IT’S COLLECTION TIME
Tom Powers, one of the co-owners of Paxton’s Grill inLoveland, is looking to open asimilar restaurant called SwingLine Grill at the old B&B Mowersite in Madeira. Powers is plan-ning to build a $1 million to $1.2million restaurant that willhave outdoor seating and possi-bly a roof-top patio.
Powers is asking for assis-tance from the city of Madeirain the form of tax increment fi-nancing, or TIF, for $350,000.With the TIF, the additionalfunds generated by propertytaxes on the property would gotoward improvements in thearea, instead of to the state orthe Madeira City Schools. Pow-ers plans to increase the size ofthe parking lot by 18 to 20spaces and give the land, exceptfor what his building will be on,back to the city.
Five candidates are runningfor the three seats that are upfor election on Nov. 3. Here aretheir thoughts on the TIF plan.
What are your thoughts onthe tax increment financing,or TIF, proposal with Tom Pow-ers for Swing Line Grill?
Melisa Adrien: “I’m reallyexcited about the possibility ofadding another restaurant inMadeira. I’m also excited aboutthe possibility of adding much-needed parking in our CentralBusiness District. If both ofthese goals are accomplished inone project, it will be an im-mense improvement for ourcity. While there has been somediscussion of using a TIF tofund the parking lot, I feel thatit’s my job as a council memberto fully evaluate all available,reasonable financing options sowe can make the best decisionpossible for the city.”
Brian Cordell: “I would liketo see another restaurant devel-oped in the downtown district.Our downtown district is theheart of this city and it allowsfriends and families to come to-gether as a community. Any de-velopment like this needs to bedone with the entire city in
mind. We need to ask the rightquestions. Can the schools sac-rifice the income loss? If wedon’t offer a TIF would the lotremain open? Restaurants donot make as high a margin as abank. If we don’t offer a TIF, arewe willing to see what businessmight use the space?”
Scott Gehring: “Mr. Powers’proposal for the Swing LineGrill sounds like it would be agreat addition to our Madeiracommunity. I am a strong sup-porter of strategic economicgrowth and I believe that anytime tax dollars are spent tosupport a private developmentthere should be a thorough re-view process. More informationis needed to see how Mr. Pow-er’s proposed restaurant and re-quested parking lot fits into acomprehensive plan for the re-development of the entire Ma-deira business district and de-termine if it warrants tax payersupport.”
Chris Hilberg: “The TIF thathas been presented for an in-crease in parking in the Madei-ra Historic District for land/dirtis appropriate. There is a mis-understanding circulating thatMadeira is ‘investing or fund-ing’ in a potential business, Ithink we are investing in ourHistoric District needs. By pur-chasing this land through theTIF, we are improving our park-ing limitations in the HistoricDistrict. The Madeira Schoolshave to weigh in on this TIF andit is my understanding that theyare looking to put a levy on theballot possibly as early as nextyear, so their position on this isvery pointed.”
Jim Horwitz: “I like theSwing Line Grill proposal itself.I like the restaurant coming toMadeira. I like the idea of themturning over parking to the cityto increase the available down-town parking lot capacity. TomPowers has told me he does notwant the extra land for parkingand would prefer the city buy itfrom him. He has stated to methat the appraisal price that thecity is offering him is less than

Contributions to the newMadeira High School fitnesscenter project continue com-ing.
So far the efforts of thecommittee working to raisethe funds are going great,Superintendent Steve Kra-mer said. Thanks to theirefforts, about 80 percent ofthe money needed for theproject has been raised.
The effort received a tre-mendous boost when 1968Madeira grad Larry Sheak-ley contributed $100,000 tothe project plus committedto covering the loans forthose contributions beingmade over a period of sever-al years, he said.
Sheakley said this was thefirst time he’s been ap-proached about donating to aMadeira Schools project. Hewas happy to contribute. Heand his wife, Rhonda, are bigsupporters of LighthouseYouth Services and Boys andGirls Clubs, and they are alsobig supporters of Universityof Cincinnati Athletics.
