Cincinnati Christian to close at end of fall semester The Enquirer

Cincinnati Christian University will close at the end of this semester and become an extension site of another college, oﬃ cials at the East Price Hill institution said Oct. 28. In spring 2020, Central Christian College of the Bible (CCCB), located in Moberly, Missouri, will open an extension site in Cincinnati to provide accredited ministerial degrees in the region. CCU, which was founded in 1924, was

faced with the possible loss of its accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission. The school has 547 students at its campus oﬀ Glenway Avenue, according to Collegescocard.ed.gov, with an average annual cost of $20,445. Less than half the students were in theology or religious studies, with the rest in business, psychology, education and English. The university’s website recently said it had 19 full-time faculty and 120 part-time faculty.

“CCU realizes this decision will greatly impact students and employees, but also views it as the best possible stewardship of the resources and opportunities God has provided,” the school said in a statement posted on its website. “Over the past two decades, it has become increasingly diﬃ cult to provide accredited ministry programs at a reasonable cost in a metropolitan location.

Missing Revolutionary War sword rescued from auction Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

When the Village of Cleves was readying to celebrate its 175th anniversary in 1993, members of a local historical society sought out the sword that village namesake John Cleves Symmes carried in the Revolutionary War. The sword was something of a legend in the southwest Ohio village. It had been passed down through generations of Symmes, including to John Cleves Symmes’ son-in-law, William Henry Harrison, who carried it during his presidential inauguration. But when the local group asked to borrow the sword from the CinHarrison cinnati Historical Society, it was told that it was gone – stolen sometime between 1978 and 1980. Members of the Harrison Symmes Memorial Foundation immediately ﬁ led a police report. But by then, the trail had gone cold. There was no rumor of who took it. No evidence left behind. It had, seemingly, vanished without a trace. Until recently.

Jack Collins and Evan Meyer, student athletes at Cincinnati Christian University, spent a little time chatting on the lawn outside the school’s welcome center, one day after learning the nearly century-old educational institution would cease to exist. Above them, words like “faith” and “unity” were printed on purple and white banners hanging about the East Price Hill campus.

practice. Collins, a 23-year-old international student from Australia, laughed as Meyer said some students had been looting athletic gear, including jerseys. “Yeah, students have been taking stuﬀ from the athletic department,” Collins said. Less than 24 hours earlier, Dalia Gibson was working out when a friend told her to check her phone. Cincinnati Christian’s board of trustees – in a letter Monday to students that began with a cheery greeting: “We hope this letter ﬁ nds you well!” – said it would no longer pursue maintaining its accreditation. Without accreditation, a college’s students may not have access to federal loans or grants. At Cincinnati Christian,

that’s a concern since 71% have such loans, according to a U.S. Department of Education website. CCU offi cials did not return multiple requests for comment. Gibson said the decision to close was unexpected. “They say no one knew,” Gibson said of the closure, which takes eff ect after this semester. “I feel like there’s no way.” Her father, Gibby Gibson, told The Enquirer by phone that a school offi cial had assured him that the school’s challenges weren’t “going to be an issue.” See STUDENTS , Page 2A

Dave Sunberg, a member of Harrison Symmes Historical Society, as he does from time to time, was searching the internet for Cleves Symmes memorabilia. There it was, up for auction in Connecticut. The next morning. The Nadeau Auction Gallery citation read, Lot 0054; “Silver Hilt Smallsword by Jacob Hurd, carried by Col. John Cleves Symmes and later by General William Henry Harrison.” Estimate: $30,000-$50,000. “I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or the stars aligned,” said Bev Meyers, president of the Harrison Symmes Historical Society. “But the sword is on its way back to us. I don’t know its journey, just where it ended up.” A Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Offi ce deputy retrieved the sword Friday, Oct. 25. It’s still a mystery who stole it and how it made its way to an auction house. The sheriff ’s offi ce is now investigating.

her roommate, Vanessa Peterman, wondered aloud what went wrong. Cincinnati Christian President Ron Heineman previously told The Enquirer that an 11-year decline in enrollment had been a key contributor to its revenue troubles. Gibson said outdated rules meant to discourage sex in dorms contributed to enrollment declines. At CCU, men can only enter women’s dorm rooms during specifi ed hours, and vice versa. Couples must keep both feet on the ground, can’t close their bedroom doors and have to keep the lights on, Gibson said. Peterman added that the school “wanted you to be a Christian,” but didn’t do enough to court minorities, possibly hurting student interest in the school. Peterman and Gibson, both 18-yearold freshmen, also spoke about next steps: where to transfer, how much in scholarship money they’ll lose (both have athletic scholarships). “They (school offi cials) kept reassuring us it would be fi ne, and I feel like they kept it under wraps. And now I feel it’s a big lie,” Peterman said. Samuel Mock, a 27-year-old divinity master’s student, moved from Lexington to the Cincinnati area to be closer to the school. He defended the decision to close, saying he believes school offi cials would have “exhausted all eff orts” to preserve accreditation. There have been at least eight lawsuits against Cincinnati Christian over fi nancial issues dating back to the 1980s. In 2012, Florida-based Bayview Loan Servicing LLC sued the school for $215,770 in unpaid mortgage fees, and the school was ordered to pay the money back. A restructuring plan was implemented by the school in 2015, a period when it had a pattern of operating at a $350,000 defi cit per month, the Higher Learning Commission wrote in its report. A fi nancial audit from June 2018 found a decrease in the school’s liabilities and net assets, from about $16 million in 2017 to about $14.6 million in

Several problems became public when the Higher Learning Commission, an accrediting agency, identifi ed several fi nancial and academic issues earlier this year. Chris Hahn, the chairman of CCU’s board of trustees, expressed optimism in a statement shortly afterward. Though the accrediting agency said there was “substantial doubt” that the school would remain accredited, Hahn said “many of these issues have already been resolved” and he was “confi dent” the university would remain open. Hahn also stated that CCU had until June 2020 to solve the issues. Collins, the soccer player, thought that meant he’d be able to complete work on his sports management degree. He’s a senior and hoped to graduate before then. “Everything has changed all of a sudden,” he said. In a letter to students, the board said it was working on agreements with 12 schools to allow students to complete their degrees. Among them are Xavier, Thomas More and Mount St. Joseph universities. Some students have already reached out to admissions offi cials at Xavier, according to Doug Ruschman, a university spokesman. Greg Greene, a Mount St. Joseph spokesman, wrote by email that the school can’t guarantee all CCU credits will transfer over. But the institution is off ering an accelerated admissions process for CCU seniors. Other students still have time to apply and enroll next semester, Greene added. And Thomas More will accept all CCU credits, except those from remedial courses, as equivalent or elective credits if students earned a C- or higher, according to spokeswoman Rebecca Stratton.

