It’s what area companies are trying to avoid, and a local company that thinks it has the solution wants Deer Park High School to be a part of it. Doug Arthur, executive director of INTERalliance, wants to start a chapter at Deer Park that students can join to begin networking, learning and working on practical projects for local companies. Students could participate in internships, receive scholarships, attend camps with students from other schools and take part in other activities with local students, universities and companies, he said. Schools with chapters start students in 10th grade in the program, which could place students with compa- nies to work on a project, or open them up to scholarships or internship, and then they could continue into college, where co-ops are available. All along, stu- dents are able to network with employ- ees and execu- tives to famil- iarize them- selves with the company and vice versa, Ar- thur said. INTERalliance has 85 high schools, four universi- ties and 90 companies work- ing together, he said. Arthur added that the point of the company is to provide practi- cal experience early and keep young adults in the area. There is no cost to start a chapter at Deer Park, he said. High school Principal Lar- ry Knapp said he has a list of teachers that could be poten- tial advisers for the chapter, and added that he’s looking forward to what students could do within an INTERal- liance chapter. “This is a great opportuni- ty for our kids,” he said. “I’m looking forward to making this fly, and I think it will fly high.” Want more updates for Deer Park? Follow Leah Fightmaster on Twit- ter: @LCFightmaster. Deer Park considers club for future employment By Leah Fightmaster [email protected] Knapp Police departments across the area are keeping up with technology and upgrading their Tasers. Within the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department, the move is from the X26 model to the X2. The older X26, which the department began to use several years ago, is being gradually phased out and re- placed by the newer, more ad- vanced one, Lt. Tom Butler said. The X2, which allows an offi- cer to engage the Taser with two targets at once instead of one, is made by Taser Interna- tional. Butler said that a couple of the department’s X26 models have malfunctioned or broken, and when they were sent back for repairs, some cost almost as much to repair as newer, up- graded X2 models. Sycamore Township bought two of the new models in Febru- ary to replace two older ones that broke. Butler said that if they wanted to repair the cur- rent ones, it would cost about $800 each, without a warranty, whereas new ones would come with a full four-year warranty and the equipment for about $1,300 each. Symmes Township bought one X2 Taser in April. Butler cited the same reasons, saying that the newer ones are better technology and allow officers to hit two targets at once. “It seemed logical to replace (the old ones) than to repair old ones with no warranty,” he said. The department tests Tasers each day during roll call when the officer begins his or her shift. Tasers are also tested quarterly by Taser Interna- tional by uploading data, such as the number of test fires and actual fires, and allowing the company to update the Taser’s software, Butler said. The Blue Ash and Loveland Police Departments will both be switching to the P26X. Blue Ash Police Chief Paul Hartinger said the Taser is a very useful tool because it gives his officers less-than-le- thal options for dealing with in- dividuals. "If we didn't have the Taser, we would be forced to use hand- to-hand tactics, which can re- sult in injuries to suspects and officers," Hartinger said. "The Taser helps officers to more safely protect citizens." Tasers are used in situations where individuals could be ac- tively or passively resisting of- ficers, Hartinger said, but of- ten times it is used in active sit- uations where a person is ag- gressive toward officers. All Taser uses by the Blue Ash Police Department in re- cent memory have had positive outcomes, Hartinger said, meaning there have been no is- sues as a result of usage. The Loveland Police Depart- ment is going to upgrade sever- al of its Taser units to the P26X in 2014, and Police Chief Tim Sabransky said his force has a model policy for using the de- vices. "In a situation where we have to use force, it is a reaction to something bad people do," Sa- bransky said. "We have limited tools to do our job – make an ar- rest or prevent harm." Prior to Tasers, police had hand-to-hand tactics, chemical- irritant spray and night clubs, Sabransky said, limiting op- tions for less-than-lethal force. The new wave of Tasers also will bring technological ad- vancements. The new units will all contin- uously monitor output and store the information internal- ly, so that departments can ana- lyze everything the weapons were doing when employed. "Tasers are a really good al- ternative to physical force," Sa- bransky said. "There is always risk, but the Taser allows our officers to be exposed to mini- mum risk while affecting an ar- rest." In Sycamore Township, 59- year-old Gary Roell Sr. died Aug. 13 while being taken into custody by Hamilton County Sheriff’s deputies after being tased. Sheriff Jim Neil said that the correct use of force was used by officers during the in- cident. Deer Park Police Chief Mi- chael Schlie said the depart- ment, which uses the P25X model as well, has discussed with Law Director Andrew Helmes about whether it should upgrade to a newer mod- el, because of pending lawsuits. However, Schlie said upgrad- ing Tasers isn’t on the table at the moment, and they’re safer to have them in operation. “It’s more effective to have them out there than to not,” he said. “There’s a greater chance of injury to an officer or sus- pect if we didn’t have them.” A police officer test fires his Taser.

