Man rebuilds life in Ohio after ICE detained him for a year Mark Curnutte

Mohamed and Sherkia Diaby have lost much of what they built together in 11 years of marriage. After a year and a week in federal immigration custody, Mohamed Diaby was released March 20 and is now free. Yet has a stack of legal bills to pay. He lost the job he’d held for two years in a mattress factory because he lost his work permit. He also lost his driver’s license and the apartment he shared with his wife in Westwood. “I lost everything and have to start over again,” he said while sitting in the cramped living room of his mother-inlaw’s house in College Hill. Diaby and his wife are living there until they can get re-established. They even sent their 10-year-old daughter, Issa, a U.S. citizen, to live with Mohamed’s sister in the Bronx. There, she is learning Mauritanian culture and several languages, including Swahili and Arabic. Despite the many losses, the challenge of starting over in the United States, he said, is a much better option than the alternative of being deported to his native Mauritania. What he lost here can be regained and rebuilt. Not so in his homeland in northwest Africa. “As soon as you get to Africa, you are either a slave or a refugee,” said Diaby, who isn’t certain of his age but whose documents show he’s 51.

Yet U.S. Immigration and Customers Enforcement oﬃ cials haven’t been deterred from attempting to send a growing number of Mauritanians back, despite the objections of human rights activists and groups. The agency deported 98 Mauritanians in the year ending in October 2018. ICE sent back just eight in the previous year. Dozens more, including Amadou Sow, of Lockland, remain in ICE custody. The Mauritanian government is now refusing to grant the most basic travel document, which would allow a Mauritanian who’s being deported to enter the country. In Diaby’s case, that’s what the government did through its embassy in Washington, D.C. In a letter dated Dec. 4, 2018, to ICE oﬃ cials, the Mauritanian counselor in

Greenhills a New Deal town 80 years ago Jeff Suess

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The original story appeared May 12, 2013, and has been updated. The village of Greenhills, a greenbelt community in northern Hamilton County built by the federal government as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, has turned 81 years old. The ﬁ rst residents moved to Avenell Lane on April 1, 1938. Nestled within Winton Woods, surrounded by forest, Greenhills still has the look of an early suburban town. Most of the original buildings are still in use, and the historic district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Wendel Fisher has been living in Greenhills since nearly the beginning. His family moved to a house on Bachman Street in June 1938, when he was two years old. He recalls bygone days of ice cream socials and the whole neighborhood partaking in grill-outs of blue gill that some of the men had caught in Sharon Woods. But, times change, people change. Neighborhoods aren’t as neighborly. “It doesn’t seem like it was when I was growing up,” Fisher said. “We didn’t have television in the ’40s, and, of course, the war was going on.” Back in 1935, the Resettlement Administration planned to build 25 cooperative towns surrounded by greenspace of forests and farmland, hence the term “greenbelt.” It was an experiment in community planning that also provided work and middle-income housing during the Great Depression. Greenhills was the third village completed, after Greenbelt, Maryland, and Greendale, Wisconsin. Then the program ran out of money. Greenhills alone cost $11.5 million, which included purchasing 5,360 acres

of land in Springfi eld Township. About 3,300 workers spent 4.3 million manhours constructing the town, and many of them became its fi rst residents. The land north of town was divided into large farms, where residents would come for fresh milk and produce. In 1939, the forest to the south was handed over to the Hamilton County Park Board to form Winton Woods. Fisher remembers his mother talking about the application process to join Greenhills. Government offi cials came out and interviewed their neighbors in Westwood to determine their moral character and make sure they would

maintain the property. The government required residents to have a steady job, making between $1,000 and $2,500 a year – that would be $18,000 to $45,000 today. This stipulation kept many of the poorest in Cincinnati from moving in. Income was checked every year, and those who exceeded the maximum were asked to leave. Only white families were accepted in an era when segregation was common. Most of the 676 dwellings were apartments or multifamily townhouses, with only a few stand-alone homes. Many apartments had a modern style with fl at roofs for easy maintenance. All units were rented, not purchased, with an average rent of $27.62 a month ($500 in 2018 dollars). Planners Justin Hartzog, who also helped plan Mariemont, and William Strong had the roads follow the natural rolling topography, with housing on dead-end side streets to cut down on traffi c and make it safer for children to play. Everything a town needed was near one street, making it a walking community. The shopping center was one of the fi rst strip malls in Ohio. The Greenhills Community Building housed a library, gym and movie facilities, as well as two Works Progress

