he Showboat Majestic has found its permanent home just 20 minutes upriver from Cincinnati. The New Richmond Village Council agreed Feb. 9 to allow the Showboat Majestic to be moored along the riverbank in town for 10 years, according to Village Administrator Greg Roberts. The Showboat Majestic had called Cincinnati home for more than 50 years but has been on the move since it was sold to Adams County couple Joe Brumley and Cortnee Brumley in 2019. After purchasing the boat, the Brumleys moved it to Moyer Winery in Manchester, Adams County, which burned down in June 2019. After ownership decided not to rebuild, it was time to move the boat. As recently as a few weeks ago, Joe Brumley was in talks with Maysville, Kentucky and was planning to move the boat there, according to the Ledger Independent. According to Roberts, Brumley recently called the Mayor of New Richmond, as Administrator he was also looped into the conversation. “I said ‘What do we need to do?’” Roberts told the Enquirer. Roberts said Brumley grew up in New Richmond, so not only is the deal bringing the beloved landmark “closer to home,” but it’s also a bit of a homecoming for the new owner.
Bringing Showboat Majestic to New Richmond will support existing businesses on Front Street, along the banks of the Ohio River and add to the town’s historic backdrop. “Our riverfront is already historic,” Roberts said. “It just adds to the rich history of the town and will be a centerpiece for our riverfront and economic development.” Roberts said it’s the “perfect addition,” adding that the town’s skyline hasn’t changed since the 1880s. Next up for the town is improving the riverfront. Roberts said the village will ask Clermont County for funding for capital budget improvements to the public landing, where the Showboat Majestic will be docked. “I can’t wait. It will be beautiful,” Roberts said. “This is the beginning of some signifi cant improvements for New Richmond. It’s a shot in the arm for economic development, not just for New Richmond but all of Clermont County.” Local businesses shared their agreement to the sentiment. “The offi cial word at the Village Council meeting tonight was the Showboat Majestic will be moored at the riverbank and open for business here in New Richmond soon and for the long-term,” The New Richmond Business Association posted on Facebook. “This is an exciting opportunity for our village.” Jeff Blom, President of the Clermont County Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the organization looks forward to promoting new programming at the historic venue.

John Filson was one of the founding fathers of Cincinnati, but he never saw it. In 1788, he was a partner in a venture to start up a settlement along the Ohio River. Filson had completed the initial survey of the basin where Cincinnati would later set and had contributed a name. He called it Losantiville. Then, Filson disappeared in the wilderness near the Great Miami River before the fi rst settlers arrived. Much of what is known of Filson’s early life has been cobbled together with conjecture. It is supposed he was born about 1747 (one biography says 1753) in Chester County, Pennsylvania. A historic register lists a John Filson as an ensign with the Pennsylvania 1st Regiment Flying Camp during the Revolutionary War who was injured and taken prisoner during the Battle of Fort Washington in New York in 1776. The portrait of Filson is based on a sketch found on the fl yleaf of a book with his name next to it. He was a teacher and surveyor in Pennsylvania. In about 1782 he acquired some land in Kentucky, which was then part of Virginia. He relocated to Lexington where he taught school and traveled throughout the region, chronicling his meetings with the early settlers, including a fellow called Daniel Boone. In 1784, Filson published the book “The Discovery, Settlement and Present State of Kentucke” along with an invaluable map. See LOSANTIVILLE, Page 2A

Losantiville Continued from Page 1A
“When I visited Kentucke, I found it so far to exceed my expectations, although great, that I concluded it was a pity; that the world had not adequate information of it,” Filson wrote. “I conceived that a proper description, and map of it, were objects highly interesting to the United States…” The book and map sold for $1.50. There were 1,500 sold. Filson asked George Washington to write a letter for a second edition, but the general politely declined because the map wasn’t based on surveys. The most remarkable part of the book was the appendix, containing “The Adventures of Col. Daniel Boon” (the spelling of his name hadn’t been formalized). Filson had listened to Boone’s stories and “published them from his own mouth.” The book established Boone’s legend, tales of rescuing his daughter and two women who had been abducted by Shawnee warriors, of being captured and adopted into a Shawnee tribe, of his escape and defense of Fort Boonesborough and of the defeat at Blue Licks, the last major battle of the Revolutionary War.
Founding Losantiville Filson entered a partnership with Mathias Denman and Col. Robert Patterson in August 1788 to start a new settlement. Denman had purchased 747

