This issue recently reared its head in a dispute between neighboring properties, but it’s more common across the com- munity than one might suspect, said Paul Drury, Anderson Township’s planning and zoning director. Anderson Township uses the definitions and rules outlined in the Ohio Revised Code to handle any nuisance complaints. The law doesn’t specifically say tall grass – it uses the catch-all term vegetation nor does it set height limits or specify front, side or rear yard. “There is room for interpre- tation, but this statute allows township trustees to declare a property a nuisance and abate that nuisance,” he said. “We make a professional opi- nion, and (a nuisance) is deter- mined on a case-by-case basis.” This particular case centers around two homes that share a side and back yard property line. Jim Kammerer, who lives on Forestcrest Way, is not happy with the way his neighbors have let part of the backyard grow wild. He said he never spoke to his neighbor about his con- cerns, but has complained mul- tiple times and asked the town- ship to declare it a nuisance. “I pay good money to have our lawn mowed and main- tained, and it is upsetting to see uncut grass next to my proper- ty,” Kammerer said. “If it was in the front yard it would be a nuisance, but be- cause it’s in the backyard it’s not considered a nuisance. It makes no sense … and it seems like they’re (enforcing this) selec- tively.” But Gayle Sherman, who owns the home on Clough Pike that backs up to Kammerer’s yard, said it was a conscious de- cision to let that part of their yard return to a more natural state. “We mow quite a bit of our yard and it’s only partially natu- ralized,” she said. “About three years ago, we investigated (the options) and it was something we thought was appropriate for us. We did not believe we were in violation of anything.” She said it was a personal choice, and they checked local laws before letting the area grow. After Kammerer com- plained about this, township of- ficials came to check out the property, and he said they told him there was an “unwritten law” that allows people not to mow backyards if they desire. His concern is that this could lead to more people deciding not to mow their grass, which he Jim Kammerer has said his neighbor’s choice to let part of the yard grow wild is a nuisance, but Anderson Township zoning officials don’t see it that way.

How tall can the grass andvegetation grow in anAndersonTownship yard?

When does letting part of theproperty return to a more natu-ral state become a nuisance?

Are there specific require-ments for yard maintenance?

The answer to those ques-tions depends both on who youask and the interpretation oflaws for abating nuisances.

This issuerecentlyreared itshead in a dispute betweenneighboring properties, but it’smore common across the com-munity than one might suspect,said Paul Drury, AndersonTownship’s planning and zoningdirector.

Anderson Township uses thedefinitions and rules outlined intheOhioRevisedCode tohandleany nuisance complaints. Thelaw doesn’t specifically say tallgrass – it uses thecatch-all termvegetation – nor does it setheight limits or specify front,side or rear yard.

“There is room for interpre-tation, but this statute allowstownship trustees to declare aproperty a nuisance and abatethat nuisance,” he said.

“Wemake a professional opi-nion, and (a nuisance) is deter-mined on a case-by-case basis.”

This particular case centersaround two homes that share a

side and back yard propertyline.

JimKammerer, who lives onForestcrest Way, is not happywith thewayhisneighborshavelet part of the backyard growwild. He said he never spoke tohis neighbor about his con-cerns, but has complained mul-tiple times and asked the town-ship to declare it a nuisance.

“I pay good money to haveour lawn mowed and main-tained, and it is upsetting to seeuncut grass next to my proper-ty,” Kammerer said.

“If it was in the front yard itwould be a nuisance, but be-cause it’s in thebackyard it’snotconsideredanuisance. Itmakesno sense … and it seems likethey’re (enforcing this) selec-tively.”

But Gayle Sherman, whoowns the home on Clough Pikethat backs up to Kammerer’syard, said it was a conscious de-

cision to let that part of theiryard return to a more naturalstate.

“We mow quite a bit of ouryard and it’s only partially natu-ralized,” she said. “About threeyears ago, we investigated (theoptions) and it was somethingwe thought was appropriate forus. We did not believe we werein violation of anything.”

said would lead to manynuisance complaintsacross Anderson Town-ship.

But Drury counteredthat it’s not somuchanun-written law as there is nota specific mandate regu-lating vegetation.

“There is nothing (inthe law) thatprohibitsyoufrom growing grass tall,and one of the main rea-sons why we don’t have aspecific height limit is be-cause everywhere is notthe same,” he said.

“It’s a judgment calland we take it on a case-by-case basis. There ishuge move toward sus-tainability … and some-times the preference isnot to have a manicuredyard.”

This situation echoes ahandful of others aroundthe township where twoopposing neighborhoodscollide, and these issuesmost often arise whenthere are older homes onlarger lots sharing prop-erty lines with newer,higher density subdivi-sions, Drury said.

