New stretch of Columbia Connector opens Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Community leaders recently celebrated the opening of a new half-mile stretch of the Columbia Connector multi-use trail, which links Columbia Township to the Little Miami Scenic Trail. “It’s amazing to see it fi nally open and it couldn’t have come at a better time when everybody is looking for outdoor activities,” David Kubicki, president of the Columbia Township Board of Trustees, said in an email to The Enquirer. “Columbia Township worked closely with (Great Parks of Hamilton County) and made a signifi cant fi nancial commitment to the Connector. This will improve the quality of life for our residents and also help the businesses nearby. It doesn’t get any better than that.” The newly opened stretch of the Columbia Connector runs west from the Little Miami Scenic Trail at the northern end of the Newtown Road bridge. It continues behind the 50 West Brewing Co., May We Help and Carriage House Car Wash, all on Wooster Pike, to Walton Creek Road. Great Parks of Hamilton County said in a press release that it is planning the next phase of the Connector, which is to cross Walton Creek Road and eventually turn north toward an intersection with Wooster Pike. After that, the release said, Great Parks will coordinate with the Ohio Department of Transportation to extend the Connector further west to the Mariemont branch of the Cincinnati and

For gym rats everywhere, no salute to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg felt more appropriate than the fi nal tribute from her personal fi tness trainer of 20 years. On Sept. 25, during the nation’s offi cial mourning in the U.S. Capitol, Bryant Johnson walked to the foot of Ginsburg’s fl ag-draped casket. He inclined his head. A moment later, he dropped to the fl oor and from the tips of his fi ngers and dress shoes fi red off three push-ups . Then he popped to his feet again. The gesture spoke to a deep friendship but also to Ginsburg’s dedication to her twice-weekly workouts with Johnson through bouts of cancer and broken bones. She died Sept. 18 at 87, and nearly every video obituary included a few seconds of Johnson putting Ginsburg through planks and biceps curls. A week later at the Cincinnati Sports Club on Red Bank Road, retired lawyer Doloris Learmonth kicked off her 77th birthday on a 30-minute weight routine with her trainer, BradMessenger. Ginsburg was not only a legal role model, Learmonth said, but she also demonstrated for older Americans how to keep an aging body strong and fl exible. Learmonth has been working out twice a week with Messenger for 20 years and, “If I look good now, he’s at least 50% of the reason.” In the past 20 years, research has shown the widespread benefi t of regular workouts with weights and fl exibility exercises, no matter how old you are. About 150 minutes a week of strength training can slow the loss of bone and muscle and improve balance, reducing

the risk of a fall. And amid a pandemic of an infectious virus, regular exercise also defends the body’s immune system. “There is science and evidencebased research that it does work, it does help, it does keep you young,” said Dr. Angelo Colosimo, a UC Health orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist. At 62, he said he’s lifting four or fi ve times a week. The federal government estimates that fewer than half of adults older than 75 and about a third of those 65 to 74 are physically active. Colosimo said genes play a role in how the body ages, but exercise can help an older person push back. “Too many people think you can’t build muscle after 60, but in your 60s, 70s, 80, you can defi nitely build muscle, which can help you keep your independence and keep you going a lot longer,” Colosimo said. Sharonville personal trainer Alex Williams of Alpha Wolf Training and Fitness said he has clients who start with him in their 80s. In a month, they notice their bodies have adapted to the workload. They experience improved sleep and mood. Williams said he appreciates the push-up sendoff that Johnson gave the Supreme Court justice. “Very respectful,” he said. “A friendship grows between a client and trainer,” Williams said. “You talk about a lot of things. You get to where, when her trainer did that, it lets me know that they had a great relationship, and that was his way of responding to her passing. It worked my heartstrings a lot.” Colosimo and Williams said people See TRAINING, Page 2A

is regularity, they said. At the Cincinnati Sports Club, as Messenger got Learmonth’s birthday workout started, the two talked about the trainer’s farewell push-ups, and Learmonth said, “I fully expect Brad to do that for me, in 30 or 50 years." Messenger laughed. “If I outlive you,” he said.

