Don’t be surprised to see the“L-Paw” Loveland High SchoolTiger logo all around Loveland.

The opening home game forthe defending 2013 Division IIstate champion Loveland HighSchoolTigerfootball teamisnotuntil Sept. 12, but excitement isrunning at full sprint already.The boosters, Loveland AreaChamber of Commerce andarea businesses are planning anumber of events to celebratethe team, the season, and allLoveland sports teams.

“We love to support ourteam,” said Ralph Dunnigan ofPaxton’s Grill. “We’d love tohave the whole team in here.”

Nothing official is plannedthere yet, but watch for the L-Paw in thewindows.Official de-tails have not been releasedyet,but LovelandAthletic Boosters,Loveland Area Chamber ofCommerce and businesses areplanning a fun night for parentsto showsupport for all theLove-land sports teams.

“We are a go for the ‘ParentsPub Crawl’ Sept. 19,” said Cee-Cee Collins, Loveland AreaChamber of Commerce. “Wehaven't met yet to iron out de-tails of times. It’s important tonote this is not a football fund-raiser, but a fundraiser for allfall sports.”

Theplan is for parents to pay$30 for an appetizer and twodrink tickets. Participating res-taurantswill get $10with the re-maining $20 going to the boost-ers Some ideas include a shuttlefromdowntownLoveland to thehigh school for a pep-rally typeevent, split-the-pot and theLoveland Tiger mascot attend-ing. Collins said they’re encour-aging restaurants to offer “Ti-ger Deals” before and aftergames too.

Loveland Canoe & Kayak

helpedraise theexcitement lev-elwith the July 31unveiling of acommemorative canoe to honorthe football championship andstate wrestling title won by An-drew Alten. Excitementreached fever pitch Aug. 16when the Loveland-SymmesFire Department Ladder truckshowed up to put a twist on the“Ice Bucket Challenge” sweep-ing the nation.

Following a hot-n-humidpractice, players were dousedwith a shower of ice-cold waterfromthefirehose.Playersfromthe 2014 team enjoyed the cooldown and the support shown byfire department as they getready to kick off the season.Coach Fred Cranford said highschool Principal Chris Kloeszchallenged the football team tothe ALS ice-bucket challenge.They took on the challenge andwill donate $100 to ALS re-search.

“Thesupportwehavehere inthe community; they volun-teered to come out and hose usdown from the top. That’s Love-land,” Cranford said. “I thinkthere’s a lot more excitement

and people optimistic aboutwhat we’re going to do for theseason.”

Maybe no one is more excit-ed and optimistic than lastyear’s No. 1 Tiger Fan youngBrady Carr and his family. Hisdad, Scott, said it was a fun off-season for Brady attendingsome of the basketball gamesand wrestling, but it wasn’tquite like the excitement offootball.

Brady was the young boywho was on the field to give

high-fives to the team beforegames last season.Theexpecta-tion is he’ll be doing it again thisyear.

“Brady is fired-up for theseasonandwe’llbeatYagerSta-dium;we’ll be atMiami that Fri-day night cheering on the Ti-gers,” Carr said. “They’ll prob-ably let us know they’re expect-ing the high-fives; we’ll maketheconnection,getdownon thatfield and give them the high-fives. I think they’ll turnMiamiinto a mini Tiger Stadium.”

Loveland opens the seasonAug. 29 against Lakota West atYager Stadium.

Carr doesn’t knowhowmanybuses are going, but he knowsspirit buses are headed up toMiami. Brady is geared up andready to go for the season.

“The optimism is communi-ty-wide,” Cranford said. “It wasan awesome experience for ev-eryone. Once you have it, youdon’t want to let go of it. I’m ex-cited about the talent we have.”

Tiger Nation eagerly anticipates 2014 season

Brady Carr will be back offering high-fives for good luck to his favorite Loveland Tiger football team againthis year. CHUCK GIBSON FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

The Loveland PoliceDivision is participatingin the Drive Sober or GetPulled Over campaignthrough Labor Day, Sept.1. This campaign is de-signed to raise awarenessabout the dangers ofdrinking and driving

through high-visibilityenforcement and publiceducation tools.

