Robin Clay swoops into the Price Hill Recreation Center at 8:30 a.m. with the effi ciency of a mom on a mission. It’s a Monday morning in mid-June and the longtime Cincinnati Public Schools employee is preparing to feed breakfast to a room full of neighborhood kids who will spend the day at the recreation center. Clay, whose own kids are grown, talks easily to the children swarming around her. “Come on,” she says, calling them over to a table
piled high with white plastic bags. Inside the bags is breakfast. Cheerios. Applesauce. Milk. All wrapped in pre-packaged, easy-toserve containers, part of a free-meal program provided by Cincinnati Public Schools. The kids line up, single fi le, and wait their turn. The youngest is 6. The oldest is 12. In less than 20 minutes, the food is gone. The kids are ready to begin their week. mmm The Price Hill Recreation Center on Hawthorne See REC, Page 2A
During the campaign for Cincinnati City Council in 2017, a few candidates complained that future Councilman Jeff Pastor handed out money from the charitable foundation he ran to win votes from local church congregations. Federal tax records reviewed June 27 by The Enquirer show the foundation gave $310,000 that year to a dozen Hamilton County churches, all but one of which had never before received a donation from Pastor’s foundation. Most of the churches received $25,000 for “general support” from the Charles L. Shor Foundation for Epilepsy Research, according to the tax return fi led with the Internal Revenue Service. Pastor was the foundation’s director at the time. In the four years prior to 2017, tax records show, the foundation gave to Cincinnati churches or temples on two occasions. Pastor declined comment and Shor did not return a call. When the complaints arose last year, Pastor told The Enquirer he had done nothing wrong and said questions about the foundation were “off ensive.” Speaking to church congregations is a long-standing tradition among City Council candidates because it allows them to get their messages to a large number of potential voters. Ten of the churches that received money from the foundation are in Cincinnati. The other two are in Forest Park but have large congregations that draw from the city. In the run-up to the election, two candidates and the then-Democratic Party chairman complained that Pastor, a Republican, was trying to curry favor with the churches by donating money. At the time, they didn’t know how much he’d given and Pastor wouldn’t say. Michelle Dillingham, who narrowly lost to Pastor in the 2017 election, said See PASTOR , Page 2A

Avenue is one of 23 in Cincinnati. The name implies it is a place to play, but it is more than that. For the children here, it’s an oasis. They read and learn. They run and jump and shoot baskets. And they talk, not just to one another, but with adults who help them navigate the treacherous world around them. They’re growing up fast, but here they can be kids. The center’s staff members are moms and dads. They’re coaches, mentors, trainers, mediators. They know what these children are up against in a city where one-third of the population lives below the poverty line. The workers here see kids who are neglected and abused, who see prostitution and drugs and violence. They see kids who simply don’t have what they need. Every day, the kids show up. Every day, these workers come back for more. Every day.
Monday Five-year-old Cameron Weil, goggles hanging around his neck, towel in hand, walks toward the center, pulling his aunt along with him. “Hold on, hold on!” his aunt calls. Cameron stops and waits for her before crossing the street. He’s headed to the pool for his fi rst swim lesson. He’s excited to get in the water. It’s 11 a.m., but he’s had his bathing suit on since 6. Lifeguard Jalisa Canady, a teenager in a bright red swimsuit, is already in the pool when he arrives. She invites him into the water. Cameron jumps in. The cold water stuns him. He pops out of the water, mouth open, with a look that says he really wishes he’d stuck his toe in the water fi rst. But he doesn’t get out. He takes a deep breath and waits for Canady to tell him what to do next. She begins to show Cameron and a little girl how to fl oat on their backs. It’s a basic thing, but it matters.

