Raabe, who has worked atthe township since 2010, hasbeen on paid leave for the pastmonth.

Law Director Doug Millersaid hewanted to dispel rumorsabout the situation, adding that

both Raabe and the townshipagreed that “a separation is inorder.”

He added that no grievancehas been filed against him andhe’s not under investigation.

“This is simply a matter of adifference of opinion of wherethe township is going,” he said.

The Board of Trustees votedAug. 15 to allow Board Presi-dent Tom Weidman to work outa compensation package forRaabe’s departure.

Miller added thatwhen thosedetails are worked out it will be

MADEIRA—Ashtreesarebe-ing removed throughout Ma-deirabecause theyare infectedby emerald ash borers and oneresident is hoping to do some-thing about it.

“When I first moved to Ma-deira there were crabapples infront yards and ash trees,” saidPatsy Holmes of GreenbriarAvenue. “Now when you godown my street there are a lotof yardswhere there used to beash trees that were not re-placed.”

Emerald ash borers go un-der the tree bark and kill thetree quickly.

The trees have to be re-moved, said CityManager TomMoeller, because they arequickly dying and present asafety hazard.

“It’s an unfortunate situa-tion and we’re losing 100 to 150trees in the public right ofway,” Moeller said. “Trees addcharacter to Madeira.”

The city cut down 15 treeslast year, and Moeller esti-mates 30 will be removed thisyear.

Thus far, Moeller said treat-

ments for the borer infestationare only marginally effective.

Holmes is hoping her fellowresidents will start a tree com-mission through Madeira CityCouncil to raise fundsandplantnew trees, but creating a com-mission isn’t a short or simpleprocess.

“A commission would haveto be created by legislation ofcouncil,” Moeller said.

“Council would have tomakeappointments to the com-mission and write guidelinesand bylaws.”

Thecity,Moellersaid,hasn’tdiscussed a tree commissionpreviously, but if one wasformed it would be funded viaassessment to residents basedon the square footage in thefront of properties.

Holmes has a pine tree inher front yard and said the lackof trees is aboutmore than aes-thetics.

“Not only is it unsightly butthere’s a lack of shade and Ithink property value goesdown,” she said.

Theconstructionproject onKenwood Road continues, butwith added expenses.

Superintendent Tracy Kel-lums said that all the utilitieshave been put underground,except for the section thatconnects to the Burger Kingon Kenwood Road. Sidewalkand curb work is also finishedon the east side of the road, soconstruction on the west sidewill begin and take about amonth.Asa result, traffic flowthat was previously moved toaccommodate the work on theeast side will shift, he added.

A few unexpected costshave come up. Sycamore

Township’sBoard of Trust-ees approvedchange ordersfor $1,600 tomove some traf-fic pull boxes,$17,000 to de-molish and re-place a dump-

ster enclosure on BurgerKing’s property to put powerlines underground, as well as$11,000 to buy and install threeheavy-duty pull boxes thetownship wasn’t aware itwould need.

With the changes, Kellumssaid the project should stillfinish up by the projected Oct.31 end date.

The fire department also

closed its bidding process tosell a 2001 Seagrave rescuetruck the township designatedas surplus. Fire Chief PerryGerome said at a previoustrustees’ meeting that thetruckhasn’t beenused in threeyears and there’s no space forit anymore.

Sycamore received twobids, one from a fire equip-ment broker for $55,000 andanother from theWorthingtonFire Department for $205,000.Worthington’s bid was accept-ed to sell the truck, and the de-partment picked it up on Aug.15.

The construction man-ager of the still-unfin-ished Kenwood TownePlace development wasindicted on federal fraudchargesThursday relatedto his work on the trou-bled project.

Aubrey “Audie” Tar-pley was accused of de-ceiving lenders and help-ing to divert money in-tended for KenwoodTowne Place to other dis-tressed projects.

Tarpley, who facesmore than 20 years inprison if he’s convicted, isthe third person associat-ed with the retail and of-fice complex to face fed-

eral charges.Matt Daniels, manag-

ing director of project de-veloper Bear Creek Capi-tal, was indicted late lastyear on fraud andmoney-laundering charges.

Tina Schmidt, BearCreek’s former financialofficer, signed a plea dealinMaythatcouldsendherto prison for up to 51months.

Schmidt, however,agreed to help federalprosecutors and could re-ceive a lighter sentence ifshe provides “substantialcooperation.”

Tarpley’s indictmentaccuses him of workingwith Daniels to misrepre-sent how more than $25million from Bank ofAmerica would be used inthe construction of Ken-wood Towne Place in Syc-amore Township.

Prosecutors say thosemisrepresentations per-suaded Bank of Americato continue to providemoney for the projecteven as the developer fellbehind in payments to thecontractors.