“Madeira is a small andunique community that hasalways taken great pride inits school system,” he said inan email. “Madeira schoolshave always been among thebest in Ohio because the
people of Madeira demand it,and work to make it so. Theyoung adults who choose toparticipate in athletics de-serve to have training facil-ities that are up-to-date sothey can compete on a levelplaying field.
“These projects are com-pleted with private fundingso as not to affect dollarsgoing into education. I con-sider it an honor to help out aplace where I spent so manyyears with wonderful memo-ries.”
Sheakley joins an ever-growing list of donors to thisapproximately $500,000 pro-ject. Contributions can bepaid in a lump sum or over aperiod of time. For detailsabout contributing visit atwww.mhsfitnesscenter.comor on Facebook under Madei-ra High School Fitness Cen-ter Project.
The new fitness centerwill replace the existingweight room which is a low-light, cramped space ofabout 700 square feet without-of-date-equipment thatwas created about 20 yearsago by carving out an areathat formerly belonged tothe girls’ locker room.
Plans call for the newfitness center to be ready forthe 2016-2017 school year. Itwill offer about 4,000 squarefeet including office space,
state-of-the-art equipment, aturf area for quickness andagility training, plenty ofnatural light, high ceilings,and air conditioning.
Physical well-being andfitness are important andMadeira has a high percent-age of students who partici-pate in extracurricular ath-letics, Kramer said.
“It’s important for theirtraining and their ability tocompete and participateathletically to have a facilitythat will allow them to pre-pare in an appropriate way,”he said. The space will beavailable for all students andused for physical educationclasses.
“Our school district pridesitself on providing a highquality education and ser-vices for our students,” Kra-mer said. “Our currentweight room is not a goodreflection of MadeiraSchools and what we providefor our students. Whatmakes this even more attrac-tive is this will be funded 100percent by private funds. Itemphasizes the can-do atti-tude of Madeira.”
The superintendent ex-pressed his gratitude toSheakley and the many oth-ers who are contributingtime and money to this pro-ject.

off a portion of the prop-erty so that he doesn’thave to own or manageparking. I don’t necessar-ily understand his desireto not have parking, but Ido understand that hedoesn’t benefit fromwhether the city financesthe purchase with a TIFor bond or cash.”
Do you have an over-all opinion about TIFs?
MA: “TIFs give a com-munity an opportunity tomake public improve-ments that benefit the en-tire community. I believein using the right tool forthe job, and TIFs are justone financial tool avail-able to cities to fundlarge, expensive projects.I think TIFs can be usedsuccessfully under theright conditions, whichinclude careful financialanalysis of the projectand gaining support of allthe groups whose tax rev-enues would be affected.”
BC: “A TIF is a tool andif its used in the properway, it could lead to longterm improvements andbenefits for the city. But aTIF should benefit every-one and not a single busi-ness. We have some won-derful businesses down-town that don’t receiveany assistance from tax
he is paying for the site ona square foot basis, butthat he doesn’t mind sell-ing for less than he paidbecause he prefers not toown the parking andthinks the city should ownit. He has also stated tome that he doesn’t care ifthe city pays for the por-tion of his site with cashor a bond or a TIF. TheTIF financing offers himno advantages in thisdeal. The TIF is a tool thecity can use or not use - itis not a tool that matters tohim. What is helpful tohim, is being able to sell
discounts. We should onlyuse a TIF if the council,the boards and the taxpayers are on board.
SG: “Tax increment fi-nancing was created tohelp encourage develop-ment in areas that other-wise could not be devel-oped due to a lack of re-quired infrastructure.When used properly, TIFsare a great tool for eco-nomic growth. When notused properly they candrain tax revenue fromneeded services like cityinfrastructure, mainte-nance, and our school sys-tem. Madeira must com-plete a cost benefit analy-sis to determine if this is awise use of our tax dol-lars.”
