PARTY ON THE PLAZASummer Concert Series

ANDERSON TWP — . ForestHills School District Superin-tendent Dallas Jackson is step-ping down.

The decision was announcedMonday night in an email fromthe Board of Education to dis-trict parents.

Jackson stepped down Mon-day, and the board will officiallyaccept his resignation when hepresents it at the next meeting,board President Randy Smith

said.Board members are working

on the details of a separationagreement, Smith said, andthey’ll meet sometime in thenext few days to appoint an in-terim superintendent. That willallow for a thorough search fora full-time replacement.

The board “felt this was inthe best interest of the district,and this is the first step in mov-ing the school district forwardin a positive direction,” Smithsaid.

Jackson has been under

scrutiny sincemore than twodozen TurpinHigh Schoolteachers signeda letter to theschool board al-leging Jacksonbullied teachers

into changing grades after hisson failed an exam.

The school board hired Da-vid P. Kamp, an outside investi-gator, to look into the situation.

Retired Forest Hills teacherMarianne Davis was overjoyed

to hear that Jackson will resign.“I think the district got a big

boost this day, when they said,‘Enough,’” Davis said. “Andpeople realized, ‘Well, the boardreally does have the children inmind.’

“The issue was not mathscores. The issue was leader-ship.”

Jackson started in 2010 atForest Hills. His contract runsthrough July 2018, and his basepay in the 2014-2015 school yearwas $147,500, plus $186,800 inbenefits, according to docu-

ments in his personnel file. There were no reprimands

or disciplinary actions in thefile.

The Enquirer first reportedthe investigation on April 20.Since then, there have been dif-ferent rumors every day aboutwhat would happen, Davis said.

The problem, she said, is thatwhen people don’t know what’sgoing on, they invent it.

“I’m just really glad that it’sgoing to get better,” she said.

When most people look atLake Barber in Newtown,they see blue-brown waterslapping a shoreline but-tressed by bushes and trees.

Mary Beth Knight seespeople paddle boarding, kay-aking and canoeing.

Knight owns RevolutionFitness, a facility with exer-cise options inside and outthat opened two months agoat 3652 Round Bottom Road.

Lake Barber Park is inRevolution Fitness’ backyard and the reason Knightopened her business in New-town, where village officialsare gearing up to open thepark for limited use — hope-fully in June - while they so-licit ideas for its long-termdevelopment.

Knight has no shortage ofitems on her wish list for therecreational haven off RoundBottom and Edwards roads,which includes the 55-acrelake and another 20 acres ofland surrounding it.

“One goal of ours is to hosttriathlon training on LakeBarber,” Knight said.

“We aim to become a certi-

fied triathlon facility andhope that someday soonOlympic potentials will betraining right here in New-town.”

“Connectivity” to LakeBarber Park is a high priorityamong the business, commu-nity and Newtown villageleaders from whom opinionshave been solicited by Hu-man Nature Inc. of FortWright, Ky. – consultantsNewtown hired for $10,000 tohelp the village plan the fu-ture of the park and to identi-fy possible grants to fund itsdevelopment with access viaEdwards Road.

“There is a clear interestfrom all stakeholders in con-necting this site to the LittleMiami Trail and nearbyparks, schools and neighbor-hoods,” Human Nature saysin an interim report.

“There may be benefits tocreating a joint recreationdistrict with (the AndersonTownship Park District) and/or Great Parks of HamiltonCounty that provide a struc-ture for partnerships on thissite and other nearby parks.

“This possibility should beinvestigated early, as it couldimpact potential facilities,

operations and funding,” thereport says.

When Lake Barber Park

opens this summer the publicwill be invited to walk or jogalong the wide path that cir-

cles the water, and to fish

HANNAH SPARLING/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

A crowd awaits the start of Monday night’s Forest Hills Boardof Education meeting.

Motorists be prepared– the season of barrelsand orange cones is near-ly here.

Even before the icemelted, Anderson Town-ship had a complete list ofroad and bike trail pro-jects for 2015.

