PRINCETON COMMUNITY SHARES GRIEF

Parent finds strength to help despite his own loss

By Kelly McBride

kmcbride@communitypress.com

The death of a child is an unspeakable loss, yet the Princeton parents whose son died in a car crash just months ago have found the strength to reach out to another Princeton family suffering the same loss. Ickey and Chandra Baldwin Woods were comforted last weekend by a man who understands their loss. Boris Smith lost his son, Ryan Sawyer, in December. The basketball and football player was killed in a car crash. A call from Princeton High School Principal William Sprankles came last Thursday, the morning after Jovante was taken to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and placed on a ventilator. Smith said he jumped up and was still getting dressed as he raced through his front door. “I couldn’t get my clothes on fast enough,” he said as he headed to the hospital. His wife, Sharon, who had also lost a friend recently, stayed home, and Smith called his mom, Diane, to go with him to the hospital. She was his source of strength as he offered support to the Woods family. “I didn’t have anybody when I went through this, but I had the Princeton community,” he said of the support he received from teachers and staff. So he offered comfort to Ickey and Chandra. Smith said that as he held Jovante’s hand in the hospital, he saw Ryan. “That first half hour, I had a hard time,” Smith said.

Princeton High School’s staff of teachers, coaches and counselors have been available to help students as they struggle to cope with the loss of another classmate, but some won’t realize their grief for weeks or even months to come. For the students, grieving the loss of their friend Jovante Woods is especially difficult since they are still reeling from the loss of another classmate, Ryan Sawyer, killed in December in a car crash. Students at Princeton have had to deal with several other deaths in the past three years. They’ve lost basketball coach and teacher Bill Brewer, former Principal Ray Bauer, student Jeff Ross, student Guadalupe CarilloCampa and graduate Andy Caress. Athletic Director Scott Kaufman said Princeton staff would be watching for signs of grief, as it can show itself in atypical ways. “The biggest thing is observation,” he said. “Picking out kids that are crying or seeing facial expressions is easy. “The hard part is kids who hide their emotion,” he said. They will be watching for changes in behavior. “If something happens, we will check out what caused that change in behavior,” Kaufman said. “We will be cognizant of five months from now, when all of a sudden somebody acts out of character. “We have to ask the right questions about what’s causing this,” he said. “The one beauty in tragedy is that everybody stays together,” Kaufman said. “We are close-knit when things are good,” Kaufman said of Princeton. “We are incredibly close-knit when things are bad.”

Friends remember hard worker who set good example By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Friends, teammates and coaches will miss Jovante Woods, but as they remember the 16-year-old, their smiling faces reflect a teen who had a determination that showed in his grades, ability as a football player, and loyalty as a friend. The Princeton student, who was the son of former Bengal Ickey Woods and his wife, Sharon Baldwin Woods, died Saturday, Aug. 14, following an apparent

asthma attack several days earlier. “He was a great kid,” football Coach Bill Leach said. “He did everything right. He never missed a workout, and he’d work out hard, always with a smile on his face. “He never complained.” Friends and teammates agreed. “He always fought through it,” said Trey Watkins, a junior and wide receiver for the Princeton Vikings. “Even when he was

tired, he never took a play off,” said Jay McCant, also a junior and Viking wide receiver. “And he’d always be smiling,” said Nate McGill, a junior and quarterback for Princeton. They agreed that Jovante gave 110 percent, on the field and in the classroom. “He was a good role model with a good work ethic,” Watkins said, remembering how Jovante helped him one time with a science project. “He definitely made me work harder,” McGill said. “He was a great listener and gave good advice.” They laughed at memories of him eating Twix candy bars, and the time he had a Mohawk haircut. “It was five inches high,” Watkins said. “But he didn’t care what anyone thought,” McGill said. “He wanted to be different.” Mike Shibinski, who

Sharonville program builds on teamwork By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

For firefighters, teamwork is essential for saving lives. Sharonville’s Fire Department has taken that expertise to Princeton City Schools in a program that challenges teachers and administrators to solve problems through collaboration. It’s part of a trend that Capt. Kirk Mousa said the department will continue in Sharonville, as well as through the Northeast Fire

Collaborative with Mason, Blue Ash, Sycamore To w n s h i p and Lovel a n d Symmes fire Mousa departments. The Aug. 9 gathering brought 24 staff members for exercises designed to build rapport and foster communication through teamwork. In one exercise, each group received 20 pieces of

they thought like adults, not children. “My kid did this exercise and made a 28-inch building in no time,” Mousa said. The Princeton groups struggled the first time. “No one did a structure that would stand on its own,” Mousa said. “We spend too much time analyzing instead of just getting at it,” he said. So they talked about why they struggled and what they could have done differently, and had more

success in subsequent tries. “It’s about communication,” Mousa said. “Generally, that was the basis of all of this. “Teachers, by nature, like to interact and talk about how to do it, but they didn’t actually get it done,” he said. Teamwork is part of everything, Mousa said. That’s the idea behind the fire collaborative as well. “We’re building a big team,” he said. “How can we all work together and

meet our goals?” The program was a stairstep to future exercises, he said of plans to expand the teambuilding efforts within the Sharonville Fire Department as well as the collaborative and again at Princeton schools. “This was a great time.”

