downtown Cincinnati, make some extra time to experience the quality and excellence The Cincinnatian Hotel has to offer. Whether out for cocktails or a great meal, you are steps away from an experience you will literary want to write home about. Let’s look at the rich history of this Cincinnati landmark. Built in 1882, The Cincinnatian Hotel was designed as a grand hotel of the nineteenth century originally named The Palace Hotel; this eight-story French Second Empire hotel was the tallest building in Cincinnati. The hotel had 300 guest rooms, includ-
ing six suites. As the very best hotel in the city, The Palace Hotel was proud to provide elevators and incandescent lighting. The Palace Hotel’s name was changed in the early 1950’s to The Cincinnatian Hotel. Several years later, after closing for four years and $25 million dollars in renovations, The Cincinnatian reopened in 1987 as the grand hotel it is now. During the extensive renovation process the room count was reduced from the original 300 rooms to approximately half that amount in order to accommodate larger guest rooms with private baths. However, the

elegance and flavor of original The Palace Hotel were maintained in the renovation process. It was important during renovation to maintain the grand exterior facade of the hotel with its mansard roof and inside, of course, the grand staircase of marble and walnut as well as the original safe from The Palace Hotel, which is now on display in The Cricket Lounge.

Region’s newest pro sports team is a case study in business networking, Cincinnati style by Dan Monk, WCPO Business Reporter
CINCINNATI - Jeff Berding didn’t have to ask the Lindner family to back a new professional soccer team in Cincinnati. Carl Lindner III called him to get involved. “I kind of got wind that Jeff had been talking to the USL,” said Lindner, Co-CEO of American Financial Group Inc., in an interview with WCPO at the debut press conference for FC Cincinnati. “It was an investment opportunity and an opportunity to have fun that my family and I couldn’t pass up.” Lindner is the majority owner of Cincinnati’s newest professional team, the 26 franchise approved by the fast-growing United Soccer League. The team will debut at the University of Cincinnati’s Nippert Stadium next March. With a “deep pockets” ownership group and a 40,000seat venue for its games, many consider FC Cincinnati the best chance for pro soccer success that Cincinnati has ever had.
But it’s also a testament to the power of business networking, Cincinnati style. Berding’s six-year journey to the position of president and general manager of FC Cincinnati is one of patience, persis-
tence and lots of connections. From the political contacts Berding met during his six years on Cincinnati City Council to the business leaders he befriended while sell-
ing luxury seats for the Cincinnati Bengals, Berding worked them all in his quest to make pro soccer viable in the Tri-State. “I respect everyone who’s tried this and appreciate their efforts,” Berding said. “We’re standing on the efforts that many have made up to this point. But I do think we’re bringing the resources and the people to be successful at the highest level.” So, here’s a look at the 20 years of networking that made Berding’s big day possible Wednesday. Coaches, Kings and High School Classmates It started six years ago, when Berding was introduced to Mike Mossel by veteran Cincinnati soccer coach Jack Hermans. Berding was working for the Bengals at the time and serving on city council. Mossel was CEO of the Dayton Dutch Lions. He wanted to be in Cincinnati, but discovered

that licensing rights were held by another organization. Kings Soccer Academy was the Northern Kentucky-based youth program for the Cincinnati Kings, which held a USL license but folded in 2009. “I led the effort with Hammer FC to merge with Kings” in 2013, said Berding. “One of the unintentional outcomes of that partnership is that the folks at Town and Country gave up their license for having professional soccer in the Greater Cincinnati community. At that point, Mike started having discussions with the USL” about moving the Dutch Lions to Cincinnati. A quick side note: The Kings-Hammer merger brought some high-test marketing talent to FC Cincinnati. Gary De Jesus, who was president of Hammer FC when the youth programs merged, spent 17 years with Procter & Gamble Co. before launching his own branding firm in 2011.
He’s now in charge of marketing and communications for FC Cincinnati. While Mossel explored franchise talks with the league, Berding reached back to St. Xavier High School to assemble his ownership group. With a “deep pockets” ownership group and a 40,000-seat venue for its games, many consider FC Cincinnati the best chance for pro soccer success that Cincinnati has ever had. “I went to high school with Ronnie Joseph,” whose family runs the region’s third-largest auto dealer group, Berding said. “I knew that George (Joseph) and his brothers played soccer in an adult soccer league. So, George was the businessperson I called as a friend to say, ‘Do you think this would work? And do you want to be a part of it?’”
After that came calls to Jack Wyant, managing director of Blue Chip Venture Co., Cincinnati’s oldest venture capital firm, and Steve Hightower, CEO of Hightowers Petroleum Co., which is the region’s largest minority-owned company. He knew both men through his work on city council and the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber of Commerce. The founding partners knew they would need to attract a bigger gun as majority owner, but the group quickly established the biggest challenge would be finding a place to play. “Cincinnati doesn’t really have a soccer-specific stadium,” Mossel said. “We were not looking to build something for 5,000 fans. From day one, we were looking to do something really unique. So, UC from the beginning was one of our goals.” So, the ownership group hired Mark McCullers to investigate whether the team

