Century-old Tradition Coming To An End Junior newspaper carriers, having served the Tristate for decades, are being retired Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

We’re losing another piece of “the good old days,” as junior carriers stop delivering weekly newspapers in the suburbs. This newspaper has been using junior carriers since at least the 1870s, but more likely since its launch in 1841. During that time, young people delivering newspapers has become a touchstone of the American experience. May will be the last month The Enquirer and its network of Community Press and Recorder newspapers will use junior carriers, also known as paper boys and paper girls in Ohio. The Kentucky carriers will deliver their last papers in June. Some East Side carriers have already made their last rounds.

Paper route taught life lessons Ben Bergan is 10. He just lost his ﬁ rst job. For the past two years, he’s been delivering papers near his home in Montgomery. “I decided I needed a continuous income because I didn’t like having a lemonade stand or two every year or so,” Ben said. “I did not like having to ask my mom or dad for anything any time we

went anywhere and I wanted something.” To say the elementary school student is entrepreneurial is an understatement. He started with one route, about 12 houses, but then picked up an extra route. “I’m really sad about losing my customers, all the people,” he said.

Ben Bergan is 10. He just lost his fi rst job. He recalled an older couple would wave at him through the window every time he dropped off a paper. His father, Dave Bergan, said it has been an emotional experience for his son. “He wanted a job. For an eight-yearold to say they wanted a job, this is all we could fi nd,” Bergan said. “This was just his fi rst regular job and responsibility where he was serving his customers. That’s just a hard skill to replicate in other ways at young ages.” Ben said the job helped him connect with other people in his neighborhood and taught him “you have to be nice to people in order for them to continue talking to you.”

But the 10-year-old has plans. He’s learning to run a lawnmower and wants to launch a dog walking business as soon as COVID-19 restrictions lift enough to allow it.

Red, White & Blue Ash canceled due to coronavirus pandemic Annual Fourth of July celebration usually draws thousands to the city Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Red, White & Blue Ash, the annual Fourth of July celebration that draws thousands, has been canceled due to the novel coronavirus, according to city offi cials. Blue Ash offi cials said the event was called off for the health and safety of residents, guests, vendors and employees. The statement also cited the uncertainty over the spread of the virus and

statewide orders for large gatherings. “Red, White & Blue Ash is important to the Blue Ash community and it is important to us. It has been a major part of this City’s identity for decades. This decision was made with heavy hearts, but we believe it is the right thing to do,” Blue Ash Parks and Recreation Director Brian Kruse said in a statement. The only other time Red, White & Blue Ash has been canceled was due to severe weather in 2005, oﬃ cials said. “We know how disappointing it is for the tens of thousands of guests who join us for the 4th of July every year, and we share in that disappointment, but keeping everyone healthy and safe right now must take precedence,” Kruse said.

Suit: Indian Hill school employee faced sexual harassment Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

An Indian Hill Exempted Village School District employee faced a hostile work environment, including sexual harassment and retaliation, according to a federal lawsuit. David Johnson, a former district custodian, accused district employees of joking about having sex with his wife and about his diabetes diagnosis, the lawsuit says. Johnson, who ﬁ led the suit April 28 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, seeks $500,000 in damages.

“Bullying and harassment is big at Indian Hill School,” wrote Johnson, who worked in the district from June 2018 until late last year. “...I speak not only for myself but for others who are scared.” A spokesperson for the school district said the lawsuit had been forwarded to legal counsel. “The (Indian Hill Board of Education) and the administration deny any allegations set forth within,” the district said of Johnson’s suit in a statement. Johnson accused another custodian, Brian Holtkamp, of “joking about my diabetes,” discussing his own penis size, grabbing his penis in front of Johnson and saying “I want to f*** your wife,” ac-

cording to the suit. Holtkamp also bragged about having sex on district property, the lawsuit says. Johnson also claimed two Indian Hill employees yelled at a third one, who was later discouraged from ﬁ ling a complaint. “I have talked to that woman; she is still traumatized,” the suit says. Johnson was eventually terminated for not completing training that was implemented due to his complaints, according to the suit. “The training was too little (too) late,” Johnson wrote, adding that co-workers in his department reported no similar

“In my head, tossing papers is a very traditional kids ﬁ rst job. I think the safety concern, I guess it’s valid, but I never felt unsafe on my route. It’s just disappointing that the opportunity for kids to come is just not going to be there anymore.”

want to do when it grows up? He said he wasn’t sure, but had a top three: animator, a YouTuber who does animation or maybe a job that involves working with animals.

Family ties The Price Hill Press will be one of the last Ohio publications to make the switch. Junior carriers for that paper will make their last delivery on May 27. Griffi n Kelley, 18, will be throwing papers on that last day on a route that has been passed down to him from his four older brothers. “I was tagging along walking the route with them when I was 6 years old. I was just having fun, along for the ride. I’ve had multiple customers tell us how amazing it’s been to watch all of us boys grow up,” Griffi n said. “We were able to build these relationships with people in our neighborhood that we wouldn’t have really got to know without this paper route.” Griffi n is set to graduate from Elder this year and will then head to Ohio State University, just like his older brothers. They have all caddied at Western Hill Country Club and been lifeguards at the Gamble-Nippert YMCA. Duncan Kelley is a senior at OSU graduating with a degree in sports industry. He said: “It’s just never really been an option about whether we would work or not, it’s about where we would work and pretty often how many jobs we would work.” The teens’ father, Deron Kelley, called throwing papers a rite of passage and credits it with helping build his sons’ work ethic. He too was a paper carrier when he was in high school in the early 1980s, though he delivered a much bigger, daily route from a van. Now Griffi n delivers weekly to about 65 houses. Half of what he collects goes to the newspaper, he keeps the other half plus any tips he receives. He said he makes about $120 a month and the job takes one to two hours a week. The papers are dropped off to his home on Tuesday nights. He folds them individually that night, then delivers them after school on Wednesdays. “We still had plenty of time to have a good high school social life, have other jobs, get our homework done,” Griffi n said. “It didn’t take too much time and it was still a great job to have.”