Administration murals by Paul Chidlaw and Richard Zoellner. After World War II, Uncle Sam decided to sell off the greenbelt towns, ending the community experiment. On Dec. 9, 1949, the Greenhills Home Owners Corp., a nonprofi t tenant group, purchased 610 acres of Greenhills for $3.5 million. The tenants then bought the properties they had been renting. New one-family houses of the typical suburban style were built, turning Greenhills into a bedroom community. The northern farmland was sold in 1952 to create New Greenhills, which was instead named Forest Park. Fisher bought his own home in the “newer section” of town in 1962. After 37 years at Cincinnati Bell, he now volunteers at the Greenhills Historical Society sorting through the archives. The population in 2010 was down to 3,615, about what it was in 1950. In 2009, longtime residents protested when offi cials tore down 52 of the original fl at-roof apartments that had been neglected, even though they were on the historic registry. “We have a pretty engaged community,” said former Greenhills Mayor Fred Murrell. “A lot of people are proud of the village and happy to celebrate it.” Greenhills, perhaps, hasn’t really changed that much.

This New Bladder Control Pill May Replace Adult Diapers

Continued from Page 1A

ing the person under arrest be brought before a judge or into court. At that point, Wang said, ICE then tried to deport Diaby to another country. “I objected that such a move is not authorized because the immigration judge ordered removal speciﬁ cally to Mauritania,” Wang said. “I think this was the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back, and the Department of Justice – not the Department of Homeland Security – decided to release my client from ICE detention.” Diaby had been moved to the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center, a privately owned prison near Youngstown. He and two other Mauritanian men from Ohio were released. He’d been held previously at the Morrow and County jails. Butler County’s contract with ICE is worth an estimated $1.4 million annually with an additional $30,000 paid to the county to transport prisoners. ICE pays Butler County $53.20 a day per detainee and a $29.29 hourly rate for guards, according to ICE contracts acquired by the National Immigrant Justice Center. Back home, Diaby recalled his incarceration. At an ICE appointment Feb. 7, 2018, in Columbus, an oﬃ cial told him to get travel document from the Mauritanian embassy. He went to Washington and was refused. ICE arrested him at his next appointment on March 13, 2018.

Facing an uncertain future without a country While Diaby is free for the time being, he remains a man without a country. He has been in that limbo for 30 years. In 1989, the Mauritanian government rescinded citizenship rights of tens of thousands of Black Moors, telling them to leave the country. Diaby became a refugee in neighboring Senegal. He could not re-enter Mauritania. His mother and father died while he was away. He traveled to New York in 2000 and applied for asylum, which was eventually denied. In 2013, he was ordered to leave the United States voluntarily, which he did not do. He found a new family in Cincinnati, where he relocated for work. Ohio is thought to have the country’s largest population of Mauritanians, split between the Columbus and Cincinnati areas, according to the Ohio Immigrant Alliance.

ICE detained Mauritanian national Mohamed Diaby for a year before a judge ordered his release. In his time away, he and his American wife lost their businesses and their apartment and had to move in with her mother in College Hill. ALBERT CESARE / ENQUIRER

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.

