TATE TWP. — The federalgovernment has allocated anadditional $14.8million to bat-tle the Asian longhorned bee-tle in Clermont County, theU.S. Department of Agricul-ture announced Aug. 7.

“The additional funds willallow for an increased effortin fighting the beetle and helpprevent the beetle fromspreading to surroundingareas,” Agriculture Secre-tary Tom Vilsack said in astatement.

The money will fund in-creased tree inspection sur-veys to determine how far theinsect has spread, and ensurethe timely removal of infes-ted trees, the USDA said.Since the tree-killing insectwas discovered in Tate Town-ship in June 2011, 146,620trees have been surveyed and8,489 infested trees havebeen removed.

In fiscal year 2011, the fed-eral government spent about$5.2million onbeetle eradica-tionwork inClermontCounty,a USDA spokeswoman said.

Bill Skvarla, a Tate Town-ship resident and leader of acitizens group that has beenat odds with the USDA, saidthe announcement was a stepin the right direction. “Final-ly, we’re starting to see com-parable funding like (the US-DA) has (allocated) in previ-ous infestations in this coun-try.”

“Hopefully we can getthe work under way soon,”Gunn said.

The Burke funds alsowill be used to pay for thechemical treatment oftrees at Burke Park thathavenot been infestedwiththe beetle.

The work already hasbeen performed by BackTree Service of Cincinnati,said Fiscal Officer Bill Gil-pin.

He said the village isseeking the money fromthe Burke Trust to coverthe cost. Gunn said thetreatment of trees in thepark cost about $7,000.

The U.S. Department ofAgriculture is consideringchemical treatment as apossible alternative to cut-ting down healthy treeswithin a half mile of infes-ted trees in Tate Townshipand Bethel.

Crews working for theUSDAhave cut down infes-ted trees inBurkePark andelsewhere in thevillagebutare reviewing commentson an environmental as-sessment before making adecision on how to proceedwith healthy trees.

Villageofficialsdecidedto go ahead and treat thehealthy trees at the park asa precaution.

DODGING RAINDROPS

It was raining Aug. 9 as Jaidden Trees of Bethel left the Bethel branch of theClermont County Library on her bicycle. JOHN SENEY/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

BATAVIA — ClermontCounty commissionersAug. 15 approved the useof a new Internet auctionsite for selling surplus ve-hicles.

The surplus vehicleswill be sold throughwww.propertyroom.com,based in Frederick, Md.

Jennifer Morgan, anadministrative supportcoordinator for the coun-ty's fleet maintenance di-vision, said in the past sur-plus vehicles were soldthrough www.govdeal-s.com.

Using govdeals.com

was labor intensive for thecounty because countyworkers had to take photo-graphs of the vehicles anddeal with interested buy-ers, she said.

Morgan said property-room.com, which has anoffice in the Cincinnatiarea, will take the photo-graphs of the vehicles anddeal with buyers.

“It’s much more effi-cient,” said Steve Rabolt,county administrator.

Commissioner EdHumphrey said using In-ternet sales to dispose ofsurplus items has resultedin a significant savings tothe county.

Morgan said working

with propertyroom.comshould result in increasedrevenue for the county.

The agreement withpropertyroom.comwill befor a six-month trial peri-od with automatic renew-als for one-year terms af-ter that.

The auction site willcharge a12.5 percent com-mission on each unit sold,with commissions to bededucted from the saleprice.

Lisa Gatwood, directorof the Clermont Transpor-tationConnection, said theauction site will be used tosell cars, trucks and busesno longer needed by thecounty.

A recent drowning atWilliamH.HarshaLakehasofficials getting moreproactive about keepingswimmers safe.

The incident occurredJuly 31 and park rangers atEast Fork State Park havebeen working to get theword out about taking pre-cautions when enjoying thepark and lake.

Park Ranger Linda Ro-mine said while the July 31drowning has the park fo-cusingonwatersafety,Har-sha Lake hasn’t seen a highamount of drowning inci-dents. However, she saidit’s important to “expect theunexpected.”

The lake has two swim-ming beaches, and Rominesaid most drowning inci-dents occur “when swim-mers are outside of the des-ignated areas.”

Part of the danger inswimming in non-swim-ming areas is lake’s waterlevel fluctuates to unex-pected depths, which cantake swimmers by sur-prise.

“It’s just not a level orgraded area like at theswimming beaches,” Ro-mine said. “The water levelchanges and it may not bewhat you expect it to be.”

Romine said many who

eitherdrownorhavenearlydrowned in the lake didn’tintend on entering the wa-ter that day. She said wear-ing apersonal floatationde-vice could prevent many ofthese accidents from be-coming fatal.

If park visitors seesomeone struggling, Ro-mine said to remember asimplephrasepark rangerstell students: “reach, throw,don’t go.”

She said the person onthe shore should look forsomething that floats totoss to the person in thewa-ter, but shouldn’t attempt torescue the person if theyaren’t a strong swimmer.

Romine said someone

who’s struggling to stayafloat is likely to panic andpull a rescuer under, unlessthat person is trained indealing with drowningswimmers.

Jim O’Boyle, park man-ager, said thousands dieacross the country eachyear due to drowning. Hesaidbydrawingattention tothe recent drowning and hehopes to prevent furthertragedies.

Thebestwaytostaysafeis also perhaps themost ob-vious. O’Boyle said beforeentering the water, peopleshould know how to swim.

