The Cincinnati region usually teems during the summer with jumbo poker, brats, bars and bells tickets and cover bands. There's a church festival within walking distance to every street corner every weekend from May to September, particularly on the city's West Side, where Catholic churches have multiplied like loaves and fi shes. Not this year. The pandemic has left area churches with a lot of frozen fi sh and empty parking lots. Some question whether church festivals will be the same again, or even come back at all when the coronavirus is under control. More than 500,000 Catholics and 300 churches are in the diocese of Cincinnati and Covington, so the absence of church festivals this year will be noticeable. For churches, it's been a triple whammy. First, the Lenten fi sh fries were canceled. Then the church festivals. And for two months, no Masses to pass around the collection plate. Masses resumed May 20 in the Covington diocese; the Ohio archdiocese was scheduled to follow on May 25. Limits on church capacity due to social distancing will be in force. Parishioners will be encouraged but not required to wear masks during services. The dispensation from the obligation to go

to Mass has been indefi nitely extended on both sides of the river. Churches in the archdiocese are among the Cincinnati area congregations that have applied for fi nancial help from the feds. Even though festivals don't bring in as much as school tuition or the church collection plate, they're still the largest single fundraiser for most parishes, bringing in as much as $100,000 annually for some churches. Though it varies from church to church, festivals typically account for 2% of total revenue for churches, not a deal-breaker but still important, some pastors and church fi nancial offi cers told The Enquirer. Parishes in the Cincinnati region hope to hold drive-thru fi sh fries, chicken dinners, online raffl es and other ways to raise money in a socially distant way. Others hope for better luck in the fall. "This past weekend would have been our festival," said Andy Spinney of Our Lady of Victory Church. "The festival is extremely important not only fi nancially, but parishioners come together during those three days." Spinney is the planning and development director for the Delhi Township parish, one of the fi rst to kick off festival season in Cincinnati in early May. The church pushed it back to Oct. 16-18 with the idea of turning it into an Oktoberfest. Victory is one of the few parishes still hoping to See FESTIVALS , Page 4A

As Jeff Berding spoke, the skeletal structure of West End Stadium towered over him in the background. The FC Cincinnati president addressed media members just outside the stadium’s footprint on Friday, May 15, less than a day after the fi rst trusses that will support the venue’s canopied roof were installed atop the structure’s west sideline. The installation of the trusses was the latest construction milestone for the stadium. The canopied roof that will cover every seat is expected to be one of the defi ning features of the stadium, which remains on schedule to open for the 2021 season. Stadium milestones are being achieved on the ticketing side, too, as Berding announced more than 1,500 deposits for club seating. With some ticket accounts representing multiple seats, Berding said the club conservatively estimates two-thirds of the club seats are spoken for. “I have to say the response has been extraordinary. It seems like everything about FC Cincinnati exceeds expectations,” Berding said of the ticketing progress. Aso of Monday May 18, fans have the opportunity to choose the colors and possible designs of the seats they’ll watch matches in. The model of seat to be used for West End Stadium has been chosen, Berding said, and the club will seek fans’ help in choosing the color and arrangement of the seats in an online poll. “You see in some stadiums now where they intersperse diff erent colors to maybe create a pattern,” Berding said. “Maybe it says something. Maybe there’s a picture with the diff erent color seats, and so we’re going to post online a fan poll, if you will, for fans to weigh in with the stadium design that they like.” Berding started his remarks discussing new facets of the club’s ticketing policy relative to the uncertainty of the 2020 season, which has been suspended since March 12 due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Ohio child care centers can reopen May 31. Here’s what to expect 100 degrees or more must be sent home immediately and cannot return unless they have been fever-free for 24 hours without taking fever-reducing medication.

