Superintendent response

kreddy@communitypress.com

A book on Wyoming High School’s summer reading list has brought a formal complaint from one family and prompted a district response on the school’s Web site. “The Bookseller of Kabul” by Asne Seierstad is a nonfiction novel of life in Afghanistan. Two passages were noted by a parent who opposed the book, which was required reading for all incoming 10th-graders. Jennifer Ogle of Wyoming wrote that the book “exposes children to objectionable sexual content” and “interferes with the healthy psychosexual development of children.” Her suggestion was to withdraw it from all students or “move this book to the optional list and inform parents in advance of the objectionable sexual content and its graphic nature.” High school Principal Aaron Marshall responded in writing to the formal complaint, obtained by the Tri-County Press. As part of Marshall’s response to Ogle, an official form was filled out, referring the matter to a staff committee and noting a conference with the complainant and contact with Superintendent Gail Kist-Kline.

A magical place

There is magic in your childhood memories, and when your youthful experiences were like a Tom Sawyer adventure, you feel a special tug in your heart. In 1955, the Rettig family moved to Wyoming via Pennsylvania and College Hill, and became party central to the neighborhood. SEE STORY, A2

Wyoming City School District Superintendent Gail Kist-Kline upheld the school’s decision to require incoming sophomores to read “The Bookseller of Kabul.” She e-mailed this statement to The TriCounty Press: “The Wyoming schools encourage parents to follow a process in communicating their ideas or concerns. “Parents are first encouraged to speak with the classroom teacher to determine a mutually agreed upon solution. If a concern cannot be resolved, the parent should speak to the principal, followed by discussion with the superintendent if the concern still exists. “In the case of an objection to instructional materials such as textbooks, library books, reference books or other instructional aids used in the district there is also, by Board of Education policy, a formal process in place. The Board of Education, after public review, approves textbooks but not other materials. “After one parent raised a formal In notes regarding a resolution, Marshall wrote: “1) Uphold findings of review committee 2) Direct link on front page of district Web page 3) Follow up with letter to incoming sophomore parents/enclose book rationale generated by English

objection, ‘The Bookseller of Kabul’ by Asne Seierstad was reviewed through this process and found to be appropriate. It is aligned with the World Literature focus of English10/Honors and with the Social Studies curriculum in World Studies II. “As a result, however, students now have three alternatives to choose from if they or their parents are uncomfortable with the initial selection. Students will not be penalized for selecting an alternative reading and, in fact, are encouraged to do so if there is an objection. “A letter from High School Principal Aaron Marshall was sent to all incoming sophomore parents at the end of last school year providing an in-depth review of the book, explaining the rationale for selecting the book, and listing alternative readings. “Parents were encouraged to contact the English Department chairperson if they wished an alternative selection for their child. As of several weeks ago, one parent had requested an alternative book.” Department.” An asterisk at the third point noted: “Book lists were sent out prematurely before review process was complete.” A follow-up e-mail with questions to Marshall and Kist-Kline

about the book went unanswered. Kist-Kline did provide a response to an earlier request for comment. “The Wyoming schools encourage parents to follow a process in communicating their ideas or concerns,” she said First, they are asked to speak with the child’s teacher. If that doesn’t resolve the concern, the parents should speak with the principal and finally the superintendent if needed. She said the Board of Education approves textbooks, but not other materials. The district did offer alternative reading if parents don’t want their children to read “The Bookseller,” and Marshall sent a letter to parents of incoming sophomores that included a review of the book and the school’s rationale for choosing the book. Alternative reading was listed and parents were encouraged to contact the school if they chose an alternative book. Information about the reading program can be found at wyomingcityschools.org.

Cancer crusade holds strong By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com

