‘IT’S MORE THAN A HAIRCUT’ Black barbershops, salons talk about the importance of community

Segann March Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

During a normal week at Precision Blendz Barbershop in Mount Healthy, black men of all ages gather around for hours to talk about business, sports, fashion, race issues, health, and education in their communities. It’s a barbershop where clients go in for haircuts and leave with a mountain of knowledge. Those days are now scarce due to COVID-19 regulations and changes in how shops operate and interact with clients. Owner and barber Tommy Mays said he misses watching the older men tell their stories to inspire younger men. He said moments like these bring everyone together. “Visiting your barbershop is important because it’s a one-stop-shop,” Mays said. “It’s more than just a haircut. It’s a part of our culture. You get a whole experience coming into a barbershop and now there’s a big gap.” Many salons and barbershops are only accepting scheduled appointments now, limiting the number of people in the shop at one time. Prior to the pandemic, it was normal for clients to visit bi-weekly as opposed to every six to eight weeks. Alethia Williams, owner of Glamour Braid Salon in Westwood, said salons and barbershops will always be sacred in the black community and are safe havens. Trust is essential for both the client and stylist, she said. Oftentimes, Williams will talk with clients about their wedding anniversaries, family and work-life, and diﬀ erent events happening in the community. “People think the black community is not professional, but we are,” Williams said. “We’re pillars of the community and we have to make sure we’re there to be an outlet for someone. Many of our clients see us as therapists.”

Bouncing back The pandemic also stifl ed these black businesses fi nancially for two months, leaving many owners scrambling to upkeep expenses while working to stay connected to individual clients. Williams said it’s going to take a lot of resources and time to bounce back from the two-month closure. She used her savings to keep things afl oat. “It’s going to take a while because you still have to pay current and past charges for your business,” Willams explained. “You still have to work to put that money back. Eight weeks is a long time with no income coming in. Just because bills are paid right now, doesn’t See BARBERSHOPS , Page 2A

mean they’ll be paid tomorrow.” Mays said it took two months for the U.S. Small Business Administration to get everything in order for the Paycheck Protection Program. The federal loan program was created to provide incentives for small business to keep their workers on the payroll. SBA will forgive loans if all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities. “They’re just now getting everything in order,” Mays said. “You have small mom and pop restaurants that are also struggling. If you’re going to tell us to shut-down, there’s got to be a plan (in place) to get us some money.”

Alethia S. Williams, owner of the Glamour Braid Salon in the Glenway Crossing Shopping Center, said when salons are allowed to reopen May 15, she will close her waiting area, and customers will be given a pager to notify them when they can come inside. CARA OWSLEY/THE ENQUIRER

If you’ve seen a red-eyed, 17-year cicada of the sort you weren’t expecting until next year, you’re not seeing things. Some of the Brood X insects, apparently tiring of their life underground, are pushing through the warming earth early. “Parts of Greater Cincinnati are seeing a few one-year-early periodical cicadas,” Gene Kritsky, dean of behavioral and natural sciences at Mount St. Joseph University, said. “What most people will see will be the occasional cicada shell on trees around their yards, because the adults are eaten by predators as soon as they appear.” Kritsky, who has studied cicadas for nearly 40 years, said there are reports of the cicadas in Delhi Township, Dent, and Finneytown. They’ve also been spotted in College Hill. Kritsky and other researchers would like to know how widespread the appearance of early cicadas are in the area – and how widespread the appearance of the cicadas and other cicada broods are elsewhere. They are hoping people will download a free app called Cicada Safari at an app store. It allows users to submit photos and videos of cicada shells and

adult cicadas they ﬁ nd. Kritsky created the app with the help of the Center for Information Technology Engagement at Mount St. Joseph University in Delhi Township. “We are asking people throughout the eastern United States to submit periodical cicada photographs to help us get a better understanding of what is happening this year,” Kritsky said. For example, Kritsky said, scientists had been focused on this year’s expected heavy emergence of the 17-year, Brood IX cicadas in southern West Virginia, western Virginia and northwestern North Carolina. Then, they began receiving reports via the Cicada Safari app of cicadas being spotted in Georgia. As more reports were received, Kritsky said, it became clear that the Georgia cicadas were 13year, Brood XIX cicadas coming out four years early. That got the researchers’ attention. Especially when Cicada Safari users reported appearances of the 13-year, Brood XIX cicadas in Virginia, eastern North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Missouri and Illinois. “Four-year-early emergences are well documented with 17-year cicadas, but early 13-year cicadas have not been thoroughly studied,” Kritsky said.