“Returning home safelyshould be everyone’s toppriority,” O’Boyle said.

Safety a priority at Harsha LakeBy Rob [email protected]

East Fork State Park Ranger Linda Romine said a recentdrowning has put more focus on water safety at WilliamH. Harsha Lake. She said wearing a personal floatationdevice is just one way to prevent disasters on the water.ROB DOWDY/ THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Three generations of leadershipIn the fall of 2011, I was cho-

sen by my high school to partici-pate in the LOOK to ClermontLeadership Program. LOOK toClermont is a leadership devel-opment program for high schoolstudents that identifies anddevelops the leadership skills ofstudents throughout ClermontCounty. The mission of LOOK toClermont is “Preparing Tomor-row’s Leaders Today.”

While I participated in theprogram in 2012, I was proudlyfollowing in the footsteps of myfather Mike Mantel who is a2005 LEAD Clermont graduateand my grandfather TomMantelwho is a 2002 LIVE Clermontgraduate. All three LEAD,LOOK to Clermont and LIVEprograms were initiated by theClermont 2001Committee,which then evolved into Cler-mont 20/20 Inc. Youth, adultsand seniors all focused on differ-ent age groups within ClermontCounty with a common goal inmind. Over the years these pro-

grams havechanged in oneway or another,but the mission

for all three programs remainthe same: To identify, train,involve and recognize currentand future leaders in ClermontCounty.

As the 2012 class came to anend and graduation day arrived,my family was present for theceremony. While we did realizethat we had three generations inattendance for the day, what wedidn’t realize was that we werethe first three-generation familyto complete these programs.

Even though three genera-tions frommy family completedthe programs, we each tookaway something different fromthe other. For myself, I steppedout of my comfort zone. Ilearned to work in a team thatexists off the athletic field. Ibecame friends with other stu-dents who in the past were myopponents and can now lean on

them to build future friendships.My father, Mike Mantel, said

“Over the year-long process Ienjoyed the variety of lessons Ilearned about my community as

well the leadership and teambuilding activities. Most of all, Itook away from the program agroup of friends and colleaguesthat have proven to be a valu-

able network of associates.”TomMantel, my grandfather,

said, “I went through the pro-gram shortly before I retired,looking for volunteer opportuni-ties. Now that I am fully retiredI have found more than enoughmeaningful activities to keepmyself busy.”

I would like to thank the staffof The Ohio State UniversityExtension Office, UC ClermontCollege and Clermont North-eastern High School for allow-ing me to participate in the pro-gram. In the fall I will be attend-ing Marshall University where Iwill be studying public relationsand business management. As Imove forward with my collegeeducation, I know that the les-sons learned in the LOOK toClermont program will benefitme in ways I can’t even fullyunderstand yet.

Sarah Mantel is a 2012 graduateof the Look to Clermont program.The 2012-2013 Look to Clermont

class began meeting Aug. 11.

In 1814, the White House andour Capitol building wereburned by an invading army,President Madison and hisfamily fled Washington, and itappeared that the nation wasabout to be wiped off the newlydrawn maps just 30 years afterit had won independence fromGreat Britain.

We would not again experi-ence such an assault on ourcapital for 187 years, whenterrorists attacked the Penta-gon with an airliner filled withjet fuel and innocent civilians.

Fortunately, our young na-tion could rely upon men suchas Major General William Hen-ry Harrison of Hamilton Coun-ty, who commanded all U.S.forces in Ohio and the sur-rounding territories againstBritish troops and their Indianallies. After being recognizedas a national hero, Harrisonwould become the first Ohioan

elected presi-dent.

The bicen-tennial of theWar of 1812 isworth noting,and the lessonslearned in the12th Congressare worth re-memberingnow, in the

112th Congress. In that war, welearned (the hard way) aboutthe need for a strong nationaldefense - we had a dozen war-ships, while Great Britain hadhundreds - and about the impor-tance of being prepared beforethe fight begins.

The Budget Control Act of2011 requires the Office ofManagement and Budget(OMB) to make across-the-board spending reductions ofabout $110 billion per year be-ginning Jan. 2, 2013. These cuts,

along with cuts already put inplace, mean we will be spend-ing $1 trillion less on our na-tion’s defense over the next 10years.

Such cuts could be devas-tating to our national defense.According to the House ArmedServices Committee, $1 trillionin defense cuts would lead tothe loss of 100,000 more mil-itary personnel, giving us thesmallest ground force since1940, the smallest naval fleetlevel since 1915, and the small-est tactical fighter force in theAir Force’s history. The com-mittee also estimates that thesecuts would erode our techno-logical advantage, cause severedamage to our defense industri-al base, and lead to the loss ofmore than 1million private-sector jobs.

“I have (emerald ash borer).What can I do as a homeown-er?”

This seems to be the mostcommon question at this time.Clermont County unfortunatelyis invaded with two differenttypes of insects that affect thevery nature of our environ-ment, our trees.

Emerald ash borer (EAB)and Asian longhorned beetle(ALB) are two different crea-tures and different in how theyattack trees. Yes they both liketrees and both like ash trees,but ALB hosts on 13 differentkinds of trees and make its wayinto the heartwood. Where EABonly host on ash trees and bu-ries its way just under the barkor cambium layer. Both aredetrimental for the tree.

First, visit The Ohio StateUniversity Extension OutreachEducation Program for EABlocated at: ashalert.osu.edu/Secondary/secondary.asp?id=20. There are

multiple facetsof informationon what to doand how to youhomeownersneeding guid-ance with EAB.

