Pandemic pushes innovation at hospitals Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Kelly Even, masked and cloaked in a gown, aims at handrails, elevator buttons and every other hightouch surface at St. Elizabeth-Edgewood Hospital several times a day with an electrostatic sprayer. The device allows electircally-charged disinfectants to wrap around and evenly coat all types of surfaces. Linda Anderson keys in a code and steps out of a room at Mercy Anderson Hospital as an ultraviolet germicidal robot kicks on, lights up and kills sneaky germs that might’ve been skipped over with other disinfecting routines. Masked employees stationed at speciﬁ ed entrances greet incoming patients and visitors and medical caregivers at area hospitals with no-touch thermometers, a series of questions and a box of masks. This is health protection, COVID-19 pandemicstyle. Across the Cincinnati region, hospitals have amped up sterilization methods with simple to complicated tools to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. “Infection prevention has always been a combination of high-tech and low-tech,” said Dr. Joshua Schaﬀ zin, director of infection control and prevention at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Which is why he does not hesitate to include the value of the 19th century soap-and-water routine to prevent germ spread nor the more recently common cloth mask use as part of the "technology" that keeps people safe from COVID-19.

UV devices prowl hospital rooms In hallways and surgical rooms, restrooms and patient rooms, visitor areas and emergency rooms, infection-prevention technology has bloomed during COVID-19. Mercy Health Foundation approved the distribution of up to $440,000 in April to purchase things that would help keep patients and caregivers safe from the novel coronavirus. That move yielded eight ultraviolet germicidal machines that use the disinfecting light to clean rooms in about ﬁ ve minutes. The staﬀ adoringly calls these robots "the germinators." "The germinator gives an extra added layer of protection. It’s picking up anything we might have missed when cleaning and sanitizing a patient room," Mercy Health-Anderson Hospital manager of environmental

services Carol Bunger explained. Other hospitals have UV-C devices in action, as well. Cincinnati Children's uses the lamp to clean patient rooms, emergency departments, urgent cares, exam rooms, operating rooms and procedure centers, offi cials there said. Even the air gets cleaned at hospitals: Negative pressure rooms on COVID-19 units within UC Health hospitals use special technology to reroute infected air through a fi lter, protecting patients and hospital staff , offi cials said. Some of the technology was already in use. That's the case for St. Elizabeth Hospitals' Xanitos vacuum cart. The multipurpose gadget cart comes with a vacuum, a 30-foot hose and a fi ltration "which will remove any particulate that is 1/100th of a human hair," said Matthew Patterson, system director of environmental services at St. Elizabeth-Edgewood. "On a daily basis, we vacuum each patient room from fl oor to ceiling," Patterson said. The carts are also equipped with an ultraviolet box that's traditionally been used to sanitize the vacuum attachments between each use.

Hospitals expand ways to preserve PPE But 2020 has added a routine: The boxes now serve as a sanitizing device for N95 masks, to extend their life, Patterson said, conserving the cherished personal protection equipment, or PPE, that is a must at hospitals. TriHealth hospitals' innovations include another way to preserve precious PPE, said Cathy French, chief information oﬃ cer. "Just before the pandemic hit, TriHealth ordered iPads, and sticks with wheels from local company, Kizan Technologies," she said. The devices were set up in patient rooms, emergency rooms, at nurses' stations and other strategic spots so that staﬀ could communicate with patients at any time without suiting up. “That helped the patient feel loved and cared for,” French said. “It helped us save on that precious PPE.” UC Health has yet another way to preserve masks: The hospital system sends its N95 masks to Battelle See INNOVATION, Page 2A

Anderson High subcontractor wants $800,000 from Forest Hills Jeanne Houck

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A subcontractor that has been trying for three years to get paid what it says it is owed on an Anderson High School construction project has asked a judge to order Forest Hills to hand over nearly $816,000 in escrowed funds. The request is part of an ongoing lawsuit the J&D Rack Co. fi led against the Forest Hills Local Schools Board of Education, the former general contractor of the project and others in 2018 for more than $2 million for its work. The Green Township company, which has a lien on the school property, said in a motion fi led in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court that it is entitled to the escrowed money now because the former general contractor has said in earlier court fi lings that Rack is owed almost $1.3 million. Parties in the case can sort out in the future whether Rack is owed more money for the site preparation work it did at Anderson High School for the renovation and additions project in 2017, Rack said. But a spokesman for Forest Hills said in an email that the school district disputes the amount of money Rack says it is owed and that other contractors and vendors involved in the project have competing claims on the escrowed money.

