rank Gilliland, a 96-year-old World War II veteran, is one of the Margret J. Thomas Inpatient Care Center’s most beloved patients. ❚ As is natural for family of older patients, new coronavirus pandemic restrictions caused his loved ones to wonder if he’s in the best place and in the best care. ❚ Hospice

of Cincinnati charge nurse Mandy Anoai-Schall asked his daughter to let him stay so

Following news on the overwhelming number of COVID-19 cases and their impact on New York hospitals from her home in Loveland, a former bedside nurse is worried for the wellbeing of health care workers in Greater Cincinnati.

“These nurses aren’t going to stop taking care of patients to take care of themselves,” she said.

Alicia Scheff er, 38, is a certifi ed nurse practitioner and currently works as a hospitalist for Sound Physicians.

Scheff er started a GoFundMe on March 23 – gofundme.com/f/feed-the-frontlines – hoping the community would come together to “take care of the only people equipped to take care of us.”

Scheff er believes Cincinnati is just about a week behind New York’s trend.

A state-by-state outlook posted by USA Today shows how the exponential growth of the new coronavirus poses potential risks for large outbreaks nationwide.

“States that have few reports of people with the virus but are following the curve of places like New York and Washington could soon fi nd themselves in a similarly dire situation without strong preventative measures,” the report states.

To prepare for what could be a crisis here in Ohio, Scheff er got to work in her neighborhood, providing snacks for nurses at local hospitals. She thought back to her nursing days.

“What were the things that we didn’t do? Well, we didn’t eat, we didn’t take bathroom breaks… what would be nice ways to kind of off set some of the chaos and maybe show some community support?” Scheff er said.

Scheff er got the fundraising idea from her friend and fellow healthcare professional Whitney Whitis, who started a COVID-19 Nursing Support See MEALS, Page 3A

they can keep him in bubble wrap and stocked with his favorite ice cream. She said they love taking care of him; he’s safe.

“She is so eloquent in calming families’ fears.

At a time of uncertainty to have someone who is so steady and so calm, it’s invaluable,” Chief Marketing Offi cer Janet Montgomery said.

Responding to upset and concerned family members is now part of the job description for Anoi-Schall as hospice has enforced visitation restrictions due to concerns surrounding the novel coronavirus. On March 21, a new policy permitted just one family member to visit patients who were actively dying. If a patient was stable, no visitors were permitted.

Anoai-Schall’s credits her parents with consistently modeling empathy she’s put to use throughout her medical career.

“The way that I react is going to cause that phone call to go two ways: It’s either going to leave a very negative impact on them for the rest of their life or I can help lessen the load of worry on their shoulders,” Anoai-Schall said. “There were defi nitely some upsetting phone calls, but they turned into appreciation and understanding. That was fulfi lling for me.”

Being the voice of reason comes naturally to Anoai-Schall. With her tranquil tone and encouraging demeanor, she’s able to ease the burden from distressed families by putting herself

in their shoes.

“I would want someone to just slow down and give me the time to explain why these things were being done and that they weren’t being done to hurt or take anything away from anyone,” she said. “I’ve always been able to imagine someone else’s feelings.”

In response to the visitation restrictions, Anoai-Schall helped arrange several window visits for patients. Gilliland had fi ve loved ones pay a visit from outside of his bedroom window.

“They (window visits) were the most precious thing,” Anoai-Schall said. “I left work feeling like I did make a diff erence.”

Outside of being the voice of reason over the phone, Anoai-Schall has become one of the staff ’s leaders as it adjusts to the constant protocol and policy changes.

Staff members must go to screening stations before going into work, or go out of their way to visit one before going into a patient’s home.

Some team members going to long-term care facilities are a patient’s only visitor on a daily basis.

A note to readers In keeping with best practices that have been put in place across the newspaper industry, the Community Press is phasing out its youth carrier program and replacing it with an adult delivery force.

This decision was not made lightly. The tradition of “paper boys” and “paper girls” delivering the newspaper is a nostalgic part of our history. But in the interest of youth safety, we believe it’s the right thing to do.

The change will take eff ect with May editions. In the meantime, please continue doing business with your youth carrier and thank them for their dedication and service. We also thank them for bringing you the Community Press each week and being a vital part of our team.

Mother, daughter deliver more than 90 drawings to Madeira nursing home Segann March Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Where it all began For several years, Kelly and Capri have walked by the facility and greeted individuals sitting outside.

They became friends with resident Esteban Gonzalez and frequently visited him to chat.

