New Forest Hills Local SchoolDistrict Superintendent DallasJackson expressed concerns aboutdeveloping a facilities plan beforea strategic plan for the Forest HillsLocal School District is in place.

“Are we putting the cart beforethe horse?” Jackson asked duringlast week’s Facilities Committeemeeting.

Jackson said he is preparing astrategic plan for the district.

“We need to tighten our belts,but at the same time have an edu-cational component,” he said.

Jackson said the committeeshould proceed with its work andprovide a recommendation, whichcould then be incorporated intothe strategic plan.

Richard Neumann, chairman ofthe committee, asked committeemembers how they wanted to pro-ceed.

“(We) are trying to build con-sensus on where we go fromhere,” he said.

Committee members said it isimportant to present a clear mes-sage to the community.

They also said other factorssuch as programs in the districtare important.

“Facilities alone won’t givekids the best education,” said

committee mem-ber Melissa Oak-ley.

C o m m i t t e emember WayneRod agreed.

“Quality ofeducation is themost importantthing,” saidRod. “We’re talking numbers,(but) what do these plans do toenhance education.”

The committee recently pre-sented four potential building con-

f i g u r a t i o noptions.

The possibili-ty of addingtemporary mod-ular buildingsalso was dis-cussed duringthe meeting, butmost of the

committee members seemed reluc-tant to use modular buildings, see-ing this as more of a short-termsolution if a future operating levyfailed.

Neumann asked if a propertytax appraisal would be worth con-sidering.

Ray Johnson, director of busi-ness operations, said an appraisalhad not been done for severalyears.

The committee said an apprais-al might be worth considering if itcould be done without incurringadditional expenses.

Another option proposed dur-ing the meeting was to proceedwith a building plan in phases andconcentrate first on Wilson Ele-mentary School and AndersonHigh School, buildings which thecommittee said are most in need ofrepair.

The committee said the nextstep will be to get cost estimateson several of the building options,factoring in additional expensessuch as extracurricular activitiesand programs.

The Facilities Committee alsoplans to have a separate commit-tee, the Business Advisory Com-mittee, review the initial cost esti-mates for consolidation of thebuildings.

A joint meeting with the Busi-ness Advisory Committee will be 7p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 17, at theadministration building, 7550Forest Road.

Superintendent questions plan’s timing

The Forest Hills Local School DistrictFacilities Committee is considering fourfuture building configurations.

The proposed configurations andestimated levy and bond amounts,presented in March, are:

• Maintaining the existing buildingconfiguration of six elementary schools,one middle school and two highschools.

This would require a 5.71-milloperating levy in May 2011.

• A configuration of four elementaryschools, one middle school and two highschools. This would involve theconstruction of one new elementaryschool as well as additions to theexisting buildings and renovation of thehigh schools.

This would require a 9.98-millcombined operating/bond levy in May

2011.• A configuration of four elementary

schools, one intermediate school, onemiddle school and one high school. Thiswould involve the construction of a newelementary school and construction of anew high school.

This would require a 7.54-millcombined operating/bond levy in May2011.

• A configuration of four elementaryschools, one middle school and onehigh school. This would involve theconstruction of one new elementaryschool, construction of a new highschool and additions to some of theexisting buildings.

This would require a 10.26-millcombined operating/bond levy in May2011.

Anderson Township wants toadd more parking spaces off New-town Road for the Five Mile Trail.

The township currently leases10 spaces from Heritage Univer-salist Unitarian Church, next tothe northern end of the trail, for$2,400 per year.

Steve Sievers, assistant town-ship administrator and Develop-ment Services director, said thetownship and church are currentlynegotiating a 20-year parkinglease and easement agreement.

“The trail is very highly utilizedand there is no more room (at thechurch) for more spaces,” he said.

The new parking lot, withwater and utility lines, is estimat-ed to cost taxpayers $50,000 andwill have 12 regular parkingspaces and one handicap space.

Sievers said he anticipates theproject, which also includes a tem-porary restroom facility and waterfountain, to be complete by theend of 2011.

He said both the township andchurch would look into grants toconstruct a permanent restroomfacility in the future.

Public Works Director RichardShelley said the lot would havepermeable pavement to help cap-ture storm water runoff and theyhave discussed adding a rain gar-den in the future.

The parking lot would be inbetween the current paved area atHeritage Universalist UnitarianChurch and the Five Mile Trail.

It would have a separateentrance off Newtown road.

Township Trustee Peggy Reissuggested adding a bike rack nearthe parking lot to accommodate

residents who ride a bike to thetrail and then walk the trail.

The Anderson Township Boardof Zoning Appeals must approve aconditional use certificate prior toparking lot construction.

The parking lot and easementagreement are expected to be dis-cussed at the next townshiptrustees meeting at 7 p.m. Thurs-day, Aug. 19.

More parking for bike path?13 more spaces for Five Mile Trail to cost $50,000

Newtown Village Councilcontinues to seek money fora bike-staging area on theproposed site of the new Lit-tle Miami Joint Fire and Res-cue District fire station in

the village.Council recently voted to

hire consultant Allan Free-man, who’s worked in asimilar capacity with the vil-lage in the past, for threemonths at a cost to taxpay-ers of $150 an hour, not toexceed $1,500 each month.

Freeman will be seekinggrants and other fundingopportunities to lessen thefinancial burden on the vil-lage for the potential proj-ect.

Freeman said during themeeting that the Ohio Ken-tucky Indiana Regional

Council of Governments willsoon make $9 million ingrants available for projectssimilar to a bike-stagingarea in Newtown.

“That’s where I think weshould focus our attention,”he said.

The bike-staging areawould likely consist of 15 to20 parking spaces withaccess to sidewalks and thebike trails in and around thevillage.

Freeman said otheramenities, like restrooms,could make the site moreattractive to bike riders.

