Bethel-Tate Local SchoolDistrict officials have said littlein months about the possibilityof asking residents to approve atax levy, but worrisome fi-nances remain an issue.

“We will revisit it later thisfall,” Board of Education Presi-dent Barb Leonard said recent-ly.

“The board was just discuss-ing finances (in the spring) andwe talked about all of our op-tions.

“Therefore we have notformedacommittee (ondistrictfinances yet),” Leonard said.

LastOctober, theBethel-TateLocal Schools compiled a five-year financial forecast that pre-dicted theschooldistrict’sunre-served fund balance would be$1.5million in the red at the endof June 2018.

“The only update since Octo-ber was theMay five-year fore-cast,” district Treasurer AmyWells said.

“It projects a negative unre-served fund balance of $1.9mil-lion at the end of June 2018. “

Bethel-Tate Local SchoolDistrict officials have not said alevy will definitely be put on afuture ballot.

Nor have they said whetherthe most attractive optionwould be an operating levy, anincome-tax levy, a permanent-improvement levy or an emer-gency levy.

The size and timing of anylevyrequest–whichwouldbe in2015 at the earliest – also are upin the air.

What Bethel-Tate officialshave said is that the communitywill play a crucial part in thede-cision on how to proceed.

One scenario discussed inApril would be for the Bethel-Tate Local Schools to host atown hall meeting to educatethe community about Ohio’scomplicated and ever-changingschool-funding formula, howmuch money the Bethel-Tatedistrict needs to operate theschools, what cuts have alreadybeen made, how many morecuts will need to be made ifmore revenue is not found andwhich programs the district isrequired to offer.

For example, the state re-quires school districts to offerfine arts classes for students ingrades seven through12 but notfor students in kindergartenthrough grade six.

Special education must befunded but gifted classes arenot required.

Should there be a town hallmeeting, Bethel-Tate educatorssaid, the community could beasked which programs it wouldcut if the levy idea is rejected –

TATE TOWNSHIP — As localofficials prepare to host nextJuly’sUSRowingClubNationalChampionships at East ForkState Park in Clermont County,a U.S. senator offered an up-date on legislation tomitigate aharmful algae bloom that re-cently plagued the lake here.

Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio,toured East Fork State Park’sWilliam H. Harsha Lake byboat Thursday, Aug. 21, beforehosting a roundtable discus-sion with about 25 local waterquality stakeholders.

Portman said his bipartisanalgae legislation,whichrecent-ly was signed into law, will en-sure that federal agenciesprio-ritize monitoring and mitiga-tion efforts on freshwater bod-ies for the first time. Itrequires better coordinationbetween federal agencies, en-sures that federal researchandmonitoring efforts are usableat the local level, and calls forincreasing the annual fundingfor the federal government’salgaebloomworkbyabout $7.5million a year.

“I came out to seewhat’s go-ing on in terms of dealing withthis toxic algae here at EastFork Lake and also at otherlakes around Ohio and on theGreat Lakes,” Portman said.“There’s this increasing prob-lem of toxic algae blooms.”

Besides posing a risk to thevery young, the very old andthose with compromised im-mune systems who want toswim or wade in William H.Harsha Lake, the toxin can af-fect the local economy.

“Here, for instance, theyhave the opportunity to bringin a lot of rowing champion-

ships, including the nationalrowing championships nextyear,” Portman said. “We wantto make sure that happens.That’s a severalmilliondollar ayear impact here in the localcommunity...”

Next summer’s USRowingClub National Championshipsrepresents one of the largestsummer regattas in the U.S.The event is expected to drawabout 1,800 athletes over fivedays.

For much of this summer,thestateplacedEastForkStatePark’s campground and mainbeaches under a recreationalpublic health advisory becauseof a toxin produced by a harm-ful algae bloom called mycro-cystin. The toxin,which occursin warmer weather when thewater isn’t moving much, hasbeen showing up at the lake inEast Fork State Park since2011.

That advisory recently waslifted, but authorities continueto collect and analyze watersamples for unacceptable lev-els of the toxin produced by analgae bloom.

Lawyer Paul Schmid, headcoach for Clermont Crew,which will co-host the USRow-ing Club National Champion-ships at East Fork State Parknext summer, said that thecounty “is uniquely positionedasafederal, state, localandpri-vate partnership area” to deal

with the complex issue be-cause of the tremendousamount of data that’s been col-lected by various agencies onthe Upper Watershed at EastFork.

“Ifwe’regoingtofindasolu-tion to this problem, a placelike East Fork could play arole,” he said.

Union Township resi-dent Tom Hahn is a lot ofthings: a businessman, amarketing professional, asalesman.

One thing he’s not, andthat’s a grown man afraidto be photographedwith abright yellow rubberducky.

That’s because Hahn –director of retail branddevelopment at CatalinaMarketing in downtownCincinnati – believes it’sfor a good cause.

