The Springfield TownshipPolice Department struck goldas it earned its sixth reaccredi-tation from the Commission onAccreditation for Law Enforce-ment Agencies, Inc.
Springfield Township Trus-tee Joseph Honerlaw said thedepartment earned a perfectscore in its on-site assessmen-tand exceeded each of the CA-LEA Gold Standard require-ments, which earned the de-
partment Ac-creditation withExcellence.
KimberleeFlamm, pro-jects, events &communicationscoordinator forSpringfieldTownship, saidthe Award of Excellence is thehighest awardgivenbyCALEA.
The Springfield TownshipPolice Department is one ofonly12agencies inOhio thathasbeen recognized with the CA-LEA Award of Excellence. Of17,985 state and local law en-forcement agencies in the Unit-ed States, only 989 are CALEA
accredited. Only 73 depart-ments have acquired accredita-tion in Ohio.
The Springfield TownshipPoliceDepartment is staffed by53 personnel, including 46 fulland part-time sworn police offi-cers.As the third largest lawen-forcement agency in HamiltonCounty, the department oper-ates a full-service force.
Unlike smaller cities andmost townships in Ohio, Spring-field Township does not con-tract with the Hamilton CountySheriff’sOffice forservice.Thedepartment employs, promotesand trains top detectives, traf-fic patrol, drug enforcement,school resource officers and
K-9 officers.PoliceChiefDavidHeimpold
said his department takes pridenot only in being a law enforce-ment agency that has workedhard for the recognition, butalso in being an agency that hasearned the respect of its com-munity and the people it serves.
“This assures our residentsthat our organization operatesat topefficiencyandholds to thehighest levels of professionalstandards,” he said. “They aregetting the most for their taxdollars.”
Heimpold said the CALEAassessors do more than look atpaperwork. He says they rodewith officers, and talked with
officers and residents.In its 17-page report, the on-
site CALEA assessment teamwrote that the department usesa community policing approachwith a high priority placed onpro-active efforts with well-trained and well-equipped per-sonnel.
“The agency embraces thephilosophyofCommunityPolic-ing, focusing its attention onpartnerships with the commu-nities it serves,” the report said.
The CALEA report praisedthe department’s cooperativeprocess of identifying police/community priorities.

Hispassion for thecraft like-ly stems fromhis childhoodvis-its to his grandparents’ home.Kramer said he used to watchhis grandfather peck away onhis typewriter, and he lovedhearing the clack of the keysand the zip of thecarriage start-ing a new line.
The typewriter has been re-placed by thecomputer, but hispassion for writ-ing remains.

Students visit Spain, Africa
They are four people whohave shown extraordinary de-dication in serving the stu-dents of Winton Woods CitySchools, and their time and ef-fort were recognized at theMay board of education meet-ing with the presentation oftheExtraMileParentsAward.
Lorie Mercer, Tonya Jones,and Barb and Glenn Drees allhave their last childrengradu-ating this year from WintonWoodsHigh School, one of thecriteria for receiving theaward.
Mercer, whose daughterSabrina is this year’s salutato-rian, was honored by WintonWoods High School AthleticDirectorDwightCampbell forher impact on the girls’ soccerprogram.
“She has been a powerfulfundraising force during thetime her daughter has playedhere at Winton Woods,” saidCampbell. “She has organizedbaked goods and loaded bakedpotato sales, and she helps sellspirit wear. She has alwaysshown herself to be a greatsupport to the athletic depart-ment. We will truly miss theinnovative ideas thatMs.Mer-cer has brought to our fund-raising efforts.”
Campbell said that duringhis time as athletic director,he’s had the pleasure of work-ing beside Tonya Jones onmany occasions.
“She is a quiet, but very ac-tive, parent supporter,” hesaid. “She is eager to volun-teer and support her daugh-ter's many extra-curricularactivities. I can only hope thatWintonWoods will continue toinherit other parents as sup-
portive and energetic as Ms.Jones.”
Fine Arts Facilitator andChoirDirectorDavidBell alsocommented on Jones’s count-less hours of volunteer work.
“Not only does Tonya giveselflessly, but she always issuchapleasantperson toworkwith,” he said. “Her smilelightsuparoomandmakesthetask lighter for all involved.”
Bell said the Drees familyhas been active in the districtin a variety of ways.
“Asamemberof theGreen-hills Village Council, GlennDrees served on the WintonWoods Facilities Commissionand spearheaded the action ofthe Greenhills Council to pub-licly recognize the WintonWoodschoirprogramfor theirsuccess at the 2012 WorldChoir Games,” Bell said.
Barb Drees, who hasserved as president of theFriends of the Theater parentgroup for the last three years,was commended for workinghard to keep that organizationalive in recent years.