Any potential project at

the new fire station hingeson the Fire District buyingthe former E-check buildingat 7036 Main St., whichwill house a new stationand the possible bike stag-ing area.

During the meeting,Councilman Mark Kobasukstated the Fire District hasnearly completed its deal tobuy the site, at a cost ofapproximately $750,000.

If the deal is agreed uponbonds could be issued inAugust, bids could be com-pleted in October and con-struction could start in Janu-ary.

Kobasuk said the projectwould likely take about ninemonths to complete.

Anderson Township,along with the HamiltonCounty Economic Develop-ment Office and the Ander-son Area Chamber of Com-merce, recently completed abusiness survey, the firstsince 2005.

Questions ranged fromgeneral satisfaction andgrowth rates to challengesand benefits of having abusiness in AndersonTownship.

Bryan Kauffeld, generalmanager of Ulmer’s AutoCare Center on Salem Road,said he likes having a busi-ness in Anderson Township,but the permit requirementscan be cumbersome.

“One of the biggest chal-lenges are the road blocksput in front of us for anyexpansion or improve-ments,” he said.

“It’s very difficult to get itdone in a timely fashion.”

Susan Parker, owner ofSusan’s Natural World on

Beechmont Avenue, agreedthat the permit process istime-consuming and saidsignage requirements arealso a challenge.

Parker said she’d like tohave a small sign, such as asandwich board, near theroad announcing daily orweekly specials, but sign

restrictions prohibit that.Parker added that she

also would like to see morecoordination with the cham-ber, township and business-es to encourage residents toshop locally.

“These last few yearshave been harder for every-one and as things changewe need to keep peopleshopping in the communi-ty,” she said.

“Keeping it local will begood for all of us.”

Kauffeld said he wouldlike to see tax incentivesand government support tospur economic developmentin the township.

He added that he’d liketo see a greater focus onfinding other businesses tofill the vacant properties andgive a boost the businesscommunity.

Businesses pan permit process

Anderson Township sent out560 surveys and received 100responses. Here are some of thesurvey highlights:

• More than half of thebusinesses that responded planinterior upgrades in the next twoyears and close to 40 percentplan exterior upgrades orexpansions.

• Proximity to market areacame in as the top benefit tobeing located in AndersonTownship with visibility and

absence of township income taxfollowing.

• Traffic safety, as well aslease and property tax rates,were considered some of thegreatest obstacles to having abusiness in Anderson Township.

• Tax incentives,streetscapes and improvedaccess topped the list ofservices that would helpeconomic growth anddevelopment.

Mt. Washington hopes tocontinue streetscapeenhancements as well asimprove business districtfacades.

During a recent meetingthe Mt. Washington Com-munity Council approvedapplying for NeighborhoodBusiness DevelopmentImprovement Programfunding.

Fifty-two Cincinnatineighborhoods are eligible

to compete for the Improve-ment Program funding.

A total of $1 million isavailable, which would bedivided up among the vari-ous communities which arechosen to receive funding.

Communities typicallysend in major and minorproposals for funding.

Mt. Washington’s minorproposal is for up to$30,000 for a design studyfor streetscape improve-ments. This would continuestreetscape improvementsalong Beechmont Avenue

from Campus Lane to MearsAvenue.

These improvementswould include lighting,benches, trash receptacles,planting containers andother enhancements in thebusiness district.

“These are long-termprojects,” said JakeWilliams, president of theboard.

Williams said rebuildinga portion of the Mt. Wash-ington Cemetery fencewould likely be included inthe streetscape plan.

The major proposal

would be for funding to helpwith facade improvementsin the business district. Thisproposal is for $115,000.

As part of this proposal,building and business own-ers who participate wouldpay half the cost for facadeimprovements while the city

would pay the other por-tion.

Mark Macomber, presi-dent of the Mt. WashingtonCommunity Urban Redevel-opment Corp., said severalbusinesses have expressedinterest in participating ifthe funding is approved.

These include the FrankDesign Studio, AndersonHills Plumbing, Repair andSupplies, Music MakersLLC, Water Tower FineWines and several otherbusinesses.

Facade improvementswould also be made to thepolice substation, he said.

“It’s a good incentive tolook at what you have andwhat you can do,” said KateYoung, owner of MusicMakers.

Young said her landlordhas expressed interest inmaking facade improve-ments.

“Specifically, we have acurb around the front of thebuilding we would like toremove and then also widenone of our entries,” shesaid.

Young said some brickwork repair needs to bedone as well.

This funding wouldmake these repairs afford-able, she said.

Macomber said the pro-posals will need to be sub-mitted in August.

Harry D’Agostino’s rac-ing season almost screechedto a halt when his prizedGo-Kart recently was stolenfrom his Anderson Town-ship home.

Harry, 12, said his dadwoke him up the nextmorning to deliver the dev-astating news.

“I was kind of shockedand really sad,” he said. “Ijust want my Go-Kartback.”

Karen D’Agostino,Harry’s mom, said the Go-Kart, gears and gas can,worth about $5,000, werestolen from the garage, buteverything else wasuntouched.

She said she suspects itwas kids who knew the Go-Kart was in the garage.

“It’s just so dishearteningbecause we don’t knowwho took it,” she said.

“We know it’s unlikelywe’ll find it, but we keepchecking on Craigslist andeBay.”

Harry, who races com-petitively for the Ohio Val-ley Karting Association,said he’d seen flyers forstolen Go-Karts at otherrace tracks, but didn’t thinkmuch of it.

“I thought it wouldn’thappen to me because I livein a safe neighborhood,”Harry said.

The family lives on adead-end street in the Sanc-tuary of Ivy Hills.

Harry was first intro-duced to Go-Kart racing afew years ago and remem-bers watching Formula Oneraces with his dad, Tony.

After a few runs on apractice track, Harry decidedhe wanted to race competi-tively.

The Go-Kart was aneighth birthday gift and hisdad drove him to Indi-anapolis to pick out parts tocustomize it.

