How Everything But The House bounced back from the brink Alexander Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Everything But The House has dealt in secondhand goods for years, allowing alert shoppers to nab rare treasures for as little as $1.

But in 2019, it was the company’s founders who may have scored a steal of a deal.

Jacquie Denny and Brian Graves founded the Blue Ash company in 2007 and a decade of soaring growth later it was worth $215 million – labeled Ohio’s most-valued start-up by venture tracker PitchBook.

But after longtime investors pulled the plug and put the company up for sale in summer, Denny and Graves swooped in with new investors and bought it back for $3.5 million in August.

The deal put the duo back in charge of their own company for the fi rst time in seven years. They believe the company will turn a profi t for the fi rst time in 2020 after resuming control.

While EBTH never fi led bankruptcy, it faced potential liquidation over the summer in a similar court proceeding fi led in Delaware. The founders looked on helplessly as their baby looked to be cut to pieces.

“At one point, we were beginning to wonder what we would do next if there was no EBTH,” said Graves, who is now the CEO. “My wife saw me losing sleep over it and said: ‘This may be God shutting a door.’ “ As the anxiety reached its height, Denny and Graves decided to bid for the company themselves – and discovered they had an unforeseen advantage.

“It was extremely scary... but we’re pretty scrappy personalities. We weren’t going to just walk away,” Denny said.

Denny and Graves sat down with The Enquirer in December to describe how they got their company

A proposed 100% tariff on wine and other products from the European Union has local hospitality businesses worried for the future.

“It’s mind-blowing, really,” said Kevin Hart of Hart and Cru, a Cincinnati-based wine consultant.

“It’s potentially catastrophic across the whole spectrum of restaurants,” said Keegan Corcoran, Beverage Director of Jeff Ruby Restaurants Jean-Robert de Cavel, owner of several French restaurants, doesn’t quite know how he’ll cope.

The tariff s would essentially double the price that American importers pay for wine from European Union countries. The cost would be passed along to consumers.

And it’s not just wine. Olive oil, cheese including Parmesan, pate, cognac and Scotch, along with cosmetics and clothing are listed in the proposed products subject to a tariff . Sales will go down, and the companies and jobs in the massive wine, food and hospitality economic sector will be negatively aff ected.

“I worry about the drivers, the warehouse workers, the salesmen,” said Corcoran.

These new tariff s suggested by the Trump administration are not prompted by anything that has happened in the wine or food world. They are punitive measures linked to other industries.

A 25% tariff imposed in October was in retaliation for Europe’s subsidy of the Airbus airplane. The proposed 100% tariff on Champagne is in retaliation for a French digital services tax on companies like Google. The proposed, more sweeping 100% tariff , is also linked to Airbus.

The tariff s are meant to create pressure by hurting producers of European countries’ traditional products. The tariff makes the products more expensive, the winegrowers and cheesemakers of Europe struggle, so eventually, the theory goes, their government gives in on the other issues.

But American companies who import, warehouse, sell and pour those wines will also be hurt by the expense.

And most of those companies are much, much smaller than Boeing, Google, Facebook or Amazon, on whose behalf the tariff s are being set.

“This is going to aff ect the small and medium-size companies here in the U.S. Big distributors that sell American See TARIFFS, Page 3A

tuous couple of years.

The company was approaching profi tability under the leadership of Scott Griffi th, a Boston tech industry veteran. The steady improvement followed the sudden departure of a previous CEO in early 2018 and months of retrenching that slashed 600 jobs and shuttered 21 locations.

But suddenly during the summer, the company’s East Coast investors grew impatient with the company’s progress to profi tability and refused to give it any more money. Other investors could not be found.

Company founders Denny and Graves came into work on a Monday in late July and were pulled aside by the CEO and told EBTH was being placed into an “assignment for the benefi t of creditors” (ABC for short) – a court proceeding similar to a bankruptcy, where the business’ assets would be put up for sale.

EBTH’s venture capital investors were cashing out completely – taking whatever money they could get and writing off the rest of their investment.

The company’s future was thrown into uncertainty: it might continue as an ongoing business or it might sold off for parts with its web site, mailing list, inventory and its Blue Ash processing center possibly going to all diff erent owners.

Denny and Graves watched as the company they founded in 2007 faced oblivion.