Tarpley’s lawyer couldnot be reached for com-ment.

By late 2008, the pro-ject collapsed financiallyand fell into foreclosure.

Feds indict manager fromKenwood Towne PlaceGannett News ServiceA first time, local re-

port card was recentlyreleased by some South-west Ohio suburban dis-tricts is designed to givea broader picture ofschools than provided bythe state.

The self-generatedevaluations, which areseparate from Ohio’s an-nual school ratings, list10 categories rangingfrom academics to par-ent and community in-volvement in 16 localschool systems servingnearly 100,000 area stu-dents.

Officials among thecoalition of districts saystate report cards only

show inadequate “snap-shots” of a school’s ordistrict’s overall perfor-mance.

Indian Hill ExemptedVillage School DistrictSuperintendent MarkMiles emphasized thecomponents of the statereport card are not theonly measures of suc-cess in the school dis-trict.

“There are many oth-er components of qualityschools that are not re-flected on that report,”he said.

Madeira City SchoolDistrict SuperintendentSteve Kramer said theQuality Profile helps tellthe complete story ofhowaschool district per-forms.

“The Quality Profileis designed to provide amore detailed look atwhat ourcommunityval-ues most in theirschools,” he said.

Sycamore Communi-ty Schools Superinten-dent Adrienne James

said the Quality Profilesharesmore informationabout what communitiesvalue in their school dis-tricts.

“These additional ac-countability measuresserve as a valuable sup-plement to the state re-port card, offering abroader perspective anddeeper understanding ofschool systems that of-fer high-quality educa-tional experiences forstudents,” she said.

Most of the 16 dis-tricts scored either “ex-cellent with distinction”or “excellent” in the2011-2012 state ratings.

The state’s latestround of ratings isscheduled to be releasedlater this month.

tion include Fairfield,ForestHills, GreatOaks,Indian Hill, Kings, LittleMiami,Loveland,Madei-ra,Mason,Milford,Mon-roe, Northwest, OakHills, Sycamore, Tala-wanda and Wyoming.

After last year’s suc-cess, someMadeiramomsare bringing back theircost-saving approach toback-to-school shopping.

Members of MadeiraElementary School’s Par-ent Teacher Organizationstarted the ChangingHands sale last fall forparents tosavesomemon-eywhile still being able tobuy items they need fortheir kids.

Brandi Maples, chair-woman of the sale, firstheard about the idea fromafriend living inWashing-ton, D.C., and its popular-ity there.

People with gentlyused children’s clothing,toys and other itemssigneduptobeconsignorsat thesale.Pricesoncloth-ing ran from about $1 to$10, and shoes from about$2 to $5.

Maples said thebenefitof the sale, aside from theprices, is that the itemsfor sale are in good condi-tion and there’s a varietyfromwhich to choose.

The sale this year is setforSaturday,Sept. 7, from8 a.m. to noon at MadeiraElementary School, 7840Thomas Drive, and Ma-ples and other organizersare hoping for more con-signors and buyers alike.

By the end of July, atleast 50 already regis-tered, and she expectedmore to follow. Maplesadded that they expandedtheir sizes for clothing,

which were from new-born to12years, intoolderages, as well as introduc-ing furniture, more babyitems and outdoor playand sports equipment.

“It’s one place whereyou can stop and get whatyou need,” she said.

Hoping to appeal tomore parents looking fordeals, sellers are takingcredit cards this year, aswell as an added price cut—anythingmarkedwithadot will be sold at halfprice during the last halfhour of the sale, Maplessaid.

Last year’s sale in Sep-tember served as a profit-able venture, bringing inabout $5,000 for the PTOafter consignors receivedtheir 70 percent, treasur-er AmyHyland said.

This year, they’re hop-ing to capitalize on thatsuccess and expand byadding a second sale dur-ing the spring. With thatadded sale, items at Sep-tember’s event will fallunder the autumn andwinter theme, and springand summer itemswill besold later in March, Ma-ples said.

Anyonewithextrachil-dren’s items they’re look-ing to take off their handscan register to be a con-signor by emailing the or-ganizers at [email protected] be-fore the Sept. 7 sale.

There’s a $10 fee,which comes with theperk of being able to at-tend the presale the eve-ning before. Sellers who

end the day with itemsthey stillwant to get rid ofcan opt to donate any oftheir remaining items,Maples said.

She added that shefeels thesale is successfulbecause it’s easy for peo-ple to stop by and lookthrough plenty of optionsfor things they need fortheir kids.

“I think it’swhatpeoplewant,” she said.

“There’s great stuff,great merchandise. It’sorganized and easy. Peo-ple appreciated that thedetails were thought out.”

Madeira ranks on lists oftop and most challenging

MadeiraHigh School is con-sidered one of the top schoolsinOhiobynotone,but threena-tional publications.