Next year, Tony said hisson will move up to a differ-ent division and need a newGo-Kart.

Until then, fellow racershave offered to loan Harryanother Go-Kart until Octo-ber, when the season ends.

Though he’s thankful,Harry said it will be hard

getting used to the loanerkart. He was ranked third inhis racing division.

The D’Agostinos areoffering a reward for the Go-Kart and ask those withinformation to [email protected].

He said the $5,000 mayserve as just the start andcouncil could be asked toallocate more money to fur-nish the house.

Councilman Brian Burnssaid Meridian, which donat-ed $5,000 to the renovationof the house, is consideringusing it for monthly meet-ings, so the village shouldact fast to place tables andchairs at the house.

“If we’re going to rentthe house out we can’t have

them sitting on the floor,”said Councilman Joe Harten.

Renovations and repairson the Moundview house

began in March 2008. Mostof the work and materialsused were donated by localbusinesses and residents.

Athletically ineligible.The words rang out like a

death knell for 2010 Seven Hillsgraduate Josh Dunaway near thestart of his junior year in 2008.

Positioned near the top of hisclass academically, the AndersonTownship resident didn’t antici-pate any problems when transfer-ring from St. Xavier to Seven Hillsfollowing his sophomore year.

But trouble arrived just thesame.

The Ohio High School AthleticAssociation ruled Dunaway ath-letically ineligible for the 2008-2009 season citing a rule used todiscourage the stacking of private-school rosters.

Though understandably bitterat first, from chaos came anopportunity and Josh quicklymade the best of the hand he wasdealt.

Dunaway attended everyStinger practice and watchedevery varsity contest from thebench as a junior alongside SevenHills head coach Willie Hill despiteknowing he would never see asecond of playing time.

“It was one of the proudestmoments I’ve ever had,” Josh’sfather, Craig Dunaway, said of hisson’s dedication despite the adver-sity of his junior year. “Here’s akid who knows he can’t play ingames and he still wants to be apart of the team. It showed a lotabout his character.”

Josh’s positivity and team-ori-ented mentality landed him theEastern Hills Journal Sportsmanof the Year award in 2010.

Readers nominated Sportsmanof the Year candidates and deter-mined winners through onlinevoting.

“It’s a huge honor and I appre-ciate all of my teammates and

coaches and my parents for theirsupport through the years,” Joshsaid of the award.

Hill was quick to chime in onthe subject of Josh’s junior season.

“Josh showed a lot of maturityto make that decision,” Hill said.“Sitting out a whole year wastough, but he handled it well.

“He worked hard, encouragedthe guys and did everything hecould to get ready for his seniorseason,” Hill added.

Finally able to compete as a

senior, Dunaway took full advan-tage of his role playing off thebench in 2009-2010 as he led theStingers in free throws (26),three-pointers (26), three-pointshooting percentage (26-of-58 for44.8-percent) and steals (19).

He ranked third on the teamwith 8.5 points a game as a sen-ior.

The Stingers finished at 20-3and won a Division IV sectionaltitle.

Dunaway was named Second-

Team All-Miami Valley Conferencefor his notable contributions.

“I learned a lot having thecoach’s perspective from the side-lines (as a junior) and it preparedme for my senior year,” he said.

Long before beginning atSeven Hills, he was honing hiscraft and becoming a sharp-shoot-er from the outside with daily

practice sessions at home.“From the time he could walk I

stuck a basketball in his hands,”Craig joked. “You could tell imme-diately he had a passion for it.He’d be out there all day shooting,and we’d have to call for him tocome get food.”

Josh was thankful he spent thelong hours learning the in’s andout’s of his shot, he said.

“A lot of people don’t see thework you put in behind the scenesbut it really does pay off in a bigway,” he said.

Dunaway soon begins his col-legiate career at MassachusettsInstitute of Technology with hiscumulative GPA of 4.11 and hisshooting skill in tow.

Josh will need both his brainsand athletic ability to succeed inthe academically challengingenvironment at MIT, he said.

After majoring in managementand minoring in economics at MIT,Josh plans on continuing his edu-cation at law school.

“I’m really excited for theopportunity. I always knew Iwanted to play at the next leveland MIT is the perfect place for meto do that,” Josh said. “The schooland area have so much to offer.”

The Archbishop McNicholasHigh School girls’ volleyball squad

has big expecta-tions for thisseason.

The Rocketsfinished 15-9last year andmade it to thedistrict finalsbefore falling toTipp City lastyear. The teamhas a lot of con-fidence becauseof the number ofe x p e r i e n c e dplayers return-ing in 2010,according tocoach DennyMurphy.

“We’re deepat every position,” Murphy said.“I’ve never been this deep. Wecould go to JV, but I just don’t needto.”

On offense, senior returningstarters Chelsea Rohlfs and juniorStephanie Schmidt will be expect-ed to carry the load. SophomoreKayla Fritz is also expected tocontribute significantly.

Rohlfs, who plays outside hit-ter posted 28 aces during lastyear’s regular season, while Fritz,

a setter contributed 254 assistsand Schmidt added 152 kills.

On defense, Megan Gilene willtry to fill the shoes of Alli Kirby,who graduated at the end of lastschool year.

Gilene’s 195 digs were secondto Kirby’s 339 last season.

Murphy, who is in his fifth year

with a 63-36 record, is countingon the aggressive play and leader-ship of his senior setter to be a fac-tor all year.

“Megan plays hard and isbecoming more of a vocal leaderas we go on,” Murphy said. “Ifyou’re not getting the job done,she’ll let you know.”

While the Rockets have aplethora of returning talent, theywill be without senior RebeccaSchaller, whose recent back sur-gery will keep her out for the2010 campaign.

Possibily filling her role in themiddle could be Brooke Logan.Logan, a sophomore, had 147kills during her freshman year.