“As a volunteer for theFriends of the Theater she or-ganizedmeals for thestudentsduring the final weeks of re-hearsals, sold program adver-tisements, organized artworkfor the programs and posters,oversaw the printing of theposters and program covers,and organized the posting ofthe posters, just to name a fewthings,” said Bell.
He added that she has hadan integral part of helping toestablish nonprofit incorpora-tion for the newWintonWoodsPerforming Arts organiza-tion.

As I’ve mentionedbefore, I know when arecipe hits a chord withreaders by the amount ofresponse it generateslong after it’s published.This is particularly trueof seasonal recipes, likeroasted tomatoes.
This recipe isslightly differentfrom one I sharedlast year. Toma-toes are in seasonright now and thehomegrown/bestare abundant atfarmers’ markets.
As for me, mytomatoes are thebest I’ve evergrown and sincemost of them are theindeterminate type, theykeep bearing all seasonlong. I’m not even be-grudging the groundhogseating their share, there’sthat many! When I dofind veggies and fruitthat have been bitten intobyMother Nature’s clan,I just cut them up andfeed them to my girls(my chickens). Theymake a quick meal ofthem,
Tomatoes are full oflycopene, which is goodfor our hearts, men’sprostates and our im-mune system. Plus theyellow and orange toma-toes have just as muchnutrition as their redcounterparts.
Roasted regular-sizetomatoes withherbs (or not)
Preheat oven to 400-425 degrees. Cut toma-toes in half. Lay eithercut side up or down (Ilaid mine cut side down
but next time will laythem cut side up since Ithink that will keep moreof the tomato flavor in).Drizzle with olive oil andsprinkle on any herbsyou like – basil, thyme,rosemary all work well.But be sure and chop
them up fine. I alsolike to add salt andpepper. Roast untilskins start to lookspotty if you areroasting skin sideup. Otherwise,roast until toma-toes look wrinkledand are soft.
Let cool and, ifyou like, removeskins. The first
time I made them I didn’tremove the skins, butwhen I used them incooked dishes they werea little tough. My sugges-tion is to remove them orput them in the blenderor food processor and theskins will process smallenough. You will wind upwith more of a puree ifyou put them through theblender or food proces-sor, but the bonus is youget the nutritious bene-fits of the skin. Freeze indesired quantities.
Roasted cherrytomatoes withherbs and garlic
This is nice since ev-erything is mixed in aboil and then just pouredonto a sprayed pan toroast. Delicious as a sidedish and, if you want tofreeze them, you caneither leave the skins on(they may be a bit tough)or puree them as direct-ed above. Now you canalso roast these plain,
with just a sprinkling ofsalt and pepper and oil.
Preheat oven to 400-425 degrees. For everypint of cherry or grapetomatoes, add a teaspoonof minced garlic, a driz-zle of olive oil to coatnicely, and salt and pep-per. Just mix this up in abowl. If you have anyherbs, again like basil,thyme or rosemary, chopup fine and add to taste.Pour onto sprayed bakingpan and roast until skinslook spotty and a bitpuffy, about 20 minutes.
Baked potatonachos with secretingredient
For Bart L., who likesthis spicy appetizer atrestaurants but wants tomake them at home. Byboiling potatoes first,they bake up really nicein the oven. And the se-cret ingredient thatmakes these so differ-ent? Ranch dressing!
10medium red or Yukongold potatoes
1 pouch ranch salad dressing
Jalapeño slices (optional)16 oz. shreddedMexicanblend or favorite cheese
16 oz. sour creamGreen onions or chives,sliced thin
Cook potatoes withskin on: cover with coldwater and a dash of salt.Bring to boil, reduceheat, cover and cook justuntil tender, about 15minutes. Drain and coolso that you can cut theminto thick slices. Preheatoven to 375 degrees.
Put slices in single
layer on sprayed bakingsheets. Sprinkle eachwith the dressing mix,jalapeños, and thecheeses. Bake uncoveredfor 8-10 minutes or untilcheese melts. Dollop withsour cream and onions orchives.

Aug. 14 questionShould U.S. lawmakers and their
staffs continue to receive a federalcontribution toward the health in-surance that they must purchasethrough soon-to-open exchangescreated by President Barack Oba-ma’s signature healthcare law toprevent the largely unintended lossof healthcare benefits for 535 mem-bers of the Senate andHouseof Rep-resentatives and thousands of Capi-tol Hill staff. Why or why not?
“Yes.Everyonescheduled tore-ceive a contribution from employ-ers should still receive that contri-bution, no matter for whom theywork.
“If the conservatives and Oba-ma-haters would just give it achance they'd see all the good thatthe Affordable Care Act can ac-complish instead of trying to re-peal it 40 more times in Congress.