It’s to publicize the an-nual Rubber Duck Regat-ta,whichbenefits theFre-estore Foodbank, also indowntown Cincinnati.

Sales are open now forthe ducks that are expect-ed to number some200,000 when they arethrown into the Ohio Riv-er from the Purple PeopleBridge at about 3 p.m.Sunday, Aug. 31, duringthe P&G Riverfest.

Most will represent a$5 donation to the Frees-tore Foodbank. You canbuy six ducks for $25.

This is the fifth yearHahn has served on thesteering committee of theRubber Duck Regatta,which is in its 20th year.

“I have come to knowthe Freestore Foodbankassociates as a collectionof smart, giving peoplewho are deeply passion-ate about theirwork in the

community,” Hahn said.“The Rubber Duck Re-

gatta brings together peo-ple from different walksof life in the community,all with the singular goalof making a small contri-bution to the largergoalofalleviating hunger.

“It is a group withwhich I amproud to be as-sociated,” Hahn said.

Sarah Cook is publicrelationsspecialist for theFreestore Foodbank,which provides food andservices topeople inneed.

“Every day, 100,000kids are among the300,000 people in the Tris-tatearea that areat riskofhunger,” Cook said.

“The Freestore Food-bank provides more than18.5 million meals to hun-gry people through 275 lo-cal community partner-ships.

“One of the ways theFreestore Foodbank isable to continue to servethe community is throughits annual Rubber DuckRegatta,” Cook said.

“The event is the Fre-estore Foodbank’s largestfundraiser.”

Catalina Marketing,the company for whichHahn works, prints duck

papers available at localKroger Co. stores that al-lowpeople to buyducks atthe check-out in hopes therubber toys are first overthe finish lineat the regat-ta.

The buyer with the pa-perwork for the fastestduck at the Rubber DuckRegatta will win a 2014Honda Accord Sport and,if the buyer’s first-placeduck is also the special“Million Dollar Duck,” $1million, too.

The second prize win-

nerwill get $100gift cardsfrom Kroger every weekfor a year and five morewinnerswill get $500 cashfrom the Kemba CreditUnion.

Ducks are availablenow online at www.rubberduckregatta.organd by phone at 513-929-DUCK (3825).

Throughout August,people also can buy ducksat all Kroger Co. storesand Kemba Credit Unionlocations.

A publication of

Recently, my friend’s moth-er experienced a fall at herhome.

Fortunately, Andre was onthe phone with her when shefell. He was able to immedi-ately summon the local emer-gency squad to respond, thustransporting her to the localhospital. Sadly, Mrs. Z suffereda broken fibula, and a frac-tured ankle as a result of thefall. She is undergoing therapyand rehabilitation at a localfacility.

As campy as the phrase wasoften portrayed in comedysketches after its release incommercials, a fall, followedby a person’s inability to get upand summon assistance, is oneof the most frequent causes offatality for older adults. Ac-cording to Healthy Ohio,through the Ohio Department

of Health,“Older adultsare dispropor-tionately af-fected by fall-related in-jury.” More-over, fallsamong olderadults havereached epi-demic propor-tions. It is

reported that from 2000 to2011, Ohioans aged 65 and old-er experienced a 167 percentincrease in the number of fatalfalls and 145 percent increasein the fall death rate.

Not surprising, the risks forsuffering serious injury after afall increases dramaticallywith advancing age. On aver-age, 2.6 older Ohioans sufferedfatal falls each day in 2011, and

Ohioans 65 years and olderaccounted for approximately84 percent of fatal falls thatyear.

One way to protect yourselfor loved one is to consider apersonal emergency responsesystem. This call button can beworn as an adjustable medicalalert necklace, or as a medicalalert bracelet.

Moreover, the devices arereassuring to adult childrenwho know that if an aging par-ent suffers a fall, stroke orheart attack, immediate assis-tance can be summoned. Manymodels can detect when a per-son has fallen. This is especial-ly helpful if the individual isunconscious.

The American Associationfor Retired Persons recom-mends that you consider thesefactors when choosing a sys-

tem:1) Look at several systems

before making a decision;2) Compare costs. Charges

for equipment and services,typically, include a setup feeanywhere from $50 to $200 anda monthly fee ranging from$30 to $60;

3) Read the contract care-fully and understand the can-cellation process;

4) make sure the provideroffers 24/7 monitoring andsupport; 5) Ask how often thesystem is tested; and 6) ask fora 30 day free or money-backtrial.

Mrs. Z actually had a med-ical alert system. However, shewasn’t wearing the alert deviceat the time of her fall. Luckily,her son was able to summonthe emergency crew to herhome. Thanks to her son, Mrs.

Z will be returning to her homein the near future.

