A single sign of growth Home permits up in Miami By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

Despite a struggling economy and depressed housing sales, Miami Township has issued more single family home permits this year than it had at this point last year. Township Administrator Larry Fronk said the township issued 13 permits in June and has issued 27 for the year, compared to the 23 it issued from January to June 2008. “Things have picked up considerably in one month and this year,” Fronk said. “I don’t really know why, but I’m hoping it’s a positive sign that things are starting to turn Fronk around.” Most of the permits were issued for homes in the Reserves of Greycliffs and White Gate Farms subdivisions which range in price from $200,000 to $250,000, Fronk said. Trustee Mary Makley Wolff said she was happy permits were up and that development and growth are important for the economic health of the township. “I think it’s encouraging to see some growth starting back in the township,” she said. “People worry about growing too much and too fast, but there’s also a danger in not growing at all, which is equally bad for a community. You want to have a sustained, consistent growth that doesn’t overwhelm the infrastructure.” Fronk also said builders were likely drawn to Miami Township for a myriad of reasons, ranging from its schools to its proximity to Cincinnati. “We have a great school system and quality services are provided to residents,” Wolff said. “This is a great place to work and play.” Though the jump in permits is a good sign, Fronk and Wolff both said they were cautiously optimistic about whether the number would continue to climb. “I think it’s too early to tell,” Fronk said. “June was quite a month, but we’re going to have to wait and see.”

Painter Nancy Achberger paints a small “plein air” piece outdoors at Spring Grove Cemetery.

MARION CORBIN-MEYER/CONTRIBUTOR

Fresh coat of paint for Milford By Kellie Geist kgeist@communitypress.com

Milford will be getting in touch with its artsy side Saturday, Aug. 22. Plein Air artists, or artists who paint outdoor scenes on location, will be gathering in Milford that day for the city’s first Paint Out. “I think this will bring a lot to the city in the way of art,” said Connie Hunter, president of the Greater Milford Arts and Events Council. “It’s going to be a great event.” The Paint Out is sponsored by the Ohio Plein Air Society and was brought to Milford by artists Nancy Achberger and Ray Hassard. “We have the Little Miami River, some nice older houses and barns and I just thought it would be a good place to bring people for a paint out,” Achberger, of Milford, said. She asked Hassard, who was planning a paint out in the Cincin-

nati area, what he thought. “The event was originally scheduled to be at the Cincinnati Nature Center ... but Nancy contacted me about making the paint out into a bigger event in Milford and I thought it was a good idea,” Hassard said. Because the event location was originally at the nature center, Hassard will be at that location for any artists who would like to paint there. During the Paint Out in Milford, there will be a central tent at Park National Bank, 25 Main St., where artists can register for the paint out and pick up a map of the city. Anyone who would like to participate in the Paint Out can either register on the day of the event or contact Achberger at nachberger@cinci.rr.com. The event will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a wet paint sale at the event tent at 3 p.m. The paint out is open to all types of artists with any skill level. For those who haven’t

painted outdoors before, Achberger has some advice. “You’ll want to have your supplies ready to work on, some sort of means to transport it and an easel or something to support the work ... You also need to have a relaxed state of mind because it’s very easy to get frustrated,” Achberger said. She also said artists should bring items for comfort and convenience such as water, sunscreen, bug spray, a hat and maybe an umbrella. Hassard said artists should also be prepared for the human element of working outside, but if an artist wants to give plein air painting a try, a paint out is the perfect way to get your feet wet. “It can be a little intimidating to walk down the street and set your easel up ... It’s a good experience to get out there and do it and to see what everyone else is doing too,” Hassard said. “An event like this can be really fun, even if your just starting out.”

Miami Twp. officials educate parents, teens about sexting By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

Before attending a town hall meeting at the Miami Township Civic Center Wednesday, Aug. 12, Theresa Mell thought sexting was defined as sending nude pictures to another person. “I actually learned that it’s not just nude photos,” Mell said. “It’s anything you can construe as sexually permissive, whether you’re wearing clothes or not.” Mell was just one of several Miami Township and Milford resi-

dents who crowded the civic center to hear Miami Township Trustee Ken Tracy, Miami Township police officers and two state representatives talk about the dangers of sexting. According to Miami Township community relations director Tim Pennington, a recent study by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy and Cosmogirl.com found one in five teen girls say they have electronically sent or posted online nude or semi-nude images of themselves.

“I think it’s so important for parents to be aware of what’s going on out there and that teens understand the importance of representing themselves in a way they can be proud of,” said Tracy, who has two teenage daughters. “We have an obligation to teach our young people about these things.” During the town hall meeting, officials discussed everything from what to do if parents discover lewd photos on their children’s phones to the legal repercussions of sexting.

