YO U ’ L L B E Delighted

This local theater’s been doing live shows since November David Lyman Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

“When the pandemic started, we were just like every other theater,” said Kim Kern, the Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati’s CEO and managing director. “We had a Plan A. And a Plan B. And a Plan C. And then we had everything else down to Plan Z.” Also like every other theater, TCT had hopes of returning to the stage by Thanksgiving. But unlike most of those other theaters, TCT actually did it. “The Velveteen Rabbit,” a stage adaptation of the heart-wrenching children’s classic, opened on Nov. 12. Normally, that’s the time of year that TCT would be staging mega-musicals in Downtown’s 2,500-seat Taft Theatre. Not this year. Too few schools would be available to attend. Besides, the safety protocols mandated by various government entities would keep the audiences so small – just 15 percent of normal capacity – that staging a big musical would be economically impractical. Instead, TCT turned to its 152-seat Storytime Theatre, housed in the company’s headquarters on Red Bank Road. Normally, the space is used by students of the TCT Academy. But there was nothing normal about these time. Besides, TCT felt an urgency to get back onstage. “Our mission is to do live entertainment,” said producing artistic director Roderick Justice. “So we had to fi gure out a way to do it.” It wouldn’t be easy, though. Those same guidelines that made Taft shows impossible applied to the Storytime Theatre, too. That meant a maximum audience of just 44 people. “That was enough for me,” said Justice. “If we open the house and there are 12 people in the audience, we will do the show with as much energy and commitment as if there were 1,200 people there. And those people will have the times of their lives.” There were other things to consider, though. When it comes to COVID-19, actors and singers are regarded as “super-spreaders.” Think about it. Even when we’re wearing masks and speaking normally, we’re supposed to stay six feet apart. But actors need their voices to be heard in every corner of a theater. So they speak more forcefully. Unfortunately, it’s not just their voices that carry farther. Those minute particles of sa-

liva – the ones that can carry viruses – cover more ground, too. The solution? Masks. Not the same things you and I wear. Rather, these were incorporated into the costumes designed by Jeff Shearer. At fi rst, you don’t even notice that they’re there. But look closer at the costume of the title character, played by A. James Jones. He’s wearing a mask that looks like a rabbit’s distinctive nose. But the over-

all shape is almost identical to the utilitarian noseand-mouth coverings recommended for all of us. For actors, there is a downside to masks; they muffl e the speaking voice. What good is a mask if the audience can’t understand what you’re saying? Justice and company had an answer to that one, too. They recorded the dialogue so that actors wouldn’t have to speak while onstage. Essentially, the actors are See THEATER, Page 2A

Ohio’s COVID-19 overnight curfew extended again Jackie Borchardt Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Ohio's COVID-19 curfew will be renewed for a third time, Gov. Mike DeWine said Thursday. DeWine said the curfew is still needed to control the spread of the novel coronavirus, while balancing the need to keep businesses open. Ohioan have been asked to stay at home – with lots of exceptions – from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. since Nov. 19. The original

three-week curfew was renewed on Dec. 10. It was set to expire Jan. 23. "We would love to get rid of it," DeWine said. "The next step would be to take it to 11 o' clock but we're not there." The curfew had been a compromise between the Republican governor and businesses to avoid closing bars, restaurants, gyms and other indoor spaces where patrons linger for longer than 15 minutes and it's diffi cult to wear a mask. The curfew also replaced an earlier health order prohibiting alcohol sales after 10 p.m. and consumption at bars and restaurants after 11 p.m. DeWine has said the curfew has reduced COVID-19 spread, but that's a diffi cult claim to prove. During the fi rst weeks of the curfew, new cases and hospitalizations continued to spike.

Ohio has had an overnight curfew, intended to curb COVID-19 spread, since Nov. 19. ALBERT CESARE / THE ENQUIRER

miming the show to a pre-recorded soundtrack. It’s not ideal. But it works. And, said Kern, it has enabled the theater to achieve a measure of stability during a decidedly unstable time. “We have not had to furlough or lay off any of our full-time staff . I think we are the only local theater to accomplish that. People have taken on other responsibilities that they don’t normally do. But everybody stayed employed.” “The Velveteen Rabbit” closed just before Christmas. But TCT has new shows – live shows – to take its place. “Garfi eld, the Musical with Cattitude,” runs Jan. 21-Feb. 14, followed by “Rapunzel’s Hairy Fairy Tale” (Feb. 25March 21). All these shows will be available online through “Broadway On Demand” (https://bit.ly/3i98Xoj). Several other TCT shows are available there, too, including “Martin’s Dream,” “Jaqueline and the Beanstalk” and “Harriet Tubman: Straight Outta’ the Underground.”

