Dear Restaurant and Butchery planned for Hyde Park Square Polly Campbell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Dear Restaurant and Butchery, to open in Hyde Park Square this spring, was born at a wedding. Friends who had worked together in fi ne dining (including the bride and groom) settled on the idea. And instead of waking up the next morning and changing their mind, they’re making it a reality.

It’s an ambitious project. Dear Restaurant and Butcher, or just Dear for short, will be a complete makeover of the old Teller’s space, a restaurant with a butcher counter in the front, wine lockers in the back, a wine wall, a charcuterie program, room for private dining, and a second-fl oor patio.

The building occupies an important place on the north side of the square.

Austin Heidt is coming back home to open Dear. “I grew up around here, in Mount Lookout, going to Summit Country Day, hanging out at Graeter’s,” he said.

The bride and groom at that wedding were Corinne and Brent Oberholzer. The three had worked together at the fi ne dining restaurant Frasca in Boulder, Colorado, where the owner was a James Beard Best Chef.

Ashley Robertson, Austin’s girlfriend, who’s also from Cincinnati, was there, too.

The Oberholzers decided their married life would begin in Cincinnati, and they moved here to work on what’s become Dear. Corinne will be general manager, Brent the beverage director.

They didn’t have a chef at that point. But then they met Brian Young.

He was newly arrived in Cincinnati, having moved here from Boston. He has worked at Harvest, Citizen Public House & Oyster Bar, Post 390 and Matt Jenning’s Townsman. He also competed on the Kentucky season of Top Chef, making it to the fi nal eight.

“As soon as we met and talked, I knew. They were talking about opening the kind of restaurant I’ve always wanted to open,” said Young. “I felt like I was meant to fi nd this place.”

Cincinnati native receives Newbery Honor for ‘Home’ Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati native Jasmine Warga has won a top honor from the American Library Association.

Warga’s recent novel “Other Words for Home” was recently named a Newbery Honor Book. Warga is a 2006 Sycamore High School graduate and grew up in Greater Cincinnati. She published her fi rst novel, “My Heart and Other Black Holes,” in 2015.

Each year the American Library Association honors books, videos and other outstanding materials for children and teens.

“Other Words for Home” was one of four books to be named Newbery Honor Books. “New Kid,” written by Jerry Craft, was named the 2020 Newbery

Medal winner.

Publisher Harper Collins describes the book as “a gorgeously written, hopeful middlegrade novel in verse about a young girl who Warga must leave Syria to move to the United States.”

“This lyrical, life-affi rming story is about losing and fi nding home and, most importantly, fi nding yourself,” Harper Collins said.

Warga’s book was also named an NPR favorite book of 2019 and a Publisher’s Weekly best book of 2019, according to Warga’s website.

“I can’t thank the committee enough.

My whole family is crying. My dad is calling everyone in Jordan. This just means the world,” Warga tweeted.

Your Community Press and Recorder newspaper looks a little different today.

The size of the page is longer.

Why, you ask?

Simple. We are changing locations where the paper is printed – to Louisville from Lafayette, Ind. The confi guration of the printing presses is diff erent, thus the change to what we call a “broadsheet” format.

Because of the bigger page size, you may see fewer pages in some editions, but we are not reducing the number of stories.

The larger format also includes more options for our advertisers, making it a win across the board.

We hope you share our excitement as we make this change in format.

Dear Continued from Page 1A

The name refl ects what they want to create.

“Cincinnati is family. I want to bring everything I know about how people here love about going to eat.

It’s about togetherness, eating with those who are near and dear to you.” said Heidt. “But adding the nuances of what we’ve learned out of town.”

The space has been stripped down to its bare bones: The main fl oor, a mezzanine, the vault room, the deck and the impressive front entrance from the building’s original use as a bank.

The Drawing Department is doing the design, which Heidt describes as timeless and residential. It will incorporate a lot of Rookwood tiles. Some will make up the fl oor of the front entrance.

Just to the left will be a butcher counter. Young has a lot of butchery experience, so they’ll run it as a neighborhood butcher. It will also be open for coff ee, sandwiches, and soft-ice cream during the day.

“It’s about building a relationship of trust with the neighborhood,” said Young.

Most of the seats will be on the main fl oor, which will have a large wine wall with a library ladder for access, and a small bar in the corner.

The facing wall will feature the charcuterie counter, with a huge Berkel meat slicer.

An area in the back will have wine lockers.

“We’re going to make wine lockers cool again,” said Heidt, who is the wine director.

Upstairs will be a little more formal.

