Two unexpected projects at Colerain High School meant a flurry of activity as the school gets ready to welcome back students. Painters discovered that the caulk and some roofing materials in the high school’s distinctive curved entry canopies contained asbestos. Central Insulation Systems Inc. has been at the school this week, removing and sealing the asbestos that was discovered. Daniel Lawler, interim administrator of business services for the Northwest Local School District, said the asbestos abatement project will cost the district about $11,900. The other surprise was a crack in the concrete support beam under the weight room at Colerain High. Beneath the weight room is the locker room, restrooms and the tunnel from which the football team comes to enter Cardinal Stadium. Football coach Tom Bolden found a silver dollar sized chunk of concrete on the floor in the area, leading to inspections and the discovery of the cracks. A structural engineer was called in, and the district will brace

the support with an “I” beam and fix the areas where concrete has fallen. A portion of the floor in the weight room will also be replaced. Athletic director Dan Bolden said the floor will be reinforced with metal plates and plywood and a rubber flooring to better disperse the shock from the weights pounding the floor. Bolden said that area of the weight room was once used for small engine repair and welding by career center programs. “It’s taken a beating over the years,” he said. Cost for the project is about $10,300, Bolden said the work will not close down the weight room completely. “It’s a good thing, too, because it gets a lot of use,” he said. “Right now, the football team’s in there twice a week, and the off-season athletes want to be in there, as well.” The Northwest Local School District has spent almost $594,000 on summer construction projects in the district’s buildings, fixing roofs, blacktopping parking lots and making a number of renovations and repairs. Both of the late projects are expected to be complete before students begin classes on Monday, Aug. 31.

Ray Schaffer says he wishes he’d kept count of all the heads he’s had the pleasure to know. “I figure it’s about a quarter of a million, anyhow,” the White Oak barber says. “But now that I’m cutting three days a week, I am falling behind.” It’s a shame so many of those haircuts were at $1.50 and $1.75 a head. “Now we’re up to $13 bucks,” Schaffer said. Customer Frank Wingert is quick with a comeback: “You going to have a ‘roll the price back’ day?” he asks. And Schaffer, usually the one with the punchline, gets to laugh. Slight and quick in his New Balance gym shoes, Schaffer has been cutting hair for 50 years, and recently celebrated with a surprise party, sprung by his wife and kids to mark his golden anniversary. Customers got to enjoy doughnuts, chocolates and juice while they waited for their haircuts. Through the years, he’s seen it all: long hair, which dealt a blow to the business in the 1970s, the end of the shave in the 1980s and back to flattops and close cuts. A lot of his customers have

He likes to joke with his customers. “So one day, this fella’ is sitting in the chair for a haircut, and he reaches up and grabs his right ear. ‘Is this in your way?’ he asks me. And he takes it off!” Schaffer says. “If it had a little blood on it, I think
I might have passed out. We had a good laugh.” But when it comes to hair cuts, he is all business. “Best damn haircut in the world,” says Bill Hull who has been a customer since 1985, when he moved to White Oak. “Ray takes his time and it always looks perfect when he’s done. He takes pride in his work.” Schaffer does take his time, painstakingly evening up the sides and finishing it off just so. He says he is in no hurry to retire completely, even though he has cut back a little. “If you like something, you might as well do it,” he said. “Otherwise, that rocking chair might get you.”

Paddlers take to river in Fremont Cup By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
Rivers Unlimited launches the Fremont Cup this weekend, a paddling event on the Great Miami River. The race comes to Colerain Township Saturday, Aug. 22. This is the third year for the race, which began in 2007 as a celebration of Ohio’s first State and National Scenic River - the Little Miami. The event is named in honor of Mike Fremont, who founded Rivers Unlimited in 1972.
Like last year, there will be 5-, 10- and 19-mile races and a 5-mile float trip, all finishing up at Riverfront West Recreational Complex in Miamitown. Start times are staggered throughout the morning so that all paddlers will arrive in Miamitown in time to enjoy the riverside festival from noon to 3 p.m. Stephanie Ross, race director, says registration for the race was closed as of Aug. 15. This is the second year the Fremont Cup happens