“It's meant to help the poor anduninsured just like the New Dealback 70-odd years ago during theGreat Depression."
TRog
“Although it would be nice ifmaking lawmakers pay for theirown health care would bring theirattention to the plight of mostAmericans, the cost of their per-sonal insurance is chump changecompared to the campaign contri-butions they get from the specialinterests in the medical field.
“Since Citizen's United it's afree-for-all for rich individualsand corporations. The only thingholding some of the worst of themback is the sheer impracticality ofmost of their ideas.
“What would work better is ifmore citizen voters would paymore attention to how some ofthese creeps in Columbus andWashington vote, and give themunlimitedvacation timeat thenextelection.
“Unfortunately with the mediabreaking into venues, which allowpeople toget thenews theywantasopposed to the news that is actual-ly true, we're going to have an up-hill battle getting any sort of con-sensus on public health in our na-tion.
“Fortunately, the AffordableCare Act is already cutting costsfor many of us, and even if itdoesn't solve the bigger problemsit will set the stage for continueddialogue.”
N.F.
“The 535 members of Congress(and their staffs) shouldbesubjectto exactly the same regulationsand laws as other American Citi-zens. They should contribute totheir health care as the generalpublic does. They should also payinto Social Security (FICA). Thereshouldnotbeanyretirementbene-fits above Social Security unlessthey have served 30 years. Betteryet have term limits and forcethem to get real jobs. Too oftenthesemakers of the lawneverhelda real job and are ‘above the law.’Theypass laws that apply to all ex-cept them. Go figure!"
T.D.T.
“Kind of a moot question. TheCongress will do whatever is bestfor them and not what is best forthe American people. Period.”
J.Z.
“The Democrats yes, the Re-publicans no! Seriously, whetherits health care or retirement, gov-ernment should not be allowed tovote its own members and staffbetter benefits than those avail-able to the rest of the population.
“A single term in congressshouldn't entitle you to anything
more than Cobra benefits whileyou look for new employment. Ifexmembers of government had tosurvive on Medicare or MedicaidandSocial Security thosewould begood programs, and yes, we allmight have to contribute a bitmore to ensure their long-term fu-ture.”
D.R.
“If these people are already re-ceiving a contribution from thegovernment (their employer) itshouldcontinue. If thismeans theywill not have to get Obama-carelike the rest ofus – shameon them!
“We should all be in this boat to-gether. That way if and when itstarts to sink they'll have an incen-tive to fix or replace it.”
R.V.
“Of course not! But this rodeoclown has set a new standard ofpicking winners and losers for po-litical reasons, paybacks for con-tributors and favors to his base.
“Large corporations, unionsand the IRS and now lawmakersare getting special exemptionsfrom this disasterous law. Mosthard working Americans are notsurprisedbyagoodscrewingfromthe federal government, but un-fairness to this degree creates tre-mendous anger and animosity.
“When is the last time you said:'Wow, this will be great' when youheard of a new law or governmentprogram??”
D.J.H.
Aug. 7 questionShould the minimum wage for
fast-food workers be doubled from$7.25 to $15 anhour and should theybe given the right to unionize? Whyor why not?
“Raising theminimumwageforanyone is a stupid idea. If weraised the minimum wage, whatwould happen to the price of ev-erything these workers produceor the services theyprovide?Theywould go higher, of course, by thesame proportion of the wage in-crease. Then, those of uswhodon’tmake minimum wage will see ourcosts increase so we would need aproportionate wage increase tokeep from falling behind. Priceswouldcontinue to increase leadingto a loss of jobs through outsourc-ing because the costs of produc-tion in theU.S. is toohigh.Thoseonfixed incomes would find it in-creasingly difficult to make endsmeetwhichwouldmean the end oftheir independence.”
David Greschel
“I’m no economist but some-thing needs to change. Incomedis-parity is a real and growing prob-lem. I don’t think it’s fair that theowners of many large corpora-tions make exorbitant amounts ofmoneywhile paying theirworkersso little, leaving taxpayers to fillthe income gap, with Medicaid,food stamps, etc. As with manyother big institutions, unions arefar from perfect, but historicallythey have helped level the playingfield and promote the growth ofthen middle class.”

NEXT QUESTIONShould the U.S. continue to providefinancial and military aid to Egyptfollowing the military's overthrowof its democratically elected gov-ernment and it's deadly attack onprotestors?
Every week we ask readers a question theycan reply to via e-mail. Send your answersto [email protected] withChatroom in the subject line.
Resident input vital to processWith some dismay I noted the rolling
back of the Ohio Sunshine Law (Aug 13,“Economic development moves into shadeof Sunshine Law”.)
The title of the article is apt: backroomdealings may turn into shady dealings ifnot held to the light of public accountabil-ity. Public participation is recognized as afundamental principle of democracy,which our lawmakers who enacted theSunshine Law recognized and wished toprotect.
