Transportation department complaints: Harassment, favoritism, racism Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

to try to fi nd her daughter, they told her she should try to be patient, that she was far from the fi rst to call. Back-to-school is always a chaotic time, but Whitaker and several other Cincinnati Public Schools parents have been complaining this year about late and missing buses and mixed up stops. It started when CPS accidentally released busing information, including student names and their pickup and drop-off locations, to the wrong families. Along with that, parents say their calls to CPS and the companies it uses for bus service go unanswered and messages are not returned. One mom wrote on Facebook that her son’s schedule is messed up in the system, so the bus is not stopping to get him. When she tries to call CPS to get it fi xed, she is sent to a full mailbox. She ended up driving her son to school and picking him up herself. “I suppose I’ll need to the rest of the week too but honestly can’t,” she wrote. “What do

The employee had a deal with her boyfriend: If things at work didn’t get better by her annual review, she’d quit. They didn’t. And she did. But now, her complaints about working in Cincinnati’s Department of Transportation and Engineering (DOTE) are part of a larger series of questions about how the department is run. Multiple DOTE employees in the past few years have complained about sexual harassment, racism, sexism and favoritism within the department. The employee who ended up quitting – the one who had that deal with her boyfriend – fi led an offi cial hostile workplace complaint before she walked out the door. Then in late June, the department’s head also quit, unexpectedly, about seven and a half months after he was hired. This is a crucial time for DOTE, the department that manages construction and maintenance on Cincinnati’s streets, bridges, sidewalks and bike paths. The Columbia Parkway repair – a major, $17 million fi x after unrelenting landslides – is in full swing. There are serious concerns about pedestrians, including school-age children, getting hit and killed by drivers in Cincinnati. The crumbling Western Hills Viaduct still needs millions of dollars. The Enquirer fi rst reported on trouble in the transportation department in May, when a presentation in front of city council addressed some complaints. The city spent $23,000 on a consultant who told council members about issues in DOTE with favoritism, poor communication and a lack of training. That initial presentation lacked specifi cs, but The Enquirer has since obtained the consultant’s full report and details about four other complaints made by DOTE employees in 2017 and 2018. Together, the documents paint a better picture of what was going on behind the scenes. “This department reminds me of an elementary school class,” said one employee, according to comments included in the consultant’s report. “Many people will say or do anything because they are so desperate to be a part of the ‘cool’ group.” Joe Vogel, the former transportation director who quit a couple of months ago,

A blue skirt and a light pink shirt with a unicorn on the front. A bright pink backpack. It’s a classic back-to-school photo – a 5-year-old standing in the front yard, grinning as she’s about to catch the bus for her fi rst day of kindergarten. “I really think the worst part,” said Jillian Whitaker, mom of the 5-year-old in that photo, “was having to call the cops and describe what she was wearing. Nobody picks out their kid’s back-to-school outfi t and thinks about telling the police about it later.” It’s a story with a relatively happy ending. Sydney Whitaker was not missing or lost – her school bus was just more than an hour late dropping her off to after-school daycare. When Jillian Whitaker called the bus company to ask where Sydney was, they put her on hold. Then, she said, they apparently left her on hold and went home for the evening. “I was hysterical when I left work,” Whitaker said, adding that when she called police

declined to comment. He said he left for personal reasons, adding that DOTE is “a great department with talented, committed people” and that “it was an honor to serve the public.” The newly instituted interim director, John Brazina, was not available for an interview. The Enquirer submitted written questions regarding the consultant’s report, and City Manager Patrick Duhaney replied with a written statement, saying the administration is taking seriously the issues raised, is committed to providing a safe and inviting workplace for all employees and has “taken aggressive action.” The transportation department has oﬀ ered training on implicit bias and workplace sensitivity, Duhaney wrote, and has also launched a new program called “DOTE Bright Ideas” to help engage employees in improving the department’s culture.

