East Westwood council neighborhoods meeting focuses on violence reduction Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Aurelia Persley heard gunshots again July 25 near her home in the Village of Roll Hill, and she once again felt unsafe in her home for herself and her children. The mother of two spoke to city council members at the July 26 Cincinnati City Council special neighborhoods committee meeting about ﬁ nding solutions to stop violence in East Westwood and that she can’t sleep and hears regular gunshots. “I feel like I don’t want to go back home,” Persley said through tears. She said she can’t even let her children, including her 8-year-old son and her baby, be outside to play. “In the next three days, I could walk out my door and someone could be shooting next to me,” Persley said. “I don’t want that every time I step outside.” Persley said she ﬁ nds refuge in Third Presbyterian Church, where she prefers to be instead of at home. Residents of East Westwood have looked to City Hall for help in recent weeks after the shooting that seriously injured two children, ages 6 and 8. Residents have previously expressed frustration during a July safety town hall at conditions not improving, but getting worse. “We’ve been in a movement with progress in East Westwood before all of this,” said Rodney Christian, president of East Westwood Community Council. Christian said there are parents out there doing a great job. “But there’s some things they need help in,” he said. “They need to have a resource in-house, right there in their community, where they can walk to.” He said property owners need to make their places more presentable, give back to the community and be at all community meetings. East Westwood has been working on creating a hope resource center prior to the shooting of the two children. Christian said people have to change, and this isn’t just an East Westwood See WESTWOOD, Page 2A

Neighbors complain, but city says night ads on TQL Stadium sign OK Sharon Coolidge and Jayna Bardahl Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

When advertising for Procter & Gamble products began showing up on FC Cincinnati’s TQL Stadium’s lighted sign in May, nearby residents took to social media to complain. “This seems grossly unnecessary and intrusive and does little to serve the best interests of the neighborhood. It should be limited to event days/ event time,” wrote Donna Covrett, who can see the sign from her kitchen window. “I love seeing the city lights from my Prospect Hill windows, but these lights read like an obnoxious oversized billboard, that WAY overpowers all of the other city skyline lighting,” wrote Diane Debevec. “For real?” wrote Over-the-Rhine resident and Cincinnati City Council candidate Michelle Dillingham, along with a

picture of the sign. Cincinnati’s $250 million stadium for its new Major League Soccer franchise opened this spring in the West End neighborhood. The stadium was intended to showcase Cincinnati as a hip city embracing the world’s top sport and help revitalize the neighborhood near Downtown and Over-the-Rhine. “Once again, we are reborn here in the West End and opening up a stadium, the fastest growing sport in America, the largest sport in the world,” Mayor John Cranley proclaimed at the May 1 ceremonial opening. No one mentioned the ads for Charmin and Old Spice that would shine on the neighborhood. They left neighborhood residents wondering how the signs got there and if anything could be done about them.

Deadline for proposals to redevelop the Bolton & Lunsford Funeral Home is Oct. 1 WestCURC acquired the property in March in partnership with the Cincinnati Department of Community and Economic Development and The Port, WestCURC President Greg Hand said in a news release. Hamilton County auditor records show the corporation spent $317,500 for the property. Hand said Westwood is in the middle of a “dynamic revitalization” that would be bolstered by the redevelopment of the former Bolton & Lunsford Funeral Home. “During the past few years, signiﬁ cant private and public investment in the community has included a $3.8 million renovation and repositioning of

Town Hall Park, the multi-million dollar Madcap Education Center in the historic former Cincinnati Bell Telephone exchange, West Side Brewing in an old Rambler dealership, Nation Kitchen and Bar in a former ﬁ rehouse, celebrated restaurant Ivory House in the old Westwood Homestead Bank, Muse Café, and a number of boutique shops in the Ruehlmann Building, and award-winning Henke Winery,” he said. “Recently announced is Great Parks of Hamilton County's plans for a 22acre park and urban ecology center on the grounds of the former Gamble estate (on Werk Road), less than a mile from the funeral home.”

gize the Queen City.”

Residents frustrated with the advertising are crying foul over the process. “It was done in the dark of night,” said Sean Suder, a land use attorney and the city’s former chief counsel for land use and planning. “And it was done hastily because the opening of the stadium was imminent and the team had to get the lights on. What they don’t realize is there are a lot of people who live there watching closely to make sure it follows the letter of the law.” The Enquirer sought answers via email from City Manager Paula Boggs Muething, City Solicitor Andrew Garth and Ahouse, asking why the team didn’t need a notwithstanding ordinance. Kelly Carr, Boggs Muething’s chief of staff , responded. She said in an email: “The City has not permitted FC Cincinnati to use the exterior of its stadium for off -site advertisement. The certifi cate of compliance is clear on that point. The City administration, including the law department, works very hard to ensure that we are working with and providing support to partners who undertake projects within the City. These interactions are not ‘behind the scenes’ but are documented in the normal course through public records.” The certifi cate of zoning compliance is not provided online. Nor was notice provided to the community, as would have happened with a notwithstanding ordinance. So while the zoning certifi cate is a public record, a citizen would have to specifi cally go looking for it. The team provided the zoning certificate to The Enquirer, and The Enquirer provided it to Carr so she would know what questions were being based on. The certifi cate of zoning can still be appealed. “As is typical in complex development matters, the law department assisted with the city’s review of FC Cincinnati’s policy and its determination that the policy is compliant with applicable laws (which the City confi rmed through its issuance of the certifi cate of compliance),” Carr wrote in an email to The Enquirer. FC Cincinnati Marketing Director Meg Ryan would not disclose its offi cial rela-