“He works so hard, he is a workaholic,” Sherkia Diaby said of her husband. “He should have citizenship by now.” Said her mother, Tondra Guyton, “He’s wonderful. I love them both. He’s good to my daughter. He’s good to me.” Under the Trump administration, ICE changed a long-standing U.S. policy that allowed people such as Diaby to stay here lawfully, though they’d formally been denied asylum. They were required to keep regular appointments with ICE. In return, they received work permits that allowed them to legally hold a job and drive – and pay federal, state and local taxes. Ahead of Diaby are a series of steps: Regain his work permit and license. Get his manufacturing job back at the mattress factory in Northern Kentucky. He has built and rebuilt his life many times before, most recently in 2013. Diaby served fi ve years in prison on money laundering and selling counterfeit movies and music at his string of local convenience stores, Hamilton County court records show. Applicants for permanent residency and then citizenship must prove “good moral character,” which is more diffi cult to show with a criminal record. Diaby said he served his time and paid his debt to society. He said served the full fi ve-year sentence because he didn’t want to be on parole. Now, the couple plans to resume their life, including bringing their daughter back from New York. “This is the place we could come and have a better life,” said Diaby, leaning his tall, lean frame forward in a small chair. “You can survive here. This is the land of opportunity. If you work hard, you can make something of yourself. A lot of people here are good people. I want to be one of them.”

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. It also prevents your bladder from fully emptying, which can result in persistent bacterial infections and UTIs. UriVarx’s™ active ingredient targets the muscles around the bladder, making them stronger. Supporting ingredients in UriVarx™ support kidney function and overall urinary health.

BLADDER PROBLEMS GONE With daily use, UriVarx™ can restore strong bladder control and help users overcome leakage without the negative side effects or interactions associated with drugs. Leakage sufferers can now put an end to the uncontrollable urges, the embarrassing accidents, and enjoy an entirely new level of comfort and confidence.

How to color Easter eggs naturally Naturally-colored Easter eggs Naturally colored Easter eggs. RITA HEIKENFELD

The methods for producing dyes are pretty much the same, except for beets and turmeric. Here’s a guide: In a saucepan, place as many papery outer skins of yellow or red onions that you have. Cover with up to a couple inches of water. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook until onion skins have colored the water, about 10 minutes. Use this same method for red cabbage ( just chunk it up]. Strain. For every cup of liquid, add a teaspoon or so of clear vinegar. Put boiled eggs in. You’ll get various degrees of color depending upon how long the eggs sit in the dye. Yellow onion skins produce eggs that are amber to dark orange. Red onion skins produce eggs that are brick/brownish red.

Those of you who have read this column for a while know that coloring eggs naturally is something we’ve done for years in our family. And I’m happy to see more of you “coming into the fold,” requesting recipes for coloring eggs with natural dyes. So as promised, here again are recipes that I hope will become traditions in your family. Some dyes use ingredients you most likely already have. They don’t take long to make, so can be done the day before Easter if necessary. During Lent I save my yel-

low and red onion skins in my old hand-carved wooden salad bowls. These will be the bases for beautiful, natural colored eggs. Along with the onion skins I use red cabbage, turmeric, and beet juice. I always let the little ones help. They watch in awe as they learn their ﬁ rst lessons in food chemistry. Depending on the dye, colors range from amber to brick red to teal blue and even sun gold yellow and the palest pink. I have my parents, Mary and Charlie Nader, to thank for making us such “green advocates.” Mom colored some of our eggs with onion skins. More than just coloring, my Dad would remind us they were a way of passing down a humble history.

Clarifi cation Zip’s Chili/Main Street Cafe Although both of these Cincinnati suburban restaurants exude a “welcome to the family” atmosphere, they are separately owned. Dave Murrie is the owner of Main Street Cafe. Mike Burke is the owner of Zip’s Cafe. He purchased Zip’s from Brian Murrie more than four years ago and has been employed at Zip’s, on and off , since he was 15. As far as a defi nitive answer for the origin of the Zip’s recipe, Mike said “we aren’t sure where it actually came from.” Like all heirloom recipes, the original recipe has been tweaked through the years making it the iconic, unique recipe you enjoy today.

Beet juice turns the eggs pale pink. I just strain out the juice from canned beets and use that. Easy peasy! Red cabbage is the winner: It makes beautiful teal to dark blue eggs but these take the longest time so you may want to put them in the refrigerator until they turn the shade you like.

Turmeric colored eggs require a different method: Stir 3 tablespoons turmeric in 2 cups water in saucepan. Bring to boil. Remove, let cool but don’t strain. Add 2 teaspoons or so of clear vinegar. Place boiled eggs in dye, stirring to coat. When you remove the eggs, gently run them very quickly under running water to remove spice particles. Turmeric makes the eggs brilliant yellow.

