CANTON - La Salle High School is now 4-for-4 in state championship games as the Lancers handed Massillon Washington their fi rst defeat of the year in the Ohio Division II title game Thursday night, 34-17. Outnumbered crowd-wise by neighboring Massillon, the Lancer fans were the loudest of the 11,286 at the end. La Salle pounded the Tigers on the ground outgaining them 337-82. Junior quarterback Zach Branam led with 166 yards on 22 carries. “It felt amazing in this atmosphere,” Branam said. “They had a great crowd; we had a great crowd. Playing under the lights here was a special moment.” Sophomore Gi’Bran Payne added 133yards and senior Cam Porter fi nished his prep career with 57 yards and three touchdowns. For good measure, Jake Seibert tacked on a pair of fi eld goals to provide some fourth-quarter comfort. Payne and Porter doubled up on defense also. After playing in La Salle’s 2016 championship as a freshman, Porter’s La Salle swan song ended on a high note before he heads to play football for Northwestern. “This team reminded me a lot of the 2016 team,” Porter said. “We just came in and took care of business.” Off ensive line coach Tom Doerger, who rejoined the team after a Labor Day liver transplant, received many jubilant See CHAMPIONS, Page 2A

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Dec. 4. Much has been made of the distance the La Salle football team had to travel for Thursday’s Division II state championship game in Canton. La Salle’s 239-mile trek to Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium is substantial compared to its opponent, Massillon, which is located less than eight miles from the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But to the La Salle faithful, the distance is just another number. “We’re West-Siders; if we gotta walk, we’ll do it,” said Mike LaRosa, chief executive offi cer of LaRosa’s Pizza and a 1974 graduate of La Salle. “When they know it’s one of the GCL schools from Cincinnati, they know they’re gonna be in for a dog fi ght. I promise you, Massillon is going to see a dog fi ght on Thursday.” LaRosa played football for four years at La Salle, back when the school was just over a decade old. His senior season, the team fi nished 7-3 with losses to Moeller, St. Xavier and Oak Hills. “We certainly didn’t dominate football,” LaRosa said. “We had some very competitive teams before and after I went to school there, but they’ve certainly gathered up a full head of steam in the past 10 or 12 years or so.” A full head of steam would be a generous comparison. In the past six years, La Salle has been a top-seed freight train bulldozing down the tracks. Thursday marked La Salle’s fourth trip to the state title game in six years. They won three straight from 2014-16. “They have continued to just have this annual tradition where people are gonna know about La Salle on North Bend Road,” LaRosa said. LaRosa still keeps up on the program he played for over 40 years ago. He shares a similar mindset among West-Siders when it comes to high school athletics. “High school sports in this city are something of importance to most communities. We don’t have any Super Bowl rings and it’s been a long time since we were on Fountain Square celebrating a World Championship,” he See TRADITION, Page 4A

lin said. “Zach and G (Payne) and Cameron (Porter) are going to get the credit, but our line has been road-grading people.” Former La Salle coach Nate Moore, who now heads up Massillon Washington, agreed. “They’ve got a good group of kids that play really hard,” Moore said. “We struggled getting off blocks, especially with the outside zone. We didn’t do a good enough job tonight.” La Salle led 21-17 at halftime, then shut out the powerful Massillon off ense that had scored 40 or more points nine times this season. The Lancers fi nish the season 13-2 with a new piece of hardware coming to North Bend Road. After stopping La Salle on the fi rst drive, Massillon got inside La Salle’s 10yard line when Aidan Longwell hooked up with a wide-open Andrew WilsonLamp. The Lancers would hold the Tigers to an Alex Bauer fi eld goal.

La Salle wins the OHSAA Division II state ﬁ nal game at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Dec. 5. RAY STEWART/CANTONREP.COM

