Students at two Finneytown schools will have new principals greeting them when they return to class. Stephen Zinser is back at St. Vivian, this time in the principal’s office. Zinser is replacing Jean Margello, who retired last school year. He started at St. Vivian in 1957 as a second-grader and is a 1969 Roger Bacon High School graduate. He’s started his 37-year education career in the Winton Woods district as a teacher and assistant principal. Zinser was principal at St. Vincent Ferrer in Kenwood before coming to St. Vivian. “When I heard Jean was retiring, I knew immediately I wanted to come home,” he said. Along with Zinser, St. Vivian has two other new staff members, Amy Kuenneke, assistant secretary; and Melinda Maier, technical coordinator. Down the street at John Paul II School, Leanora Roach is preparing for her first year as principal. The Greenhills native comes from St. Bernard’s in Taylor Creek, replacing Sharon Willmes who moved to St. Teresa in Price Hill. Roach began her career teaching at Our Lady of the Rosary. “I was a student there and went back to teach,” she said. Like Zinser, Roach said she’s excited about her assignment and is anxious to get to know her students and parents. She’ll be joined in the school office by Teri Mauntel as assistant principal. Mauntel is replacing Janie Acra who took Roach’s post at St. Bernard’s. Mauntel has been a teacher at John Paul II for the past six years and will continue teaching parttime along with her new administrative duties. It will be the last year for North College Hill City School District students in their current buildings. The district is on schedule to open

Winton Woods City Schools is putting a 10-year emergency operating levy on the November ballot, after repeatedly failing to pass a continuing levy. The Winton Woods City Schools Board of Education voted to approve placing a 10-year emergency operating levy on the ballot Nov. 3 during its meeting Aug. 11. The levy will raise $4.2 million annually, and will cost the owner of a $100,000 home about

$234 per year. Superintendent Camille Nasbe said the district will be forced to cut high school extracurricular activities, sports and the Nasbe equivalent of 28 full-time teaching positions if the November levy doesn’t pass. “We want (voters) to understand this is an emergency,” Nasbe said. Nasbe said parent groups are
reaching out to district residents, and the district is contacting local officials in an attempt to get the word out. She said the massive cuts that have already been handed down as well as the cuts looming if the levy fails could mean a sharp drop in property values and a potentially “devastating” effect on communities in the district. “Schools are an integral part of the community,” Nasbe said. The most recent levy failed by 112 votes, with only about 19 percent of voters in the district coming out to vote.
Levy facts
Winton Woods City Schools is placing a $4.2 million, 10-year emergency operating levy on the Nov. 3 ballot. The levy will cost the owner of a $100,000 home $234.51 per year or $19.54 per month. If passed, it would have to be voted on for renewal in 10 years. The district placed a levy on the ballot for the August special election, and it was defeated by a margin of 112 votes.

Schools plan for flu virus By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com
Common sense and precaution are the prescription area schools will be using to deal with the potential for students contracting the H1N1 virus. “Swine flu is a concern to everyone,� said Gary Gellert, North College Hill City School District superintendent. “As school re-opens, I want to make sure that everyone is doing everything possible to ensure that our children our safe.� He said the maintenance staff will be disinfecting buildings on a daily basis to reduce germs. “Our staff will also be
sending students home who have flu symptoms,� he said. Gellert said parents will be reminded to teach their children how to cough and wash hands to prevent the spread of germs. The Finneytown Local School District is keeping in touch with the Hamilton County Public Health Department for updates about the virus, according to Shawn Maus, district communications coordinator. “We have been tracking all out of area travel, such as field trips and sports events, to prepare for any possibility of virus transmission,� Maus said. “Teachers will be given information by building
principals regarding the potential for school closure and communicate class work accordingly. “Finneytown has one school nurse who has communicated with staff via email and verbal communications about the virus. “Hand washing has really been encouraged and posters have been increasingly evident around buildings,� Maus said. “Again, we will follow directives issued by the local health department and do what is necessary to attempt to contain any virus transmission.� Thomas Luebbe, La Salle High School principal, said his staff “will monitor recommendations received from the Centers for Disease Control, and state and local public health officials concerning ways to appropriately respond to any flu

