‘What did we do to deserve this?’

Ohio family recounts dream home nightmare James Pilcher and Liz Dufour Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

MILFORD, Ohio – When Michael and Tasha Amos moved into their newlybuilt house in wooded Clermont County in 2017, the couple with two little kids and another on the way believed it was their dream home.

But the problems started the fi rst day they moved in after closing the deal with Ryan Homes: the knob fell off the front door and the deadbolt wouldn’t lock.

Then they noticed their mailbox was installed in the middle of the yard instead of at the end of the driveway.

Now the home has been deemed unsafe to live in thanks to a series of repairs to an uneven fl oor that might have weakened the structure, despite the company that built the home off ering a warranty for its work.

“Just this week, our son said, ‘I want to move back to our old house,’” a tearful Michael said. “That’s not fair to them.”

Said Tasha: “What did our kids do to deserve this? What did we do to deserve this?”

Like many others interviewed as part of a national USA TODAY Network investigation, Ryan Homes off ered the Amoses a chance to settle their diff erSee HOUSE, Page 2A

Ever been to Newtonsville? Better hurry; may not be there long Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

If you want to say you’ve visited Newtonsville, Ohio, now’s the time.

The 181-year-old village might not exist in a few weeks.

The town’s 400 residents were scheduled to vote on Nov. 5, whether to remain a village - or melt into surrounding Wayne Township (visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates).

Faced with fi nancial diffi culties, Newtownsville could join a growing number of small towns voting themselves out of existence across Ohio.

It’s not even the only village voting on its very being this November in this

The Newtonsville Municipal building also houses the police department, in the small village of Newtonsville, Ohio.

will vote on whether they still want to be Amelians.

If they decide the time is up, both villages will be absorbed by their surrounding townships, a process that could take years.

The number of small towns dying has been increasing as costs rise and village revenue dips. An Enquirer analysis of statewide election results shows 12 small towns across Ohio have gone defunct in the past 15 years; seven of those have voted since 2013.

Amelia is a metropolis compared to Newtonsville and the cities that have disbanded in recent years. All but one of the 12 defunct Ohio towns had a population under 500.

ences – if they agreed to mediation and to sign a non-disclosure agreement prohibiting them from talking about their problems publicly.

But the couple refused because they say the company would not put in writing what it planned to do ahead of time.

The Amoses said others in their neighborhood had similar problems but settled, and therefore cannot talk publicly about it.

Ryan is part of the nation’s fourthlargest home-building company, one that earns more than $800 million a year in profi ts. Ryan’s parent, NVR Inc., is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange with shares going for more than $3,700 apiece.

NVR and Ryan offi cials declined to comment for this story and on the Amoses’ case.

Ryan’s legal tactics are in the spotlight as disgruntled customers such as the Amoses are fi ghting back against the practice of forced or binding arbitration and non-disclosure agreements before any repairs are done, prohibiting those homeowners from discussing any repairs after the fact.

“We believe we shouldn’t have to sign a confi dentiality agreement as we are being fi nancially harmed due to their actions and negligence,” Michael Amos said, adding that local Ryan offi cials halted all communication once the couple hired a lawyer.

Tasha recalls a contractor telling them that they “had way bigger issues than you think you do,” soon after they moved in.

Two years after they moved in, the Amos’ problems remain, including: ❚ Structural issues caused when workers cut fl oor joists in the basement to try and level the fl oors. ❚ Electrical wiring that is not up to code. ❚ Floors that remain uneven – golf

(The windows have even frozen over, preventing them from letting their newborn sleep in that upstairs bedroom as originally planned.)

Now the couple can’t sell the house – and Michael turned down a promotion and a raise in another city because the house has problems that they say make it unmarketable.

“My kid calls our house the mud house,” Michael said outside the twostory house that once featured a sign reading “Don’t Buy Ryan” in the front window, clumps of dirt in the front yard and cinder blocks for steps out of the backdoor.

The company fi nally put in grass earlier this year after complaints from the Amos’ neighbors and pressure from their lawyer – although they built back

“Our structural engineer tells us we shouldn’t even be living here. But where else are we going to go?” Michael said.Earlier this year, the Amoses sued Ryan in Clermont County Circuit Court, but Ryan successfully transferred the case to the slower-moving federal court system.

“We paid for a new house, so we want new fl oor joists,” Tasha said, with Michael adding that the couple would also agree to have Ryan buy back the house.

The fi rst day Mike and Tasha Amos moved into their new Ryan Home, the front door handle came off in their hand.

House structurally unsound?

Tasha remembers the day the workers arrived to fi x the dining room fl oor.

The Amoses reported the issue after their dog peed on it and it clearly puddled in one spot due to sloping.

“They were jumping up and down on the fl oor, trying to get it level,” she said.

Little did they know at the time, but workers also cut through several fl oor joists, the supporting wood beams beneath most fl oors, to let the fl oor settle further.

The couple provided The Enquirer all the documentation and correspondence they kept throughout the confl ict

After nearly two years in the home, Mike and Tasha Amos are still dealing with problems like these cracks in the hallway walls.

with Ryan Homes.

The fl oor remained uneven, and the other issues remained. So after struggling to get anything fi xed on their home, the Amoses hired an outside inspector.

As you shop for Medicare,

don’t forget about dental coverage.

Shortly after the Amos’ moved in, their dog urinated near the front door. The urine travelled across the floor, pooling under their dining room table.

Twenty-two months after moving in, the floors are still uneven and there is other work not repaired due to pending litigation. COURTESY AMOS FAMILY

Many Medicare plans don’t include dental.

Adding a plan from The Dental Care Plus Group (DCPG) will fill those gaps – helping you maintain healthy teeth and gums.

With a DCPG plan you’ll enjoy: • No waiting periods on preventive services.

