FIVE STAR AWARD WINNERS These days, it takes a village to manage your financial world. Whether it is managing your assets with a wealth manager, navigating the ever-changing tax landscape, sorting out your estate and succession planning or picking the right life insurance, finding the right team can be a daunting task. In fact, many consumers have a hard time figuring out where to even begin. Sometimes, a few simple questions can put you off on the right path. Asking a professional what makes working with them a unique experience can help you understand how they work and if their style meshes with your own. This is a great place to start! Five Star Professional uses its own proprietary research methodology to name outstanding professionals, then works with publications such as Cincinnati Magazine to spread the word about award winners. Each award candidate undergoes a thorough research process (detailed here) before being considered for the final list of award winners. For the complete list of winners, go to www.fivestarprofessional.com.

FIVE STAR WEALTH MANAGER

DETERMINATION OF AWARD WINNERS CRITERIA Award candidates who satisfied 10 objective eligibility and evaluation criteria were named 2021 Five Star Wealth Managers. Eligibility Criteria – Required: 1. Credentialed as a registered investment adviser or a registered investment adviser representative. 2. Actively employed as a credentialed professional in the financial services industry for a minimum of five years. 3. Favorable regulatory and complaint history review. 4. Fulfilled their firm review based on internal firm standards. 5. Accepting new clients. Evaluation Criteria – Considered: 6. One-year client retention rate. 7. Five-year client retention rate. 8. Non-institutional discretionary and/or non-discretionary client assets administered. 9. Number of client households served. 10. Education and professional designations. 1,357 Cincinnati-area wealth managers were considered for the award; 221 (16% of candidates) were named 2021 Five Star Wealth Managers.

RESEARCH DISCLOSURES In order to consider a broad population of high-quality wealth managers and investment professionals, award candidates are identified by one of three sources: firm nomination, peer nomination or prequalification based on industry standing. Self-nominations are not accepted. Cincinnati-area award candidates were identified using internal and external research data. Candidates do not pay a fee to be considered or placed on the final lists of Five Star Wealth Managers or Five Star Investment Professionals. • The Five Star award is not indicative of a professional’s future performance. • Wealth managers may or may not use discretion in their practice and therefore may not manage their clients’ assets. • The inclusion of a professional on the Five Star Wealth Manager list or the Five Star Investment Professional list should not be construed as an endorsement of the professional by Five Star Professional or Cincinnati Magazine. • Working with a Five Star Wealth Manager, Five Star Investment Professional or any professional is no guarantee as to future investment success, nor is there any guarantee that the selected professionals will be awarded this accomplishment by Five Star Professional in the future. • Five Star Professional is not an advisory firm and the content of this article should not be considered financial advice. For more information on the Five Star Wealth Manager or Five Star Investment Professional award programs, research and selection criteria, go to fivestarprofessional.com/research.

CHEZ CHESAK

SO FAR THIS YEAR I’ VE FLOWN THREE TIMES AND TAKEN ONE ROAD TRIP, HEADing to Lake Michigan for a week’s vacation. While it’s always a blast to break up the daily routine and travel, flying these days is such a stressful experience. I could tell the TSA agents and airline reps were trying extra hard to be friendly, but everyone at the airports I flew through was on edge—wary of each other, the crowded halls, and the public restrooms, not to mention the usual worries about bad weather and missed connections. You could smell the fear (and the body odor). The road trip, by contrast, was smooth and comfortable. It was just three of us in our own car, and we stopped when/where/how we wanted to. We left when we wanted, got to our beach house when we wanted, and pretty much kept to ourselves the entire journey both ways. Most of us have pulled back from our summertime optimism over things getting back to normal. Even with the pandemic resurgence, though, it still feels like there’s a window of opportunity to travel before winter and a possible new COVID strain arrive. If you agree, check out “Roads More Traveled” (page 34) for inspiration. We’re highlighting a variety of unusual destinations you can reach by car, from new museums and fun food scenes to small-town charm and mountain adventures. They’re the kinds of trips that fit with the times—far enough and different enough from Cincinnati that you feel like you’re “getting away,” yet accessible by car with all of the comfort and control you need right now. And a lot of the outdoor options provide that only-in-October fall vibe. I don’t know how many of you are still working from home, but I’m tired of my house, bored with my neighborhood, and ready to put Cincinnati in my rearview mirror for a little while. There are some family members and good friends I haven’t seen in almost two years, and we haven’t put very many miles on the car lately. It’s raring to go, and so am I. How about you?

By day, contributor Chez Chesak is executive director of the Outdoor Writers Association of America. But by night, you just might catch him staying at the Christmas Story house in Cleveland (page 42). Last Thanksgiving, his family had the run of the place after hours, but the fans kept coming—sometimes very late. “You feel like a rock star,” he says.

JENNY WOHLFARTH To say that Jenny Wohlfarth, contributing editor and University of Cincinnati journalism professor, is madly in love with the Smoky Mountains is no exaggeration: She has been traveling there (page 46) since childhood. She’s returned to the Smokies nearly every year and has visited Shenandoah National Park (page 40) seven times since her ﬁrst trip in 2011.

ANDREW DOENCH For lifelong Cincinnatian and photographer Andrew Doench, shooting for his hometown magazine was a full-circle moment. His father, a journalism teacher, worked in local TV and radio. “It’s cool to see my career have some parallels to his,” he says. This month, Doench honed his craft at Café Mochiko (page 126), wrangling ramen noodles. “Trying to get them to stay on the chopsticks long enough to get a shot is certainly tough,” he says.

HE SHOW’S TITLE IS MISLEADING.

Very little about the Cincinnati Art Museum exhibition Simply Brilliant: Artist-Jewelers of the 1960s and 1970s is simple. But brilliant? Oh, yes. Also thought-provoking, earthy, and exuberant. It isn’t just the sparkle of diamonds and the sheer size of the bling that bewitches; the clever concepts and innovative designs depict hippie-era themes from outer space to Eastern mysticism to signs of the zodiac. It was the preferred adornment of an emerging, exclusive demographic (and those who aspired to it): a youthful jet set, bohemian in its tastes and unapologetic about its wealth. You may not be familiar with the designers (Gilbert Albert, Barbara Anton, Arthur King) but you’ve heard Cartier, Boucheron, and Van Cleef and Arpels name-dropped by celebrities when asked What are you wearing? on the red carpet. The high-end boutiques carried and often commissioned limited-edition and oneof-a-kind creations by artisan jewelers. The pieces are works of art as much as personal adornment. “It was a time of CONTINUED ON P. 16 PHOTOGRAPH BY CHRIS VON HOLLE

SPEAK EASY

THE WEST END’S TRANSFORMATION X Playwright and screenwriter Keith Josef Adkins returns to his Cincinnati roots this month with the world premiere of The West End, which opens Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park’s season October 9. It was scheduled to debut last year until the Playhouse canceled its entire 2020–2021 season. Based in Los Angeles, Adkins grew up primarily in Woodlawn, but the West End was his father’s home neighborhood and a frequent topic of discussion in the family. Why was the West End the inspiration for your new play? I wrote a play called Safe House [that the Playhouse staged in 2014] that’s loosely inspired by my mother’s family history as being free people of color who came to the Cincinnati area in the 1780s. I also wanted to honor my father’s family, who came from Georgia in the 1930s and ’40s to the West End. You call this your Great Migration play. What does that mean in the context of the West End? The early ’40s were a transformative time for many people, but particularly the city’s Black community. I wanted to look at what

that meant for them to be in a new place and having to make Cincinnati home. And it’s not just any old city, but one steeped in German history and culture. What does that mean for these Black people who live there, and how do they commune or not commune with that? It was also important to me that the German aspect was in the play, because I’m from Cincinnati. That’s all I knew [about the white community] growing up. What do you hope the audience takes away from your perspective of the neighborhood? I deﬁnitely want people to walk away with a sense of nostalgia. Even though it’s not an autobiography or a documentary, there are a lot of things in the play that were true to Cincinnati at that time: Hudepohl, Mecklenburg Gardens, the Cotton Club, and Union Baptist are all mentioned. You’ll have a chance to sit with people from that time and understand what they were navigating personally, politically, and socially, and how we’re an extension of them today. —LEYLA SHOKOOHE READ A LONGER INTERVIEW WITH KEITH AT CINCINNATIMAGAZINE.

STYLE STYLE COUNSEL COUNSEL

Niecy Aryetey OCCUPATION: Full-time pharmacy student at University of Cincinnati, intern at Good Samaritan Hospital STYLE: Comfortable, colorful, classy When did you first become interested in fashion? It started with seeing my mom get dressed up for church, for different functions. I grew up in Ghana, and I moved to the United States about 16 years ago. I’d see my aunts in these beautiful African fabrics. If you’re Ghanian, fashion is something you’d automatically get interested in because of our rich culture. [Growing up in Ghana] influenced the colors I put on. I wear color year-round. I don’t go through a season of, OK, this is winter so we have to do cooler tones. What do you love about fashion? Putting on clothes and looking good for myself is therapeutic for me. We need to find different things that bring us joy. We expect to find joy in the craziest places and the most out-of-touch or unrealistic places, but sometimes when we look a little closer, maybe the everyday things we do, that is where our joy actually comes from. And for me, that is fashion and beauty. Do you see your love of fashion and beauty connecting with your career in pharmacy? Wherever I end up working, whether it’s in hospital or retail, even if I am putting on my scrubs, you are gonna see me [in] high-fashion scrubs. First impressions are very important, and how you present yourself tells people a lot. What’s your favorite thing in your closet right now? I have a dress. It’s a high-end brand that makes these clothes— lord knows how much—and I found a boutique that made a dupe of it, and it fits so perfect. The silhouette, the way it cinches my waist, and how full it is, the length, the balloon sleeves. It’s colorful. It’s classy. It’s comfortable. It is my favorite thing, that dress. For now. —JAC LY N YO U H A N A G A R V E R

ART FOR ALL

JOSHUA STOUT USES PLAYFUL ART TO UNITE COMMUNITIES.

ART WITH IMPACT 1: Joshua Stout in front of his Northgate Mall project, “Rumble in the Jungle.” 2: A Stout mural in O’Bryonville. 3: A colorful parrot mural graces a Middletown storefront.

Kroger parking garage— one of the blueberries bears the face of his deceased grandfather, who loved Kroger. “There’s deﬁnitely a place for art with messaging and seriousness, but I think on the ﬂip side we also have to have some fun,” says Stout, whose goal for each mural is to make viewers feel like they’re having “moments of discovery.” He’s also on a mission to make art more accessible. Having worked with ArtWorks and the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber, Stout knows murals aren’t cheap, which is why they’re most commonly seen in Over-the-Rhine and downtown, where large corporations are willing to fund them.

“I want to go into smaller areas where you wouldn’t typically see public art and work with them,” Stout says. “When you put up a mural, especially when you engage the community, it makes them feel pride in their neighborhood and shows them that somebody cares enough to beautify it.” To keep costs down for clients, Stout uses spray paint, which is

faster and more vibrant than regular paint. By drawing a “doodle grid” of numbers and letters in chalk, he’s able to scale his design to the wall. But it’s not just the wall he’s changing. “Public art doesn’t just change a wall, building, or space; it has the power to transform a community,” Stout writes on his website. “We believe [it] has the power to transform and unite.”

JOE GALLO KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR.

The interior designer was still living in South Florida with his partner, architect Tim Hall, when months of fruitless Zillowstalking finally paid off. The design duo had been looking for a very specific project—a Cincinnati Victorian with renovation potential. And they’d struck gold. It would just take a little polishing. “The home was unlivable when we purchased it,” Gallo says. But the bones were good. The couple flew to Cincinnati the very next day to put in an offer. “The restoration process,” Gallo readily admits, “was a bit rough.” Shortly after the couple closed on the home in late 2019, the pandemic hit. But Gallo and Hall are a bona-fide dream team with 20-plus-years of experience and a list of high-profile clients to show for it. Taking all necessary precautions—which included vacating the house for six months—they brought in a team of craftsmen to painstakingly restore the fivebedroom house to its former glory.

