24, Cincinnati 21 A heartbreaking loss it was in the ﬁ nal seconds, but several locals shined as UC did turn some heads on a national stage. La Salle's Josh Whyle had three catches for 38 yards and an amazing touchdown catch for the Bearcats to give them a 14-10 halftime lead. UC's defense held Georgia to their second-lowest point total of the year (they lost to Alabama 41-24, Oct. 17 and defeated Kentucky Oct. 31, 14-3). Colerain's Darrian Beavers had eight tackles, a sack and a tackle for loss, while La Salle's Jarell White had three tackles, a sack and a tackle for loss. As previously documented, the Bearcats have emphasized getting top locals in recruiting.

The Cincinnati Bearcats celebrate a touchdown catch by tight end Josh Whyle (81) in the second quarter of the Chick-ﬁ l-a Peach Bowl at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Jan. 1. The Bearcats led 14-10 at halftime. SAM GREENE/THE ENQUIRER

Duke's Mayo Bowl: Wisconsin 42, Wake Forest 28 Former St. Xavier quarterback Chase Wolf got into the game and was 2-for-3 passing for 14 yards and had a pair of carries for 12 yards. Most importantly, unlike starter Graham Mertz, he did not drop and break the game trophy.

The Cardinals jumped out to a 27-0 lead on previously unbeaten and undefeated San Jose State who was ranked No. 22. Former Loveland quarterback Drew Plitt was 12-for 19 passing for 217 yards and a touchdown and also ran for a touchdown.

The Wildcats proved worthy of their ranking with a 35-19 win over the Tigers. Former Elder quarterback Peyton Ramsey was named the game's MVP by going 24-for-35 passing for 291 yards and three scores while running for 50 yards and another. La Salle's Cam Porter was also highly productive with 33 carries for 98 yards and a touchdown and three receptions for 27 yards. Northwestern's roster also includes Loveland's Jake Saunders, Wyoming's Andrew Marty, St. Xavier's Marshall Lang and Milford's Connor Foster. Ramsey just transferred from Indiana this season with Wildcat fans hoping for his return since the NCAA has declared an extra year of eligibility for those that played during 2020. The Hoosiers lost their Outback Bowl game to Ole Miss 26-20.

The latest milestone for FC Cincinnati‘s West End stadium is the one that’s arguably the most important. Certainly, it’s going to get the most airtime on TV during matches. The club recently announced the completion of the installation of the grass pitch, which features ﬁ rst-of-itskind technological advancements for Major League Soccer. The pitch, which measures 115 yards in length and 75 yards in width, was constructed using a hybrid surface comprised of natural rye grass and synthetic turf. It’s the same surface FC Cincinnati uses for the grass surfaces at the Mercy Health Training Center in Milford and is mowed like any other variety of grass. The pitch also features a management system developed by the locally owned Motz Group. The system, billed by the club as one-of-a-kind, manages moisture and heat levels with pinpoint accuracy near the roosts via a watertight liner and a vacuum drainage system that wraps around the entire surface and allows for better growing conditions. The hybrid surface combined with the technology that will allow stadium personnel to tailor its grass-growing to the demands of Cincinnati’s climate will produce a championship-level and aesthetically pleasing surface, said Dan Lolli, FC Cincinnati’s Vice President of Cacilities and Stadium general Manager. “Finished installation in the past week and now we’re getting into more of the grass maintenance side of the process,” Lolli said. “This has been a long process. Months and months in the making before the holidays.” Lolli said the grass was ﬁ rst harvested from the Motz Group in Brookville, Indiana, in mid-December. On Jan. 6, the stadium’s grass surface was lined with “grow lights” – wheeled

devices that can be moved around the fi eld and replicate the eff ects of sunlight on the surface. The grow lights will remain at the West End stadium because the venue’s roof structure isn’t conducive to growing. Up to one-third of the fi eld will be under constant shade, but the grow lights will rotate at least every other day. Sensors will point groundskeepers to the areas of the fi eld where lights might be most-needed on a given day. The seven lighting units, shipped

from the Netherlands by SGL Systems, can cover up to half of the fi eld. The lights are a common sight at high-level venues around the world. As far as where the grass installation fi ts into the work that remains at the West End stadium, Lolli said, “we’re very far along.” “When the sod goes down, everything kind of feels real,” Lolli said. “You walk out here. You see grass and you’re ready for soccer at this point. As you can look around, you can see that the seat installation is approximately 95% complete ... We’re hitting the homestretch and we’re excited to be fi nishing up here pretty soon.” Lolli said the stadium will be ready for March, when MLS typically begins its regular season. In 2021, labor negotiations between MLS and the MLS Players Association, along with pandemic considerations, could push back the regular-season start date.