Faced with blindness, I found humanity Joseph Harmon Guest columnist USA TODAY NETWORK

I came to Cincinnati from Louisville and knew little about this place. To be completely honest, it was a fl uke. It was the people of Cincinnati and your caring that saved my life. Through a string of failed job attempts elsewhere and multiple corneal transplants, I learned that I required medical services in order to become a productive member of the community. My prior life had been a cycle of being hired for a job only to be let go before the 90-day probationary period. This was because of my inability to perform the tasks due to limited eyesight. I suff er from a regressive genetic visual disorder called keratoconus. This results in near blindness. A few days later, frustrated with life and venting to a friend, cut off in midramble he simply asked me, “Jo, you seem to have a lot on your plate here … we are moving to Cincinnati, would you

like to go?” All I heard was “fresh start.” Fast forward three months. In Cincinnati, I was working at an auto part warehouse where my charge was to paint and stack auto parts. While working one day, I noticed my vision progressively getting worse, losing vision by the hour. Toughing out the days’ work until when my shift end, I immediately hightailed it to UC Hospital. I was almost immediately prioritized and moved over to Hoxworth Ophthalmology, only a block away, where I met Dr. Adam Kaufman, who is now my primary care physician. He prescribed six antibiotics and steroids. I had to use eye drops every two hours – imagine trying to maintain employment with a regimen this precise – or risk literally losing your eye. My living did not include a safe haven to properly heal. On my last day at UC Hospital, a social worker from Hoxworth staﬀ approached my bedside with an armful of papers. I believed they were my discharge papers. I knew my living situation would not be able to accommodate my medical needs.

Giving the rundown of events leading up to my admission she said a simple seven words that changed my life before I even knew it, “Give me a second, I’ll be back.” Ten minutes later, she walked back in with a grin on her face and a plan. She led me to the Center for Respite Care. The Center for Respite Care is a medical recovery facility where homeless individuals with acute medical conditions have a safe haven to recover. There are nurses to oversee the recovery. This was crucial as my eye drops required refrigeration and competent nurse attentiveness to ensure I took the drops as prescribed. These people have been my saving grace and backbone while at the center. They have taught me to hold patience in one hand and humility in the other. While at the center, I was assisted with regaining my vision and ensuring that I had a way of getting to and from appointments and a sighted guide. Additionally, they supported me in getting income and helped me to ﬁ nd housing. They connected me with Cooking for the Family. This is where I met

my fi rst culinary inspirations. I was also able to attend and graduate Cincinnati Cooks (Shout out to Kids Café, Class 176!), where I now religiously volunteer. I intend to start working, as soon as I am medically cleared and want to enroll myself in Cincinnati State to follow up with my blossoming culinary desires. I passionately plan to give back to the Community of Cincinnati because you have done so much for me … a complete stranger with nothing but encouraging words and smiling faces. A simple thank you, in my opinion, wouldn’t begin to suffi ce. I have to make a tangible diff erence. Cincinnati has great places that are all about breaking the cycle of homeless. I am living breathing proof. I believe the only way I can thank everyone who helped me is to join their ranks in the fi ght against homelessness. To be part of the solution for the people who need it most. Thank you, Cincinnati, for giving a complete stranger faith in humanity. Joseph Harmon is a newcomer to Cincinnati. He is originally from Louisville.

