‘Hood Sanctuary’ planned for West End focusing on history of Black neighborhoods Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Jerald Cooper isn’t formally trained as an architect, but through Instagram, he has been calling attention to midcentury modern design and preservation in Black neighborhoods. “I saw this midcentury home that I had grown up on the street with and I thought, man, I don’t think my people know about this stuff ,” Cooper said. “If we don’t know about the biggest assets in our neighborhoods, then how can we properly protect our neighborhoods?” He was walking down a street in College Hill when he noticed slanted, A-line roofs. It got him thinking, and thus, @hoodmidcenturymodern was created last November. The Instagram page documents and showcases buildings and homes that are in historically Black neighborhoods or have been featured in Black entertainment. The page now has 17,000 followers. Sure, Cooper is not an architecture and design expert, but he does not claim to be. He simply turned a personal hobby of studying architecture and buildings into a platform. Lately, the page also includes houses and images from classic Black movies and music videos. As a child, Cooper attended Revelation Baptist Church, which was recently sold to FC Cincinnati and demolished. Cooper recovered a lot of the pews and furniture from the church and plans to sell them later to benefi t the church. After a few months of planning and reaching out, Cooper has partnered with the Contemporary Arts Center for the West End Project. The current home of the project will be at 1800 Freeman Ave. and will be known as the “Hood Sanctuary.” Cooper has a lot of plans for the building, including mental health services, a saloon and coff ee fl oor. There will also be archives, community meetings and performances in the building. The West End Project will be off ering tours for the next three months that look at the ways hip-hop, pop culture, design, architecture and urban planning collide in the neighborhood. Local historians, activists and artists will join Cooper on the tours and host discussions. With race-related protests nationwide, Cooper and the Contemporary Arts Center saw a chance to really talk about the West End and how it was remembered, the ways it was preserved and how it has continued to change. “I want people to understand the his-

The "Hood Sanctuary" will be used to showcase furniture, act as an office for Dr. Calisha, a psychiatrist focused on self-care for the community and an archive of West End history.

tory,” Cooper said. “I don’t want to place blame on anyone. It hasn’t been the most civic, sort of in-your-face thing, to remember the neighborhood that was. I wanted to give people the opportunity to learn more.” Some stops on the tour will be the Avery Row House, the former KenyonBarr neighborhood (now called Queensgate) and the Laurel Homes Historic District and Lincoln Court. The ﬁ rst tour was on Sept. 12, but more will be oﬀ ered in the next few months. Tickets and reservations are required for the tour due to the pandemic and are available at contemporaryartscenter.org/calendar. Social distancing and masks will also be required. CAC will be releasing audio from the tours.

Arrest made in shooting of Airbnb handyman Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Delhi Township man was arrested Sept. 16 in connection with the shooting of an Airbnb handyman last month who was trying to break up a party. Bryon Prather, 46, is charged with felonious assault. Police have not said if Prather was actually the man who shot handyman Stephen Knight on Aug. 16. Court documents state Prather was a “primary aggressor” in a group of 10 to 12 people who attacked Knight. Airbnb has been attempted to crack down on unauthorized parties, which are against its policies designed to stop the spread of COVID-19. Local Airbnb hosts have reported incidents of property destruction and even violence related to parties, and even Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot Isaac has said that these parties are likely happening because bars are closing early. Isaac urged the city to lift the 10 p.m. last call after he said several shootings occurred at these unauthorized and unregulated parties. The Aug. 16 party took place in Pendleton Airbnb rented by Jeron Prather, the nephew of mayoral candidate Kelli Prather. Police said Knight came to break up the party, but was backed into a wall, punched and beaten. “Knight ﬁ red a single shot from his .380 pistol into the wall in an attempt to stop the assault, but was then shot in the back by one of his attackers,” court documents state. Jeron and Kelli Prather both say that it was Knight who was the aggressor. “The party was not rowdy,” Kelli Prather said. “If Stephen thought there was a problem he should have brought the police. He came and put a gun to my family members.” Jeron Prather acknowledges that the party – for his mother’s birthday – was likely in violation of Airbnb rules.

A handyman was shot trying to break up an Airbnb party in the 1300 block of Broadway in Pendleton. THE ENQUIRER

“I don’t think a lot of people who rent Airbnbs always follow the rules. They have parties. To me it was like a hotel, you have a couple people upstairs,” he said. “From my understanding we were in violation of the rules.” He said that his group had already been asked to leave by another man and they were packing up when Knight arrived. The owner of the property, Chris Hikel, said Jeron Prather had asked to rent the property for a few friends visiting on business. Hikel said when he learned of the party, he reached out and told them to shut it down, but that Jeron Prather refused, telling him to call the police. Knight spent more than a week in the hospital following the shooting and was then moved to a rehabilitation center where he had to learn to walk again, his father told The Enquirer. Bryon Prather’s relationship to Jeron and Kelli Prather is unclear at the time of this report. He was being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center awaiting a hearing Thursday, when this article was originally published.