on the Great Miami River, which has been called the “big ugly brother� of its scenic counterpart to the east. Aaron Rourke, trustee of Rivers Unlimited, Ohio's river protection organization said the Fremont Cup will highlight the efforts of Friends of the Great Miami, participants in Rivers Unlimited’s Adopta-Stream program and other individuals and organizations working to restore the river. He says he would like to see the township seek scenic river status for the Great Miami. Ohio's Scenic Rivers Program is designed to help
educate and protect scenic rivers. The day will begin with the start of the 19-mile Fremont Cup in Hamilton. The Friends Of the Great Miami 5-miler race and the recreational float will both launch from Obergiesing Soccer Complex, which used to be known as Dravo Park, in Colerain Township.

He joined the Colerain Township Business Association and Matevia is working on the annual golf outing Monday, Sept. 14, to support Colerain Township police and firefighters. Matevia is getting sponsors for individual holes in the golf outing, and soliciting door prizes. When he stopped by the Applebee’s Neighborhood Grille at Northgate he met up with Melissa McMullen. McMullen, who says she is a key employee with Applebee’s, sets up fundraising programs for local nonprofit groups.

Schools make plans for H1N1 By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com Common sense precaution is the prescription area schools will be using to deal with the potential for students contracting the H1N1 virus. Most local districts say they are looking to the Centers for Disease Control and the Hamilton County General Health District for guidance. Hamilton County Health Commissioner Tim Ingram will meet with the county’s school superintendents Aug.
21 to talk about prevention and plans in case of an outbreak locally. Mount Healthy City Schools Superintendent David Horine said his district followed CDC guidelines last year, and he is meeting with his administrative team to work on policies and procedures for the coming school year. “We will be following the lead of the county health department,� he said. “We will know a lot more after our meeting with the health commissioner.�

In the Northwest Local School District, head nurse Shonda Moore says her district is still working on policies and procedures for the district. She will conduct an in-service with the district’s nursing staff Aug. 25, and the H1N1 virus has a prominent place on the agenda. She says the CDC recommendations stress hand washing, don’t touch eyes, nose and mouth and avoid contact with people who have flu symptoms. Clean door knobs and table surfaces regularly and use good cough etiquette: don’t cover with your hand; use a handkerchief or your upper arm. Moore says once the district develops policies and procedures, they will be communicated to parents and students. Thomas Luebbe, La Salle High School principal, said his staff “will monitor recommendations received from the Center for Disease Control, and state and local public health officials concerning ways to appropriately respond to any flu 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 flu-like 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 response will be necessary during a more severe flu outbreak.� Representatives from other area schools said they are in the process of reviewing their plans to deal with a potential flu out-break. Janie Acra, the new principal at St. Bernard Catholic Elementary School, said she’s she is working to get a parent e-mail system up and running and will use that system to communicate the school plan to parents. “It’s direct and quick,� she said. “And it is easy to just shoot an e-mail out.� 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 surveillance 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. Heidi Fallon contributed to this story.
County also preparing for H1N1
Hamilton County Public Health will talk later this month to superintendents about the possibility of administering voluntary vaccinations in schools. Shots will be given in two doses, about three weeks apart, according to the CDC. “We would be working through the schools to get consent forms out, fact sheets, frequently asked questions, vaccination information sheets,â€? said Megan Hummel, public affairs specialist for Hamilton County Public Health. “We encourage schools to get a lot of information out to the parents. It’s the parent’s choice if they want their child to get vaccinated or not,â€? she said. The Cincinnati Health Department has already held two full-scale, point-of-distribution exercises at Cincinnati Public Schools, with help from community 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,â€? 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 flu-like illness, CDC recommends 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. For more information, go the Hamilton County Health Department’s Web site at www.hamiltoncountyhealth.org.