Second, beextremelycautious ofindividuals orcompanies who

“stop by” and tell you that EABis present and they can help.

Local arborists and theirassociates should not be solic-iting business in this manner;there are enough tree issues tokeep them busy without solici-tation. OSU Extension encour-ages you to visitwww.isa-arbor.com/faca/ fin-dArborist.aspx to locate anInternational Society of Arbori-culture Certified business thatyou can work with and youknow is a reputable company.

Lastly, unfortunately there isno government, state, county or

local programs to assist in theremoval of EAB infested trees.This does come as a propertyowner’s expense.

If for some reason you be-lieve you have ALB, contact theUSDA ALB Ohio Field Officeimmediately at 513-381-7180 orOSUE Clermont County exten-sion 13 at 513-732-7070. Moreinformation and resources canbe found atwww.clermont.osu.edu orwww.beetlebusters.info.

Two pests, lots of questions

Gigi NealCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Aug. 15 questionDo you agree or disagree

with the Boy Scouts of Ameri-ca's policy banning gay scoutsand troop leaders?Why orwhynot?

“I am in complete agree-ment with the Boy Scout policynot to accept openly gay volun-teers. National surveys con-tinue to show that many Amer-icans believe that sex outsideof heterosexual marriage issinful and immoral, ashasbeenthe case across most culturesfor thousands of years. (Manyof them continue to crowd intoChick-fil-A.)

“The Boy Scouts' policy as-sures the many parents whohold that belief that their mor-al values will not be under-mined when their boys partici-pate in scouting. Those whodisagree can start their ownor-ganization.

“The Boy Scouts' position isprotected by the First Amend-ment's protections of freedomof religion, speech, and assem-bly.

“Interestingly, the GirlScouts have no such problemwith gay volunteers and in facthave a record of actively pro-moting same sex relationshipsand other feminist positions.Fortunately, conservative par-ents have a viable alternativein the American HeritageGirls.”

T.H.

“I totally disagree with theBoy Scouts of America ban-

ning gay scout and troop lead-ers. Come on....it's 2012 and it'sAmerica, the melting pot of allraces, ethnicities, ages, gen-ders, faith traditions, coun-tries of origin and lifestylepreferences.

“How can the Boy Scoutsban any one from being a vol-unteer scout or troop leader?It's un-American!

“This year, I made sure thatnot one cent of my United Waydonation went to the BoyScouts. Parent alert....get yourboys out of the Boy Scouts un-less you want them to grow upto be bigots and racists.

E.E.C.

“Personally, I disagree withthe policy. I think it is unfortu-nate that there are still peopleand organizations that feel theneed to discriminate.

“However, this country wasfounded on principles that giveprivate groups the right to ex-ercise free speech and reli-gion, so therefore I supporttheir right tomake this policy.”

BETHEL — Sometimes theanswer lies just around thecor-ner.

That’s what Bethel-TateHighSchool’s administration ishoping for as long-time Bethelresident Bill Jenike takes overthe reigns of the Tiger footballteam.

Foryears, Jenikehas loggedthe miles to other football jobsat St. Xavier, Western Brown,Walnut Hills, Lakota West andto Mariemont High School thelast 13 seasons.

“We always scrimmagedthem at Mariemont and whatwe noticed as a staff is that thekids would really hit and run totheball andwere really excitedabout playing football,” Jenikesaid. “I don’t think the last twoyears indicates the talent thatwe have. I think we’re going tohave a good season.”

Statistically, they can’t domuch worse. Bethel-Tate’s lastgridiron victory was nearlytwo years ago (Sept. 10, 14-9over Goshen). Since then, it’sbeen 17 straight in the “L” col-umn including last year’s 0-10.

It’s the challenge of all chal-lenges for Jenike,who coachedunder Steve Rasso in themid-1980s at St. Xavier whentheoffensivecoordinatorwasayoung formerUCBearcat (likeJenike) named Urban Meyer.He also coached with KerryCoombs at Lakota West, wholater put Colerain on the map,went to UC and is now at OhioState with Meyer.

“We have to change the cul-ture inside out,” Jenike said ofturning theTigers around. “It’stheweightroom,theworkethicand doing what a successfulprogram has to do. I’ve sur-rounded myself with some

great coaches. Our numbersare a little small this year but Ithink with what kids we have,we have to be in condition tocompete.”

To boost those numbers, Je-nikeneeds to increase thenum-ber of kids at the youth footballand junior high levels. Obvi-ously, winning would changethings. For now, Bethel-Tatehas the reality of good, old-fashioned two-way footballplayers.

“Every day I might get onemore kid,” Jenike said as prac-tice began in late July. “I ex-pected around 43 and we’re at33 now. We have to have a JVprogram. That’s important forour success.”

Tomakematters evenmoreinteresting, Bethel-Tate lost ju-niors Layne Cherry and ZachRileytoMiamiValleyChristianAcademy in Newtown. Cherrywas last year’s starting quar-terback.

Taking over behind centerfor the Tigers this fall is sopho-

more Allen Haave.“He’s a smart kid and will-

ing to learn,” Jenike said ofHaave. “He’s improved im-mensely.”

Behind Haave are fullbackJon Ward and halfbacks BlaceHaviland and Austin Iker. Infrontof thoserunnersaresomebig linemen, including 6-foot-3,270-pound B.J. Roa, who ex-pects to plow some holes.

