Clermont Cty approves $20K in suicide prevention programs Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Chief Deimling of the Union Township Fire Department said that he believes it will take $80,000 to salvage the house.

‘It’s just a house – and everything we owned’ GoFundMe set up for family of four Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A family of four and their dog are safe after escaping a Union Township house fi re early Friday, Aug. 30, authorities said.

The fi re was reported at around 2:30 a.m., said chief Stanley Deimling of the Union Township Fire Department. Eight fi re units responded to the call and the fi re was extinguished in about 30 minutes. Units stayed on the scene for four hours.

The cause and origin of the fi re had not yet been reported when this article was originally published.

Red Cross was at the scene to help the two adults and two children, ages 9 and 7, according to the Union Township Fire Department. Deimling said that he believes the house is salvageable, although it will need to undergo “expensive repairs.” He estimates $80,000 worth of repairs are necessary to salvage the single-family, two-story home.

“We’re just kind of walking around like zombies” About 14 hours after the fi re was reported, William Robinson found himself in a shoe store wearing gray sweatpants and a gray t-shirt.

“I’m just walking through a shoe store, because our shoes and socks are soaking wet,” he said. “We’re just kind of walking around like zombies.”

The family is staying in a hotel for now, Robinson said. He was told it will take six months to repair the damaged house.

Robinson said that he believes the fi re started underneath the 9-year-old’s bedroom.

He said she noticed the fl ames fi rst.

“She ran through the house screaming, waking everybody up,” he said.

Robinsin said that he woke up and “fl ames were shooting all over the place.” He thinks the house will have to be taken down to studs and completely rebuilt.

“It’s just a house – and everything we owned,” he said, and then laughed.

Almost $8,000 in six hours, and still going A GoFundMe was started by Craig Bowman to help the family with the repairs.

On the fundraiser page, Bowman says that the Robinson family lost all of their possessions in the fi re and that little of their home remains.

“In every tough situation that I’ve watched William face, he has been a true fi ghter and has always put others before himself,” Bowman says on the fundraiser page. “Today we ask that you help fi ght alongside him and his family to get back on their feet.”

The site reported that the fundraiser raised almost $8,000 of its $15,000 goal in the fi rst six hours.

Columbia Twp. dispensary set to open Sept. 11 Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Verilife medical-marijuana dispensary in Columbia Township is set to open Sept. 11 after receiving its certifi cate of operation from the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy, according to store offi cials.

The pharmacy board on Wednesday announced it had awarded certifi cates of operation to Verilife, at 5431 Ridge Ave., and two other dispensaries: Bloom Medicinals in Maumee, and Ohio Provisions in Carroll.

So far, 29 of the 56 dispensaries awarded provisional licenses last year have passed fi nal inspection by the pharmacy board and received certifi cates to operate.

Verilife is w the nearest dispensary to Cincinnati with the necessary approval from the state to build up its product inventory and begin selling marijuana bud and marijuana-infused edibles and other products to registered patients.

Verilife is owned by Oak Park, Ill.-based PharmaCann, which also holds one of Ohio's large-scale, medical-marijuana cultivator licenses.

The dispensary should benefi t from pent-up demand from local patients and caregivers who have

PharmaCann Spokesman Jeremy Unruh, left, and Verilife General Manager Chaz Mize. RANDY TUCKER/ ENQUIRER MEDIA

been forced to drive long distances to get their medicine, according to General Manager Chaz Mize.

"There are thousands and thousands of cardholders who have not made a purchase yet with their Ohio (medical) marijuana card, and there are a sizable number of folks in that number that are in the Cincinnati market,'' Mize previously told The Enquirer.

Registered medical-marijuana patients and caregivers can legally buy marijuana in Ohio to treat 21 qualifying medical conditions, including cancer, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and glaucoma.

Through July, there were more than 57,000 registered medical marijuana patients and caregivers, and more than 30,000 had purchased medical marijuana at a dispensary, according to numbers provided by state regulators.

Before Verilife received its certifi cate to operate, the nearest active dispensary to Cincinnati was about 30 miles north of the city in Lebanon, where the About Wellness Ohio dispensary opened in May. Several other dispensaries in and around Cincinnati recently told The Enquirer they believe they are close to getting their certifi cates to operate, including Have a Heart Cincy in Hartwell - the only dispensary inside the city limits - and Verdant Creations, also in Columbia Township.

Three NKY, Greater Cincy Kmart, Sears stores to close Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Three local Kmart and Sears are closing this year.

Weeks after announcing 26 Sears and Kmart locations would close in October, nearly 100 additional stores are facing a similar fate in December or sooner, COMMUNITY PRESS & RECORDER NEWSPAPERS ❚ 312 Elm Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202 ❚ 2116 Chamber Center Drive, Fort Mitchell, KY 41017

USA TODAY reported.

