‘I am still strong’: Tracie Hunter out of jail Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

After 75 days in jail, former juvenile court judge Tracie Hunter walked from her cell into a crowd of supporters Saturday, Oct. 5. About 40 people began gathering before 4:30 a.m. to support Hunter. Many wore shirts emblazoned with her name. Others held banners calling for her exoneration. One sign proclaimed she was innocent, a “history maker and a trailblazer.” After years of court battles, Hunter was ordered to serve six months in jail in July. She was convicted of a felony charge related to giving confi dential documents to her brother, a juvenile court employee who was in the process of being fi red. She has always maintained her innocence. Hunter was able to leave jail before six months because the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Offi ce said she completed a court-authorized work detail program ministering to her fellow inmates. Hunter received three days of credit for every day served. When Hunter walked over from the door of the Hamilton County Justice Center, she was swarmed by supporters. Ebony Singley has had a lifetime of difficulties, including mental illness and abuse. PROVIDED/VICTORIA CURTIS

What is next for woman shot in the leg by police? Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Ebony Singley has shown up twice in the newspaper. First in 1996 when she was 3 and, in a shocking act of child abuse, her mother placed her in a scalding bath. And again this year, when she was shot by a Cincinnati police offi cer after threatening to kill a grandmother and fi ve children. Ebony is now 26, jailed at the Hamilton County Justice Center and, by many accounts including her own, mentally ill. She was shot when she tried to charge into a house with a knife in July. A woman was inside along with fi ve children. When offi cers arrived, the woman opened the door and Ebony tried to get in.

Before she could harm anyone, an oﬃ cer ﬁ red a round into her leg. “I said I’m going to kill everyone in the house and then I’m going to kill myself,” Ebony told The Enquirer from jail. “I was not myself.” But who is she when she is herself? There is little question that what happened to her when she was very young helped to shape her. And despite having been surrounded her entire life by the system that was designed to help her – Job & Family Services, Developmental Disabilities Services, social workers, judges, police – none of it has seemed to take. At just 26, she has, by her own account, been diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar disorder and See SINGLEY, Page 2A

schizophrenia. She has reported to police a string of rapes perpetrated upon her. She has been sequestered from society for her mental health issues and she is now facing eight years in prison for something she hardly understands. In the past, court documents show she’s been deemed mentally incompetent to stand trial. Judges have addressed her mental health and ordered her to take medication. As recently as last year, she was living in a supervised environment. Recently, a judge ordered that she undergo testing to see if she is competent to stand trial. While Ebony’s circumstances may be unique, her mental illness is not. Neither is her current status inside a county jail. The U.S. Department of Justice released a study in 2006 showing that an estimated 75% of women in local jails had mental health problems. As she waits adjudication, questions remain: Did the system fail Ebony? In the beginning or at every turn? And is the system, as it currently operates, even remotely equipped to deal with people like her?

It’s hard to say what happened during the rest of Ebony’s childhood. Many of her records aren’t public due to their medical nature. Anything pertaining to her mental health treatment is protected by privacy laws. Court records do show Latoya and Ebony attended therapy together as children. Ebony says she felt poorly treated by her adoptive family, but her sister Latoya says that just isn’t true. “They took good care of us,” she said. “They are good people who took us in.” In 2009, when Ebony was 15, she assaulted a school offi cial, according to court records. She was charged with disorderly conduct the same year and found delinquent. “Ebony is ordered to take her medication as prescribed,” the magistrate wrote. “She has a number of mental health issues and is receiving a signifi cant amount of treatment and counseling.” Latoya, who has visited her sister in jail a number of times since the shooting, agrees: “My sister is severely mentally ill and (needs to) be to back in a safe environment.” Ebony said she eventually went to live with a teacher, but she says she was kicked out after she reported being raped during that time. There is no record of anyone being charged in the alleged crime. There is just Ebony’s allegation. Latoya says Ebony struggles with the truth and is easily manipulated. “I don’t know what to believe…I know she feels like the more attention or sympathy she gets the more she is loved,” Latoya said. In 2004, she was charged with assault after she allegedly kicked a nurse at Deaconess Hospital. The case was dismissed when she was found incompetent to stand trial. “I’ve been trying to fi nd the right medicine. The medicine they have been giving me does not work,” Ebony said from jail. “I’m seeing things, but I’m trying to ignore it and think of something else.” Sonja Dawson met Ebony about three years ago. They were in the same mental health treatment program. “They failed her,” Dawson said of multiple agencies that have come in contact with her. “The girl wants to be loved. She loves everyone,” Dawson said. “She’s not the thing these monsters want to make her out to be.” She also added that Ebony is “the type of person who, if you put it in her head, she’ll believe it.”

Early neglect Ebony’s mother, Vernice Robinson, gave birth to her in April 1993. Robinson was 22 and Ebony was her fi fth child in as many years. Within a month, records show, Robinson was having trouble getting her kids medical treatment and she struggled to keep an apartment. The Hamilton County Department of Human Services stepped in to try to help her but, by November, social workers had learned all fi ve children were being left alone at home. It’s not clear where Robinson was while they were alone. The mother of fi ve was convicted of child endangerment, but retained custody of her kids. Court records show Robinson was offered a variety of services and programs to help her, but she would often not make it to pre-arranged meetings and appointments. In September of 1995, “things were not going well,” according to notes kept in county documents. Further, Robinson had not enrolled her older children in school. Blood tests showed one child had high lead levels, but had not been to follow-up appointments with doctors. Another child was behind on her shots, and Robinson was seven months pregnant with her sixth child.

Again, the Department of Human Services ramped up their supervision of the family, but the children stayed with their mother. Then came the criminal investigation.

Early abuse In April 1996, Ebony had just turned 3 when her mother placed her in scalding water in a bathtub. “I peed on the fl oor and my mama got very mad at me so she threw me in the tub with hot, hot water and she burned me from my toes all the way up to my thighs,” Ebony told The Enquirer recently on a phone call from jail. It wasn’t until the next day someone called and reported the abuse. Department of Human Services workers went to Robinson’s home, but were told Ebony was at church. They eventually tracked the toddler down and rushed her to the hospital. Records show she suff ered burns over 16 percent of her body. The toddler would stay at Shriners Hospital for Children for more than three weeks. Her injuries required skin grafts. Doctors also discovered an old leg fracture “that was not attributed to abuse but, in retrospect, may well have been,” offi cials said. This time, Robinson was convicted of

felony child endangerment and sentenced to up to ﬁ ve years in prison. She was 25 years old and had seven children. Some of the kids went to live with paternal relatives. Ebony and her older sister, Latoya, were taken in by one of Robinson’s relatives. Which did nothing to end Ebony’s woes.

