COOLEST RESTAURANTS

ave you ever walked into a Cincinnati restaurant and felt that you’d been transported to someplace you’d never been, but that you could immediately feel that something good was about to happen? ❚ You may have been eating in one of the many projects designed by The Drawing Dept., the architectural ﬁ rm in Oakley. ❚

They don’t have a monopoly on good restaurant design in Cincinnati, but they have worked on such a long list of new restaurants in OTR and all over the city that they clearly are doing something right for this time, this place. They are the hot thing right now. But co-owner Ron Novak says they haven’t gotten hot by having their fi nger on trends, or having one hip approach to style. “We believe what’s trendy is being yourself,” he said. “We fi gure out what a restaurateur wants to do, and we help them go right toward it. We ask, ‘what is so special about you?’ and design that.” That approach makes them an important part of the expansive development of the dining scene in Cincinnati. They help restaurants distinguish themselves in a competitive market. Their sensibility is just right for the re-purposed urban spaces that many restaurants are moving into. “We’re the opposite of Las Vegas, or suburban chain,” said Novak. They use what they fi nd on-site: authentic, raw materials, with

old brick and wood, surfaces with patina and history, They’ve worked on projects from Fusian, the sleekly designed local sushi chain, to Please, a culinarily adventurous chef ’s restaurant on an obscure corner in OTR. They’ve worked on the huge space of Sartre, full of decayed materials, and Maplewood, all lightcolored and fresh. They’ve worked on City Bird and Currito, Mecca and Urban Axes, the Red Ballon Cafe and A Tavola, the new Taste of Belgium locations, the original MadTree Brewing. They do jobs that are small, like the Blue Oven permanent stall at Findlay Market, to whole restaurant See ARCHITECTS, Page 3A

Erin Lockridge walks through her Norwood neighborhood on a hot Friday morning in early July, checking gardens as she goes. She passes garden after garden, some in front of a church’s old convent, some in neighbors’ yards. Erin heads to the end of the street and up over a dip where grass has grown over old railroad tracks. Here is the largest of her close to 10 gardens. She’ll pick cabbage and kale. Both are on the menu of Moriah Pie, a one-day-aweek Norwood restaurant that she started with her husband, Robert. They grow what they make, and they make pizza because, to many, cabbage and kale taste better that way. The Lockridges and their business partners, Matt Latchaw and Lyric Morris-Latchaw, work oﬀ the premise that they will use what the Lord provides. And they ask customers to give as they can. It’s an unusual business model. But it has proven sustainable. Every Friday, a once disparate group of people gather in the old Speckled Bird Cafe in Norwood for the one night a week that Moriah Pie is open. To talk, to dine, to visit with their neighbors in an atmosphere that almost feels like a community picnic. The restaurant has become so vital to the neighborhood that, on some Friday nights, the line for pizza stretches out the door. Some tables are even set up across the street to accommodate the crowd. On a recent Friday, tables were so full that people stood or sat on the sidewalk. And no one seemed to mind.

How they dreamed this up Robert Lockridge was living in Vancouver, British Columbia, where he attended theological school at Regent College. He wanted to start a garden, but that was diﬃ cult as he was living downtown in an area without a lot of green space. See MORIAH, Page 2A

Moriah Continued from Page 1A

People sometimes left trash and furniture in the alleyway behind Robert’s basement apartment. One day he noticed a chest of drawers, which had been thrown out. He decided this would be the perfect container to hold his plants. He fi lled the drawers with soil and began planting. It was a start. But he wasn’t yet a fan of community gardening. He didn’t see how it could actually heal neighborhoods who were suff ering with drug addiction and worse. A little later, Robert and Erin were introduced by mutual friends because they had so much in common, mainly their love of the Lord and of gardening. Robert left for Cincinnati where he established himself at Vineyard Central Church’s old convent, and the community garden concept began to appeal to him. In 2011, the now-married couple tried community-supported agriculture, a project that allowed people in the neighborhood to purchase a share of the crops grown and pick up fresh produce every week. The system mainly attracted people from the church. While Robert and Erin wanted to benefi t the

Christian community, they had wanted more, to reach out to the rest of the neighborhood. Erin says the community-supported agriculture hadn’t made sense to some in the community who didn’t see any value in receiving a box of kale each week, so they decided to begin using the food from their gardens for something most people enjoy –pizza. The next year, Moriah Pie was born.

The mission Both couples who run the shop are Christians and see the restaurant as a way to share what God has given them. But they say they don’t want to send the message that they have everything ﬁ gured out. This is not about gaining converts. So don’t call it a ministry. Robert is adamant that this is not about proselytizing. Customers don’t have to believe to eat. They don’t have to give thanks in a public way. But customers say they feel the impact of the outreach. “When we give money, we also know we’re helping support others who wouldn’t maybe have the money, and I really love that because everyone deserves to experience this beautiful food,” says Erika Beartie, a longtime customer who has been coming to Moriah Pie for about ﬁ ve years.

The name for the restaurant comes from the book of Genesis when God told Abraham to sacriﬁ ce his son, Isaac. When Abraham was about to obey, God provided a ram instead, and Abraham named that place Moriah, or “the Lord will provide.” Robert and Erin trust their business to God – that He will provide them with enough money to live and that He will use it for the good of the community. They leave their advertising up to the Lord as well. Moriah Pie has no oﬃ cial website or social media pages. It relies on word-of-mouth recommendations from those in the neighborhood. Robert sees the restaurant as an exercise in gratefulness. “[We] learn to be grateful for insect-damaged

cabbage, for each other, for places like Norwood — it’s not the most beautiful places in the world, but they are full of beauty if you learn to see as we believe, in the eyes of God,” Robert says. Angella Pancella, the hostess chimes in: “I would like to go on the record that I think Norwood is one of the most beautiful places.” “I agree,” Robert says, “and you just have to come to see it as such.”

How they make it work Moriah Pie is a pay-asyou-can restaurant. The leadership team emphasizes this language. It’s not free, and they’re not taking donations. This is a business, and they need the money they make to cover their costs and to make a living. This is their only income besides money Erin earns helping with a children’s program. The couple believes that the pay-as-you-can model forces people to consider how much value they place on the food they consume. Instead of seeing vegetables in a grocery store and not thinking anything of where they came from, customers at Moriah Pie

enter into a relationship with those who grow and prepare the food. “It was really awkward for a few years. People were like ‘just tell me what I have to pay,’” Erin says. Erin says they try not to look at how much people pay, but it’s discouraging if people pay nothing or off er just a handful of coins when she knows they could give more. There’s nothing they can do to stop that, though. “We’re on a journey, and if we give all of this away for free, in the end, what have we lost?” Erin asked. “We still are so rich. We’re rich in relationships; we’re rich in being able to do this, to use our bodies in this way. We have all this food that we can eat. That’s rich.” Moriah Pie welcomes those who genuinely can’t aff ord to pay for a meal. Erin says they have homeless or impoverished people who come for extended periods of time. For these people, their form of payment looks a little diff erent. One man rolled silverware every week before the restaurant opened. Another drew pictures, which line the walls of the kitchen. A homeless couple brought in orange and banana peels to use for composting. “We believe every person who comes through the door of Moriah Pie has something to give us even more than what we may be giving them,” Erin says.

