Drinking on rooftops is oﬃ cially a thing in Loveland

Bishop’s Quarter is located in Loveland. The three-story restaurant and bar features three levels with rooftop dining they call The Landing. The new structure opened in December of 2018 after being rebuilt when a ﬁ re destroyed part of the block in 2017. The restaurant features an extensive list of bourbon, craft beer and wine, plus other specialty drinks. LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER Polly Campbell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Loveland, where the Little Miami bike trail crosses Loveland Avenue, is an outdoor destination for Greater Cincinnatians in the summer. You can bike the trail, which stretches from Cincinnati to Springﬁ eld along the Little Miami River. Or walk a portion of it. You could rent a kayak or canoe to ﬂ oat down the river. Or, you can engage in the latest outdoor sport: lifting a glass in fresh air on a rooftop bar.

Loveland has three new bars on top of buildings, not to mention several other opportunities for eating and drinking outside down on ground level. The main block of buildings on Loveland Avenue near the river suff ered a bad fi re in May of 2017. They have re-opened, and several of them are quite lavish in their refurbishments. Bishop’s Quarter is a three-level bar with a loungey, rich feel. Lots of leather couches and dark wood. Both inside fl oors are full of spots to lounge, whether by a fi replace or at the bar or a table. There’s a menu that’s See ROOFTOPS , Page 2A

Trump tariﬀ s hit local builders, home buyers hard struction, including a $2.8 million house in Hyde Park and three homes elsewhere in the Cincinnati area ranging in price from about $800,000 to $1 million. He said couldn’t even consider building in the entry-level, $250,000-to$350,000 price range because he couldn’t earn enough to cover his expenses. “For a small builder like myself, it’s not possible for me to even consider building in that realm because the material prices are so high,” he said.

Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

In the market for a new home? The Trump administration’s tariff s on building materials may make you reconsider. The average cost to build a new home in Greater Cincinnati has risen by thousands of dollars as a direct result of tariff s imposed by the Trump administration on lumber, steel, aluminum and other building materials. The Trump administration’s tariff of just over 20 percent on Canadian softwood lumber alone has already added between $8,000 to $9,000 to the cost to build a new home in Greater Cincinnati, said Dan Dressman, executive director of the Home Builders Association of Greater Cincinnati. And rising prices on new homes has forced some buyers to look at existing homes instead - forcing prices up on those as well, Realtors interviewed by The Enquirer said.

and remodeling. The tariff increase took eff ect May 10. “Who knows what we’ll be paying for those fi xtures three months or six months from now,’’ said the owner of Homes by Gerbus in Colerain Township. “That comes off the bottom line or translates into increased prices (for home buyers). It just adds an additional burden to the industry.’’ The Trump tariff s on Chinese goods dates back to July 2018. Since then, Andre Frazier, a former Bengals’ linebacker and custom home builder based in Liberty Township, said his construction costs have risen about 15-20 percent on materials alone. “When I’m talking with a client, I have to explain to them that because of the price of materials and the cost of labor...they’re not able to get as much bang for their buck as they once could,” he said. “I have to tell them I can’t provide them with a 7,000-square foot-home for the same price I could a year ago.” So far, the situation hasn’t hurt business for the award-winning Homerama builder who specializes in bigger, more expensive and more profi table homes. Frazier has four homes under con-

Tariffs add thousands to costs A tariff on Canadian lumber, which is widely used by home builders for framing and interior features, is just one example of trade-induced cost increases that have forced builders to either eat the losses or pass the price increases on to customers. Local home builder Alan Gerbus said he was informed by one of his suppliers that the cost of the plumbing and lighting fi xtures he buys from China may be subject to potential price increases. The notice came shortly after President Trump announced early last month that he would increase tariff s from 10 percent to 25 percent on about $200 billion in Chinese goods in retaliation for China’s unfair trade practices. The list includes about $10 billion worth of building materials and fi nished goods from China used for new homes

Tariffs hurt builders and buyers For consumers, that’s likely to mean a continuation of escalating home prices at the low end of the market, where demand has outstripped supply for years. The inventory of homes for sale in the area fell nearly 8 percent in April, compared to the same month last year, according to fi gures from the Greater Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors, Meanwhile, the average home price in Greater Cincinnati jumped to $222,036 in April - up about 3 percent from $215,653 a year earlier. Sticker shock has forced some buyers out of the market for new-construction homes and into the market for already existing homes, bidding up the prices on limited inventory. “I had a couple walk away from a new house because the price they were quoted a year ago was signifi cantly higher when they were ready to close,” said Donna Deaton, a Realtor at RE/MAX Victory in Liberty Township. “They were just told this is how much it costs now. They said “no” and started looking for the best available property in their price range.” Local home builders and buyers throughout Greater Cincinnati may be set for more pain after the president’s latest threat to impose a new 5 percent tariff on all goods imported from Mexico in an eff ort to stem illegal immigration. Mexico is the United States third-

