A state appeals court has upheld a Hamilton County judge’s decision to dismiss the city and four police offi cers from a lawsuit surrounding the 2017 mass shooting at the Cameo nightclub. The offi cers were working off -duty security details outside the crowded East End club when a gun battle erupted inside. Fifteen people were wounded and two were killed, including 27-year-old O’Bryan Spikes, who according to court documents was an innocent bystander and was struck by a stray bullet. Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Patrick Dinkelacker ruled last year that the offi cers had no legal duty to prevent weapons from being brought into the nightclub. In an opinion fi led Nov. 27, the 1st District Court of Appeals agreed, saying the lawsuit didn’t establish a violation of duty by the offi cers. Dinkelacker, the appeals court added, “appropriately determined that the city was entitled to a grant of immunity because the offi cers were engaging in a governmental function when working the security detail.” The lawsuit alleged the club’s owner allowed some people to enter through a special entrance, without being checked for weapons. It says he charged additional money to people who used the alternate entrance, extracting “additional profi t.” It accused the offi cers of “turning a blind eye” to the special entrance. The lawsuit was fi led on behalf of Spikes’ estate.

‘I’m your huckleberry,’ man tells Anderson trustee Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A newly elected Forest Hills school board member and a second term Anderson Township trustee are feuding on Facebook over a run-in while driving. Leslie Rasmussen, who will join the board of education Jan. 1, claims she was stalked and her 6-year-old daughter terrorized by Trustee Andrew Pappas after their cars crossed paths on Beechmont Avenue about a month ago. But Pappas — who has been a trustee since 2014 – says Rasmussen was driving erratically and taking pictures of his “car stickers” before she dangerously changed lanes to give him the ﬁ nger. Pappas says he tracked down Rasmussen’s car to get her license plate to report to authorities. Neither Rasmussen nor Pappas identify the other by name in their Facebook posts. But their identities are conﬁ rmed with posts Rasmussen’s husband Michael made on Pappas’ Facebook page defending his wife and warning Pappas to steer clear of his family.

‘I’m your Huckleberry’

intimidate my wife and child please refer to me,” Michael Rasmussen said. “I’m your Huckleberry.” The Urban Dictionary says the phrase means “I’m the man you’re looking for.” Lt. Dan McElroy, district commander of a substation in Anderson Township operated by the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Offi ce, said he and another offi cer spoke with Leslie Rasmussen and Pappas and investigated the incident. “There’s just nothing in this that rises to a criminal off ense,” McElroy said. Pappas was messaged on Facebook and did not immediately respond. He later said he did not see the the message and sent email comments. Leslie Rasmussen did respond when asked for a comment and said in a phone interview that she has never met Pappas. But Rasmussen said Pappas supported two other candidates who ran for a seat on the Forest Hills Local Schools Board of Education in the November elections, and she didn’t like some of the things he and some of his supporters said about her during the campaign.

Rasmussen says:

5 on the Facebook page she used during her campaign that an Anderson Township trustee rolled down his vehicle’s window when they were both driving on Beechmont a few weeks ago and “appeared to try and fl ag me down or something.” The school district educates students in Anderson Township and Newtown. “I quickly turned off onto a side street, and eventually arrived at a friend’s home on a deadend street,” Rasmussen said. “We went in and were confused by the situation, but went about our visit.” About 45 minutes later, Rasmussen said, the trustee’s vehicle was parked in front of her friend’s home. “The person proceeded to pull up next to my vehicle where it idled for a bit before taking off ,” Rasmussen said. “We immediately called the police. How did this person know where we went?

“My child was horrifi ed as we all spoke to the offi cer who recommended an immediate fi ling of an order of protection,” Rasmussen said. “If I’m not being clear: my 6-year-old witnessed this person’s version of ‘fun’ and she was terrorized, and had to talk to a police offi cer about it.” Rasmussen said in the phone interview that she spoke with a lawyer about seeking a protection order but concluded that would not be best for the community. “I decided the best thing to do was to try to let it die down, make sure my child is protected and fi nd a way for us to move forward,” Rasmussen said. “I still don’t know how (Pappas) tracked me down to my friend’s house, and that is concerning to me. It’s scary.” And now, Rasmussen said on her campaign Facebook page, her daughter is worried the Anderson Township trustee may show up at their home or other places the family visits. Rasmussen also said she preferred to address the situation on “legal” grounds as opposed to via social media but felt compelled to post on Facebook because her daughter’s fears now are being mocked on the Anderson Township Politics Facebook page. Rasmussen said the private page is run by a

man who is aﬃ liated with her daughter’s elementary school. “The fact remains that (the trustee) terrorized me and my child, and now some pals think it’s a joke. I don’t know about you all, but I have a real concern for the students in our community,” Rasmussen said. “(Forest Hills has) been rocked by suicide, bullying, and things that we want to protect our children from. I expect better from adults. “I look forward to tackling the issues related to school safety in a formal manner” after taking oﬃ ce, Rasmussen said.

