Harvest Home Fair is Sept. 6-9 Jennie Key Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

There are few things more West Side than the “Biggest Little Fair in Ohio,” the Harvest Home Fair. The Cheviot-Westwood Kiwanis Club and the Harvest Home Fair Association team up with the city of Cheviot for the annual Harvest Home Fair each year. The 159th annual Harvest Home Fair will celebrate Cheviot’s bicentennial. The Cheviot Bicentennial Committee is sponsoring a contest for the best-decorated sheep statue in the city as part of its celebration. The Cheviot sheep is a breed of white-faced sheep and became a city mascot. Fair-goers will vote for the winning statue throughout the fair. The four-day fair is set for Thursday, Sept. 6, through Sunday, Sept. 9, at Har-

vest Home Park in Cheviot. The fair traces its roots back to 1806, when Cheviot settlers Enoch and Ashsah Carson harvested the ﬁrst abundant crop from their 20-acre farm and invited the other settlers to celebrate with them and give thanks for the successful harvest. Some form of the harvest festival has been celebrated every year since. It’s been cancelled three times: in 1813 and 1814 because of the War of 1812 and 50 years later in 1863 during the Civil War because of rumors that Morgan’s Raiders were coming across the Ohio and through the area. “The Harvest Home Fair is above all a tradition,” chairman Pete Rebold said. “People came here for the fair when they were kids, they remember how It was, and they want it to stay the same.” See FAIR , Page 1A

West Sider’s book pays homage to ‘Cincy Kids’ and the toys that made them Melissa Reinert Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The common denominator among human beings, according to Cincinnati author Kristian Geer, is toys. “Even if it was a stick-shaped like an airplane, or a pet rock, or a straw doll, everybody has played with some sort of toy,” Geer said. Playing with toys, especially the Cincinnati-based Kenner playthings, was

Geer’s favorite pastime growing up on the West Side. Actually, he never stopped playing. “Toys are the way I can connect with and communicate with others,” he said. Geer, 45, recently published “Cincy Kids,” a book featuring photographs of his personal vintage and antique Kenner toys posed at various Downtown Cincinnati scenes. The book was scheduled to be released on Aug. 31 at the Pendleton Arts

The Harvest Home parade The parade is one of those traditions. For most West Siders, fall parades itself right down Harrison Avenue and North Bend Road to the Harvest Home Park. Lawn chairs are left unmolested along the parade route starting on the Tuesday after Labor Day, staking out prime viewing spots. The parade starts at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 6. This year’s parade will continue with celebration of the Cheviot theme. Grand marshals are the mayors of Cheviot, and former mayor J. Michael Laumann and current mayor Sam Keller will represent the city’s leadership in the parade. Laumann, the 10th mayor of Cheviot, was elected to Cheviot City Council in 1973 and became president of council in 1982. He became mayor in 1983 when Mayor Louis Von Holle died, Laumann

The community contributions included improvements to Harvest Home Park, tornado relief, donations to St. Francis-St. George Hospital, improvements at community parks, playgrounds at community schools, improvements to the Gamble-Nippert YMCA, and a variety of shelters at parks and other gathering spaces. Volunteers drive the fair Chairman Rebold says the future of the fair rests with the community. Rebold is serving as chairman of the fair this year, and he’ll be at the helm next year as well. But he hopes next year, he will be mentoring a volunteer from the community who’s willing to take over leadership of the fair in the future. The Cheviot-Westwood Kiwanis group is not going to be able to sustain the fair without more community members stepping in to help run the fair, they said. Join the Harvest Home Fair Association and lend your skills. For information, call 513-662-0524 or visit harvesthomefair.com. “It’s a community event,” Rebold said. “If it’s important to the community, people are going to have to come forward to make sure it continues.”

Police previously said excessive speed was a factor in the three-car crash that happened on May 21 near the intersection of Boudinot Avenue and Werk Road. The truck was “vaulted” into an apartment building balcony after crashing into two parked cars, said Capt. Paul Broxterman, the Cincinnati Police Department District 3 commander. The truck struck a tree and came to rest on the second-ﬂoor balcony deck of the apartment building.

MSD needs help stopping manhole cover theft Jennie Key Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Someone is stealing manhole covers and storm grates, costing taxpayers money and creating potential driving hazards. Deb Leonard, spokeswoman for Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati, said a recent increase in recycling and scrap metal value may be the motive for a spike in the number thefts of metal infrastructure such as manhole covers, storm grates and even fencing and railings. The Stormwater Management Utility, a division of Greater Cincinnati Water Works is experiencing a similar rise in thefts. Leonard said in some cases, oﬃcials believe thieves are hiding in plain sight. The items being taken are heavy and in-

Oﬃcials said local scrapyards should not accept any of the materials and they are asking the public for help. Report missing grates or manhole covers to MSD at 513-352-4900. Leonard said residents should also use the contact numbers and call if they see workers removing manhole covers or storm grates so the agencies can intervene if the “workers” are thieves. “We hope people will report anything that may seem suspicious and alert the Cincinnati Police Department, especially if there is heavy machinery being used outside of normal business hours,” she said.

