An Oasis of Hope

Old Queensgate Jail to be day center for homeless named after Todd Portune Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer

M USA TODAY NETWORK

aslow’s Army signed a lease Dec. 2 to turn the old Queensgate Jail into a day center for the homeless. The center will be called the “The Maslow’s Army Todd B. Portune Memorial Winter DayCenter,” the Cincinnati nonproﬁ t said in a news release. The release said the center at 516 Linn St. is the ﬁ rst of its kind in Ohio and was named for the late Hamilton County commissioner “because of his very close relationship with Maslow’s Army and his deep and committed work to humanity.” Brian Garry, chief advisor for Maslow’s Army, said in an email that the organization will pay Queensgate Holdings, LLC, a monthly rent of $12,000 for use of the center. The center will open to the homeless on Tuesday, Dec. 15, Garry said, and can accommodate up to 350 people with social distancing and personal protective equipment necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Samuel Adams Landis, executive director and co-founder of Maslow's Army, talks about what he hopes will become the computer room in their new leased space in the old Queensgate Correctional Facility.

The release from Maslow’s Army says the center has been years in the making. “During Executive Director/Co-Founder Samuel Landis’s 20-plus years living on the streets of Cincinnati, he always dreamed of a gathering place of camaraderie for him and his friends to escape the harsh realities of homelessness. He yearned for a place of belonging where he could grow into the man See HOMELESS, Page 2A

Like any other teenager living through a pandemic, Katelyn Evans, 16, knows the drill: Mask up before leaving home, stay at least 6 feet apart from friends, wash hands a lot, take your temperature frequently. She and her mom keep a close eye on whether she gets even the slightest of symptoms of COVID-19. The answer has been no, no, no. Day after day. What’s diff erent from most teens about Katelyn’s COVID-19 watch is that she is taking part in a two-year, Pfi zer COVID-19 vaccine trial at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Kateyln was the fi rst adolescent to be injected, on Oct. 14, with either the vaccine or a placebo in the local trial that the FDA approved for kids just two days before. “They need to do this sort of thing on teenagers,” she said from her Green Township home. “I thought it would be a way to be helpful.” Katelyn, her brother, Andrew, and their mom, Laurie Evans, decided to sign up for the trials at Cincinnati Children’s in May, just after Cincinnati Children’s started its COVID-19 vaccine trial for adults. Andrew is 20, and he’d heard about it fi rst, his sister said. But only Katelyn was asked to take part, and not until October, as part of the kids’ study. The team at Cincinnati Children’s has been “very upfront” about every aspect of the trial and every safety risk, said Laurie Evans. “They explained it really well to us ahead of time,” Evans said. They explained it again when they got to the hospital. The risks are minimal, Evans said. And Katelyn has 24-7 access to medical professionals if she or her mom have any questions about her health “We knew we would be well supported if anything did come up,” her mother said.

‘The worst part of it was giving blood’ Those who take part in any vaccine trial are closely monitored, said Dr. Robert Frenck, principal investigator of the National Institutes of Healthsponsored Vaccine Treatment and Evaluation Unit and director of the Gamble Vaccine Research Center. He’s leading the COVID-19 vaccine trials at Cincinnati Children’s. See VACCINE, Page 3A

Concertina wire can still be seen along the fencing surround the old Queensgate Correctional Facility will become Maslow's Army Todd B. Portune Memorial Winter Day-Care. It will open Dec. 15, using 20,000 square feet of the 140,000 square foot building.

Garry said in his email that Maslow’s Army staff at the center will be certifi ed peer support and/or navigational specialists who will work with mental health and recovery centers to help the homeless take advantage of educational services, put

individuals gives my life purpose and meaning,” co-founder Landis said in the Maslow’s Army release. “This would not have been possible without our wonderful board, staff , volunteers, and contributors.” The pandemic has made it even more diffi cult for the homeless to fi nd shelter, Susan Landis, board chair of Maslow’s

Army, said in the release. “There are so many individuals out there experiencing homelessness who have no place to go, period. They often have diﬃ culties during the day struggling to seek warmth and will go in stores and libraries just to get a brief moment of warmth before being back out in the cold,” Susan Landis said. “Due to Covid-19 restrictions, a lot of these

temporary reprieves are closed. This day center will ﬁ ll in the gaps in ser-

vices for those in need during the daytime hours.”

Brent Spence Bridge on track to reopen Dec. 23 Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A lot has gone wrong in 2020, but here’s some good news: The Brent Spence Bridge is still on track to reopen before Christmas. Dec. 2 marked 21 days since the crash and ﬁ re that closed the bridge and 21 days from the expected reopening date, Dec. 23.