the donations revealed in the tax records suggest Pastor bent campaign fi nance rules to gain an advantage. “Dropping that much money in front of a congregation after early voting had started is dirty,” Dillingham said. “That’s the word I think of. It’s dirty politics.” The tax records, which recently became available, do not specify when the donations were made. But at least one other candidate and a pastor whose church received money said the contributions arrived during the campaign. Shor, whose family founded the Florence-based Duro Bag Manufacturing Co., has said he had an epileptic episode as a young man and established the
Daryl Harris, Price Hill Recreation Center director, walks back to the center with Jordyn McGowen. The day campers had been weeding in the garden. It was hot but McGowen didn't have the $3 needed for the pool, not a bathing suit. Harris said he would pay the pool fee and thought the Dempsey Aquatic Center might have extra suits. Harris thought he would probably be paying for fi ve kids to get into the pool on this day. “That's not too bad,” he said. LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER
kids take turns fl oating in the chilly water. Then she tells them to kick their feet, and they do. The water splashes all around them. MMM After the swim lessons, a little before noon, a grandmother and her 10-year-old granddaughter stop in from a walk to use the bathroom. Daryl Harris, the recreation center’s director, notices the girl takes an interest in the noisy gym and the kids in
the pool. The place is fi lling up with children. Harris can tell the little girl is intrigued by it all. He asks her if she can swim. “Yes,” she says. “So, how about swim team? If you’re on swim team you can come free,” he tells her. “I don’t think my mom would let me,” the girl says,
Churches given donations
appeared to be his eff ort to buy the vote,” Quinlivan said last year, after the election. Some of the leaders of the churches said they didn’t consider the contributions political in nature. Bishop Bobby Hilton, leader of Word of Deliverance Ministries in Forest Park, said the $35,000 his church received went toward college scholarships. Because the church isn’t within city limits, Hilton said, he did not see how the donation would have been politically motivated. “Absolutely not,” Hilton said. The Rev. KZ Smith, who leads Corinthian Baptist Church in Bond Hill, said the $25,000 his church received was used to help needy congregants. Pastor accepted his invitation to speak to the congregation about the gift, Smith said, but the then-candidate did not talk about the campaign. “I can see why people think so,” Smith said of complaints about political motivations. “But I didn’t see anything wrong.” According to the tax records, the foundation gave a total of $1.4 million in charitable gifts in 2017. Recipients included the United Way, the Cincinnati Zoo, the University of Cincinnati Foundation and the Cleveland Clinic. The $310,000 in donations to Cincinnati-area churches represented 22% of the foundation’s giving in 2017. During the previous year, the foundation gave to two local houses of worship: the Isaac Wise Temple in Amberley Village and Downtown, which received $55,100, and New Prospect Baptist Church, which got $181,500 to help build a new gym. Roselawn-based New Prospect is the only Cincinnati-area church to receive a donation in both 2016 and 2017. No local churches received money from the foundation in 2013, 2014 and 2015, according to tax records. Pastor became director of the Charles L. Shor foundation in 2017, earning a salary of $37,469. He no longer works for the charity. The foundation’s total of $1.4 million in contributions in 2017 were by far the largest in its 15-year history. The foundation donated a total of $1 million in 2016 and less than $500,000 in 2015. The Shor foundation’s tax return or Form 990 for 2017, which was fi led in November 2018, is the most recent available. Hamilton County’s Democratic Party chairwoman, Gwen McFarlin, described the donations as “shameless.” “It’s always good to give to a church for the right reasons, but it appears Councilman Pastor shifted money away from epilepsy research as he ran for offi ce into churches whose members he was trying to sway,” she said. County GOP Chairman Alex Triantafi lou defended Pastor in Facebook post Friday morning, saying “Interesting times. Giving private money to charity is now ‘shameless.’ Really? Yet wasting millions of taxpayer dollars at City Hall on streetcars and illegal texting by Democrats is not? The Democrats are out of touch. (Pastor) helped his community.”
The 12 Hamilton County churches that received money from the foundation were: ❚ Word of Deliverance Ministries, Forest Park $35,000. ❚ Corinthian Baptist Church, Bond Hill - $25,000. ❚ Greater New Hope Missionary Baptist Church, East Walnut Hills - $25,000. ❚ New Friendship Baptist Church, Avondale - $25,000. ❚ New Jerusalem Baptist Church, Carthage - $25,000. ❚ New Prospect Baptist Church, Roselawn - $25,000. ❚ New St. John Baptist Church, Avondale - $25,000. ❚ Southern Baptist Church, Avondale - $25,000. ❚ Truth & Destiny Covenant, Mount Airy - $25,000.