tionship with P&G, saying only, “P&G is a partner. We are excited to share details at a future date when the partnership details are fi nalized.” Team President Jeff Berding referred questions to Ryan, who addressed questions about the sign and complaints via email. “We ... understand this is a new feature on Central Parkway,” Ryan said. “We were aware of some complaints when we initially lit and tested the fi ns.” So the team dimmed the lighting, Ryan said. Other concessions were made, too, she added. “Several of the graphics have changed since the fi rst evening the fi ns were lit,” Ryan said. “That was an adjustment our design team made based on their own assessment of the appearance once testing of lighting began. “We were aware of some complaints. We are not aware of any complaints since we made adjustments but acknowledge we will likely never please everyone.” Ryan pointed out that throughout the design phase of the stadium, team representatives shared plans with the community. When the advertising started in May just before the stadium opened, people who live near it were surprised. They thought advertising, other than for the stadium-related events, was not permitted, said Margy Waller, chair of the Overthe-Rhine Community Council’s Quality-of-Life and Infrastructure Committee and a resident who can see the stadium from her home. FC Cincinnati built a $250 million stadium in West End, with $34 million from the city of Cincinnati for infrastructure needs. The stadium opened in May. City Council voted 5-4 to approve the stadium in 2018, but it wasn’t an easy process. FC Cincinnati met resistance throughout each of the public votes to approve the stadium. There was criticism over displacement, team investment in the community and moving historic buildings. In the end, the team helped people move and invested almost $50 million in the West End community. And team offi cials worked to make sure the stadium didn’t encroach on the neighborhood. Part of that meant facing the main entrance to the east – away from a residential part of West End and Taft Information Technology High School. The 623-square-foot sign – almost twice the length of a regulation football fi eld – was made by Wisconsin-based Jones Sign Inc., which describes the sign on its website as having 14,370 liner feet of pixel stick across 840,000 LED lights. A team press release from the night the lights were unveiled said, “The dynamics of the exterior façade will ener-

them.” And race could be part of the issue, he said. “Because if the shooting happened somewhere else, all hell would have broke loose,” Christian said. He said in other communities people would have gotten on the phone and called the police to put a stop to it. “We have to start that in our community,” he said. Neighborhoods Committee Chairper-

son Jan-Michele Lemon Kearney, council member Betsy Sundermann and council member Steve Goodin were at the meeting. Kearney pledged to work to continue to ﬁ nd the $2.25 million in additional money needed to create a Boys and Girls Club in East Westwood. Dan Johnston, commander of Cincinnati Police Department District 3, spoke to the audience about the department’s ongoing work. He said oﬃ cers

use resources to focus on people known to repeatedly be where shootings and violence happen. Westwood resident Carol Brown said she mentors 120 girls, ages 5-25 through Third Rec Center. “I’m telling you all, please stop the violence, just stop,” she said. “Just stop. If you all are around somebody that’s carrying guns, move on. Move on.”

Approval, despite prohibitions An Enquirer review of stadium planning documents fi led with the city show Cincinnati Planning Commission and City Council permitted the sign, despite the fact the sign is larger than allowed under city laws and uses lighted motion animation, also forbidden under city code. Both entities also agreed the sign, which is comprised of a series of lighted fi ns, could be used every day from dusk until 1 a.m., though it must be dimmer than on non-game days. But planning documents, signed off on by the Planning Commission and City Council, said the sign could not be used for off -site advertising – even for team sponsors, other than the team’s naming rights partner, Total Quality Logistics. Off -site advertising promotes other businesses. Off -site advertising is not forbidden under city law, but is governed by a provision in the city code referred to as “cap and replace,” which says if one off -site sign goes up, another must come down. So for off -site advertising to be allowed on the sign, as is permitted on other large venues in the city, a separate city approval process would be needed. The team would need what’s called a “notwithstanding” ordinance, which is city approval to vary from a law. But that’s not what happened with the TQL Stadium sign, The Enquirer discovered in the wake of complaints.

What is the process? The team, last July, started the offi cial notwithstanding ordinance approval process to put advertising on the sign with the intention of using it for team sponsors. But the team never followed through. Instead, team offi cials worked with the city’s law department, a discussion that wasn’t public. Off -site advertising still isn’t allowed, but the city’s law department allowed team sponsors to appear on the sign, a city document shows. Here’s what’s appeared on the sign in recent weeks: advertisements for Dawn, Charmin and Old Spice, all Procter & Gamble brands. Plus there is advertising for Kroger and Mercy Health. The latter two businesses are announced named sponsors of the team. So while the display looks like off -site advertisements to go buy Dawn, Charmin and Old Spice, it really isn’t. Under the city policy regarding the sign, those

advertisements are recognition of team sponsors. The policy, drafted by the team itself, is attached to the stadium’s certiﬁ cate of zoning compliance, which is dated Feb. 18 and signed by Emily Ahouse, the city’s zoning administrator. Ahouse wrote in the certiﬁ cate of compliance that the policy was developed in coordination with the city’s law department.

