Homearama and more coming to Eastside this year Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Expect to see bulldozers, hard hats and construction fencing in a number of Eastside neighborhoods this year as high-proﬁ le developments progress and come online. Plans for the area include a Hampton Inn & Suites, a mix of housing and even this year’s Homearama. Here’s a breakdown of some of the projects:

East End For the fi rst time in the 57-year history of Homearama, the annual showcase of new homes sponsored by the Home Builders Association of Greater Cincinnati will be in Cincinnati. Cincinnati’s East End, to be exact. Seven homes in a variety of architectural styles and ranging in price from $800,000 to more than $1 million will be open to the public at Walworth Junction from July 11 to July 26. Walworth Junction is an urban, infi ll project of 39 single-family lots being developed by East End Development — a limited liability company of the Meierjohan Building Group of Cheviot — off Walworth Avenue below Columbia Parkway. It will turn what was once a vacant, contaminated rail yard into a neighborhood of pricey homes with Ohio River views. Crews currently are preparing the Homearama site for construction.

Hyde Park City of Homes at Wasson Way Kenneth French plans to build four single-family homes with rooms for ofﬁ ces on vacant land along the Wasson Way bike trail in Hyde Park this year. The Hyde Park resident says he is working on the ﬁ nal design of “City Homes at Wasson Way”— a necessity since French recently agreed to downsize his initial plan to build six homes on just under an acre of property on Wasson Road near Paxton Avenue. French won a bid to rezone the land across from the Kroger store in the Hyde Park Plaza for a denser project. But he

It's unclear whether a plan to tear down homes on Linwood Avenue in Mount Lookout and use the lots and vacant property on a wooded hillside behind them to build 18 townhomes and 12 houses will be pursued. JEANNE HOUCK/THE ENQUIRER

subsequently said he would abide by the original zoning and build just four homes. It was an attempt to appease Hyde Park Neighborhood Council members and neighbors — some of whom remain unhappy that the Cincinnati planning commission is permitting French to build the four houses closer to property lines than usually allowed. The six homes in French’s initial plan each were to measure about 2,600

square feet and cost in the mid$600,000s. He said it’s too early to say how big the four houses he plans to build now will be or how much they will cost. “Phase 3 of Wasson Way, which is adjacent to our project, is funded and expected to be completed in 2020,” French said. “Our goal is to also be building in 2020 to minimize disruption to the neighborhood.”

More than a year after losing its former location to a devastating fi re, The Coff ee Exchange of Pleasant Ridge is back making fresh coff ee in a new spot. The cafe’s doors opened early Jan. 14, according to the company’s Facebook page.. The new location is at 6041 Montgomery Road. The new location is larger and off ers more seating. “We have worked so hard for this day and hope you are all as pleased with the results as we are, it is truly more than I could have imagined!!!,” the owners stated on Facebook. The old location was destoryed in a June 7 three-alarm fi re. The Enquirer reported in June that the building housed apartments, Coff ee Exchange and Molly Malone’s party room. The fi re began in an apartment above the Coff ee Exchange and spread quickly throughout the entire building.

the Rookwood Commons & Pavilion in neighboring Norwood already is zoned for a hotel. Windows and doors are boarded up on the front of the former Pig & Whistle building, which appears gutted in the back. Jason Williams, the director of design for Phoenix Architecture of Blue Ash, could not be reached for comment on when construction will begin. Williams has been handling media inquiries about the development and has said the hotel will be situated at the rear of the property, away from Madison Road. Parking screened with landscaping will be in front of the property, he has said, wrapping around the Lemon Grass Thai Cuisine at 2666 Madison Road. Although a for-sale sign previously posted at the front of the property has been uprooted and is now leaning against the side of the building, the Hamilton County Auditor’s website shows the ownership of the property has not changed

Madisonville PLK Communities of Kenwood says it will invest some $18 million to build a 151-unit apartment complex and restore the historic Stewart house on about 4.5 acres of land at the northwest corner of Madison Road and Stewart Avenue in Madisonville. Despite some neighborhood opposition, construction could begin in March or April, Nicholas Lingenfelter, vice president of development for PLK Communities, said. He said PLK anticipates that one-bedroom apartments there will carry monthly rents starting at $995. The Stewart house at 5540 Madison Road is believed to have been built in 1838 and is part of the Madison-Stewart Historic District.