“We (staff) came from apassing league and this is pre-dominately a running league,”

Jenike said.To make the most of their

talent, Jenike will operate outof the Wing-T formation. InClermont County, Glen Estehas run the offense religiously.

Attendancehasalwaysbeengood at Bethel-Tate games andJenike looks to find the endzone enough times to keepbringing people back.He’s alsoadding some other artillery forgood measure.

“They’re going to bring thecannon guy back,” Jenike said.

“Mr. Burns used to shoot thecannon off when they scored.We told the kids he’s comingback and they’re excited. Weplan on putting points on theboard.”

Jenikewas on the other sideof the field for the last two Be-thel-Tate openers which werelosses toMariemont. His debutwithas theTigersheadcoach isAug. 24 at LandmarkChristian,with the first home game Aug.31 against Fayetteville Perry.

Because of the past two sea-sons, he assumes Bethel-Tatewill be underestimated.

“Everybody thinks we’rethe doormat,” Jenike said. “Wewant to let everybody knowthat we’re going to competeand we’re going to be tough,disciplined and do it right.We’re going towin somegamesthis year.”

Bulldogs bringexperience totable

BATAVIA — Call the footballteam at BataviaHigh School a lotof things, but don’t call it inexpe-rienced.

The Bulldogs return ninestarters on offense and seven ondefense from a team that went2-8 last season. As a result, sec-ond-year head coach Don Sizerbelieves the win total should im-prove significantly.

“That’s probably going to beourmain strength as we start theseason, experience,” he said.“What’s going to be important ishowweuse it.Wereally shouldn’thave a lot of mental errors outthere.”

No less than seven playershave experience on the offensiveline, including seniors BrodyBrowning, Nate Johnson, DevinMentzel, Dakota Norman andWilliamsburg High School trans-ferMikePosey, aswell as juniorsWyatt Jackson and Patrick Bry-ant.

SeniorGabeArcherreturnsattight end, while classmates RyanGormley and Zainn Ison man therunning back positions. Sopho-more Keshawn Foley shares thebackfield as starting quarter-back.Apairof juniors inLeviSel-lars and SamHumbertwill be hisprimary targets at receiver.

Defensively Browning, John-son, Mentzel, Norman, Jacksonand Bryant will rotate up front,with Archer, Gormley and Poseyat linebacker.The secondary fea-tures senior Tyler Luginbuhl,Ison, Sellars,HumbertandFoley.

Look for the Bulldogs to run a

Wing-Toffenseanda3-4defense.“I guess I’m a little bit old

school,” Sizer said. “Hopefullywe’re going to be a disciplined,physical team. What we’ve doneis narrow it down to take care ofthe small things, the details. It’snot just coach-speak; we reallyfocus on that and believe the big-ger things – the wins – will fol-low.”

In addition to his players, Siz-er cited his coaching staff – in-cluding former Bulldog headcoach Jamie Corrill’s son, CalebCorrill, Matt Gottis, Tim O’HaraandformerGlenEsteandBethel-Tate head coach Zak Taylor – forbringing even more experience.He also called trainer DawnBaurichter “thehardest-workingperson in Clermont Countysports, period.”

“The plus of having theseguys is we have football experi-ence,yes,but theyhave lifeexpe-rience, too,” Sizer said. “Whenyou’re sending your kids to playfootball, you want them to bearoundmenwho can be an exam-ple, who will teach them more

than the game. Our guys will geta lot of life lessons from thisstaff.”

With perennial favorite EastClinton gone from the SouthernBuckeye Conference, Sizer saidthe door is open to a fairly levelplaying field in the competition

for the league championship.“We’re going to compete,

there’s no question about that,”he said. “If we’re going to be theteam I think we can be, we’re ateamthat’s going tohave tobe ac-counted for. Nobody should belooking past us on the schedule.”

AMELIA—There is anenthusi-asm and excitement in trainingcamp that has not been there forthe Amelia Barons football pro-gram in quite some time.

The Barons won their finalthree games in 2011 and carriedthat momentum into the offsea-son. In his first four seasons atthe helm, head coachRandyHos-pelhorn tried to get his players toexpect to win each week. Now,they know how to.

“We’ve always tried to instillthat expectation to win in thekids,” said Hospelhorn. “As thekids get older and more experi-enced, they start believing in it alittle more.”

The Barons are coming off ofback-to-back .500 seasons, de-spite playing one of the youngestrosters in the area. Depth re-mains an issue, with just 40 play-ers on the team. The Barons willtry to have a different playerstarting at all 22 positions, andmake sure that each player onthe roster sees somevarsi-ty minutes.

Theoffense is themore experiencedside of the ball,led by senior lefttackle Brad Na-gel and seniorquarterbackGabe Weaver.Classmates Do-minic Garcia andSeth Kennedy willbe the featured play-makers at wide receiverand running back, respectively.Junior Jake Miller will split car-ries with Kennedy. Tight end/wide receiver Bryan Olmsteadreturnsafternotplaying last sea-son.

On defense, the Barons willshow several different looks.That side of the ball features a

majority of the team’s youth.Several defensive starters sawextensivevarsityactionas fresh-men last year. Sophomores Gar-rett Weaver, T.J. Reed, and Car-ter Hounshell lead the defense.