Queen’s ArtWorks mural on Court Street, “Toy Heritage.” Queen’s mural showcases some of the most popular toys that were designed by Kenner. “I was looking for a way to really pay homage to that mural with what I was doing when I created a replica using the same toys,” Geer said. “That didn’t feel quite like enough. So I thought: ‘A book maybe?’” Geer created an Instagram account and started photographing each individual toy to its own matching background. For the book, he crafted a children’s poem to match every photograph. Photographs include depictions such as Godzilla smashing the Roebling bridge or Spider-Man swinging through the city.

MSD is reporting 43 thefts to date –19 manhole lids and 24 manhole and metal rims that hold the manhole in place. Leonard said the material cost for a lid is $84 and it’s about $174 a lid and casting combo. Stephani Schweitzer, a water works spokeswoman, said her agency has reports of thefts at about 20 locations in the past two months. “Stormwater inlet grates are being stolen with surprising frequency, despite the fact they weigh about 150 pounds and are only worth a few dollars as scrap metal,” Eric Saylor, stormwater engineer for the city, said.

Frisch’s closes a restaurant in Green Township Jennie Key Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

After more than 40 years, Frisch’s has served its last Big Boy at its Mount Airy location. The Frisch’s Restaurant at 6080 Colerain Ave., which is actually in Green Township, closed it doors Aug. 26. Todd Napier, vice president of marketing for Frisch’s, said the company constantly evaluates its restaurants and the Mount Airy restaurant was underperforming. The restaurant opened there in 1976. He said the majority of the restaurant’s employees

are moving to other locations. Two nearby locations are relatively new or remodeled, Napier said. Frisch’s built the 5351 North Bend Road restaurant in Monfort Heights in 2011 and the Northgate Frisch’s at 9830 Colerain Ave. was remodeled last year. Napier said Frisch’s plans to sell the property. Frank Birkenhauer, Green Township administrator, said while it is disappointing to see the restaurant close, he is conﬁdent revitalization plans for the north-

east corner of the township will continue to more forward. “In the next two years, we are planning a streetscape improvement with sidewalks and decorative lighting for that portion of Colerain Avenue, and the new Gold Star restaurant is expected to get underway soon,” he said. “Green Township has its new training facility in that area, and we have the Guardian Savings headquarters, as well. I see no reason the revitalization of that area of the community won’t continue.”

Try jalapenos a new way: candied Rita’s Kitchen

Candied jalapeno peppers/cowboy candy

Rita Heikenfeld

Makes about 9 half pints. These are addictive! Awesome gift, as well.

Picking hot peppers is like picking cucumbers – the more peppers we pick, the more peppers we have. Maybe you’re in the same situation, whether it’s peppers from your garden or the market. So try the candied jalapeno peppers. I’ve had numerous requests again for them. Trendy restaurants are serving their own version of this alongside sandwiches and stirred into condiments. You can make them at home, like my daughter-in-law Jess and I are doing this weekend. That’s what she requested for her birthday. And if you’re in the mood for a quick and yummy ﬁsh dish, try the roasted salmon with sweet & spicy glaze. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com. Email her at rita@com munitypress.com with “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Ingredients 3 pounds jalapenos (throw in a few Serranos if you have them) 2 cups cider vinegar 5 percent acid 6 cups sugar (it’s a lot but remember, you’re candying the peppers) 1/2 teaspoon turmeric 1/2-3/4 teaspoon celery seed 3 teaspoons granulated dry garlic 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper Instructions Wearing gloves, remove stems from peppers. Slice into 1/8-1/4 inch rounds. Set aside.

Salmon with sweet and spicy glaze No real recipe but a kind of go to taste on ingredients deal. Here’s the improv version: Ingredients Salmon filets with skin Dark or light brown sugar and Dijon or spicy country mustard Salt and pepper Instructions Preheat oven to 400-425. Mix sugar and mustard. Start adding sugar to mustard until glaze is sweet with a bit of a kick. Season fish, place skin side down on sprayed baking sheet. Coat thickly with glaze and roast until fish flakes with fork, about 10-15 minutes, depending upon size. Don’t overbake.