could make Nippert Stadium its permanent home. McCullers was president of the Columbus Crew MLS team until an ownership change turned him into a consultant in 2014. “We thought if we could get something done at UC that would be the appropriate time to see if we could find someone” to be majority owner, Berding said. “But before we found someone, someone found us.” Carl Lindner III Sees ‘Pent Up Demand’ for Cincinnati Soccer Success That someone was Lindner, son of the founder of American Financial, and a leader of one of Cincinnati’s wealthiest families. Berding and Lindner have known each other for years, having worked on riverfront development issues and political campaigns. Berding sold the Lindners season tickets at Paul Brown Stadium and bought club seats at Great American Ball Park. When Lindner “got wind” of a potential USL team negotiating to use Nippert Stadium, he invited the Berding to lunch. “From day one, we were looking to do something really unique. So, UC from the beginning was one of our goals.” – Mike Mossel “I really gained an appreciation for his experience, his passion for soccer,” Lindner said. “I felt like Jeff was really the perfect individual to spearhead this in the community.” Lindner brought his entire family into the ownership group. That includes his wife, Martha, and their children, Christopher, Carl IV and Matthew Lindner, their sister, Blake Thompson, and her husband, David Thompson. Lindner said his family loves the sport
and he’s long been interested in the business of soccer, thanks to his father’s relationship with Phil Anschutz, a Los Angeles-based investor who at one time owned five Major League Soccer franchises. In the past, Lindner considered investing in MLS teams, but decided he’d rather be involved in a Cincinnati effort. He thinks Cincinnati could someday be an MLS market. But in the meantime, he’s committed to being “a long-term investor” in the USL’s viability in Cincinnati. “My family has done many startups,” he said. “You have to be patient and nurture them along. Things don’t happen overnight. My gut on this one, though, is that there’s a pent up demand to have a quality team. I think there’s an opportunity to have a very competitive team and a financially successful team also.” Mossel said the team will operate with an annual budget of a few million dollars and has a first-year goal of attracting 10,000 fans per game. While it has a license agreement to lease Nippert Stadium, it’s still negotiating with UC about a modification of the football facility for soccer. Neither Berding nor UC officials would say how much the modification would cost or who would pay for it. Berding said the changes will include new fan amenities that make Nippert a better place to watch soccer, football and other collegiate sports. UC Athletic Director Mike Bohn said the modification is needed to make more room for corner kicks on the stadium’s south end. Mossel said it could make Nippert a viable option as a permanent home for pro soccer in Cincinnati. As for whether the team itself will be viable, Berding said that won’t be known for months, ifnot years. “Let’s see how many season ticket deposits we get,” he said. “Let’s see if we can get our sponsorships lined up. Let’s
see if we can get a broadcast deal. You know, those will be some of the measures. But I’m not going to sit here today and make predictions other than we’re going to work very hard and think there’ll be support.” I think there’s an opportunity to have a very competitive team and a financially successful team also.” – Carl Lindner III Lindner said UC’s involvement, the recruitment of U.S. soccer legend John Harkes as head coach and the business networks forged over the years by Berding and the Lindner family lead him to believe the venture will work. “Jeff’s a great businessman,” Lindner said. “Our family, we like success. I think over the first couple years we might surprise everyone.” n

