Cincinnati’s lost founding father never saw settlement Jeff Suess Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Erikka describes her fashion as “a lot.”

She loves bright colors. It’s not uncommon for her to have pinks and blues in her hair. Most of the

John Filson was one of the founder fathers of Cincinnati, but he never saw it.

In 1788, he was a partner in a venture to start up a settlement along the Ohio River. Filson had completed the initial survey of the basin where Cincinnati would later set and had contributed a name. He called it Losantiville.

Then, Filson disappeared in the wilderness near the Great Miami River before the fi rst settlers arrived.

Much of what is known of Filson’s early life has been cobbled together with conjecture. It is supposed he was born about 1747 (one biography says 1753) in Chester County, Pennsylvania.

A historic register lists a John Filson as an ensign with the PennA portrait sylvania 1st Regiment purported Flying Camp during the to be John Revolutionary War who Filson. FILE was injured and taken prisoner during the Battle of Fort Washington in New York in 1776.

The portrait of Filson is based on a sketch found on the fl yleaf of a book with his name next to it.

He was a teacher and surveyor in Pennsylvania, then about 1782 he acquired some land in Kentucky, which was then part of Virginia. He relocated to Lexington where he taught school and traveled throughout the region, chronicling his meetings with the early settlers, including a fellow called Daniel Boone.

In 1784, Filson published the book “The Discovery, Settlement and Present State of Kentucke” along with an invaluable map.

“When I visited Kentucke, I found it so far to exceed my expectations, although great, that I concluded it was a pity; that the world had not adequate information of it,” Filson wrote. “I conceived that a proper description, and map of it, were objects highly interesting to the United States…”

The book and map sold for $1.50.

There were 1,500 sold. Filson asked George Washington to write a letter for a second edition, but the general politely declined because the map wasn’t based on surveys.

The most remarkable part of the book was the appendix, containing “The Adventures of Col. Daniel Boon” (the spelling of his name hadn’t been formalized). Filson had listened to Boone’s stories and “published them from his own mouth.”

The book established Boone’s legend, tales of rescuing his daughter and two women who had been abducted by Shawnee warriors, of being captured

n a room with big windows and walls decorated with bright pinks and purples, Erikka Franklin gets to work on her sewing machine. Crafting supplies and stuff ed animals fi ll the area surrounding her. A pet hamster runs on an exercise wheel in a corner. h This is the space where Erikka runs her business. It’s her bedroom, herl classroom and the studio for all of her latest designs.h And business is thriving for the 14-year-old.

Erikka started sewing when she was 6 years old with help from her grandma and parents. It started with sock dolls that Erikka sewed on her own, and her mom helped her sell them in booths at Findlay Market.

Now the teenager has her own brand of fanny packs called fannysofab. She’s also recently began selling bedazzled face masks and custom designed sweatshirts.

Why fanny packs?

“They’re such a good accessory; I put my phone in there, my lip gloss in there,” Erikka said.

It started for fun but Erikka says she’s gotten a lot of support. When she saw fanny packs were making a comeback, she started creating her own bright and sparkly custom designs.

“This is something I want to do, this is something I want to create diff erently.”

Like a lot of Gen Z kids, Erikka teaches herself how to make clothing by watching videos on YouTube.

Erikka runs her business out of her family home in Cheviot. It’s not only where she sleeps, designs and learns, she also makes videos and photos for her Instagram and YouTube channel.

Erikka’s line of colorful, decorated fanny packs is called fannysofab.

Fanny packs, but make it fashion

fanny packs are gold, silver, hot pink and, of course, sparkly and designed with statements, stars and other graphics.

“I’m so open-minded in what I wear. One day I might wear a sweat suit.

And the next day I might layer a little bit, maybe put on a turtleneck and a T-shirt, maybe colorful jeans,” Erikka said. And that’s the way it’s been since her mom started letting her dress herself in kindergarten.

The pandemic has given Erikka time to focus on her craft, creating more this past year than ever before, especially with the help of her mom and dad. The ninth-grade student has an Etsy shop now to sell the fanny packs and masks.

Each fanny pack costs $25. “Whatever picture, or hobby, even if you want to put your name on it, I can do that,” she said.

These designs have taken her across the country from Los Angeles to New York.

Her fanny packs have also reached celebrities, such as fashion infl uencer Taylen Biggs, “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kandi Burruss and singer Kehlani.

Washington was called the American Cincinnatus.

“The governor has made Losantiville, the county town, by the name of Cincinnati, so that Losantiville will become extinct,” Symmes wrote.

Filson entered a partnership with Mathias Denman and Col. Robert Patterson in August 1788 to start a new settlement.

Denman had purchased 747 acres from John Cleves Symmes, who owned more than 300,000 acres in what is now Hamilton, Butler and Warren counties.

Denman was a land prospector from New Jersey, Patterson a colonel in the Kentucky militia who had helped establish Lexington.

Filson was brought in as a surveyor with the hope that he could write something to drum up interest from prospective settlers.

They placed an ad in the Kentucky Gazette: “The subscribers, being proprietors of a tract of land opposite the mouth of the Licking river, on the northwest side of the Ohio, have determined to lay off a town upon that excellent location. The local and natural advantages speak its prosperity, being equal if not superior to any on the banks of the Ohio between the Miamis. ...”

Filson concocted the name Losantiville from several languages (“L” for Licking, “os” is Latin for mouth, “anti” is Greek for opposite and “ville” is French for city), meaning “city opposite the mouth of the Licking River.”

Historian Lewis Collins called Losantiville “a pedagogical and unmusical name” and wrote, “The invention of such a name was positively cruel in Mr. Filson; we hope it had no connection to his early death.”

