Council votes to help FC Cincinnati stadium — and a restaurateur Sharon Coolidge and Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Ready. Set. Dig. Cincinnati City Council approved zoning for FC Cincinnati’s Major League Soccer Stadium in the West End Thursday – a measure derailed the previous Thursday at an emotional city council meeting. “We’re eager to get back to work on the site, as are local contractors, subcontractors and workers,” said FC Cincinnati President and General Manager Jeff Berding The vote will keep the privately funded $250 million stadium on track. Berding said. Opening is scheduled for March 2021, the start of the team’s second Major League Soccer season. Council hit the pause button on the zoning change after issues with stadium neighbors popped up. And that put pouring the stadium’s foundation behind schedule. It was a tense week of negotiations with fi nal deals struck hours before the council meeting. Council passed two measures: The fi rst was the actual zoning change needed for the stadium, which passed 7-0. (Christopher Smitherman and Chris Seelbach were excused.) In a separate vote, council promised to give $75,000 in city money to West End restaurant owner Monica Williams, whose business was shuttered to make way for the stadium. Without this deal, some council members wouldn’t have voted for the zoning change. Six of the seven passed a deal to fund the businesswoman’s relocation — but not without heated debate. ‘Retail is just too risky for tax dollars’ Amy Murray, who was the lone vote

against the plan, said she objected to using reserve funds and believed the full burden should have fallen on FC Cincinnati. She did oﬀ er to help Williams in any other way she could. Tamaya Dennard responded that “we cheerfully emptied our reserves for mil-

lionaires,” referring to the $8 million from reserves used for public infrastructure in support of the stadium development. The city is providing a total of about $35 million in incentives. Dennard said the marginalized people in Cincinnati continue to be an “af-

terthought.” Mayor John Cranley, a Democrat, sided with Murray, a Republican. “Retail is just too risky for tax dollars,” Cranley said, adding “It’s easy to See STADIUM, Page 2A

Wish list Continued from Page 1A

A Roselawn auto dealer, Terry Abrams, reached out to The Enquirer after reading the story of Al-Lateef and his wish for a reliable vehicle. Al-Lateef had been caring for the youngest seven of his and his wife’s nine children in an apartment rented by a homeless service nonproﬁ t. Al-Lateef ’s wife, from whom he is separated, is unable to care for the young children, twins who are 5 up to a son, 13. The eight of them are sharing a onebedroom apartment in East Westwood that is rented by Bethany House Services. They were managing to live in the apartment. The problem was Al-Lateef ’s bargain-basement Suburban that ate gas, ran “when it wanted to,” and prevented him from holding a steady job. The SUV had more than 200,000 miles on it, a battery that had to be jumped to start, bad alignment and bald tires. “It makes life that much harder,” AlLateef said in December. Enter Abrams of Abrams Automotive on Reading Road. He arranged with Bethany House staﬀ members to drive Al-Lateef to the car lot, where he picked out a van and received the keys. No charge.

“The story touched me, and I (wanted) to help because I can,” Abrams told The Enquirer. Family homelessness and the challenges that accompany it are a growing problem locally. The year 2018 was the busiest in the 35-year history of Bethany House. It served 1,300 individuals within family units, 800 of them children. Certain nonproﬁ ts, including Goodwill, accept vehicle donations. “Sometimes we think (giving) has to be this huge thing, this high-level effort,” said Woods of United Way. “But really we can all just take small steps and it can lead to a big impact. We can do this.”

Sebastian’s Greek Restaurant’s owner said the Price Hill landmark isn’t closing or for sale despite social media rumors. “No, no no,” said owner Alex Vassiliou to The Enquirer asking if the West Side restaurant was for sale. “I’m not ready to close.” He’s operated the Price Hill landmark eatery for 42 years since moving to America from Europe. The restaurant’s sign advertises daily gyro specials, Greek salads, and baklava. A social media stir started Monday after people saw a sign for Realtors at the restaurant at 5209 Glenway Ave. The sign is for Realtors meeting there for a lunch with people interested in learning how to buy a home, according to Sebastian’s Facebook page. Vassiliou lived in Greece, Sweden and Germany before moving to America.

