Sayler Park residents, Ellen and Garrett Gerard believe coff ee is a “unifying force” that brings communities together — one sip at a time. The couple followed their belief and opened a vibrant coff ee shop in the Sayler Park neighborhood. After a year-long process, the doors of Sayler Park Coff ee Shop were opened to customers Dec. 19. “We are thrilled that people fi nally get to come inside,” Ellen Gerard said. “This is a really strong community where people want to show their support. As the world changes and becomes more digital, I still value face-to-face interactions with my neighbors. I know others do too.” One of the many purposes of the coff ee shop, located at 6557 Gracely Drive, is to give back to the neighborhood, they said. While the couple will cover operating costs and payroll, their profi ts will be donated back to the community. They also want to help revitalize and beautify the neighborhood’s business district. “When we moved here from Covington almost seven years ago, we were embraced by this neighbor-

The Travel Channel is releasing a new ghost-hunting series called, “Trending Fear” and a Harrison resident is one of the hosts. Paul Bradford, ghost hunter, lead investigator and local hosts the show along with Adam Ellis and Jen Lewis. “I got into the paranormal at the age of, I guess, 5, when ‘Ghostbusters’ came out,” Bradford said. “I grew up wanting to be a Ghostbuster, really.” Bradford is from the United Kingdom. This isn’t the fi rst ghost-hunting show that he’s been a part of; he was also in Syfy‘s “Ghost Hunters International.” “The idea was very diff erent from what I’d done before, as well as the fact that it was there to help people as opposed to just check out how cool this location is,” Bradford said. “It was one that was going to deal with going into residential locations, peoples homes and trying to genuinely help these families understand what’s going on, and even if we can put some sort of closure on that situation.” There are six episodes, each one in a diff erent part of the country. The episodes feature voodoo, haunting, ghostly voices and more. So far in Greater Cincinnati, Bradford has visited Bobby Mackey’s, the See BRADFORD , Page 2A

No more ﬁ ghting: Parking garages for both FC Cincinnati and Findlay Market Sharon Coolidge and Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Soccer fans will soon have a place to park at FC Cincinnati’s new stadium in the West End. And Findlay Market shoppers will also get a new garage in a deal cut between Hamilton County and the soccer team. The Hamilton County Board of Commissioners passed the deal Thursday, Dec. 19. Under the deal – months in the works – the county will build an 800-space parking garage just north of the stadium and then, after that’s ﬁ nished, build another garage near Findlay Market with at least 300 spaces. County oﬃ cials said they haven’t determined how much it will cost to park in the facilities.

Who gets the money? Under terms of the deal, the team would get 85 percent of parking revenue on game days from the 830-850 space garage at Wade and John streets in the West End. There are 17 home games on FCC’s 2020 schedule, which is typical of future schedules.

It will be on the site of the former Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, which is directly north of the stadium. The team would also get 85 percent of revenue from another 100 surface lot spaces on land where the Findlay Market garage will go, and later when it is built, from 300 garage spaces. That site has not been disclosed. On other days when there isn’t a soccer game, concert or other stadium event, the county is set to get 100 percent of the garage revenue. If the county doesn’t make enough off the garage to meet debt and repair expenses, the game-day revenues will be split 50/50 on both garages for a limited number of years (years 3-12 on the garage by the stadium and the fi rst three years of the Findlay garage.) Planning documents fi led with the City of Cincinnati earlier this month show the team is seeking to build the garage between Wade and Bauer streets in the West End, which would eliminate Wade Street between John Street and Central Avenue. That plan has yet to be approved by the Cincinnati Planning Commission. The stadium garage is expected to break ground as soon as February,

opening when the stadium does in 2021. The deal calls for the Findlay Market garage to start construction no more than 12 months after that. FC Cincinnati is delivering the Jehovah’s Witness site pad-ready, at its own cost. But because the county is solely responsible for construction, the county will also be responsible for maintenance when needed.

