What the future looks like de-pends on where you are andwhom you ask.

Colerain Township gets that,so the township is planning amonth of meetings to get resi-dents talking about how theircommunity should develop inupcoming years. Zoning offi-cials and they are looking for in-put from a variety of people andareas of the township as theyupdate the township’s compre-hensive plan. That input will beused to devise strategies andplans to insure healthy growthfor the community.

The comprehensive planserves as a kind of road map fordevelopment in the communityand looks at a variety of desiresand needs in the commercialand residential and suburban

and rural parts of one of thelargest townships in Ohio.

Geoff Milz, Colerain Town-ship director of planning andzoning, says wide participationis vital if the process is to workproperly.

“For the up-date to be mean-ingful and use-ful, residentshave to come tothese meet-ings,” he said.“And bringtheir neighborswith them.”

It’s beenmore than 10 years since thecomprehensive plan was updat-ed, and Milz says the communi-ty has changed in that time.Stone Creek Towne Center wasbuilt, Northgate Mall began andcontinues its revitalization ef-forts, and there is renewed com-

mercial development in the Col-erain corridor. The Rumpkelandfill has sued to expand, andthe demographics of the com-munity are changing.

The comprehensive planlays out what the communityvalues to guide developmentand zoning decisions. The cur-rent plan, for example, stressesthe importance of owner-occu-pied residential areas and main-taining the quality of the town-ship’s housing stock and encour-aging sidewalks and bike pathswithin new developments.

“These plans need to changewith the community,” Milz said.“It’s time.”

The township has contractedwith consultants McBride DaleClarion, the firm that guided thelast comprehensive plan pro-ject. The Hamilton County Re-gional Planning Commissionwill be part of the process and

the Colerain Zoning Commis-sion will be the ComprehensivePlan Advisory Committee,working with staff and others toput together an updated com-prehensive plan to present tothe Colerain Township Board ofTrustees for approval.

Breaking the township intosections around neighborhoods,Milz is setting meetings in fiveareas, so residents of differentparts of the township can talkabout what’s happening wherethey live, and what they thinkneeds to happen in their sectorof the community for healthygrowth for the community overall.

Hattie Paige has lived in herhome on Neptune Drive since1968. It has a view of SkylineCommunity Park, right acrossthe street, and can watch thekids cavort on the basketballcourt, dangle from swings orscoot down the slides right fromher living room.

She was shocked to learn thepark could no longer be avail-able to the people who live in herneighborhood. It’s part of theSkyline Community Center be-ing sold by Colerain Townshipas the local government tries tokeep its budget balanced in theface of shrinking financial sup-port from the state.

Kids use this park. It hasswings and slides and a Cross-town Shootout basketball court,thanks to a Home Depot Cross-town Helpout project in 2008.Adults use the park, too. It’s gota walking trail with fitness sta-tions that loops the park and theadjacent Skyline CommunityCenter.

During the summer, the parkhums with activity. Familiesgather for cookouts and re-unions. The community comesto events. People get to knowone another.

So when Hattie Paige heardthe park was part of the parcelfor sale by the township, shestarted down the street tospread the word to her neigh-bors. “I know they don’t know.No one told us,” she said. “Mygrandkids loved to play there.”

Her Skyline neighborhood ispredominantly black. 2010 U.S.Census figures at cincyfairhou-sing.com show that 82 percentof the 1,717 residents of SkylineAcres are black. It’s a close-knitcommunity, neighbors knoweach other here, and she imme-diately started knocking on thedoors of other long-time resi-dents to talk about the possibil-ity that the community couldlost its park.

Her neighbor George Lamb,a 40-plus year resident of thecommunity, wasn’t happy aboutthe possible park sale, either. “Iliked the center, and kids need

somewhere to play.”Of course, the park is not

without it’s problems. Lamb de-tests gambling and drugs,which he says can sometimes befound in the park. “We need tokeep that park for our kids,” hesaid.