A few weeks ago, Capri and Larbes decided to draw Esteban a picture.

After completing Esteban’s drawing, Capri wanted to do the same for all of his friends. There are roughly 87 residents at the Madeira Village Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.

“She did over 50 of them,” Larbes said. “I contributed lots of fl owers and hearts to make sure we got to 90. We wrote a letter and (staff ) photocopied it so all

residents could have one. Capri also got to sing her favorite school song, Spring is Coming, outside of Esteban’s window.”

Also included in the delivery was a letter to staff members thanking them for taking care of the residents’ emotional and physical needs.

Thies said the drawings had to be quarantined for 24-hours before distributing them to residents.

“It’s a tough time right now,” she said. “Anything the residents get is a glimmer of hope for them at this point. They can’t get out, they can’t have visitors, so those pictures put a little sparkle in their eyes and gave them something to look forward to.”

The Larbes’ hope other families across the Tristate will reach out to vulnerable communities and group homes to help lift their spirits.

on extra roles as hospice has cut down on its number of volunteers.

There have also been slight, but strict, alterations in what PPE (personal protective equipment) is appropriate.

Through all the disarray and uncertainty, AnoaiSchall is a soothing presence.

“They depend on her calmness and her maturity.

She (Anoai-Schall) has the maturity to make others feel calm and she’s a really beautiful person inside and out,” Montgomery said. “That level of leadership in a time of crisis is invaluable.”

The appreciation goes both ways. Anoai-Schall applauds her coworkers’ eff orts to go the extra mile.

“I have seen the staff answering each other’s call lights. The STNAs are running to other rooms they haven’t been assigned to. Everyone’s working together to pick up where these other things are obviously affected,” Anoai-Schall said. “Everyone’s taking on more than they typically do. It takes true teamwork to get through that.

Drivers needed to deliver Community Press once a week Part-time adult motor drivers are needed to deliver the Press and Recorder newspapers. Drivers must be available on Wednesdays (Ohio) or Thursdays (Kentucky) and have a reliable vehicle.

where every hour could reveal another obstacle is something she doesn’t take lightly. It also reassures her that she made the right decision in pursuing this profession.

Her grandmother, Rita, was a World War II nurse for the wounded when they returned to Indiana. She and her two cousins (who are also nurses) mimicked Rita when they were little, setting up fake clinics and writing pretend order to give to doctors.

“You can tell when you are with her that she’s all-in and this is why she became a nurse,” Montgomery said.

While steadfast when faced with a dilemma, AnoaiSchall is bashful when praised. She doesn’t prefer the center stage but welcomes knowing she was a guiding light during a dire time.

“I’m not special; I just have the job of being seen,” she said. “It feels amazing that somebody notices my heart and passion, but it’s more fulfi lling to hear when you’re making a diff erence and there’s positive outcomes for patients and families.

“This is what we’re supposed to do and I honestly can’t imagine doing anything else.”

Residents at Madeira Village Nursing and Rehabilitation Center recently got a surprise when Kelly Larbes and her fi ve-year-old daughter Capri delivered colorful drawings to their front door.

During a three day period, the mother-daughter duo created more than 90 drawings to put a smile on residents’ faces.

Larbes said people in residential and retirement homes are facing isolation, confusion and loneliness due to the coronavirus pandemic.

When asked why she drew all those pictures, Capri said she just wanted “to make people happy.”

Like many long-term care facilities, Madeira Village Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is taking steps to limit the exposure of the novel coronavirus by canceling visitation hours, group activities, and communal dining.

“We regularly take walks by there and sometimes stop in for visits, so we hope these drawings brought a little moment of joy while we couldn’t visit inside,” Larbes said.

Larbes said the pandemic is negatively impacting vulnerable and disabled populations in more ways than one. She said residents are overwhelmed by the sudden changes.

“It’s been an emotional rollercoaster and I keep thinking of those people,” she said.

Older adults and people with underlying medical conditions, including heart disease, lung disease, and diabetes, are at an increased risk for complications due to COVID-19, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Although the building is on lockdown and not accepting visitors, the staff is encouraging residents’ family members to stop by their windows to call or Facetime them, according to Kim Thies, the marketing and admissions director.

Roundabout coming to Madeira intersection Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Madeira hopes building a roundabout at an intersection that has been the site of some worrying traffi c crashes will make it safer.

The Ohio Department of Transportation has awarded the city $1.9 million to construct one of the circular junctions at East Galbraith Road and Miami Avenue, Madeira City Manager Tom Moeller said.