One of the biggest pro-jects this summer is ofhigh interest to bicyclists– the extension of the Lit-tle Miami Scenic Trail,Township Assistant Ad-ministrator for Opera-tions Steve Sievers. Workwill not begin until late in

the summer, he said.This project is the re-

sult of a partnership be-tween Anderson Town-ship and Great Parks ofHamilton County and in-volves adding a three-mile link to the trail thatextends south from theLittle Miami Golf Coursein Anderson Townshipthrough Newtown’s ShortPark and Anderson’sClear Creek Park, ex-tending along a route par-alleling Ohio 32 to theCincinnati RecreationCommission parking loton Ohio 32 near Speed-way gas station. Thetownship and Hamilton

County parks are eachpaying 10 percent of theproject’s more than $2.4million cost.

Another high-profileproject is the continuousflow intersection. Workbegins this summer, butshould have limited im-pact on motorists, Sie-vers said. The focus willbe on the relocation ofutilities. This phase issplit between the town-ship and Hamilton Coun-ty. Each entity has paidabout $500,000, he said.

This summer into thefall, Wolfangel Road be-tween Bowen to Beech-mont will be widened tomake way for center turnlanes and a traffic signalat the Bowen and Wolfan-gle intersection, Sieverssaid. Additionally, alongTowne Center Way, a newroadway connection toBowen Street will be con-structed.

Motorists traveling inthe area of Mount CarmelRoad, Vicbarb and Apple-blossom lanes could ex-perience delays from latefall into late spring as theresult of a local sewerproject by the Metropoli-tan Sewer District ofGreater Cincinnati.

Davis said about 250volunteers help with theevent.

The race is an opportu-nity for students in thedistrict to get involved in

something beyond theclassroom, according toLarry Chialastri, a volun-teer for the event and ahealth teacher at TurpinHigh School.

“I (see) this as a

chance to get involvedand give back,” he said.“Reading out of a book isgreat, but applying someof our topics to real lifesituations is even better.

It’s (a) win-win for

all.”Participants can pre-

register or register onthe day of the race start-ing at 7 a.m.

A festival will followthe race and continue to

about 11:30 a.m. The festi-val includes a deejay,food, games and activ-ities for children.

A Walnut Hills HighSchool student is amongfour teens charged in arobbery plot that officialssay involved a gun, surgi-cal gloves, duct tape, zipties and a hatchet.

The 17-year-old ischarged in HamiltonCounty Juvenile Court inconnection with a plot thatofficials say included twonow-former Seven HillsHigh School seniors, Da-vid Morad and his twin sis-ter, Alexis Morad.

The Morads, both 18,have been expelled, ac-cording to a school spokes-woman. Walnut Hills HighSchool officials did not re-turn a message seeking in-formation about the 17-year-old’s status with theschool.

BRIEFLY

Three key governmen-tal entities in AndersonTownship continue effortsto collaborate as they metfor a second time in exec-utive session to discussland acquisition.

The Anderson Town-ship Board of Trustees, theAnderson Township ParkDistrict Board of Commis-sioners and the ForestHills Board of Educationall met in executive ses-sion May 1. The three firstmet in March to discussland acquisition.

“We had a good discus-sion. We talked for over anhour and there’s a lot ofgood ideas out there,”Trustee Josh Gerth said.

The concept is, for themost part, there, he said.Now the question is finan-cially can it be done?

“Without that piece Ihate to get people excitedabout something we can’tdo or concerned aboutsomething we can’t do,”Gerth said.

As a result of Friday’smeeting, there’s morehomework to be done on

the financing and the pro-tection of the townshipresidents, he said.

“We need to make surethat there is no risk in whatwe do. So that requires alot more due diligence onfinancing,” Gerth said.

The park district willmove forward with plansto send to Beech AcresParenting Center a letterof intent to purchase. Thepark district has until May8 to make its intentionsknown to Beech Acres.

Earlier this year, BeechAcres offered to sell theRecPlex and 28 acresalong Beechmont Avenueto the park district for $5.4million.

In April, the board ap-proved two bond issueamounts to potentiallyplace before voters – a 1-mill bond and 0.7-millbond. During a recentmeeting, the board dis-cussed the possibility of amillage rate of 0.8-mills.

A 1-mill, 20-year bondissue would raise nearly$24.5 million enabling thepark district to buy theRecPlex and land and tomake upgrades and im-provements to the Rec-Plex and the district’s oth-er parks and facilities.

