Englewood bans Farm animals By Andrew Wilson Contributing Writer

ENGLEWOOD — Due to two cases regarding the housing of farm animals that came before the Englewood Planning Commission over the past several months, the City of Englewood Tuesday unanimously approved a bill to amend Chapter 1454 of the Property Maintenance Code and Chapter 618 to prohibit area residents from housing any livestock or farm animals. The first case involved two pigs on Southerly Hills Drive and required court action to have them removed. The second involved chickens on Overla Boulevard, and like the first case, the appeal to the Englewood Planning Commission was denied due to the fact that the zoning requirements did not permit the owning of such animals in a residential district. Prohibited animals include any pig, sheep, horse, cow, goat, beehive, chicken or any cloven-hoofed animal not already specified. The bill also includes “any other animal or animals traditionally maintained in an agricultural setting for animal husbandry, within the City.”

“The ordinance clarifies city policy regarding urban farm animals and provides less ambiguity as to exactly how a ‘farm animal’ is classified,” City Manager Eric Smith said. According to City officials, no property within City limits has been zoned for agricultural purposes and only one area, a lot located on West National Road, would be large enough to support livestock. The area is located near a residential subdivision and would not be an ideal location for farm animals. In other business, city council approved a resolution to authorize the purchase of upgraded security systems from Miles Ahead Technologies in Miamisburg at a cost not to exceed $99,000. The City, which has several security cameras mounted at intersections and on telephone poles near buildings, will be upgrading them to high definition to improve coverage capabilities. Cameras that will receive an upgrade include those located on telephone poles near Englewood Hills Elementary and Englewood Elementary. Other cameras include those located near the YMCA, Englewood Service

Center and several within the Englewood Government Center. “We are asking council to to approve some upgraded camera facilities here at the Government Center, which includes the desk,” Smtih said. “Which not only deals with violence, but also people who have a tendency to get agitated real easily.” Cameras located at Centennial Park and the Heck Center will be upgraded as well. Near the end of the meeting, city council approved a motion to donate $1,000 to the Randolph Township Historical Society. The donation was approved for the year 2013 and will be included in the City’s budget for 2014. During his report, Smith stated that Coate Construction is making significant progress on installing the new water line on Magnolia Drive. The project began in September and is nearing completion. At the beginning of the meeting, Mayor Patricia Burnside read a proclamation stating that the City of Englewood recognizes the efforts of the YWCA Dayton and the Artemis Center for their persistent work in helping to combat domestic violence.

Stephen Ministers commissioned at St. Paul ENGLEWOOD — On September 29 seventeen individuals were commissioned as Stephen Ministers at the 10:30 a.m. Mass at St. Paul’s Parish on Wenger Road. These men and women have completed 50 hours of intense training that began on April 15. They are representatives of the Tri-Parishs in the Northwest Region of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati consisting of St. Rita’s, Precious Blood and St. Paul’s Parish plus one individual from Englewood United Methodist Church. Stephen Ministry is a Christian listening ministry for those individuals who are going through some tough times in their lives such as loss off a loved one, loss of a job, serious health care issue, in process of divorce or sepa-

ration, etc. A Stephen Minister is there to listen to these individuals and walk with them on their journey. They are not there to solve your problems for you but walk with you as you learn to deal with the situation. It is a confidential ministry where a man meets with a man and a woman meets with a woman for about an hour a week to listen to their care receiver for as long as needed until they feel better about their particular situation in life. This is a service for our community not just our parishes. If you or someone you know would benefit from the services of a Stephen Minister please call one of the St. Paul Stephen Leaders, Mark Moorman at 276-5954 or Barb Franz at 836-4175.