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Secretary Jim Gray said Dec. 2 that the state is on track to hit that Dec. 23 goal. “We are literally working around the clock,” Gray said. Kokosing Construction Co. is handling the repairs on the bridge, which include replacing some steel beams as well as a section of concrete on the upper deck. The ﬁ nal repair cost is not known, but the federal government authorized

up to $12 million in emergency repair money for the bridge.Kentucky is also pursuing the option of collecting payment from the insurance companies of the trucks involved in the crash. For more information on the repair project, go online to brentspencerepair.com. Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – Dec. 2. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates.

Vaccine Continued from Page 1A

“For the week after vaccination we have everyone keep a diary of any symptoms they are experiencing,” Frenck said. For the COVID-19 vaccine trials, he said, “We also give everyone a list of symptoms that may be associated with COVID. If a participant were to have any of those symptoms, we ask that they contact us so we can talk with them and determine if we need to test them for COVID.” Katelyn has clicked no to every symptom on an app that delivers information to the trial team. No fever, no redness at the injection sites (she’s been through the second of two injections), nothing, she said. “The worst part of it was giving blood.” That’s a prerequisite,

to help doctors ensure that prospective participants are OK to take part. Even before the FDA approved the trial, Frenck was a proponent of expanding the COVID-19 vaccine trial to include children, both to protect kids from the virus and to help protect others. Children are less susceptible to hospitalization for COVID-19, but they still get it, he argued. Also, they may have it without knowing, because some are asymptomatic – and a risk for others. “My concern is that children will spread the infection to ... parents, grandparents, school teachers, coaches because the children won’t know they have COVID,” Frenck said. “So, by immunizing and preventing infection in the children, we can have a huge indirect eﬀ ect if the children don’t spread (it) to others,” he told The Enquirer in October. Frenck said he thinks it is likely that

Cincinnati Children’s will look at who received placebos should the government approve public use of the vaccines being studied and ﬁ nd a way to give them the vaccine. “These people stepped forward. They helped us be able to get the answers. Without their participation, we never could have done the clinical trials.”

Celebrity status Laurie Evans, a grade school teacher, said her kids and she applied for the trials as a way to do whatever they could to assist in curbing the pandemic’s spread. “We don’t feel like this is heroic,” she said. “It’s just something that people like us can do that really didn’t take a whole lot of time or eﬀ ort on our part.” Katelyn said she had no idea that she’d become a kind of celebrity.

Cincinnati Public Schools extends virtual learning Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati Public Schools has extended its virtual learning plan through January, offi cials announced Dec. 2. The school board announced it will review community and staff health data on Jan. 16 of next year and potentially return to blended learning at the end of January. Offi cials said the decision was made primarily due to the continued increase in COVID-19 cases throughout the Cincinnati region, which has resulted in staffi ng challenges across the school district. "The CPS Administration encourages the community to wear masks and to practice good hand hygiene and social distancing to help lower the spread of COVID-19," the release states.

At Cincinnati Children’s that fi rst day, she was greeted not only by medical staff but also a camera from the hospital’s media department as she underwent testing and her fi rst shot. By the time she got home, she was inundated with texts from classmates who saw on TV that she’d been a fi rst. She saw herself on national TV shows and in news articles from around the world. At Oak Hills High, her story was reported on a school news show. A member of the Oak Hills High School choir, Katelyn left a stack of papers with information about the Cincinnati Children’s vaccine trial in her choir room in case other kids were interested in taking part. “I would encourage anyone whose parents will let them participate to go ahead,” Katelyn said. “The more people that participate in things like this, the sooner we can get a vaccine.”

Cows corralled: Ramp from I-74W to I-275N reopens Jennifer Edwards Baker Fox19

Traffi c was mooooving again after cows got loose and roamed onto the highway Dec. 2, closing the ramp from westbound Interstate 74 to northbound I-275, Colerain Township fi re offi cials said.

The cows wandered away from what authorities think is a farm in the area and were spotted about 3 a.m. Dec. 2, dispatchers say. Police from Green and Colerain townships remained on the scene after spending a couple hours trying to corral the three adult brown cows. “They were sitting in the median eat-

ing,” said Colerain Township Police Oﬃ cer Jake McElvogue. “Honestly, they probably would have been ﬁ ne if we had kept going, but the last thing we want someone to do is hit a cow.” So police rounded them up as a precaution. “The last one is being loaded up now,”

he said. “We found a local couple that house cows so we will bring a cow trailer out and at least house them for now. They are loading them up into a cow trailer now. They will house them and feed them until we can ﬁ nd who the owner is.” Enquirer media partner Fox19 provided this report.

