Displaced tenants to FC Cincinnati: Move us, ‘compensate’ us Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A group of tenants who have to move out of buildings owned by FC Cincinnati as the team builds a West End stadium is making new demands of the team. Among them: Build new housing for them and pay “proper compensation.” They off ered no specifi c amount of money or exactly where the team should build aff ordable housing. The letter, from Wade Street & Central Avenue Tenants United, was sent by Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition Executive Director Josh Spring, to the public Monday, May 20. “We should continue to live in 421 Wade and 1559 Central until this replacement housing is completed and each of us has suitable housing and FCC should pay all moving costs and proper compensation to tenants,” the letter said. The deadline to vacate the properties is May 31. Team lawyers have publicly said nobody will be kicked out on that date, though people need to fi nd new housing. The fi ght comes in part because when FC Cincinnati President Jeff Berding lobbied Cincinnati City Council for taxpayer help and approval to build the stadium in the West End, he promised no residents would be displaced. It’s a catchy soundbite that resonated, but at the time Berding was answering questions from City West residents who feared they might have to move. The project does not displace residents of City West, which is west of the site. FC Cincinnati, as part of a community benefi ts agreement for the stadium, donated $100,000 for an emergency housing fund, paid $150,000 for a hous-

ing study of the neighborhood and work related to it. Berding has said the team is helping the residents ﬁ nd new housing. Meetings the new demands, Berding said May 20 is not possible. “I was told via the building manager that tenants were waiting for a larger payout, an amount that was $40,000,”

Berding said. He accused Spring of organizing the tenants, who have short-term leases, and encouraging them to demand compensation before agreeing to move out, despite leases that will expire. The tenants, in the letter, said they are speaking for themselves.

“Legal counsel representing the tenants has also consistently asked for ‘appropriate compensation’ in numerous emails to the general counsel of FC Cincinnati dating back to April 30,” Berding said. “We respect the residents do not See TENANTS, Page 2A

Green Township lost a Fridays but gains an Olive Garden Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Anyone who grew up in Green Township the past 25 years probably spent a fair amount of time in the TGI Fridays on Glenway Ave. When it opened across from Western Bowl in 1994, the chain restaurant known for mixed grilles was a pretty big deal, providing a central meeting spot for a generation of Westsiders. People who live in the area, an area some call Western Hills, have since found other places to meet. The building

has sat vacant for almost two years since Fridays closed in December 2017. Until now. Olive Garden will seek to return the building in front of the mostly vacant Western Woods Mall back to a destination. The Green Township Board of Trustees announced the Italian restaurant chain known for unlimited bread sticks and salad will open sometime next year. Real estate agent, broker and commercial property owner Bob Wurster has signed a lease with Darden Restaurants for a new Olive Garden on the for-

Weather permitting construction should begin in 2019 with a likely opening in the spring of 2020. “Olive Garden is the most-asked-for restaurant ever,” Board of Trustees Chairman Tony Rosiello said. “It’s good news for other restaurants and gives them a chance to put their best foot forward.” This story was updated with a new time for the Olive Garden to open.

tenants in buildings that have been sold, they can accept our oﬀ ers of help, but legally they cannot choose to stay. Josh should publicly clarify what amount of money is appropriate compensation.” Spring said $40,000 is not correct and that the group has not named a speciﬁ c amount of compensation. Roughly 14 tenants of 421 Wade St, and 1559 Central have known they have to move since February. They pleaded their case, garnering the attention of Cincinnati City Council, which has the power to deny the team a zoning change for the stadium’s entrance. The zoning approval is set to come to council next week. Council on April 23 passed a motion asking the team to keep the Central Avenue property, since it’s not needed for the stadium at the moment, and allow all the displaced tenants to live there. Since it’s a motion, it’s not binding but is a signal council wants the team to help the residents.

The team has declined to do that, saying it is not in the aff ordable housing business. Twelve tenants remain. Among them Mary Page, a 99-year-old bedridden woman who has lived in the West End for decades. The team and the property manager have diligently communicated with tenants on the need to relocate and have made off ers of support to assist in relocation, team spokeswoman Anne Sesler said Monday before the letter had been sent out. The letter said Berding and FC Cincinnati offi cials “must not understand the gravity of this situation.” “They are threatening our homes, our stability and our physical and mental health,” the letter said. “We live where we live because we like our neighborhood, we like our streets, we have relationships with our neighbors, our kids go to school and play nearby, we have close family and friends nearby, we can fi nancially aff ord our current homes, our jobs are close by, we have access to transportation and our medical care can easily reach us.”