Employees swarmed, asking what was happening and whether their jobs would continue to exist in the coming weeks. The founders could only keep doing their job as if nothing was changing.

“We tried to keep a sense of stability and normalcy, but it’s scary to know in four to six weeks the company, the philosophy and the ownership will change,” Denny said.

Hope begins to fade, then an inspiration The anxiety got even worse.

As the court proceeding marched ahead, two critical dates loomed: one where bids for assets would be submitted and another where they would be considered by the court.

A leading bidder did not appear.

Denny and Graves faced an ominous question: what if nobody made a bid to keep their company operating?

Paula McConnell, a generalist cataloguer, inspects a model car at the Everything But The House warehouse in Blue Ash.

The possibility was ironic considering EBTH had one of its best sales months of the year. Some collectors were cleaning out, trying to prepare for a possible future after EBTH. But other long-time vendors, customers came out of the woodwork trying to support a beloved local business.

“My inbox blew up with hundreds of emails with people asking what they could do to help,” Denny said.

Some local supporters even expressed interest in investing. The two founders wondered if they should make a bid themselves.

“The feeling was we had to do this: we’d never forgive ourselves if we didn’t try,” Graves said.

The last half of August became a mad dash for cash for Denny and Graves. The duo did their regular jobs, but also worked the phones and their business networks to solicit money for a bid to buy their company back.

Graves got two or three hours of sleep a night.

Denny’s family supported her with lots of “quiet time” when she returned home late and exhausted.

The work was more than asking for money – the duo had to create a post-ABC business plan that was revised several times.

But when it came time to fi nally submit bids, Denny and Graves realized they had a critical advantage over rivals: their inside knowledge of the company allowed them to propose a real off er.

Other bidders were asking the court for more time to crunch numbers when the founders off ered cash.

Denny and Graves won the bid, acquiring a business once valued at $215 million for $3.5 million – less than two cents on the dollar.

Looking to the future: there is one Founders Denny and Graves won the bid, but still had hard work to do.

As part of putting together their bid, the duo had to decide which parts of the business wouldn’t be acquired and would likely shut down. The pair ultimately only agreed to take back the Blue Ash and Cleveland operations, but assisted in winding down and closing its four other locations.

Nearly 200 jobs were cut.

At year’s end, however, EBTH had new ownership, resumed growing and was on target to turn a profi t in 2020. Revenues are projected to hit $50 million in 2020.

The company now employs about 215.

The company is scouting sites in Columbus to relocate and expand its operations there. It’s currently hiring for fi ve open positions.

Tariff s Continued from Page 1A

wine to grocery stores will probably be OK,” said Stephen Maher, President of Pleasant Ridge-based Cutting Edge Selections. “And I think we’ll get through it. But small restaurants and retail shops won’t be able to.” Eric Faber, Cutting Edge’s Vice President and General Manager, has gone to Washington to testify about the measure’s impact.

Tariff s are paid by American importers. An importer like Cutting Edge, on receiving a shipment of wine for, say, $100,000, would have to pay - in cash $100,000 dollars to U.S. Customs before taking ownership of that shipment.

Most importers do not have that kind of ready money.

Tariff s can be imposed quite quickly, so an importer could order something now, and have to pay twice as much as expected when it gets here. So the fi rst eff ect of the tariff s will be importers simply not placing orders in Europe.

If they do import European wine, they’ll have to charge twice as much to their retail and restaurant customers.

They’ll have to raise their prices in turn.

Stephanie Webster, who recently opened Oakley Wines, said she’s a neighborhood wine shop, selling bottles of wine for $18 to $26. She cannot imagine her customers will buy at higher prices.

“I buy from small producers who make interesting, cool wines. I’d have to go out of business.”

Hart, who has spent 15 years of his life creating his business Hart and Cru around his knowledge of European wines, doesn’t see a future for it if the tariff s are imposed. He sees jobs lost.

“These tariff s are for billion-dollar companies, but it will be small business and the working class who pay for it,” he said. “And I think Europe is laughing at us. They can take all their wine and send it to Asia.”

“We didn’t feel very much of an im-

pact from the 25 percent tariff passed in October,” said Matt Haws of Ripple Wine Bar in Covington. “A 100 percent tariff on all imported wine though? That will absolutely aff ect us. Ripple wants to off er our guests diff erent styles of wine from all over the world at an aff ordable price.”