• Preventive services covered at 100% on most plans after a $10 copay.

• Access to vision and hearing discount programs.

• No age maximums.

What he found left them dumbfounded and realizing how bad things were.

“That’s when we knew the house wasn’t safe,” Michael said.

The cut fl oor joists were not repaired properly, says Milford-based home inspector Michael Clark, with workers using some nails, glue and wood that were not made for the job. He says the joists shouldn’t have been cut all the way through; building rules allow for small holes or notches but nothing more.

“I was stunned,” Clark said. “What Ryan had done is never permissible.

There is no building code to cut fl oor joists – ever. When you cut a fl oor joist in a new house, it’s signifi cant. If the fl oor joists fail, the home collapses.

“The Amoses should not be living there. The house is now structurally defective. They’re hosed ... they can’t sell this house.”

A separate architectural expert agreed with the assessment.

“It would appear that no competent building inspector looked at the modifi cations to the joists and the joist bearing conditions at the walls,” said Lee Martin, a forensic architect with Robson Forensic Inc., a fi rm that supplies analysis and expert opinions in legal cases. The company is not part of the Amoses’ lawsuit.

“Floor joists should not be cut and modifi ed in the fi eld without proper engineering calculations and revision to the building permit application.”

In legal limbo without a certifi cate The cut fl oor joists also put the house into regulatory limbo with regards to county inspection ordinances.

Before the cuts were made, the county signed off on the construction and provided a conditional occupancy permit.

Since then, however, the Amoses fi led a complaint about the fl oor joists

and electrical panel. So the couple can’t get a fi nal occupancy certifi cate and need to continually get the conditional one renewed.

In fact, the couple received a letter from the county in June stating that the house “is not approved for occupancy,” because the previous conditional certificate had expired.

Michael Amos says it should be up to Ryan to get such documentation.

“They caused this, they need to fi x it,” he said.

But in a letter sent to the county in June, Ryan’s lawyer wrote that it was the Amoses holding things up by not letting company workers into the home.

“The Amos’s have continued to refuse Ryan Homes’ off ers to address the home’s interior issues,” wrote Jared Klaus, a Columbus lawyer representing the company. “Ryan Homes remains ready, willing, and eager to address the home’s interior issues to that a fi nal Certifi cate of Occupancy may be issued.”

The Amoses say they would allow workers in, but only after a construction plan is submitted in advance and approved by their lawyer and an engineer.

County spokesman Mike Boehmer said the Amoses aren’t in immediate danger of being evicted over the issue, but the dispute needs to be resolved before inspectors can fi nalize the certifi cate.

Boehmer also said the county would accept permit fees from the Amoses or Ryan Homes, but neither appears willing to pay for them, pointing the fi ngers at the other party.

The couple also can’t get help from the state attorney general’s offi ce or the Better Business Bureau, which won’t get involved in cases involving ongoing litigation.

The couple also says it has dealt with three diff erent project managers at Ryan as company cycles through personnel, meaning the Amoses started from scratch a few times to re-educate offi cials.

“This is taking a toll on us stresswise and healthwise,” said Michael Amos.

“This is taking a toll on our kids. You don’t treat people this way.”

McNick can host 29 night events a year in stadium Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A judge has ruled that McNicholas High School can use the new lights at its stadium 29 nights a calendar year for sports games and other events.

That’s less than the 58 nights McNicholas argued it needs and more than a 20-night cap set by a Cincinnati zoning offi cial and supported by some neighbors of the coed Catholic school in Mount Washington.

Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Robert Ruehlman set the new 29-night cap, which he said will allow McNicholas to host half of each of its sports teams’ home games plus a handful of other school events under the lights at Penn Station Stadium.

Ruehlman said the new cap also addresses neighborhood concerns about light and noise generated by night games at the stadium, which opened in 2010.

Penn Station Stadium did not host any night games until August 2018, after the new lights were installed.

“In the interest of school and the neighbors a fair

balance should be struck between the maximum number of nights the school, compared to other schools, would realistically use the lights and a lesser number that would minimize the disturbance to surrounding properties,” Ruehlman said in a court ruling.

Ruehlman is involved in the case because McNicholas fi led an appeal in the Hamilton County courts after the Cincinnati Zoning Board of Appeals in April 2018 affi rmed a 2017 decision by a Cincinnati zoning hearing examiner to limit lighted events at Penn Station Stadium to 20 nights a year.

McNicholas argued that Cincinnati zoning offi cials relied too heavily on conditions set in a case involving stadium lights at The Summit Country Day School in Hyde Park in the early 1990s.

Summit’s case is irrelevant, McNicholas said, because the two schools’ stadiums are so diff erent. For example, McNicholas’ stadium has a state-of-the-art lighting system designed to keep light from spilling onto the property of surrounding neighbors, the school said.

Clermont County man charged in fatal shooting of his wife

Student charged after false accusation of inappropriate touching Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A 13-year-old student has been charged after fabricating "a serious accusation" against a teacher in the Forest Hills School District, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff 's Offi ce.

The female student is charged with making false alarms, a fi rst-degree misdemeanor. The sheriff 's offi ce said she was charged on Oct. 15.

"This investigation is offi cially closed," a sheriff 's offi ce spokesman

Ruehlman said the decision by Cincinnati zoning offi cials to restrict the lights at McNicholas’ stadium to 20 nights per year was arbitrary and that a system should be in place to calculate a fair number based on law.

“Twenty nights would not even allow the school to host half of their home games and shows that it was arbitrarily acquired as there is no mathematically sound reasoning given for that number,” Ruehlman said.

The decision by Cincinnati zoning offi cials in 1991 to limit Summit Country Day’s use of stadium lights to 15 nights was similarly arbitrary, Ruehlman said.

