‘You’re stuck here’

My election trip home to the West Side Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: This is one of in a series of stories we’re calling “Going Home” in which journalists from the USA TODAY Ohio network return to the communities where they grew up to share fi rsthand how the contentious 2020 election is playing out in various corners of this battleground state.

OK. Let’s get the most important question out of the way fi rst. I went to Elder High School.

Some of you might say, so what?

But where I’m from, it’s a big deal.

What high school you went to is the fi rst thing that usually comes up among Cincinnati West Siders who meet abroad, such as when we fi nd ourselves on Cincinnati’s East Side or across the river in Northern Kentucky.

When asked about my roots, I’m proud to identify which side of Cincinnati I grew up on, blue-collar and not blue blood like those East Siders (Kidding! I kid because I love. Don’t @ me.)

It’s the type of mostly suburban enclave so many pundits and experts across the country are watching intently this election cycle. So I went back home to fi nd out what people in my old neighborhood and high school think about the 2020 election.

The verdict: Most of the West Side just outside Cincinnati’s city limits is still President Donald Trump country, but Joe Biden could get more votes here than past Democrats.

In the West Side neighborhoods of Price Hill, Westwood and South Fairmount, all in Cincinnati’s city limits,

Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld announced Oct. 8 that he’s identifi ed the fi nal $1 million needed to start work on a aff ordable housing project in Lower Price Hill that will house nearly 50 families.

The project has been approved by Cincinnati Planning Commission and has $10 million in state funding, along with another $1 million raised by the project coordinators, Community Matters and Over-the-Rhine Community Housing.

It needs $12 million.

The groups had thought the city would grant the project $1 million in federal grant money that fl ows to the city.

But at the last minute, just as the fi nal funding plan was due, city administrators told the groups they would not get the funding.

Mayor John Cranley said he prefers owner-driven aff ordable housing, not rental units.

Sittenfeld recently held a hearing to determine exactly why the project was nixed at the last minute, but got few answers.

Lower Price Hills resident and business owners pleaded with council for help at the hearing, saying the housing is needed for people who work at manuSee HOUSING, Page 8A

Pat Bruns, 69, of West Price Hill poses with several Democratic campaign signs outside her house in West Price Hill on Sept. 24. Bruns says she will vote for Joe Biden in the upcoming 2020 presidential election.

Hillary Clinton easily won in 2016 beating Trump 71% to 23%.

But once you get to the suburban hillsides and villages of Green Township, Cheviot, Delhi and the more rural communities of Cleves, Harrison and Whitewater Townships, Trump dominated four years ago, 65% to 28%.

That dynamic still seems largely at play with some diff erences around the edges.

‘They don’t let you out’ Set back miles from any highway

with dozens of Catholic churches visible near most street corners, change has come slowly to the suburbs of Cincinnati’s West Side, or not at all.

Geography and history have made my hometown traditionally conservative. People often move out of their parent’s house and buy the neighbor’s house.

“It’s always been a very conservative, older community,” said Barb Nieman sitting on the porch of her twostory Green Township home on a See WEST SIDE, Page 2A

wooded hillside overlooking Muddy Creek. The sylvan landscape hints at the region’s rural past before the suburban sprawl of the 1950s and 1960s.

She grew up three miles away and lived all her 56 years in the area. Her nine siblings live nearby, with the furthest an hour drive away.

“They don’t let you out of the West Side,” Nieman said with a laugh.

“You’re stuck here.”

Not that she’d want to leave.

Even though I’m from there, I wasn’t sure the reaction I would get from the people talking about politics.

My parents still live there. Granted, my German last name only has two syllables instead of the preferred three or four for a proper West Side family, Devendorf, Weingartner, Kleinschmidthoff er. (My buddy came up with a game where you can West Siderize any name by adding two or three Germansounding suffi xes: Schmidt, Dorf, Darp, Gartner, Klein, Kamp, Man. Try it out.

It’s addicting.)

So I sort of dreaded this assignment, knowing I’d probably get the cold shoulder.

Indeed the fi rst day I went back, I got a lot of suspicious glances and people reluctant to talk.

