MADEIRA'S OLDEST STRUCTURE? Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The owner of a former school that state historians say is the oldest structure in Madeira is working to save the 180-year-old stone building before it deteriorates beyond repair or is felled by a wrecking ball. Ken Cummings and his wife bought the property at 7137 Shawnee Run Road for $160,000 in 2006. The couple wanted its nearly half-acre of land, so they could use it to add 10 to 15 feet of footage to their adjacent rental property should they decide in the future to build on the rental property. They ﬁ gured they’d need more land to meet building codes. “We had heard it was an old school house, just in need of some love,” Ken Cummings said.

School declared 'teardown' “Over the years, being a historic property idea never entered our minds. At closing it was declared a teardown.” But after 13 years of exploring and researching the building constructed in 1839, preserving it has become a labor of love for Cummings. He and his wife live across the street from the former school, which was being used as a home before they bought it. Ken Cummings has spent a lot of time cleaning up the interior and clearing the grounds. He’s taken down walls to uncover blackboards. He’s taken up carpet to reveal oak ﬂ oors. “I removed a lot of red wallpaper, assorted ceilings, boards, walls and cracked plaster,” Cummings said. He keeps the former school’s eight windows – which stretch nearly ﬂ oor-to-14-foot-tall ceiling -

Every house has a story. But few have the provenance of the 1920s Dutch Colonial at 1254 Grace Ave. in Mount Lookout that claims piano virtuoso Liberace as one of its most famous guests. Liberace’s signed and dated handdrawn image of a piano and candelabra on a basement wall conﬁ rms the home’s glitzy past, and the former owner’s Hollywood connections. Walter Johnson, who Liberace owned the three-bedroom, four-bathroom house until he died in 1999, also owned Trivet’s Antiques and Boutique at 917 Race St. Downtown. The eclectic antique store had a loyal celebrity following, including such megastars as Elvis Presley and Bette Davis. Many of those celebrities, including Liberace, were frequent guests at Johnson’s house and reportedly carried oﬀ truckloads of items from his antique store specializing in memorabilia from the 1960s and 1970s. “The house has an incredible history. We were originally drawn to it by the history and all the character it has,” said current owner Lindsey O’Connell, referring to her husband Kiley. The couple is ready to move on and listed the house for sale in July for $575,000. Since then, streams of potential buyers have toured the home and viewed Liberace’s signature, which is preserved behind a Plexiglas shield. But perhaps the most jaw-dropping See HOUSE, Page 2A

squeaky clean to coax in the sunshine. In the yard, Cummings unearthed a well buried in years of fallen leaves and planted fl owers. The site is atop a hill commanding views fi ve miles out, he says. But Cummings says he is 72 and can’t continue to maintain the property. He’d like to sell it but said he would need to confer with experts before naming a price. The fi nished square footage of the property totals 1,380, which includes the former school and an addition built onto the rear for a kitchen, bathroom and second-story sleeping quarters.

You can weigh in on the possible Hamilton County sales tax hike Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

As Hamilton County’s government struggles to pay its bills, the three county commissioners are considering a sales tax hike. You can have your say at three public meetings in October. The tax hike would take the form of continuing a 0.25% sales tax set to expire in April 2020. Voters approved the tax in 2014 to pay for the $230 million in renovations to Union Terminal with the idea it would expire in 2020 fi ve years after it went into eff ect. If the commissioners decide to keep the 0.25% sales tax, Hamilton County’s sales tax rate would remain at 7%. County offi cials project a $20 million budget shortfall for next year as a result of rising costs and decreased revenue from the state.

To pay for that, county staﬀ has proposed keeping the 0.25% tax on the rolls indeﬁ nitely after April 2020. The Hamilton County Board of Commissioners will decide by the end of October whether to increase the tax as part of Hamilton County’s $276 million budget. The three public meetings the county commissioners will hold on the sales tax will be: Thursday, Oct. 3 Time: 6:30 p.m. Where: Sharonville Convention Center, 11355 Chester Road, Sharonville Tuesday, Oct. 8 Time: 6:30 p.m. Where: Silverton Town Hall, 6943 Montgomery Road, Silverton Thursday, Oct. 10 Time: 1:15 p.m. Where: Hamilton County Administration Building, 138 East Court Street, Room 605, Cincinnati