Super Bowl’s Golden Anniversary 50 Years and Still Going Strong by Keith Sprunk IN THE BEGINNING, GOD CREATED Heaven & Earth… then came The NFL & the Super Bowl. When the National Football League (NFL) opened its doors in 1920, they successfully fended off several rival leagues. But in 1960 a fledging new league called the American Football League (AFL) led by some really big money guys like Lamar Hunt (Houston Oilers then Kansas City Chiefs) opened their doors with 8 teams. From 1960 through 1966 the AFL struggled financially, but the BIG change took place in April of 1966,
when a young guy named Al Davis, who had turned the Oakland Raiders around, was named as the new Commissioner of the American Football League. Like him or hate him, Davis probably was more important to the merger of the two leagues than any other single person. Davis and the AFL had tried for six years to draft college football players, but constantly lost out to the older NFL. When Davis was named the new Commissioner of the American Football League he immediately went after every
16 ULT I M AT E S E P T E M B ER -O C T O B ER 2 0 1 5
NFL quarterback, hiring seven from the National Football League. The NFL immediately contacted Lamar Hunt, Tex Schramm, Barron Hilton, Joe Robbie and other AFL owners and asked for a private meeting without Al Davis. Several of the NFL owners, including Commissioner Pete Rozelle, were concerned about the escalating cost of players and the possible split over television revenue. From that secret meeting came what we know today as the NFL.

East – Dallas Cowboys – New York Giants – Philadelphia Eagles – St. Louis Cardinals – Washington Redskins Central – Chicago Bears – Detroit Lions – Green Bay Packers – Minnesota Vikings West – Atlanta Falcons – Los Angeles Rams – New Orleans Saints – San Francisco 49ers
East – Baltimore Colts – Buffalo Bills – Miami Dolphins – Boston Patriots – New York Jets Central – Cincinnati Bengals – Cleveland Browns – Houston Oilers – Pittsburgh Steelers West – Denver Broncos – Kansas City Chiefs – Oakland Raiders – San Diego Chargers
They agreed to the following: • The two league champions (NFL & AFL) would play in an NFL-AFL Championship game in early January of 1967. • By 1970 the two leagues would merge into one league called the National Footbal League. • The two leagues would have a combined draft for college players. • Pete Rozelle would remain on as Commissioner of the new NFL. These changes were announced on June 8, 1966 and on July 25, 1966, Al Davis resigned as Commissioner of the AFL. Al Davis lasted only three and a half months but by going after the National Football League quarterbacks, he put a merger between the two leagues on a fast-track.
The Early Years The biggest worry in those early years was that the National Football League was far superior then the junior American Football League, and that they would not be able to compete. The first two years of the NFL/AFL Championship Games saw the NFL Green Bay Packers, led by quarterback Bart
the National Football League on expansion. That led Brown to meet with the AFL. Even though he didn’t want to put a team in the American Football League, he agreed in 1967 that he would begin play in the 1968 season, as long as he was guaranteed that the Cincinnati franchise would become part of the 1970 merger of the American Football League into the National Football League.
The 1970 Merger
Starr crush the Kansas City Chiefs 35-10 in the initial game and then easily defeated the Oakland Raiders in the 1968 game by a score of 33-14. Then came the 1969 Championship Game – the first to officially bear the name “Super Bowl” – which would be the final game between the two leagues before the 1970 merger. The game pitted the AFL New York Jets, led by quarterback Joe Namath against the the powerful NFL Baltimore Colts. Namath was a good quarterback, but most people remember Broadway Joe for his famous guarantee that his New York Jets would defeat the Baltimore Colts. The Jets went on to win 16-7 and kept the Colts from scoring until late in the 4th quarter. When the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Minnesota Vikings the following year 23-7, nobody ever again questioned that the AFL could compete with the NFL.
In 1970, there were 16 teams in the National Football League and 10 teams in the American Football League. The realignment forced 3 teams from the NFL to move to the AFL. Those 3 teams were the Baltimore Colts, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns. That gave the new NFL a total of 26 teams, with 13 in the National Football Conference and 13 in the American Football Conference (see chart on left). The NFC has won 26 Super Bowls and the AFC has won 23 times.
The Birth of the Cincinnati Bengals The legendary Paul Brown had been trying to put an NFL team in Cincinnati, but was having trouble getting a commitment from
Tickets to the first AFL-NFL Championship Game in 1967 (shown above) topped out at $12. The highest face value of tickets in 2015 was in the $1,900 range.

