COLLECTION TIME
CHEVIOT – Four candidatesare vying for three open at-largeseats on Cheviot City Council.
City voters will decide be-tween incumbent at-large coun-cil members Amy Luken-Rich-ter, Leslie Roden and KathleenZech, who are all Republicans,and political newcomer PatrickTiettmeyer, a Democrat, whenthey visit the polls Nov. 3.
Luken-Richter, 53, is a socialworker who has served as an at-large councilwoman for the pastfour years.
“I have tried to serve the citywell, I have learned a lot in thepast four years and feel that ex-perience will allow me to be abetter council member,” shesaid.
“I want to work with the restof council on the Vision 2020plan and Fiscal SustainabilityTask Force that current CityCouncil President DeborahSlaughter created.”
She said she’ll work to main-tain the services the city pro-vides and would also like to starta curbside recycling programfor residents.
While renewals of existinglevies will be on the ballot incoming years, Luken-Richtersaid she doesn’t plan on support-ing any additional taxes on resi-dents in the next four years. Tohelp decrease city expenses, shesaid she’ll continue to supportshared service and mutual aidagreements the city has withneighboring municipalities.
“Our police and fire chiefshave a good relationship withour neighboring communities,”she said. “The chiefs have done agreat job purchasing equipmentand supplies in bulk with otherdepartments, saving money.”
“I believe in the warm home-town feeling there is in Cheviot,”Luken-Richter said. “I want
Cheviot to remain a small cityand I am willing to work hard forthe city of Cheviot.”
Roden, 52, is a clinical labora-tory scientist who was appoint-ed to council in November 2014.
She said the biggest issuesshe wants to address in the cityinclude the heroin problem,which all communities are fac-ing; being relevant in a high-techworld without losing Cheviot’ssmall town charm; marketingthe city as a great place to liveand becoming a proactive ratherthan reactive city.
She would continue to bringfresh and viable ideas to council,and said she will remain a mem-ber of the city’s Vision 2020 taskforce, which exists to make thecity an even better place to live.
“I will find out what our resi-dents think is important, com-bine that with what the leader-ship has identified as opportuni-ties and then ultimately work to-gether to get the job done,”Roden said.
She has vast and varied expe-rience in communication andleading people, having super-vised a chemistry departmentwhere she worked with physi-

GREEN TWP. – Militaryveterans and active servicemembers file into the gymnasi-um, the marching band is play-ing patriotic music and thou-sands of students are on theirfeet, clapping and holding upsigns of appreciation.
That’s the scene as the Vet-erans Day program at OakHills High School gets under-way.
Oak Hills teachers and stu-dents are once again invitingarea veterans and active mili-tary personnel to receive therecognition they deserve. Theschool’s annual Veterans Dayceremony is 8 a.m. Friday, Nov.6, in the school gym.
Veterans and active ser-vicemen and women in atten-dance will be honored duringan all-school assembly andthen be treated to lunch.
“We started this program assimply a way of saying ‘Thankyou’ to our area veterans,” OakHills history teacher ShannonMurray, who serves on theevent’s organizing committee,said.
“We also do it as a way forstudents to connect with theidea of Veterans Day, ratherthan it just being a day off ofschool.”
Oak Hills English teacherDonnie Becker, a retired U.S.Air Force master sergeant who
coordinates the program withthe committee of staff mem-bers, said he likes to fill thegym with as many veterans aspossible. More than 200 veter-ans attended last year’s cere-mony.
“Freedom isn’t free,” hesaid. “My hope is our studentscome to understand someone isalways keeping watch, and, forthe rest of their lives, they re-member that and thank veter-ans every day for their service.They deserve our thanks everyday.”
The assembly features amultimedia presentation, cre-ated by students in the highschool’s audio visual classes, inwhich photographs of the vet-erans are displayed, and Mur-ray said in addition to themarching band, choral stu-dents and members of the OakHills Drumline will also per-
form.“We continue to increase the
amount of student involve-ment,” he said. “We have a fan-tastic student body and everyyear I’m amazed at how closeto 3,000 kids come together anddo the right thing by these vet-erans.”
Following the ceremony,Murray said veterans who areinterested are welcome to visitclassrooms and participate inpanel discussions with stu-dents about their service.
“In a sense, this is a way forour students to meet living his-tory,” he said. “I think they getan appreciation for the historyand culture of the West Side.They walk away with an im-pression and understanding ofwhat the generation of peoplewho came before them have to

GREEN TWP. – FiscalOfficer Thomas Straus isrunning for re-electionand is being challengedfor his seat by JeffrySmith.