development in Mount Lookout remains to be seen. Redstone MTL, LLC submitted a draft plan to the Cincinnati planning department in December 2018 that proposed tearing down seven houses on Linwood Avenue and using the deep lots and vacant residential property on a wooded hillside behind them to build 18 townhomes and 12 houses. The plan called for the townhomes to be built on Linwood Avenue and the houses behind the townhomes on a 4.65-acre site bordered by 3530 Linwood Ave. to 3548 Linwood Ave., Sheffi eld Avenue, Beverly Hill Drive and Richwood Avenue. Neighborhood opposition popped up, in the form of a group, Looking Out for Mt. Lookout, and no subdivision application for the property has since been fi led with Cincinnati, city spokesman Casey Weldon said. That would kickstart a process involving Cincinnati planning commission scrutiny and specifi c neighborhood input. Redstone MTL initially bought four of the seven Linwood Avenue homes included in the draft plan, the Hamilton County Auditor’s website shows. Last Sept. 20, Redstone transferred ownership of those houses to Urban Investors Mt. Lookout, LLC, which the Ohio Secretary of State’s Offi ce website says is another limited liability company with the same incorporator. On Sept. 20, Urban Investors also bought a fi fth home included in the draft plan and a sixth home not in the plan but next to houses in the plan – both from private owners. “We have not heard anything from Redstone/ Urban Investors since early 2019,” Pete Riddle of Looking Out for Mt. Lookout said.

Physician has excelled in surgery, music and clogging Dr. Lionel R. King and two fellow physicians at Good Samaritan Hospital caught the medical community’s attention in 1964 when they performed the fi rst adult kidney transplant in Cincinnati. Then they transplanted 10 more over the next four to fi ve years, all without charge to the patients, according to a hospital publication. “We didn’t charge the patients anything because medical insurance didn’t cover the new procedure at the time,” recalls King, now retired from medical practice at the age of 94. A Kentucky native, King graduated from high school in 1943 just in time to be drafted to serve in World War II as a surgical technician in embattled Europe – a dramatic introduction to saving lives. Returning to civilian life after the war, Lionel studied at the University of Kentucky before moving on to the University of Louisville for medical school. There he earned a medical degree and the aff ection of fellow med student Athena Yankos, who became his wife in 1952. They moved to Cincinnati where she could begin studying under her own medical fellowship. Lionel was named to head Good Samaritan’s hemodialysis unit, treating patients suff ering from kidney failure. In the 1970s he was a clinical professor of medicine at Cincinnati Medical Center. By 2010, he would be honored by Good Samaritan Hospital with a Lifetime Achievement Award for Medical Education and Service. He also maintained his own private medical practice, with as many as a dozen doctors and fi ve nurses focusing on patients with internal problems. He oversaw that practice until 1990, when he resigned from Good Samaritan and the University of Cincinnati Medical Center to take care of his terminally ill fi rst wife. She would die in March 1991.

Dr. Lionel King and his wife, Nancy, met at a local clogging club, which both enjoyed because of its demands on skill and athleticism. PROVIDED

Later that year, Lionel met Nancy Swain, a Purdue graduate who had lost her own spouse, Don, just two weeks before Lionel’s wife died. Lionel and Nancy had met at meetings of a local clogging club, which both enjoyed because of its demands on skill and athleticism. After they married in 1993, the newlyweds traveled with a clogging team that staged demonstrations at Florida’s Disney World, in Hawaii, Washington, D.C and Austria. But Lionel hadn’t given up his inter-

est in music, which he says could easily have become his life’s work. As a graduate high school student, he had turned down three college musical scholarships in favor of a medical career. But instead of abandoning music while beginning medical studies at the University of Kentucky, “I played oboe in the UK Orchestra, saxophone in the marching band and clarinet and sax in a dance band.” he recalls with a smile. In retirement, he continued to pursue those interests – playing oboe with

groups including the New Horizons Band of Cincinnati, Green Hills American Legion Band and the Cincinnati Civic Orchestra. He and Nancy also sang in the choir at St. Paul Community United Methodist Church of Madeira. These days, health problems have limited his involvement in many of these hobbies, and prompted their move late last year from an 1870s gentriﬁ ed farm house in Madeira to a home in Montgomery’s Twin Lakes complex.

No grill required for barbecued baby back ribs Easy oven-barbecued baby back ribs: no grill required First you need a rub. Use your favorite store bought or try this one. It’s good on just about everything. Not real spicy so if you want to up the heat, add more cayenne.

All purpose dry rub

powder ⁄ 2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Optional but really good: 1 teaspoon cumin and few shakes allspice Instructions

Ingredients

Mix together. Store in refrigerator for up to 1 month.

4 tablespoons salt ⁄ 3cup brown sugar

3 tablespoons sweet paprika (or sub in 1 tablespoon smoked paprika and 2 tablespoons sweet) 2 teaspoons black pepper

Sauce Use your homemade or doctor up store bought with a bit of the rub and some pan juices.