Mary Shelton, another Sky-line resident, said she was sur-prised to hear the townshipwould sell the community’spark. “My grandson played bas-ketball there. That property

was donated, so I don’t under-stand how they can just sell it,”she said. “That’s our park.”

Paige shook her head.“Where are all these kids goingto go when they get out of schoolthis summer?” she asked. “Thecenter is closed. If they sell thepark, these kids will have nowhere to go. It’s not right. Welive in this community and wedon’t know anything.”

Melvin Williams, who liveson Bluelark Court near Shelton

said the sale is not a surprise tohim. “It took years to get thecenter, and we never got whatwe were promised by the coun-ty,” he said. “We got half a cen-ter. Never got a pool or tenniscourts and the county didn’tgive the money that was neededto operate the center fully. Wewere boxed in so we couldn’t besuccessful.”

Williams says he thinks race

Index is a factor in the way theneighborhood is treated.“We have no representa-tion in the township,” hesaid.

Colerain Township as-sistant administratorFrank Birkenhauer saysthe decision to sell thecommunity center wasnot about race. It wasabout money. The SkylineCenter cost the townshipmore than $120,000 annu-ally to operate. And thepark is part of the centerproperty.

“We have tried to havenonprofits, the YMCA, wepaid for it ourselves, andcouldn‘t make it work,” hesaid. “Seventy percent ofthe people using the cen-ter were from the city ofCincinnati and Spring-field Township and it be-came a matter of prioritiz-ing how we spend ourmoney.”

For the kids of theneighborhood, the parkwould be a great loss. “Weuse this park,” said one ofthe crowd of basketballplayers on the cementcourt. “They shouldn’tclose it. They should makeit better. We need a waterfountain there.”

The Skyline communi-ty, is divided geographi-cally. Part of the neighbor-hood is in Colerain Town-ship and the NorthwestLocal School District. Theother part is in Spring-field Township and theMount Healthy CitySchool District. But it’sunited in its desire to keepits park.

Colerain Township hadused money from theHamilton County Com-munity DevelopmentBlock Grant program topay for the operation ofthe center. Colerain Town-ship took over operationsthere after the SkylineImprovement Associa-tion lost block grant fund-ing. Colerain and Spring-field townships then fund-ed the operation of thecenter, pooling fundsfrom the block grant pro-

gram. But Springfield Town-

ship dropped its supportin 2009. Colerain con-tinued, requesting part ofits community develop-ment money for the cen-ter’s operation in eachthree-year funding cyclefor the grants. Skyline’soperations were thenbeen paid for partly withgeneral fund money andpartly with money fromthe block grant.

Hamilton County didnot renew funding for thecenter in the three-yearround of funding begin-ning in 2013, dropping thecost back onto the town-ship. And with ongoingerosion of funding fromthe state, Colerain Town-ship officials eventuallydecided the general fundcould no l absorb the costof operating the center.

Colerain Township as-sistant administratorFrank Birkenhauer sayswhile he understands thedispleasure over the park

being for sale, the town-ship made every effort tokeep the Skyline Commu-nity Center open after itno longer received fund-ing through the block

grant program. The township contract-

ed with the ClippardYMCA and allowed DougPelfrey’s Propel nonprofitorganization to operateprograms at the center,leasing it to the group for$1 per year before decid-ing to close it for good andlist it for sale at the end of2014.

“The bottom line is, thecenter could not supportitself,” he said. “It’s possi-ble that a buyer won’twant the park propertyand it could be split off toaccommodate the sale.”

Birkenhauer said thetownship has had some in-quiries, but no sale on theproperty is currentlypending.

“I’d like to see the parkseparated from the sale,”Shelton said as she stoodon her porch. “It does sur-prise me that the town-ship would sell our park.”

Williams says he’s notsurprised Colerain Town-ship is selling the centerand park.

