Sycamore Junior HighSchool students are eatingbreakfast in their first classof the day -- a move school of-ficials said can lead to im-proved behavior and more en-gagement in the classroom.

The breakfast in the class-room program started at thebeginning of the 2014-15school year as a way to getmore students to participatein the school’s breakfast pro-gram.

“The program gives thestudents another location inwhich they can pick up break-fast and arrive to class ontime,” said Kimberly Bouldin-Bryant, the cafeteria supervi-sor for Sycamore Junior HighSchool.

She added students whotake the bus have only 10 min-utes before their first classstarts, which doesn’t allow forenough to time to go to theirlockers and the cafeteria forbreakfast. With the new pro-gram, the students are able topick up their breakfast andeat it in their first class.

“Everyone in the buildingis on board with the program

and the kids couldn’t be happi-er,” Bouldin-Bryant said.

Bouldin-Bryant said therewas no additional cost to startthe program.

“We just needed to find a lo-cation. We are using the snackbar concession stand, whichworks wonderfully,” she said.

Bouldin-Bryant said theexact results of the programare hard to pin down becausethe students are in differentclasses; however, there isplenty of anecdotal evidencethat the program is working.

Seventh-grader ClaireJanssen, who is an ambassa-dor for Fuel Up to Play 60, hasbeen working with the pro-gram and said it helps her andher classmates concentrateand do their best in class.

“I think this program is im-portant because a lot of kidsdon’t eat breakfast at home.Having access to breakfasthere means kids can pay moreattention and absorb more in-formation throughout theday,” Janssen said.

Janssen encourages otherstudents to use the breakfastin the classroom program andpromotes healthy choices.

For the past eight years,Honor Flight Tri-State hasflown hundreds of male mili-tary veterans to visit Washing-ton, D.C. memorials free ofcharge.

On September 22, the Cincin-nati-based nonprofit is liftingoff with the first ever all womenveterans’ flight, marking itsown historic event.

“Some would say that theywish more women were on theflight,” Honor Flight DirectorCheryl Popp said. “No one everreally thought about having aflight for just women veterans –until now. The Tri-State flightwill be the first of its kind in thenation.” News about the flightwent out in early April and ap-plications are already beingsubmitted, Popp said.

Founded in 2007, the HonorFlight Tri-State was created tohonor America’s WW II, Koreanand Vietnam Veterans and allveterans over age 65, whoserved either stateside or over-seas, by providing them a free

trip to visit their memorials inWashington D.C. It is part of anational network founded in2005 that shares similar goals.

Senior veterans over age 65will have top priority on thisflight with younger veteransunder the age of 40 invited toserve as their guardians, Poppsaid.

Women have been includedin past Honor Flights that werepredominantly men, but usuallyno more than five at a time,Popp said.

One woman eager to be aguardian on the flight is AshleyBrunkel. The Clifton woman is aproud veteran who served nineyears with the Army NationalGuard. Her service included be-ing part of Operation NewDawn pulling the troops out ofIraq. She left the service in 2013to finish her degree from theUniversity of Cincinnati incriminal justice. Brunkel saidshe’s the first in her family tograduate from college.

The inspiration for all thatshe’s done, from serving hercountry to pursuing her collegedegree she attributes to her

grandfather, the late CliffordIreland.

“He was in the 3rd InfantryDivision in World War II in Nor-mandy,” Brunkel said. “He wassomebody in the family we alllooked up to.” Though he diedwhen she was young, betweenthe ages of 5-8, Brunkel recalledher grandfather inspiring her toplay a musical instrument andto get an education.

She’s always wanted to go onan honor flight, but has no veter-ans in her own family withwhom she can share the experi-ence. Being a guardian on aflight would give her an oppor-tunity to hear the stories ofwomen who had a very differ-ent experience from her own.

“They have stories not ev-erybody hears. To be on thisflight and help take care ofthem would be an honor. I’m anable body. I’m a veteran. I canhelp with that,” Brunkel said.

The memorials in Washing-ton D.C. are often not seen bythe very veterans that they hon-or, Popp said. The Honor Flight

Elected officials in thecommunities served byPrinceton City Schools arebeing asked to support asocial club of a specialgroup of students.