How did we get here? In 2017 the Board of Hamilton County Commissioners took three votes pledging to build a 1,000-space parking garage near the stadium site. But soon after, the make-up of the commission changed and concern from county oﬃ cials grew about making sure the county did not lose money on the garage. A recent iteration of a proposed deal, obtained by the Enquirer, showed the county wanted to infuse $3 million into the project and borrow the rest of the

needed money, with the team covering any shortfalls in the ﬁ nancing. That is no longer part of this deal. In the new deal, the ﬁ nancing is up to the county. In the agreement, FC Cincinnati agreed to support the county’s request to the General Assembly for $5 million. The team is building a $250 million stadium in the West End. Cincinnati City Council approved almost $35 million in funding help for infrastructure needs. The garage will sit just north of the stadium on land that is Wade Street now, a request pending before the Cincinnati Planning Commission. The team has scooped up land surrounding the stadium intended for mixed-use development. City planning documents show zoning for bars and restaurants and possibly a hotel. Under this deal, should a hotel be developed on team-owned land, the garage would provide the parking, further ensuring the garage does not lose money.

She missed the camaraderie with neighbors, so she decided it was time to share the joy. “I was excited about living in Sayler Park,” she said. “However, I was also worried that there wasn’t a vibrant space for people to hang out with each other. It was my only hesitation when we moved here. I was like ‘there’s no coffee shop.’ If we’re getting rid of that hesitation for other people — that’s great.”

Product innovation, employee loyalty help Casco thrive for 60 years Casco Manufacturing Solutions of Camp Washington in Cincinnati celebrates 60 years in business this year as a third-generation, family-owned manufacturer of soft goods. Its facility at 3107 Spring Grove Ave., in Camp Washington’s historic industrial district harkens back to a time when workers didn’t need a high school education to get a job, much less a college degree. It speaks to an era when workers and managers mingled at the annual Christmas party, and bosses gave workers a ride home at night if they needed one. That’s the way it was at Casco 60 years ago — and it’s still that way today. “We’re proud of our employees’ loyalty and dedication to excellence,” said Melissa Mangold, Casco CEO since 2002. “We’ve gone through a lot of changes over 60 years, but one thing hasn’t changed. We were a family then and are still a family today. We try to live by the ‘Golden Rule.’” The company started with “a piece of fabric,” according to its website. In 1959, Alvera and Robert Wolfe, Mangold’s aunt and uncle, established Cincinnati Auto Seat Cover Company (now Casco Manufacturing Solutions), sewing car seat covers and ﬂ oor mats for the American auto industry. Twenty years later, the company was a national industry leader with 200 employees. Tom and Teri Mangold, Melissa’s parents, purchased Casco when Bob and Vera retired in 1977. Melissa had worked for Casco as a teen, went east for a few years, and returned in 1990. Mangold and her sisters, Cheryl Cavendish, Penny Herr and Christi Norton all began working at Casco during vacation breaks as teenagers.

The Mangold family celebrating Casco Manufacturing Solutions’ 60th anniversary include, from left: Christi Mangold Norton; Melissa Mangold, Casco president and owner; father Thomas Mangold; mother Teri Mangold; Penny Mangold Herr; and Cheryl Mangold Cavendish. PHOTOS BY FAITH GEORGE

Today, Casco remains an original equipment manufacturer specializing in cutting, sealing, and sewing topquality products for soft goods industry leaders. Casco also manufactures its own C-Matt hospital line of mattresses and covers, and recently developed the Casco Prevention Plus Pad, a wheelchair pad designed to help eliminate “hot spots” for wheelchair patients to prevent, as well as heal pressure injuries. The Mangold family, employees and friends celebrated recently with a party. Casco employees Iva Deese; Bernice Hudler; Jeﬀ Hummeldorf; and Maurice

Williams received 25-year service awards. Mangold also announced the establishment of the Thomas W. Mangold scholarship in industrial design at the University of Cincinnati. The scholarship is named after Melissa’s father, now 93. Today Casco is one of a handful of U.S. soft goods manufacturers left in the nation. Most Casco employees are industrial sewing operators who come from three demographics: legal Asian immigrants with industrial sewing experience, some who struggle with English; former inmates just released from

prison; and recovering addicts completing drug and alcohol programs developing career workforce skills. “Casco is a place where you can get a ﬁ rst or second chance to work,” said Mangold. “We’ll work with you and train you. I really feel my role in life is to provide jobs for others.” For more information about Casco products, visit www.cascomfg.com or call the oﬃ ce at (513) 681-0003.

