Cincinnati man is again doing beer-only Lenten fast in 2021 Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

134 apartments and a brewery now have a home in the long abandoned, and newly redeveloped Peters Cartridge Factory in Maineville on Feb. 9. Built in 1916 along the Little Miami River, the Peters Cartridge Company once produced 1,500,000 cartridges per day to supply munitions to Allied soldiers during World Wars I and II.

The redevelopment of the former Peters Cartridge Factory along the Little Miami Scenic Bike Trail has been completed, and the new Peters Cartridge Factory Apartments have already begun leasing. The new 134-unit apartment complex is part of mixed-use development with a brewery and several restaurant and retail spaces. The one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments are housed in four historic industrial buildings Riverside, Grandin, The Lofts, and Hillside - which were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Del Hall, the Cincinnati man who lives on a beer-only diet during Lent, is doing it again in 2021 and raising money for local service industry workers. Hall, an Army veteran and co-owner of 16 Lots Brewing Co., has started “SgtDel’s Virtual Tip Jar” where 100% of all donations will go directly to the staﬀ of bars and restaurants that participate in this year's fast festivities. In 2019, Hall went viral after announcing his beer-only Lenten fast. He lost more than 40 pounds in 40 days, and yes, he consulted a doctor. While some people give up meat or sugar, Hall for the past two years has given up everything but beer during Lent. Since then, he's been using his annual claim-to-fame to raise money. In 2020, Hall lost 50 pounds and raised more than $10,000 for a local charity at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Between his fast in 2019 and his fast in 2020, Hall had regained about 20 pounds. This year, he’s hoping to lose 40 pounds and raise at least $50,000 this year. You can follow his journey on Instagram @SgtDel. Starting on Ash Wednesday and lasting 46 days until Easter, Hall will not eat anything and all calories will come from beer. Donations to “SgtDel’s Virtual Tip Jar” can be made at gofund me.com/sgtdels-virtual-tip-jar. Bars in Greater Cincinnati can contact Hall to sign up to participate and receive a marketing package for his fast. Hall's fast is sponsored by CAI Insurance, Cincy BeerFest, KN8 Print + Design, Bengal Jim’s BTR Tailgate Experience and Chowdown Cincinnati.

Survey says Cincinnati’s taking COVID-19 precautions seriously

A newly released survey shows most Cincinnati area residents are following public health guidelines that could keep them safe from the novel coronavirus. An analysis of the COVID-19 Health Issues Survey, made public Feb. 10, gives these insights: h More than 9 in 10 people (96%) frequently wash their hands. h 9 in 10 (90%) wear masks indoors. h Almost 9 in 10 (89%) use hand sanitizer. h Almost 9 in 10 (89%) maintain social distancing guidelines. h About 7 in 10 (73%) wear masks outdoors. h More than half (58%) follow all ﬁ ve recommendations. Interact for Health, a Norwood-based nonproﬁ t that advocates for and funds health initiatives in 20 counties around Cincinnati, funded the poll late last year. President and CEO O’dell Owens said the results are promising because adherence to the guidelines is imperative. “It is critical as we wait for vaccination rates to increase, and even once we

are vaccinated,” Owens said, “that we continue to practice those behaviors that are simple but eff ective in reducing the transmission of the virus, like wearing masks and washing hands.” The survey also shows that nearly 9 in 10 people (87%) think the pandemic is a signifi cant crisis or serious problem, Interact for Health noted.

BBB: Don’t share your COVID-19 vaccine card on social media Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Have you gotten your COVID-19 vaccine? The Better Business Bureau is warning people against sharing pictures of their vaccination cards on social media. Why? BBB said the information on the card can make people vulnerable to identity theft and can help scammers create phony versions of the cards. Vaccination cards have full names, birthdate information and information about where the vaccine was given. “If your social media privacy settings aren’t set high, you may be giving valu-

decades before it was purchased for redevelopment. “Keeping with the architectural integrity of the Peters Cartridge Factory site was a major goal,” said Ken Schon of Bloomﬁ eld/Schon, which redeveloped the factory. “But even more so, we were determined to remove a blight and create a neighborhood. We have done so with unique living spaces, amenities and even a corner pub.”

all the precautions listed. Those who believe they’re in a high-risk group for catching the virus were more likely to take all the precautions. About 56%, who do not believe they’re in that highrisk group, were less likely to take the ﬁ ve precautions, the analysis shows. The Institute for Policy Research at the University of Cincinnati conducted the poll, contacting 879 adults, including an oversample of Black residents, by

phone. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.3 percentage points. More information is being analyzed and will be released to the public in the coming weeks, said Interact for Health spokeswoman Emily Gresham Wherle. The survey included questions about people’s intent to be vaccinated for COVID-19, but the answers are not yet ﬁ gured.

Prosecutor: Nursing aide indicted after patient dies choking on food Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A former Norwood nursing aide was indicted Feb. 9 after prosecutors said her action caused the death of a patient. Takelia Tearra Cline, 27, of Norwood is charged with patient neglect and in-

voluntary manslaughter in the death of Vickie Harris on March 4, 2020. Harris was 68. The Hamilton County Coroner’s Ofﬁ ce said Cline was responsible for getting Harris her food. Oﬃ cials said Harris required her food to be softened in order for her to eat it. Prosecutors said Cline saw that the

meal had not been prepared properly, but left it in Harris’ room anyway. Harris choked on the food and died, offi cials said. Public records show that Cline held a state license as a “certifi ed nursing aide.” That license expired in October. The prosecutor’s offi ce declined to disclose where Cline was working at the

time of Harris’ death. Cline is scheduled to be arraigned in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court on Feb. 19. Involuntary manslaughter is a felony oﬀ ense punishable by up to ﬁ ve years in prison. The Enquirer was unable to determine if Cline has obtained a lawyer.