    Shes taken a boys team tothe state meet before; IndianHill last won the CincinnatiHills League in 1996. Thisyear, though admittedly be-hindWyoming, she has one ofher better boys teams.

    The Braves finished sec-ond at the yearly CentervilleStampede behind Oakwood,one of the top teams in thestate.

    about where we are andwhats happening.

    Indian Hill is led by WellsCoalfleet, BenWarstler, TrentGeyer, Joe Majchszak, JoshLeibel, Devin Heffernan andPatrick Giroux.

    MADEIRA The swingingAmazons of Maderia HighSchool have a stranglehold onfourth place in the CincinnatiHills League in girls tennis.

    Since 2007, Madeira has fin-ished fourth behind IndianHill,Wyoming and Mariemont sixtimes.

    Considering the upper eche-lonof theCHLismadeupof ten-nis powers, thats not a badthing. Midway through the sea-son, the Amazons were in thirdplace and had already reached10 wins.

    Considering what we have,we do fine, 22-year coach Lyn-da Maslow said. This year inparticular, were very young.

    Lynda and Arnie Maslowcoach the Madeira boys andgirls and swap head coachingduties with the seasons. Theyare both realistic about theirstate of affairs at the MadeiraSwim and Tennis Club off Mi-ami Avenue.

    Were not going to beat Indi-an Hill, Wyoming or Marie-mont, Maslow said. Againstthose three teams, we donthave a prayer. Those schoolshave middle school programs;their kids take lessons and playtournaments.

    What they do have in all oftheir years of coaching is a life-time of relationships with play-ers thathave stoodby thepicnicbench near the parking lot asopening introductions were be-ing given.

    Many of their players werenot players when they showedup. Some come by every nowand then and the Maslows usu-ally are at someones weddingeach summer.

    My kids start playing whentheyre freshman, sophomores,seniors, Maslow said. Those(Indian Hill, Wyoming, Marie-mont) kids start playing whentheyrea lotyounger.Unlessmy

    kids start playing when theyre7 or 8 years old, were not goingto beat them.

    Non-conference and againstothers in the CHL, the Amazonshold their own. Junior CeliaKline is in her third year onvar-sity and is at first singles again.

    Once the tennis season isover, Kline will be bouncing a

    basketball. However, with askirt and a racquet, shes one ofthe better players in the league.

    At second singles is sopho-more Rachel Chambers, whohas had a relatively quick rise.As a freshman, she was playingsecond doubles on the junior

    Junior Celia Kline is Madeiras No. 1 singles player for the secondstraight year. SCOTT SPRINGER/COMMUNITY PRESS

    have players meetingbefore the season. Notonly did the kid run themeeting - coming in pre-pared with five pages ofnotes on goals, expecta-tions and supportingscripturetogowith itall he made sure to e-mailteammates parents tomake sure they knewtheir sons would be a lit-tle late getting home.

    Now thats just un-heard of, Taylor said.But thats the kind ofleader and player hesbeen for us all fouryears.

    So maybe its not sur-prising to discoverMarsh gives others a lotof credit for his successand gaudy statistics,which through the firstfour games of the seasonincluded seven touch-downs and a 6.4-yards-per-carry average on of-fense and 19 sacks on de-fense.

    Up front has reallybeen great, Marsh said.Our line on both sides ofthe ball has been verygood. Theyve opened alot of holes for me to runandtheyveoccupiedalotof linemen going the oth-er way that let me get tothe quarterback.

    Marsh said the latteris especially fun.

    Thats probably oneof the best feelings youcan have on the footballfield at linebacker, hesaid. When you can getto the quarterback orwhen a receiver comesacross the middle andyou can just hit himhard.

    As far as college

    SYMMES TWP. Hiscoaches call him TheProfessor.

