Anderson delays vote on Clough Pike senior project Sheila Vilvens

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Developers hoping to win the necessary approvals from the Anderson Township Trustees for a senior living facility along Clough Pike instead received a request for more information. The trustees continued a Jan. 17 zone change hearing for Harmony Senior Living in Anderson development until a detailed traffic study is provided. About a dozen residents spoke at the hearing, most concerned about the impact the facility might have on area traffic, the environment, and compatibility with the surrounding area and the township’s comprehensive development plan. Trustee President Josh Gerth said questions were brought up by the residents that couldn’t be answered. It’s the township’s duty to have those answers, he said. The two other trustees agreed. Trustee Andrew Pappas said he doesn't usually travel Clough Pike. Over the past month, he said he made a point of traveling Clough at least once daily. It’s a narrow, two-lane road with a high volume of traffic, he said. The current plan is scaled-back from a version shared last year. Harmony Senior Living proposes building two buildings, both two-story, at 6201 and 6301 Clough Pike near Woods of Turpin Apartments and Motz Farm The facility would be a $30 million investment and have 90 beds for assisted living and 32 for memory care. It would employ and employ about 100 people. In order for the development to proceed, a zone change is required from single-family residence to a planned multiple residence. In December Anderson Township

Anderson Township Trustees had a nearly full house during its Jan. 17 meeting where it held a public hearing for a proposed zone change. SHEILA VILVENS/ENQUIRER

Zoning Commission approved the zone change request. Some residents were surprised by the action since earlier that month Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission recommended denial of the request because it was not consistent with the township’s land use plan. Residents collected 965 signatures on a petition opposing the develop-

ment. Turpin Hills resident Erinn Cox referenced the petition when addressing the trustees Thursday, Jan. 17. Cox also oﬀered suggestions on ways the development could be modiﬁed. These included scaling back the buildings to one-story to reduce the "step-up intensity," and requiring that the applicant connect the existing sidewalk in front of the apartments at the intersec-

tion of Clough and Newtown Road to the sidewalk at the intersection of Clough and Copperleaf Lane. If the zone change for the senior living facility is denied, the land could be developed for single-unit housing. Nineteen homes could be built on the land, according to township oﬃcials. The township trustees have the ﬁnal say on the zone change request.

Clermont Chorale concert to feature music of unheralded women composers Chuck Gibson Special to the Enquirer

Music you’ve never heard will be featured in the Clermont Chorale concert presentation of “Music She Wrote - But You Didn’t Hear.” There will be two separate performances at 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon, Feb. 3, at Anderson Hills United Methodist Church, and then again at 7 p.m. Monday evening Feb. 4, at Milford First United Methodist Church. This classical style formal concert is one of two they produce each year.

New wildlife area in Brown County open later this year

ODNR designated Eagle Creek Wildlife Area as the state’s 152nd wildlife area Jan. 11. From left are Robert Perin, Charles Perin Jr. and Charles H. Perin III. PROVIDED

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources will open a new wildlife area in Southwest Ohio later this year. Eagle Creek Wildlife Area is about 1,825 acres in southwest Brown County It's 4 miles north of Ripley, Ohio – about 36 miles from Cincinnati. The land is mainly timbered, with grassland ﬁelds in the bottoms along a 4-mile stretch of Eagle Creek. Wild turkey and whitetailed deer are abundant, with bobcat and bald eagle present as well. The property is also home to a diverse bat population including endangered and threatened species, according to Ohio Controlling Board documents. Female bats were also captured, indicating the property is an im-

portant location for maternity colonies raising the next generation of bats. ODNR oﬃcials have worked for years with the Robert Perin family to acquire the property and the ODNR Division of Wildlife closed the $4.1 million sale in December. The Perins wanted to keep the family farms together in memory of their father and for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy. The initial purchase of approximately 1,825 acres will be followed by a smaller purchase of 474 acres later this year for a total of 2,299 contiguous acres. The area will allow hunting, ﬁshing, trapping and wildlife viewing opportunities and opens to the public this fall.

❚ Treasurer: Resident At-large Member Kenneth Reed ❚ Past President: Butler County Commissioner T.C. Rogers OKI’s Board of Directors consists of 118 people of many of whom are elected oﬃcials. OKI is federally mandated and funnels about $40 million in transportation funds to construction and planning projects throughout its eightcounty, three-state region that includes:

Ohio’s Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren counties; Kentucky’s Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties and Dearborn County Indiana. OKI is a council of local governments, business organizations and community groups committed to developing collaborative strategies, plans and programs to improve the quality of life and economic development potential of the Tristate.

