Nate Wagner earns Eagle rankNate Wagner, 16, of Terrace Park

recently earned the title of EagleScout after completing his EagleScout project and getting approvalfrom the National Boy Scouts ofAmerica.

For his Eagle Scout project,Wagner chose to make some improve-ments to Lindell Memorial Park,known to Terrace Park locals as thelog cabin. With the help of about 50people, Wagner replaced utility polesand put new gravel into the parkinglot at the log cabin. He also rebuilt thefire pit behind the cabin with newpaver stones and finally cleared outbrush and weeds to create a new pic-nic area.

"As a scout, the log cabin hasalways been important to me so Ichose to spruce it up as my EagleScout project," Wagner said.

However, the project began much

before Wagner and 50 others put inthe time and labor in September.Wagner developed a plan that wasapproved by the Village of TerracePark and the Boy Scouts of America.

"I had to get estimates on materi-als then write letters to get funding forthe project," Wagner said.

Wagner received donations fromorganizations and individuals such asAker Electric, Lowes, Ogle Annett,Steve Wilson, George Heffner, DukeEnergy, Barb and Les Overway, andMarc Michaelson to name a few.

Once finished with the entireproject, Wagner had to get approvalfrom Bill McNeese, the DistrictAdvancement Chair for the BlueJacket District of Dan Beard Counciland had to submit recommendationsfrom parents, teachers and employersand prove he had earned at least 21merit badges.

Wagner has been a member of theCub Scouts/Boy Scouts in TerracePark since he was in first grade.

"I've really enjoyed working withmy scoutmaster Mr. Kokorudabecause of his great sense of humorand constant dedication to our troop,"Wagner said. "It's also been reallycool to spend quality time with mydad when he was my scout leader."

The 2011 Lacrosseville Preseason Report

Monte Carlo Night hits homerun for TPRC Sports

As spring approaches the Terrace ParkBulldogs are preparing for their 15thseason of youth lacrosse. Once again,Coach Steve Peterson and his dedicat-ed staff of assistants will be workingwith approximately 70 boys fromTerrace Park, Mariemont and Fairfax.The boys play their home games at

Drackett Field on four teams based onage and experience.

The Bulldogs are the foundationof the very successful boys'/men'slacrosse program in our community.Many of the boys develop a love forthe game as Bulldogs, and then carryon the local lacrosse tradition as theyleave elementary school to become thecore members of the Mariemont Juniorand Senior high school teams. The jun-ior high and junior varsity teams rou-tinely are among the best in the city.The Warriors have gone to the statefinals three times since becoming avarsity program in 2002, and the 2007team won the state championship.

Each year on ThanksgivingWeekend, Coach P hosts a new playerclinic for Bulldogs to be, and then refsthe Warrior Alumni Game at StantonField. The most recent clinic hadabout 20 boys from grades 2-5 partic-ipating. A good time was had by allduring the fun learning experience,and several of the youngsters stayedafterwards to join the crowd to watchthe Alumni Game.

The 8th annual Terrace ParkRecreation Committee (TPRC)Monte Carlo Night (MCN) fund rais-er for Terrace Park sports programswas held on Friday, January 28 at StThomas Church . Event Chairperson,Celia McNeil orchestrated her thirdTPRC MCN and had the eveningpacked with fun activities.

The fund raiser traditionally hasbeen a large contributor to the annualbudget for the TPRC programs andthis year’s turnout was spectacular,setting a record for money availableto support our maintenance, capitalimprovements and programs that arehome to Drackett Field.

This year live music was added bylocal residents, Robinson Circus, whostoked the crowd surveying the bid-n-buy auction items and entertainingthose who were settled at the variousgambling tables. A very special char-tered bus trip of scenic and historicdowntown Cincinnati destinations wasalso offered by our friends Neil andSuzie Bortz to the first 20 couples tosign up. Many awesome donationsand gift baskets were donated by vari-ous TP families. Incredible!

Also new this year was a winetasting offered by Valley Vineyards,located in Morrow, Ohio for thosewanting to sample some local grapes.Valley Vineyards is a family run win-ery that offers 13 different varieties ofwine that is right up I-71 from TerracePark. Wine Enthusiasts be sure tocheck them out.