On or near Oct. 1, 1788, Filson accompanied Symmes to survey more of the territory, including what would become North Bend. Filson became separated from the party and was left alone in the woods near the Great Miami River. He was never seen again.

Everyone presumed he was killed by hostile Shawnee, but his body was never found.

Israel Ludlow replaced Filson as partner and surveyor of Losantiville. Flatboats arrived at the Ohio River shore on Dec. 28, 1788. Ludlow made his own plan of the new settlement, and that is what was used.

In 1790, Gen. Arthur St. Clair, the president of the Northwest Territory, came to inspect the new Fort Washington. He disliked the name Losantiville and offi cially named the settlement Cincinnati

Lawsuit: Police detained autistic man for being ‘a Black man walking’ Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Two Cincinnati police offi cers pursued and detained an autistic Black man – without reasonable suspicion – repeatedly “tasing” the man as they held him down “with a knee shoved into his back,” a lawsuit says.

The 32-year-old man, Brandon Davis, had no criminal record, the lawsuit says. He had been walking home from a friend’s apartment. His attorneys say he was targeted “for no reason other than he happened to be a Black man walking at night.”

The lawsuit says the offi cers justifi ed their actions by inventing reasons for stopping Davis, which led to him being jailed for a night and later prosecuted on misdemeanor charges. Among the charges: Jaywalking and being in a park after dark. Davis was acquitted in 2019 of all charges including resisting arrest.

A Cincinnati police spokesman said the department doesn’t comment on pending litigation.

The civil rights lawsuit was fi led Feb. 2 in federal court in Cincinnati by attorneys with the fi rm Friedman, Gilbert and Gerhardstein. It alleges false arrest,

unreasonable seizure and malicious prosecution.

On Feb. 4, 2019, sometime after 11 p.m., Davis left his friend’s apartDavis ment to walk the few blocks to the home he shared with his mother in Millvale.

According to the lawsuit: Because of his autism, Davis had a safety routine that involved calling his mother and taking the same route every time he went somewhere. Davis followed the routine that evening and let his mother know he was on his way.

His route went along, but not through, the Wayne Recreation Area, which has tennis courts, a basketball court, a playground and ball fi elds. Davis said he didn’t go into the park.

As Davis, who was on Beekman Street, crossed Dreman Avenue, the offi cers drove up to the area, and both asked him “to come over and talk to” them, the lawsuit says. Davis responded that he hadn’t done anything wrong.

Despite not having a reason to detain or arrest Davis, the lawsuit says, Offi cers Emily Heine and Weston Voss “rapidly approached” him. It says the offi -

cers “gave competing commands,” and Voss threatened to use his Taser on Davis.

Because of his autism, the lawsuit says Davis was overwhelmed by the fl ashing lights from the police cruiser and loud noises.

He took out his cellphone to call his mother for help. Body camera video shows the cellphone in Davis’ hand and his other hand raised.

The offi cers then shoved Davis against a chain-link fence, the lawsuit says, and Heine used her Taser on Davis repeatedly – a total of seven times – within a period of about two minutes.

The lawsuit says Heine and Voss pushed Davis to the ground and Voss “dug his knee” into Davis’ back, holding him down while Heine shoved her Taser into Davis, shocking him.

With the offi cers on top of him, the lawsuit says Davis – who according to court documents was 5-foot-10 and weighed 130 pounds – “pleaded again and again with Heine and Voss to stop tasing him.”

The lawsuit says the offi cers continually demanded that Davis put his hands behind his back, even though bodycam video showed that his hands

were behind his back.

The lawsuit says Davis didn’t resist arrest, threaten or harm anyone, and didn’t “engage in any behavior that would justify (the offi cers’) attack.” At some point during the incident, Davis managed to call his mother, and she could hear his screams of pain over the phone, the lawsuit says. She ran down the street to fi nd him.

The lawsuit describes how Davis continued to tell the offi cers, including a supervisor who arrived at the scene, that he hadn’t done anything wrong.

The supervisor’s response, according to the lawsuit: “How old are you, young man?”

“I’m 32,” Davis said.

“You know how this game goes, then.

Chill out,” the supervisor said.

The supervisor’s response, the lawsuit says, indicated “he believed that because Brandon Davis was an adult Black man, he must have experienced the pain, fear and humiliation of this type of event before and should therefore ‘chill out.’ ” An internal review found that the offi cers’ use of the Taser was within department policy and procedure, the lawsuit says, and they were not disciplined.

Primavista’s case against insurer over COVID-19 losses to proceed Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Hamilton County judge has allowed a lawsuit to proceed against an insurance company that denied coverage to the restaurant Primavista for losses caused by the pandemic.

The ruling helps pave the way for other restaurants that lost money because of the coronavirus pandemic to pursue litigation against insurers who denied their claims.

Primavista’s lawsuit was fi led in May , two months after Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine declared a state of emergency,

closing many businesses. he lawsuit said the restaurant’s insurer, the Cincinnati Insurance Co., refused to cover losses caused by the governor’s order.

Primavista had to lay off staff , and the lawsuit said its existence was threatened.

Cincinnati Insurance sought to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that there was no actual property damage, a threshold for coverage under Primavista’s policy.

But Common Pleas Judge Thomas Beridon ruled earlier in January that determining whether the pandemic or

the governor’s orders caused property damage was a question of fact.

“As such, a reasonable jury could fi nd that Primavista was entitled to coverage,” Beridon said in his ruling.

One of Primavista’s attorneys, Steve Wolterman, called Beridon’s ruling “very signifi cant.”

The East Price Hill restaurant eventually reopened in a limited capacity.

