2020 WOMEN OF THE YEAR

Shawntee Stallworth Schramm spurs Westwood development Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Shawntee Stallworth Schramm moved to Westwood, lured to Cincinnati’s largest neighborhood by friends who already lived there and loved it. It was city living with a suburban touch of large yards and tree-lined streets and amazing architecture, she said. A shooting one street over, on Eugenie Lane, in 2013 was the catalyst for her going from Westwood resident to community activist to owner of Muse Cafe, a coﬀ ee shop/wine bar that is credited with helping spur Westwood’s re-development. Stallworth Schramm was named an Enquirer 2020 Woman of the Year for that work. “Muse, for me, is a living, breathing thing,” Stallworth Schramm said. “I don’t have kids. My cafe is my baby. It’s a huge part of me. I try and make people feel welcome.” Stallworth Schramm has done that and more, said Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley, who ﬁ rst met Stallworth Schramm at a Westwood Civic Association meeting. “Through her leadership, advocacy and investment as a small business owner, we are seeing that the neighborhood of Westwood is experiencing a comeback,” Cranley said. He remembers being impressed by Stallworth Schramm’s passion and dedication to Westwood. That 2013 shooting prompted Stallworth Schramm to start the WE Campaign, the W for her street, Werkastle Lane, and the E for Eugenie Lane.

Creating a model for neighborhoods The goal was to work on community matters like lighting and street closures to curb crime. Safety wasn’t just up to police, Stallworth Schramm said. A community’s residents can make a difference, too. So, she joined the Westwood Civic Association, where she served as vice president and president. Later, she got involved with Westwood Coalition, which focuses on bringing together Westwood’s many community groups. In 2015, Stallworth Shramm took her experience with WE and started Westwood Uniting to Stop the Violence, which she would later run. Like the WE campaign, it focuses on community efforts to ﬁ ght crime, but it’s neighborhood wide and not just citizens; it involves businesses and churches and so-

About Shawntee Stallworth Schramm Birthplace: Cincinnati, grew up in Springdale Current residence: Westwood Family: Husband Steve Shramm Education: Cincinnati State Occupation: Owner of Muse Cafe What she says: What inspires you to give back? “I have always been an activist. When I was in high school I created a helping our planet club; we recycled milk cartons. I was part of amnesty international. You see a need and it evolves from there.” What need in the community would you like to see addressed? “Westwood still need a strong focus on public safety, especially pedestrian safety. Drivers need to slow down at this intersection. We have had a lot of accidents and people have died, too.” Who most influenced or inspired you to care about others? “I think it’s just inside me. I think when you see how people struggle and see the things people go through you have to do something.”

cial service organizations. Stop the Violence became a model for other Cincinnati neighborhoods.

At the time, Westwood residents were focused on revitalizing the neighborhood, which is Cincinnati’s largest,

its own grand Town Hall and once-bustling business district. Everyone said: Wouldn’t it be great if there were hip places to go? A coff ee shop would be the perfect anchor to what could be so much more, was the neighborhood mantra. Stallworth Schramm, 43, was doing graphic design on a freelance basis and working at various bistros, a catering company and tending bar. In her free time Stallworth Schramm helped a friend get Ludlow Tavern in Ludlow, Kentucky, off the ground by helping with the menu. She knew something about running a coff ee shop. So, instead of waiting for somebody else to bring a coff ee shop to Westwood, Stallworth-Schramm and her husband thought, We should do that. It took research. She found the wine bar component would be helpful. And, she found a business partner. Muse opened in 2017. See SCHRAMM, Page 2A

Two Lima Republicans will lead Ohio Legislature Jessie Balmert Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS – When it comes to House leadership votes, Republicans’ decision Nov. 18 to re-elect Speaker Bob Cupp was comparatively undramatic. The decision wasn’t forced by an FBI investigation into an outgoing speaker. The decision didn’t take 11 rounds of voting. No candidate begged Democrats for support. In fact, the only potential challenger to Cupp’s bid, Green Township Rep. Bill Seitz, recently bowed out . “Ohioans expect a House of Representatives that is ready to meet the challenges we face,” Seitz said in a statement. “Bob Cupp is uniquely qual-

Zappas named executive chef of FC Cincinnati’s West End Stadium

Schramm Continued from Page 1A

By the beginning of 2020, Muse had become a destination to see music and art shows. There are wine tastings and craft cocktails. It’s exactly what neighborhood residentsdreamed of. The coronavirus pandemic has hit hard, but that tent outside of Westwood Town Hall is Muse’s, a place to still gather, just outside. Spurred by city investment and community dedication, Westwood is experiencing a remarkable transition, Cranley said. Westwood is in the midst of a renaissance. New neighbors are moving in, new businesses are opening, and community members are engaged. The Town Hall and its grounds were re-imagined. Now there’s a dog park, community playground and the grounds expanded with an amphitheater seating. “As our largest neighborhood, the success and revitalization of Westwood is key to the overall success and revitalization of our city,” Cranley said. Stallworth Schramm was an early innovator in making that happen, Cranley said. “We’re having this movement where so many people in Westwood care about what is happening and doing everything they can to change the perception of the community, change the opportunities and change what it looks like,” Stallworth Schramm said.

