‘She was taken from us’ Daughter, friends talk about College Hill shooting victim Deborah Evans Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Mother of offi cer killed on I-275 says man ‘stole her future and her dreams’ Terry Blankenship sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 30 years

“Everyone loved her”

Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

On the day the man who killed her daughter pleaded guilty and was sentenced, Gina Mobley recalled the day her daughter was born.

Oct.18, 1986, Mobley said, “was the sweetest day.”

She called the actions of Terry Blankenship, who last year intentionally drove a pickup into Springdale police Offi cer Kaia Grant’s car, “malevolent” and “evil.”

Standing at a podium April 30 in a Hamilton County courtroom, Mobley said Blankenship “stole (Grant’s) future and her dreams.”

Common Pleas Judge Jennifer Branch imposed a sentence April 30 that had been agreed upon as part of Blankenship’s plea – life in prison with the possibility of parole after 30 years.

The courtroom was packed with dozens of police offi cers, most of them Grant’s colleagues.

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – May 6.

To her friends and family, Deborah Evans was a joy, to be with, someone who was always willing to help anyone.

“She was always happy, always had a smile. Always there when you needed her. Always taking a bunch of pictures,” said Di’Rajia Evans-Harvill, her 24-year-old daughter.

Evans had a close-knit family.

When Evans-Harvill was growing up, the entire family lived together in one house including grandmas, aunts and uncles, a great aunt and fi rst and second cousins. Evans loved babies and has been asking her daughter EvansHarvill for a grandchild.

Evans, 39, was shot on April 25 in College Hill, leaving her daughter without both of her parents.

“I’m hurt,” Evans-Harvill said. “My Mama will never be able to meet my kids.”

Springdale Police Officer Kaia Grant was killed in the line of duty March 21, 2020. FILE

Springdale police Chief Thomas Wells told Branch that what happened “has altered our lives forever.”

“There is just nothing that can change what occurred and the eff ect it has had on us, as people,” Wells said.

Blankenship, 43, pleaded guilty April 30 to aggravated murder. He had faced the death penalty, but prosecutors agreed not to seek a death sentence in exchange for the guilty plea.

The crash happened the evening of March 21, 2020. An Elmwood Place police offi cer was pursuing Blankenship on Interstate 275 when the crash happened

in Springdale’s city limits.

Grant, a seven-year veteran of the department, was likely preparing to throw a tire-defl ation device on the highway, offi cials have said. Springdale police Sgt. Andrew Davis was assisting her.

At about 8:15 p.m., offi cials said Blankenship drove his pickup directly toward the offi cers. He plowed into their patrol cars, causing Grant’s body to go airborne, cross the highway barrier and land on the opposite side of the See SENTENCE, Page 2A Dozens of police officers fi le into the courtroom to show support for the family of Kaia Grant during a sentencing for Terry Blankenship in the courtroom of Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Jennifer Branch on Friday, April 30.

Because they were so close in age, Evans was very close with her daughter. Evans-Harvill will miss being able to call her Mom with all her random questions.

“Certain things I couldn’t pull over her eyes like the older Moms,” EvansHarvill said. “Not necessarily the cool Mom but we were always super tight.

She got a lot of the things that I was going through.”

Evans loved Hip Hop music, going out to eat and to get drinks and just being around people, according to family and friends.

Antoinett Thompson, 39, has been best friends with Evans since the ninth grade at Woodward High School.

Through 25 years of friendship, the two went to Brown Mackie college together, worked together and even went on their fi rst vacation together in early April.

Thompson described Evans as laid back and always having a smile.

Thompson is among the colleagues and friends that are organizing a memorial fund for Evans that will go to her daughter.

“Anything Deborah set her mind to she conquered! She was a real inspiration to everybody around her. Always with a smile on her face, her smile was very contagious,” the GoFundMe says (https://bit.ly/2Rw6laK).

Winton Woods City Schools’ levy fails by wide margin Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Voters went against Winton Woods City School District’s proposed tax levy hike on May 4, two months after the district opened a $51 million building for grades 7-12.

A second new campus for grades K-6 is set to open to students in the fall.

Together, the district says the new facilities are worth $107 million.

All votes were counted by 10 p.m.

May 4, according to the Hamilton County Board of Elections. Unoffi cial results show 71.5% or 2,168 votes against the tax levy and 28.5% or 866 votes for the levy.

The operating levy increase had been intended to support the expansion of the Preschool Village, enhanced school safety measures including additional resource offi cers and enrollment eff orts, according to the district’s website.

The last time Winton Woods voters passed approved an operating levy hike was 2009. A November 2016 levy helped fund the new campuses the district is opening this year.

Chip shortage shuts down Ford’s transmission plant in Sharonville A worker inspects a control unit for a transmission being built at Ford's Sharonville plant. The plant is in a temporary shutdown stemming from the worldwide shortage of microchips.

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – May 4. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates.

Ford Motor Co.’s Sharonville transmission plant was recently in the second week of a temporary shutdown stemming from the worldwide shortage of semiconductors, or microchips.

The plant, which makes the transmission for the F-Series Super Duty Trucks, was expected to reopen May 10, barring further interruption in the parts supply, according to Tod Turner, president of UAW Local 863, which represents workers there.

The 182-acre Sharonville facility has about 1,880 employees, including about 1,680 full-time hourly employees.

