Hot temps draw crowds to Coney Island Sunlite Pool Nick Ballard, 18, of Anderson, does a back flip off the diving board at Coney Island Sunlite Pool, Friday, July 3, 2020. People cannot wear masks in the water, but social distancing is encouraged.

Homearama is coming to Anderson Township in 2021, according to the Home Builders Association of Greater Cincinnati, which sponsors the event.

The 58th annual showcase of luxury homes will be held next year from June 12-27 in the Parkside Estates development off Interstate 275 near the Coldstream Country Club, Coney Island, and Eastgate Mall.

Parkside Estates will feature 48 homes in a variety of architectural styles, including eight to 10 Homearama show homes ranging in price from about $1 million to $1.3 million, according to Julie Zicka, president of Zicka Homes, one of the Homearama builders.

Other builders participating in the show include Sterling Homes and Wieland Builders, and several other custom builders have expressed interest in building show homes, according to the home builders' association.

A groundbreaking for Homearama 2021 will be scheduled this fall.

Meanwhile, this year’s Homearama is set to be held Oct. 10-25 in Cincinnati’s East End in the Walnut Junction development - an urban, infi ll project of 39 single-family lots being developed near Walworth Avenue and Columbia Parkway.

The East End show will feature eight Homearama homes priced from about $1.2 million to $1.6 million.

Homearama 2020 will be held from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and noon-9 p.m. Friday through Sunday.

Tickets for this year's show go on sale July 15.

Tickets are $19 at the gate, and $17 if you buy them on the Cincinnati Homearama website or mobile app.

Kroger will not be selling event tickets this year due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Deters: 14 indicted in connection to Cincinnati protests Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters announced 14 indictments July 9 in connection to arrests that were made during protests in late May and early June.

Deters said about 25% of those indicted are from outside of Hamilton County. According to documents, 10 defendants have Cincinnati addresses.

The others are from Independence, Covington and Clermont County – one defendant does not have an address listed at all.

“They took advantage of what was

basically a peaceful protest and put our community and our people in danger,” Deters said. “And I can tell you this, as your prosecutor, I’m not going to tolerate it.”

The protests were sparked by the death of George Floyd, an unarmed See INDICTED, Page 4A

Indicted Continued from Page 1A

black man who was killed in Minneapolis on May 25.

Documents state nine of the defendants charged in Cincinnati are Black, and fi ve are white; eight are male and six are female.

The charges in the July 9 indictment are in connection to 12 separate incidents that occurred between May 30 and June 3. None of the charges will be dismissed or reduced “in any fashion,” Deters said. All of the charges are fourth and fi fth degree felonies, and defendants face up to a year in prison.

Deters outlined two of the incidents during a July 9 press conference. Solomon Zellars, 18, is charged with carrying a concealed weapon. Deters held up a photo of the fi rearm offi cers confi scated from Zellars and pointed to an extended clip on the gun “which could have Deters caused multiple injuries and/or death,” Deters said.

Another defendant, Justin Crum, 35, broke into Saks Fifth Avenue twice within three days, Deters said. The indictment states Crum also damaged two cells at the Hamilton County Justice Center.

Both Zellars and Crum are from Cincinnati, documents state. Crum is the only one of the 14 defendants still being held in the Hamilton County Justice Center, according to jail records.

“I will defend a person’s right to peacefully protest and I always will,” Deters said. “But, when individuals use that occasion to loot, attack our police and their equipment, and damage private and personal property, and public property – I’m done with them.”

Deters noted a “Drop the Charges” rally that occurred July 7 following a motion fi led by attorneys with the Cincinnati Mass Defense Coalition. The motion asks for all charges to be dropped in connection to the over 500 people that were arrested during Cincinnati protests.

“For a curfew violation, spending the night in jail’s probably enough,” Deters said.

But Deters does not have a say when it comes to misdemeanor charges. The Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Offi ce handles all felonies for the city and within Hamilton County. Misdemeanor prosecutions – such as curfew violations – are up to the City of Cincinnati, Deters said.

As for the felony charges, Deters said protesters “better not hold their breath” in hopes of dismissals.

“It ain’t gonna happen,” Deters said.

More indictments are possible, Deters said. The Prosecutor’s Offi ce has formed a task force to handle the cases from the protests, so as to ensure consistency.

Deters said he grew up in Cincinnati as the oldest of eight children.

“I love Cincinnati. And it really disturbs me to see people trash it like they did during that period,” Deters said. “So we’re not going to reduce it, we’re not dis-

missing them. I can’t help what a judge does to them, but I would hope they would do the right thing for the city.”

The following people were indicted as of July 9: i Brennon Thomas, 23, of Independence, is charged with two gun-related felonies. i Rowan Grisez, 20, of Clermont County, is charged with assault after documents state he “tried to punch” a police offi cer. i Tiara Ragland, 29, of Cincinnati, is charged with breaking and entering at the Marathon gas station on Gilbert Avenue. i Tanisha White, 27, of Cincinnati, is charged with breaking and entering at the Marathon gas station on Gilbert Avenue. i Zachary Zovic, 22, of Cincinnati, is charged with harassment with a bodily substance after documents state he spit on a police offi cer. i Solomon Zellars, 18, of Cincinnati, is charged with carrying a concealed weapon and improperly handling a fi rearm in a motor vehicle. i Joshua Thompson, 24, of Covington, is charged with carrying a concealed weapon. i Sierra Thomas, 34, of Cincinnati, is charged with breaking and entering at the Walgreens on Sixth and

Religious groups get millions in taxpayer bailout Dan Horn Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Tens of millions of dollars from taxpayers will fl ow to Greater Cincinnati’s religious schools and places of worship as part of the federal coronavirus bailout.

The bailout, approved by Congress this spring, allowed religious groups to apply for forgivable, taxpayer-funded small business loans for the fi rst time.

An Enquirer analysis of loan approvals found more than 150 religious groups here took the government up on the offer. They include Christian, Jewish and Islamic schools, charities, food pantries, colleges, social service organizations and nonprofi ts dedicated to spreading their faith.

