TQL Stadium already boosting spending in the West End Randy Tucker | Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

Tasha Stapleton drove all the way from Verona, Ky. for FC Cincinnati's home-opener on May 16.

Stapleton described herself as a superfan: "I'm an all sports fan, but I really like FC Cincinnati.''

And she said she's been waiting months to participate in all the game day activities, including spending money on food and drinks and other items that stimulate the local economy.

As she walked past the West End stadium several hours before kickoff , Stapleton said she and a friend, who declined to give her name, wanted to get there early to fully immerse themselves in the scene.

"We started at Washington Park, where they had all kinds of fun stuff going on,'' she said. "Next, we’ll probably grab some stuff from one of the food trucks.’’

After the game?

“We're hitting the bars,'' she said, noting The Pitch Cincy was likely to be their fi rst stop.

The Pitch - a sprawling bar located at 1430 Central Parkway, across the street from the stadium opened its doors May 15, just in time for the home opener.

Patrons can sip their drinks while viewing the stadium from the bar's rooftop deck, hang out on the outdoor patio or watch the games on a giant video wall inside.

The Pitch also has two dedicated parking spots for rotating food trucks.

Food trucks back for the game MamaBear's Mac, which specializes in homemade macaroni and cheese dishes, occupied one of the spots on game day.

The featured menu item? The FCC Cone, made up of Buff alo chicken and macaroni and cheese in a

waffl e cone topped with hot sauce and blue cheese dressing.

“It’s pretty popular,’’ said owner Kimberly Heileman. "Business has been building by the hour. If you go inside, they’re blowing the roof of the place working up an appetite.’’

Meier said she was happy to be back on the road with her food truck after a tough year in the wake of the pandemic, which shut down festivals, concerts and other events.

“Our new truck came out of development on the week that the whole city shut down from COVID,'' Heileman said. "So our fi rst summer with our brandnew truck was a real challenge.

"We're really excited about this year and seeing Cincinnati grow,'' she added. "The stadium just brings a whole new level of excitement to the downtown area.’’

Business was brisk, and she said she hopes to bring her food truck back to The Pitch for another game later this season.

Early forecast: TQL could have $60M impact Once the stadium is operating at full capacity as is expected in June, it could generate a total economic impact in Greater Cincinnati of more than $60 million in the fi rst year, based on a 2017 study from Stephen Buser, professor emeritus at Ohio State’s business school, and Bill LaFayette, owner of Columbusbased economics fi rm, Regionomics.

The study's projections include direct and indirect spending by visitors and about 500 jobs created by the soccer team’s operations.

Buddy LaRosa dishes about the secret ingredient in his pizza Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Buddy LaRosa has been selling pizzas since 1954, an empire grown from his Aunt Dena’s sauce recipe.

From one store started with $400 in Westwood to 66 stores in three states today, LaRosa, 90, said the secret to his success is not so much the recipe, but the California-grown San Marzano tomatoes the restaurant uses.

LaRosa recently joined The Enquirer’s “That So Cincinnati” podcast, where he talked about growing up, starting the LaRosa’s Pizzeria business and yes, the secret to his sauce.

“It’s not that big of a secret,” LaRosa said. “There’s a certain region in Italy that has just the right amount of rainfall and just the right amount of sunshine to develop the highest pectin. Pectin is the rich meat in the tomato and it develops the highest natural sugar content.”

LaRosa pointed out tomato is a fruit, not a vegetable.

“Nine out of 10 pizza places in America, price is fi rst, it’s not quality,” LaRosa said. “Our pizza prices cost a little bit more than everybody else.

But we use San Marzano tomatoes.

We don’t use just the cheapest tomato you can buy. Most tomatoes are ... full of water and acid. And you get heartburn all the time. They don’t use San Marzano. Well, we only use San Marzano.”

The tomatoes are grown in California.

“People say, ‘Oh, that’s all B.S.,” LaRosa said on the idea that the type of tomato matters. But it does matter, he said.

On where exactly in California, LaRosa was more cagey.

“And I won’t tell people where it is.

It’s none of their business,” LaRosa said. “So it’s our little secret. ... When you got those kinds of tomatoes, you can put it just like it comes out of the kettle and on your pie. And you’ll lick your fi ngers,” LaRosa said.

Local veteran overcame polio and served as a Marine during Vietnam War Quinlan Bentley Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

As a child, Ronald Elsaesser was told by doctors that he would never be able to walk.

But that didn’t stop him from serving on the frontlines of the Vietnam War, during which more that 47,000 American service members were killed.

At the age of seven, Elsaesser was diagnosed with polio, listed by the Cincinnati Health Department as the disease’s 209th victim in 1952, according to an Enquirer article from that year.

Every day, William Elsaesser, Ronald’s father, would exercise his son’s legs until Ronald was able to walk, said Dan Elsaesser, Ronald’s brother and owner of The Farm, which has been a West Side institution for more than 80 years.

Having defi ed the doctors’ expectations, Ronald enlisted in the Marine Corps at a time when many young men were being drafted, concealing the fact that he suff ered from polio as a child.

“He didn’t want them to fi nd out because he was afraid that they would not

accept him in the military,” Dan said. “...He didn’t want to let his disability to

prevent him from serving his country.”

Ronald graduated from recruit training in 1966 and was awarded the “Leatherneck Medal” for getting the highest score in his platoon at the fi ring range at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, according to a Cincinnati Post & Times-Star article from December 1966.

“I am sure you will be pleased to learn that your son has progressed so well in his training,” Lt. Col. R.T. Lawrence wrote in a letter to Ronald’s father. “We all feel he will do well in the Marine Corps, and continue to be a source of pride and satisfaction to you, his Corps, and his country.”

Ronald was sent to Vietnam the same week his twin brother, Donald Elsaesser, who served as an Army military police in Saigon, returned from there, according to a 1968 Post article.