say its a handout to FC Cincinnati, but that doesn’t make it true.” The mayor pointed out that all the money the city pledged to support the project was going toward public infrastructure. Councilman Greg Landsman, who spearheaded the deal between FC Cincinnati and restaurant owner Monica Williams, said he thought this plan was solid. “What I watched over the course of the last few days…was exactly what I had hoped to see,” Landsman said, “Folks working together.” Under terms of the deal with Williams, the Greater Cincinnati Redevelopment Authority will help Williams secure a food truck and spot to park it in the West End and work until a permanent space can be found. To do that the city is setting aside $75,000 and FC Cincinnati $150,000 to help with that on top of another $20,000 FC Cincinnati already gave Williams. With just hours to go before its pivotal vote, The Cincinnati Ballet announced they had separately reached a

deal with FC Cincinnati. This too was important in garnering some council member votes for the zoning change. FC Cincinnati signed an agreement of cooperation and support with the Cincinnati Ballet. The ballet, which sits on land owned by the team and whose parking lot is slated for part of the development, wanted assurances about parking, noise and assess to its building. P.G. Sittenfeld, who help facilitate the plan, called it a “good neighbor” agreement. It calls for a noise study and $500,000 in noise mitigation funds from the team, and it addresses some concerns about parking and street closures. It also calls for the team to pay another $500,000 to help relocate the ballet when the time comes, but the details of where and when that relocation will happen are not spelled out. “This is the next step to being a good neighbor,” Sittenfeld said, “not the end of it.” The stadium is already behind schedule, costing it a half million dollars and construction oﬃ cials fretted any further delays could push back the planned 2021 opening.

Q: &

Q: Dr. Godbey: Sometimes I think I hear sounds and I can’t tell if it’s real or my imagination. Is that normal? A: If you have hearing loss and it is untreated, you may experience fear of not hearing well. Research shows that adults who wait several years before seeking help for their hearing loss may suffer from anxiety and low self-esteem. Hearing aid users are more likely to be optimistic and feel engaged in life. They feel safe and more confident because they can hear noises in the distance as well as other environmental sounds. The sounds you are describing may be tinnitus, which can be a symptom of hearing loss. Tinnitus can occur at any age and may begin suddenly or come on gradually. Hearing aids can be effective in treating tinnitus. Join us for our Free Hearing Screening on March 18th, 19th, 20th & 21st, 2019. Call 513-725-3559 for an appointment.

Man who killed niece said he ‘lost his temper’ Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The 20-year-old uncle of two young girls who told police he “lost his temper and had struck” them, leading to the death of one, was sentenced Friday, Feb. 1 to 25 years in prison. In Hamilton County Common Pleas Court, Recardo Woods pleaded guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter, child endangering and felonious assault. Judge Patrick Dinkelacker imposed a sentence that had been agreed upon by both sides. The girls, 15-month-old Kassidy Smith and her 4-month-old sister, were taken to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center on April 7, 2018. Kassidy, who prosecutors said had extensive injuries to her body as well as blunt-force head trauma, was taken oﬀ life support two days later. Her 4-month-old sister had head injuries and a broken rib. The girls’ father, Brandon Smith, who is Woods’ brother, spoke brieﬂ y in court.

Smith said he had been close to his brother until the incident happened. “I just want him to know that I’m just…” then he paused. “Speechless right now.” “Everything is messed up and can’t be ﬁ xed. Period,” Smith added before stepping away from the podium. “All it took was a phone call,” said the girls’ mother, Danielle Stallworth. “I will never forgive for what you have caused. I will never forgive you for the pain you’ve inﬂ icted.” Smith and Stallworth had left the girls with Woods that day so they could go out, said Assistant Prosecutor David Prem. “Ultimately, through the great police work of the detectives, he admitted he had lost his temper and had struck the children, causing their injuries,” Prem said. Woods, who lived in Westwood, had no criminal record before this incident. He told Dinkelacker he attended college. Dinkelacker said he would say a prayer that the surviving sister is doing well and that Kassidy “rest in peace.”

1971 on Crookshank Road in Green Township. After Roell’s death, however, Anderson said a majority of heirs favored closing the business while they seek a buyer. Anderson estimated hundreds of customers visit the rink in a given week. Several birthday parties were scheduled but had to be canceled. Full refunds were provided, Anderson said. She said she’s hopeful a prospective buyer will make an oﬀ er on the business to preserve it. In 2016, Cincinnati Magazine deemed Western Rollarama the best

rink in the city. “If the community is interested in this rink, hopefully they can ﬁ nd us a new owner,” Anderson said. “That would be the best thing.” Hundreds commented on social media about the closure, with many writing about memories made at the rink and others oﬀ ering ideas to help. Anderson said Roell “would have wanted this to stay open forever, but the problem is ... it’s kind of up to the people who own it after you’re gone.” Interested buyers can call 513-9224004.