“The restaurant industry is limping along as outdoor seating options are limited, restrictions on indoor dining are onerous, and much of the public is fearful of eating out,” Primavista’s attorneys say in recently fi led court docu-

ments. “Every week that goes by on the litigation calendar is another week that payroll must be met and bills must be paid – without the benefi t of the insurance Primavista bargained for and paid for.”

Primavista’s attorneys say the policy covered losses due to the suspension of operations and for expenses incurred to minimize the suspension.

There was no coverage limit for loss from viruses or pandemics, they say.

A similar lawsuit against Cincinnati Insurance fi led by the Taste of Belgium chain also is pending in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court.

McGuff ey settlement cost doubles Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The cost for Hamilton County taxpayers to settle the lawsuit fi led by new Sheriff Charmaine McGuff ey will double after a federal judge awarded attorneys fees and costs.

Judge Susan Dlott on Jan. 21 awarded McGuff ey's attorneys an additional $239,547 in attorneys' fees and $22,952 in costs.

That's in addition to the $212,500 Hamilton County agreed in December to pay McGuff ey in lost wages and benefi ts after she was fi red from the sheriff 's offi ce in 2017.

McGuff ey's attorneys were Cincinnati-based Randolph Freking, Kelly Myers and Laura Wilson.

The county is getting a discount on legal costs, Dlott said in the order. The

Hamilton County Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey poses in the breezeway at the Hamilton County Justice Center on her fi rst day, Jan. 4.

LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER

requested attorney hourly rates of $425 and $350 were below the $506 an hour rate permitted, Dlott wrote.

"The court fi nds this fee request to be more than reasonable under the specifi c circumstances of this case," Dlott wrote.

This brings total costs to the county $474,999.

Her attorneys earned every dime, McGuff ey told Enquirer reporters Sharon Coolidge and Jason Williams Thursday on the That's So Cincinnati Podcast.

The previous sheriff 's administration created a massive amount of paperwork to justify her fi ring, McGuff ey said.

"It was a massive amount of documentation of gossip and innuendos and just, quite frankly, I’ll just be frank cause I said I’ll call it like I see it, I think that was by design," McGuff ey said, "Because to defend that, to fret out the facts after all that, they earned every dime of it.”

McGuff ey, 62, fi led suit against the sheriff 's department in 2018 and

claimed the fi ring was a result of her being a whistleblower who exposed excessive use of force by the sheriff 's deputies and corrections offi cers She also contended in the lawsuit some within the department didn't like the fact she was an openly gay woman.

McGuff ey had worked for the sheriff 's department since 1983 and worked her way up to major in charge of the county jail by the time she was fi red.

She beat her predecessor, Jim Neil, the man who fi red her, with 70% of the vote in the 2020 Democratic Primary.

She took offi ce Jan. 4.

The settlement reached last month means the case will not go to trial. The county did not admit to any of the allegations in the lawsuit.

Reporters Sharon Coolidge and Jason Williams contributed.

Why new Sheriff McGuff ey ‘missed the prisoners’ Jason Williams and Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

New Hamilton County Sheriff Charmaine McGuff ey really missed the department during her nearly four years out of uniform.

The 33-year law enforcement veteran missed many of her old coworkers. She missed putting on the black-and-gold uniform each day. And she missed the jail inmates.

Wait. What?

Any doubt there’s a new sheriff in town? It would be hard to imagine the county’s previous two sheriff s – Jim Neil and Si Leis – saying that.

McGuff ey, who spent several years overseeing the county jail, has brought a fresh approach to the offi ce after being elected in November – and that includes treating inmates with a balance of tough love and dignity.

McGuff ey – one of the fi rst openly LGBTQ sheriff s in the U.S. and the fi rst woman elected to the position in Hamil-

ton County – explained her approach to the job during an in-depth discussion with The Enquirer’s That’s So Cincinnati podcast.

“The bulk of my experience has been inside this jail,” said McGuff ey, one of only three women county sheriff s in Ohio. “I walked in here in my early 20s.

Unfortunately, some of the prisoners that I knew back then, I still know now.

They’re still coming back. The thing that worries me is: why?”

McGuff ey continued: “There are boundaries that you set as an offi cer.

You are the authority. But in general, you get to know people. You get to know their circumstances, and you can certainly understand why they’re where they are. And the other piece of this is: appreciate them. I appreciate their senses of humor. I appreciate their life experiences. So yeah, I missed the prisoners.”

McGuff ey talked about criminal justice reform on the campaign last year, and the 62-year-old West Side native has wasted no time following through

on that promise during her fi rst month on the job. Case in point: She’s investing in inmate care.

And unlike some of her predecessors, McGuff ey isn’t going to complain constantly about jail overcrowding. Nor will she push for a new county jail.

There are nearly 1,300 inmates currently housed in the jail, and here’s what McGuff ey said about helping to improve their lives: “This county does not need a new jail. We can fi x the one we have. We just need to get in there and do it. There’s hard things to do. We need to fi nd alternatives in the way of community corrections for low-level off enders. We’re working on things like improving the food. Just today we created an addition to the policy for prisoners who are in medical and mental health units that they get good linens. I mean sheets and a blanket that’s very clean (and) in good shape.

“Those are small things. But those are things that improve people’s lives, and when they walk out the door,

they’re a lot less likely to re-off end when we get them healthy and whole again.

It’s treating people with dignity so that when they walk out of there they feel confi dent enough to seek help.”

To anyone who may criticize her approach as too soft, McGuff ey said: “I’m not pie-in-the-sky. I am very law and order. I’m very rooted in reality, I promise you that. The years in the jail, they make you know that reality is real.

But I believe we can do so much better.

“I would say to those people, ‘Please remember, those inmates are getting out of jail. At some point in time, they will walk back into your neighborhood.