HIS TORY
Drinking Up History Celebrating Cincinnati’s Brewing Heritage. by Steven Hampton
THE ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1863-64 of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce clearly did not exaggerate when it said that “a large number of citizens would dispense with their bread rather than their beer.” An Englishman named Davis Embree started the first commercial brewery in Cincinnati by 1812. By 1836, the number of breweries had increased to ten, most of which produced porter, ale, and stout that was characteristic of the English, Irish, and French brewers of the time. The Over-the-Rhine brewing tradition began when a German immigrant established the first brewery in the neighborhood at the site of the Jackson Brewery in 1829, but it was not until a new lager beer that had been first brewed in the 1830’s in Bavaria became popular with the

heavily German, fast growing urban population that the industry took off. The German immigrants who settled in Over-the-Rhine brought with them a strong brewing tradition, work ethic, and cultural identity. The web that held this cultural enclave together were the neighborhood saloons and biergartens and the beer that flowed there. By 1870 there were 36 breweries in the greater Cincinnati area, with at least 15 concentrated in Over-the-Rhine and another 3 in the West End. Many established themselves north of Liberty Street, in what is now the Brewery District. The location at the base of the hills ringing the river basin provided the opportunity for deep basements and hillside tunnels under the breweries. The constant cool temperature assisted in the lagering of the beer in the days before mechanical refrigeration. By 1890, Cincinnati was the 3rd largest beer producer in the country by population, annually producing 4.2 barrels of beer per
resident and shipping it across the country and around the world, over 1.1 million barrels each year. The distinct sense of place now associated with Over-the-Rhine developed largely between 1860 and 1900. Most of the buildings in the area date from this period and
still reflect everyday life in the community during the late nineteenth century. During this period, the German influence reached its peak. Institutions that embodied the German spirit and character helped to shape the community, both physically and culturally. Many of these meeting halls, theaters, churches,
stores, breweries, light industrial buildings, beer garden, and cultural institutions still stand today. Prohibition in 1919 drove most of the city’s breweries out of business forever. A number of breweries were able to reopen in 1933, along with a few new ones, but changing market forces and the rise of modern, national breweries hastened the end. By 1973 the Cincinnati region was home to just three local breweries, and by the late 1990’s no local breweries were left. For much of its history, Cincinnati has failed to celebrate and preserve our brewing heritage. Dozens of historic breweries have been demolished, once proud names were forgotten, and Over-the-Rhine – the former epicenter of Cincinnati brewing – was neglected and left to be. The Brewery District Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation (Brewery District CURC) (www.otrbrewerydistrict.org) organized to change this, founded as a small,

H ISTO RY establishing new and more development friendly historic districts, developing Complete Streets throughout the neighborhood for better bike and pedestrian use, improved neighborhood parks and recreation areas, and attracting craft-based businesses to the large amount of vacant commercial space in the neighborhood. The primary initiative the Brewery District CURC agreed to lead was the building of the Cincinnati Brewing Heritage Trail (www.brewingheritagetrail.org). The Brewing Heritage Trail is the story of American immigration, ingenuity, ethnic conflict, industrialization, the labor struggle, working class society, nineteenth century living conditions, machine politics, the impact of saloon culture on families and government, and the impact of a constitutional amendment on local economies told through the production and consumption of a single commodity – beer. The rich history of Cincinnati’s brewing
hood celebration of beer and history, as well as the popular Biergarten at Findlay Market. In 2006 the Brewery District CURC started the first large scale heritage tours of Overthe-Rhine, which now escort thousands of visitors a year through the streets, historic buildings, and underground brewery spaces of the neighborhood. Through these creative re-introductions to Cincinnati’s relationship with beer, the community has become re-energized by plans for what this neighborhood could look like in the future. In early 2011 the Brewery District CURC created a new strategic plan, leveraging this growing excitement for Cincinnati’s beer history and of course with a steadfast commitment to putting this community on a national stage – creating a vibrant, healthy place to live, work and play. The professionally driven process sought targeted input from key stakeholders and professionals. The resulting plan and its initiatives include
grass-roots non-profit dedicated to the revitalization of Cincinnati’s Brewery District. They are telling the story of Cincinnati’s brewing history to all who will listen; identifying crumbling buildings that were once at the epicenter of Cincinnati’s culture and economy; and sharing a vision for our future that takes pride in the city’s brewing heritage. In 2005, the Brewery District CURC became a 501(c)(3) non-profit to assist furthering the group’s mission: making the Brewery District a healthy, balanced and supportive neighborhood economy by preserving, restoring and redeveloping our unique brewing history and historic urban fabric. The Brewery District CURC carries out its mission through social programming, educational and advocacy activities, business partnering and strategic urban planning. These activities include the annual Bockfest festival (www.bockfest.com), a neighbor-

