A housing ﬁ ght in Lower Price Hill leads to a ‘bizarre outcome’ Lower Price Hill housing dispute triggers council sparring Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A city memo said the properties involved have code violations making it ineligible for the $1 million, even though Delaney said that’s the whole point – buying bad properties and making them livable. Instead, the city gave the green light to a diﬀ erent Lower Price Hill project, which would create less aﬀ ordable housing. Lower Price Hill is among the city neighborhoods where a majority of residents are renters and who pay more than 55% of their income in rent, previous Enquirer reporting has revealed. One of every 3 city residents, or

Lower Price Hill residents and business owners packed City Hall Thursday to support an aff ordable housing project in their neighborhood – a project on the cusp of falling apart after city administrators refused to give it the fi nal $1 million it needs before construction can begin. City Council members ended the hearing pledging to fi nd the needed money. But that came after hours of sparring, accusations and debates over whether to even have the hearing they were having. Councilman Chris Seelbach accused Mayor John Cranley of having something to do with pulling the plug on the project. Why, Seelbach ally PG Sittenfeld said, “Was something that should have been a surefi re yes, a no?” “The goal of having this discussion … is to fi nd a path where a project that will allow 50 families to live in quality, aff ordable housing can still move forward. It is to make sure Lower Price Hill Thrives still happens.” But, he said, it was also to “Gain clarity on how and why it happened.” “The reasons that were given to me frankly raised concerns,” Sittenfeld said. Seelbach said he suspected Cranley played favorites toward a local developer, though he did not directly name the developer. “We have a project wrapped up in a gift. All we have to do is put one more million in,” Seelbach said. “This

Mary Delaney, executive director of Community Matters in Lower Price Hill, talks about the buildings, like this one on Neave St., they are planning to renovate for affordable housing on Sept. 30. The money designated for the renovation project from the city is now in jeopardy. The plan was to start the renovations in May 2021. The project would take about 18 months.

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Sept. 30. Visit Cincinnati.c om for possible updates. For six years, the director of a Lower Price Hill social service agency has been working on an aff ordable housing project called LPH Thrives – Lower Price Hill Thrives – aimed at helping people in the neighborhood live in nicer places. It was supposed to create 47 aff ordable apartments in 10 historic buildings that would be renovated, plus a new building that would comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act.

Mary Delaney, executive director of the neighborhood’s nonproﬁ t, Community Matters, said it was the kind of project that would transform the small Cincinnati neighborhood, where the median household income is $14,943 a year and 87% of children live in poverty. But at the last minute, the city refused $1 million in taxpayer support for the project, potentially killing the entire project. The ﬁ ght has pitted the current mayor against the man who hopes to succeed him, and pitted renters against owners. It’s ensnared the Reds Community Fund and Habitat for Humanity. Cincinnati City Council was scheduled to hear more about Oct. 1.

More than 100 families visited Westwood Elementary School Sept. 30 to pick up meals for their students. Cincinnati Public Schools is partnering with the Children’s Hunger Alliance, a statewide nonproﬁ t focused on eliminating food insecurity, to provide graband-go dinners to students during remote learning. Since the pandemic shutdown, CHA has served more than 1.2 million meals

across Ohio. “Our work feeding children is always important but has been even more critical during this health crisis as more families struggle to make ends meet and put food on the table, said Judy Mobley, president and CEO of CHA. Each week, CPS provides 10 meals, including breakfast and lunch, to qualiﬁ ed students. With CHA’s assistance, students will receive an additional seven meals. Westwood is one of seven local schools participating in the grab-and-

go meal program. Several elected oﬃ cials also helped distribute food Sept. 30. The meals are served every Wednesday from noon until 4 p.m. Participating schools: h Chase Elementary School h Frederick Douglass Elementary School h Hartwell Elementary School h Mt.

Housing Continued from Page 1A

about 88,000 people, struggle to pay the rent each month. Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld is on a mission to fi nd out what really happened to the sidelined project and scheduled a special hearing for Oct. 2. City Manager Paula Boggs Muething has the fi nal say. Sittenfeld took his frustration to Twitter. Sittenfeld’s tweet name-checked Bill Burwinkel, an East Price Hill developer who Sittenfeld said worked behind the scenes against the project: “The 11th hour abandonment by the city of a great aff ordable housing project -- strongly supported by the Lower Price Hill community (w/ really only one person, B. Burwinkle, opposing) does not smell right. Needs a public hearing + additional eyeballs.” “The ‘Lower Price Hill Thrives’ project would allow nearly 50 Cincinnati families to have a quality, aff ordable roof over their heads,” said Sittenfeld, who is running for mayor in 2021. “Torpedoing a project with broad community support and signifi cant state funds makes no sense. I’ve been clear that affordable housing must be a top priority for City Hall, so we’re going to get to the bottom of this bizarre outcome.”

Six years, 10 properties and a dream Delaney said the project started six years ago. The neighborhood’s Oyler School was thriving, but substandard and vacant housing plagued the area. “We started targeting some of the most challenging buildings,” Delaney said. Community Matters has successfully renovated buildings in the past, but for this they needed the right partner. They found one in Over-the-Rhine Community Housing, which for more than 40 years has invested in aﬀ ordable housing, worked to save historic buildings and connected its tenants to jobs. Over-the-Rhine Community Housing applied for state tax credits last year and didn’t get them. But this year they got $10 million from the state, the bulk of the $12 million project. The rest was supposed to be a mix of historic tax credits, private fundraising and $1 million from the city. The city never made a funding promise for the project. But on Feb. 10, Markiea Carter, director of the city’s Department of Community and Economic Development, wrote a commitment letter on behalf of the project, giving Community Matter and Over-the-Rhine Housing hope. Ohio Housing Finance Agency dollars are notoriously competitive. But once low-income housing tax credits are secured, the rest typically falls into place. Nobody wants a mostly statefunded project to fail. Lower Price Hill’s community and business councils backed the proposal. The Cincinnati Planning Commission approved the project in June. “We thought we were on track,” Delaney said. Then, on Sept. 24, one day before the ﬁ nal funding package was due to the state, OTR Community Housing heard from the city that the project didn’t qualify for the state money. The news devastated Delaney. “There has to be a path forward,” she said. “This neighborhood, we have put everything we have into this.”