CINCINNATI FREEDOM,

Queen City’s OG ‘world-famous runaway cow’ Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati has a history of cows getting loose but one cow stands above the rest after gaining fame for her hijinx. Cows were in the news again Dec. 2 as three wandered oﬀ , closing a major highway interchange for hours. In 2002, Cincinnati “Cinci” Freedom, escaped from a Camp Washington slaughterhouse, eluding authorities for nearly two weeks before being captured. She was dubbed the “world-famous runaway cow.” Cinci lived in Mount Storm Park in Clifton for 11 days after jumping a sixfoot fence at Ken Meyer Meats in Camp Washington. According to The Enquirer archives, “authorities were unable to corral the bovine fugitive in a heavily wooded section of the park.” At that point, she had been hiding in the park for several days. Cincinnati Mayor Charlie Luken and Fifth Third Bank were all pulling for the cow’s safe capture. Luken even said he would give the cow a key to the city once it was captured. Cinci, a Charolais cow, was eventually captured and then purchased by artist Peter Max. She went to live out her golden years at Farm Sanctuary in New York. Max is the one who named her. Cinci remained shy around humans after her ordeal but enjoyed the company of her herd, some 50 other slaughterhouse escapees.

Cinci was put down on Dec. 29, 2008, after being diagnosed with spinal cancer. She was likely 15 or 16 years old, according to Enquirer archives. During her time at the sanctuary, she put on 500 pounds, adding to her initially reported weight of about 1,500. Despite the additional weight, Cinci could clear a ﬁ ve-foot fence from a standstill position, the Farm Sanctuary’s National Shelter Director Susie Coston told the Enquirer. “She symbolized the will to live, to enjoy life and to not be messed with,” Coston told the Enquirer upon the cow’s death. “We can relate to that.”

Try a brunch egg casserole on Christmas morning Baked brunch egg casserole

Rita’s Kitchen

This is one of my students’ favorites. Simple enough for the kids to help.

Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Pat Bruce, a Northern Kentucky reader, and I have known each other for a long time. We met at church when our kids were in grade school. Pat headed up our religious education classes and both she and her sweet Mom helped with our church breakfasts and bazaars. Like many friendships through the years, we lost contact. Until this week when Pat found my site and asked for my egg and sausage casserole. “I want to make it for Christmas morning,” she said. I love that Pat remembered this recipe and wants to make it. So here it is. And if you’re looking for an elegant, trendy and yes, easy, homemade holiday gift, you have to make chipotle raspberry jam. Pack in a basket with a log of goat cheese and gourmet crackers or a baguette, and give it to those folks on your list who like something a bit diﬀ erent.

Ingredients 1 pound roll sausage, your choice 3 cups favorite cheese, shredded, divided into 2 and 1 cup measures 8 large eggs 2 cups milk 1/2 teaspoon seasoned or regular salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper Instructions Fry sausage just until cooked through. As it cooks, smoosh with potato masher to break up. Drain fat, and reserve sausage. Spray 9x13 pan. Sprinkle sausage in bottom.

Sprinkle 2 cups cheese on top of sausage. Whisk eggs until fairly fluffy, then whisk in milk and combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Refrigerator raspberry chipotle holiday jam

Pour egg mixture over cheese, being careful to pour evenly.

Go to taste on this not too sweet jam, adding more or less peppers. Jam may be a bit loose at ﬁ rst but sets up nicely.

Sprinkle remaining 1 cup cheese on top.

Make a holiday appetizer with goat cheese spread on toasted baguette or cracker topped with a bit of jam. Or dollop on a Western omelet.

Bake, uncovered, 45-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Casserole will be puffed all over.

Ingredients

Serves 12-14.

3 tablespoons dry pectin

Change it up!

1 cup sugar

1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled

2-3 teaspoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce with seeds removed if desired

Refrigerator raspberry chipotle holiday jam .

12 oz. bag frozen raspberries, thawed to room temperature

2 generous cups diced ham 2 generous cups shredded, cooked chicken

Instructions

Ladle into containers and seal.

Vegetarian version:

Combine pectin and sugar in bowl, whisking to blend.

Refrigerate up to about a month.

In a food processor, put in peppers, raspberries, and pectin mixture. Process until smooth.

Yield: About 4 containers, 4 oz. each

Saute a small chopped onion in a bit of butter. Add several generous handfuls chopped fresh spinach. Cook just until spinach wilts. Cool and use instead of meat.

Pour into bowl and let sit for an hour, stirring occasionally until sugar and pectin dissolve.

Tip: Blend or process chipotle peppers in adobo before using. Seed before processing if you want. Much easier to measure this way.

Western Athletic Club has nothing but westside pride as they wrap up their 16th year as a family business in Western Hills. This is a year to be extra thankful to all the current and past members who have been loyal supporters of Western. Tennis has been Jim and Bobbie Farley’s passion since they gave each other tennis racquets as anniversary gifts in their early 30s. Neither had ever played tennis before. Jim and Bobbie learned the sport playing with friends on public courts in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Fast forward to the summer of 2004 and following over 30 years of playing tennis, volunteering in the tennis community and moving to Cincinnati in 1979, the Farley’s purchased Western, then known as Western Racquet Club. “We wanted to share our passion for tennis with others,” said owner, Bobbie Farley. “Many members call Western their second home,” said Angela Farley Wilson, current General Manager. Western strives to promote a community where a healthy lifestyle is at the core of what they do. Exercise plays an important role in our mental and physical health and can reduce many risk factors people face. The Club serves as a hub for those just learning to walk up to those well into their 90’s. “For me, it started with tennis; however, the relationships I have made and the experiences I have had, go way beyond the sport. Western has been a terrifi c and welcoming place for my whole family,” said member, Mandi Bennett. A recent study conducted by the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) and MXM indicated that less than .0023 percent of COVID-19 cases are contact traced to gyms. Western Athletic Club has always provided a safe and clean environment for its guests and members but they have put in tremendous eff orts to ensure the facility has kept up with Hamilton County Health and Safety requirements during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Cardio equipment placement accommodates 6 ft distancing in the fi tness center, group fi tness class sizes have been limited and additional sanitization procedures have been put in place.