A chance Two years after the placement, the relative called the Department of Human Services and requested the girls be removed citing “their behaviors,” according to court records. The relative told a social worker she repeatedly had to pick up Ebony from school in the middle of the day for cursing at teachers or being deﬁ ant in class. This time, Ebony and Latoya were placed in a foster home. In 2000, there was a hearing about what would happen to Ebony and Latoya. Their mother was still incarcerated, but attended. At that time, no one knew the whereabouts of Ebony’s father. The result of the hearing: “No other relatives are available or willing to provide care for the girls.” However, social workers noted the girls were “thriving” in their foster home. That family ended up adopting

Someone who cared While much of Ebony’s record is private, it is clear that she was receiving services from the Department of Developmental Disabilities and living in a Lighthouse facility in late 2018. See SINGLEY, Page 5A

Judge keeps $5M bond for priest accused of rape

Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Hamilton County judge on Wednesday, Oct. 9 said bond for a priest accused of raping an altar boy 30 years ago will stay at $5 million. Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Leslie Ghiz said her primary concern is that the Rev. Geoff Drew is a fl ight risk. “Your client is charged with anally and orally raping a…child,” Ghiz told Drew’s attorney, Brandon Moermond. She added: “I’m more concerned about him fl eeing, than anything else.” Drew was not in the courtroom for the hearing. He is being held at the Hamilton County jail. In August, Moermond fi led a motion to modify Drew’s bond. Among his arguments was that Drew is a priest, has no criminal history, and has “extensive family in the area, including his ailing mother, his siblings and close family friends.” Moermond also said Drew’s case has been handled diff erently than others because of media coverage. In his motion, Moermond said Ghiz had set Drew’s $5 million bond at a hearing “in front of no less than six television reporters and cameras.” Ghiz rejected that argument. “Please don’t ever accuse this court of doing anything because cameras are involved,” she said. Drew, 57, has pleaded not guilty to nine counts of rape. Ghiz also pointed out that in Moermond’s motion, he mentioned that Drew had been investigated within the

last year in both Montgomery and Butler counties. Moermond mentioned those investigations to emphasize that authorities “found absolutely no criminal activity for which to charge him.” But Ghiz said she hadn’t been aware of allegations in other counties, which she said raised concern. The Hamilton County charges all involve accusations by a former altar boy, who was 10 years old when he said the alleged sexual assaults began in 1988. Drew’s accuser, now in his early 40s, told prosecutors it occurred after school hours in Drew’s oﬃ ce at St. Jude in Bridgetown. At the time, Drew worked for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati as a music minister at St. Jude and as a music teacher at Elder High School. He was not a priest then, but he entered the seminary in 1999 and was ordained a priest in 2004. Enquirer media partner Fox19 contributed to this report.

YOUR HEALTH with Dr. Owens

Man accused of sexually assaulting blind woman Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Tobacco 21: Change the age. Break the cycle. Tobacco use remains the single most preventable cause of disease, death and disability in our region, and presents a burden to our health care system and economy.

O’dell M. Owens, MD, MPH President & CEO

We’ve made progress on tobacco:The percentage of adults who smoke has declined by more than half in the last 50 years. But recent trends in youth tobacco use, including e-cigarettes, are cause for concern. About 1 in 5 kids in the U.S. report using e-cigarettes. Data from the Greater Cincinnati Adult Tobacco Survey show that a majority of adult smokers in our region began smoking before age 21.

A Westwood man accused of sexually assaulting a woman living in a home for the blind when he was night supervisor has had legal issues before. Joel Jordan, 50, was indicted in Hamilton County on two misdemeanor counts of sexual imposition for conduct at the Samuel W. Bell Home for Sightless in Green Township March 6. That was just three weeks after the expiration of a ﬁ ve-year civil stalking protection order issued by a Hamilton County judge against Jordan to protect Jordan’s former girlfriend. Another Hamilton County judge sentenced Jordan in 2016 to a year in prison for failing to pay child support. Jordan is no longer an employee of the Samuel W. Bell Home for Sightless, said its executive director, David Story. Story, who assumed the top position Sept. 1, declined comment now on how applicants for jobs at the home for the blind are screened. But, “The safety of our residents is of the utmost importance and we take any allegation very seriously,” Story said. An indictment returned against Jordan Oct. 3 includes two counts of sexual imposition because he is accused of having sexual contact with a woman at the home for the blind: ❚ “When he knew that (her) ability to appraise the nature of or control the defendant’s conduct was substantially impaired,” and ❚ “When he knew the sexual contact was oﬀ ensive to (her), or was reckless.” Warrants have been issued for Jordan’s arrest.

The woman’s story A Green Township police report says

the woman at the home for the blind told oﬃ cers that about 7:30 p.m. March 6, the residential night supervisor unnamed in the report commented on how skinny she was and said he should take measurements of her body. The woman told police she went to the supervisor’s room, where the supervisor told her to undress. The supervisor calculated her bra size by touching her breasts, the woman said, and she slapped his hand away when he tried to insert a ﬁ nger in her vagina to teach her how to masturbate. The woman said the supervisor then pulled her close and asked her if she had ever touched a penis. She then touched the supervisor’s penis with his pants down but his underwear on because she was curious, the woman said.

Jordan’s past Meanwhile, Hamilton County court records show Jordan was indicted in August 2013 on six counts of failure to pay child support for three children. He pleaded guilty to three counts — one for each child – in February 2014, and the other three counts were dismissed. Jordan was released on his own recognizance but failed to appear for sentencing in April 2014, court records state. Two years later he was back in court and given three 12-month prison terms to be served concurrently. In February 2014, a Westwood woman sought a civil stalking protection order in the Hamilton County courts against Jordan. In June 2014, a judge issued a ﬁ veyear order that expired in February 2019.

