‘He’s seen people dying’ Finneytown man lives in a prison full of disease — and death

Ebony Pickens wasn’t surprised to hear about COVID-19 ravaging prisons.

She has heard it fi rst-hand from her son.

A convicted jewelry thief serving time at a federal prison near Youngstown, he told his suburban Cincinnati mother how the coronavirus has taken over there. He and other inmates, Pickens told The Enquirer, have had to fi ght it on their own.

“It’s a madhouse in there,” Pickens said. “He has faith in God, but mentally he’s traumatized. He’s seen people dying.”

Pickens’ son, 26-year-old Dmil Polley, is one of about 2,400 inmates at Federal Correctional Institution Elkton, where earlier this month Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine sent the National Guard to assist medical staff in the prison’s infi rmary.

As of Wednesday, April 22, the federal Bureau of Prisons said 52 inmates had tested positive for the coronavirus and six have died – the second most of any federal prison in the country. The prison has accounted for more than half the deaths in Columbiana County.

Attorneys representing inmates in a lawsuit say that makes it “one of the deadliest places a person can live in the current pandemic.”

An additional 207 inmates, including Polley, were considered suspected cases on April 17 . At least 46 staff members have tested positive, according to prison offi cials. But the full extent of the outbreak is unknown because only a small percentage of inmates at FCI Elkton have been tested.

Polley said he never was.

Troy Parker has a real offi ce in Saint Bernard, but when he refers to his old Clifton and downtown offi ces, he’s talking about the public libraries there.

Parker lived in a halfway house when he got out of prison in 2015. He had been in prison for seven years, convicted of bank fraud, and didn’t know how to type very well. He didn’t have a computer and couldn’t attach documents to emails. He had never used a scanner for that before.

This year, his last payroll included 60 employees.

Parker is a small business owner who made something of himself after prison. He’s a guy who says he gives third and fourth chances to people like him. He’s doing what prison reformers dream those who are paroled would do.

But he isn’t eligible for help now.

On March 31, federal offi cials announced legislation to help small businesses. The Paycheck Protection Program provides loans that would be fully forgiven if the funds are used to keep employees on the payroll.

That money dried up on Thursday, April 16, offi cials said, and Congress is scrambling to fi x it. But even if something else is done, it won’t help Parker.

For students without home internet, one district’s school bus delivers access to learning Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer

Poking methodically at the keys with her left index fi nger, Yeseny Galisia typed the WiFi password: “goprinceton.”

Earlier, she and her younger brother, Kevin, tried to do homework, but their home WiFi wasn’t working properly.

Kevin couldn’t access his second grade assignments, which have been so hard lately they feel more like third grade work to the 7-year-old.

Luckily, Yeseny and Kevin had a backup option. Princeton City Schools had just started a program to tour the area in a school bus equipped with a WiFi hotspot. The bus stops in school parking lots, apartment complexes and near other homes, allowing families to connect for free.

At her own home, Yeseny, 9, couldn’t access i-Ready, an online learning platform that she’s used during the pandemic to learn about equivalent fractions and other math principles.

“I get too distressed about it,” she said of the curriculum. But learning online, no matter how challenging, is better than being locked out.

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 effect with June 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. Future editions of your newspaper will include a pre-addressed envelope for mailing your subscription payment.

Prison Continued from Page 1A

A federal judge on Wednesday, April 22 ordered prison offi cials to evaluate all medically vulnerable inmates and determine whether they could be paroled, transferred to another facility or given compassionate release. The ACLU of Ohio had fi led a lawsuit seeking help for those inmates.

When this article was originally published, attorneys for the prison said in court documents that staff had only tested 37 inmates – less than 2 percent of the population. Other inmates were tested by nearby hospitals, where at one point 32 inmates and several staff members were being treated. Some were on ventilators.

That level of testing pales in comparison to the mass testing conducted at the state prison in Marion, which is 50 miles north of Columbus. One guard there has died.

Mass testing has shown 80 percent of Marion’s inmates, 2,011 people, have the coronavirus, and two have died. At the Pickaway Correctional Institution, more than 1,500 inmates tested positive. Eight have died.

Data provided by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction shows that those two facilities, by far, have the most positive tests. The state has 28 prisons.

Powder kegs for infectious disease Prisons are powder kegs for any infectious disease, experts say. Both inmates and staff face the threat of illness and death, beyond what the general public does. Ventilation is limited. Inmates share the same showers, bathrooms and eating spaces.

Eric Bellamy, a 52-year-old inmate at Elkton, said in a statement fi led with the lawsuit: “In any given moment, I’m no more than 1-2 feet away from someone else, and there’s no way to keep more of a distance… I’m bumping up against people.”

“The 150 or so people in my unit share 6 toilets and 12 showers, and you’re right up against people the whole time,” Bellamy wrote. “2 stalls in the bathroom are broken.”

In another statement, 49-year-old Arsenio Arzola said he “had to serve as caretaker or fi rst-responder” for his cellmate, a man in his late-60s who Arzola said “got very sick.”

Arzola said his cellmate “went to medical three times in one week” but repeatedly returned to the cell. The man, Arzola said, was “coughing, sneezing, moaning and defacating on himself.”