He was promoted to the rank of corporal while stationed near Hue, a city in central Vietnam, the article states.

In a letter written to his family, Ronald described some what he experienced while overseas.

“We just got word to get our gear packed and be ready to move up north

Here’s who the Democrats are endorsing for Cincinnati City Council Scott Wartman and Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – June 1 (updated June 2).

After a closed-door debate June 1 night, nine city council candidates emerged with the coveted endorsement of the Cincinnati Democratic Committee.

The Democratic slate consisted of six men and three women; six of the nine are Black. All three women are Black.

Eff orts on June 1 to put activist Brian Garry and Cincinnati Federation of Teachers organizer Michelle Dillingham on the slate failed. The Democrats had endorsed Dillingham in her runs for city council in 2013 and 2017.

She blamed it on “party politics.”

“I will run as a Democrat,” Dilligham told The Enquirer after the vote June 1. “I plan to win as a Democrat. And I will govern as a Democrat.”

Democratsy passed the slate recommended by the nominating committee.

So who got endorsed?

Here’s the Democratic slate of city council candidates: Two incumbents: h Greg Landsman, 44, of Mount Washington, elected in 2017. h Jan-Michele Lemon Kearney, 65, of North Avondale, appointed in 2020 One former Hamilton County Commissioner h Victoria Parks, 63, of College Hill And six newcomers h Reggie Harris, 39, of Northside. h Meeka Owens, 42, of North Avondale. h Scotty Johnson, 58, of Mount Airy. h Mark Jeff reys, 51, of Clifton. h Jeff Cramerding, 48, of West Price Hill. h Phillip O’Neal, 33, of Avondale.

Why is it important?

The Democratic endorsement is considered the Holy Grail of endorsements for Cincinnati politics, particularly as the city has trended more Democratic.

In 2017, six of the party’s nine endorsed candidates won election and it raised the profi le of the three who didn’t win. These candidates will benefi t from the coordinated campaign and funds of the Democratic Party, including joint fundraising with the other candidates on the slate.

Candidates will need all the help they can get to stand out in what promises to

within the next week or so,” he wrote.

“One of my best buddies got killed three days ago, about three miles from Phu Bai. It sure made me feel bad...He was ambushed while on patrol.”

“We came to Vietnam together, and he had only 53 days left,” Ronald added.

“I just can’t wait until my time is up, and I can get to see The Farm again.”

The death of his friend aff ected Ronald deeply, Dan said, adding that years later Ronald reached out to the man’s family in Chicago, only to fi nd that they didn’t know who he was talking about.

“Ronnie didn’t like to show emotion.

But he sobbed on the phone to me that this family in Chicago forgot that this man ever lived,” Dan said.

After he returned home from Vietnam, Ronald struggled with post-traumatic stress, though he found comfort in religion, Dan said. “He went through some rough times.”

Ronald died on April 24 at the age of 75. He is survived by his two daughters and fi ve grandchildren.

“He was a cheerleader,” Dan said of his older brother. “If you were down, Ronnie would lift you back up.”

be a very crowded and heated fi eld of city council candidates.

Dozens of candidates will likely compete for the nine seats on city council. As of June 1, the Hamilton County Board of Elections has certifi ed 19 city council candidates for the November ballot.

But more than 90 people have shown interest in running by picking up petitions.

Who didn’t make the cut?

Of those candidates, 17 sought the endorsement from the Democratic Party.

The Cincinnati Democratic Committee did not provide a list of candidates who sought endorsement. The biggest controversy was leaving Dillingham off the slate. Some Democrats on Tuesday supported a motion to put Dillingham on the slate to replace Phillip O’Neal, the athletic director of Western Hills High School.

The motion was voted down.

Dillingham told The Enquirer her support of Issue 3 was used against her. Issue 3, opposed by the Democrats and labor unions, would have required the city to put at least $50 million a year into an aff ordable housing trust fund. The labor unions, which had supported Dillingham in the past, opposed the issue because it would have likely decimated the city’s operating budget and lead to layoff s. The issue failed.

But Dillingham doesn’t think Issue 3 was the only reason. She thinks her criticism of the city and Mayor John Cranley played a role.

Why did some not seek the endorsement?

The Democratic Party’s endorse-

ments have come under criticism. A memo sent out by the Cincinnati Democratic Committee in February warned candidates to not seek the endorsement of other political parties, including the Charter Committee, a local party that has endorsed candidates from both major parties in the past.

Some candidates and politicos blasted the rule as drastic. At least one candidate, Stacey Smith, said it led to her decision to not seek the Democratic endorsement.

“I feel this move by the Democratic Party is too exclusive and partisan,” Smith tweeted in February, “So I will not be pursuing their endorsement, but wish luck to those who do.”

Three of the nine endorsed candidates of the 2017 slate have been indicted: Tamaya Dennard, who pleaded guilty in a bribery case and began on June 1 an 18-month prison sentence, Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld, who was suspended from council after being federally indicted in a pay-to-play scheme; and Councilman Wendell Young, who was arrested on a felony tampering with records charge, accused of deleting text messages about city business. He remains on council after a recent eff ort to suspend him failed.

Who did the Dems endorse for school board?

Cincinnati State Technical and Community College's board of trustees renewed president Monica Posey's contract for another fi ve years during a May 25 meeting.

Posey became president in 2016 and has spent a total of 29 years with Cincinnati State, according to a news release from the college. She previously served as assistant dean, director of institutional research, academic vice president and provost before she was named interim president in September of 2015.

Posey She is the fi rst Black female president of a major educational institution in the Cincinnati area.

“It is my honor to serve as President of Cincinnati State with a very supportive Board of Trustees during this era of strong collaboration with our faculty, staff and administration," Posey said in the news release. "Going forward, my goals include continuing to modernize the college's teaching facilities, providing additional supports to enhance student success, and off ering new programs and services to meet employer needs."

