Iconic Hudepohl smokestack will face wrecking ball soon Soon-to-be demolished smokestack is an icon of Cincinnati German beer history Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The iconic Hudepohl smokestack won’t come down at the end of the week as originally planned because the wrecking company hired to take down the structure has been forced to reschedule, according to The Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Au-

thority. The Port said Tuesday, June 11, that a wrecking crew was scheduled to begin knocking down the signature smokestack, which has been part of the Cincinnati skyline for more than 150 years, early Friday morning. A new demolition date has not been scheduled. The pending smokestack demolition

will occur about two years after asbestos cleanup and other remediation began at the site. Some city leaders had proposed saving the smokestack. A feasibility study determined the smokestack would be too costly and diﬃ cult to salvage. There are no plans for development at the site.

The soon-to-be-demolished smokestack of the former Hudepohl brewery in Queensgate has been a visible towering reference point to Cincinnati’s brewing legacy. Parts of the brewery have been saved ahead of the looming demolition. Brewery buildings at the 801 W. Sixth Street site date back to 1860 according to Hamilton County property records. Hudepohl was founded by Louis Hudepohl, an American born to German immigrant parents. The brick smokestack with white bricks spelling out Hudepohl is one of the oldest surviving links to Cincinnati’s German brewing past. The Port Authority of Cincinnati, owner of the property, plans to demolish the smokestack.

‘I wouldn’t do anything diﬀ erent.’ Retiree who gave away pot to the sick sentenced Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Paul Koren got caught with a basement full of marijuana, which he used occasionally himself, but mostly gave away to sick and dying people who needed it for their pain. At age 70, the Miami Township man didn’t see himself as a drug dealer. But when a trio of men broke into his house mistakenly thinking there would be guns and money, they got caught. And so did Koren. He was facing prison June 12 on drug charges, but Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Patrick Dinkelacker spared him time behind bars and or-

dered two years of probation after Koren pleaded guilty to a charge of traﬃ cking in marijuana. Koren is to get mental health treatment – which he called unfair – and stay away from his previous life as the grandpa with a grow farm in the basement. The Enquirer chronicled the unusual case in April. After the home invasion robbery, drug oﬃ cers found 36 marijuana plants weighing 45 pounds and one and a half ounces of psychedelic mushrooms in Koren’s basement. Koren, a retired engineer, says he doesn’t know how the mushrooms got there, but friends help him with his operation and he suspects that’s where they came from.

Koren was mostly silent during sentencing, but in a conversation with The Enquirer after court, stuck by his stance that marijuana should be legal and it’s meant to help people. “I wouldn’t do anything diﬀ erent because it shouldn’t be the law,” Koren said. “It’s illegal because of bigotry toward Mexicans.” Since the heyday of Koren’s operation, Ohio legalized medical marijuana. But Koren poo-pooed state control of the drug. “The current law sets up monopolies, costing twice the street value, plus 20 percent tax,” Koren sad. “I was just trying to help people.”

Hudepohl eventually moved all brewing operations to the West Sixth Street brewery, which was originally a former Lackman Brewing Co. plant. The Lackman, an Over-the-Rhine bar, draws

Hardman has brought Hudepohl bottles back to Cincinnati in recent years, something missing for decades after the West 6th Street plant closed in 1988. “Hudepohl is synonymous with Cincinnati’s grand brewing’s traditions and Ludwig Hudepohl II was actually the ﬁ rst Cincinnati-born beer baron,” Hardman said. News of the smokestack coming down has led people to message Christian Morelein sharing memories of the taproom that was once there and more. “Ever since it was announced the Hudepohl smokestack would come down our Facebook has lit up with people sending private Facebook messages and saying can anything be done,” he said. It’s bringing back a lot of emotions for people, Hardman said. “Who doesn’t remember driving Downtown and seeing the Hudepohl smokestack?” he said. There are other ways people remember Hudepohl, Hardman said. Hudepohl, Hudy Delight or Hudy 14K beer variety signs can still be seen at area bars.

Man on death row in execution of Westwood store owner could be freed, sent to Jordan quitted. Prosecutors said she paid Issa to have her husband killed because he was planning to leave her. A Jordanian Christian, Issa Khriss said she was disowned by her family for having a relationship with Khrais, a Muslim. The couple settled in Ohio, but Khriss was unable to have children. Khrais was in the process of dissolving their marriage and planned to go back to Jordan to be with another woman he was married to there, according to reports from the time. She told investigators on tape she paid someone $2,000 to have her husband beat up so he would know what it’s like to be abused. During her trial, she later said police tricked her into saying that. She’s one of the few people to ever be acquitted in a death penalty case in Hamilton County.

Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Ahmad Fawzi Issa has been on death row for more than 20 years, but now he could soon be set free and sent home to his native Jordan. In 1997, Issa was convicted of arranging the execution of his boss, but now a federal appeal court has said he must be retried or released. The prosecutors – who would be tasked with that retrial – say they are trying to reach a plea deal with Issa and that he will likely be released and deported. Issa was charged in a complicated murder-for-hire plot that resulted in the death of Maher Khrais, a grocery store owner, and his brother Zaid Khreis. The brothers were executed in the parking lot of a Westwood convenience store on Nov. 22, 1997. “Murder-for-hire is cold and calculating and shows absolutely no regard for human life,” Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge David Davis said during a hearing at the time. “If there is a worst form of murder, this is probably it.” Issa wasn’t the only one implicated. Khrais’ wife was accused of initiating the killings. There was also the gunman. All three were charged with murder, all faced the death penalty. Police and prosecutors said Issa was the middleman. They said he found the assassin, arranged to pay him and supplied the Mak 90 riﬂ e used in the killings. He was found guilty and sentenced to death. However, the other two trials ended diﬀ erently.

The gunman Andre Miles, the gunman, admitted to killing the brothers. He said he owned Issa money and was promised to have his debt forgiven plus another $15,000 if he killed the men. His testimony was dramatic. Miles said he ate popcorn while he waited for the men outside the convenience store. When he pointed the gun at them, he said they threw money at him and begged not to be killed. He said he didn’t set out to kill Khrais’ brother, but shot him anyway because he saw his face. Miles was sentenced to life in prison. Two of the 12 jurors on his case would not hand down the death penalty. He remains in prison at the Marion Correctional Institution.

The wife Linda Khriss, Khrais’ wife, was ac-

The appeal Hearsay evidence presented during Issa’s trial and the acquittal of Khrais’ wife contributed to Issa’s conviction being overturned. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals opinion said witnesses recounted conversations they had with Miles, the gunman, after the shooting. Some of those witnesses contradicted each other and should not have been allowed during the trial, the judges wrote. In a concurring opinion, Judge Gilbert Merritt said the three separate murder trials contradicted each other. “Linda Khriss, facing the same charges as Issa, testiﬁ ed in her own trial and denied hiring anyone to kill her husband. She speciﬁ cally exonerated Issa,” Merritt wrote. “Linda Khriss was acquitted. Linda Khriss was available to testify

at Issa’s trial – and in fact, sat in the courtroom throughout much of his trial. Yet trial counsel failed to call her.” The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Issa’s conviction and death sentence last year, but that decision was appealed. Last week, the Supreme Court declined to take up the case, so the decision stands. Now out of appeals, prosecutors have a 120-day window to retry Issa or release him. In a statement from the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Oﬃ ce, Chief Assistant Prosecutor Mark Piepmeier said he believes Issa’s sentence was unjust. “Issa was the least morally culpable of the three,” he said. Prosecutors are working with Issa’s attorneys on a possible plea deal. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for July 18 to discuss the case.

2 Cincinnati-area nursing homes on government list of poor performers Anne Saker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Two nursing homes in the Cincinnati region are on a list the federal government has released for the fi rst time identifying 400 facilities nationwide with ongoing health, safety or sanitary problems. Federal regulators say they lack the money to better oversee the underperforming facilities, leaving two U.S. senators to say the government’s oversight “falls short of what taxpayers should expect.” The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services considers the 400 nursing homes in need of increased monitoring and inspection. The listed facilities are labeled as “candidates” for the Special Focus Facility list, a much smaller roster of about 80 facilities in danger of losing federal medical funding for being consistently subpar. On the “candidate” list are 17 Ohio facilities including Premier Estates of Cincinnati-Riverside and fi ve in Kentucky, including Woodcrest Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Elsmere. The Special Focus Facility list is made public monthly, and those nursing homes are identifi ed on the government’s Nursing Home Compare website with a small yellow triangle. The website reports on facility inspections and other compliance issues. But the much larger “candidate” list, compiled monthly, has never been made public. This spring, Pennsylvania’s two senators demanded that CMS release the list, and on June 3, the agency handed over its April list. Premier Estates of Cincinnati-Riverside has 65 beds, and Woodcrest Nursing and Rehabilitation has 127 beds. Pre-

x a l e R

Premier Estates of Cincinnati-Riverside nursing home off River Road in Riverside.