SCHOOL NEWS Winton Woods takes part in ‘A Night of Freedom’ Winton Woods City Schools students, families and community members made an appearance at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center for its third annual “A Night of Freedom” event on March 7. Students from all seven schools gave powerful academic project presentations, musical performances, and contributed to the visual arts gallery walk. The exhibitions and performances were followed by award ceremonies focused on the sensitive subject of freedom. “This was the fi rst time I attended ‘A Night of Freedom’ and the freedom center,” said Forest Park Offi cer Rebecca Davis. “Upon entering, the fi rst thing I heard was music being performed beautifully. The event was very well attended and excitement fl owed through all three levels of the building. ... “Two particular displays caught my interest. The fi rst was the artwork students crafted with glass. Not only was the work beautiful but the summaries of what it meant to the creators was powerful. The second was the display about women who fought/fi ght for freedom. The young ladies that prepared the project knew the works of each woman, and it was clear they had admiration for the women they researched.” The culmination of the evening was the award ceremony featuring several musical performances. The Global Awareness Award was presented to the students whose projects best connected global awareness and/or a current global issue to the themes found in the Freedom Center. The Innovation Award was presented to the students who had a creative and innovative approach to learn from the past to address current local and/or global issues surrounding freedom and individual rights. The Creativity Award was presented to the artists who, through their art form, inspired freedom or used art to communicate to others the important words and ideas of the peacemakers of our world, both past and present. The Inspiring Freedom Award was presented to the students whose projects embodied the ultimate ideal of the Eternal Flame of Freedom and emboldened the community to take part in advocating for freedom.

Princeton Music Boosters get national recognition Sharonville – Princeton City Schools and the Princeton Music Boosters have been honored with the Advocacy in Action Award for Outstanding ParentBooster Engagement Program from Music for All Inc. for its outstanding commitment to music education. The Advocacy in Action Award designation is presented to music programs, schools and communities across the United States that demonstrate outstanding achievement in eﬀ orts to provide access to music education for all students. To qualify for the Advocacy in Action Award designation, Princeton Music Boosters submitted a detailed description of its music program and its Private Music Lesson Scholarships program.

Submissions were then reviewed by a panel of educators, administrators, and community and business leaders. Kristen Brown, Princeton’s Music Department Chair said, “The most special thing about Princeton Music is the way it empowers students for college, career and life success by fostering creativity, confi dence, problem solving, perseverance, collaboration, dedication, and accountability.” Research indicates that student engagement in sequential music learning improves brain function while developing empathy, self-confi dence and collaboration. Additionally, students of the arts show higher attendance, graduations rates, and academic achievement, compared to non-arts peers. The Princeton City School District has over 6,000 students. Over 1,100 of them are involved in its music programs in some form. Having almost 70% of the district’s students on free or reduced lunches, the job of the Princeton Music Boosters is a critical one: to help as many students as possible to achieve a high degree of success in music. “Princeton Music is tradition. The Music hallway unites our middle school and high school buildings, literally coming together at the heart of our campus, Viking Village and Matthews Auditorium. The quality of music our students and staff produce is award winning,” said Tom Burton, Superintendent. Jodi Kessler

On-track collision gets happy ending Roger Bacon senior gives up race to check on student he ran into Melanie Laughman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Roger Bacon runner demonstrated that some types of winning are more important than others. Roger Bacon senior sprinter Keith Gause had already won fi rst place in the 100-meter dash and with the 4x200 relay team at the April 10 Norwood Invitational meet. Favored to win the 200 race, he had plans to accelerate after making the turn until he saw someone in the middle of his lane. A Winton Woods student walked onto the track and into Gause, who couldn’t stop in time to avoid the contact. “I had to react very quickly, which meant I had to brace myself for the collision. My immediate reaction was not very sportsman like at all. I threw my arms in the air because I knew this random guy just cost me a fi rst-place fi nish,” he wrote in an email to the Enquirer. They learned very quickly the student had a disability, said Brandon Spaeth, Roger Bacon assistant athletic director. That student received immediate medical attention and Gause ended up not fi nishing the race to check on him. “For a minute or two at the most, I was not thinking about who the ‘random guy’ was. After I had calmed down, I immediately went over to check on the young man to see if he was okay. He said he was okay but I know the impact hurt him,” Gause wrote. “I shook his hand because I didn’t want him to feel any worse than he already did. I then went to put on my Roger Bacon gear and walked back over to check on him a second time to give him a hug. I told him to stay strong and that I forgave him because the race became not as important after the collision.” See TRACK, Page 2B

“I shook his hand because I didn’t want him to feel any worse than he already did. I then went to put on my Roger Bacon gear and walked back over to check on him a second time to give him a hug. I told him to stay strong and that I forgave him because the race became not as important after the collision.”