2018. And Heineman, the president, held other roles that posed confl icts of interest, the Higher Learning Commission found. He served on the school’s board and as a chief restructuring offi cer for Central Bank, the institution’s primary lender. “The president considers the bank’s interests to take precedence over institutional interests,” the commission wrote, “and he serves in the (chief restructuring offi cer) role because the line of credit is essential to CCU’s survival.” Sport expenses increased tenfold over a decade period ending in 2017, according to U.S. Department of Educa-

RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS?

Respiratory therapists are nationally recognized, credentialed professionals responsible for the care of patients with acute or chronic cardiopulmonary diseases like asthma, COPD, and emphysema. Associate degree graduates are eligible to take the NBRC credentialing exams to earn the RRT credential. Cincinnati State’s credentialing exam pass rates are well over the national average, even those of 4-year universities! US News and World Report shows that respiratory therapy is ranked #36 on the list of the top 100 jobs! Cincinnati State’s Respiratory Care Program boasts 100% job placement, 100% employer satisfaction, and 100% graduate satisfaction.

“CCU has approached this challenge by exploring mergers, adding other programs, and expanding athletic programming to attract more students. These strategies have allowed the school to serve new populations but have not overcome the ﬁ nancial challenges that face many private, residential colleges today.” Chris Hahn, chairman of CCU’s trustees, said in the statement “This uniting of forces to gain ground for the future of the church does my heart good. I’m excited for our current and future students.” In a letter to students, CCU identiﬁ ed 11 colleges other than Central Christian where they can transfer and potentially graduate next spring or fall. The colleges include Mount St. Joseph, Thomas More and Xavier universities locally. Central Christian has 226 students, according to Collegescorecard.ed.gov, and virtually all the students are in theology. It’s located about 160 west-northwest of St. Louis, in north central Missouri. The decision to close came after the

tion data. The school’s sports expenses doubled in 2016 from the year prior, the same year it introduced a football team. Football accounted for about one-third of the $3.9 million total that year. Peterman, the freshman student studying worship ministry, said she felt lured in by the school at a time when it was struggling ﬁ nancially. She is concerned about losing her music scholarship and a basketball scholarship she’d been hoping to earn as a walk-on player. But she is trying to remain optimistic “In a way, it was all for nothing,” she said, “but at the same time it was good while it lasted.”

university’s board chose to withdraw from the accreditation process. The Higher Learning Commission, which accredits institutions in 19 states, sent a letter to CCU on July 11 identifying a number of academic and fi nancial issues. Among the problems: the commission found CCU president Ron Heineman had three positions that “posed” confl icts of interest. The president also serves on the school’s Board of Trustees and as a chief restructuring offi cer for Central Bank, the institution’s primary lender. “The President considers the bank’s interests to take precedence over institutional interests,” the commission wrote, “and he serves in the (chief restructuring offi cer) role because the line of credit is essential to CCU’s survival.” The commission also found no documentation delineating the relationship with the bank or the terms of the agreement. Those factors led the commission to fi nd the university had not met a core criterion for accreditation – that it operates with integrity, including fi nancial integrity. Cincinnati Christian offi cials said they will work with Central Christian to serve more congregations and ministry leaders through the Center for Church Leadership, based at Concordia University Irvine in southern California. The center serves more than 800 congregations nationwide, is led by its own staff and advisory council, and collaborates with leading Restoration Movement churches and organizations. In 2020, the CCL will launch major new initiatives in congregational consulting, clergy search, and directory services, and hopes to include over 2000 churches in its network by 2021.

Sword seller: ‘It’s very upsetting’

represented New Jersey in the Continental Congress in 1785 and 1786. That’s right. He was a contemporary of Thomas Jeﬀ erson, Ben Franklin and the rest of America’s Founding Fathers. In 1788, he moved to the Northwest Territory, settling in what would later become North Bend, Ohio. Symmes purchased from Congress about 330,000 acres between the Great Miami and Little Miami rivers, an area known as the Symmes Purchase or Miami Purchase, which is now most of Hamilton, Butler and Warren counties. He then sold parcels to settlers, including land that would soon become Losantiville, which later was renamed Cincinnati. Symmes himself founded North Bend, Ohio, in 1789. He and his wife had three daughters, one of whom, Anna Tuthill Symmes, married Harrison, to whom Symmes gave the sword. Harrison, a major general in the U.S. Army, carried the sword in the War of 1812. During that war, Harrison led the army in the Northwest Territory and defeated Shawnee war chief Tecumseh in the Battle of the Thames. Symmes died in 1814. The area was later named for him. Harrison was inaugurated ninth president of the United States in 1841 and died shortly thereafter.

The sword popped up on his computer screen. It would be perfect for the museum’s collection, Sunberg thought. He didn’t know the story of the stolen sword, just that this one was awesome. So at 4:13 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18, he emailed Rodney Gibbons, the foundation member in charge of museum artifacts, sending a link to the auction with this comment, “Hi Rod. Check this out.” Gibbons was stunned. Was this the stolen sword? He immediately emailed all the foundation members, including Hamilton County Judge Robert Ruelhman. “Wow,” Gibbons wrote. “I wonder if this was the one that was stolen.” Foundation member Tom Ratterman said it certainly seemed so. The auction was set for 11 a.m. Saturday. The minimum bid was $15,000. Ratterman emailed the auction house saying the foundation had reason to believe the sword was stolen property. With no return email by morning, Ratterman called the auction house early Saturday morning. And then he called the Windsor police, worried the auction house wasn’t taking it seriously. The Windsor police told him they needed local police involvement so Ratterman did that too, eventually talking to Cleves Sgt. Justin Habig. It was just before 9 a.m. The auction was going to start in two hours. Meanwhile, at 9:15 a.m., the seller, James Kochan, called Ratterman, saying he doubted the sword was stolen. He said he is an expert in early American Military History and bought the sword from a reputable dealer in 2015 and was selling it himself as part of a benefi t auction to raise money for his foundation, The Mars & Neptune Trust. On Friday, he told The Enquirer there is evidence these are two diff erent swords and he believes the Hamilton County Probate Court sword was a copy. There is a diff erence in length; a difference in inscriptions; a diff erence in form, Kochan told The Enquirer. “I said this is all a crank call,” Kochan said. “We all thought that. Then all of a sudden the Windsor police show up and want to take the sword. I said, ‘Where is your injunction? Where is your paperwork?’ They don’t have it.” Kochan didn’t want to give it to the offi cers, but they were the police, so he did. “We’re debating what legal action to take. It’s very upsetting about how it was all handled,” Kochan said. “It was unprofessional and ungentlemanly.” He got off the call with Ratterman without any sort of resolution. Ratterman fi led a local police report, which the Windsor police used to seize the sword. “John Cleves Symmes deserves to be remembered,” Ratterman said. “He named our county, and there is strong evidence he named Cincinnati as well. To have his sword back, it’s something we never expected in our lifetime to see. It’s part of us. It’s part of our community.” Online producer Jeff Suess contributed.