While company offi cials did not release an offi cial list of the locations closing, news outlets across the nation reported this week about some of the closings and lists were posted on sites including www.thelayoff .com.

Among those listed are the Erlanger/Edgewood Kmart located at 3071 Dixie Highway; the Sears located at 4595 Eastgate Boulevard; and the Harrison Kmart located at 10560 Harrison Avenue.

Liquidation sales are expected to begin in mid-September, USA Today reported. Dates of closures can vary. Most are expected to close in December.

Goshen Middle and High Schools will receive $9,500 to support Hope Squad.

Miami Valley Christian Academy is also receiving $2,000 for Hope Squad partial funding, as almost 50 percent of their students are Clermont County residents, according to the release.

Where is the money coming from?

Family and Children First is exclusively using funding from local contributions for the suicide prevention programs - although, they do receive some state and federal funding for other programs, the release states.

The organization was established in the mid-nineties and initially funded schools to implement the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program. They are comprised of government agencies, community stakeholders and parents.

Funding and resources from the Clermont County Mental Health & Recovery Board, ENGAGE 2.0 and the Milford-Miami Township Drug Free Coalition will also be used throughout the school year for suicide prevention activities, the release states. The organizations have worked together to ensure resources don't overlap.

Police detail ‘very disturbing’ scene after two men accused of child rape Sarah Brookbank and Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Police in Greater Cincinnati believe there are more victims and possibly more suspects involved after an investigation into two men who have been accused of raping and taking pornographic pictures of children.

On Aug. 28, William Bustillos III, 25, of Lockland confessed to police that he raped a 5-year-old boy and photographed the child for “sexual gratifi cation,” authorities said. During his confession, Bustillos indicated to police that he was sharing the pornography with others in the Cincinnati area, police said.

Bustillos’ arrest stems from an investigation into Joseph Suder, 36, of Milford, by the Milford Police Department. Police did not give additional details on the relationship between the two men.

Milford Police said Suder, who was arrested Aug. 16, raped a 7-year-old child and took sexually explicit photographs of the victim and two other children, ages 5 and 8, at the Oakwood Apartments on Brooklyn Avenue.

Evidence is “upsetting and unsettling” “I’ve been doing this for 31 years and have I ever

come into contact with a case like this? No.” Lockland Police Chief James Toles said Thursday, Aug. 29 at a press conference. “It’s a tough situation.”

Lockland Sgt. Scott Godbey said they seized multiple electronics, including laptops, phones, gaming consoles and fl ash drives from Bustillos’ apartment.

Godbey said the evidence that was provided to them from Milford was “very graphic, very demeaning and very upsetting and unsettling.”

“It was rough sleeping last night,” Godbey said In 27 years, Godbey said he’s never seen anything like what he saw in Bustillos’ apartment.

“There are a lot of indications it was used for producing pornographic fi lms involving children,” Lockland Sgt. Chris Lind “It was very disturbing to be in there.”

Lind confi rmed offi cers found pentagrams and satanic elements in the room where the pornography was fi lmed.

Police documents indicate Bustillos was found to have child pornography and images featuring bestiality with child victims. Some of the child porn contains bestiality on a child as young as 1 year old, Lind said in court on Thursday, Aug. 29.

“I believe he is a danger to society and our children,” Lind told the court.

More victims, more suspects possible “It seems like there might be a ring going on from talking to our suspect,” Lind said. “We’re hoping to uncover who these people are and put them away for a long time.”

Godbey said the Milford investigation revealed more victims who have not been identifi ed and could be images sent to Bustillos from other possible sus-

pects.

He said there are at least hundreds, and “probably” thousands of pictures.

Devices seized by Lockland Police will be turned over to the FBI to search for more victims and suspects. It’s likely more charges will be pressed against Bustillos, according to Godbey.

Some of those photos were taken locally of victims who have not yet been identifi ed.

“My prayers go out to the family and the kids for this,” Chief Toles said.

Bustillos, Suder both in jail “We were able to take two abusive men off the streets that are violating the rights of these young children that haven’t even begun life to even know what’s actually been happening,” Chief Toles said.

On Thursday, Aug. 29, Bustillos’ lawyer said his client has lived locally for six years after moving to the area from California. His lawyer asked for a reasonable bond, but prosecutors argued for a high bond.

“This involves this defendant performing sex acts on a 5-year-old in all the ways the revised code prohibits,” a prosecutor said.

Bustillos is being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center on a $3 million bond and has been charged with rape and gross sexual imposition. Authorities said more charges will be added.

Suder was indicted on one county of rape and one count of gross sexual imposition on Aug. 22. He is being held at the Clermont County Jail.

The investigation is ongoing and offi cials are asking anyone with information to contact the Milford Police Department at 513-248-5084 or the Lockland Police Department at 513- 761-1699.

