The high-tech equipment links classroom computers with a whiteboard teachers can utilize at the front of their classrooms. “They will go with the new computers we bought last year,” Jung said.
Citizens on Patrol is being credited with helping Delhi Township police nab eight juveniles and one adult for breaking and entering. Police Lt. Joe Macaluso said Tom Winkler and Tom Youngman were on patrol in the group’s marked vehicle when they saw what they thought might be more than suspicious activity. It was the evening of July 8 when the two COP members noticed a vehicle with a woman, a teen and younger child in a vehicle behind the closed Sports of All Sorts store. “They questioned them about what they were doing and got their names and information and license number,” Macaluso said. What took weeks of investigation by police resulted in complicity to breaking and entering
charges for LaDonna Allen, 33, Glenhaven Road, her 15-yearold son and seven other township juveniles ranging in ages from 12-14. Charges were filed Aug. 10. The juveniles have been charged with breaking and entering. Macaluso said the juveniles had been in and out of the building, some several times, stealing what was left of the closed Delhi Road business. They made entry through a small window in the front of the property, Macaluso said. Police were able to recover some of the stolen property. “This is a great example of how much we rely on the Citizens on Patrol to be our eyes and ears,” Macaluso said. “Without them and a Crimestoppers tip, it would have been an even more difficult case to investigate and close.”

Area schools prepare for possible flu outbreak By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com

Our Lady of Victory schools said they are in the process of reviewing their plans for a potential flu outbreak. Most local buildings and districts say they are looking to the Centers for Disease Control and the Hamilton County General Health District for guidance. Hamilton County Health Commissioner Tim Ingram will meet with the county’s school superintendents Aug. 21 to talk about prevention and plans in case of an outbreak locally. Gina Gentry-Fletcher, spokeswoman for Oak Hills Local School District, said, “Oak Hills is following the guidelines established by the Hamilton County board of health.� Elder High School principal Tom Otten said the school will advise students to follow the same cleanliness practices their parents

and teachers have been preaching to them since they were 2 years old. “Wash your hands, cover your mouth when you cough,� Otten said. “We tell our students the same thing every year, but we’re just going to have to refresh them more often this year.� He said Elder teachers and staff will discuss what steps they will take if there is an H1N1 outbreak at the school during their upcoming opening faculty meeting, and he said he is attending the meeting with the health commissioner later this month. Otten said Elder’s school nurse, Linda Giessler, has posted information about the disease for parents and students on the school’s Internet site, as well as links to brochures published by the American Red Cross that describe what a pandemic flu is, how to prevent it and how to handle it if a family member contracts the virus. He said the school will also have more tissues and hand sanitizers available for every classroom this school year.

Seton High School principal Susan Gibbons said their school nurse, Jenny Boles, has taken the lead role in getting the school prepared.

Seton can notify parents and students of possible outbreaks through its phone and e-mail system, and freshmen, sophomore and junior students can all receive updates directly from the school on their personal Tablet PCs, Gibbons said. She said the school will also send materials to every parent advising them to keep students who have a fever home from school for a period of at least 24 hours after the fever breaks.

response plan and has been making preparations to deal with a potential pandemic. These preparations include organizing an incident command team with outside agencies such as the police, fire and health departments, participating in pandemic flu exercises testing emergency preparedness and training staff in responding to a pandemic spread. All of the Cincinnati Public Schools also have disaster kits for medical emergencies. “Cincinnati Public Schools has done a considerable amount of emergency planning over the years to ensure that our schools are safe and that our staff members can appropriately respond to any emergency,� Eghbalnia said. Although she said it was impossible to predict the severity of a potential H1N1 outbreak, she said the district would work closely with the Cincinnati Health Department in monitoring it. Sister Nancy Merkle, principal of Mother of Mercy High School, said policies were developed last year. Any changes will be communicated to parents and students using the school’s e-mail news system. Merkle said Mercy has placed antibacterial hand wash in most classrooms and in strategic areas in the school to encourage hand washing, a top preventative measure recommended by the CDC. “We doubled the amount,� she said. Merkle said the building’s new nurse, Roberta Russo, will help if needed. Students will be encouraged to stay home if they are sick, and will be reminded to practice good hygiene to help limit the spread of the virus.