Reward oﬀ ered in Madeira store owner shooting Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Feb. 9 (updated Feb. 10). Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. The owner of Madeira Beverage is dead after he was shot during an apparent robbery Feb. 9, police said. Roop Gupta was found shot at his Kenwood Road store just before 8 p.m, police said. He was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center where he succumbed to his injuries. He was 68. Madeira police are searching for a man about 6-feet tall, weighing between 240 and 250 pounds. He was last seen fl eeing the store in a dark vehicle headed north on Kenwood Road. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is off ering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the identifi cation, arrest and conviction of the shooter. "This is an isolated incident and nothing indicates any other area residents are in danger," police said in the statement. Anyone with information can contact the Madeira Police Department at 513272-4214, or the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives at 1888-283-8477 or submit tips online. The last homicide in Maderia hap-

pened in 1984, police said. The city of just over 9,000 people has averaged less than one robbery per year. Between 2016 and 2020, there were only three robberies in the town. "This incident is very unusual and tragic for our community," Lt. Paul Phillips said. "We ask that everyone keep the Gupta family in their thoughts and prayers." In September 2012, Gupta was shot during another robbery at his store, court records show. In that case, William Hart, who was 35 at the time, demanded money from

Gupta and his wife at gunpoint, according to the documents. Hart knocked Gupta's wife into a wine rack before Gupta tried to hit him with a wine bottle. Hart shot Gupta and ﬁ red several shots at his wife as well before leaving empty handed. Hart, who was also charged with robbing two other stores at gunpoint over the course of a month, was sentenced to 17 years in prison. He is still incarcerated at the Toledo Correctional Institution. The Enquirer spoke to Gupta following the shooting in 2012. He said he and his family would stay in the neighbor-

hood despite the attack. "Everyone says this never happens here," Gupta said at the time. "This is a very safe community. They are very, very nice people." Pat Frew remembered hearing the news of that ﬁ rst shooting and how disturbing it was, but he said the Feb. 9 killing is something that just doesn't happen in Maderia. Frew has lived on Cherokee Drive for 30 years and raised his four daughters there. For his family, Madeira Beverage is their corner store. Frew said everyone on the street knows Gupta and his family. Their store sits at the entrance to the neighborhood. Kids catch the school bus right there, he said, and the older ones stop in to buy drinks before walking home after school. "These are decent people and we're all saddened by it," Frew said. "We're all heartbroken for the family. It's a devastating loss for our community. It's hard to believe that someone would resort to this kind of behavior." He noted that Kenwood Road is a major thoroughfare, so Gupta's killer could have come from just about anywhere. As of noon on Feb. 10, no arrests had been announced. A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to help the Gupta family with their expenses during this time: http:// bit.ly/3qcFRaN

Brood X cicadas will hatch in 2021; what does that mean for Cincinnati Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Brood X periodical cicadas, the hefty version of the cicadas Greater Cincinnati sees each year, have been underground for 17 years and ready to reemerge this summer. This year will mark the reemergence after 17 years of Brood X, or the Great Eastern Brood, of periodical cicadas – those large, winged, kind of scary-looking but mostly harmless ﬂ ying insects known for their almost deafening buzz. The last emergence was in 2004. Greater Cincinnati won’t be alone in our suﬀ ering.

Brood X cicada map One of the largest broods of periodical cicadas in the nation, Brood X will emerge this spring in 15 states as well as Washington, D.C., the Detroit Free Press said: h Delaware h Georgia h Illinois h Indiana h Kentucky h Maryland h Michigan h North Carolina h New Jersey h New York h Ohio h Pennsylvania h Tennessee h Virginia h West Virginia h Washington, D.C. The University of Kentucky said there are 15 broods of periodical cicadas in the United States and six of those occur in Kentucky. Brood X is the only periodical cicadas group that impacts Northern Kentucky. Last year, we saw a bit of Brood X make their way to the surface early. “The emergence of these stragglers will be nothing like we will see next year when Brood X will emerge and millions of the red-eyed insects make their appearance,” Gene Kritsky, dean of behavioral and natural sciences at Mount St. Joseph University, told The Enquirer last summer.

method of counting the number of times deciduous trees – the kind that lose their leaves in the winter – regrow their leaves, said John Cooley, an entomologist at the University of Connecticut who studies periodical cicadas. “The cicadas come out after the ‘right’ number,” he said. “Whatever the speciﬁ c change is, the cicadas can detect that.” The bugs will even, in unison, postpone their emergence for a day or two if the weather is rainy or otherwise uncooperative, he said.

Why now?

How long do cicadas last?

We don’t exactly know why the cicadas pick 17 years for their emergence cycle, the Detroit Free Press reported. From underground, periodical cicadas have some

Once the ground hits 64 degrees — usually in late April or early May — the cicadas will begin to emerge. They’ll be active through June in Greater Cincinnati, bumping into your windows and terrorizing any-

one outside. Expect this brood to be noisy. That buzzing is a mating call. “Adults climb the trees beneath which they developed or fl y to new trees where males serenade females with cacophonous songs only appreciated by another cicada,” Joe Boggs of Buckeye Yard and Garden Online said. Periodical cicadas can also damage trees and woody ornamental bushes. Females slit twigs to insert batches of eggs after mating. Those twigs break at these weak spots and are left to dangle, turn brown and die, UK offi cials said. This “pruning” can adversely aff ect the developing structure of small trees but is typically ok for large trees. The Detroit Free Press contributed to this article.

Food shortages, fears boost business for urban farmers Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The phone call came this past March. The woman on the other end of the line was having trouble fi nding produce. Empty shelves because of the coronavirus pandemic. She wanted to know if April Pandora had any to sell. “They needed produce, and we had it,” said Pandora, who owns and operates an organic urban farm in Cincinnati. “That’s what we do.” As small businesses around the nation are suff ering the eff ects of the coronavirus pandemic, urban farmers like Pandora are actually seeing a boost in sales as well as heightened interest in their niche part of the region’s agricultural system. People are more concerned with their health, so there’s a new demand for fresh, locally grown food. And when panic buyers emptied supermarket shelves, it was a wakeup call. That’s not to say farmers are not struggling during the pandemic. In fact, some have had to destroy tens of thousands of pounds of fresh food because their usual customers – hotels, schools and restaurants – are doing less business or are shut down completely. But for others, like Pandora, who runs the Avondale-based Eden Urban Gardens, LLC, business is booming. “People have realized how fragile our food systems really are,” Pandora said. “People got scared. People realized the grocery store only has a two- to threeday supply of food.”