Changes coming to Milford City Council Sept. 13 deadline for council appointment

Jeanne Houck

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A vandalism at Anderson High School is under investigation.

PROVIDED/HAMILTON COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE

Police: Anderson High School vandalism under investigation Madeline Mitchell and Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Vandalism at Anderson High School is under investigation, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff 's offi ce.

According to the release, an unknown male suspect used spray paint to write things like "racists" and "Redskins? More like White Skins..." at various locations throughout the school grounds.

Debate over Anderson High School's mascot has waged on for years, coming to a head in 2018 after a Branding and Mascot Committee decided to keep the Redskins name, which was deemed racist by members in the community.

The branding committee had estimated it could cost as much as $454,235 to change the name.

It was not Anderson’s fi rst fi ght over

the mascot. There were particularly fi erce bouts in 1999 and 2003.

Both times, the school kept its name.

This latest debate was launched after the Cleveland Indians announced they would retire their Chief Wahoo mascot.

The sheriff 's described the graffi ti as having "profane language and racial overtones."

The graffi ti was discovered Tuesday, Sept. 3 during a routine patrol of the school around 4:20 p.m.

Deputies said there are no known suspects but the school resource offi cer will be checking cameras.

The sheriff 's department said it would not release videos due to the ongoing investigation.

The Hamilton County Sheriff 's Department is conducting an investigation. Anyone with information on the incident is encouraged to call 513-8251500.

It appears the seven-member Milford City Council will have two new faces in January.

Milford Mayor Fred Albrecht has resigned because he is moving out of the city, and his former seat is one of four city council positions up for election in November.

Incumbents Edward J. “Ted” Haskins and Sandra Russell fi led paperwork with the Clermont County Board of Elections by the Aug. 7 deadline for a place on the ballot.

So did Milford residents Kyle Mitchell and Benjamin Redman.

Incumbent Ed Brady did not.

Brady said he is humbled to have helped improve Milford’s quality of life and expand its employment base with the hiring of City Manager Michael Doss in 2016, business investments downtown and at the Rivers Edge shopping center, the purchase of the Little Miami Trail trailhead and expansion of sidewalks along Ohio 28 and the Milford Parkway.

“I decided to end my service after two terms as I’m a strong believer in what the founders of our country called a ‘citizen legislature,’ the idea that public service should not be a professional career, but rather ordinary citizens who serve a short term and then step aside so others may participate and contribute,” Brady said.

“It is exciting to see the ideas and perspectives people new to the role of council person bring to the city.”

Albrecht and Haskins did not respond to requests for comment.

End of Season Close Out

Meanwhile, Milford is looking for someone to serve the remaining four months in Albrecht’s term on city council.

Two years ago, Milford City Council appointed Albrecht to fi ll the unexpired term of former councilman Justin Bonnell, who resigned in 2017 when he moved out of Milford.

City council later voted Albrecht mayor.

Anyone interested in Albrecht serving the remainder of Albrecht’s term, which ends this year, should apply with the city by Friday, Sept. 13.

Letters of interest and resumes may be sent to Jackie Bain, Clerk of Council, 745 Center St., Suite 200, Milford, Ohio, 45150.

Candidates must be residents of Milford, have lived in the city for at least 90 days and be qualifi ed to vote.

Now, Milford city council members Amy Vilardo and Lisa Evans are serving as mayor and vice mayor, respectively, until the end of the year.

City council will vote in January on a new mayor and vice mayor when the newly formed council takes offi ce after the Nov. 5 elections.

Winners in the November elections will join incumbents Vilardo, Evans and Councilwoman Kim Chamberland on Milford City Council.

The incumbents' terms end at the close of 2021.

Make gazpacho to use late-summer veggies Late summer gazpacho aka best gazpacho Originally from Julia Moskin, New York Times. Here’s my adaptation. As always, go to taste.

Ingredients A good 2 pounds red or combo of ripe tomatoes, cored and chunked up — I used red, yellow, and grape 1 Cubanelle or sweet banana pepper or about half of a sweet bell, seeded and chunked. I used a sweet Hungarian banana pepper 1 cucumber, about 8” long, peeled and chunked ⁄ 3 to 1⁄ 2 cup red or mild onion, chunked (careful, here, you can always add more but you can’t take away…).

1

1 nice teaspoon garlic/1 large clove 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar Salt — I used 11⁄ 2 teaspoons ⁄ 2 cup extra-virgin olive oil or to taste, plus extra to drizzle

1

Instructions

Gazpacho is a good use for late summer vegetables. RITA HEIKENFELD

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Rita’s garlic crostini Serve alongside the gazpacho.

Rub a clove of garlic on thick baguette slices. Drizzle with olive oil.

Today, I decided to try a recipe for “really the best gazpacho ever” shared a while ago by a reader.

My reason for trying it today was that I harvested a basket of ripe tomatoes with spots or cracks and had to do something with them, and quick.