'We remain hopeful that we can resolve our differences' Assistant Superintendent Mike Broadwater also said Forest Hills and Rack are in settlement talks. “We remain hopeful that we can resolve our diff erences, and all parties have agreed to re-enlist the efforts of an outside mediator to assist with facilitating a resolution,” Broadwater said. Performance Construction of North Bend was fi red as general contractor of the $23 million Anderson High School project in 2017, then rehired to fi nish the work. Rack was a subcontractor of Performance. “Rack has waited three long years for payment even as the district enjoys its new facilities,” Rack said in its motion. Rack’s request is one of multiple new developments in the litigation surrounding the construction project. h Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Tom Heekin has referred a lawsuit fi led in 2019 by Per-

New Wings and Rings model opening in Miami Township Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Buff alo Wings & Rings is launching a new sports bar and restaurant model in Miami Township, featuring the chain’s fi rst-ever digital and off -premises amenities. The restaurant at 5809 Smysor Road, to be called “Wings & Rings,” will open Sept. 28 with a new layout that includes a “Beer Me” hangout area. The restaurant will have digital ordering onsite and valet services for curbside pickup, features the company believes customers will welcome be-

Memorial Institute, the nonproﬁ t applied science and technology development company in Columbus, for sterilization. The institute received FDA approval for the new sterilization process. And let's not forget about tech that's assisted in providing results of COVID-19 tests. One example: There are 12 testing machines and extraction instruments at UC Health Precision Medicine Laboratory at UC Medical Center. These allow the hospital system to provide regular and quick results for COVID-19 testing. "To date, we have processed about 75,000 specimens," spokeswoman Amanda Nageleisen said.

Internet use expands with pandemic And of course, all the hospital systems had to ﬁ gure out plans to allow as many people as possible to work from home. TriHealth, like other systems, expanded the internet bandwidth of its network. Before the novel coronavirus set in, the hospital system had about 250 people working from home at the same time, French said.The bandwidth had to be expanded and, in some cases, equipment provided, to allow for 2,000-plus to work from home – and attend important meetings.

cause of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the coming months, Buff alo Wings & Rings plans to add a digital platform allowing diners to call their server with the push of a button and to check out from their table. New wing fl avors and sandwiches also will be added to the menu. “We’re evolving with the ever-changing needs of the consumer,” Diane Matheson, vice president of marketing and branding strategy for Buff alo Wings & Rings, said in a press release. The release said the “Beer Me” hangout will feature a redesigned patio and fi re pit, a lounge and a U-shaped bar

Adding to the list of internet COVID-19 expansions, telehealth visits have exploded during the pandemic. TriHealth had a “handful” of telehealth appointments through February, French said. By the beginning of May, the hospital system had calculated more than 100,000 visits. The telehealth method is commonplace these days, and it's likely to stick after the pandemic ends. The visit-where-you-are video chats save time, money on travel, and bolster patient and family safety, Schaff zin said. He recently “visited” an Indiana boy by telehealth. "We saved them a two-hour drive,” and the risk of getting COVID-19 while traveling, he said. There's also AI (artifi cial intelligence) used almost across-the-board by medical providers so that people can communicate their symptoms to – and ask questions of – AI bots online, rather than face-to-face with a doctor or nurse practitioner, and get instructions about what to do next. That allows for those in quarantine, or anyone who's just plain busy, to have access to healthcare immediately as they protect themselves or others from COVID-19. There are other devices and methods of COVID-19 spread prevention, and there will likely to be more as the pandemic continues, hospital offi cials and environmental services workers say. “There’s nothing like an emergency to spur innovation and growth," Schaff zin said. "So we’ll see what happens.”

with televisions and foosball tables. “New self-service digital ordering points only available in the ‘Beer-Me’ area invite customers to order at their own pace, allowing for a fast-casual dining experience while watching the game or spending time with friends,” the release said. Buﬀ alo Wings & Rings is headquartered in Miami Township and has 12

Cincinnati-area restaurants. In total, it has 58 locations in the United State, including Kentucky and Indiana, and 22 locations overseas. Some existing restaurants will be renovated to include elements of the new model. Whenever a new-model restaurant opens, Matheson said, there will be an emphasis on the community it serves.

Nonpayment 'a bitter (and almost fatal) pill'

Performance. Rack said in its motion to get the money Forest Hills has in escrow that the school district and Performance Construction urged Rack and other contractors on the construction project to work virtually around the clock so that school had a chance to open on time for the 2017-2018 school year. “In what was truly an ‘all hands on deck’ moment for this proud, familyowned company, Rack expedited its work,” Rack said.

Because it was not paid in full for its work, Rack says, the company had to lay oﬀ about a third of its workforce, curtail the hours of its remaining employees and was for some time unable to pursue other opportunities. “This was a bitter (and almost fatal) pill for this ninety-year-old company,” the Rack motion stated. Broadwater said Forest Hills stands by its position that the amount Rack claims it is owed is grossly exaggerated. “Forest Hills is prepared to defend its position if a resolution cannot be reached,” Broadwater said.

HOT MILK CAKE

A ‘perfect, lighter-textured version of poundcake’ Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

I had my ﬁ rst bite of Katie Pettit’s hot milk cake when I hosted a birthday lunch for my neighbor and friend, Erin Phillips. Katie, a Loveland reader and Erin’s long time friend, oﬀ ered to bring dessert. “I know she’ll bring my favorite hot milk cake,” Erin said. And Katie did. That cake was a per-

fect, lighter-textured version of poundcake. It needed no adornment. I’m happy to ﬁ nally share her recipe, and hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Along with Katie’s, I’ve got another winner, and this one is a true poundcake recipe: Million dollar poundcake. Poundcake got its name back in the day when made with a pound of butter, a pound of sugar, and lots of eggs. Get where I’m going here? Million dollar poundcake lives up to the poundcake moniker. So now you have two superb cake recipes. Which one will you make ﬁ rst?