“There was no reasoning why Summit Country Day was limited to 15 and now McNicholas is being allotted 20,” Ruehlman said.

“By instituting a number slightly higher than a similar case does not automatically remove the arbitrariness of the number.”

A McNicholas High School representative could not be reached for comment.

said Friday, Oct. 25.

An investigation was launched Sept.

25 after the student accused a male teacher at Anderson High School of touching her "in an inappropriate manner during a class break," according to deputies.

The teacher in question was initially put on administrative leave, according to Forest Hills School District.

On Oct. 11, the sheriff 's offi ce said it was determined that no criminal or inappropriate activity of any kind occurred after an investigation.

Now that you’ll have leftover gravy (and hopefully turkey), I’m thinking you’ll want to make Jim’s roasted, stuff ed pumpkins.

And you may remember what I tell you each holiday season: don’t stress about everything being perfect – it never is.

It’s not just about food, but who shares it with you.

Viewpoints When it comes to politics, townships are ignored Josh Gerth Guest Columnist Community Press

Shocking news from The Enquirer on Oct. 2. The news outlet reported that some people aren’t getting along downtown.

I say "downtown" because let’s face it, all of the news about politicians not getting along and business leaders not getting along (and politicians and business leaders not getting along with each other) focus on one place in our region: Downtown Cincinnati.

By and large, I enjoy reading Jason Williams articles and opinion pieces.

This one is no diff erent. But the idea that the eight people on The Banks Steering Committee (especially those with property and vested interest at The Banks), any City Council member or any of the Hamilton County commissioners are going to let anyone else make decisions

for what happens at The Banks is pretty funny.

I represent Anderson Township.

There are 12 townships in Hamilton County. Can anyone name them? Can you name six? Three? No? Don’t worry, you’re not alone.

I’m not sure that the county commissioners or The Enquirer could even answer that question. And I’d bet 700 WLW’s Bill Cunningham a Frisch's Big Boy hot fudge sundae that none of the members of City Council can answer that question despite the fact that many of us in the townships pay 2.1% of our income to them and have no say in what they do with it.

When it comes to politics, the townships are ignored by the media. Is it because there is no sexy soap-opera story to tell? No, that’s not it. Oh, and it’s not the media’s fault.

Hamilton County townships are simply not invited to the table. The political table. The economic development table.

The special project (a.k.a. new tax ini-

tiatives) table. I could name others.

What if they did blow up the Banks Steering committee as Charlie Luken suggested? Do you think they would invite anyone from the townships to participate?

Earlier this year, the Cincinnati Chamber held a six-hour panel-style event coined "connect with YOUR elected offi cials." Mayor John Cranley was there as were members of City Council, Northern Kentucky counties, and even ("your") mayor of Dayton was there. I guess they even ran out of other elected offi cials to be on the panel because they also had Cincinnati’s assistant city manager as a speaker.

I was also there. As an attendee.

Guess how many township elected offi cials were invited to participate?

Hamilton County, Ohio townships represent just over 300,000 people. Our townships are limited in power, forcing us to be effi cient in governing. It’s eff ective. We do more with less. We also represent some of the best examples of bi-

partisanship and collaboration. We are boring.

Yet, for some reason we only seem to have a voice when we have to band together and fi ght for something like we did against the city which wanted to arbitrarily raise our water rates.

I love our city. I love our county. I’m not here to point fi ngers at any one politician or business-affi liated entity representing either one. Mayor Cranley and I recently met about a very exciting project that will involve both of us. Commissioner Todd Portune has been a champion for us for many years. Bob Castellini and The Chamber do outstanding things.

I’m simply reminding everybody that in a region that has hundreds of separate political jurisdictions, it might behoove some of those down in our core to look beyond the CBD radius when working on solutions to make our entire community a better place.

Josh Gerth is an Anderson Township trustee.

not determine fund balances” and in 2019 for unpaid bills and running a deficit of $112,000.

There are no stoplights in Newtonsville, Ohio, just a few stop signs.

Two vacant stores stand watch over the fi rst stop sign you encounter.

The one gathering spot is a diner, appropriately named The Gathering Place, that’s been there since 1978.

Talking to residents, it’s clear Newtonsville is not the village it was 100 years ago.

Wrapped in a fl annel jacket as a fall wind whipped through the village, Sandy Borchers stood on the driveway of her Newtonsville home where she’s lived for “38 and three-quarters” years reminiscing about a bygone era, much of which was long before her time.

A gray cottage with a gable roof across the street used to be a funeral home.

“The funeral home wasn’t here when I moved in,” Borchers said. “There are pictures of horses and buggies with the funeral home.”

There was also a barbershop at one point.

Businesses seemed to lose interest in Newtonsville after World War I. “There used to be a cannery over there,” Borchers said. “It’s been 100years since a lot of that had been going on. It’s just been a peaceful area.”

It’s this stable, consistent peace that keeps Borchers and other residents in Newtonsville.

Stay or go?

An existential debate has settled in this peaceful area. Should Newtonsville stay or go?

It’s a question more rural residents are asking themselves. Another Clermont County town, Neville, in 2016 opted to stay a village by one of the most decisive eight-vote margins you’ll fi nd, 19-11.

Borchers, as a fi scal offi cer for Wayne

Ohio’s lost towns, 2004-present Based on an Enquirer analysis of election data, here’s a list of towns that have dissolved in the past 15 years · Kimbolton, Guernsey County, 2004 · Lawrenceville, Clark Co., 2005 · Alvordton, Williams Co., 2007 · St. Martin, Brown Co., 2011 · Fort Shawnee, Allen Co., 2012 · Uniopolis, Auglaize Co., 2013 · Orient, Pickaway Co., 2013 · Cherry Fork, Adams Co., 2014 · Salesville, Guernsey Co., 2015 · Somerville, Butler County, 2016 · Brady Lake, Portage County, 2017 · Limaville, Stark County, 2018

Township, wanted to remain neutral on the future of Newtonsville.