And that’s what is hap-pening here.

“Thishousehasbeen in

my husband’s familysince the 1950s and thehouse was there long be-fore Forestcrest,” Sher-man said.

“It is just a matter ofchoice … and I don’t con-sider it a controversy.”

Because of the law’slack of specificity, Drurysaid the character of theneighborhood definitelyplays a role inwhat is con-sidered a nuisance.

While township staffevaluates complaints, it isultimatelyup to theBoardof Trustees to decidewhether a property is anuisance and take action.

proposed Route 24 stop-ping near the Universityof Cincinnati and makingriders transfer to con-tinue downtown, but thatis no longer part of the up-coming changes.

Williams said she usu-ally rides the bus to UC,but sometimes goes todowntownCincinnati, andthose changeswould havemade her trip even moredifficult.

“It’s kind of hard to getout here because the bus-es come (less often),” shesaid.

Other changes along

Route 24 include modify-ing the loop around Wol-fangel and State roads,near Mercy Hospital andtheAndersonTownship li-brary branch.

That portion of theroute will stay, Sieverssaid, but buses will notcome back around thesame loopandwill insteadleave from the AndersonTowne Center shoppingarea to head west down

Beechmont Avenue.Sievers said they’re

working with the Krogerstore to make a tempor-ary bus stop and waitingarea along Towne CenterWay, which connects theAnderson Center Station,7832 Five Mile Road, toBeechmont Avenue andWolfangel Road.

Metro previously con-sidered closing the park-and-ride at the township

operations center, 7954Beechmont Ave., for theRoute 75 Express line andeliminating the Route 30Express neighborhoodloop that extends alongBeechmont Avenue andserves Eight Mile Road,Clough Pike and NagelRoad.

The self-generatedevaluations, which areseparate from Ohio’s an-nual school ratings, list 10categories ranging fromacademics to parent andcommunity involvementin 16 local school systemsserving nearly 100,000area students.

Officials among the co-alition of districts saystate report cards onlyshow inadequate “snap-shots” of a school’s or dis-trict’s overall perfor-mance.

Dallas Jackson, ForestHills Local School Dis-trict superintendent, said“more than a year ago, Isat down with a group oflike-minded superinten-dents to discuss how we

might better communi-cate to our communities amore complete picture ofour school districts.”

“Annually, the state re-port card offers a ‘snap-shot’ of what’s happeningin our schools based onthe outcome of state test-ing and analysis of otherdata such as demograph-ics and socioeconomicfactors,” said Jackson.

Forest Hills officialstout their students’ SATand ACT average scoresand point out their highertotals to national aver-ages.

Twenty Ursuline students inthe Spanish class of Blanca Ris-don of Fairfield, were inductedinto the Spanish Honor SocietyNov. 13.

The new members are AnaAguilar of Loveland, BrennaBarber ofMason,MonicaBock-horst of Loveland, Camille Bor-ders of Mason, Sarah Con-naughton of Sharonville, ErinGeorge of Mason, Katie Geor-gopoulos of Springfield Town-ship, Hannah Hoffer of Maine-ville, Paige Kebe of Loveland,Fatima Khalid of Mason, Shan-nonKronenberger ofKenwood,Kayla McCarthy of Maineville,Susan Morand of Loveland, Sa-rah Reilly of Hyde Park, Caro-line Smith of Montgomery, Kel-ly Spiller of Liberty Township,

Cate Brinker (president) ofAnderson Township and EllenHinkley (co-president) of Indi-an Hill, who were inducted lastyear, presided the inductionceremony.

According to Risdon, mem-bership into the Spanish HonorSociety is by invitation of theUrsuline Spanish teachers, whohave the sole responsibility forthe Society and its by-laws.Membership is based on thehonor average in Spanish of A-for three consecutive semes-ters of study and that the stu-dents be of good character as

defined by the handbook of Ur-suline Academy.

The Honor Society studentsmust demonstrate enthusiasmand continued interest in theSpanish language and the Span-ish-speaking people of theworld. In addition, the studentsmust pay yearly dues to helpsupport the Society’s “adopted”child in a Spanish-speakingcountry.

Risdon said, “We sponsor achild in Guatemala throughChildren International, and thestudents write her letters forher birthday, for Christmas andEaster,” adding that there willbe other community service op-portunities during the schoolyear for the students to partici-pate in.

As I’ve mentionedbefore, I know when arecipe hits a chord withreaders by the amount ofresponse it generates

long afterit’s pub-lished.This isparticular-ly true ofseasonalrecipes,like roast-ed toma-toes.