largest trading partner and exports some steel and aluminum used by U.S. home builders. There’s no way to be sure if President Trump will follow through with the tariff s. But even the threat has created a new level of uncertainty and concern that builders will be forced to jack up prices even higher. Still, according to Dressman, the Trump tariff s alone aren’t completely to blame for the hike in construction costs and home prices, Rising costs for labor due to a shortage of skilled tradesmen, high land costs and escalating permit fees have been pushing up new home prices for years and have had a bigger impact on home prices than material costs, Dressman said. Material costs can fl uctuate dramatically and vary too much by project to give a total estimate of how much the tariff s have contributed to the price of a new home in Greater Cincinnati, Dressman said. But the latest fi gures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistic’s producer price index for inputs to construction industries shows prices for building materials are up across the board. Nationwide, the cost of goods used in construction jumped in April at the fastest year-overyear rate since 2011, according to the index, which spiked 6.4 percent over the past 12 months. Earlier this month, the Trump administration agreed to end tariff s imposed last May on steel and aluminum coming from Canada and Mexico, eliminating some of the cost burden on builders. But an increase in tariff s on Mexican and Chinese goods could off set those roll-backs, according to David Logan, a tax and trade expert with the National Association of Home Builders. Logan said just increasing the tariff s on China is the equivalent of a $2.5 billion-a-year tax on the U.S. home-building industry, based on his calculations.

After dropping (the victim) Tillman picked her up and placed her in the wheelchair and continued with his day. Deputies said Tillman Tillman did not tell anyone about the incident and “was aware” she was in pain. The charges state that Tillman “did knowingly refuse to take proper action” after dropping her. Three days later, the victim’s legs were x-rayed due to continued pain. It was discovered that she had two broken femurs, documents said. According to court documents, Tillman admitted that he dropped the victim, but didn’t report it because he was worried about losing his job. Tillman will be in court for a pre-trial hearing on July 19.

Total Quality Logistics, Sibcy Cline and Huﬀ Realtors are large-size Top Workplaces winners Sheila Vilvens Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Every member of a company, no matter their role, likes to believe their contribution is valued. It's a point that's not lost with the three top-ranked largesize Top Workplaces that receive ample praise from their employees.

Total Quality Logistics Total Quality Logistics got its start in 1997 out of a small offi ce in Cincinnati with two employees. Twenty years later, the privately held company headquartered in Union Township, Clermont County, is the second largest freight brokerage fi rm in the United States with over $3.6 billion in annual sales, and over 5,500 employees globally. Along the way, TQL has earned the appreciation of its workers as evidenced by its 10th mention on the Top Workplaces in Cincinnati list. “We take great pride in our Cincinnati roots, so it’s always an honor for us to be recognized as a Top Workplace in our hometown,” TQL president Kerry Byrne said. “The key to our success is always putting people fi rst and that starts with transparency,” he said of the company’s philosophy for employees. “From the job description to the interview, we ensure candidates understand what it takes to be successful at TQL. Once here, we give each employee, through hard work and dedication, the opportunity to create their own career path and defi ne their own success.” In response to a question about why they love their job, TQL employees talked about opportunities for advancement and growth. One employee said that they love "Everything! I love the

culture, the people, the managers! I love the values. I have yet to ﬁ nd something I dislike." TQL is known for the way it celebrates employees. But more important, the employees feel valued. “We believe that every day, at the core, our employees feel valued because they have a voice,” Byrne said. “Whether it be one of the 1,000 submissions our employees give on the Idea Bank annually, an internal portal for suggestions, or our employee-driven community service and charitable giving program.”

Sibcy Cline Realtors Family is one word that aptly describes Sibcy Cline Realtors and its connection to its employees. Founded in the 1930s in Cincinnati, Sibcy Cline is led by the fourth generation Sibcy. Robin Sibcy Sheakley is president. “We are a family business, and we treat employees like family,” she said. That sense of family is mentioned by some employees who explained why they love their job. Sibcy Cline is headquartered in Sycamore Township with 19 oﬃ ces through-

out the Cincinnati region. The company has about 200 employees, 1,100 agents, and lists revenue at $2.37 billion. The company's reach also extends to mortgage, insurance, title, and home services. This is not Sibcy Cline’s fi rst appearance on the Top Workplaces list, which Sheakley called “humbling.” “People and their commitment are what makes any organization great,” she said. “We are fortunate to have great people as employees and independent contractors who are focused on the promotion of homeownership and enjoyment and who love what they do.” Sibcy Cline is the largest real estate company in the area and has earned many honors over the years. The company prides itself on its family-work atmosphere where employees and agents are seen as individuals rather than members of a department or offi ce. The company is also invested in “community.” It raises money yearly for the United Way, Arts Wave, and CultureWorks arts funds. Each offi ce location also has favorite charities they support throughout the year.

Huff Realty Family values, integrity, and results

are the foundation of Huff Realty. It also serves as a winning recipe for Huff 's employees who have helped the company to its fourth mention on the Top Workplaces list. CEO Brad DeVries said that making the list is "affi rmation that the things we work hard on to make this a special place for our employees is working. This is important because who you're with matters." Huff 's workplace culture revolves around fi ve core values: "honesty and integrity;” "mutual respect and caring;" "loyalty in our relationships;" "continual pursuit of excellence;" and "family takes priority." The thanks, DeVries said, for the positive work environment really goes to the employees. It is the sum total of their contributions. They are the reason Huff is a special place to be, he said.