give an opportunity for outdoor physical activity, but it also gives a chance to repair your mental health, which is greatly needed with the stress that COVID-19 brings. Moreover, Bender Mountain exhibits a variety of educational opportunities as well. From vascular plants to mushrooms, from native species to invasive species, anyone can fi nd an interest that intrigues their mind. Bender Mountain consists of 130 wooded acres. Throughout the preserve, there are more than 125 vascular plants, which includes trees and wildfl owers. However, among these wonderful plants, there are also many invasive species like honeysuckle. After the removal of a lot of the invasive honeysuckle, the preserve saw a resurgence of 431 native plants. The preserve also has an abundance of wildlife throughout the trails. Some animals you may come across are deer, turtles, butterfl ies, bugs and insects, and fi nally snakes. Of the snakes, black rat snakes are commonly seen. While they may seem intimidating, these snakes play an essential role by keeping the destructive pests, like mice and rats, to a minimum. Additionally, mushrooms are found all over the preserve, who doesn’t like a fungi? While some of these mushrooms are edible, it is important not to take anything from the preserve. You can take pics, but don’t pick! Lastly, the Western Wildlife Corridor serves to protect, restore, and preserve natural habitats by providing education to foster connections with nature. Appropriately, WWC has provided a QR code that is present in multiple areas of Bender Mountain that provides a map. There is also another QR code used for donations, that would be greatly appreciated. Furthermore, a notable tip to learn more about the animal kingdom that is present around Bender Mountain is the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. ODNR gives access to free fi eld guides that will teach you about animals, which is great for kids.

Ken Anderson Alliance celebrates volunteers From the “Tailgate Crew” to the Board of Directors – volunteers have contributed more than 2,550 hours to the Ken Anderson Alliance in the last two years and were honored during a virtual recognition party on Nov. 19. Founded by volunteers, the Ken Anderson Alliance is a local nonprofi t dedicated to providing live, work, and engage opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities in Greater Cincinnati. Former Cincinnati Bengal great Ken Anderson welcomed everyone on the Zoom call and thanked them for their service. Volunteer Coordinator, Theresa Ciampone, says that “Volunteers are vital to KAA and we simply could not off er our programs without their help. From our volunteer Board of Directors who direct policy and planning to our fundraising event volunteers and small group outing helpers, volunteers are an essential part of everything we do.” Fifty-one volunteers gave a total of 1,221 volunteer hours helping with Engage Outings in the past two years. The outing volunteers helped participants engage in conversation, practice social skills, and have fun taking part in various activities – everything from putt-putt golf to Red’s games and restaurant dinners. Because KAA does not charge a fee for participants to attend outings, volunteers make it possible for more than 200 adults to enjoy community outings. Gio Boeing, Community Engagement Manager for KAA, told volunteers how much they mean to our participants. Volunteers from all walks of life and throughout the Greater Cincinnati area were recognized for their contribution and commitment to KAA including: h David Keam, Ft Wright, gave 36 hours at 8 outings h Tom Boeing, Pleasant Ridge, gave 48 hours at 22 outings h Jennifer Tilford, Norwood, gave 58 hours at 26 outings h Randy Marshall, Pleasant Ridge, gave 59 hours at 28 outings h Rick Hemmert, Madeira, gave 68 hours at 32 outings h Gary Greer, College Hill, gave 86 hours at 34 outings h Leslie Burdine, Mt. Washington, gave 94 hours at 40 outings h Ron Koons, Hamilton, gave 110 hours at 43 outings h Michael Kelly, Green Township, gave 124 hours at 41 outings. After being recognized, top volunteer Michael Kelly said that the “KAA Community has changed my life and I’m so happy to be part of it.” In addition to those outing volunteers, a few others were recognized for special service. Rob and Melissa Overbeck of (I think Colerain Township, are long-time supporters of KAA who stepup in a variety of ways – from offi ce help to use of their truck to pick up donations – their assistance is a true gift. Roger Rosenthal, of Mason, is an outing volunteer who has been an enthusiastic part of virtual zoom calls with participants for several months. He’s even subbed for staff and led some of the calls to help our adults stay connected and reduce loneliness. David Kahle, of Milford, was recognized for his years of work on Autism Rocks – a major fundraising event for KAA. O2 Urban farms, KAA partner, noted Lucinda Hurst and Bob Menninger as valued team members. Board president, Bill McCloy said “Volunteerism is the backbone of any good nonprofi t and you guys are the best.” Bill and Jenny McCloy were recently honored as Philanthropist of the Year by the Association of Fundraising Professionals in Cincinnati. Kevin Potts, KAA Executive Director, added, “We’re so grateful for your hours of service and support. There’s no way we could do it without you.” Truly, this group understands and appreciates the importance of volunteers.