More info Hamilton County Health Department has plans if a H1N1 flu hits the area – See story, A4 virus during the 2009-2010 school year, including the H1N1 influenza.� “Our present school response plan, based upon current flu conditions, includes telling students and employees who develop flulike illness that they should stay home for at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever or signs of a fever, without the use of fever-reducing medicines. “They should stay home even if they are using antiviral drugs. Students, who while at school appear to have flulike illness, will be separated from others and wear a surgical mask until they can be sent home. “Students and staff will be reminded of basic good hand hygiene and our school custodial staff will continue to routinely clean areas that students and staff touch often. “As the school year progresses, La Salle will continue to watch recommendations from the CDC and state and local public health officials to see if an increased

McAuley High School principal Chris Pastura says his school is brainstorming ways to continue meaningful education should the area see a worse-case scenario with mandated closings. “We are taking a hope for the best, prepare for the worst position,� he said. “Our school nurse, Peggy Hock, has been to training with the Cincinnati Public Schools and will be emphasizing prevention and sur-
veillance to make sure we know if our students are ill,� he said. Pastura said McAuley’s curriculum, the use of tablet computers and posting assignments on blackboard could allow teaching and learning to continue even if schools were closed. “We were discussing whether it would be possible to run a Skype classroom,� he said. Skype is an Internet application that allows users to make voice calls and do teleconferencing over the Internet. “In a worst-case scenario, we believe our students and teachers would still be able to communicate,� he said.

volunteers, said Cynthia Eghbalnia, CPS environmental health and safety coordinator. CPS, she added, will cooperate if the health department wants to use schools as vaccination sites. Hummel said the county is preparing for two situations. If a vaccination becomes available for all, the county would open points of dispensing. “It would be like flu clinics throughout the county,� she said. The other situation is if there is limited supply of vaccination, in which case
the focus would be on specific group most susceptible to the flu: According to the Centers for Disease Control, the key populations include pregnant women, people who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age, health care and emergency medical services personnel, persons between the ages of 6 months and 24 years old, and people ages of 25 through 64 years of age who are at higher risk for novel H1N1 because of chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems.
There are everyday precautions you can take for H1N1 or any other flu: • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. • Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.* • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way. • Try to avoid close contact with sick people. • If you are sick with flulike illness, CDC recom-
mends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.) Keep away from others as much as possible. This is to keep from making others sick. • While sick, limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.

Township planning neighborhood meetings By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com

Forest Park prides itself on being a city that makes recycling a priority. According to the recent curbside recycling participation survey, most residents agree. The survey, conducted by Forest Park Environmen-
tal Awareness Director Wright Gwyn, notes that 56 percent of residents are recycling in the city, which is a slight increase over the 2007 survey results that show 52 percent of residents recycling. “Everything seems to be headed in the right direction,� Gwyn said. He said the survey is
conducted every couple years. Gwyn does it himself, by driving through the city, marking off residences placing recycling bins on the curb during each day waste is collected. He then breaks the information down by street and provides the information to residents on the city’s Web site.

Pioneer walk
Bev Miller, a fourth-grade teacher at Jane Hoop Elementary, led her class and two others on a pioneer walk to understand the hardships of living in pioneer days. The twomile walk through Mount Healthy ended at the home of Jenni Moody, principal of Greener Elementary. Moody’s husband, Dan, gave students a tour and history of the home, which was part of the Underground Railroad. Miller used thrift store materials to make aprons and scarves for the girls, and made bundles for the students to carry their lunches.

The next time you complain that there is nothing on, remember that you can always watch the birth of the universe. Bill Bryson “A Short History of Nearly Everything”
2) “The music of the spheres,” the Pythagorean metaphor that has inspired great composers throughout the ages, is no figment of human imagination. As music critic John Rockwell commented, “Who knew? All those philosophers and scientists and theoreticians who believed in the ancient Music of the Spheres were
on to something. There is such a music, and it’s the note B-flat.” Rockwell refers to the fact that in 2003 astronomers using the Hubble telescope registered a “cosmic hum” emanating from black holes with “a frequency equivalent to a Bflat which in their instruments calculated to be 57 tones below middle C.” Among musicologists,

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

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 pint jars, etc.

pan, covered with water. Bring to a boil and boil 15 minutes. (If your dishwasher is hot enough, use that to sterilize the jars). Keep in hot water until you’re ready to fill.
Brine
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.
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.