Township voters willdecide whether to keepStraus or elect a new fis-
cal officerwhen theyvisit thepolls Nov.3.
Smith,an accoun-tant, ismaking hisfirst bid
for the fiscal officer posi-tion. He’s run twice fortownship trustee, losingboth times.
In an email response toa Community Press elec-tions questionnaire, hesaid the three biggest is-sues that need to be ad-dressed in the communityare over spending, overtaxation and stagnantproperty values, particu-larly in the eastern por-
tion ofGreenTownship.
To ad-dress thoseissues, hesaid hewouldn’tbe a “silentenabler to
those who continue tovote for irresponsiblespending, who make deci-sions based on politicalfavoritism and who areelected not because ofprinciple, but because ofparty.”
“I will shine a light onsuch practices becauseeach one of them affectsthe pocketbooks of thecitizenry,” Smith said.
For instance, he said hebelieves township resi-dents are subject to high-er electric rates becausethe board of trustees ig-nored a memorandum ofunderstanding they hadwith an electric aggrega-tion supplier.
“Despite having agreat deal more residentsthan other townships,Green Township got nobetter electric rates,” hesaid. “I wouldn’t be silentand let such things pass.”
His qualifications as aself-employed accoun-tant and not a governmentemployee make him thebest candidate for the po-sition, he said.
“I’ve proven my will-ingness to challenge thepolitical class in the inter-est of the citizens ofGreen Township, turningup millions of dollarswasted because of poorfiscal management andself-serving hiring prac-tices,” Smith said. “I fol-low widely-shared princi-ples, not the school of‘Don’t rock the boat be-cause my fellow politi-cians will be exposed.’”
Straus, an attorney,has been the township’sfiscal officer for 16 years.Prior to serving as fiscal
officer, he was a memberof the Green TownshipLand Use Planning Com-mittee for four years –from 1996 to 2000.
In an email response tothe same elections ques-tionnaire, he said thethree main issues in thetownship are the securityof residents, dealing withstate funding cuts to thetownship’s budget andmanaging economic de-velopment.
Addressing those is-sues, Straus said he’dwork to provide strongpolice and fire presenceat the best possible ratefor taxpayers, ensure fis-cal conservatism by thetownship and encouragequality development pro-jects.
“(I am running) tooversee and manage thefinances of Green Town-ship and to properly in-vest the township’s in-vestments,” he said.
He has an MBA in fi-
nance and his 16 years asfiscal officer make himthe best person for theseat, he said.
As fiscal officer,Straus said he managesthe township’s $45 millionbudget.

“I have also taught sci-ence and math at the mid-dle school level, whichtaught me how to changemy style of teaching to bemore individualistic, ad-justing to each student’spathway of learning,” shesaid.
“I am very high energy,very creative and notafraid to go against thegrain when I have to. Icare about this communi-ty. I have only been heresince 2010, but I love thiscity and the residentswithin. I will be truly hon-ored to have the opportu-nity to continue to serve onCheviot City Council.”
Tiettmeyer, 32, is an ac-count executive. This ishis first time seeking polit-ical office.
He said the issues re-quiring attention in thecity are housing vacanciesand petty crime associat-ed with drug abuse.
“We are seeing toomany houses lost and govacant, which is reallydamaging the appeal ofthe Cheviot neighbor-hoods,” he said, noting thecity needs to work at iden-tifying the root problem.“Ultimately, I would like tosee these residents stay-ing in their homes, and inCheviot, but obviouslythere is more than just theforeclosures and vacan-cies.”
He said he would like toestablish a care initiativefrom the community forwhen a home goes vacant.
“The city already tendsto the mowing, but there isso much more that couldbe done,” Tiettmeyer said.“I feel that a care initiativecan take place for thosewho cannot physicallycare for their homes,whether it is a fresh coat ofpaint, weeding, edging,etc. Helping some of thesehomeowners can hopeful-ly rally the communityaround their neighbor-hoods and bring a sense ofpride back to Cheviot resi-dents.”
There is no easy an-swer for addressing thepetty theft and drug abuseissues, but he said a raised
awareness around the citywould help.
His wife was born andraised in Cheviot, andTiettmeyer said they planto raise a family in the city.
“There are so manygreat qualities aboutCheviot and they have fall-en by the wayside,” hesaid. “I believe that rally-ing the community and en-gaging residents can raisea lot of awareness on manyissues, and we can recon-struct the foundation uponwhich Cheviot was built.”