TriVersity’s Gravely wins Lindner Award Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Entrepreneurship and philanthropy go hand-in-hand for Mel Gravely II, the CEO of Norwood-based TriVersity Construction and this year’s winner of the Carl H. Lindner Award for Entrepreneurial and Civic Spirit. Gravely, 56, said his success as a businessman has been inextricably tied to his contributions to society, which have helped raise awareness of his business ventures, build customer loyalty and dedication among his employees. It’s a simple concept that Gravely he said he learned from his father, Mel Gravely, who was a city councilman in Canton, Ohio when the junior Gravely was a young man. “My father insisted I get on my fi rst board of directors for a nonprofi t with I was 18,’’ he told The Enquirer. “So I joined ABCD (The Association for Better Community Development, Inc.), which is still improving the quality of life for people in Canton to this day.” Gravely’s been serving the communities he’s lived in ever since, donating his time, talents, energy and resources to worthwhile causes. He came to Cincinnati in 1993 with his wife, Chandra, as a sales team leader for IBM and has served on numerous civic and charitable boards in the Cincinnati area, including chairing the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber in 2015, and serving as a board member for the ArtsWave arts and cultural organization. Along the way, he met one of his closest allies, Pete Strange – the 2015 Lindner Award winner and former CEO of West End-based Messer Construction Co. In 2009, Strange, who founded TriVersity as a spinoff of Messer in 2005, offered Gravely a share of the private construction services business, despite his inexperience. “I had no construction background at all,” said Gravely, who at the time was running his own consulting fi rm. “But I became an investor because I fi gured TriVersity had two things going for it: It had Messer as a partner, and Children’s Hospital as a client. If you can’t make a great company with that base, then you don’t deserve to be in business.’’ Gravely, who became CEO in 2011, now manages operations for one of the

TriVersity ranks 97th on the 2020 Deloitte Cincinnati USA 100 list of the region’s largest privately held companies. It’s been on the list, where companies are ranked based on the previous year’s revenues, for four years. Gravely said his volunteer work helped paved the way for his professional accomplishments by introducing him to a network of business associates he might not otherwise have met. “Most of the people I know in this city, I’ve met through my (board) service, which has resulted in some tremendous opportunities,” said Gravely, who places a high value on building positive relationships with a diverse group of people. To that end, he was instrumental in launching ArtsWave’s Flow series, designed to immerse the broader community in black history and culture. The kickoff for the Flow series was a sold-out performance in February by Dayton Contemporary Dance Co. at the Aronoff Center for the Arts in downtown Cincinnati. “Our mission was to create a place of pride for African Americans and invite others to share our experiences,’’ he said. “We did that, and watching our community embrace the arts is something I’m very proud of. Then COVID got us.” The start of the pandemic in March meant three more planned perfor-

Homearama homeowners face $10K annual assessment Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Lisa Silverthorne said her dream of owning one of the luxury homes showcased at this year’s Homearama in Cincinnati has quickly turned into a nightmare. In September last year, Silverthorne said she and her husband purchased a lot from the developer and signed a contract to build their new home in the Walworth Junction development in Cincinnati’s East End neighborhood. Silverthorne’s home was one of eight million-dollar homes featured at last month’s Homearama showcase of luxury homes, the fi rst held inside the city limits in the history of the show. But now that the show’s over and she’s preparing to move in, Sliverthorne said she and her husband are reeling from the prospect of having to pay a $10,000-a-year special assessment over the next 15 years to cover part of the development costs. Silverthorne said the couple received a letter in May from the developer, T.J. Ackermann of East End Development LLC, requesting their signatures on a petition asking the city of Cincinnati to approve the special assessment. The assessment, which city offi cials described as the largest assessment on a residential development in recent history, would apply to 38 of the 39 lots at Walworth. It would be used to cover the cost of such things as land acquisition, infrastructure improvements and environmental cleanup of the former brownfi eld site, just north of the intersection of Riverside Drive and Delta Avenue. “We had been saving for years, and we knew what our budget was, so this was a real surprise and potentially a stopper,” Silverthorne said. “We thought about walking away from the whole project, but we had too much invested.” Silverthorne said she and her husband had already spent nearly $80,000 for the down payment on the land and items such as high-end appliances and fi xtures to stage the house for Homeareama before they found out about the