A. James Jones played the title role in the Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati’s production of “The Velveteen Rabbit.” After performing for live audiences in November and December, a fi lmed version of the show is available online. PROVIDED/MIKKI SCHAFFNER

While the Middle School was bypassed in the fi rst round, administrators believed having the program at the Elementary and High School levels would benefi t the Middle School because of the proximity of the campuses and the collaboration between leadership teams. Nazzarine said a team of Middle School and district staff worked on the grant proposal. “Although 2020 was a challenging time for all of us, it gave us the opportunity to refl ect, assess and plot our course for the future,” Nazzarine said. “It truly was a team eff ort, and I for one am so grateful to work with such outstanding people who truly put our students fi rst. 2021 is here and we are so excited to begin this new chapter in our literacy department.” The grant will help build on work already underway at the Middle School, Nazzarine said. “The awesome parallel that the Middle School has with these goals is that we have been working on building vocabulary content and our cross-curricular instruction across all grade levels and core classes. CNE Middle School teachers meet every Thursday to have these discussions as they plan for the following week and discuss student concerns,” she said. According to data its original application, 67 percent of students entering Kindergarten in the CNE district in 2019 (72 students) were “signifi cantly defi cient in language and literacy skills” – that’s a rate almost double the state average of 38 percent. How will they know the program is working? In the younger grades, there are specifi c benchmarks measured through assessment that take place three times a year. At the high school level, a rise in state scores will provide a good indicator of progress. As the middle school is the bridge between the two, success will be measured by the number of eighth-graders who meet or exceed profi ciency on the State of Ohio ELA Air Assessment. “One thing we assume when kids

come to high school is that they can read. That doesn’t always happen, of course,” High School Principal T.J. Glassmeyer said last summer. Beyond improving literacy, CNE wants to position itself as a leader, or mentor, for districts that did not win the grant, Nazzarine said. “It will be our job to help build capacity in state literacy as a mentor after we have fi nished the process. We could be chosen as a model site out of 64 sites in the state of Ohio,” she said. “To be chosen as a model site, we will need to show proof of performance through data and literacy foundation building in our (grades) six-to-eight programming. The state will look to our leadership team to provide evidence-based models that other districts can adopt and implement in their own schools.” National education leaders will also be monitoring CNE’s progress. Representatives from the United States Department of Education will interview CNE team members regarding their process and materials used, as well as collecting data. CNE team members will be part of the Departments of Literacy Academy. “We will attend several sessions to help guide us through this process and to build our literacy plan to implement and assess our work in this grant,” Nazzarine said. “Ultimately, it is our goal to be professional presenters.” “We will also share our Rockets’ performance on the Ohio State AIR Assessment 6-8. We have had teachers present at the state level for math and would like to add literacy to our list of accomplishments.” The state guidelines were very specifi c, and the district has little to no leeway is how it spends the money. Superintendent Michael Brandt said this was one the fi rst grants he’s seen where a district had to demonstrate capacity before it was permitted to apply. Dick Maloney, Clermont Northeastern Schools

UC Clermont paralegal program offers free legal clinics this spring UC Clermont College’s paralegal program will off er four free virtual legal clinics to local residents in the coming months. The clinics, sponsored by a grant from the Ohio State Bar Foundation, of-

fer clients the opportunity to receive professional legal assistance, with local attorneys providing support alongside UC Clermont paralegal students and faculty members. And for the paralegal students participating, the events off er priceless practical experience. “Our paralegal students get handson experience helping real-world clients,” said David Myers, paralegal instructor and clinic director. “This kind of experiential learning provides our students with more marketable skills, increased confi dence, improved job prospects and greater professional success. Plus, the UC Clermont Legal Clinics directly serve the local community and its residents, improving access to justice and giving a hand-up to those who need it most during these challenging times.” Because of COVID-19, the format of the clinics is currently virtual, which helps the program reach clients in counties east of Cincinnati, such as Clermont, Brown and Highland, as well as across Ohio. Residents there sometimes experience economic and geographic barriers to accessing legal services, Myers said. Upcoming clinic dates and topics (details can also be found at https:// ucclermont.edu/legal-clinics): h Thursday, Feb. 4, 6:30-8 p.m.: Advance Directives (living wills and powers of attorney) h Thursday, March 4, 6:30-8 p.m.: Unemployment (new applications and stalled applications in progress) h Thursday, March 25, 6:30-8 p.m.: Advance Directives (living wills and powers of attorney) h Thursday, April 15, 6:30-8 p.m.: Unemployment (new applications and stalled applications in progress) All clinics are free of charge to clients.