U.S.NewsandWorldReportranked Madeira as the 16thbest high school in Ohio and438th in the country. It’s 16thplace ranking is based onwhether the school received agold, silver or bronze medal,and is then ranked in numeri-cal order based onwhere it fellwithin the national rankings.

National rankings were de-termined by comparing howregular and economically dis-advantaged students scored tothe average, then how theleast-academically advan-taged students compared tosimilar students in math andreading, according to the origi-nal story.

Schools were then rankednationally by determiningtheir “college readiness index”– ameasure that is based on ad-vanced placement or interna-tional baccalaureate test data.Madeira came out at 438th na-tionally and 16th in Ohio, fall-ing short to Walnut Hills HighSchool, Wyoming High School,Indian Hill High School andSycamore High School in the

Cincinnati area, according tothe rankings.

The Washington Postranked Madeira High Schoolas the 10th most challenginghigh school in Ohio for at leastthe second year in a row, and386th in America. Similar toU.S.News’ rankings,APandIBtest data was used to deter-mine the challenge index,which takes the number of stu-dents who took an AP test atMadeira and divides that bythe number of students.

In the thirdranking,createdby Newsweek and The DailyBeast, used graduation rate,percent of graduates acceptedto college, number of AP or IBtests given and SAT, ACT andAP scores to determine theirrankings for the top 25 highschools in theMidwest. On thislist, Madeira ranked 12 and 131overall. Walnut Hills, IndianHill andWyomingwererankedahead of Madeira in both TheWashington Post’s and News-week/The Daily Beast’s.

Madeira SuperintendentSteve Kramer said that thosemultiple rankings show thattheir students “perform at ahigh level,” while receiving alot of support from both par-ents and communitymembers.

High School Principal TomOlson said that it’s great to be

ranked, because it brings somefamiliarity with Madeira andthe hard work students andteachers put in. Although Ma-deira ranks below Indian Hilland Wyoming in all three lists,and Sycamore in one, he feelsthat the school’s small size hasan impact, as well as requiringall AP students to take the ex-am.Headded that becauseMa-deira is smaller, someAPclass-es are only offered every otheryear because of the lack of stu-dents to enroll in the classes.

“We encourage a lot of kidsto takeAP classes atMadeira,”he said. “Some students scorelower, but it’s good for them tochallenge themselves beforegoing to college. We think thechallenge is worth it.”

Olson added that although“it’s great to be ranked,” theschool will improve its stand-ing in Ohio and nationally.

Deer Park might rehire a re-cently retired teacher.

Marti Kitsinis, a foreign lan-guage teacher who taughtFrench at Deer Park Junior/Senior High School, is beingconsidered for re-employmentby the school board. She retiredat theendof last schoolyear,butcould return to her same posi-tion.

Holmes teacher Chris Hus-ter said that Kitsinis taught herkids, and felt she was a greatteacher who would be a goodchoice to fill the vacancy.

“She has the utmost passionfor education,” Huster said.

Under state law, schoolboards are required to hold aspecial meetingwhen consider-ing to rehire someone who’s al-ready retired. SuperintendentJeff Langdon said he will rec-ommend the board rehire Kit-sinis at the Aug. 21meeting be-cause he thinks “she is the bestcandidate for the position.”

Schools across the state areworking to adapt to the new re-port card, academicandevalua-tion standards they’ll be held toin a few years.

Districts don’t have to waituntil 2015, when they’ll get let-ter-grade based report cardsfrom the Ohio Department ofEducation, to expect new re-quirements to start. Beginningnext month, 16 of 18 total mea-sures that schools and districtsalike will be graded on will beevaluated by the state, said

KenjiMatsudo, assistant super-intendent of Madeira CitySchools.

Thosemeasures aregroupedinto six components – gradua-tion rate, kindergarten throughthird-grade literacy, preparedfor success, achievement, pro-gress andgapclosing.These sixwill make up the overall A to Fgrade that districts will get inplace of the current scale,which goes from “Excellentwith Distinction” to “AcademicEmergency.”

Measures that will be addedto the state report card, such asvalue added for gifted students

and thosewith disabilities, havesome feeling that while thewhole picture of a district isn’tseen through a report card be-cause its heavily based on testscores, there’s a bit more in-sight than there was.

Madeira SuperintendentSteve Kramer said the reportcard doesn’t show what thecommunity values as importantwithin its school district andlooks more at just the hardfacts.

Another debate is over the Ato F grading scale. Kramer saidhe sees how a letter grade for aschool or district overall helps

parents and community mem-bers see what they’re earning,but he added he’s afraid that’sthe only thing people will lookat, insteadof thegradesfor indi-vidual sections.But Krameralso said this new grading sys-tem seems to bemore recogniz-able to people.