The National Restaurant Association opposes the tariff s.

“American restaurants bring cultures, tastes and people from around the globe to communities in every corner of the country. This requires a global supply chain to ensure restaurants can continue to create, innovate and deliver hospitality,” the association said in a statement.

“The proposed tariff s on products from the EU and France will have serious and long-lasting consequences for these restaurants, their customers and their employees, especially considering that the overwhelming majority of U.S. restaurants are small and family owned operating on single digit margins.”

Jean-Robert de Cavel said his wine lists are 80% French.

“This is why people come to see us. I can’t absorb the price increase, and I don’t think I can off er people a wonderful glass of French wine and tell them it’s $22,” he said.

Hearings have been held about the Champagne tariff s. Public comments were being taken on-line until January 13 about the next, bigger round.

We must talk about e-cigarettes with Could local Pier 1 youth.Here’s how. stores be impacted by nationwide closings?

Pier 1 Imports KELLY TYKO/USA TODAY

Youth e-cigarette use is increasing at an alarming rate, with more than 5 million middle and high school students reporting that they currently use e-cigarettes, according to the 2019 National Youth Tobacco Survey.

O’dell M. Owens, MD, MPH

President & CEO

This fall, the Wall Street Journal asked experts to provide tips to help parents talk to youth about e-cigarettes.The article,“Getting Through to Your Teen About the Dangers of Vaping,” includes this advice: 1. Don’t be direct. Rather than bluntly asking a young person if he or she is using e-cigarettes, try bringing up recent news to start a conversation. Be sincere and avoid judgement, even if the young person shares that he or she has tried e-cigarettes.

2. Avoid scare tactics. Learn about the risks of e-cigarettes and calmly share accurate information. Resources can be found at https://www.interactforhealth.org/vaping/.

3. Be persistent. There may be many conversations about e-cigarettes. Keep communication open and ongoing.

4. Stay calm. If you find out a young person is using e-cigarettes, avoid criticism. Ask questions to better understand why he or she is smoking.

5. Know when to get help. If your child, or a child you care about, cannot stop using e-cigar e-cigarettes, talk to his or her health care provider about treatment options.

As adults, we have an obligation to protect young people from harm.Teens who vape can bring about lifelong health problems and put themselves at risk for fatal lung injuries. Do your part to protect the youth you care about—st about—start a conversation about e-cigarettes.

Pier 1 Imports plans to close up to 450 locations, the company recently announced.

With nearly half of its 942 stores closing, there’s a good chance some local stores could be in jeopardy.

The Fort Worth, Texasbased home goods retailer said the decision to reduce its store footprint is needed “to better align its business with the current

operating environment,” USA TODAY reported.

“Although decisions that impact our associates are never easy, reducing the number of our brick-and-mortar locations is a necessary business decision,” Pier 1 CEO and Chief Financial Offi cer Robert Riesbeck said in a news release.

The company will also close certain distribution centers and reduce its corporate expenses because of the “revised store footprint.”

There are four Pier 1

stores in Greater Cincinnati: Florence, Norwood, Sycamore Township and West Chester Township.

The company has not yet announced which stores will be closing.

In a Monday news release, the company said it is “utilizing the services of a third-party liquidator to help manage the store closings.”

What stores will close and a timeline for when the liquidation sales will start was not immediately available.

Man convicted of assaulting protester at Trump rally last year Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Dallas Frazier was looking for someone to hurt the evening of Aug. 1, 2019, prosecutors said.

Several times, the pickup he was in drove by the 100 or so protesters gathered outside U.S. Bank Arena. Lines of people were waiting to get inside for a rally for President Trump.

“No Trump! No KKK!” the protesters shouted.

The Trump supporters shouted back.

It was heated and contentious. But there was no violence. An eyewitness who was there for the rally called it a “circus.”

Then the pickup stopped at a nearby red light. The passenger, Frazier – who was found guilty Thursday of misdemeanor assault – shouted at the protesters.

Frazier, according to the eyewitness, focused on one protester, 61-year-old Michael Alter, a manager for the U.S. Postal Service who is 5-foot-6. Alter, who is diabetic and has vision problems related to the condition, said he has never been in a fi ght in his life.

Frazier, then 29, asked Alter if he “wanted some.”

Alter testifi ed that he never said anything specifi cally to Frazier. Then the pickup door opened and Frazier jumped out.