CH: ‘TIFs or tax abate-ments are creative ways asmall city like Madeiracan continue to competeand improve our townwith developers and busi-nesses. Another option in-stead of a TIF is to callthis a capital improve-ment and line item it inour budget. While thiswill cause a ripple effecton other financial needs itis a option that can be ex-plored.”
JH: “TIFs are a form ofeconomic developmentfinancing that have very
little, if any, application inMadeira. In this case, thecity wanted the schools toforgo the increased‘windfall’ tax revenues ofthe Swing Line Grill toservice the TIF. Theschools were wise enoughto see through this andshould not forgo theireconomic developmenttax revenue growth toservice the city’s proper-ty purchase needs. Fur-thermore, the B&B prop-erty as it sits today isworth about $600,000 ifnot more, yet the Hamil-ton County auditor has itvalued at less than$150,000. So, the schoolsand the city have sufferedan inadequate tax reve-nue ‘shortfall’ on thisproperty for years, butthe city fails to acknowl-edge this in their ‘wind-fall’ pitch to the schools.And the B&B property isnot alone. There are manyother undervalued prop-erties in Madeira thatdon’t pay their share ofreal estate taxes. If thecounty and schools andcity were more proactiveon these undervaluedproperties, they would allbenefit to a far greaterextent than this TIF con-templates.”

Carl Jones and ChrisKritikos are vying for theColumbia TownshipBoard of Trustees seatnow held by PresidentStephen Langenkamp,who is not seeking re-election.
Here’s a look at thecandidates and their an-swers to the followingtwo questions, for whichthey were allowed 150words per answer:
1. What are the issuesfacing Columbia Town-ship and how would youhandle them?
2. Why do you want toserve on the board oftrustees and what qualifi-cations do you have thatmake you a good choicefor trustee?
» Jones, age withheld,is a property manager.
He’s not held politicalelective office.
1. “I am the only candi-date to have attended allnotified meetings (trus-tee, fire, special) over thelast year and understandthe issues that have diffi-cult decisions to be madeby township residents. Ihave been expressing myconcern for 12 monthsabout the township web-site needing redone. This
Columbia Townshipvoters will choose a newtrustee Tuesday, Nov. 3,
should have been a priori-ty to allow better commu-nication with residentsand businesses.
“Better fiscal over-sight for better control oftownship funds, to lowertaxes and enhance ser-vices to residents andbusinesses. The round-about should be canceled,and the money used tohelp fix the flooding inMadison Place. The traf-fic mess will be evenmore enhanced with grid-lock at the five-way atMurray Avenue. So let’snot waste (est.) $500,000of Columbia Township’smoney on it.
“Discuss a better solu-tion for the Little MiamiFire District, with theloss of Newtown and the40 percent in taxes thatwill be lost.”
2. “I have the businessexperience for the chal-lenges ahead to helpmake the right decisions
for all residents and busi-nesses. I will work for allthe residents of Colum-bia Township and nothave them work for high-er taxes.(I have) 27 yearsin property manage-ment.
“If elected, I will sup-port the above issues andlisten to all other issuesthat come to the attentionof me and not be a ‘rubberstamper’.”
» Kritikos, 36, is asmall business owner andproperty manager.
He’s not held electivepolitical office.
1. “Connecting thetownship through great-er use of technology andmore efficient communi-cations. This means moretools and resources avail-able to residents so theycan share their thoughtsand ideas with townshipelected officials and pro-vide feedback quickly sothat real changes can bemade.
“Helping us prosperby evaluating all of ourservices and fostering asafe and accessible town-ship in which businessesand residents can live,work and play. I will sup-port any effort that getsthe needed services to thepeople of Columbia Town-
ship.“Lastly, we need to
grow through encourag-ing small businesses tostay in Columbia Town-ship and getting new onesto open their doors here.We are blessed to be in alocation that serves as abridge between the sub-urban and urban Cincin-nati area.”