The Buckeyes remained undefeated in their seventh game and handed Clemson their second loss of the season to put them at 10-2. On the Clemson off ensive line is Fairfi eld's Jackson Carman and St. Xavier's Matt Bockhorst. In the game, former Winton Woods running back Miyan Williams got some carries in relief of workhorse Trey Sermon and fi nished with 21 yards. Former St. Xavier linebacker Justin Hilliard had a busy day with eight tackles, a fumble recovery and a tackle for loss. La Salle's Drue Chrisman had four punts for 189 yards, with a long of 67. True freshman Paris Johnson Jr. of Princeton saw snaps on the off ensive line in the Sugar Bowl. Also on the roster for the Buckeyes as they face Alabama in the title game Jan. 11 are: Summit Country Day's Xavier Johnson, La Salle's Jake Seibert, CHCA's Danny Vanatsky, Moeller's Jake Hausmann, Elder's Joe Royer and Jakob James, Princeton's Darrion Henry-Young, Mason's Zade Hamden, Mount Healthy's Trayvon Wilburn, Loveland's Ryan Batsch and Jerron Cage of Winton Woods. The College Football National Championship is Monday night, Jan. 11 at 8 p.m. from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida on ESPN.

Obituaries Richard W. Schneider CINCINNATI - Richard Walter Schneider (Dick) went home on January 2, 2021. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Shirley (Bird) Schneider and their children Barbara (Scott) Carter, Lynda Butler, and Steven (Chris) Schneider. Richard was extremely proud of his seven grandchildren, Sarah (Brent) Harris, Samuel Butler, Elisabeth Carter, Anna Schneider, Thomas Butler, Daniel Carter, and Rachel Butler. He was blessed with two great-grandchildren, Harvey and Jace Harris, before his passing. He is preceeded in death by his beloved parents, Martha and Walter Schneider. A Western Hills High School graduate, Richard was proud of his service in the US Navy. After receiving his degree from the University of Cincinnati, where he was a member of Phi Delta Theta, he worked in Personnel and Human Resources. Richard worked at a number of organizations, including Chemed and Formica. Richard eventually started his own consulting business, which continued until just a few years before his passing. Richard was an extrovert and always the life of the party. Friends will recall Richard as a leader and strong supporter of his Western Hill’s High School class of 1953, having led reunion efforts for decades. He also served on the committee to refurbish Westwood Elementary School, where he met many of his lifelong friends. Richard’s favorite past time was spending time in his large garden on South Road in Western Hills, and later, spending time with his grandchildren. Richard was born and raised in Western Hills and proud of it! A celebration of Richard’s life will take place at a later date due to Covid-19 restrictions. Spring Grove is assisting with arrangements. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to Richard’s chosen charities: St. Joseph Orphanage in Cincinnati (www.stjosephorphanage.com), and/or Boys Town (www.boystown.org).

Try your hand at making crepes A ﬁ nished crepe.

Master crepe recipe The ﬁ rst couple of crepes usually don’t turn out; after that it's easy sailing. Ingredients 11⁄ 2 cups milk 1 large egg, room temperature 1 teaspoon vegetable oil 1 cup all-purpose flour ⁄ 4 teaspoon baking powder

Soft butter for pan Instructions Whisk milk and egg together.