Conversely, the elderlymother of a local physicianwas discovered alone in herbedroom, dehydrated, injuredand barely conscious a full dayafter she suffered a fall andstroke. Because of the delayeddiscovery, the time in which astroke can be aggressivelytreated to minimize or counterthe effects was compromised.The doctor’s mother, who be-fore the stroke had no serioushealth conditions, now liveswith him and his wife.

I’ve fallen and can’t get up is no joke

CindyGramkeCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Aug. 21 questionShould schools continue to

teach cursive writing? Why orwhy not?

“Yes! Because it is neces-sary! And children can’t wait tolearn to write in cursive.”

Marirose Stiver

“The teaching of cursivehandwriting and reading hasbeen in schools since AbrahamLincolnwroteonacoal shovel ina one-room log cabin school. Itnot only teachesyoung studentshow to write, but how to readhand writing. It develops coor-dination, neatness and expres-sion. Today most communicatenon-vocally via text, email andother social media methodswhere a typewriter QWERTYkeyboard is also important. Butto stop teaching cursive wouldbe similar to discontinue teach-ing math since we all have cal-culators in our smart phonesand spread sheets on our PCsetc. Somehow the old saying ofreading, writing and arithmeticis just as applicable today as itwas many years ago. Go Fig-ure!!!”

T.D.T.

“Yes, absolutely. Otherwisehow will the upcoming genera-tions be able to sign voter regis-tration cards so they can votefor more Social Security bene-fits for the soon-to-retire gener-ations?”

M. J. F.“They should teach reading

it, not necessarily writing it.Teaching typing is more practi-cal today.”

John Pile

“They should continue toteach it for the sole fact thatsomeone will have to interpretold documents in the future.Youknow, from like the1940sorsomething. LOL. Maybe notnecessarily writing it, but atleast reading it.”

Jessica Searcy

“Personally, I think theyshould continue teaching andrequiring its use. The practiceof learning good penmanshipalso improves fine motor skills.While it may feel antiquated, itdoes have value.”

Brenda Hanus

“Yes. I believe cursive writ-ing to still be useful in today’ssociety.Howelsewill they learnto (properly) sign theirname?If

you need to knowhow to read it,you may as well learn how towrite it.Technologyisgreat,butit is bound to fail one day and Ifor one am not going to allow itto takemy household complete-ly over. Furthermore, I amirked by the fact that good pen-manship does not seem to be asimportant any more, either. Ifmy sons don’t learn it in school,they will be taught it at home.Thankfully, my oldest is learn-ing it at Longbranch Elemen-tary.”

Beth Payton

“Cursive writing should betaught ... if anyoneeverwants toget into genealogy or researchhistoric documents, they wouldneed to know. But, if parentstook 20 minutes a night for aweek or two, the kids couldlearn it at home ... it isn’t thathard to teach or learn!”

Roxie Held

“Yes, because cursive writ-ing is beneficial to learning andintegrating communication be-tween the two hemispheres ofthe brain.”

Carrie Cox

“Yes, for basic reasons –reading it (sometimes my kidscannot read what I write) andfor signing legal documents(checks, contracts, etc).”

Jolene Benedict

“Bare minimum, teach themhow to sign their name. Mysixth-grader is clueless onthat.”

Alice Tranter Albrinck

“I think they should teachboth the reading and writing ofit. I gave two high school gradu-ates money for graduation andreceived thank you notes thatlooked like theywerewrittenbya second-grader. I would havebeen so embarrassed for mychild. It’s sad.”

Kim Struewing

“How will they be able to

readhistorical documents, suchas the Constitution? Of coursethey should learn it! A part ofhistory requires it!”

Julee Ellison

“A personal finance classshould be mandatory for allhigh schoolers to graduate.”

Jessica Searcy

“Cursive reading and writ-ing should be at least offered.As others have said historicaldocuments, signatures andleast we forget that pricelesssignature baseball.With no cur-sive reading being taught howwould we know whose signa-ture it was? That part was sup-posed to be funny but maybewhen you really think about it,it’s not.”

Sheri Brown

“If the school system wantsto move away from teachingchildren how to spell correctlybecause most computer soft-ware has spellcheck what is thepoint in teaching cursive whenthe children will be doing mostof their work on a computer?Time spent that would have

been spent teaching this skillcould be used to educate chil-dren in other matters such asgrammar.”

Jen Christen

“Most computers also have agrammarcheck.Teaching themhow to speak correctly and usewords properly is a differentstory.”

Roxie Held

“They will need to know itsomedayandtheywillbesmart-er for it.”

John Scales

“No, dumb them down somemore. That waywewill have to-tal government and corporatecontrol.”

John Bernard

“No need to teach cursive. Itis useless now days.”

James Bartley

“Yes, it’s more than learningto write beautifully, it’s aboutfinemotorskills, concentration,and ability to read decorativefonts.”

Lou Hozeska

“Yes! If the teachers are not‘particular’ about penmanshipas they were when I was taughtthen there is plenty of time toteach how to read, write andtype it.”