A 0.7-mill, 15-year bondissue would raise morethan $12.8 and would pro-vide funds to buy and ren-ovate the RecPlex and the28 acres.

A 0.8-mill bond for pos-sibly 15 years would raisemore than $14.6 millionper year and allow for a lit-tle extra money for un-foreseen issues that dur-ing renovation projects.

During its meeting 6:30p.m. Tuesday, May 12, thepark board is expected tocontinue discussions. Theboard meets at the JuilfsPark administrative of-fice, 8249 Clough Pike.

from the shore.Newtown soon will so-

licit residents’ ideas forthe park -- and announce acontest to rename it sinceit gets its moniker comesfrom a long-ago owner.

“We believe that willhelp council identifysome good names that aremore in keeping with thenew area,” said NewtownVillage Councilman JoeHarten, who is chairmanof the village’s Parks andRecreation Committee.

Meanwhile, some ofthe suggestions for LakeBarber Park collectedfrom community leadersby Human Nature in-clude:

» Building shelters,piers, docks and small na-ture and conference cen-ters.

» Installing sand vol-leyball courts on theshore and inflatable float-ing bouncing play equip-ment on the lake.

» Renting canoes, kay-aks and paddle boats.

» Heavily stocking thelake with fish.

» Offering day-camp,scuba-practice, nightglow-ball golfing andschool-oriented environ-mental-study programs.

“Council has not takena position on any ofthese,” Harten said.

“The intent is to haveHuman Nature work upseveral possible alterna-tives for public reviewbefore proceeding fur-ther.

“But you start thinkingabout this and, this can goin so many different di-rections,” Harten said.

There is one directionplanners are unlikely to

take.“I think we want to

steer clear of any motori-zed activities,” Harten

said.“Certainly at this point

we are not planning onhaving motorboats on the

“But this could gofrom a very, very passiveplace building nothingmore than just a path, allthe way to a more activeplace, including somepublic meeting space likea lodge or some sort ofgathering facility,” Har-ten said.

Tapping Newtownbusiness leaders for in-put into the future of LakeBarber Park may sur-prise few, consideringone village businessmangot the park-opening ballrolling.

Doug Hall, founder ofEureka! Ranch at 3849Edwards Road, gaveNewtown $20,000 to buythe park in 2010.

Doug Evans, who ownsEvans Landscaping at3700 Round Bottom Road,

built a house, dock andrecreational fixtures on1.5 acres at Lake BarberPark in 2000 – a decadebefore the village boughtthe property.

Evans and Newtownreached an agreementwhereby Evans can con-tinue to use the house andimprovements so long ashe paid $290,000 to build aparking lot off EdwardsRoad and a pedestrianbridge over a small creekto link the lot to Lake Bar-

ber and the walking patharound it.

The agreement alsocalls for Evans to pay thevillage $1,000 a year for25 years to lease the prop-erty.

The lease twice may berenewed for 10-year peri-ods at payments to be ne-gotiated in the future.

Bake cinnamon rolls, crab cake for mom

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

Homemade cinnamon rolls are a delectable treat for mom.

Ann Kean’s cool rise cinnamonrolls

Ann uses the cool rise method for herclass. “We can make a yeast bread beginningone day and finish it the next day and evenbake the third day, if necessary”, she said.

1. Mix

2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour1 cup whole wheat flour3/4 cup sugar1 teaspoon salt2. Dissolve1 package active dry yeast and1-1/4 cups 100-degree milk

4. Add and stir into the flour mixtureMilk/yeast mixture

2 eggs, slightly beaten2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

5. Add an additional 1 to 1-1/2 cups flourand mix well.

6. Knead dough for 8 minutes.7. Place dough in an oiled bowl; cover

and let rise for about 2 hours until doughdoubles.

8. Roll out dough into a 14 by 18-inchrectangle.

9. Spread filling made of:

1/2 cup barely melted unsalted butter1 cup dark brown sugar or combo of any

sugars3 tablespoons cinnamon

Leave less than an inch edge all the wayaround.

10. Roll from 18 inches side making aroll.

11. Cut into 16 rolls. (Ann says do notsaw when cutting, just press down).

Myrtle’s crab cakes

Talking about another “mom with influence,” this recipe fromfriend, Perrin Rountree is an heirloom favorite. Perrin is an An-derson Township reader and wonderful cook.