Even Monroe's Solid Rock Church, which ignored government pleas to suspend Sunday services at the onset of the pandemic, won approval for up to $350,000 in taxpayer aid.

The largest religious organization receiving taxpayer help in the region is the Diocese of Covington, which was approved for up to $10 million, which it said was needed to preserve 500 jobs.

The next biggest payouts – up to $5 million – went to institutions that include St. Xavier High School, Summit Country Day School, Crossroads Community Church, Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy, Thomas More University, Hebrew Union College and the Sisters of Charity.

Overall, The Enquirer found, religious institutions in this region have been approved for up to $179 million in loans through the bailout, formally known as the Paycheck Protection Program.

The loans, which will be paid by taxpayers if the money is spent to preserve jobs, typically would not be available to religious groups. But Congress authorized an exception during the coronavirus outbreak, deciding they were entitled to the same relief as any businesses during the pandemic and subsequent stay-at-home orders.

The bailout allowed taxpayer money to be spent for the fi rst time on salaries of clergy, teachers and other staff at religious institutions – moving the line be-

tween church and state as never before.

In their bailout applications, local religious groups said the money would save about 11,000 jobs.

The precise amounts approved for each applicant have not been released by the Small Business Administration, but the government on Monday published a list of approved applicants and the dollar ranges for which those loan applicants are eligible.

Aside from the $5 million to $10 million awarded to the Diocese of Covington, the largest loan range approved for religious groups in Greater Cincinnati was between $2 million and $5 million.

One of the biggest religious institutions in this heavily Catholic region – the Archdiocese of Cincinnati – is not on the list. The archdiocese applied for an undisclosed amount in March, but a spokeswoman said Monday the application was later withdrawn. She did not say why.

Still, dozens of Catholic schools, parishes and diocese-affi liated organizations did apply, accounting for millions of dollars in bailout loan applications.

Most have been approved for loans ranging from $150,000 to $1 million.

Those eligible for between $1 million and $2 million include Elder High School, Moeller High School, St. Ursula Academy, Mount Notre Dame High School and Ursuline Academy.

But the loan approvals covered a wide range of faiths. The Isaac M. Wise Temple in Amberley Village and the Islamic Educational Council in West Chester both were approved for up to $350,000, as were numerous small churches, such as Calvary Pentecostal Church in Cincinnati and Lincoln Heights Missionary Baptist Church.

The Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio was cleared for up to $1 million, as was the Cincinnati Hebrew Day School.

The Enquirer analysis covers loan approvals in the First, Second and Eighth congressional districts in Southwest Ohio, and in the Fourth Congressional District in Northern Kentucky.

The Small Business Administration has so far refused to provide specifi c dollar amounts approved for any business or religious institution, but a federal lawsuit fi led by media outlets is seeking release of that information.

BREAKING NEWS: Millions of Americans take the supplement CoQ10. It’s the “jet fuel” that supercharges your cells’ power generators, known as mitochondria.

As you age, your mitochondria begin to die. In fact, by age 67, you lose 80% of the mitochondria you had at age 25. But if you’re taking CoQ10, there’s something important you should know.

As powerful as CoQ10 is, there is a critical thing it fails to do. It can’t create new mitochondria in your cells.

Taking CoQ10 is not enough

NASA-discovered nutrient is stunning the medical world by activating more youthful energy, vitality and health than CoQ10.

“There’s a little-known NASA nutrient that multiplies the number of new power generators in your cells by up to 55%,” says Dr. Al Sears, owner of the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine in Royal Palm Beach, Florida. “Science once thought this was impossible. But now you can make your heart, brain and body young again.”

“I tell my patients the most important thing I can do is increase their ‘health span.’

This is the length of time you can live free of disease and with all your youthful abilities and faculties intact.”

Medical first: Multiply the “power generators” in your cells Al Sears, M.D., recently released an energyboosting supplement based on this NASA nutrient that has become so popular, he’s having trouble keeping it in stock.

A single cell in your body can contain between 200 to 2,000 mitochondria, with the largest number found in the most metabolically active cells, like those in your brain, heart and skeletal muscles.

were the equivalent of 80 years old.

Science stands behind the power of PQQ Journal of Nutrition Biochemical Pharmacology reports that PQQ is up to 5,000 times more efficient in sustaining energy production than common antioxidants.

“Imagine 5,000 times more efficient energy,” says Dr. Sears. “PQQ has been a game changer for my patients.”

“With the PQQ in Ultra Accel, I have energy I never thought possible,” says Colleen R., one of Dr. Sears’ patients. “I am in my 70s but feel 40 again. I think clearer, move with real energy and sleep like a baby.”

It works right away Along with an abundance of newfound energy, users also report a sharper, more focused mind and memory, and even younger-looking skin and hair. Jerry M. from Wellington, Florida, used Ultra Accel and was amazed at the effect.

“I noticed a difference within a few days,” says Jerry. “My endurance almost doubled.

But it’s not just in your body. You can feel it mentally, too,” says Jerry. “Not only do I feel a difference, but the way it protects my cells is great insurance against a health disaster as I get older.”

Increase your health span today The demand for this supplement is so high, Dr. Sears is having trouble keeping it in stock.

“My patients tell me they feel better than they have in years. This is ideal for people who are feeling or looking older than their age… or for those who are tired or growing more forgetful.”

But because of changes in cells, stress and poor diet, most people’s power generators begin to malfunction and die off as they age. In fact, the Mitochondria Research Society reports 50 million U.S. adults are suffering from health problems because of mitochondrial dysfunction.

“My favorite part of practicing anti-aging medicine is watching my patients get the joy back in their lives. Ultra Accel sends a wakeup call to every cell in their bodies… and they actually feel young again.”

Common ailments often associated with aging — such as memory problems, heart issues, blood sugar concerns and vision and hearing difficulties — can all be connected to a decrease in mitochondria.

Right now, the only way to get this potent combination of PQQ and super-powered CoQ10 is with Dr. Sears’ breakthrough Ultra Accel II formula.