Cincinnati State, the fourth largest college in Greater Cincinnati, will reopen its four campuses in Clifton, Harrison, Evendale and Middletown for inperson classes in the fall, offi cials said.

Most classes have been off ered online during the novel coronavirus pandemic. The college served about 11,900 students in the past year.

Posey will earn an annual salary of $260,000 under the new contract, according to Cincinnati State spokesperson Richard Curtis.

The release says Posey led the college's eff orts to become one of the fi rst community colleges in Ohio to off er bachelor's degrees. The fi rst students to receive bachelor's degrees graduated this spring through Cincinnati State's land surveying program.

Posey is a Philadelphia native and earned her undergraduate degree from Cornell University. She holds a master's in business administration from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and a doctorate in educational foundations from the University of Cincinnati. Posey lives in Green Township.

The fun life of Pam Kravetz: Bearcats mascot, synchronized swimmer, ‘Love Queen,’ artist Sharon Coolidge and Jason Williams Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Pam Kravetz is fun, eff ervescent, vivacious. Take your pick of how to describe the Cincinnati artist and suburban high school art teacher. They all fi t.

She’s so fun, in fact, that her family and friends held a parade in Over-theRhine for her 60th birthday.

A few hundred people, including a who’s who from the local arts and entertainment scene, converged on Washington Park wearing colorful outfi ts and hats to honor a woman who regularly wears go-go boots, tutus and sequins.

How did Kravetz go from an artsy outcast as a kid to being the life of the party and infl uencer on the local arts and entertainment scene?

The Cincinnati native recently told her story on The Enquirer’s “That’s So Cincinnati” podcast.

“When I was little, I was that kid who never fi t in,” Kravetz said. “Even in kindergarten – this was the ‘60s – I got sent to the principal’s offi ce for wearing go-go boots and a mini-skirt.”

Kravetz credits her elementary and high school teachers for encouraging her to embrace her passion for art. It ended up inspiring her to pursue her own career as an art teacher. She is retiring this week as Harrison High School’s art teacher after a 30-year career . (Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – May 26).

Her experiences at the University of Cincinnati helped Kravetz to begin to accept that being diff erent is OK. Said Kravetz: “I was an art kid, so we wore all black. We were kind of angsty and cool. And then I was a sorority girl.

I was also the Bearcat mascot. I was all of these weird parts of a human that didn’t quite fi t together. But all of that speaks to the person I’ve become because now I’m super comfortable talking in front of people and being the

Kravetz’s life has continued to be full of unique opportunities. The Enquirer once featured her and her art work, and that led to her getting a date with the man who’s now her husband.

Her friends nicknamed her the “Queen of Love” for how she met her husband, Craig Davis.

In addition to being involved in the arts scene, Kravetz has been on a synchronized swimming team for several years at Ziegler Park in Over-theRhine. Her advice for those who might be struggling to embrace their passion, talent and personality. “Loving yourself is huge,” Kravetz said.

tion of the stadium was determined and it also assumed a stadium with capacity for about 5,000 fewer fans.

But LaFayette stands by the projections and said the brunt of the impact would be driven by new development in the area associated with the stadium that will draw visitors from out of town to spend money.

"If you're a local person and you go to the game, you're already spending money that you would probably have spent in the Cincinnati area anyway,'' he said.

"You want to see people coming in from outside, and all the construction and revitalization going on in the area and around the stadium is very positive for that.''

Stadium draws new development plans Tentative plans for new development near the stadium include converting an 11-story building at Wade Street and Central Avenue to apartments or offi ce space, with fi rst-fl oor bars and restaurants. And there's also a potential fi vestory building at John Street and Bauer Avenue that could be offi ce and residential space, The Enquirer reported.

Han Lin, who owns Zundo Ramen and Donburi - a Japanese restaurant close to the stadium at 220 W 12th St. - said he and his staff donned FC Cincinnati Tshirts for the team's home opener in anticipation of a surge in new business.

"Everybody is wearing FC Cincinnati (T-shirts) today,'' he said. "We're busy today but not as busy as it will be.''

Social distancing restrictions have forced Lin to keep tables at least six feet apart, cutting the restaurant's 60-70 guest seating capacity in half, he said.

But Lin is gearing up for a summer free of those restrictions and a boom in business from FC Cincinnati fans that could help him recover any pandemicrelated losses.

Jared Williams, who lives Downtown and was hanging out with friends at Washington Park before FC Cincinnati's fi rst home game, said he's likely to spend more money on food and drinks in the West End because of the stadium, especially if more bars and restaurants open in the area. "I'm not sure how many bars are in the West End,'' Williams said. "I've

COVID-19 vaccines shifting to primary care doctors in Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

If you’re looking for a COVID-19 vaccination you might not need to look further than your primary care doctor soon.

Several Cincinnati area primary care physicians’ offi ces are being phased in as vaccine providers, to add to the array of ways to get a vaccine in the region.

“In Hamilton County, a number of the hospitals are starting to off er COVID vaccinations at their primary care and pediatrician offi ces. The physician offi ces are typically focused on the patients of those practices,” said Kate Schroder, special adviser, vaccine coordinator for the Health Collaborative.

“And patients who may be more comfortable getting a vaccine from their usual doctor’s staff should reach out to check availability.”

In Northern Kentucky beginning June 1, St. Elizabeth Healthcare will shift its COVID-19 vaccine appointments from its St. Elizabeth Training and Education Center to St. Elizabeth Physicians primary care sites. The vaccines will become available at select offi ces through the fi rst two weeks of June, and will transition to all practices with primary care locations by midJune, offi cials said.

