Christine’s Casual Dining gets permanent restaurant in Bridgetown Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Bridgetown has a new restaurant, and it has something for everybody. Christine’s Casual Dining opened ofﬁ cially on April 21, inside of what was formerly a Perkins. Christine’s was originally in a rented space on Harrison Ave. but now has a permanent home. The family-friendly restaurant serves standard American comfort food as well as Filipino and Mexican dishes. The menu features soups, salads, burgers, tacos and a Filipino dish called pork adoba. The building kept a lot of Perkins’ old features but added new touches too, like

a painted sign that says, “On the West Side and proud of it” and another that says, “As for me and my restaurant, we serve tacos.” Everything on the menu is under $20 and the restaurant also has a full bar. Christine McDay has been cooking her whole life, she says, and is now the manager, owner and chef of her namesake restaurant. McDay immigrated to America from the Phillipines in 2001. “Ever since I moved here, I fell in love with the area and knew this is where I wanted to open my business. I love serving,” McDay said. Christine’s Casual Dining and Drinks will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. 3360 Westbourne Dr., 45248

Lick Run Greenway officially opened in South Fairmount on May 18. The $103 million project is operated and maintained by the Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati. The Greenway helps with stormwater management and controls sewer overflow. It is the ﬁ rst daylighted stream in the nation to prevent sewer overflows. MEG VOGEL/THE ENQUIRER

A MARQUEE GREEN SPACE Cincinnati shows oﬀ $100 million stormwater project and park in Lick Run Greenway Scott Wartman | Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

For most of the 20th Century, Lick Run creek ran under South Fairmount in a giant sewer pipe. Now, its waters fl ow through a manicured park and recreation area in the center of South Fairmount, long one of Cincinnati’s most destitute neighborhoods. Leaders with the city of Cincinnati and the Metropolitan Sewer District on May 18 celebrated the completion of the $100 million Lick Run Greenway. MSD built the greenway to reduce the 500 million gallons of stormwater that fi lled the sewers each year. In the process, South Fairmount now has a marquee park, with walking paths and bridges along the creek, a new playground, basketball courts and picnic areas. And the creek now fl ows better than it ever has, even a 100 years ago. Before, it only occasionally had water during a heavy rain. Now, it will fl ow continuously through the greenway thanks to a pump station and underground channel installed by MSD.

Cheviot is hosting a Cicada March with the motto, “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” Organizers are calling on all bug fanatics, especially those who love cicadas, to create costumes of their own and march down the streets of Cheviot. The parade on June 2 will swarm the streets of Cheviot beginning at Saint Martins of Tours Parish and School, heading down Lovell St., near Harrison and ending in the Cheviot Municipal Lot. The march will be around a quarter of a mile. The parade will feature people dressed in their best cicada costumes and other buggy gear. Patrons are also encouraged to dress up. Reidents on Lovell Street are encouraged to dress their houses in bugstyle decorations, but everything is volunteer-based. “We’re looking to make this as unique as possible,” said Ray Kroner, owner of Kroner Dry Cleaning Services. “We’ll be swarming the streets.” Gene Kritsky, Cincinnati’s cicada expert and the dean of the School of Behavioral and Natural Sciences at Mount St. Joseph, will be at the parade. MadCap Puppets oﬃ cials are also making an appearance. Other local celebrity judges will include Local 12’s Bob Herzog and Chris and Janeen from WGRR. There will be prizes for the best cicada and bug costumes. At the end of the parade, musicians from the ETB Music School will perform. Food trucks will be selling food. Organizers are also selling cicadathemed shirts. All proceeds will go to Cheviot Business Alliance, who will use the funds to support local businesses, according to Kroner. You can sign up for the parade and order a shirt at explorecheviotohio. com. The Cicada March will begin on June 2 at 5:30 p.m.

Cicadas started to appear in 2004 around the Clifton neighborhood. THE ENQUIRER/GARY LANDERS