foundation in 2003 to aid in epilepsy research. Jim Yunker, a fundraising consultant with the Cincinnati-based Yunker Group, said there’s nothing wrong with a foundation giving to a wide range of charities, even if those charities don’t clearly align with the name or mission of the foundation. “I’m sure he’s being truthful about what the money was being used for,” said Yunker, who has no connection to Pastor or the foundation he used to run. “Just the timing and the nature of those gifts is very unusual.” Dillingham said Shor, who was a friend and mentor to Pastor, was able to exert an unfair infl uence over the election through the foundation. Dillingham fi nished 10th in the council fi eld race, missing the fi nal seat on council that went to Pastor by 223 votes. “In a fi eld race, it’s important we are all playing by the same rules,” Dillingham said. “The concern is really not even about Pastor or his party,” she said. “This kind of unfair infl uence with big money is not good for democracy.” Laure Quinlivan, a former council member who also lost in 2017, said she saw Pastor speak to the congregation at Greater New Hope Missionary Baptist Church less than a month before the election to announce the foundation was donating $25,000 so the Walnut Hills church could start a jobs program. The tax records show Greater New Hope in East Walnut Hills did receive $25,000 from the foundation in 2017. “I was shocked this candidate was brazenly passing out big checks from a medical foundation to local church pastors right before the election, in what

to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until berries start to burst and juices start to thicken. Smoosh berries against the side of pan, until most are crushed and this will help the process along.
First, start out with a basic crust that has been “blind baked.” What that means is the crust is baked ahead of time and simply fi lled. For step by step instructions on blind baking, check out my abouteating.com site.
Whisk cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water together. Stirring constantly, add to blueberries, along with sugar and lemon juice.
So now that you’ve got the crust baked, here’s how to make the delicious, and might I say, very pretty, fi lling.
Simmer a couple of minutes or until mixture becomes translucent and slightly thickened. Take it off heat immediately and fold in remaining 3 cups berries.
Filling Ingredients 4 cups fresh clean blueberries
Spoon into baked, cooled pie shell.

Blueberries are in season! I still remember fondly (some of you will, too) taking the little ones to Rouster’s Farm in Clermont County when they were still open to pick blueberries. If you have a source, do support those farmers and pick to your heart’s content. Fresh blueberries can be frozen, too. This pie originated with friend and excellent cook and baker, Carol Ta-
bone. What I love is the fi lling is cooked on the stove. Carol serves her fresh blueberry pie with whipped cream. Every once in a while, I like a streusel topping. The streusel topping is baked separately ahead of time on a cookie sheet and just sprinkled on top – pretty clever, huh? Let me know which topping you decide to use. Freeze blueberries the right way Freeze unwashed in single layer on cookie sheet, uncovered, until hard. Pour into containers. To use, place in colander and rinse.
Crunchy, buttery streusel topping
Instructions
Can be made several days ahead and stored in refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 350. Just whisk dry ingredients, pour in butter and toss with fork until crumbly. I like to leave some big lumps in, along with little ones.
Sprinkle on fi nished pie. Ingredients ⁄ 4 cup flour
Pour onto baking pan and bake 8-10 minutes or so, stirring once. Keep an eye on it — streusel turns golden fairly quick after the 8 minutes.

The Facts About Hearing Loss ADVERTISEMENT
Hearing loss is one of the most common disabilities in the country, affecting more than 35 million Americans. And it impacts nearly every aspect of their lives: professional, social and personal. Yet, the average person with hearing loss waits a full seven years before seeking help. We’re trying to change that, because effective hearing aids can vastly improve people’s quality of life. Here are the most common myths about hearing LOSS—and the facts: Myth: If I were suffering from hearing loss, my doctor would know.
Fact: Only 15% of physicians routinely screen their adult patients for hearing loss. So unless you bring acute symptoms to your doctor, he/she is unlikely to test your hearing. Myth: For people with hearing loss, everything is equally hard to hear. Fact: This is a common fallacy but completely untrue. A person with hearing loss may have normal hearing in the low tones but severe loss in higher frequencies—the register where women’s and children’s voices tend to be. Some consonants tend to

