GREEN TWP. — Two more res-taurants are coming to the Har-rison Avenue corridor.

Starbucks and Chipotle Mex-ican Grill plan to open new loca-tions in a retail building underconstruction at the intersectionof Harrison Avenue and Blues-ky Drive.

Adam Goetzman, GreenTownship’s assistant adminis-trator and director of planningand development, said the pro-ject is being developed byNorthern Kentucky-basedBrandicorp.

He said the roughly 8,000-square-feet development willconsist of a three-tenant build-ing housing Starbucks, Chipotleand a Sport Clips haircut salon.

“It is anticipated to open

sometime this summer,” hesaid.

“This does add the opportu-nity for the fast-casual diningoption. It will be a nice comple-ment to the Harrison Greenedevelopment.”

Harrison Greene, being builtnear the intersection of Harri-son Avenue and WestwoodNorthern Boulevard, will fea-ture Dewey’s Pizza, Graeter’s,First Watch café and Tom +Chee restaurants. The HarrisonGreene restaurants are expect-ed to open in early May.

The access driveway to theStarbucks and Chipotle will beon Northcrest Lane, which runsparallel to Harrison Avenue offof Bluesky Drive, Goetzmansaid.

The Starbucks store willhave a drive-through windowand will look to capture the

morning peak of customersheading toward the freeway, hesaid. Chipotle will offer insidedining, as well as outside diningon a small patio, and he said therestaurant will serve the lunchand dinner crowds consisting ofarea residents and employeesfrom nearby businesses andmedical facilities.

Goetzman said the Starbuckswill be the coffee company’sfirst stand-alone store in thetownship. The only other Star-bucks locations in the townshipare coffee shops inside theMeijer store on Harrison Ave-nue and the Kroger store onNorth Bend Road.

He said the development willbe a brick building with tradi-tional storefront architecturaldetails.

“We anticipate a quality exte-rior,” he said.

Ready for your close-up?Later this year, you might

want to smile if you interactwith a Colerain Township po-lice officer, because you willlikely be going straight tovideo.

The township received a$5,000 Edward Byrne Memo-rial Justice Assistance Grantto buy body cameras to beworn by officers on every beatin the township, and policehope to get officers outfittedand the cameras on the road assoon as possible.

Colerain Township PoliceLt. Jennifer Sharp wrote thegrant, leaning heavily on thebenefit the cameras would bein domestic violence cases.

“The police departmentand prosecutor depend on thevictim’s testimony to convictthe defendant. The low rate ofprosecution comes from theattempt to try a case withoutthat testimony,” her applica-tion said. “The use of a bodycamera, can however, docu-ment the scene, the injuries,and the statements made onscene, that can convict the de-fendant.”

She said since convictionscan end the cycle of domesticviolence, body cameras on po-lice officers are imperativefor evidence-based prosecu-tion.

“What the cameras recordcan help us bring these casesto course,” she said. “It cap-tures everything, includingexactly what was said, thetone, the demeanor of the peo-ple involved; you don’t have totell, you can show.”

Sharp said the cameras willbe attached to an officer’sshirt or jacket, and recordswhat the officer sees andhears. The expectation is thatthe camera will always be on.“We are working to establishpolicies and procedures now,”she said.

The Colerain TownshipFamily Justice Center, a one-stop shop for victims of do-mestic violence, provides con-nections to all the agenciesneeded to assist victims of do-mestic violence in one loca-tion.

Even with the implementa-tion of the center in August of2013, Sharp said the rate of dis-

missal is “extraordinarilyhigh.”

In 2013, Colerain Townshippolice officers responded to251 domestic violence callsand 82 percent of the caseswere dismissed or a lessercharge of disorderly conductwas sentenced. In 2013 in

HamiltonCounty, Ohio,out of 1,376filed domesticviolencecharges, Sharpsaid 1,075 weredismissed, adismissal rateof 78 percent.She expects the

2014 numbers to be higher.It’s frustrating and it costs

money, too. In 2013, Sharp saidmore than 1,000 hours werespent in court for domestic vi-olence cases. It took an aver-age of five court appearancesper officer and cost more than$35,000.