training had been off ered in more than a decade. The district declined to answer a question about the type of training implemented and Johnson’s claim about it not being off ered previously. Johnson currently works for Fort Thomas Independent Schools, according to the suit. He earlier reported his claims to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which found Johnson’s claims qualifi ed for a state or federal lawsuit. The EEOC also investigated his complaints but was “unable to conclude that the information obtained establishes violations of the (law).”

The brothers all delivered the Price Hill Press neighborhood weekly newspaper as part of the Cincinnati Enquirer junior carrier program. ALBERT CESARE/THE ENQUIRER

The Kelley family is extremely disappointed that the program is coming to an end. Paxton Kelley is a junior at Ohio State. He started helping his brother’s deliver the papers when he was about 9. “In my head, tossing papers is a very traditional kids fi rst job. I think the safety concern, I guess it’s valid, but I never felt unsafe on my route,” he said. “It’s just disappointing that the opportunity for kids to come is just not going to be there anymore.” Paxton said the job was a unique preparation for the working world. “A 9- or 10-year-old getting $80 a month, I didn’t know what to do with it. You just start to learn how to save money and you start to learn what money really is,” he said. “The whole time you’re speaking to adults, and that’s something most 9- or 10-year-olds avoid doing it.” “Our customers will invite us into their houses to keep us warm while they are going to get there money. They’ll give us water on hot days,” Griffi n added. The youngest Kelley said an ex-Marine had a choice words when learned the news. “When I informed him that the kids were being ‘kicked out’ of this paper route, he informed me that he was going to try to kick them out. He is not responding lightly to all this,” Griffi n said. The Kelleys also worry for their older customers. While they make sure the paper ends up at the doorstep, the don’t

trust adults in cars to do the same thing. “A lot of our customers are too old to be walking to the bottom of their driveway to get their paper,” Griﬃ n said.

A look back References to The Enquirer using “newsboys” can be found dating back to at least 1845, just four years after the paper was founded. In those early days, there were several daily newspapers in Cincinnati. Hundreds of newsboys worked in the city. After the second World War and the huge expansion of public education and suburbia, the job of paper boy or girl took on the look many envision today – the young person tossing papers over the handlebars of their bike. That continued into the 1990s, the decades that brought us the internet, a technology that proved to be monumentally disruptive to the newspaper industry.

The Associated Press reported in 2006 that in 1994, more than half of newspaper carriers were under 18. Twelve years later, 81 percent were adults in cars. The demise of afternoon papers, a shift to centralized distribution and earlier delivery deadlines were cited as reasons for the shift. The Enquirer’s parent company, Gannett, operates hundreds of newspapers in 47 states and Guam. Most phased out the use of junior carriers years ago. The Community Press and Recorders are among the last in Gannett to shift to an adult carrier program, consistent with industry best practices, according to Enquirer Executive Editor Beryl Love. Before the program began winding down this spring, there were 1,568 youth carriers delivering to 60,120 homes in region. It’s not a fi nancial decision. Love noted that it will cost more to hire adult carriers than to continue paying young people to do the job. “Ending the youth carrier program was an extremely diffi cult decision to make. The paper boy or paper girl is an iconic part of our history and it’s sad to see that tradition going away,” Love said. “That said, in this day and age, the safety concerns are signifi cant, and many families are uncomfortable with the idea of sending children out door-to-door.”

Children’s Home gets $457,000 FCC grant for telehealth capabilities Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Federal Communications Commission has awarded The Children’s Home of Cincinnati in Madisonville a grant of nearly $457,000 to improve its video telehealth capabilities. The nonprofi t agency at 5050 Madison Road also will use the grant to improve its remote monitoring programs serving low-income and vulnerable people throughout Greater Cincinnati who have been displaced by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Children’s Home helps children as well as their parents and caretakers. “This grant will help secure lifechanging health services for a largely underserved population,” John Banchy, president and CEO of The Children’s Home, said in a press release. “When COVID-19 altered the lives of our entire nation, we immediately shifted to a telehealth model to ensure the at-risk children in our care weren’t left behind. These funds will enhance that capability, so we can continue to help our community during this unprecedented time.” Dr. Joseph Rieman, medical director at The Children’s Home, said in the release that the medical community knows mental and behavioral health needs do not magically go away because of a national crisis. “Telehealth and telemedicine are very eff ective tools when used correctly. The providers at The Children’s Home have been trained the right way and in accordance with the correct protocols,” Rieman said. “We’re still helping clients. We’re just delivering care via a diff erent vehicle.”