The sword was missing The sword was passed to the eldest male in each generation of the family who had served in the military. It, along with other John Cleves Symmes memorabilia, was bequeathed to Hamilton County Probate Court in 1922, when a family descendant donated it to the Hamilton County Court, Meyers said. Historical letters show the probate court loaned the sword given to them to the Cincinnati Historical Society, and it was part of a bicentennial display at Union Terminal in 1976. After that, the sword was packed away for safe-keeping in the basement of the Cincinnati Art Museum, still on loan to the Cincinnati Historical Society, Meyers said. In 1980, Meyers said, members of the Harrison family, who lived in Texas, reached out to see the sword, but were told it was missing. No police report was fi led, Meyers said. No one gave much thought to the sword until 1993, as the Cleves anniversary approached. “We wrote a letter and never got an answer,” Meyers sad. Finally, it came out that the sword was missing. A May 25, 1993, letter from Cincinnati Historic Society Director Gale Peterson to probate court said the sword was stolen sometime in the spring 1979. “I am sorry to report that the sword is still missing,” Peterson wrote. She said a police report had been fi led, but the foundation never could fi nd one. So they fi led their own. A few months ago, a woman reached out to the foundation to donate a tureen that belonged to Harrison, off ering it to the museum, Meyers said. It got the foundation thinking again about that

Bev Meyers, President of the Harrison Symmes Memorial Foundation, stands at the William Henry Harrison Memorial in North Bend on Oct. 25. Meyers helped recover a stolen sword that once belonged to William Henry Harrison, who became president and wore it during his inauguration. It was gifted to Hamilton County Probate Court, which loaned it to the Hamilton Historical Society, where it was stolen. It was recovered during an auction. ALBERT CESARE / THE ENQUIRER

As Patents Expire and New Sex Pills Flood the Market, One Stands Out Among the Rest

As the last patents on the big pharma’s ‘little blue pill’ runs out, interest in finding new, natural remedies has been renewed. And out of all the new ones out there, there’s one getting all the attention. For Immediate Release US− Are we witnessing the end of an era for Viagra? Since the famous “little blue pill” exploded on the market in 1998, becoming the fastest selling drug in history, it has made vast sums marketing it to sexually frustrated men all over the world. Within three months of its launch, Viagra had already earned $400m, and over the past two decades, it has consistently generated annual sales to the tune of $1.8bn. However, this will soon come to an end, as in 2020, as the remaining patents on Viagra expire for good. A whole host of generic versions have emerged in the past six years, often in quirky forms such as mint strips or breath sprays, as big pharma’s grip on the rights to the drug has slowly loosened. Soon, these are expected to flood the market, as manufacturers jostle for a slice of the pie. But while virtually everyone is focused on these generics, savvy consumers are focused on something much different. And although it’s natural, its performance has researchers far more impressed. For the first time in a while, America has a new sex pill.

A New Alternative for Sexually Frustrated Men The new pill called Vesele is part of a new class of performance enhancers for men. It works on the body and mind, triggering arousal and encouraging firmer and harder erections. Formulated with a special compound known as an “accelerator”, Vesele can transport its active ingredients faster and more efficiently into the blood stream, where it begins to work its magic. The patented ingredient blend initiates a process known as vasodilation, which causes arteries and vessels throughout the body to expand. This allows blood to flow directly to penis and genitals, resulting in harder erections which last longer. But what makes Vesele so remarkable, and what these other sex pills can’t do, is that also directs a small portion of this blood flow to the brain, which creates feelings of intense arousal. In laymen’s terms, users become incredibly excited and turned on. This is why the makers of Vesele say their pill has worked so effectively in Clinical Use Survey Trials (CUST). It stimulates the two most important organs for great sex, the penis and the brain.

The Brain Erection Connection Until now, medical researchers did not fully understand the brain-erection connection. It has now been made clear with Vesele. When both are supplied with a constant blood flow, men are harder and firmer for longer...and have unbelievable sex drives. “Most of the research and treatment methods for men’s sexual failures have focused on physiological factors and have neglected the emotional ones. For the leading sex drugs to work, like Cialis and Viagra, you need visual stimulation” explains Dr. Stephen Klayman, spokesperson for Vesele. “And although they work for some men, the majority

America’s New Sex Pill? Researchers seem to think so. Vesele is a new pill that cost just $1 a dose does not require a prescription. It works on both body and mind to increase arousal and hardness.

experience absolutely no fulfillment during sex. According to research published by the National Institute of Health, 50% of men taking these drugs stop responding or can’t tolerate their side effects...and on top of that they spend $50 per pill and it doesn’t even work half the time. This is what makes Vesele so different and effective. It floods the blood stream with key ingredients which cause arteries all over the body to expand. The patented accelerator speeds up this process even more. The result is a rush of blood flow to the penis and brain, helping to create an impressive erection and a surging desire for sex. Often, this is all men need to get going. And when taken regularly, many men say they are energized and aroused all day.”

Great Sex At Any Age With the conclusion of their latest human clinical use survey trial, Dr. Klayman and his team are now offering Vesele in the US. And regardless of the market, its sales are exploding. Men across the country are eager to get their hands on the new pill and according to the research, they should be. In the trial above, as compared to baseline, men taking Vesele saw a staggering 85% improvement in hardness over a four-month period. They also stayed harder for longer two times longer to be exact. These same men also experienced an astounding 82% increase in the desire for sex (libido/sex drive) and an even greater improvement in overall satisfaction and ability to satisfy their partners. Many men taking Vesele described feeling horny and aroused through the day. The anticipation before sex was amazing. They were also easily turned on. Their moods were more upbeat and positive, too.

Faster Absorption into the Blood Stream Vesele is made up of three specialized ingredients: two extra strength vasodilators and a patented absorption enhancer often called an accelerator. According to an enormous amount of clinical data, each is very safe. They are even listed by the FDA as GRAS ingredients. Research shows that with age, many men lose their desire and interest in sex. They also struggle to produce an erection firm enough for penetration. And although there are many theories as to why this happens (including a loss in testosterone) one thing is certain, inadequate blood flow is virtually always to blame. That’s why sex drug manufacturers focus on blood flow, it makes you hard so you can have sex.

But what’s more surprising, and what these manufacturers have failed to consider, is that lack of blood flow can also kill your sex drive. That’s because blood supplies the brain with energy. This energy is required for creating the brainwaves that make you feel aroused and excited. Studies show the Vesele stimulates the entire cardiovascular system, including the arteries that lead to both the brain and penis wheras other sex pills focus only on the erection. The extreme concentration of the ingredients combined with the accelerator ensures that this process starts quickly. The sexual benefits of Vesele are also multiplied as its ingredients build up in the system over time. This is why many men take it every single day.

