Springfield Township trusteesare considering adding interiorinspections of rental property tothe property maintenance code.

“We’ve made no decisions andwill have several public hearingsbefore taking any action,” saidTrustee Joe Honerlaw.

Chris Gilbert, assistant adminis-trator, said the township’s currentproperty maintenance code onlyaddresses exterior conditions.

“We will continue to do theresearch needed before making adecision,” said Trustee Gwen McFar-lin. “My biggest concern is providingstandards to ensure the safety andquality of life for our residents.”

Honerlaw said there will betwo public hearings on the main-tenance code change.

“We want to hear from ourresidents and rental propertyowners before taking anyaction,” he said.

No dates for those hearingshave been scheduled.

Stephanie Summerow callsdomestic violence a “silent killer,”and her new foray into writingdeals with the subject head-on.

Summerow’s “Perpetuating thePerpetrator: I Love Me Better ThanThat” details an abusive relation-ship through its conclusion. Shesaid the non-fiction book is basedon the relationship of someoneshe knows.

“We have millions and millionsof people suffering in silence,”Summerow said.

Summerow, a Forest Park resi-dent and former mayor, said shebegan to consider writing a bookabout five years ago and once sheput pen to paper, the 65-pagebook was quickly completed.

She said she hopes to inspireboth victims of domestic violence,and those committing domesticviolence, to seek help.

Summerow said the book alsoprovides lessons and guidelines tofollow for readers who may havequestions about abusive relation-ships.

“There is help. You don’t haveto suffer in silence,” she said.

They donned green T-shirts,grabbed paint brushes and hedgetrimmers, and got down to work.

More than 200 volunteers fromNorthminster and Wyoming Pres-byterian churches teamed up forNorthminster’s annual Connectproject Aug. 14.

“This is our third year of work-ing in the community as a missionchurch,” said Connect organizerLaurie Laning. “Our goal is toshare the love of Christ throughhands-on service to our communi-ties.”

The volunteers cheerfully spentthe Saturday morning paintingand doing a bit of landscaping atFinneytown High School andWhitaker Elementary School.

“We’ve developed a wonderfulrelationship with Northminster inrecent years,” said Mike Morgan,Finneytown district maintenancesupervisor. “They bring in teamsof people who can do more on aSaturday morning than two custo-dians are able to do.”

Jean and Bill Hawkins ofSpringfield Township said theywere happy to help out paintingFinneytown High School restroomdoors a bright blue.

“We have the time and we liketo help out,” Jean Hawkins said.

Another team headed to Col-lege Hill Fundamental Academy to

help teachers prepare their class-rooms for opening day.

“I went to school here so it wasreally fun to be able to come backand help out,” said John Zimmer-man of Springfield Township.

The Connect volunteers wereeagerly welcomed by school staffand Principal Barbara Gordon asthey tackled the 35 classrooms.

Other volunteers were assignedto Reading and Lockland schools,Springfield Township parks and toresidents who needed help withminor home repairs.

“It’s about helping others,” saidRich Humason, a SpringfieldTownship resident and Northmin-ster member who volunteeredalong with his daughter, Lisa. “Weget to help out and show otherswhat God is all about while we’reworking.”

While pulling weeds at Finney-town High School may not havebeen the 14-year-old’s top chorechoice, Lisa admitted it wasn’t allbad working alongside her dad.

“It’s a way to help,” she said.“And, it’s kind of fun.”

State Rep. Connie Pillichwants to be a champion of

veteran concerns for thestate, and that means tak-ing on constituent concernshead-on.

Pillich (D - Montgomery)

did just that during a recenttown hall meeting at ForestPark council chambers cen-tered around veteran services.

Approximately 20 localresidents, many of whomwere veterans, listened asPillich gave a brief legislativeupdate before passing themicrophone to DanielEakins, program coordinatorfor the Ohio Department ofVeterans Services, and Emer-

ald Hernandez, legislativeliaison for the department.

Both noted increased

funding for veterans associ-ations and more attentionbeing paid to veterans serv-ices.

Several audience mem-bers asked questions, typi-cally about difficulties facedwhen filing a claim for serv-ices and the range of bene-fits available.

Eakins said veteransservices don’t have a stronghistory in the state, so heexpected plenty of thosequestions.

“There’s a lot of skepti-cism,” he said, adding thestate is working to changethat perception.

Allen Petts, Finneytownresident and member of Dis-abled American Veterans,

attended the meeting andsaid he left with questionsunanswered.

“I wanted more informa-tion,” he said.

Petts said his issues dealmostly with getting morelocal options to assistHamilton County veterans.

Eakins said the frustra-tion is “understandable,”and work is being done totighten up the process of fil-ing claims.

Pillich, who listened formost of the meeting, said“strong progress” has beenmade, but there’s morework to be done.

“We need to do every-thing we can to support ourmilitary families,” she said.

Middle school student athleteswill find grades matter more thisyear

Seventh and eighth graderswill be required to pass a mini-mum of five courses of all subjectstaken in the preceding gradingperiod.

The Ohio High School AthleticAssociation (OHSAA) has adoptednew scholarship standards for stu-dents in grades seven and eightwhich went into effect Aug. 1.

Middle school athletic directors

are working to make sure parentsunderstand the changes.