The young adult brain continues to develop up to age 25. If we can get people to age 21 without starting to use tobacco, chances are reduced that they develop the habit. Policies to raise the age of sale for tobacco to 21 can reduce youth use and prevent future tobacco-related disease and death. Such policies are being implemented throughout the country. In our region: • Ohio’s Tobacco 21 policy went into effect Oct. 17. Passed as part of Gov. DeWine’s 2019 budget, it prohibits the sale of tobacco products, products including e e-cigarettes, to youth. • Additional regulations in Cincin nnati, effective Dec. 1, will create a licensing and enforcem ment system for tobacco retailers, helping to ensure thatt tobacco products— including e-cigarettes—are no ot sold to youth. • Health advocates in Southw western Ohio, Northern Kentucky and Southeastern n Indiana continue to work toward policies to reduce youth tobacco use.

change to customers and later during her shift would remove the cash from the till and pocket the money. Godfrey is being charged with theft, a felony, and was scheduled to be seen in court on Oct. 15.

More than a misunderstanding

had a misunderstanding. Ebony said she thought Curtis was trying to get rid of the apartment she had helped Ebony procure. Curtis said she just wanted it placed in Ebony’s name. But the situation upset Ebony to the point where she called police. “I can’t deal with this,” she told the dispatcher standing in front of Curtis’ house armed with a kitchen knife. “I’m probably going to have nowhere to live. I’m about to kill myself.” Curtis’ mother, Wanda Davis, called police, too, after Ebony tried to break into the home. “Get in here. Hurry up,” Davis can be heard saying to the children in the 911 recording. “Get away from the door. She’s not going to kill us. I’m not going to let her get to you all.” Davis told police she was arming herself with a knife while Ebony pounded on the door. “Ebony, stop! You are scaring this kids!” Davis shouted. It was more than eight minutes before Davis spotted police outside her house. When oﬃ cers arrived, they started talking with Ebony and telling her to put the knife down. “So I turned around and tried to go back in the house and go jump oﬀ the roof,” Ebony told The Enquirer. “As I was doing that, Ms. Davis opened the door

and they told her not to. “That’s why they shot me.”

That’s where she met Victoria Curtis. Curtis was working as Ebony’s aide, cooking and cleaning and becoming friends. Then Ebony told Curtis she was raped again in late October or early November. “I stayed all day and night with her,” Curtis said. They went to the hospital and reported the incident. Curtis said the police and authorities dismissed Ebony’s claim. “I really felt for her,” Curtis said, assuming that Ebony had not been believed because of her history. “I was angry and upset.” Curtis said Ebony’s apartment through Lighthouse was expensive and Ebony was frustrated because her caretakers kept changing. Curtis wanted to help Ebony learn to live on her own. In January, Ebony moved in with Curtis, her two children and her mother in her mother’s East Price Hill home. Ebony’s sister, Latoya has a diﬀ erent take: “She didn’t like it there (at Lighthouse) because she had to follow their rules and keep up with her medication.”

money for her own apartment. Curtis co-signed the lease. Curtis believes Ebony only needed someone to believe in her. “You said you wanted your own place, I did that for you then you wanted to be independent and I’m showing you the way,” she wrote in a Facebook post. “Never let your past deﬁ ne you.” Then in late June or early July, Ebony said she met a man online and went to his house where he forced himself on her. Again, she reported it to police. The Cincinnati Police Department conﬁ rms these reports were made and said the investigations were closed because they were “unfounded.” The department has a policy of not releasing information about sex crimes. Curtis said Ebony believes she was dismissed again due to her history of mental illness. Ebony had been living again with Curtis’s family for only a short time before Curtis said Ebony tried to commit suicide in their kitchen. Curtis said Ebony was hospitalized but was released the next day. “I begged them not to let her out,” Curtis said explaining she needed more help.

She fears she has developed blood clots in her legs and has been denied medical attention. Her lawyer says she is getting treatment. Ebony says she’s confused by the charges. She admitted she had wanted to kill everyone in the house but does not understand how she can be charged if she hurt no one. Curtis talks to her frequently. She says she doesn’t regret anything she’s done for Ebony, but now says, her friend needs to be in a place where she’s supervised around the clock. She is still ﬁ ghting for Ebony and wants other to recognize that those who suﬀ er from mental illness need support. Curtis said it comes down to one rule: “You’ve got to treat people the way you want to be treated.” Ebony remains at the Hamilton County Justice Center where she’s being held on a $10,000 bond awaiting trial on felonious assault charges related the July incident.

She thanked everyone for coming and quoted Chapter 16 from the Book of Acts, which tells the story of Paul and Silas being released from prison and told they could leave on their own. She said she would have preferred to be released quietly, but prayed over that scripture. “Just as I was thrown in jail publicly for the entire world to see. I must walk about a jail public, but on my own two feet,” Hunter said. “Although certain men tried to destroy my spirit by throwing me in jail, it didn’t work. I am still strong. I am still here. I am still standing. I am still ready and committed to ﬁ ght for justice and equality.” She said she’s lost weight during her time in jail and has been in pain. She said moving forward, she will continue to ﬁ ght for her full exoneration. “I may not look pretty this morning, but I have just walked out of jail and jail is not pretty. It’s brutal, mentally, physically and spiritually,” she said. “Going to jail just gave me an opportunity to see the criminal justice system from the inside out…and to advocate for justice behind the prison walls for those who could not do it for themselves.”

was wrong to ask her to apologize for dividing the community and being dragged out of the courtroom. “I could not take responsibility for dividing a community that has always been divided,” she said. “Nor could I accept responsibility for a brutal act committed against me, not by me.” State Senator Cecil Thomas and Bishop Bobby Hilton were both on hand to help escort Hunter to a waiting vehicle. Bags full of books, which Hunter had inside the jail, were loaded in the trunk of the SUV. Thomas led the crowd in chants of “exonerate Judge Hunter now” and “no justice, no peace.” Hunter said she plans to release a letter written from the jail to anyone who agrees to print it in full.