Poor morale, bullying, sexism The consultant’s report is based on 42 interviews, 13 focus groups, an employee survey and 19 on-the-job observations, where consultants followed DOTE employees as they went about their workdays. Consultants also examined the department’s demographics and previous workplace complaints. Overall, the report ﬁ nds that DOTE is

a “high-performing group of individuals” that serves customers well. However, there is a “close-knit environment” among the tenured professionals that has led to incidents of favoritism and an overall lack of trust. Themes in the report center around poor communication, inequity in promotions and discipline and the need for training, for job skills and soft skills. “There is no hope,” one employee said. “It is a club of the popular kids and no one will change it because they are in control.” Employees spoke of poor morale and a feeling of “walking on eggshells.” They talked about special treatment for some while others were getting bullied. “I cannot say that the negative behavior I have experienced is speciﬁ cally sexist,” said one employee, “but my impression is that I would be taken more seriously if I were a man and an engineer…” Several comments referred to the department ignoring problem employees, adding that issues only get addressed if the union gets involved.

One employee said managers are sometimes the problem – displaying poor judgment and using vulgar language, which gives subordinates freedom to follow suit. Still another complained that open positions are sometimes held for friends or family members. “So now you have an overwhelming number of white males in supervisory rules with subordinates who are displaced and angry that they were passed over…”

DOTE demographics The transportation department has an operating budget of $13 million in ﬁ scal year 2020 and a capital budget of $34.9 million. Of 148 staﬀ ers, according to the report, 109 are male. The department also skews heavily white. In management, which includes supervisory roles and upper management positions, the trend is toward white men.

you suggest for actually being able to contact someone or even be able to leave a message?” Wrote another on Twitter: “I love CPS, but this is one of the things that needs A LOT of work! Waited an hour yesterday and have been standing in the rain for 40 min now today :( Makes for a long day for the kiddos!” CPS spokeswoman Lauren Worley said that as part of the district’s contracts with busing companies, the companies are required to notify families if buses are delayed. School board member Mike Moroski said he understands what parents are feeling. He tries to make himself as accessible as possible, handing out his cell number without hesitation. “As a result,” he said, “my phone’s been on overload this week, working with the frustration.” There are no excuses, Moroski said, but bus issues are common during the fi rst few days of school. He thinks the problems have been compounded this year by stop changes – to make routes more effi cient – and by the mix-up with the emails before school even started. “The logistics of getting these 35,000plus kids to and fro is diffi cult. We ask for grace and patience, but we know we can get better,” Moroski said. “I think the goof was, the communication didn’t start great, and we’ve been making up for it since. Our transportation department is on top of it. I do say that with confi dence.” Sydney, Whitaker’s daughter, goes to Dater Montessori. When they got their bus card the Friday before school was supposed to start, it said Sydney would be dropped off at daycare at 4:10 p.m. (Actually, the 5-year-old would be dropped off on Glenway Avenue, across the street from the daycare, with no crosswalk, Whitaker said, but that’s a separate issue.) Whitaker learned her daughter was late to daycare, so she called Queen City

Separate from the consultant’s report, The Enquirer reviewed four offi cial complaints fi led by DOTE employees in 2017 and 2018. One was about an employee who didn’t get her annual raise. She fi led a grievance with the union, saying the decision was unfair, and her supervisors ultimately agreed to give her the raise along with back pay. A second complaint – a charge of discrimination and retaliation based on race and disability – was dismissed by the Ohio Civil Rights Commission. In June 2018, one female employee fi led a complaint against her female coworker, saying the co-worker had “referred to her as a ‘biittcchh.’ An investigation upheld the complaint, and the coworker got a written reprimand. Then in December 2018, a senior DOTE architect was suspended for 40 hours after one of his coworkers fi led a hostile workplace complaint that accused him and others of making comments about black children, people who speak languages other than English, millennials and the “Muslim problem,” to name a few. In one instance, the architect was accused of saying, during a discussion about how men get paternity leave, that if he “bangs a chick” he’d be able to take a vacation. In another, after The Enquirer reported on then-City Manager Harry Black going to a strip club, the architect reportedly said he was just upset he wasn’t invited. The architect was the only employee formally disciplined after that complaint, but investigators noted that “he is not solely to blame for the environment” in DOTE. They wrote that “witnesses from the department as a whole appeared either nonchalant or cavalier” about rules that prohibit discrimination and harassment.