Q: Dr. Godbey, I’m a 60 year old man and my doctor has never recommended a hearing test. Should I have one? A: YES! According to the National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders, men are twice as likely to sustain hearing loss compared to women. Because loud noise exposure is a leading cause of hearing loss, the occupational and lifestyle differences between men and women make men more susceptible to noise-induced-hearing loss. Men may have jobs with loud equipment and tend to participate in activities including hunting, shooting, off-roading, or lawn care. Research shows that men are often reluctant to address hearing loss. What many don’t realize is that hearing loss affects every aspect of a man’s life—from relationships and intimacy to job performance and earnings. It’s important that we call attention to men’s hearing health. Call 513-725-3559 to schedule an appointment for a FREE Hearing Screening on June 17th, 18th, 19th & 20th, 2019.

City backs oﬀ on demand to close strip mall Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Less than two weeks after fi ling court documents to shut down a Roselawn strip mall that’s home to a preschool, a bank and a LaRosa’s restaurant, the city says it only wants to close a nightclub it alleges operates illegally and attracts crime. At a contentious hearing in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court, a city attorney backed off on a demand made earlier this month in a civil complaint to shut down the entire Valley Shopping Center for a year. The shopping center at 7617 Reading Road has 28 tenants, including the nightclub, its owner said. “The city does not seek to shut down any legitimate business at the Valley Shopping Center,” Assistant City Attorney Virginia Tallent fi nally said near the conclusion of the hearing. The city appears to be trying to pressure the shopping center’s owner, Rose Valley Land Group, to evict the Lion’s Den. The nightclub does not have liquor or dance hall licenses, court documents say, and operates until 4:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. That would violate a liquor license, if it had one. A “substantial portion” of the prostitution, fi ghts and drug crimes police responded to were connected to the Lion’s Den, city attorneys said. An attorney for Rose Valley Land Group, Donald Lerner, said there is no basis to evict the club. The tenant, he said, has a longstanding lease and has been in compliance with it. The city, Lerner told Judge Melba Marsh, is "requiring us to do something unlawful." The nightclub’s owner, Yolanda Slaughter, has been cited by police and faces misdemeanor charges, including selling alcohol without a license. Those

charges are pending in Municipal Court. If there's a conviction, Lerner said that would be a basis to evict her. Slaughter's attorney, James Grey Wolf, said allegations of liquor sales inside the nightclub have not been proven. During the hearing, he said many of the club’s patrons are Rastafarians, who “as part of their religion” enjoy

dance and music. In an interview, Tedd Byer, owner of Rose Valley Land Group, said Slaughter is a "ﬁ ne, upstanding woman." Byer said she works as a nurse at a Veterans Administration hospital and counsels people who abuse drugs and alcohol. During the hearing, it was revealed the city had contacted Rose Valley's

lender and told the bank not to do business with Rose Valley – a tactic apparently to force it to evict the Lion's Den. "That was beyond the pale," Lerner said. Marsh ordered the Lion's Den, while the civil case is pending, to not sell or keep alcohol, or charge admission to enter. It must be closed and unoccupied between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Rhubarb oﬀ ers a tart taste of spring Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Right now, I’m waiting for a rhubarb custard pie to ﬁ nish baking. As I was assembling the pie with the help of granddaughter, Ellery, age 4 (yes, it’s that easy), I was wondering how many of you eat and/or grow rhubarb. Maybe you know rhubarb as the “pie plant.” Technically, rhubarb is a vegetable, not a fruit. Strawberry rhu-

Rosy red rhubarb sauce OK so if you don’t want to make the pie, be adventurous enough to cook up this easy rhubarb sauce. Lovely over ice cream, plain cake, stirred into plain yogurt or oatmeal. No real recipe, but here’s how I do it: Ingredients Rhubarb, chopped up Sugar Instructions

barb pie is a rite of spring. If I would have had any strawberries left after making strawberry shrub (a recipe I’m sharing soon), I would have tossed some in with the pie. Honestly, though, I think it’s perfect as is – a bit of tartness to go along with the sweet. We used to have a thriving rhubarb plant. My husband, Frank, sealed its fate when he drove over it with the tractor. Twice. So the rhubarb for the pie came from neighbor Bob, who gifted me with enough for a pie and more. As for my new rhubarb plant, I put a large stake in front of it. Here’s hoping…