OPINION It’s time for an intervention

The American public has lost patience with Washington. The question is, now what? Congress is unable to do its job. It displays neither competence nor responsibility. It lurches — reeling from crisis to crisis, each one self-manufactured in an effort to postpone the reckoning from some earlier crisis. It shut the government down over a temporary budget. Now it’s threatening the financial credibility of the U.S. government and the security and safety of the American people. Three years of last-minute spending decisions have culminated in a television standoff with no actual negotiations. Too many members of Congress reject the notion that accommodation and time-honored procedures allow them to fulfill their responsibilities to the American people. They use their

legislative skill to engage in brinksmanship rather than address the country’s fundamental problems. Economic growth? Creating jobs? Putting the federal budget on a sustainable path? Don’t look to Congress. They’re too busy coming up with the next shortterm tactic to confront the other side. Every day they dither, they keep the government from addressing the nation’s real problems. Even worse, they’ve managed to raise real questions in this country and abroad about whether our system of government can work. Are we saddled with a national legislature paralyzed by unending conflict? Are we capable of tackling our major problems? We are on the road to a government that cannot plan, a country shackled by perpetual uncertainty, and a loss of faith in our institutions both at

And they’re

not the only story like this. Ignorance of local talent is not limited to the entertainment world, however. Other professionals are frequently dismissed in their own communities as well; that is unless they achieve some wider attention and suddenly discover people stacked like cordwood on their coattails. The point here is that, regardless of the product or service needed, if civic and business organizations are going to practice what they preach, they need to utilize more local talent, and not just the big players on the block. Sadly, with so much “good-old-boy” nepotism at play, without some folks stepping outside the proverbial clique, this is unlikely to change anytime soon. When people do make the effort to connect with local providers, they tend to expect a lot of freebies or slashed pricing. That’s not only unfair, it’s downright disrespectful. For example, say a chamber of commerce wants to hire a local printer to help with event materials for a charity fundraiser. Often, the organizers want to exchange the work for advertising or sponsorship credits rather than paying the printer’s quoted rates. In most cases, local business will offer some kind of discount or even an exchange if given the opportunity, but it is disrespectful for the organizers to expect it. Your cause is not the reason the business owner opened his doors. Be prepared to pay for their services. It would be great if small businesses, local entertainers and other professionals were more appreciated and supported in their home regions. The long term rewards to the community could be unimaginable. Gery L. Deer is an independent columnist and business writer based in Jamestown, Ohio. More at www. deerinheadlines.com.

people to vote, and beating back the barriers to voting. The second solution lies with members of Congress. Contemplating a government shutdown, a Kentucky congressman recently explained his stance by saying, “All that really matters is what my district wants.” This is not an uncommon view, but it’s a distressingly limited one. Our system depends on members who believe it’s also their responsibility to lead and inform voters, who are willing to weigh the national interest as well as parochial concerns and who have confidence in our system to resolve political differences. In other words, we need members of Congress devoted to making the system work. We need men and women in office who understand that

when the voters give us a divided government, they have no choice but to accept the distribution of power and work with it, regardless of what they wish were the case. We need legislators who realize that those on the other side feel just as passionately and deserve their respect, and who are committed to finding a solution to our problems. We change laws in our democracy and solve our most difficult issues in this country not by bringing government to a halt, but by fighting out the issues before the voters in an election. At the end of the day, we have to move the country forward — and we need to elect members of Congress who are willing and able to do that. Lee Hamilton is Director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

Puns you might like

As I’ve said before, I love puns. Here are some I think you will like, too. A man rented a suite of rooms at a hotel and when he got inside he noticed there were 35 bottles of bitters on the table. He phoned the front desk and asked if someone could come to the room and take the bottles away. “Sorry,” said the hotel manager, “but you have to take the bitters with the suite.” An inventor invented a compass which he called a “Tates” but the compass always pointed in the wrong direction and the inventor said, “He who has a Tates is lost.” A noted surgeon was performing surgery one day before a large gallery of medical students and – at a very crucial point – another surgeon tapped him on the shoulder and said “May I cut in?” Two Eskimos sitting in their kayak got cold so they lighted a fire and when they did it burned a hole in the bottom of the