1 tablespoon each: garlic and onion

Oven-barbecued baby back ribs. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

I’ve mentioned before that every once in a while, you and I are on the same page when it comes to what to make for supper. It happened again recently when, after a presentation, a fellow came up and asked if I had a recipe for oven-barbecued ribs. “I don’t want to mess with the grill in this weather,” he said. I had to laugh because a few days prior, that’s exactly what we enjoyed for supper. Making oven-barbecued ribs won’t give you grill marks, but no worries. It’s a simple and pretty foolproof method. And

Ribs

one I hope you try. Good sides would be smashed boiled potatoes or mac & cheese and something green, either as a veggie or salad. Now for another barbecue recipe, this time for pulled pork in the slow cooker or instapot, check out my site. It’s from best friend Carol Vanover, who always comes up with doable, yet seriously tasty, food. With Super Bowl on the horizon, either of these would be good crowd pleasers.

Enough for 2 racks or more depending upon size.

Bake about 2 hours or until meat cooks through and tender.

Instructions

Drain juices and reserve, keeping meat on foil.

Why baby backs?

Sprinkle rub generously on both sides.

Sometimes labeled pork loin ribs, baby backs are lean, tender and easy to pick up with ﬁ ngers. The name “baby” comes from the fact that they are shorter than spareribs, and “back,” because they are closest to the main backbone.

Preheat oven to 250 or 275. Place each rack of ribs meat side down, bone side up, on heavy duty foil. (Double foil if using regular.) Prick ribs with knife to poke through skin. This allows rub to penetrate.

Put ribs meat side down again, bone side up, and fold foil all around to make a tight seal. Place on cookie sheet.

Increase temperature to 350. Brush thin layer of sauce all over. This time place it meat side up, bone side down. Leave on foil but keep foil open. Roast 10 minutes, remove from oven, and repeat brushing and roasting another 3 times or so. You’re building up a nice coating that bakes onto the meat. Cut into serving pieces (1 rib or more) and serve with more barbecue sauce.

Why your tax dollars will be paying for private school students’ tuition Jessie Balmert Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS - When you hear the words “underperforming school,” you probably don’t think of Indian Hill Middle School or Wyoming Middle School. Both schools got an overall B grade on their most-recent state report cards. But they are two of 1,228 public schools whose students will soon be eligible for a taxpayer-funded scholarship to private schools – all because the state says their public schools failed them. Without a fi x, Ohio taxpayers will owe private schools a hefty check to educate those students. And a recent change would allow private school students who have never set foot in a public school to claim that money too. Starting Feb. 1, those students can apply for up to $6,000 in taxpayer money to attend a private school instead. A recent change allows private school students to claim that money even if they never attended a public school. Students are eligible for this money because their public schools are considered failing or on the verge of failing, according to standards set by Ohio law. But the list of eligible schools has ballooned in recent years, leaving lawmakers and school offi cials wondering: Are nearly four in 10 schools really not up to snuff ? “We have pinned a lot of school districts and teachers with a bad rap and said that they were failures,” House Speaker Larry Householder, R-Glenford, told reporters in December. “They’re not failures.” Some of the loudest criticism has come from the state’s richest schools – places unaccustomed to being labeled “underperforming.” Now Ohio lawmakers have just weeks to clear those schools’ names and stop private schools from striking paydirt at public schools’ expense. A handful of legislators are hammering out a fi x that should dramatically decrease the number of schools eligible.

Why is this a problem now? For years, Ohio has oﬀ ered taxpayerfunded “scholarships,” often called vouchers, for students in underperforming public schools to attend private schools. The most popular voucher is called

Elder students cheer before a game against the Colerain Cardinals in November. Ohio lawmakers have until Feb. 1 to ﬁ x state law that would allow private school students to obtain up to $6,000 in taxpayer money for tuition. MICHAEL NOYES FOR THE ENQUIRER

EdChoice, which requires a student’s public school district to pay $4,650 toward private school tuition for kindergarten through 8th grade and $6,000 for high school. The number of students using EdChoice vouchers has swelled in recent years, growing from 23,500 students receiving $113 million in 2019 to 30,000 students receiving nearly $149 million in 2020. The payout for next year could be even higher, and there are two reasons why. First, the most recent state budget allowed private school students to apply for this money even if they were never enrolled in a public school. The change forces public schools to use money intended for public school students to pay for private school students, who never would have gone there. The $6,000 voucher is sometimes higher than what schools receive from the state to educate public school students. Second, the number of students eligible for these vouchers is poised to rapidly increase because of several changes made by lawmakers. For the 2020-2021 school year, students at 1,228 public schools from 424

districts – two-thirds of the state’s school districts – are eligible. That’s up from 476 schools in 137 districts for the 2019-2020 school year. Under current law, schools are labeled “underperforming” – and thus eligible for private school vouchers – if they received a D or F in one of several categories on their state report card in two of three years reviewed. These categories include everything from graduation rate to third-grade reading skills. One category that has led to an increase in eligible schools is a growth measure called “value-added.” Republican Rep. Bill Seitz, of Green Township, explained it this way: If the New England Patriots reached the Super Bowl two years in a row, the team’s value-added score would be an F because it showed no improvement. “That’s kind of ridiculous,” Seitz said.