At Colerain Middle School, ath-letic director Vicki Zeinner saidthe change actually makes deter-mining eligibility more simple.

“Before, it was 75 percent ofthe classes in the prior quarter,”she said.

“So, you had to figure it out foreach student’s schedule. This isstraight across the board. A stu-dent has to pass five classes inthe prior quarter.”

Zeinner says she thinks thechange is good for student ath-letes.

“This raises the bar for ourathletes,” she said. “And there ishelp available for students whoneed it.”

Zeinner said students can gettutoring or participate in studytables to make sure they stay eli-gible.

A student enrolled in the firstgrading period after advancementfrom the eighth grade must havepassed a minimum of five of allsubjects carried the precedinggrading period in which the stu-dent was enrolled.

A student enrolling in the sev-enth grade for the first time will

be eligible for the first gradingperiod regardless of previous aca-demic achievement.

From this point on, in order tobe eligible, a student in gradeseven or eight must be currentlyenrolled in school during theimmediately preceding gradingperiod and received passinggrades during that grading periodin a minimum of five of thosesubjects in which the studentreceived grades.

For students taking just fivecourses, there will be no marginfor error, as failing even onecourse will cause a student to be

ineligible for a grading period.All subjects in which the stu-

dent will receive a grade or aPass/Fail or Satisfactory/Unsatis-factory will count.

If a student is taking threeelectives in a grading period, eachof the grades in those subjectswould count toward this stan-dard.

Zeinner is encouraging par-ents to look at their children’sschedules closely.

“If your student is scheduledfor two study halls in the samequarter, you might want to callthe counselor,” she said.

Athletic eligibility rules change for middle schoolers

ROB DOWDY/STAFF

“The eternal silence ofthese infinite spaces terrifiesme.” So stated Blaise Pas-cal, famed philosopher, sci-entist, mathematician andwriter about the vastness ofthe universe.

Notice it was not thesheer size of “these infinite

spaces” that amazed him. Itwas their silence that terri-fied him.

The gaping stillness of anight sky can remind us ofour human solitude. For somany, noise and busynessare familiar; solitude andsilence frighten us.

Theologian NicholasLash writes, “I have a sus-picion that one reason whysome scientists seem sokeen to suppose that some-where, in some vastly dis-tant region, there must bethat which we could recog-nize as ‘living,’ and as

capable of communicatingwith us … Meeting themwould give us company anddiminish our terrifying iso-lation.”

He could have a point.Our fear of silence and soli-tude is confirmed when werecall how even earlyGreeks and Romans popu-lated the distant skies withspirits, deities and astrologi-cal animals.

Horoscope readers todayfind solace in the belief thatthe stars and planets arereally entities concernedabout us and our fate.

Why do we dislikesilence so much?

One reason is we fearlooking at all that is withinus. We’re masters at avoid-ing confrontation with whowe really are and what’sgoing on in our depths.

True, our advances intechnology can be extreme-ly helpful in conversingwith another and transact-ing our businesses.

But at other times tech-nology is like the Trojanhorse that delivered a hid-den enemy within thecamp.

Technology has alreadygiven us multiple ways toavoid silence: radio, TV,computers, cell phones,internet, games, e-mails,

text-messaging, etc.We can go to bed with

music or TV and awake tothe same. Want to avoidsilence? There’s an app forthat.

An old paradoxical say-ing claims that the cure forloneliness is solitude. Forwhen we have conqueredsolitude’s fear, we discoverwe are not alone.

Bringing a temporaryhalt to our hurrying anddoing permits us to tap intoour conversations with our-selves within.

Dr. James Hollis notes,“The chief pathology of ourtime is the capacity of theworld to distract us fromthis conversation.”

Psychological observa-tions have proven that thethree places we can come toknow ourselves the best aremarriage, psychotherapyand silence.

Our first tries at bringingmore silence into our livescan be agitating. Webecome anxious, feelingweird at doing this, andchecking the time to seewhen our time is up so wecan get on to better things.

Actually, we have to gothrough the frighteningsilence to come to the elo-quent silence.

After working our waythrough the scary part ofsilence, we come to an inner

p l a c ewhere thequality ofthe silencechanges .In thism o r epeaceful place we are most-ly with our self, and withGod.

This apparently emptyspace of silence is actuallyindescribably full. Then it isthat we discover that elo-quent silence is not anabsence, but a presence; notboring but refreshing; notstressful but serene.

Author Pico Iyerdescribes this serenity foundin silence: “Eloquent silenceis that enchanted placewhere space is cleared, timesubsides, and the horizonexpands.

“In silence, we often say,we can hear ourselvesthink; but what is truer tosay is that in silence we canhear ourselves not think,and so sink below ourselves into a place far deep-er than mere thoughtallows. In silence, we mightbetter say, we can hearsomeone else think.”

As the heat and humidi-ty moderate in late summerand autumn, nature calls usmore insistently to comeaway for awhile fromexpressways, malls andcrowds – and like the greathost that she is – invites usto revel in her silence.

There are certain soupsthat transcend trendy andbecome real heirloomfavorites.

The soup recipes I’msharing today fit those crite-ria. They are the ones thatare my most popular.

Now I know it may betoo hot to make them now,but tuck these jewels away– autumn isn’t far away!

Rita’s 30-minutevegetable soup

One of my most request-ed recipes, this is a favoritewith kids and adults.