The program will follow strict ethical requirements to protect client confi dentiality. Paralegals may not provide legal services directly to the public, except as permitted by law.

Cincinnati named best midsize racing city Charlie Goldsmith Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati recently received recognition as the best midsize city for runners in the United States. Because of the popularity of events like the Flying Pig Marathon and the Queen Bee Half Marathon, RaceRaves named Cincinnati the best midsize racing city and the second best racing city in the country, behind Boston. "We're honored to play such an important role in seeing Cincinnati ranked tops for runners," said Iris Simpson Bush, CEO of Pig Works, the umbrella organization for the Flying Pig, Queen Bee and TQL Beer Series, in a press release. "But you only have to drive downtown or in the neighborhoods on Saturday mornings to see why we're ranked number one: The runners who train in all kinds of weather are the ones who earned the city this honor." The 2021 Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon Weekend is currently scheduled for April 30-May 2, and registration is currently open.

Runners start the 21st annual Flying Pig Marathon Sunday, May 5, 2019. ALBERT CESARE / THE ENQUIRER

More sex charges fi led against former Bethel-Tate coach Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A second former student at BethelTate High School has alleged that a onetime coach there sexually abused her more than a decade ago, according to court documents. The charges, outlined in documents fi led this month in Clermont County Common Pleas Court, are the most recent against 41-year-old Chad Willhoff , who is listed as living in Union Town-

ship. Willhoff is now charged with sex offenses involving three alleged victims, two girls and a boy. The new charges alWillhoff lege that Willhoff , in 2007 and 2008, had sex with the girl when he was employed as a girls’ soccer coach at Bethel-Tate and she was a student. He would have been about 28 at the time. Willhoff faces charges of unlawful

sexual conduct with a minor and sexual battery. Willhoff resigned from the school in February 2007, saying he intended to earn a bachelor’s degree in education at Northern Kentucky University. Willhoff was fi rst charged in July 2020 with sexual abuse of another girl between 2002 and 2007. Most of those charges surround alleged off enses that happened when the girl was a student at the high school. She is a relative of Willhoff . Documents say she was 12 when the alleged abuse began.

Offi cials have said he also coached boys and girls track as well as girls basketball at the high school. In November, he was charged with alleged sex crimes dating back to the mid-1990s when he was a teenager in Bethel. Willhoff and the male victim were neighbors at that time, offi cials have said. In that case he is charged with one count of rape and multiple counts of gross sexual imposition. Willhoff is free on bonds totaling $300,000, court records show.

Mount Orab bar cited for 10 p.m. curfew violation Quinlan Bentley Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Undercover agents observed dozens of patrons inside a Brown County bar past 10 p.m. Jan. 16, a violation of the Ohio Department of Health's COVID-19 curfew mandate. The Bar, located at 106 South High St. in Mount Orab, unlocked its doors and

allowed a group of patrons to enter the establishment at 10:50 p.m., according to a release from the Ohio Investigative Unit. Offi cials said plainclothes agents were among the group that was let into the bar. Once inside, agents observed around 40 patrons inside, with the bar operating as normal, offi cials said. The establishment did not immedi-

ately respond to messages from The Enquirer seeking comment. A citation for improper conduct and disorderly activity has been issued, offi cials said. State agents were assisted by offi cers from the Mount Orab Police Department. The case will go before the Ohio Liquor Control Commission, with potential penalties including fi nes and sus-

pension of liquor permits. While the state's ban on late-night alcohol sales has been lifted, the curfew order, which fi rst took eff ect Nov. 19 but has since been extended, still prohibits patrons from going out for drinks past 10 p.m. Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Jan. 17.