There will be a lounge for waiting for a table, and more room for larger parties or special events or tasting menus in an area that will seat 24. The deck will hold seating for 50.

As for the menu, the team sees a lot of sharing, passing of plates, something convivial. Good service, without feeling stifl ed.

They expect the check average might be $65.

They think they can open in late spring.

State officials are now getting more time to consider the arguments against the Duke Energy Pipeline project.

COURTESY OF DUKE ENERGY

Judge: Duke Energy pipeline project put on hold for review Segann March incinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Although approved in November, an administrative law judge ordered Duke Energy’s pipeline project to be placed on hold until the Ohio Power Siting Board thoroughly reviews the case again.

Neighbors Opposing Pipeline Extension (NOPE) and offi cials with Blue Ash, Cincinnati, Evendale, Reading, and Hamilton County fi led an Application for Rehearing with OPSB at the end of December — a fi rst step in the appealing process.

The administrative law judge approved the application on Jan. 17.

The group and community residents are arguing that the board did not consider all evidence fairly before approving the Central Corridor Pipeline project.

Sally Thelen, the spokesperson for Duke Energy Midwest, said the company isn’t worried about the situation because it’s not unusual for these types of projects.

“This is a very critical project that

Midwest Ammunition cited

by OSHA after employee death

we need,” she told the Enquirer Tuesday. “We’re moving forward with the project with the order we received from the siting board. The application process itself is a marathon, not a sprint.”

Key points asserted by NOPE: ❚ The board failed to consider probable environmental impacts and determine whether routing decisions represented minimal impact. ❚ The board failed to defi ne the pipeline as a transmission line, rather than a distribution line. ❚ The board incorrectly determined that the pipeline serves the public convenience and necessity because it did not address legitimate public safety concerns. ❚ The board incorrectly applied a standard of “convenience” rather than “need” in evaluating Duke’s application and failed to determine whether reasonable alternatives exist. ❚ In reaching their decision, the board relied on discredited evidence, inadmissible evidence and/or unsubstantiated claims and also disregarded cred-

ible evidence that was presented Jared Newman, the spokesman for NOPE, believes the hold is a good sign.

“There’s been a lot of pipeline explosions,” Newman told Fox 19. “This is a very invasive solution for what is basically a small amount of additional energy.”

Thelen said the rehearing does not mean the process will start over or that there will be a new evidentiary hearing.

“We 100 percent are confi dent that we can construct and operate this pipeline safely and responsibly,” Thelan said.

What happens next?

There is no clear timeline for what is next. If the board chooses to stand by its original decision, then construction on the pipeline is expected to begin in late 2020 and conclude in 2021.

While the board reviews the evidence, Duke Energy plans to continue discussing initial pipeline designs and meeting with community leaders.

Enquirer media partner Fox 19 contributed to this report.

❚ A respiratory protection program was not implemented. ❚ Operating machine parts were not adequately guarded. ❚ The company did not ensure employees were provided and wore eye protection. ❚ There were several electrical safety violations.

OSHA has proposed fi ning Midwest Ammunition LLC $211,768.

“This tragic outcome could have been avoided by following safety guidelines and ensuring fl ammable and explosive materials were not exposed to potential ignition sources,” said OSHA Cincinnati Area Director Ken Montgomery.

Make your valentine feel special with these homemade truffl es Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

The fi rst time I had a chocolate truffl e was at a trendy Chicago restaurant during a food convention with my husband and his then employers, Howard and Jan Melvin of The Heritage Restaurant.

So long ago! I was immediately smitten with the silky chocolate confection.

Since then I’ve made lots of truffl es, but none are better than Jane Cervantes’. Jane, a Maineville reader and expert chocolatier, also makes other ethereal creations that stun the eye and please the palate. She’s been a popular guest on my cable show, and the recipe I’m sharing today is one we made together.

Make your special valentine feel well, pretty special with a box of homemade truffl es.

Rita’s chocolate truffles. PROVIDED

They require only a few ingredients and are easy to make.

And as we approach Valentine’s Day, remember “someone” who may be lonely, in need of a friendly call, card, or maybe a plate of truffl es. Share the love!

Jane Cervantes’ chocolate truffles. PROVIDED

Jane’s chocolate truffles Called truffles since they originally were made to resemble the precious black truffle mushroom.

If you look at Jane’s truffles next to mine, you’ll see hers are very round and elegant while mine, though pretty, aren’t quite as perfectly shaped. So you have two choices, and both are acceptable.

1 tablespoon butter, softened (optional — that’s my touch) Coatings

ly melted. It looks light and lumpy at fi rst, but will smooth to a glossy brown.

