Having problems with roundabouts? Get help at Summit Park this summer in Blue Ash Sheila Vilvens Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

For the person who has intentionally taken an alternate route to avoid driving a roundabout comes this – a roundabout practice course. This summer motorists can test their luck, or improve their skills, at navigating a golf course roundabout set up in Blue Ash’s Summit Park. The fi rst test drives were held ahead of the Memorial Day Weekend, but future opportunities are planned. While this sounds like an original idea, it’s not exactly new in Blue Ash. In 2014, the city painted pavement to resemble a single-lane roundabout at the city’s fi rst Touch a Truck event. “The intention was to provide a fun, educational activity to introduce roundabouts to our residents as we were exploring the use of certain intersections,” said Public Works Director Gordon Perry. Since then, two single-lane roundabouts have opened in Blue Ash and are working well, he said. “We currently have several multilane roundabouts in the planning stages and felt this would be a great time to put together a new course utilizing a multilane setup,” Perry said. “The multi-lane is a little more complex than a singlelane roundabout and we want to provide drivers a safe way to learn how to successfully navigate these intersections.” Other roundabouts are proposed to be built at the Plainfi eld Road and Hunt Road intersection, on Hunt Road at the Kroger entrance, and at the Plainfi eld

Road and Peppermill Lane intersection. The public can learn more about these improvements at a public hearing scheduled for 6 p.m. June 18, at the Blue Ash Municipal Building, 4343 Cooper Road. Details will also be shared about planned upgrades to the intersection of Plainﬁ eld Road with the eastbound

ramps to the Ronald Reagan Highway intersection. The roundabout test course is a golf cart scale model of the real deal, complete with realistic signage. “We wanted to create a learning space that we could repeat at multiple city events,” Perry said. “Our intention is to reach out to as many drivers as pos-

sible, with particular attention to those that feel apprehensive to driving in a roundabout, or those that would rather avoid them because they don’t understand the rules to drive them safely.” The golf course roundabout test track will be open again June 8 during SummitFest.

Sycamore Township’s Kenwood controversy:

Is this a conspiracy or economic development? Capital Investment Group want to build 248 apartments, a six-story hotel, a sixstory oﬃ ce tower and 20,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space.

It’s one paragraph in a 3,534-page Ohio budget bill. But the ﬁ ve lines of legal jargon could have a major impact on a suburban neighborhood in Cincinnati and for many other large townships around the state. The paragraph could hold the key to a $100 million commercial and residential project in Sycamore Township across from Kenwood Mall and adjacent to Jewish Hospital. The paragraph also ticked oﬀ residents who live near the development. They see a conspiracy. “We’ve done everything we can, now they try to end-run us,” said Glenn Hughes, as he walked the streets of his suburban neighborhood in Sycamore Township. He wore a homemade t-shirt with the phrase “If you vote Capital Project in, we vote you out.” “It seems funny they’re changing the legislation after all these years now.” Hughes and township trustee Jim LaBarbara aren’t laughing. They believe the Ohio General Assembly is trying to sneak through legis-

Supporters of the tax incentives say it’s a common practice and nothing shady is going on. The Gallery of Kenwood will bring in more businesses to support the mall area, and more revenues to the township, keeping taxes low for everyone else. Sycamore Township Trustees can’t even agree on whether the tax incentive - known as Tax Increment Financing or TIF - is part of the project. And the developer isn’t talking. Board of Trustees chairman Tom Weidman said the developer has not requested this tax incentive. That might be news to the developer. A memorandum of understanding sent to Deer Park Community City School District shows at least someone in the township has a plan for a TIF. In addition, Hamilton County planning documents show the developer inSee KENWOOD, Page 2A

quired about county approval for a TIF district. The revenues would have helped build a public parking garage for the project. The county planning department issued a report April 12 that cautioned county leaders against approving a TIF for a development of this size. The report noted that while this project would have relatively minor impacts, future projects as dense as The Gallery could “further exacerbate the traﬃ c issues and neighborhood impacts.” The roads in the Kenwood area are already congested, the planners indicated in the study. The developer never made a formal request for the TIF to the county after that, said county administrator Jeﬀ Aluotto. Emails obtained by The Enquirer between trustees and state legislators didn’t show any coordination or talk of a tax incentive for the develop-

ment. LaBarbara said the TIF has always been discussed as part of The Gallery project. Trustee Denny Connor also told The Enquirer it’s his understanding the tax incentive was part of the development, but he deferred all questions to Weidman.