mier Estates’ parent company, Trillium Healthcare Consulting of Bradenton, Florida, said in a statement that the facility “is under new management as of 2018. The management group is a highly experienced group with strong focus on clinical excellence. Many of this facility’s issues have been identifi ed and addressed. New ownership continues to make strides every day to improve care and services.” The federal government fi ned Premier Estates of Cincinnati-Riverside twice for standards violations: $6,500 in March 2017 and twice in January 2018 for a total of $126,144. In that month, Medicare also withheld payment to the facility, according to the Nursing Home Compare website. Woodcrest Nursing and Rehabilitation was fi ned $142,713 in September 2016 and had a Medicare payment denial in February 2018.

Premier Estates of Cincinnati-Riverside’s record For-proﬁ t Premier-Riverside has a

one-star rating (or much lower than average) on Nursing Home Compare. It had 27 health citations at its most recent inspection in February 2019. In comparison, the average number of citations for an Ohio nursing home inspection is 8.4 while it is 7.9 nationally. Twelve complaints against Premier Estates have resulted in citations over the past three years; there have been three complaint-triggered inspections there from May 1 to April 30. A couple of the citations against Premier-Riverside were labeled the most serious kinds of problems – ones that put a handful of residents in immediate jeopardy. A May 2018 inspection found the nursing home failed earlier that month to provide basic life support to a resident who was not monitored once she became unresponsive and who did not receive CPR until EMS arrived at the facility. The woman died. Another immediate jeopardy citation, for not providing appropriate treatment and care involving monitoring of blood sugar levels and the availability of medication, was downgraded later.

Woodcrest Nursing and Rehab’s record For-proﬁ t Woodcrest also has a onestar rating from Nursing Home Compare. It had six health citations at its most recent inspection in February 2019. In comparison, the average number of citations in a Kentucky nursing home inspection is 5.3. Nine complaints against Woodcrest have resulted in a citation over the past three years, although no complaint inspections were made there from May 1 to April 30.

Four of the citations against Woodcrest after a February inspection were deemed to cause immediate jeopardy to health or safety, and the problems affected some residents (compared to the other classifi cations or “few” or “many”). The inspection report shows the nursing home didn’t have enough nursing staff , including a licensed nurse in charge for each shift; had signifi cant medication errors; didn’t immediately tell residents, their doctors or their families about problems or situations, and didn’t provide care by qualifi ed people as guided by plans for residents. The nursing home made changes, and the immediate jeopardy label was lifted before the inspectors left. The nursing homes on the special focus facility list and the “candidate” list account for about 3 percent of facilities nationally, the senators said in their report. About 1.3 million Americans are nursing home residents, cared for in more than 15,700 facilities. The Trump administration has asked Congress for more money for health care inspections, but the fi nal amount and how it will be distributed remain unclear. The goal of the special focus facility list and the added inspections that come with it is to have facilities improve and move off it within 12-18 months. The states, which do the inspections of nursing homes, determine which facilities require further monitoring. If a nursing home is violating state regulations, it must submit plans for correcting the problems, J.C. Benton of the Ohio Department of Health said. Follow-up inspections determine whether the problems have been resolved. The Associated Press contributed.

Cincinnati’s police union president asked for more support for police in the wake of a decision clearing an offi cer of using excessive force after he tased an 11-year-old girl. On June 11, Fraternal Order of Police President Sgt. Dan Hils posted a picture of a bloodied offi cer who was recently injured in an incident at the Montana Avenue YMCA in Westwood. In the Facebook post, Hils wrote that he wonders which offi cers who use force will be supported. “The offi cer would have been justifi ed if he had used deadly force,” Hils said in the post on the Support the Blue in Cincy Facebook group.

