Century-old Tradition Coming To An End Junior newspaper carriers, having served the Tristate for decades, are being retired

Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

We’re losing another piece of “the good old days,” as junior carriers stop delivering weekly newspapers in the suburbs. This newspaper has been using junior carriers since at least the 1870s, but more likely since its launch in 1841. During that time, young people delivering newspapers has become a touchstone of the American experience. May will be the last month The Enquirer and its network of Community Press and Recorder newspapers will use junior carriers, also known as paper boys and paper girls in Ohio. The Kentucky carriers will deliver their last papers in June. Some East Side carriers have already made their last rounds.

After being closed for nearly two months due to the new coronavirus pandemic, Ohio barbershops and salons will fi nally get to reopen their doors starting May 15, according to Governor Mike DeWine’s plan. With less than a week to prepare, owners are scrambling to fi gure out what the new normal looks like for clients and stylists. Many shops are changing the way services are provided and limiting the number of people allowed in the building at one time. DeWine created an advisory group of personal service professionals to advise him on the best practices for reopening dine-in locations, hair salons, restaurants and other personal services. Debbie Penzone, who helped lead the salon reopening task force, said many changes coming will aff ect customers. Some salons may have clients wait in their cars or wear masks before entering the building, she said during the press conference. Prior to the pandemic, Glamour Braid Salon in Westwood allowed people to walk-in for services. The salon is only accepting scheduled appointments now and requiring all clients to wear masks, said owner Alethia Williams. “If you don’t have a mask, we will have some available for purchase here in the salon,” Williams said. “We’ll be able to see each other and I can keep you safe while you come in. We’ll also have thermometers to check the temperatures of the clients to make sure we are all safe.” These changes are happening across the Tri-State. Owners and stylists at Studio 900, located in downtown Cincinnati, are trying to fi nd ways to please every client while also maintaining safety precautions. The salon is ordering hand sanitizer, disinfectant, plastic capes, and face shields for stylists. Stylist Kayla Kroomer said the saSee REOPEN, Page 3A

He started with one route, about 12 houses, but then picked up an extra route. “I’m really sad about losing my customers, all the people,” he said. He recalled an older couple would wave at him through the window every time he dropped oﬀ a paper. His father, Dave Bergan, said it has

For an eight-yearold to say they wanted a job, this is all we could ﬁ nd,” Bergan said. “This was just his ﬁ rst regular job and responsibility where he was serving his customers. That’s just a hard skill to replicate in other ways at young ages.”

wants to launch a dog walking business as soon as COVID-19 restrictions lift enough to allow it. And what does someone like Ben, who demanded work and paycheck at 8 and suﬀ ered through downsizing at 10, want to do when it grows up? He said he wasn’t sure, but had a top three: animator, a YouTuber who does animation or maybe a job that involves working with animals.

Family ties The Price Hill Press will be one of the last Ohio publications to make the switch. Junior carriers for that paper will make their last delivery on May 27. Griffi n Kelley, 18, will be throwing papers on that last day on a route that has been passed down to him from his four older brothers. “I was tagging along walking the route with them when I was 6 years old. I was just having fun, along for the ride. I’ve had multiple customers tell us how amazing it’s been to watch all of us boys grow up,” Griffi n said. “We were able to build these relationships with people in our neighborhood that we wouldn’t have really got to know without this paper route.” Griffi n is set to graduate from Elder this year and will then head to Ohio State University, just like his older brothers. They have all caddied at Western Hill Country Club and been lifeguards at the Gamble-Nippert YMCA. Duncan Kelley is a senior at OSU graduating with a degree in sports industry. He said: “It’s just never really been an option about whether we would work or not, it’s about where we would work and pretty often how many jobs we would work.” The teens’ father, Deron Kelley, called throwing papers a rite of passage and credits it with helping build his sons’ work ethic. He too was a paper carrier when he was in high school in the early 1980s, though he delivered a much bigger, daily route from a van. Now Griffi n delivers weekly to about 65 houses. Half of what he collects goes to the newspaper, he keeps the other