Popp thanks veterans one ﬂ ight at a time About Popp

Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: This article is part of the Enquirer’s 2019 Women of the Year celebration, which honors women for making a diff erence in the community. Cheryl Popp had plenty of reasons in 2005 to join Honor Flight Tri-State, which organizes fl ights for veterans to visit memorials in Washington, D.C. Her beloved father was a World War II Army Air Corps veteran whom she felt deserved honor he refused to court. She loved her country but never served in the military. Her Catholic faith and her family of active volunteers encouraged her to help others. She was even a licensed private pilot. Some 72 fl ights and more than 6,500 participating veterans later, Popp is now the full-time volunteer director and chairman of the board of Honor Flight TriState. And she remains committed to the program because of how much it means to participating veterans and their families. “I sincerely hope that my work with Honor Flight can continue to help veterans fi nd a safe place to experience their memorials, maybe face their diffi culties from when they arrived home and no one cared and to be given their one more mission – a gift from a grateful nation,” Popp said. Honor Flight Tri-State is a nonprofi t organization with one mission: To take veterans over age 65, whether they served stateside or overseas, on a oneday trip to see their memorials in Washington, D.C. Fulfi lling that mission takes a lot of organization and fundraising. The veterans are charged nothing for the trip. Popp and her staff of volunteers give more than 40 speeches a year to drum up support for Honor Flight Tri-State, which also arranges for veterans returning from the nation’s capital to get a homecoming at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport with a welcoming crowd and letters of gratitude from the public to take home with them. Honor Flight Tri-State also presents three-hour “Flightless Honor Flight” programs at rest homes and other facilities for veterans who cannot travel. For veterans who can, they are in for an experience that Honor Flight Tri-State has down to a science.

What she says: What inspires you to give back and help others? “Being raised Catholic and being part of a family that always volunteered to help others whenever we could, inspired me. Also, my husband and I believe that God has given us much and we need to thank Him by doing good works and helping others.” What problem or need in the community would you like to see addressed? Giving veterans their due. “I think veterans have ﬁ nally found a new place in the public conscience and they are being honored, thanked and taken care of like never before.”

Who influenced or inspired you to care about others? “My father was a World War ll veteran and he would not talk about his service very much. He said after he came home, ‘That was another life, we did what our country needed us to do and now I have to take care of all of you kids and your mother.’ He was a great patriot and that was the start of the love I have for my country.”

“The program has evolved from one bus and a long trip to Dayton and Baltimore and a bus trip down to D.C. when funding was scarce,” Popp said. “We have built it up to four ﬂ ights a year and chartering an Airbus 321 going directly in Reagan National Airport. “We are at the Iwo Jima Memorial only eight minutes after we arrive with the help of the National Park Service motorcycle escorts. ... It is a fabulous tribute.” “Cheryl lives the mission of Honor Flight Tri-State and inspires others to do the same with her dedication, commitment, leadership, spirit and her huge heart,” said Scott Kuhr of Sharonville, a volunteer with Honor Flight Tri-State,

“The entire Cincinnati region is better for her contributions. Attitude and action refl ect leadership and there is nobody that leads the charge for our local veterans better than Cheryl Popp.” Popp says her husband, Tom, is a big supporter of her work. “Honor Flight is perfect for us,” she said. “It is a way to give back, a way to honor veterans and to make a diff erence in so many lives.” Honor Flight Tri-State will hold its annual “Stars & Stripes” fundraiser Nov. 23 at Lunken Airport in the East End.

IMPEACHMENT:

What local Congress members say — or don’t say — about Trump’s refusal to cooperate Hannah K. Sparling and Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

President Donald Trump drew a line in the sand Tuesday, Oct. 8 when he told House Democrats he will not cooperate in their impeachment inquiry. The Enquirer reached out to local representatives to learn where they stand on the matter. We asked each the same two questions: 1 Yes or no, do you support the White House’s decision to not cooperate with the impeachment inquiry? 2 Why or why not? Here’s what they said:

Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown The Democrat from Cleveland is against the White House’s decision. “Hardworking people in Ohio don’t get to pick and choose which laws they get to follow and neither does the PresiBrown dent. No one is above the law,” Brown said in a statement. “We know the President tried to get a foreign government to undermine American democracy. We have a responsibility to ﬁ nd out exactly what happened.”

Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Troy Davidson did not directly answer the questions but issued a statement indicating he doesn’t believe the impeachment inquiry is legitimate. “While Congress has the power to begin an imDavidson peachment inquiry, Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi and Rep. Adam Schiff do not,” the statement reads. “The power belongs to the American people – not to partisan activists acting on their own initiative, and not without authorization refl ected in a vote on the fl oor of the people’s House. The President deserves due process like everyone else.”

Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell A spokesman for the Senate Majority Leader did not address the questions but instead referred The Enquirer to a pair of tweets McConnell sent Tuesday night, calling into question the legitimacy of the inquiry. McConnell has supMcConnell ported the president throughout the process, saying that as long as he is in charge of the Senate, any impeachment inquiry will fail.

Ohio Sen. Rob Portman Portman, a Republican from Terrace Park, has said it was “not appropriate” for Trump to ask Ukraine and China to investigate former vice President Joe Biden. When it comes to impeachment, however, Portman Portman has said Democrats are rushing the process. The Senator did not directly answer The Enquirer’s questions on Wednesday but issued a statement siding with the White House on its letter telling Democrats the administration will not cooperate with the impeachment inquiry. “We are just four months away from the start of voting in presidential primaries,” reads the statement from spokeswoman Emily Benavides. “Rob hopes that the House Democrats will address some of the concerns that are outlined in the letter and work to get their questions answered through normal oversight rather than a divisive and partisan impeachment process.”

A Cleves man is being held on a $100,000 bond after police said he engaged in sexual conduct with a 15-yearold. Herbert Merz, 42, was arrested Oct. 1 on rape charges, according to court rec-

don’t forget about dental coverage.

Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Westwood Chabot served as an impeachment manager - similar to a prosecutor - in the Senate trial of then-President Clinton. “Every previous presidential impeachment inquiry in our nation’s hisChabot tory has included a full vote of the people’s representatives to approve the investigation. Until now,” he said. “This inquiry was launched in a press conference held by Speaker Pelosi, before she knew the facts, because the transcript of the phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky had not yet been released.

Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R-Cincinnati Wenstrup, in a statement, defended the White House’s letter and criticized the Democrats. “This letter speaks to the concerns of many Americans as they witness House Democrats hurl themselves headWenstrup long into an erratic impeachment inquiry, ignoring both historical precedent and due process protections,” Wenstrup said in the statement. “The refusal to even vote on an impeachment inquiry exposes the faulty foundations on which Democrats ﬁ nd themselves. Democrats’ failure to follow process sidesteps democracy in partisan fashion with one-sided subpoenas, and no vote to ensure the voices of people are heard through their representatives.