Any evidence Cincinnati among most racist towns? Gil Spencer Guest columnist

As a relatively new resident of Cincinnati, I was not surprised to read at the top of page 3 in the Oct. 2 Enquirer that “some say” Cincinnati is one of the “most racist towns” in America. “Some” people say a lot of things. Some say they were abducted by aliens. Maybe they were. The article was about long-time radio host Lincoln Ware and his appearance on a recent Enquirer podcast in which he voiced his opinions mostly about race stuff . If it is the job of a headline writer to grab attention to the story below, well, the headline writer did an excellent job in this case. I moved here seven years ago from a suburb of Philadelphia, a town that has seen its fair share of racial strife. I wouldn’t be surprised if “some said” Philadelphia was one of the “most racist towns” in America. As I said, people say a lot of things, true and untrue. Does Cincinnati deserve such a smear? I don’t know. I’ve only lived here a short time, and I live in Hyde Park. But I do live across the street from a pretty large apartment complex with a pretty diverse mix of residents. I don’t sense a lot of racial tension in my neighborhood but then that’s a pretty small sample from which to judge. As for the article about Ware, there didn’t seem to be much evidence in it to justify the claim in the headline. Ware suggested that when it comes to racial understanding the city has “come a long way” but that it still has “a long way to go.” He cited the police department’s history as an example. The writers of the story attribute to Ware the claim that the former police chief, Tom Streicher, “ran that police department with a heavy hand. You’d hear that they’d discipline Black police offi cer more harshly than they would white police offi cers.” You’d hear? From whom? Was there any evidence to back up this claim? Was there any statistical evidence showing this to be true? Were there disciplinary records that had been combed through

by anyone showing such a disparity? Not too long ago a similar claim was made against the nation’s public school teachers by the Obama Administration. It appeared to the Department of Education that Black students were being disciplined more often and more harshly than white students. The DOE blamed “racism” for this disparity. But going through the numbers, it turned out that white students were being disciplined more often than Asian students. Was that racism too? Or could it have been that Asian students as a group were, for some reason, less disruptive in class and behaved better in schools than their white counterparts? Who knows?

Moving on, the writers of the article attribute this assertion to Ware: “There’s two Cincinnatis. The Urban League said one Black, one white. I kind of believe that. I’ve been in this broadcast business for 47 years. I’m not saying people should know me, but there’s some white folks in this town, they never listen to Black radio… They never venture into the world of the African American. But African Americans will venture into their world. People know Bill Cunningham. People know Jim Scott. The white community doesn’t seem to embrace the Black community like the Black community embraces the white community. So Cincinnati has a long way to go.”

There may be some truth in that, although Cincinnati’s white community certainly seems to embrace the city’s sports teams, which are disproportionately made up of Black players. I’m not sure of the solution to that. But if what Ware says is true, I wonder what the solution might be? “Some” have suggested mandatory, government racial sensitivity training. Color me skeptical to the value of that bringing the races together. The article saves Ware’s strangest claim against the Queen City for last. “A lot of these companies and organizations, when they hire a Black person, it’s normally from outside of Cincinnati. My theory on this is they bring people from outside Cincinnati so when they get ready to ﬁ re them, they don’t have a whole (lot) of friends to stand up for them… I hate to see that happen to Black leaders.” That’s some theory. I wonder if there is any evidence to back it up. Have any corporate executives in the city copped to it? Any whistleblower with audio tapes? Has the Enquirer investigated it at all? I have not listened to the whole podcast, and I should. But I’m not big on podcasts or talk radio. I was a newspaper columnist for almost 30 years back East. Here, through a series of wonderful events, I was asked to join the Enquirer’s editorial board not too long ago. As a young white guy, I used to “venture in the world,” as Ware put it, to play basketball on inner city playground courts in Philadelphia and Trenton, N.J. As an old white guy, I like to think of myself as still willing to meet with and engage new people. Which is why if I was ever invited to be a guest on Ware’s radio show, I’d be happy to accept. He sounds like a nice and interesting guy. There is much we could discuss. Like, for instance, newspapers – like this one – have taken to capitalizing the letter B when referring to Black people. But they don’t capitalize the W when referring to white people. It’s a small thing but, I think, kind of weird. We could talk about that. And other things. Let’s talk, Mr. Ware. I’m willing if you are. Gil Spencer is a Hyde Park resident and member of The Enquirer editorial board.