“The township alwaysleaves us out on our ownover here,” he said. “Wepay a lot of taxes and weget very little for the tax-es we pay. The trusteesgave us all kinds of rea-sons why they couldn’tgive us funds. ColerainTownship did our commu-nity a great disservice.”

I’ve said this before: wherever I go Imeet interesting, passionate “foodies.”

Ann Kean, a creative foods teacher atMadeira High School, is one of those

people. Ann said she is tru-ly fortunate to love her job.She wants to make a differ-ence, and she does.

“My teenagers are anx-ious to make, bake and cookanything. They want tomake something each andevery day,” Ann told me.Ann has exposed her stu-dents to all kinds of food,from quinoa to kale to oneof my favorites, cinnamon

rolls.I think this would be so nice for a

Mom’s day breakfast. Don’t you? And forall the moms in our community circle ofreaders, both biological and otherwise, Ihope you have a blessed Mother’s Day.

Readers want to knowWhen can I plant basil outside?When temperatures above the ground

Bake cinnamon rolls, crab cake for mom

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

Homemade cinnamon rolls are a delectable treat for mom.

Ann Kean’s cool rise cinnamon rolls

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

1. Mix

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

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

2 eggs, slightly beaten2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

5. Add an additional 1 to 1-1/2 cups flour and mix well.6. Knead dough for 8 minutes.7. Place dough in an oiled bowl; cover and let rise for

about 2 hours until dough doubles. 8. Roll out dough into a 14 by 18-inch rectangle.9. Spread filling made of:

1/2 cup barely melted unsalted butter1 cup dark brown sugar or combo of any sugars3 tablespoons cinnamon

Leave less than an inch edge all the way around.10. Roll from 18 inches side making a roll.11. Cut into 16 rolls. (Ann says do not saw when cutting, just

press down).12. Place in two 9-inch buttered round pans or 9-by-13

Myrtle’s crab cakes

Talking about another “mom with influ-ence,” this recipe from friend, Perrin Rountree isan heirloom favorite. Perrin is an Anderson Town-ship reader and wonderful cook.

“Family is everything to me,” she said. Iremember fondly her stories of her Grandma,Myrtle, which were always connected with food.Try this when you want a delicious and easy crabcake. Perrin told me her Grandma Myrtle’sstrength and love of family sustains her every day.“Hers was a gentle but firm love. We knew withjust a look when we were behaving poorly, andwith that same look we also knew how much wewere loved.”

Well said! As with all heirloom recipes, therecan be variables. Like the saltines. You may needmore than the recipe says, or you may not. Youwant to be able to have the crab cake be nicelyformed 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 ingredi-ents and mix lightly. Shape into 4 patties. Heat oilin heavy skillet. Over medium heat, fry until gold-en brown on both sides. Serve with extra Tabascoand tartar sauce or your favorite seafood sauce.

April 29 questionWas Reds manager Bryan Price

right about what he said aboutmedia coverage hurting his team?What is the media’s role in coveringlocal sports franchises?

“Bryan Price was totally offbase in what he said about themedia coverage. The media isn’tthere to be a friend of the teamand only cover good news, or putnews out when the team wants it,that would be a press release, thatthe team controls.

“The media is there to coverthe team. He may (be upset) theinformation wasn’t released theway it was, but the reality is that itwas. Instead of responding towhat he wished hadn’t happenedhe should have been matureenough to address what hap-pened in an adult manner.

“He can take his concernsabout the local media to the Redsupper management and they candevise a strategy in how they re-late or release information to themedia.

“The media’s job is to report,not make sure the team, manageror a specific player is happy. It

was embarrassing in terms of thecontent of his rant and it alsomade it look like he wasn’t readyto be a major league manager,which may be the case. “

C.S.

“This is kind of like answeringthat age old most dangerousquestion: Do these pants makemy butt look fat? Therefore no,Price was wrong blaming themedia coverage for hurting histeam, his team’s performance ishurting his team. What part ofthis is so hard to understand?”

M.J.F.

