Mt. Healthy places levy on ballot By Jennie Key

jkey@communitypress.com

Officials in the Mount Healthy City School District will try to convince voters the levy voted down in August should be passed in November. The Mout Healthy board of education voted unanimously to place a 1.39-mill five-year emergency levy on the Nov. 3 ballot. Superintendent David Horine says without the $500,000 generated by the emergency levy, the

district will have to make additional cuts. About 52 percent of the 1,898 voters who cast ballots in August said no to the levy. Horine said the levy originally passed in 1982, and has been renewed every five years since. Because it was a renewal, it does not raise taxes. The levy costs the owner of a $100,000 home about $41 annually. Mount Healthy resident John Poppe, who served as chairman

of the August levy campaign, said he will head the effort to pass the levy in November. “I don’t want to go out a loser,” he said. Poppe said the weather and confusion over polling places that had moved hurt the levy in August. “The precincts in Mount Healthy, where we have so many voters on fixed incomes, actually passed the levy,” he said. “We were hurt in other areas, such as Colerain Township.”

Levies take two actions to be placed on the ballot. The board passed the first action Aug. 7, and when the Hamilton County Auditor’s Office had certified the millage, the board took the second action at its regular meeting Aug. 17. Horine said the district is solvent through the 2009-10 school year, but the loss of $500,000 from the district's budgets would still make cuts necessary for the following school year.

In his last term as mayor of Greenhills, Oscar Hoffmann is seeing a “dream come true.” Village officials are applying for a $4.5 million federal stimulus loan to buy the Greenhills Shopping Center. “This has been something we’ve discussed and tried to do for the last 15 to 20 years,” Hoffmann said. “If we succeed, it will be a dream come true.” Hoffmann, who plans to retire from office at the end of his current term, said the shopping center was the first such retail facility built in Ohio in 1937. Current owner Sam Huttnebauer, who lives in the city of Wyoming, has put a $2.5 million price tag on the center. Councilman Glenn Drees, who serves as president of the village Community Improvement Corpo-

ration, said the additional $2 million in the loan request will be used to renovate the center. The improvement corporation is buying the site in its role as a non-profit organization formed to promote economic development. Drees said the loan paperwork was to be filed with Hamilton County Aug. 20. “We should know 45 days after we submit the application and hope to close in November,” Drees said. He said there are 37 businesses in the center. In what Drees termed the “due diligence phase” of the loan process, he said he didn’t know how many empty stores there are or what condition they may be in. “We’re still in the assessment process,” he said. Hoffmann said the deal is entirely contingent on being awarded the stimulus money.

Favorites picked for Readers’ Choice honors By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com In June, the Community Press presented readers with a ballot of 100 categories so they could choose their favorites ranging from American vehicles to produce to women’s clothing. And readers responded, filling out newspaper and online ballots with their choices. You can find the complete list of Readers’ Choice favorites in today’s special section. We’ve talked with some of our readers’ top choices about how they keep their customers coming back. Buddy Roger’s Music Store in North College Hill scored a second-place win for musical instruments and was a third-place winner for best music store. Those honors prove it’s been hitting all the right notes since 1957. Bill Harvey, vice president of the business, said keeping his customers happy and coming back is “an on-going process.”

The coffee shop won in the Most Community-Involved Business category. Manager Theresa Perkins said what lures customers in and keeps them coming back is the fresh, gourmet food, an interesting variety of coffee beans, live entertainment on weekends and personal attention to everyone who wanders in the door. “We do whatever it takes to satisfy our customers,” Perkins said. When she’s not running the business she bought four years ago, Stoeberl is active with the College Hill Forum, College Hill Gardeners and a variety of other civic organizations aimed at revitalizing her neighborhood.