Done in ‘dark of night’

What’s allowed, what’s not City laws restrict the type, size and number of signs permitted, but property owners have always been allowed to apply for what’s known as notwithstanding ordinance, which is basically legislative permission to vary the law. And that’s what team representatives told the Over-the-Rhine Community Council they were doing, but then didn’t. Sign use and advertising are regulated by the city’s municipal code. For instance, sign regulation 1429.09 prohibits seven types of signs, including “moving, ﬂ ashing or animated signs.” Outdoor advertising regulation 895-9 says, “Lighting shall not be used in any way in connection with any outdoor advertising sign unless it is so eﬀ ectively shielded as to prevent beams or rays of light from being directly cast on any portion of the street or highway, or is of such low intensity or brilliance as not to cause glare or to impair the vision of the driver. ...” Notwithstanding ordinances are made from time to time for the sins of other large event centers.

‘An overreach’ Jean Francois Flechet can see the stadium sign from his kitchen window in Over-the-Rhine. He’s been an FC Cincinnati supporter since day one and has season tickets. Still, he’s frustrated with the sign, but hopeful there can be a compromise. “The stadium is here to stay and we have to see how we can all live in harmony,” said Flechet, who owns the Taste of Belgium restaurants. “I’m in favor of an exemption to the city sign rules on match day and for other large events. Let’s showcase Cincinnati. It’s a beautiful stadium and that gigantic billboard is really impressive. “However, I think signage 365 days out of the year is an overreach. There is no audience to watch those nightly light shows other than the residents.” And if scaling back the days advertising is shown isn’t feasible, Flechet suggested something that has come up at past Over-the-Rhine Community Council meetings: FC Cincinnati revenue sharing with the community. In the meantime. Flechet extended this invitation: “I would gladly invite FCC ownership and local elected oﬃ cials for a drink at my place at night so they can see what residents go through on a nightly basis.” Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – July 28 (updated July 29).

Ex-principal accused of stealing from Diocese to pay oﬀ credit cards Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The onetime principal at a Catholic elementary school in East Price Hill has been accused of using an Archdiocese of Cincinnati account to pay oﬀ his personal credit cards. Richard Klus, who was principal at St. Lawrence School until June 30, is accused of stealing between $7,500 and $19,000, oﬃ cials said. Klus, 53, was recently indicted in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court on multiple counts of theft and tele-

communications fraud. Court documents say the thefts took place between April 2019 and Sept. 30, 2020. In a statement, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati said it regularly conducts fi nancial reviews of all its parishes and schools. “During a regularly scheduled fi nancial review, irregularities in the fi nancial practices at St. Lawrence School were uncovered. After an internal investigation, the archdiocese reported these irregularities to the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Offi ce,” the state-

ment said. “The archdiocese has fully cooperated with Hamilton County’s investigation of this matter.” Klus has been released on a personal recognizance bond. Oﬃ cials said he has not been principal since June 30. Klus could not immediately be reached July 22 for comment.

Sisters sentenced to jail, community service in BB gun attack Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The two sisters accused in a series of BB gun attacks on homeless people were sentenced to six months in jail and community service July 19, oﬃ cials said. Brittany Hopper, 29, of East Price Hill and Kelsey Hopper, 28, of Covington pleaded guilty to assault charges last month. Prosecutors said Brittany Hopper drove her boyfriend, David White, and her younger sister around Over-theRhine and Downtown in early June. Three people were shot during the attacks, according to court records. Two of the victims were experiencing homelessness. One of the victims was struck with a pellet just over his eye, according to Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Curt Kissinger. The judge said the man had to have the pellet removed at the hospital. The sisters were each sentenced to 180 days in jail, but both received some credit for time they had already served. Brittany Hopper will serve three years probation after her release. Kelsey will serve two years. Both women were also sentenced to 80 hours of community service. Kissinger, who handled Brittany Hopper’s case, said he wants her to do community service with the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition or a similar organization if they will have her. The trio are also facing tampering with evidence facing charges in Kentucky after they allegedly attempted to repaint the car used in the attacks to hide it from authorities. Kissinger said he believes White is in custody in Kentucky on that charge. He was scheduled to be sentenced in Ohio on July 21.

OH residents scramble to get last Walking Liberty Rolls

Once Ohio residents got wind that Ohio State Restricted Bank Rolls filled with Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s were being handed over, there was a mad dash to get them. That’s because some of these U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins are already worth hundreds in collector value. “It’s like a run on the banks. The phones are ringing off the hook. That’s because everyone is trying to get them before they’re all gone,” according to officials at the National Mint and Treasury who say they can barely keep up with all the orders. In fact, they had to impose a strict limit of 4 Ohio State Restricted Bank Rolls. So, if you get the chance to get your hands on these State Restricted Bank Rolls you better hurry because hundreds of Ohio residents already have and you don’t want to miss out. You see, the U.S. Gov’t stopped mint-

ing these Silver Walking Liberties in 1947 and there can never be any more which makes them extremely collectible. And here’s the best part. The rolls are unsearched so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value. That’s why at just the $39 state minimum per coin set by National Mint and Treasury it’s a deal too good to pass up. But you better hurry because these Ohio State Restricted Bank Rolls are the only ones known to exist and Ohio residents are grabbing them up as fast as they can. That’s because they make amazing gifts for children, grandchildren and loved ones. Just imagine the look on their face when you hand them one of the State Restricted Rolls — they’ll tell everyone they know what you did for them.

! GOT ‘EM: Residents all across Ohio who get their hands on these State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Roll are definitely showing them off. That’s because they are the only ones known to exist. And here’s the best part, these Bank Rolls are loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty coins some dating back to the early 1900’s and worth up to 100 times their face value so everyone wants them.