Check out what local chefs eat when they’re not cooking for you

Keith Pandolﬁ Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Ever wonder what your favorite chefs crave when they’re not cooking for you? I asked some of Cincinnati’s fi nest, and their answers made me realize just how many things I’ve yet to try here in town. These dishes will take you all over the Greater Cincinnati area, from Anderson Township to Camp Washington; Fort Mitchell to Covington. All I can say is hop in your car, bus or streetcar and take their advice. These folks know what they’re talking about. Paul Barraco, chef/co-owner, the Governor, Milford: The Iskender kebab (slices of kebab meat over garlic toasted bread, served with yogurt and tomato sauce) at Leyla Mediterranean is really great. I really love Turkish food, and their version is so well seasoned. The bread is homemade and the tomato sauce is smoky and rich without being heavy. It’s also a great use of herbs and spices. In fact, everything there is great. 418 Beechmont Ave., 513-231-2888, leylamediterranean.com. Lauren Brown, former sous chef at Restaurant Daniel, New York City; former executive chef at the University Club of Cincinnati: The pommes souffl es with bearnaise sauce from Boca. It reminds me of my childhood growing up at the Maisonette (Lauren is the daughter of longtime Maisonette maitre d’ Richard Brown). As I’ve become a chef and gone through all the work it takes to make food taste and look beautiful, I’ve especially learned to appreciate the art of French haute cuisine. I love that Boca was able to recreate this dish (which was a mainstay at the Maisonette) so perfectly and bring back those special memories. It’s always such a treat to dine there when I’m home. Boca,114 E. Sixth St., Downtown, 513542-202, bocacincinnati.com. Hideki Harada, chef/owner at Kiki, College Hill: Being out here in College Hill, I crave Bridges Nepali Cuisine (in nearby Northside) at least once a month, especially their hakku chuala (a rice bowl with spicy grilled chicken, ginger, yellow peas and olive oil). And my daughter smashes their momos (Nepali-style dumplings with your choice of fi lling). Bridges Nepali 4165 Hamilton Ave., Northside, 513-374-9354; 133 E. Court St., Downtown, 519-978-9055; bridgesnepalicuisine.com. Bhumin Desai, chef, culinary director of March First Brewing and Distilling: I would have to say the meatballs (wagyu beef meatballs with scallion gremolata and lemon-caper puree) at Bouquet. Just the simplicity of the dish is what I love about it. It has all the ingredients we know and love, but it’s balanced to perfection. [Chef Stephen Williams] always does an excellent job with that. Bouquet, 519 Main St., Covington, 859-491-7777, bouquetrestaurant.com. Daniel Wright, chef and co-owner of Queen City Hospitality Group: The empanadas at Mita’s (Downtown); the goetta and egg sandwich at Eckerlin Meats (Findlay Market); the Potatoes Anna at Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse (Downtown); the chili at Zip’s Cafe (Mount Lookout); the iced coff ee at Pho Lang Thang (OTR); the sausage pizza at Adriatico’s (Clifton Heights); and the Taco al Pastor at Pata Roja Taqueria (Pendleton). For my last meal, give me the sweet corn agnolotti at Boca (Downtown); the crab Rangoon at Oriental Wok (Hyde Park and Fort Mitchell); and 16 Bricks salted rye with good butter and a pinch of salt. Derek dos Anjos, chef/co-owner of Parts & Labor, Oakley: My choice for favorite dish is from Fausto at the CAC. It’s the warm gigante beans with chorizo vinaigrette, pita breadcrumbs, fermented and fresh radish, fresh herbs and spicy greens. Sometimes I add on a piece of grilled octopus. I fi nd this dish just hits all the

right notes. It’s earthy and light; it’s essentially a salad, but it’s warm and inviting. With each bite, I can’t place some of the fl avors but they are all familiar. I fi nd myself asking, “Wait what is that? Oh, right; that’s the chorizo or that’s the fermented radish.” As a chef, this excites me. The salad is beautiful, well composed and feels like a piece of art. I also love sitting in that space knowing there are worldclass pieces of art just a few steps away. The Ferrari brothers have done a wonderful job bringing New American California cuisine to Cincinnati. They highlight what’s in season locally and have a deft touch when it comes to cooking techniques and execution. Fausto, 44 E. Sixth St., Downtown, 513-345-2979, faustoatthecac.com. Jeremy Lieb, chef/owner of Sacred Beast, OTR: We go to Taqueria Mercado every Sunday (after we close Sacred Beast) for goat tacos and goat soup. They’re both delicious, soulful and a great way to end our week. With that being said, everything there is delicious. Taqueria Mercado, 100 E. Eighth St., Downtown, 513-381-0678, taqueriamercado.com. Cristian Pietoso, chef/owner of Via Vite, Downtown; Forno Osteria + Bar, Hyde Park/Montgomery; Nicola’s, OTR: I’d say Fausto’s roasted chicken (a roasted whole or half Gerber Farms chicken with greens and sherry vinaigrette). It’s the best I’ve had other than Bouchon (the famous Thomas Kellerowned French bistro in California’s Napa Valley). It’s juicy, fl avorful and succulent. Hats off to (Fausto owners) Tony