Ohio child care centers and homes can reopen May 31, with restrictions in place, Gov. Mike DeWine recently announced. The state will use more than $60 million in federal CARES Act funding to help child care providers cover increased costs for greater cleaning and smaller class sizes. DeWine said the state will be conducting a research project to study best practices for stalling the spread of COVID-19 in child care settings. “There’s really no playbook out there for this,” DeWine said. Here’s what parents, children and caregivers can expect.

For any 2020 FCC match originally scheduled at Nippert Stadium that is canceled, postponed and not rescheduled after eight weeks from the original date – or will be played without spectators – fans can seek a refund for the value of the tickets.

Those looking ahead to next season can rollover payments for this year to their account and get a 10% appreciation credit on top of the ticket value to their 2021 account. “We were always committed we were going to do right by our fans, do right by our season ticket holders and obviously as we announce this, we’re still dealing with uncertainties of what the season for 2020 will entail,” Berding said. “Certainly, we understand that families are very challenged right now.

Festivals Continued from Page 1A

put on a festival. Another is St. Ignatius of Loyola. The Monfort Heights church hasn't canceled its festival at the end of August. St. Jude in Bridgetown has tacked an extra day onto its Oktoberfest in September and hopes to treat that as its annual festival. It's up to the individual parish on whether to hold a festival. The Archdiocese of Cincinnati has issued guidance on how to hold masses again, but nothing related to festivals, a spokesperson told The Enquirer. It's just a hope at this point. No one knows whether larger gatherings will be feasible then.

Plenty of fi sh leftover from Lent The many pounds of fi sh leftover from the canceled Lenten dinners could help some churches salvage something from the summer. There's a freezer full at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Burlington, said Andy Bockweg, a parish member and co-chairman of his church's summer festival. The parish's fi sh fry was halted after two weeks. Then, at the end of April, the church decided to cancel its festival scheduled for mid-July. They're just waiting for the church building to open up so they can retrieve the frozen fi sh, Bockweg said. But whether they can sell fi sh and when remains to be determined. "We still have fi sh in there," Bockweg said. "We kill it in our drive-thru. We do a really good job. This year we were on record pace. It was a shame to see that go." Parishioners are also considering holding an online raffl e. But it won't replace the festival, which draws 25,000 people each year.

Can chicken help Visitation? For one of the region's largest parishes, Our Lady of Visitation in Green Township, they're turning to chicken instead of ﬁ sh. Organizers of the festival for Our Lady of Visitation held out hope until midMay before canceling VisiFest, sched-

uled for Aug. 7-9. The festival nets the church about $100,000 a year. This year would have been the second time Nick Feldman has helmed VisiFest. The 23-year-old accountant this week stood in the parking lot of Visitation, his grade school alma mater, reminiscing about past festivals. It wasn't long ago he was hanging out here with friends. He's a bit of an anomaly in the church festival scene, often associated with an older crowd. He's not sure how he came to helm the festival he grew up with. "We needed someone," Feldman said. "I don't know how my name got thrown in there. But I had just graduated college. So I didn't have anything to do in the summer." He hasn't given up on this year. Visitation in August will look to retain some facets of the festival, most notably the popular chicken dinner. The plan is to oﬀ er a drive-thru chicken dinner in August. It might turn into a picnic if that is permissible, Feldman said. The church also plans on holding an online raﬄ es and award giveaways.

'Continue to trust in generosity of the people' What this loss of revenue will mean,

church oﬃ cials were reluctant to speculate. None of the churches said that the cancelation of 2020 festivals would lead to staﬀ cuts. The festivals bolster the operating budgets for schools but aren't the main source of income. For example, the festival at Our Lady of Lourdes in Westwood brings in about $50,000 to $60,000 a year, said Rev. Len Wenke, the church's pastor. The school's total budget is more than $2 million. For now, churches are weathering the storm. "We’re going to continue to draw savings for a period of time, and continue to trust in the generosity of the people," Wenke said.