Thisrecipe is

slightly different fromone I shared last year.Tomatoes are in seasonright now and the home-grown/best are abundantat farmers’ markets.

As for me, my toma-toes are the best I’veever grown and sincemost of them are theindeterminate type, theykeep bearing all seasonlong. I’m not even be-grudging the groundhogseating their share, there’sthat many! When I dofind veggies and fruitthat have been bitten intobyMother Nature’s clan,I just cut them up andfeed them to my girls(my chickens). Theymake a quick meal ofthem,

Tomatoes are full oflycopene, which is goodfor our hearts, men’sprostates and our im-mune system. Plus theyellow and orange toma-toes have just as muchnutrition as their redcounterparts.

Roasted regular-sizetomatoes withherbs (or not)

Preheat oven to 400-425 degrees. Cut toma-toes in half. Lay eithercut side up or down (Ilaid mine cut side downbut next time will laythem cut side up since Ithink that will keep moreof the tomato flavor in).Drizzle with olive oil andsprinkle on any herbsyou like – basil, thyme,rosemary all work well.But be sure and chopthem up fine. I also liketo add salt and pepper.Roast until skins start tolook spotty if you areroasting skin side up.Otherwise, roast untiltomatoes look wrinkledand are soft.

Let cool and, if youlike, remove skins. Thefirst time I made them Ididn’t remove the skins,but when I used them incooked dishes they werea little tough. My sugges-tion is to remove them orput them in the blenderor food processor and theskins will process smallenough. You will wind upwith more of a puree ifyou put them through theblender or food proces-sor, but the bonus is youget the nutritious bene-fits of the skin. Freeze indesired quantities.

Roasted cherrytomatoes withherbs and garlic

This is nice since ev-erything is mixed in aboil and then just pouredonto a sprayed pan toroast. Delicious as a sidedish and, if you want tofreeze them, you caneither leave the skins on(they may be a bit tough)or puree them as direct-ed above. Now you canalso roast these plain,with just a sprinkling ofsalt and pepper and oil.

Preheat oven to 400-425 degrees. For everypint of cherry or grapetomatoes, add a teaspoonof minced garlic, a driz-zle of olive oil to coatnicely, and salt and pep-per. Just mix this up in abowl. If you have anyherbs, again like basil,thyme or rosemary, chopup fine and add to taste.Pour onto sprayed bakingpan and roast until skinslook spotty and a bitpuffy, about 20 minutes.

Baked potatonachos with secretingredient

For Bart L., who likesthis spicy appetizer atrestaurants but wants tomake them at home. Byboiling potatoes first,they bake up really nicein the oven. And the se-cret ingredient thatmakes these so differ-ent? Ranch dressing!

10medium red or Yukongold potatoes

1 pouch ranch salad dressingJalapeño slices (optional)16 oz. shreddedMexicanblend or favorite cheese

16 oz. sour creamGreen onions or chives,

sliced thin

Cook potatoes withskin on: cover with coldwater and a dash of salt.Bring to boil, reduceheat, cover and cook justuntil tender, about 15minutes. Drain and coolso that you can cut theminto thick slices. Preheatoven to 375 degrees.

Put slices in singlelayer on sprayed bakingsheets. Sprinkle eachwith the dressing mix,jalapeños, and thecheeses. Bake uncoveredfor 8-10 minutes or untilcheese melts. Dollop withsour cream and onions orchives.

He told me that there is anIRS warrant against me andmy wife for not paying an out-standing due of $3,761.45 in my2010 tax return. A case wasregistered against me by IRSthrough their attorney, Mr.Brad King.

I was asked to pay theamount immediately (withinthe next 30 minutes), otherwisea warrant for my arrest wouldbe executed. I asked this gen-tleman to send me the papersto see what IRS was talkingabout. He told me that sincethe case was in court, I hadless than 30 minutes to pay up.

However, I was adamantand demanded that I see thecharges before paying a dime.

This individual told me that if Ididn’t pay the amount the war-rant would be executed and theHamilton County Sheriff’soffice would arrest me.

He even said that therewould be a look-out noticeissued against me and my wifeso that if I left the country Iwould be caught at the airport.

By now I was convincedthat something wasn’t right,and I refused to pay over thephone. The gentleman said thathe would go ahead and executethe warrant of arrest againstme.

The next morning FridayJuly 12, I called up the IRSoffice and spoke to an agent.This lady at the IRS office

listened to my concerns andassured me that there are nooutstanding charges pendingagainst me or my wife. It wasdefinitely a scam to extractmoney fromme in the pretextof a federal crime.