Dawn Paugh replaced her "Biden/Harris" sign after her other one was set on ﬁ re the night of Sept. 26. PROVIDED/DAWN PAUGH

Trump signs trashed, Biden signs on ﬁ re Police receive reports of campaign sign vandalism Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Several campaign signs in support of presidential candidate Joe Biden were set ablaze the last weekend of September in Amberley Village and Deer Park, according to police. Dawn Paugh, 65, fi led a report Sept. 27 with Amberley Village Police stating an unknown person had set fi re to her “Biden/Harris” sign in her front yard overnight. “The wire frame and a small strip of scorched earth was all that remained,” the incident report reads. Paugh does not have security cameras and does not know who the perpetrator might be. Her neighborhood is a “very safe” and “friendly” street, she told The Enquirer Oct. 2. “We’re all just shocked,” she said. The report states another neighbor on Paugh’s street had a “Biden/Harris” and a Black Lives Matter sign burnt during the same time frame, although the neighbor did not fi le an offi cial report of

their own. Paugh says there were at least fi ve signs burned down. Paugh’s neighbor, Mary Jo McCutchen, and did not fi le a report with police, but told The Enquirer that her sign had also been torched. She provided photos of her lawn, where the sign used to be. She’s put another Biden sign up since, and so has Paugh. McCutchen says the incident brought about “such a feeling of violation.” “It’s so awful to have such animosity,” McCutchen said. Paugh and McCutchen have both lived in Amberley Village for more than 15 years. Both women say they have never seen anything like this. “I realize, historically, everybody’s signs, both sides, have been destroyed, stolen, whatever,” Paugh said. “That just happens. It’s not right, but it happens in political races. “But to actually escalate it to setting fi re in drought circumstances... that’s frightening.” Deer Park Lt. Daniel McCormick told The Enquirer that two residents in his jurisdiction requested extra patrols due to incidents of vandalism, and said one other similar report was still pending on Wednesday. McCormick said he believes the inci-

dents were connected to the Amberley Village incident since Deer Park borders Amberley. According to the incident reports, one Black Lives Matter sign on Matson Avenue was burned overnight on Sept. 27. Two days later, a Trump sign was stolen from the front yard of another home on that street. The pending Deer Park report is in regards to an incident on Lansdowne Avenue, four blocks away. Police wrote that unknown subjects burned two yard signs, one Black Lives Matter sign and a “NOPE” anti-Trump sign, on Sept. 27. These incidents are not the fi rst of their kind in the Cincinnati area as the election draws nearer. Earlier in September, Madeira police charged 40year-old Aaron Bruewer, of Portsmouth, with misdemeanor criminal trespassing after offi cials said he stomped on yard signs supporting President Donald Trump. A release from the Madeira Police Department stated nine residents reported damaged or defaced signs, and offi cers discovered at least 26 defaced Black Lives Matter signs during their patrols the weekend of Sept. 6. Bruewer was later fi ned $250 in court costs, according to an Enquirer report.

In Blue Ash, a man reported that his sign in support of President Donald Trump had been vandalized overnight on Aug. 29. His outside cameras caught the incident on video, according to the police report. The document states an “indiscernible subject” removed the man’s Trump yard sign at 2:13 a.m. and returned it nearly 50 minutes later. The report says the sign had male genitalia spray-painted on both sides. The incident was fi led as a criminal damaging/endangering off ense, a misdemeanor. A week earlier, the man said his other Trump sign had been stolen by unknown persons. The man told offi cers he was upgrading his camera system and repositioning the cameras, according to the document. As of Sept. 30, there were no reports of campaign sign vandalism in Covington, Dayton, Bellevue or Newport in Kentucky, and no reports in Sycamore Township in Ohio, according to police spokespeople. The Enquirer had not received records of campaign sign vandalism from the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Offi ce or the Cincinnati Police Department as of Oct. 2.