Sharp says she hopes thecameras can lower the num-ber of hours Colerain policeofficers spend in court for do-mestic violence cases for byproviding video evidence. Thevideo evidence provided bythe officer will be available atthe first court setting cancould lessen the incidences ofcontinuing a court case due tothe victim not being present atthe first court setting.

She is hoping to see an in-crease in the prosecution ratewith the use of the evidenceprovided by the use of bodycameras on police officers andsee a lower dismissal rate fordomestic violence cases by ob-taining statements that reflectemotion. “Video can give theexact aftermath of a domesticincident that photographs can-not,” Sharp said.

She said a Bell County, Tex-as police department saw adramatic drop in the rate ofcases dismissed with the useof the body camera evidence.“That’s what we are hoping tosee.”

Colerain Township PoliceSgt. Dale Woods says the de-partment field tested four dif-ferent body-worn camerasand is finalizing selection. Hesaid the department looked atfield of vision as well as videoand sound quality and how the

Colerain Twp.police to start usingbody camerasJennie [email protected]

camera performs in low-light situations.

Colerain Township Po-lice Chief Mark Denneysaid he likes the idea ofcameras that give a viewof what the officer actual-ly sees rather than thestatic dashboard cameraswith restricted views. Thedepartment looked atcameras embedded ineyeglasses, but said theyimpeded peripheral vi-sion.

The chief said while

the grant was written withan emphasis on domesticviolence, he thinks thecameras will serve manypurposes. “I think her ar-gument is powerful andshows a need on the do-mestic violence front.

“This makes perfectsense for us,” Denneysaid. “And I have noqualms about my officersbeing videotaped. We hiregood people, they arewell-trained and profes-sional, and we expectthem to do the right thingevery day. This can onlyhelp what we do.”

MARCH 25, 2015 • NORTHWEST PRESS • A3NEWS

Five years ago, Melissa Ur-bisci, a bright, beautiful youngwoman, woke to meet the daynot knowing it would be her last.

The 22-year-old, described asa combination of old soul and ju-bilant youth, had recently com-pleted the nursing program atCincinnati State Technical andCommunity College and disas-ter training with the Red Cross.

She aspired to work in ThirdWorld countries. Her love fornature and her peaceful demea-nor had earned her the nick-name “Italian hippie.”

She would, however, neveraccomplish those dreams. Herlife would be cut short that af-ternoon in a traffic accident atHarrison Avenue and RyboltRoad in Green Township.

That could have been the endto Melissa’s story, but insteadher father, Michael Urbisci, hasdoggedly fought for change atthe intersection – which over re-cent years has had the worstrate of accidents of any in sub-urban Hamilton County, ac-cording to an analysis run lastyear by The Enquirer.

It took five years, butchanges have now been made atthe intersection.

“The day (the change) hap-pened, I was elated,” MichaelUrbisci said. “I felt like I wonthe lottery but I won zero; I lostit all. It shows however, that ifyou work with people, and keeppersisting, a person is able tomake changes.”

Signal now protects left-hand turns

On March 8, 2010, MelissaUrbisci was riding in the pas-senger seat.

Her brother Alessandro wasdriving. The two were veryclose and had just signed a leaseon an apartment together, when

Alessandro turned left onto Ry-bolt from Harrison and a pickuptruck collided with the siblings’car.

Both of the Urbiscis were in-jured. Melissa was flown to Uni-versity of Cincinnati MedicalCenter but died while undergo-ing surgery.

In his grief and bewilder-ment, their father eventuallybegan reviewing crash data anddiscovered the high accidentrate at the crossing.

He started pushing local poli-ticians, the Hamilton CountyEngineer’s Office and the OhioDepartment of Transportationto consider changes.

“Was the yellow light tooshort?” Urbisci asked. “Is 40mph an appropriate speed lim-it?”

Officials told him the inter-section had been reconfiguredjust a year before, in 2009, andthere wasn’t enough crash datato demand change.

But Urbisci kept up the pres-sure, and after Thomas Brooks,28, died in a left-turn crash lastFebruary, he and Brooks’ par-ents pressed harder, circulating

a petition.The Hamilton County Engi-

neer’s Office took a harder lookand their review showed a“grossly imbalanced” crashrate, according to County Engi-neer Ted Hubbard.