Bring everything else to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Add pepper slices and simmer 4 minutes. They will shrivel a little. No worries. Use a slotted spoon to put peppers into hot canning jars to within 1/4 inch of the upper rim of the jar. Turn heat up under the syrup and bring to a full boil. Boil for 6 minutes. Pour boiling syrup into the jars over jalapeno slices. Insert a knife or skewer into the bottom of the jar and turn it two

or three times to release any trapped pockets of air. Adjust level of syrup if necessary. Wipe top and sides of rims with clean, wet cloth. Why? Even a teeny particle of food that clings to rim prevents a good seal.

Remove jars. Leave them to cool, undisturbed, for 24 hours. Allow to mellow two weeks. Or don’t! Store in pantry up to a year. Don’t want to can peppers?

Screw on 2 piece caps and lids. (Flat cap has to be new; screw on lid does not).

Just store in refrigerator for several months. Or freeze up to 6 months.

Place jars in canner, cover with water by 2 inches. Bring to a full boil. Boil for 10 minutes for 4 oz. and 8 oz. jars, or 15 minutes for pints.

Leftover syrup Delish brushed on meat on the grill or added to potato salad or mayo for sandwiches.

Viewpoints Probation substations help probationers succeed Steven Martin Guest columnist Community Press

Since the late 1990’s The Hamilton County Common Pleas Court, on which I have served on since 1996, has maintained probation substations in certain communities. Currently there are substations in Madisonville, Price Hill, Clifton/Avondale, and Over the Rhine. The idea came from Mike Snowden who is a former Cincinnati Chief of Police and later was our Chief Probation Oﬃcer. The thought behind utilizing these

Sandra Guile Guest Columnist Community Press

Choose your moving company carefully Choosing someone to pick up all your belongings and take them to another location is a scary prospect, and sometimes the details involved with moving aren’t exactly clear before the first box is packed. Know this: you have rights and responsibilities that protect both you and the moving company that begins when you decide to move until the time the items are dropped at the new door. ❚ Everything starts with the estimate — have the company tell you exactly how much the move will cost in writing and read the fine print. ❚ Know what estimate you received — there are three types. 1. Nonbinding — the final cost may be different than what you were quoted originally. 2. Binding — the final cost is the amount you were told. 3. Guaranteed to not exceed — the final cost must be at or lower than the number contained in the quoted price. ❚ Insurance is important — the moving company is liable for the value of your items, but there are different levels of liability that may impact the amount of reimbursement you receive. ❚ Verify licensing — interstate movers must be licensed and insured by the federal government. Trucks are assigned a motor carrier number you can confirm with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration ❚ Check out who you choose — hiring a moving broker is different than hiring a moving company; they act as middlemen between you and a mover. One common scam is when a moving company lures a customer into a deal with low rates and then holds their items hostage in exchange for a ransom. Another is when a deposit is put down on a truck and a moving date is agreed upon, but the moving company never shows up. Be wary if they refuse to do on-site inspections; if they demand a large deposit in cash; or if they only have a P.O. Box and have no listing of a brick and mortar location. Should you suspect something doesn’t seem quite right, report it to scamtracker.org. Find additional tips on bbb.org Sandra Guile is the Community Outreach Specialist for BBB.

substations was to give people on probation more supervision than was possible with only a downtown location. I was able to get this plan adopted despite misgivings of several judges and Probation Oﬃcers. Periodically, I review the performance of these substations. Within the last few months I have gone to the Community Councils of East Price Hill, West Price Hill and Madisonville. The residents in those communities believe, without exception, that those substations are working well. By law, there are some defendants that are required to be placed on probation. I want every one of my probation-

ers to succeed and by that, I mean to follow the law, get a job, complete their education and be out of the criminal justice system. By being in the community, these officers provide more effective supervision. Probation officers work closely with the community and law enforcement. It is a vital part of the work of our Court. Probation Officers being in the neighborhoods help the probationers succeed. Small problems are solved before they become big problems. Job referrals can be made promptly. If someone needs drug treatment, these officers can arrange that treatment quickly often without violating probation. Simply

put, these substations are an effective use of the taxpayer’s dollars. In each of the communities served by these probation officers, there are community groups doing great things. As a Judge, I am proud that these probation officers participate in the community often on their own time. They are a vital link to the citizens our Court serves. I have long felt our Court needs to expand the use of substations. Helping probationers turn their lives around should always be a goal of The Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. Steven Martin has served as a Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge since 1996.