A rogue trustee State law requires unanimous support from a township’s board of trustees for the incentive, known as tax-increment ﬁ nancing, or TIF. Under a TIF, the township would invest the increased tax revenue spurred by a development back into the road, parking and other infrastructure for that development. The one trustee standing in the way is Jim LaBarbara, the longtime radio disc jockey ﬁ rst elected to the board in 2017. “Am I a rogue trustee?” LaBarbara said with a laugh. LaBarbara doesn’t want The Gallery of Kenwood, at least unless it’s scaled back. Kenwood

Road is already a traﬃ c headache with the mall. “We must think about the consequences. One word: Massive,” LaBarbara said. “It is simply too large, too intense and too massive.” Gregg Fusaro, partner with Capital Investment Group, declined comment and wouldn’t say whether a TIF is crucial to the project. It appears they are hopeful of starting construction soon. Capital Investment Group this month served a notice to vacate by August 12 for any remaining tenants in the apartments currently on the site. An agreement with the

nearby Deer Park Community City School district signed on July 24, 2018 says the plan includes the TIF. “The township is interested in establishing a tax increment ﬁ nancing plan,” the agreement stated. As part of the agreement, the developer agreed to pay the schools $1.2 million up front in lieu of taxes. That’s news to Weidman. He said the township had nothing to do with the school’s agreement. “They’ve never come to the township and asked for a TIF district,” Weidman said.

It’s about money To get to the heart of the issue, follow the money. For Weidman and supporters of the development, the proposed development is about the tax revenue. More businesses will mean more tax revenue, lower taxes for the residents, and new residents and business in the township’s commercial hub near the mall, Weidman said. “It’s good policy to protect that business,” Weidman said. “When we decide to let the business district go to hell in a handbasket, you’re saying to the mall, ‘You’re not very valuable to us.” Weidman’s critics see other ﬁ nancial motiva-

tions behind the development. Donors aﬃ liated with the developer, Capital Investment Group, gave $11,000 to Weidman’s campaign in 2017, according to ﬁ lings with the Hamilton County Board of Elections. That accounted for 22 percent of the funds raised for Weidman’s general election race in 2017. Weidman said he’s proud of those donations. “I solicited many, many contributions from our business stakeholders in our Kenwood business district,” Weidman said. “I’m proud that they would support me. I’m a pro-business guy.” LaBarbara has often clashed with the other two trustees, Weidman and Denny Connor, even though all trustees are Republicans. LaBarbara’s supporters said they voted for him so he could break up the “good ole boys” club in Sycamore Township.

A minor distinction with major implications LaBarbara said he learned in April his opposition might not stop the development. He heard rumors about an amendment being added to the budget bill, one that would address the tax incentive needed for The Gallery of Kenwood. Rep. Tom Brinkman, R-Mount Lookout, this month amended the state

budget bill that changes the tax incentive for urban townships with populations of 15,000 or more. No longer would they need a unanimous vote to approve a tax-increment ﬁ nancing district. They’d just need a majority. It’s a minor distinction with major implications for development in Ohio’s 48 urban townships, especially Sycamore Township. Brinkman said he’s not doing this at the behest of Sycamore Township. That’s not even in his district, it’s in Rep. Jessica Miranda’s district. The newly elected Democrat told The Enquirer she supports the amendment. The region’s other urban townships - Green, Anderson and Columbia want this as well, Brinkman said. They don’t want one trustee holding up a major development. It has the support of the House Majority Leader, state Rep. Bill Seitz, RGreen Township. “You don’t want one trustee, one-third of the vote, nullifying what two-thirds of the body wants to do,” Seitz said. Other government entities, such as cities and counties, only need a majority vote for a TIF district. Why not townships, Seitz asked.

Why now? Who knows? But there didn’t appear to be a push for this change coming from other townships. Brinkman said it was brought to his attention by groups, but he doesn’t remember exactly who. “I spoke to many people, not sure who speciﬁ cally,” Brinkman said. “They bring it to your attention.” Brinkman bristled at the accusation this was done in secret. “It’s a transparent process,” Brinkman said. “They found out about it.” The budget bill with the amendment passed the Ohio House May 9. The Senate will take it up as early as this week. Then the House and Senate will hash out their differences. The budget must be passed by June 30. In the meantime, LaBarbara and others hope to convince lawmakers to drop the amendment. “I’m hoping the governor will sit down and talk to me,” LaBarbara said. “They’re going in the back door. Here it is tagged on to your budget bill. They’re sliding and slipping it through.”

The amendment The TIF amendment is on page 334 of the budget bill and states: “A board of township trustees of an urban township as deﬁ ned in section 504.01 of the Revised Code may adopt a resolution to require a majority vote rather than aunanimous vote or the purposes of contracting for or issuing securities for the construction of buildings under division (A) of this section.”

Death row inmate Elwood Jones ﬁ ghts for new trial Prosecutors say he’s a killer, his lawyers say he was framed

Rhoda Nathan, a 67-year-old New Jersey woman, was found beaten to death in her Blue Ash hotel room on Sept. 3, 1994.