Winter sets the mood for turkey lentil chili Turkey lentil chili I adapted the recipe Mary Ann shared just a bit. My adaptations are in parenthesis. Either is equally good.

Remove lid and serve.

INGREDIENTS

Regular pressure cooker:

1 pound ground turkey

Add a bit of olive oil and turn heat to medium. Add turkey, onions, garlic, paste and salt and cook until onions are soft.

1 medium yellow onion, diced 2 minced garlic cloves 2 tablespoons tomato paste (freeze the rest)

Add everything else. Cover, seal and cook on high pressure 15 minutes. (Follow manufacturer’s directions.) Allow pressure to reduce naturally.

1 1⁄ 2teaspoons salt 1 cup dry green lentils (see tip)

Serve with garnishes.

2 cups water (I used 3 cups chicken broth)

On stovetop in pot:

8 oz. tomato sauce 14.5 oz. can petite diced tomatoes (I used home canned) 4 oz. can diced green chiles (I subbed in a scant 1/4 teaspoon chipotle pepper powder)

Turkey lentil chili is a good cold-weather dish. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

I can tell by gazing out my kitchen window that winter has arrived on my little patch of heaven. I can see the East Fork river through the bare trees on the hill. Today, the sun is throwing sparkling patches of light on the water. It puts me in the mood for a big pot of turkey lentil chili. I have Eastside reader Mary Ann Guappone to thank for the recipe.

She told me about cooking this green lentil chili recipe in her Instapot. “We eat very little processed foods. It’s such a joy to create delicious, healthy food,” she said. Well, I made it and want you to do the same. Delish! Given that the food excesses of the holidays are behind us (or just about…) turkey lentil chili starts the new year out in a good way. Anyway, I made it in my stovetop pressure cooker since my Instapot was on loan. It can be made in a slow cooker or on top of the stove in a regular pot.

Top with sour cream and diced green onions.

2 teaspoons chili powder blend (I used 1 tablespoon)

Follow directions for regular pressure cooker but when you get to the point of adding everything, bring it to a boil, lower to a simmer and cover, cooking until lentils are done, about 30 minutes or so. You may need to add more liquid. Slow cooker:

1 teaspoon cumin

On site for original recipe: 365daysofcrockpot.com

Pepper to taste

TIP

INSTRUCTIONS

Lentil lingo: brown vs. green

Instapot:

I grew up eating brown lentils so those will work in this recipe. They won’t keep their shape as well as green.

Turn to sauté. Add a bit of olive oil and cook turkey until it starts to brown. Add onions, garlic, paste and salt and cook until onions are soft. Add everything else. Cover and turn to “manual,” set timer to 13 minutes. Make sure valve is set to “sealing.”

Are all green lentils the same? Nope - depends on where they’re grown. Check out my site for tutorial on all varieties. Good for you

When timer beeps, let sit 10 minutes, then slowly release pressure by moving valve to “venting.”

Lentils are low-fat with high amounts of protein, ﬁ ber, calcium, iron, and more. No soaking required!

A head start on a new life: Man gets early release from prison Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The year 2019 was David Bryers’ ﬁ rst chance to celebrate Christmas as an adult outside of prison. In 2012 – just a few months after his 18th birthday – Bryers committed two robberies in West Price Hill. Prosecutors said he also ﬁ red a gun at a pair of victims. For that, he was sentenced to eight years in prison, but was released early in December. He served seven years and four months of his sentence. It was Bryers’ drive to better himself that brought about his freedom. And he had help from the Ohio Justice and Policy Center’s Beyond Guilt program “I was glad that I got a head start to getting my life back on track,” Bryers told The Enquirer. The Beyond Guilt program is designed to help incarcerated people who have been rehabilitated and are ready to rejoin society. Launched in April, the program has seen success this year in obtaining early release or shortened sentences for a number of clients. For Bryers, it was an easy sell. His attorney, Sasha Naiman, said he had a strong case.

participated in substance abuse programs, anger management and strengthened his interpersonal skills. “I knew that being in prison wasn’t going to last forever,” Bryers said. “I knew I had to learn skills and get ready to do normal-people things.”