COMMUNITY BRIEF New OKI Board officers named to two-year terms The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) Board of Directors approved the appointment of new oﬃcers to lead the transportation planning organization for 2019.

are now believed to have been composed by his wife Clara Schumann. Today, the local composer and current adjunct professor of Music Composition at the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music, Ellen Harrison, has been recognized for her individual excellence in composition by the Ohio Arts Council in 2014 and again this year. “I am deeply grateful to the Ohio Arts Council for the recognition and for all they do to support artists throughout the area,” Harrison said. Harrison’s “Music Is” piece is a collaboration of her music composition and the lyrics of Joshua McGuire. That, along with pieces by Schumann, Beach, and Kassia will be among the 15 pieces by 15 female composers featured during the 50member Clermont Chorale concert performances of “Music She Wrote - But You Didn’t Hear.” Harrison will also speak at both performances along with six other women who have

achieved significant success in their chosen field. They will share their personal story at each performance with a focus on the challenges and accomplishments they’ve had along the way. “I may have been the only woman in my classes, but it was never a problem,” said Harrison. “I actually had fantastic opportunities. Berkley sent me to Paris for two years on scholarship.” Other speakers will include composer and conductor Dr. Andrea Ramsey, jazz singer Natalie Brady, writer and lawyer Beth Silvers, reporter Alexis Rogers, diversity consultant Priya Klocek, and Milford Schools superintendent Nancy House. The Carpenter’s hope this concert and the speakers will raise an awareness of the contributions made by women throughout the ages. “Over the year, it felt more and more right. It felt good because the theme solidified,” Carpenter said. “It’s time for people to know the female composers in music history.”

composers, they are out there,” Carpenter said. “Some of the music was quite expensive because it had to be shipped from Germany or France.” Shocked to ﬁnd only three women composers listed in the two-inch thick music reference they use, Carpenter’s dug deeper. They were surprised and motivated to ﬁnd many fascinating stories of women composers from the 800s to today. A composer named Kassia later became a Saint after she entered the convent and composed Christian hymns to honor St. Christina, a Christian martyr from Medieval times. Abundant stories reveal the struggles women courageously overcame then and now to be recognized in a culture still dominated by males. Amy Beach (1867-1944) was a child prodigy, amazing pianist and composer who disappeared after marrying a doctor only able to perform publicly again after his death.

Our sight should be front of mind Our eyes are our window to the world.Yet about 14 million Americans ages 12 and older have visual impairment—but 80% of those problems could be corrected through the use of glasses or surgery.

‘Urban Coyotes’ coming to a park near you With local coyote sightings on the rise, Great Parks of Hamilton County wants to help people learn how to coexist with the adaptable canine. Great Parks nature experts will discuss the habits and behavior of coyotes in a series of free “Urban Coyote” presentations to be oﬀered on Wednesday evenings in February at various parks. The events will be on the following Wednesdays at 7 p.m.: ❚ Feb. 6 at the Ellenwood Nature Barn in the Farbach-Werner Nature Preserve, 3455 Poole Road in Colerain Township. ❚ Feb. 13 at the Stonewood Lodge in Sharon Woods, 11450 Lebanon Road in Sharonville. ❚ Feb. 20 at the auditorium in the Woodland Mound, 8250 Old Kellogg Road in Anderson Township. ❚ Feb. 27 at the auditorium in Miami Whitewater Forest, 9001 Mount Hope Road in Crosby Township.