Should some council seats be elected by district? City may see a vote Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A group of city residents — three of whom ran for council and lost — want to change the way Cincinnati elects its city council. They’re pitching the idea to end the city’s system in which all nine council members are elected at-large (citywide) in the city of 300,000 people. They’ve drafted a plan in which fi ve members would be elected by district, with the remaining four elected at large. That system, they say, would better serve Cincinnati’s 52 neighborhoods, especially some that are often overlooked. If the group is successful in gathering 6,000 signatures needed to put the charter amendment idea to voters, it could come to a vote in March. Under the plan terms would remain two years and the new system would take eff ect in 2021. Those pitching the idea: Henry Frondorf, a Charterite, Tamie Sullivan, who describes herself as a moderate, Pastor Lesley Jones, a Democrat, and Matt Woods, a Charterite. They’re calling the plan “Fair Cincy.” “We’re doing this because we need change, and creating districts provides an opportunity for better representation in terms of geography and diversity, while also improving political debate, accountability and voter engagement,” Frondorf said. Frondorf, Sullivan and Jones all ran for council in 2017 as fi rst-time candidates, but lost. Jones and Sullivan are mulling 2021 council runs. Frondorf said he is not. Most big cities use such a system. In Cleveland, all council members are elected by district. In 2015, a 24-member Charter Review Task Force looked at the idea, but stopped short of recommending the city move to this system. Then, last year council looked at the length of council terms, debating whether to keep four-year terms or return to two-year terms, which ended in 2013. They put both two-year and four-year terms to voters, with voters approving a return to two-year terms. Under the district plan, terms would be two years. Council’s nine members have been elected at-large since 1935. Before that the city had 32 council members: six atlarge, 26 tied to wards. Among the advantages of at-large districts: ❚ Members represent everyone in the city, not just a few. ❚ There aren’t battles over how to draw district lines. ❚ Voters can choose from a broader base of candidates. Advantages of district elections: ❚ More attention to neighborhood concerns. ❚ An easier path for new candidates. The current nine members hail from Over-the-Rhine, East Walnut Hills, Hyde Park, Clifton, Camp Washington, Mount Washinton, and three from North Avondale. New candidates have a tough time running at large. A candidate might be active in their community, but not known elsewhere. As a result most candidates need $100,000 to run a city-wide campaign in which they’re working to garner at least 22,000 votes. Under the group’s proposed district system primaries would be fi eld races for each seat, with the top two moving on to the general election. Every voter would get a chance to elect fi ve members — the four at-large candidates and a person to represent their district. The group has drawn fi ve districts based on census tracts. Each would have roughly 60,000 residents, with three of the districts having a majority African American population. Only two neighborhoods are divided, Westwood and

December 2019: Get city ballot language approval Petition language: Measure to create districts to elect 5 of 9 Cincinnati City Council Members. This measure would require the election of fi ve City Council members by district and four from the City at-large. District residency must be established 120 days before candidate fi ling. Every decade a commission would re-draw districts to bring the smallest districts population within fi ve percent of the largest. AtLarge council candidates must select which seat they will run for at candidate fi ling. A primary election would narrow candidates down to 2 each per district and 2 each per at-large seat. District seats and all 4 at-large seats would then hold head-to-head elections. Council elections will continue to be non-partisan. Council members elected via district or at-large would serve 2-year terms. Term limits will be 4 terms combined for district and or at-large council seats. This measure would take eff ect for the 2021 election cycle. The City Council electoral districts are designated on the map appended to this charter amendment and made part hereof. The City Council districts are defi ned below by tract numbers which all or partially fall within the Incorporated limits of the City of Cincinnati promulgated by the U.S. Bureau of the Census for the 2010 Census, and by neighborhood as defi ned by the 2010 Cincinnati Statistical Neighborhood Approximations found on the City of Cincinnati’s website. These districts comprehensively include all incorporated territory of the City of Cincinnati. How Cincinnati voters chose council in the past Up until 1925: there were 32 members of council: 6 at-large, 26 from wards. 1925: The city goes to 9 members, all at-large. Council chooses the mayor out of the nine who were elected. People vote for the fi rst through ninth choice. The city manager holds most of the power. 1955: The city ditches ranking choices. The top nine vote-getters get elected. 1987: Instead of council choosing the mayor, the top vote-getter becomes mayor. 1999: City voters approve a stronger mayor system. (Council districts had been part of the initiative, but the idea was dropped before it went to the ballot for approval.) 2001: Charlie Luken elected the fi rst mayor under the new system. 2012: City voters approve 4-year terms, to start in 2013. 2018: City voters approve a return to 2-year terms, to start in 2021.

business and school community. “It could become a great park, holding events, picnics or ﬁ eld trips,” Cummings said. “Some sort of plan needs to be developed in order for this piece of history to survive.” Cummings said he’s contacted the city of Madeira, the Madeira City Schools and the Madeira Historical Society to see if they are interested in taking on the former school. Money seems to be the sticking point, he said. Doug Oppenheimer, president of the Madeira Historical Society, says the former school “has a signiﬁ cant historical value.” “I personally would like to see the building preserved and made available for the public to view,” Oppenheimer said. “Ken needs help and would like to have someone or an organization assume ownership and responsibility.

Historical society doesn't have the resources “The Madeira Historical Society has not had the fi nancial resources or people resources to assume the responsibility of the building,” Oppenheimer said. Madeira City Manager Tom Moeller said he has spoken to Cummings a couple times about the former school. “At this time, the city council has had no discussions about what might be done with the property,” Moeller said. School offi cials could not be reached for comment.

been used as a school and a residence. The form says the school was constructed by Oliver Jones, the son of early settler John Jones, on land acquired from Oliver Jones’ sister, Rebecca Jones McCullum. Oppenheimer and Ken Cummings said some people called the school the

McCullum School. They said it was used as a church for a time in the mid-1800s. The former school is not listed on the National Register of Historic Places or part of an established local historic district. “Recording in the Ohio Historic In-

ventory does not provide any speciﬁ c protection for the property,” Savannah Johnson, spokeswoman for the Ohio History Connection in Columbus, said. “The inventory is base-level documentation recording historic properties within an area, meant to serve as a planning tool."