Katie Pettit’s hot milk cake A good keeper. Yummy alone or with a side of fruit.

Million dollar poundcake lives up to its name.

Ingredients ⁄ 2 cup butter

Million dollar poundcake

1 cup milk 2 cups all-purpose flour

This has a ﬁ ne crumb. Buttery, too. Glazed or not, your choice.

2 cups sugar

Ingredients

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 pound butter, room temperature

4 large eggs (Katie used 3 duck eggs from Erin’s flock)

3 cups sugar 11⁄ 2teaspoons each: vanilla and almond extract

Instructions

4 cups all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 300.

Add butter mixture to other ingredients and mix well.

Preheat oven to 300.

Pour into greased bundt pan and bake 1 hour. Cool and turn out onto plate that’s been dusted with coarse sugar.

Toothpick inserted deep into center should come out clean.

Instructions

Katie Pettit and her milk cake.

If you want, give it a sprinkling of confectioners’ sugar.

You’re kind of a

BIG DEAL

Prepare 10” bundt or tube pan by brushing softened butter thoroughly all over in pan. Sprinkle with flour. Shake pan to get flour into nooks and crannies, then turn upside down to shake out excess. Again, an important step so cake doesn’t stick. Bake 1 hour and 20 to 40 minutes. Mine was done in 1 hour and 25.

⁄ 4 cup milk

Place butter and milk in microwave and heat until butter melts and milk is slightly scalded. Meanwhile, mix dry ingredients, eggs and extracts and beat on low while butter melts.

On low speed, add flour alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Batter should be smooth.

6 large eggs, room temperature

1 teaspoon each: vanilla and another favorite extract or 2 teaspoons vanilla

Stir in extracts.

Beat butter on medium speed until creamy. This took about 5 minutes and is important for a good rise. It will turn real light yellow. Gradually add sugar, beating on medium until light and fluffy. This takes about 5 minutes, too. Butter mixture will turn fluffy white. Add eggs one at a time, until yolk disappears.

Cool in pan on rack about 15 minutes, then remove from pan and cool. Gilding the lily: Drizzle with glaze. (2 cups confectioners’ sugar, about 4 tablespoons water and splash of flavoring). Tip: Bring eggs to room temperature: Place unshelled eggs in warm water for a few minutes.

Third-grader Henry Herron is welcomed back to school by Pounce the Panther, the mascot of Cardinal Pacelli School. PROVIDED

A red-carpet welcome for Cardinal Pacelli students It was a school opening Cardinal Pacelli students, staﬀ and faculty will never forget. Lugging school supplies and wearing masks, students stopped to have their temperatures checked as adults welcomed them back on Aug. 18. The red-carpet welcome was especially momentous considering the school closed on March 12, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cardinal Pacelli utilized a twoday staggered start to help the children acclimate to the new safety precautions.

This year is diff erent, however, with an even greater emphasis on cleaning that surpasses the usual routine. A key tool in this eff ort is the district’s Clorox Total 360 System. New Richmond is one of but a few districts in the area to have such a machine. Purchased two years ago, this electrostatic sprayer applies Clorox sanitizers and disinfectants to all surfaces. It can cover 18,000 sq.ft per hour, so a classroom can be disinfected in less than 5 minutes. After fi ve minutes of drying time, you can reenter the treated space. The machine was initially purchased to combat fl u germs. The practice was to do enhanced cleaning if absenteeism reached 10% or higher. With COVID-19, the district is performing enhanced cleaning on a weekly basis at each building. “We’re fortunate to have this machine currently available for use,” Superintendent Tracey Miller said. “The machine is a fast and effi cient way to cover large spaces in a short period of time.” Facilities Director Luke Cox echoed Mr. Miller’s assessment. The Clorox Total 360 is easily transported, so it can be used districtwide and

even inside of school buses if needed. We will use this at all polling locations this year after they close. “We’ve applied for grant money from FEMA hoping to buy several more of the machines one for each school and transportation,” he said. “We are still waiting to hear if our request has been granted.” Sheila Vilvens, New Richmond Exempted Village School District