“The home has so many amazing details that survived almost 120 years of many owners and terrible renovations,” Gallo says. The house is ﬂoor-to-ceiling drama (seriously, don’t miss the painted ceilings), anchored in rich, moody tones, and full of stained-glass windows and original moldings that have been carefully preserved to showcase centuries of character. “We wanted the home to retain its historical details but have a modern vibe to it,” Gallo says. “We didn’t want to live in our grandmothers’ Victorian.” Blink and you might just miss one of the thoughtfully placed features, from the detailing in the grand staircase banister to the pergola in the garden to the cozy nooks nestled into the turret. Upstairs, the emerald library is a personal museum of sorts—a collection of artifacts from the couple’s global travels. Gallo and Hall will be adding to that collection soon, as this house is on the market and they move on to their next adventure.

Lemasters harbors no resentments over her unique first name, finding it to be “a good ice breaker,” though it occasionally requires corrections for those who call her Reba, Megan, or Webster. While living in Louisville, Webn seriously considered naming her newborn daughter after a radio station there but, upon finding the only pronounceable call letters to be WAKY, decided she “just couldn’t do that to her.” A personal note: The Doctor, having spent many years in the employ of WEBN (see our September 2017 issue), hereby declares that whimsical baby-naming does not qualify for even the Top 20 of loony listener behaviors.

Q+ A

You once wrote about the Chatﬁeld Memorial, a small Walnut Hills park that deteriorated after the expansion of Columbia Parkway. Right at that corner, though, I see a boulder with a plaque on it. There’s no way to stop and read it, but could that be a surviving memorial to the Memorial? —STONED STOP

I know you have a background in radio, so please conﬁrm my friend’s claim that a woman exists whose parents named her Webn, after Cincinnati radio station WEBN. If true, what has this person’s life been like with that burden, and just how stoned were these parents? —HOLLOWED BE THY NAME DEAR HOLLOWED:

Webn Lemasters (call her “Weebin”) was born in 1976 and now lives just a few hours from Cincinnati with her young daughter. She acknowledges that her parents were perhaps not entirely free of influential ingredients while filling out her birth certificate.

DEAR STONED:

Your question recalls numerous past columns by the Doctor. In our August issue he bravely solved The Case of the Hard-toRead Plaque in Kenwood. He also, in June 2018, unearthed the secrets of the Chatfield Memorial in Walnut Hills. Your challenge inspires further fearlessness. To get a good look at that boulder at the foot of Kemper Lane, one must park quite a distance away and walk back to it. Or, we suppose, one might park directly in front of it illegally (just mentioning that possibility). We did not find a remaining memento of the Chatfield Memorial. Instead, this is yet another tribute to yet another “beautiful pleasure ground” that vanished after Columbia Parkway became all Way and no Park. This plaque was dedicated ILLUSTR ATIO N S BY L A R S LEE TA RU

in 1941 to “the mother of all garden clubs,” Mrs. Samuel H. Taft, and is surrounded by a “garden” of grass and generic shrubbery. The memorial does not win the prize for Cincinnati’s Most Inconveniently Placed Plaque. See our January 2017 column about the marker at Lunken Airport commemorating the crest of the 1937 ﬂood—it’s 80 feet up.

Now that the Cleveland Indians are changing their name to the Guardians and the Washington Redskins are changing their name to...something, what is to become of Cincinnati’s famous “Big Indian Sign Where Paddock Meets Vine?” That thing needs a lot more than a name change. —WOKE SIGNALS

OCTOBER 19 - 31

DEAR SIGNALS:

Thank you for still another opportunity to send readers to our archives. The Doctor researched this Carthage mainstay for our May 2017 issue and found two major themes. First, the sign has survived several efforts to have it removed, thanks to residents who see it as a beloved landmark. Second, a virtually identical Big Indian sign stands in Durango, Colorado, built at about the same time (mid 1940s-50s). Like the controversy in Cincinnati, the sign in Durango has stirred conﬂicting passions among the city’s residents. It originally towered above a local diner that welcomed Durango’s sizable Native American citizenry during a decidedly non-welcoming era. Today, it stands at the entrance to a Native American art gallery. In the meantime, let’s remember that the original Cincinnati Red Stockings dissolved in 1870 and were later reborn as the Boston Red Stockings, who then became the Boston Braves. They’ve since moved to Atlanta via Milwaukee, but maybe Cincinnati is historically responsible for the “Braves” mascot name. Does this one belong to the Reds?

LIVING IN CIN BY JAY GILBERT

Freak of Nature

LIFE CAN BLINDSIDE YOU IF YOU’RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION. SO CAN THE WEATHER.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2008, HAPPENED ONLY 13 YEARS AGO, BUT LOOK AT HOW DISTANT WE ARE today from then. The most popular mobile phone in the world was made by Nokia. “Social media” was a term that needed explaining. America was possibly about to elect John McCain and Sarah Palin. Mad Men was the big thing on cable TV, and cable TV itself was a big thing. In Cincinnati, September 14, 2008, seemed to be just an ordinary late-summer Sunday: comfortable temperatures, blue skies, and a sun that never stopped shining. Really, the weather was just beautiful—except for the thousands of downed trees, the tens of thousands of homes losing power for a week or more, and the ﬁve people killed. Other than that, it was perfect. I was at home. Maybe your mind went through the same denial mine did as I saw the afternoon get more aggressive and windy. This can’t last. I mean, the sun’s out!

ute now, this will literally blow over. Instead, what started blowing over were people’s trash cans and backyard furniture. Then branches, big ones. Eventually trees and utility poles. I didn’t hear the crash of a huge tree right around the corner from me, because I had my headphones on. I was in the zone, deep into editing a video project, surrounded by consumer-grade, pre-TikTok technology. My project had to be delivered (uploaded) by evening. I’d left it to the last minute, as usual, so I was concentrating. Puny distractions like gusts of wind weren’t about to get in my way. Besides, the usual threatening signals that tell us to prepare for danger— dark clouds, vomit-colored skies, John Williams music—weren’t there. If you happened to be outdoors that afternoon, maybe at the Bengals–Titans game, you saw stuff blowing around, but you’d seen that plenty of times before—just like you’d seen plenty of Bengals losses (24–7). The danger increased slowly over several hours. Cincinnati became that mythical frog in the pot of boiling water. A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF STRONGERthan-usual wind was expected that day. Hurricane Ike had just clobbered Texas, and its leftovers were on their way north. What happened to Cincinnati, though, was exponentially more than expected. Weather patterns coming from other directions converged with Ike, creating something called an “adjacent frontal boundary.” I have no idea what that means, but the conflicting warm and cold fronts helped produce an “extratropical cyclone.” OK, at least the word cyclone starts to suggest something bad. It wasn’t Judy Garland/Helen Hunt bad, but the day turned out to be pretty gruesome, mostly because it caught us by surprise. As the noise of both wind and flying debris increased outside my window, I did finally realize that a truly scary thing was about to occur: power failure. For some reason my street is always eager to go dark during storms. There was no way I could afford to stop my project or, worse, have my files corrupted and lost. I was already clicking “save” every 30 seconds, but now it was time to implement Plan B: my Cincinnati Reds. No, not those Reds. You’ve probably noticed in places like hospitals, tech firms, ILLUSTR ATIO N BY © B O M B O L A N D, 2 02 1

about was getting to my Cincinnati Reds. The radio station was on the sixth floor of a large office building, and as I turned into the parking garage it occurred to me that the elevators might not work. That would be the end. No way I could schlep all this stuff up six flights. Even if I survived that, I might get to the station’s front door and find the electronic card-entry system not working. How quickly my self-satisfaction turned into conjuring layer upon layer of worst-case scenarios. What’s the hourly rate for analyzing that? The elevator worked. The entry card worked. Being a Sunday, many spaces at the station were unoccupied, so I was able to quickly reassemble my home setup. Plan B had succeeded. I got everything finished and uploaded just ahead of the deadline, leaving no one the wiser about how long I’d put off the project in the first place. I tore down my setup and returned home, this time parking near the fallen tree and walking the rest of the way. I felt less guilty when

I saw even more tire tracks mangling the unfortunate ﬂower bed. Hey, we all gotta do what we gotta do. MAYBE YOU WERE LIKE ME, ENDURING so many days without electricity that you thought about going to Lowe’s just to buy a pitchfork for marching on the Duke Energy building. I don’t normally come to the defense of corporate behemoths, but I will cut the company some slack here. What happened to Cincinnati that day was a true freak of nature. It was clear we were going to get some strong winds, but what we got was—by only one mile per hour—something just shy of a Category 1 hurricane. On top of that, the local Duke Energy crews normally ready for restoring power had just left for Texas to help with Hurricane Ike’s far worse situation. Duke had to quickly summon them back and call for more reinforcements from elsewhere. Maybe they could have done better, but the teams I saw were busting ass.

In the past 18 months of our pandemic, we’ve been hailing as heroes those whom we call the “First Responders of 2020.” Let’s at least label Cincinnati’s Second Responders of 2008 as “human.” Mary and I were among the throngs who endured a week without power, watching all of our food go bad while watching none of our television. Obviously, other Cincinnatians wished such minor inconveniences had been all they’d experienced. People died. Homes and businesses were devastated. Spring Grove Cemetery lost 150 trees that day alone, plus hundreds more that had to come down later. Schools were closed for days, leaving working parents in the lurch. People needing to replace spoiled food found nearby supermarkets closed. But here comes the part about “we’re all in this together.” The part where homes that still had electricity strung extension cords over to those that didn’t. Where neighbors arranged instant block parties for barbecuing and sharing as much perishable meat

as possible. Where they pooled money to rent nearby hotel rooms and take turns in the hot shower (with air conditioning that probably wasn’t bad, either). Where kids off from school banded together to pick up debris. Where everyone got together and found a warm sense of community in their hatred of insurance companies. It was all 13 years ago. That world was so very distant and different from today’s, right? Here’s what else was happening then: The governor of New York resigned over a sex scandal (Eliot Spitzer, in case you forgot). Headlines were tracking the mental state of Britney Spears. The economy was shaky. Harrison Ford was working on another Indiana Jones sequel. The Bengals were struggling for respect. (The Reds were ﬁnishing up one of their worst seasons ever, so I guess not everything was identical.) We never know what will happen in life, and that’s what keeps us going. We have to believe in tomorrow no matter what. See you then. I hear it’ll be a nice day.

PERSON OF INTEREST BY LISA MURTHA

Chicken’s Man

HOW A LOCAL DOCTOR SAVED A ROOSTER— AND BROUGHT HIS NEIGHBORS TOGETHER. IT WAS DUSK ON A FRIDAY IN EARLY MARCH 2020. BRIAN AND JAMIE CUSICK WERE HEADING home to their newly built East End home after a family dinner. As they turned onto Riverside Drive, they saw a group of neighbors across the street on their front porches. Their kids were all outside playing and the two neighborhood roosters—no one’s pets, really, just two stray birds someone had abandoned a couple of years ago—were strutting around, one in the street and the other on the sidewalk. The Cusicks had never met any of these people, the ones who lived in the neighborhood’s original, more modest two-story homes, before. Ever since they’d arrived, in fact, Brian and Jamie had noticed that the people in their new River’s Edge development didn’t mix much with the people across the street. But that all changed in an instant when a pickup truck came barreling down the road between them. 3 0 C I N C I N N AT I M A G A Z I N E . C O M O C T O B E R 2 0 2 1