McAuley students help boys in Jamaica

Ten McAuley High School students, one alumna and two teachers traveled to Jamaica this summer on an immersion trip to help the St. John Bosco Boys Home. Teachers Greg Niehaus and Lynne Morris, and 2007 graduate Jill Wiebell were chaperones for students Katy Bertke, Fiona Burzynski, Maddie Herbert, Hannah Jester, Catherine Junker, Katlyn Klare, Shannon Makin, Carly Rothan, Chelsea Wells and Sarah Weyer. The St. John Bosco Boys Home in Manchester, Jamaica, is a residential child-care institution owned and operated by the Sisters of Mercy, the same order of Catholic Sisters that sponsors McAuley High School. Approximately 160 boys, ages 3 to 18, live at St. John Bosco, which is run by Sister Susan Frazer, RSM, a 1966 McAuley alumna, and Sister Mimi Krusling. Residents rise at 5:30 a.m. daily for chores, including butchering pigs and chickens (the sale of which helps support the home), cooking and serving food, cutting grass and other jobs. McAuley students worked at different kinds of physical jobs, such as scrubbing the outside walls of the dental clinic building with soap and water three times, and painting the clinic’s front porch and steps. They also sanded, primed and painted six sets of bunk beds for the boys, and washed three walls of the schoolhouse, the front gates, the office and house awnings and the house walls. Several of the students helped the Sisters with computer work and prepared flyers for mailing. During a daily break from 3 to 5 p.m. and again after dinner, McAuley students interacted with the boys of Bosco, talking with them, reading to them, watching movies, and playing games with them. They helped entertain at a monthly birthday party for the residents, with both groups of young people teaching each other the latest dance steps. The McAuley students were chosen to go to Jamaica through

Life

August 26, 2009

Where do our crises come from? Everyone lives a drama. We try to be playwright and write the script to our lives. But it never works out that way. There are twists and turns both good and bad, unexpected surprises, disappointments and losses and challenging situations. And there are crises sprinkled throughout. Some of them can rock us to our toes. Where do our crises come from? I don’t accept the idea that God causes suffering and crises. In this imperfect world, they come along like hurricanes, lightening strikes causing forest fires, and volcanic eruptions. I agree with the analysis of various crises expressed by author Sue Monk Kidd. She says that the crises of life come mainly from three sources: developmental transitions, intrusive events, and internal uprisings. Developmental transitions occur naturally in everyone’s life. We move from stage to stage though after awhile we hate the changing. Think of some of our changing stages: birth, beginning school, puberty, moving away from home, risking

and forming relationships, choosing a career, entering the work force, and of course, marriage. Add to these raising children, dealing with midlife, the empty nest, retiring, losing a loved person, etc. Each occurrence usually brings varying degrees of

crisis. They cause turmoil and rattle our illusion of control. There is a tug toward growth but a stronger tug to stay where we are. Intrusive events are a second source of life crises. Too many to number, they include accidents, serious illness, a loved person’s death, natural catastrophes, a miscarriage, a terminated relationship, losing our job, a wayward child, dashed dreams, etc. Though harsh on us, crises are also doorways. How we handle them changes us into bitter or better persons. The greatest factor affecting our lives for good or ill is the attitude we take in the face of things we cannot change. Internal uprisings are the third source of personal crises. Their coming is usually subtle and unspecified. We may begin to notice a vague sense of restlessness, emptiness, or a tinge of depression that hangs on. There may be spiritual doubts, insomnia, blossoming addictions, heightened anxiety, etc. We try to explain them by the terminology of today – stress, burnout, exhaustion.

