Kellogg’s employee celebrates 5 decades of employment lwakeland@communitypress.com
An old oak tree on Flintpoint Way in Mariemont has been cut down. The tree was at the center of a contentious debate in Mariemont and is now a stump next a driveway. Bridgett and David Karlson wanted to remove the “heritage” tree – defined by the village as a tree at least 25 inches in diameter at chest height – because they said it restricted access to their driveway and created a safety hazard. “We struggled with this decision for months and months,” David Karlson said. “This isn’t just about convenience.” FULL STORY, A5
Leader must move
New Cincinnati schools Superintendent Mary Ronan must move out of suburban Anderson Township and into the school district, under the terms of a three-year contract she signed with the school board this week. Ronan has to either buy or lease a “primary residency” within the boundaries of Cincinnati Public Schools by Aug. 1, 2010. The district will give her $25,000 for the move, and also give her $5,000 annually as a “retention and continuity” bonus once she does. FULL STORY, A7

Sidney Sims remembers a time when every Fudge Stripe cookie was put in its tray by hand. “The women packed the cookies and the men ran the machines,” he said. “Now everything is done by robots.” Sims has seen a lot change at the Kellogg’s bakery in Mariemont the five decades that he’s worked there in multiple positions. After his time as a paratrooper for the U.S. Army, the 20-year-old Sims got a job at the Mariemont plant in 1959, when it was still called Strietmann Biscuit Co. “When I first got this job it wasn’t the one I wanted, but looking back it was the ideal job,” he said.
Sims, 70, said his job at Kellogg’s provided stability over the years and he’s glad he was able to provide for his family and put his children through school. Plant manager Patrick Taylor said Sims is highly respected by his co-workers and always has a pleasant demeanor. “He really exhibits a lot of our (company) values. He has integrity and is dependable.” Sims was recently recognized for his service and Mariemont Mayor Dan Policastro read a proclamation declaring July 1, his 50th anniversary at the plant, as “Sidney Sims Day” in the village. The key to staying with one company, Sims said, was his ability to be flexible. “You have to be able to adapt and not allow things to bother you.”

Hyde Park to post crime stats By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com
The Hyde Park Neighborhood Council has voted in favor of posting Cincinnati Police crime statistics on its Web site. “I can’t think of anything more important to the community than these reports,” said council member Paul Naberhaus, who proposed putting the stats on the Web during last night’s council meeting. “I have a concern with the gigantic leap in crime.” Naberhaus said his decision came following a report by the
police regarding burglaries and break-ins in the community. H o w e v e r, council member Carl Uebelacker said he had reservations Naberhaus about posting the information. Uebelacker said he was worried this would promote high-crime areas. “Do we do a disservice to the community posting this?” he asked. However, council member Cheryl Koopman said the informa-

Columbia Twp. seeks to ‘LEED’ economy By Rob Dowdy rdowdy@communitypress.com
Columbia Township is joining Hamilton County in expanding the use of the Community Reinvestment Area program in order to stimulate the local economy. The township, however, plans to go a step further, by offering the Community Reinvestment Area program, which offers tax abatements to homes and businesses for redevelopment or improvements, to nearly the entire township. Columbia Township will offer larger abatements for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) projects.
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program is a building certification system that verifies a building was Langenkamp designed and built using strategies aimed at improving energy savings, water efficiency, carbon dioxide emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources. During last week’s Columbia Township trustees meeting, the
trustees conducted the first reading of the Community Reinvestment Area resolution. The Community Reinvestment Area will expand from just three small areas within Columbia Township to the entire township, with the exception of the small portion that falls within the Indian Hill Exempted Village School District. Columbia Township Trustee President Stephen Langenkamp said the township has heard from developers and current business owners interested in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design developments. He said offering this abatement
is important to bringing those new developments to the township. “I’d like to have that tool available for (developers),” Langenkamp said. Township Administrator Michael Lemon said Columbia Township developed their Community Reinvestment Area program with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design incentives in conjunction with Hamilton County, which recently announced its plans to expand the county’s Community Reinvestment Area. The county will expand its Community Reinvestment Area program to projects starting in the next 18 months.

Going face to Facebook with local blogger By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com
FORREST SELLERS/STAFF
Oakley resident and book contributor Cole Imperi wants to make social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook easier to use and understand.
Social networker Cole Imperi knows that technological jargon can easily blog – make that bog – people down. In an effort to simplify technological jaron, Imperi has contributed to several books and is also in the process of planning several workshops. “There are no rules or books on how to use social media,” she said referring to popular platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
“That’s where I come in. I try to make it as easy to understand as possible.” Imperi, 24, contributed to a chapter on the blogging platform Tumblr for the recently released book “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Social Media, but were afraid to ask ...” by Hilary JM Topper. The Oakley resident is also a creative director at Doth Brands and a majority owner of Imperi Partners. “What I like about social media is the same thing I like about meeting friends in a coffee shop,” she said.
“(It’s an) opportunity to socialize.” Imperi, who majored in journalism at the University of Cincinnati, said her interest in social media began with Facebook. “People know what you are talking about when you mention Facebook, but they don’t know how it really works,” she said. “I want to show how it works.” Imperi plans to have a workshop on social networking for beginners sometime in the fall. To learn more about Imperi, visit her Web site at www.coleimperi.com.

The space is currently used for storage and as a laser target practice space for the police department. Krueger said some of the doors are rusted and the windows need to be replaced.