Most everyone else in this town had a defi nite opinion on whether Newtonsville should stay a village. It looks like it’ll be a close vote.

“Oh, I’m defi nitely voting ‘no’ on that,” said Don “Butch” Wilson.

He wants Newtonsville to remain.

Wilson, 72, doesn’t want to say goodbye to the village he’s called home since 1964. He raised a son here. He served two stints on village council, once in the 1980s and again a few years ago.

Staring out beneath a University of Kentucky ballcap, Wilson talked about what it meant to be a Newtonsvillager.

“I leave my door unlocked and can go down to Kentucky, to Butler State Park if I wanted to, and just tell my neighbors to keep an eye on my house,” Wilson said.

He then pointed around the room in the direction of his neighbors. “And I’ll guarantee you between that one, that one and that one next door, there’s no one that will get in this house without them knowing it.”

He doesn’t think the administration of the surrounding Wayne Township will take as much care with plowing the

streets and patrolling the neighborhoods. He’s also worried about the future of the Newtonsville Activity Group.

Since the 1980s that group of Newtonsville residents has organized charity events for local children, including softball games and toy drives.

They need Newtonsville Village Hall to host their events, Wilson said.

His neighbor across the street, however, thinks Newtonsville’s time has passed. That’s not to say Carol Haddix, 73, doesn’t love the village. She raised six children in a farmhouse she and her husband fi xed up 40 years ago.

“I think it’s probably for the best,” Haddix said. “They can’t seem to get out of the red because they won’t work together.”

A victim of tinted windows and basketball Newtonsville’s mayor isn’t giving up.

Mayor Kevin Pringle said he’s challenged the petition in court on the grounds that the petitioners didn’t properly circulate the petition before the village council.

He’s hoping the Ohio 12th District Court of Appeals will disqualify the petition, a decision that could come this week.

Pringle thinks the village is worth saving. In fact, he wants to make Newtonsville bigger, annexing some surrounding streets.

Another “fi scal offi cer” in 2014 approved $31,000 in upgrades to the village building, including tinted windows and a new basketball court in the back.

The village hasn’t recovered, he said.

“I thought that was a boondoggle,” Pringle said.

He believes with some creative fi nancing, including a vague and byzantine plan he outlined of selling the village hall and buying it back, Newtonsville can prosper. Pringle hopes to start a library in Newtonsville and donate 1,000 of his 4,000-book personal collection to start it.

“We’re on the threshold of these things,” Pringle said. “Sometimes I feel we’re almost there.”

Why now?

In the case of both Newtonsville and Amelia, the imposition of a 1% tax on the income of residents has spurred some of their residents to dissolve the villages. They see it as an added layer of government with no benefi t.

“We’re paying for redundant services,” said Ed McCoy, who’s lived in Amelia for three years.

He didn’t get involved in politics until last June, when he received a letter in the mail saying he now owed the city 1% of his paycheck.

He started going to meetings. Some of the village council meetings got pretty heated. Police led one supporter of dissolution, Renee Gerber, away in handcuff s. She’s now running for mayor of a town she wanted to dissolve a year ago. She said she changed her mind she after heard from many people who didn’t want Amelia to dissolve.

“I made a promise,” Gerber said. “I’m not going to stop others from wanting to dissolve Amelia. But I would not do it.

They asked me if I’d run for mayor. I said ‘yes.’”

‘It’s turning friends against friends’ This is not the fi rst time Amelia residents considered dissolving the village to avoid an earnings tax. In 2009, some residents wanted to dissolve the village when the council had attempted to impose an earnings tax to cover a $3 million defi cit.

Voters rejected the dissolution after the village council abandoned the plan for an earnings tax.

The council has no plans to abandon the tax this time. While Gerber has changed her mind on dissolving the village, McCoy thinks the best course is if Amelia no longer exists.

“When they told me they would tax 1% of the money I make, I drew a line in the sand,” McCoy said. “It’s time to make this go away.”

Sports Turpin golf delivers birdies, bogeys, meals and hope Alex Harrison

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS

Pairings set for Greater Cincinnati teams Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

“But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.”

Bible verses in athlete Twitter bios are far from uncommon. The above verse, from 2 Chronicles 15:7, is found in Turpin golfer Max Meyer’s profi le.

It’s a verse that has served Max as well as he has served it.

At the Division I boys golf sectional at Sharon Woods Oct. 2, Meyer shot a 76 and advanced to the district tournament as an individual.

Every golfer in the tournament worked hard to play in postseason golf, but Meyer had a diff erent story.

He only started golfi ng before tryouts his freshman year.

“I picked up a club and I started playing about three weeks before tryouts freshman year,” Meyer said. “I got cut from the team and I put my mind on coming back and making the team.”

With work and improvement, he jumped from a JV sophomore to a contributing junior and fi nally, a team-leading senior. At his freshman tryout, Meyer had the worst score, but at the tryout before his senior year, Meyer had the low score by 10 strokes.

“There were a handful of guys that tried out that year that we cut who were pretty raw to the game,” Turpin golf coach Brad Suder said. “Max admittedly said he had only been playing a few months. Often times kids who we cut as freshmen don't come back to try again. I don't know if I've ever had a golfer in my program that has worked as hard as Max has from where he started to where he ended up.”

For many golfers like Max, a turnaround from beginner to team leader would be the story.

Not for Max Meyer.

From childhood to isolated treatments At 7 years old, Max started getting sick. Bruises appeared on his body and he grew tied easily and acted lethargic. A trip to the doctor revealed Max was in complete bone marrow failure.