What’s the fi x? Amid calls from angry local school offi cials, Ohio lawmakers realized they needed a fi x –and fast. Seitz said the proposed solution involves three changes: ❚ Private school students who never attended a public school would not be

eligible for money through the EdChoice voucher. ❚ As an alternative, lawmakers would make it easier to obtain an income-based voucher by raising eligibility to 400 percent of the federal poverty level or about $100,000 for a family of four. Seitz said that money would come directly from the state instead of what’s given to local school districts. ❚ Schools would not be labeled “underperforming” if they received an overall score of A or B on the past two years’ report cards. Schools that received a C would be eligible only if they were in the bottom 10% of all buildings in the state. Those changes should dramatically decrease the number of students attending failing or near-failing schools – and thus decrease the taxpayer money being spent on vouchers, Seitz said. The long-term solution involves changing how these schools end up on the “underperforming” list. That means tackling Ohio’s much-maligned school report cards. Report cards should give schools guidance on how to improve – not punish them unnecessarily, said Rep. Catherine Ingram, D-Mount Auburn and a former Cincinnati school board member.

Enquirer editorial board adds three community members Enquirer editorial board

Contrary to the old adage, great minds don't always think alike. And that's OK. In fact, at The Enquirer, we believe that sometimes the best ideas and solutions to our region's most stubborn challenges are born when people from diverse backgrounds, cultures and experiences come together to share, debate and learn from each other's unique perspectives. It is in that spirit that we are announcing the addition of three new community members to the Enquirer editorial board. These community leaders represent diverse ideologies, political perspectives and geographies and will provide insights that will help shape the opinions we advance online and in the printed newspaper. These community board members will serve one-year terms, and they will meet with us once a month to debate local and state issues and meet with newsmakers. They will occasionally write columns or provide dissenting opinions to The Enquirer's editorials. These new members are straightforward, passionate and engaged in the issues impacting Greater Cincinnati. They know how to make their points clearly, thoughtfully and, most importantly, with civility. We see this as an opportunity to

strengthen the dialogue in our region by expanding the breadth and depth of our conversations. We also hope to provide a blueprint for what thoughtful, passionate and civil discourse among diverse minds can look like. Here are our new community editorial board members.

Gil Spencer Gil Spencer is a familiar to face to readers of The Enquirer's opinion pages. For the past two years, Spencer has been writing periodic columns as a member of our board of contributors. Known for his witty banter and pull-no-punches commentary, Spencer will Spencer add a strong conservative point of view to the editorial board. Spencer lives in Hyde Park and was a newspaper columnist in the Philadelphia area for 30 years. He is now the communications director for a publicly held company here in town.

Bonnie Jean Feldkamp Bonnie Jean Feldkamp grew up in Northern Kentucky and lives in Fort Thomas these days with her husband and 4-year-old son. Feldkamp also has

two adult daughters who live in Louisville. She, too, is a familiar face on these opinion pages, writing op-eds on occasion that tie personal experience to current Feldkamp events and reach readers beyond data points to help them relate, empathize, and care about what’s going on in the world. Feldkamp is a member of the Fort Thomas Forest Conservancy, the communications director for the National Society of Newspaper Columnists, and a board member for the Cincinnati Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. She said she loves writing "because you don’t have to know all the answers, you just have to know how to ask questions, listen, and communicate what you’ve learned in a way that’s understandable and hopefully enjoyable."

Christine Marallen Christine Marallen currently spends much of her week inside prisons, jails and halfway houses with men and women who have decided to do something diﬀ erent about their poor choices and the resulting circumstances. Marallen has been working with the incarcerated since 2002 and is the former Director of Prison Ministries for the

Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Former Lakota West, Moeller athlete Verdon happy in Hamilton Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

HAMILTON – There is no oﬃ cial “transfer portal” in high school, though recent years have seen a ﬂ urry of moves among prep players. Some involve legitimate changes in residency, some impatience, some a better competitive edge and some are a combination of factors. The Ohio High School Athletic Association deals with a plethora of these issues and there are a number of exceptions where student-athletes can make the proverbial “jump” and be eligible right away. While many instances result in controversy, some work out for the betterment of the player. That is the hope of Hamilton High School and junior Malik Verdon who is at his third school in three seasons.

