Arlington Gardens to open funeral home Jeanne Houck

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Arlington Memorial Gardens is opening a funeral home and cremation center at its Springﬁ eld Township location in late fall or early winter. Other facilities yet to be determined will open later at the new $4 million “Celebration of Life Campus” on 6.5 acres along the western edge of the cemetery at 2145 Compton Road. Daniel Applegate, president and CEO of Arlington Memorial Gardens, said the additions are in response to evolving American death-care rituals driven in part by the wider acceptance of cremation. He also said many people like bundled services, and combining cemetery and funeral home services should appeal to them. “We work very hard to live our purpose: ‘to be the model for creating experiences that celebrate life,’ ” Applegate wrote in an email. “This new venture provides us with opportunities to provide meaningful services and experiences for those we’re fortunate to serve.”

Details on funeral home Applegate said the new 6,000square-foot funeral home will include two visitation areas, a lounge, offi ces and other large spaces. It will off er traditional and more contemporary services – including technology to allow people who cannot attend in person to monitor the proceedings via computer. Arlington Memorial Gardens’ website – amgardens.org – already allows people to take virtual tours of the cemetery and fi nd where loved ones are located. On site, people can use their smartphones or other electronic devices for step-by-step instructions to them. The new cremation center planned for the Celebration of Life Campus initially will be about 3,000-square-feet large and probably will be enlarged in the future, Applegate said By the funeral home and cremation center will be a patio area with ponds as

a backdrop and a gazebo to accommodate outdoor gatherings. There also will be parking for 170 vehicles. While the new funeral home and cremation center are under construction, Applegate said, Arlington Memorial

Gardens will oﬀ er funeral and planning services in its existing administration building.

Cemetery is 85 years old The cemetery was founded in 1934.

Its 165 acres host 29 diﬀ erent gardens of graves featuring themes of Christianity, patriotism and world peace. The gardens have marble and granite memorials by sculptors Dominic Zappia and Aldo Buttini, both natives of Italy. Buttini died in 1957. Zappia was living in Kansas City, Missouri, when he died in 1964. Arlington Memorial Gardens has a mausoleum for above-ground entombment and a chapel on a small lake. Within the chapel are niches for funeral urns. The cemetery also has a ﬂ oral shop and a reception center for families to gather before or after services. The center is available for civic or social meetings and functions. Some walls in the reception center and in the administration building are used to display local residents’ art, which the public can view from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays and from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.

Catholics blame bishops for abuse problem Dan Horn

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Inside the offi ces of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati recently, the response among Catholic church leaders to the rape charges against the Rev. Geoff Drew was almost universally the same. “We were stunned,” said archdiocese spokesman Mike Schafer. “Just stunned.” Outside those offi ces, Catholics had a diff erent take. Instead of shock, the reaction on social media and in calls and emails to church offi ces veered from anger to frustration to resignation. Why does this keep happening, they asked, and when will it end? The response to Drew’s arrest from rank-and-fi le Catholics is a reminder that the specter of the clergy abuse crisis, which erupted almost two decades ago, still haunts the church and the bishops who lead it. Many Catholics didn’t see the priest’s arrest on charges of raping an altar boy 30 years ago as a terrible but isolated incident from the past. They saw it as part of a continuing problem. “If someone in authority at the church is accused of raping a boy, that should be shocking to everybody, except it wasn’t,” said Nick Baird, a Green Township Catholic who was a grade school student when he knew Drew in the mid-1990s. “Sad and heartbreaking are the emotions I felt,” he said.

Old cases keep bubbling up America’s bishops, including Cincinnati Archbishop Dennis Schnurr, want to turn the page on the clergy abuse crisis. They say the abuse that occurred decades ago is far less likely to happen today because the church has made protecting children a priority. Seminarians now get background checks and psychological screenings.