    With good reason. Cin-cinnati Hills ChristianAcademy senior NickMarsh carries betterthanafour-pointacadem-ic average with a sched-ule featuring AP govern-ment, AP microeconom-ics, AP statistics and APenvironmental science.

    To say nothing ofwhatthe Marsh called his bestsubject - honors English -wherehereadssuch lightfare as Dantes Inferno.

    Andwhile it is a Chris-tian school, Marsh is ahell of a weapon as a two-way player for head foot-ball coach Eric Taylor.

    Marsh leads the teamin rushing yards as a run-ning back and is secondon the team in sacks atlinebacker.

    And thats with himonly playing part time onoffense, Taylor said.Wehave togethimsomerest somewhere, and wecant afford to give it tohim on defense, so hereally splits time at run-ning back.

    Hes a high-motorkid. He doesnt stop. Hesrelentless. Its not justfootball. Its in theweightroom. Its in his studies.Its in his other sports.Thats hismakeup.Hes agreat leader.

    Taylor tells a story ofMarshs freshman yearwhen he came to thecoach during summerpractices and asked to

    goes, Ive been recruited(by mostly NCAA Divi-sionI-AAandDivisionIIIschools) more on the de-fensive side.

    More than the hitting,Marsh said he enjoys therelationships hes builtsincetakingupfootball infifthgrade.Heliveswith-inwalkingdistanceof theschooloftengoinghomefor lunch, thanks to a sen-ior off-campus privilege and CHCA is just asclose to his heart.

    Ive been with mybest friends in the worldon the football field sincefifth grade, he said.Weve experienced a lotof success. We want tokeep working togetherand experience somemore in our last year to-gether.

    This summer, two Cin-cinnati natives represent-ed the United States at anelite international tourna-ment.

    Itwasnt theWorldCupor the Summer Olympics it was the World Under23 Ultimate Champion-ships in Toronto.

    Ultimate Frisbee, orUltimate for short, is aself-refereed, non-con-tact sport. Two teamscompete on a 70-yard by40-yard fieldwith 20-yardend zones.

    Much like football,teamsadvance thediscupthe field to scorebycatch-ing it in the opponentsend zone. Unlike football,once a player has the discinhishands,hecannotrunwith it.

    Ultimate has beensteadily growing in popu-larity across the nation atall levels. Middle schools,high schools, colleges,and communities haveadopted this sport as anew way for physical ac-tivity and meeting newpeople. Cincinnati hasseen a growth in its Ulti-mate community and isnow home to the Revolu-tion, an American Ulti-mate Disc League profes-sional team.

    Bethany Kaylor, 20, ofWest Chester, and PaigeSoper, 22, of Madeira,were selected to repre-sent the United States atthe highest level of Ulti-mate for their age group.Both women had to applyto try out and competeagainst hundreds of otherAmerican U-23 womenfor a place on the teams.

    Soper was selected toplay on the womens teamand Kaylor played on themixed-gender team. Bothteams, along with a mens

    team, competed against16 represented nations toplace first, bringinghomethree gold medals to theU.S. Ultimate community.

    Kaylor and Soper havebecome elite womens Ul-timate players, but eachtookverydifferent routesto get to this level.

    Kaylor, a 2011UrsulineAcademy graduate, owesit to her dad,MikeKaylor,for her involvement inUl-timate. Mike started theUltimate team at the Uni-versity of Dayton in 1988.Hecontinues toplay in thecommunity, as well ascoach the Mount NotreDame-Moeller highschool team.

    Kaylor reluctantlystarted playing withMND-Moeller in 2007when her father asked forher help when he wasshort on girls.

    In moments of pubes-cent defiance, I even toldmy father that I wouldnever play Ultimate, thatit was dumb. Things obvi-ously changed, said Kay-lor.

    She fell in lovewith thesport and has not lookedback. This year, her col-lege team, Oregon Fugue,won the USA UltimateCollege Championship.

    PaigeSoper, a 2009Ma-deira graduate, did not

    start playingUltimate un-til her second year at TheOhio State University.

    Thefirst IheardofUl-timateFrisbeewas inhighschool when we had abreak at band camp dur-ing the summers. I didntactuallyknowitwasanor-ganized sport, said Sop-er.