Vision loss plays a role in many other health conditions, including type 2 diabetes, depression, stroke, hearing loss and chronic kidney disease. It is also tied to increased risk of falls and injuries and even early death. Adults and children alike need regular eye exams.The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends: • For children, early eye health care is often coordinated by a pediatrician, with referrals to other providers as needed. Eye screenings should be done at birth, and then during well-child exams at 6 months, 1 or 2 years of age, 3 or 4 years of age and annually after age 5. • Adults who already have glasses, contacts or other diagnosed eye conditions typically need an annual exam, but should follow the recommendations of their eye care provider. • For adults without glasses, contacts or other eye conditions, it’s recommended to have a baseline screening at age 40, but people with diabetes, high blood pressure or family history of eye disease may need earlier screening. Adults ages 65 and older should have their eyes checked annually. At Interact for Health, we recognize that vision care is critical for children served by our school-based health centers. We continue to work with partners to ensure that local kids have access to vision care, either directly at their school or through referrals. Being able to see clearly can affect a person’s ability to be productive at school or work. A guide to local vision care resources is available through the Vision Coalition of Greater Cincinnati at www.vcgc.org or by contacting the Cincinnati Eye Institute Foundation at 1-866-466-2343. Dr. O’dell Moreno Owens is the president and chief executive officer of Interact for Health and InterAct for Change. Dr. Owens is a reproductive endocrinologist. He earned an MD, an OB/GYN residency and a master’s of public health degree from Yale University School of Medicine. He also obtained a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology at Harvard Medical School. In recent years, Dr. Owens has served as the Hamilton County Coroner, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College President, and Interim Health Commissioner and Medical Director of the Cincinnati Health Department.

Here’s how to spy on your kids’ phones Andrea Reeves

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

We all know there is an overwhelming number of scary apps, websites and people lurking behind them that pose real, physical threats to our children. We’ve all seen the horrifying headlines. We could react in fear and take devices and phones away from our kids. Or we could take a close look at the policies schools have in place. But aside from hammering into our kids’ brains how crucial internet safety is, randomly confiscating their devices and rifling through every nook and cranny (they can and will get stealthy and delete stuff before you can see), what can we do proactively to protect our children? We did a little digging through the app store and found that we mustn’t be the only ones seeking these answers. Here are five of the parental-control apps that stood out to us.

unGlue Parental Control App What sets it apart: The empowerment of the child to manage their time. The app enables them to earn extra screen time by completing chores, shelf a little time for a boring day and lets them see where they are spending the most time on their device. Parents, of course, get to know where the child is spending their time online, as well. Parents can also customize screen time. A simple tap of a toggle blocks adult content on a child’s phone. If screen time needs to be revoked, another toggle will turn off access to apps and internet. Also, when screen time is up, parents can be sent a notification. However, texting and calling aren’t blockable within the unGlue interface. unGlue also has a home monitor that allows limits to screen time and activity tracking on any device on the home wifi. There are articles under “Parent University” included in the app for tips on how to use the app, screen time advice, bad apps, apps to know, security tips and more. unGlue was one of the more expensive apps we tested. Try unGlue with a 13-day free trial. After that, it’s $11.99 per month or $99.99 per year.

SoaringSafe Parental Control What sets it apart: Claims to have more free “forever” features than any other parental control app. Blocks viruses and scams. Also reasonably

priced at $3.49-$4.99 per month. The free version includes monitoring unlimited devices, blocking 25 million porn and violent websites, filtering for search and YouTube, blocking categories of websites and apps and the ability to set a bedtime. You can’t, however, block apps or websites individually, pause the internet, or block viruses or scams for free. Blocking viruses is its additional superpower in paid mode. If you choose this app, use caution with the default settings. When setting up, the app asks if the child is 12 or under, 13-15 or 16 or over to select default filter settings, which can be later customized. For 12 or under, the default settings did not block YouTube videos, which is odd since pornography is easily found on YouTube. Roblox wasn’t blocked either, and that app has a chat feature (as does Fortnite) that gives players the ability to talk to other players they don’t know, posing a potential danger. It also allowed Netflix. All of these can be customized, however, simply by toggling them on or off. Custom filters can be added here, as well. Pause the internet, extend bedtime, set additional off-times for internet (mealtime, homework, school, etc.) and see recently visited sites. This app is $3.49 per month for 12 months or an option to pay by month at $4.99 per month.

Life360 What sets it apart: Track family members using GPS. The driver-protect option, great for new teen drivers. A fancier version of a smartphone’s included Find Friends or Find iPhone apps, Life360 charges $2.99 per month to give its users 30 days of tracking history, unlimited place alerts and local crime alerts (within the U.S. only). For an additional cost, Driver Protect can be added. Parents get driving analysis and crash detection. If a crash is detected by the app, the driver will receive a call. If the driver needs assistance, life 360 will dispatch emergency services to the location. A “circle” of people can be created to share location information. When others have downloaded the app, they can join the circle and will show up on the map as a pin with either their name or a photo if they’ve uploaded one to their proﬁle. A “checking in” will send a notiﬁcation of your location to the circle. A messaging function allows everyone in the circle to communicate. See KIDS’ PHONES, Page 6A