“Why the hell would I give you my name?” said one man wearing an Elder cap sitting inside Price Hill Chili, the unoffi cial town hall of the West Side.”You’ve got to be out of your mind.”

He and a dozen of his classmates from the Elder Class of 1955 sat at a table in the restaurant, remnants of the restaurant’s famous massive sandwiches before them. If you graduated Elder prior to 1975, you or your classmates probably meet at least once a month at Price Hill Chili.

All except two were Trump supporters. Only one would talk to me for my story. The one, Dick Royer, was one of the two people among his classmates voting for Biden.

“I’m not a Biden guy, but I don’t like Trump,” said Royer, a resident of North Bend. Royer said the last Republican presidential candidate he voted for was George W. Bush. Trump didn’t win him over the past four years. “He lies, exaggerates and never admits a mistake.”

How to share news from your community

An LGBTQ flag and satirical political signs conflict with signs supporting local Republican candidates on two neighboring yards on South Road in Green Township on Sept. 24. HANNAH RUHOFF

Spurned by my alma mater I didn’t have much better luck at my alma mater. It was the fi rst time I had been there since May 1998 when I graduated. The school looked much diff erent, less the cold, austere early 20th Century castle I remember, and more a cozier 21st Century castle with a stateof-the-art fi tness center and better lighting.

Many of the same teachers are there, including the current principal who was a teacher, dean of students and wrestling coach during my time there. I wanted to catch up and fi nd out how the school has changed.

It was and still is the center of life for many West Siders. The football stadium, dubbed The Pit in reference to the school’s mascot, The Panthers, is often ranked among the best places nationally to take in a high school football game.

But I found no one with my alma mater wanted to participate in any story with a political bent.

So instead of visiting the ghosts of my past, I just drove around my old neighborhood and talked to people.

That worked out much better.

Why there are so many Trump supporters here I found mostly Trump supporters who supported the president not for any particular issue but based on their gut feeling. They like the president.

Their family likes the president. And their friends and neighbors like the president.

Back on that wooded hillside in Green Township, Nieman and her whole family are Trump supporters as are her neighbors, or at least the ones she talks to. Signs for Trump and other Republican candidates fi ll a patch of grass and gravel below her hillside. The property and signs are shared by Nieman and her neighbor. There was also a red sign referencing the QAnon conspiracy theory crowd, “Q+ for President 2020.” That sign is not hers, she said.

It’s her neighbor’s. “I don’t know who Q is,” she said.

For readers who also are in the dark, QAnon is a loosely connected network of discredited and baseless conspiracy theories accusing Democrats and Hollywood elites of being in a cabal of See WEST SIDE, Page 4A

pedophiles and human traffi ckers.

The neighbor didn’t answer the door when I knocked.

Nieman doesn’t buy into the QAnon conspiracy theories but does support Trump. She thinks he’s been good for the economy.

The daily controversies coming out of the White House don’t seem to sway her. She didn’t pay too much attention to the Bob Woodward revelations in his book that Trump downplayed the seriousness of the pandemic. Ditto on Trump’s waffl ing on whether he’d accept the election results. She said she believes Trump will step down if he loses.

I talked to Nieman before the fi rst presidential debate, the New York Times story about Trump’s tax returns and his COVID-19 diagnosis. But it’s not likely any of that swayed her.

“There’s not any chance you are go-

ing to see me vote for anyone other than Donald Trump,” Nieman said. “I’m not going to vote for Joe Biden. I don’t think he has the stamina. I don’t think he’s healthy to look at him.”

Signs of change But the neighborhood is becoming more diverse, both politically and culturally, at least compared to the 1980s and 1990s when I was growing up. The community is not monolithic.

Larry Laprade moved from Downtown to Cheviot two years ago for the peace and quiet. When asked about the presidential race, he didn’t hesitate to say Biden. Laprade, 65, said his neighborhood is a 50-50 mix of Trump and Biden supporters.

Trump’s Supreme Court nomination concerns Laprade. He’s afraid a more conservative court will gut the Aff ordable Care Act. “Trump is a liar and a conman,” Laprade said. “He’s conning the people.