This New Bladder Control Pill May Replace Adult Diapers

Clinical studies show new pill may be effective enough to replace adult diapers for bladder control; initial users show dramatic reduction in trips to the bathroom, embarrassing leaking, and nighttime urgency. Robert Ward, Associated Health Press AHP− Adult diaper sales are expected to plummet as results from a clinical trial on a new, patented bladder control pill have finally been released. Sold under the brand name UriVarx™, the new pill contains key ingredients that keeps the bladder from releasing voluntarily, which reduces accidents and frequent bathroom trips. Perhaps more impressive, it also targets the tiny muscles around the bladder, which helps the bladder to create a tighter seal. This would explain why the average UriVarx™ user in clinical trials experiences a 66% reduction in urinary incontinence symptoms, such as day and night leaking and sudden urges to urinate.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

are

Research shows that as we get older, the muscles which surround the bladder weaken. This is caused by hormonal changes in the body that causes the muscles to atrophy and weaken. When they become too small and weak, they cannot seal your bladder shut, which causes leaking, accidents, among other incontinence symptoms.

What you need to eat in Cincinnati this summer can have the quality of gelato with the atmosphere of a creamy whip at Dojo in Northside.

Polly Campbell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Crickets on a humid night as the temperature cools. A soft-serve ice cream cone melting faster than you can lick it. A picnic table under a shade tree in a park, a view over the hazy city on a day with nothing to do. Summer in Cincinnati can be enchanting. Among the enchantments are the foods of summer: lemonade on a patio, a cold cocktail on a rooftop, endless blueberries for picking, a salad on a restaurant deck strung with lights. Summer's too short and its mood is too indolent to make this into a to-do list, but here are some ways to intensify your summer.

Start with the sippers A slightly spicy margarita called Sweet Heat of Ohio with your tempura cauliﬂ ower or spinach dip on the roof at Tano Bistro in Loveland. Up on the roof is where, according to the song, the world is trouble-proof. There are now so many options for going up above the fray, whether it's one of the new rooftop bars in Loveland, such as Tano or Bishop's Quarter, or Downtown at 21c or The Phelps. Try a Fifty West American Lager. Craft beer has often gone to extremes in hoppiness or darkness. But several local breweries are now making beers that are as light in body as a Bud, but still taste better and are honestly thirstquenching. Fifty West's lager goes down a treat if you've been playing sand volleyball on their court. A grilled-out steak and a bottle of local wine. Grilling out is a sacred rite of summer. Do it at home, or for a diﬀ erent experience, go to steak night at Valley Vineyards or Vinoklet Winery. They provide the steak, the sides, the wine, the grill. You simply grill the steak as you like it.

Freshhhh

WAiting for a cyclone at Flub's in Ross POLLY CAMPBELL/ENQUIRER

Who you callin' chicken? Fried chicken with coleslaw and homemade desserts in a church cafeteria. If you've never been to a fried chicken festival at an Indiana church, you should go sometime. Southeastern Indiana Catholic churches, often visible from miles away, host festivals through the summer and into fall. Some of these festivals serve a ton or so of chicken over a weekend. A literal ton. Check the website Thinking Chicken for places and times. Or take the chicken trail for a long excursion through Indiana on a summer day. It takes you to little cafes and bars and restaurants in small towns. Be sure to hit Wagner's in Oldenburg, where they cook their chicken in lard in castiron pans and make homemade mashed potatoes.

So very Cincinnati Goetta fried rice. There seems to be no end of summer food festivals. Choose between two goetta fests, one in

Covington, one in Newport, where Yat Ka Mein has the Chinese-Cincinnati mash-up on their menu. It is a marvel of inventiveness to see what dishes can be made from our humble signature breakfast meat. If you have a boat, you've won summer. If you don't, do like the tourists do and take a cruise on the Ohio on a B&B Riverboat. They have dinner cruises, lunch cruises, winery cruises, all with a unique view of the area, and at least a little breeze in your hair.

Let's cool it down a bit The salted caramel gelato, one of the many refi ned and perfected gelato fl avors at La Grassa in Madeira. Or, on the other end of the ice cream spectrum, a soft-serve cone from a creamy whip stand, especially if it's dipped in chocolate coating (even though that coating is always more like wax). I tried Flub's for the fi rst time earlier this year. It has an appropriately long list of creations that starts with vanilla or chocolate swirl. Want something of both worlds? You

Fresh green beans, corn, tomatoes and peaches. When driving through the summer countryside, I always swerve for farm stands. I plan many of my summer weeks around which farmers market to try out. The very long-standing market near Lunken airport is good for moderately priced standard crops like tomatoes and corn, and old-fashioned ﬁ nds like half-runners and poke salad (the green, not the raw tuna dish). Others also have all kinds of gourmet and prepared food. Get to the Hyde Park market early on Sunday and have an iced cappuccino and a croissant for breakfast before you shop.