A savory chicken crepe. PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

My girls/chickens have really slacked oﬀ laying. The only one producing is Granny, our white leghorn. And she’s the oldest and scrawniest! So I decided

to make crepes with the few eggs I have. Think crepes are hard to make? The answer is no. Yes, they sound fancy but these thin pancakes can be easily made in an omelet pan. Crepes can be ﬁ lled with jam, whipped cream, soft scrambled eggs – just about anything. Maybe you’d like to try your hand at making crepes. Here’s a good recipe to start with

along with two ﬁ llings: savory and sweet. The chocolate ﬁ lled crepes bring memories of grandsons Luke, Will and Jack ordering them for lunch at a sidewalk cafe in Paris several years ago. Just goes to show that a food we think of as gourmet has practical roots – back in 13th century France, a cook accidentally dribbled a bit of egg batter onto a hot griddle. Crepes were born!

frequently.

About 1 pound favorite seafood, cut into small pieces if necessary (shrimp and crab are good) or about 1 pound chicken breast, diced very small

Generous 1⁄ 2 cup Parmesan cheese or to taste, plus more for garnishing

Add seafood or chicken and return to a gentle boil, cooking just until seafood or chicken is cooked.

3 to 4 tablespoons butter

Instructions

2 teaspoons seasoning mix: favorite seafood/Cajun seasoning or favorite chicken seasoning

Melt butter over medium heat in pan and add shallots. Cook until tender but not brown. Add seasoning mix and flour, stirring until flour is completely mixed in with butter.

2 to 3 teaspoons flour

Stir in cream and bring to boil, stirring

⁄ 3 cup shallots or onion, diced ﬁ ne

Turn burner to medium. Brush an 8”-10” omelet pan (a skillet with sloping sides) with butter. When it sizzles, pour 1⁄ 4cup batter into pan slowly but steady and twirl the pan until it is covered with crepe mixture on bottom.

Flip over until golden brown on other side, about 1⁄ 2 minute.

Ingredients

Parsley for garnish (optional)

Use batter right away, or put in refrigerator, covered, up to an hour or so.

Cook until splotchy brown on bottom, about 1⁄ 2 to 1 minute.

Creamy chicken or seafood stuffed crepes ⁄ 3 cup whipping cream

Whisk in oil, flour and baking powder, until mixture is smooth.

Remove from heat and stir in cheese. Place a crepe on plate and fi ll, then roll crepe around fi lling, placing seam side down. Put a little extra fi lling on top and sprinkle with cheese and parsley. Yield: 4-6 crepes.

Every 2-3 crepes, butter pan again. Yield: 8-12 crepes. Tip: Make ahead and refrigerate several days, sandwiching between waxed paper, or freeze up to a month.

Crepes with chocolate morsels Just melt morsels and smear on crepe. Fold in half, then in fourths.

Ezzard Charles statue to be dedicated in October Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

An independent family foundation has donated the last $200,000 needed to ﬁ nish the Ezzard Charles statue at Laurel Park in Cincinnati’s West End. The money from the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr. Foundation will allow the 13-foot-tall statue of the former World Heavyweight Champion to be dedicated at the third annual Ezz Fest at the park along Ezzard Charles Drive on Oct. 9. That’s according to a news release from the Cincinnati Parks Foundation, which has said the project is expected to cost $275,000, including materials, bronze casting, artist fees, construction of a new plaza and maintenance. The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr. Foundation, based in Mount Auburn, is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for residents through arts and culture, community development, education and human services.

“The Cincinnati Parks Foundation appreciates the project’s many donors, and we are so thankful for the Haile Foundation’s …support, which has brought us to our fundraising goal,” parks foundation Executive Director Jennifer Hafner Spieser said in the news release. Ezzard Charles, known as the Cincinnati Cobra, was a professional boxer and World Heavyweight Champion from 1949 to 1951. The entrepreneur and musician lived in the West End at the height of his boxing career. “(The Ezzard Charles statue) project will have a major, positive impact not only on Laurel Park, but will stand as a source of pride for the surrounding West End community, where Ezzard Charles lived,” Cincinnati Parks Director Kara Kish said in the news release. “There is zero doubt we would not be where we are today without our partners at the Cincinnati Parks Foundation who have driven this eﬀ ort for years, as well as the generosity of each individual donor.”