Initially, the Moderna vaccine will be the only COVID-19 vaccine administered at the St. Elizabeth Physicians offi ces. Patients will have the option to receive their vaccine at their appointment when they see their provider, and appointments for the second dose will be made before leaving the offi ce. The hospital system will not initially vaccinate kids 12-15 with the Pfi zer vaccine, but St. E has has provided vaccine to pediatricians to help meet the demand, offi cials said.

The Moderna vaccine has not yet been FDA-approved for kids this age, so they will not be vaccinated initially at the primary care offi ces, but once approvals come, St. Elizabeth Physicians offi ces will off er the vaccine for kids’ appointments in the age group.

Several of Christ Hospital’s primary care doctors’ offi ces already are provid-

ing the vaccine.

Mercy Health-Cincinnati is expanding its vaccine locations by off ering COVID-19 vaccinations through its primary care practices as part of its standard patient care, said spokeswoman Nanette Bentley. As people schedule appointments, they’ll be directed to locations that off er the vaccines. Gradually, more primary care offi ces will carry the vaccine. The hospital system will also continue vaccination clinics at Mercy Hospital Clermont, Kenwood Towne Centre and and Kyles Station for eligible area residents, as well as other community and employer vaccine partnerships.

UC Health still has a dedicated vacci-

nation center, but it moved this week from a garage to a walk-in clinic at West Professional Building on Burnet Avenue in Avondale, an outpatient location.

“We are not off ering vaccinations in primary care offi ces, but UC Health primary care physicians have always been able to refer eligible patients to our vaccination center,” said spokeswoman Amanda Nageleisen. In addition, she said, inpatients and emergency department patients at UC Medical Center and Daniel Drake Center for Post-Acute Care are being off ered vaccination upon discharge.

TriHealth’s approach to vaccination access is focused on “meeting individ-

uals where they are” by having a variety of options for people who want the vaccine, offi cials said in a statement. The options include community pop-up vaccine sites across the region, collaborating with employers and schools to offer on-site vaccinations, and continuing vaccine access within the TriHealth system -- including at physician and pediatric offi ces, which are getting the vaccine in a phased-in process.

Vaccine clinics are being right-sized to match current demand and off er vaccinations in the most convenient, accessible locations” Schroder said, adding that the large-scale stadium vaccination clinics are not needed anymore.

Strawberries: ‘A gift without ribbons’

Sensational strawberry pie is also a treat for the eyes.

Berry mixture after cooking – red and translucent. PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Talk about a gift without ribbons. My neighbor across the road, Erin Phillips, invited me to pick strawberries from her berry garden.

I could hardly cross the road fast enough.

Now I have strawberries, too, but they’re planted in 2 big pots near the kitchen door for the little ones to pluck as they walk by, and I never get enough at one time to do much with.

My granddaughter Eva helped me pick strawberries, enough for jams and a pie.

Yesterday was jam making day with my family, and today was pie day.

Now, I’ve shared a couple or more good strawberry pie recipes with you through this column.

So today I wanted to mix things up a bit. I fi ddled around with several recipes to come up with the one I’m sharing today.

All of the recipes called for cornstarch. Some called for lemon. Several included strawberry jam. Bingo. I sure have plenty of that.

And I have to say, this strawberry pie recipe has everything going for it: easy to make, beautiful to look at, and a 2 thumbs up in the taste department.

After sitting in the refrigerator several hours, I was able to slice the pie into nice wedge shaped pieces.

Sensational strawberry pie Seasonal, ripe juicy strawberries are stars here.

pounds), hulled and cut in halves or fourths

You basically cook strawberries with sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice to a jammy consistency, then stir in strawberry jam, though jam is optional. But I think it adds to the thickening power and flavor element of the pie. After that cools, mix it with more strawberries. That’s it.

Ingredients and instructions – pie shell

Put 2 1⁄ 2 cups berries in a pan and smoosh down with a potato masher until berries are crushed. Stir in sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice.

Whatever suits your fancy - 8-9” plain pie crust, graham cracker, cookie crust.

Crust should be baked and cooled before fi lling. Can be done a day or so ahead.

Ingredients fi lling 6-7 cups strawberries (about 2

3 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons or so strawberry jam (optional but good) Instructions fi lling

Cook over low heat, stirring constantly so mixture doesn’t burn, until cooked and very thick. You may have to add a bit of water (a tablespoon or so) if it gets too thick to stir. This depends on the juiciness of the berries. It cooks in just a few minutes.

It starts out looking opaque and pinkish, then when done it turns bright red and translucent.

Stir in jam if using. Add remaining strawberries.

Cool a bit and pour into prepared crust.

Put in refrigerator to set up, several hours or more.

To serve With sweetened whipped cream, of course.

Just beat 2 cups whipping cream with 1 teaspoon vanilla and 4-5 tablespoons confectioners sugar until it’s stiff.

I like to make swirls on pie around edges to decorate it, then pass rest of whipped cream so everyone can add more to their piece.

Restaurants that opened or closed in May Keith Pandolfi Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

It was a better-than-expected month for Greater Cincinnati restaurants, with only one closing, though it was a heartbreaking one his month also saw the re-opening of two beloved spots (one with a new concept, the other with a new chef) and the openings of three brand-spankin'-new places (including ANOTHER new Graeter's location).

We're not complaining. After all, the more Graeter's, the better.

Restaurants that opened Branch and Night Drop After being closed for a year, the East Walnut Hills restaurant and bar reopened in April and started letting guests back into its dining room, located inside a former bank, the fi rst week of May. It's also under new culinary leadership. Jared Bennett, formerly of Maplewood Kitchen and Bar, Karrikin Spirits Co. and Metropole was named the restaurant's new executive chef back in March. Its downstairs cocktail bar, Night Drop, is also open for business.

1535 Madison Road, E. Walnut Hills, 513-221-2702, eatatbranch.com.

Graeter's The 56th location of Graeter's Ice Cream opened May 18 in the Kenwood area of Sycamore Township.