Measure rhubarb. For every 2 cups, use about 1⁄ 2cup sugar. Place rhubarb and sugar with a bit of water (not too much, just enough to keep it from sticking) in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook until it starts to thicken nicely, about 20 minutes or so. It gets thicker as it cools. Store in refrigerator up to a month or freeze up to 6 months. Good add ins: Minced ginger root or crystallized ginger, or a splash of vanilla (add vanilla after cooking)

Rhubarb custard pie Pat Jarvis is a student of mine and shared her rhubarb pie recipe with me a while back. Here’s my adapted version. “My very favorite pie”, Pat told me. Ingredients

Bake at 400 for 15 minutes, reduce temperature to 350 and bake 30-35 minutes more. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, or warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Tip: Bake pies on bottom shelf

3 large eggs 11⁄ 3 cups sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon nutmeg or 1⁄ 2 teaspoon mace 4 cups fresh rhubarb, diced small, or frozen, thawed Instructions Preheat oven to 400. Whisk together everything but the rhubarb. Stir in rhubarb and pour into prepared pie shell.

Closer to the heat source means a crisper bottom crust. Freeze it! No need to peel rhubarb. Just cut up the stalks, lay in a single layer on a cookie sheet, freeze hard, uncovered, then transfer to containers. Done! Rhubarb is good for you This tart “fruit” contains calcium and vitamin C along with ﬁ ber and other nutrients.

Viewpoints LETTER TO THE EDITOR How students can feed Yemen this summer With schools ending and summer coming there is a great service activity students or anyone can do to help the famine victims in Yemen. Just by walking or running with the award-winning Charity Miles app (www.charitymiles.org) you could raise donations for the World Food Program and Save the Children. These two agencies are on the frontlines of relief in Yemen. Years of civil war between a Saudi Arabia led coalition against the Houthi rebels have left Yemen on the brink of famine. The World Food Program says in Yemen “Some 20 million people – 70 percent of the population – are struggling to meet their daily food needs.” They need our help to get life-saving

food. You just download the Charity Miles app and every mile you walk, run or bike leads to a donation from a corporate sponsor. Just select World Food Program or Save the Children as the charity you are supporting. It’s easy. Cincinnati Oak Hills graduate Tiﬀ any Miller set up the app within seconds. Miller, who is heading to Miami University, plans to use the app as part of her exercise routine. There are many charities to choose from and support many great causes. The Yemen relief operation is massive and charities are desperate for funds to keep up. Your actions can also encourage representatives to ensure food aid for Yemen through programs like Food for Peace. You can also make a statement that our leaders help negotiate the lasting peace Yemen so desperately needs. As

Save the Children says “All parties to this conﬂ ict, and those supporting them, must take the only responsible action which is to urgently reach a peaceful resolution. Yemen’s children cannot be made to wait while war and deadly disease rage around them.” We have to encourage the U.S. government to act as a peacemaker and humanitarian only in Yemen, and not support the Saudi coalition militarily. Save the Children, in its new Global Childhood report, shows how it is possible for countries to improve the health of their kids. But if conﬂ ict is raging these life-saving solutions are harder to implement. If funding is low it becomes even harder. Think of the children in Yemen who are at risk of deadly malnutrition. Every little bit you do can help them get lifesaving food, such as Plumpy’Nut or

Plumpy’Sup. This enriched peanut paste is produced in Rhode Island by the non-proﬁ t Edesia. WFP, Save the Children and others use this food to save children from starvation. Today you can be inspired to help save Yemen from famine with Charity Miles for the World Food Program and Save the Children. To download Charity Miles visit www.charitymiles.org.

