Some residents of Columbus Avenue in Hyde Park say patrons of bars such as R.P. McMurphy's Irish Pub right over the border in Oakley have been problematic in the past.

Hyde Park residents fear trouble with bars Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Some Hyde Park residents fear the pending sale of property along a proposed section of the Wasson Way bike trailmeans they soon could be dealing with unruly bar patrons again. Residents of Columbus Avenue and nearby streets raised $5,200in 2005 to install a fence at the north end of Columbus to stop customers of bars on nearby Wasson Road right over the border in Oakley from using their streets for parking. Columbus Avenue runs perpendicular to Wasson Road but stops short of reaching it. The fence prevents foot traffi c between Wasson Road and Columbus Avenue, which also are divided by two vacant lots off Columbus that until recently were wooded. Now, a real estate agent says he has a buyer for the lots, which have been cleared, to the dismay of some neighbors. Ben McNab of Cushman & Wakefi eld said he expects to close in mid-April on the sale and that Columbus Avenue will be extended about 15 feet to accommodate a new home on each side. The fence will come down. But McNab said the extension of Columbus Avenue will not reach Wasson Road and that the new houses and the Wasson Way trail to be built between the houses and Wasson Road should adequately protect homes on Columbus, where orange signs protesting the development dot nearly every yard. Homes at intersecting Portsmouth Avenue also are displaying the signs

ing trail – during the third phase of its construction, funds have yet to be found to design and build it. The second phase of the Wasson Way trail, from Tamarack Avenue in Hyde Park to Montgomery Road in Norwood, could be built by year’s end. When Wasson Way is completed, it is to stretch 7.6 miles from Avondale to Newtown, where it would connect to the Little Miami Scenic Trail. “The homes that are going to be built (on Columbus Avenue) are in excess of $600,000, and there’s just no way in my mind they would not have a fenced yard – especially with a walking trail next door,” McNab said. Columbus Avenue residents say that wouldn’t stop bar patrons from parking on Columbus and streets around it, then walking down Columbus Avenue and across the Wasson Way trail to Wasson Road.

Smiling despite incredible odds

Resident Wallace Power said he and his neighbors don’t want things to return to the way they were beginning in the late 1990s, when customers of a bar on Wasson Road were “oﬀ the hook.” “We had blocked driveways. We had urination. We had trash,” Power said.“We were their parking lot.” Power said he and other neighbors unsuccessfully tried to solve the problem at city hall and before the state Division of Liquor Control. Finally, he seized on the idea of the fence.

He has survived longer than Lou Gehrig (who died just short of two years after his famous speech at Yankee Stadium). Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is debilitating with life expectancy around two to ﬁ ve years after diagnosis. Around 10% make it 10 years. A drug on the market, Rilutek, only extends one’s time two to three months. Every moment Graham Harden sees a Carolina blue sky or any sky at all is precious to the former Tarheel who starred for four years in lacrosse in Chapel Hill, leading them to a perfect 16-0 season and national title in 1991. He was a high school All-American in Connecticut, a college AllAmerican at North Carolina and coached high schools in Connecticut and Georgia to state lacrosse titles. He’s been at Mariemont since 2006 when his family moved to the area and has assisted the Warriors in their state championship runs of 2013, 2014 and 2017 (ﬁ rst OHSSA-recognized championship) with head coach Steve Peterson. “Graham is an inspiration to all of us,” Peterson said. “He’s a great coach still. He still has all of his mind and he gets around pretty good on that scooter. He’s a lot of fun. We’re glad to have him. The boys love him, we all love him

MARIEMONT - In the face of life’s cruelest moments, Graham Harden II still smiles. Some 31 months after being diagnosed with ALS (commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease) Harden is still present at Mariemont High School lacrosse games where he assists both the boys and girls programs. “Why not?” Harden said when asked about his comforting smile. “It’s fun to be out here with the kids.” Just two years ago, he was able to walk without assistance, looking healthier than many in attendance. From there, he begrudgingly began using a cane. Last year, he grew a beard and began sporting a walking stick, seemingly Mariemont’s version of Moses leading the Warriors by grace and example. He misses the stick and has trimmed the beard, but now utilizes a motorized scooter. ALS has caused him to lose 50 pounds, but not his sense of humor. He wishes it were faster, joking that area referees are happy now that he can’t walk onto the ﬁ eld to question their calls, though he has been tempted to shift into drive.

