Complaints, police runs led to lawsuit over apartment complex Township officials step in
Quinlan Bentley Cincinnati Enquirer
In the months after Brewer’s death, the Pierce Township Board of Trustees was poised to pass a resolution declaring the complex a nuisance, citing 15 points of concern that ranged from insuffi cient background checks to debris and inoperable vehicles on the property. Royal Oaks’ management, hoping to avert the nuisance resolution, began attending trustee meetings in fall 2019 to give updates on their progress regarding the issues the township wanted resolved. However, that ended late last year. Attorney Matt Miller-Novak, who represents the owners, told trustees in October there was “no progress being made” during those meetings. He said his client would continue working with police and township planning offi cials, adding that meetings with those agencies are “where progress happens.”

Having grown up in Cincinnati , Ernest Smith didn’t think he’d have to worry about crime in suburban Clermont County. But the state of the apartment complex where he and his children live has challenged that assumption. The 39-year-old father of fi ve has been living at On the Green at Royal Oaks, also known as Saint Andrews, in Pierce Township for two years. He says the complex is plagued by drugs and, occasionally, violent crime, adding he’s had to throw away needle caps laying in the parking lot. “The drug scene has really made it worse around here,” he said. “I can’t let my kids come and ride their bikes very often because I don’t feel safe ... I’m in the process of saving to get the hell out of here because I want my kids in a better environment.” Corey Bridges, 37, lives at Royal Oaks with his wife, 28-year-old Lillie, and their three kids. Standing in the parking lot outside his apartment on a hot Wednesday afternoon, Bridges said he doesn’t let his kids play outside out of concern for their safety. “I don’t know, personally, what’s going on but cops are always here,” he said, as offi cers responded to a call just a few buildings away.
Dispatches on the rise While the management insists it’s working to make the 158-unit complex safer for residents, police dispatches to the long-troubled apartments have

more than doubled. Offi cers made 165 runs to the complex in 2015, according to court documents and data provided to The Enquirer. In 2020, police runs had surged to 386 – an increase of 134%. In comparison, the adjacent Fairways at Royal Oak, with 214 units, had 57 dispatches last year and the 144-unit Crown Crossing Apartments had 70 dispatches. Police runs to Royal Oaks for the fi rst half of 2021 exceeded previous yearly totals, with 193 police runs made from Jan. 1 to May 31, the data shows.
‘A demonstrable problem’ According to data provided by the
township, dispatches began to increase sharply in 2017 – the same year the current owners say they purchased the property. Since 2019, four people have been murdered at the complex, including Clermont County Sheriff ’s Det. Bill Brewer, who was killed during a lengthy standoff in February of that year. “I would say after detective Brewer’s death was when we really started to look into our statistics ... to, initially, really determine if we had a problem or if that incident was more of an anomaly,” Pierce Township Trustee Nick Kelly said. “What we determined is that a demonstrable problem was going on over there ... And it just got progressively worse.”
Owners claim to be cooperating Kelly said the public meetings are a matter of accountability, but owners argue many of the concerns raised by the township were addressed. Court documents say the property is held by one or more limited liability corporations owned by Gene Jacobson, who lives in Fountain Green, Utah. It was purchased in March 2017. “Within several months, Royal Oaks had completely resolved many of these fi fteen points and made signifi cant progress on others,” Jacobson said in an affi davit fi led in Clermont County Common Pleas Court.

Kroger buys old Sears store at Eastgate Mall Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Kroger has acquired the old Sears department store at Eastgate Mall. In July, the Cincinnati-based grocery store giant paid $5.5 million for the former mall anchor at 4595 Eastgate Boulevard, according to Clermont County property records. The company could not immediately be reached for comment on its planned use for the property. Sears declared bankruptcy in 2018 and shut down its Eastgate Mall loca-
tion in the fall of 2019. More than 100 Sears and Kmart stores were closed across the country from 2019 through 2020. Besides Kroger stores, the Downtown-based grocer operates several regional supermarket chains in 35 states, including Fred Meyer, Harris Teeter, Ralphs, Mariano's, Fry's, Smith's, King Soopers, QFC and others. The company has nearly 2,800 stores and employs 465,000 workers. Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – July 30.

Critical race theory: What is it, really? Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Varying defi nitions of critical race theory, or CRT, have circulated in online groups, public school board meetings and dinner conversations for the last several months. Some parents who oppose the theory say it shames white students into thinking they are “racist” or “bad.” Some proponents of the theory in schools say it helps with diversity and inclusion initiatives. But do those arguments have anything to do with CRT, really? CRT, an academic fi eld of study like philosophy, sociology or economics, has lived among us for years before the recent social media rants and heated debates. It hasn’t lived in K-12 classrooms, experts say, but in academia.
What is critical race theory? CRT scholars defi ne the theory slightly diff erently, but at its core are three main components, said Rodney Coates, professor of global and intercultural studies at Miami University. Coates has been teaching sociology and social justice at Miami for 32 years, including courses on critical race. Coates’ components: 1 Observing multiple viewpoints and voices in order to understand America. For example, Coates said, looking at the year 1776 from the vantage point of a Native American would tell a diff erent story than through the eyes of a slave, and diff erent still from the voice of a British colonist gaining independence in the newly formed U.S. 2 Looking at bias in systems, practices and policies. The war on drugs, for example, disproportionately incarcerated young Black men. 3 Working to make those systems and practices equitable. Coates said many people want to reduce racism to individuals. “That’s problematic,” he said. And it’s not CRT. CRT does not look at the behavior of individuals, Coates said. It does not analyze bias in specifi c people or events, but in processes.
Based in legal studies, taken out of context Gary Peller, professor of law at Georgetown University, defi nes CRT as a lens or approach to understanding the role of race in American society. The theory was born after the Civil Rights Movement and began in legal studies in the 1970s and 1980s. “We began, in the 1980s, questioning the assertion of standards and the ideas of merit to see whether they really were race neutral or they were themselves tainted by a racial history, which is really what we concluded,” Peller said. Legal scholars used the theory to start challenging claims that the legal system was neutral to race. Scholars in education and sociology caught wind of the theory and adopted it soon thereafter, Peller said. But the way CRT is being discussed now in common dialogue is problematic, Coates said. We now have “non experts” on both sides trying to lead discussions without having studied CRT or having an understanding of its background and use. CRT can’t be trademarked, Peller said. It will likely continue to be misused. “Critical race theory has been made a kind of villain by Christopher Rufo, a kind of one-man campaign to exploit white anxiety about race,” Peller said. “And he’s kind of pinned everything on critical race theory.” Rufo is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and director of its critical race theory initiative. He’s written in a USA TODAY opinion column that CRT is a form of “race-based Marxism” and is, in K-12 schools, a “form of state-sanctioned racism.” Following last summer’s protests in response to the killing of George Floyd, Peller said, many institutions have given more attention to race, including perhaps in
People gathered Monday outside Nagel Middle School with signs denouncing critical race theory, and demanding it not be allowed in teachings or staff trainings at Forest Hill School District. CHRIS MAYHEW/THE ENQUIRER