Leanora Roach, left, and Teri Mauntel will be greeting John Paul II School students Aug. 24 as the new principal and assistant principal.
There will be new faces on both sides of the desk as students head back to school across the community in the coming weeks. Students at several area schools will have new principals and assistant principals greeting them when they return to class. Northwest Local School District students return to class Aug. 31. Linda Dawes is the new principal at Welch Elementary, the Northwest district’s only primary building. The Northwest district has a number of new assistant principals this year: Jan Vanderplough at Pleasant Run Middle School, Adam Lohbeck at Monfort Heights Elementary School and Mary
Geisen at Struble Elementary. Local private schools also welcomed new administrators. Janie Acra takes over as the new principal at St. Bernard, stepping in behind Norrie Roach, who left to head John Paul II school in Springfield Township. McAuley High School’s also got a new principal, Chris Pastura. He said McAuley students were due back to school Aug. 18. And this will be the last year for Mount Healthy City School District elementary students in their current buildings. The district is on schedule to open its new facilities in the fall of 2010. Mount Healthy freshmen and seventh-graders start class Tuesday, Aug. 25 and the rest of district students begin classes on Wednesday, Aug. 26. 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.

Children in the Rex Ralph Elementary preschool class have been busy in a Reggio study group exploring concepts of time. The students have taken apart clocks, learned about minutes, created their own class sundial and even shadow-danced in the sun. As part of the study, they spent time gardening with help from the Cincinnati Horticultural Society, which donated a pot of dirt and seeds for each child to take home and start their own garden. Also helping out were Emmett Vinson, grandfather of preschooler of Keyshawn Forte, who donated herbs he hand selected at Findlay Market, and William Gaither, great-grandfather of student Na’Davion Gaither, who donated his time and tools to help the children see what is inside a clock. The Reggio study group is a group of teachers and administrators from Head Start who wish to follow the principles of Reggio Amelia, a school in Italy. The Reggio Emilia approach is based on the principles of respect, responsibility and community through exploration and discovery

Green Twp. endorses retail strip center Developer appeals By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Development along Harrison Avenue in Green Township, north of the Interstate 74 interchange, continues to boom. Good Samaritan Hospital recently broke ground on its new Good Samaritan Medical Center at Western Ridge, a 45,000-square-feet medical center featuring a mix of physician offices and a 24-hour emergency department on Harrison Avenue, and new developments are already proposed for around it. The Green Township Board of Trustees voted Monday, Aug. 10, to recom-
mend the Hamilton C o u n t y Rural Zoning Commission approve a zone change for 4.59 Goetzman acres of land at 6951 Harrison Ave., which sits across the street from the Good Sam site and directly north of the Take Five Bar & Grill. Ilia Corp. wants to build a 41,000-square-feet, twostory mixed use retail center with 104 parking spaces on the property. The site was already designated for retail use in the Green Township Land Use Plan. “The plan as submitted is
a relatively traditional strip center with parking in the front,” said Green Township Development Director Adam Goetzman. “It’s a site that was partially cleared four years ago, but has sat undeveloped since then.” He said the strip center would be about 450 feet in length, feature brick building materials and have an open plaza separating several smaller retail spaces from one larger retail space. He said the center could have as many as 15 or 20 retail tenants. Steve Leesman, an engineer working with the developer, said the small retail spaces on the north side of the center could also be used for offices, such as medical or dental, and the larger space to the south is for a restaurant. The developer is not identifying possible tenants, but the restaurant space will be occupied by a nationally-
franchised sit-down restaurant. Leesman said the center is being constructed on concrete piers due to the site’s terrain. Taylor Creek runs behind the proposed center, and constructing it on piers will prevent encroachment into the creek, he said. Constructing the center on piers also means the development won’t have to be positioned closer to Harrison Avenue, he said. “It will line up well with the building next door,” Leesman said. “We’re very happy with the way it is set up at this point.” Goetzman said the township’s endorsement of the project includes conditions requiring the developer to create additional streetscape and landscape buffering along Harrison Avenue, as well as landscaping treatments behind the building that are suited for riparian environments.