Donors close digital divide for Cincinnati Public Schools students The Connect Our Students program has met its goal to provide free broadband internet access through Cincinnati Bell to every Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) student for the 2020-21 school year. The volunteer-led initiative primarily is funded by Accelerate Great Schools in partnership with GE Aviation; Fifth Third Foundation; Jacob G. Schmidlapp Trusts, Fifth Third Bank, N.A., Trustee; Greater Cincinnati Foundation; and donors across the region. One out of four CPS families don’t have broadband internet access at home. This equates to roughly 3,500 families and 8,500 children for whom school became inaccessible when education shifted online last spring at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This digital divide disproportionally aff ects Black and Latinx students. CPS recently announced that the district will have distance learning for at least the fi rst fi ve weeks of the upcoming school year and that all Pre-K through 12thgrade students will have devices. Students in grades pre-K through 1 will receive an iPad. Older students will receive laptops. Every CPS family can sign up for the Connect Our Students program. More than 1,700 CPS students have been provided internet service through the program so far. “The digital divide is an especially challenging obstacle for urban school districts. We are grateful to all of the wonderful organizations and donors who have contributed to the Connect Our Students program, ensuring every child in our CPS family is able to eff ectively learn in a distance environment,” shared Laura Mitchell, superintendent of CPS. “We encourage all CPS families who don’t have internet access in their homes today, to call and sign up immediately.

If you’ve recently moved, please ensure your contact information is updated in our system by calling your school or our customer service line at 513-363-0123.” Tens of thousands of public school students in Greater Cincinnati do not have reliable computers and broadband internet connections. After a successful pilot program this summer, Connect Our Students will improve digital equity through its partnership with Cincinnati Bell, which is providing low-cost internet connectivity to students across the region (less than $17/month or $200/ year). Thanks to the generosity of the community, CPS families will get the service for free for one year, with no installation or equipment fees. After signing up, families can install the service themselves or request a technician to install it for them in a matter of days. Cincinnati Bell will not hold past balances against any family. The service includes measures to comply with the Children’s Internet Protection Act to limit access to harmful content and ensure the safety of children. To sign up, call Cincinnati Bell’s dedicated Connect Our Students line at 513-566-3895. Connect Our Students also is funded by The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr. U.S. Bank Foundation; Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center; Interact for Health; Strive Partnership; American Sound and Electronics; Diﬀ erence Maker Legacy Fund; United Way of Greater Cincinnati; Cincinnati Regional Business Committee; the Giovani Bernard Family Foundation; and Jenny and Tom Williams.

The podcasts feature Dr. Carson Felkel, director of Behavioral Health for Bon Secours Mercy Health, and Dr. Aimee Drescher, a clinical psychologist with Mercy Health. The episodes focus on normalizing anxiety, working with children, CDC guideline reminders, tips on talking with children and when to contact a professional. “This year has been brought challenges unlike any we have ever experienced into our homes and schools. We want to make sure our communities know that they are not alone and that Mercy Health is here to help,” Dr. Felkel said. “Our mission is to care for the whole person – mind, body, and spirit – and through conversation and guidance, we hope to ease our communities back into school.” Mercy Health is making the podcasts available to area school districts for distribution and also posting them on the Mercy Health blog at blog.mercy.com/ for use by all. The ﬁ rst video is available at blog.mercy.com/coronavirus-covid-19-school-stressvideo/. It covers stress and normalizing anxiety during this back-toschool season and also provides tips on how to implement self-care into your routine and diﬀ erent ways to help your family cope during this time.

SPORTS Ohio high school volleyball preview Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

With the start of the high school volleyball season underway, here are the top teams and storylines to watch for this season in Greater Cincinnati.

Girls Greater Catholic League All eyes will (rightfully) be on the Girls Greater Catholic League, which is considered to be one of, if not the toughest, conference in Ohio. You can usually pencil in one of these fi ve squads for a regional championship and trip to the state Final Four at Wright State. Last year, Mount Notre Dame went 25-3, defeating conference foes Mercy McAuley and Ursuline in the regional tournament. The Cougars lost in the state semifi nal, but return standout outside hitter Carly Hendrickson, who led the GGCL in kills last season and was a fi rst-team All-Ohio selection. Fellow AllOhio pick Megan Wielonski is returning, too, after leading the GGCL in assists. Ursuline, which won a state title in 2018, is happy to welcome back Hailey Green, who led the GGCL in kill percentage (.540) and kill effi ciency (.441) last season and was fourth in total kills (293). St. Ursula, which also won 20 games last season, has Emma Grome returning. She was a second-team All-Ohio selection last year. Seton and Mercy McAuley will each try to improve on 1-7 records against the GGCL last season. Julia Marr is Seton's top returner after registering the second-most kills in the GGCL in 2019. Ohio University commit Caroline Clippard is back for Mercy McAuley after helping her club capture a district title.

Greater Catholic League Coed You have the big three teams in the GCL Coed in Fenwick, Roger Bacon and Badin. That trio combined for a 68-13 record while the other ﬁ ve went 36-83. Fenwick is the area's only defending state champion after winning a Division II crown in 2019. The Falcons lost plenty to graduation but will return junior Kate Hafer, who had 153 kills last season. Roger Bacon has gone 49-5 over the last two seasons, but four of those defeats were at the hands of Fenwick, including back-toback regional championships. Can the Spartans get over the hump? They will return honorable mention All-Ohio selection Cammy Niesen and senior Grace Wilking. Badin, 17-8 last season, returns Sarah Newberry, who had nearly 200 kills as a freshman in 2019. Senior Emma Trusock also returns for the Rams. McNicholas thrived in the GCL co-ed's central division from 2013-18. The Rockets will try to rebound from last season's 11-13 campaign.