Arzola said he dressed, fed and moved him.

“I’m not an EMT,” he said. “Just a human being.”

Elkton, a low-security prison with dorm-style housing, is overcrowded and “a public health disaster,” said Holly

In a statement, 49-year-old Arsenio Arzola said he “had to serve as caretaker or fi rst-responder” for his cellmate, a man in his late-60s who Arzola said “got very sick.”

Harris, executive director of the Justice Action Network, a national organization involved in prison reform.

“They are recklessly disregarding human life,” said Harris, who is former general counsel to the Republican Party of Kentucky. “The outrage is bipartisan in nature.”

Polley, a Finneytown native, lives in a unit with about 180 other men, according to his mother. They sleep in a room fi lled with bunk beds that are maybe three feet apart, she said. The sound of coughing can be heard throughout the night.

“We wear our mask(s) but (it is) impossible to keep social distance from each other in an open dorm,” Polley said in an email from the prison.

Polley was never tested but said he has been recovering from what he believes is COVID-19 without any medications, not even aspirin. Polley said some inmates were quarantined, but he and others in his unit “fought the virus off ourselves.”

Polley’s illness included a fever that lasted a week and extreme sinus congestion. Then, he lost his sense of smell and taste – a signature of the disease – which he said has only partly returned recently.

Pickens said the process for her son

to see a doctor involved writing a request and then waiting for a response, which she said never came. Pickens said they didn’t have the medical staff to handle the volume of requests.

Polley is serving consecutive sentences for robberies at jewelry stores in Pennsylvania and Indiana, and is due to be released in 2022.

‘Alleviating pressure’ on hospitals The Bureau of Prisons declined to answer specifi c questions about conditions inside the prison, but a spokesman provided an extensive description of the assistance provided by the National Guard as well as the Army Corp of Engineers. The spokesman, Emery Nelson, said those responding included physicians, blood-collection experts and radiology technicians.

“This has enabled us to decrease the number of inmates requiring transport to the local hospital, thus alleviating pressure on the local hospital’s available bed space,” Nelson said in an email.

Elkton’s most recent inmate death happened April 16. William Hutsell, who

was serving a 19-year sentence for distributing child pornography, initially reported having diffi culty breathing and a fever, offi cials said in a news release. His condition was severe enough that he was taken to a local hospital, where he died.

Of the six inmates who have died, two were in their 70s, and two, including Hutsell, were in their 60s. All six had “long-term pre-existing medical conditions,” according to the Bureau of Prisons.

In his ruling on Aprill 22, U.S. District Judge James Gwin said the prison has implemented measures to lessen the COVID-19 threat, including segregating new inmates for 14 days and evaluating existing inmates with symptoms to determine if isolation or testing is appropriate.

“But despite their eff orts, the Elkton offi cials fi ght a losing battle,” Gwin said.

“A losing battle for staff . A losing battle for inmates.”

Younger Princeton students are more likely to lack home internet access, said Superintendent Tom Burton. An estimated one in four elementary students, about 600 children, don’t have a reliable home connection.

But the bus, which the district purchased in 2017 via a literacy grant, has helped fi ll the gap. And more and more Princeton students are logging on for virtual learning. In the fi rst week of the statewide school closure, just one in fi ve elementary students worked on math in i-Ready. Four weeks later, more than half had done so.

On TuesdayApril 14, the fi rst day of the school bus WiFi program, several families drove or walked to Heritage Hill Elementary, where the colorful bus parked for about 90 minutes, beaming WiFi in an approximately 150-foot radius.

D’Kira, a fourth-grader, logged on from the passenger seat of her mother’s SUV. She accessed a Google Doc and studied the math problem on her screen, her latex gloves sliding across the keys as she converted kilograms to grams.

Her fi fth grade brother, Domineek, peeked in from the back seat before tapping a button to brighten his sister’s screen against the morning glare.

“We don’t have access to WiFi at home right now. This is kind of our only option at this point,” said their mother, Angel Hammonds, from the

driver’s seat. Hammonds does have a hotspot through her phone, but the family’s data plan doesn’t cover all that’s needed for schoolwork.

Burton said student access isn’t as simple as whether they have WiFi or not. Many students and their families may have limited phone data, so they’re able to complete some of their work before exhausting their ability to connect.

Others have home WiFi, but it may be spotty.

Though families can also access WiFi from several school parking lots, the bus program is particularly important for those families who may face transportation barriers.

To further strengthen the community’s access, Princeton offi cials have also delivered about 180 WiFi devices, for individual or communal use, at a cost of about $60,000.

The devices have gone to individual families but also to shared spaces at apartment complexes or mobile home parks.

“The cost of not delivering these devices – the loss of education, equity and connectivity – is simply not quantifi able,” said Tricia Roddy, a Princeton spokesperson.

The portable hotspot on the bus, a Kajeet Smart Spot, cost about $1,000, plus $85 per month in data, according to school offi cials.

The outreach eff orts may be contributing to higher percentages of student engagement.

Princeton offi cials have made contact with more than 90% of elementary students and 97% of students with disabilities since schools closed.

access receive paper packets, which have the same assignments as those found on virtual platforms, said Heritage Hill Principal Shari Hoskins.