and Austin Ferrari. Fausto, 44 E. Sixth St., Downtown, 513-345-2979, faustoatthecac.com. Josh Campbell, head chef/owner of Holy Guacamole Restaurant Group: My favorite dish right now is Riverside Korean Restaurant’s Spam and pork belly fried rice with a fried egg on top. Bruce Kim is a genius when it comes to Korean Food. The explosion of ﬂ avors is phenomenal. Its a great treat after a hard week of work, especially when you wash it down with an ice cold beer. Riverside Korean Restaurant, 512 Madison Ave., Covington, 859-291-1484, riversidekorean.com. Stephen Williams, chef/owner of Bouquet, Covington: The Dragons Breath Wontons at Amerasia on Madison in Covington. My wife, Jessica, and I ﬁ rst started dating there when Johnny Chu (the co-owner) was working on that dish. It’s got some smack-you-in-the-face garlic and spice, but it’s cooked perfectly without being chewy or soggy. And the sauteed scallions give it just enough texture. I don’t believe it was my breath after eating that dish that helped me win over my wife, but we sure had a lot of good times there! Amerasia, 521 Madison Ave., Covington, 859-261-6121, amerasia.carryout.com. Jared Bennett, chef, Branch, Walnut Hills: I had a really good grain bowl from Fuel (a ghost kitchen run by the Taste of Belgium restaurants) with lentils, grilled chicken and baby kale. I topped it with avocado, hard boiled egg, cucumbers, crispy chickpeas and a coconut

curry sauce. 1135 Vine St., OTR, 513-852-1837, eatatfuel.com. Jose Salazar, chef/owner of Salazar, OTR; Goose & Elder, OTR; Mita’s, Downtown: I am a big fan of the pozole (a traditional Mexican soup with pork, chicken, hominy, red radish, white onions, avocado, cabbage, cilantro, lime, Mexican oregano and tostadas) at Mazunte. It’s a dish that is homey and comforting, but still refi ned in some ways. I traveled with (owner) Josh Wamsley to Mexico and we had several bowls of excellent pozole [as hangover cures]. While I don’t drink anymore [and don’t need it to help me with a hangover], I still love the rejuvenated feel I get when eating it and the memories of hanging with Josh in Mexico. Mazunte Taqueria, 5207 Madison Road, Madisonville: Mazunte Centro, 611 Main St., Downtown, 513-785-0000, mazuntetacos.com. Tony Ferrari, co-owner of Fausto at the CAC, Downtown; Mom ‘n’ ‘Em Coffee, Camp Washington: I’ll start off with Kiki. I love this place and the family that owns it. I come about once a week. My favorite is the (sushi) hand rolls (if and when they have them). They’re well put together with great raw seafood and perfectly cooked rice. Also, their ramen is the perfect size and I could drink the broth everyday. Mita’s is another place I go to about once a week. I love (owner) Jose Salazar, and I think he’s doing a great job at using local ingredients and sourcing from farmers close by. Mita’s always has the most vibrant fresh vegetables and salads. My favorite being the jicama and green mango salad. Its beautiful, perfect texture, and hits on every note of sweet, salty, crunchy and acidic. Secondly would be the octopus. Its creative and always very tender. This restaurant shows technique and care in the food. KiKi, 5932 Hamilton Ave., College Hill, 513- 541-0381, kikicincinnati.com. Mita’s, 501 Race St., Downtown, 513421-6482, mitas.com. Kayla Robison, head chef at Arnold’s Bar and Grill, Downtown: Mom ‘n’ ‘Em’s avocado toast is the fi rst thing that comes to mind. The simplicity of it is what makes it so incredible. Lemony aioli. Perfectly ripe avocado. Fresh, hearty bread. It’s topped with fl akey sea salt, a drizzle of oil, and the fresh cilantro brings it all together. It’s the perfect fuel for a morning or afternoon snack.

Archdiocese of Cincinnati ordains seven priests Quinlan Bentley Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Archdiocese of Cincinnati ordained seven new priests on May 15, church offi cials said. Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr celebrated the Mass and laid his hands on each of the men as part of the ordination rite, according to information released by offi cials. This year’s ordination falls in line with a growing trend over the last decade, with seven men also ordained in 2009 and 2016 respectively, offi cials said, adding the largest recent class was in 2019 when nine men were ordained into the priesthood. Offi cials said that the seven new priests each served as transitional deacons for the last year, with their ministry including baptizing, assisting at marriages and preaching at Mass. All of the men graduated on May 12 from Mount St. Mary’s Seminary and School of Theology after at least seven years of formation, the released information states. Parish assignments for the new priests include: h Father Elijah Puthoff , parochial Vicar at St. Joseph and St. Raphael, Springfi eld; St. Teresa of the Child Jesus, Springfi eld; St. Bernard, Spring-

ﬁ eld; St. Charles, South Charleston. h Father Louis Jacquemin, parochial vicar at St. Henry, St. Henry; St. Aloysius, Carthegena; St. Bernard, Burketsville; St. Francis, Cranberry Prairie; St. Wendelin, St. Wendelin. h Father Edward Hoﬀ man, parochial vicar at St. Julie Billiart, Hamilton; St. Joseph, Hamilton; St. Peter in Chains, Hamilton. h Father Scott Morgan, parochial vicar at St. William, Price Hill and St. Teresa of Avila, Price Hill. h Father Anthony Marcelli, parochial vicar at St. Margaret-Saint John, Fairfax; St. Cecilia, Oakley; St. Anthony, Madisonville. h Father Aaron Hess, parochial vicar at Holy Angels, Sidney and chaplain and faculty at Lehman High School. h Father Michael Kapolka, parochial vicar at the Fort Recovery Cluster: Mary, Help of Christians, Fort Recovery, St. Joseph, St. Joseph, St. Paul, Sharpsburg, St. Peter, St. Peter. The ordination of these new priests came shortly after the archdiocese announced the return of weekly Mass beginning the weekend of June 5-6. The archdiocese was formed in 1821 as the Diocese of Cincinnati; it was raised to an archdiocese in 1850 by Pope Piux IX.

