Dutch’s Larder in Hyde Park closes Brian Planalp Fox19

Hyde Park restaurants are dropping like fl ies, and this one hurts. Longtime neighborhood staple Dutch’s Larder closed its doors for the fi nal time Thursday night, according to one of the restaurant’s owners, Jay Ashmore. “Due to professional and personal changes among all three partners, the current ownership structure is no longer sustainable, and Dutch’s will be closed indefi nitely,” Ashmore said. “We are forever grateful to our loyal employees and patrons who have shared in our vision and made it so enjoyable.” When cancer survivor Stan Moczydlowski contemplates what his driving means to him, he claps a hand over his heart. His lips tighten. “It just feels good,” he sayS. PHOTOS BY MEG VOGEL/THE CINCINNATI ENQURIER

Jennie Key Cincinnati Enquirer

A popular Hyde Park restaurant ended decades of serving comfort food quietly Sunday, Dec. 29, closing its doors after more than 30 years. The Hyde Park Hitching Post, 2715 Madison Road, closed with little warning. A Facebook post by the owners thanked customers for their support. Frank Kashar and Peggy Kahsar Arnold owned and operated the Hitching Post since 1986. It was a tough week for Hyde Park restaurants, as the neighborhood’s Keystone Bar and Grill also closed its doors. The Hyde Park Hitching Post Facebook page says the siblings grew up in Cincinnati and all of their children have worked for them at one time or another. Frank has three sons, Frank III, Tyler, and Alex. Peg has one son, Rob, and two daughters, Jessica and See POST, Page 2A

Amy. The page said The Hyde Park Hitching Post was one of the original Hitching Posts left in Cincinnati, still using the original recipes from the Hitching Post franchise that started in the early 1960s and continue to serve “The World’s Best Fried Chicken and Outstanding Breakfast.” The post said the original store was on Edwards Road until the early 1970s. Houses on the corner of Madison and Edwards roads were moved to Oakley to make room for the Home State Savings Development, which is now the Hyde Park Center. That’s when owners moved the Hitching Post into the Madison Road location. Franks told the Cincinnati Business Courier he and his sister tried to

At the start of the week, Moczydlowski as usual checked the society’s website where patients ask for drivers. A man in Hyde Park needed a lift to Good Samaritan Hospital. Moczydlowski – pronounced moe-zid-LAUW-ski – signed up to drive. In 2001, Moczydlowski got a diagnosis of prostate cancer. He and his wife, Flo, a nurse and teacher at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, went to support groups where they learned about treatments and how to handle a hospital visit. The support groups emphasized exercise, so Moczydlowski got on his bike and rode around Anderson Township. He came through treatment and has been in remission since. He kept riding his bike, and he rides on Tuesdays and Thursdays. He’s completed at least four Pelotonia rides in Columbus to beneﬁ t the James Cancer Center at Ohio State University. But he wanted “to pay it forward somehow” in

another way. When he retired from accounting work with Fidelity Investments in 2013, he signed up to be a cancer-society driver Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Ninety-nine percent of his passengers are nice, he said. One lady told Moczydlowski that she had no sense of taste anymore. She said all she wanted was a big, fat, juicy hamburger, “and I told her, ‘well, there you go, that’s your long-term goal.’ ” Months later, on Christmas night, the phone rang at the Moczydlowski house. Puzzled, he took the call. It was the lady he’d driven months before, with news that she got to eat that burger. Sometimes, if his passenger’s treatment is brief, Moczydlowski will sit in the waiting room with a book until the patient is ﬁ nished, then Moczydlowski takes them home. If the treatment is longer, the Vietnam War veteran goes to the Cincinnati VA Medical Center and volunteers as a hospital escort. Flo Moczydlowski said she’s amazed at the driving short cuts her husband has acquired from his time with patients. “There are two things I