“They told us to delete the photos, but if they keep being sent that teens should report them to friends, parents or someone else in the community they can trust,” Mell said. Tracy said he thought the meeting was a success and that similar meetings could occur in the future. “My goal as a trustee is to identify from a social aspect the needs within our community,” he said. “I want to continue these on a quarterly basis.”

Keynote speakers highlight strong women By Kellie Geist kgeist@communitypress.com

The other keynote speaker is Nancy Arnold, a charter member and facilitator of a military support group. Her efforts have given her numerous opportunities to volunteer with groups such as the American Red Cross, United Way, The Thank You Foundation and many more. Arnold also is a member of the board of directors for The Thank You Foundation. Through her involvement in the International Association of Administrative Professionals, Arnold cochaired the Employee Campaign Coordinators Council for United Way of Greater Cincinnati for the 2008 Employee Campaign. Former President George W. Bush presented Arnold with the 2008 Pres-

BRIEFLY

idential Volunteer Award. “These women are impressive. They have made a real impact on their community,” said Cyndy Wright, league president. “...

The Loveland City School District and the Milford Exempted Village School District both expressed interest in having Tracy and the law enforcement officials visit their schools as further outreach to students about the dangers of sexting. “What we truly want to do now is take it and partner with the schools and educate students about what’s happening,” Tracy said. “We want to reach out to the youth in our community and have a positive impact.”

Clermont shut out of federal COPS funds By John Seney, Mary Dannemiller and Kellie Geist Clermont@communitypress.com Clermont County law enforcement agencies were left off the list July 28 when Vice President Joe Biden announced $1 billion in grants would be awarded to hire additional police officers across the nation. The money was part of the Obama Administration’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. It was intended to hire 5,000 law enforcement officers funded through the U.S. Justice Department’s COPS Hiring Recovery Program. Out of 7,272 law enforcement agencies that applied, only 1,046 received funding. Sheriff A.J. Rodenberg said some Clermont County agencies applied, but none received any money. He said he wasn’t sure why no Clermont agencies made the list. The sheriff’s office itself did not apply because of concerns about fund-

Bethel wanted to use the money to bring two full-time officers to the department. He applied for $300,000, estimating each would cost $150,000 for a three-year period. Union Township applied for $1.2 million, which would have paid for about 15 road officers. “We were rejected, so we’re not going to get a dime of that,” said Union Township Police Chief Terry Zinser. “Of course I’m disappointed, but I believe we may have another bite at the apple if more money is allocated for grants in January.” Union Township’s safety services is facing a $4 million deficit and a 2.95mill levy. While the COPS grant wouldn’t have eliminated this need, “it certainly would have helped,” Zinser said. Other agencies that applied for the funding, according to the justice department’s COPS Web site were: Pierce and Goshen townships, Amelia, New Richmond and Williamsburg.

ing any new officers after the grant money ran out, Rodenberg said. The federal money would only pay for the officers for three years. With the uncertain economy, Rodenberg was not sure he could find the funding in the future. “We didn’t want to run into a wall at the end of three years,” he said. He also pointed out that the cost of hiring a new officer involved more than salary. There would be other expenses such as benefits and training. Bethel was another agency that did not get the funding. “I was kind of optimistic about getting the money, but I didn’t really expect to so I wasn’t let down,” said Bethel Chief Mark Planck said. “I’m still kind of disappointed that only certain areas got the money and we’ve been struggling here in Clermont County for the longest time. It seems like those who have had the money in the past are getting the money now.”

Clermont County Library facing 30 percent cut By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

The Clermont County Library already has laid off 24 employees and made cuts to its outreach programs, but more cuts could be coming thanks to an estimated 30 percent cut in the library’s budget. “From what the state is telling us, our budget is reduced by 30 percent,” said Clermont County Library Clerk Treasurer Maura Gray. “We estimate it’s probably going to be higher because the state’s estimates of its own rev-

enue are so poor.” The library will not have any solid numbers on exactly how much it will lose until the end of the year when the state’s revenue projection is finalized, but the library already is investigating where further cuts can be made, Gray said. “We’re looking at a lot of options and tweaking our budget everywhere we can to avoid further employee reductions, but I don’t know if we’re going to be able to avoid that,” she said. Executive Director Dave Mezack said he was meeting with other library direc-

tors from around the state to learn how they were dealing with the budget crunch. “At this time, we’re being very cautious in how we’re going to proceed,” he said. “I’m meeting with other library directors to discuss the issues and how other libraries are cutting back. We’re not going to make any rash decisions or moves at this point in time.” Library officials originally anticipated a 50 percent cut and Mezack said he was grateful it wasn’t that high. “A 30 percent reduction is certainly better than a 50

percent reduction so I’m glad to see that number is smaller,” he said. “However, we’re still going to have to make some cuts to our budget as a result of Gov. Strickland’s cuts.” Mezack would not speculate as to what might change, but did say that programming and other services would be reduced before branches of the library were closed. “It’s too early to say yet what is going to happen, but we are going to take every possible measure to make sure we don’t have to close branches,” he said.