K-12 curriculum. But eff orts to include the viewpoints of diff erent races in history lessons are not necessarily CRT – that’s just telling American history, Peller said.
Are diversity and inclusion efforts considered critical race theory? No, according to Coates and Peller. Diversity and inclusion initiatives and trainings focus on the behaviors of individuals. CRT focuses on systems, structures and policies. CRT does not blame people for acts of racism, but looks to systems for change. Coates said current individuals cannot be held responsible for their entire race, their history or their family – which is why diversity and inclusion trainings focused on individual change “don’t work” and are not in line with CRT.
Is critical race theory taught in K-12? No. Both Coates and Peller said CRT is too complex to be taught in K-12 classrooms. “These are college-level conversations,” Coates said. He said some of his top students at Miami still struggle with the ideas of CRT. “The idea that it would be easily taught in K-12 is kind of ... it doesn’t really make any sense to me,” Peller said. “It’s hard stuff . It’s asking you to critically examine assumptions that we all make. And so if it were being taught in K-12 I would think it would be a cause for wild celebration that teachers (were) doing such a fantastic job.”
Invasive spotted lanternfl y found in Greater Cincinnati Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
The invasive, destructive spotted lanternfl y has been spotted in Greater Cincinnati. The species was recently found in Indiana for the fi rst time, Indiana Department of Natural Resources offi cials said. The infestation was found in Switzerland County, within two miles of the Ohio River and the Markland Dam. Offi cials said this is the farthest west the insect has been found. A homeowner in Vevay spotted the insect in the larvae stage and contacted the Department of Natural Resources. An investigation found an infestation in a woodlot adjacent to a few homes in the area, Indiana DNR offi cials said. Lanternfl ies are native to Asia and were fi rst discovered in the United States in Pennsylvania in 2014. They are known for being hitchhikers. The insects are known to feed on almonds, apples, blueberries, cherries, peaches, grapes and hops as well as hardwoods such as oak, walnut and poplar, among others, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Offi cials believe that the bug will thrive in Ohio, according to the Columbus Dispatch. The adults are easy to spot. Adult spotted lanternfl y has two sets of wings, and
Nonetheless, bills aimed at banning CRT from K-12 schools have been introduced in many states, including Kentucky and Ohio. The bills have similar language. Both bills, if approved, would prohibit school districts and teachers from discussing, promoting or otherwise using materials on a dozen topics, including: h That any one race or sex is “inherently superior to another” race or sex. h That any individual is “inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive” by virtue of their own race or sex, “whether consciously or unconsciously.” h That any individual “bears responsibility for actions committed in the past” by other members of their same race or sex, or should feel “discomfort, guilt, anguish” or any other “psychological distress” on account of their race or sex. h In Kentucky’s bill, that the U.S. is “fundamentally or irredeemably racist or sexist.” h In Ohio’s bill, that slavery in the territory now known as the U.S. “constituted the true founding of the United States.” In late June, Gallatin County School District became one of the fi rst districts in Kentucky to ban CRT. District superintendent Larry Hammond wrote that the board’s decision refl ected its desire to not create “greater divisions” among students and staff . “The Board also believes no individual is ‘inherently racist, sexist or oppressive’ due to their race or sex, ‘whether consciously or unconsciously,’” Hammond’s statement to The Enquirer reads. In Ohio, anti-CRT protests erupted in Anderson Township outside of Forest Hills School board meetings in May and June, though district Superintendent Scot Prebles said CRT is a doctoral-level theory and promised it would not be intentionally taught to district students or staff . “Notice I said not intentionally,” Prebles said.