Local home sales set new record for 2020 Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Greater Cincinnati set a new record for home sales in 2020, besting the previous record for the total number of units sold at the height of the housing boom just before the Great Recession. Over the past 12 months, 26,687 single-family homes and condos were sold in the local area, edging out the previous record of 26,560 homes sold in 2005, according to the Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors. Annual sales last year were up about 4% from a robust 2019, according to the Realtor group's latest report Friday. The average annual price for the year also set a new record, climbing about

10% from 2019 to $247,626. “December real estate activity capped a historic year for the region,” said Stephanie Sudbrack-Busam, president of the Realtors' group. "Despite a dip during the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, real estate sales and prices continued record-setting levels.'' And the home sales hot streak shows no signs of cooling off . In December alone, which is traditionally a time when homes sales begin to wane, there were 2,267 units sold, up 21% from December 2019. The average price for December also rose 12% to $254,705, compared to the same month a year earlier. "We defi nitely didn't see the slowdown that we typically see around the

holidays,'' said Donna Deaton, a Realtor with Re/Max Victory in Liberty Township. Deaton said historically low mortgage rates, which averaged 2.72% for a 30-year, fi xed-rate loan in December, have helped to draw throngs of buyers into the market. And the seemingly insatiable demand for housing coupled with a severely limited supply of new and existing homes has helped pushed home prices up for each of the past 20 months, according to the board of Realtors' report. Last month, there were just 2,001 listings in the Greater Cincinnati area, down about 42% from December 2019, setting a new low for inventory. "I think inventory is going to be tight

until at least the spring of 2022,'' Deaton said. "If someobdy's waiting for a great deal, you really can't aff ord to wait.'' Buyers have to act fast as well, she said. "We're still seeing homes get multiple off ers, and I'm talking about ten to 20 off ers on one property,'' she said. "If you don't make an off er right away, there's somebody else at the door waiting.'' In fact, Cincinnati was the fastestselling housing market in the nation last fall, with homes selling in an average of 18 days in October, according to a Re/ Max National Housing Report. "It's just crazy out there,'' Deaton said. "That's the only way I can describe it.''

SPORTS New football stadium coming to Purcell Marian Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

EAST WALNUT HILLS - Since opening in 1928, Purcell Marian High School has played on many football fi elds. None of them were their own. The Cavaliers have produced NFL talent like Hall of Famer and Heisman winner Roger Staubach and Terry Killens. They won an Ohio state championship in 1986 playing at Ohio Stadium in Columbus. But, regardless of being the home team, they’ve always traveled. In recent years, Purcell Marian used the University of Cincinnati’s Sheakley Center. Last season they used Marx Stadium on the campus of Walnut Hills when the Eagles weren’t at home. Current plans call for continued games there or at Norwood’s Shea Stadium. But, hope is on the way as Purcell Marian has announced plans for a stadium of their own. An adjacent lot has been purchased as well as the property of the Gilligan Funeral Home on Woodburn Avenue. A project estimated at roughly $3 million could have the Cavaliers marching from their own locker room to an on-campus stadium in a couple of years. The stadium is independent of all school fundraising and specifi c plans will be released in the coming months. D.J. Dowdy is a former University of Cincinnati tight end who now serves as athletic director at Purcell Marian, as well as head football coach. “It’s been a long-talked-about thing,” Dowdy said of the endeavor. “For us given the times right now to be able to acquire those two properties is a big deal.” The Cavaliers do have a practice fi eld next to the school but it’s approximately three-quarters of a regulation fi eld if that. Prior to its construction, Purcell Marian football players were bused to Eden Park to practice on grass that sometimes would contain uncomfortable rocks. See STADIUM, Page 2B