assessment. She acknowledged the couple had agreed to pay an assessment and a modest homeowners’ association fee of $1,800 a year when they signed the land contract with the developer, but she said she had no idea the assessment would be so high. “In the beginning, the (cost) projections for the assessment were conservative, so we were comfortable with that,” she said, without being speciﬁ c. Ackermann said Silverthorne and the other homeowners knew what they were getting into when they signed their land contracts. “When these people purchased their lots the special assessment and the amount was disclosed to them, and they basically contractually agreed to that amount up front,” Ackermann told The Enquirer. Ackermann said the assessment is commensurate with the size and scope of the Walworth development. “We have a very challenging site that we developed due to all the remediation that was necessary...and very expensive infrastructure,” he said. “We took all the risk up front putting all that in, and worked with the city to put in the special assessment that would allow us to be paid back some of those costs.” Ackermann recently appeared at a

Cincinnati City Council budget and fi nance committee meeting along with a handful of Walworth homeowners who were there to contest the assessment, which must be approved by the city. The committee voted to postpone approval of a resolution allowing the assessment until both sides could come together to air their grievances. The homeowners have accused Ackermann of not acting in good faith and not being completely transparent. Silverthorne said she wants city offi cials to make sure the assessment is “cost justifi able” before they approve it. “We did not want to sign the document (petition for the assessment) because we could not confi rm we received accurate information from the developer,” Silverthorne told the committee. “But we signed because we did not have a thick enough skin to enter into a lawsuit.” Brendan McAndrews said he refused to be intimidated.

The owner of McAndrews Glass in Lower Price Hill did not sign the petition, making him the lone holdout among the Homearama homeowners. “I heard the developer sent a letter to the other homeowners saying there might be a lawsuit against me,” McAndrews said. “But the ﬁ rst time I heard about it (assessment) was three days before I went to close on my property. “At that time, I already had sixty grand invested that I wasn’t going to walk away from, but I also wasn’t going to pay that assessment.” McAndrews said he thinks the developer is trying to make a huge proﬁ t and get residents to shoulder some costs that the developer could have covered on his own with state and federal grants. According to an itemized breakdown of the costs of the development that McAndrews obtained from the city law department, the developer spent about $8 million on environmental remediation and soil import to the site.

New plan seeks Ohio River improvements by 2030 Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Human activity along the Ohio River reduced wildlife habitats that contributed to more than 600 species becoming threatened or endangered, according to a report from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. But, there’s a plan to improve the waterfront. The report released Oct. 21 included plans to improve the Ohio River Basin in 15 states by 2030. The report was prepared by the Army Corps of Engineers, the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO) and the Ohio River Basin Alliance (ORBA). The plan covers portions of the states of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. It aims to use the Ohio River the way states revitalized the Chesapeake Bay and the Florida Everglades, according to the release. “We have a historic opportunity to stand up for communities large and small in the region – and we are going to do it. We look forward to working with stakeholders in the region, as well as local offi cials, governors, and members of Congress to implement these commonsense solutions before these challenges get more diffi cult and costly. We have solutions, and it’s time to use them,” said Harry Stone, chairperson of the Ohio River Basin Alliance, in a press release. Here are the six priorities in the plan: h Restore the river, its tributaries, and ecosystems to protect the health of people, fi sh, and wildlife. h Address fl ooding to protect vulnerable communities and infrastructure. h Ensure there’s abundant clean water for people, fi sh and wildlife, and businesses. h Increase nature-based recreation and tourism.

h Grow water-borne commerce and ensure eﬃ cient waterborne commerce through an adequate lock and dam infrastructure. h Support research and education to inform the needs and opportunities of the region. There are dozens of strategies the groups created to improve the basin. Here are some of the goals: 1 From 2021 - 2025, grow the outdoor recreation economy at a rate that exceeds the national average. 2 By 2021, establish coalitions to address research needs and map out an Ohio River research investment strategy.

3 By 2022, develop a plan for Ohio River Basin restoration through the identiﬁ cation and protection of at-risk ecosystems. 4 By 2025, identify areas with high incidences of harmful algae blooms and prepare a strategy to reduce the number of blooms that occur in 2030 compared to 2020. 5 By 2025, identify drinking and wastewater system infrastructure needs and develop a strategy to maintain these systems. 6 By 2025, create an investment plan to address high ﬂ ood risk areas. 7 By 2025, prepare a plan to update and expand components of an ade-

quate ﬂ ood warning system incorporating climate change considerations. 8 By 2030, demonstrate that more water bodies in the Ohio River Basin meet the Clean Water Act’s drinkable, swimmable, and ﬁ shable uses as compared to 2020. “It is the hope that completing these projects is a step toward a healthy, productive Ohio River Basin,” the plan read.