Letters to the Editor

Vice mayor urges voters to support current council at election To the Editor, The crisp air in the early morning alerts us to the fact summer is over and fall is here. With that brings the responsibility of all Americans the right to vote. I know many feel disillusioned with our Government both National and State at this time. I feel the frustration also. However, the citizens of Englewood should feel extremely lucky to have the government that they have. The city’s finances are in as good a shape as any city in the state of Ohio. The audits are clean and the city has no debt. The city’s infrastructure; the streets, the sidewalks, the curbs, the

water delivery system and the sewer system are all in excellent shape. The cost for water and sewer are the second lowest in Montgomery County, the police and the fire and rescue departments are among the finest in the state. Taxes have not been raised in over thirty years. Our city staff has more experience and expertise than most Ohio cities could ever dream of having. This is due in large part because of the manner in which the city council interacts with the city manager and his staff. Three members of this citycouncil are up for reelection. When you enter

the voting booth don’t be fooled by all the election signs around the city. It only takes money to purchase these signs. What you need to concentrate on is the experience and dedication of the three members of the current council who are up for re-election. I am asking the citizens of Englewood to join me in support of these current Council members: Judy Gerhard, Marlyn Flee and Mike Kline. These dedicated people have earned your support. Tom Franz Vice Mayor City of Englewood

Mayor feels voters should re-elect current council members To the Editor: As your Mayor, I am urging the citizens of Englewood to re-elect my fellow council members Judy Gerhard, Marlyn Flee, and Mike Kline on November 5. We work well together as a Council and we work well with the City Staff. As a result, Englewood is a well

run city. Streets, sidewalks and curbs are in good repair: cemeteries and parks are well maintained; sewer and water rates are among the lowest in the county; street lights are free; police fire and emergency response times are excellent; snow is plowed and streets treated in a

timely manner in winter. Remember when you vote on November 5 reelect Gerhard, Flee and Kline to Englewood City Council. As ever, it is a pleasure to serve as your Mayor. Patricia Burnside Englewood

Guess What is New in Reading? By Marianne Murray Guess

ENGLEWOOD — Everyone who reads a lot has their favorite authors and I’m no exception. This is a rundown of four of them that will enable you to organize your month around some of the best fantasy/thriller writers around. These authors are guaranteed to keep your October reading gripped to the very last page. Here’s a selection of books that should really strike your fantasy as well as unleash the powers of your mind. Kelley Armstrong: Kelley says she has been telling stories before she could write and she continues to spin tales of ghosts, demons and werewolves while safely locked in her basement writing dungeon. In her novel, “Omens,” she has written another fascinating tale of paranormal circumstances. This is one of a series where her heroine, 24 year old Olivia Taylor Jones, suddenly finds out she has been adopted and her real parents are imprisoned serial killers. She is blocked at every turn as she tries to find out what happened to turn her parents into stone cold killers. If you enjoy strange and spooky happenings and a great mystery with a paranormal twist, you will enjoy “Omens.” Carole Nelson Douglas: Carole is the author of almost sixty novels including mystery thrillers, high fantasy and science fiction and has won more than fifty writing awards. Douglas is an animal lover, especially cats, and she has written a series about “Midnight Louie,” a twenty-pound

black tomcat with the wit of Damon Runyon. Her latest in the series is “Cat in an Alien X-Ray.” This book is perfect for Halloween reading and you even get a black cat crossing your path, helping to solve the mystery with a few laughs thrown in. Douglas has long been known to blend elements of mystery and fantasy with contemporary issues and psychological realism. She said in a recent blog, “Some folks find black cats and October 31 unlucky, but not me. Halloween was always the most significant holiday of my personal and professional career.” Steve Alten: “The Omega Project” is yet another edge-of-yourseat thriller about a scientific team scheduled to go to Jupiter’s moons. One of the members of the team is put into hibernation against his will and awakens in a hostile earth where he must defeat a technological adversary of his own making. Alten takes reader patronage seriously and pays attention to every detail when crafting a novel from storyline and research to the interior and exterior artwork with stunning results. In one of his earlier series, “Meg,” Alten featured a set of novels around the survival of the Megalodon, a giant prehistoric shark termed by many as the Moby Dick of giant killer shark novels. After reading that series, it made me afraid to go into the ocean. I must admit I like books that scare the living daylights out of you and Alten’s are some of my favorites. Read them if you dare! R.A. Salvatore: The author of two “Star Wars” novels and many fanta-