A lifetime vaccine against ﬂ u? Cincinnati ﬁ rm’s working on it Anne Saker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Another fl u season approaches in North America, and Americans are getting the nudge for a fl u shot, crossing their fi ngers for a good match against the virus. But a new local company believes it will soon produce a better weapon against fl u – a universal vaccine that will last a lifetime. “Our goal is to change the world,” said Joseph Hernandez, chief executive offi cer of Blue Water Vaccines. Human testing on the company’s universal vaccine is planned within 18 to 24 months, he said, “then we’ll know if we truly have the revolution on our hands.” If the vision comes to pass, the cool-weather ritual of the annual fl u shot will end, Hernandez said, perhaps as soon as fi ve years from now. This spring and summer, Blue Water Vaccines raised $7 million through the seed-capital fund CincyTech to launch the human trials for the one and done vaccine, a product developed at the University of Oxford in England. Hernandez wants to covert the old Norwood Baptist Church into the company’s base, with a research facility at Oxford. Blue Water is not alone. Dozens of companies around the world are working on a universal fl u vaccine. One developed at the National Institutes of Health is now in human testing. The idea for the Blue Water Vaccines product was born when Oxford theoretical epidemiologist Sunetra Gupta became curious about why infl uenza strains change every year. In studying the mathematics of that variability, she discovered that only a portion of the fl u virus changes from year to year, and another portion of the virus doesn’t. Current vaccines target the portion of the fl u vaccine that varies from year to year, which is why a diff erent vaccine is needed every season. A vaccine that can target the stable portion could protect the human body universally from all strains of fl u for life. In 2007, Gupta published a paper on her theory. In 2018, Oxford virologist Craig Thompson showed in laboratory research that the theory was true. That work generated another advance: The new product

Oxford theoretical epidemiologist Sunetra Gupta thinks of a virus like pieces of a wardrobe. The immune system reacts to the colors of the pieces. Some viruses, like measles, have monochromatic wardrobes, so once you get measles, the immune system recognizes future exposures as the same “color” and can resist the virus. Flu’s wardrobe has many colors, but Gupta found the parts with the same colors. Create a vaccine that “sees” those colors, and you create an immunity to all strains of flu. PROVIDED

can be made using the E. coli bacteria. Current vaccines are made in millions of chicken eggs, a problem for people allergic to eggs. Hernandez is a virus scientist and has worked for biotech companies large and small. He told The Enquirer he followed the Oxford ﬂ u research then went to England to meet the scientists and discuss commercialization. Hernandez knew about CincyTech from work in an earlier startup, and he stayed in touch with the fund’s chief executive oﬃ cer, Mike Venerable. “About six months ago, I called Mike and said I had an opportunity that might be of interest and I wanted to base it in Cincinnati. Mike said ‘we’re all over it.’ ” Cincinnati appealed to Hernandez because he has family in Blue Ash, and, “There’s something about the

Midwestern culture, the old-fashioned ethics morality, that I really appreciate.” A universal fl u vaccine would constitute a major victory over a wily opponent, a virus that triggers a contagious disease that has long eluded eff orts at Gupta control. A century ago, an estimated 21 million people around the world died in the 1918 Spanish fl u epidemic. Flu vaccines were invented in the 1930s, and the U.S. military was vaccinating troops by 1938. Yet year after year, even with vaccination and even in mild seasons, fl u kills adults and children around the world and costs millions of lost work hours. Two years ago, a worse-then-usual fl u season in the United States killed nearly 200 children. Last fl u season, the seasonal fl u shot was about 30 percent eff ective against all strains – better than nothing, but not great. Public health authorities urge everyone 6 months old and up to get a fl u shot, not just to guard personal health but to create “herd immunity” within the society to protect those who can’t receive fl u shots because of health complications. Herd immunity works best when at least 90 percent of a population gets vaccinated. But the United States isn’t even close, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In Ohio, only about 43 percent of the population gets fl u shots. In Kentucky, it’s 44 percent. The only state that cracks 50 percent, and only by a fraction, is Rhode Island. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, told a July gathering of journalists in Washington about the development of a potential universal fl u vaccine. “We’re ultimately going to get it seven to 10 years from now. We’ll have some form of one. It may not be the perfect one yet.” Hernandez said his optimism about a universal fl u vaccine is refl ected in the name of the company. “I love boats and the ocean, and blue water is kind of the unknown,” he said. “When you’re in blue water, you’re in the middle of nowhere. We’re in blue water now, and we’re trying to get home.”

Cincinnati Public Schools receives ‘D’ in state report card Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati Public Schools received a D overall grade on its report card released Sept. 12 by the Ohio Department of Education, the same grade it received last year. Cincinnati is among 11 school districts that received a D in Hamilton, Warren, Butler and Clermont counties. Five area districts received A’s: Madeira, Mariemont, Wyoming, Indian Hill and Mason. Thirty-one of 608 districts statewide earned the top grade. The overall grade reﬂ ects a district’s performance in six categories: achievement on state tests, student improvement on testing, success in closing achievement gaps in vulnerable student populations, improving struggling readers’ results, graduation rate and college and career readiness. Cincinnati Public performed best in closing achievement gaps for vulnerable students, earning a B. That’s an improvement from last year when it received an F. Eighteen schools within CPS improved in the category, the district said in a release, calling it the most notable achievement. “Results like this do not happen by accident,” said Superintendent Laura Mitchell in a statement. “They are the result of a lot of planning, commitment from teachers and staﬀ , and a laser-like focus on student achievement.” But the district didn’t improve in all areas. It received F’s in graduation rate, college and career readiness and test improvement. The four-year graduation rate in the district, about 78%, is worse than state-

wide averages and those in similar districts, according to the state data. Clark Montessori, School for Creative and Performing Arts and Walnut Hills received A grades in the graduation category, but nine other city high schools received a D or F. Individual schools within districts also received an overall grade rating. Two Cincinnati Public schools received an A: Evanston Academy Elementary and Walnut Hills High. Five schools received B’s. Nineteen schools received C’s, the same number that received D’s. Twelve schools received F’s. Stacey Hill-Simmons, the principal of Evanston Elementary, said by phone that the school’s success was due in part to a focus on student data. Last year, Evanston received a B. “We sell hope,” she said while also commending the work of educators in the building, located at 1835 Fairfax Ave. Some believe that state report cards are not a reliable indicator of school success. Adam Voight, the director of Cleveland State University’s Center for Urban Education, said in a statement that grades and other performance indicators are “much better measures of the types of students schools serve. Schools with more disadvantaged (for example by poverty or disability) students perform worse, and this has little to do with anything happening in the school.” The current measures “fuel a vicious cycle” where schools with more disadvantaged students “look bad in the public eye,” Voight added. State sens. Teresa Fedor of Toledo and Tina Maharath of Columbus, both Democrats, called for overhauling the state report card system on Thursday.

