Movie rings a bell
If Kate and Chris Bell check out the new Drew Barrymore movie called “Going the Distance” in the next few weeks, they’ll probably be able to relate pretty well to the main characters. The couple met 10 years ago and spent the first several months of their relationship living in separate states. The Bells, much like the characters in the upcoming movie, had to survive the trials of a long-distance relationship. SEE STORY, A3

Psychology and art appreciation will be offered for the first time this school year at Aves Academy, Sycamore High School’s progressive, technologyinfused, online education program. School officials say Aves Academy was founded two years ago to meet the diverse needs of stuTanner dents at the high school and offers a rigorous and supportive academic that emphasizes personal responsibility. “We encourage our students,” said Marilee Tanner, Aves Academy administrator. “We cheer them. We love them. “We are family.” Students attending Aves Academy will be back in a computer lab in the University of Cincinnati Education Wing at Blue Ash Elementary School when school starts Thursday, Aug. 26, in the Sycamore Community Schools. The students, believed to thrive in a non-traditional school environment, take online courses in math, English, science, social studies, languages, fine arts and health to complete graduation requirements. The curriculum, supplied by Apex Learning of Seattle, meets state and national educational standards. Assisting the students are one part-time math teacher and two English teachers who split their time between Aves Academy and Sycamore High School in Montgomery.
A counselor is available for group and individual counseling, and stays in touch with the students’ families. Tanner, who also serves as part-time assistant principal at Edwin H. Greene Intermediate School in Blue Ash, expects to have as many as 15 students each in Aves Academy’s morning and afternoon sessions this year. Students attend Aves Academy for a variety of reasons. Some have medical concerns, attendance issues, require more flexibility for their needs or goals, or need a smaller setting or different method of learning to do their best.
Tanner said that at Aves Academy, 14 of 16, or 87 percent, of students eligible to graduate in 2009 – the end of the academy’s first full year – graduated. She said 13 of 16, or 81 percent, of Aves students eligible to graduate in 2010 graduated. A companion program, called CART (Credit Acquisition and Recovery through Technology), offers Sycamore High School students the opportunity to obtain class credits with online courses they take during study hall at the high school. Aves Academy partners with Blue Ash Elementary to give students real-world experience and

Tasteful information
Taste of Blue Ash musical acts have unique requests
By Jeanne Houck jhouck@communitypress
The Guess Who must have gotten used to having no sugar in its coffee, because the band’s hospitality rider for the Taste of Blue Ash orders it black. Phil Vassar may sing about a “Six-Pack Summer,” but he’s one of the few musicians performing at the event – running from Friday, Aug. 27, to Sunday, Aug. 29 – not to ask for booze. Remember when pop groups coming to town needed just a sound check and a passing knowledge of the guitar? If it was ever true, times have changed. Nowadays, artists who come to town generally follow on the heel of detailed lists of demands, and

the artists performing in Blue Ash are no exception. Night Ranger promised that, “You Can Still Rock in America,” but they won’t do it in Blue Ash without four packs of Orbit gum and a box of baby wipes. Justin Moore won’t get out of bed without four to six Sharpies and six energy drinks that last five hours. Player sang “This Time I’m in it for Love,” but the group has expanded the sentiment to include a dressing room with two fulllength mirrors. And don’t even ask the Atlanta Rhythm Section to walk on stage without 25 hand towels and a blue bag of cough drops.

Tanner said Aves Academy hopes to develop partnerships with the University of Cincinnati’s Raymond Walters College in Blue Ash and the business community in the future. “Sycamore Community Schools is committed to the success of all students, and in Aves Academy, students can learn in an environment that is more conducive to their needs,” said Vince Rahnfeld, high school counselor. “By using small classes and technology, we will provide students with a positive learning environment in which their goals and aspirations will become realities.”