The Girls’ Greater CincinnatiLeague promises to offer a formi-dable opponent in the form ofRoger Bacon High School, whofinished 21-5 last year.

“They’ve never been bad,”Murphy said. “If we play hardenough, we’ll be there with them.

Murphy believes his squadcould be a perennial GGCL GreyCentral contender and even hashopes of playing beyond the dis-trict finals.

“I think we should compete fora (conference title) every year,”Murphy said. “Our expectationthis year is to go to the state tour-nament.”

A large roster populatedby 11 seniors and six tal-ented underclassmen withvarsity potential promisesfor an interesting series oftryouts for Turpin’s girlstennis team.

With tryouts beginningMonday, Aug. 9, first-yearLady Spartan head coachBarb O’Brien still had a lotof question marks regardingher starting lineup justbefore beginning her selec-tion process, she said.O’Brien coached Turpin’sjunior varsity team for fouryears before taking thehelm of the varsity pro-gram.

Only two varsity playersreturn for O’Brien – seniorsKatherine Johnson andMary Allison Geibel – andthe senior duo are currentlythe only two players thenew head coach has lockedin for starting varsity spots,she said.

“There are going to besome tough decisions tomake. Tryouts will be veryimportant for us nextweek,” O’Brien said Sun-day, Aug. 8. “We’ll justhave to see what happenswhen we get out there andstart playing.”

Johnson will likely playat No. 1 singles for Turpinthough O’Brien was unsureof the lineup’s order fromthere.

“Having 17 girls tochoose from (including 11seniors) is an interesting sit-uation to deal with,”O’Brien said.

In addition to its uncer-tain lineup, Turpin will alsobe collectively sharing itsnew experience in the FortAncient Valley ConferenceEast Division.

In 2009, Turpin won the

FAVC Cardinal Division at 5-0 in the division and 10-2overall.

However, the five-teamFAVC Cardinal Division hasbeen replaced with the nine-team FAVC East Division forthe 2010 season.

“It’s a stable team with(Johnson and Geibel) backbut we still have a numberof things to figure out,”O’Brien said. “I’m lookingforward to having a funseason with the girls.”

Turpin opens with a roadmatch against Walnut Hillsat 4 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 24,at Triangle Park. The LadySpartans host its rivals fromAnderson for its homeopener at 4 p.m. Thursday,Aug. 26.

Alterations to the FortAncient Valley Conference’sdivisional structure pairedwith the graduation of sixseniors presents Anderson’sgirls’ tennis team with a bitof adversity to start the2010 campaign.

Despite all of the gradua-tions, Anderson still returnsfour starters from the LadyRedskins’ 12-3 squad from2009.

However, second-yearhead coach Joe Leytze needsto find new players at bothNo. 1 singles and No. 1doubles with a bolsteredschedule promising to chal-lenge the girls entering thetop spots in the lineup.

After spending severalseasons playing at No. 1singles, 2010 graduateBridget Hochwalt and her12-2 record at No. 1 singlesin 2009 leaves the biggestshoes to fill of the recentgraduates.

Returning players forAnderson include KristinaAbramovich and MaddyCrawford for singles andMegan Beebe and CorieOsterfeld for doubles.Abramovich and Crawfordplayed at No. 2 and No. 3singles last year, respective-ly. Beebe and Osterfeld wereteamed up at No. 2 doubles.Abramovich was 6-2 at No.2 singles in 2009.

“We graduated six sen-iors from last year’s squadbut we have quite a few

players who haved workedhard on their games overthe past year and I expectus to be competitive thisyear,” Leytze said.

In addition to the return-ing girls, a handful of newadditions will also be keyfor Anderson includingJenny Dickhaus, AmandaFoster, CeCe Graff and Pais-ley Stone. Dickhaus, whoplayed No. 1 singles at thejunior varsity level in 2009,will likely compete for aspot playing singles on var-

sity, Leytze said. The rest ofthe new additions were alsoJV starters last season.

As for the changingFAVC, duplicating its 4-1conference record and sec-ond-place finish in its FAVCBuckeye Division will be atall order for the Lady Red-skins in its newly createdFAVC East Division.

Anderson moves fromthe five-team Buckeye Divi-sion to the nine-team FAVCEast Division for the 2010tennis season.

“The reorganization ofour league has left us with amuch tougher league sched-ule,” Leytze said. “This maymake it difficult to matchour 12-3 record from2009.”

Anderson opens with ahome match against Wilm-ington at 4 p.m. Thursday,Aug. 19. Following theopener, the Lady Redskinstravel to the CincinnatiCountry Day Tournament at2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 20, and8 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 21.

Anderson girls’ tennis hits the court

Anderson High School girls’ tennis coach JoeLeytze is about to join an elite group of athletes asone of the newest members of the Cincinnati TennisHall of Fame.

The induction ceremony takes place Saturday,Aug. 14, at the Lindner Family Tennis Center inMason – the day of the women’s semifinals andmen’s qualifying round of the 2010 Western andSouthern Financial Group Masters and Women’sOpen.

“It’s a great honor; there’s no doubt about that,”Leytze said. Given his own career record andcommitment to the game of tennis, his inductioninto the Cincinnati Tennis Hall of Fame seemedinevitable.

Athletic Director Pam Scott said Anderson HighSchool is excited about his induction and thrilled tohave him return for his second year of coaching atAHS.

“It is quite an honor and says a great deal aboutyour program when you have someone coachingyour athletes who has competed at the top of thegame at all levels,” Scott said. “He obviously hasgreat skills and knowledge of the game, but he isalso able to teach the game in a fashion that is funfor high school athletes.”

As a high school student, Leytze played tennisat Oak Hills High School. In his senior year he wasnamed the 1979 Enquirer Player of the Year. Henext hit the court at the University of Kentucky

where he played four years at the collegiate leveland competed in the NCAA Tournament.

