Editor’s View

How to Live Well W

hat does it mean to live well? Since we rebranded our health content as Live Well Cincy several years ago, I’ve had to answer this question many times. I’ve always said that it means to be healthy in all aspects of your life, from exercise and diet to your state of mind and even financial situation. There’s no one thing that signifies that you’re living well—instead, there are many ways to get there. With this year’s Live Well feature, we explored that idea quite literally—where can you go in the Tristate to live well? The answer is almost any where. We found healthy initiatives, programs and activities in the northern suburbs, east side, west side, northern Kentucky and central downtown area. From cooking classes to a new health innovation center, something health-related is always happening throughout the region. But that’s not all we explore in this issue. We also explore the state’s many museums, find books on local history and meet some of the Tristate’s best doctors. The following pages are full of new and exiting ways to explore the Tristate.

Escape the Holidays TAKE A BREAK FROM THE SEASON’S FESTIVITIES TO ENJOY SOME NON-HOLIDAY EXCITEMENT By Sara Prchlik

s Thanksgiving comes and goes the Tristate begins to explode with holiday festivities. From decorating your home to visiting the local grocery store, it’s nearly impossible to escape the season’s tidings. While merry and bright, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the non-stop jolly December brings. Luckily, this year Cincinnati is offering several nonholiday activities throughout December to keep the season fresh, bearable and joyous. A visit to “Chocolate: The Exhibition” is a sweet treat for the mind. Open throughout the month of December at the Cincinnati Museum Center, “Chocolate: The Exhibition” invites visitors to discover the extensive history of the cacao bean from its origin in the royal Mayan drink to its current role as a guilty pleasure.

Q&A

The Lebanon Horse-Drawn Carriage Parade features only horse-drawn carriages.

5 Questions with Angie Smith EVENT COORDINATOR OF THE LEBANON HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGE PARADE AND CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL By Corinne Minard

he Lebanon Horse-Drawn Carriage Parade and Christmas Festival, a regional holiday tradition for 30 years, returns bigger and better than ever Dec. 1. We sat down with Angie Smith, executive director for the Lebanon Area Chamber of Commerce and event coordinator of the parade, to discuss this festive event and what people can expect this year.

COULD YOU INTRODUCE AND DESCRIBE THE PARADE AND FESTIVAL FOR SOMEONE WHO HASN’T ATTENDED BEFORE? Located in Historic Downtown Lebanon, join us for the largest event to start the holiday season. The parade features only horse-drawn carriages. The highlights of the event are the 1 p.m. afternoon carriage parade and the 7 p.m. candlelit evening parade, which will have over 100 decorated carriages pulled by minis, Clydesdales, Percherons and many more! Bet ween parade times, v isit over 80

antique and specialty shops or browse the Christmas Festival on Mulberr y Street with food and craft vendors from 10 a.m.-8 p.m.

HOW DID THE PARADE AND FESTIVAL FIRST GET STARTED?

The parade first got started 30 years ago when several Lebanon community members met to brainstorm ways to bring the community together. Throughout the years, the parade has continued to grow, and turn into a holiday tradition for many throughout the area. Pat South was the founder of this great event.

DO LOCAL BUSINESS GET INVOLVED? IF THEY DO, HOW SO? Yes, many local businesses get involved in many ways such as offering discounts for shoppers during this day, sponsoring carriages (they get a carriage sign with their business logo), event sponsorships and volunteering to help make this event a success.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO OR SEE DURING THE DAY?

There are so many “favorite things” about this day. I love watching families come out to watch the parade, and seeing the smiles on the children’s faces as they watch the beautiful carriages come by. I love watching our amazing little town all join together for this festive holiday event, and watching everyone forget about the craziness of life for just a few hours and enjoy the beauty of the holiday. I am beyond grateful and truly appreciate the many volunteers that help make this event a successful event each and every day! n

ANYTHING NEW BEING ADDED TO THE EVENT THIS YEAR? This year, we are bringing back several carriages that had “retired,” but agreed to come back for our 30th anniversary. We also will have Jess Lamb and My Sister Sarah to add to the Entertainment Lineup this year.

There are two parades: one at 1 p.m. and the other at 7 p.m. w w w.

Creating a

Holiday Tradition A scene from Amahl and the Night Visitors

THE CINCINNATI CHAMBER ORCHESTRA PARTNERS WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR ITS ANNUAL HOLIDAY SHOW, AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS By David Lyman

he Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra is in a curious position. It’s not one of the biggies, like the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra or the Cincinnati Art Museum. But neither is it one of those tiny storefront operations that do good work but only pop up once or twice a year. It’s like the underappreciated middle sibling: steady and reliable and given to outbursts of remarkable creativity. Take CCO’s Summermusik program, for instance. The programing is imaginative, the musicianship is superb. It is arguably the most entertaining three weeks on the classical music calendar. This time of year, though, is always a dilemma for these mid-sized organizations. For the big guys, trotting out holiday programming is a no-brainer. On Nov. 21, the Playhouse in the Park opens A Christmas Carol for the 28th consecutive season. And the Cincinnati Ballet has performed The Nutcracker annually since 1974. Why? They’re profitable, that’s why. By Cincinnati Ballet’s reckoning, Nutcracker accounts for more than 50 percent of the entire season’s ticket revenues. But they do more than make money. They bond an organization to the community around it. And they help define an institution’s brand. More often than not, when people think of Cincinnati Ballet, they think Nutcracker. But CCO didn’t have anything like that. It’s difficult for these medium-sized groups to compete. Big shows are wildly expensive to stage and promote. But without all 24

maga zine.com

of that, it’s easy to get lost in the holiday shuffle. Still, CCO was convinced that there must be something out there that would suit them. Staging something as splashy as Nutcracker would be out of character for them. And the Broadway stars that appear in the Cincinnati Pops’ holiday shows were beyond their budget. They had a handful of criteria. It had to carry a modest price tag. It had to be appealing to families. They wanted something warm, but not necessarily fuzzy. And above all, it had to meet the high musical standards they set for themselves. In 2012, they found it—Amahl and the Night Visitors.

Created for the NBC television network by composer Gian Carlo Menotti in 1951, Amahl is a modest and gentle piece. It has just six characters, which meant it would be easy on the budget. And it lasts just 50 minutes, meaning that most kids would be able to sit still long enough to enjoy it. And it is, most definitely, filled with the holiday spirit. It tells the story of an encounter between a disabled boy and three kings who are following a star to pay homage to a child they believe to be the son of God. This is no Christmas pageant, mind you. It is a refined work of musical art. But there is plenty of action: dancers, soloists, a chorus and an orchestra. And there are

Madcap Puppets and Pones Inc. collaborate with the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra to perform Amahl and the Night Visitors.

The 50-minute Amahl and the Night Visitors tells the story of a disabled boy who meets three kings who are on their way to pay homage to a child they believe is the son of God. puppets. Gigantic ones, standing more than 10 feet tall, with features so exaggerated that it’s hard to look away from them. They are breathtaking. And they are a large part of what makes Amahl such a compelling experience for young audience members. “You have to remember that for some of the kids in the audience, this may be the first live show they have ever seen,” says Dylan Shelton, artistic director of Madcap Puppets, the group responsible for the puppets and the actors who work inside them. Shelton is also the director of the production, and he is acutely aware of the importance that these first exposures to performances can have on young audience members. “So much of what they see now is on screens,” says Shelton. “This is our chance to show them how different the live theater

experience can be.” The wonderment of it all isn’t lost on older audience members, either. Kim Popa, the executive director and co-founder of Pones Inc., brought her 90-plus-year-old grandmother to see the production two years ago. Popa is the show’s choreographer and is one of several Pones Inc. company members who perform in Amahl. “Nothing really wows her anymore,” says Popa. “But Amahl was not what she expected. She knew she was going to see a one-act opera. But when you say ‘opera’ people have such different expectations. ‘I loved that—it was perfect,’ she said.” And, in many ways, it is. An enchanting story. Masterful music. And, for CCO, it’s a chance to indulge in the sorts of collaborations that have become a hallmark of their work.

“Collaborations have been really important for us,” says CCO general manager LeAnne Anklin. “We’re constantly looking for ways to enhance our performances. And we like to think outside the box.” As a result, they’ve collaborated with all manner of groups, from the Drake Planetarium to a bagpiper, from local microbreweries to English Count r y Dancers. “We’re very lucky,” says Anklin. “We’ve partnered with fabulous organizations. I think Cincinnati arts groups are ready to collaborate. And fortunately, Cincinnati audiences are ready to see what we can create together.” Amahl and the Night Visitors.