YMCA in Westwood after receiving reports of a disorderly man who refused to leave the basketball gym. Oﬃ cers said they attempted to force

Durrell Nichols to leave, but he resisted. Then Nichols assaulted the offi cers “by means of a deadly weapon,” according to court records. According to Cincinnati Police, Nichols, 25, was recently arrested and charged with assault. “At what levels of leadership would he have been supported and at what levels would he have been abandoned?” Hils asked of the offi cer injured at the YMCA. On the post, Mayor John Cranley applauded the offi cers involved and said he, the city manager and Police Chief Eliot Isaac found the attack “despicable.” “We applaud the bravery of all of the offi cers who had to deal with this awful and dangerous situation. Let me know if more is needed,” Cranley said. Hils’ post came the same day that a

Cincinnati Police offi cer who shot an 11year-old girl with a stun gun in a Kroger shoplifting incident had successfully appealed his seven-day suspension. An arbitrator handling the case brought by the Fraternal Order of Police, which represented Offi cer Kevin Brown, against the City of Cincinnati found that the policy in place during the August incident allowed offi cers to use a stun gun on children as young as 7. Brown was found not guilty of using excessive force. He will be compensated for lost wages during his unpaid suspension, according to Hils. On June 11, Hils said Brown was treated unfairly when he was suspended late last year. Hils also condemned city offi cials, including Police Chief Eliot Isaac, for expressing an opinion on the incident before an investigation had taken place.

Westside theft: Boosted TVs for sale on Facebook Maia Anderson Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A trio accused of stealing televisions were caught after the owner of the TVs saw them listed on Facebook. Green Township Police Lt. Mitchell Hill said Christopher Rapp, Matthew Bryant and Abigail Lallathin broke into Prime Sports Lounge 6040 Colerain Ave. in the early morning hours of June 4. The sports lounge is taking the place of the former Walt’s Barbeque in Green Township, and construction is underway. Police said the three stole 16 TVs from the bar and later listed them for sale on

Lallathin

Bryant

Rapp

Facebook Marketplace. Hill said the owner of the sports bar found two of the TVs on Facebook and told police he believed them to be his. Green Township police arranged for the owner to meet with the sellers to purchase his TVs and then arrested the trio upon arrival. Hill said the trio admitted

to the theft during interviews. Police found six of the stolen TVs in two cars at the scene of the arrest and four more in their home in Springﬁ eld Township. Police said two stolen guns were also found at the home. Rapp, 22, is held at the Hamilton County Justice Center and bond was set at 10% of $60,000 on ﬁ ve charges. He is charged with three counts of breaking and entering: the Prime Sports break in June 4, as well as break-ins at the Lucky Lady at 9962 Hamilton Ave. May 17, and Cashland at 11008 Hamilton Ave. June 4. Police also charged Rapp with one count of tampering with evidence and one count of receiving stolen property

for a handgun found during the service of a search warrant at his Washington Avenue home in Springﬁ eld Township. He also has an unrelated charge from March 2019 for abandoning an animal. Police said Lallathin, 21, of Batavia, and Bryant, 28, a Cincinnati resident, confessed to driving to Prime Sports and helping load TVs into a car and a truck. Police said they met the victim and said they had other TVs for sale and agreed to meet the victim again. Serial numbers matched those of the stolen TVs. Bryant is also charged in the May 17 break-in at the Lucky Lady. Both were released on their own recognizance. They are due in court June 21.

Myrtle Beach drowning points out the racial disparity in pool deaths Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

About eight years after Carlos Jeff lost both of his sons to drowning in a neighbor’s pool, another Cincinnati child died in the same manner. Trenton Piper, an 11-year-old from Westwood, had been swimming in a Myrtle Beach pool with family when he went underwater and didn’t surface. More than fi ve minutes passed at the Beach Colony Resort pool, according to a preliminary autopsy report. By the time bystanders noticed, it was too late. Trenton’s aunt, Alicia Piper, wrote on social media that the family was overwhelmed and overcome with grief. A GoFundMe to help the family with funeral costs raised nearly $3,000 of a $10,000 goal as of Saturday, June 8. Jeff ’s sons were 8 and 10 years old when they drowned in June 2011. Bryce, the younger child, slid down a water-

slide into the deep end of a neighbor’s pool. Though he’d had swim lessons, Bryce wasn’t prepared for such depth, Jeﬀ said. As his momentum propelled him underwater, Bryce panicked.