Roundabouts direct traffi c one-way around a central island, with motorists driving onto and off connected streets.

“The existing geometry of the intersection is poor, which creates sight distance issues with cross traffi c,” Moeller said.

“We have had several serious T-bone accidents caused by motorists trying to beat the traffi c signals or turning vehicles that do not see cross traffi c until it is too late.

“The roundabout will eliminate the

cross-traffi c confl icts and provide for safer travel through this location,” Moeller said.

Madeira will be responsible for 10 percent of the construction and engineering design costs of the roundabout.

What that will come to is uncertain now.

Mini-roundabout?

ODOT has suggested to the project’s engineering consultant that a miniroundabout might do well at the intersection of East Galbraith and Miami, Moeller said.

“That cost will be less, although it will need to be evaluated fi rst as to whether it can work in this location,” Moeller said.

A concern is whether a mini-roundabout would be large enough for trucks to navigate.

ODOT has scheduled the roundabout for construction in 2023, Moeller said.

Preliminary rendering of a roundabout planned for the intersection of East Galbraith Road and Miami Avenue in Madeira. PROVIDED

Was your water bill too high in Norwood?

YOUR HEALTH with Dr. Owens

Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, Norwood asked its citizens to read their own water meters for the latest billing cycling. Those who didn’t do it right or didn’t return the paperwork in time could be seeing higher “estimated” bills.

Norwood Mayor Victor Schneider said residents shouldn’t panic.

“If you think there is really a major change to your water bill, you should contact the water department,” Schneider said. That number is 513458-4518.

Schneider said that the people who would normally read the water meters are not entering people’s homes at this time, practicing social distancing to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Blue cards were sent out to residents.

Some were not returned, and bills for those customers were estimated.

If residents received a bill they believe was far too high, they should just pay what the amount they normally pay.

Meals Continued from Page 1A

GoFundMe. That campaign raised more than $8,000 in two days. Local restaurant owner Zach Weprin from Fusian donated gift cards towards the cause, according to the site.

The top priority for now is to get meals to the hospital workers, Scheff er told The Enquirer on March 25. She has been in communication with Whitis on the project.

Eventually, the money may go towards housing for nurses and other hospital employees who don’t want to risk the potential of bringing the new virus home to their families. Scheff er said she has reached out to local hotels and

“As long as you pay some portion of it, it will work out,” the mayor said. But not paying the bill at all could cause problems, he explained.

“It will all even out,” Schneider said.

The mayor said other cities have the ability to read water meters remotely without entering homes. He said he hopes in the next few years Norwood can add that service.

Airbnbs with no response.

Scheff er’s campaign is still in its infancy stage, she said.

“It went from feeding, to maybe housing, to who knows what the demand is? But maybe off ering the public an opportunity to help where they feel like there’s nothing they can do,” Scheff er said.

Other community groups have started sewing masks at home to donate to the cause.

You can donate to help feed (and potentially house) local healthcare employees on the GoFundMe site. Scheff er is also looking for support and donations from local businesses.

Celebrate Easter with coff ee cake, deviled eggs A cinnamon coffee cake is a perfect treat for Easter.

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD

As I write this column, we are still sheltering in place. And thinking about Easter. Maybe you are, too. Instead of our annual Easter brunch and egg hunt, we’ll be celebrating on a smaller scale.

Yet there’s still much to feel blessed about. Just take a walk outside. Check out the beautiful wild violets and blooming forsythia (they both make lovely jellies). Trees are bursting with buds and blooms.

Reconnect. You know, friends and family are still there, and now’s the time for catch up.

I worked several hours in my herb garden and was happy to see my mom’s heirloom peppermint pushing through the soil. Mother Nature is doing her part and we will do ours.

How about baking a coff ee cake?

While you’re boiling eggs to color, boil extra. Add deviled eggs to your Easter menu. Both recipes use easy to fi nd ingredients.

Coffee cake with pecan cinnamon streusel America’s Test Kitchen always comes up with genius ideas, like adding a little water to streusel topping and sprinkling it on the edges fi rst to make it adhere better.

1 teaspoon cinnamon

This uses the food processor for both cake and topping. It’s baked in a 9” springform pan and freezes well. Here’s my slight adaptation from their recipe.

1 2⁄ 3 cups flour

INGREDIENTS

Deviled eggs add a festive touch to any occasion.

