    Cincinnati, Ohio – FC Cincinnati drew with Orlando City SC, 1-1, Saturday night in front of 24,113 fans at TQL Stadium.

    The Orange and Blue (3-7-7) increase their point total to 16 points. Orlando City (8-4-6) has 30 points in second place in the Eastern Conference.

    FC Cincinnati struck first in the 42nd minute with Brenner’s fourth goal of the season. Luciano Acosta found Álvaro Barreal on an overlapping run who centered a pass to the Brazilian forward who buried a right-footed shot into the back of the net. 

    The goal ended a three-match scoring drought for FCC.

    Orlando City SC equalized in the 56th minute with a goal from Nani, who entered as a substitute one minute prior.

    Kenneth Vermeer’s scoreless streak of 269 minutes ended with the goal. He has the third-longest scoreless streak in club history. Ten minutes later, an injury forced Vermeer out of the match, which led Przemysław Tytoń to enter the contest as a substitute for the first time in his MLS career. 

    FC Cincinnati has a weekend off and returns to action, at home, Wednesday, August 18 at TQL Stadium against CF Montréal. The kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.

    POSTGAME QUOTES

    FC Cincinnati Head Coach Jaap Stam

    On the team’s game management in the heat

    “I think I managed it very well. You don’t have subs to make subs, just to look like okay, you sub players. After this game, we have 10 days there’s no game for us. Players need to be able to play three games in a week. If there was a game on Wednesday, then maybe it would’ve been different. But if players still look fit and they can still bring what you’re asking from them, you don’t need to make subs.”

    “It’s not all about you have five subs, so you also need to take that, it’s depending on how the game goes and depending on how players are feeling themselves. It depends on how the schedule after this particular game is. So I think we managed it very well, we are very happy with it. At the end of the day, we made five subs, yeah you know, you can see that they are making subs because their coach was not happy in how their players were performing, not because of giving the players he took off in the game a rest because he wasn’t happy in how they were performing because we were doing it well.”

    On Vermeer’s injury and Tytoń’s play

    “Yeah, you know [Tyton] did well when he came in, you know he needed to do what we were asking from him when Kenneth is not playing, so we are very happy with him, but I’ve told that before as well. Tyty is a real contender for Kenneth, he keeps Kenneth on his toes as well and if Kenneth cannot play and we need to make a different decision then we know that [Tytoń] can deliver the ability that we need so we were very happy with him you know taking over.”

    “Kenneth felt his quad. He didn’t risk it for the team to stay on because you never know what happens if he needs to kick a ball again or whatever, so that’s why we made the decision to take him off. So if Kenneth is not fit enough for next week or after ten days, then yeah, then Tyty needs to step in. That’s how it works, but we are happy with Tyty and what he’s bringing.”

    FC Cincinnati Midfielder Florian Valot

    Thoughts on his debut with FC Cincinnati

    “It felt great to be finally out there in this stadium. I’ve been waiting for this the last two or three days, so I’m really happy to be coming in and helping the team secure a point. It was a good game against a really good team. We did our best to get three points. Coming out of this game with one point is good but we could have done a bit better.”

    On his first impressions with the team
    “We have really good quality players on the ball. I think we need to be a little bit better in the last third. We scored a beautiful goal with [Luciano], Barreal, and Brenner. Really good things tonight. As I said earlier, I need to learn a little bit more, the system and the players, and see if I can add a little bit to this team.”

    FC Cincinnati Defender Gustavo Vallecilla 

    (Translated from Spanish to English)

    On his thoughts on the match

    “It was a up and down match I think we fought hard for it today and found something in ourselves today. I feel like we have been defending well as of recently with the back line, but errors like this happen in matches so you just and to keep focus and keep defending the next play.”Match Recap

  • “Ms. Civil Rights” Cincinnati activist Marian Spencer honored with statue at Smale Riverfront Park

    “Ms. Civil Rights” Cincinnati activist Marian Spencer honored with statue at Smale Riverfront Park

    “The case started when Spencer’s sons heard a radio ad inviting children to Coney Island to meet a local TV personality. She telephoned to ask if the invitation applied to all children and was assured that it did; however, when Spencer added, “We are Negroes,” the Coney Island representative admitted the invitation did not extend to Negro children. Spencer was banished from the front gate by a guard brandishing a gun on the Fourth of July 1952. Spencer filed suit and subsequently won the case, which desegregated Coney Island.” – Wikipedia

    Cincinnati, Ohio – The life of Civil rights activist Marian Regelia Alexander Spencer was honored with a statue at Smale Riverfront Park on Sunday June 26 – the eve of her birth date. It is Cincinnati’s first statue of a named woman. It depicts Spencer holding the hand of a young girl and the girl holding hands with a young boy. The three are in a not-closed circle that leaves space for another child to grab Spencer’s left hand and the boy’s right hand to close the tight circle.