NASA Nutrient Delivers 5,000 Times More Energy Than CoQ10

Now, Dr. Sears has come up with what his peers consider his greatest contribution to anti-aging medicine yet — a newly discovered nutrient that multiplies the number of tiny, energy-producing “engines” located inside the body’s cells, shattering the limitations of traditional CoQ10 supplements.

Dr. Sears and his researchers combined the most powerful form of CoQ10 available — called ubiquinol — with a unique, newly discovered natural compound called PQQ that has the remarkable ability to grow new mitochondria. Together, the two powerhouses are now available in a supplement called Ultra Accel II. Discovered by a NASA probe in space dust, PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline quinone) stimulates something called “mitochondrial biogenesis” — a unique process that actually boosts the number of healthy mitochondria in your cells.

In a study published in the Journal of Nutrition Biochemical Pharmacology, mice fed PQQ grew a staggering number of new mitochondria, showing an increase of more than 55% in just eight weeks.

The mice with the strongest mitochondria showed no signs of aging — even when they

PPP: Cincinnati businesses approved for up to $5.8B, including icons like LaRosa’s, Skyline Alexander Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Small businesses struggling amid the coronavirus pandemic and shutdown orders in Greater Cincinnati were authorized to receive between $2.4 billion and $5.8 billion in emergency loans as part of the $2 trillion stimulus passed in spring.

The U.S. Small Business Administration on Monday revealed small businesses in the region tapped into the $349 billion Paycheck Protection Program to preserve almost 315,000 local jobs – nearly one out of three jobs in the region.

Many familiar local businesses were greenlit for loans, including: Graeter’s Ice Cream, Skyline Chili, Frisch’s Big Boy, LaRosa’s Pizza, McCluskey Chevrolet,

LCA-Vision, Bob Sumerel Tire; and Rhinegeist Holdings.

Several area nonprofi ts also got approvals, including: Pathways Inc.; Thomas More University; Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy; Sisters of Charity Senior Care and the Cincinnati Arts Association.

In a separate disclosure, the SBA also revealed it authorized more than 30,000 other small business loans for less than $150,000 each, but did not name those recipients.

Those loans pumped another $1 billion into the region, helping preserve another 170,000 jobs, including sole-proprietorships.

While thousands of businesses applied for a fi nancial lifeline under the PPP program administered by the SBA, details of how many and what businesses got money have been sparse.

The disclosure named small businesses that were authorized for loans, but don’t spell out how much each would get.

Instead, they provided ranges for approved amounts, including between $5 million to $10 million; $2 million to $5 million; and $1 million to $2 million.

Among the more than 5,700 small business and organizations that were approved: i Nearly 5,000 employed less than 100 workers i Almost 500 had 100-199 employees i Almost 200 had 200 or more workers So, just how much “stimulus” did all this lending inject into the region?

Nearly 850 businesses were greenlit to get at least $1 million each.

Bramble berry jams: black and red raspberry Homemade bramble berry jam Don’t double recipe and measure exactly.

If you want to sieve some seeds out, you’ll need more berries to make up the difference.

Ingredients 2 heaping quarts black or red raspberries, or blackberries, enough to make 5 cups crushed berries 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1 box powdered pectin, 1.75 oz.

7 cups sugar 8 jelly jars, 8 oz., sterilized and kept hot (I put mine through dishwasher) 8 two-piece lids, kept in hot, not boiling, water Instructions Crush berries well. I whirl them in my food processor.

Place berries in very large pot, stir in lemon juice and pectin.

Bring to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn’t stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly.

Add sugar all at once and return to a full rolling boil, then boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Guest columnist

Keeping promises. I’m doing just that today by sharing recipes for bramble berry jams, aka red raspberry, black raspberry and blackberry.

I have a patch of black raspberries in the garden, plus some wild ones growing on the hillside nestled in with the wild blackberries.

Why jam and not jelly? I’d need a lot more berries than I have to make jelly, since you have to sieve out seeds. But I’m fi ne with jam.

A couple of weeks ago, our kids and grandkids came over to make strawberry and red raspberry jams. A bit chaotic, but so much fun.

The recipe for red raspberry, black raspberry and blackberry jam is the same, just swap out berries.

Teresa from Clermont County wanted a recipe for blueberry jam so that’s here, too.

One more thing – if you’ve never made jam from scratch, you’ll be surprised at the sugar needed. The bonus? It’s all natural, no high fructose corn syrup in homemade jam! Be-

Place jars upright and let stand at room temperature 24 hours.

Check for seal. Press down in center with fi nger. If lid springs up when you release fi nger, jar didn’t seal.

Store unsealed jars in refrigerator up to 1 month.

Store sealed jars in pantry up to 1 year.

Tip: can you reuse lids?

Flat lids have to be new. Rings can be reused.

Blueberry jam

Bramble berry jams: black and red raspberry.

The only difference between the bramble and blueberry jams is the amount of fruit and sugar. You’ll need 4 cups crushed blueberries (about 6 cups whole blueberries) and 4 cups sugar. Pectin and lemon juice is the same (1 box pectin, 3 tablespoons juice). Cooking and storing instructions are the same, too.

sides, you won’t be eating the whole jar at once.

Still want to make lower sugar or sugar-free jam? Buy pectin made for lower or no sugar jams. You may need more fruit, so follow recipe on pectin box.

Tip: Frozen berries, thawed, work well too.

Cincinnati-native stars in new Netfl ix movie

9A

Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Netfl ix's latest action movie has everything – war, immortal mercenaries, action scenes – and a Cincinnati-native as the lead.

"The Old Guard" is a superhero movie with a twist: a group of immortals battling for what they think is right. Cincinnati-native KiKi Layne ("If Beale Street Could Talk") stars in it alongside Charlize Theron ("Mad Max: Fury Road"). It's an action fi lm with two female leads – one of them Black – and a Black female director, Gina Prince-Bythewood ("Secret Life of Bees," "Love & Basketball").

That isn't the only revolutionary part of this fi lm, which premiered on Netfl ix on Friday, July 10.