Zech, 74, is a retiredmarketing specialist.She’s in her 22nd yearserving as an at-largecouncilwoman.
She said the issues shewants to work to addressinclude keeping Cheviot afull-service city, promot-ing more owner-occupiedhomes and continuing toenhance the business dis-trict to attract more cus-tomers and new business-es.
“Increasing the num-ber of owner-occupiedhomes and a revitalizedbusiness district wouldbroaden our tax base andhelp ensure we remain afull-service city,” she said.

Past president and member of Oak Hills Athletic Boosters
PAID FOR BY THE COMMITTEE TO RE-ELECT JAN HUNTER TO OAK HILLS SCHOOL BOARD, TREASURER, SCOTT HUNTER.
Three candidates arerunning for two open seatson the Oak Hills LocalSchool District’s Board ofEducation.
Incumbent schoolboard member JaniceHunter seeks re-electionand is in the running withdistrict residents PaulCooper and Linus Ryland.School board memberSteve Schinkal is not run-ning for re-election.
Voters in Delhi Town-ship and Green Townshipwill decide the outcome ofthe school board race Nov.3.
Cooper, 46, is a U.S. Na-vy veteran who served asa Hamilton County Sher-iff’s deputy and owns a lo-cal landscaping company.He’s volunteered andcoached in the district forseveral years, and this ishis first bid for elected of-fice.
In an email response toa Community Press elec-tions questionnaire, hesaid the three biggest is-sues facing the district areeducational standards, fi-nances and building com-munity trust.
To address education
standardsin the dis-trict, hesaid he’llwork tosustaineducation-al excel-lence andsupport the
teachers in Oak Hillsschools.
“I want all of our OakHills graduates to becomesuccessful,” he said.“Whether they enter theworkforce, military di-rectly after high school orcollege, I want teachers to
have thetools nec-essary topreparethem fortheir fu-ture.”
The newinstruc-tional man-
dates schools have had toimplement come withmore regulations and pa-perwork for teachers, hesaid.
“I want us as a board tobe sensitive and have pro-cedures in place to be sup-portive of them as they do
their workin movingall of ourstudents toacademicsuccess,”Coopersaid. “Iwant teach-ers to feel
secure in their place ofemployment and know
that we support them.”In handling district fi-
nances, he said he’d con-tinue to be fiscally respon-sible and transparentabout district operations.
“With all of the new in-structional mandates andfunding being cut, we needto make wise decisions forusing our funding in themost effective manner,”
he said.To strengthen commu-
nity trust, he said he’dbuild positive school andcommunity relations,reaching out to all parents,staff and taxpayers and in-volving them in dialogueabout district decisions.
thing I can to educate theparents and public to buildtrust and support againwithin the community,”Cooper said.
As a parent of five chil-dren, he said safe schoolsand student safety mustremain a priority.
“There have been manynew improvements to
keep our schools safe, butthese need to be followedwith continued evaluationand upgrades as appropri-ate,” he said. “With my ex-tensive law enforcementbackground and vast lawenforcement connections,I will work to put our stu-dents in the safest learn-ing environment possi-ble.”
Cooper has volun-teered to maintain flowerbeds and landscaping atJ.F. Dulles Elementary
School for several yearsand coached basketball,baseball and football formore than 20 years. He’s aboard member of the OakHills Little Highlandersorganization and a PTAand Oak Hills Boostersmember.
“My goal for the up-coming years is to makesure that every voice, in-cluding teachers, is heardand that every student isaccounted for with regardto their education,” he
said.Hunter, 63, is a regis-
tered nurse and hasserved on the school boardsince 2001.
In an email response tothe elections question-naire, she said the threebiggest issues facing theOak Hills district are thefunding of public educ-tion, including charterschools, Peterson scholar-ships and school levies; ac-ademic standards andtesting; and professionaldevelopment for all staff.
She said she’s been in-volved in Oak Hillsschools and the communi-ty for 32 years and fundingissues have always been achallenge, and will con-tinue to be in the future.
To address school fund-ing issues, she said the dis-trict has joined a coalitionwith other local school dis-tricts to influence the statelegislative process andspeak for public educationin Ohio.
“I have written andtalked individually withstate legislators, and theboard has approved reso-lutions which all advocatefor public education, spe-cifically Oak Hillsschools,” Hunter said. “Inthe past 32 years, I have al-ways publicly supportedand actively worked forevery levy campaign forOak Hills schools, which,of course, is essential forlocal funding of ourschools.”