Glenway Chevrolet to close after 90 years of service Cincinnati News Service Glenway Chevrolet the oldest Chevrolet dealership in Greater Cincinnati and an institution on the city’s westside for 90 years, is closing its doors, probably by the end of the year. Glenway, started by owner Mark Ackerman’s great-grandfather, Al Sieve, on Glenway Avenue in 1919, is one of the more than 1,100 dealerships nationally that General
Motors Corp. is closing as part of its recently completed bankruptcy reorganization. “We’re a family here and this is like a death in the family,� said Ackerman, 53, between TV interviews and taking phone calls and reading e-mails from long- time customers. “I had one 76-year-old gentleman, who came in today to buy a Malibu, said he bought all his cars from us and his parents bought

their cars from us.� Glenway has been part of the west side for decades – not just selling cars but underwriting local teams, events at Elder and Seton High Schools and sponsoring community events such as the Green Township and Delhi Township concert series. The dealership has until October 2010 to wind down operations, but the dealership has only 70 new vehicles and can’t obtain more from the automaker, although it can trade with other dealers if a customer wants a certain color or options. When the last of the new vehicles are sold, the dealership will close. The building is owned by GM, one of the first “new image� stores the automaker opened in the area a decade ago. The dealership is just the latest of as many as a dozen of the 40 area GM dealerships that could eventually
be forced to closed by GM’s downsizing. It joins Superior Chevrolet in Spring Grove Village, Jeff Wyler Cadillac in Fairfield, Rose Chevrolet in Hamilton in closing or announcing closing plans. Seven area Chrysler dealers are also being forced to closed by that automaker’s bankruptcy reorganization. Ackerman said when he got GM’s closing notice on June 2, “I was shocked.� “We didn’t expect a letter,� he said, in part because Glenway was not part of GM’s May round of dealership closings and was told by its Chevrolet representative that the dealership wouldn’t be closed. “We told all our customers we were still in business,� Ackerman said. But things changed in June after GM went into bankruptcy and announced another round of dealership cuts. The westside has the second highest concentra-
tion of Chevrolet registrations in the Cincinnati region, Ackerman said. And Glenway has one of the best Chevrolet sales performances in the area, selling 165 new vehicles since April. Glenway’s 40 employees have known about the closing since the day after Ackerman got the wind-down notice from GM. The dealership sent out 14,000 letters to customers on Monday announcing the closing. “We wanted to do this the right way, by telling our employees and customers first,� said Ackerman. “We’re trying to help our employees find jobs.� Danny Moses, 50, assistant parts manager, has worked at Glenway for more than 22 years. “This place has been like a second family to me,� said Moses, who lives on a farm in Crittenden, Ky. He doesn’t know yet what he’ll do when the dealership closes but has already gotten a
couple job offers. Likewise, Gene Berwanger, 60, a service technician who has worked at Glenway since he graduated from high school in 1968, except for two years in the Army, isn’t sure what he’ll do. “I had planned to retire in another five years, but now I’m not sure,� he said. “This has been a good place to work.� Glenway has employed five generations of Ackerman’s family His sons work in the dealership as have his brother, a couple sisters, a brother-in-law and an aunt and uncle. Said Ackerman: “I feel sad for my dad (Don Ackerman). He’s 80 and this dealership has always been part of his life. He still comes in. It’s a place for him to hang his hat. He was upset when he heard about the closing, and he’s still upset.�
Webzine shares inmates’ stories By Katie Hull khull@communitypress.com
Jeff Hillard of Western Hills turned his dream into reality last year by creating
a Webzine to tell breakthrough stories; “RED! The Breakthrough ‘Zine.� Hillard, editor of the Webzine and professor at College of Mount St. Joseph, helped teach a poetry workshop at a correctional facility in 2001 and continued to mentor inmates in prisons and jails for the next seven years. “(The inmates) were so hungry to do something positive and to write about their experience,� said Hillard. “They were sorry about the
crimes that they had done.� In 2005, it came to him in a dream that the stories of these people must be shared. “It was providential,� said Hillard. “It woke me up in the middle of the night and it was very unusual but I felt extremely passionate about it from that point on.� “RED! The Breakthrough ‘zine� began in April 2008 with a goal to give a voice to those who have changed, said Hillard. “Many of these individuals that we’ve profiled all
write to us from prison and have had breakthrough’s in their life,� he said. “They r e a l i z e Hillard they’ve done wrong.� The Webzine, which can be accessed at www.redwebzine.org, features a column “The Streets,� written by gang intervention specialist Paulette Lewis.