“His body wasn’t producing blood of any kind. Red cells, white cells or platelets were at critically low levels.

We were referred immediately to Children’s Hospital,” Max's mom Kristin Meyer said. “He had a few procedures done over the next 24 hours and we learned that he had something called aplastic anemia. We began a journey that we’ve been on for the last 10 years.”

Max was treated at the Cancer and Blood Diseases Institute at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital starting in January 2009. During his stay, Max had to be isolated while undergoing blood and platelet transfusions. In need of a bone marrow donor, Max’s doctors

found a perfect match in his family, Max’s sister, Ellee, then 16 months old.

“We were extremely blessed that she was a perfect match for him,” Kristin said of the donation process.

“I think there’s about a 30% independent chance that a sibling would be a perfect match. We knew families that had six siblings and none of them were perfect matches for the kids. We were just very, very, very lucky that a sibling match is a best-case scenario.

“They decided Max’s disease was idiopathic, which meant there was no known cause. I remember sitting with his doctor and she said, ‘Okay. You need to stop asking why and move on to how we are going fi x this.’ So that’s what we did. We took her advice and moved onto the transplant and hoped for the best that it would cure him and it did.”

Max got healthy enough to go back to school and grow up with his friends. It also gave him and his family a chance to give back to the hospital and community that helped them so much.

An opportunity to help “When he came home from the hospital later in April, we refl ected on the experience,” Kristin said. “The people we had met were from all over the world. They come here for Children’s Hospital and the Cancer and Blood Diseases Institute. We felt like we wanted to do something to help.

We cooked a meal for Mother’s Day and delivered it to the parent lounge in the bone marrow transplant unit.

“Then we talked to Max’s doctor, who was the head of the unit, and told her we wanted to do more of that kind of thing. She said, ‘That’s great. We would welcome it, but it needs to be professionally catered. I don’t want you to take on responsibility of keeping the food safe and everything for all these people.’ We decided after that we needed to start a non-profi t.

We started Max’s Meals and we started serving. Right away that next year we served 12 meals.”

Max’s Meals provided meals and

The Ohio High School Athletic Association football postseason begins Friday and continues through Saturday with fi rst-round games. Based on fi nal computer rankings seeds and match-ups are set.

Among the backstories, in Division I Tom Bolden makes it in his fi rst season at Lakota West, but the Firebirds will have to survive "The Pit" and No. 4 seed Elder. No. 2 seed Fairfi eld will host another "War on Route 4" against Hamilton. No. 3 seed Colerain, who just gave Fairfi eld their fi rst defeat to win the Greater Miami Conference, will host Princeton.

It's the Vikings fi rst playoff appearance in 12 years.

In Division II, No. 8 seed Little Miami's reward for bouncing out Winton Woods and Anderson (9th and 10th, respectively) is top seed La Salle, whom Winton Woods defeated.

In Division III, it's a Hamilton battle between the No. 4 seed Badin and No. 5 Ross. They started the season in August with Ross winning in overtime, 20-19.

An interesting possible secondround match looms in Division IV if top seed Wyoming defeats Milton Union and Indian Hill gets by Kenton.

The Cowboys and Braves would then play for a chance at the regional fi nal. Wyoming just held off Indian Hill 21-18 this past Friday.

Ditto in Division V if Summit Country Day and CHCA would advance, it would be a Miami Valley Conference rematch. On Oct. 25, CHCA defeated the Silver Knights 47-20.

Division VII also leaves a rematch if top seed New Miami and No. 4 seed Cincinnati College Prep Academy advance.

New Miami won a shootout on Oct. 4, 55-32.

Rose Lavelle to headline Cincinnati.com Sports Awards Jason Hoffman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Rose Lavelle, the local soccer product who rose to international fame during the 2019 World Cup, will be the guest speaker at the 2020 Cincinnati.com Sports Awards, presented by TriHealth.

The awards show, April 27, 2020, at Music Hall, will honor the best high school athletes from Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and Southeast Indiana.

The 24-year-old midfi elder for the United States Women's National Team and Washington Spirit of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) was named to the 2019 FIFA FIFPRO World 11 – the best 11 players in the world voted on by their fellow players – following her three-goal performance in the 2019 World Cup. Lavelle also is currently nominated for the women's Ballon d'Or, the award given by the French Football Association to the best women's soccer player.

Lavelle played soccer at Mount Notre

Dame in high school as well as Cincinnati United Premier (CUP) before going to the University of Wisconsin. After graduating from Wisconsin in 2017, Lavelle joined the NWSL and currently stars for the Washington Spirit.

"It's incredible to have Rose on board to help us honor our area's best high school athletes," said Jason Hoff man, sports editor for The Enquirer. "Her performance at the World Cup this summer was incredible and I can't think of a better example for our young athletes to follow in life on and off the fi eld of play."

The fi fth-annual awards show will be comprised of 39 awards – 29 athletes of the year in a given sport and 10 premier awards.

Winners from the event will get their picture taken backstage with Lavelle after receiving their awards on stage.

Previous guest speakers were Pete Rose, Marvin Lewis, A.J. Green and Andy Dalton.

“It’s pretty inspiring for the patients at the hospital when they get to see me again,“ Max said about delivering meals.

“I’m 10 years post-transplant now and a lot of people in there are just beginning their journeys. It’s inspiring for me and it puts a smile on my face knowing these people see me and it gives them hope.

When you have hope in a spot like that, it means the world. It is super important to me going back there and giving back to the people in the situation I was in.”

At the hospital, families would see

patients return because they were back for more treatments and still sick.

“When we began and my husband and I would go, people would have a lot of hope from just hearing Max’s story,” Kristin said. “Now Max is old enough he’s able to go too. He goes with us often and we’ve had moments where moms and dads cried seeing that he made it to the other side and here he is back serving the families that are there today."