“If a manager etc... wants tokeep some information from be-ing disseminated he needs to tellthe reporters it is ‘off the record.’I would hope the local Reds re-porters would respect that wish.But in this day of paparazzi andsocial media scoops, Price shouldassume the information will getout. His choice of foul language tocomplain about it was ridiculous.

“Keep in mind Reds Hall ofFame reporter Hal McCoy wasthe one who leaked the BrandonPhilips ‘hating the St. Louis Car-dinals.’ That led to quite an alter-cation a few years ago. Of coursethat was when the Reds made theplayoffs under Dusty Bakerthree times, yet he was fired.Manager Price and GM WaltJocketty will be gone by year end.Go Figure!!!

T.D.T.

“Sorry, never heard of him.Unfortunately, we don’t have asports franchise. The closest onein in Columbus. Maybe next year,Blue Jackets. A bunch of yourveterans are on the Rangers.”

KAREEM ELGAZZAR/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Reds manager Bryan Price is interviewed by Cincinnati media during spring training.

A new puppy is always anexciting time in a household andours is no different as we justadded a five-month-old puppy,named Clooney to our house-hold.

The high-end energy he has,along with chewing everythingin sight, keeps us busy. Ourrescue cats, George and Ozzie,are still trying to figure outwhere this crazy creature camefrom as he is interrupting theirleisurely quiet environment.Our one cat George, tries tohang in there, but in a romp, thepup is totally in another weightclass.

One of the first things peopledo with a new puppy is havethem microchipped. This is asimple process of a tiny com-puter chip, compatible withliving tissue, is injected underthe skin. This identifies the dogif they get lost, allowing them tobe “scanned” when found andreturned to their owner.

When I was a little guy, ourfirst-grade class took a field tripto the zoo and somehow in the“Elephant House,” when I wastrying to figure just how amouse could go up an elephant’strunk, like the one in the storyour teacher read…my class-mates moved on without me. It

wasn’t untilafter I wastotally mes-merized by thesize of ele-phant’s dung(poop), that Irealized I wasthe only kidthere with alarge nametagpinned to his

shirt. At least that’s what Ithought as I looked downwarddiscovering a safety pin withonly the remains of a formernametag. Finally with tearsrunning down my cheeks, out-side the reptile house, a zooattendant noticed me. A quickPA announcement caught myteacher’s attention, reunitingwith my class.

I can image in the not toodistant future that we will all bemicrochipped! This would allowa lost child like myself at thezoo to be scanned for name,address and cell number. Actu-ally this has already happenedwith some individuals merelywaving their microchippedhand to open doors, start carsand control computers. Imagineno more searching for creditcards to side in gas pumps, orstore checkouts, now just ges-

turing your hand across a scan-ner!

My wife works at a localhospital and is always con-cerned about keeping thingscleaned to avoid catching some-thing. So the downside of thishuman computer chip is thepossibility of getting a…yourright…“a computer virus!” Thishas already happen to a guywith a microchip as he passedthe virus to his desktop, phoneand people receiving his emails.This virus could affect otherhuman implant devices likepacemakers and…OK, stop!

I try not to think of a futuretech world or what some call“post-human.” I’d rather sittyping this while rubbing mypuppy’s ears than mental send-ing my brain thoughts overwireless airwaves to someprinter. I know these humanidentity chips are coming downthe road, but in my “LivingWill” I will ask that all chips beremoved so I may… “Rest inPeace!”

While the Americanpublic has received asteady diet of stories re-garding security insidethe nation’s schools, littlefront page attention hasbeen given to the outside.

Sinceelementaryschool chil-dren con-tinue toenjoy re-cess peri-ods onschoolplay-grounds,should weexamine

safety and security prep-arations for these areas aswell?

Although the tradition-al recess period has dis-appeared from many ele-mentary schools, it is stillscheduled during the noonhour for most studentswith an additional morn-ing or afternoon periodfor children in grades K-3.