Priests, employees and volunteers must undergo training on abuse prevention. And new laws require immediate reporting of abuse allegations. “While the issue of priest abuse understandably feels like an ongoing problem, we do not believe that it is,” Schafer said. Yet millions of Catholics disagree. A Pew Research Center poll in June found 69 percent of U.S. Catholics believe reports of abuse today “refl ect ongoing problems that are still happening.” The poll also found those views have consequences: Roughly one in four Catholics said they go to Mass less often and donate less money to the church because of reports of child abuse. The bishops’ case has not been helped by recent high-profi le scandals, including a grand jury report in Pennsylvania that identifi ed 300 “predator priests” and the removal of Cardinal Theodore McCarrick for abusing a child in New Jersey. As in Drew’s case, most of those scandals involve accusations that go back years, or even decades. But the church’s failure to deal with them back then means they can bubble up at any time, sparking new outrage. Drew’s case is especially problematic because the church failed to act in 2013 and 2015 after receiving complaints

from parents about the priest’s “creepy” behavior, which included rubbing the shoulders and patting the knees of boys. Those complaints came in while Drew was pastor at St. Maximilian Kolbe in Liberty Township, but they did not follow him to St. Ignatius of Loyola in Green Township. Parishioners there didn’t ﬁ nd out about the old accusations until Drew got in trouble for texting a student this year. That’s when the archdiocese suspended him and launched an investigation, which, in turn, unearthed the rape charges.

'None of us were shocked' Schnurr apologized for mishandling the complaints, but for many at St. Ignatius and elsewhere, it was too late. The damage was done. “Don’t tell us you made a mistake. It’s constant and it’s ongoing, and that’s the problem,” said Teresa Dinwiddie-Herrmann, a St. Ignatius parishioner. She said no one she knows was surprised when prosecutors charged Drew with rape. Disappointed and angry, yes. But not surprised. “None of us were shocked,” she said. Baird said the news was especially painful for him, because he’s been wary of Drew since he was a child.

Though he wouldn’t discuss details because of the ongoing police investigation, Baird said he saw many of the same inappropriate behaviors at St. Jude in Bridgetown in the mid-1990s that parishioners at St. Maximilian and St. Ignatius would complain about years later. Baird, now 35, said he was never abused by Drew, but he quit being an altar boy at St. Jude in Bridgetown because of him. The man who accused Drew of raping him as a child was a St. Jude altar boy a few years before Baird was there. "I left because of Mr. Drew, because of how creepy and uncomfortable he made life sometimes,” Baird said. Drew, who was music minister at St. Jude, wasn’t a priest at the time. Years later, though, Baird saw him again when Drew visited Elder High School to talk to students about why he was studying to become a priest. “My heart sank,” Baird said. “A guy who is largely responsible for you not wanting to be an altar boy, and now he’s going to be a priest. It seems like a bad idea.” Critics of the church’s handling of the abuse crisis seized on Drew’s arrest as another example of the bishops’ failure to fi x the problem. Some called for reform, others for Schnurr’s resignation. Voice of the Faithful, a group born in the immediate aftermath of the abuse crisis, demanded greater transparency and more involvement by lay Catholics in church aff airs. “Our church continues to focus on healing without truth telling,” said Kathy Weyer, the group’s Cincinnati spokeswoman. “You cannot have real healing, which includes rebuilding the bonds of trust, without fi rst telling the truth.” Church offi cials say that’s what they’re doing. Changing policies is important, they say, but admitting mistakes and apologizing for them is part of the process, too. Baird said the church has a long way to go. He said he’s still Catholic and is raising his two children as Catholics, but his patience has limits. He said the disconnect between America’s bishops and the people they serve will cost the church if nothing is done to fi x it. “My generation is not going to be Catholic just because my parents and grandparents were,” he said. “If they want to maintain this generation of Catholics, they have to understand that.”

$2 million bond for Cincinnati suspect in Lawrenceburg shooting Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Cincinnati business owner is being held on a $2 million bond in connection to the Aug. 14 Lawrenceburg, Indiana, shooting, according to court records. Francisca Vazquez, 31, was recently arrested on armed robbery and kidnapping charges after shots were ﬁ red inside of Concepts Gentlemen's Club in Dearborn County.

No one was injured in the shooting, police said. There were a total of 10 people inside the club at the time of the attack. Vazquez lives in Cincinnati and is the owner of Springdale's Vazquez Barbershop and Salon. The $2 million bond was determined at Monday's initial hearing. Vazquez will be seen at a jury trial on Jan. 13, 2020. Two pretrial conferences have been set for September and December.

A new relief extract found in hemp is available across the nation and can be purchased without a prescription. And the best part, it comes to users in the form of a tasty gummy bear. So you can say goodbye to pills, needles, and creams! Hemp Gummies, contains pure concentrated doses of hemp extract, which can help relieve joint discomfort along with general muscle aches and soreness. It also calms, relaxes, and eases tension all over the body. Exciting new scientific research shows that hemp extract contains special relief molecules called cannabinoids which bind to receptor cites in the brain and body. When taken orally, hemp extract activates these receptors, and soothing comfort begins to take form.