Efforts to raise funds for cancer research brought volunteers to Sharonville’s annual charity festival in July, but results have been mixed when it comes to donations. Alex’s Lemonade Stand, an effort powered by several Sharonville girls raising money to benefit childhood cancer research, has set up the stand fewer times over the past year, mostly because the girls have fuller schedules. “As they get older, they are busier,” said Raquel Scott, whose daughter, Allison, volunteers. In 2008, the girls raised $4,127 for the foundation named for Alexandra Scott, a Connecticut girl who started her own lemonade stand at age 4 to raise money to help her doctors find a cure for the rare cancer from which she suffered. She died at age 8. This year, at the festival that ran July 25-27, the Sharonville girls raised $296.86 over three days. They sold lemonade for 50

cents a cup, and accepted additional donations. The girls wear shirts adorned with a lemon pattern, and serve the drinks on a table decorated with a lemon pattern. In 2008, donors could write their names on the lemons, and Scott said some returned over the weekend to find their names. “The goal was to fill the table with names, and they did,” Scott said. “That was fun to see.” Another booth at the festival was set up by Sarah Welch, who was raising money for breast cancer research. Hers was pure pink, the signature color for the Susan G. Komen For the Cure Foundation. Welch is suffering from cancer, but is trying to raise $4,600 so she and her husband, Kim, can participate in the Susan G. Komen For the Cure three-day walk in Philadelphia in September. She has been training and trying to collect donations for several months, but has been frustrated by the lukewarm response. “It just saddens me how many women and men are affected by breast cancer,” Welch said. “I

She did get some response, however. The festival brought $350 in donations over the three days, and she received donations from Riley’s Restaurant and Frame

USA, as well as from 37 other private donors. “Walking this walk meant a lot to me,” she said of the three-day event she fears she may not be able to participate in if she doesn’t reach her goal. “I trained when I felt awful,” Welch said. “But I just wanted to do my small part to help find a cure for this wretched disease.” Welch said that if everyone gave a little, it would mean a lot. “If everyone in Springdale had donated $1, we would have surpassed the minimum goal (of $4,600),” she said. “Now, that would have been a dream come true.”

Princeton breaks bread with Something old business leaders, public officials is something By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com

School administrators, local business leaders and public officials shared ideas over breakfast at Princeton High School in an attempt to begin a partnership between the district and the communities it serves. The event, Aug. 11 in the school cafeteria, brought public officials from Springdale, Glendale, Sharonville, Evendale and Lincoln Heights to the table, along with business leaders and district staff members. The school’s color guard got the program started, and student Daejah Alexander sang the Star Spangled Banner, a cappella. Alexander, along with three other students also read poems they had written. Superintendent Gary Pack summarized the student body, which is 57 percent African American, 10

percent Hispanic, 25 percent Caucasian and eight percent other nationalities, as “the most diverse school district in southern Ohio.” He also reminded the crowd of about 50 that Princeton is flying its banner of excellence high, referring to the recent rating achieved by the high school. He outlined three goals: • continue the district’s school improvement plan, “so all schools can be excellent;” • focus on school safety and security. “The high school is 53 years old,” Pack said. “It has its issues with safety and security, and the building across the road (Princeton Middle School) has as many issues if not more.” • align resources to support what the district wants to accomplish. One way to do that is to build partnerships with the

communities that Princeton serves, he said. “We want to strengthen our relationship with all of you,” Princeton High School Principal William Sprankles said to the business leaders and public officials. He invited local businesses to attend future cookouts and breakfasts for round-table discussions. “When students go out into the business community, what is it that they need to know how to do,” he said, asking for input on what the school could do “to grow tighter with the business community.” Two of the mayors who attended the session said it was time well spent. “I’m very impressed with the quality of the presenters,” Glendale Mayor Joseph Hubbard said. “Especially the students.” Springdale Mayor Doyle Webster said a school district-community partnership

benefits everyone. “It’s wonderful,” he said. “I like to see the school reach out to the business community.” Evendale Councilman Doug Lohmeier said it was a good idea that was a long time coming. “We need to develop the support of the community to make this work,” he said, “to create a bond and general support for the schools.” “It’s a great opportunity to mix it up,” Evendale Councilman Stiney Vonderhaar said, “and reach out to the community and elected officials.” This wasn’t a one-time event, Sprankles said. Developing partnerships with local businesses and governments will help provide the tools and resources students will need, he said. “We have to do a better job of working with them,” Sprankles said, “and hope they embrace us.”