Army asks Springdale for support By Kelly McBride

Representatives of the U.S. Army have asked the city of Springdale for a commitment of support for members of the armed services, and city council members have indicated that they’ll do just that. Sgt. 1st Class Joel O’Bradovic and 1st. Sgt. Charles Peterson II addressed council during its Aug. 18 meeting, asking members to sign a contract that pledges support. That support can come in any form that the city deems appropriate, they said. Several other communities, including Sharonville, are considering signing contracts, according to O’Bradovic. He said Sharonville Mayor Virgil Lovitt had offered to host a group sign-

deployed, and the stress it puts on a family, it’s a way for the community to rally and to assist in times of

need,” Peterson said. More than 750 communities have signed contracts since the national program started in 2008, he said. He said the type of support a community offers depends on its resources and the families’ needs. “The little things go a long way, considering the sacrifice that the servicemen are making,” Peterson said. “On the homefront, if they know things are taken care of, it’s easier for him or her to do the job,” he said. Council will discuss whether to sign a contract, and will contact Peterson at a later date, said Marjorie Harlow, council president. Councilmembers were supportive of the program. “I’d definitely be interested,” Councilman Tom Vanover said. “If this is a program to ask the community to help, I don’t see an issue,” Coun-

cilman Steve Galster said. “A lot of people in this community would do anything it takes,” he said. “If there’s anything the city can do, I’d like to see the city be a part of it,” Mayor Doyle Webster said. The city will post information on its website, www.springdale.org. It also will include information in its quarterly newsletter and through email to Springdale residents, council said.

Striking the right notes with the right music teacher Finding the right music teacher can make all the difference between success and failure in a child’s music lessons. All music teachers are not the same and do not carry the same credentials. Parents ideally want a teacher who is close, available at the right times and reasonably priced. Music Teachers National Association is here to offer advice on other factors to consider, as well as how to make the right decision. When selecting your child’s

music teacher, it is best to consult with friends, family members and others who are acquainted with area music teachers. Also try asking for recommendations from schools, churches, music stores or area teacher organizations. Wordof-mouth is often the best resource when seeking the right teacher. After getting a few teaching prospects, arrange an in-person interview, if possible. This allows you to familiarize yourself with the teachers, ask questions about the teacher’s studio policies,

expectations and teaching styles. This is also the time to address any concerns you may have. During this interview, you should ask the teacher if he or she is a member of Music Teachers National Association and if he or she holds MTNA Professional Certification. Both of these convey a commitment to ongoing professional development, which is an important quality to look for in a teacher. A nationally certified teacher of music has demonstrated competence in professional preparation,

teaching practices, ethical business management and lifelong learning. These characteristics will prove to be an excellent source to facilitate music learning in an environment that encourages student confidence, independence, teamwork and success. Once you have completed the interviews, carefully balance all of the elements of personality, interaction with students, commitment to professionalism with price and location. Weigh the pros and cons. Music lessons are core to any

child’s complete education and making an informed decision about who your child studies with is paramount. For additional assistance finding a music teacher in your area, contact Ohio Music Teachers Association Southwest District at 513-662-6690 or e-mail rkmlb1@ earthlink.net or visit the OMTASW District Website at www.swomta.org or www.mtna. org and click on one of the links under “Choosing a Music Teacher.”

Glendale Elementary plans safety assembly

Keystone award

PROVIDED

Saint Gabriel Consolidated School has named The Rev. Mark Burger, left, of St. John Parish in West Chester Township the recipient of its seventh annual The Rev. John Porter Keystone Award for contributing to the ongoing success of Catholic schools. He is congratulated here by Saint Gabriel Principal Joe Epplen.

The Glendale Elementary School in conjunction with the Glendale Elementary P.T.A., will be holding a “Safety Assembly” in the school’s gymnasium at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 1. With the start of a new school year, thoughts turn to our most important responsibility – the safety of the students and employees. This year is no different and thanks to the school’s Parent Teacher Association, the school be adding some valuable equipment in order to help them achieve this goal. The PTA joined forces with The Howard Agency/State Farm Insurance in providing the school with emergency preparedness kits. Each and every classroom as well as the front office will have one of these kits. Each kit will include (but are not limited to): First Aid

kit, LED Flashlight, CPR mask, legal pad and copy of the school’s emergency operations manual. The front office kit will also include a 4G jump drive that was donated by Tom Benjamin (treasurer of the PTA and area firefighter). The jump drive will contain copies of Princeton’s full safety policies, Glendale School’s safety policies and complete classroom lists, which can be accessed by the principal in order to facilitate emergency contacts and information about each child. In 2009 Julie Ayers, principal of Glendale School, approached Benjamin about the possibility of the PTA providing these kits. Benjamin immediately started soliciting donations for the kit. However a slumping economy made it very difficult to obtain donations. In fact the only donation he was able

to secure was the flashlight/First Aid kits from The Howard Agency/State Farm Insurance. The project was subsequently put on hold until funds could be obtained through other methods of fund raising throughout the 2009-2010 school year. Thankfully the PTA was able to raise enough money to buy the bags as well as all of its contents (other than the above mentioned First Aid kits) and we are very proud to be able to present these kits to the faculty of Glendale school.

Silence frightens but has so much to say

“The eternal silence of these infinite spaces terrifies me.” So stated Blaise Pascal, famed philosopher, scientist, mathematician and writer about the vastness of the universe. Notice it was not the sheer size of “these infinite

spaces” that amazed him. It was their silence that terrified him. The gaping stillness of a night sky can remind us of our human solitude. For so many, noise and busyness are familiar; solitude and silence frighten us.