Seven Hills wins grant for world-issues classes Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Seven Hills School has received a $250,000 matching grant to develop civic-engagement seminars designed to immerse students in the study of some of the world’s most challenging issues. The Edward E. Ford Foundation of Brooklyn, New York, awarded an educational leadership grant to Seven Hills based on a high-school curriculum model put together by the school’s administrators and faculty to teach students about war, poverty, trade, migration, resource scarcity, climate change, disease and sustainability. Seven Hills, a private, coed school, off ers prekindergarten through 12th grade education at its Hillsdale Campus at 5400 Red Bank Road in Madisonville. The Edward E. Ford Foundation’s Garten educational leadership grant is designed to support innovative educational initiatives that can be copied by other private schools. “We believe this new signature program will have a powerful impact, not only on our own students, but on students around the country,” Head of School Chris Garten said. “The ultimate goal of the program is to equip students with the tools to think globally and act locally, and to fi nd ways to become more actively engaged in innovative problem-solving, including the valuable work being done by many of Cincinnati cultural and social service institutions.” Seven Hills administrators Matt Bolton, Nick Francis and Susan Marrs worked with high school teachers Ann Griep, Marielle Newton, Marc Raia, Kylie Utah, Brian Wabler and Anna Works-McKinney on the curriculum model. The seminars will explore complex social issues from a local, national, and global perspective. They will be team taught by Seven Hills high school teachers, university professors and local civic leaders. Seven Hills operates another prekindergarten through fi fth-grade division in East Walnut Hills.

and we’re glad to have him here.” Since 2014, Harden has also helped the Lady Warriors and was on the ﬁ eld at Ohio Wesleyan last June when Mariemont won the OHSAA Division II title with coach Kevin Ferry. He politely shifted attention to the championship players afterward but was thrilled to be doused with ice water in the celebration. “It was fun,” Harden recalled. “If you can’t enjoy a championship, something’s wrong.”

ALS brings many adjustments As he’s mentioned in his blog on the website designed to educate and inform others, www.gforcegameon.org, each season presents a new challenge. Communicating is a combination of what you say, how you say it, and what you do with your body. ALS tests all of these components. My voice is very muddled. Those of you who know me well know I have opinions and like to talk. I can no longer demonstrate drills, even wrecked driving my little scooter over the track getting to the ﬁ eld.That was kind of funny. (I am in the process of getting a powered wheelchair and a voice assistive device.) How do I coach eﬀ ectively

instead of becoming just a distraction on the sidelines? I am nervous, yet excited as I take on this challenge. Wish the kids and me luck…mainly the kids as this is about them. Admittedly, Harden’s approach to coaching has had to change but he still commands tremendous attention and respect. To connect he may ride up near a player and playfully tug on his uniform shirt. “I interact diff erently,” Harden said. “It’s a lot more body language versus me speaking. They know when I’m happy and they know when I’m upset.” Muffl ed some in voice, Harden can engage with his eyes or pierce with his stare. He’s visited Washington, D.C., to make politicians aware of funding and research issues with ALS, a disease that doesn’t get the attention of more common affl ictions like cancer or heart disease.

“The numbers aren’t there compared to cancer and some other diseases,” Harden said. “But, we’re making progress which is good.”

Harden’s determination well-documented Greg Wichard of Visual Productions made a documentary of Harden’s story that was publicly shown in Mount Adams last December. Harden is pleased with how it turned out, knowing that is something that can last forever. He is constantly amazed by the support he’s received. “The Mariemont community and lacrosse community has been awesome,” Harden said. “Knowing you have people behind you is one of the most important things for people dealing with a disease. It’s been heart-warming and humbling.” For more on Harden’s

This New Bladder Control Pill May Replace Adult Diapers

Continued from Page 1A

It worked. He and other Columbus Avenue area residents got nervous when for sale signs went up about two years ago on the vacant lots at the end of the street, Power said. The Hyde Park Neighborhood Council asked the city of Cincinnati in May 2017 to buy the lots in order to maintain the fence, or, if the property was sold and Columbus Avenue to be extended, to work with the developer put a fence at the new end of Columbus. The city did not buy the property.

Clinical studies show new pill may be effective enough to replace adult diapers for bladder control; initial users show dramatic reduction in trips to the bathroom, embarrassing leaking, and nighttime urgency. Robert Ward, Associated Health Press

Residents of Columbus Avenue and surrounding streets in Hyde Park put up a fence in 2005 to stop pedestrian traffic between their streets and bars on Wasson Road just over the border in Oakley.