half plus any tips he receives. He said he makes about $120 a month and the job takes one to two hours a week. The papers are dropped off to his home on Tuesday nights. He folds them individually that night, then delivers them after school on Wednesdays. “We still had plenty of time to have a good high school social life, have other jobs, get our homework done,” Griffi n said. “It didn’t take too much time and it was still a great job to have.” The Kelley family is extremely disappointed that the program is coming to an end. Paxton Kelley is a junior at Ohio State. He started helping his brother’s deliver the papers when he was about 9. “In my head, tossing papers is a very traditional kids fi rst job. I think the safety concern, I guess it’s valid, but I never felt unsafe on my route,” he said. “It’s just disappointing that the opportunity for kids to come is just not going to be there anymore.” Paxton said the job was a unique preparation for the working world. “A 9- or 10-year-old getting $80 a month, I didn’t know what to do with it. You just start to learn how to save money and you start to learn what money really

is,” he said. “The whole time you’re speaking to adults, and that’s something most 9- or 10-year-olds avoid doing it.” “Our customers will invite us into their houses to keep us warm while they are going to get there money. They’ll give us water on hot days,” Griffi n added. The youngest Kelley said an ex-Marine had a choice words when learned the news. “When I informed him that the kids were being ‘kicked out’ of this paper route, he informed me that he was going to try to kick them out. He is not responding lightly to all this,” Griffi n said. The Kelleys also worry for their older customers. While they make sure the paper ends up at the doorstep, the don’t trust adults in cars to do the same thing. “A lot of our customers are too old to be walking to the bottom of their driveway to get their paper,” Griffi n said.

A look back References to The Enquirer using “newsboys” can be found dating back to at least 1845, just four years after the paper was founded. In those early days, there were several daily newspapers in Cincinnati. Hundreds of newsboys

worked in the city. After the second World War and the huge expansion of public education and suburbia, the job of paper boy or girl took on the look many envision today – the young person tossing papers over the handlebars of their bike. That continued into the 1990s, the decades that brought us the internet, a technology that proved to be monumentally disruptive to the newspaper industry. The Associated Press reported in 2006 that in 1994, more than half of newspaper carriers were under 18. Twelve years later, 81 percent were adults in cars. The demise of afternoon papers, a shift to centralized distribution and earlier delivery deadlines were cited as reasons for the shift. The Enquirer’s parent company, Gannett, operates hundreds of newspapers in 47 states and Guam. Most phased out the use of junior carriers years ago. The Community Press and Recorders are among the last in Gannett to shift to an adult carrier program, consistent with industry best practices, according to Enquirer Executive Editor Beryl Love. Before the program began winding down this spring, there were 1,568 youth carriers delivering to 60,120 homes in region. It’s not a fi nancial decision. Love noted that it will cost more to hire adult carriers than to continue paying young people to do the job. “Ending the youth carrier program was an extremely diffi cult decision to make. The paper boy or paper girl is an iconic part of our history and it’s sad to see that tradition going away,” Love said. “That said, in this day and age, the safety concerns are signifi cant, and many families are uncomfortable with the idea of sending children out door-to-door.”

lon is also considering whether they need to wear scrubs or gowns during each shift. “We are trying to get ahead of the game,” Kroomer told The Enquirer Thursday. “We’ve also heard that some states are thinking about not letting stylists blow-dry clients’ hair because of airborne particles. We hope it doesn’t come down to that. Clients come in for a nice service and shouldn’t have to leave with wet hair.” Marc Ambrosius, a makeup artist and stylist at Studio 900, said the salon

may book 30-minute intervals between clients to clean the area. He said the stylists have been getting lots of text messages as to when they’ll reopen. Darius Godfrey, a barber at Brilliant Blendz in Pleasant Ridge, said the shop is not accepting walk-in clients and is requesting that all appointments be scheduled online. His team is also setting up a pager system so clients can wait in the car until it’s their turn. “We want to make sure we keep everyone healthy and will require clients to wear masks,” Godfrey said. “We’ll also be wearing protective gear. As a barber, it’s going to be hard to perform my services while they have a mask on because we normally have to groom the face.”

Ginger beer.

HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Ginger beer can be made in less than a day Whether you’re working at home in a spare bedroom, a corner of the family room or in a real home offi ce, or even if you don’t usually work outside the home, one thing’s for certain. Most of us are doing more cooking than we ever thought possible. And being adventurous, yet frugal, in the process. I’m guessing that’s why you perked up when I mentioned ginger beer recently. Now don’t get excited – it’s not a real beer, since it contains no grain. But because ginger beer uses yeast in the quick fermenting process, we call it a “beer.” Ginger beer, made with ginger root, is naturally fi zzy with a sweet and spicy bite. The fi rst time I enjoyed it was at friend Triset De Fonseka’s Sri Lankan restaurant, Aralia. That was a long while back. I just assumed it was hard to make, but it isn’t. Ginger beer can be made in less than a day. The original recipe called for wine/champagne yeast, but I used regular bread yeast. It worked fi ne. If I can score some wine yeast, I’ll make a batch and let you know. I’m thinking the wine yeast will have a more refi ned fl avor. Oh, and one more thing. If you don’t have molasses, sub in honey or maple syrup.

Ginger Beer

fermentation. Sprinkle yeast on top of liquid.

I used 1-1/2 cups sugar, since as it ferments, it becomes less sweet. Ingredients: 8 oz. fresh ginger or frozen root, thawed, peeled a bit and coarsely chopped 7-8 cups water 1 to 1-1/2 cups sugar

Cover with lid. Position it so a tiny bit of air can come in. (Original recipe said to seal tight, but I was afraid of jar bursting.) Let ferment/sit at room temperature for 12 hours or so. Mine sat a full 24. The longer it ferments, the more “beery/yeasty” it tastes. After fermenting, pour into bottles, leaving air space at the top, seal and store in refrigerator. I don’t seal mine real tight.

1 tablespoon molasses, honey or maple syrup 1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice or more to taste

Drink within 1 week.

1/4 teaspoon wine or regular bread yeast (active dry yeast)

Can be used as a base for cocktails. Freeze ginger:

1 container with enough space for fermentation, covered

Up to 6 months.

Instructions:

Grow your own ginger:

In a blender, pulse ginger with 1 quart water until roughly puréed.

Check out my abouteating.com site.

Combine ginger-water, 3 to 4 more cups water, sugar and molasses in pot over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves.

Alcohol content: About 0.5%. FDA classiﬁ es it as non-alcoholic. Ginger beer contains probiotics — good for your gut!

Add lemon juice and taste.

Fermentation tip:

Remove from heat and let cool to slightly warmer than room temperature.

Not sure if fermentation is happening? At any time during the process, give the beer a stir or shake (you can do this when you ﬁ rst add the yeast, too).

Line a funnel with coffee ﬁ lters (3) or double cheesecloth to strain liquid into container. Press on solids. I used a big glass jar. A big plastic soda bottle works, too. There should be 3” or so of space left on top for

You should see some action – bubbles forming and if you look close, tiny fermentation bubbles will be rising through the liquid.

Lawsuit: Primavista among businesses in ‘wide-scale’ denial of COVID-19 coverage Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The iconic restaurant Primavista is one of thousands of businesses that have been wrongfully denied coverage by their insurance company for losses related to the coronavirus pandemic, a lawsuit says. The lawsuit, fi led Friday, May 1 in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court, says the Cincinnati Insurance Co. “on a wide-scale and uniform basis” has refused to pay claims for businesses that have been forced to shut down due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Documents fi led with the lawsuit, which is seeking class-action status, ask a judge to order Cincinnati Insurance to stop sending letters to policyholders “misrepresenting” that coverage is limited to only $25,000. The documents call that limitation “false and misleading” and say it was made “to tamp down … claims and provide Cincinnati Insurance additional unlawful leverage in negotiating any claims settlements.” A spokeswoman for Cincinnati Insurance, a subsidiary of Fairfi eld-based Cincinnati Financial Corp., said the company respects “the rights of all parties to have their issues heard and resolved in a court of law.” She declined further comment, saying the company doesn’t comment on pending litigation. The lawsuit was fi led by Primavista’s owners, Joan and Frank Lenkerd. They bought a policy from Cincinnati Insurance in