“Drunk driving is sim-ply not worth the risk,”Police Chief Tim Sabran-sky said. “Not only do yourisk hurting or killingyourself or someone else,but the trauma and finan-cial costs of a crash or anarrest for impaired driv-ingcanbesignificant.Ourmessage is simple: if wecatch you driving im-paired,wewill arrest you.No exceptions. No ex-cuses.”

“We want residents toenjoy the end of summerandLaborDayholiday ac-tivities. If youaregoing toconsume any alcoholicbeverages, have a desig-nated driver or make oth-er arrangements for aride.Don’t take the risk ofbecoming another im-paired driver statistic.”

BRIEFLY

LaborDayweekend isapproaching. For manyAmericans, that meansan extra day off work,barbeques and visitswith family or friends.Unfortunately, it alsomeans a sharp increasein drunk driving-relatedfatalities.

ClermontCounty SafeCommunities remindsthe community thatstarting Aug. 15 throughSept. 1, local police willbe aggressively target-ing drunk drivers as partof the nationwide DriveSober orGet PulledOverhigh-visibility enforce-ment campaign to enddrunk driving and savelives.

In 2012, there were10,322 people killed indrunk-driving crashes inthe United States. OverLabor Day weekend (6p.m. Friday to 5:59 a.m.Tuesday) in 2012, 38 per-cent of all traffic fatali-ties were in drunk-driv-ing crashes.

“It’s tragic how manypeople lose their lives todrunk driving,” saidMargaret Jenkins, SafeCommunities coordina-tor and director of OhioState University Exten-sion Clermont County.“If the news reportedthat more than 10,000people were killed in a

preventable crimespree, theAmericanpub-lic would be outraged.”

Every 51 minutes,someone is killed in adrunk-driving crash inthe U.S. Over the LaborDay weekend, those fa-talities increase to oneevery 34 minutes. Night-time is especially dan-gerous; almost half (46percent) of the fatalitiesin nighttime (6 p.m. to5:59 a.m.) crashes overthe Labor Day weekendinvolved a driver with ablood alcohol content of.08 or higher, the legallimit in all states. Bycomparison, 25 percentof the fatalities in day-time fatal crashes in-volved an impaired driv-er.

Young drivers areoverrepresented indrunk-driving crashes,too. Among young driv-ers (ages 18-34) killed inmotor vehicle crashesduring the 2012 LaborDayweekend, 48percenthad a blood alcohol con-tent of .08 or higher.

“Driving drunk is to-tally inexcusable,” Jen-kins said. “We’re hopingthat Clermont Countydrivers get the messageand take some simplesteps to prevent a trage-dy.There’s alwaysanoth-er way home. Planning a

sober ride home, wheth-er it’s a friend, a taxi orpublic transportation, isthe right choice.”

Don’t let end-of-sum-mer festivities turn intofatalities. Law enforce-ment is not messingaround: if you’re caughtdriving drunk, you willbe arrested. Rememberthat aside from the obvi-ous risks of killing your-self or someone else,driving impaired canalso lead to serious puni-tive consequences. ADUI arrest can meantime in jail, loss of yourlicense and steep finan-cial expenses; the aver-age DUI costs about$10,000.

ClermontCounty SafeCommunities, a grantfunded through the OhioDepartment of PublicSafety, focuses on de-creasing traffic crashesand fatalities by increas-ing motor vehicle andtraffic safety awarenessthrough education andcommunity partnership.The grant is managed byOhio State UniversityExtension ClermontCounty.

“He worked prettyhard todevelopment thatcommunity and we be-lieve he will bring thatkind of work ethic toLoveland,” Phelps said.

Kennedy was namedone of the 11 semifinal-ists for the job, but wasnotmadeoneof theorigi-nal four finalists. Phelpssaid hewas brought in asan alternate after Love-land Finance DirectorTom Vanderhorst with-drew his name. Vander-horst accepted an offertobe the financedirectorin Hamilton.

Lovelandhasnothadapermanent city managersince November whenTom Carroll resignedfromthepositionafter12

years with the city. Da-vid Duckworth, a specialadvisor forManagementPartners, has been serv-ing as interim city man-ager.

“It has been an ex-hausting search. Wefound a lot of qualifiedpeople andwe are glad tohave gotten on of them,”Phelps said.

A publication of

Aug. 20 questionShould schools continue to

teach cursive writing? Why orwhy not?

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

Marirose Stiver

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

T.D.T.