Community Matters in Lower Price Hill has nine buildings, like this one on 8th Street, they are planning to renovate for affordable housing. Many of the building date back to the 1850's. The rental properties would be efficiency up to three-bedrooms.

Whispers of opposition Back before the June planning commission meeting, rumors fl oated that the project was in jeopardy, Sittenfeld said. Charley Frank, executive director of the Reds Community Fund, detailed issues he’d heard about in a June 12 email to Sittenfeld. The Reds don’t get involved in matters like this, but when the team does a project in a neighborhood – in 2016 the Reds Community Fund redeveloped space into two ball fi elds, the Joe Williams Family Center and a public garden on Neave Street – it doesn’t walk away. In an email to Sittenfeld, obtained by The Enquirer via a public records request, Frank expressed concern about the opposition to the Lower Price Hill Thrives project. “When Mary alerted me recently that Community Matters had been approved for the tax credits to make their bold LPH Thrives vision possible, I was excited to think of the incredible, inevitable outcomes,” Frank wrote. “Their track record speaks for itself... in the small, yet complicated neighborhood. “With this in mind, I’m troubled by the opposition to the project by a community competitor that continues to challenge their eff orts,” Frank added. Frank wouldn’t say who he suspected of opposing Community Matter’s project, but said when the Reds were doing work in Lower Price Hill in 2016 the Community Fund was approached by an opposing group on numerous occasions. The opponents “tried to present a different vision and were clearly upset that they no longer had a monopoly in LPH and the surrounding neighborhood when it came to development.” When contacted by The Enquirer, Frank declined to say who he was talking about. But he said, “I had enormous amount of faith in Mary Delaney and Community Matters. The experiences we have had with them have been meticulous and thoughtful. … My hope is this is something that will ultimately come through.” Burwinkel told The Enquirer, “I had nothing to do with the funding issues the project is facing.” Burwinkel owns the old bank building at the corner of Eighth and State streets and empty lots next to it, but is better known in the revival of East Price Hill’s Incline District. “I have invested over 28 years in Lower Price Hill and Oyler School,” Burwinkel said. “When no investment was happening in Lower Price Hill I bought the West End Bank Building and restored it and moved my business to the community.… I am deeply invested in our community.”

A city memo, excuses and problem properties

sion,” Boggs Muething wrote. The memo went on to say Community Matters has a history of code violations, “and the organization has failed to be responsive to the Department of Buildings and Inspections on addressing these concerns.” “Further, there was some level of community opposition to the project, particularly around parking issues,” Boggs Muething wrote, without saying who opposed the project. “Finally, the city determined to fund the Habitat Homeownership project in Lower Price Hill, which from a policy perspective was determined as a better development outcome for the neighborhood.” Cranley said he supports the Habitat project because it promotes homeownership, and that “is exactly what Lower Price Hill needs.” “Throughout my career I have promoted the de-concentration of poverty, and the Habitat project does that,” Cranley said. “For the reasons outlined in the manager’s memo, the Thrives project does not. The progress in Lower Price Hill is made possible by both City and private investment, and the approved Habitat project is a positive contribution to the neighborhood. Cranley and Boggs Muething declined to answer questions about why Lower Price Hill Thrives was nixed.

On Sept. 29, Boggs Muething issued a memo outlining the projects which requested state housing money. The memo said there were $6.9 million in projects awarded to 10 of 12 applicants, creating 364 total housing units, 350 which are aff ordable. Among the approved projects was $1.1 million for a Lower Price Hill Habitat for Humanity proposal, which will renovate fi ve single-family homes scattered throughout the neighborhood. And then the memo went on to specifi cally address Lower Price Hill Thrives. “An important component of analysis is an applicant’s property ownership history,” the memo says. In the guidelines, the memo adds, the city specifi cally reserves the right to deny any applicant with past or present code violations, public nuisance cases, failure to pay fi nancial obligations to the city, existing project compliance issues, or for poor property management history “Though there were many positive factors for this project, additional applicant background information, some level of community opposition, and policy implications all informed the fi nal deci-

Cleves council disbands its police force, sheriﬀ to take over Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Cleves Village Council voted 5-1 on Sept. 29 to disband its police force of three full-time offi cers and instead contract with the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Offi ce. The council has been considering the idea for months. According to materials released on the village website, the motivation is strictly fi nancial. Only Councilwoman Geri Meister voted against the ordinance. Village Administrator Mike Rahall is-

sounds ﬁ shy to me. I can put two and two together. The one person who is against this is a powerful person who is connected to another powerful person at City Hall. Did this happen? Because it seems it did.” Seelbach did not name Cranley and East Price Hill developer Bill Burwinkel, but later told The Enquirer that’s who he meant. Cranley told The Enquirer last Wednesday that he did not support the project because it was targeted at renters, rather than owners. Burwinkel denied any involvement. Though it came to light Thursday that he spoke against the project during the Cincinnati Planning Commission and had asked for concessions on the project from Community Matters earlier this year. City Manager Paula Boggs Muething said there was no undue inﬂ uence made in determining not to fund the project. “There is nothing unusual about this,” Boggs Muething said. “This hearing is an unusual thing. Typically we send out letters and some people don’t get funded because there is a limited amount of money. And that is what you pay us to do.” She added, “Nothing improper happened here. I don’t appreciate the insinuation that either I or Director Carter did anything wrong.”