In these economically hard times forsmall municipalities, much of what ourlocal governments do can fall into the cate-gory of economic development, and thisnew rule expanding the use of the closed-door, secret meetings known as executivesessions may be easily overused. How arewe to even know whether it's overused,when the citizen may not make a public
records request to learn what is discussedin the executive session?
Those who support the revision assertthat this will lead to more successful nego-tiations and new opportunities, yet theirony is that the best development happensnot through government deals but via citi-zen-driven initiatives. Look at the businessdistrict changes blossoming in CollegeHill. And take Madisonville, for a shiningexample. These neighborhoods are on themove, undertaking exciting new redevel-opment work, because of the work of en-gaged and motivated residents.
Municipalities seeking to build or re-build their neighborhoods will be moresuccessful, not less, when the residents areseen as stakeholders, see themselves asinvested in the process, and not shut out bytheir own elected officials.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
I love learning the history of a congre-gation. Since 2010, I have enjoyed gettingto knowHope Lutheran Church and shar-ing the Hope story.
Hope has been in Colerain Townshipsince the mid-1950s. That was thetime when many churchesemerged as part of the post-WorldWar II growth and populationexpansion. Hope’s first pastor,Rev. Clovis Frank, called on resi-dents of the area to the firstchurch meeting held in the MountAiry Civic Association Building,Sept. 19, 1954, and 24 people at-tended. By 1956 there were morethan 90 baptized members.
After purchasing a house for aparsonage on Colerain Avenue, abuilding committee targeted 6831ColerainAve. Hope’s first church building wasmore like a “church home” for many fam-ilies. Over the years, Hope has been de-scribed as a people-friendly church: lovingthe Lord, community service, and offeringuplifting music for worship.
But the 1950s mission building was nothelping Hope grow. The church was hardto see from the road. It had a slew of waterproblems; and neighboring businesseswere getting a little loud, especially when acar wash moved in next door.
So in the 1990s the congregation of Hopebegan to look for a new location in the Col-erain Township. Rev. Cathleen Thompsonled the congregation in our relocation tocorner of Blue Rock Road and Livingston.There were many challenges for this boldmove: there was a lot money to raise, aswell as surviving a year of temporary wor-ship in a local Masonic Lodge.
But the people of Hope were convincedbuilding a new church would be worth it.
The construction started well, until Hopewas informed the soil needed to be “com-pacted.” Preparing the soil was a majorunexpected expense, so the FellowshipHall was reduced in size.
Nevertheless, upon completingthe project, everyone was gratefulfor the wonderful new space. Thefirst worship service in the BlueRock church was held ChristmasEve, 1998.
The congregation has alwaysknown “Hope” is not just bricks andmortar. Hope rises with faith. Since1998, our church family has beensteadily growing with folks from allwalks of life.
In the fall of 2005, Hope wel-comed Precious Years Learning
Center. Having a Christian-based daycareand after school program expanded Hope’sministry. The school has been a blessing,but the smaller Fellowship Hall and class-rooms have made things very cramped.
After a year of prayer and discernment,the congregation voted to raise funds foran expansion of our current FellowshipHall and the Christian Education Wing.
The theme has been: “Making Room forMoreMinistry.” An inspirational kick-offdinner in June featured Dan Lozier asguest speaker. As a father, educator, and aman of faith, Dan reminded us: God ex-pands people. Taking that message toheart, God helped us exceeded our fundraising goal. It reminds us God can doanything!
We are once again building hope, serv-ing God.
The Rev. Lisa Arrington is the pastor of HopeLutheran Church, 4695 Blue Rock Road at thecorner of Blue Rock and Livingston roads.
The new Hope Lutheran Church building at 4695 Blue Rock Road had its first service ChristmasEve, 1998.

MOUNT HEALTHY — Comingoff a 9-2 season and capturingthe inaugural Southwest OhioConference championship, theMount Healthy Owls are hun-gry for more in 2013.
Despite graduating six start-ers on defense and five on of-fense, coach Arvie Crouch be-lieves in reloading, not rebuild-ing.
“I think we’vegot a goodenough programright now wherewe can just fitsome people in,”he said. “Obvi-ously losing sen-iors is tough be-cause you losethat experience,
but we also have some youngguys that areprettyeager togetin there and get it done.”
One of those young guys issophomoreDavidMontgomery.While he only touched the ball27 times last season, he madethe most of those touches aver-aging eight yards per carry andcrossing the goal line six times.Montgomery is expected to seetime all over the field at quar-terback, running back andwidereceiver.