A Colombian Adventure ZONA VIP IN SPRINGDALE BRINGS AUTHENTIC COLOMBIAN RECIPES TO THE TRISTATE By Juli Hale

eople are raving about the fancy hotdogs being served by a small Cincinnati restaurant, but it isn’t the trendy eatery you might think. Dished up with a variety of toppings not found with ballpark dogs, including bacon, chicken, shredded beef, potato chips and pineapple sauce, the $3 dogs at Zona VIP are only a small part of the restaurant’s menu. But don’t ask for tacos—those are not part of the traditional Colombian cuisine offered by the owners, Colombian natives Jose Serrano and his wife Esperanza. Esperanza, who was a doctor in her native country before moving to Ohio 15 years ago, cooks simple foods and Colombian specialties. Empanadas, arepas (grilled

corn meal filled with a mix of meats and toppings), hearty soups such as modongo and ajiaco, and mazorca desgranada—a favorite Colombian snack made with fresh grilled corn sprinkled with cheese, drizzled with a variety of sauces and topped with crunchy potatoes—dominate the menu. “People go to Yelp or Google and read the reviews and say, ‘Why not?’ then come in and try different foods. When they people come and try it, they always come back,” Jose says. The meals, made from family recipes, use fresh ingredients that are unfamiliar to customers unfamiliar with Colombian food such as oxtail, tongue and tripe. Bandeja paisa, the most popular dish in Colombia, is also the most popular with Zona customers. The large plate is filled with white rice, ground beef, chorizo, fried egg, pork rinds, kidney or pinto beans, ripe plantain and an arepa. The restaurant is closed only on Wednesdays and Esperanza cooks every meal. “She’s the boss. She’s doing everything,” says Jose who runs the front of the business, which has been open for three years in an unassuming building on the corner of Springfield Pike and Peach Street in Springdale. The couple’s three daughters work at the restaurant on the weekends. “[Esperanza] likes to cook but didn’t originally consider cooking in a restaurant. The first day we were open was very

TOP: Steak with rice, a salad and fried plantains ABOVE: Colombian tamalitos and buñuelos (fritters) crazy because we had a full house and we don’t have any experience in the kitchen,” says Jose. Business is good now, Jose says, and he and Esperanza have fallen into a good rhythm of meeting the needs of their customers. They’ve added some menu items by request and wait times have gotten much shorter. Today, meals, which aren’t prepared until they are ordered, are served in 15 minutes or less. While they wait, customers can enjoy the Latin music playing over the speakers and the traditional bric-a-brac hanging on the walls. Zona VIP.

Way to

Wellness

Wellness means different things to different people. It can cover everything from fitness and health care to park access and healthy eating. With so many diverse ways to be a well person, it can feel like you’re being pulled in all directions. In the Tristate, though, you can find ways to be healthy and active no matter where you go. This year, we explored the northern suburbs, east side, west side, northern Kentucky and central downtown area to find different ways communities are helping residents find their own path to wellness. What does wellness mean to you? Let us know what your community is doing at facebook.com/CincyMagazine/ or tweet at us (@CincyMagazine) with the hashtag #CincyLiveWell.

The northern suburbs are full of culinary classes that focus on what’s fresh and fun BY LIZ ENGEL

avid Metz may not be a chef, but he loves to cook. Good thing, too, because these days it’s his full-time job to help others also discover their own inner culinary prowess. That’s the driving force, at least, behind the Learning Kitchen in West Chester, one of several outlets in the Tristate where you can sharpen your kitchen skills. While some seek out such classes for fun, others are looking for healthier alternatives to dining out. “Everyone has it in themselves to be a chef,” Metz says. “And with just a little bit of knowledge, they can have the confidence to cook.” The Learning Kitchen has been offering classes for a decade, but Metz bought the business about a year and a half ago following a career in telecommunications. Six days a week, Monday through Saturday, a rotation of 10 chefs teaches cuisines like Italian, Mediterranean, Mexican and more. While cost and themes vary—classes start around $65 and up—its niche is this: the instruction is entirely hands-on. “It’s a completely different experi44

ence,” Metz says. “When the original founders started this, no one offered hands-on cooking classes, and that’s been the thing that’s set us apart. Each person has their own cook top, and they do all the preparation, chopping and cutting. And we provide a full meal. People come in partly for entertainment. So we always try to have classes that are informative and fun.” In Blue Ash, the TriHealth Fitness & Health Pavilion has also offered cooking demonstrations for several years as part of the organization’s overall wellness initiative. The Pavilion is also home to a fitness center, spa, rejuvenation center, physical therapy office, weight management services and more. So, naturally, healthy foods are the focus here. Classes are held once a month. Pavilion members can attend for free, while it’s $10 for non-members. Participants are taught three to five new recipes. And TriHealth’s classes are led by registered dietitians. Caitlin Ottaway, supervisor for health promotion and group fitness, says that’s key. “Not only are the dietitians showing them the recipe, but they know why it’s healthy. They can explain how it’s going to benefit you,” she says. “And they can answer questions [like], ‘I have this allergy, what’s something else I can do instead?’ They can give alternatives and explain things because they have that background.” Class topics include cancer-fighting foods, or cooking with beans and legumes. Staff members often seek out recipes that are different, or those with a twist—

The Learning Kitchen in West Chester offers cooking classes on a variety of topics. a healthier version of something familiar, like zoodles, or zucchini noodles, in place of pasta, or recipes that include less common vegetables like rutabagas or turnips. “We want people to step a little outside their comfort zone,” she says. “But we also want to encourage people to cook at home and know what’s in their food.” And it’s never too early to start. Since Metz took over, he’s added cooking camps for kids and a class called “Mom/Dad and Me,” for parents and their children; the recommended age is 8 and up. The Learning Kitchen sometimes follows certain diet trends, but one thing is consistent. “All our ingredients are fresh,” Metz says. “When we use a sauce or a dressing, it’s not out of a bottle. In our pasta classes, we use a manual Italian pasta rolling machine—and once our guests taste fresh pasta, they realize how much better it is. We also make a marinara from scratch. Once they try that, they won’t ever buy it out of a jar again.” n

NKU and St. Elizabeth invest in NKY’s health with new Health Innovation Center BY AMY THORNLEY

The new Health Innovation Center will educate the Tristate’s future health care professionals.

orthern Kentucky University unveiled two major contributions to the health and wellness of the region in October: the new Health Innovation Center on campus and a medical office building for St Elizabeth Physicians that will transform the NKU campus entrance. The Health Innovation Center (HIC) is a new, state-of-the-art technology and learning center in the heart of campus that will support student education across disciplines and departments. The building includes seven high-tech simulation rooms for health care education including an operating room and intensive care unit, a neuroscience research lab, a movement studio for dance therapy, a kinesiology studio for advanced human performance analysis, and two neuroscience and biopsychology teaching labs configured as adaptable “pods.” “The Health Innovation Center transforms how we educate and train the next generation of health care professionals with an interdisciplinary approach to addressing our population health challenges. I see it as the nexus of talent, innovation and community development,” says NKU President Ashish Vaidya. “A project of this scope doesn’t happen with one institution. It takes everyone making a commitment to improve education and health outcomes in the region. We are incredibly grateful for the commitment from our state legislature, St. Elizabeth Healthcare, local leaders and

other community partners.” Governor Matt Bevin, on campus for the ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony, called the HIC an “incredible gem,” and praised the leadership of the university and St. Elizabeth for their collaborative efforts. “This project represents a unique collaboration between NKU, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, St. Elizabeth Healthcare and other key regional partners. The Health Innovation Center will provide premier education and training opportunities for students, while strengthening Kentucky’s future workforce and positively impacting the health of our citizens.” The new Health Innovation Center was built over the course of three years at a cost of $105 million, with $97 million coming from the Kentucky General Assembly and $8 million from St. Elizabeth Healthcare. The building is now home to a cross-section of university departments, including the College of Health Professions, the Political Science/Criminal Justice/Organizational Leadership Department, the Honors College, Wellness, the Center for Teaching and Learning, Integrative Studies and the Institute for Student Research and Creative Activity. St Elizabeth and NKU continue this focus on collaborative community with the groundbreaking on a new medical office at the main campus entrance. This facility will include an urgent care, primary care

physicians and specialty physicians, as well as an orthopedic office run by OrthoCincy, all serving both the university and greater Highland Heights communities. “We are proud to support the growth of Northern Kentucky University and Highland Heights with our quality health care services at the university’s gateway,” says Garren Colvin, president and CEO of St. Elizabeth Healthcare. “Today, we are one step closer to making Northern Kentucky one of the healthiest communities in the country by being ‘right here’ in Highland Heights.” The health center is scheduled to open in early 2020. n

East

Oakley’s big box fitness boom reflects the demographic changes in the East Side neighborhood BY LIZ ENGEL

or all the big boxes that have popped up at Oakley Station—the mega mixed-used development near Interstate 71 and Ridge Avenue—one genre in particular seems to be rising above the rest. And it’s got nothing to do with fastfood chicken or even your one-stop grocery shop. It’s fitness, which will balloon with two new additions in 2018, including the largest Planet Fitness and Crunch Fitness gyms in the Greater Cincinnati market. Construction on both, known for their low-cost memberships and “no judgment” philosophies, is underway. When open, they’ll join the ranks of LA Fitness and Orangetheory, also within eyesight nearby. If that seems like a lot it is, admits Mike Hamilton, chief operating officer for Planet Fitness Midwest. Even for a development as seemingly competitive as this, with a Kroger Marketplace, Target, Meijer, Chick-fil-A, Raising Cane’s and more. “It is a little unique,” Hamilton says. “We’re certainly in other markets, like Florence, Kentucky, where there’s a Planet Fitness, and a Crunch, and LA Fitness. But it terms of us being this close together, it’s a little rare.” Still, he expects his gym to thrive. While he wouldn’t discuss the particulars behind the business decision to open in Oakley, the neighborhood was the “most requested” among members and non-members alike. And density and demographics drove the decision on its size. The gym, which opened in November at the corner of Marburg and Vandercar Way, is roughly 32,000 square feet— the largest Planet Fitness in the region—part of an $11 million development overall. Memberships start at $10 a month, and at press time, presales had exceeded expectations. “We’re confident we’re in the right spot,” Hamilton says. Crunch Fitness, which is building at the corner of Isben and Ridge, next to Crossroads Church, is projecting a December debut. While officials did not respond to email requests for comment, employees, in a Facebook video, also touted Oakley as its biggest facility in the Cincinnati area. Its closest gyms, in Kenwood and Anderson, are roughly 24,000 and 25,000 square feet, respectively. All the construction, at least, seems to indicate that there’s little concern about the development as a whole—especially during a time when grocers there, in particular, have struggled. Sam’s Club shuttered abruptly in January, and Fresh Thyme, a farmer’s market food store, closed in May. Both locations sit vacant today. Hamilton isn’t worried. “We see a lot of that, where a Walmart or a Target or a big box store will move out. But that doesn’t concern us one bit,” Hamilton says. “It certainly doesn’t mean that the area isn’t a good one, especially for us. We’re excited.” n