But some students prefer virtual learning.

On Tuesday, April 14, the bus left Heritage Hill around noon and drove to an apartment complex neighboring the school.

Yeseny and Kevin, the siblings, glanced be-

tween their laptops and a laminated page with login information for the mobile hotspot.

A masked Chris Lockhart, the district’s director of technology, held up the page as the students typed.

After several minutes more than usual, the students connected. Two words spoken by Lockhart prompted a wide grin from Yeseny.

Payroll Continued from Page 1A

Parker is a convicted felon, and he is still on probation from his prison sentence. He says when he tried to apply for the new coronavirus relief, the application asked about recent felony convictions. And question No. 5 was about probation.

“They say it’s for everyone, but it’s really not,” Parker said of the relief funds. “Now, my employees are being punished for a mistake I made.”

And not considered when he corrected it.

Before his release from prison in 2015, Parker’s brother sent him a red book bag.

The bag contained boots, multiple pairs of underwear and clothes for his re-entry. It confused Parker a bit, because he had gotten used to wearing the same thing every day.

He was free now.

Using that book bag as a briefcase, and the library as his offi ce, Parker began building a labor and cleaning services company. With the help of library assistants, he created a Gmail account, and he started passing out business cards in Over-the-Rhine.

It took him two weeks to get his fi rst contract.

In the fourth quarter last year, Parker said he employed about 120 people.

Most of those employees spent time in prison or have struggled with some type of addiction or mental health issue.

“We’re not a second-chance company,” Parker said. “We’re more like a thirdor fourth-chance company.”

Cash fl ow has always been an issue.

And that means he takes jobs that pay right away because he won’t be able to pay his employees if the money takes a month to come in. As the coronavirus threatens the future of businesses across the country, Parker is not exempt.

And in some ways, he is being punished again.

It’s why, on most days, he wakes up at 4 a.m. After a period of meditation, something Parker started doing in prison to drown out the constant noise, he spends the fi rst few hours of his day checking the company’s bank accounts and invoices.

Who has paid, and who still needs to?

How will he make payroll? What does he need to get to the bank?

Darlene Parker, Troy Parker, Patricia Chestnut and Brittany Getha, employees of Innovative Labor and Cleaning Services, Inc., photographed inside the company’s St. Bernard office on Wednesday. AMANDA ROSSMANN/THE ENQUIRER

Parker does not have a line of credit he can simply move money from. He does not have a security blanket. And as the coronavirus pandemic continues to change life as we know it, Parker says job payments take longer to come in.

On Wednesday, April 15, Brittany Getha works as an offi ce manager at Innovative Labor and Cleaning Services, Parker’s company.

She has never been to prison, but struggled with addiction for about eight years. She says it started with prescription pills, and then she eventually began snorting fentanyl.

She’s been two years sober this January. This is not her fi rst job in recovery, but it’s the fi rst one that’s helped her really believe in herself.

“I can do something other than be a warm body on an assembly line,” she said.

Parker, now 56, grew up in Finneytown, where he was the youngest of eight kids. He started working when he was in grade school, going with his mom to empty trash and clean offi ces. It was the family business.

In high school, after football practice,

“They say it’s for everyone, but it’s really not. Now, my employees are being punished for a mistake I made.”

Troy Parker

President of Innovative Labor and Cleaning Services, speaking on the Paycheck Protection Program coronavirus relief.

he would drive himself to cleaning jobs and then home. His relationship with his fi rst wife, whom he met in college, fell apart when he went to prison in 2008. Parker lives in West Chester Township now with his second wife, Darlene.

He says it would feel like Christmas if he had the cash fl ow or credit to pay his employees the same time every Friday.

He can’t, and he probably won’t ever be able to.

He knows this is his fault. During his criminal trial, prosecutors said he lied to

banks to get money he should never have been approved for. Then, he lied some more to try to dig his way out.

Parker says he was addicted to material possessions, leasing multiple Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars before it all came crashing down.

Then, in prison, he saw young men scared to leave because they had been inside for 10 years. He saw the same young men incarcerated again a few years after their release. When he thought about his goals and plans for life after his own sentence, he began to think about how he could help these people.

Parker’s employment numbers ebb and fl ow throughout the year, with many jobs coming from construction projects. Normally, business would be picking up by now.

It hasn’t. And Parker doesn’t know when it will.

But here’s what he does know: He still has that red book bag. The one he used as a briefcase when no one else believed in him.

He fi nds himself thinking about that bag a lot these days.

Police: Teens taunted offi cers, thought they’d get a coronavirus pass.

They were wrong Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Three teens honked at and taunted Mount Health Police Offi cers early Thursday before leading the offi cers on a chase and eventually crashing in a stolen car, offi cials said Chief Vincent Demasi said after the ordeal was over, the teens told offi cers they did not think the offi cers would try to arrest them due to the COVID–19 precautions.

The teens were wrong.

It started at the Hilltop Shopping Plaza on Hamilton Avenue just after 2 a.m. when offi cers were checking on businesses there.

“A vehicle entered the parking area and the driver sounded the horn on several occasions to gain the offi cers’ attention,” Demasi wrote in a Facebook post. “As the offi cers approached, the occupants of the vehicle were seen exiting the vehicle and run around their vehicle. They then re-entered the vehicle and sped off .”