Patio party! Salmon rillettes and a grilled Caesar salad onthe patio of The Birch in Terrace Park. Not every summer day is good for eating out on a restaurant patio, but you're inside all day, why not feel some un-artiﬁ cial air for a bit? I still think the patio at Somm in Price Hill is among the best, as is the beer garden at Kaze in OTR, the biergarten at Mecklenburg's, the little dining garden behind Through the Garden in Blue Ash. And that lovely shaded patio at Birch in Terrace Park, where there are plenty of light things on the menu for a day when it's too hot to eat a lot. Pizza and bocce at Sorrento's in Norwood. New patios this summer include one behind Libby's in Covington, where you can picnic on fried chicken, and behind Delwood in Mount Lookout, where you can take an eating and drinking trip to South America with inspiration from Peruvian ﬂ avors, and Sorrento's, where they revamped the parking, have an outdoor park and a bocce court.

Grill some steak with summer herb, spice rub Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

We spend a lot of our time outdoors in the summer, much like many of you. Whether it’s working in the vegetable or herb gardens, mowing grass, or simply wandering down my old country road for wild edibles, I sometimes lose track of time. That’s when the grill comes to the rescue. Especially for a

steak supper. What I love about the marinade for the steak is its ﬂ exibility. Marinate it for a few minutes, or up to a day. This is the steak I served at the Cincitalia festival for my cooking demonstration a few weeks ago. Even at room temperature, it got rave reviews and more than a few requests for the recipe. So here you go. Oh, and if you’ve got a few veggies lingering in the vegetable bin, check out my grilled vegetable recipe for a super side.

Steak with summer herb and spice rub This steak gets a wet rub before grilling; the oil helps the other flavors spread. Ingredients 11⁄ 2- to 2-lb. flank, flat iron or skirt steak ⁄ 3 cup olive oil

Steak with summer herb and spice rub, and simple grilled vegetables. RITA HEIKENFELD/PROVIDED

Simple grilled vegetables

2 nice cloves garlic, minced Palmful 1 or 2 kinds fresh chopped herbs, minced - thyme, rosemary, savory, parsley, oregano and marjoram are good choices 1 tablespoon or so Canadian/Montreal steak seasoning

No real recipe, but here’s how I do it. Use whatever veggies you like.

Asiago or Romano cheese for garnish (optional)

Suggestions:

Instructions

Zucchini into about 1⁄ 2” slices

For flank and flat iron, score steak on both sides. No need to score skirt steak.

Red, yellow and orange bell peppers, cut into nice wedges

Mix the oil, garlic, herbs and steak seasoning. Rub all over the steak and let marinate in refrigerator anywhere from 30 minutes to a day.

Green onions, leave white part on, trim roots Instructions

For flank and flat iron, grill on medium high until medium doneness 12 to 15 minutes or so, depending upon the thickness of the steak and if you take it straight from the refrigerator.

Brush vegetables with olive oil on both sides. Season with salt and pepper. Grill until tender - they will be a bit charred with grill marks.

I like to turn flank and flat iron a couple of times. The thickest part of the steak will register about 135-140°F.

Meanwhile, whisk together about 1⁄ 3 cup olive oil, 1⁄ 4 cup balsamic vinegar, and a couple cloves minced garlic.

Skirt steak should be grilled on high for just a few minutes and turned just once.

Asparagus spears

As soon as they come off the grill, drizzle the sauce over and season to taste. Gilding the lily: A shower of the same cheese you use on the steak is yummy, too for the vegetables.

Transfer to a cutting board, tent and let rest a bit. Slice across the grain. Give it a sprinkle of Asiago or Romano cheese. Tip: Salt and pepper can be subbed for the Canadian seasoning

Viewpoints Summer break means getting important work done at Loveland City Schools Dr. Amy Crouse Guest Columnist Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK

The days leading up to end-of-school are always busy and full of excitement, and I’m often asked if I look forward to summer vacation. The truth is, while the work over the summer changes, it doesn’t slow down much; it simply means I’m given a couple months to work with my fellow administrators and staff to make our district even better for our Tigers when they return for the new school year in August. This summer we will focus on Building Tiger Nation, continuing to refi ne our options for the most aff ordable way to fund the facility master plan adopted by the Loveland Board of Education in April. The master plan addresses the needs outlined in the building assessments and includes the enhancements described as priorities by our communi-

ty through the many meetings and focus groups we’ve held over the past year. Although we are excited about the plan and moving it forward, it’s critical that we thoroughly vet all funding options as the cost of the master plan will aff ect our taxpayers. We will use the summer months to be diligent in this work - our commitment is to leave no stone unturned until we create the most advantageous funding structure. To this end, we have added two board meetings in late July so we can still make the ballot fi ling deadlines set by the Board of Elections for a November vote. The meetings are scheduled for Monday, July 22 at 9:30 a.m. and Friday, July 26 at 9:30 a.m., and will be open to the public. We will also “deep clean” the buildings after another busy year of activities. As they do every summer, the maintenance staff will be hard at work making repairs and getting our buildings ready for the new school year.