U.S. Marshalls arrested a man in Franklin County on May 26 in connection to a February homicide in West End, oﬃ cials said. Ricardo Maxwell Jr., 27, was being held at the Franklin County Jail – when this article was originally published – on a murder warrant pending extradition, according to a release from Cincinnati police. On Feb. 17 police were dispatched to

the 600 block of Wade Street for a report of a person shot. Two victims were located at the scene and transported to University of CincinMaxwell nati Medical Center. Police said one of the victims, Mister M. Williams, was pronounced dead. He was 24. Police had not released the name of the surviving victim when this article was origisnally published.

Pandemic dampening pool openings Ian McKenzie Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

With social distancing and cautious cleaning, pools are going to look diﬀ erent in Cincinnati this summer. Only seven of the 24 Cincinnati public pools will be open starting June 8 because of coronavirus restrictions. They are: Dunham, Evanston, Hirsch, McKie, Oakley, Pleasant Ridge and Price Hill. Most of these pools,except McKie, are wheelchair accessible, according to the Cincinnati Recreation Commission’s website. The seven pools were selected based on how many lifeguards were returning for the summer, CRC director Daniel Betts said. The pools will be open weekdays from noon until 7 p.m. and on the weekends from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. There is no evidence that COVID-19 can spread between people through pool, hot tub or water playgrounds, according to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Disinfection of the water should kill the virus that causes COVID-19. “Spraygrounds” for children will not be opening on June 8 because they need staﬀ members to monitor them. Betts hopes that some, if not all of the spraygrounds will be able to open later in the summer. He also hopes to open three or four additional pools. Betts said he knew he could open those pools safely, but he was hesitant to open any more. “We do not want to put a single person at risk,” Betts said. Getting a pool ready for the summer can take three or four weeks in a normal year, Betts said. But Gov. Mike DeWine announced that pools could reopen a little over a week before the open date, which didn’t give Betts enough time. The maintenance employees were only brought back recently from being laid, Betts said. Training for lifeguards can start as early as February. The Cincinnati Recreation Commission almost always needs more lifeguards, Betts said. The situation will be examined and evaluated, and if there are enough lifeguards and it looks life more pools can be opened safely, they will be, Betts said. The concern with opening pools is

not as much that the virus can transmit through water, but that people will be in close proximity without wearing masks, said Rob Smith, supervising sanitarian for the Cincinnati Health Department. Masks are recommended to be worn while on the pool deck and interacting

with other guests. It is, however, recommended that masks be taken oﬀ before swimming as wet masks can cause difﬁ cult breathing, according to an order from DeWine and Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton. Swimmers are instructed to not gather in groups larger than 10.

Social distancing of at least six feet is required both in and out of pools and disciplined cleaning of facilities is required. Restrooms and public areas must be cleaned every two hours. If a swimmer has a confi rmed COVID-19 case, the health district should be contacted about exposures. The pool should be shut down for a deep sanitation, if possible, according to the order. The city of Cheviot announced on May 5 the decision to close the municipal swimming pool for the entire 2020 season. This is because of the social distancing orders as well as the concern of the health and safety for the community. The Cheviot Municipal Pool would have opened on June 30 with two managers and about 10 lifeguards. Sharonville announced that the Aquatics Center will open June 8. Details about policies and operating changes will be announced soon, Debra O’Toole, an administration and fi nance employee for the city, said. The village of Evendale does not have an opening date for its pool as of Tuesday, May 26. The village of Greenhills, opened their pool on May 26, the fi rst day pools were allowed to be opened. The pool at Greenhills specifi es that social distancing is up to each person as pool employees will not be policing distancing. Greenhills will have three swim sessions per day: one from noon until 3 p.m., one from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m. and one from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. People are encouraged to register to attend one of the sessions as only a limited number of walk-ins will be allowed. Up to 98 people can be in a session. Smith said he has seen ideas about scheduling diff erent groups to be able to get in the pool for a certain amount of time, similar to reservations. In between these reservations, pool employees would clean and sanitize. People can only attend one session per day and sessions can be scheduled 14 days in advance.Pool chairs will be disinfected between each session and hand sanitizing stations will be installed at the pool’s entrance.