Also, throw in any strayvegetables lurking in thefridge. Ditto with extracooked pasta or rice.

And if your family does-n’t like spicy soup, use reg-ular canned diced tomatoes.Pass plenty of cheddar orParmesan.

l pound lean groundbeef: sirloin or groundround

1 generous cup choppedonion

1 teaspoon garlic1 jar, 20-30 oz. chunky

garden style pasta sauce2 cans beef brothWater to taste (start with

1 soup can of water and gofrom there)

1 can, 10 oz., chopped

tomatoesand chilies

1pound orso frozenm i x e dv e g e t a -b l e s ,thawed ifyou havetime

Severalhand fu l s

any fresh greens (opt.)Cheddar or Parmesan for

garnish

Sauté meat, onion andgarlic together in largestockpot. “Sauté” simplymeans browning the meatwith the onion and garlic.Drain any fat.

Now add everything elsebut the greens. If you havethe 30 oz. jar of pastasauce, add almost all buttaste before adding the rest.

Bring to a boil and letsimmer for 20 minutes oruntil veggies are tender.

Toss in greens and cookuntil just wilted, about aminute more.

Tony Palazzolo’sversion of Frisch’svegetable soup

“A result of over a dozenattempts, and I think it is

very close to Frisch’s,”wrote Tony, an AndersonTownship reader.

The last time I made this,I used about a pound offrozen mixed vegetables forthe peas, corn, beans andlima beans.

I also omitted the freshcarrots, since carrots wereincluded in the frozen mixedvegetables. I used quickcooking barley and brownrice, as well.

4 tablespoons vegetable oil1 cup onion, diced1⁄2 cup each diced: carrots,

celery1⁄2 cup each frozen veg-

etables: peas, corn, cutgreen beans, baby limabeans (can use canned babylimas)

1 can, 14.5 oz, dicedtomatoes with juice

2 quarts beef broth1 quart water1⁄2 teaspoon each thyme,

garlic powder3⁄4 teaspoon black pepper1 cup potato, diced1⁄4 cup pearl barley1⁄4 cup long grain riceSalt to taste

In a large soup pot, sautéonion, carrot, and celeryuntil onion is soft but notbrowned, about 10 minutes.Add rest of ingredients

except potato, rice and bar-ley.

Bring to boil and lower tosimmer partially covered for30 to 45 minutes.

Add potato, rice and bar-ley, bring back to boil, lowerto simmer, partially covered,for another 30 minutes oruntil potato, rice and barleyare done. Add salt and pep-per.

Amy Tobin’s Italianwedding soup

Amy is a friend and col-league who is well knownfor her creative entertainingskills. This soup is so good.

4 cups escarole, cleanedand cut crosswise into 1-inch strips

11⁄2 large carrots, chopped12 cups chicken stock4 ounces ditalini or

tubetti, or other small pastaFreshly grated ParmesanMeatballs*1⁄2 pound ground veal or

beef1⁄2 cup plain breadcrumbs1⁄2 cup freshly grated

Parmesan cheese1⁄4 cup grated onion1 large egg1⁄2 teaspoon saltFreshly ground pepper,

to taste

Combine the escarole,carrots, and stock in a largepot. Bring to a simmer andcook until the escarole isalmost tender, about 30minutes.

*To make the meatballs:

Combine ground meat,breadcrumbs, cheese,onion, egg, salt and pepper.Shape into tiny balls, lessthan 1 inch in diameter.

When the escarole isalmost tender, stir in thepasta and return the soup tothe simmer.

Drop the meatballs intothe soup. Cook over lowheat, stirring gently, untilthe meatballs and pasta arecooked, about 20 minutes.

Litter bugsI enjoy reading the Hilltop

Press in Forest Park. Very inform-ative in sports and surroundingareas.

I especially loved the column“Whether city or suburbs, litterbugs everyone,” (Aug. 11) espe-cially me. I live on Waycross Roadin Forest Park. I am constantlypicking up bottles, paper, McDon-ald’s bags, etc., across the streetfrom me, where there is a school.

I think Ms. Barb Wriston-Ruddy’s column should have beenon the front page, highlighting thepart that says “Place a bag in your… ”

I’m always picking up litter atparks. Is it so hard for people towalk a few extra steps and disposeof litter properly?

This column is so great, I feel itshould be in every newspaper inOhio. Litter should not be a billiondollar clean-up cost for the UnitedStates.

A great big “thank you” to Ms.Barb Wriston-Ruddy for this litterbugs everyone column. It stillshould be published monthly orweekly in every newspaper tillpeople everywhere read it. Maybeit will click some day. Every pointshe stated is true.

The Germania Society’s Okto-berfest was the first in the regionand is therefore “The OriginalCincinnati Oktoberfest.”

The idea for Oktoberfest origi-nated from a brainstorming ses-sion after Oktoberfest Balls wereheld in 1965 and 1966. In thesummer of 1971, a committeewas formed for the purpose ofdeveloping a Munich-style, tradi-tional Oktoberfest.

A traditional-style MunichOktoberfest was held at the Har-vest Home Park in the city ofCheviot and began with a paradedown Harrison Avenue.

The Oktoberfest featured rides,German food and drinks, a pettingzoo and entertainment, includinga performance by German shep-herds and a horse show.