Obstacles into opportunities Moriah Pie serves pizza, salads and other side dishes that can be grown in the garden. The only thing they purchase is ﬂ our, cheese, oil and spices. Sometimes, this model brings challenges.

Typically, the leadership of Moriah Pie will freeze crops like tomatoes to use throughout the winter and spring until the next year’s harvest is ready. Last year, though, the tomato harvest was smaller, and they weren’t able to freeze as much. In situations like this, they don’t just go to the store and buy more tomatoes but stick to their model of growing all the food for themselves. Erin says this can seem like an absurd concept in today’s consumerist society, where people can have anything they want instantly. “We’re gonna be limited to [what we can grow] and really lean into God’s provision,” Erin says. Their solution to the tomato dearth? Stretch what they had as much as they could by adding tomatillos to the sauce, which makes their sauce a little more zesty. And the problem-solving doesn’t stop with the food. One Friday night last year, their oven wasn’t working and was still broken when the time came to open the restaurant for the night. Angela, the hostess, turned around to see Robert leading a group of her servers out the door. Robert and the servers started taking large blocks of concrete that were beside the building and stacking them into a make-shift oven, fi lling the seams with mud. Robert ran down the street to his house to grab some wood and used that and railroad ties to fi nish the oven. At fi rst, Angela thought they were crazy. “I was as mad as I’ve ever been at the very idea that we weren’t just gonna shut the restaurant down because at this point customers are coming, and we don’t have a working oven,” she says. The customers, though, were on-board with the idea. Restaurant staff said the food would take longer because they were cooking outside for an experiment in woodfi red pizza, to the applause of the restaurant. From the cooking technology to the food itself, they’re always experimenting with recipes at Moriah Pie. They don’t have printed menus and instead write the day’s options on a large chalkboard stretching across the upper part of the back wall of the restaurant. Some foods are dependent on the season, like butternut squash pizza in the fall. Other foods come from new ideas based off what they have available. One week, they had a large container of plums, so a few of the desserts that evening utilized the plums. Recently, they found a crabapple tree in the neighborhood and decided to make a drizzle from that. Lyric, who was working that night, says: “We thought it was maybe too weird, but it wasn’t, and people loved it.”

design, like Sacred Beast. Sometimes they are the architects, other times their contribution is more in the area of interior design. They lay out kitchens and know their way around kitchen equipment. Fifteen people work at The Drawing Dept., including architects, designers and landscape architects. The owners are Novak and Rob Busch, who met at UC’s DAAP and later worked at a bigger architecture fi rm in town. They left and started their own company in 2005, setting up their offi ce in Busch’s garage. They wanted a diff erent kind of fi rm, more accessible and more aff ordable, so they gave it a generic name instead of the usual practice of naming it after themselves because they did not intend to make it about just two people’s style. They did not start with restaurant design by cautiously dipping their toe in. Their fi rst restaurant project was Boca, one of the most visible restaurants in Cincinnati, in the space of its most storied, the Maisonette. They won the job over architectural fi rms who had more restaurant experience. That job built on the work they had been doing and still do: designing super-custom new homes. “We worked with families to fi gure out everything about them and how they live. We would know where the kid kept his cereal spoon,” said Novak. They extend that same research to their restaurant clients, from Boca on down. “We know where the chef puts his truffl e shaver, whether the dishwasher is left- or righthanded.” Those details fi t into a larger theme, a concept or feel. For Boca, the key idea was “disarm.” Working closely with owner David Falk and then-creative director Jono Fries, “we fl ipped the script, taking the fi ne-dining legacy of the Maisonette and exposing it, making it accessible,” said Novak.

Alex Dever, left, and Ron Novak, right, work on architectural designs at The Drawing Dept. in Oakley on Aug. 13. The Drawing Dept. is behind many of the new restaurant designs popping around the Cincinnati area. JEFF DEAN/THE ENQUIRER

The Boca job was very collaborative, as Falk and Fries had a clear vision themselves, and several interior decorating fi rms took part. But all their jobs are collaborative in one way or another. “We don’t put up a sign with our name on projects,” said Novak, “because our work is imprinted by everyone around it: the owner, the contractor, the cook, the lighting designer.” When they land a job, they bring together all 15 people who work at the fi rm along with the client and other participants and pitch it to them. “The more ideas, the better. We put them in a pot, stir it and then edit,” said Novak. Jeremy Lieb, owner with wife Briget of Sacred Beast on Vine Street, was the opening chef at Boca and got to know Novak during the design process. So he turned to the fi rm when designing his own place. “In talking over what I was going for, I told them that I wanted simple food, but taken seriously,” he said. “They picked up on that and it became our slogan. It guided everything we did. When we got off track, we could come back to it. Lieb has opened 30 restaurants in his career. “It never goes the way you want,” he said, “but they rolled with the punches.” For the Longfellow bar, their biggest collaborator was owner Mike Stankov-

ich, who had a clear vision himself. “We didn’t really have to put him on the couch at all,” said Novak. But their professional expertise solved a tricky problem between the demands of historic preservation and of requirements for accessibility. “They fi gured out a way to gently slope the fl oor inside toward the door so there was no step up from outside, said Stankovich. “That let us open a few months earlier.” There are a lot of restaurants, often chains, that try to use detail to convince you that you are somewhere else: a Tuscan hillside, a Mexican courtyard. Novak and his team don’t do that. “Take inspiration, but don’t try to recreate.” Wouldn’t you rather have an old table that’s hand-made, that pasta has been rolled out on? It’s the diff erence between designing around soul and designing just for the bottom line.”

Americano An American burger joint from Italian chef Cristian Pietoso, in a space in a new building that was essentially an empty parking garage. The signature piece here is a handcrafted American ﬂ ag on the ceiling that serves as a canopy for the inside space and a brightly lit beacon that can be seen when walking or driving by. When you get inside and closer to it, you can see that it’s made of 4,000 empty domestic beer cans.

Boca A new fi ne-dining restaurant in the location of the Maisonette, a historic fi ne-dining restaurant. The design was about “fl ipping the script” on fi ne dining. It was stripped to its shell, with walls left unpainted as a testament to its history. But the details use rich materials to bring back a feeling of luxury and romance. The modern stairway in the middle of the room is on a grand scale. It links the levels and creates space to see and be seen. And the engine of the machine is revealed: an

open French-style kitchen, like the Maisonette kitchen where owner David Falk started his career.

The wine pit at Sotto An Italian restaurant under Boca, set in a dimly lit basement. To display the Italian wine collection, they built a pit even deeper under the streets with a spiral staircase into it. It doesn’t disturb sightlines, and it’s back-lit, which adds some subtle illumination to the room.

Taft’s Ale House An imposing historic church that was re-made into a brewery and restaurant. They re-engineered the staircase entirely, dismantling it and putting it back together so it was less steep. It’s the beginning of a procession down the aisle, ending in an “altar” of eight huge beer tanks, each one holding 5,000 gallons of the in-house brewed beer

Please This restaurant evolved from Chef Ryan Santos’s pop-up dinners. It’s on an obscure corner of OTR, lit up inside so its discerning customers can come to it. Very simple, weathered materials and little decoration give it a Scandinavian feel and create a background for the simple but carefully crafted food. The open kitchen re-creates the pop-up experience as if the chef has invited patrons into his kitchen.