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

M. J. F.“They should teach reading

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

John Pile

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

Jessica Searcy

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

Brenda Hanus

“Yes. I believe cursive writ-ing to still be useful in today’ssociety.Howelsewill they learnto (properly) sign theirname?Ifyou need to knowhow to read it,you may as well learn how towrite it.Technologyisgreat,butit is bound to fail one day and Ifor one am not going to allow itto takemy household complete-ly over. Furthermore, I amirked by the fact that good pen-manship does not seem to be asimportant any more, either. Ifmy sons don’t learn it in school,they will be taught it at home.Thankfully, my oldest is learn-

ing it at Longbranch Elemen-tary.”

Beth Payton

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

Roxie Held

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

Carrie Cox

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

Jolene Benedict

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

Alice Tranter Albrinck

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

Kim Struewing

“How will they be able toreadhistorical documents, suchas the Constitution? Of course

they should learn it! A part ofhistory requires it!”

Julee Ellison

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

Jessica Searcy

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

Sheri Brown

“If the school system wantsto move away from teachingchildren how to spell correctlybecause most computer soft-ware has spellcheck what is thepoint in teaching cursive whenthe children will be doing mostof their work on a computer?Time spent that would havebeen spent teaching this skillcould be used to educate chil-dren in other matters such asgrammar.”

Jen Christen

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

Roxie Held

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

John Scales

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

John Bernard

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

James Bartley

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

Lou Hozeska

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

Lindsey Martin

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

Terri Connor

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

Mary Foster

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

Brian Nagy

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

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONHave you participated in the ALSice bucket challenge? What doyou think of the effort?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

Hugh L. Nichols receiveda telephone call at hisBatavia home from his

friend, Ohio Gov. James Cox.The call was of historic signif-icance.

The governor greeted Nich-ols with “Goodmorning, Mr.Chief Justice.” Nichols had justbeen appointed the first ChiefJustice of the Ohio SupremeCourt, a position he would holdfrom Sept. 22, 1913, until Dec.31, 1920.

Nichols was born in NewRichmond onMarch 25, 1865.After graduating fromBataviaHigh School, he attended OhioWeslyan University. While astudent at the University ofCincinnati law school, Nicholswrote a column for the Cincin-nati Enquirer. He earned acco-lades for an extensive articlehe wrote about U.S. Grant’sdeath based on interviews withthe president’s family andfriends.

He began practicing law inBatavia with his brother Allen.

Ten years later

he was electedto the OhioSenate. In 1910hemanagedJudsonHar-mon’s guberna-torial cam-paign againstWarrenHar-ding. Despitethe efforts offormer Presi-dent Theodore

Roosevelt on Harding’s behalf,Harmonwon by100,000 votes.After the election, Nicholsanalyzed the election returns,discovering that Harmon’stotals increased where Roose-velt campaigned. Nicholswired his thanks to the formerpresident.

The next two years werepolitically busy for Nichols. Hewas appointed lieutenant gov-ernor by Gov. JudsonHarmonto fill a vacancy and in 1911presided over the Ohio Senatebribery trials. The following

year he was elected lieutenantgovernor on the James Coxticket. Also in 1912 he gainednational attention bymanagingHudson’s unsuccessful bid forthe Democrat presidentialnomination. Hudson lost toWoodrowWilson, who laterdefeated bothWilliamHowardTaft of Cincinnati and Theo-dore Roosevelt.

When Nichols became chiefjustice, the Supreme Court wasfaced with significant chal-lenges, hearing cases on “work-ers compensation, governmentreorganization, highway build-ing” and issues interpretingOhio’s new Constitution. Anobserver commented thatNichols’ tenure was charac-terized by his”…tact, diploma-cy, fairness, and courtesy.” Helost his bid for re-election inthe 1920 Republican landslide.

After leaving the bench,Nichols returned to privatepractice, establishing a Cincin-nati based law firm.

In 1922 Nichols was appoint-

ed co-chair of the U.S. GrantCentennial Commission, cele-brating Clermont’s favoriteson’s 100th birthday. He accept-ed the appointment upon thecondition that the Grant cot-tage be returned to Point Pleas-ant from Columbus. President

Harding was the featuredspeaker at the well-attendedevent, where the GrantMemo-rial Bridge was dedicated.