Apartment Continued from Page 1A
The owners made improvements when the property was purchased, and over the past several years, an additional $5.3 million has been invested toward “running, maintaining, and rehabilitating” the complex, Jacobson said.
Little evidence of improvement Trustees said they see little evidence of those improvements. “... We really weren’t seeing any fruits of that labor. If they were doing anything, it wasn’t showing in the police runs and in really the aesthetic of the place,” Kelly said. Jacobson pointed to improvements made at the township’s request such as repairs to asphalt and siding, new security lighting and fi xes to fi re code issues that were brought to the management’s attention. In June, an independent building inspector found the outside stairs for more than a dozen buildings were “severely deteriorated to the point of being unsafe.” The report was commissioned after someone fell through an outside staircase leading to the secondfl oor apartments. Assistant Fire Chief Gary Auff ert told trustees during a special meeting on June 28 that this was the complex’s third such stair collapse in the past fi ve years.
‘A lawless atmosphere’ Prosecutors in Clermont County have taken matters into their own hands, fi ling a lawsuit in May that seeks to have the court declare the property a nuisance and appoint a receiver to take control of it. They allege the ownership and management “have created a lawless atmosphere, welcoming drug dealers and murderers into the community.” Prior to Brewer’s death, the township’s last murder was in 1987, Pierce Township Police Chief Jeff Bachman said. Clermont County Sheriff ’s Offi ce Lt. Dominic DeRose said in an affi davit that illicit drug sales to undercover offi cers have occurred there since 2019, adding nonresidents use the complex as a place to buy and sell narcotics. DeRose was shot the same night as Brewer. They were ambushed while attempting to enter an apartment in which they believed a suspect had taken his own life. Prosecutors allege the management has knowingly allowed drug-related off enses to be committed there and tenants who report illegal activity to police have been threatened with eviction. In documents, owners denied those allegations and asked the court to dismiss the county’s lawsuit, saying prosecutors didn’t give proper notice or allow time for the alleged issues to be remedied. A temporary injunction was issued by the court on June 15, requiring the management to act whenever

they’re made aware of criminal activity and barring them from accepting new tenants convicted of violent or felony drug off enses in the past 10 years. Royal Oaks’ owners are more than willing to work with the government but they weren’t contacted, said Miller-Novak, attorney for the owners. A trial in the case is set to begin in November, court records show.
‘We’re not omnipotent’ In addition to the security lights and cameras, lease agreements were amended as well, so tenants caught with drugs in their possession can be evicted. Off -duty police offi cers are occasionally hired to patrol the complex, court documents said. Pierce Township police started meeting regularly with the complex’s management after trustees passed a motion in June 2019 directing that a safety plan be crafted for Royal Oaks. Police Chief Bachman’s priority at those meetings was to improve tenant screenings, he said. At the time, the management was conducting its own background checks but they agreed to hire a company, Bachman said. But he questions whether the management is following through. Smith, who lives at the complex, has felony convictions more than a decade old. He said he started renting at Royal Oaks because “it was an easy place to get into when I needed a place.” He isn’t against tenants having a criminal history as long as they’ve turned their lives around. “... But it doesn’t seem like that’s happening around here,” he said. “Now, you look at me, I’ve been through the wring-
er,” Smith said, motioning to the tattoos covering his arms. “But I’ve changed my life.” Miller-Novak said claims that his client is failing to conduct adequate background checks are “untrue.” “As far as we’re concerned, it’s fantasy,” he told The Enquirer, adding there are records of tenant screenings and testimony has been submitted in court as proof of that. At Royal Oaks’ last meeting with trustees in October, the attorney presented data that showed more than half of the complex’s tenants had been screened through its updated background check process. He told trustees that the remaining tenants would likely be screened within the next year. Although it’s not uncommon for a family member or signifi cant other to put their name on the lease and omit the name of the person who has a prior felony conviction, Bachman said. Miller-Novak said his client would act if made aware that was happening. “We’re not omnipotent,” he said. “If someone defrauds us, how are we supposed to know that?” He said the management isn’t to blame for the rise in police runs and any assertions to the contrary are “absolutely unfair.”
‘Work in progress’ Bachman describes Royal Oaks as “a work in progress.” When Bachman started as a patrol offi cer in 2002, the complex was a frequent stop for police. But crime there has risen to the point that now it’s the department’s main focus. Many people living at Royal Oaks are just trying to get by, he said. “They don’t want to go out there and fi nd needles in the parking lot.” Bridges and his family mostly keep to themselves – he doesn’t even know his neighbors’ names – but he worries about his kids growing up in an unsafe environment. “I’d like to move but it’s just hard right now,” he said.
A balancing act No one seems to know why police are making more and more runs to the complex each year. But one thing is clear: the more time offi cers spend responding to calls at Royal Oaks, the less they’re able to patrol elsewhere. It’s a balancing act to ensure the rest of the township’s safety while also applying added resources to the complex, Bachman said. “I’d love to have an offi cer stationed at (Royal Oaks) 24 hours a day but that’s not feasible or reasonable.” Despite what the current owners say, Bachman believes the complex’s previous owners had a better handle on the situation. “I don’t want people to hear gunshots ... I don’t want people to die there. And I don’t want offi cers’ lives in jeopardy there,” Bachman said. “If it needs a receivership or a third party, then yeah, I’m all for that.”

1 cup all purpose flour
Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
Whenever I mention sharing my “best of ” recipes – the seasonal ones that have become cult favorites – there are several that get requested this time of year. Rated high on the list are zucchini bread recipes (after all, ’tis the season …). In particular double chocolate zucchini bread and classic zucchini bread. So I’m sharing both for you. The fi rst recipe is for “chocolate zucchini bread/cake.” Maybe you’d like to make it and then let me know which camp you’re in. The other is from Susan Zugohoer, a Northern Kentucky reader and an expert baker. Susan won a blue ribbon at the fair for this bread and kindly shared it to me a long while back.

fessional baker from Clermont County, does peel her zucchini before measuring for her quick breads. Why squeeze moisture out? Zucchini is notorious for a high moisture content which can make batter too moist/runny. Don’t over mix quick bread batters. Blend everything well but don’t go overboard. You’ll wind up with a too dense loaf. Freeze zucchini: Measure out more than you think you’ll need. Some texture and volume are lost when thawed.