Pappas says: Pappas gives a diff erent account in a post he wrote a month ago on his personal Facebook page. “To whomever was driving erratically in white Toyota rav snapping pics of my car stickers then fl ipping me off after dangerously changing lanes, please take your meds,” Pappas said Nov. 9. “There was some recent campaign writing on the car, but I’m more concerned about someone driving erratically in that mental state.” Pappas later posted that he looked for and found the Rav so he could get the license plate to fi le a reckless driving report with authorities. “I know the owner now,” Pappas said, though he said he would not be naming the driver on his Facebook page. Pappas identifi ed her as a woman newly elected to public offi ce. “So confused as what to do,” Pappas said. “They are now public

offi cials and really shouldn’t be driving like that nor fl ipping their residents off .” In an email Tuesday, Dec. 10, Pappas said he noticed a car taking photos at the back of his car and initially did not pay much attention, other than thinking it was unsafe. He said the car pulled alongside and saw the driver “fl ipping him off with great emotion. “Rather than return the favor, I simply waved and laughed and continued driving, neither speeding up nor slowing down. The car then passed me and it was then that it got my attention due to the erratic rapid and dangerous lane changes it performed.” At the next traffi c signal, Pappas said in the email he looked over to see if he recognized the driver, but thought the person avoided looking at him. He said it was possibly Rasmussen but he was not sure. He said he never followed the car, got behind the car, changed lanes nor was speeding and proceeded on to Home Depot. “While at Home Depot, I took to social media (to) express my annoyance and to warn both the driver and others that someone is driving dangerously on Beechmont, never a good idea, especially on a Saturday.” He said he had a suspicion who the driver was but didn’t want to accuse someone without knowing. He said on his trip back, he looked down a street to see if his hunch as to the driver’s identity was correct and saw the car from earlier. He drove past, turned around and took two pictures of the license plate. He said he called the sheriff to see if he could fi le a report for road rage or reckless driving, but was informed nothing would be done unless observed by the offi cers.

The husband weighs in Pappas’ Facebook post prompted Michael Rasmussen to weigh in on Pappas’ Facebook page. “You target my wife and child in traffi c, and try to wave them down. Then you stalk them through the neighborhood,” Rasmussen said, noting that law enforcement was involved. “That’s a really, really wide line you’ve crossed. That’s my family, and you’ve taken it way beyond political silliness.” Pappas responded that, “You are out of your mind.” “Your wife was behind me camera at dash. Then changed lanes erratically to get alongside me to fl ip me off ,” Pappas said. “I never sped up nor slowed down nor changed a lane nor did anything besides wave.”

Sky Galley has been inside the airport’s old terminal building since

the early 1940s. The restaurant is known for its unique art deco location where patrons could watch planes take off and land as they dined. Pilots occasionally fl ew in to grab a “$100 hamburger,” aviation slang for a meal you fl y a short distance to eat before fl ying back home. City administration discussed proposals for making the repairs with Sky Galley owner Kirby Brakvill in the months before their decision to cancel the restaurant’s lease and regain control of the space. The Lunken Airport Oversight Advisory Board recommended to the city the location continue to host a restaurant. It’s also topen to proposals from interested parties with other ideas for the space.

‘This is corporate blackmail’: Sen. Sherrod Brown on Ryan Homes agreements Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Donna and Robert Cobb recently went a night without heat after Duke Energy shut oﬀ their gas. Duke Energy deemed it was necessary due to a dangerous amount of gas circulating through their home, all because of a pipe regulator that Ryan Homes failed to install, they said. “They hadn’t put a regulator on the line, so it was just full gas coming in,” Robert Cobb said. The smell was overwhelming. The Cobbs had noticed problems during pre-construction and tried to get out of their contract with Ryan Homes, but say they were “forced” into buying the home anyways. “We were told that if we were to get out of our contract, our life would be ‘a living hell,’” Donna Cobb said. Ryan Homes oﬃ cials did not immediately return calls on Nov. 22. The Cobbs’ story is similar to others locally and across the nation, as revealed in an investigation published late last month by The Enquirer/USA Today.

U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat from Cleveland, addressed growing concerns over Ryan Homes’ arbitration clauses Friday, Nov. 22 at a Cincinnati press conference with the Cobbs and other Ohio families aﬀ ected by the fourth-largest home builder in the country. Brown and senators Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Ben Cardin of Maryland and Chris Van Hollen of Maryland partnered to address Ryan Homes and its parent company, NVR, Inc., in a letter sent earlier this month. The letter asked the company to remove the arbitration provisions from their agreements. Ryan Homes has oﬀ ered to repair damaged homes only if homeowners agree to mandatory arbitration and nondisclosure agreements prohibiting them from talking about the issues publicly. Brown called this policy “corporate blackmail.” “Homebuyers shouldn’t have to give up their right to their day in court just to ensure they can live in a home that’s safe, structurally sound, and meets minimum code requirements,” Brown said at the press conference. “Ultimately,