Is this 'the nail in the coffin'? What about after 2020, if and when a vaccine for the novel coronavirus is developed and life begins to return to normal, or at least some semblance of it? Will church festivals return as before? No one really knows. Even before the pandemic, the popularity of the Catholic church festival in Cincinnati started to wane in recent years. "I think this might be the nail in the coﬃ n," said Dave Bauer. The 53-year-

old Bridgetown resident organized St. Aloysius Gonzaga festival for 10 years. He stepped down two years ago. With declining church attendance and greater competition from other entertainment, some churches may forgo the festival for something else. St. Martin of Tours in Cheviot did that 2017, ending its traditional festival for a November dinner known as Martinfest. "Everyone is fi ghting for the same Split-the-Pot money, unless you do something diff erent," Bauer said. Bauer has seen the rise and fall of the Catholic church festival in Cincinnati. His dad organized the St. Simon's festival in Delhi during the 1970s and 1980s. But then, in the mid-1980s, more churches organized festivals. It went from a church festival every other week, to multiple festivals in one weekend, he said. Today, there are too many festivals, he said. He's done the math and fi gures within 20 miles of St. Aloysius, there are 99 Catholic churches, 79 which have summer festivals. Competition forces churches to spend more to attract more people. But the more a church spends, the more a church risks. For a few years, St. Al's festival morphed into the Bridgetown Music Fest, booking acts like Molly Hatchet and Little River Band. With Molly Hatchet, the church sold $70,000 worth of beer and netted over $80,000. But rain the next year cut Little River Band's set to four songs. Bauer laughed. "That's $6,000 a song." The church lost money that year. It went back to a regular church festival, one that the parish canceled this year due to the pandemic. "I hope some of the festivals come back," Bauer said. "There are a lot of nice ones out there. In the future, festivals look bleak. A lot of it has to do with the age, millennials aren’t doing church festivals." Even organizers for popular ones like VisiFest have considered doing away with it in favor of something diff erent, Feldman said. "Every single time that topic brought up, it’s in agreement it’s worth it," Feldman said "People come from all over because they enjoy seeing people. It's just that community spirit they enjoy. It's something worth having."

Viewpoints No mom should have to bury her child Byron McCauley Columnist Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK – REGION

Chance Gilbert was shot and killed in a Mt. Airy apartment Sunday, May 17. Chance was 8. His death was the 34th homicide in Cincinnati since January, nearly tripling last year's homicide total as of mid-June. If you're looking for a reason behind the uptick, it could be surmised that we are in the middle of a pandemic with the economic and social pressure it brings. But the white-hot rise in killings, that doesn't make sense to me, considering we have overcome much worse. Police have not off ered details about Chance's death, but the grief captured by media on investigators' and counselors' faces at the apartment in its aftermath was telling. "It's devastating to lose a child in any way, shape or form, but to lose a child as a result of gunfi re, it's shocking," Lt. Steve Saunders, the spokesman for the Cincinnati Police Department, told me. "Obviously, the family and community and the residents of Hawaiian Terrace are feeling it more than anybody." Even without details surrounding how we lost Chance, his death is yet another wake-up call in a succession of them in our community. It's time to stop the violence now. It was time yesterday. And last year, when there were 73 homicides. This year in Cincinnati, someone, likely an African American man under 30, becomes a homicide victim every four or fi ve days. I saw a familiar face in the group the last month, an African American man with a Latininspired fi rst name. He died at age 20 from a gunshot in Westwood. When he was 10, he had bright eyes, thick eyebrows and an earnest demeanor. I remember him as one of the kids I tutored in reading at a Cincinnati Public School. I tell myself these are my nephews, not much diff erent than I was at their age. It's true. When I read police department alerts about some of them, it makes me weary. Weary because of their predictability. Weary also because of the horror made almost ordinary. A person I respect who helps Cincinnati families bury their kin told me of the pain he sees, especially in mothers, when it's her child being buried. "It leaves a

void in a family you can't even describe," he said. To my nephews, I'm going to make some assumptions and jump to conclusions. Your behavior is not acceptable. Period. Your ancestors bled and died and sacriﬁ ced so that you might thrive and not die at the hands of one another. It's time to take responsibility for yourself and for others. Do you really think the grandmother and mother you profess to love wants to bury you or visit you in prison? You might not be able to see it, but there are people out there who can and will help you. But you have to want them to. A collection of civic leaders, including Avondale attorney Ozie Davis, Iris Roley, Fanon Rucker, educator Belinda Tubbs Wallace and others, recently appeared in a YouTube video titled "The Village Mindset." It is a collective call for us to put down the guns and embrace unity.