Nichols was known not onlyfor his political and legal ac-complishments, but for hischaritable acts as well. In addi-tion to serving as the long timepresident of the ClermontCounty American Red Cross,he helped out the unfortunatein his community.

A tribute stated, “He reallybelieved it wasmore blessed togive than receive and he prac-ticed it continuously through-out his life…food, coal, andclothing were often deliveredby tradesmen to his less fortu-nate neighbors, who neverknew fromwhom it came.”

Hugh Nichols died Dec. 29,1942, and is buried in Batavia’sUnion Cemetery.

Gary Knepp is a Batavia attorneywho teaches history and politicalscience at U.C. Clermont. He lives inMiami Township.

COLLECTION

Fall is right around thecorner and, with that, onthe first day of fall, Sept.

23, Ohio will be one of 47 statesappropriately observing theseventh annual “Falls” Preven-tion Awareness Day.

“Strong Today, Falls FreeTomorrow” is the theme forthis national observance in-tended to raise awarenessabout how to prevent fall-relat-ed injuries among older adults.

In my last column, I sharedinformation about the benefitsof having a personal emergen-

cy responsesystem, wornaround theneck or evenaround thewrist. Evenmore impor-tant than hav-ing to summonemergencyresponse sup-port because

of a fall is to prevent it in thefirst place.

According to the NationalCouncil on Aging, “Older Ohio-

ans should not be limited bythe fear of falling. Falling isnot a normal part of aging andmost falls can be prevented.Yet, it is not an exaggeration tocall falls among older adults anepidemic in Ohio. Falls are theleading cause of emergencyroom visits, hospitalizationsand deaths for Ohioans age 65and older.”

LOVELAND—Whatended lastDec. 6, begins again Aug. 29 asthe Loveland High School foot-ball program under Fred Cran-ford tries for a16th consecutivewin.

WinNo.15was awinterwon-derland dream as the Tigerswon the Ohio Division II titleover Glenville at Canton’s Faw-cett Stadium.

This year, the goal is Colum-bus and another trophy, but theman with the Twitter handle@wingtfreddyc is laying low.

“We take things one day at atime,” Cranford said. “It couldbe to our advantage. We can’tget complacent. Last year’sdone with and over. It’s time tomove on. We have a handful ofnew kids.”

The upside of a deep tourna-ment run is similar to whatbowl-bound colleges experi-ence; extra practice.

The Tigers’ season was ex-tended five weeks in 2013.

“We’re light years ahead oflast year,” Cranford said. “Wejust have to clean things up onthe way.”

Making Loveland a logicalfavorite to repeat is the return-ing backfield of junior quarter-back Drew Plitt, sophomorerunning back LukeWaddell andsenior back Nate Slagel.

Slagel’s season ended afterseven and a half games a yearagowitha tornACL.Still, hehadaccumulated enough yards tobe the top rusher in the EasternCincinnati Conference.

“It’s very refreshing to seeNate out here doing some of thethings he’s doing,” Cranfordsaid. “I’m excited to see himcome out here and finish upwhere he left off.”

TheTigersalso returnseniorreceiver Giovanni Ricci andkicker Evan Burig. Amongthose leading the blocks is IanLeever.

“Most programs are morebalanced, but we are blessed tohave so many skill guys back,”Cranford said. “It all starts up

front though. We just have toget them in there.”

Repeating a season withthree 1,000-yard rushers (Sla-gel, Waddell and recently grad-uated Gunner Gambill) will bedifficult, but Loveland gainedgreat confidence a year ago.

“Any time you have three1,000-yard rushers, you have amagical season,”Cranford said.“We have the potential skill-setwise, but we definitely have tobuckle down up front. We haveto get guys to execute.”

Defensively, junior JakeSaunders returns after finish-ing among ECC sack leaders.Defensive back Jeff Prifti alsoreturnsbut is currently nursinga preseason injury

“A lot of our D-line is back,”Cranford said. “We are replac-ing our linebacking corps. Ithink they can do some greatthings for us and make theirownmark.”

The next run begins in theSkyline Chili Crosstown Show-down with Lakota West at Mi-ami’s Yager Stadium with a 6p.m. kick-off Aug. 28. Love-land’s ECC opener will be aThursday night Fox Sportsgame at Glen Este Sept. 18.