2. “I want input on ourfuture - and our future isthe children. Being a fa-ther of two small childrenand with my experienceas a small business own-er, I believe I have theability to work diligentlyto make the tough deci-sions in the best interestof our township.
“I have collaboratedclosely with the currenttrustees and I am proudto be endorsed by eachone of them. (Hughescould not immediately bereached for comment,but Langenkamp andKubicki confirmed theyare backing Kritikos.) Iam eager to continuetheir vision and stability,but also to implement afresh plan to create thebest community possi-ble.”

also a 5.1-mill waste levyon the Nov. 3 ballot thatwould replace ColumbiaTownship’s current 3.5-mill waste levy, which ex-pires at the end of theyear.
The waste levy hasbeen at 3.5 mills since2003 and township offi-cials say they want resi-dents to renew that mill-age and approve a 1.6-millincrease for the nextthree years because theloss of state funds and thelack of township reserveswill make it difficult tomeet the rising costs ofexpenses such as garbagecollection, recycling, leafand brush pick-ups andequipment replacement.
The Hamilton CountyAuditor says the wastelevy would annually costColumbia Townshiphomeowners $178.50 per$100,000 valuation of theirhomes and generate justabove $614,000 a year forColumbia Township.

Columbia Townshipand Golf Manor havereached a tentative three-year agreement in whichthe village’s fire depart-ment will provide fire andemergency-medical ser-vices in the township’sRidge Road and HighlandAvenue area.
The Columbia Town-ship Board of Trustees hasgiven the agreement afirst reading, and town-ship Administrator MikeLemon said he plans toschedule a special meet-ing soon for a final vote.
Columbia Townshipwill pay Golf Manor$355,000 the first year,$360,000 the second yearand $370,000 the thirdyear, Lemon said.
The township’s last con-
tract with Golf Manor,Lemon said, was for$350,000 a year.
“We appreciate the ef-forts of (Golf Manor) May-or Alan Zaffiro and (GolfManor) Fire Chief JimPuthoff to work with us toreach a fair contractprice,” Lemon said.
“We are happy to havethe excellent services ofthe Golf Manor Fire De-partment continue in theRidge fire district.”
Golf Manor Council-man Ron Hirth said he ex-pects the village to vote onthe contract Oct. 26.
“Our history in work-ing together with Colum-bia Township, as indepen-dent communities, is amodel for the future sus-tainability of all smallermunicipalities acrossHamilton County,” Hirthsaid.
Negotiations betweenColumbia Township andGolf Manor hit a snag ear-lier this year when town-ship officials negotiatingwith the village said GolfManor wanted too muchmoney for a new contract.
Also, Golf Manor offi-cials said they were takenaback to learn that Colum-bia Township was explor-ing a deal with the DeerPark Silverton Joint FireDistrict.
Golf Manor has provid-ed fire services to Colum-bia Township for morethan 60 years.
In August, the Little Mi-ami Joint Fire & RescueDistrict tabled a proposalthat the Golf Manor FireDepartment join the jointfire district as a way, somesaid, to cut costs and delaythe need for another jointfire district levy.
The action followedNewtown’s announcementthat it plans to leave theLittle Miami Joint Fire &Rescue District, pending aNov. 3 vote by Newtownresidents to assess them-selves a 12.05-mill CQfireand emergency-medicalservices levy.

OCTOBER 28, 2015 • SUBURBAN LIFE • 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!)
Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator, Jungle Jim’s East-gate culinary professional and author. Find her blog atAbouteating.com. Email her at [email protected] with“Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line. Call 513-248-7130, ext. 356.
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
gelatin3 cups cold water1-1/2 quarts carbonated lemon-lime
soda, chilled
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.

A publication of
Candidates’ stances ontransparency unclear
Regarding your interviewwith Indian Hill School Boardcandidates, the public learnsvery little about theprospects for transparencyand abiding the rule of law asall three seemed to avoidrevealing their feelings onthe litigation with CRSS.