Transportation, one of the companies CPS uses for busing. It took her a few tries to get through, she said, but eventually, she was able to give Sydney’s name and bus information. Then, the employee put her on hold. Whitaker stayed on hold but after a few minutes used another phone to call Queen City back. It just kept ringing, she said. Finally, she got through to the main switchboard, where the operator said it was an answering service, and all he could do was take a message. At that point, Whitaker started panicking. If Sydney got dropped off at the wrong place, Whitaker thought, she could be anywhere. That’s when Whitaker called the police. They sent an offi cer to take her statement, but before the offi cer arrived, around 5:20 p.m., Sydney fi nally was dropped off at daycare. “I was just so worried,” Whitaker said. “I was beyond panicked. I thought my kid was dead.” A spokesman for Queen City Transportation initially said Sydney was dropped off at 4:39 p.m., about 30 minutes late. When The Enquirer shared proof that Sydney arrived later, the spokesman clarifi ed that the bus fi rst arrived outside the daycare at 4:39 p.m. But the driver felt Glenway Avenue was too unsafe for Sydney to cross. So she stayed on the bus for the rest of the route, and the driver stopped on the return trip to let Sydney off closer to her daycare. Sydney’s route has been adjusted so that she’s dropped off closer to her daycare, the spokesman added. Whitaker understands the fi rst week of school can be chaotic, but she doesn’t understand why CPS and the bus companies don’t communicate with parents if routes are running late. Sydney was an hour late on Tuesday and Wednesday as well, Whitaker said, and even a robo call or a mass email to all bus riders would have been a comfort – “Hey, if your kid’s not home yet, we’re still running routes.” Whitakerleft messages at Queen City but hasn’t heard back, she said. She’s tried contacting CPS, too, but the number for the transportation offi ce rings to a voicemail that is full.

‘My heart sank’: Catholics blame bishops for abuse problem 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.

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 cri-

sis. 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 re-

ports 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

‘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 See ABUSE , Page 6A

Hemp Gummies Shown To Relieve Discomfort Hemp Gummies offer users fast acting relief from joint and muscle discomfort that’s absolutely delicious; now available in the U.S. without a prescription

Chris Laufstein Associated Health Press BOSTON — For millions battling daily discomfort, this news couldn’t be more exciting. 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

Ezzard Charles sculpture to honor his legacy Rachel Berry and Erin Glynn Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Five years ago, Andrew VanSickle was walking his dog on the corner of Ezzard Charles Drive when ﬁ ve children asked if they could pet it. He started talking to the group of kids and asked if they knew who Ezzard Charles was. One pointed to the street sign. One thought he was the mayor. But none of them knew about the world heavyweight champion boxing who grew up in Cincinnati and lived near where they were standing in the West End. VanSickle wanted to change that and took it upon himself to make sure people coming to Cincinnati could learn about Charles’ life and legacy. Charles lived in Cincinnati most of his life, graduating from Woodward High School. The “Cincinnati Cobra” was the world heavyweight boxing champion from 1949 to 1951. He died in 1975 at the age of 53.

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.

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! Otherwise, simply return the empty bottles within 90 days. Then, the company will refund your money plus give you an extra $10 for having tried the product.

A year after that fi rst interaction, VanSickle met a woman whose son, John Hebenstreit, was a sculptor. That was when the idea to make a sculpture of Charles came together. Since then, VanSickle has been working with the Cincinnati Parks Foundation to get the project approved. He plans to place the sculpture in Laurel Park along Ezzard Charles Drive in the West End. VanSickle imagines the sculpture becoming a Cincinnati landmark where people can meet to take pictures and learn about a fi gure in the city’s history. The 13-foot sculpture will be accompanied by an interactive exhibit, the fi rst of its kind in a public park, VanSickle said. Visitors will be able to download an app and scan their phone to learn more about Charles and the West End. Jennifer Hafner Spieser, the executive director of the Cincinnati Parks Foundation, said the foundation is “proud to lead the fundraising eff orts to erect a statue of Ezzard Charles.” The foundation has already raised 20 percent of the estimated $275,000 it will cost to complete the project and provide for an endowment to be used for annual maintenance and programming. They’ve started a GoFundMe that VanSickle says will give people more ownership of the sculpture, being able to say they contributed to it. “The great thing about it is that sculpture is going to be there for the next hundred years,” VanSickle said.

Son: ‘I was so grateful’ Ezzard Charles II, son of the heavyweight champion, ﬁ rst heard of the project ﬁ ve months ago, when he received a text from VanSickle.