Amber Hunt Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

When it comes to Elwood Jones’ 1997 murder conviction, his lawyer can explain away a lot of the evidence that prosecutors presented against her client. But not the necklace. Inside of Jones’ work toolbox, police say they found a unique pendant that 67-year-old Rhoda Nathan was often seen wearing. To prosecutors, it was the equivalent of a smoking gun and helped seal his fate in the 1994 slaying at a Blue Ash hotel. His lawyer, Erin Barnhart, agrees it’s a crucial clue, but for another reason entirely: Jones “Elwood doesn’t have any other explanation for having that pendant,” Barnhart said in a recent interview. “It comes down to, if Elwood was innocent, then that pendant was planted. And that’s not something you relish as an attorney.” It’s something she thinks she can prove, however, if given the chance. Barnhart is fi ghting to get Jones – a man on death row – a new trial in the case. And, she said, she might know who the real killer is. Jones, now 67, was convicted three years after Nathan’s Sept. 3, 1994, murder. His execution is scheduled for April 2021. Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters, who has repeatedly delayed the execution date as defense lawyers fi ght for Jones’ freedom, did not return a phone call seeking comment. The two original investigators – one with the Hamilton County Sheriff 's Offi ce, the

other with the Blue Ash Police Department – have since died. Barnhart ﬁ led a motion in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court for a new trial in March. Prosecutors’ response is expected in early June, after which the defense can reply. Judge Ethna Cooper could rule by year’s end. Jones had worked at the Embassy Suites in Blue Ash when Nathan, a hotel guest from New Jersey, was viciously beaten to death in her hotel room. She’d been pummeled so hard in the face that she lost two teeth. Jones – who had previous felonies on his record for burglary and aggravated robbery – rose to suspicion a few days later, when he was treated for a cut on his hand that got severely infected. Doctors determined Jones’ cut was riddled with a bacteria called eikenella corrodens, which is primarily, but not exclusively, from people’s mouths.

A doctor testifi ed in Jones’ trial that the injury was likely a “fi ght bite” – an infection that comes from hitting another person in the mouth, which can spread dangerous bacteria and cause sometimes life-threatening complications. But Jones said the injury came from an equally dirty place – a trash bag full of half-eaten food and broken glass. He said he fell outside of the hotel while carrying the trash to the Dumpster, cutting his hand. He said he reopened the wound breaking down a dance fl oor soon after, and the infection got so bad that he was hospitalized for four days. Investigators formed a theory. They said Jones had spotted Nathan’s two roommates head off to breakfast around 7:30 a.m., entered the room intending to rob it and was surprised to fi nd Nathan there. He beat her, snatched the necklace from her neck, then fl ed and

cleaned up before being spotted back on the job at 8 a.m. It was then that Nathan’s friends – an elderly couple also from New Jersey – returned to their room and found her lifeless on the fl oor. The initial investigation was inarguably sloppy. Despite severe bruising and bleeding, authorities assumed at fi rst that Nathan had died of a heart attack and didn’t collect evidence. Hours later, the coroner ruled the death a homicide, prompting police to circle back and check the room. They found nothing of note. Even an assistant prosecutor said during Jones’ trial: “There were so many people through there, the crime scene looks like a college dorm room.” Jones’ car – in which Nathan’s necklace was eventually found – wasn’t secured, either. Police took his car keys from him and left them on an offi cer’s desk for days before they searched the trunk, in which Jones kept his toolbox. After learning of Jones’ hand injury and fi nding the pendant in his car, prosecutors didn’t charge him with Nathan’s death, but they didn’t make their suspicions secret. Jones said they harassed him for a full year by keeping him under surveillance and getting him fi red from a new job. See JONES, Page 4A

Nathan’s knocked-out teeth were sent for DNA testing but didn’t implicate Jones. The police chief at the time told The Enquirer: “We identiﬁ ed the person who did it” and lamented that the testing failed to “identify our suspect.” In September 1995, investigators ﬁ nally got the indictment they wanted after they said photographs of bruising on Nathan’s body lined up with the butt of the walkie-talkies hotel employees used to communicate with each other. Barnhart said the photographs were taken without scale, making them unreliable for comparison, but even if a walkietalkie did cause the bruising, it might not have been Jones’. “They never even established that Elwood had a walkie-talkie that day,” Barnhart said.

No direct evidence linked Jones to the crime, and he wasn’t the only hotel employee with a criminal past – one housekeeper had even been arrested on the job a year prior. The hotel had been battling a rash of room robberies, during about half of which Jones wasn’t working. Similar robberies continued after Jones’ arrest. Police didn’t interview many of the hotel guests in person. Rather, they mailed questionnaires a month after the slaying asking guests if they’d seen anything unusual. Several said that someone claiming to be housekeeping tried to enter their locked rooms in the hours before Nathan was killed. During some of those incidents, Jones wasn’t yet working.