And would you rather have them be more enlightened; perhaps have a different frame of mind; perhaps feel enfranchised enough to join the community?’ The way to do that is build them that way (and) not create a situation where all you’re doing is punishing them day to day to day. You just can’t do that with people and build up self-esteem. That’s part of reform. Let’s change the mindset.

Teachers union is holding school district, families hostage Your Turn Betsy Sundermann Guest columnist

COVID-19 has turned our worlds upside down. Friends and family have lost jobs, some of our favorite businesses have closed, and people we love have gotten sick. The businesses and people deemed essential have continued to work: fi refi ghters, police offi cers, grocery store employees, lawyers, nurses, public service providers, construction workers, social workers and so on.

Schools are an essential service and teachers are essential workers. Cincinnati Public Schools should be open and teachers should be teaching.

The Center for Disease Control said the risk of exposure to COVID-19 in school settings is minimal if safety precautions are taken. Dozens of public school districts in the region – Oak Hills, Northwest and Sycamore to name a few – have found ways to keep their doors open and their kids in the classroom.

CPS has opted to not even make fulltime in-person school an option.

Parents deserve options. If a parent or child is medically high-risk, that family should have the option to attend virtual school at the child’s actual school.

With laptops and tablets, many schools

outside of CPS have created this option.

If a teacher is high-risk and can provide medical proof, that teacher should be able to manage virtual learners, be reassigned to another job that can be done virtually, or be given the option to take a hiatus from teaching.

My mom was a teacher and principal here in Cincinnati. My brother is a professor. My father, husband and I have been adjunct professors. My grandma was a teacher. I watched my mom and her fellow teachers make daily sacrifi ces for their students and witnessed how seriously they took the great responsibility that comes with being a teacher.

Teachers want their students to succeed.

The CPS distance learning model did not work for my two little girls. How was my youngest child supposed to start preschool on a computer? How was my older child, a beginner reader, supposed to work independently for more than half of the week? I’ve seen the impact of distance learning on my own kids. Being at home instead of in a classroom was emotionally and academically devastating. My oldest daughter became severely despondent from being isolated from her friends. She slept in our bed for months (very unusual for her) due to anxiety and broke down in tears daily, begging to go back to school. I’ve felt helpless – it’s my job as a mom to pro-

tect them and give them what they need to thrive.

I realize every child and family situation is diff erent, but we parents should be given a choice to either send our kids into a classroom or have them learn from home. We have not been given that choice.

My husband and I made the diffi cult decision to take our girls out of Cincinnati Public Schools a couple of months ago and enroll them in a private school that has been meeting in person. This decision wasn’t easy for us and was an option many parents don’t have. Parents who are able to choose private schools will continue to pull their kids out of CPS. I was relieved when CPS recently announced the restart of the blended learning model, a step toward getting back to full-time school. Unfortunately, I learned on Jan. 29 that the Cincinnati Federation of Teachers sued to keep our schools closed. It is clear the teachers union won’t be satisfi ed until there is absolutely zero risk to teachers, which is unrealistic. Taking away an in-person option for CPS families is all about the teachers union, not about what is in the best interests of our children. We’ve seen the same agenda carried out by teachers unions around the country, and our kids are the ones paying the price.

My intention is not to disparage teachers. My family is full of them, and many of them are itching to get back in the classroom. My criticism is aimed at the teachers union that is holding our children, our teachers, the school board, Cincinnati Public Schools and our families hostage. Do you see unions for police offi cers, fi refi ghters or grocery store workers, suing to avoid doing their jobs because of possible exposure to COVID-19? No. I fully expect an onslaught of anger directed toward me because of this opinion. I’m fi ne with that. Someone needs to stand up for Cincinnati kids and parents. I feel a responsibility as a public servant, but more importantly as a mom, to do whatever it takes for our kids. There is nothing we moms won’t do for our sons and daughters.

Also, please understand that I have two jobs that are both essential services. I am a Cincinnati City Council member and attend council meetings in person. I am also a mental health lawyer. I have been visiting my clients in psychiatric hospitals and representing them in court throughout the pandemic.

Essential work cannot stop.

Man, 79, who sexually abused girl in photos sentenced to 20 years Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A 79-year-old Green Township man who documents say had collected thousands of images of child pornography was sentenced Jan. 27 to 20 years in prison.

Thomas Winkelbach pleaded guilty last year in federal court in Cincinnati to sexually exploiting a girl who was between 1 and 2 years old. Child pornog-

raphy charges were dropped as part of the plea. According to court documents, Winkelbach used a digital camera to take sexually explicit photos of the girl touching his genitals, as well as photos of him masturbating in front of the girl.

Winkelbach told investigators that he and his wife babysat the child, the documents say.

After Winkelbach’s plea in July 2020, federal prosecutors sought forfeiture of property that contained “an unlawful

visual depiction and/or was used or intended to be used to commit the offense.”

Among the items U.S. District Judge Michael Barrett ordered Winkelbach to forfeit were 25 hard drives, 10 cameras, eight laptops, tablets or computers, and multiple fl ash drives, memory cards and CD-ROMs. For years, according to investigators, Winkelbach was searching for, downloaded and traded child pornography on

the internet. He estimated he had between 5,000 and 10,000 images and videos of child pornography, court documents say.

He was identifi ed by investigators after an agent was able to download child pornography from Winkelbach’s IP address, court documents say. Winkelbach’s home in the 5200 block of Race Road was searched in October 2019, but he was vacationing in Florida, according to the documents.

Coff ee cake: ‘She called it blueberry boy bait. You can guess why’ Blueberry coffee cake (aka blueberry boy bait)

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Adapted slightly from Once Upon a Chef site.