I also followed up with theHamilton County Sheriff’soffice and the person thereassured me that there was noofficer by the name of RapidyWatson in their office, and alsotheir batch numbers don’t gothat high. So clearly it was aSCAM and I was lucky that Idid not end up paying thecrooks!!

WHEN THEYMEET

Last week’s questionShould U.S. lawmakers and

their staffs continue to receive afederal contribution toward thehealth insurance that they mustpurchase through soon-to-openexchanges created by PresidentBarackObama’s signaturehealth-care law to prevent the largelyunintended loss of healthcarebenefits for 535 members of theSenate and House of Representa-tives and thousands of CapitolHill staff. Why or why not?

“Yes. Everyone scheduled toreceive a contribution fromem-ployers should still receive thatcontribution, no matter forwhom they work.

“If the conservatives andObama-haterswould just give ita chance they’d see all the goodthat the Affordable Care Actcan accomplish instead of try-ing to repeal it 40more times inCongress.

“It’s meant to help the poorand uninsured just like theNewDeal back 70-oddyears agodur-ing the Great Depression.”

TRog

“Although it would be nice ifmaking lawmakers pay fortheir own health care wouldbring their attention to theplight of most Americans, thecost of their personal insuranceis chump change compared tothe campaign contributionsthey get from the special inter-ests in the medical field.

“Since Citizen’s United it’s afree-for-all for rich individualsand corporations. The onlything holding some of the worstof them back is the sheer im-practicality of most of theirideas.

“Whatwouldworkbetter is ifmore citizen voters would paymore attention to how some ofthese creeps in Columbus andWashington vote, andgive themunlimited vacation time at thenext election.

“Unfortunately with themedia breaking into venues,which allow people to get thenews they want as opposed tothe news that is actually true,we’re going to have an uphillbattle getting any sort of con-sensus on public health in ournation.

“Fortunately, the AffordableCare Act is already cuttingcosts formanyofus, andeven ifit doesn’t solve the bigger prob-lems itwill set the stage for con-tinued dialogue.”

N.F.

“Kind of a moot question.The Congress will do whatever

is best for them and not what isbest for the American people.Period.”

J.Z.

“The Democrats yes, the Re-publicans no! Seriously, wheth-er its health care or retirement,government should not be al-lowed to vote its own membersand staff better benefits thanthose available to the rest of thepopulation.

“A single term in congressshouldn’tentitleyoutoanythingmore than Cobra benefits whileyou look for new employment.If ex members of governmenthad to survive on Medicare orMedicaid and Social Securitythose would be good programs,and yes, we all might have tocontribute a bit more to ensuretheir long-term future.”

D.R.

“If these people are alreadyreceiving a contribution fromthe government (their employ-er) it should continue. If thismeans they will not have to getObama-care like the rest of us –shame on them!

“We should all be in this boattogether. That way if and whenit starts to sink they’ll have anincentive to fix or replace it.”

R.V.

“Of course not! But this ro-deo clown has set a new stan-dardofpickingwinners and los-ers for political reasons, pay-backs for contributors and fa-vors to his base.

“Large corporations, unionsand the IRSandnow lawmakersare getting special exemptionsfrom this disasterous law. Mosthard working Americans arenot surprised by a good screw-ing from the federal govern-ment, but unfairness to this de-gree creates tremendous angerand animosity.

“When is the last time yousaid: ‘Wow, this will be great’when you heard of a new law orgovernment program??”

D.J.H.

CH@TROOM

NEXT QUESTIONShould the U.S. continue toprovide financial and militaryaid to Egypt following themilitary’s overthrow of its demo-cratically elected governmentand it’s deadly attack on pro-testers?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via e-mail. Send youranswers [email protected] withChatroom in the subject line.

There are not many thingsmore dear to me than thesafety of our children, espe-cially when they are in schoolunder the watch of our teach-ers. I have a granddaughterin the third grade and hersafety is of utmost impor-tance to me.

After readingMr. Kleinsletter about myself and sever-al other people making com-ments in the chatroom sec-tion last week it is evident tome that Mr. Klein thinks onlyhis opinion is valid.

Mr. Klein talks about howhe has the right to have gunsand to use them if he seesnecessary. No one is going totry to take your guns awayfrom you. I have guns and mywife has her carry and con-ceal ... and she carries.

I wish hehad stayedmore on thetopic of ourteachersbeing armedin school.

Mr. Klein,did you reallyneed to tearinto some ofus just be-cause we

voiced our opinions? Usingwords like “blatant lies,”ignorance and even callingone of us a coward. Was thisreally necessary?

You say you are from An-derson Township; most of usaround here don’t talk likethat. It kind of makes mewonder ...