“All of a sudden, he wants to attack me,” Alter said.

Frazier approached with his fi sts up.

Alter took off his baseball cap, “so I could see better,” he said.

“Come on,” Alter recalled saying. As in: “Come on, really? You’re going to want to hit me?”

Assistant City Attorney Jon Vogt told

Michael Alter testifi es Thursday. “I was down there exercising my First Amendment rights, then I get attacked by somebody, just for being down there?” he says.

jurors in closing arguments that Frazier landed four punches to Alter’s head and face. Alter’s prescription sunglasses were broken. He did not punch back.

“I was in disbelief,” Alter testifi ed. “I was down there exercising my First Amendment rights, then I get attacked by somebody, just for being down there?”

The attack left Alter with a torn artery in his eye.

“It was like looking through a dirty window,” he said.

Four months later, he had eye surgery. He replaced the $350 prescription sunglasses.

Frazier’s attorneys argued that it wasn’t an assault, that Alter instigated the confrontation. They pointed to the “come on” gesture Alter made with his left hand after Frazier got out of the truck.

Vogt told jurors that Frazier’s own words in phone calls from the Hamilton County Justice Center showed it wasn’t a mutual fi ght.

Frazier said in a jail call that he

“wanted to knock him out so badly.”

“I don’t regret what I did,” Frazier said in one of multiple jail calls played Jan. 8 in Hamilton County Municipal Court as Frazier’s trial began.

“I kept hitting him… ‘cause I was trying to drop him,” Frazier told his brother, who also was in the pickup that stopped near a crowd protesting the rally.

Frazier asked, at one point: “I didn’t look weak in the video, did I? I at least looked like I knew how to throw down, didn’t I?” Frazier also said he “lost a $100K-ayear” job because of the incident.

“It’s crazy what three punches can do,” he said to a woman, who then told

Frazier his father had suggested making T-shirts. The shirts would say: “Making America Great Again Three Licks at a Time.”

“I wish I would have dropped his a-like a sack of fl our. I would have looked a lot cooler,” he said. “At least I only hit one dude. (Now) he’ll have to go to the hospital every time he sneezes to get his eye put back in.”

A police offi cer’s body camera captured Frazier, after being handcuff ed, saying, “It was my fault, 100 percent.”

Frazier will be sentenced Jan. 17 by Hamilton County Municipal Judge Brad Greenberg. He faces up to 180 days in jail.

Police said scrap man took North College Hill food pantry box Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Police in North College Hill said a man who picks up scrap returned a marked food pantry box after learning it had been reported stolen.

People’s Pantry Cincy representatives reported the repainted former Enquirer newspaper sales box stolen Sunday, Jan. 5, according to a North College Hill Police Department Facebook post.

The man who picked up the food pantry as scrap brought it back after learning it was reported taken, a police offi cial said.

The People’s Pantry was painted green with yellow letters NCH on the front for North College Hill.

The back of the box is painted with the words “The Giving Tree” with soup and corn cans shown at the end of tree branches.

The North College Hill pantry box was made by Zane Reeb as an Eagle Scout project. The box was installed in July at 2022 Dallas Ave. There were bricks in the bottom to weigh the box down and prevent someone from taking it.

The pantry is in front of North College Hill City Councilwoman Amber Bailey’s house. She helps stock the pantry and her family checks the box’s status several times a day.

“It’s literally a take what you need, leave what you can,” Bailey said.

The box was back on Dallas Avenue Monday, she said. The hope is to put it back in service in a day or two, she said.

“It has fed hundreds of people,” Bailey said.

Toothbrushes, toothpaste and shampoo are sometimes left in the box for people to take as well, she said.

Zane Reeb installs a converted former Enquirer newspaper box painted NCH for North College Hill in July 2019. The box was reported stolen Sunday and then later returned by a man who told police he thought it was scrap.

PEOPLE'S PANTRY CINCY/PROVIDED

“We’ve put in a lot of necessities because people are struggling,” she said.

Backpacks and clothing have been placed either on her front porch or at the box as well, she said. Nonperishable canned foods are taken inside when it is too hot or freezing, she said.

The pantry box was one of 15 donated

by The Enquirer, said Lisa Andrews, founder of People’s Pantry Cincy. Andrews said she started the fi rst People’s Pantry Cincy in September 2018 in

Pleasant Ridge where she lives.

