‘Nightmare after nightmare’ Why 120-year-old St. Lawrence Bakery is closing

Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A longtime West Side bakery has closed its doors after more than 100 years of service.

St. Lawrence Bakery closed abruptly on Aug. 7, citing electrical issues, and now thousands of Facebook users have begun to share memories of the bakery and off er assistance and funds.

“It’s been nightmare after nightmare, we didn’t know if the electric was going to be on or the heat,” said Bill Hartmann, one of the brothers who own the bakery.

Nightmare after nightmare St. Lawrence Bakery is sandwiched between variety shops and nestled below several apartments.

The issues in the building have been around for a long time, Hartmann said.

Pipes have leaked into the storefront.

For a winter in 2019, he said the building went without heat.

Thursday, July 29 was the fi nal straw.

Paul Hartmann, the other owner, was in the bakery working late at night when the electricity stopped working.

“For a bakery, you don’t stop in the middle of baking things and wait around for somebody to fi x something,” Bill Hartmann said.

The electricity was out for the entire weekend, causing eggs, produce and dairy products to go bad. Hartmann estimated it was about $4,000 worth of food. “Everything we make is fresh, by hand,” he said.

An electrician said it could take up to two months to fi x everything, Hartmann said. He doesn’t believe the landlord would help pay for the nearly $20,000 it would take to fi x everything and replace equipment.

The landlord has not returned a request for comment from The Enquirer.

All of the losses and issues with the building left the family with only one choice, St. Lawrence Bakery offi cially put up a sign on the door announcing its closure.

“Insurance won’t cover everything.

We’d have to take our landlord to court, it’s not worth it. I’ve been getting calls from City Council, they want to relocate us, we don’t want people giving us mon-

ey,” Hartmann said. “We just can’t deal with this anymore. We’re too old to move to a new place.”

The future of St. Lawrence Bakery On Aug. 3, in the bakery, full of empty shelves that would house cookies, brownies, strudels, donuts, jelly rolls and butter donuts, Bill and Paul talked about the future.

72-year-old Bill Hartmann is sad to close the bakery for good. His dad opened St. Lawrence Bakery in 1901 and the business has been family-run ever since.

Paul and Bill took it over in 1978.

Bill has always thought the bakery was going to end with the two of them, none of the kids in the family had plans to someday own and run the bakery.

In fact, Bill Hartmann is mostly retired at this point. His brother, now 64, See BAKERY, Page 2A

The little boy with orange hair and a spray of freckles adorning his face walked into the basketball gymnasium at his mother’s side to see a winding line of people and long tables and nurses in white uniforms.

Bobby, 5, stepped forward when it was his turn.

“The fi rst nurse handed me a little white cup.”

“The second nurse dropped a sugar cube in the cup.”

“The third nurse put three drops of liquid into the cup.”

“I asked my mom, ‘What’s this?’ ” She said, “’Don’t worry, just take it.’”

Later, she explained he’d been given polio vaccine.

It was a big day for Bobby Frenck.

And as he recounts the experience of 61 years ago, Dr. Robert Frenck realizes

something he’s never thought about before: The polio vaccine was his fi rst connection, however vague, to vaccine research at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. That’s where the live oral polio vaccine was developed in 1960, which, the hospital notes, amplifi ed early gains against polio that were made with an injected vaccine.

And for the past 16 months, Frenck has been at the helm of clinical trials in that same vaccine research center, helping make possible another type of inoculation: COVID-19 vaccine.

Frenck is director of the Gamble Center for Vaccine Research at Cincinnati Children’s in the city’s Avondale neighborhood. His team of more than 50 includes nurses, pharmacists, physicians, lab techs and clinical research associates.

National Institutes of Health-funded Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Units in the country. Frenck communicates with infectious disease experts around the world and works with young doctors as they learn the specialty.

It was Frenck who hit the go button that pushed the research center into a nationwide focal point of COVID-19 pandemic vaccine clinical trials. His nod came in April 2020, just after COVID-19 erupted in the Cincinnati area, and it was, for the Cincinnati Children’s vaccine center, the beginning of a string of clinical trials that would include adults, adolescents and young children, immunocompromised patients and others.

Jumping in was not a popular idea among some of his team members at fi rst, Frenck says.

“I got a lot of fl ak for it,” he says. “They wanted to go home.”

“They were asking, ‘Why are you making us stay?’

There were people that were angry with me.”

He understands: “It was that original shock. It’s an emotional response.”

“I told them, ‘We need to be going to work. This is what we train for. This is what our job is. We’ll be OK.’ ” Frenck, who went to medical school on a Navy scholarship, used his military training to lead his staff .

“He was very calm and conveyed to us what an important role we would be playing in history,” says Michelle Dickey, operations director of the vaccine research center.

The team had daily meetings to coordinate activities, she says, “and these continue to today.” They worked 10- to 12-hour days, seven days a week, for months. Dickey says Frenck’s leadership skills, his military background, his dedication to precision were all evident.

Frenck has likened the pandemic to a war. There have been victories, like this big one: It came via a phone call he received in November. The caller was a Pfi zer physician.

“They had results: The vaccine was 95% eff ective,” he recalls. “It felt like the world had been removed from my shoulders. I thought, ‘Thank God. There is an end in sight.’ “ “We had no idea that the vaccines were going to work,” he states plainly.

Frenck is not all orders and follow-through, despite that military background. Nor does he seek affi rmation for vaccine accomplishments. He credits his team for the work, often including nurses in research manuscripts. He credits Cincinnati-area residents, who routinely raise their hands to get into vaccine trials. During the pandemic, about 1,400 of them, ages 6 months to 86 years, made the COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials possible.

Into the fray His childhood, particularly high school in southern California, helps explain the adult he has become.

Frenck was not among the most popular kids at school.

“I would have considered myself the nerd. Doing math and doing science,” he says. “I was in the marching band.”

“School was my oasis. I was comfortable, and I enjoyed learning,” he says.

He had to know how to take a little teasing from the other kids.

“I had the dubious honor of ‘most freckles’ in my senior high school class,” he says. “My very funny friends use to call me ‘Little Bobby Frenck’ because I was bigger than most of them.”

He met his New Orleans-born wife, Keila Dawson, at Yokosuka Naval Station in Japan. Dawson, now a children’s book author, was the principal of the elementary school on base. Frenck, a pediatrician, was the school physician.

Years later, they and their two children spent eight years in Egypt.

“The people were wonderful and so generous in trying to help me learn Arabic,” Frenck says.

Fast forward to a muggy Friday afternoon in June at Laurel Park in Cincinnati’s West End. Frenck sits on a chair to get eye-to-eye with a small woman with a question. She is worried. She doesn’t know whether to take her teenage son for a COVID-19 vaccination. He’d contracted the virus, she says, and he might have antibodies.

Yes, Frenck answers, the boy should get the vaccine.

A smile breaks through the concern on Shereen Elshaer’s face.

“He told me in Arabic!” Elshaer explains, laughing.