AHP− Adult diaper sales are expected to plummet as results from a clinical trial on a new, patented bladder control pill have finally been released. Sold under the brand name UriVarx™, the new pill contains key ingredients that keeps the bladder from releasing voluntarily, which reduces accidents and frequent bathroom trips. Perhaps more impressive, it also targets the tiny muscles around the bladder, which helps the bladder to create a tighter seal. This would explain why the average UriVarx™ user in clinical trials experiences a 66% reduction in urinary incontinence symptoms, such as day and night leaking and sudden urges to urinate.

NEW DISCOVERY IN BLADDER CONTROL

A Nerf football delayed but didn’t stop man’s quest to climb Mount Everest Sheila Vilvens

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Nerf football injury may have delayed a Loveland adventurer in his fi rst quest to climb Mount Everest, but it didn’t stop him. Matt Brennan recently began his second attempt at summiting the deadly mountain. As of April 7 he was in Lobuche, Nepal, the last stop on his journey to base camp. It was prior to this point last year when he injured his leg and groin in a game of Nerf football with Sherpas. After pushing on for several days, the injury caused Brennan to abandon his attempt. Not this time. In an April 7 Facebook post, he said he’s staying healthy. “Your body cannot recover from illness at 17,500 feet so I am being super careful on the trek,” he said in his post. “We arrive in base camp tomorrow and I’m looking forward to moving into my tent – my home for the next 7 weeks. All good here in the Khumbu valley and the majestic peaks of the Himalaya. #unfi nishedbusiness.” Brennan fi rst attempted Everest in April 2018. For his second attempt, he said he’s more fi t and better prepared. “Having been there last year, I’m way ahead of any new climber,” Brennan told

The Enquirer before the climb. “So, I know what to expect. I think I have a huge mental advantage.” Thanks to a new training program, he said he’s leaner and stronger this time around. Brennan also expressed gratitude for the opportunity to return to Mount Everest thanks to his sponsor, Horter Investment Management of Symmes Township. Horter sponsored the ﬁ rst trip as well. Owner Drew Horter and Brennan are friends. “Matt’s such a focused individual and wants to

attain the seven summits of the seven continents,” Horter said. “I’m glad to help him do this.” Brennan is well on his way to conquering all seven summits of the world. So far he’s summited: Mount Vinson in Antarctica, Aconcagua in South America, Denali in North America, Mount Elbrus in Europe and Kilimanjaro in Africa. All that remains is Everest and Carstenz Pyramid in Australia. You can track Brennan’s progress on his Facebook page, Matt Brennan of Cincinnati and Mount Everest.

Until now, doctors believed it was impossible to strengthen the muscles that control the bladder. They are amazed to see that it can now be done with the non-prescription UriVarx™ pill. “As you get older, and the involuntary muscles around your bladder weaken, you lose urinary control. With your bladder wall unable to properly seal, you constantly leak and feel pressure to urinate” explains Dr. Bassam Damaj of Innovus Pharmaceuticals. “UriVarx™ targets the bladder muscles and help restores vital kidney health, reducing urgency and frequency. It also helps you “hold it” for hours so you never have to worry about embarrassing accidents ever again!”

FREEDOM FROM SUDDEN URGES AND LEAKS Since hitting the market, sales for the patented UriVarx™ pill have soared and there are some very good reasons why. To begin with, the double blind large clinical studies published in the clinicaltrials. gov have been impressive. Participants taking UriVarx™ saw a stunning reduction in urinary frequency, which resulted in fewer bathroom trips both day and night. They also experienced a dramatic decrease in incontinence episodes, such as leaking and bed wetting. The active ingredients in UriVarx™ comes from a patented formula. It is both safe and healthy. There are also no known serious side effects in its history of use. Scientists believe that the ingredients target the muscles of the bladder to grow stronger. These muscles are responsible for keeping the bladder tightly sealed. They also help the bladder to completely empty, allowing bacteria to be flushed from the urinary tract. Research has shown that as you get older, certain hormonal changes in the body cause these muscles to shrink and become lose. This is what causes the bladder to be over active and the resulting urine accidents and why UriVarx™ seems to be so effective in the published clinical trials.

NEW PILL MAY REPLACE DIAPERS FOR BLADDER CONTROL: This new patented clinically proven pill solution is now available nationwide

EXCITING RESULTS FROM URIVARX USERS Many UriVarx™ users say their bladders have never been stronger. For the first time in years, they are confident and in complete control. Adult pads and diapers are no longer a big worry. “After my third child, I couldn’t control my bladder. I was running to the bathroom all the time! And once I hit my 60s it became so unpredictable I needed to wear adult pads every day” explained Marie L. of Danbury, CT. “I was embarrassed so before going to my doctor I decided to try UriVarx and I’m so glad I did! The urgency is gone and I no longer feel like my bladder is about to explode. I can also “hold it” when I need to so I’m no longer living in constant fear of finding a bathroom.”