sued this statement to The Enquirer following the vote: “We would like to thank our police offi cers for serving the community so well and look forward to them continuing that service either here or elsewhere in the county with the sheriff department and we wish them well.” In an explanation of the fi nancial situation of the village, offi cials said nearly two-thirds of Cleves $1 million annual budget was being consumed by policing. “Because of an increasing police budget and small tax base, combined with other revenue losses, Cleves does not have signifi cant fi nancial re-

sources,” the document states. According to the ordinance, Cleves had only three full-time offi cers. One offi cer was still in his probationary period and another was set to enter the military in December, offi cials reported The village stated the police budget had increased about $100,000 each year and was expected to do so again this next year due to training, raises and the cost of body-worn cameras and other equipment. The nearby communities of North Bend, Miami Township and White Water Township already contract with the

sheriff ’s offi ce. The plan which the council hopes to institute with Hamilton County would turn the current police station into a substation within Cleves for deputies staff ed with a lieutenant or sergeant seven days a week. Current Cleves police offi cers would also be given jobs at the sheriff ’s offi ce if they pass a background check, according to the council. Rahall is now tasked with fi nishing negotiations with the sheriff ’s offi ce. Editor’s note: Information refl ects this article’s publication date – Sept. 29. Visit Cincinnati.com for updates.

Sittenfeld and Seelbach added later they weren’t accusing them of doing anything wrong. Cranley did not attend the hearing. During the hearing Councilman David Mann tried to halt Sittenfeld and Seelbach’s line of questioning to Boggs Muething and Carter, saying it would be best to just fi nd the $1 million from another pot of money. That sparked an argument between him and Sittenfeld. Both men are running for mayor in 2021. “Please stay in order,” Sittenfeld said to Mann. “You are not obligated to be here. We are concerned about why affordable housing that is needed was sabotaged. I do not like how this situation has unfolded.” Mann reiterated: “I don’t see how cross-examining our city administrators by suggesting there is some sort of political infl uence with no evidence. I just don’t see the value of pursuing the train you are pursuing.” Sittenfeld told Mann if he didn’t have questions, that was fi ne, but said, “The way this unfolded does not add up to me.” Mann: “Sir, I am a member of this committee, I have a right to be here.” Mann, who does support the project, suggested the hearing was a waste of time. Sittenfeld turned to those in attendance and asked: “Is this a waste of your time?” They said no, with one loud voice responding: “Absolutely not.” The hearing centered on an aff ordable housing project in Lower Price Hill

that was six years in the making. Community Matters and Over-the-Rhine Community Community Housing partnered to turn 10 vacant buildings into 47 aff ordable housing units. There’s $10 million from the state, another $11 million in other funding and the hope was the city would allocate the fi nal $1 million that’s needed. But at the last minute City Manager Paula Boggs Muething determined the project wasn’t what was best for Lower Price Hill because it was rental units, not privately owned homes. The city is so against the project, Mayor John Cranley is also refusing to sign off on the $10 million in state money, which is a formality, but nevertheless needed. Councilmembers PG Sittenfeld, with support from Councilman Chris Seelbach, called a special hearing Thursday aimed at solutions to save the project. “It’s a hell of thing when you have a project ready to go and not let it go through,” Sittenfeld said. The project has support from neighborhood residents, businesses and affordable housing advocates and they fl ooded council chambers to make their voices heard. Dan Meyer, CEO of Nehemiah, a manufacturing company in the neighborhood, said the company hires people who need a second chance. “We fi nd the number one thing, yes, they need a job,” Meyer said. “But there are other barriers they need to have removed so they can accomplish greatness in front of them. The number one thing they need is housing.”

His company is working toward expanding, he said. Housing like this for people who are working supports that growth, he said. “I think I am preaching to the choir,” Meyer said. “The answer of walking away is an unacceptable one.” Later Meyer stepped up to speak again and said he talked to an opponent and agreed “something fi shy happened” Ed Lee, CEO of Cincinnati Habitat for Humanity, which was awarded $1 million in city money to rehabilitate fi ve homes, said Lower Price Hill Thrives is “desperately needed.” “We share a vision that all children live in quality housing,” Lee said. “Unfortunately that is not the case today as the housing in Lower Price Hill has been neglected for years. We strongly encourage people to invest in all types of housing.” When Lower Price Hill Community Council President Cynthia Ford spoke she fi rst thanked council for the hearing, saying, “Lots of time Lower Price Hill tends not to get heard.” Cranley said this process was nothing new – some projects get funded, and some don’t because there’s only so much money to go around. “As council member Mann pointed out, this was an unprecedented attack on two professional women city leaders,” Cranley said. “The manager and director Carter explained their decision making in writing and at committee and their integrity was attacked time and time again. They are an owed an apology.”

Fall days are perfect for apple dumplings Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

I was in the mood for apple dumplings so I made a batch. It was the perfect fall day for making apple butter and applesauce, too. I’m sharing recipes for both the dumplings and apple butter. If you

want the applesauce recipe, check out my abouteating.com site. Judy M., a longtime reader, loves the apple butter from Nashville House in Nashville, Indiana. “My sisters and I want to get together and make apple butter and we’re looking for that recipe,” Judy said. She has great memories of going there as a family and eating fried biscuits with apple better. I called Nashville House and they don’t give out recipes, so I’m sharing one I like and which, I hope, comes close to what Judy wants.