Princeton Pals parentleader Tara Thielmeyerhas contacted city and vil-lage councils of Evendale,Glendale, LincolnHeights, Sharonville,Springdale and Woo-dlawn, asking each elect-ed body to contribute $100so disabled students canparticipate in the PigAbil-ities at the Flying Pig Mar-

athon.Participants in the Pig-

Abilities event walk, runor wheel the final mile ofthe marathon.

The entry fee is $15 perperson, and Thielmeyer ishoping to collect $600 tocover that cost.

Princeton Pals is a so-cial club for high schooland middle school stu-dents in the district’s spe-cial education program. Itwas created in 2014 by par-ents who wanted to createopportunities for theirchildren to socialize.

Its mission: to provideleisure activities that willaid in the development of

social skills which will en-rich the lives of our mem-bers and allow them to ex-cel in school and in thecommunity.

Thielmeyer leads theeffort, as mom of 19-year-old Chase, who is autistic.

“Special ed kids learnmore through socializ-ing,” Thielmeyer said.“This club helps them de-velop more friendships.”

The club also includestypical students, as men-tors.

They have tailgated be-fore Viking footballgames, bowled and deco-rated a float for the home-coming parade.

But the outings have adual purpose.

“It’s a great way forus to get the energy weneed to get through theday,” Janssen said.

Bouldin-Bryant, thecafeteria supervisor,said studies show thatstudents that have hadbreakfast have in-creased test scores,less visits to the nurse,overall improved be-havior and are moreengaged in the class-room.

Students who eatbreakfast on a regularbasis score more than17 percent higher onmath tests and are 20percent more likely tograduate than stu-dents who don’t eatbreakfast, accordingto the American DiaryAssociation, whichrecognized theschool’s program dur-ing National SchoolBreakfast Week inMarch.

“I admire how hardyou work every day.”

That was the messageshared near tax time by aman standing at the cor-ner of Beechmont Ave-nue and Five Mile. Twit-ter was a buzz - “What’s itmean?” “What’s he do-ing?” “Who is that?”

Monday through Fri-day since April 13, some-one has stood at the cor-ner during rush-hourssharing uplifting mes-sages.

“I love telling the storyof how we met.” “Icouldn’t have asked forbetter parents.” Recent-ly, James Christian Jr.held a sign – “I will alwaysmake grilled cheese likeyou.”

Christian explainedthat he is an actor and oneof several strategicallylocated throughout Cin-cinnati sharing messagesas part of a campaign forHospice of Cincinnati.The campaign, #things-youshouldntwaittosay, istargeting the young andhealthy population to get

them thinking about hav-ing meaningful conversa-tions, public relationsconsultant Terri Horn-bach-Torres explained.

“It’s hard to reach peo-ple with a conversationabout the end of life,” shesaid. “So this is gettingpeople at their comfortlevel.”

The idea is to get peo-ple talking. It’s a fourweek campaign that endsMay 8.

The campaign reso-nates for Christian.

“This is very passion-ate for me. My motherwas diagnosed with ALS,”he said. The first sign, “Iadmire how hard youwork every day” spokevolumes to Christian.

“That was special tome,” he said. “That wasthe exact same phrase Iwould tell my mom.”When she went to thera-py, doctors’ appoint-ments, he would say thisto motivate his mother.

The #thingsyoush-ouldntwaittosay cam-paign is really about en-couraging people to havemeaningful conversa-tions with loved one, Hos-

pice of Cincinnati projectdirector of Conversationsof a Lifetime BarbaraRose said.

“Many of the thingspeople don’t talk aboutwith their loved ones iswhat’s important tothem,” she said. The cam-paign is filled with posi-tive messages that reso-nate with all ages, healthstatus, all genders en-couraging them to havemeaningful conversa-tions that are pretty easyto start.

One of the things peo-ple don’t talk about withtheir loved ones is what’s

important to them – whomight speak for them ifthey couldn’t, Rose ex-plained.

The campaign is partof the “Conversations of aLifetime” initiative byHospice of Cincinnati totransform end-of-lifecare in Greater Cincin-nati and improve end-of-life experiences, Rosesaid. The program willencourage earlier end-of-life planning conversa-tions between physicians,patients and families.