Police pay hike to be voted on By Jeanne Houck jhouck@communitypress
Montgomery City Council is scheduled to vote Wednesday, Sept. 1, on a proposed contract with a police union that includes a 2 percent salary increase in 2010 and increases of 1.75 percent in both 2011 and 2012. The three-year agreement negotiated with the Fraternal Order of Police, Ohio Valley Lodge No. 112, is retroactive to July 1 of this year. The FOP also has yet to vote on it. Provisions in the proposed police contract, which covers all full-time patrol officers and sergeants, include: • addition of a half-day of vacation for Christmas Eve, which other city employees already enjoy;
• language to prevent the city from working officers beyond their regularly scheduled 2,080 hours a year in the four-days-on, two-days-off schedule, unless officers are paid timeand-a-half; • an increase in compensatory time, as opposed to overtime pay, from 40 hours a year to a maximum of 57 hours a year; • a hike in the uniform-cleaning allowance. Assistant City Manger Wayne Davis said negotiations began July 20 and ended Aug. 3. “On the wage issue, the city proposed 1 percent increases for two years, while the initial proposal of the FOP was for 3 percent increases for
three years,� Davis said. Montgomery City Council also is expected to vote Sept. 1 on a contract with the Sycamore Community Schools in which the city would provide the district with a patrol officer to serve as a school resource officer for the 2010-2011 school year. The district would pay 60 percent of the cost and the city 40 percent. Police Chief Don Simpson said the school resource officer program was established in 2001. “The program continues to be a success and our partnership with the school district remains as a valuable piece of our strategy to provide superior services to our citizens,� Simpson said.

Don’t worry that the singers won’t be able to wet their whistle. The beer requested by many is allowed. “The tech riders for this year’s Taste of Blue Ash are actually quite tame compared to some requests we have received over the years,� Funk said. “I recall one artist who wanted five different flavors of Graham Crackers in his dressing room – I didn’t even know they made five different flavors of Graham Crackers.
“We also had a request for a full Thanksgiving dinner for 30 – on the Fourth of July,� Funk said. “Most of the time the bands are very willing to negotiate their want list down to more reasonable requests. We try to accommodate as much as possible, but most of the time they are willing to settle for just some of what they request.� For all the fuss over musical acts, food from local restaurants probably is expected to remain the main attraction at the Taste of Blue Ash, which is in its 25th year. It will be held at Blue Ash Towne Square at the corner of Hunt and Cooper roads and also feature rides and games.

Couple’s life is movie material By Amanda Hopkins
“If our marriage is any indication, long-distance relationships certainly can work for the long term.”

If Kate and Chris Bell check out the new Drew Barrymore movie called “Going the Distance” in the next few weeks, they’ll probably be able to relate pretty well to the main characters. The Kenwood residents met 10 years ago and spent the first several months of their relationship living in separate states. The Bells, much like the characters in the upcoming movie, had to survive the trials of a longdistance relationship. No one knows the movie’s ending just yet, but for the Bells, spending the first months of their relationship communicating by telephone and visiting each other every few weeks showed the couple they wanted to be together – and gave them a start in writing their own book. “Our book was really the first of its kind-a full-length relationship book based on

Chris and Kate Bell, Kenwood residents who wrote the book “The Long Distance Relationship Survival Guide: Secrets and Strategies from Successful Couples Who Have Gone the Distance” share a few insights from surviving their own long-distance relationship. • “It’s funny, because you don’t learn the day-to-day stuff right away – like how she takes her coffee – it can be months before you even think to ask that. But you learn the really important stuff from the start – what things she’s passionate about, what she wants out of life. I think it’s like that for so many long-distance couples because when you are living in separate cities, sometimes all you have is communication.” – Chris • “We talked to each other at least once every day ... We visited one another about every two weeks ... What works for one couple may seem smothering to another ... The difference is, with longdistance relationships, there is so much scheduling involved. You schedule visits, you schedule phone calls, you schedule online chats. Spontaneity is one of those fun aspects of dating that is more difficult to create with a long-distance relationship.” – Kate

Kate Bell said the stress of traveling and living apart almost caused the two to break up but Chris moved to Cincinnati so the two could be together. “We were too much in love to walk away,” Kate said. The Bells have been married for seven years and have three children. “If our marriage is any indication, long-distance relationships certainly can work for the long term,” Kate said.

Even after a few warnings, car break-ins continue to rise in Sycamore Township. Hamilton County Sheriff liaison Lt. Dan Reid said Heitmeyer Farms is the latest neighborhood to be hit by thieves. The car thefts are all similar – valuables are left within view and the suspects are taking them from unlocked vehicles. The problem Reid said he is running into is many residents are not reporting the break-ins if large items are not taken. Reid said it is important for residents to at least call him when they notice someone may have been rifling through their car. “I need to know even if change is rifled through,” Reid said. Township neighborhoods can set up an online blockwatch through Reid where neighbors can report suspicious activity and keep deputies on alert in all of the township neighborhoods.