By the time they are sopho-mores, Amelia football playersknow what to expect on Fridaynights. Due to the high pay-to-play cost in the school district,

very few players come outfor football in their

freshman year. TheBarons have notfielded a fresh-man team in re-cent years, in-stead playingthe few fresh-men who sign upon the junior var-

sity or varsity.“Pay-to-play’s

reallyhurt us, to anex-tent,” said Hospelhorn.

“The good thing is, our sopho-mores got a lot of playing timelast year andwe’re excited aboutwhat they learned.”

Everyone in the programknowsAmelia’s last winning sea-son on the gridiron came in 1998.There is a quiet optimism, ahum-ble confidence, that this year’s

team will be the one to break the14-year drought. The teamchem-istry is the best it has been inHospelhorn’s five seasons. TheBarons proved to themselves,and the rest of the SouthernBuckeyeAcademicAthleticCon-ference, that they can win. Now,they have to take their success ofa season ago and move forward.

“The boys are ahead of lastyear’s pace,” said Hospelhorn.“The attitude is great and they’reexcited about starting the sea-son.”

“They are determined to helpthe seniors go out on a goodnote.”

NEW RICHMOND — The morethingschange, themore theystaythe same at New Richmond HighSchool.

The Lions football team went8-2 last seasonandwon theSouth-ern Buckeye Conference. NewRichmondhasn’t hada losingsea-son this century. New head coachin Scott Herman plans to con-tinue the success.

“The fact that we’ve won here– won the league, made the play-offs (most recently in 2009) – ex-pectations are high,” he said.“Football is important here to theschool and to the community.These are the kinds of places youwant to coach because of that.”

Prior to New Richmond, Her-man served a six-year stint ashead coach at Montgomery Highin another football-crazy state –Texas - but he played for Love-land High School and the CollegeofMountSt. Josephbeforecoach-ing at Little Miami and Colerain.He knows Cincinnati football. Healso knows tradition matters.

As a result, the Lionswill keepthe option offense that’s befud-dled foes for decades now. Fourof last year’s five offensive line-men return to anchor that of-fense, led by senior Cole Bird,grandsonof legendary formerLi-ons coach Rom Bird. Also backare seniors Austin Campbell, JayTroy and J.R. Forsee, with juniorWill Lytle challenging for a start-ing role. Seniors Alex Horn andChad Nort play tight end andclassmate James White returnsat fullback.

Junior Levi Simpson and sen-ior TannerWolfe compete for the

startingquarterback job, sharingthe backfield with senior ClayLoadman, junior Blake Thomp-son and sophomore Tyler Ander-son. Seniors Colt Reese and MattForsee – J.R.’s cousin – play widereceiver.

Defensively, look for NewRichmond to line up in a 50 andcreate a lot of movement and ag-gressiveness. White will play de-fensive endwith juniorMalikDa-vis. Bird, Nort and Loadmanmanthe interior line. Horn and juniorEvan Brigner are at linebacker,while junior Jake Hauke, MattForsee and Reese roam the sec-ondary.

Soccer player Nathan Dixoncrosses over to kick for the foot-ball team, while Lytle will handlethe punting chores.

“Trying to gain an advantagein the kicking game is going to beimportant for us,” Herman said.

Despite the high expectationsfor his team, Herman is loath todiscuss long-range goals.

“When you’re in two-a-daysyou want to prepare for some-body, but you’remore focused onskills and techniques and assign-ments,” he said. “And while, yes,we want to win the league, whilewe want to go to the playoffs,once the season starts you don’tlook any further than your nextgame. If you take care of the nextgame on your schedule, all theother goals will take care ofthemselves. You just have to getbetter every day, focus on whatyoucando tomakeyourself abet-ter player, to make us a betterteam, every day.”

GOSHEN — Goshen returns 13starters from last year’s teamthat finished 4-6, and will run out17 seniors with varsity experi-ence.

Coach Mark Slagle begins hissecond stint as head coach afterreplacingNick Inabnitt,who tookover as principal. This will be hisninth season overall at the helmand he likes where his team is asthey prepare for their Aug. 24season opener at Ross.

“We had a productive campand two-a-days,”hesaid. “Wefeellikewearemakinggoodprogressand I am happy where we are.”

The majority of their return-ers are on the defensive side ofthe ball. Perhaps the most pro-ductive player back is linebackerAndrew Faith, who was first-team All-Southern Buckeye Ath-letic and Academic Conferencein 2011. Aaron Worley will joinFaith in the linebacking corps,along with Dmitri Foreman whoplayed strong safety last season.

Also back from last year in thesecondary are Scott Nichols andTim Brewer.

“We have a lot of experience(in the secondary),” Slagle said.“Hopefully they show up thisyear.”

Asfortheoffense, thequarter-back battle is still ongoing be-tween last year’s starterAlexEd-wards andBrandonSteele. Slaglegave no indication as to who thefrontrunner is, but said it willplay out over the next twoweeks.

“They still have two weeks toseewhowants to stepupandearnthat position,” Slagle said. “Bothbring different things to the ta-ble. One runs more, one passesmore so they are going at it.”

The Warriors return two run-ning backs from last season inseniors Ryan Ashcraft and Mar-cus Casey.

Mike Davis is back at wide re-ceiver for his senior year aftermissing all of last year with afracture in his lower back.

“He is healthy now,” Slaglesaid. “The back seems to be hold-ing up and he has stayed healthy.We think hewill be a real plus forthe team.”

Faithwill also see time at tightend andSlagle likes him therebe-cause of his ability to catch andhim being big enough to block on

the line.On the offensive line the War-

riors return Kyle Monhollen andNoah Elmore at guard.