About the farms Eden Urban Gardens, LLCis a certiﬁ ed organic farm with small plots in Avondale, North Avondale and Pleasant Ridge. The farm grows and sells herbs, shoots, vegetables and fruits.

‘Running out of food’ During World War I, the government called on Americans to grow whatever they could in their yards to help combat food scarcity. First called War Gardens and then Victory Gardens, the movement grew so popular during World War II that in 1944, community gardeners produced nearly 40% of all the fruits and vegetables consumed in the U.S., according to the History channel. When the coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S. in 2020, gardening again rose to the fore, with seed companies telling The Enquirer in March they were doing 10 to 15 times their normal amount of business. It’s diffi cult to quantify the boom, but multiple local farmers told The Enquirer business is up as a result of the pandemic. Sharonville urban farmer Andy Gorman, who also manages the Deerfi eld Farmers’ Market, said every farmer he knows has experienced an uptick in business. If he had to guess, Gorman would say demand for his produce at Cincy Urban Farm is up about 30%. Gorman said he specifi cally got new customers after the fi rst round of stimulus checks. People told him they were intentionally spending the money locally to help support all the small businesses they knew were struggling. Alex Otto, assistant farm manager for Our Harvest Cooperative, which has farms in College Hill and Morrow, Ohio, said he’s noticed a 10% or 15% increase in business over the past year or so, in part because people want control over their food supply and they want that personal connection that comes with shopping local. “It’s proved a lot of our theories correct,” Otto said, “that in a crisis, it’s the community that steps in to have your back. The idea that we should have relationships with the people that grow our food just makes so much sense. … If there’s ever issues with food shortage, you literally have the number of the person that’s growing your food.” Mary Hutten, who manages the Lettuce Eat Well farmers’ market in Cheviot, said that in 2020, demand was so high that some of her farmers ran out and had nothing left to sell at the market. Hutten attends national market meetings, and that story is common, she said. “We’re running out of food,” she said. “But I don’t want that to be alarming – I think this is a good thing to happen. People are doing what I’ve wanted them to do for years. I wanted them to take responsibility for their food supply.”

Not your typical farm If you’re picturing a traditional farm with expansive fi elds, rolling hills, tractors, combines, grain silos and barns, you are way off . Eden Urban Gardens is set on a regular Cincinnati street, just like any other in the city. There are houses and apartments and then, on one plot of land, Eden Urban Gardens. On this plot, instead of a manicured front lawn with fl owers and bushes,

Eden Urban Gardens sells at local farmers’ markets and also has a subscription service for regular produce deliveries in select Cincinnati neighborhoods. For more information, visit the farm’s Facebook page.

there are long garden beds with spearmint, oregano, lettuce and radishes. Instead of a house, there’s a high tunnel, a 30-foot by 48-foot enclosure that protects plants from the elements and helps extend the growing season. Part of the calling of urban farming is to turn otherwise-unwanted land into productive space. This plot of land was vacant until Pandora bought it at auction. Now, with this plot plus one other and a small garden at her house, Pandora is farming just over half an acre. In 2020, Eden Urban Gardens grew about 1,575 pounds of produce. And that was before the high tunnel, which was just installed in December and will allow an extra 2,000 pounds every year. For context, 2,000 pounds is one ton. “Are we going to feed 20,000 people with our farm? No, but we’re not trying to,” Pandora said. “We are partners and part of the local food system.” The USDA estimates that worldwide, about 15% of food is grown in urban areas. USDA service centers across the country are hearing from people who are starting to grow their own food because of the pandemic, according to a spokesperson, but it's unclear how many of those new growers are in urban areas. In general, the spokesperson said, the percentage of urban-grown food is expected to increase as most of the world's population resides in cities. The benefi ts of urban farming, according to local farmers, include more nutrient-rich food, more money circulating in the local economy and more stability in the local food system. If there’s a disruption in the national or global supply chains – a threat that came up during the coronavirus pandemic – local farmers would still be able to provide food for local residents. The ideal solution is to have a balance of local, national and international food sources, said Michaela Oldfi eld, director of the Greater Cincinnati Regional Food Policy Council for Green Umbrella. Green Umbrella is a collaborative organization focused on sustainability in the Cincinnati region. With a mix of sources, there’s plenty of variety in what’s available, Oldfi eld said, and if there’s a problem with any one source of food, the region will still be

well supplied by the other sources.

‘Standard suburban kid’ Gorman, the Sharonville farmer, said he didn’t even have a garden as a child. He grew up in Springdale and was a “standard suburban kid.” Then in 2012, he switched to a plantbased diet, and he started to get more interested in where his food was coming from. He built one raised garden bed in his front yard, then he built a couple more. Fast forward to today, and Gorman’s entire yard is covered with garden beds. He bought a small strip of empty land next to his house, and he uses two small patches of space at a local farm just up the road in West Chester. Gorman’s home/farm is right across the street from Sharonville Elementary School, and he loves that young students see him out working. He loves when they stop and ask him questions and he gets to teach them a little bit about gardening. He builds his beds right up to the edge of his property and lets people pick tomatoes from the sidewalk. “My whole thing is to inspire people, whether it’s just to grow one tomato plant or to add a raised bed to their landscaping,” he said. “I just want people to get their hands dirty. If I can inspire one person a year, I’m happy.” Pandora started her farm in 2016 with a spade, a trowel, a hoe and a 20-yearold truck, she said. It’s hard work, physically exhausting, and for as many as there are who support her mission, she also runs into opposition. There are people who don’t like the way it looks to have a farm in the middle of a residential street, she said, or who think the food should be free, like a community garden, even though the farm is how Pandora supports her family. More than once, Pandora said, people have called the city to report her for farming her land, thinking she’s breaking the law. But those troubles pale in comparison to the satisfaction Pandora gets from farming her land and providing fresh food for her family and her Cincinnati neighbors. And little by little, especially lately,

Interested in starting your own garden or farm? Cincinnati's city code allows gardens – less than 20,000 square feet of land – in all zoning districts. Farms – 20,000 square feet or more of cultivated land – are also allowed with "conditional use approval" according to the code. That approval is designed to address any potential adverse eff ects a farm might have on the immediate neighborhood. Raising farm animals is subject to diff erent rules governing the number of animals and their various shelters. It's important to note this code only applies to the city of Cincinnati. If you live elsewhere, check the zoning rules for your specifi c jurisdiction. Urban farmers also have to follow any state/ federal laws. The Civic Garden Center of Greater Cincinnati can be a starting point for new gardeners, with classes and a horticultural library. More information is available online at civicgardencenter.org.

Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making mortgage payments. More than 1 million seniors have taken advantage of this “retirement secret.”

It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 45% of their total net worth. And with interest rates near all-time lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most out of your built-up equity. But, many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period. According to new statistics from the mortgage industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.19 trillion dollars* of unused home equity. Not only are people living longer

misconceptions. For example, a lot of people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a HECM loan, which is not the case. In fact, one key advantage of a HECM is that the proceeds will first be used to pay off any existing liens on the property, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who might be better off with a HECM loan don’t even bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve heard. In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s

With home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted when looking for the best long-term outcome. All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement. It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required with a government-insured HECM loan; however the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees. Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement. Although today’s HECM loans have been improved to provide even greater financial protection for homeowners, there are still many

number one HECM lender, found that over 98% of their clients are satisfied with their loans. While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners - especially in times like these. The cash from a HECM loan can be used for almost any purpose. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills or helping other family members. Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a safety net for financial emergencies.

Although these costs may be substantial, AAG does not establish an escrow account for these payments. However, a set-aside account can be set up for taxes and insurance, and in some cases may be required. Not all interest on a reverse mortgage is taxdeductible and to the extent that it is, such deduction is not available until the loan is partially or fully repaid. AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. AAG charges interest on the balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance.

volved in the theft of a U-Haul truck in Blue Ash last month. Between Jan. 22 and 23, at least two suspects stole a truck from the U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer at the 8900 block of Blue Ash Road and used it to haul stolen items from the iStorage facility at 2201 Moellering Ave. in South Fair-

A total of three vehicles were caught by storage facility surveillance including the Dodge, the U-Haul truck and a Chevrolet Monte Carlo that is spray-

Tips to help a young service member save money Allworth Advice Amy Wagner & Nathan Bachrach Guest columnists

Question: Michael in Campbell County: My son is 20 and joined the military last summer. Any suggestions for how he should set up his TSP account? A: The TSP – or “Thrift Savings Account” – is basically the government’s version of a private-sector company’s 401(k) plan for federal employees (including military). But, in our eyes, the TSP has two main advantages over a 401(k): simplicity and low expenses. As opposed to a 401(k) plan that can provide an overwhelming number of investment options, the TSP oﬀ ers just ﬁ ve individual funds (denoted simply by the letter of the alphabet) and lifecycle funds (these automatically adjust an

investment mix depending on the retirement year). Additionally, the cost of investing is quite low – according to website tsp.gov, as of 2019, the average net expense for TSP participants was about 42 cents for every $1,000 invested (which is much lower than what you’ll typically ﬁ nd in a 401(k) plan). Our No. 1 recommendation is to make sure he gets his match – because not all service members do. Uncle Sam provides a dollar-for-dollar match on the ﬁ rst 5% of salary contributions. Yet, according to the MilitaryTimes, of the nearly 860,000 service members participating in the TSP, about 44% are not contributing enough to get this free money! So, your son should save at least 5% of his basic salary. Also, because he’s young and likely in a low tax bracket, we recommend he consider taking advantage of the Roth version of TSP. Just like a Roth 401(k), there are no upfront tax breaks on contributions, but earnings grow tax-free and withdrawals are tax-free once he

turns 591⁄ 2. Here’s The Allworth Advice: While we don’t know anything about his l situation and ﬁ nancial goals, he has one thing going for him – time. He’s young with decades to go before retirement, meaning he can be more stock-heavy. He’ll have plenty of time to ride out the ups and downs of the stock market Q: Carla from Oakley: How can I avoid bank overdraft fees? A: If you’ve opted in to an “overdraft protection” program, consider opting out. (Overdraft protection allows a transaction to go through even if you don’t have the money – but then the bank charges you for essentially picking up the tab.) However, just understand that once you opt out and try to use your debit card, your card will be declined if your account doesn’t have enough funds (which we believe is still better than being charged a fee). And they’ll likely still charge an overdraft fee on recurring bills. Some banks oﬀ er a service that links a savings account or credit card to your

checking account, so if there are insuffi cient funds, the checking account will pull from these other accounts. Some banks even off er overdraft-free accounts. Consider inquiring about both options. The Allworth Advice is that, at the end of the day, this comes down to you making the eff ort to pay more attention to your checking account. If it helps, ask your bank if it can send text alerts if your account falls below a certain threshold. Every week, Allworth Financial’s Nathan Bachrach and Amy Wagner answer your questions.

Cincinnati’s lost founding father never saw settlement Jeff Suess Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

John Filson was one of the founding fathers of Cincinnati, but he never saw it. In 1788, he was a partner in a venture to start up a settlement along the Ohio River. Filson had completed the initial survey of the basin where Cincinnati would later set and had contributed a name. He called it Losantiville. Then, Filson disappeared in the wilderness near the Great Miami River before the ﬁ rst settlers arrived. Much of what is known of Filson’s early life has been cobbled together with conjecture. It is supposed he was born about 1747 (one biography says 1753) in Chester County, Pennsylvania. A historic register lists a John Filson as an ensign with the Pennsylvania 1st Regiment Flying Camp during the Revolutionary War who was injured and taken prisoner during the Battle of Fort Washington in New York in 1776. The portrait of Filson is based on a sketch found on the ﬂ yleaf of a book with his name next to it. He was a teacher and surveyor in Pennsylvania. In about 1782 he acquired some land in Kentucky, which was then part of Virginia. He relocated to Lexington where he taught school and traveled throughout the region, chronicling his meetings with the early settlers, including a fellow called Daniel Boone. In 1784, Filson published the book “The Discovery, Settlement and Present State of Kentucke” along with an invaluable map. “When I visited Kentucke, I found it so far to exceed my expectations, although great, that I concluded it was a pity; that the world had not adequate information of it,” Filson wrote. “I conceived that a proper description, and map of it, were objects highly interesting to the United States…” The book and map sold for $1.50. There were 1,500 sold. Filson asked George Washington to write a letter for a second edition, but the general politely declined because the map wasn’t based on surveys. The most remarkable part of the book was the appendix, containing “The Adventures of Col. Daniel Boon” (the