A different shade of blue Verdon, a 6-foot-4, 190-pound multi-threat football player has the unique situation of having played football at Moeller this fall and is now in Hamilton’s starting basketball lineup. Because of family residence near the school and going from one sport to another, Verdon was ruled immediately eligible as a midseason transfer for the basketball season and is now looking forward to the gridiron campaign for the Big Blue as a senior. “It was actually really easy,” Verdon said of the switch. “Everyone’s been accepting, nothing much to it.” Verdon’s prep path began at Lakota West as a freshman. From there, he transferred to Moeller and saw varsity action for the Crusaders as a sophomore at quarterback going 4-for-9 for 47 yards with a touchdown along with 74 rushing yards. This fall as a junior, he began the season at quarterback but was switched to receiver after Drew Altemuehle took over. Verdon was 5-for-17 passing for 37 yards, ran for 240 yards and two scores and had three receptions for 43 yards and a touchdown. However, after seven games, he elected to move closer to his residence near Hamilton. After an initial wait,

Moeller quarterback Malik Verdon runs the ball during the Crusaders football game against Indy Cathedral, on Aug. 31, 2019. TONY TRIBBLE

Verdon was cleared to play basketball for the ﬁ rst time since he was a freshman. The Big Blue, coached by Kevin Higgins, are among the Greater Miami Conference leaders and Verdon leads the league in ﬁ eld goal percentage.

The rebound “Malik’s been a huge bonus for the basketball program,” Higgins said. “We know he’s a high-level football player. He’s been a great addition. We’re oﬀ to a solid start, so we hope we can continue.” Verdon’s place in the paint has freed up Hamilton’s top scorer, Trey Robinson, a 6-6 senior Northern Kentucky University commit. “It’s big-time because he gets a lot of rebounds for us,” Robinson said. “Inside presence is always good. We don’t have a ton of height, but him being there has deﬁ nitely helped.”

Big Blue end zones ahead Verdon is also looking forward to joining up with junior quarterback Quincy Simms-Marshall and sophomore running backs Kaleb Johnson and Keyshawn Stephens. Those three led coach Nate Mahon’s Hamilton squad to the playoﬀ s for the ﬁ rst time since 2010. The addition of a prospect like Verdon has many fans excited for the upcoming season. “I’m going to be playing receiver, quarterback, safety, defensive end,

St. Xavier High School signs with Under Armour Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

CINCINNATI — The St. Xavier High School athletic department announced that Under Armour, through BSN SPORTS, will be the oﬃ cial outﬁ tter of St. Xavier athletics. With this deal, all 17 of St. X’s varsity sports teams will use Under Armour apparel for competition and practices beginning July 1. The long-term agreement also includes numerous incentives in the form of discounts and rewards along with additional marketing, branding and promotional opportunities for the entire school. St. Xavier Athletic Director Brian Reinhart led the agreement. “We are very excited and honored to announce this partnership with BSN

and Under Armour,” Reinhart said. “They outfi t and sponsor some of the best athletes and universities in the country and around the world and we are grateful to be counted among them. They are a leader in innovation and development to help athletes which will fi t right along with our striving for the Magis in all we do.” BSN Sports President and Chief Operating Offi cer Terrence M. Babilla added: "The agreement between St. Xavier High School, BSN Sports and Under Armour will add tremendous value to the experience of the coaches, athletes and families involved with Bomber Athletics. St. X families will be able to take advantage of this partnership through discounts and products that will be available through team stores, in the bookstore, online and more.

Playing the ﬁ eld Verdon has been noticed by recruiting services and several schools from camps and oﬃ cial visits. Florida, Mississippi State, Kentucky, Michigan State, Miami University, Central Michigan, Toledo, Ball State and Pitt are among those that have shown interest. “I’m actually about to go down to Florida over the summer,” Verdon said. “Me and my Mom are also going to go to

Arizona State and Oregon over the summer too. There are junior days (coming up) and during the summer I’m going to be doing camps.” For the record, Verdon’s three-school path is not unique. Families that frequently move can have multiple high schools and others have transferred for various reasons. Also in the GMC this season, Princeton’s starting quarterback MyJaden Horton was on his third team having

started for Lakota West as a sophomore and La Salle as a junior. Horton recently signed with the University of Akron. “There was nothing strange about it,” Verdon said of the moves. “When I was growing up as a kid I lived a lot of places.” Verdon still has friends at Moeller and a little brother in the Crusader program as a freshman. He appears to be widely popular in Hamilton.