"You have to show more empathy and love for one another. I ask that you stop killing each other. We are not our own enemy," said Cincinnati businessman Don Jordan. Please hear them. Nephews, I am one of you, having grown up when opportunities were plentiful but not as readily available as yours. I get it, though. It is not easy being young, black and male in America, but it is made substantially harder when you make war with your neighbor and settle your beef with a bullet. You are worth more than you think. It's time for you to get it together. Byron McCauley is an Enquirer columnist writing about the intersection of race, politics, social justice and free enterprise. Call him at (513) 768-8565.

As I was going through my notes from you, it dawned on me again that this column is a journal of sorts. Of your lives and mine. And it’s not just about food. In the process of cooking more and eating at home more during this pandemic, we’re realizing that eating together without having to rush out somewhere has its advantages. We’re continuing to be more frugal. Not wasting – thinking twice about tossing out over ripe bananas (refrigerate or freeze and make banana bread later). Or bell peppers whose skin is wrinkly from languishing in the vegetable drawer (cut in half, remove seeds, smoosh halves down, drizzle with oil. Grill, roast or broil, skin side up. Skin, then freeze). Even ﬁ nding joy instead of frustration during a long wait at the store. Translates to yes, we’re starting to get back to normal, carefully. Local strawberries will be ripening soon, if not already. I’m thinking that may be the reason for strawberry pie requests. “Like Frisch’s, if you can,” one reader asked. Here’s what I call a “new and improved” version of my

No real recipe, but for every cup of cream, stir in 1-2 tablespoons sugar and a tiny bit of vanilla if you like. Whip. Tip: Perfect baked pie crust Poke bottom and sides with fork. This is called docking and keeps crust flat. Roll dough 2-3” wider than pan. You won’t have to stretch dough to ﬁ t pan, which causes shrinking during baking.

Properly docked pie crust before baking.

Freezing strawberries

strawberry pie recipe. I’ve upped the lemon juice and cornstarch to assure a good gel since some strawberries are juicier than others, and that can make for a loosely set pie. My berries were more tart than usual, so I increased the sugar amount, too. That’s why you see a range in the recipe – you decide how much you need. Is this recipe as good as the pie Frisch’s is famous for? At my house, it’s a resounding yes. I hope it is for you, too.

Sports ‘GET PAT TO THE PIT’ Elder grad diagnosed with ALS during coronavirus Adam Baum Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Pat Emery, a 1983 Elder High School graduate, was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in March during the novel coronavirus pandemic. Emery's friends and family have started a fundraising campaign to get Pat a wheelchair-accessible van so he can make it back to The Pit to see Elder play football this season. PROVIDED