acres from John Cleves Symmes, who owned more than 300,000 acres in what is now Hamilton, Butler and Warren counties. Denman was a land prospector from New Jersey, Patterson a colonel in the Kentucky militia who had helped establish Lexington. Filson was brought in as a surveyor with the hope that he could write something to drum up interest from prospective settlers. They placed an ad in the Kentucky Gazette: “The subscribers, being proprietors of a tract of land opposite the mouth of the Licking river, on the northwest side of the Ohio, have determined to lay off a town upon that excellent location. The local and natural advantages speak its prosperity, being equal if not superior to any on the banks of the Ohio between the Miamis. ...” Filson concocted the name Losantiville from several languages (“L” for Licking, “os” is Latin for mouth, “anti” is Greek for opposite and “ville” is French for city), meaning “city opposite the mouth of the Licking River.” Historian Lewis Collins called Losantiville “a pedagogical and unmusical name” and wrote, “The invention of such a name was positively cruel in Mr. Filson; we hope it had no connection to his early death.” On or near Oct. 1, 1788, Filson accompanied Symmes to survey more of the territory, including what would become North Bend. Filson became separated from the party and was left alone in the woods near the Great Miami River. He was never seen again. Everyone presumed he was killed by hostile Shawnee, but his body was never found. Israel Ludlow replaced Filson as partner and surveyor of Losantiville. Flatboats arrived at the Ohio River shore on Dec. 28, 1788. Ludlow made his own plan of the new settlement, and that is what was used. In 1790, Gen. Arthur St. Clair, the president of the Northwest Territory, came to inspect the new Fort Washington. He disliked the name Losantiville and offi cially named the settlement Cin-

cinnati after the Society of the Cincinnati, an organization of Continental Army offi cers that took inspiration from Roman leader Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, who gave up power to return to farming. Washington was called the American Cincinnatus. “The governor has made Losantiville, the county town, by the name of Cincinnati, so that Losantiville will become extinct,” Symmes wrote. Filson is remembered more as the fi rst Kentucky historian than for his role
in founding Cincinnati. The Filson Historical Society in Louisville is named for him. But there is a tiny lane off Celestial Street in Mount Adams called Filson Place with an incredible view of downtown Cincinnati.

Why Ohioans shouldn’t judge Portman on how he handled Trump Jason Williams Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Let’s show a little appreciation for Portman, who announced Jan. 25 that he will not seek a third term in 2022. The Bush Republican has been criticized in recent years for not standing up to Donald Trump more consistently. The criticism is fair. But it would be shortsighted to remember Portman only as the guy who played a four-year game of footsy with Orange Man. The Greater Cincinnatian tried to rise above the public squabbles over the former president’s tweets and childish behavior. Portman always feared a public fi ght with Trump would endanger his legislative eff orts, the stuff that matters most to 11.7 million Ohioans. Portman should be applauded for working hard to keep his focus on policy and decorum amid intense criticism from Democrats and protests at his house and offi ce in recent years. In a bubble of empty suits and blowhards, Portman stands for the important things. He’s never sought celebrity status during his three decades in Washington. “Our country is polarized right now,” Portman said. “It’s kind of shirts and skins. That makes it more diffi cult to fi nd that common ground, because elected offi cials aren’t rewarded for that. What they’re rewarded for is throwing out the red meat on a talk show. That isn’t conducive to solving the serious problems we face in this country.” Portman’s wife, Jane, summed up her husband perfectly: “He is honest. He’s hardworking. He’s humble. He’s smart. In these crazy, turbulent, toxic, polarized political times, Rob has still somehow been able to keep a sense of decency and his sense of decorum and is still able to get things done.” The criticism has bothered Portman, but he’s never cracked publicly. He’s never snipped at anyone on Twitter, in Senate chambers, on the campaign trail – or even in his front yard. His staff loves him because he treats them with respect and wonks out about policy. In summer 2019, a group of gun-control advocates showed up outside Portman’s house in Terrace Park. Jane, who embodies the same class as her husband, went out and talked to the peace-

ful group. She let them know her husband wasn’t home, but was aware of their concerns. “We respect you,” Jane Portman told them. “Your message has been heard. You’re welcome to be out here, and I hope you have a good evening.” After Mrs. Portman spoke to the protesters, I called her a “class act” on Twitter. Sen. Portman thanked me. He didn’t have to do that, but it’s the kind of guy he is. He loves his wife, his family and his job. I’ve always appreciated the respect Portman and Ohio’s senior U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown have shown each other. They couldn’t be more diff erent politically, but I don’t recall them ever publicly criticizing each other in the decade they’ve worked together on Capitol Hill. Brown, a Democrat, put out a nice statement Jan. 25, saying he and his wife, Connie, wish Portman and Jane well. Call me Pollyannish and old school,
but we need more of that in Washington. And in Columbus and at City Hall. Portman fi rst arrived in Washington in 1989 as a legislative aide to thenPresident George H.W. Bush. Like Portman’s late father, Bush was a World War II veteran. Portman considered Bush a mentor, and they talked regularly until the former president’s death in 2018. “His general approach was that without civility, it’s impossible to get people to trust one another and therefore to do what’s best for the country,” Portman said. Portman called me after my Trump Country column ran in October 2019, saying he appreciated me pointing out the struggles in Ohio’s Appalachian region. Like Brown, Portman has a heart for struggling rural and working-class Ohioans. Portman has done a lot of work to fi ght the opioid crisis. I asked Portman what he hopes to be remembered for.
“Legislation,” Portman said. “I’m kind of old-fashioned. I view myself as a lawmaker. Getting on the Sunday shows or cable shows or talk radio is not my idea of what I ought to be doing. It’s about passing legislation and also being involved in oversight. That helps people in their daily lives.” In typical Portman fashion, he went down a rabbit hole talking about opioid legislation. He can bore you for hours with policy talk. But boring doesn’t sound so bad right now, doesn’t it? It’s unfortunate that the political three-ring circus is partly the reason why the 65-year-old Portman is calling it quits after his term expires next year. Perhaps never before has Washington needed more Rob Portmans. Contact Enquirer political columnist Jason Williams by email at jwilliams@enquirer.com and on Twitter @jwilliamscincy

Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making mortgage payments. More than 1 million seniors have taken advantage of this “retirement secret.”
It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 45% of their total net worth. And with interest rates near all-time lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most out of your built-up equity. But, many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period. According to new statistics from the mortgage industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.19 trillion dollars* of unused home equity. Not only are people living longer
misconceptions. For example, a lot of people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a HECM loan, which is not the case. In fact, one key advantage of a HECM is that the proceeds will first be used to pay off any existing liens on the property, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who might be better off with a HECM loan don’t even bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve heard. In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s

With home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted when looking for the best long-term outcome. All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement. It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required with a government-insured HECM loan; however the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees. Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement. Although today’s HECM loans have been improved to provide even greater financial protection for homeowners, there are still many
number one HECM lender, found that over 98% of their clients are satisfied with their loans. While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners - especially in times like these. The cash from a HECM loan can be used for almost any purpose. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills or helping other family members. Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a safety net for financial emergencies. If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more so that you can make the best decision - for your financial future. It’s time to reverse your thinking

*Source: https://reversemortgagedaily.com/2019/12/17/senior-housing-wealth-reaches-record-high-of-7-19-trillion Reverse mortgage loan terms include occupying the home as your primary residence, maintaining the home, paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. Although these costs may be substantial, AAG does not establish an escrow account for these payments. However, a set-aside account can be set up for taxes and insurance, and in some cases may be required. Not all interest on a reverse mortgage is taxdeductible and to the extent that it is, such deduction is not available until the loan is partially or fully repaid. AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. AAG charges interest on the balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance.

VIEWPOINTS Your ex has no say over your Social Security benefi ts Allworth Advice Amy Wagner & Nathan Bachrach Guest columnists
Question: F.M. in Anderson: I was married for 22 years and divorced last year. My ex keeps saying that I have no right to his Social Security benefi ts, and that he’ll call Social Security to keep me from getting anything. Is he right? A: Your ex-husband is not correct. You have every right to claim what’s called an exspousal benefi t (assuming you meet certain criteria). In order to be eligible to claim this exspousal benefi t, you must have been married for 10 years or longer, you must be currently unmarried, you must be at least age 62, and the ex-spousal benefi t must be more than what you would receive based on your own work record. It is not necessary for your ex-husband to already be claiming in order for you to claim this benefi t, but if he’s not, your divorce must be at least two years old. It also doesn’t matter if he’s remarried. If you meet these criteria and start claiming at your Full Retirement Age (FRA), you would receive 50% of his full benefi t (this is the maximum you can receive). If you start claiming before your FRA, the amount would be reduced on a sliding scale. (Note: ‘Delayed credits’ don’t increase this benefi t amount, so it doesn’t make sense to wait past your FRA to claim.) If you ever remarry you can no longer claim this benefi t (you
would have to claim off your own work record or your new spouse’s work record). If you decide to claim this benefi t, you’ll need your marriage license and divorce decree when applying. You’ll also need your ex’s Social Security number. If you don’t know it, you’ll likely be asked for his birthday, place of birth, and names of his parents so the Social Security Administration can look him up. The Allworth Advice is that you shouldn’t worry about your ex’s infl uence on this situation – because he doesn’t have any. He doesn’t have to ‘approve’ this, he can’t tell the Social Security Administration what to do, and he’ll never know when you start claiming this benefi t. In fact, the simple act of you claiming an ex-spousal benefi t will not aff ect his own benefi t at all. If you have more questions, it can be helpful to call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 or visit ssa.gov. Q: Tim in Clermont County: I recently noticed that my paycheck got smaller, and I’m not sure why. Did Biden enforce some sort of tax increase? A: Did you by chance also notice a slightly bigger paycheck during the last four months of 2020? If so, we can take an educated guess as to what might be going on: You’re being forced to pay back money from the temporary ‘payroll tax holiday’ President Trump announced last year. Here’s a refresher: From September 1 through December 31, private companies could elect to temporarily suspend the 6.2% payroll tax from workers’ paychecks that goes towards funding Social Security (federal employees and active-duty military members were required to participate).
This was intended to help boost workers’ take-home pay as the pandemic raged on. But right from the get-go this was not a tax cut. It was merely a deferral. All along, workers were expected to eventually pay back that ‘extra’ money they were pocketing – starting in 2021. And now these workers (and you) are getting a bit of shock to see that come to fruition in the form of double payroll tax withholding. Here’s the Allworth Advice: Because there’s no word yet on if the Biden administration will make changes to this payback plan, you should plan accordingly and get accustomed to this smaller paycheck through the end of April.