Deadly Westwood ﬁ re leads to arson charges Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A man was set for arraignment Sept. 11 on two counts of aggravated arson for a fi re in Westwood that took the life of a 64-year-old man last year. Jamal Rashid, 35, of Walnut Hills, was set to appear in Hamilton County Municipal Court on charges fi led by the Cincinnati Fire Department on Sept. 10, the day he was arrested and jailed. The fi re department said in a press release about Rashid’s arrest that the charges stem from a fi re at a multi-family dwelling at 3205 Gobel Ave. on Nov. 19, 2019. “(Firefi ghters) had to aggressively attack and extinguish the fi re in the entryway, which allowed fi refi ghters to search the fi rst-fl oor apartment and res-

cue a male victim,” the release said. “Unfortunately, the male victim succumbed to his injuries sustained during the fi re.” Municipal court records identify the victim as Charles Eason. He was hospitalized and died six days after the fi re. A Cincinnati fi re specialist said in criminal complaints fi led in court that the charges against Rashid are based on the fi re scene investigation, photographic evidence, witness statements “and a statement of admission by (Rashid).” A fi rst-degree aggravated arson charge was fi led against Rashid for the death of Eason and a second-degree aggravated arson charge was fi led against Rashid for harm done to the occupied, multi-family dwelling, the complaints show.

FC Cincinnati stadium: Latest peek, season tickets now on sale Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The seats were getting ready to be installed last week at FC Cincinnati’s new West End Stadium – just as most of them are going on sale. Deposits on reserved seating ticket sales began Sept. 14 as construction workers inside the stadium prepped for adding seats. It remains on track to open in March 2021. The scoreboards are installed and the grand staircase leading from Central Avenue into the stadium is under construction. The stadiums’ nearly 4,500 club seats, which went on sale in May, are basically sold out, except for a few of the most expensive seats in the most luxurious of the clubs, Tunnel Club ($10,000 for the season), and some individual seats. Beginning Sept. 14, through Oct. 16, fans can place a $50 deposit for 2021 season tickets in the 26,000-seat stadium. Prices start at $325 – less than $20 a game – for the 3,170 standing spaces in The Bailey (the same as in Nippert Stadium). They top out at $900 for the best reserved seats in the stadium. Minus club seating and The Bailey there are 18,000 seats, though all won’t be sold as season tickets. Single ticket sale information won’t come until 2021 when games are scheduled for the season. FC Cincinnati President Jeﬀ Berding during a media tour Sept. 14 pledged there is not a bad seat in the stadium.

Construction continues at FC Cincinnati’s new West End Stadium in West End on Sept. 14. The new stadium features a 360-degree canopy which covers every seat in the stadium. HANNAH RUHOFF

Unlike Nippert Stadium where the team plays now, every seat will be under a canopy, allowing fans to avoid any rain. Jeﬀ Smith, vice president of sales for the team, said the team is working with

the governor’s oﬃ ce to draw up a plan for potential coronavirus-related spectator limits. “The West End Stadium isn’t like any other sports or entertainment venue in

Cincinnati and I can’t wait for our fans to enjoy it,” Smith said. To reserve seats: www.westendstadium.com Deposit: $50, non-refundable

Prosecutor: Man indicted on murder after woman killed in Avondale Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A West End man was indicted Sept. 11 after Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters said he pushed a woman into a car and shot her multiple times. Joshua Gibson, 33, faces two counts of murder with gun specifi cations and one count of having weapons while under disability, according to court records. He is charged in connection to the death of Page Ashly Loree Jones, the 14th woman to be killed in Cincinnati this year. Deters said Gibson drove into a parking lot in the 3500 block of Burnet Avenue on Aug. 24 at approximately 10 p.m. People were gathered there. Gibson began talking with Jones’ girlfriend, and then got into a physical fi ght with Jones. Gibson pushed Jones’ head into a car and shot her multiple times, according to Deters’ press release. Cincinnati Police responded to the scene in Avondale after multiple shots were detected by ShotSpotter, a gunshot detection system. Once at the scene, offi cers said they found the car Gibson had been driving with the engine still running. Gibson had fl ed.