Paige Fisher (15) delivers a spike for a Williamsburg kill, Oct. 5, 2017. GEOFF BLANKENSHIP/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Greater Miami Conference Mason enters the 2020 season on a 46-game winning streak against GMC opponents dating back to Sept. 15, 2015. The Comets have won four consecutive conference crowns, but have seen their season end at the hands of a GGCL program six years in a row. Mason has another talented cast coming back, including seniors Marilyn Popplewell and Chloe Pearce and juniors Kalli Wall and Brooklyn Darby. Lakota East has been conference runner-up back-

to-back years, winning every GMC contest sans Mason. The Thunderhawks lose kills leader Sarah Norcom and libero Caroline Garda, but will return solid outside hitter Emily Mason and last season's GMC block leader Nina Blount. Oak Hills and Lakota West each ﬁ nished below .500 last season but went 6-3 in GMC play. Fairﬁ eld went 12-12 and will return outside hitter Emma Miller. See VOLLEYBALL, Page 2B

Who are top Ohio boys high school soccer teams? Alex Harrison and Charlie Goldsmith Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

High school boys soccer kicking oﬀ will give way to some conference battles that are sure to go down to the wire. Here's a conference-by-conference breakdown as The Enquirer continues its preseason preview for fall sports.

Cincinnati Hills League It could be easy to discount Wyoming for losing some top-level seniors from last season’s 19-1-1 team that fell in a shootout in the regional ﬁ nal, but replacing that talent hasn’t been much of an issue for the three-time defending Cincinnati Hills League champs. In fact, the entire league is looking at some serious turnover. Of the 16 ﬁ rst-team All-CHL selections, just two, Luke Brothers and Kyle Croll of Mariemont, return this year. Mariemont found itself in third place in the league last year behind Wyoming and Indian Hill after a 1-0 loss to the champs and a 1-1 draw with runner-up Indian Hill. That tie with Mariemont kept Indian Hill one game away from matching Wyoming at the top of the standings. There is no clear-cut favorite from the group, but Mariemont’s returning stars and Wyoming’s consistent program leave it as the top two choices for 2020.

Southwest Ohio Conference Ross and Little Miami battled to a ﬁ rst-place tie in the Southwest Ohio Conference in 2019, both going 101-1 in-conference. Little Miami’s departure for the ECC will mean no rematch but should give Ross a clear road to a solo conference championship. The Rams graduated goalkeeper LJ Neumaier, who was responsible for 11 shutouts, but retain two of the SWOC's top ﬁ ve points leaders last season, including sophomore Sully Spencer who had 15 goals and 11 assists.

Miami Valley Conference The Miami Valley Conference split into two divisions in 2019. The three-team Gray Division was easily won by Cincinnati Christian, who was 4-0 in-confer-

ence and 11-2-2 overall. Following Cincinnati Christian was Clark Montessori, who was 2-2 and 3-9 overall, then Norwood who was 0-4 in-conference and 0-14-1. The bigger question of 2020 will be which team takes home the Scarlet division crown. In a closer three-way race, Seven Hills and Summit Country Day tied for the top while Cincinnati Country Day was just oﬀ in third place. Summit Country Day has been a champion or cochampion in the conference seven times since 2011, but Seven Hills has split two in a row. All three schools return goalies, but Seven Hills has William Hawgood, who is the highest-returning point scorer in the league. A few more returners behind Hawgood could give Seven Hills an edge in 2020, but the Scarlet division is another division up for grabs.

Greater Catholic League South Archbishop Moeller High School won the GCLSouth last season and advanced to the regional ﬁ nals,

but the Crusaders lost as much talent as any team in Cincinnati. Moeller graduated 15 seniors and rising star Kade Tepe, who is one of the top players in Ohio and left the team to play in FC Cincinnati’s developmental academy. Despite having seven sophomores projected to play major roles this season, head coach Mike Welker said he hopes to see Moeller compete for another GCLSouth championship this year. This season, Moeller will have a much more diffi cult path to the conference championship this year. “St. Xavier is probably the best team I’ve ever seen on paper heading into this season,” Welker said. The Bombers fell in the regional semifi nals in 2019 and also lost both games to Moeller. But after returning their entire starting midfi eld and forward groups, St. Xavier head coach Brian Schaeper said his players have to do a better job sticking together when they face adversity.

Eastern Cincinnati Conference

Greater Catholic League Coed

The story? Six teams went over .500 last season in the ECC. Loveland has won the conference three straight seasons. The Tigers lost two-sport star Jillian Hayes but will return senior Diana Clark and Audrey Planner. Turpin has been consistent with six consecutive winning seasons. The Spartans welcome back ﬁ rst-team alldistrict selection Julie Wittekind, who was top-10 in the ECC in kills (217) and digs (284) and was fourth in aces with 54 in last season. Jules Fink, a Utah Valley commit who was third-team All-Ohio last season, is the reigning conference player of the year and is looking to lead Kings toward the top of the standings after ﬁ nishing 6th in 2019.