these legal clauses are about one thing – big companies silencing victims and giving more power to corporations that already have too much power over the lives of working Americans.” Since these homeowner horror stories have been highlighted in the media, more Ohioans have come forward. On Nov. 22, Brown stood by three new families who he said have fallen victim to Ryan Homes’ “coercive” practices. Eric VonBusch, of Milford in suburban Cincinnati, built his home in 2013. The house has fl ooded fi ve times since then. He said he’s looking at up to $25,000 to refi nish his fi nished basement due to water damage. “I just wish people would do the right thing,” he said. “And man up and if you’re putting your name on something. Just stand behind it.” Derek Wright, of Wadsworth, near Cleveland, was up on his roof putting up Christmas lights last year when he noticed something wrong with his shingles. There were exposed nails over the en-

tire roof. After months of back and forth with Ryan Homes, Wright said they ultimately refused to settle on repair funding because Wright would not sign a contract that would prohibit him from telling his mortgage backers of the transaction. “I’m afraid that Ryan Homes will sue me,” Wright said. Brown said that he has tried to bring this issue to the Senate ﬂ oor in the past, but special interest lobbyists have prevented it from passing. NVR, Inc., which owns nationallyknown Ryan Homes, recently responded to the senators’ letter, rejecting Brown’s “anti-consumer” accusations. Brown is not backing down. “Ryan Homes needs to drop this coercive legal ﬁ ne print and stand by its warranty,” Brown said Nov. 22. “And President Trump and politicians in Washington need to stand up for all consumers and ban these forced arbitration clauses altogether.” The Enquirer has reached out to NVR, Inc. but had not received a statement at the time this article was originally published.

Two local breweries recognized by beer publication Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Two local breweries were recognized by Brewbound, a publication about beer industry news in the U.S. The Brewbound Awards recognize large and small beer companies, as well as notable industry ﬁ gures, for their execution of various business and philanthropic ini-

tiatives, according to a press release. This year, Rhinegeist Brewery won Craft Brewery of the Year. Rhinegeist opened its doors in 2013. It is located at 1910 Elm St. Brewbound wrote, “Rhinegeist Brewery, which has grown rapidly over the last six years, crossing 100,000 barrels and becoming a regional craft leader. In 2020, Rhinegeist’s founders will begin the process of

turning the company over to its employees through an employee stock ownership plan.” Brewbound also recognized “Rising Stars” which were six emerging craft beer companies to watch. Fifty West Brewing Company was chosen as one of the “Rising Stars.” Fifty West opened in 2012. It is located at 7668 Wooster Pike. “We started by staying away from

cans, opting to build our brand through an immersive taproom experience and outside draft presence. Witnessing some of our peers quick success was tough, but we stuck to our plan and grew organically. When we ﬁ nally put cans on shelves it was that much more rewarding to watch people reach for it,” said Founder and President of Fifty West Bobby Slattery in a press release.

Holiday beef tenderloin and crispy roasted potatoes; and how to grate nutmeg Holiday beef tenderloin with Latin rub

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Just the mention of beef tenderloin in my recent column brought about requests for roasting. I can understand that, since choice tenderloin is expensive but so appropriate for holidays, and easy to roast. Plus it can be made ahead. If you’re serving this as a buﬀ et, roasted asparagus showered with Parmesan right out of the oven is a nice veggie, since it tastes good at room temperature, too. Add some extra crispy roasted potatoes (baking soda is the secret – see my tip below) and you’ve got a feast.

Crispy roasted potatoes: baking soda is the secret Cut potatoes as you like, then boil with baking soda BEFORE roasting. Baking soda, being alkaline, breaks down potatoes’ surfaces, making them a little pasty looking on the outside. That translates into crisp outsides with creamier centers after roasting. Add 1⁄ 2 teaspoon baking soda to every 2 quarts salted water. Bring to a boil, add potatoes and cook about 10 minutes af-

Depending upon how much tenderloin you buy, you may have some rub left. The USDA recommends 10 minutes per pound to cook beef tenderloin. Ingredients Rub: ⁄ 4 cup cumin

See the hard shell on nutmeg? You have to crack that off prior to grating.

1 teaspoon pepper ⁄ 4 teaspoon cinnamon

⁄ 4 to 3⁄ 4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Tenderloin: 3-5 pound tenderloin (for every person, count on about 6 oz. raw weight).

Nutmeg - why is it so hard to grate?

⁄ 2 cup dry red wine mixed with 1⁄ 2 cup beef broth.

It’s probably still in the dark brown shell. Give it a shake – if nutmeg rattles, crack shell oﬀ . Fresh nutmeg is stronger than dried so use about 3⁄ 4 as much as dried.