turned out to be a fighting rooster. He was so aggressive, they used to throw food at him and quickly shut the door. Some 10-20 different animals, including skunks, found their final resting place in the back yard. The Rettig parents not only embraced their children’s activities, but were active in the community as well. Martha was a gracious hostess who enjoyed her children’s company, and encouraged their activities. Fittingly, in 2008 she donated to The League For Animal Welfare. Max was a decorated WWII veteran, 1983 Eagle Scout Honoree, president of the Dan Beard Council, active in the American Red Cross and United Way, and had a great sense of humor. When the children took Chips upstairs and couldn’t get him back down, dad came to the rescue and pushed him down the back stairs. Today, there is a Max and Martha Rettig room in the new Boy Scout building in Evendale. Late in life the senior Rettigs moved to an assisted living facility, but Martha

dearly loved her home and insisted they return. Court converted the first floor for their living quarters, where Martha was content to remain until her death last year. Granny, Martha’s mother, lived with the family and was very important in her grandchildren’s lives. After her death, they saw her ghost from time to time. “People say a ghost leaves when you remodel a house. We never saw her again after we converted the garage into a family room.” Dianne said she asked the ghost to leave, and it did. The daughters reminisced about sitting on the roof and watching fireworks from Coney Island. During the brief time it sat unoccupied until it was purchased, Debbie was fearful that the house would be razed. She is pleased that it will be a bed and breakfast. It is a beautiful threestory structure full of character and great memories, not only for the Rettigs, but also for the neighborhood. Anyone who attended Wyoming High School in the 1960s remembers subdeb and graduation parties and swimming there. When Debbie returned home in 1991, football coach Bernie Barre told her he remembered an initiation party in their basement.

new at Glendalia By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com

For those who want to find something new that’s old, or those who want to clear their homes of the old, a Glendale business owner has opened a consignment shop. The Glendalia, owned by Iron Horse restaurant owner Robin Thomas, is filling with anything from living room sofas and fine china to artwork and unusual lamps. It even has a pig from the Big Pig Gig, designed by Glendalia manager Calista Bockenstette. It has a “Madame Butterfly” theme from the Cincinnati Opera production where Bockenstette formerly worked as a scenic painter. Shoppers will find home items such as dishes, lamps, table linens, hand-stitched quilts and other accessories. The shop is furnished with sofas, coffee tables, side tables, dining sets and even a chaise lounge. One side room is set up as an office, with the entire desk and storage set, in

cherry wood, for sale. Tables are adorned with lamps from Armani to Bengals. “It’s eclectic,” Thomas said of the inventory, which changes unpredictably as consignments are accepted. To include a piece in the shop, sellers have to be accepted. Thomas said. “We’re being selective because we want quality,” she said. “We don’t want it to be garage sale stuff.” Bockenstette encourages sellers to bring in a photo if the piece is too large to carry. They discuss the value and set a price. Typically, sellers sign an 90-day contract with Glendalia, which gets 30 percent of the price when the item is sold. Bockenstette said her challenge is to stop herself from buying inventory herself. “The hardest part is I want to take everything home with me,” she said. The shop, at 12 Village Square, is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

How is your financial health? One easy way to assess your financial health is to determine your debt-toincome ratio. Start with a list of all your debts including mortgage, car payments, loans, credit cards, etc ... Next, tally the minimums due each month. Then, tally the month’s income after taxes, insurance and other deductions. To find the ratio, divide the debt total by the income total. For example, a debt total of $1,100 divided by an income total of $3,500 yields a debt-to-income ratio of 31 percent. Those in “fair health� have ratios of 24 to 38 percent, but even they may face real hardship if incomes suddenly drop or major health issues arise. If you are in this range, you want to build savings to be ready such emergencies. Those in “excellent� (15 or less) or “good� (16 percent to 23 percent) health

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” 3) “Why do kids today wear their baseball caps the wrong way round? asked someone wearing his peakforward. “Two reasons,” said

Kipling … First, you need ask yourself what signals a male needs to transmit to a potential mate in order to advertise his suitability as a source of strong genetic material, more likely to survive than that of his competitor males. One answer is brute physical strength. Now, consider the baseball cap. Worn in the traditional style it offer protection against the sun and also the gaze of aggressive competitors. By turning the cap around, the male is signaling that he doesn’t need this protection: he is tough enough to face the elements and the gaze of any who might threaten him. Second, inverting the cap is a gesture of non-conformity. Primates live in highly ordered social structures. Playing by the rules is considered essential. Turning the cap around shows that the male is above the rules that constrain his competitors, and again signals that he has a superior strength. Julian Baggini “The Pig That Wants To Be Eaten” 4) For the first time in human history belief in God has become implausible in Western civilization, and to the very same extent it had been plausible for earlier generations. As a result, the religious believer is in a defensive position. He knows his belief will

be challenged and that if this happens, he will have to explain himself either in Father Lou religious Guntzelman terms that more often Perspectives than not irritate the other rather than enlighten him, or in secular terms that are not adequate for expressing transcendence. Therefore, you may expect people to draw back from talking about their religion and their spirituality, and to be afraid of encountering incomprehension if not down right rejection. Agneta Schreurs “Psychotherapy and Spirituality” 5) If spirituality has any single benchmark it is naturalness. Another seems to be the slow but steady erosion of self-consciousness.