2018 “to protect their business and their employees from disruptions exactly like what we’re all facing right now,” said Matthew Metzger of the Wolterman Law Ofﬁ ce, an attorney representing the restaurant. Metzger said the policy promises to pay for losses due to the suspension of operations and for expenses incurred to minimize the suspension. It does not limit coverage for loss from viruses or pandemics, he said. Like many restaurants, Primavista, which is in East Price Hill, was forced to shut down completely in midMarch, after Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine ordered business closures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Primavista has laid oﬀ its employees, and the lawsuit says its existence is threatened. On March 30, Primavista submitted a claim to Cincinnati Insurance for losses caused by the pandemic, court documents say. The next day, the insurance company issued a letter that according to the lawsuit makes numerous misrepresentations including the $25,000 coverage limit for business income and extra expenses. On April 22, Cincinnati Insurance denied the claim. “We had hoped that the money received from the business interruption claim with Cincinnati Insurance would help us with reopening expenses. Unfortunately, our claim was denied,” Joan Lenkerd said in a statement. “We hope to again serve many of our long-term friends and patrons as soon as it is safe to do so.”

Cincinnati bishop resigns leadership post over handling of priest later accused of rape Dan Horn and Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

One of the highest-ranking offi cials in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati resigned over how he handled complaints about the behavior of a priest who was later accused of raping an altar boy. Auxiliary Bishop Joseph R. Binzer, who had ranked below only Archbishop Dennis Schnurr in the archdiocese’s hierarchy, will leave his post and be assigned to another job as a priest, rather than as a bishop. Binzer had also served as priest personnel director, but Schnurr removed him from that role last year after he failed to bring past concerns about the Rev. Geoff rey Drew’s conduct to the attention of Archbishop Dennis Schnurr and the Drew priest personnel board. In a statement on May 7, Binzer apologized for his handling of the complaints about Drew and said he’d off ered his resignation to the Vatican in April, which was accepted by Pope Francis. “I am deeply sorry for my role in addressing the concerns raised about Father Drew, which has had a negative impact on the trust and faith of the people of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati,” Binzer said. “I believe this to be in the best interest of the archdiocese.” Offi cials of the archdiocese, which sprawls over 19 counties and includes 211 parishes, would not say whether Binzer’s resignation was the result of a Vatican investigation, which they have previously said they expected. Schnurr did not address the matter in the statement and archdiocese offi cials did not immediately return calls for comment. The archbishop said he has not determined what role Binzer would play in the archdiocese in the future. The archdiocese’s handling of Drew’s case has been in the spotlight since July, when church offi cials announced he was being removed from St. Ignatius of Loyola in Green Township after parents

complained the priest had sent text messages to a boy there.Soon after, however, church oﬃ cials disclosed that they had received complaints in 2013 and 2015 about Drew while he was pastor at St. Maximilian Kolbe in Liberty Township. Those complaints involved physical contact with boys, such as rubbing shoulders and patting knees. Prosecutors in Butler County and Hamilton County determined Drew’s behavior may not have been appropriate, but it did not rise to the level of a crime. Parishioners at St. Ignatius were outraged they had not been told of the prior complaints about Drew. Church oﬃ cials said Schnurr did not know about them because Binzer, who also served as the priest personnel director, had not told him about them. Schnurr removed Binzer of his personnel duties but kept him as auxiliary bishop. Weeks later, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters announced that a former altar boy had accused Drew of raping him on multiple occasions between 1988 and 1991 at St. Jude’s in Bridgetown. The boy, now 41, said he was 10 years old when the abuse began. Drew, who was not a priest at the time, led St. Jude’s music ministry at the time and also taught music at Elder High School. Drew has pleaded not guilty to the rape charges. He faces up to life in prison if he is convicted. The report contains excerpts from previous Enquirer articles.

Sports La Salle basketball assistant takes over at Springboro Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

La Salle basketball coach Brett Kostoff has landed a head-coaching position at the Division I level. Kostoff has been tapped as the next head basketball coach at Springboro, pending board approval. The school recently announced the move. Kostoff spent the last seven years as a varsity assistant at La Salle under Dan Fleming and current head coach Pat Goedde. “I think Brett’s got it. I think they (Springboro) have a diamond in the rough,” Goedde said. “This is great time for that school and I think Brett (Kostoff ) is gonna do an awesome job. I’m just so proud of him that he’s getting a big-time job. They have over 2,000 kids and I think he’ll do a great job there.” Kostoff has been the associate head