Last State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls go to Ohio residents Ohio residents get first dibs on last remaining Bank Rolls loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for the next 2 days STATE DISTRIBUTION: A strict limit of 4 State Restricted Bank Rolls per OH resident has been imposed “It’s a miracle these State Restricted Bank Rolls even exist. That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Director for the National Mint and Treasury. For the next 2 days the last remaining State of Ohio Restricted Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties are actually being handed over to Ohio residents who call the State Toll-Free Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication. “I recently spoke with a numismatic expert in United States of America coins and currency who said ‘In all my years as a numismatist I’ve only ever seen a handful of these rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties issued by the U.S. Gov’t back in the early 1900’s. But to actually find them sealed away in State Restricted Bank Rolls still in pristine condition is like finding buried treasure. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Bank Rolls had better hold on to them,’” Lynne said. “Now that the State of Ohio Restricted Bank Rolls are being offered up we won’t be surprised if thousands of Ohio residents claim the maximum limit allowed of 4 Bank Rolls per resident before they’re all gone,” said Lynne. “That’s because after the Bank Rolls were loaded with 15 rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks of the U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars sealed away inside the State of Ohio Restricted Bank Rolls have never been searched. But, we do know that some of these coins date clear back to the early 1900’s and are worth up to 100 times their face value, so there is no telling what Ohio residents will find until they sort through all the coins,” Lynne went on to say. And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of Ohio you cover only the $39 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, that’s fifteen rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties worth up to 100 times their face value for just $585 which is a real steal because non state residents must pay $118 per coin which totals $1,770 if any coins remain after the 2-day deadline. The only thing Ohio residents need to do is call the State Toll-Free Hotlines printed in today’s newspaper publication before the 2-day order deadline ends. “Rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins like these are highly sought after, but we’ve never seen anything like this before. According to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins many Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are now worth $40 - $825 each in collector value,” Lynne said. “We’re guessing thousands of Ohio residents will be taking the maximum limit of 4 Bank Rolls because they make such amazing gifts for any occasion for children, parents, grandparents, friends and loved ones,” Lynne continued. “We know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why hundreds of Hotline Operators are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30 am this morning. We’re going to do our best, but with just 2 days to answer all the calls it won’t be easy. So make sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to answer them all.” Lynne said. The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publication need to do is make sure they are a resident of the state of Ohio and call the National Toll-Free Hotlines before the 2-day deadline ends midnight tomorrow. !

SILVER: one of the last silver coins minted for circulation

VALUABLE: minted in philadelphia, denver & san francisco

ENLARGED TO SHOW DETAIL: year varies 1916-1947

RARELY SEEN: minted by the u.s. mint in the early 1900’s

FACTS:

HOW TO CLAIM THE LAST STATE RESTRICTED BANK ROLLS If you are a Ohio State Resident read the important information below about claiming the State Silver Bank Rolls, then call the State Toll-Free Hotline at 8:30 am: 1-800-979-3771 EXT: RWB1372

Are these Silver Walking Liberties worth more than other half dollars:

Yes. These U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties were minted in the early 1900’s and will never be minted again. That makes them extremely collectible. The vast majority of half dollars minted after 1970 have no silver content at all and these Walking Liberties were one of the last silver coins minted for circulation. That’s why many of them now command hundreds in collector value so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

How much are State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls worth:

It’s impossible to say, but some of these U.S Gov’t issued Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s are worth up to 100 times the face value and there are 15 in each Bank Roll so you better hurry if you want to get your hands on them. Collector values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But we do know they are the only Ohio State Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and Walking Liberties are highly collectible so anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Silver Bank Rolls should hold onto them because there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

Why are so many Ohio residents claiming them:

Cherry bounce never loses its appeal Small and large batch cherry bounce Cherries are usually left unpitted for looks and, as some folks believe, taste. You do what you want. I’m a purist here. I leave the pits in. Use either the dark, sweet cherries or the Rainier cherries. Ingredients small batch cherry bounce ⁄ 2pound fresh cherries, washed and stemmed, pitted or not

About 8 oz or so rock candy or 1 generous cup of granulated sugar ⁄ 2 bottle bourbon whiskey (full bottle is 750 ml)

Instructions Put cherries in glass jar. Put sugar on top. Pour whiskey over. Put lid on and shake daily until sugar dissolves (rock candy takes a bit longer than granulated). If it needs more rock candy/sugar, add it in small amounts. Let infuse for 3-6 months. Check after several weeks and if using rock candy on sticks or strings, remove. (No worries if you forget — just remove them before serving).

Cherry bounce is an old favorite. PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

As many of you know, every summer I share a version of the liqueur George Washington made famous: cherry bounce. Martha, his wife, had among her surviving papers a recipe for cherry bounce using cherries, French brandy, sugar and spices. He took it in canteens on his various trips. I’m thinking it did a couple of things: cherries are good anti-inﬂ ammatories after a hard day of riding, and a little nip prior to bedding down for the night not only tasted good but most likely calmed jangled nerves. Last year, and again this year, I made the bounce in small, and large batches and with two kinds of cherries. One with the dark, sweet cherries and the other with Rainier, a yellow/red cherry. I used bourbon whiskey, less expensive than brandy. Interesting how the bounces turned out. The dark cherries made a bounce with a vibrant color and deep ﬂ avor. Bounce made from Rainier cherries was lighter in col-

A lovely cordial, topping for ice cream or cake or added to sparkling water. Let folks know cherries have pits if you left them unpitted. Pits should not be ingested.