The plant temporarily shut down production in March last year in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.

But the current shutdown is the fi rst tied to the shortage of microchips, the tiny operating brains that are vital to the engineering and production of modern vehicles and are found in just about every modern electronic device.

ENQUIRER FILE

Seventy-fi ve percent of microchips are manufactured in Asia, where severe weather earlier this year suspended microchip production at facilities across the continent at the same time demand for smart phones, computers and cars that use microchips hit all-time highs during the pandemic.

Ford said in March it expected the semiconductor shortage to cost between $1 billion and $2.5 billion.

The Dearborn, Michigan-based company last month announced production cuts tied to the microchip shortage in Chicago, Flat Rock, Mich. and Kansas City.

Police searching for suspects in vandalism of a new playground in Colerain Park Quinlan Bentley Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A playground that is under construction in Colerain Township was vandalized April 28.

The new playground in Colerain Park was vandalized between 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., township offi cials stated in a Facebook post on April 29.

Photos of the damage posted on social media shows graffi ti on sidewalks, buildings and turf, as well as playground and construction equipment.

Offi cials said the extent of the damage is currently unknown.

“Parks employees are working with the construction company to determine what can be cleaned and what needs replaced,” the Facebook post states, not-

ing that the playground’s opening in early June may be pushed back as a result of the damage.

Anyone with information about this incident is being asked to contact the Colerain Police Department at 513-3212677.

highway, offi cials have said.

Grant was taken by helicopter to University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead. She was 33 years old. Davis “was nearly killed,” Wells said.

Afterward, Blankenship’s pickup was stopped at the side of the highway.

One of his attorneys, Tim McKenna, said April 30 that Blankenship tried to commit suicide by shooting himself from under the chin.

He suff ered extensive facial injuries and woke up in a hospital, McKenna said, on a ventilator with a tube in his throat.

Blankenship had been wanted by

Blanchester police since two days earlier, when offi cials say he broke into his estranged wife’s trailer and threatened her boyfriend at gunpoint.

After a struggle over the gun, police said Blankenship pistol-whipped the man before fl eeing.

According to Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters, in text messages to his estranged wife and in conversations with his mother, Blankenship made statements indicating “police would have to kill him (because) he was not willing to go back to jail.”

In court April 30, Branch asked Blankenship if he wanted to make a statement. He responded, simply, “No, ma’am.”

The fund had an original goal of $10,000 but now is hoping for $20,000. So far, it has raised more than $9,000.

Sarah Amor, 38, is another organizer of the fund. She became friends with Evans while working together at an insurance company in 2008. Evans was the godmother of Amor’s daughter.

“Now that she’s gone, I wanted to make sure her daughter was taken care of as well,” Amor said.

“We were just always laughing, capping, dancing. We just had a bunch of fun together.”

“She was taken from us” There is warrant out for Chris Tims, 47, in connection with the shooting.

Tims and Evans were in a relationship for more than 20 years before it ended last September.

Her daughter and Evans’ friends say that it was a contentious relationship that had only gotten worse through the separation. Family allege stalking as well as threats.

“She was taken from us and it’s not fair,” Amor said. “She was brave so people wouldn’t worry about her.”

Evans had been living with Thompson since the breakup.

Sarah Amor and Deborah Evans PROVIDED

“She put on a brave face. She didn’t tell us much about it,” her daughter Evans-Harvill said. “I’m honestly afraid until he’s caught.”

It’s been hard, Thompson said, and no one is doing ok. Family and friends are still planning and arranging the fu-

neral, which they hope will happen May 10. “Everyone loved her.”

Tickle Pickle, a story of perseverance (now with a side of fries) Keith Pandolfi Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The big news about Tickle Pickle in Northside is this: It will soon be off ering french fries. Seems kind of like a nobrainer for a joint that’s been slinging burgers for the past fi ve or six years. It’s just that they never had the room for a deep fryer in the Pickle’s tiny kitchen.

By knocking down a wall and relocating some of the prep space, they fi nally will.

Owner Lea Dickman doesn’t know what kind of fries they will be just yet.

She’s partial to shoestring fries, but given that 70 percent of her business is still carryout, she knows they don’t travel well. They can get a little soggy. They can get a little gross. In the end, it will be a group decision.

Either way, I’m excited. I’ve only been to the Tickle Pickle a handful of times, but I already get why Northsiders love it so much. While its entirely capable of being a family restaurant (high chairs are available), it reminds me more of a

great college restaurant at UC or Ohio State: a place with great burgers (defi nitely in my top fi ve), good beers, great music and an atmosphere that makes you feel younger than you actually are.

The burgers are simple. Their buns, soft; their patties, a perfect compromise between a thin fast-food burger and a cumbersome chef-y one. They don’t come with branded buns or a steak knife stabbed through the center as if the poor thing was murdered just before serving (two trends I wish would go away).

The burgers, as well as the chicken and pulled pork sandwiches, are all named after rock bands: the Bread Zeppelin; the Meatalica, the Nom Petty and my personal favorite, the Big Mac Miller, which perfectly mimics and no doubt improves upon that other version. They also have salads, milkshakes, vegan options, cocktails and some pretty addictive sides. I won’t go into them all, but one, the Goetta Van Fleet, includes macand-cheese, goetta and mashed up Grippo’s BBQ potato chips.