Service employee union members protest county contract By Kellie Geist kgeist@communitypress.com

Former Scioto Services employees and representatives of the Service Employees International Union picketed outside the Clermont County offices in Batavia Wednesday, April 15, to let officials know how they felt about the county’s switch in janitorial services. The county accepted a $438,172.86 bid from Alpha & Omega Building Services Feb. 25 to provide janitorial services to 29 county buildings, including the Medical Social Services Building, the courts and Permit Central. Scioto Services had provided these services since August 2007, but their bid for this year was $548,486. “(Alpha & Omega Building Services was) selected because they came in with the lowest and best bid received after all items were verified,” said Kathy Lehr, Clermont County’s communication director. “The county terminated the contract with Scioto (Services) for failure to comply with the specifications of the custodial contract after repeated attempts to correct problems ... We had numerous complaints.” Wade Grabowski, director of the Clermont County Facilities Management Department, said the county has about four boxes of complaints from the past year and a half that “document repeated violations of contractual obligations.” The switch resulted in the layoffs of nine Scioto Services employees effective March 20. Only one of those employees was able to find employment with Alpha & Omega Building Services. “We’re not saying that the county doesn’t have the right to go for a better quality service, if they weren’t happy with Scioto (Services), then of course go with someone else,” said Ruairi Rhodes, SEIU organizer. “But these workers (should) have been assumed by the new company ... The only thing that (should) have changed is their uniform.” Rhodes said most union contractors who accept bids are open to assuming employees from the previous

contractor. Although the employees would still have to go through an interview process, they would have had the chance to find new employment. Also, Alpha & Omega Building Services had to hire new employees to fulfill this contract. Former employees and SEUI representatives also attended the March 4 and March 18 Clermont County commissioners’ meetings to express their concerns of lost employment. According to the minutes from March 4, the commissioners, “expressed their regrets about these concerns, but stated that they have no authority to intervene in and as it relates to these issues.” “Everyone had an opportunity to fill out an application to be interviewed for a position with the new company. They had an opportunity to do that,” said Wade Grabowski, Director of the Clermont County Facilities Management Department. The Scioto Services employees were members of the SEIU and, as such, were receiving regular pay increases and would have received health care in 2010. Boone was making about $12 per hour for her janitorial work. “We’re just tired of giving up ... All we’re asking for is our jobs. We just want another chance,” said Shauna Boone, Amelia resident and former Scioto Services employee. Lehr said the decision to go with Alpha & Omega Building Service had nothing to do with union affiliations and, even if the county wanted to switch back to Scioto Services, the current contract is for a year of service. “The county does not have the option to switch back ... The termination was according to the contract. The county bid the service again and selected the lowest bid that met the requirements of the contact specifications,” Lehr said. “Unless Alpha & Omega fails to perform, the contact remains in place.” If the contact were terminated, the county could be liable for the value of the remainder of the contact and perhaps other penalties, she said.

Earley begins duties as Clermont Northeastern High School principal By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

JOHN SENEY/STAFF

Matt Earley was introduced as the new principal of Clermont Northeastern High School at the board of education meeting Aug. 3.

Matt Earley said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;really excited to be on boardâ&#x20AC;? as new principal of Clermont Northeastern High School. The CNE board of education approved hiring Earley Aug. 3 and he began his new job the next day. He was given a three-year contract at an annual salary of $93,101. Earley replaces Frank Chapin, who resigned in July after an investigation was launched into allegations of sexual harassment. Superintendent Neil Leist praised Earley as the best principal in the county and someone who can move the district to the next level.

The CNE board of education approved hiring Earley Aug. 3 and he began his new job the next day. Earley had been the principal at Williamsburg High School for six years. Before that he was an assistant principal and a teacher in Norwood, Ohio. The Clermont Northeastern board also approved the hiring of Jason Tackett as assistant principal at the high school. He was formerly dean of students at the high school and athletic director. Charlie Tackett was hired as new athletic director.