John Hebenstreit works on his sculpture of former World Heavyweight Champion Ezzard Charles set to debut in West End’s Laurel Park in 2020. ANDREW VANSICKLE/PROVIDED

“I was so grateful that they were even remembering my father in this way,” Charles told The Enquirer Friday. At the foundation’s opening fundraiser Aug. 15, Charles saw the sculpture for the ﬁ rst time. “It’s a wonderful thing,” said Charles, who lives in Illinois. “And the artist John – his whole vision – I think it’s wonderful.” The sculpture is set to be unveiled either in late spring of next year or on Oct. 6, 2020, which is Ezzard Charles day in Ohio.

About Ezzard Charles In 2009, Boxing Magazine named him the best light-heavyweight of all time. He, by the way, never won a title in that division. After moving from his native Georgia to live with his Cincinnati-based grandmother and great-grandmother at 9, boxing emerged as this talent’s calling. He went professional in 1940, two years before he graduated from Woodward High School. Military service in World War II paused his career. About 10 years later, on exactly Sept. 27, 1950, he defeated the formidable Joe Louis to become Lineal Champion, in earn the title of what is commonly known as the World Heavyweight Champion. During his years on top, he lived at 929 Lincoln Park Drive, what we would now call 929 Ezzard Charles Drive. The city honored Charles with the name change a year after his death in 1975 from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Lou Gehrig’s Disease. He had relocated to Chicago by then, a move he made about 10 years after retiring in 1956. Carol Motsinger contributed

Sheriﬀ : Man oﬀ ered child candy to get in vehicle Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Hamilton County Sheriﬀ ’s Oﬃ ce is investigating a report of child enticement hat occurred Wednesday, Aug. 28 in Whitewater Township.

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, 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.”

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 skyhigh 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

Spice up summer with shepherd’s salad with za’atar Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Shepherd’s salad with za’atarShepherd’s salad with za’atar. RITA HEIKENFELD

Shepherd’s salad with za’atar The request from a Northern Kentucky reader was for a Turkish type salad “with za’atar instead of sumac, a few olives and either feta or goat cheese.” I ﬁ ddled with a favorite recipe and adapted it. 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.

Viewpoints How can parents reduce risk of child molestation? Melanie Laughman Guest columnist Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A typical soccer mom can take four girls to practice in a sedan and, perhaps, fi t six boys in a minivan. Statistically speaking, according to a study released by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, one child from each car will be sexually molested before age 18. What’s more startling? The 90,000 child abuse cases reported a year only make up about 15 percent of the actual abuse, which means 600,000 other cases haven’t been reported. One serial molester can aff ect up to 400 kids in some way throughout his or her lifetime, though non-serial off enders could have as many as 40. By molestation, I mean using a child for sexual stimulation, such as sexual contact, indecent exposure, child grooming or child pornography. So if you’re a parent, what’s your course of action? Educate yourself on the risks: what do predators look for, how they hunt, and how you can identify potential abuse in your own child. Both of my kids are adults now, but it doesn’t mean I wasn’t unsettled by these details when I took child abuse training for my fi tness instructor job at the Greater Miami Valley YMCA through Praesidium. Keep in mind, several studies have diff ering numbers, but the overall message is the same. There are three basic types of off enders: Those who prefer to have sex with children, those who fi nd themselves in situations (like coaches, teachers) where they lose their boundaries and those who molest indiscriminately. Truth be told, just making sure your kids aren’t alone is about all you can do for the last one, which accounts for 11 percent of abusers. But the largest percentage of abusers are people you know,

about 60 percent. The likelihood it’s a family member? Another 29 percent. They tend to target kids who are shy or diﬀ erent, kids who have disabilities or behavior problems and kids in a single-parent home, but that doesn’t mean other kids aren’t at risk. It’s just a higher risk. The abusers also may be children themselves, repeating or acting out what they’ve been shown. That’s a rising demographic, actually, which is one reason why our YMCA oﬀ ered the training.