If you still have unmelted pieces, place bowl in microwave for 20 seconds or so.

Whisk again to smooth.

Melted chocolate

Stir in vanilla.

Cocoa powder

Cover and refrigerate until fi rm enough to scoop or roll into balls. I use a small ice cream scoop.

1 teaspoon vanilla

Confectioners’ sugar

The recipe can be cut in half.

Finely chopped nuts, sprinkles, etc.

Use your choice of good chocolate.

Read labels – fi rst ingredient should be chocolate.

INSTRUCTIONS Truffles

Place in refrigerator until set/chilled, an hour or so. In a hurry? Chill in freezer.

INGREDIENTS

Place chocolate in heat/microwave proof bowl.

Can be stored up to 2 weeks before coating, covered, in refrigerator.

Heat cream until simmering so it’s hot enough to melt chocolate.

Coatings

Truffle base 11⁄ 2 pounds quality chocolate - I like half bittersweet and half semisweet, chopped into small pieces 1 cup whipping cream

Pour hot cream over chocolate and butter, and slowly whisk until complete-

Place truffles on sprayed paper.

Melted chocolate. (Be careful — pull off heat while some lumps remain, then stir to smooth; chocolate will seize if over-

heated or if water gets into it.)

Let cool a bit before coating truffles.

Dip chilled truffles and set on sprayed surface. Refrigerate, covered, until coating sets.

Sprinkles/nuts. Do this before chocolate sets.

Cocoa or confectioners sugar. Drop truffles in bowl with coating, rolling them around to coat.

Store, covered, in refrigerator. Bring to room temperature to eat.

Madeira Superintendent Kenji Matsudo updates attendees about district events at a recent Senior Citizen Community Coffee. PROVIDED PHOTOS

Amy Aspenwall (center), surrounded by AP Environmental Sciences students , is one of 20 teachers selected for “Nourish the Future” training.

Madeira Schools resolve to help district’s senior citizens

Reesë Tuttle takes the lead organizing students to work on small learning projects; she is the founder of the Indian Hill Hack Club. Simply stated, the group is a computer science and information tech club at Indian Hill High School.

“We are an offi cial club with HackClub.com, and we are in the process of joining the INTERAlliance of Greater Cincinnati where internship opportunities and more will open up!” explained Tuttle with energy.

She can’t help but show her enthusiasm … this club is her dream come true.

“Our club has already established some wonderful partnerships, of these partnerships, EC-Council is the most exciting right now! EC-Council is the largest Cyber Security Certifi cation organization in the world and their certifi cations are recognized by Fortune 500s, U.S. Government, and U.S. Military. Never before have they worked with a high school like this. We are in talks to bring in their professional certifi cation training that can cost $6,000-plus and make it available to students for a fraction of that price. This means that Indian Hill students would get world-class cybersecurity training and professional certifi cation that is in hot demand.”

Did we mention yet that Tuttle is a freshman?

“Wow – just wow; that is really all you can say,” said Indian Hill High School Principal Jeff Damadeo. “It is amazing. I’m constantly in awe of what our students set out to accomplish through our school-supported clubs and organizations, and the work Reesë is leading is truly unparalleled.”

“I believe that more people would go into technology if they understood how easy and fun it can be,” said Tuttle. “Everyone starts out with a simple workshop, building your fi rst web page, which leads to exploration of the paths of development, design or security. There are many ‘drag and drop’ builders that require little to no code for someone to start developing!

“We also have a partnership with SiteGround web hosting company, one of the largest web hosting companies in the world, so that we can provide ALL of our club members with a space on the internet to use the professional web design tools that we have been granted access to. Club members can build their own website, set up a blog, or just tinker.”

Enter Room 116 at IHHS. The space – a Digital Arts Lab new to Indian Hill High School this year – is where the magic all happens. Creation of the space was supported through private funding through the Indian Hill Foundation.

Loveland science teacher to attend national teacher leadership training As one of only 20 teachers nationwide, Loveland High School Science Teacher Amy Aspenwall has been selected to attend the national teacher leadership training by EducationProjects.org in San Antonio in February.

The training will take place at the Commodity Classic, the nation’s largest agricultural trade show and professional development event.

“This is really exciting for me personally, but also for Loveland High School,” said Aspenwall. “It will provide leadership opportunities and allow collaboration with teachers around the country to identify and create new problem-based modules, fl ipped classroom materials and science labs for our students.”

EducationProjects.org has connected industry to the classroom for more than 20 years. The training, “Nourish the Future,” will introduce participants to the latest developments in water quality, sustainable agriculture, and 21st-century tools and technology in precision agriculture.