Theologian Nicholas Lash writes, “I have a suspicion that one reason why some scientists seem so keen to suppose that somewhere, in some vastly distant region, there must be that which we could recognize as ‘living,’ and as

quality of the silence changes. Father Lou In this Guntzelman m o r e peaceful Perspectives place we are mostly with our self, and with God. This apparently empty space of silence is actually indescribably full. Then it is that we discover that eloquent silence is not an absence, but a presence; not boring but refreshing; not stressful but serene. Author Pico Iyer describes this serenity found in silence: “Eloquent silence is that enchanted place where space is cleared, time subsides, and the horizon expands. “In silence, we often say, we can hear ourselves think; but what is truer to say is that in silence we can hear ourselves not think, and so sink below our selves into a place far deeper than mere thought allows. In silence, we might better say, we can hear someone else think.” As the heat and humidity moderate in late summer and autumn, nature calls us more insistently to come away for awhile from expressways, malls and crowds – and like the great host that she is – invites us to revel in her silence. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Contact him at columns@community press.com or P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242.

The gaping stillness of a night sky can remind us of our human solitude. For so many, noise and busyness are familiar; solitude and silence frighten us. capable of communicating with us … Meeting them would give us company and diminish our terrifying isolation.” He could have a point. Our fear of silence and solitude is confirmed when we recall how even early Greeks and Romans populated the distant skies with spirits, deities and astrological animals. Horoscope readers today find solace in the belief that the stars and planets are really entities concerned about us and our fate. Why do we dislike silence so much? One reason is we fear looking at all that is within us. We’re masters at avoiding confrontation with who we really are and what’s going on in our depths. True, our advances in technology can be extremely helpful in conversing with another and transacting our businesses. But at other times technology is like the Trojan horse that delivered a hidden enemy within the camp. Technology has already given us multiple ways to avoid silence: radio, TV, computers, cell phones, internet, games, e-mails, text-messaging, etc.

We can go to bed with music or TV and awake to the same. Want to avoid silence? There’s an app for that. An old paradoxical saying claims that the cure for loneliness is solitude. For when we have conquered solitude’s fear, we discover we are not alone. Bringing a temporary halt to our hurrying and doing permits us to tap into our conversations with ourselves within. Dr. James Hollis notes, “The chief pathology of our time is the capacity of the world to distract us from this conversation.” Psychological observations have proven that the three places we can come to know ourselves the best are marriage, psychotherapy and silence. Our first tries at bringing more silence into our lives can be agitating. We become anxious, feeling weird at doing this, and checking the time to see when our time is up so we can get on to better things. Actually, we have to go through the frightening silence to come to the eloquent silence. After working our way through the scary part of silence, we come to an inner place where the

Save some summer vegetables for autumn soups There are certain soups that transcend trendy and become real heirloom favorites. The soup recipes I’m sharing today fit those criteria. They are the ones that are my most popular. Now I know it may be too hot to make them now, but tuck these jewels away – autumn isn’t far away!

Rita’s 30-minute vegetable soup

One of my most requested recipes, this is a favorite with kids and adults. Also, throw in any stray vegetables lurking in the fridge. Ditto with extra cooked pasta or rice. And if your family doesn’t like spicy soup, use regular canned diced tomatoes. Pass plenty of cheddar or Parmesan. l pound lean ground beef: sirloin or ground round 1 generous cup chopped onion 1 teaspoon garlic 1 jar, 20-30 oz. chunky garden style pasta sauce 2 cans beef broth Water to taste (start with 1 soup can of water and go from there) 1 can, 10 oz., chopped

tomatoes and chilies 1 pound or so frozen m i x e d vegetab l e s , thawed if Rita you have Heikenfeld time Several Rita’s kitchen handfuls any fresh greens (opt.) Cheddar or Parmesan for garnish Sauté meat, onion and garlic together in large stockpot. “Sauté” simply means browning the meat with the onion and garlic. Drain any fat. Now add everything else but the greens. If you have the 30 oz. jar of pasta sauce, add almost all but taste before adding the rest. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 20 minutes or until veggies are tender. Toss in greens and cook until just wilted, about a minute more.

Tony Palazzolo’s version of Frisch’s vegetable soup

“A result of over a dozen attempts, and I think it is

very close to Frisch’s,” wrote Tony, an Anderson Township reader. The last time I made this, I used about a pound of frozen mixed vegetables for the peas, corn, beans and lima beans. I also omitted the fresh carrots, since carrots were included in the frozen mixed vegetables. I used quick cooking barley and brown rice, as well. 4 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 cup onion, diced ⁄2 cup each diced: carrots, celery 1 ⁄2 cup each frozen vegetables: peas, corn, cut green beans, baby lima beans (can use canned baby limas) 1 can, 14.5 oz, diced tomatoes with juice 2 quarts beef broth 1 quart water 1 ⁄2 teaspoon each thyme, garlic powder 3 ⁄4 teaspoon black pepper 1 cup potato, diced 1 ⁄4 cup pearl barley 1 ⁄4 cup long grain rice Salt to taste 1

Combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, cheese, onion, egg, salt and pepper. Shape into tiny balls, less than 1 inch in diameter. When the escarole is almost tender, stir in the pasta and return the soup to the simmer. Drop the meatballs into the soup. Cook over low heat, stirring gently, until the meatballs and pasta are cooked, about 20 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Serve hot with cheese.