The #thingsyou-shouldntwaittosay cam-paign is the community

activation part of the pro-ject. Over coming weeks,more will be revealed

about this campaign and anew campaign will belaunched this summer.

In addition to socializ-ing among themselves andwith other students, clubmembers practice appro-priate behavior in socialsituations.

“It’s behavior thatholds them back, not skillslike reading and writing,”Thielmeyer said. “Weteach the kids how to act inpublic.

“When we went to “Tar-zan” recently, they had tobe quiet in the theater. Wetry to make it educational,as much as fun.”

Another outing took

them to school. Before theschool year began, Prince-ton Pals boarded a schoolbus, which took them tothe new campus.

Students toured thebuilding, to get acquaintedwith the layout of the newbuilding.

Students have helped toraise funds for PrincetonPals, making necklaceswith Shrinky Dinks andtote bags from T-shirts.

Donations from themunicipalities will helpthe fledgling club, Thiel-meyer said. Sharonvilleand Springdale city coun-cils have agreed to con-tribute, and she hopes tohear from the other fourcouncils soon.

Bike and pedestriantrail planning is shining aspotlight on the Village ofEvendale as the recipientof the Frank F. Ferris IIPlanning Award.

The Evendale Bike andPedestrian Plan won theaward in the Develop-ment of a Plan category.The Frank F. Ferris IIPlanning Award was cre-ated by the HamiltonCounty Regional PlanningCommission in 1995 torecognize and honor the

lifelong dedication ofFrank F. Ferris II to muni-cipal, county and regionalplanning activities. It isawarded annually to a lo-cal planning commissionor planning committeewhose efforts have con-tributed to the elevationof planning principles,greater awareness of thevalue of planning, and im-proved quality of life.

Michele Gottschlich isa past Village of Evendalerecreation commissionmember and president.During her term on thecommission, work on the

bike/pedestrian plan wasinitiated. Thanks to sup-port of the EvendaleCouncil, the plan was de-veloped over a five-yearperiod, she said. URS en-gineering assisted in thethree-phased plan devel-opment process.

“We, as part of the rec-reation committee, wereconstantly thinking proc-ess improvement,” shesaid. “We examined thevillage master plan andhow the recreation con-cept needs to tie in.”

Early in the planningprocess, the committee

focused on the develop-ment of goals and objec-tives which required get-ting feedback from thepublic and other villagestakeholders, Gottschlichsaid. Results overwhelm-ingly demonstrated a highinterest in walking andbiking trails. These re-sults prompted the recre-ation committee to con-sider how to enhance thevillage’s recreation expe-rience through activemovement, she said.

One area where resi-dents strongly supportedseeing trail development

was along the Mill Creek.Working with the MillCreek Watershed Council,Gottschlich said that it’seasy to envision some-thing in Evendale that’ssimilar to the Little MiamiBike Trail - maybe a littlerestaurant at the trailhead, some shops and akayak launch pad.

The trail along MillCreek, as included in theplan, is one of the morecostly features in theplan. It’s about 3.5 mileswith each mile costingabout $1 million to devel-op, Gottschlich said. Themost expensive part isbridges that might need tobe built. There are manygrants and funding oppor-tunities available, shesaid.

Thanks to the planningprocess, the first effortalong the Mill Creek is al-ready under way.

Evendale Council vot-ed to apply for a matchinggrant from the Clean OhioFunds Green Space Con-servation Program of-fered through the NaturalResources AssistanceCouncil.

The grant is for im-provements for a piece ofproperty along the MillCreek just north of thebridge on CunninghamDrive. A total of $300,000would be available for theproject, should the appli-cation be successful.Since it’s a matchinggrant the village is re-

sponsible for about$75,000 which could beachieved through in-kindwork by the village main-tenance department. TheMill Creek WatershedCouncil is assisting thevillage with the grant ap-plication.

There are other lesscostly projects that arepart of the plan which arealso under way. The Even-dale Recreation Commis-sion is examining oppor-tunities to improve sig-nage and markings alongvarious streets, roads andpark land to connect to thevillage complex and thecity of Blue Ash’s SummitPark. A Safe Routes toSchool application is un-der development to facili-tate safe bike and pedes-trian travel around a two-mile radius of EvendaleElementary School.