Apple butter You can make this without any sugar or a substitute, but the real deal contains sugar. Use a big pot since butter sputters as it cooks. Ingredients

Meet The Enquirer’s 2020 Women of the Year Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

This year’s group of Enquirer Women of the Year honorees includes women who have had their hands in major organizations across the city, working behind the scenes to make Cincinnati a better place for everyone. The women will be honored during a virtual event in November. This is the 52nd Women of the Year awards. Introduced by The Enquirer in 1968, the program recognizes 10 women who have supported philanthropic efforts and who have improved civic life through their investment of time, energy and their belief in helping others. More than 500 women have been honored over the years. Here are the 2020 Enquirer Women of the Year: Delores Hargrove Young, of Evendale, embodies the spirit of Cincinnati, said those who work with her. Young, vice chairwoman for d.e. Foxx & Associates, Inc., has worked for nearly every big-name area organization, including the American Red Cross and Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Young co-chaired the 2015 MLB All-Star Game community organizing committee. “Alongside these organization Delores is committed to inspiring and developing young female leaders, increasing supplier diversity, and improving the economic stability of Cincinnati,” her nomination said. Dr. Shelley Jeﬀ erson Hamler, of Amberly, has “dedicated her entire life to educating, motivating, inspiring and empowering young people,” according to her nomination. Throughout her career, Hamler worked at school systems throughout Greater Cincinnati, mentoring and teaching students. She is Presi-

dent of the Cincinnati Chapter of The Links. The Links Leadership Academy for African American girls is a mentorship program for young women that makes a long-term commitment to the success of its mentees. Evelyn Laux, of Covington, is a “champion for children,” her colleagues said. A long-time employee of the United Way, Laux converted Cincinnati’s referral line to one of the nation’s ﬁ rst accredited 211 call centers. She led the expansion of the United Way to cover Northern Kentucky, Clermont, Brown and parts of Butler County. In retirement, Laux has volunteered for CASA for Kids in Northern Kentucky, working with children under the age of 18 as a court-appointed special advocate who has logged more than 2,000 hours since 2009. Helen O’Neal, of Anderson Township, is a long-time community volunteer who is co-founder and ambassador of the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. O’Neal has also served on boards of the Cincinnati Art Museum and Contemporary Arts Center. Colleagues say everything O’Neal does is with the “love and support for those who are underrepresented.” Heather Russell, of Loveland, runs Change Court, a specialized docket in

Hamilton County Municipal Court and a program that allows women who have been sex traffi cked to get help and reclaim their lives. Those backing her nomination said not everyone can look back and see the diff erence they’ve made in the lives of others, but “Judge Russell is one that can.” Her nomination said Russell “has touched and restored the lives of women who may have been considered untouchable and beyond restoration.” Dr. Samina Sohail, of West Chester, is a leader who “brings diverse cultures together” as a member of the Islamic Center of Greater Cincinnati. Her colleagues said Sohail has taken it upon herself to promote real conversations and civil and racial justice in her community. She does this, in part, through a program called Candid Community Conversations and through bringing people into the center. Sohail has been a tour guide for ICGC for 10 years, taking visitors on tours, breaking down Islamophobia and building bridges in the community. Shawnteé Stallworth Schramm, of Westwood, is a neighborhood advocate who has been on the forefront of her community’s revitalization, her nomination said. Schramm has been a board member with the Westwood Civic Association for seven years, leading neighborhood cleanups and working with law enforcement and community leaders to reduce crime throughout her neighborhood. In opening Muse Cafe and Wine Bar, Schramm fi lled a need in the community and created an environment to draw others in. Her application said that in starting her business, Schramm showed a “willingness to invest in her community before it was popular.” Stephanie “Stevie” Swain, of Kenne-

dy Heights, is a leader with a “servant heart big enough to share with others,” according to her nomination. Swain is the founder and president of the Cincinnati Collaborative Women’s Network that awakens and fuels the passion of aspiring women entrepreneurs, her nomination said. She is a member of the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky African American Chamber of Commerce, works with Talbert House and teaches fi nancial literacy to Macy’s employees as a way to help community members improve their futures. Teresa Tanner, of Hyde Park, does not measure success by numbers but rather the diff erence one can make in people’s lives, her nomination said. Tanner’s young daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in 1994 and recovered. Later, Tanner went on to chair a $50 million campaign at Cincinnati’s Ronald McDonald House to make the facility the largest of its kind in the world. She is also a board member of ArtsWave and the Freestore Foodbank. In the wake of the 2018 Fifth Third Center shooting, Tanner oversaw the lobby reopening and has served on the Cincinnati Strong Victims Fund to help her co-workers heal. Michele Young, of Indian Hill, is an attorney for whom “no problem is too small or great to undertake,” her nomination said – from freeing a woman who was wrongly imprisoned to volunteering at the Kyle Plush Answer the Call Foundation after the death of her son’s friend. Many describe Young as an “angel” who has worked for inclusion in the community, opening doors for minorities like managing the fi rst campaign for Hamilton County Coroner Lakshmi Sammarco and co-chairing the re-election campaign for Judge Nadine Allen.

4 local schools named 2020 National Blue Ribbon Schools Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Four Greater Cincinnati schools were named National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2020. Each year, the U.S. Department of Education recognizes schools based on academic excellence or their progress in

closing achievement gaps, oﬃ cials said. In 2020, there were 317 public schools and 50 private schools named National Blue Ribbon Schools. In 38 years, the program has given 10,000 awards to more than 9,000 schools. Schools can be nominated ﬁ ve years after a win and can be public or private schools.