As soon as he saw it, says Brian, “I thought: Oh, he’s gonna slow down, or He’s gonna veer over into our lane, because we’re turning—there’s no one behind us.” Instead, “The truck just sped up and veered over and hit the rooster—right there in front of us.” And then it sped off. A brutal hit-and-run. Two of the kids, Rebecca and Carly (then both age 10) burst into tears, certain the rooster “was gonna die,” says Carly. And the Cusicks’ 22-year-old daughter, Caroline, who’d been riding in the back seat, was stunned. Meanwhile, “the chicken’s just kinda lying there and the other chicken is going bonkers,” says Brian. Nevermind that pandemic lockdowns were looming and Brian was facing the start of a month-long, part-time furlough from his nearly 40-year career as an ear, nose, and throat doctor. In that moment, the one thing Brian Cusick knew was that he needed to help those kids and that rooster. He got out of his car, picked up the wounded bird—which was still alive— and moved him over to the sidewalk. One side of the animal’s head and one eye were swollen and “his leg was flopping in the wind,” says Brian, but on a Friday night, there wasn’t much he could do. The group placed the rooster in a box on Joan Powers’s back porch. Powers, Carly’s and Rebecca’s grandma, put out some food and water. If he was still alive in the morning, they agreed, they’d figure out a plan. What happened next could be classified by some as a small miracle. It was also an unexpected answer, of sorts, to that age-old question about chickens and roads. NO ONE KNOWS WHO ABANDONED THEM, but the two roosters that lived across from River’s Edge were infamous for prowling the neighborhood, chasing passersby, and eating whatever people happened to throw their way—Goldfish crackers, Cap’n Crunch, Cheez-its. Powers’s back porch had always been their informal home base, but the birds were both very social and, at times, “really, really mean,” says Rebecca— especially the one who ended up getting hurt. “Every time joggers would run past him in the front yard, the rooster would run after them, like real fast,” says Carly, imitating their screams and giggling. Even so, to many who spend time in the area, the roosters were sort of like neighborILLUSTR ATIO N BY KO R E N S H A D M I

PERSON OF INTEREST hood mascots, independent and free range, in the truest sense of the word. In fact, “if you Google ‘St. Rose Church + rooster,’ ” says Jamie, laughing, “you’ll hear about somebody leaving mass one Easter Sunday, saying: ‘I heard the cock crow three times.’ ” So, when they found the injured bird still breathing the day after the accident, under the watchful eye of the unscathed rooster, Brian felt compelled to call a veterinarian. “But not all vets take care of chickens,” he says. “You need an exotic bird specialist, because apparently chickens are exotic birds.” Unfortunately, the vet they found couldn’t see them until the next day. Once again, the two families placed food and water beside the birds and hoped for the best. When they found the animal alive again the following morning, Brian and Caroline drove it out to Batavia. There, the vet said the best course of treatment for the rooster was to stay overnight and receive IV ﬂuids, pain meds, and antibiotics. Half-jokingly, Jamie says they immediately began thinking: “How much is this gonna cost?” But something Powers said had stuck in Brian’s head. “She told me: ‘If the vet wants to put him down, bring him back.’ ” In other words, she wanted the rooster to die in the yard where it had lived. “I couldn’t see bringing this chicken back with this head trauma and broken leg, just to die a slow and painful death,” says Brian, “so I said, ‘OK—let’s admit it.’ ” When the vet said the bird had to have a name, Brian—who, to this day, calls the rooster a chicken more often than not— decided, aptly, to name him Chicken. By then, says Jamie, her husband was “all in, full throttle.” A man on a mission when his life’s work had otherwise been put on an abrupt hold. One overnight in Batavia turned into two, and soon the vet was operating, putting a pin in Chicken’s leg and a cast on after that. When the Cusicks went to pick up the bird, the vet told Brian Chicken needed to live in a pen as he recuperated, largely to “keep him away from the other chicken,” says Brian. “They were afraid the other chicken was going to want him to get up and he wasn’t going to be able to.” When he told Powers about the pen, she built one herself and placed it on the back porch, with a special ladder and deck for

the healthy rooster so “he could walk up and be next to Chicken,” says Brian. Sure enough, “the other chicken was always up there, sleeping next to the caged animal,” he notes. “He was watching out for him.” The following weeks “were like Christmas every day for the chicken,” says the Cusicks’ youngest daughter, Mary Kate, who’s 20, “because he had everyone come visit him.” Carly and Rebecca and the Cusicks also took turns feeding Chicken a healthier diet of chick seed, crickets, and meal worms (“He drove 45 minutes to get this chicken mealworms,” says a shocked Mary Kate of her dad), plus administering antibiotic drops and eventually taking Chicken back in for cast removal. But the project didn’t end there. When the pin in Chicken’s leg started poking through the bird’s skin, Brian took him back to the vet to have it removed, then later removed the surgical staples himself. Even though Chicken’s leg had healed, it was weak and “ﬂoppy,” says Brian, so he devised a way to give it physical therapy. He made a sling by cutting two leg holes into a towel and hanging it like a hammock in the coop so Chicken could stand without putting too much weight on his leg. With the help of his daughters and Carly and Rebecca, Brian—who by May was back to working full-time—put the rooster in the sling twice daily “so he could get used to moving his leg.” “The towel swing was really cool,” says Carly, who takes pride in the fact that she helped Chicken walk. As Carly, Rebecca, and the Cusicks worked together to feed and rehab the chicken, something else happened, too. As pandemic lockdowns faded, the girls from both families got together for impromptu tie-dye parties, went out for ice cream a couple of times, and even had fun making lip synch TikToks together. “I don’t know if we would be such good friends without the chicken,” says Mary Kate today. By July 2020, Chicken was back to normal, roaming the neighborhood by day with his companion rooster, occasionally terrorizing joggers, and roosting at night in the coop on the back porch. Sometimes after mass at St. Rose, Brian and Jamie walked by to check up on him. The girls wrote Brian a thank-you note and gave him a painting of Chicken, which

3 2 C I N C I N N AT I M A G A Z I N E . C O M O C T O B E R 2 0 2 1

he and Jamie hung in their kitchen. All told, Brian estimates Chicken’s rehab project cost roughly $1,000. As soon as he says that, Jamie smiles and says, “He’s lying.” Eventually, Brian admits, “It was a little expensive. Because chickens don’t have health insurance.” WHAT HAPPENED NEXT SEEMS, AT FIRST blush, far from a fairy tale ending. As fall 2020 approached, Brian’s work picked up, the Cusick girls headed back to work and college out of state, Rebecca and Carly each went back to school, and reality set in for the chickens, whose average life span is between five and 10 years. In September, Brian and Jamie found Chicken’s companion lying next to a barn across the street, dead from natural causes. A couple of months later, Chicken himself followed suit, from loneliness or natural causes (or both), says Brian. Carly and Rebecca “were very sweet,” says Brian. “They had a funeral for him, buried him in the side yard by the barn and put flowers on the grave.” For most of the people in the Cusicks’ development, Chicken’s passing was unremarkable. “Not everybody loved him the way we did,” notes Jamie. But when you ask Brian what he would have done without the rooster while he was working part-time and unsure about his future during COVID, he says simply that Chicken was “a good distraction” from everything going on—a feeling so many who endured the pandemic know firsthand. Even so, as Jamie scoops ice cream into bowls for Carly, Rebecca, and their cousin, she says, “I think what happened is we were developing a relationship with the people, not just the rooster. It bonded us.” Some people taught themselves to bake bread during the pandemic. Others grew backyard gardens or binge-watched Netflix. The Cusicks and their neighbors worked together to help Chicken. “It was honestly never really just about the rooster,” as Jamie said by text to her daughters after Chicken’s death. “Dad made everyone feel like they mattered and we all came together to save that rooster and the rooster ended up saving us.” In other words—in this case, anyway—the chicken crossed the road to help everyone else get to the other side.

Motor City Music TUNE IN TO WHAT DETROIT’S MUSICAL HERITAGE HAS TO OFFER. — B R A N D O N W U S K E

THERE AREN’T MANY CITIES THAT HAVE AN ENtire genre of music named after them, but Detroit isn’t your average city. It’s a music lover’s paradise, where the era-defining “Motown sound” is just the tip of the iceberg. Home to Death, Alice Cooper, MC5, and The White Stripes, the Motor City has long been at the forefront of rock and roll. Catch the next wave of Detroit rockers at the Outer Limits Lounge in Hamtramck. Grab a cold beer at the bar and take in its ’70s-style fieldstone exterior, neon sign, wooden walls, and cluttered kitsch decor. It’s easy to imagine a young (and probably shirtless) Iggy Pop strutting through the door and taking the mic. Luckily, that underground, avant-garde spirit lives on. The bar also serves as a recording studio for the Outer Limits label. While a stop at the iconic Motown Museum (a.k.a., Hitsville, U.S.A) is a must on any jaunt through Detroit’s music history, it’s currently undergoing a $50 million expansion, scheduled for completion next summer. When it reopens, the museum will have a performance hall, working recording studio, and interactive exhibits, in addition to the photos, flashy costumes,

memorabilia, and studio tours that have attracted millions of visitors since its inception in 1985. Don’t want to wait that long to explore Detroit’s music scene? There’s still plenty to see (and hear). If you want to check out a more recent Detroit music icon, head to Third Man Records. The store—which sits in an industrial brick building in the trendy Cass Corridor—was founded by local music legend and one-man sound factory, Jack White (there is also a Third Man Records in White’s adopted home of Nashville). The store sells records released on the Third Man label, including reissues of landmark albums from beloved Detroit musicians. Vinyl lovers, and lovers of the label in particular, will want to tour the production facility housed on the premises, where you can see a record pressing in action. No music excursion to “the D” is complete without a trip to Baker’s Keyboard Lounge. This small, intimate jazz club on the northwest side of the city was founded in 1934 and claims to be the world’s oldest continuously operating jazz club.

Whether or not that’s true, you can certainly feel jazz history coursing through the cramped space. Many of the greats have performed here, including Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, and John Coltrane. (A young, unknown lounge singer named Barbra Streisand took the mic at Baker’s in 1961.) Not content to rest on its laurels, Baker’s features nightly performances from some of today’s top names in jazz. In addition to music and drinks, Baker’s also serves up a delicious soul food meal.

venue, head downtown to Saint Andrew’s Hall. Built in 1907, this two-story building originally served as the headquarters of the Saint Andrew’s Scottish Society of Detroit. Now, this historic spot brings in national acts representing nearly every genre of music. Like Baker’s, Saint Andrew’s is no stranger to history-making performances: Eminem famously gave a career-making performance here when he was just starting out in the Detroit hip-hop scene. Pro tip: For a less crowded, VIP experience, purchase seats in the upstairs Society Room. This comfy lounge features 100-year-old-stained glass windows, couches, and upholstered chairs as well as an exclusive bar, good sight lines of the stage, and (perhaps best of all) private restrooms. For a truly off-the-beaten-path exploration of contemporary sound, check out Exhibit 3000, the world’s only techno museum. There’s no sign for the museum, which occupies a nondescript former UAW hall north of Wayne State University. But that sort of in-the-know cool is exactly what you would expect for a museum devoted to underground electronic music. Offering tours by appointment only, Exhibit 3000 features vintage techno equipment, classic techno albums, and a library of publications about the genre. It’s a fun opportunity to expand your musical horizon in an offbeat way.

WHERE TO STAY The refurbished neoclassical Detroit Foundation Hotel (250 W. Larned St., 313-800-5500, detroitfoundationhotel.com) once served as the Detroit Fire Department’s headquarters. Now, it’s a sleek boutique hotel with 100 rooms. If that’s not your speed, try the Atheneum Suite Hotel in Greektown (1000 Brush St., 313-962-2323, atheneumsuites.com). Its marble columns and Grecian decor make it an elegant place to lay your head after ﬁlling it with some amazing tunes.

CELEBRATE BLACK MUSIC IN NASHVILLE Museums have come a long way since annual class trips to gawk at “do not touch” exhibitions hung behind velvet ropes. One such museum is Nashville’s National Museum of African American Music, which opened earlier this year. Dubbed “Music City,” Nashville is

510 Broadway, Nashville, (615) 301-8724, nmaam.org

often branded as the birthplace of American country music. But NMAAM shows the city embracing other musical roots. Located inside the galleria-sized mixed-use Fifth + Broadway development, the 55,000-square-foot

facility has seven galleries of interactive exhibitions, artifacts, and artist memorabilia centered around the connection between African and American music. An immersive ﬁlm experience in the Roots Theater introduces the plight of Africans during and after slavery, and how their inﬂuences transformed into fundamental music genres such as jazz. Interactive panels with timelines allow visitors to experience 400 years of a storied socio-political and musical past, from plantation spirituals to today’s hip hop. In the Love Supreme gallery, guests can “compose” their own jazz song from notes embedded into a console. You can also browse more

than 1,500 artifacts (such as a guitar owned by B.B. King and Ella Fitzgerald’s GRAMMY awards) and watch vintage concert footage of iconic legends like James Brown and Prince. —MILDRED FALLEN

PENNSYLVANIA PLAYGROUND

RELAX AND LISTEN The Peak at Nemacolin (top) offers indoor relaxation and outdoor adventures, while the National Museum of African American Music (bottom) is a music lover’s paradise.