Yesterday, I went to the grocery with a list. All resolve left me when I spied a display of fresh, huge, beautiful blueberries in the produce section. Not on my list, but on sale! Impulse buying? Yes, and no regrets. Especially on a snowy day with thoughts of a warm fi re, a piece of fresh-baked blueberry coff ee cake accompanied by a mug of steaming tea.

Sound good to you? Then you’ll enjoy making this moist and pretty blueberry coff ee cake known as blueberry boy bait. The story goes that a young girl baked it way back in the ‘50s for a baking contest. She called it blueberry boy bait. You can guess why. It’s still a popular coff ee cake today.

With Valentine’s Day coming up, this coff ee cake would be a memorable “gift without ribbons” for that special someone.

For those of you craving chocolate to celebrate, try the easy chocolate caramel fondue.

One more thing: during this pandemic, think of those needing a lift. A funny Valentine card, call or treat will bring a smile, and a grateful spirit.

I upped the vanilla since I didn’t have lemon zest.

Ingredients Streusel ⁄ 3 cup packed brown sugar, light or dark

1

⁄ 2 cup flour

1

1 1⁄ 4teaspoons cinnamon ⁄ 4 teaspoon salt

1

4 tablespoons butter, cold, diced small

This blueberry coffee cake recipe has been popular since the 1950s.

2 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder ⁄ 4 teaspoon salt

1

⁄ 2 cup butter, softened

1

⁄ 4 cup sugar

I love you chocolate caramel fondue Easy peasy. Let little ones help.

Ingredients

2 large eggs 1 tablespoon vanilla or 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 1⁄ 2 teaspoons vanilla ⁄ 2 cup milk

1

14 oz can sweetened condensed milk 12 oz jar caramel topping

2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, not defrosted)

1 1⁄ 2 to 2 cups semi or bittersweet chocolate, chopped or good quality morsels

Instructions

Dippers: marshmallows, strawberries, banana slices, cake cubes or whatever!

Instructions Put milk, topping and chocolate into nonstick pan over low heat. Whisk until melted and smooth.

Serve

Whisk everything but butter together.

Add butter and use fi ngers to mix until crumbly.

Cake

Add eggs one at a time, beating well. Add vanilla (and zest, if using).

Bake 40 to 45 minutes, until golden and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Mine took about 40. Don’t overbake.

Add flour mixture, alternating with milk, on low to combine.

Add berries and fold in gently.

Don’t over mix.

Spread into pan. Sprinkle streusel evenly over batter. Start at outside edges so streusel doesn’t pile up in center with not enough to go around edges.

Whisk flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

Rewarm gently in microwave.

This cake is perfect for a winter day with a cup of tea.

Beat butter and sugar on medium speed until creamy.

Streusel

Preheat oven to 375. Butter or spray 9” pan.

In bowl, small slow cooker or individual ramekins, surrounded by dippers.

Dust berries with a bit of flour to keep from sinking during baking.

Freeze up to 3 months.

Tips Whisk flour before measuring.

This lightens flour up, giving more accurate measurement.

SPORTS La Salle quarterback Zach Branam signs with Navy Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

La Salle's Zach Branam had a stellar game on the ground for the Lancers in thier 35-10 win over Winton Woods on Nov. 6.

GEOFF BLANKENSHIP FOR THE ENQUIRER

MONFORT HEIGHTS - At December’s Early Signing Day for college football, La Salle High School paraded out four Division I recruits with Jaylen Johnson going to Ohio State, Devonta Smith to Alabama, Iesa Jarmon to Cincinnati and Jaymar Mundy to Miami University.

One of the Greater Catholic LeagueSouth’s Tri-Players of the Year, Lancers quarterback Zach Branam, was not there. Branam was La Salle’s starter in 2019 when they won the Ohio Division II state title his junior year.

In 15 games as a junior, Branam threw for 1,676 yards and 21 touchdowns and ran for 1,394 and 14 scores.

With the season shortened to 11 games as a senior, he still threw for 1,536 yards and 11 touchdowns and ran for 1,395 yards and 19 more. He ran for 253 yards and fi ve scores against Moeller as a junior and 257 and four touchdowns vs. Anderson in a playoff game this past fall.

Despite some jaw-dropping games, Branam’s off ers were not at the Division I level and he originally committed to Valparaiso.

However, patience and persistence paid off and when Navy assistant coach P.J. Volker called with an off er, Branam was onboard the big ship as quickly as you can say, “Ken Niumatalolo.”

On Feb. 3, he inked his letter-of-intent to coach Niumatalolo’s Midshipmen.

‘I defi nitely had a chip on my shoulder, but I think that’s just the driving motivation for me,” Branam said. “That really pushed me to do well. Hopefully, I proved everybody wrong.”

Added La Salle coach Pat McLaughlin, “I think he was underrated or overlooked to some degree, but it never bothered him. Whether the game was going well or it was a struggle, Zach never changed his tone. He just kept playing and kept working.”

Where some schools may have backed off on a quarterback listed at 5foot-10 and 200 pounds, Navy embraces skill players of that size in their toughto-defend triple-option running scheme.

Plus, McLaughlin said Branam can squat between 400 and 500 pounds.

“Their style of off ense compliments my game,” Branam said. “I’m really looking forward to running the triple-option and everything they do. We’ll do great together.”

An added plus is the Midshipmen play in the American Athletic ConferSee BRANAM, Page 2B

Exclusive: Here’s the beer you’ll fi nd at the West End soccer stadium Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

It may not be clear when fans will be able to go to the new FC Cincinnati stadium in the West End, but this much is certain: There will be plenty of beer.

Throughout the stadium, fans will fi nd 166 draft beer taps, among the most in Major League Soccer stadiums, and 34 distinct brands of craft, domestic and import beers.