Williamsburg Superintendent Jeff Weir said he recommended Barry Daulton, principal at Williamsburg Middle School, be hired as the new principal of the high school. The board of education approved the choice Aug. 5. Weir said Daulton â&#x20AC;&#x153;has done a fantastic job. He is a great relationship builder. A genuine advocate for kids.â&#x20AC;? Daulton has been with Williamsburg for eight years, first as an assistant principal of the high school and then as middle school principal when that was made a separate position six years ago. Before that, he taught in the Bethel-Tate Local School District. As high school principal he will be paid an annual salary of

$86,096. Weir said he is in the process of interviewing candidates for the opening of

middle school principal. He said he hopes to fill that position before school starts Aug. 24.

Conrad election challenge dismissed The Clermont County Board of Elections has dismissed a challenge to the candidacy of Greg Conrad, who is running for clerk of courts, municipal court, in the Nov. 3 election. The challenge to the petitions filed by Conrad, a Pierce Township trustee, was made by Ross Hardin, who was represented by Curt Hartman, a former Pierce Township trustee. Judy Miller, director of the board of elections, said the board unanimously dismissed the challenge Thursday, July 30.

The challenge to the petitions filed by Greg Conrad was made by Ross Hardin, who was represented by Curt Hartman, a former Pierce Township trustee. The board already had certified Conradâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s petitions so no further action was needed. Miller said the challenge claimed alterations were made in the petitions filed by Conrad. However, the board found no evidence of that. Hartman also asked the board to issue subpoenas for three people who had circulated petitions for Conrad, but according to Miller, the board didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any

evidence brought forward by Hartman to call the those who circulated the petitions as witnesses. Conrad said he did not know why the challenge was made. He said the elections board looked at his petitions twice and found nothing wrong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy its over,â&#x20AC;? he said. Hartman said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;disappointed in the total abandonment of the board

responsibility. The board has a duty to the public to investigate any irregularities.â&#x20AC;? He said the circulatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; statements on Conradâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s petitions were in different ink and different handwriting, suggesting that changes had been made. That is why he wanted to call the three circulators as witnesses. Hartman said that based on the past history of the election board, the ruling â&#x20AC;&#x153;did not surprise me.â&#x20AC;? Hartman said he would confer with his client â&#x20AC;&#x153;to review our options.â&#x20AC;? He said one option would be to file a lawsuit against the elections board.

Goshen Park District presents progress report mdannemiller@communitypress.com

In the last eight months, the Goshen Park District has established relationships with state and federal agencies, updated financial records and even launched a Web site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our biggest challenge has been reorganizing and working through the tasks that needed to be done for us to become a fully functioning entity,â&#x20AC;? said Kendra Schroer, one of the five park district commissioners. Schroer presented a progress report to township residents at the Wednesday, Aug. 12, trustees meeting in

The district also is considering hiring a project manager to write grants for the district and handle day-to-day issues. which she detailed the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplishments and goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very happy to see that they seem to be operating as a team and getting organized,â&#x20AC;? Trustee T.J. Corcoran said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve accomplished many things that have been necessary for a long time. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very optimistic about the future

of Goshen parks.â&#x20AC;? The park district also has decided on a name for the 80-acre tract of land on Goshen Road that resident Katherine Marr left to the township when she died. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kathryn Stagge-Marr Community Park is now the official name of the Marr park site,â&#x20AC;? Schroer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are blessed that Mrs. Marr decided to bequeath us this property, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a golden opportunity.â&#x20AC;? While it could be several years before work on the Marr park site is complete, Schroer said the park district already has started writing rules and regulations for its

use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on rules for the park right now and trying to figure out how it will be patrolled,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to make sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s protected and not vandalized.â&#x20AC;? The district also is considering hiring a project manager to write grants for the district and handle dayto-day issues, Schroer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hopeful that we can create a park that is used by Goshen residents and that will help build our community,â&#x20AC;? Corcoran said. For more information about the Goshen Park District, visit goshenparkdistrict.org.

Goshen kicks off band camp Goshen High School’s marching band kicked off its band camp Aug. 3. The camp ran two weeks and ended Aug. 14. “We’re off to a great start,” said band director Michael Ossenschmidt. The band practiced some of its marching routines in the parking lot next to the high school.