First implemented in 2013, the school report cards “penalize large and highpoverty districts, which they threaten with state takeovers,” Fedor said in a statement. “...The legislature has the power to ﬁ x these mistakes, and we need to do that immediately.” Cincinnati Public’s performance index score, which measures districts’ performance on state testing in the third grade through high school, did show improvement in some areas. Eight schools earned B’s. Tat’s the highest number of CPS schools to earn a B or better in the past ﬁ ve years. Three

schools earned C’s, the same number as last year. Forty-fi ve schools earn D’s or F’s, slightly higher than the fi ve-year average. Two districts in Southwest Ohio earned A’s on their performance index: Madeira and Indian Hill. Thirty-fi ve districts in the local area earned B’s or C’s, and 34 earned D’s or F’s. Across the state, more than half of schools increased their performance index scores, and the four-year graduation rate reached a new high in 2018: 85.3%.

Go nuts in the kitchen with honey-roasted almonds Country fair kettle cinnamon pecans

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Yummy out of hand, as a salad or pumpkin pie garnish.

I had a somewhat desperate message on my phone machine from a reader who needed my recipe for honey-roasted almonds. “I can’t remember if you shared them in a class or in the paper. I’m having a party this coming Saturday and can’t fi nd my recipe!” “No worries,” I told her. That recipe has made the rounds both in print, my cable show and in classes and it’s front and center in my recipe hall of fame fi le so it’s always easy to fi nd. If you’ve never made these, try them. I think you’ll like the honey-roasted almonds so much that they’ll become a favorite at your house, too. I’m also sharing a recipe for country fair pecans. These are the ones you see being cooked in large kettles at fall fairs. Nuts are a perfect snack or light appetizer. Plus they can be made ahead. So you have my permission to, yes, go nuts in the kitchen!

Tip: Squirrel nuts away for holiday cooking Nuts should go on sale soon. Stock up and freeze for longer storage.

Cinnamon is a bark! ❚ Cinnamon comes from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum tree. ❚ Two popular varieties are Cassia/ Chinese cinnamon and Ceylon/Sri Lankan cinnamon. ❚ Most cinnamon sold in the U.S. is the cassia variety. ❚ Ceylon is slightly sweeter, more reﬁ ned, more expensive and a bit harder to ﬁ nd.

Ingredients 3 cups or a little more pecan halves, roasted (see above) ⁄ 3 cup evaporated milk

1 cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons water 1 teaspoon vanilla ⁄ 4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions Bring milk, sugar, water, vanilla and cinnamon to a gentle boil allowing sugar to dissolve. Add nuts and continue to cook until nuts are completely sugared with no syrup left. Pour onto sprayed cookie sheet. Let cool and break up. Store at room temperature, covered, up to 3 weeks.

Viewpoints Reduce food waste and help the planet Lauren Stanula Guest Columnist Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK

While perusing produce at the grocery store, you catch sight of a mountain of avocados. Now craving guacamole, you grab a few hoping they will ripen soon, as well as tomatoes, onions and fresh cilantro. Upon returning home, you fi nd space for everything in your fridge (discovering you already had tomatoes) and set the avocados on the counter to ripen. A few days later, you notice, while sifting through leftovers, that the cilantro has spoiled. Disappointed, you toss the slimy, brown mess in the trash with plans to pick up more later. Before you know it, a week passes and you realize you forgot about the avocados for a few days. With fi ngers crossed, you pick one up, hold your breath and, as you squeeze, the fl esh collapses under your fi ngers. With a heavy heart, you toss the overripe avo-

cados in the garbage. Research from the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) has shown that 40% of the food grown for human consumption in the United States is never eaten. That means 4 out of every 10 edible items in your grocery cart will end up in the garbage. This is known as "food waste." Consumer behaviors such as impulse purchasing, improper food storage and not consuming leftovers have been identifi ed as the largest contributors to this issue. This sounds fi rst and foremost like a waste of money, but these behaviors also have a negative impact on the environment. When food waste is discarded, transportation to a landfi ll creates carbon dioxide pollution through fuel emissions. The waste is then buried at the landfi ll, where its decomposition creates methane, a greenhouse gas even more harmful to the environment than carbon dioxide. When compared with greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, a report by the NRDC showed food waste in the U.S. produces as much greenhouse gas emissions as 37 million vehicles annu-

ally. According to the Ohio-KentuckyIndiana Regional Council of Governments' 2016 report, this is approximately the same number of cars carried across the Interstate 71/75 Brent Spence Bridge over eight months. There are ways to address this issue. Planning meals; taking inventory of refrigerator and pantry items; and strictly adhering to a grocery list while shopping are good habits that reduce consumer food waste. Additionally, properly storing food and recognizing when it may be nearing the end of freshness can reduce food waste at home drastically. Of course, sometimes food goes bad despite our best eﬀ orts (looking at you, avocados). There is a solution for this, as well, and it’s something anyone can do: home composting. This is a centuriesold practice that converts the nutrients in decaying organic matter into a valuable soil supplement. By composting these items instead of discarding them, food that is no longer safe for human consumption can be “recycled” to beneﬁ t your garden or house plants. In Cincinnati, a local service called Better Bin Compost Co. provides curb-