Three Rivers teachers have no conﬁ dence in district leadership Segann March Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Three Rivers Education Association says the administration is creating a hostile work environment for teachers across the district. TREA recently expressed concerns by taking a vote of “No Confi dence” in the Three Rivers School District leadership. The group’s main concern is how the administration is making its decisions pertaining to staff and students. “The leadership of Craig Hockenberry, Jeff rey Langdon, and the Board of Education during the last several years has created an unusually diffi cult and acrimonious relationship with the TREA and its members,” said a statement from the union. “TREA has attempted to bring these concerns to the attention of the district leadership on numerous occasions. A decision to take and publicly announce the ‘No Confi dence’ vote was made by the TREA only after many failed discussions.” Superintendent Craig Hockenberry said the district was shocked when they heard about the concerns and didn’t know about the situation until media outlets reported it. “We had no idea this was coming,” Hockenberry said. “It was kind of a shock. I’m not saying that there’s not issues (in the district). Every school district has issues. We were obviously very disappointed in the vote of no confi dence.” The TREA has more than 80 members including teachers, guidance counselors, and other education professionals. The teacher-ran group is an affi liate of the Ohio Education Association and the National Education Association. TREA offi cials said they have spoken

with the administration on several occasions to discuss their concerns. Concerns: ❚ Providing inaccurate, incomplete and misleading district information during discussions with TREA. ❚ The district is fostering a hostile work environment and establishing an environment where staff feels targeted. ❚ Divulging inaccurate, incomplete and entirely false information regarding staff to members of the community. ❚ District decision making fails to create the best learning environment for students. ❚ Failure to represent the core values of the district, which promotes an inclusive environment, when eliciting input from only a select group of staff . In total, the district has 300 employees. Of the 135 teachers across the district, only 85 of them are union members, Hockenberry said. He said the union and district meet once a month. When the Enquirer reached out to TREA members for comment, teachers said they could not give out more . Jason Hughes, a Three Rivers parent, has been voicing his opinion on social media about the district’s lack of transparency and how the superintendent and deputy superintendent treat their teachers. He said the community wants better. The Board of Education – which consists of fi ve elected members – went into an executive session during a special meeting last Wednesday night to discuss the vote of no confi dence and strategies to address the concerns, according to Board President Chris Oser. Oser said the board and district are taking the educators’ concerns seriously and want to get to the bottom of this.

Recent Studies Show Positive Effects on Women “In our most recent study, women taking Vesele saw a stunning 52% improvement in arousal and sex drive. Perhaps more impressive, they also experienced a 57% improvement in lubrication. You can imagine why some couples are taking Vesele together. Everything feels better. Everything works better. Everyone performs better. It’s truly amazing.”

A New Frontier of NonPrescription Sex Pills With daily use, Vesele is helping men (and women) restore failing sex lives and overcome sexual lets downs without side effect or expense. Through a patented absorption enhancer, the Vesele formula hits the bloodstream quickly, resulting in phenomenal improvements in erection firmness and hardness. By boosting blood flow to the brain, users also experience sexual urges and arousal they often haven’t felt in years.

$10 million gift to Cincinnati Ballet is its largest ever Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Margaret Valentine fondly remembers going to the Cleveland Ballet when she was a child, sparking a lifelong love of the ballet. A longtime Cincinnati resident, Valentine wants to make sure the Cincinnati Ballet is around for generations to come. So as the ballet announces its move to Walnut Hills to a new, larger building designed to meet the growing Cincinnati Ballet’s needs, Valentine and her husband, Michael Valentine, gave the dance company $10 million – the ballet’s largest gift ever. “It was evident the Cincinnati Ballet was growing and that their location was not going to be able to sustain the ballet in the manner in which it needed to be sustained,” Margaret Valentine said. “(This project) would be one that would benefi t the entire Cincinnati community.” The move is going to cost $30 million, according to the ballet. A fundraising drive began a little more than a year ago. Valentine’s $10 million donation, combined with a gift from Rhonda and Larry A. Sheakley, are the fi nal pieces to make the move possible. The ballet center will be named the Cincinnati Ballet Margaret and Michael Valentine Center for Dance. And the premier, or largest, studio will be named after the Sheakleys. “Peg (Margaret) and Michael have been dear friends for many years,” said Victoria Morgan, the ballet’s artistic director. “Several years ago, I had the great pleasure of working closely with Peg when they led sponsorship of our premiere production of ‘King Arthur’s Camelot’ during our 2013-2014 season. I learned fi rsthand how truly committed

Margaret Valentine and her husband Michael Valentine have donated $10 million to the Cincinnati Ballet, the ballet’s largest gift ever. LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER

Peg is to guiding an idea into reality. I am honored and thrilled that our new home will be called the Cincinnati Ballet Margaret and Michael Valentine Center for Dance.” The Cincinnati Ballet is a mid-size ballet compared to others across the country, with a $10.4 million operating budget last season. But as some ballet companies struggle – Cleveland’s closed and re-opened as a smaller company four years ago – the Cincinnati Ballet is scheduled to hold nearly 60 performances this season, drawing around 70,000 people. That’s up from 58,000 during the 2015-2016 season. And student enrollment at the ballet’s Otto M. Budig Academy has grown 21 percent since the 2017-2018 school year and is on pace to get even bigger during this year. In other words, it was time to move out of the ballet’s 36,000 square-foot building in the West End, adjacent to the future FC Cincinnati stadium. The new location is 57,000 square feet. Margaret and Michael Valentine attended the University of Cincinnati,

marrying after graduating. Michael Valentine and a partner designed the fi rst radar detector to use superheterodyne technology in 1976. The Valentines run Blue Ash-based Valentine Research, a privately held company that designs, manufactures and markets consumer electronics. Margaret Valentine is a UC trustee and, in 2016, she and her husband donated $6.5 million to the university’s Fifth Third Arena renovation. The couple has also made donations to various departments, including the engineering department, where Michael Valentine got his start. Margaret Valentine provided the fi rst fully endowed scholarship for a woman in sports in 2014, which was for tennis. For years, Margaret Valentine was a season subscriber to the ballet. When the company fell on tough times in 2008, leaving the question of whether there would be live music for performances, she stepped in to help. Margaret Valentine, with $500,000, was the lead donor for “King Arthur’s Camelot,” which premiered in February 2014. Then she was a signifi cant donor in helping put on the celebration of Cincinnati Ballet Music Director Carmen DeLeone’s 50th anniversary with the ballet. Since then, she’s supported the ballet’s touring eff orts, and when Morgan redesigned “The Nutcracker” for the 2011/ 2012 season, Margaret Valentine sponsored the children’s costumes. “I always enjoyed going to the ballet,” Margaret Valentine said. “But at the beginning, I didn’t see that I would be this involved. Part of it was meeting Victoria. She is so inspiring ... and she’s such an asset to Cincinnati, and under her leadership, the ballet has really prospered.”