Have you ever made shakshuka? Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

“Have you ever made shakshuka?” This query from a couple I met while at Natorp’s greenhouse working in the herb section. I had just persuaded them to try Vietnamese cilantro, which thrives in our hot, humid Tristate. It doesn’t bolt to seed, which regular cilantro will do in the heat. We were chatting about ways to use cilantro and that’s how the shakshuka question came up. The classic version is seasoned with cilantro. Yes, I’ve made my own version from the New York Times and promised I’d share it here. So what is shakshuka? An exotic name for an easy North African/Middle Eastern combo of poached eggs, tomatoes, onions, spices and Feta. Good for any meal. A bonus is shakshuka’s versatility. If you have eggs and tomatoes, you’re in. The recipe calls for whole canned tomatoes. Swap diced fresh or diced canned. No Feta? Goat or your favorite cheese works. Yummy with warm pitas. OK, you can do this, so go a little bold and give shakshuka a try!

Fans speak: See FC Cincinnati’s seating bowl design Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

FC Cincinnati fans have seen renderings of what the outside of the stadium looks like, a few glimpses of what the clubs will look like and now, for the fi rst – as chosen by fans – there’s a picture of what the seating bowl will look like. After a week of voting on four possible designs, with more than 5,000 responses, fans chose the solid blue seating with orange seats forming Gary the Lion, the team’s logo. Of the votes, 95% of fans picked one of the two designs featuring Gary, with the winning navybased design getting 55% of the total votes. After the contest was launched, fan feedback led the team to add FCC letters on the south side of the stadium. “There has been a steady groundswell of organic support for the winged lion in our logo. Even his name originated from our supporters and fans – before our MLS logo was even formally released,” said FCC President Jeff Berding. “The fact that they so unanimously favored designs with Gary means a lot to us as a club. When West End Stadium opens next spring, Gary will become an iconic symbol of our club and stadium around the world – and our supporters will have played a valuable role in the design.” The stadium has an offi cial capacity of 26,000, including 4,500 club seats, a little over 17,000 regular seats and 3,100 spaces in The Bailey. The team has not yet released details related to regular seating. Only season tickets for club seats are on sale at the moment.

Pictured is a rendering of the new FC Cincinnati stadium seating bowl design chosen by fans. After a week of voting on four possible designs, fans chose the solid blue seating with orange seats forming the team’s logo. PROVIDED/FC CINCINNATI

Seating options Tunnel Club, where season tickets cost up to $10,000 (roughly $588 per game over 17 games). These seats are between the player’s benches, right at midﬁ eld. At 22-inches across, they are extra wide, with cup holders. Think movie theater-esque without reclining. Food and drinks will be brought right to the seats. Pitch View Tunnel, where season tickets cost up to $3,200 (roughly $188 per game). These seats oﬀ er the best view to see the play develop. There’s a view from the seats or inside the club. But if you’re sitting, these seats are 21-inches wide

and padded, with armrests. They are 38-inches high. Cincinnatus Club, where season tickets cost up to $1,700 ($100 per

game). These are on the western side, which will always be shaded. These seats are also 21-inches wide, with cup holders.