So I cut bad parts off and plugged in my blender. I blended the tomatoes with red onion, cucumber, a Hungarian pepper from my garden, a bit of sherry vinegar, garlic, salt and a decent amount of olive oil. The recipe called for straining afterwards, but you know what? I had a big bowl of it straight from the blender, sans straining. Addictively good.

Put everything but vinegar, salt and oil in blender and blend on high until very smooth. With motor running, add vinegar and salt.

Slowly pour in oil and blend until everything is emulsifi ed and again, smooth. It will be the thickness of salad dressing. If a bit watery, add a little more oil until it’s creamy the way you like it.

Now you can either strain it all through strainer or food mill, making sure you press hard on solids, or leave as is, or just strain some of it.

Sprinkle with shredded Manchego, Parmesan, or leave plain.

For a silky smooth soup, you should strain it all.

Run under broiler.

To serve:

You could do either, leave as is or strain for an elegant presentation.

Now truth be told, I have a packed fi le of gazpacho recipes. This one, though, is my newest fave. A smooth Spanish style gazpacho, easy and so fast.

The bonus? It uses those late summer, less than perfect, dead ripe veggies.

Make this gazpacho! Let me know how you like it, OK?

Chill about 6 hours or overnight.

Adjust seasonings. If too thick, add a bit of ice water.

Serve with drizzle of oil.

Serve as appetizer or fi rst course in shot or small glasses or as an entre in a bowl.

Try my garlic crostini alongside.

Substitute for sherry vinegar Try red wine vinegar with maybe a tad of sugar, since sherry vinegar has a sweeter flavor profi le.

Viewpoints No more lying about weight on your license Byron McCauley Columnist Cincinnati Enquirer

Clearly, the BMV must think we are all damnable liars.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have done away with the line on our new driver’s license that allowed us to designate how much we weigh. Have you all noticed?

Looks like I’m late to the party, since the outfi t that governs the nation’s motor vehicle administrators – yes, there is such an organization – in 2016 “strongly encouraged states” to adopt new design conventions on driver’s licenses.

Ohio complied in 2018, while also anticipating a new federal law in 2020 that will require state driver’s licenses to meet certain standards when a person fl ies on a commercial aircraft or visits secure government places. Kentucky began its roll-out of new licenses in June; you don’t have to list your weight on Kentucky licenses either.

I relinquished my old Ohio license in July. I miss it already. It had two color pictures – one of big-headed me, another with shrunken-headed me. The pictures on the new one are in black and white and appear to have holographic elements. “Ohio USA” is written in blue and in cursive on the upper left corner.

Kinda like Kentucky’s.

If you have a star in the right corner, you’re good to fl y and visit secure federal facilities. If not, you’ll need to get a voluntary travel ID or a passport by October 1, 2020.

This was my fourth license renewal.

Driver’s licenses are like mirrors. There you are, staring right back at yourself, marking time.

There is less of my hair, and what’s left is becoming silver. What happened to my eyebrows? My face seems larger.

My earlobes are wings. Those smile lines are deeper.

Which brings me to the element that has disappeared: “Weight.” I continued to perpetuate a lie at the last renewal, four years ago. The weight I listed was from 2008.

The nice lady sitting behind the BMV counter in Milford didn’t ask me to adjust this grossly understated estimate in 2015. She was a wise woman. I wasn’t the fi rst member of the lying pack of liars with our ostrich necks of denial sauntering up to her, clearly taller and thinner and more beautiful than the last.

Being from the South, the obesity capital of America, I imagined the nice DMV lady looking at me, looking down at my license and back at me holding back a full grin. “Bless his heart,” she would mumble.

This is how some Southerners acknowledge the behavior of the pitiful

without completely destroying their feelings.

I did what your average red-blooded American would do: I kept on lying to myself.

Yup, I added the weight equivalent of a good-sized infant over the years, but that was just baby fat.

I was married to that number on the old driver’s license. It was aspirational to me. I came really close within the past 10 years. I was going to get back there in the very near future.

If you look up “driver’s license” and “weight” online, the results will come in waves. Reddit threads abound. There are jokes about “fi nally getting down to the weight on my driver’s license.” Colloquially, it is said that Americans underreport how much we weigh, but we overreport how tall we are.

Meanwhile, the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, or AAMVA, fi nally called the question. Offi cially, it said the changes on license design are meant to “update and create realistic and durable standards employed by AAMVA jurisdictions, to enhance the interoperability of DMV and traffi c data records, and to provide a voice for the AAMVA community in standards eff orts with other organizations.”

But I know the real reason. They are accommodating the liars. Accurate data is important. Law enforcement offi cials

I’d like to think the AAMVA is simply saying we’re all better served by sticking with sex, height, and eye color as elements on driver’s license. They know their audience.