“The ODE feels this is a bet-ter explanation to parents howschools are operating,” he said.“Letter grades are somethingthey can relate to.”

Although the 2012-2013school year was the last until2015 to receive an overall ratingfor districts and schools, resi-

dents and parents won’t loseany information. With the statephasing in the new report card,it’s also transitioning its plat-form.Future report cardswon’tbe simple paper scores, but willinstead be web-based and fea-ture pie charts and graphs tobetter compare to other dis-tricts and schools, as well as be-ing more visual. New featuresfor each future report card willadd a new grade through Au-gust of 2015, Matsudo said.

The Cincinnati Citi-zens Police Associationhonored Indian Hill po-lice Capt. Mike Dressell,Lt. Mike Madsen and Of-ficers Frank Cogliano,Brian Dearborn, Ernie

Hudson, Keith Lang andCarl Watts for crackingthe cases that occurredlast year in Madeira,Evendale, Wyoming andWest Chester, in additionto Indian Hill.

Dressell said charges

against James RobertBarker, Thomas Kingand Brayden Brown,whom he said are all intheir early 20s and resi-dents of Greater Cincin-nati, were combined.

Barker, King and

Brown were convicted ofburglary and possession-of-criminal-toolscharges and given prisonterms of 11 years, sevenyears and two years, re-spectively, Dressell said.

The Indian Hill police

A publication of

Although the real estatemarket has improved consider-ably this year in sales volumeand local home prices haveincreased Ohio has alsobucked the national trend ofdeclining foreclosures by post-ing a 2 percent increase inforeclosures for the first halfof the year, bringing us to thefourth highest foreclosurestate in the nation.

One problem is that thetime frame for processing aforeclosure is so lengthy inOhio. Right now it is 18 monthson average, six month higherthan the national average,which is why we see homessitting vacant for so long mak-ing them even more vulner-able to the copper thieves.

Vacant homes notbeing cared for by anowner are a blight onany community. A studyby the Federal ReserveBank of Clevelandshowed a 10 percentdrop in property valuesof the other homes with-in 500 feet of a fore-closure in low-incomeneighborhoods.

This summer we inDeer Park hosted a free fore-closure prevention forum withguest speakers Bill Hanks(977-2627) and Myra Calderfrom HOME (Housing Oppor-tunities Made Equal - 721-4663). They are excellent re-sources to help anyone in dis-tress facing possible fore-

closure.But we know that

many people in thissituation are reluc-tant to step forwardin public and be iden-tified due to the stig-ma of foreclosure.Bill and Myra havewritten a new pam-phlet that we haveavailable at our citybuilding outlining

many options and ideas forhome owners in distress.

Another resource is Savethe Dream Ohio (888-404-4674)which is the state’s effort tohelp home owners in distress.

All too often I talk withpeople who have given moneyto people who solicited them

saying they can help, when infact these are worthless scamsthat take their money or theygive up in frustration fromunfruitful efforts to communi-cate with their lender and justabandon their house.

These are the worst choicesa homeowner in distress canmake. But it is very importantto take action before it is toolate.

I implore homeowners fac-ing difficulties making theirpayments to persist in commu-nicating with their lenders.Even if you spoke with yourlender before, try and tryagain.

New programs are con-stantly being rolled out. If youdid not qualify for one of them

before you may now.Call one of the numbers

above for help. Don’t give up.Consider the option of a

short sale. Many banks arebecoming more open to ac-cepting payoffs less than whatis owed and even giving theowners money to move in aprogram called “Cash ForKeys.” Talk with a real estateprofessional that has experi-ence in short sales.

Many of us know homeown-ers in distress. If you knowsomeone in this situationplease pass on the above re-sources.

Preventing the high cost of foreclosures

LoriNewsomCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Last week’s questionShould U.S. lawmakers and

their staffs continue to receive afederal contribution toward thehealth insurance that they mustpurchase through soon-to-openexchanges created by PresidentBarack Obama’s signature health-care law to prevent the largely un-intended loss of healthcare bene-fits for 535membersof theSenateand House of Representatives andthousands of Capitol Hill staff.Why or why not?

“Yes. Everyone scheduled toreceive a contribution from em-ployers should still receive thatcontribution, no matter forwhom they work.

“If the conservatives andObama-haters would just give ita chance they’d see all the goodthat theAffordable CareAct canaccomplish instead of trying torepeal it 40 more times in Con-gress.

“It’s meant to help the poorand uninsured just like the NewDeal back 70-odd years ago dur-ing the Great Depression.”

TRog

“Although it would be nice ifmaking lawmakers pay for theirown health care would bringtheir attention to the plight ofmostAmericans, thecostof theirpersonal insurance is chumpchange compared to the cam-paign contributions they getfrom the special interests in themedical field.

