Good morning, Clermont County. Silence has finally been broken at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, where CEO Dr. Steve Davis addressed the departure of three chaplains in a memo emphasizing the institution's politically neutral stance. The controversy centers around Muslim imam Ayman Soliman's immigration status and claims by two other chaplains that they were fired for supporting him—a situation the hospital has approached with careful discretion.
Beyond the headlines, Cincinnati's vibrant bar scene deserves a toast beyond Ghost Baby's national recognition. While one local gem made USA TODAY's "Best Bars" list, expert Keith Pandolfi highlights five more worthy contenders, from the punk-inspired Lost and Found to historic O'Malley's in the Alley. Meanwhile, the community mourns the loss of 6-year-old Mila Thrush, who tragically succumbed to injuries sustained in a Miami Township crash more than two weeks after the accident.

🙏 Cincinnati Children's CEO breaks silence on chaplain controversy. Dr. Steve Davis addressed employees after three chaplains departed the hospital, including Muslim imam Ayman Soliman who lost his immigration asylum status. Two other chaplains claim they were fired for publicly supporting Soliman through interviews and attending a prayer vigil. In his memo, Davis emphasized that the hospital's lack of public comment "should not be mistaken for a lack of caring" and stressed Cincinnati Children's politically neutral stance. The hospital maintains its policy of not commenting on current or former employees.
🍸 Cincinnati's bar scene shines beyond USA TODAY's recognition. While Ghost Baby made the national "Best Bars in America" list, local expert Keith Pandolfi identifies five more worthy contenders in the Queen City. These hidden gems include Lost and Found with its punk-meets-sophistication vibe, historic O'Malley's in the Alley (Cincinnati's second-oldest bar), the service industry haven Uncle Leo's, the art deco masterpiece The Lounge at 1931, and the cozy, maritime-inspired Covalt Station in Milford. Each offers unique atmospheres, from rustic timber frames to 1930s architectural splendor, alongside exceptional food and drink offerings.
💔 Tragedy strikes as 6-year-old girl dies after Miami Township crash. Mila Thrush succumbed to her injuries Thursday at Dayton Children's Hospital, more than two weeks after a serious accident on Shephard Road. The crash occurred when a 39-year-old driver crossed the centerline in his Hyundai Elantra, lost control, and struck multiple trees before landing in a ravine. The driver suffered minor injuries, while Thrush and a 3-year-old passenger were both seriously hurt. Ohio State Highway Patrol continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the tragic accident.