COMMUNITY NEWS Cincinnati Library receives national award for tech upgrade The Urban Libraries Council (ULC) announced the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library (CHPL) as an Innovations Initiative Honorable Mention award winner during the 2020 ULC Innovations Celebration held virtually Dec. 11. The annual Innovations award program recognizes and raises the visibility of cutting-edge programs, strategies, tools, techniques, and ideas from ULC’s member library systems across the U.S. and Canada. CHPL was selected by a panel of expert judges from 260 submissions in 10 categories that showcase creative thinking and imaginative applications of library resources. CHPL won for Expanded Access to Technology: Courtyard Upgrade in the category of Customer Experience, with award winners being recognized for their level of ingenuity, the outcomes achieved, and the ability for other libraries to adapt and implement their work. All 2020 ULC Innovations entries can be viewed at urbanlibraries.org. “This year’s winners have quickly taken bold moves to ensure that the library continues to serve the needs of the people in their community – especially those most vulnerable including children, stressed families, isolated seniors, and struggling small businesses,” said Urban Libraries Council President and CEO Susan Benton. “In the 10th year of our Innovations Initiative, we received the most dynamic and cutting-edge submissions to date. We celebrate the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library for creating an initiative that will positively impact their community and serve as a model to public libraries throughout North America.” Earlier this year, FC Cincinnati Foundation (FCCF) donated funds to help the library renovate the walled-in outdoor area just oﬀ the adult space at the West End Branch. The courtyard is open and accessible with space for individuals and families to enjoy. Funding from the FCCF underwrote new technology solutions

for customer use in the courtyard and throughout the branch. Now a laptop cart enables customers to check out a laptop for a 60-minute computer session. “This award is very signiﬁ cant to us, especially receiving it during a year when we’ve been challenged with providing services during a pandemic. We are so grateful to the FC Cincinnati Foundation in partnering with us to upgrade access to technology at a critical time for our West End customers,” said Paula Brehm-Heeger, the Eva Jane Romaine Coombe Director of the Library.

Virtual ringin’ in an Appalachian New Year Are you ready for a new year? Although 2020 presented its many challenges, The Urban Appalachian Community has a lot to celebrate as we enter 2021. Join the Urban Appalachian Community Coalition for our ﬁ rst-ever VIRTUAL “Ringin’ In an Appalachian New Year” event on Sunday, Jan. 17 from 1-3 p.m. via Zoom. While we will miss the opportunity

to gather face-to-face, sharing food and swapping stories, we are working together to make the virtual celebration as warm and down home as we can. Enjoy a variety of entertainment and activities throughout our virtual event. Participants can expect bluegrass and old-time music performances from local musicians and vibrant storytelling from our event emcee, Omope Carter Daboiku, on our “main stage” while also enjoying the option of entering a “breakout room” where folks can swap recipes, create a Word Quilt, and/or share a story or poem. Music - Russ Childers (host) Lucky for us, many of our bands are family bands, which means they can stay safe in their homes and still perform for us in ours. Our virtual Ringin’ In an Appalachian New Year will include old-time & bluegrass music by: h Russ & Barb Childers h Pineridge Partners h Roscoe Morgan h Intergenerational Fiddle Cult h Carter Bridge Duo h Tellico Family Band Open Mic of Poetry, Stories & Music - Sherry Cook Stanforth (host) Anybody who wants to share can join the Open Mic breakout room and

share a short set (four minutes or less). Recipe Swap - Jeﬀ Dey (host) We couldn’t ﬁ gure out how to do a potluck online, but how about a recipe swap? Share your favorite potluck or other recipe, and we’ll share these virtually during the program in a Zoom breakout room where we can show the recipes and tell the stories behind them. Cooking demonstrations are most welcome during this time. Eating demonstrations too. My Appalachian Memory: A Word Quilt - Barb Childers (host) Barb Childers is still leading our annual Appalachian Memories: A Word Quilt activity. You can share your story in advance or type into the Zoom Chat (we’ll tell you how to use Chat). We’ll all get to hear Omope share some of these stories during the event. The “Smoking”/Hangout Room Nancy Laird (host) Since we can’t sit around the tables and talk, we’ll have yet another breakout rooms for gabbing. We’re calling it “The Smoking Room,” but we promise it will be smoke-free. Erinn Sweet, The Urban Appalachian Community Coalition