Instructions

Cut potatoes as you like, then boil with baking soda BEFORE roasting. Baking soda, being alkaline, breaks down potatoes’ surfaces, making them a little pasty looking on the outside. That translates into crisp outsides with creamier centers after roasting. Add 1⁄ 2 teaspoon baking soda to every 2 quarts salted water. Bring to a boil, add potatoes and cook about 10 minutes after returning to boil. Drain, let rest in pot to dry a bit, then toss with olive oil, etc., and roast in hot oven. Seriouseats.com site has a good tutorial on this method.

And remember, there’s carryover cooking which means when you remove the meat from the oven, the internal temperature continues to rise a few more degrees. Cover loosely with foil and let stand 10-20 minutes before carving. That way, the meat “relaxes," and juices collected in the center will redistribute throughout meat, making for a moist roast.

Bring meat to room temperature 30 minutes or so prior to roasting. Preheat oven to 400-425.

Crispy roasted potatoes: baking soda is the secret

roast to a higher temperature, so if you have folks who like their meat more done, you’re good to go.

Rub meat all over with olive oil. Then sprinkle lightly but nicely with rub, patting the rub in as needed. Place in sprayed roasting pan, pour red wine mixture in the bottom of the pan, and roast until thickest part registers about 125-135 for rare to medium-rare, or 140-150 for medium. Check every once in a while since you don’t want to over cook or meat will be dry. Know that the slimmer end will

Serve with pan juices if desired. Equally delicious at room temperature or chilled. Tip: Tenderloin is yummy with a premade rub, too. Check out abouteating.com for ideas. A plain quality olive oil with salt and freshly ground pepper is excellent, too.

Please help families in our community this holiday season Michael T. LaRosa Guest Columnist Community Press

We all know that hunger exists in our communities, but we may not fully understand to what extent. The reality is that one-in-ﬁ ve children in Cincinnati are food insecure, meaning they are unsure of where their next meal will come from. In our community, Freestore Foodbank collaborates with over 500 regional agencies to serve a 20-county area, distributing 33 million meals annually. Freestore Foodbank provides a number of innovative programs that are tailored to meet the needs of those experiencing food insecurity in an accessible way. Whether it’s through schools, the VA clinic, medical providers, mobile markets, or other channels, Freestore

Foodbank works to tangibly improve lives by eliminating hunger. In many Tristate communities, a sizable percentage of students rely on their school’s free and reduced meals throughout the week. As a supplement, Freestore Foodbank’s ‘Power Pack’ program sends packages of food home with students to ensure they have food on weekends. Each Power Pack contains over a dozen food items that are shelf-stable and kid-friendly. When I asked how the Power Pack program impacts the lives of students, Freestore Foodbank’s Executive Director Kurt Reiber told the story of a young boy who is a Power Pack recipient. The child’s school had recently been added for Power Pack distribution; when the boy received a Power Pack for the ﬁ rst time he asked his teacher if he would continue to receive the food on a regular basis. His teacher told him that

he would be given a Power Pack each week, and the young boy responded with relief saying that his parents had to sell all of his toys to pay their family’s rent, but now with this food he would be able to help his whole family have something to eat. There’s a rawness in that story; the honest struggle that’s only revealed through the openness of a child. It’s easy to make ourselves the center of the holiday season; our own families, children and loved ones; the stressors of shopping, planning and preparing. But in the spirit of the season this year, consider shifting your focus to giving back. From people you’ve never met, to the neighbor you never knew struggled, help local families have a happier holiday season by participating in the LaRosa’s “Feed Our Neighbors In Need” program. To help, consider stopping by any Greater Cincinnati LaRosa’s Family Pizzeria location from Nov. 18 through Dec.

31 and for a $10 Buddy Card – we’ll contribute $ 5 to Freestore Foodbank when you do (The $ 10 Buddy Card is good for a free large cheese pizza with the purchase of any large pizza, and is good for 14 uses, or 14 free large cheese pizzas within one year). I hope you’ll join us in helping our family help other families by participating in the “Feed Our Neighbors In Need” program. For a full list of pizzeria locations, visit www.larosas.com/ﬁ nd. For more information about the good work of the Freestore Foodbank, visit http://freestorefoodbank.org. Michael T. LaRosa is Chief Executive Oﬃ cer of LaRosa’s, Inc. LaRosa’s was founded in 1954 on Cincinnati’s West Side by Buddy LaRosa. It is now a $167 million restaurant company with 65 pizzerias serving neighborhoods in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.