Make layered southwestern cornbread salad for Halloween buff et I had forgotten about this salad until I enjoyed it at a recent party. Made by friend Denise Kelley, that salad looked like it came from a food magazine. So attractive that I wouldn’t let anyone dig in until I took a photo! Thinking a bit ahead, this is a yummy, do-ahead, fi lling side salad for a Halloween buff et. Make it an appetizer by layering in a casserole. Scoop with black and orange tortilla chips. Or use a trifl e or glass bowl for a side salad. Depending on size, you’ll get thick, or thin layers. Dig deep for every layer of deliciousness!

This year, my jumbo jalapeno peppers grew amazingly well. I’m still harvesting them, along with Serranos. So my goal is to make my annual batches of candied jalapeno peppers. But before I do that, some of those jalapenos will go into a layered southwestern cornbread salad for a family gathering. With a deﬁ nite Tex-Mex ﬂ avor, it’s the new generation cornbread salad.

Viewpoints LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Will the Brown family listen to empty seats? Being a Bengals fan is something I can’t control. It’s in my blood.Try as I might to divorce myself from caring about their successes and failures, I will never stop rooting for this team. Years of frustration and mismanagement, however, led me to the decision in 2015 to no longer give this organization any more of my money. No tickets, no merchandise, no concessions, nothing. I would argue that the mismanagement has been worse in recent years, so I am writing to off er up a plea to the rest of Bengals nation to join me in sending a fi nancial message to the organization. Let me make something clear – I am not a Brown-family-basher. I think they honestly try their best to provide winning football here in Cincinnati. They’ve made positive eff orts to retain good players such as A.J. Green, Carlos Dunlap, Geno Atkins, Tyler Boyd and several others. They have also made what are nothing short of incompetent decisions in recent history, retaining of the likes of Adam Jones, Vontaze Burfi ct, Bobby Hart and several others, while letting guys like Andrew Whitworth walk in free agency because they didn’t think he was any good anymore. The lack of success speaks to their mismanagement of the franchise a lot more eloquently than I ever could. The Brown family listens to empty seats. They listened to empty seats last year when they brought in a new coaching staff . However, Zac Taylor will be resigned to failure until there are more substantive changes within the organization. We, as a fan base, have the power to initiate those changes, but we need to be crystal clear about our expectations. I suggest we start with the following demands: ❚ Sign a proven, experienced general manager ❚ Signifi cantly expand the organization’s scouting capacity ❚ Invest in forward-thinking strategies, such as a robust football analytics department This is not asking much of the organization. We must simply demand that they catch up with the rest of the NFL so that our hard-earned money does not go toward mediocrity, embarrassment and abject failure anymore. We as consumers vote with our dollars. I will never pass judgment on someone for however they choose to spend their money, but we as fans hold the power to initiate real change within the organization. Some may say, “Well what if they move the team?” To that I

say, “Let em.” Do you honestly think that someone wouldn’t jump at the chance to own a football franchise here in this town? And if they refuse to change, wouldn’t we all be better for them having left and starting anew? Who Dey. Adam Erskine, Westwood Are Bengals really worth the cost to taxpayers? The editorial on the latest “Bungled” stadium deal made me remember how we got to this point. I had noted that while some of The Enquirer articles referred to the original deal as “the worst stadium deal ever,” none of them actually spelled out how bad it was. For those who were not here when the original deal was written (by a council member who now works for the Bengals),

there were two stadiums built at the same time. The Reds stadium (Great American Ball Park) cost $284 million and is used 82 times a year. The other (Paul Brown Stadium) cost $450 million and is used for 10 games a year. Originally, the football stadium was designed to be able to be used for soccer as well (Gee, we would not have needed the FC Cincinnati stadium.) However, by some mishap, the piers were put where it prevented realignment for a soccer ﬁ eld. Not only that, but all of a sudden, there were two practice ﬁ elds. Now, I read that the stadium – note again, used for 10 games a year – needs “upgrades” to the value of $250 million. Think about this: since the lease expires in 2026, that equates to 75 home games, which works out to be $3.3 million per

PX columnist Jason Williams suggested that the question should be put before the voters: Do you want to keep paying out large amounts of taxes to keep a team that does not have a winning record and will only keep demanding more? This is a good place to mention the latest demand – an indoor practice ﬁ eld. Seriously, I always thought the expression was “practice makes perfect” but that has been “Bungled” as well. If the team is worth the reported $2 billion suggested, maybe they could invest some of that in the community. Or has he said just take the money and run? Oh, another thing they are not good at.

Sports GCL-South’s top rusher is Elder quarterback Luebbe Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Oct. 9. PRICE HILL - In recent memory, no quarterback has ever led the Greater Catholic League-South in rushing. With performances like a recent 236yard eff ort against St. Xavier, Elder’s Matthew Luebbe could change that and fi nish on top. At 5-foot-11 and 185 pounds, Luebbe has Panther toughness and an extra gear that leaves little doubt when he bursts into the secondary. Elder coach Doug Ramsey can usually bank on a score when Luebbe gets loose. “I’ve seen it too many times this season where he gets it to the secondary and it’s really hard for people to run him down,” Ramsey said. You also have to go back to 2013 to fi nd the last Elder Panther to lead the league when Chris Schroer rushed for 917 yards (regular season). With 649 yards and four games remaining, Luebbe must average around 88 yards to fi nish at 1,000 for the season. The last GCL-South player to run for 1,000 in the regular season was La Salle’s Jeremy Larkin, who did it in 2014 and 2015. Luebbe is just 50 yards from what 2018 leader Chrystopher Watkins of Moeller posted and 40 from what La Salle’s Cam Porter accumulated in 2017. He’s already surpassed the total of 2016 leader Colin Thurman of Moeller (596). “Matthew Luebbe is good,” St. Xavier coach Steve Specht said after their game with Elder. “They beat us with what we said all week long they couldn’t beat us with. Elder’s off ense is really good.” One of the reasons for Luebbe’s success is familiarity. Ramsey has recently tried to have the “quarterback of the future” on the fi eld in some capacity before they are offi cially handed the keys to the Elder off ense. As a junior behind Michael Bittner

(now at Tennessee), Luebbe ran for 310 yards, caught 19 passes for 226 and was 6-for-10 passing for 129 yards when