FC Cincinnati garage moves forward

The seat isn’t as high at 34-inches tall, more like a typical stadium seat. First Financial Club, where season tickets cost up to $1,000 (roughly $59 per game). These seats are in the largest club, which is designed to look like a historic Cincinnati beer hall. Inside there will be communal high-top tables and chairs. These on the east side of the stadium, with a padded seat and back. The cup holders are on the back of the seat in the row in front. What about The Bailey? These cost $340 for the season ($20 per game) and aren’t considered seats. The Bailey will almost double in size, to 3,100 spaces. These are safe-standing spaces, with railings and cup holders, but no seats. This is a trend in Major League Soccer, with LA FC, Minnesota United and Orlando City using this type of space for fans. The team is collecting deposits for club seats. It is oﬀ ering refunds or to roll over for 2021 the cost of tickets, plus a 10% bonus on the transferred amount for any 2020 matches that are cancelled or played without fans.

FC Cincinnati’s 850-space garage moved forward May 22. The Cincinnati Planning Commission unanimously approved the development plan for the garage to be built on the former Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses directly north of the stadium. The garage is expected to open by April 1, 2021. Construction on the stadium in the West End is ongoing and slated to open March 2021. Hamilton County is paying for the garage, which is expected to cost $17 million. The county is also building an

additional 300 spaces near Findlay Market. The ﬁ ve-story garage will have entrances on John Street and Central Avenue. It’ll have 833 spaces for vehicles and

27 spaces reserved for bikes, electric charging stations and operational maintenance. Under terms of a deal struck in December between Hamilton County and FC Cincinnati, the team would get 85

percent of parking revenue on game days from the 830-850 space garage at Wade and John streets in the West End. There are 17 home games on FCC’s 2020 schedule, which is typical of future schedules.

The school I know, where students rely on courage Your Turn Elizabeth Thole Guest Columnist

In his recent guest column “The school I remember,” published May 14, Hal McFarland laments the loss of the Western Hills High School that he remembers from his teaching days. Mr. McFarland would be wise to remember that things seen through the rear-view mirror are often distorted.

Like Mr. McFarland, I too have devoted many years to teaching at West High. Next year will be year 33. I’d like to invite him to see the school I know. Our halls are still very much ﬁ lled with bright eyes and bright ambitions. What’s even more miraculous, though, is that these hopes and ambitions rise out of often unimaginable life circumstances. Our students’ successes are the result of grit, determination, and pure courage.

We still have the spring ritual of the Daisy Chain, and even now have included young men with a parallel organization. Each spring we still line up along Ferguson Road and march into the school, leading the graduating seniors for the Class Day program. We still have energetic teachers. I am lucky to work with professionals who are the best in the game. Our job is made harder, however, by the fact that the surrounding community has largely abandoned the school. Some people

cannot seem to see beyond the fact that the students look diﬀ erent than they did in the ‘60s and ‘70s when West High was overwhelmingly white and middle class. Despite the challenges and changes, West High is still a place that nurtures dreams and ambitions. Those of us who work there do not really have time to long for some past rosy memory. We are busy meeting students where they are and taking them farther than they could have imagined.

Elder head football coach Doug Ramsey watches the football team do conditioning on May 28. PHOTOS BY TONY TRIBBLE FOR THE ENQUIRER

Elder football players do conditioning at The Pit.

PRICE HILL - Not quite six months after exiting the ﬁ eld in Canton unhappy with a loss in the Ohio Division I state championship, Elder football players were on a ﬁ eld again sprinting in 80-degree heat May 27. Their walk from the Panther Athletic Complex was taped out for them in 6foot increments, by order of the latest restrictions related to the coronavirus. Outside of the fact that the tape was blue, it was purple pandemonium as the classes of 2021, 2022 and 2023 marched into The Pit with cleated feet. Some were still smarting from last year’s 21-14 loss to Pickerington Central while some were making post-workout pool plans in 6-foot socially distant shouts. All were happy to be together in an athletic endeavor not involving their thumbs. “It’s exciting to be back with the team; it’s been so long,” tight end David Larkins said. “Why not us? Just because