While the CDC hasn't ﬂ at out recommended canceling holiday gatherings altogether, it has said large indoor gatherings can pose a higher risk than celebrating with your household. The CDC said indoor gatherings generally pose more risk than outdoor gatherings and gatherings that last longer pose more risk than shorter gatherings. The CDC has also made a list of activities that pose a certain level of risk. Lower risk activities, according to the CDC: h Having a small dinner with only people who live in your household h Preparing family recipes for family and neighbors, especially those at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19, and delivering them in a way that doesn’t involve contact with others h Having a virtual dinner and sharing recipes with friends and family h Shopping online rather than in per-

son on the day after Thanksgiving or the next Monday h Watching sports events, parades, and movies from home Moderate risk activities: h Having a small outdoor dinner with family and friends who live in your community h Lower your risk by following CDC’s recommendations on hosting gatherings or cook-outs. h Visiting pumpkin patches or orchards where people use hand sanitizer before touching pumpkins or picking apples, wearing masks is encouraged or enforced, and people are able to maintain social distancing h Attending a small outdoor sports events with safety precautions in place Higher risk activities: h Going shopping in crowded stores just before, on, or after Thanksgiving h Participating or being a spectator at a crowded race h Attending crowded parades h Using alcohol or drugs, which can cloud judgement and increase risky behaviors h Attending large indoor gatherings with people from outside of your household

Men’s Virility Restored in Clinical Trial; 275% More Blood Flow in 5 Minutes A newly improved version of America’s best-selling male performance enhancer gives 70-year-old men the ability and stamina they enjoyed in their 30’s. America’s best-selling sexual performance enhancer just got a lot better.

The Blind Pig's patio has an elevated view overlooking Third Street and Paul Brown Stadium and gas heaters for all-weather comfort. DAVID SORCHER FOR THE ENQUIRER

Hot Cincinnati patios to visit during cold weather Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Winter is coming. And that means cold and snow. But we're still in the middle of a pandemic, and so with that, there are recommendations to eat outside and not be in groups of more than 10. Cincinnati bars and restaurants are getting creative this year with how they plan to keep guests warm. There are plastic igloos, heaters, ﬁ repits and awnings, all with the intent of keeping you feeling toasty.

Here are the Cincinnati patios with plans to keep you warm: The View at Shires' Garden If you want to try something diﬀ erent, visit the View at Shires' Garden. In the theme of the seasons, the View at Shires' Garden has plastic igloos and "greenhouse terraces" that function as insulated rooms for small groups of up to 8 people. The igloos and terraces are heated and come with a bluetooth speaker. 309 Vine St., 10th ﬂ oor, Downtown.

MadTree Brewing Company With 32 MadTree brews on tap, you can enjoy a cold one while still staying warm. The brewery has heaters over certain tables and tents the entire outside area during the winter months to help curb the cold. In addition to that, MadTree has a ﬁ replace to gather around and indoor seating. 3301 Madison Road, Oakley.

AC Upper Deck In addition to panoramic views of Downtown and Northern Kentucky, AC Upper Deck has ﬁ repits and heaters to keep your warm during all inclement weather. As of late October, the Upper Deck was not sure of it's plans to return the plastic igloos it had in 2019. 135 Joe Nuxhall Way, Downtown.

Braxton Brewing Company Braxton has added plastic igloos to its rooftop bar. Each heated igloo can accommodate up to 8 people comfortably and features comfortable seating, a dedicated bluetooth speaker, warm and cozy decor, and a dedicated bartender. 27 W. Seventh St., Covington.

Comfort Station This bar is hidden inside a former public restroom. Seriously. It still has the old men's and women's entrances. How are they preparing for winter? With four big ﬁ repits, perfect for groups to gather around during cold months. 793 E. McMillan St., Walnut Hills.

Sundry and Vice This bar has a makeshift patio with limited seating but that doesn't mean they're leaving you out in the cold. Sundry and Vice is installing heaters to keep guests feeling the warmth while they drink. 18 W. 13th St., Over-the-Rhine.

Blind Pig Blind Pig keeps the front garage door closed during the winter months. If you want to venture out to the patio, the bar plans to tent parts of it in addition to having ﬁ repits. 24 W. Third St., Downtown.

Arnold's In the winter months, Cincinnati's oldest tavern covers its outdoor patio. In addition to that, the bar adds heaters to keep the back patio nice and cozy. 210 E. Eighth St., Downtown.

