Gas, snacks & a clean dog Newtown business offers facility to wash pooches By Rob Dowdy

For anyone who’s ever needed to give their canine friend a bath, fill up their gas tank and get some snacks in a hurry, the WagOMat has them covered.

He later decided to buy the convenience store next to the park because “hounds and hot dogs don’t go together.” After buying the shop and gas

station, Slattery installed four dogwashing bays and placed pet supplies within the store for shoppers. “We couldn’t find anyone out there who’s doing anything like this,” Slattery said. Despite already reaching unexplored territories, Slattery said he’s not done.

He said he’s planning to expand the WagOMat Web site to allow customers to buy dog products online, as well as kiosks within the store to allow customers to browse products and place orders on the spot. “It allows us to take this concept beyond the (local area),” he said.

Group to honor vets at Newtown picnic By Rob Dowdy rdowdy@communitypress.com

As resident Lynn Burger says, the Village of Newtown Veterans Association isn’t a big group, but it is an active one. The association is hosting “Picnic in the Park” for residents and veterans 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 23, at Moundview Park, 3130 Newtown Road, in Newtown. The event is free to the public, though those attending are asked to bring a covered dish as their

admission fee. There will be door prizes, music, games for adults and children, free food and refreshments for sale, which will benefit the veterans association’s quest to build a memorial wall at Moundview Park. Burger, a member of the group, said all the items being used in the picnic have been donated by local businesses, and all the proceeds will go toward building the memorial wall. He said despite the fundraising aspect of the picnic, he’s just hop-

ing residents have a good time at this “old-fashioned get-together.” “We just want (people) to come out and celebrate,” Burger said. Ken Baril, also a member of the Village of Newtown Veterans Association, said the picnic will both raise money for the veterans wall and raise public awareness about what the village is doing to remodel and renovate Moundview Park. “There are some people who live in Newtown who don’t know what Moundview is,” he said.

What’s going on? What: “Picnic in the Park,” hosted by the Village of Newtown Veterans Association When: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 23 Where: Moundview Park, 3130 Newtown Road There is no charge, but those who plan to attend are asked to bring a covered dish. Refreshments will be sold, with the proceeds benefiting the veterans memorial to be built at Moundview Park.

Preliminary park plans: fishing, camping, disc golf By Lisa Wakeland lwakeland@communitypress.com

The Anderson Township Park District is one step closer to unveiling a devel-

Next meeting

opment plan for Johnson Hills Park. Consultants from Human Nature Inc. presented a preliminary concept for the park, off Bridle and Little Dry Run roads, at last night’s park commissioners meeting. “We wanted to maintain the character of the site and build on the history of the park,� design consultant Gary Wolnitzek said. Johnson Hills Park could have a fishing lake, a tentcamping area, Frisbee golf area, shelters and other amenities that play up the park’s natural features.

Hiking trails would be maintained throughout the 136-acre park. “I like that we have a single plan to choose from,� park commissioner Nadine Gelter said. There was some debate about how much camping space to offer, the size and feasibility of a lake and whether there should be a vehicular access road through the park between Bridle Road and Crooked Stick Court. The large barn that currently houses Bridle Run Stables would be replaced with a shelter that can hold

around 240 people, but park commissioners have not decided if they will tear down the barn or renovate the space. Other discussions included using the Moorman House, on the east side of the park, for a small horse stable operation. Mark Bissinger, vice president of the board of park commissioners, suggested turning the home into a historic farm with a few animals and community vegetable gardens. The home of Marian Johnson, whose husband is the namesake of the park,

will stay on the property. Duffy Beischel, president of the board of park commissioners, suggested using the home’s first floor as a nature education center. “We need to refine on our own before going to the public,� Beischel said of the preliminary plans. Human nature will revise the preliminary design concept and present a new plan at the park district’s September meeting. “We’re still months away from a master plan,� said Ken Kushner, park district executive director . The park district plans to

What amenities?