Boxes, some from The Enquirer and Cincinnati Herald, and some made of wood or other materials. A People’s Liberty grant from the Haile Foundation enabled boxes to be placed in 10 low-income food desert neighborhoods, Andrews said. A food desert is defi ned as an area with a predominance of low-income residents who have limited access to aff ordable and nutritious food, according to an April 2019 Enquirer article

.

Andrews said her box in Pleasant Ridge is on a bus line where people can grab a can or two of food as they are on the go. Sometimes the pantry is emptied and fi lled a few times each day, she said.

This isn’t the fi rst time a pantry was taken. Around Christmas 2018 a pantry box in Price Hill was taken, Andrews said. It was replaced in the spring of 2019 with a new pantry box, she said.

Eye-catching food trends for 2020, and making fi sh in parchment Simple steelhead trout en Papillote (fi sh in parchment) Usually, I top the seasoned fi sh with julienned vegetables like onion, zucchini and carrot mixed with garlic and olive oil. Then a couple lemon slices. And a little white wine for flavor and promoting steam.

But not today. All I had on hand was olive oil, seafood seasoning, lemon juice and parsley, so that’s what I used. The parchment didn’t puff much since there was very little liquid, but the fi sh turned out yummy.

Now if you can, defi nitely make it with the vegetable topping; but if you can’t, I want you to try this simply seasoned version.

Fish wrapped in parchment ready for oven.

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

A few food trends for 2020 have really caught my eye. Among them is the color blue. No, not blueberries. Or even blue potatoes. Have I peaked your interest? Read on.

Purple yams Ube is the new “it” root veggie – actually more purple than blue. It’s showing up in ice creams and donuts.

Mountain spinach Orach, called mountain spinach, is being haled as the new kale. Orach has a bluish purple tint. It won’t bolt to seed as quickly as spinach.

Butterfl y pea The most intriguing of blue foods is butterfl y pea vine. I’ve never heard of it.

Have you? Flowers are brilliant blue and make a super healthy tea. I’ll be planting it and will keep you informed.

Ingredients

Fish cooked in parchment.

For each serving, 6-8 oz. fi sh, skinned and checked for bones Olive oil

Here’s a couple more trends important to me, and, I hope to you: Caring for the planet Watch for edible (?!) and biodegradable packaging, and reusable everything.

Sustainable farming/aquaculture You’ve probably heard of sustainable and regenerative farming for both plants and soil.

Then there’s aquaculture – farm raised fi sh. It continues to evolve.

Both wild and farm raised fi sh can be delicious and healthy. It depends on adherence to sustainable practices, so make informed choices.

We’re determined to eat more healthy fi sh, so I made steelhead trout and roasted it in parchment.

Steelhead looks similar to salmon, and has a mild salmon fl avor. It’s usually less expensive.

Anything baked in parchment looks impressive, though the technique is easy.

Here’s how to make this simple, delicious and, need I say, pretty, dish.

Lemon juice Favorite fi sh seasoning Parchment paper Parsley for garnish (opt) Instructions Preheat oven to 375.

Place each piece of fi sh in center of rather large square (or heart shaped piece) of parchment.

Drizzle on a little olive oil, lemon juice, seasoning and, if using, parsley.

Fold parchment over fi sh. Seal edges very tightly in 1⁄ 44” folds, sort of like crimping pie dough. That creates a half moon shape.

Place on baking sheet and roast 10-12 minutes. Fish flakes easily when done.

Don’t overcook.

Place parchment packages on plates. Open carefully, and if you want, slide fi sh off parchment, making sure to get all juices.

More fi sh that roasts well Salmon, arctic char, flounder or other white fi sh.

No parchment? No problem.

Use foil. It won’t puff, but as long as you seal it (no need to crimp), you’ll have good results.

Viewpoints Mall decorum: Teens do really dumb stuff Byron McCauley Columnist Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

I did a few really dumb things as a teen and young adult. The dumbest thing by far happened one Saturday night when I was 16. With my classmate as a passenger, I drove mother’s blue, vinyltopped Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight luxury sedan, drunker than Otis Campbell trying to sober up in Sheriff Andy Griffi th’s Mayberry jail.

We illegally bought beer in my sleepy hometown. The Schlitz malt liquor we chose was cheap, potent and really bad.

Ask Judge Ted Berry.