Hofbrauhaus Newport The German-inspired bar will be adding a tent to its beer garden, keeping the space enclosed and heated. 200 Third St., Newport.

Pepp and Delores and Sacred Beast This Italian restaurant from the Thunderdome Restaurant Group has a makeshift patio on 15th Street that is shared with Sacred Beast. The area has a tent and is insulated and heated. The tent, which has been open during the pandemic, will be enclosed during the winter months. 1501 Vine St., Over-the-Rhine.

Ivory House The new Westwood restaurant has an outdoor patio that is covered on top but open on the sides. Ivory House has added heaters in the outdoor area but does not plan to keep it open throughout the winter. 2998 Harrison Ave., Westwood.

Oak Tavern This Oakley staple has limited seating due to the pandemic, but it still has a tent and heaters ready to go. If you're looking for another reason to go, Cincinnati Enquirer reporter Sarah Brookbank taste-tested their wings and had this to say about them, "What I got was a tasty, no-frills chicken wing that put a chain restaurant wing to shame. It's the kind of chicken wing you want when you have a craving." 3089 Madison Road, Oakley.

Washington Park Porch Open Friday-Sunday. Keep up to date with opening times on their Facebook page. There are a handful of heaters out right now. 1230 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine.

Homemakers The outdoor space was an add-on during the pandemic. The patio has taken over a parking lot behind the building. The patio has several heaters. 39 E. 13th St., Over-the-Rhine.

Samuel Adams Taproom The Cincinnati brewery has a patio with heaters and a ﬁ repit as well as plenty of space to keep your distance. 1727 Logan St., Over-the-Rhine. Do you know of more heated patios? Please reach out to Briana Rice at brice@enquirer.com.

It’s ‘time to think about special food for December holidays’ Classic creme brûlée This makes eight 6 oz. ramekins. See tips below for other sizes. My instructions are for whisking by hand. Use an electric mixer on low if you want. Recipe can be cut in half for smaller batch. Ingredients 1 quart whipping cream 1 vanilla bean, pounded and split lengthwise or 1 tablespoon vanilla

Creating caramelized sugar crust.

⁄ 8 teaspoon salt

10 large egg yolks, room temperature preferred, but not absolutely necessary Instructions

Sprinkle each with about a teaspoon sugar (depending on size) in thin layer.

Preheat oven to 325. Pour cream, vanilla bean and salt into pan over low heat.

PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Cook just until hot. Let sit a few minutes to infuse vanilla before removing bean. (If using extract, add now.)

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Place yolks in large bowl and add sugar. Whisk for several minutes, until real light yellow in color.

The homes on my old country road are already getting decked out for the holidays. How about where you live? Yep, in a couple of days, Thanksgiving will be a happy memory, so it’s time to think about special food for December holidays. For me, that means saving eggs from my girls/chickens since they’re molting and egg production is not peak. Lots of my favorite Christmas dishes use eggs, including this recipe for creme brûlée. So, maybe you think this restaurant quality dessert is complicated. It’s honestly not hard to make. As usual, follow my detailed instructions, and success is yours!

Next, add cream: pour 1 cup cream slowly into egg/sugar mixture, whisking constantly. Called tempering, this prevents eggs from curdling.

Let creme brûlée cool after baking.

Baking creme brûlée in a Bain Marie/water bath insures gentle, uniform heat around the custards. That’s why you need a baking pan with high sides. Creme brûlée is a unique dessert, silky smooth custard underneath a sweet crackling sugar crust. And each one is single serve, an elegant dessert to have with self distancing still in place.

Adding sugar crust Brûlée must be cold before adding sugar crust.

1 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling

Enjoy creme brûlée, an elegant dessert for the holidays.

Brûlée will ﬁ rm up.

Keep adding cream slowly, whisking constantly.

Use kitchen torch to burn sugar to form crust, working quickly to avoid cooking custard below. Serve within 3 hours. No torch? No worries – use broiler Put ramekins on cookie sheet 2-3 inches under broiler. Turn broiler on and broil just until sugar melts and browns (you might get a few black patches) a few minutes only. What kind of ramekins work? Anything ovenproof works. Smaller ramekins take less time than larger ones.

Place ramekins in rimmed baking pan, and pour in custard until 3/4 full.

Start checking smaller ones about 25 minutes in.

Place pan inside oven, pour very hot water half way up ramekins.

Repurpose vanilla bean

Bake until custard is just set (it will still be a bit jiggly in middle) but not brown, about 30-40 minutes, depending on size of ramekins. Remove ramekins, let cool, refrigerate, covered, several hours or up to 3 days.