Lindsey Martin

“Yes. We still need to readcursive and sign our names andasignature is asuniqueasaper-sonality.”

Terri Connor

“Cursive writing is not yetobsolete, so we should keepteaching it. Perhaps we couldeliminate Roman numerals in-stead.”

Mary Foster

“Yes, it’s taught in second-and third-grade. By fourth-grade most students are al-ready experts at writing it.”

Brian Nagy

“But ifweeliminate teachingRoman numerals, how will weknow which Super Bowl we’rewatching?!? ;P”

BETHEL — What’s old is newin Bethel.

After struggling with a 1-9record in2013,Bethel-TateHighSchool football coach Bill Je-nike has picked up the pacethrough misdirection and the“old school” Wing-T.

The Tigers ran it way backwhen under Zak Taylor, whothen took itwith success toGlenEste. Now at Mason, Taylor hasbeen inconsultationwithJenikeover the summer.

In the formation,Bethel-Tatecan feature as many as threerunners. Pivotal in its successwill be junior quarterback Jef-frey Botts, who is on his way tobeing a four-year starter by thetime he graduates in 2016.

“He’s sort of the catalyst ofour team,” Jenike said.

Botts was second teamSouthern Buckeye Conference-National Division as a sopho-more last season. He’s also awrestler, something Jenike en-vies.He’d like to tap intoBethel-Tate’s talented grapplers.

“They have great balance,”Jenike said. “You don’t knockthem down. If they do getknockeddown, theygetbackup.We’re not getting that network.We do have somewrestlers, butI’d like to have more of them.”

Last year’s quarterback, Al-lenHaave,will also tote the loaf.Both Haave and Botts had theirseasons shortened last year byinjury.

“He’s getting some looksfrom some DIII schools,” Je-nike said ofHaave. “He’s a real-ly good athlete with a nose forthe football.”

Sophomore Stephen Cooperand freshmanAustinCarter areother options for the Tigers andwill be counted on for the fu-ture. Jenike is excited about thepotential for Carter, whose fa-ther once blocked for for NotreDame and NFL running back

Marc Edwards at Norwood.Locally, Glen Este, Loveland

and Indian Hill are among theprograms running a version ofthe Wing-T. However, Bethel-Tatemaybe the only team in theSBAAC.

“In this league, nearly every-body ran it,” Jenike said. “Then,teams became a little morespread. I think Goshen’s goingto run out of the “I”; New Rich-mond runs spread and Amelia

ran somespread.Unless thenewcoach at CNE runs Wing-T, Ithink we’ll be the only one.”

Many of the players will begoing bothways out of necessityand Jenike looks for big playsfrom senior Derek Dotson andsophomore Caleb Bastin. Bothplay offensive lineman/line-backer.

Defensively, Jenike is goingback to the 50 defense (five line-men on the line of scrimmage)that he learned in his years ofcoaching the Mariemont War-riors.

“When I was at Mariemont, I

went from offense to defense,”Jenike said. “I learned a lot offootball from Mariemont and(former coach Tom) Crosby andthose guys. We’re going to goback to what I know and what Ifeel comfortable with.”

BATAVIA — Visitors toBatavia High School seegiant green and whitepawprints decorating thedriveway leading to thestadium. Then comes atraffic sign that once-upon-a-time may havebeenabigpart of the foot-ball team’s offensiveplaybook. “NoPassingAl-lowed.”

Thatcertainlywon’tbethe case for the Bulldogsunder first-year varsityhead coach Caleb Corrill,a former Batavia starplayer and later assistantcoach who inherited ateam that went 5-5 lastseason.

Senior Keshawn Foleyreturns for his senioryear at quarterback afteraccounting for a com-bined 42 touchdowns lastseason, passing, rushingand even even a kickoffreturn for a score. He’sbeen compared to recent-ly injured Ohio Statequarterback BraxtonMiller and is gettingNCAA Division I interest

from several Mid-Ameri-can Conference schools.

“We’ve modified ouroffense for him,” Corrillsaid. “He’s just a specialtalent. He can throw. Hecan run. He’s big andstrong. He’s making gooddecisions. It’s a spreadstill, but the biggest dif-ference will be the zonerunning scheme. Kesh-awn will have a lot of op-tions going up to the lineout of any given forma-

tion.”Foley is not a one-man

band. He has 18 other ju-niors and seniors withvarsity experience sur-rounding him.

“These seniors, theywere sophomores the lasttime we went to the play-offs and a lot of themplayed significant timeon that team,” Corrillsaid. “They want to getback there. Now theyhave to be the ones who

are the leaders. They hadagreatseniorclass tocar-rythem.Nowtheyhavetoto carry the youngerguys.”

