Tenth anniversary of Sept. 11

More than Friday nights

For families, football is week-long, year-round

By Jeanne Houck

MONTGOMERY – Fall is Jeff Barnhorst’s favorite time of year.

Vice president of the Sycamore Athletic Boosters, the Montgomery resident – a global business services employee of P&G – played football in high school and college.

Now Barnhorst has two sons in the Sycamore Community Schools who have played football since the fourth grade.

Sept. 11, 2011, is the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and United Airlines Flight 93 which crashed near Shanksville, Pa. • If your church, civic club or school is observing this tragic day in American history, the Community Press would like to know.

And while football games are in the fall, practice sessions begin early and the commitment can be year-round.

“High school practices really

kick off on Aug. 1 and they go from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. MondayWednesday-Friday and from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday,” Barnhorst said.

"On game weeks, they also go from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on Saturday.

“Junior varsity plays games on Saturdays versus Friday nights.

“Junior high also starts on Aug. 1 and is from 8:30 a.m. to noon every day of the week,” Barnhorst said.

“The high-school schedule really is year-round as they stress

strength and speed training during the off-season and over the summer.”

It’s worth it, Jeff Barnhorst believes.

“Athletics really help keep the boys active and physically fit and both have maintained good grades,” he said.

Barnhorst decided last school year that he wanted to do more than cheer on his sons from the sidelines.

When Phil Beck was elected to the Symmes Township Board of Trustees in 2007, one of the first projects that he worked on was getting a sidewalk on Humphrey Road.

He said that the stretch of road between Mistymorn Lane and Johnston Lane has an s-curve that made it “dangerous for families.”

When the sidewalk was installed in 2009, he said it created a better path for residents to get to Hopewell Meadows Park.

Adding the sidewalk was part of Beck’s 2007 campaign for trustee.

He said adding that sidewalk was “important” for residents in that area.

Former Symmes Township Trustee Eric Minamyer said the sidewalk built on Humphrey Road

“This helps the district keep the ‘pay to play’ fees lower and allows more kids to enjoy sports,” Barnhorst said.

“I worked primarily on

marketing and communications last year – as a matter of fact we now have a website so people can join online at sycamoreathleticboosters.com and get information about our spring social and golf outing.”

There are no prima donnas among the Sycamore boosters, Barnhorst said.

“In addition to the talent and time our booster board families bring to the table, we all run a concession stand at least three times per year – one time per

sports season,” Barnhorst said.

Barnhorst said he believe the Sycamore football program is good for his sons in particular and the community in general.

“Football provides great experiences that help build good strong young men by helping them develop skills like discipline, teamwork, responsibility, toughness, determination and sportsmanship,” Barnhorst said.

“Coach (Jim) Dejoy at the junior high also does a great job at building character. He has the football team do service projects and he really stresses character-building.

“Coach (Scott) Dattilo is really working to build a sense of community and camaraderie with the high school team,” Barnhorst said.

His son, Dan Apke, who has played football since the second grade, is a junior at Sycamore High School this year and will play fullback and safety for the football team.

“My son gets up around 6:30 every morning, goes to practice and returns around 3 p.m.,” John Apke said.

“Saturday morning he will have films.”

As a booster, Apke will work on a variety of projects, including the golf outing in the spring.

One thing will be easier this year, Apke said: “My son drives himself to all the practices.

“Football is a great game because every snap every player has an assignment and the success or failure of every play depends on each player doing his assignment,” John Apke said.

Adding sidewalks along township streets was part of the master plan that was written in 2007.

A resident voiced his concern during the July trustees meeting that a sidewalk should be a priority to help Symmes Township residents, especially those in the Woodwind Drive and Allegro Court neighborhood, access the new park that is being built on the Rozzi Property on Lebanon Road.

In phase one of the park construction project, there are no plans to build sidewalks or paths to connect the residents. Symmes Township Trustee Jodie Leis said during the July 2011 that the idea of paths and

sidewalks was talked about it in the planning process, but was not part of the first phase of construction. She said it could come up again for the next phases of the park over the next few years.

“It is not forgotten,” Leis said.

Minamyer said building a sidewalk along Union Cemetery was a part of the original plan for the new park that was discussed during his tenure as trustee.

He said the sidewalks should become a project separate from the new park construction.

“The sidewalks should not be made part of park development, which will delay construction. Since Union Cemetery is a county road, permission and cooperation will be required from the county engineer. This process takes time. Start the Woodwind-Union Cemetery sidewalk now,” Minamyer said.

Borchers said the entire sidewalk project to Hopewell Meadows Park cost $268,280.90, which includes construction, engineering plans and acquiring easements.

“It provides a great atmosphere and is a great excuse to get together with friends before, during or after the game.

“It also provides a great safe environment for kids to socialize and build school spirit,” Barnhorst said.

John Apke, also from Montgomery, was president of the Sycamore Athletic Boosters during the 20092010 school year and has been a board member since 2007.

In prior football seasons, Apke has been responsible for getting the concession booth ready – a chore that begins about 3:30 p.m. on game days.

“In the past I would help in the concession stand during the game and sell programs prior to the game,” said Apke, who owns Apke Carpet Care and played football in junior high school.

“This year I will be watching the game.”

Benatar to Blue Ash: Hit me with a little tuna salad

By Jeanne Houck BLUE ASH – Pat Benatar may sing “Hell is for Children,” but the delicate-faced spitfire apparently also believes stage left and stage right are for coolers of sports drinks and beer.

That’s according to the hospitality rider Benatar and her husband, guitarist Neil Giraldo, have sent the city of Blue Ash in anticipation of the couple’s performance at the Taste of Blue Ash 9 p.m.

Friday, Aug. 26.

The hospitality rider lists the drinks, food and other amenities – such as hand towels (black) and bath towels (white) – the singers and their entourage want Blue Ash to provide them.

Blue Ash Parks and Recreation Director Chuck Funk, who was not available for comment, has yet to study the list.

“It is important to note that the rider changes frequently,” said Kelly Osler, assistant to the Blue Ash city manager.

“This is an updated summer version that we recently received and we have not yet had the opportunity to respond to the performer with the items that we cannot/will not provide. So not everything listed will be provided, but this is what was requested,” Osler said.

Funk has taken a stand before. Last year he had to tell Night Ranger that Blue Ash could not agree to the group’s request for vodka and rum because the city cannot legally provide hard

Neil Giraldo and Pat Benatar will perform at Taste of Blue Ash Aug. 26. liquor. That probably means that this year’s request by Benatar’s band for whiskey, tequila and vodka in the dressing room will be denied, although they should get the beer, wine and bag of Oreo cookies they want.