About to claim Social Security? Choose wisely Allworth Advice Amy Wagner & Nathan Bachrach Guest columnists

Question: Michael from Harrison: I was told that if I claim Social Security early that my benefi t will eventually still increase. Is this true?

A: There are two ways we can read this question. The fi rst is in regard to your full benefi t amount that’s tied to your Full Retirement Age (FRA): If you claim before your FRA (which is now between age 66 and 67 for most people), your benefi t will be permanently reduced for life. It will not increase once you eventually reach your FRA. For example, let’s say at your FRA of 67 you’re entitled to a "full" benefi t of $1,500 a month. If you would start claiming at the earliest age possible (in most cases) of 62, you would actually only receive 70% of that full benefi t, or $1,050 a month. And this monthly amount would not increase to $1,500 once you reach age 67.

The second way we could interpret this question is in regard to the annual cost of living adjustment (COLA). If this is to what you’re referring, then yes, even if you claim early, your benefi t amount will still increase if a COLA is announced – but the amount is usually nominal. For instance, all benefi ciaries received a 1.6 % increase in 2020 (so the $1,050 monthly benefi t in the above example would have increased to about $1,067 a month). But a COLA isn’t guaranteed: There was no COLA in 2010, 2011 or 2016. (The Social Security Administration typically makes its COLA announcement in October, so we should know the plan for 2021 soon.)

The Allworth Advice is that deciding when to take Social Security is one of the most important retirement decisions you will make. Please make sure you truly understand all the rules before setting anything in stone. If you need help, consider reaching out to a fi duciary fi nancial adviser.

Q: D.S. in Mason: I own some stock that recently split. Should this matter to me at all?

A: In short, as a stockholder, the simple answer is no. But of course, we can’t just stop our answer there! So, let’s briefl y explain the concept of a stock split.

Think of a publicly owned company as a whole pie. Then imagine each slice of pie is one share of that company’s stock. Now, let’s say that pie is currently cut into eight slices and each slice is worth $100 (making the company’s total "market capitalization" $800). If that company announces a 2-for-1 stock split, it’s doubling the number of slices while decreasing the value of each slice by half. In this case, our pie would be cut into 16 slices – but each slice would now only be valued at $50. Even though there are more shares of stock available, the price of each share is now lower, so the company’s total market capitalization is still the same ($800).

Bottom line, just because you have more slices doesn’t mean you have more pie.

Why would a company want to do this? Typically, it’s to make the stock more attractive and accessible to a wider array of investors.

So, let’s get back to your situation.

You now own more shares of the company, but since the stock price is lower, the total price of those shares is still the same as it was before the split. The good news is that if you were ever considering buying more shares of the company, now could be an opportune time since the stock price is lower.

Here’s The Allworth Advice: Stock splits can make for popular fodder in the fi nancial news media. But for the average investor, while it’s benefi cial to be aware of what’s happening to any stock you own, a stock split itself is pretty meaningless.

Question: Howard from Pendleton County: Will a Trump or Biden victory be better for stocks?

A: We’re guessing this is a question that’s on a lot of people’s mind right now, especially with the election just weeks away. But here’s the thing: In the end, it doesn’t matter who’s in the White

House.

You might be thinking, “Well, that can’t be true at all.” But in reality, it’s a common misconception that the president – or the president’s party – is the primary driver of the stock market.

There are just too many other outside factors in play: the Federal Reserve, corporate profi ts, interest rates, valuations, infl ation, and nonfi nancial events (like a global pandemic), just to name a few.

Now, it is true that some patterns have emerged over time. According to our research at Allworth, over a full presidential cycle stocks have typically performed better while a Democrat was in offi ce. However, stock performance has been superior in election years in which a Republican won.

But here’s the biggest key point we want to make: On average, over time, stocks have generated positive returns – no matter which party is in charge.

Additionally, the data (and history) show that trying to time the market based on who’s in offi ce would have caused you to miss out on some of the market’s biggest gains.