any passersby do a double take while driving past West Fork Park on the west side of Cincinnati, and it’s easy to see why. The new versatile playground, completed in October of 2017, is a rainbow spectacle that magnetizes community members not only for its shiny newness but also for its stimulating features that cater to all children, including those with sensory disabilities. In 1999 the original West Fork Park (known as Holiday Playland) was built by volunteers and served the community well as a popular neighborhood park. However, nearly two decades later the playground equipment was becoming a safety hazard and park officials were looking to implement some much-needed updates and changes, says Glen Caminiti, park field supervisor. After asking for park proposals, Green Township officials chose an innovative blueprint by University of Cincinnati professor Tina Stanton-Chapman and Eric Schmidt, owner of Playground Equipment Services. Stanton’s research focuses on designing interventions (including playgrounds) that builds peer relationships of children with disabilities, and Schmidt, a certified playground safety inspector, has been designing and building playgrounds since 2003. They partnered together and, through several in-depth studies, selected the most appropriate play equipment based on their findings. “Eric and I are very proud of West Fork

Park because its design is based on six years of research that we conducted. We consider this playground to be universally designed in that it meets the needs of all children,” says Stanton. While some parks may address the needs of those with physical disabilities, there are few that are designed to meet the needs of those with sensory processing disorders and visual and hearing impairments. Even more so, the majority of playgrounds nationwide and globally are not based on research, adds Schmidt. “We really studied children playing on playgrounds and surveyed and interviewed many different individuals to obtain their input… We focused on children’s strengths and abilities rather than their disabilities.” The park consists of eight different play zones with intentional features to adhere to different tactile needs. The areas include an infant/toddler play area with two house structures, a zipline, a musical instrument area with vibrating chimes, a 14-foot climbing tower, a traditional swing set and an accelerator swing that allows a child with a physical disability to either sit or lie down in the center. One of the most prominent zones is the sensory maze specially designed by Stanton and Schmidt. It consists of color reflective panels with varying textures for children to “feel” their way as they go through. Another popular zone is a turf hill complete with two metal slides

and two circular tunnels. The metal slides are designed for children with cochlear implants and the tunnels serve as an enclosed haven for children that need to decompress (should they feel overstimulated at any time from the sensory experiences). The park ’s popularit y is eminent through its daily full parking lot and wellreceived praise from families throughout the Tristate, who, even if they are not west siders, make the park a priority destination. “We are so happy that the Green Township administration team took a chance on our idea and it paid off for the community,” says Schmidt. n

Central Local running club keeps downtown residents and beer lovers alike active all year long BY AMARA AGOMUO

ounded by a University of Cincinnati MBA graduate and a Cradle Cincinnati Connections program director, the Taft Running Club has been operating every Thursday for the last two years. Not missing a beat, this Cincinnati running club meets at 6:30 pm at Nellie’s Tap Room (Taft’s Ale House) by Race Street to run 3 miles around the city as a group—rain, shine and even snow. What makes this running club unique is that it continues throughout the winter season. Founder Paul Staudigel says it’s because he noticed a lot of running clubs stopping during the winter. Staudigel wanted Taft Running Club to be an organization that functions during the cold winter months to help runners prepare for the upcoming marathon season. And while marathon training may be a big plug for runners to join this group, co-founder Lindsey Cencula wants runners to know they’re open to everyone, no matter the running background. She says the club focuses on making newcomers feel welcome by keeping the runs social. To help break the ice each week, the newest member of the group has to take a selfie with everyone in it. Cencula says this paints a friendly, familiar face of their running group to new runners who may join after 48

checking out the group out on Facebook. And by setting the distance at 3 miles—with walkers included—the running group aims to meet everyone at their desired fitness levels through noncompetitive runs. The Taft Running Club’s love of friendly-competition leaves room for fun superlatives. What’s the prize for coming in first? The title of high-five captain, a person who waits outside to high-five and encourage everyone as they pass through the finish line. Instead of focusing solely on speed and timing, this organization focuses on camaraderie and encouragement. During the runs the club doesn’t expect runners to be in an all-out sprint, rather, they welcome conversational paces that allow runners to get to know each other. Since the start of its inception, member experience has always been a priority. “The hardest part is optimization,” says founder Staudigel. From parking to running locations, he conducts A/B testing to figure out what’s effective for his members and keeps them coming back. With weekly runs ranging from a handful of people to 30, the club is keen on delivering the best service for its guests.

ABOVE: Taft Running Club stakeholders from left: Mitchell Morrison, Daniel Herbert, Lindsey Cencula, Paul Staudigel, Emily Davis, Jace Rubino and Kevin Sand. Not pictured: Kevin Fitch. And that includes booze. If you run three consecutive weeks, you get $2 off beer, up to $5 off for six straight runs. For those eager to bring out their running shoes this winter, the Taft Running Club takes scenic runs from Taft’s Ale House, down to Smale Park, along the Ohio River, and past the Great American Ball Park. If you’re still on the fence about joining, Cencula says “You may have a terrible first mile, but still a great run.” n

Dr. Barbara A. Chini Pediatric Pulmonology

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center Like the detective shows she and her mother used to stay up watching, Dr. Barbara Chini is the Columbo of pediatric pulmonologists, tracking clues and discoveries when presented with the challenge of a mystery. Taking a careful history, which Chini calls an art, is a key step that yields a lot of clues to a patient’s condition. “Frankly, I like fixing things,” says the Pulmonary Fellowship Training Program Director at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. That penchant, plus her affinity for science and a predisposition for helping people, led her to the medical field. Her parents, both attorneys, also played a part in inspiring her to find noble work like theirs. “Becoming a physician would not have been possible without the tremendous love and support that I had from my parents,” she says. She landed on pediatrics because “it appealed to the primary care doctor in me,” she says, citing the chance to be part of a family’s continuum of care. The resiliency of children, and the great potential they have, also called her to choose pediatrics. “I am very, very proud to work at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital,” she says. There was one other pursuit that could have drawn her from her career, she admitted, having grown up as a service-minded devout Catholic. “I sometimes think, did I become a physician because I couldn’t become a priest?” 52

Dr. Alvin Crawford Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery

UC Health Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine Dr. Alvin Crawford sees several similarities between the vocation that got away and the one he chose, becoming a renowned pediatric spinal surgeon and the founding director of the Crawford Spine Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. Growing up in Memphis, Tennessee, Crawford dreamt of life as a musician. He majored in it in college, and did become one, but decided to make it his avocation instead, with daily practice on the clarinet kicking off his days as a physician. Both professions, he says, require teamwork among an attending group, whether it is the players in the operating room or in an orchestra. Memory retention is another necessity for both. “A working musician needs to know 200 or 300 songs,” he says, and a specialist needs to know multiple procedures and options when something untoward happens. When his brother suggested medicine for his career since he enjoyed challenges, Crawford took that suggestion to the University of Tennessee, becoming the first American of African descent to graduate from a Southeastern conference medical school, he says. He zeroed in on his specialty because “the mechanics of spine surgery attracted me.” Crawford, professor emeritus in the department of orthopaedic surgery and attending physician with UC Health, served as the director of orthopedic surgery at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital for 29 years beginning in 1977. He is known for his expertise in treating children’s musculoskeletal problems complicated by neurofibromatosis, and is the inspiration for the Crawford Chair in Pediatric Orthopaedics and a subsequent chair in spine surgery.

Dr. Louis J. Schott Ophthalmology

Tri-State Centers for Sight Dr. Louis J. Schott, an ophthalmologist with the Tri-State Centers for Sight, says that while most patients are familiar with cataracts, the same isn’t true for the second leading cause of blindness and the leading cause in African Americans: glaucoma. “A lot of times people come into the office and they’re not seeing well and they think, ‘Oh, I’ve got a cataracts,’ and what’s been going is they’ve had undetected glaucoma for years and when you get to that point vision loss isn’t correctable, we can’t reverse the loss,” says Schott. Glaucoma is a disease where patients have elevated pressure within their eye, which can damage the optic nerve. “As the optic nerve is damaged, patients lose initially their peripheral vision and eventually as the disease becomes more advanced their peripheral vision contracts down to kind of a tunnel vision and in advanced stages they lose all their vision,” says Schott. New treatments and surgeries like medical eye drops and minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries have made it more likely that patients can keep at least some of their vision after being diagnosed. However, Schott says that best way to avoid future problems is to be proactive. “It’s a very preventable disease if we pick it up early and start treatment with eye drops. But unfortunately a lot of time by the time patients get to see me the disease is so far advanced that it’s only surgical and we’re trying to hold on to the little bit of sight that they have left and that can be frustrating for both the physician and the patient. Screening is key in glaucoma,” he says.