While they do an amazing job with the upkeep, our facilities have reached the point where the cost to maintain over the next 10 years will exceed the cost to upgrade and renovate or, in some cases, rebuild. We appreciate the extensive involvement of our community over the past year as we developed a facility master plan that provides solutions for the many issues with our buildings that stand in the way of providing the best possible experience for our Tigers. On the academic end of our preparations, we will begin to incorporate the themes of the Portrait of a Tiger into our action plans for 2019-20 and beyond. Each school’s improvement plan has been updated and will be implemented to achieve our goals for growth, care and innovation, which are all aligned with the Portrait. Regarding the education at Loveland, all decisions will be focused on how to ensure that every Tiger has the experiences identiﬁ ed as essential by more than 800 students, staﬀ , par-

ents and other community members in the process of creating the Portrait of a Tiger. Last, but certainly not least, teachers and staff will continue to improve their craft by taking classes, participating and leading book studies, and attending and presenting at professional workshops throughout the summer. Our administrative team will complete a long list of interviews with the intention to hire only the best new teachers and staff to serve our students. We look forward to fresh perspectives that align with our mission and contribute to the work we do every day. I will greatly miss the students over the summer, but welcome the opportunity to take a step back, refl ect and plan to bring them even better experiences in the fall. I wish you all a safe summer, making many happy memories. In service to our Tigers, Dr. Amy Crouse, Loveland City School District Superintendent

Our ﬁ nancial future in the Indian Hills Schools: Five-year forecast spring update Mike Davis Guest Columnist Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK

At the Indian Hill Board of Education Meeting Monday, May 20, I presented an update to the District’s fi ve-year fi nancial forecast. Presented twice a year, the forecast is a tool that aligns our income and expenses to our District’s current and future goals with respect to academics, operations, and facilities. This important planning tool is required by the Ohio Department of Education. Within the forecast, we continue to see near-fl at revenue growth (near one percent per year, within the forecasted timeline). One percent per year is well below the rate of infl ation mark. Infl ationary costs aff ect us on the revenue

side, as well as the expense side as things get more expensive over time but we do not see a corresponding increase to match on the revenue side. As I communicated with you in the fall, we are continuing to monitor this as it does cause concern for us into the future. Additionally, Indian Hill receives minimal state education funding – in fact, just a little more than four percent of our revenue is from this source. This is something we do not anticipate ever increasing. The majority of our revenue comes from property tax – more than 90 percent. Additionally, many of our residents may not realize our last operating levy was passed more than 25 years ago, and it was not renewed by the Board of Education in 1998. During this time, our schools have had to absorb funding cuts, changes in tax laws, and inﬂ ationary cost increases. This continues to

strain our district’s ability to maintain current educational services, facilities, and learning opportunities that are key to the mission of our district. We continue to operate from levies passed in the 1980s and earlier with a near-zero infl ationary increase. As we have communicated as part of our year-long district facilities assessment process, our district is absorbing more needed capital improvement projects that come with aging facilities and systems, especially within Indian Hill Middle School. The estimate to maintain the near three football fi elds of fl at roof on that building is $150,000 a year on a 15-year cycle. This year, due to the work of the Facilities Assessment Task Force, along with the District Steering Committee, we have made a decision to fi x only those sections of the roof deemed abso-

lutely critical. This year, that total will run just less than $50,000. Finally, outside the forecast, it is evident that the district did a great job managing the last bond issue and has structured the refi nancing of bonds to achieve taxpayer savings of $8.5 million. That savings for residents comes in the form of reduced millage paid toward the bonds. In addition, a signifi cant share of what residents pay on this bond expired at the end of 2018 – reducing the bond debt from 3.24 mills to 1.45 mills. I will continue to provide you timely updates. I thank you for your continued support of the excellent educational services we provide within the Indian Hill School District. Should you have any questions about our District’s fi nances, please contact me directly.

Here are ﬁ ve signs it’s time to declutter your home Submitted by Evelyn Ritzi/Share

Nobody likes clutter, yet most of us are familiar with the feeling of being overwhelmed by too much “stuff ” in our homes. A survey from the Huffi ngton Post found that 84 percent of people worry that their home isn’t organized or clean enough. Furthermore, 55 percent of that group said clutter was a source of recent stress. Are you overwhelmed by the amount of excess clutter in your home? Here are fi ve signs that it’s time to fi nd a new home for your stuff . 1: You’re constantly misplacing items Have you ever spent hours frantically searching through your belongings for something you need? This could be a sign that clutter has become an obstacle in your life. When you clear out the unnecessary items from your home, it will be easier to organize your most important items.

With less stuﬀ , you can ﬁ nd what you need, when you need it. 2: Your kitchen cabinets won’t stay closed The kitchen is one room that everyone in a household uses, and as a result, it can accumulate clutter quickly. If you have a large collection of souvenir cups, plastic containers, and pots and pans that are taking up too much storage space, it’s time to declutter. Start by taking stock of the kitchen tools, gadgets, and appliances you own. Anything that you don’t use on a regular basis can be removed to help free up more cabinet space. 3: You have too many clothes for your closet If you can’t open your closet without getting buried in a pile of clothes, or you’re running out of hangers and shelf space for your clothes, your closet probably needs a good decluttering session. Maybe you’re holding onto clothing for

sentimental reasons. Or maybe you have clothes that you like, but they just don’t fi t anymore. Letting go of clothing can be diffi cult, but you’ll feel much better when you have enough space for the clothing that you love to wear on a regular basis. 4: Your junk drawer is overfl owing Most families have a drawer designated as a “catch-all” for various odds and ends. But when your junk drawer is overfl owing, it’s time to clear out the clutter. Take everything out of the drawer and place it on the countertop. Sort and organize the items into categories, such as offi ce supplies, important paperwork, and batteries. Find a new place to store these items, such as plastic containers in diff erent sizes. This will help to keep similar items together and ensure they don’t slide back and forth every time you open the drawer.