The Anderson Township Park District is developing plans for Johnson Hills Park, off Little Dry Run and Bridle roads. Here are some ideas for the park: • Frisbee golf • Tent camping area • Fishing lake • Hiking trails • An historic farm or horseback riding operation • Shelters and picnic areas conduct public hearings and open houses for the preliminary Johnson Hills Park plans later this year.

Anderson Twp. bar sued over smoking Gannett News Service State officials on Friday sued an Anderson Township bar and restaurant for a “clear disregard” of Ohio’s smoking ban. Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray and Ohio Department of Health Director Alvin Jackson filed suits in Hamilton and Franklin counties – the first to seek court orders requiring businesses to comply with Ohio’s smoking ban. The suits were brought against O’Neal’s Tavern, 7466 Beechmont Ave. in Anderson Township, and Zeno’s in Franklin County. The suit accuses O’Neal’s, located in the Anderson Towne Center, of

12 violations of the law in the last two years, running up unpaid fines of $21,600. “These establishments have been warned and fined repeatedly over a twoyear period to no avail. “They continue to push the limits and have given us no alternatives but to seek the court’s intervention,” Cordray noted. “It’s a continued flouting of the law and an unwillingness to pay the fines,” Ohio Department of Health spokesman Kristopher Weiss said of the suits. “These were the largest violators that we had.” Calls to O’Neal’s Friday either weren’t answered or rang busy. The Hamilton County suit was filed against the bar and its owner, James Shank. Shank knew about the fines, the suit alleges, because he was warned in writing and fined several times but insisted to the Health Department he would ignore them. “In regard to the alleged ‘smoking violation,’

O’Neal’s will not be paying any fines because of the discriminatory enforcement taking place by the agents of various counties. “Also, with regards to our due process rights, we would like to see the citations issued to the smokers,” Shank wrote in a Jan. 9, 2008, letter to the Hamilton County Board of Health. The Ohio Department of Health filed the suits because that agency is responsible for enforcing Ohio’s Smoke Free Act, which was approved by voters in 2006. It began being enforced in May 2007 and was designed to protect workers and the public from secondhand smoke exposure in public places. Weiss noted that vast majority of businesses comply with the law. The suit notes Shanks was warned in writing of each violation but contested none of the warning letters. The suit asks for a judge to order O’Neal’s to pay the fines and adhere to the law.

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 districts, 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,” Jones said. “I am honored and humbled to have been given the opportunity to represent the people of the 7th Senate District,” 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. 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.

Turpin students bring cheer to Costa Rica By Forrest Sellers

fsellers@communitypress.com

During a recent trip to Costa Rica, Turpin students may have swung through the treetops on a zip line. However, it was a visit to an elementary school in the area that may have left the biggest impression.

Students in the Spanish program at Turpin High School have had an opportunity to go to Costa Rica the last few summers. The trip often includes sightseeing, horseback riding and rafting. However, Spanish instructor John English said a highlight is the “community service compo-

nent.” The students spent a day at a school in Las Nubes. “It’s important our students have personal contact with the kids in Costa Rica,” said English. The Turpin students were treated to a dance demonstration by the youngsters at the elementary school. They then played volley-

ball and soccer. “Sharing time with (the children) is very rewarding,” said English. For some of the Turpin students the one-on-one time with the Las Nubes was very important, he said. For the last five years, the students have visited elementary

schools during the trip. More than 20 students traveled to Costa Rica this year. The trip was led by English and Spanish instructor Sherry Amorocho. English, who lives in Anderson Township, is also chairman of the foreign language department.

Mercer Elementary School students recently collected and donated more than 446 pairs of socks to students at El Hogar, a school for needy children in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. duras, last summer, hosted El Hogar’s director and two teachers in a recent exchange visit. Mercer Elementary School teachers Colleen Phillips-Birdsong, Jennie Remington and Erin English, along with English’s husband, John, a Turpin High School Spanish teacher, had presented five professional development seminars during a trip with parishioners from St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church last July.