Dr. Shahrokh Javaheri Sleep Medicine

TriHealth Sleep Medicine When Dr. Shahrokh Javaheri was a kid of 6 or 7, the seeds were planted for him to become what he is today; an internationally known researcher of sleep disorders, including sleep apnea and how it relates to cardiovascular disease. “Retrospectively, I realized my dad would stop breathing,” at night while sleeping, says Javaheri, a pulmonologist and the medical director of the Bethesda Montgomery Sleep Laboratory. Jahaveri is passionate about the topic, having spent four decades studying it. “The spectrum of sleep disorders is huge,” including insomnia, restless leg syndrome, sleep apnea and more, says Javaheri, also a professor emeritus at the University of Cincinnati. People spend one-third of their lives sleeping, so getting quality sleep is critical to good health, he says. Sleep apnea, which happens when breathing is interrupted during sleep—shutting off oxygen to organs—is linked to high blood pressure, stroke, atrial fibrillation and heart disease. Sleep apnea also can contribute to insulin resistance, which brings diabetes into the list of related health concerns. It all makes for a satisfying medical field to explore and treat. “This is actually one of the most gratifying job there is,” says Javaheri. “I cannot tell you how many people tell me ‘Dr. J, I love you.’ They’re very appreciative.”

Dr. Michael S. Yi

Internal Medicine and Pediatrics/General With his penchant for interpersonal connection, Dr. Michael Yi knew he could rule out certain careers. “I couldn’t be a computer programmer,” he says. “The day-to-day interactions with people is very important.” Not that he ever envisioned any other career than his own, a primary care physician specializing in internal medicine and pediatrics. “I always knew I wanted to be a physician,” says Yi, who moved to the United States at age 5 from South Korea. In his practice he sees newborns to 101-year-olds and up, treating everything from chronic illnesses in adults to well-child pediatric care visits. “I have absolutely no regrets,” he says of the career that took him to University Hospital and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital for internships and residency, to Mercy Hospital and to the Christ Hospital Network, to which he is moving at the end of this year. He grew up in northern Virginia and graduated from the University of Virginia, followed by the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine. Though he once envisioned heading west to live and work in Colorado or New Mexico, he says marriage and four children happily intervened. “This is a wonderful family [town], which is why we stayed,” he says.

TOP DENTISTS

This list is excerpted from the 2018 topDentists™ list, a database which includes listings for more than 200 dentists and specialists in The Cincinnati Metro Area. The Cincy list is based on thousands of detailed evaluations of dentists and professionals by their peers. The complete database is available at www. usatopdentists.com. For more information call 706-364-0853; write PO Box 970, Augusta, GA 30903; email info@usatopdentists.com or visit www.usatopdentists.com.

SELECTION PROCESS

“If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer them to?” This is the question we’ve asked thousands of dentists to help us determine who the topDentists should be. Dentists and specialists are asked to take into consideration years of experience, continuing education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and technologies and of course physical results. The nomination pool of dentists consists of dentists listed online with the American Dental Association as well as all dentists listed online with their local/regional dental societies, thus allowing virtually every dentist the opportunity to participate. Dentists are also given the opportunity to nominate other dentists that they feel should be ENDODONTICS VAISHALI AGARWALA Yonchak & Agarwala 5180 Winton Road Fairfield, OH 45014 513-829-1935 ERIC M.

included in our list. Respondents are asked to put aside any personal bias or political motivations and to use only their knowledge of their peer’s work when evaluating the other nominees. Voters are asked to individually evaluate the practitioners on their ballot whose work they are familiar with. Once the balloting is completed, the scores are compiled and then averaged. The numerical average required for inclusion varies depending on the average for all the nominees within the specialty and the geographic area. Borderline cases are given careful consideration by the editors. Voting characteristics and comments are taken into consideration while making decisions. Past awards a dentist has received and status in various dental academies can play a factor in our decision. Once the decisions have been finalized, the included dentists are checked against state dental boards for disciplinary actions to make sure they have an active license and are in good standing with the board. Then letters of congratulations are sent to all the listed dentists. Of course there are many fine dentists who are not included in this representative list. It is intended as a sampling of the great body of talent in the field of dentistry within Ohio. A dentist’s inclusion on our list is based on the subjective judgments of his or her fellow dentists.

Retiring Downtown SOME SENIORS ARE MOVING CLOSER TO THE ACTION AS THEY NEAR RETIREMENT AGE By Deborah Rutledge

t may not be a new trend, exactly, but retirees and empty nesters are discovering an active, conveniencefilled lifestyle—and even new business opportunities—by moving downtown at this stage in their lives. “Baby boomers, as they retire, have been on the leading edge,” of this migration to 76

walkable, multi-service neighborhoods, says Roxanne Qualls, sales vice president with Sibcy Cline and former mayor of Cincinnati. Joe Rudemiller, director of communications for Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation, concurs. “We have seen a trend of empty nesters moving downtown and to Over-the-Rhine, at least anecdotally,” he says. But he stops short of calling it a trend for retirees alone. “Many folks are still working, but they are looking to downsize or move to a more walkable neighborhood,” he notes. “Often this change occurs after their children

grow up and move out on their own.” Fair housing practices preclude tracking age or any other demographic information, so 3CDC does not have the data to confirm, he says, “however, for the past five years or so, it has felt like that has been a trend.” The movement to urban living is buoyed right now by a growing inventory of homes and people’s desire to be part of the city’s revitalized areas. “Over-the-Rhine, in particular, has seen a huge increase in the type and number of housing options,” Qualls says. Karen and Brad Hughes once counted Florida and Paris among their housing

options in retirement, but after spending seven years in Over-the-Rhine they realized they wanted to stay and see the resurgence through, taking an even more active part as business owners. So they put their collective career experience to use—she as a design professor for DAAP and he as an engineer—to open Artichoke, a curated cookware collection store at 1824 Elm St. by Findlay Market. “Living and working down here has been a lot of fun for us,” Karen says. “Part of what’s satisfying is we’re players in this resurgence.” They chose to open a cookware store because of the dearth of them in Cincinnati—and especially in their store’s food-centric location—but also because it attracted both of them as shoppers. “The only kind of shopping Brad and I could do together was at a cookware store,” Karen says. “When we traveled, we always ended up at a cookware store.” Artichoke makes maximum use of its square footage, which houses cookware items carefully selected for their high quality and design, as well as a kitchen for demonstrations. The store, with its intended European feel, presented a design challenge that appealed to Karen, while its basement became Brad’s organizational feat for housing Artichoke’s inventory.

“Pretty much everything we need is right here,” Karen says, citing the Aronoff, museums, proximity to the university and the “best food in the city.” Like their friends, Donna and Moe Anderson have moved downtown. A week after returning from their son Christopher’s wedding, Donna and Moe looked with fresh eyes at their four-bedroom home and yard in Mariemont and came to a realization. “We didn’t want the suburban life anymore,” or the maintenance that came with it, Donna says. “So we put a For Sale sign out without a plan.” At the time homes were taking about six months to a year to sell, but theirs only took 24 hours and suddenly they had two months to move. They chose to move downtown, where they were spending more time anyway, seeing plays and going to the symphony. After renting for three years at a place with only one parking space—as Donna says, “it all comes down to parking”—they decided to buy a condo in The American Building. Although Donna retired some time after moving downtown, Moe still worked in Mt. Adams, sometimes making the commute on foot in the reverse direction of many walkers heading to work from Mt. Adams to the city.

Parking seems to be the only concern, albeit solvable, that the Andersons have encountered living downtown. “Living downtown is just easy,” she says. “We walk everywhere and we take the streetcar, we love it and we use it. We walk to the Shakespeare Co., over the bridge to the AMC theater. “There’s just so much to do here,” she says, adding that trips to Hyde Park and Kenwood are just seven- and 12-minute rides away. When people ask her the most common question, “where do you do your grocery shopping?” Donna tells them she does what they do, gets in the car and drives to Kroger. “There are five Kroger stores within 1 mile,” she says. Marilyn Harris, host of Cooking with Marilyn on 55KRC, first entertained the idea of moving downtown while at a dinner party including a board member of 3CDC. After 42 years living in a historic home in the gaslight district of Clifton, Marilyn and her husband moved to a condo downtown, where she most enjoys “the comfort and convenience of it all.” Adding to her satisfaction has been the community of caring neighbors she has found in her building. “People take care of you here,” she says. n