The Brewing Heritage Trail is approximately 2 miles of urban walking trail weaving through Cincinnati’s Central Business District as well as the neighborhoods of Pendleton and Over-the-Rhine. The Trail will be embedded into the fabric of the community, bringing new life and a fresh perspective on the neighborhoods and business districts it passes through. The Trail will include bronze medallions embedded in the public right-of-way to guide the way and a series of industrial themed signage to tell the story. Public art pieces consisting of sculpture and large and small murals will be staggered along the Trail, giving additional opportunities to attract and engage visitors while providing additional interpretive moments. A combination of a website, audio tour apps, and interactive digital installations will deliver content in a memorable and engaging way, setting this trail apart from any other in the world. In 2013, the Brewery District CURC kicked off Cincinnati’s newest tradition to benefit the Brewing Heritage Trail – the Beer Baron Ball (www.beerbaronball.org). This event attracted over 800 of Cincinnati’s best to the Horseshoe Casino’s ballroom, which was transformed into a celebration of Cincinnati’s brewing heritage with spectacular food, beer, music, and art. Over $100,000 has been raised over the past two years to fund the Brewing Heritage Trail. This year’s Beer Baron Ball is October 23, 2015 in the Horseshoe Casino Ballroom, and 100% of the proceeds from the Ball are again dedicated to the Trail. Come celebrate our brewing history in the grandest of style and support bringing the Trail to life! n SE P T E MBE R-OCT OBE R 2 0 1 5

Southwest Ohio’s High School Football Champions THE 2004 MOVIE FRIDAY NIGHT Lights presented the story of Permian High School’s drive for the 1988 Texas state football championship. Big crowds, ardent fans, and complete community devotion to the program was the norm. As it turns out, high school football is a big thing in Texas. Really big. Ditto for Ohio. Big-time Ohio high school football is usually characterized as a battle for supremacy between northeast Ohio and southwest Ohio. The northern teams are historically strong, with recognizable names like Cleveland St.

Ignatius and Lakewood St. Edward. If you are a graduate of one of those schools, in your mind, all others come up short. But Cincinnati will be more than happy to stack its best up against northern Ohio. Moeller…St. Xavier… Elder… Colerain. In this millennium, those four school have accounted for seven D-1 state championships while northeast Ohio has notched five. The rest reside in central Ohio. Arguably the toughest conference in the nation is the Greater Catholic League South, or GCL South for short. It is comprised of just four schools: Moeller, St. Xavier, Elder, and

LaSalle. Their strength isn’t just my opinion. On-line MaxPreps ranks football conferences and the GCL South is frequently nationally ranked as a top-ten conference. In their most recent poll, the GCL South was ranked third in the nation, behind New Jersey’s Big North-United League and California’s Trinity League. It was just a couple years before that that the GCL South was ranked as the toughest league in the nation. What makes a conference tough? Start with the competition they play. In the GCL South, schools often play top teams from
throughout the country and they sport a remarkably good winning percentage. Toss in state titles. Is there another conference in the country that has every school in the conference with a championship banner? Moeller has seven and St. Xavier and Elder each boast two of their own. For good measure, count in LaSalle’s 2014 D-2 championship. That brings the total GCL South state football championships to a cool dozen. Lastly, count national championships. The Moeller Crusaders, under high school legend Jerry Faust, claimed four national titles. Not too shabby.