Sports SCD football does quick work in win over host CCD Donnie Menke Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati Country Day fi elded a football team of just 14 players last season, but that didn’t stop them from going 6-0 and scoring at least 20 points in each contest.

Friday night, they opened the season at home with a full squad against conference foe Summit Country Day. Unfortunately, things didn’t go their way, and SCD emerged with the 28-0 road victory.

SCD got off to a fast start, scoring on just their second play from scrimmage. Senior running back Ellis Ramsey had an 80-yard run to open the scoring, and SCD went up 7-0 less than four minutes into the game.

After SCD forced CCD to punt for the second time in as many drives, they scored on their fi rst play of the drive.

Senior quarterback Jimmy Stines threw a 17-yard touchdown to junior wide receiver Gates Flynn and SCD quickly jumped out to a 14-0 lead.

The defenses traded stops after that, with neither team able to score again before the second half. In total, after SCD’s second touchdown, there were two punts, two interceptions, and two turn over on downs.

CCD picked off a pass as SCD driving deep into opponent territory with under a minute left in the fi rst half.

CCD then knelt out the clock to take the game to half time.

SCD got the ball to start the second half and methodically drove down the fi eld. They took more than seven minutes off the clock on the drive, and ultimately scored a touchdown on a one-yard rush by Stines to go ahead 21-0.

The teams traded punts before CCD threw an interception, setting SCD up with excellent fi eld position.

end zone. Junior Brennan Riley would punch the ball in from six yards out with just under eight minutes left in the game, putting SCD up 28-0.

After the teams traded punts again, CCD started their fi nal drive in opposing territory on the 48-yard line. With only 1:17 left in the game, CCD managed get all the way down inside the 10-yard line, but an interception with 3.8 seconds left sealed the shut out for SCD. Senior running back Matthew Adkins led CCD with more than 120 yards of total off ense, including 28 receiving yards.

Stines fi nished with more than 150 yards passing and multiple touchdowns for SCD. Ramsey fi nished with more than 130 yards and had one touchdown, while Riley fi nished with more than 70 yards in addition to his touchdown.

Though senior BT Toble was unable to get in the endzone for SCD, he was a still a big contributor, netting more than 70 total yards.

Hummingbirds are heading south Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist

Howdy folks, Last Thursday, my daughter and sonin-law took me to Columbus for an awards ceremony for me. Then on Saturday evening, a couple of folks took me down to Florence, Kentucky to a wedding for a beautiful young lady. The wedding ceremony was beautiful with a large crowd.

Today, I will be talking to the seniors at the lodge at the senior service place above Batavia. I do this one time a month for an hour and a half. This does as much for me as it does for them. I tell stories about our younger days.

The surprise last week was a little kitten. I saw it but I could not catch it until I put some cat food out for it. I think it is a little girl. It stays by me or on my lap when I am in the house. As I write this it is laying on a box behind me. If I am right about it being a female, I will name it Chessey after a cat we had. The story about that cat was we thought it was a male so we named it Chester but when we took Chester to the vet to have it fi xed we were told by the vet it was a female so Ruth Ann said to call it Chessey.

I talked to Cedar Lake and they had a super weekend. Now they are back to their regular hours schedule. Some large cat fi sh were caught. The fi shing here at East Fork is good with lots of crappie, catfi sh, a few sauger, stripers and other fi sh being caught. Mike said hunting

season for squirrels and dove is now.

Deer hunting season starts Sept. 28.

The hunting license will go up another $6 or more so get your license quick. I talked to Sherry‘s Lake and Gary said they caught several 30 to 40 pound blue cats and shovel head catfi sh over the weekend. They go back to their regular season hours also, so go and see these folks and catch some fi sh for a fi sh fry.

The hummingbirds have started to head south. I did have eight birds and now I have two or three. I have used fi ve bags of sugar to feed them. That expense is fi ne with me. They are one of my favorite birds along with the goldfi nch. The goldfi nch are so amazing, how they change colors in the winter.

Nature is something else.

The Old Bethel homecoming is Oct. 6 starting at 2 p.m. so mark your calendar.

The Kinner Express will be playing and brother John Hale will be singing. Everybody sure loves to hear John sing and visit with him.

The green houses have mums. They are blooming and are so pretty. There are quite a number of diff erent colors.

Last week there were four of us that went down to Lower Price Hill to the Kroger place to serve food. They were about 30 people there and last Saturday at the Living the Word Church in Bethel, we served lunch to about 50 people.

Now Mr. Chester is not real happy with the kitten but he will start accepting her. He is fi ne.

Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and praising the good Lord.

God bless all...

reinstated one former member. He worked with the Rotary Board to revamp some extended membership costs that are now available to club members. He increased club visibility in the community by purchasing marketing materials and equipment.