“Cincinnati has a unique food and beverage story if you look at our local history and culture,” Nigel Chalkley, director of food and beverage operations for the West End Stadium, told The Enquirer. “We wanted to bring Cincinnati into the stadium. Cincinnati is one of the number one craft-brewing cities in the country. That is a story we want to tell.”

FC Cincinnati has partnered with two neighboring Over-the-Rhine breweries

Rhinegeist Brewery will partner with FC Cincinnati as a beer sponsor in the West End stadium. PROVIDED

– Rhinegeist and Sam Adams, a way to lend a neighborhood feel to the stadium, said Vince Cicero, FC Cincinnati’s vice president for partnerships and broadcasting.

In addition to the local beer, Molson Coors will be the team’s offi cial domes-

tic beer partner and Heineken will be the offi cial import beer.

There have been plenty of sneak peeks during construction of the 26,000-seat West End Stadium since it broke ground in December 2018, but the beer partnerships shed light on what the inside of the stadium will feel like.

Visitors will fi nd: h The Heineken Star Bar behind fan section The Bailey, the largest bar in the stadium h The Coors Light Corner Bar in the northeast corner of the stadium h The Sam Adams Grab-N-Go Market on the main concourse The team also announced a partnership with Wings and Rings, in addition to previously announced partners Skyline Chili, LaRosa’s and Frisch’s.

Technology will allow for in-seat ordering of beverages from every seat using the FCC mobile app, a nod to the need for quick service during fast-paced

soccer matches with no breaks.

Marissa Beck, director of strategic partnerships for Rhinegeist, said the brewery’s owners have been following FC Cincinnati since the team’s inception, even hosting the MLS franchise announcement in the brewery’s taproom in 2018.

“We’re thrilled to be a nearby, go-to pre-and post-game destination for FC Cincinnati fans,” Beck said.

It’s still not clear when the West End Stadium will open, but on Jan. 25, MLS announced a delay of the season until early April.

Nor has the schedule, which will dictate the fi rst home game, been released.

It’s unclear how many fans will be allowed to attend the game due to COVID-19 capacity restrictions.

Who’s hot in high school ice hockey?

USA TODAY NETWORK

Jack Frambes and Brennan MortonStrauss, Moeller

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Feb. 4.

Ice rinks may be sparse in Greater Cincinnati, but that doesn’t stop high schools from fi elding teams with highly skilled players and teams that can rank among the state’s best.

Here, in no particular order, are ice hockey players from Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky that have shown some skills while playing on their skates.

The Crusaders have not one, but two goalies that dominate. Frambes, the senior goaltender, shut out four teams and saved a whopping 94.5% of the shots he faced. Frambes had a 1.38 goal against average per game. The junior MortonStrauss has notched fi ve shutouts and owns Moeller’s all-time shutout mark.

MortonStrauss broke the record in a 1-0 win over Talawanda when the Braves were the No. 6 team in Ohio.

MortonStrauss has saved 93% of the shots he’s seen.

Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer

Nathan Sunderhaus, Northern Kentucky Norse In 47 games played, Sunderhaus leads the Norse in goals, assists and points by a wide margin. Sunderhaus has put 64 pucks into the net, 36 more goals than his closest teammate. As for assists, Sunderhaus’ 40 are 17 ahead of teammate Garrett Elliott.

Those number give Sunderhaus 104 total points, making him the Norse leader over Elliott and Mark Dugan by 58 points, more than doubling the other duo’s 46 points each.

Ben Shrider, Talawanda Talawanda has consistently been among the state’s top 10 in coaches polls this season and its highest scorer through 25 games was Ben Shrider.

Shrider had a total of 40 points coming from 17 goals and 23 assists, both tied for highs on the team. Shrider also picked up another team high by winning 55.2% of his faceoff s.

ence, so his family can see him against the Cincinnati Bearcats both home and away.

As a scout team member his fi rst two seasons at La Salle, he had to battle the likes of current UC tight end Josh Whyle.

“I think his game is going to translate very well,” McLaughlin said of Branam. “He’s also smart which you have to be in that system with pre-and post-snap decisions. I look forward to him going there being successful and having a lot of playing time.”

McLaughlin says 2019 Lancer linebacker Luke Thiemann is at a prep school now and will be joining Branam’s class at Navy.

“I wish both sides well, West Point and Navy, but I’ll be defi nitely rooting for Navy,” McLaughlin said of the

St. Xavier's Trevor Tiemeyer has produced 16 goals and fi ve assists this season.

GEOFF BLANKENSHIP FOR THE ENQUIRER

John Piehowicz, St. Xavier The senior goalie has faced over 450 shots for the Bombers and notched a save percentage of 87%.

Grady Holmes, Talawanda Shrider may have had the most points on Talawanda’s squad, but his teammate, Grady Holmes, played right up to par with him.

Holmes scored 15 goals and also contributed 23 assists through 25 games in which the Braves were 185-2.

Holmes was the leader on the team with 221 faceoff wins, beating Shrider by 40 wins. Holmes’ 54% faceoff winning percentage was second for Talawanda.

Danny Murrow, Springboro Murrow is a senior forward for the Panthers and acts as an alternate captain. Murrow leads Springboro off ensively with 16 goals and nine assists for 25 points.

Playing on the other side, Murrow is also Springboro’s best in getting in front of the puck with the most blocked shots on the team.

Daniel Emenaker, Talawanda Eemenaker played in nearly just under 19 of Talawanda’s fi rst 25 games and led the Braves to an 18-5-2 record. Between the pipes, Emenaker allowed just 32 goals while making 386 stops for a 92.3% saves rate.

Trevor Tiemeyer, St. Xavier A senior team captain for the Bombers, Tiemeyer notched 16 goals and fi ve assists and was a focal point of St. Xavier’s power play and penalty kill special teams.

annual battle for the Commander-in-Cheif ’s Trophy.