“It’s nice to have them back,”Slagle said. “We are looking forthem to anchor the line.”

Slagle thinks his team will bejust fine this year with all theirexperience but knows there isone thing his team will do forsure.

“I can tell you they will playhard and represent this commu-nity and school in a positiveman-ner,” he said. “That is the mainthing we expect from them.”

2012 WARRIORSFULL OF EXPERIENCE

WILLIAMSBURG — The Wil-liamsburg High School footballseason hasn’t begun but is al-ready off to a difficult start.

Junior offensive guard anddefensive tackle Nick Felts wasin an automobile accident justdays before the Wildcats’ finalscrimmage of the preseason,leaving Felts out for the seasonand the ‘Cats less one experi-enced lineman.

While numbers are up in Wil-liamsburg, a loss of a returningstarter is something the ‘Catscanill afford.

“WithNickoutwehad tomovethree players around just to cov-er one position,” said head coachScott Lefker, in his first year atthe helm alone after sharinghead coaching duties with for-mer Wildcat great Trevor Fosterfor three seasons. “Wedon’t havethe depth to be able to take thosekinds of losses. We’re going tohave some people who have tostep up in new positions or whodon’t have much experience.”

Still, Lefker believes hissquadcanbuild ona7-3 2011cam-paign and post its third-straightwinning record.

“We’ve got 56 kids out for theJV and varsity, which is reallygood forus,”Lefker said. “I thinkit’s because we’ve been winningand kids really want to be part ofthat. They want to win and they

want to build a winner that willlast.

“Our goal is to go 10-0 andmake the playoffs. I believethat’s a realistic goal at the startof every season. Leading up tothe season those are things wetalk about. But in reality - rightnow - we’re a one-goal team. It’sall about (week one opponent)Summit (CountryDay).You can’tgo 10-0 if you don’t get that first

win.”Hoping to set that winning

tone will be Andrew Dean, thelone returning offensive linemanin the absence of Felts. Deanwillplay bothways andwill be joinedup front defensively by juniorJordan Wright, who slides overto end after playing tackle lastyear.

Junior Lane Edmisten takesover at quarterback, while JoshGerlock and sophomore MasonHall serve as the main running

backs. Senior Shane Jeffersplays wide receiver and showspromise as a playerwho can helpkeep defenses honest againstwhat will be primarily a runningteam out of the spread offense.

SeniorRyanBoggsplays tightend, punter and linebacker whileserving as co-captain with Ger-lock, Wright and Edmisten. Ger-lock and Jeffers double as cor-nerbacks, with Hall at safety.The Wildcats will line up in a 4-2-5 defense, giving themselves

theopportunity toblitz fromava-riety of angles and positionswhile using their speed to swarmthe ball and make plays.

Keep an eye on sophomoreRahshie Pierson, a transfer, whoprovides a legitimate scoringthreat as kicker.

“The key to our success willbe howwell we grow up,” Lefkersaid. “They’re shaping up prettywell. Size-wise we’re relativelysmall, but we have some speedand some skills.”

MT. WASHINGTON —McNicholas High Schoolreturns in 2012 with an in-triguing roster.

The teamtook its lumpslast year and finishedwitha 2-8 record, but the sen-iors on this year’s teamwere sophomores whenthe Rockets made theirrun through the regionalplayoffs two years ago.

“It’s one of those thingswhere I think they got agood taste of it; now it’stheir turn. They get theirshot,”Rockets’ headcoachMike Orlando said.

At quarterback, theRockets return seniorAustin Ernst, who led theGreater Catholic LeagueCentral division with 892passing yards. He alsorushed for 152 yards andthree scores.

Ernst, who is receivinginterest from schools inconferences that includethe ACC, MAC, Big East,Patriot League, and oth-ers, said he’ll do whateverit takes to help McNickwin.

“I just want to play tothe best of my ability, run-ning the ball, throwing theball, heck, handing theballoff,” Ernst said. “I’ll dowhatever it takes. I justwant to get the win.”

Orlando said seniorsPaul Wilson (OL/DL),Thomas Vogele (WR/DB),Michael Mink (WR/DB)and Kevin McHale (RB/LB)will also be vital to theRockets’ efforts.

McHale led the Rock-ets’ ground game with 593yards and five touch-downs last season, whileMink hauled in 12 passesfor 240 yards and twoscores.

“We have a variety ofguys with different skillsets and they could reallydo some good things thisyear,” Ernst said.

On defense, the Rock-ets, who allowed about 28points per game last sea-son,don’t bringa lot of sizeto the field, so they’ll relyon team speed, accordingto Orlando.

“Just like any year,we’re not real big…We

need 11 guys functioningas one. Everybody needsto be on the same page andyou’ve got to chase thefootball and have fun do-ing it,” he said.

Orlando expectsMcHale to anchor the line-backer position,whileWil-son, Todd Gula and LoganStultz will battle in thetrenches.

The Rockets begin theseason at home againstNewport Central CatholicAug. 25.

NCC beat McNick lastseason, 23-13, in the seasonopener, which was playedas part of the Skyline ChiliCrosstown Showdown.

NEWTOWN—TheMiamiValley Christian Academyvarsity football teamwantsto be the best.

And while the third-year high school programwon’t even be eligible tocompete be for the OhioHigh School Athletic Asso-ciation playoffs until nextyear, the Lions are buildinga foundation that couldlead them to the top.