Preening players coax chuckles from generous crowd By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com
They never disappoint. It’s been three decades of high spirits and good fun at the Delhi Skirt Game and participants still are finding ways to make miniskirts, fishnet hose and softball funny. They also manage to make money to help residents in need. “We had a great crowd and they were in a spending mood,” said Clyde Kober, Skirt Game Committee vice president. “This was the best spending crowd that we have had in five years.”
Several of the players raised $1,549 even before the first pitch was thrown during the Ladies Night Out. They pranced and preened for folks along Delhi Road the night before the game for fun and profit. Chuck Tripp was playing in his second Skirt Game and his reasons were simple and echoed many of the participants. “It’s fun, I enjoy it and it makes people smile,” he said while getting dressed as Hulk Hogan’s exwife. Kober said this year’s four recipients will receive their money at the September meeting of the Delhi Athletic Association.

Some interesting things I’ve learned along the way 1) Tune your television to any channel that it doesn’t receive, and about one percent of the dancing static you see is accounted for by … the Big Bang. The next time you complain that there is nothing on, remember that you can always watch the birth of the universe. Bill Bryson “A Short History of Nearly Everything”
2) “The music of the spheres,” the Pythagorean metaphor that has inspired great composers throughout the ages, is no figment of human imagination. As music critic John Rockwell commented, “Who knew? All those philosophers and scientists and theoreticians who believed in the ancient Music of the Spheres were on to something. There is
such a music, and it’s the note B-flat.” Rockwell refers to the fact that in Father Lou 2 0 0 3 Guntzelman a s t r o n Perspectives o m e r s using the Hubble telescope registered
a “cosmic hum” emanating from black holes with “a frequency equivalent to a Bflat which in their instruments calculated to be 57 tones below middle C.” Among musicologists, this news from outer space has sparked an Internet quest for the emotional and aesthetic significance of Bflat …” Elizabeth Michael Boyle “Science as Sacred Metaphor”

3) “Why do kids today wear their baseball caps the wrong way round? asked someone wearing his peakforward. “Two reasons,” said Kipling … First, you need ask yourself what signals a male needs to transmit to a potential mate in order to advertise his suitability as a source of strong genetic material, more likely to survive than that of his competitor males. One answer is brute physical strength. Now, consider the baseball cap. Worn in the traditional style it offer protection against the sun and also the gaze of aggressive competitors. By turning the cap around, the male is signaling that he doesn’t need this protection: he is tough enough to face the elements and the gaze of any who might threaten him. Second, inverting the cap is a gesture of non-conformity. Primates live in highly ordered social structures. Playing by the rules is considered essential. Turning the cap around shows that the male is above the rules that constrain his competitors, and again signals that he has a superior strength.

Julian Baggini “The Pig That Wants To Be Eaten”
4) For the first time in human history belief in God has become implausible in Western civilization, and to the very same extent it had been plausible for earlier generations. As a result, the religious believer is in a defensive position. He knows his belief will be challenged and that if this happens, he will have to explain himself either in religious terms that more often than not irritate the other rather than enlighten him, or in secular terms that are not adequate for expressing transcendence. Therefore, you may expect people to draw back from talking about their religion and their spirituality, and to be afraid of encountering incomprehension if not down right rejection. Agneta Schreurs “Psychotherapy and Spirituality” 5) If spirituality has any single benchmark it is naturalness. Another seems to be the slow but steady erosion of self-consciousness.