Aside from Ohio, the Bond Hill-based company has locations in Kentucky, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Illinois.

“The new store allows Graeter’s guests to enjoy their bakery, candy and signature ice cream in a beautiful new store complete with a drive-thru, children’s play area and party rooms,” Graeter’s said in a news release.

The new location replaces Graeter's former spot at 7369 Kenwood Road.

19 Cincinnati-area gun shops had violations in 2015-17 Briah Lumpkins Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A now-closed Clermont County gun shop was a record-setter. A newly compiled database of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives inspections reveals that Arcade Antiques in Bethel had 23 violations between 2015 and 2017.

The shop was one of a handful of establishments across America that lost licenses during that period.

USA TODAY and the Trace, a nonprofi t newsroom devoted to gun-related news in the U.S., built a database of nearly 2,000 ATF inspection reports from locations with violations.

Federal Firearms License (FFL) holders are required to account for any weapons or serialized components in their possession at all times and have to call the the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for approval before selling or transferring a weapon or serialized part such as a lower receiver for a semiautomatic rifl e.

Calls to the NICS are required for each individual sale or transfer the FFL holder conducts.

The database includes 15 locations in

Southwest Ohio, including the license of Russ Whitley, owner of Arcade Antiques. Whitley's license as a fi rearms dealer was revoked or denied for renewal in May 2017. Whitley could not be located for comment. Arcade Antiques is now closed. The Enquirer could not confi rm the exact date the establishment closed.

The 23 violations his store was accused of included the sale or transfer of a fi rearm to a prohibited person, failure to obtain separate licenses for multiple business locations, and knowingly making false entries in the acquisition and disposition record.

Out of the 144 inspections that were conducted in Ohio, 136 resulted in warning letters, six resulted in a warning conference and two resulted in revocation/ denial of renewal.

In Southwest Ohio, there were 15 locations that had inspections with violations, according to the USA TODAY/ Trace database. They included: h GC Sporting Goods, a manufacturer in Blue Ash (12 violations). h Dino Costanzo, a dealer in Springfi eld Township (eight violations). h Robinson's Fine Gun, a dealer in Hamilton licensed to Howard Robinson

(seven violations). h Lighthouse Gunsmiths LLC, a dealer in Fairfi eld (seven violations). h Lawrence E. Manns, a dealer in Monroe (six violations). h Hunter Den of Ohio, a dealer in Amelia licensed to Roy Lynn Eicher (six violations). h Gunsmoke Firearms, a dealer in Middletown licensed to Michael J. Murphy (fi ve violations). h Treasure Grove Auctions, a dealer in Fairfi eld licensed to Richard A. Grove (four violations). h Jaeger Firearms and Accessories, a dealer in Harrison (four violations). h D Alan Firearms LLC, a dealer in Loveland (four violations). h Comrade Arms, a manufacturer in Sharonville (four violations). h Knighthawk Firearms LLC, a manufacturer in Hamilton (three violations). h Shootin' Shack, a dealer in Waynesville (two violations). h Onling Guns, a manufacturer in Loveland (two violations).

All received warning letters; none of their owners could be reached for comment. The Enquirer attempted to call each of those locations. Some numbers were out of order, some numbers were

reassigned and people who answered at two locations refused to answer questions. Messages were left; none were returned. Not all are still open for business.

Their violations included: sale or transfer of a fi rearm to a prohibited person, failure by a dealer to properly maintain a record of the receipt and disposition of fi rearms and conducting business away from the licensed premises among other violations.

Out of the 62 inspections that were conducted in Kentucky, 53 resulted in warning letters and two resulted in a warning conference.

In Northern Kentucky, four locations had inspections with violations. They included: h Quick-cash Inc., a pawnbroker in Florence (eight violations). h Garland Enterprises, a pawnbroker in Walton (fi ve violations). h Shooters Supply and Sporting Goods, a dealer in Independence (four violations). h Peter Garrett Gunsmiths, a dealer in Newport (four violations).

All four received warning letters; none of the owners could be immediately reached for comment.

Steve Chabot's ex-campaign manager facing more than 2 years in prison Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – May 27 (updated May 28).

Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates.

Prosecutors say they will seek a prison sentence that's no longer than 32 months for U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot's former campaign manager, who admitted May 28 at a court hearing that he stole more than $1.4 million from the campaign.

Jamie Schwartz, 41, pleaded guilty in federal court in Cincinnati to charges of wire fraud and falsifi cation of records in a federal investigation.

Last month, Schwartz signed a plea agreement admitting that he embezzled the money between 2011 and 2019.

As part of the agreement, Schwartz will pay $1,420,475 in restitution to the campaign. That amount was updated at the May 28 hearing and had been about $20,000 higher in previously fi led court documents. It's a conservative estimate of how much he obtained through the embezzlement, prosecutors said.

Schwartz already has paid $13,225 towards restitution, from the forfeiture and sale of his 2011 Jeep Wrangler.

The case is before U.S. District Judge Timothy Black who will determine the prison term. A sentencing date has not been set. As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors said they would not ask for more than a 32-month sentence.

When asked to comment, Chabot's campaign referred to a statement it released last month after Schwartz's plea agreement was fi led. The statement said the congressman and his campaign were pleased the matter had reached a conclusion and thanked prosecutors and law enforcement for their work. The statement also said campaign offi cials were "deeply disappointed to learn the scale of Mr. Schwartz's crimes."

"The campaign continues to work with the Federal Election Commission to correct any potential inaccuracies in past campaign fi nance fi lings that may

have been caused by these crimes," the statement said.

According to court documents, Schwartz wrote checks from the congressional campaign's bank account to himself and his political consulting companies that were for more money than he and his companies earned working for the campaign.