Free/reduced lunch Faculty receives grants program announced Great Oaks Career Campuses has released its policy for students unable to pay the full price of meals or milk served under the National School Lunch Program. Each school office and the central office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party. The federal income eligibility guidelines will be used for determining eligibility. Children from families whose annual income is at or below the federal guidelines are eligible for free and reduced-price meals. Application forms are being distributed to homes in a letter to parents or guardians and are also available during registration and at other times in the school office. To apply for free and reduced-price benefits, households should fill out the application and return it to the school. The information provided on the application is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program official. Households will be notified of the approval or denial of benefits. Applicants who are denied benefits have the right to a hearing. The process is spelled out in the policy. In certain cases, foster
children are also eligible for these benefits regardless of the household’s income. If a family has foster children living with them and wishes to apply for such meals or milk for them, contact the school for more information. Households may apply for benefits any time during the school year. If a household is not currently eligible and if the household size increases or income decreases because of unemployment or other reasons, the family should contact the school to file a new application. Such changes may make the children of the family eligible for free or reducedprice benefits if the family income falls at or below the levels shown above. Families with children eligible for school meals may also be eligible for free health care coverage through Medicaid and/or Ohio’s Healthy Start & Healthy Families programs. These programs include coverage for doctor visits, immunizations, physicals, prescriptions, dental, vision, mental health, substance abuse and more. Cll 1-800-324-8680 for more information or to request an application. Information can also be found at jfs.ohio.gov/OHP/ consumers/familychild.stm. Anyone who has an Ohio Medicaid card is already receiving these services.
Three faculty members of the Seven Hills School were recently awarded grants for personal enrichment experiences from Seven Hills’ Miriam Titcomb Fund. Founded by alumnae, the endowed fund annually awards grants for faculty personal and professional enrichment. Seven Hills Science Department chair and middle school science teacher Karen Glum of Blue Ash received a grant for her project “Connecting the Sciences, Connecting Students Through Birds.” She traveled to Alaska in June with Drs. Dave and Jill Russell (the scientist professors and bird banders working with the sixth graders on their bird studies program), journalism professor Jenny Wohlfarth, Glum’s husband Scott and their sons Elliot and Michael. The group studied and banded birds, formed partnerships with Alaskan teachers and scientists, collected scientific information to use in science classes for school year 2010-11 and learned about glaciers, volcanoes, earthquakes, wildlife and the arctic. The trip included visits to Anchorage, Denali National Park, Fairbanks, Barrow and the Kenai Peninsula.

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

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

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.

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 quality of the silence changes. In this more peaceful place we are mostly with

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 1 ⁄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

Council’s budget priorities are par for the course
Wow! Blue Ash is getting a brand new golf $10 million clubhouse! New irrigation for the golf course! New sidewalks leading to ... well, where the new park will go which we have yet to build, on land we have yet to fully pay for. Last election, I made no secret of my belief that Blue Ash City Council is need of urgent renewal, and I still believe that. Recent facts bear me out. Despite misgivings from many residents, and even (gasp!) a dissenting vote from within council, “the plan” continues to be bulldozed through. That council continues to push its own agenda despite the pesky public is nothing new. In better economic times, I would love to
see a new golf clubhouse grace our city, provided that it benefitted the residents and could be proven to do so. In these economic times, it is Bruce Healey a “nice to have” Community that we don’t need, and Press guest really as some resicolumnist dents have pointed out, does not make a lot of economic sense, given the popularity of the sport itself versus say, tennis, among the local population. Sure, as Mayor Mark Weber argues, we voted for the improvements, but that was back before
the economy tanked. Things change, and we need to re-prioritize. Meanwhile, downtown neighborhoods lack sidewalks so residents can safely walk with children and pets to local businesses. On Myrtle Avenue, Mayor Weber asked that a petition be organized, and a traffic study conducted. the results from an April traffic study showed that in a three-day time period, 2,166 cars traveled on Myrtle Avenue, 904 of those cars were going over the speed limit and 31 of those cars were traveling over 50 miles per hour. 89 percent of the homeowners signed the petition asking for speed humps. The city refuses to do anything, except churn out excuses, including budgetary woes.
Pillich experience needed
Aug. 18 questions
“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 respectful and mind full of others will not protect people from their bad behaviors because their lack or inability to parent them in the first place is why they behave in such ways in the first place.” C.L.
The Northeast Fire Collaborative, which includes Blue Ash, Loveland-Symmes, Mason, Sharonville and Sycamore Township fire departments, has received national recognition for innovation.
Judging from the article in the Aug. 18 Northeast Suburban Life, Connie Pillich’s opponent for the Statehouse seems to believe that all government spending is bad. He complains a lot about Ohio’s loss of jobs but offers nothing of help to those out of work; just lower taxes – the GOP’s slogan for all political seasons. Not much help if you’re not employed! Some government outlays are vital investment, as for example the help given to American auto makers. The automobile industry provides many jobs in Ohio. Michael Wilson seems to believe that he will be able to offer “right leadership” even though his