Hungry? Well, you’ll have to wait a

while. On Monday, April 26, Tickle Pickle closed its doors for two weeks so Dickman and her husband, Ray, an ironworker and jack of all trades, can remodel the kitchen. That means their 12 employees will have some free time on their hands, even though most will return within a week to start learning about the fryer and decide what kind of fries to serve.

I guess that’s where the other news comes in: After hearing her employees talk about using the time to go camping this week, Dickman decided to rent a cabin for all of them at Red River Gorge.

It’s a simple gesture, sure, but it tells a bigger story: How Dickman, who took over Tickle Pickle after its previous owner, her good friend, Sarah Cole, died after being hit by a car in front of the restaurant in 2016. And how, over time, she’s carried on Cole’s legacy, especially when it comes to running a restaurant both ethically and responsibly. Especially when it comes to treating people right.

“Sarah taught me how to be a good boss,” Dickman told me as we sat at a table at Tickle Pickle, listening to music that ranged from Deep Purple to Sonic Youth. She’d just returned from her daughter’s volleyball tournament in Northern Kentucky, where she and Ray live with their four children, ages 11, 14 (they’re twins) and 17.

Lea Dickman, Tickle Pickle owner.

Prior to working with Cole at a catering company, Dickman spent years as a stay-at-home mom. So aside from a high school stint working at Gold Star Chili, she had no restaurant experience to speak of.

When Cole died just six months after Tickle Pickle opened, Dickman, who was running the place alongside her, decided to buy the restaurant from Cole’s husband. Even though she had no idea how to run a restaurant, let alone manage employees.

These Greater Cincinnati schools make list of best in the U.S. Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati has some of the best high schools around, according to a new report from US News and World Report.

For its annual list, the US News Best High Schools ranked around 17,860 public high schools after reviewing nearly 24,000 public high schools in 50 states and the District of Columbia. The rankings came out recently and include some familiar names in Greater Cincinnati.

In Ohio, Walnut Hills High School tops the list but eight other local high schools also ranked in the top 30 in the state.

In Kentucky, fi ve local high schools ranked in the top 30 in the state.

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 curriculum breadth and graduation rates.

Here are the top-ranked Greater Cincinnati schools: Ohio No. 1: Walnut Hills High School No. 3: Wyoming High School No. 6: Madeira High School No. 7: Indian Hill High School No. 12: Turpin High School No. 16: William Mason High School No. 22: Mariemont High School No. 28: Sycamore High School Kentucky No. 2: Beechwood High School No. 4: Highlands High School No. 16: Campbell County High School No. 20: Larry A. Ryle High School No. 27: Dixie Heights High School

Continued from Page 4A

But even during their short time working together, Cole had already taught Dickman everything she needed to know.

“Sarah showed me how to care for your people; how to make them feel loved and appreciated,” Dickman said.

She recalled a time when, after she told Cole how she missed journaling, Cole bought her a laptop to do just that. She mentioned a rough period of her personal life where Cole off ered to do anything she could to make things just a little bit easier, any way she could “I feel like so many places create a rough atmosphere for their employees,” Dickman said. “The restaurant industry can be very toxic. And that’s the opposite of what I want for the people who work here. I tell my employees that if they feel burned out, or even if they can’t smile, they should take some time off and take care of themselves.”

The past year has been especially hard on Dickman’s employees. While Tickle Pickle never closed its doors during the pandemic, relying exclusively on carryout, more than a few customers

took the staff to task for making them wear masks or keep their distance while ordering. “Some people were pretty terrible,” Dickman said with a look of disappointment on her face.

But she didn’t let those customers (or even a global pandemic) get her down.

To her, keeping the restaurant (and, more importantly, Cole’s legacy) alive was too important.

It’s a sense of determination that comes through when Dickman tells me how, the morning after Cole succumbed to her injuries, she and Ray decided to open Tickle Pickle the very next morning. No, she wasn’t in the right frame of mind to do anything of the sort, but she knew that if she didn’t, they might never reopen again. And there was no way she was going to let that happen. Not on her watch.

And so the point of this story is that Tickle Pickle is still here. The point of this story is that Lea and Ray Dickman are fully committed to keeping it that way. That Sarah Cole’s daughter, Ellie, now works there, carrying on her mother’s legacy. That a painting of Cole still watches over the dining room, no doubt happy with what she sees.

So yeah, Tickle Pickle will soon be offering fries. But the story’s much bigger than that.

Have you tried your hand at homemade bread?

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Have you tried your hand at homemade bread?

Some will answer with a defi nite “Yes.” Then there are others who think making bread is beyond daunting.

That’s why I wanted to share this recipe for Italian bread. The bonus? Tried and true. From a reader who started baking it during the pandemic and enjoyed the bread so much she makes it regularly.

“My family loves this easy Italian bread. No kneading,” she said.

Well, here’s my take. We may be at the end of the pandemic and still a bit anxious about it all, so do as I did – take a little time to make this bread. You’ll accomplish two things: therapy that comes from working with dough, and a lovely, tender loaf eaten warm from the oven. Better than store bought in my not so humble opinion.

This makes 2 loaves. They can be frozen. Make sure the bread is completely cool before wrapping for freezer.