Available Across the Nation Recent developments, like the US Farm Bill, allow Hemp Gummies to be sold in the U.S. without a prescription. And since it can’t get you high it’s flying off the shelves. “Most people have no idea that pure hemp extract, like Hemp Gummies, can be purchased. And that’s because it contains no THC,” explains Dr. Joe Wezensky, who sits on the scientific board at Medici Quest. “Instead, it’s bursting with special relief compounds called cannabinoids. These cannabinoids target special receptor cites all over the body but are most prominent in the brain.” “This system of cannabinoids and the receptors that they bind to are called the Endocannabinoid System and science is just now unlocking its amazing medical potential”

“In fact, the initial research has been so impressive that hemp extract is now patented by the US Government (patent #6,630,507).” “It’s also being used by athletes in the NFL, MMA among other physically demanding sports as a safe alternative.”

Clearing Up the Confusion Around Hemp One of the biggest mistakes people make when talking about hemp extract is mixing it up with marijuana. Although the two fall under the same plant category, cannabis sativa, they have completely different effects on the body. Remarkably, hemp extract is available in the U.S. and can’t get you high (ever!). That’s because there is no THC in it, the chemical that makes you feel “buzzed”. “Although you can’t get high from Hemp Gummies, you can start feeling the effective relief,” explains Wezensky. “Most people have very low cannabinoid levels, which is why they constantly ache. Hemp Gummies boosts cannabinoid

It also eases stress and elicits amazing relaxation without feeling impaired. And what most people really love is they’re delicious and so easy to take on the go.

How it Works Clinical studies show that cannabinoids and the receptors that they bind to are found all over your body. However, they are most concentrated in your brain. That’s why it has such a profound impact on how you feel, especially your level of comfort. These cannabinoids and their receptors work like “lock and key” and bind to each other triggering important biological processes.

Hemp Extract, like Hemp Gummies, may help users with... • Aching joints • Sore muscles • Cramping • Leg and foot discomfort • Restlessness • Stress • Sleep problems Keeps Your Body Balanced... The incredible impact cannabinoids have on your health is directly related to the primary goal of your Endocannabinoid System, which is to maintain a balance in the body, a physiological state known as homeostasis. Research shows that maintaining this balance is a key to vitality and healthy bodily function. The cannabinoids found in Hemp Gummies, hemp extract, replenish your levels quickly, easing discomfort over the entire body. Plus, by keeping your body in balance (homeostasis), Hemp Gummies also helps to relieve stress and tension...improve sleep... and even promote relaxation and calmness.

Not Yet Sold in Stores Hemp extract that is derived from industrial hemp, like Hemp Gummies, is available nationwide. However, several major pharmaceutical companies are currently testing hemp extract in clinical settings, which means it may require a prescription in the future. It’s advised to get Hemp Gummies while you can.

Taking All the Risk Off Consumers A large percentage of men and women using Hemp Gummies experience truly amazing results. That’s why it’s now being sold with a guarantee that goes way beyond the industry standard. “We can only make this guarantee because we are 100% certain our customers will be satisfied,” says Wezensky. We want to take full risk off consumers. So in addition to offering substantial discounts for first time customers, we also make them a huge promise that ensures they don’t have to risk a cent.” Here’s how it works: Take Hemp Gummies exactly as directed and you must be thrilled with the results!

One Stop to give vulnerable people immediate help Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Austin Cicchinelli suff ered from depression and addiction and swung from hopeful to despairing in a relentless cycle, his mother says. Amanda Cicchinelli tried desperately to get her son help every time he reached out. “It was a never-ending cycle of walls and barriers,” she said two years ago – just months after Austin died from a heroin and fentanyl overdose. He was 21. The struggle to get help quickly is familiar to families of people with addiction. And it can be frustrating, too, to those who head agencies that help vulnerable people like Austin. Now, some of them plan to do something about it. The Hamilton County Offi ce of Reentry, which bolsters inmates’ chances to stay out of jail after they’re released, is leading an eff ort to create a monthly resource center for people who must navigate the web-like system of service agencies just to get back on their feet. The One Stop center, expected to start late in September at the Hamilton County Justice Center, will provide at least a dozen services on-the-spot once a month for people with addiction or mental health issues, those leaving jail, the