Whether city or suburbs, litter bugs everyone

I enjoy working in Cincinnati and take pride in the major strides we have made in the city’s development. I also take pride in living in the beautiful community of Wyoming. There is an underlying problem that no one wants to talk about which is not only in downtown Cincinnati, but in our local communities, as well. That problem is litter. It can start out innocently enough. Someone attempts to throw away a piece of trash, like a gum wrapper or coffee cup and they miss the trash can. Or they throw their cigarette butt on the ground thinking it’s not litter. They may also leave litter behind because either they don’t realize they did or they assume someone else will take care of it. The unfortunate fact is that litter invites more litter. Once litter starts to accumulate along a road or in a park, people are more likely to keep littering. We can’t keep assuming that

someone else will take care of this problem. We all need to understand that littering is unacceptable, inappropriate and just plain wrong. Barb Not only is Wriston- littering wrong, Ruddy it’s illegal and actually costs all Community of us money. Press guest Consider the columnist facts: • Litter cleanup costs the U.S. almost $11.5 billion each year, with businesses paying $9.1 billion. Governments, schools, and other organizations pick up the remainder. • A recent Keep America Beautiful study found that litter in a community decreases property values by 7 percent. • Litter can also hurt Cincinnati’s economy by discouraging

Tri-County Mall has joined Newport on the Levee and is now requiring teens to have an adult escort after 4 p.m. on weekends. Do you support the idea? Why or why not? “While these privately owned malls have every right to enforce them, parental escort policies are a bad idea. Business-wise, they restrict the flow a huge part of their consumer-base – i.e. teen shoppers. Not so smart. But, more importantly, unilateral rules like this also forget that ‘teens’ are not all equally mature or immature (and that a lot of adults act less ‘grown up’ than some children do). Should we really be giving our kids another reason to think that we expect them to get into trouble? These sorts of policies hurt commerce and undermine trust across generations.” P.L. “I think having adult supervision in the malls after a certain hour is a responsible approach to making sure that the kids are well behaved. It would reduce the crowding of areas and it also helps people feel more comfortable when they do not have to worry about crowds of teens that hang together whatever their intentions. Having said that, if the child is not respectful and is disruptive to the commercial intentions of the malls, having a parent who did not teach their child to be

new businesses from opening in the city. • Littering is illegal in Ohio, with fines up to $500 and even jail time. Keep Cincinnati Beautiful is taking proactive steps to head off the city’s litter problem by launching a new litter prevention education campaign. The city was chosen by the national nonprofit, Keep America Beautiful to test this campaign as a pilot program. This is the organization that came up with the “Crying Indian” campaign that caused a stir forty years ago so if anyone can do it, they can! If successful, this campaign will be modeled in other cities throughout the country. The campaign, aptly titled “Littering Is Wrong Too,” takes a humorous and light-hearted approach to portray the act of littering as amoral and just plain wrong. Everyone can play a role in improving Cincinnati and their individual communities by follow-

ing these simple tips: • Don’t litter. Set a good example for your friends, kids and neighbors. • Never throw trash out of your car window. Also, be aware when driving with your windows open. Loose items like paper or candy wrappers can fly out easily. • Do not throw leftover food such as banana peels on the ground. Organic or not, it is an eyesore, leads to more litter and attracts animals to the street and leads to road kill! • Place a bag in your car to collect personal trash (or recyclables) instead of tossing them. • At home, secure the lids on your trash and recycling containers, especially when you set them out on collection day. • If you smoke, never throw your cigarette butts on the ground. Cigarette butts constitute a large part of existing litter and they contaminate our water, soil and threaten the health of animals.

VOICES FROM THE WEB Apkingville Visitors to Cincinnati.com/ Evendale posted these comments to a story about Mayor Don Apking asking residents to wait until Sunday nights to put garbage out on the sidewalks for pick-up, and asking anyone who is working on vehicles at their home to keep them in the garage: “It’s a matter of opinion if a property is being kept up well or not. The village lets some green areas turn into war zones and has no problem with it at all. Don seems to think Evendale is a big homeowners association where he makes the rules. If you have a family and go out of town for a three- or four-day weekend you have to set your cans out when you leave because you can’t make it two weeks. My neighbor has three young children and a fourth on the way, if their cans are out for awhile, I figure they’re swamped and roll them up for them. Many residents would choose to complain instead of help and that’s just a problem with our society.” gatlin0

Time to move on Visitors to Cincinnati.com/ Wyoming posted these comments to a story about former Wyoming recreation employees amending their lawsuit against the city alleging wrongful termination after an incident last year when they were drinking alcohol near a teen party: “These folks need to move on with their lives. Bottom line none of us would have a job if we’d been found drinking alcohol while supervising (on/off the clock) children or working for the city. As a parent and tax payer, I don’t want any of them back on my tax dollars! Mistakes were made, consequences resulted and hopefully lessons were learned by all involved. The city now knows they must be more aware of substance abuse by those on the job or on city property. The former city employees hopefully learned to make more responsible choices regarding their place of employment. Ms. Deters, Ms. Moore & Mr. Pearl are needlessly causing disruption and expense to all of us by filing a law suit when they truly should have apologized. Families entrusted their children to them that night and they could not wait until they got home to have a drink! Poor judgement is the first thing that comes to mind there. Money and revenge is a close second. It makes me sad for our city to have to deal with this.” WyomingCitizen