CLERMONT COUNTY Clermont commissioners revise participation rules Kyle Jones boils bagels before baking at The Bagelry in Over-the-Rhine PROVIDED

Helping you ﬁnd your favorite bagel in town Polly Campbell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Bagels are one of those foods people like to rate, to compare, to bemoan the absence of. If you're from New York City or Toronto, say, no bagel anywhere else will satisfy you. But, really, any bakery that understands a few things – that a bagel has to be boiled before baking so it gets that chewy outer crust that fights back when you eat it, that it's not meant to be a soft bread, that a bagel should be glossy and irregularly-shaped, that it should be good as-is the first day, toasted the second and go stale the third, that the added flavors are secondary to the basic structure – can give you a good bagel. There are several new bagel shops that do understand all that, successfully tackling the simple but demanding bagel process. They are joining a few veterans in Cincinnati that also get it. Each of these shops has something unique to offer, and all are candidates to become your favorite new bagel. Most of them are centrally located, you might say in the hole of the bagel that is Greater Cincinnati. Here are four new independent bagel bakers that take an artisanal approach to their product: Five One Three Bagels: By a sliver, these are my favorite. Bagel maker Kim Hoover has got the outside just right: nice and chewy, with an interior that has a flavor of its own. A pre-ferment and long rise develop complexity. And she plays with some fun variations: I really like the blueberry with lemon glaze, a tangy sweet bit of icing you don't normally associate with a bagel. And the pistachio apricot. The downside: she doesn't have a shop. For now, she's making bagels at Findlay Kitchen, and sells at some farmers markets (this time of year, Madeira on Thursday), at Grassa, the gelato place in Madeira, on Saturday, and is looking for a permanent location. www.fiveonethreebagelco.com OTR Bagelry: I got a little jealous of you who live in OTR when I picked up some bagels here. You could get up early, take the dog for a walk, stop in for half a dozen bagels and walk back home for breakfast. But the rest of us can buy good bagels here, too. They do a good long proof on their bagels. That is, they let them rise, refrigerated, 24-48 hours. It develops flavor, and the result is a nice chewy bagel that's good on its own. But they have some good varieties of cream cheese, I especially love their roasted vegetable. And they get their lox from Acme in Brooklyn. Open 7 a.m.-2 p.m. daily. 1401 Walnut St., Over-the-Rhine, www.otrbagelry.com OTR Bagel Bar: The bagels at this Findlay Market bagel shop are quite distinctive, with a sort of stretchy interior texture. It gives them a super-fresh doughy flavor that I quite like. You can stop in for a dozen on your weekly trip to the market, but it's also a place to hang. Their little space is filled with art and

vintage furniture. Owner Marshall Mann said he thinks of it as a bar with no alcohol. Also, they have gluten-free bagels, which I have not tried. Open 6 a.m.-3 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday; 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Sunday. 107 W. Elder St. at Findlay Market, www.facebook.com/otrbagelbar Lil's Bagels: Lil's is a fun experience. You order from a window – sorry, windough – in the side of the building in Covington that has been Greenup Cafe and NuVo. The bagels are very chubby, with a good chew. Almost too chubby and too good a chew for sandwiches. And yet, I love their sandwiches. They make a really good pastrami bacon, which goes on the Gawd Father with pimento cheese and fried green tomato. I like the Judy Garden cream cheese, which is bright pink from beets. Open 7 a.m.-2 p.m. Wednesday-Friday, 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 308 Greenup St., Covington, 859-412-6922, www.lilsbagels.com