we lost so many people, so many highrated guys, why can’t we make a run for state again? Larkins played behind current Ohio State tight end Joe Royer. Oﬀ ensive lineman Luke Kandra went to Louisville and fellow road-grader Jakob James is with Royer at Ohio State. Toledo-bound lineman Drew Beckenhaupt will now step in as a senior leader and is likewise giddy about the current re-start. “I’m just ready for the season to start up,” Beckenhaupt said. “I missed it a lot. When they shut it down and we were gone for two months, I missed it every day. I love being out here in The Pit. This stadium is one of the best around.” Beckenhaupt will be among the Panthers blocking for the elusive Drew Ramsey. The youngest of coach Doug Ramsey’s sons will be a junior moving back to his natural position of quarterback. As a sophomore in the state ﬁ nal See ELDER, Page 2B

FAMU hires Taylor product Pillow as coach Rory Sharrock Tallahassee Democrat and Scott Springer Tallahassee Democrat USA TODAY NETWORK

After a long and investigative search, Florida A&M has conﬁ rmed the hiring of Taylor High School product Shalon Pillow as the women’s basketball head coach. Pillow is a native of Addyston, Ohio and former player under Hall of Famer Pat Summitt at Tennessee. Summitt recruited Pillow out of Taylor after winning the seventh of her eight NCAA championships at Cincinnati’s thenRiverfront Coliseum. Pillow was a Nike and Parade AllAmerican, averaging 22.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 4.1 blocks and 3 steals as a 6-foot-3 senior center. She was also one of USA Today’s top 20 scholastic players and a Naismith Award ﬁ nalist. At Tennessee, Pillow played with

legends Chamique Holdsclaw and Tamika Catchings and briefl y with Mason’s Michelle Munoz who later transferred to Ohio State. Pillow played in 108 career games with the Lady Vols, including four consecutive NCAA appearances and two Final Fours. She spent the past fi ve seasons as an assistant on the bench of fellow Hall of Famer Rick Insell at Middle Tennessee State. Prior to Middle Tennessee, she was on the University of Kentucky staff helping the Lady Wildcats to fi ve NCAA appearances and three Elite Eight showings. Pillow also coached at Hofstra and South Florida, as well as her prep alma mater Taylor after her playing career. According to FAMU Vice President/ Director of Athletics Kortne Gosha, the stipulations of Pillow’s contract are See PILLOW, Page 2B

Reds Urban Youth Academy players sign with colleges Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

On a Zoom ceremony May 26, the Cincinnati Reds and Reds Community Fund announced the college signings of more than a dozen RBI baseball and softball players from the P&G MLB Cincinnati Reds Urban Youth Academy. The ceremony, which was emceed by FOX Sports Ohio Broadcaster Jim Day, included Reds Community Fund Executive Director Charley Frank, Reds President and Chief Operating Offi cer Phil Castellini, Reds President of Baseball Operations Dick Williams and Reds infi elder Alex Blandino. “We have been not only trying to focus on baseball and softball, but also on education,” Frank said. “We’ve really taken huge strides in doing so. Our goal really is to get kids not just to the fi nish line in high school, but beyond. Whether that means moving on to college, the military, the workforce, we want them to move to that next level successfully.” Here are the players from the Reds Urban Youth Academy who signed to play in college: Ryan Atkins, Gilbert A.

still being fi nalized. This position with the Rattlers marks her fi rst time serving as a head coach. “It’s just a blessing. Only a handful of people get this opportunity. There’s only so many Division I schools in the NCAA. To have the opportunity to run a Division I program is amazing,” Pillow said. “Everything I’ve done has prepped me for this position. My dad was my coach on every level from third grade to high school. Being a coach’s kid started my prep early. Having the opportunity to play for Pat Summitt at UT is a once in a lifetime opportunity. To play for a Hall of Famer, coach with a Hall of Famer in Rick Insell and other stops along the way have all prepped me.” The interview process for all candidates was done via Zoom. Gosha reviewed résumé submissions of applicants from all over the country. Their background included Division I, II, junior college and high school. His main objective was to bring in a person with championship experience. Equally as important for Gosha was maintaining the winning environment of FAMU women’s basketball in off the-court matters. “We’re excited to get to this point with coach Shalon Pillow,” Gosha said. “Her résumé was strong. We’re excited about what she’ll bring to FAMU. There’s something to be said for someone who has associations with Tennessee women’s basketball and several Elite 8 and Final Four appearances.” Pillow knows there are several challenges ahead at FAMU.