Simple deviled eggs No real recipe, but for every 6 eggs, mix yolks with 1⁄ 4 cup mayonnaise and a squirt of mustard. Add more mayonnaise if necessary. Season to taste.

Streusel 1 cup pecans or other nuts, toasted (if you’re out, omit and then when cake cools, drizzle a powdered sugar glaze over streusel) ⁄ 3 cup packed brown sugar

1

⁄ 2cup flour

1

4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled 1 teaspoon water Cake 1 cup sugar 1 1⁄ 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking powder ⁄ 2 teaspoon baking soda

1

⁄ 2 teaspoon salt

1

1 stick butter, cut into 8 pieces and softened ⁄ 4 cup milk

3

1 large egg plus 1 large yolk 2 teaspoons vanilla INSTRUCTIONS Preheat oven to 350.

Grease and flour 9” springform pan and place on baking sheet.

Streusel Process nuts and sugar in food processor until fi nely ground. Add flour and cinnamon and pulse to combine. Add melted butter and water and pulse until mixture begins to form clumps.

Remove and set aside.

Cake Process flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, soda and salt until combined.

Add butter and pulse until very small but visible pieces of butter remain.

Add milk, egg, yolk and vanilla. Pulse until dry ingredients are moistened.

Scrape sides.

Pulse until mixture is well combined — some small pieces of butter will remain.

Pour into pan and smooth top.

Starting at edges of pan, sprinkle streusel evenly over batter.

Bake until center is fi rm and skewer inserted into it comes out clean, 45-50 minutes or so.

Place on wire rack, cool 15 minutes, then remove ring and cool completely.

Transfer cake to platter, cut into wedges and serve.

No springform pan?

Use a 9” cake pan and leave in pan to serve.

Little sign of Whole Foods ‘sick-out’ in Cincinnati Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A planned “sick-out” at Whole Food Markets in Cincinnati and elsewhere across the country didn’t pan out the way protesters intended, according to company offi cials.

A Twitter group known as Whole Worker, which claims to represent Whole Foods’ employees, urged grocery workers to call in sick Tuesday, March 31 to protest what they called inadequate compensation and protection in the face of the new coronavirus outbreak.

But there were few signs March 31 of the protest at Whole Foods stores in Kenwood and at Rookwood Commons in Norwood, where employees were busy stocking shelves and checking out customers as usual.

The WholeWorker group did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The company issued a statement blasting the group for attempting to “inaccurately portray the collective voice of our 95,000+ Team Members.”

Whole Foods is one of dozens of socalled essential businesses that have been allowed to operate while many others have been forced to shut down to help prevent the spread of the virus, which causes the deadly COVID-19 respiratory illness.

“So far today we have seen no operational impact and we continue to operate all of our stores without interrup-

tion,” Whole Foods said in a statement to The Enquirer. “There is no higher priority for us than taking care of our Team Members, which is why we have rolled out extensive measures to keep them safe at work, as well as an additional $2/ hour, increased overtime pay, and off er-

ing an additional two weeks of paid sick time for those in quarantine or who have tested positive for COVID-19.”

The Whole Worker group is demanding hazard pay on top of regular wages, the immediate closing of any location where workers test positive for CO-

VID-19 and full pay for aff ected workers until the store can safely be reopened, among other things, according to the group’s Twitter account.

Shortstop Barry Larkin celebrated the World Series championship in 1990, and played all 19 of his seasons for his hometown team. ENQUIRER FILE

Baseball afi cionado and Boston Red Sox star Andrew Benintendi’s high school coach Jack Kuzniczci spent some recent new coronavirus quarantine time considering who might be on an All-Cincinnati East vs. West Major League Baseball squad.

He posted his thoughts on Facebook and tons of comments soon followed.

Kuzniczci, a solid player in his own day for Anderson, the University of Cincinnati and in the Montreal Expos organization, has been the head coach at Clermont Northeastern, 1999 state champion Madeira and is currently at Walnut Hills.

“There’s still people commenting on it,” Kuzniczci said. “It was kind of fun. At fi rst, it was an All-Cincinnati team, then I made it East and West.”

“When I was growing up, I always heard the best baseball in Cincinnati was played on the West Side of town.

Being an East-Sider, that always drove

me crazy,” he said in the post. “So now we will have our All-East-Side team and All-West-Side team and then we can continue to disagree.”

The essential part of Kuzniczci’s criteria was that the players had to have played in Major League Baseball.