It will allow teachers to take part in a curated tour of the trade show, with a focus on the science and engineering that support the production of food, fi ber and fuel. It will also highlight the connection between the science they teach in the classroom and the application to food production and food security.

After the three-day event, teachers will continue to collaborate and access additional training through webinars and national and regional conferences.

“Agriculture is an important aspect of our work and a great opportunity to engage students in concepts and activities that impact their own lives,” Aspenwallsaid.

Through the nomination of Aspenwall and her AP Environmental Science class at LHS, Loveland City Schools earned the Sustainability Award by the Little Miami River Chamber Alliance in 2018. The award recognized the work with students and the commitment to developing environmental leaders for the future.

Aspenwall’s class continues to off er authentic, hands-on opportunities for students to understand issues like water quality and biodiversity, and allows them to develop innovative solutions to problems. The class was implemented at LHS in the fall of 2016.

One student’s dream come true: Indian Hill Hack Club The magic happens once a week, typically on Tuesday afternoons, inside Room 116 at Indian Hill High School.

Summit inducts four-sport athlete, former soccer coach into Hall of Fame Summit Country Day inducted a four-sport athlete and a successful former boys’ varsity soccer coach into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame during halftime of a girls’ varsity basketball game Jan. 11 in Flannery Gymnasium.

The inductees for this year are John McJoynt III ’80 and Barnard Baker.

Barnard Baker The boys’ varsity soccer program has won fi ve state championships since 2012. As an assistant and then head coach, Barnard Baker was one of the architects of this successful program.

While at The Summit, he also served as the Assistant Director for Upper School Admission.

In his seven seasons as head coach, the Silver Knights won back-to-back state championships, two regional titles, six district championships and three

John McJoynt III, left, and Barnard Baker comprised this year’s Athletic Hall of Fame class. JOE SIMON

consecutive Miami Valley Conference championships.

He compiled a 107-21-17 record at The Summit.

In addition, Barnard was the 2013 runner-up for National Coach of the Year, a two-time Cincinnati and Kentucky coach of the year and MVC coach of the year on three occasions.

Even with all those accolades, Barnard says his greatest accomplishment is helping hundreds of student-athletes achieve their dreams of playing soccer in college and at the professional level.

Baker graduated from the University of Kentucky with bachelor’s degree in journalism and advertising.

He works for Goodwill Industries as a Director of Marketing, PR and Communications. He volunteers with Ronald McDonald House, Gilda’s Club, Susan G. Komen, Home of the Innocents and the American Heart Association. He lives in Louisville with his wife and two children.

John McJoynt III The Summit encourages its student-athletes toparticipate in multiple sports during their time on campus. John McJoynt III took advantage of that philosophy, playing football, golf, basketball and baseball.

John, a Summit lifer, played football and golf, both fall sports, at the same time in each of his four years in the Upper School.

On the gridiron, John was a four-year varsity starter and letter winner. He anchored positions on off ense and defense. When the Silver Knights had the ball, he was a tight end and wide receiver. When opponents had possession, he was all over the fi eld as a defensive end and in the secondary.

On the links, John was a four-year letter winner and the team’s most valuable player in his junior and senior seasons.

As a basketball player, John earned two varsity letters and was a member of legendary coach Joe Cruse’s “Super Team” which had its magical 1978-79 season end in the state semifi nal.

John joined the baseball team his junior and senior year and picked up two more varsity letters. In his senior season, John was the team’s most valuable player.

He led the team in batting average (.425), total hits, singles, doubles, triples, home runs and runs batted in.

After graduation, he enlisted in the United States Navy, achieving the rank of Petty Offi cer Third Class.

He served as a Sonar Technician aboard the USS Memphis nuclear submarine. He earned numerous awards during his enlistment including a Commanding Offi cer’s Letter of Commendation and Vice Admiral Letter of Commendation for his performance aboard the USS Memphis.

The Madeira City Schools’ Board of Education is reaching out to Ohio’s elected offi cials in an attempt to help the district’s Senior Citizens with their tax bills.

At its Jan. 13 meeting, the board passed a resolution that takes issue with the state’s recent changes to its Homestead Exemption Act. Ohio’s Homestead Exemption Program allows senior citizens to reduce their property tax bills by shielding some of the market value of their homes from taxation. The exemption, which takes the form of a credit, allows qualifying homeowners to exempt up to $25,000 of the market value of their homes from all local property taxes. Through the Homestead Exemption, a home with a market value of $100,000 is billed as if it is worth $75,000. Residents also had to be at least 65 years old.