This tree, estimated to be at least 50 years old, was removed last week. The Karlsons, who live on Flintpoint Way, said the tree made it difficult to access their driveway. LISA WAKELAND/STAFF

Workers clear logs and debris from the Mariemont “heritage” tree on Flintpoint Way on Aug. 11. The tree was declared a safety hazard and was allowed to be removed, a decision that angered many residents.
OHIO OHIO HEAT HEAT BASEBALL BASEBALL PROGRAM PROGRAM
Mariemont cuts down ‘heritage’ tree An old oak tree on Flintpoint Way in Mariemont has been cut down. The tree was at the center of a contentious debate in Mariemont and is now a stump next a driveway. Bridgett and David Karlson wanted to remove the “heritage” tree – defined by the village as a tree at least 25 inches in diameter at chest height – because they said it restricted access to their driveway and created a safety hazard. “We struggled with this decision for months and months,” David Karlson said. “This isn’t just about convenience.” The issue arose six months ago when an adjoining driveway between the Karlson’s property and the Maze’s property next door was split into two separate driveways and no longer had shared access. Lori Maze said she and her husband, Chester, had offered an additional 3-foot easement before they reconstructed their driveway to allow the Karlsons enough space to drive around the “heritage” tree. “We never wanted the tree to come down,” Maze said. She added that they sent letters to the village and the Karlsons, asking about other options to save the tree, but never received a response. The Karlsons said 3 feet was not enough room to safely turn in and out of the driveway. Earlier this year, Mariemont Building Commissioner Dennis Malone denied a permit to remove the healthy tree, in the village right of way, because the driveway was still accessible. “It was passable only if we drove over their property and we have tried to alleviate these issues,” Bridgett Karlson said. The decision was appealed to the village’s Planning Commission, whose members voted for removal. “I’m disappointed with the Planning Commission’s decision,” said Mike Smythe, who lives across the street. “I’m concerned that this sets a precedent for more trees to follow.” Some critics of the decision have argued that many residents have trees adjacent to their driveways. Others asked if it would affect the village’s “Tree City USA” status. Bridgett Karlson said they looked at other options, such as building the driveway around the tree, but those were not feasible. “Nobody wanted the tree

The Karlsons have said they will make a donation to the village to offset costs incurred by removing the tree. “It’s a very unfortunate thing that happened,” neighbor Lynn Smythe said about the situation.

New school leader must move to district Cincinnati Public School’s Ronan agrees to board request Gannett News Service New Cincinnati schools Superintendent Mary Ronan must move out of suburban Anderson Township and into the school district, under the terms of a three-year contract she signed with the school board this week. Ronan has to either buy or lease a “primary residency” within the boundaries of Cincinnati Public Schools by Aug. 1, 2010. The district will give her $25,000 for the move, and also give her $5,000 annually as a “retention and continuity” bonus once she does. “I enjoy the city, I enjoy the suburbs, and I have moved a lot over the course of my lifetime,” said Ronan, who did not object to the requirement. “I’m exploring options.” The Ohio Supreme Court ruled against municipal residency requirements in June, and the legal authority for the school system to compel its employees’ residence is murky. But the board and Ronan
agreed that her move would make an important political statement. “We wanted that kind of display of commitment,” said board vice president Melanie Bates. The requirement is typical for Cincinnati superintendents. Michael Brandt, who lived in Delhi Township in the 1990s during his term, was the last leader to avoid it. Now, as Newport superintendent, he’s fighting a Kentucky state law that says he must be a Kentucky resident. Ronan, 55, will make a base salary of $189,000 annually, effective retroactively to her April 16 appointment. That’s a $9,000 raise from what she earned as an interim superintendent, but nearly $15,000 less than her predecessor, Rosa Blackwell was making when she retired in August 2008. “The base salary is probably below the standard for large urban districts, and certainly below that for upscale suburban districts,” said James Lytle, an education professor at the University of Pennsylvania who examined the contract. The first-time superintendent will be eligible for up to a 6-percent raise each year, based on the board’s evaluation. Blackwell was eligible for up to 15-percent raises. However, as is common for big-city schools chief, the salary is just the beginning of the compensation package.

Cincinnati Public Schools is the first district in the U.S. to sign on for a new Web-based initiative that organizers hope will boost students’ fitness and nutrition and schools’ bottom lines. Cincinnati Public Schools and Clever Crazes for Kids announced their partnership last week. Dianne Dunkelman, founder of Clever Crazes, said the program combines information and entertainment – she called it “edu-tainment” – for children ages 6 to 12 in four core areas: Nutrition, physical activity, self-esteem and living “green.” A “golden thread” links the
four areas, Dunkelman said. “If you’re being bullied at school, you’re not going to be out on the playground or out playing sports,” she said. “You’re going to inside eating junk food to make yourself feel better.” Mary Ronan, Cincinnati Public Schools superintendent, said Clever Crazes “is a fabulous complement to our existing wellness programs.” Students, with parents’ permission, can log onto www.clevercrazes.com, and visit any of the four key areas to learn fun facts and take educational quizzes.

Cincinnati Public School Superintendent Mary Ronan has agreed to move from Anderson Township and live within the Cincinnati school district boundaries. Only counting the components that carry an explicit price tag, she’ll earn an additional $13,200 per year for now, and then will enjoy the $5,000 retention bonus beginning in 2010. For the most part, the extras are similar or less than what Blackwell received. Even adding all those other components together, Ronan’s total compensation package is “in the ballpark of national trends,” Lytle said. Lytle criticized the contract for not specifically spelling out what Ronan must accomplish in order to receive bonuses and raises. Her raises will depend on the board’s annual evaluations instead. Board president Eileen Cooper Reed said they decided against specific incentive goals, because laws regarding student testing and other measurement tools are likely to change. Residency requirements for superintendents, once standard, have become less common in Ohio as the pool of potential candidates has shrunk, giving them more bargaining power, said Scott Ebright, spokesman for the Ohio School Boards Association.