Mass obligation resumes in June for Cincinnati Catholics Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Weekly Mass inside Catholic churches will return soon for Catholics in Ohio, including Cincinnati, as COVID-19 pandemic restrictions are lifted across the state. The Archdiocese of Cincinnati released a statement May 14 saying that the Catholic Conference Bishops of Ohio have decided to reinstate the obligation beginning the weekend of June 5-6. Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr also

Schnurr

removed the dispensation for Sunday and Holy Day Masses. When you go, you will not be required to wear a mask in churches across the 20-county archdiocese, oﬃ cials said in a

news release. The change is in line Gov. Mike DeWine’s announcement May 12 to lift masking restrictions across the state beginning June 2. The bishops said pastors may oﬀ er “at least one section of socially dis-

tanced seating” in one Sunday Mass for parishioners who prefer that and make it known to the parish when and where the seating will be available. The bishops reminded church members that, as always, those who have a serious reason (for example, an illness or other signiﬁ cant health risk factors) are still exempt, the bishops’ statement says. “Masses that are broadcast through various media are not intended as a substitute nor do they fulﬁ ll the obligation for the persons who are able to gather for a Sunday celebration and

other Holy Days of Obligation,” the statement reminds. The archdiocese was formed in 1821 as the Diocese of Cincinnati; it was raised to an archdiocese in 1850 by Pope Piux IX. Over in the Diocese of Covington, the dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass was most recently extended on April 12. Diocese oﬃ cials couldn’t be immediately reached for comment Friday on whether the dispensation is being rethought.

East Price man accused of trying to solicit sex from 13-year-old Brook Endale Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

An East Price Hill man is facing charges after police say he tried to solicit sex from an undercover cop he thought was a 13-year-old girl. Kevin Winterman, 34, is being charged with two counts of importuning and one count of disseminating matter harmful to a juvenile. Members of the Regional Electronics & Computer Investigations section initiated an investigation into the online internet activities of Winterman, a registered sex oﬀ ender, after he engaged in an online conversation with an undercover detective.

According to police, Winterman sent nude pictures of himself to who he believed was a 13-year-old girl. He also arranged a time to meet and engage in sexual activity with the “girl.” Winterman was arrested on May 18 and is currently being held at the Justice Center. The investigation of Winterman’s internet activities is ongoing and anyone with information should contact the Regional Electronics & Computer Investigations section at (513) 946-8338.

Charm at the Farm Vintage Market celebrating ﬁ ve years of women supporting women

The wildly popular Charm at the Farm Vintage Market has big plans to commemorate its fi fth anniversary year this year. Not only will Charm at the Farm celebrate this exciting milestone with its vendors and attendees, but the owners have also partnered with and will be elevating two charitable organizations as their 2021 benefi ciaries. These non-profi ts are focused on supporting and empowering women both personally and professionally, which is at the heart of the Charm vision. Charm at the Farm Vintage Market began with the dream of two best friends, both busy working mothers, to repurpose and transform a 56-acre horse farm into an enchanting, open-air vintage market full of one-of-a-kind treasures from local artisans and makers, featuring primarily women-owned small businesses. Just fi ve years since Amy Doyle and Jayme Kuenkel launched their fi rst Charm markets in 2017, the open-air shopping experience has grown into a must-attend event for women across the region each June, August and October. Thousands of devoted attendees, now known as “Charmers,” look forward to attending Charm markets to shop for unique pieces from Charm’s 115+ vendors and shops, which are carefully curated by Amy and Jayme to create the Charm-exclusive experience. Charm vendors off er an eclectic mix of vintage and handmade items, repurposed furniture, clothing, home décor, gifts and more. Charm at the Farm has partnered with and will be showcasing these two non-profi ts throughout 2021: h Eve Center (locally-focused) – a Cincinnati-based non-profi t dedicated to promoting healing and growth for women across the city through biblical, no-cost, safe and confi dential peer counseling and training.