The easiest way to know how much you’ll get from Social Security

Nathan Bachrach and Amy Wagner Guest Columnists Community Press

Every week, Allworth Financial’s Nathan Bachrach and Amy Wagner answer your questions in their Simply Money column. If you, a friend, or someone in your family has a money issue or problem, feel free to send those questions to

yourmoney@enquirer.com. Carol in Springdale: What’s the best way for me to fi nd out how much my Social Security benefi t will be? Answer: The best (and easiest) way to get an estimate of your future benefi t is to create a ‘my Social Security’ account at ssa.gov. Once you’ve set-up your account (and answered a few questions that verify your identity), you’ll have access to an abundance of important information, including: your earnings history, how much you’ve paid into the program, and, most importantly, an approximation of your monthly benefi t. You’ll also be able to check the status of

your Social Security application, request a new Social Security card, and set-up or change your direct deposit. This amount is a projection the Social Security Administration makes using certain assumptions and it can fl uctuate from year-to-year depending on your earnings. You won’t know your exact benefi t amount until you fi le for benefi ts. Therefore, consider fi ling three months before you want to start receiving benefi ts so you’ll have a more concrete number. This is something that we at Allworth Financial recommend every worker setp once they turn 18 since it gives you the

opportunity to check your earnings history for accuracy. Your future benefi t is based off your highest 35 years of earnings, so an error could impact your benefi t amount – and discovering it sooner is better than discovering it later. All it takes is comparing your W-2s to the Social Security Administration’s records. If you’re paying into Social Security, take the time to create a ‘My Social Security’ account. Social Security uses Equifax data to confi rm your identity, so if you have a credit freeze in place with that credit bureau, you’ll need to temporarily lift it to create your ‘my Social Security’ account.

GLORY DAYS

Elder baseball kept decade streak alive in ‘99 Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

On April 6, the 1999 Elder baseball team gathered at Jack Adam Stadium in celebration. They assembled to commemorate the 20-year anniversary of a Division I state baseball title that kept one of the most impressive streaks in the state alive. Elder baseball has won at least one state championship in seven consecutive decades, dating back to when Walter “Babe” Bartlett’s ‘43 club won the school’s fi rst-ever title while the United States was entrenched in World War II. While the Elder greats got a glimpse of the future walking into the Panthers’ 500-seat venue that opened in 2014, the memories and conversations were centered on 1999. Dan Bachman, who struck out the fi nal batter of the 1999 state championship game, threw out the ceremonial fi rst pitch. Steve Witterstaetter, an infi elder and team captain in 1999, sat in left fi eld and watched the Panthers — led by a similar coaching staff from 20 years ago starting with manager Mark Thompson —handle West-Side rival Oak Hills, 5-1. “That was the cool thing about the reunion — it was like nothing changed. The same group of goofy guys just having a good time,” he said.

defeats coming by a single tally. On April 30, 1999, Elder lost 17-16 in extra innings to La Salle, causing the players to be late to the school’s prom and forced dinner to be moved to a local Burger King. Elder has not allowed 17 runs in a game since. “It was a funny season,” Weller said. “Not that we didn’t take it seriously, because we wanted to win, we were just a relaxed team that knew what we were good at and that’s how we thrived as a team.” A few days later, Morano silenced La Salle’s scorched bats as Elder toppled the Lancers for the Best of the West Tournament crown, 5-1.

The ‘Rebuild’ The general consensus surrounding Elder baseball prior to the 1999 campaign was that the Panthers, coming off a 19-10 season, would be rebuilding. Three years prior, Thompson’s 1996 squad seemed to have more talent, but it fell in the state semifi nal to Tiffi n. “As we were making our way through Elder’s baseball system, there was a lot of talent in the surrounding years,” senior outfi elder Kevin Weller said. “The expectations for our senior season were never there. It was always supposed to be the down year surrounded by all these talented teams.” The Panthers had not won an outright Greater Catholic League title since 1987 and were picked to fi nish last in the conference in 1999 with catcher Aaron Brown being the only returning starter. “We were pretty unassuming, but I think what made us a success is that we got along really well, were strong fundamentally and really enjoyed being out there together,” fellow captain Jeff

Schmutte said. “Sometimes when it’s least expected and there’s not a lot of pressure it’s easier to perform. I think we were an example of that.” The chemistry between the team could not be overlooked. Of the 19 guys on the roster, over a dozen honed their baseball skills at either Our Lady of Victory School or St. Dominic. “We knew each other’s game growing up. We played against each other a whole

lot,” starting pitcher Alex Morano said. “Once we got to that level we all knew each other and everybody got along on that team.” Riding Morano and Dave Hummel, the Panthers raced out to a 5-0 start in what would be the fi rst leg of a wacky regular season. Elder fi nished the regular season 20-7 and third in the GCL, but its seven losses were by a combined nine runs, with fi ve