"Once I actually got to read the script and read the graphic novel, I was excited. One, I've always wanted to do action, so it's the opportunity to fi nally get to realize that dream. But then to get to do it in a way in which the character that I was playing was still very grounded, and still had a lot of heart to her," Layne said.

The Old Guard" is a covert group of immortal mercenaries. They're seriously old – the last member of the group joined in 1812 – while others have been around for thousands of years. The group becomes exposed and must fi ght to keep their identity a secret, just as an unexpected new member is discovered. Nile, played by Layne, joins the group after she discovers she's immortal while fi ghting as a Marine in the U.S. army.

Director Prince Bythewood said it took only fi ve seconds for her to decide to cast Layne. "I thought, 'Oh

Charlize Theron and KiKi Layne in a scene from 'The Old Guard,' streaming on Netflix. AIMEE SPINKS/NETFLIX

my god, I'm looking at Nile.' Her chops are just next level."

Prince Bythewood says the themes of the movie are fi nding your purpose and fi nding how to do good with the time we have on earth. "Everybody deserves to be seen as a hero, one hundred percent. And that has not been what we've gotten to see throughout the history of Hollywood, honestly. I want to go see myself represented up on screen, and so many people want that," she said.

The heart and the depth of the characters is what attracted Layne to this movie.

"This is what I've always wanted to do since I was going to Performing Arts over on Sycamore Street,"

Layne said. She graduated from the School for Creative and Performing Arts in 2009.

The plot of the movie takes these characters to places like Afghanistan, South Sudan, France, Morocco and more, but "The Old Guard" was actually only fi lmed in Morocco and England, according to IMDB. In true Cincinnati style, Layne loves Grippos, in particular the cheese puff s with Grippos seasoning.

"That'll change your life," she laughed. She also loves Penn Station. They were off -limits for a little while, however. She began training for the fi ght scenes months in advance. "There were diff erent types of training," she said. "There's just being in the gym building muscle and strength, but I was also working with weapons for the fi rst time. Military and tactical training were important because I was playing a Marine. Doing the crazy stunts and choreography."

"You really are able to connect with these characters on a very human level, "she continued. "You know, you're seeing even though they have this immortality, they're still struggling with grief, loss, pain and loneliness. I think that's something that makes this one (the movie) special."

10 best prep wide receivers to watch

Milford hires Marine vet to lead wrestling team

Shelby Dermer and James Weber

Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer

USA TODAY NETWORK

USA TODAY NETWORK

Moving on with The Enquirer’s series of top-10 positional rankings, it’s time to rundown the Tristate’s top wide receivers heading into the 2020 prep football season.

Elder’s Drew Ramsey would’ve made the list after catching 61 balls for 633 yards and fi ve touchdowns last season, but he will move to quarterback this fall to replace Matthew Luebbe.

Gauge Dunn, Bethel-Tate (Jr.) Dunn was fi rst-team all-district and special mention All-Ohio in 2019. As a part of head coach Jeff Essig’s “Tate Tempo,” Dunn led the Southern Buckeye Conference with 10 touchdown snags and was second in receptions (66) and yards (920). Dunn had three double-digit catch outings last season, none bigger than in a Week 3 win over Scott, when he went for 240 yards and three scores on 11 receptions. Dunn had 14 catches in a loss to Blanchester in Week 8 and three touchdown receptions against Williamsburg one week later. He had a rushing touchdown in each of those games, too.

Liam Cliff ord, St. Xavier (Sr.) Cliff ord, a Penn State University commit, led the Greater Catholic League-South in receiving yards and touchdowns during the regular season in 2019. He fi nished with 77 catches for 1,180 yards and 13 touchdowns and was a fi rst-team All-Ohio selection. Cliff ord posted three-straight 100-yard eff orts during St. Xavier’s 5-0 start last season.

Later in the year against Louisville St. Xavier, he snagged fi ve passes for 151 yards and three touchdowns and added a score on the ground to lead the Bombers to a 35-30 victory. Cliff ord excelled on special teams, too, with just under 600 kick return yards.

The Enquirer’s Scott Springer reported in June that Cliff ord could be in line to replace Matthew Rueve at quarterback in 2020, saying, “Cliff ord initially was a quarterback, so you never know what coaches (Steve) Specht and (Andrew) Coverdale have in mind for 2020.”

Joop Mitchell, Wyoming (Sr.) Mitchell, a three-year, two-way starter for coach Aaron Hancock, was a

Bethel-Tate wide receiver Gauge Dunn was a fi rst-team all-district and special mention All-Ohio selection in 2019. PROVIDED BY JEFF ESSIG

top target for Evan Prater in 2019, recording 39 receptions for 778 yards and seven scores. He was a fi rst-team alldistrict selection and was named special mention All-Ohio after helping lead the Cowboys to a second-straight regional championship. Mitchell started his junior campaign with a 155-yard, two-touchdown performance in a win over Columbus Academy. He later went for 117 yards and a score against Reading.

In April, Max Preps listed Mitchell as one of the most overlooked 2021 recruits in the Midwest.

Fellow Cowboy Brennan Pagan had 39 catches for 596 yards and seven touchdowns last season. He will be switching to signal-caller this fall.

Ethan Reardon, Covington Catholic (Sr.) The 6-foot-5, 185-pound senior was a vital weapon for the 2019 Class 5A state champions. He had 45 catches for 804 yards and nine touchdowns, averaging nearly 18 yards per reception and a score every fi ve catches. He has multiple off ers, including Division I Morehead State and Valparaiso along with Tiffi n, Siena Heights, Kentucky Wesleyan and Hanover. He has also received interest from Yale and Columbia of the Ivy League.

Deanza Duncan, New Miami (Sr.) Duncan was a fi rst-team all-district and All-Ohio selection in 2019 after

helping lead New Miami to a perfect regular season and the No. 1 seed in Region 28. Duncan averaged an absurd 34.9 yards-per-catch, fi nishing with 1,081 yards and 15 touchdowns on 31 receptions. Duncan fi nished the regular season with four 100-yard, multitouchdown performances over the last fi ve weeks. Earlier in the year, he had six catches for 198 yards and two scores in a win over Fayetteville Perry.