“Family is everything to me,” she said. I remember fondly herstories of her Grandma, Myrtle, which were always connected withfood. Try this when you want a delicious and easy crab cake. Perrintold me her Grandma Myrtle’s strength and love of family sustainsher every day. “Hers was a gentle but firm love. We knew with justa look when we were behaving poorly, and with that same look wealso knew how much we were loved.”

Well said! As with all heirloom recipes, there can be variables.Like the saltines. You may need more than the recipe says, or youmay not. You want to be able to have the crab cake be nicely

formed and keep its shape but not be dry.

1 pound lump crabmeat4-5 shakes TabascoSalt and pepper to taste4-5 crushed saltines or few more if necessary1 egg, beaten2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoningFresh chopped parsley (opt)

Place crabmeat in bowl. Add other ingredients and mix lightly.Shape into 4 patties. Heat oil in heavy skillet. Over medium heat, fryuntil golden brown on both sides. Serve with extra Tabasco and tartarsauce or your favorite seafood sauce.

I LOVED OUR FAMILY HOMEbut there was a lot of stress and expense that went along with it. Living there alone was no longer worth the trouble. Making this move wasn’t an easy choice but now I only wish I’d done it sooner. Now I can enjoy living with my friends and experiencing life again!

It’s a shame that manyWestern leaders, includingPresident Obama, will notattend the May 9 Victory Dayparade in Moscow markingthe 70th anniversary of theend of World War II in Europe.

Seventy years has notpatched relations betweenRussia and its wartime Allies –the United States, Britain andFrance – who banded with theUSSR to fight Hitler’s Germa-ny but aligned with it on littleelse.

Seventy years post-war,hostility raging over the Uk-raine crisis in no way dimin-ishes the suffering of the Sovi-et Union’s people from 1941 to1945. A staggering 27 millionof them died in the war, morethan half civilians, a strikingnumber juxtaposed with 300thousand Americans dead.

Everyone in the formerUSSR knows wartime stories,says Valentina Kazachenok ofMinsk, in Belarus, 70 years

ago a Sovietrepublicwhere one infour peopledied in thewar. Hearingthese stories,“one cannotremain indif-ferent,” shesays.

She offersthe story of

her grandmother, with hernewborn the only survivorsafter German troops shot allother residents of her village.

“Not everyone today un-derstands the true cost ofthese horrifying events,” saidZumrud Kerimova, a 20-some-thing in Dagestan. She worriesthat young people do not ap-preciate the magnitude ofwartime tragedy.

“Dagestan sent 180 thou-sand men to the war. Halfnever came back.”

Viktoriya Putilovskaya

lives in Volgograd, namedStalingrad during the war andsite of some of the war’s mostgruesome fighting, with morethan a million Soviet militaryand civilian deaths.

“Everything here is per-meated with the spirit of vic-tory and yearning for a newlife,” she says. “We must re-member the millions who gave

their lives so we might live.We owe them this memory.”

Victory Day hits a nervewith Russians rather as 9/11does with Americans.

“We will never let anybodyforget the millions of victims,”said Alexander Markov ofKrasnoyarsk, in Siberia. Aschildren, he and his brotherbegged their grandfathers,both wounded in the war, totell their stories. Both refused.

“We spent a lot of time withthem in silence, in reflection. Iremember the tears in theireyes.”

For today’s children, Rus-sian cities are staging Immor-tal Regiment parades in whichthey can march carrying pic-tures of their wartime ances-tors.

For those old enough toexperience first-hand WorldWar II or the post-war multi-decade housing and foodshortages, rebuilding andwounded and traumatized

parents and grandparents,“memories of the war exist atthe genetic level,” Kazache-nok says.

Moscow’s Victory Day pa-rade is a solemn commem-oration of a tragedy, a tributeto heroism and sacrifice, “aholiday with tears in theeyes,” according to a well-known Victory Day song. Or-dinary Russians hope we hearthe message they intend toconvey. As Oleg Vereshchaginof Astrakhan, on the VolgaRiver, tells it, “As the nationthat sacrificed more thananybody else on the victoryaltar, we remember what aworld war is about.