5: You’re running out of storage space Have you maxed out your home’s storage space? Before you consider remodeling or renting an expensive storage container, try to look for ways to free up the storage space within your current home. Start with large storage areas, such as the garage or attic. Sort through the items in these spaces one by one, setting anything that you no longer use or need aside in a pile to donate.

Rockies reliever from Moeller makes debut Dave Clark Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Colorado Rockies promoted former Moeller High School standout Phillip Diehl on Monday, June 10 from Triple-A Albuquerque, and the left-handed relief pitcher made his Major League Baseball debut in a 10-3 win against the Chicago Cubs on June 11 at Coors Field. Diehl allowed a pair of runs and struck out one in an inning of work. For the ﬁ nal out of the inning, Diehl got a

ﬂ yout to center from former Middletown High School standout Kyle Schwarber. Moeller High School Baseball tweeted June 10 that Diehl’s debut would be the 14th by a Moeller grad, and the Cincinnati Steam tweeted that Diehl is the seventh Steam alumnus to reach the big leagues. The only other former Moeller star currently in MLB is Milwaukee Brewers starter Brent Suter, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery to repair a

torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow. Diehl, a 24-year-old Cincinnati native who was a 27th-round draft pick of the Yankees in June of 2016, did not allow a run in 13 1⁄ 3 innings for Double-A Hartford and posted a 4.50 ERA in 14 innings for the Triple-A Isotopes. Last September - when Diehl was in the Yankees’ organization - he got to pitch to star outﬁ elder Aaron Judge in a sim game, calling it an “unbelievable experience.”

Logan Duncomb continues to have quite the summer. Xavier recently extended a scholarship off er to the Moeller big man. Duncomb announced the off er on Twitter. The local off er from the Musketeers comes just a few days after Duncomb was off ered by Ohio State. He snagged the OSU off er after attending the school's team camp. Duncomb, an incoming junior, jumped right into varsity action last season, starting 28 games for Moeller. The 6-foot-9 center averaged 7.2 points and four rebounds per game and led the Greater Catholic LeagueSouth with 23 blocks. Duncomb scored a season-high 18 points against Elder on Feb. 8 and grabbed six rebounds in the Crusaders' 52-44 victory over Akron St. VincentSt. Mary's in the Division I state championship game. Duncomb was one of two sophomores – along with teammate Alex Williams – to be named second team all-GCL South. Duncomb is Ohio's top-ranked center in the Class of 2021, according to TripleDoubleProspects.com.

COLUMBUS - The Ohio High School Athletic Association announced new region assignments for the upcoming 2019 football season Thursday. Also, the association announced new divisional breakdowns in volleyball, soccer and basketball. In football, no news is good news for Cincinnati-area teams as Region 4 remains unaﬀ ected, as did Region 1 in the Cleveland area. Boys basketball had several changes. Goshen is now Division I right at 362 boys, moving up from Division II. Also by enrollment numbers, BethelTate and Blanchester move to Division II.

Purcell Marian jumps from Division III to II based on competitive balance. Their enrollment is 131 boys, but with competitive balance factors, the working number goes to 254. Competitive balance factors include whether or not a parent resides in a particular school district and if the student comes from a similar educational system (public/private). For instance, an out-of-district student from a diﬀ erent educational system would be weighted higher by the OHSAA. Gamble Montessori goes from Division IV to Division III on enrollment. Noteworthy in Division III is the appearance of Summit Country Day and Taft who drop down from Division II on enrollment numbers. Both schools have made deep tournament runs before. Also, in Division IV, St. Bernard-Elm-

wood Place drops from DIII on enrollment. In girls basketball, Northwest moves to Division I on numbers, while Mount Healthy drops to Division II. North College Hill is up to Division II on enrollment, while Aiken and Taft drop to Division III. Norwood also drops to Division III on competitive balance. Riverview East moves to DIV to DIII on enrollment. Girls soccer has similar changes, particularly at the top with Northwest going Division I and Mount Healthy dropping to Division II. North College Hill goes up to DII. Seven Hills, previously DIII is now DII on competitive balance numbers, while Mariemont and Reading out of the Cincinnati Hills See OHSAA, Page 2B