All’s fair – or maybe not Visitors to Cincinnati.com posted these comments to a

story about poor attendance at this year’s Hamilton County Fair – less than half of the 2009 attendance: “I really feel for the kids. They worked so hard all year on their projects. Even with the heat, it’d be nice for people to come out and support them. It makes me wonder how Clermont County can pull 50,000-plus attendance and Hamilton County can only pull 7,500. Same heat, same humidity...” VoteNOon18 “Maybe no one went because they didn’t see any advertising. I had no idea the fair was this weekend. Just a hint, in order for people to come you have to advertise early. No reason we shouldn’t have seen signs and billboards up last month.” t3ach3skids “Location, location, location ...” suburbansafari “When my sister was the fair queen back in the ’60s she went to TV stations (Bob Braun), radio shows and appeared around town to promote the ‘freak show’ ( my sister’s favorite!) the animal auctions and the baked good blue ribbon awards. Times have changed ... no fair queen, only freaks attend the fair, there aren’t may farms in Hamilton County and people don’t promote the fair any more.” formerhydeparker “I doubt if even 7,500 attended, to be honest. If that is ‘at the door’ attendance, I am shocked it is that high ... with or without excessive heat, it cost $8 to get in and another $4 to park for crying out loud – then we had to pay more for food/booths/rides – we got in to the Ohio State Fair for $5. “If it weren’t for the grand-stand stuff (pulls, derby, etc.) and the 4H barns and livestock area, nobody would be there at all. “Dick Ingle does a great job with what he can ... he is right, it needs a major

They do need to advertise more. I don’t think that would have helped a lot this year, with the heat index being over 100, any outdoor activity would be greatly hurting if it didn’t involve a pool.” dpeters11 “The Hamilton County Fair needs to tie in other youth groups beyond the typical 4H and FFA who due to the continued suburbanization of the county are as scarce as hens’ teeth. Involve the Cub Souts and Boy Scouts, Brownies and Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, etc ... Move from an agriculture themed base to a community service themed base, just look at the attendance figures for the Su Casa Hispanic festival in September, it is community based and draws many more people to the Carthage fairgrounds.” Cincinnatus1788 “When the ones that put this event on finally come to terms that it needs to be moved to the country ... it will continue to dwindle until it is completely gone. Yes, there still is ‘country’ in Hamilton County. It’s called Crosby Township. Wise up, people. If you want to save it – move it where people will enjoy it (and not be mugged!)

Cowboys eager to repeat 2009 success By Mark Chalifoux

On the Cowboys

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

The Wyoming High School football team would like to defend its regional championship, but the Cowboys have to take care of business in the regular season first. “I told the team that you don’t get that opportunity to defend unless you earn the right to get into the playoffs,” head coach Bernie Barre said. “We need to win some games to get enough Harbin points to get in.” The Cowboys went 13-1 in 2009 and advanced to the state semifinals for the first time in more than a decade. The 2009 Cowboys were one of the top teams in program history and Wyoming returns a considerable amount of talent from that team. Even still, every year is different, Barre said. “It’s a completely different team just with a lot of the same kids back,” he said. “Every team has a different chemistry and what we did last year won’t affect anything this year really. We have to go out and do it on the field with this team.” Leading the way for Wyoming will be senior quarterback Kyle Seyfried, who was the Division III Offensive Player of the Year in Ohio in 2009. He completed 65 percent of his

With heavy hearts over the sudden passing of sophomore defensive back J o v a n t e Woods, the son of former Bengal I c k e y Woods, the Princeton football team Leach prepares to open the season the season on Friday, Aug. 27. Woods, who died Aug. 14 after sufferMcCants ing an asthma attack at his home, will be buried Aug. 28, just one day after the Vikings open the season against Beavercreek.

Princeton head coach Bill Leach said that his team will miss Woods’ presence, both on and off the field. “You miss him for the way he led by example as a hard worker and a great teammate,” Leach said. Leach now faces the difficult task of keeping his young but promising team motivated in spite of tragedy. That is just one challenge Leach faces as he readies his team for the season. “The biggest challenge, other than the tragedy, will be inexperience with kids that haven’t been under the lights on Friday night and whether they perform,” Leach said. Princeton’s offense will

PRINCETON HIGH SCHOOL be led by junior quarterback Nate McGill, who saw action in two games last season while backing up the now-graduated Spencer Ware. McGill has a stable of weapons to throw to this season led by senior wide receiver Jay McCants who was third in the Greater Miami Conference in receiving yards, despite playing in just seven games. Joining McCants, who has verbally committed to play football at Indiana, is

senior wideout Justin Cornwall, who finished just behind McCants in receiving last season. The defense is expected to be led by junior linebacker Jahlil Croley, who is receiving attention from some major college programs. Leach said the Vikings will rely on their team speed and athleticism to win games this season in the always tough GMC. Princeton will have to face perennial conference favorite Colerain on Oct. 15, in what Leach considers to be a pivotal game. “Colerain is the team to beat,” Leach said. “If you want to win the GMC, you have to beat Colerain.” The Vikings also face a difficult non-conference road game against Clayton

However, those expectations rest on how quickly the Vikings can overcome their recent tragedy and how quickly those young players can adjust to varsity football. “If we get off to a good start, the confidence factor will grow,” Leach said. “If we struggle early, it could be a struggle of a season, but I don’t think that will happen.”