In June 2017, for example, Schwartz wrote a $7,500 check to himself from the campaign account. The next month, he submitted a false report to the FEC that the documents say didn't account for the money "and that fraudulently misrepresented the amount of donations" the campaign received as well as the amount of money in its bank account.

Schwartz submitted fake reports to the Federal Elections Commission in an attempt to conceal the stolen money, the documents say. He also fabricated bank statements and other documents submitted to the FEC, prosecutors said.

As part of the scheme, according to prosecutors, Schwartz misrepresented his father as the treasurer for the campaign. His father, a jeweler in Bridgetown, told The Enquirer in 2019 he did not know he was Chabot's treasurer and later released a statement that he has never worked for Chabot's campaign.

Prosecutors said Schwartz himself served as the campaign's treasurer, although he didn't have that title.

In September 2019, Chabot’s attorney announced he had discovered the West-

wood Republican was the victim of “fi nancial malfeasance.” That same month, Schwartz turned himself in to federal authorities, according to court documents.

Schwartz stepped down as Chabot’s campaign manager and quickly shuttered his political consulting fi rms. He had worked for Chabot as far back as 2008, FEC records show.

In an interview, Acting U.S. Attorney Vipal Patel said Schwartz helped himself by immediately coming forward, "instead of waiting for us to knock on his door."

His prison sentence could end up being shorter because of that.

"He‘s positioned himself in the best light," Patel said.

Offi cials: Man in child porn case had videos of kids as young as 6 months Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Investigators say a 25-year-old West End man had videos showing children as young as six months old being sexually assaulted.

A video with the fi le name “Vacation to Mexico” showed a man sexually assaulting a 4-year-old girl. Another video showed a woman sexually assaulting

the 6-month-old boy.

A moving GIF image on a thumb drive that investigators connected to Kijion McClure showed “multiple” girls under the age of 10 exposing themselves.

The videos and images depicted at least nine diff erent child victims, court documents say.

The Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Offi ce said June 2 that there may be additional victims.

Most of the fi les were stored on McClure’s Google account, according to court documents.

McClure faces multiple child pornography charges in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. He also is charged with carrying a concealed weapon.

Court documents say that when he was arrested June 1 he was in possession of a 9 mm handgun.

His attorney, Tom Ewing, could not

be reached for comment.

Offi cials said agents with a local task force, the Regional Electronics and Computer Investigations Section, began investigating McClure’s online activities after receiving multiple tips through a partnership with a nationwide task force.

The investigation is continuing. Anyone with information related to the case is urged to call 513-946-8338.

In his 32nd year as Elder’s baseball coach, Mark Thompson earned the 600th victory of his career. He has won two state baseball titles. ENQUIRER FILE

Elder baseball district title victory gives coach Mark Thompson 600 wins Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

With a 3-0 win over Beavercreek May 27 at Vandalia's Butler High School, Elder coach Mark Thompson became the latest Cincinnati-area baseball coach to reach a milestone.

It was win No. 600 for the Panther veteran skipper.

In his 32nd year as head coach, Thompson has seven Greater Catholic

League-South titles and has taken Elder to four of their 20 state appearances with two of their 12 state baseball titles (1999, 2005), Elder was state runner-up in 2010 and is looking to return to the state semis after this recent district title.

Thompson is a 1980 graduate of Western Hills where he is in the Hall of Fame. He helped the Mustangs to a state title in 1986 as pitching coach. He was a four-year pitcher for the University of Cincinnati graduating in 1985.

Among area coaches, Mason's Ken Gray won 768 between 1973-2010, with Moeller's Mike Cameron winning 767 between 1969-2007. Cameron would continue coaching junior varsity for current Moeller coach Tim Held until just recently collecting over 1,000 career wins.

Thompson is next on the list with 600 in Ohio, followed by Cincinnati Country Day's Tim Dunn with 516 between 1987-2015 and Jack Kuzniczci who retires at 502 after stints at Walnut

Hills, Madeira and Clermont Northeastern.

In Northern Kentucky, John Krumpelbeck of Covington Catholic leads the pack with 1,022 career wins. C.M. Maxwell of Dixie Heights had 688, John Finn of Simon Kenton 532 and Pat Roesel of Ryle 523.

Edgewood names Cox as athletic director James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Edgewood High School in Trenton, Ohio, has named Larry Cox as its new athletic director.

Cox returns to Edgewood as the director of athletics and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience at both the intercollegiate and interscholastic levels as an administrator and coach pending board approval.

His most recent position was as the executive director of athletics at Urbana University, an NCAA Division II institution.

The school closed in the spring of 2020.

He has also served as the athletic director at Brescia University and Villa Madonna Academy, as well as an almost two-year stint at Edgewood.

Cox also was an assistant athletic director at Mount St. Joseph University and compliance offi cer at Thomas More University in addition to being the head

men's basketball coach at both schools.

Cox holds a bachelor of arts in History degree from Hanover College and master of arts in history and master of education in physical education with a specialization in athletic administration degrees from Bowling Green State University.

Cox coached the men's basketball team at the College of Mount St. Joseph for 13 seasons from 1998-2011. He started the program in 1998 and his team fi nished with a winning record in its inaugural season.

Cox was also the assistant athletics director for seven years.

In his time at MSJ, Cox was part of a transformation in the athletics department from 14 teams for 24.

Cox's fi rst head coaching position came in the 1990 season at Thomas More College as he inherited a program that had not had a winning season in a decade and during his coaching tenure, he turned the program around - fi nishing with four straight winning seasons.

He was named AMC Coach of the Year

in both the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons, while also leading his school to the AMC regular season and tournament championships.

In addition to his basketball and administrative duties, he also spent fi ve seasons as the assistant baseball coach.

Cox also spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at NCAA Division I Bowling Green State University, Ohio, in 1981-82 and 1982-83.