The police gave chase and deter-

mined by the license plate number that the vehicle had been reported stolen in Cincinnati, offi cials said.

At Galbraith Road and Hamilton Avenue, the juvenile driver struck another vehicle and then crashed into a utility pole, police reported.

The teens tried to run from the vehicle, but fi ve other law enforcement agencies and K-9 units were on hand: Colerain Township, Springfi eld Township, North College Hill, Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Department and the Ohio Highway Patrol.

During the chase, two Mount Healthy Police Department vehicles were involved in a minor collision.

No offi cers were injured in the incident.

The juvenile passengers were treated and released from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center with minor injuries, police said.

The driver is charged with receiving stolen property, obstructing offi cial business, resisting arrest, violating the stay-at-home order and traffi c violations.

Three teens led Mount Healthy police on a chase before crashing into a pole Thursday, officials said. PROVIDED/MOUNT HEALTHY POLICE DEPARTMENT

One place there’s no worry about social distancing during these challenging times is when my friends, Charlene and Butch Castle and I go foraging for wild morel mushrooms. We start out at the bottom of our “secret” wooded hill.

We start out at the bottom of the hill.

By the time we reach the top of the hill we have kept our distances naturally – in fact, sometimes it’s hard to catch up. And we check for mushrooms along the way.

After a recent hunt, we left empty handed. “A little too early,” Butch said.

Charlene noted that the Mayapples and trillium were not yet blooming, another sign that we were a bit early.

That was last week. Today I got a note from friend and chef Chris H., who found

morels near his home. That means one thing: I need to fi nish this column so I can call my friends Char and Butch to let them know it’s time…

Well, all this talk about morels had me hungry for something, anything with mushrooms. The “something” turned out to be a really yummy pasta dish calling for a blend of wild mushrooms.

Nothing like that at my house (at least now) but I had some common, button mushrooms in the refrigerator. Just enough to lend an earthy, fl avorful taste

to this pasta. This recipe originally called for 12 ounces to a pound of pasta. All I had was half a pound. I also didn’t have many mushrooms, but it turned out really saucy and good.

❚ Morels grow in the spring. Expensive to buy, a prized wild edible. ❚ A true morel has a cone-shaped cap and sponge-like texture. The cap is ridged and pitted inwards. The cap will be connected to the stem all in one piece. ❚ It’s totally hollow inside from the tip of the cap to the bottom of the stem. It sort of looks like a “morel mold.” ❚ Make sure you have a positive identifi cation. For your fi rst ventures, tag along with an expert. ❚ Not sure? Don’t pick/use. (There is a non-edible morel). ❚ For information and a photo tutorial, check out my abouteating.com site.

While pasta is cooking, make sauce: Heat olive oil and add mushrooms, garlic and half the chicken broth.

Cook until mushrooms start to wilt, then add everything else but rest of broth, cheese and parsley.

After mushrooms are cooked, add rest of broth and cook until mixture thickens a little.

Stir in cream if you’re using it, cook a bit more, then adjust seasonings.

Pour over pasta, give it a good shower of cheese, and a sprinkle of parsley or greens.

Tips: No red pepper? Use whatever you have.

Sports Princeton gets proven winner in Bryan Wyant Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

In March 2018, Bryan Wyant was emotional as he emerged from a Trent Arena locker room to address the media after Hughes fell to Trotwood-Madison in a Division II regional fi nal.

His team had just fi nished the program’s best season in over 60 years. The problem? All fi ve starters were seniors.

In eight months Hughes would have to replace 68 points and 28 rebounds per game.

It wouldn’t matter.

By January of 2019, Hughes had won 16 of its fi rst 19 games and had dispelled any doubt that it was one of the city’s premier teams. The Big Red fi nished in a three-way tie for the league title with a completely revamped starting lineup

that included two underclassmen.

That trend defi ned Wyant’s 12-year stint at Hughes and is a reason why he’s back in Division I at the helm of Princeton High School, which recently announced his hiring.

In the last four seasons combined, Wyant’s teams won 80% of its games (82-20) while playing in the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference red division (arguably the city’s toughest). In that span, he was named the league’s coach of the year three times and the southwest district’s coach of the year twice.

In Wyant’s biggest wizardry act, he led last year’s team — picked in a preseason poll to fi nish fi fth in the CMAC red — to a 20-6 record and a 10-0 mark against conference foes. That was after losing

OHSAA cancels spring high school sports season James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

John Bosse and his family. Bosse was a 1966 graduate of La Salle High School. A football and track coach for more than 20 years, he was also the fi rst La Salle Alumni Association president. He died on Good Friday, April 10. IMAGES PROVIDED

La Salle’s John Bosse was inspiration, role model James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

La Salle High School lost one of its legends with the passing of John Bosse, class of 1966, on Good Friday, April 10.

“John’s infl uence on La Salle has been incredible,” said Matt Dierkers, director of advancement. “His foresight to create the La Salle Alumni Softball league in the summer of 1972 was instrumental in pulling thousands of graduates together for continued connection.” At its peak, there were more than 60 teams playing including 3,000 La Salle graduates.