Bittner would take a seat. Bittner ﬁ nished as the GCL-South’s top passer last season with 2,235 yards and 496 rush-

ing yards. Just two years ago, Bittner was sharing time with Danny Nieman. As a junior and sophomore, he also carried the ball when not behind center. Likewise, sophomore Drew Ramsey is getting his turns with the ball as he has 202 yards rushing and 18 catches for 249 yards. He added what turned out to be the decisive score in the St. Xavier game with a 45-yard jaunt after Luebbe had scored on trots of 65, 5 and 83 yards. “We were trying to run clock and those types of things,” Doug Ramsey said. “We had a couple plays in this week for him to run. We called it ‘extra’ because we had an extra blocker. We blocked really well up front and he got in the secondary. He can run pretty well, too.” Accompanying next year’s quarterback was Luebbe. “I was on a jet motion, on the left sideline,” Luebbe said. “I just stopped See LUEBBE, Page 2B

Play on the ﬁ eld, attitude oﬀ it have endeared Kuechly to Panthers fans The Associated Press

Carolina Panthers middle linebacker Luke Kuechly gives a signal against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Bank of America Stadium. JEREMY BREVARD/USA TODAY SPORTS

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carolina linebacker Luke Kuechly easily could have had an interception to add to his personal stats. Gardner Minshew’s heave toward the end zone on the game’s fi nal play on a recent Sunday was fl oating harmlessly through the air toward the fi ve-time All-Pro linebacker, who had no one around him and 20 yards of daylight ahead. Intercepting the pass surely would have put an exclamation point on a hard-fought victory. Instead, Kuechly swatted the ball to the turf with both hands to seal Carolina’s 34-27 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was vintage Kuechly.

“He knew the most important thing was winning the football game and not about personal stats,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. “That right there to me just epitomizes him as a football player and as a person — that he does the right thing.” There is a saying that players use in the Carolina locker room: “Well, that’s just Luke.” The phrase encompasses any number of things – how Kuechly handles himself oﬀ the ﬁ eld, how he holds everyone to a higher standard through his work ethic, his dedication to pre-game preparation and his relentlessness in getting to the ball carrier on game day. In his seven-plus NFL seasons the St. Xavier High School grad has been to six Pro Bowls and been named the

league’s defensive player of the year. This past week he became the fastest player in NFL history to reach 1,000 career tackles passing Brian Urlacher. It’s impressive, but stats don’t matter to Kuechly, wins do. “I just want to win,” Kuechly said. “I think that is what it comes down to. Winning is more fun than any personal stat achievement. I’d rather have a game where I have two tackles and win than a whole bunch and we lose.” Kuechly has become known for his ability to call out an opponent’s play before it is run because he recognizes the formation. It’s a trait that has driven opposing coaches and quarterbacks nuts for years. See KUECHLY, Page 2B

Panthers tight end Greg Olsen sees it every day in practice. Olsen said there aren’t a lot of players in the league like Kuechly, whose instincts and football awareness and IQ are “probably the best I’ve ever been around” in 13 NFL seasons. “He wins so many plays before the ball is even snapped and the off ense doesn’t even have a prayer to block him,” Olsen said. Jaguars coach Doug Marrone said he loves watching Kuechly play on fi lm but hates playing against him. “He’s sharp, smart, reads, diagnoses,” Marrone said. “I don’t know what he doesn’t do well, honestly. I mean, he’s just an outstanding football player.” As good as he is as a football player, teammates say he’s an even better person off the fi eld. Panthers safety Tre Boston said if he had a daughter, he’d want her to date Kuechly. He called Kuechly “egoless” and said his character is second to none. “Did you know when you’re drafted, the fi rst person you meet here at the stadium is Luke?” Boston said. “He says, ‘Hello, how are you doing?’ That says a lot about a man’s character. When you have a person like in that your locker room, an egoless captain, it is hard for guys to be full of themselves.” His play on the fi eld and his attitude off of it have endeared Kuechly to Panthers fans. His No. 59 jersey regularly outnumbers any of his teammates in the crowd on a weekly basis at home games — and many times it’s not even close.

for 377 yards and two scores against defending Division I state champion Lakewood St. Edward. Against Ryle, he was a perfect 10-for-10 for 174 yards and four touchdowns. Luebbe also knows where his bread is buttered and credits the highly-acclaimed Elder line, which includes Division I recruits Jakob James (Ohio State) and Luke Kandra (Louisville) as well as tight end Joe Royer (Ohio State). “All credit to them; there’s no holes without them,” Luebbe said. “I’m not running for many without them. It’s a team eﬀ ort and without them, we wouldn’t be anywhere.”

“Matthew Luebbe is good. They beat us with what we said all week long they couldn’t beat us with. Elder’s offense is really good.” St. Xavier coach Steve Specht

The St. Xavier game was his second 200-plus yard game as he started the season with 241 against Gahanna Lincoln. Through the air, he was 37-for-45

The future of Delhi Township – let's have a conversation Delhi Township has purchased the former Remke site in order to create a vibrant development that will enhance the lifestyles of our current population and ensure a bright future for our next generation. “One of the priorities of the Board of Trustees as the owners of the property is to create a development that will meet the needs and wants of our residents,” stated Board President Cheryl Sieve. By taking ownership of the site – which was identiﬁ ed as a catalytic property in the Plan the Pike Strategic Redevelopment Plan – the Township will encourage the kind of development that best serves our community and markets our vibrant future to the region. Driven by input from residents and advice from development experts, the Plan the Pike document, adopted by the Board of Trustees in 2015, oﬀ ers a compelling new concept for the heart of the business district. “Taking ownership of the property puts us in the best position to turn this vision into a reality,” said Trustee Mike Davis. While we have a core plan for the property – a mixed use that integrates community amenities and residential components that will serve our evolving demographics, including an opportunity to address Township administrative

needs – we need to engage our residents to make sure they are truly inspired by the project’s details. Trustee Rose Stertz noted, “We have come up with some great development ideas and want to know how our community members feel about them, but we also want to hear their ideas and collectively decide upon the best way to continue to push Delhi Pike in the right direction.” Township leaders are hosting two community sessions where neighbors can come together to discuss how we can build our future together. We have hired

a professional facilitator to ensure that all voices will be heard, valued and fairly considered. Please join us at the Delhi Park Lodge (5125 Foley Road, Cincinnati, OH 45233) at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 28 or Tuesday, Oct. 29, to have a conversation on planning Delhi’s future!