coach since Goedde was hired to replace Fleming prior to the 2017-18 season. In two years as the junior varsity head coach, Kostoff compiled a 35-7 record and won a Greater Catholic LeagueSouth championship. “His (Kostoff ’s) dream was to be a head coach,” Goedde said. “I’m happy it happened so soon at a Division I school.” Last season, La Salle was ranked one of the top teams in Ohio for Division I. The Lancers won their fi rst 10 games and fi nished 23-4 with a district championship. Goedde was named cocoach of the year in the GCL-South and southwest district and was recently selected as The Enquirer’s Division I boys basketball coach of the year. Goedde said that his plan is to be at La Salle for the next 15 years, so he tells his assistant coaches when they get to North Bend Road that they should gain

experience to try to advance their career as a head coach elsewhere. “I want you to get all of the information you can get, try to get better and try to fi nd a job. That’s the whole deal here,” Goedde said. Kostoff takes over at Springboro after Kyle Youker resigned earlier this month after three seasons on the job and a 3241 record. The Panthers made it to the district championship game in March, where they were blitzed by two-time defending state-champion Moeller. Springboro has gone just 16-30 combined against Greater Western Ohio Conference opponents over the past four seasons. The Panthers play in the national division, which includes defending Division II state-champion Trotwood-Madison, which has won 20plus games in each of the past fi ve seasons.

Bitter endings for several softball seniors and teams Scott Springer and Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

As the new coronavirus restrictions blew into Greater Cincinnati with the March wind, it's been well-documented that many seniors have been left with the empty feeling of spring sports seasons never taking place and canceled graduation ceremonies. While there are many stories to be told, here are several OHSAA softball superlative feats that never took place.

Taylor The Cincinnati Hills League has been run by Taylor in recent years as the Yellowjackets have won the last three conference titles outright. Taylor went a perfect 14-0 against CHL foes in each of those three seasons, so they'll take a 42-game conference win streak into the 2021 campaign. In 2019, Taylor outscored opponents 338-32 en route to a 24-4 record and a district championship game appearance. Taylor would've returned the CHL's top three hitters in seniors Ashley Bucher and Brooklyn Linneman and sophomore Sophia Thoma. Thoma led the league in hitting as a freshman last season with a .554 batting average with Bucher right behind her at .533. Linneman ﬁ nished at a .518 clip while leading the conference in home runs (8) and RBI (50). Senior Sophia Reagan was also coming back after a junior season that saw her hit

.478 with 27 knocked in and 13 doubles. Fellow freshman phenom Kylie Burdick hit .463 with seven long balls in 2019. Burdick was 6-0 in the circle with a 1.14 earned run average and a perfect game. Linneman, the reigning CHL Athlete of the Year, was the club's primary pitcher who ﬁ nished 18-4 with a 0.55 ERA while averaging nearly two strikeouts per inning (225 in 113 IP).

Milford There have been rumblings that summer club team softball could start in June, but that doesn’t ease the pain the Milford Eagles have of missing what may have been a promising season. Milford has won fi ve of the last seven Eastern Cincinnati Conference titles and would have given defending champ West Clermont a run for it 2020 (the two teams split last season) after a 19-7 (12-2) 2019 run. Lily Copp (.340) and Hillary Huff er (2.28 ERA) were coach Christy Gregory’s departing seniors. “I was hoping to be the one to tell my players but (Governor) DeWine made the announcement instead of OHSAA,” Gregory said of the spring stoppage. The upside for Milford is that much talent returns. Olivia Craycraft led the ECC in hitting as a sophomore in 2019 at .557. Sam Boothby is an NKU commit who hit .486 and was 14-3 pitching in 2019 as a sophomore. Classmate Emily Allphin batted .452 with fi ve homers and 41 RBI. Taylor Stemmerding, Brooklyn Stewart and Kaitlyn Bibb were all poised for big years as sophomores.

Craycraft should be a name to watch as she led the league in hitting, hits, triples, on-base percentage and steals in 2019 in addition to being second in her class with a 4.65 GPA. The family athletic DNA is also solid as sister Margaret was a diver at Princeton, brother Graham ran cross country and track at Bellarmine and brother Harris runs cross country and track for a Boston College club team. “She’s a natural outﬁ elder but we needed her as a shortstop,” Gregory said. “You would never ever know she’s not a true shortstop. She’s very athletic and very dedicated and just wants to be the best at anything she does.