homeless and others, said Trina Jackson, director of the reentry oﬃ ce. It’s supported by the Hamilton County Heroin Coalition and agencies that provide help across the county. One Stop might alternate locations, though it’s expected to start at the Hamilton County Justice Center, likely in September. Once there, people will be able to access needle exchange, mental health or addiction services, work out small probation issues, clear up a child-support issue, maybe get clothes or a bus pass or a bite to eat during yet-to-be-announced hours, and more. “We’re asking providers to provide a

service when that person is in front of them,” Jackson said. “Clear them ‘today.’ Amanda Cicchinelli said the concept sounds promising. “I love that idea,” she said. “My biggest issue is defi ning what that really means. I hate the whole pass-off thing. If you’re going to do it, you have to do it right.” She has experience with the struggle to get help, beyond her attempts to help her own son. After Austin died, Cicchinelli became an addiction counselor. And, with her nonprofi t Austin’s Hope, she helps people in recovery get past bureaucratic obstacles. That’s what One Stop is designed to do, said Newtown Police Chief Tom Synan, a coordinator with the Hamilton County Heroin Coalition. “We want to reduce the barriers,” he said. “As much as possible, on-the-spot.” Jackson said that speed of service is essential, because vulnerable people often have to clear up situations that went awry when they were using drugs or mentally unstable or in jail. And the way services are usually set up, it takes transportation, time and a lot of locations to accomplish even one task. “We want it to be now. You have a child support issue? We can mitigate that right now,” Jackson said. “Not like a job fair.” Sheriff Jim Neil has agreed to provide

space in the justice center for the operation, Jackson said, and key advocates have raised their hands to join. Among them are Talbert House, the Department of Job and Family Services, Society of St. Vincent DePaul, the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Aff airs, Caracole Inc., Hamilton County Public Health and the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. The concept isn’t untried. Hamilton County is modifying a similar Franklin County program called First Step, led in part by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections. “Coming home from prison or jail? On probation or parole? Or are you just looking for a new beginning?” First Step social media says. “Start out on the right foot!” The Columbus-based program off ers help from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Job and Family Services and Child Support offi ces, Legal Aid Society of Columbus and more to those who come during a four-hour period once a month to the Ohio Means Jobs offi ce. Amanda Cicchinelli remembers how fragile her son was whenever he was in early recovery. “When he was not doing drugs he suff ered a lot,” Cicchinelli she said. “It’s really hard when they’re saying, ‘I need help’ and ‘it’s an emergency’ because it is.”

Now you’ll have to go to taste on most of this. Ingredients 1 head Romaine lettuce, chopped 1 cucumber, diced small Several tomatoes, diced small Enough red onion, sliced very thin, to taste

Bell peppers? Up to you Dressing About 1⁄ 3 cup each: olive oil and lemon juice Cumin to taste Salt and pepper Za’atar for garnish (optional but good - can use sumac) Instructions Just mix salad ingredients together except for cheese.

Feta or goat cheese

Whisk dressing ingredients together and pour over salad.

Favorite olives (I like Greek)

Add cheese and sprinkle with za’atar.

I’ve been doing a lot of teaching from my gardens. A couple weeks ago, daughter-in-law Courtney and her neighbors visited with their kids. We spent time down at the river near our home looking for crawdads and shells. By the time we walked back on my old country road, the kids were anxious to do two things: feed the chickens crawdads and pick veggies and herbs for the supper recipes. When you give kids free reign in a garden, it’s pretty amazing to see how adventurous they become with trying new foods. Tomatoes, peppers, basil, parsley, and mint were picked for tabouleh. Cucumbers and more tomatoes, along with oregano and chives topped a Romaine salad. Stevia and lemon verbena added a citrusy, sweet taste to vitamin water. Edible fl owers garnished a Belgian endive water lily appetizer made with herbed cream cheese. Looked fancy, but easy enough for even the littlest ones. Recently, I had a class here again, this time with my friends cooking from the gardens. My husband, Frank, grilled fl at iron steak rubbed with an Italian herb blend I made, and my friends made the sides and dessert. Romaine lettuce starred again in one of the salads – this time with a Turkish twist. That’s the recipe I’m sharing today, and it goes by more than a few names, one of which is shepherd’s salad. Tip: Sumac vs za’atar First, let’s talk about sumac. (Last week I talked about edible wild staghorn sumac berries that grow on bushes here but the spice sumac for salad is completely diff erent). Sumac is a spice native to the Middle East. The dark red berries grow on bushes. The berries are dried and ground. Sumac lends lemony tartness to dishes and the color is beautiful. Za’atar is a spice blend with sumac and herbs, like oregano, thyme and marjoram. Sometimes it contains sesame seeds. The taste is delicious. Brrr! Store sumac and za’atar in freezer for longer shelf life. No sumac or za’atar on hand? No worries, just add a bit more lemon juice. Try it, you’ll like it! Go from simple to sensational with summer salads. Don’t be shy about add-ins like fresh corn, zucchini, different greens, sweet or spicy peppers, edible fl owers and maybe a new herb.