3 charged in ‘Duke’s Place’ fentanyl conspiracy Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Three men were indicted this month in connection with a West End drug operation, law enforcement says, cut, repackaged and stored fentanyl. Derek Ragan, 49, Anthony Sanderson, 63, and Lawrence Bell, 66, were charged by a federal grand jury Feb. 6.

the Cincinnati area where they were cut, packaged and stored prior to distribution. “The co-conspirators allegedly used ‘Duke’s Place’ on Oliver Street in West End to distribute the illegal opioids,” prosecutors said. In November, agents seized more than $10,000 in cash, a ﬁ rearm and drugs during searches of two residences. In August, an anonymous 911 caller reported the gun used in a shooting was hidden inside Duke’s Place at that Oliver Street location.

That shooting happened less than a block from Duke’s Place and left three people wounded and bleeding in the street. No arrests have ever been made in that shooting. It is not clear if that shooting is related to the current drug investigation. The United States Attorney’s Oﬃ ce, the FBI and the Cincinnati Police Department all participated in the investigation. If convicted, each of the men could face at least 10 years in prison, prosecutors said.

Warm up with creamy risotto, brown bread Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

I was sorting through a basket of gourds when I spied a butternut squash in the bottom.

How it got there is a mystery. It was a bit soft in places so I needed to use it quick. Butternut is a good swap for pumpkin, so I made the switch in the risotto recipe I’m sharing. Rosie Kennedy’s brown bread recipe is here, too. Maybe you’ve been one of

the readers looking for brown bread similar to what Busken’s used to sell. If so, you hit the jackpot. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com. Email her at rita@com munitypress.com with “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Easy risotto with butternut squash

Boston brown bread Rosie Kennedy, a Northern Kentucky reader, adapted this from her mom, Kathryn Dwyer’s recipe. Rosie told me: “I don't know how this recipe compares to Busken's, but I know it's good. Once I used two regular-sized loaf pans and increased baking time. Turned out a little dry, so I recommend using miniloaf pans.” Rosie bakes in 2 batches, so loaves aren't crowded. Rosie’s mom used 14 oz. cans - the good old days… Ingredients

Ingredients

1 box raisins, 15 or 16 oz. (Rosie has used up to 20 oz.)

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

3 cups water

3 cups diced butternut squash

1 stick unsalted butter

3 tablespoons butter, plus 2 tablespoons

2 cups sugar

1 cup diced onion

2 teaspoons salt

11⁄ 2 cups Arborio rice

5 cups flour

⁄ 2 cup white wine

4 teaspoons baking soda

⁄ 2cup Parmesan cheese plus extra

2 teaspoons vanilla

Salt and pepper

2 eggs

Instructions

1 cup chopped nuts (Rosie likes pecans or walnuts)

Bring broth to a gentle boil, then lower to a simmer. Add squash, cover, and cook until tender. Remove with slotted spoon. Set aside.

Instructions Preheat oven to 350.

This easy risotto incorporates butternut squash.

Boil raisins in water 5 minutes.

RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Cover broth to keep at a simmer. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a pan. Add onion and cook until tender but not brown. Add rice and stir to coat. Add wine and simmer until wine almost evaporates. This won’t take long.

rice, adding broth 1⁄ 2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition to absorb before adding the next, until rice is tender but still ﬁ rm to the bite and mixture still creamy, about 20 minutes. Turn off heat.

Add 1⁄ 2 cup of simmering broth and stir until almost completely absorbed, about 2 minutes. Continue cooking

Stir in squash, Parmesan, remaining butter, salt and pepper. (I stirred in a few greens, too). Sprinkle on more

Parmesan. No wine? Add another ⁄ 2cup broth.

Add remaining ingredients and mix well.

Tip: What is Arborio rice?

Spray 8 mini-loaf pans.

Shorter and fatter than long grain rice, Arborio retains more starch content. Adding warm liquid a little at a time makes for a creamy risotto.

Pour mixture into pans, ﬁ lling about 2⁄ 3 full.

Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, then lower to 300 and bake 45 minutes.