I could be wrong on all of

this – and I would be the lastto say I know everything –but in my opinion Mrs. Jones,who is 5 foot tall and weighs100 pounds, has been trainedas a teacher, not a policewom-an, and she should not be inthe school with a gun.

On top of that do you reallythink teachers want that re-sponsibility? I doubt it.

If you readMr. Klein’s lastparagraph you can tell he isgetting really upset. It isclassic reading.

In closing, Mr. Klein, try totone down your rhetoric andmaybe quit watching so muchDoomsday Preppers.

Is it really OK not to cutbackyard in Anderson?

I contacted Anderson Townshipabout high grass in someone’syard in reference to the law:505.87 Abatement, control, orremoval of vegetation, garbage,refuse, and other debris.

I was told that there is an “un-written law” that allows people tonot mow their backyard if they sodesire.

I was curious howmany peoplehave heard of this “unwritten law”and what they think about it.

MT. WASHINGTON — TheMcNicholas Rockets footballteam has been to the playoffstwo of the last three seasons.Head coachMikeOrlando looksfor more of the same in 2013.

“We want a sustained suc-cess,” he said. “For us a 5-5 yearis a bad year. If we’re not outhere competing for games andtitles, we’re not where we wanttobeasaprogram. It’snotgoingto be easy.

“It’s not that we’re terriblyyoung, but we have some inex-perience. We have to grow upand become some leaders. Thissenior class has not had a lot ofsuccess on its own. I think theywere 0-for as freshmen anddidn’t have a winning record asJVs.As juniors, theywere in theshadow of last year’s seniors.It’s time for them to step up.”

Senior Bryan Corpuz leadssix returning starters on of-fense. Orlando said the 6-foot-4lineman is a definite collegeprospect.Alsobackup front aresenior guardKent Schaeper, ju-nior center Nate Gorman andjunior guard Will Allgeier. Ju-nior tackle Zach Wood, a trans-fer student, rounds out the line.

Theywill protect a backfieldincluding junior quarterbackLuke Sulken, junior tailbackSean Byrne and senior runningback Dom Gabriele. Receiversinclude seniors Matt Curranand Kevin Schmidt, as well asjunior Ted Tekulve.

“It’s no secret, we’re going totry tomakeourwayrunning thefootball,” Orlando said. “We’regoing to be very up tempo, nohuddle. We want to run a playevery 15 seconds in real timeand keep defenses off balance.But at the end of the day you

have to be able to run the foot-ball and stop the run. As old asthe game is, that’s the key, nomatter what formations yourun.”

Defensively, middle line-backer Elliott Higgins and sen-

ior safetiesAustinVoelkers andDaniel Sandmann are the lonereturning starters. Curran andTanner Cardone play corner-back. Seniors Andrew Hay andJohnny Adams anchor the de-fensive end slots and classmate

Tyler Gumbert plays lineback-er.

A trio of sophomores in line-backer Nick Staderman andends Jacob Cheek and RyanByrne should add depth to theRockets’ 4-3 defense.

ANDERSON TWP. — TheSpartans enter 2013withatarget on their backs. NotonlydidTurpinhaveaper-fect 10-0 regular seasonand win the inauguralEastern Cincinnati Con-ference in 2012, they wontwoplayoff gamesandad-vanced to the Division IIregional final.

“We approach it thatway with our kids,” saidhead coach Rob Stoll. “Asdefending leaguechamps, everybody is go-ing to be trying to knockyou off. I’d rather be un-der the radar a little bit,butoneof thebestpartsofbeing part of a successfulprogram is that expecta-tions are high and thekidsare working hard to liveup to that.”

Turpin graduated 23players from last seasonand has some holes to fill,to be certain, but also hassome crucial players re-turning.

Offensively, seniortackles Yanni Gregg andTylerErnstarebacktoan-chor a line that will pro-tect new junior quarter-back Pat Fetch. His pri-mary targets will be sen-ior wideout PaytonSpencer and junior DavidEckert. Seniors SpencerSingh and Dylan Hallarreturn at running back.

“Our skill positionshave looked really good in

camp,” Stoll said. “I think(Fetch) manages the of-fense really well. His keyto success is can he makeother people shine?”

Defensively, look forGregg and Ernst to teamwith veterans JacobBeinke, Mitchell Farmerand Hunter Tidball tomake a formidable frontline. Also back are seniorlinebacker Jeff Weberand defensive back JakeHambene. Hallar willplay linebacker, too.