SCHOOL NEWS A Brave named Beauregard Charlotte Yarnell spends her days teaching young Braves at Indian Hill Primary School (IHPS); when she leaves her classroom, she goes home to a very active 5year-old. “I have a big love bug of a yellow lab at home named Beauregard,” said Yarnell. “He is such a big part of my life.” Beau (as he’s called) is such a big part of Yarnell’s life that she started to share stories and photos of her fur-baby with her students, and a bond formed. “The Beauregard stories I share are usually funny day-to-day things he does that we giggle about, but they can be sad too. For example, Beau recently blew out his ACL and went through surgery. The students surprised me with get-well cards and letters for him which were precious, and they continue to ask how he is doing. The interest and empathy they show is priceless,” said Yarnell. “Most families in my class have pets, so my stories are of huge interest to my students because they can relate, and, in turn, our connection as a school family grows deeper.” So deep that a stuff edanimal version of Beau has become an offi cial member of the class. Stuff ed Beau is the takehome prize given to Yarnell’s students to encourage reading and writing exercises. The program is called Take Home Beau, and Yarnell’s students are selected randomly to each spend a week with Beau. Stories about Beau’s adventures are placed in his journal that is kept in his travel bag. Students share their journal entries with the class, which provides an opportunity to practice

public speaking skills. “The students can’t wait for their turns,” said Yarnell. “We have heard about Beau riding the school bus, snuggling in bed reading with students, going trick-ortreating, and even playing in moving boxes as we had a class member move here from England this year!” The excitement over Take Home Beau wasn’t limited to Yarnell’s students. It also caught the attention of fellow teacher Amy Campa. “Charlotte shared the project with us during a grade-level meeting and was so enthusiastic about what her students were writing and how much they absolutely loved taking their class mascot home and writing about his adventures,” said Campa. “Having two dogs at home I also share stories about, I thought it was such a cute idea! I also liked the fact that it not only encouraged the students to practice their reading and writing, but also helped to foster a sense of responsibility and caring for something else.” Campa started Take Home Toby and On the

Move Molly, named after her two dogs. Each of the dogs has their own carrying bag and a journal. Two students get to take one of the dogs home each week. “The schedule alternates so that we have two days of sharing each week,” said Campa. “The students can’t wait to see what has happened when we share!” “It’s amazing how much my class has gotten to know about each other from listening to stories about one another and what they do at home,” said Yarnell. “It has also encouraged more reading and writing for pleasure, and it has allowed my students to take center stage as they report to their classmates about Beau’s visit. I am planning on hosting a picnic with the class at a park this summer so they can meet the real Beauregard; I know he will be over the moon to meet my kiddos! “I love getting to know my class not just as the students they are in my classroom, but also as the children they are at home. Take Home Beau allows the students to share who they are with us.” Heather Higdon, Indian Hill School District

World history students at The Seven Hills School debate ancient governments As part of their study of ancient Greece, ninthgraders in Katie Swinford’s world history class at The Seven Hills School played the roles of citizens of Athens, each with different political beliefs, to debate key issues at turning points of Greek history. Students created backstories for their characters to ﬁ t their beliefs and socio-economic statuses. They debated issues that faced the Athenians in ﬁ fth century BCE, such as rebuilding a democracy, in front of the gathered Athenian Assembly. After each student spoke, the assembly had a free debate about the topic. “This assignment makes students think about an issue the ancient Athenians faced and to role-play how those issues were debated in the Athenian assembly,” Swinford said. “Students learn how to participate in civil discourse and conduct respectful arguments, even with people with whom they disagree — a skill with broad application in our modern world.” Taylor Evans, The Seven Hills School

Blue Ash Fire will welcome new roommates from Sharonville Blue Ash Firefi ghters will be getting new roommates on Jan. 18. The Blue Ash Fire Department is off ering up living space in the North Fire Station for two Sharonville fi refi ghters as Sharonville Fire Station 87 on Reading Rd. gets an overhaul. One of the Sharonville Fire Engines will also be temporarily housed in the North Fire Station garage in Blue Ash. Blue Ash is providing the accommodations at no charge to help Sharonville maintain their full slate of services while the renovations are underway. “Last summer I heard that Sharonville was looking for a rental space to house the crew while station 87 was being renovated,” said Blue Ash Fire Chief Chris Theders. “The original space they were looking at was not able to accommodate E-87 inside and the vehicle would need to run 24 hours a day during the winter so the water would not freeze. I reached out to Chief Kirk Mousa and extended the invitation for E-87 and the crew to stay here while the work was being done on their station.” The decision to help was an easy one to make, said Theders. “We have a great working relationship with Sharonville and would help out any way we can. It is our honor to help them during this period, I know they would do the same for us,” Theders said.