During the fi rst season, the Falcons were conference runners-up and in the second season, they won the MidAmerican Conference outright fi nishing with a 21-9 record. For two seasons, from 1979-1981, he was an assistant at Hanover College (Indiana), where the school averaged 24 wins a season, won two Hoosier-Buckeye Conference Championships and advanced to the Elite Eight in the NAIA National Tournament.

Cox and his wife, Beth, reside in Butler County and have triplet sons, Luke, Jake and Ryan Cox.

Oak Hills seniors awarded scholarships for careers in construction Oak Hills High School seniors Evan Malone and Blake Erskine have been awarded the 2021 TOOLS Scholarships, presented to students planning careers in the fi eld of construction.

The Associated Builders and Contractors of the Ohio Valley awards the scholarships, which were funded by HGC, one of Greater Cincinnati’s largest construction companies and a professional partner to Oak Hills High School.

HGC has also helped OHHS design a new construction class — off ered next fall — that will provide students the opportunity to earn professional credentials in the construction fi eld.

“This not only provides students with the chance to jump into a job opportunity after high school but to see, during high school, it it’s a career they’d enjoy,” says Brady Faust, OHHS career counselor.

Irá is the sixth book of poetry published

by Manuel Iris, Ph.D. This work by the DePaul Cristo Rey teacher and Cincinnati Poet Laureate Emeritus is his fi rst to be published simultaneously in the United States and Mexico in English and Spanish.

The book, released in April, is Iris’ second book to be published in the United States. He has been a teacher at DPCR since 2013, serves as Hispanic Outreach Coordinator for Spanishspeaking families, and coached the school’s spoken word poetry team prior to the pandemic. He served as Cincin-

nati poet laureate from 2018 to 2020. He has published fi ve other volumes of poetry in four diff erent countries and is the youngest person to ever win the Rudolfo Figueroa Poetry Award, a national honor awarded by the government of Chiapas, Mexico, in 2014.

Iris holds a bachelor’s degree in Latin American Literature from the Autonomous University of the Yucatan, a master’s degree in Spanish Literature from New Mexico State University, and a doctorate in Romance Languages from the University of Cincinnati.

DePaul Cristo Rey is a Catholic, col-

lege-preparatory high school with a mission to educate young people who have the potential but limited fi nancial means to go to college. This is accomplished through a dynamic academic program partnered with an innovative Corporate Work Study Program, not available at any other local high school.

COMMUNITY NEWS Center for Addiction Treatment celebrates Monarch Counseling Center opening Center for Addiction Treatment (CAT) recently hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony, which was attended by elected offi cials and community leaders, to celebrate the opening of the new Monarch Counseling Center.

CAT’s Monarch Counseling Center, which houses its new Intensive Outpatient Program, Family Services, and Outpatient Counseling, will provide increased access to treatment and recovery.

The opioid epidemic and the pandemic have clashed, causing new and diff erent treatment needs – an issue that brought federal, state and local offi cials together on Friday afternoon.

Congressman Steve Chabot, 1st District; Anthony Spaetzel, on behalf of Congressman Brad Wenstrup, 2nd District; Ohio House Representative Tom Brinkman, Jr., 27th District and Hamilton County Commissioner Denise Driehaus were joined by CAT President/CEO Chellie McLellan, Board of Trustees President, Marcus Thompson and a current Monarch Counseling Center patient, who shared his story. Community partners, such as Hamilton County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board and Prospect House, were also represented.

“I could not be more excited about today’s ribbon cutting as it marks a new chapter in CAT’s fi ght against addiction.

This new, state-of-the-art facility will allow this tremendous team to redouble their eff orts and help serve even more folks in our community in their fi ght against addiction. I am immensely grateful to the entire team at CAT for their selflessness and dedication and I look forward to working alongside them to turn the tide of this tragic epidemic,” said U.S. Senator Rob Portman.

Chellie McLellan and Marcus Thompson also presented JDL Warm with the honorary CAT Star Fish Award for their generous donation of time and resources to the completion of the Monarch Counseling Center.

The ribbon cutting was held outside, where everyone had the opportunity to reconnect and celebrate the occasion.

Guided tours of the Monarch Counseling space, hosted by Director of Nursing, Ebony Marshall, provided an opportunity

players with dreams of becoming the next generation of professional tennis players.

Gómez is the fi rst Grand Slam tennis player to visit Western Athletic Club.

Western is on a mission to spread the love of tennis to the Westside. Mayo Clinic recently published fi ndings suggesting that playing tennis can increase the average person’s life expectancy by 9.7 years, more than any other sport. “We have kids as young as four and adults well into their 80s playing on our courts, proving the statement that tennis is truly a sport for life,” says Adult Tennis Coordinator, Amy Abell.

The club will be off ering TennisNow, a 3-week long clinic set on teaching the basic principles of tennis. Participants will meet weekly for an hour. Western will host two sessions running June 8-25 and July 6-24.

Participants will have the option to attend classes on Tuesdays 6-7 p.m., Fridays 10:30-11:30 a.m. or Saturdays 11 to noon during the session. The cost is $39 per person/session. The last class will include pizza sponsored by LaRosa’s.

Western Athletic Club is located in Western Hills, at 5490 Muddy Creek Road and open 7 days a week. The club hours are Monday-Thursday: 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday: 5 a.m. to 9 p.m., SaturdaySunday: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit westerntfc.com for more information about Western Athletic Club.

Tennis: A sport for life It is not every day we are in the presence of greatness. On April 28, Andrés Gómez walked out onto Western Athletic Club’s courts to talk to a group of junior tennis players. Does the name ring a bell? Andrés seized the 1990 French Open title against Andre Agassi.

Andrés did not simply stumble into Western Athletic Club but rather he followed his daughter, Rafaela, one of the Club’s tennis professionals.