Blink announces VIP experience, list of artists Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

With only a few months left before the highly-anticipated return of Blink, the art and light festival has announced its lineup of projection mapping artists and muralists. The event that garnered a million visitors in 2017 will return Oct. 10-13 and it's bigger than ever. Blink will span from Findlay Market to Covington, bridging two states, and spanning 30 city blocks and the Ohio River. Blink will feature large-scale projection mapping, murals by international artists, interactive light sculptures and diverse entertainment. In October 2017, Blink transformed 20 blocks, from the banks of the river to Findlay Market, with around 70 pieces of light, color and video. There were sky-high spectacles on our buildings and sculptures on our sidewalks. Blink in 2019 will feature 39 projection mappings created by 36 organizations or artist groups and curated by BLINK partner, Brave Berlin of Cincinnati. More than 20 of the artists are from Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. “Blink will feature nearly double the number of projection mappings of 2017, and we’re thrilled that 50 percent of our projection mapping installations are either led by or exclusively produced by female artists,” said Steve McGowan of Brave Berlin. Sixteen new murals will be created for BLINK in 2019, curated by the AGAR. Including one by Vhils, an internationally known muralist who's Cincinnati mural was covered with concrete in May. Xylene of Cincinnati will also create a second mural for Blink. Xylene has done work for Rhinegeist and created the Lookin' Good mural in Over-the-Rhine. "The 16 new murals will join the nine created in Cincinnati’s Findlay Market neighborhood for Blink in 2017,” said Andrew Salzbrun of the AGAR. Keep your ears open, there are more announcements coming. BLINK parade participants and lightbased installation artists will be announced by BLINK partner ArtWorks in September. Blink is also off ering VIP tickets for $350 each. VIP tickets get a person access to six VIP tents, access to restrooms and a dedicated bar as well as fi rstcome-fi rst-serve VIP viewing area during the Blink parade. It also includes one Architects of Air ticket and four drink tickets.

Sports Greater Cincinnati top football recruits have link to Elder’s 1954 city title team Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

PRICE HILL - Elder’s fabled “Pit” epitomizes Friday night high school football so much that it’s been voted one of the top places to take in a game by USA Today. From the bordering homes with fan decks, the “12th man” crowd, to the legends that have graced the Price Hill gridiron, history is made virtually every season. The latest wrinkle to Panther history comes with a tie-in to the present. Evan Prater is a senior quarterback at Wyoming who is committed to the University of Cincinnati. Sure, he wears Cowboy blue, but there’s a connection. Representing the purple, tight end Joe Royer and off ensive lineman Jakob James are Ohio State commits. The connection dates back 65 years to Elder’s 1954 10-0 city championship team. The grandfathers of Prater and Royer and the great uncle of James were on that team coached by Virgil Scardina. Brent Bleh (father of Evan Prater’s mother Lori) was a junior, while Dick Royer and Dan James were seniors. Dick Royer is the only one of the three living. “That’s a pretty cool thing for me, Jakob and Evan to be a legacy I guess,” Joe Royer said. “I knew they were a pretty good team. He (grandfather Dick) went on to play at Notre Dame.” Royer says his grandfather, who still attends games, didn’t try to infl uence his college choice. “Play hard and hit some people” has been his only advice. The ‘54 Elder Panthers were the school’s fi rst undefeated and untied team and still hold records for rushing touchdowns in a game (7) and total touchdowns (9) vs. New Woodward Oct. 4, 1954. Their 39 rushing touchdowns is a school record as well as their 2,721 rushing yards. The 1940 team coached by Walter “Babe” Bartlett was unbeaten but had a scoreless tie with Withrow. Former Xavier coach and Cincinnati Bengals assistant Dick Selcer was a top quarterback and made United Press International First Team, along with center Dan James. Both were also picked First Team by all three local papers at the time, The Enquirer, Post and TimesStar, along with tackle Dick Royer. Other prominent players were guards Carl Feldman and Paul Allison and halfback Paul Kelly. Elder’s closest calls in 1954 were a 2513 victory over Culver Military Academy and a 27-12 triumph over St. Xavier on Halloween. Chillicothe scored 14 on the Panthers in the season opener. The rest