Since expectations were low, there was virtually no talk of the decade streak in the Hille Field dugouts. After the prom night marathon loss, Elder won seven of its fi nal eight contests — an 11-10 loss to Harrison serving as the outlier — to cap off the regular season. The Panthers blanked Princeton to open the tournament, then got past Fairfi eld and all-city pitcher Adam Keel, 6-3, to capture their fourth sectional title in fi ve seasons. “Once we started having success and got into the tournament, it became a stoSee ELDER, Page 2B

ry. Of course, you want to do anything you can to keep a tradition alive,” Schmutte said. “I remember talking about it with a few Enquirer reporters throughout the tournament, but to me it wasn’t really something that stuck out overwhelmingly. We focused on the smaller goal of winning the game in front of us.” Weller added: “It wasn’t really expected that we were gonna make a run. Not until a few games into our postseason run did it become a local media story. Then, obviously, it became something everybody talked about.” In any improbable run, there are times when a team must respond to adversity and come through when backs are against the wall. Thus was true for Elder, especially in a back-and-forth bout with Centerville in the district fi nal at Midland. The Panthers trailed 6-5, then led 8-6 before the Elks tied the game in the sixth inning. In the bottom of the frame, Witterstaetter led off with a double and scored the game-winning run on a triple by Brown to keep Elder’s run alive. “It was just an off ensive slug-fest. That one was very much up in the air,” Weller remembers. “We used pretty much our whole team; everyone contributed. Just like the entire season, it was just a total team eff ort. That game was pins and needles.” Witterstaetter added: “That game could have went either way but that’s baseball; you just never know. We had a lot of luck on our side and we were hot.” Bachman, a senior who missed most of the season with a knee injury, struck out four of the fi ve batters he faced to lead Elder past Piqua, 3-1, in the regional opener at Wright State University to set up a date with a familiar foe. Moeller and Elder split a pair of onerun regular-season contests in 1999, with each team earning 5-4 victories on the

road. However, the regional fi nal was a one-sided aff air in favor of the purple and white — a fi tting victory in a season that didn’t make sense. Morano, who gave up the game-winning hit against Moeller April 26, tossed six shutout innings, yielding just one hit while striking out eight. The Panthers got two-run extra-base hits from outfi elder Jeff Lammers and pinch-hitter Chris Braun to cap a 10-0 run-rule victory that sent Elder to the Final Four. “We could play this game 100 times and never have this happen again,” Thompson told the Enquirer after the game. Weller added: “That was a satisfying

victory because throughout our high school careers against Moeller we oftentimes came out on the short end of the stick. It was a very exciting game and there was a defi nite buzz.” Said Witterstaetter: “Everything went our way that day. After that happened we knew something was special.” ‘Best group I’ve ever been around’ True to form, Elder snatched victory from the jaws of a season-ending defeat in the state semifi nal at Thurman Munson Memorial Stadium in Canton. Trailing Toledo St. Francis De Sales, 5-4, with six outs left, Elder stormed back with eight runs over the fi nal two innings to earn its fi rst state championship berth since the streak’s last extension in 1984. With nearly 36 hours of time to kill before the state championship game against Cuyahoga Falls, Elder decided to unite even further with a hairstyle change. “Somebody got the idea of picking up a bottle of hair dye and doing it on their own and it just snowballed,” Schmutte recalls. “We ran out and got a few more bottles and I couldn’t even tell you who started it. Guys thought it was a good idea and one thing after the next, because we were how we were, it ran through the group.” It was truly an all-for-one, one-for-all mentality that bonded the 1999 Panthers. Dying their hair blonde was just another example of the bonding between an extremely close, outgoing unit. “To say we were a close-knit group is an understatement,” Witterstaetter said. “That’s just the way we rolled and everybody had each other’s back. It’s the best team I’ve ever been a part of.” As if the continuing the decade streak wasn’t enough, Elder received more motivation when they caught a glimpse of Cuyahoga Falls’ fashion statement. “That team, they came in pretty cocky. They had 31-1 state champ shirts already on and that got us fi red up before the game even started,” Witterstaetter said. Morano’s hair never turned blonde. He would sport an orange hair-do when he took the mound for the biggest game of his life. After getting only three hours of sleep the night before, his fi rst pitch plunked the leadoff man before the nerves settled down. Morano pitched into the fi fth inning, yielding a pair of runs on four hits and three walks. Elder was a club that prided itself on the fundamentals — steady pitching, solid defense and an off ense that moved runners into scoring position with strategically-placed ground balls and sacrifi cing bunts before driving them in. Of its 24 hits in the state tournament, 23 were singles — none bigger than the last one. With the score tied 2-2 in the top of the seventh, Elder staged a two-out championship rally. After Brown singled and infi elder Anthony McClarnon walked, Lammers drove both of them home on a sharply-hit single to center