Early in the planningprocess, Evendale co-founded the nine commu-nity Connecting ActiveCommunities Coalition.Connectivity to the sur-rounding communities isan important part of de-veloping active recrea-tion and trails, Gott-schlich said.

A few of the other sur-rounding communities,including Reading andSharonville, are workingon plans. Blue Ash servesas a benchmark for oth-ers, she said.

“They are light yearsahead of us. They are awonderful collaborator.We are always trying toconnect our trails to someof Blue Ash’s trails to getkids safety to SummitPark up along Glendale-Milford. It’s challenging,but there are solutions,”Gottschlich said.

In an e-mail Dave El-mer, administrative assis-tant to the mayor, said thatthe village is delighted tohave received this awardand is thankful to all whohelped create it.

“Evendale continues tostudy plan implementa-tion and funding optionswith no specific projectstart date yet estab-lished,” he wrote.

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.

A publication of

It is not true that the an-swer to Gov. Kasich’s budgetcuts is for Sycamore to raiseproperty taxes.

The solution is for Syca-more to finally have to trimspending “on the adults.” Pre-suming more taxpayer gener-osity, Sycamore is still choos-ing deficit spending in theirfive-year forecast. Since atleast 2012, numbers show“2019” net $6,813,600 in thered – despite years of flatenrollment. Deficit spendingof taxpayer money “for thechildren” is immoral and un-conscionable.

Don’t be fooled by union-backed board propaganda thatfunding is directly proportion-al to student results. It isproven that the amount ofmoney invested in publicschools in no way correlateswith academic success.

Amountsspent per stu-dent haveincreased fordecades yetperformanceof US studentsoverall hassteadily de-clined com-pared to othernations.

The highestgovernor salary of 2014 was$187,256 and that Pennsylva-nia had refused his last salaryincrease. The lowest governorsalary was Maine at $70,000with average salary of stategovernor at $124,398. It’s in-credulous that Sycamore caneven hint at asking for moretaxpayer money when their2014 average (of 27-plus) ad-ministrative salaries is at$97,640 each, but in reality is

averaging at $107,404 peradministrator with the “10percent taxpayer pick-up” – ahidden part of their salary, notreported as such.

Sycamore’s superintendentmakes $164,500 (plus 10 per-cent “pick-up”) for total sala-ry of $180,950. Ohio treasur-er’s salary is $109,565 butSycamore treasurer salary is$133,000, plus 10 percent tax-payer “pick-up” of a retire-ment contribution that (all 27)administrators are to pay into– a total salary therefore of$146,300.

Sycamore’s commitment tolive within self-defined pa-rameters is disingenuous atbest after decades of bloatedbudgets through over-spend-ing on the adults. Disparity?Beware taxpayers – our ‘rep-resentative’ board is out toconvince you that they de-

serve and actually need moreto spend “for the children.”

Sycamore is handed“cream-of-the-crop” studentsfrom our community of excep-tional families, yet takes allthe credit, thereby justifyingunnecessarily higher spend-ing on adult priorities. SeeODE 2014 Cupp Report fig-ures: $70,363 average teachersalary at Sycamore (180 con-tracted work days), vs theirOhio peers at $68,510, vs state-wide at $57,636. Median in-come of Sycamore taxpayer is$54,966 (average 260 workdays). Sycamore’s per pupilexpenditure (PPE) is $14,290vs similar/peer districts aver-age $12,440, vs the state aver-age $10,913, and charter orprivate schools under only 1/3to 1/2 of Sycamore PPE.

Board Member John Mer-curio omits the fact that Syca-

more could shave a mere“$1,745” in PPE out of budgetin order to accomplish whatour governor is proposingwith his cuts for all 613 Ohiodistricts.

Economist Milton Fried-man said: “In the long rungovernment will spend what-ever the tax system will raise,plus as much more of it as itcan get away with.”