    After her rookie year,Soper was named co-cap-tain of her team, OSU Fe-ver. In two years of cap-tainship, she helped leadFever to becoming one ofthe top teams in the na-tion, tying for third andfifth at the USA UltimateCollege Championship.

    Soper graduated fromOSU with a degree innursing last May and hasmoved back to Cincinnati.She plans to continueplaying, as well as giveback to her community.

    There is alreadyYouth Club level in Cin-cinnati with some biggerhigh schools involved, butit hasnt grown much out-side of that, said Soper.

    Soper plans to start anUltimate program for theCHL and run summercamps in her comingyears in Cincinnati.

    A publication of

    I am writing to clarify myposition on the historical prop-

    erties in Ma-deira. I haveoffered topurchase theland beneaththe HosbrookHouse, but notthe land be-neath theMuchmoreHouse, whichcurrentlyhouses mybusiness, Cre-

    ativities Studio.I would love to own the

    Muchmore property, but Ifirmly believe it should re-main in the ownership of thecity and its residents. As Ivestated many times, I thinkboth properties should remainin the ownership of the city,and that they can be economicgenerators, while providinghistory and charm in a waynew buildings simply can not.

    So why am I offering to buythe land beneath one of thehouses and build a new house?In a word - compromise.

    Our city leaders feelstrongly that they should sellthis land, and I am hopeful

    this will save at least one ofthe properties, and the overallhistorical look of our down-town.

    There are a lot of wins inthis scenario:

    One historic property, theMuchmore House, stayswhere it is, and continues tobe owned by the city of Madei-ra and its residents. This alsosaves it from the risks of amove.

    The historical heart of ourdowntown (although nowsmaller) remains in tact withthe combination of the TrainStation and the Muchmore

    House.Our city leaders get to sell

    some of the land, generatingrevenues for the city.

    The Madeira Womans Clubremains in the HosbrookHouse, at their reduced rent,but in a new location that theyhave stated will work forthem.

    The property that is sold(the land beneath the Hos-brook House) remains in thehands of a 20-year Madeiraresident and Madeira busi-ness owner, who has a vestedinterest in growing our econo-my and retaining the charm of

    our downtown, including ourgreen spaces.

    Creativities can expand,which we must do, to remainin Madeira. This allows us toheadquarter our company inMadeira as we grow to otherlocations, keeping the taxdollars in our community.

    Whether you like this ideaor another, contact your elect-ed officials. These propertiesbelong to you, the residents ofMadeira. Their future shouldrepresent your wishes.

    master teachers such as Mer-edith Loughran, 40 years highschool social studies, and BobWest, 31 years in English, toname but two. They set anexample on a daily basis howthis job should be done and Iwanted to be as successful asthey were.

    That competitive nature isindicative of the cultureamongst the staff. It is a cul-ture of high achievement andexcellence. Excellence breedsexcellence and it is highlydependent upon experience.

    Throughout the manychanges that have occurred,one overwhelming constanthas always been our staffsunwavering pursuit of provid-ing Indian Hills children withthe best possible educationalexperience.

    Across the district, wecontinually strive to helpmake our students becomethe best version of them-selves. This is a very emotion-al task and one that we teach-ers take very seriously.

    By all accounts, it wouldseem that we have been doingan outstanding job. For ex-ample in the past year aloneall of our schools had all-timehigh test scores in variouscategories and our districtachieved an all-time highPerformance Index of 111.5(No. 3 in the state).

    At the current time ourboard is proposing severalchanges that will alter thechemistry that has been a part

    of the IndianHill SchoolDistrict longbefore I be-gan my ca-reer. Thesechanges willdiscouragetalented edu-cators in thefuture fromdedicating acareer towardthe children

    of Indian Hill as we have inthe past.

    Teaching your children isnot like working on an assem-bly line. Teaching is every bitan art as it is a science.

    In comparison, as parentswe tend to make better andmore informed decisionsconcerning our children as wegain parental experience.

    It is the same with teach-ing, and veteran teachershave had experience withhundreds and thousands ofstudents.

    I have taught at Indian Hillfor 23 years and I have seenmany things change duringthat time.

    At the onset of my careerat Indian Hill I was fortunateto be influenced by several

    However, based on recentschool board proposals, theboard members dont seem toview these results that way.