‘Unknown, leave it alone’ is best advice When was the last time you received a phone call from someone you actually wanted to hear from? Or, the phone number on the Caller ID was from a person or place that you recognized? Experts are saying cell phone owners are drowning in a sea of robo-calls: U.S. phones were inundated with 26.3 billion robo-calls last year, that’s a 46 percent increase from the 18 billion spam calls placed in 2017. The technology used for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to make such calls has become easy (and cheap, just $0.01 per call) to access and is a quick way to make billions of automated calls all at once. The availability of the technology along with the lucrative opportunity of making money allowed scammers to ring up $430 per successful phone call last year, according to the FTC. However, with the ability to hide the origination of the call, the freedom to assign a phone number to whatever the scammer feels like, including your own phone number, it makes it more of a challenge for law enforcement to go after the group behind every single robocall. These junk calls are driving people to avoid the phone altogether resulting in 52 percent of cell phone calls going unanswered, the preferred method of avoiding being spoofed, spammed or scammed. And, if it seemed like the number of calls was more frequent during the recent shutdown, you’re probably right. Agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission which oversees the Do Not Call Registry were part of the shutdown. In fact, the site was inactive making it impossible for consumers to register their number. Fortunately, those requests should have been added to the list by now, but beware, that won’t be a deterrent for scammers. Rounds of bogus IRS imposter calls and government grant off ers are coming into BBB’s Scamtracker tool. Until the FTC, cell phone providers and FCC come up with a way to outsmart the methodology and infl ux of robocalls, the best advice remains the same, if a phone number shows up in the Caller ID that is not familiar to you, don’t answer. Instead, let it go to voicemail. Consider using the blocking features available from the phone provider and research call blocking apps that are available for download. There may be a small fee associated with these apps but it may be worth the peace of mind. Remember, report any suspicious activities to scamtracker.org or to ftc.gov.

Tips on dealing with healthcare expenses during retirement Name Here and Name Here Columnists USA TODAY NETWORK – REGION

This Spring, Simply Money Advisors is becoming Allworth Financial. As we expand our services to better meet your retirement planning needs, we needed a name that encompasses all that we are. Don’t worry. We’ll still deliver our same no-nonsense money advice in the Simply Money column, presented by Allworth Financial. Clyde from Warren County: My wife and I are both 63 and are going to retire in 14 months. Our biggest worry is healthcare. I used to think that Medicare paid everything. Can you please give us some suggestions for cutting costs? Answer: Healthcare is deﬁ nitely among the biggest costs of retirement. And you’re not alone in thinking Medicare will cover everything. But Medicare doesn’t cover most modern drug therapies, various medical devices, certain personalized care, a majority of laser surgeries, most dental (unless hospitalization is required), and any long-term care. So, how much are we talking? On average, couples retiring today can expect to spend about $280,000 over the course of their retirements on healthcare. And the more you earn (and the longer you live) the more you’re likely to pay in Medicare premiums. With all that said, there are four ways to help minimize some of your retirement healthcare costs. First, realize that if you have to pay a private

physician out of pocket for a type of therapy or care (which is likely), you can negotiate the price. Second, hire a “care manager.” While having a personalized consultant who is familiar with your medical history might seem extravagant (and expensive), having a bedside advocate to approve treatments, advocate for you, and keep costs in check may not only save you serious money, it could save your life. Third, consider long-term care insurance. Find quotes for a policy that will cover three to fi ve years and see if it’s affordable. And fourth, exercise and be social! No one plays a more important role in keeping healthcare costs down than you. The Simply Money Point is that yes, healthcare expenses will be a large chunk of your retirement budget. But the more planning you can do now – before you retire – the better off you’ll be. Tina from Mt. Lookout: My daughter is living on her own for the fi rst time and is learning how to budget. Are there any particular apps you recommend? Answer: What an exciting time for your daughter! Be sure you share our Simply Money Rule of 50/30/20 with her: 50 percent of her money should go to “needs” (rent, utilities, car payment, groceries, etc.); 30 percent should go to “wants” (going out with friends, the latest and greatest smartphone, vacation, etc.); and 20 percent should be saved (emergency fund, retirement, or a short-term goal). This rule is an easy way for her to get her spending and saving priorities straight from the get-go. And while the wants percentage is negotiable (it can be less if her bills are higher), the percentage she is saving (20 percent)