Accountability must hap-pen through school choicelegislation which the publiceducation system at-largelobby vigorously against.School choice would bringcompetition, market-drivensalaries, and improved out-comes - all priorities of fam-ilies, taxpayers, and the chil-dren.

SYCAMORE TAXPAYER ALERT

ColleenGreissingerCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

The Indian Hill Board ofEducation is on a path tokeep at least 60 percent ofthe illegal inside millage taxit has collected since 2009.When the Ohio SupremeCourt unanimously declared

the tax illegallast Decem-ber, the Com-mittee forResponsibleSchool Spend-ing appealedto the boardto immedi-ately refundthe entire$6,007,536collected...toall partiesinvolved-

...plus interest and legalexpenses. ($5,288,071 of thistotal is due to private andcorporate taxpayers.)

The board, however, ap-pears to believe that, be-cause it has physical pos-session of the taxes collect-ed, it also has the right todecide who will get what andwhen, and how much taxpay-er money the board will keepfor itself.

The board’s first responsewas to hire new legal coun-sel from Cleveland at $375-plus per hour, after alreadyspending more than $208,000since 2010 on efforts to justi-fy the illegal inside millagetax.

In January, the boardstated that taxpayers wereentitled to refunds totaling$4,860,992. In March, theboard reduced its proposedrefund to $3,300.000. InApril, the Board reduced itfurther to the present$2,300,000. In May...? Theboard has zero need for thismoney. (There’s alreadyAstroturf everywhere!)

Enrollment in the IndianHill school system has beendeclining for a decade. Cur-rently there are fewer than1,900 students. On March 31,the board had a surplus of$35,772,464. That’s nearly$19,000 per student. Theoard owes the Ohio Depart-

ment of Education a $664,450refund for formula-basedsubsidies from the state. A$55,015 refund is due publicutilities located in the dis-trict. Interest on the refundsdue taxpayers is accumulat-ing at $14,500-plus permonth. In its most recentbrief, the board’s new coun-sel substituted “rebate” for“refund,” apparently in thebelief that “rebate” impliesthe board is “giving” backsome of the tax money ittook, instead of refunding allof it.

The Board has petitionedthe Hamilton County Courtof Common Pleas to:

» eliminate the first three(of the eight) semi-annualreal estate tax-collections(on procedural grounds un-related to the SupremeCourt’s decision);

» approve the board’sclaim that, because some ofthe money might have beencollected if the board hadn’tchosen the inside millageploy in 2009, the Board isentitled to deduct thatamount from its “rebate;”

» reduce the $5,288,071refund due private and cor-porate taxpayers to a maxi-mum of $2,300,000, which isto be credited against some-thing the board’s new at-torneys vaguely describe as“damages;”

» permit the board todelay refunds until the 2016real estate tax is due (nomention of interest pay-ments);

» allow the board to pro-ceed on its own terms with-out escrow or third partysupervision;

» approve these claimsby May 22.

The time has come for theboard to end this charade,fire its sly attorneys, agreeto full restitution of all taxmonies illegally seized, andbegin rebuilding communitytrust in its commitment tojustice.

Indian Hill Board ofEducation’s incredibleshrinking ‘rebate’

FredSanbornCOMMUNITYPRESS GUESTCOLUMNIST

April 29 questionWas Reds manager Bryan

Price right about what he saidabout media coverage hurtinghis team? What is the media’srole in covering local sportsfranchises?

“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 re-leased the way it was, but thereality is that it was. Instead ofresponding to what he wishedhadn’t happened he shouldhave been mature enough toaddress what happened in anadult manner.

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

“The media’s job is to re-port, not make sure the team,manager or a specific player is

happy. 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 an-swering that age old most dan-gerous question: Do thesepants make my butt look fat?Therefore no, Price was wrongblaming the media coveragefor hurting his team, his team’sperformance is hurting histeam. What part of this is sohard to understand?”

“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. Lou-is Cardinals.’ That led to quitean altercation a few years ago.Of course that was when theReds made the playoffs underDusty Baker three times, yethe was fired. Manager Priceand GM Walt Jocketty will begone by year end. Go Figure!!!

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 MattCarey – for nearly 19 miles.

Then Carey lost steam, andGloyeske 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 bit hereand there and started countingthe miles down,” Bea said.