side food waste pick up in residential areas. Additionally, the Hamilton County Recycling and Solid Waste District holds educational seminars on home composting (indoor and outdoor) throughout the spring at locations across the city. Participants leave with a countertop compost pail and the knowledge required to start their own home compost project. Two years ago, I started addressing my food waste behaviors and shortly after began composting in my one-bedroom apartment. It takes some commitment, but if I can do it, so can you. Even if you don’t end up composting, having good shopping habits at the grocery store is a great way to reduce food waste and help the planet. Changing habits can be diffi cult at fi rst, but I encourage you to ask yourself this simple question next time you are tempted in the produce aisle: “Are you gonna eat that?” Lauren Stanula of Columbia Tusculum is studying solutions to consumerlevel food waste production through the Project Dragonfl y graduate program at Miami University.

Top three questions to ask your ﬁ nancial adviser Erin Savage-Weaver Guest Columnist Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK

A fi rst meeting with a certifi ed fi nancial planner should be the beginning of a long, trusted relationship. And relationships are always improved by regular, honest communication. While all questions are essentially important, some provide more clarity than others. Here’s the top three most important questions new clients should always ask their fi nancial planners – especially if they’ve never worked with one before. ❚ What’s a fi duciary, and are you one? A fi duciary works in a client’s best interest, even if it’s detrimental to the fi rm. This is where hiring an independent fi nancial advisory fi rm not tied to brand insurance or investment products can be benefi cial. People who go to a car dealer expect the dealer to pitch one of her dealer-

ship’s cars. This is comparable to the fi nancial advising industry’s “suitability standard,” which means a fi nancial product or service may be suitable for you. Contrast that with the industry’s more stringent “fi duciary standard.” What if that salesperson knew a competing dealer with the absolutely perfect car for you – features, a lower price, plus higher gas mileage? If she’s a fi duciary, she’d send you to the other dealership, because that would be the best car deal for you – even if it meant she wouldn’t get the commission. Ask your fi nancial advisor if he or she will sell you investments, insurance or other fi nancial products from any company, or if there is a list you are required to purchase from. Independent fi nancial advisors shop the market or search the neighborhood for the best products that fi t your specifi c objectives. ❚ What should my fi nancial objectives be? Time is a river we all swim in; each day workers move continuously into the next stage of their careers and wealthbuilding lives. Financial objectives

should consider not only the stage you’re in, but the stage you’re moving toward. Early-career workers may focus on debt elimination, cash fl ow, saving for a home down- payment or retirement, as well as planning for the next three to fi ve years. Mid-career clients are usually concerned with family obligations, home improvement and possibly college planning. In late-stage career, questions often center on retirement. Our fi rm also addresses how retirement aff ects a client emotionally in addition to the earliest they can stop working and remain fi nancially secure. ❚ How is your fi rm compensated? This is a simple, yet highly-important question. There are multiple payment options. Fees can be charged on a comprehensive asset-under-management fee ranging from one-to-two percent per year to actively manage an investment portfolio. That model usually includes fi nancial planning. Clients can also pay on a commission-only basis on the pur-

chase of investment or insurance products. Some fi nancial advisors charge an hourly advisory fee. Tied into fees will be an expectation of how often to meet with your advisor. Typically, the complexity and urgency of a client’s needs and objectives dictate meeting frequency. Remember: workers of all ages benefi t from having a conversation with a certifi ed fi nancial planner. He or she will help you get on the right fi nancial path.

Removing unruly students from classroom doesn’t ﬁ x behavior John Banchy Guest Columnist Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK

Ryan constantly exhibits unruly behavior while his teacher tries to maintain an environment conducive to learning in a class of 20 young students. Susan is typically deﬁ ant every Monday morning in math class. Eric constantly annoys his teacher until he is removed from the classroom. But it’s only part of the story. It turns out Ryan has an undiagnosed mental health condition. He consistently engages in bad behavior to avoid the coursework that frustrates him. Susan is in a single-parent home and she watches both her young siblings all day and night, every weekend, while her mom is working two jobs. She returns to

school on Monday beyond fatigued. Eric is embarrassed that he can’t understand his school work and feels relieved when separated from the class. These are real scenarios for some of our kids at The Children’s Home. They are three stories out of the 11,000 children and families we help every year. In the American public school system, the current model for students exhibiting behaviors like these is to suspend the child from the classroom for days or even weeks. Suspension and expulsion from class has often been looked to as a form of discipline for undesirable classroom behavior. But, suspension doesn’t always get to the root of the problem nor does it equip students, parents or teachers to ﬁ x the behavior. So, we are left with a vicious circle of repeated behavioral problems, leading to a negative impact on academic standing

that creates prime candidates for dropping out of school. In fact, according to a recent comprehensive study by researchers at Louisiana State University, not only do students miss out on learning opportunities, but those who need help are often far less likely to be referred to the kinds of service and support they need to ﬁ x the root issues in the ﬁ rst place. An alternative is to examine the cause of this behavior and investigate the “why” behind its manifestation. Studies show that young people respond well to praise and positive reinforcement in a structured environment. When we change the model of praising “good” students and removing or suspending “bad” students, we can change the equation for students who need our help. Last year, 58% of the youth in Ohio who had a major mental health issue did

not get the help they needed, according to a 2018 study conducted by Mental Health America, more recently known as the National Mental Health Association. That equates to 56,000 youth in Ohio who needed mental health treatment and couldn’t access it or were not equipped to do so by adults in their lives. We can do better. An alternative to suspension or expulsion is a school that is staﬀ ed with specialists who are recognized experts in detecting root causes behind undesirable behaviors and addressing them; all while ensuring the student has every opportunity to remain in good academic standing. As our community learns more about mental illness, it’s time for us to look at other avenues besides arbitrarily removing a child from the classroom. John Banchy is the president and CEO of The Children’s Home.