When it comes to aca-demic standards and test-ing, she said the boardunanimously approved aresolution affirming andsupporting the CommonCore standards, whichhave also been adopted bythe state.
“What remains in ques-tion is the assessmentprocess which will be used
to evaluate those stan-dards,” she said. “Thestate of Ohio spent mil-lions of dollars for the ini-tial set of assessments,which now has beenscrapped by the state. Soall school districts nowawait information on thenew assessment process.”
To provide professionaldevelopment for staff,Hunter said the schoolboard approved, and willbe evaluating, profession-al learning for all staff –classified staff as well ascertified staff.
“As our mission states,professional learning inOak Hills creates an ex-ceptional educational ex-perience for every stu-dent, every day,” she said.
She said she has theability to think objectivelyand analytically and prob-lem-solve effectively,qualities she said are es-sential in considering allperspectives in any issue.
“I have lived in the dis-trict for the past 32 years,and my husband and twodaughters are all proudOak Hills alumni,” Huntersaid.
“I have belonged andheld leadership positionsin many school groups, in-cluding PTA and athleticboosters, and served onnumerous district com-mittees, including extra-curricular and middleschool transition commit-tees and the strategicplanning team. I believethat these connectionsgive me an extensive andvaried experience andknowledge of the OakHills school community.”
Ryland, 49, is a finan-cial manager. He’s beenactive in the district forseveral years, but this ishis first bid for the schoolboard.
In an email response to
the elections question-naire, he said the threebiggest issues in Oak Hillsare too much testing due tochanges in state stan-dards; too much focus onmeeting the minimumstandards and not pushingstudents further; and theheat in several schoolbuildings in August andSeptember.
To address testing is-sues, he said he’d work tohave the board continueclosely monitoring test-ing.
“The testing has beendramatically reduced thisyear already,” Rylandsaid. “The challenge willbe figuring out how to findways to improve testscores and student learn-ing without adding morepractice tests.”
As for pushing studentsfurther, he said the districthas little resource to ex-pand learning for studentswho have met the mini-mum standards.
He said he wants to findways to cluster studentsmore effectively.

Next,they created a poster rep-resenting the candidates.Finally, each group per-formed a live commercialwhich showed the candi-date’s background andpositions on different po-litical issues. After amorning full of collabora-tion, the class of 2016boarded busses and wentas a class to the final Redshome game at GreatAmerican Ballpark.

OCTOBER 28, 2015 • WESTERN HILLS PRESS • 7ANEWS
This still boggles my mind: Halloween is second onlyto Christmas as the most decorated holi-day. Not so when I was a kid. The housewasn’t decorated, and the eight girls in ourfamily were either witches or gypsies. Mybrother, Charlie, the last born, was alwaysa hobo. We used whatever we could find todress up and we left at dark, by ourselves,and came home with grocery paper bagsfull of treats.
Fast forward to Halloween 2015. Even ifparental rules are stricter, Halloween isstill so much fun! Here are last-minuterecipes for a ghoulishly good Halloween.
Homemade microwave popcornCheck out my Abouteating.com site. You won’t believe
how easy and inexpensive, not to mention healthy andamazingly tender it is. (Hint: 1/2 cup unpopped cornmakes a generous 8 cups, but there’s a secret technique!)

Homemade Halloween treats kids can help make‘Glowing’ swamp punch
Let the kids help. They love the creepycrawler ice ring.
1 cup boiling water2 packages, 4-serving size each, lime
Pour boiling water over gelatin and stiruntil dissolved. Stir in cold water. Pour intopunch bowl. Stir in soda, making mixturefizz.
Unmold ice ring by dipping bottom ofmold briefly into hot water. Float in punch.Serve cups garnished with gummy worms.
Creepy crawler ice ring1 cup gummyworms or other creepy crawler gummies
1 quart lemon-lime sports drink likeGatorade
Arrange gummy worms in bottom of5-cup ring mold; fill with Gatorade. Freezeuntil solid.
Black cat cookie pops
Again, let the kids help. Don’t worry iftheir cookies look like something other thancats. It’s about creativity and fun, not perfec-tion.