Root vegetable and chickpea tagine is a ‘ﬁ lling, healthful’ meal Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Our garden is gourd and winter squash central for family, neighbors and friends. The little ones love to explore the vines holding these autumn treasures. During a recent hunt, granddaughters Ellery, Eva and Emerson found what they claimed was a new kind of gourd. Not so. They found edible tan honey nut squash, a very small member of the large butternut squash family. I planted seeds in June and somehow the honey nut squash vines wound up tangling with ornamental gourds. Honey nut butternut squash is easy to prepare. The peel is tender so I leave it on. Seeds are small enough to leave in. The perfect butternut to include in this warming vegetarian tagine recipe. I fi rst tasted this stew during a winter Turner Farms, Indian Hill (turnerfarm.org) culinary class on sources of anti-infl ammatory, fi ber fi lled plant foods and herbs. Topped with a spicy yogurt herb sauce, this stew is a fi lling, healthful and delish meal. I adapted their recipes only slightly.

SPORTS Pirates minor leaguer, CHCA alum Chase Murray battles anxiety Adam Baum Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

“I think there’s a strength in revealing your weakness.” Chase Murray didn’t know what was wrong. He didn’t know why he was feeling the way he felt, why the thoughts racing through his head seemed endless. The medical defi nition of anxiety is an abnormal and overwhelming sense of apprehension and fear often marked by physical signs and by doubt concerning the reality and nature of the threat, and by self-doubt about one’s capacity to cope with it. Murray has anxiety. “I believe mine stems from wanting to do so much with each day and feeling like you’re running out of time,” said Murray, who graduated from Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy in 2016, played college baseball at Georgia Tech, and was drafted in the 13th round of the 2019 MLB Draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates. “I didn’t even know anxiety was a thing.” The fi rst time he experienced it was at Georgia Tech. “We’re in the middle of a season and I’m doing good and everything from the outside looking in was great and I remember I went through a little breakup and at the time, I was leading the ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) in hitting, but when I’m not at the ball fi eld I’m in my room spinning circles in my head with this feeling ... this worry, this constant racing in my head.” At the time, he didn’t know how to handle it and it didn’t take long before it fl ared up again on him. The year he was drafted, Murray got injured two weeks into the college season. “I have that same (worried) feeling,” he said. “What the hell’s going on? I wish this would just go away because I know I’m fi ne and things are gonna work out because God always has a plan, but I need to get this feeling away.” He spoke to his girlfriend about it. She said he might have anxiety and encouraged him to speak to his dad. “So I called my dad and I go, ‘Dad, I think I got anxiety,’” said Murray. “And See MURRAY, Page 2B

Chase Murray, a 2016 CHCA grad, pictured here playing college baseball with Georgia Tech, was a 13th round pick in the 2019 MLB Draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Murray recently spoke to The Enquirer about his battle with anxiety, hoping that by speaking out he could help others who might be dealing with similar issues. THANKS TO GT ATHLETICS/DANNY KARNIK

Fairborn cancellation moves Withrow to 2nd round Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Withrow quarterback Brian Lindsey runs the ball at Withrow High School on Sept. 18 MICHAEL NOYES FOR THE ENQUIRER

Withrow High School's fi rst postseason football game since 2013 will now be pushed back a week and it will be against a diff erent opponent. Withrow was scheduled to play its fi rst-round game at Fairborn on Friday, but Fairborn's season has been postponed due to a COVID-19 incident. London Bishop of the Fairborn Daily Heraldbroke the news Thursday morning. Bishop reported that Fairborn's season will "put on hold until Saturday, October 17th due to COVID-19." The postponement means that Withrow, which played three regular-season games, automatically advances to the second round of the Ohio High School Athletic Association state playoff s in Division II, Region 8. The No. 21 Tigers are now set to visit former Eastern Cincinnati Conference foe Turpin on Oct. 16. Withrow lost its fi nal regular-season game to Taft on Oct. 2, but the Senators' use of an ineligible player made the game a forfeit victory for the Tigers.