His brother, Cameron, leaped in to help. Neither boy surfaced. None of the four adults around the pool knew how to swim and stood by, helpless. “It’s really crushing,” Jeff said. “It’s almost as crushing to see someone else take that loss.” Though he said he’ll likely never recover, Jeff has channeled his grief into helping children learn to swim by redirecting fundraising dollars to swimming programs for children, and especially black children. Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death among children aged 1 to 14, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Black children are signifi cantly more at risk than white children to drown in swimming pools. Black children and teens aged 5 to 19 are 5.5 times more likely to drown than white children of the same age, according to the CDC. Those aged 10 and 11, which includes

Trenton and Cameron, are 10 times as likely to drown than their white counterparts. Jeff attributes the disparity in part to a lack of swimming facilities in low-income neighborhoods. “A lot of pools have been closing down,” he said, “so in the economically challenged neighborhoods, those kids aren’t going to get the same opportunities as kids in the suburbs or kids with pools at home.” Jeff echoed a 2014 study, which called for encouraging and enabling minorities to gain swimming skills. Through the Cameron and Bryce Memorial Foundation, which Jeff started in 2013, he’s raised enough money to off er about 2,000 swim lesson scholarships this year, in partnership with the Cincinnati Recreation Commission. He hopes to one day expand the swimming scholarships to other cities. “There is a solution to it, so I’m defi nitely not going to give up,” he said.

CPS and library provide free meals this summer Rachel Berry Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Free meals will be provided to children this summer by Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) and the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. Both programs are funded through the Summer Food Service Program for Children, which is sponsored by the Department of Education. The CPS program runs from June 3 to August 2, said Frances Russ, the Cincinnati Public Schools’ communications ofﬁ cer, in a press release. Food will be available at schools, recreation centers and other locations throughout the district to anyone 18 years old and younger. Those aged 19-21 who are determined by a state or local public-educational agency to be mentally or physically disabled may also receive meals. Meal times and locations are available

on CPS’ website or by calling (513) 3630800. To receive food, people must arrive at the site 15 minutes before the serving time. No registration is necessary. The public library’s program provides

meals and snacks Monday through Friday from June 3 to August 16. The food is available for anyone 18 years old and younger and for those aged 19-21 with mental or physical disabilities. Food will

be served Monday through Friday at select library locations. The library oﬀ ers meals at various times across the diﬀ erent locations to try to provide lunch, dinner and snacks to children in need, said Lisa Soper, Youth Services and Programming Coordinator. “Children we work with for summer reading and other programs have great need,” Soper said. “We want to make sure they’re getting the food they need during the summer.” Soper said that the library places a strong focus on education, and a lack of nutrients prohibits students from learning. The library’s Summer Food Service Program is sponsored by the Ohio Department of Education and U.S. Department of Agriculture. Meals are provided in partnership with the United Methodist Church (UMC) Food Pantry and Mount Healthy City Schools.

Grill some steak with summer herb, spice rub Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

We spend a lot of our time outdoors in the summer, much like many of you. Whether it’s working in the vegetable or herb gardens, mowing grass, or simply wandering down my old country road for wild edibles, I sometimes lose track of time. That’s when the grill comes to the rescue. Especially for a

steak supper. What I love about the marinade for the steak is its ﬂ exibility. Marinate it for a few minutes, or up to a day. This is the steak I served at the Cincitalia festival for my cooking demonstration a few weeks ago. Even at room temperature, it got rave reviews and more than a few requests for the recipe. So here you go. Oh, and if you’ve got a few veggies lingering in the vegetable bin, check out my grilled vegetable recipe for a super side.

Steak with summer herb and spice rub This steak gets a wet rub before grilling; the oil helps the other flavors spread. Ingredients 11⁄ 2- to 2-lb. flank, flat iron or skirt steak ⁄ 3 cup olive oil

Steak with summer herb and spice rub, and simple grilled vegetables. RITA HEIKENFELD/PROVIDED

Simple grilled vegetables

2 nice cloves garlic, minced Palmful 1 or 2 kinds fresh chopped herbs, minced - thyme, rosemary, savory, parsley, oregano and marjoram are good choices 1 tablespoon or so Canadian/Montreal steak seasoning

No real recipe, but here’s how I do it. Use whatever veggies you like.

Asiago or Romano cheese for garnish (optional)

Suggestions:

Instructions

Zucchini into about 1⁄ 2” slices

For flank and flat iron, score steak on both sides. No need to score skirt steak.

Red, yellow and orange bell peppers, cut into nice wedges

Mix the oil, garlic, herbs and steak seasoning. Rub all over the steak and let marinate in refrigerator anywhere from 30 minutes to a day.

Green onions, leave white part on, trim roots Instructions

For flank and flat iron, grill on medium high until medium doneness 12 to 15 minutes or so, depending upon the thickness of the steak and if you take it straight from the refrigerator.