Changes made to the Homestead Exemption program when the state’s two-year budget was announced in 2016 eliminated some senior citizens from taking advantage of the program.

New participants are now subject to eligibility based on means testing, while current qualifying residents are allowed to retain the benefi t without meeting the new, tighter standards. The exemption will also only be available to those otherwise eligible taxpayers with household incomes that do not exceed $30,000, and are 65 years of age.

“When we meet with our senior citizens during the year, they overwhelmingly support the school district and all that we do to educate our students. However, they feel that the recent legislation eliminating the 12.5% rollback on new levies and the modifi cation to the homestead exemption continues to eat away at their ability to continue to fund the fi nancial needs of Madeira schools,” said Emily Hauser, Madeira City Schools Treasurer/CFO. “The seniors in our district want us to help them have a voice at the state level.

This resolution is our way of providing that voice.”

The goal of Madeira’s resolution is to change the law to basically go back to the prior Homestead Exemption program that did not have a means test that limits eligibility.

The resolution will be sent to Ohio’s representatives, governor, and other elected political leaders. The members of Madeira’s Board of Education are President Richard Palmer, Vice President Steve Bernicke, and members Paula Andruss, Ryan Lex, and Pat Shea.

Sports Kristi Hayes: Seeing strangers wear son Jaxson’s jersey ‘breathtaking’ Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

WALNUT HILLS - As the bus awaits to take the Loveland High School girls basketball team home, Kristi Hayes waits for her daughter to kiss her goodbye, then immediately fi xates on a streaming broadcast on her phone of the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans.

Having just watched University of Cincinnati signee Jillian score 25 points in a tough road defeat at Walnut Hills, Hayes is trying to catch what she can of oldest son Jaxson Hayes whose Pelicans game started at 4:30.

Be it by phone, TV or in person, Kristi Hayes has learned to watch and appreciate.

“The professional ranks are completely diff erent,” Hayes said. “I don’t even pretend to understand. I just enjoy watching. He’s above my level now. The thing that’s really surreal to me is when I walked into the arena, there were all kinds of strangers wearing his jersey.

That was breathtaking for me for a moment.”

Another day, another game Dinner for younger sons Jewitt and Jonah, Loveland junior high players, will likely come from a crockpot on a day like this. That particular piece of kitchenware is often sent into overtime due to the family’s varying tip-off s.

Husband, Jonathan Hayes, follows from some distance. The tight ends coach on the Bengals staff of Marvin Lewis is now head coach of the XFL St. Louis BattleHawks, whose home opener is Feb. 23. That same night, Jaxson will be in San Francisco playing the Warriors.

Depending on one’s perspective, it’s a dream or a nightmare or maybe a little of both.

Never discount the Hayes family Jonathan and Kristi Hayes have long been well-versed in athletic schedules from his days as a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers to being on staff with Marvin Lewis’s Bengals.

Kristi (Kinne) Hayes was just inducted into her high school Hall of Fame in Iowa where she amazingly scored more than 3,400 points in four years. She then played in the Missouri Valley Conference at Drake.

She’s overcome stage three ovarian cancer through chemotherapy and the removal of an ovary. Four kids later, she’s a picture of health and one of the busier mothers in Loveland.

Many know the story of oldest son Jaxson, who grew a foot in his four years at Moeller High School and didn’t start until he was a 6-10 senior.

From there he went to Shaka Smart and Texas and terrorized Big 12 shooters enough to be an NBA fi rst-round pick of the New Orleans Pelicans.

“His story is a great story; it’s one they make 30 for 30s (ESPN) on,” Hayes said. “Did I know he was an athletic guy that had the potential of being tall? Yes. But, there’s a lot more to that. There’s

work ethic, opportunities. I knew he was capable, but I didn’t know he would be here this quickly.”

Now, when watching Pelicans games on TV, she gets a chuckle when announcers point out the achievements of Jaxson’s father and omit the mother.

Considering the demands of a pro football coach, Kristi Hayes deserves to be sponsored by one of the local logistics companies.

Playing at Loveland, the 6-foot-2 University of Cincinnati signee is among league leaders in the Eastern Cincinnati Conference in several categories.

She’ll play for Michelle Clark-Heard next year in the American Athletic Conference, which will also keep the Hayes family hopping in fl yer miles.

Jillian is now used to the “sister of Jaxson Hayes” reference, though her credentials stand on their own.

“I’m proud of him and all he’s done,” Jillian Hayes said. “I could never be envious or tired of being his sister.”

Jillian has not yet seen her brother play due to her own hectic schedule. The

closest she’s come to New Orleans: the French Quarter beignets her mother has brought home.