Maybe the most notable re-turner for theOwls is seniorTy-ree Elliott. The quarterback/running back earned SWOCCo-Athlete of the Year honors de-
spite only playing in sevengames due to a torn ACL, whichhe suffered in the eighth gameof the season at Wilmington.While on the field he was superproductive, racking up morethan 1,100 yards on the groundand averaging nearly 11 yardsper carry.
“Tyree is back,” Crouch said.“…He’ll be all over the place.…He’s actually throwing the ballpretty well at this time in theyear. I am just so impressedwith his work ethic and his atti-tude.”
Speed is a constant with theOwls and senior Havier Pittsdoesn’t lack in that category.Crouchreferred tohimasbeing“dynamite” this year at multi-ple positions.
“We keep it simple, but weare going to try and take advan-tage of our speed,” Crouch said,who is in his fifth season with
the Owls. “That is our key.”Creating space for that
speed will be the offensive line,or the“Fatbacks,”as they like to
be called. The combination ofKeeryon Deal, Joe Townsend,Will Moore, Eric Finnell, Ste-vozz Foster, Zack Kerber,Courtnie Hyatt and Justin Hen-ry will look to back up theirnickname.
The defense, like it has beenin the past, is led by the Lackeybrothers, Jordan and Justin.Theduo combined for 6.5 sacks,five forced fumbles and fourfumble recoveries.
“…We always said we aren’tgoing to have many problemswhen they become seniors andright now they are doing prettygood,” Crouch said. “They are alot stronger, a lot thicker, butthey still have the samemental-ity. They just run to the ball andthey are just a great energy toour team.”

SPRINGFIELD TWP. — De-fenses better be prepared forthe bevy of offensive weaponsthe St. Xavier Bombers are go-ing to bring to the field in 2013.
Senior quarterback NickTensing returns after throwingfor nearly 2,000 yards and 17touchdowns to just six intercep-tions. Coach Steve Specht notonly loveswhat his quarterback
can do on thefield, but alsowhat he brings tothe huddle.
“(I’ve seen)tremendousgrowth as far asleadership iscon-cerned,” Spechtsaid. “… He’sable to do things
that we wouldn’t be able to dowith anybody else. He’s reallytaken to the leadership role.”
Tensing is one of four teamcaptains along with runningback C.J. Hilliard, left tackleRich Kurz and the versatileRyan Frey.
Hilliard torched defensesfor nearly five yards per carryand nine touchdowns in 2012.After hitting theweight room inthe offseason, defenses shouldexpect to see more of the bigback this season.
“… C.J. is practicing harderthan I’ve ever seen,” Spechtsaid. “He finally learned how topractice.He’s at a different lev-el than he’s been the previousthree years, but that’s how it’s
supposed to be when you’re go-ing into your senior year.”
For the Tensing-Hilliardfreight train to roll down hill, arebuilt offensive line is going tohave to come together. Kurz isthe lone returner and the rest ofthe starters are still to be deter-mined, according to Specht.
The defense is led by juniorlinebacker Justin Hilliard, whois one of the most recruitedplayers in the state of Ohiowithmore than 20 offers frommajorDivision I colleges.
“… He is a different playerand he’s as advertised,” Specht
said. “There’s a reason he’s get-ting all these college scholar-ship offers. I think Justin hasthe chance to be as good as any-body we’ve ever had on the de-fensive side of the ball andthat’s high praise coming fromme.”
While the Bombers lose fourof their five starters in the de-fensive secondary, they returnsix of their starting seven upfront at linebacker and defen-sive line.
Frey will hold down the cor-nerback position and see timeon the offensive side of the ball,
while Nick Carovillano willmove from the defensive line tomore of a hybrid outside line-backer.
The Bombers begin the sea-son ranked No. 24 in the nationbyRivals.comand, according toMaxPreps, have the10th-tough-est schedule in the country.
Outside of playing theirleague games in the GreaterCatholic League South, theBombers take on Colerain,Cleveland St. Ignatius, WarrenCentral (Indianapolis), Brent-wood Academy (Tenn.) and BenDavis (Indianapolis).

FORESTPARK—The stars arealigned for another successfulfootball seasonatWintonWoodsHigh School.
When it comes to the de-fense, it could be state champi-onship good according to coachAndre Parker.
UniversityofKentuckycom-mit Mike Edwards headlines alistofmajor impactplayers thatare back in 2013.
Including Edwards, theWar-riors return their top five lead-ing tacklers from a year ago.
Aaron Smith, Daniel Cage,Adrian Rankin and David Longcombined for 15 sacks, led byRankin’s five and a half. Ed-wards led the teamwith56 tack-les, three interceptions and twofumble recoveries.
“… The other day wewatched film from the statechampionship game and thereare a few differences,” Parkersaid. “The state championshipyear we may have been a littledeeper, but talent wise we mayhave more talent now than wedid then. We’ll see if those guyscan come together and play as aunit.”