Always the scientist, Frenck had quietly observed the woman, made a hypothesis (“She looked Egyptian, maybe Jordanian,” he says later), then tested it – by speaking the language. And he connected.

He continues to connect around Laurel Park that morning, dropping to his knee to comfort a middleaged woman in a folding chair who is nervous about getting vaccinated. Pulling down his mask at a safe distance from a man who challenges the objectives of those who push for vaccination.

It becomes clear the man has no intention of getting vaccinated. Which does not deter Frenck from continuing to chat with him, giving facts, busting myths – and listening.

Frenck’s confi dent delivery is as solid as is the fl uidity of his audience of the moment. From a homeless man to a couple of college students, he remains engaged. He is relentless about accuracy. He is direct.

“I’m a Google,” he off ers, simply.

It’s an understatement, say those who know him.

“He has a unique gift of connecting with people and explaining even the most complicated matters in simple terms that people can understand and relate to,” says Monica Mitchell, Cincinnati Children’s senior director of community relations.

She was with Frenck and the Mobile Care Unit of Cincinnati Children’s, which carried the Pfi zer vaccine, at the clinic in the park.

The appearance was just one of Frenck’s many.

Through the pandemic – and regardless of intense workweeks – he has led talks at schools, churches and on Zoom about the value of the vaccine trials and, later, the need to get vaccinated.

“Oh, my God,” said Jacqueline Humphries, a West End Community Research Advisory Board member.

She’d joined one of the Zoom calls that hosted Frenck.

“They got people together to fi nd out the reasons people are hesitant. If you had a question, you could just call him and ask.”

It was Frenck who lobbied for Cincinnati Children’s COVID-19 vaccine clinics in the city’s vaccine-hesitant neighborhoods. He wants everyone to get vaccinated.

And he will do his part to encourage them, whatever it takes, say his colleagues.

If you were at Findlay Market in Over-the-Rhine on May 14, you might have seen him translating for a Spanish-speaking woman who wanted a vaccine – and then speaking Spanish with her young daughter as the mother was inoculated.

The children, he confesses, are his favorite.

A pediatrician always In medical school, Frenck chose pediatrics because it’s not just about fi xing people.

“With the kids, if you can have an eff ect early, you can actually have an eff ect on their whole life. So you’re preventing something, rather than trying to treat something.”

Infectious disease was another specialty he chose.

In his Cincinnati Children’s biography, Frenck includes: “Vaccines are the most impressive public health measure to reduce the rates of disease. I was inspired to pursue this area of pediatric patient care because infections are still the leading cause of death among children worldwide. I believe that fi nding

methods to reduce infections among children will greatly enhance children’s lives and help them grow up into healthy, happy adults.”

He is at a professional point where he could focus only on research. “But I enjoy doing work with the kids,” he says. “You can play with them, you can be goofy with them.”

And so, Frenck continues to treat kids at the Cincinnati Children’s infectious disease clinic.

When he enters a patient room, he sits – so as not to impose his 6-foot-4-inch frame on the child. He’ll ask about her toy, or what videogames he likes best.

“What I never do is lie to them,” Frenck says. “They ask, ‘Is this going to hurt?’ ‘Yes. This is gonna hurt,’” he tells them. “‘But if you need to cry, that’s OK.’” “As soon as you lie, you’re done,” he explains.

“You’ve lost their trust.”

That trust is everything, he says.

From the start of COVID-19 clinical trials, Frenck advocated to include children as soon as possible.

Again and again, he told other researchers and anyone he could reach (he’s been on national and local TV news shows, in digital and print news publications) that the children must be protected.

He’s had the pleasure, he says, of interacting with children through the pandemic as the research center’s work has included COVID-19 vaccine trials for them.

He says he always asked the teenagers why they wanted to take part in a trial.

“It was universally the same answer: ‘If it’s not me, then who else? It’s important for my friends to see that I did it and it’s OK.’ “ “They wanted to advance things. The kids really were doing it for others,” Frenck says.

The youngest children, he says, may have not quite understood.

But on one spring day this year, Frenck walked into a room to see a small clinical trial patient waiting with her parents.

The girl, 4, was dressed in a green romper decorated with a spray of white polka dots. A white bow adorned her blonde hair.

“I came in the room and introduced myself,” Frenck said. “I told her she looked very pretty, and she said, ‘Thank you.’ “ What she said next triggered delight in the tall pediatrician and vaccine expert.

“I am going to get my COVID vaccine today!” the girl told Frenck.

“I said, ‘You are?’ “ he recalls. “And she said – with a big smile and very proud – ‘Yes I am!’ “ It was, for the little girl, and in a way, for Bob Frenck, a very important day.

Paul is inspired by the thousands of people who have reached out and posted about the closing of the bakery.

“We were thinking it was all over but now I’m not

Cincinnati offi cers sued for chase that killed couple in Newport

|

Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Three Cincinnati police offi cers are being sued for their roles in a highspeed chase last year that began in Cincinnati and ended when the car they were chasing crashed into the outdoor patio of a Northern Kentucky restaurant, killing an elderly couple and severely injuring another couple.

The lawsuit says the Aug. 7, 2020 police chase was reckless and dangerous, with the offi cers “fl agrantly and knowingly” violating the department’s safety rules.

It also was unnecessary, according to the the lawsuit, because there was no reason to immediately arrest the target, Mason Meyer.

Killed in the crash were Raymond Laible, 81, and his wife, Gayle Laible, who was 80.

Steven and Maribeth Klein, who are described by their attorneys as a young couple with children, suff ered serious injuries.

Attorney Jacqueline Green, who is representing the Laibles’ family, said the pursuit “violated not only CPD policies but also common sense.”

“There was no need to apprehend Meyer on that day – CPD knew where he lived and where he frequented and had other options for when and how to take him into custody,” Green said in a statement. “The risk to the public posed by this pursuit was obvious from the start and became undeniable as the chase continued… It should have been called off long before the crash.”

The chase began across the river, in Sedamsville, where investigators were conducting surveillance as part of a gun-traffi cking case, court documents say.

Meyer, now 29, was seen showing what appeared to be guns inside a gun case to a group of people gathered across the street from a house on Steiner Avenue. It was a Friday afternoon.

Meyer eventually began to drive

away in a Ford Focus with two others inside, and investigators asked Cincinnati police to stop the car, court documents say. According to the lawsuit, Offi cer Timothy Lanter followed Meyer and activated his lights and sirens.

Meyer accelerated and fl ed.

Another offi cer, Brett Thomas, joined the pursuit, which the lawsuit says went through busy streets in East Price Hill, a highway, into The Banks, then across the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge into Covington. The lawsuit says Meyer almost collided with an SUV, sideswiped another car on the highway and nearly ran over a motorcyclist.

The offi cers, according to the lawsuit, drove at more than 100 mph, ran red lights, did not slow down or stop at intersections and drove the wrong way on one-way streets.

It says Sgt. Donald Scalf authorized the pursuit to continue into Kentucky.

In Newport, at the intersection of Fifth and Monmouth streets, the lawsuit says Meyer sped through a red light and drove on to the sidewalk, then crashed into the patio outside The Press on Monmouth restaurant.