The Allworth Advice is that we recommend always checking your political sentiments at the door when it comes to your investments. Your money should be neither “red” nor “blue.” If you have a sound, long-term strategy that matches your needs, goals and risk tolerance, that’s all that truly matters.

“creditable” drug coverage for more than 63 continuous days since the end of your Medicare Initial Enrollment Period. This penalty would be added to your monthly Part D premium for perpetuity (in most cases), and the amount depends on how many months you’ve went without the coverage. The amount can also change from year-to-year.

And while we don’t want to make things confusing, we also want to mention that during this upcoming open enrollment period you’re also allowed to switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage Plan (also known as “Part C”). Medicare Advantage Plans are basically an all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare – and typically come with built-in drug coverage. This could be worth looking into.

Here’s The Allworth Advice: The world of Medicare isn’t the easiest to navigate. Be sure to visit online at Medicare.gov/plan-compare to compare all your options before making any concrete decisions. And if you decide to stick with Original Medicare and add on Part D, don’t miss the open enrollment window.

Q: Margie in Cleves: I’m currently on Original Medicare, but I didn’t originally sign up for drug coverage.

Am I stuck with this decision? Or can I somehow add drug coverage?

A: The good news is that you’re not stuck with your decision – but there are a few caveats.

In your case, since it sounds like you’re not a new enrollee into Medicare, you can only sign-up for “Part D” drug coverage during a certain designated period. This is known as the “open enrollment’ period,” and it actually starts soon: It runs from Oct. 15th through Dec. 7. (Your new Part D coverage would then take eff ect Jan. 1.)

It’s also important to note that you may be subject to a Part D late-enrollment penalty if you’ve gone without

facturing companies in the neighborhood and shared details of the substandard housing that exists now.

Sittenfeld and a majority of council have said they would fi nd the needed money elsewhere.

In this case, Sittenfeld has identifi ed $1 million from federal grant money coming to the city next year for aff ordable housing. He’s putting the idea forward, but it’s up to Cranley to advance the idea to Cincinnati City Council, which must give fi nal approval.

“Letting this project fall by the wayside is simply not an option,” Sittenfeld said at a press conference Oct. 8 where more than a dozen people who live and work in the neighborhood gathered to hear the news.

“I have stated clearly and repeatedly that aff ordable housing is one of my top priorities, and many others on the City Council have expressed similar sentiments. This is a project worth fi ghting for and worth saving.”

Mary Delaney, director of Community Matters, said she was “fi lled with joy.”

“A week ago... we thought everything we worked for might disappear. Our everyday lives are spent here looking at these buildings and dreaming what they can be. It truly is a miracle project for us.”

“We’re a small but mighty community,” Delaney added.

He’s trying to take away people’s health care. He’s doing it during a pandemic. That’s why he’s rushing to get a Supreme Court justice.”

People in West Price Hill are more receptive to Biden than they were for Hillary Clinton in 2016, said Patricia Bruns. Bruns, 69, has lived in Price Hill since 1976 and is active in the Democratic Party. While Clinton won Price Hill in 2016, Bruns wouldn’t go as far as to call it a liberal area.

But she didn’t get any of her Biden signs stolen from her yard this year like she did with Clinton in 2016. And she’s getting a more positive reception when canvassing door-to-door with more people saying they’ll vote for Biden.

Bruns described this as a “weird vortex” election year with a pandemic and Trump at the top of the Republican ticket.

“I think especially in this time, people are so tired and frustrated,” Bruns said. “I just think people are paying more attention.”

She doesn’t know how the area is permanently moving more to the left politically. But she does see change.

More art organizations have moved to the area, she said. A nearby Masonic temple is being converted into a music venue. A new brewery is being proposed nearby.

What we live with every day. I’m trying to re-elevate this building, fi xing it up and doing nice stuff to it. I plan on being here another 10 years plus or better.”

‘It’s America’

The iron curtain for Democrats

More Black people are also moving to the area, said Todd B., owner of Todd Cutts barbershop in Cheviot.

He didn’t want to give his full last name but said I could look it up online and use it. The business is listed under a Todd Bumphis.

Census fi gures and estimates back this up.