The unit in question is the of-fensive line. The potential isthere but the experience is not.
Darius Thomas, who startedas a freshman, is back for hissophomore campaign after sur-prising his head coach last sea-son.
“Last year I didn’t think he’dbe able to finish the year,” Park-er said. “But he ended up beinga leader for us.”
Artez Phoenix has some ex-perience after starting every
game as a sophomore, but suf-fered a broken ankle before the2012 season, causing him tomiss the entire year.
George Brown and NoahListerman – who is 6-foot-6 and285 pounds - round-out the lineand both are just beginningtheir respective football ca-reers with at most two years ofexperience on the field.
“There is a lot ofgrowth tobemade,” Parker said. “There is atonofpotential,but therewillbea learning curve and there willbe some bumps in the road.”
TheWarriors will have to re-place more than 1,200 rushingyardswith the loss of TylerGistand Nick Grissom.
Parkerwill try to fill the void
with twin brothers Christianand Chaz Lumpkin, who bothstartedgames last season indif-ferent situations. Junior ToshFerguson will also see time inthe backfield.
The one constant is quarter-back ShemarHooks. The senioris back for his second year un-der center after rushing for 648yards and throwing for 469. Heled the Warriors with 13 touch-downs.
“I haven’t see it in a game,but I’ve seen tremendousgrowth (fromShemar),” Parkersaid. “I’mveryexcitedabouthisleadership. Any time you comeoff ayearwhereyoustart everygameandyougrow,youhavenochoice but to get better.”

MONFORT HEIGHTS — A neweraof football isunderwayatLaSalle High School.
After Tom Grippa steppeddown to take over as assistantcoach and offensive coordina-tor at the College of Mount St.Joseph, Nate Moore takes overa Lancer program that has ex-perienced just one losing sea-son over the past four years.
Moore – who was most re-cently at Minster High School –doesn’t really concern himselfwith the recent past at La Salle.
“When you are the new guy Ithink you have to throw a coldbucket ofwater on everything,”the coach said. “You can’t beworried about hurting some-body’s feelings or how thingsweredone in thepast.Yougot tocome in and establish your ex-pectations and how things aregoing to be run under your pro-gram.”
For Moore to keep up thewinning tradition at La Salle, hewill need to get the ball in thehands of wide receiver DerekKief, who hauled in 65 recep-tions for a Greater CatholicLeague South leading 907 yardswith nine touchdowns.
Who will throw the ball toKief? That is still to be deter-mined.
Drew Crispin, Eric GreeneandNickWatson are all battlingfor the the starting spot.Watsonwould seem to be the front run-ner after tossing for 510 yardson 85 attempts last season as afreshman.
No matter the quarterback,
his protection upfront on the of-fensive line is seasoned and allstarts with senior center JoeKemme.
“Everything starts upfrontandinthemiddle, so tohavethatone position (center) that youknow you don’t have to worryabout is certainly a calming ef-fect on the coaches,” Mooresaid.”
Joining Kemme is sopho-more Luke Doeger and juniorBrandon Lester.
Defensively, Jordan Thomp-son and R.J. Goodwin have thedefensive tackle position onlockdown, while Will PowersandQuinnHerbertwillman theend positions.
“We have good players, butwe have really, really goodkids,” Moore said. “They arecoachable. You ask them to dosomething and they do it.

FINNEYTOWN — No coachever wants to go through a 1-9season like the FinneytownWildcats did in 2012, but coachDarryn Chenault believes itmade his 2013 squad stronger.
After suspensions and somekids moving out of the districtlast season, the young and inex-perienced group from 2012 allof a sudden has become a veter-an team in 2013.
“These guyswere able to playtogether for sev-en games and ac-tually gel togeth-er and come to-gether (last sea-son),” Chenaultsaid. “… Theyare playing forone another, they
definitely don’twant to have an-other 1-9 season this year andalso we have the luxury of justhaving good leadership.”
That leadership all starts atquarterback with two-yearstarter Brad Steimle, whothrew for 861 yards and rushedfor another173.While he knowsthe offense, things may be a lit-tle different this season for thesenior.
“Brad looks awesome,” thecoach said. “He’s a little bit tall-er, he got a littlemoreweight onhimandwe are going to put himup under center, roll him outand let himhand it off a little bitversus being in the shotgun likewe were last season.”
He’ll be handing it off to ju-nior Dante Goodwin, who willbe the leadbackoutofarunning
back by committee system.Goodwin led the Wildcats with585 yards on the ground andthree touchdowns.
“He’s the man,” Chenaultsaid of his back. “He’s real shif-ty, has good vision and he’s justan explosive player. He’s one ofthose guys that in three steps isat full speed. … I’m definitelyexcited to watch him carry theball and seewhat he can dowithit.”