I don’t remember which anniversary it was, but I had some fun talking about what life would be like the same number of years later when the fourth-generation baby I was carrying would be grown, referring to my daughter, Meghan, as the ﬁrst “Madame President.” As I prepared for my last child’s high school graduation party and ceremony in June, I’d given a great deal of thought about how my hopes, my parenting, my children and this world have evolved since the day I waddled out of that church ceremony. It took me a while to understand my wishes for my children didn’t have to be grand. I didn’t need to fret over what I thought they should be doing or what I may or may not have done correctly. T hese realizations have helped me the past few months as we’ve prepared to move Meghan into her dorm at Xavier University Aug. 15. More mature than most adults I know, she spent the better part of three years getting ready for this day. I’ve just been the bystander. It’s fascinating to watch my baby take charge of things, make her lists and get things done. We’re like peas and carrots so seeing this was like watching me 30 years ago. Our dynamic the last few weeks has shifted ever so slightly. I am completely on board with her living at Xavier so she’d grow outside her comfort zone. Because she’s been combing YouTube dorm videos and store websites for exactly what she wants, I just assumed she’s beyond ready to get out of Dodge. She knows she’ll ﬁnd kindred spirits in college, more than she did in high school. While it’s true she’s more than ready, her recent questions have given me pause. “What if I want to eat your dinners?” she said out of the blue. Then, come eat them. “Will you make your chicken bruschetta pasta for me the night before I

move? Can we go get Graeter’s, too?” Whatever you want on your last night, you get. “Want to watch ‘Princess Diaries’ with me?” We had movie fests a lot when she was younger and that was a favorite. You bet, honey. We did this last night. “Will you help me organize the stuﬀ I bought?” She didn’t need my help. She wanted me to be a part of it as much as I did. “Are you getting upset it’s nearly here?” My answer to that last question surprised us both. “How can I be upset that I’ve done my job? You’re doing exactly what you want to do in the manner I’d hoped you’d do it.” This was the goal, right? She’s an amazing young woman. I truly couldn’t be more proud. But, if I’m being honest with myself, I’m going about this the way I’ve been conditioned since my ﬁrst-born, Jake, came into the world. Choosing to be a parent meant I would forever choose them over me. The answer I gave her is absolutely true. The answer I didn’t give her: I’ll be lost for an undetermined time. I’ll con-

stantly check my phone for her texts and photos and stop myself from asking for them. I’ll be thankful when her cats crowd me as they cope with her not being there.\ I’ll watch “High School Musical” and “Harry Potter” movies start to finish and pretend she’s there with a bowl of popcorn. I’ll want to see a gazillion halfempty water bottles, towels and shoes dropped all over the house. I’ll wonder if the pepper spray I got her will suffice if she needs to use it. (Pardon the tangent, but this is unbelievable: As I typed this, she just sent me a photo of her watching “High School Musical” on the TV and all her packed things to the side, along with the word “Nostalgia.” Tears are flowing.) When the clock hit 18 years in July, law dictated she’s no longer a child. The law of nature, however, means she’ll always be my child. God has reminded me of this fact in a variety of ways. Her wisdom teeth extraction July 31 didn’t go as smoothly as her brother’s did and ended with dry socket. More than once, she woke me in the middle of the night to help her with the pain. That hadn’t happened in years. Then, she took a header into the concrete sidewalk while jogging down our hill. My nerves were seriously shot. OK, I got the message. She needs me. Stop. I know we will eventually get used to our new normal, and something else beautiful will arise. I just won’t feel like counting that blessing today when I reenter my empty nest. As I stand on this print podium, with tears down my cheeks, ready to hand my daughter over to the world, I need her and her brother to know, despite that sadness, they’ve been my ultimate blessing and I’ve been honored to be their mom. They’re my prize productions. On June 9, I saw my fiercely strong young woman in her honors sash graduating with the class of 2018 at Cintas Center. And, in 2022, I’ll see her back there with her classmates at Xavier University. See, my girl won’t be the leader of the free world. She will heal the free world as a nurse. Infinitely better than I ever dreamed. Melanie Laughman is the digital preps planning editor for high school sports. She will periodically write a column, Take 5, on family-related issues.

Sports HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS VOLLEYALL PREVIEW

How will Mercy McAuley aﬀect volleyball scene? Mark Schmetzer Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Perhaps the most intriguing question regarding not just volleyball but all Greater Cincinnati high school girls sports this year is what kind of impact will be felt from the new Mercy McAuley. The school formed by the merger of Mercy and McAuley will sponsor teams of athletes from former programs that traditionally enjoyed levels of success in most – if not all – all sports. “We have a unique opportunity establishing the identity of our new program,” Wolves coach Greg Samuels said. “This will lead to one of the deepest rosters that I’ve been a part of with 13 returning players having extensive varsity experience, and with this depth will come lofty team goals.” Mercy won a district championship last season led by outside hitter Shelby Dennis, who ranked second in the Girls Greater Catholic League in kills per set each of the last two seasons, and defender Alyssa Overbeck, who ranked among the GGCL’s top four in digs per set each of the last two seasons. From McAuley comes 5-foot-11 middle hitter Madison Merz, who finished ninth in the GGCL in blocks last season as a freshman. The Wolves still will have to get past defending Division I state-champion Ursuline and regional runnerup Mount Notre Dame in the GGCL. Coach Jeni Case lost seven players to graduation from the state champions, but she welcomes back first-team junior setter Logan Case and second-team all-state libero Maggie Huber. “It’s nice to have two key positions back,” Jeni Case said. “This will be their third year in those positions.” Coach Chris Lovett’s MND Cougars welcome back significant experience, led by three seniors – outside hitter Samantha Wolf, middle blocker Madison Kern and defender Emily Ernst. “I think that we are going to have a strong defensive team while also matched with a powerful offense,” said Lovett, who’s in his first season as coach