ical Center by private conveyance. Jones died at the hospital. She was 27. Police later issued a murder warrant for Gibson and claimed he had an “extensive criminal history,” including weapons and drug charges. He was ar-

rested and booked in the Hamilton County Detention Center on Sept. 1, and was being held on a $1 million bond when this article was originally published. Gibson was also wanted on a domes-

tic violence charge after police said he struck another woman in the eye with the butt of a handgun after she asked for child support payments, according to court records. On Sept. 11, Deters announced Gibson’s indictment and said if Gibson is convicted on all three charges, he faces 18 years up to life in prison. “This has been a terrible period of gun violence for our community but we must never become numb to it. Each case is tragic, and each new victim leaves yet another family heartbroken and devastated by the senseless act of violence,” Deters said. “My goal as your Hamilton County Prosecutor is to keep our community a safe place to live. I will continue to work with the police and community to do whatever we can to reduce gun violence and maintain the quality of life we expect and enjoy in this community.” Gibson is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 15, court records state. Since Jones, one more woman has been killed in Cincinnati, marking 15 female homicides this year. Felisa Vanessa Tremble died Sept. 9 after she was shot in the West End. She was 53. Since 2000, the highest number of women killed in a single year in the city has been 14.

Ohio nursing home residents data taken by hackers Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Hackers have taken personal information including birthdates and names of some the residents of Ohio nursing home and senior living communities ran by Life Enriching Communities, according to a release from the company. The Loveland-based Life Enriching Communities operates Twin Towers in College Hill, a suburb of Cincinnati, Twin Lakes in Montgomery and Concord Reserve in Westlake, a city just

west of Cleveland. The senior living center operator is notifying the public since the taking of the information was a violation of the federal medical privacy law HIPPA. HIPPA is an acronym for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. The third-party data breach happened In May through the LEC Foundation, which receives donations on behalf of Life Enriching Communities. The third-party vendor, Blackbaud, Inc., was the victim of a ransomware attack,

according to the release. Blackbaud paid a ransom demand and received confi rmation the copy removed by the cybercriminal had been destroyed, according to the release. Blackbaud provides technology, software, donor databases and online hosting services for nonprofi ts including the LEC Foundation, according to the release. Blackpaud claims to have put in safeguards to prevent a similar attack by hackers in the future. LEC Foundation was notifi ed of the data breach on July 16, according to the

release, which said no ﬁ nancial information was taken, and social security numbers were not exposed. The backup ﬁ le of LEC clients that was taken included information including name, address, phone number, email address, date of birth (and/or date of death in the case of an estate gift), resident status, and various notes about some residents, according to the release. LEC Foundation has asked people who have questions or concerns to contact them by calling 513-719-3540.

Next Hamilton County commissioner must be equipped for the job Your Turn Herman Najoli Guest columnist

To ace the job of Hamilton County commissioner, one must be furnished with a rich depth of skills. I call these the ACE skills. Each letter stands for the fi rst letter of three skill categories. Indulge me over the next few months of the campaign as I fl esh these out, beginning with the end in mind. “E” stands for EQUIPPED and consists of eight categories of skills. Of the three candidates running for the seat formerly held by the late Mr. Todd Portune, I am the most EQUIPPED. Educated supporter: I have a bachelor’s in economics and commerce; two master’s degrees in organizational leadership and advanced leadership studies; and a doctoral degree in organizational leadership. In Hamilton County, 37% of residents have a bachelor’s degree. Of these, 22% have a master’s degree. Of those with advanced education, 4% have a doctoral degree. I have the educational acumen to energize our county and support robust learning. Qualifi ed successor: Research on succession systems has uncovered the foundational qualifi ers for those who succeed a long-term leader. I am most prepared to receive from the people the trust confi ded to my predecessor. I personally collected more than 9,000 signatures over a two-year period to petition for ballot access. I am a oncein-230-years kind of candidate. Unlikely settler: The greatest leaders come from unlikely places. Frans Johansson, in The Medici Eff ect, argues that innovation is led by intersectionalist leaders with ideas from diff erent cultural backgrounds. I will champion three-ring leadership concepts – combining ideas from suburban rings, small towns, and urban areas. I have the listening ear, loving heart, lifting hands, and laborious feet of a good leader.

Independent smarts: he commissioner must not be beholden to party politics. I am the fi rst nonpartisan independent to run for this role and have the most comprehensive platform. My smarts as a thinker, community builder and productivity champion shine through the four books and doctoral dissertation that I have published. I am fi ercely independent with a passion to work smarter for all. Public servant: I have served youth in Texas; taught in Colorado; supported individuals in Massachusetts; supervised homes in Tennessee; labored with youth in Nebraska; mentored students as a character coach in Cincinnati; empowered the homeless in Hamilton County; and served families in Kenya. Pioneering spirit: Among my pioneer instincts are fi rst absolute nonpartisan; fi rst African-American male; fi rst holder of a Doctoral degree in leadership; fi rst independent to succeed to be on the ballot for commissioner in the 230-year history of Hamilton County; and fi rst contestant to pick up petitions for the 2020 Hamilton County commissioner race in April 2019. I am a trailblazer. Engaging soul: I won the Forty Under 40 Award (2015) hosted by the Cincinnati Business Courier; have served on the WCPO Community Advisory Board; and the Hamilton County Tax Incentive Review Commission (TIRC). My book, “Public Servants in Government, Education, and Nonprofi t Sectors,” captures my heart for the power of good leadership in transformational work. Devoted shepherd: It is insightful to know a leader’s identity. I am a devoted shepherd to two children. In all interactions, I labor in love to edify, build and encourage others. As a leader, I relate with people sacrifi cially, honestly, ethically, purposefully, healthily, encouragingly, responsibly, and dutifully (SHEPHERD). I am the devoted shepherd that we need. Herman Najoli is a resident of West Price Hill and independent candidate for Hamilton County commissioner in November.