Clinical trials show a new hair loss breakthrough can both help men and women naturally regrow a thick, full head of hair – without drugs, surgery, or side effects

housands are rushing to get a new hair restoration method based on surprising new studies from the University of California. It is the world’s first and only hair loss solution that revives dead hair follicles. And studies confirm it helps men and women regrow a thick, full head of hair, even after years of balding. Now, with news of this breakthrough spreading like wildfire — the manufacturers are struggling to keep up with overwhelming demand. That’s because, unlike other methods, it is prescription-free, drug-free, and has no side effects. And while hair transplants can cost $4,000 or more, this new approach costs pennies on the dollar and doesn’t involve going to the doctor’s office. Instead, it leverages cutting-edge technology to prevent hair loss, fill-in embarrassing bald spots, and renourish thinning hair — with results you can see and feel in 30 days or less. As Jeanne F. from San Diego, CA reports: “When my husband began to use this product, all he had on top of his head was fuzz. His hair began to grow after 30 days and now it is about 2 to 3 inches long!”

Surprising Truth About Hair Loss It is commonly believed that hair loss is hereditary. Unfortunately, most people think there is nothing they can do to stop it. However, while many doctors will tell you that thinning hair, a receding hairline, and bald spots are due to your genetics, this is not the whole story. “While genetics play a role, it’s not the main reason you lose hair,” says Dr. Al Sears, the nation’s top anti-aging doctor. “And surprisingly it’s not just your age, thyroid, hormones, stress, or a vitamin deficiency, either.” The latest scientific research reveals that hair loss is primarily caused by the stem cells in your hair follicles dying. “This discovery is a true breakthrough because by reviving these stem cells on your scalp, you can stop hair loss dead in its tracks and trigger new hair growth, even in areas that have been thinning for years,” explains Dr. Sears. Now, at his world-famous clinic, the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine in Palm Beach, Florida, Dr. Sears and his team have used this game-changing discovery to develop a brand-new hair restoration formula that is taking the country by storm. Sold under the name Re-Nourish, it is flying off the shelves with men and women of all ages raving about the results it delivers. “I have seen a significant improvement in hair growth. Previously, you could see thinning areas at the back of my head and now hair has grown

Breakthrough research proves this discovery helps fill-in bald spots, re-nournishes thinning hair, and leads to noticeable growth in as little as 30 days. over it,” says Peter W. from Ontario, Canada. And Susan D. from Fort Pierce, Florida reports, “My hair was thinning. So, I began to use Re-Nourish every day on the front part of my scalp. Now I have thicker hair.” Dr. Al Sears, M.D., is America’s leading anti-aging expert. He’s authored more than 500 scientific papers, and his discoveries have appeared on more than 50 media outlets including, ABC News, CNN, ESPN, Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Lifetime, and many more.

Regrows Hair In Just 30 Days Scientists now know that stem cells are the lifeblood of your hair follicles. Research from the University of California shows they’re the reason you’re able to grow hair. However, these stem cells aren’t always active. In fact, studies reveal they’re only active during certain phases of the hair growth cycle. “Your hair grows in three phases,” explains Dr. Sears. “First, you have the anagen phase, the hair growing phase. Then the catagen phase, when hair gets ready to shed. And finally, the telogen phase, where your hair is pushed from the follicle and falls out.” As you get older it becomes harder for your hair follicles to complete this three-phase cycle. The results? Your hairs get stuck in the telogen phase. This is when they start falling out and stop regrowing, no matter what you try. This process doesn’t happen overnight, says Dr. Sears. “At first, your hair dries out, becoming brittle, thin, and harder to style. Then, you start finding hairs on your pillow and down the drain. Finally, you’re left with bald spots that age you prematurely.” Fortunately, Re-Nourish puts a stop to this. It revives the dead stem cells in your hair follicles and reactivates your hair’s three-phase cycle, triggering new growth in as little as 30 days — even in areas that’ve been balding for years.

Reawakens Dead Hair Follicles For years, scientists couldn’t figure out why hair follicle stem cells died. However, a study from the University of California finally found the answer., It has to do with T-cells — an important immune cell in your body. The researchers discovered these T-cells are the only way to command hair follicles to grow new hair.