Once the gambling subsided andthe bid-n-buy closed, TPRC baseballCommish, Todd Steele, grabbed themicrophone for what proved to be avery entertaining live auction.Former Terrace Park residents Paquiand Brian Kelly donated Notre Damebasketball, hockey and football tick-ets. The Joneses and Janceks gifted

UC football and basketball tickets, asigned basketball and football andsome UC athletic apparel items. TheBrennaman’s were also in the mixdonating a sweet Cincinnati RedsDiamond Ticket package with on-field batting practice access and timein the booth with Marty and Thom.Spirited bidding kept the crowd guess-ing while basketball commish, BrenFries masqueraded as Mark Kennedy(in absentia) and did a skillful job ofwinning the Kennedys some specialitems. TP entertainment at its finest.

The final event of the evening wasthe raffle for the ever-popular TPRCgolf cart. This year’s lucky winnerwas Patricia and Marvin Lopez! Aftera quick phone call to Stanton Avenue,Particia arrived to accept her prize inher robe and pajamas (does it get anybetter?). Patricia accepted the keysand headed home (obeying all theproper traffic laws, of course) to puttheir new prize in the garage.

Special thanks to Emily, Steveand Jamie (aka Robinson Circus), theBortzs, the Kellys, the Joneses, theBrennamans, the various donors andsponsors who put together such won-derful items and to all of you thatattended who made this such a greatevening and a record-setting event forthe TPRC!

Lastly, Celia McNeil is retiring(after three years of chairperson forthe Summer Fun Program and twoyears of MCN) and looking for a spe-cial volunteer (or two, or three) whowill jump in the boat and row nextyear’s event. If you, someone youknow, or someone you’d like to volun-teer for this awesome event is inter-ested, please contact Celia to inquireabout details. Thanks to Celia for allher hard work and energy.

Thanks to all who had a part inthis year’s party!

competitive alums for extended gameplay fell on deaf ears as they lobbiedCoach P. The alumni lead the series 4-3, as the high school squad has madethe series competitive by winning thelast two years. The scoring leaders foreach team tallied three goals, withNoah Gibby leading the alums and

Chase Beach the MHS squad. One of the things I look forward

to watching is the freshmen who playin this event for the first time with thesignificantly older and much moreexperienced players. This year sawthree as Sam Torpedo Long (whoactually played some goal for thealumni until their goalies rolled out ofbed and got to the field), Jimbo Perry,and Big Mac Saffin announced theirpresence with authority.

This year’s crowd was the largest,loudest, and most enthusiastic yet.Part of that may be attributable to thetailgating that took a quantum leapforward with a buffet line featuringgrilled pork sandwiches afterwards.

The 2011 Bulldogs will be enter-taining to watch, and Bulldogs arealways well-coached and learn torespect the game and their opponents.Watching them play down at Drackettis a great way to spend an hour or soon a Sunday afternoon.

The Warriors varsity lost to thestate champs in the final four lastyear, and made it to the state champi-onship game the year before that. The2011 squad is poised and situated tomake a run with numerous boys gain-ing all-state recognition. They havestrong team leadership, a deep seniorclass, a talented junior class, and out-standing coaches. Circle June 4th onyour calendar, and I’ll be looking foryou in the stands up in Columbus.

The 2010 MHS Alumni Gamewas the 7th in the series that started in2004, and this is a must-see event forsome lacrosse fans as it pits membersof the current high school teamagainst any alumni of the programwho show up for the game. This year’salums may have been less rusty than

those in the past as nine of them con-tinue to play the game at the collegelevel. These guys currently play onDivision 1 and club teams atAlabama, UC, James Madison,Miami, Minnesota-Duluth, OhioState, Ohio University, and Roanoke.

Each and every one of the partici-pants in this year’s game began play-ing lacrosse as Bulldogs. Each teamfielded a squad of approximately 20players. Six sets of brothers played forone side or the other: Chase andJimmy Beach; Cole and TateDeCamp; Phil and Chris Egasti; Owenand Noah Gibby; Reed and DrakePeterson; Sean and Nick Stirsman.The program sends a shout-out to theparents of these and every otherBulldogs and Warriors player…thanksfor your continued support!

This year’s game was as fun as anyin the series. As the program continuesto mature and consistently achievesuccess at the state level, more accom-plished players develop and graduate.As a result, the alumni enter eachyear’s contest more and more confi-dent of victory. As a parent of a 2008grad and witness to all seven games, Ican firmly attest to this. This year’salums wanted this one badly, as theloss suffered to the high schoolers lastyear apparently still stings some.

The most senior member of thealumni this year was Bill Dunning,from the MHS class of 2002. Thesides seemed to be evenly matchedwith excellent play demonstrated byboth squads. At halftime the gamewas tied 6-6. But the youth and ener-gy of the younger players may havebeen the determining factor, as theywore down some of the older guys inthe second half and won the game 10-8. Pleas by one or two of the more