The teachers paid their own way to Honduras; the exchange was not sponsored or paid for by the Forest Hills School District. El Hogar’s director, Claudia de Castro, along with teachers Jose Arturo Torres and Jessika Claros Cortes, spent the week working with the teachers at Mercer, as well as visiting Seven Hills School and speaking at several local churches. “When Claudia, Jessika and

Jose Arturo visited Mercer, they made a huge impact on my students,” said English of her thirdgrade class. “When Claudia mentioned that El Hogar was completely out of socks, the children and I hatched up an idea. “Instead of teacher gifts at the end of the year, my class decided to purchase and donate socks. And that’s how we collected over 446 pairs of brand new socks.”

Forest Hills gears up for swine flu By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com

Should the H1N1 virus hit, the Forest Hills School District plans to be ready. “We have been in contact with Hamilton County (Public Health), and we are following their guidelines,� said Chris Wolfer, district nurse. Wolfer said the district has also monitored information provided by the Ohio

Department of Health and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Wolfer also encourages parents and students to be aware of symptoms such as a high fever, cough and fatigue and to take precautions such as regularly washing hands and covering coughs and sneezes.

Megan Hummel Public affairs specialist with Hamilton County Public Health

affairs specialist with Hamilton County Public Health, said H1N1 vaccines are expected to arrive in the fall. She said the agency is working 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 re-emergence of the H1N1 virus. “It’s not necessarily that the illness will be more severe, but it could be more widespread,� she said. For additional information and precautions which can be taken, visit the Hamilton County Public Health Web site at www. hamiltoncountyhealth.org.

The Forest Hills Board of Education may discuss the creation of several new committees at its upcoming meeting. Board President Julie Bissinger said the district is considering forming a facilities committee and a compensation committee. Board member Randy Smith will likely be one of the board members who leads the compensation committee. “We haven’t discussed this yet, but a likely topic will be consideration of

Ever since working as a nanny recent Turpin High School valedictorian Bobby Slater has wanted to help children. He said his experiences with the children left an impression. “(The children) were going through some rough family issues,� he said. “I was ill-equipped to help them, but I really wanted to.� As preparation for what Slater hopes will be a career in child psychiatry, he is participating in a selective

internship at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Slater, 18, is working in the hospital’s Department of Psychiatry. Although his work primarily has consisted of data entry, Slater has had an opportunity to shadow doctors in the hospital. He recently shadowed a surgeon involved in a procedure to help correct a patient’s spine, and he also planned on observing a neurologist. “It’s opened my eyes,� said Slater, who recently graduated from Turpin High School.

“I have gotten to see different facets of the hospital.� His sister, Chelsea, was also an Slater intern at Children’s Hospital. Slater, who is a resident of Anderson Township, will attend the University of Michigan. He said he is continuing a family tradition. Both of his parents attended the University of Michigan, and his sister is starting her senior year there.

Some interesting things I’ve learned along the way

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 2003 astronomers using the Hubble telescope registered a “cosmic hum” emanating from black holes with “a frequency equivalent to a B-flat 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 B-flat …” 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

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.

For the second consecutive year, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra has experienced an increase in attendance at concerts. The 2008-2009 season closed with a sold-out pavilion at Riverbend Music Center for the Aug. 1 Pops concert, completing a year that saw average attendance for CSO subscription concerts at Music Hall increase by 6 percent. Fueling this growth is a 23-percent jump in total single tickets and a twopercent increase in total subscription seats. Overall

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.

As far as the yield, I don’t remember! It depends on the size of the peppers, whether you use quart or pint jars, etc.

Wash canning jars and lids, then put jars in a big pan, covered with water. Bring to a boil and boil 15 minutes. (If your dishwasher is

Brine

Rita Heikenfeld Rita’s kitchen

6 cups clear vinegar, 5 percent acidity 2 cups water 1 â „2 to 2 cups sugar (see note above)* Bring brine to a boil. Let boil gently as you fill jars.