Pat Emery’s speech is a little labored these days. Short breaths break up his sentences, but the occasional pause pales in comparison to the passion and energy that still defi ne his voice. Pat was diagnosed in early March with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that aff ects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Seven years ago, a traumatic brain injury changed Pat’s life. He was starting to feel better two years ago when he fell from a two-foot step ladder and hit his head again. “My legs just gave out right from under me,” said Pat. “That was probably one of the fi rst signs.” Last year his oxygen levels started dropping and he was getting weaker. Pat was hospitalized a number of times. He had pneumonia and a blood clot in his hand. Standing unassisted became diffi cult. Then last November, Pat’s wife, Victoria, found him unconscious. “The fi remen, as they were transporting me, gave me a big dose of oxygen in the ambulance and I started to come to and the only thing I remember was the fi remen telling the hospital that I was blue in color. They told me I was very close to death,” said Pat. He stayed in the hospital for about a month, still without a diagnosis. Pat said his doctors found a blood clot on his lungs and another in his leg. The treatment for those clots made him feel better. “My wife and I and the doctors thought we fi nally found the cause,” said Pat, but earlier this year in January, he started falling again. After a third fall, Pat went back into the hospital, and one of the doctors Pat met decided to take a closer look at what was going on. “They just put me through the wringer, they fl ipped me on my head, fl ipped me on my back, made me stand … tons of diff erent testing,” said Pat. The testing and progression of his symptoms led Pat to an ALS specialist. “I’ll never forget it. He said, ‘Pat, you do have ALS,’ and he said, ‘I’ll give you six months to a year to live,’” Pat said through tears. “I knew deep down with all the testing and everything that I had it. “But to be told you only have months to live … it devastated me.” Remembering that moment, Pat’s seized by emotion. Between tears, he said, “In that very instant I was told, all I could think of was family and friends. I wanted to tell everybody how much I love them and how much they meant to me in my life. It wasn’t about me anymore. It was about See ALS, Page 2B

Wisconsin oﬀ ers La Salle RB Payne Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Big 10 continued its pursuit of La Salle running back Gi’Bran Payne on May 15 when the University of Wisconsin entered the fold with an offi cial off er. Payne announced the news on his Twitter. Payne, a four-star prospect according to 247sports, already holds Big 10 offers from Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Northwestern, Penn State and Purdue. Payne also holds off ers from the University of Kentucky and Cincinnati. In 2019, Payne was a second-team Greater Catholic League-South and alldistrict selection. The sophomore ran

for 790 yards and nine touchdowns while averaging over 10 yards per carry. He also found the end zone on three of his eight catches, fi nishing with 141 receiving yards. Payne had three 100-yard rushing performances, including two in the postseason. Payne ran 14 times for 129 yards and a score in La Salle’s 34-17 win over Massillon Washington in the Division II state title game. On the defensive end, Payne totaled 41 tackles, four sacks, three forced fumbles and a pair of interceptions, including a 95-yard pick-six in La Salle’s 45-8 win over Harrison in the regional fi nal. He had a season-high 11 tackles in the Lancers’ state semifi nal victory over Toledo Central Catholic.

OHSAA to expand football playoﬀ s in 2021

No. 9 at No. 8. In the second round, the No. 1 seed will play the winner of the 8 vs. 9 game; the No. 2 seed will play the winner of 6 vs. 11; the No. 3 seed will play the winner of 7 vs. 10 and the No. 4 seed will play the

winner of 5 vs. 12. The expansion will increase the number of football playoﬀ qualiﬁ ers from 224 to 336. Last year there were 709 schools in Ohio that played 11-man football. Football is the only OHSAA

team sport in which not every school qualifi es for the postseason. “We still have details to work out regarding the format and specifi c season dates, but this vote by the Board gives us the green light to fi nalize those details for 2021,” said Beau Rugg, Senior Director of Offi ciating and Sport Management for the OHSAA and the Association’s football administrator. “We are thankful for the Board’s support on this proposal, which will bring all the great things of playoff football to 112 additional schools and communities.” Rugg also noted that the football fi nals in 2021 are expected to end during the same weekend as previously scheduled (Dec. 2-5). Schools will still be permitted to play 10 regular-season contests. The higher seeded teams will have the opportunity to host their playoff games during the fi rst and second rounds of the playoff s. In 2019, 27 Cincinnati-area football teams made the playoff s. Under this rule, 43 would’ve made cut, including 10 in Divisions I through III.