h Sifa Collective (internationally-focused) – a faith-based, missional nonprofi t with Cincinnati roots that runs training centers for marginalized women throughout Tanzania, Africa focused on equipping them with the tools and skills they need to become successful small business owners in their local communities. “Organizations like Eve Center here in Cincinnati and Sifa Collective in Africa provide women with the support and encouragement they need to heal, grow, learn, gain confi dence and succeed,” said Jayme Kuenkel, co-owner and founder of Charm at the Farm. “Our aim for 2021 is to not only continue to off er a fun and unique Charm experience for our community, but also to pay it forward. We want to invite our Charmers to join us in making an impact and off ering hope to women locally and around the world.” This milestone year for Charm at the Farm is signifi cant because it is a shining example that women are powerful, capable, and can accomplish their dreams no matter their circumstances, with proper support. The Eve Center’s goal is to provide free care to women across Cincinnati who need support, counseling and

training. Eve Center has locations in Blue Ash and Cleves, and a Loveland location is in the works. “We believe in listening, encouraging, comforting and building into women right where they are, because we’ve been there too,” said Kenda Moss, executive director of Eve Center. “Our desire is that every hurting woman would have access to the emotional, relational, and spiritual care they need. We are thrilled to partner with Charm at the Farm to share the hope we provide through our free services.” Sifa Collective will be on-site at Charm’s June Market selling their handmade products crafted by Tanzanian women in Africa who have been through their Sifa Center training programs. “When you equip women with tools and training, changemakers and community builders are created for generations to come,” said Stephanie Boon, cofounder and product designer of Sifa Collective. “We are so grateful to be partnering with Charm at the Farm to showcase how we are empowering Tanzanian women to create their own businesses and grow their communities.” “As we celebrate Charm’s 5th anniversary year, we want to inspire more women and show our daughters - if you

can dream it, you can do it,” said Amy Doyle, co-owner and founder of Charm at the Farm. “That’s why we are inviting the community to join us in supporting these two great causes committed to supporting and equipping women holistically. The Eve Center and Sifa Collective do such important work to lift up women, and their missions are near and dear to our hearts. Please plan to join us at our 2021 markets to support these causes as we celebrate fi ve fabulous years since Charm began!” In addition to Eve Center and Sifa Collective, there will be 15 ew vendors featured at Charm for the fi rst time this June, alongside several new food trucks serving everything from coff ee, tacos, BBQ, pizza, kettle corn and more. Charm at the Farm is presented by the local boutiques, Blume and Fleurish. Charm at the Farm will once again be following the latest health and safety guidelines from local offi cials to ensure its 2021 markets are safe for those who wish to attend.

Memorial Day this year will certainly be a lot more fun than last year. You remember it, don’t you? Still sheltering in place, not having our usual gatherings inside or out. Well, I’m hoping where you are, mask requirements are relaxed enough to enjoy family and friends on this most meaningful day. Now when I was a kid, we called it “Decoration Day.” Even though the name has changed, we still attend our outdoor church service, “decorate” graves of our loved ones in the side yard of the church, and honor all who died ﬁ ghting for this glorious country.

Memorial Day kicks oﬀ picnic season. Which I guess is why a request came in for an oldie but goodie, Asian noodle salad aka Ramen noodle coleslaw. Most recipes contain Ramen noodles. Some incorporate the seasoning packet included with the noodles as part of the vinegar/oil dressing. Other recipes are more purist – Ramen noodles are in, seasoning packet is out. My dilemma as to which one to share was solved pretty quick: you get both. Salad ingredients are the same – dressings are diﬀ erent. Both are yummy. You can also make your own salad base with Napa/Chinese or regular cabbage, chopped with shredded carrots added. Count on a good 8 cups. If your slaw mix is 12 oz., use a bit less dressing.

An illustration of Spalding & Rogers’s Floating Palace circus showboat appeared in “Gleason’s Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion” magazine, Feb. 19, 1852. The Floating Palace was built in Cincinnati in 1851. FILE

Floating Palace

circus boat built in Cincinnati was talk of the Midwest in 1850s ed at night that it drew crowds just to see it lit up.

Jeff Suess Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

In July 1852, Cincinnatians crowded along the river to see the circus. There were no circus tents erected along the banks as in years past when Spalding & Rogers’s circus came to town. This time the show was on a boat – a circus showboat – the fi rst and grandest of its kind. Spalding & Rogers’s Floating Palace was the talk of the town. Folks all over the Midwest knew of their circus, one of the most popular in the country in the previous decade, though having a circus on a boat was a new innovation. The fl oating amphitheater had been built for their circus the year before in Cincinnati. This was a return visit to where the Floating Palace had been launched, and the people came out to catch a glimpse of the boat and the “incomparable circus.” The Enquirer wrote that receipts from the four shows held on the boat July 5 “must have exceeded the aggregate receipts of all the amusements in the city.” Gilbert Reynolds Spalding (sometimes spelled Spaulding) had been touring Spalding’s North American Circus since 1843. He was known as “Dr.” Spalding because he had operated a pharmacy in Albany, New York. He formed a partnership with Charles J. Rogers, one of the circus riders, in 1848. Spalding introduced several new ideas to the circus: the fi rst to use quarter-poles in the big top to form larger tents, the fi rst to use gas-jet limelights for the arena rather than candles and the fi rst to transport his circus by train.