SCHOOL NEWS Even with school closed, Moeller students aid food pantry Where there’s a will, there’s a way. With local schools closed due to the COVID-19 crisis, students at Moeller High School still found a way to reach out to those in need. Moeller’s House System — in which students from all four grades are divided into separate communities — set up a drive-through collection of nonperishable food and household products in the school’s parking lot. Karen Matuszek, on staff at Moeller, coordinated the event. “I don’t think even the rainy weather predicted on two of the four days will affect the event, “ said Matuszek. Staff and students stood under a Moeller track tent and enthusiastically welcomed and unloaded donors’ cars. The fi rst nights’ donations went to Reach Out Lakota, with the food pantry at NorthEast Emergency Distribution Services (NEEDS) picking up the next three nights. Located in Kenwood Baptist Church, NEEDS provides emergency food and fi nancial aid for residents of northeastern Hamilton County. Its food pantry normally benefi ts from food drives held by churches, schools and area businesses — most of which are closed due to the current crisis. Now, NEEDS has been forced to purchase much of the food it supplies to clients, and to rely on the FreestoreFoodbank for the rest. The Moeller drive will go a long way in restocking empty pantry shelves, reducing pantry expenses and meeting rising community need. It turns out that stir-crazy young men looking for something to do can do a lot. Maureen Flanagan, NorthEast Emergency Distribution Services (NEEDS)

the residents staying at Cincinnati’s Ronald McDonald House. At least, that is where the fi rst 100 masks were donated. “After hearing fi rst-hand from the staff at Ronald McDonald about the serious shortage of masks, we decided to make and donate a further 100 masks to a hospice and a senior center,” explained Allen Choi. “We noticed that a lot of people are going through extremely tough times because of the coronavirus, and therefore we wanted to help out the community in some way.” Allen Choi said the family felt called to action after seeing a news story about the shortage. The Choi family produced masks

made of two sanitized cotton cloths and a washable ﬁ lter. He says the family found support through the Indian Hill High School counseling team, School Nurse Shelley Hoyer, and Indian Hill Middle School Assistant Principal Cash Hayden. “We received a warm welcome from a staﬀ member at the Ronald McDonald House and knew that the toil and hardship were worth it,” said Allen Choi. “I am so glad to have started this project with my family for those who are not as lucky as we are.” Heather Higdon, Indian Hill School District See SCHOOL NEWS, Page 5A

Six CCDS seniors named National Merit Finalists All six Cincinnati Country Day School seniors have been named Finalists in the 2020 National Merit Scholarship Program. They are: Neil Badlani, Will Beyreis, Eashwar Kantemneni, Anushka Nair, Sylvia Nica and Renee Twyford. Kantemneni has also received a corporate-sponsored scholarship. Approximately 16,000 Semiﬁ nalists were named in the 65th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. These academically talented high school seniors

had an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,600 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $31 million that are being off ered this spring. Over 1.5 million juniors in about 21,000 high schools entered the 2020 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2018 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Qualifying Test (PSAT/ NMSQT), which served as an initial screen of program entrants. The nationwide pool of Semifi nalists, representing less than 1 percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, Semifi nalists must fulfi ll several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. Over 90% of the Semifi nalists were expected to attain Finalist standing, and about half of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title. The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), a not-for-profi t organization that operates without government assistance, was established in 1955 specifi cally to conduct the annual National Merit Scholarship Program. Scholarships are underwritten by the NMSC with its own funds and by approximately 400 business organizations and higher education institutions that share NMSC’s goals of honoring the nation’s scholastic champions and encouraging the pursuit of academic excellence.

Ginger beer.

Rita Heikenfeld

Guest columnist

HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Ginger beer can be made in less than a day Whether you’re working at home in a spare bedroom, a corner of the family room or in a real home offi ce, or even if you don’t usually work outside the home, one thing’s for certain. Most of us are doing more cooking than we ever thought possible. And being adventurous, yet frugal, in the process. I’m guessing that’s why you perked up when I mentioned ginger beer recently. Now don’t get excited – it’s not a real beer, since it contains no grain. But because ginger beer uses yeast in the quick fermenting process, we call it a “beer.” Ginger beer, made with ginger root, is naturally fi zzy with a sweet and spicy bite. The fi rst time I enjoyed it was at friend Triset De Fonseka’s Sri Lankan restaurant, Aralia. That was a long while back. I just assumed it was hard to make, but it isn’t. Ginger beer can be made in less than a day. The original recipe called for wine/champagne yeast, but I used regular bread yeast. It worked fi ne. If I can score some wine yeast, I’ll make a batch and let you know. I’m thinking the wine yeast will have a more refi ned fl avor. Oh, and one more thing. If you don’t have molasses, sub in honey or maple syrup.

Ginger Beer I used 1-1/2 cups sugar, since as it ferments, it becomes less sweet. Ingredients: 8 oz. fresh ginger or frozen root, thawed, peeled a bit and coarsely chopped 7-8 cups water 1 to 1-1/2 cups sugar 1 tablespoon molasses, honey or maple syrup 1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice or more to taste 1/4 teaspoon wine or regular bread yeast (active dry yeast) 1 container with enough space for fermentation, covered

fermentation. Sprinkle yeast on top of liquid. Cover with lid. Position it so a tiny bit of air can come in. (Original recipe said to seal tight, but I was afraid of jar bursting.) Let ferment/sit at room temperature for 12 hours or so. Mine sat a full 24. The longer it ferments, the more “beery/yeasty” it tastes. After fermenting, pour into bottles, leaving air space at the top, seal and store in refrigerator. I don’t seal mine real tight. Drink within 1 week. Can be used as a base for cocktails. Freeze ginger: Up to 6 months.