Have an abundance of tomatoes? Try roasted spicy tomato jam Roasted spicy tomato jam Different from tomato preserves, this is a sticky, sweet/hot/spicy jam perfect for spooning over soft cheese, mixed into mayo for a sandwich, or dolloped on shakshuka, scrambled eggs or omelets. Oh, and it’s nice in a tiny bowl on a charcuterie platter. And need I say it’s a perfect gourmet gift? I used all kinds of garden tomatoes. Any kind, as long as it’s real ripe, will do. Yield: About 6 cups Ingredients 5 pounds really ripe tomatoes, cored but not peeled, cut up very small 3 cups sugar or to taste ⁄ 2 cup lemon juice (can use half lime and lemon)

1 generous tablespoon grated ginger or ginger paste or more to taste 1 teaspoon cinnamon or more to taste ⁄ 2 teaspoon ground cloves

1 tablespoon salt 2-3 teaspoons red pepper flakes, to taste, or mashed chipotle peppers in adobo to taste (go easy here at ﬁ rst) 1 teaspoon ground coriander (optional but good) Instructions Mix everything together well. Preheat oven to 350. Pour into sprayed shallow baking pan. You can use one large roaster or a couple or so of 9x13’s.

Roasted spicy tomato jam. RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Well, this is the ﬁ rst year that I’ve almost run out of ways to use tomatoes. Are you in the same boat? Regardless of the way the plants/leaves look, most of us have had a bumper crop. I’ve preserved more tomatoes this year than I ever have in the past. From freezing tomatoes (I have a vacuum sealer now and just love it), both cherry and regular

without blanching, to roasting with and without seasoning, to making pasta sauces, and ﬁ nally, to making tomato jam. Apparently you’ve been blessed with lots of tomatoes, too, so I guess that’s why the requests for this popular tomato jam have been coming in. This year, though, I wound up making the jam a bit diﬀ erent. Instead of stovetop and slow cooker, I roasted the jam in the oven. I didn’t have to fuss with it too much. Winner, winner! The great thing about this jam is you need really ripe tomatoes and any kind will do. This is where cracked, slightly bruised or “not perfect” tomatoes come in. Cut out the bad parts and you’re good to go. Here’s my updated recipe for tomato jam.

Roast, uncovered, stirring about every 30 minutes to redistribute juices as they reduce. Keep roasting and checking until the jam starts to jell and looks real sticky. This took about 2 or so hours in my oven. It may take less or longer in yours depending on the juiciness of the tomatoes and the pan size. Test by spooning a little on a plate. Let cool a bit and run your ﬁ nger through it. It should hold a path. Remove, let cool and adjust seasonings. Place into containers and cover. Refrigerate up to 6 months or so. For a pantry stable jam, pour into sterilized jars and process in boiling water bath. Check my abouteating.com site for instructions.

Parents and student athletes gather outside as they listen to a meeting via live stream outside of the Cincinnati Public Schools central office in the Mt. Auburn neighborhood of Cincinnati on Sept. 2. The board of education announced after its meeting that the district's sports programs would not resume until further notice, despite other schools in the region having begun last week.

Cincinnati Public Schools allows high school sports to resume Alex Harrison and Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Erin Upp, mother of a Walnut Hills soccer player, speaks to the Cincinnati board of education via video chat with athletes behind her.

In an online Cincinnati Public Schools board meeting Monday, Sept. 14, board members decided to resume extracurricular activities, including high school sports. A board member said, “Play ball,” as the vote was taken to allow athletics. In a special vote proposed by board member Eve Bolton, the school board voted to allow athletics to return. Last week, non-contact sports returned to full competition while contact sports began intra-district (CPS against CPS) games. Contact sports returned to full competition this week. “This is what we’ve been asking for this whole time,” said Erin Hawk Upp, a parent who has two kids who play sports for Walnut Hills. “While we might

only have less than half a season, at least our kids will be able to play games. My reaction was good. “The frustration level (from parents and athletes) was at a 10 out of 10. We have been practicing since June, we’ve been following all of the guidelines and there’s been no transmission through athletics. Sports around the city, except for our district, have been played for at least three weeks with just a few cancellations here and there — not a signiﬁ cant amount. The data is showing that it is safe to play.” The board debated about wearing masks, tabling further discussions for later. No spectators will be allowed, but they expect to make special accommodations for individuals on business, like college coaches on a recruiting trip.