2020 Jeﬀ erson Award: Nominate a deserving volunteer Peggy Kreimer Hodgson The Rotary Club of Cincinnati

The Jeff erson Awards have been called the the Nobel Prizes for community service, and the next winner could be in Greater Cincinnati’s back yard, said Bill Shula, who coordinates the local nomination process for The Rotary Club of Cincinnati. Nominations are being accepted from the public through Jan. 17, 2020. Applications are available at www.cincinnati.com/jeff ersonawards. Shula chairs the Jeff erson Award

Committee that will choose a local winner to compete for the national award. In the past 15 years, eight local winners have gone on to receive the national award, said Shula, of Bethel, Ohio. In 2019, Tim Arnold of Northside, who founded Lawn Life to give jobs and a second chance to at-risk young people, won the national award. Other recent national winners were Nancy Eigel-Miller of Mariemont, honored in 2018 for suicide prevention work, and Suzy DeYoung of Milford, honored in 2017, for creating a non-profit that enlists restaurant owners to help

feed low income families. The Jeff erson Awards is a program of the national non-profi t Multiplying Good, which promotes community service and presents the national Jeff erson Awards honoring outstanding service in more than a dozen categories, from service by public offi cials and professional sports fi gures to service by private citizens, students and corporations. The local nomination process is for the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Award for Outstanding Public Service Benefi ting Local Communities, part of the overall Jeff erson Awards. Winners are cho-

sen in more than 90 communities throughout the country. The Rotary Club of Cincinnati administers the program here, with partners The Cincinnati Enquirer and WKRC-TV Local 12. Nominees do not have to be Rotary members. Bob Herzog of Local 12 will honor three local fi nalists and present the local Jeff erson Award at the weekly Rotary luncheon Feb. 27 at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza Hotel, downtown. The winning nominee becomes one of 90 national fi nalists. Typically, fi ve national winners are honored in a ceremony in Washington, D.C., in June.

Sports CNE athletes leave mark on fall sports Having established itself as the best athletic program in the Southern Buckeye Athletic and Academic Conference’s National Division a year ago, Clermont Northeastern High School has no intention of giving up that distinction. CNE won its fi rst SBAAC National Division All-Sports Award in 2018-2019 and is setting a similar pace through the fi rst portion of 2019-2020. The Rockets were regular-season champions in boys golf, fi nished second in football (tied) girls golf, girls tennis and volleyball, and third in boys cross country, girls cross country, boys soccer and girls soccer. The fall performance has CNE atop the All-Sports standings with 35.5 points, 7.5 ahead of second-place Bethel-Tate. Points are awarded based on where a

team fi nishes in the league standings, and on the number of schools that participate in that sport. Last year, CNE led Bethel-Tate by seven points – 37-30 – after the fall season. One-hundred-forty-seven students participated in fall sports; several played more than one sport. Austin Yeager was fi rst-team All-SBAAC in golf and soccer. Abbey Puckett was fi rst-team AllSBAAC in cross country and secondteam in soccer; Kylie Hoerth was second-team in cross country and soccer. Here is a look at each of the CNE fall sports: Boys cross country Finish: Third in league meet. Sophomore Summit Northrup was CNE’s top runner, placing second in the

league meet in a time of 17 minutes, 44.88 seconds, and advancing to the Division II regional championships. He was CNE’s fi rst regional qualifi er since 2003. Another sophomore, Clayton Hodge, placed seventh in the league meet (18:41.14). CNE won four meets, fi nished second in one, third in fi ve, and fi fth at district.

Greater Cincinnati football recruits line up college oﬀ ers and visits Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

From the early morning hours of Dec. 18 until late afternoon, numerous Greater Cincinnati student-athletes will be in ceremonies for college football's early signing day. In recent years, it has become more common than the traditional signing day (Feb. 5). Players can still wait to sign in February, but often when colleges announce their full classes in winter, many of them have been signed for nearly two months and some will have already enrolled early and begun conditioning. Such will be the case for Princeton High School/Ohio State commits Paris Johnson Jr. and Darrion Henry. Until signing Dec. 18 or Feb. 5, verbal

commitments are not binding. However, here's the latest notes on commits, visits and off ers. The fl ip An Iowa State commit from the summer, Division II Off ensive Player of the Year Miyan Williams of Winton Woods made the most of a recent visit to Ohio State and switched allegiances to the Buckeyes. Meantime, teammate DeMeer Blankumsee (wide receiver) is still open for business after de-committing from Toledo. Though they fell short mathematically in the playoff s, Winton Woods knocked off this year's Division II (La Salle) and Division III (Trotwood-Madison) champions. Williams now joins Johnson and Henry of Princeton, Elder tight end Joe Royer and lineman Jakob

James and La Salle kicker Jake Seibert moving on to OSU. Kiner's Corner Next year's odds-on favorite for Mr. Football (won by Wyoming's Evan Prater, a Cincinnati Bearcat commit this year) is Corey Kiner of Roger Bacon. Kiner has oﬀ ers from most major players in college football and just picked one up from the top seed in the College Football Playoﬀ , LSU. He also visited Nippert Stadium for UC's last home game and was photographed with 2016's Ohio Mr. Football Michael Warren II. Though the odds are heavy, keeping Kiner home with Prater would likely sell a ticket or two. Before anyone gets too worked up, Kiner also visited Michigan at the end of November and was photographed with

former Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson. Local 'Cats In addition to Prater, who is scheduled to sign around lunchtime Dec. 18. Luke Fickell's UC Bearcats have reached out to a number of locals, including Princeton defensive back Leroy Bowers. Bowers has also picked up off ers from Akron and Pitt recently. He would eventually join teammate Jaheim Thomas should he choose the Bearcats. The UC coaching staff appears to be stacking up on preferred walk-ons with off ers out to Roger Bacon off ensive lineman Nolan Tebbe, Fairfi eld receiver Phil Thomas and Anderson all-purpose man James Camden.