Kevin Lynum closed out the last fi ve regular-season games and fi rst-round MEAC tournament match versus Howard. Lynum was promoted to head coach in August 2019 with a one-year contract. These moves were all made by former FAMU athletics director John Eason. In April, Gosha declined to renew Lynum’s contact. This past season, FAMU went 6-21 and 4-12 in the MEAC. Pillow was introduced to the returning players through a video conference. She plans to speak with them individually in the coming days to build a rapport. “Florida A&M has a lot of potential. We’re a good group of women. With some skill development, consistency and tweaks, we’ll be able to get some wins and build a successful program. Something that’s every year, not something that’s here and there,” she said. The coronavirus pandemic has changed the dynamics of recruiting. She plans to be resourceful in using technology to counter the inability to meet in person with players. Pillow is confi dent she can lure top in-state and outside talent. “There’s a lot of good local kids around Tallahassee and the Panhandle. Across the border in Georgia – that state’s loaded with talent. We have the resources to get things rolling,” she said. Pillow’s basketball background includes assistant coaching positions at Kentucky, Hofstra and South Florida. She also worked as Camp Director and Event Operator for the Ohio Girls Basketball Report.

Met golf championships to go on as scheduled James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

June was set up to be a month of “Majors” for the Greater Cincinnati Golf Association, and it still is. After months of uncertainty due to the coronavirus, the area’s biggest youth and amateur golf tournaments will go on as scheduled after the Ohio state government allowed competition in golf and other noncontact sports beginning May 26. Many golf courses had gradually reopened in recent weeks with safety restrictions in place. Social-distancing guidelines and safety protocols to eliminate physical touching will be in eﬀ ect for all tournaments. “We’re excited to get back to work and get back on the courses,” said Todd Johnson, the executive director of the GCGA. “Our main focus the last couple of months is seeing the courses maintain their memberships and agronomy, so tournaments have all of a sudden popped up for us.” The tournaments begin with the 1905 Junior Tour, which starts May 30 at Wildwood Golf Club in Middletown. The tour runs through July 10, which include the Metropolitan junior championships June 8-9 at Shaker Run Golf Club. Major adult tournaments are also right around the

corner. The Northern Kentucky Amateur Championship is June 2-4 at Lassing Pointe. Registration deadline is May 26. The Metropolitan Women’s Amateur Championship is June 10-11 at Wetherington Golf and Country Club, and the 111th Tony Blom Amateur Men’s Championship is June 22-27 at Heritage Club and Shaker Run. The Met senior championship is July 6-7 at Summit Hills Country Club. “The tournaments are a service for our membership,” Johnson said. “I’m excited that they’ll be able to play because most other sports have a lot of restrictions. We haven’t had to cancel anything. Everything in April and May was postponed, then rescheduled. The Met is our U.S. Open, our version of a national championship.” Safety restrictions will be in place. Keeping six feet apart will be required and congregating in tee boxes is discouraged. Golf traditions such as exchanging scorecards, handshakes, high-ﬁ ves and trophy presentations are not allowed. Golfers should bring their own refreshments and each competitor will be allowed only one spectator, though a course has the right to ban all spectators. Other golf course staples such as rakes and ball

washers no longer exist. “Each course will handle things diﬀ erently,” Johnson said. “Some courses won’t allow spectators, some courses won’t allow touch points such as tents. We’re used to having a routine and having every tournament run the same way, so we’ll have to adjust.” Johnson said enforcing social distancing on the course will be a new challenge for everyone. “Our biggest obstacle is monitoring people, seeing that they’re staying apart,” he said. “We won’t be using volunteers to full capacity for a few weeks, so we won’t have as many people out there seeing what’s going on. Kids like to walk together on the fairways, so we have to make sure they’re not doing that.” As of Thursday, the Northern Kentucky Amateur had 64 entries and Johnson hopes to get more than 80. The Met tourneys are just starting to take entries. The women’s deadline is June 3 and men’s June 15. Johnson said it’s too soon to tell how the uncertainties over the novel coronavirus will aﬀ ect turnout for the tourneys. “The junior tour will probably be more attended because they’re probably not going to travel as much,” Johnson said. “With the adult tournaments, it’s hard to say right now because they’re going back to work and I don’t know if some of them will be able to.”