We did not die. We were not captured by our local sheriff ’s deputies. This was only by the grace of God. We both made it home, but the last thing I remember was the tiger that leaped in front of the car before I pulled into the driveway. I vomited. I never repeated that mistake. And I don’t remember when my driving privileges were reinstated.

A few weeks ago, at Northgate Mall, police said “hundreds” of teens decided to violate their curfew and rout the mall.

This event, organized on social media, was a very dumb thing to do. Apparently, this has become somewhat of a silly, national trend. It caused businesses to lose money and it cost communities thousands in public safety dollars. Meanwhile, Kenwood Mall upped its security presence during the holidays and banned anyone under 18 from shopping there without a parent or guardian who was over 21. A white mom with a black

Hundreds of teens showed up at Northgate Mall in Colerain Township past curfew, officials said. THE ENQUIRER/MADELINE MITCHELL

son told me he was mistreated as a result of that policy, and I reported that.

Teenagers don’t think about the ramifi cations of their actions. They are guided by their id, and the id of a 15-year-old is a dangerous thing. Letter writers and critics emailed and called me after the Kenwood Mall column, accusing me of all manner of things, but mostly for not calling out the teens and the mischief.

They wanted me to call out their parents – mostly their “single moms” for not instilling discipline in them. They wanted me to blame their “absentee” dads for their lack of a moral compass (Note: Not all kids come from broken homes).

That would be way too simple and not

super helpful. There is a bit of truth in all of the perspectives. There are also moral absolutes, but this is not completely a question of morality.

Yes, the teens were wrong to do what they did at Northgate. And they were lucky that law enforcement showed a measure of restraint in de-escalating the situation, which could have quickly gone south. Instead of taking a bat to mailboxes or toilet-papering the big oak tree in Mr. Johnson’s front yard, the modern idea of fun is going to the local mall, violating curfew and maybe even getting into a fi st-fi ght. Today, the ramifi cations of this behavior have never been more.

A relatively small mistake that gets a

kid arrested and into the justice system has lifelong eff ects, from not attaining higher education to creating employment barriers for themselves.

Avondale civic leader Ozie Davis, a dad who runs the Queen City Youth Development Program, was on social media the night things went awry trying to get a handle on what was going on.

“Today’s teen is evolving in the most toxic and most traumatic environment ever, as the Internet, lack of family unity and social media have changed the landscape while all systems in assisting our youth lag behind,” he told me.

In my day, this was not the case. The stakes did not seem as high. We could not access social media, summon 100 friends and intimidate shoppers en masse. Nor would we ever think of doing so.

However, even though I had a mom and dad in my home and heavy chores to do every day, I put my life and my friend’s life at risk by driving drunk in my mother’s car. And I was glad mom kept my mistake from the community village, because of every aunt, uncle and elder in my church had permission to discipline me, and I don’t doubt they would have.

Kids need to learn to take personal responsibility for their mistakes. And we need to allow them to learn from their mistakes. Parents need to take personal responsibility for their kids’ actions. And the village – from great organizations like Boys & Girls Clubs to caring adults who see a need and fi ll it – has an opportunity to stand in the gap for all of them.

Moeller’s McBride on West Virginia:

‘I wanted to be pushed hard’ Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

As a junior at Moeller High School, it appeared as if Miles McBride’s career path was in football. In 2017, the Crusader quarterback started the season on fi re and many schools, including the hometown Cincinnati Bearcats, had their eyes on the 6-foot-2, 180-pounder who was a dual-threat nightmare.

McBride was 11-for-12 passing in a win over Hamilton, then 21-for-31 for 277 yards and three scores in a loss to Louisville Trinity. He followed that going 14-for-18 and four scores against

Scott County (Ky.) with 118 yards rushing. Then, he went 9-for-11 and fi ve touchdowns against Lafayette (Ky.).

Then came the St. Xavier game.

McBride had thrown for a touchdown against the Bombers but suff ered a severe foot injury early in the contest.

Moeller fans knew the injury was not only bad for football, but for basketball where McBride had started as a sophomore on a 28-1 squad that lost in the state fi nal.

However, McBride had a rapid recovery from the injury and by March he was able to suit up for coach Carl Kremer’s basketball team in the state semifi nal

Moeller fends off La Salle in GCL-South slugfest Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

MONFORT HEIGHTS - To the surprise of no one, Friday night’s Greater Catholic-League matchup of topranked Moeller against undefeated La Salle, was the knock-down-drag-out expected.