Restaurants that opened or closed in July Keith Pandolfi Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
July, again, had more good news than bad news as far as our local restaurant industry goes. While we lost a great bourbon bar, a Hyde Park staple and a relatively new location of our beloved Sleepy Bee Cafe, we also gained an excellent bakery, a suburban food park and the fi rst brick-and-mortar locations of a popular Asian street food joint.
Restaurants that closed in July Sleepy Bee on the Fly “It is with a heavy heart that we are closing ‘On The Fly,’ “ the owners of the restaurant, located at 3440 Burnet Ave., next to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, posted on their website recently. “We are grateful for your support and patronage this past year. It has been an adventure and we are very fortunate to have had the chance to meet you all,” the post continued. The Sleepy Bee Cafe locations in Oakley, Downtown and Blue Ash will remain open. Keystone, Hyde Park After 10 years of service, Keystone’s Hyde Park location at 3384 Erie Ave. closed its doors on July 18. This time for good. After originally closing in December 2019, the restaurant, which is owned and operated by Four Entertainment Group (4EG), reopened in April 2020, serving carryout and delivery and functioning as a ghost kitchen during the height of the pandemic. The Keystone locations in Clifton and Covington will remain open. The Horse & Barrel Bourbon House The bourbon bar, located at 625 Walnut St., Downtown, closed its doors on July 24. The owner, Tavern Restaurant Group, plans to use the space to expand Nicholson’s restaurant and the Backstage Event Center, which it also owns.
Restaurants that opened in July The Cutaway at Oakley Kitchen Food Hall The crew from Longfellow recently opened an East Side outpost of their beloved OTR bar. The Cutaway Bar joins eight food stalls at the new Oakley Kitchen Food Hall, where it will serve beer, wine, “weird soda” and cocktails, among other things. 3715 Madison Road, Oakley, oakley-kitchen.com. Clear Mountain Food Park Billing itself as one of the largest food halls in town, Clear Mountain Food Park features rotating food trucks serving everything from Philly cheesesteaks from East Coast Eatz, to shrimp and grits from A Lil Taste of Soul. It also ofl fi ers ve music, indoor and outdoor seating as well as outdoor games and activities. 2792 Old Ohio 32, Batavia, clearmountainfoodpark.com.
Wings from Dope! Asian Streetfood. PROVIDED
The Red Feather Larder at Dutch’s After much anticipation, Dutch’s, the Hyde Park pony keg that originally opened in 1947, has been reborn yet again under the ownership of Brad Bernstein, who also owns the Red Feather restaurant in Oakley. The restaurant, grocery and pony keg are off ering hundreds of beers and wines, as well as a menu that includes a duck confi t and duck prosciutto sandwich with cheese and apple-fennel slaw, as well as a Cuban, a Reuben and an Italian sandwich. Plans are to expand the menu soon. Follow Dutch’s on Facebook for more details. 3378 Erie Ave., Hyde Park, 513-407-8449, dutchscincy.com. Dope Asian Street Fare While Dope already has two locations – one inside Kroger’s Downtown food hall and one inside the Kroger in Anderson Township – the Hyde Park location is its fi rst standalone spot. Strategically situated across the street from the Wasson Way trail, the Asian street fare restaurant off ers several styles of ramen, banh mi, bao buns and cold noodle dishes, among many other dishes. 2912 Wasson Road, Hyde Park, thisstuffi sdope.com. Hard Rock Cafe Yes, Cincinnati fi nally has a Hard Rock Cafe. The Queen City location opened this month in the former Jack Casino complex. The cafe features feel-good, whisk-the-world-away cocktails including hurricanes, mojitos, pina coladas and margaritas, as well as decadent burgers, steaks, sandwiches, wings and nachos. 1000 Broadway St., Downtown,513-250-3150, hardrockcasinocincinnati.com.
Boomtown Biscuits and Whiskey A second, far more suburban location of chef Christian Gill’s popular Pendleton restaurant, Boomtown Biscuits and Whiskey, opened in Union, Kentucky, on July 9. The original location opened in 2018 and was co-owned by Gill and the late PJ Neumann. The restaurant is known for its homemade biscuits served with a variety of gravies including sawmill and goetta versions, as well as its classic bourbon cocktails. 9039 U.S. Highway 42, Union, Kentucky, 859-3845910, boomtownbiscuitsandwhiskey.com. La Cantina Chef Anthony Sitek and the team behind Cincinnati’s Crown Republic Gastropub, Over-the-Rhine’s Losanti steakhouse and Rosie’s Cocktails & Pies have opened a new cantina-style pop-up restaurant inside Crown Republic, Downtown. The pop-up will be open on Tuesday evenings from 5-9 p.m. According to La Cantina chef Johnny Curiel, all of the food on the menu is gluten-free. “It was important to us to make a menu that anyone can enjoy,” said Curiel. “The menu we have created is a modern take on some traditional Mexican dishes, we really think people are going to love it.” 720 Sycamore St., Downtown, 513-246-4272, crownrepublicgastropub.com. The Bread Bar at Giminetti Bakery After temporarily shutting down, the Giminetti bakery and cafe is back in action with a brand new chef and menu. Chef Cory Colton, a Maine native who moved from New York City to Cincinnati for the job, off ers a wide selection of house-made pastries, breads, as well as soups, sandwiches and salads. 2900 Gilbert Ave., Walnut Hills, 513-751-7655, giminetti.com. The Golden Corral Buff ets are back! While the national restaurant chain announced the permanent closure of its Florence location last November, a Facebook video recently announced that the restaurant, with its all-you-caneat buff ets, is offi cially back in action. 4770 Houston Road, Florence, 859-534-1414, goldencorral.com. Taco Fuerte This new food truck, now permanently located at Braxton Brewing Company’s Barrel House location in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, is now open Thursdays through Sundays off ering a variety of tacos, including birria and roasted portabella mushroom versions, as well as chips and salsa and other beer-friendly appetizers. 5 Orphanage Road, Fort Mitchell, 859-331-0296, braxtonbrewing.com.

