Workers get pizza instead of president

AMBERLEY VILLAGE — The Big Cheese didn't come to the village Thursday to raise dough. But pizzas did show up — more than 70 of 'em.
Stanley Chesley, the prominent lawyer whose Democratic fund-raising event featuring President Clinton was canceled this week, wanted nonetheless to thank all the workers who made preparations.
So Mr. Chesley showed up at village headquarters Thursday with more than 70 pizzas. He stayed to have lunch with members of the village police department, fire and emergency response units and the public works office.
“My feeling was, in what other country can the president go to a citizen's house?” Mr. Chesley said Thursday.
“None. It can only happen with the virtue of the people who make it possible. It was something I was happy to do. I think I had more fun than anybody.”
He was joined by members of the U.S. Secret Service and police officers and firefighters from Reading, Deer Park, Silverton, Cincinnati, Golf Manor, Blue Ash and Springfield and Sycamore townships.
Thursday's event would have been the third presidential fund-raiser held by Mr. Chesley in the past year.
Village workers have spent the week on security preparations, road closures and emergency contingency plans.