ﬁ eld to make it 4-2. “We weren’t a real fancy team. If you watched us take batting practice you would probably say ‘what makes these guys so special?’ We did the small things well,” Schmutte said. Three outs later and the championship celebration was on — Elder had completed the journey from preseason outcast to state champion for the 11th time in program history with a total team eﬀ ort. “This isn’t the most talented group of kids. But it’s the best group I’ve ever been around — everyone of them,” Thompson told the Enquirer’s Mark Schmetzer after the game. “They got better every day.”

Looking back Memories from that magical run are not as vivid as they once were. Schmutte admittedly recalls only certain tidbits from that postseason run, but what he, and most guys, remember most are each other — a brotherhood of baseballcrazed teammates eating Whoppers in tuxedos and innocently drifting through the streets of Canton with cans of hair dye. “Looking back on it, you don’t think in the moment how special it is. The relationships we were able to forge have turned into 20-year friendships,” Weller said. “We get together, call each other champs and it’s like old times again.” Witterstaetter uses his senior squad as a lesson for the teams he coached on Cincinnati’s West Side for nearly a decade. “If you ask any of the coaches back then if they had a better team, from the standpoint of the word team, I don’t think they have ever had a better team than that. They defi nitely had more talented guys, but from a team standpoint I would stack us up against anybody.” The days of old are fond to Elder parents, too. At the reunion, some parents, dubbed the “Pom Pom Moms” in 1999 passed the same streamers, now stained, tattered and discolored, from 20 years ago to today’s Panther faithful. “They handed those over and kinda told them ‘it’s your job now,’” Witterstaetter said with a laugh. That’s because today’s Elder team is facing a similar scenario. The Panthers have not won a state championship since extending the streak to seven decades with a Division I title in 2005. The resemblance is uncanny. This year’s team may have been overlooked after a last-place GCL fi nish in 2018, but split the conference crown this season and won their fi rst-round playoff game over Winton Woods Monday night. They host Lebanon in the second round of sectionals Thursday. “They are up against (the decade deadline) this year. I think they have a pretty good shot; anything can happen,” Schmutte said.

COMMUNITY NEWS Medical Volunteers of Cincinnati honored by Bethany House Services Medical Volunteers of Cincinnati were honored with the Volunteer Group of the Year Award by Bethany House Services at the BHS annual meeting. Now in their 28th year, Medical Volunteers of Cincinnati have provided care for some of our community’s most vulnerable population, particularly individuals experiencing homelessness. At Bethany House, they are known as the “Foot Care People.” This group of selfl ess medical professionals and lay people have cared for the feet of Bethany’s moms for over 20 years. “By providing an assessment and treatment of our moms’ feet, this special group of volunteers hope to not only bring comfort to them, but also to break down barriers by having a personal interaction as they focus on each individual,” explained BHS Development Director Deanna Powell as she presented the award. Guests’ feet are washed, nails trimmed, lotion applied, feet massaged, and they’re given a new pair of socks and fi tted for new shoes to provide comfort on their journey. “These people of faith provide a Biblical example of selfl ess service to their neighbors in need as the core of their service to Bethany House, and we are grateful for the care they show to our families,” added Powell. This dedicated group of volunteers has contributed more than 2,000 hours during their 2018-2019 season. They had provided foot care at seven locations in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, serving over 500 homeless and working poor individuals. Bethany House Services is Cincinnati’s largest provider of emergency shelter and housing programs for families experiencing homelessness. Founded in 1983, BHS supports families as they move from homelessness to housing, independence, and self-suffi ciency, ensuring each family has the necessary skills and supports so that they

Text on the two-sided marker covers the early history of Cheviot and Harvest Home Park, starting with the Carson family settling in what would become Green Township in 1809 and then Cheviot in 1818. The ﬁ rst Green Township Harvest Home festivities were held in 1860 at Carson's grove (today known as Harvest Home Park). Original cobblestones from Harrison Avenue are placed around the base of the marker.