Instructions:

Grow your own ginger:

In a blender, pulse ginger with 1 quart water until roughly puréed.

Check out my abouteating.com site.

Combine ginger-water, 3 to 4 more cups water, sugar and molasses in pot over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves.

Alcohol content: About 0.5%. FDA classiﬁ es it as non-alcoholic. Ginger beer contains probiotics — good for your gut!

Add lemon juice and taste.

Fermentation tip:

Remove from heat and let cool to slightly warmer than room temperature.

Not sure if fermentation is happening? At any time during the process, give the beer a stir or shake (you can do this when you ﬁ rst add the yeast, too).

Line a funnel with coffee ﬁ lters (3) or double cheesecloth to strain liquid into container. Press on solids. I used a big glass jar. A big plastic soda bottle works, too. There should be 3” or so of space left on top for

You should see some action – bubbles forming and if you look close, tiny fermentation bubbles will be rising through the liquid.

Mariemont coaches hoped Mysogland’s sweet left-handed swing would be a staple of the Warriors lineup for two full seasons. PROVIDED/PETER MYSOGLAND

‘It was gone so fast’ Mariemont’s Mysogland reﬂ ects on two lost baseball seasons

Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

When the OHSAA offi cially cancelled the spring sports season, Mariemont baseball senior Peter Mysogland turned to fi lms of his football season last fall. There was an initial state of denial as he looked at games from Mariemont’s 7-3 season in 2019. Eventually, though, the realization set in: his baseball career was fi nished. “My mom came down to check on me and I started sobbing,” he said. “It was gone so fast.” The tears were not just because of the cancellation of spring sports. They extended back to the past two springs and the long road to recovery for Mysogland after having his world rocked and career path altered before the 2019 season.

Looking up Going into the 2017 season, Mariemont head baseball coach Joe Regruth noticed a need at second base. Insert Mysogland, a freshman at the time who showed the versatility to play

solid defense throughout the infi eld and could even hop on the mound and throw strikes, if needed. “We could’ve put other people there, but Pete was just better than those other options,” Regruth said. “He was a natural inclusion as a freshman on the varsity.” Regruth also noted that Mysogland’s smooth left-handed swing would eventually have power. As a freshman, Mysogland hit .188, but bumped that up to .310 as a sophomore in 2018 with nine RBI and his fi rst career home run in a wild 16-14 victory over Clermont Northeastern. “He was just about to hit his stride off ensively,” Regruth said. “We were thrilled with his progression and what his future looked like.” Mysogland would get invitations to college showcases and camps throughout the country on a seemingly daily basis as playing college baseball became a very real possibility. “I’m convinced he had the talent to play at the next level,” Regruth said.

The Ohio High School Athletic Association recently announced in a press release that its state cross country championships will be moving to Fortress Obetz, a 50-acre multi-purpose sports complex with a 6,500-seat grandstand on the southeast side of Columbus. Fortress Obetz opened in 2017 on the former site of the Columbus Motor Speedway, which closed in 2016. The racing that will now take place there in early November represents one of the largest high school cross country events in the nation, with an attendance of more than 11,000 fans. “We can’t wait for our student-athletes and Ohio’s entire cross country community to experience the state championships at Fortress Obetz,” Executive Director Jerry Snodgrass said. “This facility is so impressive, from the course layout for the competitors to being more spectator friendly for the fans and we are thrilled to sign a fi veyear agreement." Fortress Obetz was built to host sporting events, concerns, festivals and more. It was home of the Ohio Machine, a professional lacrosse team, from 2017 to 2019. The facility has fi ve video boards, concessions, restrooms and a big parking lot. The grandstand includes 1,100 fl ip-down seats, 2,000 bench-back seats and 3,400 bleacher seats. “The Village of Obetz is extremely proud and excited to partner with the OHSAA,” National Director of Athletic Operations and Facilities Promotion Steve Adams said. "We feel our Memorial Park and the Fortress is perfectly suited for the OHSAA cross country state tournament. We have created a safe and challenging course for the runners and kept the spectator experience in mind, as well." The OHSAA state cross country championships were held at Scioto Downs, located just south of Columbus, from 1985 to 2010. National Trail Raceway in Hebron hosted the state championships from 2011 to 2018. "We would like to thank National Trail Raceway for hosting the state championships for the last nine years and doing an outstanding job as our host," Snodgrass said.