Here’s what they came up with:

West Side Catcher: Kyle Schwarber, Middletown - From high school, Schwarber played at Indiana where he was drafted by the Chicago Cubs. Last season was his best with 38 home runs, 92 runs batted in and a .250 average. Is Middletown west? Well, who else do you have?

First baseman: Jim Tracy, Badin Again, perhaps a bit north. Tracy might be better known as a manager having led the Dodgers, Pirates and Rockies. He was National League Manager of the Year with Colorado in 2009. Tracy was a Division III All-American at Marietta See ALL STARS, Page 2B

In Jack Kuzniczci’s hypothetical All-Cincinnati team, Pete Rose would play left fi eld on the West side squad.

Enquirer’s greatest all-time prep volleyball teams Mark Schmetzer

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

In the spirit of the recent “Jeopardy” Greatest Of All Time prime-time, multinight tournament featuring the popular game show’s top three all-time winners, the Enquirer and Cincinnati.com are embarking on a GOAT series of their own.

We are endeavoring to identify the best of Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky’s best – the all-time top 10 state championship teams from our little corner of the world.

We’re leading off with volleyball. We, of course, plan to check out other sports – football, boys and girls basketball, baseball, at least. Unfortunately, some sports haven’t reached the magic num-

ber of state championship teams, but we’ll have enough to keep us busy for a while.

Our top 10 state championship volleyball teams, starting with:

No. 10 – 1984 Notre Dame Academy Six teams qualifi ed for the Kentucky High School Athletic Association state tournament. They were split into two three-team pools. Highlands and Mercy qualifi ed out of Pool One. All three Pool Two teams fi nished 1-1, but Notre Dame drew a bye in the playoff and then knocked off survivor to earn the higher fi nal four seed. Led by all-tournament team members Stacey Broering and SaSee VOLLEYBALL, Page 2B

The 2009 Ursuline Academy state championship team includes: Christina Beer, Abby Engdahl, Jamie Goldschmidt, Jade Henderson, Nikki Hill, Olivia Johnson, Annie Juenger, Noelle Langenkamp, Elena Lohr, Lauren Marlatt, Annie Morgan, Kori Moster, Anna Prickel, Abby Recker, Dani Reinert and Rachel Weisenburger, managers Lindsay Gray and Megan Wandtke, head coach Jeni Case and assistant coach Kelly Byrne Wendling.

rah Dickman, the Joan Mazzarocoached Pandas blew through the semifi nals and fi nals, knocking off Highlands, 15-2, 15-3, in one semifi nal and Mercy, 15-6, 15-11 in the championship match.

No. 9 – 2017 Ursuline Academy The Lions went into the state tournament ranked No. 1 in the statewide volleyball coaches association Division I coaches poll, but they needed the maximum fi ve games to get past No. 4 Dublin Coff man before romping to a threegame win over sixth-ranked Cleveland St. Joseph Academy at Wright State University’s Ervin J. Nutter Center. Senior Ali Thompson and sophomore Logan Case were named fi rst-team all-state.

Maggie Huber earned second-team honors while helping Ursuline fi nish 28-1.

No. 8 – 2001 Roger Bacon The Spartans shook off back-to-back Division II runner-up fi nishes to fi nally knock off two-time defending-champion Galion 15-8, 15-5 in the championship match at Wright State. Coached by Caryl Schawe, Roger Bacon fi nished 29-1 after walloping Millersburg West Holmes 15-9, 15-5, in the semifi nals, never trailing in the fi rst game in the fi rst game of the championship match and trailing just 2-0 in the second game.

Setter Emily Withers played a key role in setting up front-liner Mary Brunner and Brittany Holden.

No. 7 – 2009 Ursuline Academy The Lions, who were undefeated the previous season before losing the Division I state championship match, dropped just one game in the best-offi ve Division I championship match before completing a 29-0 season with a 25-16, 25-19, 18-25, 25-17 win over Dublin Coff man at Wright State.

No. 6 – 2005 Roger Bacon Led by a talented and deep front line, the Spartans lost just eight games during a 29-0 season they completed with a 25-14, 25-15, 25-14 Division II state semifi nal win over River View and a 25-12, 24-26, 25-21, 25-16 championshipmatch win over Walsh Jesuit. Two seniors, middle hitter Heather Hausfeld and setter Katie Veatch, were named fi rst-team all-state. Classmate Jaime Frey made the third team.