‘A curious ship’ In 1851, the partners commissioned the fi rst fl oating palace at a reported cost of $42,000 (that’s $1.3 million in 2020 dollars) in a city known for its shipyards. The Floating Palace was enormous for its day – two stories, 200 feet long and 60 feet wide – but rather plain in appearance. On the outside, it resembled a large box on a barge with rows of windows and fl ags waving above it. It didn’t move upon its own power but was towed, or rather pushed, by a side-wheeler steamboat named James Raymond. The Floating Palace was celebrated near and far. “Gleason’s Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion” magazine published a feature on “such a curious ship” in February 1852 that included an illustration. “It is not a sham built aff air, but it is really very fi nely fi tted, and perfect in every respect,” they wrote. The “commodious amphitheater” fi tted 1,000 cane-seated armchairs in the main “dress circle,” 1,500 cushioned settees in the “family cir-

cle” gallery and 900 seats in the gallery for Black spectators. Tickets for standing room outside the windows sold for half price once the seats were fi lled. The performers included clowns, acrobatic stunts and an equestrian act featuring 40 trained horses in the arena at one time and mares that could dance the waltz, as detailed by Philip Graham in “Showboats: The History of an American Institution.” Nearly a hundred people – crew, business staff , trainers and performers – worked and lived on board, along with a large stable and a press to publish its own newspaper, the Palace Journal. The boat also included a museum of oddities and curiosities with more than 100,000 pieces, such as taxidermied animals, puppets and wax fi gures, that required separate admission. The towboat James Raymond had its own concert saloon called the Ridotto that put on theatrical performances, vaudeville acts and minstrel shows. This was in the years just before the Civil War and race shows with clowns wearing burnt-cork blackface were extremely popular. Cities all along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, in the North and the South, knew the Floating Palace. An advance man went ahead to each town to advertise the show and settle the license fees. Bells from the Floating Palace rang along the river, calling out to patrons miles away that the circus was coming. Spalding and Rogers were the fi rst to install bell chimes on a showboat. An array of 20 bells, weighing between 50 and 700 pounds each, were installed on an arch on the hurricane deck. They were forged by the Buckeye Bell & Brass Foundry of Cincinnati. The boat was a unique sight when illuminat-

Circus life was a tough life. Two former prizefi ghters served as bouncers and everyone on board was armed to protect the boat. There were intense rivalries with other circuses, though the feud between Spalding and the famous clown Dan Rice was legendary in the industry. Rice had been a partner with Spalding in the North American Circus, but they had a falling out. Spalding’s brother-in-law, Wessel T.B. Van Orden, had been the manager of the circus run by Rice and handled the fi nances. According to Rice, Van Orden had persuaded him to invest in a farm in Albany and have Spalding hold the mortgage. According to Rice, while he was off performing, Spalding foreclosed on the mortgage, turning Rice’s family out of their home. Thus began the feud. Rice accused Spalding of trying to ruin the circus he started in competition with the Floating Palace. He claimed Van Orden moved some buoys so that Rice’s boat ran aground while they watched. Van Orden accused Rice of slander and Rice spent a week in jail. Rice composed and performed songs about their feud, including one with references to “this fl oating scow from Cincinnati” along with this verse: “Some New York sharps, I’d have you know, They struck upon a plan They built a boat on the river to fl oat To ruin this old fool Dan. And as they failed in previous attempts, And found it was no go, They surely thought the palace would prevent Success to the one-horse show.” For a decade, the Floating Palace was the cream of the crop for circus showboats. The circus made frequent stops in Cincinnati and wintered in New Orleans. The show came to an end in the early months of the Civil War. In 1861, the newly created Confederate government confi scated the Floating Palace and converted it into a hospital ship stationed in New Orleans for the rest of the war. “The rivers had never seen such an effi cient and well-staff ed showboat before,” Graham wrote, “and they were to wait years after the Civil War before anything comparable to it again appeared.” Additional sources: Circus Historical Society, New Orleans Nostalgia by Ned Hémard, “Dan Rice, the Circus Clown” by Dorothy Dengler, “Ringing and Ringling: Showmens’ Bells, Chimes and Related Novelty Instruments” by Fred Dahlinger Jr.