On their next drive, Branam’s 36-yard run got the Lancers in scoring position. Payne bulled fi ve yards originally ruled short of a touchdown. However, with the OHSAA using instant replay for the championship, offi cials eventually ruled Payne’s run a touchdown. On the fi rst play of the second quarter, La Salle’s Cole Hildebrand recovered a fumble by Massillon’s Terrance Keyes. That resulted in a Cam Porter 6-yard run to open the Lancer lead to 14-3. It wouldn’t last long as Longwell and the Tigers quickly moved downfi eld with the Kent State baseball commit hitting Ohio State football commit Jayden Ballard for a strike in the end zone. Minutes later, the Lancers made another march and Porter had another score, this one from 9 yards giving La Salle a 21-10 advantage. Before the half, Longwell would go long again, fi nding Wilson-Lamp streaking down the middle for a 69-yard score. A quiet third quarter became boisterous on the La Salle side when Massillon’s Zion Phifer fumbled with Max Roberto-Bailey recovering. Branam led the Lancers on another drive, which culminated in a third Cam Porter score and a 28-17 lead. Ohio State-bound kicker/receiver Jake Seibert then expanded the lead in

the fourth frame with a 43-yard bomb down Broadway, followed by a 38-yard crowd quieter. “I couldn’t have done it without my line, my snap and my holder,” Seibert said. “Without them, none of those would have been made.” Seibert’s boots provided for the 34-17 fi nal with the Lancers’ defense keeping Massillon Washington scoreless for the fi nal two quarters. “First half we gave up some busted coverages,” Jaymar Hargrove-Mundy said. “Second half, we said we can’t give up no more points. You see, we didn’t give up no more points.” Top tackler Luke Thiemann (7 and a sack) added, “We went into halftime and we fi xed it and that made a huge difference in the game.” La Salle drove 239 miles to play in the game, while Massillon Washington motored less than eight miles from their campus on Paul E. Brown Drive. No one seemed to care about the long drive home after hoisting another championship trophy.

said. “I think we can all cling to that time in our life. When I see La Salle where they are I’m just very, very proud of them because it certainly wasn’t always like that. It makes me proud to see the Lancers where they are.” The community is proud, too. Kate Hildebrand is the mother of La Salle senior safety, Cole Hildebrand. Her oldest son, Sam, graduated from La Salle in 2018 and is currently playing football at Bucknell University. On Thursday nights, Hildebrand welcomes the La Salle defensive backs to her home for dinner. In the summer, she and Cynthia Porter (mother of running back Cam Porter) are in charge of feeding the boys during two-a-days and were overwhelmed with the amount of willing donors. “I cannot tell you how many restaurants call and say, ‘hey, they’re a great group of boys. We would like to donate.’ We had so many people willing to donate food to use this year we had to push it off until next season,” Hildebrand said. Jodie Schoenling’s parents own Crossroads Sports Bar & Grill on Cheviot Road. Just a stone’s throw from Lancer stadium, the football team is a popular topic of discussion among patrons. “We all love it. It’s kind of fun to see them play hard, win games and see them do stuff that they worked hard all year for,” Schoenling said. “I think it brings us together as a community because we all rally together to root them on. I think it’s fun.” Schoenling said the team is easy to root for as it consists of kids who went to grade school in the area and have been raised as respectful young men. As Hildebrand points out, that’s a testament to their parents and the coaching staff that is involved year-round. “I don’t know if they’re good football coaches because I don’t know Xs and

Os, but they are good people,” she said. When oﬀ ensive line coach Tom Doerger went through chemotherapy and radiation for (PSC) primary sclerosing cholangitis in the summer, he had plenty of well-wishes from the community. He received a liver transplant in September. What makes the community so supportive? The tradition. La Salle graduates are still sprinkled all over Cincinnati’s West Side and most feel inclined to stay involved with that tradition long after they walked at graduation. “They come back, they donate their time, they work there — it’s a long tradition,” said Hildebrand, whose husband also brother-in-law also played at La Salle. There’s Mary Hoﬀ man, who can be found taking pictures at La Salle functions ranging from preseason scrimmages to City Barbecue-eating contests. Her husband, Ken, a La Salle

alum, comes back and cleans the stadium and cuts the grass. “They’re getting nothing for it, but they’re a part of something special,” Hildebrand said. “When you win, people probably come back more than if you didn’t win, but I think that’s just La Salle in general. People want to be involved; it’s a sense of pride.” Hildebrand’s oldest son spotted the Lancer diﬀ erence early on. He attended La Salle football summer camps in middle school and urged his parents to switch sides of Cincinnati. We told him, ‘Sam, do you realize you could go to La Salle and never see the ﬁ eld?’ He said, ‘I don’t care. There’s something special over there.’ So we ended up moving and it was the best thing for our boys,” Hildebrand said. Hildebrand explained how the La Salle football team is a shining light in a world so often permeated with negativity.