Basic characteristics of the adults ❚ Abusers have stable work histories. ❚ They like to be physical with children and often give them gifts. ❚ These charming people follow rules to stay under the radar and would rather spend time with children than adults. ❚ They try to win the child over through praise, secrets, jokes, physical aﬀ ection (hugs, tickling, massaging) and fun activities that make the children feel special. ❚ They also use social media and text messaging to privately contact their targets. Watch for a person who looks for opportunities to be alone with your child, such as private lessons, tutoring, providing transportation or babysitting. If 89 percent of them are either people you know or are family members, what are the chances you’d question that? Single moms or dads might actually appreciate a respite, which is the point. Their kindness makes it hard for parents to think it’s possible. There won’t likely be legal evidence, other than bruises or scrapes that could come from anywhere. What if you’re wrong? What if he/she is angered by your inquiries and your relationship is strained or ends? You wouldn’t want someone wrongly accusing you and don’t want to do it to others. They feed on that uncertainty. The grooming process doesn’t hap-

safe space. Listen calmly at full attention. Choose your language wisely, one that doesn’t place blame or scare them.

Ways to prevent it?

pen overnight — it could last months or years — and is designed to make the child or parent comfortable with the situation. Once it gets to the point of violation, kids don’t tell because they doubt anyone would believe them about a subject that’s hard for adults to discuss.

What are some signs? Let’s say the worst has happened. ❚ Children might begin touching or talking in a sexual way. ❚ They may lose interest in activities they normally love. ❚ Their grades may go south because they can’t think of anything else. ❚ They could start soiling their pants or ignoring hygiene. ❚ They could be extremely emotional: Yell, ﬁ ght, punch holes in the wall, hit teachers or parents and say things they don’t mean. ❚ They could be ﬁ ne one moment and volatile the next, with anger, guilt and shame. ❚ They lose trust because someone they know and/or love has betrayed them. ❚ Avoidance of church — “why would God let this happen to me?” — or any place where the abuse happened is possible. Having said all that, feeding the worries of falsely reporting, parents could see any of these, taken one at a time, as just normal adolescent behavior. But if you suspect anything, professional assessment would be smart. If they come to you, you must be their

If you see any inappropriate behavior, interrupt it, keep your child from that adult and report it. If you’re dropping those kids off at a practice or activity, consider staying or making sure two coaches or advisers are on site at all times. Make sure your home is safe when children come for play dates. Structure their time, limiting the places they play to small spaces and within your line of sight. Keep blinds open. Lock unused rooms or closets. If they go outdoors, keep their play area to a small space and stay with them in isolated areas, like wooded lots, should they want to play there. Separate kids in your home by age groups, and avoid letting older kids supervise younger ones. Wouldn’t hurt to have another adult in the house with you so everyone feels comfortable. Prevention, as much as is possible, can also help the mental health of our community. Depending on the severity of the abuse suff ered, adults molested as children tend to suff er from depression, be aggressive and have diffi culty forming close relationships, feeling safe in them. Weighted down by some emotional issues, they might develop eating disorders, abuse drugs or alcohol or even attempt suicide. People I love deeply were the kids in the car pool who’ve dealt with this. They are still dealing with this. I can’t take it back for them, but perhaps, with this, I can prevent it from happening to someone else.

How working aﬀ ects your Social Security beneﬁ t Nathan Bachrach and Amy Wagner Guest Columnists USA TODAY NETWORK

Question: Anthony from Bridgetown: My dad is retired but has decided he wants to go back to work for a little bit. Is this going to aff ect his Social Security benefi t? A: Your dad is part of a larger trend. In 2017, according to CNBC, more than half of people ages 60 to 64 worked at least part time. For those ages 65 to 69, just over a third did so. And yes, his benefi t could be impacted (at least, temporarily). But it will depend on a few factors. First off , there’s good news if your dad has already reached his Full Retirement Age (FRA) – he can earn as much as he would like, and his benefi t will not be reduced. This FRA ranges from 66 to 67 and depends on someone’s birth year. If your dad is collecting Social Security benefi ts but has not yet reached his FRA, an earnings limit kicks-in. In 2019, he can make up to $17,640 and his benefi t will not be reduced. But any earnings over that amount will be reduced: he’ll