Schools, in turn, earn points based on their students’ participation, and schools that rack up the most points earn cash prizes to buy equipment and supplies, Dunkelman said. The prize money is an incentive, Ronan said. “Times are tight. Our teachers do look for additional ways to buy supplies and bring resources to their classrooms,” she said. Dunkelman said schools in the Cincinnati Archdiocese will also join the effort, and some charter schools are also considering it.
Mariemont City Schools are preparing for the potential resurgence of the H1N1 virus this fall. Superintendent Paul Imhoff said the school district sent informational letters to parents and trained staff about flu symptoms. “This is certainly on the top of our list and we are taking extra precautions,” he said. When school starts, Imhoff said they will remind students to cover coughs and frequently wash hands to prevent spreading the flu virus. “Those are things we usually do, but we’ll certainly do more of that,” he said. The school nurse will be available to answer any questions from parents or students. Imhoff said he is meeting with Hamilton County health officials to learn more about how to protect students and staff from H1N1 and other flu viruses. Megan Hummel, a public affairs specialist with Hamilton County Public Health, said H1N1 vaccines are expected to arrive in the fall. She said the agency is working
Stay healthy
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have developed tips to help people stay healthy during flu season. • Cover nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze. • Wash hands frequently with soap and water. Alcohol-based cleaners are also effective. • Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth and stay home if sick. • Stay informed. Visit www.cdc.gov or call 1-800-232-4636 for more information. with schools in devising a distribution plan for the vaccine. Hummel said school-age children will be among the first to be vaccinated because they tend to be at a higher risk. Hummel said public health agencies are preparing for the reemergence of the H1N1 virus. “It’s not necessarily that the illness will be more severe, but it could be more widespread,” she said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have developed preparation guides, communication tool kits and other resources for schools.
Computer glitch deletes Kilgour registrants By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com
A computer glitch fouled up registration for new students at Kilgour School in the Cincinnati Public School District. “What apparently happened is some of the parents who had registered, particularly (for) kindergarten, did not get picked up by the new data system,” said Janet Walsh, director of public affairs for Cincinnati Public Schools. Walsh said Hyde Park regis-
trants at Kilgour School seemed to be the ones affected by the computer problem. She said although these registrants may not officially be in the electronic data system at this time, the district still has a paper backup with the registration information. Walsh recommended calling the school directly with any registration issues or to confirm whether a student is registered. For information, call 3633000.
SCHOOL NOTES Writer-in-Residence program
The Seven Hills School has established the Eva Jane Romaine Coombe Writer-in-Residence Program for the 2009-2010 school year. The program, which includes the addition of a creative writing elective to the Upper School curriculum, was made possible by a bequest from alumna Eva Jane Romaine Coombe, a grant from the Margaret Hall Foundation and other individual gifts. The Eva Jane Romaine Coombe Writer-inResidence Program is designed to host a published writer each year who will teach two semester-long creative writing courses for selected juniors and seniors, pursue personal writing projects and organize school events designed to heighten involvement in creative writing. Seven Hills appointed Kristen FitzPatrick as the first Coombe Writer in Residence. A native of Detroit, FitzPatrick is an experienced college writing instructor who has taught in California, Illinois, Michigan and
Japan. She has an M.F.A. in creative writing from California State University, an M.A. in writing from DePaul University and a B.A. from Michigan State University.

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.

GOP picks Jones for vacant Senate seat Gannett News Service Ohio Senate Republicans last week picked state Rep. Shannon Jones to become the newest member of the Senate, representing about 330,000 residents of Hamilton and Warren counties. Jones, of Springboro, was among four candidates who applied for the 7th District seat left vacant by the June 19 death of Sen. Bob Schuler. The Sycamore Township Republican died of cancer. Republicans represent 21 of the state’s 33 Senate dis-

tricts, including this appointment “I look forward to working with my colleagues in the weeks and months ahead on the many challenges facing Ohio and pledge my best efforts to ensure the voice of my constituents is heard at the Statehouse,â€? Jones said. “I am honored and humbled to have been given the opportunity to represent the people of the 7th Senate District,â€? Jones said. Jones will complete Schuler’s unexpired fouryear term, and has to run for election in 2010. Her 67th District seat now has to be filled in the Ohio House. She is in her second two-year term. Alex M. Triantafilou, chairman of the Hamilton County Republican Party, said that Jones, who once served as executive director of the county GOP, will make a great state senator. “Shannon is well-known to Cincinnatians. We’re very happy for Shannon.’’ The other applicants were: • Former Rep. Tom Brinkman Jr. of Mount Lookout • Former Rep. Michelle Schneider of Madeira • Patrick McQuiddy, a self-described common citizen from Lebanon.
PROVIDED
Shannon Jones, second from left, takes the oath of office for the 7th Senate District from Senate President Bill Harris, left, in the Ohio Senate. Also present were Jones’ son, Jacob, her husband, Russell, and her stepmother and father. Brinkman and Schneider were term-limited from the House in 2008 after serving eight years. Brinkman said he told the seven-member screening committee that they should have picked a separate “placeholder’’ appointee – someone not interested in seeking the job permanently. Then the others could seek voter approval in next spring’s primary election. “At least then you have at least some public participation,’’ Brinkman said.
“They are going to hurt feelings and disenfranchise 330,000 people.’’ Jones will get a head start by running next year as an incumbent state senator for a full four-year term – which pays a base annual salary of $60,584. The 7th Senate District is heavily Republican: Schuler was re-elected in 2006 over Democrat Rick Smith with 62 percent of the vote. The seat covers eastern Hamilton County and all of Warren County.

How to pickle that peck of peppers
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 ’ s Rita smom. Ron Heikenfeld is our garRita’s kitchen d e n i n g columnist and I met Nell years ago when I was a guest on Ron’s radio show. Nell’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. Nell’s version is for smaller batches, which are more doable for most of you. Even if you’ve never
canned, I hope you try a batch. You’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 what’s in them.