spelling of his name hadn’t been formalized). Filson had listened to Boone’s stories and “published them from his own mouth.” The book established Boone’s legend, tales of rescuing his daughter and two women who had been abducted by Shawnee warriors, of being captured and adopted into a Shawnee tribe, of his escape and defense of Fort Boonesborough and of the defeat at Blue Licks, the last major battle of the Revolutionary War.

Founding Losantiville Filson entered a partnership with Mathias Denman and Col. Robert Patterson in August 1788 to start a new settlement. Denman had purchased 747 acres from John Cleves Symmes, who owned more than 300,000 acres in what is now Hamilton, Butler and Warren counties. Denman was a land prospector from New Jersey, Patterson a colonel in the Kentucky militia who had helped establish Lexington. Filson was brought in as a surveyor with the hope that he could write something to drum up interest from prospective settlers. They placed an ad in the Kentucky Gazette: “The subscribers, being proprietors of a tract of land opposite the

mouth of the Licking river, on the northwest side of the Ohio, have determined to lay oﬀ a town upon that excellent location. The local and natural advantages speak its prosperity, being equal if not superior to any on the banks of the Ohio between the Miamis. ...” Filson concocted the name Losantiville from several languages (“L” for Licking, “os” is Latin for mouth, “anti” is Greek for opposite and “ville” is French for city), meaning “city opposite the mouth of the Licking River.” Historian Lewis Collins called Losantiville “a pedagogical and unmusical name” and wrote, “The invention of such a name was positively cruel in Mr. Filson; we hope it had no connection to his early death.” On or near Oct. 1, 1788, Filson accompanied Symmes to survey more of the territory, including what would become North Bend. Filson became separated from the party and was left alone in the woods near the Great Miami River. He was never seen again. Everyone presumed he was killed by hostile Shawnee, but his body was never found. Israel Ludlow replaced Filson as partner and surveyor of Losantiville. Flatboats arrived at the Ohio River shore on Dec. 28, 1788. Ludlow made his own

plan of the new settlement, and that is what was used. In 1790, Gen. Arthur St. Clair, the president of the Northwest Territory, came to inspect the new Fort Washington. He disliked the name Losantiville and offi cially named the settlement Cincinnati after the Society of the Cincinnati, an organization of Continental Army offi cers that took inspiration from Roman leader Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, who gave up power to return to farming. Washington was called the American Cincinnatus. “The governor has made Losantiville, the county town, by the name of Cincinnati, so that Losantiville will become extinct,” Symmes wrote. Filson is remembered more as the fi rst Kentucky historian than for his role in founding Cincinnati. The Filson Historical Society in Louisville is named for him. But there is a tiny lane off Celestial Street in Mount Adams called Filson Place with an incredible view of downtown Cincinnati.

SPORTS High school quarterbacks trained by Tony Pike make Elite 11 Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Many of the country’s best quarterbacks have been selected and invited to a premier quarterback competition on the regional level, with an opportunity to advance to a national stage that could enhance their recruitment. The Elite 11 Regional competitions will be held from March through early June. Locally, St. Xavier’s Brogan McCaughey, Moeller’s Noah Geselbracht and Lawrenceburg’s Garrett Yoon have all been invited to the spring event, which could lead them to the Elite 11 fi nals in the summer. Shortly after St. Xavier won the Ohio Division I championship, McCaughey was followed on social media by the Elite 11 director. It’s not the fi rst time a St. Xavier quarterback has been selected. “Sean (Cliff ord of Penn State) went a few years ago and got into the Top 11 (fi nals) so it’s pretty impressive,” McCaughey said. All three Elite 11 invitees are trained by former Cincinnati Bearcat Tony Pike who led UC to visits to the Orange and Sugar Bowls in 2008 and 2009 and briefl y played in the NFL for the Carolina Panthers. The Reading High School legend is now a radio analyst for iHeart Media while training quarterbacks on the side including Wisconsin’s Chase Wolf (St. Xavier). Wolf won an Elite 11 regional in 2017 in Cleveland. The Elite 11 is a who’s who of quarterbacks. Twenty-four of the NFL’s 32 current starters and 66 of 85 signal-callers on NFL rosters have been part of the event. Of the 64 Power Five quarterbacks, 61 went to the Elite 11, as did 13 of the last 14 Heisman Trophy quarterbacks. The names include Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Kyler Murray, Cam Newton, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger and Tua Tagovailoa. “You look at some of the guys that went to it and the numbers they’ve produced at the NFL level and college scholarship level, it’s prestigious to get that invite,” Pike said. “It’s even more impressive this year because recruiting’s been diff erent and how you’ve been viewed is diff erent. These guys are piling over a bunch of tape, obviously. To be selected is defi nitely a big honor this year.” Pike plans to investigate what drills

may be run at the Elite 11 so he can give his star pupils a heads-up. For example, individual schools may have set offenses that may not involve a three or ﬁ ve-step drop a quarterback could take in a traditional setting.