Elder’s Peyton Ramsey gets nod as Indiana QB Scott Springer

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Former Elder High School signal caller Peyton Ramsey will be under center at Indiana in the opener against Florida International, as reported by the Indy Star. Hoosiers coach Tom Allen made the announcement after a practice. Ramsey is a redshirt sophomore who started for the Hoosiers last season until he suﬀered an injury in November. This season he beat out a graduate transfer and a freshman for the gig. “He has the lead in the collective group,” Allen told the Indy Star. “He understands the oﬀense really, really well. He knows where to put the football,

where to take the ball, who to get the ball to. He has the ability to get us out of a jam with his legs. He has the ability to get ﬁrst downs with his legs. He has a competitive toughness and grit that I like.” At Elder, Ramsey shared Greater Catholic League-South Player of the Year honors with La Salle’s Jeremy Larkin in 2014 and 2015 playing for his father Doug. Doug Ramsey will continue his regimen of coaching the Panthers on Fridays, then trying to see Peyton in action on Saturdays. “That’s it,” Doug Ramsey said of his plan. “I get in the car or go to the airport and get to where we can get. Unfortunately, I’m going to miss four of them this year. The other eight, I’ll be there.”

The proud pop missed just one game last year and admits he goes on adrenaline sometimes after a busy Friday night. The process is also signiﬁcantly easier after a Panther win. Ramsey credits his son’s success in the Big Ten with the rigors of the GCLSouth. “Our guys play so many good people,” Ramsey said. “Our league is really good, then you play St. Ignatius and (Lakewood) St. Edward. You see all of these teams and you play against the best. It helps our guys a lot I think.” After the road opener at FIU, Doug Ramsey can go to Bloomington three weeks in a row when the Hoosiers play Virginia (Sept. 8), Ball State (Sept. 15) and Michigan State (Sept. 22).

Elder’s Peyton Ramsey has earned the Indiana starting quarterback job. He threw for 1,252 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. USA TODAY SPORTS

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS SOCCER PREVIEW

Cincinnati girls soccer expects to keep dominating

of a few talented freshman. The 2018 edition of the Tigers is eager to make its own mark in program lore. “They know that past success means nothing and they are working to create their own mark in Loveland’s history,” head coach Todd Kelly said. “Our success this season, as it always seems to be, will be dependent on how healthy we remain throughout the season.” Those are the established champions, but they will be challenged throughout the regular season and tournament by several capable and hungry squads. There is a strong likelihood that local teams will ﬁnish the regular season ranked in the top 10 in the state, but fail to advance out of the

district tournament. The talent pool and coaching prowess in this area is possibly as deep as it has ever been. In Division I, Fairﬁeld, Mason, Oak Hills, West Clermont, St. Ursula, Anderson, and Mount Notre Dame will chase Loveland. The Cougars return 11 starters, led by Becky Dean and Lexi Watson. The program welcomed new head coach Kiersten Johnson and she likes what she has seen from her team so far. “These young women have really stepped up and taken responsibility of their program,” said Johnson. “The culture they have been creating is going to impact what happens this year and our coaching staﬀ can’t wait to see what this season holds.”