Hunziker, 45, coached forTri-State Running Club this

year 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 toovertaking the lead.

“I never saw Adam after thefirst 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 that

before, 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.

The 17th Flying Pig Marathon female winners Alison Delgado, AmyRobillard and Kerry Lee pose with marathon executive director IrisSimpson-Bush, Sunday, May 3.

Fair or unfair, there is a stig-ma surrounding players whoplay in the outfield from anearly age.

They are viewed as athleteswho aren’t agile enough tomake plays in the infield orwere stuck there by a coachwho didn’t know where to putthem in the field. The Mehrlefamily isn’t buying into eitherstereotype.

Sarah, the latest in the line ofMehrle outfielders, is a fresh-man at Ursuline Academy. Shefollows brother, Noah, an out-fielder for St. Xavier, and oldersister, Hannah, who patrols theoutfield grass at WashingtonUniversity in St. Louis.

“All three of us actuallystarted in the infield when wewere younger and then transi-tioned into the outfield, whichis the total opposite of how itnormally goes,” Sarah said. “Inever intended to stay in thatposition, but I started to like it.”

One reason for Sarah’s infat-uation with the position is aright-handed batter’s tendency

to pull the ball. It provides herwith many opportunities to useher speed and chase down ballsin the gaps.

Her acumen with the gloveand bat has made her starterfor the Lions. Earlier this sea-son, she led the team in hittingwith a .526 batting average. Shehas since cooled to a .346 aver-

age, good for second on theteam.

“Playing as a freshman onvarsity is pretty fun,” Sarahsaid. “I didn’t think I’d be doingwhat I’m doing. I’ve always justtried to live up to my sister andbrother.”

Noah is carving out a niceseason for the Bombers. He iscurrently second on the teambatting .333 with 16 hits in 48 at-

bats. Hannah finished her sopho-

more season among the team’sleaders in 11 offensive catego-ries including batting average,slugging percentage, on-basepercentage, runs scored, hitsand runs batted in.

She was a four-time, first-team all-Girls Greater CatholicLeague selection and two-timeteam captain.

But, before she can even ap-proach the career her sisterhas had, Sarah said she needs tofocus on the mental aspect ofthe game and not compoundmistakes. She said Noah helpsher in the side yard at theirhouse during the summer.

They work on improvingfundamentals such as takingbetter routes to the ball.

Don’t expect any of the threeto turn back and move to the in-field. Being away from its bus-tle doesn’t seem to bother anyof them one bit.

“We all seem to end up outthere,” Noah said. “We’re fast,able to track down balls and areknown for playing in the out-field. We were born to playthere.”

SYCAMORE TWP. — TomKennedy’s four sons willbe on hand May 9 to watchas the Moeller HighSchool lacrosse team paystribute to their father – thefather of Crusader la-crosse – in “Play for TKDay” May 9.

Kennedy, who died inJanuary, will be the focalpoint as the boys take onColumbus DeSales at theGerry Faust Athletic Com-plex.

He served as theschool’s head coach twiceafter starting the pro-gram. His older sons camehome one day and an-nounced to their motherFather Tedesco had founda lacrosse coach. With aleap of faith, Kennedy be-gan the Crusaders’ pro-gram in 1987-88.

With an overall recordof 139-57 at Moeller, hecoached nationally-ranked squads in 1992 and1993 and was elected to theOhio Lacrosse Hall ofFame in 2001. His foursons (Tom Jr. ’88, Matt ’90,Jim ’93 and Pat ’97) allplayed for Moeller andmoved on to Division I la-crosse.

“We had a target on ourbacks all year long afterwinning the 1992 Ohio

championship,” Jim Ken-nedy recalled. “My dadsought me out in the mid-dle of the field and we em-braced and gave each oth-er a big hug. My dad keptsaying. ‘We did it!’ ”

Since arriving at Moell-er last year, current headcoach Sean McGinnis hasresearched the school’shistory and comparesKennedy to the gridironlegend, Faust.