More bagels I like: Marx Hot Bagels has been taking care of Cincinnati's bagel needs for a long time, since 1969. They've been my go-to-bagel for years. They are moderately chewy, not quite as flavorful on their own as some of the new rivals. But you can get all the great Jewish dairy-deli toppings like whitefish salad or egg salad, baked salmon salad, smoked trout, usually piled up enough to cover two bagels. Their lox cream cheese is my top choice in schmears. And they are kosher certified. Open 6 a.m.-8 p.m. daily. 9701 Kenwood Road, Blue Ash, 513-891-5542, www.marxhotbagels.com Bruegger's: A national chain, I think these bagels stand up quite well. They've got the boiled glossy chew down, have a reasonable number of interesting flavor variations, and have four locations here, in Madeira, Hyde Park Plaza, Clifton and ColumbiaTusculum. www.brueggers.com And here are bagel shops that might be closer to you: Everything Bagels has been making bagels at their location in Eastgate for 10 years. They serve bagel sandwiches along with soups, salads and wraps. 792 Eastgate South Drive, Union Township, 513-9472245. Emo's Bagel House in Florence is part of Emerson's Bakery and makes several kinds of bagels every morning. 8459 US 42, Florence, 859-371-5121. Big Apple Bagels is a franchise store in Anderson Township, 7157 Beechmont Ave., 513-232-9900, www.bigapplebagels.com. Skip's has two locations, plus they supply Bagel Stops, which is where I have them from time to time. 12092 Montgomery Road, Symmes Township, 513677-3354 and 7132 Cincinnati-Dayton Road, West Chester, 513-777-54444. Einstein Bagels aren't much better than round bread, I have to say, and neither are Panera's.

This is a do-it-all app that offers GPS locator as well as screen time management for a decent price. This is the only app we tested that blocks text apps if wanted. It’s also good at blocking internet, adult content, specific websites and apps. Like many of the other apps we tried, parents can create a schedule of screen time on OurPact. On the kid-tracking side, it offers “geofencing,” the creation of boundaries on a map within the app where kids are allowed and aren’t allowed to go. So if they’re out riding their bikes in the neighborhood, a parent can create boundary lines they can’t cross without the parent’s knowledge. The child’s location and location of all devices paired with the app can be seen with the use of a map in the app. There’s even a find my iPhone and iPad feature. Another unique feature: OurPact alerts parents to newly-installed apps and location activity. A free one-week trial is offered, then plus and premium options. Plus is $1.99 per month and allows the parent to create screen time schedules, limit device use and manage devices remotely. For $6.99, premium gives full access to the app’s capabilities, including the GPS tracking features.

Google Family Link What sets it apart: it’s free. While we didn’t get a chance to test this, it is a free option. Like the other apps, Family Link allows parents to view their kids’ activity, manage apps (as well as manage in-app purchases) and hide apps on their devices. Setting screen time limits and device locking are options. This app also has a GPS-tracking feature. Some reviews we read state that Family Link doesn’t do everything some users want it to. But since it’s free, we think it’s worth checking out.

Start something with homemade friendship bread Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

The past couple weeks I’ve had a hankering for Amish friendship bread. Judging from requests coming in, so have you. Maybe it’s the short, frigid days of

winter. A slab of warm, fragrant friendship bread with a cup of hot lemon tea…you get the idea. A fun project that’s meant to share. Read the recipe and see what I mean. First make a fermented “sour dough” starter. Tips: Refrigerating or freezing starter Refrigerate for a couple of days or

freeze up to several months. Bring to room temperature before you do anything with it. Can you use a bowl? Yes, glass, ceramic or stainless steel. Stir with a wooden or stainless spoon. Sealed bags look like balloons. That’s fermentation. Let some air out, then reseal.

Friendship bread #l 1 cup starter ⁄3 cup oil

3 eggs 1 cup sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon 11⁄2 teaspoons baking powder ⁄2 teaspoon salt

Ten-day friendship bread starter

⁄2 teaspoon baking soda

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour

⁄4 cup warm water 110-115 degrees

Handful dried fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, etc. if you want

1 package active dry yeast (2 ⁄4 teaspoons) 1

To sprinkle in pans and/or on top of batter:

Pinch of sugar to feed yeast

⁄3cup sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

1 cup all purpose flour 1 cup sugar

Instructions

1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 325.

Instructions

Beat starter, oil and eggs together. Whisk dry ingredients together and then mix with starter mixture.

Pour the warm water into a bowl and sprinkle yeast over. Stir in pinch of sugar. Let stand until it dissolves and looks foamy, about 5 minutes or so.

Spray 2 loaf pans, 9x5. If using cinnamon sugar mixture, coat bottom and sides, dumping out excess to sprinkle on top. (You can also make half of this amount and just sprinkle it on top).

In a separate bowl, whisk flour and sugar together. Stir in the milk and then the yeast mixture. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand until bubbly.

The concept behind friendship bread is to make some and share the starter with friends. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Divide batter into pans. Sprinkle rest of cinnamon mixture on top if using.

Then pour it into a gallon zippered plastic bag and seal. Do not refrigerate during fermentation. This counts as Day 1.