The Laibles were dining on the patio, their attorneys said. The Kleins were walking on the sidewalk.

The Laibles’ daughter, Angela Endress, said in a statement: “Our family is heartbroken. We are shocked that the CPD allowed this chase to happen, and

One person being arrested after the fatal crash outside The Press on Monmouth in Newport on Aug. 7, 2020. BOBBY NIGHTENGALE/THE ENQUIRER

are horrifi ed that these offi cers are still on the streets. We don’t want any other family to experience a loss as we have.

The CPD has to make sure that its offi cers don’t needlessly cause the death of even one more person. We have seen Cincinnati police engage in too many reckless pursuits. We hope through this lawsuit to change that practice and make the city safer.”

The lawsuit says the offi cers failed to stop the pursuit despite the extreme risk to the public.

It says they violated Cincinnati Police Department policies and nationally recognized policing best practices.

Offi cer Lanter, according to the lawsuit, initiated a pursuit in 2011 that led to a bystander being killed.

He has been involved in at least fi ve other crashes while on duty, it says, including several where he was determined to be at fault. But the department handed down only minimal discipline, the lawsuit says.

A Cincinnati police spokeswoman referred requests for comment to the city manager’s offi ce. An offi cial there did not respond to a message seeking comment.

Meyer faces multiple state and federal charges. He is being held at the Campbell County Jail.

The lawsuit, which was fi led Wednesday in Campbell County Circuit Court, also names Meyer, the City of Cincinnati and the man who owned the car Meyer drove.

New Mercy McAuley president backs out days before she was set to start School appoints Denise Krueger as new leader Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Aug. 2. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates.

Jennifer Fellinger, Mercy McAuley High School’s newly appointed president, backed out of the job days before she was set to start, offi cials said.

In her place, the board announced the appointment of alumna Denise Krueger as president of Mercy McAuley, an all-girls Catholic school in College Hill.

Fellinger was named president by Mercy McAuley’s board of directors at the end of June, after a comprehensive

national search that began in January.

Her contract was to begin on Aug. 1, according to the school’s June announcement.

Fellinger, a 1992 Mercy McAuley alumna, announced at the time that she and her family would be moving to College Hill, about a mile from Mercy McAuley, to the house where she grew up.

But Fellinger says she and her family will now remain in Michigan due to “a signifi cant and diffi cult change in personal circumstances.”

“While we are devastated beyond words that we are unable to make the

move, we also believe in a God that works in mighty and mysterious ways.

As heartbroken as I am, I am also confi dent that the next President will be equally enthusiastic about Mercy McAuley’s future and its promise for continued growth,” Fellinger wrote in a statement.

Krueger, of Harrison, is a 1980 alumna of McAuley High School, according to Friday’s news release.

She has served in various roles within the school community, most recently as Mercy McAuley’s board chair since 2018.

“Mercy education is my heart, my soul, and my passion,” Krueger said in a news release. “I am truly blessed to have the honor of serving this incredible school community as President. I am excited to walk alongside our employees, students, parents, alumnae, benefactors and friends in taking Mercy McAuley High School to even greater heights. We have a very strong and bright future ahead at Mercy McAuley High School, and I look forward to car-

rying on our mission of providing young women with an outstanding Catholic, Mercy education.”

Krueger worked at Mount St. Joseph University as a professor of mathematics for the past 16 years. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Xavier University and her master’s and Ph.D. from Virginia Tech.

Fellinger was serving as vice president of public aff airs and marketing at Hope College in Holland, Michigan before she was appointed president of Mercy McAuley.

She has not released further details on her decision not to take on the role of Mercy McAuley president.

“My love for Mercy McAuley is as strong as ever, and I regret that I will miss the opportunity to lead such a strong, forward-thinking community of students, faculty, staff and alumnae.

I believe with all my heart that a Mercy McAuley education is unparalleled, and that this world needs Women of Mercy,” Fellinger wrote.

Cincinnati may off er new $1M violence prevention plan Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Aug. 2. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates.

After two children were shot outside a convenience store, East Westwood’s community council went to Cincinnati City Hall for help.

They pointed toward the basketball court they built and lunch programs they organized to help kids in the neighborhood stay on the right path. They said they could do more, but needed resources and funding.

A $1 million initiative proposed by

Cincinnati City Councilman Greg Landsman hopes to change that. If his plan is approved, expect to see more lighting, security cameras and property enforcement in neighborhoods that request that.

“Research shows that the most eff ective way to achieve long-lasting crime reduction is to follow the lead of the communities most impacted, as they have the most nuanced and genuine understanding of what is needed to create change,” a statement from Landsman’s offi ce said.

The money will go to re-establish the “safe and clean fund.” The fund was originally established in the wake of the 2001 civil unrest, but regular contributions to

the fund dwindled to nothing over the years.

Through an application process with the city administration, organizations like community councils will be able to get money for safety plans in their neighborhoods.

The city is also off ering training to the community leaders to better work with police and use crime data.

“These plans will all be diff erent, but they will have certain similarities,” Landsman said. “They will likely include requests for additional lighting, clean-up eff orts, security cameras, signage and tackling problem properties.”

His motion proposed that the city use $500,000 from this year’s carryover

budget, which gets allocated in the fall, to seed the fund. He hopes that creating a public-private partnership with local organizations and businesses will fi ll out the other half.

Landsman said he does not want elected offi cials to have any infl uence over how or where the money is spent but wants clear criteria and a fair application process managed by the city administration.

Landsman said the motion could be voted on at the next City Council meeting. If that vote is delayed, Landsman said he hopes enough of his fellow councilmembers will voice support for the plan so the city manager can start work on the logistics.

Whenever I mention sharing my “best of ” recipes – the seasonal ones that have become cult favorites – there are several that get requested this time of year.

Rated high on the list are zucchini bread recipes (after all, ’tis the season …). In particular double chocolate zucchini bread and classic zucchini bread.

So I’m sharing both for you.

The fi rst recipe is for “chocolate zucchini bread/cake.”

Maybe you’d like to make it and then let me know which camp you’re in.

The other is from Susan Zugohoer, a Northern Kentucky reader and an expert baker. Susan won a blue ribbon at the fair for this bread and kindly shared it to me a long while back.

Why squeeze moisture out?

Zucchini is notorious for a high moisture content which can make batter too moist/runny.

Don’t over mix quick bread batters.

Blend everything well but don’t go overboard.

You’ll wind up with a too dense loaf.

Freeze zucchini: Measure out more than you think you’ll need.

Some texture and volume are lost when thawed.

⁄ 2 teaspoon salt

Add flour mixture, mixing just until combined.

1 teaspoon cinnamon

'Fake Catholic' or devout Catholic? Why Biden's Cincinnati visit divided the faithful Dan Horn Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – July 29 (updated July 30). Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates.

In the 24 hours before President Joe Biden arrived in Cincinnati recently, he was rebuked by the Catholic archbishop, jeered by Catholic protesters, ignored by the Catholic nuns who run the university he visited and mocked as a phony by some Catholic activists.