Bosse, a football and track coach for more than 20 years, was the fi rst La Salle Alumni Association president.

He was a counselor at the school from 2002-15 and facilitated numerous Kairos retreats. He also started the Tower Titans youth program and Club 66 for members of his graduating class.

“As someone who played for, coached with and worked with John, I am not sure that a more true Lasallian has ever walked the halls of 3091 North Bend Road,” La Salle counselor and coach Tom Doerger said. “He was an inspiration and role model of a servant leader.”

Bosse had a lot of passion for academics, athletics and other activities including some that he created himself like the paintball club and journalism clubs. His knowledge of all things La Salle including alumni information and sports history was unsurpassed, said his friends and coworkers.

“The thing that was most impressive to me was how John remained focused on the kids and making sure that everything he was involved in at La Salle benefi ted the students,” Doerger said.

family organized a drive-by procession on North Bend Road on Monday morning, April 13, moving past La Salle High School on their way to St. James Church for the funeral Mass. It was their best option because of the novel coronavirus.

As a result, La Salle High School and the Bosse family are planning a summer memorial service, once the stay-athome order has been lifted.

“We know how important an event like this is for the Bosse family, our

alumni family and the La Salle Alumni Association,” Dierkers said. “We are all hurting and look forward to supporting each other while celebrating John’s life and his contributions to the community.”

The La Salle community put together an event to honor Bosse for his service in June, 2019, and a scholarship fund is set up in his name.

“John Bosse was a Lasallian educational giant,” Director of Campus Ministry Chris Winiarski said. “With over 50 years of service at La Salle High School, as an alumnus of the class of 1966, John’s positive and transformative infl uence was felt by many young men during their time at La Salle High School and beyond.”

Bosse was known for a no-nonsense approach, balanced by his compassion and care as he helped young men to see and realize their own full potential.

Bosse, 72, was married to wife, Jean, for 48 years. They have three children, Jeff Bosse, Bryan (Gretchen) Bosse and Jennifer (Dustin) Wygant, and six grandchildren, Reilly, Katrina, Dominic and Kiersten Bosse, Elise and Lauren Wygant. He is survived by sisters Julie (Lawrence) Fletcher and Janice Utter and was preceded in death by his parents, Anthony “Tony” and Julia (nee Dannecker) Bosse.

Memorials may be made to The John Bosse Scholarship Fund, 3091 North Bend Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45239 in lieu of fl owers.

Information on the memorial celebration will be shared on La Salle’s website and social media channels as plans are confi rmed. Frederick Funeral Home served the family.

In the wake of having to cancel the spring sports season, Ohio High School Athletic Association Executive Director Jerry Snodgrass said they’re planning ahead for fall and exploring options in case the quarantine continues.

The OHSAA informed member schools Monday, April 20, that spring sports are now canceled, as Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced earlier in the day that school facilities will remain closed for the remainder of the academic year due to the coronavirus COVID-19. The OHSAA released the offi cial decision.

For weeks, the OHSAA has communicated with schools that spring sports would be canceled if school facilities were closed.

The OHSAA’s mandatory no-contact period for all interscholastic sports remained in eff ect until at least May 3, which could be extended.

Coaches and school administrators are encouraged to have non-mandatory electronic and online communications with their student-athletes. The closure of school facilities includes all athletic facilities for any interscholastic training, practice or competition.

Snodgrass said in a recent press conference his staff did an excellent job planning for the cancellation of winter tournaments, saying that the process of refunding ticket purchases was smooth and effi cient.

He expects that planning performance to continue as the OHSAA starts to make the plans for the fall season.

Having fall seasons start on time partially will depend on facility availability, which is not under the OHSAA See OHSAA, Page 2B

US News rankings: See which Cincy, NKY schools are the best Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The rankings are in and Greater Cincinnati continues to have some of the best schools around.

Annually, the U.S. News Best High Schools rankings include data on more than 24,000 public high schools in 50 states and the District of Columbia. The rankings came out this week and include some familiar names in Greater Cincinnati.

In Ohio and Kentucky's top 30 schools, there are 12 Greater Cincinnati schools that made the list. In both states, local schools were named the second-best school in the state by U.S. News & World Report.

"Nearly 18,000 schools were ranked on six factors based on their performance on state assessments and how well they prepare students for college," U.S. News said.

According to the study, schools are evaluated on six factors: college readiness, reading and math profi ciency, reading and math performance, underserved student performance, college

All of the buzz words and phrases that go into a new coaching hire — success, creating a culture, winning off the court, setting a standard— Wyant delivered on.

Over the last six years, Hughes has been remodeled. What once was just a team carrying its equipment in Kroger plastic bags is now a legitimate program Wyant leaves in better condition than he inherited back in 2009.

Kelly Whelan that makes sure players never go without food and equipment.

There’s also new academic advisor Caitlin Vagades, who assists during mandatory 90-minute study tables directly after school ends before a three-hour regiment of weight training, fi lm and practice.

Wyant often encouraged his players to maintain a 3.0 grade-point average and to get at least a 22 on the ACT so they could get a grant to attend the University of Cincinnati.