In 1969, the Germania Societypurchased land on West KemperRoad in Colerain Township. TheGermania Society built a park onthe land and held the firstMunich-style Oktoberfest at Ger-mania Park in 1984.

The 40th annual GermaniaSociety Oktoberfest is being heldon Aug. 27, Aug. 28 and Aug. 29.

The Oktoberfest will have avariety of food, drink and activi-ties for the entire family.

In 2009, the St. XavierBombers were GreaterCatholic League South divi-sion champions, boasting a3-0 conference record, butfell short of winning a statetitle, losing to Elder in thesecond round of the play-offs.

Now, just a few yearsremoved from an undefeat-ed 2007 state championshipseason, the Bombers arehoping that a wide-openGreater Catholic League willlead them to a second con-

secutive conference title anda trip to Canton for the titlegame.

The Bombers, who were9-3 overall last season,return 10 starters from lastyear’s team, six of whom

play defense.It’s the defense, led by

senior linebackers StevenDaniels and Sean Duggan,that will carry this team,according to head coachSteve Specht.

“With four linebackersreturning, the middle of ourdefense is strong,” Spechtsaid. “Those guys provedlast year that they can playfootball.”

Daniels and Duggan,who have both receivednumerous scholarship offersfrom schools around thecountry, are joined ondefense by fellow lineback-

ers Jake Rumpke, a senior,and Nathan Gerbus, a jun-ior, as well as senior defen-sive back Connor Buczek.

However, the offensiveside of the ball has a fewquestion marks as theBombers must break in anew quarterback this sea-son, replacing the graduatedLuke Massa.

That job falls to seniorNick Albers.

Albers, a 6-foot-4 pocketpasser, served as Massa’sbackup in 2009 and,according to Specht, hasseparated himself from hiscompetition in practice.

Albers will be helped bya strong running back injunior Conor Hundley.Hundley led the GCL inrushing yardage as a soph-omore in 2009, racking upmore than 1,000 yards.

The top receiving threatfor St. Xavier is expected tobe sophomore Kevin Milli-gan. Milligan caught ninepasses for 136 yards as afreshman and will see muchincreased playing time thisseason.

The Bombers are notalone in having someuncertainties heading intothe 2010 season, as everyGCL team has suffered sig-nificant losses from last sea-son, including both Elderand Moeller who must alsobreak in new quarterbacks.

This uncertainty has leadto a wide-open race for theGCL title, and Specht isunsure who the favorite isto win the league.

“I really don’t know(how the standings willlook),” Specht said.

“I think there are somany unknowns, you cantake all four teams, putthem in a hat and draw

them and that could be howthe GCL standings end up.”

One thing is certain forthe Bombers, and that is avery, very tough schedule.

St. X opens us againstOur Lady of Good Counselfrom Washington, D.C.,who finished 11-1 last sea-son, in a game televisednationally by ESPN.

In addition to theBombers’ GCL opponents,St. X also plays two peren-nial powerhouses fromLouisville, Trinity and St.Xavier, as well as two of the

best teamsn o r t h e r nOhio has tooffer, inL a k e w o o dSt. Edwardand Cleve-land St.Ignatius.

“We play a brutal sched-ule,” Specht said. “I tell thekids that the toughest teamwe play is the next team onthe schedule.”

For Specht, the expecta-tions for the season deal notwith wins and losses, but inless tangible goals like char-acter, teamwork and effort.

Specht said his biggestchallenge is teaching hisplayers how to work hardand transcend what theythink they are capable of.

“High school kids needto learn what hard work is,”Specht said.

“Once that’s done, it’sabout teaching them tobreak the glass ceiling andgo above and beyond wherethey think they can go.”

On the Bombers

By Chris [email protected]

The Winton Woods HighSchool football team alreadyhas given new head coachAndre Parker plenty of con-fidence heading into the2010 season.

Being defending statechampions will do that.

“We’re not going tochange a thing with ourprogram,” said Parker, a1999 Winton Woods gradu-ate. “We’re going to keepmoving in the same direc-tion we were movingbefore. The biggest thing wewere able to do was get thewhole coaching staff back.”

Winton Woods downedMaple Heights 42-12 in theDivision II state champi-onship during former coachTroy Everhart’s final seasonwith the program last year.He helped the Warriors fin-ish 13-2 before heading tothe University of Cincinnati.Everhart coached for 11seasons at Winton Woods.

Winton Woods lost only

to Division I teams Moellerand Anderson last season.

“The kids believe, andthey’ve taken a step for-

ward as far as moving on,”Parker said.

The Warriors graduatedtheir main threat from 2009– their running backs. Twoof those players were Jere-miah Goins, who rushed for2,141 yards and 24 touch-downs, and DominiqueBrown, who logged 1,998yards and 32 touchdowns.

“Each year is going to bedifferent,” Parker said. “Ofcourse your job as a high

school coach is to fit to yourpersonnel. We have similarkids coming through year inand year out. The nameshave changed, but hopeful-ly that’s all that changedthis year. Each player is alittle bit different, but that’sexpected.”

The Warriors are youngon both sides of the ball.They’ll return eight playerson defense and three onoffense.

Senior Thomas Owenswill take the snaps at quar-terback. Owens has seenplenty of starting actionthroughout his career atWinton Woods.