During his tenure, Knickerbocker also instituted Honor Cords that are now given to high school students who receive Student of the Month recognition from Batavia and Clermont Northeastern high schools. These cords were distributed this Spring for the students to wear with their caps and gowns on Graduation Day. In addition, Knickerbocker created the Rotary Inspiration Award. This award was named in honor of the 201819 international theme “Be the Inspiration” and was given to those who made a diff erence in the community in partnership with Batavia Rotary.

Knickerbocker is a Major with the Salvation Army. Not only was he leaving his term in offi ce, he was leaving Batavia for a post in Chillicothe in mid-July.

FREE EVENT. TWO SPEAKERS. ONE GOAL. YOUR SUCCESS.

“Thank you to each club member for your encouragement, kind words, and support,” said Knickerbocker. “You have been my inspiration to do well as President this year, and I will miss being part of your community.”

Cliff Bailey is the Batavia Rotary President for 2019-20. Bailey is a Senior District Executive with the Dan Beard Council, Boy Scouts of America. He has been a member of the Batavia Rotary for fi ve years.

Goals for Bailey’s term in offi ce include increasing club membership by three new members, supporting community and school arts programs, and fostering stronger relationships with neighboring community clubs by partnering on service projects throughout the year.

“We will continue fundraisers and events that we have organized in the past,” said Bailey. “This includes our annual golf outing, spaghetti dinner, Easter egg hunt, and dictionary distribution to local schools.”

Through her Real Art for Young Artists initiative, Wells is allowing the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County to exhibit the original watercolor art from her classic book Noisy Nora with a long-term loan.

The exhibit Real Art for Young Artists: The Art of Rosemary Wells is on display in the Children’s Library at the Downtown Main Library beginning Sept. 15. To celebrate the opening of the exhibition, Wells is visiting the Library on that day for a presentation with local illustrator Will Hillenbrand and a book signing.

Wells is the author-illustrator of more than 120 books for children, including the beloved Max and Ruby and Noisy Nora books. She travels all over the country as a tireless advocate for literacy. She is the mother of two grown daughters, Victoria and Marguerite, and grandmother to four girls.

Hillenbrand is celebrated children’s author and illustrator whose published works include over 65 books. In his work, he uses a combination of traditional drawing methods and direct impression media to create his magical illustrations. He has lived almost all of his life in Cincinnati where he grew up as the youngest of four boys. He is the fi rst Illustrator and Author in Residence at Kent State University in Kent. He is a member of the National Advisory Board at the University of Findlay’s Mazza Museum and a member of the Greenacres Artists Guild in Indian Hill.

“Without the Rotary support we would not be able to provide the services we provide, especially the respite program at Camp Allyn that is providing two-day to six-day respites for 50 people a week this year,” said Chris Adams of Terrace Park, executive director of Stepping Stones.

The respite program helps individuals with signifi cant disabilities build independence, social and daily living skills through overnight programs at the Rotaryowned Camp Allyn in Batavia.

“The respites benefi t more than the participants,” said Adams. “The break they provide for families is vital in keeping the family unit strong.”

Believe 2 Achieve co-chairs Susan Wilkinson and John Fahrmeier, both of Anderson Township, presented the checks to the directors of the three charities at the Rotary Club’s August 29 meeting.

Key speaker was Archie Brown of Indian Hill, CEO of First Financial Bank and the 2019 chairman of the United Way Campaign. Brown talked about First Financial’s focus on coupling new technology with personal service and active involvement in the community.

“We are a local bank and we want to be part of the life of our community,” Brown said.

His leadership of the United Way campaign is part of that involvement.

We have people in this community who have real needs and real problems. United Way can help us all work together to deal with those problems,” said Brown.

He said the Rotary’s “Service Above Self ” model refl ects the generosity and commitment that can make a lasting diff erence in the Greater Cincinnati community.

Believe 2 Achieve is an annual Rotary-sponsored summer event that includes a dinner and auction. In its eight years, the event has raised more than $1 million for non-profi t agencies serving children with disabilities, said Susan Wilkinson.

The Rotary Club of Cincinnati unites business and community leaders to provide selfl ess service to the community. The Rotary Foundation of Cincinnati is the club’s philanthropic arm. The Club and Foundation’s key community focus is improving the lives of children with disabilities.

Business laptop donations needed for local nonprofi t Students have been coming in fl oods to the Cincinnati Computer Cooperative for Back-to-School computers and their inventory is extremely low. Business donations of laptops are needed now so Cincinnati schoolkids can keep getting the computers they need.

This Woodlawn nonprofi t does a great job getting computers to students and the disadvantaged throughout the Cincinnati area. The Cooperative accepts gently used computers, refurbishes them, installs MS Offi ce software and sells the machines at low cost to those in need.

Clermont 4-H hosts ‘day in the ring’ For the second year in a row, adults with disabilities participated in “A Day in the Ring.” This event was held during the 170th Clermont County Fair.