SPRINGFIELDTWP.—St.Xavier High School foot-ball coach, Steve Specht,knows it’s time to get backtoBomberfootball in2014.

After back-to-backfirst-round postseason ex-its, Specht sees a differ-ence in his guys from theprevious two years.

“I think we have somethree-year starters thathave been members ofteamsthathavebeenfirst-round playoff knockoutsand I think that grates onthem,” the coach said af-terpracticeAug.20.“I likeour senior class and thosethree-year guys remem-ber that. It’s not fun. Wegot beat up. I think they’reready to get back.”

With two sophomorequarterbacks competingfor the starting job inSeanClifford and DanielKeyes, the Bombers willrely up on those aroundthem to make the starterstransition much easier.Boston College commit,Ben Glines, is back at tail-back, while DannyMcHale, Alex Deters,Connor Stelljes, Matt andJonathan Bockhorst andJoe Ruwe makeup a big,deep, talented offensiveline that will control thepace of the offense.

“Itdoesn’t takearocketscientist to figure outwhenyouhavesophomorequarterbacks, a BostonCollege tailback and a big-ger offensive line that wehave to get back to run-ning the ball and the play-action pass,” Specht said.“We’re going to shrink thefield for thequarterbacks,simplify some things for

them and we’re going toplayfootball.We’rebiggerand we’ve got some depthand that’s oneof the thingswe haven’t had, so that’s avery positive thing.”

Look for sophomoreColton Paul and 6-foot-6,Andrew Homer, to ownthe top wide receiverspots.

Defensively it all startswith the linebacking corp.Senior Justin Hilliard(Ohio State University)headlines a trio that in-cludes fellow three-yearstarter Cole Jones andCarter Raleigh. The triocombined for sevensacks,two interceptions, twofumble recoveries and176tackles last season. JuniorElijah Payne will slideover fromrunningback tolinebacker this seasonand, along with seniorGriffin Hargis, providesome depth behind thestarting linebackers.

With defensive tackle

Simeon Lane and defen-sive end Nathan Winningback on the line, it will beroughgoing foropponentsthinking they can run theball against the Bombers.

“That’s the heart andsoul of our defense rightnow,” Specht said of his

linebackers. “We run thatodd stack, so we have fiveof our six starters back(up front) from a yearago.”

Look for Hilliard andJonestofieldsomerepsonthe offensive side of theball as well. While not ide-

al, Specht saysyouhave todo what you have to dowhen you’re young undercenter.

“When you’re lookingat two sophomores atquarterback you’re goingto exercise every avenueyou can.”

St. Xavier senior runningback Ben Glines turns thecorner and heads up fieldduring the 2013 season.Glines – a Boston CollegeUniversity commit – willstart at tailback afterrushing for 715 yards andseven touchdowns lastseason. PROVIDED

John Rodenberg madeMoeller’s ninth state football ti-tle just amemoryforhis return-ing players not long after theCrusaders repeated as DivisionI champions in December.

Therewas no talk of a repeatin 2013, so there certainly willbe no three-peat talk this sea-son. Of course the Crusaderswill be busy chasing state titleNo. 10, their 16th regional titleand a second straight GreaterCatholic League South title.

But they’ll do it with as littlepressure as the head coach canmanage.

“I just don’t believe in put-ting a lot of pressure on thekids,”Rodenbergsaid. “They’retheir own class. They’re auniqueclassand theyhave theirown character, so I’m going tolet them go ahead and not putanything on them.

“There’s no pressure tothree-peat. They’ll do their ownthing. I thinkwe’re talented, butI want to let them relax and en-joy their senior year and do thebest job they can.”

Still, the defending champswill play with a target on theirbacks and, yes, some pressure.

Pressure towin is a given forone of the most storied pro-grams in thestateplaying inoneof themost competitive confer-ences in the country. Start withtheGCL South. Each of the fourteams – Elder, La Salle, Moellerand St. Xavier – has won theleague in the last six years.

“Isay iteveryyear,”St.Xavi-er coach Steve Specht said.“Throw the four names into ahat anddraw.You’ll get a differ-entordereverytime.ButMoell-er is the team to beat simply be-cause they are the defendingstate champions. Until some-body knocks them off, they’rethe team to beat.”

The Crusaders will havetheir hands full all year, but es-pecially in the conference.

