Here’s what you should know about Hamilton County sheriff ’s race Scott Wartman | Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

There will be a new sheriff in town after November. Democrat Charmaine McGuff ey defeated current sheriff Jim Neil in the primary. Neil, a conservative Democrat, crossed party lines and has endorsed the Republican, Bruce Hoff bauer. h It’s one of the most contentious and closely watched local races and will test how far left politically Hamilton County has drifted after strong showings by the Democrats in 2016 and 2018. h Here’s a look at the race for Hamilton County Sheriff : Who are the candidates? Republican: Bruce Hoff bauer, 56. He grew up in Delhi, the son of a Hamilton County sheriff ’s deputy. He graduated Elder High School and joined the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s offi ce in 1985. A year later he joined the Cincinnati Police Department. He served in a variety of patrol and investigative roles until March 2020 when he retired as the District 3 relief commander. He lives in Green Township with his wife, Patty Hoff bauer. Favorite movie: “Patton” Favorite book: “Killing Kennedy” and “Killing Lincoln,” both by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard. Favorite musical act: Frank Sinatra Democrat: Charmaine McGuff ey, 62. McGuff ey grew up in East Price Hill, graduated from Western Hills High School and joined the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s offi ce in 1983. She worked her way up the ranks from sergeant to lieutenant to major in 2013 when she was put in charge of the Hamilton County jail. She worked at the sheriff ’s

department until 2017. She lives Downtown with her wife, Christine Sandusky. Favorite movie: “The Client” Favorite book: “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee Favorite musical act: Adele

What does the sheriff do? The sheriff oversees the county jail, courthouse security and the hundreds of sheriff ’s deputies that patrol throughout the county. It is by far the largest department in county government, with more than 800 employees and annual budget over $80 million. That’s one-third of the county’s budget. See SHERIFF, Page 3A

Sentencing set for former Councilwoman Dennard Sharon Coolidge and Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Former Cincinnati City Councilwoman Tamaya Dennard who was convicted in federal court on a charge of honest services wire fraud in June is set to be sentenced Nov. 10, court records show. Dennard, 41, has pleaded guilty to accepting $15,000 as part of a scheme to exchange her votes for money. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. But both sides have agreed that Dennard’s sentence will likely fall between 2 and 21⁄ 2 years in prison. U.S. District Court Judge Susan Dlott will make the fi nal decision. Sentencing had been left open ended

at the time of the plea, but is now scheduled. After the June plea hearing, Dennard’s attorney, Marty Pinales, declined comment. “We will be making a full statement at a later point,” Pinales said. “The facts will come out.” Dennard admitted she obtained approximately $15,000 in connection with a scheme that lasted between August and December 2019. She will have to repay the money, according to the plea agreement. Dennard also had been facing charges of bribery and attempted extortion. Those charges were dropped as part of the plea. After her arrest in February, Dennard resigned from Cincinnati City Council.

A Marine from Cincinnati who died during the Battle of Tarawa was accounted for in July, nearly 77 years after he was killed, according to the U.S. Department of Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA). Marine Corps Reserve Pfc. Frank L. Athon, Jr. will come home to the continental United States where he’ll be buried this November, the release states. Athon was a member of Company A, 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, Fleet Marine Force, which arrived at the island of Betio in the Tarawa Atoll of the Gilbert Islands in November of 1943 during World War II, the release states. Their mission was to secure the island. Approximately 1,000 Marines and sailors were killed during the battle, and more than 2,000 others were wounded. The Battle of Tarawa was over in four days and marked an early American victory in the U.S.’s Central Pacifi c Campaign against Japan. Athon died on the third day of battle, according to the release, on Nov. 22, 1943. He was 29. The Enquirer announced Athon’s death on Christmas Eve in 1943. The article noted Athon was survived by his wife Marcella Athon in East Price Hill. His parents lived in Over-theRhine. Athon’s family published notes memorializing him in The Cincinnati Enquirer in the years following his death. He was known as “Bud,” the family wrote. During the week of his one year death anniversary, Athon’s sisters published the following note in The Enquirer: We often think we see your smiling face As you bade your last good-by – And left our home forever, In a distant land to die!