“Since Citizen’s United it’s afree-for-all for rich individualsand corporations. The only thingholding some of the worst ofthem back is the sheer impracti-cality of most 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 themunlimited vacation time at thenext election.

“Unfortunately with themedia breaking into venues,which allow people to get thenews theywant asopposed to thenews that is actually true, we’regoing tohaveanuphill battleget-ting any sort of consensus onpublic health in our nation.

“Fortunately, the AffordableCare Act is already cutting costsfor many of us, and even if itdoesn’t solve the bigger prob-lems it will set the stage for con-tinued dialogue.”

N.F.

“Kind of amoot question. TheCongress will do whatever isbest for them and not what is

best for the American people.Period.”

J.Z.

“The Democrats yes, the Re-publicans no! Seriously,whetherits health care or retirement,government should not be al-lowed to vote its own membersand staff better benefits thanthose available to the rest of thepopulation.

“A single term in congressshouldn’t entitle you to anythingmore than Cobra benefits whileyou look for new employment. Ifex members of government hadto survive on Medicare or Medi-caid and Social Security thosewould be good programs, andyes,weallmight have to contrib-ute a bit more to ensure theirlong-term future.”

D.R.

“If these people are alreadyreceiving a contribution fromthe government (their employ-er) it should continue. If thismeans they will not have to getObama-care like the rest of us –shame on them!

“We should all be in this boattogether. Thatway if andwhen itstarts to sink they’ll have an in-centive to fix or replace it.”

R.V.

“Of course not! But this rodeoclown has set a new standard ofpicking winners and losers forpolitical reasons, paybacks forcontributors and favors to hisbase.

“Large corporations, unionsand the IRS and now lawmakersare getting special exemptionsfrom this disasterous law. MosthardworkingAmericans are notsurprised by a good screwingfrom the federal government,butunfairness to thisdegreecre-ates tremendous anger and ani-mosity.

“When is the last time yousaid: ‘Wow, this will be great’when you heard of a new law orgovernment program??”

MADEIRA—Football is anoth-ersportatMadeira thatwill feelthe loss of the 2012 senior class;likely one of the more talentedones in school history.

Over their four seasons, theMustangs were a cumulative33-9 and won two CincinnatiHills League titles.

“We had 18 seniors last yearthat graduated,” coach MikeShafer said. “We have threestarters returning. We’ll havesome young kids that will haveanopportunity toplayonFridaynights that were JV players lastyear.”

However, the previous classleft a good example on theyounger players in terms ofweight training and summerwork. The days of Will Steur orKyleWilliamsononthe linemaybe temporarily gone, but thefoundation is there.

“We won’t be as big, but wehave a couple guys who are ca-pable of playing,” Shafer said.

The Mustangs have alwayshad capable runners and throw-ers and this season’s offenseworked extensively in late sum-mer on moving the ball againstthe likes of Clark, Ross, Kings,Waynesville, Milford and Taftin seven-on-seven competi-tions.

Seniors Cole Johnson andGrantHopewellarenowthetar-gets on theendsandseniorMattBallweg steps in for departedthree-year starter Zack Jansenat quarterback.

“He quarterbacked all sum-mer last year because our start-er (Jansen) was hurt,” Shafersaid. “Even though he doesn’thave a lot of Friday night expe-

rience, he has a lot of experi-ence in the offense.”

The rest of the offense willbe new guys, including JewelsEdmerson running the ball.

“He was the JV tailback lastyear and backed up TimmyJames,”Shafersaid. “Hedidgetin some and I don’t think we’llmiss a beat in that position.”

Madeira’s defense is a bigquestion with a new front six.

However, inpastyears theMus-tangs have had the firepower tomerely outscore the opponent.With so many changes on bothsides of the ball, Madeiramightbe the league’s biggestmystery.

“Wehada luxury the last fewyears of only having two, threeor four guys play both sides ofthe ball,” Shafer said. “We’ll beback to having a lot more goboth ways. “

KENWOOD — The soundyou’ve heard off of Montgome-ry Road just past Ronald Rea-gan Highway is a familiar onethis time of year.

It’sMoellerHighSchool foot-ball team reloading for anotherrun.

A little more than ninemonths since winning the OhioDivision I trophy in Canton, theCrusaders are back with theirtypically demanding scheduleand high expectations.

“We’re excited about the sea-son,” coach John Rodenbergsaid. “I thought we worked outpretty hard this winter. This is anew team. We had a lot of guysgraduate last year and they hadtheir own character. This is anewteamwithanewcharacter.”

Stepping in for thegraduatedSpencer Iacovone at quarter-back is Gus Ragland. Raglandplayed on Moeller’s state foot-ball and baseball championshipteams with Iacovone and waspart of the offense a year ago.