President Joe Biden’s town hall event at Mount St. Joseph University precipitated perennial questions about the relationship of religion and politics generally, and Catholic faith in the United States particularly. The controversy surrounding the visit illustrates the tension that will always persist when religious believers either publicly express the practical implications of their faith in a pluralist society, or else seem to set that faith aside for the sake of political ambition. In either case, events like this highlight the confusion that often persists between religious devotion and political loyalty. In his famous 1961 book, "We Hold These Truths," the late American priest and political theorist, Father John Courtney Murray, S.J., asked whether Christians should consider the two clauses of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution as "articles of faith" or "articles of peace." While Father Murray posed the issue in terms of the First Amendment, the thought experiment can be applied more broadly to the kind of commitments that religious believers should (or can) give to the moral and political principles that inform American law and public policy. The question is important, because each respective choice sets a person in one of two irreconcilable trajectories. If American principles of individualism, pluralism and religious neutrality are "articles of faith," they are the doctrines that defi ne one’s moral and political commitment, subordinating claims of religious doctrine to themselves. This is the person who might claim to embrace certain moral doctrines in his personal life, but who says that she will not impose those personal beliefs through legislation or public policy. Her primary moral commitments are to the rights of individual private conscience, without recourse to particular religious doctrines that might inform them. Because everyone has the same rights of conscience, these rights have priority over the doctrines of any particular religious tradition. Religious belief is qualifi ed by, and subordinated to, American pluralism. When religious doctrine meets American individualism, religion must yield. If, on the other hand, American principles of pluralism and individual conscience are considered to be "articles of peace," one’s commitment to them is sincere, but qualifi ed. This person recognizes that it is not practicable for ev-
ery moral doctrine of a religious tradition to be implemented in a pluralist society, even though the best society would include them. But the presumption is that the best society will include legal and policy expression of those doctrines. The presumption might be overcome in some cases for the sake of public comity, but that should be the exception, not the rule. And the exception should not apply to principles of fundamental justice that, this person believes, can never be compromised. In this view of the relationship between religious faith and political identity, the latter is qualifi ed by, and subordinated to, the former. When political pluralism meets fundamental doctrine, pluralism must yield. To be sure, the lines are often not clear. The respective holders of these distinctive postures toward American pluralist individualism are sometimes diffi cult to distinguish from one another. And it gets even murkier when (as very often happens) proponents of both these perspectives confuse political identifi cation with religious faith. When this happens, we think we are espousing teachings consistent with our religious faith, but in reality our moral convictions are more informed by partisan loyalty than religious doctrine. While there might be coincidental overlap, the commitments that inform our proclivities have more to do with political party affi liation than church membership. This is a bipartisan issue. We see the tendency across the political spectrum, even though the particular moral positions vary widely. For example, if a person is strongly committed to protecting unborn children from abortion but indiff erent to the plight of immigrants or racial injustice, are her positions informed by the Christian commitment to life or Republican Party politics? Or if a person strongly supports a generous immigration policy and opposes capital punishment, but supports abortion "rights," are his inclinations informed by the Christian commitment to the poor and downtrodden or Democratic Party politics? The test is easy to administer, but the results may make us uncomfortable. If all my moral commitments are exactly the same as the policy positions of my political party, then my moral life is not formed by Catholic doctrine, but rather by party platform. We saw examples of this inside and outside the auditorium at Mount St. Joseph’s University, and on both sides of the proverbial aisle. Kenneth Craycraft is the James J. Gardner Family Chair of Moral Theology at Mount St. Mary's Seminary & School of Theology. The views expressed are his own.

America’s top memory M.D. reveals the startling reason why “senior moments” may be caused by fish oil — and the #1 way to fix it fast
M
ore than 16 million Americans suffer age-associated cognitive impairment. And according to nationwide research, these numbers are only rising.
Thankfully, anti-aging specialist and bestselling author, Dr. Al Sears, says there’s an easy way to banish senior moments for good. It’s a safe, natural compound that can grow the brain significantly bigger. And unlike failed solutions that promise what they can’t deliver, this one actually works — at least, according to studies from Framingham, Stanford, and other reputable universities. But in order for it to work, you must avoid using run-of-the-mill fish oil supplements. “The worst thing you can do for your memory,” explains Dr. Sears, “is to supplement with fish oil.” Dr. Al Sears, a highly-acclaimed MD — who has published more than 500 studies — says today’s low-grade supermarket fish oil is causing the surge in America’s memory crisis. “These cheap oils are no longer as nutrient-dense as they once were,” he explains. If you want to get rid of embarrassing senior moments and grow the brain significantly bigger, Dr. Sears recommends a different approach.
THE SECRET TO A LASTING MEMORY Research has shown our paleo ancestors were able to grow bigger and smarter brains by eating foods rich in one ingredient — DHA. “Our hippocampus thrives off DHA, and grows because of it,” explains Dr. Sears. “Without DHA, our brains would shrink, and our memories would quickly fade.” A groundbreaking study from the University of Alberta confirmed this. Animals given a diet rich in DHA saw a 29% boost in their hippocampus — the part of the brain responsible for learning and memory. As a result, these animals became smarter. The same was found in human studies, too. A prestigious university analyzed the brains of over 1,100 women. And according to brain scans, DHA grew significantly bigger hippocampal brain regions. Conversely, after analyzing more than 1,500 seniors, the Framingham study found that those whose brains were deficient in DHA, also had significantly smaller brains — a characteristic of accelerated aging and a weakened memory. And lastly, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study from Columbia found something remarkable. 485 senior men and women were put through a series of rigorous mental and visual tests.
“Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to boost levels of DHA simply by eating more fish or fish oil,” explains Dr. Sears. “DHA in fish oil has plummeted over the years.” The ingredient Dr. Sears is referring to is called ALA — a compound found in cheap, grocery store fish oil.