OHSAA rules on expanded playoff s, winter tournaments Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Jan. 14. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. The Ohio High School Athletic Association Board of Directors approved football regulations Jan. 14 related to the expansion of playoff s. Because of the added week of playoff s approved last May, the season will begin a week earlier with the fi rst Friday of competition starting Aug. 20. Two scrimmages will be permitted between Aug. 6-14 with one or both being a jamboree (where money may be collected). The early start will allow the regular season to conclude Oct. 23 with the fi rst of six weeks of playoff s beginning Oct. 30. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic that aff ected 2020's playoff set-up, eight teams from Divisions I-VII qualifi ed from each region. This past season saw the OHSAA open up the playoff s to all schools given the shortened season. In 2021 there will be 12 qualifi ers from each region, again based on computer rankings factoring in strength of competition and win-loss record. For example, in 2019 when such rankings were used, several local teams that were eliminated mathematically would now qualify. Had 12 teams been allowed in 2019, West Clermont, Lakota East, Sycamore and Walnut Hills would have qualifi ed in Division I with 5-5 records. In Division II, Winton Woods, Anderson and Talawanda would have made it when the 2019 system kept Winton Woods at home when they could only get in nine games. Winton Woods defeated eventual Division II champion La Salle that season. In Division III, Hughes, Goshen and Mount Healthy would have been playoff teams as well as Bethel-Tate and McNicholas in Division IV, Mariemont and Clermont Northeastern in Division V, Deer Park in Division VI and Lockland in Division VII. The new expansion will have the top four seeds in each region receiving fi rstround byes then the No. 5 seed playing the No. 12, No. 6 vs. No. 11, No. 7 vs. No. 10 and No. 8 vs. No. 9. In the second round, the No. 1 seed would play the winner of the 8 vs. 9 game; the No. 2 seed will play the winner of 7 vs. 10; the No. 3 seed will play the

winner of 6 vs. 11 and the No. 4 seed will play the winner of 5 vs. 12. The expansion will increase the number of football playoff qualifi ers from 224 to 336. Also Jan. 14, the OHSAA gave updates on winter tournaments: SWIMMING AND DIVING: The state tournament will remain at C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton Feb. 24-27, but the format will be adjusted to remove preliminary sessions in swimming and complete each division in one day (timed fi nals) and allow a minimal number of people on the pool deck. The Division II girls swimming and diving fi nals will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 24, followed by Division II boys on Thursday, Feb. 25, Division I girls on Friday, Feb. 26 and Division I boys on Saturday, Feb. 27. Two spectators will be permitted for each diving state qualifi er, while only one spectator will be permitted for each swimming state qualifi er. Also of note, several sectional and

The new facility will off er convenience and be enticing to future and former Cavaliers to see. The ground will have to be leveled before the fi eld, the stands and the lights can be installed The project is still in Phase 1, according to Dowdy. A formal groundbreaking is ahead and certainly a campaign for funds. Obviously, once demolition of the stadium property starts and construction begins, the practice fi eld space will also go away with eff orts moved to the new fi eld. “We’ll break ground on it this year,”

Dowdy said. “We’ve always been travelers having to play here and play there. An opportunity for us to bring sports on campus is good for the school. It’s even better for our kids. Our kids have a place to call home now, a place they can take pride in and really own.” Last season’s 4-5 record was as close as the Cavaliers have been to a winning mark in some time. It also included a pair of playoff victories. Dowdy’s hope is that some of the young players get to experience more wins, particularly in the new facility. “It’s a very exciting time over here on Hackberry (Street),” Dowdy said. “You look at the neighboring schools around us. They all have the facilities and fi elds on campus. For us to have this it’s pretty big for our kids and the kids coming.”

district tournaments do not yet have a pool confi rmed to host the event. GYMNASTICS: The state tournament will remain at Hilliard Bradley High School March 5-6, but the format and some traditional aspects of the state tournament will be adjusted, along with a reduced number of spectators. BOWLING: The state tournaments will remain at Wayne Webb’s Columbus Bowl Feb. 26-27 (Division II) and March 5-6 (Division I). The number of bowlers on qualifying teams will be reduced from eight to six bowlers per the COVID-19 guidelines established in the fall. The number of spectators permitted is still to be determined. ICE HOCKEY: The state tournament venue is to be determined, as it is not yet known if Nationwide Arena will be able to host the event. Also of note, the two district tournaments in Northeast Ohio will both be held at the Brooklyn Recreation Center instead of having one tour-

nament at Kent State University, which is not able to host the event. Spectator limitations are to be determined. WRESTLING: The state tournament will not be held at the Schottenstein Center, which is not able to host the event this year. The OHSAA is seeking three high schools, preferably in Central Ohio due to travel considerations, to each host a division. The district and state tournaments will include split sessions, with seven weight classes competing at a time, followed by a break and then the other seven weight classes. Spectator limitations are to be determined. BASKETBALL: The regional and state tournament sites are all to be determined. It is not yet known which of the previously announced sites will permit events to be held at their venue, or which will allow spectators. The OHSAA intends to use neutral sites for the regional tournaments.