For what it’s worth, a local has previously fared well at the quarterback position at Navy.

Out of the old Purcell High School, Roger Staubach won the Heisman Trophy at Navy in 1963.

After his service commitment, he had a successful NFL career with the Dallas Cowboys. Even after that, Staubach made millions in real estate.

Branam is also thinking of an end game with his plans to major in mechanical engineering at Annapolis. Make no mistake, the Midshipmen will be getting an intelligent quarterback.

“Forget football, you have an amazing university that will set you up for life,” Branam said.

Deadline to nominate volunteers for Jeff erson Award is Feb. 12 The Enquirer

If you have heard of or witnessed the selfl essness of a community member, neighbor or friend, it's time to shine a light on their eff orts. You can now nominate outstanding volunteers in Greater Cincinnati for the Jeff erson Award for Public Service.

Nominations are accepted from anyone in the community. Deadline is Friday, Feb. 12, 2021. Three fi nalists will be selected.

Go to www.cincinnati. com/jeff ersonawards to fi ll out an application.

Bob Herzog of Local 12 will present the Jeff erson Award at the weekly Rotary luncheon, scheduled for noon Thursday, March 25, in the Hilton Netherland Hall of Mirrors downtown. Local 12 and The Enquirer are media sponsors.

“While this year has been challenging, it has also brought out the best in people in our community,” said Bill Shula, Jeff er-

Craig Young's passion for philanthropy, volunteerism and empowering generations and regional organizations helped him earn the 2020 Jefferson Award.

CINCINNATI CARES

son Award Committee Chair. “We’re excited to be able to highlight some of the great volunteerism and meaningful contributions of people who are doing amazing things.”

Local software entrepreneur Craig Young, founder and director of Inspiring Service which locally operates as Cincinnati Cares, was honored last February as

Cincinnati’s winner.

Young was cited for his philanthropy, volunteerism and creating of innovative solutions to empower regional organizations.

The award is from the Rotary Club of Cincinnati and the American Institute of Public Service. The winner goes to Washington, D.C., in June to represent the region for the national award. The local winner has won the national honor eight times.

This is the 16th year the Rotary Club of Cincinnati has coordinated the award. It is one of the organization's community service programs.

The award was created in 1972 by a Cincinnati native, then-U.S. Senator Robert Taft, and former fi rst lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

It is presented annually to recipients in more than 90 cities in the United States.

Vintage Husman’s potato chip tins go for top dollar online after company canned Jeff Suess Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Some folks are cashing in on their chips.

Vintage cans for Husman’s Potato Chips are hot commodities since the manufacturer recently announced that the popular Cincinnati snack brand will soon disappear.

Collectors who have saved the tin cans advertising Husman’s as “The Best” or “Easy to Digest” are fi nding top dollar on online sites like eBay and Etsy.

A three-pound tin can from 1999 commemorating Husman’s 80th anniversary is listed on eBay for $299.95.

A much older Husman’s can with “dents and dings,” good for storage or “a second-life as a waste basket” has a current bid of $82.

A rusted tin listed as “rustic metal decor” is posted on Etsy for $169.

And that’s without the chips!

Cincinnatians have

Old coolers, Husman's potato chip cans and a lunch pail were just a few of the props Antiques Warehouse of Camp Washington provided for the set of "Moonrise Kingdom.” TONY JONES/THE ENQURIER

been munching on Husman’s chips for more than 100 years. Back in 1919, 24-year-old Harry Husman started making his tasty crisps in his home at 414 Laurel St. (what is now Ezzard Charles Drive), hoisting up sacks of potatoes with a rope and pulley to his secondfl oor “Sunlit Kitchen.”

The brand’s signature jingle is well remembered in the Tristate: “When the

chips are down, be sure they’re Husman’s, Husman’s potato chips!”

Husman’s Snack Foods Co., which added pretzels, cheese puff s and popcorn to its off erings, was acquired by Pennsylvania-based Utz Quality Foods in 2019. Utz has decided to discontinue the brand.

Soon, the place to fi nd Husman’s will be among the collectibles.

CINCINNATI — In the last few years, the West End area has frequently been in the news for its buildings and construction. But what about the history and the people that are the foundations of this neighborhood?

A twist on oral history projects, Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library’s West End Stories Project podcast captures the stories of individuals who lived in the West End during the second half of the 20th century for urbanites today who want to know more about the neighborhood’s transformation.

“With so many changes happening again in Cincinnati’s West End, we have to preserve the residents’ stories,” said Keloni Parks, library podcast host and manager of the West End Branch. “There are so many African Americans in Cincinnati who are tied to the West End in some way, including my family, and it’s imperative that these stories are collected before they’re lost.”

Hear about one of Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library’s fi rst Black librarians, and a judge who grew up in the West End. Get fi rsthand accounts of the Lincoln Courts Housing Project, the Regal Theater, and the construction of I-75. The fi rst three episodes of the West End Stories Project are available Jan. 28. Listen at cincinnatilibrary.org/podcasts/.

If you or someone you know lived or spent a signifi cant amount of time in the West End, please consider sharing your story. Call 513-369-6900 or email westend@cincinnatilibrary.org, for more information.

Valentine’s Day shopping easy and local Selecting the perfect Valentine’s Day gift is always challenging for men, and even more so when shopping is done online.

Two artsy sisters, Mary Roll Jamison and Kathy Roll Unkrich, have combined their creative talents to off er a solution. Robinette Designs (www.robinettedesigns.com) off ers their handcrafted ladies’ accessories – scarves, necklaces, earrings and bracelets – in unique styles from the delicate to the bold.