No. 5 – 1980 Villa Madonna Then nicknamed the Blue Lightning, Carla Austin-coached Villa Madonna may have set the local single-season record for match wins with 39 on the way to winning the all-inclusive Kentucky state championship. One of the team’s two losses was to a Mother of Mercy team that would win the Ohio Class AAA (big school) state championship. Four players – Lori Erpenbeck, Fredda Simpson, Lisa Warman and Stephanie Scheper – went on to play Division I volleyball after rolling over Our Lady of Providence, 15-4, 15-1, in the state championship match.

No. 4 – 1996 Seton After playing on three of the fi rst four Saints’ state-championship teams, Sue Fishburn coached this edition to a 29-0 record, culminating in a 15-8, 15-7 win over Wooster in the Division I state

All stars

No. 3 – 2003 St. Ursula The Bulldogs went 29-0 on the way to winning the Division I state championship and being named the nation’s No 1 team by PrepVolleyball.com. Coach Julie Perry’s squad also topped the coaches’ Division I statewide poll ahead of No. 3 Ursuline and fourth-ranked Mount Notre Dame. Led by fi rst-team all-staters Beth Gillming and Bryn Kehoe and second-team pick Beth Shelton, St. Ursula got past second-ranked Toledo St. Ursula, 15-10, 12-15, 15-12 in the semifi nals before rolling over Ursuline, 15-10, 15-7, in the championship match. This was the third straight year the Bulldogs and Lions met in the fi nal.

No. 2 – 1985 Seton Coached by Mary Jett, the Saints lost just two games all year while going 30-0. They swept the Class AAA regional in four games and kept the momentum alive at the state tournament, beating 21-1 Lexington, 15-4, 15-2, in the semifi nals and 27-2 Canton McKinley, 15-4, 15-4 in the fi nal.

First-team all-stater Barb Mannix led a powerful front line that included ju-

Hills, who managed the Royals to the ALCS and the Cubs to the NLCS. He went on to be the Cubs general manager hiring West High teammate Don Zimmer.

and played parts of two seasons with the Cubs in 1980-81. He was primarily an outfi elder, but you could interchange him with outfi elders Rose and Parker on this list at fi rst base to fi eld a team.

Second baseman: Bill Doran, Mount Healthy - From the Owls to Miami University, Doran played second for the Houston Astros, the Reds and Brewers between 1982-1993. Doran hit 16 homers and drove in 79 runs hitting .283 for Houston in 1987. In 1990, he split time between the Astros and Reds and had a combined average of .300 (.373 with the Reds). He was part of the Reds World Series champions but unable to play in the postseason after he was acquired after the deadline.

Shortstop: Eddie Brinkman, Western Hills - From the Mustangs and UC, Brinkman played 15 seasons for the Washington Senators, Tigers, Cardinals, Rangers and Yankees. His brother Chuck Brinkman was a catcher who played in the bigs between 1969 and 1974 for the Pirates and White Sox should one geographically eliminate Kyle Schwarber. Eddie Brinkman was known more for his glove but had a high average of .266 in 1969 for Washington and slugged 14 homers for the Tigers in 1974.

Third baseman: Don Zimmer, Western Hills - “Popeye” was involved in professional baseball for 65 years as a player, manager and coach. He managed the Padres, Red Sox, Rangers and Cubs. He played in 12 seasons and played in the World Series for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1955 and 1959. He was a National League All-Star in 1961.

Left fi elder: Pete Rose, Western Hills - A easy choice for any Cincinnatian. Rose played from 1963 to 1986, primarily with the Reds but with a stint in Philadelphia and a brief split season with Montreal. Among his records are his 4,256 career hits. Rose was a 17-time All-Star, a National League MVP, World Series MVP, NL Rookie of the Year, three-time NL batting champion and two-time Gold Glove winner. He played on three World Series champions and holds MLB records in hits, singles, games played, at-bats and plate appear-

semifi nals and a 15-8, 15-6 win over Elyria in the fi nal, two weeks before her wedding. Led by juniors Sara Bachus and Betsy Owens, Seton won the last 21 points of the fi rst game and the fi rst 11 of the second during the championship match.

ances. He also managed the Reds from 1984 to 1989.

Center fi elder: Jimmy Wynn, Taft “The Toy Cannon” was 5-foot-9 and 160 pounds with enough pop to blast 291 home runs between the Houston Colt .45s/Astros, Dodgers, Braves, Yankees and Brewers over 15 seasons. He hit a career-high 37 home runs in 1967 while playing home games in the pitcherfriendly Astrodome.