It was quite the welcome for the second Catholic president in U.S. history.

Some saw the uproar over Biden’s visit to Mount St. Joseph University, a Catholic school in Delhi Township, as just another battle in the nation’s neverending culture wars. But Catholics saw something more.

The president’s short visit July 21 evening exposed how deep and wide the divide within the American church has become under a president who counts himself among the faithful.

For Catholics, whether they showed up to support or oppose Biden, what happened here recently wasn’t just about politics. It was personal. It was about how they defi ne themselves and their faith.

“It’s caused, obviously, a very public debate,” said Kenneth Craycraft, a Catholic scholar who teaches moral theology at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Cincinnati.

As is often the case when Catholicism intersects with politics, the biggest point of contention was abortion. Specifi cally, Biden’s support of abortion rights.

He’s not the fi rst president to stake out that ground, but he’s the fi rst Catholic president to do so. Biden’s only Catholic predecessor in the White House, John F. Kennedy, served a decade before the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion.

The politics of Kennedy’s day didn’t demand presidents take a public stand on abortion, but today's politics do. Biden has said for years that while he personally opposes abortion, he doesn't believe government should take away a woman's right to choose one. That view confl icts with church teachings, which regard abortion as an “intrinsic evil” that Catholics must reject.

Biden’s Catholicism raises the stakes.

Unlike other presidents who support abortion rights, Biden isn’t just accused

by Catholic anti-abortion activists of being wrong. He’s accused of being a bad Catholic.

That, in turn, creates a tension among Catholics that didn’t exist before his presidency. If Biden is a “fake Catholic” or a “so-called Catholic,” as some opponents labeled him, what of the millions of Catholics who voted for him?

Are those Catholics “fake” Catholics, too? Must they not only reject abortion in their own lives, as Biden says he does, but also actively work toward its abolition?

How Catholics answer those questions often depends more on their political affi liation than on their faith, Cray-

craft said. Too often, he said, Republicans defi ne their faith solely by the church’s opposition to abortion and gay marriage, while Democrats defi ne theirs solely by its support for immigrants, social justice and an end to the death penalty.

The church, which veers to the political right on some issues and to the left on others, teaches that all of them matter.

Under non-Catholic presidents, Catholics could disagree about which matter most without engaging in a more personal dispute over the nature of their faith. Under Biden, that’s harder to do.

Because he’s one of them, every action the president takes can be viewed by Catholics through the lens of both their politics and their faith. And how they respond to those actions often says as much about their own beliefs as it does about Biden’s.

“He’s kind of a Rorschach test for Catholics,” Craycraft said.

'You are Catholic fi rst' That was evident July 21 when Catholics jeered and cheered Biden as his motorcade made its way to Mount St. Joseph for a televised town hall event.

There were supporters, but the loudest voices were those in opposition.

First among them was Cincinnati Archbishop Dennis Schnurr. While he didn’t join the dozens of protesters who held anti-abortion signs and waved fl ags bearing former President Donald Trump’s name, Schnurr made it clear Biden wasn’t welcome.

In a statement, the archbishop said that if he’d been asked, he would not have granted his approval “for any such event to occur on Catholic premises.”

Others were more blunt. Hamilton County Auditor Dusty Rhodes, a conservative Catholic and social media fl amethrower, took to Twitter to describe Biden as a “fake Catholic” and Mount St. Joseph University as a “fake Catholic college.”

Biden’s supporters accused the pro-

testers of hypocrisy. They said those who backed Trump over Biden made a mockery of Catholic values by empowering a man who bragged about assaulting women, derided immigrants, spread lies about his election loss and faced impeachment for inciting an insurrection against American democracy.

As the debate raged on, the Sisters of Charity, who run Mount St. Joseph, issued a statement saying the invitation to Biden wasn’t their call. No one at the university has taken direct responsibility for the decision.

The drama was a microcosm of Catholic political activism today. Biden and Trump roughly split the Catholic vote in 2020, and the divide does not appear to have narrowed since Election Day. Some say having a Catholic in the White House makes those diff erences feel more urgent, and more acute.

“I’m not sure any Catholic politician’s approach perfectly lines up with every aspect of the Catholic tradition,” said Mary Novak, executive director of the Network Lobby for Catholic Social Justice, a Washington, D.C.-based group founded by Catholic nuns. “Because Biden is Catholic, that is much more a part of the conversation."

During Biden’s visit, that conversation often sounded like an argument.

Meg DeBlase and Tom Miele, for example, are both Catholics who spent July 21 on Cincinnati’s West Side, awaiting Biden’s arrival. The similarities pretty much ended there.

DeBlase, director of Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati, stood with protesters outside the university and complained that Biden was a “so-called Catholic” because of his stance on abortion. Miele, who cares deeply about the church’s social justice issues, sat on his couch in Covedale waiting to hear Biden speak on TV and wishing his fellow Catholics would treat the president better.

For DeBlase and like-minded Catholics, the most important issue always will be abortion, which they believe is a life-

and-death matter that overshadows all others.

DeBlase said it doesn’t matter that Biden attends services every Sunday or that he spoke often on the campaign trail about his faith. What matters, she said, is his failure to adhere to church doctrine on abortion.

“He doesn’t represent Catholics who are truly practicing their faith,” DeBlase said. “You have to defend God’s law. You are a Catholic before you are Speaker of the House. You are a Catholic before you are president of the United States.

“You are Catholic fi rst.”

Miele recently bristled when critics challenged Biden’s Catholic authenticity.

He sees that kind of talk as exclusionary and destructive, much like the discussions in June among U.S. bishops about whether Biden is fi t to receive Holy Communion.

“I think there’s a big division coming,” Miele said. “If the right wing of the church keeps pressing the issue, there won’t be much attractiveness to young people. What are they going to see in this religion?

“Is it caring for the poor and the hungry? Why aren’t they calling out that as a social evil?”

One issue above all others During their meeting in June, the U.S. bishops openly discussed their diff erences on how they should respond to Biden’s election and whether their fl ocks need additional guidance on the meaning of the Eucharist and Holy Communion.

Some also have pushed back against eff orts, including those by Pope Francis, to elevate the importance of other issues to that of abortion. In 2019, while amending their offi cial guidance to Catholic voters, the bishops decided against including language from the Pope that would have declared the lives of the poor, the destitute and the abandoned “equally sacred” to the lives of the unborn.

“Many bishops believe abortion is the pre-eminent issue,” said Kathleen Sprows Cummings, a historian who runs the University of Notre Dame’s Cushwa Center for the Study of American Catholicism. “Pope Francis has said otherwise.”

Schnurr, Cincinnati’s archbishop, did not respond to questions from The Enquirer seeking more details about his objection to Biden’s visit or whether he believes Biden is a Catholic in good standing. Other bishops, however, have been publicly critical of the president, including some who said little or nothing negative about Trump while he was in offi ce.

“A lot of the frustration about the treatment of Biden stems from the feeling that Donald Trump was given a free pass on Catholic issues,” Cummings said.