“Elder has a lot of talent andthey’re coming along,” Roden-berg said. “X is always X andthey’llbestrongondefense,andthen La Salle played all three ofus tough last year. They proba-bly gave all three of us ourtoughest games. I guess theyjust have to get over the hump.Elder is going to really battlehard.

“I think it’s going to beprettyeven. It’s going to come down towho gets a hold of who on whatnight. We’ll see what happens.”

Pressurewill alsobehighun-der center asMoeller turns to anew starting quarterback for asecond straight year. Senior

Matt Crable will take over forEnquirerPlayer of theYear andGCL South first team quarter-back Gus Ragland.

Crable, the son of formerMoeller star player and coachBob Crable, completed 20 of 41passes for 244 yards and threetouchdowns last season in limit-ed duty.

Matt Crable had a big gamefilling in for an injuredRaglandlast Sept. 27 in a 20-17 win overSt. Xavier, completing 13 of 30passes for 126 yards and atouchdown.

“He understands the pres-sure,” Rodenberg said. “Hecame in andwon the St. X gamefor us last yearwhenweneededit and the kid has been aroundpressure his entire life. I think

now it’s just a fact that it’s histime to shine. I thinkhe’ll haveagreat year.”

Moellerwill turnup thepres-sure on foes in a new 4-3 look ondefense that Rodenberg prom-

ises will be more aggressive.“We want to get after people

a littlemore thanwe have in thepast andwe think that’s going tobe good for us,” Rodenbergsaid.

Moeller feels pressure only from outside

Expectations are skyhigh for Cincinnati HillsChristianAcademy’s foot-ball program in 2014.

That iswhyhead coachEricTaylor takeshis teaminto the woods each pre-season. The Eagles spentpart of their August train-

ing campatan actualcamp,working onfootball butalso work-ing on teambonding.

With somany tal-ented play-

ers on both sides of theball, developing trust andselflessness will help theEagles reach their loftygoals.

“We wanted an equalfocus on team-building,working on brotherhood,and coming together asone,” saidTaylor. “We feelthat is one of the thingsthat will help us get to thenext level.”

The defense is impos-ing, led by linemenPrinceSammons and Joel Paroz,and linebackers BobbyMumma and JonahJames. Two defensivebacks are competing forthe starting quarterbackjob. Junior Johnny Noyenand senior John Allen arebattling to replace athree-year starter. Ideal-ly, the winner of the jobwill be a one-way player,but could also see time inthe defensive backfield.Pressure is on both to ele-vate the offense.

“Anytime you havesomeone replacing athree-year starter at anyposition, it’s tough,” Tay-lor said. “Weaskourquar-terbacks todo a lot andwerely heavily on that posi-tion. I’m excited for bothof them and feel like bothcan be a fit. Our offensiveidentity is not going tochange.”

Having four wide re-ceivers and two offensivelinemen returning withstarting experience willease the transition for thenew signal-caller.

Left tackle Jacob Hal-ter and wide receiverCam Murray will takepressure off of the quar-terback. The Eagles ex-pect sophomore wide re-

ceiveranddefensivebackAdam Baker to become avarsity playmaker thisseason as well.

“We have a lot of weap-ons that our quarterbackwill be able to utilize,”said Taylor.

A very difficult early-season schedule will en-sure that the Eagles arebattle-tested in time forpostseason play. Therewill be no time to ease intothis season and lookahead.

Each week will be achallenge for CHCA.Coming off of an unde-feated regular season fol-lowed by an early playoffexithassharpened theEa-gles’ collective focus.

“We need to developand mature quickly,” saidTaylor.

The coaching staff canfocus on coaching X’s andO’s, because the Eaglesare such a focused, moti-vated team. The seniorleadership makes surethat each player placesthe team’s goals beforehis own. That can be achallenge with multipleplayers holdingDivision Ischolarship offers enter-ing the season.

“Our senior leadershiphas been really, reallygood. I think theyareverydriven,” said Taylor.“They have a self-im-posed desire and drive totake the program to thenext level.”

HYDE PARK — Changeneed not be scary. Sum-mit Country Day headfootball coach MikeBrown embraces it.

The Silver Knightswent 9-3 last season (5-2,third place in the MiamiValley Conference), andavenged a regular sea-son loss against previ-ously unbeaten Cincin-nati Country Day in theopening round of the Di-vision VI playoffs.