Very often the outsiderecess periods are theleast secure time of anyschool day. In order tocreate the most secureplayground area possibleschool officials shouldcollaborate with localpolice officers to developa basic security/safetyplan.

This plan needs to in-clude physical adaptationsto the facility as well asspecific procedures forplayground supervisors tofollow..

Most school play-grounds are adjacent topublic streets and/orfields. As a result, theyare openly vulnerable tounwanted visitors, preda-tors and trespassers. Ifpossible these areasshould be surrounded by afence and surveyed withvideo cameras.

A fence serves as a firstline barrier that detersand prevents unautho-rized persons from enter-ing the property. It alsophysically defines theboundaries of the playarea and discourages pub-lic entrance during nonschool hours, thus de-creasing potential liabilitysituations for the school.

Cameras and signs thatdenote their presence notonly dissuade the admit-tance of unwanted per-

sons, but record all move-ments that take placewhere children are play-ing.

Officials can incorpo-rate the use of cameras aspart of their non-schoolhour security arrange-ments as well.

The most importantaspect of maintaining asafe and secure play-ground for children is howwell staff members arecoached to proactivelysupervise the play area.Such training should em-phasize the need to roamthe perimeter of the playarea while maintaining avigilant eye on the chil-dren, strangers, and sus-picious vehicles.

Emergency situationscan occur at any time,especially when childrenare engaged in active play.Unforeseen incidents posea constant threat. Bearingthis in mind playgroundsupervisors should havetraining in first aid andcommunication proce-dures. Basic first aid kitsshould always be availableon the playground whileeach supervisor shouldcarry a cell phone andpanic button.

School administratorsshould designate a staffmember to inspect theplayground and equip-ment each day beforechildren use them. A visu-al inspection of equipmentcan easily detect danger-ous loose fittings, screws,bolts, surface anchors,etc. while broken glassand other debris can beremoved before they be-come a safety issue. Theequipment should receivea complete inspection atleast once a month.

Other aspects of thesafety/security planshould include a list ofrules, suggested orga-nized activities and spe-cifically outlined routinesand signals to assure theorderly movement of chil-dren.

So how safe is yourlocal school’s playground?Check the school’s play-ground safety plan.

See SHORT HOPS, Page 2B

COLERAIN TWP — NorthwestHigh School entered the trackseason with the goal of keepinga four-year streak alive. Duringthat time, the Knights have sentat least one athlete to the statemeet.

This year, it appears there isas good a chance as any for theKnights to send multiple ath-letes to the state meet June 5-6at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadi-um in Columbus.

“That’s every coach’s goal,”Northwest coach Lori Spencesaid. “We would love to win ateam state title. But, we’re tak-ing it one meet at a time.”

The season has gone well tothis point as the Knights leadthe Southwest Ohio Conferencein 10 of 18 events.

DeVohn Jackson, a three-time state qualifier and part ofthe 2013 state champion 4x100

meter relay team, has the con-ference’s top time in the 100 and200 meter dashes. His timesalso place him in the top 10 in thecity in both events.

Teammate Jordan Booker’stimes in both events put himright behind Jackson in the con-ference landscape.

Myles Pringle has the fastesttime in the 400-meter dash in-side the conference and in thecity. In addition, he leads theconference and is tied for thecity lead in the high jump at 6feet, 4 inches.

“His time of 48.5 seconds inthe 400 is up there as one of thebest in the state,” Spence said.

Malik Beverly, who won the110 meter high hurdles at theCoaches Classic April 10, holdsa slim lead on Loveland’s Gio-vanni Ricci at the 110 meter dis-tance. He is second in the city inthe 300 meter hurdles behindKings’ Tommy Bruns.

Beverly is also fourth in the

city in the long jump. In addition, the Knights are

second in the city in the 4x100meter relay and third in the4x200 and 4x400.

“Our guys are working hardand times look good,” Spencesaid. “Hopefully, we finish wellin the league and continue to ad-vance in the postseason.”