When you think luxury resort, your mind probably doesn’t go straight to Pennsylvania. But before you write the Keystone State off as a totally lackluster vacation spot, think again. 1001 Lafayette Located in Pennsylvania’s Laurel Highlands, Nemacolin is Dr., Farmington, something of a high-end Appalachian Disney World.

This sum(866) 344-6957, mer, the upscale resort opened The Peak, an all-ages playground nemacolin.com that abuts the main resort and offers a smorgasbord of outdoor activities fit for the whole family. Feeling adventurous? Head into the mountains for Jeep offroading, ziplining, or a trip across the three-level ropes course. Try your hand at axe-throwing, scale the 50-foot climbing wall, or take your crew onto the battlefield for a thrilling game of combat paintball in the surrounding hills. If you’re more the type to park it by the pool (can anyone blame you after the year we’ve had?), you can rent out a full-service cabana filled to the brim with luxe furnishings and unparalleled poolside privacy. Send the kids over to the 400-foot summer tubing slide while you take advantage of the swim-up bar and enjoy your cocktails from the comfort of the wet deck’s in-pool loungers. The best part is you don’t even have to wait for warmer weather—heated decks and sidewalks mean the pools at The Peak are open year-round. During the colder months, the resort pulls a 180 with its seasonal activities, opening up the slopes for skiing, tubing, and snowboarding. — L A U R E N F I S H E R

Gratitude for Solitude SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK IS A RUSTIC GETAWAY FOR NATURE LOVERS. — J E N N Y W O H L F A R T H ALTHOUGH IT ATTRACTS MORE THAN A MILLION VISITORS EACH year, Shenandoah National Park’s nearly 200,000-plus acres of wilderness is one of our most underestimated national parks. On a map, it doesn’t look like much—a skinny green squiggle sloped on a tilted north-south axis in northwest Virginia, its north entrance just 70 miles from the nation’s capital—but it has so much to offer. You can cruise along the spectacular 105-mile Skyline Drive, which arches across the humped vertebrae of peaks along a stretch of the Blue Ridge range. Folks arriving from the south end of the park, through the Rockfish Gap entrance near Waynesboro, Virginia, can travel along the 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway that links Shenandoah National Park to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Not surprisingly, folks flock to Shenandoah in fall for the visual smorgasbord of autumn colors, from the dark-purple dogwoods to the fiery-orange sassafras, and an entire color wheel of foliage in between, as the park’s deciduous trees shuck off their summer greens. The best time for leaf-peeping is typically in mid-October, with the peak of colors usually hitting around late October, sometimes earlier at higher elevations. There are 516 miles of trails, nearly all of which, by the way, are dog-friendly, unlike most national parks, which limit dogs to paved roads and campgrounds. For 101 miles, the Appalachian Trail (AT) runs through the park, parallel to Skyline Drive, so at virtually any pull-off along the road, you can hop out of your car, jump on the AT, head north or south for however long you feel like hiking, and then turn around and trek back to your car. (This means you can casually boast to people back home that you hiked the Appalachian Trail. They don’t have to know you only hiked part of it.) Days blur in a blissful mishmash on Shenandoah time. Your daily itinerary will likely be a repeat of what you did the day before: get up with the sun, embark on a cool hike, picnic at a shady or sunny site for lunch, hike down (and back up) a mountainside again in the afternoon or take a short jaunt along the AT, eat dinner at one of the lodges or cook your own supper on the grill outside your cabin or MOUNTAIN LIFE over the fire at your campsite, and (Clockwise from top) Enjoy the digs then head to a perfect perch along at Lewis Mountain Skyline Drive to watch the sun sink Cabins; the Milky behind the blue humps of moun- Way over Big Meadtains.

TRIP NOTES DO WINE Snag a good bottle of Shenandoah Valley wine from one of the nearby wineries on the Shenandoah Wine Trail to enjoy during your stay. shenandoahvalley winetrail.com SNACK ATTACK The area is known for producing juicy blackberries, so don’t forget to grab a blackberry-laden treat from one of the eateries or general stores within the park, such as Big Meadows Wayside (Skyline Dr. Mile 51, Stanley, Virginia, 540-9992211). ONE STOP SHOP Shenandoah has the standard park bookstores in visitor centers and a few shops, like Skyland Gift Shop (Skyline Dr. Miles 41.7 & 42.5, Luray, Virginia, 540-999-2212), where you can ﬁnd park-themed knickknacks.

a steep but doable two-mile hike (cheating a bit by starting from the upper parking lot trailhead; there’s a much longer route up from a lower trailhead if you want a bigger challenge). Sometimes your only company on hikes will be birds chirping along the park’s forested trails or along the out-in-the-open paths through Big Meadows area near the midway point on Skyline Drive. More than 190 bird species have been identified in the park, and in the fall, visitors can often spot birds of prey migrating south for the winter, as Shenandoah is a major migratory corridor for eagles, hawks, and raptors. If birds aren’t exciting enough, you might even get to see some black bears. By fall, the latest crop of cubs will be around eight months old, and you might spot them rambling along at their mothers’ sides, digging up grubs, or darting up trees at the first sign of trouble. But best of all, your nightcap to top off a great day in Shenandoah will be catching a view of the sunset from any vantage point along Skyline Drive or lying on your back in the middle of Big Meadows and gazing up at a zillion stars. You’ll find a favorite spot and you’ll feel that rejuvenating mountain vibe, no doubt. Then you’ll be hooked, too.

WHERE TO STAY After just a few nights of mountain-air-sleep in a comfy bed in the rustic Lewis Mountain Cabins (Skyline Dr. Mile 57.5, Elkton, Virginia, 877-847-1919, goshenandoah.com/lodging/lewismountain-cabins), you’ll feel rejuvenated. If you don’t want to “rough it,” check out the hotel-quality amenities of Big Meadows Lodge (Skyline Dr. Mile 51, Stanley, Virginia, 877-847-1919) or Skyland Resort (Skyland Upper Loop Mile 41, Luray, Virginia, 877-847-1919).

FINDING GOOD FURNITURE IN SHIPSHEWANA After a trip to Shipshewana, a town about 40 miles east of South Bend, Indiana, your car might be loaded with some new heirloom-quality bedroom or living room furniture. LaGrange County has one of the largest Amish communities in the country and partners with neighboring counties to promote the area’s many Amish and English shopping options. In Shipshewana and the nearby cities and towns like Middlebury and Nappanee, you’ll ﬁnd at least a dozen furniture makers and retailers with their own storefronts known for quality and craftsmanship. For instance, Brandenberry Furniture specializes in one-of-a-kind pieces made from sustainably harvested wood. From porch swings to nesting tables, cabinets to writing desks, these pieces are meant to last a lifetime. For a bit of nature indoors, check out Dutchman Log Furniture, which creates rustic, one-of-a-kind pieces from aspen, cedar, and pine logs. If you’re not in the market for furniture, you can always check out the Shipshewana Auction & Flea Market. This seasonal market (open May through September) features more than 700 vendors selling food, crafts, fabric, plants, gardening tools, art, handmade goods, and more. Before you leave town, don’t forget to take a spin on the 100-year-old carousel at Davis Mercantile, which also boasts food, home goods, and visitshipshewanain.com sports memorabilia. — J A C L Y N Y O U H A N A G A R V E R P H OTO G R A P H S BY (C LO C K W I S E ) J E N N Y WO H L FA R T H / C AT H Y S U M M E R S , N I C K , G R E G M E L A N D/ S TO C K .

BOOZY HISTORY IN BARDSTOWN The seat of Kentucky’s Nelson County, Bardstown isn’t exactly urban, but that shouldn’t stop you from exploring its historic looks at the whiskey and bourbon industries. The Oscar Getz Museum of Whiskey History lays out the liquor’s centurylong development into an American powerhouse with rare artifacts and documents from pre-colonial days to the 1960s. The museum’s current featured exhibit on Prohibition, on loan from the Frazier History Museum in Louisville, tells the tale of the

Each tour concludes with complimentary tastings, so don’t go on an empty stomach. For more of the area’s bourbon and whiskey-soaked stories, hit the Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience. Formerly known as the Heaven Hill Bourbon Heritage Center, the attraction underwent a multi-year renovation that expanded its size and its offerings. During the “Whiskey

EMBRACE YOUR INNER RALPHIE IN CLEVELAND While the classic holiday film A Christmas Story takes place in Indiana, the actual house used in the film is just up the road in Cleveland. Purchased sight unseen by dedicated fan Brian Jones in 2004 (off of eBay!), it has been lovingly restored to the 1940s home of the film’s main character who longs for an “official Red Ryder carbine action 200shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time.” No detail from the film is spared. The Little Orphan Annie decoder ring awaits in the upstairs bathroom, as does the Lifebuoy soap. You can hide under the kitchen sink like Ralphie’s brother, Randy. Check out the bowling ball, the leg lamp (complete with packing crate), and, of course, the coveted BB gun itself. Up to six can stay overnight in a loft on the building’s second and third floors and have their run of the house all night long. Book well in

advance though, particularly for November and December. The Bumpus House next door was added in 2018 and offers additional accommodations (hound dogs not included). Across the street, a movie museum features behind-thescenes photos, original props and costumes, and more fun facts than one should write about a Christmas-themed comedy. Complete your stay with a spin through the ample gift shop where you’ll ﬁnd leg lamps in every possible size, Ralphie’s bunny suit, decoder pins, “Oh, Fudge!” fudge, and Red Ryder BB guns. Just don’t shoot yer eye out. — C H E Z C H E S A K

Next Stop: Delicious NEW DEVELOPMENT HAS TURNED A COLUMBUS SUBURB INTO A CULINARY DESTINATION. — C H E Z C H E S A K

DUBLIN, OHIO, IS IN THE MIDST OF A CULINARY boom. The city’s thriving Bridge Park development on the east side of the Scioto River has fueled a rush of restaurants that reﬂect and inspire the already impressive lineup of eateries in on the river’s west bank. “Bridge Park has exploded Dublin’s food scene,” says Bethia Woolf, co-owner of the food-themed tour company Columbus Food Adventures. “It’s a town that has always supported local restaurants, but the development really allowed it to expand. Now you have this fabulous mix of long-established restaurants in the historic downtown and a whole slew of new culinary experiences on the other side of the river.” There are more than a dozen restaurants within the new development alone and more are slated to open soon, including the fourth eatery by well-known Columbus restaurateur Cameron Mitchell (he’s the Mitchell of Mitchell’s Fish Market). Linked together by a striking $23 million pedestrian bridge, the two sides of Dublin offer a new riverside park, an extensive art walk, and plenty of shopping options to explore between meals. Both sides offer Designated Outdoor Refreshment Areas, so feel free to walk around with an alcoholic beverage in hand. Where do you begin to explore this culinary expanse? Here are some suggestions to point you in the right direction. TUCCI’S A staple of the local culinary scene for more than 20 years, Tucci’s features fresh hand-cut steaks and seafood, unique appetizers, and an extensive wine list of more than 300 bottles. The menu of steaks and chops is extensive and ﬂexible, with a host of additional enhancements and sides from which to choose. Pizzas and pastas join entrées like the mango serrano tuna stack, huli huli chicken, and seared jumbo scallops with crispy prosciutto. HEN QUARTER This is where southern comfort nests comfortably within an upscale modern lounge.

eye gravy; fried chicken and waffles with maple gravy and hot honey; and short rib hash with sunny side up eggs, roasted potatoes, sweet potatoes, cremini mushrooms, red peppers, poblano chimichurri, and cilantro. The modern decor creates a great atmosphere for sampling handcrafted Southern cocktails, like an Old Fashioned or a Sazerac, or perhaps a selection from their extensive array of bourbons. COAST WINE HOUSE Inspired by the spirit of coastal California and traditional wine country cafés, this contemporary wine bar and bottle shop/restaurant offers rotating, seasonal blends from Tuscany, Austria, Napa Valley, and more. The interior is certainly chill, somewhere between an airy beach retreat and cozy country inn, while the bottle shop offers wines from the American west C O N T I N U E D O N P A G E 4 4

Paths wind under the trees and new friends find each other around evening bonfires. This isn’t a fairytale. It’s Ravenwood Castle, a bed-and-breakfast that inspires visitors to click their heels three times and whisper, “I’m not in Ohio anymore.” Minutes from Hocking Hills State Park, Ravenwood shares the same wooded foothills as the storied caves and falls.