When I go out to the garden to pick peppers, I think of Nell Wilson, along with my sisters S o n i a E r v i n , Christine Lawson and Edith Hartwell. Nell is Ron Wilo n â&#x20AC;&#x2122; s Rita smom. Ron Heikenfeld is our garRitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen d e n i n g columnist and I met Nell years ago when I was a guest on Ronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radio show. Nellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pickled pepper recipe is one of the best. Sonia, Christine and Edith were the first of my sisters to learn to make pickled peppers from my mom. Mom made big batches of everything. Nellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version is for smaller batches, which are more doable for most of you. Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never canned, I hope you try a batch. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be glad you did
when you compare the price of pickled peppers with home canned. The bonus is they make great gifts from the kitchen, and you know exactly whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in them.
Nell Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous pickled peppers
*I make this with a mixture of mostly hot peppers. I usually donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add 2 cups sugar; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start out with half a cup, taste the brine, and go from there. (Someone told me you could also use Splenda). If you have extremely hot peppers, though, the 2 cups of sugar is not too much. My sister, Christine, makes my momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big batch version of these and uses no sugar at all so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to you. As far as the yield, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember! It depends on the size of the peppers, whether you use quart or pint jars, etc.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Thanks for response
Some friends and I attended The Skirt Game on Friday, Aug. 7, and experienced an unexpected emergency when my nephew had a seisure at my feet. With the amount of people, vehicles and commotion taking place at the time, I was totally amazed and proud how quickly we received assistance. I would like to thank Officer Jeff Braun, the life squad unit, and everyone who helped me and my nephew at a time of need. Barb Shively Anderson Ferry Road Delhi Tonwship
Thanks for tailor
My name is Kate Phelan and my husband Buddy and I came to Cincinnati the weekend of July 24 for a Irish family wedding. We are from Boca Raton, Fla., and my husband and I had purchased
outfits for the wedding event at Macy’s in Boca Raton. The suit we purchased for my husband we paid to have altered and went and picked it up and paid for it. The day of the wedding, July 25 at 3 p.m. in the afternoon, I took the suit out and OMG … they had not altered the suit. The chalk markings and pins were all over the place. The wedding was at 6:30 p.m. and I started to cry thinking we would not be able to attend it after making the trip to Cincinnati. My sister, Pat Beck, got the phone book out and we called Bianco Custom Tailor and just by chance, Tony Bianco was there. We took the suit up and he altered it and we picked it up around 5:15 p.m. He stayed to do that for us. What a wonderful man and a great tailor. We were able to attend the wedding and Tony Bianco definitely saved the day
CH@TROOM Last week’s question
What are your favorite and least favorite memories from your school days? “Graduation!”
N.P.
“I loved shopping for that ‘First Day of School’ outfit. I disliked though the idea that I would have to give up my daily trips to the Westwood-Cheviot YMCA pool.” C.A.S. “The best part will always be all the lifelong friends I made from school. The worst part has to be dealing with the nuns. I still have nightmares.”
Planned Parenthood defended
As I read “Driehaus votes against taxpayers,” written by Joanne Kemmerer, I felt compelled to comment. First, I don’t see how the “Teen Talk” Web site promotes promiscuity. Promiscuity is a word of judgment generally based on one’s religious and cultural values, which may not be the same for everyone. Teaching youth about sexual health does not promote promiscuity; however, not teaching youth about sexual health promotes promiscuity, as youth are not educated to the risks of sex, such as pregnancy and sexually transmitted infec-
tions. I found the Web site to be factual and engaging. Second, I do not see anywhere that Planned Parenthood promotes “porous condoms.” It is actually stated on the Web site that latex or polyurethane condoms need to be used to prevent STD and HIV infection. Abstinence is ideal, which I support; however, believing that all youth are going to be abstinent is a fallacy. Finally, the issue of abortion is a very personal decision. If you don’t like a store because they don’t sell items that interest you then you don’t shop there. Planned Parenthood is like a store, if they don’t have items that interest you then don’t shop there. Other customers may find something of benefit. Kevin Drummond Queenswood Drive Westwood