“I found out that I’m the only tennis player fromCincinnati to have played in the Men’s Division INCAA singles championship in the past 40 years,”he said.

After college, Leytze played tennis professionallyfor three years. He said he enjoyed the experienceof traveling the world playing the sport that heloved.

After his tour in professional tennis, Leytzereturned to Cincinnati to teach tennis and coachteams. He also enjoyed a few victories at localtennis competitions including the CincinnatiMetropolitan Tournament, which he won in 1988and 1990.

After 1990, work temporarily took Leytze awayfrom tennis. Last year he joined Anderson HighSchool as the girls’ tennis coach. And with this mostrecent round of recognition, he said he may look tofurther his involvement in teaching/coaching tennis.

The induction into the Cincinnati Tennis Hall ofFame will not be his first enshrinement. In 1990 hewas inducted into the University of Kentucky’sTennis Hall of Fame.

“I was one of the first four people to be inductedthere,” he said. “That was a nice honor. It’s funny,when you’re in your 20s, it’s not as big a deal. Whenyou get older you appreciate these things a littlemore.”

After winning a state titlein 2008 and finishing asstate runner-up in 2009, theSt. Xavier High School golfteam will be without BrianShircliff, a 1992 Bombergraduate who had coachedthe team since 1998.

The program, however,is in safe hands. Alex Kep-ley, who served as Shircliff’sassistant the last six years,will assume the head coach-ing position.

“Brian developed anincredible program,” saidKepley, who graduated fromSt. X in 1985. “I’m veryexcited and blessed to havethis opportunity.

Leading the team thisyear are a pair of first-teamall-league performers, sen-iors-to-be Smith Brinkerand George Rohde.

“They’ve had a veryextensive summer tourna-ment schedule and havehad great success in thepast,” Kepley said. “As sen-iors, they bring the experi-ence of playing at the statechampionships. I look forthem to be our anchors.”

Other contributors willinclude seniors-to-be BradyCarlson, Nick Stenger and CJHowitt, as well as juniors-to-be Jay Brockhoff, NickColvin, Alex Hannan, LeeHouse, Jack Mitchell and

Jake Clements. Joey Arcuri,meanwhile, may be the topsophomore.

“We’re lucky to have somany athletes at St. X whoplay golf,” Kepley said.“We’ve got a lot of guyswith good potential.”

Despite their dominanceover the last two years, theBombers haven’t won aleague title since 2007,when they captured theirfourth consecutive confer-ence crown. Last season, St.X finished second in thestate but third in the GCL-South. Kepley anticipatesanother tough season - notjust in the league, but in thecity as well.

“Moeller, Elder, La Salle,Lakota East, Lakota West -and I’m probably forgettingsome teams - have incredi-

ble players,” he said.Kepley added that his

coaching philosophy is sim-ilar to that of his predeces-sor.

“Like Brian, my empha-sis is on the short game,” hesaid. “All the guys hit theball a mile, and that’s great;but if you can’t put the ballin the hole, it doesn’t matterhow far you hit it.”

Kepley hopes for a returnto the state championshipsbut said the success of thisseason does not hinge onthat.

“You can’t control howother teams play,” he said.“If we do everything thatwe can to prepare and beeffective and efficient so weminimize our mental mis-takes, that’s all I can ask ofthese young men.”

“Because it was my sec-ond year on the USAwomen's team, I was muchmore comfortable with thesituation and coach,” saidKaiser. “I clicked well withUSA teammates DanaMathewson and HopeLewellyn and coach, PaulWalker, who were on theteam last year. Competing inTurkey at this level of com-petition was not too over-

whelming for me since I haddone this before, so I couldreally concentrate onimproving my game.”

Preng calls Kaiser anamazing competitor.

“She is just now startingto tap into her potential.Getting sixth place and herfirst top 10 win against Ju-Yeon Park from Korea, whowas ranked 8th at the WorldTeam Cup, is such a fantas-tic accomplishment,” shesaid.

Said Kaiser, “The load Iam carrying in college alongwith the training and travel-ing for tennis has been diffi-cult, but the experience, thelessons in time manage-ment, and the challenge tobe my best make it all

worthwhile. My next biggoal is to make the 2012Paralympics in London andstay in the top 20 in theworld.”

Tattoos and body piercings areincreasingly popular, yet anyoneconsidering a tattoo or piercingshould be aware of health risksand take precautions to avoidserious health side effects.

State law requires all tattooand body piercing establishments,including those for cosmetic per-manent make-up, to be licensedby their local health department.

The law is designed to ensurethat these procedures are done ina way that minimizes the trans-mission of communicable diseasesand the risk of infection.

People who visit unlicensedfacilities (e.g. residential homes,tattoo parties, Craigslist advertise-ments, etc.) face serious healthconsequences, ranging from localskin infections to blood-borne ill-nesses such as Hepatitis B,Hepatitis C and HIV.

Additionally, employees of tat-too/piercing facilities are requiredto be trained in first aid, control oftransmission of infectious disease,universal precautions againstblood-borne pathogens andappropriate aftercare.

Hamilton County Public Healthinspects tattoo and body piercingestablishments to ensure safe andsanitary conditions are beingmaintained.

The most recent inspection

reports can beviewed atwww.hamilton-c o u n t yhealth.org.

When choos-ing a tattooingor body piercingestablishment:

• Request tosee a copy ofthe establish-ment’s currento p e r a t i n glicense. The

license should be readily availableand posted at the facility.

• Make sure the establishmentlooks clean and a restroom facili-ty is available to customers. Lookfor proper lighting within theestablishment.

• Verify that the artist’s first aidand blood-borne pathogen train-ing documents are available andup-to-date. Look for previouswork done by the artist. Check forpictures on the wall or abinder/portfolio with photos ofwork that the artist has done.

• Prior to beginning any proce-dure, the artist should wash theirhands with soap and water in anearby sink.