Frank L. Athon, Jr., was killed during World War II at age 29. He was accounted for on July 27. PROVIDED/U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Always Loved and Remembered by Your Two Sisters, Helen and Mary Offi cials said Athon was buried in Row D of the East Division Cemetery. That burial site was later renamed Cemetery 33. But when the 604th Quartermaster Graves Registration Company centralized American remains found on Tarawa for repatriation, nearly half of the known casualties were never found. The release states Athon, alongside others whose remains could not be located, was declared “non-recoverable” in October of 1949. Sixty years later, a nonprofi t organization entitled History Flight, Inc., discovered a burial site on Betio Island believed to be Cemetery 33. The site has undergone numerous excavations since 2009, and last March excavations west of Cemetery 33 revealed a forgotten burial site now identifi ed as Row D, according to the release. Remains recovered at Row D were transferred to a DPAA Laboratory in Hawaii. There, scientists were able to

identify Athon’s remains through dental and anthropological analysis, as well as circumstantial and material evidence. Athon was memorialized in the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacifi c, according to the U.S. Department of Defense. A rosette will now be placed next to his name to indicate he has been accounted for. Offi cials said Athon will be buried in his hometown of Cincinnati on Nov. 21. The following excerpts are some of the messages Athon’s family published in previous issues of The Cincinnati Enquirer. A birthday remembrance published June 11, 1944: He is not really lost to us Though he has passed away, In memory that never fades He’ll live for us each day, And in the knowledge that he went Bravely without regret; We’ll know he went to God content To do the task he meant. His spirit will live on with those Who fought for liberty, And he will be forever young Who died to keep men free. A birthday remembrance published June 10, 1945: Loving and kind in all his ways, Upright and just to the end of his days; Sincere and true in heart and mind, Beautiful memories he left behind. An “In Loving Memory” message published Nov. 24, 1946: November brings sad memories, Three years have gone, my precious son, Since God called you away. Killed in action came the message That came crashing into my life– Meaning you had met the challenge, Had made the supreme sacrifi ce. You were one of the heroes as brave and true, Who gave up your life for the red, white and blue.

What police reforms do they support?

Continued from Page 1A

What does it pay? Annual salary is $121,295

What are the controversies in this race? McGuff ey’s 2017 fi ring: McGuff ey was fi red by Sheriff Jim Neil in 2017 following the internal investigation into complaints McGuff ey created a hostile work environment. McGuff ey was offered a civilian position with the sheriff ’s offi ce but refused. McGuff ey sued the sheriff ’s department saying top offi cials retaliated against her for raising concerns about use of force. She also said some within the department did not like that she is an openly gay woman. That lawsuit is set to go to trial in Dec. 7. A federal judge in July allowed the lawsuit to move forward and found “obvious diff erences” in how the sheriff ’s department handled McGuff ey’s investigation compared to other internal investigations. “I was not fi red for just cause,” McGuffey said. “I have a federal lawsuit to prove it. I recently won the summary judgment so that we will move to trial, so that the facts will come out about me being a whistleblower. That I called out wrong behavior.” Hoff bauer’s 1990 shooting: Hoff bauer’s candidacy has brought renewed scrutiny to a fatal shooting in 1990 involving Hoff bauer. Hoff bauer shot and killed Walter E. Brown, a 34-year-old Black man, after Brown charged at Hoff bauer in the hallway of a Corryville apartment. Then-Hamilton County Prosecutor Arthur Ney ruled that Hoff bauer and his partner “were justifi ed in the use of deadly force against Mr. Brown.” But controversy erupted in March 1991, after City Manager Gerald Newfarmer found that Hoff bauer had used excessive force, although he didn’t violate the law. Brown, who had a history of drug and alcohol abuse, had self-infl icted cuts to his forearms. Investigators found an apparent suicide note written to his mother inside his apartment. One witness heard Brown tell Hoff bauer and his partner, Jim Zie-

verink, “Go ahead and shoot me – I want to die.” Other witnesses heard similar statements. “I was cleared of any wrongdoing,” Hoff bauer said. “There are some people who will never, no matter what, agree with that. That’s their right and feeling. When you review the facts and review the case, it was a classic textbook, at the time suicide-by-cop is what they called it. It’s something I’ve carried with me my whole life, but I think I’ve handled it well.”

Where do they stand on the issues? Should Hamilton County build a new jail? Hamilton County’s jail was built in the 1980s to house 840 inmates but regularly has a jail population that exceeds 1,400 on any given day, though that number has been reduced during the pandemic. McGuff ey opposes building a new jail. “The public doesn’t want it,” McGuff ey said. “The taxpayers don’t want to put more money in incarceration that’s never-ending. What I think the public wants is to move people out of our facility. To incarcerate as few people as possible.” Hoff bauer wouldn’t take a clear position on the need for a new jail, saying it’s up to the county commissioners. “I don’t know if the citizens of Hamilton County are ready to pony up and pay for a new jail,” Hoff bauer said. “I think the jail that’s there does an adequate job.” When pressed on whether he would recommend a new jail to the commissioners, Hoff bauer said he’d support it