Bury bean in granulated sugar and use it to flavor beverages and fruit. Can sugar crust be left off? Sure, you’ll still have a lovely dessert, not creme brûlée (which means “burnt cream”).

Reds great Pete Rose tips his cap in June 2017. SAM GREENE/ENQUIRER

Rose insists he’s only made one mistake

Dave Clark | Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

In an interview with Jim Gray for his Fox News special, “Talking to GOATs with Jim Gray,” former Cincinnati Reds great and Hit King Pete Rose called betting on baseball — which Rose said he now does legally at casinos — was the only mistake he’s ever made, and suggested as he has before that he doesn’t think he’ll be elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame as long as he’s alive. “When I was betting on baseball when I got suspended, I was betting illegally on baseball. I make no more illegal bets in my life. That’s why they have casinos,” Rose told Gray. “I screwed up,” Rose added. “I should have never (bet on baseball). That’s the only mistake I’ve ever made in my life to be honest with you. And that’s the biggest mistake. I would love to go to the Hall of Fame. Any player would. But as long as this heart is beating, I’m not going to go to the Hall of Fame.” Gray is remembered by many Cincinnati sports fans as the former NBC interviewer who spoke to Rose about gambling allegations and his

ban from baseball when he was being honored in Atlanta before Game 2 of the 1999 World Series as part of Major League Baseball’s All-Century Team. Rose said he wasn’t sure why Gray was “bombarding” him with such questions during a celebration. “I didn’t quite understand what had happened,” Rose told Gray. “Do you really think if I’d come clean with you at that time, that they would have reinstated me?” In June, Rose told “Joe, Lo & Dibs” on 95.7 The Game in San Francisco that the pandemic was making it harder for someone to beat his all-time hits record and insisted that nobody will ever pass him. In the same interview, Rose suggested that “greenies” — the amphetamines many players took during his playing career — did not have anywhere close to the impact that steroids did more recently. Legendary Reds broadcaster Marty Brennaman said in September of last year that Cooperstown’s “Hall of Fame will never be whole until the day comes that Pete Rose is in it” and Brennaman’s biggest fear is “that one day, he will be in it, but he will be elected after he is no longer with us.”

La Salle football falls in state semiﬁ nals Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

UNION COUNTY — La Salle football’s bid to capture back-to-back Division II state championships for the third time this decade came to an end Nov. 13 after a 14-10 loss to Massillon Washington at Marysville’s Impact Stadium. La Salle did not trail once during the ﬁ rst 37-plus minutes, but Massillon Washington quarterback Zach Catrone connected on a 48-yard touchdown to wide receiver Martavien Johnson with 2:13 remaining, which turned out to be the game-winner. “We just didn’t have anybody deep. It’s one breakdown and the only one we had all night,” La Salle head coach Pat McLaughlin said of the game-winning score. La Salle started its last-ditch drive at its own 20. After a ﬁ rst down, the Tigers’ defense forced four consecutive incompletions to seal their spot in the Division II state championship game against Archbishop Hoban at The Fortress — Obetz. Revenge was achieved for Massillon

Washington, which lost last year’s D-II state ﬁ nal to La Salle by double digits. La Salle ﬁ nishes the year 8-3. The Lancers

won their ﬁ fth regional championship in seven seasons. “It’s one of those things that’s gonna

hurt for a long time,” McLaughlin said. After the 35-10 win over Winton Woods in the regional fi nal, McLaughlin told reporters that quarterback Zach Branam was one of the best he had ever coached and that he should be in the running to be named the Division II player of the year. Branam turned in an accolade-worthy performance Nov. 13 and was working without two of his top play-makers on off ense in coveted junior running back Gi’Bran Payne and University of Alabama commit Devonta Smith. Branam ran 25 times for a game-high 150 yards, marking the fi fth time in six games he eclipsed 100 yards on the ground. The senior raced 76 yards on La Salle’s third drive of the game, then called his own number on third-andgoal with a 1-yard touchdown that put the Lancers up 7-0 with 20 seconds left in the fi rst quarter. That drive was set up by Branam, who also played safety Nov. 13 with the absensce of Smith. Branam tracked down a deep ball and made an intercepSee LA SALLE, Page 2B