You need skills

Healthy living

After a challenge from his uncle in 2016, Bryers obtained his GED in just three weeks. From behind bars, he enrolled in Sinclair Community College where he achieved a 4.0 GPA and made the dean’s list. There was the six-month plumbing program and a year’s worth of training in oﬃ ce tasks. On top of furthering his education, he

When Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Tom Heekin approved his early release, Bryers could see his mother, but couldn’t hug her. There was still paperwork and processing that had to be done. After that, it was time for his ﬁ rst meal in freedom: salmon on a bed of ﬁ eld greens with avocado sauce from the Sleepy Bee in Oakley.

David Bryers and his mother, Denise Bryers. CAMERON KNIGHT/THE ENQUIRER

Bryers and his mother, Denise Bryers, share a common bond of fi tness, selfproclaimed “health nuts.” Soon after her son went to prison, she started her own company, Bootcamp Cincinnati, which now has a training studio in Silverton and off ers classes in Woodlawn. Bryers was inspired by his mother and started getting in shape in prison. He boasts that when he went in he weighed 129 pounds, and now he’s 160 pounds with 7 percent body fat. He’s studying to get his personal trainer certifi cate now, and plans to join the family business. Until then, he’ll work in construction with the help of a OSHA safety training certifi cation he also earned while incarcerated. The support and frequent visits

Bryers got while he was in prison from his mother and other family members got him through. He said not everyone inside has that luxury. “It’s a living hell in there,” he said. It’s already been an adjustment getting used to “not being surrounded by chaos.” He said about “half the population up there” at the Southeastern Correctional Institution were people like him who did something in the late teens or early 20s and received long sentences. “When I saw those kids coming through the door, It hurt me because I knew the long road they were going to have to endure,” he said. He and his mother both believe there should be stronger diversion programs for troubled teens like mandatory mentorship and behavioral programs. “You’re not thinking clearly at that age,” Bryers said. In prison, he surrounded himself with older people who stayed out of trouble. They taught him the mantra: “One second of restraint can save you a lifetime of pain and regret.”

‘I’m not the only person who changed’ “Can I have another hug?” Bryers asked his attorney. Sasha Naiman grabbed him tightly in the Cincinnati oﬃ ces the Ohio Justice and Policy Center. Naiman and the others there keep quietly working on cases in which they believe people were sentenced too harshly or have truly been rehabilitated. Bryers can see that the program has been eﬀ ective, and not just in his case. “I’m not the only person who changed,” Bryers told The Enquirer.

things to know about Cincinnati’s newest state lawmaker

Jessie Balmert Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS – Recently appointed state Rep. Cindy Abrams has served as an elected offi cial for nearly four years, but she still uses air quotes when uses the term “politician.” “I’m still not a politician,” Abrams said during an interview with The Enquirer in her Riff e Center offi ce, fl ashing the air quotes. “And my husband’s like, ‘Really, you are.’ “ Perhaps that’s because Abrams, 46, of Harrison, never dreamed of becoming a politician. Growing up in Crown Point, Indiana, an hour outside Chicago, she wanted to join the FBI. After studying criminal justice at Indiana University, Abrams needed a few years of police experience before applying at the bureau. That led her to join the Cincinnati Police Department in 1996. At the time, she knew little about Southwest Ohio beyond it was home to the amusement park Kings Island. Twenty-three years later, Abrams is representing western Hamilton County as the recently picked replacement for now-Sen. Bill Blessing, R-Colerain Township. Here are fi ve things to know about Cincinnati’s newest lawmaker: 1. She backs the blue Abrams served as a Cincinnati police offi cer for seven years, working in Overthe-Rhine, Clifton and for the vice department, which handles drug investigations. She met her husband, Doug, through work, and he now works as a sergeant in Evendale. “I never did apply for the FBI, because I loved what I was doing,” said Abrams, sitting at her desk, in front of