Prepare peppers

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 completes. 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.

Cincinnati doesn’t need to cut back on police Two-tenths of a mile. That is all that separates me from Cincinnati. That is all that separates me from having a voice regarding the budget for the Cincinnati Police and Fire Departments. A little more than 1,000 feet is what divides me from having a total blast mocking Cincinnati City Council and pleading with the mayor of the wonderful Queen City to stop thinking trolley and think jobs and safety. Two-tenths of a mile makes me a member of the “Township,” Anderson to be exact, and not a Cincinnatian as I had been for 37 years. I very much miss city politics. My first campaigning was doorto-door for Tom Luken. I was 4 years old, helping my mother get votes for the senior Luken. The ladies of Bond Hill “marched” on City Hall back in the day to demand a new pool. I

remember sitting in the large room when council convened. The ladies won the day. Bobbie Stern had me at T.M. Davis “hello” and Community David Mann Press guest came to my school, at columnist high my invitation, to tell us all how city government worked. I made an appointment to see Mayor Charles Luken demanding, on behalf of a group of church ladies, that the race factor in this city in regards to community living and stopping the boycott be reviewed. He was not moved by me. The two-tenths of a mile does not, however, remove me from caring for and wanting peace for

What do you expect from the Bengals this season?

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

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 aflying. I still stay in touch with several school friends from fourth-grade.” Duke “I remember teachers and other staff who encouraged me, challenged me and helped equip me with tools for life. I remember a few teachers and staff who contributed very little to my education. I learned life lessons from both groups.” G.G. “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.

Ms. Hooten, who last week lost her son, Michael, to gunners in South Cumminsville. How can you even think of reduction of police when a remarkable young man, on a city street, any street, is gunned down? You have no right to do so, Mr. City Manager and City Council. Please look that mother in the face and any other who has buried their child due to guns running rampant on the street and let them know how much their child’s life is worth. Is it the amount of your budget cut? A child, young man who was doing all those things we tell children that will allow them to rise above their circumstances, move up and out into a world with thoughts, dreams and vision; moreover, that their life counts. Out of jealousy, ignorance and hate, someone decided he didn’t deserve those things. They were

Farmers markets make for simple summer healthy eating Crisp green beans. Sweet corn on the cob. Juicy red tomatoes. Nothing says summer quite like local produce. Visiting your neighborhood farmers market is a delicious decision to improve your health by including more fruits and vegetables into your daily life. Healthy eating habits are vital to overall health and wellness. In Hamilton County, 91 percent of adults do not consume the recommended five fruits and vegetables per day for six or more days a week. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, a healthy eating plan: • emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fat-free or low-fat dairy. • includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs and nuts. • is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium) and added sugars. • stays within your daily calorie needs.

Research shows that not only does Hamilton County have a high rate for some chronic diseases, but the communities of Tim Ingram L i n c o l n Community Heights, Lockland and WoodPress guest lawn are disprocolumnist p o r t i o n a t e l y affected. Hamilton County Public Health is committed to helping reduce these health disparities with the “Get Healthy Hamilton County!” project, funded by a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The project focuses on training local communities to create policy and environmental changes that address lifestyle behaviors of healthy eating, increased physical activity and decreased tobacco use to improve the health of resi-

dents in these communities. A simple way residents can improve their health is to visit their local farmers markets this summer. These farmers markets offers various kinds of fruits and vegetables that can have a positive impact on health. Fruits and vegetables are naturally low in calories and fat, and provide your body with essential vitamins and minerals, fiber and other nutrients. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, those who eat more generous amounts of fruits and vegetables – as part of a healthy diet – are likely to have a reduced risk of chronic diseases such as stroke, diabetes, heart disease and some types of cancer. Next time you are planning meals, stop by your local farmers market for some fresh produce to enjoy. To find a market, visit www.cincinnatifarmersmarkets.org. Tim Ingram is the Hamilton County Health commissioner.