Brown Bear Bakery Blair Fornshell learned to bake with her grandmother and has worked somewhat obsessively to perfect her recipes. When she opened a bakery in an 1860s storefront, the idea was to put her whole hand-made process on display. You can see behind the counter to the prep and baking areas, which are bathed in light from the windows. Fornshell herself worked with a local potter to get exactly the right feel and colors for the tiles.

Overdoses: Some neighborhoods in, around Cincinnati hit harder this summer Valerie Royzman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Two women sit on the stairs of an abandoned building on East McMicken Avenue in Over-the-Rhine. They smoke crack cocaine, passing the pipe back and forth. The midday sun beats down on them. One says she prefers heroin, which she’ll inject later. She needs the warmth, the euphoric rush of the opioid to push through her day. Her eyes dart from side to side as she speaks. She points to the sores that dot her face, neck and arms. Twenty years of drug use. Fentanyl, the highly potent synthetic opiate causing a plague of overdoses in Hamilton County since the springtime, doesn’t scare her. “I love fentanyl. That’s my high,” the woman says. “I can handle a lot more than normal people.” This scene isn’t isolated to gritty, urban corners of Cincinnati. Daily overdose reports from Hamilton County Public Health and the Hamilton County Heroin Coalition provide some insight into which neighborhoods are hardest hit by the opioid epidemic. Investigative heat maps from the reports show where overdoses happen based on the ZIP codes of those who show up at emergency departments in hospitals across the county. “It does seem like the neighborhoods are very consistent,” says Lt. Tom Fallon, investigative commander for the heroin task force. “Up around Galbraith and Vine Street (in Hartwell). Price Hill is a hot area. Norwood is a hot area. “Cheviot has always been steady. The lower part of Delhi Township is pretty steady. Mount Washington can spike at times.” The Cincinnati area had 24 overdose calls and seven hospitalizations in 24

Two women, who asked not to be named, sit on a stoop on East McMicken Avenue in Over-the-Rhine, smoking crack cocaine on July 11. One says she plans to inject heroin later. She's been using the drug for 20 years. MADELEINE HORDINSKI/THE ENQUIRER

hours on July 26. The volume of 911 dispatches for overdoses has increased monthly since the beginning of the year. In July, there were 430 dispatches, according to a recent report from the health department and the heroin coalition. Overdose hospital visits in Hamilton County followed the same pattern, though July experienced a slight drop. In Westwood, identiﬁ ed as another troubled area, Cody Jones sees the effects of the crisis almost every day. He lives in Walton, Kentucky, but travels to Heritage House, where he works as the manager for the faith-based, inpatient recovery program for men. Jones, 28, sees people in their cars at a church waiting to make their next buy. He notices scenes like these because he struggled with addiction for 12 years. The ﬁ rst time he snorted heroin and

overdosed, his drug dealer was the one to pick him up from the hospital. Now, he’s three-and-a-half years sober, married and has a baby girl on the way – “a miracle,” he calls it. Though Jones says many of the men he works with fi nish the program, others aren’t ready to recover. One man left six months into the program, and “10 days later we were doing his funeral.” Mark Middleton spends time in the Westwood Branch Library just a short drive away. “Tiff , Jason, Ben just died from it,” he says, listing names of friends and family. “Jen, Amy, Nick, Shawn. I can keep naming names.” He off ers this advice: “When you go through rehab, move to where you don’t know people. That way, you can grow yourself. You can make a new life instead of the old life that you had.” In Norwood, another hard-hit area,

Kristie Combs, 26, rests in a rocking chair on a front porch, where she babysits. Two children whisper and giggle as they ride their bicycles through puddles. Combs says she has lost probably fi ve family members to heroin addiction. “That drug doesn’t discriminate,” she says, and pauses to shout at the kids – “Please stay on the sidewalk!” Not far from the house is Cleveland Avenue, where Norwood Police Lt. Ron Murphy says seven overdoses occurred this year at one home along the 1800 block. The house sits empty now, a city notice to vacate tacked to the door. The epidemic has a grip on the city, Murphy says, though it’s not as bad as it was a few years ago. Overdoses occur in spurts, then it’s quiet for a while. It’s common for offi cers, who have been carrying naloxone for about two years, to visit the same home more than once for an overdose victim. The police department added a new member: Beau, a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois trained to detect narcotics. Five hours into his fi rst day on the job, Beau made his fi rst drug bust during a traffi c stop on Sherman Avenue. The K9 found 14 syringes, suspected heroin and fentanyl and suspected cocaine. Lauren Bartoszek, coalition director for ASAP (Adolescent Substance Abuse Programs) in Norwood, held a meeting in June. She said about 11 people attended and the crowd tends to be mostly parents who have addicted children. They leave with a naloxone kit, that eases the worry for some and empowers them to save a life, she says. Murphy recalls a parent at the meeting who asked, “When does it end?” Sitting in his offi ce, scrolling through overdose records, he says, “I don’t know,” and shakes his head. “I don’t know.”

‘I can’t breathe,’ teen told grandmother after being shot Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Last year, Gregory Thompson Jr. was shot ﬁ ve times in front of his grandmother’s house in Evanston. The 17-year-old’s grandmother, Mary Partee, rushed to his side. “He said, ‘Grandma, I can’t breathe.’ And he left me,” Partee recalled during the sentencing for the teen who shot Thompson. “He died right in front of me.” The shooter was Desean Bowman, at the time a 16-year-old who attended Withrow High School. Bowman, now 17, pleaded guilty Tuesday, Aug. 13 in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court to involuntary manslaughter and felonious assault. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison and will not be eligible for early release, according to the terms of the plea agree-

ment. The reason for the March 2018 shooting has never been explained in detail in court. Judge Ethna Cooper said she keeps returning to the question of why. “I don’t know how someone,16 years old, could basically execute another human being,” Cooper said. “Over what? Because of what? There’s no answers.” Thompson, a student at Purcell Marian High School, was living with his grandmother at the time. Bowman was driven to the home in a vehicle with four other people, prosecutors said. Thompson walked out of the home to meet with one of the others in the vehicle. At some point, prosecutors say Bowman walked up to Thompson and shot him. “Without question, it was a premeditated, cold-blooded act,” Hamilton

Teller’s of Hyde Park is closing Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Teller’s of Hyde Park will close after 25 years and a new group will be taking over the space, according to the restaurant’s Facebook page. The restaurant will close at the end of August and a hospitality group will be taking over the spot, Brendan Hurley said on behalf of the partners of Tellers. It has been an “honor” to serve Hyde Park and Cincinnati, he said. “Tellers has been a home. It has been a home to our guests and our employees. We have been a family of employees and have had an incredible run thanks to the patronage of the community and our loyal guests,” Hurley wrote. Hurley also thanked patrons employees and said they’ve had an “incredible

County Assistant Prosecutor Brian Goodyear said. One of Bowman’s attorneys, Wilkes Ellsworth, said he believes Bowman was manipulated by an older person inside the vehicle. Bowman apologized to Thompson’s family, but did not give a reason for the shooting. Thompson’s mother, Dionne Partee, said her son was looking forward to graduating and getting a car. But that was taken away from him. She also talked about the loss, pain and sorrow she feels. “You took my baby. You took my baby,” Partee ﬁ nally told Bowman. Then she walked back to her seat in the courtroom, sobbing. Another person charged in the case, 19-year-old Frank Jones, pleaded guilty last year and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

A Norwood man is in custody after being found hiding in a bedroom closet down the street from the site of an aggravated robbery on Aug. 4, according to a police report. Shavonte Hillman, 23, is being held for multiple charges totaling a $300,000 bond, according to court records. The charges include aggravated robbery and felonious assault. The arrest complaint states that four victims identiﬁ ed Hillman as one of two armed suspects who stopped

their car and ﬁ red at least four shots at the vehicle after asking for the victims’ property. None of the shots hit the victims, according to Hillman the report. The victims then watched as the two suspects ran into a house on Hewitt Avenue, where Hillman was later found hiding in an upstairs bedroom closet, police said. Hillman was indicted on six of the charges today and will appear in court on Aug. 28 for three others.