Gianni Rudolph, Taft (Sr.) Rudolph was a fi rst-team all-district and special mention All-Ohio selection in 2019 as a defensive back, and he was dominant on the off ensive end, too. Rudolph won the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference receiving triple crown last season in catches (37), yards (912) and touchdowns (10). Rudolph posted four triple-digit receiving eff orts in 2019, including a 218-yard performance (that included a 95-yard touchdown) in Taft’s season-opening win over Northwest. Later in the year, he set a careerhigh with three touchdowns in a victory over Western Hills.

Brandon McClendon, Holy Cross (Sr.) The latest member from one of Northern Kentucky’s most productive athletic families led Northern Kentucky in receiving yards last season, catching 46 passes for 1,118 yards and nine touchSee RECEIVERS, Page 2B

The Milford High School Department of Athletics has announced that Josh Clayton will lead the Eagles’ wrestling program for the 2020-21 season as the interim varsity head coach.

Clayton has served the last several years as a coach with the Milford Junior High after retiring from the US Marine Corps.

"I am ecstatic to announce Josh Clayton as Clayton our next leader of the Milford Eagles wrestling program,” Athletic Director Aaron Zupka said.

“He exemplifi es everything we want our student-athletes to be and how we want our program to be represented.

Coach Clayton has a tremendous amount of energy, passion and enthusiasm for growing the sport of wrestling at Milford. I know he will work tirelessly to further the development of our student-athletes on and off the mat.”

Clayton is a graduate of Milford where he was a four-year member of the Eagle wrestling program, qualifying for the OHSAA State Tournament as a senior. After Milford, Coach Clayton attended the US Naval Academy, spending two years as a member of the wrestling program, while in Annapolis. Following graduation, he deployed several times to Iraq and Afghanistan, fi nishing his career with 16 years fl ying AH-1W SuperCobra attack helicopters for the Marines, according to a press release from the school.

Coach Clayton launched his coaching career during his time in the Marines as a youth team coach. Upon returning to Milford, he started helping with the Milford youth program, before moving on to working with the junior high and high school wrestlers a year later.

“I am honored to continue our tradition of hard work and discipline to help our wrestlers continue to grow,” Clayton said in the release. “The skills they learn on the mat will help them be better wrestlers, citizens, and leaders.”

Greater Cincinnati’s top prep athletes honored Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Cincinnati.com Sports Awards was a virtual event this year hosted by national sports broadcasters Jesse Palmer, Sage Steele, Dr. Jerry Punch and Courtney Cronin.

Big winners on the night included Ohio State commit Kailyn Dudukovich and the Lakota West girls soccer team.

Dudukovich was named Girls Soccer Player of the Year for leading Lakota West to the Ohio Division I state championship and also Girls Athlete of the Year as she is a starter on the Firebirds girls basketball team. She was also recently named Ohio Gatorade Girls Soccer Player of the Year.

Both Dudukovich and Boys Soccer Player of the Year Parker Grinstead of Moeller were announced by U.S Women’s team member and native Cincinnatian Rose Lavelle, formerly of Mount Notre Dame.

The Lakota West state championship girls soccer team coached by Brigit Reder was named Team of the Year by New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.

In similar fashion incoming University of Cincinnati freshman Evan Prater was named Boys Small School Football Player of the Year after earning Ohio’s

Lakota West forward Kailyn Dudukovich (13) during their state semifi nal win over Dublin Coffman, Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2019. TONY TRIBBLE FOR THE ENQUIRER

Mr. Football Award as the quarterback of the Wyoming Cowboys. Also a top scorer and rebounder for Wyoming’s basketball team, Prater also won Athlete of the Year honors.

The Dudukovich and Prater all-

around awards were announced by Super Bowl MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs.

While Prater took the small school football award, Notre Dame-bound Michael Mayer of Covington Catholic was

the Big School Football Player of the Year. Likewise, Mayer was Kentucky’s Mr. Football, giving Greater Cincinnati a pair of highly-decorated pigskin performers. Both football honors were presented by New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees.

In hoops, Moeller’s Max Land was Big School Boys Basketball Player of the Year. Land was denied the chance at a third straight Division I state championship with the Crusaders due to new coronavirus restrictions put in place as the OHSAA tournament got underway.

Land will play at St. Francis and was fi rst-team all-state.

Wyoming’s Isaiah Walker, who has another year to play for the Cowboys, was Small School Boys Basketball Player of the Year. Like teammate Evan Prater, he was an All-State selection. As a junior Walker led the Cincinnati Hills League in scoring at 24.7 points per game for the 24-1 Cowboys.

The Girls Big School Basketball Player of the Year came from Kentucky with McDonald’s All-American Maddie Scherr winning. Like many seniors, her KHSAA tournament was cut short with the Raiders. Scherr will next play for the Oregon Ducks.

COMMUNITY NEWS Disability Pride celebration planned for July Eight local organizations that support people with disabilities are hosting a virtual celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) this month.

On July 1, they kicked off festivities with a proclamation from the City of Cincinnati recommitting to the principles of equality and inclusion for people with disabilities in our community.

Councilman David Mann read the proclamation, which says: “We must do our part to ensure our nation’s promise is within reach of all Cincinnati’s constituents and communities to bring forth the promise of hope and freedom that is envisioned by the passage of the ADA, so that every person receives equal access, equal opportunity and the equal respect they deserve.”

Throughout July, the committee will be celebrating Disability Pride in Cincinnati with: • A panel discussion with local leaders moderated

by Kevin Flynn, disability rights advocate and former Cincinnati City Councilman • Honk-and-waves around the city to increase public awareness of the Americans with Disabilities Act and show how people with disabilities are a vital part of our community • An awards ceremony honoring local organizations as ADA Champions for their commitment to accessibility and inclusion in our community The committee initially planned to hold a Disability Pride March and celebration in Washington Park, but decided an in-person gathering was not safe at this time. All are encouraged to join the virtual celebration and share their stories by using #CincyADA30 or #DIsabilityPrideCincy on social media.