he picked a purple one, but he doesn’t have a wheelchair-accessible van. So Jim, his wife, Teresa, and their three daughters, Emily, Erin and Ellie, came up with an idea. “We decided we wanted to do something for Pat,” said Jim. “So we set up this GoFundMe account.” The goal was $45,000 to get Pat a van so he can get to doctor’s appointments, visit his friends, and hopefully get back to The Pit for a football game in the fall. “We set this up last Monday and in one week we already raised $11,000,” said Jim. Since a WCPO story about Pat ran last week, the GoFundMe is now up over $15,000 and more people have oﬀ ered to help. Ryan Custer, a 2016 Elder grad who suﬀ ered a critical spinal cord injury three years ago, and his family have offered to let Pat use their van. “It means the world to him,” said Jim. It’s been a few years since Pat’s been able to attend a football game at Elder. “I’ve been online and there’s dream

things to where I could apply for almost like a make-a-wish for people with ALS and you go take an elaborate vacation,” said Pat. “But for me, and who I am, getting in a car and going to an Elder game or going with my wife to get ice cream, or going to a friend’s house on a warm day, sitting outside in my chair and being with people, that is more important than just taking a big vacation. “I don’t know how long I got ... I know one thing, I’m gonna fi ght it for as long as I can and be as strong as I can. I’ve given myself a goal of two years.” The kindness he’s received brings Pat to tears again. “Thank you,” he says as the words become more diffi cult to fi nd. “Just saying thank you doesn’t feel enough. There’s a ton of good people in this world. It is amazing. “I just pray that Elder play this year and I can get there. I want to be there. And I want to be there with my purple shirt on and my purple hat and I just want to have fun.”

Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Ohio High School Athletic Association recently announced in a press release that its Board of Directors voted unanimously to expand the OHSAA football playoff s from eight schools per region to 12, beginning in the 2021 season. The 9-0 affi rmative vote was given to a recommendation from the OHSAA staff , which was baded on a proposal from the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association. A source confi rmed to The Enquirer that there was a poll among Ohio high school football coaches regarding the expansion of the playoff s. The source also said there was a poll taken by coaches before the novel coronavirus pandemic regarding the possibility of spring high school football practices. During the fi rst round of the playoff s, the top four seeds will have a bye, while the No. 12 seed will play at the No. 5 seed, No. 11 at No. 6, No. 10 at No. 7 and

them and telling them what they meant to me.” The next day, Pat started calling the people he loves. “It was like everything seemed pressing for me to contact as many people as I could just so I could let them know how I felt about them and let them know that I care for them,” said Pat. “And I want to give them a hug but I’m not allowed right now because of the (coronavirus). That’s all I want to do is embrace people. It’s the hardest thing on earth.” One of the people Pat called was Jim Gardner. “Jimmy being one of my very best friends and it’s more than just Jimmy, it’s his whole family. The Gardner family are just amazing people,” Pat said. “I called them and told them. Jimmy, he says, ‘Pat, you got some time left, this

Jim graduated in 1981, but they didn’t know each other at Elder, they became friends later in the ’90s. Soon, they started going to football and basketball games at Elder. Jim even introduced Pat to Victoria, and they have two sons, Liam Emery and David Barber, Pat’s stepson. “Pat’s just a fun person to be around,” Jim said. “Very vibrant. I don’t know if you’ve met Pat, but Pat’s kind of a big guy and he was an exceptional racquetball player. You would see him and think you’re gonna kick his ass but Pat would take you to school.” Pat now uses a wheelchair. Of course,

Mahomes will announce the male and female athletes of the year, which are the top awards of the night. Mahomes, a native of Tyler, Texas, dazzled Chiefs fans during the 2019-20 season with come-from-behind rallies that ultimately led to the Chiefs’ ﬁ rst Super Bowl victory since their 1969 season. His poise and leadership during critical moments deﬁ ed his age, 24, and led to him becoming the youngest player in NFL history to be named the Super Bowl MVP. Mahomes joins a robust list of professional athletes who will be announcing the Player of the Year awards for each s sport covered during the show, including Venus Williams, Michael Phelps, Drew Brees, Wayne Gretzky, Gabby Douglas, Bode Miller, Jackie JoynerKersee, Gary Woodland, Misty May-Treanor, Jordan Burroughs, Norm Duke, Rose Lavelle, Jessica Mendoza