Benatar herself has requested fresh-squeezed orange juice to mix with Veuve Clicquot (both words misspelled in the rider) or Moet (&) Chandon chilled champagne and ice in a clean bucket by 2 p.m. the day of the show. In addition, the 58-year-old Grammy winner wants a box of gluten-free rice wafers, a small serving of tuna salad and a small mixed-green salad – hold the onions.

Giraldo also has requested ice in a clean bucket, but he wants to cool down 12 bottles of Coors Light. He wants a 6-ounce can of raw, unsalted almonds, as well as pork rinds and a bunch of ripe bananas.

Benatar and Giraldo make a pitch for the environment in the rider, encouraging Blue Ash to help them “try to keep our planet a wonderful place” by recycling and limiting the use of

Red, flight and Blue Hot cars and cool jazz were the order of the day in the Blue Ash neighborhood of Aug. 13. The fifth annual car show featured scores of beautifully restored and vintage automobiles, tasty food, a playground for the kids and the mellow voice of DJ Gary Byrd.

Proceeds from the event this year will benefit the Honor Flight Tri State, which enables WWII Veterans to travel to Washington, D.C., where they visit various war memorials.

The car show is staged by The Untouchables Classic Car Club.

One of the show’s major sponsors was Don’s Auto Repair of Blue Ash. Owner Don Schnitzler, wife, Stacey, and daughter, Stella (18 months), watch over the spoiler of their classic ’71 Oldsmobile 442. They live in Mason.

Dan Fluker, one of the judges for The Untouchables Classis Car Club, sits at the wheel of his ’65 Ford Mustang. He’s been the proud owner for 20 years.

Known as the “Cincinnati Silver Fox,” Gary Byrd of Hazelwood belts out a patriotic selection to an appreciative audience.

Byrd performed DJ duties, sang, and, in general, was the voice of the party. Byrd performs at a wide variety of local venues and has excelled at numerous karaoke competitions.

One of the most expensive and lowest production Chryslers of 1956 was this New Yorker Town & Country Wagon. Owner Ed Finke (sitting) of Symmes Township says this is the original, and rare, mint green color. Finke, a board member, was representing the Honor Flight Tri State, which raises funds to enable WWII Veterans to visit war memorials in Washington, D.C.

Pillich to run for Congress … in one district or another Gannett News Sercice State Rep. Connie Pillich – the two-term Democratic state representative – said last week she will run for Congress in 2012.

The question she can not answer yet is which district she will run in – the 2nd Congressional District, where she lives now and where Republican Jean Schmidt is the incumbent – or in the 1st Congressional District, represented by

50-year-old Democrat said.

In 2008, Pillich, a lawyer and Air Force veteran, helped Democrats win control of the Ohio House by defeating Sharonville mayor Virgil Lovitt II. Last year, Democrats lost control of the Ohio House, but Pillich held on to her seat in a tough race against Cincinnati Tea Party founder Mike Wilson.

Pillich’s 28th Ohio House District stretches across northern Hamilton

Republican S t e v e Chabot, which is where her hometown of Montg o m e r y Pilllich may end up after new congressional district lines are drawn this fall.

“It doesn’t matter to me; I am committed to doing this and I think I have something to offer,” the

County and includes strong Democratic areas such as Forest Park, Woodlawn and Lincoln Heights.

The state apportionment board, which is controlled

by Republicans and is in the process of redrawing state legislative district lines, is considered likely to draw Pillich’s Montgomery home out of the district and putting it in a strong Republican district in northeast Hamilton County.

The Ohio General

Assembly – also controlled

by Republicans – is in the process of re-drawing congressional districts. Ohio, because of the recent census numbers showing only modest population growth for Ohio – will lose two districts, going from 18 to 16.

The 1st and 2nd Districts will survive, but Republican party sources say it is likely that Chabot will pick up much of northeast Hamilton County and at least part of Warren

County – areas that are now in Schmidt’s district.

That means until the new district boundaries are in place later this year, Pillich does not know which Republican incumbent she will be challenging.

“There are a lot of things I can not control and that is one of them,” Pillich said.

“Either way, I believe it is the perfect time for me to run. I know it won’t be easy, but I think I can make a difference.”

Twin Lakes still weighing Adult Day Program property purchase atLegacyCourtMemoryCare

MONTGOMERY – The owner of Twin Lakes in Montgomery continues to mull over the possible purchase of 3.7 acres of land on Montgomery Road just north of the development for seniors.

Life Enriching Communities in Miami Township – which owns Twin Lakes – had a purchase agreement with Automanage of Fairfield – which owns the property at 9876 Montgomery Road that Life Enriching Communities is eyeing – set to expire July 31.

The agreement was designed to give Life Enriching Communities time to investigate whether there would be any problems buying the property, for which Life Enriching Communities says it has no immediate plans.

Connie Kingsbury, vice president of marketing for Life Enriching Properties, said the organization has been given time extensions

Medians may improve Kenwood Road problems

By Amanda Hopkins ahopkins@communitypress.com

Medians could be a short term solution to traffic problems along Kenwood Road.

Ed Williams, an engineer with TEC Engineering Inc., said during a public meeting in Sycamore Township Aug. 9 that medians would eliminate the left turn lane along Kenwood Road between Montgomery Road and Euclid Avenue. He said the majority of accidents in that stretch of road come from drivers turning left and rearend collisions.

The medians would include landscaping and would allow left turns only at the traffic signals.

Sycamore Township Road Superintendent Tracy Kellums said funding through a state capital improvement grant could be available in July 2012. The township is working with TEC Engineering on the grant application and on an estimated cost for the project.

Several residents were also concerned with the deteriorating condition of Kenwood Road. Tim Gilday with the Hamilton County Engineer’s Office said the road would not be resurfaced until the median project would be completed.

There are also plans to move the utilities underground along Kenwood Road.

Wet soil slowing down Rozzi project

By Amanda Hopkins ahopkins@communitypress.com

Even with the recordtying heat and dry weather, the heavy spring rains may still affect the construction of the new park on the Rozzi property in Symmes Township.

Doug Rack, project manager from Turner Construction, said the soil is being aerated and recompacted to dry out the soil. He said if the soil is holding too much moisture, it would delay pouring asphalt.

The asphalt was expected to go

Still rolling along

The asphalt portion of the project is on hold but construction was scheduled to start on one of the restroom buildings the week of Aug. 22 at the new park on Rozzi property. Turner Construction Project Manager Doug Rack said crews are also working along Lebanon Road to tie into a water line. in the week of Aug. 8.

Rack said he would know later in the week whether the process worked. He said a chemical

lime stabilization may be needed to keep the project on schedule.