Hearing Loss and Mental Decline New research has linked hearing loss with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists from John Hopkins School of Medicine and Brandeis University have shown that people over 60 years old who have hearing loss are a greater risk of mental decline. One theory of why hearing loss may cause mental decline is the concept of "cognitive load". That is, the brain can only do so many things at once. When someone with normal hearing is listening to speech in a challenging environment like in background noise, he may not hear every sound in a word or every word in a sentence. The brain can fill in the blanks if it has enough of the speech information. A person with a hearing loss typically hears some speech sounds and misses others. This makes for a much more difficult situation for the brain to
handle and increases its work. This is why people with normal hearing may be able to follow two conversations at once or listen to the TV while listening to other people--a task that is very difficult for those with hearing loss. More frightening are studies that indicate that certain areas of the brain shrink faster when a person has hearing loss. These areas of the brain are very close to those associated with those that are affected with dementia. It may be that when the brain does not receive adequate sound stimulation, the unused neurons shrink--a "use it or lose it" phenomenon. Untreated hearing loss seems to be a much greater health risk than previously thought. Other research has linked hearing loss to increased risk of falling. People with a mild hearing loss are

three times more likely to fall than those with normal hearing. Those with a moderate hearing loss are more than four times more likely to fall. This is of great concern to older Americans. Between 18% and 33% of older hip fracture patients die within 1 year of their fracture and between 25% and 75% of those who are independent before their fracture do not achieve their previous level of independent living within 1 year after their fracture. The good news is that a preliminary study from Washington University School of Medicine indicates that wearing hearing aids improves balance for people with hearing loss.
be harder to hear than others: these include S, T and H. Myth: If I can cope by turning up the volume and having face-to-face conversations, I should. Fact: It’s important to know that coping with hearing loss—even if you do it well—can have negative effects on your professional life, your relationships and your brain. It’s not worth straining to hear or using workarounds. The best solution is to get a hearing checkup and treat any hearing loss.
Hearing is essential to healthy relationships
A 2010 survey found that in marriages where a spouse has a hearing loss both partners suffer. It is frustrating to not be able to be heard and understood. It may seem that your spouse is intentionally ignoring you when she actually can't hear you. This can lead to many relationship problems. Some of the study participants said that the hearing loss had actually made them consider leaving the marriage. This is especially concerning since over one third of people over 65 have significant hearing loss. "The years after 65 are supposed to be some of the best for relationships. Spouses who are empty-nesters should be enjoying each other in retirement activities and enjoying the grandchildren." says Dr. Scott Beall Au.D., the owner of 38 local Miracle-Ear® hearing aid centers. "Every day we see the stress that hearing loss causes in the family; from hurt feelings, to feelings of inadequacy, to deep fears about mental decline. The intimacy that should be there in a marriage just erodes away. It doesn't have to be this way. When we address the problem with proper hearing solutions, their lives just light up. That's why we say that we help people 'Listen to Life' again."