should not be negotiable. Now, as for apps themselves, there are a few she might want to try out. The most popular option a lot of people have heard of is Mint. It will create a real time picture of what she spends her money on by automatically updating and categorizing purchases. Mint will also issue alerts when she’s spending too much money or going over budget. Some other good options include YNAB (You Need A Budget), PocketGuard and GoodBudget’ She could also give the app Acorns a try, though this isn’t a technically a budgeting app. Instead, this app will track her purchases then automatically round up to invest the diff erence. The Simply Money Point is that you daughter needs to fi nd the right budgeting method that works best for her. If that’s an app, great. If it’s an Excel spreadsheet or even just pencil and paper, great. Because, at the end of the day, what really matters is that she sticks with it. Responses are for informational purposes only and individuals should consider whether any general recommendation in these responses are suitable for their particular circumstances based on investment objectives, fi nancial situation and needs. To the extent that a reader has any questions regarding the applicability of any specifi c issue discussed above to his/her individual situation, he/she is encouraged to consult with the professional advisor of his/her choosing, including a tax advisor and/or attorney.

Physical activity is key to aging well Maple Knoll Village

Aging happens to everyone. But while everyone might age, choosing to live an active lifestyle can help making aging well more possible. The World Health Organization defi nes healthy or active aging as “developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables wellbeing in older age.” And while some people may have health conditions that limit them somewhat, everyone can pursue an active lifestyle within their abilities. Active aging describes individuals and populations who live life as fully as possible within the seven dimensions of wellness: emotional, vocational, physical, spiritual, intellectual, social and environmental. The foundation for an active life is physical activity, but the other aspects of living a full and fulfi lling life also play a role in staying happy and healthy as you age. Incorporating physical activity into a daily or weekly routine can have immense positive results, even in a short time. It is a major component of active aging, and can benefi t individuals by: ❚ Preventing or controlling the most common chronic diseases, like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. ❚ Enabling people to function independently so they enjoy and grow in their lives. ❚ Allowing people to stay part of the active lives of their children, grand-

children and communities. For those who want to start pursuing an active lifestyle as they age, some simple activities can help start you on the right path: 1 Walking or hiking- Getting out for a walk is a fantastic ﬁ rst step to living a more active lifestyle. And the best part is that you can do it just about anywhere and keep great company at the same time. 2 Stretching- Moving your muscles and joints by stretching is a great way to get active in a low impact way. This is a very easy way to ease into exercise, and it is something most people can do on their own, too. Stretching can happen whether you’re standing, sitting or lying down, too. When you feel like you are ready for more, joining a yoga class

is a great way to stay moving, build strength and fl exibility and get mentally centered at the same time. 3 Swimming or water aerobics – Swimming and water aerobics are a tried and true method of being active while protecting your joints from impact. Strength and stamina are quick to build up with water exercises, and these activities can be enjoyed by yourself or with friends and an instructor. 4 Goal setting- Setting goals isn’t physical exercise, but it can be a great workout all the same. Creating challenges for yourself and attaining them is a huge boost for self-confi dence and will help give you direction for your activities. Maple Knoll Village, a care retirement community, is proud to off er a Wellness Center that caters to the needs of its residents and has a goal of improving the quality of life of older adults to increase independence. Exercise physiologists, fi tness specialists, physical and occupational therapists, aquatic instructors, massage therapist and yoga instructors are all available. There are multiple programs and over 30 weekly classes off ered, specifi cally tailored to the needs of older adults, as well as a fi tness room and warm water pool. For every fi tness level and interest, the Hemsworth Wellness Center off ers a program. To fi nd out more, visit the Maple Knoll website or call (513)782-2717.

Sports GLORY DAYS: NBA star thought Aiken’s Austin was like Mike

Melanie Laughman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

By February 1989, 11 years had passed since Withrow’s La Salle Thompson had played organized basketball against Aiken’s Bobby Austin, and Thompson was wondering why the two Public High School League stars weren’t still squaring off . “I tell people all the time that Bobby Austin is one of the greatest players I’ve ever seen,” Thompson, recently traded from the Sacramento Kings to the Indiana Pacers, told the Enquirer at the time. “You know how you think players are so good in high school, then you go back in a couple of years and think they weren’t really that good. After I played three years in the NBA, I went back and played in pickup games with Bobby, and he was still that good. The only player I can compare him with is Michael Jordan. He’s that kind of player. He’s so quick and can jump so high.” To say Austin was the late 1970s high school version of Jordan is not hyperbole. Playing as a junior for coach Sam Ionna at the College Hill school, the 6foot-2, 190-pound swingman fi nished fourth in the city in scoring with an average of 21.7 points per game and was an Enquirer third-team all-star. He was just warming up. As a Falcons senior, Austin led the city with an average of 27.5 points per game and was named Player of the Year by both the Post and the Enquirer. He also earned a slot on the Associated Press Class AAA (big-school) all-state fi rst team. Along the way, Austin poured in 44 points in a game against Taft and 39 against Withrow. According to Enquirer reporter Al Drooz, Austin “led the city in drawing ooh’s and aah’s from the crowd, whether launching a feathery 25-footer or driving home a slam dunk.” Ionna said early in Austin’s senior season, “This kid is phenomenal. There’s just nothing he can’t do on the basketball fl oor. Off ensively, we know