More importantly, they showed that T-cells helped revive the stem cells in your hair follicles — spurring new growth, filling in bald spots and natural hairline. Re-Nourish uses a unique blend of all-natural ingredients. By spraying it on your hair once per day, scientific studies show you can revive dead stem cells and improve the appearance of thicker, fuller hair. For example, the key nutrient of Re-Nourish was tested on a group of severely balding women. After 6 months, nearly 70% of the women saw significant improvement in hair growth. Their hair was noticeably fuller, thicker, and healthier looking. Most exciting of all, they grew new hair on parts of their scalp that had been bald for years. In another study, Italian researchers gathered a group of both men and women with thinning hair and applied the core ingredient of Re-Nourish. After 12 weeks, they reported a staggering 74% increase in hair growth. “It’s really mind-boggling that my hair started growing back,” says Zan R., another Re-Nourish customer. With results like this, it’s no surprise that demand for Re-Nourish is soaring. Thousands of men and women are scrambling to get their hands on the limited-supply available. Re-Nourish is not currently available in any store at any price. But we’ve secured a small batch for our readers.

SPORTS Ryan Custer’s inspiring story told in documentary Charlie Goldsmith Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Ryan Custer wants his story to be told. Three years ago, the 23-year old Elder high school graduate and former Wright State University basketball player suffered a critical spinal cord injury that left him unable to walk. Custer’s story will be featured in an upcoming documentary, Ending Disease, that highlights Custer’s positive outlook. “This is a way to get my story out there and reach as many people as I can,” Custer said. “It’s a message of hope and positivity. Bad things are going to happen in life, and not everything is going to go your way. No matter what happens, whether you need stem cells or have another disability, there’s still more life to be had.” Before he got hurt, Custer averaged 2.2 points per game as a six-foot-seven forward at Wright State. But on April 8, 2017, Custer was injured at a make-shift pool party. Over the last three years, Custer transferred to the University of Cincinnati, found a new passion in sports marketing and started a part-time job writing blogs for a company called “Strategic Data Systems.” “I’m just ﬁ nishing college up, and I have one more semester until I hope to graduate next May,” Custer said. “It’s really been same old, same old. Just trying to live my life and be a normal 23year-old kid” As Custer went through marketing and communications classes at UC, he

“I think it might even be good for other people who are struggling to hear about a story about a kid that got hurt at 19, and now he’s 23 and still has the same dreams and aspirations.” Ryan Custer

Ryan Custer, 23, pictured, Monday, Nov. 30, at home in Green Township, suffered a critical spinal cord injury three years ago. Custer’s story will be featured in an upcoming documentary, Ending Disease, that highlights his positive outlook. KAREEM ELGAZZAR/THE ENQUIRER

started thinking about the best way to share the experiences that he’s had. In the future, he hopes to write a book. For now, he appreciated the opportunity to tell his story in Ending Disease, which was scheduled to premiere on virtual cinema with The Esquire Theater and Mariemont Theater in Cincinnati on Dec. 4. “I really want to tell from my point of view how I felt through those days and how I’m living my life now,” Custer said. “I think it might even be good for other

people who are struggling to hear about a story about a kid that got hurt at 19, and now he’s 23 and still has the same dreams and aspirations.” Cincinnati native and Emmy award winner Joe Gantz has worked on Ending Disease for over ﬁ ve years. The fourpart documentary, which highlights the experience of Custer and other individuals going through clinical stem cell trials, tracks the advancement of stem cell technology and the impact it has had.

Gantz followed Custer and others through clinical trials as they grappled with a life-changing challenge. Throughout the process, Gantz was impressed by Custer’s positive attitude. “Ryan is a really unique human being,” Gantz said. “There’s few people who would have his level of optimism and humor in the midst of what he was going through. He of course had moments where he was heartbroken. But if you didn’t know that Ryan went through this accident, you would not know he was any diff erent.” The documentary shows Custer’s growth, culminating in him getting his driver’s license recently. Custer says Ending Disease can draw more awareness toward stem cell research and provide a hopeful message. “It’s a fi lm that features people who suff ered something very traumatic, but they’re still living their life,” Custer said. “They’re still doing whatever they possibly can to succeed. That’s a great message to give people in these times.”

Top moments from 2020 high school sports season Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