But that was last year.Gone are marquee play-ers like quarterback An-tonio Woods - now at theUniversity of Pennsyl-vania in the Ivy League -and lineman MichaelBarwick Jr., who is at In-diana University in theBig Ten. No problem.Just a chance for otherplayers to step into lead-

ership roles.“That’s one of the

(best) parts of being at aschool our size,” Brownsaid. “What do we havein our playbook that isgoing to work for allthese guys? How can wemake it work for thisgroup? It changes all thetime. It’s a new year, anew team. We like that.

“We always want tocompete in and win theMiami Valley Confer-ence, and being a youngteam we must find con-sistency. To win the con-ference, we have to beconsistent game togame. As a smallerschool, offensive and de-fensive philosophies aregoing to change year toyear tomatch personnel,but if you’re able to playwith consistency, goodthings will happen.”

Summit will line up inmultiple sets and hopes

to establish the run. Ju-nior Logan Bush andsophomore Duke Tobinare vying for the quar-terback job. Whoeverlands there will havesenior running backsBrooks Taylor and Mav-erick Thurston along-side him in the back-field, as well as down-field targets like seniorreceivers C.J. Suggs andTyler Hannah.

The line protectingthem features veteranslike seniors MaxMcGrath, KevinKroencke and Nick Ro-manelli, as well as juniorDavionne Laney andsenior tight end ColeBush.

Sophomores AndrewBissmeyer on the lineand Zairn Davis at tightend and linebackerought to make a varsityimpact immediately.And watch for freshman

Xavier Johnson to turnsome heads with hisspeed.

“I think the key is ourolder players who havebeen there showing theyounger guys what it

means to be consistent,”Brown said. “Our sen-iors have been to theplayoffs every year. It’san expectation for themnow and they want tokeep it up.”

Classes begin on September 15th

We’re back to nor-mal, whatevernormal is, after

coming home from vaca-tion.

What a special timewe had spending time inGlen Lake, Michigan,with two of our kids andgrandkids, then visitingour son, Joe, and his fam-ily in both Olympia,Washington and Belle-vue, Nebraska. We didlots of sight-seeing andgood eating in between,too.

During our visit toOlympia, Inge, Joe’swife, mentioned that wildblackberries were ripe.The word “wild” grabbedme right away. “Theberries are organic andhuge,” Inge said. Weheaded out to her secretberry patch and Icouldn’t believe my eyes,really. Bigger than huge,ripe, sweet blackberrieseverywhere! Check outthe photo of Little Jaide,Inge and Joe’s grand-daughter who helpedpick, and you’ll see whatInge meant.

We spent a fun daymaking the best black-berry jam ever andbrought jars of it togranddaughters Annaand Tulia in Nebraska,plus I tucked enough jarsin our trunk to share withCincinnati family andfriends.

Homemade‘summer in a jar’blackberry jam

When the winterwinds howl and you opena jar of this jam, thearoma and memories of asunny summer’s day willlinger.

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

5 cups crushed black-berries, mashed withpotato masher

4 tablespoons lemonjuice

1 box (1.75 oz.) drypectin

7 cups sugar9 jelly jars (8 oz size)

with rings and lids, steril-ized

I steril-ize my jarsby placingin a pot ofhot water,then bring-ing that toa boil andcontinue toboil 15minutes. Ithen turn

the heat off but leave thejars in. For the rings andseals, don’t boil, just keepin hot water. Now somefolks like to put the jars,etc. through the dish-washer and keep themhot.

Place berries, lemonjuice and pectin in verylarge pan over high heat,stirring constantly. Whenmixture comes to a fullboil, add sugar all at

once, stirring constantly.Bring back to full hardboil, one that cannot bestirred down, again stir-ring constantly. Thentime for 1minute. Re-move from heat and ladleinto clean, hot jars, leav-ing 1/4” headspace at top.Wipe rims with clean,wet cloth. Place seal ontop and secure with ring.Turn upside down for 5minutes to kill any bacte-ria that may linger on lidand to form a vacuumseal. Turn upright. You’llhear little “pings” as thejars cool. Press yourfinger in the center ofthe seal. You should notbe able to push the centerup & down if the seal iscomplete. If it’s not, juststore those in the frig.The others can be stored

in the pantry for up to ayear.