sy novels, R.A., is best known for the “Demon Wars Saga” in which he created his popular character, Drizzt Do’Urden. He is one of the fantasy genre’s most successful authors and enjoys an ever-expanding and tremendously loyal following. His recently released novels in the series include “The Crystal Shard” and “The Sundering,” quickly followed by his latest, “The Companions.” His hero, Drizzt, is thrust into a new era of forgotten realms. His fate hangs in the balance as he reflects on the lives of his trusted allies who stood by his side throughout his early life — friends known as Companions of the Hall. Here’s a passage from “The Sundering.” What good is gold if your friends will not lift you when you have fallen. How long lived our memory of you when you are gone? Because in the end, that is the only measure. In the end, when life’s flicker fades, all that remains is memory. Richness, in the final measure, is not weighed in gold coins, but in the number of people you have touched, the tears of those who morn your passing and the remembrances of those who continue to celebrate your life.” Salvatore’s books will take you to forgotten realms where it will take more than the soul of a hero to defeat the demon powers that exist. There you have it folks, some of my favorite fantasy/thriller authors. I do believe these four authors will strike your fantasy as they sure do for millions of readers. Read these books and join them — I have. Happy Halloween reading, everyone!

ENGLEWOOD — On Wednesday, October 2, Grace Brethren Village (GBV) located in Englewood, took first place in the Wii bowling League of the central division.

Thunderbolts hand Elks first loss of season By Ron Nunnari

Independent Editor Rnunnari@civitasmedia.com

CLAYTON — In what could arguably be one the best football games ever played in the history of the Greater Western Ohio Conference the Northmont Thunderbolts scored a 41-34 homecoming game victory Friday night over arch rival Centerville. The Thunderbolts victory ended the Elks undefeated season and snapped Centerville’s seven game win streak, which includes a victory in the final game of 2012. “It was one if the best high school football games played in the short history of the conference, and definitely one of the best ever played on Matt Dudon Field at Good Samaritan Stadium,” said Northmont coach Lance Schneider. With the win Northmont improves to 6-1 overall and 2-0 in division play while the Elks fall to 6-1 and 1-1 in the Central Division. The Thunderbolts are now tied for first place along with Wayne, which also sports a 6-1 overall and 2-0 division record. Senior quarterback Graham Oberer rose to the occasion with another standout performance. He completed 19 of 36 passes for 353 yards and four touchdowns. Senior wide receiver Cameron Taylor also set a school record for most receiving yards in a game, catching 10 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns. Senior defensive back Isaiah Williams sealed the victory by intercepting a Centerville pass at the goal line on the Elks’ final drive of the game. Williams also caught a pair of touchdown passes to contribute on offense as well. The Elks scored on their first possession of the game. Damian Popp broke loose for a 55-yard touchdown run with 10:10 remaining in the first quarter. Nick Bozzo kicked the extrapoint to put Centerville up, 7-0.