In a season that almost didn’t happen due to the pandemic, local athletes and teams turned in storybook performances on the biggest stages. Here are the top moments from Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and Southeast Indiana this fall. St. Xavier football wins Division I state championship St. Xavier was the best football team in Division I and left little doubt about it en route to the program’s fourth state championship. The Bombers’ high-fl ying offense was steered by junior quarterback Brogan McCaughey, who found aerial success with receivers Jalen Patterson and Liam Cliff ord combining for 135 catches for 1,954 yards and 21 touchdowns. After back-to-back close wins over Lakota West (10-7) and Springfi eld (12-10), the Bombers put together the perfect performance in a 44-3 win over Pickerington Central in the D-I state fi nal. McCaughey threw four touchdowns to Patterson and ran for another and the St. X defense gave up just 76 total yards. East Central boys soccer goes to regional fi nals The East Central boys soccer team was one victory away from a trip to state. The Trojans embarked on a historic season, going 15-3-1 with a sectional championship. East Central was led by sophomore JT Roden, who had 13 goals and nine assists. The Trojans’ season ended in the regional fi nal, where they fell on penalty kicks to Franklin Central. Mariemont boys soccer captures fi rst state championship The Mariemont Warriors had a storybook season with a storybook ending. Mariemont capped off a perfect season (23-0) with a 4-1 victory over Cardinal Mooney in the Division II state championship game at MAPFRE Stadium Nov. 14. Senior Luke Brothers was the Cincinnati Hills League player of the year and had two goals and an assist in the state fi nal. St. Ursula’s Pendergast wins Division I state singles championship St. Ursula’s Elizabeth Pendergast suffered a fi rst-round loss in the OHSAA state singles bracket in 2019 and came back for redemption this fall. The senior cruised through the D-I bracket, then held off friendly rival Shyla Aggarwal in the state fi nal for the hardware. Lakota West football ends Colerain’s streak, wins Greater Miami Conference A peculiar year had an abnormal start

Lakota West head coach Tom Bolden celebrates with his team after beating Colerain 10-0 on Friday, Aug. 28, at Colerain High School, Colerain Township, Ohio MICHAEL NOYES FOR THE ENQUIRER

in Week 1, when Lakota West, led by former Colerain head coach Tom Bolden, ended Colerain’s 87-game Greater Miami Conference win streak with a 10-0 triumph. The Firebirds would keep the pedal down for the rest of the year, winning the conference outright and making the regional championship game. Mount Notre Dame volleyball wins No. 10 To no surprise, a Greater Girls Catholic League volleyball squad found them-

selves bidding for a state championship. This time, it was GGCL runner-up Mount Notre Dame that claimed the Division I state championship with a four-set victory over Parma Padua Franciscan. It’s the 10th career state volleyball title for Mount Notre Dame and the ﬁ rst since 2015. Northern Kentucky cross country state champions Northern Kentucky had great showings at the state championship races at

Bourbon County Park on Halloween. Bishop Brossart and Scott girls each collected state titles. Brossart went back-toback in 1A and Scott won the 2A for its fi rst team championship since 1998. On the individual side, Highlands’ sophomore Maggie Schroeder was the fi rst individual state champion in program history. She fi nished 17 seconds ahead of the runner-up. Also cruising to an individual crown was Brossart’s Claire Curtsinger, a junior who fi nished 23 seconds ahead of teammate Amy Klocke. Lakota West boys win state cross country title Greater Cincinnati was well-represented among the top-tier runners in the Division I state championship race at Fortress Obetz. 5 of the top-10 runners were local products, but it was Lakota West who netted momentous points from Zachary Beneteau (8th) and Kaleb Martin (10th) to help the Firebirds win a state team title. Lakota West held off St. Xavier from capturing its secondstraight D-I crown. The Bombers were led by state runner-up Nathan Mountain. Wyoming football rallies late to beat Valley View Wyoming football was on the ropes in the Division IV regional semifi nals when it trailed Valley View, 21-14, late in the fourth quarter and needed to drive the length of the fi eld. The Cowboys needed just three plays as quarterback Brennan Pagan fi red a game-tying touchdown pass to Joop Mitchell to force OT. Pagan would run for a touchdown in the extra stanza, then fi nd running back C.J. Hester for the game-winning touchdown. The comeback win propelled the Cowboys to the regional fi nal, where they would handle Clinton-Massie for their third consecutive trip to the state Final Four. Taylor volleyball snaps Wyoming’s 152-game CHL win streak The Taylor girls volleyball team pulled off one of, if not the biggest, wins in program history this season. The Yellowjackets went 16-7 and knocked off CHLchampion Wyoming in four sets Oct. 13. It was Taylor’s fi rst victory over Wyoming in 11 years and ended Wyoming’s 152game conference win streak. Roger Bacon football wins program’s fi rst regional championship Roger Bacon’s 2019 postseason run came to an end on a controversial call. The Spartans would use that as fuel for the 2020 campaign, where they ran through the Miami Valley Conference to claim the top spot in the Region 20 playSee 2020 SPORTS, Page 2B

off s. Led by LSU commit Corey Kiner, who bolstered his Ohio Mr. Football resume with 1,866 yards and 35 touchdowns, the Spartans rolled to their fi rstever regional championship. Roger Bacon started 10-0 with only one game decided by one possession. CPS students get back on the fi eld While many teams across the city were in the midst of their seasons, Cincinnati Public School members were left on the outside looking in. Rallies were held in support of CPS athletes getting on the fi eld, then the moment fi nally came when the school district allowed member schools to resume athletics in mid-September. Hughes volleyball would go on to win the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference with a 13-1 record and Western Hills football won the 2020 city championship. Notre Dame Academy volleyball returns to glory Notre Dame Academy volleyball had won eight of the KHSAA’s fi rst 16 volleyball state titles, but hadn’t captured a title since 1994. The Pandas returned to glory days behind head coach and 1990 NDA grad Molly McDermott, who led the team