Area talent tops Big 10 football preview Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Big Ten is offi cially back after the conference recently decided on an eight-game regular-season beginning in October. It’s no secret the Big 10 is fi lled with quality quarterbacks, a group highlighted by Ohio State University signal-caller Justin Fields, who is expected to be a top fi rst-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and is one of the favorites to win this year’s Heisman Trophy. Fields is the top returning player in the conference, according to Pro Football Focus. But PFF also lists Elder High School alum Peyton Ramsey and Ryle High School product Tanner Morgan as the No. 2 and No. 3 players, respectively in the Big 10 this fall. In 2019, Morgan had the highest single-game passing grade for a quarterback against a Power 5 school when he completed 18-of-20 passes for 339 yards and three touchdowns in a 3126 victory over Penn State.

In PFF’s fi nal college football starting quarterback rankings of the season, Morgan ranked No. 7 in the nation. The redshirt sophomore fi nished with a single-season school record 3,252 yards and 30 touchdowns, leading the Golden Gophers to an 11-2 season and a 31-24 victory over Auburn in the Outback Bowl. As a senior at Ryle, Morgan threw for 2,747 yards and 27 touchdowns, leading the Raiders to a 12-1 record and an appearance in the Class 6A state quarterfi nals. Morgan was a fi nalist for Kentucky’s Mr. Football award. Ramsey, who transferred to Northwestern in March, helped lead Indiana to an 8-5 record with 2,454 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2019. The tandem of Michael Penix Jr. and Ramsey was ranked 12th in the country by Pro Football Focus. At Elder, Ramsey was twice named the Greater Catholic League-South Player of the Year and led the Panthers to three consecutive postseason appearances.

Who ranks as the best in Cincinnati’s boys volleyball? Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

When the Ohio High School Boys Volleyball Association hosted its ﬁ rst state tournament in 1988, it took seven more years for a Greater Cincinnati school to win a state title. Lebanon broke through in 1995, setting oﬀ two decades of dominance by Cincinnati teams. Since Lebanon’s 1995 championship, Centerville’s back-to-back titles in 2001 and 2002 marked the only time two seasons without one of Greater Cincinnati’s high schools bringing home a state championship. Here are some teams that could be the best state champs from each school that has won a title: Elder, Moeller, St. Xavier, Fenwick and Lebanon.

Fenwick - 2013 Since Ohio boys volleyball started naming Division II state champs in 2011, only Yoon Ha’s Fenwick team has taken the championship at that level. Fenwick went 23-2, losing once each to Division’s Moeller and St. Xavier. The Falcons beat Walsh Jesuit in the state fi nals. Walsh Jesuit, who hosted the state tournament, won the fi rst game 25-19 before Fenwick won three-straight, 2725, 27-25, 25-18 for the title. Jeff Fiorenza was the Division II Player of the Year. Ryan Koehlke was a FirstTeam All-Conference selection and Ha took Coach of the Year honors.

Mike Wauligman returns a shot during volleyball practice at Elder High School. Elder is the defending state champions in volleyball. STEVE SHAFFER

Elder - 2008

A 2005 graduate of Purcell Marian, Holt was First-Team All-Ohio twice, including his senior season when he was named the Ohio Player of the Year. Holt played in college at Penn State where the Nittany Lions were national runner-up in 2006 before going 30-1 and winning the national championship in 2008. Holt was Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association First Team AllEast in each of his four seasons at Penn State and was a two-time All-American. Holt ended his career with 1,112 kills, a .494 hitting percentage and a schoolbest 207 service aces. After playing on the U.S. Men’s Junior National Team in 2006 and 2007, Holt continued playing in world championships and was a part of the 2016 Olympic team that won a bronze medal.

A perfect 29-0 record and a state title over Greater Catholic League-rival St. Xavier helped the Panthers recover from a state runner-up the season before. Not a single match went to ﬁ ve games and teams only took the Panthers to four games seven times. Craig Wessels was First Team AllState named the state’s Player of the Year after notching 795 assists during the year. Andrew Wessels and Alex Bertke also received All-State honors. Head coach Sean Tierney was the Ohio Coach of the Year just one year removed from receiving a heart transplant that left him sidelined for Elder’s 2007 state run.