How to pickle that peck of peppers

When I go out to the garden to pick peppers, I think of Nell Wilson, along with my sisters S o n i a E r v i n , Christine Lawson and Edith Hartwell. Nell is Ron Wilo n ’ s Rita smom. Ron Heikenfeld is our garRita’s kitchen d e n i n g columnist and I met Nell years ago when I was a guest on Ron’s radio show. Nell’s pickled pepper recipe is one of the best. Sonia, Christine and Edith were the first of my sisters to learn to make pickled peppers from my mom. Mom made big batches of everything. Nell’s version is for smaller batches, which are more doable for most of you. Even if you’ve never canned, I hope you try a batch. You’ll be glad you did when you compare the price of pickled peppers with home canned. The bonus is they make great gifts from the kitchen, and you know exactly what’s in them.

Nell Wilson’s famous pickled peppers

*I make this with a mixture of mostly hot peppers. I usually don’t add 2 cups sugar; I’ll start out with half a cup, taste the brine, and go from there. (Someone told me you could also use Splenda). If you have extremely hot peppers, though, the 2 cups of sugar is not too much. My sister, Christine, makes my mom’s big batch version of these and uses no sugar at all so it’s up to you. As far as the yield, I don’t remember! It depends on the size of the peppers, whether you use quart or pint jars, etc.

Dangers of smog are easy for everyone to see It thrives during summer. You can barely see it coming, but at its worst it has been known to kill. It is particularly dangerous for children, the elderly and people with respiratory problems, but it does not discriminate – affecting every person it comes into contact with. What is this silent pollutant? Smog. The word itself comes from a combination of smoke and fog, two things that have a similar look to smog’s hazy appearance. However, the white vapor that makes up smog is actually a form of air pollution. “Smog is a very serious issue in our region, negatively affecting the health of our residents and the environment we live in,” said Steve Pendery, president of the

If a parent believes a book on their child’s summer reading list contains objectionable content, what should they do? No responses.

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.

Sometimes the teacher did it and saved the principal the bother. Needless to say there were very few kids that acted up! But, lookout when he left the room as the spitballs and erasers went aflying. I still stay in touch with several school friends from fourth-grade.” Duke “I remember teachers and other staff who encouraged me, challenged me and helped equip me with tools for life. I remember a few teachers and staff who contributed very little to my education. I learned life lessons from both groups.” G.G. “My favorite and least favorite memories of school will be shared next week at Amelia’s 45th high school reunion. The dusty yearbook is never near-right and due to my age or whatever, a few less seats will be occupied at our reunion. “Personally and back then as a transfer for Withrow to Amelia – school was just great in sharing with my ‘first serious girl’ all the times in school activities, living for the moment, finding a haven of sorts in Witham Woods and looking forward to the weekends. “Least favorite memories include sitting in government class in November of 1963 and hearing over the school PA system that our president was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. “Also of memories back then was a paper required of a troubled country and of our early involvement. The country was Vietnam. I eventually went on to participate at the expense of higher education. I don’t remember my grade on the assignment, but I know the assignment to Vietnam changed my life. “When I look back, school of our age deserved innocence and growth. So many were cut short at an early age regardless of my so many fortunate memories.” J.W.