The play centers around writer Charles Condomine and his second wife, Ruth. Charles has invited a local medium to join them and their guests for dinner and a séance so that he can gather information for a novel he is writing about a clairvoyant. The medium, Madame Arcati seems a little inept at ﬁ rst, but does contact “the other side” and a spirit does appear. It’s the ghost of Charles’ ﬁ rst wife, Elvira. She’s not happy Charles has remarried and has a plan to do something about it. The results of her meddling are a surprise to all. Veteran director Gina Kleesattel is making her Drama Workshop debut with this production which stars Lon Nease and Elizabeth Beatty as Charles and Ruth Condomine. Betsy Bossart plays Elvira and Tory Pate plays Madame Arcati. Joe Ward and Rusty Lacy play Dr. and Mrs. Bradman, friends of the Condomines, and Lindsey Pullum rounds out the cast in the role of Edith, the Condomine’s new maid. Kleesattel is excited about directing this play which she feels “is just as amusing to audiences now as it was two decades ago. Noel Coward’s wit and comic sophistication never goes out of style. And who doesn’t enjoy seeing people (or a ghost!) get tripped up in their own schemes? It’s a great evening of entertainment.” The production team for Blithe Spirit is led by producers Megan Schultheis

One Stop to give people immediate help Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Austin Cicchinelli suff ered from depression and addiction and swung from hopeful to despairing in a relentless cycle, his mother says. Amanda Cicchinelli tried desperately to get her son help every time he reached out. “It was a never-ending cycle of walls and barriers,” she said two years ago – just months after Austin died from a heroin and fentanyl overdose. He was 21. The struggle to get help quickly is familiar to families of people with addiction. And it can be frustrating, too, to those who head agencies that help vulnerable people like Austin. Now, some of them plan to do something about it. The Hamilton County Offi ce of Reentry, which bolsters inmates’ chances to stay out of jail after they’re released, is leading an eff ort to create a monthly resource center for people who must navigate the web-like system of service agencies just to get back on their feet. The One Stop center, expected to start late in September at the Hamilton County Justice Center, will provide at least a dozen services on-the-spot once a month for people with addiction or mental health issues, those leaving jail, the homeless and others, said Trina Jackson, director of the reentry offi ce. It’s supported by the Hamilton County Heroin Coalition and agencies that provide help across the county. One Stop might alternate locations, though it’s expected to start at the Hamilton County Justice Center, likely in September. Once there, people will be able to access needle exchange, mental health or addiction services, work out small probation issues, clear up a childsupport issue, maybe get clothes or a bus pass or a bite to eat during yet-to-be-announced hours, and more. “We’re asking providers to provide a

service when that person is in front of them,” Jackson said. “Clear them ‘today.’ “ Amanda Cicchinelli said the concept sounds promising. “I love that idea,” she said. “My biggest issue is defi ning what that really means. I hate the whole pass-off thing. If you’re going to do it, you have to do it right.” She has experience with the struggle to get help, beyond her attempts to help her own son. After Austin died, Cicchinelli became an addiction counselor. And, with her nonprofi t Austin’s Hope, she helps people in recovery get past bureaucratic obstacles. That’s what One Stop is designed to do, said Newtown Police Chief Tom Synan, a coordinator with the Hamilton County Heroin Coalition. “We want to reduce the barriers,” he

said. “As much as possible, on-the-spot.” Jackson said that speed of service is essential, because vulnerable people often have to clear up situations that went awry when they were using drugs or mentally unstable or in jail. And the way services are usually set up, it takes transportation, time and a lot of locations to accomplish even one task. “We want it to be now. You have a child support issue? We can mitigate that right now,” Jackson said. “Not like a job fair.” Sheriﬀ Jim Neil has agreed to provide space in the justice center for the operation, Jackson said, and key advocates have raised their hands to join. Among them are Talbert House, the Department of Job and Family Services, Society of St. Vincent DePaul, the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Aﬀ airs, Caracole Inc., Hamilton County Public Health and the

Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. The concept isn’t untried. Hamilton County is modifying a similar Franklin County program called First Step, led in part by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections. “Coming home from prison or jail? On probation or parole? Or are you just looking for a new beginning?” First Step social media says. “Start out on the right foot!” The Columbus-based program off ers help from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Job and Family Services and Child Support offi ces, Legal Aid Society of Columbus and more to those who come during a four-hour period once a month to the Ohio Means Jobs offi ce. Amanda Cicchinelli remembers how fragile her son was whenever he was in early recovery. “When he was not doing drugs he suff ered a lot,” Cicchinelli she said. “It’s really hard when they’re saying, ‘I need help’ and ‘it’s an emergency’ because it is.” The last time Austin was in recovery, his success started with the anti-opioid addiction medication Suboxone, the brand for buprenorphine. But after a while, he stopped taking it. He’d gotten past some big obstacles, his mom said. He had a driver’s license. He had a job. Even so, she said, “He was extraordinarily depressed.” Austin once wrote in a journal, “I wish I could build a time machine and stop myself from all of the choices. I would show myself the things I was too naive and blind to see. I would stop myself from ever even buying my fi rst bag of weed.” Another time, he wrote, “I’m one shot away from being another T-shirt.” Then one day, several months later, Austin went to his grandmother’s home, also in Loveland, and while there he used one more time. He died that day, June 26, 2017.

Scouts to plant hundreds of trees on Camp Conservation Day On Saturday, Nov. 9, over 350 Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, leaders, parents, siblings, college students and environmental groups will come together to plant native trees and shrubs at Camp Friedlander in Clermont County. Camp Friedlander is celebrating 100 years of serving Scouts in the region, but like most natural areas in the Cincinnati region, it has been devastated by the Emerald Ash Borer. The Dan Beard Council, which represents this 9-county region of southeast Ohio and northern Kentucky, has been conducting Camp Conservation Day for 15 years. Participation in this event grows each year, which beneﬁ ts the 500 acre property. The goal for the camp is to provide a quality outdoor experience for the youth of Greater Cincinnati, just minutes from downtown. At Camp Conservation Day, Scouts as young as 6 years of age are taught how to plant trees, identify honeysuckle and learn the fundamentals of ecology and forest management. The Scouts also take their newly learned skills home where they perform these same activities in the yards, schools, churches and neighborhoods in their community. Camp Conservation Day is often the Scouts ﬁ rst hands-on introduction to biology. During the event, there are

demonstrations and mentoring by trained biologists, many of them Scout leaders who also started their introduction to biology in Scouting. The Dan Beard Council, Boy Scouts of America is happy to welcome the Duke Energy Foundation as a Camp Conservation Day sponsor. The Duke Energy Foundation has been supporting this event for the past two years because it combines the reforesting of the region with youth education and public outreach. Duke Energy employees volunteer with the planting. Additionally, private donors and the Silver Beaver Alumni Association, a group of recognized Scout leaders, contribute to match the Duke Energy Foundation’s grant. Everyone in the community is invited to participate in Camp Conservation Day upon registration. For details and to register, please visit: www.danbeard.org/camp-conservation-days Submitted