Itwill startupfront forthe Bulldogs, where sen-iors RomeloWilliams andCole Norman anchor theoffensive and defensivelines while mentoringsophomores StephenTrainor and 6-foot-5, 310-pound Austin Gray. Sen-ior Sean Hill is a veteran

defensive end.Senior Darnay Foley

returns at linebacker andrunning back, where hewill be joined in the back-field by junior tailbackDylannWagner.

Junior Shawn Adamsprovides a big target attight end and also lines upas a receiver with class-mate Seth Steele, a con-verted basketball playertrying football for thefirst time.

Keep an eye on sopho-more Alex Appel at safe-ty. His wrestling back-ground and strong workethic make him an assetin the secondary.

“Ourmain goal soundscliched, but we want towin week one,” Corrillsaid. “That’s been our fo-cus. These kids have thetalent to win as manygames as theywant, but itstarts the first week withEast Clinton.”

NEW RICHMOND —Threepoints.Amere fieldgoal. That’s all that stoodbetween the New Rich-mond High School foot-ball teamand theDivisionIII playoffs last season.

The2013Lionswent 9-1andmissed the eighth andfinal playoff berth spot bypercentage points. Sec-ond-year head coach JoshStratton said he tries notto dwell on the past, butadmitted he has refer-enced that club this pre-season.

“We had a good yearlast year,” he said. “Butit’s different this year. Wegraduated 16 seniors and15 of them were starters,so we lost about half ourstarting offense and de-fense. I’ve told these kidsthey can’t just show upand expect to win games.We went 9-1 last year be-cause we put in the work.Thesekidshave todo that,too. They have to getmeaner if we’re going tobe a good team.”

Winning brought moreplayers to the program;the Lions have more than100 football players,freshmen through sen-iors, including nearly 70on the varsity roster.

“That’s up from 47 in2011,” Stratton said. “Welack a lot of experience,but we have a ton of

depth.”Plus, the experienced

players theLionshavearestrong, ledby leagueplay-er of the year candidate,senior running backTylerAnderson. Anderson au-thored six differentschool rushing recordslast season and Strattonexpects more of the sameas senior Glen Este trans-ferT.J.Burbageandsoph-omore Gage Kramer bat-tle for thequarterbackpo-sition.

The offensive line av-erages 270 pounds perman and features return-ing senior Josh Trivettand junior Tyler Sam-mons. Returning receiv-ers include juniors AustinTorrens and Michael Wil-liamson, who will alsoplay some running back.

Three of the four play-

ers from a secondary thatonly gave up three pass-ing touchdowns last sea-son return, including sen-iors Jimmy Snider, MilesBurnam and Derek Gel-ter. The front seven maybe the question mark

early as only junior line-backer Frankie Taulbeeand senior lineman Pat-rick Richardson return asstarters.

Stratton isn’t lookingtoo far ahead, but doeshave Oct. 10 circled on his

calendar. The week sevenroad game at WesternBrown is a chance for theLions toavenge lastyear’sonly loss,makeaclaimforthe Southern BuckeyeConference American ti-tle and -hopefully - secure

a playoff berth.“This year if we’re 9-1,

we’re in easily,” Strattonsaid. “Eitherwe’vebeatenCHCA or we’ve beatenWestern Brown, and boththem should give usenough points tomake it.”

WILLIAMSBURG — Wil-liamsburg High Schoolhas big expectationsheadinginto the2014foot-ball season.

TheWildcats are seek-inganotherplayoffberth,but have a big hole to fillon offense. Big changeson one side of the ball willbe offset by experienceon the other side.

Lastyear’s topwidere-ceivers are now battlingit out for the startingquarterback duty. AustinHorn and Jared Spurlockare competing for thequarterback job with theknowledge and comfortthat whoever wins outwill have the other tothrow to as his main tar-get.

“I expect they willboth have great years re-gardless of what positionthey end up at,” said headcoach Scott Lefker. “Both

offer very different qual-ities and strengths butboth will play well intowhat we want to do thisyear.”

The offense has plentyof weapons, althoughsome are unproven at thevarsity level. ReceiversEvan Barge on the out-sideandKurtMeisbergerand Spencer Clowery inthe slot will provide thequarterback with a pleth-ora of weapons. Runningback Mason Hall willcomplement the passingattack. The Wildcats willaim for a more balancedattack this season.

“We will be a morewell-rounded team distri-buting the ball moreevenly to our playersthrough the pass andrun,” said Lefker. “Lastyear, we relied heavily onthe running capabilitiesof our quarterback andrunning back.”

The defense returnsnine starters and should

be a strength, especiallyearly in the season whenthe newcomers on of-fensearestill adjustingtonew positions or varsitycompetition.While theof-fense will be fast, thereare questions up front.The Wildcats must re-place four out of fivestarting offensive line-men. Billy Cadwalladerand Joe Morgan will an-

chor the line.“We will have four ju-

niors and one senior thatwill be asked to step upfrom the reserve ranksand take a leadershiprole,” said Lefker.