Arguably the toughest conference in the nation is the Greater Catholic League South, or GCL South for short. It is comprised of just four schools: Moeller, St. Xavier, Elder, and LaSalle.
G
reat high school football in Greater Cincinnati is not exclusively about the GCL South though. In 2004, public school Colerain High broke the Catholic stranglehold on large-school state titles and joined Princeton (1983) and Fairfield (1986) as public large-school titleholders. There has been a concerted effort by the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) to get competition on a level playing field. From 1972 through 1979, there were only three classification levels, all based on enrollment—AAA, AA, and A. It was very difficult for smaller schools in a division to compete with much larger ones, even though they were technically the same classification. In 1980, the OHSAA expanded to five divisions before a sixth was added in 1994 and a seventh in 2013. There is still a public schools vs. parochial schools debate that may someday result in large private Catholic schools getting their own classification and a separate state title game. Many other Cincinnati area schools have since won titles, including Franklin Bishop Fenwick (1973 & 1974), Wyoming (1977), Purcell Marian (1986), Cincinnati Academy of Physical Education (1986 & 1987), Anderson (2007), Winton Woods (2009), Loveland (2013, and Clinton Massie (2012 & 2013).

Do you want craziness? Go to a game at Elder’s famed “Pit.” Built by students and parents over an 18 year period in the 30’s and 40’s, it holds 10,000 crazed fans.
O
n any given Friday night, and the occasional Saturday, thousands of fans line up for tickets to their favorite school’s game. They come decked out in school colors, faces painted, ready to scream and urge their team on. And these are the adults. Student sections are packed and rowdy, many overflowing with standing room only. Do you want craziness? Go to a game at Elder’s famed “Pit.” Built by students and parents over an 18 year period in the 30s and 40s, it holds 10,000 crazed fans. The stands reach almost to the field and only five yards separate the players from the crowd. Talk about a home field advantage! Maybe this is why The Pit is known as Elder’s 12th man. For the big games—the REALLY big games, a game’s location is sometimes moved to accommodate an unusually large attendance. The University of Cincinnati’s Nippert Stadium has hosted games as has the home of the Bengals, Paul Brown Stadium. In 2001, PBS was the site for a high school double header. St. Xavier defeated Princeton 6-0 and Elder beat Colerain 35-21. Care to guess the attendance for the doubleheader? Try 47,743. Big crowds and rabid fans are not exclusive to the large schools though. For example, travel to nearby Clarksville Ohio, population 548 and home of Clinton Massie High School. They won the Division IV state titles in 2013 and 2014. A Friday home game simply serves to relocate the town’s population from their homes to the football field’s stands. Add in a huge number from the surrounding rural region and you get a packed stadium louder than you can imagine. Make no mistake about it. These fans are true FANatics and they take just as much pride in the hometown team as the biggest schools in Ohio. Maybe even more because football serves as a unifying and rallying point for that community. Head out to a game there or at any of dozens of other smaller schools and feel the pulse of the community.
Of course they also play great football south of the Ohio River and Northern Kentucky is blessed with stellar tradition too. Small-school Beechwood High has won 11 state championships in Class 1A while Highlands has 21 titles in three different divisions. Throw in multiple championships for Newport Catholic and Covington Catholic and you have a region that dominates Kentucky football. Great high school football also leads to great local college football. College rosters are loaded with players from the Greater Cincinnati area. A quick glance at 2015 rosters reveals that Ohio State boasts eight members from this area, Indiana University has six, and the University of Kentucky has five. The University of Cincinnati and Miami University are naturally loaded with home grown talent with a combined twenty-five players that call Cincy home. Mid-majors also get their share of great players. Ohio University dips into the talent pool and has five players from this region. Plus, smaller D II and D III schools are loaded with so much talent that it is nearly impossible to count everyone. But if you do the research you will find that Mount St. Joseph has more than fifty Cincinnati-area players on their roster and Thomas More has over seventy-five! Undoubtedly, some of these players will make their way into the professional ranks, including the indoor leagues, the Canadian Football League, and the ultimate level of the National Football League. Since the inception of the NFL, nearly two-hundred Cincinnati-area players have suited up. And this doesn’t include dozens more from

Apologies are offered to those not mentioned. Bengal fans will definitely want Kevin Huber included on the list. A McNicholas and University of Cincinnati graduate, he has been one of the best punters in the NFL since 2009, averaging 44.6 yards per punt for his career. I remember meeting him when he was still in high school. He was named Cincinnati-area punter of the year for both his junior and senior seasons and he told me he was going to “try out as a kicker for UC and hoped to someday play in the NFL.”
Arguably the greatest Cincinnati High School player of all time is Roger Staubach, proud graduate of Purcell High School.