COMMUNITY NEWS Anderson Township chosen as 2021 HOMEARAMA site Six decorated and landscaped homes in Anderson Township will be the featured attraction at the 2021 HOMEARAMA event, starting July 17 through August 1 in the Coldstream area. “It has been over 40 years since HOMEARAMA has been hosted in Anderson Township,” said Trustee Chair Josh Gerth. “We could not be more excited to welcome back the premier home show in Southwest Ohio for 2021.” Produced by the Home Builders Association of Greater Cincinnati, the showcase features homes in the Parkside Estates development that will include half acre lots along a wooded hamlet. Homes will start at in the $1 million range. Gerth noted that Anderson Township has taken steps in recent years to market and strengthen its amenities. “Over the past few years, we have taken a concerted eff ort through thoughtful engagement and planning to redevelop our riverfront, Downtown Anderson, Beechmont Avenue, and our neighborhood infrastructure,” he said. Developing new alternative living options for all ages has been high on the priority list for housing development, Gerth said. “Our goal is to create sustainable and responsible growth, while protecting the great things in our community like our schools, parks, Greenspace and trails. The fact that the “Home Builders Association has chosen Anderson Township this year, proves that we are doing the right things and remain one of the most desirable places to call home,” he said. Zicka Homes President Julie Zicka noted, “We are thrilled to be bringing HOMEARAMA back to Anderson Township. We were fortunate to obtain the land in such a desirable area,” she added. ”These outstanding homes will be great for walkout basements, and residents will enjoy the large lots situated in a tranquil setting.” Anderson Township

City of Loveland receives budget award The Government Finance Offi cers Association (GFOA) has awarded the City of Loveland, Ohio, its Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the fi scal year beginning Jan. 1, 2020. The award is considered a signifi cant achievement amongst government entities, refl ecting the commitment of city staff to meet the highest principles of Byrde governmental budgeting. In order to receive the budget award, the city had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for eff ective budget presentation.

Beech Acres Program receives threefold increase in Funding from L&L Nippert Charitable Foundation Cincinnati, Ohio – Parent Connext, a Beech Acres Parenting Center program that connects parents with individualized parenting support through a visit to or referral from a pediatrician, has received a generous $150,000 grant from the L&L Nippert Charitable Foundation, which is tripling its funding for the program because of the impact the pandemic is having on parents. “This tremendous investment from the L&L Nippert Charitable Foundation will ensure that parents continue to receive the help they need to support their children during this unprecedented, challenging time,” said Jill Huynh, vice president of new business development & Parent Connext, Beech Acres. “Parents are enduring incredible levels of stress, and the one-on-one coaching sessions from Parent Connext are helping them to become stronger parents, provide a safe environment for their children and build family resilience.”

Parent Connext places Beech Acres Parenting Specialists with eight TriHealth Pediatrics locations through a grant from bi3, from Mental Health Recovery Board Serving Warren & Clinton Counties and at Pediatric Associates of Northern Kentucky. Conveniently embedded in pediatric offi ces before the pandemic, Beech Acres Parenting Specialists have shifted their screening and coaching sessions to a telehealth approach to adjust to current social distancing guidelines. More than 20,000 families have been screened through the program. The specialists help pediatricians by screening for Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), which have the potential to impact long-term mental health, physical health, and behaviors, including smoking, alcoholism, drug use, missed work, depression, suicide attempts, heart disease, diabetes, severe obesity, cancer and stroke. People with a large number of ACEs can even have shorter life expectancy. Published research indicates that Cincinnati has a higher average number of children who experience ACEs than children elsewhere in Ohio or the U.S. Meanwhile, the eff ects of a diffi cult year in 2020 led to high levels of stress for parents, which creates additional ACEs for children. “Reducing ACEs translates to better prospects for the healthy development of children as they grow older. So Parent Connext is leading to stronger children and families, improved mental and physical health, and increased self-suffi ciency,” Huynh said. Telehealth appointments for Parent Connext during the pandemic have brought more fulfi lling experiences for parents. Appointment no-shows have dropped signifi cantly, and the parent attendance rate has jumped to 90 percent of all scheduled appointments. With telehealth, Beech Acres specialists can see families in their home settings, meet more of the family, and even witness certain family behaviors. Telehealth also removed barriers to coaching sessions such as transportation and childcare. Peter Osborne