Murray Continued from Page 1B

he’s like, ‘What are you worried about?’ “And God bless him, he was just as clueless to the whole thing as I was.” Last off season, Murray decided to learn more about his anxiety and when the coronavirus pandemic hit, Murray began to notice more and more athletes discussing mental health. He saw Kevin Love, of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott open up about their own struggles. Seeing high-profi le athletes dealing with the same issues he’s dealing with was a reminder that he’s not alone. “Once I fi gured out what was going on in my own head I tried to share it with people right away,” said Murray. “I get it. I understand. I always talk about it because I think there’s a strength in revealing your weakness and I think you become stronger as a human being when you talk about it.” Murray takes medication to help manage his anxiety. He’s also found it helpful to talk to people he trusts. “Just talking and breathing was huge for me,” said Murray. “Since I’m a religious guy, in 2019 – my draft year when I was hurt – I had a lot of extra time so when I would have extra time I would pray and write down devotionals, not journaling, but I was trying to manifest what I wanted to feel that day and writing things down and clearing it out of your mind actually works.” He wanted to speak publicly about his anxiety because he said there’s still a stigma around mental health. Murray wanted to remind people that it’s real and it doesn’t discriminate. “From the outside looking in I’ve got a great life going on,” said Murray. “But that doesn’t mean there’s not days where I have some anxiety that cripples you to the couch and you’re just sitting there thinking about what’s wrong. “I want to be a sense of comfort and understanding. I want people to know they’re not alone. “Again, when I say this, I realize I am so not on the same level as a Dak Prescott or Kevin Love. I’m a minor league baseball player. There’s a huge diff erence, but if there’s some kid or adult that hears this from a professional base-

ball player then God bless them if I can make them feel a little more comfortable.” Murray was at spring training in Bradenton, Florida, when the pandemic shut everything down. When the Pirates decided to send everyone home, Murray declined air travel and opted to drive the 10 hours home with teammate Matt Gorski, who’s from Indiana. Murray spent the next few months with his parents in Cincinnati, training at CHCA to stay in shape, and working odd jobs here and there to help supplement his income with his stipend from the Pirates. His agent helped him get afﬁ liated with Twitch, a live online streaming service, and he racked up more than 50 subscribers that watched him play Call of Duty: Warzone during the pandemic. “I’m so blessed to have a great family and it was almost like they were having fun having me home,” Murray said. “My dad would be amped to go hit and he was almost like a secondary form of motivation to get up and do all the training because he loved it, and I could say the same for my brother who’s still playing (baseball).” As the pandemic continued deeper into summer and crept closer to fall, Murray, who was two semesters away from graduation at Georgia Tech when he signed with the Pirates, decided to return to school to ﬁ nish his degree in Business Administration with the Pirates paying his way. “I’m getting to do something I’ve never done before ... be a regular student with no athletic requirements,” said Murray. Murray’s back down in Atlanta. That’s where his girlfriend is and he enjoys attending classes in person at Georgia Tech, although it’s a hybrid learning model at the moment. He’s still training, back with Georgia Tech strength coach Steve Tamborra, so he’s ready when baseball starts back up. Murray won’t call this a wasted season because he didn’t waste it. He reconnected and spent time with his family, went back to school, learned about himself, and maybe most importantly, he opened up about something most people avoid talking about. He’s looking forward to spring, a season that just so happens to bring baseball with it every year when it arrives.

The Hog Bristles return to the Barn Adding more color to your blues just got a little easier, thanks to the eﬀ orts of the Cincinnati-based Hog Bristle Painters. On Oct. 22, the oil-painting group invites the public to attends its annual show and opening reception beginning at 6 p.m. Unique to this year’s show, is an exhibition of experimental art pieces produced by the artists while in quarantine. Due to the Covid outbreak, the group, who was unable to meet in person, set a goal to create pieces that would normally lie beyond the realm of their personal comfort. The exhibition will be located in the loft of the Barn at 6980 Cambridge Avenue in Mariemont. The artists will provide bottled or canned beverages and packaged snacks to their guests in a set-

p.m. - 4 p.m. The Barn enforces strict COVID-19 protection guidelines by limiting 10 guests at a time and requiring the use of face masks at its functions. In an eff ort to provide eff ective tracing methods in the event of a break-out, staff requests registration upon entrance. Please visit artatthebarn.org for a COVID-19 update before visiting The Barn. Kym Schneider Kuenning