Junior Aaron Kemper,who recently broke the pro-gram’s squat record, will bethe Warriors’ main runningback.

“We are a very youngoffense, but as far as beingyoung, we are very athlet-ic,” Parker said. “Cominginto the season and duringthe summer, we believe ouroffense will click at around(week) 3 or 4. We’ve pro-gressed really well.”

Parker said the defense issupposed to be the team’sstrongest asset.

“They know their expec-tations,” Parker said of hisdefense. “They’re talentedand they know how to lead.They’ve been around lead-ers.”

Parker said to keep aneye on Anderson, which notonly beat Winton Woodsbut also won the FortAncient Valley ConferenceBuckeye a season ago.

“We need to continue todo the things we work on,”Parker said. “My mindsetright now is keeping theteam together and keepingthem focused. Our goal is tostay where we are or getabove that.”

Following a 5-5 season in

2009, Grippa and the senior-heavy Lancers are hopingfor big things, starting withan improved record, this fall.

“I like my team this yearand I like our schedule,”

Grippa said. “It’s tough but itcould be a good Harbin (Rat-ing) year for us.”

Ohio’s Harbin Ratings is acomputer rating system usedto determine playoff quali-fiers and seeds for the post-season.

La Salle’s difficult sched-ule starts with a serious testin week one with a homegame at noon Saturday,Aug. 28, against LakotaWest (9-2, 7-0).

Lakota West was a Divi-sion I playoff team in 2009and are the defending co-champions of the GreaterMiami Conference alongsideColerain (8-2, 7-0)

“We will find out howgood we are real quick,”Grippa said.

However, Grippa isexpecting to see fireworksfrom the start from his expe-rienced offense, he said.

Kummer led the GreaterCatholic League with 1,863yards as a junior while com-pleting 153-of-298 passeswith 14 touchdowns and 11interceptions. Standing at 6-foot-3, Kummer also rushedfor 204 yards on 87 carrieswhile scoring four touch-downs on the ground.

“Drew has really improveda lot and he’s grown up quitea bit. He is way better than hewas last year,” Grippa said ofKummer. “We have a seniorquarterback and that’s alwaysa good place to start for lead-ership.

“We have a very goodreceiving corps, and I’mexcited because all thoseguys are great athletes,”Grippa added.

La Salle’s receiving corpsis led by senior receiversMatt Woeste and RodriguezColeman and tight end BrettWiebell.

Woeste hauled in 35receptions for 634 yards andfive touchdowns as a juniorwith Coleman close behindat 30 receptions, 466 yardsand six touchdowns.

Also returning on offenseare third-year starting sen-iors Matt Farrell, a runningback, and Jessie Back, aguard. Back is verbally com-mitted to Buffalo with Kum-

mer verbally committed toMiami University.

“Our offense has beenlooking sharp early,” Grippasaid. “We struggled onoffense the last few years butnow those kids are seniorsand they are ready to go.”

Defensively, senior leadersBen Ingle (SS/OLB) and JaysonBresnen (MLB) are joined byfellow returning seniors KyleHerth (DE), Andy Brown(MLB) and Zack Cox (CB).

Ingle is verbally commit-ted to Ball State.

“They have a lot of emo-tion and fire. It’s the rightattitude to play defense at LaSalle,” Grippa said. “Theyare always prepared and wehave a lot of tough kids ondefense this year.”

As for the always toughGCL South Division, three ofLa Salle’s final four gamesthis fall are against St.

Xavier (Oct. 8), Moeller (Oct.15) and Elder (Oct. 29).

All three of La Salle’s GCLSouth Division rivals madethe playoffs in 2009 includ-ing St. Xavier (9-3, 3-0),Moeller (9-2, 2-1) and the10-3 Elder squad whichmade a run to the Division Istate semi-finals.

“All four teams are prettytough again. Moeller has alot of talent coming back, St.X has some great linebackersand Elder is a little young butthey have a huge offensiveline,” Grippa said. “Matchingup against those teams forus is going to be about ourathletes versus their size.

“I think we will have areal chance. This is a specialgroup and I really love theseseniors. They have paid theprice to be champions,” Grip-pa added.

The Mount Healthy Fight-ing Owls will use the 2010season to prove that lastyear’s 7-4 record and ensu-ing playoff berth was nofluke.

“I think teams feel like last

year was luck for us, andthey feel like since we lostsome seniors that we’re notgoing to be able to get wherewe were last year, butthey’ve got a whole otherthing coming,” middle line-backer Desmond Burton said.“We’re trying to work hardevery day and we’re looking

better than I thought.”If the Fighting Owls are to

return to win the FortAncient Valley Conferenceand return to the post sea-son, Burton will be one ofmany impact players to leadthe way.

On offense, quarterbackDenzel Larkin will be undercenter for Mount Healthy.Larkin will look to build off the2009 season in which hecompleted 43 of 111 passingattempts. He was also a threatto run with the ball and rushedfor 608 yards and seventouchdowns on 124 carries.

“Denzel is a great kid witha good head on his shouldersand is very mature when itcomes to football,” FightingOwls coach Arvie Crouchsaid. “He doesn’t need to dotoo much; he just needs staywithin himself.”

Larkin should get plentyof more opportunities to carrythe ball because Crouch plansto give opposing defenses astrong dose of the runninggame.