She said it would be helpful if Catholics, including Biden, would argue less about their diff erences and talk more about their common ground. She said they could, for example, work together on policies that would reduce the number of abortions.

Line between religious devotion, political loyalty not clear Your Turn Kenneth Craycraft Guest columnist

President Joe Biden’s town hall event at Mount St. Joseph University precipitated perennial questions about the relationship of religion and politics generally, and Catholic faith in the United States particularly.

The controversy surrounding the visit illustrates the tension that will always persist when religious believers either publicly express the practical implications of their faith in a pluralist society, or else seem to set that faith aside for the sake of political ambition. In either case, events like this highlight the confusion that often persists between religious devotion and political loyalty.

In his famous 1961 book, "We Hold These Truths," the late American priest and political theorist, Father John Courtney Murray, S.J., asked whether Christians should consider the two clauses of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution as "articles of faith" or "articles of peace." While Father Murray posed the issue in terms of the First Amendment, the thought experiment can be applied more broadly to

the kind of commitments that religious believers should (or can) give to the moral and political principles that inform American law and public policy.

The question is important, because each respective choice sets a person in one of two irreconcilable trajectories.

If American principles of individualism, pluralism and religious neutrality are "articles of faith," they are the doctrines that defi ne one’s moral and political commitment, subordinating claims of religious doctrine to themselves. This is the person who might claim to embrace certain moral doctrines in his personal life, but who says that she will not impose those personal beliefs through legislation or public policy. Her primary moral commitments are to the rights of individual private conscience, without recourse to particular religious doctrines that might inform them.

Because everyone has the same rights of conscience, these rights have priority over the doctrines of any particular religious tradition. Religious belief is qualifi ed by, and subordinated to, American pluralism. When religious doctrine meets American individualism, religion must yield.

If, on the other hand, American principles of pluralism and individual conscience are considered to be "articles of peace," one’s commitment to them is sincere, but qualifi ed.

This person recognizes that it is not practicable for every moral doctrine of a religious tradition to be implemented in a pluralist society, even though the best society would include them. But the presumption is that the best society will include legal and policy expression of those doctrines. The presumption might be overcome in some cases for the sake of public comity, but that should be the exception, not the rule. And the exception should not apply to principles of fundamental justice that, this person believes, can never be compromised. In this view of the relationship between religious faith and political identity, the latter is qualifi ed by, and subordinated to, the former. When political pluralism meets fundamental doctrine, pluralism must yield.

To be sure, the lines are often not clear. The respective holders of these distinctive postures toward American pluralist individualism are sometimes diffi cult to distinguish from one another. And it gets even murkier when (as very often happens) proponents of both these perspectives confuse political identifi cation with religious faith. When this happens, we think we are espousing teachings consistent with our religious faith, but in reality our moral convictions are more informed by partisan loyalty than religious doctrine. While there might be coincidental overlap, the

commitments that inform our proclivities have more to do with political party affi liation than church membership.

This is a bipartisan issue. We see the tendency across the political spectrum, even though the particular moral positions vary widely. For example, if a person is strongly committed to protecting unborn children from abortion but indiff erent to the plight of immigrants or racial injustice, are her positions informed by the Christian commitment to life or Republican Party politics? Or if a person strongly supports a generous immigration policy and opposes capital punishment, but supports abortion "rights," are his inclinations informed by the Christian commitment to the poor and downtrodden or Democratic Party politics?

The test is easy to administer, but the results may make us uncomfortable. If all my moral commitments are exactly the same as the policy positions of my political party, then my moral life is not formed by Catholic doctrine, but rather by party platform. We saw examples of this inside and outside the auditorium at Mount St. Joseph’s University, and on both sides of the proverbial aisle.

NASA Nutrient Delivers 5,000 Times More Energy Than CoQ10 Pictured is the life cycle of a spotted lanternfly and how they look at each stage.

PENN STATE EXTENSION

Invasive spotted lanternfl y found in Greater Cincinnati Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The invasive, destructive spotted lanternfl y has been spotted in Greater Cincinnati.

The species was recently found in Indiana for the fi rst time, Indiana Department of Natural Resources offi cials said.

The infestation was found in Switzerland County, within two miles of the Ohio River and the Markland Dam. Offi cials said this is the farthest west the insect has been found.

A homeowner in Vevay spotted the insect in the larvae stage and contacted the Department of Natural Resources.

An investigation found an infestation in a woodlot adjacent to a few homes in the area, Indiana DNR offi cials said.

Lanternfl ies are native to Asia and were fi rst discovered in the United States in Pennsylvania in 2014. They are known for being hitchhikers.

The insects are known to feed on almonds, apples, blueberries, cherries, peaches, grapes and hops as well as

hardwoods such as oak, walnut and poplar, among others, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Offi cials believe that the bug will thrive in Ohio, according to the Columbus Dispatch.

The adults are easy to spot.

Adult spotted lanternfl y has two sets of wings, and the underwing has a red color with spots on the outer wings. The fourth instar of the insect is bright red with black and white markings, Indiana DNR offi cials said.

Citizens should keep an eye out for spotted lanternfl ies and report it to their state’s department of natural resources.

It’s a game changer for this Medical Doctor.

His patients report, “I’m 70 but feel 40 again”... and “My endurance has almost doubled.”

Millions of Americans take the supplement CoQ10. It’s the “jet fuel” that supercharges your cells’ power generators, known as mitochondria.

As you age, your mitochondria begin to die. In fact, by age 67, you lose 80% of the mitochondria you had at age 25. But if you’re taking CoQ10, there’s something important you should know.

As powerful as CoQ10 is, there is a critical thing it fails to do. It can’t create new mitochondria in your cells.

NASA-discovered nutrient is stunning the medical world by activating more youthful energy, vitality and health than CoQ10.

Taking CoQ10 is not enough “There’s a little-known NASA nutrient that multiplies the number of new power generators in your cells by up to 55%,” says Dr. Al Sears, owner of the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine in Royal Palm Beach, Florida. “Science once thought this was impossible. But now you can make your heart, brain and body young again.”

“I tell my patients the most important thing I can do is increase their ‘health span.’ This is the length of time you can live free of disease and with all your youthful abilities and faculties intact.”

Medical first: Multiply the “power generators” in your cells Al Sears, M.D., recently released an energy-boosting supplement based on this NASA nutrient that has become so popular, he’s having trouble keeping it in stock.

Dr. Sears is the author of over 500 scientific papers on anti-aging and recently spoke at the WPBF 25 Health & Wellness Festival featuring Dr. Oz and special guest Suzanne Somers.

Thousands of people listened to Dr. Sears speak on his anti-aging breakthroughs and attended his book signing at the event.

Now, Dr. Sears has come up with what his peers consider his greatest contribution to anti-aging medicine yet — a newly discovered nutrient that multiplies the number of tiny, energyproducing “engines” located inside the body’s cells, shattering the limitations of traditional CoQ10 supplements.