President The Centers for Disease Con& CEO trol and Prevention estimates that each year the flu causes employees to miss approximately 17 million workdays, totaling $7 billion in sick days and lost productivity.The annual direct costs of the flu, including hospital or doctor’s office visits and medications, totals $4.6 billion in the United States, according to the CDC. Flu is more than an inconvenience, though. Many people -- young children, pregnant women, people with chronic health conditions such as asthma, diabetes or heart and lung disease, and people 65 years and older —are at risk for serious complications from the flu. But flu is preventable.These simple steps can help you stay healthy and keep others from getting sick. • Get a flu shot. Everyone ages 6 months and older should get one each year. • Wash with W h your hands h d often ft ith soa ap and water to reduce the spread of germs. • Avoid contact with people wh ho are sick. If you are sick, stay home from work or schoo ol.

SCHOOL NEWS UC Clermont professor creates patent for breakthrough chemotherapy technology UC Clermont College chemistry Professor Cliff Larrabee has a lofty goal: to cure cancer. And with his latest research now pending patent, he is one step closer to that goal. “I don’t know anyone who doesn’t know someone aff ected by cancer,” Larrabee said. “And for the students working with me in the lab, the research has contributed directly to a potential cancer treatment.” Larrabee has worked with UC Clermont students on cancer research since 2009, and last summer, he submitted a patent with co-inventor and former student Mary Warmin, who is now the senior chemistry lab associate for the Science & Health Department. The patent is for a new nanocarrier targeted drug delivery system based on undecylenic acid — i.e., a more eff ective method of delivering chemotherapy drugs to cancer patients. Nanocarriers are even smaller than cells and help drugs dissolve in the blood and protect them from the body’s defense mechanisms. The patent, which Larrabee and Warmin submitted through the University of Cincinnati’s Offi ce of Innovation, was recently fi led internationally. “I would like to see cancer cured or at least tamed,” Larrabee said. “This patent application is the result of many years of hard work in UC Clermont’s labs and by our students.” UC Clermont students have worked with Larrabee in his research lab on campus since 2009, with their stints sponsored by UC’s Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) initiative and by the UC Offi ce of Research. Over time, the college Dean’s Offi ce began providing additional support, and today, students conduct research with Larrabee’s guidance through independent study and in teams. Twenty-one UC Clermont students have been involved in his research. He has also helped students pursue publication and present their research at a number of national and international conferences. Larrabee believes the potential uses of the new technology could also deliver antibiotics to cancer tumors and possibly slow, or prevent metastasis. “You can kill cancer stem cells with antibiotics,” Larrabee said. “And if you can kill them before they differentiate, maybe you can prevent metastasis.” For anyone who has an idea with potential commercial impact, or who is interested learning more about UC’s Offi ce of Innovation, visit innovation.uc.edu.

Five tips to help your child be successful now and beyond high school By Jory Edlin “Where did the time go?” Almost daily I hear a parent utter these words, lamenting the fact that the 12 years between kindergarten and the high school senior year fl ew by at warp speed. This is a special time when parents can assist their kids and teens in preparing for the life ahead of them. They need life skills they will use forever. Academic abilities are essential, but there is much more a child needs prior to and at this stage. Here are tips for how parents can ready their children for a successful post-high school life: 1. Teach them basic money management skills Edlin An allowance is a great way to help children grasp the concept of earning and accumulating money from a young age. Make sure you give your child opportunities to understand the value of money. Some parents present a monthly sum on a debit card. When children deplete the given amount before the month is up, they learn valuable lessons on budgeting and learning to live within their means. When you travel to the grocery store, bring your child along to comparison shop brands and items. Consider sharing your family budget so your child can see how you manage your income and expenses. 2. Talk career early and often It’s never too early to ask children about which types of careers sound interesting. Encourage your child to ask other adultsabout their journey to achieve their career. As your child gets closer to high school, perform research together on what strengths (academic and otherwise) translate into career possibilities. 3. Don’t solve your child’s problems Life and school will always present ups and downs. Children need to know how to approach challenges methodically and with confi dence and optimism. Be there to support your child, but you are doing your child no favors by hovering over them as a “helicopter parent.” Children are resilient. They can fi x more problems than parents often believe possible. Kids should be encouraged to take responsibility and ownership for school—and all that comes with it. 4. Teach your child to think critically In everyday conversation, parents can teach their children to be curious and inquisitive. Invite your child to share with you how they analyze problems and come up with a variety of alternate solutions. When your child shows you completed homework, ask how the answers were determined and what steps

were taken to obtain their conclusions. Invite questions about every experience from why grass is green to how a caterpillar turns into a butterﬂ y. 5. Show your child how to be resourceful What do you do when your key jams in a door lock? Who do you call when your car breaks down? In college and life beyond, adults are expected to ﬁ gure it out. Why not start early by encouraging perseverance through challenges? When things don’t go your way, calmly ask your child how they would solve the problem. Chances are they will learn to fearlessly face obstacles and be able to think of various ways they can get out of a jam without panicking. Jory Edlin is a retired teacher. He is Operations Manager of the Huntington Learning Center of Anderson.