Never had Pad Thai? Try this easy recipe Jaime’s chicken Pad Thai

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

This is one recipe for which you need to go to taste on the seasonings. Seems like I always add a bit more soy and oyster sauce. Rice noodles are chewy and somewhat transparent.

I was really hungry for Pad Thai – a delicious Thai stir fry with rice noodles. Going through my recipes, I ran across a favorite from Jaime Carmody, Chef Proprietor of Out of Thyme Kitchen Studio in Symmes Township. It was from 2016! Seems just like yesterday that Jaime and I cooked together. I’ve adapted her recipe slightly. It’s worth buying small bottles of oyster and ﬁ sh sauce. If you’ve always wanted to make Pad Thai, try Jaime’s. It goes together quickly. And as promised, the recipe for blueberry cobbler that a reader requested is here, too.

Ingredients 1 pkg. rice noodles 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 shallot, minced or 1⁄ 2 small red onion, minced 3 tablespoons oyster sauce 2-3 eggs, lightly beaten

Readers want to know: can you eat corn raw?

⁄ 4 cup ﬁ sh sauce

Yes, you can. Yummy added to fresh salsa or tossed green salad.

Pad Thai. RITA HEIKENFELD/PROVIDED

3 tablespoons rice vinegar or clear vinegar 3-4 tablespoons Tamari soy sauce or regular soy sauce ⁄ 4 cup dark brown sugar

Easy blueberry cobbler

gar, Tamari, brown sugar and green onions. Stir in sprouts, peanuts and broccoli. Stir in red pepper flakes and cilantro, then garnish with peanuts and squeeze of lime. Pass hot sauce.

4 green onions, sliced, white and green part both Couple handfuls bean sprouts

This makes a cake-like crust.

⁄ 4 cup chopped roasted peanuts plus extra for garnish 3

Ingredients 1 can sweetened condensed milk

Lime wedges

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 bunch broccoli, cut up and steamed (optional)

⁄ 2 cup half & half or milk

Substitute shrimp for chicken. Snow peas, carrots, would be good.

Cilantro or Vietnamese coriander to taste

11⁄ 4 cups self-rising flour

Tips

Vietnamese cilantro/coriander: What is it?

Crushed red pepper flakes to taste

6 tablespoons butter, melted

Stronger flavor than cilantro, this herb thrives in the heat, and doesn’t bolt to seed.

Favorite hot sauce (optional)

2 heaping cups blueberries

Instructions

⁄ 3 cup sugar

Instructions Preheat oven to 350 and spray a casserole pan. Whisk condensed milk, vanilla, flour, half & half and butter together. Pour into casserole. Pour blueberries over and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 35-45 minutes. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Tamari vs soy

In large skillet or wok, add enough oil to coat bottom nicely. Cook garlic, shallots, oyster sauce and chicken until chicken is almost cooked.

Both soy sauce and tamari are soy based.

Scoot mixture to one half of the skillet, then stir in eggs, scrambling them as they cook. Mix all together. Add as many noodles as you like, ﬁ sh sauce, vine-

Tamari, a Japanese form of sauce, contains little or no wheat while regular soy sauce usually contains wheat. Tamari has a smoother flavor.

‘We can ... make sure it never happens again.’ Plush family sues Cincinnati Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Jill Plush wears a silver necklace around her neck with a charm engraved with the words “carpe diem.” Seize the day. It’s her family’s motto, one adopted by her son Kyle, who almost died as a baby, and lived his life by those words. Kyle died on April 10, 2018, after becoming trapped in the Honda Odyssey he drove to school that day. The thirdrow seat collapsed on him, pinning him between the seat and minivan fl oor. His pleas for help, made in two 911 calls via voice activation on his cell phone, went unanswered. “I probably don’t have much time left, so tell my mom that I love her if I die,” Kyle said in the second call. Help never arrived. Jill Plush still hasn’t listened to her son’s heartbreaking last words. But she and her husband Ron Plush are on a quest for answers about what happened. They say that’s why they fi led a wrongful death lawsuit Aug. 12 against the city — to fi nd out what went wrong and make sure what happened to them never happens to another family. The family seeks unspecifi ed compensatory and punitive damages and court-supervised reforms of the 911 system. They’re not happy with what’s happened so far at city hall. A political fi ght erupted that helped push out the city manager. Police completed an investigation that elected offi cials called inadequate. And Councilman Wendell Young said at a meeting to the family that they were “witch hunting” and “no amount of money that would make you happy.” They say their lawsuit is about more than that. They want answers so somebody else doesn’t die because a desperate call to 911 doesn’t bring the help needed. They started the Kyle Plush Answer the Call Foundation to share the story of what happened to Kyle so 911 center employees remember real people are on the other end of the line. “We can’t change (what happened to Kyle), but we can change the future and make sure it never happens again,” Ron Plush said. “We want to ensure that when you do call 911 that help is going to come and it’s going to come immediately and it’s going to be the right help because seconds and minutes matter.” In a lawsuit fi led Aug. 12 in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court, the Plush family is suing the city and several city offi cials and workers alleging their actions led to the wrongful death of Kyle: former City Manager Harry Black who was on the job then; Emergency Com-

Ron and Jill Plush are on a quest for answers about what happened to cause son Kyle to die. PHIL DIDION/THE ENQUIRER

munication Center employees Amber Smith and Stephanie Magee; and Cincinnati Police Offi cers Edsel Osborne and Brian Brazile. Cincinnati City Manager Patrick Duhaney off ered condolences to the Plush family “for the tragic loss of their son, Kyle.” “Every day since April 10, 2018, the City has worked to evaluate, review and enhance the ways in which we respond to emergencies,” he said. “As a result, the Emergency Communications Center exceeds state and national standards for 91-1 call answering. We have developed and implemented these changes in a transparent and collaborative manner.” But because of the litigation, Duhaney said he could not comment further. Ron Plush was vocal at Cincinnati City Council meetings about policy changes, but he and his wife have rarely spoken publicly about their son’s death. They sat down with The Enquirer last week and shared their heartbreak, frustration and why they fi nally are taking the city to task. Kyle called 911 at 3:14 p.m. that spring day, but because his phone was in his pocket and he couldn’t reach it after being pinned under the seat, Magee, the call taker, had diffi culty hearing him. “Help me,” Kyle said. “I’m going to die. I’m in a van at Seven Hills (inaudible) shop.” Magee misclassifi ed the call as “unknown trouble” when entering it into the system, despite knowing he was trapped and hearing him banging and his screaming. That misclassifi cation meant fi re and rescue — who had sophisticated mapping equipment in their vehicles — didn’t go, the lawsuit said. But she did dispatch offi cers to the school. Osborne and Brazile arrived at Seven Hills High School in Madisonville in 10 minutes, but they didn’t get out of their car. When they didn’t see signs of immediate trouble after driving through the school’s parking lot, they left. While the offi cers were still there, Kyle called 911 again at 3:35 p.m., telling call taker Smith he was in a gold Honda Odyssey. This time, because Kyle was si-