Jam session: ‘I think of orange marmalade as sunshine in a jar’ Classic orange marmalade Citrus fruits have a naturally high amount of pectin, so there’s no commercial pectin needed. Now if all you have are oranges with seeds, just remove seeds. I like thinner skin/peel juice oranges, less expensive than navel oranges which have thicker peels. Ingredients 4 large seedless juice oranges, 3 pounds or so/about 10 cups after slicing 2 large lemons or 3 medium lemons 8 cups sugar 8 cups water Instructions Wash and dry oranges and lemons. Cut both in half crosswise. Then cut in very thin half moon slices. Discard seeds. Place sliced fruit and their juices into a big pot. Add 8 cups water and bring mixture to a boil, stirring often. Remove from heat, stir in sugar until dissolved.

Guess what I woke up wanting to make today? Orange marmalade! All because of the windfall of thinskinned, super juicy oranges friends Bob and Bert brought me. If you’ve never made orange marmalade, I hope this recipe makes you want to try. I’ve actually got two recipes for you: one a classic stove top recipe and another cooked in the crockpot. Here’s the deal: check out the price of a jar of real orange marmalade made from oranges, lemons and sugar (no high fructose corn syrup or other additives). You’ll experience sticker shock. Orange marmalade is not hard to make. Don’t let the large amount of sugar throw you. Remember, you’ll be eating small spoonfuls (hopefully). And the lovely citrus aroma that
Place a small amount on saucer and refrigerate until cool and just slightly fi rm. It shouldn’t be runny, or hard. If runny, cook a bit longer – if hard, add a bit more water. Pour into jars, seal and let cool to room temperature.

wafts from the pot as you cook the marmalade will convince you all’s right in your world. I think of orange marmalade as sunshine in a jar.

Glen Este, Wright State product Peyton Burdick off to MLB spring training with Miami Marlins Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
UNION TOWNSHIP - It’s an adventure many young men have played out in their heads. Then, they wake up. For Peyton Burdick, his life-long dreams are as close to reality as it gets. Soon, the former Glen Este High School three-sport star will pack his bags, throw them in the bed of his Ford Raptor F-150 pickup and blaze out of the snowy, Cincinnati winter to Jupiter, Florida. That’s where the spring training home of the Miami Marlins is located. Burdick was their third-round draft choice in 2019 out of Wright State, so Hall of Famer former Yankee Derek Jeter, part-owner and CEO of the Marlins, signed off on him. After two stops in A-ball, the righthanded-hitting outfi elder has been invited to major league spring training camp and is warming up the truck. Some of his bags will contain Louisville Slugger bats and Wilson gloves. Others will have Adidas merchandise, another sponsor of the former Trojan and Raider great. When you play as well as Burdick has, sporting goods manufacturers want you to use their product. Last fall, Burdick was fi nally able to play ball in Miami’s fall instructional league as MLB wrapped up its shortened-pandemic campaign. Heads turned and balls fl ew. No longer a 170Burdick pound high school kid, Burdick is a powerful 210 pounds now and close enough to 6-feet to have it listed on his bubble gum card. “It was six weeks long,” Burdick said of his time as a fall Floridian.”We got game-ready in a week then played games for fi ve weeks. It was nice to be able to do something as not a lot of people got to do baseball stuff (in 2020).” Burdick was ranked as Miami’s No. 16 prospect in 2020 and experts have him pegged higher for 2021. He followed the instructional league with a two-week hitting camp and was named the Marlins top instructional league performer by Baseball America. “It’s nice to go down there and get in front of the front-offi ce people and get the opportunity to go down there and go to big-league spring training,” Burdick said. “I keep my head out of some stuff . I don’t look too much at rankings, I just leave that to people who like to keep track of that kind of stuff . I like to keep my nose to the grindstone.” Like his brother Tyler, Peyton Burdick
Peyton Burdick in 2019 hit .407 with 15 home runs, 72 RBI with 24 steals in 214 at-bats, earning him Horizon League Player of the Year. PAUL R. GIERHART
left Glen Este (which later merged with Amelia to form the current West Clermont High School) with enough purple letters to fi ll three jackets. Both played football in the fall, basketball in the winter and baseball in the spring. Tyler won that tally 11 to 10, “Those were the glory days,” Burdick said chuckling. The brothers are as competitive as their father Ty and his older brother Shawn were at Anderson as multi-sport stars. Ty went on to play football at Toledo and Shawn punted for the Cincinnati Bearcats under Watson Brown and Dave Currey in the early to mid-1980s before getting NFL looks at Tampa Bay and Dallas. Tyler Burdick is now a Marine and with the siblings’ weight-lifting regimen, they could probably earn a decent living as tag-team pro wrestlers fl ashing “the guns” if either of their careers doesn’t pan out. Given their drive and determination, that’s doubtful. Right behind his brother, Peyton was a four-year baseball player at Glen Este hitting .387 with a homer and 19 RBI as a senior, plus he was a strikeout pitcher when called upon. He was the Eastern Cincinnati Conference Co-Player of the Year in 2015. In basketball, he was a key role player for the Trojans, ready to take a charge or rough someone up for then-coach Dave Caldwell. As a football player for Nick Ayers he was also an ECC First Team performer. With baseball being his ticket, he went to Wright State and hit .289 his fi rst sea-
son with four homers and 31 runs batted in 63 games in 2016. In 2017, Tommy John surgery sidelined him. When he came back he had bulked up and it showed with a 2018 season that saw him hit .347 with nine homers and 65 RBI in 56 games as the Raiders made it to an NCAA Regional. He followed up in 2019 at .407 with 15 long balls, 72 RBI and 24 steals in 214 at-bats, earning him Horizon League Player of the Year. “I changed my whole baseball career when I got in the weight room and invested in myself,” Burdick said. “It’s not really swinging harder. It’s putting the weight on to have the weight behind the bat when you swing. As you progress, you’ll eventually fi gure out your swing.” Shortly after, he was a third-round pick of the Marlins, where he was invited to Miami to take some batting practice swings after being the team’s Low-A MVP. In 2019, in six games at Batavia (New York) and 63 games at Class A Clinton (Iowa) he blasted 11 homers and drove in 64 runs while hitting .308 and playing as a corner outfi elder. “I don’t think there was one moment where I didn’t have a smile on my face,” Burdick said of big-league BP. “You get to see how the big-leaguers are living and take batting practice with them and hang out. We got to see Juan Soto hit because they were playing the Nationals. You want to play against those guys one day and it just feels good to be in that moment.” He followed 2019 up when the Marlins eventually reconvened their minor-leaguers in Jupiter with the successful 2020 fall instructional league boosting his

