Everything old is newagain as sleigh bells ringin Christmas in LovelandSaturday, Dec. 14, in his-toric downtownLoveland.

This is the second yearthe Loveland holiday tra-dition is organized by theLoveland Area Chamberof Commerce with cham-ber president and CEOCeeCeeCollins inher firstyear.All the traditional fa-vorites are back again.Jim Fierro’s chestnutsroastingoveranopenfire,the live Nativity fromNew Hope BaptistChurch, choirs and cho-rales singing carols onstage, Santa Claus, thetrain ride, Christmasshows at the Stage Com-pany theater, carriagerides and so much more.

“This is a way Love-land businesses say thankyou to the residents ofLoveland,” Collins said.“Everything is free. Ev-erything that is out andabout from 4 to 9 p.m. isfree to anybody thatcomes down.”

The Loveland StageCompany holiday show“Tis the Season,” directedby Tom Cavano, will fea-ture the LSC dancers cho-reographed by MarjoryClegg dancing the “Danceof the Wooden Soldiers.”Jack Hasty will direct thesingers performing popu-lar carols like “Deck theHalls” and “Sleigh Ride.”

“They have quite a va-riety of dancers,” TheStage Company’s Pat Fur-terer said. “Shows are at5, 6 and 7-o-clock.”

All three perfor-mances are free to the

public and last about 30minutes.Fromdecoratingornaments, ChristmasCarol sing-a-longs, to vis-iting Santa Claus, all thefun features are free. TheRaku firing of clay orna-ments returns for thethird year at the WhistleStop Clay Works.

“Raku is a unique rapidand spontaneous methodof glazing and firing claywhich was created in Ja-pan in the 16th century,”explained Tim O’Grady,co-owner, Whistle StopClayWorks. “Theceramicwork is quickly heated to1820°F in about 45 min-utes, and then removedglowing-red with tongs.”

Kay Bolin-O’Gradyrecommends you arrivebetween3:30p.m.and5:30p.m. to glaze your orna-ment and insure its spot inthe kiln. There are six fir-ings scheduled, first load-ingofkilnat4:45p.m.withthe last one scheduled for7:15 p.m.

“Watch the actionwhile warming up by thebonfire, or relax insidethe studio,” she said. “Youcan take your complimen-

tary ornament home withyou that night, or comeback thenextweek topickit up.’”

Christmas in Lovelandis sure to pick up yourholiday spirit with all theshops decorated in holi-day style and offering avariety of activities. Pi-zazz will be packed full ofSanta’s elves helping withChristmas crafts. TheLovelandMusicAcademywill provide a warm cozyplace to listen to thesounds of the season andenjoy warm cheer withyour neighbors.

They’ll bemakingmore than the tra-

ditional loop around townthis year.

“The Historical Soci-ety really wanted to be apart of that,” Collins said.“We’re going to have aspecial carriage that goesjust to theHistorical Soci-ety and back. And we’llhave one going to the ArtStudios on main as well.”

Mount Notre Dame studentswent to Liberty,KY, on a servicetrip and to get a taste of a moresimple way of life – to slowdown, breathe and get closer toGod.

Liberty is a small towntucked into the hills of centralKentucky, and home to manywonderful people and a slowerpaceof life.Forsevenyears, stu-dents and adults have visitedLiberty to work with the resi-dents who live lives focused onsimplicity and faith. The week-end of Oct. 24-27, 56 studentsand12 adultswent to experiencethe way of life in Liberty.

While in Liberty, the groupworked on several organicfarms (picking, planting, sort-ing, watering, preparing theground, cleaning plants, trim-ming), helped elderly and dis-abled, spent time with residentsat the non-profit Galilean Chil-

dren’sHome,helped install elec-trical wire in a communitychurch, shoveled manure,helped with construction pro-

jects, spent time with the chil-drenofthecommunitywhohavebeen through somemajor trage-dies the past two years, and

muchmore.The MND team also devel-

oped a sense of communityamong participants and friends

in Liberty: together they playedvolleyball, enjoyed folk music,have bonfires, lay under thestars and reflect about life.

“I believe that no one canreally understand what Libertyis until they experience it them-selves. To say that Liberty iseducational is an understate-ment and I look forward to thenewstories, thenewlessons thatIwill encounter on future trips,”said MND student from theclass of 2016,Maria Beckman ofLoveland, who participated inthe trip.

MNDmakes the trip toLiber-ty three times a year, and theyoften do a Christmas visit to seethe local play. The organizer ofthetrip,ToddForman,MNDfac-ulty member, has been takingstudents and adult chaperonestoLibertysince1988.This isFor-man’s seventh year atMND andthis wasMND’s 23rd trip.