SCHOOL NEWS LaSalle High partners with Stepping Stones for Community Service Day On Sept. 18, four LaSalle High School freshmen and their fathers were called to serve their community with a visit to Stepping Stones’ Drex Campus in Norwood. Grabbing buckets and soap, the 8man crew cleaned a ﬂ eet of accessible vans inside and out at a car wash. These vehicles are used by the agency’s Adult Day Services program, which provides skill-building and community exploration opportunities to adults and seniors with varying disabilities. The car wash was organized as part of LaSalle’s Freshmen Day of Renewal, with father-son groups completing service projects at multiple partnering organizations around the Tri-state. Founded in 1963, Stepping Stones is a nonproﬁ t, United Way partner agency that serves children, teens and adults with disabilities. The organization has four Greater Cincinnati locations, including sites in Batavia, Indian Hill, Norwood and Western Hills. To learn more about Stepping Stones, visit SteppingStonesOhio.org.

The Student Experience: Meet Reilly Grace By Indian Hill High School Student Experience Journalist Vandita Rastogi An elegant woman in a beautiful yellow gown; a sweet-singing and imaginative girl; a comedic diva; a free-spirited mother. Chances are, you already know who I’m talking about. If you’ve been enchanted by her ethereal performance as “Belle in Beauty and the Beast Jr.,” dazzled by her colorful dances as Donna in “Mamma Mia!” or mystifi ed by her charming soprano as Carlotta in “The Phantom of the Opera,” you’ve just met one of the most versatile performers at Indian Hill High School. Reilly Grace, now a senior at the high school, has been an avid actress since the third grade, when she fi rst performed in “High School Musical 2 Jr.” Since then, she has graced the stage after hours of dedicated practices and long rehearsals, all with “unwavering enthusiasm” – as described by her fellow actors. But her passion for theater goes beyond school. Grace has participated in summer events with the Cincinnati Academy of the Performing Arts (CAPA); while she takes voice lessons and explores the numerous other aspects of acting, such as tech crew, she also counsels their summer productions, teaching younger performers how to make music and providing them with costumes. These experiences have not only made her a better student and leader, but also a better friend. Her success and mind-blowing talent under the spotlight is only half of what makes her such a popular student who is loved by all. Her closest friends describe her as “humble, loving, witty, supportive, and strong” and she’s always been a shoulder to lean on when they need it. As someone who’s only taken one class with her, I can defi nitely attest to this. Grace is quick to respond to those struggling and always provides a supportive and light-hearted environment in desperate times. Whether you’ve only just met her or are long-time friends, she will surely cheer up your groggy Monday mornings and dull Friday afternoons. As she prepares to apply to colleges this year as a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theater, we all know that her professionalism and compassion will

surely take her far in life. Vandita Rastogi, Indian Hill School District

CHCA sophomore creates trail for outdoor classroom Symmes Township. As CHCA sophomore, Josh Gaudet (of Mason), considered what to do for his Eagle Scout project, he decided to focus on something that was on his heart since his 5th grade year. As a student at CHCA, he has enjoyed spending time on the Nature Trail and Outdoor Classroom, located between CHCA’s Edyth B. Lindner and Gaudet Founders’ Campuses. Appreciating all of the hard work that was originally put into the space by Laura Dykstra ’17 and Madeline Dykstra ‘19, Gaudet wanted to add to the space by ﬁ xing and further developing the trail leading to the classroom. Using six tons of edging stones, Gaudet and his team of volunteers created a path for students to safely walk to the outdoor classroom. In addition to creating the path, he researched and planted twelve native plants along the trail for students to learn about as they walk to the classroom. Working with CHCA Technology Teacher, Adam Cool, he even created signs that gave descriptions for each of the new plants. Gaudet’s original plan was to complete his project over Memorial Day weekend, but COVID-19 pushed his plan back to Labor Day weekend. In addition