More information available on the Disability Pride 2020 Facebook event or online at hamiltondds.org/ ada30.

Buddy Walk Cincinnati: Thousands will paint the Tri-State together for Down Syndrome As their largest fundraiser of the year, the Cincinnati Buddy Walk provides much-needed fi nancial resources for the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati (DSAGC) to fulfi ll its mission.

In an eff ort to ensure the safety of over 13,000 Buddy Walk participants, the DSAGC has made the thoughtful decision to celebrate their walk in a unique way this year! The organization is on a mission to “Paint The Tri-State Yellow & Blue” on Saturday, Sept.

They are encouraging Greater Cincinnati to connect like never before to “Paint The Tri-State Yellow And Blue.” In a unifi ed eff ort, the community can showcase the Down syndrome awareness colors by decorating neighborhoods with signs, fl ags, balloons or organizing car parades, family picnics, backyard barbeques, walks with friends, and more.

The Cincinnati Buddy Walk may look diff erent this year, but the feeling of acceptance and celebration will remain the same because Greater Cincinnati is and always will be TOGETHER FOR DOWN SYNDROME! To learn more and register for the Buddy Walk, visit www.buddywalkcincy.org.

Public Library wants you to ‘Discover Summer’ with books, STEM activities While some summertime favorites — swimming pools, amusement parks, sports games, concerts — might be cancelled or limited this summer, the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County wants you to know fun can be had anywhere with its Discover

Summer program. Participation in the Discover Summer learning program is open to kids of all ages and is completely free; no Library card is required.

“Our summer learning program has been heavily streamlined this year to focus on providing high-quality materials and experiences for the community while prioritizing the safety of both participants and Library staff ,” said Lifelong Learning Manager Maggie Killman. “This year, our community is facing a new challenge in a ‘COVID slide.’ Data from the NWEA (Northwest Evaluation Association) is showing that the greatest risk for learning loss in younger children is in math skills. We are coordinating our programming to help support learning in that area.”

This summer the Library is using Beanstack, a summer learning app that goes along with the Library’s activity booklets. Participants can earn points and badges for logging reading, writing a review, or completing a fun activity. Challenges in the Beanstack app align with the Discover Summer learning booklets.

Beanstack is free software that’s available by using a web browser, or an app for iPhones or Android.

Free-to-keep books and activity booklets can be picked up at open Library locations. The booklets are designed for age groups PreK, grades K-5, grades 6-8, and grades 9-12, so every kid will have access to develSee COMMUNITY, Page 4B

EASTSIDE COMMUNITY PRESS

SCHOOL NEWS Principal, assistant principals named During its regular June meeting, the Forest Hills Board of Education approved internal appointments of one new principal and two assistant principals.

Heather Hoelle, will assume principal duties beginning August 1. Ms. Hoelle joined the Ayer team in 2015 as assistant principal.

“I believe strongly in the Ayer community and I look forward to continuing to serve our students and staff through this new role,” said Hoelle. “My utmost priority will always be to support student learning and growth to the best of my ability. I am honored to be part of the Forest Hills School District and I’m eager to begin this new journey with the Ayer Falcons.”

Over the past fi ve years, Hoelle’s work helped lead to Ayer’s statewide recognition as a “Hall of Fame” school for going above and beyond to meet the needs of students. Heather has played an instrumental role in the school’s Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program, which has earned two statewide awards. In 2019, the Ohio Association of Elementary School Administrators (OAESA) nominated Hoelle for its Assistant Principal of the Year Award.

Hoelle’s former assistant principal position will be fi lled by Joy O’Brien. O’Brien has been at Forest Hills for 12 years, serving the last four years as Mercer Elementary’s assistant principal. O’Brien’s accomplishments include leading the school’s award-winning PBIS program and serving as the school’s special education case coordinator. She was part of the administrative team that helped Mercer Elementary earn the prestigious “Hall of Fame” designation and she is recognized statewide for her leadership serving on the OAESA Board of Directors.

Former Mercer teacher, Kimberly Beard, will return to Mercer to take over assistant principal duties. A graduate of the district’s leadership academy, Beard taught math and science at Mercer for 12 years prior to moving into a district-level role as a Learning Design Specialist (LDS) in 2017. Beard’s LDS position will not be fi lled to achieve savings as part of the district’s attritionary model.

“We have incredibly talented educators and leaders in our district, and I am thrilled that we’re able to fi ll these positions with faces that are familiar to our students, their parents, and the community,” said Scot Prebles, superintendent. “All three of these individuals are constantly striving to go above and beyond for all of our students, and we’re looking forward to seeing them achieve continued success during the upcoming school year and beyond.”

NRHS principal, grad retires As a student and an educator, New Richmond Exempted Village School District has been an integral part of Mark Bailey’s life.

After 33 years as an educator in the district, the NRHS Class of 1982 alumnus is retiring. The decision was not an easy one, Mr. Bailey recently shared in a letter to parents and staff . He ultimately decided it was the right decision at the right time.

“The reason I have decided to retire is that my mother’s health has been in decline, and with the uncertainty the 2020-2021 school year brings due to COVID-19, I feel I must place myself in a position to be there for her,” he said in his heartfelt letter. “We never truly have enough time to adequately pay back our parents for all of the support and sacrifi ces they made for us. I am reminded of the lyrics written by John Lennon, ‘Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.’ It pains me to think that I will no longer play a role in the continued successes of New Richmond High School, but I feel that it would be best for me and my family to move on.”

A self-described “music nerd” at heart, Mr. Bailey knew by his seventh-grade year at New Richmond Middle School that he wanted to pursue a career as a band director. He also knew that he wanted to teach music at New Richmond.

Heather Hoelle, new principal at Ayer Elementary School. PROVIDED

To help make his dream come true, he spent study halls during his high school senior year practicing for auditions.

The practice paid off earning him a full, four-year scholarship to Northern Kentucky University. He graduated from NKU in 1986 with bachelor’s degrees in both music education and arts and music.

Mr. Bailey completed his student teaching in 1986 at Anderson High School in the Forest Hills School District.