stock. While waiting to hone his skills in warm weather, Burdick has trained and hit at Elite Strength and Conditioning in Maineville and Pro Force in Milford with other professionals. Awaiting him some 15 and a half hours away via the Ford Raptor pickup is a players-only parking spot with access to palm trees, sunshine and a major league training table. “At this point, it’s great to get out and see all the work you’ve been putting in the whole time,” Burdick said. “It’s going to be nice to see what kind of work you were doing in the off season and how it’s going to pay off for you.” Burdick will gladly take any number assigned to him but would prefer the unique No. 88 he wore at Wright State. His next signifi cant number is 24, which he turns Feb. 26. There are worse things to do than celebrate a birthday in Florida in late February. In addition to his parents and Tyler, Peyton has two younger sisters. All are looking forward to watching their famous relative mash baseballs. Actually, both sets of grandparents are planning Florida “snowbird” getaways with the ultimate goal of catching Peyton in uniform for the Marlins in March. Peyton Burdick looks forward to seeing them and introducing them to his favorite Marlins player. “Your favorite player’s got to be yourself, right?” Burdick joked. The Marlins Grapefruit League opener is Saturday, Feb. 27 against the Cardinals with whom they share the complex in Jupiter.

Latest top 22 prep football recruits from class of 2022 Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
With the top class of 2021 high school football players either already signed in December or earlier this month, it's time to take a look at the class of 2022 prospects many colleges are mulling over. Here are 22 of the top 2022 prospects who could be signing on the next Early Signing Day in December. These rankings are not from the personal preferences of Enquirer staff ers. It's merely a compilation based on various recruiting services such as 247Sports, Rivals and others.

Charles Infosino Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
“With great power comes great responsibility.” Those philosophical words originated with French philosopher Voltaire in 1793. However, they were popularized, and perhaps immortalized, in the 1962 comic book, "Spiderman." Comic books have come a long way over the years in infl uencing popular culture. Comic book superheroes are featured in blockbuster movies, hit television shows and best-selling video games. To see these superheroes as they were originally created, you ought to visit one of these 10 Cincinnati-area comic book stores.