any successful football careers have started on dirt and grass fields just down the way on Anywhere Street, Cincinnati Ohio, USA. Cincinnati’s collective high school tradition is graced with recent names such as Vince Clark (Cincinnati Academy of Physical Education), Bob Crable (Moeller), Marc Edwards (Norwood), and Napoleon McCallum (Milford). Old-timers may recall Elder’s Bob Fry or St. Xavier’s George Ratterman. Both played in the NFL in the 40’s and 50’s and are legends at those schools. Arguably the greatest Cincinnati player of all time is Roger Staubach, proud graduate of Purcell High School. Attending the US Naval Academy, he won the Heisman Trophy in 1963 then quarterbacked the Dallas Cowboys in their glory days, taking them to four Super Bowls, winning twice. In 1985, he received the ultimate honor: election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This fall, make plans to attend a high school game. You might just see the next great college or professional player from the area. More likely, you will see young men giving it everything they have to bring glory to their school and their community. Have some fu with that. n

Take a Hike!
Exploring The Edge of Appalachia Preserve by Max West

THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE that aren’t big sports fans. Seriously. While they may not follow the gladiator-like combatants that take to the turf, they do enjoy getting outside, exerting themselves with a good hike or climb, and experiencing nature at its finest. If you fit this mold, here is an option for you. When you think of the Cincinnati Museum Center, an image of iconic Union Terminal naturally pops into your head. It is one of Cincinnati’s most enduring and unique landmarks and is home to several wonderful museums and research centers including the Cincinnati History Museum, the Museum of Natural History, and the Duke Energy Children’s Museum. The Cincinnati Museum Center helps to enrich our region’s cultural, educational, and scientific communities. But there is another lesser known division within the Center and it is one you may not have heard of. To explore it, you need to travel east to rural Adams County and the communities of
West Union and Lynx. They’re an hour and a half east of Union Terminal and home to the Edge of Appalachia Preserve. The Cincinnati Museum Center, in joint cooperation with The Nature Conservancy, has established this preserve in this highly rural, hilly and forested part of the state. What exactly is the Nature Conservancy? Quite precisely, it is an environmental and ecological organization whose mission is to preserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Theirs is a global perspective, working in over 30 counties as well as all fifty US states. They achieve their goals one acre at a time. Some land is purchased and some is donated via endowments and estate settlements. They even have an “Adopt an Acre” program where even the smallest contribution will help. Addressing urgent ecological issues, they work to protect habitats, whether desert or ocean, collaborating with industry as well as local populace in the communities where they work. Less political than most
other nature-related organizations, their efforts are very grass roots. You can take that both literally and figuratively. The Edge of Appalachia Preserve is a perfect example of their work. Encompassing 14,000 acres, The Edge of Appalachia is a naturalist’s dream-come-true featuring sharp hills and deep valleys with waterfalls, gorges, and spectacular views. Over 100 unique and rare species of animal and plant life add to the allure. The best times to visit are the spring, when flowers spring into full bloom, and in the fall when changing fall foliage turns the landscape into a rainbow of incredible color. The Edge of Appalachia Preserve has several uniquely different hiking trails open to the public. You can take the whole family too because there is no admission or user fee. Download the Nature Conservancy’s free trail guides and then identify all the things the guides list. It’s easy once you know what to look for and there is more there than casu-
ally meets the eye. If you enjoy your time there, send a small donation to the Museum Center or the Nature Conservancy. They will appreciate your support and it will help them continue their good work. To give you an idea of what to expect, let’s look at three trails, each unique in concept and in view. The Lynx Trail is where the Nature Conservancy got its start in Ohio. Way back in 1959, a group of ecologists got together and purchased this 42-acre parcel for the staggering sum of… $1,000. Wow! That’s just a little over $23 an acre. The Lynx Trail is an easy 1.5 mile loop that intersects three times, thus forming three separate trails taking you through ten unique grasslands. These prairies thrive in breaks or openings in the forest and represent unique ecosystems. As you take your hike through the woods, you will emerge in an opening that features vegetation not unlike what would have been found on our Great Plains when early settlers