Both opposed slashing funding for police and opposed the proposed charter amendment pushed by the group People’s Safety Reimagined that would have reorganized the Cincinnati Police Department and cut police funding. McGuff ey said she does not support moving money away from law enforcement to social services but does support increasing training between social services and the sheriff ’s deputies. She also wants to create a volunteer independent citizens review board for the sheriff ’s offi ce that would take complaints from the public, similar to the Citizen Complaint Authority established in 2002 for the Cincinnati Police Department. She said she would create a “liaison unit” that would be dedicated to taking non-emergency calls from the public. “There are so many people if their son gets incarcerated for some reason, the parents may need to know information,” McGuff ey said. “Not everyone has access to a computer. Not everyone can look it up online. There should be a line that gets answered by a real person who can walk you through some of the basic things you need to do to advocate for a person who has now been incarcerated.” McGuff ey said she wouldn’t hire deputies to staff the liaison unit. She would move personnel around to fi ll it. Hoff bauer said rather than cutting police budgets, more should be invested in the police. He wouldn’t say whether he’ll lobby county commissioners for more money and how much is needed. “It would be only fair for me to get there and see,” Hoff bauer said. “Would I ask for a little more, a lot more, or say I can do more with less? Let me get there and see. That would be an option. I don’t like to say the word ‘never.’” So what would he change? Hoff bauer talked about working more with social service agencies and recruiting a more diverse workforce. But he wasn’t specifi c on how he would accomplish this. “When I’m sheriff , I would see where the agency falls short and build on that,” Hoff bauer said. “There are some people who have skills before they ever came into law enforcement. So if it was working with children, working with the homeless, working with drug addiction. If it was someone that had a background

Ban on no-knock warrants? Both Hoff bauer and McGuff ey were cautious on this issue, saying no-knock warrants should be used sparingly and only with the oversight of judges and administrators. But both didn’t think they should be banned. The shooting death of Breonna Taylor in Louisville has sparked debate over the practice of police getting warrants to enter a premise with little to no notifi cation to the resident before entering, known as a no-knock warrant. “One, it has to be run through a judge. Two, I think it should be run through a succession of administrators,” McGuff ey said. “It should be scrutinized.” In his 34 years with the Cincinnati Police, Hoff bauer said he thought the police agencies in the region exercised good judgment on when no-knock warrants are used. He didn’t see a need for much change.

Should law enforcement have militarized vehicles and equipment? In May during protests in the wake of the death of George Floyd, local law enforcement in Cincinnati used as transport heavily armored vehicles designed to protect soldiers from mines. Both McGuff ey and Hoff bauer said military equipment has its place in law enforcement. “That assault vehicle is very useful if we are going into a hot situation,” McGuff ey said. “I mean one where someone is holding people hostage, has the fi repower–some of these guys they’ll have armor-piercing rounds and all manner of fi repower. We need that vehicle to keep our personnel safe while we deal with that situation.” The police chase involving a tractortrailer in July showed the need for military-grade weapons, Hoff bauer said. The police used a massive .50 caliber rifl e to disable the engine of the truck. “If they didn’t have that tool available, which is a military-grade munition, you can’t take a handgun and shoot the engine of this big truck out,” Hoff bauer said.

Skip the hayrides and wipe down candy: Ohio releases COVID-19 guidance for Halloween ple refrain from selecting treats from a bowl or container, or that treat-givers set up a hand-sanitizing station. “Consider placing treats on porch steps or a table in the driveway with a sign asking children to take only one. Or use other creative ways to distribute treats, such as using a candy “slide” made of PVC pipe, or hanging treats from a wall or fence,” the guidance stated.

Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Ohio Department of Health recently released guidance for the best practices for Halloween, including trick-or-treating. “Halloween historically in the state has been a very community event,” DeWine said Thursday. He added that Ohio has a long history of local communities planning trick-or-treat times and the guidance won’t change that. “Obviously celebrations this year will not look like years past,” DeWine said. Masks will be required and communities will be expected to social distance. According to the guidance:

h For trick-or-treating, limit the number of houses you visit and ask your children to stay as far from treat-givers as possible. For small children, consider holding the bag for them. h Wipe off candy wrappers with sanitizing wipes when you arrive home. h Allow children to eat only factory-

wrapped treats. Avoid homemade treats made by strangers. h If your child is at greater risk of complications from COVID-19, contact your doctor before allowing participation in Halloween activities. DeWine also recommended that peo-

Instead of trick-or-treating, recommendations include: h Holding a drive-through or drive-in trick-or-treat event, with children in costume and face coverings staying in cars and collecting treats from individuals spaced at least 6 feet apart. h Holding drive-by costume or cardecorating contests with judges who are physically distanced. h Decorating your home and hide treats as an alternative to trick-or-treating. h Holding costume parties or pumpkin carving events or contests online, such as by video conference

“Hayrides, haunted houses are much more problematic,” he said on Thursday. The guidance strongly recommended that hayrides and haunted houses be canceled/avoided. DeWine shared the Halloween guidance on coronavirus.ohio.gov. Some communities assumed they would be making the decisions and have announced their plans. Halloween is set from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31, in West Chester, Liberty, Ross and Fairfi eld townships and in the city of Fairfi eld, a check of those communities showed. In Hamilton, offi cials indicated they will have Halloween from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 31, but said the city is in early stages of planning alternatives as well. Warren County communities of Mason, Deerfi eld and Hamilton townships are also planning Halloween from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 31. Lebanon’s Halloween hours will be 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Oct. 31. Main Street Lebanon has organized downtown merchants handing out candy to kids in costume on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 1 to 3 p.m.