Fish farming has caused DHA levels to plummet and ALA levels to rise, according to Dr. Sears. “In order to produce DHA,” he explains, “fish need to eat a natural, marine diet, like the one they’d eat in the wild.” Without a marine-rich diet, most fish won’t produce DHA. Dr. Sears uncovered that sometime during the 1990s, fish farmers stopped giving their animals a natural, DHA-rich diet and began feeding them a diet that was 70% vegetarian. “It became too expensive for farmers to feed fish what they’d eat in the wild,” explains Dr. Sears. “And since more than 80% of fish oil comes from farms, it’s no wonder the country is experiencing a memory crisis. Most people’s brains are shrinking and they don’t even know it.”
Why the ‘brain fuel’ ingredient in fish oil is slowly drying up. “Since fish farmers are depriving these animals of their natural diet, ALA levels in fish oil are going up, while DHA levels are being cut in half. It’s no wonder people’s brains are shrinking,” , explains Dr. Sears. When asked, what can people do to improve their memory and brain function in the most effective way possible? Dr. Sears replied, “Find a quality DHA that doesn’t come from a farmed source. Only this will help improve memory by growing the brain significantly bigger.” Dr. Sears and his team have been working tirelessly for the last 24-months developing a unique brain-boosting formula called Omega Rejuvenol. It’s made from the most powerful source of DHA in the ocean, squid and krill — two species that cannot be farmed. According to Dr. Sears, these are the purest and most potent sources of DHA in the world, because they haven’t been tampered with. “Omega Rejuvenol is sourced from the most sustainable fishery in Antarctica. You won’t find this oil in any stores.”
MORE IMPRESSIVE RESULTS Already, the formula has sold more than 27,000 bottles. And for a good reason, too. Satisfied customers can’t stop raving about the memory-boosting benefits of quality-sourced DHA oil. “I see a noticeable increase in my brain function. I’m experiencing a noticeable increase in my concentration level and productivity throughout the day,” says satisfied customer, Timothy B. “It’s great to remember everyone who played in the ‘75 World Series. My memory has never been sharper,” says Mike T. “After the first time I took it, I experienced mental clarity and focus. I noticed my mental function improve and I could concentrate better and be more productive throughout the day,” raves John F. And 70-year-old Mark K. says, “My focus and memory are back to age-30 levels.” These are just a handful of the thousands of reviews Dr. Sears receives on a regular basis thanks to his breakthrough memory formula, Omega Rejuvenol.

SPORTS Anderson football names family zone in honor of late coach Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
ANDERSON TOWNSHIP - Less than a year and a half after the untimely passing of beloved Anderson High School assistant coach Danny Celenza, his family will be honored on Meet the Team Night. Among the festivities planned for Aug. 17 is the dedication of the Celenza Family Zone in honor of Danny, who died suddenly in March 2020 at age 37, leaving behind wife, Sarah, daughter, Ruby, and son, Jasper. Celenza was a fun-loving assistant basketball coach and was slated to join the football forces. He made friends easily and touched many lives in his time at Anderson and previously at Cincinnati Christian. “It’s pretty dang amazing to have people want to honor what was important to Danny,” Sarah Celenza said. “It’s so remarkable to me that he left such an impression on the students and the staff and all of the school families.” Her family has trudged on, attending sporting events, including Ruby’s and Jasper’s many competitions. Sarah has shown her toughness in many ways including recently pulling a snake out of the family garage in front of the kids. In between, she hustles Jasper to football practice and attends PTA meetings. The Celenza Family Zone will now forever honor the man the “DC” initials represent on uniforms. The new benches unveiled will be made of thousands of bottle caps gathered by a Forest Hills School District service group called 9United who sorted through the donated caps in mid-July at Cherry Grove United Methodist Church. Bottlecaps to Benches as it was known was done with the cooperation of the Anderson Athletic Boosters. The bottlecaps used are plastic caps and lids, not metal. Information on donations is at www.9united.org. “I love it and I’m really happy about it,” Sarah Celenza said. “The hope is that people gather there for non-sporting events too. I think it would be neat if SALT Danny Celenza (Student-Athlete LeadPROVIDED PHOTO ership Team) groups met there.” “I hope by the time the kids are in high school, it’s just a pure sense of pride, like yeah, that was my Dad.” Sarah Celenza said of the project. While head coach Evan Dreyer will be focused on unveiling his new Raptors football team Thursday, Aug. 19, at Princeton, he also looks forward to seeing the Celenza Family Zone in full force at Anderson’s home opener Aug. 27 against Clinton-Massie. “It’s really meaningful to being able to have fans back at the game but also to do a tribute to a guy who gave so much to our school, our community and our kids,” Dreyer said. “It’s a special time to be an Anderson Raptor because he represented what was the best about it. I think Danny is sitting up there in heaven looking down upon us thinking how much our community has adored him. We love his kids. He’s impacted us throughout a lifetime.” As far as Raptor ball, Dreyer has coached the Eastern Cincinnati Conference passing leader in four of fi ve seasons since 2016. Jackson Kuhn likely would have been the leader in 2019 had he not suff ered a lateseason injury. Taking over for Kuhn is junior Griffi n Scalf, one of the bigger quarterbacks the school has had at 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds. His teammates often use the term “cannon” to describe his arm. Scalf and the Raptors will be scattered about as the free-wheeling Dreyer hopes to get 80 plays off per game. Fast-playing NCAA teams can hit 83 and Dreyer would like to match that fi gure to off set some of the top