CANTON — The community of Love-land sent off their high school gridironguys with lights, cameras and all of thefanfare accorded an undefeated team.

After all, the last time LovelandHighSchoolhadanunblemishedrecord,Rich-ard Nixon had been elected for his sec-ond term as president and the Big RedMachine had yet to win a World Series(losing to Oakland in seven games in1972).

Coach Fred Cranford inherited atough, athletic squad from the departedAndrew Marlatt and led the Tigers to aseason similar to the one locals remem-ber 41 years ago.

Thebiggestdifferencewas, the ‘72Ti-gersweredenied aplayoff berth. The ‘13version not only made the playoffs, butblisteredVandaliaButler andNorthwestbefore pulling wins against MountHealthy and Zanesville out of their col-lective hats.

That put them against the ClevelandGlenville Tarblooders on a snowy nightat Canton’s Fawcett StadiumDec. 6.

Loveland torched the Tarbloodersearly. Undeterred by an opening drivefumble at the one-yard line, the Tigerscamebackwith a 66-yard score at 4:23 ofthe opening quarter when freshmanLuke Waddell scampered through theflakes for six.

Thesecondquarterwasall theTigers’tale.

“Wecameout firingonall cylinders in

every section,” senior fullback GunnerGambill said. “I couldn’t believe the firsthalf we had.”

Senior Mike Weber’s fumble recov-ery led to sophomore quarterbackDrewPlitt hitting senior Tre Heath from 22yards out at 8:37. Then, senior JamesCa-niglia found the football on defense set-ting up senior teammate Gambill for afive-yard trot to glory.

Twelve seconds later, senior BeauNgu cashed a pick six ticket from 50yardsout tomake it27-0.Then itwassen-ior Tanner Griffin with an interceptionthat led toPlitt hitting senior JakeElfersfor a 34-0 halftime score.

“Weplayedverywell in thefirsthalf,”Cranford said. “I thought we executedand took advantage of the turnovers.”

The halftime show consisted of foursnow plows and a truck with a blade try-ing to clear the field as the “white out”continued in more ways than one.

In thesecondhalf,Glenvillegotontheboard, but Lovelandwas able to success-fully eat the clock on the ground. Gam-bill scored again in the third quarter tomake it 41-7 and finished the night with115 yards to complement LukeWaddell’s175.

The Tarblooders scored twice afterthat, but the Tigers early lead proved in-surmountable.

The final was Loveland 41, Glenville23 as the Tigers finished the season 15-0scoring more than 35 points in everygame but one.

“I thought we came right in them andexecuted our gameplan,” Cranford said.

“We grounded it out and defense winschampionships.”

The Tigers defensive unit recoveredfour fumbles and had three intercep-tions.

“Our defense really stepped it up,”senior Charlie Lawler said. “I’m speech-lessrightnow. It’sbeenoneheckofarideand I’m so proud to be a Loveland Tiger.We stamped ourselves in history.No oth-er team can come in and beat us. Theycan tie us, but they can’t beat us.”

CANTON— It would be easy tooverlook Moeller High School’sreturn to theDivisionIstate foot-ball finals with, “Oh, they’re al-ways there.”

While that might be the im-pression to an outsider, Crusaderfansknow that 2012’s state cham-pionshipwas the first since1985.For perspective, 72-year-oldReds legend Pete Rose had justbroken Ty Cobb’s all-time base-ball hit record that year.

In Moeller’s “heyday,” coachGerry Faust won back-to-back-to-back state titles between1975-77. Before leaving for NotreDame, he won again in consecu-tive years in 1979-80. After that,coach Steve Klonne won titles in1982 and 1985.

This year, again with Klonneonhisstaffof talentedassistants,coach John Rodenberg joinedFaust as the only Moeller coachtomake two straight title games.

Rodenberg’s Crusaders heldoff Mentor 55-52 to travel southwith their second state trophy inas many years.

“I don’t even worry aboutthings like that,” Rodenbergsaid. “I just think our kids didsuch a great job. It’s all about thekids. It’s a special group.”

The blue and gold nevertrailedafter jumpingout toa13-0lead on first quarter deepballs tosenior Isaiah Gentry and juniorChase Pankey from senior quar-terback Gus Ragland.

Mentor cut it to three twice asquarterback and UC commitConner Krizancic led the Cardi-nals on scoring drives with hispassing and scrambling. Howev-er, Moeller’s Ragland was equal-ly as talented with his arm andfeet as the Crusaders answeredbackwitheitherNo.14scoringorfinding Kent State commit Gen-try alone again (naturally).

Krizancic cut it to three for afinal timewith :44remaining,hit-tingEddieDaugherty fromthreeyards out for his second touch-down toss of the game.