Max’s hard work paid off . On the golf course, Max went to the district tournament and gave himself an athletic career to be proud of.

“My friends always tell me that I’m one those people that will never give up on anything and they describe my life as an uphill battle,” Max concluded. “I just fi ght and fi ght and fi ght to be better at what I want to do. That’s how I personally like to live life and how I want to stay.

Howdy folks, I have been working on the glasses that folks have been saving when they get new ones.

The Lions Club takes these and has them cleaned and ready for folks that can’t aff ord to buy them over in other countries.

The Bethel Lions Club has collected used glasses for several years now.

I take them and count each one so the folks have a count of them.

There are glasses, the cases, sunglasses, the lens and the pieces that go over the ear to hold the glasses on your face. I spent about two hours last week counting the glasses. Altogether there were 436.

These are picked up by my friend Lion Van Scyoc and taken to another Lion to be used.

This is important.

If you have any used glasses give them to a Lion Club member and I will get them.

The Lion’s Club membership over the world according to a recent report I saw is over four million members. The Bethel Lions Club does so much for folks that need glasses and the school children so if you would like to be a member contact a Lion member.

Last week, I went down to the St. Thomas More Church for the Court of Honor for Boy Scout Troop 452.

Ethan Kinner received several awards including a shot gun shooting merit badge, citizenship in the world merit badge, BSA kayaking, BSA snorkeling, and BSA paddle boarding.

The entire scouting group has done a

super job. It made me very proud to see a group of young fellers doing all these diff erent activities.

Congratulations to all of you!

Now mark your calendar for the fi rst pancake breakfast of the fall for the Bethel Lion’s Club. It will be Nov. 9, at the Bethel High school cafeteria.

The menu is juice, sausage, and all you can eat pancakes. We have a great time of fellowship in addition to the food.

The price for adults is $5 and children 12 years and under are $3.

The Saltair Church had the Soul’d Out concert last Sunday evening. I really enjoyed the singing.

Paula was not able to go with me so I called my buddy Dan and he went with me.

The group is excellent. There was a good crowd.

Now on Nov. 2, according to Pastor Bob Wickline, it is time to turn the clock back one hour. That doesn’t mean you can turn the clock back to when you were 20 years old! That is a good church.

The Saltair Church has made the Empower Youth one of their missions. Currently, they need canned goods.

The Northside Baptist Church is holding their Sunday services at the Shepherd’ House here in Bethel. They had water damage to their church and haven’t gotten the water damage fi xed yet.

Now Mr. Chester and Chessie are getting along good. Chester tries to eat all of the canned food each morning, so I step in after he has eaten about half of the can.

They both are special.

Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and praising the good Lord.

God bless all...

More later...

Scouts with the Dan Beard Council, BSA plant hundreds of trees to improve the environment on Camp Conservation Day On Saturday, Nov. 9, over 350 Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, leaders, parents, siblings, college students and environmental groups will come together to plant native trees and shrubs at Camp Friedlander in Clermont County.

Camp Friedlander is celebrating 100 years of serving Scouts in the region, but like most natural areas in the Cincinnati region, it has been devastated by the Emerald Ash Borer.

The Dan Beard Council, which represents this 9-county region of southeast Ohio and northern Kentucky, has been conducting Camp Conservation Day for 15 years. Participation in this event grows each year, which benefi ts the 500-acre property. The goal for the camp is to provide a quality outdoor experience for the youth of Greater Cincinnati, just minutes from downtown.

At Camp Conservation Day, Scouts as young as 6 years of age are taught how to plant trees, identify honeysuckle and learn the fundamentals of ecology and forest management.

The Scouts also take their newly learned skills home where they perform these same activities in the yards, schools, churches and neighborhoods in their community. Camp Conservation Day is often the Scouts fi rst hands-on introduction to biology. During the event, there are demonstrations and mentoring by trained biologists, many of them Scout leaders who also started their introduction to biology in Scout-

The Dan Beard Council, Boy Scouts of America is happy to welcome the Duke Energy Foundation as a Camp Conservation Day sponsor. The Duke Energy Foundation has been supporting this event for the past two years because it combines the reforesting of the region with youth education and public outreach.

Duke Energy employees volunteer with the planting. Additionally, private donors and the Silver Beaver Alumni Association, a group of recognized Scout leaders, contribute to match the Duke Energy Foundation’s grant.

Everyone in the community is invited to participate in Camp Conservation Day upon registration. For details and to register, please visit: www.danbeard.org/camp-conservation-days 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 30,000 families and led by over 6,000 volunteers, the Dan Beard Council provides a program of character development, citizenship training and personal fi tness to youth from ages 5 through 21.

For Immediate Release US− Are we witnessing the end of an era for Viagra?

Since the famous “little blue pill” exploded on the market in 1998, becoming the fastest selling drug in history, it has made vast sums marketing it to sexually frustrated men all over the world.

Within three months of its launch, Viagra had already earned $400m, and over the past two decades, it has consistently generated annual sales to the tune of $1.8bn.

However, this will soon come to an end, as in 2020, as the remaining patents on Viagra expire for good.

A whole host of generic versions have emerged in the past six years, often in quirky forms such as mint strips or breath sprays, as big pharma’s grip on the rights to the drug has slowly loosened.

Soon, these are expected to flood the market, as manufacturers jostle for a slice of the pie.

But while virtually everyone is focused on these generics, savvy consumers are focused on something much different.

And although it’s natural, its performance has researchers far more impressed.

For the first time in a while, America has a new sex pill.

A New Alternative for Sexually Frustrated Men The new pill called Vesele is part of a new class of performance enhancers for men.

It works on the body and mind, triggering arousal and encouraging firmer and harder erections.