defenses on the schedule. “I think Griffi n has improved through basketball season and being able to run,” Dreyer said. “He’s a pretty big boy now. His football IQ is pretty high. The athletes here have been tremendous: Multi-sport athletes that come out, catch the ball and run around.” Scalf has two of the top ECC receivers back in Joey Faulkner (65 receptions, 840 yards in 10 games) and Evan Upchurch (50 for 821). A versatile weapon that the University of Tennessee noticed is 6-foot-6-inch, 230-pound Brody Foley who committed to the Vols in May. Foley caught 25 passes for 233 yards last season and also played defensive line where he notched a fumble recovery and interception. He’s bullish on his senior year prospects in Anderson’s wide-open offense, given the extra practices allowed this summer by the OHSAA. “I think we’ll be really good and conditioned,” Foley said. “I think we can score from anywhere on the fi eld. We can take them long in the vertical pass game but we also can run our Buck Sweeps on the outside. With what we have at the skill positions, there’s no reason
we shouldn’t put up 500 yards per game plus.” If Foley goes to the defensive line, it gives Anderson a couple of twin towers with 6-foot-6-inch Cole Hinkle next to him. Behind them is 6-foot-2-inch, 225-pound, high-motor linebacker Casey O’Toole. O’Toole has offers from Lake Erie and Capital now but could see more if the defense improves. Last year’s squad scored plenty but twice gave up more than 50 points. O’Toole and others are politely reminded of that during tense moments of practice. “It’s just fl ying around and having fun,” O’Toole said of this year’s defense. “I’ve just been trying to do as much as I can to help this team.” O’Toole also has family in his ear with older brother, Jimmy, returning to Anderson to coach and cousin Will Karwisch playing linebacker right next to him. Top games ahead on the Anderson schedule are a trip to Kings Sept. 10, a home tilt with defending ECC champion Winton Woods Oct. 1 and their annual rivalry with Turpin on the Spartans’ fi eld Oct. 22. “Our end goal is ECC champions,” Foley said. “That’s the goal, getting the No. 1 seed going into the playoff s.”

Greater Cincinnati high school football coaches victory leaders
Quarterback Johnny Mattress with Princeton coach Pat Mancuso in 1988. THE ENQUIRER/ GARY LANDERS
Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
With the coronavirus pandemic limiting football schedules in 2020, many Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky teams did not achieve 10 wins, a number that normally signifi es a successful season. In Ohio Division I, St. Xavier won 10 and ended with a state title romp against Pickerington Central. Likewise, in Kentucky Class 2A, Beechwood was victorious 10 times and claimed a state title. For perspective, a football coach would have to win 10 games for 20 seasons to achieve 200 wins, a milestone in any sport. However, only a select group has accomplished that feat. Here's a listing of Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky's winningest coaches on the high school gridiron:
1) Terry Malone, Badin Malone had racked up 360 victories with the Rams when he retired in 2003. (The state leader is Jim France out of Akron who won 401.) Malone's triumphs included a 1990 Division III state championship against Richfi eld Revere.
2) Bob Schneider, Newport Central Catholic Schneider led the Thoroughbreds for 44 seasons winning 345 games, including three state titles (Class A in 1984, AA in 2005 and 2006).
3) Pat Mancuso, Princeton Mancuso won 323 games between the Vikings and Leetonia. Mancuso won three state titles with Princeton in 1978, 1983 and 1987. In 37 seasons, he never had a losing record. HIs name now graces the fi eld at Princeton.
4) Bernie Barre, Wyoming and Beechwood Barre has the distinction of success on both sides of the river, fi nishing with 317 wins. He led the Tigers between 1975 and 1990 and coached the Wyoming Cowboys from 1990 to 2011. At his alma mater, he won 182 games, but his lone state title came in 1984 with Beechwood. Wyoming's fi eld is named after Barre.
5) Dale Mueller, Highlands Mueller won 11 state titles with the Bluebirds where he won 250 of his 309 career victories. The rest came in Ohio at Withrow and Sycamore. At Highlands, his teams were nationally ranked eight times and reached No. 3 in USA TODAY polls in 2009. He coached former NFL players Jared Lorenzen and Derek Smith at Highlands as well as current University of Cincinnati quarterback coach and Bearcat Hall of Famer Gino Guidugli, along with his tight end brother Ben.
6) Owen Hauck, Boone County Of Hauck's 284 career wins, 210 came at Boone County where he won a state title in 1964. Hauck's name is on the Boone County stadium where he coached former NFL MVP Shaun Alexander. Hauck also won 48 games at Highlands and 26 in Ohio at Mount Healthy.
7) Bob Lewis, Wyoming Another veteran who has a stadium named after him at his most famous stop, Lewis won 270 career games with 198 coming at Wyoming between 1956 and 1978. Prior to that, he won 23 at Marysville. Post-Wyoming he won 49 games in Kentucky at Conner between 1979 and 1985. Lewis won Wyoming's fi rst state title taking the AA trophy in 1977.
Super Bowl-winning Pittsburgh Steeler Dwayne Woodruff .
13) Ken Osborne, Williamsburg The Williamsburg fi eld is named for Osborne who coached for over 30 years there winning 207 games. The majority of the wins were with the Wildcats but he did coach Goshen for one season.
Where is Gerry Faust, Steve Specht, Kerry Coombs, Doug Ramsey etc.?
11) Tim Dunn, Cincinnati Country Day
What about Moeller's Gerry Faust? Well, he departed Moeller with fi ve Ohio state titles and four mythical national championships between 1962 and 1980. When he left for Notre Dame he had 178 career wins. You may also be wondering where some current coaches rank as many have had great success for a number of years. St. Xavier's Steve Specht has won four state titles with the Bombers and is at 157 wins. Ironically, his friend and rival Tom Bolden of Lakota West is also at 157 after many years at Colerain and the last two seasons with the Firebirds. Slightly ahead of both is former Colerain coach Kerry Coombs who won 161 with one season at Loveland before his 1991-2006 tenure with the Cardinals. Coombs has since coached with the University of Cincinnati, the Tennessee Titans of the NFL and is currently back at Ohio State a second time as the Buckeyes secondary coach and defensive coordinator. Inching near 200 is Elder's Doug Ramsey at 195 wins in 24 seasons with a pair of state titles and two state runner-up seasons. The legendary Bron Bacevich whose name graces Roger Bacon's stadium had 150 wins with the Spartans. His high school career, including Indiana put him at 300 victories and put him in the National Federation of High School Associations Hall of Fame.
In 29 seasons, Dunn won 219 games and made the state semifi nals twice.
What high school football coach has the national record for most wins?
12) Ron Bird, New Richmond
John McKissick in Summerville, South Carolina, coached 63 seasons and won 621 games between 1952 and 2014. Among his top players was former Bengal A.J. Green.
8) Steve Rasso, St. Xavier Rasso is in the Ohio Football Hall of Fame and recorded 189 of his 249 wins with the Bombers. His other head coaching stops included Covington Catholic, La Salle and Mariemont. St. Xavier was state runner-up three times under Rasso.
9) Jim Place, several schools Place won 245 career games, according to OHSAA records with stops at Northwestern, Beavercreek, Stebbins, Middletown, Chaminade-Julienne, Hamilton, Withrow and Ponitz. His 2002 Chaminade-Julienne squad was a state champion.
10) Lynn Ray, Covington Catholic Ray won 234 games as head coach of the Colonels including fi ve state champions in 1987, 1988, 1993, 1994 and 1997.
This former member of the Alabama Crimson Tide coached the Lions to 209 wins. Among his players were