At the Anderson TownshipTrustees meeting April 16,members of the DemocraticParty, the Republican Partyand the tea party were therein significant numbers to hearthe results of the Park Board’ssurvey on the November 2015levy and to protest the An-derson Township Park Board’sproposed property tax levy.

This did not happen forreasons found on the frontpage of the Forest Hills Jour-nal, April 22.

Yet a wonderful consensus

occurred asindividualsexpressedtheir views.Democrat, teaparty andRepublicancitizensseemed toagree that the$24.5 milliontax levy on thesurvey was too

much. Most seem to think that$8.77 million to buy and reno-vate the Beech Acres Recre-

ational Complex was accept-able. Most objected to theproposed $20 million plans tochange Johnson Hills Parkfrom a nature reserve to apark full of amenities alreadyavailable in other park loca-tions.

Many Anderson Democratsfilled out the Park Board Sur-vey, attended the Park Boardand Trustees’ meetings andencouraged all residents to dothe same.

Please notice that Demo-crats oppose a tax levy to fund

unwanted, wasteful and/orunnecessary features in ourparks. We oppose projects thatonly partially inform votersand ignore residents’ input.We do not support luxuries orwasteful spending.

We might support a taxlevy to purchase and to reno-vate the Beech Acres RecPlex,but oppose funding a wish-listof unrelated projects.

We will continue to followthe levy proposal, to pursuethe process, and to seek afrugal plan to fund the pur-

chase and renovation of theBeech Acres RecPlex. Weencourage everyone to exer-cise their freedom and duty toparticipate in our govern-ment.

Coming meetings: ParkBroad, Tuesday May 12, 6:30p.m. at Juilfs Park. Trustees,Thursday May 21, 6 p.m. at theAnderson Center.

April 29 questionWas Reds manager Bryan Price

right about what he said aboutmedia coverage hurting histeam? What is the media’s role incovering local sports franchises?

“Bryan Price was totally offbase in what he said about themedia coverage. The mediaisn’t there to be a friend of theteam and only cover goodnews, or put news out when theteam wants it, that would be apress release, that the teamcontrols.

“The media is there to coverthe team. He may (be upset)the information wasn’t releasedthe way it was, but the reality isthat it was. Instead of respon-ding to what he wished hadn’thappened he should have beenmature enough to address whathappened in an adult manner.

“He can take his concernsabout the local media to theReds upper management andthey can devise a strategy inhow they relate or release in-formation to the media.

“The media’s job is to report,not make sure the team, man-ager or a specific player ishappy. It was embarrassing interms of the content of his rantand it also made it look like hewasn’t ready to be a majorleague manager, which may bethe case. “

C.S.

“This is kind of like answer-ing that age old most danger-ous question: Do these pants

make my butt look fat? There-fore no, Price was wrong blam-ing the media coverage forhurting his team, his team’sperformance is hurting histeam. What part of this is sohard to understand?”

M.J.F.

“If a manager etc... wants tokeep some information frombeing disseminated he needs totell the reporters it is ‘off therecord.’ I would hope the localReds reporters would respectthat wish. But in this day ofpaparazzi and social mediascoops, Price should assumethe information will get out.His choice of foul language tocomplain about it was ridicu-lous.

“Keep in mind Reds Hall ofFame reporter Hal McCoy wasthe one who leaked the Bran-don Philips ‘hating the St. LouisCardinals.’ That led to quite analtercation a few years ago. Ofcourse that was when the Redsmade the playoffs under Dusty

Baker three times, yet he wasfired. Manager Price and GMWalt Jocketty will be gone byyear end. Go Figure!!!

T.D.T.

“Sorry, never heard of him.Unfortunately, we don’t have asports franchise. The closestone in in Columbus. Maybenext year, Blue Jackets. A

bunch of your veterans are onthe Rangers.”

THANKS TO MCNICHOLAS HIGH SCHOOL

McNicholas High School held a signing day for five of its student-athletesApril 29. (Back row left to right) Logan Jacobs (baseball) Thomas MoreCollege; Christian Null (soccer) Wittenberg University. (Front row left toright) Ericka Kaimer (track) Heidelberg University; Malia Smith (track)Thomas More College; Payton Ramey (basketball) Lourdes University.