Hall, Horn, Spurlock,and Morgan are the cap-tains this season and theirleadership will be vital tothe Wildcats’ success. Itwill takeatotal teameffort

to lead the Wildcats totheir goals of a leaguechampionship and playoffvictory. The seniors wantto go out on top.

“Those four are ourteam captains, but we aregoing to rely heavily onour entire senior class tolead us,” said Lefker.

The Wildcats open theseason on August 29 vs.Reading.

GOSHEN — To an outsider itmight have looked like a scenefrom “Groundhog’s Day.”

Goshen High School footballplayers lined up and took theirstances. A receiver went in mo-tion from left to right. Thequar-terback - in the shotgunposition- waited for the snap. And wait-ed. And waited.

Whistle.“Runitagain,”saidfirst-year

Warriors head coach RyanGeorge.

Players lined up again. Tooktheir stances again. The receiv-er went in motion again. Thequarterback never got the snapagain, this time because it hitthemotionmanasheranacross.

Whistle.“Run it again,” George said.

And continued to say, runningthe play threemore times at theend of practice until the timingwas correct and the play wentoff as planned.

“We only have seven sen-iors,” George said. “We’re stilllearning the game.We just haveto get mentally tougher. Wehave to be focused and reallyknow our assignments if we’regoing to compete. I think we’llget there. Once it gets to where(the game) slows down forthem, we’ll start to get the re-sults we’re looking for. It’s aprocess.”

George went away from thepure spread offense Goshenplayed last year and installed a

pro I system.He said some spread possi-

bilities are available in thatscheme, but “we ultimatelywant to be a physical runningteam.Wewant to go forward onevery snap of the ball, which issomething the linemen arelearning again. Running teamsalways drive forward off theline. That’s their first instinct,not going back into pass cover-age.”

Senior Hunter Hines is theonly returning starter on the of-

fensive and defensive linesfrom a team that went 4-6 lastseason, including a 1-3 mark inthe Southern Buckeye Confer-ence American.

He’ll be protecting juniorquarterback Isaac Hart, whohas a pair of senior receivingtargets in Kyle Decker andGiles Munafo. Junior JasonYoung is one of the top return-ing defenders at outside line-backer.

“We need to show improve-mentdaybyday,week toweek,”

George said. “I see kids one dayand I think they’ll be in themix,then the next day they have abad practice and I don’t know.We have have to get more con-sistent all the way around.

“What’s going to be reallycritical for us - it sounds simplebut it’s not - is to be positive onevery play. Even if it’s just twoyards. Second-and-eight, sec-ond-and-six, we can manage. Ifwe’re looking at second-and-12,third-and-18, it’s going to berough.”

OWENSVILLE — New coach.New outlook.

First-year Clermont North-eastern High School headcoach Scott Gildea inherited aRocket program with littleroom to go anywhere but up.CNE posted back-to-back 1-9seasons coming into this yearand its best season in the lastfive was 4-6 back in 2010.

“There is a lot of excitementwithin the football programand school,” Gildea said. “Wehave a lot of upgrades to ourathletic facilities, includinglocker rooms, visitor bleachersandPAsystem.Theplayers areworking hardand are buyinginto our philoso-phies and theyhave made itclear that theywant to win.

“We havegreat size upfront and lots ofspeed at the skillpositions; and if we continue togetbetter eachday,we'regoingto be a good football team.”

“You want to shoot for thebest,” said sophomore runningback Luke Newton. “Our teamgoal is to win the league.”

Sophomore quarterbackShawn Lykins said a SouthernBuckeye Conference title maybe a stretch goal this season,butcertainly isattainable in thenot-too-distant future.

“Looking back at freshmanyear and watching from thesidelines, I’m pretty excited toplay (on the varsity level),” hesaid. “Just getting the chanceto prove ourselves and to proveCNE football can be good isimprtant. I think we can be a.500 team.We just want to startit out as strong as we can and

get better every week.”Newton and Lykins are new

skill players complimentingseveral veterans. Gildea sim-ply lists senior Trey Amann asan athlete because of his versa-tility; Aman will line up at full-back, tailback, in the slot and asa wide receiver, giving theRockets a number of offensivelooks. Lykins has a pair of sen-ior receiver he can target inSteve Allen and Dylan Gentry.

The line features returningsenior Owen Underwood. Re-turning juniors Donald HahnandTylerCole sufferedseason-ending injuries in the presaea-son, so sophomore Johnny Co-rey will have to produce early.JuniorLoganFishbackanchorsthedefenseat linebacker,whilesophomoredefensivebackTre-vor Braun will be a key in thesecondary. Junior BataviatransferTylerZimmermanwillhelp at tight end, running back,defensive end and linebacker.