looking to her grandmother. He tells the girl to ask her mom if she can come back. Harris does anything he can to get kids into his building. He knows it’s safer and better for them here than on the streets. A few hours later, the pool manager tells Harris the girl came back to sign up for the swim team.
Tuesday It’s sunny and the pool is full. Jadlyn Harris, 11, climbs out of the water. She’s ready for lunch. She’s been at swim team practice all morning – the breast stroke and backstroke are her events this year – and she’s hungry. Every day at 1:15 p.m., a truck fi lled with lunches from Cincinnati Public Schools stops by. Robin Clay, who runs the breakfast program, runs the lunch program, too. She drives up fi rst, pulling a red wagon to help carry the lunches from the parking lot to a table set up just outside the pool. A line forms behind Jadlyn. Clay is expecting 27 kids today. She counts the lunches – today it’s chicken tender wraps – and watches as the kids rush by grabbing up the meals. Some stop to check to see what’s inside the package, but Clay nudges them along. “They’re all the same,” she says. mmm Elaina Vasquez, 18, and her little brother, Jaxhe, 12, stop by the Dempsey Aquatic Center, the center’s pool, around 3 p.m. They’re here to join for the summer. They’ve never been here before, but they were encouraged to come by Luz Elena Schemmel, from Santa Maria Community Services. The agency wants to get more of the neighborhood’s growing Hispanic population involved in the community. That means signing up for the pool, where kids can learn to swim. But the Vasquez family of seven, which came from Guatemala 18 years ago, can’t aff ord the pool’s $130 annual fee. Jim Holmstrom, from the agency, meets Vasquez at the entrance with the cash they need to join. When the transaction is done, Vasquez gets a membership card for each child. The next time they come to the recreation center, they’ll be wearing swimsuits. mmm In a large back room, the lights fl icker at 4 p.m., quieting the kids gathered in front of Elisa Gallon, the children’s librarian. The library moved here last fall after part of the roof over the old library caved in. Later, toxic mold was discovered inside. So now the entire library is crammed into one room of the center. The children gather today in a larger nearby room. Three books rest on Gallon’s lap. The fi rst one she opens is “Me Toma and the Concrete Garden.” It’s about a boy visiting his aunt in the city during the summer. Gallon picked the book because she thought the kids could relate to the story. The description of city life, of hardship, seemed like something they’d recognize. But she also wants them to know there can be beauty here, too. She reads aloud from the pages. The illustrations are all in black and white. “Why isn’t it in color?” one of the kids asks. Gallon tells him it’s to show how things change after the boy plants a garden, and the fl owers and plants begin to grow. As she reads the story, she shows them how the illustrations change, becoming brighter with reds and greens and yellows. By the end, the pages are blazing with color. mmm That evening, an adult headed into the recreation center gives Harris the heads-up that a child needs help outside. “You might want to go talk to him,” she says. “He’s awfully upset.” Harris knows the kid, a 10-year-old who is pacing just outside the doors. He approaches the boy and waits for him to

moment to compose himself. No one is there to put an arm around him. He steadies himself and heads back to work. James Colbert sits down on the weight bench in the gym, bracing himself for what comes next. He’s 17 and he wants to play football for Western Hills High School this fall. Harris is helping him train. “Whenever you’re ready,” Harris says. Colbert is not the only teenager here. They come in the afternoon to play basketball, lift weights, hang. Harris knows this is the safest place for them. Some kids at the center, Harris knows, need fathers. The older ones need someone they can trust. He is that person. Colbert weighed 321 pounds when he started working out here months ago. He’s down to 261 and thinks he’s got a shot to play this season, but only if he keeps working. Colbert stretches his arms, grabs the bar and starts lifting. Up, down, up, down. After six repetitions, Harris puts more weight on the bar and Colbert does it again. They do this, over and over, adding weight and taking it off , until Colbert is sweating heavily, his arms shaking. “It’s all in your head,” Harris tells him, sensing he wants to quit. “Come on.

talk. “My daddy passed away. My grandma has cancer,” the boy mumbles, kicking the ground. Harris remembers when the boy joined the recreation center. His father came with him to sign him up. “I need something for him to do,” the man said of his son, who was standing next to him. “This one here, bad as hell, you have to watch him.” Now, the father is dead, shot earlier this year. And the boy is here, standing in front of Harris. So he listens. Then he tells the boy it’s OK to feel the way he does, that it won’t always be this way. The boy says he wants to go swimming, but he doesn’t have $3 to get in. Harris reaches into his pocket, pulls out three dollar bills and hands them to the boy.
Wednesday It’s more boisterous than usual just before 9 a.m. as Harris passes out yellow and orange tie-dye shirts that say Camp CRC, with the recreation center phone number on them. The kids clutch orange nylon backpacks containing their lunch. They cluster near the camp van, vying to be the fi rst to get in. “Move back, watch your fi ngers,” Harris cautions. Daniel Betts, the recreation department director, stops by to see them off to the zoo. An 8-year-old says she wants to see the dancing elephants. A week earlier, Betts, on the job three years and at the tail end of a meeting, stopped by and saw that same 8-yearold girl sitting on the steps outside the center’s front entrance with her younger brother and three of her cousins. “What are you doing here, outside?” he asked. They came for breakfast, but all their camp paperwork isn’t complete and camp doesn’t start until 11 a.m. Their mom had given them strict instructions not to leave the house while she was at work, but the short walk to the Price Hill Recreation Center was tempting. Betts called their mom and arranged