The fact that the existingboard acted illegally andcovertly is not in dispute asthe courts have ruled againstthem. Unfortunately thisslate of candidates adds little
input as to their individualposture on returning themoney owed the taxpayerswhich only makes one won-der if they aren’t quietlymulling “how can the nextboard work to do this samething...legally?”
That $38 million dollarpiggy bank the school systemsits on looms rather largeover this discussion. As ataxpayer - and voter - in Indi-an Hill, I see nothing in theirveiled responses to suggest Igive them my vote.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Pardon me if I become abit radical in this essay, but Ifear for the safety of ourentire population.
Having said that, allow mesome ideas that may lead to asolution. First, let me say thatI do not hate anyone for theirreligion, ethnicity or national-ity. In fact, I find them in-teresting. Also, they are due
proper re-spect provid-ing they re-ciprocate thecourtesy. Therecent sense-less killingsin Oregonhave becomewhat I be-lieve is abelated callto action. So,here are
some of my possible solu-tions.
In spite of the senselesscalls for gun control from theObama Dysministration, weneed an armed and qualifiedcitizenry who are free to beamong us and would be adeterrent as well as a poten-tial stop to the irrational mur-ders. The simple idea thatsomeone anywhere might foilthe plans of an attack is avalid point to allow concealedcarry for mentally and phys-ically qualified persons whowould stop or completelyavoid future repetitions ofthese acts.
I would also require thatthe nearest of kin be heldequally responsible for theseheinous acts.
Having parents or othersinvolved would cause them tobe more watchful and con-trolling of their charges. Weall love our children and wantthem to be a respected mem-ory to our lives and actions.Those who commit theseterrible crimes do not meetthis standard. Hopefully,parental involvement might
prevent some of thesecrimes. What is coming inthis essay would certainlycause parents to becomeinvolved in the actions oftheir children.
So, let’s get down to mydrastic measures to hopefullystop these atrocities. First, ifthe perpetrator is killed inthe commission of the crimethe body is taken secretly to aremote part of the ocean anddumped into the water forfish food. If the perpetratorsurvives, minimal medicaltreatment only to preservelife would be given.
Following that, a jail cellwith the least possible com-forts and food would becomehome. There would be no TV,radio or reading material,except a Bible of their choice.There would be no visitors orcreature comforts other thana bed, sink and toilet. Thenearest of kin would have noinformation of location, vis-iting rights or informationother than a notice of death ifit occurs during their lifetime. In any case the bodywould be disposed of in thesame manner as the deadperpetrator.
There seems to be a simi-lar thread running throughthese crimes and that is deni-al on the part of parents andauthorities. These drasticideas might cause more at-tention to the actions of po-tential serial killers. Willparents and authorities takeaction before a tragedyforces it? Will the grieving onboth sides happen less often?We can only hope so until abetter solution is available.
In the meantime, the pub-lic has to accept sad realitiesinstead of hopeful fantasieson gun control. The writers ofthe Second Amendment knewwhat they were doing.

Our brains, with their bil-lions of axons, dendrites, andneural connections are some-what like computers.
Together they provide anincredible opportunity to im-prove and live better lives.
Since the 1970s, I’ve effec-tively used desktops, laptops,iPhones, iPads, wristwatches,eyeglasses and smart cars. Atage 74, I must ask whether mylife has improved, what’s leftof it, and the answer is yes, butin the process, vital skills di-minished. In some ways, tech-nology became a curse thatinterferes with something weof the pre-digital age learnedearly on: to think, to analyze, tocreate new ideas and verballycommunicate our thoughts orwrite them down.
It’s no secret that our sensesare constantly bombarded withhigh-tech images and data thathave replaced verbal commun-ing with friends, neighbors,and God. Worshipping technol-ogy may well cost us our soulsand our creativity.