Goshen Local School District Board of Education members were recognized by the Ohio School Board Association for meeting “gold-level” standards as an effective school board. David Yockey, who serves on the executive committee of the Southwest Region of the OSBA, presented the award at the school board’s May 11 meeting and praised Goshen’s board for its “service to the community.” Yockey also serves as a member of the Milford Exempted Village School District Board of Education. The award was based on Goshen meeting criteria set by the

state organization for 2008. The criteria cited in the award includes a focus on student achievement, and striving “to make a difference through community involvement, personal and board training, working relationships with superintendents and treasurers, legal and policy review, and legislative dialogue for support of public education.” The OSBA Southwest Region represents 159 public school districts in 17 southwest Ohio counties. The school board also received words of praise from one resident at the meeting. Joe Riede said he thought it was important to get out the positive message that the board “was working for you in tough economic times.”

Seven Hills teacher is recipient of Siemens Award David Abineri, head of the Science Department of Seven Hills School and teacher of AP Physics and AP Calculus BC, is the recipient of the 2009 Siemens Award for Advanced Placement for teachers. He is one of 50 teachers nationally (one from each state) to be honored. Co-sponsored by the Siemens Foundation and the College Board, the award recognizes teachers of AP programs in mathematics, science and technology for their exemplary teaching and their enthusiastic dedication to their students and to the Advanced Placement Program both inside and outside the classroom.

Winning teachers receive a $1,000 award. Consideration for the awards is primarily based on the College Board’s AP Report to the Nation, a report that identifies top-performing high school AP programs. News of Abineri Abineri building and driving an electric car to and from school each day reached worldwide status. His car recently passed its 1,000th mile of driving without gasoline. Abineri lives in Milford.

2) â&#x20AC;&#x153;The music of the spheres,â&#x20AC;? the Pythagorean metaphor that has inspired great composers throughout the ages, is no figment of human imagination. As music critic John Rockwell commented, â&#x20AC;&#x153;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 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the note B-flat.â&#x20AC;? Rockwell refers to the fact that in 2003 astronomers using the Hubble telescope registered a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cosmic humâ&#x20AC;? emanating from black holes with â&#x20AC;&#x153;a frequency equivalent to a Bflat which in their instruments calculated to be 57 tones below middle C.â&#x20AC;? Among musicologists, this news from outer space has sparked an Internet quest for the emotional and aesthetic significance of Bflat â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?

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 doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

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

Busy summer means good start for school year

Welcome back! Wednesday, Aug. 19, is the first day of school for the Milford school district. The summer has been a very busy and productive one. We’d like to share some important information about developments during the summer and some expectations for the upcoming school year. The Ohio Department of Education is expected to release the district from Fiscal Caution in the very near future. The state placed Milford Schools in that category during the tough financial times when the district had a projected deficit and several failed levies. After the successful levy in November 2008 and prudent financial decisions by the board to reduce expenditures,

the district dram a t i c a l l y improved its financial standing. At the beginning of this Fiscal Year 2010, the district had a cash carryover balRobert ance of $8.6 milFarrell lion.

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 softspoken, 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.” B.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!

The country was Vietnam. I eventually went on to participate at the expense of higher education.

change the grading scale to a 10point scale. The committee and the board agreed that this scale, 100-90 is an “A,” creates equal opportunities for Milford students compared to students from other competing schools. This could result in more college opportunities as well as scholarships for Milford students. If you drive around Milford High School, you can see the progress of the bond issue project. Construction crews are following the project timeline for additions and renovations. Due to the successful bidding process for the work, the district had more money remaining in the bond fund than originally expected. The bond fund can be used to pay for capital improvements

including work on other schools. These projects also can qualify for future reimbursement from the state just like the new building projects. With that bond issue money we installed an efficient air conditioning system in the remainder of Milford Junior High and replaced a large section of the roof of Milford High School. Now is a good time to bid for work projects, so we are able to stretch your dollars even further to improve your schools. Another issue we are tracking is the H1N1 flu. Milford Schools initiated an extensive cleaning and disinfecting program in our buildings several years ago when the bird flu was the concern.