Depending on the status of the soil, the trustees may hold a special meeting next week to decide on whether to use the chemical stabilization.

The asphalt portion of the project is on hold but construction will start on one of the restroom buildings at the new park the week of Aug. 22.

Rack said crews are also working along Lebanon Road to tie into a water line.

What’s in a name

The Symmes Township Board of Trustees will have a public meeting this fall to start discussing possible names for the new park on Lebanon Road.

Trustee president Phil Beck said it is a good idea to involve the residents in the naming process.

“It’s going to be their park,” Beck said.

A time and place for the public meeting will be set at a later date.

SCHOOL NOTES National scholarships

Sycamore High School students Devin Choudury, Lindsey Johnson, Corinne Peters and Caroline Pineo and Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy’s Brett Shackson recently received a $2,500 National Merit Scholarship.

Choudury plans to study education to become an English literature professor. Johnson plans to study mechanical engineering.

Peters plans to study mathematics Pineo plans to study engineering. Shackson plans to study chemical engineering. All finalists competed for these awards.

To select scholarship winners, a committee of educators appraised a substantial amount of information submitted by both the finalists and their high schools: the academic record, including difficulty level of subjects studied and grades earned; scores from two standardized tests; contributions and leadership in school and community activities; an essay written by the Finalist; and the recommendation written by a high school official.

Good music

For the second consecutive year, the National Association of Music Merchants has named Sycamore Community Schools as one of the Best Communities for Music Education

in the nation, an honor only 14 districts in the state and 172 in the nation received.

A non-profit that promotes lifetime music participation, NAMM determines which districts will receive the prestigious honor by conducting an annual nationwide search to identify communities that exemplify a strong commitment to music education.

“Sycamore's music programs have deservingly received many honors, awards and recognitions throughout the years, but the neat thing about this award is that it acknowledges excellence throughout the entire district,” said Frank Forsthoefel, Sycamore's assistant superintendent of academic affairs.

“We are very proud of the efforts of our staff and students and we share this award with our entire community because we could not have achieved this level of excellence without their support.”

Mary Luehrsen, executive director of NAMM, agreed. “There is a direct correlation between music education and success in other areas of a student's life. And we are proud to acknowledge Sycamore and are grateful for their commitment to a complete education that includes music. Communities should celebrate the designation as a national recognition for their commitment to children.”

Sycamore Community Schools bus drivers prepared for the new school year by attending workshops that included CPR training, certification information, review of safety procedures and much more.

School in session, buses back on the roads

When school begins for Sycamore Community Schools on Aug. 25, 59 Sycamore bus drivers will begin to transport approximately 4,000 students on three separate routes in both the morning and afternoon to seven district schools, four voca¬tional schools and 23 non-public schools.

To do this, preschool, head start and kindergarten students are picked up and dropped off by their home whenever possible, as a parent or authorized adult must supervise younger students before the bus arrives in the morning and receive students at the end of the day.

To maintain time schedules; ensure student safety; and consolidate the costs of fuel, drivers and buses, students in grades one-12 are picked up in groups at stops located in front of a home of another student or at the corner of a residential street.

High school bus routes often have only one designated stop per neighborhood.

Busing assignments will be available at all Sycamore buildings

prior to the first day of school. To ensure students have continuous transportation service, parents should notify Central Registration at 686-1709 and the student’s school of any address changes at least one week prior to the change being effective.

When school begins for Sycamore students on Aug. 25, one of the greatest hazards to students will be from motorists who do not observe, or are unfamiliar with, the school bus safety lighting system and Ohio laws regarding stopped school buses.

Ohio uses an eight-light school bus warning system. These lights are located on the front and rear of the bus near the top by the “school bus” sign. When the bus is approaching a loading or unloading area, the yellow lights will flash. Red lights will flash when the bus is stopped to load or unload students, and a stop arm will be extended from the side of the bus.

The alternately flashing yellow lights mean “caution” to motorists because the bus is preparing to

stop. The flashing red lights and stop arm mean “stop.” Motorists are required to stop at least 10 feet from a stopped school bus that is displaying flashing red lights and a stop arm.

When a school bus stops to load or unload students on a road with one lane in each direction, or on a road with one lane in each direction plus a turn lane, all traffic must stop at least 10 feet from the bus. Motorists may continue only after the school bus resumes motion.

When a school bus stops to load or unload students on a road with two or more lanes in each direction, all traffic moving in the same direction must stop at least 10 feet from the bus. Motorists may continue after the school bus resumes motion.

Violation of the school bus stop law is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine up to $500.

For more information on school bus safety tips and Ohio laws, visit the Sycamore Community Schools website at www. sycamoreschools.org.

Sycamore named one of best communities for music education For the second consecutive year, the National Association of Music Merchants has named Sycamore Community Schools as one of the Best Communities for Music Education in the nation, an honor only 14 districts in the state and 172 in the nation received.

Portions of the identification process include gathering information about program funding, graduation requirements, program enrollment, instructional time, facilities, student access music programs, implementation of music as part of the core curriculum and general support for music programs.

A group of advisory organizations that includes representatives from Americans for the Arts, League of American Orchestras, The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, Music for All, Music Teachers National Association, National Guild For Community Arts Education, Yamaha Corporation of America, Young Audiences, National PTA and VH1 Save The Music Foundation help conduct

Trustees lost their way on sidewalk promises Your July 27, 2011 front page story concerns Symmes residents’ access to the Rozzi Park.

The original vision for this park and the sidewalk plan was that a sidewalk would be constructed on Union Cemetery Road from Woodwind Drive to the park.

This was expressed at board meetings and in public statements during the levy campaigns.

Unfortunately after I left the board, the funds for the sidewalk plan were diverted to a project not even on the list. In 2007 then candidate Phil Beck told residents in his neighborhood off Humphrey Road that he would

get a sidewalk built on Humphrey Road to the Hopewell Meadows Park.

My supporters learned of this from those standing at the Eric polls for Mr. Minamyer Beck as the reaCommunity son they were there. Mr. Beck Press guest used township columnist funds dedicated to one project to entice voters to support him. This is not just pork barrel spending, a

State Rep. Connie Pillich, a Montgomery resident, said she plans to run for Congress in 2012. What do you think her chances are of winning a seat?

“I am disappointed in Connie Pillich and certainly hope she does not run. We need people in office that want to actually represent the people rather than represent their party. The current state government has caused local government and the people great problems as they passed the debts they created down the ladder and then take credit for “no new taxes.” I wish I could pass off my debts as easy as they make it look. The national and state government is broken. It's time for a change. I only want someone to represent the people! Connie Pillich has had her chance and has failed.”