Can we change lives over-whelmed by high-tech digitalassault? Yes! Start by rejectingthe view that the brain is acomputer and that your lifemust be programmed and
choreographedby digital de-vices. I takethe simpleview, think ofyour brain asmore like anEnglish muffinwith billions ofnooks andcrannies. Yes,I like muffins,those filled
with the right “fixins’ and fil-lins’ will round out your life.The wrong ones lessen themeaning of life and rob thesoul.
But how do we nurturemind, body and soul? Thismethod works for me. Putaside high-tech gadgets thatkeep you from using the non-digitally enhanced senses ofsmell, touch, vision, hearingand taste. Don’t throw the de-vices away, just use them less.Write down your thoughts,make eye contact and engagepeople verbally. Take longwalks on a quiet beach at sun-set or sunrise, or ascend amountain and view one of Godsever changing landscape paint-ings. Take up sketching orpainting. Why does this work?Because God gave us hands to
create and eyes for keys andconversation as passagewaysthat nurture mind, body, andsoul. Look in the mirror andyou will see eyes that are thekey to the mind and conversa-tion with friends or strangersbecomes the passageway tothose nooks and crannieswhere memories wait to beretrieved, and to the soulwhere the final answer lies.
Eyes, skin and digital de-vices differ in color, brains andsouls do not. It’s not color thatmakes each of us different, itwhat’s stored in the nooks andcrannies that will bring each ofus closer to friends, neighbors,and God. God is the final an-swer that all of mankind hasstriven and strives to find andHe doesn’t text. To reach Him,put down you IPhone, IPad,and laptop, and remove theearplugs and listen to theworld around you.
Take care of your body withlong walks. Pray and let Godfill those nooks and crannieswith peace, understanding, andlove for family and neighbors.
Search with your eyes.Smile. Talk. Walk.

Oct. 22 questionWho-dey? How far will the
Bengals go this year?
“Super Bowl 50 champs.” D.H.
“The Bengals will go fartherthan the Reds did, but thenagain, how hard can that be?They are playing well and win-ning consistently – Yay! Now, ifthey can keep the injuries to aminimum we might just havesomething in this team. Sincethey are playing so well andselling many seats, can werenegotiate the asinine deal ourstupid city leaders agreed towith Mr. Brown? It is beyondridiculous for this city with itslevel of financial woes to have
to pay so much to keep a teamhere that gives darned nearnothing back. I want to havepride in this team and I do, butthat pride gets very muddledwhen thinking about how thor-oughly Brown takes the city tothe cleaners year after yearafter year.”
M.J.F.
“The Bengals are an excitingteam with many great playerson offense and defense. Bar-ring major injuries (like lastyear) they are playoff bound. Itwould be great if they can get afirst round bye in the playoffsalong with home field advan-tage. But the New EnglandPatriots stand in their way. Thewish here is someone canknock of New England prior tothe Bengals having to facethem in the playoffs. Thatmight just propel the Bengalsto the Super Bowl ala the 1981and 1988 seasons. Like thosetwo years the Bengals are load-ed with many class act players.Go Figure!”

MADEIRA – Three straightlosses in the second half of theseason knocked Madeira offcourse in its search for a fifthconsecutive playoff appear-ance.
On Oct. 23, the Mustangssuffered their most-lopsidedloss of the season, 38-0, at thehands of Cincinnati HillsLeague rival, Taylor.
Prior to the loss, Madeiracoach Mike Shafer was hope-ful that wins in the final twoweeks of the regular seasonwould put his team into thepostseason. But, for the firsttime since 2010, Madeira willturn its pads in following aweek 10 showdown on SeniorNight against Mariemont onOct. 30.
“I’ve been happy with theireffort,” said Shafer. “That’sthe one thing we’ve beenproud of, even though we’velost a few games, we’ve comeback the next week and playedhard.”
Three of Madeira’s fivelosses were single-digit de-feats. In a 41-28 loss to unbeat-en Indian Hill Oct. 16, the Mus-tangs scraped back from a27-7 deficit in the second half
to make it a one possessiongame.
“The one thing I’ve learnedis these kids are gonna line upand play hard every play,”Shafer said. “As a coach, that’sall you can ask.”