A developer who wants to turn a Colerain Township condo development into a group home for at-risk youth has taken his case to court. Charles Chris Smith, founder of New Beginnings Residential and Family Youth Services, operates one group home at his condo development at 6965 Colerain Ave. behind Royal Car Wash. He was denied permits for additional group home units and independent living opportunities for the youth as they turn 18 and transition out of the group home system. Susan Roschke, Colerain Township zoning administrator says Smith originally received approval for a 24unit condominium development and the group homes
constitute a major change to the final development plan approved by the Colerain Township Zoning Commission in June of 2003. Smith appealed Roschke’s decision to the Colerain Township Board of Zoning Appeals in May. That appeal was denied June 24. The BZA agreed with Roschke, saying the changes to the plan would need to go back to the township zoning commission. Smith and his attorney, Barrett Tullis, contended group homes are a permitted use in planned residential areas and the permits are being withheld because Roschke doesn't want group homes on the property. She says that’s not correct. The sides will meet with a magistrate Thursday, Sept. 10, to schedule the case.

the township has home rule it can enact some local legislation it could not in the past, such as establishing a street calming program and installing speed humps on township roads. “I think it would be better to call this a traffic calming program,” she said. “We are going to be able to install speed bumps there as a test case.” Winkler said residents of Monfort Heights Drive, which is off North Bend Road across from St. Ignatius Church, have raised concerns for many years about motorists who use the street as a cut-through to get to Boomer Road. “The residents have been concerned with the safety of the children on the street and just safety all around,” she said. “People tend to speed through that area.” Monfort Heights Drive residents Deborah Craddock and Ava Wickham said they oppose the township’s plan to put speed humps on their street. Both said they’ve been trying for several years to get the township to completely close the street to through traffic. “The speed bumps are not an acceptable alternative to closing the road,” Wickham
said. She said the road improvements and construction planned for North Bend Road will increase the amount of traffic on her street, as motorists will want to cut through to Boomer Road to avoid delays. “Speed bumps might help with a few speeders, but the traffic is going to get worse and worse,” Wickham said. “It’s not good enough. Our street should be closed for our safety.” Craddock added, “It’s too little, too late.” Green Township Public Services Director Fred Schlimm said the speed humps are a test case, and the township will monitor the speed humps for one year to determine their effectiveness. He said the township will place three speed humps on the street. The humps are 22 feet long and are a maximum of 3 inches tall at their highest point. “It should be a subtle disruption for motorists,” he said. Schlimm said the township must wait 30 days from the date the resolution was passed before installing the humps, which puts the estimated installation date at Thursday, Sept. 10.

This Virtual Career Event is sponsored by:
A family pet often presents a major challenge when a house is being marketed. This is a sensitive issue for a Realtor to communicate to sellers. Even though he is just “doing his job”, a dog’s bark will sound ferocious to anyone who is knocking at the door. This is usually a good thing, but when your home is on the market, Realtors will be bringing a lot of strangers to the door. Most Realtors are concerned about the unpredictability of dogs they don’t know. When a barking dog greets them, they may not be willing to enter the house unless the owner is at home. If your dog is confined to part of the house, such as a basement, be sure to put up a sign informing people of that fact. Talk with your Realtor about the best way to manage your pet whil your house is being shown, and make sure that this information is included in the MLS listing.

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, this news from outer space has sparked an Internet quest for the emotional and aesthetic significance of Bflat …” Elizabeth Michael Boyle “Science as Sacred Metaphor”

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 Sonia Ervin, Christine Lawson and Edith Hartwell. Nell is Ron Wilson’s mom. Ron is our gardening 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 n e v e r canned, I hope you Rita try a Heikenfeld b a t c h . Rita’s kitchen 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.
Bring brine to a boil. Let boil gently as you fill jars.
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.
Sterilizing jars
Wash canning jars and lids, then put jars in a big pan, covered with water. Bring to a boil and boil 15 minutes. (If your dishwasher is hot enough, use that to sterilize the jars). Keep in hot water until you’re ready to fill.
Brine
Nell Wilson’s pickled peppers recipe.
COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD
6 cups clear vinegar, 5 percent acidity 2 cups water 1 â „2 to 2 cups sugar (see note above)*
Prepare peppers
Wash. Leave whole with a slit down the center, or cut into slices as desired. I like to remove seeds if I slice them, but this is optional. Remember the membrane that the seeds are attached to is the hottest part of the pepper, and the seeds are the second hottest part. Place peppers in sterilized, hot jars, packing tightly. Pour boiling brine over, covering peppers. Add seasonings, such as garlic, bay leaf, herbs, etc. or leave plain. Wipe rims with wet cloth. Put lids on. No need to process these as the vinegar keeps bacteria out. Jars will seal on their own – you’ll hear little “pings� as the seal completes. Any that don’t seal just put in fridge. Chill in refrigerator before serving.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen
• The lids are a twoparter: a flat seal and a ring. The rings are reusable; the seals are not. • Video for pickling peppers on abouteating.com.