    While the board may bewell meaning, they are mis-taken as to the impact theirproposals will have on theeducation of the children inthis school district.

    I urge you to become in-formed on these changes theschool board is proposing.While they may be well in-tentioned the unintendedconsequences will be devas-tating to one of the best schooldistricts in the state of Ohio.It will lead to a general de-cline in the experience thatthe children of this communi-ty receive throughout theirschooling.

    Innovating for the sake ofinnovating is not smart. Whensomething is working well,you do not want to make ma-jor changes. (For example,New Coke for Coca Cola.)

    Indian Hill School Districtis high performing in all mea-sureable ways, and more im-portantly, in many ways thatare difficult to measure. Theentire community benefitsfrom this.

    Last weeks questionShould college athletes be

    paid? If so, now much? If not,why not?

    College athletes should re-ceive scholarships and sti-pends for play. A large per-centage of players come fromlow-income families that can-not financially support the ath-letes.

    The scholarships do not in-cludeextramoneyfordailyex-penses.

    As a result, a number ofplayers in recent times haveresorted to selling awards,autographs and accepting carsand other favors because theyhave no money.

    I do appreciate that com-mon sense and good judge-ment also play a role.

    However, how many read-ers of the could survive on noincome?

    We all know that athletescannot not get jobs during

    school due to the demands ontheir schedules for training,practice and playing locallyand across country and thentheres studying, attendingclasses and homework.

    Come on, we all enjoywatching them perform andespecially winning. Lets payour college athletes!

    E.E.C.

    College athletes getting

    paid for field/court perfor-mances? Nope!

    This is part of their educa-tional experience and if anycompensation is granted thatmoves into the professionallevel, and the pricing of a col-lege game or event would becost prohibitive as it is nowwith professional sports.

    Maybe a reduction on theirtuitionmaybe, butnot compen-sation!

    O.H.R.

    College athletes on schol-arship already are paid in theform of an education.

    Problem is they are alsovery often enticed into comingto a certain school for otherreasonsthantoplayasportandget an education boosters of-fer bribes of money, sex, andvarious things they shouldntbe offering.

    BLUEASHJerryChen, a 24-year-old Sycamore High Schoolalumnus, is hopingGreaterCin-cinnati sushi lovers enjoy theatmosphereathisnewbusiness.

    Kanpai JapaneseSteakhouse, 11255 Reed Hartman Highwayin Blue Ash, openedMay 30 andis the first business venture forChenandhis sisterMaggie. Thesiblings, both Sycamore Highgrads and Blue Ash residents,think they have somethingunique to offer that other res-taurants dont.

    Here we try differentthings and change the menu,Jerry said. We keep learningand improving on recipes andwe offer an atmosphere wherewere easier to talk to.

    Jerry has been learning dif-ferent sushi-rolling techniquesand one of his specialties in-volves making the rolls in foiland lighting them on fire. Therestaurant also employs twoheadchefs, Jerry said onewhocooks traditional recipes and amodern, fusion chef. Varietyand different approaches in thekitchen offer customers moreoptions, he said.

    The Chens main goal is is tobuild a reputation, not a restau-rant empire, meaning anyoneon the staff will talk with cus-tomers and answer questions.

    We are very family friendly people feel comfortable,Maggiesaid. Customerscansithere for hours talking to (Jerryand I) or the chefs and just en-joy the whole experience.

    Amainstay at the restaurant

    is Kim Jung Hee, University ofCincinnati student and lifelongfriend of the Chens, who worksas awaitress. JungHees fatherowns restaurants in the southand she said the way food ser-vice is executed at Kanpai setsit apart.

    Ifsomething isnotabsolute-ly fresh we will not serve it,Jung Hee said. We care aboutquality but also customersneeds and serving a good quan-tity with affordable prices.

    Kanpai offers lunch and din-ner specials and boasts a sushi

    bar, hibachi grills and a privatedining room with sliding doors.Jerry said themenuwill contin-ually be changing as the staffcomes up with new recipes andiscurrentlyworkingonadiffer-ent variety of smoked salmon.

    Its good here, Jerry said.We are a family helping eachother out and its about reputa-tion, not really money.

    COMMUNITY PRESS

    Pam Middendorff has beensaddling up horses since shewas a child.

    Over the years, Ive had thegood fortune to meet manyhorse enthusiasts like myselfand trail riders in particular,the Indian Hill resident said.