lent, Smith implemented technology used for hearing impaired calls, which meant she couldn’t hear him. The lawsuit alleges before Smith hit the button, Kyle can be heard saying “help me”, and saying to her, “I can’t hear you.” Kyle died there. It was Ron Plush who would fi nd him seven hours later. He went looking when Kyle never came home from his tennis match. The Plushes begged the city to make changes. With his background in business, Ron Plush drew up a spreadsheet of questions about what happened. It has 31 items on it. City offi cials pledged to answer the questions and make the needed changes. The 911 center, which had been plagued by problems for years and was woefully underfunded, was yanked from police control and placed under civilian leadership that answers directly to the city manager. Employees at the 911 center have gotten additional training, including on how to handle calls that seem silent like Kyle’s did, and more people have been hired. The city upgraded the system to what’s referred to as smart 911, which allows people to put information into the 911 system that helps emergency responders when they are called. There’s also a new policy that requires offi cers to get out of their car and look around when responding to unknown trouble — even if there seems to be none. More was to be done though. The last time 911 center fi xes were discussed publicly was Dec. 10. The last city memo on the subject is dated Nov. 15, 2018. The last time the city answered questions about it was in April, on the year anniversary. Even then, they didn’t answer all the questions from The Enquirer. In the immediate aftermath of Kyle’s death, the city pledged to buy mapping equipment that could pinpoint where a 911 call was coming from and immediately show it on a map in an offi cer’s cruiser. During Kyle’s death, offi cers could have asked a dispatcher for latitude and longitude coordinates of the call and entered them into the system themselves. They didn’t. It’s a cumbersome process that is not always used since most trouble is apparent when cops arrive. Despite pledging to do so, the city didn’t purchase the equipment and last said offi cers have access to a city app that allows them to put information into the system and see a map, which is still a two-step process. City offi cials have suspected the lawsuit was coming. The family lawyer is Al Gerhardstein, one of the most respected civil rights attorneys in the city. What Ron and Jill Plush really want is for everyone involved in that call for help to be interviewed again. The offi cers

submitted to only one interview, the internal one. The outside reviews found there was no intentional harm. “It is perhaps easier for us to come to terms with a tragedy that has occurred because of the bad acts of one person, a particular failure or some concrete cause,” one the reports, done by 21 CP Solutions, said. “It is harder when the cause of that tragedy is diff use or is a series of issues that, on their own, may not have led to it but, when taken together, set in motion a kind of ‘perfect storm’ that led to a terrible outcome.” Ron and Jill Plush wear blue bracelets bearing their foundation’s name. On the day they talked about their loss, Ron Plush wore two other wristbands too. Another blue bracelet is for the Denise Amber Lee Foundation, created after the death of a Florida mother abducted from her home. Despite her 9-minute call to 911, in which she detailed the streets her abductor was driving by, and calls from four others, offi cers were not dispatched. Because of the foundation’s work, Florida 911 employees are required to go through 232 hours of training. A purple bracelet is for the Kari Hunt Foundation, created after the death of a Texas mother who killed by her estranged husband during child visitation at a hotel. Hunt’s 9-year-old daughter called 911, but never reached a call taker because she needed to dial 9 fi rst. Congress passed a law last year requiring a business with multi-phone systems (like offi ces and hotels) to ensure 911 can be called without a prefi x number. “It’s still hard to believe that it happened,” Jill Plush said. “It’s still hard to believe that this is our lives. So we need to make sure this never happens to another family.” “Every day is diff erent,” she said. “We struggle on some days you know. Some days, I mean, we don’t smile.” But there are good days too. They valued each day after Kyle suffered a spinal cord injury at four months old. He died then, but was revived by doctors. They were a close family, Ron and Jill and Kyle and Kyle’s younger sister. They biked the Little Miami trail. They kayaked. They hiked. They skied. And they would go on walks. Kyle was particularly close with his mother. At bedtime, they had a goodnight routine. Kyle would say, “Goodnight. I love you. See you in the morning. Sweet dreams.” And Jill Plush would reply with the same words. At Kyle’s funeral, where hundreds of people turned out to say goodbye, Jill Plush recounted their special goodnight. At the end, she said, “Goodnight. I love you. See you in Heaven.”

Lawsuit: Nine mistakes that led to Kyle Plush's death Sharon Coolidge and Alexander Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The family of Kyle Plush fi led a wrongful death lawsuit Aug. 12y in Hamilton County Commons Pleas Court naming former Cincinnati City Manager Harry Black, the city, two 911 call takers and two police offi cers. The City of Cincinnati spent more than $100,000 on three prior investigations that exonerated the call takers and offi cers of all wrong-doing. It has since implemented more training, hired additional staff and upgraded the 911 system so people can enter information about themselves. The lawsuit, though, details a deteriorating 911 system in the months leading up to the death of 16-year-old Kyle, who died on April 10, 2018 after becoming trapped inside his Honda Odyssey while parked outside Seven Hills School after school. Kyle, of Anderson Township, was

pinned by the minivan’s third-row seat, but still managed to twice call 911 by voice activating his phone in his pocket. Two experts – John Melcher, former CEO of the Harris County, Texas, 911 Emergency Network, the largest 911 program in North America and police prac-

tice expert Michael Lyman – hired by the Plush family, did their own investigations. Here’s what they found: ❚ The fi rst call taker, Stephanie Magee, failed to share details of the van’s location, which she verifi ed through geolocation technology, which automatically uses GPS-like tracking to pinpoint a cellphone’s location. ❚ Magee misclassifi ed the call for service as “unknown trouble,” rather than as a call that required immediate fi re rescue. Had it been classifi ed as a rescue, the fi re department — with more sophisticated mapping equipment in vehicles -- would have gone too. ❚ Magee delayed entering information into the dispatching system by seven minutes and failed to share with police critical information about Kyle’s desperate need for immediate help – specifi cally that she heard banging, screams for help and Kyle saying he was going to die. ❚ The second call taker, Amber Smith, improperly launched technology used for hearing impaired individuals, even

though she heard Kyle ask for help and say he was at Seven Hills school. By activating silent call technology, she reduced the volume of Kyle’s voice and made it diffi cult to hear him. ❚ Smith failed to play back the call, which would have allowed her to hear Kyle describe his van, his location and that he was going to die soon. ❚ Smith failed to contact the police who were still on scene about the second call and failed to pass on that the caller thought he was dying. ❚ The two responding offi cers, Edsel Osborne and Brian Brazile, didn’t get out of their police cruiser. ❚ They searched every school parking lot except at the northern end of the lot where Kyle was. At one point they were 12 parking spots away from where Kyle was trapped. ❚ The offi cers did not use a button on their in-vehicle computer to bring up a map of where the call was coming from. Cincinnati City Manager Patrick Duhaney would not comment on the specifics of the lawsuit.