You can use rock candy for the bounce.

or and more mellow in ﬂ avor. I’m not sure which is my favorite. Both have medicinal qualities, as my friend, Mary Rudloﬀ of blessed memory told me years ago. So whether you use the bounce as a medicinal for “anything that ails you, especially in winter,” or as a jewel-like cordial, I know you’ll understand why cherry bounce never loses its appeal. In the old days, rock candy was used for the bounce. I’ve adapted the recipe to use that, or just plain granulated sugar.

A couple of teaspoons as a medicinal, or in a cordial glass as a liqueur. Tip: can’t ﬁ nd fresh cherries? Use frozen, thawed, unsweetened cherries. What is rock candy? Sometimes called crystal or rock sugar, rock candy is formed by letting a very saturated solution of sugar and water crystalize onto a surface, like a string, stick, or just granulated sugar.

Who approved the Biden town hall at Mount St. Joe? No one wants to say Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – July 21 (updated July 22). Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. No one seems to want the credit at Mount St. Joseph University for approving President Joe Biden’s CNN Town Hall July 21. Outrage spread quickly among antiabortion groups and Catholics when news spread July 19-20 that the Catholic university in Cincinnati’s suburban Delhi Township would host Biden’s nationally televised event. All a spokesperson for Mount St. Joseph would say is “university leadership” approved the town hall. Those in university leadership contacted by The Enquirer didn’t respond. When The Enquirer called on July 22 for university president H. James Williams, a voicemail message gave a long explanation for why Mount St. Joseph hosted Biden. The voicemail message stated that while the university might not agree with all the views of the president, they respect the presidency of the United States and are “humbled to host the leader of the free world.” The voicemail also points out that Pope Francis has met with Biden in the past. “We pray for leaders of the community during these challenge times,” the voicemail message stated. Credit for the town hall has become a hot potato in the local Catholic community. The Archdiocese of Cincinnati and university initially referred questions to the Sisters of Charity, who founded Mount St. Joseph in 1920. The order’s motherhouse is located there. The Sisters of Charity didn’t respond to the growing controversy for two days. Then, as criticism mounted, the Sisters of Charity issued a statement disavowing the Biden event, saying it was between CNN and Mount St. Joseph Uni-

versity. When The Enquirer contacted Mount St. Joseph Board of Trustee members, rather than respond directly, some of them reached out to public relations consultant Pat Crowley, who sent a statement on the university’s behalf. The university, in the statement, absolved the Sisters of Charity. The Sisters of Charity provide “overall direction and ongoing evaluation” for the university, Crowley said in the email. But Mount St. Joseph University is ﬁ nancially independent from the Sisters of Charity and governed by an independent board of trustees. The board of

trustees has four members of the Sisters of Charity. Evidently, the 27-member board of trustees also didn’t approve it. It was “university leadership” Crowley said in an email. He declined to say who in leadership. But the university, in the statement, stood by the decision. “The decision to permit the CNN Town Hall to take place at Mount St. Joseph is consistent with the University’s policies and mission to embrace a diverse and inclusive place where people from diﬀ erent races, ethnicities, social backgrounds, beliefs, and religions can come together to discuss and share their

unique perspectives,” the university said in the statement. Biden, while touring a union training center on Glenway Avenue, did not respond to an Enquirer question about the controversy. He did answer one question about his infrastructure bill after touring the union training center. Mount St. Joseph University President Dr. H. James Williams did not respond to an email July 21. A message to Jeﬀ Wampler, Mount St. Joseph’s vice president of Marketing and Communications, was also not returned. Biden met with Williams and his wife, Carole, after the event, according to the White House.

Local GOP chaiman on Biden visit: ‘He’s kind of not welcome here’ Alexander Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

DELHI TOWNSHIP, Ohio — As President Joe Biden spoke at Mount St. Joseph University here July 21 in suburban Cincinnati, local Republicans gathered nearby at Linnie’s Pub. Greeting a crowd of about 50, Hamilton County GOP Chairman Alex Triantafi lou said he was “shocked” that Biden chose the ruby-red West Side of suburban Cincinnati for his latest visit. He noted Green and Delhi Townships voted nearly 70% against the president in last November’s election “He’s (Joe Biden) kind of not welcome here,” Triantafi lou told guests at the event. He added the GOP event was meant to “celebrate a diff erent voice.” Biden visited Mount St. Joseph University here as part of a CNN-hosted town hall meeting July 21 at 8 p.m. Biden’s appearance wasn’t aired on the bar’s TVs. After brief remarks by organizers, attendees sat and drank beer. The choice of bar was no accident: Linnie’s Pub won national attention this spring after it traded shots with NBA star LeBron James. The basketball player called for “AC-

COUNTABILITY” on Twitter in response to a fatal oﬃ cer-involved shooting in Columbus, Ohio. In response, bar-owner Jay Linneman publicly announced that he would halt airing NBA games at the bar until James was “expelled” from

the league. “Aww Damn,” James tweeted sarcastically in response. “I was headed there to watch our game tonight and have a drink! Welp.” Michelle Cox, a school teacher from

Green Township, said she attended the July 21 event because the events of the past year have spurred a desire to become more politically engaged. She’s upset over the shutdowns and school disruptions of the past year and concerned children might be required to be vaccinated. “Kids want to be in school and teachers want to teach them and see their faces,” she said. Her husband, Rick, who works as a freight broker, said he’s worried about the lingering eff ects of the COVID-19 pandemic. He noted continued disruptions in supply chains and the labor shortage faced by many companies. “There’s a real hiccup in the system and the government put it there with the shutdowns,” he said. “We’re still seeing ripple eff ects, tidal waves.” Grace Lobono, a facilities manager from Bridgetown, expressed concern about the fl ood of stimulus money the country has spent to prop up the economy. “There’s too many checks going out to people not working,” she said. The event was called by the Hamilton County Republican Party, which decried Biden’s “left-wing message.”