“Our skill guys are toughand our line guys have prettygood size,” Gildea said.“There’s excitement in theschool and in the community.Wewant tomake thismore thana game, but a whole town occa-sion. We’re ready to get start-ed.”

Elliott Higgins will be one ofonly12 seniors on a smallMcNi-cholas Rockets roster trying towinathirdstraightdivisiontitlein 2014.

But what coach Mike Orlan-do’s two-time defending Great-er Catholic League Coed Cen-tralchampions lack innumbers,theymake up for in quality ath-letes, students and leaders.

And Higgins is at the top ofthat list.

“He’s a 4.0 student, ahigh-ac-ademicguy,”Orlandosaidofhissenior linebacker/tight end andthree-year starter. “He’s ourleader. Hewas a captain as a ju-nior last year and I’ve neverbeen in a program where a ju-nior was a captain. That’s votedon by his peers. He earned it.The kids look up to him.”

Balancing responsibilitieshas always been Higgins’ plan.

“Between work, family,sports and school, you just haveto find a good balance andman-age your time accordingly,”Higgins said. “You can’t put toomuch into one thing because itwillunbalanceanotherandreal-ly mess you up. My family isoutstanding. They help me outmore than I could ever ask forand that really helps me to putmore time into football and inthe classroom. Those have al-ways been the priorities, butmost of all, the classroom. Myparentshavealwaysshowedmethe importance of it and mygrandpa has as well.”

Higgins led the GCL Coedwith 143 tackles last season andadded1.5 sacks andan intercep-tion. He’ll be the leader of thedefense again in 2014. Althoughsmall, Higgins will also have arole on the Rockets’ run firstand run second offense fromthe tight end position.

“He’s a kid we lean on, a

smart, smartkid,”Orlandosaid.“He gets it both physically andmentally.”

Whether in the middle of theRockets defense or in class,Higgins pursues his target re-lentlessly.

“For him, it’s his motor,” Or-lando said. “He’s a really in-tense kid on the field, but he’s areally nice kid. He’s going to

knock you down and he’ll helpyou up and be sincere about it.For me, it’s his motor. He keepson going. He has a will and de-sire to get things done and hejust keeps going. If he makesmistakes, he justworks throughit.”

Higgins would like to earn athird-straight Central Divisiontitle in2014andadvancefurther

in theplayoffs.HisRockets suf-fered a 52-14 loss to Division IVstate champion Clinton-Massiein the second round last season.

“We have a very good shot,”Higgins said. “We had a lot ofguys getting experience lastyear with getting into the sec-ond round of the playoffs. Withthe loss that we had, it gives usall a good bit of motivation tosay the least.

“We have a lot of returningstartersonoffenseandI’mreal-ly optimistic about our defense.I think we’re going to be one ofthe best in the Central. We havea very good lineup so far and alot to work with.”

Higgins is one of severalthree-year starters.

“I think there’s fiveofuswhohave started for three yearsnow and we all just work reallyhard at it,”Higgins said. “We allreally care about football andwe really care about the team.We’ve just kind of worked ourway up there.”

Higgins said he hopes to playcollege football next seasonwhile studying “something inthe businessworld.”Hehas hadconversations with schoolssuch as Dartmouth and David-son, and he visited Holy Crossthis summer.

AMELIA — This couldbe a special season forAmelia High School’sfootball program. TheBarons have a strong coreof experienced leadersand are enjoying a surgeof youth thanks to relaxedpay-for-play require-ments. Now, they justneed to translate thesepositives to positive out-comes on the field this

fall.West

Clermontschool dis-trict rolledback theathleticparticipa-tion feefrom $495per sport to

$250. Nearly twice asmany student-athletescame out for football thisseason compared to lastyear.

That allowed the Bar-ons to rebuild the fresh-man and junior varsityteams. Varsity depth willstill be a question markthis year, but should notbeasmuchof a concern inthe future.

This year’s varsitysquadwill be ledbyseniorquarterback Tyler Nico-demus.

He leads an offensesurrounded by his fellowclassmates. Seniors WadeHauser, Garrett Weaver,and Mason Blankenship

lead the wide receivers.Seniors T.J. Reed (tightend) and T.J. Troxell (full-back) are additional op-tions on offense.

“Our season dependson the performance of theseniors,” said head coachRandy Hospelhorn.

Junior Jacob Heltonand senior Kasey Nipperlead the offensive line.Thedefense is also senior-laden, ledbystrongsafetySean Stewart and line-back Carter Hounshell.Hounshell, one of thearea’s leading returning

tacklers, and junior JacobPangallo form a formida-ble duo at linebacker. Thetwo serve as team cap-tains and provide leader-ship on and off the field.

“They are both top-notch students, displayoutstanding character,

work ethics and lead byvoice as well as by exam-ple,” Hospelhorn said.

The bonds forged dur-ing recent lean years hasstrengthened the currentcrop of upperclassmen.Now, they hope to set astandard that the larger

classes below them canstrive to reachandexceedover the next few years.