“Our world is so contentious right now and our community has rallied around these boys because — and this is gonna sound corny — they see a glimmer of hope. You see a very diverse group of boys from race and economic backgrounds coming together and kicking butt on the football ﬁ eld and they generally love each other.” As for the distance Thursday , don’t expect it to be used to justify anything from West-Siders hoping for a fourth state title in six years. “Like I said, if we gotta walk, we’ll do it,” LaRosa said. “It seems as if the powers that be protect the interest of teams from the northern part of the state. West-Siders are used to being frowned upon a little bit. I think it brings out the best in us.” Hildebrand added: “The core of the community is very blue-collar. It’s a hard-working mentality over here. We’re not running from anything and we’re not taking the easy way. We’ll play them at their home stadium, we don’t care. We’re not making any excuses.” “I don’t care if we only have family there,” Hildebrand said. “We’re gonna go there, we’re gonna give them our best shot and we’re gonna be proud win or lose.”

You might become a fan of fruit cakes Victorian Jewels (mini fruit cakes)

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

I’ve been getting requests for fruitcakes. Traditional, mini, fruitcakes that start with a spice cake mix, even “golden” (lighter texture and taste) fruitcakes. I have to admit this makes me smile. Now I’m not crazy about fruitcake, but do like a small piece. My husband, Frank, loves fruitcake. The kids are somewhere in between. Apparently readers like Maureen Grady, a Park Hills, Kentucky reader whose Mom came from England and every year would make fruitcakes, is like Frank. “She’d make marvelous Christmas fruit cakes, large, dark and rich, which she would pour bourbon or sherry over and wrap in cheesecloth.” Maureen and the other kids shelled black walnuts for the cakes around Thanksgiving. Now that’s a wonderful holiday memory. Here’s recipes for both little, and large, fruitcakes. If you’ve never made fruitcake, go ahead and try the mini ones. They’ve become a reader favorite. You might just become a fan. Check my website for the other fruitcakes mentioned.

These are so pretty and really delicious — just enough of a bite to savor that fruitcake craving. I like to marinate the fruits in brandy for a more authentic fruitcake taste. That’s optional, though. Ingredients 1 1⁄ 2 cups diced mixed candied fruits 1 1⁄ 2cups raisins (light and dark, including currants or your choice) ⁄ 2 cup brandy or apple juice plus extra for brushing on

⁄ 4 cup packed brown sugar

West Side’s popular postman and volunteer dies at 91 Scores of friends and family from across the country joined together in Delhi on Nov. 21 to celebrate the life of 91-year-old Charles “Butz” Burkhart. Family says he died of a broken heart, after recently losing his beloved wife of 69 years, Audrey “Toots” Burkhart. They were high school sweethearts and lived in Delhi since 1975. Charles was well known throughout the West Side for delivering mail to thousands of homes in Price Hill and Western Hills for 41 years, retiring in 1986. Last year he was awarded recognition from the National Association of Letter Carriers Association (NALC) for more than 70 years of loyBurkhart alty and integrity as a member. Loved ones traveled from California, Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina and throughout the Tristate to pay respects. Friends he developed over the years from his mail route also attended, including one who he met delivering mail in Price Hill in 1949, and was later a member of his golﬁ ng group in the 1990s. Charles started as a part-time letter carrier during WW2 as a junior at Elder High School in 1944. He would open up the Price Hill post oﬃ ce daily before school at 6 a.m., work for a couple hours before going to school, returning for a few hours after classes. His father, William, and two brothers were also letter carriers, viewed as a secure government job during those turbulent times. After graduating from Elder in 1946, he earned a full-time position delivering mail in Price Hill, later transferring to the Western Hills branch on Crookshank Road in the 1960s.

Batavia man sentenced to 25 years for bank robberies Segann March Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Batavia man was sentenced to 25 years in prison for robbing Cheviot Savings Bank and Cincinnatus Savings and Loan in 2015. In July, 52-year-old Bruce Lee Felix was convicted by a federal jury after a two-and-a-half-week trial. Felix used a gun to rob both banks, according to former U.S. Attorney Ben Glassman. The jury found Felix guilty of one count of bank robbery, one count Felix of armed bank robbery and one count of use of a ﬁ rearm during and in relation to a crime of violence. Felix was arrested on Feb. 4, 2017, in Batavia. Felix robbed the Cheviot Savings Bank, t 1194 Stone Drive in Harrison, at about 8 a.m. on June 17, 2015, according to court documents and trial testimony. He was wearing a mask and brandishing a gun when he surprised a maintenance man entering the back door of the bank, prosecutors said. Felix placed his gun to the maintenance man's head and demanded he open the vault. Felix zip-tied the man's hands behind his back and feet together and waited for the tellers to arrive. Once the tellers arrived, Felix ordered them to open the vault and remove the money. After that, he ﬂ ed. The jury also convicted Felix of robbing the Cincinnatus Savings and Loan on Springdale Road on Feb. 4, 2015. Felix jumped out of the bushes as two employees were getting ready to enter the bank around 8 a.m.