Kristi admittedly is a little more active watching Jillian’s games as opposed to Jaxson’s. She may take an informative video but is generally well behaved in a society of over-reactive parents.

“I try to stay busy during the games,” she said. “I used to knit during the game.

I’ve gotten better. I really don’t say that much anymore.”

Jewitt (eighth grade) and Jonah (seventh grade), currently in the Loveland system, are 6-foot-1 and 5-foot-10, respectively.

Jewitt is actually taller than Jaxson was at the same age. She hasn’t seen either dunk yet, but it probably will be sooner rather than later.

“Jewitt says he can touch the rim and dunk a tennis ball but I haven’t seen it yet,” Hayes said.

Then there’s Jonathan, whose XFL team was in workouts in Houston, but will soon be in St. Louis to begin his squad’s season. His brother Jay Hayes, also an NFL veteran and a former member of the Bengals staff , is also BattleHawks defensive line coach.

Kristi Hayes has been to the Gateway City a couple of times but has been in charge of the three Hayes kids here in Cincinnati.

“I’ll be in St. Louis to pick him up so he can get back here for Jillian’s senior See HAYES , Page 2B

Loveland High honors athletes at Hall of Fame inductions Submitted by Susanne Quigley Loveland City School District

Loveland High School (LHS) hosted the Class of 2019 Athletic Hall of Fame inductions on Friday, Jan. 10.

The ceremony took place at halftime during the Boys Basketball game against West Clermont High School, and a reception folowed in the LHS Media Center after the game.

Members inducted include: Jessica Ajunwa (LHS Class of ’10), Andrew Alten (LHS Class of ‘14), Sam Bolden (LHS Class of ‘72), and Sarah (Fisher) Kruger (LHS Class of ’10).

“Becoming a member of the Hall of Fame is the highest honor that an ath-

lete can achieve at the high school level,” said Kevin Taylor, program chairman. “It is my great pleasure to be able to recognize each of these outstanding athletes who have contributed so much to the athletics program at Loveland High School over the years.”

Jessica Ajunwa graduated from LHS in 2010 and was a member of the Girls Varsity Track Team all four years of high school. She was selected for 1st Team All-Fort Ancient Valley Conference (FAVC) as a sophomore, junior and senior and was named FAVC Runner of the Year in 2010.

She earned numerous additional awards her senior year, among others: 1st Team All-City and 1st Team All-

Southwest District for 100 meter dash and 200 meter dash, and qualifi ed for 2nd Team All-Regional and 2nd Team All-State in the same events. She placed 2nd in both 100 and 200 meter dash at the Midwest Meet of Champions. Ajunwa continued her track career at the University of Cincinnati.

Andrew Alten, member of the LHS Class of 2014, was a three-year Varsity Football letterman and a four-year letterman on the Division I Varsity Wrestling Team.

He played on the 2013 Division II Football State Champion Team and only months later earned the 285pound Wrestling State Champion title.

Alten earned numerous awards in both

sports throughout his high school career, among others, was named 1st Team All-State Off ensive Lineman, Anthony Munoz Off ensive Lineman of the Year, and Larosa’s High School MVP Finalist.

He holds several school history rankings for wrestling: #1 All-Time Rank for Season Wins (50), #2 All-Time Rank for Season Points (242) and #4 All-Time Rank for Season Take Down Effi ciency (155). Alten went on to play football at the University of Findlay, Ohio.

Little Miami Scenic Trail will connect to Fifty West Brewing’s new burger and beer garden Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The extension of the Little Miami Scenic Trail into Mariemont means big things for food and beer lovers.

This spring, Great Parks of Hamilton County and Columbia Township plan to complete phase one of their initiative to extend the Little Miami Scenic Trail into Mariemont.

The extension will include direct access to Fifty West Brewing Company’s new burger and beer garden concept.

“We’re thrilled to announce this fi rst phase of the extension of the Little Miami Scenic Trail,” Great Parks CEO Todd Palmeter said in a statement. “The public and private sectors of Columbia Township, Great Parks, and Fifty West working together to create greater access to shared-use trails and outdoor experiences for the residents of Hamilton County is exemplary and a model we plan to replicate on future projects.”

Preliminary construction began in January 2020 and a grand opening is expected in May. Offi cials said the existing trail bypasses Mariemont near Newtown Road but the new trail will continue west and

end at the Walton Creek Bridge.

“Great Parks and Columbia Township are currently reviewing proposals and securing funding to further develop the trail to the Mariemont Public Library,” offi cials said.