After 256 picks over threedays, the NFL talent scouringis far from over. Many teamshave turned their franchisearound thanks to hidden gemssigned after the draft ended.

Greg Mancz, an AndersonHigh School and University ofToledo graduate, hopes to fol-low in the footsteps of his for-mer high school teammate andgo from undrafted rookie freeagent to NFL starter in thespan of a few months.

Mancz dominated competi-tion and earned the respect ofhis coaches, teammates, andopponents in his five yearswith the Rockets. Following hisredshirt senior season, he wasnamed the Vern Smith Leader-ship Award winner, given tothe top player in the Mid-American Conference as votedon by the conference’s headcoaches. Such an award is rare-ly bestowed upon an offensivelineman, but Mancz proved tobe a rare talent and leader.

At the conclusion of his finalseason, it looked like the Rock-ets center would be a surefireNFL draft pick. Then, more ad-versity struck Mancz. He torehis labrum during Shrine Bowlpractice and had to have sur-gery. That caused him to slipout of the draft, which mightjust be a blessing in disguise.

“I was very nervousthroughout the day (Satur-day),” said Mancz. “There wasa lot of anxiousness, and therewas a lot of relief when Isigned.”

After going undrafted,Mancz signed a free agent con-tract with the Houston Texans,a team that did not select an-other offensive lineman in the2015 draft. Mancz was floodedwith offers from severalteams, but chose Houstonbased on their depth chart.

“I have the opportunity toprove that I’m worthy of mak-ing the roster,” said Mancz.“It’s not about where you start;it’s about where you finish.”

Even after suffering the in-jury in the postseason, Manczreceived support from hisfamily, team, and, somewhatsurprisingly, NFL scouts. Thatkept him motivated and confi-dent that he would still have a

chance to make a pro roster.“They told me to just keep

my head down and keep work-ing,” he said. “Everybody wasso supportive.”

That support extended tohis high school team. For thesecond straight year, a formerRedskins lineman signed withan NFL team as an undrafted

MT. WASHINGTON — FromApril 14-24, McNicholas was oneof the hottest teams in the city.The Rockets won seven gamesin nine days.

Since then, they’ve cooled offa bit by losing three of four in-cluding Greater CatholicLeague Coed division games toRoger Bacon and frontrunnerBadin. Still, the Rockets havereasons to be optimistic.

McNick limited a pretty po-tent Rams’ offense to just fiveruns April 29. The only problemin that game was the defense let-ting down starter William Kling.

“We’re not going to beat agood team when we give up fiveunearned runs,” McNicholascoach John Christmann said.“Overall, we have been playingvery well and it’s because of ourpitching. Our pitching has beenoutstanding.”

Their pitching staff has al-lowed five or more runs in justthree of the team’s 17 games.

Liam Brooks hasn’t given upan earned run in seven relief ap-pearances. Zach Arnold, AdamVickers, Jordan Ritter, SamBrowning and Jordan Whitmoreall have earned run averages un-der 1.50.

Kling has been the ace of thestaff. As of May 1, he was 4-0with 23 strikeouts in 23 1/3 in-nings. He also held a tidy .30ERA.

“He has given up one earnedrun in five outings now. That’sit,” Christmann said. “That’sspectacular. He’s done morethan I could ever ask for.”

Having great pitching is onething, but those hurlers need runsupport.

Fortunately for them, theRockets have done a good jobwith that as well. Six players arecurrently hitting better than.300.

free agent. Andrew Norwellended the 2014 season as astarting guard for the CarolinaPanthers.

“We are very proud of Gregand all that he has accom-plished,” said Anderson head

coach Jeff Giesting. “He was ahard-working, intelligent play-er for us and that carried overto his career at Toledo. Gregdeveloped his leadership skillsas he matured and was alwayswilling to be his own man andnot be a follower.”

Despite the injury, Manczwas hopeful that this momentwould arrive. When it finallydid, nobody was more excited

than his mother, Mary Beth.The moment he signed with theTexans was the culmination ofseveral years of overcomingadversity, working hard, andstaying focused.

“Everyone joked that mymom was the one who signed,”said Mancz. “This has been mydream since I was 4 years old.”

After that, the Rockets willbe embroiled in another in-stallment of the King of theHill series with Anderson andTurpin.