When a parent berates a young oﬃ cial Mike Bass Guest columnist

Editor's note: This is a weekly column from former sports reporter and editor Mike Bass. Bass will be contributing to The Enquirer by off ering advice for sports fans, athletes and youth sports parents and coaches through a weekly Q&A. To ask a question of Bass for potential publication, email him at mikebass3838@gmail.com. And get the conversation going on Twitter @SportsFanCoach1. Let’s go straight to the email. *** The fi rst comes from a prior email contributor, a self-described sports offi cial for more than 40 years. He responded to my story about a youth sports mom losing control and kicking a soccer ball off an offi cial’s shins: Saw the comment about the ball being (kicked) at the young offi cial. Had a parent berate a fi rst year offi cial for a whole half. When she (the offi cial) came

over at halftime, she was crying. I told both coaches what I was about to do, and they were all for it. Walked over to the parent responsible and said he had caused my offi cial to want to quit, so he will take her place. His comment, “I don't know how to do that.” Before I got the words to my mouth, several parents said he had to know how, since he was criticizing her. Gave him the fl ag and told him, if he did not do it, he would never be allowed at a game at our complex again. He took the fl ag then lined up on the wrong end of the fi eld. I publicly berated him for 30 seconds. Whenever he hesitated to say whether the ball was over the touchline, I again berated him loudly. He said he was going to quit. So I said, “So you have the guts to criticize, but do not have the (guts) to actually do the job." Good news, after the game he came over and apologized to the young lady. I told him thank you and knew we would never have trouble with him or any other parent from that team again. At least when I was offi ciating. Looking forward to more articles.

tion to thwart an early Massillon Washington scoring opportunity. “That’s what we expect out of (Branam),” McLaughlin said. “He gets an interception, gets a couple of tackles — he had to play defense so I don’t know if that had an eff ect on off ense or not, but he’s a warrior.” Branam’s interception may have been the game’s only takeaway, but the night was dominated by defense as the teams combined for eight punts and three turnovers on downs. La Salle’s defense allowed 14 points or less for the fourth time in fi ve games. The Lancers keyed in on Massillon Washington wide receiver Jayden Ballard, limiting the Ohio State commit to

just one catch for ﬁ ve yards on three targets. Massillon Washington’s oﬀ ense found some momentum in the second quarter on a nine-play, 75-yard drive.

Rick, from Cincinnati Rick, I laughed out loud when I read this. You allowed the parent to see what it was like on the other end. Talk about a powerful and imaginative way to deliver a message. Thanks for sharing this story with us. *** Last week, I highlighted an FC Cincinnati fan who found joy amid a rough season on the ﬁ eld (worst in MLS) and in the stands (closed to fans). Jeremy Lance’s #FCCBourbon hashtag invited others to virtually bond with him over a little bourbon and soccer viewing. Which spawned this email response: Don't like Bourbon, don't drink Bourbon. Couldn't care less!! Vince, North Bend When I was a sports writer or editor, I might not have appreciated getting this note. As a coach, I welcomed the start of an email conversation. MB: “Completely understand. Not everyone cares about bourbon. What helps you deal with a rough game or season or ranking?” Vince: “Maybe a tall glass of beer such as Rhinegeist Truth.” MB: “Sounds like a winner for you.

What is stressing you out most when it comes to sports or your favorite teams now?” Vince: “Not being able to attend games. I would have been to all home UC football games in 2020.” MB: “Missing games really got to a lot of people. Considering you would have attended all the 2020 home games for undefeated UC, it’s no wonder it’s stressful. What helps you deal with it?” Vince: “The fact all games have been on TV except maybe one has been helpful. I’m beginning to enjoy watching everything at home.” Which is a great beginning. Many of us are growing more frustrated each week, tired of the COVID-19 restrictions, feeling stuck. It’s understandable. When we are ready to let go, we can begin to see choices amid the new reality. Vince is starting to enjoy watching from home. He can build on that. No bourbon is necessary. Remember to email Bass at mikebass3838@gmail.com or reach out to him @SportsFanCoach1 on Twitter if you want to be included next week. His website is MikeBassCoaching.com.

The Tigers’ converted on third-and-19 on a 34-yard reception by tight end Caiden Woullard, setting up senior Jumacius Portis’ three-yard touchdown run that made it 7-7 going into the half. “The defense played well enough for us to win,” McLaughlin said. “... 14 points, we should’ve scored enough points to win, we just didn’t get the run game going early on.” The run game picked up for La Salle late in the third quarter. The Lancers started at their own 12-yard line, then embarked on a 16-play drive consisting of just run plays from Branam and running back Jack Rutz. The 72-yard march chewed up over nine minutes of clock and set up Mason Luensman’s go-ahead 32-yard fi eld goal that made it 10-7 with 7:57 remaining. La Salle would force a punt on Massillon Washington’s ensuing possession, but couldn’t run off the fi nal four

minutes of regulation. After an 18-yard punt, the Tigers’ immediately struck with their longest play of the night to stun the defending Division II champs. “These seniors, they’re champions — GCL champions, state champions, regional champions and champions in the classroom,” McLaughlin said. “Our guys battled all year and we’ll come back stronger next year.” Massillon Washington 14, La Salle 10 Massillon Washington — 0 7 0 7 — 14 La Salle — 7 0 0 3 — 10 L — Branam 1 run (Luensman kick) MW — Portis 3 run (Haines kick) L— FG Luensman 32 MW — Johnson 48 pass from Catrone (Haines kick) Records: L 8-3, MW 11-1