Cincinnati is second-fastest selling housing market Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Single family homes and condos are selling faster in the Cincinnati area than any other market in the country except one, according to the latest national housing report from real estate market tracker, Re/Max. In August, homes sold in the Cincinnati area stayed on the market an average of 21 days before coming under contract, ranking just behind Omaha, Nebraska for the shortest time on the market out of 53 metro areas surveyed, according to the report. The number of days on the market in Cincinnati was less than half the na-

tional average of 41 days in August – only the second time in the housing report’s 13-year history that the national number fell that low, according to Re/ Max. Seattle, Nashville, Miami and Des Moines, Iowa, rounded out the top 5 fastest-selling housing markets in the Re/Max report. “(Home) buyers are moving forward in record numbers, unfazed by inventory challenges and consistently higher prices,” said Adam Contos, CEO of Re/ Max Holdings Inc. Nationally, August home sales rose about 4.3%, on average, while prices surged to a new record high median price of $290,000, according to Re/

Max. In the Cincinnati area, sales were up about 11% in July, compared to the same month a year ago, and the median price surged about 13% to $218,000, according to the most recent report from the Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors (CABR). An unprecedented shortage of inventory both locally and nationally has forced buyers to act fast and bid up prices for a dwindling number of available homes for sale, The Enquirer previously reported. In Cincinnati, housing inventory plunged 46% in July compared to the same month a year earlier, according to the local Realtors.

And the dearth of listings is likely to become even more pronounced this fall leading up to the presidential election and a possible second wave COVID-19 infections that has already led some sellers to hold off on listing their homes, said Donna Deaton, vice president of Re/Max Victory in Liberty Township. “Historically, for whatever reason, anytime there’s a presidential election the market always slows down,” Deaton said. “As long as we have low inventories, prices are going to continue to increase because you just have more people bidding for fewer properties.”

VIEWPOINTS I’m crossing party lines to endorse Bruce Hoff bauer for sheriff Your Turn Dusty Rhodes Guest columnist

Hamilton County Sheriff Jim Neil is not and was never a politician. He is an experienced police professional whose fi rst consideration was serving and protecting people. That is why I was so proud of the local Democratic Party for endorsing him in 2012. Rather than seeing the offi ce of sheriff as some kind of partisan prize, in Neil we off ered the voters a serious and accomplished individual who worked his way up in law enforcement. Against all odds and outspent by about 15 to 1, he won election ending almost a half-century of Republican control of the sheriff ’s offi ce. In early 2016, he accepted an invitation from a colleague to attend and provide an additional police presence at a rally for thenpresidential candidate Donald Trump. For that, he was pilloried by some elements of the local Democratic Party. In spite of that, he was reelected in November 2016 with over 60% of the vote.

In offi ce, Sheriff Neil gave a second chance at redemption to Charmaine McGuff ey, who was previously charged with disorderly behavior and menacing outside a Covington bar. When over 30 of the staff under her command came forward with credible evidence of her bullying and mistreatment, Neil had no choice but to remove her from her position. She resigned rather than accept reassignment, only to resurface as a primary candidate for the offi ce of sheriff running against her former friend and patron. She was supported by fi ve of the Democrats on Cincinnati City Council, one of whom recently resigned in disgrace after copping a plea in federal court, and all of whom are charged with breaking Ohio’s Sunshine Law in a series of private emails making decisions on public policy and evidencing nasty, racist comments. One of fi ve who hopes to be mayor, sought, received and promoted Sheriff Neil’s endorsement in his last election, only to turn on him in this year’s primary, just as he did in pledging to oppose the infamous streetcar and changing his mind right after being elected.

As the fi rst Democrat to win a county administrative offi ce in two decades, I have always been happy to stand with such exceptional and principled public servants as fellow Democrats Tom Luken, Bill Mallory, Jerry Luebbers, Charlie Luken and John Cranley, among many others. I have endorsed and assisted many local Democrats in their campaigns and service and will continue to do so. Believing good government is good politics, my approach to the Hamilton County Auditor’s offi ce put service to the public and respect for taxpayer’s money fi rst. In that way, my tenure has refl ected well on the party leading the way to voters electing Democrats to other county offi ces including Todd Portune, Denise Driehaus, Stephanie Summerow Dumas, Wayne Coates and Dr. Lakshmi Sammarco. Sadly, that is not good enough for current party leadership. The new regime has apparently determined they have no place in the party for those who are not willing to compromise their deeply held religious beliefs, or at least, not express or defend them. That is one