‘Nature is a very interesting thing’ Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist
Howdy folks, I am scheduled to get the shot for the virus on Wednesday, Feb. 10. The Senior Services bus is going to take me over to the Board of Health on Bauer Road. I read in the paper about the cicadas that will hatch in Cincinnati this summer. I remember a few years ago we had them pretty bad. Nature is a very interesting thing. The cicadas stay underground for 17 years then come up and you can hear them making their mating call. It doesn’t seem it is time for the craft shows to start, but there will be one at the Shepherd’s Place on March 6, start-
ing at 9 a.m. till 3 p.m. with 20-plus crafters. Then on March 27, they will have another craft show starting at 9 a.m. till 3 p.m. with over 20 crafters and vendors. They have fi ne articles to sell, so mark your calendar. Robin does a super job along with the other volunteers. I have had a couple great days this week. I met Mr. and Mrs. Grant and Bill Sweeney at Frisch’s for dinner, or as you say lunch, on Wednesday and on Thursday, I met with Mr. and Mrs. Lytle for dinner at Frisch’s. I have been friends with these folks for a long time. The Grants have greenhouses at three locations. Bill Sweeney has a vegetable stand at his home above Bethel on State Route 125. He also has about 800 laying hens. He just got 300 baby chicks to enlarge his egg production. He has the baby chickens in his house to keep them warm. He said they woke him up at 3 a.m. and their feeder was empty. He got
up and fi lled the feeder and they went back to eating. Mr. and Mrs. Shamblin were here to visit me and brought me another large bag of bird feed from the Carneys Mill. The birds need to have feed to eat so I thank Gary and Diana for this. The Shamblin’s used to take Paula and I down to the Lower Price Hill to the Kroger place to hand out food to the folks. The Kitchen of Hope at Living the Word Church has a meal to give folks on Saturday and they bring me a good meal. The ladies do a wonderful job. They will serve 70 to 80 people. Right now the people stay in their vehicles and the meal is brought out to them. The meal today was pulled pork, slaw, and a nice piece of cake. The church services are inside the buildng or in your car in the parking lot. Mike and Jamie stopped in to see me and show me a picture of the baby sheep

they have. The last one was all black and so pretty. When Jamie held it, it would snuggle up close to her. It was so loving. They have three all together with one still not born. I talked to the Boars Head Bait Shop in Afton and the lady said there were some folks who called to see if they had minnows so they could go fi shing. The weather is cold but if a fellar dresses warm he can catch some good eating fi sh. Just because it is cold above the water doesn’t mean the fi sh won’t bite. When I used to ice fi sh, the fi sh would bite good. The cold weather doesn’t bother me. I was watching the Super Bowl and the commercials could be a little shorter as far as I am concerned. Start your week by praying and praising the good Lord. God bless all ... More later ...

Continuing a strong legacy in what can only be described as a unique year, Troop 281 of Anderson Hills United Methodist Church recently awarded seven young men the rank of Eagle. Despite obstacles due to COVID -19 restrictions, the Troop was able to safely conduct the ceremony on November 8, 2020. Although restrictions limited the number of people able to attend in person, in the true spirit of scouting, leaders utilized their creative resources and were able to live stream the event for those that were not able to attend. The program highlighted the scouts’ achievements and challenged them to continue their journey as Eagle Scouts. “Throughout the program we heard the Scouts rally around themes like perseverance, commitment and humble gratitude,” observed Doug Siebenburgen, Eagle Scout and organizer of the ceremony. “The ceremony highlighted the importance of service to the community as well as celebrated the outstanding personal achievement of our next generation of young people - even in the midst of a pandemic.” The seven Scouts demonstrated outstanding leadership in their time in Troop 281, serving in various leadership positions, attaining skills, and taking part in diverse high adventure experiences. Their Eagle Projects all demonstrated their growth as Scouts, while also speaking to their unique interests. Scouts recognized at the November Court of Honor and their Eagle Project contribution to the community included: Andrew Burkhart, Turpin High School senior built fl ower boxes and an archaeological dig pit for the preschoolers at Mount Washington Presbyterian Church. Danny Creelman, Turpin High School
senior, built raised wooden garden boxes with built-in benches attached to either side so seniors could sit and garden with ease. His project was constructed on land at Anderson Historical Society Urban Farm Project. Colin Driscoll, Turpin High School graduate and Xavier University freshman, worked in conjunction with the Anderson Parks District to renovate the Bridle Trail at Johnson Park. Brendan Haught, West Clermont High School senior, refurbished the concession building at Tealtown Ball park. Hunter Melton, West Clermont graduate, completed a section of trail along the Little Duck Creek in Madisonville, clearing the overgrowth along the trail, mulching the trail and building 2 benches. Andrew Motz, Turpin High School graduate and University of Louisville freshman, led the design and creation of a bench at the Southgate Volunteer Fire Department, honoring those who have served as volunteer fi re fi ghters. Brent Proffi tt, Turpin High School graduate and sophomore at the Miami University, conducted interviews with local veterans about their experiences. The DVD recordings were then donated to the Anderson Township Historical Society. Leaders applauded the perseverance of these young men and all agreed that the qualities that enabled them to succeed under such unique circumstances will serve them well as Eagle Scouts and in all aspects of their life. Bill Murphree, Troop 281B Scoutmaster remarked, “2020 presented the Scouting program and its members with many challenges nationally. Scouting teaches its members the skills to learn how to charge ahead given any situation or circumstance. This year when Scouting needed commitment the most, Scouts across this country stepped up and kept moving forward, exploring, and advancing. Having 7 Scouts achieve the Eagle Scout rank defi nitely proves that, in spite of a challenging year, they did not allow the COVID-19 pandemic to prevent them from achieving more from their Scouting experience. Their commitment to themselves demonstrates the caliber of our Scouts, the quality of our troop