1 cup creamy peanut butter1/3 cup water2 eggs1 box chocolate cake mixPopsicle sticksSugarCandy corn, red hots
Preheat oven to 350. Beat peanutbutter with water and eggs. Add cake mixand mix. Form into 1-1/2” balls and place onsprayed cookie sheet. Push in a popsiclestick. Flatten with bottom of glass dipped insugar. Pinch two “ears” at top of cookie.Press fork into dough to form whiskers oneither side of nose. Bake 10-12 minutes.Remove from oven and immediately addcandy corn eyes and red-hot nose, pushingin gently. If they happen to fall off after theycool, glue them on with a little powderedsugar glaze or canned frosting. Makes 2-3dozen
My best caramel corn
This makes a lot so feel free to divide in half. Adding dried fruitelevates this to a new dimension.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
15-16 cups or so of popped cornAbout 3 cups salted mixed nuts2 sticks or butter2 cups brown sugar1/2 cup light corn syrup1/2 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon vanilla1/2 teaspoon baking soda2 cups dried cranberries, cherries or apricots (opt)
To avoid sticking, use vegetable spray to coat both inside oflarge bowl, cookie sheets and spoons that you will use. Put popcornand nuts in bowl. Set aside. Over medium heat in a large pan, bringto a boil everything but the soda. Boil 5 minutes. Add baking sodaand stir. Mixture will foam up. Immediately pour over popcorn mix-ture, stirring well to coat. Pour in a single layer onto sprayed cookiesheets. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to distribute coating.Let cool for coating to harden; add fruit, and store at room temper-ature in covered containers. Makes about 20 cups.
Tip from Rita’s kitchenAfter popping corn, place in colander or bowl and scoop up
popcorn gently with hands. Any unpopped corn will lie in bottom ofbowl.

Lots of words,no solutions
After reading Adam Harri-son’s guest column (Oct. 14 West-ern Hills Press), I was lookingfor his solutions, but found none.
Mr. Harrison is apparentlyrunning for Ohio’s 8th DistrictSenate seat in 2016. The jest ofhis column was to bash Mr. LouTerhar, who is also running forthe same senate seat. Maybe ifMr. Harrison had given some so-lutions, I could form an opinion.But he didn’t.
I have heard Mr. Terharspeak and read his columnwhich was in the Western HillsPress some time ago. I foundhim to be a pleasant and re-sourceful gentleman and havenothing but good things to sayabout him. Go Lou!”
Donna Bruce Cleves
Attacks on Terhar unfair I was taken aback by the mis-
information in Mr. Harrison'sletter of Oct. 14 regarding LouTerhar.
It is important to address Mr.Harrison’s untruthful assaultson Terhar. I am a fellow VFWmember with Terhar. Lou and Iboth served in Vietnam. Lou is agraduate of the United StatesNaval Academy. He is alsoearned graduate degrees fromboth Syracuse and Harvard Uni-versity.
Mr. Terhar’s list of accom-plishments are too numerous tomention in this letter, but I wouldlike to name a few:
1. Lou sponsored the renam-ing of Glenway Avenue in frontof Elder High School to the “El-der High School Vietnam Veter-ans Memorial Highway.” Eachyear the name on the sign ischanged to honor one of the 11El-der graduates who sacrificed hislife for our country in Vietnam.
2. Lou has fought successful-ly for veterans causes and I haveworked with him regarding theexpediting of veterans claims aswell as other veterans issues.Mr. Harrison mentioned in hisletter that Lou Terhar panders tovets. My response to that is forLou to “keep pandering forvets.”
3. Lou serves in the OhioHouse of Representatives as theChairman of the Financial Insti-tutions and HUD Committee aswell as a member of the Energyand Natural Resources and theArmed Services, Veterans Af-fairs and Public Safety Commit-tees. Mr. Terhar has also spon-sored House Bills 123, 235, 350and 85. HB 85, now law, providesfor a rollback of property taxesfor 100 percent disabled veter-ans. He is the former vice chairof the House Economic andWorkforce Development Com-mittee and has been instrumen-tal in providing Ohio with one ofthe lowest unemployment ratesin the country (4.2 percent Au-gust 2015). Lou works tirelesslyfor his constituents.
Mr. Harrison is a progressivewho promotes and believes in aBernie Sanders approach to theeconomy, i.e. socialism. I willgive credit to Mr. Harrison formaking clear his stance on theeconomy and other social issues.I am glad we have a clear choicein this election and will give myvote to Louis Terhar. One finalnote, I noticed on Mr. Harrison’sFacebook page that on Oct. 6 hewithdrew his candidacy for the8th Senate District seat.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Oct. 22 questionWho-dey? How far will the
Bengals go this year?
“Super Bowl 50 champs.” D.H.