Nell Wilson’s famous pickled peppers
*I make this with a mixture of mostly hot peppers. I usually don’t add 2 cups sugar; I’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 mom’s big batch version of these and uses no sugar at all so it’s up to you. As far as the yield, I don’t remember! It depends on the size of the peppers, whether you use quart or

Sterilizing jars

Wash. Leave whole with a slit down the center, or cut into slices as desired. I like to remove seeds if I slice them, but this is optional. Remember the membrane that the seeds are attached to is the hottest part of the pepper, and the seeds are the second hottest part. Place peppers in sterilized, hot jars, packing tightly. Pour boiling brine over, covering peppers. Add seasonings, such as garlic, bay leaf, herbs, etc. or leave plain. Wipe rims with wet cloth. Put lids on. No need to process these as the vinegar keeps bacteria out. Jars will seal on their own – you’ll hear little “pings� as the seal com-
pletes. Any that don’t seal just put in fridge. Chill in refrigerator before serving.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen
• The lids are a twoparter: a flat seal and a ring. The rings are reusable; the seals are not. • Video for pickling peppers on abouteating.com.
Rita’s goat cheese log
So easy and so impressive. Just roll a goat cheese log into some chopped herbs and/or edible flowers. Choose one or two or a lot, like parsley, basil, oregano, rosemary (not too much), chives, thyme, sage, nasturtiums, rose petals, etc. Delicious with French bread or crackers.

Firefighter jailed for equipment theft Nadel was bothered that Bacon stole even after the fire department helped him by placing him on disability so he could have an income. “He showed his appreciation by turning around and stealing from them,� Nadel said. “You have a public trust that you betrayed. Authorities discovered the theft when a $900 brass hose nozzle made for the
Cincinnati Fire Department turned up in Indiana. Also stolen were medical supplies, special undergarments used in fighting fires, helmets, boots, gloves and fire axes. Originally, the theft was estimated at $75,000 in equipment. Bacon – who joined the department in 1999 and had an annual salary last year of
$58,256 – must spend six months in jail and three years on probation. He also has to repay the $60,000 he received from the sale of the stolen equipment and serve 100 hours of community service. Smith will spend two months in jail, must make restitution, be on three years of probation and perform 80 hours of community service.

Gannett News Service A veteran Cincinnati firefighter and his girlfriend were sent to jail last week for stealing firefighting equipment and selling it online. “I know what I did was wrong and I regret it,� firefighter Eric Bacon told Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Norbert Nadel. “I am personally ashamed of what I’ve done.� What Bacon did was steal $60,000 in fire equipment while working in the Cincinnati Fire Department warehouse. He said he worked there because, during a 2006 cruise, he mixed drugs and alcohol and overdosed, resulting in brain injuries that put him on disability. “Today, I am standing here as a thief,� Bacon said. He didn’t stand there long as the judge sent the 10-year veteran to the Hamilton County Justice Center for six months and placed him on probation for three years. Nadel also ordered Bacon to reimburse the fire department $60,000 for the stolen equipment his girlfriend sold on eBay. “I lost my job over this. This is not something we intentionally set out to do,� Angela Smith, Bacon’s girlfriend and a former respiratory therapist, told the judge. Smith, 27, said Bacon, 35, moved in to her Mount Washington house with firefighting equipment and a drug addiction. After she sold some of her belongings and then some of his online, she still needed money because Bacon, she said, was stealing money from her to fuel his addiction. While selling her house, she found another 392 items Bacon stole from the fire department. She returned them. Assistant prosecutor Bill Anderson urged the judge not to believe Smith’s assertion it was all an innocent mistake. “It was just pure, unadulterated greed and theft from the taxpayers,� Anderson said.

Do your part to prepare for H1N1 As H1N1 flu continues to circulate both locally and nationally, Hamilton County Public Health is working to prepare for vaccine distribution as well as possible widespread illness this fall. Since 2001, public health agencies have been working hard to ensure we are prepared to handle emergency situations that might arise from natural disasters, terrorist attacks or disease pandemics. While governments and public health agencies are hard at work, there are things everyone can – and should – do to stay healthy. H1N1 virus seems to spread the same way seasonal flu spreads: Mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing by people with flu. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. That’s why practicing proper hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette is critical: • Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. If soap and water are not near by, use an alcohol-based hand cleaner.
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If a tissue is not available, use the inside of your elbow to cover your cough or sneeze, not your hands. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way. • Try to avoid close contact with sick people. Try to stay six feet away from people who are coughing or sneezing. • If you are sick, you should stay home until you are feverfree, without the use of feverreducing medicine, for at least 24 hours. As we anticipate H1N1 and regular flu season, there are some additional ways to protect yourself and help stop the spread of disease in our community.
Get informed
This is a rapidly changing situation. I encourage you to updated information by visiting www.hamiltoncountyhealth.com and www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu.