In 2000, Cheviot was 97% white, according to the U.S. Census. There were 71 total Black people living in Cheviot, less than 1% of the population.

While the population of Cheviot has declined from 9,015 in 2000 to an estimated 8,300 in 2018, the city has diversifi ed a little.

In 2018,the census estimated the number of Black people in Cheviot at 955, almost 12% of the population.

Todd B. opened his barbershop in Cheviot six years ago because the building was available. His barbershop welcomes all people, but his clientele is mostly Black, he said.

“It’s becoming more diverse over here,” he said. “I think they’re starting to get more Black people.”

He doesn’t feel Cheviot has embraced him. He lamented that only once has a city council member stopped by his business and that was to ask to hang campaign signs.

But he’s not leaving.

“It’s America,” he said. “This is what we live in.

The further west you go, the scarcer Joe Biden and Kamala Harris signs are. Indeed, the Cincinnati city limits seem to be the Iron Curtain for Democratic voters.

In my Green Township neighborhood around the house I grew up just outside Cincinnati’s city limits, I saw three Biden signs. The number of Trump signs were too numerable to count.

“Everybody’s Trump,” said Linda Tscheiner, talking about her neighbors in her Green Township neighborhood. She stood on the patio of her ranch house overlooking a yard sale she was having for her 57th birthday. Old board games, ceramics, lawn furniture and shelves were splayed out in her yard. Tscheiner pointed to her neighbors in Green Township, a few with Trump fl ags and American fl ags waving in the breeze.

“He’s Trump. He’s Trump. I don’t have a fl ag. Well, I have an American fl ag.”

Tscheiner, 57, said she’s always voted Republican for president, though she did like Jimmy Carter, whom she sees as a humanitarian. She was too young to vote for him at the time, though.

How does she view Trump? She agreed he’s not a humanitarian like Carter.

“He’s kind of like me,” she said. “We’re kind of straight forward.”

Root vegetable and chickpea tagine is a ‘fi lling, healthful’ meal Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Our garden is gourd and winter squash central for family, neighbors and friends. The little ones love to explore the vines holding these autumn treasures.

During a recent hunt, granddaughters Ellery, Eva and Emerson found what they claimed was a new kind of gourd. Not so.

They found edible tan honey nut squash, a very small member of the large butternut squash family.

I planted seeds in June and somehow the honey nut squash vines wound up tangling with ornamental gourds.

Honey nut butternut squash is easy to prepare. The peel is tender so I leave it on. Seeds are small enough to leave in.

The perfect butternut to include in this warming vegetarian tagine recipe.

I fi rst tasted this stew during a winter Turner Farms, Indian Hill (turnerfarm.org) culinary class on sources of anti-infl ammatory, fi ber fi lled plant foods and herbs. Topped with a spicy yogurt herb sauce, this stew is a fi lling, healthful and delish meal. I adapted their recipes only slightly.

Craig Salvati, Lakota East See SOCCER, Page 2B

Associate Professor Dave Kelley of the University of Cincinnati would rather not grade the papers of his Masters in Sports Administration students when there’s a better alternative. As a result, some area high schools have benefi ted and several of his graduates are employed in prominent athletic departments in Greater Cincinnati.

All by not grading papers?

Well, in lieu of the standard blue book or lengthy thesis, Kelley has had his students partner with local Cincinnati and some regional schools for something more meaningful than a grade.

With fi nancial hardship being a byproduct of the coronavirus pandemic, every school is looking for ways to replace revenue lost due to the cancellation of spring athletics and the social distancing required this fall with limited spectators.

In recent years Kelley has had his Master’s students in “Applied Financial Management Strategies in Athletics” team up with local schools to fi nd athletic dollars that might not be available to all schools.

“I wanted to create a course that would end up benefi ting a number of schools,” Kelley said. “I have them (students) go through the grant-writing process from cradle to grave to where they can hand it off to the athletic director of that school.”

Kelley’s student, Matt Demarco, worked with a former Bearcat student, Alex Mallue, the athletic director at Riverview East Academy.

Together, they applied for the Good Sports grant.