No shot at redemption for Lakota East Perhaps no team was itching to get back on the fi eld than Lakota East, which played in last year's Division I state championship, the last offi cial OHSAA-sanctioned softball game to date. The Thunderhawks were three outs away from a state championship, but ultimately fell to Louisville in a grueling two-day aff air in Akron last June. Lakota East was returning a slew of contributors from last year's 30-win club, including eight juniors who were penciled into the state championship game lineup. Lead-off hitter and third baseman Cassidy Hudson led the squad last year See SOFTBALL, Page 2B

FC Cincinnati announces club seat prices Sharon Coolidge

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

FC Cincinnati hasn't said yet what it plans to do about tickets purchased for games not played this year, but has begun selling club level season tickets for next year in the team's new stadium. Stadium construction is on track for the March 2021 opening, even if play has stopped in amid the coronavirus pandemic. The seats on sale are for club seats which range in price from $1,000 for the season to $10,000 a season in the Tunnel Club, which the team likens to NBA courtside seats. Options include four distinct club areas. Club season seats – roughly 4,500 seats – start at $1,000, $100 more than the most expensive non-club seating option. The rumored beer hall was confi rmed Monday and will be part of the club level experience. Ticket seekers can look at options at WestEndStadium.com The team previously announced 2021 season membership seating will range from $340 in The Bailey to $900 for mezzanine midfi eld seats. “This is certainly a unique time, but as we begin to see our communities opening back up and taking gradual steps toward returning to normal, we’re excited to launch the public on-sale process at West End Stadium," FC Cincinnati President Jeff Berding said in a statement. FC Cincinnati team offi cials have not said what will happen with tickets purchased for games not played, a main question on fans' minds. When released, the policy will allow for automatic rollover of payments into buyers’ 2021 accounts, plus a 10% appreciation credit. The Cincinnati Reds, whose league has also halted play, announced on April 25 the team would off er refunds to fans who bought tickets to games scheduled in March, April and May because of the season's indefi nite postponement.

Taxpayers covered the cost of the roughly $33 million infrastructure, including street re-confi gurations and parking. It will seat 26,000 people, with the closest seats within 15 feet of the fi eld. The design includes 53 traditional suites and 4,500 premium seats in four premium club spaces.

last oﬃ cial game Mason played. Sydney Carter was GMC Player of the Year as a sophomore, hitting.576 with 40 RBI. Seniors this season, Tori O’Brien (Ohio University) was coming oﬀ a .511 season with 21 steals, while Carsyn Snead hit .500 in 2019. Sophomore Val Allen would have returned after a .384 freshman season.

in batting average (.523), hits (58), doubles (12), home runs (4) and stolen bases (16). Middle infi elders Hailey Holtman and Abby Beckham each hit over .430 with Beckham owning 41 hits and 35 RBI while Holtman knocked in 23 with 18 extra-base knocks. Jess Church was the team's starting right fi elder and Emily French knocked in a dozen, going 12for-22 at the plate. Outfi elder Madison Cureton and fi rst baseman Ali Lewis each hit just under .400 with 23 RBI in 2019. Center fi elder Kylee West hit .360 with a club-best six triples and swiped 15 bases. Catcher and cleanup hitter Abby Niehaus was also coming back. She hit .473 and knocked in 42. Lakota East was vying to become Greater Cincinnati’s fi rst-ever Division I state softball champion since the OHSAA switched to a divisional format in 1990. Cincinnati had sent a Division I team to the state tournament in 23 of the last 24 years, but they have combined to go 0-8 in state fi nals. Now, there's no telling if 2020 would've been the year that streak was snapped.