“It was important for Gus tostart atwide receiver to get thatgame experience last year,” Ro-denberg said. “We think it willbe a smooth transition becausethey’re similar-type styles.”

When Ragland hands off,he’ll have a committee of DeanMeyer, Jack Gruber, John Hey-wood and Sterling Noes lookingto chew up yards behind theCrusader line coached by for-mer UC Bearcat Doug Rosfeld.

The line features StevenLangenkamp going to Ohio Uni-versity, and Rodenberg expectsJaredJacon-Duffytoalsogetof-fered.

Liningupwideare speedy ju-nior Chase Pankey and lankysenior Isaiah Gentry. Both arestrong members of Moeller’strack team in the spring.

“We might have two of thefastest receivers we’ve had in along time,” Rodenberg said. “Itshould open up our verticalgame a little bit this year.”

Gentry has been offered byAkron and Kent and could be abig game away from attractingmore attention. As always, theCrusadershave somenice tight-end targets, including one whocould be a factor for the nextthree years in sophomore JakeHaussman, who’s already at 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds.

“We’re loaded with about

three to four tight ends thathave great potential,” Roden-berg said. “We’re excited aboutwhat we can do in formation.”

Defensively, 6-foot-6 safetySam Hubbard will turn moreheads, especially after signingwith Ohio State.

Coordinating again is veter-anJimLippincott,who teamsupwith offensive assistant SteveKlonne to formMoeller’s “Gold-en Boys” under Rodenberg.

“We’ve got a lot of experi-ence,” Rodenberg said. “It’seasy to work with these guys.They all do their job well andwhen they do that, it’s easy tocontrol it.”

Once again, Moeller’s sched-ule is not for the weak at heart.

“We did pick up a Canadianteam that’ll be a little bit differ-ent,”Rodenbergsaid. “The Indi-anapolisPike teamisgoing tobea very athletic team. I tell youthe team that worries me themost is theLouisvilleSt.Xteam.I thought they were young lastyear and tough. That’s a heck ofa test before we go into leagueplay.”

DEERPARK—The last coupleof seasons have been rough onthe Deer Park Wildcats as theprogram has just twowins in asmany years.

But the team could be on theupswing thanks to an infusionofyoung talent ledbyagroupofstellar sophomores.

“Age is one thing, but this istalented group,” said headcoach Larry Kozlowski. “Theyare more talented a group than

I’ve coached be-fore as a headcoach yet.”

Kozlowskisaid around 50percent of theteam’s starterswill consist ofsophomores.

While young,fans attending

games this seasonwill beable torecognize the team’s blisteringspeed. That attribute shouldhave the Wildcats adding to thehighlight reel, despite thesquad’s reliance on youngerplayers.

“…The team speed is thebest I’ve ever coached,” Ko-zlowski said. “I have athletes allover the field this year.”

On offense, Kozlowski madea switch at the quarterback po-sition by moving last year’sstarter, Trevor Andrews, backto wide receiver.

It was just two seasons agothat Andrews caught 20 passesas a sophomore. In 2012, An-drews threwfor1,464yards and13 touchdowns and garneredsecond-team All-CHL recogni-tion at quarterback.

“He’s a shortguywho’squickand shifty…He should be a go-to-guy. He’s ready for a bigyear,” Kozlowski said.

Sophomore Austin Osbornewill assume the quarterbackrolewith a chance tomake a bigimpact.

At 6-foot-5, with a good arm,Osborne possesses the toolsthat can make life difficult foropposing defenses.

Kozlowski said Osborne hasused the summer practice sea-son to work on reading de-fenses, in addition to watchingfilm.

In the backfield, Osbornewill have 6-foot, 200-pound run-ning backMartell Johnson han-dling the rushing duties.

Johnson, a sophomore, sawtime on the varsity field as afreshman. It’s a move thatshould pay dividends this sea-son, according to Kozlowski.

“Holy smokes it’s paid off.He’s a different runner. He’sfast and he’s powerful and he’llrun you over if head to,” Ko-zlowski said.

On defense, the Wildcatsshould be aggressive, withblitzes coming from every di-rection.

The scheme places in-creased importance on the line-backer position, which meansjunior middle linebacker ChadComarata and sophomoreChristian Stidham could bepoised for big seasons.

“(Linebackers) set the tonefor our defense,” Kozlowskisaid.

Comarata had a breakoutyear in 2012with 73 tackles, andhis play was awarded second-

team All-CHL recognition.TheWildcats kickoff the sea-

son playing a non-conferencegame against Purcell Marian atthe University of Cincinnati’sSheakley Field as part of theSkyline Chili Crosstown Show-down Aug. 30. Play begins at 6p.m.

After consecutive one-winseasons,Kozlowski said the em-phasis on the 2013 campaignwill be about winning games.