Lois Brown Dale touched many lives

Lois Brown Dale, founding director of Clermont Senior Services, passed away Aug. 16, just 11 days shy of her 92nd birthday. With her passing we are changed, not because she has left us, but because she touched us. We are blessed that Lois spent most of her adult life in Clermont County. When Lois arrived in Clermont County with James Brown, her first husband and the love of her life, they settled in the Withamsville area and set about the task of raising their three young chilGeorge dren. But Lois was not one to sit by Brown and watch others serve as community volunteers. She soon became Community engaged in the PTA and other Press guest school activities, and participated in columnist the women’s clubs of the day, almost always being asked to serve in leadership roles which came to her naturally. Before long Lois found herself engaged in the broader community. She helped organize the Clermont County chapter of the League of Women Voters and served as its first president. She helped establish the public library system in Clermont County, and served as an advocate of programs for the developmentally disabled. Of course, she will be remembered most for her work on behalf of senior citizens. In 1969, Lois secured a modest grant from the Administration on Aging in Washington, D.C., to open several senior centers in Clermont County. From this humble beginning, Lois created Clermont Senior Services. Within a few short years Clermont Senior Services was widely recognized as a model for the delivery of community-based services to help frail older adults maintain their independence and continue enjoying the comfort of their own homes. Lois was instrumental in bringing United Way funding to Clermont County, not only for Senior Services but for other programs as well. Over the years she wore a path to and from Columbus to bring state and federal dollars back to Clermont County to support a multitude of programs, ranging from youth employment to adult protective services. The list of her accomplishments is far too long to record them all here, but along the way others recognized her achievements. Lois was named Pacesetter of the Year by the Clermont Chamber of Commerce, and received the Cincinnati Enquirer’s Woman of the Year award. In the late 1970s, Lois took on what can be fairly described as her greatest challenge. She sat about the task of persuading Gov. James Rhodes and leaders in the state legislature to pass a bill that would permit local municipalities to place a property tax levy on the ballot to support services for older adults. Under Lois’ leadership, in November 1982 Clermont County passed Ohio’s first countywide senior services levy. Other counties soon followed Lois’ lead, and today 70 of Ohio’s 88 counties have countywide levies that generate more than $130 million annually to help care for frail older adults who have little or no family support to help meet their needs. Those who knew Lois best will be quick to tell you the gift of her life was not in the extraordinary

Lois was a kind and gracious woman who could gently touch the life of a friend or an employee with just the right words to help guide them in their time of need. At the same time she was a fierce advocate who could “touch” politicians with an intensity in her words that Dale would dare them to question the reasonableness of her position. Some, at times, may have disagreed with how she went about applying her touch in the affairs of the community, but none questioned the genuineness of her motives, which were always rooted in a compelling desire to improve the lives and circumstances of others, especially those who could not speak for themselves. I realize some younger readers will not remember Lois. After serving as executive director of Clermont Senior Services for 22 years, she retired in 1991 and stepped away from public life. It was that stepping away that gave me the opportunity to serve as executive director of Clermont Senior Services for the past 18 years. Lois was a friend and mentor from the first day I met her in the spring of 1978. Over the years I’ve laughed, cried and marveled as I’ve listened to the stories of staff and friends in the community whose lives Lois touched. Many of the employees she hired 20 to 30 years ago still work at Clermont Senior Services, and all of us continue to be inspired by Lois’ dedication to “helping others help themselves,” which was the motto she lived by. Shortly after my arrival at Senior Services in 1991, I visited one of the senior centers and an older woman asked if I was Lois’ son, thinking this might be so because we share the same last name of Brown. “No,” I replied, “but it would be a great honor if I were.” I’m honored and blessed to be numbered among those whose lives Lois touched. A private graveside service was held by the family. Friends and colleagues are invited to an informal visitation with family members from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 27 (Lois’ 92nd birthday) at the Lois Brown Dale Friendship Center (west wing of the YMCA), 2075 James E. Sauls Sr. Drive (formerly Front Wheel Drive). George Brown is the executive director of Clermont Senior Services.

The Milford High School football program started the 2008 season on a roll, winning four of its first five games. T h e Eagles could not sustain the hot start, dropping the Fagan last five games of the season to Fort Ancient Valley Conference opponents. The goal in 2009 is to start fast again, but this time finish strong. The Eagles will be led by a deep and talented junior class. Juniors Frank Sullivan, Shawn Taylor, and Nate Termuhlen will get plenty of touches from all over the field. Sullivan and Taylor will split time at quarterback, while Termuhlen will share the running back load with senior Reggie Carson. When Taylor is not lined up at quarterback, the run/pass threat will split out at wide receiver. “It is a luxury to have so many different weapons and depth at quarterback,” said head coach Pat Fagan. The depth at running back with Termuhlen and Carson is another luxury for the Eagles’ offense. Each player has been a varsity

The offensive skill players – running backs, quarterbacks, and receivers – will be the strength of an otherwise young Eagles team. The offensive line and the entire defensive unit will

be young and inexperienced. The inexperience has led to a competitive preseason camp, as several starting spots are up for grabs. “We are very young on defense,” Fagan said. “Camp has been more competitive than in years past.” Entering his third year as head coach, Fagan and his staff have enjoyed coaching an entire roster versed in this staff’s system. Much of camp the past two seasons was spent on installing new schemes and styles on both sides of the ball. Now, the coaches and players can focus on perfecting the playbook and adding some new wrinkles. “We are way ahead in the playbook at this point in camp compared to past years,” said Fagan. “We are able to spend more time on the finer details as opposed to the big-picture stuff.”