Cincinnati Ballet unveils new dance center design Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Cincinnati Ballet on Friday unveiled design plans for a new 57,000square-foot ballet center in Walnut Hills. The ballet will move from its West End headquarters at 1555 Central Parkway to the new location to be built on a vacant lot at 1801 Gilbert Ave. The new Cincinnati Ballet Margaret and Michael Valentine Center for Dance - named after longtime patrons and supporters Margaret and Michael Valentine - will have eight studios, compared to four at the ballet’s current 36,000-square-foot building, according to a press release. The ballet said it's moving because it has outgrown its current facility. But the move will also allow FC Cincinnati to use the West End property, which it owns and leases to the ballet. The new ballet center is scheduled to begin programming in the summer of 2021. The ballet is currentl engaged in a building capital campaign to fund the $30 million project.

Turkey gravy, its leftovers, make way for roasted stuﬀ ed pumpkins

Do-ahead turkey gravy Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze 2 months. Delicious on its own, even better with drippings. Ingredients 2 to 4 turkey wings (2 will do if real large)

Rita’s Kitchen

1 very large onion, coarsely chopped (a generous 3 cups or so)

Rita Heikenfeld

2 carrots, unpeeled, cut in chunks and divided

The countdown to Thanksgiving is here and requests for do-ahead gravy pop up daily. So I’m sharing an updated version this year, with more aromatics for depth of ﬂ avor. It’s a good one! Making gravy ahead and augmenting it with drippings gives you lots of delicious gravy with no worries about running out. Check my site for a photo tutorial. Now that you’ll have leftover gravy (and hopefully turkey), I’m thinking you’ll want to make Jim’s roasted, stuﬀ ed pumpkins. And you may remember what I tell you each holiday season: don’t stress about everything being perfect – it never is. It’s not just about food, but who shares it with you.

2-3 ribs celery, cut in chunks and divided 9 cups low sodium chicken broth, in all Generous 1⁄ 2 teaspoon ea: dried thyme and sage or 1 generous teaspoon poultry seasoning 2 bay leaves Handful parsley, stems and all ⁄ 4 cup flour

Salt and pepper Instructions Preheat oven to 400.

Jim’s roasted stuffed pumpkins. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

Pour onto sprayed baking sheet with sides or other pan. Arrange wings on top. Roast 1 1⁄ 4 hours or until wings are very brown and skin is crisp.

Jim’s roasted stuffed pumpkins Jim Reinhart, an Indiana reader, is one of the best home cooks I know. Here’s his unusual, pretty and very yummy recipe, adapted from a magazine. Ingredients 2 small pumpkins or l bigger pumpkin 2 cups wild rice blend, cooked ⁄ 4 cup dried cranberries

Put wings and roasted vegetables in large pot. Add 1 cup broth to baking sheet and scrape up brown bits. Add to pot. Add 6 cups broth, the remaining chopped carrots and celery, thyme, sage, bay and parsley. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 1 1⁄ 2 hours, until meat starts falling from bones.

21⁄ 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning Chopped pimientos (optional) Salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons butter

Remove wings and save for another use.

Turkey gravy (optional)

Strain broth into saucepan, pressing vegetables. Discard vegetables.

Instructions

1 shallot, minced

Preheat oven to 400. Cut tops off pumpkins and scoop out seeds.

2 cloves garlic, minced

Mix everything but butter and gravy together.

2 tablespoons celery, minced

Council approves eviction prevention plan, despite last minute questions from Pastor Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati City Council passed a set of new proposals aimed at reducing evictions, but without votes from Councilman Jeff Pastor who questioned whether the rules would be too onerous for landlords. The laws will: ❚ Create a rental registry, where landlords would be required to register rental properties, a list that includes addresses and emergency contacts. Hamilton County Auditor Dusty Rhodes has been critical of this idea because, per state law, his offi ce does this. But the city’s list is designed to more comprehensive with rent costs included. ❚ Create a tenant information page. This would provide tenants with information about their rights related to eviction and link to resources if they need help. ❚ Cap late fees. Late fees would be capped at $50 or 5% of monthly rent. Landlords will not be permitted to charge interest, which happens now. ❚ Create a rental inspection program, a pilot program in Clifton Heights, University Heights and Fairview, East Price Hill and Avondale. The law calls for any landlord in these areas who have outstanding code violations for more than a year and have been deemed a chronic nuisance to inspections. Then after the fi rst inspection, landlords not in compliance would be subject to monthly inspections every 30 days. Cincinnati City Councilman Greg Landsman introduced the legislation last week, after a year of work with outside agencies about what would help fi x what housing experts call a crisis. “There are thousands of preventable evictions in Cincinnati every year,”

Anedrea McKinstry of Avondale, with her son Michai Anderson, 2, talks with Cincinnati councilman Greg Landsman before she faces a magistrate during an eviction hearing at the Hamilton County Courthouse. Landsman is working to keep people in their homes. CARA OWSLEY/THE ENQUIRER

Landsman said. “Most of them involve children and we have the power to prevent it. These will improve the quality of housing and empower tenants.” Landsman’s fellow council members praised the work that went into the legislation. He garnered support from the apartment association, which has long been against inspection programs. Councilman Wendell Young said “everyone has the right to a decent place to live. Most landlords are decent and try to do the right thing, but we are cursed with a small number who take advantage of vulnerable people.” Council voted 7-1 for ﬁ ve laws that enact the new policies. Vice Mayor Chris-

topher Smitherman was absent and Pastor voted against them. Dozens of people turned out during public comment to support the proposals, with just a few against. Pastor, in a string of tweets Wednesday morning, said he wants to help prevent evictions, but is concerned about how the laws would hurt landlords. He questioned the legality of inspections and doesn’t think landlords should have to publicly list rents they charge. Pastor, a Republican, doesn’t like the idea of requiring landlords to share what they charge for rent, as the rental registry calls for. Instead, he’d like the city to work with Rhodes.