IMPRESSIVE CLINICAL RESULTS The exciting clinical results published on the government clinical website clinicaltrials. gov show that UriVarx™ can strengthen your bladder fast, significantly reducing the urine urgency and leaks. In a new double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, 142 men and women with bladder control issues were separated into two groups. The first group was given a placebo while the other received UriVarx™. The results were incredible. The participants who received UriVarx™ saw major improvements in leaking, pressure, and the urgency to go − all without the usual side effects seen in prescription drugs! They also reported fewer trips to the bathroom both day and night. Overall, the UriVarx™ group experienced: • 56% Reduction in Urge Incontinence • 66% Reduction in Stress Incontinence • 61% Reduction in Urgency • 33% Reduction in Frequency • 46% Reduction in Nighttime Bathroom Trips Additionally, at the end of clinical trial and after seeing the results, 84% of the participants taking UriVarx™ said it significantly improved their quality of life. “The clinical findings are incredible, but people still wonder

if it will really work” explains Dr. Bassam Damaj. “It’s normal to be skeptical, but we’ve seen thousands of UriVarx™ users get results exactly like the participants in the study. It’s an amazing product.”

HOW IT WORKS UriVarx™ is a pill that’s taken just once daily. It does not require a prescription. The active ingredients patented natural extracts.

are

Research shows that as we get older, the muscles which surround the bladder weaken. This is caused by hormonal changes in the body that causes the muscles to atrophy and weaken. When they become too small and weak, they cannot seal your bladder shut, which causes leaking, accidents, among other incontinence symptoms. It also prevents your bladder from fully emptying, which can result in persistent bacterial infections and UTIs. UriVarx’s™ active ingredient targets the muscles around the bladder, making them stronger. Supporting ingredients in UriVarx™ support kidney function and overall urinary health.

BLADDER PROBLEMS GONE With daily use, UriVarx™ can restore strong bladder control and help users overcome leakage without the negative side effects or interactions associated with drugs. Leakage sufferers can now put an end to the uncontrollable urges, the embarrassing accidents, and enjoy an entirely new level of comfort and confidence.

Matthew Warden, Loveland native and junior at The Summit Country Day School, achieved a perfect score of 36 on the ACT college entrance exam. He is the fi rst student in class of 2020 to be recognized for the feat. Of the 1.9 million students across the country who took the test, only 3,741 earned the highest possible score. That’s less than one-fi fth of one percent. “His accomplishments at The Summit stem from his ability to be both academically and athletically successful, something the school fosters very Warden well,” his father, Rob Warden, said. “We want our children to be well-rounded. His grades and ACT score coupled with his awards on the football fi eld show that this is possible.” Matthew is a recipient of the Marc Gerard Fragge ‘83 Memorial Scholarship.

How to color Easter eggs naturally Naturally-colored Easter eggs Naturally colored Easter eggs. RITA HEIKENFELD

The methods for producing dyes are pretty much the same, except for beets and turmeric. Here’s a guide: In a saucepan, place as many papery outer skins of yellow or red onions that you have. Cover with up to a couple inches of water. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook until onion skins have colored the water, about 10 minutes. Use this same method for red cabbage ( just chunk it up]. Strain. For every cup of liquid, add a teaspoon or so of clear vinegar. Put boiled eggs in. You’ll get various degrees of color depending upon how long the eggs sit in the dye. Yellow onion skins produce eggs that are amber to dark orange. Red onion skins produce eggs that are brick/brownish red.

Those of you who have read this column for a while know that coloring eggs naturally is something we’ve done for years in our family. And I’m happy to see more of you “coming into the fold,” requesting recipes for coloring eggs with natural dyes. So as promised, here again are recipes that I hope will become traditions in your family. Some dyes use ingredients you most likely already have. They don’t take long to make, so can be done the day before Easter if necessary. During Lent I save my yel-

low and red onion skins in my old hand-carved wooden salad bowls. These will be the bases for beautiful, natural colored eggs. Along with the onion skins I use red cabbage, turmeric, and beet juice. I always let the little ones help. They watch in awe as they learn their ﬁ rst lessons in food chemistry. Depending on the dye, colors range from amber to brick red to teal blue and even sun gold yellow and the palest pink. I have my parents, Mary and Charlie Nader, to thank for making us such “green advocates.” Mom colored some of our eggs with onion skins. More than just coloring, my Dad would remind us they were a way of passing down a humble history.