The Eastern Hills Exchange Club presented a check for $1,000 to The Cincinnati Council on Child Abuse Prevention at their November Meeting. This was one of several checks for $1,000 given this year to the following organizations: Inter Parish Ministries, M.E. Lyons YMCA, The Literacy Network, CASA for Clermont Kids, Anderson Foundation for Parks and Recreations, Jack’s Closet, Pray-Hope-Believe Foundation, Pro Kids, Nest Learning Center, LaSoup, and Beech Acres Parenting Center. The funds were raised at the club’s 13th annual golf outing held at the Vineyard golf course in October. Although the COVID-19 pandemic eliminated a shotgun start and cancelled the award ceremony, 128 golfers participated at designated tee times. A silent raffl e and Bid & Buy were held and winners were able to pick up their prizes at the end of their rounds. Over the past years, this event has raised over $75,000 to help organizations like these in the Greater Cincinnati area. Our next outing is scheduled for Friday Oct. 1, 2021. The Eastern Hills Exchange Club is part of a National Community Service Organization making communities better places to live through projects focusing on Americanism, Youth, Community Service and our National Project of Child Abuse Prevention. Our membership is open to all those who share the same passion. For information about membership, contact Chi Bulger at charles.bulger@marcusmillichap.com. Jerry Kirzner, Eastern Hills Exchange Club

Darrell Edwards, superintendent of Goshen Local Schools, with Erin Harris, of the UC Economics Center. PROVIDED
Goshen Local Schools recognizes two area businesses as Ohio School Board Association Business Honor Roll members Goshen Local Schools has honored two local businesses with the statewide honor of being named to the Ohio School Board Association (OSBA) business honor roll. This award was created to give schools districts the opportunity to recognize and say thank you to business partners who have made signifi cant impact on the education and development of students in their district. This year Goshen decided to give the honor to Bryan Equipment and the University of Cincinnati Economics Center. These organizations partnered together to run the Student Enterprise Program (StEP) at Goshen’s Spaulding Elementary School. According to the Economics Center website “StEP is a nationally recognized elementary school program that has shown a marked increase in student engagement, attendance, self-esteem, academic achievement, and also increases educator eff ectiveness. StEP addresses two key educational needs at an early age:
Rick Bryan, owner of Bryan Equipment. PROVIDED
the need for classroom engagement and the need for 21st century skills related to entrepreneurship, critical-thinking, and fi nancial responsibility.” As part of this partnership Bryan Equipment employees spent time at Spaulding Elementary acting as students’ personal fi nancial advisors as students decide to spend “StEP Bucks” that they earn by being engaged in the classroom. The students would spend the StEP Bucks on various items like school supplies, toys, or even giving their StEP Bucks to a local charity of the schools’ choice which the UC Economic Center would turn into an actual monetary donation. Many students chose the last option deciding to give their StEP Bucks to Honor Flight an organization dedicated to honoring those who served and sacrifi ced for our country. In addition to providing employees to help with StEP Bryan Equipment helped feed local school families this summer by proving Jersey Mikes sub sandwiches in the middle of the pandemic. Rick Bryan the owner of Bryan Equipment noted that being a partner with Goshen Local Schools helps Bryan Equipment fulfi ll their promise to be active members of their community. He states that “now more than ever the community piece is vital.”
Although Bryan Equipment has only been in Goshen Township for a little over a year they have embedded themselves inside the community by partnering with Goshen Local Schools. Another way Bryan Equipment has partnered with Goshen is buy contributing to the Goshen Education Foundation which provides support to the Goshen students and schools through scholarships and grants.