Community But John Prout not a conPress guest was formist. Instead, columnist his thinking aligned with the words of Walter Lippman, “Where all people think alike, few people think at all.” In many ways our-west side values and attitudes embody John Prout’s spirit. Our self-sufficient, independent nature and our underdog status, from which has evolved a good work ethic and a need to band together, are rooted in his life’s story. In a time of uncertainty John Prout dared to dream. And in doing so he inspired the Covedale community to believe in itself. But most of all, his vision for the village of Covedale re-defined and firmly established the Covedale identity. John Prout’s legacy is the name Covedale – for if it were not for him the name would have likely faded from our collective memory. Today, the name Covedale symbolizes courage and the ability to think creatively. Today, the name Covedale is John Prout’s gift to us all – a reminder that if we also dare to dream we too can inspire others to face the future with confidence. Jim Grawe is the co-founder of the Covedale Neighborhood Association.
The U.S. Postal Service is losing money and wants to close branches. One of those on the chopping block is the Sayler Park branch. The Sayler Park Village Council is asking residents to write U.S. Rep. Steve Driehaus and ask him to keep it open. His addresses is 441 Vine St., Suite 3003, Cincinnati, OH 45202 or email him at driehaus.house.gov. There has been a post offices in the area since 1834. The first one was a private post office in Delhi Township. It turned into a public post office the following year. In the beginning mail came down the river by steamboat. Then in 1843 The Cincinnati and Whitewater Canal opened along the Ohio River. The ride was smoother and more reliable than steamboats that were subjected to river levels and villages began developing along the path. Industry was plotted on the canal in 1847 around St. Aloysius Church. The post office there opened in 1851. In those early days the post office contracted with a citizen that could read or write and the post office was either in their house or general store. There was not a lot of mail, because the literacy rate was low.
Industry never prospered. Constant flooding caused the canal to go bankrupt and the industries were mismanaged, flooded or burned to the ground. Industry turned into a ghost town. The Postmasters for Industry were: John Kennedy 1851, James Todd 1856, Charles Herman 1857, Alfred M. Cook 1861, Rosalia E. Best 1870, William J. Applegate 1872, John Drucker 1883, and Samuel H. Goodin 1884. The same year the Home City post office opened. It was plotted in 1849 as a residential village also along the canal. It prospered until the canal went bankrupt and growth slowed. Then the railroads bought up the canal beds and by the end of the Civil War trains were running regularly. Existing villages along the railroad tracks again prospered, and new ones sprang up. Home city incorporated in 1879. Postmasters were Aaron Maxon 1851, Abel L. Childs 1852, Stephen Maxon 1853, Alvin G. Clarke 1890, Samuel W. Carpenter 1893, Thomas B. Calloway 1895, and Walter B. Calloway 1896. Anna M. Brauer was the postmaster from 1897 until it was discontinued in 1909.

Delhi was plotted by Peter Zinn in 1866, and he served as the Postmaster. Delhi village Betty Kamuf incorporated in 1885 and Community absorbed the old Press guest village of Induscolumnist try. Delhi’s postmasters were: Samuel Carpenter 1885, Moses L. Andrews 1889, Frederic N. Moore 1892, Edward R. Stephens 1894, Harry R. Enoch 1899, Louis A. Haber 1899 and George Bascom 1901. Fernbank was plotted in 1883 and the post office started there in 1888. The postmasters were: Elizabeth Haire 1888, Asenath Forman 1893, Linda S. Fitch 1898, Theodore C. Snowdon 1899 and William E. Wynne 1907 Most of the postmasters were businessmen operating the post office as a part of their businesses. Maybe we could propose that to the post office again. Are there any businessmen that would like to have the post office in their store? Betty Kamuf is a winner of Griffin Yeatman Award. She lives in Sayler Park. Reach her at sp.column@fuse.net.
Pushing for Section 8 reform Congress recently took up a bill to reform the Housing Choice Voucher Program, known also as the Section 8 voucher program. For years, I have called for major changes to this program, and as your representative in Congress I will continue to push for meaningful reform so that Section 8 is an emergency measure for our most vulnerable citizens and not a long-term public housing program. As a member of the Financial Services Subcommittee on Housing and Community Opportunity, I fought for changes that would improve job incentives and limit the expansion of the program. However, the current legislation does not go nearly far enough to reform Section 8 and includes too much new spending on vouchers. I opposed this bill in committee, and will vote against it when it comes before the House. The Section 8 voucher program should not be a way of life, but a way to help people build successful and independent lives. The voucher program offers a critical safety net for the elderly, persons with disabilities, and struggling families, but the relief
should be temporary assistance as program participants get back on their feet. That’s why I offered legislation to stop additional spending on vouchers. Increasing the number of vouchers is the wrong solution for Section 8, and I will oppose any legislation that does not limit their expansion. Instead, we should emphasize moving people toward steady and gainful employment, off the Section 8 program, and into independent homes. Many families in need face a lengthy waiting list for Section 8 assistance, and if we can better transition people off Section 8, we can better ensure that vouchers are used as an emergency measure for those in dire circumstances. I successfully pushed to expand the “Moving to Work” provisions in the current reform legislation. This program helps those dependent on Section 8 find work, build savings, and move off the voucher program. Housing authorities participating in “Moving to Work” can tailor the program to the needs of their communities. Under “Moving to Work,” communities have established limits on the length of time