GLORY DAYS

Local track, ﬁ eld had great run in 1988-89 Mark Schmetzer

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

After forgetting his uniform and spikes on the fi rst day of the 1989 Ohio high school state track-and-fi eld meet, Forest Park’s Calvin Bostic came up with a can’t-miss way to remember his gear the next day. “I slept in my uniform,” he told the Enquirer. “I didn’t want to forget anything. My spikes were with me. I had them with me the whole time.” Bostic’s strategy paid off . He won the 300-meter hurdles and long jump, fi lled the second leg on the championship 400 relay team and fi nished second by one-hundredth of a second in the 110 hurdles while the Lou Cynkar-coached Chargers were successfully defending their Class AA state championship at Ohio Stadium. Forest Park’s accomplishment was just one of several highlights enjoyed by local competitors and teams in 1989, the second year of a glorious two-year Greater Cincinnati run in Columbus. Princeton’s girls team, in Mar Starr’s last year of coaching before retirement, edged Springfi eld South by two points to win the Class AAA state championship while the Vikings boys were fi nishing second to Dayton Dunbar. That remains the only time one school produced a state champion and runnerup in the same year, according to former Princeton coach Ken Meibers. Individually, Cincinnati Academy of Physical Education senior Michelle McGruder became the fi rst girl to win the 100 dash four times. McGruder actually fi nished second in the Class AA race to Cleveland Heights Beaumont’s Richelle Webb, but Webb was disqualifi ed for wearing a watch during the race, a

rule created to keep runners from checking split times during distance races. “I had no idea I would do all this,” said McGruder, who won seven state titles in her career. “I’m glad the pressure is oﬀ now.” During a meet that was plagued by rain and delayed for 27 minutes at one point, Sycamore senior Glenn Terry successfully defended in 1989 his 1988

championships in the 110 high hurdles and 300 intermediate hurdles and overcame the pressure of facing Dunbar star Chris Nelloms. “It’s sweeter the second time because, mentally, it was much rougher,” Terry said. “I could not go a day without people saying ‘Nelloms’ this or ‘Nelloms’ that.” Other boys reaching the top level of the Class AAA award-winners stand was Northwest high jumper Derrick Childs and the Princeton 3,200 relay team of Gordon Benning, Ty Bates, Jason Williams and Joe Cooper. Mt. Healthy sophomore D’Andre Hill won the Class AAA girls 100, but it was Candice Campbell and Shannon Doforth who led Princeton to the team championship. Campbell ran with Tanya Upthegrove, Allyson Rogers and Renee Allen on the ﬁ rst-place 800 relay

team and fi nished fourth in the 200 and third in the long jump. Doforth won the high jump. The championship was the second in two sports for Allen, who played on Princeton’s 1987 Class AAA basketball title-winning team. “After we did not make it up to state in basketball, I decided to run track for the fi rst time and go out in style,” Allen said. “It feels great to win state titles in two sports.” The Vikings overcame exchange problems in the 400 relay to win the 800. “The girls just said, ‘Don’t worry, Mrs. Starr. We’re going to win the 800,’” said Starr, who ran with Wilma Rudolph on the U.S. 400 relay team that fi nished third in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. “They really wanted it. They were trying to make my last few days of teaching memorable. “Coach Meibers felt all season long that the girls could be up in there,” she added. “I’d just keep my fi ngers crossed. I knew we had the talent to do it, but you have to have all of the variables.” CAPE’s Jude Johnson won the Class AA boys 200 dash, but it was Bostic who stole the show while leading Forest Park to a second straight title, the fi rst time a local school won back-to-back championships since old Central High in 1950 and 1951. Forest Park had won the 1988 Class championship led by Clinton Davis and Tony Watson. Davis won both hurdle events, Watson captured the 100 and the two joined David Mathis and J.J. Lampkin to win the 400 relay. Lampkin returned to join Bostic, James Littles and Carlton Gray in defending the 400 relay championship. “We just had kids that did not choke,” Cynkar said. “Some people get up here in the heated competition and choke.” The classifi cations were changed from A-AA-AAA to I-II-III in 1990, the same year Cincinnati’s brief stay at the top of state track ended. The best fi nish was logged by Princeton’s boys, who fi nished second in Division I.

Swimming, boating or skiing ... warm-weather fun often involves the water.

O’dell M. Owens, MD, MPH

Water-based activities come President & CEO with added risks: Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that every day, about 10 people die from unintentional drowning. Children are especially endangered: Drowning is the second most common cause of injury death among children ages 1 to 14; and drownings peak in June and July. Swim lessons can help.The CDC found that participation in formal swim lessons helped reduce drowning risks among toddlers and preschool-aged children. However, certain groups, including African American children, were less likely to have participated in formal swim lessons. To learn more about swim lessons in our region, please call the Cincinnati Recreation Commission at 513-357-POOL (7665) or visit the YMCA of Greater Cincinnati’s MYY.org website. In addition to swim lessons, these strategies can help keep your family safe: • Supervise children around water. Designate a responsible adult to watch children around baths, showers, lakes, rivers, pools and other bodies of water.Teach children that it’s not OK to enter or be around water without supervision. • Wear U.S Coast Guard-approved life jackets.The CDC notes that life jackets should be used regardless of the distance to be traveled, the size e of the boat, or the swimming ability of boaters; and tha at life jackets can reduce risk for weaker swimmers, too. • Use fences and gates to keep p people out of the water. • To prevent head and neck injuries, follow posted rules about jumping and diving.