“If you say yes, then you should also have the antilock brakes and stability control removed from your car, advocate that airlines remove autopilots from planes, and insist that the shuttles at the airport have drivers on each train.

“There is no way, short of a disaster which reduces humanity to Stone Age conditions that will reverse the advanced technology that we have developed.

“There are facets of this technology that many of us fear and dislike (such as the amount of time spent by our young people ‘texting’ and using their cell phones.) But we are not going to reverse it.

“It is up to us to keep pace with the side effects of this technology – we aren’t going to reverse it. It is up to us to understand it, control it to the best of our ability, and to adapt. We can’t ‘ban’ it.”

practice decried by many, but it denied the levy voters what had been pledged to them.

The Humphrey Road sidewalk was very expensive and drained the sidewalk fund intended to build other sidewalks throughout the township.

Besides the Woodwind and Allegro area, many other neighborhoods will not get planned sidewalks.

I am distressed not only as a resident and taxpayer, but as one who devoted 18 years in local office keeping pledges made to voters when they approved levies.

It should not matter who was trustee when the pledge was made. Since the voters were told that sidewalks would be built in specific locations prior to the levy election, any trustee is duty bound to keep that promise.

Using as a campaign issue the diversion of funds to another project amounts to using government funds to bribe one neighborhood at the expense of others.

At the trustee meeting approving the Humphrey Road sidewalk, one resident said that she understood that the project was further down the list.

Acknowledging that this was

true the trustees announced that it would be built anyway. When they reneged on the levy promise they did so knowingly. It should be noted that Trustee Jodie Leis was not on the board at that time.

The sidewalks should not be made part of park development, which will delay construction.

Since Union Cemetery is a County Road, permission and cooperation will be required from the County Engineer.

This process takes time. Start the Woodwind-Union Cemetery sidewalk now.

Change Indian Hill schools’ start times How do you feel after a night of little sleep? Sluggish, irritable, unfocused, depressed? How would you feel if this happened night after night?

Unfortunately, for too many teenagers, lack of sleep and its consequences are a daily occurrence.

Teenagers require 91⁄4 hours of sleep for optimum growth and development. However, most teens get less than 8 hours and nearly half report less than 7 hours of sleep per night.

In our district, where buses start picking up students at 6:25 a.m., teens should be in bed and asleep by 9 p.m. the night before to get their requisite sleep.

Most parents would agree that such an early bedtime is impossible. School work, activities, family responsibilities and, most significantly, teen biology preclude an early bed time.

Scientific evidence confirms the biologic basis for altered sleep patterns in teens. Essentially, teenagers are hard-wired to be night owls.

Their sleep-wake cycle is shifted approximately three hours later than children and adults due to a delay in the release of the hormone melatonin.

Their wake cycle is also disrupted resulting in difficulty with awakening and alertness before 8

a.m. Early morning start times result in teens acquiring much less than the needed 91⁄4 hours of sleep, leading to chronic sleep deprivation.

Consequences include cognitive impairment, decreased concentration, mood swings, anxiety, and issues with impulse control that may lead to obesity and substance abuse.

In response to a growing body of evidence against early starts, schools across the country have changed to later start times, with positive results. These districts report increased academic achievement, attendance, and emotional well-being.

Notably, studies reveal teens do not stay up later as a result of later starts. Instead, they function more efficiently and respond with additional sleep.

Our district convened a task force on this issue in 2009 and surveyed parents in 2010. Over 420 families responded with the results being overwhelmingly in favor of a later start for the middle and high school.

More than 64 percent of families in all four schools felt that the start time for the middle and high school students should be later. A majority of staff supported this option as well.

Unfortunately, district administration has chosen to not pursue

a change citing Helen mostly logistical Koselka constraints.

Research Community detailing the Press guest pervasiveness columnist and consequences of sleep deprivation in our adolescents is clear. Our district should incorporate this evidence into modern educational initiatives and retire old models based more on convenience and habit, not science.

There is communitywide consensus that our teenagers will benefit from a later start time. Districts nationwide have successfully altered their start times and improved their children's education by first making the commitment.

Now is the time for our community to address this health concern. Opportunities to adopt a plan for later starts, including some revenue-neutral options, are available and achievable if demanded by the public.

Please promote this change by contacting the district administration. For more information, visit the website at http://ihl8start. blogspot.com or follow us on Facebook at Indian Hill L8 Start.

Smoking law Draconian ban Hamilton County Health Commissioner Tim Ingram stated in his article, “Smoke-free workplace law working” that “there remains a small handful of area establishments still thumbing their noses at the law under the guise of ‘freedom and liberty.’”

The smoking ban in Ohio is one of the most Draconian bans in the country. Most bans provide exemptions for liquor establishments. Throughout the state of Ohio hundreds of neighborhood liquor establishments have gone out of business since the imposition of the smoking ban. These businesses are for the most part family businesses.

The Buckeye Liquor Permit Holders Association has lobbied Ohio leaders for an exemption for bars and private clubs who cater only to an over 21 clientele. The bars that have incurred fines are neither nose thumbers nor freedom fighters. They are merely trying to survive in the hostile business atmosphere that is Ohio.

Bars have lost on average 30 to

If any bar owners saw an increase in sales, as was promised by the promoters of the ban, they would need their heads examined if they wanted to allow smoking

Ingram also stated, “to my knowledge this is the first such action in the state since the law took effect.” I would direct his attention to the Zeno’s case now in the Ohio Supreme Court. If the high court finds in favor of Zeno’s, the law will be overturned.

Regulatory agencies are keenly aware of that fact and the attorney general’s office is going after bars at this point because it is likely their last chance to collect

MONTGOMERY – The Sycamore Aviators provided Division I football with three players last season.

Coach Scott Dattilo saw WR/DB Darius Hillary go to Wisconsin, lineman Ben Rader to Wofford and lineman Dattilo Justin Murray to the hometown UC Bearcats.

Now, in his sixth season, Dattilo reloads with more talent hopSess ing to improve on last year’s 6-4 (4-3 GMC) record.

Playing in the Greater Miami Conference makes that easier said than done.

Sycamore defensive lineman Ben Mather peers at his opposition at practice during August. Mather led the Aves in sacks last season with four.

“It’s a great league top to bottom. You have a nationally ranked team year in and year out in Colerain.

All of us other schools are trying to catch up to them. It’s competitive every Friday night,” Dat-

tilo said.

Dattilo figures Colerain and Middletown are the clear No. 1 and No. 2. From there, he hopes to ride the talents of A.J. Williams to get in the mix.