The show will premiere at 6 p.m. on June 18 and is free to watch using any desktop or smart device on our event website. Not all state-sanctioned sports will be included in the Player of the Year awards due to spring sport cancellations required by the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, there will be a recognition of seniors who missed their ﬁ nal sports seasons as part of a national tribute video that will be included in the broadcast. The public can also show support of seniors who missed their ﬁ nal games and celebrations by joining in the national social media movement with support messages on Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #DontStopNow. One person nationally who posted using #DontStopNow will win $1,000 for themselves and $1,000 for the charity of their choice.

COMMUNITY NEWS Strengthen faith and improve health at home SoulCore classes, which combine the prayers of the rosary with corestrengthening, stretching and functional movement, were supposed to start at the end of April at Our Lady of Victory parish in Delhi. Unfortunately, due to the stay at home order, this could not happen. At fi rst it was thought that the classes would need to be postponed until restrictions were lifted, but then it was determined that prayer and physical movement might be able to help people more than ever right now. The decision was made to create a group and have classes live on Facebook. Members of the group can watch and participate in the class from their phone, tablet or computer at their own home. In addition to the movement and prayers, SoulCore classes include music, scripture and meditations on Christ’s life. You do not need to be Catholic or know how to say the rosary to take part in a SoulCore class. All fi tness levels can participate. The movements vary from class to class, and classes off ered include a mat class, a chair class, a kids’ class and also a class for families to do together. Until restrictions are lifted and people can meet again in groups, classes will be off ered live on Facebook. More information can be found at www.soulcore.com or at SoulCore Cincinnati on Facebook. If you are interested in scheduling a group class at your parish or school in the future, contact Michele at mvollmer365@gmail.com or 513-706-1324. Michele Vollmer

Ninth Degree Tae Kwon Do black belt offers hope during quarantine Cincinnati Martial Arts Club owner, Grandmaster McDuﬃ e Strickland, has rolled out a new program, ofering meetings via Zoom to keep people who are isolated in their homes connected, motivated and healthy. Grandmaster Strickland received the most prestigious honor of achieving his 9th Degree Blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do on March 14, 2020, just before facilities shut down for COVID-19. In order to keep clients connected to the school and

SoulCore participants pray together and workout together online. PROVIDED

oﬀ er hope during a scary time in our history, Grandmaster Strickland has released his inspirational series, “Holistically Surviving the Quarantine.” In this vignette of intimate videos, he explains how to stay positive during a time of uncertainty. He is also working on workout videos that will focus on holistic embodiment with Daily Aﬃ rmations and Meditation but also fastpaced High Intensity Interval Training, Boxing and Martial Arts. “This is a really scary time in our history.” Strickland says, “I need to share some light with people so they know there is hope at the end of this.” As a student, Strickland started studying Tae Kwon Do in 1973 under Mr. Mike Gardner. Now, with over 47 years of experience, Mr. Strickland brings his own unique method of teaching to all ages. In 1981, Mr. Strickland began researching self-defense systems and in

1985 he became a Certiﬁ ed Fitness Trainer. He was inducted into the United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame in July, 2006. Master McDuﬃ e Strickland believes in investing time in our community’s school children. CMAC has visited a number of local schools and brought his unique method of teaching to the Oak Hills School District, Cincinnati Public Schools, Catholic Schools, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Talbert House, Stepping Stones and Butler Tech. Strickland empowers the students, teachers and parents by including them in social skills, verbal drills and educational games that teach communication and teamwork. Grandmaster Strickland is particularly excited about this series as he has become a motivational speaker through Toastmasters International. Strickland spreads his tenants of respect, discipline, determination, perserverance

and confi dence in every facet of his life. His passion for anti-bullying programs and giving children the self-confi dence they need to interact with classmates in a pro-social and determined spirit guides his practice. He is looking forward to off ering these principles to people of all ages who are searching for meaning, purpose and good health. For more information call or visit http://cmactkd.com/.