Redskins gear up for shift to D-I By Anthony Amorini

On the team

aamorini@communitypress.com

The Anderson Redskins jumped to Division I during the offseason and with the move comes a more difficult road to the football playoffs. A short Giesting stint in Division II brought with it unprecedented success for the Redskins. Anderson won a Division II state championship in 2007 while finishing at 13-2. In 2008, the Redskins advanced to the Division II state finals but lost to finish at 12-3. But now Anderson will battle the likes of St. Xavier, Moeller and Colerain for a spot in the Division I playoffs. “I think we can compete but (the Division I) playoffs are brutal for anyone that gets in,” third-year Anderson head coach Jeff Giesting said. “There are some tremendous Division I

Both players were Division II All State last season. Norwell, an offensive lineman, is already committed to the prestigious Ohio State University program. During the 2008 regular season, Slater rushed for 1,306 yards on 146 carries including 21 touchdowns. Slater then rushed for 737 yards on 122 carries including seven touchdowns during the Redskins’ playoff run to the state finals. Though Slater and Norwell return, Anderson is faced with the task of replacing two-year starting quarterback Daniel Rod, who graduated in 2009.

Men’s registration

The Anderson Men’s Senior Baseball League is accepting sign-ups for the summer season for its 18 and over league. Registration will be conducted from 1-2:30 p.m., Aug. 23, at Riverside Park in Anderson Township. The fall league will start Aug. 30. Cost for returning players is $120. New players are $175, which includes an MLB shirt and hat. Call John Gruenberg at 254-8221 or e-mail johngruenberg@fuse.net. The Web site for the league is www.eteamz.com/anderson_msbl.

spots on defense,” Klonne said. “The team has a good attitude and they have some confidence.” The team will be led by junior quarterbacks/wide receivers Matt Staubach and Ryan Curran. Staubach threw for 814 yards and eight touchdowns in 2008. Ryan Haynes is one of the top returning running backs as Haynes put up 232 rushing yards in 2008, third-best on the team. Fullback/linebacker Pat Fitzgerald and tight end/linebacker Alex Hay are two more playmakers for McNick. The Rockets will run a wing-T offense with some option included and will play a 4-3 and a 4-4 defense. McNick has a tough schedule and will need to set a positive tone early. The Rockets have tough games against Indian Hill, Turpin and Loveland to start the season. “If we can do well for those three games it would set the tone for the rest of the season,” Klonne said. “Our schedule is really tough and most teams lose at least twice in league play so you try to take care of business somewhere else. It’s a tough schedule.” Klonne said the senior leadership is very important to the team, especially because every team has to deal with adversity at some point during the season. “Whether someone gets

hurt or you lose a few tough games, adversity strikes somewhere and how you react will determine what kind of season you will have,” he said. With more experience returning and with some bigger bodies on the line, the Rockets should be an improved squad in 2009. “We’re going to play hard and we’ll be a better football team just because of our leadership and our senior and junior classes are better,” he said.

Dunham rushes toward records By Anthony Amorini

aamorini@communitypress.com

You won’t see senior Jeff Groene’s name next to any Turpin Spartan rushing records. But the 240-pound lead blocking fullback can certainly be credited with providing plenty of open field for fellow senior Wayne Dunham. And Dunham, a 5-foot-7 shifty running back, is on the precipice of etching his

name all over the Spartans’ recordbook. B o t h players are third-year starters as Stoll they begin their final act this fall. “Wayne is obviously a big one,” Turpin head coach Rob Stoll said when asked about the Spartans’ top returning starters. “But all three years he’s had a huge