he’s always gonna do something. He was the type of guy to build a program around. We were lucky he came along. He may be a once-in-a-lifetime player for a coach.” Austin made Ionna conﬁ dent enough to pick his own team to win the PHSL when every other coach picked Thompson’s Withrow team. “We’ve spent two years building a solid foundation,” Ionna said in the Enquirer’s season preview. “This year, we will start to build a tradition.” See AUSTIN, Page 2B

Should OHSAA institute a basketball shot clock? Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Last March, the Dayton Dunbar boys basketball team outlasted Fenwick in a Division II district semifi nal at UD Arena in what can only be described as a stalemate. Dunbar lodged a stall off ense to combat Fenwick’s zone defense and thwarted any fast-paced play for the majority of the fi nal two quarters. With the Wolverines sitting on the ball for nearly nine minutes, the two teams combined for just 17 second-half points and Dunbar survived, 27-26, to advance to the district fi nal. With sectional tournaments ap-

proaching, it’s a good time to re-explore the shot clock debate in Ohio high school hoops. Although there is no serious proposal to add a shot clock, it is still a hot topic among numerous Cincinnati-area head coaches who are advocates for its addition to the game. Proponents share common reasoning for introducing the shot clock in Ohio. ❚ Preparing for college basketball Proponents say a shot clock would prepare basketball players who will play in college, where a 30-second shot clock is used. “We are all about preparing our kids for the next level, both academically and athletically. It only makes sense that we move in the direction that supports

that,” Hughes head coach Bryan Wyant said. Princeton head coach Steve Wright added: “I think it prepares them for the next level. I think kids don’t develop because it’s always pass, pass, pass and some guys can’t make basketball plays because they’re so functioned on making so many passes before they shoot the basketball.” A counterargument to the college preparation point is the actual number of prep athletes who play at the next level. There’s a 5.6 percent chance of playing in college for Ohio boys and a 6.2 percent chance for girls, according to ScholarshipStats.com. ❚ More strategy and excitement

Not surprisingly, most fans would rather see points than a low-scoring war of attrition. “What is the reason for playing the game? It’s to have more action in the game and that’s why people are drawn more towards football and basketball because the points that are put on the board,” La Salle head coach Pat Goedde said. Wyant added: “The high school game is losing interest from our fan base. I’ve seen a decline from the casual fan. Is this because of the number of games that result in long possessions and stalling that result in lower scores?” See CLOCK , Page 2B

Fenwick head coach Pat Kreke concurs, saying that fans favor points over prolonged possessions. “It does keep the game going a little bit. We went through that last year with Dunbar. I don’t think people want to pay seven or eight bucks for a ticket and watch a kid hold the ball for eight minutes,” Kreke said. ❚ Limits stalling Dunbar-Fenwick scenarios are a rarity, but without a shot clock there are still clubs that try to decelerate a high-powered off ense through subtle paint-drying periods. Last season, Wright’s club watched Lakota East, albeit not motionless, take 60-90 seconds off the clock with extended possessions. This limited Princeton’s off ense to just 34 attempted shots, well below its per-game average of 50. “He (Lakota East coach Clint Adkins) is a great coach and had a great game plan and my guys were bored,” Wright said. “They’re doing the best thing for them to win. The philosophy is good, but to me it’s not basketball. They’re not holding it for that long, but they are holding it.” Harrison head coach Andy Marx added: “The shot clock would prevent teams from going into shutdown mode and would take out a lot of fouling and dragging out of games.” Going into this season, eight states Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island, Washington, New York, California, North Dakota and South Dakota – operate on a shot clock. Texas started to

experiment with it in December. The likelihood of Ohio joining those states is low, mainly because the change is not as cut and dry as one would think. In a 2018 issue of “The Rebounders Report” by the Ohio High School Athletic Association, executive director Jerry Snodgrass outlined reasons why Ohio remains in the nationwide majority on the shot clock debate. ❚ Playing by NFHS rules The OHSAA adheres to playing rules adopted by the National Federation of State High School Associations. The purpose is to provide nationwide consisten-

cy in how each game is played for each sport the NFHS writes rules for. “Our schools want to play by NFHS rules. We are member-school driven and schools have the opportunity to change any and all of our rules in a fair process,” Snodgrass writes. “Members of the OHSAA are also voluntary members, so their agreement to be a member is also an agreement to play by the very rules they adopt.” The nine states with high school shot clocks “do not have bylaws or board requirements requiring them to play by NFHS rules,” and they do not have input