With help from Kelley’s current students, his old student Mallue applied and was awarded grant money that paid for sports equipment, apparel and footwear for the athletes at Riverview East, a school in the Cincinnati Public School district.

The project not only helped Riverview East but also Oyler as Demarco struck up a conversation during a basketball game with their AD leading to more grant money for a CPS school.

“A big need of ours was additional equipment, football hitting dummies, anything like that,” Mallue said. “This student went out and found Good Sports, which I had never heard of. It’s a company that specializes in giving out equipment to schools like us that don’t have as many resources. We worked on the grant together and ended up being rewarded an equipment grant.”

The grant doesn’t come in a dollar amount but covers a certain amount of athletic equipment. Mallue says it all adds up, citing the cost of an OHSAA basketball is $80-90.

Cincinnati Public Schools like Riverview East are funded by Activities Beyond the Classroom. Unlike bigger CPS schools like Walnut Hills, Taft and Hughes, who bring in a fair amount of money from basketball, Riverview East really relies on the ABC money. However, the ABC budget is currently frozen, making the grant help more of a necessity.

“The pandemic really hit us all hard, but really hit Activities Beyond the Classroom hard,” Mallue said. “The fact that we have this grant now to go out and get this equipment could not have come at a better time.”

This semester, Kelley’s students have again partnered with Mallue at Riverview East as well as Purcell Marian assistant AD Reid Hollinger and Purcell Marian AD and head football coach D.J. Dowdy (a former Cincinnati Bearcat tight end) to seek grant opportunities.

Hollinger is helping apply for a grant with the NFL and Cincinnati Bengals that could lead to turf replacement on Purcell Marian’s practice fi eld. The fi eld behind the school is less than 100 yards and Hollinger estimates the turf is 10 years old. Prior to its construction, the Cavaliers would board a bus to practice See ADS, Page 2B

Leaving the Bearcats before his fi nal season, Hughes went to Germany to play professionally for a second-level Bundesliga club. His overseas stay was short and he returned with the Cincinnati Kings in the USL Second Division in 2005. He moved to several diff erent USL teams before beginning an indoor soccer career that saw him named the league’s MVP. Hughes still plays indoor with the Ontario Fury.

Jimmy Cummings, Madeira Cummings contributed 67 assists in his career at Madeira and held school records in assists and goals during his tenure. Cummings was the Division III Player of the Year in 2003.

Cummings played at Xavier University and was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team in 2004.

Maciejewski was the Division III Player of the Year in his 2015 senior campaign and was an NSCAA Boys’ Fall High School All-American.

During his career at Bowling Green State University, Maciejewski began playing with the Cincinnati Dutch Lions. For Bowling Green, he was on the MAC All-Tournament Team as a junior in 2018 and was Second Team All-MidAmerican Conference as a senior in 2019. Top Drawer Soccer had Maciejewski as one of the Top 20 players of the MAC.

Walker played for the development team, the Michigan Bucks, in 2013 before being signed by the Columbus Crew. Walker was loaned out from the Crew before making an appearance.

Walker also made professional stops with AFC Cleveland and a Slovenian club.

Laird graces the KHSAA record books for most goals and assists in a career. From 1980-1983, Laird had a career 93 goals and 43 assists.

Sam Bascom, Madeira Bascom picked up the Gatorade Player of the Year in 2012 after contributing 85 points with 27 goals and 31 assists while Madeira advanced to the Division III quarterfi nals in 2012.

“I did this project when I was in school,” Hollinger said. “This would be a huge help and a lot less work on our end. It’s defi nitely time to replace it.

That turf fi eld is used between both of our soccer teams, football teams and when we’re not in COVID, youth teams.

It would be huge to get at least a little bit of money from the NFL to help replace it.”

Harrison High School just recently installed new turf through the help of the Bengals and the NFL Grassoorts Program to the tune of $250,000. Purcell Marian’s grant would go through the same process.

“The less you can go and ask of alumni and local businesses the more you’re able to use their money for something else,” Hollinger said.