A single cell in your body can contain between 200 to 2,000 mitochondria, with the largest number found in the most metabolically active cells, like those in your brain, heart and skeletal muscles.

But because of changes in cells, stress and poor diet, most people’s power generators begin to malfunction and die off as they age. In fact, the Mitochondria Research Society reports 50 million U.S. adults are suffering from health problems because of mitochondrial dysfunction.

Common ailments often associated with aging — such as memory problems, heart issues, blood sugar concerns and vision and hearing difficulties — can all be connected to a decrease in mitochondria.

Birth of new mitochondria

With promise of sex, teen lured man into fatal robbery, documents say Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A 16-year-old girl and a 19-year-old man lured a man with the promise of sex into a robbery that turned fatal, court documents state.

Luke Macke, 23, was gunned down on June 24, police said. Christian Henderson and a 16-year-old female accomplice have been charged with aggravated murder and aggravated robbery in his death.

According to documents obtained from Hamilton County Juvenile Court, the teens lured Macke to arrange the meeting..

Once on June 20, Macke was able to fi ght off the teens with a help of other people, but on June 24, he was fatally shot in Westwood, the documents state.

Nothing in the documents state Macke desired to have sex with an underage girl.

Police and prosecutors are not off ering any additional information about how the diff erent situations took place.

It is still unclear if Macke knew Henderson or the girl prior to the robberies.

The 16-year-old girl is being held in juvenile detention.

Henderson is being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center on a $750,000 bond.

Dr. Sears and his researchers combined the most powerful form of CoQ10 available — called ubiquinol — with a unique, newly discovered natural compound called PQQ that has the remarkable ability to grow new mitochondria. Together, the two powerhouses are now available in a supplement called Ultra Accel II. Discovered by a NASA probe in space dust, PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline quinone) stimulates something called “mitochondrial biogenesis” — a unique process that actually boosts the number of healthy mitochondria in your cells.

In a study published in the Journal of Nutrition Biochemical Pharmacology, mice fed PQQ grew a staggering number of new mitochondria, showing an increase of more than 55% in just eight weeks.

The mice with the strongest mitochondria showed no signs of aging — even when they were the equivalent of 80 years old.

Science stands behind the power of PQQ Journal of Nutrition Biochemical Pharmacology reports that PQQ is up to 5,000 times more efficient in sustaining energy production than common antioxidants.

“Imagine 5,000 times more efficient energy,” says Dr. Sears. “PQQ has been a game changer for my patients.”

“With the PQQ in Ultra Accel, I have energy I never thought possible,” says Colleen R., one of Dr. Sears’ patients. “I am in my 70s but feel 40 again. I think clearer, move with real energy and sleep like a baby.”

It works right away Along with an abundance of newfound energy, users also report a sharper, more focused mind and memory, and even younger-looking skin and hair. Jerry M. from Wellington, Florida, used Ultra Accel and was amazed at the effect.

“I noticed a difference within a few days,” says Jerry. “My endurance almost doubled. But it’s not just in your body.

You can feel it mentally, too,” says Jerry.

“Not only do I feel a difference, but the way it protects my cells is great insurance against a health disaster as I get older.”

Increase your health span today The demand for this supplement is so high, Dr. Sears is having trouble keeping it in stock. “My patients tell me they feel better than they have in years. This is ideal for people who are feeling or looking older than their age… or for those who are tired or growing more forgetful.”

“My favorite part of practicing antiaging medicine is watching my patients get the joy back in their lives. Ultra Accel sends a wake-up call to every cell in their bodies… and they actually feel young again.”

Where to find Ultra Accel II Right now, the only way to get this potent combination of PQQ and superpowered CoQ10 is with Dr. Sears’ breakthrough Ultra Accel II formula.

To secure bottles of this hot, new supplement, buyers should contact the Sears Health Hotline at 1-800-589-5504 within the next 48 hours. “It takes time to get bottles shipped out to drug stores,” said Dr. Sears. “The Hotline allows us to ship the product directly to the customer.”

Dr. Sears feels so strongly about this product, he offers a 100%, money-back guarantee on every order. “Just send me back the bottle and any unused product within 90 days, and I’ll send you your money back,” said Dr. Sears.

The Hotline will be taking orders for the next 48 hours. After that, the phone number will be shut down to allow them to restock.

SPORTS Cincinnati’s unheralded players in Negro League baseball Jeff Suess Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Last December, Major League Baseball bestowed major league status to the Negro Leagues from 1920 to 1948, which means the statistics will be added to the offi cial game records. The diffi culty is that many of the games were poorly covered in the media, if at all. A box score is required for a game’s statistics to be included. Still, the record books are catching up to history.

Black baseball goes back to the 1860s, when ball clubs were cropping up in towns all across the nation. Though, with few exceptions, there were white teams and Black teams. In 1887, white owners made a “gentleman’s agreement” to keep the athletes segregated. It was an unwritten rule that didn’t need to be written; it was just accepted.

Crossing the ‘color line’ Cincinnati ballplayer Charlie Grant nearly broke the “color line” in 1901.

Crafty baseball manager John McGraw was starting a new Baltimore Orioles team for the American League.

He went to recruit players down in Hot Springs, Arkansas, a popular off -season baseball training site, and saw Grant play.

McGraw cooked up a plan to pass Grant off as a full-blooded Cherokee named Charlie Tokohama as a way to overstep the “gentleman’s agreement.”

But McGraw’s nemesis, Chicago White Sox owner Charles Comiskey, recognized Grant from the Negro leagues and blew the whistle before he could play a game.

“Somebody said this Cherokee of McGraw’s is really Grant, the crack negro second baseman, fi xed up with war paint and a bunch of feathers,” Comiskey said in a special dispatch to The Enquirer.

Grant played for several Black teams, including the Cuban X-Giants, Philadelphia Giants and Cincinnati Stars (19141916), but never in the majors.

Cuban stars Reds business manager Frank Bancroft made some of the fi rst overtures to other leagues. In 1895, he scheduled the Reds to play exhibition games against the Page Fence Giants, an all-Black barnstorming team out of Adrian, Michigan.

The Reds won both games, 11-7 and 16-2.

He also took the Reds on barnstorming trips to Cuba.

“Bancroft was quite the pivotal link between Cuban and organized baseball dating back to 1879 when he took the fi rst professional team of North American players to Cuba,” said researcher Adrian Burgos.

José Méndez pitched 25 consecutive scoreless innings against the Reds in Cuba in November 1908, including a one-

Armando Marsans was the Reds right fi elder on Opening Day, 1912. He was one of the fi rst Cuban natives to play in the major leagues, and was a bona fi de star. He had played in front for big crowd but none as big as the 26,336 that jammed into Redland Field (later Crosley Field) for its grand opening on April 11, 1912. ENQUIRER FILE

hitter. A legend in his homeland, he played for the Kansas City Monarchs in the Negro leagues and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006.

Two lighter skinned Cubans, Armando Marsans and Rafael Almeida, were signed by the Reds in 1911.