SPORTS Moeller and Elder’s top-two matchup a lesson in playoﬀ atmosphere Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Lee Meyer understands what the Ohio high school boys volleyball tournament feels like in its most competitive moments. Now the Moeller head coach, Meyer was the 2007 state Player of the Year for the undefeated Crusader squad that won state and still stands as one of, if not the best team Cincinnati has produced. After a Division I career at Ball State, Meyer started coaching and was given the reins to the program before the canceled 2020 season. Coaching the No. 2 Crusaders on May 14, Meyer stood down the court from the No.1 Elder Panthers and their coach, Sean Tierney. The Elder head coach since 2003, Tierney also knows when the competition is at its highest to the tune of four state championships and a pair of state runner-up fi nishes achieved in his tenure. Playing at Elder, a win for the hosts meant an outright Greater Catholic League title. A win for Moeller meant a three-way tie for the title with both team plus St. Xavier. “We knew going into the game that is was going to be a fi st fi ght,” Meyer said. “An absolute bruiser of a game where every point had to be heavily fought and ultimately earned.” In fi ve sets, Moeller snatched the win 25-23, 20-25, 15-25, 26-24, 15-11. In set one, the score would be tied at every point from 3-3 until 21-21. An 18-9 Moeller lead in the fourth set quickly turned into an 18-18 tie and was again tied every point until 24-24 when the Crusaders snapped off two points to win and send the match to a fi fth set. Any GCL matchup could bring a full, excited crowd, but the dynamic of the state’s No. 1 and No. 2 meeting brought an extra stress to the fi eldhouse. “It’s always fun to play in a loud, energetic gym,” Meyer said. “That loud, nervous anxiety and tension opens up your veins and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I think that is truly the environment that all of us coaches want in all of our matches going forward.” With the canceled 2020 season, athletes missed out on the high-level experience of varsity volleyball. Matches like the Moeller-Elder bout can give a glimpse of tournament atmospheres that have been lacking since the canceled year and pandemicsuppressed crowds in 2021. “We have one true sophomore out there and at least four true juniors in the starting rotation that haven’t played in this intense atmosphere before,” Tierney said. “Obviously we’ve had big games, but to have a crowd like this is a

lot of pressure. Unfortunately, it came the second-last match of the year. Hopefully, it is going to be a good learning lesson for us to prepare us for the postseason.” Elder had beaten Moeller twice before in the season, but the Crusaders made more plays and fewer mistakes down the stretch. Moeller celebrated the GCL title brieﬂ y before ﬂ ushing it with the tournament on the horizon.

“One of the concepts we’ve had as a team is called ‘fl ushing it,’” Meyer said. “That concept of fl ushing it is to pick each other up after a bad error or celebrate a really good point, but then after let’s just fl ush that point, regain our composure and play the next point like it’s 0-0. “We obviously went back to the locker room and celebrated the monumental win (May 14), but our guys know that the game is in the past. They can celebrate it

in the moment, but we’re going to fl ush that win.” When asked if his Elder team could appreciate their share of the GCL crown, Tierney had just a single word answer: “Sure.” Neither team takes the achievement for granted, but the playoff atmosphere of the May 14 match was one of the fi nal turning points from regular season growth to thoughts on regional supremacy and state tournament chances.

Boys volleyball regional tournament seedings released Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – May 18. Cincinnati high schools have claimed three of the last four Division I Ohio high school boys volleyball state championships, but in 2021 at least one new Division I team and some Division II competitors are threats to hoist the trophy at season's end. Regional championships will be decided on May 29 and will lead into the state tournament. Pickerington Central hosts the state tournament played over two days on June 5 and June 6.

South 1 After a ﬁ ve-set thriller at Elder on May 14, Moeller topped the state's No. 1 team and was decided as the region's top seed. The Crusaders will open the tournament with West Clermont on May 27, Heavily favored, Moeller should be a

shoo-in to play the regional fi nal at Princeton on May 29. Moeller's opponent in that match is the more undecided variable. No. 4 seed Walnut Hills made itself a team to watch in 2021. A 15-3 record, the Eagles lost only to Moeller, St. Xavier and Elder, the teams which comprised the state's top three teams for the entire season. Walnut Hills will play the winner of No. 5 Loveland and No. 6 Sycamore. Loveland, who was just outside the state's top 10 in the fi nal poll, beat Sycamore in three sets in its last regular-season game. On May 4, Loveland took Walnut Hills to fi ve sets, but took a loss to the Eastern Cincinnati Conference champions. If the seeds remain true and Moeller meets Walnut Hills in the regional fi nal, the Crusaders might not be as heavy a favorite as assumed. Walnut Hills lost in four sets to Moeller in its fi rst match of the year, but with a full season under its belt won't be a team to back down. See TOURNAMENTS, Page 2B