Goshen hopes to reclaim top spot By Adam Turer eastsports@communitypress.com

The Goshen High School football team will be more experienced in 2009 and hope to reclaim their spot at the top of the Southern Buckeye Academic Athletic Conference. The Warriors return 17 letter-winners from last season’s squad. The experience on both sides of the ball will be critical in the Warriors’

bid to improve upon last season’s 4-6 record. The Warriors are just two seasons Inabnitt removed from a 9-1 regular season mark and an appearance in the state playoffs. The goals for this year’s squad are to contend for the league title and get back to

the playoffs, head coach Nick Inabnitt said. “We need to minimize our turnovers, play good defense, and take advantage of opportunities when we get them on offense,” said Inabnitt, in his second year leading the Warriors. The offense will be led by senior linemen Nick Criddle, Sean Mott, Charles Murphy, and Dillon Elmore and junior lineman Jake Garrett. They will provide the push up front for the Warriors’ wing-T running attack and will provide protection for junior quarterback Alex Owens. Owens will be counted on to pass the ball more than Goshen quarterbacks of the past few seasons. “We’ll be throwing more this year,” Inabnitt said. “We’re doing a lot of things this year that we haven’t done before.” Owens and his backs and receivers spent the summer learning and practicing the expanded playbook. They participated in 7on-7 camps and are prepared to catch opponents off guard with their newly balanced offense. Receivers Matt Arnold, Corey Jurich, and Colin Radar will be charged with hauling in Owens’s passes.

Other returning letterwinners on defense include linemen T.J. Settles, Mike Brussman, and Austin Arnold and defensive backs Sam McAnich and Ryan Spence. The Warriors 5-3 defense will need to be strong to combat the potent rushing attacks of their SBC opponents. Junior inside linebacker

Taylor Rahm and senior defensive end Dillon Blevins will be expected to step up into bigger roles this season. Western Brown and New Richmond are the teams to beat in the SBC if the Warriors are to reclaim their title, said Inabnitt. The Warriors’ non-conference schedule features Little Miami, West Carrolton, and Ross. Goshen has experience and enters the 2009 season with a bad taste left over from last season’s losing record. Expectations are higher for the 2009 season. “We need to continue to improve on our execution of the offense and defense,” said Inabnitt. “We have experience and our kids know what we expect of them this season.”

The offense is expected to grind the football and keep opposing offenses on the sideline. “We wish we had some more team speed,” Brausch said. “We are not going to break too many big plays, but we’ll have to earn every touchdown.” The defense is led by junior linebacker David Brausch, junior cornerback Jacob Hacker, and senior linebacker Josh Hahn. There are six players battling for the four starting defensive line positions. Similarly, there are seven Rockets battling for the five

starting offensive line positions. Those who do not start initially will likely see playing time throughout the season. “We have depth on both lines,” the coach said. “They are all pretty interchangeable, and it might be a week-to-week decision as far as who starts. All of them will play.” The Rockets do not have depth at every position and will need to stay healthy at a few very key positions. While both lines will benefit from a deep rotation, the playcallers on both sides of the ball will be counted on to remain in the lineup each week. “We need to keep our quarterback and our linebackers healthy,” Brausch said. The leadership of the upperclassmen is expected to make a big difference in the Rockets’ quest toward a winning season. Last year, several sophomores were counted on to play big roles on a young team.

McNick eyes winning season By Mark Chalifoux

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

The McNicholas Rockets went 3-7 in 2008 but head coach Steve Klonne said he expects McNick to get back to winning ways in 2009. “We have Klonne five starters returning on offense, which should make us a better team offensively and the senior class has done a nice job of filling 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, thirdbest 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

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.