Defense, ground game key for Crusaders By Mark Chalifoux

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

The Moeller High School football team had a strong regular season in 2009 fueled by a talented senior class, and head coach John Rodenberg said the Crusaders look to reload rather than rebuild. “We have some great size on the offensive and defensive lines. I’m pretty excited,” he said. “We have some good senior leadership, and if we continue to improve, it will be a good year.” Joe Tull and Sam Fraley will anchor the offensive line for Moeller and that will

be one of the strengths for the Crus a d e r s . Moeller also returns running back T u c k e r Walker Skove, who was one of the Crusaders’ top threats out of the backfield. Skove had 644 rushing yards and nine touchdowns in 2009. As a team, Moeller ran for 2500 yards in 2009 and will be a runfirst team again in 2010. “He’s a pretty dynamic running back,” Rodenberg said of Skove. “Our line will be big and physical and we hope our size and strength will help carry our running game.” Moeller also returns receivers Monty Madaris and Max Richey. Richey had 478 receiving yards and three touchdowns for Moeller in 2009. The big challenge for the offense will be replacing Andrew Hendrix, now at Notre Dame. Moeller had four different players competing for the slot and Rodenberg said no one had broken away with the job yet. “We will depend on a good defense to keep the opposing scoring down and rely on our run game as well to give our new quarterback time to grow,” he said. “We have talented guys battling for the position so whoever wins it will be able to manage the offense.” Rodenberg said he thinks the defense has a chance to

The defense is led by senior defensive end Jesse Hayes, who has more than 20 Division I scholarship offers. Linebacker Kendall Walker has also generated considerable interest among Division I colleges. Kevin Robinson-White, John Tanner and Dante West round out the defensive line, one that Rodenberg called “one of the best in the state.” He predicted Shaquille Jinks will have a big year in the secondary. Rodenberg pegged La Salle as the favorite for the Greater Catholic League title, but said Elder and St. Xavier will be good again,

He also doesn’t buy the talk among some coaches that the GCL is down this year. “Everyone that says the GCL is down, I wish they would schedule us. It gets old having to go out of town to play teams,” he said. “I will give Colerain credit because they play all of us.” Moeller opens the season in the Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown against Huber Heights Wayne in a game on ESPNU. Wayne is led by the No. 1-rated quarterback in the class of 2011, Braxton Miller. Moeller also plays difficult games against Indianapolis Cathedral, Lakewood St. Edward and at Cardinal Mooney in Youngstown. Rodenberg said he feels confident the Crusaders will have another successful season because of Moeller’s depth. “This is the most depth I’ve had in my three years here,” he said. “If we lose a guy there’s another guy capable of stepping in and that’s exciting because you get banged up playing in our league. That depth is really good for our football team,” he said. Rodenberg said he also expects the team to get great leadership from its

captains. The captains are Joe Tull, Jesse Hayes, Kendall Walker and Dylan Ruter. Rodenberg said the team is ready to get the season started.

“We’re on ESPN for our very first game so we can’t wait,” he said. “It takes so much time to prepare for the season so we’re excited to get the season started.”

Balanced attack part of CHCA game plan By Anthony Amorini

Added size on the offensive line paired with the graduation of standout quarterback Alec Swartz will result in a more balanced offensive attack from Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy in 2010. Finishing at 7-3 last season, the Eagles threw the ball early and often with Swartz racking up 2,192 yards through the air while attempting 73 more passes than the next closest quarterback in the Miami Valley Conference (272 attempts compared to 199 attempts

Swartz’s big numbers through the air were juxtaposed with less than stellar numbers on the ground for the Eagles’ offense in 2009. Doyen Harris, also a 2010 graduate, led the Eagles with only 242 yards rushing as Swartz finished second on the team with just 213 yards rushing. Standing at 6-foot-7, junior Nick Lawley replaces Swartz at quarterback.

In 2009, the St. Xavier Bombers were Greater Catholic League South division champions, boasting a 3-0 conference record, but fell short of winning a state title, losing to Elder in the second round of the playoffs. Now, just a few years removed from an undefeated 2007 state championship season, the Bombers are hoping that a wide-open Greater Catholic League will lead them to a second consecutive conference title and a trip to Canton for the title game. The Bombers, who were 9-3 overall last season, return 10 starters from last year’s team, six of whom play defense. It’s the defense, led by senior linebackers Steven Daniels and Sean Duggan, that will carry this team,

according to head coach Steve Specht. “ W i t h four lineb a c k e r s returning, the middle of Woodall our defense is strong,” Specht said. “Those guys proved last year that they can play football.” Daniels and Duggan, who have both received numerous scholarship offers from schools around the country, are joined on defense by fellow linebackers Jake Rumpke, a senior, and Nathan Gerbus, a jun-

Specht said his biggest challenge is teaching his players how to work hard and transcend what they think they are capable of. “High school kids need to learn what hard work is,” Specht said. “Once that’s done, it’s about teaching them to break the glass ceiling and go above and beyond where they think they can go.”

Hundley led the GCL in rushing yardage as a sophomore in 2009, racking up more than 1,000 yards. The top receiving threat for St. Xavier is expected to be sophomore Kevin Milligan. Milligan caught nine passes for 136 yards as a freshman and will see much increased playing time this season.