On the Elks second possession the Northmont defense came up with a huge play inside the red zone. On second down and three at the Northmont five yard line Dante Bland forced a fumble by Michael Lunsford and Isaiah Williams recovered the loose ball at the 14. Centerville got the ball back when junior defensive back Kevin Smith picked off a Graham Oberer pass at midfield. The turnover came to naught when Northmont forced the Elks to punt. Taking over at their own 27 the Thunderbolts engineered their first scoring drive of the game. Northmont drove 73 yards in just five plays capped by a 61-yard pass completion from Oberer to Cameron Taylor. Chris Okos added the point after to tie the game, 7-7. The Elks’ Damian Popp returned the ensuing kickoff 80 yards to the Northmont 16 yard line. Seven plays later Popp scored on a two yard run with Bozzo adding the point after to put Centerville on top, 14-7. Centerville increased its lead to 20-7 early in the second quarter when Popp scored on a 30yard run. D.J. Hickman blocked the extra point to hold the Elks lead to 13. On the T-Bolts next possession Oberer scored on a three yard quarterback keeper to cap a six play, 67-yard drive. Okos tacked on the point after to cut the Elks’ lead to 20-14. After forcing the Elks to punt on their next possession the Thunderbolts wasted no time tying the game. On first down running back Jonny Lowery exploded for an 80-yard touchdown romp. Chase Whitaker blocked the point after to keep the score knotted at 20-20 with 3:11 remaining in the first half. The Elks scored on a seven play, 59-yard drive with Popp scoring on a three yard run and Northmont answered with a five play, 61-yard

drive with Oberer tossing a 35-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Williams to make it 27-27 at halftime. On Centerville’s first possession of the second half Cory Carter scored on a 21-yard run on an option play and Bozzo’s point after put the Elks up, 34-27. That would prove to be the Elks final score of the game. Northmont responded with a 10 play, 75-yard drive with Oberer tossing a seven yard touchdown to Isaiah Williams. Okos point after knotted the score 34-all with 1:33 remaining in the third quarter. With 5:22 remaining in the game Northmont mounted the winning drive. Staring at their own 26 the Thunderbolts drove to the Elks’ 48 yard line. From there Oberer dropped back and found Cameron Taylor for a 48-yard touchdown pass to give Northmont the lead for good. Okos added the point after to make it 41-34. That set up the last second heroics by the Northmont defense. The Elks returned the ensuing kickoff to their 39 and mounted a lastditch scoring effort.

Centerville drove to the Northmont seven with only seconds remaining. On second down and goal Will Vance fired a pass intended for Cory Baker, but Isaiah Williams intercepted the pass and returned it to the nine yard line as time expired to preserve the homecoming victory. “Both teams had a wealth of good players on the field, and it showed in such a well played game,” Schneider stated. “Our defensive staff did a masterful job of making halftime adjustments which resulted in us being able to control the line of scrimmage in the second half, ultimately slowing them down, and holding them to one score in the third quarter. Isaiah Williams made two spectacular defensive plays on their game ending drive. He was able to make an open field tackle on Damian Popp, and came off his man in the end zone to step in front of the pass to secure the victory on the last play of the game. “Offensively, our line played a great game,” S chneider added. “They were able to pro-

tect Graham Oberer, and allow him to distribute the ball to our array of good skill players. Cameron Taylor broke the school record for receiving yards in a game (235), which was previously held by Justin Watkins (211 versus Cincinnati LaSalle in 2005). We were

able to effectively run the football, allowing us to have a balanced attack. Anytime you can get 560 yards on a Centerville defense, it is a monumental accomplishment.” This week the T-Bolts will host Fairmont (2-5, 1-1) at 7 p.m. at Good Samaritan Stadium.