The End of Adult Diapers is Near as New Pill Slashes Pad Use In just weeks, study participants were amazed to report a jaw dropping decrease in diaper use. Pharmacies may now consider carrying it in lieu of adult diapers. By Dr. Stephen Klayman, DC US− As researchers, when running new clinical trials, we never know what to expect. Most of the time they are complete failures, forcing us back to the drawing board. But in very rare cases, results far exceed our expectations and these product work better than we could have ever imagined. This is the case with the most recent breakthrough in Urology called Urivarx, a new bladder control pill which has performed extraordinary in every test. From dramatic reductions in urgency and frequency… dribbling and leaking… nighttime bathroom trips… and even diaper use…the improvements men and women are seeing with this nonprescription pill have been phenomenal. So phenomenal, in fact, it’s been rumored that the new capsule may soon replace diapers in pharmacies across the country. Why so effective? We asked its developers that same question.

STRENGTHENS THE BLADDER MUSCLES & PREVENTS THEM FROM RELEASING

Until now, many within the medical community − including myself − believed it was impossible to strengthen the muscles that control the bladder without drugs, surgery, or exercises. Remarkably, it has now been proven this can be achieved with a tiny a pill. Albeit, a natural one. The secret? A revolutionary discovery that helps the bladder create a tighter seal...while also preventing your bladder from releasing involuntarily. Research shows that as we age, the muscles surrounding the bladder can deteriorate. This is triggered by hormonal changes in the body which results in muscle atrophy, the medical term for muscle shrinking. When these muscles get too small and weak, they cannot seal the bladder shut. That’s why you may leak, dribble, and experience uncontrollable accidents. Worse, because the bladder fails to empty completely, you feel like you need to go all the time! And as old urine just sits there, it can seep into your blood stream, causing painful infections which need multiple rounds of antibiotics to get rid of.

“URIVARX TARGETS A FAILING BLADDER IN A WHOLE NEW WAY”

In its most recent clinical trial, scientists discovered a trio of science based compounds that actually strengthen the tiny muscles surrounding the bladder. So effectively that they were shown to decrease adult diaper use by a staggering 400%. Even more surprising, these three compounds also had a rejuvenating effect on the bladder, allowing it to work like it was years younger. The result? All the worries you have about your overactive bladder can finally be put to rest! And you can enjoy a new level of comfort of confidence that you once had before. And it starts happening in minutes.

Could a Pill Really Replace Adult Diapers? Researchers Seem to Think So. A recent study found that the new pill, Urivarx, led to a significant decrease in diaper and pad use. IMPRESSIVE CLINICAL RESULTS

The exciting clinical results published on the government clinical website clinicaltrials.gov show that UriVarx™ can strengthen your bladder fast, significantly reducing the urine urgency and leaks. In a new double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, 142 men and women with bladder control issues were separated into two groups. The first group was given a placebo while the other received UriVarx™. The results were incredible. The participants who received UriVarx™ saw major improvements in leaking, pressure, and the urgency to go − all without the usual side effects seen in prescription drugs! They also reported fewer trips to the bathroom both day and night.

• • • • •

Overall, the UriVarx™ group experienced: 56% Reduction in Urge Incontinence 66% Reduction in Stress Incontinence 61% Reduction in Urgency 33% Reduction in Frequency 46% Reduction in Nighttime Bathroom Trips

Additionally, at the end of clinical trial and after seeing the results, 84% of the participants taking UriVarx™ said it significantly improved their quality of life. “The clinical findings are incredible, but people still wonder if it will really work” explains lead developer for Urivarx. “It’s normal to be skeptical, but we’ve seen thousands of UriVarx™ users get results exactly like the participants in the study. It’s an amazing product.”

EXCITING RESULTS FROM URIVARX USERS

Many UriVarx™ users say their bladders have never been stronger. For the first time in years, they are confident and in complete control. Adult pads and diapers are no longer a big worry. “It’s exciting to hear all of the positive feedback” explains a spokesperson for the company. “Its also helps to gain perspective. These people will share how embarrassed

they’ve become over the situation.Howuncomfortable it makes social outings and the interruptions it causes in daily life. They can’t believe the change Urivarx has made. The fear is gone. They are back to feeling in control”

HOW IT WORKS

UriVarx™ is a pill that’s taken just once daily. It does not require a prescription. The active ingredients are patented natural extracts. Research shows that as we get older, the muscles which surround the bladder weaken. This is caused by hormonal changes in the body that causes the muscles to atrophy and weaken. When they become too small and weak, they cannot seal your bladder shut, which causes leaking, accidents, among other incontinence symptoms. It also prevents your bladder from fully emptying, which can result in persistent bacterial infections and UTIs. UriVarx’s™ active ingredient targets the muscles around the bladder, making them stronger. Supporting ingredients in UriVarx™ support kidney function and overall urinary health.

BLADDER PROBLEMS GONE

With daily use, UriVarx™ can restore strong bladder control and help users overcome leakage without the negative side effects or interactions associated with drugs. Leakage sufferers can now put an end to the uncontrollable urges, the embarrassing accidents, and enjoy an entirely new level of comfort and confidence.

HOW TO GET URIVARX IN OHIO

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

ANSWERS ON PAGE 6B

No. 1013 INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGS

BY HOWARD BARKIN AND VICTOR BAROCAS / EDITED BY WILL SHORTZ Howard Barkin is a software quality-assurance specialist — and an ace crossword solver — from Hillsborough, N.J. He won the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament in 2016 and is a perennial top-10 finisher. Victor Barocas, who also competes, is a professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Minnesota. The men became acquainted through the tournament when their last names appeared alphabetically adjacent in the results. The idea for this puzzle was Howard’s. They worked back and forth by email to make it. — W.S.