Reflections on Leadership By Dan Hurley

Dr. Daniel Drake and the Founding of UC THE MAN CREDITED WITH STARTING THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI REMINDS US THAT EVEN EXTRAORDINARY LEADERS ARE HUMAN

he University of Cincinnati, one of the region’s oldest anchor institutions, will celebrate the 200th anniversary of its founding throughout 2019. The contributions of the university over the last two centuries are numerous, and in some instances transformative, including co-op education by Dean Herman Schneider in 1906 and the oral polio vaccine by Dr. Albert Sabin in the late 1950s. The recent dedication of the 1819 Innovation Hub in Avondale announces the university’s commitment to leading future transformative change, but also recalls its roots in 1819. It was in that year that Dr. Daniel Drake founded the Medical College of Ohio, the first building block in the foundation that became UC. In the first half of the 19th century no one living in Cincinnati provided greater leadership than Daniel Drake. He was prolific as a writer of hundreds of books, tracts and essays about his scientific observations, disease and medical treatments. But Drake also wrote and spoke out about education reform and social issues. He supported the goals of the temperance crusaders, not for moral reasons, but because of the medical implication of intemperance—morning vomiting, excessive secretion of bile in the liver, an offensive discharge of phlegm, epileptic convulsions and an aggravation of consumption (TB). He even speculated that intemperance predisposed the body to “spontaneous combustion.” 88

maga zine.com

Dr. Daniel Drake founded of the Medical College of Ohio in 1819. Later incorporated into the modern University of Cincinnati, it serves as the founding date for the institution. Before a chamber of commerce existed to systematically brag about the real and imagined wonders of the region, Drake was one of Cincinnati’s early boosters, publishing his Natural and Statistical View or Pictures of Cincinnati and the Miami Country in 1815. Drake was also an institution builder. Besides the Medical College, he helped

found the city’s first circulating library, and two of the anchors of the modern Cincinnati Museum Center, the Western Museum (Natural History Museum) and the Historical and Philosophical Society. Taken together, these accomplishments won Drake the nickname the “Benjamin Franklin of the West.” Growing up on the Kentucky frontier,

Drake attended school for only six months before being apprenticed at age 15 for four years to Cincinnati physician Dr. William Goforth. He later attended the medical school at the University of Pennsylvania and practiced medicine for almost a decade before accepting a teaching position at Transylvania College in 1816. Upon returning to Cincinnati, Drake became the prime mover behind the establishment of the Ohio Medical College in 1819 (which was later incorporated into the modern University of Cincinnati) and served as its first president. Normally, medical students in the 1830s attended lectures in anatomy, physiology, pathology, therapeutics and operative surgery, but were provided few opportunities for clinical experiences. Drake, however, insisted that his students learn to diagnose patients at the bedside under the direction of an experienced physician, which, in turn, spurred him to lead the founding of Ohio’s first public hospital, the 150-bed Commercial Hospital and Lunatic Asylum. Faced with a talent so diverse and accomplished, it is easy to think of Drake as a great man while ignoring his human flaws

and limitations. That would be a mistake. Despite all his natural talents and skills, Drake was a difficult person. One colleague described him as someone for whom “artful silence was foreign.” He had stormy relationships with colleagues almost everywhere he worked, sometimes spilling over into bitter exchanges of letters in the newspapers and occasionally resulting in physical fights. Tension at Medical College of Ohio prompted the faculty to expel Drake in 1822. He left Cincinnati for teaching positions at Transylvania College in Lexington and then at Louisville Medical College. When he returned to Cincinnati, he helped organize two competing institutions to the Medical College of Ohio, first the OhioMiami Medical College then a medical school at Cincinnati College. At times, Drake was operating at the outer margins of science and medicine for his day and a true reformer in the field of education. It would be easy to assume that being forward thinking in so many areas meant he was also on the right side of history in other critical areas. Against the backdrop of increasingly angry divisions over slavery, in 1851 Daniel

Drake wrote a series of letters on slavery, colonization and abolition for the National Intelligencer. He blamed abolitionists, who he described as “an enemy of humanity and a traitor to his brother,” for the growing divide. For Drake, the problem with abolishing slavery and freeing the slaves was that America did not need the “African population” which was by nature a “serving people, parasitic to the white man,” who “according to the instinct, feeling, and opinion of the immense majority of our people, they are, and should be kept, a distinct and subordinate caste.” The accomplishments of Daniel Drake, the unwitting founder of the University of Cincinnati, are substantial. But for those interested in the study of leadership, he is a reminder that humans, even great ones, are complex and often contradictory. They can be both great leaders and have a combative personality on the one hand and hold both progressive and regressive social attitudes at the same time. n Dan Hurley is a local historian and president of Applied History Associates, which works with museums in the Eastern U.S.

Cincinnati’s Annual Day of Atonement THE BENGALS/STEELERS RIVALRY CONTINUES TO BE A HUMBLING EXPERIENCE FOR CINCINNATI FANS

Paul Brown Stadium

ur family comes from diverse religious traditions—I went to Catholic schools, my wife hails from the Jewish tradition. Our traditions diverge in interesting ways: No fish on Friday for me vs. no lobster or shrimp for her. Ever. But there are similar traditions that cross religious divides. Our Jewish friends have an annual day of atonement—Yom Kippur. Tradition calls for spending the day holed up in temple, and fasting from food and drink, which cleans the slate for the past year’s transgressions. Catholics have Purgatory, a sort of postmortem Yom Kippur. Depending on how stained my soul was, the nuns warned I could spend months, or even decades, waiting to earn my promotion to heaven. I imagined an endless night of Parish Bingo snack bar duty or a damp, cold and sunless Cincinnati February lasting, say, 38 years. Like much of society, I’ve taken a secular turn since my 1960s altar boy days. My fall Sundays no longer involve mass. Instead, it’s the NFL. But karma requires that sports fans also must atone. For Bengals fans, our day of atonement comes at least once each year, when the dreaded Pittsburgh Steelers come to town. From Franco Harris, Terry Bradshaw and Bill Cowher, to Antonio Brown and Ben Rothlisberger, the Steelers have humbled our Men in Stripes more than any other football team. In a series with at least two games annually since 1970 (with a merciful exception in the strike year of 1982) the Steelers have won 63 out of 98 encounters 90

with our ‘Gals. For those of us reckless enough to buy Bengals season tickets, the annual “purge” has seemed particularly painful. Since our brief golden years from 1980-90, the Bengals home record against the Steelers has been a dismal 26 losses to only four wins. Marvin Lewis has credibly guided the team but has only two victories over the Steelers in 18 games at Paul Brown Stadium. No wonder so many terrible towel-twirling fans decked out in yellow and black come annually to gobble up our tickets to relish their (nearly) annual triumph here. Did Hamilton County taxpayers pay more than $700 million just to construct an altar upon which, year after year, the Bengals hopes could be sacrificed to avenge some long-forgotten offense visited upon the denizens of the Monongahela Valley? Even worse, all those Steeler victories have not been your run-of-the-mill, anygiven-Sunday affairs. They typically fall into the rip-your-heart-out-and-cram-itdown-the-garbage-disposal variety. Who could forget the following home games? - 1995: After trailing 31-13 in the third quarter, Steelers go on to a 49-31 win. - 2000 & 2001: Steelers beat Bengals in their last meeting at Riverfront (48-28) and their first encounter at PBS (26-23). - 2005: In the Bengals’ first home play-off game in more than a decade, former team-

mate Kimo Von Oelhoffen shreds Carson Palmer’s knee on the second play from scrimmage, ending the team’s season 31-17. -2014: Bengals led 21-17 after three quarters. They lose 42-21. - Twofer 2015: In the regular season match-up at PBS, the Steelers broke Andy Dalton’s thumb and ended his season in a 33-20 victory. Then, in a wild card play-off re-match, back-up QB A.J. McCarran threw what should have been a decisive TD pass with less than two minutes left. But after a Jeremy Hill fumble, and back-to-back flags against Adam Jones and Vontez Burfict, a Steelers field goal secures an 18-16 win. CBS called it a “playoff meltdown for the ages.” -2017: In a nationally televised Monday Night Game, the Bengals led 17-3. Then lost 23-20 on another last second field goal. - 2018: The Bengals take another lead with less than two minutes left. But long suffering Bengals fans knew too much time was left on the clock. Yet another final seconds “Big Ben” TD pass ends the home town misery, 28-21. After these decades of anguish, it’s only fair that Bengals dead enders like me can at least earn advance credit off some Purgatory time. The good news: no fasting required on Steelers’ day. n Don Mooney is an attorney, a past member of the Cincinnati Planning Commission and is active in local politics.

BEYOND THE PAGE MURDER IS MY BUSINESS AND OTHER BOOKS SET IN THE TRISTATE SHED A LIGHT ON THE REGION’S HISTORY By Peter Bronson

Murder Is My Business by William Foster Hopkins delves into the details of Hopkins’ career. 92

D EC E M B E R 2 0 1 8/J A N UA RY 2 0 1 9 : : w w w.