Fernald nuclear legacy plan changes proposed Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Nature-lovers can visit the 1,500acre Fernald Preserve in Hamilton County, but don’t pick the grass, swim or camp at the cleaned-up nuclear weapons uranium processing site. There’s also no smoking, open fl ames or pets allowed on a list of 15 prohibited activities at the U.S. Department of Energy-monitored nature preserve. Uranium for nuclear weapons was made at Fernald from 1952 to 1989. A $4.4 billion-site cleanup was completed in 2006 to meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards, according to a Department of Energy fact sheet available online. The 1,500-acre Fernald site is one of two U.S. nuclear sites to be cleaned up to the point where the public can visit, according to a USA TODAY article. Proposed changes to the department’s Offi ce of Legacy Management’s oversight plan for the preserve have been announced in a draft eight-page plan change that is online or at the preserve’s visitors center. The federal agency has given the public until Nov. 8 to email or mail comments about the proposed changes, according to a DOE news release. Major proposed changes include: • The annual review will be completed each September rather than submitted each September. A full revision of the Legacy Management and Institutional Controls Plan (LMICP) will still be required at least every fi ve years. • The wording of what is prohibited at the preserve was changed in two areas. Removing or damaging natural or manmade materials is the proposed new language instead of prohibiting archaeological materials. Littering rather than dumping will be on the prohibited activities list under the proposal. • The proposed changes add language directing scheduled inspections of any recently burned or mowed areas

And he’s concerned about the inspection program. “The Residential Rental Property Inspection Pilot Program also has some issues,” he tweeted Wednesday. “I’ve seen posts on social media questioning its constitutionality. I’m not a lawyer, but this concerns me greatly as this could end up being litigated and costing the taxpayer.” Plus, he added, the neighborhoods aﬀ ected weren’t fully engaged in crafting the laws and charging landlords for inspections could cause landlords to raise and prompt even more evictions. “This will lead to burdensome enforcement of non-life threatening issues to long-time neighborhood folks who are doing their best and not actually target the ‘bad landlords,” Pastor said in the tweet thread. Cincinnati has almost 85,000 rental properties, about 62% of all housing units in the city, according to U.S. Census estimates. It’s among the highest in the Midwest. From 2014 to 2017, an average of 12,439 residential evictions a year were ﬁ led in Hamilton County, according to University of Cincinnati sociology PhD candidate Elaina Johns-Wolfe, author of the eviction study “You are being asked to leave the premises.” In January, council provided a onetime allotment of $227,000 for eviction prevention. Mayor John Cranley, in the 2020 budget, which began July 1, made the program permanent, with a pledge to put $250,000 a year into eviction prevention. The program got underway in July and for July, August and September, statistics show 540 people applied, with 97 households – 18 percent of the applications received – getting $62,000 total in help. The average amount of assistance was $639 per household.

Two popular chain restaurants — Buff alo Wild Wings and Jet's Pizza — are in the process of being built in Green Township. Frank Birkenhauer, the administrator of Green Township, said Jet's Pizza Restaurant is starting to undergo construction, while Buff alo Wild Wings is under review by the Hamilton County Building Department. The Hamilton County Zoning Commission approved a proposal in August to build Buff alo Wild Wings on the Harrison Avenue corridor behind Kroger Marketplace. The Jet's Pizza Restaurant is being built at Harrison Avenue and Filview Circle.

to happen. Starting in 2012, walking inspections of the cap covering the waste areas have been conducted in late fall or early winter once warm-weather grasses go dormant. • An aerial survey of the site using light detection every ﬁ ve years will start in spring 2020 instead of 2019 under the proposed change. The changed language adds that the survey will happen after “the prescribed burn of the northern half of the cell cap.” • How water that has leached out into a collection system will be treated will also diﬀ er in the proposed variance.

This is the fi rst year changes identifi ed during an annual review will be communicated using variances to the plan instead of creating an entirely new comprehensive Fernald plan each year, according to the news release. The number of changes to the annual comprehensive plan has steadily decreased in recent years, according to the release.

Elder grad Ramsey playing his best football the year he lost his job Gregg Doyel gregg.doyel@indystar.com USA TODAY NETWORK

BLOOMINGTON – When it happened, Peyton Ramsey went into isolation. Normally a gregarious guy, a popular member of the IU football team — a leader, in good times and bad — he couldn't hide the hurt when coach Tom Allen named redshirt freshman Michael Penix Jr. the Hoosiers’ starting quarterback in late August. Peyton Ramsey, a redshirt junior on pace to set every major passing record in the school record book, was going to the bench. And he went into hiding. Just for a day or two — nothing ridiculous, nothing unsurprising — but he didn’t say much to anybody but his parents, calling them back home in Ohio, where his dad is a coach with multiple state championships at Cincinnati powerhouse Elder. To his parents, he spoke the truth. “He was heartbroken,” Doug Ramsey says. Hey, it wasn’t easy on Penix, either. He’s a quiet guy, thoughtful, humble. He and Peyton had grown close over the previous 20 months. That

fi rst practice after being named the starter, Penix isolated himself a little bit, too. He was standing by himself before practice, mentally taking it in, alone with his thoughts. Here’s what happened next: Peyton Ramsey walks up to Penix. They’re both emotional already, but now it’s stifl ing. Ramsey breaks the silence. “I’m on your side,” Ramsey tells the player who took his job. “I believe in you. You’re going to be great.” Greatness comes in diff erent shapes and sizes. And they all seem to fi t Peyton Ramsey.

'Backup QB' could break every record Nobody said a word to Peyton Ramsey when Penix was injured in the second quarter at Maryland. Nobody had to. He’s a coach’s son, and he’s the backup quarterback. He ﬁ gured he better start warming up. “Just in case,” he says. See RAMSEY, Page 2B

Lakota East soccer beats Elder in DI regional semiﬁ nal Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

With its back against the wall — or the goal — Lakota East was at its best. In the boys Division I regional semifi nal at Monroe High School, the Elder Panthers led 2-0 just under 10 minutes into the game’s fi rst half. The Thunderhawks then cut Elder’s lead in half. Two minutes later Lakota East had tied the game and with 3:51 left in the half, it led 3-2 on the way to a 4-2 victory. Elder goalkeeper Adam Dressman protected his 2-0 lead, blocking two strong shots right in front of the net. After a quick return by the Thunderhawks, Dressman couldn’t block Ethan Seppi’s shot and Elder’s lead fell to 2-1. About two minutes later, Brady Shapiro netted the equalizer from a corner kick. Dressman sprawled his body and stopped the ball, but the far offi cial ruled it had gone into the net for the score. Elder defenders continued to allow Lakota East in front of the goal. Whiff ed kicks and headers by the Panthers gave Dressman a full day of work and he held strong until the clock read 3:51. Lakota East senior Adam Karman, with his back to the Elder goal, corralled a Dressman block and kicked his leg and ball back and into the goal. The Thunderhawks controlled the rest of the game and sat comfortably for the victory.

“(Karman) ﬁ nds a way,” Lakota East coach Jeremy Hilen said after the game. “He’s come on big for us in the tournament. He gave us the goal that tied it in the Turpin game. He knows how to ﬁ nd the net. He knows how to position himself in the right spots around the goal.