    Spencer was the first Black president of the Woman’s City Club of Greater Cincinnati in 1970. The organization spearheaded the private fundraising for the statue. It is located at the John G. & Phyllis W. Smale Riverfront Park in the Cincinnati Parks Foundation Women’s Committee Garden.

    The sculpture was designed by Cincinnati Natives, Tom Tsuchiya, and Gina Erardi.

    Spencer was the first Black woman to be elected to the Cincinnati City Council and once served as vice-mayor.

    She fought for the desegregation of Coney Island and YWCA summer camps and pools nationwide She was the first African American woman to be elected president of the Cincinnati chapter NAACP.

    Spencer died at the age of 99, on July 9, 2019, and was the granddaughter of a former slave. She was active in the civil rights movement to desegregate schools and end discrimination and became the first female president of the Cincinnati NAACP chapter. She also served on the University of Cincinnati board of trustees.

    Spencer was born in the town of Gallipolis, Ohio in 1920. She lived in the home of her grandfather, a freed slave from West Virginia, with her twin sister, Mildred, two brothers, Harry and Vernon, and her parents. The home was built after her grandfather moved to Gallipolis. She became a member of the NAACP at age 13. In 1938 Spencer graduated from Gallia Academy High School. She was co-valedictorian with her sister and a member of the National Honor Society.

    After graduation, she moved to Cincinnati to attend the University of Cincinnati as a scholarship student with her sister and fellow scholarship student, Mildred Malcolm. While at the University of Cincinnati, Spencer campaigned for the college prom to be open to all students. That was the start of her struggle for equality for all Greater Cincinnatians.

    Spencer earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Cincinnati in 1942. In 1940, she married Donald Andrew Spencer, Sr., a Cincinnati teacher and real estate broker. They raised two sons, Donald Jr. and Edward Alexander.

    Tom Tsuchiya, who created the piece with Gina Erardi a Woman’s City Club member, and the Marian Spencer Statue Committee Chair Alice Schneider proposed the statue in 2019. Spencer died later that year at age 99.

    Spencer’s career included numerous achievements as well as many awards and honors for her contributions to human service organizations and civic volunteer work. Among them are Cincinnati Enquirer Woman of the Year Award; Brotherhood Award, National Conference of Christians and Jews; YWCA Career Woman of Achievement Award; and Humanitarian Award, Freedom Heritage Foundation of Columbus, Ohio.

    She was an active member of the Board of Trustees of Planned Parenthood of Cincinnati in the 1990s and subsequently served on the Planned Parenthood Foundation Board. In 1998 Spencer was named a “Great Living Cincinnatian” by the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber.

    In 2010 the Cincinnati Public Schools renamed an elementary school in Walnut Hills, Cincinnati the Donald A. and Marian Spencer Education Center. In 2016 the Cincinnati City Council voted to rename the 100 block of Walnut Street between Theodore Berry Way and Second Street at The Banks “Marian Spencer Way.” In 2018 the University of Cincinnati named a new residence hall on its main campus “Marian Spencer Hall.”

    Marian Spencer described herself as a fighter. “All people should be equal,” she said. “There should be equality, above everything. Given equal opportunity, we all arrive at the same place.” She was named a Lifetime Achiever by Applause! magazine and co-chaired a YWCA $3.8-million fund-raising campaign in Cincinnati. “Without difficulties that people met and overcome, we are less strong,” Spencer said. “We’ve had our share.”

  • 4-years-ago today fire did extensive damage in Historic Downtown Loveland

    4-years-ago today fire did extensive damage in Historic Downtown Loveland

    Slide right or left to see THEN and NOW

    Loveland, Ohio – It was 4-years-ago today that a fire did extensive damage In Historic Downtown Loveland. Below is the story and photos of the fire that were published by Loveland Magazine.

    May 28, 2017

    Loveland, Ohio – Loveland/Symmes Fire Chief Otto Huber told Loveland Magazine Sunday evening that the structural engineer the City brought in to inspect the buildings damaged by an overnight fire in Loveland’s Historic District said that after a preliminary look, the buildings could be restored. He also told Huber that he had seen building with more damage, brought back to life.

    Huber also said that they suspect the fire began because of an electrical problem, and there is one spot that will receive more attention in the coming days as they try to determine how the fire started.

    An 11-alarm fire in Downtown Loveland early Sunday morning did extensive damage to two historic buildings, and minor damage to three others. There were no injuries to residential occupants, and only one firefighter suffered a minor injury. One firefighter was treated for exhaustion.