The Bombers are not alone in having some uncertainties heading into the 2010 season, as every GCL team has suffered significant losses from last season, including both Elder and Moeller who must also break in new quarterbacks. This uncertainty has lead to a wide-open race for the GCL title, and Specht is unsure who the favorite is to win the league. “I really don’t know (how the standings will look),” Specht said. “I think there are so many unknowns, you can take all four teams, put them in a hat and draw them and that could be how the GCL standings end up.” One thing is certain for the Bombers, and that is a very, very tough schedule. St. X opens us against Our Lady of Good Counsel from Washington, D.C., who finished 11-1 last season, in a game televised nationally by ESPN. In addition to the Bombers’ GCL opponents, St. X also plays two perennial powerhouses from Louisville, Trinity and St.

Spartans look to seniors for leadership By Jake Meyer

westsports@communitypress.com

Roger Bacon High School’s football team is hoping its senior leadership will help it rebound from a disappointing 2009 season, a season that saw the Spartans go just 1-6 in Greater Catholic League play and finish with a 2-8 overall record. Head coach Kevin Huxel is hoping a senior-laden squad will help the Spartans to their first winning season since 2005. “We’ve got experience on the offensive and defen-

ROGER BACON HIGH SCHOOL sive lines and at receiver, which will really help,” Huxel said. Headlining that senior talent are receiver/defensive back Mike Jackson and offensive tackle Ryan Vonderhaar. Both players are garner-

Joining Jackson and Vonderhaar are senior linebacker Luke Fiorini, senior wideouts Will Farrell and Brian Bien and senior quarterback Tanner Sprong, who saw some action last year as a junior. Roger Bacon faces a tough schedule in 2010, facing seven GCL opponents including back-to-back defending Division IV state champions Alter. Huxel anticipates his squad to finish third in the GCL Central division, behind favorites Badin and McNicholas. However, Huxel sees potential for the Spartans to do better than expected, but

a fast start will be vital. “ T h e challenge is getting off to a good start and keeping faith that Fiorini they can be a real good t e a m , ” Huxel said. The Spartans open the year at M o u n t Healthy Fri- Jackson day, Aug. 27, and follow that game up at h o m e a g a i n s t Campbell County and W e s t e r n Huxel Hills before beginning GCL play against Chaminade-Julienne Sept. 17. Other highlights on the schedule include an Oct. 7 game at McNicholas, an Oct. 15 home matchup against Badin, and an Oct. 22 game at Alter. Despite that challenging schedule, Huxel’s goals for the Spartans remain lofty, with making the playoffs as the ultimate goal. “You always hope to go undefeated at home, win the league, and make the playoffs,” Huxel said. “I think our kids are capable of a good year, but we need a good start.”

On Sunday, Aug. 29, the Mayerson JCC offers children and adults a chance to participate in Fit-Fun Day at the J – a free end-of-summer outdoor festival that is open to the public. This major outdoor festival includes: Family Fun Fest from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., with lots of carnival games, a three-on-three basketball tournament, and other fun activities; the J5K Run, a 5K Run/Walk through the streets of Amberley Village, starting at 6 p.m., and the Rock & Roll Bash, 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., with live music and opportunities to win cash prizes at games of chance. All activities are based at the JCC in Amberley Village at 8485 Ridge Road (next to Ronald Reagan Highway). Advance registration is required for the J5K and the three-on-three basketball tournament. From 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. families can enjoy the Family Fun Fest. Activities include: carnival games, a moon bounce, a giant inflatable slide, face painting, caricature drawings, zoo animals, kids’ races, “dancing heads,” a photo booth, and more. The Amberley Village fire department will operate a fire truck exhibit, and the

Amberley police will give out child ID kits (while supplies last). Picnic food, refreshments, and beer will be available for purchase throughout the day. There will be a three-on-three basketball tournament for teenagers (ages 13 to 15 & 16 to 20) from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., and adults (ages 2135) can also challenge their friends on the basketball court from 3 p.m. to 5p.m. Participation is free, but advance registration is required. Registration forms are available on the JCC website, www.JointheJ.org and at the Mayerson JCC. The J5K Run starts at the JCC at 6 p.m., and continues through the neighborhood streets of Amberley Village. The race is a “chip” timed event for male and female runners, and is followed by an awards presentation for the winners in each age division. Early registrations (postmarked by Monday, Aug. 23) are $25/person with race shirt; $15/person without. Registrations submitted Aug. 24 to Aug. 27, and until 5:45 p.m. on the day of the race, are $30/person with race shirt (while supplies last); $20/person without. There is also a J5K Walk, with several male and female age categories. Registration

forms are available on the JCC website, www.JointheJ.org; online at www.runningtime.net; or at the Mayerson JCC fitness desk. “I am definitely going to be running in the J5K,” said Melissa Koetter, who successfully completed the JCC’s Indoor Triathlon at FitFun Day last March. “The Aug. 29 Fit-Fun Day at the J should be a lot of fun for kids and adults because they always have lots of great activities for everyone to enjoy!” After the J5K Aug. 29, adults of all ages will enjoy the Rock & Roll Bash at the J from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. There will be live rock & roll music of the 1960s, ‘70s, and ‘80s performed by local band The 4 Hubcaps, as well as a pasta dinner, cash bar, and beer tent. Partygoers can celebrate the end of summer by dancing and trying their luck to win cash prizes at a variety of gambling games. J5K participants who wish to attend the Rock & Roll Bash will have access to the JCC showers and locker rooms after the race. For registration forms or more information, contact the JCC at 761-7500 or visit www.JointheJ.org. The J welcomes everyone.