What are your favorite and least favorite memories from your school days? “One of my favorite memories from school was of our plane geometry class. The teacher was a soft-spoken, patient nun and she made learning the subject really fun. “Least favorite memory would have to be the day when two of my classmates conspired to go to another classroom before school started and bring back a guy with whom I had an argument the previous day. “I was totally surprised when I looked up from my desk and saw them standing there. As I was standing up, he sucker punched me.” Bill B. “Going back to school in the fall when I was a child meant new shoes and school supplies that included new crayons and pencils. I loved the new box of crayons with the sharp ends! This was before computers, cell phones and calculators. “I also loved getting back in the classroom to see friends I hadn't seen all summer. This was before playdates and kids stayed in their own neighbors and parents didn't drive them to other neighborhoods. “I remember getting out my clothes the night before the first day and having a hard time getting to sleep because I was so excited to go back to school. I loved the teachers and the chalk boards and the books. “It was a long time ago, but nice to remember.” E.E.C. “Being hall monitor, having free roam of the playground which had lots of trees and sandboxes, after lunch you could buy a ticket for a nickel to see a movie in the auditorium (usually it was Laurel and Hardy serials) or you could choose to go to the library instead or you could just go home for lunch. No school buses; we walked come rain, shine, sleet, hail, snow. Our school lunches were 20 cents and all the pies were made there in the kitchen. At one school I attended
they were caught serving horse meat for hamburger! I liked art and gym and cooking and shop and hated everything else! If someone disrupted class by misbehaving they were sent down to the office and had their hands/bottom whacked! Sometimes the teacher did it and saved the principal the bother. Needless to say there were very few kids that acted up! But, lookout when he left the room as the spitballs and erasers went a-flying. I still stay in touch with several school friends from fourth grade.” Duke “My favorite and least favorite memories of school will be shared next week at Amelia’s 45th high school reunion. The dusty yearbook is never near-right and due to my age or whatever, a few less seats will be occupied at our reunion. “Personally and back then as a transfer for Withrow to Amelia – school was just great in sharing with my ‘first serious girl’ all the times in school activities, living for the moment, finding a haven of sorts in Witham Woods and looking forward to the weekends. “Least favorite memories include sitting in government class in November of 1963 and hearing over the school PA system that our president was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. “Also of memories back then was a paper required of a troubled country and of our early involvement. The country was Vietnam. I eventually went on to participate at the expense of higher education. I don’t remember my grade on the assignment, but I know the assignment to Vietnam changed my life. “When I look back, school of our age deserved innocence and growth. So many were cut short at an early age regardless of my so many fortunate memories.” J.W.
and everyone should consider receiving the H1N1 vaccine, upon availability. People that are at high risk for illness and therefore are a priority to receive the H1N1 vaccine include: • Pregnant women • People who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age • Health care and emergency services personnel • People between the ages of 6 months through 24 years of age • People ages 25 through 64 years with chronic health disorders or weakened immune systems Don’t forget about the seasonal flu vaccine! There is a lot of discussion about H1N1 flu, but the usual seasonal flu viruses are still expected to cause illness this fall and winter. While it won’t protect you against H1N1 flu, the single best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu shot each fall. By getting a flu shot, you ensure that you will stay healthy and that you will not spread the flu to those who are at high risk for serious flu complications, such as the elderly, young children and people with certain
health tions.

Crime victims have rights too Criminal defendants have many well-known constitutional rights. These include the right to counsel, due process and speedy trial. Victims of crime in Ohio also have important legal rights. Police, prosecutors, judges and correction officials have a legal duty to consider the victim’s rights. Within a reasonable amount of time after an offender’s arrest the police must notify the victim of the offender’s arrest, the offender’s name and whether the offender is eligible for pre-trial release. The prosecutor in the case, to the extent practicable, must confer with the victim before agreeing to a plea bargain or dismissing any charges. Upon the victim’s request, the prosecutor must inform the victim of the date, time and place of any scheduled proceeding in the case.
The victim may be present whenever the defendant is present during any stage of the case conducted on the record other than Judge Brad grand jury proGreenberg ceedings or if to Community necessary ensure a fair Press guest trial. columnist The court shall make reasonable efforts to minimize contact between the victim and the defendant and their family members including providing separate waiting areas if available. The prosecutor is required to notify the victim of the defendant’s acquittal or conviction and the sentencing hearing. Before imposing sentence, the court must permit and consider
the victim’s statement about the impact of the crime and recommended sentence. The court must also permit and consider the victim’s statement before granting early release of the defendant. The victim may also request information from the jail or prison housing the defendant. If requested, the prison must notify the victim in advance of any parole hearing. The victim also must be notified of any escape, release or death of the inmate. Unfortunately, crime victims often feel that the justice system cares more about the rights of criminal defendants than victims. Victims of crime should know that they have legal rights too. The justice system must protect the rights of victims and the accused. Judge Brad Greenberg presides in Hamilton County Municipal Court.

Mariemont aims for D-V playoffs By Anthony Amorini
aamorini@communitypress.com
Bolstered experience and a shift to Division V status is conjuring thoughts of a return to the playoffs for the Mariemont Warriors. The Warriors last Crosby appeared in Division IV playoffs in 2005 and finished at 2-8 last fall. But with seven starters returning on both offense and defense, 29th-year head coach Tom Crosby believes the optimism is well founded. At the start of its 2-8 campaign in 2008, the Warriors only had one returning

These kids are eager to learn and anxious to prove themselves.” Offensively, the majority of Mariemont’s skill players are returning starters including junior running back Jake Griffin, senior fullback Chris Groppe and junior quarterback Chip Stewart. Groppe score eight touchdowns while averaging 5.8 yards a carry in 2008. Anchored by senior tackle Bryan Georgilis, additional returning starters on the
offensive line include junior center Drew Hyer, junior guard Evan Hollyday and senior guard Riley Webb. Sophomore running back Griffin Donnelly will make an immediate impact offensively for Mariemont. “I think we will be much improved on the line,” Crosby said. “I’m also very happy with the athleticism of our running backs.” Defensively, Groppe returns as a linebacker to help lead the Warriors. Groppe finished with 110 tackles and seven sacks last fall. Additional defensive leaders include junior safety John Sunday, senior linebacker Kevin Nerl and senior middle guard Tyler Wood. Junior linebackers Alex Utt and Chase Beach are also returning starters. “Up front, we are small but quick and athletic,” Crosby said. “We don’t have a lot of size on defense, but we are very pleased with our secondary.” Crosby won the 200th game of his coaching career last year and is 200-114-1 overall. As Mariemont’s head coach, Crosby is 193-101-1 through his 29-year stint as the coach and is closing in on 200 wins as a Warrior.