can do,” Stan Moczydlowski said. “I can plug the address where we are going into GPS, or I say, ‘Do you have a route you like to go?’ Usually, these are people who have lived here a long time, and they’ll tell me, ‘Go here, turn here.’ ” The issue of transportation is critical for other organizations that assist people through cancer treatment. The nonproﬁ t Cancer Justice Network has funding through OKI Regional Planning, the Congregation of St. Joseph, and Christ Church Cathedral to pay the Cincinnati Area Senior Services to arrange van pickup and delivery Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Network founder Steve Sunderland wrote about transportation in a recent newsletter, “We are a driving culture: Cars-only is the way to health if you want speedy access.” On the recent Friday afternoon, Moczydlowski steered to the Beechwood Home, a Hyde Park facility that cares for patients with neurological issues. Moczydlowski had arrived at the wrong door, but eventually, a caregiver presented Bradley Weber, 64. Moczydlowski made sure Weber was comfortable in the front passenger seat, then he climbed again behind the steering wheel. “You always live in this area?” Moczydlowski asked. “I’ve always lived in Northern Kentucky,” Weber replied. He was diagnosed about a year and a half ago with colon cancer and was looking at an afternoon of radiation and chemotherapy. He stopped driving several years ago. “Well at least we have a nice day today,” Moczydlowski said. “Yeah, not bad at all.” In front of Good Samaritan Hospital, he parked the Subaru near the front door and threw a sign onto his dashboard: “Volunteer Driver Waiting for Patient.” Moczydlowski walked Weber into the hospital, where Weber’s brother and sister-in-law were waiting for him. Moczydlowski oﬀ ered his hand, which Weber shook. “Good luck to you,” Moczydlowski said. Moczydlowski drove back to his Anderson Township home, his driving done for the week. He had a bike ride planned for the weekend.

Fifty West is releasing a new 100-calorie beer Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Fifty West Brewing is launching a new beer that people can drink without feeling guilty about the calories. The new beer, called Quencher, is 100 calories. The brewery said it’s the perfect pairing for an active lifestyle. Quencher is Watermelon Lime ﬂ avored and has reduced gluten and 4.1% ABV. So what do you expect when drinking it? “Feels like beer to me, but with the watermelon puree, it’s almost seltzerlike,” said Max Fram, vice president of strategy and operations at Fifty West. “It’s so light, there’s no bitter, no hoppiness. It tastes like a mix.” Brewers at Fifty West attempted to mimic the proﬁ le of a sports drink with electrolytes. “The electrolytes are the coolest part,” Fram said. The Quencher has low alcohol, no added sugars and the additions of electrolytes for hydration. The brewery is releasing this beer as it launches a new season of Fifty West Training Groups, which trains people to run marathons. Quencher became available in the brewery and in Kroger stores on Jan. 6.

Cincinnati Police Officer Jody Edwards, of District 4, looks on as Caleb Hulsey, 6, reaches to pick out cookies with Tammy Hulsey, left, and Casey Hulsey, all of Hartwell, during the Get the Groceries event at the Oakley Kroger.

Rita’s favorite, essential kitchen gadgets Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

I’ve been getting this question asked a lot lately, so I think it’s a good topic to address. Yes, it’s about food. Well, in a roundabout way. Gadgets! I’ve done my research in the most practical way: cooking. A lot of my favorite essential kitchen gadgets are “off the grid” items – except for the digital thermometer, no electric or battery power involved. Some even multi-task. Here’s a baker’s dozen of my tried and true gadgets (that means you get 13 instead of 12), in alphabetical order. Adjustable steamers 2 choices: metal and silicone. Metal steamers fi ts any size pan and open like a fl ower. Silicone steamers are microwavable and fi t any size pan, too. Both have feet. Neither takes up much room, as metal steamers store fl at and silicones can be rolled up. Bench scraper I like a stainless steel scraper. It chops, scoops up and scrapes dough and fl our off counter. Box grater Tight on space? Takes the place of several microplanes. Zest citrus, make Parmesan curls, even grate chocolate on this multi-purpose gadget. Cookie/ice cream scoops Indispensable for measuring muffi n and cupcake batter. And scooping out even amounts of dough. My large one scoops out mashed potatoes or rice. My smaller one digs cores out of apples and pear halves. Hand turned pepper mill I wouldn’t trade my adjustable grind mill for any electric one. Nothing like the aroma of freshly ground pepper. High quality scissors