There were knockdowns, dragouts and a hard-fought 45-43 Moeller win over the host La Salle Lancers.

La Salle had the ball for the fi nal minute down two points and couldn’t score.

While Moeller celebrated, La Salle coach Pat Goedde blamed himself.

“When you play a big team like that you’ve got to fi nish at the end there,”

Goedde said. “Our guys fought. They’re hurt right now, but they’re more resilient than us. We’ll be OK. It’s just one of those things. We are one of the better teams in the city. It was a great GCL night. We just didn’t win.”

Moeller’s Carl Kremer expected the rock fi ght that ensued with jabbing cheers coming from both sides of the court.

“This is what you get when you come here,” Kremer said. “I thought their kids were great. Our kids woke up after the fi rst fi ve minutes. It was a heavyweight fi ght.”

Max Land topped Moeller with 14 points and Logan Duncomb had 9 points and 7 rebounds. However, after

his dunk with 3:11 remaining, the Crusaders didn’t score again. This after going on a 6-0 run to regain the lead.

“We knew they were going to fi ght hard. We came in trying to get one and we just held our own,” Land said. “It’s crazy, yeah, but I try to keep everybody together, keep everyone intact and we did that tonight. That’s what it’s all about right here.”

Jaylen Lemons led La Salle with 15.

Though the Lancers’ tallest player is 6-4 and most of Moeller’s are in that range, the Crusaders only won the rebounding advantage 23-21. The Lancers shot just 22.2% from the three-point line with See MOELLER, Page 2B

freshman is already having a huge impact.

In a November tournament in Cancun, McBride came off the bench for 18 points to lead a comeback win against Northern Iowa.

“Deuce made some huge shots for us,” Huggins said. “He’s in the huddle at the end when we needed to get it up the fl oor, he’s saying, ‘Just give it to me. I’m good.’”

Shortly after coming home for the holidays, McBride was in Columbus against then-No. 2 Ohio State. He fi nished with 21 points in 25 minutes in the 67-59 win over the Buckeyes.

“That’s what he did for us down in Cancun,” Huggins said. “We were struggling to score, and we weren’t sure what we were going to do inside. I thought maybe we could just fl atten them out and let him play.”

He has played and he has sung.

Though many come to West Virginia with sparse amounts of John Denver on their playlists, they all know the words to “Take Me Home Country Roads,” particularly after a victory.

“I love hearing it after a win,” McBride said during his recent break in Cincinnati. “It shows the family atmosphere in West Virginia. Just everything about Morgantown, I love it; I absolutely love it.”

Like Brannen at UC, who also played Moeller football, Huggins recognized the toughness and competitiveness a Greater Catholic League-South schedule brings. Once he focused on basketball, McBride knew he could contribute for the Mountaineers.

“I went to work in the summer and was up there June 1,” McBride said. “I’m glad that Coach Huggins trusts me and allows me to play under him. It’s a great

experience. It’s what I signed up for. I wanted to be pushed hard and I love it.

He’s a legend.”

As for the intensity of a Huggins practice, the Mountaineer freshman said Carl Kremer was no picnic either.

The end result is both coaches have a slew of wins and a slew of players who often come back to greet them.

At Moeller’s pre-Christmas win over Medina, numerous Crusader state title team alumni - including McBride - came to watch. Just two seasons ago, the Moeller starting lineup featured current New Orleans NBA Pelican Jaxson Hayes, Jeremiah Davenport of UC and new Morgantown favorite Miles.

For Kremer, it was like having a holiday gathering and saying hello to family members.

“When you get old like me, nothing’s better,” Kremer said of the reunion. “I love to hear about guys’ families and what they’re doing. As a teacher and a coach that’s the best, to know how your kids are doing.”

As for Moeller’s current cast of Crusaders featuring Alex Williams, Max Land, Logan Duncomb and several others being sought to play in college, McBride thinks a third straight title is in the cards.

“They’re athletic and the chemistry is there,” McBride said. “If they just listen to the coach and get better as the year goes on, they’re going to make another great run.”

By March, McBride also hopes to still be on the court. The Mountaineers have just started their gauntlet of Big 12 games, so nothing is easy. Huggins and the Mountaineers missed the postseason last year for a variety of reasons, but it would be a safe bet that stubbornness prevails and the Mountaineers return.