Williams is a 6-6, 250-plus pounder who will eventually be off to the Michigan Wolverines.

He was recruited by Michigan coach Brady Hoke as a blocking end.

“He’ll play some tight end and tackle for us,” Dattilo said. “He’s doing a nice job. He’s big, he’s strong and has nice hands.”

Williams sees the move to

tackle as temporary, insisting he’ll again have his paws on the ball.

He credits his basketball skills (starting center for Aves) for his touch.

“I’ll catch some passes at Michigan,” Williams said. “I’ve got 4.8 or 4.9 speed in the 40.”

For now, it looks like A.J.’s receiving might have to wait until he gets to Ann Arbor.

“We hardly threw it all last year,” Dattilo said. “We don’t throw the ball a whole lot. We’re kind of a running-first team for various reasons.”

Running the ball for the Aves is quarterback Kyle Sess. He threw for just 300 yards last season, sharing the position. Junior Markus James is also set to get a lug or two behind the mighty Sycamore line anchored by senior Nick Dougherty.

“This might be the biggest line I’ve ever coached,” Dattilo said.

“We’re going to be very big and long. If we can get continuity and stay healthy, it good be one of the

The Sycamore defense is also strong up front with senior Ben Mather. He’s surrounded by some youthful talent and exuberance.

The Aves kick it all off at home Aug. 26 against Withrow. The Tigers are as athletic as anyone and have veteran Jim Place now as their coach.

“New coach and I’m assuming new scheme,” Dattilo said. “It’ll be a new start.”

CHCA searches for success at new level

SYMMES TWP. - Division V was good to the Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy football team.

In the 13 years the school's program has been in existence, CHCA qualified for the state playoffs six times, and was runner-up during the 2005 campaign.

But this season, the Eagles will face a tougher challenge, as CHCA will now compete at the Divi- Taylor sion IV level, making it the smallest Division IV program in the state.

Head coach Eric Taylor said the biggest challenge facing the Eagles at the new

division of play will be margin for error.

At 7-4, CHCA qualified for the playoffs last year. That number might not cut it in 2011.

"You see teams that were 7-3 and 8-2 that don't qualify for the playoffs," Taylor said. "That the biggest challenge. We've got to take care of business in the regular season and compete with a challenging schedule."

Taylor believes it will take eight victories to make the playoffs.

In doing so, the Eagles will feature a mix of inexperienced and experienced players on its 2011 roster.

Two of those players who haven't seen much time at the varsity level include quarterbacks Kyle Davis and Conner Osborne The tandem are currently competing for the school's starting job.

Taylor said both players are similar and both can distribute the football.

Davis and Osborne are both sophomores, and will replace the recently graduated Nick Lawley, who accepted a football scholarship to Brown University.

Despite losing Lawley, Taylor has confidence in the two up-andcomers.

"They both know our offensive systems very well and...they are both doing a very nice job."

Either quarterback should find success in finding 6-foot-4 wideout Austin Jones.

Jones, who has been offered a scholarship by the University of Toledo, led the city in touchdowns (16) and receiving yards (1,187) as a junior.

The senior should prove to be a valuable weapon for CHCA quarterbacks again this fall.

"He's quite a weapon. He's athletic and has a great frame on him," Taylor said.

On the line, experienced returners should be able to aid the Eagles' sophomore quarterbacks.

Linemen returning include Josh

Thiel, Jake Thiel, Tyler Kirbabas and Pierson Dunn.

And center James Riley took about half the snaps at varsity last year, according to Taylor. "(The line) is a great example of where experienced guys can take the pressure off inexperienced guys," Taylor said. "That's their role, and I'm confident they'll do it well."

On defense, Taylor said the linemen and linebackers will serve as the unit's core.

Many of the names on the offensive line will play on the defensive line, while running back Sam Becker will do double time at linebacker Brandon Moore, a 300-pound lineman, and senior Zach James, will also return to the line.

Moeller faces championship schedule

By Scott Springer

sspringer@communitypress.com

MONTGOMERY – The Moeller Crusaders have carried out preseason practice under the watchful eye of coach Gerry Faust.

That’s not a line from the 1970s. It’s the truth.

A gold statue of the legendary Crusader coach gazes over the field turf practice field at the Moeller athletic complex.

Some wonder if it screams out hoarse commands in the wee hours of the night.

“Gerry looks over us every practice,” fourth-year coach John Rodenberg said.

Thus far, Rodenberg likes the talent he sees climbing the steps and passing the statue each day.

“So far we’ve felt pretty good,”

Rodenberg Watkins Rodenberg said. “We’ve got a good nucleus of returning starters.

We don’t have to replace a whole team. We feel we have some good juniors that are going to help us out.”

Highlighting Moeller’s talent is senior receiver Monty Madaris.

“He’s got a number of Big Ten offers, and I really feel he’ll be one of the better players,” Rodenberg said. “He’s really looked good and worked hard.”

At tight end, and fielding MidAmerican Conference offers right now is John Tanner.

“He’ll really surprise people,”

Rodenberg said."He’s about 6-4, 250. A good looking tight end for us.”

To complement the athleticism of Madaris and toughness Kern of Tanner is the speedy junior Keith Watkins.

“He’ll really give some people some fits,” Rodenberg said. “He’s a small, scatback-type kid. We’ll limit his carries, but we think he’s a home run every time he touches the ball.”

Senior linebacker Dillon Kern will anchor the defense along with fellow seniors Tyler Williford and Cody Elias.

“I think he (Kern) is going to have a monster season at linebacker for us,” Rodenberg said.

Big things are also expected of big seniors Eric Lalley (275 pounds) and Kevin RobinsonWhite (300).

Oct. 28 @ Trinity, Ky. All games are 7:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted.

As big as the Crusaders are, their schedule and mystique are bigger. To repeat as GCL-South champs is a tall order.

“I was looking at our schedule and the composite schedule of those we play,” Rodenberg said.

“X, Elder and us play such a brutal schedule. I think it’s who’s healthy at the end of the year. I think it’s going to be a war between us three. We’ll see what happens.”

Out-of-conference games are no picnic either for the Crusaders.

The saying, “To be the best you’ve got to beat the best” is true this season along Montgomery Road.

“Unbelievable!” Rodenberg said of his non-conference opponents.

“Our last three games are against the state champs of Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. We’ve got our work cut out for us, but the teams we play in the GCL have their work cut out for them too.”

At presstime, Rodenberg was still undecided at quarterback.

Juniors Ricky Davis and Spencer Iacovone have been dueling most of August.

“One throws it a little bit better and one runs it a little bit better,” Rodenberg said. “They’re two good quarterbacks that could start with anybody in the league.”