The offensive line has a pair of strong standouts in Division I collegiate prospects Jeff Tanner and Ali Kassem. Ball State-bound tight end David Schneider should be a big target in the passing game as Schneider led the Crusaders in receiving touchdowns in 2008. Wideout Trent Williford is another receiver with big play capabilities. On defense, the Crusaders will be led by a strong front seven. The defensive line is led by two Division I collegiate prospects, senior Marcus Rush and junior Jessie Hays. The linebackers for Moeller are led by another Division I collegiate prospect, Nick Galvin. Kendall Walker and Garret Mize are two more big-play linebackers for the Cru-

Rodenberg said the program puts a lot of pressure on itself to contend for a GCL title and a state title and that the Crusaders have their sights set on both in 2009. He also said that any team lives and dies with a senior class and that

Moeller’s class of 2009 is a good one. “I really like the senior class,” he said. “They are positive and determined. I’m really pleased with this class and fans are going to see a good football team.”

saders. Moeller also returns cornerback Ethan McAlpine, who was one of the leaders in interceptions in the GCL in 2008. The schedule will be tough again for Moeller in 2009. “People don’t call us ot play unless they are going to be pretty good,” Rodenberg said. “Our feeling is once we get to the playoffs, we are battle-tested.” Moeller has tough games against Lakewood St. Edward and Winton Woods as well as a tough GCL slate. Elder is looked at as the other power in the GCL South in 2009, but Rodenberg said fans shouldn’t sleep on St. Xavier. “St. X has a chip on their shoulder and that scares me,” he said. “They aren’t used to struggling like they did last year and will come out guns blazing. Watch out for them.” Rodenberg said the 2009 Crusaders will be bigger, especially in the trenches and that the year of experience with the players has helped everyone get used to his system. “Everyone knows where they fall in and where to go,” he said. “I’ve been real pleased with how things have worked out.”

The 2008 Moeller Crusaders had a lot of questions heading into the first season under new head coach John Rodenberg. The 2009 Crusaders have considerably fewer as Moeller returns a considerable Galvin amount of Division-I caliber talent and boasts a strong senior class, making the Crusaders one of the top Rush teams in the city. “We’ve worked awfully hard in the weight room and the seniors have been great leaders in the winter and summer. With all the returning starters, we hope to have a lot of success,” Rodenberg said. The offense should be balanced and will be led by Notre Dame-bound Andrew

Sports Complex to open in Sept. Nothin’ but Net offers five courts By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com

Local athletes seeking indoor facilities won’t have to look far when Nothin’ but Net Sports Complex at 4343

Mt. Carmel-Tobasco Road opens its doors in September. The facility promises to have a quintet of high school size courts for basketball and volleyball constructed of hardwood and is currently being renovated by its new owners, Dan and Angie Albrinck. The building was former-

Where: 4343 Mt. CarmelTobasco Road. What: Indoor athletic facility with five high school size hardwood courts for basketball and volleyball. When: Opening near the start of September for 2009 fall season. Activities: The facility will play host to a number of activities including youth basketball and volleyball leagues for boys and girls, hourly court rentals, adult volleyball leagues, volleyball camps, basketball camps and private training sessions. Contact: For details about the facility or league registration call 528-1000 or visit www.nbnsportscomplex.com

The facility will host youth basketball and volleyball leagues. Hourly court rentals, adult volleyball leagues, volleyball camps, basketball camps and private training sessions will also be available. ly home to lumber companies including Andres Lumber and Stock Building Supply. Dan, an Anderson Township resident, suspects the shift from lumber warehouse to hardwood courts will benefit the entire community, he said. “There really isn’t a place to play on the east side of town. Right now my boys are in a basketball league in Mason,” Dan joked. “Once you’ve been driving all the way out there with 10 parents on each team for a few years then you figure there has to be a better way.” The couple decided “a better way” in this instance would necessitate a move on their part. Dan and Angie have four children ranging in age from the eighth grade to a 6month-old baby and the pair wasn’t looking to travel to Mason each week for the next 15 years. The Albrincks started looking for a facility before Christmas last year when they discovered a former warehouse for sale at 4343 Mt. Carmel-Tobasco Road. The couple closed on the property Friday, June 12, and promptly began renovations Monday, June 15. “We didn’t waste a minute. We were there at 7 a.m. Monday morning with six subcontractors,” Dan said of streamlining the process. “We are going to be open for the fall season.” The facility will host youth basketball and volleyball leagues for both boys and girls. Hourly court rentals, adult volleyball leagues, volleyball camps, basketball camps and private training sessions will also be available. “We expect to see over 700,000 guests a year at the facility once at full capacity and I think we will get there really quick,” Dan said. “It’s going to give everyone a place to play near home. “It’s something great for the whole east side I think,” Dan added. “We’ll have 130 games every weekend at full capacity.” Dan is also contemplating the inclusion of futsal leagues, a small-scale version of soccer played on fields of similar size to basketball courts.

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

its own food service for guests, so they can spend their entire visit immersed in solitude if they wish, surrounded by tall trees, huge rocks, the castle‘s own hiking trails and plenty of peace and quiet. 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.