Clarifi cation Zip’s Chili/Main Street Cafe Although both of these Cincinnati suburban restaurants exude a “welcome to the family” atmosphere, they are separately owned. Dave Murrie is the owner of Main Street Cafe. Mike Burke is the owner of Zip’s Cafe. He purchased Zip’s from Brian Murrie more than four years ago and has been employed at Zip’s, on and off , since he was 15. As far as a defi nitive answer for the origin of the Zip’s recipe, Mike said “we aren’t sure where it actually came from.” Like all heirloom recipes, the original recipe has been tweaked through the years making it the iconic, unique recipe you enjoy today.

Beet juice turns the eggs pale pink. I just strain out the juice from canned beets and use that. Easy peasy! Red cabbage is the winner: It makes beautiful teal to dark blue eggs but these take the longest time so you may want to put them in the refrigerator until they turn the shade you like.

Turmeric colored eggs require a different method: Stir 3 tablespoons turmeric in 2 cups water in saucepan. Bring to boil. Remove, let cool but don’t strain. Add 2 teaspoons or so of clear vinegar. Place boiled eggs in dye, stirring to coat. When you remove the eggs, gently run them very quickly under running water to remove spice particles. Turmeric makes the eggs brilliant yellow.

Here are 5 ﬁ xes that could have saved Kyle Plush. Have they been done? were not relayed to police. Since then, 911 call takers have gotten additional training, with new emphasis on the importance of sharing with oﬃ cers everything that’s heard. And they’re reminded playback is available.

Sharon Coolidge and Alexander Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A year after Seven Hills student Kyle Plush died in his minivan, city and other offi cials are still working to beef up safety measures that would prevent a similar tragedy. Plush, 16, was smothered on April 10, 2018, after the seat in his Honda Odyssey minivan fl ipped over on him in the parking lot at his high school. Despite two 911 calls by Plush, rescuers never came. The closest offi cers got was when they drove within 100 feet of him and later when they parked briefl y 150 feet away before leaving the scene. Plush’s death exposed a neglected 911 center, cost-cutting measures that compromised safety, police offi cers who didn’t get out of the cruiser when they didn’t see somebody in distress. Motorists had also complained for years to federal regulators about unstable seats in Odysseys. In the past year, some concerns have been addressed, but others linger. The Enquirer set out to the answer the question: If the Plush accident happened today, would the boy survive? It’s unclear if it would end diff erently. Here’s why:

5 Things that went wrong – and what has (or has not) been done to fi x them: The Seat What happened: Kyle Plush climbed into his minivan to get an athletic bag or tennis racket after school when the car seat fl ipped over on him. What went wrong: The third-row seat in Plush’s minivan wasn’t securely latched to its base. Fixed? No. What’s happened since: Federal auto regulator, the National Highway Traffi c and Safety Administration, and Honda insist there aren’t enough past similar complaints to justify further investigation.

Police lacked basic maps

Kyle Plush. PROVIDED

Both the agency and the automaker believe Plush’s death is an isolated incident despite a memo by a local investigator who documented Plush’s seat took multiple attempts to latch. Safety advocates say the memo is evidence of a potential safety defect that could merit a recall. Federal lawmakers have urged a closer look and have hinted they might weigh in – but so far no action has been taken. There has been no formal investigation opened or any recall issued.

The fi rst 911 call What happened: Plush made his fi rst emergency call at 3:14 p.m. saying, “I’m trapped in my van outside the Seven Hills parking lot,” adding he couldn’t hear the operator. “I’m going to die here,” Kyle said. What went wrong: The operator had diffi culty hearing Plush. The teenager’s phone was in his pocket: he was pinned upside down with his hands trapped at his side. He made the call using voice command. Dispatchers listened to a playback of the call but didn’t pass along all information to police dispatched to the school. Fixed? Yes. What’s happened since: Two investigations cleared the operator of mishandling the call but determined more information, such as a more precise location and the dire nature of the call,

What happened: Police were dispatched to Seven Hills’ sprawling campus with multiple parking lots with minimal information of his exact whereabouts or how much danger he was in. They thought they were looking for a woman locked in her van. What went wrong: Besides not receiving call playback information, police cruisers didn’t have the technology to pinpoint the origin of an emergency call. Fixed? No. What’s happened since: At fi rst, city offi cials pledged to buy and install GPS technology in police cruisers that is already in city fi re vehicles. It would display a map of where the call was coming from in their cruisers. Offi cers now have access to a citycreated app that allows police to input coordinates into their car computer to generate a map, which is a two-step process. They also have the option of asking dispatchers for better directions – an option the offi cers looking for Plush did not use. City offi cials are “actively working on a more permanent and direct mapping solution,” city spokeman Casey Weldon said. City offi cials are also considering adding GPS technology to police radios, though no decisions have been made. It’s estimated to cost between $165,000 and $295,000. Offi cers are also now being asked to look at all the information in the text of the dispatch log, instead of relying solely on what the dispatcher is saying.