to have the rest of the forms fi lled out. She came that afternoon. As the climb on the bus they wonder to each other, “Do you think we’ll see Fiona?”
Thursday Tanaruse Witherspoon, known as “Spoon” to everyone who’s ever met him, heads to the center’s kitchen. It’s 11 a.m. Time to make a snack for the kids. He opens the fridge and pulls out packages of hot dogs. Then reaches into a cupboard for buns. Witherspoon bought the food himself at Kroger earlier in the week. He goes there almost every day, using his own money to buy whatever he thinks the kids might need. He boils the hot dogs and plops them onto paper plates with the buns. “Attention!” he says to the kids. “If you do not have a lunch, come here.” The children swarm around him. mmm Majoretta Gallaher hears the child crying fi rst. She’s at the front desk, just feet away from the toddler, who is sitting on the lap of a teenager. The teenager might be the child’s brother, or his father, Gallaher thinks. It doesn’t matter. At the moment, her concern is simply: “What’s wrong?” Is the boy wet? Maybe. But there aren’t any diapers. Hungry? That’s it, she decides. This baby hasn’t been fed today. It’s 1:28 pm. Gallaher digs into her drawer for a cereal bar and applesauce, leftovers for kids who come and are hungry. The teenager feeds his young charge, wiping his mouth with a tissue. The toddler is quiet now. Gallaher walks away. She’s upset but doesn’t want anyone to see. But Harris, who’s been watching her with the toddler, sees her. He follows Gallaher down the hall and puts his arm around her shoulder. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry,” she tells him. “It’s OK. I know,” he responds. “We do the best we can.” Gallaher wants to be alone, and Harris lets her go off to the bathroom. He returns to the front desk. But then he, too, turns back down the hallway, needing a
The kids head to the garden at noon. It’s just up the hill from the center, a citysponsored garden for the neighborhood run by Turner Farms. Joshua Jones, 33, the garden’s manager, and Lola, his sheep dog, greet the children. Hazel, from the front desk, bought straw hats for all the kids. She’s 74 years old and she knows a few things about gardening. When you garden, you wear a hat. “Who likes carrots?” Jones asks. Everyone says they do. “Who’s pulled carrots out of the ground?” He asks. Not many. But that’s what they’re here for. A summer harvest, ahead of the real crop in the fall. Jones shows the kids how to pull a carrot out of the ground without breaking off the top. “It’s like digging for buried treasure,” he says. The kids plunge their tiny hands into the dirt, using as much muscle as they can to free the carrots from the ground. One of them shows off a bouquet of bright orange carrots, topped with feather-like green leaves. It dwarfs her small arms. Jones walks down the aisle with a gray plastic pallet in hand, collecting the bounty. “You guys are carrot-digging machines,” Jones tells them. They smile. This is fun. The bin fi lls up fast with carrots. A little girl shows Jones a carrot that’s split at the end, as if two carrots grew together. Jones calls them “dancing carrots,” and everyone laughs. “I’m going to share them with my mom,” another girl says, dropping her bunch onto the pallet. Jones washes off the carrots and brings them down to the center so the kids can try them. The leftovers are put out for anyone to take home. mmm It’s 5 p.m. now and Harris is trying to leave a little early. He’s hosting Father’s Day at his house this weekend and has work to do. He’so caring for his wife, a cancer survivor struggling with lupus. First, though, he needs to send Hazel home. Like many of the workers here, she stays late a lot. There’s so much to do, so many kids. It’s hard to leave them. Harris can see Hazel’s car in the parking lot, so he knows she’s still here. Turns out, she’s hiding out in the back room with the younger kids, doing a craft. Harris gets it. He wishes the center could stay open every day, every night. It’s time for everyone to go home. The kids. The staff . Harris makes a quick check of the center, poking his head into each room. Finding no one left to help, he heads out the front door and walks to his car. He’ll get some rest this weekend, he hopes. The kids will be back Monday. And so will he.