“A Day in the Ring” is a program off ered by the OSU Extension Offi ce that gives 4-H members the opportunity to mentor people who have special needs. The 4-H mentors teach individuals with developmental disabilities about the animals’ needs before learning to show them in the ring.

“Many of those participating have never experienced the show ring before,” said Gigi Neal, Agriculture and Natural Resources Educator at OSU Extension Clermont County. “It’s great to expand our horizons not only for the 4-H youth, but for the exhibitors as well.”

Nine adults from the Clermont County Board of Developmental Disabilities (Clermont DD) and three from Residential Concepts, Inc. arrived at 10 a.m. and were quickly paired with a their 4-H mentor. In 2018, those participating showed goats. This year, dairy cattle were added to give people the experience of working with large animals.

Each mentor allowed their participant to tour the barns and explained how to care for their respective animal. They spent the next hour studying the animals’ characteristics and learned to walk and guide them using various methods. Next, they practiced in the arena before they were lined up for the actual show. Members of the Junior Fair Board attended the event to make announcements, as well as distribute ribbons and pose for pictures…not unlike what the royalty representatives would do at typical shows throughout the week of the fair.

Carl Church served as judge for both shows. Church is an Adult Consultant with the Clermont County Junior Fair Board. He was impressed with how much each person learned in the short time they worked with the animals. “I could tell everyone was having a good time as they walked around the ring,” said Church. “They have been working hard to learn as much as they could about the animals this morning, because they answered all of my questions during judging.”

Nick Simonson from The Edge 99.5 FM radio was broadcasting during the fair. He interviewed Faith Stegbauer, Clermont County Fair Queen, who allowed

Youth with disabilities benefi t from the gift of music therapy at summer day camp More than 400 children and teens with disabilities benefi ted from the gift of music therapy at Stepping Stones’ summer day camp in Indian Hill.

Sponsored by Terri Hogan and her business Contemporary Cabinetry East, the program addition united Stepping Stones with Melodic Connections. The partnership was a perfect fi t, bringing together two nonprofi ts that are dedicated to serving individuals of all ages and abilities in Greater Cincinnati.

“Music is so important for everyone – especially those with challenges,” said Terri Hogan of Amberley Village.

“I see fi rst-hand how the staff at Melodic Connections engages with those that attend there. They are a blessing for all and we are very fortunate to have both Stepping Stones and Melodic Connections as part of our special community.”

Every Tuesday and Friday, a board certifi ed music therapist visited the summer day camp at Stepping Stones to lead a series of engaging musical activities.

Over the course of the nine-week camp season, groups learned about a variety of instruments, expressed themselves while dancing to their favorite songs and even incorporated musical water activities on hot summer days.

“It’s a multi-sensory experience,” explained music therapist James Stephenson of Melodic Connections in Reading.

“I try to incorporate as much visual, auditory and tactile experiences that I can. There’s a lot of dancing.

There’s a lot of air guitar-ing. And there’s a component of creativity and discovery in that.”

One favorite activity for the campers was producing music videos.

Using the VidRhythm iPad app, participants experimented with diff erent features while fi lming short clips.

Then, they worked as a team to edit and render a fi nished masterpiece.

“Kids like that feedback,” Stephenson exclaimed.

“To see themselves on screen and hear themselves.

And then they have something that they put together as a group – which is very cool. Something really special!”

Stepping Stones is a nonprofi t, United Way partner agency and was founded in 1963 as Southwest Ohio’s fi rst summer camp for children with disabilities.

The organization delivers a program environment fi lled with compassion, respect, enthusiasm, adaptability, teamwork and empowerment.

In addition to summer camps, Stepping Stones offers a variety of year-round programs for youth and adults.

Brittany Smith to show her goat. For Smith and the others who were participating, this experience was something they won’t soon forget.

“I got to name my goat Polly D,” said Smith. “I was a little nervous, but I had fun.”

In addition to being Fair Queen, Stegbauer serves as Secretary for the 2019 Junior Fair Board. Although she was very busy during the fair, she was happy to lend a hand to the Day in the Ring show.

“We started this event last year, and it was a big success,” said Stegbauer. “It’s defi nitely something we will keep doing for a very long time.”

Stegbauer wore her crown during the show. Smith was so excited, that she told everyone she needed a crown, too. Before she left the fairgrounds, Smith was able to win a crown at one of the games. This, coupled with the blue ribbon from showing Polly D, made Smith’s day at the Clermont County Fair complete.

SCHOOL NEWS GSCM principal greets students on fi rst day

CNE schools enjoy smooth, active transition into new year

Students at The Good Shepherd Catholic Montessori are greeted each morning with a handshake from the school’s principal, Anne Marie Vega.

On the fi rst day of school this year, students arrived with their hands full of school supplies and some students came to school for their very fi rst day of pre-school.