    Residents of five apartments on the upper floors have lost everything, including damage to automobiles

    The building that housed Tano’s Bistro and the Bishop Building sustained substantial fire damage. Three businesses had extensive damage: Tano’s Bistro, Cincy Fashion Wheels, and Gina Dubell-Smith, a Comey & Shepherd Realtor.

    The former Julian’s Deli, now owned by Paxton’s Grill only suffered minor fire damage. The fire sprinklers in the building did not activate. Huber said the heat inside the building wasn’t great enough to activate the sprinklers, but the interior of the building has damage from the water used to keep the fire from spreading. Cleanup was already underway on what will be called, Bike Trail Junction. Co-owner, Kevin Egan said their opening was scheduled in the coming weeks, but the opening will have to be rescheduled. 

    Narrow Path Brewing Company on Karl Brown Way had roof damage that was being repaired Sunday evening. The business remained closed throughout the day. Another building, further north on Karl Brown Way had newly installed plastic siding, buckle from the heat.

    Huber also said that if possible, scaffolding will be erected on the west side of the Bishop Building on Monday. He said it will depend on whether they can get someone to do the work on the Memorial Day Holiday. The scaffolding will be erected to shore up the brick exterior, making it safe to be inside the building where crews could better assess the structural damage, and make it possible for rebuilding to begin.

    At 8:30 PM Sunday, a fire crew was still at the scene.

    In a press release issued this afternoon by Loveland City Manager, Dave Kennedy, he said, “It is the City’s desire to save these historic structures and will work with the building owners to make this happen. This is a tragic event but the City of Loveland is a very strong community and will work together to repair this part of our downtown. The City of Loveland is thankful that the fire caused no injuries or loss of life and salute the efforts of the City’s first responders.”

    David Miller

    Loveland, Magazine– It didn’t last very long, but about 1-1/2 inches of snow, topped off the pretty deep, recent snowfall yesterday afternoon.

    These photos were taken deep into the Simpson Farm Conservation District during the brief storm. The Simpson Farm is a 40-acre Conservation District in the heart of the West Loveland Historic District. Loveland Magazine’s office is in the old farmhouse.

    The protective Conservation District covenant, recorded on the deed of the Simpson Farm, is unique to the State of Ohio and perhaps the nation in that it permanently protects publicly owned land and vests the future of the parkland only at the ballot box, by future voters.

    [Photo Gallery] A look back at the Loveland flood of 1913

    Loveland, Ohio – Given the recent heavy rains and high water, the Loveland Museum Center thinks you will enjoy this “look back” at the Loveland flood of 1913. “It seems appropriate,” says the Museum Center.

    Loveland Museum Center added 18 new photos to the album: FLOOD OF 1913.

    In the early morning of March 25, 1913, the Little Miami River and Obannon Creek over-ran their banks and wreaked havoc in downtown Loveland.

    The flood broke all prior high water marks by 7 feet!

    The wagon bridge crossing the Little Miami was carried away and an evening train on the B&O Railroad, attempting to cross had the engine knocked off the rails. Passengers were forced to spend the night on the roof of the rail cars.

    When the waters receded, the extensive damage was evident.

    All the merchants on the main downtown streets and many family homes were destroyed or badly damaged.

    There was no government relief in those days, but Cincinnati and Norwood stepped up and contributed generously to Loveland, donating food and clothing.

    Local churches provided temporary quarters to feed and shelter the homeless.

    Very quickly, Loveland residents pulled together and restored services faster than officials believed possible.

    The bridge was replaced in a little over a year’s time.

    Meanwhile, people were able to cross the Little Miami River via walking across the train bridge or by use of wagon teams entering/exiting at the eastern point of Park Ave and the northern point of Taylor.

    Loveland, Ohio – On Friday, May 24th, Loveland High School seniors participated in the long-running annual senior parade. In their final hurrah, the budding adults hauled a number of inspired floats ranging from a dad-themed grill-out in the back of a pickup truck to a large boat to a moving string quartet.

    The senior parade moved via blocked road and police escort from Castle Skateland to Loveland High School at 8:45 AM. Upon arrival, seniors were awarded in superlatives and enjoyed burgers and hot dogs at the annual cookout. Firefighters sprayed water on a slip-and-slide down the front lawn as 2019 Seniors enjoyed their final day at Loveland High School.

    Photos by Loveland Magazine writer/editor David Miller showcase the parade from the vantage point of the Loveland Primary/Elementary Campus on Loveland Madeira Road. Enthusiastic Elementary students gathered on the sidewalk to congratulate the graduating Class of 2019.