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Whether the rest of the state was overrated or Southwest Ohio was underrated, there’s little doubt Cincinnati fans felt left out for decades when it came to evaluating the caliber of their favorite high school teams. Since the fi rst Associated Press polls were released in 1947, the closest school to fi nish a season with the No. 1 ranking was Portsmouth Notre Dame, and that was only in 1967, the fourth season the poll was split into multiple divisions. Local powerhouses such as Roger Bacon and Purcell never fi nished the season in the top slot, which was habitually occupied by teams from the northeast part of the state. Massillon Washington was the primary focus of frustration in this corner of the state. The Tigers, a near-legendary program pushed to prominence by Paul Brown, won 10 poll championships through 1964 and three more after the poll was split into divisions based on school sizes, including 1972. That proved to be a watershed season for Greater Cincinnati teams. It was the fi rst year the Ohio High School Athletic Association sanctioned postseason football tournaments, and local squads wasted no time claiming what they had considered for years to be their rightful claims to fame. Four teams combined to capture eight state championships on threelevels over the next eight seasons. Three more reached state championship games. Which of those teams were the best of the decade?
Almost from the fi rst year the Ohio High School Athletic Association sponsored a state baseball tournament, Greater Cincinnati teams have dominated the event. Sure, the area needed four seasons before coach Winston Moeller led Woodward to the fi rst local state championship in 1931, but local schools quickly made up for lost time and have established superior numbers that may never be surpassed. Led by Elder’s 12 titles, area teams went into the 2019 season having combined for 69 state championships. Moeller ranks second among local programs with eight titles, followed by Reading with six and Western Hills with fi ve. Only Newark Catholic with nine championships and Clyde with six can be mentioned in the same breath. Which teams are the best of the best? That is the question the Enquirer will answer, starting with the teams that earned honorable mention outside of our Top 10. All of the teams won state championships:

Fenwick, 1974 – Coach Jerry Harkrader’s second of back-to-back Class A champions, the Falcons fi nished 11-0-1 and fi nished the season with a 21-0 win over Fremont St. Joseph Central Catholic. Wyoming, 1977 – Two seasons after losing 19-14 in the Class AA fi nals, coach Bob Lewis’s successfully negotiated the fi nal step, capturing the 1977 AA state championship with a 26-14 win over Elyria Catholic.

No. 5 – Elder, 1972 Coach Ken Haupt’s Panthers rode an oppressive defense to a 9-0-1 record. Led by senior linebacker Steve Grote and defensive lineman Paul Maly, Elder shut out each of its fi rst eight opponents and didn’t allow a score until a St Xavier touchdown pass in the second quarter of the ninth game, leading to a fi nal 6-6 tie.

Ed Orick tossed a complete-game two-hitter with no walks and six strikeouts in the Blue Devils’ 4-0 win over Genoa in a state semifi nal and they capitalized on four Wooster Triway errors to log an 8-2 win in the championship game, polishing off a 32-4 season in Tom Higgins’s fi rst season as coach.
No. 8, Elder, 2005 Division I Like their predecessors 22 years earlier, these Panthers pitched shutouts in three of their fi nal four games. Charlie Leesman allowed three hits in a complete-game 6-0 win over Mentor in a semifi nal before Matt Klausing matched him, allowing three hits in a completegame 3-0 win over Toledo Start in the fi nal.
No. 3. Fairfi eld, 1991 Division I The Indians were ranked No. 3 in the nation by USA Today before whipping Newark, 10-2, in one state semifi nal and knocking off Youngstown Boardman, 4-0, to fi nish 32-3.

No. 6, Withrow, 1934 Class A The Corken brothers, left fi elder Gordon and pitcher Don, led the Tigers to the most dominant state tournament performance by any local team.

No. 5, Western Hills, 1948 Class A The Mustangs, then known as the Maroons, were among the deepest teams in local history, led by shortstop and future major leaguer Don Zimmer and third baseman Glenn Sample, but Zimmer was 0-for-4 with two errors and Sample 0-for-3 in the championship game against Warren Harding. Center fi elder Stew Hein went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and pitcher Bill Crigler went 3-for-3 with a triple and two RBI as Western Hills came from behind for an 8-6 win to complete a 21-1 season.