“The Bengals will go far-ther than the Reds did, butthen again, how hard canthat be? They are playingwell and winning consistent-ly – Yay! Now, if they cankeep the injuries to a mini-mum we might just havesomething in this team.Since they are playing sowell and selling many seats,can we renegotiate the asi-nine deal our stupid cityleaders agreed to with Mr.Brown? It is beyond ridicu-lous for this city with itslevel of financial woes to
have to pay so much to keepa team here that givesdarned near nothing back. Iwant to have pride in thisteam and I do, but that pridegets very muddled whenthinking about how thor-oughly Brown takes the cityto the cleaners year afteryear after year.”
M.J.F.
“The Bengals are an ex-citing team with many greatplayers on offense and de-fense. Barring major in-juries (like last year) theyare playoff bound. It wouldbe great if they can get afirst round bye in the play-offs along with home fieldadvantage. But the NewEngland Patriots stand intheir way. The wish here issomeone can knock of NewEngland prior to the Bengalshaving to face them in theplayoffs. That might justpropel the Bengals to theSuper Bowl ala the 1981 and1988 seasons. Like those twoyears the Bengals are loadedwith many class act players.Go Figure!”

The annual Harvest Homefanfare gives a nice nod to ourWest Side way of living. So Iwas pleased to learn that Cov-edale residents took part ininitiating this most reverendevent; as reported by theAmerican Agriculturist Maga-zine in 1874.
I quote: “Covedale, Ohio,informs us that the harvesthome festival is not unknownin America, but that a harvesthome association has been inexistence in Covedale for tenyears or more, the annualpicnics of which have beenfound to be indispensable.”
Sadly, this West Side Storyhad been forgotten, and thename Covedale became folk-tale; a supposed Realtors’term - an alleged way of say-ing, “I do not wish to live inPrice Hill.” Those who tootedtheir Covedale horn wereaccused of trumpeting a WestSide social order. Many mock-ing called Covedale “The EastSide of The West Side.”
Feeling like social outcasts,Covedale residents sought torid themselves of the “Cov-edale Curse” by embracingthe more generic Western
Hills, St. Tere-sa and WestSide identi-ties. Others,attempting tobe politicallycorrect,called Cov-edale “Thenice part ofPrice Hill.’ Inthe processCovedale’sWest Side
roots were severed, and care-lessly tossed into the historydumpster.
However, like Rip VanWinkle, Covedale awakens torediscover its past. Disheart-ened, it learns that the city nolonger recognizes Covedale.Today, the many “Welcome toWest Price Hill” signs, in thearea that was once “officially’Covedale, are a visual remind-er of this mistaken identitytravesty; a divisive Berlin-Wall-like parody.
Now, Covedale offers thisHarvest Home history nuggetas an important piece of ourWest Side cultural memorypuzzle. Seeking to regain itsstatus as a constituent and
prominent part of Cincinnati,Covedale prays to again berecognized. Some say this iswishful thinking; that religion,politics, and history do notmix. But true leadership canmake history that absolvespast sins.
Fortunately, there is a lead-er among us who can shep-herd us through this political,and cultural minefield. I be-lieve that Pete Witte, the WestSide spokesperson, our voiceof reason, will stand on theright side of history and freeCovedale from the shackles ofignorance. That, in Kennedy-like fashion he will say, “Ichbin ein Covedalian!” Then,reminiscent of Ronald Regan,he will add, “Mayor Cranley,tear down those signs!”
I must confess. A part ofme cheers for Pete becausewe have the same faith-basededucation. I selfishly wish forfuture students of West Sidehistory to say, “Pete was anElder grad - a good St. Williamboy. He did the right thing. Heput Covedale back on themap!”
Regardless, the CovedaleHarvest Home Story is now
featured in our Happy Cov-edale Bedtime Storybook;because our children need toknow the “History RepeatsItself” life-lesson: When weforget to do our history home-work, life fails us.

WEST SIDE HISTORY 101: The Covedale Harvest Home Story
JimGraweCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST
American AgriculturistMagazine in 1874
In the early to mid 1950s,my life centered around myhome and friends on Fair-banks Avenue.
Whittier Grade School wasjust a few short blocks awayand we walked to school, of-ten alone and unattended bygrown ups. No one thoughtanything of it. Life was safe.We all trusted that nothingbad would happen and it nev-er did.