Moeller football to defend GCL-South with new coach Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Moeller’s new head football coach is Todd Naumann, the program’s seventh since 1960.TONY TRIBBLE/FOR THE ENQUIRER

KENWOOD - They have their third coach in three seasons, but the Moeller High School football team is the defending Greater Catholic League-South champion. As such, they lack little conﬁ dence as they walk by the statue of legendary Crusaders coach Gerry Faust at the athletic complex that bears his name. Since 1960, Todd Naumann is just the seventh coach in the hallowed history of the program following Faust, Ted Bacigalupo, Steve Klonne, Bob Crable, John Rodenberg and Doug Rosfeld. Rosfeld left in the spring to take a job with new Bengals coach Zac Taylor, whom he had worked with at the University of Cincinnati. Naumann, associate head coach, became head coach

offi cially the morning of March 28. “We know there’s a lot of tradition and a lot of pride when it comes to Moeller football,” Naumann said. “A lot of people have invested a lot of time and energy over the years to make this an outstanding football program. We’re looking forward to trying to carry on the legacy.” Under Rosfeld, Moeller went 6-5 and won all three GCL-South regular season games over St. Xavier, La Salle and Elder. They were 6-1 after beating the Panthers at Nippert Stadium but then dropped four straight to Cleveland St. Ignatius, eventual DI champion Lakewood St. Edward, Winton Woods and Elder in a fi rst-round playoff game. The schedule is equally as tough in 2019 and begins with Indianapolis Cathedral at St. Xavier Aug. 31. Moeller will play three home games at Princeton this

year, moving from Lockland’s Roettger Stadium. Lakota West transfer Malik Verdon played in three games as a sophomore at quarterback and appears to be the frontrunner. Verdon backed up starter Mitch McKenzie a year ago. Senior Drew Altemuehle, a Sycamore transfer who was second in the Greater Miami Conference in passing, is also in contention. Among Moeller players getting Division I attention is Carrington Valentine, who recently committed to Kentucky as a defensive back. Valentine also had ﬁ ve catches on oﬀ ense and returned kicks last season. “We have about six or eight guys who are playing on both sides of the ball for us,” Naumann said. “We’re really a twoplatoon football team, but we’re practicSee MOELLER, Page 2B

Three Moeller home football games to be played at Princeton Scott Springer

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

KENWOOD – For the fi rst time since the fall of 2009, Moeller High School's football team will not have any home games at Lockland's Roettger Stadium. The Crusaders had used Roettger as a home fi eld from 2002-2006 and consistently since 2009, but an agreement could not be reached to continue the arrangement. Instead, Moeller will now have three "home games" at Pat Mancuso Field at Viking Stadium across the street from Princeton High School. The agreement was fi nalized last week and Moeller athletic director Mike Asbeck and assistant Kim Hauck conducted a site visit Thursday. "We fi nalized procedural security, parking and all that stuff ," Asbeck said. "They have acres of paved parking there so we have the tailgate area designated. The facility is all brand new. The turf 's new, the press box is new, the stands are new. Proximitywise, you can't beat it, right off of 75 there. A lot of our people live in the north." Moeller's home games with Lafayette (Kentucky) Sept. 13, La Salle Oct. 4 and Cleveland St. Ignatius Oct. 19 will all be played at Princeton which has routinely hosted OHSAA playoff games over the years. "The big thing is the parking," Asbeck said. "We were limited where we were before and we didn't have a lot of paved parking. It's going to be more benefi cial to our fans. Princeton is a great opportunity." Added new Princeton AD Joe Roberts, "It's a very unique situation. We look forward to being able to host them. It's something we've looked at

and talked about. It's great to say we have the best facilities that we can host schools and host teams. “We're really proud of what we have to off er." The last regular-season appearance by Moeller as a visitor to Princeton was a 27-17 victory on Aug. 23, 2008. The schools had epic battles during the Pat Mancuso/Gerry Faust years with Moeller leading the series 37-7. "We're really excited about playing at Princeton," Moeller head football coach Todd Naumann said. "Anyone that knows the history of Cincinnati football will recognize a little bit the irony of Moeller playing their home games at Princeton. We're grateful for the fact they're sharing their facility with us. It's a fi rst-class place." Revisiting that series may be an option, but it would likely not be anytime soon. "We're discussing it, it just has to make sense," Asbeck said. "The GMC has eight league games." Princeton's Roberts was noncommital but didn't rule out a football game. Asbeck also mentioned they could consider a basketball series. "Moeller and Princeton have a unique relationship that I don't think any public and private school have," Asbeck said. In addition to the football games at Princeton, Moeller's opener against Indianapolis Cathedral will be played at St. Xavier High School Aug. 31. On Sept. 27, the Crusaders will host the St. Xavier Bombers at the University of Cincinnati's Nippert Stadium where they have periodically played certain home dates since 2006, the last being against Elder last Oct. 5. A Nov. 2 game with St. Joseph North (Ontario, Canada) will be played at Moeller at the Gerry Faust Athletic Complex with a noon kickoff .

A domino eff ect followed, where boys decided to not play based on friends not playing, and so on. “Seeing as that we started out with 14 guys and ended with 14 guys, I think it gave a lot of people confi dence it’s not as dangerous as it would seem,” Adkins said. Senior co-captain Josh Nixon recalled the emotional highs and lows of last season. While some teams were both overjoyed at and frustrated by their small numbers, he said they felt uplifted by community support and pride in their heart, hard work and strong character. He particularly remembers the homecoming game against Lockland, a come-from-behind 20-9 victory – their fourth of the six wins – where the fans stormed the fi eld at the fi nal whistle. “That kind of showed we, as a school, are one behind this team,” he said. “Even though there’s only 14-15 of us out here, everyone’s really behind us.” By the time they played their last game, a 24-8 win over Dohn Community, they were seventh in OHSAA computer rankings, which would have put them in the playoff s if the season had ended that week. The playoff s weren’t

possible, though, because they needed to have played at least eight games, Ross said. Even with only six games under their belts, senior off ensive and defensive lineman Sterling Snell fi nished second in the Miami Valley Conference in sacks (14.5) and Adkins was tied for second in the league in interceptions (3) and seventh for rushing yards (702). Because they didn’t have a full season of statistics, they didn’t have postseason accolades, though Sterling Snell played with the east defense in the SWOFCA Ron Woyan East-West All-Star Game. As for team stats, Adkins had a teamleading 13 touchdowns, 12 of which were rushing TDs. He also handled kickoff and punt returns. Howard led the team in receiving yards with six receptions for 163 yards from then-freshman quarterback Zach Corbin. Ross said the team now has 29 players, mostly due to the eff orts last year and in the off -season. Under new head coach/athletic director Dennis Coyle, the boys open their full 10-game schedule at 7 p.m. Sept. 6 at home against Summit Country Day. “A lot of these (new) guys, they said they missed it. When they saw the students running the fi eld against Lockland and everybody going crazy, they’re like ‘there’s nothing like a Friday Night football. I want to be a part of that. I can’t believe I missed it,’ “ Ross said. “I think people are going to look back, fi ve to 10 years from now, and they’re going to say this group, these four guys (the 2019 captains), and the guys who played last year really kept Cincinnati Country Day football on the up-and-up. Now, we’re going to have a solid program moving forward.”