At 55-52, Mentor then at-tempted an onside kick thatwentout of bounds, allowing Moellerto knee the ball out for the vic-tory.

Both signal callers lived up totheir billing. Krizancic ran for102 yards and three scores andwas 36-55 passing for 419 yardsand two scores.

Ragland had the game of alifetime with 189 yards rushingfor five touchdowns to go alongwith a12-13 passing night for 273yards and three scores.

“I owe it all to the guys upfront,” Ragland said. “Theyplayed a great game and our re-ceivers did their jobs. I had eighttouchdownsbuteveryoneputmein position to be successful.”

There’snotmuchrest forRag-landahead.CarlKremer’sMoell-er basketball team will use himand they play Dec. 13 at Taft.Come March, the redheadchucks the small ball from themound for the defending statechampions of TimHeld.

“Every team has a Gus Rag-land,” Rodenberg said. “Gus wasthere for us tonight and got somebig plays. I’m proud of the wholeteam.”

LovelandIn a tough Eastern Cin-

cinnati Conference, sec-ond year Loveland HighSchool coach JaclynJoneswill look to improveon last season’s sixth-place finish.

Loveland returns 15girls and nine boys. Themost decorated swimmeris senior Kate Randall,who made ECC first teamin the 200 and 500 free-style last winter and isclosing in on a record inthe 500. Randall has al-ready committed to Ash-land University. Addingto Randall’s experience inthe water are teammatesMegan Day, Audrey Jew-ell, Emily Michelfelderand Ashley Day.

“I have a huge group ofgirls and this allows us tohave a lot of depth,” Jonessaid. “We can win meetswith depth, but we alsohave a ton of talent on theteam. I’m excited to seewhat this girls team cando.”

Jones also notes thesize of her freshman girlsclass and is looking for animpact there.

Notable Tiger boys areKyle Jarc, David Os-borne, BobbyOlberholzerand Cameron Spicer.

“The boys have a lot ofnew faces as well,” Jonessaid. “I’m excited for the

returners to see howthey’ll compete and hap-py that we have a lot ofnew swimmers; especial-ly seniors who decided tocome out for the team. Ihope to see a lot of greatgrowth and huge im-provements this year.”

After a tri-meet withMilford and Walnut Hills,the Tigers will be atPrinceton Dec. 19.

“Both teams shouldhave great seasons andI’m most excited aboutseeing the kids reachtheir highest potentialthis year,” Jones said.

MoellerThe Crusaders had a

historic 2012-2013 seasonand look to rewrite therecord books again thisseason. Last year’s squadset a school record bysending nine qualifiers tothe state meet. Seven ofthe nine are back thisyear, boosted by a talent-ed group of underclass-men. Senior Greg Nym-berg, an Ohio State com-mit, leads the team. Sen-iors Chris Asgian(Providence commit),Charlie Braun, Tory Wo-robetz, Fritz Josephson,and Kyle Smith giveMoeller one of its most

talented and experiencedclasses.

Nymberg, junior Kev-inGeorge, andsophomoreCooperHodge earnedAll-American accolades lastseason. Junior Noah Wo-robetz and sophomore Ja-cobPeloquin, both return-ing state qualifiers, willbe countedon to score sig-nificant points, said Har-rison.

After consecutiveeighth-place finishes atthe Division I state meet,the Crusaders are expect-ing to crack the top five.Nymberg (100 fly) andGeorge (500 free) will tryto defend their individualdistrict championshipswhile helping lead relayteams to the podium.

Mount Notre DameNew head coach Jim

Barbiere brings a statechampionship pedigree tothe Cougars. The formerSt. Xavier swimmer wonOhio state championshipsin high school and quali-fied for the 2012 OlympicTrials, placing 25th in the200 freestyle.

brings his knowledge andexperience to Mount No-tre Dame. The Cougarswill be led by Graci Doll,Katie Kruspe, LindsayScott, Anna Lucas, andGrace Adkins.

The Cougars open theseason on Dec. 13 at theBlue Ash YMCA againstLoveland andMadeira.

vision I state champion-ship last season, ending athree-year streak as staterunners-up to that otherUA – Upper Arlington -from the Columbus area.Head coach Brad Ishamgraduated nine seniors,but has three returningsenior state qualifiersaround whom he hopes tobuild another successfulsquad.

Senior Emily Slabe –who signed with the Uni-versity of North Carolinanext season – leads the re-turnees and swims thebackstroke and butterfly.Classmates Temarie Tom-ley in thefreestylesprintsand Alisabeth Marstellerin the individual medleyand freestyle bring addi-tional state experience.