Moeller - 2007 Speaking of 29-0 seasons, Moeller’s 2007 squad wants it to be known that they were fi rst. The Crusaders fi nished without a single blemish, fi nishing off Elder in fi ve games for the 2007 state title, Moeller’s third title in four seasons. The Crusaders rocked with 12 seniors, including Lee Meyer, who was the state player of the year and played at Ball State, and Dan Brandel who played at Ohio State.

Cincinnati didn’t just produce trophies; it also produced players who reached success in collegiate, professional and even Olympic competition. Here’s a collection of some of Cincinnati’s top boys volleyball products.

Max Holt, Purcell Marian

Steven Kehoe, St. Xavier

In 2006, St. Xavier won the second of its three-overall titles, beating two-time reigning champs Moeller in the ﬁ nals. The Bombers swept the Crusaders 2520, 29-27, 25-22 to ﬁ nish the season 26-2, losing to just Moeller and Elder in the regular season. The Bombers were led by the state Player of the Year, Steven Kehoe, and Brian Kues who were First-Team AllConference picks. Chandler Bell and Drew Kurtz were also All-Conference selections and head coach Bill Ferris was Coach of the Year.

A 2006 state champion for the Bombers and a 2011 national champion for Ohio State, Kehoe got his ﬁ ll on team and individual accolades. As a Bomber, Kehoe was the 2006 Player of the Year in the Greater Catholic League, the Southwest Region and Ohio. Kehoe was a First-Team All-GCL selection in 2005 as well, but his biggest accomplishments came as a Buckeye. In the 2011 national champ season, Kehoe was Ohio State’s Male Athlete of the Year, the only volleyball player to receive the school-wide award. Kehoe was also the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association Player of the Year in 2010 and 2011 and was an AVCA Second Team All-American in 2010 and FirstTeam pick in 2011. He was a First-Team All-MIVA pick in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Kehoe’s performance that led to Ohio State’s national title made him the NCAA Championship Most Outstanding Player and put him on the NCAA All-Tournament team while winning the Big Ten Medal of Honor.

Lebanon - 1995

Mike Wauligman, Elder

The trendsetters. Lebanon won Greater Cincinnati’s ﬁ rst boys volleyball title and then did it again in 1996. In the sport’s early days, Lebanon ended 1995 with a 34-0 record and won 10 more consecutively to open the next year. Wes Marchione, an All-State setter in 1995, led Lebanon in both titles. Lebanon topped Buckeye Trail for the state championship in 1995, avenging a state ﬁ nals loss the season before. Lebanon was led by a group of volunteer coaches, Bob McLain the head coach and Larry Bone an assistant.

Behind Wauligman, the Elder Panthers went 51-1 in two seasons, clinching the 1999 and 2000 state championships. In his 1999 junior season, Wauligman was a Second-Team All-State selection with ﬁ rst-team honors in the region, city and GCL.

ics Manager Josh Hardin were scheduled to make a decision on those arrangements and later allowance of spectators. “A decision regarding spectators will be forthcoming,” was the oﬃ cial response sent after the meeting by Com-

munications Oﬃ cer Frances Russ. They discussed returning to athletics sparingly throughout the meeting, but ﬁ nally, Bolton proposed the vote, which easily passed. Meanwhile, the return to in-person classes required a follow-up special meeting, but resuming sports passed without that additional meeting. In a meeting on Sept. 2, the school board said it would stick to its original plan of re-evaluating the beginning of

man in the program’s top-20 in both statistics. His 1,604 attack attempts were in Ohio State’s top-20 at the time of his graduation.

Gary Barnhart, Princeton Two-time All-Ohio selection in 1999 and 2000, Barnhart was a varsity player for Princeton in all four years. Barnhart’s time playing at Princeton was as the GCL schools started their decades-long run of dominating the state tournament. What makes Barnhart an interesting choice was his club volleyball career at Ohio Northern University. In 2002, Barnhart was an honorable-mention pick in the National Championship All-Tournament Team and was a fi rst-team selection in 2004 when Ohio Northern fi nished second nationally. His 1,246 kills are tops in the school’s career record book that is littered with Barnhart’s name. Barnhart is also second in hitting percentage, second in attack attempts, sixth in assists, fi fth in aces, second in solo blocks, second in block assists, top in kills per game and second in total blocks per game with even more to go. Barnhart owns three of the school’s fi ve best single-season kills entries.

Alex Vohland, Lakota West For Lakota West, Vohland was a twotime All-Greater Miami Conference First-Team pick, including being the conference’s Athlete of the Year in 2012. The 2012 Firebirds went 23-3, losing to eventual champion Moeller in the state semifi nals. Vohland went to Mount St. Joseph and in his sophomore season was the fi rst player in the program’s history to be named a Division III All-American. That year, Vohland was the Midwest Collegiate Volleyball League Off ensive Player of the Year. As a freshman, Vohland was the conference rookie of the year with another fi rst-team pick. He earned a second All-America honor in 2016. Vohland and his Mount teammate Brett Cooper (La Salle) were selected by USA Volleyball to compete in its Collegiate Beach Championships in 2017. The duo fell to UCLA’s second-seeded team in the tournament’s quarterfi nals.