US Attorney's Oﬃ ce asks for contempt ﬁ nding against landlord Kim Schupp Fox 19

CINCINNATI - The United States Attorney’s Offi ce fi led a motion July 27 asking a federal judge to fi nd a Cincinnati landlord in civil contempt of court for failing to meet the requirements of a negotiated federal agreement. The United States sued John Klosterman in 2018, alleging he sexually harassed female tenants since at least 2013 at the 55 residential properties he and his wife Susan Klosterman owned in Sedamsville. According to the complaint, Klosterman engaged in unwanted sexual

touching, oﬀ ered to reduce rent, and overlook or excuse late or unpaid rent in exchange for sex. In addition, he evicted or threatened to evict female tenants who objected to or refused sexual advances and went into tenants’ homes without their permission and monitored their daily activities using cameras. In 2020, the lawsuit was settled with Klosterman, who agreed to various terms in the agreement. The July 27 ﬁ ling states Klosterman violated these terms: h Accurately represent and update the extent of their rental property holdings;

h Cease personally interacting with tenants or otherwise participating in rental management; h Secure an independent property manager for any properties owned outside of a receivership created as a result of a lawsuit fi led by the City of Cincinnati; h Complete fair housing training and ensure compliance with a sexual harassment policy; and h Pay monetary damages. According to the motion fi led by the U.S. Attorney’s Offi ce, Klosterman continues to personally manage fi ve rental properties, failed to secure an independent property manager, and has been

accused of further improper conduct regarding female tenants. The motion asks the court to ﬁ ne Klosterman $100 per day and $500 per incident until he meets various provisions of the consent decree. It also asks the court to extend the duration of the decree by nine months, until July 2026. Tenants can report sexual harassment or other forms of housing discrimination by calling the Justice Department’s Housing Discrimination Tip Line at 1-800-896-7743, e-mailing the Justice Department at fairhousing@usdoj.gov, or submitting a report online.

Danny Austing, left and his brother, Charlie, Wednesday, June 30, 2021. TONY TRIBBLE FOR THE ENQUIRER

Brotherly bond led Austing brothers to Taylor High School Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Growing up, Danny Austing felt destined to be an Elder Panther. He had good reason to believe it would happen. He and his dad had season tickets to Elder basketball and he had an Elder hoop in the basement, which was designed to look like “The Pit,” the renowned home of Elder football for over 70 years. All of his cousins and both of his grandfathers went to the West Price Hill high school, as did his dad, Dan. He knew what good contacts they’d made while going to school there. He knew that the bonds they’d forged early on had mattered throughout their lives. There was little doubt he’d follow in their footsteps. But as Danny was nearing the end of middle school, his father approached him for what seemed to be an unthinkable proposition: How about attending a diff erent high school? “We just wanted to run it by Danny about going to Taylor,” Dan remembers. “It was going to be his choice. We just wanted to see what he had to say. “At fi rst he was like, ‘Are you kidding?’” Then Danny did something that surprised everyone. Even Danny. He said that’d be fi ne. This way, he’d get to go to school with his younger brother, Charlie. Charlie, 16, has cerebral palsy. He was

born three months premature and suffered a hemorrhage at birth that left him extremely limited on his left side. But Charlie had been in the Three Rivers School District since his third birthday and his parents quickly fell in love with how he was treated there. “We got to know the people at Taylor from how great they were with Charlie,” Dan said. “Everywhere we went we would see kids that we really didn’t know who would come up and say hi to Charlie and give him the rock.” Danny knew, too, about how his

brother had found a home in the district. So no matter that Danny had spent his childhood in a purple and white bubble. No matter that Elder’s school motto, Altiora, translates to “strive for higher things” and Danny had always been a striver. No matter that he believed Elder could open doors for him later in life. That was not what mattered now. Danny’s lifelong partner in crime took priority. “Elder had a huge impact on my life. I never thought of going anywhere else,” Danny said. “But the ﬁ rst thing that came to my mind was being able to go to school with Charlie.” Danny’s decision to attend Taylor caused some sleepless nights for his father. Dan says he was second-guessed by family members and friends and didn’t know how Danny would handle the brand-new environment. There were also other possible repercussions down the road that weighed heavily on Dan’s mind. “I didn’t want Danny when he’s 30 to ask, ‘Why didn’t you let me go to school with Charlie?’ But I also didn’t want Danny to be resentful because I didn’t let him to go to Elder,” Dan said. But Danny and Charlie’s bond is a lot stronger than outside opinions. Danny learned from a young age that he’d be second ﬁ ddle to Charlie on most days. It was not uncommon to see only one parent at his basketball games growing up, because Charlie was sensitive to the loud buzzers. And early on, he

and his older sister, Ellie, had to grow up fast, always assisting their parents with their baby brother, which meant helping him get dressed, eat or get up and down the stairs. “I’ve just learned that it wasn’t always gonna be about me,” Danny said. And that was a gift. “Sometimes when I’m having a bad day, I’ll realize that he’s gotta do this every day and it’s hard for him. I’ve learned to appreciate things more and it’s been good for me.” But just as the village of Cleves welcomed Charlie with open arms, it did the same for Danny. In three years, he’s become a top guard on the Taylor basketball team, recently leading the Yellow Jackets to their fi rst winning season in 27 years and being named third-team All-Ohio. He is also one of the top golfers in the Cincinnati Hills League. “All of the people at Taylor have been great to me,” Danny said. “They welcomed me right away and made it a lot easier when I thought it would be diffi cult to go to a new school.” In the halls of Taylor High School, Charlie and Danny are the dynamic duo. They ride to school together each morning, attend parties together and Charlie, now able to go to games, is a VIP member of “The Swarm,” the Taylor student section, at each home basketball game. It’s been a perfect fi t for what Dan and his wife, Jill, wanted for their two See BROTHERS, Page 2B