• Make sure the artist usesbrand new, disposable needlesand razors, ink caps and a new,

clean pair of sterile gloves foreach piercing or tattooing client.All items should be used onlyonce.

• The artist should clean theskin before tattooing or piercing.

• Make sure you are givendetailed follow-up instructionsand follow them exactly as writ-ten.

Parents should understand andtalk to their children about theconsequences of tattoos and bodypiercings.

Not all establishments chooseto tattoo those under the age of18.

The state of Ohio requires aparent or legal guardian to bepresent when anyone under theage of 18 receives a tattoo orbody piercing.

Additionally, Hamilton CountyPublic Health requires a stateissued driver’s license, state ID orbirth certificate for both individu-als.

If you have questions abouttattoos or body piercings, pleasecontact us at 946-7879 or visitour website at www.hamilton-countyhealth.org.

Around this time of year, manyAnderson Township residents arefacing the end of summer and theonslaught of the back to schoolseason.

However, there are some in thecommunity whose worries are farmore troublesome… like findingtheir next meal.

The statistics are startling: oneout of every six families in theGreater Cincinnati area are foodinsecure, and about a third of allfood insecure residents are chil-dren.

With the 16th Annual RubberDuck Regatta right around thecorner, you can do your part tohelp. The world's largest andlongest-running rubber duck race,the event raises more than$500,000 annually for the Free-store Foodbank.

These dollars are critical tohelping the Freestore Foodbankmeet its mission to feed the hun-gry in our community; the organi-zation's network of 325 non-prof-it member agencies provided 2.2million meals to Tristate commu-nities last year.

This year promises to beanother record-setting event, andwith support from local business-es, communities and dedicatedindividuals, we're confident thatwe will send 125,000 ducks float-ing down the Ohio River on Sept.5.

To prepare for the Rubber DuckRegatta, it takes hundreds of vol-unteers nearly 2,000 hours toprep the ducks for flight, clean

them up post-race and ofcourse, managethe flow ofevents on theday of the event.

I myself am a14-year veteranof the Regatta,doing my partby assistingwith duck salesat Newport onthe Levee and atKroger.

Do you plan to “adopt” a rub-ber duck as part of this year'srace? By participating, you'll notonly help our hungry neighbors –you will also have a chance towin a 2010 Honda Fit Sport, ifyours is the first duck to cross thefinish line. Five runners-up willeach receive a $500 gift card fromKEMBA Credit Union.

There's also a chance the win-ning duck will be the “MillionDollar Duck”; if the winning duckcarries one of 30 pre-selected,confidential numbers, not onlywill the winner receive $1 millionin addition to the car, but $1 mil-lion will also be donated to theFreestore Foodbank.

There has not yet been such a“lucky duck” – this may be theyear!

It's easy to “adopt” ducks: youcan do it online at www.rubber-duckregatta.org; by phone at929-3825; and at all KEMBACredit Union locations and Krogerstores.

Brochures with adoption infor-mation are also available at allFrisch's and Skyline Chili restau-rants and area Honda dealerships.

You can make a difference inthe lives of people in need here inour neighborhood. Buy a duck,feed the hungry ... what could besimpler?

Kurt Reiber is chairman of the board atthe Freestore Foodbank and an

Last week’s question:How much of a difference will

Terrell Owens make for the Bengals,both on the field and off the field?

“It’s anybody’s guess. On onehand, he has some impressiveseasons (2000-2002 with SanFrancisco and 2007-2008 withDallas), but on the other hand,the ability of anyone to endurethe rigors of professional footballand continue to excel is limited.

“Owens is only three yearsyounger than Brett Favre, and hisposition (wide receiver) is proba-bly more demanding in terms ofstamina than Brett. For now, atleast for a year or so, the team ofChad and Terrell will be a formida-ble challenge for the Bengals’opponents.”

Bill B.

“Hard to tell this early, butsince he has a reputation of speed,and with Ocho Cinco on the otherend of the line, the chances ofmore scoring might be greater forthis season.”

O.H.R.

“While Terrell’s arrival wascovered in a positive way and hebehaved quite well, his pastactions with multiple teams wor-ries me. I hope he has maturedand is now ready to be a teamplayer instead of the prima donnawe’ve seen too much of in thepast.

“My son and I have seasontickets and plan to give him a realchance. We just hope he doesn’t

give us any reason to boo him.”R.V.

“I was not in favor of TerrellOwens becoming a Bengal. Hecertainly didn’t come here witheven a hint of humility. I surehope he proves worth it on thefield and that he doesn’t prove tobe a distraction in the lockerroom.”

M.K.T.

“I think he gives them a doublethreat which will be difficult todefend and should result in moreoffense. As for off the field, onecan only hope he has maturedand worked past his foolish past.”

B.N.

“With having Chad and TO theatmosphere will be lively to saythe least. Defenders won’t bedoing the double coverage onChad, so our passing gain shouldbe stellar.”

Church campout to fight malaria

The word friend can be acatch-all word.

Some people boast abouttheir Facebook friends, “Ihave 75 friends.” Othersreply, “Oh, I have 125,250,or 410, on mine!”

High numbers make usfeel popular and wanted.

In his talks on friend-ships, priest psychologistHenri Nouwen made somehelpful distinctions. He saidthere are five categories ofpeople we call friends.

The categories move froman outermost circle (whereintimacy is weak) to an innercircle (where the intimacyfactor is strongest).

The criterion for deter-mining these five levels offriendship is the degree andquality of mutual self-dis-closure involved.

Acquaintances are theouter category people. Weonly know each other super-ficially.

They may be a teacher;other parents we meet at

field-side watching our kidsplay soccer; someone in ouryoga class or that we met onthe Internet; a down-the-street neighbor, etc.

The topics with acquain-tances are the weather,sports, newspaper items,school issues, life generali-ties, etc. There’s familiaritybut no depth of communica-tion. If we never see themagain it doesn’t matter.