to fi nd the true culprit. If they had, she said that evidence might have pointed to a man named Earl Reed. Reed, who has since died, was a felon who lived within walking distance of the hotel and reportedly had friends on the Blue Ash Police force. His wife had been held in the county jail in 1995, during which time she told a fellow inmate that her husband had murdered a woman at a hotel and framed a black man for the crime. Barnhart said that cellmate told police about the hearsay confession back in ’95 but police neither investigated it nor told Jones or his lawyers about it. Jones only learned of the information in 2016, when the cellmate’s daughter sent him a message through the prison email system. Jones’ lawyers have been working for three years to substantiate the story, but Barnhart says the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Offi ce continues to “falsely deny the existence of records” that could substantiate the cellmate’s story. Some of those records Jones’ lawyers have found through third parties. Those continued roadblocks are what, to Barnhart, make that necklace

pendant found in Jones’ toolbox so concerning. There’s little question the pendant came from Nathan’s neck. Its unique geometric design features horizontal staggered bars set atop each other. It’s largely made of gold, while the middle bar is adorned with a few tiny diamonds. It’s a tough piece of evidence to dismiss, Barnhart says, one that Jones has long said was planted. The more work she’s done on the case, the more she says that theory seems plausible. “I get to argue that the police framed my client,” she said. “That’s tough. How do you prove that?” She’s hoping former employees and guests might be able to help. To that end, Barnhart has launched a tip line at 614-469-4150. She asks that anyone with any information about Nathan’s death call. She also hopes to hear from people who remember Earl Reed – a tall, lanky truck driver with red hair who might have hung out at the hotel bar. “We think Elwood was prejudiced, he deserves a new trial,” Barnhart said. “But it would be great if we could get someone else to come forward.”

The Facts About Hearing Loss Hearing loss is one of the most common disabilities in the country, affecting more than 35 million Americans. And it impacts nearly every aspect of their lives: professional, social and personal. Yet, the average person with hearing loss waits a full seven years before seeking help. We’re trying to change that, because effective hearing aids can vastly improve people’s quality of life. Here are the most common myths about hearing LOSS—and the facts: Myth: If I were suffering from hearing loss, my doctor would know.

Fact: Only 15% of physicians routinely screen their adult patients for hearing loss. So unless you bring acute symptoms to your doctor, he/she is unlikely to test your hearing. Myth: For people with hearing loss, everything is equally hard to hear. Fact: This is a common fallacy but completely untrue. A person with hearing loss may have normal hearing in the low tones but severe loss in higher frequencies—the register where women’s and children’s voices tend to be. Some consonants tend to

Hearing Loss and Mental Decline New research has linked hearing loss with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists from John Hopkins School of Medicine and Brandeis University have shown that people over 60 years old who have hearing loss are a greater risk of mental decline. One theory of why hearing loss may cause mental decline is the concept of "cognitive load". That is, the brain can only do so many things at once. When someone with normal hearing is listening to speech in a challenging environment like in background noise, he may not hear every sound in a word or every word in a sentence. The brain can fill in the blanks if it has enough of the speech information. A person with a hearing loss typically hears some speech sounds and misses others. This makes for a much more difficult situation for the brain to handle and increases its work. This

is why people with normal hearing may be able to follow two conversations at once or listen to the TV while listening to other people--a task that is very difficult for those with hearing loss. More frightening are studies that indicate that certain areas of the brain shrink faster when a person has hearing loss. These areas of the brain are very close to those associated with those that are affected with dementia. It may be that when the brain does not receive adequate sound stimulation, the unused neurons shrink--a "use it or lose it" phenomenon. Untreated hearing loss seems to be a much greater health risk than previously thought. Other research has linked hearing loss to increased risk of falling. People with a mild hearing loss are three times more likely to fall than

those with normal hearing. Those with a moderate hearing loss are more than four times more likely to fall. This is of great concern to older Americans. Between 18% and 33% of older hip fracture patients die within 1 year of their fracture and between 25% and 75% of those who are independent before their fracture do not achieve their previous level of independent living within 1 year after their fracture. The good news is that a preliminary study from Washington University School of Medicine indicates that wearing hearing aids improves balance for people with hearing loss.

be harder to hear than others: these include S, T and H. Myth: If I can cope by turning up the volume and having face-to-face conversations, I should. Fact: It’s important to know that coping with hearing loss—even if you do it well—can have negative effects on your professional life, your relationships and your brain. It’s not worth straining to hear or using workarounds. The best solution is to get a hearing checkup and treat any hearing loss.

Hearing is essential to healthy relationships

A 2010 survey found that in marriages where a spouse has a hearing loss both partners suffer. It is frustrating to not be able to be heard and understood. It may seem that your spouse is intentionally ignoring you when she actually can't hear you. This can lead to many relationship problems. Some of the study participants said that the hearing loss had actually made them consider leaving the marriage. This is especially concerning since over one third of people over 65 have significant hearing loss. "The years after 65 are supposed to be some of the best for relationships. Spouses who are empty-nesters should be enjoying each other in retirement activities and enjoying the grandchildren." says Dr. Scott Beall Au.D., the owner of 38 local Miracle-Ear® hearing aid centers.