to its fi rst state championship in 26 years. The Pandas beat Mercy in a fi veset thriller in the fi nale on Nov. 7. Sophia Kuerze has record-setting season for Oak Hills Sophia Kuerze in Oak Hills girls soccer’s 12-5-3 season. The sophomore set the Oak Hills’ single-season record in goals scored (25) — a record that had stood since 1994 — and total points (63). She also is second in program history in assists in a season (14) and was named fi rst-team Greater Miami Conference. Kuerze assisted fellow sophomore Erykah Cornett for the game’s only goal in Oak Hills’ 1-0 upset win over No. 2 Loveland in the district semifi nal. Oak Hills would made the district fi nal, where they fell to Centerville. 16 touchdowns in three weeks for Ty Stylski Grabbing the early-season headlines in the prep football season was Kings’ running back Ty Stylski, who went on a scoring rampage to start the year for the Knights. In the fi rst three weeks of the season, the senior ran for 637 yards and 15 touchdowns and caught 10 balls for 178 yards and a score. Stylski ended up with 1,033 yards, helping lead Kings to the regional semifi nals, but an injury sidelined him for the Knights’ season-ending loss to Winton Woods. Stylski was named the Eastern Cincinnati Conference’s co-offensive player of the year.

Mason girls golf runs away with GMC, logs runner-up fi nish at state There was no catching the Mason girls golf team at the GMC championship match this season. The Comets ran way with the conference title, fi nishing with a new GMC match record 579, three strokes better than the 582 set by Mason in 2010. The Comets would go on to state, where they fi nished as Division I runnerup. Ross football runs to regional fi nal Ross entered the 2020 season having never won a playoff game in program history. They ended the year on the doorstep of the state fi nal four. Following a season-

opening loss to Badin, Ross won eight straight with only one decided by less than two touchdowns. Fullback Jackson Giff ord and quarterback C.J. Boze combined for 2,733 rushing yards and 40 touchdowns as Ross ran away with a Southwest Ohio Conference championship. The Rams’ run came to an end in the regional title game with a 35-21 loss to Kettering Alter. Harrison football wins playoff game at the gun The fi rst season of football on the new turf at Bill Kuntz Field ended in style for Harrison football. The Wildcats opened postseason play at home against Lima Senior and trailed 21-0 at halftime. Three Mason Young touchdowns put Harrison back in the game, but the Wildcats still trailed in the waning seconds of regulation. With just six seconds left, Young hit wide receiver Nic Pucci for a game-winning 45-yard touchdown on the fi nal play of the game.

Mason girls golf set a GMC championship record with a 2-day total of 579 this fall. The Comets would go on to ﬁ nish as the Division I state runner-up. PROVIDED BY CHAD LAYTON

Niche has recently released its 2021 Best Schools rankings and some familiar names are at the top of the list on both sides of the river. Niche uses test scores and academic performance as well as user input from current students, alumni, and parents in its analysis. Indian Hill High School took the top spot in Ohio. On top of that, Indian Hill Exempted Village School District was named the 7th best school district in America. Wyoming City Schools was also nationally ranked and came in at the 64th best school district in America. In Northern Kentucky, Beechwood Independent Schools and Fort Thomas Independent Schools took home top honors in high school and elementary school rankings. “2020 has been an unprecedented year on multiple fronts and yet people are making big life decisions, like moving somewhere new or adjusting to a diﬀ erent work situation. A lot of times, those changes are tied into choosing a school for their kids,” said Luke Skurman, Founder and CEO at Niche. “Especially in these uncertain times, we believe transparency is crucial.

SCHOOL NEWS Saint Ursula Academy students fi nd ways to volunteer during pandemic The Community Service Learning Department at Saint Ursula Academy is getting creative, fi nding ways for students to continue to serve their community while honoring safety and social distancing protocols in place during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to recurring service programs, students have an opportunity to participate in one-time service, called Big Surprises Service Events. These events are scheduled approximately four times a year to give students with busy schedules an opportunity to sign up, show up and serve. The fi rst Big Surprises Service Event of this school year was Saturday, Oct. 17. Students worked with Habitat for Humanity’s for its Rock the Block day. They cleaned, painted and built picnic tables on a rooftop patio at Oyler School in Lower Price Hill. Students who participated in the Rock the Block event include SUA’s Big Surprises leader Natalie Fahner ’22 of Delhi Twp., Kaitlyn Angeline ’21 of Milford, Rebecca Reichert ’21 of Cleves, Maria Sophia Garcia ’21 of Hyde Park, Ella Todd ’21 of Loveland, Courtney Ruesink ’22 of Loveland, and Emma Voelkerding ’22 of Cleves.