‘A lifetime journey’

Era ends with the closing of Green Diamond Gallery Paul Daugherty Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Not much is sadder than walking out a door for the last time. It’s so much more than a couple steps. It’s a generation, maybe. An era, a passage. A lifetime. Bob Crotty owned the Green Diamond Gallery for 13 years. It was a baseball playpen for adults, fi lled with rare hardball memorabilia, curated by a guy who spent half a century collecting stuff to fi ll its walls. He didn’t know that 50 years ago, of course. Bob Crotty just liked autographs. He became passionate about it. Anyone who has been passionate about anything understands passion isn’t restricted by reason. Reasonable people wouldn’t have managed to collect baseballs individually signed by all but 35 of the 329 Hall of Famers. The Green Diamond Gallery was a testament to one man’s passion, and the completion of a dream he’d had as a boy in Dayton. “I was a kid fi lling up my parents basement,’’ Crotty said Wednesday, Sept. 11. “I remember thinking, wouldn’t it be cool to have Johnny Bench over with me and my buddies, drinking sodas or whatever, and we could all talk baseball? That’s what the Green Diamond See GALLERY, Page 2B

Honorary GCL-South member Winton Woods routs Moeller, 34-0 Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Miyan Williams rushed for 165 yards in Winton Woods’ third consecutive victory over Moeller on Friday night. MICHAEL NOYES FOR THE ENQUIRER

Division II Southwest Ohio powerhouse Winton Woods High School has played Moeller High School three straight seasons now and has three straight wins. Friday night's aff air was an early knockout as the Warriors put 27 on the board in the fi rst frame. They would only score one more time, winning handily. The halftime and fi nal score was 34-0, with Iowa State commit Miyan Williams running for 165 yards. Junior Mi'Chale Wingfi eld was 4-for-6 passing

for 78 yards and one score and ran for two more and 54 yards overall. "It takes a lot of pressure off of the young guys and the off ense," Winton Woods Head Coach Andre Parker said of the early advantage. "We're working every day, trying to be better. We haven't' played our best football yet." In a tad over three minutes, Winton Woods drew fi rst blood when Mi'Chale Wingfi eld had a 6-yard score. Setting up the series of events was a Williams 58yard run. Not long after, linebacker Daylon Long stripped the ball from a CruSee WINTON WOODS, Page 2B

became.’’ To the uninitiated, the gallery lived behind an inconspicuous storefront in downtown Montgomery. It was private, but for $2,000 a year, you could become a member: Full-time access to the museum, and a monthly guest speaker. More than half the living Hall of Famers spoke at the gallery, as did Roger Clemens and Jose Canseco. To describe the riches of the museum would be like cataloging the diamonds at Tiﬀ any’s. Let’s just say the Green Diamond was Cooperstown lite. It’s gone now, a part of Bob Crotty’s lifetime packed into a truck hired by Hunt Auctions Inc., a well-known memorabilia company. “A crew packed it up in one day,’’ Crotty said. “The next day, they had the truck loaded by 12:30. I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry or get drunk.’’ All three, probably. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never collected anything greater than a wall of beer cans, or if you think baseball is the national past time. It’s not about that at all. It’s about watching a huge part of your life heading out of town, never to return. We’ve all experienced that, or will, in some form. “A lifetime journey,’’ Crotty called it. He can’t recall for sure, but he thinks Pete Rose was his ﬁ rst autograph, obtained on a photograph at a downtown Dayton department store. Crotty was 9 or 10. “I started writing to players for autographs,’’ he said. He came upon a book – miraculous in retrospect – that listed the home addresses of every major league player. He mowed lawns and shoveled snow for the cash he needed for paper, index cards and self-addressed, stamped envelopes. He wrote a form letter and waited. Crotty guesses now that “60 to 70 percent’’ of the players responded. The less known, the more likely a response.

“Willie Mays never responded,’’ he said, laughing. Some players asked for money “for their kids’ college funds,’’ Crotty said. He didn’t pay. He was 12 years old, not the head of a corporation. The passion built, inexplicably. “It’s a

bug. Either you have it or you don’t,’’ Crotty explained. The Green Diamond Gallery grew out of a dream, but also from necessity. By the time it opened, Crotty had run out of space to store all he’d amassed, and he