Carroll High School and Alter High School have historically been the strongest teams in the GCL Coed. Last season, they shared the conference championship and ﬁ nished with 5-0-1 records in conference play. Led by junior Conner Osterholt, the reigning conference player of the year, Carroll returns four all-league players from last season. Alter tied Carroll last season when they played and also has two ﬁ rst-team all-conference players returning, Will Schwieterman and Jacob Haines. “Carroll is just a machine, and they just reload and never have a bad year,” Badin head coach Eric Hickey said. “Alter is pretty much the same way.”

Miami Valley Conference The duo of Katelyn Grimes and Rylie Wichmann helped lead CHCA to its fi rst-ever regional championship last season. Both return this year, hoping to get the Eagles to a state fi nal. Grimes was the Division III, District 16 player of the year and Wichmann was fi rst-team all-district. Seven Hills and Summit will look to threaten CHCA in the MVC scarlet. In the gray division, Cincinnati Christian went undefeated in divisional play last season. The Cougars will look to hold off St. Bernard and Clark Montessori again.

Cincinnati Hills League Wyoming enters the 2020 season with an absurd 143-game winning streak (three in postseason) against CHL opponents that dates back to 2009. Wyoming is coming oﬀ a district title and returns sophomore Allie Cordes, who was fourth in the CHL in kills last season. Indian Hill has won 18-plus games in each of the last three seasons and reached the district championship game in 2019. Kyla Hackman is a key returner for Reading, which went 17-7 last year.

Southern Buckeye Athletic and Academic Conference

Turpin player Julie Wittekind (3) serves during the Spartans volleyball game against Loveland, Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2019. TONY TRIBBLE FOR THE ENQUIRER

Williamsburg was the only SBAAC program last season to advance past the fi rst two rounds of the playoff s, falling in the district fi nal to Versailles. The Wildcats have won 63 straight against SBAAC foes, dating back to the 2014 season. Williamsburg returns senior Paige Fisher and Clermont Northeastern, runner-up in the SBAAC National fi ve straight years, returns top off ensive threat Lexi Eyre. In the SBAAC American, Western Brown is looking for backto-back division titles behind junior Olivia Young, the conference kills leader from last season.

Southwest Ohio Conference Little Miami was consistently one of the top teams in the SWOC, including an outright title last season, but is now in the ECC. That could open the door for Harrison, which has gone 52-20 over the last three seasons combined (29-7 in SWOC play), including a share of the SWOC title in 2018. Senior outside hitter Lucy Banks will be key for the Wildcats this season. Edgewood went 18-6 last season and returns senior outside hitter Callie Hunt.

Greater Miami Conference Mason went 9-0 in conference play last season and has a shot to repeat in 2020. The Comets are tough to beat because they have fundamentally sound players at every position. But Sycamore hopes it can build oﬀ a surprising 2019 season. The Aviators graduated 15 seniors before the season started and were projected to ﬁ nish last. Instead, they

went 7-1-1 in conference play. Lakota East and Lakota West are also threats at the top of the standings. Lakota East advanced to the regional ﬁ nals last season.

Eastern Cincinnati Conference Loveland High School has developed a reputation as a team with a quick style of play and a possessionoriented oﬀ ense. That approach led the Tigers to an undefeated conference record last season. It helps that Loveland has Helge Harris, a four-year starter at outside midﬁ eld. Harris was a second-team all-conference player last season. Milford and Walnut Hills will be some of the toughest competition for Loveland this season. Milford made a deep tournament run last season and has an attack that is as talented as any team in the league.

Southern Buckeye Athletic and Academic Conference Bethel Tate was the team to beat in the SBAAC in 2019 and went undefeated in conference play. Clinton Massie won the conference’s American division last season and went 7-2-1 in league play. Clinton Massie had four juniors get ﬁ rst-team all-conference recognition in 2019 and should be a contender again in 2020.

Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference Hughes is back hoping to defend its CMAC Red division title. The Big Red went 13-2 overall and 9-1 in conference play and welcomes back player of the year Kayla Williams. Gamble Montessori ran the table in the CMAC Blue a season ago, going 9-5 overall and 6-0 in conference action. Aiken's Mercedes Bowman led the CMAC in kills last season and is hoping to lead the Falcons up the standings.

Local greenhouses are preparing for fall Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist

Howdy folks, I am getting stronger each day. It is very slow due to my age but with the Lord’s help and the therapist that comes to help me a couple times a week from the Senior Services, I will get better. There is a person that comes to help me take a shower a couple times a week as well. Folks are so good to me on the scooter. If I cross the street, they will stop and motion me across. I have always tried to do this. I am writing part of this article on Saturday morning waiting on the people to bring my lunch from the Living the Word Church. They bring me a meal each Saturday. I sure appreciate it. They do a super job of serving the meal to a bunch of people. On Friday evening the Lytle’s, Bob and Gladys and their daughter Bonnie, came over and brought my supper. Of course, they ate with me. They are sure great folks. Gladys had a birthday a couple weeks ago and all their family was there. That was great!