Local company introduces new customizable protein powder platform BLUE ASH — INFINIT Nutrition, a sports nutrition company that revolutionized the industry with its patented lineup of custom-blended nutrition solutions, has unveiled a brand new Custom Protein Recovery online platform and premium product line. Since its inception 15 years ago, INFINIT has been a world leader in creating customized, all-in-one isotonic solutions designed to both hydrate and eliminate the need for any gels, salt pills or extra food to fuel the world’s most demanding endurance sports. The launch of a Custom Protein Recovery platform, with the ability to create personalized protein blends for each individual, is a natural progression for the company already established at the forefront of the custom nutrition movement. INFINIT has an established reputation for providing the highest quality products made with the cleanest and most premium ethically sourced ingredients in the world. The Custom Protein Recovery platform allows consumers to build their very own handcrafted protein powder made with premium nutrition-packed ingredients, and absolutely no fi llers, preservatives, thickeners or artifi cial sweeteners. The consumer can choose from four diff erent protein sources, three carb and calorie levels, as well as fl avor and fl avor strength. Renowned for its high-quality whey protein formulas, INFINIT has expanded its off erings with a plant-based, vegan-friendly protein blend, as well as a keto and paleo-friendly egg white protein. Further customization is possible by adding various “Boosts,” including additional amino acids, natural antioxidants, and a variety of other nutraceuticals. INFINIT Custom Protein blends provide essential nutrition after workouts, as a meal supplement, or as a simple nighttime recovery. Customizing a protein formula to the individual’s needs allows for anybody — be it a professional athlete or someone just looking to stay in shape — to maximize recovery and build lean muscle. “The idea that a pre-made protein in a jug is going to be a better solution than one created specifi cally for the unique needs of the individual is kind of silly,” Michael Folan, INFINIT Founder and CEO explains. “Every single person is unique and diff erent. Some want higher carbs, some want vegan-friendly. Some want lots of fl avor, others want none. We give our customers the ability to create the perfect protein solution for their own personal unique needs.” With recent market trends focusing on recovery strategies, in addition to the burgeoning popularity of protein powders, the demand for alternative protein products that fi t a variety of diets and lifestyles has surfaced. INFINIT Nutrition saw that this newly emerging consumer need was one that they could easily satisfy with their unique expertise and custom formulation capabilities. INFINIT Custom Protein customization options include: ❚ Level of calories and carbohydrates ❚ Amount and choice of four diff erent premium protein sources ❚ Choice of all-natural fl avor with adjustable fl avor intensity ❚ Boost the blend with additives, including natural antioxidants and anti-infl ammatory compounds like tart cherry and curcumin, as well as healthy fats, creatine and more.

serve the local community by providing a high-quality experience to family, friends and neighbors. The original concept was a “sports mall” atmosphere where residents would benefi t from numerous sporting facilities in one location. Original tenants included the Cincinnati Sports Club, Hyde Park Gymnastics, Soccer 1, Strike 3 Batting Cages, Winners Café, P-Body’s Exercise Studio, Queen City Sports Medicine and Koch Sporting Goods. Thirty years later, the Club is making a diff erence in the lives of others through their unique combination of health, medical wellness and social programming. “The Sports Mall model did not function properly due to site limitations. Through the years, the club grew into the indoor 110,000 square foot facility and now concentrates on building a unique member experience,” states Mary Frank, Sr. Manager, who has been with the Club for the past 26 years. “And every year, we continue to grow to meet the ever-changing needs of our members – all part of our master plan – Club Vision 2025 v2.0. When I refl ect on our timeline of improvements, you can see our commitment to the membership and the community. Every surface of the Club has been improved, enhanced or modifi ed. And we are not done yet. We are expecting to open our new adult only outdoor pool and poolside café/bar this May and will soon start our plans for an on-site dog sitting facility,” continues Frank. CSC has become one of the premiere facilities in the region. 87% of Club members reside in the surrounding neighborhoods of Hyde Park, Mt. Lookout, Oakley, Mariemont and Fairfax. And there are more than 100 charter members who are still active today at the Club. Here are a few of the major milestones that have occurred along the way for the Cincinnati Sports Club: ❚ Campus has more than doubled in size from 7 to 16 acres.