“If basketball doesn’t work out, we’re gonna get you every opportunity and we’re gonna work to get you there academically,” Wyant told The Enquirer.

Wyant will now join the Greater Miami Conference to battle against some of the city’s most renowned coaches like Clint Adkins, who has led Lakota East to

back-to-back district championships and Mike Price, who is entering his 28th season at Oak Hills. Greg Richards has over 25 years of experience and 350 wins at Mason and Jim Leon just steered Lakota West to a district championship appearance after three consecutive losing seasons.

Princeton is in the midst of its own revival, having been turned around by former Northern Kentucky University star Steve Wright and Oklahoma City Thunder fi rst-round pick Darius Bazley. The Vikings have recorded four consecutive winning seasons since going 20-45 combined from 2014-16.

Princeton will lose eight seniors from last year’s 17-win squad coached by longtime assistant Steve Green.

control. School districts and the Ohio government will make determinations on when stadiums and school fi elds will be available.

“July is a very physical month for our student-athletes entering fall sports, so we have already started looking at, if this continues through the summer, we’ll have the potential of having a lot of kids who haven’t had the physical activity that they would normally have going into a fall season. So for the health and safety of everyone, we have to look at the acclimation periods going into the fall, if that happens. We have to be prepared for that,” he said in a press release.

“We’re also talking about that, if this does go through the summer, what is the likelihood that a student can get in to get a physical (annual medical exam)? We have a sports medicine advisory group that is looking at that. They are looking at all aspects, such as whether artifi cial surfaces need to be treated. We are relying on the advice of experts in our decision-making.”

He said having shortened fall seasons are a possibility, adding the seasons have to end on a timely schedule, because of winter sports and weather concerns, particularly with football in December.

The OHSAA budget is also a current concern. Lost ticket revenue from the state basketball tournaments would have supplied a signifi cant amount of the association revenue.

Snodgrass said the OHSAA has no immediate plans for layoff s and furloughs for its staff , and the OHSAA has applied for federal funding under the U.S. coronavirus relief bill known as the CARES Act. Snodgrass addressed the Be the Light Ohio tributes, in which many schools around Ohio lit up their stadiums to pay tribute to the Class of 2020, including many Cincinnati schools.

“That just highlights what high school sports mean to our communities,” Snodgrass said. “It shows we’re all in this together.”

continuing to meet virtually, working on badges at home, and are sharing service project ideas.

An Eagle Scout is a natural born leader, one who models courage, kindness, and character…and whose good example others can’t help but follow.

These words ring true especially for local Dan Beard Council, Boy Scouts of America Eagle Scout, Anthony Weinmann of Troop 44 chartered by the Bridgetown Middle School PTA in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Anthony wanted a way to help others during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and when he saw a Facebook post from a fellow Scout from Canada who was 3-D printing mask ear guards for healthcare workers, he immediately knew he could be doing this as well for healthcare workers locally in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area.

The 3-D printed plastic ear guards are extremely helpful for healthcare workers who wear their masks hours at a time.

The mask ear guards protect their ears from getting sore and are an essential item for them in the recent crisis of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

As of Friday, April 10, 2020, Anthony has printed over 500 mask ear guards over the course of seven days which were all donated to local hospitals. Anthony Weinmann is an excellent role model for others by demonstrating the Scout Spirit. He is a prime example of what an Eagle Scout should represent–motivation, leadership, and achievement to name a few.

The Dan Beard Council would like to thank Anthony for his excellent work in the community and for helping others in a time of need!

The Dan Beard Council covers fi ve Ohio counties (Butler, Warren, Hamilton, Clermont and Brown) and seven Kentucky counties (Boone, Kenton, Campbell, Gallatin, Owen, Grant and Pendleton).

Serving more than 20,000 families and led by over 6,000 volunteers, the Dan Beard Council provides a program of character development,

‘normal’ across the country, members of American Heritage Girls, a faith-based scoutingtype alternative, are creatively using their gifts and talents to serve those in their communities while social distancing.

“The many ways AHG Members, near and far, are giving of their time and talent to serve others during a time of isolation and uncertainty, is a testament to the power of what American Heritage Girls is all about – faith, service, and fun,” said Patti Garibay, AHG’s Founder & Executive Director. “Most importantly, we are serving others by praying for our world each day as we all get through this time together.”

An AHG Troop in Louisiana is creating care packages for local nurses and doctors, and an AHG family in Texas is sewing hundreds of masks for frontline workers. An AHG family in South Carolina is grocery shopping for others who can’t get to stores, and an Illinois Troop is making cards for nursing home residents.

Cincinnati Princeton grad Allen DeGraffenreid talks OSU, NFL and life after football From walk-on Placekicker to taking reps as an NFL Wide Receiver alongside Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Terrell Owens, former Cincinnati Princeton High School soccer player Allen DeGraff enreid had an interesting athletic career. to say the least. He joins “A Study in Scarlet and Gray,” to talk about his circuitous football career and Buckeye Pride.

Mr. Graff enreid details how he went from a fulltime soccer player and part-time kicker in High School to deciding to walk-on as a kicker at The Ohio State University.

With established, scholarship kickers ahead of him on the depth chart, he made the move to wide receiver, a position he had never played before.