Anderson lost just three times in 2017, twice to Loveland. With eight starters returning and 14 seniors providing leadership, the program is poised for another successful season. Xavier commit Alaina Sullivan leads the way. West Clermont overcame the challenges that Mercy McAuley will face this year. West Clermont, the product of two high schools combining, posted a 9-6-2 record in its inaugural season. “I was very pleased with our performance last season,” head coach Amy Kemmer said. “As a first-year program having to combine two schools, we exceeded expectations. The team really came together and played hard.” Oak Hills is positioned to make a deep run this season, led by an experienced group of upperclassmen. Northern Kentucky commits Emily Tirey and Shelby Wall lead the way. “We have great leadership, not just from our seniors, but really the whole varsity team has shown great leadership,” head coach Kevin Spraul said. “We’ve had younger players playing big roles for us the past few years, and now that group of players are now in their prime years as junior and seniors.” With Summit Country Day moving up, Division III contenders are excited for the opportunity to dodge the Silver Knights juggernaut in the postseason. Cincinnati Country Day, Madeira, and Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy are the top teams vying to keep the D-III title in Cincinnati. CCD returns to D-III after competing in D-II last year. The Indians have posted a 36-4-3 mark over the past two seasons. “We are very excited to keep building on the success of the last couple years,” said head coach Theresa Hirschauer. “We have a strong group of seniors who will bring great leadership and experience on the field.” Division II is more than a two-team race. Mariemont will be boosted by the return of starters Ava Dorsten and Kami Spang, both of whom missed the 2017 season with injury. McNicholas will be led by juniors Mackenzie Burdick and Allison Vaughn. The combined program at Mercy McAuley could turn heads in its first year. More players to watch Alexis Goins, Fairfield, midfielder The first team all-state player will lead a talented Indians team. Morgan White, Fairfield, forward She’s another senior all-state performer who pairs with Goins on the attack. Maddy Pittman, Harrison, forward - She scored a school-record 34 goals and added 14 assists last year. Lawson Renie, Cincinnati Country Day - The junior has scored 46 goals in her first two seasons. Katelyn Setters, Cincinnati Country Daydefender - The all-state defender protects the net, while Renie finds it on the other end. Laney Huber, Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy - The four-year starter is on pace to graduate with 100 career goals. Sarah Reddington, Oak Hills - She was first team all GMC in 2016 before she tore her ACL in 2017.

Grace Maziar, Bishop Fenwick, junior setter – Closing in on 2,000 career assists, 500 career digs and 100 career aces for the Falcons. Marie Plitt, Loveland, senior middle hitter/setter – Last season’s Eastern Cincinnati Conference Player of the Year.

Corinne Wilson, Loveland, senior libero – Led the ECC in digs last season. Chloe Wolf, Kings, sophomore middle hitter – First-team all-ECC as a freshman last season. Samantha Wolf, Mount Notre Dame, senior outside hitter – Finished fourth in the GGCL last season with an average of 3.54 kills per game.

Adam Turer Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati dominated Ohio girls soccer in 2017, claiming state championships in all three divisions. The same three teams will not be able to repeat this year. With a move up to Division II, reigning Division III champ Summit Country Day will need to oust defending D-II champion Indian Hill in order to win another state title. Indian Hill will again be led by senior Anna Podojil. The forward claimed every state player of the year honor following her junior season in which she scored 38 goals. The All-American may not be back in time for the Sept. 8 showdown with SCD, as she recovers from an ACL tear suffered during club play following the 2017 season. If the Arkansas commit is at full strength in time for tournament play, the Indians will again be favored to win the D-II championship. As she rounds into form, younger sister Ellie Podojil, also a Razorbacks commit, and Claire deHamel will lead a squad that boasts nine returning starters. To repeat last year’s success, the team will rely on underclassmen to emerge as more confident contributors. “They are all hard workers and set high standards for the team,” head coach Amy Dunlap said. “We are hoping some of our younger players can step up and make big contributions, notably sophomores Megan O’Brien and Faye Hardek, both of whom were instrumental as role players in our championship run last year.” Summit Country Day is looking forward to the challenge, led by Tennessee commit Colleen McIlvenna and Iowa State commit Kennidy Belle. Both players scored game-winning goals during last year’s tournament run. McIlvenna’s name will be all over the program’s record books by the time this season ends. While Indian Hill may be the team to beat, the Silver Knights are poised to make their mark playing up a level. “We have a hunger to remain on top of the state rankings with many new players ready to show that they are able to fill roles that have opened with the departure of several very important players, including three playing in college,” said head coach Michael Fee. “The team is also eager to prove that they can compete in D-II.” Fee will coach his 350th game, which will mark exactly half of the games in program history, Sept. 20. He hopes to guide the team to its third state semifinal in the past four season. Loveland won the Division I state title and returns 11 players from that team, 16 from the postseason roster. The midfield, led by Brooke Harden, Emily Kubin, and Jordan Morrison will be the key to the Tigers’ success this season. Harden enters her fourth year as a starter. She has led Loveland to a record of 59-6-2, two state finals appearances, and a regional final appearance. The Xavier commit will finish as the program’s all-time assists leader. Veteran depth is important, and the team will also benefit from the addition