CNE percussionists feel the beat at international convention Clermont Northeastern High School musicians love to perform, and they’re not afraid of a little competition. They were able to experience both in November in Indianapolis. For the second year, CNE sent a group to the Percussive Arts Society International Convention in the Indiana capital, where the school’s drumline went against similar groups from across the country. They didn’t win, but band director Chris Moore said the experience was invaluable for the 41 members who attended. “It gives them that competitive aspect of something you can go to. It’s neat for them to see another drumline. Something to prepare,” he said. Drumlines are the percussion section of a band – snare drums, bass drums, cymbals etc … Moore conducted auditions to select who would represent the school at the convention. Thirty musicians competed and 11 others accompanied. “Last year I found out about this drumline battle, and we have a pretty good drumline, so I said, ‘Oh, let’s go check it out,’” Moore said. He was teaching a musical arranging class and Moore asked a former student to help write some pieces for the group. “That was last year. This year, we started integrating things early in the marching season, in our full marching band show when the percussion would do a drum break, it was part of the material that we were going to play later, so we were partly trying to prep them ahead of time,” Moore said. The competition is in a single-elimination, bracketstyle format, with all bands in the same fi eld – rather high school, college or community. Indiana University, for example, was one the participating drumlines. Another drumline, from Texas, has performed at the largest haunted house in Texas and was two-time defending champion, but lost to IU in the fi rst round. CNE had a fi rst-round “bye” before competing against the Free Players Drum Corps from New York. Free Players is made up of special needs students. “They had the crowd on their side. They had a lot of parents there. It’s a really neat group, I guess they’ve been together for about 10 years working,” Moore said, Crowd reaction was one of three criteria by which groups were judged. Technical ability and showmanship were the others. “I’m not a percussion player, I’m a trumpet player, so the showmanship part is like the easiest part for me to envision. Sometimes our kids are passive about it and sometimes it’s the technique that’s lacking, so when you’re going against like Indiana University, their technical ability is amazing, so if we were going against them, you’d have to rely on showmanship or the crowd reaction to win,” Moore said. Each head-to-head battle is about 15 minutes long, in a kind of “dueling banjos” setup. The fi rst group, determined by coin toss, will play for a few minutes, then give way to the second, and back-and-forth one more time. While his team did not advance (there was no consolation bracket), Moore said they received positive reviews from event organizers. The convention included a large exhibit hall and several clinics musicians could attend. Carlos Santana’s wife, Cindy Blackman, was among the featured guests in 2018.

Members also prepared a handbook for future competitions. “Drummers almost stand still, in our band the kids dance, so that’s not really any uniform thing for the drums, so we came up with terminology, it’s almost like a handbook, the drum movement terminology, so we have that moving forward, which is a cool thing that we kind of developed,” Moore said.

Cardinal Pacelli School sponsors Honor Flights Cardinal Pacelli staﬀ and students have a special place in their hearts for America’s military families. Designated a Purple Star school in 2019, Cardinal Pacelli shows its support for current and former service men and women in myriad ways. The Purple Star designation from the Ohio Department of Education is meant to recognize schools that are military-friendly. Cardinal Pacelli hosts an annual Veterans Day Celebration and Girls Basketball Tournament, holds a “Purple Up” day to raise funds for the Gary Sinise Foundation, and posts information and resources on their school website to bring awareness to the men, women and families who make up our military. The sixth-grade Girl Scouts made paracord bracelets to beneﬁ t Operation Gratitude, an organization that sends care packages to service men and women. At this year’s Veterans Day celebration, 27 veterans representing all branches of the military, were honored. For teachers Ellen Habel and Jamie SchwendeSee SCHOOLS, Page 8B