He got his head up and found the spot where it was open and put it in.” Elder’s Andrew Mueller opened the night with a goal slightly more than 90 seconds into game time. Later, Mueller passed and placed a ball right to Cam Jansing who scored with 29:16 left in the

Ramsey Continued from Page 1B

Ramsey grabbed IU’s third quarterback, Jack Tuttle, for 15 or 20 tosses before it was IU’s ball and the decision was made: Penix wasn’t coming back into this game. Ramsey missed on his fi rst pass attempt, but completed his next one. And the next. And the next. Ramsey completed fi ve consecutive passes for 67 yards, leading the Hoosiers to a fi eld goal. On his next possession he made an NFL throw to Nick Westbrook, a long fade for a 26-yard touchdown to spark a 34-28 IU victory. It’s what he’d done earlier this season, against Eastern Illinois, when he replaced Penix and went 13-for-14 for 226 yards, two touchdowns and the school’s single-game record for accuracy at 92.9 percent. And it’s what he has continued to do. He started for Penix against Connecticut and went 23-for-27 for 247 yards and three TDs. The week after the Maryland game, Ramsey started at Nebraska and produced the best game of his career: 351 yards passing, 393 yards in total off ense, two TDs passing, one TD rushing. He was named to the weekly Great 8 list by the Davey O’Brien Award, given at season’s end to the country’s best quarterback. IU coach Tom Allen thinks about the way Ramsey played with no warning at Maryland, just coming off the bench and leading the Hoosiers to a road victory, and he makes a noise that sounds like an exhale of relief. Or shout of celebration. Hard to tell. “That guy just — choo!” the excitable Allen shouts before lowering his voice. “Rock steady.” Allen has more to say on the topic of Peyton Ramsey, backup QB. “You think about all you have to do to be ready (to play),” he says. “Our off ense is not super simple. No one’s really is. A lot of things you have to do to be ready, and to do that with no guarantee you’ll get to play … I’ve done this a long time. Not many guys can do that. Especially at this age.”

Here's why Ramsey didn't transfer Never mind the numbers Peyton Ramsey is putting up. People can’t seem to believe he’s still here. The IU head coach, I’m talking about. Teammates. Anyone who pays attention to college football. All over the country, quarterbacks are

leaving one school for another. Three of the top contenders for the 2019 Heisman Trophy are transfer QBs: Oklahoma’s Jalen Hurts (from Alabama), Ohio State’s Justin Fields (Georgia), and LSU’s Joe Burrow (Ohio State). The last two players to win the Heisman, Oklahoma’s Baker Mayﬁ eld (from Texas Tech) and Kyler Murray (Texas A&M), were transfers. “His mental toughness has been displayed by how he’s handled the adversity of not being named the starter,” Allen says. “Staying the course, choosing to stay here at Indiana, and not just choosing to stay but choosing to be locked in. That to me is really the testament.” Staying at IU, Allen says, “is a big deal. Because it doesn’t happen as much any more.” Ramsey says he didn’t even think about leaving in August. “It wasn’t something that crossed my mind,” Peyton Ramsey says. “I knew at some point I was going to be needed here. There’s so many guys in that locker room that I care about. If I walked out on them, I wouldn’t be able to live with it.” Ramsey wasn’t in the same position as some of those quarterbacks mentioned earlier. The three current Heisman front-runners — Hurts, Fields, Burrow — were graduate transfers, meaning they could transfer and be immediately eligible, though Mayﬁ eld and Murray were not. They just left anyway.

Ramsey had the chance in August, and he will have it again in May after he gets his degree in education. And he will have options. It’s against the rules for college coaches to contact players at other schools about a possible transfer, but that’s happening with Ramsey. His father — also his high school coach — says he has been called by a number of coaches, including from Power 5 schools. “He’s playing at a high level, and showing people he is a good player,” Doug Ramsey says. “I’ve taken several calls from college coaches saying: ‘If he wants to play here, he has a spot.’ Which is illegal, so I’m not going to say any names, but there are people who want him.” Let’s not act surprised, OK? It’s horribly wrong, but that’s how the sausage is made in college sports. If you want to read about something more wholesome, well, you’re in luck. I’m not ﬁ nished writing about Peyton Ramsey.

Ramsey's team, but Penix's job As the victories are mounting and IU football closes in on one of its best seasons in decades, this is what Tom Allen has started doing: He scours IU game ﬁ lm for plays that show the toughness he expects, toughness that will help this IU team continue its breakthrough. After the Nebraska game, he showed his team ﬁ lm of Peyton Ramsey.

half for a 2-0 Elder lead. On a rain-soaked turf, Elder’s sloppiness grew and Lakota East used the chances that came along with it. Lakota East held pressure and kept the ball in front of Elder’s net. After missing enough chances, the Thunderhawks broke through on Seppi’s goal and didn’t let up. In the second half, Elder couldn’t keep a Lakota East corner away and Luke Birdsong scored with 8:35 left in the game to seal the trip to the regional fi nals. Elder fi nished its season at 12-6-2, bowing out before an opportunity to see familiar opponents in the regional fi nal.

IU linebacker Micah McFadden had already seen the hits in real time, including a shot to the sternum Ramsey absorbed while completing a 24-yard pass to Whop Philyor, setting up the touchdown that gave IU a 24-21 lead. “He took probably fi ve shots that could have knocked somebody out of the game,” McFadden says, “but he kept getting up because he knew he had to keep playing.” Allen showed the clip of that 24-yard pass to Philyor, of Ramsey going down and staying down for a moment before lifting himself up and heading for the next huddle. He showed a few more clips of Ramsey taking hits, too. Doug Ramsey was in the crowd at Lincoln, Neb., watching his son take those hits. Watching his son get back up. Throw for more yards. Win that game. Proud? Oh, you could say that. But surprised? No, Doug Ramsey wasn’t surprised. “He’s always been that way,” says Peyton Ramsey’s dad. “He doesn’t get rattled by anything. You watch him on the fi eld — he just keeps going, no matter what.” Doug Ramsey being a dad, he keeps going, too. Allow him to feel what he’s feeling for his son. “Things don’t aff ect him –— he doesn’t let them aff ect him,” Doug Ramsey says. “He’s been criticized a lot since he’s been at Indiana — fans, media — and he’s not nearly as bad a player as people at Indiana think he is. And I think he’s shown that now.” But for how much longer? “Mike’s our starter,” Allen said. “Peyton’s done a phenomenal job. If Mike can’t go, Peyton’s going to go and we all know Peyton’s going to do a great job.” Yes indeed it’s Penix’s job, and lord knows he did nothing to lose it. He got injured, is all, but before that he was posting numbers similar to what Ramsey has done. It’s almost a certainty that he’ll start again this season, and that he’ll enter 2020 as the Hoosiers’ starter. Would that push Ramsey, as a potential graduate transfer with immediate eligibility, to another school for his fi nal season? Maybe. But maybe not. Either way, he stuck around when so many around college football have not. He ignored the transfer portal to remain a Hoosier this season. “He loves this team with his whole heart,” Micah McFadden says of Peyton Ramsey, “or he wouldn’t have stayed here and done the things he’s doing.” Find IndyStar columnist Gregg Doyel on Twitter at @GreggDoyelStar or at www.facebook.com/gregg.doyel.