NO LAYING UP:

How four friends with local ties built an online golf empire Adam Baum Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A round of golf usually presents an unavoidable incident. One in which a golfer must make a decision: go for it, or play it safe. In that way, golf is like life. Life presents circumstances and sometimes those circumstances intersect at the right place and right time, with the right people. That’s how four friends, who happened to be golf fans, created No Laying Up – a rapidly-growing online golf brand that’s cultivated a massive audience and major brand partnerships with Callaway Golf, BMW and Charles Schwab. And it all started here in Southwest Ohio. Phil Landes, Todd Schuster and Chris

Solomon met as students at Miami University from 2004-2008. Landes is from Cincinnati. He graduated from Mariemont High School in 2002 before he went on to play college basketball at Washington & Lee University. A coaching change after his freshman year was the ﬁ rst domino to fall into place. Despite his lengthy frame, Landes wasn’t a post player. “I was a little bit rail-thin and much more of a guard trapped in a taller body,” said Landes, who’s often referred to by his nickname, “Big Randy.” His new coach wanted Landes down low in the paint, where most players taller than 6-foot-6 reside. See GOLF, Page 2B

“Randy was like, ‘No dude, I’m a point guard. I don’t bang down low,’” laughed Todd. “He ended up quitting after his sophomore year and transferred back to Miami and that was how I met him.” Schuster and Solomon lived across the hall in the same dorm during their freshman year. Landes and Schuster were both in the Kappa Alpha fraternity, and soon the three of them formed a friendship. “I think I had asked Randy if he wanted to go up to the Memorial (a PGA Tour event at Muirﬁ eld Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio) one year,” said Todd. Dublin is Solomon’s hometown, so they stayed at his parent’s house during the tournament, “and we did that a couple years in a row and that was kind of the start of our friendship between the three of us with golf as the main conduit,” Todd said.

‘We never set out to start a business which I think is one of our secrets to success’ — Landes After Miami, work took them in diﬀ erent directions. Landes went to business school at Indiana University before landing a job in public accounting. Solomon worked in accounting for KPMG in Chicago, and Todd worked for the Ritz-Carlton in Atlanta. They stayed in contact with a text message thread that ultimately served as the genesis for No Laying Up. “They had a text thread and they added me in because I knew those guys from going to visit (Miami) and it was really your classic thread with your buddies but about golf,” said Neil Schuster, Todd’s younger brother and the company’s fourth co-founder. The endless barrage of text messages produced an idea. “We had the text chain for a couple years and … I just remember a few years into the real world we were starting to think that we gotta do something with this,” said Solomon. “I don’t even know how we landed on golf, but the conversation always came back to golf.” So, Solomon created a Twitter account in early 2013. He called it No Laying Up and shared the password with his associates, unaware they were about to systematically create dream jobs. “Thinking back, it’s like oh my God, we were just blasting these stupid golf thoughts into the ether,” said Landes. “…I remember when we hit 100 followers, and it was like this is incredible. Why are 100 people following us? Who are these people? There was very slow growth – some people are starting to follow this, but we didn’t have a longer outlet.” They had another idea, one that would allow them to expound upon their thoughts in more detail. At the time, Twitter only allowed 140 characters in a single tweet, so the next move was a website.

‘I wrote the ﬁ rst article which was about a guy wanted for murder that got spotted in a PGA superstore banging balls in a simulator’ — Neil

golf wasn’t. “What we soon realized was there’s not really a golf podcast and more than a podcast, there’s not really a golf outlet,” Landes said.

Neil was working for a tech startup in San Francisco. The Schuster brothers are from Atlanta, but their parents are both from Ohio and their dad, Steve, is a 1972 St. Xavier High School grad. Neil, who played football at Columbia University, was the clear choice to help handle the new technical endeavor. Walking through downtown San Francisco to get 49ers tickets in November 2013, Neil got a call from his brother, Landes and Solomon. “At the time, the startup I worked for was a tech company,” said Neil. “They’re like, ‘You’re in tech’ – I was in sales, so I wasn’t a coder – but they asked if I could build a blog and I said absolutely.” Neil watched YouTube videos to learn how to build a website. He was also lucky that his roommate at the time was able to help him polish it and build the WordPress site, which took nearly all of December. The fi rst article was published on Jan. 1, 2014. Among other things, they’d write weekly previews for tournaments, still to very little fanfare or readership. “At any given time over the fi rst year to 18 months somebody would get busy or burnt out,” said Neil. “And nobody’s reading any of this. It’s like 500 Twitter followers but we’re all reading it and we’re laughing and helping each other out. “I know I’m gonna spend two hours writing this weekly preview for the Valspar (Championship) and my brother, Randy and Soly are gonna read it and laugh so that’s kind of enough of a reason to do it.” The next watershed moment was in April 2014 when they recorded their fi rst podcast episode at the Heritage, a PGA Tour event in Hilton Head, South Carolina. At the time, podcasts were becoming more and more popular and No Laying Up recognized an opening and seized upon the timing. “We were extremely lucky with the timing,” said Landes. “We joked that golf was consistently about fi ve years behind the times.” Where other major sports were already being fl ooded with blogs and podcasts,

‘Maybe we’ll get a couple free rounds out of this’ — Neil

Mysogland Continued from Page 1B

‘Something’s wrong.’ During spring baseball tryouts in 2019, coaches noticed Mysogland ﬂ inching while receiving throws from the catcher at second base. He wasn’t seeing the ball until the last possible second. One day later during the ACT, Mysogland knew there was a serious issue. “I was basically taking the test with one eye,” Mysogland said. “I remember sending a text to my dad saying, ‘something’s wrong. I literally can’t see.’” Mysogland and his father visited LensCrafters in Kenwood, where he was immediately referred to the Cincinnati Eye Institute. “The doctor there was basically petriﬁ ed of the pictures that she saw,” Mysogland remembers. Further scans revealed a large growth attached to the retina of Mysogland’s left eye. Percentages were very high that he would lose all vision in the eye, even if surgery was performed because the growth was attached. Mysogland had past surgeries on his wisdom teeth and an emergency procedure on a ruptured appendix, but when he heard about how the doctor was going to cut his eye open, he was spooked. He got through it with his faith and a great supporting cast around him. “I have a great group of friends who are all followers of Christ, as am I, and they just helped me get through it by praying for me and sending me parts of the word to read,” he said. “If it wasn’t for them, or my faith, I don’t think I would’ve gotten surgery; I would’ve been too scared.”