maga zine.com

illiam Foster Hopk ins was ready to give up and say “to hell with it.” He was the best defense criminal lawyer in Cincinnati, a courthouse Houdini who could magically set clients free no matter how they were handcuffed by police and shackled by prosecutors. But the “Socialite Murder” of 1956 was impossible. Shy, awkward meter reader Robert Lyons had not only signed a confession to the stabbing murder of wealthy housewife Audrey Pugh, but even reenacted it on film for police. For a jury, that was more drama than Perry Mason vs. 12 Angry Men. It was hopeless. But then Hopkins’ assistant Ginny Heuser said, “Foss, what do you say we listen to the whole story.” It’s still good advice. The whole story about Hopkins is one of the best littleknown books about Cincinnati. “Foss,” as he was known at the courthouse, could spin a tale and wrote with the same wit and style that mesmerized juries. By the time he wrote Murder Is My Business in 1970, he was as old as his century—made wise in the courthouse college of crime, seasoned by the bitter chills of defeat and thawing springs of success. “Carefully now I cross the street in the wake of younger men in a hurry,” he writes in his introduction. “To be seventy is to be no longer fleet. To be seventy is to see the traffic cop grow young and the newsboy grow old… It is, at times, to have known too many people and to have known too many people who have cried. But criminal law is my work. My stock in trade is fallen sparrows. I visit the unvisited. I comfort the damned.” Foss was a national bridge champion, an undersized high school pole-vaulter and a college football player nicknamed “Wee Willie” whose classmates named him “best athlete” with the loudest clothes. He won a banjo in an Army crap game and learned to play so well he toured with a band. But few knew all that. What they knew was that he was the only hope for all those fallen sparrows. He was the last man who would stand up in court for them when a few crucial words to a jury could determine

life or death. And that made him a target for backlash, hate-stares and threats. His book is a guided tour of Cincinnati landmarks: Prosecutor Simon Leis, Chief of Detectives Henry Sandman, Hamilton County Coroner Dr. Frank Cleveland, Police Chief Stanley Schrotel, bootlegger George Remus, Rookwood Pottery founder Maria Longworth… It speaks in a dead language from a Raymond Chandler novel: triggerman, safecracker, electric chair... The “Head and Hands Murder,” also called “The Blockhead Murder,” made big headlines in the 1930s. A former Cincinnati Fire captain’s body was found, missing the head and hands—until the missing parts were discovered “perfectly preserved” in a block of concrete. Hopkins lost that one, and the killer was executed. In 1958, Hopk ins defended Edy the Klumpp in what local papers called “The Crime of the Century.” Louise Bergen had been found by duck hunters, shot to death, her body burned and dumped at a public beach on Cowen Lake. Klumpp, a waitress at the Sky Galley Restaurant, was the live-in lover of the victim’s husband, William Bergen. She said she accidentally shot Louise Bergen when the two met in Klumpp’s car to discuss the triangle. “To defend anyone on a first-degree murder charge where a life is at stake is a Herculean undertaking and soul-searching experience,” Hopkins wrote. “But to defend a woman who tells you one falsehood after another is to have embarked upon a hazardous undertaking which is doomed from the very outset.” Klumpp was convicted and became the fourth woman sentenced to “dance the dance electric” in Ohio, Hopkins wrote. But facing the chair on death row, she changed her story and said Bill Bergen shot his wife. After Hopkins persuaded Gov. Michael DiSalle to question Klumpp with “truth serum,” DiSalle commuted her sentence. That cost him re-election, but Edythe Klumpp was paroled in 1971 and died in 1999, at 81, without the aid of electricity. Hopkins had better luck in the “Socialite Murder.” He found out the meter reader’s route that day didn’t match the time of the murder at the Hyde Park home where Audrey Pugh was stabbed more than 20 times with a paring knife. Lyons had finally confessed at 4 a.m. after he was grilled in a locked room for 11

More Books About Cincinnati

hours and told the police had fingerprints that did not exist. Sleepless, scared and demoralized, he followed the detectives’ instructions to replay the murder on film. In a twist that would surprise even Alfred Hitchcock, Hopkins found out that Robert Lyons was a “snowman.” He had ichthyosis, “a congenital disease in which the epidermis continuously flakes off in scales.” Hopkins had Lyons stand on a mat in the courtroom, then showed the jury the flurry of “snow” that had fallen around his feet. None of it had been found near the body. The verdict was not guilty. Hopkins had a habit of keeping pieces of evidence from his trials. In his book, he offered a tour of his office: “Over there is a glass case, the sort found in an old-fashioned dry-goods store, and in it is a collection of guns. Each gun in that case killed someone. And I defended the ones who pulled the trigger. The hammer in the glass case? It’s not for nailing pictures to a wall. The hammer was used to hammer a person straight into the hereafter. The broken Coke bottle? Used for the same purpose. Because of those dozens of death weapons in that old-fashioned case, dozens of people have died. Dozens of prosecutors have cried for justice. Dozens of juries have searched their souls. And after each trial I have returned to this office, each time a hundred years older.” Murder Is My Business is a time capsule of the cruelty, brutality and stupidity of humanity at its lowest ebb, and the fumbling, stumbling system of justice that is the worst—except for all the rest. It reminds us of a quaint time when one murder was a tragedy worthy of sensational headlines and pulp-fiction nicknames. Today, death deals in statistics, numbing us with numbers. There’s something else in that display case of murder weapons and fallen sparrows. It’s the signature of a man who spoke for a city’s conscience. No matter how hopeless a case looked, Foss Hopkins did not say “to hell with it.” He listened to the whole story. His verdict: “For most of them, life had been ordinary until they got involved one time—and one time only—with murder.” Foss Hopkins’ collection of murder weapons is now at the Greater Cincinnati Police Museum, 308 Reading Road, downtown.

2018-19 College Basketball Preview

University of Cincinnati basketball head coach Mick Cronin

Bouncing TRISTATE TEAMS ARE LOOKING TO BUILD ON PAST SUCCESSES AS THEY HEAD INTO THE 2018-19 SEASON By Scott Unger

Back

ost season upsets derailed successful seasons for the region’s three basketball teams, but a new season brings new expectations, players and, for one, a new coach.

XAVIER UNIVERSITY Although the season had yet to tip off during an October afternoon practice at Xavier’s Cintas Center, the energy and enthusiasm of first-year head coach Travis Steele would cause the casual observer to think the Musketeers were getting ready 94

D EC E M B E R 2 0 1 8/J A N UA RY 2 0 1 9 : : w w w.

maga zine.com

for a national championship game. A 10-year veteran of the program, Steele takes over for the latest in a line of head coaches who moved on to blue blood programs. Thad Matta led Xavier to the Elite Eight in 2004 before departing for Ohio State, Sean Miller added another Elite Eight appearance in five years before leaving for Arizona and Chris Mack continued the legacy, giving Xavier its first one seed in school history and becoming the program’s all-time leader in wins before taking the Louisville job this season.

“I’ve learned a lot from each of those guys but I’m going to be my own guy. Maybe a little bit louder than even Mack was,” Steele says. “I’m going to be hard on our guys because I expect a lot out of them.” While he’ll be his own man, Steele recognizes what his predecessors have built in Norwood. “The culture here is in place as far as guys working hard, winning matters, competing in practice, the culture is there,” he says. While culture remains, the faces change, as Xavier faced the departure of leading scorers Trevon Bluiett and J.P. Macura and will depend largely on a junior point guard and trio of sophomores gaining experience, including All Big East Honorable Mention Naji Marshall. “Each of those guys is making big, big jumps,” Steele says. “ I expect a lot out of each of those three on both ends of the floor.” The undisputed leader will be floor general Quentin Goodin, who Steele predicts will be the leading point guard in assists in the talented Big East and says he expects a lot on the offensive end. “I think he’ll score more for us, just out of necessity. But he’s got to be able to get other guys wide open shots, too,” Steele says. “He’s got to able to find that fine line, scoring and making guys better.”

The product on the floor will change slightly from what fans are accustomed to under Mack, with a faster pace on offense and a 90 percent reliance on man-to-man defense. “We’ve always played fast, I think we’ve got to play even faster, though,” he says. “We don’t want to take bad shots. With our personnel not being quite as good of a shooting team as we have in the past, we’ve got to be able to get easier baskets.” As defending Big East regular season champions, expectations are high in Norwood. While Steele won’t make any guarantees, he’s excited by the team’s progress with the integration of so many new faces. “I just want to continue to grow. We obviously want to continue to grow the program but we want to grow as a team. I think we’ve got a lot of upside but you never want to put a ceiling on a team,” Steele says.

UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI Down the road, Mick Cronin’s Bearcats one-upped Xavier’s accolades—winning the American Athletic Conference regular and tournament championships—but shared its season ending, suffering an upset in their second game of the NCAA tournament. Last year’s roster has two players currently signed to NBA contracts—Golden State Warriors first-round pick Jacob Evans and Houston Rockets Gary Clark.

XU head coach Travis Steele

Gone are 24 points and 13 rebounds per game from the inside duo of Clark and Kyle Washington. This year’s offense will depend heavily on the scoring of last year’s third-leading scorer Jarron Cumberland, the lone bearcat to be named to the AAC preseason first team. At the Bearcats local media day, Cronin praised the junior’s dedication to the game and passing ability and warned foul trouble is a big concern for him this year as the team’s leader. “Being an all-around player is not something I have to sell him on—he really knows basketball. I think the most important thing for him is keeping him out of foul trouble early in the games, whereas last year it’s not that big of a deal,” Cronin says. Returning senior guards Cane Broome and Justin Jenifer will see more looks at the basket this year, but their leadership will be most important, Cronin says. “[Scoring] I’m not concerned with, that will all take care of itself if they take ownership and [say], ‘We’re going to win or lose this year based on how invested I am as a senior leader.’” The Cats will look for contributions from newcomers freshman Logan Johnson and junior college transfer Rashawn Fredericks, who Cronin compared to Bearcat great Pete Mickeal for his ability to out-will opponents. “He’s got an innate toughness and he can make open shots and he’s never going to be a guy that goes back on defense and rests,” he says. As a freshman guard, Johnson needs to focus on limiting turnovers, but Cronin expects immediate contributions on the offensive end. “He can create a basket whether it’s for himself or his teammates and he doesn’t need the pick and roll to do it.” In the absence of Clark and Washington, more will be expected of the Bearcats quartet of big men in Nysier Brooks, Eliel Nsoseme, Mamoudou Diarra and Tre Scott. The group’s rotation, defense and speed should give the team the ability for more fast break points than the notoriously lead-footed Clark. “Our bigger guys are much faster than Gary and Kyle. Running the f loor was not their best attribute but we still tried,” Cronin says. “If you can score in the first eight seconds of the shot clock your field goal percentage is going way up.” With players routinely moving on to the pro level and eight straight NCAA tourna-

NKU head coach John Brannen ment appearances, the recruits will likely keep coming, but the $87 million renovation of Fifth Third Arena can’t hurt either.

NORTHERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY Across the river, John Brannen’s Northern Kentucky University Norse look to continue to build their profile and hope to grab the tournament berth that eluded them last year after winning the Horizon League regular season. Led by conference preseason player of the year Drew McDonald, the Norse will look to repeat with eight new faces, including five freshmen. “This year’s team is fast, it’s not as long and athletic on the perimeter but we’re very strong up front. I want our team to be a reflection of our style of play, which is aggressive and disruptive really up and at ya’ for 94 feet,” Brannen says. Despite the loss of seven players, the Norse were picked to finish second in the conference preseason poll, but Brannen doesn’t put much stock in preseason picks, having won the league three years ago after being projected to finish seventh. “It’s just prognostication, you never know what’s going to happen once the ball is put out there. I think it speaks more to the winning culture that we’ve gotten this program,” he says. With all three area teams winning their conference titles but coming up short in postseason goals, expectations are high in the Tristate as the 2018-19 college basketball season gets underway. n w w w.

Extending its Reach PEOPLE WORKING COOPERATIVELY IS OPENING THE WHOLE HOME INNOVATION CENTER TO HELP FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THE TRISTATE HAVE SAFER AND HEALTHIER HOMES By Corinne Minard

or 43 years, the nonprofit People Working Cooperatively has worked to keep people safe and healthy in their homes. While much of the nonprofit’s focus has been on low-income, elderly and disabled homeowners, PWC is looking to reach more residents with its new Whole Home Innovation Center. “Our mission hasn’t changed. PWC is always going to keep people safe and healthy in their homes. If you’re low income, we have programs for you. If you can afford to pay [for renovation work], we have Whole Home for you. And if you just want to learn how to educate yourself and what you can do, we have the Innovation Center,” says Nina Creech, senior vice president of operations for the nonprofit. For years, PWC has gone into homes to help with needed repairs. Several years ago, PWC began to offer Whole Home, a

modification service that offers fair prices for renovations and products that make residents’ home safer and healthier. The Whole Home Innovation Center, which recently had its soft opening, extends those services by giving homeowners and families throughout the Tristate the opportunity to learn about recent home trends, new products and ways to make their homes healthier. The center features colorful and bright displays that educate visitors on safety products in the market, like pull-down cabinets and slip-resistant coatings. In addition, the center has space for classes. “Realtors are groups that have to have continuing education credits. We could teach them a course on aging in community,” says Creech. “We can talk to [plumbers] about comfort height toilets and what are the different things that you can do for a customer that might need a specialty item. We also work with individuals themselves.” With the Innovation Center, PWC is looking to reach whole families so that everyone in the Tristate has a safer and healthier home. For example, Creech says that people who have family visiting for the holidays could come to the center to learn how to make their home safer for grandparents who may have issues moving around.

The Whole Home Innovation Center also has space for classes or courses.

“Life happens and wherever you are in the spectrum there’s always something that you could do to your home to be proactive and to live your best, safest, healthiest life,” says Creech. Creech says that PWC plans to update the Innovation Center’s displays regularly so that there is always something new to learn. “We want to theme it every month—fall prevention, bring home baby, asthma, whatever the different things are—and just connect the community that we’re an available resource, and as their life changes we’re going to be here,” says Creech. “We’ve been here 43 years and we’re pushing for the next 40 and we think this is a great way to do that.” n w w w.

Helping Students Develop Real-World Skills

During the second year of St. Rita School for the Deaf’s Career Plus program, students are placed with a local business.

AT ST. RITA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF’S CAREER PLUS PROGRAM, STUDENTS ARE BEING READIED FOR FUTURE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES By Gregory Sharpless

elping to ma ke its st udents’ dreams a reality has been one of the over-arching goals of Cincinnati’s St. Rita School for the Deaf since its founding in 1915. Through the years, it has done just that— by educating students and children who need special methods of communication in a safe environment. Its classrooms offer small sizes for individualized instruction, 100

a communication team that includes speech and language therapists and an audiologist, plus technology including SmartBoards, iPads and laptops. Beyond the classroom, the school offers afterschool activities such as woodworking, sewing, choir and chess, as well as sports and other opportunities for its students. Then, in the fall of 2014, St. Rita’s took another great leap forward in that cause, establishing the school’s Career Plus Program. An intensive, two-year program designed for students who are continuing their special-education services so as to become “career ready,” Career Plus focuses on job-skill development, budgeting expertise, self-advocacy and understanding legal rights for people with disabilities. What’s important to keep in mind is that the program’s emphasis is on career op-

portunities, not simply getting a job, says Natalie Marsh, who oversees Career Plus. “Our program focuses on employability and independent living. The goal is to get students into not just a job but a career— where you really, really love what you do,” stresses Marsh. “Their career might be in restaurant work, landscaping or carpentry, etc.—we try to distinguish between what they love to do and a job that will just be paying their bills.” Another aspect to the program is teaching students about their rights at work as a person with a disability. “For instance, when should a meeting have an interpreter present?” says Marsh. “This type of concern has to be taught—so how do you go about educating the students as well as the company in a non-hostile way?”

BEGINNINGS AND CHANGES

The Career Plus Program wasn’t something that was necessarily on St. Rita’s agenda. In fact, it came about quite serendipitously. In the fall of 2014, recalls Marsh, a St. Rita student had earned enough credits for graduation and intended to then enter his own school district’s transition program. The only opportunity he was presented with, however, was at a local correctional facility—which was not a job that interested him, neither for the short-term nor long-term. “We didn’t want him just sitting at home following graduation,” says Marsh. The solution: the creation of the Career Plus program. Career Plus, as noted earlier, typically lasts two years. The first year primarily takes place on campus. Students are provided with information on what to expect with their first job, learning how to complete a job application, practicing interviewing techniques, how to interact at work, personal budgeting and much more. The second year is off campus, and entails placement with a local business. “We look at the child’s strengths and interests, and we see where we can get them placement,” says Marsh. Add this new twist to the program since its start-up: It has now opened its doors to students at other schools. “A school district had placed a deaf and hard-of-hearing student with us in

Sign Language Classes Another way that St. Rita School for the Deaf contributes to the community is by offering American Sign Language (ASL) classes—providing the tools you need to converse with employees, friends and others who are deaf or hard of hearing. Six levels of classes are offered (three beginner and three intermediate), with classes held over a nine-week period. Also available to those who have taken Beginner 1 Sign: an optional lab, which provides an interactive signing environment, small group activities, games and drills with members from the Deaf Community working as activity and lab leaders. Fees for the classes range from $80 for the classes (all levels) and $80 for the lab. For a current class schedule and to enroll, download the class-registration form on the St. Rita website (srsdeaf.org).

Students interested in baking have been able to work at Bonnie Lynn Bakery during the Career Plus program. the K-12 programing and had continued on with Career Plus. When they saw how successful the student was performing in Career Plus, they wanted to send us another student—one who had not previously attended St. Rita—specifically for our transition program,” says Marsh. “The student’s school district had a limited transition program that could not individualize to the student’s needs as well as our Career Plus program. So the parents asked St. Rita educators if their child could participate in Career Plus, and they were given the go-ahead,” she continues.

THE BUSINESS CONNECTION

To date, the Career Plus program has partnered with a range of Cincinnati-area companies, including: - Bonnie Lynn Bakery - Expressions By Elizabeth - Gorman Heritage Farm - Group Sales, Inc. - Iacono Company - Lakeview Garden Center & Landscaping - LaRosa’s Pizzeria - Vonderhaar’s Catering And the roster of participating companies will continue to change as students’ needs change, says Marsh. “Our partnerships with businesses change depending upon our students. Of course, we would love it if businesses contacted us to work with us for this program.” For instance, says Marsh, “we have a student in the program who would really love to pursue office cleaning. She’s trying out clerical work for now and she’s okay with it, but it’s not her favorite.” Importantly, it’s not only the students

who benefit—the participating companies in the program benefit, too. “The Career Plus program is a win-win opportunity for any corporation. Over the last three years, it has provided our company and team members with the unique opportunity to engage with students who are deaf or have communication needs. It makes our team stronger and better leaders,” notes Chris Schlichter of Group Sales, Inc. “Additionally, it’s rewarding to know that we’re helping these young adults to develop the real-world skills and experience they need to begin their careers.” Iacono Company’s Doug Craven echoes those comments. “Partnering with St. Rita’s on the Career Plus program has been a wonderful experience for all of our staff members. Having the opportunity to enrich the lives of these students by instructing them in the ways of our craft has been an awesome and humbling experience. I think that this journey has taught us more about life than anyone ever anticipated,” he says.