Day 6: Add 1 cup of flour, sugar and milk. Mash bag to mix well.

Divide 1 cup portions of starter, placing each in separate sealed plastic bags.

Day 7: Mash bag.

Day 2: Mash bag.

Day 8: Mash bag.

Day 3: Mash bag.

Day 9: Mash bag.

Day 4: Mash bag.

Day 10: Pour into bowl. Add 1⁄2 cup each flour, sugar and milk. Mix well.

Keep 2 cups for yourself if you want to continue keeping a starter or 1 if you’re only making bread. (The starter then goes back to Day 1). Give away rest with instructions.

Bake 50-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes then remove from pans.

Day 5: Mash bag.

Now you’re ready to make friendship bread!

Friendship bread #2, with pudding This is sweeter. Mix in 2 small boxes of instant pudding to the batter.

Viewpoints How can we stop being jerky customers? Take 5 Melanie Laughman Columnist Cincinnati Enquirer

In a recent trip to a grocery store, I grabbed my usual few items in a hand basket and took my wares to the cashier’s counter. I set the basket on the table (not a conveyor belt, just a small table) and started to reach for my wallet. I looked up and the cashier was just staring at the basket, not moving. I asked her if everything was OK, and she replied, “I never remove items from baskets.” I didn’t realize that was a thing. I simply thought the eﬀort to grab something from inside a basket was the same as it was on a table. I’m happy to learn the right way to be, so it wasn’t a big deal to do as she wanted. Got to thinking: Have I been a jerk all this time and not known? Facebook opinions were 50-50 on whether that’s truly an etiquette thing or whether she was just cranky. What else have I been ﬂubbing up? I asked friends to explain what circumstances they wished customers understood about jobs they had. In other words, when are customers just not right? The general truth seems to be that people who’ve never worked in customer service have unrealistic expectations. Inconsiderate cell phone users dur-

ing checkout, people who get mad at employees if the store is out of the product they seek, people who make a line of people behind them wait while they get something they forgot and people who treat pharmacists like they only count pills for a living were just a few quick hits my friends offered to support that truth. School teacher Sylvia Hammons asked me to remind people that school is not a daycare. Dropping kids off early or coming to pick them up late has a ripple effect people generally forget. “While families are ‘our customers,’ they need to understand that teachers have a schedule to follow, too, and dropping kids off early and picking them up late prevents teachers from getting other responsibilities done. I’d say probably the same for sports coaches,” she said. Planning for these circumstances is important. Part of planning, however, isn’t giving your sick kid Tylenol that wears off in two hours so everyone ultimately has to deal with it (nurses, parents, teachers, classmates) anyway. Former Community Press writer Liz Carey gave another example: Her husband used to work at CompUSA where a woman screamed at him for 15 minutes because his company didn’t sell film for her digital camera. I’ll give you a second to reread that. For her contribution, Leslie Kohlman talked about the bane of restaurant managers: The habitual complainers who come in to get free meals. I waited tables at Ground Round when the company had penny-per-

pound day for kids meals. You’d be surprised how hard people will work to avoid paying for meals, even 65-cent dinners. Tara Stroud had another restaurant issue. Some people don’t understand how reservations/call-ahead/seating issues work. “So many factors come into play when seating guests, i.e. party size, time of arrival, closed sections, smoking/non-smoking (used to), etc. I can’t tell you how many times I had to ﬁeld a customer complaint because of how they thought it should go. Everyone knows more than the employees when they want to be seated.” Now, it’s understandable what most consumers deal with: Tight home budgets, too many stressors and too much to do with no time to do it. However, no one gets paid enough to be a customer’s human ﬁdget spinner. It’s sad people talk to customer service workers in manners they’d never tolerate someone talking to their own loved ones. For the record, when I have a handheld basket at the grocery store, I now ask cashiers if they want me to remove items from those baskets. So far, no one cared one way or the other, but it was nice to ask. The Golden Rule isn’t so hard to remember. Melanie Laughman is the digital preps planning editor for high school sports.