loop and ends right where it started, but not before passing through the Shivener Prairie. Formerly a corn field belonging to Floyd Shivener, it is now a perfect example of land returning to its natural state when given the opportunity. This brings us to my personal favorite hike, the Buzzardroost Rock Trail. It is undoubtedly the most popular hike in Adams County and possibly all of southwest Ohio. Some estimates show it as 3-mile round-trip trail while elsewhere it is listed as 4.5 miles. The distance is hard to measure due to several switch backs and a few moderately difficult climbs along the trail. No matter which measurement is correct, the Buzzardroost Rock Trail is extremely cool because of what you will see. 500 feet of ascent from the valley floor to the big rock itself allows you to experience diverse earth history. You start in the geologic “basement.” Brassfield limestone forms the bedrock the mountain is built on and features several erosion-resistant waterfalls. The floor then gently climbs through two different strata of shale and dolomite. You will be amazed when you see the enormous dolomite boulder that broke away from the
overhead cliff several millennia ago. It cascaded a hundred yards before stopping on a small plateau where it remains today as a testament to the fact that in geology, nothing is permanent. As you reach the steeper slopes that lead upward to the peak, you will notice dramatic changes to the vegetation. Lower levels feature grasses and shrub plants, but as you climb higher and higher you will pass through cedar barrens and scruff pine before reaching the old-world forest nearer the top. Oak, hickory, and gum trees abound. Reaching the apex, you will be rewarded with an excellent view of the Ohio Brush Creek Valley. A footbridge over a deep chasm leads you to your ultimate destination—Buzzardroost Rock. The view is spectacular, with a sweeping panorama of the valley below providing one of the most scenic vistas in all of Ohio. The fall change of season and accompanying colors will give you an image that is postcard worthy. You will feel like you are on top of the world but it’s just a special part of southern Ohio. If you are really into hiking, southwestern Ohio has many other options for your consideration. Northern Adams County
is home to world famous Serpent Mound. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the park or get a little more daring and follow the trail that meanders along Ohio Brush Creek. Another option is Fort Hill, just a short drive to the north in Highland County. Fort Hill offers several challenging trails and one in particular, the Deer Trail, is not recommended for amateur hikers. It is extremely strenuous and should not be hiked in periods of extreme weather. Both Serpent Mound and Fort Hill fall under the auspices of The Ohio Connection, formerly The Ohio Historical Society, and are maintained through the Arc of Appalachia, unrelated to the Edge of Appalachia. Do you really, REALLY like to hike? Then you may want to consider the Ohio Buckeye Trail. But give yourself plenty of time. You will need several weeks or months… perhaps even years to travel it in its entirety as it loops throughout the state and covers 1,444 miles. Maybe it would be prudent to do it in sections and there are 26 distinct ones to choose from. Get a good pair of hiking boots, grab you water bottle and your camera, then get out there and commune with nature. It’s good for the body and good for the soul. n

Tailgating In Style! Creativity is the key by Donna Griffin FALL MEANS FOOTBALL AND TOUCHDOWNS! And, fabulous football food! Although your tailgating style might not be as formal as the photo above, creativity is the key to a successful and memorable tailgate party! Just what exactly is tailgating? Wikipedia defines it as follows: To host or attend a social gathering at which an informal meal is served from the back of a parked vehicle, typically in the parking lot of a sports stadium. With that being said… FOOTBALL SEASON IS HERE! It’s time to go tailgating! Can you think of anything better than getting together with
friends, popping open some drinks, and grilling up some great food while the anticipation for the upcoming game continues to build up! Planning is the key to a successful tailgate party. You should plan to arrive four hours before the game starts. Then eat two hours before the game so you have plenty of time to clean up. You can also make the most of your time at the party by planning your menu ahead and preparing as much as possible before you get to the party. Tailgating can get a little chilly if you live in colder climates. Grilling is the most popular

way to prepare some of your menu items and also to use the fire to stay warm! Of course, there are the usual grilled items such as burgers, brats, smoked sausages, hot dogs, chicken wings and kebobs to cook and enjoy. Also, bring with you a variety of hot soups or chili in thermoses and tin mugs. Don’t forget the hot chocolate and hot apple cider too! Maybe some hot coffee with a little shot of Wild Turkey to keep you warm inside! I hope you try some of these new recipes for your next party and have fun, be safe and may your favorite team win!