Post office has long Sayler Park history
Covedale: John Prout’s legacy At the intersection of Cleves Warsaw Pike, Guerley Road and Glenway Avenue is a building that is a west-side landmark. The inscription at the top, “Prout’s Corner,” is a tribute not only to the man, John D. Prout, but to an entire community. For years the name “Prout’s Corner” was a household word used to describe the entire Covedale business district. As a civic leader, John Prout gave us more than a pretty building. There is probably no one individual who has more influenced our west-side way of living. In 1916 he became the first elected president of the Price Hill Civic Club. And in 1917 he petitioned the city in writing for improvements, expressing in no uncertain terms his displeasure in how Price Hill was being represented. He demanded equal recognition for Price Hill, “similar to that accorded to other suburbs.” In 1929, in order to increase its tax base, Cincinnati sought to annex the developing Covedale area. However, there was a pervasive feeling that the tax revenue generated by previous west-side annexations was being distributed disproportionately to the east side. John Prout was a visionary. At the beginning of the Great Depression, when collectively people lacked confidence in the future, he had the courage to be optimistic and embrace change. In response to the annexation program, he inspired a group of his neighbors with a bold and creative vision: The privilege of self-government by incorporating Covedale as an independent village. Sadly, the movement failed, in

Driehaus Inclusion of the Cincinnati Community Metropolitan Press guest H o u s i n g columnist Authority (CMHA) in “Moving to Work” could help us meet some of the challenges our community is facing with respect to Section 8. I have written to Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan, urging him to include CMHA in the “Moving to Work” program should the program be expanded. CMHA is the 17th largest housing authority in the United States, and CMHA and local leaders are eager to launch a successful program to help families move to work and obtain independent housing. I will continue push to reform Section 8 until we have a system that moves people to work and ends the cycle of dependency. Steve Driehaus (D) is the U.

took over are now seniors and know well what to expect, the coach said. Now, it’s just a matter of translating the hard work into wins. “Everything is coming to fruition,” Commins said of the seniors he’s been coaching for four years. “We have a lot of great young men on this team and they’ve helped change the culture at Oak Hills. “Our work ethic has improved and there is a sense of urgency,” Commins added. A host of starters return for Commins including nine on defense and seven on offense. During Oak Hills’ 3-7 campaign last fall, seven sophomores started defensively for the Highlanders. In 2009, Commins suspects the Highlanders’ defense will be much improved. “(The defense) will lead this team and they have the horses to do so,” Commins said. “These guys have a lot of experience and they are really good players.” A trio of standouts lead the defense including senior nose tackle Ryan Quinn, junior linebacker Ben Russell and junior linebacker Thomas Reuss. “Quinn isn’t just a defensive leader, he’s a team leader,” Commins said.

Oak Hills quarterback Steve Gebing finds an open receiver in the second quarter against Lakota West last season. “Russell has great instincts and Reuss has a tremendous motor.” Seniors Brian Johnson and Geoff Stacey also return to help anchor the Highlanders’ defensive line. Also returning is senior linebacker Jake Hildreth and a number of talented players in the secondary including senior Corie Cartmell, senior Jordan Roell, senior Alex Adams and junior Jay Schunk.

quarterback Steve Gebing returns to take the snaps. At 225 pounds, Gebing is just as much a threat on the ground as he is in the air, Commins said. “There is no doubt that our kids follow Steve,” Commins said. “He has a great arm and he likes to run downhill.” Gebing led the Highlanders with 142 carries last fall while covering 412 yards and scoring four touchdowns on the ground. Gebing also threw for 467 yards with eight touchdowns and four interceptions in 2008. Returning receivers Robert Klotz, a senior, and Cartmell give Gebing nice targets, Commins said. Klotz led Oak Hills’ receivers with 17 catches for 183 yards and one touchdown last fall. Cartmell made 13 catches for 167 yards with three touchdowns. Ben Schmidt played as a lineman in 2008 though he is shifting to tight end for his senior season. Junior Tommy Konkoly, a third-year player, and junior Cory Burgin both return as running backs. Konkoly rushed for 182 yards as a sophomore while also producing 152 yards receiving. A trio of seniors help anchor the offensive line

Bombers look to bounce back By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
The Bombers have been there before – and now they want to get back. In December 2007, the St. Xavier High School football team capped its second undefeated season in three years, won a state title and was widely considered one of the top teams in the country. In October 2008, the Bombers lost three of their last four regular season games – all by three points – and finished 4-6 and missed the playoffs. “(Our players) want to forget about last year,” head coach Steve Specht said. “This is a new year with new opportunities.”

remains focused on the big picture. “Our goal never changes – we want to get better,” he said. “I believe when you’re coaching kids, the goal should always be to get better. We’re trying to go 1-0 every week.” The Bombers will try to go 1-0 in their seasonopening showdown with Colerain at Nippert Stadium on Aug. 28. St. X came up short in that same setting last year, 13-8. “Colerain is one of the best teams in the state,” Specht said. “I think we’re going to go in and compete our tails off.