Even though I make decent money, I can’t seem to get ahead. Why is saving so difficult? The primary reason people fail to save is that it is so easy to spend. Indeed, you have hundreds of opportunities every day. To become a saver – and build financial security – you must make it a priority. Ideally, you would save 10 percent of your income for later needs. If that seems impossible, start with any amount, but pay yourself first. Another reason it’s tough to save is that saving alone seems abstract.

CH@TROOM What are your favorite and least favorite memories from your school days? “One of my favorite memories from school was of our plane geometry class. The teacher was a soft-spoken, patient nun and she made learning the subject really fun. “Least favorite memory would have to be the day when two of my classmates conspired to go to another classroom before school started and bring back a guy with whom I had an argument the previous day. “I was totally surprised when I looked up from my desk and saw them standing there. As I was standing up, he sucker punched me.” 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! If someone disrupted class by misbehaving they were sent down to the office and had their hands/bottom whacked! Sometimes the teacher did it and saved the principal the bother. Needless to say there were very few kids that acted up! But,

No to Monfort Heights Drive speed bumps
Once again, the Green Township trustees have said one thing and have done another. On June 2, Tracy Winkler informed residents of Monfort Heights Drive that the township would send postcards to our homes so that we could decide without “arm twisting” to accept or reject speed bumps. Ironically, two weekends ago our street was canvassed and residents were encouraged to accept speed bumps. Now we learn that the township has already voted to approve the speed bumps. No postcards have arrived. The story starts years ago. In November 2003, 45 of us appealed to the trustees to close our street. We presented reasons and evidence of ongoing danger to our children and ourselves. Briefly, our residential street and a section of Arrow Avenue are bordered by two heavily traveled county roads, North Bend and Boomer. Vehicles on both roads frequently avoid the light at North Bend and Boomer by turning onto our narrowest of streets without sidewalks, sometimes racing to beat the traffic. Much traffic from Bob Evans and St. Ignatius also comes on our street.
The trustees assured us they would soon contact us to meet with the engineers. The phone never rang. More recently, we became Michael J. involved in the Craddock development of a facility Community medical directly behind Press guest our homes. At a columnist meeting, with the Hamilton County commissioners, I addressed the issue of danger on our street. The commissioners directed the county engineer to conduct a traffic study and, at the onset, specifically rejected drive-through or “bleed off” traffic as justification to keep our street open. Green Township responded by hiring its own engineer instead of the county. The township called an “informal” meeting for June 2 without video for viewing on public access. While the functionaries said they were not opposed to closing the street, they wanted to look at other options. Fred Schlimm said our street was a good candidate for speed bumps.
Several objections were then given to closing the street that they weren’t opposed to closing. The objection that everybody would have to agree to the closing would comical (the rule serves the interests of the township bureaucrats) if there was not such danger on our street. Two additional factors will harm our street if it is not closed: The construction of Mercy Hospital on North Bend, bringing more traffic and a bus line of people and the alignment of the church’s main driveway exactly with our street. Does anybody believe that a “bump out” would stop traffic up and down our street? The township does not believe it. That’s why speed bumps are the option. Unless our street is closed, it will continue to serve as a bleed off from two county roads. Since the township does not think we are important enough to have our street closed, why not provide sidewalks for the safety of our children? Without a postcard, I will here send Green Township my “no thanks” to their speed bumps. Michael J. Craddock is a resident of Green 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 fever-free, without the use of fever-reducing 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 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 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 complica-

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.