didn’t want to spend more money to rent more space. “I never envisioned what I accumulated. It evolved,’’ said Crotty. My favorite piece in the gallery was a game-worn Lou Gehrig jersey that hung from the rafters along with maybe 100 others. One, it was Lou Gehrig’s jersey. Two, there aren’t many to be had now. Back in Gehrig’s day, worn-out game jerseys were passed down to minor leaguers. When they became practically see-through and unwearable, the jerseys fi rst worn by Lou Gehrig were cut into pieces, used to patch other jerseys. Imagine that today. Crotty didn’t seriously collect jerseys until he moved into the gallery. The vaulted ceilings needed something to fi ll them. “High ceilings, let’s hang jerseys,’’ he reasoned. Baseball might be timeless, but the world it plays in is not. Crotty fi gured he needed a steady membership of 150 to keep the gallery open. All he wanted was to come close to breaking even. Money was never the point. Love was the point. Membership stalled at about 100. It wasn’t just that, though. He turned 60 in the last year. He spends half the year in Arizona. Four years ago, his daughter died tragically. “It took me two years to comprehend that,’’ Crotty said. What emerged from that time of grieving was this: “The only thing we really own are our relationships,’’ Crotty said. “Everything else is rented.’’ He liked the relationships forged between GDG members. The relationships made everything else worthwhile. Crotty kept just a few things for himself, “stuff that would fi t in a corner of a closet,’’ he said. Portraits of a few unsurpassed players: Hank Aaron, Stan Musial. Mays, Williams, Mantle. A few bronze statues, some signed photos of players from way back when. That’s all. It is, after all, just stuff . That dream he had 50 years ago did pretty well for itself. “I could keep adding,’’ Crotty mused. “But I ran the marathon and I fi nished it.’’

sader and the Warriors took command early after Long went 66 yards to the end zone. Before the fi rst quarter ended, DeMeer Blankumsee and Wingfi eld had rushing touchdowns and a blowout was in process at 27-0. "I know the team had a lot of fun because they had energy all four quarters," Blankumsee said. "Usually, if we're up, our energy lacks a little and we give teams chances. I feel like we didn't give them a chance tonight." In the second quarter, Wingfi eld and Blankumsee hooked up on a 37-yard pass that featured a nifty move from the Toledo commit on his way to the score. "It was real fun to go out and be the fi rst person to score, and score again and complete some passes," Wingfi eld said. "We can do a lot. We ain't a team to doubt." The second half was played with a running clock by Ohio High School Athletic Association rules. Though Williams racked up more yards, the Warriors didn't cross the goal line, settling for the 34-0 shutout. Twice in the game, the Winton Woods defense kept Moeller out of the end zone on fourth-and-goal. Winton Woods goes to 4-0, while Moeller drops to 1-3. The Warriors came into the game 2-1 against the Crusaders, with their last loss coming 10 years ago, 45-34. That season was when Winton Woods last won a state title (2009) with Troy Everhart coaching and Andre Parker assisting. Since going independent, Winton Woods has been forced to beef up the schedule. Even in their Fort Ancient Valley Conference days, they began taking on GCL-South schools. Since 2015, they've been somewhat a thorn in the side of the prestigious league. They were 7-3 combined coming into Friday's game. This season, they play everyone but St. Xavier. After

Moeller, it's Elder at home on Oct. 18, followed by a road tilt at La Salle on Oct. 25. "We don't think too far ahead," junior linebacker Andrew Booker said. "We obviously have a main goal, but we just think week-by-week." Next up for Winton Woods is defending Division I champion Lakewood St. Edward, who was set to face Elder on Saturday.

COMMUNITY NEWS Local artists bring back Loveland Art Show tradition Several artists from the Loveland Art Studios on Main initiated the return of the Loveland Art Show, a 20-year tradition sponsored by the Loveland Arts Council. With the council inactive for the past two years, the artists sought help from Cee Cee Collins, the president of the local chamber of commerce. Collins connected the group with Ot Huber, Loveland’s Chief of Police, an ardent community supporter, and he connected the committee to the City of Loveland, a connection that resulted in the partnership among the artists, the city, and the local fi re department. The City of Loveland provided the infrastructure for the event (parking, insurance, securing sponsors, PR, public works assistance, etc.). The LovelandSymmes Fire Department provided the initial initiative and support, committee volunteers, and tents for the artists – a unique benefi t to the artists initiated by Huber. And a committee from the Loveland Artists on Main provided the leadership, the print promotions (event brochure, call to artists, etc.), and the artists/artist support. New to the event this year was a art show poster contest, off ering $500 to the winner. Loveland Mayor Kathy Bailey chose a poster created by Kim Wanamaker, a painter/teacher at the Loveland Artist Studios on Main. Another tradition the art show committee brought back was the Girl Scout’s “Kids’ Korner,” off ering a variety of kidfriendly art activities, including face painting, mask making, watercolors, and clay. In conjunction with Loveland’s musical festival weekend, “Rails, Trails, and Ales,” the city sponsored guitarist Michael Bustamante who provided a cool vibe throughout the show. The event was held Sunday, Sept. 8, a picture-perfect fall day. Overall, 28 juried artists participated, along with a

mini-gallery of 10 artists from the Loveland Artists on Main. “The event was a success!” said Eric Grothaus, a woodworking artisan in the show. “I sold half a dozen pieces, making it my best so far this year. Better yet, I distributed over 50 business cards, and I am already in communication with a potential client about a commission.” “The foot traﬃ c was fantastic!” exclaimed painter Jennifer Sayger. Best of Show winners, the motherdaughter jewelry team of Sharon Miller and Jill Staggs, agreed. “We have only good things to say about the festival! Excellent attendance and great support.” Henna Tattoo Artist Nandini Tarali provided her work free during the show this year and had a particularly poignant experience with an autistic kid who was amazed with his henna tattoo. “It was a wonderful moment for me.” She also appreciated that Loveland Mayor

Kathy Bailey stopped by. “You guys are awesome…even your mayor!” Returning artist Dawna Boehmer said, “The attendees of this show are always very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about art...much more so than at other shows I do. Please keep producing the art fair – the artists and attendees enjoy it.” Below are the 2019 Loveland Art Show Awardees: ❚ Purple Ribbon: Best of Show ($500) — Mother/Daughter Team of Jill Staggs and Sharon Miller (Jewelry) ❚ Blue Ribbon: 1st Place ($300) — Kathryn Dyche (Ceramics) ❚ Red Ribbon: 2nd Place ($200) — Julie Christmann (Mixed Media/Mosaics) ❚ White Ribbon: 3rd Place ($150) — Bob Shelton (Painting) ❚ Green Ribbon: Honorable Mention — Robin Moro (Painting) ❚ Green Ribbon: Honorable Mention — Tatiana Weedman (Photography) ❚ Pictures of all the award winners are available upon request.