Charles “Butz” Burkhart and grandson shortly before his retirement in 1986. PROVIDED

He greatly expanded his contacts on the West side when he earned the position of “skipper,” regularly substituting for mail carriers on various routes. In this role, he delivered mail to thousands of homeowners served by the Western Hills branch for decades. As a result, he developed an encyclopedic knowledge of most families and house numbers throughout the area. Just give him a family name or street number in Western hills and he could describe in detail the home, family members, dog, etc. He was well known for his kind and outgoing manner. Burkhart was a classic example of the selﬂ ess work ethic of the “greatest generation.” He was known as a hard-working and fun-loving volunteer, good neighbor and dedicated family man. He was active with St. William’s Athletic Association when his children attended in the 1960s and ’70s, including a stint

as president. He also took on a second job running an afternoon paper route in Covedale for more than adecade, mentoring dozens of young paperboys. Some of them became lifelong friends. After retirement, he worked parttime at Delhi Garden Center for many years, where he cultivated his love of roses. Charles and his wife, Audrey, also volunteered as oﬃ cers of the River Squares square dancing group for many years, including terms as president and vice president. Charles was recently preceded in death by his beloved wife of 69 years, Audrey (Zapf) Burkhart. He is survived by his brother Clarence, “Moe” Burkhart, and children: Diane (Roger) Morris, Michael (Joan), Don “Art” (Nina), Jim “Jay” (Joyce) and Kevin (Debbie) Burkhart, 14 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.

Sports Elder fans were ready for awaited return to Canton fore defeating Springfi eld the next week to earn a spot in the fi nal against Pickerington Central. Back at the Dads’ Club meeting, recent grads and not-so-recent grads mingled to celebrate not just the past, but the present and the future. “One of the neatest things is watching the cheering section, the student body,” said Kevin Ludwig, the team videographer since 1998. “They’ve been crushing it every single week. It’s great to see the rest of the students embracing (the team), but also watching the crowds. We’re about 85 miles south of Piqua and we fi lled the whole stands up. That’s more than just the parents of the players going up. That’s a lot of the community going up to support these kids and what they’re doing.” That’s been the standard.

As Elder football coach Doug Ramsey stood in the school cafeteria narrating game fi lm Dec. 3, everybody in the room knew what was about to be played on the screens. “Here’s Sam (Harmeyer) with a perfect kick. There’s the bounce, bounce, bounce and big bounce where...” and that was all Ramsey could say before the crowd cheered and blocked out the head coach, currently in his 23rd season leading the Panthers. The Elder Dads’ Club meets every Tuesday night, and during football season, Coach Ramsey goes over the fi lm from the previous week’s game. The cafeteria was packed, more than usual, because it’s not every week the game being discussed is a state semifi nal victory. The crowd made itself known, jeering the offi cials, cheering on every interception and touchdown and exploding after watching Joe Royer recover Harmeyer’s onside kick attempt to help Elder beat Springfi eld 31-24 to advance to its fi rst state fi nal since 2008. Many were at Piqua watching the game, at home streaming or at some other establishment watching the Panthers. Each reaction was like watching it for the fi rst time. Can you really blame them? There’s a reputation about Elder and its fans that each person embraces, whether good or bad. Spoiled by consecutive titles early last decade, the Panther faithful waited for their team to fi nally get back over the hump. Seasons like the 2012 team that beat three state champions (Moeller, Highlands and Indianapolis Bishop Chatard) before losing in the second round to Colerain by one point in overtime left fans confi dent, but not satisfi ed.

losses to Colerain in the 2015 and 2018 regional ﬁ nals left sour feelings to otherwise successful seasons.