From where do these come? There is a life-force within us straining toward wholeness. What do we think pulls us through all the stages of growth and development in our lives? This life-force has its own ways of getting our attention when healthy development is stymied or stuck. Creating some sort of inner crises in us is its usual technique. Typically we only make significant changes when we hurt. Such crises are meant to nudge us toward some doorway we need to pass through. The trouble is, we never think of a crisis in this way. We just pour another drink, get busy, or use our cell phone. A crises is always considered as something wrong, not something potentially helpful. Such thinking keeps us from looking for the new doorway. A crisis can be a holy summons to become more the person God made us to be. The best way to meet the crises of life is to admit them, name as specifically as we can the feelings we are experiencing, spend time in genuine reflection (seek competent help if necessary), and be painfully honest with ourselves. In short: feel, reflect, learn, and seek understanding which is the key. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

With all the hype about the movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Julie & Julia,â&#x20AC;? anyone who has what we call a â&#x20AC;&#x153; J u l i a C h i l d â&#x20AC;? story is sharing it. So today Rita Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sharHeikenfeld ing mine. I was Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen u n d e r deadline for this column and the subject was cooking with wine. On a whim, I called Julia and, of course, she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;outâ&#x20AC;? but the secretary said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d give her the message. â&#x20AC;&#x153;OK,â&#x20AC;? I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never hear.â&#x20AC;? About a half hour later the phone rang and my husband, Frank, answered and said the call was for me. When I asked him who it was he simply said â&#x20AC;&#x153;some elderly lady.â&#x20AC;? Well, it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have mattered if it were a young lady; I was under deadline and had no time to chitchat. When I picked up the phone and said hello, the voice

that said hello back was â&#x20AC;Ś Juliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s! I almost dropped the phone. She was so nice, answered every question, and then just asked about my family and me. We talked for a total of 30 minutes, 10 of which was professional and the rest was personal. And guess what? She even sent me a signed thank you note. So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my Julia story and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why she was so loved and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why my copy of her book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mastering the Art of French Cookingâ&#x20AC;? is dog-eared with use.

For several readers who wanted this recipe again. Go to taste on the sugar. I find 3 cups is plenty, but most folks like 4-5. A nonstick pan is best for this.

Perfectly grilled salmon

The 70-30 rule applies to any seafood on the grill. Have the grill hot, lightly brush both sides of the fish with oil, and start grilling skin side up with the grill closed as much as possible. (Or just put a disposable pan over the fish). Leave it alone until about 70 percent of the fish is done on the first side. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know it by the looks and also if it will release easily. This allows the fish to form a nice crust. Turn it

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how I season mine: Brush four salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each, with skin (or not) on both sides with olive or other oil. Season both sides with salt and 1â &#x201E;4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (this is enough for all four) and the juice of a lime (about 2 tablespoons). Grill as indicated above.

Boil zucchini in water for 5 minutes. Drain well and return to pan. Add sugar and pineapple. Boil 10 minutes, stirring frequently so it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stick. Remove from heat and stir in Jell-O. Cool, spoon into jars and refrigerate.

Looking back at 150 years of Harvest Home Fair The 2009 Harvest Home Fair will be the milestone 150th! The Kiwanis Club of Cheviot-Westwood has sponsored the last 71 fairs and we are proud of its history. The founding editor of The Western Hills Press and a charter member of The Cheviot-Westwood Club, Albert Huneke wrote: “Early in its history, The Club was confronted with a community challenge and urged to accept that task by the first and only two-term president, John J. O’Rourke, Business Manager of The Western Hills Press. The

newly formed Kiwanis Club accepted the challenge. So only a year after The Kiwanis Club was established in mid 1937 as the community’s newest organization, the demise of the community’s oldest organization appeared inevitable. The Green Township Harvest Home Association, bankrupt and with aging leadership, voted to discontinue its annual Festival after 79 years without a miss during times of war and

peace, depression and prosperity. The young Kiwanis Club with 26 charter members assumed the sponsorship of the 80th annual Festival in 1939 (70 years ago). The GTHHA directors transferred the full title to the Festival to a new Board of young eager Kiwanians under the chairmanship of Dr. Foster Williams, a third generation community physician and the third generation of Williams physicians to chair the Harvest Home Committee. His father, Dr. John Williams and his grandfather, Dr. Peter Williams, were his predecessors in both capacities.