Thanks to the overwhelming response by the West Side Community, the Harvest Home Fair will continue for its 159th year in 2019, ad the years beyond. Our call for community volunteers to be a part of the parade and fair was answered by a committed core of local men and women who share our love for the fair, and the fun and tradition it brings, on the ﬁ rst weekend after Labor Day. Those who responded have fond memories of the fair from childhood, and are eager and happy to keep the fair alive and well. The Harvest Home Fair Association will have two more general meetings before the Fair, at 7 p.m. on July 16 and August 20, both at the Harvest Home Lodge. All are welcome. Save the date for the fair. The parade starts at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 5, and there is free admission to Harvest Home Park after the parade. Fair hours are Friday, September 6, 5 to 11 p.m., Saturday, September 7, noon to 11 p.m., and Sunday, September 8, from noon to 7 p.m. Please see our website at www.har vesthomefair.com. Pete Rebold

It is important we provide supportive services to children in need so they have a shot at a healthy, purposeful future,” said Lt.

the involvement of the United Health Foundation provides a new level support for the important work being done here.” The Integrated Access Team will decrease the time between the initial intake interview and assessment, and the time from assessment to treatment. Sheri Hager

Mount St. Joseph University Children’s Center celebrates 40th anniversary It all began with years of experience and a deep love of children. Sister Redempta Wittberg, SC, served as assistant director of the Children’s Convalescent Home in Cincinnati before she joined the Sisters of Charity in 1941. In addition, she worked as supervisor of pediatrics for 18 years at St.

Among others, Summit students from left Jack Hollenbeck, Tarek Hasan, and David Schnitter earned superior ratings from the OMEA at the Solo and Ensemble Event. PROVIDED Thirty-two Mercy McAuley sophomores were inducted into the National Honor Society on April 17. PROVIDED

Joseph Hospital in Mt. Clemens, Michigan, and then director of nursing services at multiple hospitals, including Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati. After she retired from the Mount in 1979, Sister Redempta could not ignore her calling to help children, so she established a child care center on campus and became its fi rst director. She wanted to allow mothers to be able to get their education without having to worry about their children, and to make every child feel important. Now celebrating its 40th anniversary, the Mount’s Children’s Center has once again been rated fi ve out of fi ve stars by Ohio Step Up to Quality. Named the Charlotte Schmidlapp Children’s Center, this facility off ers care for children three months to fi ve years of age while Mount parents are attending class, studying, or participating in class related activities off campus. The Children’s Center is designed to meet the developmental needs of each child in a safe, healthy environment. It has been rated fi ve out of fi ve stars consistently by Ohio Step Up to Quality, a

rating system for early learning programs due to its highly trained teachers, development of school readiness, commitment to continuous improvement, and focus on family engagement. “The teachers do so much for the children and student parents,” says current director of the Children’s Center Janet Baltzersen, “I oﬀ er my gratitude to the Mount for supporting and believing in our program for so long.” Though the Children’s Center’s dedication to service has remained consistent, it has seen some changes over the years. It has been awarded several grants for new supplies and a natural playground with native plants, a creek, and garden beds. The Center has also been able to accommodate more student volunteers and workers, allowing them to do child observations, assessments, and practice teaching skills. Sasha Feldmann

Several Summit band members earn ‘superior’ rating from OMEA Numerous Summit Middle School

band members impressed adjudicators from the Ohio Music Education Association at the Solo and Ensemble Event in April. Logan Miller, Fort Thomas; Nicholas Stanis, Delhi; Sam Parker, Loveland; Jude Gerhardt, Colerain Township; Tarek Hasan, Hyde Park and David Schnitter, Clermont County’s Union Township, all earned a superior rating. A superior rating requires, among other criterion, “an outstanding performance.” In addition, several Summit Chamber Ensembles also earned the superior rating: the clarinet trio of David, Max Jambor, Hyde Park, and Jude; the trumpet trio of Jack Hollenbeck, Mason, Sam and Logan; and the woodwind ensemble of Ali Burns, Anderson Township; Shannon Dennemann, Norwood; Maria Bishop, Mason; and Lyla Soper, Covington. The brass trio of Tarek, Nick Carle, Kenwood; and Kyle Lauckner, Mt. Carmel, fell just short of the top mark but still turned in a performance that showed accomplishment and great promise said Robert Browning, the Director of Instrumental Music. Nick Robbe