One guy to watch is seniorBally Butler. He is making the
move to wide receiver and willalso start at cornerback for theWildcats. Chenault likes whathe’s seeing from Butler.
“So far he’s beendoing an ex-ceptional job,”hesaid. “Herunsroutesgreat andhedoesn’t dropany balls.”
Another player to keep youreye on is Daniel Swanson. Thelinebacker/fullback recentlymoved to Cincinnati from Mis-sissippi and so far Chenaultlikes what he sees.
“He’s going to be a great ad-dition to what we do,” he said.“This kid is built like a house.The football gods have beengood to me this year.”

ST. BERNARD — All thingspoint to a major turnaround forthe Roger Bacon Spartans in2013.
After a 0-10 2012 season,coach Kevin Huxel likes whathe’s seeing so far.
“We can do a lot,” the coachsaid.“I thinkwehaveachancetobe really productive and be ableto move the ball. Everybody issaying that this time of year, butoptimismishighatRogerBaconright now.”
Much of the optimism is dueto the return of quarterbackRuggiero DeLuca, who tossedfor more than 1,300 yards lastseason.
“Hekeptgettingbetter as theyear went on,” Huxel said. “…He can make the throws. He’llmake all the throws necessarythis season.”
Running back Eli Nixon isalso back after rushing for ateam-high 527 yards in his firstyear at the position.
With a full yearunderhis beltat the position Huxel believeshe’s ready for a big year.
“… This year he’s under-standing the holes and where tocut and how to get to the line-men’s feet,” he said. “He’s notjust running, but he’s doing a lotmore things and understandinghow to run the ball.”
You can’t succeed at eitherposition without an offensiveline.Fourof the five linemenareback from last year and one ofthem, Sam Brown, has the abil-ity to be special, according toHuxel.
“He’ll be getting some looksfrom the big (colleges). He’s a
big kid and when he puts hismind to it, he can be the bestplayer on the field. There’s nodoubt about it.”
AlsobackonthelineareRyanBarnes and Paul Tepe. MaxBishop is back, but will miss a“couple” games due to knee sur-gery, according to the coach.
On defense the Spartans re-turn their top seven leadingtacklers from last season.
While that excites Huxel, theadditionofReadingtransferandlinebacker George Nicholas hasthe coach really liking what hesees.
“It helps a lot,” he said of the
transfer. “… That’s going to addanother dimension. He brings amore physical presence to us.We are looking at good things.”
Freshman Amir Reed is an-other addition in a secondarythat returns Slaton Brummett,John Byrd, Andrew Hawkinsand Nixon.

NORTHCOLLEGEHILL—Find-ingreplacementsforgraduatingseniors is never easy.
When they account for morethan 2,600yards of total offense,it’s nearly impossible.
That’s the challenge in frontof theNorthCollegeHillTrojansand coach Bruce Baarendse intrying to replace quarterbackRamir Hollis and running backTevin Brown.
At 5-foot-10, senior MikelWinkfieldwill take over at quar-terback. He attempted just onepass in 2012.
“He’s doing fine,” Baarendsesaid.“He’sbeenplayingquarter-back all his life so he knows howto handle the position. He’s avery intelligent player.”
Winkfield will also start atsafety for the Trojans.
Sophomore JuJuanLinzywillgive Baarendse big-play poten-tial at the running-back andwide-receiver spots. As a fresh-man he hauled in seven catchesfor 136 yards, but only touchedtheballonceoutofthebackfield.
What should help the newguys on offense is an experi-enced offensive line. MichaelHarris, Josh Gordon, JaymereBankhead and Connar Wilson –all of whom are seniors and re-turning starters – will look tocreate space for Winkfield andLinzy.
“Theygiveusaprettyexperi-enced offensive line,” Baa-rendsesaid.“Theywillbeable tomake things a little easier for(the quarterback and runningback) because they know whatthey are doing.”
TheTrojanswillrunoutasec-ondary full of size. JoiningLinzy
at cornerback is 5-foot-11 juniorBenny Lovette and 6-foot-1 sen-iorBryshawnBrownat the safe-ty position.
Junior KiowaWhaley is backat linebacker alongsideWilson.
The loss of Kris Banks on de-fense and Sean Steele on the of-fensive side of the ball will hurtthe Trojans this season. Steeletransferred to another school,while Banks will not play his ju-nior season after racking up 9.5sacks and three forced fumblesas a sophomore.

WESTWOOD — Tennessee Ti-tans running back Chris John-sonmayhaveachallengerwhenit comes to his 40-yard dashtime.
Gamble Montessori seniorrunning back Javontae Lip-scomb – whom coach StanWestclocked at a “legitimate” 4.3seconds running the 40 – is backafter rushing for nearly 1,200yards last season. TheGator av-eraged more than 21 yards perkick returnand totaled11touch-downs.
