‘FATBERG’

Causes sewage spill, Winton Woods Lake shutdown Rachel Berry Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date: June 6. A so-called fatberg caused sewage to overfl ow into Winton Lake this week. The lake remains closed, so the sewage spill can be cleaned up. A fatberg is a large, solid blockage that forms inside a sewer system. This one was made of grease, wipes and other waste that wedged into spaces between tree roots, clogging the sewer. The fatberg was about 15 inches in diameter and 2 feet wide. Fatbergs have caused sewer issues both in the U.S. and abroad. USA TODAY reported on a 210-foot fatberg in England in January. Two years ago, in Baltimore, a sewer overfl ow was blamed on a mass of oil, wet wipes and other garbage. In London, the utility Thames Water revealed in 2017 it had fi nally broken up a "fatberg" measuring 800 feet long and weighing 130 tons. The Winton Woods Lake overfl ow halted, and the blockage was cleared out of the pipes on Tuesday, said Deb Leonard, spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati. The MSD used a high-pressure jet to blast out the fatberg. The parts that were broken off continued downstream to MSD’s treatment plant, and larger, solid materials were taken from the pipes for disposal at a landfi ll. The MSD is still removing roots from the pipes and "cleaning and disinfecting the ground between the manhole and the park’s on-site retention pond," Leonard said. They pumped out the contents of the pond and are re-fi lling it with clean water. It's too early to tell if any health risks or environmental impact resulted from the spill, said Nikki Ferrell, spokeswoman for the Great Parks of Hamilton County. A second spill occurred south of W

Greater Cincinnati-based laminate and surfacing products maker Formica Group has been sold to a Dutch holding company for $840 million. The deal aff ects 500 local employees and 3,500 worldwide. Formica has been the property of a New Zealandbased building products manufacturer. Besides the local factory and headquarters in Evendale, north of Cincinnati, Formica operates a plant in Canada and fi ve plants each in Europe and Asia. The company generated $325 million in sales last year. Broadview Holding, a Netherlandsbased industrial fi rm, is the new owner. Broadview is controlled by another holding company, HAL Holding N.V., based in Curaçao. The sale, fi rst announced in December, includes Formica businesses in North America, Europe, and Asia, as well as its Homapal metal laminates business. “This represents an exciting future for Formica Group, as we have a strong strategic alignment with Broadview,” said Mitch Quint, president of Formica Corporation North America. “Broadview has some industry-leading technologies in their portfolio and we’re excited for the growth opportunities that brings to the Formica businesses.” Founded in Cincinnati in 1913, it began as a company focused on making plastic insulation materials – its namesake was derived from being a replacement "for mica," a mineral commonly used for insulation in electric industries. The company fl ourished in the mid-20th Century following the postwar building boom when it became better known for its decorative kitchen countertops and fl ooring that were low-cost, easy-to-clean and heat-resistant. The company has changed ownership numerous times since the 1980s and fi led bankruptcy early in the millennium before being acquired by Fletcher Building in 2007.

How this Cincinnati native is trying to save a Broadway icon The “problem” he’s talking about is really more of a curiosity. It seems there is this huge divide in the way audiences perceive “Cats” and the way theater professionals do. In general, audiences adore the show. It ran in London’s West End for a staggering 21 years. On Broadway, it made it to 18 years. But theater professionals? A surprising number of them loathe the show. Several people I spoke with declined to go on the record about their dislike of the show. But to say that their reactions were visceral is an understatement.

David Lyman Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

James Allen calls it “The ‘Cats’ problem.” He’s not talking about household pets. He means the Broadway show, which opened a weeklong run at the Aronoﬀ Center June 11. Allen is a theater composer, a guy who writes everything from incidental music for dramatic presentations to fullﬂ edged musicals. He has analyzed and studied musicals and why they work – or don’t – far more than most of us ever will.

Allen is somewhere in the middle when it comes to “Cats.” “You have to forget your training and years of dramaturgical analysis when you go see ‘Cats.’ You have to leave all that at the door. There’s no three-act plot structure. There’s none of the musical development that Rodgers & Hammerstein and Sondheim initiated. But it’s a lot of fun.” Actor/playwright Trey Tatum, though, had no such compunction about speaking out. “I just don’t understand why people keep going to see it,” he says. “This thing has no story, it has weird dances by hypersexualized cats, the ﬁ nale is a space-

He recently saw “Miss Saigon” at the Aronoﬀ and thought it was fabulous. “I’m not opposed to melodrama, I’m not opposed to sappy, I’m not opposed to farce and I’m not opposed to no story,” says Tatum. “I just like good storytelling.