Formulated with a special compound known as an “accelerator”, Vesele can transport its active ingredients faster and more efficiently into the blood stream, where it begins to work its magic.

The patented ingredient blend initiates a process known as vasodilation, which causes arteries and vessels throughout the body to expand. This allows blood to flow directly to penis and genitals, resulting in harder erections which last longer.

But what makes Vesele so remarkable, and what these other sex pills can’t do, is that also directs a small portion of this blood flow to the brain, which creates feelings of intense arousal. In laymen’s terms, users become incredibly excited and turned on.

This is why the makers of Vesele say their pill has worked so effectively in Clinical Use Survey Trials (CUST). It stimulates the two most important organs for great sex, the penis and the brain.

The Brain Erection Connection Until now, medical researchers did not fully understand the brain-erection connection. It has now been made clear with Vesele. When both are supplied with a constant blood flow, men are harder and firmer for longer...and have unbelievable sex drives.

“Most of the research and treatment methods for men’s sexual failures have focused on physiological factors and have neglected the emotional ones. For the leading sex drugs to work, like Cialis and Viagra, you need visual stimulation” explains Dr. Stephen Klayman, spokesperson for Vesele.

“And although they work for some men, the majority

America’s New Sex Pill? Researchers seem to think so. Vesele is a new pill that cost just $1 a dose does not require a prescription. It works on both body and mind to increase arousal and hardness.

experience absolutely no fulfillment during sex.

According to research published by the National Institute of Health, 50% of men taking these drugs stop responding or can’t tolerate their side effects...and on top of that they spend $50 per pill and it doesn’t even work half the time.

This is what makes Vesele so different and effective. It floods the blood stream with key ingredients which cause arteries all over the body to expand. The patented accelerator speeds up this process even more.

The result is a rush of blood flow to the penis and brain, helping to create an impressive erection and a surging desire for sex. Often, this is all men need to get going. And when taken regularly, many men say they are energized and aroused all day.”

Great Sex At Any Age With the conclusion of their latest human clinical use survey trial, Dr. Klayman and his team are now offering Vesele in the US. And regardless of the market, its sales are exploding.

Men across the country are eager to get their hands on the new pill and according to the research, they should be.

In the trial above, as compared to baseline, men taking Vesele saw a staggering 85% improvement in hardness over a four-month period. They also stayed harder for longer two times longer to be exact.

These same men also experienced an astounding 82% increase in the desire for sex (libido/sex drive) and an even greater improvement in overall satisfaction and ability to satisfy their partners.

Many men taking Vesele described feeling horny and aroused through the day. The anticipation before sex was amazing. They were also easily turned on. Their moods were more upbeat and positive, too.

Faster Absorption into the Blood Stream Vesele is made up of three specialized ingredients: two extra strength vasodilators and a patented absorption enhancer often called an accelerator.

According to an enormous amount of clinical data, each is very safe.

They are even listed by the FDA as GRAS ingredients.

Research shows that with age, many men lose their desire and interest in sex. They also struggle to produce an erection firm enough for penetration.

And although there are many theories as to why this happens (including a loss in testosterone) one thing is certain, inadequate blood flow is virtually always to blame. That’s why sex drug manufacturers focus on blood flow, it makes you hard so you can have sex.

But what’s more surprising, and what these manufacturers have failed to consider, is that lack of blood flow can also kill your sex drive.

That’s because blood supplies the brain with energy. This energy is required for creating the brainwaves that make you feel aroused and excited.

Studies show the Vesele stimulates the entire cardiovascular system, including the arteries that lead to both the brain and penis wheras other sex pills focus only on the erection.

The extreme concentration of the ingredients combined with the accelerator ensures that this process starts quickly.

The sexual benefits of Vesele are also multiplied as its ingredients build up in the system over time. This is why many men take it every single day.

Recent Studies Show Positive Effects on Women “In our most recent study, women taking Vesele saw a stunning 52% improvement in arousal and sex drive. Perhaps more impressive, they also experienced a 57% improvement in lubrication.

You can imagine why some couples are taking Vesele together.

Everything feels better. Everything works better.

Everyone performs better. It’s truly amazing.”

A New Frontier of NonPrescription Sex Pills With daily use, Vesele is helping men (and women) restore failing sex lives and overcome sexual lets downs without side effect or expense.

Through a patented absorption enhancer, the Vesele formula hits the bloodstream quickly, resulting in phenomenal improvements in erection firmness and hardness. By boosting blood flow to the brain, users also experience sexual urges and arousal they often haven’t felt in years.

Cincinnati author tackles addiction in new novel BirdSong Today’s media portrayal of musicians and artists often glorifi es drug use. Addiction is a serious disease, and with today’s struggles with the opioid epidemic, especially in the case of rural America, this story needs to be told.

A raw and unapologetic coming-of-age story, BirdSong, the latest novel by Cincinnati native Jennifer Brasington-Crowley, follows the journey of seventeenyear-old Robin Xavier from world-class nobody to world-famous rock star. Brought up in an abusive

childhood home in rural Tennessee, Robin’s mental and physical scars haunt him incessantly, and the only relief he can fi nd is through narcotics.

As one reviewer wrote, “The author beautifully wrote about addiction, not only from the point of view of the user, but showing the emotion from those aff ected by the abuser’s actions. I feel this is often overlooked in stories where addiction plays a part.”

Throughout his journey, the protagonist struggles with addiction, even after he so-called “makes it.” This vicious cycle is something that is often left out of stories and movies that feature the rock n roll lifestyle, but something the author felt strongly needed to be included in the novel.

BirdSong is the prequel to last year’s Raven Song, which was a much lighter, fun and entertaining love story. BirdSong deals with a darker subject matter, but is a story worth reading.