Lady Bolts triumph at the sectional opener vs Xenia By Ron Nunnari

Independent Editor Rnunnari@civitasmedia.com

CLAYTON — Megan Wilcox scored two minutes and 15 seconds into Monday’s sectional tournament game at Northmont to give Xenia and early 1-0 lead. Wilcox fought off a Northmont defender and took the ball straight toward the center of the goal. Northmont goal keeper Molly McCarroll took a huge risk by coming out of the goal box to challenge Wilcox. With the goal left undefended Wilcox put a nice touch on the ball by lofting a soft kick over McCarroll and right into the center of the net for a 1-0 Xenia lead. Northmont tied the match 1-1 a mere 90 seconds later when Brittany Huff nailed a

direct kick into the left hand side of the net. The score remained a 1-1 deadlock at the half. Both teams hustled hard throughout the first 40 minutes in an effort to get the upper hand. That spirited play by both teams continued into the second half. It took until 17:08 remained before Northmont scored the go-ahead goal. Mariah Crosby hit a header into the net off a corner kick by Kaitlyn Thomison to put he Lady Bolts up 2-1. Northmont just missed putting another ball into the net at 15:47 when a kick deflected hard off the right post and back into play before Xenia could clear the ball out. Ashley Trottier added an insurance goal with 54 seconds remaining off an assist by Jensen O’Shea to make the final

tally 3-1. “We’ve struggled scoring goals off an on throughout the year but we’ve started scoring more consistently,” said Xenia coach Jim Lamb. “We scored that first goal early and we had a few more chances, but they just weren’t very dangerous chances.

was outstanding,” said Barnes. “I was a little worried during the first mile, but right at the first mile my assistant coach Brent Coppock told her and Brooke to make a surge and she responded to that and started pick girls off one by one. Clara was able to beat Greenville’s number one girl this is something she had not done all year. The performance at GWOC was Clara’s all time PR for cross country. In Brooke’s eyes her performance may have not been her best of the season and she will be harder on herself about it then anybody, but she gutted it and still had a solid performance. I know that she will be ready to go come districts.” Several runners later, sophomore Denissa Sly, freshman Ali Brown and sophomore Jordyn Leonard all finished in consecutive order. Sly came in 59th place at a time of 22:52.89, Brown finished in 60th place at a time of 22:54.59 and Leonard placed 61st at a time of 22:54.87. Soon after, junior Aislynn Brant came in 66th place at a time of 23:12.71 and senior Jennifer Wirrig finished in 72nd place with a time of 23:27.18. “It was a really fast course, it was really easy,” said Wirrig. “I felt really good running it.” The T-Bolts and Lady T-Bolts will both race at the District Tournament at the Miami Valley Career Technology Center on Saturday, Oct. 19.

Lady Thunderbolts win thriller in Miamisburg SPRINGBORO — The Thunderbolts traveled to Springboro last week for a five game battle that ended with the win in the Panthers’ column. Losing 21-25, 25-20,1825, 25-22 and 15-12, the Lady Bolts fought hard for every point of the evening. Winning games two and four, Northmont’s Sarah Fryman’s 22 digs kept the contests close. Northmont had chances in games one, three and five. Kennedy Schmidt pounded out 12 kills, and Ali Pompeii led the team with 17 assists. The match was a back and forth affair with lead changes in every game, but in the end the momentum shifted to the home team. Two days later, the T-Bolts were on the road again, this time to Miamisburg. The Thunderbolts played with intensity and focus and delivered some of their best ball of the season. The Bolts, coached by Amy Rutledge, came hungry for the win. When the team in green and white dropped a 28-30 thriller in the opener, the T Bolts answered with straight wins, 25-21, 25-19 and 25-22. The contests were full of long rallies that saw spectacular digs and numerous kill attempts by both squads. Despite allowing the Vikings to inch up on the Thunderbolts’ leads, Coach Rutledge’s calm style gave little away until the match was concluded. “I am so proud of these girls. They had a great showing tonight,” Rutledge