Police didn’t get out of the cruiser What happened: With minimal information, police searched half a dozen parking lots via patrol car. The oﬃ cers said they stayed in their car to help them cover more ground. Their cruiser never came within 50 feet of Plush’s minivan.

Police spoke with a sheriff ’s deputy directing traffi c who suggested the call could have been a prank. What went wrong: Plush was pounding inside the minivan, but he was a small kid (5-foot-2, 118 pounds) with a 90-pound weight pressed against his chest. Also, his head was pinned under the seat and his windows were tinted. Fixed? Maybe. What’s happened since: Police policy has changed and now requires that offi cers get out of their cars when responding to unknown trouble. The city is in the process of training offi cers on the policy, which was enacted Dec. 20. City offi cials declined interview requests. It’s unclear why that took eight months, since there was public criticism of the offi cers’ decision not to get out of their car.

The second 911 call What happened: A frantic Plush called 911 again at 3:35 p.m. Audibly struggling for breath, Plush told the operator, “I probably don’t have much time left, so tell my mom that I love her if I die.” What went wrong: The second operator had even more diﬃ culty hearing the call – she assumed it was a “silent call” from someone hearing-impaired and switched it over to a system designed to take such a message. The operator remained on the call, but her audio was turned down and she didn’t hear additional critical information about the vehicle, its speciﬁ c location and Plush’s dire situation. Fixed? Yes. What’s happened since: The 911 center has trained call takers on when and how to use using hearing-impaired technology. City Manager Patrick Duhaney and Emergency Communications Center Director Jayson Dunn declined interview requests, but answered questions via email. Kyle’s family has hired civil rights attorney Al Gerhardstein to represent them, suggesting a lawsuit could be forthcoming. Gerhardstein declined to comment. The family also declined interview requests.

Grandparents, grandchildren moved by trip to Israel together “You should always remember where you come from so that it gives you strength to go forward.” Jeanne Schmerler, of Symmes Township, gave her grandson, Sammy, this advice after their recent weeklong trip to Israel over winter break. She and Sammy are one of four sets (zugot or “pairs”) of grandparents and grandchildren from Cincinnati who traveled together — the culmination of an innovative yearlong program, called G2: Global Intergenerational Initiative, to strengthen Jewish identity in fun and meaningful ways among youth in Cincinnati and other cities across the world. “The trip was very moving for me. To be in Israel and share the experience with my grandson was truly incredible,” Schmerler continued. “It’s always moving to go to Israel, but even more so with family. I know it was for Sammy as well.” Fresh from Ben Gurion International Airport, the Cincinnati cohort settled into their hotel on the beaches of Netanya; then mingled with G2 groups from Miami, Florida and Greater Metro West New Jersey. As the week continued, they connected with G2 cohorts from each of their partnership cities in Israel — Yeruham, Arad, and Netanya — as they explored, person-by-person, the idea of global Jewish peoplehood. Over the course of the week, they explored Haifa and the Cave of Elijah. They learned the Ethiopian Jewish story of immigration, assimilation, and about the culture’s deep connections between generations. They took a Jeep ride

through the desert, took a cable car up Masada, and swam in the Dead Sea. They shared Shabbat dinner with Israel Defense Forces soldiers. And they explored the Old City of Jerusalem, the Western Wall, and Tel Aviv. Each destination was designed to building meaningful grandparentgrandchild relationships, cultivate shared Jewish values, inspire the next generation, and create lasting connections with Israel and Jewish peoplehood. As the number of multi-faith and multicultural families increases among American Jews, grandparents may be-

come the primary source of Jewish culture and tradition for their grandchildren. That is the reality for Barry Gibberman, of Blue Ash. “The trip was really special to me,” he said. “It was a tremendous way of introducing Judaism to my one-and-only grandson, Elliot. He’s very special to me, and this whole trip was just an amazing experience for the two of us.” For other families, the trip was a highlight in what has been a lifelong commitment to Jewish education. “Jacob learned so much,” said his grandfather, Jeﬀ Casper, of Blue Ash.