Cemeteries here are run professionally
With recent reports coming out of Chicago regarding alleged grave desecration by cemetery employees, it is perhaps timely to assure Cincinnati area residents that loved ones who have been entrusted to local cemeteries are resting peacefully, securely and undisturbed. The ritual of burial, or final disposition, of a human body really is a sacred responsibility not to be taken lightly. We quite naturally expect and trust death care providers – funeral directors and cemetery operators – to adhere to a certain moral code. When that trust is violated, as it apparently was in Chicago, we are justifiably appalled. In a marked contrast to the Chicago situation, most Cincinnati cemeteries are managed by com-
petent, experienced and ethical professionals. At Arlington Memorial Gardens for example, Senior Vice President Bob Hunter, a knowledgeable Arlington veteran of 30-plus years, manages the grounds and operations department. During that time, he and his predecessors have implemented numerous measures, including ongoing training, which insure that all burials will be handled with respect and dignity. However, professionalism is not limited to Arlington; obviously, Spring Grove comes to mind, but that is just one example. In fact, the vast majority of local cemeteries are well managed, professional and beyond reproach. Furthermore, Arlington and most other Cincinnati (and Ohio) ceme-
teries are not-for-profit organizations. Given that it appears that profit and greed were motives in the Chicago scandal, it is unlikely that we could experience anything similar here in Cincinnati. But allow me to point out the obvious: unlikely and impossible are not the same thing. Therefore, I would like to offer some practical considerations that will help lead you away from troubled cemeteries: • Pre-Plan/Pre-Purchase. In addition to saving money, you’ll have the time to act and behave like a consumer and not a grieving survivor. Waiting until a death occurs is a formula for making a hasty and unwise decision. • Tour the grounds. Are they well maintained? Shabby, un-
groomed grounds equal a red flag. • Visit the office or administrative area. Is the staff professional and knowledgeable? If you ask questions that can’t be answered – it’s a red flag. • Are there printed materials? Does a web site exist? If so, it demonstrates at least a certain level of professionalism and legitimacy. If not, beware. • Utilize resources such as the Better Business Bureau. A minor complaint or two over a few years might be normal – no organization is perfect. More than that – beware. If there are unresolved complaints, be very wary. Also, contact the state of Ohio. All cemeteries are required to register. Not-for-profit cemeteries are required to set-aside funds for future care. Check to insure that
such funds exist. • Discuss cemeteries with your family, Dan friends and Applegate neighbors. Often, they’ll Community provide unique Press guest insights. columnist • Find out whether or not the cemetery is locally owned or controlled. A local Board of Trustees governs most local cemeteries. While local control does not guarantee perfection, it generally results in a higher degree of accountability and satisfaction and oversight. Dan Applegate is president of Arlington Memorial Gardens in Springfield Township.
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 regularly.
Get vaccinated
Vaccines are the most powerful public health tool for control of flu 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 Tim Ingram include: • Pregnant Community women Press guest • People who columnist 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 conditions.
Parents
• Review proper hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette with your children now – don’t wait until they get sick. • Be prepared in case you get sick and need to stay home for a week or so; a supply of over-thecounter medicines, alcohol-based hand rubs, tissues and other related items could be useful and help avoid the need to make trips out in public while you are sick and contagious. • Make plans for emergency child care in case your child is ill and unable to attend school.
Businesses
• Discuss leniency for sick days to accommodate parents that may need to stay home with sick children. • Review business continuity plans and think about what your organization will do if there are many employees out sick.
Churches
• Encourage members to cover their coughs and sneezes appropriately. • Hang up informational posters or distribute educational flyers. Tim Ingram is the commissioner of Hamilton County Public Health.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question
What are your favorite and least favorite memories from your school days? “Graduation!”
N.P.
“I loved shopping for that ‘First Day of School’ outfit. I disliked though the idea that I would have to give up my daily trips to the Westwood-Cheviot YMCA pool.” C.A.S. “The best part will always be all the lifelong friends I made from school. The worst part has to be
dealing with the nuns . I still have nightmares.” J.M. “The most notable and happy time was when the 1937 flood caused schools to be closed and we were out of school for two whole weeks. Saddest time had to be when president Roosevelt declared war and we knew a lot of our brothers were going to have to go in service.” L.S. “My favorite would probably be the senior trip and my least favorite would be some of the homework assignments.”