reason they denied the party endorsement to our incumbent sheriff who served with distinction. So, we are left with a candidate for sheriff who, in my opinion, is woefully unqualifi ed for the offi ce, who never was a “street” cop, and who is on the Brady List for lying, not once, but twice, over the course of her service. It is beyond ironic that the Cincinnati City Council members who support her know full well she could not qualify to be a Cincinnati police offi cer under their own requirements, but in spite of that, they support her for the highest law enforcement post in the county. The fi rst duty of government is public safety. As our sheriff , we need a nonpartisan professional, not a political lightning rod. As our sheriff , we need a total focus on public safety, not a commitment to the latest woke fad. As our sheriff , we need high qualifi cations, not high maintenance. For those reasons, I am crossing party lines this year to endorse Bruce Hoff bauer for Hamilton County Sheriff and urge all my friends to support him.

Deters: Escape blocked in Westwood apartment arson Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A man who prosecutors say intentionally set a fi re last year at a Westwood apartment building, killing one resident and injuring two others, has been indicted on multiple charges, including murder and aggravated arson. Jamal Rashid faces 18 years to life in prison, if convicted. He was a resident of the building at 3205 Gobel Ave., offi cials said. The fi re was set the morning of Nov. 19, 2019 near the entrance of the twostory building. The fi re was set directly in front of, and on, the only stairway to the second fl oor, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said in a news release. Rashid Investigators determined that gasoline was present at the scene. The man who died suff ered for six days in the hospital with second- and third-degree burns as well as smoke inhalation before succumbing to his injuries, Deters said. Court records identify the man as 63-year-old Charles Eason. Some residents were able to escape without injury. But offi cials said fi refi ghters had to attack and extinguish the fi re in the entryway, so they could get inside to rescue Eason, who lived on the fi rst fl oor. The county coroner ruled his death was a homicide. Two second-fl oor occupants had to jump from their windows to escape the blaze. According to Deters, one broke her leg in the fall, and the other suff ered leg and

DELHI TOWNSHIP (FOX19) – A mother appeared in court on Sept. 17 months after being charged for the drowning death of her infant daughter. Jessica Fisher, 23, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter on Sept. 17. The charges stem from the bathtub drowning death of Fisher’s daughter, who was around 18 months old at the time, Delhi Township Police Lt. Joe Macaluso told FOX19 Now several months ago. The infant drowned around 8 p.m. April 3 on Greenwell Avenue in Delhi Township, the incident report says. A 3-year-old was also in the bathtub at the time and was not harmed, according to Macaluso. Fisher will be back in court on Oct. 14 for sentencing. Enquirer media partner Fox19 provided this report.

Floating, socially distanced movie theater cancels dates in Cincinnati Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A fl oating boat cinema that was scheduled to be in Cincinnati has been rescheduled to 2021 “due to COVID,” according to the promoting website. Beyond Cinema, an Australian-based pop-up cinema experience company, originally said the fl oating theater would come to Cincinnati Wednesday through Sunday. The fl oating cinema tour planned several stops in U.S. cities, including Pittsburgh; Philadelphia; New York; Orlando, Florida; and Houston. The company originally promoted the event as a

way “to allow for social distancing on and between boats” due to the pandemic. The cinema, like a drivein movie theater on water, was supposed to have 12 to 24 mini boats that can each seat up to eight people. The company did not previously release where the boats would fl oat or which movies the company would show, but had said that it would be “a mix of golden oldies and new releases.” The website has been updated with this statement: “Due to COVID, we have had to change the original dates for this event, however, we are currently working hard on new dates and locations for each city. As soon as we have more information regarding dates, movies and ticket releases you will be notifi ed via email.”

Two ways to make Mississippi pot roast Mississippi slow cooker pot roast from scratch

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Adapted slightly from Sam Sifton’s New York Times recipe.

Guest columnist

Ingredients

It was a crazy busy day today on our little patch of heaven. We started out working with the wood pile, stacking it into manageable rows. Then it was on to gathering seeds from the cutting fl ower rows. And harvesting more hot peppers, including banana. The cool weather, the banana peppers and a thawed chuck roast were motivation for supper: Mississippi pot roast in my crockpot. Now, this iconic, yummy recipe can be made two ways: one using packaged ingredients and one from scratch. But the one on Pinterest’s most pinned list, well over 1 million times, is guess what? The roast with packaged ingredients! It’s also the easier of the two, so that won me over. Check out my site for the fun story of how this recipe became “the best roast in the world.” Truth be told, the seasonings are weird. Ranch dressing and gravy mix. Oh, and a stick of butter. But a recipe

3 pounds or so boneless chuck roast Salt and pepper ⁄ 4 cup flour

1

Vegetable oil 4 tablespoons butter 4 or so pepperoncini or to taste 2 tablespoons each: mayonnaise and cider vinegar ⁄ 2 teaspoon dried dill leaves or tablespoon fresh

1

⁄ 4 teaspoon each: garlic powder and sweet paprika

top.