Rotary honors valor, service in sheriff’s office Three deputies who disarmed a gunman who had just shot two co-workers in an Anderson Township restaurant were among six members of the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office honored by the Rotary Club of Cincinnati on Aug. 16. The 2018 Rotary Awards honored members of the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office for significant achievement in administration, education, valor and service. Honorees were: ❚ Hero/Valor: Deputies Nicholas Rauen, Lawrence Mehn and Jeffrey Landis. ❚ Administrative Excellence: Deputy Robert Weber of Court Services. ❚ Superior Achievement: Major Chris Ketteman, Director of Corrections. ❚ Career Enhancement: Capt. Scott Kerr, of Corrections. “It is an honor to pay tribute to the dedicated men and women on the front lines who keep our community safe,” said Rotary Awards program coordinator Trish Smitson of Hyde Park. The 2018 Hero/Valor Award was presented to Deputies Nicholas Rauen, Lawrence Mehn and Jeffrey Landis. On Dec. 13, 2017, Deputies Rauen, Mehn and Landis, without firing a shot, disarmed and captured a gunman who had shot two co-workers at a McDonald’s Restaurant in Anderson Township and was threatening to shoot himself. The deputies confronted the gunman, who had shot his ex-girlfriend in the head and face and had shot the McDonald’s manager in the back. The deputies calmed the gunman and convinced him to lay down his gun. They took him into custody, gave aid to the seriously injured victims until medical personnel arrived, searched the building for additional victims and suspects and secured the area as additional officers arrived. Rauen, Mehn and Landis calmed a chaotic scene, dealing with frightened witnesses that included workers and customers. In their nominations, Rauen, Mehn and Landis were commended for “quick

thinking and decisive actions (that) prevented additional harm to the suspect, victims or the public.” The Administrative Excellence Award was presented to Deputy Robert Weber of Court Services. “Deputies serve in all the Common Pleas court rooms and provide security, which means they deal with a lot of ﬁghts and violent situations,” said presenter Maj. Walt Hendrick of Court Services. He said Deputy Weber has received scores of commendations and is known for his decisive action and quick response to calmly resolve tense situations. Weber received a Squad Commendation for assisting in the arrest of an inmate who had escaped custody and a divisional Commendation for assisting a Harrison police oﬃcer who was struggling with a violent suspect. “He inspires people around him to do their job, do it well and do it professionally,” Hendrick said.

The Superior Achievement Award was presented to Major Chris Ketteman, Director of Corrections. In his 30 years with the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office, Major Ketteman has received 54 letters of commendation. He has worked in the Patrol and Criminal Investigation services and was commander of District Three, which includes Columbia, Sycamore and Symmes Townships. In 2017 he was named Director of Corrections, overseeing myriad programs to help prisoners successfully re-enter society, including adult education, literacy, addiction recovery, veterans programs, and jail ministry programs. With a daily average of 1,524 inmates, Ketteman determined that inmate overpopulation created an unsafe environment for staff and inmates. Ketteman implemented multiple strategies to improve the situation, including transferring inmates to jurisdictions that could accommodate them, housing inmates in

double cells when possible, and relocating several non-custodial services to free more space for housing. His insight resulted in the Hamilton County Commissioners authorizing funds to refurbish existing space within the jail to increase housing capacity The Career Enhancement Award was presented to Captain Scott Kerr, of the Corrections department. In May, 2018, Kerr became the first supervisor from the Jail Services Section of the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office to graduate from the rigorous Administrative Officers Course at the Southern Police Institute. He was named a Dean’s Scholar, indicating students who receive an “A” or better in every course in the 12week college-level program. The course is designed to develop informed, effective, ethically and technically competent law enforcement managers. Courses focus on law enforcement issues, diagnostic problem solving and administrative law. Applicants must pass an exhaustive entrance exam. Only a select number are accepted, and must relocate to Louisville for the 12-week program. In nominating Kerr, Director of Corrections Maj. Chris Ketteman said “Captain Kerr is the future of law enforcement and he, now, has a valuable tool at his disposal as he directs the next generation of deputies for the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office Jail Services Section.” The Rotary Club of Cincinnati initiated the Rotary Awards more than a decade ago to honor excellence in key public service professions. Awards honor members of the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office (August), Cincinnati Firefighters (October), Cincinnati Police (April) and Cincinnati teachers (June). The Rotary Club of Cincinnati was founded in 1910 as a service and networking organization. With close to 350 members, it is the largest Rotary Club in Greater Cincinnati.