layer, but when ozone is close to the ground it is labeled as groundlevel ozone or “bad” ozone. Smog and ground-level ozone are both created when heat and sunlight react with vehicular and industrial emissions, causing dangerous effects on people’s health and the environment. Smog affects the lungs’ working capacity, making it harder to breath. It can cause shortness of breath, pain, wheezing and coughing as well as nose and eye irritation. Inhaling smog can create longer-lasting health problems, such as, chronic inflammation of lung tissue, increased respiratory symptoms, heart attacks, lung disease and chronic bronchitis. Throughout the year, air pollu-

tion levels are monitored. When there are high levels of emissions in the presence of sunlight or high temperatures, a smog alert is issued to warn individuals of the pollution. Local media outlets announce when a smog alert is in effect – but smog alert information can also be found by calling 1-800-621-SMOG. Residents can also sign up to receive an e-mail or fax alert by calling the number. Smog is particularly harmful for children, the elderly and people with asthma or respiratory problems because their lungs are more sensitive to air pollution. It is recommended that these groups limit outdoor activity during smog alerts. There are also a variety of ways to reduce individual air pollution.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Signs needed for college

The city of Springdale would do well to install uprights and signage up and around Pictoria Drive, to direct visitors staff, students to and from their first new college in 2009, Beckfield College. Anyone driving away from Beckfield College is now on their own to discern which way to exit, as the most direct one dead ends currently into a do not enter area proximate a retail parking lot. Uprights and signage directing motorists to the proximate West Crescentville Road, or Dixie Highway/Route 4 to Interstate 275, Exit 41, options would certainly aid the traveling public especially for those not familiar with this current arrangement. A promise made to me months ago by a city administrator to follow up resulted in no known requested action to be undertaken and the situation remains the same.

About letters & columns

We welcome your comments on editorials, columns, stories or other topics important to you in The Tri-County Press. Include your name, address and phone number(s) so we may verify your letter. Letters of 200 or fewer words and columns of 500 or fewer words have the best chance of being published. All submissions may be edited for length, accuracy and clarity.

Letters, columns and articles submitted to The Tri-County Press may be published or distributed in print, electronic or other forms. On a related note, since this college borders a major interstate highway, Exit 41, traveling eastbound and/ or westbound, there is not signage indicating that this is the most proximate exit to reach Beckfield College. Hopefully, working together, the city, county, state and federal goverments and their agents may locate some funding to install uprights and signage to and from this location from and to the inter-

Defending ‘clueless husbands’ Is it just me, or has there been a sudden surge in advertising that portrays men, particularly young husbands, to be ignorant, gullible yahoos that are easily guided through life by cunning spouses who manipulate them like puppets? The most recent to catch my eye comes from Wal-Mart. It shows a wife arriving home with steaks. A bumbling and apparently mute husband hovers around the periphery of the scene, while the wife explains that since they don’t eat steak often, he is confused and wonders if it is an anniversary, her birthday or – get this – his birthday, which would warrant such culinary excess. She decides to let the poor, apparently brainless husband keep trying to guess. With breathtaking frequency, husbands are depicted as inept, incompetent and amusing to those “in the know” i.e. the female spouse. This kind of humor is quite in vogue among the makers of commercials. Exactly why they choose to depict husbands this way is a mystery. My guess is that it is easy to write an ad that demeans one character to make another (the target) look smart, because they chose the product the advertising is selling. Since demeaning a particular race, religion or indeed females is

decidedly off limits (and for good reason, I might add), husbands provide a soft target that spans across social groups. The question Bruce Healey is, do we have Community to demean anyto sell a Press guest one product? columnist Plenty of advertising works perfectly without putting anyone down except the competition. Do we need to portray a husband as an imbecile in order to peddle cheap steaks? Do wives have to appear cunning and manipulative to sell diet yogurt? Of course not. It is just easy to get a smile that way, and with a smile perhaps a sale, which reinforces the message from the advertisement. As an accomplished, educated professional who opted to become a stay-at-home father and househusband 11 years ago I find these depictions of husbands as marginally mentally handicapped, incapable of changing a diaper or incompetent in the kitchen to be vaguely offensive, shallow and decidedly out of touch. Most happily married people I know are proud of the fact that they share tasks and responsibilities in the home.