He describes, what became a theme for him, learning the ropes from those around him and becoming better and better.

And he relays how Ohio State University put others in a position to mentor him.

Mr. DeGraff enreid describes how being a Buckeye forced him to keep facing challenges to succeed, and to achieve levels that he previously thought were impossible.

He has carried that over to his life after football and shares that on this broadcast.

Amberley Village still combating storm cleanup, with a little help from some friends A little over a week af-

ter storms ripped through the region, Amberley Village is still working to clean up the aftermath.

Massive trees were uprooted, taking with them electrical wires, poles and transformers that left some residents without power for several days.

And while power has long been restored, the cleanup eff orts continue - with a little help from some friends.

Crews from the City of Mason, the Village of Mariemont, the City of Beavercreek and Symmes Township have stepped in to assist with additional manpower, vehicles and equipment to ensure all residents are accessible to emergency crews.

The assistance comes following many days of round-the-clock eff orts

by Amberley Village crews to manage the workload on their own.

“As a small municipality with limited resources, we’re extremely grateful for the support and generosity of our neighbors from these departments,” said PoliceFire Chief Richard L. Wallace. “Especially during the current pandemic, it’s touching to know there are friends out there willing to step in and help.”

The fi rst Virtual Happy Hour took place on April 15 and featured special guest Cincinnati native Nick Lachey of 98 Degrees. Lachey has family connections to KAA through his brother Zach, who participates in programs for adults with developmental disabilities, and his mom, who works for the nonprofi t.

In addition, Kevin Potts, KAA Executive Director, shared the group’s plans for their residential community in Springfi eld Township and talked about their aquaponics program at O2 Urban Farms, located in Cheviot, and employs seven adults with disabilities.

Ken told amusing stories from his career with the Cincinnati Bengals, like negotiating his fi rst contract with the legendary Paul Brown. He also asked some Bengals trivia questions, for which winners will receive KAA swag. Jay DeCrews from neighboring departments in Mason, Beavercreek, Mariemont and Symmes Township pitch in to help Amberley Village take on massive cleanup efforts more than a week after intense storms hit the area on April 8. PROVIDED

Marcus, Rascal Flatts’ bassist, contributed a video message announcing the opportunity to win a special VIP Experience at Riverbend with Ken and Cristy Anderson.

A second raffl e for golf with Ken at Moraine Country Club in Dayton is also being off ered.

One virtual attendee noted: “It was a privilege to watch the fi rst Virtual Happy Hour and I am excited to tune in next Wednesday. Keep up the wonderful work you guys are doing with the foundation and thanks for giving us such an awesome opportunity to get our minds off of the coronavirus.”

Additional Happy Hours are planned April 29 and the fi nal one on Tuesday, May 5.

Ken’s childhood neighbor, former NBA star Dan Issel, and Doug Flynn, former Reds and MLB player, are on deck for the April 29 off ering. The series concludes with a Virtual Dance Party hosted

by Ken and longtime supporter D.J. David Kahle on Cinco De Mayo, Tuesday May 5th.

“Happy Hours with Ken” will stream on the Ken Anderson Alliance’s YouTube channel and begin at 5:30 p.m. on the dates mentioned. To watch live, go to Youtube.com and subscribe to the Ken Anderson Alliance channel. While there, you can check out other videos from the agency.

For more information about the mission of the Ken Anderson Alliance, volunteer opportunities, to purchase raffl e tickets, or make a donation, visit the nonprofi t’s website at www.kenandersonalliance.org Due to the generosity of an anonymous donor, a matching gift up to $20,000 will be made for each raffl e ticket or donation made to KAA through this spring.

SCHOOL NEWS YWCA announces scholarship winners Ten high school females have been awarded scholarships through the YWCA’s Mamie Earl Sells Scholars program.

The YWCA Mamie Earl Sells Scholarship recognizes female African American senior high school students for academic achievements and qualities of leadership, extracurricular involvement and community service.

The YWCA scholarship stands apart from others as it places signifi cant weight on the ability to be successful despite having to overcome signifi cant adversity.

The YWCA Mamie Earl Sells Scholarship Fund, established in 1993, provides fi nancial assistance to support the recipients’ post-secondary education costs.

Each fall, nearly 50 applications from over 20 schools are accepted and an independent panel of community leaders and educators makes the fi nal decision on the scholarship recipients.

The scholarship serves as a memorial to Mamie Earl Sells, a dedicated community volunteer who gave her time, intel-

lect, and enthusiasm to the YWCA. The scholarship upholds the vision and leadership she provided to the YWCA and its Career Women of Achievement program through enacting her philosophy that we must “lift as we climb” by acting as role models to the young women of today and tomorrow.

The Mamie Earl Sells Scholarship is awarded each year in coordination with the YWCA Career Women of Achievement Luncheon. This year’s luncheon is Tuesday, Oct. 20.