“He’s a game-changer,”Westsaid. “He worked out a lot moreand is taking it serious this year.… He’s carrying the team rightnow.”
Lipscomb will also start atcorner for the Gators, who runoutmostof theirplayersonbothsides of the ball due to lownum-bers. He finished with 14 tack-les, one fumble recovery andone interception in 2012.
TimAndrews isbackatquar-terback after starting the firsttwo games of the season lastyearandseeing limited time therest of the year. He made themostofhisplaying time, tossingfor 222 yards and two scores onthe season. West likes what he’sseen thus far from his junior.
“He’s looking pretty good,”the coach said. “He has a great7-on-7 over the summer and helooked good.”
KennyMil and Devonte Car-gile, along with Lipscomb, willbeAndrews’main targets at thereceiver position.
Upfronton theoffensive linethe Gators lost a lot. JuniorsJustin League and K.J. Evansare back, butWest still needs tofill the two tackle positions and
one guard spot.“Skill-wiseweshouldbefine,
but the offensive line needs tocome together,” he said.
The defense will revolvearound the secondary, led by ju-nior safety Aaron Abernathy.
“He put on around 15 poundsof muscle and he’s just a beastright now,” West said. “He’s thestaple of our defense rightnow.”
Joining Abernathy in the de-fensive backfield are Lip-scomb, Cargile and senior JeffDeJanette.
One guy to keep your eye on
is Anthony Lipscomb, the littlebrother of Javontae.
“Right now I couldput himat
any skill position,” West said.“He’s rawso I canmoldhim intowhat we need right now.”

COLLEGE HILL — Winshaven’t been easy to come byfor the Aiken High School foot-ball team the past couple of sea-sons.
The Falcons went 0-10 lastyearandareona12-game losingstreak that dates back to 2011.
Head coach Guy Westmore-land, who is beginning his thirdyear as head coach, has over-seen a program and school intransition since taking over thecoaching reigns.
A new era was ushered in atAikenAug. 21, as theFalcons re-turned to a new school built inCollege Hill.
While students waited tomove into their new building,they attended a temporaryspace on Baltimore Avenue thepast two years.
During that time, enrollmentsuffered as just 41 studentswere in last year’s freshmanclass, according to Westmore-land.
The football team’s rosterwas even leaner, as just 18 stu-dent-athletes took to the grid-iron last season.
But with a new year and newhome, Westmoreland is hopefulthings are about to change.
The Falcons are in their newschool, andenrollment isup,butparticipation in football hasn’tseen much of a boost yet, witharound 20 kids coming out reg-ularly this summer.
Westmoreland is hopeful hisroster will grow when summerbreak ends and kids get backinto the classroom.
While things have been leanthe past couple seasons, there’sa positive attitudewith those in-vested in the program, accord-ing to Westmoreland.
“I think we’re about a yearway to really being back wherewe ought to be competitive,
numbers wise,” he said. “We”llstart to pick it up after this sea-son.”
As for the current campaign,the Falcons will field a youngteam with several freshmenandsophomoresplayingsignifi-cant time.
On offense, Westmorelandwill have junior Alejandro Bol-er back at wide receiver. Bolerreceived Second-Team All-CMACacclaim for his efforts in2012.
A small roster pressed Bolerinto playing both offense anddefense last season, and West-moreland is looking forward to
maximizing Boler’s talents onone side of the ball this fall.
At quarterback, sophomoreSamonte Griffin will take thesnaps under center.
Griffin has grown in sizesincehis freshmanyear, andhistechnique is also better, accord-ing to Westmoreland.
On defense, sophomore Jar-vis Terry will look to build off aseason in which he nabbed All-CMAC Honorable Mention as afreshman.
Terry brings a energetic atti-tude to the field and resume hisroles at the defensive end/line-backer positions.
“I always love Jarvis’ atti-tude,” Westmoreland said.“He’s a tough kid and he doesn’tlike the word no.”
As Aiken and Westmorelandtry to get things moving in theright direction, the head coachis hopeful the community takesnotice.
From the student body, to
fans, to alumni, Westmorelandwants people to get excitedabout Aiken.
He’llbe thefirst toadmit thatwinningcancreatea lotof inter-est, but there’s more to it thanthat.
“We’d like for everybody tobe interested and excited andrestore some pride and a senseof community…We’re back (inCollege Hill) now...We can takecare of that with winning, butthere’s other things I want us todo..”
Aiken kicks off the season atWyoming Aug. 30.
The Falcons will play homegamesatStargelStadiumonthecampus of Taft High School. Ai-ken’s new school is equippedwithafootball field,but theven-ue is not yet ready to host varsi-ty games.