In 1994 he earned his master’s in administration and supervision from Xavier University. Mr. Bailey holds multiple certifi cations including elementary and secondary principal as well as superintendent and assistant superintendent.

He landed his dream job as band director at New Richmond High School in his fi rst full year as a teacher.

As a band director, Mr. Bailey excelled and inspired.

During his 12 years as director, the band grew from 35 members to 101. Under his leadership, the band also earned its fi rst-ever Superior rating at state competition and went on to earn seven more. In fact, during his 12 years as director, the NRHS band accumulated more Superior ratings at state than any other band in the region, he said.

His ability to grow and improve programs went with him when he was named principal of Monroe Elementary School in 2000. The school was the lowest-performing in Clermont County based on state testing.

After a dozen years at Monroe Elementary School, Mr. Bailey was named principal of NRHS. During his years there, he said he enjoyed watching the athletic teams bring home numerous SBAAC championships and All Sports Awards.

His passion for the arts continued and during his tenure, the music programs thrived earning top marks at countless competitions.

And, like at Monroe Elementary, Mr. Bailey focused energy and time on improved academic performance.

Under his leadership, NRHS improved its standing on the state report card and consistently ranked in the top three high schools for Clermont County.

His expertise was requested in 2015 when he was invited to give a presentation at Shanghai Normal University in China about best practices for preparing students for college and work.

“That was a great experience and great honor,” he said.

While leaving his career behind is diffi cult, Mr. Bailey is looking forward to spending more time with his mother, sister, nieces, and brother-in-law. He’s also looking forward to taking up hobbies that he set aside during his years as a high school principal including competitive trap shooting.

Mr. Bailey also has a soft spot for Golden Retrievers.

He said he may do some upland bird hunting, and possibly get a couple more Goldens.

He plans to remain in the community, he said.

The district has advertised the NRHS principal opening and plans to hire someone before the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year.

United Way provides more than $160K to local residents to help with COVID-19 recovery Nearly 4,000 local residents recently received more than $160,000 in gift cards to help with COVID-19 fallout through a partnership between United Way of Greater Cincinnati, its partner agencies and Hamilton County Job and Family Services.

Nearly three quarters of the recipients reported loss of wages and increases in expenses because of COVID-19. More than 90 percent of the cards went to female-headed households. The average family size was four.

The relief included more than $94,000 in grocery gift cards to help families with food and other basic needs. UWGC also distributed 951 Visa cards totaling more than $66,000 through the organization’s partner agencies and United Way 211, a resource and referral line.

The families expressed gratitude for the assistance: • “It helped… I am a single mom of 4, so losing my job has been really hard. This money helps a lot with household things I’m struggling to aff ord. Thank you.”

• “I can buy diapers for my baby. I can buy detergent for my family to use.”

• “Allowing me to buy food, toilet paper, and educational toys for my son.”

• “This is helping us by me being able to use the

money to pay our Duke bill and get food.”

The relief eff ort included a public-private partnership with Hamilton County Job and Family Services to help families waiting for food assistance due to COVID-19’s eff ect on the local economy. The gift cards provided immediate assistance as JFS – inundated with applications – worked to process the requests in a timely manner.

“United Way usually works through its partner agencies and other community organizations to impact Greater Cincinnati in a positive way; in this case, it was important to get money directly into the hands of families and children as quickly as possible,” said Moira Weir, United Way of Greater Cincinnati’s president and CEO. “The partnership with Hamilton County Job and Family Services shows how public-private partnerships provide meaningful results to families.”

Tim McCartney, interim director of JFS, said the great number of families in need stressed the entire JFS network.

“COVID-19 was a game changer for our community; the spike in need was unlike anything I have seen in my 30 years at JFS,” he said. “Partnering with the United Way helped us ensure families had food and other necessities in their greatest time of need.”

United Way of Greater Cincinnati worked with Brighton Center, Hyde Park Center for Older Adults, Meals on Wheels and Mercy Neighborhood Ministries to distribute the cards to families hit hard by the eff ects of COVID-19. That donation was made possible by Procter & Gamble’s Olay brand.

United Way ensured no families received more than one gift card and connected all with other United Way resources. Weir said United Way would develop more public-private partnerships as it expands its community presence with goals of convening resources to tackle deep-rooted systems of inequity.

Deers’ visit to the front yard something to fawn over Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist

Howdy folks, I was talking to Paula and she has three deer and three babies in her front yard. She is afraid to take her dog out each day to do its business. She is a little concerned about the mother deer but as long as she doesn’t bother the baby she is OK. When I was working, a fellar called one morning and he had a little deer that the dogs were trying to catch so he got it and brought it to the park offi ce. I called Ruth Ann and asked her to bring a bottle of milk for the baby and when she got there we looked all over the offi ce and fi nally found it behind the offi ce desk.

There was only 5 inches of space between the desk and the wall. I got it out and gave it the baby bottle and did it drink it. It didn’t take long for it to empty the bottle.

One time when I was farming, I was cutting hay and I cut through a quail nest. Part of the eggs were broken but there were about six eggs that were not broken. I took them to the house and my mother made a nest under a lamp and put the eggs in it. We watched the nest and turned the eggs each day. Then one morning we heard a chirp and the eggs were hatching. Then the work started.

We had to feed them and we did. When they got a little bigger we took them outside and turned them loose. This was always happening when we cut hay.

I talked to the Grants Farm and Greenhouse. They have fresh peaches and plenty of tomatoes, fl owers, plants, mulch and other items. The lady said Danny was out bailing straw. She thought it was too hot to be doing this.

When I was farming, the hot dry weather as far as I thought it was just right to do this kind of work. I talked to the greenhouse on State Route 131 above Williams Corner and they have plenty of ripe tomatoes and some cucumbers.

They also have plenty of diff erent kinds of fl owers and plants of diff erent kinds like tomatoes that are producing very heavy now. The fellow that takes care of the greenhouse does a wonderful job.