A Quiet Place IF THE MOUNTAINS ARE CALLING YOU THIS time of year, then you might be feeling the urge to visit Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the 522,427-acre wilderness that straddles the border between Tennessee and North Carolina and is America’s most-visited national park. The Smokies’ namesake hazy mountaintops billow along the southern end of the Blue Ridge range, and more than 12 million visitors venture into those shady mountain hollows each year. With so many folks hiking to the same waterfalls that you want to ogle, you can quickly ﬁnd yourself among too many other people who heard that same call. Despite the inevitable hordes of leaf-peepers tromping around those haze-covered peaks this fall, you can still carve out some solitude in the Smokies,

IT IS POSSIBLE TO FIND A STILLNESS IN THE SMOKIES—IF YOU KNOW WHERE TO LOOK. — J E N N Y W O H L F A R T H

if you’re savvy about it. Many travelers who visit the Smokies predictably anchor their visits in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, the uber-popular tourist mecca jam-packed with family-friendly attractions. But Townsend, Tennessee, on the northwest corner of the national park, is a much quieter and far less shlocky mountain town that has earned the sleepier slogan of being “the peaceful side of the Smokies.” You won’t miss the Gatlinburg hubbub for a minute—and even if you do, it’s only a 50-minute drive away if you simply must squeeze your haunches into a go-kart to feel inner peace—but you’ll have everything you need right in Townsend. Its main road (U.S. 321) has gas stations, a grocery store, post office, hardware store, antique shops, and an assortment of non-chain restaurants and cafés. There are also a few modest, old-timey,

one-off attractions, like the Little River Railroad and Lumber Company Museum and the Wood-N-Strings Dulcimer Shop. (You do plan to bring your mountain dulcimer, right?) The closest thing Townsend has to the commercial ﬂash of Gatlinburg are the competing rivertubing outﬁts that launch blissful vacationers into the winding Little River for leisurely floats through this mountain town all summer long. To beat the autumn crowds as you explore inside the park, avoid the temptation of the most popular hikes—Laurel Falls, Clingmans Dome, Abrams Falls, Alum Cave, etc.—and take advantage of the roads less traveled. The “quiet walkways” are unnamed short hikes with unassuming trailheads dotted along the main park roads (Little Creek Road, Laurel Creek Road, Newfound Gap Road). These lovely jaunts plunge you right into the wilderness with no parking hassles or crowds jostling around you. The ever-popular 11-mile Cades Cove loop is hard to resist. Its open valleys are among the best places in the park to spot black bears, and you can explore old churches and cabins once inhabited by the last mountain folks who homesteaded the area before it became a national park. On Wednesdays, the loop is closed to all auto traffic, so you can explore P H OTO G R A P H S BY J E N N Y WO H L FA R T H

it on foot or via bike. (If you don’t bring your own bike, you can rent one at the Cades Cove bike rental, but be sure to come early because all the bikes are often rented out by mid-morning.) Hiking there on foot mid-day is one way to beat the energetic morning crowds; you might even be lucky enough to find stretches of the loop you can have all to yourself. If you’re hankering for a scenic drive, take Newfound Gap Road over the top of the mountains to the less crowded North Carolina side of the park. Be sure to stop at Newfound Gap to soak in the panoramic views and get the requisite “one foot in Tennessee, one foot in North Carolina” photo that everybody takes. Instead of following minivans and motorcycles plodding along the popular Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail (a 5.5-mile one-way loop near the Gatlinburg entrance to the park), a much better option is to cruise along the Foothills Parkway (outside of the park), which provides soaring views of the mountains and overlooks where you can peer down into the miniaturized Townsend. The most recently finished connector section of this gorgeous parkway links the Townsend-adjacent town of Walland to Wears Valley Road, a key piece in a route to Gatlinburg. Pull-offs along the scenic parkway offer far-reaching views of the Smokies that are very hard to come by on hikes when you’re deep within the forest’s dark hollows and wooded slopes. Perhaps the greatest beauty of the Great Smokies is that you don’t have to wear out your soles—or your actual soul—to find the deep-forest solitude.

FOR THOSE IN CINCINNATI INCLINED TO GAMES OF CHANCE, there are no fewer than four casinos, three racinos, thousands of slot machines, and three horse tracks within an hour’s drive of downtown. If those aren’t enough wagering options, there’s the lure of three statewide lotteries and their assorted scratch-offs, games, and jackpots; Keno drawings nearly around the clock; and innumerable bingo nights. Looming over it all is the newest way to gamble: betting on sports contests, legal in Indiana since 2019 and expected to get the legislative green light soon in Ohio. And those are just the legal opportunities. Americans pour billions of dollars into these entertainments every year. It’s never been easier to part with one’s hard-earned money or—depending on one’s predilection—reap a lucky windfall. And this ultra-competitive, three-state gambling scene is about to get even more cutthroat. Two of the country’s leading purveyors of gaming and its associated entertainments are investing hundreds of millions in new facilities, amenities, restaurants, games, and other diversions across Greater Cincinnati. Internationally known Hard Rock has brought its rock and roll themed vibe to Cincinnati to inject new life and dollars downtown. And Churchill Downs, known for the iconic twin spires of its Louisville racetrack and for the world’s most famous horse race, is overhauling Turfway Park in Northern Kentucky. Choose your betting metaphor, but the emergence of these heavyweights will certainly up the ante and raise the stakes among those vying to capture bigger shares of the gambling jackpot here. The pandemic presented a temporary, even minor, slowdown in the amount of money chanced at these attractions. But wallets and credit cards are opening up again, and the race is on to cash in. “Cincinnati is an extremely competitive market,” says Jay Masurekar, who leads Key Bank’s gaming and travel investment banking practice. “It’s the most competitive market in Ohio, probably in the Midwest.”

4 percent, Masurekar says. But revenue at the Cincinnati casino was down almost 10 percent during that time. Partly slowed by the pandemic, the marketing and promotions that Hard Rock usually brings to the table were delayed for months. “Everything was put on hold,” says Goldhoff, adding that things are about to change. The assets and memorabilia Hard Rock is known for have been added here in the past few months. Hard Rock’s signature 28-foottall, lighted guitar was installed at the front entrance. Rock costumes (including a gown worn by Lady Gaga), a Porsche once owned by Eddie Van Halen, Nikki Sixx’s motorcycle, and signature guitars are displayed throughout. The center bar has been redecorated with outﬁts worn by one of the most famous bands of all time, KISS. Goldhoff ’s résumé includes three years in the 1990s as general manager of the Rainbow Room, the famed private club at New York City’s Rockefeller Center, so he brings expertise in food and entertainment to this venture. A Hard Rock Café, the restaurant that launched the company 50 years ago, is inside. The facility’s steakhouse has been transformed to Hard Rock’s brand, Council Oak Steaks and Seafood. New restaurants include Brick’d, serving Neapolitan pizza, and YOUYU, an Asian noodle bar. The dining scene is Hard Rock’s not-so-secret secret sauce. “Hard Rock is not like a typical gaming company,” Masurekar says. “They like to bring in more non-gaming amenities.” The emotional draw of rock nostalgia from

HARD ROCK INTERNATIONAL HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN RUNNING THE downtown casino for nearly two years, taking over from Jack Entertainment in late 2019. A $745 million deal delivered the Florida-based entertainment giant a casino that, pre-pandemic, accounted for $207 million in annual revenue. “We saw some room to grow,” says George Goldhoff, president of Hard Rock Cincinnati (pictured, right). “We believed there was upside to this casino.” Over the 12 months that ended in April, gaming revenue in Ohio rose nearly

gaming phenomenon to Cincinnati, as the brand is owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, the federally recognized tribe that beat out dozens of other bidders to buy it in 2006. The organization is guarded about its ﬁnancial information, but a 2016 Forbes article put total revenue from the tribe’s restaurants, hotels, and casinos at $5 billion and its net worth, including those tens of thousands of pieces of pop music memorabilia, at $12 billion.

the 1970s, ’80s, and ’90s creates an edge over its competitors. “That’s difficult to replicate,” says Masurekar. Friday through Sunday, Hard Rock Café features live entertainment. The upstairs event space was rebranded as Hard Rock Live, a music venue that can hold about 1,700 people. Its Rock Shop is open, with T-shirts, hats, pins, jewelry, and other merch for sale. A Hard Rock hotel is also under consideration for the site. But there’s no mistaking where the real money is. “The bulk of everything we do comes from gaming,” says Goldhoff. Stop in for the burgers and the rock and roll, stay for the slots. Because it’s a privately held company, Hard Rock International does not break out its revenue sources. But Penn National Gaming, a competitor that owns Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, as well 41 other properties in 20 states, does. More than 80 percent of its $5.3 billion in revenue in pre-pandemic 2019 came from gambling; less than 20 percent came from its customers buying food, drinks, and hotel rooms. For the gamblers, the Hard Rock casino offers 1,650 slot machines, including more than 250 new ones. “They were really needed,” Goldhoff says. “We needed new product. We heard it loud and clear from our guests.” Eighty-four table games are available, including 30 poker tables. Its covered smoking patio has been outﬁtted with slots as well as table games, and Goldhoff says it’s the only casino in Ohio to offer smokers the chance to play while indulging both their habits. “We believe in a year or two they will be the No. 1 property in the [Cincinnati] market,” says Masurekar. “They will dominate, knowing how efficient these guys are.” Hard Rock also brings a bit of the Indian

HARD ROCK’S DESIGNS ON THE CINCINNATI MARKET WERE ORIGInally more ambitious, as the company was also interested in Turfway Park, the 62-year-old horse track in Florence. Turfway was originally part of a larger transaction with Jack Entertainment, which had acquired a 40 percent stake in Turfway in 2012. But Hard Rock ﬂipped the property in October 2019 in a separate $46 million deal. The buyer was a name familiar to anyone with even a cursory notion of horses: Churchill Downs. But the owner of the Kentucky Derby and the legendary track in Louisville has expanded far beyond horse racing to become one of the country’s leading gaming operators. Churchill Downs Incorporated owns 11 casino-style gaming venues in eight states, including Miami Valley Gaming and Racing in Monroe and Northern Kentucky’s Newport Gaming and Racing. It also owns one of the largest online

In corporate style, Hard Rock is KISS, Michael Jackson, and Madonna. Churchill Downs is Miles Davis and Dave Brubeck. Mirror opposites. wagering platforms, TwinSpires, which it launched 25 years ago. “Churchill Downs is a formidable player,” says Masurekar. In corporate style, they’re the mirror opposite of Hard Rock International. Where Hard Rock is loud, Churchill Downs is reserved. Hard Rock is KISS, Michael Jackson, and Madonna. Churchill Downs is Miles Davis and Dave Brubeck. “You have two companies that are the exact opposite of each other,” Masurekar says. “Churchill Downs is extremely quiet and conservative, but very meticulous. And they quietly dominate.” So quiet, in fact, that, despite repeated requests, no executive was made available for an interview for this story. A spokesperson did answer e-mailed questions. “There are a number of racing and gaming offerings in the Greater Cincinnati market that serve a very large audience that is geographically dispersed,” writes Churchill spokesperson Tonya Abeln. “We wanted to bring something to the Northern Kentucky market that eliminated commuting or traffic challenges. When Turfway Park opens mid-year in 2022, Northern Kentucky neighbors will have a world-class racing and gaming facility perfectly situated to conveniently serve them.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 114

ATHLEEN BLACK KNEW EXACTLY HOW TO CELEBRATE HER 61ST BIRTHDAY.

She wanted to be surrounded by family, as most grandmothers would, but not for a fancy brunch or botanical garden stroll. Instead, she wanted to attend a midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Her son Ray and granddaughters Ally and Katie, ages 15 and 14, were as excited as she was. The teens knew all the songs of the 1975 musical by heart, since Grandma had often played them the soundtrack and they’d seen the movie several times with her at home. But it was the ﬁrst time they’d be taking in the cult classic with a live “shadow cast.” It’s a 45-minute drive from their home in Butler, Kentucky (population 612), to the Esquire Theatre in Clifton, and I meet them there. The Black family is among the ﬁrst to arrive on a balmy evening, cicadas and crickets singing together. “I like to get there early to people-watch,” Kathleen says, walking into the lobby with the aid of a cane as a few guests in character costume arrive. “What’s in the bags?” she asks a woman behind a table of small brown sacks for sale. “Props,” the woman replies. “Party hat, toilet paper, newspaper...” Black hands over a credit card and says, “I’ll take two.”