I find these depictions of husbands as marginally mentally handicapped, incapable of changing a diaper or incompetent in the kitchen to be vaguely offensive, shallow and decidedly out of touch. They are happy to be capable enough to perform each other’s roles in domestic life. Indeed, for working couples, one of the cornerstones of happiness is the ability to interchange parts of the daily routine with each other, in order to ensure the smooth running of the household. Instead of celebrating the increasing equality between spouses (and I know we have a way to go before this is universal), these advertisements hark back to time when inequality and prejudice spawned a similar kind of humor, used to sell products then as well. Sadly, the only thing that has changed in the mind of these Neanderthals of the advertising world is the fall guy: denied access to some stereotyped minority, they have targeted the average husband. The stereotype they are creating is not true in this case, either. Bruce A. Healey is a resident of Blue Ash.

talent returning. “Our team speed is pretty good and we have more experience coming back,� he said. The team returns 14 starters from a 2008 team that went 7-3. Among the returning playmakers is junior quarterback Kyle Seyfried, who set school records for completion rate and passing yards in 2008. Isaiah Nearor and Drew Perry are competing for the starting running back slot and the team returns a trio of talented wideouts – Jonathon Tighe, Harry Meisner and Evan Aleshire. Meisner was injured and missed 2008 so Barre is excited to see what a healthy Meisner can add to the offense. On defense, Wyoming returns phenom lineman Jibreel Black, who is headed to Indiana after finishing high school. Wyoming also

returns Jacob Allsop, a threeyear starter at corner who led the Cincinnati Hills League in interceptions in 2008. Jared Frost is another returning corner for Wyoming. The Cowboys strength on defense will be on the line with Black, Tony Davis, Tommy Campbell and Eric Price. The Cowboys have a tough schedule out of the gate with a game against CHCA, a team that went 10-0 in 2008 and went to the playoffs. Wyoming will be looking to avenge an early season loss to the Eagles in 2008. The Cowboys also play Dayton Oakwood and Norwood, which is supposed to have its best team in the past few years. Barre called Indian Hill the favorite in the CHL, seeing as how the Braves have won four consecutive titles. “It’s been four years since we’ve won a league title and our guys have been talking about bringing that CHL championship back. It’s definitely a motivator for them,� Barre said. “They are working hard to bring that back and to get to the playoffs.�

Moeller eyes GCL, state titles in 2009 By Mark Chalifoux

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

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 amount of Division-I caliber talent and boasts a strong senior class, making the Crusaders one of the top

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 Hendrix. Hendrix threw for 1,609 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2008. Running

backs Richie Dyer and Jeff Aubin combine to provide a talented running game for the Crusaders as the duo led the Moeller ground attack in 2008. 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 Crusaders. 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.

Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy senior quarterback Alec Swartz threads another pass during quarterback drills.

CHCA looks for repeat in MVC By Tony Meale

tmeale@communitypress.com

The Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy football team returns a dozen starters – six on offense and six on defense – from a squad that steamrolled through the 2008 regular season unblemished en route to an 11-1 finish. Senior quarterback Alec Swartz is back under center for the Eagles’ high-octane offense, which scored just under 33 points per game last year. Swartz, who threw for more than 2,000 yards as a junior, earned All-State honors and was named the Cincinnati Enquirer Division V Player of the Year.

H e appears primed for another big s e a s o n , especially since his top Coach Eric Taylor target, senior A n d r e w Perkins, returns at wide receiver. Perkins, a firstteam all-state performer, led the team in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns last season. “We return the majority of our skill position players from last year’s team,” head coach Eric Taylor said. The Eagles’ defense, which allowed nine points or fewer six times last year, figures to be stout yet again, as the team’s top tacklers –

seniors Doyen Harris and Jake Schomaker – are both back at linebacker. The special teams, with senior all-state kicker Joe Reifenberg and senior allstate punter John Lloyd, may be the best in Ohio. “Our special teams will be very strong,” said Taylor, who led his team to a Miami Valley Conference championship last year with a 7-0 record in league play. The Eagles hope to avoid a letdown like the one they suffered in 2008 – a 20-10 loss to West Jefferson in the second round of the playoffs. “We will be inexperienced in line play and will need to develop quickly to achieve our goals,” Taylor

said. “Our players have worked hard in the offseason in hopes of moving further this postseason.”

Spartans small in numbers, big in goals By Tony Meale

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 Huxel 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

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.”