“The majority of the native players

were colored men like Mendez and his crack catcher Gonzales. These players had no chance to break into organized baseball, as it is played in this country, and as Almeida and Marsans have done, being barred by their color,” Enquirer sports editor Jack Ryder wrote in 1912.

Both had played on the All Cubans team in the Negro league in 1905. Almeida played for the Reds until 1913. Marsans played for the Reds, St. Louis Browns and New York Yankees through 1918.

Moving on with The Enquirer's series of the area's best 10 positional players, it's time to run down Greater Cincinnati's top running backs heading into the 2021 prep football season.

Deondre Bothast-Revalee, Talawanda (Sr.) Bothast-Revalee is still searching for his fi rst 1,000-yard season after coming close the past two years. With a normal schedule last fall, he would have certainly passed the plateau. He averaged 118.6 yards per game in eight contests in 2020, fi nishing with 949 yards and nine touchdowns. He also caught fi ve passes for 47 yards and a score.

Bothast-Revalee had fi ve 100-plus yard performances and had at least one rushing touchdown in every game last season. Talawanda went 3-5 but did win

a playoff game over Belmont when Bothast-Revalee ran for 189 yards and fi ve touchdowns.

He was named fi rst-team Southwest Ohio Conference and honorable mention all-district.

Colerain averaged 220.2 rushing yards per game last season with Flowers leading the charge. The junior ran for 865 yards and a Greater Miami Conference-best 14 touchdowns. Flowers totaled 5.7 yards per tote and nearly 100 yards per game, helping steer the Cardinals to a 6-3 record and a trip to the regional semifi nals.

Flowers was at his best in the postseason. In playoff victories over Milford and Mason, he ran for a combined 252 yards and seven touchdowns on 42 carries. He was named fi rst-team GMC and honorable mention all-district.

C.J. Hester, Wyoming (Jr.) After bursting on the scene in the back half of his freshman season in 2019, Hester became a bell-cow running back for Aaron Hancock's Cowboys last fall. The sophomore led the Cincinnati Hills League in rushing yards (1,121) and

touchdowns (17), helping lead Wyoming to a share of the league title, a regional championship and a return to the state Final Four. Hester also snagged 11 passes for 123 yards and three scores.

Hester ran for a career-high 200 yards and three touchdowns in a 35-7 win over Deer Park. In a fi rst-round playoff win over Graham, the junior ran for 196 yards and three scores. Against Clinton-Massie in the regional championship game, Hester paced the Cowboys with 176 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries and caught an additional score. He was named fi rst-team All-Ohio.

Kaleb Johnson, Hamilton (Sr.) Johnson shared a backfi eld last season with Keyshawn Stephens, who led the GMC in rushing and was fi rst-team All-Ohio, but still fi nished with 786 yards (fi fth GMC) on the ground and See RBS, Page 2B

Former UC football standout named new AD at DePaul Cristo Rey Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Torry Cornett has been named the next athletic director at DePaul Cristo Rey High School, per a press release.

Cornett replaces Lynne Morris, who recently retired after nine years.

He began his new position in July overseeing all aspects of the athletic program. DePaul Cristo Rey off ers competitive teams in six sports for its student-athletes.

Cornett, a Columbus native, excelled as a student-athlete in both football and basketball at Independence High School before attending Prairie Cornett View A&M University. He then headed to Clifton, where he spent three seasons as a linebacker for the UC Bearcats, starting in the 2006 International Bowl, the 2007 Papa John's Bowl and the 2009 FedEx Orange Bowl.

After graduating from UC, he spent two seasons in the German Football League.

Cornett began his coaching career at the University of Rio Grande (Ohio) as an assistant for the men’s basketball program.

He then joined the staff at Mount St. Joseph University as an academic advisor and adjunct instructor.

In 2017, he was hired as the associate director for Student Athlete Support Services at UC.

He later served as the athletics director and a physical education teacher at the Cincinnati Achievement Academy.

“I am honored to serve the DPCR Athletics Department,” Cornett said in the press release. “I stand on the shoulders of all the administrators, coaches, student-athletes and staff who have laid the groundwork before me. I look forward to the remarkable relationships that will be established and the opportunity to serve.”

league collapsed after a week. The Browns continued to play for a time, but there was little news coverage and no records available.

Black baseball pioneer Bud Fowler led the Cincinnati Black Tourists in 1905.

Fowler was the fi rst African-American to play organized ball in 1878.

For the 1921 season, the Cuban Stars of the Negro National League leased the Reds’ ballpark, Redland Field (later Crosley Field). In one game, opposing hitter John Beckwith of the Chicago Giants hit the fi rst home run over the fence in the park’s nine-year history.

The Negro American League, formed in 1937, briefl y had three Cincinnati teams: The Cincinnati Tigers in 1937; Buckeyes Baseball Club in 1942, splitting games at Crosley Field and in Cleveland; and the Cincinnati Clowns from 19431945, which became the Indianapolis Clowns in 1946 and signed Hank Aaron in 1952.

The Cincinnati Crescents, an all-Black barnstorming team founded by Harlem Globetrotters promoter Abe Saperstein, toured in 1946, powered by rookie Luscious “Luke” Easter, who later played for the Cleveland Indians.

Cincinnati Tigers Cincinnati’s Black athletes were best represented by the Tigers, organized as an independent club by DeHart Hubbard in 1934. Hubbard was the fi rst Black athlete to win an Olympic gold medal, for the long jump in the 1924 games in Paris. He had an eye for baseball talent and led the top-notch local amateur team, Excelsior.

The core of that team became the Tigers, funded by businessman Henry Ferguson, who published the Black newspaper, the Mirror.

The Tigers joined the Negro American League in 1937 under manager Ted “Double Duty” Radcliff e. Sportswriter Damon Runyan had given him the nickname after seeing him catch the fi rst game of a doubleheader, then pitch a shutout in the second. After one season, the Tigers were sold and became the Memphis Red Sox. The star was Neil Robinson, regarded as one of the best left fi elders in the Negro Leagues.

“Neil Robinson is one of those unheralded players who never got the recognition he deserved: he just played hard and played well…,” Hall of Famer Monte Irvin wrote. “He wasn’t fl ashy, and he didn’t

eight touchdowns.

Johnson had a 115-yard, two-touchdown outing in a win over Oak Hills early in the season. Later on, he ran for 253 yards and two touchdowns in a 39-7 victory over Sycamore. In the season fi nale against West Clermont, he ran just six times, but had 139 yards and two scores in a 41-7 Big Blue victory. Johnson was fi rst-team GMC and honorable mention all-district.

Jayden Lawson, Simon Kenton (Jr.) In his fi rst season as a starter, he ran for 906 yards and nine touchdowns, which included 103 in a big win over Highlands and a career-high 180 against Dixie Heights.

Braxten Newborn, Ludlow (Sr.) The 6-foot, 190-pound running back is one of the top returning rushers in the state in yardage and touchdowns. He rushed for 1,827 yards and 26 touchdowns in 10 games for the Panthers and

have the reputation that some of the better-known players like Josh Gibson, Cool Papa Bell, Buck Leonard and a lot of others had, so he was bypassed when it came to the Hall of Fame.”