Try serving a refreshing fruity shrub Master fruit shrub recipe

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Ingredients

The conversation on the subject of shrubs started with gardening expert and friend Ron Wilson. We were chatting about a class at Turner Farms that we were to teach. Along with food, I planned on making shrubs. “What’s a shrub?” He asked. I told him shrubs are refreshing colonial health drinks made with fruit, vinegar and sugar. I don’t think that convinced him. Then Ron tasted the shrubs during class (Chef Stephanie Michalak had melon shrub already made). Fizzy, fruity and just sweet enough, Ron is now all in. He even wants to have a “shrub” party. I told him before that happens, he has to learn to make shrubs. Maybe I’ve peaked your interest too. So for Ron, and you, here’s an easy recipe for making shrubs. First, the history. The word shrub comes from the Arabic sharbah, meaning drink. Drinks made with vinegars date back to ancient times. During the long voyage to America, shrubs were included. Why? The vitamin C content from the fruit prevented scurvy and the vinegar, a fermented liquid, was good for the digestive system. When prohibition was at its height, shrubs became popular substitutes for alcoholic beverages. With the focus today on healthy drinks, shrubs are becoming mainstream. Shrub basics Shrubs are just sweetened fruit-ﬂ avored vinegars. The acid in vinegar preserves the drink, so shrubs can be kept for months refrigerated. Fruit: Most fruits work well, the riper,

Recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc. 2 heaping cups fruit, peeled, chopped or crushed a bit if necessary 2 cups vinegar 1 to 2 cups sugar or to taste Instructions Sterilize glass jar. Heat vinegar in pan to a simmer. You’ll see little bubbles around the edges. Don’t boil. Pour vinegar over fruit in jar, leaving a bit of space. Put lid on. Cool, then place in cool, dark place or refrigerator. I put mine in the refrigerator. Let infuse at least 2 days or as long as you want (a month or more is OK) until desired flavor is reached. Strain fruit for a sparkling looking shrub syrup, or leave in and puree for a thicker syrup.

Shrubs can be made with melon and strawberry. RITA HEIKENFELD/PROVIDED

the better. Fruit doesn’t have to be perfect. Remove any bad spots. Start with a simple one fruit shrub, then experiment with more fruits, spices, etc. Peel, chop, or crush fruit a bit to hasten infusion. I’ve made blueberry and strawberry shrubs. Melon, peach, pineapple, citrus and apple are excellent - you get the picture!

Vinegar: Distilled white for clear, sharp ﬂ avor or apple cider vinegar for mellow ﬂ avor. Rice vinegar works too. How about a splash of balsamic added? Sugar: I use granulated, but raw, brown or honey works. Other ways to use shrubs: Cocktail mixers, salad dressings, over ice cream, etc. Coming soon: Like Decent Deli’s sweet cabbage soup.

Place in pan, add sugar and bring just to a boil. Cool and pour into sterilized container and cap. Store in refrigerator up to 6 months or more. If shrub bubbles, get slimy, etc. toss it. That rarely happens. Serve: Mix a few tablespoons syrup into glass of chilled sparkling or regular water. Taste and add more, if desired.

Sycamore plans to ask voters for $127M bond levy Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Sycamore school board approved a facilities plan last week that will replace two buildings and renovate an elementary school and the high school. The plan will also require a $127.5 million bond levy from voters. The Sycamore Community Schools Board of Education will vote next month to place the bond issue on the November ballot. The proposed levy would fund new facilities to replace E.H. Greene Intermediate and Sycamore Junior High School. It also would fund the $35 mil-

lion renovation to Sycamore High. Symmes Elementary would also be renovated and expanded. The three remaining elementary schools would receive minimal updates. The plan, if approved by voters, would add four preschool sections and accommodations that allow for the possibility of full-day kindergarten in the future. The plan would cost taxpayers an additional $84 per $100,000 of home valuation. For a $300,000 home, the added tax burden would be $252. Construction would begin in 2021 and take up until 2023 to complete, according to a news release from the dis-

Frenchie Fresh in Norwood may have closed its doors, but it’s not going away forever, it’s just moving. The fast-casual Jean-Robert establishment with a French twist is moving to Deerﬁ eld Towne Center in Deerﬁ eld Township after closing its doors in Rookwood. The new location will host a grand opening in July 2019. The Rookwood location’s last days of operation were

over Easter weekend and it is now closed. Frenchie Fresh oﬀ ers a more casual dining option, setting it apart from other Jean-Robert establishments, still with the same taste and fresh quality expected from Jean-Robert. Last year, Enquirer food writer Polly Campbell named Frenchie Fresh as having her favorite burger in Cincinnati.

trict. The district conducted a survey that showed majority support for the plan. Of more than 1,300 participants, more than two-thirds approved replacing E.H. Greene Intermediate and almost 90 percent approved replacing Sycamore Junior High. Grade conﬁ guration would remain the same. “The Board of Education is excited about the approval of this resolution,” said Paul Balent, the school board president, in a statement. “We are thankful for our community’s engagement through this process.” The plan would also dedicate $2.5

East Side commuters awake to new road projects Sheila Vilvens Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The list of area roads impacted by construction on the East Side of Cincinnati continues to grow. Motorists traveling in the area of Salem Road and Hawkstone Drive in Anderson Township can expect traﬃ c delays – which began May 20 – while the Metropolitan Sewer District makes improvements to the Prospect Woods Pump Station. Work is scheduled for the hours of 7

million for a new athletic stadium, though the district says if an additional $2.5 million isn’t raised through private channels, the publicly funded dollars for the stadium would instead be used for renovating the current stadium at Sycamore Junior High. The cost to renovate the stadium is estimated to be $4 million. An estimated $5 million is needed to build a new stadium. Sycamore residents are currently paying on two bond issues, one from 1998 and another from 2010. For more information on Sycamore’s master facility plan, visit the district’s website.