Cats Continued from Page 2A

est version of “Cats” may sway some of the doubters. Blankenbuehler is the Cincinnati-raised, Tony Award-winning choreographer of “Hamilton” and “In the Heights.” He’s also the guy who was hired to pump new life into the choreography of this new “Cats.” There is much about the production that traditionalists will like. It has the same music and the same costumes, though both have been tweaked to make the show tighter and more streamlined than the 1981 original. The biggest changes are to be found in Blankenbuehler’s choreography. And even that hasn’t been a wholesale change. When director Trevor Nunn set out to rework the show for its 2016 Broadway revival – the same version that is coming here – he wanted to spruce up the choreography, to give it a diﬀ erent energy. Naturally, he wanted to involve the original choreographer, the

late Gillian Lynne, who was 90 at the time. The big question was, was Lynne the best one to update the dancing? Nunn decided to reach out to Blankenbuehler. Not only is Blankenbuehler a particularly smart choreographer, but he is a legendarily nice guy. If anyone could make the potentially awkward situation work, it would be Blankenbuehler. “It was an interesting challenge,” admits Blankenbuehler. “At fi rst, Gillian and I were not on the best of terms. But when I started to work and got into the day-to-day choreographic trenches, we became really good friends.” Blankenbuehler kept the most memorable and iconic sections of Lynne’s choreography. But he redid almost everything else. “In the end, she treated me like a partner,” says Blankenbuehler. “We became really good friends.” The movement was classic Lynne. But the way that movement was manipulated was all Blankenbuehler. Where Lynne might have had 15 people dancing in unison, Blankenbuehler would use just fi ve, then wrap the other 10 dancers around them in a sort of choreographic frame. It’s a complex technique that he used to enormous success in “Hamilton.” And it’s one that makes the onstage action of “Cats” much more vivacious and eyecatching. “I think it makes the show a little spicier,” he says. In truth, Blankenbuehler’s infl uence went much, much deeper. He proposed dozens of structural changes that were eventually incorporated into the show. A couple of musical numbers were moved to diff erent places in the show. The movement in two others – “Mr. Mistoff elees” and “The Rum Tum Tugger” – was completely new. “I really like the show the way it is now,” says Blankenbuehler. “It’s tighter and sharper. But it’s still that same show that opened in London so long ago. I think people who loved it back then will still love it. And who knows? Maybe those skeptics will give it a second chance now."

In addition to supporting classwork and projects, the center will make possible the implementation of a capstone curriculum for all Wyoming High School students. “The center and the capstone curriculum will allow for the integration of content from divergent disciplines to cultivate the inventive spirit of all Wyoming High School students, inviting risk, welcoming failure and allowing students to learn from both,” said Dr. Lang. “The Dan Jones Center for Research and Innovation will diﬀ erentiate Wyoming High School from every other high school in the country.” Suzy Henke

Winton Woods students give ‘Sight for Sore Eyes’ A group of Winton Woods City Schools students are putting their minds together for the better. The Project Success scholars partnered with “Sight for Sore Eyes Service Project,” a program dedicated to collecting eyewear for those aﬀ ected by Hurricane Maria. Seniors Romello Martin and Ma’Niya Linkous say this is not their ﬁ rst time partnering with an organization to help and it certainly will not be their last. “I believe if we have the resources, we should provide,” said Linkous. “It’s so important to give, I believe it’s necessary.”

Students worked together to create and distribute fl yers for items to be dropped off throughout the district. In two months, students collected over 80 pairs of eyeglasses for the organization. The “Sight for Sore Eyes Service Project” South Bronx Director Dr. Alevi and his team hope to return to Ponse in the late spring of 2019 to hold another eyeglass clinic and distribute more glasses to those residents in need. “It’s cool to see how we can make a diff erence and how far our eff orts can reach,” said Martin. When asked if they had anything else to share, Linkous said to start giving in your community and then to the world, stay positive and be kind. Drew Jackson

The Facts About Hearing Loss ADVERTISEMENT

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hearing is essential to healthy relationships