No. 1. Fairfi eld, 1985 Class AAA Gary Yeatts’s Indians went a glowing 32-1-2, capping their run with a 16-1 romp over Lancaster in a semifi nal and an 8-5 win over Lyndhurst Brush in the fi nal. Pitcher Chris Lutz went 3-for-4 and drove in four runs and three teammates each homered in the semifi nal. Jerry Mitchum’s two-run homer sparked a six-run fourth inning in the fi nal. “The caliber of play in southwestern Ohio is better,” Yeatts said after the championship game.
No. 2 – Moeller, 1979 Senior running back Eric Ellington, the AP Class AAA Back of the Year, and fi rst-team all-state center Joe Apke sparked a Crusader off ense that piled up 317 points during the regular season, while senior linebacker Rick Naylor led a defense that allowed only 49 points and produced fi ve shutouts. Moeller, coached by Gerry Faust, overwhelmed its two post-season opponents, winning both games by a combined 72-14. “If there’s a better high school team in the country, I’d like to see it – but I’d like to see it from the stands,” Parma Padua coach Tom Kohuth said after losing in the championship game.

The 1972 season featured the debut of Ohio’s post-season tournament, with qualifi ers determined by the Harbin computer ratings. Since the Panthers’ season didn’t end until the annual Thanksgiving Day grudge match against neighborhood-rival Western Hills, they didn’t have enough points to fi nish higher than fourth.
No. 4 – Princeton, 1972 Led by three fi rst-team AP all-state picks – off ensive tackle Chris Webster, running back Mike Gayles and defensive back Rick White – the Vikings piled up an area-high 275 points and fi nished the regular season 9-0-1 against a schedule strong enough to give them enough points to capture the fi rst Class AAA Region 4 championship. That set up a semifi nal matchup with AP poll-champion Massillon Washington at Ohio Stadium and Princeton prevailed, erasing a 14-0 defi cit to pull out a “We told you so” 17-14 win that coach Pat Mancuso would describe in retirement as the highlight of his career. The Vikings went on to lose, 37-6, to a Warren Western Reserve team lead by Ross Browner.
The Crusaders rolled through the state semifi nals and fi nal by a combined 20-2 score to fi nish 32-2 and win a second straight championship. Shortstop Riley Mahan was the catalyst, going 5for-5 with three RBIs in the semifi nal and 2-for-4 in the championship game.
No. 1 – Moeller, 1976

No. 3 – Princeton, 1978 The Vikings returned to post-season play for the fi rst time since 1972 and wrapped up an 11-0 season with a taut 12-10 win over Berea. Gary Nagel threw two touchdown passes, the second to Robert King with 32 seconds left in the
game, completing a drive kept alive when AP fi rst-team all-state running back Ken Roundtree with a 24-yard run to midfi eld on third down with just over a minute left. Nagel converted another third down with a 12-yard pass to Lee Thomas.
Senior quarterback Tim Koegel was named the AP Class AAA Back of the Year and senior off ensive tackle Jim Brown the Lineman of the Year, leading the Crusaders to their second of three consecutive state championships, and a co-national championship under Gerry Faust. Moeller, with a defense led by middle linebacker Bob Crable, was even more dominant in postseason play than the 1979 team, also a national champion, winning the two games by a combined score of 91-5.

SCHOOL NEWS Game-themed celebration a success for Springer More than 380 friends and supporters of Springer School and Center gathered at Music Hall on May 2 for A Springer Celebration! 2019, Springer-opoly. The guest speaker at the fundraising event was Springer alumnus Michael Schulte, whose family company Late for the Sky custom-designed a Springeropoly game for the school. Schulte described for guests the diffi culties he encountered with reading in Schulte K elementary school, as a student with dyslexia. He credited his Springer education with his success in college. “Without the strategies for reading and comprehension that I attained while at Springer,” he said, “I would not have successfully completed the countless essays, presentations and exams that were required to graduate.” Chairing the event was Springer alumnus and Trustee Peter Frey, and Springer parent Jenni Ward served as Auction Chair. The evening was emceed by FOX19 Now Sports Director Joe Danneman, who also presided over a 10item live auction. The event raised $195,000 that will be used for fi nancial aid and school and outreach programs. Carole Barnhart