The Sims boys lived nextdoor, rascally boys who werealways getting into trouble,which back then, meant theywere having fun. Betty andJoyce Scheid lived down thestreet. Betty, just a yearyounger than I, was my bestfriend. Carol Jean Rawlings, acouple years older and everso much more sophisticated,lived across the street. Shewas someone I admired andtried to emulate.
Betty and I hung out, usu-ally somewhere between her
house andmine, just afew doorsapart, mostlyplaying out-doors. Wewere “good”girls andalways didwhat we weretold. Well,nearly al-ways. Except
for that one October day. Thewind was blowing and leaveswere swirling around us. Likethe leaves, we were restlessand wanted to do “some-thing.” We decided to take awalk and headed down Fair-banks towards Price Avenueand adventure.
Near the intersection ofFairbanks and Price was anisolated, ramshackle housethat held a big family withkids rowdier than the Simsboys. We didn’t know them,but had watched from afar
and were sure they weregypsies. The mom wore bighoop earrings and long col-orful skirts. She sometimeshad a scarf around her hair.So we knew she had to be agypsy.
As we neared The House itwas unusually quiet. No onewas home. Feeling braver andconsumed with curiosity, wecrept ever closer. First wetried to look in the livingroom window but the curtainswere pulled. Next we climbedthe back steps, daring eachother to peek in the kitchenwindow.

WESTERN HILLS - Talkingto his team about the EmpireState Building, Jason Sparkssaid they initially marveled atits height, but he correctedthem and turned their attentionfrom the clouds back down tothe earth.
“We always talk about layinga foundation,” said Sparks,who’s in his first season at West-ern Hills. “It’s about the founda-tion; when they come back in 10years and West High’s rollin’they can say ‘this is something Istarted.’ ”
The wins have been few andfar between, just two in eighttries, but the Mustangs won abig one, 22-18 over Hughes onsenior day Oct. 17.
“I love honoring the seniors,but I’m a creature of habit,”Sparks said, “so anything thatmesses with the pregame rou-tine means anxiety. Whenyou’re dealing with these 15-17year old athletes you wonderhow they’re gonna relate;they’re with their families.How’s it going to translate to thegame? I was really impressed …we were down in the fourthquarter, it’s the first time thisyear we were down in the fourthquarter, faced adversity andcame back and won. When weneeded a play (the seniors) weremaking plays.”
Juwan Tye, a senior wide re-ceiver, caught the game-win-ning 78-yard touchdown pass inthe fourth quarter. Senior run-ning back Anton Kirby put thegame away on the ground.
“I’m thinking of Yannis Dai-ley – there’s a moment where hedoesn’t say it, he just looks — itwas fourth-and-two — and allyou see in his eyes is ‘I’m mak-ing this play, guys don’t worryabout.’ Anton, Juwan, JhonasAlston, Marrico Ford, IsaiahSmith, and Mitchell Hill (all sen-iors) – those guys, when it gottough they said, ‘we got it.’ Ithasn’t happened collectivelythis year for them; it was reallyimpressive to see that collec-tive group effort.”
Attempting to turn around aprogram is never simple, it’ssomething Sparks, who came toWest High after two years ashead coach at Portsmouth insoutheast Ohio, and every othercoach knows all too well. He

WESTWOOD — As the endapproaches, the pressure of avolleyball season mounts. Sodoes the excitement.
After a 15-7 regular seasoneffort from Mother of Mercy,coach Denise Harvey said, “Ithink we’ve achieved goals thatwe set out to, so it’s been re-warding. I think the girls con-tinue to improve everyday and Ithink they’ve kind of pushedthemselves and their team-mates to get better along theway. From that perspective, it’sbeen really, really successful.”
The Bobcats have proventhey’re no pushover. All sevenof Mercy's losses have comeagainst formidable opponents,
five of those were Girls GreaterCatholic League opponents.Mercy was swept by Mount No-tre Dame, the two-time defend-ing state champions, and St. Ur-sula, split with Ursuline, andswept Seton and McAuley inconference action.
“Cincinnati is just a strongvolleyball city to begin with,”said Harvey. “But, the GGCLbased on postseason perfor-mances is one of the bestleagues for sure. I think playingnight in and night out againstthe caliber of teams in ourleague, it prepares you for anyteam. It’s invaluable, really. Attimes it can be tedious and diffi-cult, but it really is the bestpreparation for the postsea-

also wanted to send the seniorsout on a high note at home. Afterdoing so, Sparks spoke kindlyabout his seniors and howthey’ve helped a young teamlearn to play together.