Some of Rita’s favorite and essential kitchen gadgets. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

Joyce Chen scissors can go from garden to kitchen. Both right and left handed with ﬂ exible, dish-washer safe handles. Easily cut through the back of a chicken. Also super for cutting delicate herbs. Instant read meat thermometers Insert digital instant read thermometers about 1/4” in. Standard instant reads have to be inserted up to 2” – up to the little dimple on the side of the stem. Both register temperature pretty quick. Can be used to measure temperature of casseroles, etc. Manual can opener I don’t like electric can openers. They’re hard to keep clean. My manual one is rinsed and dried – only takes a few seconds – every time I use it. Peelers The French wide blade peeler sometimes called “Y” peeler due to its shape is my go-to. Peels a wide area. Available in ceramic or carbon steel blades. Peelers with carbon steel blades (my fave)

should be washed and dried immediately to prevent rust. Potato masher Included in my ﬁ rst kitchen utensil set. It still can mash avocados for great guacamole. It does a thorough job of breaking up meat in the skillet and, oh yeah – mashing potatoes! Sieves/colanders Sieves for smooshing and draining; colanders for pasta, potatoes, etc. Spatulas/spoons Heat- and stain-resistant spoonshaped silicone spatulas with removable handles for easy washing garner high marks with me. Use wooden spoons for stirring long cooking sauces since they don’t conduct heat like metal spoons. Tongs Tongs with silicone edges and narrow “grips” are my choice. Juice lemons and limes with tongs. Cut in half and squeeze. Check out my site for more “must haves.”

A quality peeler peels only the skin and not the flesh.

‘Small, green soft plastic’ may have contaminated Cincinnati beef Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Over 15,700 pounds of ready-to-eat beef patty products have been voluntarily recalled from a Cincinnati establishment, oﬃ cials announced Dec. 20. AdvancePierre Foods, located at 9987 Carver Road in Blue Ash, says the beef products may be contaminated with small, green soft plastic, according to a release from the United States Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). Aﬀ ected products are limited to foodservice and not available for purchase in retail stores. The recalled packages of 15.09 pound

frozen, bulk-packed cases containing CN fully cooked ﬂ amebroiled beef patties with product code 69097 on the case label were produced on Sept. 11, according to the release. The products were shipped to a single customer in Iowa and distributed to institutions, including schools. The schools did not use the product for the National School Lunch Program, the release states. None of the recalled packages were sold in retail stores. According to the release, AdvancePierre Foods became aware of the problem after they received a complaint from a foodservice provider concerning green soft plastic found in two patties. A total of 1,043 cases of the product have

been recalled out of caution. There have been no conﬁ rmed reports of illness or adverse reactions due to consumption of these products, the release states. FSIS urges institutions that have purchased these products to not serve them. The products should be thrown away, according to the release. A release from AdvancePierre Foods says that the amount of packages recalled totals to about the same size of half a truckload. Consumers with questions may call or text the consumer relations department on a special tollfree line at 1-855382-3101, AdvancePierre said in their release.

Top Southwest Ohio preps storylines of the decade Melanie Laughman and Luke Feliciano Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