Four Great Oaks associates were honored by the Ohio Association for Career and Technical Education (OACTE) in Columbus for their dedication towards advocating for not only Great Oaks, but career-technical education. Brian Marimon of Green Township was named the Post-Secondary Teacher of the Year. Marimon is an Automotive Collison instructor for Great Oaks and an ambassador for all high school and adult programs at Great Oaks. As a graduate of the Automotive Collision program, Brian is passionate about career-technical education. Before coming to Great Oaks, Marimon gained experience at a local automotive dealership and with an aerospace company. Once he returned to Great Oaks to teach, he quickly became involved in advocating for the district. Marimon organized for Great Oaks to have a booth at the Cavalcade for Customs trade show in southwest Ohio. This booth showcases outstanding students’ work from multiple different programs. Jen Frith from Morrow was honored by OACTE as an Outstanding New Career and Technical Teacher. Frith has only been with Great Oaks for a short period of time but has revitalized the law enforcement program at Great Oaks. Before Frith came on board, the law enforcement program was experiencing low enrollment. Frith recommended changes to curriculum and got her students more involved in the community. Frith was the first female patrol officer for the city of Deer Park before becoming an instructor at Great Oaks. She keeps in contact with her colleagues so that her students can be connected to local professionals while they are still in school. Her work with the program and the students has improved passage rates for professional certifications and got many new students involved with SkillsUSA.

87,100 meals were packed at Solve 7 Sunday. Those meals will be sent to Swaziland.

More than 150 children received donated shoes; 250 back-to-school pencil packs were prepared; 300 backpack club bags were packed; and 25 counselor bags for children were created and donated to Sayler Park and Miamitown Elementary.

Whitewater Crossing’s Solve 7 Sunday brings out 800 volunteers It’s back to school – and the beginning of this school year is off to a great start for multiple local schools and families. In part, that’s due to more than 800 local volunteers who came together at Whitewater Crossing Christian Church’s event, Solve 7 Sunday, held on Aug. 12. In the service event, inspired volunteers gathered to work on a variety of projects to make a difference in local and global communities. Projects ranged from building a home with Help Build Hope in partnership with the Habitat for Humanity to packing 87,100 meals to be sent to Swaziland. “Solve 7 Sunday was a day like no other that we’ve had at Whitewater. It was an awe-inspiring experience to be a part of, serving our community and our world, together with one another,” said Shannan Davis, outreach and equipping director at Whitewater Crossing. “Many lives will be touched by the efforts from Solve 7 Sunday, including those who attended,” said Davis. With children heading back to school this week, volunteers helped to clean, prepare and paint classrooms at Miamitown Elementary. More than 150 children received donated shoes; 250 back-to-school pencil packs were prepared; 300 backpack club bags were packed; and 25 counselor bags for children were created and donated to Sayler Park and Miamitown Elementary. Solve 7 Sunday culminated a summer-long service project. Davis explained that it was also a day that successfully showed “faith in action.” Solve 7 Sunday attendees spanned from Gen Alpha to Baby Boomers, according to Davis. The efforts from Solve 7 Sunday will have great reach: more than 400 welcome bags for foster care children were created; 300 shoes were sorted; more than 650 encouragement card were written; and 50 encouragement paintings were also made during the event. Additionally, 170 lunches for home-

less ministries were delivered to Faith Fellowship, BLOC and Whitewater Crossing attenders. More than 200 toiletry bags and approximately 300 blessing bags were packed; 25 care bags were made for the women of Alabaster; 300 homeless blessing bags were created; about 25 local lawns were mowed; and hundreds of bags of clothes were sorted. The event, held on Whitewater Crossing’s campus in Cleves, Ohio, was unique in that it replaced regular service. “It may not have looked like the regular service people are used to attending on Sunday, but we set out to worship with our hands instead of our voices.” Jen Kiefer, a teacher at Miamitown Elementary and a Whitewater Crossing attender, said she was grateful to have 38 volunteers committed to helping the school be fully prepared for the start of the school year. “I have been getting my classroom ready for 19 years now, and this year goes down as one of the most amazing years of all,” said Kiefer. “We had people stapling, cleaning, stuﬃng folders, setting up computers and even painting. The hallways are so much cleaner and brighter, and it is all because these people gave their time to Solve 7,” Kiefer said.

Solve 7 is a larger Whitewater Crossing initiative focused on solving seven of the biggest problems in the local community and around the world. The initiative helps to remove barriers—often physical ones—in someone’s life, in order to create more spiritual opportunities in his or her future. All summer (and regularly throughout the year), Whitewater Crossing attenders have been helping others across Solve 7’s focus areas: feeding the hungry; teaching the uneducated; clothing the poor; ﬁnding the forgotten; healing the sick; housing the homeless; and rescuing the slaves. “With an underlying theme of ‘help-

ing people,’ Solve 7 Sunday marked the high point of that focused service journey this summer,” said Davis, who explained that Solve 7 has dozens of passionate partners and ministries who are also involved. “People are understanding this is about helping others and making a difference while cultivating hope. Solve 7 Sunday was a great example of a day that did just that,” she said.