Together the UC Economics Center and Bryan Equipment are making a large impact on Goshen students. Goshen Local Schools is excited and happy to recognize them for their amazing and selfl ess work in educating and developing our future. Mark Edwards, Goshen Local Schools
UC Clermont alum inspires through barber business UC Clermont College alumnus Nick Baynes’s path to success was anything but clear-cut. Before he was Cincinnati’s most sought-after barber, counting professional athletes and performers among his clientele, and giving motivational speeches to rooms full of local youth and cosmetology students – he was a struggling kid from Middletown, Ohio, searching for direction. UC Clermont alum and After spending three barber Nick Baynes. years in foster care, he was PROVIDED reunited with his biological mother at age 13. Then, in 8th grade, Baynes, who had shown talent and promise as a young athlete, learned about the UC Clermont College basketball program through a mentor. “I really didn’t know much of anything about the
school,” Baynes says. “But when I was brought in and showed the vision of the school and basketball program, I just wanted to be a part of it.” After graduating from Cincinnati’s Hughes High School in 2004, Baynes started his collegiate academic and basketball career at UC Clermont – and says the life lessons began immediately. Being a fi rst-generation college student meant that Baynes experienced a learning curve – but also a clean slate – when it came to campus life and coursework. He asked questions of older connections who had been to college to help him prepare, but quickly found his own self-forged path to success. “I never bought textbooks because of my fi nancial situation, so I found myself in the library checking out books and printing off one chapter at a time so I could be on the same page as other students in my classes,” Baynes says. “I set up meetings with my instructors if I needed help. I did things in a diff erent fashion that worked for me.” It was through these experiences that Baynes’s selfstarter mentality fi rst took hold. “I learned how to become independent and self motivated all in the same week,” Baynes says. “Being away for school taught me how to budget and learn how to hold myself accountable. I also learned how to overcome adversity and take constructive criticism, which allowed me to press forward in life.” Although Baynes had intended to become a teacher, while in college he witnessed substantial budget cuts in the Cincinnati Public School system that made him rethink his plans. In addition, Baynes became a father at age 22, and felt the weight of the responsibility to provide for his child, even as he briefl y struggled with homelessness a few years later.
“I saw teachers who had worked for eight or nine years get fi red after the budget cuts,” Baynes says. “That defi nitely contributed to my entrepreneurial mindset. I fi gured if I work for myself, I wouldn’t be fi red.” Determined to make his own way, in 2011, Baynes enrolled in barber school. Soon after he started cutting hair in his basement, he realized he had a gift for the craft. He started cutting hair at a local barbershop, and his clientele grew. Before long, professional and collegiate athletes and performers sought the specialized, personal service that Baynes provided. Baynes soon earned the nickname “Nick Da Barber.” “I love being a barber for the freedom,” says Baynes. “I’m a people person, so this profession fi ts my personality perfectly.” In 2013, Baynes decided to reach beyond the barber chair to further spread his positive message by founding the Nick Da Barber Against The Grain Foundation. The focus of the foundation is to meet the needs of those in the community who are struggling – like Baynes did as a child and teen. The foundation has provided meals, Christmas gifts and other needed items to the community since its inception. Baynes also holds symposiums, workshops and public speaking events, sharing his story of success and inspiring others. He even recently self-published his fi rst book, “The Entrepreneur’s Blueprint: Strategies for Success,” available for order or download on his website, nickdabarber.com. “I’m grateful that God has chosen me to bring my gifts and message to whomever I can touch and help,” Baynes says. “I love having the ability to change people’s lives.” Amanda Chalifoux, UC Clermont College

Brood X cicadas will hatch in 2021; what does that mean for Cincinnati? Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Brood X periodical cicadas, the hefty version of the cicadas Greater Cincinnati sees each year, have been underground for 17 years and ready to reemerge this summer. This year will mark the reemergence after 17 years of Brood X, or the Great Eastern Brood, of periodical cicadas – those large, winged, kind of scary-looking but mostly harmless fl ying insects known for their almost deafening buzz. The last emergence was in 2004. Greater Cincinnati won't be alone in our suff ering.
Brood X cicada map One of the largest broods of periodical cicadas in the nation, Brood X will emerge this spring in 15 states as well as Washington, D.C., the Detroit Free Press said: h Delaware h Georgia h Illinois h Indiana h Kentucky h Maryland h Michigan h North Carolina h New Jersey h New York h Ohio h Pennsylvania h Tennessee h Virginia h West Virginia h Washington, D.C. The University of Kentucky said there are 15 broods of periodical cicadas in the United States and six of those occur in Kentucky. Brood X is the only periodical cicadas group that impacts Northern Kentucky. Last year, we saw a bit of Brood X make their way to the surface early. “The emergence of these stragglers will be nothing like we will see next year when Brood X will emerge and millions of the red-eyed insects make their appearance,” Gene Kritsky, dean of behavioral and natural sciences at Mount St. Joseph University, told The Enquirer last summer.
Why now? We don't exactly know why the cicadas pick 17 years for their emergence cycle, the Detroit Free Press reported. From underground, periodical cicadas have some method of counting the number of times deciduous trees – the kind that lose their leaves in the winter – regrow their leaves, said John Cooley, an entomologist at the University of Connecticut who studies periodical cicadas.
In this photo taken in 2011, a newly molted cicada dries out on a Hawthorne bush near a trail John Drew Tennis Center in Macon, Ga. WOODY MARSHALL, ASSOCIATED PRESS
“The cicadas come out after the ‘right’ number,” he said. “Whatever the specifi c change is, the cicadas can detect that.” The bugs will even, in unison, postpone their emergence for a day or two if the weather is rainy or otherwise uncooperative, he said.
How long do cicadas last? Once the ground hits 64 degrees — usually in late April or early May — the cicadas will begin to emerge. They'll be active through June in Greater Cincinnati, bumping into your windows and terrorizing anyone outside. Expect this brood to be noisy. That buzzing is a mat-
ing call. "Adults climb the trees beneath which they developed or fl y to new trees where males serenade females with cacophonous songs only appreciated by another cicada," Joe Boggs of Buckeye Yard and Garden Online said. Periodical cicadas can also damage trees and woody ornamental bushes. Females slit twigs to insert batches of eggs after mating. Those twigs break at these weak spots and are left to dangle, turn brown and die, UK offi cials said. This “pruning” can adversely aff ect the developing structure of small trees but is typically ok for large trees. The Detroit Free Press contributed to this article.