Walnut Hills aims for winning season By Mark Chalifoux
mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Walnut Hills High School football team is going in the right direction and that means playing for a winning Bucher record in 2009. “The honeymoon is over. Breaking the losing streak is a thing of the past and we have higher Crawley expectations now,” second-year head coach G e o r g e Kontsis said. “The program is on the rise, Roley thanks to an
outstanding coaching staff and players that take things seriously and work hard.” If the Eagles are going to finish with a winning season, the team’s experience and team speed will be two of the reasons. The Eagles were young in 2008 and return some good game experience. “They learned to compete but the young kids last year were just puppies and now they are a whole year stronger and faster,” Kontsis said. “That experience adds up.” The Eagles will have some playmakers on the gridiron this fall as well, starting with quarterback Dez Stewart. Stewart is convert from wide receiver and Kontsis said Stewart is grasping the offense very well. “We’re asking a lot of him and he obviously runs the ball well and is progressing in the passing game,” Kontsis said.

Sophomore cornerback and running back Kenny Davis is another player to watch for Walnut Hills. Juniors Miles Crawley and J.R. Roley will be the standouts at the wide receiver position and linebacker Mike Brown will be another key player. Max Bucher and Isaac Sebron will be key linemen for the Eagles. One area the Eagles will have to improve is leadership, according to Kontsis. “We lost a lot of great senior leadership and we’re waiting for some of the guys to really step up,” he said. The team also lost several linemen to graduation and will be working younger players into those positions. While the team has some talented players, there are a lot of young faces on the team and some inexperience as well. There are a few newer players to keep an eye on, including tackle Evan Addison, Jared Erkins on the line and tight ends and defensive ends Benson Browne and Jalen Harris.

Ricky Foster led Walnut Hills in rushing touchdowns in 2008 and will be a key factor in the backfield again in 2009. “We’ve got some good young talent. We just need them to develop right away,” Kontsis said. The team has a difficult schedule, including an opening game against Purcell Marian and a tough FAVC slate. “You always have Kings and Turpin. Little Miami will be very good and Talawan-
da is strong,” Kontsis said. Kontsis said the leadership issue will be important for Walnut Hills. The team still has a lot to learn, but he’s optimistic for the season and the Eagles’ future. “We’ve come a long way, we’re a lot better now than we were at this time last year,” he said.

Cougars ready for first year in MVC By Mark Chalifoux
mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Clark Montessori football team is in its first season in the Miami Valley Conference and the Cougars have one major goal for the 2009 season: Finish with the school’s first winning record. “I think we do have a shot at a winning season,” head coach Steve Sheehan said. If Sheehan seems overly optimistic, it’s because of his team’s speed. The Cougars should have strong team speed on both sides of the ball. Clark has nine players who run a 40-yard dash in less than 4.8 seconds. “Our speed factor is very good and is something we can take advantage of to make some plays,” Sheehan said. Clark played its first full varsity football season in 2008 and the Cougars do return a number of players. Still, Sheehan would like to see the numbers increase in the next few seasons. Clark only has seven seniors on the roster in 2009. “We’re working hard to build the program up and

“ T h e y have been working very hard and have been good leaders but we need to Sheehan build the numbers up so we don’t need so many kids to play both ways,” he said. If the Cougars have a thin spot, it’s on the offensive and defensive lines. Clark Montessori doesn’t have a considerable amount of line depth, so the Cougars will have to stay healthy up front. The team will be led by a handful of playmakers, including quarterback Casey Calmeise. Senior running back Montez Greer, junior offensive lineman Sam leeman and junior wideout Al Upshaw. The defense will be led by senior linebackers Maurice Smoot, Ernest Smith and Ashford Chenault. Junior defensive back Cameron Toney is another player to watch. The team returns 13 starters from 2008 and has a tough schedule that includes four teams that went to the playoffs in 2008, including CHCA, North College Hill and Lockland. “These are new teams for us since we weren’t in the league last year,” Sheehan said. It will be important for Clark to get off to a fast start, as the Cougars have winnable games against Middletown Christian, Dayton Christian and Williamsburg to start the season. “I think we’ll play very sound defense and we’ve got a lot of team speed,” Sheehan said. “Our goal is to finish with a winning season and I think we can do that.”

If there’s one thing Withrow High School isn’t used to, it’s losing. That’s why the Tigers will play to erase the sting of a 4-6 record in 2008. “Those guys had never been part of a losing team until last year,” returning head coach Doc Gamble said. “We aren’t happy having an average season, we want to be Gamble great.” Gamble, who coached at Fairfield in 2008, said losing isn’t fun for anyone. “I experienced my first losing season as a head coach last year and losing is not fun at all,” he said. The Tigers will be balanced in 2009 as Withrow has some playmakers on both sides of the ball. Gamble said the Tigers have a good senior class that is working to raise the bar. “We expect those guys to lead us. We should be able to hang our hat on those guys,” he said.

Ken Minor takes over at Summit By Anthony Amorini

aamorini@communitypress.com
Longtime head coach Ken Minor knows what it takes to get to the high school playoffs. Beginning his first season at the helm of S u m m i t Country Day’s proMinor g r a m , Minor’s long-term goal is simple albeit lofty. “The goal is to get Summit to the playoffs,” Minor said as he prepared to begin his 30th year as a football coach in Cincinnati. Minor coached in the playoffs during seven of the past nine years including six trips as head coach at Reading and one trip as offensive coordinator at North College Hill. “It’s rejuvenating for me to come into a program like this,” Minor said of taking over at Summit. “It’s really exciting to be back as a head coach where the kids, parents and administration appreciate you.” Summit returns five starters on both offense and defense. Senior Bradley Evans is a leader for the Silver Knights on both sides of the ball as a running back, receiver and defensive back. Standing at 6-foot-1 and 215 pounds, Evans had 25 catches for 563 yards last season while averaging