“He had been to day school, Hebrew school, Sunday school, and he fi nally got to see everything in real life that he had been learning about.” The fi rst-of-its-kind program was launched in 2018 by The Jewish Agency for Israel, in collaboration with the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati and its Partnership2Gether program. Leading up to the trip were monthly sessions during which grandparents shared their life experiences, values, and heritage with their grandchildren, all of which helped inspire the younger generation. This yearlong journey was about learning and teaching each other. The programming started with strengthening connections between the grandparent and the grandchild pair. “I liked Israel because I got to learn from my grandparents a lot and make connections with them,” Jacob Baron, of Blue Ash, said. “My favorite place was the Western Wall because I felt close to G-d.” “I got to know them a little better,” Sammy Shapiro, of Symmes Township, said. “They got to know me a little better. We got a stronger bond, and we learned more about our family history.” The four sets of grandparents/grandchildren who participated in the trip are: Tillie Berge (Montgomery) and Lorie Kleiner Eckert (Symmes Township); Jacob Baron and Jeff Casper (Blue Ash); Elliot Asquith (Symmes Township) and Barry Gibberman (Blue Ash); Sammy Shapiro and Jeanne Schmerler (Symmes Township).

Sports Moeller’s Hayes to enter 2019 NBA Draft Dave Clark and Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Jaxson Hayes declared Thursday that he’ll enter the 2019 NBA Draft and hire an agent. The former Moeller High School standout is expected by many to be a lottery pick in the draft. “Thank you to all the Longhorn fans and the people of Cincinnati who have been there cheering me on the whole way,” Hayes said, via texassports.com. The Texas Longhorns tweeted about the Big 12 Freshman of the Year’s move: “This has always been a dream of mine so I’m really excited for this chapter,” Hayes said shortly after the announcement was posted on Twitter. Hayes had a dramatic rise in the basketball world. As a 6-foot-7 junior at Moeller he came oﬀ the bench for a team

that didn’t lose until the state ﬁ nal. He averaged 1.1 points and a couple rebounds a game. By the next season, he had sprouted to 6-11 and was on everyone’s radar, including Shaka Smart’s at Texas. Hayes averaged 12.2 points and 7.1 rebounds for the Crusaders leading them to the 2018 state title. From there, Hayes announced to a packed gym at Moeller he would attend Texas. All he did in Austin was turn more heads and position himself into an NBA lottery pick. In doing so, he is Moeller High School’s ﬁ rst NBA player. “When he was being recruited, when Calipari (Kentucky) was here, he wasn’t talking about him being a one and done,” Moeller coach Carl Kremer said. “The rate of his progress has been so inSee HAYES, Page 2B

St. Xavier triathlon team evolved into national champs Adam Turer

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

St. Xavier High School’s triathlon team grew from an idea, to a vision, to a club, to a national championship in less than four years. The Bombers claimed the 2019 independent club high school national championship on April 5 in Tempe, Arizona. This was the fi rst year such a division existed, and St. Xavier can forever claim its title as the fi rst even independent high school national champions. “They started announcing teams and the next thing you know, we heard our name and it was immediate euphoria. It was pretty cool,” said Jim Murphy Jr., the program’s founder and director. Many of the top teams competing on the national stage are regional clubs, not confi ned to one high school. Even against such top-tier programs casting a far wider net, the Bombers held their own. “We also fi nished third in the country against the elite regional teams, which was shocking,” said Murphy. “They appreciate the fact that collectively as a team they were able to go up against the big boys.” Ohio is not thought of as a triathlon hotbed, but there is no better time to be a triathlete in the Midwest. This year will be the ninth in a row that USA Triathlon holds its Youth & Junior National Championships in West Chester, in August. The Ohio State age group and high school championship is in Columbus in July. The USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships will be in Cleveland for the second straight year in 2019. The passion for the sport continues to grow locally. While the Bombers are the only high school team in the area, there has been interest at St. Ursula, Sycamore, Indian Hill, and Wyoming. “We worked closely with USA Triathlon as they launched this (high school) program. We wanted to do it the right way and make a blueprint so that other schools in the GCL or in public school districts could start their own. Someone has to have that passion to get it off the ground,” Murphy said. “As we put the word out, we found parents who were