Anderson softball was primed for big year Ellie Caldwell, a three-year starter for Anderson, will narrowly miss out on breaking the school's all-time career hits record. The shortstop and catcher hit .500 as a junior in 2019 and was a fi rst-team Eastern Cincinnati Conference selection. Caldwell, who is considering a walk-on opportunity at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, fi nished just three hits away from the school record. She was also one of a half-dozen, seniors returning, a group that was hoping to deliver an ECC championship. Last season, the Redskins fi nished fourth. In 2018, a loss to Loveland in the regular-season fi nale kept them from winning a share of the league crown. "It's extremely disappointing, especially since we had six returning seniors, and most of us had been playing together since we were in fi fth grade," Caldwell said. "This year we had a strong shot at the ECC title. I thought this could've been our year." Caldwell, Tori Madden, Ali Madden and Stella Wulker were all vying to set new school records in hits, home runs, RBI, doubles, triples and batting aver-

It will have all-inclusive hospitality off erings, including a chef-driven menu and topshelf alcohols. There's also a direct viewing area to the FC Cincinnati postmatch press conference from the club. FC Cincinnati will begin collecting $100 season ticket deposits on Tuesday. That money goes toward the ticket package, but FC Cincinnati will donate $25 of each deposit to the COVID-19 Regional Relief Fund.

age. Ali Madden and Wulker split pitching duties last season, combining for 17 wins and a 2.49 earned-run average. All four play on the OFC Heat in the summer and are hoping to get one last chance to suit up together. The summer season has not been cancelled yet, providing some hope. "We're just trying to stay positive," Caldwell said. Anderson did get in a friendly scrimmage with Turpin on March 13 before spring sports were shut down. "It wasn't about the result but about playing softball against our neighborhood rival and friends, one more time," Anderson head coach Dick Purtell told The Enquirer's Scott Springer.

Williamsburg Rick Healey’s Lady Wildcats brought most of the town with them to Akron in 2017 when they won the Division IV state title. Winners of the last six SBAAC-National titles, Williamsburg may have been on the verge of another title team in Healey’s eyes. Instead, seniors Kara Bailey, Hailey Speeg and Jacee Rohne, starters on the state title team as freshmen, miss out on their ﬁ nal swings along with senior Lexi Lindsey. Healey has tried to keep the team’s spirits up via social media but has kept the stoppages in perspective. He’s also preparing a video for the squad. “You’ve traveled a rough road and

there’s a ton to hold your head up for,” Healey has told the team. “Hopefully you look back at this and say, ‘What could’ve been?’ or maybe in some of their eyes, ‘What should’ve been?’” Kara Bailey was coming oﬀ of a seven homer 65 RBI 2019 and was First Team SBAAC with Speeg. Healey was Coach of the Year and junior Madi Ogden who overcame tremendous odds to have a varsity career was Player of the Year. Ogden hit an eye-opening .700 in 2019 with 15 home runs and 85 RBI. She also pitched 24 victories and struck out 171 in 139.2 innings. She’s had recent interest from Morehead State and had hoped for more looks in a junior year that never happened. “Sometimes you’re dealt really good hands in life and sometimes you’re dealt really crappy hands,” Healey said. “It makes you better or bitter. It’s how you deal with that hand. I sincerely hope this group of kids graduating are better from it and not bitter from it.” The silver lining for Williamsburg is the return of Ogden, Paige Fisher (.521), J.J. Thatcher (.446), Brenna Vining (.421) and some promising incoming freshman for 2021.

Mason The Comets of Liann Muﬀ were 24-4 last season and 15-3 in the GMC. They lost to Division I state runners-up Lakota East twice in extra innings, the last one a 5-4 defeat on May 22, 2019, in the

The Wolves were the defending ECC champions going 19-6 (13-1) with the one league loss to Milford 5-4 on April 10, 2019. Kaila Nutter, a West Clermont High School senior softball player had impressive ECC stats at .576 with four homers and 25 RBI but also provided that little extra something for the team that doesn’t appear on the stat sheet. During the 2019 season, Coach Throckmorton literally nick-named her “Clutch Kaila” for always coming up with the game-changing plays when needed most. Her four home runs in 2019 were all game-changers – including her three-run homer in the seventh inning against McNicholas. She also had game-changing or winning home runs against conference opponents Milford and Kings, and again in the postseason against Wilmington, a game-winner that put the Wolves up 3-2. Many of her 25 RBIs in 2019 were game-changers and momentum swingers as well, including a two-run double for the 3-2 win against Anderson to set the team up to win the ECC Championship. Other seniors missing their seasons include Paige Suggs, Sydney Barger and Kinsey Ventura (.468, .467 and .463, respectively as juniors).