Colerain ready for redemption By Tony Meale
On the team
tmeale@communitypress.com
Unfinished business. That’s the mantra the Colerain High School football team carries into the 2009 football season. And who can blame them? The last time the Cardinals were on the field, they fell to Elder 27-20 in double overtime in the Division I Regional Final, a game in which Colerain fumbled four times. “We’ve got a bad taste in our mouths,” head coach Tom Bolden said. “To not take care of the ball the way we did and to shoot ourselves in the foot, we definitely have some unfinished business.” Luckily for Colerain, they return all three components of their triple-option offense – quarterback Greg Tabar, running back Tyler Williams and fullback Trayion Durham. In 2008, the trio combined for 3,106 yards on the ground and 41 rushing touchdowns. Tabar and Durham both averaged nearly six yards per carry, while Williams averaged a gaudy 10.3. “It’s absolutely huge to have them back,” Bolden said. “(Durham and Williams) are only juniors, but the experience they bring is big.” The Cardinals also return a trio of playmakers on the defensive side – junior Jarrett Grace (ILB) and seniors Tyon Dixon (OLB) and Jovanta Harrison (S). Bolden, however, said he believes the key to the season lies in the trenches. “We’ve got to get better up front,” he said. “We’ll be

But the Cardinals aren’t looking any further than their date with the Bombers. “No disrespect to Elder, but we’re totally focused on our first game,” Bolden said. The Cardinals bested the Bombers 13-8 in their season-opener last year, as St. X finished 4-6 and missed the playoffs after winning two of the previous three state titles. But Bolden isn’t buying into the Bombers’ 2008 woes.

On the line, senior guards Tim Keller and Jake Keller return for the Lancers though the boys are not related. At the skill positions, returning starters include junior receiver Matt Woeste, junior 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.

starters return for La Salle including end Keenan Gibbs, linebacker Joe Andrews, linebacker Tony Appiarius, linebacker Tony Trotta, corner Cameron Cole and safety Pat Bachman. Senior Dwight Hill and junior Zach Cox will make an immediate impact in the secondary, Grippa said. The Lancer coach was also quick to highlight the kicking game with senior punter Justin Paulinelli and junior kicker Alex Schuster both returning. “I think our defense and our kicking game is pretty solid,” Grippa said. “We think we are faster on defense and we were pretty good there last year. “(Justin and Alex) are good kickers and will help us a lot,” he said.

year. But with 25 seniors and 16 returning starters heading into 2009, the Neal Knights plan to put those previous struggles behind them. “This should be the year,” Neal said. Linebacker Preston Brown, who has committed to the University of Cincinnati, headlines the Knights’ senior class. Last season he forced four fumbles, had an interception, averaged 4.8 yards per carry and 11.1 yards per reception, and threw one pass – a 39-yard touchdown strike. “He’s the kind of kid you get to coach once every 15 or 20 years,” Neal said. “And we knew it the first day he walked in the doors.” Another returning standout is senior Kirby Famble,

Davis (OL), Devontae Ferguson (OL) and Ishmael Allen (DB/WR). Senior Carl
Huber (MLB) is also expected to contribute. “This is a special group with a lot of experience,” Neal said. This year the Knights hope to win their league, have a winning season and make the playoffs. In order to accomplish that, they’ll have to win back-to-back games for the first time

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 Fighting Owls strugCrouch gled 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.” Crouch said seniors Terrell Smith (OL/DL), Devin 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

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

tmeale@communitypress.com
MARK CHALIFOUX/STAFF
Linebacker/running back Solomon Tentman will be one of the standout players for the Roger Bacon Spartans in 2009.
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.
Huxel Fletcher “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 Tentman (RB/LB), who had a team-high seven sacks last year, and Jorian Hudson (RB/WR/QB/DB), who averaged 5.4 yards per carry and 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 great job for us and will play a lot.” Big games for the Spartans include showdowns with rivals McNicholas, Badin, Purcell Marian and defending Division-IV state champion Kettering Alter. “It’ll be a little tougher, but we want to win the league,” said Huxel, whose team finished second in the Greater Catholic League Central-division last year. “We think this year could be special.”

Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has

Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.