If there’s one thing Cincinnatians are passionate about, it’s high school sports; they love to reminisce. The Cincinnati Enquirer asked readers what the top storylines were for Southwest Ohio from 2010-2019 and here’s what they said: La Salle football’s rise to prominence - La Salle won four of the state’s 10 Division II football championships in 2014, 2015, 2016 and most recently in 2019. The Lancers’ rise to football prominence began this decade as the program captured its fi rst state title in 2014. Colerain football’s run - Colerain won 10 straight GMC titles between 2010-19 while compiling a 112-18 record. All but one of those seasons (2014) saw double-digit win totals and the 2010s included eight seasons in which the Cardinals won 11 games or more in a single season. Southwest Ohio soccer dominance - Every year but one of this decade has had at least one Southwest Ohio state champion in girls soccer. The 2017 season saw Cincinnati teams take state titles in every division - Todd Kelly’s Loveland in Division I, 2018 National Coach of the Year Amy Dunlap’s Indian Hill in DII and 2019 National Coach of the Year Theresa Hirschauer’s Cincinnati Country Day in DIII. Other titles: 2010 - Madeira (DII, Dan Brady); 2011 - Summit Country Day (DIII, Mike Fee); 2012 and 2013 - Badin (Todd Berkely, DIII); 2014 - McNicholas (DII, Ben Kirkpatrick) and Badin (DIII); 2015 Summit Country Day (DIII); 2018 - Indian Hill (DII) and CCD (DIII); and 2019 Lakota West, (DI, Brigit Reder) and CCD (DIII). In that one season without a champion, Springboro and CCD were semifi nalists. Mason girls went to three straight state fi nals, 2012-2014. During that span, Cincinnati can boast three Ohio girls Gatorade Players of the Year over fi ve years: 2009-2010, Elizabeth Burchenal, St. Ursula; 20142015 & 2015-2016, Malia Berkely, Badin; 2017-2018 & 2018-2019, Anna Podojil, Indian Hill.

2019); Jack Clark, Mason (2013-2014); and Sam Bascom, Madeira (2012-2013) For the boys, Summit Country Day has had six state championships, fi ve in Division III (2012 and 2013 under Barnard Baker, 2015-2018 under Scott Sievering) and one in Division II (2018, Sievering). Mason won a Division I title under Paul Reedy in 2013, Moeller reached the state fi nal in 2018 and Lakota East made the DI state fi nal four in 2019. Flowing from this bounty has been Cincinnati sweetheart Rose Lavelle, who starred at Wisconsin before being drafted No. 1 in the National Women’s Soccer League and eventually becoming an international star with the U.S. Women’s National Team when they won the World Cup. There’s even more talent where this came from, including 2019 Ohio Ms. Soccer Kailyn Dudukovich. Cincinnati Development Academy and the Cincinnati club soccer scene (Cincinnati United, Ohio Elite, Kings Hammer, TFA, Fairfi eld Optimist Soccer Club, among others) have been infl uential in producing many of these local talents. St. Xavier’s improbable state title After going 5-5 in the regular season, St. Xavier High School football, led by now Penn State quarterback Sean Cliff ord,

with healthy meals each week. Two tragic events struck the Cincinnati sports community in less than a year. In November 2013, Mt. Healthy football player Vince Turnage was fatally shot during a home invasion. In September 2014, Little Miami senior captain Brayden Thornbury died after being involved in a car accident. After being the benefi ciary of several acts of kindness – most notably a fi nancial donation from Loveland High School – Mt. Healthy head football coach, Arvie Crouch, paid it forward. He supported the Little Miami cause by purchasing Play Like Bray t-shirts, which the team donned in its pregame warmups. Saving lives - Reading athletic trainer Susan Blackson helped resuscitate 56year-old Jerry Overbeck, the program’s boys basketball coach, after he suff ered a heart attack in the locker room following the Indian Hill at Reading varsity boys’ basketball game the night of Dec. 2, 2016. Moeller athletic trainer Craig Lindsey saved Centerville lacrosse player whose heart stopped in the middle of a game. The injured player, Grant Mays, was struck in the chest defending a shot. He picked up a ground ball and ran downfi eld before collapsing. Lindsey, who was monitoring both Moeller’s lacrosse game and the school’s rugby game on the adjacent fi eld, helped save Mays’ life. With the help of an emergency medical technician and a doctor from the crowd, an intern and trainer, Mays was stabilized with the use of an AED device. Saving grace - Williamsburg wrestler Brian Stears won the 2017 Division III heavyweight state championship after going 36-0 and earned a full scholarship to Bellarmine University. He began wrestling as a freshman and credited the sport, his coaches and a few others for getting him on the right path and steering him away from a bad life that surely would’ve resulted in a much diff erent future than the one he is likely to have now. Taylor wrestler Nate Marmol had a similar experience. He excelled on the wrestling mat in 2015, after overcoming homelessness and other challenges in his youth. Best boys track team in the decade The 2011 LaSalle track and fi eld state championship is the only boys Division I track and fi eld state team title from Cincinnati in the 21st century.