Jennifer will be signing books at the Boone County Public Library on Saturday, Nov. 9 from 1:30-3 p.m. at the Local Author Book Fair. Boone County Public Library is located at 1786 Burlington Pike, Burlington, KY 41005. For more information, call (859) 342-2665.

Jennifer Brasington-Crowley lives in Anderson Township. She is also the author of the novels Raven Song, Dolphin Song, Dolphin Magic, The Woman Who Fell To Earth, and the author/illustrator for the Lyndsay and Lainey Lion children’s book series (www.sunnyvillezoo.com).

SCHOOL NEWS Goddard School earns 4-Star rating The Goddard School of Anderson Township is excited to announce it has earned a 4-Star rating with Ohio’s Step Up To Quality Program (SUTQ)!

SUTQ is a quality rating and improvement system administered by the Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. SUTQ recognizes and promotes learning and development programs that meet and exceed quality program standards. The standards measured by SUTQ have been proven through national studies to improve learning outcomes for children.

By January of 2020, all Early Childhood Education programs receiving public funding are required to participate in Step Up to Quality.

While The Goddard School of Anderson Township is not publicly funded, the choice to participate in SUTQ was made to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to meeting and exceeding high quality education standards. Many childcare programs will be receiving a SUTQ rating in the near future which will allow prospective parents an opportunity to compare ratings to determine which schools meet their expectations.

The Goddard School in Anderson Township earns a 4-Star rating from Ohio’s Step Up To Quality program. From left: Rebekkah Vaught, Rachael Kelly, Mark Reinhart and Victoria Fairs. PROVIDED

“We decided to obtain a Step Up To Quality rating before it becomes mandatory to be part of a program that standardizes education excellence across the state. Step Up is providing evidencebased guidelines to improve measurable outcomes in child development,” says Victoria Faris, the Education Director at The Goddard School in Anderson Township.

Quality is assessed and measured in the following areas: Curriculum & Planning, Child Screening & Assessment, Interactions & Environments, Administration & Leadership Practices, Staff Qualifi cations & Profes-

sional Development, and Family & Community Partnerships. To qualify for a quality rating, schools must meet requirements in every area as well utilize an approved curriculum.

The Goddard School of Anderson Township has always been committed to providing a high-quality early childhood experience.

Through their history of hard work and dedication of teachers, administrators, and parents, the school was able to achieve their star rating on their fi rst attempt.

Rotary hosts Camp Enterprise for entrepreneurial high school students The Rotary Club of Northeast Cincinnati

hosted 22 local high school students at its annual Camp Enterprise recently at Camp Kern in Oregonia.

Students came from St. Xavier, Princeton, Ursuline, Sycamore, Madeira, Schilling, Anderson, Loveland, Wyoming, and Lebanon High Schools.

This three-day camp introduced students to entrepreneurialism and business by having teams start a business.

They created a product or service, developed a business plan for their business, and then pitched it to a panel of judges.

“Camp Enterprise inspires students to become the next generation of successful entrepreneurs and business leaders, making a positive difference in our communities.

The students learned the importance of teamwork and successfully created business plans through critical thinking, planning, teamwork, and communication,” said Emily Balzer, the event chair.

In addition to developing a business, the students assembled eight tricycles provided by Montgomery Cyclery for donation to Lydia’s House in Norwood and the YMCA Early Learning Center in Roselawn.

On the fi rst day of Camp Enterprise, the students worked at develop-

Day two, they created their startups from an idea to a full blown business plan, and day three wrapped up with the “pitch” competition. This year’s ideas included an electronic business card, advertising via labels on water bottles, transferred employee relocation services, and a smart pillow to improve sleeping habits.

Abra Koch represents Loveland in Global Learning Fellowship Abra Koch, Spanish teacher at Loveland High School, is one of 44 public school educators from across the nation who have been selected for the NEA Foundation 2020 Global Learning Fellowship.

As part of the program, Koch will spend a year in a peer-learning network of fellows who share a passion for global education and a commitment to preparing students with 21st-century skills.

“It is an honor to participate in the NEA Foundation Global Learning Fellowship,” said Koch.

“I am excited to continue to focus on developing global competency in our students and to serve as an advocate for global education. Our students See SCHOOL , Page 9B

EASTSIDE COMMUNITY PRESS ❚ WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2019 ❚ 9B

SCHOOL NEWS Continued from Page 8B

will be asked to face increasingly complex global challenges in their lifetimes, and the solution to those challenges will depend upon our students’ abilities to consider diverse perspectives, make connections and understand the global consequences of their actions and decisions. By providing opportunities for our students to communicate and connect with communities in other parts of the world, we can help them to become truly global citizens.”

This work will support the implementation of the Loveland Schools’ vision of a Portrait of a Tiger - an essential component of that is to integrate global competency skills into instruction that will allow students to become curious explorers and global innovators.

Koch, who has traveled extensively around the world, was part of an expedition to the Galápagos Islands in 2018 after being chosen for the highly selective Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship by the National Geographic Society.

She was recently invited to attend the National Geographic Education Summit in Washington D.C., featuring three days of innovative strategy sessions designed to inspire students to explore

and educators to take a global path in their work.

The NEA Foundation Global Learning Fellowship is a 12-month professional development program that includes online coursework, webinars, collegial study and workshops.

It will conclude with a nine-day international fi eld study experience next summer.

“The professional development will take place throughout the year and will culminate in a trip to Peru next July, when we will have the opportunity to interact and work with local educators, students, administration and policymakers,” said Koch. “The learning will continue after we return home through the extensive fellow alumni network.”

The NEA Foundation is a public charity founded by educators for educators to improve public education for all students.

Through the unique strengths of its partnerships with educators, the NEA Foundation advances student achievement by investing in public education that will prepare each of America’s children to learn and thrive in a rapidly changing world.