Right fi elder: Dave Parker, Courter Tech - “The Cobra” played in the bigs between 1973 and 1991 for the Pirates, Reds, A’s, Brewers, Angels and Blue Jays. He was a seven-time All-Star, NL MVP, three-time Gold Glove winner, threetime Silver Slugger winner, two-time NL batting champion and won World Series titles with Pittsburgh and Oakland.

Pitcher: Claude Osteen, Reading Osteen pitched from 1957 through 1975 in the major leagues for the Reds, Senators, Dodgers, Astors, Cardinals and White Sox. He was a three-time All-Star.

Osteen won 20 games for the Dodgers in 1969 and again in 1972. Is Reading West or East? That’s one of the questions Kuzniczci fi elded.

Manager: Walter Alston, Darrtown, Milford Township High School - Alston managed the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers from 1954-1975 through a series of 23 one-year contracts. He won four World Series titles. Now Darrtown is near Oxford, so West or no? For those opposed, there’s Jim Frey of Western

Catcher: Jim Leyritz, Turpin - An 11year major league player with the Yankees, Angels, Rangers, Red Sox, Padres and Dodgers, Leyritz played on two World Series champions (both Yankees). He was considered one of baseball’s best postseason hitters. His highest average was .309 for the Yankees in 1993 and he hit a career-high 17 homers for the Bronx Bombers in 1994.

First baseman: Kevin Youkilis, Sycamore - From the University of Cincinnati, Youkilis took his unique batting stance to the Boston Red Sox fi rst. He later played for the White Sox and Yankees. He was a three-time All-Star, a Gold Glove winner and a two-time World Series champion with Boston winning in 2004 and 2007. Though Jewish, he was coined “The Greek God of Walks” in the book “Moneyball,” which later became a movie. His best season was 2008 when he hit .312 with 29 homers and 115 RBI for Boston.

Second baseman: Ron Oester, Withrow - Oester played from 1978 through 1990 all with the Cincinnati Reds wrapping up his career with a World Series title. Oester hit .299 in 69 games for the ‘90 series champions.

Withrow’s current high school fi eld is named after him.

Shortstop: Barry Larkin, Moeller A shoo-in choice as a Major League Baseball Hall of Famer who was the Reds shortstop from 1986 to 2004. Larkin was a 12-time All-Star, NL MVP, three-time Gold Glove winner, nine-time Silver Slugger winner and inducted into Cooperstown in 2012. His .319 average in his MVP year of 1995 was his best. The following year he had career-highs in home runs and RBI with 33 and 89, respectively.

Third baseman: Buddy Bell, Moeller - He used to be known as the son of former Red Gus Bell, but now may be known more as the father of Reds manager David Bell. From 1972 -1999 Bell played for the Indians, Rangers, Reds and Astros. He was a fi ve-time All-Star,

nior Ann Fishburn and sophomore Janet Haneberg. The Saints needed just 12 minutes to win the fi nal game.

No. 1 – 1986 Seton The name was changed, but the result was the same. Coached by the nowMary Ritter and led by veterans such as Haneberg and Ann Fishburn, the Saints rolled to their third straight Class AAA state championship with a convincing 15-7, 15-9 win over Broadview Heights Brecksville in the Class AAA state semifi nals and a slightly narrower 15-10, 15-11 win over Stow in the championship match. Seton prevailed despite having a well-defi ned target on its back.

“This one feels better than last year,” Ritter said. “This year, we had to work up here. It was harder up here this year.

Volleyball was better here today. You can tell the girls each year have had a little bit more experience.”

“I guess I was born at the right time and the right place to be here and to do it,” senior Julie Royer said. “There is a lot of pressure. Everybody is up for you, and everybody is out to beat you, and that means you have to come out and play very well every time.”

six-time Gold Glove winner, a Silver Slugger winner and also managed the Tigers, Rockies and Royals. Bell hit .329 for the Rangers in 1980 and belted a career-high 20 homers for the Reds in 1986.

Left fi elder: Andrew Benintendi After signing with Arkansas out of Madeira, where he won the Golden Spikes Award and Dick Howser Award as college baseball’s best player in 2015, he was drafted in the fi rst round by Boston.

Right fi elder: Darryl Boston, Woodward - Boston played for the White Sox, Mets, Rockies and Yankees between 1984-1994. Boston hit .275 for the Mets in 1991 and had a career-best 15 homers for the White Sox in 1988.