Tigers pitcher Porter Moss was a strike-out artist and as brash as Satchel Paige. “When other teams came to town, Porter would go over to their hotel and tell them what he was gonna do to them the next day when he was pitching,” recalled teammate Marlin Carter. “They say it ain’t

bragging if you can do it. Well, he wasn’t bragging.”

Moss was shot on a train by a belligerent passenger in 1944, and the doctor at the next stop refused to treat him because he was Black. He lost too much blood by the time he made it to the hospital and died.

Jackie Robinson broke the color line three years later. The game integrated slowly. A few of the biggest names among Black players trickled into the big leagues.

Chuck Harmon played for the Reds in 1954. The Negro American League faded away in 1963, and Black ballplayers had fewer options to play.

One could consider the Falcons' backfi eld as a tandem to watch this fall.

Senior Carter Frank ran for 563 yards and 13 touchdowns last season and averaged 10.4 yards-per-carry in fi ve games. Senior Colton Trampler, a second-team All-Ohio selection as a linebacker, ran for 648 yards and four scores.

Gi'Bran Payne, La Salle (Sr.)

TyRek Spikes, Winton Woods (Sr.)

Payne is one of the most highly touted recruits in Greater Cincinnati. He is a four-star running back from 247Sports and is ranked the No. 7 recruit in Ohio and the No. 14 running back in the nation for the Class of 2022.

Payne was limited in 2020 due to an ankle injury and had just 43 carries over seven games. He opened the season with a four-touchdown performance in a 53-52 win over Elder. Payne helped lead the Lancers to a Division II state championship in 2019 and is a two-time second-team Greater Catholic LeagueSouth selection. He holds nearly 20 Division I off ers, including Alabama, Florida, Northwestern, Cincinnati, Michigan and Notre Dame.

Spikes became the starter after Miyan Williams left for Ohio State University and was stellar in the Winton Woods backfi eld. As a junior last season, he ran for 983 yards (third in the Eastern Cincinnati Conference) and 13 touchdowns, averaging just under 100 yards-per-game and 7.5 yards-per-carry. He also caught a dozen passes for 97 yards, helping steer the Warriors to the regional fi nals.

Spikes started the 2020 season with 193 yards in 25 carries over the fi rst three games. He proceeded to run for 100-plus yards in four of the next fi ve games (he had 99 vs. Turpin) and 10 touchdowns.

Spikes ran for three touchdowns in wins over Milford and Xenia. He was named second-team all-district.

Beech Acres celebrates Kinship care providers with movie day Beech Acres Parenting Center gave appreciation for families in its Kinship Connections program with a special day at the movies at the Milford Rave Cinema, with about 20 families attending a celebration and private screening of “Space Jam: A New Legacy” on July 29.

Kinship care describes a situation in which loved ones welcome a grandchild, niece, nephew or other relative to live full time in their home when children are unable to live with their parents. Kinship care is the most desirable living arrangement for children in these situations.

“Kinship care is often an excellent solution for children in the foster care system because family providers are more aware of the individual circumstances in a child’s life,” said Rická Berry, vice president of child welfare for Beech Acres Parenting Center. “Kinship providers are amazing, loving people and we are thrilled to say thank you to them and the children in their care with this fun day at the movies.”

Theresa Outlaw, from West Price Hill, is a kinship caregiver who joined Beech Acres for the movie screening. She has received support from Beech Acres for three years and is y caring for six children – nieces, nephews and grandchildren – between 2 and 16 years old.

“I may not be a wealthy person, but my kids will never know that for all the love and support I give them,” Theresa said.

Through its Kinship Connections program, Beech Acres provides extensive support for kinship care providers.

Beech Acres off ers education about resources available such as fi nancial, health care and food assistance.

Kinship care providers can access help in becoming licensed foster parents.

Beech Acres also opens doors to a network of peers for camaraderie and emotional support. Kinship care providers can also take advantage of Triple P – the Positive Parenting Program, which is designed to prevent and treat behavioral and emotional problems in children before they arise.

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

ANSWERS ON PAGE 7B

No. 0808 OFF BRAND

1

BY MATTHEW STOCK / EDITED BY WILL SHORTZ Matthew Stock, who turns 25 this month, works for a math-education nonprofit in East St. Louis, Ill. The idea for this puzzle came about in January, when he was on a long road trip and passed a Honda Odyssey. He reinterpreted the name as ‘‘Honda odyssey’’ (small ‘‘o’’), which aptly described what he was on. That bit of wordplay didn’t make it into this puzzle, but similar ones with other brand names did.

This is Matthew’s sixth Times crossword, and his second Sunday. — W.S.

Cincinnati ranked No. 1 city to live in Ohio Jamie Clarkson Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

U.S. News & World Report ranked Cincinnati as the No. 1 city to live in Ohio for 2021-22 – but the accolades don’t stop there. Out of 150 cities across the country, it ranked Cincinnati as: h No. 13 on list of most aff ordable places to live in the U.S. h No. 44 in best places to live. h No. 82 in best places to retire.

So, what is there to

love? The scorecard factored in desirability, value, job market, quality of life and net migration.

Jessica Esemplare, the project’s Cincinnati expert and writer, broke down all the things that make this city so livable.

“Cincinnati is hardly a place that’s all work and no play,” she writes. “Locals love a good party, be it for the fi rst day of baseball season or in honor of the city’s German heritage. Even when the event calendar is empty, residents have plenty of ways to stay busy, from

visiting an array of museums to noshing on the region’s famous chili.”

Here are takeaways: So much to do: Museums, professional sports, eateries and chili ... where do you begin?

The city gets points for being family-friendly with spots like the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, Cincinnati Museum Center and Newport Aquarium.

“Cincinnatians are also loyal to their football and baseball teams, the Bengals and the Reds, respectively, and there’s a

friendly rivalry between teams at Xavier University and the University of Cincinnati,” Esemplare writes. The ranking also touted the city for its bountiful entertainment, citing Riverbend Music Center and Music Hall, as well as its dedication to the German heritage.

Cost of living: Esemplare writes: “Cincinnati is relatively aff ordable compared with other large metro areas, especially those on the coasts.

Cincinnati’s home prices are some of the highest in Ohio, though they are

lower than the national average. Everyday expenses, such as groceries and transportation, also are lower here than the national average.”

Ready to learn: Esemplare also noted that families are drawn to Cincinnati for its “excellent” public and private education. U.S. News and World Report notes that 66 Cincinnati-area schools are listed in its top high school rankings, including Walnut Hills, Wyoming and Madeira.

And according to its number-crunching, Cin-

cinnati high schoolers have a higher college readiness score than others in similarly sized cities.

Let’s go to work: U.S. News and World Report’s research shows that the job market in Cincinnati is healthier than other similar-sized cities. Fortune 500 companies in the area like Kroger and Procter & Gamble often steal the show. But Esemplare bragged on the more than 40 branch library system as an employer for clerical, technical and service positions.