Indian Hill High School presents Pow Wow 2020: Phantom of the Opera This school year – a Brave Pow Wow debut: “Phantom of the Opera.” We are so excited about what is sure to be an incredible performance, we had our own pow wow with Indian Hill High School (IHHS) teacher and show director Jeﬀ Clark to get the details. Clark Clark – in his fourth year as a Brave and his 19th year in teaching – is best known for directing competitive show choirs; he says he is ready to lead Pow Wow – a time-honored tradition of excellence in musical entertainment for our community. See what he has to say about the highly anticipated “Phantom of the Opera” production below, and mark your calendars NOW for the performances Feb. 20-22.

Mariemont High School boys golf team. PROVIDED

Indian Hill School District (IHSD): “Phantom of the Opera” is so well known – what makes it so special? Jeff Clark (JC): It is the longest running show on Broadway, and for good reason. The songs and the story are timeless, and I think the mystery draws people in. While it’s a love story, it’s also about acceptance, conquering your personal demons, and – spoiler alert – realizing that not all stories have happy endings! IHSD: We understand there will be many Indian Hill students involved in the 2020 Pow Wow Production off the stage … can you explain? JC: We’ve already reached out to other student groups to make this production involve the greater student community. We’re hoping to have our award-winning Robotics team assist in some of the special eff ects, our visual artists help recreate iconic scenes, and our French Club be part of the process as we dive into learning about Paris near the turn of the century. As you know, our students are VERY involved in many sports and activities, so I also would like to make sure that if someone wants to be involved, even if in just the big “Masquerade” scene, that we fi nd a place for them to be part of the Pow Wow experience. It’s something they will never forget!

IHSD: What are you most excited for? JC: There’s so much to be excited about! We have an incredible team assembled to bring out the best in every facet of our students. From our amazing IH Tech Crew to assist with the magical stage eﬀ ects under Mr. Kimmins, to the iconic sounds that will be coming from our instrumentalists led by Mr. Barker and Mrs. Emmons, ballet corps instruction by Jay Goodlett, and also individual drama coaching by Cincinnati all-star Ed Cohen, we know this will be a production not to be missed! IHSD: How can Braves “follow” “Phantom?” JC: You can keep up with the show process from our Instagram at @ihhstheatre, and we will also have some live updates through the Indian Hill School District Facebook page. Auditions will be the last week of October,

but students can come see me at any time with questions! Tickets will be available for pre-reservation near the end of 2019. We look forward to seeing you at the show.

ProScan defends itself against fraud allegations Anne Saker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Pushing back against a federal whistleblower lawsuit accusing ProScan Imaging of fraud, the founder of the radiology practice has written to dozens of doctors who have referred patients to ProScan that the allegations are not true. “You have been working closely with our physicians and our team of support staff long enough to know our quality, our service attitude and our ethics,” said the letter from Dr. Stephen J. Pomeranz, ProScan’s chief executive offi cer and medical director. “While the events of the past several days have been frustrating, we want you to know that nothing has changed.” Pomeranz sent the letter after a federal judge in Cincinnati unsealed the lawsuit accusing ProScan of defrauding Medicare, Medicaid and the veterans’ health insurer Tricare of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The lawsuit said ProScan recruited unqualifi ed people to read pictures taken of patients by magnetic resonance imaging machines that ProScan owns. The suit claims ProScan billed the government as if radiologists, who are medical doctors, had analyzed the fi lms. ProScan operates 25 imaging centers in seven states, including Ohio and Kentucky. ProScan also runs a practice where radiologists read MRI imaging and write reports for doctors who have sent patients to ProScan for testing. The suit was fi led by Dr. Peter Rothschild, a Louisville radiologist, and Jason Taylor, a radiologic technician in Louisville. The lawsuit claims that ProScan uses “ghost readers” to dodge government requirements that medical doctors sign off on MRI reports, “eliminating signifi cant overhead costs asso-

ciated with following the rules.” Calls to the lawyer representing Rothschild and Taylor, Subodh Chandra of Cleveland, have not been returned. The case was fi led in 2017, and U.S. District Judge Susan J. Dlott sealed the matter for a U.S. Justice Department investigation. Dlott unsealed the case earlier this month when the Justice Department declined to pursue the case. In his letter to referring doctors, Pomeranz said, “You may have seen or heard a news story about a lawsuit fi led by a competitor that claimed that ProScan utilizes nonphysicians in place of radiologists. This is not true.” Justice Department “thoroughly investigated the allegations. We cooperated fully, including answering every question and providing every document requested. The result: The DOJ declined to pursue the lawsuit and closed its investigation.” Pomeranz said all cases are read by licensed, board-certifi ed doctors, “period. No exceptions.” The case awaits further action before U.S. District Judge Michael Barrett.