“A lot depends on if we canget over and not use age as anexcuse…and if we play the waywe should, we should win a lotof games,” he said. “In the end,that’s what it’s all about. It’stime to bring it all to the tableand win some some games andthat’s the bottom line.”

INDIANHILL—Ifallgoeswellfor Indian Hill in their opener,theirquarterbackwill beOKforthe second half at New Rich-mond Aug. 30.

Last year, senior starter JonGriggsranfor144yardsandtwoscores in the first half againsttheLionsandhadtheBravesoutto a 14-0 lead. Then, he tore hisACL.

“It kind of threw us in a a bitof a tailspin,” coachMikeTheis-en said.

Fortunately, Matt Thompsonhad moved back to the area andwas able to take over for the fi-nal six games of Indian Hill’sseason. TheBraveswere able topull out two wins in what wasotherwise a difficult year.

With the lanky lad back for afull year, Theisen hopes tospread the field someandutilizethe receiving strengths of 6-foot-5 Shay Bahner, 6-foot-6freshman Reid Aicholtz andsenior Mac Carrier.

“We’re going back to a pistol,but we’re going to run the ballwith him a lot,” Theisen said.“He’s anoutstanding runner.Weexpect to be a 65-35 run team.”

WhenThompson doesn’t run,Carrier or Ben Brendamourcouldcarrythegoods.They’lldosowith an offensive line that av-erages 260 pounds and features290-pound Sam Smith. Smith,Thompson and Carrier are allgetting collegiate looks.

“We’re pretty beefy up

front,” Theisen said.The Braves were tough to

gauge last season as the earlyquarterback injury scrappedtheir season’s plans to be a run-ning team. It wasn’t until late inthe season that some consisten-cy reappeared under Thomp-son.

With sixvarsitygamesunderhis quarterback’s belt, Theisen

hopes to get back into the Cin-cinnati Hills League discussion.

“I think people overlook us alittle bit, which is finewithme,”

Theisen said. “I think Wyo-ming’s going to be consideredthe favorite. I always tell peopleI think Taylor’s a team that’s upand coming; you’ve got towatchthem.”

After opening at New Rich-mond, the Braves return hometo Tomahawk Stadium Sept. 6.It’ll be their first game on thenew, shiny turf installed overthe summer.

“Eleven years with the oldturf, so it’s about time wechanged that,” Theisen said.“It’s a great new look for us. Thekids are really excited.”

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 quarterbackcandoon the field, butalsowhat

he brings to thehuddle.

“(I’ve seen)tremendousgrowth as far asleadership iscon-cerned,” Spechtsaid. “… He’sable to do thingsthat we wouldn’tbe able to dowith

anybody else. He’s really takento 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’ssupposed to be when you’re go-ing into your senior year.”

For the Tensing-Hilliard

freight 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,” Spechtsaid. “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 will

move 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).

INDIAN HILL — The Cincin-nati Country Day Indians fin-ished4-6 lastseason, includinga2-5 mark in the Miami ValleyConference where three teams– Summit Country Day, CHCA,and North College Hill – allreached the football playoffs.

Head coach Tim Dunn ex-pects those three to be the front

runners in theleague again thisseason, but alsoexpects his teamto compete withthem.

With 15 re-turning starterson his 30-oddmanroster,Dunnhas reason for

optimism.“We’ve got about 70 percent

of our offense back,” he said.“That’sprettygood.Upfrontweneed some more experience,but we’ll be competitive.”

Junior quarterback Camer-on Alldred returns to lead theIndians’ offense. He has a pairof seniors in the backfield withhim in J.R. Menifee and CarsonAquino. Sophomore Dylan Jor-dan also plays running back.

The offensive line includesreturning juniors Matero Mari-no-Cheek, Brooks Warner andWill Koustmer, along withMitchell Mack. Carter McMas-ter and junior Austin Richeyserve as blocking and receivingthreats at tight end. JuniorMaxGuttman returns at receiver

The defense features manyof the same characters, playingon both sides of the ball.

Sophomore Wyatt FletcherjoinsGuttman in the secondary.Koustmer leads the linebackingcorps. Mack Warner and Mari-no-Cheek anchor the interiorline with Richey on the end.

Dunn got a glimpse of theteam in action during a three-way scrimmage against Marie-mont and Williamsburg andliked some of what he saw.

“We played pretty good rundefense,”hesaid. “Wethrewtheball pretty well, but there’s a lotof work to do still.

“We have three games to getready for theMVC and see howfar we’ve come along.”

SYMMES TWP. — After a 9-2playoff season in 2012 – includ-ing a 6-1 record and runner-upfinish in the Miami Valley Con-ference – Cincinnati HillsChristian Academy footballcould be even better this sea-son.