lose $1 in benefi ts for every $2 earned. So, for example, let’s say he earns $24,000 this year ($2,000 a month). This is $6,360 over the annual earnings limit, so Social Security will reduce his benefi t by $3,180 over the course of the year ($265 a month). (Note: if your dad is self-employed, Social Security only counts net income.) If your dad reaches his FRA this year, the earnings limit is higher at $46,920. The benefi t reduction is also more lenient: he would lose $1 in benefi ts for every $3 in excess earnings. The good news? The benefi ts he “loses” will be recouped down the line. Once he eventually reaches his FRA, Social Security will recalculate his benefi t to account for these reductions. Here’s The Simply Money Point: Working in some capacity during retirement is becoming more and more common. Make sure your dad understands all the fi nancial implications. And don’t forget: Extra income could push him into a higher tax bracket, making Social Security benefi ts taxable as well. Q: K.S. in Bracken County: My company just started off ering a Roth 401(k). Is this something I should start using? A: We’re glad you’re asking this question because it’s a type of retirement account that, in our opinion, is still fairly

underutilized. While seven in 10 employers now off er a Roth 401(k) option, according to a recent Willis Towers Watson survey, less than one in fi ve workers actually make contributions to a Roth 401(k). Think of the Roth 401(k) as the opposite of the traditional 401(k). With a traditional 401(k), you get an up-front tax break on contributions and pay ordinary income taxes on withdrawals in retirement. With a Roth 401(k), there’s no initial tax break, but the account grow tax-free, meaning you pay no taxes on earnings or withdrawals once you reach age 59 1⁄ 2 and have held the account for at least fi ve years. Sometimes during the 401(k) vs. Roth 401(k) debate you’ll see a lot of advice that revolves around tax brackets now versus in retirement and why you need to calculate infl ation, the time value of money, etc. And if you want to crunch all those numbers, that’s fi ne. But here’s our thinking: the more fl exible your money can be in retirement, the better. Doesn’t having an account in which you can make tax-free withdrawals sound pretty good? Plus, while it’s virtually impossible to predict your tax bracket in retirement, we’re currently seeing lifetime-low tax rates – so where do you think they’ll go in the future? The Simply Money Point is that we

believe a Roth 401(k) off ers a great way to become more tax effi cient. And let us be clear, we’re not recommending not saving in your traditional 401(k). It’s not a one-or-the-other decision. Contribute to both, if you can. Every week, Allworth Financial’s Nathan Bachrach and Amy Wagner answer your questions in their Simply Money column.

ELDER LEGACY

Top football recruits have link to 1954 city championship 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 Times-Star, along with tackle Dick Royer. Other prominent See ELDER, Page 2B

CPS pushes Taft’s Stargel Stadium opener to week 3 Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

WEST END - The Ohio opener of the Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown last Wednesday, Taft vs. Northwest, was moved as Cincinnati Public Schools announced new Stargel Stadium was not ready to accommodate a game. The Taft Senators had been practicing on the new ﬁ eld and by early afternoon Friday, neither Tom Gamble of InGame Sports, the promoter of the Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown, nor the Elevar Design Group’s David Hester had been informed that the stadium wouldn’t be ready. However, after an afternoon meeting, Cincinnati Public Schools Athletic Director Josh Hardin conﬁ rmed recent rain had taken its toll on getting the

new facility game-ready by Aug. 28. All systems are still go for a grand opening and ribbon-cutting scheduled later for Sept. 13. “With the rain delays we had over the summer and projected what’s going to be happening this week and what could happen next week, we felt it was best for the kids and everybody to push to week three, that Friday, Sept. 13,” Hardin said. The fi eld is ready, but other accommodations weren’t quite set, such as the offi cials’ room, locker room and concessions. The third week still allows Taft to open its home fi eld when the team hosts Withrow at 7 p.m. Sept. 13. The Friday, Aug. 30, CPS game of Withrow vs. Woodward went to WoodSee STADIUM , Page 2B

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 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

Dick Royer “It’s tradition!” Ramthe sey said. “We’ve had a lot grandfather of great players. Fortuof Ohio nately for us those great State players have kids that becommit Joe come great players and Royer. 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.

Salon at Mac-O-Chee honors Cincinnati poet

Ceiling portrait of Sarah Piatt in Mac-O-Chee. PROVIDED

Queens of Queen City is proud to be featured once again as part of the Salon at Mac-O-Chee in West Liberty, Ohio, on Sept. 7, 2019. Co-creator S. E. Andres will be giving a riveting, groundbreaking lecture along with two other Sarah Morgan Bryan Piatt scholars in honor of the centennial anniversary of the Cincinnati poet’s death. This event is something history and literature buﬀ s do not want to miss and will be worth the drive.