The Lions have 38 play-ers out this season, the firstit will play an entire nine-game varsity schedule.MVCA began with 13 play-ers in 2010 while playingone varsity and seven JVgames. Last year theywent8-1 in a season with fourvarsity and five JV con-tests.

Third-year head coachRobVilardo –who has beeninstrumental as an assis-tant coach for successfulteams like the Andersonsquads of the 1990s and pe-rennial Kentucky statechamps Highlands HighSchool in the 2000s – be-lieves big aspirations areimportant.

“Every successfulschool at some point waswhere we are, the begin-ning,” he said. “Whether itwas Cincinnati St. Xavier,Highlands, Colerain, who-ever, they had to startsomewhere and they madea decision they were goingto build and sacrifice andcreate a winning tradition.We have the opportunity todo that from the ground up,which is rare and exciting.I’m all in.”

The increased numbersalone are cause for opti-mism.

“We can actually prac-tice 11-on-11 sometimesnow,” Vilardo said with achuckle. “That’s huge forus.”

Juniors Gavin Carsonand Bethel-Tate HighSchool transfer LayneCherry will compete forthe starting quarterbackjob.SeniorDanielHallbergand junior Josh Degonck-heere anchor the offensiveline that will protect them.Sophomore Jeff Dedekerreturns at running backand junior Alex Ammer-man joins him in the back-field.

The Lions will run aspread offense to capital-

ize on its speed and athlet-icism, and turn its under-sized line into a strength.

“You have a smallschool; you’re going tohave kids on the line whowould be tailbacks at big-ger schools,” Vilardo said.“Every kid who thinks hewants to be a tight end, youturn into a tackle. Guyswho want to be runningbacks, you have to say, ‘No,you’re a guard.’ Very fewpeople say, ‘Yeah, I want toplay O line,’ but they’re thebackbone of any offense.We’re putting athletes upfront.”

Defensively, look fortheLions to play 4-4 and 6-2schemes, which will havesimilar advantages to theoffensive sets – mobilityand quickness. Hallberganchors the defensive linewith junior Zach Riley as areturning linebacker.Sophomore JordanConklinreturns as a safety withsome experience.

The Lions won’t havethe services of Mason Vi-lardo, the coach’s son. Thetwo-way lineman is still re-covering from a brokenneck suffered playinghockey in November, buthe’son thesidelinesrootingfor his teammates.

Howdy folks,Last week we put corn

in the freezer, we cut 160ears of corn. I did the cut-ting and Ruth Ann baggedit for the freezer. This

made ninequarts andseven pints– Ruth Annlikes to putsome inpints for usand quartsfor whenthe familyis here orfor a funer-al or cov-

ered dish meal at church.Last Tuesday we dug

the last potatoes, so wecould plant four zucchiniplants. The ones we plant-ed earlier did not do any-thing, the hot weather suredid them in. We had plant-ed them in a tractor tire,the tire will get hot –Ididn't think about that, atthe time – so the potatopatch was the properplace. We should haveplenty of zucchini to uselater.

I then covered theground around the plantswith a good covering ofstraw. That night we got

about 8/10 inch of rain thatwet the straw and ground.I was looking at the plantsa couple days later andthere were some bigblooms on them.

We got the plants fromthe Grant's Farm andGreenhouses. They havekale plants, golden acrecabbage, beautiful Pack-man broccoli, fall pansyflowers, mums, sweetcorn, peaches and toma-toes.

After we set the zucchi-ni plants we planted beets,carrots, spinach and tur-nips. The fall produce wethink is extra good, soclean some ground andplant some.

Now for our noonmeal,Thursday we had chickenand dumplin’s, corn on thecob, and a big salad, withfresh tomatoes and cucum-bers. With the gardenproduce Ruth Ann canmake a wonderful salad.

It is always great to beable to eat out of the gar-den. The garden is lots ofwork, but it helps on thegrocery bills and is veryhealthy for us plus goodexercise. It also teachesthe young folks how foodgrows.

We picked the first ofthe cranberry beans, lastTuesday and got 1/2 bushel,then we shelled them andgot seven pints to put inthe freezer to use thiswinter. These beans are ashell bean, some call 'horti-culture bean' – either waythey are wonderful withonion, a little horseradish,a big chunk of cornbreadand a good cup of coffee.

The little yellow pear-shape tomatoes we have,Ruth Annmade tomatopreserves from, so she willput the recipe in for this. Itis sure good. Put it on a hotbiscuit, smothered in but-ter, YUMMM.

We pulled the first stockof celery last week and it isgood. This is the first timewe have ever grown this.Tony gave us the plantsand it has done well.

Last Friday Ruth Annand I worked at theO.V.A.M. at Georgetown. I,along with a beautifulyoung lady, took tickets atthe entrance gate from 8’til 10 a.m. Ruth Ann, alongwith a couple other ladiessold tickets in the officefrom10 til 12. One ladysold the membershiptickets and Ruth Ann and

the other young lady soldone day tickets.

The crowd grew as theday went on and there wasso much to see and enjoy. Ayoung feller told me thathe had a 'mule ' that wecould use to ride aroundthe grounds to see every-thing. This came in handyas Ruth Ann has problemswith her back when shewalks much.

This 'mule', some of youmight think it is a fourlegged animal, but thismule had four wheels andwas great for us to havethe use of. Ruth Ann and Isay thanks, many thanks,Jerry!