“The National Blue Ribbon School award acknowledges and validates the hard work of students, educators, families, and communities in striving for— and attaining—exemplary achievement. For many educators, receiving the award is the realization of a long-held dream,” oﬃ cials said. Local 2020 National Blue Ribbon

Voters take advantage of early voting on March 14 at the Hamilton County Board of Elections in Norwood, Ohio. KAREEM ELGAZZAR/THE ENQUIRER

How to vote in-person if you requested a ballot by mail Jessie Balmert Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS - You planned to vote by mail in Ohio, but you changed your mind and now want to vote in person. You can do that. What you can’t do is vote twice, and Ohio election offi cials have some rules in place to prevent that from happening. If you already sent in your absentee ballot application, Ohio election offi cials will send you a ballot in the mail after Oct. 6 – the fi rst day of early voting. If you want to vote via mail, you fi ll out that application – pay close attention to the instructions – and either mail it or deliver it to your county board of elections. You can drop it off in a drop box or hand it to a county board of elections employee during business hours. If you changed your mind about voting by mail, you can vote in-person early at the county board of elections. Voting by mail and voting in-person early at the county board of elections are both called absentee voting. The term means you are “absent” from your polling location on Election Day, Nov. 3. If you received an absentee ballot in the mail, you can bring it to the county board of elections so they can mark it as “spoiled.” However, you do not need to bring your absentee ballot to the board to vote early in-person. (Election offi cials have ways of tracking that ballot to make sure it isn’t counted if sent in.)

BIG DEAL

What are the hours for early voting? Ohioans can vote at their county board of elections, starting Oct. 6. Here are the hours and dates: h 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 6-Oct. 9; Oct. 12-16 h 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Oct. 19-23 h 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24 h 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 25 h 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Oct. 26-30 h 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 31 h 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1 h 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 2

If you requested a ballot by mail and decide to vote in-person on Election Day at your polling location, you will be asked to vote a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots aren’t counted until election oﬃ cials conﬁ rm some missing information – in this case, that you didn’t already vote early via mail or in-person. If you did not receive a ballot in the mail (they aren’t being mailed till Oct. 6 – so don’t worry yet), made a mistake on your ballot or defaced it in some way, you can request a replacement ballot.

Feds: Landlord to pay $177,500 settlement after oﬀ ering free rent for sex Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Cincinnati landlord accused of offering tenants free rent for sex will pay $177,500 total to resolve a Fair Housing Act lawsuit, according to a release from the Department of Justice. John Klosterman, 70, and his wife, Susan Klosterman, owned 55 residential properties in Sedamsville, according to the release, many of which are located on Delhi Avenue. Court documents state they fi led for bankruptcy in 2019. Klosterman is accused of sexually harassing female tenants at those properties since at least 2013. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability and familial status and is enforced by the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. The Department of Justice states U.S. attorneys were prepared to introduce various pieces of evidence if the case had gone to trial, including text messages and recordings of phone calls in which Klosterman made sexual comments to female tenants and prospective female tenants. Klosterman admitted in sworn deposition testimony that he off ered to pay an “allowance” to a female tenant in exchange for a sexual relationship with her, the release states. He also acknowledged that he engaged in inappropriate sexual communications with female tenants and prospective female tenants on multiple occasions. Klosterman made comments about their physical appearances, sent naked pictures to these women and requested that they send him sexual photographs. A complaint fi led in 2018 states Klosterman engaged in unwanted sexual touching and off ered to reduce rent and overlook or excuse late or unpaid rent in exchange for sex. Klosterman evicted or threatened to evict female tenants who objected to or refused his sexual ad-

vances, entered their homes without the women’s consent and monitored their daily activities through cameras directed at their units. Susan Klosterman was also named as a defendant in the complaint. The lawsuit states she should have known of her husband’s discriminatory housing practices and failed to take action. “In this settlement, Klosterman acknowledges that the United States has evidence he sexually harassed tenants on multiple occasions,” U.S. Attorney David M. DeVillers said in the release. “He’s being held accountable under the Fair Housing Act and will pay more than $167,000 to victims of his heinous conduct.” Nearly $8,000 of the settlement will be paid to another plaintiﬀ in the lawsuit, and $2,500 will go towards a civil penalty. The consent order also bars Klosterman and his wife from participating in the rental or management of residential properties in the future. The settlement still must be approved by the court, the release states. Recently, Klosterman was arrested again and charged with menacing by stalking in a new case involving a tenant. Court documents state he caused his tenant “mental anguish by following her, showing up at her apartment and saying odd things to her.” Klosterman showed up at her place of work unannounced and uninvited and followed her on the highway, the tenant told police. Klosterman posted bond and was scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 5 for this most recent charge. Individuals who believe that they may have been victims of sexual harassment or other types of housing discrimination can contact the Housing Discrimination Tip Line at 1-800-896-7743 or email the Justice Department at fairhousing@usdoj.gov.

SPORTS GOAT: Cincinnati's top pre-playoﬀ prep football title teams Mark Schmetzer Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Yes, folks, high school football was played around here before post-season playoff s became a thing – 1959 in Kentucky and 1972 in Ohio. Welcome to the seventh installment of the Enquirer’s and Cincinnati.com’s eff orts to determine the best of the best. This time, instead of determining the greatest and most dominant of local state champions in a sport, we’re identifying the most dominant local football teams in the pre-playoff days. We’ve picked 10, starting with …

The 1962 Wyoming High School football team scored 446 points and gave up none in their season. THANKS TO JIM BARRE

Roger Bacon Athletic Hall of Fame inductee,

No. 10 – 1936 Newport Coached by “Blue” Foster and led by quarterback and captain Ralph Mussman and end Harry Walker, the Wildcats claimed the mythical state championship behind a shutdown defense that allowed a total of 19 points, which ranks tied for the 14th fewest in a season in Kentucky high school football history, according to the Kentucky High School Athletic Association website. The average of 2.1 points allowed per game ranks tied for 15th. Newport’s recreation complex is named in honor of Mussman.