Foster Williams served as general chairman for 31 years, 19391970, and the Dr. Foster Williams Tot Lot on the Harvest Home Park grounds is a lasting memorial to his long-time dedication. He was designated as Chairman Emeritus until his death in 1976. The City of Cheviot had gained $25,000 from a bond issue to establish a municipal park on the historic site of Harvest Home Grove and the Village of Cheviot had purchased the land from the Harvest Home Association. The sole assets acquired by The Kiwanis Club were “lumber, seats,

ropes, flag, tables, buildings (but not the dance pavilion) and the right to use the Harvest Home Park for the Festival.” Lacking operating cash, it was necessary for Kiwanis to raise a ‘starter fund’ to underwrite their first festival and a fund of $270.50 was subscribed by individual Kiwanians and community businesses that were just emerging from the great Depression. With that pool, the 80th annual Festival wound up $112.25 in the black! Dr. William Gerhardt is the historian for the Cheviot-Westwood Kiwanis.

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 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 fever-

reducing medicine, for at least 24 hours. There are some additional ways to protect yourself and help stop the spread of disease in our community.

Tim Ingram Community Press guest columnist Get informed

This is a rapidly changing situation.Get 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 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 25-64 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.

Ozone: one gas, many layers Ozone is very much a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde case. It is simply a gas, with the same scientific make-up at all times. However, its location in the atmosphere causes it to take on very different properties. The results are either very helpful or very harmful to health and the environment. The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) wants the region’s two million citizens to know why ozone gas is a big concern. First, there is the Dr. Jekyll of ozone: stratospheric ozone. This could also be known as the “good” type of ozone. Found anywhere from six to 30 miles above the Earth’s surface, stratospheric ozone acts as a natural shield, protecting earth from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays.

This type of ozone is imperative for life on earth. Unfortunately, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, levels of the stratospheric ozone have been depleted and have caused a variety of problems including an increase in health concerns such as skin cancer, and environmental concerns such as crop depletion. With stratospheric ozone, preservation and protection are key, unlike its counterpart. Although the other type ozone has the exact same chemical makeup, the Mr. Hyde of ozone has a different effect on the environment. This form of ozone is known as ground-level ozone. As the name suggests, this it is found in the air closest to the Earth’s surface. Ground-level ozone is one of the main components in smog, a

harmful kind of air pollution. Smog is created through chemical reactions when emissions, such as those from vehicles and industry, react with sunlight or heat, making this a major problem during the summer. Smog poses a serious risk to both humans and the environment. Research from the EPA has shown it can decrease the lungs’ working capacity, causing shortness of breath, wheezing, chest pain and coughing. It can also cause eye and nose irritation and reduce the body’s ability to fight infection. Long term exposure to smog can permanently scar lung tissue and lead to emphysema, bronchitis and asthma. Furthermore, ground-level ozone is harmful to the environment because it damages crops, trees and other vege-

tation. Because of their harmful effects, ground-level ozone and smog are monitored throughout the Greater Cincinnati region. When high levels of ozone are expected in the presence of sunlight or high temperatures, a smog alert is issued to warn individuals. During the warmer months, it is important to pay attention to local media outlets to find out when a smog alert is in effect. Those who have an increased interest can also call 1-800-621SMOG to sign up for smog alert notification when an alert is issued. There are things everyone can do to protect the region from pollution before a smog alert is issued. OKI outlines many simple changes that can help cut down

Volleyball teams hit the courts By Anthony Amorini

Local girls are looking to spike the competition in 2009 as high school squads take the court for the fall volleyball season. Here is a look at the local teams:

Winton Woods

Finneytown

A roster devoid of seniors leaves the Finneytown Wildcats with a rather inexperienced squad as firstyear head coach Dana Heileman takes over the program. But Heileman remains optimistic as the coach prepares to lay a foundation for future successes with all of his players set to return in 2010. “This season will be a rebuilding one, as we are a very young team,” Heileman said via e-mail. A trio of juniors return as starters including setter Ashley Lewis, libero Emily Hall and outside hitter Jessica Hart. Sophomore outside hitter Erin Vogt is also a returning starter. Alongside the returning players, Heileman expects to see immediate contributions from a trio of new sophomores including Lauren Stoecker (outside hitter), Erin Strobl and Marrisa Morris. “We will be without any seniors this season so we will be looking to ( (Lewis),” Heileman said. Lewis begins her second season as a team captain this fall. Finneytown last won a Cincinnati Hills League championship in 1991. The girls finished at 15-5 overall last season including a 2-12 CHL record. Indian Hill won the CHL title in 2008 at 13-1 in the conference with an overall record of 18-6.

