An older man has died after a house fire that happened around 10 p.m
in Seven Hills on Thursday at a house on Ridgewood Drive
Pastor Chris Helton told News 5 that he was taking his garbage up the driveway to the curb when he noticed an orange glow inside one of the house windows
“I just pray that he was received into the arms of God's mercy and embraced by that eternal love," Helton said
but it did draw out one of the neighbors," Helton said
The two proceeded to go around and try all the other doors
“When the window started to shatter from the heat of the fire
Seven Hills Fire Chief James Meklemburg told News 5 that when his crew arrived
they encountered heavy fire from the front of the house
Neighbors said that there was an elderly male that lived at that home
and they thought that he was probably at home at that time," Meklemberg said
Meklemberg said firefighters went inside and searched the home
They were able to find the male lying on the floor," said Chief Meklemberg
"They were able to pull him out of the house
Firefighters pulled the man from the home and began CPR…they rushed him to an awaiting ambulance…unfortunately the man passed away before they could even drive away
it's just a tough way to start the year," said Meklemberg
to start a year off with a death in a house fire is pretty rough."
Helton told News 5 they did all they could to save their neighbor
“I think we have to trust ourselves to God's grace
Trust our neighbor to that same grace," said Helton
"Lift him up in prayer and just pray that God will embrace him in divine love
and he'll heal anything that is broken or wounded and grant him eternal life
So that was certainly my prayer last night.”
“[He was] one of those good neighbors who doesn't cause any trouble
The fire chief says the cause of the fire is still unknown
and the state fire marshal has been called in to investigate
They also don't know the cause of the man's death
CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Terrance Yarbrough and Reagan Licata are two of the best to ever put on a Seven Hills basketball uniform
The two dynamic Stingers spent their high school careers scoring buckets
and recently reached a milestone all high school basketball players strive to achieve
during a 27-point scoring night against Lockland
Yarbrough reached the 1,000-point milestone
"After putting all that work over the last four years
and especially to have the support from Coach (Willie) Hill and all my teammates
It was just a great feeling to do it."
Yarbrought wasn't the only Seven Hills player to reach the 1,000 point mark this season
"It felt like a breath of fresh air," said Licata
Said Yarbrough: "After I hit (1,000 points)
The Seven Hills stars have been side-by-side their whole high school careers
The two friends practice at the same place
and are at each other's games showing support
and I've never seen that happen in my career here," said Hill
it's great to see both of them get at it in and around the same time."
Said Seven Hills girls' basketball coach Jennifer Burgoyne: "It just goes to show the hard work that they put in in the off-season
and the hard work they put in every single day in practice

The Seven Hills School will close its Doherty Campus in East Walnut Hills in three years
Seven Hills is a private K-12 school and preschool with two campuses
the Doherty Campus for preschool and elementary children only and another campus
The Doherty Campus spans five acres and is home to a lower school for children in preschool through fifth grade
the school serves more than 1,000 children on both campuses
But the board of trustees decided Tuesday to close the Doherty campus by the 2027-28 school year
consolidating all Seven Hills students to the Hillsdale Campus on Red Bank Road in Madisonville
which includes merging two lower schools into one
"Unifying the two Lower Schools will combine the best aspects of Doherty’s and Lotspeich’s culture, traditions, and programs and provide both schools with more teachers, balanced classroom size for all students and teachers, and more activities and resources," a Wednesday letter from Matthew Bolton
"Our plan is to build a forward-looking state-of-the-art Lower School on the Hillsdale Campus that will set the standard in early education for our region and for the next 50 years of Seven Hills’ history."
Who made the decision to consolidate?Conversations about consolidation have spanned several years
and mainly centered around deferred maintenance at the lower schools and shifting enrollment
But those conversations have been limited to the school's 24 board members
which include current parents and alumni from both campuses
and a task force of 20 people who studied the school's two-campus model
The task force was made up of former board chairs
current and former board members and alumni
director of communications and marketing at Seven Hills
confirmed to The Enquirer that the school never hosted open information sessions or sought feedback from the greater community of Seven Hills parents during that time
The board made the decision to move forward with consolidation on Tuesday
"An incredible amount of thought and due diligence went into this process
and this transformational plan sets the school up for success for decades to come," Lair Kennedy
What does this mean for current students and families?The consolidation will not result in any faculty or staff reductions
fourth and fifth grades won't be impacted by the change as they will have already transitioned to the middle school by the time the new lower school opens
The Taft Early Childhood Center on the Hillsdale Campus will be expanded
and all early childhood students and teachers will move to that center during the 2026-27 school year
The new lower school on the Hillsdale Campus will open the following year
and house all Seven Hills kids in grades 1-5
More information about the transition can be found on the district's website
new concept from the prolific hospitality enterprise
But in this case it means an older concept must go, which means Seven Hills is saying goodbye to its Mexican restaurant, El Cocinero, in the heart of midtown Tallahassee. The group announced the news on its Facebook page Monday evening
with limited operating hours leading up to its final day
This latest closure adds to the list of storefronts that already have bid farewell from Midtown over the last year
"We have decided that Cocinero’s time has come to an end
and we are beyond thankful," the post said
"We will begin renovating the space for a new concept that we have been wanting and waiting to bring to Tallahassee for over 10 years
We can’t wait to reopen our doors very soon!"
Patrons reacted in the comment section with a mix of emotions
but excited to see the new concept." Another said
We love sitting at your bar with the best margaritas and tacos in town
Unaffected by the closure are the rest of the Seven Hills operations:
What: El Cocinero's final days of operation