Club celebrates Universal Notre Dame Night More than 100 local graduates, friends, and supporters of the University of Notre Dame recently gathered for the Notre Dame Club of Greater Cincinnati’s annual Universal Notre Dame (UND) Night at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza. This annual UND Night tradition started in the 1924 with Notre Dame clubs around the country meeting on a single night to hear a live radio broadcast from campus. Now each of the 267 ND clubs worldwide is encouraged to schedule their own night and a speaker is sent from campus to offer a “State of the University” update and receive feedback from local graduates. This year, the Rev. William M. Lies, CSC, director of Notre Dame’s Center for Social Concerns, was the keynote speaker in Cincinnati. Kevin McManus (ND ’99) chaired the event. In addition to the update from campus, the program also featured the presentation of the club’s 2009 Award of the Year to Nicholas J. Schrantz of Montgomery, who earned a BA degree in sociology from

The Award of the Year is the club’s highest honor, recognizing a local graduate who has made extraordinary contributions to the community and Notre Dame, especially through the local club. Schrantz served as the club’s Community Service Chair from 1995-2005, planning and leading anywhere from four to twenty service projects each year, providing an opportunity

for members of the Notre Dame community to work with local organizations to assist those in need throughout the area. Schrantz and his wife, Megan, who also earned a master’s degree at Notre Dame in 1989, are the parents of Will, Andrew and Sarah. They are also involved in Scouting as well as community youth soccer,

The delay in passing the state budget resulted in a $28 billion loss. The downtown Cincinnati Public Library is the busiest in the country; attendees expressed hope that local libraries will not have to cut services. Guest speaker Alicia Reece, assistant director for travel and tourism, spoke of efforts to encourage both residents and visitors to enjoy all that Ohio offers. She passed out a 2009 spring and summer calendar of events as well as the official state planner. Both list extensive events that well illustrate the slogan, “Ohio, Too Much Fun For Just One Day.” The current focus is on intrastate tourism and to increase overnight stays. Reece reported that the department won both the Bronze and Silver Telly Awards.

The door was locked, so the July 27 town hall meeting at the Wyoming Civic Center got off to a late start. Nevertheless, State Rep. Connie Pillich, her chief of staff Eva Clark and volunteer Julie Brook persevered and Pillich began her presentation al fresco. Visitors were eventually admitted, and Pillich continued her report and answered questions. Pillich said she has learned a lot during her first congressional session. The $45 billion budget is the largest legislation under consideration; $35 billion is fixed by either court order or law, and the remaining $10 billion is for services for the elderly, libraries, child protection, etc … Of that $10 billion, $2 billion was cut in 2008, and Gov. Strickland cut another $3 billion. The racetrack slot machine issue will not be on the ballot. Pillich said that Strickland reluctantly endorsed this issue. In answer to Tommie Robertson’s question, the veterans’ bonus will be on the ballot.

of Israeli composer Shuki Levy, L.A.-based bookwriter Glenn Berenbeim, and Cincinnati native David Goldsmith, who served as the show’s lyricist. Goldsmith is a graduate of UC’s College-Conservatory of Music and of Cincinnati’s School for Creative and Performing Arts. “We are privileged to receive exclusive permission for this film screening due to its significant connection to our Cincinnati community,� said Howard Schwartz and Dick Friedman, presidents of the respective co-sponsors, in a joint statement. “The historic quality and strength of Cincinnati’s arts organizations and arts education formed the career of ‘Imagine This’ lyricist David Goldsmith.� Growing up in Cincinnati, Goldsmith was a writer and performer in the Children, Teen and Summer College Theatre and Stagecrafters’ performing arts programs at the JCC. He was a member of Cincinnati Boy Choir and was a Corbett Scholar at SCPA. After graduating from CCM, Goldsmith performed at Playhouse in the Park and he wrote and directed the local parody revue “Grilled Cincinnati� for the Showboat Majestic. Goldsmith’s career as a writer, producer and songwriter for television, film, video and theatre has spanned more than 20 years and has seen his work performed all over the world, from Korea to Australia, Costa Rica to Alaska. In addition to Goldsmith’s local connection, several of the production’s investors are from Cincinnati. “’Imagine This’ is a story that we believe must be told,� said local investor group representative Barry Finestone. Following the Aug. 26 screening, there will be a question-and-answer session with the show’s lead producer, Beth Trachtenberg, and Goldsmith. More information about the show is available at www.ImagineThisTheMusical.com. Admission is $10 per person and benefits the JCC and the Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education. Paid reservations are requested by Friday, Aug. 21. Call the Mayerson JCC at 722-7226 or mail a check to the Mayerson JCC, 8485 Ridge Road, Cincinnati, OH 45236.

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

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