A 2010 survey found that in marriages where a spouse has a hearing loss both partners suffer. It is frustrating to not be able to be heard and understood. It may seem that your spouse is intentionally ignoring you when she actually can't hear you. This can lead to many relationship problems. Some of the study participants said that the hearing loss had actually made them consider leaving the marriage. This is especially concerning since over one third of people over 65 have significant hearing loss. "The years after 65 are supposed to be some of the best for relationships. Spouses who are empty-nesters should be enjoying each other in retirement activities and enjoying the grandchildren." says Dr. Scott Beall Au.D., the owner of 38 local Miracle-Ear® hearing aid centers. "Every day we see the stress that hearing loss causes in the family; from hurt feelings, to feelings of inadequacy, to deep fears about mental decline. The intimacy that should be there in a marriage just erodes away. It doesn't have to be this way. When we address the problem with proper hearing solutions, their lives just light up. That's why we say that we help people 'Listen to Life' again."

Summer in a jar: Making jams from scratch Homemade strawberry jam Don’t be put off by the amount of sugar. It’s necessary to make the jam jell. And don’t double the batch, either. Everything must be measured exactly. It’s all about the right amount of each ingredient. Ingredients 5 cups thoroughly crushed strawberries (measure after crushing - I crush them in my food processor) 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 box powdered fruit pectin, not low sugar 7 cups sugar 7-8 jelly jars, 8 oz. each with seals and rings Instructions

You’ve heard the phrase hamming it up. But have you ever heard jamming it up? Well, that’s what this week was like at my house. So many sun ripened strawberries, some from my plants and most from neighbor, Erin Phillip’s garden. I made more strawberry shrub drinks, strawberry pies, and still had pounds left over. Time to get jammin. Making jam from the berries is a simple, yet a bit time consuming task. So I called in the troops. Grandkids Jack and Eva spent time in my kitchen, cleaning, capping, slicing berries, and, ultimately, making jam. The kids were in awe of the science of jam making. The berries start the cooking process

with a pinkish color. As they cook and the jelling point is reached, a bright, jewel-like red color emerges. Needless to say, both are proud of their new jam making skills and each took home six jars of yummy jam. Looks like you’ve got some nice strawberries, too, since I’ve gotten requests to make my homemade strawberry jam again. It tickles me, really, to know you want to make jams from scratch. Summer in a jar. When you open one on a snowy, bone-chilling day and the aroma of strawberries wafts out, you’ll know what I mean.

Can you help? Like Dilly Deli’s bread pudding. Missy B., an Anderson township reader, adores the Deli’s bread pudding. Do you have a clone or something close to it? Please share.

Sterilize jars and keep them hot. (I do this in the dishwasher). Put seals and rings in a pan of simmering, not boiling, water on the stove. Combine strawberries, lemon juice and pectin in a great big pan. I use an old fashioned jelly pan, but an 8 quart pot will work.

Strawberry jam.

Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Add sugar all at once, stirring constantly. Bring to a hard, full, rolling boil, one that cannot be stirred down. Boil hard 1 minute. Remove from heat and skim off foam if necessary. (And that foam is not to be wasted! Spread on a piece of soft white bread). Pour into jars, leaving 1⁄ 4” head space. Wipe rims with clean, wet cloth. Place seals and rings on jars. Turn jars upside down for 5 minutes to kill any bacteria that may be on the inside of the lid. Turn jars right side up. Check lids for seals after 24 hours. Lid should not flex up and down when center is pressed. If the jar doesn’t seal, just store in refrigerator. Jam stays good up to a year in the pantry. Tip: Frozen, thawed, unsweetened, strawberries can be used.

St. Xavier wins state DI volleyball title Melanie Laughman and Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

St. Xavier High School volleyball faced a familiar foe in the state Division I championship match Sunday in Greater Catholic League-South rival Moeller. The Bombers, coached by 1994 graduate Bill Ferris, came away with the title, winning 3-1 June 2 at Capital University. “We achieved our program’s 500th overall win during the regular season, this is our third state title, and I can think of no better present for all the alumni who have played for X through the years than to give them the gift of a state championship, this year in particular,” Ferris said. Moeller took the fi rst game 25-19, but St. Xavier took the fi nal three 25-22, 2521 and 35-33 to win. They beat the Crusaders three times this season. “Advancing to play Moeller in the fi nals gave me a bit of unease because of the way they played against us in our last match of the regular season, a fi veset battle at St. X that we barely held on to win.,” Ferris said. “Couple that with their state experience from last year, and all of us coaches knew it was going to be a do-whatever-it-takes fi ght for the championship.” The Bombers, ranked No. 2 in the May 18 Ohio High School Boys Volleyball Association poll, beat the No. 1-ranked Hilliard Darby 3-0 in the semifi nal morning match June 2. Darby had beat St. Xavier in the regular season. “Darby had thoroughly beaten us a month earlier during the regular season, and we needed to improve, so we spent a lot of time over the preceding week focusing on our game plan against them,” Ferris said. “ Most of our adjustments for Darby were on the defensive side of