Jewish Family Service moves to new campus Jewish Family Service has relocated to The Jewish Foundation of Cincinnati Campus in Amberley Village on Ridge Road next to Ronald Reagan Highway, where the Mayerson JCC and Jewish Federation of Cincinnati are currently housed. The JCC building has been renovated to accommodate the addition of Jewish Family Service, and the parking lot is being expanded by 153 more spaces, from 385 to 538 spaces. Building renovations are complete and the parking expansion should be done by early November. Funding for the expanded parking, as well as the building renovations, was provided by The Jewish Foundation of Cincinnati. “The JFS relocation to the campus already shared by the Mayerson JCC and Jewish Federation provides a full spectrum of care for our community, all in one great place. Convenient access to a broadened range of servic-

es, facilities, and resources – combined with significantly expanded parking – is a win/win solution for our J members, as well as for the entire community,” said Jeff Baden, Executive Director of the JCC. Beth Schwartz, JFS executive director, added “Jewish Family Service is proud to be the human services provider for the community. By moving to the campus, JFS can strengthen even more lives. The community will have easier access and awareness of our wide range of professional and expert services – from those who rely on our food pantry to those who trust our expertise in day-to-day family concerns such as aging, parenting, or adoption.” The JFS move was recommended by the Community Efficiencies Group organized by Jewish Federation to look at multiple ways to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of

Jewish community agencies. According to Bret Caller, Jewish Federation president, “The Federation is responsible for cultivating a Jewish community in which our agencies and congregations can thrive and benefit our families, now and in future generations. Given the extended economic downturn, that role has become much more important.” Said CEO of Jewish Federation Shep Englander, “The Federation has been promoting collaboration to create greater synergies across all our Jewish institutions. We recognized that the services provided by the Mayerson JCC and Jewish Family Service would better serve the community if they were co-located. “As JFS, the JCC and Federation convened to plan this co-location, it became clear that all three would need to sacrifice some physical space, and I want to thank all three organizations for putting the com-

munity’s needs over their personal prerogatives.” Bruce Baker, JFS president, voiced similar sentiments: “The JFS Board recognizes the adjustments that JFS staff had in leaving behind private offices for shared open spaces. But everyone agrees that this sacrifice is worth the benefits to our agency and to the community. Moving to the campus opens more opportunities for collaboration with our sister agencies, better economies of scale, and more convenient accessibility for our clients.” Funding support from The Jewish Foundation of Cincinnati was essential to facilitating both the JFS move and the campus parking expansion. “The Mayerson JCC welcomes JFS to our community campus, and looks forward to many opportunities to work together for the enhanced benefit of all the people we serve,” said Howard Schwartz, president of the Mayerson JCC.

We know we must continually grow to meet the 21st century needs of our members.” Pautke will lead the Sharonville Chamber’s efforts to attract and retain members. “Businesses buy value, and our Chamber must continue to offer the connections, growth and the member-focused services and attitude members want to increase their prosperity.

This is how we will attract and retain – it’s all about delivering value in a friendly member-centric way,” Pautke said. “During the past three years Bob has been instrumental in helping create the strategies that have helped the Sharonville Chamber grow by 270 percent. His enthusiasm and energy along with his personal and professional skills as a volunteer made him a perfect person for this new role,” Arnold said.

Pautke has also been a successful business leader serving cus- Pautke tomers in North America, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

Shofar Factory comes to Kroger for High Holiday

KELLY MCBRIDE/STAFF

Fond farewell

Vice Mayor Debbie Grueninger, right, presents a proclamation to Butch Broermann, who retired after working 37 years for Glendale’s Public Works Department. Broermann was honored during a luncheon that included councilmembers Jenny Kilgore and Ralph Hoop, as well as other members of the Public Works Department. “We’ll miss him,” Kilgore said. “He’s a valuable, committed employee, as well as a friendly face.” Grueninger presented a proclamation that outlined Broermann’s history with the village. “Somebody has big shoes to fill,” she said.

fresh meat, fresh fish and sushi, and fine Kosher wine. There are also extensive freezer, fridge, and dry goods sections filled with all your High Holiday and general kosher shopping needs.

The Shofar Factory offers a firsthand know-how to the ins and outs of the Shofar. This interactive program includes a hands-on display of real animal horns fit for making the instrument, a presentation of the history, laws and spiritual meaning of the Shofar, and participation in the crafting of a beautiful, genuine Shofar from a raw ram’s horn. There is also an option for each participant to create his or her own individual Shofar including sanding the raw material and applying varnish for his or her personal touch. The fee is $9. The Shofar Factory provides an opportunity for the entire family to learn together, and bring meaning to the central Mitzvah of the High Holidays. “This is a great opportu-

nity to offer our Jewish customers a unique shopping experience”, said Tim Schuckman, manager at the Blue Ash Kroger. Kosher shoppers can now find a wide selection of baked goods, a full line of

This year, High Holiday shopping is turning into a family adventure at the Blue Ash Kroger. Chabad Jewish Center’s nationally-acclaimed Shofar Factory will be staging two free presentations in the Kosher department, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 5. While filling the cart with Matzah balls, gefilte fish, fresh-cut roast and more, the entire family will be entertained while making a Shofar from scratch. “The Shofar Factory will make the family’s Rosh Hashanah experience so much more exciting. This is a hands-on experience that provides a real thrill and a great education,”said Rabbi Berel Cohen, director of youth and family programming at Chabad Jewish Center. “Both adults and children participate and it is difficult to tell who is having more fun,” said Cohen.