Ingredients

Place butter on top. Don’t stir or add water.

3 pounds or so boneless chuck roast 1 package brown gravy or Au jus gravy mix (I used brown gravy mix) 1 package ranch salad dressing 1 stick butter – yes, a whole stick 3 whole fresh banana peppers or about 6 or so pepperoncini Instructions Place roast in sprayed crockpot. Sprinkle gravy and dressing packets on

Film bottom of skillet with oil. Heat until hot, then put roast in and brown well on all sides to create crust. This is necessary for flavor and to thicken gravy.

Make ranch dressing by whisking mayonnaise, vinegar, dill, garlic and paprika together. Add to meat.

Add peppers.

Cook on low, undisturbed, 6-8 hours or high 3-4 or so.

Cover and continue cooking, undisturbed, 6 to 8 hours, or until you can shred meat easily using 2 forks.

It’s done when meat easily shreds with 2 forks. Gravy will look a bit thin, but no worries.

Mix meat with gravy.

Take roast out (it will have fallen into large pieces), shred and put back in cooker. It will absorb gravy, making meat juicy. Serve with mashed potatoes, noodles or rice.

Serve with noodles or roast or mashed potatoes, or pile onto sandwiches.

A hot pepper assortment with banana peppers are on top.

SPORTS Colerain soccer coach: ‘When my girls are put in a position to defend their deaf coach it’s not OK’ Charlie Goldsmith Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Before every Colerain women’s soccer game, head coach Felicia Waldock approaches the referees to introduce herself. Some of them remember her from her high school career at Oak Hills High School in Cincinnati, where she fi nished as the school’s third all-time scoring leader. Some of the referees remember her from a previous game she’s coached. But a few referees haven’t met her yet. When that happens, she hands the referee a roster and also tells them she’s deaf. Waldock faced adversity during her playing career, but that doesn’t compare to what she’s faced as a coach, things that make even her athletes want to come to her defense. First, it’s important to know how she got to that point. Waldock is working on turning around Colerain women’s soccer’s track record. Between 2016 and 2018, Colerain High School never fi nished the season with more than two conference wins or higher than eighth place in the 10-team Greater Miami Conference. Colerain hired Waldock for the 2019 season and fi nished the year in eighth place in the conference again. One month into Waldock’s second year, the Cardinals improved to 1-0-1 in the GMC and 3-2-1 overall. “No. 1 most important thing is the culture,” Waldock said. “Without culture, you can’t win in high school. You don’t get to choose who your players are. It’s amazing to see what the girls have done from last year to this year.” Waldock has played soccer since she was three years old and participated in leagues with much older players. In 2001, she started at Oak Hills High School, where she scored 15 goals and was one of the fi rst freshmen to ever be named fi rst-team all GMC. In college, she played her fi rst two college seasons at the University of South Carolina and led the team in scoring her sophomore season. Waldock transferred to Purdue, where she played for a Big Ten Championship team and the fourth-ranked club in the NCAA. “If you know the game well, you know where to get the ball,” Waldock said. “For me, I didn’t know any diff erent because I was born deaf. It was always a challenge for other players to get used to me. If they’re wide open and they call for the ball, obviously I couldn’t hear them. That was never an issue for me.” Waldock didn’t feel like her soccer career was fi nished after college, so she sent her Purdue highlights to a soccer agent that lined her up with a league in Finland. She led that league in scoring

and later won three gold medals for the U.S. Women’s Deaf Soccer team in the Deafl ympics and the Deaf World Cup. Once she retired from soccer in 2012, Waldock started looking for a job in coaching, which didn’t come easily at

fi rst. When she lived in Texas, she worked at Texas A&M International as a volunteer assistant coach. Then she moved back home to Cincinnati and worked on the University of Cincinnati’s operations staff where she helped book

hotels and transportation for the team. Waldock, who now is an American Sign Language teacher at Lakota West High School, then started coaching club See COACH, Page 2B

OHSAA playoff regions, participants announced Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS– The Ohio High School Athletic Association has announced new regional alignments for the upcoming football playoff s after 664 schools opted in for the postseason. In a normal season, 224 schools qualify for the playoff s, with eight schools from each of 28 regions earning a bid through the OHSAA’s Harbin computer ratings system, which will not be used this season. The new regions are posted at https://bit.ly/30aeTWi. They are similar for Southwest Ohio schools as in year’s past. Division I is Region 4, Division II is Region 8, Division III is Region 12, Division IV is Region 16, Division V is Region 20, Division VI is Region 24 and Division VII is Region 28. Nearby exceptions are in Division III where Western Brown and Wilmington of the Southern Buckeye Conference will participate in Region 11. Of note locally, Woodward, Western

Western Hills quarterback Omar Beckley scores a touchdown during the Mustangs' 20-7 loss to Hughes, on Sept. 19. TONY TRIBBLE FOR THE ENQUIRER

Hills, Gamble Montessori, Riverview East and Clark Montessori of the Cincinnati Public School District have opted to not participate in the playoff s based on not being listed among the regional teams. From CPS, Walnut Hills is participating in Division I, Withrow in Division II, Hughes and Aiken in Division III, Shroder in Division IV and Taft

in Division V. Originally, there were 709 schools that indicated they planned to contend for a playoff bid this season playing 11man football, but the COVID-19 pandemic has caused some schools to start their seasons later or end early. Based on the recommendation from Gov. Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Health, the OHSAA shortened the football season.