Matt Harpenau, Elder Harpenau was named the Greater Catholic League Player of the Year in 2010 and First-Team All-Ohio when he helped lead the Elder Panthers to a state championship. Harpenau was also on the 2009 team that fi nished as the state’s runner-up after a fi ve-set loss to Moeller in the state fi nals. Harpenau played at Lees-McRae College and was a two-time All-Conference Carolinas selection, including a secondteam selection after having 385 kills his senior year which was the second-highest total in the conference. While helping coach junior varsity at Elder, Harpenau played in the professional National Volleyball Association.

Derek Kues, St. Xavier Ohio’s 2009 Player of the Year, Kues joined fellow St. Xavier Bomber Kehoe on

extracurriculars to the Sept. 14 meeting. “We all might want to rush back into what seems more normal, but unfortunately COVID-19 doesn’t aﬀ ord us the luxury of doing what might seem okay at this time,” board president Carolyn Jones said on the Sept. 2 meeting. “We’re not undermining choice in this matter, but rather deciding to make the best decision possible under these circumstances.” A protest including many CPS stu-

the 2011 Ohio State national champ volleyball squad. As a junior at St. Xavier, Kues helped the Bombers to a state runner-up fi nish in 2008 and a GCL title as a senior. That senior year, Kues was not just a fi rstteam pick in his conference, region and state, but the Player of the Year in all three areas. Derek played at Ohio State from 2010 until 2013, joining his brother Derek on the 2010 team. The Buckeyes won at least 19 games in each of Kues’ years, including the national championship in 2011 with a national semifi nal appearance the season before.

Nick Meyer, Moeller A three-year player for the Crusaders, Moeller was the state’s runner up in 2003, Meyer’s senior season. He was the GCL’s Player of the Year twice, a twotime All-State selection and was the Ohio Player of the Year as a senior while earning All-America honors. As a sophomore in 2005 at Ball State, Meyer was Second-Team All-MIVA and was a fi rst-team pick in 2006 and 2007. His career made him no stranger to Ball State’s record books. His 1,415 kills places him at fi fth alltime and his 369 games played is good for 15th. Meyer also places in the top fi ve in kills per game, matches with doublefi gure kills, matches with 20 or more kills, total attack attempts, service aces and service aces per game.

Robbie Klein, Moeller Klein racked up accolades at Moeller and Ohio State. Along with helping the Crusaders win the 2004 state championship, Klein was the GCL and Southwest Ohio player of the year and an All-Ohio selection. As a junior in 2003, Klein again was First-Team All-GCL, Second-Team Southwest Ohio and Third-Team AllOhio. After joining at Ohio State, Klein was second-team all-conference in 2007 and earned ﬁ rst-team nods in 2008 and 2009. He also made the MIVA All-Tournament team in 2006 and 2008. In Ohio State’s history, Klein is 10th for career kills with 1,227. Klein also has the sixth-most attack attempts, fourth-most in aces and ninth-most points for a Buckeye in his career.

Jason Tobkin, Fairfi eld Tobkin graduated from Fairfi eld in 2005 earning three First Team All-GMC selections with the 2004 and 2005 conference player of the year awards. His 2005 season ended with a Second Team All-Ohio pick after being honorable mention the year before. Tobkin took a year away from school after graduating from Fairfi eld. Tobkin chose to play at Ohio State and with his extra year, played on the 2011 national champion team. An MIVA All-Tournament pick in 2011, Tobkin was one of the best servers at Ohio State. He shares the single-game record, scoring eight service aces against Princeton in 2011. He places 19th in both career aces and aces per state for the Buckeyes.

dents, coaches and parents met at the Board of Education building on Sept. 2 to try and make a push for an earlier start to athletic seasons. Cincinnati Public Schools impacted by the decision included Walnut Hills, Aiken, Taft, Clark Montessori, Withrow, Western Hills, Hughes, Riverview East, Gamble Montessori, Woodward, Oyler, Dater, Shroder, the School for Creative and Performing Arts and Spencer Center.

ship, with the help of his daughter, recently created a candy chute ahead of Halloween. “I thought this would be a good year with every going on right now in the world to put something together,” explained Beattie. Put together with supplies from around the house, Beattie said they were able to create their candy chute in about 20 minutes.

“The intent is I will be having gloves or tongs and pulling out fresh candy from the bag and dropping it down the tube,” Beattie explains. “The little ones will hold their buckets or bags right here and it’ll fall in the bucket or bag.” Beattie even posted his creation on Facebook thinking it might help give someone else an idea on how to keep people safe on Halloween.