The 2019 season saw Elder and Colerain tangle again for the regional title. This time, Elder won 28-21 Nov. 22 be-

According to the OHSAA, the highest attended state fi nal in the 21st century was Elder’s fi rst appearance in 2002. The next highest was also Elder at the 2003 fi nal game. Both games were at Canton Fawcett Stadium. “I remember back in ‘02 and ‘03, there were a lot of good luck signs posted throughout Price Hill and Western Hills,” said Jerry McAdams, Elder’s Booster Club president. “It’s just nice to see that the community still shows up. Like at (Dads’ Club), the community shows up and the fans show up at the games, too.” As the booster club leader, McAdams sells tickets to games and split-the-pot tickets while conducting fundraisers. He experienced the community support fi rsthand and backed up the idea of strong support that even non-booster members could see. “The support is just as strong as it was in 2002 and 2003,” said John Rieder, a 1998 Elder grad. “The Elder community is a strong community and they’re going to be there to support their team.

La Salle seniors steered program back to Canton Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Dec. 4. Nearly one year ago, the La Salle football brass met early in the off season. The agenda? Start a plan that would right the ship of a disappointing 2018 season. On the heels of three-straight Division II state championships and a lastsecond loss in the 2017 regional fi nal, the Lancers fi nished 4-5 and missed the playoff s for the fi rst time since 2013. La Salle head coach Pat McLaughlin knew he needed to lean on his large group of seniors to steer the program back to prominence. “They understood it was their team,” McLaughlin said. “I think any team, whether it’s high school or college football, is gonna go as far as your seniors. For this senior class, it was important to

them. It’s been almost a year now since we had that meeting and since we started lifting. What they’ve done in leading the sophomores and juniors, it’s just a credit to them. They were committed from the beginning.” It worked. La Salle won the Greater Catholic League-South outright (something the program did just once over its threeyear championship run) and glided through four rounds of the playoff s, winning by an average of 30.2 points per game en route to Thursday’s Division II state title against Massillon at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. “Their (seniors’) leadership, especially in the off season, has helped get us to this point,” McLaughlin said. “Their eff ort, determination and hard work have never wavered, whether things were going well or going bad. It’s really a tribute to them as to why we’re still playing and have an opportunity to win a state championship on Thursday night.”

La Salle’s senior class is led by the usual box-score standouts like running back Cam Porter, who has played varsity all four years. The Northwestern commit was the Co-Athlete of the Year in the GCL-South this season and fi rst-team All-Ohio. Porter scored 10 touchdowns during the regular season but has turned up the scoring in the postseason, running for seven scores and catching another in four games. Helping the ground game has been a pair of seniors upfront in Markell Harden and Dylan DeMaison. Off ensive linemen are rarely glorifi ed for the vital trench-work they do on a weekly basis, but their presence shows up with Porter, junior quarterback Zach Branam and sophomore running back Gi’Bran Payne combining for over 2,700 rushing yards this season. “They (Maison and Harden) have really helped our off ensive line excel See LA SALLE , Page 2B

They’re going to have a strong contingent going upstate and hopefully Friday night into Saturday morning they’re still partying.” Bill McDonald, a 1969 Elder graduate, said some fans who typically attend games will skip a game with bad weather and watch a stream or listen on the radio. Those fans will still buy a ticket so the ﬁ nancial support is still carried over. Support means more than just ticket sales, but sales sure don’t hurt. More than just money or numbers, large attendance shows what Elder means to outside forces. Athletic Director Kevin Espelage, a former player and coach, has seen what Elder’s fan base means throughout the entire state. “We’re still the leaders of the pack,” Espelage said. “Every week I have to go

this year,” McLaughlin said. “Their leadership on the off ensive line has helped open up a lot of holes and led to some big runs for Cam, Zach and Gi’Bran.” Elsewhere on off ense, seniors Jake Seibert,Anthony Meiners,Simon Nicholas, Neko Williams and Darryl Hubbard have all contributed in the passing attack, combining for 31 receptions for 368 yards. Seibert, an Ohio State commit, is a fi rst-team All-Ohio kicker. He’s 7-for-10 on fi eld goals this season with a long of 48 and 53-for-55 on extra-point attempts. Snapping the ball to him is Meiners, who primarily excels on special teams. “He’s a three-year varsity football player and long-snapper who has played almost every special team,” McLaughlin said. “He’ll be a longsnapper somewhere in college if he wants to do that.” Defensively, senior linebacker Luke Thiemann leads the team in tackles with 104. Senior Cole Hildebrand is tops in the secondary with 68 tackles to go with a pair of picks this season. Ben Blevins has been a quiet leader and a big addition for the Lancers on both sides of the ball. Last season, Blevins was a fi rst-team all-district and special mention all-Ohio off ensive linemen for Little Miami. “He (Blevins) is just a kid who is gonna put his head down and go to work,” McLaughlin said. “He doesn’t say very much, but he’s a worker and he’s a grinder who will play college football somewhere.” Thursday was the seniors’ last time suiting up the Lancers. “Not many kids get to know when their fi nal high school football game is gonna end and those guys do,” McLaughlin said. “I think they understood that they have an opportunity to write how their story ends and it’s up to them to write that story.”