Peter Mysogland got to play sparingly as a junior, collecting one hit near the end the of the season. That single against Western Hills would be his last with the Warriors. PROVIDED/PETER MYSOGLAND

Regruth got permission to tell the team about Mysogland’s injury. The club met in the locker room and was instantly taken back. “You could’ve heard a pen drop,” Regruth remembers. “We as a team made sure we were in touch with him throughout the lead up and the post operative portion. We made sure that he was welcome in the dugout whenever he was available. He wanted to be a part of the team and the team wanted him to be there.”

The comeback trail After being limited to his living room couch for a few weeks after the surgery, Mysogland was permitted to return to

Early on the goals were pretty simple. They thought if they can get a few free rounds of golf or make enough money to pay for one golf trip a year then it would all be worth it. They had no idea it would evolve into quitting their day jobs to focus full-time on No Laying Up. Shortly after the website went up, Solomon accepted an off er from his company to move to Amsterdam, where he spent the next 33 months. When it was time for him to move back to Chicago and re-join his fi rm, he decided to quit and go all-in on No Laying Up. “We’re all living lives and this thing could have died easily,” Landes said. “I give Soly the most credit. I feel like he really kept it going at certain stages before we had any sponsorships and we were kind of plateaued at this relatively small audience. He was stubborn enough and then got some breaks with networking and meeting certain players.” A few months later, Todd followed Solomon’s lead, then Landes, and eventually, Neil left his job at Google. In addition to its merchandise line, No Laying Up’s audience growth associated with its digital content produced advertising revenue which made their business model profi table and their work ethics relentless because they had bet on themselves to succeed. Now, Solomon hosts the podcast and runs the main Twitter account which has more than 200,000 followers. Landes handles all the fi nances. Todd’s like a utility club that does a bit of everything from planning trips and events, to writing and editing, as well as helping Neil handle the merchandise. And they’re all involved someway in content creation. Recently, No Laying Up added video production to its list of undertakings. With that, they hired a fi fth full-time member to the team: DJ Piehowski, a former PGA Tour employee, who’s become an essential part of No Laying Up’s content creation. “I think my job title’s almost more of a

school in mid-April 2019. One month post-op, Mysogland was able to return to the fi eld as long as wore a thick pair of rec-specs. Mysogland was allowed to be a designated hitter, because from his stance in the batter’s box, his right eye was in front, facing the pitcher. He wasn’t the same player that hit over .300 as an underclassmen, but being on the fi eld again was worth it. In nine games, Mysogland went 1for-15 and drew eight walks. He singled in a 4-3 loss to Western Hills on May 10, 2019— the fi nal hit of his high school career. Usually, one’s junior season is a player’s time to shine for recruiters. For Mysogland, though, an email account and cell phone that were once buzzing with invites and opportunity both went dry. “As soon as coaches fi gured out there was something wrong with my eye, it just slowly stopped. It was a bummer,” he said.

One ﬁ nal season Mysogland played football in the fall without a hitch before using the winter to bulk up for his senior baseball season. He used a free period at Mariemont to take a daily weight lifting class and would throw outside whenever it warmed up. Regruth, now in his 11th season at Mariemont, said he doesn’t have team captains, but Mysogland resembled one. “Peter was one of our team leaders,” he said. “I always look to the seniors as the oldest and most experienced guys to be our leaders and he really stepped forward in that role.” Mariemont was just days away from traveling to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to play at The Ripken Experience when Regruth had to tell them the trip was not

consigliere if you want to think about ’The Godfather,’” said Piehowski. “I’m not necessarily part of the family but I’m integrated into just about everything you can be.” Since Piehowski arrived, No Laying Up’s venture into video has produced two popular golf travel series which have taken them all over the world and a competition series that recently featured 17-time PGA Tour winner Jim Furyk. There have been too many key moments along the way to name them all, but the initial sponsorship with Callaway got the ball rolling. Then during the 2016 Ryder Cup, PGA star Rory McIlroy, who’s sponsored by Nike, saw a No Laying Up t-shirt design and asked if he could get some for his friends. “I’m basically sending 40 shirts to some random address in Belfast (Ireland) like this is crazy,” said Neil, who got a cease and desist letter from Nike two weeks later. “I remember being like, ‘I’m going to frame this cease and desist as a turning point.’” McIlroy would eventually be a guest on the podcast. Same with Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson ahead of their 2018 pay-per-view match. Major winners Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth have also been on the show. “It’s been this series of natural progressions,” said Todd. “Our intent has never been to get views or clicks. We just want to put out quality content that we would watch and that we feel serves golf fans, and the other stuﬀ will take care of itself.” In the last six years, No Laying Up has advanced astronomically. They now have two podcasts that regularly reach a sixﬁ gure audience, more than 450,000 followers and subscribers across all social media platforms, as well as a popular merchandise brand.