“We’re capable of winninganother five or six games in arow, there’s no question,”Christmann said. “We justhave to play McNick base-ball.”

For the first time since 2004,two local runners broughthome the bacon in the FlyingPig Marathon.

Hamilton native AdamGloyeske, 26, won the 17th run-ning of the 26.2-mile race in2:32:55 and Montgomery resi-dent Amy Robillard, 35,claimed her second straightvictory in the women’s mara-thon. She finished in 2:53:10,eclipsing her 2014 time by morethan two minutes.

“It feels great. It’s alwaysbeen a goal of mine to win thePig, but I didn’t think it wouldhappen this year,” Gloyeskesaid.

Nearly 20,000 marathon,half-marathon and relay racersanchored the Pig’s record en-tries in weekend events. A com-bined 37,770 participants fromall 50 states and 22 countriesconverged on city streets.

But the biggest subplot wasthe wide-open men’s marathon,as four-time winner SergioReyes bowed out with a foot in-jury well before Sunday’s race.Gloyeske, fourth in 2014, saidthe biggest factor in his winwas Reyes’ absence.

“It’s kind of (tough) that he’snot here. He’s such a big part ofthis race,” Gloyeske said.“Hopefully he’ll be back nextyear and I’ll be stronger andhopefully be able to roll withhim.”

The Badin High School andNorthern Kentucky Universitygraduate, who’s now pursuingacupuncture at the AmericanInstitute of Alternative Medi-cine in Columbus, trailed an-other runner – Texan Matt

Carey – for nearly 19 miles.Then Carey lost steam, and

Gloyeske seized control de-spite a left hamstring injurythat lingered for the final fivemiles. He held off second-placefinisher David Bea (2:35:25) ofKenwood and third-place EricHunziker (2:38:54) of AndersonTownship.

Bea, who’s married to 2012women’s marathon champ Ra-chel Bea, was thrilled with hispersonal-best time. The 35-year-old set the new mark de-spite nagging ailments, includ-ing a heavy stomach.

“Those last few miles I defi-nitely felt like I had a piano onmy back. I just continued to tryto knock off time a little bithere and there and startedcounting the miles down,” Beasaid.

Hunziker, 45, coached forTri-State Running Club thisyear and had immense supportfrom familiar faces on thecourse. He said he felt muchbetter than last year, when hefinished seventh in the mara-thon. He also set a personal rec-ord.

But he never came close to

overtaking the lead.“I never saw Adam after the

first five, six, seven miles. Hewas way ahead,” Hunzikersaid.

Robillard entered the mara-thon with a much different per-spective than Gloyeske – main-ly more pressure, as she had atitle to defend. She was so farahead of second-place Ander-son High School math teacherKerry Lee (2:59:28) and third-place Utah pediatrician AlisonDelgado (2:59:55) that she wasnever seriously challenged inher bid to reprise her role.

“I’ve never experienced thatbefore, where people know youand they ask if you’re going towin. It was just a building upthis week. You see it on thenews. You see it everywhereand you’re like, ‘I’m human!’ Ijust tried to enjoy it and soak itin,” Robillard said.

Her motivation remainedher kids – daughter, Addie, andson, Jamo – who cheered her onthroughout the race. Jamo wasdiagnosed with a blood-clottingdisorder soon after he was bornand needed a bone marrowtransplant when he was just 5months old. He has been in re-mission since then.

Lee, 40, finished No. 2 forthe second time in the last threeyears. The cross country andtrack coach knew she wanted torun her 20th marathon at thePig, her favorite race, but for awhile she wasn’t sure she wouldhave the chance.

Pelvic inflammation forcedLee to take off six weeks duringthe winter.

“The doctor told me I had a50 percent shot of running thePig, so I wanted to take the up-wards of the 50 percent. Iworked my tail off with a reallyawesome physical therapistand was motivated by my (stu-dents) as well,” Lee said.

She ran part of this year’smarathon with Delgado andfourth-place P.J. Ball, the 2004women’s champ.

Delgado’s story is perhapsthe most well-known in thegroup. She won the Pig in 2005as Alison Bedingfield and latersuffered a horrific cycling ac-cident in which she nearly losther life. Not only is she feelinggreat, but she said this Pig washer best marathon yet.