Traffi c headaches faced by people living on the East Side of Cincinnati are becoming commonplace. Lane closures continue on Columbia Parkway as Cincinnati implements eff orts to prevent landslides. The road repaving and bridge work on Interstate-275 between the Combs-Hehl bridge to US 52 is expected to last another year. On Ohio 32, work continues on the additional lane for eastbound traffi c with more work expected. Other projects scheduled or underway this year include: ❚ Resurfacing of Little Dry Run Road from Wolfangel Road to the Village of Newtown, spring and summer of 2019 ❚ Resurfacing of Bridle Run from Little Dry Run to eight Mile, fall of 2019 ❚ Widening of the south side of Mt.

KENWOOD – Zach Sence couldn’t fi nish playing his favorite sport this spring. The Moeller High School junior, however, put that into perspective as he supported his varsity lacrosse team friends, whose season ended May 24 in the Division I regional fi nal. Sence has spent his entire life learning valuable lessons the hard way as he has been dealing with a congenital birth defect in his heart. Sence is having open-heart surgery in June to repair a defect in his aorta called coarctation, in which the aorta narrows and makes it a lot more diffi cult for the heart to pump blood. Left untreated, it can be Sence fatal. It is the fourth heart operation he’s had in his young life. His mother, Beth, said if the operation goes well, he can play lacrosse again and, more importantly, may not need another operation for up to 15 years. Until then, Zach, a junior varsity team member, cheered on his classmates as they cheered him on. “It’s scary but I’m used to dealing with it,” Sence said. “I know the doctors are fantastic and I’m going to be OK.” His mother said he had his fi rst surgery at 18 months. The same doctor, Russel Hirsch at Children’s Hospital, has taken care of him since. Zach took on lacrosse last year at the urging of friends, and immediately grew to love it. He played on Moeller’s top JV team as recently as April before complications from his weakening heart began to sap his energy and forced him to the sidelines. “It kind of stinks that I can’t play but I love being part of the team and being one of the guys, being along for the ride,” he said. “I think they’re there for me more than I am for them. They’re my rock. They’re my brothers.” Sean McGinnis, Moeller’s head varsity coach, said the team values Sence’s presence. “When Zach walked up here tonight, he had that big old smile on his face,” McGinnis said after a playoff win May 21. “He just said ‘Coach, I just got 100 percent on my math fi nal.’ We’re playing in a big game and he’s concerned about school. That’s just great.” Sence, who also golfed for Moeller, won’t play on the course this fall as he recovers, but he enjoys the Moeller brotherhood and the lessons of a Catholic education. “He just embodies what this school is all about,” McGinnis said. “Taking care of others, putting others fi rst. He tries as hard as he can. He’s not the fastest guy, the most athletic guy. But he loves being around his teammates,

The Indian Hill girls track and ﬁ eld team lift up their 2019 team state championship.

Indian Hill, Lakota West top girls track slate Luke Feliciano Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS — The crowd was energized, adrenaline was high, and the pressure was on, but Indian Hill and Lakota East high schools seized the moment. The Braves put on their top performance when it mattered most — on championship Saturday. Indian Hill’s record-setting 4x400 relay time of 39:49.30 from Meghan O'Brien, Ellie Podojil, Elizabeth Whaley and Anna Podojil capped a 43-point outing en route to a Division II team state championship at the OHSAA Track and Field Championships. The time snapped the previous record that dated back to 2010 by .64 seconds. The team’s fi nal race allowed for a 15-point separation between them and the second-place Oakwood. Podojil parlayed strong outings in her preliminary races to become a state champion in the 400-meter dash running a 53.67. She beat out the secondplace fi nisher by 2.54 seconds. Podojil also placed third in the 200-meter run with a 24.43. In Division I, Lakota East girls triumphed, collecting 65 points to win the school’s fi rst team state championship. The Thunderhawks edged out secondplace Mentor by 24 points. The Thunderhawks’ short-distance domination was on display in the 100meter dash. Kaylyn Heath claimed the top spot as a state champion with an 11.93. Closely behind her was teammate Serena Clark, who fi nished as the state runner-up in the event for the second consecutive season. Clark was redeemed later in the day when she took home the fi rst-place medal in the 200-meter dash, running a 24.09. Perhaps Lakota East's top result was the girls 4x100 relay team breaking an event and stadium record that was set seven years ago by running a 45.82. The team featured Dawn Hilton, A'zariyah Bryant, Clark and Heath.