Colleagues. These arethe people with whom wework, volunteer, or meetwhile doing a project. WhenI taught high-school I wasone of 71 teachers. We werefriendly, joked, ate lunchtogether and chatted in thestaff room.

Our topics were usuallyschool issues, certain stu-dents, athletics, gripes aboutthe administration or par-ents, or a good movie we’veseen.

At times there was a littlemore conversation into fam-ily or personal issues than

with acquaintances, but notmuch.

Relatives. These“friends” are the assortedgroup of our grandparents,aunts and uncles, marriagein-laws, cousins, etc.

We may see them oftenor then again only at wed-dings, funerals, holidays andreunions. But we have a his-tory together and moreknowledge about each other.

We may exchange minorconfidences or problemssuch as how Uncle Brad wasinvolved in some kind ofshady business deal; Pam iscoping with being bi-polar;and Kimberly had a brief butpassionate affair with a mar-ried man.

But being a relative doesnot mean we necessarilychoose them as deeper inti-mates.

Family and friends.These are the people withwhom we spend a great dealof our time and carry fondlyin our hearts – parents, sib-

lings, spouse, children, life-long friends, etc.

They know us better thananyone. There is a deeperfeeling of affection, mutualsupport, and trust. If we loseone of them in death wegrieve profoundly.

Family members share alot with each other, but noteverything. A psychological-ly healthy person has his orher own boundaries, innerlife, secrets and individuality.

These components of inti-macy are shared only withsomeone of our own choice,and it is usually someonewho is not a blood relative.

Intimate friends. This isthe innermost circle ofhuman friendship. It is usu-ally our spouse or closestfriend. Such a friendship is

extremely difficult to devel-op, and sadly, is even lack-ing in some marriages.

Recent studies indicatethat compared to similarpolls in the 1980s, there arefewer people today whobelieve they have a first-cir-cle intimate friend.

It requires mutual trust,in-depth and honest com-munication, and time.

Our Facebook count maygive us the impression thatwe have a thousand friends.But it’s unlikely that thismost intimate-type friend isjust one of the crowd.

This most significant cat-egory is not achieved if ourcommunication is chieflythrough e-mail or texting. Acrucial element is missing –presence.

Such afriend is au n i q u et r e a s u r ea n dr e q u i r e sm u c hopennessand communication.

I have remembered foryears the wise words of acollege teacher of mine aboutthis truest kind of friend: “Ifin your lifetime, you haveone, or two, such persons inyour life, consider yourselffortunate.”

The temperature on ourthermometer registered103.2 this afternoon.

And in the house, it was-n’t much cooler since I hadbeen making elderberry jelly

and berryjams withmy sister,Edith andneighbor,Sandy.

But itmade met h i n kabout kidsand adultswho areou tdoorsa n d

involved in sports. Properhydration is so important togood health and optimumperformance.

What I worry most aboutkids in this weather is that Iknow it takes longer for achild’s body to adjust toheat and humidity thandoes an adult’s, so we maynot recognize when a childis in trouble, hydrationwise.

Kids produce more bodyheat and don’t sweat as

much as we do at the sameexertion level, so in hotweather, a young athlete isat increased risk for dehy-dration.

And remember, waterworks as a shock absorberin the body, so beinghydrated protects joints, forboth kids and adults.

That’s why today I’msharing recipes for goodhydration. It’s that impor-tant.

And be sure and checkon older folks, too. Theycan become dehydratedwithout realizing it.

Homemade sportsdrink for kids

From my co-authoredbook “The Official SnackGuide For BeleagueredSports Parents.” Check outcolleague Dawn Weather-wax Fall’s websiteSN2go.com for more infor-mation on hydration andkeeping your athletehealthy.

To dilute a powderedjuice drink, or juice fromconcentrate, use at least

twice the water recom-mended. Diluting the juicemay taste weak, but it willhydrate your child and giveenergy for the game.

Rita’s spa waterI shared this recipe with

Amy Tobin on her Aug. 8radio show on Q102. Checkout Amystable.com for thecomplete interview.

Amy loves this drink,and so does everyone whotries it. Here’s why: Lemonscontain vitamin C, whichhelps heal bruises, preventscancer and heart disease.

Vitamin C is also a pow-erful antioxidant, and thebody uses vitamin C tomanufacture collagen –that’s the stuff that gluescells together and helpsheals cuts, etc.

Again, the vitamin Callows your body to absorbcalcium better. Susan Parkerof Susan’s Natural Worldadvises that lemons are agentle liver cleanser.

Lemons contain potassi-um, and we know thatnourishes the brain, heartand muscles. It also helps

your body better utilize car-bohydrates and iron fromfood.

The mint is a great diges-tive and uplifting herb plusit “fools” your brain intothinking you’re fuller thanyou are. And stevia is a nat-ural sugar substitute herb.

Master recipe:Fill a jar or pitcher

halfway up with peppermintleaves, bruising the leavesas you go. Continue fillingabout 3⁄4 to the top withlemon slices, bruising theslices as you go.

Fill with good qualitywater, let infuse for 30 min-utes at least, and sweeten totaste. Use stevia, a naturalsugar substitute herb, whichis 30 to hundreds of timessweeter than sugar, or usehoney, or drink as is.

Check out my websiteabouteating.com for a videoand more information aboutstevia.

I like to add blueberries,raspberries or sliced straw-berries for a burst of colorand added nutrition. Thisdrink is refillable.

Frappé like McDonald’sHow about this on a blis-

tering hot day? Reader TomOhmer has been looking fora recipe.

When I called McDon-ald’s, I got a long list ofingredients. It started outwith normal items likewater, cream, sugar, milk,coffee extract, Dutch cocoa,etc.

Then it got dicey withwords only a chemist couldunderstand. Years ago incooking school, we made abase for fun drinks and it issimilar to recipes I found forthis drink. So here’s mytake on it.