Western Brown The Lady Broncos would have been a force again as they lost just three seniors oﬀ of their 2019 roster which went 25-1 and featured SBAAC-American Player of the Year Sydni Barnes. Barnes has signed to play at Northern Kentucky and was Division I First Team All-State recording a 0.49 ERA with 281 strikeouts. She needed 262 more to reach 1,000 for her career She also was denied the chance to be the career leader at Western Brown in several oﬀ ensive categories. She had 33 doubles, the record is 34. She had 137 hits, the career record is 165. She had 100 career RBI with the record being 139. She had 95 career runs scored, the record is 130. She also has 63 career wins as a pitcher with the record at 66.

vated and healthy. Grandmaster Strickland received the most prestigious honor of achieving his 9th Degree Blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do on March 14, 2020, just before facilities shut down for COVID-19. In order to keep clients connected to the school and oﬀ er hope during a scary time in our history, Grandmaster Strickland has released his inspirational series, “Holistically Surviving the Quarantine.” In this vignette of intimate videos, he explains how to stay positive during a time of uncertainty. He is also working on workout videos that will focus on holistic embodiment with Daily Aﬃ rmations and Meditation but also fast-paced High Intensity Interval Training, Boxing and Martial Arts. “This is a really scary time in

our history.” Strickland says, “I need to share some light with people so they know there is hope at the end of this.” As a student, Strickland started studying Tae Kwon Do in 1973 under Mr. Mike Gardner. Now, with over 47 years of experience, Mr. Strickland brings his own unique method of teaching to all ages. In 1981, Mr. Strickland began researching self-defense systems and in 1985 he became a Certiﬁ ed Fitness Trainer. He was inducted into the United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame in July, 2006.

10 burger joints you should try carryout-style Polly Campbell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

When you've got an urge for a burger, it's hard to think about any other food. Fortunately, you can order one up pretty easily for carryout. A burger might be the single most available food for carryout during this stay-inside time. Some of the biggest burger names in Cincinnati aren't open: Zip's is closed for now (though you can buy their special ground beef mix at Avril's Meats Downtown). So is Kreuger's and some of my favorites like Frenchie Fresh and Senate. I haven't done the math, but surely over half the restaurants that are open are oﬀ ering burgers: Sacred Beast to Pleasantry to Walt's or Morton's. But here are some places that particularly specialize in burgers.

Drive-thrus None of the fast-food burger joints have closed up completely. If your restrictions aren't just mobility, but also monetary, they've got some current deals like free Breakfast Baconators at Wendy's, etc. If I was home with kids, you bet I'd be in that drive-thru, where no one has to even get out of the car and you can eat in the car and not even bring the trash home.

Frisch's Frisch's has all the familiar "Boys" on the menu, along with the occasional special oﬀ er, like the current California burger, with a smear of avocado and plenty of bacon. You can order and pay ahead, then pick up in the drive-thru or inside.

The Turf Club Tom Kuenkemoeller bought the former Terry's Turf Club in late 2019 but had a rough time getting customers, for a time because people thought that the restaurant had closed. By this January and February, business was doing well. And then ... this. Well, you can still get a Terry's burger to go, the menu is basically what you remember, even if you haven't been there in over a year. Unfortunately, you can only enjoy the neon on the outside.

Sonder Brewing/BrewRiver

Delwood Cafe

I haven't been to Sonder Brewing in Mason, but their kitchen is run by BrewRiver, and that's recommendation enough for me. At one point, they were my No. 1 burger in town. Add some beer to complete the meal. (If you just want beer, Sonder does free delivery of their beers in cans and growlers. within a 15-mile radius of the brewery.) 8584 Duke Blvd., Mason, 513-779-2739, sonderbrewing.com.

This little bar on Mount Lookout Square serves a standard list of bar food like fries, burgers and chicken sandwiches.

Curbside pickup. 3204 Linwood Ave., Mount Lookout, 513-321-0051 or 513-290-5047, www.delwoodcincy.com.

Mama's Grill OK, I've never been to Mama's Grill Family Restaurant and I only recently heard of it because I'm seeing some great-looking food photos on Facebook, including some burgers that look like they'd be awfully good.

Call in your order. 4227 All Star Drive, Batavia, 513-724-5700.

The making of this puzzle — brainstorming the theme, filling the grid and writing the clues — was a full collaboration. Brendan has had many puzzles in The Times. This is Ben’s debut. — W.S.
