This neighborhood gathering spot in Dayton operates as a co-op and offers a lineup of beers that can only be enjoyed at its cozy taproom.

St. Anne’s Hill is a small neighborhood on the east side of downtown Dayton, and while it might not seem like much of a hill, its slight elevation kept it above the floodwaters that devastated the city in 1913. That protected the area’s architecture, and the neighborhood has many of Dayton’s oldest homes and buildings. One of them houses Fifth Street Brewpub, one of the nation’s only co-op-owned breweries.

Fifth Street Brewpub owes its existence in part to its storied structure, which was built in 1856. The building was at risk of demolition until members of the neighborhood banded together to save it and open a brewpub. The effort celebrated its 10th anniversary in summer 2022, and there are now more than 3,000 co-op members.

That community involvement was enticing for the brewpub’s brewmaster and general manager Jon Naghski, who moved to Dayton in 2021 after many years as head brewer at a Goose Island brewpub in Chicago.

“I knew this was heavily supported by the neighborhood, being started by folks within walking distance,” says Naghski. “But I am continually surprised by the love and attention and care they give to their small neighborhood pub.”

Fifth Street Brewpub doesn’t package or distribute its beer, so the brews Naghski labors over are all consumed in the small, cozy taproom or on the comfy patio. Classics like Icebreaker IPA and Ramona Brown Ale share space on the tap list with experiments like Waxed Wings Hazy IPA and Pulp & Peel, a rotating line of fruited sours. Naghski’s favorite is St. Anne’s Pils, a lager he created shortly after his arrival. Thoughtful wine and cocktail lists have options for those who don’t drink beer. The brewpub also offers a food menu with hearty options like the Chevre Burger or the Salmon B.E.L.T. sandwich, as well as dinner salads and appetizers.

The brewpub has fostered the atmosphere of a true neighborhood gathering place, with regulars outnumbering newcomers at any given time, while still maintaining a welcoming atmosphere for everyone.

“That speaks to us being not just a brewery,” says Naghski, “but to the co-op being rooted in the neighborhood.” — David Nilsen

Buy toys that ensure kids can learn, grow and have fun without hazards.

Children are dreaming up their holiday wish lists, and the store aisles are stocked with tempting toys for kids of all ages. But even when toys pass U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission standards, other factors should be considered.

Small magnets and batteries can be particularly dangerous to children, according to Dr. Sampurna Shakya, a pediatrician at Ashtabula County Medical Center.

“Lithium batteries, when swallowed, the electricity gets in contact with your stomach and can cause irreversible harm or a rupture of the intestine,” he says.

Buying safe toys also isn’t just about the age range printed on the box.

“Choose toys based on their developmental stage,” Shakya advises.

Here are other recommendations for selecting toys that are safe for the kids this holiday season. — Kristen Hampshire

Clean Up. For babies especially, “everything goes into their mouths,” Shakya says. Whether a toy is a hand-me-down or new, wash it. Be careful of choking hazards, too. If a toy can fit inside an empty toilet paper tube, it’s too small for babies and toddlers.

Play Along. For toddlers and preschoolers, select toys you can enjoy together. “They are learning motor and language skills, so toys like balls, blocks, trains, cars, dolls ... puzzles and games build a rapport between you and your child,” Shakya says.

Create Safe Toy Spaces. For siblings of different ages and stages, keep toys too small for the younger ones out of reach and create a dedicated space for play. “Be sure they are replaced back into their storage spaces to avoid the risk of a toddler or baby ingesting them,” Shakya says.

Life is not easy. Taking time to note the positives and being grateful for them goes a long way.

Challenges of life can be a struggle and worries about what each day will bring can make it even worse. That is why it is important to make sure that the struggles we encounter don’t eclipse the good that is happening around us as well.

“If all we ever focus on is the stress, it is more difficult to find meaning and purpose in our lives,” says Arianna Galligher, a licensed independent social worker and associate director of STAR Trauma Recovery Center at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. She is also director of the center’s Gabbe Health & Well-Being Program.

“Practicing gratitude does not mean you only have to focus on the positive,” she adds, calling this “toxic positivity.” But striking a balance is healthy and can help you recenter,

identify your values and approach problems with confidence. Gratitude is powerful.

Robert Emmons of University of California, Davis and Michael McCullough of University of Miami conducted a study that asked a group of participants to write a few sentences about things they were grateful for throughout the week for 10 weeks. This group was more optimistic, exercised more and had fewer doctor visits than a separate group asked to document their daily irritations.

Here are some strategies for focusing on the positive that will do your mind and body good. — KH

You don’t need a major milestone to feel grateful. A sunny day, the smell of coffee brewing or a text from a dear friend can be reasons to be grateful. It’s the little stuff that’s big. “It can just be the everyday moments,” Galligher says.

Like any habit, schedule the time to take a gratitude break and be consistent. “Centering the practice around a structured and engaging activity can also be helpful — like a moving meditation or journaling, writing down thoughts,” Galligher says. Mobile phone apps are available that offer guided meditations.

“I have a bulletin board in my office where I post thank-you notes or little visual representations of things that bring me joy and help me remember the good things,” Galligher says.

Carving out time with family or friends to share what you are grateful for develops a network of support. “When we share with others the things we are grateful for, it crystalizes that reality and helps us find clarity about what brings meaning and value to our lives,” Galligher says.