“New program, new coach,we’re playing a lot of freshmanright now,” said Sparks. “Everyweek we have to be realistic,and what’s really good about ourkids is that they’re buying in.”
One of those youngsters isfreshman quarterback Davari-
us Turner. “He took some lumps, made a
lot of freshman mistakes … theway we do our offense, we’reconstantly asking the QB tomake reads,” said Sparks of hisfreshman signal caller. “Thepast 2-3 weeks he’s really start-ed to develop those things. He’sincreasingly gotten better eachweek.”
Progress can be slow attimes, but when a team starts tonotice the top of the mountaincreep closer, it becomes a tail-wind for success.
The Mustangs close out theirseason at 6 p.m., Saturday, Oct.31, at Meadowdale.

son.” Mercy’s floor general is sen-
ior Carly Schnieder, the GGCLleader in kills (244), accordingto the conference.
“Carly is one of those specialplayers who come into your pro-gram and they make an immedi-ate impact and it’s significant,”Harvey said. “She’s been start-ing since she was a freshmanand plays all six rotations, cou-ple that with being a captain aswell as our statistical leader inseveral categories. All of thosethings makes her a player whowe don’t take off the floor.”
Kiki Carle, the Bobcats’sophomore setter, had 573 as-sists (fourth in GGCL) in herfirst season starting.
“I think Kiki has settled intothe position very well,” saidHarvey. “She’s been willing tolearn, which is the main qualityyou want in a setter. She’s notafraid to make mistakes; you’rerunning her out there againstthe GGCL and she’s prettystrong for us, mentally andphysically.”
Senior co-captain Sam Seger
plays a pivotal role for the Bob-cats from her libero position,and her 385 digs rank second inthe GGCL. Harvey said Seger“anchors the defense and pro-vides stability.”
Junior Chloe Klusman, a 6-foot-2 middle committed toWest Virginia, recorded 52blocks (tied for fourth inGGCL). Harvey said Klusman’sreally played well in the secondhalf of the season, and she’sfound a nice working partner-ship with Carle.
“We also have a trio of fresh-men (Alyssa Overbeck, TaylorDrape, Shelby Dennis); a nicelittle group who are seeing thecourt and doing a really goodjob,” Harvey said.
Maybe most important tonote, as of Oct. 23, the Commu-nity Press print deadline, isMercy’s season isn’t over. TheBobcats, ranked No. 6 in The En-quirer Division I area coaches’poll defeated No. 11Lakota Westin a Division I sectional semifi-nal on Oct. 21, 18-25, 25-15, 25-19,25-23.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. - Withthe final stroke of his highschool golf career, St. Xaviersenior Kirran Magowan sentthe St. Xavier gallery into anuproar when he drained a 6-foot birdie putt on 18 to com-plete an even-par round of 72,helping the Bombers win theirfourth Division I state golfchampionship.
Magowan’s score wasn’tused on Friday, only a team’sfour lowest rounds count to-ward the tournament total.
“It’s kind of like a storybookfinish,” said Magowan. “I al-ways kind of replayed it in mymind that it would finish likethis. Everything kind of linedup; I didn’t think I would playthis well.
The Bombers won theirfirst title since 2008 Saturdayon the Scarlet course at theOhio State University GolfClub. St. X shot 616 (303-313) toedge Dublin Jerome’s 621 (316-305). Springboro came in thirdwith 629 (313-316).
“If there was anybody onthe team, if they shot 82 on dayone, that I knew in my heartcould come back and go low,it’s Kirran,” said St. Xavier
coach Alex Kepley. “He’splayed the last part of this sea-son so stellar … 72, that’s adream, but I felt like he couldgo 75 or lower.”
Magowan led the Bomberswith a 36-hole total of 154, fol-lowed by senior Domenic Mar-icocchi with 155 (71-84). JuniorZachary Pavlin shot 157 (77-80), and sophomores MichaelPrebles (80-78) and CameronFrazier (75-83) each shot 158.
Magowan said after, “It’ssurreal, it’s one of those things
… I don’t know, I’m kind ofspeechless after that one.”
Kepley, after winning hisfirst state title as coach, said,“They don’t quit, they keptplaying hard and they knew theimportance of every singleshot … what is so incrediblycool, is when you look at thesefive guys, everybody’s scorecounted at least once and ev-erybody had a round in the 70sthat counted. Their 36-hole to-tals ranging from 154-158 –that’s how it’s been all year.”
St. Xavier senior Kirran Magowan watches his drive find the fairway onthe first hole at the OHSAA Division I state tournament on Friday.