The Salon will feature three speakers, all of whom work together to return Sarah to her former glory. Andres will be arguing that Sarah is the greatest war poet, active from Civil War to World War I and the Irish Rebellion and beyond. Last year Andres uncovered nine of her juvenile pieces under her maiden name Sallie M. Bryan. One of which was her only known narrative, a signiﬁ cant dis-

Ohio State University professor Dr. Elizabeth Renker will be talking about Sarah, as well as the craft and methods inPiatt volved in writing the ﬁ rst biography of a relatively unknown ﬁ gure, Sarah, entitled “Sarah Morgan Bryan Piatt: A Biographical and Critical Study. “Toledo-based Dr. Larry Michaels will be engaging the audiences with a presentation on Sarah’s use of dialogue, where people talk with each other. “Sarah Morgan Bryan Piatt was one of the greatest American poets of the 19th century;” Renker says, “yet since she was only recently rediscovered, her work remains mostly unknown to a wider audience.” Her work thrived while she lived in Cincinnati and North Bend, and the Cincinnati plays a dramatic role in her poetry.

Andres and Chelsie J. Hoskins connect the past to the present by lifting the voices, telling the stories and uncovering hidden gems of women in the Greater Cincinnati Area’s history through local schools, venues and publications. Aside from Piatt Castles, the duo has presented at Stand-Up History, Fibonacci Brewing, Super Heroines Etc. and Bockfest, among others with lectures in the works with various historical societies and museums. “Women’s history belongs to all of us; it tells everyday stories that get lost in the way history is shifted by those in power,” Hoskins explains. “We’re dedicated to talking about women in a way that reaches and inspires everyone.” “Chelsie and I really get to know these women, trying to understand how they lived, how they fi t into history and how they shaped the future. However,” adds Andres, “I don’t think I will ever be as invested in anyone as much as I am with Sarah. I’ve spent so much of my time with her, getting to know her like a person sitting in front of me. Every day I fi nd out more, and it’s incredibly intimate, especially when you’re reading her letters.” The salon’s space is quite an amazing work of art. Mac-O-Chee, built in 1879, was home to Cincinnatian Donn Piatt and his second wife Ella Kirby. Features include beautiful woodcarved framing, intricately handpainted ceilings and friezes and mailboxes from the castle’s stint as post offi ce. “Walking into MacO-Chee is like walking back into Sarah Piatt’s lifetime, but also being able to appreciate it from the perspective of today,” says Michaels. The Salon at Mac-O-Chee is on Saturday, Sept. 7, from 5-7. The castle’s address is 2319 State Route 287, West Liberty, OH, 43357. Visitors can make it a day and go to Ohio Caverns and Cedar Bog Nature Preserve nearby. Sean Andres, Queens of Queen City

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.

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 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 13 scouts with their Bronze Award and the young ladies plan to stay

Through Magnifi ed Giving, Delhi Township students became philanthropists Students from Seton High School in Delhi Township, joined by 4,200 regional students among 100 schools, were challenged this past school year by a local nonprofi t called Magnifi ed Giving to give money to causes whom they felt made a meaningful impact on the surrounding community. In the April and May Awards Ceremony, before friends, family, and the community, each school presented checks to their selected charities. At the beginning of the school year, Magnifi ed Giving gave each school group money with the stipulation that students make wise decisions on how to invest it in their community. Collectively, more than $174,700.00 was granted to 128 regional charities by 100 schools Magnifi ed Giving participants for the 2018 to 2019 school year. Seton High School granted $1,500.00

save up to

to Literacy Network. The Literacy Network of Greater Cincinnati champions the development of literacy in the individual, the family, the workplace, the school, and the community. Founded by Roger Grein in 2008, the vision of Magnifi ed Giving is for every high school student in America, beginning with Greater Cincinnati, to learn and be inspired to be lifelong educated philanthropists. The Evendale-based nonprofi t organization has awarded $878,000 through student-awarded grants to local charities. The benefi ts of Magnifi ed Giving go well beyond the immediate impact on regional causes. The program teaches students leadership and life skills and how to work together as a team toward a common goal. It introduces them to foundations, volunteer boards, and it touches students’ hearts in deep, long lasting ways. Michael Stanwick, Magnifi ed Giving