Bethel is fortunate to have a Ministerial Association Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist
Howdy folks, I had quite a surprise today. I was picked up by Dan and we went down to Poochie’s and met Dennis for lunch. Poochie’s was full and they were glad to see all of us. Poochie’s, like other businesses, have a sign saying they need a cook. The meal was great as usual. It was great to see all of them. Bethel is fortunate to have a Ministerial Association. They are having a school prayer walk at the Bethel schools on Aug. 15 in the evening. The Grange put booths in the fair again this year. The Junior Grangers booth was so beautiful and the judges
gave it a 100. The subordinate Grange booth was great and the judges gave it 95 which was good. Then the Pomona Grange booth, the judges gave it a 95 and that was good. It takes a lot of work to get these booths put in. The Lytle’s took me over on Saturday before the fair started to see each of the booths. There is a black cat that lives here and is deaf. I was watching the ball game and it came to the door and looked in so I opened the screen and sit down. It fi nally came in and looked the house over. Then it sat down by my feet for a while. I didn’t have any cat food but I will get some. It was good to have the cat in here. On Wednesday morning, I went out for a ride before lunch and saw three fellers that work at the Nurre Funeral home so I went over there and got the surprise of the day. I asked who the fu-
3B
neral was for and they said Rick Houser. Now I have known Rick Houser for many years. His dad was my second dad. Rick has written an article in the paper for many years, and it was a good article. He will be missed not only by me but other folks. The meal at Burke Park on Wednesday evening had a good crowd. They had hotdogs, cookies and a package of Cheetos. The group responsible for this was a church from Batavia, Real Life. There was a big number of the church people there. They were doing a fi ne job and had lots of food. Now for the fi shing report. I talked to Sherry’s Lake and the lady said she had caught a 30 pound blue catfi sh and there were some 40 pounders and 30 pounders caught. They are catching lots of channel catfi sh, some carp and some bluegills. There also was a bass caught
in the lake. I didn’t even know they had put them in the lake. I talked to Cedar Lake and the fi shing is extra good. The lady said she had weighed in a 46 pound shovel catfi sh, a 44 pound blue catfi sh, a 40 pound shovel head, and a 33 pound shovel head. The lady said the channel catfi sh are really biting good. Both of these lakes keep their lakes stocked up good. I talked to the Boars Head Bait Shop and the lady said Mike is fi shing in a lot of fi shing tournaments. She didn’t know how he is doing but the fi shing in East Fork is good. The lake has the algae on it but folks are still catching plenty of crappie and other kinds of fi sh. They are catching a musky every once in a while, and plenty of channel catfi sh. God bless all ... More later ...
celebration and private screening of “Space Jam: A New Legacy” on July 29. Kinship care describes a situation in which loved ones welcome a grandchild, niece, nephew or other relative to live full time in their home when children are unable to live with their parents. Kinship care is the most desirable living arrangement for children in these situations. “Kinship care is often an excellent solution for children in the foster care system because family providers are more aware of the individual circumstances in a child’s life,” said Rická Berry, vice president of child welfare for Beech Acres Parenting Center. “Kinship providers are amazing, loving people and we are thrilled to say thank you to them and the children in their care with this fun day at the movies.” Theresa Outlaw, from West Price Hill, is a kinship caregiver who joined Beech Acres for the movie screening. She has received support from Beech Acres for three years and is currently caring for six children – nieces, nephews and grandchildren – between 2 and 16 years old. “I may not be a wealthy person, but my kids will never know that for all the
love and support I give them,” Theresa said. Through its Kinship Connections program, Beech Acres provides extensive support for kinship care providers. Beech Acres off ers education about resources available such as fi nancial, health care and food assistance. Kinship care providers can access help in becoming licensed foster parents. Beech Acres also opens doors to a network of peers for camaraderie and emotional support. Kinship care providers can also take advantage of Triple P – the Positive Parenting Program, which is designed to prevent and treat behavioral and emotional problems in children before they arise. The program creates family settings that encourage children to realize their full potential. Learn more about the Kinship Connection program by visiting beechacres.org/kinship-connections, emailing kinshipreferrals@beechacres.org or calling (513) 233-4846. Peter Osborne

Matthew Stock, who turns 25 this month, works for a math-education nonprofit in East St. Louis, Ill. The idea for this puzzle came about in January, when he was on a long road trip and passed a Honda Odyssey. He reinterpreted the name as ‘‘Honda odyssey’’ (small ‘‘o’’), which aptly described what he was on. That bit of wordplay didn’t make it into this puzzle, but similar ones with other brand names did. This is Matthew’s sixth Times crossword, and his second Sunday. — W.S.