“That’s what Tom Ken-nedy means to the la-crosse program,” he said.“He started the programat Moeller and started a lotof lacrosse locally. He’scoached a lot of All-Amer-icans and was a two-time,

back-to-back state cham-pion. We owe a lot to hislegacy. We put on the backof our shirts this year,‘Protect the Legacy.’ ”

Kennedy started withone team and several play-ers who had never pickedup a stick. In his fifth sea-son, Moeller was a statechampion. Now, the pro-gram has a varsity and twoJV teams totaling 65 play-ers.

“I remember not know-ing what to expect sincejust about everyone on ourteam had never played be-fore,” oldest son Tom Ken-nedy Jr. said. “I remembermy Dad did not have thisworry.”

Added youngest son,Pat, “The Moeller pro-gram always focused onfundamentals, toughnessand discipline. Thosetraits were stressed by ourdad from the first practiceall the way through his lastday coaching in 2008.”

As with all Moellersports, they shy awayfrom no one. They have al-ready faced the state’s No.1 team in St. Xavier andthe No. 5 team in Wor-thington Kilbourne. Earlyon, they took on LouisvilleTrinity and Louisville St.Xavier. They also went toIndiana to tangle with topprograms in Carmel andCulver Academy.

After starting withwins against Trinity andSeven Hills, Moeller lostfive straight before de-feating Kiski Prep ofPennsylvania and Divi-sion II power Mariemont.

“This is like a transitionyear,” McGinnis said.

The defense has heldMoeller in many gamesled by seniors Jack Toomband Grant Clark and goal-ie Mitch Nietupski. Sen-iors Nick Cinquina and Er-ic Reynolds and sopho-more Cory Lockwoodhave led the scoring.

Shirts reading “Play forTK” will be available May9. The game with DeSalesbegins at 3 p.m..

Tom Kennedy, surrounded by lacrosse players, family andfriends, died in January. The Moeller lacrosse team will honorhim May 9.

Leading Sycamore tolast season’s Division Iteam state champion-ship certainly helpedease some of the stingfelt by Deepak Indra-kanti from not qualify-ing for the individualstate tournament – some,but not all.

The Aviators’ senioradmits that falling shortindividually last seasonis fueling a fire this sea-son.

“Last year was a littlestrange,” Indrakanti, 17,said. “It definitely moti-vates me a ton. It was alittle disappointing. I lostto a kid I’d beaten earlierin the season. He’s atough player, but it wasvery sad for me to notmake it.

“I knew I could com-pete with anybody (atthe state tournament). Ihad beaten the kid whowon it earlier in the sea-son. I was excited tocheer on my teammates,and I knew in the back ofmy mind that I had an-other year to do somedamage. We were luckyenough to win the teamtournament, and I wasreally happy with that.”

Indrakanti’s motiva-tion is serving him well.Going into Monday’sGreater Miami Confer-ence match against Ma-son (after deadline), hewas 9-3 overall after roll-ing to the Flight “A” firstsingles championship oflast week’s Greater Cin-cinnati Tennis CoachesAssociation Classic tour-nament. He will likelyearn the No. 1 seed whencoaches convene on Sun-day at St. Xavier for theannual pre-sectionaltournament meeting.

His only losses, ac-cording to Sycamorecoach Mike Teets, wereto defending state cham-pion Nathan Griffin in athird-set tiebreaker, to

highly regarded Massil-lon Jackson junior JoeyThomas (the day afterthe grueling Griffinmatch) and to CincinnatiCountry Day senior Ash-er Hirsch, the two-timedefending Division IIstate champion.

Indrakanti was deal-ing with soreness in hiselbow during his matchwith Thomas, Teets said.The condition is onethey’ve been managingwith ice with frequentrest.

“We give him days offwhen we can,” saidTeets, whose team isranked No. 1 in both theEnquirer Division Icoaches’ poll and theOhio Tennis Coaches As-sociation Division Istatewide poll.

“It’s OK now,” Indra-kanti said. “We just needto monitor it. I went to In-dia earlier this year, andwhen I came back, Iplayed a ton. It was aweek before the season,and I played a lot of prac-tices and matches.Coach Teets is reallynice and helpful. Hemakes sure we monitorit very well.”