“I’m a run guy,” Crouchsaid. “I like to control thegame. As a former offensiveline coach and now a headcoach, I know what kind ofdamage an offensive line canto do demoralizing a team. If

you can control the ball, itdoes a lot of things for youand puts a lot of things atyour advantage.”

The offensive game plansmeans that senior runningback Tracey Barnes will gethis fair share of carries aswell. Last season, the seniorrushed for 433 yards on 74attempts, which averagedout to 5.9 yards per carry.

Jemiah Tolbart will com-plement Barnes in the back-field. At 6 feet 2 inches and250 pounds, Tolbart is a“pound-the-ball” type run-ning back, while Barnes isquicker and more versatile.

One of the guys clearingthe way for Barnes and Tol-bart will be left tackle MontezLee. The lineman said hecan’t wait to spring his team-mates for six points.

“It feels great when theyscore a touchdown, especial-

ly when I’m running downthe sideline with them,” hesaid.

When the Fighting Owls dodrop back to pass, the squadwill have Brent Gray and VinceTurnage to haul in passes.

Described as “speedreceivers,” the Fighting Owlshope the duo will be able tomake plays after catching theball.

On defense, Arvie wel-comes back only fourstarters, but doesn’t believethere has been a significantdrop off in talent.

“At this point, I thinkwe’re better than we werelast year, but we’re veryinexperienced. We just got tokeep playing hard, practicinghard and learning.”

Burton will help call playsin his first season at middlelinebacker. It’s a role he rel-ishes after switching to thedefensive side of the ball lastseason to play outside line-backer after playing runningback the year before last.

“I feel like I’ve got to stepup more this year to be a bet-ter leader and that’s what I’mtrying to do,” he said. “I likethe leadership challenge; it’sgetting me ready for the nextlevel. I’ve never played themiddle linebacker position

before, so stepping up andcalling plays for the defenseis a bigger role for me and Ilike that.”

Burton will be accompaniedon defense in the secondary bySedique Manard and TyrellHines, while Zach Finnell andJoel Heath, who recently gavea verbal commitment to Michi-gan State University, shoulddistract a lot of blockers on thedefensive line.

As for returning to theplayoffs and improving uponlast year’s 41-6 loss to Trot-wood-Madison High School,Lee has a simple message.

“Just look out for us,” hesaid. “We’ve got a target onour back now.”

Arvie is also optimistic.“We’ve got some high

expectations after going tothe playoffs last year,” hesaid. “I think we have a goodprogram installed and we’restill building, but I think wecan win some games.”

SIDELINES


The North College HillHigh School football teamwill return almost everystarter for the 2010 cam-paign as the Trojans try to

match lasty e a r ’ saccomplish-ments byrunning thetable in theMiami ValleyConference.

The Tro-jans only

lost five members of its ros-ter to graduation from lastyear’s class and are lookingfor this season’s seniors toplay a big role in the team’ssuccess.

“We feel excited aboutthis season,” Trojan coach

Bruce Baarendse said.“Summer workouts havebeen great, and we certainlylost some good players fromlast year’s team, but we feellike we have some youngerkids that are ready for primetime.”

One player expected tocontribute for the Trojansthis season is reigning Hill-top Press Sportsman of theYear Dakota Dartis, who isentering his third as astarter.

As a junior, Dartis threwfor 1,788 yards and 21touchdowns. He rushed for692 yards and five touch-downs as well.

“Dakota’s a specialleader; you could tell he wasa leader when he was in theseventh grade,” Baarendsesaid. “This is his team andwe have a great senior classto go along side him. It’stheir year now.”

Another senior expectedto make plays for the Tro-jans is Jelan Render. Render,who plays running backand defensive back, will bea focal point of the offense.

“He’s our playmaker andthe guy who can score anytime he touches the ball,”Baarendse said. “We’ll try toget the ball to him as muchas we can.”

Also running the ball willbe seniors Robert Shannonand Yeremiah Hawkins.Both backs are on thewrestling team and are fastand strong, according toBaarendse.

The Trojans will alsoshowcase some capablewide receivers in the pass-ing game.

Junior Vincent Edwardwill lead the receiving corps,in addition to his duties atlinebacker.

Baarendse, who is in his27th year at NCH, believesEdwards could have astandout season after catch-ing 18 balls for 267 yardsand three touchdowns as asophomore last season.

“I expect him to have abreakout year at widereceiver,” he said. “I expectbigger numbers this year.

He’s looked fantastic in ourscrimmages this summer.”

Greg Sevilla will alsoplay significant time at widereceiver despite never play-ing football before this sea-son. Sevilla is a decoratedathlete in the basketballprogram, but Baarendse isglad to have him on thegridiron.

“He’s a very talentedathlete, and we wereextremely glad when heshowed up for football prac-tice. He’s still learning, buthe’s really stating to catchonto things,” Baarendsesaid. “He’ s just a naturalwhen it comes to runningroutes, he has big timepotential.

The Trojans will also beaided this season by thereturn of the entire offensiveline.

Anchoring the trencheswill be Anthony Griffin andGlenn James. Both linemen

are 6 feet, 3 inches tall, andweigh around 270 pounds.

The pair started as soph-omores last season.

“Big things are expectedof them,” Baarendse said.“If they continue to workhard, both could be playingin college.”