No knead Italian bread Ingredients 2 packets active dry yeast,1/4 oz. each ⁄ 2 cup warm water (110-115 degrees)

1

Couple pinches sugar to feed yeast 2 cups warm water (110-115 degrees) 2-3 tablespoons sugar 2 1⁄ 2 to 3 teaspoons salt ⁄ 2 cup olive or vegetable oil

1

5-6 cups all purpose flour and bit more if needed

water, adding couple pinches sugar to “feed” yeast. It’s ready when foamy on top, a few minutes.

In mixer, combine 2 cups warm water, 2-3 tablespoons sugar, salt and olive oil.

Stir yeast in 1⁄ 2 cup warm

Divide in half.

No egg. Appearance will be matte like, not shiny, but nice.

Cover and let rise 30 minutes.

How warm is 110-115 degrees?

Preheat oven to 400.

Put a few drops on your wrist. If it it’s just right for a baby to drink from a bottle, you’re good to go.

Bake 25-30 minutes.

Gilding the lily: Brush with soft butter right after baking.

Add 2-3 cups more flour and mix until well blended. Dough will be sticky. Cover bowl and let rise 1 hour, or until just about doubled.

Instructions

Make shallow diagonal slashes on top. Every few inches is good.

Brush egg wash on bread if using.

Add 3 cups flour and and mix well. Stir in yeast mixture.

Punch down and dump out. If real sticky, add a few tablespoons of flour at a time. Work it in but you don’t have to knead dough. Not too much flour or bread will be dry.

Egg wash (optional but good - see tips)

The indentation remains when bread is risen properly. PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

How to tell if dough has doubled Rising times are guides.

Egg washes: which is better?

Whisked egg white gives the most shine, with less coloring.

Making no knead Italian bread.

Roll each on floured surface, about 12x7”, using bit of flour if necessary.

Roll up, starting on long side. Place seam side down on parchment lined pan. Tuck ends under.

HARDWOOD & LUXURY VINYL

Whisked yolk with 2 teaspoons water gives glossy, golden yellow shine.

Whisked whole egg gives rich golden brown color.

Make indentation about 1/2” into dough. If indentation remains, dough has doubled.

For second rise after shaping, make small indentation in dough on its side.

If dent remains, dough is ready to bake.

COMMUNITY NEWS Great Parks plants 50 trees for Earth Day Great Parks of Hamilton County celebrated Earth Day 2021 as volunteers planted 50 trees simultaneously in three separate locations throughout the county. This year, Earth Day included multiple days of climate action under the theme of Restore Our Earth.

The Great Parks strategy for Earth Day was to plant trees in natural areas to reduce maintenance needs and make those areas more attractive to wildlife.

The trees included a mix of red maple, burr oak, bald cypress and other species, and they were planted at Triple Creek, Mitchell Memorial Forest and Withrow Nature Preserve.

This volunteer-driven event, held on April 24, also served as Great Parks’ commemoration of National Volunteer Appreciation Week from April 18-24.

Volunteer opportunities are open yearround at Great Parks. Register at greatparks.org.

OHC treatment suite nurse honored with Florence Nightingale Award nomination OHC’s own Sarah Banfi ll, a treatment suite nurse at OHC’s West location and resident of Bridgetown, Ohio, was recently selected as a Florence Nightingale Award for Excellence in Nursing nominee.

The award, sponsored by the Univer-

sity of Cincinnati College of Nursing, recognizes outstanding nurses in the Greater Cincinnati region who go above and beyond to provide exceptional patient care.

St. Bernard, Ohio resident Georgia Luttrell, a patient of OHC’s Kurt P. Leuenberger, MD, nominated Sarah for making her feel like she was at home during her chemotherapy treatments. “I felt very comfortable with Sarah,” noted Georgia. “She was so detailed and explained everything that would be happening.” Georgia, who has lung cancer that has metastasized to the brain, had been seeing Sarah three times a week for treatment. “I’ve not had a bad experience,” added Georgia. “Sarah is an excelSee COMMUNITY NEWS, Page 11A

lent nurse!”

Sarah joined OHC in July of 2019 after working on an orthopedic fl oor at a local hospital for a couple of years. “OHC doctors would send their patients to my fl oor,” said Sarah. “They were always my favorite.” Sarah, who studied nursing at Mount St. Joseph University, worked as a patient care assistant throughout school. She must have made quite an impression on Georgia. Sarah met Georgia last fall and learned of the award nomination shortly afterwards. “I was surprised!” said Sarah when asked about how she felt about being nominated.

“We are very proud of Sarah,” commented Dr. Leuenberger, a medical oncologist and hematologist. “The level of care Sarah and her colleagues provide to our patients is exceptional and speaks to how we would want our own family members to be taken care of. As doctors we are fortunate to work with such a great team of nurses,” said Dr. Leuenberger.

Every year, the UC College of Nursing Board of Advisers names six Florence Nightingale Award winners from a pool of hundreds of Greater Cincinnati nurses who best exemplify direct patient care. This year’s 29th annual awards ceremony will take place virtually on May 12.

Past OHC Nightingale Award nominees include Lisa Gebhardt (2012) and Anita Logsdon (2019).