Summit Country Day running back Bradley Evans makes a cut while toting the ball during practice Thursday, Aug. 13. 22.5 yards a reception. “He’s getting a lot of looks from D-I (colleges), but his focus is academics,” Minor said. “We use Evans a lot.” Offensively, Summit lost most of its production to
graduation following its 4-6 campaign in 2008. Quarterback C.J. Collins and running back Shamar Hester, both 2009 graduates, combined to produce more than 3,000 yards of offense last fall.
Collins rushed for 1,290 yards and threw for 792 yards. Hester rumbled for 1,164 yards on the ground. “We have a lot to replace without those guys around,” Minor said. However, Minor believes the Silver Knights’ offensive line will be quite strong in 2009, he said. “The whole key to our success this year revolves around our offensive line,” Minor said. Four of five players on the offensive line are returning starters including senior tackle A.J. Olding, junior tackle Chris Capell, guard Dane Fajack and junior guard Alex Nourse. Sophomore Nate Goodhart is a first-year starter playing at center.
Ankit Sirvastiva will also make an impact on the offensive line, Minor said. Aside from Evans, offensive standouts for Summit include junior fullback Devonte Hunter and sophomore running back Ledon Laney. Junior kicker Logan Eyer gives the Silver Knights’ special teams a big boost, Minor said. “He takes kicking very seriously and he’s going to help us a lot. He’s been very impressive,” Minor said. Defensively, Evans is joined by a number of talented players including Hunter (lineman), Ben McBride (middle linebacker), Fajack (tackle), Evan Albertson (secondary) and John Landry (lineman). McBride finished with 47 tackles last year with Evans close behind at 39 tackles.

Cincinnati Country Day running back Max Dietz, right, takes a handoff from Lawrence Ervin during a scrimmage Friday, Aug. 14, against Mariemont.
Alex Dietz, a 2009 graduate, last fall. Sophomore Jake Dietz takes over at quarterback for Alex and gives Max yet another sibling delivering the ball. “We think our skill guys are good enough to make us a threat, but Alex was very effective,” Dunn said of shifting to a sophomore Dietz at quarterback rather than a senior. “We hope we can pass a little to keep some balance, but we’ll see how it goes with a sophomore quarterback.” Judging from Alex’s and Max’s successes in 2008, Dunn hopes Jake hits the ground running, he said. Max led CCD with 1,163 yards rushing and 21 touchdowns last fall. He also accounted for 627 yards receiving. Alex threw for almost 1,200 yards and rushed for more than 400 yards as a senior. Senior running back Lawrence Ervin is also a returning starter for the Indians. Ervin scored 36 points for the Indians as a junior. On the offensive line, seniors Matt Lesser and Clint Thomas are the only players returning for Dunn. “We don’t have a lot of size on the line and they are young,” Dunn said. “We will be depending a lot on the young guys on the line.” Defensively, Ervin returns to the Indians’ secondary after tallying 100 tackles including 75 unassisted in 2008.

Cavaliers focused on finishing By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
In terms of records, 7-3 looks a whole lot better than 1-9. But sometimes the difference between the two isn’t all that great. Just ask the 2008 Purcell Marian High School football team, which lost six games by a combined 30 points, including three by four points or fewer. “We have to learn how to finish,” head coach Brian Miller said. “This year the kids are focused on finishing everything they do and getting off to a fast start.” With 17 seniors and nine returning starters, the Cavaliers have high hopes for accomplishing those goals. “Our strength will be our senior leadership,” Miller said. “Last year we only had eight seniors, so having

Meinking Mitchell 17 will go a long way.” Among the key returners are seniors Jimmy Hermann (QB), Pat Meinking (WR), Tim Mitchell (FS), Pat Murphy (OL/DL) and Mike Virge (OL/DL). Junior Tyrone Patel (OL/DL) has also been impressive this preseason. The Cavaliers have several tough games slated for the 2009 schedule, including showdowns with league rivals Badin, McNicholas and Roger Bacon; but to Mitchell, none stands out. “We’ve got to go week to week,” he said. “Every game is important to us. Our most important game is the one that’s coming up.” Miller, however, did admit that he’s happy with the determination and commitment his team has shown this summer.

Bombers look to bounce back By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
MICHAEL E. KEATING/STAFF
Steve Specht hopes to lead the Bombers back to the postseason after missing the playoffs in 2008.
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.” Leading the renaissance will be senior quarterback Luke Massa, who suffered a broken collarbone at Louisville Trinity last September and was lost for the season. Providing protection up front is Matt James (6-8, 280), who is considered one of the top offensive lineman in the nation and is ranked the fourth-best overall player in the 2010 class by Ohio High Magazine. “(Massa and James) bring experience,” Specht said. “They both started on our ‘07 state team, and they understand the expectations of the program.” Other returning senior starters include Nick Weston (DB), Will Carroll (DB) and Nigel Muhammed (DL). St. X also hopes to get production from juniors Daniel Braswell (RB) and Steven Daniels (FB/LB), as well as seniors Jeff Kraemer (WR) and Alex Longi (WR/TE). “We’re still trying to fit the pieces of the puzzle,” Specht said. As has become the custom, the Bombers face a daunting schedule this season; in addition to their regular GCL foes, St. X will square off against Indianapolis Cathedral, Lakewood St. Edward and Cleveland St. Ignatius. With such a tough weekto-week schedule, Specht 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

Moeller eyes GCL, state titles in 2009 mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The 2008 Moeller Crusaders had a lot of questions heading into the first season under new head coach John Rodenberg. The 2009 Crusaders have considerably fewer as Moeller returns a considerable amount of Division-I caliber talent and boasts a strong senior class, making the Crusaders one of the top teams in the city. “We’ve worked awfully hard in the weight room and the seniors have been great leaders in the winter and summer. With all the returning starters, we hope to have a lot of success,” Rodenberg said. The offense should be balanced and will be led by Notre Dame-bound Andrew Hendrix. Hendrix threw for 1,609 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2008. Running backs Richie Dyer and Jeff Aubin combine to provide a talented running game for the Crusaders as the duo led the Moeller ground attack in 2008. The offensive line has a