Black discovered Rocky Horror in 1990, when it came out on VHS and her mother suggested they rent it. After seeing the film at home, Black rewound the video, returned it to the store, and bought a copy of her own—and then sought out cinema screenings, where she became a regular. She used to bring her own cache of items to throw in the air during appointed moments in the audience-participation film. Tonight, however, she hasn’t brought the requisite rice, rubber glove, and noisemaker. (Once, en route to a screening in Lexington, she realized she’d forgotten a piece of toast, so she stopped at a Waffle House and bought one.) As her credit card is processed, Black observes her granddaughters. How will Katie and Ally experience this unique phenomenon? Do the kids understand the film’s references to 1930s horror films, glam rock, and punk style? Does the bisexual romping and risqué humor still shock, in a time when drag queens and even gender fluidity are widely understood, if not accepted? Time has caught up to the outlandishness of Rocky Horror, but instead of rendering the movie anachronistic it’s only increased our appreciation. Even if you haven’t seen the biggest cult film of all time, you’ve likely heard of the Time Warp—the movie’s defining dance craze—or seen shows rendering homage, including the 2016 live-action TV special remake starring Laverne Cox; a scene in the original Fame movie; and episodes of Glee, The Simpsons, even The Muppet Show. Tenacious D covered “The Time Warp” just last year; its music video features cameos by Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Sarah Silverman, and Susan Sarandon, who stars in the original film. After 46 years, it’s still thrilling to jump to the left and step to the right.

IN A NUTSHELL, ROCKY HORROR DEPICTS A gender-bending, alien version of Dr. Frankenstein (Frank-N-Furter) who comes to Earth to create a muscle-bound boy-toy (Rocky) for his own pleasure. The unveil-

ing is complicated by the arrival of unexpected earthling visitors (Brad and Janet), and the celebration ends in tragedy at the hands of mutinous servants (Magenta and Riff Raff). And it’s all set to high-camp song and dance. Sarandon (then an ingenue) and Barry Bostwick play the innocent visitors, betrothed virgins whose car gets a ﬂat tire on a back road during a storm. Tim Curry, in his ﬁrst major screen role, is the lusty Frank-N-Furter and baby-faced Meat Loaf is Eddie, a ’50s-style greaser whose brain is partially removed in order to bring Rocky to life. Magenta and Riff Raff have enough of Frank-N-Furter’s she-

germinated. Re-released in 1976, Rocky Horror grew to cult status via midnight screenings in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. The gender-bending attracted a gay demographic, many of whom say it helped them come to terms with their sexuality. Outsiders of all types gravitated to the movie’s embrace of all things bizarre, and cinephiles loved its references to Hollywood’s glorious past. No one had ever seen a femme fatale the likes of protagonist Frank-N-Furter, whose depiction by Curry is unquestionably a genius star turn. “The outsiders who found Rocky Hor-

nanigans and imperious treatment and stage a coup. “Your mission is a failure,” sings Riff Raff, wielding a laser gun. “Your lifestyle’s too extreme.” Brad and Janet barely make it out of the castle by the time the entire building blasts off into space. The earthlings are left crawling in the rubble, searching for each other, shaken but also sexually awakened. The End. A low-budget film version of a hit stage musical from London, The Rocky Horror Picture Show was initially a ﬂop, panned by critics as silly and over the top. The studio, 20th Century Fox, shelved it, but copies trickled out to art-house theaters and college campuses and a fan base

It went past all the different stereotypes. First it was gays, then straights, and then ethnic people started coming.” And coming and coming and coming. And then the call-backs started. Piro and a gaggle of Waverly habitues started making cracks during the show. Louis Farese, a kindergarten teacher, was the ﬁrst person to do a call-back.

one-upped each other’s wisecracks. Props were introduced: Theater-goers put a newspaper over their heads along with Janet, threw rice during a wedding scene, and jettisoned toilet paper when Rocky is unfurled from mummy-like wraps. The subculture, for some a lifestyle if not a raison d’etre, spread quickly via word of mouth and eye-candy reportage. Soon shadow casts formed, with fans acting out and lip-syncing the scenes in real time in front of the screen.

Leaders of Character, recently enhanced and expanded, is embedded throughout the school and focuses on three behaviors that contribute to personal development: Serves God, Builds Community, Grows Self. Students are guided to cultivate 14 attributes that shape well-rounded individuals who are positioned to succeed in a complex world. These attributes impact a student’s overall wellness by addressing their spirituality, their role within a community and their personal growth. In addition to The Schiff Family Science Research Institute, a second Center of Excellence launched this fall is The Homan Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership. The Center will build skills in problem solving, leadership, effective team building, and adapting to changing environments.

BEYOND THE CLASSROOM It’s clearer than ever that extracurricular activities are vital to students and parents. Here’s what the pandemic taught us about how innovation helps and what needs to stay the same. —SARAH M. MULLINS GETTING OUT OF THE HOUSE

Beechwood Independent Schools Superintendent Mike Stacy credits sports and other extracurriculars for laying the groundwork to resume in-person learning. “I absolutely believe that the social-emotional health of the kids who were involved in [extracurricular] activities helped them a lot,” he says. “Kids need movement and need to get out of the house. Extracurriculars became almost a lifeline, and I credit extracurriculars in general, not just sports, with helping our kids get through and manage the last [school year].”

VIRTUAL OPTIONS

“I think there will be opportunities in the future for virtual extracurriculars, since we’ve discovered that some of this works,” says Purcell Marian High School math teacher Kyle Nobbe. “But we’re going to have to make sure that we don’t revert everything to virtual just because it works.” Nobbe’s academic team, for example, competed with other schools virtually, though students told him they prefer in-person for the future. On the other hand, he had a Purcell Marian alum meet with his class via Zoom to discuss his research, which wouldn’t have been possible in prior years.

INCREASED SUMMER ACTIVITIES

Prom, sports, graduation, and other extracurriculars certainly took a hit last year. Even entering summer, questions remained around what was safe to resume. St. Bernard-Elmwood Place City Schools Superintendent Mimi Webb says her district is increasing summer activities this year. “Extracurricular activities are vitally important on multiple levels,” she says. “We recognize the kids need to work together. Zoom is OK, but in my opinion it’s not a great way to do activities.”

THE IMPORTANCE OF ADDRESSING MENTAL HEALTH Shining a spotlight on kids’ social and emotional needs has led to proactive mental health interventions and increased awareness in schools. —S.M.M. EXTENDED LUNCH HOUR

With less in-person interaction, Purcell Marian High School extended its lunch hour by 15 minutes to allow kids to socialize. “I think the biggest loss in the quarantine was not being together and seeing your classmates on a daily basis,” says Purcell Marian math teacher Kyle Nobbe. “And when we started back in fall 2020, those interactions with students were harder to come by just organically. By creating this additional 15 minutes, students could just enjoy being in each other’s presence again. I think that had a lot to do with addressing mental health in a proactive sort of way.”

ADDITIONS TO COUNSELING STAFF

EXTENDING SERVICES THROUGH THE SUMMER

St. Bernard-Elmwood Place City Schools Superintendent Mimi Webb says the district addressed the governor’s recommendation for extended services over the summer. The district established a partnership with Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services pre-pandemic, and that work is expected to continue. Webb says she anticipates an increase in anxiety for some students and staff returning to school and hopes the partnership will help ease everyone back to a normal routine.

Beechwood Independent Schools added to its medical staff nearly overnight to be able to handle COVID testing, with plans to add to the district’s counseling staff this school year. “I

think the social-emotional aspect of COVID will be a much, much bigger issue for kids than the physical issues of COVID,” says Beechwood Independent Schools Superintendent Mike Stacy. “I don’t think that can be overstated.”

HOW TECHNOLOGY SHAPES EDUCATION Virtual learning created obstacles but working through the challenges showed schools what the future might look like. —S.M.M.

INCREASED TEACHER ACCESSIBILITY

“Some students are limited by their morning transportation and can’t get here before school or after school to work with teachers,” says Purcell Marian High School math teacher Kyle Nobbe. “We’ve had many staff members at our school open up in the evening. Virtual study sessions have been accessible for tutoring whenever students need to because we now can use Google or Zoom.” Nobbe recognizes that, in this new world, sustainability can be a concern for teachers who manage large numbers of students, but for Purcell Marian he says it’s doable as a smaller school. “The teachers I spoke with were eager to set up time to meet with students.”

ONLINE CONTENT 24/7

With Zoom and Google Meet becoming the norm for students, parents, and teachers, the future could include more virtual options if a student misses a day or two of school. “We haven’t quite worked out the concept of snow days just yet,” says St. Bernard-Elmwood Place City Schools Superintendent Mimi Webb. “But I do believe in the future we’ll be seeing school activities or school lessons posted on a teacher’s Google classrooms for students to work on if we should have a snow day or weather-related day.”

MORE COMPUTER AND TABLET LEARNING

Both Beechwood Independent Schools and St. Bernard-Elmwood Place City Schools are one-to-one school districts, offering each student Chromebooks. Beechwood Superintendent Mike Stacy says his schools were also able to purchase internet hotspots for children who didn’t have good WiFi. ”Many places I’ve worked in the past would not have been able to make that shift as quickly as we did,” he says. “There is an advantage to being small and having already laid the groundwork as a one-toone system prior to the pandemic.”

Heart to Heart

THREE LOCAL CARDIOVASCULAR SPECIALISTS ON THE BEST EXERCISE, DIETS, AND STRESS RELIEVERS TO KEEP YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES HEART-HEALTHY. For nearly 95 years, heart disease has been the number one cause of death in the U.S. It’s a grim statistic that accounts for nearly one in four deaths. And to make matters worse, it shows few signs of reversing. When it comes to heart-related illness, high blood pressure, cholesterol, and smoking are key risk factors. Genetics can play a role, too. But by and large, your lifestyle choices will determine your likelihood of developing heart disease later in life. Luckily, there are steps you can take today to lessen your risk, strengthen your heart, and improve your overall wellness.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has quite clearly made life very different these days,” says Joe Miles, M.D. “Our daily routines and norms have been transformed. People may now be working remotely from home, often at a desk for many hours of the day.” And with more and more office employees working from home for the long haul, cardiologists like Miles, who practices with Mercy Health, worry that hours of sitting in the home office could spell trouble. Sedentary lifestyles (the so-called “sitting disease”) have been

linked to worse cardiovascular outcomes and increased mortality. “The one thing that I always recommend to all of my patients is trying to really get those 30 minutes of exercise or activity every day, at least ﬁve days a week,” says Odayme Quesada, M.D., medical director for The Christ Hospital Women’s Heart Center. “Even on the weekends, when I’m having a busy week, I try to get that in.” Don’t be afraid to get creative. “If you have stairs in your house, going up and down the stairs—as much as that doesn’t sound like a lot of fun—it gets your heart going,” she says. Set a 30-minute timer, put some music on in the background, and get going. Think of it, Quesada suggests, as your personal StairMaster. While that 30-minute minimum is a good starting place if you’re looking to improve your heart health, it’s also just that—a minimum. In addition to the recommended weekly 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, there are simple steps you can take to raise your heart rate as you go about your day.

8 2 C I N C I N N AT I M A G A Z I N E . C O M O C T O B E R 2 0 2 1

Train yourself to take the stairs rather than the elevator. Next time you’re at the grocery store, try parking just a little bit farther away than you did last time. If you’re spending most of your day sitting at a desk, Miles recommends getting up every half-hour to walk around for a few minutes at a time, which has been shown to improve overall outcomes. Those tiny, everyday interventions that force you to get your steps in can make a measurable difference in your cardiovascular health—and your overall mood, too.