COMMUNITY NEWS New Year Eve Gala at Patriot Center

Dan Wolfangel, American Legion Post 318

The Patriot Center will be welcoming in the 2020 New Year with a gala New Year’s Eve Party on Tuesday, Dec. 31. Whether you are an avid dancer, or just looking for a place to enjoy some good music as you celebrate the incoming New Year with old and new friends, the Patriot Center is the place to be. The Patriot Center is located at 6660 Clough Pike, hosted by Anderson American Legion Post #318. Music will be provided by the fabulous, across the decade sounds, of the “The Cincy Rockers.” This event is from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., with doors opening at 8 PM, and reservations are required as this event has been an early sell-out every year. In addition to good music and dancing, the evening includes party favors, table snacks, and a celebratory champagne toast at mid-night, and you are also welcome to bring in appetizers or ﬁ nger food for your group. A full service cash bar is available for all of your beverage desires. Since this is a license permit premise, no beverages of any kind may be brought in, and you must be 21 years of age to attend. Tickets for this event are $25 per person, and must be purchased in advance, There will be no at-thedoor sale of tickets. Tickets are now available for purchase on-line at www.showclix.com/search/Patriot Center of Cincinnati or or by phone at 888-718-4253, selecting Option 1, and asking for Patriot Center of Cincinnati events. A link to the ticket site is also available through www.post318.org. Get a group together for this event and get your tickets early so you don’t get shut out.

Introducing ‘Exercise For Cancer’ classes at Cincinnati Sports Club Cincinnati Sports Club will begin holding special “Exercise For Cancer” classes designed specifi cally for those who have been weakened by their cancer treatments beginning Tuesday, Jan. 7. The hour-long classes are open to both members and non-members and will be held each Tuesday and Thursday from 1-2 p.m. in sessions that are eight weeks each. The classes will be led by Cincinnati Sports Club Private Trainer and ACE (American Council of Exercise) Cancer Care Specialist Claire WellingWellington ton. Wellington was inspired to teach these classes after witnessing fi rsthand the diff erence that exercise made in the life of her father after being treated with both chemotherapy and radiation for Stage 4 Lung and Lymph Node Cancer. Says Wellington, “My dad was given a very grim outlook after being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. He had 9 weeks of radiation followed by a few weeks of chemotherapy which left him feeling weak, exhausted and not at all himself. My siblings and I decided that we needed to get him out of the house and moving, so we signed him up for the “60 for 60” program at Cincinnati Sports Club. He came to the Club faithfully every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10 a.m., and we saw an immediate change in him. He improved his strength and stamina, made a lot of new friends, and his entire mental outlook changed as well. After the initial 60 days in the program had concluded, he de-

man it was important for every student to play a role. The lower grades sang “Yankee Doodle Dandy,” band members played “The Star-Spangled Banner,” emcees Lei Lei Pham and Maggie McDowell introduced each veteran, and junior high students read personal reﬂ ections. Kindergartener Brooks Bruemmer wowed the audience with “God Bless America.” Annah McDowell, mother of eighth-grader Maggie,

cided to enroll as a full member. He died a few years later, but I am a fi rm believer that we had an extra 2 years with him due to his regular exercise regime, and am extremely grateful for that time. Exercise not only improves strength and endurance, but it lifts your spirits and builds your self-confi dence. For this reason, I decided that I had to be involved in the launch of this exciting, new exercise program in honor of my father, as we are upon the 6th anniversary of his passing. I want to give back to others who have undergone or are undergoing cancer treatments, and show them the diff erence that consistent exercise can make in their lives.” A typical “Exercise for Cancer” class will include a blood pressure and pulse oximeter test at the onset, followed by a 15-minute warm-up, 20 minutes of strength training and 20 minutes of cardio. Each participant will receive ongoing expertise, guidance and support from Claire Wellington in a structured format along with an exercise band for at-home use, and the accompanying LiveStrong booklet. The cost for Cincinnati Sports Club members to enroll in the eight-week session is $20. Non-members must register to enroll in the “60 for 60” PREP program at a fee of $60.00. Now in its 30th year, and locally owned and operated, Cincinnati Sports Club has grown steadily across 16 sprawling acres at 3950 Red Bank Road in Fairfax, Ohio. It is accessible by three street entrances – at 3950 Red Bank Road, 5535 Murray Avenue and 3939 Virginia Avenue. For more information on the Exercise for Cancer program or membership, visit www.CincinnatiSportsClub.com, or call 513-527-4000. Julie Whitney, Phillippi-Whitney Communications LLC

was one of the honorees. McDowell graduated from West Point in 1994 and deployed to Bosnia twice. She said, “It was great to be part of something where kids could learn about and appreciate what veterans of multiple generations have done for our country.” The Nov. 11 celebration culminated in a special announcement: through the school’s fundraising eﬀ orts, $4,211.89 was collected to send seven veterans on Honor Flight. The money will be donated to the Honor Flight Network, which transports veterans to Washington, D.C., to visit and reﬂ ect at their memorials. Alisa Fisher, Cardinal Pacelli School

Emily Carroll, of New York City, is a 2016 medical-school graduate who just finished her residency. She is applying for fellowships and expects to get news (fingers crossed!) around the time this crossword is published. The genesis of the puzzle was 41-Across, with its unusual letter pattern. Part of that pattern led her to think of 110-Across, which became the puzzle’s ‘‘revealer’’ entry. This is Emily’s 10th crossword for The Times and her second Sunday. — W.S.