Key players for Moeller High School this season are, from left, Andrew Hendrix, David Schneider, Ali Kassem and Jeff Tanner.
Galvin Rush pair of strong standouts in Division I collegiate prospects Jeff Tanner and Ali Kassem. Ball State-bound tight end David Schneider should be a big target in the passing game as Schneider led the Crusaders in receiving touchdowns in 2008. Wideout Trent Williford is another receiver with big play capabilities. On defense, the Crusaders will be led by a strong front seven. The defensive line is led by two
Division I collegiate prospects, senior Marcus Rush and junior Jessie Hays. The linebackers for Moeller are led by another Division I collegiate prospect, Nick Galvin. Kendall Walker and Garret Mize are two more big-play linebackers for the Crusaders. Moeller also returns cornerback Ethan McAlpine, who was one of the leaders in interceptions in the GCL in 2008. The schedule will be tough again for Moeller in 2009. “People don’t call us ot play unless they are going to be pretty good,” Rodenberg said. “Our feeling is once we get to the playoffs, we are battle-tested.” Moeller has tough games
against Lakewood St. Edward and Winton Woods as well as a tough GCL slate. Elder is looked at as the other power in the GCL South in 2009, but Rodenberg said fans shouldn’t sleep on St. Xavier. “St. X has a chip on their shoulder and that scares me,” he said. “They aren’t used to struggling like they did last year and will come out guns blazing. Watch out for them.” Rodenberg said the 2009 Crusaders will be bigger, especially in the trenches and that the year of experience with the players has helped everyone get used to his system. “Everyone knows where they fall in and where to go,” he said. “I’ve been real
pleased with how things have worked out.” Rodenberg said the program puts a lot of pressure on itself to contend for a GCL title and a state title and that the Crusaders have their sights set on both in 2009. He also said that any team lives and dies with a senior class and that Moeller’s class of 2009 is a good one. “I really like the senior class,” he said. “They are positive and determined. I’m really pleased with this class and fans are going to see a good football team.”

Community Research enrolling swine flu study for adults Community Research has begun enrolling a clinical research study testing an experimental vaccine to protect against the A/H1N1, or swine flu, virus. The study is being conducted at 4460 Red Bank Expressway in Madisonville. Adults ages 18 and older can participate. “We are very proud to be a part of this critical research,� said Dr. David Mayleben, president. “Being chosen as one of a select group of research sites speaks to the quality of our study volunteers and the track record we have as
a company in studies like these. “This marks the second time in two years we’ve been selected to carry out vaccine studies vital to not only our country’s health and welfare, but the world’s as well.� Designed for generally healthy adults age 18 and older, this study will help direct public health policy from dosage recommendations to immunization schedules in a wide variety of groups including the elderly. The study, and others like them, have been moved
to the regulatory approval fast-track by predictions that the fall of 2009 could see a surge in A/H1N1 infections in the Northern Hemisphere similar to the outbreaks currently in Southern Hemisphere, where it is winter already. That increase, coupled with several other indicators, led the World Health Organization (WHO) to officially list A/H1N1 as a global pandemic on June 11. The United States continues to report the largest number of novel A/H1N1 cases of any country worldwide.
“We will need new people,� said Dr. Antoinette Pragalos, the primary investigator of the study. “This is a very large study and will be enrolling simultaneously around the country. “It will be important that people who may not have considered clinical research in the past find out more about this study to decide is participation is right for them.� Community Research conducts clinical trials on developing medications, dietary supplements, vaccines and compounds for
pharmaceutical and biotech companies from around the world. The company also tests new medical devices and operates an oral care research division which conducts studies for dental
products. Potential volunteers for the A/H1N1 vaccine study can call 721-3868 8 a.m.8 p.m. Monday through Friday or 9 a.m. -1 p.m. Saturday. For information, visit communityresearch.com.

and performer in the Children, Teen and Summer College Theatre and Stagecrafters’ Goldsmith performing arts programs at the Cincinnati JCC. He was a member of Cincinnati Boy Choir and was a Corbett Scholar at SCPA. After graduating from CCM, Goldsmith performed at Playhouse in the Park and he wrote and directed the local parody revue “Grilled Cincinnati” for the Showboat Majestic. “Imagine This” is set in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1942, where a Jewish theatre company performs its version of the Masada story, to draw the parallels between their own situation and those of the Jewish rebels of 70 A.D. Goldsmith’s career as a writer, producer and songwriter for television, film, video and theatre has spanned more than 20 years.
In addition to Goldsmith’s local connection, several of the production’s investors are from Cincinnati. “‘Imagine This’ is a story that we believe must be told,” said local investor group representative Barry Finestone. “In our opinion, the history and hope of the Jewish people have been presented in a sensitive, powerful and universally relevant manner through the book, music and lyrics of ‘Imagine This.’” Following the Aug. 26 screening, there will be a question-and-answer session with the show’s lead producer, Beth Trachtenberg, and Goldsmith. More information about the show is available at www.ImagineThisTheMusical.com. Admission is $10 per person and benefits the JCC and the Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education. Paid reservations are requested by Friday, Aug. 21. For more information or to charge by phone, call the Mayerson JCC on The Jewish Foundation of Cincinnati Campus at 722-7226.

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.

black ankle bracelet she wears as part of her house arrest, admitted Aug. 4 she set the fires. She’s been getting psychiatric counseling. As part of her sentence, Martin also ordered Cullen to continue that counseling. The judge ordered her to stay away from the school and continue on house arrest until he orders otherwise. Cullen was ordered to reimburse authorities for the cost of the fires she set. He ordered her to repay the school $2,210.72, the amount the judge said the insurance company reimbursed the school. She also was ordered to pay for the fire and police investigation, but that figure was not available at the sentencing. Martin told her if she violated her probation he would send her to prison for five years.