OHSAA asking schools to pay per sport oﬀ ered Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS -The Ohio High School Athletic Association Board of Directors has approved a recommendation from OHSAA Executive Director Doug Ute that membership dues be collected beginning with the 2021-22 school year. The measure, approved by a 9-0 vote by the board May 3, means each high school will contribute $50 per OHSAA sanctioned sport in which the school participates. “First, I want to thank our board of directors for unanimously approving my recommendation,” Ute said. “I also have received favorable feedback from the majority of the administrators with whom I have conversed at our member schools. Levying membership dues does not change our mission, which is to serve our member schools and enrich interscholastic opportunities for students. “We traditionally have relied on tournament ticket sales for about 80 percent

of our revenue,” Ute said. “That fi nancial model has not been sustainable, and the COVID-19 pandemic has certainly not helped. Levying membership dues will give us a steady line of income since many of our other lines are variable, and it will help us build a new, more sustainable revenue model. That model, which will help ensure our longterm sustainability, will be a combination of a wider variety of income streams – including these dues – and continued better management of our expenses.” Total dues for the 2021-22 school year will range from $300 per school to $1,300, depending on the number of OHSAA-sanctioned sports in which a school is participating. The dues will be reviewed annually by an OHSAA Finance Committee and any modifi cations will be recommended to the board by the executive director. In the future, dues will not exceed $100 per sport. For instance, a school that off ered all 26 OHSAA-sanctioned sports (football, girls volleyball, boys soccer, girls soccer,

St. Vincent de Paul helping neighbors stay cool this summer With summer just around the corner and temperatures starting to trend warmer, St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) is prepared to distribute hundreds of fans and air conditioning units to neighbors in need, at no cost. This is the 20th straight year SVDP

CJRC Men’s Youth Varsity 8+ Rowing Team presented with the 2021 Tennessee Governor’s Cup, by Tennessee Lt Governor Randy McNally. PROVIDED

will off er heat relief to its neighbors through its Fan & Air Conditioner Distribution, presented by Braun Heating and Air Conditioning. Fan distribution “We all know that summers in Cincinnati can be brutally hot and humid,” says Mike Dunn, Executive Director of St. Vincent de Paul – Cincinnati. “A fan or A/C unit can go a long way to providing comfort, and can truly benefi t those suff ering from certain health conditions.” In years past, neighbors have been invited to pick up a free fan on selected distribution days. This year, SVDP will distribute box fans on a walk-up basis throughout the summer, or until supply is exhausted. Starting Monday, May 3, those wishing to receive a fan are asked to simply call ahead by dialing 513-562-8850 on the day they plan to pick up their fan. Fans may be picked up at the Neyer Outreach Center (1146 Bank Street, Cincinnati, OH) during normal service hours (8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday - Friday; 9am - Noon on Saturdays). There is a limit of one fan per household, and those who received a fan in 2020 are not eligible to

receive a fan this year. A/C distribution Living in a home with no air conditioning and poor ventilation is not just uncomfortable, but can also be dangerous for those living with certain health conditions. SVDP is committed to providing a healthy living environment for the vulnerable by providing A/C units to the elderly and adults with medical conditions (or adults who have children with medical conditions). Starting Monday, May 3, Hamilton County residents age 65 or older, or those with a medical need, can apply to receive an A/C unit by visiting www.SVDPcincinnati.org/AC. Anyone unable to complete the application online may also call 513-421-0602 for assistance. There is a limit of one A/C unit per household, and those who have received an A/C unit from SVDP in the past 4 years will not be eligible. After completing the application, neighbors who are eligible will receive an appointment time and location to pick up their unit. Kristen Gallagher, St. Vincent de Paul - Cincinnati

Joe DiPietro, of Brooklyn, owns a bar called One Star in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. He previously owned a bar called No Idea, which made a confusing answer to the question ‘‘Where do you want to go tonight?’’ As a crossword constructor, he hates partial phrases (answers like TUG OF and IF I) and grids with ‘‘S’’ in the lower-right corner. This puzzle has neither of those. — W.S.

Levi Grimm, a senior at Ross High School, was the winner of the 2021 Simon Lazarus, Jr., Award. Grimm has worked diligently to contribute to the well-being of his community. During the pandemic, as food insecurities intensifi ed, Grimm, co-director of a food rescue, looked to food distributors, transportation companies and government offi cials for assistance. When he fi rst started, Levi and three of his friends unloaded a semitruck fi lled with 10,000 pounds of food. Eventually, it expanded to them unloading truckloads of up to 120,000 pounds of fresh produce, meat, and dairy products, benefi ting 50 nonprofi t organizations. To date they have helped provide 2 million pounds of food, distributed to 70 non-profi ts in three diff er-

ent states. Jennie Hu, a student at The Seven Hills School, was the junior 2021 Simon Lazarus, Jr., Human Relations Award winner. While Hu has been involved with numerous service initiatives, she fi rst started with a focus on raising awareness around mental illness. In the eighth grade, she recognized that many were suff ering in silence, so she created a social media initiative called Project Reach. Her work continues in advocating for mental health awareness, and during the pandemic, her Project Reach focused on resources for self-care during quarantine. More recently, Hu has become extremely involved in the Burundi and Bhutanese refugee communities. Seniors recognized as fi nalists were Celie Hudson (Cincinnati Country Day School), Shubhra Mishra (Walnut Hills High School), Nicolantonio “Nico” Prentosito (Winton Woods High School), and Gianna Rodriguez (Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy).