SCHOOL NEWS

Hospital staff at Christ Hospital display letters of thanks from eighth graders at The Summit Country Day School. PROVIDED

Summit eighth-graders send letters of hope to front line Eight graders at The Summit Country Day School have been participating in a service-learning project called Donating Hope which challenged them to write meaningful and heart-felt letters related to the current health crisis. Students have been writing letters of gratitude and hope to front line workers at Christ Hospital, UC Medical Center, Kroger grocery stores and residents of long-term care facilities. The project is a cross curricular, involving religion and English, and gives the students an authentic experience to learn about the impact of the coronavirus health crisis on society and provide service relevant to it. The project called upon students to review the third and fourth principals of Catholic Social Teaching. The third principal of Catholic Social teaching deals with rights and responsibilities. Students were asked to consider that for every right they had, there is a corresponding responsibility to ensure that every other person has access to the same right. Applying this to the health crisis, students were asked to consider that front-line workers in hospitals and grocery stories were putting their own lives at risk to fulﬁ ll these rights for the larger society.

The fourth principal of Catholic Social Teaching deals with the poor and the vulnerable and the division between prosperity and poverty. The principal asserts that God instructs all people to put the needs of the poor and vulnerable ﬁ rst. Students were asked to consider how the health crisis has aﬀ ected the elderly in health care facilities, who are feeling isolated because visitors are restricted. Students also were encouraged to write a letter or send an uplifting video to their own grandparents or older relatives. Nancy Berlier, The Summit Country Day School

Summit students ﬁ nd potential through character leadership Character leadership takes on a unique meaning for Summit Country Day School students Annette and Grace LaLonde during this coronavirus pandemic. In addition to adapting their learning styles to the remote environment, the Indian Hill sisters have taken on parttime volunteering roles making masks for staﬀ at UC Health, TriHealth, Mercy Health, nursing and senior care facilities, the Ronald McDonald House, the Lighthouse, Tender Mercies and the Freestore Foodbank.

Summit students Annette, left, and Grace LaLonde have taken on part-time volunteering roles making masks for staff at UC Health, TriHealth, Mercy Health, nursing and senior care facilities, the Ronald McDonald House, the Lighthouse, Tender Mercies and the Freestore Foodbank. PROVIDED

The project began in April when their father, Greg, of the Polar3D Company, teamed up with start-up fi rm Cintrifuse to convert a co-working space in Over The Rhine to a mask manufacturing company. The Beer Hall Mask Factory formally opened its doors on April 2 and produces more than 500 masks a day. Annette and Grace balance their time between schoolwork and lending a hand in the production of the personal protective equipment. “I feel honored to contribute to the project because I am making a diff erence in my community to beat this virus,” Annette said. “Waking up at 6 a.m. is a little diff erent, but it is rewarding to do something to help others.” Grace, a senior at The Summit, should be preparing for senior prom and

the pomp and circumstance that would normally go with graduating as a Summit ‘Lifer.’ Instead, she is dedicating her time to monitoring the production of molded masks in the hope of making a positive impact on someone’s life. “I am contributing to something and a cause bigger than myself,” she said. “I want to serve my community as much as I can. Balancing assembling the masks, school and life in general is somewhat diﬃ cult but also fun because it is a new task every day unlike my typical day-in, day-out schedule of school and sports.” All the masks are being donated and all 3D printers used in this relief eﬀ ort will be donated to area schools. Lisa Cox, The Summit Country Day School