No. 9 – 1970 Cincinnati Country Day Prolifi c running back Rod Gaier fueled an off ense that helped the Indians outscore opponents by a combined 394-70 while going 9-0 and fi nishing seventh in the state in the Associated Press Class A poll. Geier was named a fi rst-team all-state off ensive back while Mark Comisar was named a secondteam off ensive end for coach Dudley Hoff man’s team.

No. 8 – 1954 Elder Two ﬁ rst-team all-state picks, quarterback Dick Selcer and defensive end Dick Royer, led the Panthers to the program’s ﬁ rst-ever undefeated and untied season in Virgil Scardina’s second year as coach. Elder outscored opponents by

The 1954 Elder football state champions included, from left: First Row, Paul Kelly, Jerry Salamone, Tom Greiner, Bob Bushman, Brent Bleh, Frank Birri, Dick Royer, and managers Joe Pope and Roger Robisch; second row, Ken Busch, Jack Elsaesser, Tom Groh, Jack Feldkamp, Jim Glatthaar, Ed Wandstrat, Dan James; third row, Father Bertke, Mike Honold, Mike Quinn, John Menkhaus, Ron Hausfeld, Tony Conte and Ray Bollhauer. THANKS TO EHSPORTS.COM WITH PERMISSION FROM ELDER ATHLETICS

a combined 319-65. Center Dan James was named second-team all-state. Selcer accounted for 17 touchdowns, 11 on the ground. Halfback Paul Kelly led the team in scoring with 75 points on 12 touchdowns and three conversions. According to Elder’s website, the ballsniﬃ ng Panthers recovered 17 opponents’ fumbles and piled up 14 interceptions – six in a 46-0 win over Dayton Chaminade, now Chaminade Julienne.

No. 7 – 1957 Highlands Coach Homer Rice’s Bluebirds rolled to a 10-0 record and mythical Kentucky state championship led by a high-powered off ense that averaged 41 points per game and scored more than 40 points fi ve times. Quarterback Billy Straub, halfback Fred Crawford and fullback Gary Cochran capitalized on an eff ective line led by tackle Paul Finneseth.

No. 6 – 1969 Moeller Led by ﬁ rst-team Class AA all-state

defensive back Maek Daniel and second-team middle guard Vic Koegel, coach Gerry Faust’s Crusaders limited opponents to an average of 4.8 points per game while fi nishing 10-0 and No. 3 in the AP Class AA poll. Daniel also quarterbacked a Moeller off ense that leaned heavily on running back Randy Keith, who fi nished off the season by gaining 159 yards and scoring fi ve touchdowns on 20 carries in a 74-0 romp over McNicholas in which the Crusaders set a school single-game scoring record.

No. 5 – 1962 Roger Bacon Coach Bron Bacevich’s Spartans fi nished the season 10-0 and ranked eighth in the AP statewide poll behind a stiff defense that, led by fi rst-team all-state linebacker Jim Louder and third-team middle guard John Kesselman, grudgingly allowed a total of 32 points while scoring 356. Fullback Ty Anthony led a balanced, effi cient Roger Bacon off ense with 11 touchdowns. Louder was a 1992

No. 4 – 1949 Purcell The late Jim Bolger, a fi rst-team allstate halfback, helped coach Jim McCarthy’s Cavaliers go 10-0 while outscoring opponents by a combined 44657 and never allowing more than 12 points in any game and logging three shutouts with a defense led by linebacker Eugene Jockem. Bolger scored 17 touchdowns and backfi eld teammate Jack Martin added 13. McCarthy is generally credited with being the fi rst local high school coach to utilize the two-platoon system – separate off ensive and defensive teams. The Ohio Sports Writers Association and the Ohio High School Coaches Association both named Purcell as the state’s top team, but the AP nod went to Massillon Washington.

No. 3 – 1930 Highlands Led by another coach named Homer – Homer Jackson – the Bluebirds claimed Kentucky’s mythical state championship by going 10-0 and outscoring opponents by a combined 29812. After giving up six points in each of their ﬁ rst two games, they reeled oﬀ eight consecutive shutouts to end the season, including wins over Hughes by scores of 13-0 and 6-0 and 50-0 win over See TEAMS, Page 2B

Seton volleyball beats national No. 1 Mount Notre Dame Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Seton's ﬁ rst win against Girls Greater Catholic League rival Mount Notre Dame since 2016 may have been the sweetest. Not only did Seton put itself in position for a share of the GGCL crown, but it came by beating Mount Notre Dame as it was ranked as the country's No. 1 team by MaxPreps. The Cougars (11-1, 5-1 GGCL) had the early jump over Seton (12-1, 6-1 GGCL) in a four-set win Sept. 8, but Seton fought to a sweeping 3-0 win, 25-23, 25-10, 26-24, on Thursday. Senior Julia Marr led Seton with 16 kills and Lucy Cluxton added 11 kills.