Brogan McCaughey McCaughey has been to several college camps, but this will be the fi rst event he’s gone to involving some of the nation’s fi nest. Though his family has Tampa Bay ties and he’s glad the Buccaneers won the Super Bowl, McCaughey’s favorite pro is Kansas City’s Mahomes. “His style of play is so unique,” the 6foot-2, 203-pound McCaughey said. Pike is still bullish on the Bomber quarterback and thinks more eye-popping numbers are to come. As a junior in his fi rst varsity season, he threw for 2,708 yards in the 10 games he played with 28 touchdowns. He threw for a rec-

ord 556 yards against Cleveland St. Ignatius and fi nished his season with four touchdown passes in the fi rst quarter in St. Xavier’s blow-out of Pickerington Central for the championship. “When you have a chance to win a state title, do the Elite 11 in between junior and senior year and then come back with what should be a really good team next year, I think he’s going to compile a lot this off season,” Pike said. “His feet are phenomenal and he’s got such an understanding of what (St. Xavier offensive coordinator) Andrew Coverdale’s doing in that off ense.”

Noah Geselbracht At 6-foot-6, Moeller’s Geselbracht can see over the line like Pike was able to in his heyday. He didn’t start until later in the year for coach Mark Elder but threw for 1,036 yards and eight touchSee QUARTERBACKS , Page 2B

OHSAA ice hockey bracket is revealed Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Ohio High School Athletic Association unveiled the 2021 ice hockey tournament bracket and also revealed the location of the state tournament that will be played on March 13 and 14. The 2021 ice hockey state tournament will take place at the OhioHealth Ice Haus, a smaller rink at Nationwide Arena that serves as the practice ice for the Columbus Blue Jackets. The state tournament in years past had taken place at the main ice of Nationwide Arena, but that location was scrapped due to COVID-19 restrictions. In the tournament bracket, six Greater Cincinnati high schools were placed with Talawanda and Moeller as the

area’s highest seeds. Sycamore, St. Xavier, Mason and Springboro will also compete in the postseason tournament. Talawanda drew the No. 4 seed after being the only local school to not just appear in the top 10 of a state poll, but receive votes in every coaches poll. The Braves reached as high as No.6 in the polls before falling out of the top 10, but still receiving votes, in the ﬁ nal poll released Feb. 10. Talawanda drew a ﬁ rst round bye and will open its tournament run on Feb. 21 against the winner of No. 17 Gahanna Lincoln and No. 20 Washington Kilbourne. Moeller, who also had poll votes, will be the No. 6 seed and will wait with a bye for the winner of No. 14 Springboro and No. 15 Bishop Watterson.

Sycamore, the No. 23 seed, will meet No. 12 New Albany on Feb. 19 for the right to move on and face the Columbus District’s top seed, St. Charles. In the fi nal local matchup, No. 10 St. Xavier and No. 21 Mason will play. Should the Comets or the Bombers beat No. 5 Olentangy Orange, Talawanda would be their most likely opponent in the third round. The district fi nals are scheduled for March 6 with the winner advancing to the state tournament. The Columbus District winner will play the Brooklyn West District winner in the state semifi nal. The Brooklyn West District is headlined by state No. 1 Lakewood St. Edward and state No. 4 Cleveland St. Ignatius. A greater Cincinnati school hasn’t advanced to the state tournament since St. Xavier in 2008.

The Kansas City Royals acquired outfi elder and former Madeira High School standout Andrew Benintendi as part of a three-team deal with the Boston Red Sox and the New York Mets, MLB.com confi rmed Feb. 10. Benintendi had been the subject of trade rumors throughout the off season. Benintendi, 26, had four hits and 11 walks in 52 plate appearances over 14

games in 202. He missed most of the season with a strained rib cage. After debuting for the Red Sox in Aug. 2016, Benintendi started the 2017 season with Boston and hit .271 with 20 home runs and 90 RBI - ﬁ nishing second in American League Rookie of the Year voting. In 2018, Benintendi hit .290 with 16 homers, 87 RBIs and 103 runs scored with 21 stolen bases and an OPS of .830. In 2019, he hit .266 with 13 homers and

68 RBIs. He ﬁ nished a record-setting career at Madeira in 2013 and played two years at Arkansas before being selected seventh overall by the Red Sox in 2015. Benintendi hired agent Casey Close of Excel Sports Management in 2018. Excel also represents former Middletown High School standout Kyle Schwarber, who agreed last week to a one-year deal with the Washington Nationals.

His best game was a 21-for-24 performance in a postseason win over Hamilton with 302 yards passing for two scores. “He’s got the height and he’s got a super strong arm,” Pike said. “His accuracy has improved from when I started working with him toward the end of last season. His footwork’s gotten much faster. He’s starting to understand when his lower body matches what his upper body can do with his height he can really drive the ball and push it downﬁ eld a long way.” Geselbracht also works with Chad Murphy, who was with Moeller in 2019 and coached at Winton Woods this season under Andre Parker. “That’s where I want to be someday,” Geselbracht said of the notable quarterbacks who have ﬂ ourished after attending an Elite 11 competition. “That’s always the goal, the dream. To know this could be the place to start, I’m very thankful I got invited to one of these types of combines or camps.” Formerly a Moeller basketball player, coach Carl Kremer and football coach Mark Elder agreed Geselbracht should

Yoon might need to stand high in his cleats to reach 6-feet but commands much respect in Indiana for his exploits with the Lawrenceburg Tigers. In 13 games, he threw for 2,252 yards and 27 touchdowns, while running for 1,083 and 13 scores. “He puts up video game numbers with how well he can run the ball and throw it,” Pike said. “He’s kind of a victim of what you saw with Cameron Hergott (another Pike student) at Beechwood where they blow so many teams out that sometimes his numbers get misconstrued because he’s not playing in a half or they’re just running the ball, pounding the rock. He’s got a huge upside.” Pike thinks Yoon will thrive in the competition setting of the Elite 11. Yoon also is a pretty good basketball guard for Lawrenceburg. Yoon, like St. Xavier’s

We’ve got that run game with power options, then we can spread them out and run or pass. That really helps us out.” McCaughey and Yoon are slated to attend the regional event May 2 at Grand Park in Indianapolis, with Geselbracht pinpointing a similar event May 16 in Nashville.