‘I think about that all the time … the butterfly effect of this thing’ — Solomon Any number of things could have derailed this. Nothing did. “That’s the miracle of all of this,” said Solomon. “You can pluck one little thing out and none of it happens. “Here we are. It’s something I think about all the time and how incredibly fortunate we are.” They worked hard and they didn’t give up, and sometimes when those two things are present, the breaks might just fall the right way. If someone’s never played golf, they likely have to be explained what “No Laying Up” means. “It came from a mindset of guys that weren’t afraid to take chances or take things in their own control,” said Solomon. “It ended up becoming a great metaphor for us but I promise that was not the intention at the time. It was never about being reckless, it was like I love to celebrate the players that when presented with a huge challenge it was conﬁ dence in their ability that drove their decision as opposed to fear of what would happen if things went wrong.”

going to happen because spring sports had been temporarily postponed. “The guys had been working so hard and the leadership from the seniors was amazing,” Regruth said. “Looking at all of those guys and telling them, ‘guys, this isn’t gonna happen this year,’ that was really hard.” The spring season was in limbo for over a month before it was ultimately cancelled on April 20 by the OHSAA. For Mysogland, a once promising prep career had taken the worst of turns. At one point, he was showing signs of joining some of the greats Mariemont has produced over the years. Then, he lost his ﬁ nal two seasons to a sudden eye injury and a global pandemic. Regruth said he’s never felt worse for a player. “It just hurts so bad because you could tell it was driving him crazy to not be out there,” Regruth said. “To see him work as hard as he did with rehab and still come back was amazing and super uplifting. I feel terrible about this year.” Less than a month later, it still hurts and probably will for a long time. But Mysogland has come to terms with the situation and wants to make the most of it. The eye has improved immensely as he can read smaller words now and pick up the spin on a baseball when he’s hitting in the cage. There are still changes, though. Like when it comes to what’s next. Mysogland always thought he’d leave Ohio to go to college — preferably somewhere that doesn’t have all four seasons in one day, he says. But he recently went to Athens and fell in love with the Ohio University campus. He’ll become a Bobcat this fall studying sports management. “I’m excited about it and I’m happy,” he said.

Pandemic delays the annual river clean-up Cameron Knight

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The annual Ohio River Sweep event has been rescheduled due to COVID-19, according to the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission, which organizes the event. "The ﬁ rst priority of the program is the safety of our coordinators and volunteers," said Lisa Cochran, program manager for the event. The event was planned for June 20, but now the event will be split up into multiple dates. The Ohio River Sweep occurs in the six states which border the Ohio River. Organizers said each of these states has a diﬀ erent timeline for allowing group activities to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. In the past, the sweep has happened across the region at the same time, but this year, each community will schedule its own date. More information can be found at www.ohioriversweep.org or by contacting local coordinators listed there.

Giving back to the community The staﬀ of The Lodge Retirement Community are considered “essential employees” and as such we have been blessed to still be working. We also realized that many in the community have not been so lucky. Many are struggling and we wanted to do something to give back to the community. The Lodge hosted a food drive and ended up donating 18 boxes of food and $185 in gift cards and cash to the Life Food Pantry in Loveland. We have been truly blessed to have such a great team of employees who not only take great care of our residents, but also give back to our community as well.

Marriage help for couples in quarantine: New session to begin May 14 The strain of COVID-19 can reveal stress fractures in even relatively stable marriages. Financial stress combined with confi nement is pushing some marriages to the breaking point. The Marriage School is here to off er help, hope and encouragement to couples who are struggling.

Our award-winning program, The Third Option, is a 14 week skills-based group program that helps build stronger, more fulfi lling marriages.

Everything runs through Norwood: Community powerhouse Not only are talented people born in Norwood, but they are also attracted to the city. One such person is Angela Pancella, who moved from St. Louis to Norwood in 2006. In the mid-2000s, friends of Angela, Beth Maynard and her husband, traveled the country visiting various styles of community. The very ﬁ rst place they visited was a church in West Norwood, where the emphasis was on hospitality, sharing resources with neighbors, and living simply. She had a great experience there and described it in vivid ways that made the community sound intriguing. Angela came to Norwood because of the Vineyard Central community. She had recently turned 30 and was interested in exploring life in another city, since she had only ever lived in St. Louis. She sent her resume out in all directions, even as far as Juneau, Alaska, but nothing was opening up. She mentioned to Beth that she was feeling that it was a good time to move elsewhere, but she did not have a strong sense of where to

move. Beth casually mentioned checking out Vineyard Central. Angela visited Norwood in October of 2005, and by February of 2006, she had packed up and moved to Norwood. Because she is Catholic and Vineyard Central is a Protestant church, using a formerly Catholic church building, St. Elizabeth’s, she often tells people she moved so that she could help the church members understand their stained glass windows better. According to Angela, Norwood is an amazing place, and she considers her time here as a profound gift. This city has an unparalleled concentration of highly talented, highly engaged neigh-

bors who love and care for the place they live and go out of their way to help people feel at home. This is exempliﬁ ed by pay-as-youcan pizza made from Norwood-grown ingredients on Friday nights at Moriah Pie; by youth who attend Cooking Camp and then run their own community restaurant (with adult supervision); by the oﬃ cial Norwood Day Parade and the doit-yourself feel of the High Five Parade; by internationally-themed porch parties; by teachers who help make sure kids in their classes have more resources at home; by volunteers who See COMMUNITY NEWS, Page 10B