As I write this, I just got back from a ride on the north end of Bethel over several streets and back to my apartment. Folks are sure taking good care of their homes with ﬂ owers growing on the porch rail, grass mowed and the dogs barking at me as I go by. Folks driving sure take their time when they see me on the scooter. I was driving on our street and the fellow that sells produce on Wichard’s lot had folks lined up. I saw eight in the line. I talked to Bill Sweeney and he had a lot of folks at his produce stand by his house. The tomatoes and corn seem to be the hottest items at this time since this is canning season. This Sunday morning I was served a breakfast of biscuits and gravy by my friend Bill Sweeney. It was sure good. He had got enough for two meals and after he left me he was going to pick some corn to take care of some customers. The harvest of garden items is good and seems to be plentiful. Folks are canning lots of corn, tomatoes and other garden items so they can eat good this winter. This is important. Talked to Sherry’s Lake and she said a family came into ﬁ sh. There was a dad, mom and an eight-year-old girl. Mom bought the girl a ticket. She said the girl won’t catch anything. Well folks, the darling caught a

25 pound blue catfi sh. Of course, she was so excited and she beat mom and dad. Sherry took a picture of the girl with the big fi sh. The fi shing is good. Talked to Cedar Lake and fi shing at their lake is very good. They have had a 45 pound shovel head catfi sh and a 40 pound blue cat fi sh caught. Called Jarman’s Greenhouse over by Felicity and they will have plants for fall. They do a good job with their greenhouse. Talked to Grants Farm and Greenhouse and Danny said they are getting ready for fall. They have 1,200 mums and they are starting to bloom. He said they probably need to buy more. He picked the fi rst pumpkins and Indian corn. It doesn’t seem like it should be close to fall. The time has really gone fast. The Grants are still picking corn and tomatoes along with other garden items. They will have a good selection of Indian corn. I went to church with Deb this morning at the DriveIn. There was a good bunch of cars there and the sermon was very good. Start your week by praying and praising the good Lord. God bless all... More later...

90 years of Dahlias in Cincinnati What do the Cincinnati Art Museum, East Gate Mall, Westwood Town Hall, Schmiesing Beer Hall and Fleischmann Garden Shelter House all have in common? Each has hosted a dahlia exhibition, and this year the Krohn Conservatory will join the list when the Greater Cincinnati Dahlia Association hosts the 90th Annual Dahlia Exhibition Sept. 12 and 13.

Kate Albert’s booth at the The Pottery Affaire. The event is being held at 119 Harrison Avenue in Loveland on Saturday, Sept. 12 from 11 am.. till 4 p.m. More information can be found by calling WSCW studio at (513) 683-2529 or at www.whistlestopclayworks.com. PROVIDED

Dahlias are grown for three reasons: landscape and garden use, the cut-fl ower industry, and fl ower show competitions. This exhibition will highlight the many forms, sizes, and colors available to grow. With blooms up to ten inches wide; colors in every shade and tint of white, yellow, orange, red and purple; and forms as diverse as ball shapes to waterlilies to cactus shapes, there is a variety for everyone. Come see them up close and personal. The exhibit is free with admission to the Krohn Conservatory. Although native to Mexico, years of hybridizing dahlias have created thousands of varieties with hundreds available in the commercial market. The variety name often refl ects what the bloom looks like such as Flamethrower, Café au Lait, Golden Harvest or Arabian Night. Their names also could refl ect the era they were brought to market. Taylor Swift, General Eisenhower and John Glenn dahlias fi t this category.

Another common nomenclature is to incorporate the hybridizer into the name. Robann Royal and Ova Jo trace their roots directly to members of the Greater Cincinnati Dahlia Association. The American Dahlia Society was founded in 1915, and the Greater Cincinnati Dahlia Association is one of 70 local societies in the US and Canada within the national society. A non-profi t organization, our purpose is to promote interest, education and cultivation of dahlias. Our showcase event of the year is the annual dahlia show, and 2020 will be the 90th anniversary of dahlia exhibitions in Cincinnati. Members meet monthly to learn fundamentals and exchange seasonal growing tips. In addition to the annual exhibition, our organization sponsors fl oral design classes, fl ower-farm fi eld trips, and hands-on tuber dividing workshops. More information and memberships can be found at www.cincydahlias.org or by emailing cincydahlias@gmail.com. Follow along on Facebook: Cincinnati Dahlia Association and Instagram @cincydahlias.