SIDNEY — Coming into the GWOC Championship meet on Saturday, Oct. 12, Northmont cross country coach Joseph Barnes stated that his strategy was to have the T-Bolts and Lady T-Bolts beat the teams they will be racing against at the District meet next week. Barnes specifically identified Greenville, Xenia and West Carrollton for the boys and for the girls, Greenville among many others. The T-Bolts were able to accomplish many of those feats by finishing in ninth place overall, one spot ahead of Xenia and four sports ahead of West Carrollton. The T-Bolts also finished third in the GWOC Central. The Lady T-Bolts had similar results, finishing in ninth place and placing third in the GWOC Central. “Overall I am pleased with the work they have put together this season,” Barnes said. “Each athlete has individually improved and they made some major steps forward this past weekend at GWOC, but there is still room to improve and we will need to improve on this during the week if they want to make it out as a team at district. I believe they can make the few improvements needed during this week’s practices, and I feel the boys’ team can make it out of district meet.” The T-Bolts were led by junior JT Mackay, who

finished second behind Butler’s Jake Brumfield, whom he has battled for first place three times this year. Mackay, who fell behind a few runner during the first mile, caught up in the second mile and sprinted away in the final stretch. Mackay recorded a time of 15:50.09, less than five seconds behind Brumfield. “He (Barnes) told me, he said just go out and run with Jake Brumfield, he’s going to take it out fast,” Mackay said. “And that he’s going to try to make his move after the mile, which he did, and he made his move, and maybe I”ll get him sometime here soon.” Also finishing in the top 20 for the T-Bolts was senior Nigel Carlton, who placed 16th with a time of 16:42.23. Junior Tanner Garrison finished in 46th place with a time of 17:46.14. Freshman Ethan Shade finished in 80th place with a time of 18:58.99. Five runners later, another freshman, Jake Bower, who placed 85th at a time of 19:03.03. Also finishing for the T-Bolts was freshman Ethan Wright, who placed 95th at a time of 19:34.60. Sophomore Christian Champen finished in 99th place with a time of 19:52.59. On the girl’s side, sophomore Clara Leedy was the top finisher by placing 30th with a personal best time of 20:46.98. Soon after, junior Brooke Waterman finished in 39th place with a time of 21:34.32. “Clara’s performance

said. “Miamisburg’s team has a lot of talent too, but our team really wanted this win. The loss in the first game, that we pushed to 30, just fired up our girls and made them even more determined.” When asked about individual performances, Coach Rutledge wanted to give credit to her entire squad. “Every person on our team has a job to do and executed well tonight. They kept their heads in

(play) tonight. I am really proud of their team spirit and their individual commitment to tonight’s decisive win!” The win brings the Thunderbolts to 13-9 with a .591 avg. Kennedy Schmidt posted 22 kills against the Vikings and Rebecca Kuhlman had 28 assists. Sarah Fryman’s performance in the back row was solid with 22 digs. The Thunderbolts will face Piqua in tournament action at Centerville this week.

DAYTON — The Slam called Cincinnati home last season but will move operations to Dayton, playing games at the Payne Recreation Center, 3800 Main St., Moraine. On October 19 the team will host tryouts at the Payne Rec Center from 2-4 p.m. The cost of the tryout is $45 cash or money orders made out to UBA.

The Slam is calling these talented players who are over 18 and want the opportunity to play in a league that promotes players’ professional growth and offers them the opportunity to showcase their talents. ESPN released the top ten basketball cities in America, and Dayton is No. 8 among the most fervent hoops fans. It has birthed several basketball superstars, and is hungry for the sport’s return to the region. “I believe Southwest Ohio has produced some of the best talent in the country and the style of play here resembles the pro and international game. We look to put a very entertaining and exciting product on the floor for the fans, while showcasing the talents of our players,” says Slam Coach, David Herzog.

He is in the process of putting together a very talented coaching staff along with a great volunteer staff to produce exhilarating basketball games and entertaining halftime shows. Their season starts in January, the playoffs start in May and the final horn sounds at an all-star game in Atlanta. The UBA league is comprised of three divisions, Eastern, Western, and Southern, with 5 teams in each division. The Slam is in the Eastern divi-

sion with the Louisville Diesel, Kentucky Kings, S outhern Indiana Generals, and the Louisville Flames. The UBA is expanding and creating new opportunities for professional player advancement and aspiring player development.