Tri-staters save a lot of money while they’re saving the Earth All over the Tri State, people are jamming and slamming glass and tin cans into recycling containers. The racket is deafening. Most people know recycling is a good way to help the earth, but not everyone knows about reuse. Recycling breaks up discarded items like electronics and uses the parts. Reuse reconditions those same electronics and continues their useful life. Saving the raw materials that would be used for a new device makes reuse much better for the earth.

For the last 18 years, the nonprofi t Cincinnati Computer Cooperative has been reconditioning and reusing computers. Frank Adams, Executive Director, “Every pre-owned laptop we put into the community means no energy and no raw materials are used to make a new one. And getting a pre-owned laptop saves a lot of money for the new owner.”

Technicians at the Cooperative recondition computers and install free software. The computers are sold at below market prices to students, people over 55 and those on any form of public assistance. The Cooperative also serves schools and nonprofi ts and has donated over 1,000 computers to local schools. At the height of the pandemic, the Cooper-

ative provided 60% more computers to the community, most of them to students.

Adams: “When just one computer and monitor are reused, it saves 530 pounds of fossil fuel, 48 pounds of chemicals and 1.5 tons of water. A clear win for the planet. And since systems start at $150 with software and a year’s guarantee, a clear win for the new owner.”

The Cooperative’s systems all include MS Offi ce (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) and antivirus. Pre-installed programs mean these computers work from the moment they’re turned on. Practicing pandemic precautions, the Cooperative’s services are available by appointment only: Monday.-Friday 3-6 p.m. At this time the Cooperative can only accept business donations.

Call 513-771-3262.

The US throws away 9.4 million tons of electronic device waste, or e-waste, every year. This waste contains harmful chemicals like mercury, lead and arsenic that can leach into the earth. This Earth Day, remember that recycling and reuse are vital to keep our environment safe.

was diff erent having heavy winds and he still performed with top grades.

He’s great on the move, improvising and throwing on the run. In-pocket throws will be his next step.”

Also on May 2 at Indy, Logan Landers of Dixie Heights performed well at the Pro Day station fi nishing tied for fi fth in his throws among quarterbacks from Ohio, Michigan, Louisiana, Tennessee and Indiana.

COLUMBUS - The University of Dayton and the Ohio High School Athletic Association announced May 3 that the OHSAA girls and boys basketball state tournaments will be hosted at UD Arena for the next three years.

Doug Ute, OHSAA executive director, and Scott DeBolt, senior associate athletics director at the University of Dayton and executive director of UD Arena addressed the media May 3 at the historic venue that has hosted numerous basketball events including the NCAA First Four contests which will continue through at least 2026.

UD Arena had already been announced as the home of the OHSAA girls basketball state tournament for 2021, 2022 and 2023, but the new agreement for the girls and boys basketball state tournaments in 2022, 2023 and 2024 replaces that previous contract. UD Arena successfully hosted both the OHSAA girls and boys basketball state tournaments this past March.

Dayton Convention and Visitor’s Bureau CEO Jackie Powell attended this year’s high school event and initiated talks to include UD Arena as site of the boys tournament in addition to the already contracted girls deal.

“I can tell you that Dayton loves basketball,” Powell said. “We’ve had a little experience with hosting basketball events here.”

While discussions were held to continue the boys tournament in Columbus, Ute was excited to have the refurbished Flyer arena saying, “this is no consolation prize.”

Ute pointed out attendance in Columbus had dropped in recent years from a high in 2002 when Roger Bacon famously knocked off Lebron James and Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary at what was then Value City Arena (Schottenstein Center). That game packed in 18,375.

“Not everything has to happen in Columbus,” Ute said. “If you look at our tournaments, they are located around Ohio. For us, we want a fi rst-class facility, we want something aff ordable, especially during these challenging times. Our baseball/softball’s in Akron, our football is in Canton, tennis is in Cincinnati (Mason), basketball will be here. I think it’s a sign of where can our student-athletes get a great experience and how it’s aff ordable. We want a staff that wants us here.”

Dayton has previously been used (before 2021) as a district site for Division I games for Cincinnati-area teams. Often the regional games would fl ip back to Xavier’s Cintas Center then to Ohio State for state games.

Conceivably, Dayton could host games prior to the state tournament as assigned by the Southwest Ohio District Athletic Board.

Having hosted 125 NCAA basketball tournament games, UD Arena has been the home court for March Madness more than any other facility in the country.

“We are very excited to host the state tournaments at UD Arena,” DeBolt said. “In addition to our love of the Dayton Flyers, we are so proud to host many great events here, including the NCAA First Four, and we are pleased and grateful to welcome the OHSAA girls and boys basketball state tournaments to UD Arena. Our community will support the state tournaments just like our other events and this will be a special place for the teams, schools and communities that reach the state tournaments.”

DeBolt said the NCAA First Four would be returning next winter after the coronavirus pandemic model for

Three Greater Cincinnati high school quarterbacks perform well in Elite 11 competitions Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Soon-to-be senior quarterbacks from Cincinnati, Southeast Indiana and Northern Kentucky high schools all gained some national attention in recent Elite 11 invite-only competitions held in Indianapolis and Philadelphia.

Leading the pack was St. Xavier High School’s Brogan McCaughey.

McCaughey traveled to the Elite 11 regional competition in Philadelphia April 25 and came away as the top-rated passer. He outpointed quarterbacks from Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and Florida with a 95.22 rating, almost four points better than the No. 2 quarterback.