Mix together:1⁄3 cup instant coffee, dry,

crushed1 cup sugar1 cup dry milk powder3⁄4 cup nondairy creamer1⁄2 cup Dutch cocoaDash or two of salt

To make frappé:Put a couple handfuls of

ice in a blender. Add 1⁄2 cupof half & half. Pour in 1⁄2 cupof mix. Blend on high until

smooth. Garnish withwhipped cream and choco-late syrup.

Tips from Rita’s kitchen• Non-alkalized, or natu-

ral, which is the traditionaltype.

• Dutch/alkalized has amilder taste, reduced acidityand is somewhat redder incolor.

• Special dark is a blendof the two.

COURTESY OF COUNTRY GARDENS

Picture of Rita Heikenfeld's spa waterthat was featured in “CountryGardens” magazine in 2008.


A group of teen membersof the Church of Jesus Christof Latter-day Saints staged amodel handcart trek at Cae-sar Creek State Park nearWilmington, Ohio, June 17through June 19.

These teens, hailing fromthe Anderson Township,Union Township, Milford,Loveland, Sycamore Town-ship, Wilmington andGeorgetown areas, gave upcell phones, computers,shorts and swimming for aweekend of learning aboutand appreciating their reli-gious ancestors and her-itage, said youth leader JanVandeMerwe.

From 1847 to 1869,thousands of Mormon pio-neers were expelled fromthe United States and madethe journey to the Salt LakeValley in current Utah.

About 70,000 traveled inwagons, but to save on thecost of expensive wagonsand livestock, about 3,000of these pioneers made thejourney on foot, pushingsmall handcarts.

Each person was allowedto carry only 17 pounds ofpersonal belongings.

These modern teens

recreated this experience,making a difficult trek oftheir own as they carriedsparse personal belongingsand hauled handcartsthrough challenging terrain,VandeMerwe said.

Kathleen Pearson, anoth-er adult leader on the trek,said the teens stopped regu-larly to view vignettes whereother church members recre-ated pioneer figures andshared what life was like forthem on the trail.

They mentioned burningbuffalo chips for fuel, livingon rations of two cups offlour a day – and whentimes were difficult, less –losing family members toillness and finding romance.

“We have this trek tohelp the youth understandand appreciate the sacri-fices of those early mem-bers, as well as build theirown faith and courage,”Pearson said.

The teens cooked and atefood similar to what the pio-neers would have had, shesaid, such as stew made ofwater and root vegetables,simple biscuits, beef jerkyand fruit leather.

The most significant

thing about trek for GilMarchant, 18, of Milford, isan appreciation for theimportance and significanceof family.

“When it comes rightdown to it, in the biggest tri-als and tribulations youhave in life, your family arethe ones who are alwaysthere for you,” Marchantsaid.

“They’re the ones whowill always be there to backyou up.”

Madeline Vance, 16, ofLoveland agreed: “Themost challenging thingwould be to stay mentallypositive, even though wewere working so hardpushing a huge handcart,but I was able to do thatbecause my family wassinging the whole time andreally working together.”

This bonding with hertrek family as they workedtogether was the best part oftrek, Vance said.

Matthew Benson, 15, ofSycamore, said he gainedan appreciation for how dif-ficult the journey must havebeen for pioneers.

“It was really nice to beable to go and see what ourancestors went through,”Benson said.

“We just gave stuff upfor two or three days. Theygave it up forever. We justwent for few days in the for-est. They went all the wayacross the United States.”

Several of the teens weresurprised by how physicallydemanding the journeywas. Melissa Bingham, 16,of Batavia said, “It was liter-ally, physically tough. I did-n’t think it was going to beas tough as it was.”

To get through the chal-lenging tasks, Bingham saidher family would sing songs,and talk about our lives“back home,” their schoolsand their favorite foods.

“I learned to take advan-tage of the things I haveand not be so materialistic.Being on trek makes youvery grateful for everythingyou have. I am really grate-ful I don’t have to go an trekevery day, like they did,”she said.

St. Timothy to holdcatechesis for kids

Dustin Kennedy knowswhat it is like to be in painand to suffer. By the age of9, Kennedyhad alreadyendured 16 surgeries. He isa brain cancer survivor andan epileptic.

Kennedy, now 13,knows he is lucky to havethe doctors and medical carethat he receives here inCincinnati.

This became very appar-ent to him in June whenKennedy and his father,David Kennedy, were part ofa mission trip from CloughUnited Methodist Church toMy Father’s House, anorphanage in Whitehouse,Jamaica.

During this mission trip,Dustin Kennedy met thefamily of a man simplycalled Yellow.

Yellow was a fisherman

who worked odd jobs inaddition to fishing to sup-port his family. On one ofthese odd jobs, a home col-lapsed on Yellow crushinghis pelvis.

“He is just laying there inthe hospital in pain. I haveto help him,” said Kennedy.

“Hospitals aren’t likethey are here in America.They don’t receive painmedication, surgery or any-thing unless they can affordit,” he said.

“They are just left thereto either come up with themoney or die. I feel sorry forthe whole family. WithoutYellow his family has nofood or source of income,”said Kennedy.

Once Kennedy learnedthat the $400,000 cost ofthe needed surgery inJamaican currency is

$5,000 in American curren-cy, he immediately turned tohis father and said, “I wantto help Yellow. I want toraise the money to save hislife.”

Kennedy is keeping hispromise.

He has set up an accountunder the name of KingdomBuilders Ministries at FifthThird Bank to benefit Yel-low.

Donations to help Yellowcan be made at any FifthThird branch or maileddirectly to Kingdom BuildersMinistries (indicate Yellowin the memo line of thecheck), P.O. Box 30010,Cincinnati, OH 45230.

Kennedy is also organiz-ing fundraisers, including adog wash through hischurch, to help Yellow andhis family.