Dear Mom and Dad: Cool it at high school sporting events Karissa Niehoff and Jerry Snodgrass Guest Columnists

If you are the mother or father of a high school athlete here in Ohio, this message is primarily for you. When you attend an athletic event that involves your son or daughter, cheer to your heart’s content, enjoy the camaraderie that high school sports offer and have fun. But when it comes to verbally criticizing game officials or coaches, cool it. Make no mistake about it. Your passion is admired, and your support of the hometown team is needed. But so is your self-control. Yelling, screaming and berating the officials humiliates your child, annoys those sitting around you, embarrasses your child’s school and is the primary reason Ohio has an alarming shortage of high school officials. It’s true. According to a recent survey by the National Association of Sports Officials, more than 75 percent of all high school officials say "adult behavior" is the primary reason they quit. And 80 percent of all young officials hang up their stripes after just two years of whistle blowing. Why? They don’t need your abuse. Plus, there’s a ripple effect. There are

more officials over 60 than under 30 in many areas. And as older, experienced officials retire, there aren’t enough younger ones to replace them. If there are no officials, there are no games. The shortage of licensed high school officials is severe enough in some areas that athletic events are being postponed or cancelled – especially at the freshman and junior varsity levels. Research confirms that participation in high school sports and activities instills a sense of pride in school and community, teaches lifelong lessons like the value of teamwork and self-discipline and facilitates the physical and emotional development of those who participate. So, if the games go away

because there aren’t enough men and women to officiate them, the loss will be infinitely greater than just an "L" on the scoreboard. It will be putting a dent in your community’s future. If you would like to be a part of the solution to the shortage of high school officials, you can sign up to become a licensed official at HighSchoolOfficials.com. Otherwise, adult role models at high school athletic events here in Ohio are always welcome. Karissa Niehoff is executive director of the National Federation of State High School Associations. Jerry Snodgrass is executive director of the Ohio High School Athletic Association.

Sandra Guile Guest Columnist Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK

Employers should be aware of W-2 scam, protect info Small businesses are encouraged to be on guard against a growing wave of identity theft and W-2 scams. Regardless of the size of the company, the sensitive tax data about their employees is highly valued information and sought after by identity thieves. In fact, this scheme has become one of the more dangerous phishing email scams. The emails appear to be from an executive or organization leader to a payroll or human resources employee. The email will typically start with a simple greeting and then will quickly escalate with a demand for all the organization’s forms W-2, typically in PDF or spreadsheet format. Because payroll officials believe they are corresponding with an executive, recipients may quickly respond to the email without checking the source, and it may take weeks for someone to realize a data theft has occurred. That is until an employee goes to file their taxes and learns someone else has filed on their behalf. Generally, the criminals will quickly take advantage of the theft, sometimes filing the fraudulent tax returns within a day or two. This scam is such a threat to taxpayers that a special IRS reporting process has been established. Should such a breach occur, businesses are encouraged to report the incident to their employees, to the IRS, and implement their cybersecurity plan protocol. In addition, payroll service providers may also be requested to file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center and a report with their local law enforcement agency. Employees affected by the incident are recommended to take steps to protect themselves from identity theft. The FTC’s www.identitytheft.gov provides guidance on general steps employees should take.

The pair also swam with the winning 400 Freestyle relay team. The Fosters were not the only multievent winners.

OHSAA infraction list includes some area schools Melanie Laughman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Following the Jan. 17 board meeting, the Ohio High School Athletic Association issued penalties for 27 schools recently committing infractions. The OHSAA imposed the following penalties against Greater Cincinnati schools that violated OHSAA bylaws or sports regulations: Purcell Marian High School had a student-athlete in varsity football violate Bylaw 4-4-1, Scholarship. However, the student met Exception 3 to the Bylaw (“Incomplete” restored to passing grade) but the school permitted the student to participate prior to receiving an eligibility ruling from the Executive Director’s Office. The OHSAA has restored eligibility for the student retroactively but, in accordance with Bylaw 4-1-1, Administrative Error, the school has been fined $100. Princeton High School violated Bylaw 4-9-2, Recruiting, when a boys assistant track and field coach engaged in im-

the 500 Freestyle with a time of 4:36.66 and Grady Wheeler claiming the 1,650 Free (15:19.94). The Bombers also got wins in the 50 Backstroke (Drew Morstadt, 26.14) and the 100 Fly (Jean-Pierre, Khouzam, 49.64). Other individual champions on Sunday included Lakota East freshman Adam McDonald in the Breaststroke (29.28) and Talawanda's Samuel Hool in diving (463.35). On the girls' side of the Classic, the biggest individual day came from Marie-