Rep. Cindy Abrams PROVIDED

fl ags with thin blue and thin red lines. Her fi rst proposed piece of legislation pulls from that law enforcement experience. Abrams and Rep. Rick Carfagna, R-Genoa Township, want to crack down on those who pay for prostitutes by creating a public registry for arrests of “johns,” pimps and traffi ckers. 2. A Pampered Chef Abrams left the police force around the time she had her two sons, Jacob and Nolan. It didn’t make sense for both parents to work a night shift, she said. A few years later, Abrams jumped from the patrol cruiser into the kitchen, becoming a Pampered Chef consultant. Abrams knew about the direct sales company because her mother raved about the products. In fact, Abrams’

mother threw her a Pampered Chef party before she left for Cincinnati. Her mother wasn’t willing to part with her favorite kitchenware. “She’s like, ‘You’re not taking my good stuﬀ . No, no, no,’” Abrams recalled. But after the party, she was properly stocked. Years later, that belief in the products helped Abrams sell Pampered Chef items to others, rising to the top 1% of sellers in the company. “When I make a decision to do something, I’m doing it. I’m all in,” Abrams said. 3. Panther pride Abrams wasn’t born in Cincinnati, so she doesn’t have a Cincinnati high school to call home. But she’s been adopted by the Elder High School community. Her husband is an Elder graduate and their two sons attend the school now. Pointing to an Elder sign in her oﬃ ce, Abrams jokes that they drank the purple Kool-Aid. “There’s something to be said about a faith-based education,” Abrams said. “We believe in that.” Some have already approached her about sponsoring an Elder High School license plate. (St. Xavier already has one thanks to Blessing.) 4. Jumping into Harrison council Abrams ran for Harrison City Council in 2016 after volunteering on the city’s planning commission. At the time, she wasn’t a well-known name in Republican politics. But Abrams started knocking on doors with her sons riding bikes behind her. In the end, she was the top vote-getter on city council that election. Once elected, Abrams made a point

to meet people in every city department. She hitched a ride on the snowplow as it salted Carolina Pines Drive on Valentine’s Day. Abrams joined the fi re department training in a fl ash-over trailer, used by the fi re marshal’s offi ce to simulate a deadly structure fi re. “When I was in there, I knew why I was a policeman and not a fi reman,” Abrams recalled. “Holy smokes, it was hot in there.” Abrams was running for Harrison mayor in 2020 when she met Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder, RPerry County, about seeking term-limited Blessing’s seat. “He said, ‘You know Cindy, you can do more not just for the city of Harrison but the whole district. You can do more from this position in the Statehouse than you ever could locally,” she recalled. 5. She leads Abrams participates in SHELeads Cincinnati and graduated from former House Speaker Jo Ann Davidson’s leadership institute in 2018. Both programs are designed to help female leaders tackle politics, from public speaking to campaign fi nance. Abrams repeated an oft-used anecdote from the Ohio Republican Party’s fi rst female leader Jane Timken. Women will hesitate before jumping into a political campaign, weighing their resumes and experience against the job description. “Men will say, ‘I’m being a state representative. Boom.’ “ That’s not to knock the men. But women need to take those same steps, Abrams said from her offi ce as a newly minted state legislator. “You just need to go for it.”