The ultimate “baseball Dad” Mark Murray had his day planned April 5. It would be ﬁ ve innings of baseball at Northern Kentucky University to watch son Jake play for the Norse, then oﬀ to Colerain to work concessions with his wife, Sherry, while Cardinals senior Luke Murray played. ESPN Plus carried the NKU/Wright State game that day, so while Sherry was grilling hamburgers, Mark could keep an eye on his college son. Suddenly, those gathered around the concessions could hear Mark yelling, “Get out here! Get out of here!” It had nothing to do with rude manners or poor customer service. “I saw Jake swing and I knew he hit it pretty good,” Mark Murray said. “I’m screaming in the concession stand. People were looking at me going, ‘What are you talking about?’ I got some funny looks at that one.” Jake Murray had just popped a ball out of Bill Akers Field at NKU. Minutes later, Sherry took a break from the grill and joined her husband to watch younger son Luke step to the plate against Lakota West. Roughly 20 miles from where Jake Murray had gone yard for the Norse, Luke Murray clubbed a round-tripper for Colerain sending their parents into a celebratory frenzy. “It was just great, really great,” Sherry Murray said. “A really proud moment. I might have shed a little tear.” Jake Murray, an NKU junior, was the 2015 Greater Miami Conference Player of the Year for Colerain after winning the league’s triple crown with a .467 average, seven homers and 38 runs batted in. He began at the University of Cincinnati, then went to UC Clermont for a pair of monster seasons that eventually earned him his Division I See BROTHERS, Page 2B

His composure and actions earned him a standing ovation and repeated praise from fans in the stands. “What I saw last night was the coolest moment in my four years at Roger Bacon. First, I am very happy both students came out of the collision with no injuries. We constantly preach to our students to ‘do the right thing’ and Keith’s sportsmanship he demonstrated last night was a perfect example of that,” Spaeth said. “Keith may have not won the race but he deﬁ nitely won in a more important way last night. It was incredibly heartwarming to me to also see that his ac-

tions did not go unnoticed as after he went and checked on the student; the crowd stood up and gave him a welldeserved round of applause. I walked out of the stadium with Keith and his family and the amount of people in the stands that stopped him and applauded him for his actions was simply awesome.” What makes his positive attitude and ability to compose himself more remarkable is that the meet started at 4 p.m. and this was one of the last races of the hours-long meet. “Keith displayed the sportsmanship and composure in a diﬃ cult situation that we hope all student-athletes can embody,” Roger Bacon athletic director Steve Rossi said. “We are extremely proud of Keith and the team right now.”

Fifteen days after decommitting from the University of Maryland, La Salle wrestling standout and twotime state-champion, Lucas Byrd, has found a new collegiate destination. Byrd announced his commitment to the University of Illinois on April 10 via Twitter. “After talking it over with my family, friends & coaches I have decided to continue my academic & athletic career at The University of Illinois! I have created a bond with the coaching staff at Illinois,” Byrd said in his tweet. The La Salle senior became the fi rst two-time state champion in Lancer wrestling history last month when he captured the 120-pound state championship. Byrd also won the 113-pound state championship as a junior. In addition to his personal state championships, he helped lead La Salle to runner-up fi nishes in both the state dual tournament and the individual tournament this past season. “Lucas Byrd is one of a kind.

opportunity with the Norse. Despite missing some games with an injury, his homer April 5 was his second of the season. With a pair of homers last season, Luke Murray has had two early this season with a walk-off March 23 plus Friday’s big fl y fi nale (at the time of this article’s original publication date). With a bigger build than Jake, he’s a right-handed catcher, compared to his lefty outfi eld brother. Neither knew of the other’s heroics until after their games. “I’d like to think mine went further,” Luke said with confi dence. “It was a really cool feeling because our ages are so far apart and I’ve never really been big enough to be playing at the same time (with Jake).” Luke has now surpassed Jake in size and doesn’t mind pointing it out in a good-natured way. In honor of his brother, he’s using Jake’s 2015 DeMarini Voodoo bat, which apparently has plenty of thump left. “I’d like to say I’m a little bit stronger than him, maybe better looking,” Jake Murray said grinning. “He’s got the

