John G. Roeder, 56, was hired Tuesday night (January 5) as the new Superintendent of the North Harrison Community Schools. The vote (5-0) by the board came quickly in a meeting that was for the purpose of hiring the new superintendent only. “This board has been looking for a strong superintendent who has been successful as a superintendent,” said board member Gary Byrne during the meeting. “He (Roeder) will be a strong leader for this school.” Byrne said that during the last year, the board had three separate searches for a new superintendent, in looking for the best possible chief. Roeder retired June 30 after nine years as the superintendent of the Sunman-Dearborn Community School Corporation, a system of 4.300 students in northern Dearborn County, in the Cincinnati area of Indiana. What drove Roeder to re-enter the education workplace was a desire to simply get involved in education again. “After six months, I knew the choice was to return,” Roeder said of returning to the field. “After taking some time off, I’d like another five years ion education.”

Borden Loses Physical Battle to Paoli

A good effort by the Borden Braves wasn't enough to overtake visiting Paoli Saturday night (Dec. 2). Borden turned in one of their better performances of the season, but the Rams used their strength and experience to obtain the 54-41 victory. The Braves started the game by using their height advantage to take a slim lead on the battle of the boards. Both teams handled the ball fairly well with each having only three turnovers through the half. Borden played an effective zone defense most of the half. Paoli did have success shooting over the zone. What eventually gave Paoli a three-point half-time lead was their shot selection and good shooting percentage. Borden out rebounded Paoli eleven to three on Paoli’s end of the court. This helped minimize Paoli’s second shot opportunities but they shot well enough they didn’t need them to hold the lead at half 29-26.