La Salle 2022 running back Gi’Bran Payne commits to Indiana Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

La Salle's Gi'Bran Payne runs over Elder's Austin Wandstrat during their football game on Aug. 27. TONY TRIBBLE FOR THE ENQUIRER

One of the most electrifying prep football players in Greater Cincinnati has decided on a new home after high school. La Salle 2022 running back Gi’Bran Payne has committed to Indiana University, the senior announced via Twitter on July 23. Payne is dubbed as a four-start recruit by 247Sports, which also lists him as the No. 9 overall player in the state and 14th best running back in the nation for the Class of 2022 in its composite rankings. Payne’s oﬀ er sheet included nearly 20 Division I programs. A two-time second-team Greater

Catholic League-South selection, Payne helped lead La Salle to a Division II state championship in 2019. As a sophomore that season, he ran for 790 yards and nine touchdowns, while catching eight balls for 141 yards and three scores. He also earned secondteam all-district honors. He burst on the scene that fall with a 152-yard performance in a 41-20 victory over Moeller on October 4, 2019. In the postseason, he ran for 141 yards and two touchdowns against Walnut Ridge, ran for a score and had a 95-yard pick-six against Harrison, then rushed 14 times for 129 yards and a touchdown in the state championship game against Massillon Perry.

TQL Stadium to host World Cup qualiﬁ er Pat Brennan Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

For the United States and Mexico men’s national soccer teams, the road to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar passes through Cincinnati and TQL Stadium. Offi cials on July 28 announced the U.S.-Mexico 2022 World Cup qualifi er will be staged and hosted by U.S. Soccer at TQL Stadium on Nov. 12, bringing the bitter, decadesold U.S.-Mexico men’s soccer rivalry to West End. “We’ve done it,” FC Cincinnati Chief Executive Offi cer and Controlling Owner Carl Lindner III told the assembled media and other visitors for the July 28 announcement. “One of the most signifi cant soccer matches in the world will be played right here in TQL Stadium.

sons. Danny has opened a lot of doors socially for Charlie, where high school might be his only chance to meet new people. “He’s probably not gonna have an independent adult life, so we knew what Danny would do for Charlie to enjoy his teen years,” Dan said. Of all the athletic accolades Danny will collect in his life, Dan is most proud of his full-time job of being a good

Payne Continued from Page 1B

“He (Payne) is unbelievable,” La Salle head coach Pat McLaughlin said after the regional championship win over Harrison. “We’re a more dynamic

in the exciting spirit of this match in November. ... Awesome news, isn’t it?” The game marks the third U.S. Soccer match staged in Cincinnati during the FC Cincinnati era, with the U.S. women’s team staging and winning a friendly against New Zealand in September 2017. In June 2019, the U.S. men played a friendly at the University of Cincinnati’s Nippert Stadium and lost to Venezuela. The U.S-Mexico match is about as big as at gets in North and Central America, and is part of the round-robin style qualifying process for the 2022 World Cup. Eight nations will compete in what some are calling an “octagonal” World Cup qualifying process for FIFA’s “Concacaf ” region, which comprises the soccer federations from North and Central America and the Caribbean. Other qualifying matches will be contested against Canada, Honduras, El Salvador, Panama, Costa Rica and Jamaica.

But the U.S-Mexico rivalry is unlike the region’s other soccer feuds. “It’s huge. It’s one of the biggest rivalries in the world of football,” said DaMarcus Beasley, an Indiana native and American national team veteran of four World Cups during a decorated professional career. “I was honored and blessed to play in a lot of (U.S.-Mexico games), home and away. So, I know the signifi cance of that game. Every player wants to play in that game, whether it’s in Azteca (Stadium) or whether it’s in the United States, every player wants to play in that game. ...” The game is the marquee rivalry in this part of the world, attracts signifi cant media attention and the Americans have typically prevailed against Mexico, nicknamed “El Tri,” on U.S. soil. Since 2001, the rivalry’s World Cup qualifi ers on American shores have played out in Columbus, where historic Crew Stadium served as a fortress for the Americans.