TONY TRIBBLE/FOR THE ENQUIRER Brent Bleh (29), Dick Royer (48) and Don James (right of Royer) were members of Elder's 1954 undefeated city champs. Bleh is the grandfather of Wyoming's Evan Prater, Royer is the grandfather of Elder tight end Joe Royer and James the great uncle of Panthers offensive lineman Jakob James.

of the opponents were held to seven points or less and the Panthers recorded three shutouts. Oﬀ ensive lineman Jakob James has heard plenty of “glory days” stories about his great uncle Dan James in ‘54 and his own grandfather, Bob James, who played in the late 1950s. “Just to hear what it was like back then, their kind of two-a-days, their kind of practices, it’s crazy how times have changed,” Jakob James said. Dan James went on to play for the Lions, Steelers and Bears. Bob’s son, Craig James played for current coach Doug Ramsey and graduated in 1993 and now tutors his son and the rest of the Panthers linemen on Elder history and blocking. The James history is mostly purple. “The only one that got away from us was Matthew James,” Craig James said. “Their family went to St. X. Everyone else went to Elder. Uncle Dan was on the 1954 undefeated team with Joe Royer’s grandfather. A lot of it has to do with Elder. Jakob’s been around it forever.” Like Jakob, Dan James moved on to Ohio State. Longtime Elder coach Doug Ramsey has now coached several sons of players and is aware of the various purple pipelines. “It’s tradition!” Ramsey said. “We’ve had a lot of great players. Fortunately for us those great players have kids that be-

come great players and grandkids that become great players. People don’t leave here a lot. When you’re an Elder guy and have had success here, you stay on.” Ramsey says the number of players that are sons of former Panthers he’s coached is now in double digits. Evan Prater has equaled his grandfather Brent Bleh by also playing on an undefeated team as a junior, having quarterbacked Wyoming to a 15-0 record and the Ohio Division IV title last December. “This city’s very special and being able to play in this city is special,” Prater said. “Following after my dad and my grandpa, I could ask for anything better. They were so successful and I just wanted to bring that success back to Cincinnati as well.” Prater’s father, Gary, played at Forest Park High School and continued in college football at Tennessee and South Carolina. Joe Royer and Jakob James have this season to pursue perfection as the Elder boys of ‘54 did, but realistically an unbeaten with a GCL-South schedule would be quite the accomplishment given the competition in 2019. Should that occur, the Tuesday night tape sessions Ramsey hosts for Elder diehards to watch the previous week’s game will be even more packed with those with a heavy dose of Price Hill Purple Fever.

La Salle product Larkin oﬀ ers advice to football recruits Scott Springer

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Former La Salle standout Jeremy Larkin ended his playing career after discovering he had a neck condition. SAM GREENE/THE ENQUIRER

On Sept. 15, 2018, La Salle High School football phenom Jeremy Larkin played his last college football game for the Northwestern Wildcats. He gained 82 yards and scored twice in a 39-34 loss to Akron and had rushed for 346 of the team’s 351 net running yards to date. However, an alert Northwestern athletic trainer overheard Larkin mention some “numbness” and advised him to have some testing. The results showed a neck condition, cervical stenosis. The harsher result was Larkin was advised

to medically retire. “This is heartbreaking because I see every day how much Jeremy loves the game, loves his teammates, and loves to compete,” Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said in a statement. Some have continued their careers with the diagnosis, but Larkin’s case was severe enough to rule that possibility out. Cooper Manning, the older brother of Peyton and Eli, had a similar diagnosis that cut his career short at Ole Miss. After 5,349 rushing yards and 95 touchdowns at La Salle, then 849 yards See LARKIN, Page 2B

in 16 games at Northwestern, Larkin was handed devastating news. How he has handled it in the aftermath could aid players to come.