Playoff schedule and format On Sept. 29 and 30, the head coaches in each region will vote to seed the teams in their region. The OHSAA will then place teams on brackets on Oct. 1. With various numbers of schools in each region, many of the higher seeds will have a fi rst-round bye in most regions. Teams with a fi rst-round bye may schedule an additional regularseason game Oct. 9 if they choose. Once the brackets are set, the top team on the bracket of the specifi c game

will have the fi rst opportunity to host the game throughout the regional playoff s. If the top team on the bracket cannot host, the other team will host the game. The OHSAA will determine sites for the state semifi nals and state championships. If a team is unable to play a playoff game on the assigned day according to the bracket, its opponent will advance on the bracket. Playoff games will be held on Friday and Saturday nights beginning Oct. 910. Divisions, I, II, III and VII will play on Friday nights. Divisions IV, V and VI will play on Saturday nights. As a reminder, schools eliminated from the OHSAA playoff s or that choose not to enter the OHSAA playoff s have the option to schedule additional regular-season contests through Saturday, Nov. 14 (maximum of 10 regular season contests permitted). Cincinnati Public Schools will conduct a city tournament involving the schools that elected to opt-out.

Northern Kentucky/Indiana football team: Campbell County – The Camel defense held and allowed just a single score in the 21-8 win against Cooper.

“He said ‘dadadadadada,’ like he started mimicking me,” Waldock said. “That happens a lot, but I respond by saying, ‘I’m deaf.’ Usually, the response is ‘Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry.’ “His response was not that. He laughed it off and said ‘I know.’ It wasn’t an expected response, and I didn’t expect anything of it as the game went on.” Colerain led in the game, and Waldock continued to coach up her players, shouting orders like “push up,” or “watch No. 9.” On one play, the opposing team had a throw-in from the sidelines and an opposing player ran 15 yards to throw in the ball, which is not allowed in soccer. “I said to the ref, ‘Hey, where’s she going?’” Waldock said. “And the ref on the side said, ‘Could you please put that coach back in her place? She’s been driving me crazy the whole game.’ ” Waldock said she’s had a few similar incidents during her head coaching career. This season, another head coach said something to the refs about Waldock screaming loudly.

When that happened, several Colerain players ran over to that coach to explain that Waldock is deaf. “I’ve gone through that my whole life, but to put my players in a position to defend me, that’s not OK,” Waldock said. “They’re 14, 15 and 16 years old, and they’re hearing grown men say something like that. It’s just not OK.” In her entire coaching career, Waldock says she’s never “blown up” at a referee. While she may say something during the course of the game – “Yeah, I talk to the refs; I’m a coach,” she says – Waldock will only say something when she sees her players are being treated unfairly. Waldock said she loves coaching. especially being a head coach and run But she said she hopes referees and coaches receive more education. “I’m not really sure that we can change how people are, maybe become more educated,” she said. “People should know I am deaf and not judge my voice. If you don’t know what I’m saying, don’t assume that I’m yelling at you.”

soccer for Ohio Elite in Cincinnati. After just a few months, Colerain off ered Waldock the head coaching position. Waldock said she knew Colerain’s players would have to be more confi dent for the team to perform better in the 2020 season. So, throughout the winter, Waldock met with the soccer team during lunch to instill some belief in them. “Believe in each other and believe in yourself,” Waldock told them. Now in her second season at Colerain, Waldock said the team has completely gotten used to her coaching style. “I just had to get to know them and get used to my voice,” Waldock said. “I told them, I don’t care if you can understand me (yet), we’ll get there.” It hasn’t been as easy for her on game day. Recently, Waldock introduced herself to a referee and handed him Colerain’s varsity roster.