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 grand jury proceedings or if necessary to Judge Brad ensure a fair Greenberg trial.

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.

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

The expectations for the Winton Woods High School football team are always high. Winning a n o t h e r l e a g u e championship and making a return trip to Everhart the playoffs are the two goals for the 2009 Warriors. “We have good players at our skill positions on offense and I’ve been very impressed with our linebackers on defense,” said head coach Troy Everhart. The list of playmakers for the Warriors starts in the backfield with two back-toback 1,000 yard rushers Dominique Brown and Jeremiah Goins. Goins had 26 rushing touchdowns in 2008 and Brown had 1,300 rushing yards as quarterback. The duo will be the focus of most opposing

If defenses invest all of their resources in stopping the run game, the Warriors can look to playmaking receiver Juan Glover. The fast wideout has a scholar-
ship offer from Louisville and will help keep defenses honest in 2009. “It’s a nice problem to have,” Everhart said. “If teams try to stop us in one area we have another option and when you have an experienced quarterback, it
makes life a lot easier.” On defense, the Warriors will have to replace some strong graduating seniors but safety Avery Cunningham is back in the mix after missing most of 2008 due to injury. “We have some new
players but our defense could be better this year than it was last year,” Everhart said. The Warriors have a tough schedule, including an opening game against Moeller. Still, Everhart expects his team to compete for another league title – Winton Woods has won three FAVC championships in the last five years – and return to the playoffs for the fifth consecutive season. “The kids will play hard, hit hard and will be fundamentally sound,” he said. “Eventually, talent takes over and we have some talent. We’re very excited about getting out there and seeing what this group has.”

“I’m cautiously optimistic,” he Hartley said. The Wildcats will have a lot of new faces this year, as they return just two twoway starters – senior Maurice Burns (WR/FS) and junior Donovan Clark (OL/DL) – from a team that went 4-6 in 2008. “We know we have to focus on teamwork and have a positive attitude as we go through everything,” Hartley said. He hopes that Clark, who has received interest from Michigan State, can once again anchor both lines this season. “He’s a legit D-I prospect,” Hartley said.

Finneytown High School senior quarterback Matt Blauser, left, and junior lineman Donovan Clark, right, will lead the Wildcats on the field this season. Tylor Sims, who is being pursued by the University of Connecticut. “Like most of the guys, he’s inexperienced, but he can do some good things; he’s naturally strong and quick,” Hartley said. “We hope to run the ball and rely on him a lot.” Senior Matt Blauser, meanwhile, will assume the
reigns at quarterback; last year he completed nearly 46 percent of his passes and threw for 537 yards. The key to Finneytown’s success will be its ability to take care of the ball and keep the chains moving. “Ball control will be big,” Hartley said. “Turnovers and three-and-outs will kill us.”
Hartley isn’t shooting for a particular number of wins this season; he simply wants his players to gain experience and see what happens. “I thought last year we could go 7-3 or 8-2, but the team camaraderie wasn’t great, and that got in the way of winning,” he said. The Wildcats have several tough games this year, including their typical trio against Northwest, Wyoming and Indian Hill. “We could get killed or we could win,” Hartley said. “You never know how good a team can be when they have a good attitude. The guys are working together.”
New coach brings new thoughts to Owls By Katie Hull
khull@communitypress.com
Six new coaches, six returning starters and a new mentality are key ingredients for the Mount Healthy High School football team as they prepare for the upcoming season. In their 2008 regular season, the Crouch Fighting Owls struggled until the end and finished 4-6, but head coach Arvie Crouch has plans to make some changes. “Their great attitude is going to be a good strength for us,” said Crouch. “We’ve really worked hard on changing the mentality of just expecting to lose.” Crouch, who is approaching his first season as head coach at Mount Healthy, was an assistant coach at Hamilton High School for 16 years. “I wanted to be head coach and the opportunity at Mount Healthy was just perfect for me,” he said. “My kind of kids, I loved the coach, the place was awesome and the people were awesome.”