“The strength of theteam is its ability to uniteas one,” said Hospelhorn.“They are a close-knitgroup on and off the field.They continually pushand encourage each otherto excel.”

With a talented core ofteam-first upperclass-men, expectations arehigh for the Barons in2014.

Staying healthy will becritical due to the lack ofdepth, but the pieces arein place for Amelia tohave one of its best sea-sons in recent memory.

The Barons open theseasononAug. 29vs.WestClermont rival Glen Este.

We’re back to normal,whatever normal is, aftercoming home from vaca-tion.

What a special time wehad spending time inGlenLake, Michigan, with twoof our kids andgrandkids,

then visit-ing our son,Joe, and hisfamily inboth Olym-pia, Wash-ington andBellevue,Nebraska.We did lotsof sight-seeing andgoodeating

in between, too.During our visit to

Olympia, Inge, Joe’s wife,mentioned that wildblackberries were ripe.The word “wild” grabbedme right away. “The ber-ries are organic andhuge,” Ingesaid.Wehead-ed out to her secret berrypatch and I couldn’t be-lievemy eyes, really. Big-ger than huge, ripe, sweetblackberries every-where!Check out the pho-to of Little Jaide, Inge andJoe’s granddaughter whohelpedpick, andyou’ll seewhat Inge meant.

We spent a fun daymaking thebest blackber-ry jam ever and broughtjars of it to granddaugh-ters Anna and Tulia in Ne-braska, plus I tuckedenough jars in our trunkto share with Cincinnatifamily and friends.

Homemade‘summer in a jar’blackberry jam

When thewinter windshowl and you open a jar ofthis jam, the aroma andmemories of a sunnysum-mer’s day will linger.

Measure accurately.For blackberry peachjam, substitute finelychopped, peeled peachesfor some of the blackber-ries - 2 cups will do it.

5 cups crushed black-berries,mashedwithpo-tatomasher

4 tablespoons lemonjuice

1 box (1.75 oz.) drypectin

7 cups sugar9 jelly jars (8 oz size)

with rings and lids, ster-ilized

I sterilize my jars byplacing in a pot of hot wa-ter, then bringing that to aboil andcontinue toboil15minutes. I then turn theheat off but leave the jarsin. For the rings and seals,don’t boil, just keep in hotwater. Now some folkslike to put the jars, etc.through the dishwasherand keep them hot.

Place berries, lemonjuice and pectin in verylarge pan over high heat,stirring constantly. Whenmixture comes to a fullboil, add sugar all at once,stirring constantly. Bringback to full hard boil, onethat cannot be stirreddown, again stirring con-stantly. Then time for 1minute. Remove fromheat and ladle into clean,hot jars, leaving1/4”head-space at top. Wipe rimswith clean, wet cloth.Place seal on top and se-cure with ring. Turn up-sidedown for 5minutes tokill any bacteria that maylinger on lid and to form avacuum seal. Turnupright. You’ll hear little“pings” as the jars cool.Press your finger in thecenter of the seal. Youshould not be able to pushthe center up & down ifthe seal is complete. If it’snot, just store those in the

frig. The others can bestored in thepantry forupto a year.

DEATHS

Howdy Folks,Iwas talking toaneigh-

borwhohaschickenswithtwo roosters. One of theroosters and one hen arealways together. The oth-er rooster jumped on the

lady. Theroosterwith thehenflogged theone thatjumped onher realgood. Nowthe ladycan goaround theflock and

the rooster will run theother way.

They called the bigrooster “BigJohn;” hegotsick and was layingaround.

The hen would stayclose to him and when hedied she quit eating.

The folks said shewould lay with him andtry to wake him up, thehen quit eating or drink-ing water and in a fewdays she died.

Ouranimals do seemto

have feelings for eachother.

We went to New Rich-mond last Sunday for aboat ride honoring JohnHale. That was a greatevent. The Kels Restau-rant in Bethel catered themeal, it was very good.The event in New Rich-mond was River Daysthey have been havinggood crowds. The build-ings along Front Streetwere beautiful, they keepthe town looking good.The bicentennial will benext month.

Inoticed theriverbankwas clean of brush andweeds. A feller told methey use goats to keep thebank clean. A fellerbrings about six or sevengoats down. They keepthem in a pen they canmove when they get thearea clean.

That was a good idea,this helps keep the bankclean and saves expensesfor hiring people to dothis.Weknowof folks thathave a big cage that theymove around to givechickens the opportunity

to keep thebugs andotheritems cleaned up.

The event to honorJohn was great, he does alot for several communi-ties. There were 105 peo-ple on the boat. We haveknown him for severalyears. He has sung at theOld Bethel M.E. Churchhere at East Fork. TheLord has given him abeautiful voice and he isusing it to praise theLord,God Bless from the OleFisherman and wife.