The Aiken coach proved to be optimistic as the Tigers fi nished 15-1 overall and 11-0 in the league. Aiken went 10-7 overall and tied Taft for second, each with 7-4 records. The Falcons fi nished 10-8 overall after losing to third-seeded Elder, 57-53, in a sectional tournament game at Cincinnati Gardens that Panthers coach Paul “Hans” Frey described as the “most physical game ever.” Elder fi nished with 19 fi eld goals and 19 free throws, while Aiken sank 25 fi eld goals but only three free throws. Austin piled up 30 points and 10 rebounds before fouling out with 4:45 left in the game, but his career wasn’t over. Recruited by college blue bloods such as Notre Dame, Louisville, Michigan, Marquette, Syracuse and Southern California, he decided to stay home and play for the University of Cincinnati Bear-

and representation to the National Rules Committee, a main reason why Ohio wants to stick with NFHS regulations. ❚ Other hurdles The report lists costs and operators as two potential setbacks to the introduction of a shot clock. It would have to be installed in all varsity and junior high gyms because “it would be a fundamental and signifi cant change to the game and would be necessary at all levels.” Schools would have to pay operators, who also would require training. At many non-varsity games, there are volunteer clock operators, which presents a “signifi cant opportunity for error.” The NFHS off ers state adoptions, but only for rules that do not change the game, which a shot clock would. Sound bites Moeller head coach Carl Kremer: “I’m for it. My staff is for it. We feel it would make the game better. But I understand the trepidation that a lot of schools have. You gotta have someone at your table that knows what they’re doing. A lot of people are afraid of the administrative side of it. I believe it would be good for our game but understand why people are afraid to move to it.” Marx: “Logistically it would be hard to do. I would be in favor of two offi cials and having a third run the shot clock. Until the NFHS changes its policy the state of Ohio will not address it.” Goedde: “Have a JV offi cial stay and run the clock. How hard would that be? When they start saying money, they’re doing three offi cials on almost every JV game anyway. I think it would cure a lot of evils with not having enough offi cials. It’s hard to referee a game that’s 39-37. I love the shot clock. I hope they put it in tomorrow.”

COMMUNITY NEWS Westside couple wins award for their garden Western Hills Garden Club member Sis Winterhalter and her husband, Jack, recently won a Special Commendation Award titled Chairman’s Award presented by the Cincinnati Horticultural Society. This award highlights gardens representing all the qualities of good design principles: balance, ﬂ ow, color, and a strong relationship to the home. The plant material must be healthy, wellmaintained, and appropriate for the site conditions. Meticulous maintenance of the site is a huge factor. The gardens at the Winterhalter home in Western Hills are beautiful well-manicured gardens that would be the envy of any gardener. The front yard is very welcoming with its combination of attractive annuals, perennials, and shrubs. The backyard gardens are a combination of sun and shade spaces that contain plants that provide not only beautiful ﬂ owers but also areas of interesting contrasting foliage, color, and texture. Throughout the gardens, sculptures and antique items add an air of whimsy to the surroundings. Gardens such as these can only be achieved through thoughtful planning and execution, as well as continual maintenance. The Winterhalters should be very proud of their beautiful gardens that provide visitors with a sense of peace, joy, and appreciation for gardening at its best. Sue Ann Vogt

face, spring in her step and a heartfelt desire to share her story. On Nov. 1, 2004, at the age of 49, Zettie suﬀ ered a stroke while working at Cincinnati State. A blood clot on the left

side of her brain had decreased the blood supply to the cells responsible for speech and movement, causing those cells to die. Zettie, like many stroke patients, immediately began speech and physical therapy to regain as much as possible. In addition to her mobility issues, she was challenged with aphasia, a language impairment that makes communication diﬃ cult. The words were there but retrieving them to make sentences took considerable eﬀ ort. Faced with this diagnosis, a battery of therapy sessions and an unknown future would be overwhelming to most. But Zettie was determined to capitalize on her potential and change her future. At the time of her stroke, the UC Neuroscience Institute was organizing a seven year research study for stroke patients with aphasia. Zettie was asked to join the study and without hesitation, she agreed. This enabled her to experi-