Scholarship opens a unique window for youth by providing classical music instrument lessons Back in 1998 a Cincinnati teen who loved classical music wanted to share it with youth who did not have an opportunity to hear it. Ben Carlson-Berne was a 16-year-old high school student and a classical pianist. The idea was new. No one was doing this, as his mom found out when she tried to connect him to existing community outreach eff orts. The former Arts Consortium was interested though in the idea, and let Ben lead a day camp class for kids. He made a mix of the loudest and most exuberant classical pieces he could fi nd and played it for the kids. They loved it. Their excitement blossomed, with Ben off ering to teach piano lessons and the kids eager to have them. Ben’s eff orts to get donated pianos into their homes for them to practice on followed, sometimes with whole apartment neighbors helping to haul pianos up several fl oors to a child’s home. Classical music was now a part of their lives. Fast-forward 20 years. Now there are notable outreach eff orts on the part of classical music programs, ensembles and orchestras to engage diverse audiences and communities and leave the ivory tower, but this young man was a trailblazer in Cincinnati. Tragically, Ben lost his life in 2002 in hiking accident. His vision, however, still thrives through the Ben CarlsonBerne Scholarship Fund, established in 2004 by his parents, Susan Carlson and Philip Berne. Their mission seeks to ensure that their son’s love of classical music will be shared with economically disadvantaged and underserved youth. True to Ben’s vision, there are unusual and distinctive features of the Ben Carlson-Berne Scholarship: the scholarships are interest and need-based,

not solely talent-based. The teachers are of the highest professional level and the scholarship, once awarded, can extend over the middle school and high school years so that a mentoring relationship can form between the student and the tutor. “The single most important factor in improving a student’s music ability throughout junior high and high school is the opportunity to take a weekly private lesson with a qualiﬁ ed teacher”, according to Dr. Isidore Rudnick, Fine Arts Manager for Cincinnati Public Schools. “The ability to study with, and be mentored by a professional music teacher over the course of years can have a dramatic impact on a student’s life and future. Many Cincinnati Public School orchestra students in grades 6-12 cannot

aﬀ ord to pay for private music lessons.” Upcoming event will beneﬁ t the scholarship International piano star Terrence Wilson will perform in January on behalf of the Ben Carlson-Berne Scholarship Fund to honor Ben and to further his mission. Ben met Wilson in 1998 when Terrence appeared with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Terrence and Ben shared the same vision. In a meeting arranged by his mother and the CSO, Ben sought advice from him about bringing this vision to life. Terrence expressed that he has never forgotten Ben and that he holds a special place for him in his life. This appearance will be Wilson’s second pro bono performance to further the mission. Acclaimed by the Baltimore Sun as

“one of the biggest pianistic talents to have emerged in this country in the last 25 years” pianist Terrence Wilson has appeared as soloist with the symphony orchestras of Atlanta, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Washington, DC (National Symphony), San Francisco, St. Louis, and with the orchestras of Cleveland, Minnesota, and Philadelphia and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. Conductors with whom he has worked include Christoph Eschenbach, Alan Gilbert, Neeme Järvi, Jesús López-Cobos, Lawrence Renes, Robert Spano, Yuri Temirkanov, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski and Gunther Herbig. Wilson has received numerous awards and prizes, including the SONY ES Award for Musical Excellence, an Avery Fisher Career Grant, and the Juilliard Petschek Award. Wilson is a graduate of The Juilliard School, where he studied with Yoheved Kaplinsky. The performance will take place Sunday, Jan. 12 at 7 p.m. in the Mayerson Theater at the School for Creative & Performing Arts, 103 W. Central Parkway, 45202. Wilson will perform in a program that will also include BCB Artistic Partner concert:nova and BCB alumnus Myles Yeazell. A dessert reception to meet the artists will follow the performance. All proceeds from ticket sales will go to the BCB Scholarship Fund, under the nonproﬁ t that holds the fund, Activities Beyond the Classroom. Tickets are $35 each and are available by visiting bcbscholarship.org/2020-beneﬁ t-concert or at the door.