Kelley’s students are scattered throughout Cincinnati and the U.S. In addition to Mallue, Hollinger and Dowdy, Roger Bacon’s Brandon Spaeth, Milford’s Aaron Zupka, Andrew Mueller of Hughes and Brian Reinhart of La Salle are among those mentored by Kelley, who can often be seen at weekend prep events throughout Greater Cincinnati. Kelsey Mitchell of Princeton/Ohio State/WNBA is a recent grad and current Bearcats wide receiver Michael Young Jr. is in the program.

“Oftentimes athletic directors don’t have the human or fi nancial resources to do grant-writing,” Kelley said. “We’re sort of fi lling that need. Our graduate students are interacting with the athletic department, gathering the demographic information of the school and doing what’s necessary to get everything prepared to apply for the grant.”

In the end, the UC students graduate with a tangible skillset; the ability to generate revenue. They also get a realistic look at the fi nancial constraints the many public/parochial schools face.

“The AD role has changed dramatically the last 15-20 years,” Kelley said.

“There’s a lot more to it in terms of planning and fi nancial components. If you can demonstrate that you can generate revenue on a consistent basis through corporate sponsorship or grantsmanship, they’re going to fi nd a place for you.”

SCHOOL NEWS LaSalle High partners with Stepping Stones for Community Service Day

Oak Hills students named Distinguished XU Scholars

On Sept. 18, four LaSalle High School freshmen and their fathers were called to serve their community with a visit to Stepping Stones’ Drex Campus in Norwood.

Grabbing buckets and soap, the 8man crew cleaned a fl eet of accessible vans inside and out at a car wash. These vehicles are used by the agency’s Adult Day Services program, which provides skill-building and community exploration opportunities to adults and seniors with varying disabilities.

The car wash was organized as part of LaSalle’s Freshmen Day of Renewal, with father-son groups completing service projects at multiple partnering organizations around the Tri-state.

Founded in 1963, Stepping Stones is a nonprofi t, United Way partner agency that serves children, teens and adults with disabilities.

The organization has four Greater Cincinnati locations, including sites in Batavia, Indian Hill, Norwood and Western Hills. To learn more about Stepping Stones, visit SteppingStonesOhio.org.

The Jewish Hospital – Mercy Health and Mercy Health - West Hospital recently achieved Magnet recognition as a refl ection of their nursing professionalism, teamwork and superiority in patient care. They join Mercy Health – Fairfi eld Hospital in holding Magnet Recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Magnet Recognition Program, distinguishes organizations that meet rigorous standards for nursing excellence.

With this credential, The Jewish

Hospital and West Hospital join the global community of Magnet-recognized organizations. Just a small and select group of US health care organizations have achieved Magnet recognition.

“Achieving Magnet recognition reinforces to our nurses the culture of excellence that is a cornerstone of how we serve our community,” said The Jewish Hospital Chief Nursing Offi cer Vanessa Vonderhaar-Picard.

“It’s also tangible evidence of our nurses’ commitment to providing the very best care to our patients, of which we are extremely proud,” said West Hospital Chief Nursing Offi cer Jen Jackson.

“Magnet recognition provides our community with the ultimate benchmark to measure the quality of patient care,” said Bon Secours Mercy Health Chief Nursing Executive, Mid-American Group, Stephanie Meade.

Research demonstrates that Magnet

recognition provides specifi c benefi ts to health care organizations and their communities, such as: h Higher patient satisfaction with nurse communication, availability of help and receipt of discharge information h Lower risk of 30-day mortality and lower failure to rescue rates h Higher job satisfaction among nurses h Lower nurse reports of intentions to leave their positions Magnet recognition is the gold standard for nursing excellence and is a factor when the public judges health care organizations. U.S. News & World Report’s annual showcase of “America’s Best Hospitals” includes Magnet recognition in its ranking criteria for quality of inpatient care.

The Magnet Model provides a framework for nursing practice, research, and measurement of outcomes. Through this framework, ANCC evaluates applicants across a number of components and dimensions to gauge an organization’s nursing excellence.

The foundation of this model comprises various elements deemed essential to delivering superior patient care.

These include the quality of nursing leadership and coordination and collaboration across specialties, as well as processes for measuring and improving the quality and delivery of care.