FC Cincinnati leaders detail (most) food, drink options for West End Stadium Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The head of dining for FC Cincinnati’s West End Stadium shared new details about eating and drinking options planned for the new stadium, saying all decisions are being made with an eye on making sure fans don’t miss a minute of the game. Nigel Chalkey, director of operations for Lion’s Share Hospitality, the company overseeing food and beverage for the stadium, hinted a popular local chef will be joining his team as executive chef. But he wouldn’t name names just yet. Chalkey recently shared with The Enquirer new details about what fans will fi nd when they climb the grand staircase into the new stadium. “Fan experience is FC Cincinnati’s number one priority,” Chalkey said. “Food and beverage is a major part of that experience.” When the stadium opens, look for: • 14 food and beverage destinations, three bars and two grab-and-go markets. Speed is especially impor-

tant in a Major League Soccer stadium because the clock does not stop during a match except for the 15-minute half time. •Concourse dining, including Queen City Eats (specialty loaded hot dogs); Chalkey Rhine Roost (fried chicken tenders and sandwiches); The Smokehaus (smoked BBQ); plus a Grab n Go Market with fresh-made salads and wraps. For speed, there will be 25 mobile food and beverage stations along the north, east, and south sides of the concourse. Fans will be able to order via cell phones, which allows for quick pick-up, Chalkey added. The Enquirer previously reported in June 2019 Frisch’s Big Boy and Skyline will have a presence in the new stadium. Chalkey said there are similar partnerships with local favorites still coming. FC Cincinnati is building a 26,000-seat stadium in the West End, set to open in March 2021. Most of the 4,500 season ticket club seats are already sold and on Monday reserved season ticket deposits went on sale.

Construction continues for the natural grass fi eld at FC Cincinnati’s new West End Stadium in West End on Sept. 14. HANNAH RUHOFF/THE ENQUIRER

COMMUNITY NEWS Delhi philanthropist honored with Voices of Giving Award Delhi resident Jacqueline Neumann was recently honored by the Greater Cincinnati Planned Giving Council (GCPGC) as a Voices of Giving Award recipient, for her selfl ess generosity and foresight in contributing a lasting gift to St. Vincent de Paul - Cincinnati. Neumann has been a loyal supporter of and advocate for St. Vincent de Paul’s three yearly fundraising events: Celebration of Service; Golf Outing and Wine and Bourbon Tasting; and RetroFittings fashion show. A Board of Trustees member for the UC Foundation, she has helped UC and St. Vincent de Paul further strengthen their many partnerships, including RetroFittings. When Neumann started to make her will and estate plan a few years ago, she wanted to ensure her family was taken care of. However, she also wanted to leave a gift to an organization close to her heart. “I want to make someone else’s life better, and St. Vincent de Paul helps this happen,” she said. In its 22nd year, the Voices of Giving Awards Event (this year held virtually) pays tribute to Greater Cincinnati philanthropists who represent the true spirit of giving. The Event also acknowledged professional advisors who play a pivotal role in cultivating planned gifts. The Greater Cincinnati Planned Giving Council is a professional association for people whose work includes developing, marketing, and administering charitable planned gifts. Members include persons who raise funds for nonprofi t institutions, consultants, and professional advisors who work in a variety of legal and fi nancial settings – people whose life work is helping others LEAVE A LEGACY through a planned gift to the charities they love.

Cincinnati Chapter DAR presents National Founders Medal Award On Saturday, Aug. 29, members of the Cincinnati Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution gathered for their meeting and presentation of one of their esteemed National Founder Awards. The Eugenia Washington Medal for Heroism was awarded to Dr. Brad Wenstrup, Colonel Army Reserves, Member of Congress. Unfortunately, Wenstrup was unable to attend the ceremony due to being called up for Army Reserve Duty. Receiving the award on his behalf was Austin Heller, Military and Veteran Liaison who works with Wenstrup’s offi ce. Heller is a 10-year veteran of the Kentucky National Guard, a past member of the Strategic Response Unit and served a year active duty in Iraq. The medal and certifi cate were presented by Cincinnati DAR member Amy Barron. Letters of recommendation were written by Barron and three non-DAR members which included Ian Barron, DPM, Jay Johannigman, MD and Steve Scalise, Member of Congress. Wenstrup has been a recipient of the Bronze Star for heroic actions while serving in Iraq. He is also the recipient of the Army’s highest award for heroism outside of combat, the Soldier’s Medal. On June 14, 2017, members of Congress were at a baseball practice when a gunman opened fi re and wounded Representative Steve Scalise and two Capitol Hill police offi cers. Wenstrup remained on the fi eld, and when it was safe, rendered lifesaving fi rst aid to Representative Steve Scal-

ise. Born in 1838, Eugenia Washington was one of the four founding members of DAR. She was the great-grandniece of President George Washington. Born near Charlestown, what is now West Virginia, her family later moved to Virginia. During the Civil War, Eugenia was trying to move her disabled father to a safe area when a wounded soldier was brought to their home. She stayed with the soldier until a physician arrived. By the time they left, she and her father were caught on the battlefi eld of Fredericksburg and they witnessed the surrounding battle from a small trench left by a cannon. Eugenia shielded her father with her body to protect him from the ensuing battle; they had to remain like this for an entire day. She and her father later moved to Washington D.C., after accepting a position with the United States Post Offi ce. She worked in this position until one week before her death in 1900. The DAR, founded in 1890 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a non-profi t, non-political volunteer