and put it on your refrigerator. Look at it from time to time. Next Election Day, read it again and decide what you want to do about Blue Ash City Council. If the city is again growing, if the golf clubhouse is built (or still being built and within budget), if there are sidewalks to somewhere, and if downtown is looking great, with a strong economic pulse, vote for the council incumbents – again. Sadly, I think you will struggle to fulfill even one of these criteria by next election.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
CH@TROOM 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.
Yes, you read right. There is no money to build sidewalks, or even speed humps in the face of police generated statistics which show residents are in danger. But there is money to build a $10 million golf course clubhouse and sidewalks to a park not yet built. All plans to rebuild downtown business area are on hold. No money, you see. I remember seeing, some years ago, great plans to redesign and revitalize downtown. Business owners: I am afraid those ideas have been sacrificed to “The Plan” which includes golf course irrigation, a new clubhouse and some sidewalks going nowhere. If you are not outraged, you haven’t been listening. I have a terrible memory. Do me a favor. Cut this article out,

As pendulum swings, will we be able to get out of the way? I have always been interested in clocks with pendulums. This became an important political observation. Reading history showed that as societies went too far in one direction, violent events often took it too far in the other direction. Those societies that survived moved toward more moderate swings. It is clear that the Constitution was written with much thoughtfulness about history. The ancient Greeks influenced the Constitutional Convention more than most people realize. A word of warning here! The Greeks had a rather bawdy way of getting a point across. I assure you it was for the purpose of creating attention to the ideas to be presented. A good place to start is with Plato’s “Republic.” Plato noted that democracies had a habit of failing. They swung like a pendulum from great freedom to repressive and bloody dictatorships. Our founding fathers were very familiar with that problem. They undertook to prevent it. When Plato wanted to make a point, he quoted Socrates, his teacher. He followed Socrates’ method of teaching by creating discussion. Plato gives us a clue to his approach in the first few pages of “Republic.” Socrates was returning to Athens and stopped to see an old friend. Socrates makes an off-color remark. This is a clue to alert the reader to Plato’s sly sense of irony.
There are other examples. He proposed that at battles, the women and children were to observe the bloodshed. Plato also Edward Levy warned of Community unqualified begseeking Press guest gars public office. His columnist p e n d u l u m swings from the qualified to the very unqualified. Does this ring a bell today? Plato also wrote about human nature. He wrote of a cave where the public is held in a prison. In reality, they were imprisoned by their own unwillingness to seek the truth. They were unable to move or turn their heads. They were constantly shown images and sounds which were repeated regularly. Fiction became reality. They had an option of freedom, but the brilliance of the sunlight (truth) was painful. They returned to the “comfort of the familiar” in the cave where they were met with ridicule by their fellow captives. There are many interpretations of this popular reading. In our case it can be a warning against imprisoning ourselves by accepting too much political rhetoric from either side. Finally a few ideas about human nature from Greek Theater. Generally, the tragedies were

The ancient Greeks influenced the Constitutional Convention more than most people realize. about individuals and their faults. The comedies were about societal failures. The purpose was to have the audience discuss the play as they walked home from the theater. Aristophanes wrote several comedies that are worth examination today. A warning is proper here. Aristophanes used absurd sexual situations to emphasize his ideas. In “The Assembly Women,” the finances of Athens had become so corrupt, the women (who could not vote) dressed as men and went to the Assembly. They proceeded to vote a woman as ruler. She installed socialism and sexual equality for all citizens. The results are hilarious. In “Lysistrata,” all of the women in Greece go on a sex strike in order to stop the frequent wars between the various Greek cities. “Lysistrata” is often performed locally by community theaters. We should all endeavor to stop the pendulum before it destroys us. Edward Levy is a longtime resident of Montgomery and a former college instructor.