New Fifty West location is family-friendly Fifty West said it designed the new

burger bar and beer garden with a focus on families.

“Patrons entering the campus from the Little Miami Scenic Trail extension can expect plenty of bike parking, an outdoor dining space, a futsal court, green space for active programming and a sand play area for kids,” offi cials said.

The restaurant will feature Americana-style fare, including milkshakes, burgers, hot dogs and sandwiches in-

spired by the various states connected to Route 50 throughout America.

The restaurant also includes 16 beer taps along with house-brewed root beer and sodas for kids.

“This trail is an asset to Greater Cincinnati. We will continue to invest in infrastructure and programming that make our ‘back door’ along the path our ‘front door,’ as we race toward completion,” Fifty West founder and managing partner Bobby Slattery said. “Our goal with the space is to create an inclusive outdoor area that connects active people of all ages to the trail.”

Two area Bar Louie locations out of business Jennifer Edwards Baker Fox19

Bar Louie abruptly shut down at locations in Greater Cincinnati and Dayton recently.

Restaurants at Anderson Towne Center and Oakley Station shuttered their doors for good at the close of business Saturday, Jan. 25.

So did locations at Austin Landing in Miamisburg off Interstate 75 and The Greene in Beavercreek off I-675.

“To our loyal guests, our last day of business was January 25th, 2020,"

reads a Facebook post for the location at Anderson Towne Center.

The reason for the abrupt closures was not immediately provided. The website does not show any open locations in the area.

Bar Louie locations in other states also closed abruptly over the weekend, media outlets reported. Other closures include restaurants in Colorado, Maryland, Michigan and Wisconsin.

The location at Newport on the Levee shut down last spring.

Enquirer media partner Fox19 provided this report. Enquirer contributed.

COMMUNITY NEWS Loveland studio raises $1,450 for Cincinnati Therapeutic Riding and Horsemanship

On Dec. 20, 2019, the Reverend Francis Voellmecke celebrated the 60-year anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. He celebrated this remarkable accomplishment with his parish family at Our Lord Christ the King Church in Mt. Lookout on Dec. 14.

After celebrating the 4:30 pm Mass, Father Voellmecke was feted by family and friends at a reception.

Father Voellmecke grew up in Price Hill where his family was actively involved in Resurrection Church.

After entering St. Gregory Seminary in Mt. Washington at 13, he departed for Rome in 1954. He lived at the North American College and studied philosophy and theology at the Gregorian University. He was ordained in Rome on Dec. 20, 1959. Later, Father Voellmecke would earn a doctoral degree in philosophy from the University of Notre Dame.

During his career as a diocesan priest, Father Voellmecke has served in a variety of capacities: pastor, religion teacher, and seminary professor. His greatest joy was being a parish priest: parish life meant being a part of families’ lives. “To watch parents having a baby baptized and to see the care and love showered upon the baby is always touching. It just shows how powerful the responsibility is and how seriously the parents take it. Having to sacrifi ce for a child is such a great example of the cross and the crown.”

Growing up in a family of seven, Father Voellmecke knew well the joys and struggles of family life. His own family remained an important part of his life.

Father Voellmecke is the retired priest in residence at Our Lord Christ the King Church, where he still celebrates Mass and is a beloved part of the parish community. At the Dec. 14 Mass celebrating his anniversary, he gave his homily to a packed house.

Buckabee Brownies celebrates one year with a chance to win 365 brownies Buckabee Brownies is celebrating 365 days in business by giving away 365 brownies.

For native Cincinnatian Miriam Spitz and her husband, Tom Kahan, opening the bakery has been a lifelong dream.

“We were both working in corporate jobs but dreamed of starting a business.

One day, we made brownies for a party, and people loved them so much it planted a seed for a business opportunity,”

Some of the “Peace Dove” ornaments that were sold over the holidays at Whistle Stop Clay Works in Loveland, Ohio that benefi ted CTRH. PROVIDED

Spitz says. “We love coming up with new fl avors. Our Eggnog Cream Cheese was insanely popular during the holidays, so now we have created an Irish Cream Cheese brownie, which is fl ying off the shelves. And, our customers were asking for vegan options. So, after many attempts, we have perfected a vegan brownie.”

Through Friday, Feb. 7, customers can enter for a chance to win 365 Buckabee Brownies at the Blue Ash store, l756 Cornell Road. The winner will be announced on Monday, Feb. 12.

The shop, which opened in Feb. 7, 2019, and awarded New Business of the Year by Montgomery Chamber of Commerce, off ers 24 permanent and seasonal fl avors made from original recipes tested hundreds of times.