support kindergarten readiness for young families in practical ways; by community members who take a collective role in getting basketball hoops in a local park; and by much, much more. One of Angela’s most favorite Norwood memories happened when she was not in Norwood. At the time, Angela was the Communication Coordinator for ASAP (Activating Substance Abuse Prevention) Norwood. They have applied for the Drug Free Communities Grant, which helps to strengthen community coalition to do substance abuse prevention work. Angela heard that they were awarded the grant while on the short trip back to St. Louis that was unexpectedly extended because of transportation issues. A news reporter contacted Angela for this story for a live story. She then reached out to all eight coalition members, and they all agreed to be interviewed. This showed how committed and excited the coalition members are, and showed how Norwood is as a community. Although Angela will return to St. Louis to take care of family, she will take stories about the powerhouse that is Norwood and share them wherever she goes because these stories will inspire neighbors in any community to show their love for the place they live in practical ways.

Loveland resident 3D prints face shields for Ohio charitable clinics Natalie Clark, a Loveland resident, has been putting her 3D printer to good use: she and her family have been printing 3D face shields for Ohio’s free and charitable clinics. In response to the shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) for front-line healthcare workers, the family began creating face shields for Cincinnati-area hospitals in early April. But Clark, who is passionate about supporting charitable clinics, recognized that these facilities were also in dire need of PPE. Clark teamed up with the Charitable Healthcare Network, a state association for safety net medical organizations, to distribute the shields to clinics through-

out the state. Clark rallied together a team of 3D printers to create 500 face shields and 300 surgical mask tension relievers for CHN’s member clinics. “On behalf of our 3D printing volunteer group, we appreciate the opportunity and are honored to come alongside and support Charitable Healthcare Network community clinics,” stated Clark. The Charitable Healthcare Network’s 51 member organizations, which operate over 60 clinic sites statewide, continue to serve patients in any capacity that they can during the coronavirus pandemic. Doing so has required ﬂ exibility on the part of these clinics, which rely on volunteer labor and are supported through grants, private donations, and state funding. Many, including Grace Clinics of Ohio and Cleveland Ibn Sina Clinic, have implemented telemedicine services so that

patients can continue to be seen from a safe distance. Others, such as Columbus Cancer Clinic and Toledo/Lucas County CareNet, have begun to utilize their staﬀ and volunteers to deliver lifesaving medical supplies, food, and other resources to their patients. Whether clinics are dropping oﬀ medications at a patient’s home or seeing a patient at a clinic facility, PPE such as face shields, gloves, and masks help prevent the spread of COVID-19 from providers to patients and vice versa. “It is not unusual during times of crisis, to see people band together and give generously of their time and talent,” said Deb Miller, Executive Director of the Charitable Healthcare Network. “Because of the thoughtfulness of Natalie and her group, we were able to deliver 500 face shields to clinics around Ohio.” See COMMUNITY NEWS, Page 11B

Included among the 70,000 plus patients served by charitable clinics are many who are recently unemployed, and those with ongoing chronic medical conditions that require close monitoring and treatment. Some of the uniquely vulnerable patients seen include the homeless, undocumented, and those who have insurance coverage but are unable to ﬁ nd a provider in their community. Due to the recent spike in unemployment, free and charitable clinics anticipate a drastic increase in the number of patients they serve. According to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, over a million Ohioans have ﬁ led for unemployment in the past six weeks. For those on employer-sponsored health insurance plans, unemployment not only represents a loss of income: it can translate into a loss of health insurance in the midst of a global health crisis. “As we work together to meet the needs of the uninsured during this pandemic, we are also looking ahead and helping free and charitable clinics prepare for the expected increase in patient volume,” added Deb Miller. “We know it’s coming.” Christianna Barnard, Charitable Healthcare Network

Rotary Helping Hands supports Operation Give Back during pandemic The Rotary Club of Northeast Cincinnati donated $2,500 in April to support the food pantry of Operation Give Back. OGB is a non-profi t that supports students and families in the Blue Ash area with food, after school tutoring, and school supplies. With the closing of schools, businesses, and furloughs to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the demand for food assistance is higher than ever. This donation is the fi rst of a new program the Rotary Club program calls Helping Hands. By working with local non-profi t organizations, the Club will supply funds to help meet the needs of individuals or families that are often overlooked in the Club’s service area including Sharonville, Montgomery, Loveland, and Blue Ash.

Rachel’s roots. PROVIDED

Hair colorist rooting for clients Of course hair colorists can take care of their own hair, even during the coronavirus shutdown, but Rachel Burwinkel, owner of Roots By Rachel is letting her own roots grow in solidarity with her clients. It’s the ﬁ rst time she has seen her own natural hair color since she started coloring her hair at the age of 17. “I have been coloring my hair every two to three weeks for the last twenty years, so this is a big deal for me!. I’m unhappy about the gray in there.” Her normally vibrant red hair has decidedly brown roots. Her clients appreciate the gesture, but she has endured some good-natured ribbing from her peers. “I thought this would last for a few weeks at the most, and I have been very tempted to cheat on my promise!”

Food was packaged for curbside pickup by volunteers of Operation Give Back. PROVIDED