Senior setter Maggie Jones had 37 assists while sophomore Courtney Fitzgerald had three of Seton's eight service aces. The victory for the Saints put them atop the GGCL leaderboard with a 6-1 conference record to Mount Notre Dame's 5-1 conference mark. A win or share of the GGCL title would be Seton's ﬁ rst since 1997. Seton has one more hurdle to clear in the GGCL, a visit from Mercy McAuley on Thursday, Oct. 8.

DI seedings, match-ups set for OHSAA football tournament Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS - Ohio’s pandemic playoﬀ s are set to begin Oct. 9.

Here are the match-ups, starting in Division I (all games Oct. 9 at 7 p.m) Lakota West, the highest-ranked DI team in Southwest Ohio will open with West Clermont, who missed their fi nal two games due to COVID-19 infections. The winner will face the Lakota East/ Sycamore winner. Sycamore thus far doesn’t have a regular-season game for Oct. 2 due to the West Clermont situation. This would set up a possible Lakota West/Lakota East rivalry game. The district teams normally play during the regular Greater Miami Conference season but did not due to the shortened sixgame menu mandated by the OHSAA because of the coronavirus pandemic. Mason will host Lebanon with the winner playing the victor of Colerain vs. Milford. Should the GMC schools prevail it would be the fi rst meeting between Mason and Colerain this season. Milford has an Oct. 16 game scheduled with Loveland, so an Eagles victory would change those plans. Teams eliminated from the playoff s are permitted to continue playing games through Nov. 14 to allow teams to get in the 10 games they would have normally played minus a pandemic delay. Princeton, who is in the GMC mix for a title with Lakota West and Mason, will host Oak Hills. The winner then faces the winner of Fairfi eld at Elder. St. Xavier will host Walnut Hills with that winner squaring off with the winner of Moeller at Hamilton. The Moeller/Hamilton game has some backstory as Hamilton’s Malik Verdon transferred from Moeller last fall. The Big Blue recently recorded a major win vs. Mason. Should the two Greater Catholic League-South schools advance, it would be a rematch of last week’s game won by St. Xavier 43-14.

Division II, Region 8

of note Saturday, Oct. 10 at 7 p.m.)

There are 25 teams in the DII playoﬀ s, so this includes byes. Games on Friday, Oct. 9: New Carlisle Tecumseh vs. Xenia with winner getting top seed Winton Woods on Oct. 16. Edgewood plays Columbus West with the winner taking on the winner of Troy/Columbus Franklin Heights. Talawanda faces Dayton Belmont with the winner getting No. 4 seed Kings Oct. 16. Fairborn plays Withrow with the winner playing No. 5 seed Turpin Oct. 16. Should Turpin and Kings win, they would play Oct. 23. Little Miami faces Loveland with the winner getting the No. 2 seed La Salle Oct. 16. Sidney plays West Carrollton with the winner playing Riverside Stebbins Oct. 16.

Ticket information The OHSAA were set to send playoff ticketing guidelines and information to schools on Friday and meet virtually with all playoff schools on Monday morning to discuss. According the latest order from the Ohio Department of Health and the governor, only 15 percent of the stadium’s permanent seating capacity are permitted to attend games, unless the site has been approved for a variance by the Ohio Department of Health. Note that the home team can have its band in attendance for its games, while both teams can have cheerleaders. All playoff tickets will be sold online through www.OHSAA.org/tickets and will be available starting Tuesday, Oct. 6. The Division I state championship game will be played Friday, Nov. 13. The specifi c dates and times for the state championship games in Divisions II through VII will be announced at a later date but will be played within the Nov. 19-22 date range. Sites will be announced at a later date, as well, but it is unlikely that all seven games will be played at the same venue. There will be no state championship games that happen simultaneously, as each game will have its own time slot. The other divisions will be released separately. The Enquirer will update this story. Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Oct. 1. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates.

Hall of Famer Bench to auction memorabilia Beth Harris Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The recent deaths of baseball greats Lou Brock, Tom Seaver and Al Kaline got Johnny Bench thinking about the future and the prospect of unloading memorabilia from his Hall of Fame career. He had seen Bob Gibson and Ozzie Smith sell their collectibles. Bench checked out items from Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully’s recent online auction. “You wonder, what is the best thing to do?” Bench recently said by phone. “Who does it go to?” Bench reaped the rewards of a 17-year career catching with the Cincinnati Reds: two World Series titles, 14 All-Star selections, two National League MVP awards, multiple Gold Gloves. He was leader of the Big Red Machine that won six division tiles and four NL pennants in the mid-1970s. “The memories are still there. I still am the MVP,” he said. “I’m blessed with what I’ve got and I’m enjoying my life.”

He lives in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with 30-year-old son Bobby and sons Justin, 14, and Josh, 11, from Bench’s fourth marriage. The younger boys are with him 38 weeks of the year, keeping Bench busy as a single father cooking, grocery shopping, helping with homework and shuttling them to activities. They spend the rest of the time in California with their mother. “How do you divide it up when you have three boys and you got two things?” said Bench, who turns 73 in December. “If they had said, ‘No, Dad you can’t sell those,’ it would have made a diﬀ erence. They’re two generations removed from what I did.” Bench’s items will be auctioned on Nov. 14 at the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory in Kentucky. A public preview will be held at the museum on Nov. 12-13. The sale is being handled by Hunt Auctions, the same Pennsylvania company that sold Scully’s memorabilia, which earned over $2 million. Bench’s trophies from the Reds’ World Series championships in 1975 and

‘76 carry an estimated price of $25,000 to $50,000 each. His National League championship ring from 1970 and his 1968 NL Rookie of the Year award are estimated in the same price range. The bat Bench used to hit his 389th and last home run in 1983 is estimated between $10,000 and $20,000. Among the over 150 lots are his Gold Glove awards from 1969-77, a Reds home jersey from 1983, his catcher’s mitt from the 1970s, and a painting of Bench by LeRoy Neiman. Bench’s son Bobby had already been tracking down and cataloging his father’s memorabilia, pulling items from storage in Cincinnati. The elder Bench has displayed items at his museum in his hometown of Binger, Oklahoma. Bench plans to use the auction proceeds to fund his younger kids’ college educations. “I didn’t make that much money when I played. It’s been 37 years since I retired and the money doesn’t last that long,” he said. “The boys are the world to me. I want them to have a great education.”

now-defunct Hartwell and 38-0 over Lockland. Highlands also routed Ohio Military Institute, 65-0, emphasizing their dominance on both sides of the Ohio River. End Frank Burdick made the school’s all-star team from the 1915-1953 era.