Defense, ground game key for Crusaders
By Mark Chalifoux
MOELLER HIGH SCHOOL
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 Crusaders. Moeller also returns running back Tucker 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 run-first team again in

2010. “He’s a p r e t t y dynamic running b a c k , ” Rodenberg said of Skove. “Our Walker 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 be “really special” this season. The defense is led by senior defensive end Jesse Hayes, who has more than 20 Division I scholarship

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, per usual. He also doesn’t buy the talk among some coaches that the GCL is down this year. “Everyone that says the

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.

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.

more experience this year and the kids did the right things in the offseason. We had a tremendous offseason,” Dattilo said. The team will be led by one of the most athletic tackles in the Greater Miami Conference, senior Justin Murray. Murray has committed to play college football at the University of Cincinnati. Darius Hillary will be one of the biggest playmakers on offense for the Aves. Hillary has scholarship offers from a number of Division I schools, including a handful of Big 10 offers. Hillary will play defensive back and running back for the Aves. Defensively, linebacker Kevin Carroll will be one of the top Aves. Dattilo is especially pleased with the team’s size. “We’ve got some size on the offensive line and on the defensive line,” he said. “We’ve got enough speed and athletes to be competitive and our biggest strength is the size on the line.” Dattilo has seen flashes of brilliance from his team in the preseason, but he’s also seen less-than-impressive play. “Consistency is a big thing for us.

have consistency of effort and consistency at practice and that will translate to games. If we can get consistent,” he said, “we could surprise some teams with our athleticism and our ability to take over.”
Sycamore will look to improve on a 2-8 record in 2009 and the Aves have the size and talent to do it. Dattilo said he has no doubt Sycamore can get back to the top of the GMC and compete for a league title. The GMC should be tough as always, led by Colerain as the clear favorite. “There isn’t a clear-cut No. 2 but I’d say Middletown, even though they lost a lot,” Dattilo said. Lakota West and Hamilton could also be good this season. With Sycamore returning 11 starters on offense, the Aves can be a dangerous team – if they find the consistency Dattilo wants to see.
Carroll Dattilo “It’s a focus thing,” he said. “I’ve seen signs of it being really good and signs of it not being as great so we need to get the players past that.” Sycamore opens at Withrow and then travels to Springboro, a team the Aves beat on the final drive in 2009. Dattilo said the Aviators are ready to roll and should be a fun team to watch in 2010. “We will be much more aggressive on offense,” he said. “We had to keep things simple last year because we were so young, but with the size up front and with our speed, this should be a fun team to watch. I’m excited.”

Cincinnati Country Day’s Wyatt Tiffany will be a standout for the Indians defense at linebacker.
Starting the season with a trio of home games provides Cincinnati Country Day's football team with comfortable surroundings as the Indians learn to cope with life after the departure of 2010 graduate Max Dietz. Dunn Dietz was CCD's leading rusher and receiver in 2009 with 1,211 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground and Duncan 12 receptions for 248 yards and four touchdowns through the air. CCD scored a total of 18 rushing touchdowns and seven passing touchdowns with Max accounting for most of the production. “(Max) certainly did a lot for us last year and he'll be missed, but hopefully these guys are up to the challenge,” CCD head coach Tim Dunn said. “We have a few less guys going both ways

Cincinnati Country Day defensive tackle Anthony McDaniel is another stalwart for the Indians’ defense. and we are optimistic about that. “(Quarterback) Jake Dietz is back and he's improved since last year so we should have a better passing game too,” Dunn added.

CINCINNATI COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL Valido are also key returning starters on a team with eight players back on both sides of the ball, Dunn said. Sophomore Zach Higginbothan, a transfer to CCD, will compete for playing time at the linebacker position as a key new addition for the Indians. “We feel like we are making progress. Everyone is healthy and we are pretty optimistic,” Dunn said. CCD opens with a home game against Clermont Northeastern at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 27, in week one.

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 y a r d s through the air while attempting 73 more passes than the next closest quarterback in Taylor the Miami Valley Conference (272 attempts compared to 199 attempts from North College Hill’s Dakota Dartis). Eagle fans should see a different gameplan in 2010. “Physically we are much bigger (than last) season averaging over 240 (pounds) up front and expect to play a much more balanced style of play,” second-year head coach Eric Taylor said. 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

Senior running back Didi Charles represents a key new addition to the Eagles’ starting offense after rushing for 119 yards on 24 carries as a junior. “The team has bonded well and will play great team ball,” Taylor said. “We have four offensive and five defensive starters returning.” Additional key contributors offensively will include junior Austin Jones (WR), senior Tim Overstreet (WR) and the Eagles’ “entire offensive line,” Taylor said.