blocking fullback in Groene. “When you add in the athleticism of (junior quarterback) Eric Martin then we have a very talented backfield,” Stoll added. During the Spartans’ 9-2 campaign in 2008, Dunham rushed for 1,221 yards including 15 touchdowns. The production brought Dunham’s career totals to 2,679 yards rushing with 28 touchdowns on the ground. The Spartans’ record for career rushing yards stands at 3,267 yards with the career rushing touchdown total at 33. Dennis Rusche, a 1992 Turpin graduate, owns both career records. But individual accolades are certainly not the focus for the perennial Division II playoff team. Nine starters return on offense for Turpin. A number of players return on the offensive line including Chris Kanoza (center), Chris Cooper (left guard), John Adkerson (right guard) and Travis Tidball (tackle). Nate Lieberman will also contribute for the offensive line as the only Spartan slated to play both ways. Lieberman is a returning starter on the defensive side of the ball as a lineman. “They benefit a lot from extra practice time,” Stoll said of the positives of playing only one way aside from energy conservation. Turpin also returns its entire receiving core including Shade Whitfield, Mike Millikin and Will Stocker. “They were all young

Bombers look to bounce back By Tony Meale

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

Walnut Hills aims for winning season By Mark Chalifoux

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

MARK CHALIFOUX/STAFF

Ricky Foster led Walnut Hills in rushing touchdowns in 2008 and will be a key factor in the backfield again in 2009.

The Walnut Hills High School football team is going in the right direction and that means playing for a winning record in 2009. “The honeymoon is over. Breaking the losing streak is a thing of the past and we have h i g h e r expectations now,” second-year head coach G e o r g e Bucher Kontsis said. “The program is on the rise, thanks to an outstanding coaching staff and players that Crawley take things seriously and work hard.” If the Eagles are going to finish with a Roley 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,”

Stewart will have some help in the backfield in the form of returning running back Ricky Foster. 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. “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 Talawanda 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.

Withrow eyes a return to winning ways By Mark Chalifoux

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

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 46 record in 2008. “Those guys had never been part of a losLee ing team until last y e a r , ” returning head coach Doc Gamble said. “We aren’t happy having an Woods average season, we want to be great.” Gamble, who coached at Fairfield in 2008, said losing isn’t Gamble fun for anyone. “I experienced my first losing season as a head coach last year and losing is not fun at all,” he said.

Aug. 28 @ Edgewood Sept. 4 @ Winton Woods Sept. 11 Highlands Sept. 18 Taft Sept. 25 @ Hughes Center Oct. 2 Woodward Oct. 10 @ Shroder Oct. 17 @ Western Hills Oct. 23 Holmes Oct. 30 Aiken All games at 7:30 p.m. 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. The defense will be good in 2009, led by linebacker Keilan Woods. Tony Berry is another longtime starter returning and Brandon Mitchell is a guy to watch on the line. Tim Welch is the team’s strong safety and Anthony White is another player to watch. Tyrome Nelson and Morris Jones have been two pleasant surprises at corner back. On offense, the team

returns starting quarterback Ryan Banks and receiver Tyrone Howell. Banks threw for more than 1,800 yards in 2008. Center Bruce Lee should be a standout on the offensive line and Demontre Thorpe is another wideout to watch. Gamble said the most important thing is getting guys to adjust to his way of doing things again and to take care of the little things. “What’s old is new again and once we take care of the little things, the big things will take care of themselves,” he said. Withrow has a tough schedule that includes games at Edgewood and Winton Woods. Gamble said the Tigers will be a competitive team in 2009 and will be a team that never gives up. “We’re going to compete all the way through and play hard until the clock says zero,” he said. “Our guys will be organized and focused and we’ll give our fans something to cheer about again. We’re going to have fun and we’re going to get back to our winning ways and instill some pride back into Withrow football.”

Linebacker Keilan Woods will be one of the defensive standouts for the Withrow Tigers in 2009.

Cougars ready for first year in MVC By Mark Chalifoux

ANDERSON • 7245 Beechmont Avenue

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 you don’t want to go into any varsity season with only seven seniors,” he said. The seven seniors have been providing good leadership, Sheehan said. “They have been working very hard and have been good leaders but we need to 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,

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

Or guests can drive the few miles to outside attractions & other dramatic scenery in the Hocking Hills. 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.