Mt. Healthy

Four seniors graduated from the program following Mt. Healthy High School’s 15-9 campaign in 2008.

The Winton Woods volleyball team should be improved in 2009 as the team returns several key players, including Kelsie Rogers, Ashley Booker, Skye Gillespie and Kendria Williamson. The team also has a talented newcomer in Amber Howell. Winton Woods starts its season on Aug. 31 against Withrow. FILE PHOTO

McAuley players celebrate a point during the 2008 tournament.

Frances Johnson said via email. “I like the fact that we are a young team,” Johnson said. “Since we are young, it gives them a chance to learn and grow together, which is what they are doing each day.” Johnson expects to see immediate contributions from a number of inexperienced players including senior outside hitter Nikeya Sharp Strong and freshman defensive specialist Linda Hoepf. The Lady Owls finished with a 5-5 record in its Fort Ancient Valley Conference Scarlet Division while taking fourth place in the sixteam division in 2008. Norwood (16-8, 9-1) took first place in the FAVC Scarlet Division followed by second-place Talawanda (10-14, 8-2) and thirdplace Ross (11-11, 6-4).

North College Hill

On the heels of a 2-12 season, Tanielle Johnson is the only returning starter for North College Hill this fall. Head coach Chrissy Martini begins her second year at the helm of the program in 2009.

McAuley

The McAuley High School volleyball team went 8-14 in 2008 but should be one of the top three teams in the very competitive GGCL in 2009. The team returns a number of key players, including outside hitters Hannah Vanarsdall, Lindsey Criswell and Lauren Krabacher. Vanarsdall has been hampered by injury but should be healthy, Criswell was a second-team All-District player a year ago and Krabacher had a strong tournament season and could be the team’s top standout. Kelley Namaky, a junior setter, should be another standout for McAuley and junior Kaitlyn Gerrity is another returning starter that could be a major contributor for the Mohawks. Head coach Patrick Kerley said his team’s size could pose problems for the top two teams in the conference. “I think we will finish third in the league, but if we get development out of some of our newer kids we could really surprise some people,” he said. Coaches from Aiken and Roger Bacon were unavailable for comment before Community Press deadlines.

Tennis swings back into season aamorini@communitypress.com

La Salle High School graduate/golfer Chad Summe was named to the All-North Coast Athletic Conference second team. He helped lead the Wittenberg University Tigers to second-place finish in the NCAC championship tournament, turning in his best round as a collegian in the tourney's first round. Summe, who graduated this spring, is the son of Tom and Carrie Summe of Colerain Township.

All-conference

’09

The fall tennis season for high school girls is in full swing and a number of local schools have varied expectations for the upcoming season. Here’s a look at the local squads:

Finneytown

A trio of starters including Taylor Tomaro, Jenny Evans and Katie Gates return to lead Finneytown this fall. Playing at No. 1 singles and representing the Wildcats’ leader, Tomaro has been named to the All Cincinnati Hills League squad for three-consecutive years. Finneytown finished at 2-10 last fall though the

Wildcats look to improve upon the mark in 2009. First-year head coach Joe Staneck looks for Ali Taylor and Malia Zimmerman, both newcomers to the varsity squad, to be immediate contributors. Indian Hill finished at 14-3 to win its 12-consecutive CHL title last fall and represents the team to beat in the conference.