Bombers’ strong defense to lead team By Jake Meyer
westsports@communitypress.com
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 Woodall 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. “With four linebackers returning, the middle of 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 junior, as well as senior defensive back Connor Buczek. However, the offensive side of the ball has a few question marks as the Bombers must break in a

That job falls to senior Nick Albers. Albers, a 6-foot-4 pocket passer, served as Massa’s backup in 2009 and, according to Specht, has separated himself from his competition in practice.
Albers will be helped by a strong running back in junior Conor Hundley. 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. Xavier, as well as two of the best teams northern Ohio has to offer, in Lakewood St. Edward and Cleveland St. Ignatius. “We play a brutal schedule,” Specht said. “I tell the
kids that the toughest team we play is the next team on the schedule.” For Specht, the expectations for the season deal not with wins and losses, but in less tangible goals like character, teamwork and effort. 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.”

Braves look to reload to handle early tests By Mark Chalifoux
INDIAN HILL HIGH SCHOOL
mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The 2009 Indian Hill High School football team benefited from having the co-athlete of the year, Sam Hendricks, running the offense. The senior led the Cincinnati Hills League in rushing by a substantial margin and was third in the conference in passing. The 2010 Braves don’t have a star of that caliber on the roster, but Indian Hill should do more reloading than rebuilding this season. “We’re young and have a lot of new faces but we have good team speed and this is as dedicated a team as I’ve ever been around,” head coach Mike Theisen said. Sam Voss takes over the
quarterback position for the Braves and will remind Indian Hill fans of Hendricks. “I was really impressed with what I saw from him in our first scrimmage,” Theisen said. “He’s the same style of runner as Hendricks, but he doesn’t quite have the same length and stride that Sam had. He is deceptive and we’ve tweaked some things on offense, but we’ll be a spread team balanced between the running game

He had more than 500 rushing yards and eight touchdowns in 2009 for the Braves. “We have a huge offensive line so we’re going to get some push and Reid has great field vision. I think he’s ready to carry the load for us.” Theisen said the team will have to play as a unit since the Braves won’t be able to get away with one player carrying them through tough times. “We need all 11 guys on the offensive side and defensive side to play as a unit,” he said. The defense will be led by linebackers Jake Thomas and Kyle Combs. Scott Brendamour will be one of the standouts on the line for Indian Hill. The big challenge for the Braves will be the first three games of the season. Indian Hill opens with McNicholas, Valley View and Turpin. “Our season will be defined by those three games,” Theisen said. “If you want to be a contender in the playoffs you need to play good competition and one of our team goals is to win two of these first three games.” Indian Hill will also have to deal with a stronger CHL slate. Wyoming is the favorite to repeat as the CHL champs, but Madeira and

Mariemont should be improved this fall as well. “The league has hurt us in years past, but we’re anticipating a much stronger CHL this season,” Theisen said. “Wyoming, in particular, is outstanding.” Theisen said Indian Hill fans can expect to see a hard-hitting defense as the Braves continue to grow and improve on that side of the ball. “Our kids love to hit,” he

Amid tragedy, Vikings face challenges By Jake Meyer westsports@communitypress.com
With heavy hearts over the sudden passing of sophomore defensive back Jovante Woods, the son of former Bengal Ickey Woods, the Princeton football team prepares to open the season
the season on Friday, Aug. 27. Woods, who died Aug. 14 after suffering an asthLeach ma attack at his home, will be buried Aug. 28, just one day after
the Vikings open the season against Beavercreek. The 16-year-old Woods was challenging for a starting spot in Princeton’s secondary and was expected to be a key contributor as the Vikings try to improve on last season’s 5-5 record. 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 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
PRINCETON HIGH SCHOOL 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

Northmont Sept. 3. “We go to Northmont in week two, which will be a challenge,” Leach said. “That’ll be a good game to see where the expectations for 2010 are.” Leach’s preseason expectations include a topthree finish in the GMC this season. Princeton hasn’t finished that high since 2007, Leach’s second year as head coach. 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.”