This O.V.A.M. show isone of the best shows. Onefeller told me he had beento six shows so far thisyear and this was the bestone he had visited. If youmissed this event, youhave missed one of thebest. On Saturday a youngfeller had his three Belgianhorses there to show howplowing was done in yearsgone by.

Now I will start the dayon Saturday. Ruth Ann andI went up to theWhite OakValley Grange at Mowrys-town for a breakfast – they

had to raise money to re-pair the roof on theirGrange hall. After this wedrove to the O.V.A.M.grounds to see the plowingdone by horses and steamengines. As a friend ofmine used to say, 'I tellayou boys' that was a won-derful thing to see.

There was a big crowdto see the steam engineplowing. These engineswere pulling a five-bottomplow, and didn't seem tohave any trouble. The plowhad a little engine to raiseand lower the plow.

The horses mademethink about the times whenDad was farming, how weplowed with horses. Thesteam shovel was workingand the sawmill was pow-ered by a steam engine. Ithink there were six steamengines that were workingand one of themwas usedto steam sweet corn.

There were over 475tractors, and 200 littlegarden tractors. Now ofcourse the showwould nothave been complete with-out the pork tenderloinsandwiches and theMan-nings’ homemade icecream using their hit-and-miss engine.

The folks that put thisshow on are to have a spe-cial thanks. This showtakes lots of planning andwithout the volunteersthey could not have thiswonderful show. Manythanks from the ole fisher-man and wife. More nextweek.

Ruth Ann's YellowTomato Preserves

6 cups tomatoes, crushed,not peeled

6 cups sugar2 Tablespoons lemon juice

Put in large kettle andcook until thickened –when it drips from thespoon. You could put apackage of pectin (Sure-Jell) in it before you startcooking it. This wouldthicken it quicker. Pourinto hot jars and seal.

Start your week byattending the house ofworship of your choice andpraise the Good Lord. Godbless all. More later.

When we were kids andattending St. Margaret ofCortona’s school in Madi-son Place, one of my favor-ite hot lunches was thebarbecue. You could smellit the minute you stood onthe steps going down tothe cafeteria. It was

stringy and coated withjust enough sauce to makeit a bit drippy so when youtook a bite, some wouldfall onto your plate – abonus to savor with thatlast forkful of slaw. Appar-ently school lunches bringback a flood of memoriesfor many of you.

Lockland School’sbarbecue from the‘50s

Ann Seebohm, a Mont-gomeryreader, sentthis forMarilynMorris, whowas lookingfor St. Ber-nardSchool’sbarbecuefrom the1950s. Annsaid: “The

recipe I have is not fromSt. Bernard School butfrom Lockland School.However it is from the1950s and is also calledbarbecue, but is more likesloppy joe. Hope this iswhat Marilyn Morris islooking for.”

Brown 2 pounds groundbeef with 4 mediumonions and 2 bell peppers,chopped

Add the following andsimmer:

2 tablespoons each:Worcestershire, barbecuesauce, vinegar and sugar

Add 1 bottle of ketchup.Though Ann doesn’t sayhowmuch, I would startout with a very generouscup and go from there,tasting and adding moreas needed.

GrandmaWeaver’sand Lisa Mauch’smom’s barbecue

Lisa Mauch, my formereditor, came to the rescue,too. Actually, her mom did.“Mymom says the recipeshe’s sharing isn’t precisesince she just adds stuffuntil it looks and tastesright. She says the secretis to keep smushing themixture. She also says shesometimes adds a dash ofcinnamon and/or choco-late.” Sounds like a confi-dent cook to me! We get abonus here, too: Two gen-erations sharing.

GrandmaWeaver’srecipe

1pound hamburger1⁄3 cup ketchup1onion (chopped)1 green pepper (diced)1 tablespoon vinegar1 tablespoonmustard1 tablespoon sugar½ teaspoon salt

Lisa’s mom’s recipe

3 pounds ground sirloin(browned)

1 chopped onion and greenpepper

2 tablespoons vinegar2-3 tablespoons mustard1 cup sugar½-¾ bottle of ketchup (24oz.)

Rita’s do-ahead,marinated slaw

This is delicious withthe barbecue and a bitdifferent than the norm.

Salad:

Combine and set asidewhile making dressing:

6-8 cups shredded cabbageor cole slawmix

2 carrots, sliced thin orshredded

1bell pepper, chopped1 cup onion, chopped

Dressing:Bring to a boil, then

simmer, uncovered, 10-15minutes or so, until slight-ly thickened:

1 cup sugar1 cup cider vinegar½ cup water2 teaspoons mustard seed(optional but good) or½teaspoon celery seed (alsooptional)

Pour dressing overcabbage mixture. Coverand refrigerate 4 hours orovernight. Stir beforeserving.

Roasted tomatoesThey’re in season now

so it’s time to preservethem for winter dishes.When a recipe calls forcanned tomatoes, you canuse these. The color andflavor is amazing. No realrecipe, but here’s how I doit:

Cut tomatoes in half.Lay either cut side up ordown (I laid mine cut sidedown but next time will

lay them cut side up sinceI think that will keep moreof the tomato flavor in).Drizzle with olive oil.Roast in preheated 400degree oven until toma-toes start to look spottyand caramelize a bit. Ifyou have them cut sidedown, the skin will inflateand get dark in spots. Letcool and, if you like, re-move skins. The first timeI made them I didn’t re-move the skins but when Iused them in cooked dish-es, they were a littletough, so my suggestion isto remove them.