In honor of Veterans Day,

Ruth Kramer, the heart hero of Burwinkel Farms. PROVIDED

Local heart hero doesn’t need a cape Small but mighty. That is what people say about baby Ruth. She may only be 8 months old, but the impact she has had locally is unsurpassable. Ruth is the buzz at Burwinkel Farms this fall season, and it is her incredible strength that got her there. Ruth’s story begins back in February 2019. Ruth was born with a critical congenital heart defect called transposition of the great arteries (TGA). This heart defect caused improper blood circulation in Ruth’s newborn body, leaving her brain and other organs starved of oxygen. She was rushed to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Cardiac ICU, where doctors performed a balloon septostomy, allowing her body to fi nally receive oxygenated blood. Ruth’s dad, Michael Kramer, explains, “but she wasn’t out of the woods yet. Doctors decided to body cool her for 72 hours to slow down normal body processes in hopes of reducing damage to the brain and other organs from that initial lack of oxygen.” The doctors were not sure if there was already damage done until Ruth’s body was warmed back up. Ruth would also need open heart surgery in an attempt to correct the defect and normalize blood fl ow through her body. At just one month old, Ruth underwent open heart surgery for an arterial switch operation. The surgery was a huge success, and now the Burwinkel Farms Family is celebrating. Farm owner and maze designer, Bobby Burwinkel, created a grand tribute to his youngest niece in his fi eld artwork. “Baby Ruth, Heart Warrior,” is the message carved into the acres of sunfl ower fi elds at Burwinkel Farms, along with a heart theme throughout the design. Thousands of people have joined Burwinkel Farms this fall and visited the grand tribute. The design leaves visitors inspired and fi lled with joy. Visitors of all kinds have come to see Ruth, including many of the medical professionals who played a part in saving her life. Kramer says, “It is so great to have the medical teams involved in her care see her now, happy and healthy.” Burwinkel Farms also hosted their fi rst ever Heart Hero Fall Fest, in honor of Ruth. With the help of the Pediatric Congenital Heart Association-Ohio (PCHA-OH), Burwinkel Farms was able to provide no-cost, fall, family-fun to other Cincinnati heart heroes and their

families. The public was also encouraged to attend the heart hero event, with Burwinkel Farms donating a portion of ticket proceeds to the PCHA-OH in an eﬀ ort to continue supporting local heart families. Now, 7 months after open heart surgery, it is diﬃ cult to tell that Ruth had at tough start in this world. She is heart healthy and has a happy heart. Ruth is truly an inspiration to all those around her. Karen Burwinkel, Burwinkel Farms

St. Jude School rewards students based on mission, vision St. Jude School in Bridgetown, Cincinnati is a community rich in tradition and history, known for its welcoming community, dedicated families, and strong academics and faith development. The school started in 1958 and thrives today with 473 students and 40 educators focused on educating the whole child. For several years, a quarterly awards program primarily for students in grades 4-8 has existed to recognize academic achievement and behavioral metrics. This year, the school is revamping their student awards to focus on celebrating the whole child. Here are a few things that are staying the same: one child in each fi rst through third grade room will be recognized as the Top Mathlete or Reading Rocket. This is awarded by the teacher to the child who most exceeded her expectation during that trimester in that subject. Also, St. Jude will continue the “Judite Kind and Christ-Like” award, given to one child in each fi rst through eighth grade class chosen by the students. This is awarded to the students who most exhibited these qualities on a daily basis. This year the school is expanding recognitions Firstly, the school is adding a class-wide recognition called the “St. Jude Spirit Award.” This will be 2 traveling trophies, one for K-3 and one for 4-8. The specials teachers will choose one class at each of these levels to be recognized for their hard work, positive attitudes, and good behavior during the specials classes of art, music, gym, library, technology. Each classroom has its own patron saint with their own particular charism and qualities. The second core value will be adjusted a bit this year. The Academic Honor Roll will be simplifi ed this year for grades 4-8. This year, St. Jude will have just 2 levels of academic honors: High Honors and Honors. High Honors will be given for straight A’s in all subjects, and Honors for any combination of A’s and Eichhold explains why. “Grades in and of themselves aren’t bad things, but when they become the focus over the learning, we need to re-evaluate. Great learning isn’t always clean; students grappling with content actually leads to more permanence. We’re hoping that by splitting the categories it into larger silos, kids will focus more on what they are learning rather than putting too much value into every single earned point.” The next change has to do with St. Jude’s Personal Development Honor Roll. In the past, fourth through eighth grade students who had no more than 1 homework and behavior notices in a quarter would get a certifi cate of recog-

nition. A majority of our students earned this award. However, it set one bar for success. It’s OK for kids to have diff erent bars. Eichhold tells a story about his own life. “When I was growing up, my older sister very rarely missed a homework assignment. In fact, she remembers only three in eight years. Me on the other hand, if I missed only 3 a quarter, my mom would have been tickled. With the previous defi nition of personal development success, if we each missed just one homework assignment, we would have both been considered successful. However, that behavior was a near failure for her and an unbelievable accomplishment for me. Anyone who has more than one child or is a sibling can relate to this story on some level about something, be it sports-related, academic, or behavioral in nature.” Instead this year, the fourth through eighth grade kids wrote goals the fi rst week of school. The goals are individual to each child based upon their individual needs and talents. Working toward a goal is a great life skill and gets kids in a growth mindset. The goals ranged from sitting with diff erent groups of students at lunch, to always being prepared for class, to missing fewer than a given amount of assignments. This year, St. Jude will be adding a service recognition. Students that do a minimum of 10 hours of service a trimester will get a certifi cate. St. Jude, Community Relations

Fire trucks, fi refi ghters and fi re prevention at Oakdale Elementary Firefi ghters are everybody’s heroes, but never so enthusiastically as at Oakdale Elementary School. Green Township fi refi ghters visited second-grade classes to observe Fire Prevention Month in October, and the Oakdale students peppered them with questions – ‘Do you usually put out little fi re or big fi res?’, ‘What made you interested in being a fi refi ghter?’, ‘What do you keep in all those pockets?” Firefi ghter Matt Schmithorst talked to the students about calling 911, smoke detectors, and designated meeting places after a fi re. His colleague, Jim Duke, demonstrated putting on the fi refi ghting uniform and equipment. “Firefi ghters constantly go to school, just like you guys do,” said Mr.Schmithorst, who warned the students not to go back into their house to save a pet if their family experienced a fi re. The visit ended with a trip outside to see the equipment stored in a fi re truck – and an assignment to be completed with their parents. Krista Ramsey, Oak Hills Local Schools