SOMETHING SPECIAL

As of October 2018, seven students have participated in the Career Plus program. Four have graduated, and all of these have gained employment prior to leaving the program; another three students are still participating in the program. “The thing about our students is that they’re not your typical teenagers—they really want to work,” she continues. “The program helps build up their skills.” “We have something special, pretty unique,” says Marsh. n

COMMERCE BANK’S NEW HIRES CONTINUE ITS STRONG LEGACY

Strong Foundation By Scott Unger

lthough Commerce Bank recently selected a new CEO, the leadership strategy will retain its continuity, as the new CEO is John Kemper, son of previous CEO David Kemper. Upon his move to the position, Kemper told the St. Louis Business Journal that the current U.S. economic conditions, benefitting from corporate tax cuts, strong credit and rising interest rates, make the forecast sunny for banks. Promoted at age 40 in August, the younger Kemper takes over the nation’s 45th largest bank with $24.6 billion in assets and branches throughout the Midwest, including in West Chester. The large assets and custom approach to its dealings with businesses are the hallmarks of Commerce Bank and what makes the Cincinnati location successful, according to branch Executive Vice President Steve Bloemer. “The advantage of Commerce Bank is we’re big enough to have a product set, which is competitive, but we still deliver in a custom one-on-one approach to business,” Bloemer says. “The larger banks, and with the consolidation in our industry, there tends to be this one size fits all approach to banking. “We can have a product set that competes very well with the bigger banks, but we deliver it more like a community bank.” Having continuity among leadership is a key aspect of the bank’s success, he says. “We’re not just trying to come into the marketplace and make a big splash. What we’re trying to do is build long-term relationships,” he says. “And I think that’s what John Kemper and the continuity of the Kemper family really allows us to have that long-term view in the marketplace.” The branch recently hired longtime Cincinnati banker Aric Hassel to the team as 1 02

senior vice president of corporate banking in Cincinnati. Hassel will use his history working with Cincinnati businesses and homeowners to be a leader in managing relationships with privately owned companies in the area. After 13 years in the Cincinnati location, Bloemer says his branch has grown into a staple in the marketplace and a secure foundation for area businesses. “Since I started in 2005 we’ve really grown a nice successful corporate banking business,” he says. “We are a public company but we maintain a long-term view. We’re working to do good business with good people for a long time.” The addition locally of Hassel and the leadership of Kemper should continue that trend into the future, Bloemer says. n

Firm of Choice VONLEHMAN CPA & ADVISORY FIRM DEPLOYING MULTIPLE TOOLS TO ATTR ACT TALENT By Eric Spangler

ith the nation’s lowest unemployment rate in 50 years at 3.7 percent in September many companies are finding it tough to recruit new employees. But finding new employees for accounting firms is even tougher since the unemployment rate for accountants is basically 0 percent, says Brian Malthouse, president of VonLehman CPA & Advisory Firm, one of the largest accounting firms in the Greater Cincinnati area with about 125 employees. Malthouse says the traditional well of experienced accountants that VonLehman CPA & Advisory Firm would hire from came from big accounting firms. “We used to get a lot of experienced employees from that market,” he says. But that source for new employees has dried up because the big accounting firms have cut their number of employees by 30 percent within the past four years, says Malthouse. The big accounting firms are now using artificial intelligence and data analytics to replace many of its employees, he says. Not only has a major source of new employees been downsized, Malthouse says VonLehman CPA & Advisory Firm also has to contend with other accounting firms who are trying to poach its employees. “I would bet our employees on average probably get reached out to … by headhunters at least once or twice a week,” he says.

VonLehman is one of the largest accounting firms in the region with about 125 employees. “You better be the firm of choice for your employees to keep them because I think just about everybody could leave for more money on a daily basis.” So how does VonLehman CPA & Advisory Firm remain the firm of choice for its employees? In addition to the typical incentives such as flexible schedules, the ability to work remotely and generous paid time off, the company’s new headquarters in Ft. Wright, Kentucky, provides an inviting and collaborative work environment for its employees, says Malthouse. Design features include 10-foot ceilings, 9-feet-tall glass windows, a café that looks like a Starbucks, new furniture, new computers, “huddle rooms” and tall tables that

VonLehman’s new headquarters in Ft. Wright, Kentucky

encourage people to gather around and engage in conversation and collaboration. The building’s design is meant to bring employees at VonLehman CPA & Advisory Firm’s headquarters and its Ohio office in Kenwood together, says Malthouse. The company is also building a new office with many of the same features in Indianapolis. In addition, the new office building is available to the company’s community partners and clients at no charge. “So if they need a training room, if they need a conference room, if it is not booked we open it up,” he says. “That’s gone over quite well.” VonLehman CPA & Adv isor y Firm also seeks to become its employees’ firm of choice by promoting its workers to leadership positions through the Future Leaders program, says Kerri Richardson, a shareholder at the firm. “We really are employee-centric and we allow people to grow their profession,” she says. VonLehman CPA & Advisory Firm has been successful in promoting both men and women into leadership roles, says Richardson. “We are looking at maintaining a diverse and equitable and inclusive leadership,” she says. n

Programmable thermostats can make your home more energy efficient as they allow you to set different temperatures throughout the day.

Saving Money While Staying Warm LOCAL EXPERTS SAY THERE ARE A VARIETY OF WAYS TO MAKE YOUR HOME MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT By Amy Thornley

s t he weat her t u r n s colder, Cincinnati-area homeowners may want to take a closer look at their energy efficiency. In most homes the two largest sources of energy are the very things that keep us warm—the HVAC system and water heater. The Department of Energy estimates that the average homeowner devotes 48 percent of their energy costs to heating and cooling their home throughout the year. A home’s water heater accounts for another 14-18 percent of your energy bill, according to the Greater Cincinnati Energy Alliance. These two utilities together can make up two-thirds of a household’s energy expenditures. And those expenditures are expected 108

to go up. A report published jointly by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy and the University of Cincinnati Economics Center cautions consumers that becoming more efficient may ultimately be beneficial for your pocketbook. According to this report, the average price of electricity is expected to increase by 54.4 percent by the year 2030, and the average price of natural gas is expected to increase by 19.2 percent in this same time period. These increases are expected as the result of building and maintaining the infrastructure of our continually growing population. The Greater Cincinnati Energy Alliance is ready to help local homeowners get more energy efficient. Residents can complete a free home energy assessment on their website and receive tips for reducing their energy costs targeted to their own home. Many of these tips are low-cost and designed to be easy and manageable for homeowners. For instance, insulating a water heater that is warm to the touch can cut standby

heat losses by 25-45 percent and save money. GCAE experts recommend an approved water heater blanket, and setting the water heater temperature to 120°. Regarding your home’s heating, regular maintenance and a programmable thermostat are a homeowner’s best bets. A programmable thermostat using four temperature settings throughout the day can save up to $180 each year in energy costs. This winter, try allowing your house to get cooler during working and sleeping hours. For those homeowners ready to take a more decisive step towards energy efficiency, the City of Cincinnati would like to help. Residents can receive up to $1,500 from the city to offset the costs of energy efficiency improvements on their home. This program is available through a partnership with the GCEA and the improvements must be completed by a GCEA participating contractor. The first step is completing an in-person Home Energy Assessment with the GCEA. Homeowners can call 513-621-4232 or visit their website at greatercea.org to find out more. n

Problem Solvers MARTIN & ASSOCIATES REALTORS SPECIALIZES IN NEW CONSTRUCTION AND HIGH-END PROPERTIES By Eric Spangler

good real estate agent is good at solving problems, says Debi Martin, lead agent with Martin & Associates Realtors at Keller Williams Advisors Realty. “We are really in the business of solving problems,” says Martin. “I always tell everyone that if putting a sign in someone’s yard was all this job was, first of all it would be boring to me I wouldn’t have any interest in doing it … and some days we have really great challenges and that’s how we become really great problem solvers.” Martin says she and her team devote the time that’s necessary to solve those problems for her clients. “If it’s not a quick process that’s OK with me,” she says. “I take that time. That’s absolutely fine.” In fact, Martin says the process of selling a home should start a lot sooner than many people believe. She says sellers should contact her a year or two before they actually put their house on the market. Martin says if they contact her that early she’ll come by and talk to the sellers about what changes or repairs could be made immediately that will pay off when the house is listed and sold.

RIGHT: Debi Martin That way the people selling the home can enjoy those changes and repairs until they sell the home. “And I promise you that you will get every dollar plus back from doing those things in terms of both what the … buyers will pay you,” says Martin. The real estate agents at Martin & Associates Realtors truly enjoy helping and servicing their clients, she says. “Essentially we’re Realtors who love what we do,” says Martin. Martin & Associates Realtors specializes in new construction and high-end property, she says. The average sale price is about $600,000, or twice what the average agent is in the city, says Martin, who sells homes in both Ohio and Kentucky. Martin, who was born and raised in the Greater Cincinnati area, especially loves

to share all the wonderful things to do in the city with clients who are moving to the area from out of town. “I’m a native and I really appreciate the quality of life we have,” she says. From the arts to sports to education the city offers plenty for the new resident, Martin says. “And I think they’re surprised sometimes. They’re like, ‘Wow, this is very nice.’” The only negative thing about living in the Greater Cincinnati region is the weather, she says. “It would be nice if we could consistently get the good weather,” she says. Martin, who used to own a coffeehouse in Covington, Kentucky, in the 1990s, enjoys making sure her customers are satisfied. It may be a family trait as Martin’s mother and son are also in the real estate business. “We have 45 years experience as a generational team,” Martin says proudly. n