Advisors are Kelli Candella, Kim Homer, Kelly Wing, and Jill Dulgeroﬀ . Diane Nichols, Madeira City Schools

Lower School students at Springer School and Center hosted a very special visiting author in January when the parent of a classmate shared her newly published children’s book, Roller Coaster Shmoller Coaster. With daughter Skye listening, Ashlee Boymel read her book and shared the process of fi nding an illustrator, responding to advice from an editor, and shepherding the project to its fi nal form as a paperback book. Illustrated in rich colors with a collage look, the book connects the ups and downs we encounter in life with those on a roller coaster and encourages children to weather the downs, knowing that an upswing is on the horizon. The choice we all have in how we respond to the downs is an integral part of the story. “When I wrote this story, my intent was to help my own kids manage their strong emotions, develop resilience, and to verbalize their feelings,” remarked Boymel. “The story became more meaningful to me when I began sharing it with students. One student noted that she likes the downs on a roller coaster - that it was not something to be endured but to be enjoyed despite the discomfort. I think that can apply to life as well.” “It was special to have my mom come and read her book,” said daughter Skye. “I’m very proud of her for writing Roller Coaster Shmoller Coaster. For me it’s a story about things that are happening at school and at home” Boymel holds a master’s degree in social work, and thinks of herself as an artist fi rst, but she has been writing for years and is currently working on a novel. Her experience in mental health informs her art and writing. She wrote an early version of the roller coaster story in January 2020. “With the COVID-19 lockdown beginning in March,” she said, “I thought this is a story that needs to get out in the world. The response I’ve received from adults has been wonderful. They have found it to be an engaging and concrete tool to create dialogue with their children.” Carole Barnhart, Springer School and Center

Madeira High Schoolers’ Message of Hope Madeira High School (MHS) students are sending a message of hope they want every one of their classmates to hear, “We’re a group of people who will listen, who believe in the power of kindness, and who knows that your life matters.” The students are working to promote mental health wellness and suicide prevention in Madeira High School and the Madeira community. Nominated by their peers, they comprise the school’s Hope (Hold On Persuade Empower) Squad - a group of Grade 9-12 students who are nominated by their peers for being empathetic listeners that peers feel they can go to in a time of crisis. Training students to be Hope Squad members is part of the mental health component of the Madeira City School District’s counseling plan. The 18 student members attend weekly meetings where they are trained by MHS Hope Squad advisors. Members also had the chance to attend the National Hope Squad Conference virtually in October. Members are the eyes and ears of their school as they watch out for fellow students in any kind of distress. By recognizing the warning signs of suicide and how to offer hope and understanding to ﬁ nd troubled classmates help, they will let an adult know if they hear or see something that concerns them. Planning for this year’s Hope Week started in November. “This year was an added challenge because we had to have back-up plans for all of our activities in case we weren’t learning in-person,” stated advisor Kelli Candela. “We also had to think about how we could do our best to include in-person and remote learners so as many people as possible could participate and feel included. It took a lot of preparation and creativity, but the students did an amazing job executing their plans.” Each display, activity, and communication was planned to send the same message, ‘You are Brave. You are Strong. You are Not Alone.’ The second annual MHS Hope Squad Week started on Jan. 19. Students painted approximately 150-yard signs they put up around the school and community. Messages like ‘Choose Joy’ and ‘You are Loved’ greeted students as they arrived at school or walked the halls to class. During the week there was also a scavenger hunt via a QR code with a mental health resource and a new clue at each spot. Kindness Cards were given to every MHS student, stickers and suicide prevention business cards were handed out by Hope Squad morning greeters, and daily challenges and self-care tips were heard on morning announcements. The MHS Hope Squad also reaches out through social media with messages to their peers. Luke Browning wrote, “You may be in a dark place right now but I promise that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.” Lindsey Dickess told her peers, “You are important

Madeira Schools release annual Quality Profi le The Madeira City School District released its eighth annual Quality Profi le (QP), a compilation of accomplishments from the 2019-2020 school year in areas most important to the Madeira community. Madeira began producing the yearly QP in 2012 along with Forest Hills, Indian Hill, Loveland, Mariemont, Mason, Milford, Oak Hills, Sycamore, and Wyoming school districts. Participating schools surveyed residents to determine factors that were not represented on the state’s report card that they valued in their child’s education. The Madeira community-ranked Academics, Arts, Student Leadership & Activities, Fiscal Stewardship, Parent & Community Involvement, Student Services, and Staff & District Recognitions as most signifi cant. Those areas are the foundation for Madeira’s Quality Profi les. A few of the highlights included in the most recent school year recap are; the opening of Madeira Elementary School’s new STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) lab, the seventh-grade classes at Madeira Middle School’s eighth annual Empty Bowls event which raises money and awareness for the fi ght against homelessness, poverty, and hunger, and Madeira High School’s fi rst school-based, peer-to-peer, suicide prevention program Hope Squad. The Quality Profi le is supported by the Alliance for High Quality Education - an educational consortium that works to improve educational opportunities for students and represents member districts on matters of educational policy and funding. Today nearly 100 school districts throughout the state produce their own annual QP. Madeira’s eight Quality Profi les with interactive links can be found at www.madeiracityschools.org/Welcome/Our Quality Profi le. Diane Nichols, Madeira City Schools

INDIAN HILL - Nine student-athletes at Cincinnati Country Day School conﬁ rmed their intent to play at least one sport at the collegiate level next school year. “National Signing Day symbolizes the culmination of years of dedication, determination, and resilience put forth by not only these seniors but also their families and coaches,” said Dennis Coyle, athletic director. “We are all incredibly proud of these students and cannot wait to see what the future has in store for them.” Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the school will not host a Signing Day event on campus this year but plans to host an event for these student-athletes and their families later this spring. “At Country Day, we strive every day to help our students discover their own strengths to be the best versions of themselves while supporting their peers to do the same. This mindset deﬁ nitely holds true in our athletics program,” continued Coyle. “I have no doubt that these student-athletes will carry this mentality with them and continue to be exemplary leaders in their