Your kids play video games all day and don’t wanna stop? What do you do? David Lyman Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

You may think you’ve heard this story before. And you probably have read some variation of it. But in the age of pandemic, the relationship between children and their video games has undergone a sea change. Let’s begin with an all-too-familiar scenario. You give your kid an hour of computer time. But when the time is up, they beg for a few more minutes. Just 5 minutes. Maybe 10. But soon, 15 minutes have passed and there’s no sign that they’re about to stop. Frustrations grow and, before you know it, what seemed like a simple deadline has grown into a full-fl edged generational battle. Worst of all, the resentment often lingers. Depending on the child, that simple disagreement may manifest itself in rudeness, aggressiveness or even downright hostility. “It feels like you’re dealing with an addiction” said Dr. Robin Arthur, a clinical psychologist who is a consultant to the Children’s Home of Cincinnati and CEO of Transform Consulting. “And in a sense, you are. Social media and video games stimulate the same part of the brain that addiction does. Imagine when you take away a drug from an addict or a beer from an alcoholic. It’s the same thing when you try to separate children from their online entertainment.” “These aren’t like the games I played when I was a kid,” said Natalie Hastings, a mother of two living in Anderson Township. “I played nerdy things like ‘Jeopardy’ for Nintendo. But the games are very diff erent today. My boys get much more invested on an emotional level in everything they play.” This year, the problem has exploded. As so many pandemic-related restrictions cut us off from the world around us, young people’s opportunities for “real” play all but disappeared. What was left? Home computers and mobile phones that off ered safe contact with the outside world and access to a kaleidoscope of video games, fast-moving videos and all manner of entertainment. So when Hastings tells her boys that it’s time to stop playing, it’s not just a matter of them walking away from some light entertainment. “For one thing, many of these games don’t have a simple beginning and end,” said Hastings. “They go on and on forever. So there is no clean place to stop a game. The other thing is that, because they are playing online with teams of their friends, they panic when I tell them to stop. Because when they ditch

the game, they’re abandoning their friends. They’re betraying them. That’s nothing like ‘Jeopardy.’ ” Consider this. According to Microsoft, its “Minecraft” video game saw a 25% increase in new players in April – the month after schools closed – along with a 40% leap in multiplayer sessions. And that’s for a game that was already played by more than 125 million people every month. That’s just one game. Add other topsellers like “Grand Theft Auto,” “Fortnite” and “Apex” and you have a staggering amount of time committed to screens. (That doesn’t even include mobile juggernauts like “Candy Crush” and “Roblox.”) “Children from 8 to 12 years old use just under fi ve hours of screen time per day,” said Arthur. “For teenagers, that number goes up to seven hours a day. And that’s not including school and homework.” With millions of kids beginning their academic years in online-only environments, that is likely to add another three to fi ve hours a day sitting in front of a screen. “Parents are going to have to get creative to deal with this,” said clinical psychologist Dr. Shantel Thomas, CEO of A Sound Mind Counseling Service. “Usually, I would say involvement in organized sports is a good alternative. But for many younger children, that isn’t an alternative this year.” For some children – especially younger ones – traditional tactics like setting specifi c time limits for online activity may be enough. “But then you have to be strong enough to enforce those limits,” said Thomas. “And that’s where you get pushback.”

Some parents rely on software that shuts off online access for specifi c devices in the home. That way, parents can continue to use their own phones while their children fi nd they can no longer get online. “But the key is not to spend all your time fi ghting the games themselves,” said Thomas. “You will never win that battle. The important thing is to help your children learn how to manage their own emotions and to speak properly about how they are feeling.” When her children were younger, Thomas turned to mobile phone apps like “Mood Tracker” and “Calm.” Today, there are hundreds of similar apps out there. “That helped them develop the tools they needed to manage their emotions when they did get offl ine,” said Thomas. The pandemic has made all this much more diffi cult for children. Remember, this is uncharted territory. And it’s not like we, as parents, can provide a step-by-step plan on how to navigate it. We don’t have any idea how all this will play out, either.

“You have to realize that our children were abruptly taken away from all of their friends,” said Dr. Robin Smith, a Philadelphia-based psychologist popularly known as the Therapist-in-Residence on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” (Smith calls herself a "trauma surgeon for the heart and soul.”) “Even summer vacations can be traumatic for children. I remember being heartbroken as I said goodbye to my friends at the end of second grade.” Summers without the usual network of friends can seem endless to a child. With this pandemic-induced “vacation,” parents haven’t been able to oﬀ er any guidance on when it will end. Or how. “The sense of loss and separation can be enormous,” said Smith, who says she has seen an increase in loneliness, depression, anxiety and eating disorders since schools went on hiatus in March. “What seemed like an elongated snow day has now stretched on for three, four, ﬁ ve months. We can’t even tell them when the nightmare is going to end.” “First, you have to accept that technology is not going away,” said Dr. Arthur. “So we have to model healthy technology behaviors for our children to see. If they see us doing it all the time, why would it not be OK for them to do it?” That’s a tough one for parents. That means putting away the cell phones at dinner. Not scrolling through Instagram when you’re in bed. And making times that are 100% technology-free. “It’s about creating a balance,” said Arthur, invoking a very old-fashioned concept into an age that seems obsessed with living at the extremes. “There are some very positive reasons for technology to exist. But the technology exists to serve us, not the other way around. “Yes, it’s more extreme right now. But I don’t think this is the ‘new normal’ that you keep hearing people talk about. I call this the ‘interim normal.’ We need to think forward and be ready to help children re-socialize when the opportunity is there. We owe that to them.”