Carrington is going to play a little bit of off ense.” Valentine is friends with some of the Kentucky commits Coach Mark Stoops has acquired in Greater Cincinnati, including Fairfi eld’s top rusher, JuTahn McClain. “It (UK) was the right place for me,” Valentine said. “I loved it down there with Coach Stoops. I feel like it’s somewhere I can develop my skills and make it to the next level.” Kicker Kevin Thibodeaux has also won some respect with his booming leg. Thibodeaux was 13-for-17 on fi eld goals with a long of 49 (one of fi ve 40-plus yard kicks). On PATs he was a perfect 19for-19. Against Elder at Nippert Stadium, he kicked the game-winning fi eld goal to win the GCL-South. Among the former soccer player’s possibilities are the Naval Academy, Penn of the Ivy League and a preferred walk-on off er at the University of Cincinnati. “It actually gives the off ense a lot of confi dence and makes the head coach feel good as well,” Naumann said of Thibodeaux’s accuracy. “I think Kevin’s one of the better kickers in the state of Ohio. He’s a three-year starter for us.” Thibodeaux is friends with fellow GCL-South kicker Jake Seibert of La Salle, who is heading to Ohio State. The two will square off Oct. 4 when Moeller hosts the Lancers at Princeton. “I had a really good season last year and after that coaches started coming

and I made a lot of connections,” Thibodeaux said. “Over the summer I went to a lot of college camps and kind of built my reputation there. Now, everything’s starting to culminate. Usually for kickers it takes a little bit longer for recruiting purposes.” A sign of respect for Thibodeaux is that he was voted one of Moeller’s team captains for 2019.

Symmes Township philanthropists honored Carol and Larry Neuman were honored by the Greater Cincinnati Planned Giving Council recently with a Voices of Giving Awards. The 21th annual Voices of Giving Awards Event paid tribute to Greater Cincinnatians who have chosen to leave a charitable legacy with a bequest or other type of planned gift to a favorite charitable organization. All honorees were selected by their benefi ting cause. The Neumans have been involved with Jewish Cemeteries of Greater Cincinnati since the organization was founded. Larry Neuman is treasurer and Finance Committee chair, and the organization’s incoming board president. He is also chair of JCGC’s Create Your Jewish Legacy planned giving campaign and serves on the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati’s Create Your Jewish Legacy Steering Committee.

Scammer alert As a council mmber you hear interesting things from neighbors, one of the most concerning has been the uptick in scams we are all facing. From fraudulent calls about Social Security cards at risk to threats about a warrant for your arrest being prepared because you missed jury duty, our cell phones are becoming greater and greater sources of contact. However, our front door is still one of the greatest opportunity for scam as some people let their guard down when they are chatting with someone in person. While posting a “no solicitation” sign on your door may succeed in eliminating some of the intrusions, the ﬂ ood of college students hired to go door-to-door often ignore these posted warnings. Often times they are even

told to ignore them. This past summer Mayor Donnellon and I hosted Rep. Wenstrup’s and Sen. Portman’s staff at Elmcroft of Deer Park to discuss scams – electronic, telephonic and in person. Those two offi ces have a variety of materials and are always happy to take calls from concerned citizens. One of the main scams occurring in our community is the energy savings groups. Some representatives will insinuate they work with Duke Energy, while others will claim to work for XYZ Energy company, and will off er rates far below anything you are presently receiving. One of their fi rst questions is to see a copy of your Duke Energy bill. Please do not show them your bill. Once they have your account number they can have your energy provider changed. Also, beware of robo-calls and phone solicitors claiming that “your Duke account has been fl agged for review.” This is also a scam by an unethical broker or supplier designed to mislead you. Additionally, these scammers will often off er very low rates, but not tell you that the rate is only an entry-level See COMMUNITY, Page 4B

Concert at The Barn Great music has the power to reach deep inside and move you on an emotional level. That’s what listening to The Mitchells is all about. The Mitchells are a four-piece indie pop band from Cincinnati, who bring a distinctive warm and orchestral approach to their music. Since forming in 2012, they have garnered a devoted – if not dancing – regional fan base. The group will present its repertoire at The Barn on Aug. 22 from 7-9 p.m. The Mitchells ﬁ rst placed themselves on the Midwest music scene by releasing their ﬁ rst EP and by playing the largest regional music festivals in and around Cincinnati, including Bunbury and Midpoint Music Festival. The Mitchells are continually honing a sound that is best described as “orchestrally-minded.” Their goal is to meld the rich textures and dynamics of a complete orchestral score with a fourpiece rock band at their core. In 2015, The Mitchells partnered with concert:nova – a progressive Cincinnati chamber ensemble with ties to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra – to reimagine and perform an adaptation of the 1823 Schubert masterpiece “Die Schöne Müllerin.” Joined also by Grammy-nominated producer and guitar player Ric Hordinski (Over the Rhine, Monk), the new composition retells the tragic story of unrequited love, weaving the modern and the classic into a unique and compelling musical experience. The band is writing material for their third album and playing repeat performances with concert:nova. The Barn is located at 6980 Cambridge Avenue in Mariemont. Tickets: $15 Fifteen. Craft beer and snacks will be available. Proceeds will help pay for more than 30 programs pertaining to the visual and performing arts at The Barn, also known as The Woman’s Art

Peace of mind may be priceless, but we’re helping put it within reach. When you choose an Elmcroft community, you can rest easy knowing Dad will get everything he needs, without having to pay extra for it.

With sports, focus on the fun to build healthy youth Fall sports—football, soccer, cheerleading, etc.—are underway. Do athletics truly benefit our children? Recent research in the journal Pediatrics looked at this issue.

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

The good Organized sports give children the opportunity to be active regularly, which is good for cardiovascular health.There’s also a social benefit: Through athletics, kids learn commitment and hard work. Finally, kids who play sports have lower rates of depression and substance abuse and higher self-esteem. The not-so-good Kids who specialize in one sport can increase their risk of injury. Researchers recommend children not partake in organized sports until age 6.Younger kids may not have the needed motor skills or attention span. Social and emotional concerns exist, too. Sports may provide opportunity for bullying. Kids can feel pressure to perform well. As athletes enter adolescence, their risk-taking behaviors are higher, particularly alcohol abuse and use of smokeless tobacco. Opportunity is not always equal. Children from families with lower incomes may encounter barriers related to cost and transportation.

rate good for a few months, after which the rate will jump substantially. They are very similar to credit card companies with low starting interest rates. Those rates usually expire before the cold weather and real usage climbs. Deer Park, like many communities has an aggregation program for gas and electric. Aggregation programs are the equivalent of you and your neighbors banding together and buying electric or gas in bulk. This Sam’s/Costco style bulk purchase rate is a better deal overall. Additionally, there is an opt-out program in Deer Park (with aggregation provided by Energy Alliances, Inc.) there is even a number to call for questions. These programs save residents real money - more than $30,000 was saved last winter alone in Deer Park - and protect you against the scammers by locking in your rate through the municipality. Tassell If you have questions, don’t hesitate to close the door on the scammers and call your local municipal administration or police department if appropriate. Door to door vendors should be registered and that can be easily veriﬁ ed. Please remember, legitimate companies and institutions like the Social Security Administration will mail you many times before they ever call, if they call at all. Even then, they won’t make demands for payments, especially in the form of gift cards. Charles Tassell, Deer Park Council member

Porsche dealership ﬁ ght goes to county commission Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The proposed expansion of a dealership that sells Porsches and other pricey automobiles in Columbia Township has cleared the second of three government hurdles. Over the objections of a neighborhood group called “People Over Porsches And Parking Lots,” the Hamilton County Rural Zoning Commission recently voted to recommend that the Hamilton County commissioners approve the rezoning of four residential lots on Cambridge Avenue for retail use. The owner of the lots already has razed vacant houses there in hopes that Porsche of the Village and three other automobile-sales businesses at a multibrand dealership at 4113 Plainville Road will be permitted to build a 71-space parking lot there for their inventory of vehicles.