Born and raised on the west side of Cincinnati, Mary and Kathy have maintained their close bond despite job demands that required Mary and her husband to relocate around the country numerous times.

Kathy, who still resides on the west side, and Mary, who now lives in Las Vegas, formed Robinette Designs in 2012. “When we were choosing a name for our company, we knew we wanted something special. ‘Robinette’ is our grandmother’s maiden name, so it was something we shared,” Mary said.

The sisters began selling their handcrafted pieces at arts and crafts shows, with minimal focus on their website.

The pandemic changed that when most shows were canceled.

“We’ve poured an abundance of creative energy into photographing and posting our pieces,” said Mary, who handles most of the IT aspects of their business.

“We make it easy for shoppers to select our handcrafted pieces, even off ering numerous suggestions to form matching sets.”

The easily navigable website allows specifi c searches, from gemstones and holiday themes to colors, occupations, hobbies, animals, and sports.

“We off er over 130 styles of scarves, over 100 styles of necklaces, and over 700 styles of earrings. At our arts and crafts shows, we’re known as ‘The Earring Queens’,” Mary laughed.

“We do custom work as well. We sew men’s silk ties into beautiful, one-of-a-kind infi nity scarves for women,” Mary said.

“We off er gift certifi cates for those who prefer to leave the choosing to their signifi cant other, as well as a popular Add to Wishlist feature for ladies who want to nudge their husband or boyfriend in the right direction,” Kathy noted.

Free gift wrapping and handwritten cards are available with every order. Shipping is free on orders above $49.

SCHOOL NEWS Taylor Elementary receives 2020 Ohio PBIS Bronze Recognition Award Northwest Local School District is proud to announce that Taylor Elementary is the recipient of the Ohio Department of Education’s (ODE) 2020 Ohio PBIS Bronze Recognition Award.

Schools across the state were recognized for the support and intervention practices they put in place for students using the Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) framework for the 19-20 school year.

While this is Taylor Elementary’s fi rst time being awarded for their PBIS model, the work being carried out within the school has been taking place for quite some time. For Lori Riehle, Principal of Taylor, making sure that students feel and understand that they are socially and emotionally supported is key.

“From the moment our students walk into the door our staff is checking in with our students to help them acknowledge, address and overcome the

Ohio River and its watershed. Coff ee has a natural connection to that mission.

“Without great water, you can’t have great coff ee,” Cogen said.

The Cincinnati Coff ee Festival is the Midwest’s largest coff ee festival, attracting thousands of attendees and vendors from around the region. Activities such as the Latte Art in Action, coffee- and tea-themed demonstrations and music make it a can’t-miss event for local coff ee lovers. For information, visit CincinnatiCoff eeFestival.com.

Ohio River Foundation (ORF) is dedicated to protecting and improving the water quality and ecology of the Ohio River and all waters in its 11-state watershed.

Established in 2000, the organization has reached 50,000 students with its freshwater education programs; restored and reconnected more than 200 miles of rivers; removed four dams; planted 6,000 trees; and removed more than 300,000 invasive plants.

social and emotional challenges that they face daily,” said Riehle. “We fi nd that students come to school with so many things on their minds that often impacts their ability to learn. Our staff understands the importance of helping our students get into a good space emotionally before learning can really happen.”

On a typical morning, students start the day in their classrooms by acknowledging how they feel using weather to identify their mood. Students can choose from sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy or stormy. This method of identifi cation allows teachers to better understand how the student identifi es emotionally, the best way to interact with the student throughout the day and it allows students an opportunity to share what they are experiencing and feeling.

“This type of communication is imperative for both teachers and students,” said Riehle. “Our teaching staff is also encouraged to share how they are feeling using the weather strips as well.

It is essential that our students under-

stand how to engage with their teachers that day. We have found that this type of dialogue helps to foster a culture of empathy.”

For Taylor Elementary, creating a system of positive and proactive support starts with pulling together a team of staff members across all grade levels.

The team meets regularly to review behavioral data, problem solve, and monitor the positive practices and reward systems in place to create a climate of support and prevent behaviors which interfere with students’ learning opportunities.

At Taylor, this team is headed up by Mimi Pierce, School Psychologist and PBIS Building Coordinator.

“Over the past couple years we have developed several supports to help students learn the importance of self-regulation and to encourage and reward students who implement what they learn.” said Pierce.

These systems include monthly bulletin board posts to acknowledge exceptional student work, student shout outs

on the daily announcements, and the chance for a student from each classroom to earn something from the Wheel of Prizes for following expectations.

These systems are not just limited to inperson learners, but include those who are working remotely from home. This year, the Taylor staff recognized the students who consistently engage in online learning by creating yard signs that read “This Taylor Tiger is virtually unstoppable!”

Teachers then went to each student’s home to present them with the yard sign and to congratulate them on their hard work.

“Our students were so surprised and excited to see their teachers in person acknowledging their hard work. These types of out-of-the box ideas have really proven to be a motivator for students to keep striving for greatness. It is very important to us that our students participating remotely know they are still a part of the Taylor Family,” said Pierce.

Greater Cincinnati Foundation seeks applications for Summertime Kids and Learning Links grants It’s that time of the year again for schools and nonprofi t organizations to submit their applications for Summertime Kids and Learning Links grants.

Each grant supports creative education programs for youth during the summer months and school year, respectively. Although organizations can request lower amounts, the maximum grant award for Summertime Kids is $1,000 and $1,250 for Learning Links.

Both Grants for Kids programs are made possible through the generosity of Greater Cincinnati Foundation (GCF) donors and continuing support from the Charles H. Dater Foundation.

Summertime Kids grants are available to nonprofi ts, schools, or churches working with young people in GCF’s eight-county community — Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren in Ohio;