Students with autism benefi t from martial arts classes at Stepping Stones Every Thursday, calls of “Kiai” are heard on the grounds of Stepping Stones’ Given Campus in Indian Hill. The Japanese term echoing through the air is a joyful sound, as students of the nonprofi t agency’s Step-Up Autism Alternative Education program have resumed in-person martial arts classes this fall. With COVID-19 modifi cations in place, Master Strickland of Cincinnati Martial Arts Club in Cheviot leads middle and high school students in a series of exercises designed to develop agility, balance and coordination. “Never say I can’t – always say I’ll try,” Strickland enthusiastically calls out, encouraging students to build upon their martial arts skills in a new routine each week. Like so many, Stepping Stones’ program structure changed in the wake of the pandemic this spring with students and teachers adjusting to an at-home learning model. The continuation of in-person classes and the pride on students’ faces as they master their martial arts technique are positive measures of progress. “Master Strickland’s visits give students the opportunity to gain confi dence while socializing with their peers,” shares Educational Services Director Megan Wingerberg. “They are also a wonderful way of introducing a new skill in a positive and inclusive environment.” Step-Up was the region’s fi rst alternative education program and currently serves students from 11 local

Caitlin Reid, of Santa Ana, Calif., is the mother of two boys and two girls, ages 4 to 11. Like Margaret Farrar, the first crossword editor of The Times — who was also a busy mother — Caitlin does most of her puzzle work after the rest of the family has gone to bed. That’s when things quiet down. Caitlin is a classically trained pianist who plays at her local church. Her favorite crosswords to make are themeless ones, like today’s, that feature long, fresh, lively vocabulary and lots of humor and playfulness in the clues. This is Caitlin’s ninth crossword for the paper, including a collaboration last Sunday. — W.S.

COMMUNITY NEWS Barnes Dennig teams up with the Literacy Network Even during this unprecedented time, the employees at Barnes Dennig were gracious enough to step away from their daily responsibilities and give back to the community. The Literacy Network of Greater Cincinnati (LNGC) was grateful to be selected as one of the recipients for the 10th Annual Barnes Dennig Outreach Day. Each year, Barnes Dennig employees roll up their sleeves and generously give their time, energy and resources to assist local non-profi t organizations. Over the past few months, the Literacy Network has benefi ted from multiple book drives and donations. Most recently, they received 1,000 gently used books from Glenmary Home Missioners. Additionally, Carrie Little, a board member of LNGC generously organized a book drive on her front porch for family and friends. The Barnes Dennig crew had quite the workload in store for them that day. The team of over 20 employees spent the morning sorting books by age range and category, as well as labeling and boxing up the books, in preparation for distribution to the community. These books will be shared with partnering schools and organizations, including Boys & Girls Clubs and Cincinnati Recreation Centers. Additionally, the Literacy Network has over 80 Little Free Libraries scattered throughout the city. These small libraries provide easy access to books for those who need them most. The day concluded with book deliveries to several of the LNGC Little Free Libraries across town. 2,400 of the 3,000 books sorted that day were distributed to 12 locations. The Literacy Network is grateful to Barnes Dennig for their positive energy, support and willingness to give back. Special thanks to the Tool Bank for supplying masks and sanitizer to keep everyone safe! The Literacy Network champions the development of literacy in the individual, the family, the workplace, the school and the community by raising awareness, improving access and serving as a catalyst for literacy eff orts. All programs are free and funded with private grants, donations and fundraising eff orts. For more information, please call (513) 621-READ or visit

collectively receive $200,000 in grants from the Duke Energy Foundation. Stepping Stones plans to use the grant funds to build an on-site yurt in addition to an adjacent outdoor gardening space at their Allyn Campus, owned and supported by the Rotary Club of Cincinnati. The goal for the project is to create a nature-based programming space and learning activity for the teen and adult program participants that attend Adult Day Services, Weekend Respites, and Summer Overnight Staycations. Participants will explore activities that are more centered in nature including utilizing the yurt activity space that will bring participants closer to a traditional camping experience and garden. “It’s rewarding to partner with an organization that invests in their communities and shares our commitment to serve others,” said Chris Adams, Executive Director Stepping Stones. “We are grateful for Duke Energy’s partnership and especially encouraged for their support to serve persons with disabilities while incorporating nature and the environment.” “We value our partnership with Step-