videos to provide educational and emotional support to their Club members and other children in the community. “Our doors may be closed, but our mission never stops. We’ve been excited to launch our Virtual Club platform,” said Bill Bresser, CEO for the Boys & Girls Club. The online programming is open to all children and their parents in the community. Parents can also fi nd COVID-19 resources for meals, food pantries and educational and government sites on the virtual site. Bresser said, “Just because kids are at home, it doesn’t mean they can’t continue to follow our program model. Our program model calls for our organization to focus on the outcomes that are crucial to a young person’s growth: academic success, healthy lifestyles and good citizenship.” Staff members developed a schedule of weekly activities that are posted to the Club’s website. The focus is on fun activities that support the Club’s goals and educational activities that help children retain their academic skills. All of the activities can be done easily with materials at home. “Our Club is about creating leaders,” said Bresser. “Our staff understands that now is a fantastic time to become an example of how to handle adversity for our kids. What we do when no one is watching defi nes us.” Casey Morris, Director of Program Quality and Development, said, “Virtual Club was a collective idea. Shortly after the stay-at-home orders we started to see other organizations developing virtual content and recognized the need to remain connected with our families. Our leadership team and Sydney Maxwell, our Marketing & Development Coordinator, have been instrumental in getting this off the ground and making it better each week.” The virtual activities are categorized by theme, with a diff erent theme each day of the week. Make It Monday features activities that are fun and educational. Children can learn how to make play dough or how to bake cupcakes. Time to Read Tuesday videos are perfect for busy parents who may not have time to read to their child each day. The videos show various staff members reading a book or playing literacy games. Children who are read to daily increase their vocabulary while helping to improve the child’s ability to read. Children who read daily increase their vocabulary and comprehension skills. Work It Out Wednesday had the staff members of the Sheakley Club challenging each other to hop from “lily pad to lily pad”. The lily pads were fl at obstacles on the fl oor and the idea was to score the fastest time hopping, without falling off the lily pad. Children and families can do the simple exercises and energizing games at home to move and stay in shape.

Western Hills Garden Club wins grant for Delhi Historical Society Farmhouse Gardens Garden Club of Ohio, Inc. recently awarded Western Hills Garden Club a Dorothy Kountz Grant to help fund the gardens at the Delhi Historical Society Farmhouse, 468 Anderson Ferry Road. The funds will be used to help maintain four garden areas at the Farmhouse. The ﬁ rst is a perennial garden consistent with the farmhouse look from the early 1900s. Mary Finn, a member of the Delhi Historical Society and the WHGC, is chairman of this garden. She and the other members of her committee have maintained this garden which includes perennials, bulbs,

and old-fashioned roses since 2003. The second area is a Victorian Herb Garden which was installed in 2016 near the kitchen entrance and contains the types of culinary, aromatic and medicinal herbs that would have been found in a kitchen garden in the early 1900s. A brochure was created listing the names and uses of the herbs and is available for all Farmhouse visitors. In 2018 these two gardens won the Garden Club of Ohio, Inc. First Place Historic Preservation Award. Starting in 2018, two more gardens were added, an annual garden around the new historical society sign on the front lawn, and a pollinator garden in an area behind the Farmhouse. In this last garden, perennials including many native varieties were planted to attract pollinators. Tags help visitors identify the ﬂ owers and herbs grown in all these gardens. In 2019, these gardens joined the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden Plant for Pollinators program. Twenty Western Hills Garden Club members volunteer in these gardens on a weekly basis. The members prepare the soil in the spring, plant, mulch, weed, prune, and water the plants during the growing season. Sue Ann Vogt, Western Hills Garden Club