She said in order to keep ad-vancing as a team, the Knightsneed to have quality finishes be-cause they don’t have the depthother teams have. Athletes needto finish near the top of eventsand can’t afford many fourth,fifth or sixth-place finishes.

Time and again, Spence saidspeed is the strength of thisteam. It just has to use it.

“Northwest could win thestate in Division I if they line itup right,” Mount Healthy coachKen Meibers said before theseason got rolling.

COLERAIN TWP. — There’s averitable difference betweenballplayers and athletes. Thelatter can get by, perhaps evenwin some big games. The for-mer can thrive and, eventually,they rise to the top.

This season, Colerain HighSchool has ballplayers.

“We finally have some truebaseball players, not just ath-letes,” first-year head coachJustin Yeary said. “They’rebaseball players, and they’reready to play game.”

Colerain, ranked No. 5 in TheEnquirer Division I area coach-es’ poll, won 14 of its first 17games to start the season andthe Cardinals are currently insecond place in the Greater Mi-ami Conference race.

Yeary said he, and his staff,expected the Cardinals to be for-midable, as most the starters re-turned from last year’s 12-16team. The rest of the city mightbe surprised to see the Cardi-nals surging on the diamond.Colerain hasn’t had a winningseason since 2008.

Yeary’s coached in Colerain’ssystem for the last seven years.He said his team has truly putforth the time and effort re-quired to compete at the highestlevel. It doesn’t hurt that theCardinals are qualified and ca-pable in all three areas of thegame: Pitching, hitting and de-fense.

“We’re a complete team,” Ye-ary said. “There’s not a hole I seein our lineup. Our 8-9 guys couldeasily hit 1-2. Pitching’s been sol-id, as long as our guys throwstrikes. Defensively, I think be-ing here the last seven years,this is the best defensive team

I’ve seen at Colerain.” Opponents can attest, pitch-

ing to Colerain has been chal-lenging.

“I’m glad I’m not an opposingpitcher trying to pitch to ourlineup,” said Yeary. “Guys 1-9have some pop off their bats andthey’re hitting line drives, gap-to-gap.”

Seniors Jake Murray andGenesis Hillard jump out. Mur-ray leads the GMC in average(.537), RBI (29) and home runs(5). Hillard’s hitting .469 with 20RBI (third in GMC) and 30 hits(leads GMC). Sophomore RyanMurray has 12 stolen bases(leads GMC) and he’s batting.465 with 20 hits. Kyle Boldenand Spencer Henn have both hittwo home runs and Cory Hef-fron’s hitting .388.

“I want to thankPresident Fr. Howe,

Principal Mr. Terry Tyrrell, Athletic Di-rector Mr. John Sullivan and the rest ofthe selection committee for giving methe unbelievable opportunity of joiningthe St. Xavier family,” said Lallathin. “St.X is a quintessential high school when itcomes to great academics and athleticswhile leading young men in the class-room and court to be servant leaders ofthe future. I look forward to gettingstarted right away to continue to build aprogram that makes this community, itsalums, and future Bombers, proud of St.Xavier High School.”

Lallathin went to Kennesaw State af-

SPRINGFIELD TWP. — James Lallathinhas been named the St. Xavier basket-ball coach, St. Xavier athletic directorJohn Sullivan announced April 29.

Lallathin just finished a season as themen’s head basketball coach at Kenne-saw State after serving as the interim,associate and assistant head coach in theprogram during the past four years.

Lallathin, 36, drove up to St. X the af-ternoon of April 29 from his home inGeorgia to meet with the team April 30.

“I’m ecstatic,” Lallathin told Cincin-nati.com. “To get an opportunity to workat such a fantastic high school both aca-demically and athletically - it’s a dreamcome true.”

Sullivan added, “I am very excited tohave Jimmy Lallathin as the third coachin the last 65 years to lead the basketballprogram. We are confident he will con-

ter four years as a member of the coach-ing staff at Miami University.