    They are a great group offolks from all walks of life witha singular love of horses but be-cause of their diversity of rid-ing styles and geography, theyhad no way of connecting witheach other.

    Until now.Middendorff and others

    have formed the Indian HillEquestrianClub,which she saidis currently the villages onlyadult riding club.

    Severalmonthsago, Ibegantalking with a group of friendsabout starting a trail-ridinggroup and as of June, the IndianHill Equestrian Club has grownto over 70 members, said Mid-dendorff, club president.

    The purpose of our group isto create new friendshipsamong adult riders and horselovers through monthly trailrides, social events and educa-tional programs.

    The group is also dedicatedto working with the village of

    IndianHill to support, maintainand preserve the 150-mile, bri-dle-trail system, Middendorffsaid.

    Kerry Daus is a village resi-dent who is chairing the IndianHill Equestrian Clubs commu-nications committee.

    Having trail-ridden in Indi-an Hill as a child and now againas an adult, I amexcited to havethe Indian Hill EquestrianClub, Daus said.

    It is a wonderful collectionof horse enthusiasts with whomI can ride, learn and socialize.

    Upcoming members-onlyevents includea trail rideSatur-day, July 13, and the clubs firstannual cookout Saturday, July

    20 both at Camargo Stables onShawnee Run Road in IndianHill.

    An Indian Hill EquestrianClubridingmembership is$25ayear and a non-riding member-ship $50 a year.

    Members do not have to livein Indian Hill, which had a rid-ing club on Blome Road nowtheGreenacres Equine Center -at which Middendorff begantaking lessons at an early age.

    Since childhood, I haveloved horses, riding and thebeauty of the trails in IndianHill, Middendorff said.

    Happily, my commercialreal estate-investment businessallows me the freedom to con-

    tinue toride the trails to thisdaywithmy sure and steadymount,Legacy Beau, a registeredquarter horse.

    The bridle trails were origi-nallydevelopedbytheCamargoHunt in the 1920s and at onetime covered over 250miles forfoxhunting, Middendorff said.

    Themajority of the remain-ing trails are located on 2,500acres of green areas owned intrust by the village.

    Although the CamargoHunt still comes to Indian Hillto hunt during their season thatruns September toMarch, theirkennels are now located in Bur-lington, Ky.,Middendorff said.

    Email englishladyrider@ya-

    hoo.com for an application formembership in the Indian HillEquestrian Club.

    Riding nembers also mustbuy an Indian Hill bridle trailpass at village administrativeoffices on Drake Road.

    Here are the officers andcommittee chairs of the IndianHill Equestrian Club:

    We were in Penn-sylvania this past week-end for the MotherEarth News Fair, whereI was a presenter. Mytopic was Bible herbsand foods for vibranthealth and longevity,and it was a well re-ceived presentationwith lots of interactionwith the participants.

    I had several differ-ent kinds of onions onhand to talk about sinceonions are mentioned inthe Book of Numbersand one of the mosthealthful veggies. Onelady mentioned thatonions planted next tocabbage make goodgarden companions,keeping both healthy.Then another personspoke up about potatoes.

    Plant them next tocorn and theyll both dogreat, he said. Strange-ly enough, thats how weplanted our onions thisyear, not having a cluethey were good for eachother. Maybe thats whythe onions we dug up forthis German potato sal-ad were so tasty. Andnext year well plant thepotatoes next to thecorn.

    Oktoberfest Germanpotato salad

    This is as close as Ican get to the recipe ofmy German mother-in-law, Clara. Easy andreally good. I used redpotatoes for this recipe.If you use baking pota-toes, which containmore starch, they willsoak up more of thedressing.

    Fluffy meringue: Ifa little bit of egg yolkgets into my whiteswhen I make meringue,and if I remove it, willthe whites still whipup?

    This is a tricky one.If theres just a teeny bitof yolk and you can getit all out, the whitesseem to beat up fine.But I would only do thatif I had no other eggs.And it may not work inall recipes. Egg whitesmust be completely

    fat-free to whip proper-ly. And the bowl youwhip them in should be,too. When in doubt, wipeout the bowl with a bit ofvinegar to remove anytraces of fat, rinse anddry. Youll get bettervolume with room tem-perature whites.