Juniors Owen Carpen-ter and Andrew Molloyshift to the defensivebackfield after primarilyplaying running back lastseason. Keep an eye onfreshman Lang Evans,who couldmake an imme-diate impact at lineback-

er.“He’s one of those

dudes who has a motorand is always going fullspeed,” Stoll said.

Singh will handle mostof the punting duties forTurpin, while sophomoreAustin Jacksonwill be theplace kicker.

Stoll is anxious to startthe season, but isn’t look-ing too far ahead.

“We haven’t looked be-yond (opening opponent)Withrow,” he said.“They’ve been the focusof our practice, of gettingready for the season.”

NEWTOWN — It’s not quite“The Junction Boys” and BearBryant, but youdohave to crossrailroad tracks to get to MiamiValley Christian Academy’spractice field.

In his fourth year of buildingMVCA’s football program, Rob-ert Vilardo walks the plains ofShort Park in the village ofNewtown, whistle in hand.

“Newtown is awesome withus,” Vilardo said. “They let ususe this whole park. They takecare of it for us. It’s just a greatrelationship between the schooland Newtown.”

He would like to have indoorfacility of some sort, but fornow, a pair of meeting trailersand awalk through thewoods tothe makeshift gridiron willhave to suffice.

Having started MVCA foot-ball in 2010 with 16 kids, nine ofwhom had never played, Vilar-do knows building takes a greatdeal of patience.

In the process of becoming afull-fledged OHSAA competi-tor, MVCA will play similarschools this season. They startwith Finneytown out of the Cin-cinnati Hills League.

“That’s a big game for us,”Vilardo said. “We’ve neverplayed a team at this level.We’re done with all of the non-OHSAAschools.This is ourpro-bation year. It’s is the directionwe’re going.”

In the past, the Lions coulddrawathleteswhoattendedoth-er schools. While it helped theiroverall numbers, outside par-ticipants are a thing of the past.

“If they’re on our team,they’re a student at our school,”Vilardo said.

That said, MVCA’s roster isdown from 35 to 25 kids out of a

school of 90.They’ll scrimmage Lockland

and play in a league featuringRiverview East, Gamble Mon-tessori, Oyler, and CincinnatiCollege Prep Academy

“We feel pretty confident wecancompete,”Vilardosaid. “It’sa good little league for us.There’s some talent in thoseschools.”

While MVCA is predomi-nately a running team, Vilardowas deciding on a quarterbackat presstime between seniorsLayne Cherry, Gavin Carsonandhissophomoreson,BransenVilardo.

“All three of those guys willbe on the field,” Vilardo said.“Whichever one wins the quar-terback position, the other twowillbeon thefieldat receiveror

tight end.”Running the ball for the Li-

ons will be the trio of seniorAlex Dammerman, junior Jor-dan Conklin and sophomoreJames Heaton.

MVCA’s best defender is 5-11, 250-pound Austin Privett.Like most of the squad, he’ll beon the field a lot. Joey Hallbergis also a returning linebacker.

“Everybody has two posi-tions obviously,” Vilardo said.“The biggest thing with us, ob-viously with small numbers, isinjuries. I’ve got to be smartcoaching. We can’t just go outthere and beat each other upand have guys sore on Fridaynight.”

MVCA now plays mainly onFridaysandusesTurpinandAn-derson as their home field.

AND — ERSON TWP. — Peopledon’t remember the start. It’sthe finish that matters. And forthe last few seasons of Ander-son High School football, theending hasn’t been a fairy tale.

“We were 3-3 last year withfour games to go and we lost allfour of them,” said head coachJeffGiesting. “That’s one of ourpoints of emphasis this season:Finish strong. Whether it’s anindividual play, a practice, agame.Weneedtofinishstrong.”

The Redskins will look to aveteran defense – although onerevamped to a 3-3 stack fromlast year’s 3-4 scheme - to helpachieve that goal.

Returning is the team’s lead-ing tackler from last season,senior free safety Josh Correll.SeniorsDerekMellenkamp andJared Forbes join him in thesecondary, as do senior corner-backs T.J. Turner and ThomasCampbell.

Senior captainEvanLacknerleads a linebacking corps thatalso includes senior ShelbyWil-son and junior Cody Coffey. Upfront, 250-pound senior noseguard Tim Combes will beflanked by junior ends AugieMurphy and Josh Knollman.

Offensively, Giesting saidsenior quarterback Kevin Rog-ers should garner some Divi-sion I NCAA attention. He willbe protected by a veteran linethat features University of To-ledo recruit Alex Pfeiffer, aswell as senior Evan Spanglerand junior center Jake Bridges.Junior Austin Fucito mans thetailback slot in the pistol of-fense.

Sophomores Ryan McCle-land and Dylan Smith handlethekickingandpunting, respec-tively.