Brown (QB/C), Mark Cornist (S/RB), Allen Carter (LB) and junior Denzel Larkin (QB/FS) will be a few key players for a successful turnaround for the Division II team. “They like to play hard and they’re a hardworking team,” said Crouch. “They’re very coachable.” Crouch is hoping to run the ball rather than pass on offense, but this will eventually be predicted by the defensive line. “I think our defensive line is going to be pretty strong and our wide receiving corner is going to be pretty strong,” he said. Coaches Chad Murphy, Jeremy Rogers, Luke Day, Olajuwon Butler and Greg Pabon are also new to the Mount Healthy High School football team coaching staff this year. “Our goal is just to compete every single game in and out,” said Crouch. “Just to come out and play hard.”

ply. “I really like the character of this team. Win, lose or draw, I want to go to battle with these kids.” Grippa’s optimism is bolstered by the fact that seven starters return on offense. On the line, senior guards Tim Keller and Jake Keller return for the Lancers though the boys are not related. At the skill posit i o n s , returning starters include junior receiver M a t t Woeste, junGrippa ior quarterback Drew Kummer, junior slot back Jimmy Grippa, senior running back Zach Abbatiello and junior running back Matt Farrell. Kummer threw for 319 yards and two touchdowns while completing 20 of 35 passes in 2008. Abbatiello rushed for 167 yards on 28 carries and scored two touchdowns on the ground. Farrell rushed for 118 yards while toting the ball 25 times. Senior Jake Kendall returns to the offensive line after starting in a handful of games in 2008.

Trojans hope to erase sour memory tmeale@communitypress.com
In many respects, the North College Hill High School football team had an impressive campaign in 2008. The Trojans went 73 in the regBaarendse ular season, finished second in the Miami Valley Conference and held opponents to nine points or fewer five times, including three shutouts. All that data, however, just make the 42-0 bludgeoning the Trojans suffered against Coldwater in the first round of the playoffs all the more perplexing. This year, the Trojans – and their 11 returning starters – hope to replace that bad memory with good ones. Leading the effort will be junior quarterback Dakota Dartis, who threw for 814 yards last season and rushed for 514 more. His main targets at wideout will be senior Dameon Garrett and junior Jelan Render. On the ground, the Trojans will employ a two-

It won’t be easy, however, to replace Everett Horne, a University of Cincinnati recruit who last season combined for 1,980 yards, including 1,749 rushing yards on 147 carries – an average of 11.9 yards per attempt. North College Hill will also be a bit inexperienced on the offensive line, as junior Darnell Williams and sophomore Savon McFarland are the lone returning starters. But the Trojans hope that sophomore newcomers Anthony Griffin and Glenn James can provide stability up front. Defensively, North College Hill figures to be exceptionally strong. Senior Lucien Kidd, who led the team with 101 tackles last year, is on pace to break the school’s all-time tackles record. The all-time record of 419 is held by Ray Meeker, who graduated in 1999. The Trojans also return junior Vincent Edwards, who finished second on the team in tackles last season with 60, and senior Angelo Pruitt, who led the team in sacks with 14. “We have several key players returning, and the team has been working hard all summer,” head coach Bruce Baarendse said. “We’re expecting a big season.”

Spartans small in numbers, big in goals
By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
Five boys made the difference. Due to enrollment changes regulated by the Ohio High School Athletic Association, the Roger Bacon High School football team has jumped from Division IV to Division III, making the Spartans one of the smallest Division-III schools in the state. To qualify for Division IV, schools must have an enrollment of no more than 252 boys in the top three grades; Roger Bacon has 257. “We were over the limit by five kids,” head coach Kevin Huxel said. “But I don’t think it made a difference to our guys. They just want to go out and play hard.” The Spartans return just seven starters from last year’s 4-6 team, but what they lack in quantity they make up for with quality. Leading Roger Bacon will be a pair of University
of Cincinnati recruits, seniors Solomon Te n t m a n (RB/LB), who had a team-high seven sacks Huxel last year, and Jorian H u d s o n (RB/WR/ QB/DB), who averaged 5.4 yards per carry and Fletcher 11.1 yards per reception in 2008. “We’re expecting big things from them,” Huxel said. “We need them to lead our offense and defense.” Other Spartans expected to make an impact are seniors Drake Fletcher (LB), Jake Rose (WR), Ed Spaeth (OL), Josh Ungerbuehler (QB/DB), Matt Westerfeld (DE) and Vegas White (WR). “We’ve got eight seniors who are good football players and even better kids,” Huxel said. “They do a