permissible activity designed to influence a student to transfer to Princeton High School. In accordance with Bylaw 4-9-7 and Bylaw 11, Penalties, the Executive Director’s Office issued the following sanctions: 1) Princeton shall submit an action plan that outlines the education that will be provided to all coaches regarding Bylaw 4-9, Recruiting. 2) Princeton athletic administrator(s) shall attend the OHSAA New Administrators Seminar which is held in early August 2019. 3) Princeton is publicly reprimanded for lack of administrative responsibility in this matter. 4) Should Princeton HS decide to ultimately renew the coach for the 2019 season, Princeton is required to notify the OHSAA office of this decision and, while he is permitted to coach during the regular season, the coach be denied the opportunity to coach Princeton in the 2019 OHSAA tournament. Aiken High School had a studentathlete in freshman boys basketball violate Bylaw 4-3-1 Enrollment and Attendance, during the 2017-18 season. In ac-

cordance with Bylaw 10-2-1, Forfeitures, the school must forfeit the seven victorious contests in which the ineligible student participated. River View East and Woodward High School each had a student-athlete who was reassigned by the district as a result of a specific change of academic program and was eligible to qualify for full eligibility under Bylaw 4-7-6, Intradistrict Transfer. However, the district failed to submit the requests for eligibility to the Executive Director’s Office within the first 15 school days of the school year, as stipulated in the Bylaw. The OHSAA has restored eligibility for the students retroactively and prospectively but, in accordance with Bylaw 41-1, Administrative Error, the district has been fined $100.

Cincinnati's main blood bank has declared an emergency need for donors to give the most universally useful blood type for emergency transfusions.

Hoxworth said the blood bank has 58 percent of the inventory needed of Type O-negative to serve area hospitals. People with Type O-negative are asked to visit hoxworth.org to schedule an appointment to make a donation. Hoxworth has donation centers in Anderson Township, Blue Ash, at the University of Cincinnati in Clifton, Springdale, West Chester, Westwood, and in Fort Mitchell in Northern Kentucky.

Dance Etc. students performed in Cincinnati Ballet’s the Nutcracker Ballet students, Bailey Prewitt, Camlyn Hargrove and Maggie Keller, from Dance Etc. in Milford, danced in this year’s Cincinnati Ballet’s the Nutcracker at Music Hall. They auditioned in August and were chosen to be part of the Young Performers which included about 70 dancers ages eight to 18 from the Greater Cincinnati area. Each of them performed in eight of The Nutcracker shows in December. This wasn’t the ﬁrst time Dance Etc. students performed in The Nutcracker. Each year for the last 22 years, Dance Etc. has been represented with at least one student in the cast. Anne Kramer, Owner and Artistic Director of Dance Etc., said, “I’m very proud of my students every year who are chosen to perform in The Nutcracker. It really is an honor for them. I think their experience being on our competition teams gave these three the skills and conﬁdence for their auditions.” Bailey Prewitt, age 11, played the role of a snowball and a baby chicken alongside her dad Donald Prewitt who played “Gingerman.” Bailey is a sixth grader at Goshen Middle School and has been dancing for eight years.

Great Parks of Hamilton County and the Literacy Network of Cincinnati have entered into a partnership to install Little Free Libraries in five parks throughout Hamilton county- including FarbachWerner Nature Preserve at the Ellenwood Nature Barn, Glenwood Gardens at the Cotswold visitor Center, Miami Whitewater Forest Visitor Center, Sharon Woods at the Sharon Centre and Woodland Mound at the Seasongood Nature Center. Little Free Libraries are book exchange boxes filled with books where anyone is encouraged to take a book or leave a book. The boxes are usually mounted a few feet off the ground on a post. It is meant to encourage literacy as many low-income families have little access to books, said Literacy Network President Michele Guenther. The Little Free Libraries in the parks will be nature themed, with books about plants, animals, and the environment, said Great Parks CEO Jack Sutton. “It is a wonderful partnership where we provide the space and the Literacy Network’s volunteer curators will provide the libraries,” said Sutton. The parks are an ideal location for the project, said Literacy Network President Michele Guenther. “When we decided to grow the presence of Little Free Libraries in Greater Cincinnati, we wanted to be sure the libraries were in places that children and families would already gather,” said Guenther. “Tens of thousands of children and families visit the great parks every year, which is why they make an ideal partner for this project.” The new Little Free Libraries should all be installed in the five selected parks by now said Kimberly Whitton, PR Coordinator of Great Parks Cincinnati.