Part of the property at 6742 through 6748 Cambridge Ave. could be used for an addition to a Maserati/ Alfa Romeo showroom to be constructed on adjacent property at Cambridge Avenue and Plainville Road that until recently was home to a Dollar General store. The rural zoning commission agreed to support the zone change on the condition that if the property owner decides to proceed with plans to build the showroom addition, the case must return to the commission for public review. Woeste Investments Limited of Anderson Township owns all the property involved, including the Porsche of the Village site that also is home to Maserati of Cincinnati, Alfa Romeo of Cincinnati and Volvo Cars Cincinnati East. Earlier this year, the Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission recommended that the rural zoning commission support the rezoning. The rural zoning commission’s decision was a split

vote, with three members voting to support the zone change, one member voting against it and one member abstaining. The county commissioners are expected to take up the matter in September, and a representative of “People Over Porsches And Parking Lots” says the group will be there to lobby against the zone change. “We were disappointed in the Rural Zoning Commission’s decision to approve the application but were encouraged by one abstention and one no vote from committee members,” Stacey Bryant-Rose, a member of the neighborhood group, said. “Our concerns about a vehicle storage parking lot encroaching into the residential portion of our neighborhood are being heard, and we look forward to meeting with the Board of County Commissioners.” The Columbia Township trustees support the zone change, township Administrator Mike Lemon said in a letter ﬁ led with the case.

SCHOOL NEWS UC Blue Ash students study abroad The 2019 study abroad programs at the University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College took students to Peru, England, and Wales as they experienced new cultures and took courses in creative writing, photography, and Spanish. There were two separate programs for students. The British Summer Study Abroad was based at Harlaxton College in England and visited several towns in Wales, as well as Belvoir Castle, a working castle located near Grantham, England. In the creative writing course, students examined the diff erences between the cultures in the US and the UK while also getting to see them up close. That’s part of what makes study abroad so special. “Getting to learn about a place and its culture while actually experiencing that place is an unparalleled learning opportunity,” says Libby Anthony, English professor and one of the leaders of the British Summer Study Abroad program. Students also had the chance to take a photography course in which they could explore storytelling through a visual lens. Professor Lisa Timman taught her students the art of capturing the similarities and diff erences in their images as they experienced the cultures in Britain and Wales. “Studying abroad was the best decision I have ever made. I met an amazing group of people and got to spend a month exploring another country with them,” says Grace Wells, a student who took part in the British program. The Peru Summer Study Abroad took students to Cusco, Peru — a city deeply immersed in history. Much like the Britain and Wales program, this trip was focused on local culture, with an emphasis on language. Students were essentially adopted by a host family where they lived for 20 days and spoke Spanish almost exclusively. “My host family and professors were all encouraging, and within the fi rst

programs are only oﬀ ered to current UC Blue Ash or UC students. Hannah Roberts, UC Blue Ash College

UC Blue Ash students and faculty get ready to participate in a holiday celebration in Cusco, Peru, as part of their study abroad experience. PROVIDED

week I was attempting to start conversations and go out of my way to speak Spanish as often as possible,” explains Katie Rohlfer, a student who participated in the Peru program. During her stay in Peru, Rohlfer and her classmates were able to experience some truly inspiring places. From walking the famous “Jiron de la Union” to climbing Machu Picchu and learning about ancient Incas, they were able to be fully immersed in the civilization there. Additionally, students took a Spanish course where they merged their language skills with the history and traditions of Latin American cultures, making their overall learning experience more well-rounded. The Study Abroad programs at UC Blue Ash College are transformative opportunities that not only broaden horizons, but promote culture, language, and most of all, the art of learning in every situation. For some students, it’s the ﬁ rst time they have traveled outside the U.S. or even outside Greater Cincinnati. The UC Blue Ash College 2020 Study Abroad programs will travel to England, Germany, Costa Rica and Canada with courses on topics that include environmentalism, economic development in Latin America, and French culture.

The Seven Hills School is pleased to announce it has been recognized as a 2020 Best School by Niche.com, the largest, data-driven website for researching and ranking K-12 schools, in state and local categories. Seven Hills was named “#1 Best College Prep Private High School” in Ohio and “#1 Best Private K-12 School,” “#1 Best Private High School,” and “#1 Best College Prep Private High School” in the Cincinnati area. “We are thrilled to be recognized as a top school in several Niche.com categories,” said Head of School Chris Garten. “The rankings reﬂ ect the academic drive and talents of our students, as well as what our faculty do, every day, to create a school where students not only excel, but feel motivated and inspired to do their best.” Niche.com analyzes statistical data from sources such as the U.S. Department of Education and the National Center for Education Statistics to determine a school’s rankings and grade. The website also factors in surveys and reviews by parents, alumni, and students when generating its outcomes. Taylor Evans, The Seven Hills School

Mariemont athletic director Tom Nerl receives national recognition The Ohio Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (OIAAA) announced that Mariemont Athletic Director Tom Nerl has been selected to receive top professional honors. Nerl will be earning the National Interscholastic Athletic Directors (NIAAA) “Distinguished Service Award” at the 2019 national conference in December and is one of only two Athletic Directors in the state of Ohio to receive this national acclaim.

Nerl has served as the Mariemont Athletic Director for the past 15 years and has earned numerous recognitions throughout his professional career, including the 2010 OIAAA Southwest District “A.D. of the Year”, 2012 “Ohio Award of Merit”, and the Southwest Ohio District’s “Citation”, “Distinguished Service” and “Professional Development” awards during the past seven years. He has served both the Southwest District as well as the NIAAA in numerous capacities. He has been a Southwest Nerl District oﬃ cer since 2009, having served as the organization’s president from 20132015. He currently oversees the Mentorship program for Ohio’s Southwest District. At the national level, Nerl has been an active committee member on the Hall of Fame and Mentoring Committees and participated as a national workshop moderator from 2014 through 2018. He also has been a Leadership Training Institute (LTI) instructor at both the state and national levels for multiple years and is currently on the LTI 502 National Faculty for the NIAAA. Nerl oversees 41 athletic teams at Mariemont High School and Mariemont Junior High School. “Tom Nerl is a fantastic athletic director and is very deserving of this national recognition” said Mariemont City Schools superintendent Steven Estepp. “Tom works tirelessly every day to better our student athletes, coaches and teams and we are very lucky to have him leading our athletic program.” Nerl will receive his award in National Harbor (Washington, D.C.) during the National Athletic Directors Conference December 12-17, 2019. Over 2,000 interscholastic athletic administrators from around the country, along with over 100 international athletic directors, attend the annual event. Alex Lange, Mariemont City Schools