ence the beneﬁ ts of therapy beyond the usual time allotted through insurance. Her recovery has been nothing short of miraculous and she attributes her success to faith, family and friends. Zettie shared, “I feel really blessed to be here today because I overcame some great obstacles. I thought life would be hard until I told myself not to give up. I told myself you will walk again, you will drive again! My greatest achievement would be the fact that having a stroke didn’t defeat me. I knocked it out with one shot!” In 2011, Zettie earned her high school diploma, an accomplishment she is rightfully proud of. She attended Senior Link Senior Center to keep herself active and motivated. When the program closed in September of 2014, she and other members joined Bayley Adult Day, where she continues to inspire others both physically and spiritually. See COMMUNITY, Page 4B

This past summer, while getting some additional therapy, Zettie was given the opportunity to participate in yet another research study, this time working with EKSO bionics at Drake Center. The new equipment is designed to improve one’s gait and speed when walking. At the end of the six week research, Zettie was chosen to demonstrate her newfound skills during a separate training session for therapists. With the completion of the study, Zettie set her sights on yet another goal – to return to driving. Following the study guide and some additional practice, she recently passed her driving test and is now able to drive with no restrictions. Zettie makes a positive impact wherever she goes, making friends easily and sharing her infectious smile along the way.

TriHealth Donated $11,881.40 toward the purchase of a Lucas CPR device. The advantage to the citizens “Constant-Quality CPR” the Lucas device provides a constant rate and depth of compression and is one way of improving the quality of chest compressions. It has been used twice on CPR runs with positive outcomes since receiving the device a few weeks ago. TriHealth has partnered with Cheviot in the purchase of two Police dogs ( Kuno and Charlie), the Bicentennial Splash Park, and now the Fire Department purchasing lifesaving equipment. The Cheviot Westwood Community Association (CWCA) during the Brews on the Block Street Festival approached Jeanette Altenau from TriHealth about making a donation to the Fire Department last summer. We are a small “Full Service City” with very limited resources, this is an example of the importance of Community Oriented Organizations, Business, and Local Government working hand in hand to improve the care and safety of our citizens, and civil servants.

SCHOOL NEWS Mercy Montessori’s Farmessori program continues to grow Mercy Montessori’s student-driven Erdkinder/Microeconomy program continues to grow. This program is born out of Maria Montessori’s Erdkinder concept (a German word for “land children”). The Farmessori curriculum gives the students a wide range of experiences from gardening to business to customer service. This spring, the junior high class is excited to welcome chickens to the Farmessori. The chicken team researched coops and chicken breeds, looking for the friendliest types of fowls. In January the team’s coop arrived - they dug the foundation and installed the coop. Eggs will arrive in the spring and after the chicks hatch the students will care for them during the school year and into the summer. The team estimates fi rst batch of eggs will be laid when school is back in session next fall. The eggs will be used in Farmessori products and will also be sold in the school’s farm stand that is expected to launch in the new school year. In addition to the chicken team, the school’s bee team is also anticipating another honey harvest in the spring. The team had its fi rst successful harvest this fall, bottling over 16 lbs of honey. The spring harvest is expected to yield over 40 lbs. The fi rst run sold out almost immediately and the Mercy community is excited for the next batch. Mercy’s Groovy Smoothie and Mercy’s Natural Tea continue to show strong sales and have been off ering new seasonal fl avors. The Smoothie and Tea businesses have been profi table in their fi rst year of business and the groups will continue to make charitable contributions from these profi ts to local organizations.

The environment of intelligent young women motivated me to step outside my comfort zone, take challenging courses, and reach my full potential.” “We are so proud of these students for this accomplishment,” said Saint Ursula Academy Principal Dr. Mari Thomas. “These are great people as well as great scholars. We are thrilled to be their partners as they develop academically, socially and spiritually, and we will continue to work with them unlock their potential and help them meet their academic goals.” Saint Ursula Academy teachers and students work together in a dynamic learning environment to participate in an educational process that promotes critical thinking, problem solving techniques, and higher level thinking. All are necessary elements for success on the PSAT test, which determines those chosen for the National Merit Program in all of the categories. Misha Bell