❚ Parking accommodations have doubled from 250 spaces to 550 spaces. ❚ Red Bank Road has transformed from a warehousing industry to offi ce/retail destination. ❚ More than 350 individuals are employed annually on the facility premises. The company began with a team of 50. ❚ 23 employees have been with the organization for more than 15 years. ❚ Boasts one of the highest member retention rates in the region due to high member satisfaction and its wide breadth of off erings – including more than 112 group exercise classes per week, a combined total of 8 indoor/outdoor aquatic facilities, indoor track, outdoor fi tness trail, tennis, platform tennis and yearround pickleball play, a Pilates and Mind Body Center, full service spa and salon, indoor athletic fi eld, children’s summer and holiday camps, swim teams and year-round soccer leagues, dance and tumbling classes, the TriHealth and Beacon Orthopedics physician’s offi ces, a full service Market Café ❚ More than 45 bands play annually at year-round social events for the oldest to youngest members, often with 500-700 in attendance. ❚ Recognizing members varied needs and creating workout spaces as they prefer – choosing from mainstream, group, individual and outdoor environments. ❚ Supports more than 50 local community, nonprofi t organizations and charities through annual donations of time, space, and services.

Product innovation, employee loyalty help Casco thrive for 60 years Casco Manufacturing Solutions of Camp Washington in Cincinnati celebrates 60 years in business this year as a third-generation, family-owned manufacturer of soft goods. Its facility at 3107 Spring Grove Ave., in Camp Washington’s historic industrial district harkens back to a time when workers didn’t need a high school education to get a job, much less a college degree. It speaks to an era when workers and managers mingled at the annual Christmas party, and bosses gave workers a ride home at night if they needed one. That’s the way it was at Casco 60 years ago — and it’s still that way today. “We’re proud of our employees’ loyalty and dedication to excellence,” said Symmes Township resident Melissa Mangold, who has been the Casco CEO since 2002. “We’ve gone through a lot of changes over 60 years, but one thing hasn’t changed. We were a family then and are still a family today. We try to live by the ‘Golden Rule.’” The company started with “a piece of fabric,” according to its website. In 1959, Alvera and Robert Wolfe, Mangold’s aunt and uncle, established Cincinnati Auto Seat Cover Company (now Casco Manufacturing Solutions), sewing car seat covers and ﬂ oor mats for the American auto industry. Twenty years later, the company was a national industry leader with 200 employees. Tom and Teri Mangold, Melissa’s parents, purchased Casco when Bob and Vera retired in 1977. Melissa had worked for Casco as a teen, went east for a few years, and returned in 1990. Mangold and her sisters, Cheryl Cav-

endish; Penny Herr; and Christi Norton all began working at Casco during vacation breaks as teenagers. Today, Casco remains an original equipment manufacturer specializing in cutting, sealing, and sewing topquality products for soft goods industry leaders. Casco also manufactures its own C-Matt hospital line of mattresses and covers, and recently developed the Casco Prevention Plus Pad, a wheelchair pad designed to help eliminate “hot spots” for wheelchair patients to prevent, as well as heal pressure injuries. The Mangold family, employees and

friends celebrated recently with a party. Casco employees Iva Deese; Bernice Hudler; Jeﬀ Hummeldorf; and Maurice Williams received 25-year service awards. Mangold also announced the establishment of the Thomas W. Mangold scholarship in industrial design at the University of Cincinnati. The scholarship is named after Melissa’s father, now 93. Today Casco is one of a handful of U.S. soft goods manufacturers left in the nation. Most Casco employees are industrial sewing operators who come from three demographics: legal Asian

immigrants with industrial sewing experience, some who struggle with English; former inmates just released from prison; and recovering addicts completing drug and alcohol programs developing career workforce skills. “Casco is a place where you can get a ﬁ rst or second chance to work,” said Mangold. “We’ll work with you and train you. I really feel my role in life is to provide jobs for others.” For more information about Casco products, visit www.cascomfg.com or call the oﬃ ce at (513) 681-0003.

Aeqai celebrates its anniversary with a silent art auction and benefi t Organizers of the 12th annual silent art auction and benefi t on Nov. 14 for aeqai, an international online visual arts journal, deemed it a success. A convivial group of gallerists, art collectors, artists, critics, and arts patrons attended. Board president Cedric Michael Cox said, “It was an amazing evening of great music, food and art. As board president, I am happy to say that this was one of our best years doing the benefi t. As a participating artist, it was an honor to share the wall with such a talented array of artists.” Artists included Jack Wood, Stacie Seuberling, Valerie Shesko, Mary Woodworth, Paula Risch Head, Trish Weeks, Susan Mahan, Mary Barr Rhodes, Frank Herrmann, Frank Satagota, Nancy Nor-

The event met its ﬁ nancial goals. It was held at Pendleton Street Photography owned by Jens G. Rosenkrantz, Jr., in Pendleton Studio Annex in Over-theRhine. The Last Boppers provided music with a jazz feel with Ken Obasi Leslie on keyboards, trumpet and vocals along with Stan Nelson on percussion and drums.