“Miriam and I received a warm and enthusiastic welcome when we opened our doors last February, and we love being part of the Blue Ash community,” remarked Kahan. “People understand we are a family-run business – not part of a big franchise – and they support us wholeheartedly.”

Buckabee Brownies is open Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.at 4756 Cornell Road, Blue Ash. Learn more at BuckabeeBrownies.com or call 513-815-6641.

Cincinnati social security experts select NSSA Advisor of the Year The National Social Security Association in Cincinnati has selected Faye Sykes, NSSA and CEO of Scarlet Oak Financial Services in Atlanta, Ga., its National Social Security Advisor (NSSA) Advisor of the Year.

The award was announced by Marc Kiner of Blue Ash, board member of the National Social Security Association.

Kiner is also a partner at Premier Social Security Consulting of Cincinnati, which teaches the NSSA Social Security Advisor certifi cate program to professional advisors nationally.

“Faye is an NSSA advisor and Social Security expert dedicated to helping others,” said Kiner. “She not only helps her clients plan and invest to secure their fi nancial futures, she helps them maximize Social Security income. She also provides Social Security training and planning for CPAs and fi nancial advisors and educates the public at large on Social Security by speaking to civic and philanthropic groups. Last year she spoke to more than 90 organizations nationally.”

The NSSA program is the nation’s only accredited Social Security education certifi cate program.

Accreditation is provided by the Institute for Credentialing Excellence (ICE) in Washington, D.C. The NSSA Advisor certifi cate is awarded to professional advisors who take the NSSA course and pass an assessment.

More than 2,000 professional advisors have been certifi ed as National Social Security Advisors since the program began in 2013.

Owners Miriam Spitz and Tom Kahan celebrate the one-year anniversary of the opening of their store, Buckabee Brownies. PROVIDED

NSSA Advisor certifi cate training will be off ered in 10 cities across the nation in 2020.

Sykes owns and operates two businesses: Scarlet Oak Financial Services, a full-service fi duciary investment and fi nancial planning company; and Social Security Benefi t Planners, a Social Security fl at fee planning and consulting agency.

Claiming Social Security before Full Retirement Age means benefi ts are permanently reduced by 25 to 30 percent.

Workers who defer taking Social Security until the age of 70 can boost their monthly Social Security benefi t in many cases by thousands of dollars per year.

Sykes said a widow’s unfortunate situation spurred her interest in learning about Social Security in depth.

“The widow’s husband took Social Security early at age 62 and claimed his pension only over his lifetime, not hers,” said Sykes. “They had been married for about 40 years. She had been a stay-athome mom and didn’t have a signifi cant work record of her own.

“When he died eight months after retiring, she was fi nancially devastated.

Her income plummeted from $5,700 per month, which included his pension, Social Security, and a half-spousal benefi t, to $1,670 a month representing just his Social Security. Sadly, there was nothing I could do to help her. All the planning needed to be done on the front end.

In the end, she had to move in with one

of her children to survive.”

Whistle Stop Clay Works chooses a non-profi t to be the recipient of their holiday ornament sales each year. This year the studio chose Cincinnati Therapeutic Riding and Horsemanship in honor of Kimmy Strong, who frequents the studio.

“Kimmy has been coming to the studio for over two years. She loves to work with clay and paint pottery,” says Mari Brock, a studio instructor. “When Kimmy fi rst started coming here, she was in a wheel chair. But after she had been riding horses for a while, she began walking into the studio. She was beaming with pride. We were all so happy for her,” Brock continued.

It is a Whistle Stop Clay Works tradition to give away unglazed holiday ornaments at the Christmas in Loveland event held in December each year. This year they made 400 peace dove ornaments that were distributed free to local residents.

The studio also made “Peace Dove” ornaments that were hand painted by ceramic artists to raise money for CTHR. “When we saw the positive impact that equine therapy had on Kimmy and how it helped her independence and self esteem, it seemed only natural to raise funds in her honor to support CTHR,” said Bonnie McNett, studio manager.

The studio sold 145 ornaments which translates into $1450 for the non-profi t.

Cincinnati Therapeutic Riding and Horsemanship in Milford, improves lives of children and adults impacted by physical and developmental disabilities through equine therapies and activities.

They have standard-sized horses and miniature ponies that interact with people from the community. More information can be found at: www.ctrhequinetherapy.org.

Whistle Stop Clay Works is located at 119 Harrison Avenue in historic downtown Loveland. They have an art gallery and off er classes for adults and children, workshops, and studio rentals. More information can be found at: www.whis tlestopclayworks.com.