One or both could take the field in Moeller’s opener Aug. 27 against Pickerington Central.

However, Rodenberg will not have them in any tandem rotation.

Seniors set stage for CCD Indians’ season

By Nick Dudukovich ndudukovich@communitypress.com

INDIAN HILL – The Cincinnati Country Day School and head coach Tim Dunn return 12 seniors to the gridiron for the start of the football season.

The Indians will look to improve off last season’s 4-6 record.

Despite boasting a dozen seniors, head coach Tim Dunn is staying cautiously optimistic about his team’s chances this fall because if any of his upperclassmen sustain injuries, the Indians don’t have the depth to overcome their losses.

“We like our first group,” Dunn said. “We’re worried if anyone gets hurt, we don’t have much behind them.”

At quarterback, three-year letterman Jake Dietz will take the snaps.

Dunn believes his signal caller has high expectations for himself this fall.

“He throws the ball well, and

he runs well and he’s athletic,” Dunn said. “He’s hoping to exploit all of those things.”

Dietz’s primary target will be Dunn receiver Reed Davis, while running backs Arjun Minhas, Jordan Patterson and Zac Higginbotham should see plenty of touches out of the backfield.

Dunn, who has a 17667 career record as a head coach, will also return an experienced offensive line, led by Anthony McDaniel, Vincent Hardin and 6-foot-5, 210-pound De’Vere Highsmith.

Highsmith, who is one of the seniors, was new to football as a freshman, but is poised to be force for the Indians in the trenches in his final prep season.

“He’s come a long way,” Dunn said. “He’s a real earth-mover.”

On defense, CCD will rely heavily on the linebacker corps of Higginbotham and Evan Finch.

Many of the squad’s offensive players will play on both sides of the ball this season, according to Dunn.

Dunn and company open the season against Clermont Northeastern, Aug. 26, before hosting Kentucky Pendleton County, Sept.

2.

The squad will be tested in the final two weeks of September, when it heads to CHCA, Sept. 23, and North College Hill, Sept 30.

Both teams are considered to be favorites to win the conference by area coaches.

The Indians will aim to qualify

Moeller senior tight end John Tanner looks for increased attention this season. Tanner caught three passes and had three sacks on defense for the Crusaders a year ago.

Last year, while competing at the Division VI level, CCD was close to qualifying, despite finishing two games under .500.

The top eight teams from each region qualify. CCD finished 12th.

The eighth team was Minster, who finished 5-5.

With an experienced crew returning, Dunn would like to see his squad return to the postseason.

“We just missed last year, and we haven’t been in a while,” he said. “If we stay healthy and play well, we’ll have a good chance of getting into the playoffs.”

Despite No. 1 rank, St. X football looks to get better

By Tony Meale

Game days

presspreps@gmail.com

SPRINGFIELD TWP. – Mixed feelings.

That’s probably the best way to describe Steve Specht’s outlook on preseason rankings. Nice compliment, great source of pride – but what, truly, do they mean?

“You don’t win football games based on preseason rankings,” the St. Xavier High School football coach said. “Like Specht I told our guys, we’re not very good right now. I think we can be good, but right now, we’re not very good.”

Well, that “not very good” football team happens to be the preseason No. 1-ranked team in the city.

“Throw ’em away,” Specht said in a don’t-do-this-to-me-now voice. “Preseason rankings are simply the result of what you’ve done in the past. We appreciate the No. 1 ranking, but we need to get better.”

The Bombers had little trouble doing that last year. After a 5-4 regular season, St. X secured playoff wins over La Salle and Colerain, which went a combined 203, before falling to eventual state runner-up Huber Heights Wayne in the regional finals.

St. X returns 14 starters – eight on offense, six on defense – from that 7-5 team, including all-state senior running back Conor Hundley, who in the last two years has rushed for more than 2,500 yards.

He scored 19 touchdowns as a junior.

“I think Conor’s as good – if not better – than any running back in the state,” Specht said, “and I wish colleges would look at it the same way because he’s a special, special player. I think he’s a major-college running back. He’s as good as anyone I’ve coached.”

Hundley will be joined by fellow captains Griffin Dolle, a quar-

Beefed-up Braves ready for the CHL

By Scott Springer

sspringer@communitypress.com

INDIAN HILL - Thanks to some muscle up front, the Indian Hill Braves could be the most improved team in the Cincinnati Hills League according to some insiders.

That muscle specifically Theisen comes in the form of senior lineman Steve Bell. At 67 and 290 pounds, Bell has committed to block for Ball State next season. Indian Hill coach Mike Theisen believes Bell might be the first guy from the school to make a Division I commitment so early.

This season, Theisen is ready for Bell and ready for the bell to start a new season.

“Last year was a very disappointing year for us,” Theisen said. “We sustained a lot of injuries. We certainly hope to improve and have some real goals.”

Senior tackle Rob Decker and senior fullback Jack Schaub will assist Bell as the Braves seek to pound the ball a little more this season.

“We feel the talent’s there,” Theisen said. “The numbers are down in players this year, but the quality we have is far superior

cally tough schedule, travel to Colerain for a Week-3 clash Sept. 9.

Although the Cardinals, ranked No. 2 in the city, haven’t lost at home since 1999, Specht relishes the opportunity to play a nonleague local – especially outside of a showcase event.

“Now that’s high school football in Cincinnati,” Specht said.

“I’m going to argue year in and year out that we need to get more local games. I wish to God we could get back to that, but I don’t know that we ever will.”

The Bombers have taken two straight against Colerain, and even If they don’t make it three, the game figures to be close; ten of Specht’s 17 career losses have come by five points or fewer.

“Week 1 through Week 10, we’re going to be challenged,” Specht said. “I don’t think we’re very good, but I like where we are.

We’ve got a lot of work to do.”

than what we’ve had in the last year or so.”

Toting the rock more often than not will be senior Austin Trout.

Trout was cast into the new role when Theisen deemed him the best athlete in the program.

“We don’t have a natural tailback, so we’ve taken one of our wide receivers and converted him to a tailback,” Theisen said. “We’ll be very wide open with him. We’ll run a lot of options and put him in a screen package. He’s not going to be a conventional downhill running tailback.”

The offense is also a little unconventional, thanks to quarterback injuries last season.

“We run out of the pistol, so we have the fullback next to the tailback,” Theisen said. “His (Trout’s) production will be good.”

The Indian Hill quarterback is senior Tyler Marrs who shared time with Sam Voss last season.

“He has seven starts under his belt and we’re real excited about him,” Theisen said. “He’s an excellent thrower and decent runner.”