On the team
The Western Hills High School football program has been on the downward slide recently. However first-year coach Paul Jenne is hopeful of turning that around this season. Last season the Mustangs were 4-6 overall and 3-3 in Cincinnati Metro Athletic play. “We have five returning starters on offense, but we’re using a different offense than what was used in the past, so everyone is starting from square one,” Jenne said. On offense, Jenne plans on running their version of a spread wing t, which will feature ball control and spreading the amount of carries and receptions to many different players. Defensively, the Mustangs will be using a 4-3 as their base and plan on being an attacking defense.
K e y returning players on offense are wide receiver Denzel Cousette, quarterback Jenne LeJason Kemper, wide receiver/running back Jason Smith, running back Jimmy Knight and offensive lineman Ricky Bankhead. Key returning players on defense include defensive end Deonsae Cardwell, linebacker Riley Cheatham, safety Ivan Dunn, safety Dominique Williams and cornerback Jason Smith. Zak Sparks returns on both offense and defense as a running back and a linebacker. “So far the kids have really worked hard and we do have a nice core group of kids that have dedicated themselves to the program and we’ll base everything we do around that core group of players,” Jenne

Lancers don’t want repeat of losing season aamorini@communitypress.com
The 2008 campaign turned into Tom Grippa’s first losing season at La Salle as the Lancers finished at 4-6 last fall. Beginning his seventh year at Grippa the helm, Grippa isn’t looking for two in a row, he said. “We think we have a good football team and we are going to win more than we lose,” Grippa said simply. “I really like the character of this team. Win, lose or draw, I want to go to battle with these kids.” Grippa’s optimism is bolstered by the fact that seven

At the skill positions, returning starters include junior receiver Matt Woeste, junior quarterback Drew Kummer, junior slot back Jimmy Grippa, senior running back Zach Abbatiello and junior running back Matt Farrell. Kummer threw for 319 yards and two touchdowns while completing 20 of 35 passes in 2008. Abbatiello rushed for 167 yards on 28 carries and scored two touchdowns on the ground. Farrell rushed for 118 yards while toting the ball 25 times. Senior Jake Kendall returns to the offensive line after starting in a handful of games in 2008. “I think we will have a very balanced team. We’ll be able to spread the ball around with the run and the pass,” Grippa said. “We have a lot of talent and it all depends on what defenses give us.” Defensively, six senior starters return for La Salle including end Keenan Gibbs, linebacker Joe Andrews, linebacker Tony Appiarius, linebacker Tony Trotta, corner Cameron Cole and safety Pat Bachman.

Falcons set to take next step By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
For a team that returns 11 starters, the Aiken High School football team is still remarkably young. The top returners for the Falcons include senior Deante Alexander (OL), junior Anthony Green Taper (QB) and sophomores Clarence Carter (RB), Marcus Knox (WR) Courtney Cole (OL), Dante Dawson (OL) and Yoshua Bradley (OL). The Falcons endured some growing pains in 2008, posting a 3-7 record. In one three-week stretch, they blew a 14-point lead to Lockland and lost back-toback games to Hughes and Taft in overtime. “Our record could have easily been turned around,” head coach Troy Green said.

He’s a tackling machine.” The Falcons hope to win a league title for the first time since 1988. “The important thing

Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has

Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.

living in a house to make it a home.” All of us know what a house is; how sad it is that so many people do not know what a home is! Home is where people love each other. Home is where we learn to over-look each other’s faults and experience the joy of forgiving as well as being forgiven. Home is where children play, laugh, sing and cry and are comforted by someone who cares. Home is where children are taught by precept and example... where personalities are formed and sent into the world. Home fosters many memories and also should provide the opportunity for meditation, or what someone has called therapy of solitude. Each of us need a quiet time for himself or herself. Honesty begins at home. Respect for law and order begins at home. Love begins at home. A sense of duty begins at home. Respect for people of other colors and creeds begins at home. And religion has its first beginnings in the home. Yes, indeed, - Home is far more than a residence; home involves the character of living that goes on Marilyn Holt inside the house...