Watch out for Social Security scams

Question: Terry in Batavia: My dad (who’s 85) recently got a call from someone claiming to be with Social Security and told him his number had been compromised. He thankfully hung up before they could get any personal information from him, but I’m just wondering if we should report this scam attempt to someone? A: We’re glad to hear that your father had the instincts to hang up – because not everyone does. Though it’s understandable when someone doesn’t, especially if you’re being threatened with a reduction of benefi ts or even jail time (two common scammer tactics). According to CNBC, more than half of all seniors have been the target of a Social Security scam over the last three months alone, whether in the form of an email, call, or text message, so this is defi nitely something to keep alert about. Remember, the Social Security Administration will not make an unsolicited phone call. And yes, we would suggest reporting this to the Social Security Administration. Your father (or you) can do so by calling the Inspector General’s fraud hotline at 1-800-269-0271, or via their website at: oig.ssa.gov. Q: H.T. from Florence: I’ve been working from home since last March, and I’ve had to buy some supplies and new furniture for my offi ce (my employer says they won’t reimburse me). Can I deduct any of these expenses on my taxes? A: If this situation had popped up before 2018, then the answer would have been ‘yes’ if these expenses exceeded two percent of your adjusted gross income. However, because of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (passed in December 2017), the answer is now ‘no.’ The law suspended any and all federal tax writeoff s related to an employee’s home offi ce until at least 2025. This, of course, could change if Congress passes future

coronavirus relief legislation – but there’s nothing on the horizon yet that indicates a provision related to home offi ce expenses would be included. We should note, however, that selfemployed workers can still claim home offi ce deductions – but the IRS defi nition of ‘home offi ce’ is very specifi c, as well as the criteria surrounding its usage. We highly recommend any self-employed individual to work directly with a tax professional to make sure all their ‘i’s’ are dotted and ‘t’s’ are crossed. Q: Greg from Butler County: Can you help settle a debate? My wife says I should use a credit card when shopping online, but I would rather use my debit card since I know the money’s there and don’t have to worry about paying a bill later. Which one of us is right? A: We’re going to have to side with your wife on this one. And it’s mostly due to the increased fraud protection that a credit card gives you. Because just think about it: If someone were to get access to your debit card information and make fraudulent purchases, that money is coming directly out of your bank account – there’s no third party that can be a buff er. And while not all credit cards are created equal, most of the biggest issuers off er purchase protection (among other perks like extended warranties, return guarantees, and automatic refunds) while debit cards do not. Of course, we would be remiss to encourage credit card usage without issuing our standard advice: Please practice responsible credit habits. This includes paying your credit card bills on time – and in full – every month. The Allworth Advice is that when you’re shopping online, use a credit card. That way, if you are hacked, the credit card company is fi ghting to get its money back – which is a much better scenario than you having to fi ght to get your money back. Every week, Allworth Financial’s Nathan Bachrach and Amy Wagner answer your questions. If you, a friend, or someone in your family has a money issue or problem, feel free to send those questions to yourmoney@enquirer.com. Responses are for informational pur-

Muff aletta sandwich is ‘so good for a party, or can stand on its own as a meal’ Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Looking at the calendar, I see the Super Bowl is coming up. I miss the big gatherings we’ve had at our home through the years. Yes, the house was crowded and yes, the kitchen got messy, but a small price to pay for comaraderie and good food. Are you feeling the same way? You and I know we have to keep our spirits up and still celebrate whatever comes our way, no matter how small. And food will play a part. This muff aletta sandwich is so good for a party, or can stand on its own as a meal or even as a side to a simple soup or chili. Check out my tip for taming the bite of any onion. Simple and eff ective!

Muffaletta is a great dish to enjoy while watching the Super Bowl.

Take the bite out of onions! Put slices in ice water for 20 minutes to several hours, then drain.

RITA HEIKENFELD/ FOR THE ENQUIRER

Tips from reader’s kitchens: convection oven vs standard Jennifer R. made my holiday roast in her convection oven. “It came to temperature faster than recipe stated,” she said. A convection oven cooks by allowing hot moving air to surround food, causing it to cook faster. Thanks, Jennifer!

Pandemic cooking: What’s your favorite/tried & true or new recipe? Is it a vintage recipe, like tapioca, that friend and colleague Lisa Mauch and her mom, Nancy made? What about substitutions? Any good tips there? Let me know and I’ll share in this column.

Drink trends for 2021 Butterfl y pea fl ower tea This cobalt blue fl ower is native to Southeast Asia. It has a beautiful color – the pea fl owers are on top and will be strained out. More on this later.