Cade, Carlie and Corbin Ross proudly display the purchases that were donated to Children’s Hospital in 2018 as a result of money raised at their annual lemonade stand. PROVIDED

Annual Lemonade Stand for Children’s Hospital scheduled for June 22 What started as a summer project for the Ross family has grown to an annual event, raising over $6,200 in donations in the past six years. Bev and Roger Ross and their three children, Carlie, Corbin and Cade start their summer with organizing and advertising the lemonade stand which offers lemonade, a variety of cookies and treats for dogs who accompany any customers. All proceeds go to the cause and donations are greatly appreciated. The original objective of the lemonade stand was to teach the importance of giving back to the community, doing for others and not expecting anything in return. The Ross family learned that although many toys are collected for patients at Children’s Hospital during the holidays, the supply dwindles signiﬁ cantly when summer arrives. So they take it upon themselves to help solve the problem. Once all donations are collected, the family takes a trip to a neighborhood department store to purchase what they know to be both classic picks and the popular “must have” toys of the season. With a carload of new inventory, they schedule a day to deliver their purchases to Children’s where they are stored and distributed as needed.

This year’s “ Treats for Toys” Lemonade Stand is scheduled for Saturday, June 22 from 10 a.m. till 3 p.m., 9613 Delray Drive, Montgomery, Ohio 45242. Rain date (if needed) is Saturday, June 29. This year’s goal is to beat last year’s impressive contribution totaling $1,586 If you are unable to join us on the 22nd, contributions will be accepted by mail. Please send your donation to Bev Ross with “Lemonade stand” on the memo line. Kathy Baker

Giving back: When patients become volunteers Every Friday, patients and staﬀ at OHC Blue Ash (Oncology Hematology Care) will see a plate of cookies and the three smiling faces of Betty Romito, Rick Abraham and Sherry Goodin. Sherry and Rick are former OHC patients, and Betty is the cookie chef and mom to Anita Logsdon, an OHC treatment suite nurse. Here, they explain why they decided to volunteer and the satisfaction of giving back. How did you come to know OHC? Betty: My daughter works here and one day she said, “Mom, you’re coming with me to volunteer,” and I said, “Okay!” I’m glad because I love it! Sherry: I was diagnosed with cancer about four years ago and came here for treatment. I saw Betty volunteering and she became my inspiration. I thought, “When I get better, I’m going to come back and volunteer like Betty!” Rick: I too was a patient here and am now a I’m a cancer survivor. (Rick proudly displays a Cancer Survivor button on his vest.) The nurses were so good to me so I wanted to give back for everything they did for me. How was your experience as a patient?

PROVIDED

Sherry: I was treated so good. That’s why I wanted to give back. When I was told I had cancer, my world halted. Everyone here helped me keep my head up and stay positive through two rounds of it. Rick: The nurses were so good to me, and gave me a real sense of hope and strength. I wanted to try to instill that same feeling in others going through the same thing. It’s important to stay positive. Why did you decide to volunteer at OHC Blue Ash? Betty: As I said, I didn’t really decide! My daughter told me! (Sherry and Rick laugh in agreement.) But I see the patients and I think about what they’re going through, and yet they’re in such good spirits. My favorite thing is to make cookies and bring them every Friday for the patients and the staff . (On this particular day, Betty also brought a cake to celebrate Rick’s 74th birthday.) One lady told me how much her husband loved my peanut butter cookies, so I always made some for him. Sherry: I wanted to help the patients stay positive. I remember one lady who had the driest sense of humor. She always brought a white tumbler with a large purple “S” on it. So, one day I told her I was going to steal it for myself since we both have fi rst names that start with the letter “S”. And she laughed! At her last treatment, she brought me a tumbler just like hers. I still have it. It’s sitting on my kitchen counter, and every time I look at it, I think of her and smile.

The Facts About Hearing Loss ADVERTISEMENT

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. "Every day we see the stress that hearing loss causes in the family; from hurt feelings, to feelings of inadequacy, to deep fears about mental decline. The intimacy that should be there in a marriage just erodes away. It doesn't have to be this way. When we address the problem with proper hearing solutions, their lives just light up. That's why we say that we help people 'Listen to Life' again."

Montessori School honors retiring secretary Parents, staff and students at The Good Shepherd Catholic Montessori honored retiring school secretary, Nancy Toon of Mt. Lookout with a tree planted in her honor on the school grounds. Toon is retiring after 15 years as the Madison Place school’s secretary/offi ce manager. As described in a tribute written by GSCM’s business manager Lynette Rosati-Shim, “Nancy is so much more than the school secretary - she also acts as the nurse, wiper of children’s tears, fi nder of lost items, fi xer of the copier, and institutional memory, among many other things. She greets each person that enters the school offi ce with a smile while juggling ringing phones and door security systems and has the patience of Job.”

Seth A. Abel is a lawyer based in Columbus, Ohio, who works in commercial and industrial real estate. He has been making crosswords since 2003, often with themes involving gags. He thought of this one in 2008 and kept tweaking it over the years — ‘‘which has to be a record for incubation time for me,’’ he says. The title (above) was his starting point. This is Seth’s 13th crossword for The Times. — W.S.