TREAT YOURSELF TO EXPERIENCE TRUE

to managing the project, Gaudet also worked to make sure COVID social distancing guidelines and safety protocols were in place with all of his volunteers. In the end, the project required 47 volunteers and a total of 246 hours to complete. The cost was $3,100 with Gaudet raising $1,800 himself and the other half being donated by CHCA. Now that the project is complete, Gaudet will be submitting his letters of recommendation, followed by attending a few conferences, and then ﬁ nishing with his board of review to oﬃ cially become an Eagle Scout! “Josh is a hard worker and really poured his heart into this project,” shared Cool. “I knew from the level of detail and thought he put into it that it would turn out great and it really did. My own kids love the trail and everything he added to it has made it more educational and easier to maintain. He should be very proud of how it turned out.” Gaudet hopes that the Lower and Upper Elementary students enjoy the newly renovated and improved trail. He is thrilled to see CHCA science teachers use the space for teaching beyond the classroom walls. And what next? He plans to lead a Student Organized Service (SOS) group to maintain the trail twice a year! To learn more about Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy, visit chca-oh.org.

Saint Ursula Academy announces SUA Palooza virtual event, names event chairs Saint Ursula Academy will feature a VIRTUAL night of fun and merriment in February as it hosts the school’s largest annual event, the SUA Palooza. Due to health concerns and restrictions on large events, the executive committee made the decision to transform SUA Palooza into a live virtual event on February 6, 2021. The event is online and attendees can connect remotely from wherever they are! Event chairs this year are current SUA parents Jessica Pedoto of Cleves, Lori Deters of Three Rivers, and Missy Meinhardt of Bridgetown. Partnering with a team from Saint Ursula and an army of volunteers, they are working hard to ensure the 2021 SUA Palooza is a great success. SUA Palooza is the one and only allschool fundraising event which benefi ts every student at Saint Ursula Academy by helping to fund operating expenses and other costs of education not fully covered by tuition. While SUA Palooza will look diff erent in 2021, it will still feature a silent auction, live event program, raffl es, games and much more. Jill Cahill, Saint Ursula Academy

Montessori-inspired day care and preschool celebrates 25th anniversary amid pandemic Like many families and business with big plans for 2020, the global pandemic derailed most of what The Children’s House, a local daycare and preschool with six campuses across the region had in store for its year-long 25th Anniversary celebration. However, it didn’t stop the school’s families and administrators from recently commemorating the start of the milestone academic year with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony in Montgomery. “COVID presented a lot of challenges for businesses and schools safely reopen, and because we are in the unique position of being both of those entities, we had extra obstacles to overcome in order to be here today,” said Ben Stansel, Owner of The Children’s House. “While we were disappointed to have to postpone most of our Anniversary plans, we are so proud we were able to reopen our schools, on time, to get students back in

the classroom and help families get back to work. We want to thank our incredible educators who showed their dedication to the students and our program by their willingness to return in June, when things were still pretty uncertain.” After navigating through guidance from the Ohio and Kentucky Boards of Health, Boards of Education, Departments of Job and Family Services, and the Federal Small Business Administration to name a few, The Children’s House carefully opened its doors in June after a three-month shutdown, and last week had its offi cial start to a very unusual school year. Since reopening earlier this summer, there has only been one confi rmed case of COVID-19 across its campuses, and the school credits the committed eff ort from its families and staff in following the CDC’s safety guidelines, procedures and policies for COVID-19 to keep its communities safe. Upon learning that school-agers were struggling to assistant in their children’s remote learning during the workday, The Children’s House developed an in-house Virtual School-Age Program that accommodates students whose schools are pursuing a virtual or hybrid schedule. It took the necessary steps to ensure all students would have access to highspeed internet, hired tech-savvy teachers and developed age-appropriate programs for down-time. “What’s special about this anniversary is that the schools have maintained quality programming for so long and are still able to meet the needs of families in the community,” says Stansel. “Despite the uncertainty of the times, we remain focused on our mission, which is to educate the whole child, and that means maintaining our close relationships with their parents and community as well.” The Children’s House is a Montessori-inspired Daycare, Preschool, and Kindergarten with six locations: Bridgetown, Delhi, Madisonville and Montgomery in Ohio, and Hebron and Union in Kentucky. We have worked for over 25 years to develop a unique educational model that blends the best of traditional and Montessori teaching methods. Most of our schools off er infant through Kindergarten programming, plus a new in-house school-age virtual program. Visit www.thechildrenshousecincinnati.com to learn more.