Those players and others on Elder’s roster did the same with players like Kyle Rudolph, Mark Miller, Josh Jones, Tim O’Conner and others. Breaking out of the regional fi nal was a relief for Ramsey, but it doesn’t match seeing the community’s kids go through the cycle. “We’re a special place,” Ramsey said of Elder, “We’re diff erent than anybody else. There’s such a community feel here. There’s three or four kids on this team where I coached their dads. It’s Elder people and that’s what makes it special. While Coach Ramsey gives his interview, a fl ood of people continued to come up and congratulate him and pass good thoughts on to the team. Finally, Ramsey laughed and said, “That’s what it is right there. It’s all those guys and it means so much to people here.”

North Bend Yacht Club celebrates 10 years The North Bend Yacht Club began as an idea while our club’s “Commodore” Tom Lameier was socializing with a few good friends. What if we started a club where members could have fun, develop friendships and have as our main focus helping local Westside charities at the same time? North Bend Yacht Club began in January 2010. Within a few short months our club was established, restaurants (we call them “docks”) were selected for our monthly events, and our motto was chosen... “Fun, Friendship and Charity.” It has grown from 50 members into an organization with over 200 members

We have raised money Lameier with monthly events, a gala fundraiser and our annual golf outing. We have a full website to keep our members informed, a ships store with logo accessories and quite a list of local restaurants that honor our membership cards for discounts. For the cost of our membership it’s the best value in town. You can visit our website at www.nbyc. us Every month North Bend Yacht Club selects a West Side charity to support. To date we have donated to The Pregnancy Center West, Santa Maria Community Services, Holy Family Food Bank, Deaf Institute, Anderson Food Pantry, Bethany House, Healthy Moms & Babes, St. Joseph Orphanage, My Neighbor’s Place, Living Hope, Manna Outreach and St. Leo Food Pantry. To

The Yachting Club of America was founded in 1963 as the ﬁ rst National Association of Yacht Clubs. The founding principles set forth by the board of governors and founding members, including John Wayne, were designed to serve the advancement of Yachting.

Bethany House Services, Greater Cincinnati’s largest provider of emergency shelter and housing programs for families experiencing homelessness, recently announced it has been selected to receive a $1.25 million grant from the Day 1 Families Fund. “Bethany House is combining seven current facilities into one new, consolidated family shelter and comprehensive service center for families experiencing homelessness. This facility is our top priority and will enable us to improve services to parents and children and reach more families each year,” said Susan Schiller, executive director of Bethany House. “Words can’t express our gratitude for this incredible gift, which will be used toward the cost of the new facility.” Bethany House isin the early stages of a public-private fundraising eff ort to secure the funds for the consolidated facility. The new shelter and service center will be in Bond Hill. This one-time grant, awarded to organizations moving the needle on family homelessness, will allow Bethany House to better meet the needs of the families it serves. Explained Bob Inkrot, president of the Bethany House board of directors, “The new shelter and service center is crucial to helping Bethany House ensure more families reach a safe place to stay. Bethany House has continued to increase its response, but is hindered by the age, ineffi ciency and lack of space within its current shelters — which are in desperate need of upgrading.” Regional data show that 56% of families seeking emergency shelter in 2018 received no homelessness services. Agency-wide, Bethany House serves about 800 families each year and estimates it will reach an additional 100 families annually due to the increased effi ciency and deeper on-site services in the new facility. Bethany House Services is one of 32 nonprofi ts across the U.S. to receive the second annual Day 1 Families Fund grants, as part of a broad investment by the Day 1 Families Fund to help solve family homelessness. The Day 1 Families Fund issued a total of $98.5 million in grants this year. For more information, visit www.BezosDayOneFund.org/Day1FamiliesFund.