Hamilton County foster children get their Christmas wishes fulﬁ lled Teenage foster children of Cincinnati enjoyed a Christmas celebration on Dec. 19 at People’s Church in Corryville. Organizations and families throughout Greater Cincinnati donated gifts, including the Where2Next Foundation, the congregation of Gaines United Methodist Church in Madisonville, and even by one family from Cleveland. The foster teens asked for everything from dishes, towels and bedding to tablets and restaurant gift cards. One donor even added a few gifts for the dog of one of the children! Many of the children got every single item on their Wish List. One teen, Matthew, who moved into his own apartment in Hamilton County Job & Family Services’ independent living program, was thrilled with his PS4. His case managers were happy about that, too, because moving out on your own can be lonely and diﬃ cult. He had little to do in his own place. Now, he can play on his game system. The teens played

“Name That Christmas Tune” for prizes (gift cards) as they feasted on pizza and desserts donated by Jimena Whittle of Southern Treats Sweetery. The teens also shopped for themselves at the free “store,” which was stocked with more donated items – coats, clothes, socks and undergarments, suitcases, backpacks and toiletries. There is always a need for new socks, undergarments, disposable diapers and personal hygiene items for infants through age 18.

SCHOOL NEWS Brave innovation? There’s an app for that… The new Indian Hill High School Digital Arts Technology Lab was the scene of end-of-semester exhibition excitement Friday, Dec. 6. Computer Science Principles AP students paired up to breathe life into original ideas – creating fully functioning apps for some creative competition. “This project was a practice in growth mindset techniques,” said teacher Jordan Siebenaller. “While creating apps, rarely does anything work exactly how they want it to on the ﬁ rst try. There are always improvements, bugs to ﬁ x, and reformatting. Since the students are invested in the project by creating their own app of their own liking, when they come upon a problem they have to hunker down, dive deeper into the issue, and come up with solutions.” Students spent time both inside and outside of the classroom brainstorming, planning, creating, and programming the apps, which they showed how to use through a video report. Visitors toured the exhibition, talked with students about the apps they created, and rated how well the students performed. “This project allowed the students to learn by collaborating with others, and gives them the chance to be creative and express themselves while applying their learning so far in Computer Science Principles,” said Siebenaller. “We set up the competition and app exhibition as a way for our larger educational community to have the opportunity to come in and see the cool things our science students are doing and creating in this new course and space.” Heather Higdon, Indian Hill School District

America best off er students experiences in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) — as defi ned by the Congressional Research Service — while preparing them for post-secondary outcomes. Additional factors, including affl uence and median household income, were taken into consideration in compiling the rankings. “Children don’t realize it, but they’re natural STEM students,” says Nancy Cooper, Newsweek Global Editor in Chief. “We need to make sure that innate drive, curiosity, and creativity aren’t lost along the way. These high schools are helping to ensure America’s future in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics is in good hands.” Alex Lange, Mariemont City Schools

Seventh-graders at The Seven Hills School use dress code to study the First Amendment As part of their discussion of the Bill of Rights, seventh-graders in Doug Huff ’s history class at The Seven Hills discussed the Seven Hills dress code in the context of our First Amendment Rights. Huff started the lesson by talking about Tinker vs. Des Moines, a landmark Supreme Court ruling that stated public school students do not lose their rights to freedom of speech when they enter a school. Huff told the class that the ruling created the Disruption Test, which asks, “Does what you’re wearing cause a disruption?” The Disruption Test is often applied to school dress codes. Huff then read students the Middle School dress code and asked them to answer the question, “Should the Middle School have a dress code?” “Real changes can occur from this assignment,” he said. The activity brought the students’ history lesson to life in a way relevant to their everyday lives. Taylor Evans, The Seven Hills School