From 2001 to 2013, the U.S. hosted the Mexico World Cup qualifi er at Crew Stadium four times and won each game by 2-0 scorelines, which birthed the “dos a cero” moniker. “Dos a Cero” became a phrase that was synonymous with the Americans’ dominance over Mexico in World Cup qualifying. It also extends to a 2-0 U.S. win against Mexico in the biggest game in the history of the rivalry, a 2002 FIFA World Cup round-of-16 match in Jeonju, South Korea, that saw the Americans advance to the quarterfi nals of the World Cup. It wasn’t until the 2018 Russia World Cup cycle, and a qualifi er held in Columbus in November 2016, when Mexico beat the Americans at the now-former home of the Crew MLS franchise. Ticket information for November’s World Cup qualifi er is expected to be released in the near future, but no details on the TQL Stadium match were available Wednesday.

brother. “He does things for Charlie that most 17-year-old kids would never have to do,” Dan said. Charlie has his own passion outside of supporting his big brother. He is involved in the Taylor drama department and excels at music. He has two pianos, a keyboard, a ukulele and a few guitars, which he taught himself to play one-handed. His album, “Best of Charlie Austing” was released on YouTube last December and another album is set to drop this year. “One thing that’s always been there is music,” Dan said. “Other than Danny

being his idol, music is his second love.”

For Danny, it’ll be just as diﬃ cult. “I’ve never been away from Charlie for that long,” Danny said. “It would be such a huge change and I don’t think he fully understands it. It’ll be tough.” But if the Austing family has learned anything over the past couple of years, it’s that change can be a positive. As popular as Danny is at Taylor, Charlie may have him beat. Soon, Danny will likely be weighing his options on where he’ll play college basketball. When he does, Charlie will have a new student section to join. “He’s always been my best friend,” Danny said. “That’ll never change.”

team when he’s out there. We’re spreading the ball around well. For a sophomore as explosive as he is, he can make people miss — he’s just one of the more dynamic players I’ve ever been around.” Last season, Payne’s season was cut short due to an ankle injury that limited him to just 43 carries over seven games.

He still started the year with a bang, running for 113 yards and two touchdowns while tallying three receptions for 54 yards and two additional scores in a 53-52 shootout win over Elder in the season-opener at The Pit. Payne had just nine carries in La Salle’s ﬁ rst three playoﬀ games before he was sidelined for the regional cham-

An inevitable goodbye As great as Taylor has been for the Austing brothers, the end is imminent. Danny’s senior year is approaching, signaling the countdown of his ﬁ nal high school days and the beginning of a new chapter. The family has already started discussions with Charlie about what will happen after this year. “Charlie is fretting over that a little bit,” Dan said. “He’ll say, ‘I want to go to school with Danny.’ I know he doesn’t want Danny to graduate.”

SCHOOL NEWS Shop sustainably and prepare for the upcoming school year Millions of students are preparing to head back to the classroom this fall, giving new meaning to the term “back to school.” After more than a year of online classes, many students have changed their styles and are discovering the fashions that suit them best. In preparation for their return to the classroom, students can visit Goodwill stores to shop for their back-to-school needs. Whether it’s new clothes, shoes or accessories, visit your local Goodwill store for your one-stop shop for backto-school essentials. There are 19 Goodwill stores in the Greater Cincinnati community ﬁ lled with thousands of fashion faves. While back-to-school shopping, Goodwill encourages people to donate the clothing and other items they no longer need. Last year, Ohio Valley Goodwill received more than 750,000 donations right here in Greater Cincinnati from our generous donors. Through a business model of collecting and selling donated goods and recycling those items that can’t be sold, Ohio Valley Goodwill helps communities extend the life of usable items in environmentally sound ways. Shopping at Goodwill stores also supports employment placement, job training and support services, such as career counseling for people with disabilities and our nation’s veterans. Last year, Goodwill provided services to almost 3,000 people and helped 580 to get jobs. Shoppers can also shop for back-toschool items on shopgoodwill.com, an online auction site operated by Goodwill, to ﬁ nd popular items such as calculators, musical instruments, sports equipment and many other items they’ll need for the upcoming school year. For a complete directory of all 19 Goodwill stores, visit www.goodwillbargains.com and enjoy shopping sustainably this Back-to-School season. Evelyn Ritzi, Ohio Valley Goodwill Industries

blood continues to grow as local hospitals re-schedule elective surgeries and more patients receive treatments that were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “As the only collector and provider of blood products in the Tristate area, Hoxworth continues to call on the Cincinnati community to roll up their sleeves and donate,” Nicolas said. “And since the Queen City is one of the brewery capitals of the United States, what better way to encourage blood donations than the opportunity to ﬁ ll a growler with some local brew?” The ﬁ rst blood drive tour date will be on Aug. 12 at Wiedemann’s Brewery, with more dates running through September and October. h Aug. 12 - Wiedemann’s Brewery h Aug. 13 - Wooden Cask Brewing Company

Cincinnati Animal CARE in a ‘code red,’ needs help with fostering, adopting Emily DeLetter Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Cincinnati Animal CARE Humane Society really needs your help. In a Facebook post July 10, the animal shelter said all of its emergency kennels, oﬃ ces and existing foster homes are full, and adoptions have slowed down. “This is code red with the darkest red crayon in the box,” the post reads. Since the July 10 post, 28 additional dogs have come into the shelter. Shelters across the country saw a boom of adoptions when the COVID-19 pandemic arrived, but some are now starting to see those rates slow down or ani-

mal returns increase. Even though shelters across the U.S. are experiencing a huge return of dogs, it doesn’t appear to be a national trend, USA TODAY reported. While owner surrenders were up 82.6% compared to 2020, they are down by 12.5% vs. 2019, according to Best Friends Animal Society. The shelter is looking for help, mainly through adoptions and fostering, which is free and temporary. Cincinnati Animal CARE will provide foster individuals or families with the supplies needed to temporarily care for the animals. Name your price adoptions are also still in play. Normally, an adult dog adoption is $75 and an adult cat adoption is $25, according to the shelter’s website, but you can pay more or less.