In the first seven weeks,the Mustangs did it with stoutdefense, allowing no morethan 21 points in a game. Sen-ior defensive captains NickGelhaus and Jake Megoishave led that side of the ball.
For the second season in arow Megois leads the CHL intackles (120). Gelhaus, listedat 6-foot-3, 280 pounds, workson multiple offensive linemanso his linebackers remain freeto fly around and make plays.
“Both those guys are seniorthree-year starters andthey’re captains,” said Shafer.“They’ve led our defense.We’ve been pretty tough to runagainst all year long and it’sstarted with those two in themiddle.”
Senior captain Nick Cedillois another important piece onboth sides of the ball. Cedillo, atrack standout who’s been onthe podium at state, can runand his speed translates to thegridiron. On defense, Cedillo’s

“Nick’s highly involved inthe gameplan,” Shafer said.“He’s definitely a playmaker;he’s been a playmaker for threeyears. He can score from any-where on the field.”
Junior running back GregCorn and sophomore quarter-back Kyle Johnson have bothfilled important roles this sea-
son. Corn’s 827 rushing yardsrank third in the CHL with 10touchdowns.
“Greg’s done a great job,”said Shafer. “He ended up beinga starter toward the end of lastyear, and he worked hard in theweight room. We’re a runningteam first, with the combinationof Kyle Johnson throwing theball … our OL has done a reallygood job, we’ve had to movesome guys around due to inju-ry.”

INDIAN HILL – Less than 24hours after a triumphant Divi-sion II state championship forthe Indian Hill High School girlstennis combo of Caroline Ander-sen and Meredith Breda, the La-dy Braves had their racquets outagain.
The perennial CincinnatiHills League champions trav-eled to Reynoldsburg Oct. 18 foranother day’s work in the OhioCoaches Tennis Associationtournament.
Running their traditional sea-son lineup out in the semifinalagainst Lexington, the LadyBraves coached by Gary Samu-els took three singles matches toadvance to the championship.Senior Caroline Andersen, ju-nior Gracey Hirsch and seniorMeredith Breda won first, sec-ond and third singles, respec-tively.
That put them against ShakerHeights Hathaway Brown, ateam they defeated two yearsago, and home of the doublesteam Andersen and Breda haddefeated just a day before.
Samuels switched the lineupto Andersen, Hirsch and MarenMcKenna at singles, with Bredaand Nina Price playing first dou-bles and Amalia Guzman and Sa-rah Price second doubles. Unfor-tunately, the team more than onecoach has termed “best in thestate” lived up to their billing.
Hathaway Brown won three
matches and the title with IndianHill taking runner-up.
“We thought we had a chancewith the way they matched uptheir lineup at second and thirdsingles and second doubles, butit didn’t go well,” Samuels said.“They were just incredible.They had their state doublesrunner-ups together at first dou-bles, which surprised me. Fiveof their players are either fresh-men or sophomores, the talent isjust so deep there.”
Making things difficult wasthe matchup of Andersenagainst the Division II singleschampion, Lauren Gillinov.Then, as Samuels described,Breda, with r Nina Price, had toface Catherine Araklett and AllyPersky, whom she played theprevious day with Andersen.
“They (Andersen and Breda)were in great spirits, just thematchups weren’t going towork,” Samuels said.
Another banner will hang offof Drake Road as the LadyBraves had six district qualifi-ers, five state qualifiers, a Divi-sion II state championship indoubles and a state runner-upplaque as a team.
Andersen, Breda and Mc-Kenna now move on, with famil-iar faces Hirsch, Nina and SarahPrice and Guzman returning.“We’ll have Julia Yingling, whowill be a junior, who was injuredthis year,” Samuels said. “We’llalso have three new freshmenand some other returning varsi-ty players.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. - With the final strokeof his high school golf career, St. Xavier seniorKirran Magowan sent the St. Xavier gallery intoan uproar when he drained a 6-foot birdie putt on18 to complete an even-par round of 72, helpingthe Bombers win their fourth Division I stategolf championship.