McAuley

The McAuley High School tennis team returns five players from 2008 and should be an improved team in 2009. Hannah Davis, Chrissy Gruenwald, Maria Lupp, Zoe Widmer and Andrea Heckle are the returning players for McAuley. Sarah Herman is a newcomer to watch for

“We have a nice mix of girls this season and we’re looking forward to seeing how each of them develop further. We are also eager to see how Hannah (Davis) will do in her fourth season as a varsity player.”

Lauren Bischak McAuley head coach

McAuley. Head coach Lauren Bischak said she’s excited for the season and to see how the newcomers play. “We have a nice mix of girls this season and we’re looking forward to seeing how each of them develop further,” she said. “We are also eager to see how Hannah will do in her fourth season as a varsity player.”

Roger Bacon

A quartet of varsity players return as Fred Widmeyer begins his first season at the

helm of the program. Returning players for Roger Bacon include Kelsey Foster, Jennie Quinn, Ashlee Cook and Kelsey Bickel. “Only (Foster and Quinn) have a lot of experience so I will count on them to help with the new players,” Widmeyer said via email. “The team is young but very excited and I look for some good surprises this season.” New additions for Roger Bacon include Meghan Finke, Eboni Rall, Kelsey Murphy. Samantha Sorter,

Nicole Ausdenmoore and Ashley Whitehead. Roger Bacon finished at 5-14 in 2008 while posting an 0-12 record in the seven-team Girls’ Greater Cincinnati League to finish in last place. However, the GGCL has since been reorganized and Roger Bacon is in a much smaller pool in the fourteam GGCL Grey Central Division. And Purcell Marian doesn’t field a tennis team, meaning Badin and McNicholas are the only teams Roger Bacon will compete with for a division title in 2009. Winton Woods did not provide information before Hilltop Press deadlines. Aiken, Mt. Healthy and North College Hill will not field a girls’ tennis team in 2009.

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 Sheehan 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.

Clark Montessori Game days

Aug. 29 @ Middletown Christian – 7 p.m. Sept. 5 @ Dayton Christian Sept. 11 @ Williamsburg Sept. 17 @ Cincinnati Country Day – 6:30 p.m. Sept. 25 Lockland Oct. 2 @ Cincinnati Christian Oct. 9 North College Hill Oct. 16 New Miami Oct. 23 @ Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy – 7 p.m. Oct. 30 @ Summit Country Day All games at 7:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted. 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, 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.”

Bob Suddendorf, 83, of Springfield Township and Max Suddendorf, 14, of Symmes Township celebrate winning their division (14-16 year old grandchild) in the Grandparent / Grandchild Scramble Tournament at Meadow Links and Golf Academy at Winton Woods on Thursday, Aug. 6.

The Hat Tricks B00 celebrate their status as U9 bracket finalists. In the final game, the score went back and forth until both teams were tied 5-5 in the final few minutes. A poor clearance led to a great shot from 20 yards out by New Albany Freedom. A last-ditch effort by the Hat Tricks led to a shot wide left and the game ended. In front, from left, are Peyton Etheridge of Colerain Township, Aidan Jones, Isaiah Neal of Colerain, Terrance Manning of Colerain, Cody Busam of Colerain, Drew Henke, Kyle Daugherty of Cheviot, Nathan Henke, Dylan Thompson of Forest Park, Nathan Neal of Colerain and Miguel Garcia of Price Hill.

College Hill couple, diving program honored Diving with a Purpose is a marine archaeological program of the National Association of Black Scuba Divers. Volunteer divers participate in an annual week-long training session based in Biscayne National Park. Working in collaboration with the National Park Service, the program has trained over 13 African American divers in basic archaeological surveying to create maps of sites for divers to follow. The efforts of the program have assisted the National Park Service in

identifying, researching and marking a number of sunken shipwrecks. Volunteers also helped to develop professional site plans for historical and archaeological sites in Biscayne National Park. They have helped to enhance the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historical database, which ensures greater conservation and enhances its use and access by the public and scuba divers.