GET HEART-HEALTHY IN THE KITCHEN We’ve all heard the basics: Cut back on your cholesterol. Try to work in the occasional salad. But with so many conﬂicting rules, fad diets, and sources of misinformation out there, it can be tricky to know where to start. When it comes to home cooking, remember: A healthy diet starts at the grocery store. Stock up on fresh and frozen vegetables that can be readily onhand to add to a weeknight dinner. Pass on the processed foods and red meats.

Instead, go for something like salmon, which Quesada likes to marinate and serve with roasted vegetables at the end of a busy day. “Believe it or not,” she says, “this can actually be done in an hour or less.” Limiting your portion sizes and diversifying your plate are two of the most important factors when it comes to creating a heart-healthy diet, says Basil Haija, M.D., a clinical cardiac electrophysiologist with St. Elizabeth Healthcare. A recent study by the University of Minnesota, which examined the diets of 5,000 people over a 30-year period, found that a plant-based diet can cut the risk of heart disease by 52 percent. Miles recommends eating loosely based on the Mediterranean diet, which has shown to lower mortality compared to the typical eating habits. Aim for meals rich in vegetables,

fruits, nuts, whole grains, and proteins from vegetable sources. If you’re going to eat meat, stick to lean protein—like chicken and turkey—or ﬁsh. When it comes to a quick lunch, Haija is partial to a salad with white meat, like chicken, which has much less cholesterol than red meat.

KEEP CLOSE TABS ON YOUR STRESS If there’s one positive to emerge from the pandemic, it might just be an increased appreciation for mental wellness. “With the intrusiveness of social media and constant bombardment from our devices, our days can easily become taxing,” says Miles. “Our days can be isolating. Our days can be stress-ﬁlled. Practicing mindfulness is one way to combat these everyday anxieties.” For Haija, exercise is one of the best ways to let go of the stressors of the

day. But if you can’t ﬁnd the time to hit the gym, take a few moments to practice a few breathing exercises. “Fill your lungs and chest with the fresh air that comes with the morning breeze,” Haija says. “Keep each breath for 10 seconds, then let it out. Oxygen delivery to the brain keeps a healthy heart.” Likewise, Miles suggests setting aside 10 minutes each day to practice mindful meditation in a quiet space. Studies have shown that daily meditation has positive impacts on blood pressure and heart rate variability. “I challenge you to try it,” Miles says. “You—as well as your physician— may just like the outcome.” Ŷ

Easing Into the Unknown MOVING YOUR LOVED ONE INTO A SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY? HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP EASE THE TRANSITION AND MAKE THE MOST OF THE NEW NORMAL.

INVOLVE YOUR LOVED ONE IN PLANNING Some have likened leaving home for a retirement community to mourning a loss. It’s a harsh comparison, but if your family member is headed into independent or assisted living, make sure to keep them involved in the planning

process every step along the way. Bring them along on a tour of the facilities. Make sure you’re listening to their concerns and addressing their questions as they come up. If you’re able, take advantage of opportunities to visit the community before move-in day arrives. At Marjorie P. Lee Retirement Community, for instance, anyone on the waitlist can ease the feeling of the unknown in advance by attending any event on the community’s activity calendar or enjoying a meal in the dining room.

DIVE IN DURING THE FIRST WEEK It might be tempting for your loved one to stay cooped up in the safety of their room or apartment—but encourage them to get outside and get involved, especially during their ﬁrst few weeks. “Go to meals in the dining room,” Immell says. “Go to activities, walk the halls, read the newspaper in a common area.” Perhaps the most important advice of all? Encourage them to ask for help.

“Families can help here as well,” Immell says. “If the new resident is hesitant to do these things, it can be beneﬁcial for family to go with them in the beginning for comfort.”

VISIT OFTEN, BUT GIVE YOUR LOVED ONE SPACE TO ADJUST Regular family visits, Immell says, are entirely appropriate and healthy. But if you can, refrain from visiting during meal times, unless you’re just walking your family member to the dining room. Give them freedom and encourage them to participate in activities—the people they’ll meet along the way know what it’s like to be a new resident and can ease the feeling of being alone in the process. “Reinforce the independence,” Immell says. “It’s a new place to live with safety measures in place. Your independence isn’t limited at all—we’re just here to help when you need it.” Ŷ

Moving a loved one into a retirement community can be an exciting step along the road to aging gracefully—but adjusting to a new lifestyle isn’t going to happen overnight. Leaving home, re-establishing routines, and shifting into the pace of a new lifestyle is a process that can be incredibly personal. “Change is hard, whether it is desired or necessary,” says Karen Immell, Director of Community Relations at Episcopal Retirement Services. And change isn’t always going to be easy— your loved one might grieve a perceived loss of independence. But there are plenty of small actions you can take to help make your family member’s transition a smooth one.

Advance Dentistry “BRING COMFORTABLE DENTISTRY TO EVERYONE.” That’s the mission. Most folks out there just don’t like visiting the dentist. No news there. Actually creating a solution that meets these patients “where they are” (and delivers the experience they didn’t even know they were waiting for)? Now, that’s news. By fully integrating I.V. sedation and anesthesia options into the core of our practice (while also incorporating the latest technologies & techniques), the Advance Dentistry team is able to create new paths to oral health for patients whose fear is an obstacle to treatment. We are committed to delivering a next-level, patient-centered, nofear dental experience and are proud to be unlocking dentistry for folks throughout the Tri-State. FAIRFAX / MARIEMONT OFFICE:

WHERE THE ACTION IS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 51

Although it enjoys a nearly 150-year legacy in horse racing, the Churchill Downs of today makes its money in that most sedentary form of gambling: slots. At Miami Valley Gaming alone, players poured $2 billion worth of cash, vouchers, and promotional credits into its 2,000 or so slot machines in ﬁscal 2019. (They’re technically called “video lottery terminals” at Ohio’s seven racinos, but the concept is the same: Insert cash or credit card, press a button, wait for

which to the casual user are identical to slot machines—and they could well be the future of Churchill Downs. “Historical horse racing in Kentucky means that we can continue to attract the best racing has to offer to the Commonwealth and therefore remain the heart of this industry and the premier destination for the sport,” writes Abeln. “Historical horse racing is a good chunk of their revenue now,” says Thomas Lambert, an economist and assistant professor at University of Louisville’s College of Business. “Only about 25 percent of their revenue comes from Fourth and Central, the main track [in Louisville].” Casinos and slots are not legal in Kentucky, with many people thinking they’d cannibalize the Commonwealth’s signature horse racing and breeding industry. There’s also been a traditionally strong Bible Belt resistance to them in certain

Even in pandemicdisrupted 2020, when the Monroe racino was closed for three months, players managed to wager $1.6 billion on its machines. One reason slots have such an addictive quality to them—besides the colored lights, pop culture themes, and ease of play—is that they pay out often enough to keep players interested and coming back for more. From that $2 billion wagered, Miami Valley’s players won back $1.8 billion. After accounting for promotional credits, that left $171.6 million in revenue from the one facility, state records show. Churchill Downs owns more than 14,000 gaming machines. About 500 of them are at Newport Racing and Gaming, which opened in September 2020 at the Newport Shopping Center in a space formerly occupied by a Chinese restaurant. There’s a small room to watch and bet on simulcast horse racing, but NG&R is all about the machines. It’s packed wall-to-wall with a peculiar variety of gaming machine called “historical horse racing machines,”

corners of the state. But about 10 years ago, the racing industry, led by Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, found a back-door way to introduce slots to Kentucky. They would use machines that, instead of generating random numbers like slots do, used the results of past horse races to generate the winning results. That way, said the racing commission, they could be considered pari-mutuel wagering, which is not only legal but celebrated across the Bluegrass State. It was off to the races. A few miles from the twin spires, Churchill Downs opened a venue called Derby City Gaming in 2018, featuring about 900 of these machines. In southwestern Kentucky, about an hour from Nashville, the company opened Oak Grove, a racing and gaming site with more historical horse racing machines (1,325) than seats in the track’s grandstand (1,200). The Kentucky Family Foundation called the end-around a “smoke screen generated by the tracks and the Kentucky Horse Rac-

ing Commission that for years has masked a form of gambling.” It sued, and when the Kentucky Supreme Court eventually got the case, the justices unanimously agreed. In September 2020, the state’s highest court said the racing commission “has no authority to create from whole cloth” such a dubious form of pari-mutuel wagering. The decision dealt a potentially damaging blow to Churchill Downs’s business plans. A few months later, however, the Kentucky General Assembly engaged in legislative gymnastics to give the state’s racing commission the authority to do just that. A new law legalized what the company had been doing for years, clearing the way for its overhaul of Turfway Park. When the new Turfway opens, it will feature up to 1,500 of the slot-like machines. “Churchill Downs built the whole premise of their business plan and their business model at Turfway Park on having historical horse racing machines,” says Sean Beirne, director of the equine program at the University of Louisville’s College of Business. Churchill Downs says it will spend $145 million on a makeover of the Florence venue and has torn down the old grandstand to make way for a new one. It’s installed a new synthetic track and plans to build a sports bar and a new casino-style space for the racing machines. The name will change to Turfway Park Racing & Gaming to reﬂect the new slot-style games. “We believe very strongly in preserving the strength of year-round racing in Kentucky and felt that restoring Turfway to its former glory, anchored by Northern Kentucky’s ﬁrst historical racing machine facility, was a key piece of that goal,” writes Churchill Downs’s Abeln. The company is targeting a grand opening sometime next summer. When racing begins again, the purses will be fatter, thanks to revenue brought in by the machines. Bigger paydays will encourage owners and jockeys to stay and race in Kentucky, shoring up an industry whose heyday has passed. “For decades, horse racing was the only legitimate form of gambling,” Lambert says. “Historically, horse racing was one of the biggest games in town,” agrees Beirne, who worked for nine years at Belterra Park, back when it was called River Downs. “But

_ ; ƪŕŝ Řřǖ

WHERE THE ACTION IS as TV developed, horse racing didn’t embrace that new opportunity and kind of got left in the dust.” The new slot machine games will not only bolster the horse racing business, they’ll create a greater economic beneﬁt than the racing alone will, Lambert says. “The impact of Turfway will be greater than what it was when it was a racetrack alone,” he wrote in a recent analysis. For every $100 in sales at the track, another $53 in additional spending will be created in the region, Lambert says, while for every $100 spent at the gaming parlor, another $60 in sales will be generated. OUTSIDE OF HORSE RACING, INDULGING in gambling meant traveling to Las Vegas or Atlantic City not all that long ago. Then cash-strapped states began to realize gambling’s potential to bring in tax revenue, and even conservative legislatures overcame opposition and eventually allowed gambling within their borders.