No. 2 – 1967 Roger Bacon Bacevich’s rugged Spartans outscored opponents by a combined 373-19 on the way to ﬁ nishing 7-0 in the Greater Cincinnati League – now the Greater Catholic League – and 10-0 overall, good for third in the AP Class AA statewide poll.

sey and center Jim Pease paved the way for a Cowboys oﬀ ense led by quarterback Bing Guckenberger and running backs Hal Reames, Jim Commins, Bob Goodridge and Ted Yeager that piled up 446 points. The Cowboys’ defense, featuring many of the same players, allowed none. Yes. 446-0. Opponents, including a Woodward team led by future University of Cincinnati and National Football League running back Clem Turner, managed to penetrate inside Wyoming’s 25-yard line just four times all season. Amazingly, according to the Ohio High School Athletic Association website, coach Bob Lewis’s powerful squad got no votes for the AP statewide poll, which at the time included all of Ohio’s teams in one rankings. Additionally, no Cowboy was named to an AP all-state team.

room, the only program of its kind, in 2017. Since then, nearly 5,000 students in the Greater Cincinnati, Greater Columbus and Greater Lexington areas have experienced the program. It kicks off with a visit by an Ohio River Foundation educator, who describes the freshwater mussels’ unusual characteristics and signifi cance to their ecosystems. Although they clean water, acting as a natural fi lter for our waterways, most people know little about these important animals. Many species are threatened or endangered. Following the educator visit, mussels remain in the classroom for two weeks so students can care for and study them. “Adding the ‘Russell the Mussel’ book as a leave-behind lets us share information about freshwater mussels in a new way that will benefi t students who are reading/writing learners,” said Rich Co-

Ohio River Foundation (ORF) has a new team member to help with its popular Mussels in the Classroom education program. His name is Russell the Mussel, and he’s a freshwater mussel not unlike those that inhabit the creeks, streams and rivers of the Ohio River watershed. Russell himself is a character in a Virginia Tech/U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service children’s book that bears his name. ORF spearheaded eff orts to resurrect the book, which was previously out of print. The nonprofi t will distribute copies as part of its Mussels in the Classroom program for the fi rst time this fall. It’s most appropriate for students on fourth- through sixth-grade reading levels or for teachers who wish to read the book to younger students. ORF launched Mussels in the Class-

Greater Cincinnati Foundation has approved a $250,000 loan fund to support Cincinnati area small businesses. The funds are designed to support companies that don’t always enjoy equitable access to traditional businesses loans and are more likely to be impacted by pandemic: minority- and womenowned businesses. The fund will be administered by the Economic and Community Development Institute (ECDI), a community microlender that serves small businesses

throughout the state of Ohio, providing under-served entrepreneurs with education and access to capital. The fund intends to strengthen and sustain the Greater Cincinnati local economy through COVID-19 recovery and beyond. “The demand for small business ﬁ nancial and technical assistance is unlike anything we’ve seen,” says Ella Frye, Director of ECDI’s Women’s Business Center in Cincinnati. Across the state, ECDI has closed 220 loans totaling $8 million, between April 1 and the beginning of August. Compare that to the past few years, when the organization closed an average of $7-$8 million in loans per year. Nearly 70% of loans closed since the start of the pandemic were to Black-owned businesses, while around 50% were to women-

owned. “These numbers reﬂ ect the disproportionate eﬀ ect of the pandemic on people of color and female entrepreneurships,” says Frye. “We are excited to partner with the Greater Cincinnati Foundation to help broaden our reach to these small businesses as they grapple with the crisis.” The diversity of ECDI’s client base was a key driver for Greater Cincinnati Foundation in working with the organization. Business owners in the Greater Cincinnati Area, including Indiana and Kentucky, are encouraged to apply on ECDI’s website: ecdi.org. Learn more: ecdi.org Adam Behm, Greater Cincinnati Foundation & ECDI

this fall. Classrooms operating under inperson learning will still receive an aquarium of mussels to observe for a two-week span. The program is fully booked for the fall in Greater Cincinnati and Greater Columbus, but interested teachers in those regions can submit an application for spring 2021. A few spaces remain available for schools in the Greater Lexington area for this fall. For more infor-

mation, visit the ORF website. Ohio River Foundation (ORF) is dedicated to protecting and improving the water quality and ecology of the Ohio River and all waters in its 11-state watershed. ORF works towards these goals through environmental education, conservation and advocacy activities that serve to inspire environmental stewardship for the beneﬁ t and enjoyment of current and future citizens.

In 2020, ORF celebrates its 20th anniversary of Ohio River watershed work. During its history, the nonproﬁ t has reached 50,000 students with its freshwater education programs; restored and reconnected more than 200 miles of rivers; removed four dams; planted 6,000 trees; and removed more than 300,000 invasive plants.