Indrakanti startedplaying tennis when hewas 7 with his father,Chakravarthy, on courtsin a park across thestreet from their house.As a Sycamore sopho-more, he teamed up withsenior Dylan Stern toreach the state finals ofthe Division I doublescompetition.

He plans to continuehis career at WilliamsCollege, which is locatedin Williamstown, Mass.,and captured the 2013NCAA Division IIIchampionship.

“It’s a good academicschool,” said Indrakanti,who plans to major inbiochemistry. “I waslooking to find a balancebetween tennis and aca-demics.”

First, though, there’sthat quest to join CliffRiester in 1984 and EricPittman in 1998 as statesingles champions fromSycamore.

“I’m pretty excitedabout the next fewweeks,” he said.

Mobile Mammographyvisits neighborhoods in May

The sky's the limit.Boy Scout Troop 674 of

Montgomery has tightlyembraced this concept.

After nearly two yearsof planning by AssistantScoutmaster MatthewLangender, Pete Elling-son, and by Scouts ChrisSeger and Amogg Damod-har, 21 Scouts and nineadults traveled across thecountry on July 12 to em-bark on a high-adventurechallenge in Alaska.

The Alaskan terrainwas an alluring paradise,in a land sprawling withmountains and surround-ed by oceans, the Scoutsspent the night in Juneauand eventually made theirway to Haines, setting upbase camp. Here, theScouts split into groups of18 and 12. The smallergroup proceeded to climbMount Clifford, in Skag-way, Alaska, while thelarge one went sea kayak-

ing. The group of 18 pad-dled through the pristinewaters of the Gulf of Alas-ka.

The Alaskan wildlife,lush with green and na-ture, is a world all by it-self. According to Assis-tant Scout Master and oneof the trip coordinators,Pete Ellingson, the wild-life was beautiful.

“There were bald ea-gles all over the place,” El-lingson said. “In fact,Haines is known as thebald eagle capital of theworld. We saw harborseals and porpoises whenwe were sea kayaking.”

They rested for a day,and then immediately re-sumed back to their ad-venture. They hiked milesin a terrain consisting ofnothing but exuberantplant and wildlife, theScouts hiked miles beforethey reached the base ofthe mountain. Crossing

creeks bare foot due to thedepth of the water, andhiking up and downthrough the steep terrain,they reached the base ofthe mountain. Rejoicingwith the other half of theirexpedition for a brief mo-ment, the two groups part-ed ways. While the groupof 18, would begin ascend

to the summit, the groupof 12 would canoe.

This arduous task ofclimbing a mountain isdifficult already as it is.However, the journey getseven more cumbersomewhen the weather condi-tions don’t cooperate. Ac-cording to Ellingson, thejourney up the Mount Clif-

ford was quite an endeav-or.

“Our group faced oneof the most challengingweather conditions,” El-lingson said. “It was threein the morning, cold, andwindy, and the last thingyou want to do is get upand climb a mountain. Thetents were flapping in thestorm all day long.”

According to AssistantScoutmaster Brian Blunt,without the proper physi-cal preparations, the tripto Alaska would have beenimpossible.

“You definitely had tobe physically fit,” Bluntsaid. “It was difficult attimes. A lot of the guysreally did an outstanding.And climbing stairs everyweek at Nippert Stadiumwas the best exercise to dobecause the climbing onthe mountain was thetoughest part.”

Immediately, leavingthe mountains in Skag-way, both groups joinedtogether in British Colum-bia to white water raft on

the Blanchard River. According to Ellingson,

bears roamed the Alaskanrivers.

“We saw a lot of bearswhile whitewater raft-ing,” Ellingson said. SomeScouts saw a black bearstanding on a ledge. Andothers saw a mother griz-zly and its two cubs.”

The journey to Alaskahas definitely created amore reputable name forthe troop in the communi-ty and has also enhancedScout leadership, accord-ing to Scoutmaster DavidHartkiemer.

“A lot of local troopswould go shorter distanc-es, and this is an unusualtrip in that regard,” Hart-kiemer said. “So, it takes alot of planning and a lot ofdiscipline on the part ofthe scouts, and hopefullyit will be viewed by thecommunity in that regard;their discipline of learn-ing medical emergencyprocedures, physical fit-