triathletes, kids who had some interest, and it really has just gone from there. “Now we’re seeing younger siblings and middle school kids who are thinking about triathlon who weren’t before. This is starting to have an impact. We’ve had several parents who knew nothing about triathlon watch their kids do it, then they go do one. It’s become a really feel-good story in that way.” The Bombers have beneﬁ ted from the coaching of Colin Riley, a professional triathlete and former amateur national champion. They also have the support of the Cincinnati Triathlon Club, run by St. Xavier alums Chris Macke and Justin Bifro. Still, it takes a special mental

toughness to compete in a grueling sport with little payoff . “This is a sport where you don’t get to play every weekend or twice a week. You’re going to practice, practice, practice, and build up to one race,” said Murphy. “They get it. They’re in it for the camaraderie of it. It’s something new. They’re loving it.” While they traveled to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, for the national championships the past two years, Murphy did not expect to pull off the trip to Tempe this season. But the team’s fi ve seniors and the team parents were committed to the experience. Nine Bombers made the trip. The national championship

was a pleasant surprise. “We had a blast,” said Murphy. “This was a really fun cherry on top.” The program had a breakthrough when the school allowed the triathletes to convert an old storage closet into a training studio. The program has expanded to allow middle school-age students to train with them, even those who may not end up attending St. Xavier. Growing a new sport at the high school ranks takes a committed eﬀ ort. “I’ll give a lot of credit to the schools themselves. They acknowledge that there are only so many spots on the basSee TRIATHLON, Page 2B

rise of Jaxson Hayes, he is not. Conﬁ dence is a great attribute to young athletes. “I felt like people never really saw me, I felt I’ve always been like this,” Hayes said. “I thought like this year I could have done this when no one expected me too.” A football receiver at Moeller High School, Hayes never lost his athleticism as his body bloomed into a desirable wingspan for the pros (7-foot-4). Shaka Smart was an early believer and Hayes feels the Longhorns coaching staﬀ did a great job developing him into a prospect. As such, Hayes left Thursday for Los Angeles where he’ll be looking for an

agent and developing a strategy to workout for several teams. Hayes suﬀ ered a knee injury during the Texas Longhorns’ Big 12 Championship quarterﬁ nal loss to Kansas and missed their run to the NIT title, which included a second-round overtime win against Xavier. He enjoyed watching the Longhorns hoist a trophy but played it safe and sat out the postseason. “Rehab and recovery has gone very well,” Hayes said of his injured left knee. “I’m not in a brace and I’m not on crutches anymore.” Hayes moved up considerably in recent updates of 2019 NBA Draft big boards assessing the top 60 players ex-

pected to be available in June. Hayes averaged 10 points and fi ve rebounds per game during the season for the Longhorns. While he’ll be happy to cross the stage and put on anyone’s hat June 20 in the NBA Draft, as a fan, Hayes likes the Cleveland Cavaliers. He’s been watching a lot more of the pros recently. “I’ve been watching a lot of the games lately,” Hayes said. “It’s to study. I knew I was going to be playing in the league soon. I’ll be happy going anywhere.” With that, Hayes had to run off to class at Texas. He hopes to end in good standing in Austin and looks to come back and fi nish his degree.

Everybody went through a learning phase.” The passion for competition and camaraderie is what has fueled the TriBombers. The college club national championships occur in conjunction with the high school championships, and will be held in Tempe again next year.

The first smile is a milestone that can warm your heart. After many long and often sleep-deprived nights, suddenly your baby turns to you and grins.

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

But a baby’s smile is so much more—it has an important role in his or her lifelong health. Baby teeth are vital for chewing foods and speech. They prepare the mouth and jaw for permanent teeth as well. Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic diseases among children today—the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that about 1 in 5 kids ages 5 to 11 have untreated tooth decay.Yet we know that proper oral health early in a child’s life can also reduce problems later on. What parents and caregivers can do: • Clean your baby’s mouth after feedings—even before the first teeth come in. Wipe the gums with a soft, clean cloth. • Once baby’s teeth come in, brush them with a small amount of fluoride toothpaste on a small, soft-bristled brush. brush All children should be br brushing teeth for two minutes, two times per day. •Don’t put babies to sleep with b bottles of formula or sugary drinks, as this can lead to to ooth decay. Wait until baby is 1 year old before serving juice.

Fifty West Brewing is growing, lands on top 50 list Andrea Reeves Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Fifty West Brewing Company landed a spot on the list of the 50 fastest growing small and independent craft brewing companies of 2018.

No. 0414 LEFT/RIGHT SYMMETRY

BY WILL NEDIGER / EDITED BY WILL SHORTZ Will Nediger, of London, Ontario, has a Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Michigan.

The reason for this puzzle’s unusual grid pattern with left-right symmetry will soon be clear. — W.S.