his brothers.” Sence was excited to be with the team against St. Xavier May 24 as the Crusaders played for a spot in the state semifi nals. Moeller lost 11-10. “It’s defi nitely helped me this year in getting through all this stuff ,” Sence said. “My friends have always been there for me. I was always trying to fi nd things to get my heart off my mind. I found that through service.” McGinnis said Sence has taught those lessons to others. “He was playing JV as a junior with a lot of sophomores and freshmen, and he took control as a leader,” McGinnis said. “He showed them what our culture is about, and that sports is more (than) about winning and losing. These guys rallied around him, but he showed them more about being what a teammate is. He’s so close with all our juniors and seniors and they care so much about him. They know he can’t play and they do everything they can to keep him going.” Sence witnessed teammate senior Brendan Sigurdson break two Ohio High School Athletic Association state lacrosse records (career assists, 140, and career points, 306), as well break the school record in career assists. Sence also has learned lessons outside of school as he interns with an agency that helps low-income people

struggling to have basic resources. “My heart disease was like a cakewalk compared to some of the people I saw, because they’re struggling with being a single mother, trying to pay the rent, get the food and basic necessities,” he said. “They had nowhere to turn. I stay humble because I know I have it easy. My parents can aﬀ ord to put me into a great school, put a roof over my head and ﬁ nd the doctors who can help me. I’m blessed with everything I have.”

SCHOOL NEWS Indian Hill High School Latin scholars tour Rome and Bay of Naples From biking the famous Appian Way to exploring the ancient towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum, and tracing the contours of the Amalfi coast on the “Path of the Gods” – Indian Hill High School Latin scholars spent spring break embracing an unparalleled global learning opportunity. Twenty-three Braves recently enjoyed a week-long study trip to Rome and the Bay of Naples. “Students put their study of the language and the ancient world in context as they examined Rome’s most iconic landmarks,” said Indian Hill High School Latin teacher Mark Atwood. “They gained fi rsthand experience of Rome’s transportation system, both ancient and modern, negotiating the city’s metro on foot, and traversing the famous Appian Way on bicycles. It was an experience of a lifetime.” “We really want to thank our parents and the District for allowing us to share with our students the world that long ignited in us a lifelong passion for learning and discovery,” said Indian Hill High School Latin teacher Melissa Burgess. “This trip was beyond anything we could teach within the confi nes of a classroom; our students lived their studies – and that is priceless.” Heather Higdon

The IHHS Latin Club visited the Amalﬁ Coast as part of a week spent in Italy during spring break. PROVIDED

Coach Gartner receives Respect the Game of Life Award from Saint Ursula Academy Saint Ursula Academy surprised retiring SUA swimming coach Ann Gartner ’77 with the Respect the Game of Life Award at the spring school pep rally. This award honors a member of the Saint Ursula Academy community who displays good sportsmanship, ethics and integrity in high school sports and/or co-curricular activities. The recipient does not have to be an SUA athlete. He or she could be a student, coach, parent, an employee or even a person from outside our SUA community.

Saint Ursula chose Gartner for this annual award, saying she is a person who shows great love, dedication, and admiration for SUA athletics as well as an immense love and devotion to the SUA community. She coached the Saint Ursula swim team for 15 years and retired after this year’s winter swimming season. Ann is the recipient of seven (7) GGCL swimming Coach of Year awards. “I have known Coach Ann since I was a freshman at Saint Ursula,” said Saint Ursula Academy President Lelia Keefe Gartner Kramer ’77. “Ann was an incredible athlete and student. She was dedicated to her teams, school, and friends and continues to be so today. I had the pleasure of swimming with the Saint Ursula team this year and witnessed fi rsthand how she coaches with enthusiasm, love for the sport and an unending dedication to each gal she coached, including me!” During the Respect the Game of Life award ceremony at Saint Ursula, the senior swimmers shared some special thoughts about Ann. “Coming into the Aquadawgs as an experienced, but timid and insecure swimmer, I was not sure how high school swimming would impact my life,” said Morgan Hoff man ’19. “After a memorable four years, I can happily and confi dently confi rm that Coach Ann’s caring nature, high expectations, and love for the sport has changed See SCHOOLS, Page 9B

How pilates is helping rehabilitate men and women with motor related issues and muscle dysfunction Developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920’s, Pilates is a mind-body workout

that strengthens the core back and abdominal muscles, improving body conditioning, posture, gait, balance fl exibility and body awareness. Pilates believed that “Change happens through movement and movement heals”, (Return to Life, Joseph Pilates, 1883-1967). This philosophy is still the basis of The Pilates Method that is practiced by over 12 million men and women of all ages worldwide today. Pilates is particularly benefi cial for those that suff er from motor related issues and muscle dysfunction, as is discussed in a recent article in the Wall Street Journal. The article, published December 15, 2018, profi les a gentleman named Ben LeNail, who was affl icted with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). Pilates has been a key element of his exercise regimen, and its repetitive, controlled movements have helped him increase stability, fl exibility and core strength.