Twenty-five years ago, Argosy Casino opened in Lawrenceburg, the first legal gambling venue in this market. Indiana legislators made gambling palatable by confining it to boats that had to take a cruise to nowhere on the Ohio River or Lake Michigan while the slots and roulette wheels spun and the dice rolled. That era looks quaint now. Argosy evolved into Hollywood Casino, owned by one of the country’s largest gaming operators, Penn National; it’s firmly situated on land now and features a full-service casino as well as several restaurants, a hotel, and an event space. And today’s competitive casino landscape might appear quaint as well in the not too distant future, after the next era in gambling takes over: sports wagering. Indiana casinos immediately capitalized on sports betting, offering the option on the first day it was legal, September 1, 2019. Ohio lawmakers are in the sausage-making phase of creating legislation to permit it

and are expected to pass something later this year, joining 29 other states that allow it. The state House and Senate have passed their own versions of sports gambling bills, with differences—mainly over how many licenses will be granted and who gets them—still to be hashed out. “Sports betting adds about 25 percent more traffic and revenue to casinos and racinos that have it,” says Masurekar. Betting on the NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball, and college sports has brought new, younger customers to the casinos that operate sportsbooks. That’s become a moneymaking opportunity in an industry eager to stay relevant to new generations. “Sports betting brings a totally different demographic to gaming,” Masurekar says. “The typical gaming demographic is a 55-year-old woman who goes to a casino. But with sports betting, it’s typically a well-educated male who’s a high earner.” Members of the millennial generation don’t want to simply go to a casino and press

a button on a slot machine. They want experiences they can take photos of and post on social media. You can’t do that at the poker table without being asked to leave. That’s why the major gaming companies in this region and beyond have hooked up with online sports betting companies or created their own. Hard Rock in December announced the launch of Hard Rock Digital, its bid to get a piece of the estimated $7 billion U.S. market for sports betting. Its Cincinnati casino already has an area earmarked for sports betting with seven windows and electronic kiosks, all of which will be ready when Ohio passes its bill. Although sports betting isn’t legal in Kentucky yet, Churchill Downs has launched it at its properties in Indiana and other states. Hollywood Casino’s parent company, Penn National, has invested in Barstool Sports, the online betting, gaming, and media company, and the Lawrenceburg casino operates a sportsbook complete

with a bar and multiple TV screens. “It’s helped us attract a younger demographic,” says General Manager Mike Galle. It’s also resulted in more traffic and players who come for the sports bets trying their luck at the slots or blackjack. “It has become a very effective customer acquisition tool,” Jeff Morris, a vice president with Hollywood’s parent company, told a legislative committee in Connecticut earlier this year. At another of its Indiana properties, in East Chicago, sports betting resulted in a 27 percent increase in money wagered at its table games and slots, he said. The Cincinnati Reds are in on the action, agreeing to a corporate partnership with the sportsbook of Vegas-based Wynn Resorts. Reds games are now broadcast on Bally Sports Ohio, after the casino company Bally bought the naming rights to Fox Sports Ohio. With the sports betting revenue pie expected to be divvied up by the Ohio

legislature, casinos aren’t the only ones seeking a piece. Grocery stores and even bowling alleys have put in their dibs. The Reds, too, have lobbied for a share of the money that will come from a limited number of licenses, raising the prospect of a sportsbook inside Great American Ball Park. “We are primary economic engines in our communities and should beneﬁt from this new revenue stream,” Reds Chief Financial Officer Doug Healy told legislators, referring to the Reds and the state’s other pro sports teams. It’s enough to make the Pete Rose gambling scandal look old-fashioned. Because, well, it is. In this almost-anything-goes era of gambling, he could have legally bet on games from the dugout with a smartphone. It’s never been easier to wager in the U.S., or more proﬁtable. With the betting market growing by billions of dollars every year, casinos won’t be the only businesses heeding the tried-and-true advice of lottery ads: You can’t win if you don’t play.

the 100th time, or the 1,000th time. (One fan has supposedly clocked 5,000-plus screenings.) By 1978, the subculture had spread to dozens of big cities and college towns, even reaching small hamlets such as Camden, Maine (population 3,000 at the time), where I lived. Attending Rocky Horror and acting like the naughty kid I would never be in real life was an emotional lifeline for me, a city-bred teenager relocated to

the longest continuous theatrical release in history, earning $170 million on its original outlay of $1.4 million. Academics have likened the call-andresponse screening sessions to religious ceremonies. Shadow casts have grown, too, in hundreds of cities. Cincinnati’s own, The Denton Affair, born in 1979, is one of the oldest and most active. “The casts are the heart and soul of everything,” says Piro, who has visited Cincinnati to witness the local group. THE DENTON AFFAIR IS 30 MEMBERS strong these days, and in addition to engagements every other weekend at the Esquire it performs at bars, festivals, and fund-raising events. The group is so well established that even its pre-show announcements and hijinks have their own

PARTICIPATION IN THE MOVIE’S CINCINNATI SHADOW CAST HAS BEEN A WAY TO EXPLORE PERSONAL IDENTITY, SAY DENTON AFFAIR MEMBERS, WHO FIND THE GROUP A NONJUDGMENTAL PLACE TO BE THEMSELVES. a provincial village. Camden society revolved around skiing, boating, and L.L. Bean, all things out of my monetary reach. Bored out of my skull and majoring in unpopularity, I yearned for something I could not name and a community that “got” me. Rocky Horror was just that—a moonlight netherworld where freaks were the stars, preppy clothing was uncool, and boundaries existed only to be crossed. Rocky Horror is rated R, but it isn’t “soft-core porn,” as a friend of my mother’s warned, scandalized that Mom allowed me to attend it alone. The sex is suggested rather than graphic, a couple of brief nip slips are all the nudity on view, and a single F-bomb is uttered. The call-backs, however, made the ﬁlm naughtier. While other 1970s trends waned— streaking, roller disco, CB radio—the Rocky Horror experience spread internationally. Its costumes and makeup inspired the nascent punk scene. The ﬁlm is now

set of rituals and call-backs. As Kathleen Black and her brood wait excitedly in the Esquire lobby, about two dozen people in their 20s and 30s ferry props from a storage space in the building to stage left and stage right of the venue’s largest screening room (with 221 seats), including a shower curtain hanging from PVC piping, a steering wheel, and a casket. The stroke of midnight approaches, and the cast assembles in front of the seats. Shadow Woolf, a 36-year-old Cliftonite dressed as Eddie, practices a dance scene with 22-year-old Jordan Curtis, a UC student decked out as Columbia, Eddie’s girlfriend, in a gold sequin swallowtail jacket and shorts. “You’re strong,” he says, beckoning her. She jumps into the air and straddles him. He thrusts his pelvis, swinging her on a count of 1-2-3, and then lifts her up and sets her back down. “It’s going to be messy,” he says, “and that’s OK.”

1 1 8 C I N C I N N AT I M A G A Z I N E . C O M O C T O B E R 2 0 2 1

The audience files in—college students, fishnets, giggles—and fills the majority of seats. The Black family occupies the middle of a row about one third of the way back. The show begins. But not the movie; that’s still a half-hour away. The Denton Affair has business to attend to first. Anjali Alm-Basu, a cast member for 11 years, takes a mic. (Alm-Basu uses they/ them pronouns.) They’re in in a black T-shirt, black cut-off jean shorts, and a necklace and earrings dripping gold. They ask if there are any virgins in the audience—virgins to the show, that is. Another cast member weaves through the theater rows applying a lipstick V to the newbies’ cheeks, foreheads, or arms. One young man drops his trousers to receive his just below the hem of his plaid boxer shorts. And we’re off. Ally and Katie Black, skinny girls with long straight hair, are among the uninitiated to be brought up front and quizzed about birth control and sex toys, among other lightly lascivious subjects, as part of their “devirginization.” They’re slapped on the butt with a rubber chicken. Alm-Basu primes the already rowdy crowd on rules and traditions. “Rocky Horror is an audience participation movie,” they say. A roar from the audience, in unison: “What the f--- does that mean?” Alm-Basu explains: “When someone says ‘Brad,’ you say ‘Asshole!’ For Janet, ‘Slut!’ For Dr. Scott [who uses a wheelchair], ‘A f---ing Nazi!’ and ‘Jerry Lewis loves you!’” Alm-Basu, slightly embarrassed, says, “We probably shouldn’t do that one anymore.” Call-back and prop-throwing norms differ from theater to theater and group to group. Few props are thrown at the Esquire this particular evening, a blessing to Denton Affair members; even though they sell prop bags, they must also clean up everything after each show. In other theaters, the shadow cast will remain silent on call-backs. Here, cast members seem to be the most frequently and loudly vocal among those calling back. Most attendees are au courant with all of these traditions, but every now and then an unsuspecting theatergoer will walk out of a screening.

THRILLS AND CHILLS A handful of call-backs (and call-befores) remain from the old days, but funniest are the modern and localized ones. Frank-N-Furter: You see... Audience: Xavier! Frank-N-Furter: It’s no crime to give yourself over to pleasure. Audience: It is in Cincinnati! Audience: How did Jeffrey Epstein die? Frank-N-Furter: It was a mercy killing. To the repeated claps and chant of “Start the f---ing movie!” the ﬁlm begins, and The Denton Affair acts, dances, and lip-syncs in meticulously handmade costumes. Women play men, men play women, short people play tall people. Body positivity is often mentioned by cast members as part of the group’s appeal. The troupe is amateur, but their tight bond and obvious joy radiate charm. You can picture yourself up there, and that’s the point. There are no auditions to join The Denton Affair. You just show up, go through some training, and get comfortable with being half naked in front of strangers. “ ROCKY HORROR IS FOR EVERYONE,” says Emily Lloyd, a Denton Affair cast member since 2015 who works for the Butler County Visitors Bureau. “This is a party, and everybody is there to have a good time.” Longest to The Denton Affair party is Missy Stricklett. A banking professional by day, she was the youngest cast member when she joined in 2000 at age 15; now, at 36, she is the oldest. She wears her graying hair in a Bettie Page style with short bangs. “I had never laughed so hard in my life, and it felt like something I wanted to be a part of,” she says of her attraction to The Denton Affair. “Rocky Horror is where the outcasts ﬁt in.” Stricklett met her boyfriend in the group, as did Zoë Peterson, who is 20 years old and sports a white streak in her shoulder-length black hair. “The Denton Affair was doing a show at Video Archive [bar] in Over-the-Rhine two years ago,” Peterson recalls. “I met Jack

[Alexander] there. I found out we are both UC students and both love Rocky Horror. That’s enough to have in common with a person.” Alexander, whose floppy brown hair makes him a natural for the part of the straight-laced Brad, says The Denton Affair is “my only creative outlet.” He’s a pre-med major, not the theater-geek type Peterson thought she would encounter in the cast. For Anjali Alm-Basu, the movie and participation in the shadow cast has been a way to explore personal identity. “Rocky Horror was a good testing ground for different ways of gender presentation,” they say, “and an important part of queer history.” All cast members speak of feeling like outsiders and finding this group a nonjudgmental place to be themselves. The rebellious coming-of-age ritual is not for everyone, of course. Though the movie has just one curse word in it, the call-backs are relentless, vulgar, and laden with F-bombs. There was cursing from the very first call-back in the ’70s, but Kathleen Black remembers that in her past, and at other cinemas, the audience was not quite so potty-mouthed. Because of it, she says, she won’t bring her grandkids back to this particular venue. “I just found the level of profanity there a bit excessive,” she says. “The question of whether we should be more restrained or not allow certain callbacks comes up every few years in casts all over the country,” says Hannah Davis, a Denton Affair cast member who’s attended RockyCon conventions as well as shadow casts in other cities. “Not everyone agrees where the line should be drawn.” Adds Lloyd, “The movie is obviously rated R, so we encourage cursing. One thing we’re trying to phase out are some of the older call-backs that may be offensive to some people.” The Denton Affair can’t control what guests say and do, but members set the tone. Stricklett remembers the group being more clever and less off-color in the past, “aimed at being more funny than shocking. But the experience is still the same.” For older folks like Black and myself, the language can be tedious, but we understand that Rocky Horror is not about restraint. If

cursing up a bawdy storm is the worst thing the kids are up to on a Saturday night, well, things could be worse. The Denton Affair was started by Tony Wright, an elusive fellow who mustered the courage to stand in front of a screening and mouth the opening song—likely at a now-defunct downtown cinema or the 20th Century in Oakley, where the movie unspooled before coming to roost at the Esquire in 1998. “People were bringing props and costumes to me and I would do the show,” Wright says in The Denton Affair Celebrates 40 Years, a short documentary by Alm-Basu. “And it’s like, ‘If you can bring props, you can do the show, too.’” A volunteer joined Wright, playing the female roles to his male roles, and the act grew from there. The Denton Affair took its name from a dossier that a criminologist character reads from in the movie. The Esquire maintains a laissez-faire relationship with The Denton Affair, neither paying the group nor charging them for admission. “It’s a good community,” says Julianne Reisenfeld, vice president of operations for Theatre Management Corporation, which manages the Esquire. “They bring the fun.” The shadow cast has helped keep turnout high for close to 600 total shows so far, with ticket sales at a level the cinema typically sees for mainstream ﬁlms rather than the spottier attendance for independent/art-house movies. It’s past 2 a.m. when the credits roll. Shadow cast members take their bows as their counterparts’ names appear onscreen. Alm-Basu announces that interested parties can learn more about The Denton Affair online or by speaking to a cast member. But for now, the cast is sweaty and exhausted. “Get the f--- out!” they shout to us. Kathleen Black and crew make their way back out into the still-warm evening. “Loved it!” Katie and Ally say together. Kathleen beams. Her birthday was a complete blast. “I will take them again,” she vows. Before the family boards its minivan to make the journey back to Butler, singing along to the soundtrack on the way, the sexagenarian adds, “We hope we get a chance to see it with my mom.”