When Marrs lands passes to senior receiver Teddy Kremchek or pitches to Trout with Schaub blocking, Theisen believes the Braves can play with anyone in the league.

“It’s a tough conference this year,” Theisen said. “Madeira’s going to be extremely strong and Wyoming’s always strong. We think we’re going to surprise some people.”

In his 18th year coaching at

Indian Hill (third as head coach) Theisen will have to grind it out this season, like many in the league do.

“We have a lot of multi-sports players in the CHL,” Thiesen said.

“For the first time in eight years, we’re a one-platoon team. We’re not able to do two-platoon this year. We don’t have the numbers or the kind of kids. We’re going to have four kids playing both ways.”

Theisen again will rely on Trout

2011 football preview

Vikings come together under new leadership

By Adam Turer

kysports@communitypress.com

SHARONVILLE – Gary Croley is back at Princeton and eager to lead the Vikings back to prominence.

Croley was an assistant coach the last time Princeton reached the playoffs in 2007. He is in his first year as head coach and already led the Vikings through some trying times.

Safety Lamar Williams was killed in July, but Croley led his new team through the mourning and into the 2011 season.

“A situation like that does one of two things: Either you each go on your own, or you come together and cope and help each other through it,” Croley said. “Fortunately, we chose the latter. We cry together, we sweat together, and hopefully soon we will win together.”

The Vikings have some experienced players returning from last year’s 3-7 season. Senior quarterback Nate McGill leads the Vikings’ triple option offense out of the pistol. The Vikings have a host of athletes who can get touches, and this offense is built on spreading around the carries.

“We decided this was the best offense to put with the style of

athlete that comes through Princeton High School,” Croley said. “I think the kids have picked it up pretty well.”

McGill is Hendrix backed in the backfield by a host of running backs, each capable of breaking off big chunks of yardage every time they touch the ball.

Demarco Thomas, Trey Watkins, Darian Nelson and Daryan Martin will all get touches out of the backfield or the slot.

“We will platoon some juniors and sophomores to give us depth in the backfield,” Croley said. “It is very important for us to have depth back there.”

Tony Hendricks played primarily on defense last year but will help the offense this year as McGill’s top receiving target.

De’Arius Young leads the offensive line and is one of three returning starters up front. Blake Burnett and Robert Thompson are also back on the line for Princeton.

Junior Darrell Davis will be one of the team’s top two-way players. Davis will get carries out of the slot running back spot and lead the secondary at cornerback.

Daryan Martin, an Akron commit, leads the defensive line from his end position.

He is joined up front by senior William Eddings. Senior linebacker Jahlil Croley is the one of the Vikings’ top players and will also spend time up front on the line. His versatility is one of the keys to the Vikings’ defense.

“We are pretty good up front on defense,” said Coach Croley.

“We have good depth.”

TONY TRIBBLE/CONTRIBUTOR

Gary Croley, new head football coach at Princeton High School, runs practice, Wednesday, Aug. 3. game every week,” Croley said.

“The motivation to succeed is already there.”

The Vikings have come together and enter the 2011 season competing not just for themselves, but for each other. The program has suffered multiple tragic losses over the past few seasons. Croley wants his team to come together and focus on how to succeed, hoping that the players continue to count on one another and the coaching staff for encouragement and support.

“We need to make sure we’re paying attention to detail and taking care of the small things,” Croley said.

The Vikings open the season Friday, Aug. 26, at Nippert Stadium against Anderson High School as part of the Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown.

Gluten-free food doesn’t have to be taste-free Each morning I say a prayer asking for guidance in setting priorities for what is usually a crazy busy day.

Well, today that prayer led me to an interesting woman who is contributing to the health of folks who have gluten and other allergies. Her name is Chris Coleman and here’s how we met.

I was trying to decide where to go first, Kroger or GFS. GFS won out and as I was walking in, Chris was walking out and introduced herself.

She’s an Anderson Township reader who said, “I saw your pancake recipe in the paper and thought how nice it would be to share a gluten-free version.”

Turns out she’s got a thriving business selling her tasty gluten-free, dairy-free goods at area retailers and it all started because her son is gluten intolerant.

Her story is inspiring and shows that there’s a reason for challenges in our lives.

She told me, “My son was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2001 at age 11.

At that time as a mother of a child with food restrictions I chose to go gluten-free him so Rita with we could figHeikenfeld ure out how Rita’s to live this life kitchen new style and enjoy it.

“Ten years ago there was very little information about gluten-free, the selection of gluten-free choices were so slim and the products you could buy were not very good at all.

“I started baking every day. In the beginning we threw more food away I made rather than eating it.

Even today it sometimes takes me a few tries to get it right and taste great.

“My son is now 21 and my mission is to help get more great tasting choices of gluten-free foods available for those who need them. I do make quite a few of my products dairy-free as well.”

You can also do this by hand by putting the nuts in a plastic food bag and hitting them with a mallet and then mixing them with the cornmeal, etc.

Dredge fish in cornmeal mixture, patting it to coat well. Film a pan with oil over medium high heat.

Lawyer to help women survive divorce Women facing the process of a divorce can feel overwhelmed by questions and concerns: “Can I move out? Can I take money out of the bank account? Can I take the kids with me? How much will this cost? How long will this take?”

To answer these questions and more, divorce attorney Nancy Frazier, a partner with The Drew Law Firm of downtown Cincinnati, is part of a multi-disciplinary panel of women offering a free workshop for women preparing for a

divorce.

“Survival Saturday” will take place from 8:30 a.m. to noon Saturday, Aug. 27, at the Towers of Kenwood (west portico entrance), 8044 Montgomery Road.

A woman’s emotional response to a divorce shouldn’t stop her from being prepared and organized for legal proceedings, according to divorce attorney Nancy Frazier.

“Getting a good game plan in the works helps women alleviate both the stress and negative emotions, and it shifts the focus to

what can and needs to happen rather than what has happened,” said Frazier, a 17-year veteran family law attorney who is both sensitive and practical when it comes to helping her clients.

Recognizing that women’s emotions range from confusion to elation when confronting the divorce process, she notes that the workshop is “warm and friendly, like a conversation with your girlfriends in some ways.”

“Women tend to be vulnerable to emotional triggers in the

divorce that men typically are not,” she explains. “As a result, women can be at a disadvantage.

Divorce is like a business transaction to some degree. As a woman, I want to help other women through this process so their emotions will not negatively affect the outcome.”

There will be trained financial and mental health professionals familiar with all aspects of the divorce process offering their advice and assistance.

“I want to empower women

who think they cannot survive without their spouse or that they are unable to fend for themselves,” Frazier said. “This workshop teaches women to surround themselves with a team of professionals who will help them make wise decisions throughout the divorce and beyond.”