Brush vegetables with olive oil on both sides. Season with salt and pepper. Grill until tender - they will be a bit charred with grill marks.

I like to turn flank and flat iron a couple of times. The thickest part of the steak will register about 135-140°F.

Meanwhile, whisk together about 1⁄ 3 cup olive oil, 1⁄ 4 cup balsamic vinegar, and a couple cloves minced garlic.

Skirt steak should be grilled on high for just a few minutes and turned just once.

Asparagus spears

As soon as they come off the grill, drizzle the sauce over and season to taste. Gilding the lily: A shower of the same cheese you use on the steak is yummy, too for the vegetables.

Transfer to a cutting board, tent and let rest a bit. Slice across the grain. Give it a sprinkle of Asiago or Romano cheese. Tip: Salt and pepper can be subbed for the Canadian seasoning

Key takeaways from a visit to a stadium just like FC Cincinnati’s Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

When FC Cincinnati played Orlando City on May 19, The Enquirer visited Parramore, Florida, where the Florida team built its stadium in 2017. The similarities between Parramore and the West End, where FC Cincinnati is building its stadium are striking. Both are historically black neighborhoods plagued with poverty. Both are within walking distance of a downtown seeing a renaissance. And in both cases, there’s hope a Major League Soccer stadium will spur the kind of development that grows a neighborhood where new residents come, but longtime residents can stay.

Gentriﬁ cation is starting, but it’s slow Two colleges are building a duel campus in the neighborhood and there are restaurants and bars popping up. But for the most part, the neighborhood closest to the stadium looks much like it always has. It’s what you can’t see at ﬁ rst glance that shows change is coming. There are grassy plots of land in between homes where people once lived, places waiting for the development to come. A church that sits in the shadow of the stadium refused to move. It holds services, even on game days.

People have moved away Carol Gibbs, 74, lives two blocks away from the Orlando City stadium. Her rent has gone up to $725 a month. Her rent and the rent of people she

knows used to be $450 or $500. “A lot of people moved,” she said. There are “beau coup white people” moving in, unable to aﬀ ord Orlando rents that are $1,300 or $1,400, Gibbs said. They see Parramore as aﬀ ordable and close enough to downtown. The Orlando Sentinel reported earlier this year that home prices in Parramore

have doubled.

But longtime residents and businesses are happy Residents and business owners in Parramore told The Enquirer the stadium brought opportunity. There are jobs at the stadium, and because there is no

dedicated parking for fans, game day brings a windfall for residents who park cars on their lawns at $20 a pop. J Henry, whose barber shop, is across the street from the stadium, said: “There was uncertainty at ﬁ rst. Now, it’s the best thing that ever happened. The neighborhood has changed tremendously for the better.”

COLUMBUS - The Ohio High School Athletic Association announced new region assignments for the upcoming 2019 football season Thursday. Also, the association announced new divisional breakdowns in volleyball, soccer and basketball. In football, no news is good news for Cincinnatiarea teams as Region 4 remains unaﬀ ected, as did Region 1 in the Cleveland area. Boys basketball had several changes. Goshen is now Division I right at 362 boys, moving up from Division II. Also by enrollment numbers, BethelTate and Blanchester move to Division II. Purcell Marian jumps from Division III to II based on competitive balance. Their enrollment is 131 boys, but with competitive balance factors, the working number goes to 254. Competitive balance factors include whether or not a parent resides in a particular school district and if the student comes from a similar educational system (public/private). For instance, an out-of-district student from a different educational system would be weighted higher by the OHSAA. Gamble Montessori goes from Division IV to Division III on enrollment. Noteworthy in Division III is the appearance of Summit Country Day and Taft who drop down from Division II on enrollment numbers. Both schools have made deep tournament runs before. Also, in Division IV, St. BernardElmwood Place drops from DIII on enrollment. In girls basketball, Northwest moves to Division I on numbers, while Mount Healthy drops to Division II.

Former Elder High School standout Kyle Rudolph and the Minnesota Vikings reached a contract extension that Rudolph was set to sign on Tuesday, June 11, according to a report via Twitter from ESPN’s Courtney Cronin. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported via Twitter that the extension is for $36 million over four years. Rudolph reportedly wanted to stay with the only National Football League team for which he’s played, but refused to take a pay cut to do so. NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah said during the broadcast of the 2019 NFL Draft that he “wouldn’t be surprised if Kyle Rudolph has played his last game with the Minnesota Vikings” after Minnesota selected Alabama tight end Irv Smith Jr. in the second round. Rudolph said in April that he thought it was “awesome” that the Vikings drafted Smith, per startribune.com. The 29-year-old Rudolph has played all eight of his NFL seasons for the Vikings, which drafted him in the second round in 2011. He ﬁ nished last season with 64 catches for 634 yards with four touchdowns.