Junior Savon McFarland,who has started since hewas a freshman, willresume his role at center.The offensive line is round-ed out by Brandon Jamesand Everett Howard atguard.

The offensive line willplay a critical role in helpingthe Trojans establish therunning game inBaarendse’s spread offense.

On defense, the Trojanswill lose its leading tackler,Mac Acus. Acus was injuredduring summer workoutsand will be lost for the sea-son.

The Trojans will try to fill

the void on defense by get-ting big contributions fromlinebackers Aaron Wilsonand Ramir Hollis.

Malcomb Stiffend willtake Acus’ place.

“At 6 feet, 4 inches tall,and 240 pounds, he’s avery good defensive line-man. We’re expecting a bigyear from Malcomb, butwe’ll certainly miss Mac,”Baarendse said.

If the Trojans reach thepostseason, Acus, a senior,could be well enough totake the field.

However, to achievetheir playoff goals, membersof the NCH roster will haveto respond to the difficultiesthat come with success.

“When you go 10-0 inthe regular season withmost of your starters com-ing back, I think there ispressure on the team to dothe same thing,” Baarendsesaid.

“Last year was very spe-cial, but this is a brand newteam and it’s going to bespecial also. I just want theteam to enjoy the journeyand not put too much pres-sure on themselves – justplay hard and let things fallas they may.”

Finneytown High Schoolwill usher in the DarrynChenault era when theWildcats take the field Aug.27 against Northwest.

The new head coachknows the program hassome rebuilding pains togrow through, and is start-ing the process by helpinghis players focus on the lit-tle things they need to do toimprove.

“You’ve got to make sureyou set small goals in order

to get to the big goals,”Chenault said. “We need tobe consistent and have agood work ethic in prac-tice...if we can get that stuffdone, we’ll be right therewith the rest of the teams inthe conference.”

The teams Chenault sin-gled out include Wyoming,Indian Hill and Mariemont.

“The kids have and wantto be league champions,” hesaid. “They know they aregoing to have to put in a lotof work because thoseteams are the teams to beat,and we want to be thereright with them.”

After finishing last yearwith a 1-9 record, the 2010campaign will be a learningexperience for many of thekids on the Wildcats’ rosterbecause a number of theplayers don’t have a lot ofexperience playing football.

Of the returning players,the Wildcats have severalathletes who can make animpact.

The cornerstone of theWildcats’ offense is righttackle Donavon Clark. Clarkis a highly recruited collegetalent that is expected to dobig things for Finneytownthis season.

“Donavan’s our bulldoz-er,” Chenault said. “We’regoing to set up and do a lotof things behind him.”

One of the teammatesClark will block for is quar-terback C.J. Manual.

Chenault believes Manu-al, a senior, possesses theability to guide a teamthrough its ups and downs.

“He’s a great leader andthose are the expectationswe have for him, to lead usdown the field.”

Chenault believes Manu-al can get the Wildcats’ air-

attack going by makingplays out of the spread for-mation.

“C.J.’s got a nice arm anda good group of receivers tothrow the ball to,” he said.

Kenny Covington andChris Bryant are expected tobe Manual’s main targets.The two seniors have goodhands and run disciplinedroutes, according toChenault.

If the passing game isn’tworking, Chenault won’thesitant to run the ballbehind Clark, who measures

6 feet, 4 inches and 295pounds.

“If worse comes to worst,we’re going to run the ballbehind that big offensivetackle we have,” Chenaultsaid.

The Wildcats won’t havea featured running back thisseason. Chenault willinstead use a running-back-by-committee to attack onthe ground because of inex-perience at the position.

On defense, the Finney-town will play the 50defense. In this formation,five defensive linemen arejoined by two linebackers.

Chenault favors thisdefense because it isdesigned to stop teams whorun the ball a lot.

“In high school football,you’ve got to be able to stopthe run,” he said. “I know acouple of teams will line upin the spread offense, but

will still call a lot of runningplays geared through thatformation.”

Clark will also anchor thedefensive line, but he’ll beaided by senior linebackerRashad Crump, who hadtwo sacks in seven gameslast season.

Oshea Jackson will alsojoin the Wildcats’ defense asan outside linebacker.Described as big and physi-cal, Jackson will also playright guard on offense. He isexpected to contribute,despite not having a lot offootball experience, accord-ing to Chenault.

The Wildcats will havetheir work cut out for themin the Cincinnati HillsLeague, but Chenaultbelieves the team can com-pete by staying within them-selves and building off theprogress made by the Wild-cats’ former head coach.

“We’re going to look tocontrol the game, controlthe ball, and play Finney-town football,” Chenaultsaid. “We haven’t had suc-cess as far as wins go, butShane Hartley has done agreat job of preparing thesekids to be successful, andI’m just picking up where heleft off.”

Roger Bacon HighSchool’s football team ishoping its senior leadershipwill help it rebound from adisappointing 2009 season,a season that saw the Spar-tans go just 1-6 in GreaterCatholic League play andfinish with a 2-8 overallrecord.

Head coach Kevin Huxelis hoping a senior-ladensquad will help the Spartansto their first winning season

since 2005.“We’ve got experience

on the offensive and defen-sive lines and at receiver,which will really help,”Huxel said.