This year’s honorees include Honorable Mentions each receiving a $500 Scholarship: Ida Addo, Wyoming High School; Aissatou Barry, Robert A. Taft Information Technology High School; Mariah K. Figgs, Colerain High School; Angel Lasha Godfrey, Gamble Montessori School; Tiff any Danielle Johnston, Wyoming High School; Alexia Hannah Otchere, Cincinnati Country Day School; Ashlyn Sanders, Woodward Technical Career High School; Runners-Up each receiving a $1,000 scholarship: Coniccia Burnett, Withrow University High School and Raven Williams, North College Hill High

School; and Top Scholarship Recipient receiving a $3,000 scholarship Thalia Grant, Depaul Cristo Rey High School.

About the winner: A senior at DePaul Cristo Rey High School, Thalia miraculously maintains a 3.9 GPA while juggling her academic pursuits, community service, an evening job at Panera and extensive Thalia Grant care for her siblings.

At school, she is known as an exceptional leader and student-athlete.

Thalia is a member of the varsity track team and a cheerleader. Serving as Student Council President since 2016, she found time to establish the school’s fi rst mock trial team and complete four years of a work study program that provides career readiness assistance to women in need.

She volunteers at Matthew 25 Ministries, The Society of St. Vincent DePaul and Crayons 2 Computers.

19 Jack Mowat, 20, of Omaha, Neb., is a sophomore at Notre Dame studying civil engineering. A self-described crossword “fanatic,” he and his roommate used to solve the New York Times crossword together every day and hang the completed puzzles on the wall. The inspiration for this one was his dad, an avid golfer. This is Jack’s second puzzle for The Times. His collaborator, Jeff Chen, is a writer and professional crossword constructor in Seattle. — W.S.

Coronavirus in Ohio: Reaching ‘the least of us’ Aquila Sanders prepares to start her route of home deliveries from the St. Joseph Orphanage in Cincinnati on April 23.

St. Joseph's delivers meals and school work to students at home.

Anne Saker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Aquila Sanders threaded the white Chevy van through the gray morning rain Thursday, April 23 on a route she knows cold after six weeks. Through the rabbit warren apartment complexes of the west side, she delivers food, schoolwork and a connection.

She remembers the impact back in March when the school staff at St. Joseph Orphanage started the free frontdoor drops to the family homes of their 160 students.

“We had one student, he came out, and he wanted to hug me, and I wasn’t able to hug,” Sanders said, “and it just, I think I had a bigger meltdown than he did.”

St. Joseph Orphanage, founded 190 years ago and still operated by the Roman Catholic archdiocese, stopped operating as an orphanage 30 years ago.

Today, it provides behavioral and mental health services for children living in poverty, loss and trauma. The orphanage also runs a K-12 school with 160 students.

One important anchor for these vulnerable children is school, where a behavior support specialist such as Sanders is a steadying classroom presence.

When Ohio closed schools March 12 to mount a defense against the new coronavirus, Sanders “assumed there would be no more school year. I told (the students) from the beginning not to be surprised.”

St. Joseph leaders, teachers and staff quickly joined health care’s massive clinical shift to telemedicine, especially in mental health care. But the 160 children who attend school, eat meals and get psychological care at St. Joseph needed to see a familiar face to get them through the shutdown. The St. Joseph delivery service began.

For six weeks on Mondays and Thursdays, four teams have been riding across the city and as far east as Amelia dropping off bags of food and manila envelopes of schoolwork.

Thursday morning, Sanders fi rst backed up the white Chevy van to the school building to load 22 bags. In each were three cans of sloppy joe mix, a few protein bars, a bag of instant potatoes and three single-serving cups of apple-

sauce or pineapple.

The food comes from the Freestore Foodbank. Tom Harsha, operations coordinator at St. Joseph who oversees packing the bags, said it’s getting harder to fi nd food now, especially canned vegetables.

Beside her in the van, Sanders arranged a stack of 22 manila envelopes with the next assignments for each student. Riding with her were Heidi Gorney and Vanessa Kuhn, who are treatmentgroup leaders at St. Joseph.

Sanders said the students have surprised during the shutdown. They are doing their school work and asking for more. She has a theory. “When they’re in school, it’s with their peers, and they have to be a certain way. At home, they’re able to do the work without the peer pressures.”

The six weeks have also given Sanders the words to say to any child who wants a hug when she stops by. “I just explain that this has to happen, but he can keep a tally, and when he comes back to school, we’ll just double up.”

Now that families know the deliveries are coming regularly, they don’t always get up anymore to meet the drop, Sanders said. That Thursday’s rain was a discouragement, too. No one answered the knocks to the door at the fi rst three of the day’s planned 22 stops, each at a modest west side apartment building.

Operation coordinator Tom Harsha loads bagged meals and school work into the back of a delivery van at the St. Joseph Orphanage.

Day treatment group leader Vanessa Kuhn hops out of the delivery van to drop off food and school work for a student at their home in the North Fairmount neighborhood.

At the fourth door, Kuhn ran through the rain to drop off the bag of food and the manila envelope. As she then turned back for the van, Sanders said of the child inside, “This one, I’ve got in my class.”

As she was about to drive off , the apartment door opened. A lanky young teenage boy, barefoot, bounded from the

apartment to the driver’s side van. Sanders told him to stand back, as she reached out: “I want to talk to you next week, by phone.”

The boy rolled his head.

“Ten minutes!” Sanders said.

The boy met her eyes. Sanders waited. He nodded.

“Next week,” she said, pulling away.