In his fi rst year as a varsity starter for Coach Steve Specht’s St. Xavier Bombers, McCaughey led them to the 2020 Division I state championship. Playing in 10 of their 12 games, the junior threw for 2,708 yards and 28 touchdowns.

He had a school-record 556 yards passing vs. Cleveland St. Ignatius Oct. 3 and threw for 292 yards and four touchdowns in St. Xavier’s running clock rout of Pickerington Central 44-3 in the state title game.

Miami University, Akron, Eastern Kentucky, Toledo, Yale, Ohio University, Bowling Green, Eastern Michigan, Buffalo, Tulane, Columbia, Youngstown State, Fordham, Penn and Kent State have off ered thus far. McCaughey has recently trained with former Cincinnati Bearcat quarterback Tony Pike, who works with several up-and-coming quarterbacks in the area.

“Brogan was phenomenal!” Pike said.

“He’s the complete package really with a big-time arm. He understands the game from a mental standpoint and has the size and ability to make all the throws.”

Another Pike prospect is Lawrenceburg’s Garrett Yoon who performed admirably at the Elite 11 regional in Indianapolis May 2. Yoon fi nished eighth among invited signal-callers from Alabama, Indiana, West Virginia, Tennessee, Ohio, Kansas and Florida among others with a rating of 88.05 in the NFL Combine style workouts.

In 13 games for Coach Ryan Knigga’s Tigers Yoon threw for 2,252 yards and 27 touchdowns while running for 1,083 and 13 scores. Yoon’s interest includes Air Force, Illinois State, Ball State, “He puts up video game numbers with how well he can run the ball and throw it,” Pike said prior to Yoon’s Elite 11 performance. “He’s kind of a victim of

what you saw with Cameron Hergott (another Pike student) at Beechwood where they blow so many teams out that sometimes his numbers get misconstrued because he’s not playing in a half or they’re just running the ball, pounding the rock. He’s got a huge upside.”

After Yoon’s performance, Pike was still upbeat about the Lawrenceburg junior’s day at Indianapolis which presented a diff erent set of conditions.

“He’s asked to do a lot of both in his off ense and excels,” Pike said. “His day

OHSAA asking schools to pay per sport off ered Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS -The Ohio High School Athletic Association Board of Directors has approved a recommendation from OHSAA Executive Director Doug Ute that membership dues be collected beginning with the 2021-22 school year.

The measure, approved by a 9-0 vote by the board May 3, means each high school will contribute $50 per OHSAA sanctioned sport in which the school participates.

“First, I want to thank our board of directors for unanimously approving my recommendation,” Ute said. “I also have received favorable feedback from the majority of the administrators with whom I have conversed at our member schools. Levying membership dues does not change our mission, which is to serve our member schools and enrich interscholastic opportunities for students.

“We traditionally have relied on tournament ticket sales for about 80 percent of our revenue,” Ute said. “That fi nancial model has not been sustainable, and the COVID-19 pandemic has certainly not helped. Levying membership

dues will give us a steady line of income since many of our other lines are variable, and it will help us build a new, more sustainable revenue model. That model, which will help ensure our longterm sustainability, will be a combination of a wider variety of income streams – including these dues – and continued better management of our expenses.”

Total dues for the 2021-22 school year will range from $300 per school to $1,300, depending on the number of OHSAA-sanctioned sports in which a school is participating. The dues will be reviewed annually by an OHSAA Finance Committee and any modifi cations will be recommended to the board by the executive director. In the future, dues will not exceed $100 per sport.

For instance, a school that off ered all 26 OHSAA-sanctioned sports (football, girls volleyball, boys soccer, girls soccer, boys cross country, girls cross country, boys golf, girls golf, girls tennis, fi eld hockey, boys basketball, girls basketball, wrestling, boys swimming and diving, girls swimming and diving, boys bowling, girls bowling, ice hockey, baseball, softball, boys track and fi eld, girls track and fi eld, boys volleyball, boys lacrosse and girls lacrosse) would pay

$1,300 per school year for OHSAA privileges. Many of the Greater Miami Conference schools off er most of those sports.

By comparison, the SBAAC (Southern Buckeye Conference) has 19 off erings ($950), the Greater Catholic League-South has 14 ($700), the Girls Greater Catholic League has 12 ($600) and the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference has 11 ($550). Not every school in every conference off ers every sport, so fees would vary among members.

Levying dues means: h Member schools will no longer pay any tournament entry fees, bowling lineage fees, golf green fees or wrestling weight management fees. The membership due is all-inclusive. h Student scholarships will be reinstated during the 2021-22 school year. h Student catastrophic insurance coverage for all athletes, cheerleaders, student managers and student athletic trainers during in-season and OHSAA tournament practices and contests will continue to be provided at no cost to member schools. h OHSAA will continue to supply all team trophies and/or individual medals for champions, runners-up and other selected place-winners at the district,

regional and state level. h OHSAA will continue to supply rule books, sport manuals, online rules meeting presentations plus other publications and tournament administrator passes at no cost to member schools. h OHSAA will continue to pay high school fees for ArbiterGame accounts. h No membership dues will be levied against member seventh-eighth grade schools.