size on me; he can throw me around a little bit. It’s not a huge rivalry, more of a friendly brother rivalry.” Jake Murray blasted nine total high school homers, so Luke has fi ve to go to tie and six for lifetime bragging rights. Next season, the “Mashing Murrays” could go back-to-back in the same game as Luke has committed to NKU, where Jake will be a senior. That would cut down on miles on the Murray GMC Denali. It also might send Mark Murray into a dinger dance heretofore never seen anywhere from Alexandria, Kentucky, to Colerain Township. Though Sherry may be more vocal, the brothers agree a ball over the wall sends Pop over the top. “I hope they can both play together and we won’t have to try to be in two places at one time all the time,” Sherry Murray said. Should the Murrays pull off the backto-back brotherly bash next year, Luke Murray already has the scenario. “Oh for sure, I’d hit the fi rst one,” he said. Added Jake Murray, “I can’t wait. I consider my brother my best friend. We have a great relationship. We both love baseball. To get to shoot it out with him for one year is exciting. He’s grown a lot as a baseball player and a young man and I think we can get it done.”

absolute machine,” La Salle coach Ryan Root said following the senior’s 120pound state-championship win. “The hardest working kid in the room, probably, that I’ve ever seen. I can’t say enough about him and at the same time, it doesn’t even compare to what he is as an individual. He’s a class act all the way. He’s a quality, quality person. A good leader, a good representative of La Salle High School and I’ll say, I think, of Ohio wrestling.” Byrd was originally committed to the Maryland and even signed with the Terrapins in November; but following Maryland coach Kerry McCoy’s departure in March, both Byrd and Maryland decided to part ways. “Maryland was super easy. They agreed; they probably weren’t happy about it, but Maryland is looking out for what’s best for me and their athletes,” Byrd told the Enquirer and Cincinnati. com in March. “Maryland, it could have been a really hard process but they made it easy. It wasn’t super stressful.” Byrd is one of the most sought-after wrestling prospects in the country. Flowrestling.com ranks him as the No. 1 120-pound wrestler in the nation.

YOUR HEALTH with Dr. Owens

A healthy smile for babies is part of a healthy start The first smile is a milestone that can warm your heart. After many long and often sleep-deprived nights, suddenly your baby turns to you and grins.

O’dell M. Owens, MD, MPH President & CEO

But a baby’s smile is so much more—it has an important role in his or her lifelong health. Baby teeth are vital for chewing foods and speech. They prepare the mouth and jaw for permanent teeth as well. Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic diseases among children today—the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that about 1 in 5 kids ages 5 to 11 have untreated tooth decay.Yet we know that proper oral health early in a child’s life can also reduce problems later on. What parents and caregivers can do: • Clean your baby’s mouth after feedings—even before the first teeth come in. Wipe the gums with a soft, clean cloth. • Once baby’s teeth come in, brush them with a small amount of fluoride toothpaste on a small, soft-bristled brush. brush All children should be br brushing teeth for two minutes, two times per day. •Don’t put babies to sleep with b bottles of formula or sugary drinks, as this can lead to to ooth decay. Wait until baby is 1 year old before serving juice.

Glendale named Tree City USA for 23rd year Dan Lambe, president of the Arbor Day Foundation, contacted Mayor Lofty and the Glendale Park Board with his congratulations in Glendale’s recent recognition as a Tree City USA. This is Glendale’s 23rd consecutive Tree City USA award. The award is given to communities that demonstrate a commitment to eﬀ ective urban forest management based on four criteria .: a tree board, a tree-care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters. “If there is ever a time for trees, now is that time” said Lambe. “Glendale is stepping up to do its part.” This spring, Mayor Lofty and the Glendale Park Board are sponsoring a discount tree canopy program where select street-quality trees of large species may be purchased by residents for their private property. All a resident needs to do is call the selected professional nursery, choose a program tree or trees and it will be delivered, planted, mulched, fed, staked and given a oneyear warranty at a reduced price. More information about the tree canopy is available at www.glendaleohio.org/ parkboard.html. In addition, 500 tree seedlings were provided to the Glendale residents free of charge in March.