Headlining that seniortalent are receiver/defensiveback Mike Jackson and

offensive tackle Ryan Von-derhaar. Both players aregarnering interest from sev-eral collegiate programs,although neither hasreceived a scholarship offer.

Joining Jackson and Von-derhaar are senior line-backer Luke Fiorini, seniorwideouts Will Farrell andBrian Bien and senior quar-terback Tanner Sprong, whosaw some action last yearas a junior.

Roger Bacon faces atough schedule in 2010,facing seven GCL opponentsincluding back-to-backdefending Division IV statechampions Alter. Huxelanticipates his squad to fin-ish third in the GCL Centraldivision, behind favoritesBadin and McNicholas.

However,Huxel seespotential forthe Spartansto do betterthan expect-ed, but a faststart will bevital.

“ T h echallenge isgetting off toa good startand keepingfaith thatthey can bea real goodt e a m , ”Huxel said.

Other highlights on theschedule include an Oct. 7game at McNicholas, anOct. 15 home matchupagainst Badin, and an Oct.22 game at Alter.

Despite that challengingschedule, Huxel’s goals for

the Spartans remain lofty,with making the playoffs asthe ultimate goal.

“You always hope to goundefeated at home, win

the league, and make theplayoffs,” Huxel said. “Ithink our kids are capable ofa good year, but we need agood start.”

Rucker, who has playedin the NFL with the Red-skins, Cardinals and Ben-gals, isn’t thinking aboutwhat happened in the past.Instead, the first-year Aikencoach is focused on layingthe groundwork for a com-petitive football program.

Heading into the season,Rucker is staying positiveand setting goals that somemight think are attainablefor the program.

“I would like to go 5-5this season,” he said. “Somepeople look at that as ahuge feat, but I don’t.”

There are a number ofplayers on the Aiken rosterwho haven’t played footballbefore. Rucker believes withthe proper instruction, theFalcons can attain the goal.

“We’ve got a lot ofteaching to do,” Ruckersaid. “There are a lot of badhabits that were built overthe years that we need totear down so we can buildsome new, good habits.”

Teaching fundamentalsand a strong work ethic iswhere Rucker is gettingstarted.

“We’re trying to put ablueprint down for what ittakes to win, and we’ve gotsome pretty harsh conse-quences for guys who can’tcommit to [the team],” hesaid.

Six players have already

been dismissed this season,leaving Aiken with 25 kidson its roster.

“In order to do what wewant to do, we need to havekids we can count on,”Rucker said.

Rucker believes thoseplayers exist and that manyof the remaining playersmake for a solid team core.

One of those players isJames Brown. Described as“Mr. Versatile” by Rucker,Brown will see action atquarterback, wide receiverand running back in Aiken’sspread offense this season.

“He’s one of those guyswho has the ability to do allthe things we’re asking ofhim,” Rucker said. “He’s a

strong leader, if he works toreach his potential, he couldplay at the next level.”

At 6-feet-tall, Brownbrings good form and fun-damentals to the team,according to Rucker.

When Brown is busymaking plays at the otherskill positions, BrandonWilliams will be taking thesnaps at quarterback.

Williams, who is only asophomore, needs toimprove his decision mak-ing, according to Rucker.

“He’s showed some goodsigns, but he makes baddecision here and there,”Rucker said. “He needs tominimize [the errors hemakes].”

The Falcons should alsoget contributions from Kion-ta Early at wide receiver, aswell as his younger brother,Deonte.

Deonte could get signifi-cant time at the runningback position as a freshmanin addition to action in thesecondary on defense.

“Deonte has good speedand strength, especially fora freshman,” Rucker said.“He has a lot of raw talentand being so young, we’retrying to teach him theproper way to play.”

Clearing holes for theskill-position players will beRobert Gully, who willanchor both the offensiveand defensive line for theFalcons. At 6 feet, 5 inchesand 280 pounds, Gullycould give opponents a wor-thy fight in the trenches.

“He has the physicalpackage, and if he can getthe mental package and hiswork ethic together, we’llhave something special inRobert,” Rucker said.

On defense, Aiken couldsuffer a key loss if AnthonyDodds elects to have shoul-der surgery. Dodds is also abaseball standout at Aiken.

Despite Dodds’ status,Rucker knows that the Fal-cons could be hurt by nothaving a dominant play-maker on defense. Rucker istrying to fix this problem byinstituting a “gang-tackling,swarming type of defense.”

“We don’t really have aguy that stands out as a bighitter, but we have a nicegroup of guys who all playwell together,” he said.

Even if Aiken can’t win alot of games this season, themembers of the squadshould improve because of

the experience on thecoaching staff.

Rucker assistants includeprevious head coaches suchas Steve Brogden (WalnutHills) and Ty Copeland(Summit Country Day).

“We’re from all overCincinnati and we’re tryingto put this puzzle together,”Rucker said.

Rucker has known Brog-den for 21 years, datingback to their college days.Rucker has knownCopeland since he retiredfrom the NFL after the 1997season. Brogden andCopeland went to schooltogether at Walnut Hills.

The friendships, mixedwith football, set a goodexample for Aiken players,according to Rucker.

“There’s a lot of connec-tions,” Rucker said. “Wehave a lot of camaraderie asa coaching staff and we’retrying to build on that so thekids understand how impor-tant building life-long rela-tionships are.”