COMMUNITY NEWS Sister of Charity of Cincinnati Bernadette Kambeitz celebrates 100th birthday Recently, friends and family of Sister of Charity Bernadette Kambeitz celebrated a century of blessings. A Sister of Charity of Cincinnati for 82 years, Sister Bernadette turned 100 years old on Dec. 13, 2019. A couple of days before her 100th birthday, Sisters and friends of Sister Bernadette refl ected on their relationships with her. Born and raised in Springfi eld, Ohio, Sister Bernadette was the oldest child of Albert and Elizabeth Kambeitz. She and her sister, Martha, attended elementary school at St. Joseph’s and high school at Catholic Central where they were taught by the Sisters of Charity for all 12 years. Sister Bernadette fondly remembers riding her bike past the convent as a little girl and witnessing their joy. What they had, she wanted, and following her high school graduation in 1937, Sister Bernadette entered the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati at the age of 17. Sister Bernadette earned her degree in education from The Athenaeum of Ohio in Cincinnati, graduating in 1942; thus began her 30-year education ministry teaching chemistry, physics and math in schools throughout the Midwest and West. Sister acknowledged the opportunities the Community provided her in those years, teaching at schools in Michigan, New Mexico and Ohio, including eight years at Seton High School in Cincinnati (1953’61). She credits those ministries as life-giving as each aff orded her a broader perspective of the world and opportunities to create deep relationships with those she met. Sister once said that her life has been characterized by a never-ending series of changes, changes that steered her into three diff erent careers. While she certainly met a lot of challenges along the way, the changes, she felt, encouraged her to grow and reach her potential. In September 1974, after 30 years in the fi eld of education, Sister Bernadette began 15 years of service in the Radial Immunoassay Lab at St. Joseph Hospital in Mount Clemens, Michigan. It was there that she met Denise Donahue. The pair quickly became close friends, and as Donahue explained Sister Bernadette was close with all of the med-techs in the lab, the matriarch of the group. “She was a friend to everyone,” Donahue said. “If you were down at the cafeteria, she would sit down and start talking … She was involved in everybody’s life – in a good way. She treated us like family, and we did the same to her.” Donahue called Sister Bernadette the eternal optimist, having a positive attitude and always fi nding the good in any situation. That part of her personality is one of the reasons she was lured to the hospital’s foundation in 1989. It was in this role that she used her optimism, compassion and relatability to cultivate relationships. The late Tony Viviano, who served on the hospital’s Board of Trustees for many years, once called Sister Bernadette his secret weapon. “If I had a big contributor I would pick up the phone and have her go visit them,” Viviano said. “She didn’t mind going; taking care of people, that was her No. 1 priority. She always knew how to comfort and relate to people and how to get them to be charitable.” It also led to Sister Bernadette being honored with the hospital’s Mission Achievement Award in 1996 for her commitment to care that knows no bounds. Those who know Sister Bernadette can speak on her ability to make a person feel as though they are the most important person in her world. She attributes that character trait to her father, whom she frequently mentions and remembers for his joyful, good-natured spirit. As a Sister of Charity, she lives the mission and charism with her compassionate heart and commitment to others. Sister Karen Hawver, who knows Sister Bernadette from her years growing up in Springfi eld, had the privi-

lege of living and ministering near Sister in Michigan for more than 30 years. She says that she has never seen such devotion and love as the employees showed to Sister Bernadette. In fact Bernie (as she aﬀ ectionately calls her) would babysit for the children of the hospital doctors. One particular family, the Hauranis, entrusted her with their four children. Following their unexpected death, “Bernie stayed with the children through the funerals and many weeks afterwards. She occupied the parent place of honor at every wedding for all of the children in later years. To this day she is very special to the Haurani children and their families. I was always so impressed by her dedication to them and their love for her.” Compassionate, kind, selﬂ ess – the secret to living a long life from Sister Bernadette’s perspective is simply living life. She gives herself to others and those who have the honor and privilege of knowing her quickly learn that she values the person they are. Erin Reder, Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati

Class Two is the “Plan to Quit” class and it takes attendees through choosing a quit date, medications that can help smokers quit the habit, the importance of support and building a support group and preparing for the quit date. Class Three is called “Your Quit Day.” This class covers topics such as how to quit successfully, dealing with nicotine withdrawal and cravings and positive thinking.

This puzzle is her debut in The Times. — W.S.