the net, blocking and digging.” Coached by Matt McLaughlin, Moeller advanced to the fi nal game after beating Mt. Vernon 3-0. Capping off the win over the Crusaders was a lengthy fi nal set, taken by the Bombers 35-33. Ferris called it one of the wildest he’s ever seen. “We had reached our limit of substitutions, and we had been out of timeouts for about 12 points with the season on the line,” Ferris explained. “ Both of

those at the same time has never happened to me, and when that happens, the ability to make adjustments is all but gone. The players on the ﬂ oor need to do whatever is required of them for the team to succeed. I’m very proud of how we fought in that last set. In that situation, those players on the court were going to have to do it. I was comfortable with those we had out there, and they came through.” St. Xavier loses ﬁ ve seniors from this

championship squad. Setter Leo Kastner was a year-varsity player who was fi rst team all-region and honorable mention all-state.

St. Xavier lacrosse falls in DI lacrosse ﬁ nal Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

DELAWARE - For the second time in as many years, St. Xavier High School appeared in the Ohio Division I boys lacrosse state championship at Ohio Wesleyan. This time they had to board the bus with the less desirable runner-up trophy. Dublin Coff man came out fi ring on all cylinders racing out to four straight goals before St. Xavier lit one up on the toteboard. It was 10-5 at the half and the Bombers never led in the contest as the Shamrocks hoisted the OHSAA hardware for the fi rst time with a 13-8 victory. Senior attack Evan James led Coff man with fi ve goals as his team fi nished a 22-1 season in glee. St. Xavier fi nishes 17-7 with their fi rst loss since an April 27 defeat against Brother Rice of Michigan. “We had an extremely diffi cult schedule, but they were good, for sure,” St. Xavier coach Nate Sprong said. “They were better than us today, for sure. Their strength is their high scoring off ense. No. 3 and No. 8 (NIck Harris and Evan James) are going to Loyola and No-

tre Dame. (They’re) obviously really good players and they have a supporting cast around them as well.” The Shamrocks came in know for their lightning-quick speed and scoring prowess and did not disappoint early as James scored oﬀ the opening face-oﬀ within 12 seconds and again less than a

minute into the contest forcing an early St. Xavier timeout. Coff man’s lead would grow to four until the 5:54 mark when Noah Reidy found a slit in the defense registering the fi rst Bombers goal. Coff man would answer, then St. Xavier would score the fi rst two goals of the second quarter behind Trevor Gilmore and Garrett Romaine to make it 5-3. The “Rocks” would then roll again seizing momentum again. By half ’s end, the Coff man lead was 10-5 thanks to James scoring his fourth goal of the night with just a second before the last game pizza specials were announced over the PA. After three periods, Coff man’s lead stood at 12-6. In the fourth, St. Xavier made a fi nal push but ran out of time as the Shamrocks sticks and gloves went fl ying in the air in celebration with the 13-8 decision. “It was just one of those nights where it didn’t seem breaks were going our way,” Sprong said. “We were fi ghting. We fought to the end. I was proud of the guys but sometimes things don’t work out.”

The Bombers have 23 juniors on the roster who left dejected but will have an opportunity to return to Selby Stadium again. One of those is Noah Reidy, who had a pair of goals. “They’re a really good team, they definitely deserve it,” Reidy said. “They played a lot harder than us. We just had some tough breaks. We are a majority junior team, I wish we would have had this one, but we’ll be back next year.” Last year’s Bombers fi nished 19-3. This year’s version had more losses, but only one was in the state of Ohio (Cleveland St. Ignatius). The others came against New Trier (Winnetka, Illinois), MICDS (St. Louis), Louisville St. Xavier, Louisville Trinity and Brother Rice (Bloomfi eld Hills, Michigan). “We replaced 10 starters this year,” Sprong said. “We had a lot of growth throughout the season and bring just about everyone back on the starting team.” The Bombers had to drive 108 miles further than their opponents as Coff man High School is just a tad over 17 miles and 26 minutes from Selby Stadium at Ohio Wesleyan.