Library distributing free meals every Monday Since COVID-19 has changed how the current school year is functioning, thousands of students who rely on free lunches are in danger of going hungry. The Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library is partnering with UMC

Boxed meals and snacks distributed at the library. PROVIDED

Food Ministry, which has allowed the Library to provide free meals for youth during the summer and after school for several years. So far this year, the library has distributed more than 36,000 meals through these programs. Starting Monday, Sept. 14, the Cincinnati Library is a distribution point for boxed meal pick-up Mondays only from 3-5 p.m. Each box includes seven dinner meals and seven snacks. All items are shelf stable and ready to eat, with no refrigeration or additional preparation required. This program is open to all youth, up to age 18, and young adults ages 19-21 who are following Individualized Education Programs. Children do not need to be present at the meal pick-up. “The pandemic has increased the need in our community for healthy meals. Currently, one in four children in Hamilton County lives in a food insecure household, meaning they don’t always know where their next meal is coming from,” said Lisa Soper, Youth Services & Programming Coordinator. “Hungry kids are not able to focus on learning, which can cause them to fall behind their peers in school. Distributing meals is one of the many ways the Library supports the educational needs of children and teens in our community.”

Meal boxes are available at the following locations:* h Downtown Main Library h Avondale h Bond Hill h Corryville h Elmwood Place h Groesbeck h Madisonville h Mt. Healthy h North Central h Northside h Norwood h Pleasant Ridge h Reading h St. Bernard h Walnut Hills h West End h Westwood This service is made possible through federal funding, as part of the USDA’s Child and Nutrition Programs. For more information about eligibility, visit cincinnatilibrary.org/meals. For additional information about local eﬀ orts to combat food insecurity, or to ﬁ nd other food distribution programs, visit the Freestore Foodbank online or call 513-357-4600.

MaryEllen Uthlaut is a writer and homemaker in Charleston, S.C. Some years ago she was at her local library doing research for an article when she stumbled across a book about crosswords that had been misshelved. She checked it out, read it and started constructing. Her first-ever puzzle appeared in The Times in 2010. This is her third crossword for the paper and her first Sunday. — W.S.

SCHOOL NEWS School is back in session at Delhi Historical Society SCHOOLS of DELHI is now in session at the Delhi Historical Society. This new exhibition takes you through nearly two centuries of education in and around Delhi Township. Many schools have served the residents of Delhi Township dating back to the mid-19thcCentury. From a one room school built of logs to the sprawling modern brick and steel campus of Rapid Run Middle School, schools have long been a vitally important part of life in our community. Do you know what public high schools Delhi students attended before Oak Hills High School opened? Visit “Schools of Delhi” to fi nd out. Before there were white boards and Smart Boards, teachers and students used chalkboards to show their work to the class. At “Schools of Delhi.” you will be able to write your own messages on a chalk board and a slate tablet. Artifacts, photographs, and documents from our collections illuminate the story. Among the displays are four old school desks dating from the 1910s to the 1990s. These vintage school desks are waiting for you to sit in them at the “Schools of Delhi.” You can see an original architectural drawing of the old Williams Special School on Delhi Pike, created in 1898 by the renowned Cincinnati fi rm, Samuel Hannaford & Sons. A centuryold report card shows the student was promoted from third to fourth grade. Brief histories of more than two dozen schools which have served Delhi Township are featured throughout the exhibition. Visit and see if your school is included. The Delhi Historical Society is open Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. at 468 Anderson Ferry Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45238. Visits at other times can be arranged by calling (513) 451-4313 or emailing info@DelhiHistoricalSociety.org.

The Know’s new show will travel in back of pickup truck, oﬀ er voter registration Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Know Theatre of Cincinnati’s latest performance will be making its way across the Queen City in the back of a pickup truck. After opening the season digitally, “Fannie Lou Hamer, Speak On It” will be an outdoor, in-person theatrical experience that will visit parking lots in Price Hill, Downtown, Over-the-Rhine, Covington and more around the Greater Cincinnati area. In the spirit of the show and Hamer’s activism, the Know is partnering with the Greater Cincinnati Voter Collaborative to host voter registration drives at every performance. Performances will take place Sept. 23 through Oct. 3. “Fannie Lou Hamer, the midcentury activist for voting, civil and women’s rights, comes to life in ‘Fannie Lou Hamer, Speak On It!,’ a traveling production that recreates Fannie’s famous civil-rights rallies,” according to a press release. In the back of pickup truck, guests will hear Hamer’s journey from sharecropper to activist and listen to some of her favorite old-school spirituals. This will be a pay-what-you-can production. Advance tickets will be available for reservation for various donation levels at knowtheatre.com and donations will be accepted in cash or via PayPal or Venmo for those who walk up to the show.