He joined the RedHawks program asan administrative assistant one seasonbefore assuming the role of director ofbasketball operations and then assistantcoach. Prior to his time at Miami, Lal-lathin served a four-year stint as themen’s associate varsity head coach at La-kota West High School in his native WestChester.

Lallathin said the one constant is bas-ketball throughout all his coaching lev-els over the years.

He said he will enter St. X with a cleanslate and no agenda as he meets the team.He will assemble his coaching staff verysoon too.

Lallathin was one of more than 40 ap-plicants for the position after longtimeSt. Xavier coach Scott Martin resignedon March 18.

As a Miami University assistant, Lal-lathin recruited former St. X standoutRoderick Mills. Lallathin is familiar with

the various conferences and programsaround the area.

In addition to his coaching responsi-bilities, Lallathin spent four years as anintervention specialist, teaching mathand science at Lakota West.

He served as the Lakota West Basket-ball Camp Director, Firebird SummerHoops Director and was a CincinnatiAAU head coach for a year. Lallathin at-tended Lakota High, where he was athree-year varsity starter on the basket-ball team.

He spent two years at Marietta Col-lege, where he was a two-year letter win-ner in basketball. Lallathin transferredto Miami in 1999 and earned his bache-lor’s degree in education in 2003.

Lallathin and his wife, Robyn, willmove to Cincinnati with their twindaughters, Clara and Ava.

Lallathin said he is undecided onwhere the family will live at the moment.

COLLEGE HILL — Every runtells a story. Each step reveal-ing something new, as prepara-tion meets pavement in thesearch of a better time.

The first time McAuleycoach Ron Russo saw McKenziePfeifer run, he saw somethingspecial. McKenzie, a senior atMcAuley High School, has au-thored some great runs in hercareer. But, on April 25 at theEastern Relays, she launchedinto another gear with a 5:06.17mile, a top-10 time in the state,according to milesplit.com. TheUniversity of Louisville noticedand offered McKenzie her firstscholarship, according to Rus-so.

Her mile at Eastern was apersonal best, and Pfeifer saidshe could tell during the race itwas a special run.

“I knew I was running a real-ly smart race and moving up. Iknew I was gonna run a big(race) that day,” she said.

Pfeifer, whom Russo said hasa chance to become one of only afew four-time state qualifiers inMcAuley history, is from a fam-ily of runners. Her older sister,Danielle, is a junior and two-time All-American at the Uni-versity of Michigan and hermother and father were bothrunners, she said.

“I used to try and play everysport there was in the book,”Pfeifer said. “I went out for thecross country team freshmanyear and it ended up sticking.”

Russo’s had a unique per-spective. He’s watched her shed

doubt, and find confidence thesame way runners find theirstride. The difference is, now,McKenzie’s more mentally in-volved in each race, Russo said.“Now, Kenzie’s looking at ‘Howdo I win?'

“She ran with so much confi-dence (at Eastern),” said Russo,who’s in his sixth year at McAu-ley and 27th overall. "My chal-lenge as a coach has alwaysbeen getting her to believe inher training and take somerisks. When you take risks andpush the envelope. A lot of timesyou’ll be so surprised with justhow good you are."

Pfeifer, who runs about 45miles a week in addition toweight training and biking, saidthe night before a race she runsthe race “over and over” in her

mind how she wants it to go.Then, during the race she triesto play it out how she envisionedit.

“(Winning a race) is honestlythe best feeling. The whole timeyou’re racing, that’s whatyou’re thinking about,” Pfeifersaid. “It’s all the mentality youhave. It’s easy to stop and say ‘Ican’t finish this run.’ There’spain every day and it will goaway if you just keep pushing.”

Russo said watching Pfeiferhit her personal best (by six sec-onds) was the moment every-thing finally came together.

“There’s nothing easy aboutbeing a distance runner. Youhave to lead almost a spartan-type of lifestyle because it’s sophysically and mentally de-manding,” said Russo.