Nak'emon Williams had a storybook tenure at Kings High School that included four school records. But the special mention All-State and fi rst-team all-district running back's grand prep career did not end with a showing at the OHSAA Track and Field Tournament as there was still a gridiron encore. Playing in his home stadium for the fi nal time, Williams ran for two touchdowns in the 44th issue of the Southwestern Ohio Football Coaches Association Ron Woyan East-West All-Star Game to lead the East in a 39-7 drubbing over its West counterparts, Thursday night in Deerfi eld Township. East has now won fi ve straight and 12 of the last 13 contests and leads the alltime series, 26-18. Thursday, June 6 marked East's largest margin of victory in the history of the game. Seven of East's prior 11 victories in the rivalry came by one possession. Williams, a two-time fi rst-team Eastern Cincinnati Conference selection, opened the game's scoring with a 75yard touchdown run — his third-longest rush at home of his carer after an 87yard burst against Lakota East in 2017 and an 89-yard gallop versus Anderson last September. Williams just missed inking his name in the SWOFCA All-Star game record books, as the longest touchdown run in the series history went for 81 yards in 2007 by Hughes' Montez Patterson. Williams' eight-yard score early in the second quarter gave East a 13-0 advantage. It was another year of defensive dominance for East, which has allowed only 63 points (12.6 per game) over its fi ve-game winning streak since yielding

a series-high 63 points in West's last victory (2014). East racked up multiple sacks as West's aerial attack failed to fi nd any traction with Taft's Cleveland Farmer and Mount Healthy's Michael Crawford being held to under 100 combined passing yards. There had been four previous shutouts in series history, with only one belonging to East (an 18-0 victory in 1997). West was able to avoid the game's fi rst goose-egg since 2006 when Mount Healthy running back Ty Mincy's oneyard scoring plunge in the fourth quarter made it 33-7. East was able to break the game open with help from its special teams. Sycamore's Brian Doneghy had 15 touchdowns over a three-year career with the Aviators, including a pair of pick-sixes last season. But the running back/defensive back had never found pay-dirt on special teams until Thursday, June 6 when he blocked a pair of punts and returned one for a six-yard second-quarter score that made it 20-0 heading into the intermission. East struck again on special teams to open the second half. Walnut Hills' wide receiver Andre Allen Jr. set a SWOFCA All-Star game record with a 91-yard kickoff return to make it 27-0. The previous mark was an 80-yard return, set by Northwest's Dominick Williams in 2013. Western Brown dual-threat quarterback Josh Taylor, who combined for over 4,000 yards from scrimmage and 26 touchdowns last season, raced in from 24 yards out to give East a 33-0 advantage. Waynesville's Anthony Carmichael supplied the game's only passing touchdown with an 18-yard toss to Princeton's Jermaine Wimpye to cap the night's scoring.

June Savings Offer!

Dear Cincinnati-Dayton Homeowner, Renewal by Andersen® windows are made from Fibrex® material, an Andersen-exclusive composite that combines the strength and stability of wood with the lowmaintenance features of vinyl.

Whether it’s a casement window, bay window, French-style door, or anything in between, Renewal by Andersen windows are built with Andersen’s exclusive Fibrex composite material, and one of four unique glass options that help with energy efficiency, temperature, and light control.

Sincerely,

Plus, our windows are backed by one of the strongest limited warranties in the industry. That’s why more than 15,000 Cincinnati-Dayton homeowners prefer our Fibrex windows over vinyl.

Reading resident Bob Wimmers recognized by Ronald McDonald House for his service Reading resident Bob Wimmers was recently recognized by Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Cincinnati as a Heart of the House award winner. This award recognizes a volunteer who has gone above and beyond in their support of the guest families living at Ronald McDonald House. Bob has volunteered more than 1,300 hours at the House in three years. Bob’s commitment to keeping the House clean and safe for the guest families staying there is critical for their long-term health and well-being. “Bob recognizes the importance of all the little things that we need to do to take of our families,” says Mike Weinberg, Director of Volunteers at the House. “He will do whatever it takes to ease the stress of our guests. He knows that a germ that you or I may be able to ﬁ ght oﬀ without a problem could be deadly to a child with a critical illness, so he is committed to keeping our House as clean as possible And he does it with such a welcome smile that we are all lucky to have him here.” Bob was recognized for this achievement at the House’s annual Volunteer Recognition Event, which celebrates all of the volunteers who regularly support the House. The organization has more than 330 regular volunteers. Kristen Klein