“We will continue to be open and transparent with our member schools about our fi nancial situation,” Ute said.

“If we are able to adjust dues in the future, we will look to do so. I want to sincerely thank all of our school administrators for their work and eff orts in helping to provide participation opportunities for our student-athletes during these uncertain times, and we appreciate the support they have given us in continuing to conduct our tournaments."

The board previously was presented information on membership dues during both the regularly scheduled Feb. 18 and April 22 board of directors meetings. Ute also hosted three virtual meetings April 5 and 13 with member school administrators to discuss dues and OHSAA fi nances in general.

Ohio State Buckeyes punter Drue Chrisman, a former La Salle High School standout, is signing with the Cincinnati Bengals as an undrafted free agent, Chrisman confi rmed May 1 via Twitter.

In March 2020, Chrisman married his long-time girlfriend. Chrisman proposed to her during halftime of OSU's spring

As a senior this past season, Chrisman was selected by coaches to the AllBig Ten Conference Second Team.

During the regular season, UD Arena is

the home of the University of Dayton Flyers women’s and men’s basketball teams.

UD Arena recently completed a transformation project that was the largest construction eff ort in the university’s history. It is regarded as one of the nation’s premier basketball facilities to go along with fan support that consistently ranks among the best in college basketball.

Prior to its move to UD Arena in March, the OHSAA girls basketball state tournament had been hosted by The Ohio State University every year since its inaugural state tournament in 1976, except in 1986 when it was hosted by the University of Akron.

The OHSAA boys basketball state tournament had been hosted by OSU every year since 1957, except for 1986 and 1987 when it was hosted at UD Arena. The 2021 OHSAA boys basketball state tournament was scheduled to be hosted at OSU’s St. John Arena, but the facility was unavailable due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Numerous other Greater Cincinnati quarterbacks participated in the Elite 11 events. The next nearby competition is

outside of Nashville May 16. Moeller’s Noah Geselbracht recently indicated he would compete there.

The Elite 11 competitions are a who’s who of quarterbacks.

Twenty-four of the NFL’s 32 current starters and 66 of 85 signal-callers on NFL rosters have been part of the event.

Of the 64 Power Five quarterbacks, 61 went to the Elite 11, as did 13 of the last 14 Heisman Trophy quarterbacks.

The names include Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Kyler Murray, Cam Newton, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger and Tua Tagovailoa.

2021 had First Four games in a bubble surrounding Indianapolis. By 2022 DeBolt indicated the girls fi nals would be one weekend, then the court would be fl ipped for the First Four games, then back to boys high school standards for the following weekend. It would be 29 games in 11 days.

This past winter, Mount Notre Dame celebrated at UD Arena with its eighth Ohio Division I girls basketball title.

MND junior KK Bransford was eventually named Ohio Ms. Basketball and will return to Dr. Scott Rogers and the Cougars for one more ride.

“We had a lot of positive feedback and some great games,” DeBolt said of this past season’s limited-capacity tournaments. “Quite honestly it was great to have people back in the building.”

SCHOOL NEWS Three Winton Woods seniors to graduate with associate degrees Three exceptionally hard-working Winton Woods High School students will be collecting more than a high school diploma on May 20.

This incredible trio consists of Mya Jackson, Renaud Noubieptie, and Nicolantonio Prentosito.

They have much to be proud of. The trio has attained a challenging academic achievement by earning enough college credits to obtain an associate’s degree.

While some were inspired to pursue this goal from watching friends, others saw it as an opportunity to get a fi rst-hand experience of college. “I saw a friend working on his associate’s degree while in high school, and I thought I can do that too,” said Noubieptie. Prentosito encouraged students to take advantage of this opportunity. “It is the next step in better preparing for college,” said Prentosito, who became Miami University’s youngest student as an 11-yearold in the eighth grade.

“This responsibility is up to you.”

The students mentioned how taking college courses infl uenced their decision when selecting their major. After taking a sociology class, Mya was so intrigued with the study of human behavior that she decided to major in sociology. “I’m looking forward to learning why people react the way they do.” Advice she would give to students is to “see if you can start taking the courses earlier, even as

companies, foundations, and other business organizations, the recipients were selected from fi nalists in the 2021 National Merit Scholarship Corp.’s scholarship program.

The 16 Tristate seniors were among 1,000 nationally that are receiving scholarships in this fi rst round.

Finalists were selected from more than 1.5 million juniors attending 21,000 high schools nationally who took the 2019 Preliminary SAT/ National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.

The students represent less than one percent of all high school seniors from across the country.

Each of these scholarships is renewable for up

early as 8th grade. Get as many credits as you can and work at a pace you can handle. College work is diff erent. It takes time,” said Jackson.

Prentosito plans to double major in social justice and computer science. “I took Introduction to the Criminal Justice System and Law and the Courts, and the courses were both very interesting. I enjoyed the topics and the robust conversations. Becoming totally immersed in the classes really helped me select the fi eld of law as a future endeavor.”

When asked how Prentosito balanced his school workload, extracurriculars and life, he said, “I go to the class, pay attention, complete the homework with fi delity, and participate in extracurriculars. One thing that I can attest to is that a planner is extremely helpful. It keeps you on track to know when assignments are due.” Prentosito is a National Merit Scholar and plans to become a great lawyer.