One 4 year old, Micah Vonderwish, not only shook Miss Vega’s hand but reached up and said, “Got your nose!”

The Good Shepherd Catholic Montessori educates children from preschool through eighth grade. The school is located in Madison Place just 1/2 mile from Mariemont Square.

Clermont Northeastern Middle School students were fewer than four hours into the new school year when they were called – for a second time – to the school’s gymnasium.

The fi rst gathering was all business.

The second was fun and games - eventually.

Principal Laura Nazzarine and Assistant Principal Chuck Boothby met with each grade in the morning in what Nazzarine termed the “Ways and Means assembly,” during which they discussed behavioral and academic expectations.

“We’re encouraging our kids this year to practice extreme ownership, meaning they take responsibility for not only their behavior but also their academic expectations and set goals for them-

selves,” Nazzarine said.

She and Boothby had arrived at the school at 6:25 a.m. Aug. 19, placing cones in the repaved and restriped parking lot to designate a new traffi c pattern.

Teachers had worked over the weekend to prepare. Students fi led into and out of the cafeteria beginning at 10 a.m. for their fi rst lunch – cheese coneys the featured menu item.

Then, around 11, a quiet storm broke the calm. It was part of the plan.

Motivational speaker Nick Jackson and his team had prepared the gym, cafeteria and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) room for the activities as part of their #iamspeaklove program.

Faculty – all wearing this year’s themed Tshirt with the words “Excellence: If we believe it, we will achieve it,” led the students in and seated them in the bleachers.

Jackson, who knows how to command a room (he spoke at the district’s professional development day Aug. 16), quickly got everyone’s attention before dismissing two grades – silently - to the other venues.

Students who stayed in the gym played a series of games – a balloon challenge where each student had two balloons and had to keep them in the air as long as possible; stacking and passing Solo cups to teammates; using a straw to move Skittles from one end of a table to another; throwing pencils into a container held by a classmate, and picking up ping pong balls with pencils held like chopsticks.

Next door in the cafeteria, students participated in a “Change” activity, where they answered questions such as “What in the world should change (not including the U.S.)” and “What in your school needs to change (not including you)?” District teachers did the same exercise three days earlier.

In the STEM room, students wrote a negative word on a sheet of paper and taped it to their back. Others than

walked around and wrote positive words on the paper.

Students then rotated from room to room. Jackson would repeat the program in successive days at the high school and elementary school.

CNE Middle School has a “Be The Difference” Club, and Nazzarine said Jackson’s presentation aligned with school objectives.

“A couple of years ago we did ‘Re-Do’ Day and we also have our Be The Diff erence Club, which is all about changing the culture of our community. I think Nick plays right into that without adding something new,” she said. “His message of speak love and empower, step up, be the change you want to see in the world, fi ts right into what we’re already doing, so I’m excited for him today, I’m excited that it’s the fi rst day of school.”

A few hundred yards away, at the high school, Principal T.J. Glassmeyer refl ected on an “amazing start” to the school year.

“I’m always surprised how well it goes. Every year we have an amazing start. The start of fourth bell the hall was completely quiet and everybody See SCHOOL NEWS, Page 8B

was in class learning. We’re going to have a great school year,” Glassmeyer said. He and Assistant Principal Scott Houp walked the halls, shaking hands and exchanging high-fi ves with students.

He credited the school’s Link crew, which organized freshman orientation.

“That helps get our freshmen acclimated to the building and used to being in the high school, so we don’t have a lot of issues the fi rst day. Everybody knows where they’re supposed to be. We do lot of prep work with our freshmen so they can hit the ground running,” he said.

The fi rst day also went smoothly at CNE Elementary School, according to Principal Tonya Schmidt.

“As a part of our new initiative ‘best fi rst day of school’ challenge we asked parents and teachers to write welcome notes. Our goal was that each student has a welcome note on their desk for the fi rst day of a school,” she said. “The response from parents was amazing and the kids enjoyed their notes.”

Staff also decorated every school entry and stairwells. Students entered the building to music, bubbles and balloon arches, and parents joined staff at bus and car dropoff , Schmidt said.

“This year we are making a bit push to get students to school and in classrooms no later than 8:45 (a.m.). Each class is challenged daily to have ‘Rockets Ready to Learn.’ If we reach our goal of all students at desk and on task at 8:45 we will add 75 minutes of learning time to each full week of school. Imagine the impact this will have on our students!”

There are 460 students at the high school, 344 at the middle school and 618 at the elementary school.

Finn Vigeland graduated in May from the Harvard Graduate School of Design with a master’s degree in urban planning. He now works as a transportation planner in Washington. Urban planning and crossword constructing evidence a dual interest in grids. Finn sold his first puzzle to The Times in 2010 when he was 18. This will make 18 puzzles by him for the paper altogether, half of them Sundays. — W.S.