Indian Hill High School robotics students earn P&G grant Indian Hill High School (IHHS) congratulates the IHHS Robotics Team for earning a $900 grant from P&G. The funds will allow students to invest in supplies to expand and improve the Robotics Team by purchasing needed supplies, increasing student involvement, and allowing for further outreach to Indian Hill Middle School student in order to promote involvement in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). “We believe that the Robotics Club at Indian Hill is one of the best catalysts for STEM outreach for lower grade levels,” said IHHS student Caleb Zender, who was instrumental in applying for the grant. “Through community outreach within the District, the money from the P&G CoRE Grant will be used not only to purchase much needed materials and parts for the IHHS VEX teams, but also to give us the opportunity to get younger students more hands-on with STEM, even as far down as the sixth grade with their new robotics team.” “The Robotics Club has grown sub-

stantially over the past four years,” said IHHS Project Lead the Way Teacher Myrtis Smith. “Last year we launched two Indian Hill Middle School teams for seventh and eighth grade. This year we expanded the club to include sixth graders. “It is exciting to have six teams and more than 60 students being served. The challenge becomes having enough supplies and up-to-date equipment to keep the teams competitive. The funding we’ve received from the Indian Hill Boosters and now P&G goes a long way to help supplement the dues and fundrais-

Jam session: ‘I think of orange marmalade as sunshine in a jar’ Classic orange marmalade Citrus fruits have a naturally high amount of pectin, so there’s no commercial pectin needed. Now if all you have are oranges with seeds, just remove seeds. I like thinner skin/peel juice oranges, less expensive than navel oranges which have thicker peels. Ingredients 4 large seedless juice oranges, 3 pounds or so/about 10 cups after slicing 2 large lemons or 3 medium lemons 8 cups sugar 8 cups water Instructions Wash and dry oranges and lemons. Cut both in half crosswise. Then cut in very thin half moon slices. Discard seeds. Place sliced fruit and their juices into a big pot. Add 8 cups water and bring mixture to a boil, stirring often. Remove from heat, stir in sugar until dissolved.

Cover and allow to stand overnight/12 hours or so at room temperature. This gives the fruit peel time to soften well. Bring mixture back to a boil.

Guess what I woke up wanting to make today? Orange marmalade! All because of the windfall of thinskinned, super juicy oranges friends Bob and Bert brought me. If you’ve never made orange marmalade, I hope this recipe makes you want to try. I’ve actually got two recipes for you: one a classic stove top recipe and another cooked in the crockpot. Here’s the deal: check out the price of a jar of real orange marmalade made from oranges, lemons and sugar (no high fructose corn syrup or other additives). You’ll experience sticker shock. Orange marmalade is not hard to make. Don’t let the large amount of sugar throw you. Remember, you’ll be eating small spoonfuls (hopefully). And the lovely citrus aroma that

Place a small amount on saucer and refrigerate until cool and just slightly ﬁ rm. It shouldn’t be runny, or hard. If runny, cook a bit longer – if hard, add a bit more water. Pour into jars, seal and let cool to room temperature.

Thinly cut oranges for marmalade.

Now I will tell you the marmalade may be a bit loose the ﬁ rst day or so, but will set up nicely. Store in refrigerator up to 3 months, or freeze up to 6 months.

wafts from the pot as you cook the marmalade will convince you all’s right in your world. I think of orange marmalade as sunshine in a jar. Now I do have a yummy recipe for orange marmalade salad dressing and a tasty chicken dish with an orange marmalade sauce. Let me know if you want those, too. OK are you ready for a “jammin” session? Here you go!

Prefer to can them for the pantry? Check out my site for instructions. Cook in crockpot Add sliced oranges, lemons and water to slow cooker. Cook, covered, on high 2 hours. Add sugar. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook 6 hours or so, stirring every hour so mixture doesn’t burn. Remove lid, return to high and cook another 2 hours, stirring often, or until marmalade thickens.

COMMUNITY NEWS Eastern Hills Exchange Club presents a check to COCA to help prevent child abuse The Eastern Hills Exchange Club presented a check for $1,000 to The Cincinnati Council on Child Abuse Prevention at their November Meeting. This was one of several checks for $1,000 given this year to the following organizations: Inter Parish Ministries, M.E. Lyons YMCA, The Literacy Network, CASA for Clermont Kids, Anderson Foundation for Parks and Recreations, Jack’s Closet, Pray-Hope-Believe Foundation, Pro Kids, Nest Learning Center, LaSoup, and Beech Acres Parenting Center. The funds were raised at the club’s 13th annual golf outing held at the Vineyard golf course in October. Although the COVID-19 pandemic eliminated a shotgun start and canceled the award ceremony, 128 golfers participated at designated tee times. A silent raﬄ e and Bid & Buy were held, and winners were able to pick up their prizes at the end of their rounds. Through the years, this event has raised over $75,000 to help organizations in the Greater Cincinnati area. Our next outing is scheduled for Friday Oct. 1, 2021. The Eastern Hills Exchange Club is part of a National Community Service Organization making communities better places to live through projects focusing on Americanism, Youth, Community Service and our National Project of Child Abuse Prevention.

Mason resident achieves 50-year milestone anniversary Members of the Ohio N chapter of the National T.T.T. Society celebrate the 50-year membership of Anne Dorward of Mason. Dorward joined the Society in 1971 after moving to the area in 1968. She was invited to join the chapter by friends of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Kenwood. As a local chapter member Dorward assisted more than two dozen young campers from the greater Cincinnati area to prepare for their summer camp experience. In addition, Dorward served the national organization for four years as the Eastern Area Camp Chair with responsibility to oversee the camping program in the eastern states. Traditionally, this anniversary would be celebrated by the group at a monthly meeting. In the age of the coronavirus the in-person celebration will be deferred. Dorward’s anniversary was recognized on a Zoom meeting of the chapter members in January. Also, a 50-year pin was delivered to Dorward by Joyce Rutherford-Donner, the chapter treasurer. The mission of the National T.T.T. Society is to provide summer camp for young girls in the Cincinnati area and across the country. All fundraising done by the women is used to provide the summer camp experience. Founded in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, in 1911, the organization’s website (nationaltttsociety.org) explains the work and welcomes inquiries. Women interested in ﬁ nding out more about T.T.T. can call Diane at 513677-8252, or Joyce at 513-791-8920, or visit the Society website, www.nationaltttsociety.org. Joyce Rudowski, National T.T.T.