Falcons set to take next step By Tony Meale

For a team that returns 11 starters, the Aiken High School football team is still remarkably young. The top returners for the Falcons include senior Deante Alexander (OL), junior Anthony Taper (QB) and sophomores Clarence Carter (RB), Marcus Knox

(WR) Courtney Cole (OL), Dante D a w s o n (OL) and Y o s h u a Bradley (OL). Green The Falcons endured some growing pains in 2008, posting a 37 record. In one three-week stretch, they blew a 14point lead to Lockland and lost back-to-back games to Hughes and Taft in overtime. “Our record could have easily been turned around,” head coach Troy Green said. Green won’t let youth be an excuse if his team doesn’t perform well this season. “I expect big things this year,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of pretty good athletes.” Three of those athletes are junior playmakers Antwaun Rozier (MLB), Anthony Dobbs (FS) and Manny Nelson (DE).
TONY MEALE/STAFF
Seven standouts lead a young Aiken High School football team this season. In back, from left: Antwaun Rozier, Marcus Knox, Anthony Taper and Anthony Dodds. In front, from left: Brandon Nelson, Deante Alexander and Eric Rucker. “(Rozier) has over 200 tackles for his career,” Green said. “He’s all over the place. He’s a tackling machine.” The Falcons hope to win a league title for the first time since 1988. “The important thing now is to get the kids to believe in what we’re trying to do; we need commitment from them to realize their potential,” Green said. “We have some tremendous athletes. It’s just a matter of making them good football players.”

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.

Football preview
Spartans small in numbers, big in goals By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
Five boys made the difference. Due to enrollment changes regulated by the Ohio High School Athletic Association, the Roger Bacon High School football team has jumped from Division IV to Division III, making the Spartans one of the smallest Division-III schools in the state. To qualify for Division IV, schools must have an enrollment of no more than 252 boys in the top three grades; Roger Bacon has 257. “We were over the limit by five kids,” head coach Kevin Huxel said. “But I don’t think it made a difference to our guys. They just want to go out and play hard.” The Spartans return just seven starters from last year’s 4-6 team, but what they lack in quantity they make up for with quality. Leading Roger Bacon will be a pair of University
of Cincinnati recruits, seniors Solomon Te n t m a n (RB/LB), who had a team-high seven sacks Huxel last year, and Jorian H u d s o n (RB/WR/ QB/DB), who averaged 5.4 yards per carry and Fletcher 11.1 yards per reception in 2008. “We’re expecting big things from them,” Huxel said. “We need them to lead our offense and defense.” Other Spartans expected to make an impact are seniors Drake Fletcher (LB), Jake Rose (WR), Ed Spaeth (OL), Josh Ungerbuehler (QB/DB), Matt Westerfeld (DE) and Vegas White (WR). “We’ve got eight seniors who are good football players and even better kids,” Huxel said. “They do a

Falcons set to take next step By Tony Meale

(WR) Courtney Cole (OL), Dante D a w s o n (OL) and Y o s h u a Bradley (OL). Green The Falcons endured some growing pains in 2008, posting a 37 record. In one three-week stretch, they blew a 14point lead to Lockland and lost back-to-back games to Hughes and Taft in overtime. “Our record could have easily been turned around,” head coach Troy Green said. Green won’t let youth be an excuse if his team doesn’t perform well this season. “I expect big things this year,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of pretty good athletes.” Three of those athletes are junior playmakers Antwaun Rozier (MLB), Anthony Dobbs (FS) and Manny Nelson (DE).
TONY MEALE/STAFF
Seven standouts lead a young Aiken High School football team this season. In back, from left: Antwaun Rozier, Marcus Knox, Anthony Taper and Anthony Dodds. In front, from left: Brandon Nelson, Deante Alexander and Eric Rucker. “(Rozier) has over 200 tackles for his career,” Green said. “He’s all over the place. He’s a tackling machine.” The Falcons hope to win a league title for the first time since 1988. “The important thing now is to get the kids to believe in what we’re trying to do; we need commitment from them to realize their potential,” Green said. “We have some tremendous athletes. It’s just a matter of making them good football players.”