To reserve a place, send an email to Frazier at nfrazier@ drewlaw.com or call her at 6218210.

There is no charge, but space is limited.

Trinity Community Church

Trinity was originally affiliated with the United Church of Christ and three years ago joined the Evangelical Covenant Denomination. The members of Trinity felt that as a church, they wanted to change their focus to the more immediate and local needs of the community.

So began an effort of reach out to the neighborhood of Deer Park and Dillonvale, and to families with young children and the more immediate needs of their neighbors.

Trinity has launched a new Contemporary Service called The Source at 6 p.m. the third Saturday of every month. Pastor Randy Wade Murphy and guest speakers will give the message as well as a live band leading worship music. Pizza and drinks will follow each service.

Trinity has instituted several new outreach programs, including Trinity Together Time which is a free program every other Tuesday, for Moms, Parents and Grandparents who take care of small children.

The church hosts an hour and a half of activities, songs and crafts so that parents, grandparents and moms can have healthy, safe, creative interaction with other adults as well as providing quality time with the children. The church also has a preschool available on site.

Youth of Trinity have given bottled water away in the summertime at Dillonvale Shopping Center. The choir sings at the Sycamore Township holiday hayride event. Trinity also hosts a free community dinner the last Tuesday of every month. The church also gave coffee and granola bars away to parents and drivers on the first day of school.

From 5-8 p.m. on Sept. 10 the church will have its Family Fun Fest. In addition to free food, 10 cent games, face painting and raffle baskets, new this year are speed pitch, spin art and a bigger better bounce house. Chris Neeley, Music Director, is providing live music from The Source Band.

International transformation leader Ed Silvoso will be at Montgomery Community Church Saturday, Aug. 27 for an At Work on Purpose “Transform Our World” event.

Known as the “Billy Graham of Europe,” Silvoso is one of the world’s leading practitioners of city-wide and national spiritual transformation.

Church hosts ‘Billy Graham of Europe’ At Work on Purpose (AWOP) of Greater Cincinnati will conduct a “Transform Our World” event Saturday, Aug. 27, at the Montgomery Community Church, 11251 Montgomery Road.

The event is led by Ed Silvoso, one of the world’s leading practitioners of citywide and national spiritual transformation.

Silvoso is an expert at harnessing the creativity and energy of Christians in the work place.

A master speaker who is essentially the “Billy Graham of Europe,” and a leading figure on the international stage, he was a featured speaker at AWOP’s annual February event.

He is the founder and director of Transform Our World and Harvest Evangelism, which minister to the citizens of 300 cities on six continents.

“We are thrilled that Ed will be in Cincinnati for this event,” said Chuck Proudfit, founder and president of AWOP. AWOP has offices in Mason and Blue Ash. “We are working in partnership with him and Transform Our World to expand our spiritual impact here locally and share our best practices with them for application worldwide.”

The event will include three breakout “fast tracks” to inspire Cincinnati Christians to engage in marketplace transformation: • Adults – Dramatic results from other U.S. cities will show how marketplace leadership can contribute to city-wide spiritual transformation.

• College students and pastors – Practical perspectives on the tough realities of work will guide emerging

workers towards a vocational call rather than the standard career.

• Youth and youth pastors – Transformation Foundations will help the young and those working with youth, reclaim work as a form of worship, with true spiritual significance.

“Our goals with this conference are three-fold,” Proudfit said. “To share a wide range of inspiring faith-at-work transformation stories from cities all over the world; to equip participants with a set of practical tools to enhance our spiritual impact at work; and to connect participants to impact projects that will flow out of this Cincinnati conference.”

Silvoso was drawn to Cincinnati because of the rapid growth of AWOP, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people integrate their faith and work lives. With more than 5,000 members in greater Cincinnati alone, AWOP is the largest city-wide marketplace ministry in the nation.

AWOP supports Christians in connecting to work through individualized, small group, and project initiatives. Its membership includes Christians from local churches, denominations and zip codes throughout the Tristate.

Proudfit is also president of the fast-growing SkillSource business consultancy, which was named a 2010 TriState Success Award winner and designated a 2011 Perfect 10 Certified Corporate Culture.

Last week he received a Venue magazine civic leadership and service award.

In 2009, under Proudfit’s leadership, AWOP was a partner in expanding to 22 Cincinnati locations the region’s Job Search Focus Groups, networking organizations for the unemployed.

This network has emerged as the largest city-wide job search support group in the U.S. AWOP also helped implement the Career Achievement Network, a Web site linking the unemployed with jobs.

AWOP was founded by Proudfit in 2003 as a ministry with three dimensions: to help people link their faith and work lives one work life, one work place, and one work community at a time.

For more information or to register for Transform Our World, go to www.transformourworld.org/cincinnati.

The event costs $20, which includes all materials.

Student wins Mr. INTERalliance award

Emergency family shelter provides support to additional guests tions for volunteers, social service agencies for assessment and referrals, and existing facility for day programs. During the day, families receive professional case management, healthcare, classes and supportive services that allow them to obtain housing and self-sufficiency. This strategy enables networks to help homeless families achieve lasting independence at a much lower cost margin than traditional shelters.

Interfaith Hospitality Network of Greater Cincinnati, emergency shelter provider for homeless families, temporarily increased its capacity to three-networks Aug. 21.

Networks consist of a host congregation (who provide overnight accommodations in their place of worship) and support congregations who provide additional food, supplies and volunteer support. Participating IHNGC congregations represent nearly every neighborhood and denomination in the Cincinnati region. Moving to threenetwork systems allows the agency to support 12 families at one time, up from the previous eight families that were supported in the twonetwork system.

During hot summer months, homeless families have a greater need of support from agencies. Families often rely on relatives to get them by while working on finding stable housing. Relatives feel a sense of obligation during cold months of winter, but often the additional burden is too much for summer months. Therefore, homeless families look to the support of organizations such as Interfaith Hospitality Network of Greater Cincinnati.

“We are so pleased to be able to increase the capacity of our agency during this time of need. The generosity of the faith community is simply amazing.” said Laura Warren, IHNGC board president.

In response to this crisis, the Interfaith Hospitality Network of Greater Cincinnati brings the faith community together to help families regain their housing, their independence, and their dignity. IHNGC is a partnership of congregations, helping families who are facing homelessness. It offers an opportunity for volunteers of all faiths to reduce homelessness and transform lives.

Since 1991, the IHNGC program has grown to include 27 host congregations and 63 support congregations representing people of Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim and Unitarian faiths. They mobilize community resources: houses of worship for lodging, congrega-

main focus of the camp was on problem solving.