The article discusses the fact that as we age, our skeletal muscles become increasingly weak and tight. This was the case with Mr. LeNail, whose muscles had atrophied. As a result of these deteriorating muscles, our the stabilizers that support both our spine and trunk also become weaker, and eventually everyday activities such as standing up straight and walking present a challenge. And the risk of falling increases as well. Pilates is often the best medicine for both age and disease related atrophy. The apparatus known as the Pilates Reformer allows users to perform a series of safe and repetitive, controlled movements using cables and pulleys as well as a sliding carriage and adjustable springs. The reformer eliminates gravity, allowing people to perform the muscle and core strengthening exercises on their back, stomach and sides, while feeling safe and supported. During the exercises, the feet and hands are attached to the reformer’s straps and pulleys, which provides prioprioceptive feedback to the body’s neuromuscular system. As Joseph Pilates once said, “Patience and persistence are vital qualities in the ultimate successful accomplishment of any worthwhile endeavor.” With Pilates, consistency is the key to improvement and long-term change. Cincinnati Sports Club oﬀ ers yearround private and group Pilates Reformer sessions taught by certiﬁ ed Pilates Trainers, with beginning to advanced levels. Classes are open to both members and non-members. Now in its 29th year, and locally owned and operated, Cincinnati Sports Club has grown steadily across 16 sprawling acres at 3950 Red Bank Road in Fairfax, Ohio. It is accessible by three street entrances – at 3950 Red Bank Road, 5535 Murray Avenue and 3939 Virginia Avenue.

the way I look at swimming. She allows every athlete, no matter the skill set, to see herself as equally valuable to team success. Ann gives us the opportunity to positively infl uence one another, which contributes to the team’s visible sisterhood in and out of the natatorium.” Liz Klein ’19 added, “Training with Ann the past four years has taught me more than I could’ve imagined. Ann has taught me the value of support. She is constantly cheering on each swimmer every practice and every meet. She believes in us even during the toughest part of the season, and pushes us to our fullest potential. With Ann’s constant support, she taught us how to believe in ourselves and to never underestimate our ability both in and out of the pool.” Gabby Warren ’19, said “Ann embodies all of the characteristics of a Saint Ursula woman, as a grad herself, while encouraging and pushing us to do the same. She nurtures our growth, and selfl essly leads our team by her example of hard work and appreciation of the sport.” Meredith Moellering ’19 also had some special words to share about Ann, “Not only did Ann coach and support me over the past four years as a high school swimmer, I also had the honor of being one of her swim school students 12 years ago when I fi rst learned to swim. Ann is the reason I grew a love for the sport and it is amazing to watch her spread that love to everyone around her. She has not only helped the team become better swimmers, but she also taught us how to be well-rounded individuals in and out of the water.” The criteria for a Respect the Game of Life nomination for this award is as follows: ❚ The recipient demonstrates a high level of sportsmanship every day. ❚ They understand the importance of high school co-curricular activities as valuable and, as such, it is worthy of respect.

On April 30, Loveland High School (LHS) celebrated ﬁ ve seniors who have committed to join a branch of the U.S. military upon graduation. The second annual LHS Armed Forces Signing Day recognized the following students: ❚ AJ Bailey - National Guard ❚ Aaron Borchers - Army ❚ Mason Funk - Army ❚ Jack Hampton - National Guard ❚ Kian Palmer - National Guard Susanne Quigley

Coffee and conversation with Madeira’s superintendent A group of Madeira residents gathered at Madeira High School (MHS) April 18 for bagels, coff ee, and a conversation about what’s going on in their school district. Madeira Superintendent’s Community Coff ees are held each fall and spring to give people a chance to reconnect with the district. At the recent spring coff ee, Superintendent Kenji Matsudo talked to the group about three MHS students who received perfect scores on the ACT this year, staff retirees and their successors, and the MHS track being closed the month of June for a track replacement. He also recapped the Madeira Schools Foundation’s (MSF) recent annual auction, and announced the 2019 recipients of the MSF Distinguished Awards. Among the attendees were former Madeira staff members – some who are parents and grandparents of Madeira alumni and some who attended Madeira Schools themselves. Any Madeira senior citizens who would like to be added to the mailing list for future coff ees or other district senior citizen events are asked to contact Diane Nichols at dnichols@madeiracityschools.org or 924-3707.

Ruth Bloomfield Margolin, of Westfield, N.J., began constructing crosswords after having an ‘‘I can do that!’’ reaction to a puzzle she solved. It took some time (and a couple of what she calls ‘‘polite rejections’’) before she got her first acceptance. This is now her 10th crossword for The Times. In her nonpuzzling life, Ruth holds leadership positions on several community nonprofit boards and tutors in an adult literacy program. — W.S.