This New Bladder Control Pill May Replace Adult Diapers

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. Robert Ward, Associated Health Press 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.

Continued from Page 1B

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.

Royer has received more than 20 offers - including one from the Cincinnati Bearcats - according to 247sports.com, which ranks Royer 23rd in Ohio’s class of 2020 and among the top 40 tight ends nationally. Royer ﬁ nished second in the GCLSouth last season in receiving yards (612) and tied for second in the league with ﬁ ve touchdown receptions.

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.

Perhaps more impressive, it also targets the tiny muscles around the bladder, which helps the bladder to create a tighter seal.

Water-based activities come President & CEO with added risks: Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that every day, about 10 people die from unintentional drowning. Children are especially endangered: Drowning is the second most common cause of injury death among children ages 1 to 14; and drownings peak in June and July. Swim lessons can help.The CDC found that participation in formal swim lessons helped reduce drowning risks among toddlers and preschool-aged children. However, certain groups, including African American children, were less likely to have participated in formal swim lessons.

In addition to swim lessons, these strategies can help keep your family safe: • Supervise children around water. Designate a responsible adult to watch children around baths, showers, lakes, rivers, pools and other bodies of water.Teach children that it’s not OK to enter or be around water without supervision. • Wear U.S Coast Guard-approved life jackets.The CDC notes that life jackets should be used regardless of the distance to be traveled, the size e of the boat, or the swimming ability of boaters; and tha at life jackets can reduce risk for weaker swimmers, too. • Use fences and gates to keep p people out of the water. • To prevent head and neck injuries, follow posted rules about jumping and diving.

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."

Krayon Kiosks develop early literacy skills in young children by making learning fun and interactive. Each kiosk can accommodate four children who can use fun reading apps to learn about sounds, phonics, spelling and more.

It’s a joy to watch our young cardholders discover a love for learning through this modern learning tool.” The Library is dedicated to the mission of supporting early literacy and will also install additional Krayon Kiosks at the following branch libraries: Bond Hill, Covedale, Delhi Township, Forest Park, Green Township, Groesbeck, Harrison, Madeira, Madisonville, Monfort Heights, North Central, Northside, Norwood, Oakley, Pleasant Ridge, Reading, Sharonville, St. Bernard, Symmes Township, Westwood and West End.

Times. OHC received Honorable Mention for their submission, Practice Transformation—Early Impact of OCM on Hospital Admissions. OHC was selected for many patientfocused, quality improvement programs it has implemented as a participant in the Oncology Care Model (OCM) of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid’s Innovation Center. One unique program they created was designed to help their patients avoid the emergency room (ER) and hospitalizations. “Call Us Early. Call Us First.” provides patients with the option to call OHC oncology nurses 7 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday – Friday. Patients share their symptoms and the nurses immediately assess and navigate patients through several options: a same day ofﬁ ce visit with a provider, an oﬃ ce visit on the weekend, and/or counseling over the phone. The program encourages pa-

tients to call OHC fi rst before going to an ER. The fi rst year of implementation resulted in a 16% decrease in hospital admissions. The hospital admission reductions in the fi rst year resulted in savings amounting to $798,000 in inpatient costs-perquarter over 1,600 patients, equating to $3.129 million in savings. Sheldrick “While the cost savings are very important, it is even more satisfying to know that 16% more of our patients were at home with their families instead of in the hospital,” said Amy Sheldrick, RN, OHC Nurse Navigator. “There are times when a patient does need to be seen in the emergency room, however, OHC en-

courages all of its patients to call us ﬁ rst for their symptoms so we can help get them the care they need immediately. Avoiding unnecessary trips to the hospital and exposure to other illness and keeping patients safe in their homes is our goal.” The Excellence in Oncology awards are designed to recognize the wonderful research, dedication, and dramatic impact on patients (and their families) that occur every day in oncology. This initiative garners submissions from all areas of the cancer ﬁ eld, highlighting research and clinical programs in a variety of specialties and cancer centers. To learn more about Call Us Early.