Jeremy Larkin 2.0 Fitzgerald made Larkin a student assistant after his diagnosis and the former two-time Ohio Division II player of the year who won a pair of state football titles at La Salle intends to pursue the profession. Bright and inquisitive, he has as much to off er on the fi eld as off for those moving from “Friday Night Lights” to Saturdays in big college venues. While the injury is a setback, he sees it as a fi ve-year head start to his career.

A pair of Tristate off ensive linemen drew praise ahead of defending national champion Clemson‘s season-opening game against Georgia Tech. Head coach Dabo Swinney told 247sports.com that Fairfi eld grad Jackson Carman “Has had a heck of a camp. He’s so much more mature than this time last year. He’s just a diff erent dude now.” The sophomore is slated to start at left tackle for the Tigers. Swinney also told 247sports.com that Carman is smart and in the best mental and physical shape of his young career. St. Xavier grad Matt Bockhorst is a backup guard who also garnered praise from Swinney. “But the guy who really to me has made the biggest impression is Matt Bockhorst,” Swinney told 247sports. “That guy, man. If he’s in front of you, you better show up and compete every day because that guy wants a job.

“What exactly is the spotlight and what is it preparing you for?” Larkin said of the current landscape of Division I recruits who come in celebrated and decorated but not necessarily equipped to embrace the team concept crucial to college success.

Social media Larkin does have a Twitter account but recognizes the perception of the platform might not always help young athletes. “I like to think of it as that’s what the outside world views you as,” he said. “You want to be careful with what you’re putting on it. “I think a lot of times it’s a false advertisement of what real work is. Before getting to college, you’ve got to put in the work in high school. Make sure you make your team better rather than making yourself better.”

FREE EVENT. TWO SPEAKERS. ONE GOAL. YOUR SUCCESS.

Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney walks by offensive lineman Matt Bockhorst (65) and others stretching during practice.

With the introduction of the NCAA transfer portal, there’s a natural tendency for players to seek greener pastures should they not reach a desired outcome at their original university. The concept of being a team player is not easily taught but is essential to success. “Everyone’s working together as a team to make you as a person better,” Larkin said. “It shouldn’t be just the focus on you making yourself better. Try to fi gure out how to be better for the team.” In Larkin’s case, in addition to assisting coaches, he’s been known to jump in and help with team laundry. While most students aren’t courted or rated like blue-chip athletes, Larkin advises a broad-based decision when narrowing down choices. “Why are you at the school?” Larkin said. “The reason I chose Northwestern was the amount of opportunities offered for me after football was over. It’s more than football. You choose a university based on the opportunity they’re willing to off er. What can the school do for you rather than what you can do for the school?” When Larkin was given his diagnosis, he spoke with the medical staff

about life and the quality of life. He was told one of the toughest things on their end was having to tell athletes they can no longer play. “You have to fi gure out, ‘what is my purpose of life?’” Larkin said. “What is my path and where am I going? I’ve lived the fi rst quarter of my life and now I have to go fi gure out the next three quarters.” As a coach, Larkin has a playing resume most would envy. As a mentor, his experience is invaluable. He has overcome heartbreak and “sees the fi eld” as well as he did when he was carrying a football. The average NFL career is a little more than three years. At 5-foot-10 and less than 200 pounds, Larkin assumes he would have taken a pounding from not just Big Ten talent, but the bigger, faster pros had he advanced. In his case, there’s no need for a rearview mirror. “When I hold my fi rstborn up, I’ll know I’m lucky,” Larkin said. “I’m so thankful for the decision by the people around me to help me through this transition.”

SCHOOL NEWS Fifth-grade Girl Scouts help save a species; Cincinnati Zoo lets them name Zoo Baby St. Ignatius Junior Girl Scout Troop 43130 has been hard at work earning the highest award a Girl Scout Junior can earn, the Bronze Award. The troop consists of fi fth-graders Katie Bender, Rachel Bernard, Jenna Brennan, Abby Condren, Maria Disbennett, A.J. Gehrum, Allie Gilkey, Evelyn Kuhlman, Cecilia Morris, Elise Overstake, Bella Roda, Camille Roman, and Eva Winchester and is led by Angie Gehrum and Laura Roman. The young ladies researched ideas, debated, and voted as a group to choose Endangered Species as their cause to help. For two years they completed all of the requirements for the award and worked to raise money for their cause. They raised a total of $500.00 by collecting gently used toys and clothes, labeling them and then working at the parish Toy & Clothing Sale where a portion of their proceeds goes back to support their school and parish. All thirteen girls spent hours and hours on this project and developed their leadership skills working towards their common goal. They researched various Endangered Species and decided to partner with the Cincinnati Zoo on some of the species they are working to save. After much deliberation, the girls decided to focus their eff orts to help the Kea species which is a New Zealand native bird in the parrot family. They worked with their favorite Kea Keeper Kimberly Klosterman to see how their donation could be put to use. The zoo invited the girls to experience their very own Kea Encounter where they met the fl ock and were able to ask many questions, interact with the fl ock & see fi rsthand how intelligent this species is. After meeting the fl ock, the Kea Keeper let the girls know that the zoo was so excited to be incubating two new Kea