“It feels good to almost be done,” said Noubieptie, who started taking college courses in 2019 as a junior. “At fi rst, I thought it was impossible, then I put my mind to it. Then, I saw my friend complete courses, and I thought I can do this, too.

I’m ambitious.” Noubieptie plans to become a philanthropist. “We need each other to survive. I am who I am because of you. Life is about everyone in the world. We cannot keep moving forward while leaving others behind.” Noubieptie plans to double major in computer science and physics with a minor in international aff airs. Advice he would give students is “if you want to accomplish a goal, fi gure out how you’re going to get there and focus.”

Winton Woods City Schools is extremely proud of these students and congratulates them on their success, not only as scholars, but individuals who have grown, persevered, and overcome challenges while

becoming future global leaders. “We are a district that looks forward to awarding students who work hard in the classroom,” said Superintendent Anthony G. Smith.

“Congratulations to the talented trio, Mya Jackson, Renaud Noubieptie, and Nicolantonio Prentosito. You are truly ambassadors for Winton Woods City Schools. We look forward to having more students earn associate’s degrees in the near future.”

Sixteen seniors from 12 Tristate high schools are among 1,000 students nationally who are receiving corporate-sponsored National Merit Scholarships.

The National Honor Society elevates a school’s commitment to the values of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. These four pillars have been associated with membership in the organization since its inception in 1921. Today, it is estimated that more than one million students participate in NHS activities. NHS chapters are found in all 50 states, US Territories, Canada, and around the world. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.

Fully-virtual event raises $600,000-plus With hundreds of viewers watching from homes around Cincinnati and beyond, Rey of Light was a huge success.

The fully-virtual event raised over $600,000 in tuition assistance for DePaul Cristo Rey students.

The entire April 24 event was broadcast from DPCR and began with a Mass celebrated by Father Bill Verbyke, SJ. The program that followed was led by Masters of Ceremonies Siobhan Taylor, DPCR president, and Donald Whittle, a 2020 graduate who’s now a student at the University of Cincinnati. Auctioneer Lance Walker led a live auction of 19 items and a paddle raise specifi cally for scholarships that raised over $313,000.

Bidding continued throughout the evening on more than 200 silent auction items.

The virtual program broadcast was the result of months of behind the scenes work led by co-chairs Cathy Ramstetter, DPCR Board member, and Julie Ross, past member of the Board. It was supported by the generosity of many sponsors including Presenting Sponsors: Fast Park and Relax, a Friend of DePaul Cristo Rey, the Heidt Family Foundation, and the Marge & Charles J Schott Foundation.

This event has been incredibly successful over its nine-year history raising

Oak Hills art students’ work chosen for national exhibition This year, for the fi rst time ever, the American Museum of Ceramic Art in Pomona, Calif., opened its annual juried art exhibition of high-school students’ work to young artists around the country – and the work of two Oak Hills High School students was selected.

Senior Sammie Gerde’s ceramic piece, “Under the Sea,” and junior Riley Ludwig’s work, “Paul” joined artwork from 98 other students across the U.S. in the AMOCA recognition. Both young women are members of Mrs. Bridget Dignan-Cummins’ 3D Studio Art Advanced Placement class.

The goal of the exhibit, which in the past was only open to students from Southern California, is to provide encouragement and an exhibition oppor-

tunity for emerging artists. For both Oak Hills artists, it was a chance to see work they had created primarily for themselves, through the eyes of others. “I didn’t realize how signifi cant it was at fi rst, but when DC (Mrs. Dignan-Cummins) said it was only a hundred kids across the country, I thought, ‘It’s kind of a big deal,’” Sammie said.

Both students have enrolled in a variety of art courses at Oak Hills. They say their teacher’s use of “sustained investigation” – where students choose a focus for their artwork for the year – helped shape their award-winning pieces. Riley’s imaginative “Paul” candleholder refl ects her theme of whimsy.

Sammie’s pitcher with tentacles and a sense of movement refl ect her themes of texture, functionality and decoration.

National recognition -- particularly on Oak Hills’ fi rst try in this competition – was a source of pride for their teacher as well. “My overall reaction was, ‘Eek, oh my goodness, y’all got in!” Mrs. Dignan-Cummins said. “It isn’t every day that your students’ work gets to this level.”

First-ever Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament at C.O. Harrison Elementary

Kindergartener Ian Fossett and third-grader Cara Boitman battle it out in the semifi nals of C.O. Harrison’s fi rst-ever Rock, Paper, Scissors Championship.

PROVIDED

C.O. Harrison Elementary School found a safe way to hold a schoolwide tournament in the midst of a pandemic – the school’s fi rst-ever Rock, Paper, Scissors Championship.

The tournament, which coincided with March Madness, was held over a three-week period. The fi rst round was homeroom competition. The second round was grade-level competition with one winner from each grade-level competing in the fi nal round, held the day after the NCAA fi nals.

In a best-of-three competition held in Principal Brian Conners’ offi ce – with the entire school watching via Google Meet – fourth grader Emerson Zinser survived a tough match with kindergarten champion Ian Fossett to take home the championship, along with a champion’s ring to rival those of Super Bowl winners.

“This was a chance to have a little fun while social distancing,” Mr. Conners said. “We’re looking forward to it being an annual event.”