“We have eight starters backon both sides of the ball,” headcoach Eric Taylor said. “Wewere able to start the year at alittle higher level in terms of in-stalling plays and getting pre-pared, and we were at a prettygood level already.”

The Eagles will maintaintheir spread offense and play a3-4 base defense with plenty ofmultiples to keep opposing of-fenses off balance.

The offensive line is one keystrength, with senior centerChristian Willard, seniorguards Connor Kirbabas andRyan Prescott and senior lefttackle Jacob Haller all return-ing. They protect a backfieldthat includes a three-year sen-ior starters like quarterbackConnor Osborne and runningbacks Tyler Renners and NickMarsh. Junior Cam Murray re-turns at receiver.

Defensively, look for Pres-cott and junior Jake Eckert atthe ends. Eckert is also an all-city punter and kicker for theEagles. Marsh and Rennersteamwith senior Trenton Pfeis-ter and junior Jonah James atlinebacker.

“We still have a lot of compe-tition going on in the skill posi-tions. That’s where we’re inex-perienced and we need to growup some.”

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 is slightlydifferentfrom one Ishared lastyear. To-matoes arein seasonright nowand thehome-grown/bestare abun-dant atfarmers’

markets.As for me, my toma-

toes are the best I’veever grown and sincemost of them are theindeterminate type, theykeep bearing all seasonlong. I’m not even be-grudging the groundhogseating their share, there’s

that 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 the

yellow 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 chopthem up fine. I also liketo add salt and pepper.Roast until skins start tolook spotty if you areroasting skin side up.Otherwise, roast untiltomatoes look wrinkledand are soft.

Let cool and, if youlike, remove skins. Thefirst time I made them Ididn’t remove the skins,but when 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 that

makes these so differ-ent? Ranch dressing!

10medium red or Yukongold potatoes

1 pouch ranch salad dressingJalapeño 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 singlelayer 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.

Myers-Bauer

Jeffrey and Laurel Bauerof Cincinnati announcethe engagement of theirson, Christopher Birch Ba-uer, to Melissa MarieMyers, daughter of JoAnnand Dennis Myers of Lor-ain, Ohio.The future bride graduat-ed from Xavier Universitywith a BS in accountingand is a Certified PublicAccountant. She is a taxsenior at Ernst & Young.The future groom re-ceived a BS in finance andmarketing from XavierUniversity and is a catego-ry development accountexecutive at Procter andGamble.A November 2013 wed-ding is planned and thecouple will live in Cincin-nati.

The JCC is offering aunique two-part programfeaturing Aaron Betsky,director of the CincinnatiArt Museum, at 7 p.m.Thursday, Aug. 22, at theMayerson JCC, and a pri-vate guided tour of theCincinnatiWingof theCin-cinnati Art Museum andlunchat themuseum’sTer-race Cafe’ on Sunday af-ternoon, Aug. 25.

Betsky, also an archi-tecture educator andcritic, will discuss “Con-necting the Jewels of theQueen City” Aug. 22 at theJCC.Hewill talk about the“crown jewels” of Cincin-nati that set the city apart,andhiscontroversial ideason using these assets tostrengthen Cincinnati’scommunity. He will givesuggestions on how tobuildon the landscape thatalready exists to improvethe future of the entirecity. His thought-provok-ing perspective referenc-es changes to infrastruc-ture, public transporta-tion, andadding life tocon-nective spaces betweeninstitutions, includingareas outside of the citycenter.

“Cincinnati’s anchorcultural institutions, itsparks and cultural heri-tage reallydistinguish thiscity and tie it together. Weneed to reuse and rethinkwhat we have in order tobuild with the land ratherthan on it, to create amoresustainableway of living,”Betsky said.

On Sunday, Aug. 25 at11:30a.m.,participantswillvisit the Cincinnati Wingof the Art Museum with aprivate guided tour.They’ll see the CincinnatiEveryday exhibit featur-ing two local artists, ColeCarothers and CourttneyCooperwith different per-spectives on the city land-

scape using differentmedia.

Carothers is a classical-ly trained oil painter whohas developed a signifi-cant body of work in alandscape tradition. Hebuilds on this tradition bycreating views of Cincin-nati that extend beyondsimple observation andtransform painted ges-tures into buildings andbuildings back into paint-ed gestures.

Cooper creates large-scale aerial view “maps”of Cincinnati using noth-ing more than copier pa-per, ballpoint pens, and adeepknowledgeof thecitybuilt upon a lifetime oftravelling on city buses,walking downtown, andtaking car trips withfriends.

“Connecting the Jewelsof the Queen City” is partof the new Eat. Tour. Ex-plore series at the JCC,and isoffered incollabora-tion with the Wolf CenterforArts& Ideas. Eat. Tour.Explore programs are theperfect mix of light learn-ing taught by local expertsin arts, culture and cur-rent events.