“Just learning under him, there’s nothing like it, honestly,” McBride said.

McCracken would later give Moeller some breathing room at 22-18 with a three-pointer, but high-fl ying 6-foot junior Justin Lovette kept La Salle close with a steal leading to a lay-in and a dunk. At the break, Moeller’s lead was tight at 2422.

La Salle wouldn’t regain the lead until the fourth quarter. Jeff rey Queens Jr. hit a free throw to put them up 40-39 with 4:38 remaining. Queens would hit a three-ball late to make it 45-43 where it stayed.

“Jeff hit that three and I thought we were going to roll in and get the last shot and it just didn’t happen,” Goedde said. “They knew what we were running at the end and made us get off of what we were trying to do.”

Moeller has won or shared the last seven GCL-South titles with La Salle sharing top billing in 2015 and 2016.

The Lancers last won it outright in 2012.

Kenwood artist paints portraits of notable Tristaters Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Kenwood resident Deborah Ridgley has painted oil portraits of 56 notable Tristaters.

Some you probably know. Others you probably should know.

Well-known subjects of the artist include Jim Tarbell of Downtown Cincinnati, historic preservation consultant, former Cincinnati City Council member and restaurateur; Jim Scott of Lawrenceburg, Indiana, retired radio personality at 700 WLW and 1360 WSAI; and Julie Isphording of Columbia Tusculum, former Olympic marathoner who is now an entrepreneur, author and director of the annual Thanksgiving Day Race in Cincinnati.

Lesser known people include Nancy Eigel-Miller of Mariemont, executive director of 1N5, which works to increase awareness of mental health issues; James Donald Wilson of Blue Ash, owner of the Nati Ninja Obstacle Course and Training Center and a six-time American Ninja Warrior Athlete; and Lee and Sue

Schaefer of Wilder, Kentucky, co-founders of “Portrait of a Soul,” a non-profi t organization that commissions portraits of children with craniofacial conditions who have been identifi ed as youths who would benefi t emotionally from the experience.

Ridgley began inviting a cross-section of newsmakers and unique personalities to sit for her in February 2018. The project, called “A Portrait of Cincinnati,” is continuing.

“As an artist living and working in the area my entire life, I have always wanted to ‘paint the town’ and see the great people of Cincinnati through an artist’s eyes,” Ridgley said.

“The most exciting part of this project was meeting the wonderful variety of participants who volunteered to sit for their portrait sketch.”

Ridgley also interviews her subjects and draws out their feelings about Cincinnati.

For instance, Isphording told her, “I am in love with Cincinnati. It’s an amazing city, close to magical...full of outrageously wonderful people who are courageous, kind, generous and wicked smart.”

In 2019, Tim Arnold of Northside, who founded Lawn Life to give jobs and a second chance to at-risk young people, won the national award.

Other recent national winners were Nancy Eigel-Miller of Mariemont, honored in 2018 for suicide prevention work, and Suzy DeYoung of Milford, honored in 2017, for creating a non-profi t that enlists restaurant owners to help feed low income families.

“Greater Cincinnati has incredibly generous and creative people who are changing the world around them,” said Shula. “We want to recognize them here at home and nationally. That’s why we’re asking the public to look at the people who make a diff erence and nominate them.”

The Jeff erson Awards is a program of the national non-profi t Multiplying Good, which promotes community service and presents the national Jeff erson Awards honoring outstanding service in more than a dozen categories, from service by public offi cials and professional Flowerssports fi gures to service by private citiThomas zens, students and corporations.

The Rotary Club of Cincinnati has coordinated the local nomination and award program since 2005. The award honors community volunteers who provide special services to organizations or have created programs that serve unmet needs. Nominees exemplify the Rotary motto: Service above self.

The Rotary Club of Cincinnati was founded in 1910 as a service and networking organization with a mission to provide selfl ess service and to meet needs of children with disabilities. With close to 350 members, it is the largest Rotary Club in Greater Cincinnati.

Yang received perfect subscores in English, math, reading, and science.

Yang said early preparation was instrumental in his success. “I prepared for the ACT this summer so I wasn’t surprised or stressed out by anything on the day of the test, but like with any standardized test, luck plays a part in getting a perfect score,” said Yang.