Pitcher: Richard Doston, Anderson - Dotson was drafted by the Angels out of high school but then was part of a sixplayer trade that sent himself and Bobby Bonds to the White Sox.

Manager: Miller Huggins, Walnut Hills, Woodward - Huggins is another Baseball Hall of Fame member who managed the Cardinals and Yankees.

SCHOOL NEWS SUA students and teachers work to master distance learning March 30, 2020– Saint Ursula Academy is moving full steam ahead with its school year, getting creative to overcome the academic challenges presented by the COVID-19 crisis.

Saint Ursula’s advanced One-to-One Laptop Program left the school well-positioned to transition quickly and seamlessly to Distance Learning. Here are some key reasons: ❚ The structure was already in place to move forward quickly. ❚ All students have the same type of device and the same programs and tech support. ❚ Our technology department is working to support the students and faculty/staff with any tech needs they may have, ensuring everyone can access lectures, discussions, creative tools, and can turn in work with no problems. ❚ Students and teachers already have a high level of comfort with their device and how to use it to participate in classes remotely. ❚ Saint Ursula’s block schedule means each student has just four classes during this time, making it easier for students to not get overwhelmed with too many remote lessons and check-ins. ❚ SUA teachers have embraced that challenge and are coming up with creative ways to teach their lessons. ❚ The students remotely “attend” two of their classes each day, and teachers have “offi ce hours” to off er support every day.

“Our leadership team, faculty, and staff all worked together to make it a smooth transition to Distance Learning and this has given Saint Ursula students an edge,” said Dr. Mari Thomas, Saint Ursula Academy principal. “While we are not together physically, SUA is holding live and recorded online classes and our oneto-one program has put us at the front of the pack on Distance Learning.”

Daily schedule – How it works Daily, there are recorded “announcements” and a daily opening prayer before class time. Then, the students “check in” to their fi rst class each day online.

Many SUA educators are teaching their classes live, and students are able to ask questions and talk to their classmates about the material during the lesson.

Teachers are also available after class time for students to get help through a virtual “face-to-face” meeting.

Ensuring every student can connect SUA worked to secure dependable wi-fi for every student who did not already have a good connection with the help of Spectrum Free Student Wi-Fi and digital hotspots.

Creative educators Our teachers have stepped up to the challenge to keep their lessons engaging and learning moving forward, despite the challenges of not being on campus.

nings, actually superimposed the girls’ faces over a photo of the Saint Ursula Chapel, where their choir class would normally meet. We are so proud to be part of a community that is creatively working to give the students the best academic experience possible during this time.

Campus safety As always, safety for our school community is a top priority. While the SUA campus is closed by the Governor’s Stay at Home order, the SUA Maintenance staff is

still working on campus as essential workers and disinfecting the buildings daily. Saint Ursula Academy will be ready when the Governor indicates we can return to campus and the students will be on track with their 4th quarter learning.

Saint Ursula Academy is a Catholic, college-preparatory, secondary school for young women known for academic excellence and rich tradition. Saint Ursula welcomes students from more than 90 grade schools in the Greater Cincinnati area. The Academy is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School. The campus, located at 1339 E. McMillan Street in East Walnut Hills has been the home of Saint Ursula Academy and Convent since 1910. The Class of 2019 earned college scholarships totaling more than $25-million.

Looking for ways to help amid the COVID-19 pandemic? Here’s how. don’t have the inventory to keep up with the growing demand.

Frank Adams, the executive director, said after computers are donated, his staff will securely erase all data, refurbish the laptop, install Microsoft Offi ce software and sell them to families starting at $150.

Buyers will also receive antivirus and a 1-year guarantee.

“It’s heartbreaking to know these kids are struggling and we don’t have the computers to help them,” Adams said in a press release. “It’s been exhausting. We’re working as hard as we can.”

Donations from businesses are only being accepted at this time due to health concerns. All laptops must be gently

Segann March Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The novel coronavirus pandemic has caused thousands of students across Cincinnati to study from home, yet many don’t have access to technology to complete their school work.

The Cincinnati Computer Cooperative, a local nonprofi t, is asking all businesses to donate outdated laptops so they can continue giving students lowcost computers to help with the virtual classrooms during the mandated school closures.

In the fi rst half of March, Cincinnati Computer Cooperative sold roughly 240 computers at non-profi t pricing. Now supplies are becoming scarce and they

used.

“This is a crisis situation for many in the Tristate,” Adams said. “We hope local businesses will step up and donate now so that we can keep helping par-

ents and schoolchildren during this challenging time.”