I talked to the Garden Store in Milford and the lady said they have beautiful peaches to sell. Each business has peaches and the homegrown tomatoes along with plenty of other items to sell so stop and look at the peaches and tomatoes. They will be very good.

The Grange met on Friday evening at 7 p.m. The junior Grangers are making mats out of the plastic grocery bags you get at the grocery store. They make mats to give to Matthew 25 Ministries to go to the homeless so they can have something to sleep on instead of the ground.

The Grangers are helping the Juniors make these.

Bonnie has quite a number of bags to

use. Instead of throwing them away, use them. The Junior Grangers will meet every other weekend to work on these bags. The Grange is having a yard sale on July 18, at the Grange Hall if you are interested in selling items give the Lytles a call at 513-732-2095. The card parties are still on hold due to this virus which we hope and pray will get better soon.

Deb picked three ripe tomatoes off the plant she got me for my birthday.

BY LAURA TAYLOR KINNEL / EDITED BY WILL SHORTZ Laura Taylor Kinnel, of Newtown, Pa., teaches math and is the director of studies at a Friends boarding school near Philadelphia.

Since her last puzzle appeared in March, she has spent lots of time with colleagues developing best methods and new processes for remote learning. Laura remarks that she was sitting and conducting classes from home in the same spot where she normally makes crosswords! — W.S.

These are best eats (and drinks) of Cincinnati Rasputin Todd Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Hey, Cincinnati. You hungry? Us, too.

We recently said a fond farewell to Polly Campbell when she retired after 23 years of writing about food and dining for The Enquirer. In her last year or so, we sent her on a ton of foodie quests to fi nd all the best eats all around the Cincinnati (and Northern Kentucky!) area.

As a thank you to YOU for subscribing to The Enquirer and Cincinnati.com and supporting her work throughout the years ... AND for sticking with us as we turn to our new chapter of food and dining coverage ...

We rounded up all the best-of lists from recent memory into one tasty spot for you to peruse and critique.

From the best fried chicken and tacos to the best restaurants in all the land, here are the best eats (and drinks) of Cincinnati.

Enjoy. :)

Best fried chicken Fried chicken is one of those dishes, like burgers and barbecue, that often comes with superlatives. The Hitching Post on Kellogg Avenue has had a sign for years claiming “world’s best chicken,” for instance. It’s funny, because it’s a dish with few variations. But these are the ones that do it best.

The winners: (Top 3) The Eagle in Over-the-Rhine; Libby’s Southern Comfort in Covington; Ron’s Roost in Bridgetown.

(Honorable mentions) Richies; Colonial Cottage in Erlanger; The Golden Lamb in Lebanon; The Hitching Post in the East End.

Best tacos Oh, that time we went on a taco quest through 25 (!!!) taco joints around town. Here’s who had the best at each price point, from $1 to $5+.

The winners: ($1-$2) Tortilleria Garcia in Springdale and College Hill. ($2-$3) Taco loco taco truck in Pleasant Ridge; La Torta Loca in Florence; Lita’s in Florence. ($3-$4) Mazunte in Madisonville and Downtown. ($4-$5) Bakersfi eld in Over-the-Rhine. ($5 and up) Frida’s in Covington.

Best burgers From cheap to fancy, it’s a great time to fi nd your new favorite burger. Eat it in your car, take it home, take it to a park. No matter how you do it, these burgers are ready for your to-go order.

The winners: Wendy’s, Frisch’s, The Turf Club,

A chef statue shows the specials at Vincenzo's in Sharonville. Vincenzo and Andrea Mazzocca have been serving customers Italian cuisine from Northern Italy since 1996. LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER

Chandler’s Burger Bistro, Sonder Brewing/BrewRiver, Bru Burger, Tickle Pickle, Mad Mike’s, Delwood Cafe and Mama’s Grill.

Best restaurants These are the best of the best, the high-quality hitters. They are not just options for home meal replacement. They are full service, off er a wine list and cocktails, take reservations and serve a varied menu.

The winners: (Fine dining) Restaurant L Downtown (now closed), Boca Downtown, Orchids Downtown, Jean Robert’s Table Downtown.

(Steak) Jeff Ruby, Precinct, Carlo and Johnny.

(Upscale Italian) Sotto Downtown, Nicola’s in OTR, Primavista in East Price Hill.

(Elevated ethnic) Mita’s Downtown, Phoenician Taverna in Mason, French Crust in OTR. (Contemporary and locavore) Please in OTR, Bouquet in Covington, Salazar in OTR. See EATS, Page 10B

Best bistros

Best Italian

A bistro is sophisticated in their execution but unfussy in presentation, dishes with soul. Not fi ne dining, but not bar food, either. There’s probably an excellent burger on the menu. And not Italian, because that’s a diff erent list (see below). There are many restaurants that fall into the category. These are the ones that do it best.

The winners: Red Feather in Oakley, Senate in OTR and Blue Ash, Otto’s in Covington, Zula Bistro in OTR, Panino in OTR, Coppin’s in Covington, Commonwealth in Covington, Tano Bistro in Loveland.

Everyone has their own spot on the Italian cuisine spectrum that means “good Italian restaurant” to them. So this list of the best Italian in Cincinnati comes in categories, from best all-around to best old friend.

The winners: (Best all-around) Forno in Hyde Park and Montgomery.

(Most sincerely authentic) Sotto Downtown.

(Best ratio of price to quality) Pepp and Dolores in OTR. (Best fi ne-dining) Nicola’s in OTR. (Best old friend) Vincenzo’s in Sharonville.

(Best old-school Italian American) TIE: Scotti’s Downtown and Pompilio’s in Newport.

Best Favorite beer After six rounds of fan voting, 66,586 votes tallied,

Nada's Pastor Taco comes in an order of three with chile-marinated pork, cilantro, pickled white onion and lime cabbage. THE ENQUIRER/MADISON SCHMIDT

259 beers from 52 breweries defeated ... we crowned our winner of Cincinnati’s Favorite Beer 2020. A note for sticklers: We don’t say “best” beer because we all have diff erent tastes and opinions, this NCAA-style bracket was done by popular vote through several rounds of fan voting.