Rafa, a recent graduate of the University of Cincinnati, has been teaching at Western for the past year while she worked her way through her master’s degree in fi nance.

Andrés grew up in Guayaquil, Ecuador and began playing tennis at the age of 7. After playing soccer and basketball he found the sport of tennis and instantly fell in love. Andrés instilled in his fi ve children the importance of college at young age and motivated Rafa to play along with her four siblings.

“Tennis and life are the same, you have to work hard, make sacrifi ces but enjoy what you do,” says Andrés. Gómez currently runs a tennis academy in Ecuador with approximately 80 junior tennis

These award winners are recognized

by American Family peers, staff and leadership for dedication to their community through fundraising, volunteerism, board service and advocacy.

Gibbons’ work spans numerous organizations and causes. She has volunteered and raised funds for many local and non-profi t organizations such as the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio, Matthew 25 Ministries, Reach Out Pregnancy Center in Harrison, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and Paws of Dearborn County.

“I am thankful for the opportunity to connect with other individuals, families, business owners and nonprofi ts that care about supporting our communities,” said Gibbons. “I am proud to receive this award and hope it inspires others to get involved as well.”

In recognition, the American Family Insurance Dreams Foundation will be making a donation in her honor to an organization she specifi ed, the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio. Gibbons is an alum and lifetime member of the organization.

Honoring the legacy of Father Jim Willig Heart to Heart – a Catholic Media Ministry, www.htoh.us, founded by Fr. Jim Willig in 1991, will dedicate the month of June to The Sick and Suff ering.

Inspirational quotes and videos will be sent daily in June to all those who sign up on the website.

On Thursday, June 24 at 1 p.m., a gravesite prayer service is scheduled at Gate of Heaven Cemetery, Cincinnati, Ohio.

On Sunday, June 27 at 11 a.m. Fr. Michael Sparough, SJ, will celebrate the Holy Sacrifi ce of the Mass from Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat House Chapel, Barrington, Illinois. The Mass will be live streamed on YouTube and from the Heart to Heart website www.htoh.us.

After Fr. Jim’s ordination to the priest-

Doris Gibbons (middle) with Girl Scouts of Western Ohio donation recipients. PROVIDED

hood in 1977, Fr. Jim pursued an extensive study of Scripture. He received a second Master’s degree in Spirituality from the University of San Francisco and completed a three-month sabbatical study in the Holy Land. In 1991, Fr. Jim began preaching locally and nationally.

Fr. Jim became widely recognized as an inspiring preacher, gifted storyteller, and true evangelist.

In 1999, Fr. Jim was diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney cancer with lung meWillig tastasis. He lived another two years. An aggressive course of cancer treatment followed, including several rounds of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation. With the assistance of others, Fr. Jim remained active in his ministry. Eventually, the cancer spread to the bones, requiring two surgeries to implant metal rods into his deteriorating leg bones. Fr. Jim worked up until his fi nal two weeks of life. Fr. Jim passed away peacefully at his parents’home on June 24, 2001.

While Fr. Jim was Pastor of Sts. Peter and Paul Parish in Reading, he co-authored two books and co-created two videos. His book, “Lessons from the School of Suff ering,” details his physical, emotional, and spiritual journey with cancer.

Many people prayed for a miracle to heal Fr. Jim. At the beginning of Fr. Jim’s cancer, Archbishop Pilarczyk requested all Cincinnati parishes to pray for a healing for Fr. Jim. When Fr. Jim died two years later, many wondered why the miracle did not happen.

Today, 20 years later, the great realization is another miracle is happening.

Fr. Jim’s writings and talks are fi nding a growing number of followers.

Since Fr. Jim’s death, his book, “Lessons from the School of Suff ering”, has sold thousands of copies and is now

translated into Spanish, Korean and Chinese languages. This book also has become a popular study guide in church ministry programs and in sick and suffering support groups.

Fr. Jim’s books, videos and talks are available on the Heart to Heart website, www.htoh.us. Heart to Heart’s website www.htoh.us provides a wide variety of the inspirational resources. The website off ers weekly Gospel Studies by Fr. Jim Willig, weekly homilies by Fr. Michael Sparough, SJ, daily seasonal videos, spiritual books, Lenten and Advent booklets, CDs, DVDs, downloads, podcasts, and several links for webcasts.

Cincinnati, the ‘city within a park,’ ranks eighth in the nation for access to parks Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Locals already know that Cincinnati is a great city for parks.

Now, everyone else knows thanks to a new study from the Trust for Public Land that ranked Cincinnati eighth in the nation for parks according to the trust’s ParkScore index. The ranking included 100 cities in the U.S. The study found that 87% of residents in Cincinnati live within a 10-minute walk to a park. The national average is 55%.

“Everyone in Cincinnati knows how special our parks are to the city, and it is great to have this validated by a signifi cant national organization who specializes in this work,” the Board of Park Commissioners said. “We remain thankful and humbled to serve as stewards of this wonderful system of parks.”

The board said the city has been described as “a city within a park.” The study found that 16% of Cincin-

nati’s city land is used for parks and recreation. The national median is 15%.

Cincinnati is home to 5,000-plus acres of city parklands including 70 neighborhood parks, 34 natural areas, two arboretums, and 65 miles of hiking and bridle trails, the board said.

The ParkScore index measures park systems according to fi ve categories: access, investment, amenities, acreage and equity.

Here’s how Cincinnati scored on those categories: h 80/100 for access. h 89/100 for investment. h 90/100 for amenities. h 53/100 for acreage. h 68/100 for equity.

In terms of equity, the study found that residents in neighborhoods of color have access to 15% less park space per person than the city median and 7% less than those in white neighborhoods.

Neighborhoods with multiple races had 4% more access than the city median, the index found.

Families enjoy the weather at Smale Park on the Ohio Riverfront in downtown Cincinnati on April 27.