“Wefeel likewe’ve improvedour team speed from last year,”Giesting said. “We want to give

our play makers a chance tomake plays in space. But ulti-mately, we’ve got to be able toclose out and win games.”

WALNUTHILLS—TheWalnutHills High School Eagles havehad 5-5 records in three of thelast four seasons andwould liketo get back to the playoffs asthey did two years ago. In 2011,Walnut Hills had a historicalbest year of 8-3.

Last year, some injuries andyouth took its toll. This fall,head coach George Kontsis hassome experienced players tomix in with a few who mighthave to grow up quickly.

“Offensively, we have sevenstarters returning,” Kontsissaid. “They’re all perimeterskill guys. We’re going to haveto fill some gaps with somesophomores as offensive line-men. We think they’re going tobe pretty good someday, but weneed them to be good now.”

With projected 2012 startingquarterback Jake Desch in-jured last season, then-sopho-more Kevin Blount was handedthe reins. In his first varsityseason, hewas third in theEast-ern Cincinnati Conference inpassing with 948 yards. He alsowas the team’s leading rusherwith 702 yards and nine touch-downs.

“He can run, he can pass, butthe thing aboutKevin is he’s gotthe ‘X factor’,” Kontsis said.“He’s very confident, verysmart and makes things hap-pen. He understands what our

schemeis.He’s likeanextendedcoach on the field.”

After playing at around 180pounds last season, Blount hasaddedanother20pounds fordu-rability.

Thedefensive sideof theballfeatures University of Louis-

ville commitNilijahBallew.De-spite not playingall of 2012,Bal-lew has turned some heads.

“We made him a captain inthe offseason,” Kontsis said.“He only played half the yearbecause he went down againstKings with a foot injury. He’scompletely healthy now.He rana 4.42 40 at Ohio State and wetimed himout here at 4.48.He’llbe one of the anchors of our de-fense.”

Also on the attack for the Ea-gles when they don’t have the

ball areKyrenPalmer,Mike Se-liga andJordanFuller.All of theEagles are eyeing their SkylineChili Crosstown Showdown op-ponent, Sycamore.

“That would be a great winfor us,”Kontsis said. “They’re agreat GMC team. We took thatgame to get better.”

After hosting Western Hillsand going to Fairfield, the Ea-gles look to improve last year’s2-4 mark in the ECC.

“Everybody is strong andgetting stronger,” Kontsis said.

“Glen Este did a great job lastyear. Anderson is Anderson.Kings is always strong. Turpinis Turpin. Milford’s getting bet-ter. Loveland has a new coach.They were good last year andare getting better. In 2014 theleague really gets better withWithrow coming in.”

HYDE PARK— If you’re a fix-ture in high school coaching,ClarkMontessori is becoming acommon destination.

Recently, veteran SteveSheehan has led the Cougars,before retiring and makingway for new head coach JoeBerta.

Sheehan has since moved onto Withrow to assist Jim Place,but Berta didn’t waste muchtime replacing the experience.

It probably was a number heknew by heart as he reachedout tohis father,BobBerta.BobBerta started the Turpin HighSchool program and ran it for27 years. Most recently, he wasdefensive coordinator atMcNi-cholas.

The younger Berta alsoreached out to Ken Minor, theReading High School legendwho last coached atWilmingtonCollege.

Now, the 2001 Turpin gradu-ate has the helm of the ClarkCougars and a wealth of knowl-edge behind him.

“Having two guys aroundthat have done it is such a posi-tive influence for me,” Bertasaid. “I learn something everyday from them. It’s going tohelpme down the road be a bet-ter head coach.”

Joe Berta was a Clark assis-tant the last four seasons andalso has assisted at Madeira.He had 25-30 kids at workoutsthrough the summer and haseight back on defense and sev-en on offense.

The 2013 Cougars have bothexperience and experiencedyouth.

“We started eight freshmenlast year,” Berta said. “Even

though the schemes and every-thing are new, football is notnew to these guys.Wehave sen-iors that are three-year start-ers. Six of them.”

Thequarterbackbattle is be-tween sophomore Mark Secenand senior Lamont Ragan.

“He’s a raw athlete and canthrow the ball a little,” Bertasaid of Ragan. “We want com-petition in every position wehave.”

Ragan is the smaller of thetwo and returning tailbackRaeshawn Brown is another

“mighty mite.”“He’s a load,” Berta said.

“He’s about 5-foot-6, but hislegs are tree trunks.”

Clark has three returning of-fensive linemen getting somecollege interest, so they’ll pri-marily be a running team. One

of those is Jordan Whaley-Wat-son.