The troop presents their $500 donation to help the Kea: Evelyn Kuhlman, Jenna Brennan, Maria Disbennett, A.J.

eggs with hopes of continuing the species. She then let the girls have the opportunity to give suggestions for a name for one of the new babies. Since the ﬂ ock is so intelligent, the zoo always names the birds after smart people so the girls suggested Juliette Gordon Low who was the founder of Girl Scouts since she was very smart to start this organization which is so near and dear to their hearts. One scout, Elise Overstake, suggested that if the chick ended up being a boy, he could be named “Gordon.” It turns out, both chicks were boys and the zoo has decided to take the troop’s suggestion and name one of the boys “Gordon” after their founder. The girls are ecstatic and this was the perfect cherry on top to a two year project to help make the world a better place. Since this species can live to be 50 years old or older in captivity, the girls decided to plan to bring their grandchildren to the Cincinnati Zoo someday to meet their special bird, Gordon. Girl Scouts of Western Ohio has awarded all thirteen scouts with their Bronze Award and the young ladies plan to stay together as a troop and work towards their Sil-

ver Award as Cadettes. Angie Gehrum, St. Ignatius Girl Scout Troop

Houston Early Learning Center receives 5-star award from Ohio Department of Education The Houston Early Learning Center (HELC) was recently awarded and recognized as a 5-Star preschool for meeting the quality standards established by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and the Ohio Department of Education (ODE).

ODE’s Step Up To Quality (SUTQ) program is a fi ve-tiered quality rating and improvement system created to recognize and promote early learning and development programs that meet quality standards over and above the health and safety licensing requirements. Participating programs earn a one, two, three, four or fi ve-star rating by meeting Ohio’s quality program standards. HELC has consistently maintained a 5-Star rating since the State of Ohio started the SUTQ program. Based on their fi ndings, 86% of the students who attend HELC enter kindergarten “on track” as defi ned by the state of Ohio.

eight special education preschool interventionists, seven preschool educators with master’s degrees, three general education assistants, one early childhood education tutor and 12 special education assistants. “Our teachers at Houston focus on the whole child. This includes the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of the preschool student. We currently enroll 144 four-year-old students,” said Aimee Murray, HELC Principal. “We encourage our teachers to incorporate patience, consistency and a sense of humor to engage students in their daily lessons. Our educators integrate lessons and hands-on activities to guide students in connecting the academics with their many stages of development,” said Murray.

The learning experience for students within the program occurs inside and outside of the classroom, focusing on areas pertaining to early literacy, writing, math, technology, science and discovery, building and construction, dramatic play as well as art and gross motor activities. HELC curriculum lays a strong foundation for success in school and beyond. Students enjoy whole group, small group and individualized learning with their peers from highly qualifi ed, certifi ed teachers who have a bachelor’s and/or master’s degree in education/special education and many years’ experience working with young children. Additionally, administrators, teachers and staff complete more than 15 hours of specialized training each school year. This year, HELC students were able to utilize a new technology space and library. HELC’s new technology space

boast 25 new Chromebooks and access to the educational Starfall program for preschool students. Starfall’s activities and curricula align with a variety of state and national learning standards and its unique free-exploration model intuitively guides each child to fi nd activities that fi t his or her learning level. HELC’s new library embraces the importance of early literacy, giving students the opportunity to explore, read and share stories with classmates, teachers, staff , parents and families. “I love that our new library and technology space allows for so many opportunities. Early learners can gravitate toward ABC and number activities that are engaging for them, more advanced students can dig deeper to follow the stories of their favorite characters or discover new levels of mathematical skills, while others can engage in technological exercises that support their overall digital skill development,” said