Magowan’s score wasn’t used on Friday, onlya team’s four lowest rounds count toward thetournament total.
“It’s kind of like a storybook finish,” said Ma-gowan. “I always kind of replayed it in my mindthat it would finish like this. Everything kind oflined up; I didn’t think I would play this well.
The Bombers won their first title since 2008Saturday on the Scarlet course at the Ohio StateUniversity Golf Club. St. X shot 616 (303-313) toedge Dublin Jerome’s 621 (316-305). Springborocame in third with 629 (313-316).
“If there was anybody on the team, if theyshot 82 on day one, that I knew in my heart couldcome back and go low, it’s Kirran,” said St. Xavi-er coach Alex Kepley. “He’s played the last partof this season so stellar … 72, that’s a dream, butI felt like he could go 75 or lower.”
Magowan led the Bombers with a 36-hole to-tal of 154, followed by senior Domenic Maricoc-chi with 155 (71-84). Junior Zachary Pavlin shot157 (77-80), and sophomores Michael Prebles(80-78) and Cameron Frazier (75-83) each shot158. Magowan said after, “It’s surreal, it’s one ofthose things … I don’t know, I’m kind of speech-less after that one.”

ProKids Court Ap-pointed Special Advocates(CASA volunteers) makethings happen behind thescenes. They advocate forabused and neglected chil-dren who are in the fostercare system and work tohelp them have perma-nent and nurturing homes.
Recently, ProKidsbrought CASA VolunteerLori Feldman center stagebefore more than 600guests at the annualFriends of ChildrenBreakfast at the CintasCenter. Telling the story ofa young mother who re-covered from her drug-addicted past to be reunit-ed with her daughter,Feldman of Green Town-ship was the face of thecommunity effort of Pro-Kids.
Board President TomCuni of Madeira, formerboard member and cur-rent CASA volunteer DickPaulsen of Hyde Park, andTD Hughes of North Bendcalled on the group to sup-port Cincinnati’s most vul-nerable children with do-nations and volunteertime.
“ProKids works,” Paul-sen said. “It works be-cause it focuses on a criti-cal need that is often over-looked in our community:abused and neglected chil-
dren need our help in or-der to have a different fu-ture.”
Cuni said he beganworking with ProKidswhen the 33-year-oldagency “showed me howto impact the lives of chil-dren who desperatelyneed help so they can havesomething as fundamen-tal as a safe place in whichto live and grow.”
Hughes, a formerboard member, said “allchildren deserve ahome… that comfortsthem and launches theminto adulthood, adults whodon’t let them down.”
ProKids Executive Di-rector Tracy Cook of Clif-ton also spoke. In her re-marks she spoke of the ba-by girls who recentlywere killed in Cincinnati.“It is painful and heart-breaking to see this tragicnews. But the truth is weare not helpless. We havepower,” she said. “Our ur-gent goal is to get the com-munity’s help to all thechildren in need. Reach-ing this vision meansbreaking a cycle of abuseand neglect that hasspanned generations andcreate a new cycle ofgrowing up safe and confi-dent.”
Clips of the stories thespeakers shared and more
details are at www.prokid-s.org.
ProKids envisions asafe, permanent and nur-turing home for everychild. As a nonprofit or-ganization in HamiltonCounty, Ohio, that mobili-zes the community bytraining and supportingvolunteers who break thevicious cycle of childabuse and neglect. Pro-Kids Court AppointedSpecial Advocates (CASAvolunteers) speak up forabused and neglected chil-
dren, guiding them to safeenvironments where theycan thrive.
For more than 30 years,ProKids has changed thearc of children's livesthrough engaged volun-teers, a proactive staffand a Committed Commu-nity. We work to create anew cycle of growing upsafe and secure, funda-mentally changing the fu-ture for children and forGreater Cincinnati. Findout more at www.prokid-s.org.