Another possible collegeprospect who could help mid-way through the season isXavi-er Ferguson. The transfer fromSycamoremust sit the first fivegames.

“He’s a big boy with leader-ship characteristics that youjust don’t come into a newschool and have,” Berta said.“He’s definitely an inside back-er. He’ll get fullback work, tail-back work; he’s a football play-er. He was born to play foot-ball.”

WithveteransBobBerta andKen Minor getting to come outand teach, JoeBerta is trying tomaster organization, practiceplans and game strategy.

His first crack will comeAug. 30 against Hughes. AllClark home games are playedat Withrow High School.

Cincinnati Enquirer coach ofthe year Mike Brown returns agood number of starters fromthat team and looks for moresuccess in 2013.

“(We have a) strong seniorclass with great leadership andhard workers,” Brown said.“(This is the) third year in a rowwith the samecoaching staff, sofamiliarity by the players withourphilosophy is really startingto show.”

Summit returns seven start-ers on offense, including 6-foot-2 senior quarterback Anto-nio Woods, the reigning MVCplayer of the year. Woods isweighing NCAA Division Ischolarship offers in both foot-ball and basketball. Woodsthrew for more than 900 yardsas a junior while running formore than 800 more.

Indiana University recruitMichael Barwick Jr. - at 6-foot-3, 300 pounds - anchors theoffensive linechargedwithpro-tecting Woods. Senior DanielBruns, a 6-foot-5, 190-poundtight end,wasoneof the top fivereceivers in the MVC last sea-son, and should be a prime tar-get again this season.

Summit returns six starters

on defense, including Woods inthesecondary,Brunsasadefen-sive endandBarwickas an inte-rior lineman.

Junior C.J. Suggs (34.8 yardsperkick return as a sophomore)and senior Gage Goodwin (21)bring some sizzle to specialteams. Junior Cole Bush aver-aged 31 yards as a punter last

season.Brown said new starters will

have to grow up fast.“Replacing the six seniors

(who graduated) - three ofwhom were two-way startersandall six startedat least ononeside of the ball and gave signifi-cantminutes on both sides - willbe key for us,” he said.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. — De-fenses better be prepared forthe bevy of offensive weaponsthe St. Xavier Bombers are go-ing to bring to the field in 2013.

Senior quarterback NickTensing returns after throwingfor nearly 2,000 yards and 17touchdowns to just six intercep-tions. Coach Steve Specht notonly loveswhat his quarterbackcandoon the field, butalsowhat

he brings to thehuddle.

“(I’ve seen)tremendousgrowth as far asleadership iscon-cerned,” Spechtsaid. “… He’sable to do thingsthat we wouldn’tbe able to dowith

anybody else. He’s really takento the leadership role.”

Tensing is one of four teamcaptains along with runningback C.J. Hilliard, left tackleRich Kurz and the versatileRyan Frey.

Hilliard torched defensesfor nearly five yards per carryand nine touchdowns in 2012.After hitting theweight room inthe offseason, defenses shouldexpect to see more of the bigback this season.

“… C.J. is practicing harderthan I’ve ever seen,” Spechtsaid. “He finally learned how topractice.He’s at a different lev-el than he’s been the previousthree years, but that’s how it’ssupposed to be when you’re go-ing into your senior year.”

For the Tensing-Hilliard

freight train to roll down hill, arebuilt offensive line is going tohave to come together. Kurz isthe lone returner and the rest ofthe starters are still to be deter-mined, according to Specht.

The defense is led by juniorlinebacker Justin Hilliard, whois one of the most recruitedplayers in the state of Ohiowithmore than 20 offers frommajorDivision I colleges.

“… He is a different playerand he’s as advertised,” Spechtsaid. “There’s a reason he’s get-ting all these college scholar-

ship offers. I think Justin hasthe chance to be as good as any-body we’ve ever had on the de-fensive side of the ball andthat’s high praise coming fromme.”

While the Bombers lose fourof their five starters in the de-fensive secondary, they returnsix of their starting seven upfront at linebacker and defen-sive line.

Frey will hold down the cor-nerback position and see timeon the offensive side of the ball,while Nick Carovillano will

move from the defensive line tomore of a hybrid outside line-backer.

The Bombers begin the sea-son ranked No. 24 in the nationbyRivals.comand, according toMaxPreps, have the10th-tough-est schedule in the country.

Outside of playing theirleague games in the GreaterCatholic League South, theBombers take on Colerain,Cleveland St. Ignatius, WarrenCentral (Indianapolis), Brent-wood Academy (Tenn.) and BenDavis (Indianapolis).