Of the 73 accidents reportedat Harrison and New Ryboltover a three-year period, 22 ofthem were between a car turn-ing left and a vehicle approach-ing from the opposite direction– 19 of the 22 occurred in oneparticular lane.

The engineer’s office andODOT then hired a consultant toconduct a review of the signaltimings.

If you’ve driven through re-cently, you may have noticedthe orange “Signal OperationChanged” sign hanging next tothe traffic light.

Now oncoming traffic has ared light when left-hand turnsare being made from either di-rection, in an effort to protectmotorists. Timers have beenadded at the crosswalks.

The consultant who has beenobserving the study area is de-veloping the final report but thealteration has created some un-wanted traffic back-ups, Hub-bard said.

“That’s exactly what wewere worried about,” he said,“so we still have some work todo to fine-tune the timing.”

For father, solution is ‘bittersweet’

As Michael Urbisci and hisfamily endured the anniversaryof Melissa’s death on Sunday, hesaid the pain of losing her hasnever subsided – even after all

that he’s done since.“I’m proud of what I’ve been

able to accomplish,” MichaelUrbisci said. “But it doesn’t doanything for me but make meproud of my daughter and Tom-my, who lost their lives. It’s bit-tersweet.”

On March 8, Melissa’s lovedones held onto memories of her,a beautiful soul who always car-ried a camera and enjoyed timewith her extended family atweekly dinners at her grand-mother’s house in West ChesterTownship.

They’ll remember her danc-ing, enthusiastically teachingJazzercise and always wearinga smile.

Her crash-site memorialreads: “Still Dancing.”

Six local middle-school boyswill compete against studentsfrom as far away as Japan, In-dia, the Netherlands, Chile,Australia and around the worldthis spring, racing their robotfor top honors at a Universityof Arkansas-sponsored tourna-ment.

“I think it will be an interest-ing time, meeting other teamsfrom all around the world andlearning what they’re doing.We’ve all been working on thesame playing field all season,and there are so many ways toachieve points. I can’t wait tosee what other ideas are outthere, and I’m expecting it to bea great learning experience,”said team member Aidan Mon-celle.

FIRST LEGO League (FLL)teams are required to build anautonomous robot using LEGObrand robotic kits MindstormNXT or EV3 and program therobots to complete tasks on astandardized playing field. Inaddition to the robotic compo-nent, students must complete a“project,” which requires themto identify real world prob-lems, research solutions andpresent their innovations in aclear and articulate presenta-tion.

Teams are encouraged toreach out to members of theprofessional world and partnerwith adults in mentoring rela-tionships, while still workingindependently. Teamwork isvalued highly, as is innovationand creativity.

“FIRST competitions are agreat way to engage students inSTEM (science, technology, en-gineering, math) activities,”said coach Kerry Marsh. “ButFLL requires so much more ofthe kids. They have to think like

engineers, interact like profes-sionals and know their stuffwell enough to answer anyquestion a judge can throw atthem.”

LEGO Legion, whose mem-bers are all home-schooled andrange in age from 11-14, re-ceived the international tour-nament invitation as a result oftheir performance at the OhioState Tournament in January.The team won the Third PlaceChampion’s Award for overallperformance in robot design,project presentation and team-work. In addition, their robotachieved the team’s all-timehigh score on the field, achiev-ing second place in the robotcompetition.

”We worked really hard to-gether, and spent a lot of timeand effort. This year’s roboticchallenge board was very tight,so it was tough to get our robotcompact enough to get throughsmall spaces. Our program-ming had to be very precise andexact. Winning at state wasreally rewarding, and we’rereally looking forward to see-ing how we stack up against in-ternational teams,“ said teammember John Lanning.

This year, the team’s innova-tion project focused on helpingchildren and teens learn to cre-ate or break habits. The stu-dents interviewed and workedclosely with multiple profes-sionals in the fields of electri-cal and industrial engineering,and software design. They usedsocial media to survey over 50professionals in fields like psy-chology and counseling, learn-ing about how children develophabits.

McAuley High SchoolFor the sixth time, McAuley

High School was the site of afestive luau to raise money forMake-A-Wish, an organizationwhich grants the wishes of chil-dren with life-threatening med-ical conditions.

In the United States and itsterritories, a wish is granted, onaverage, every 38 minutes.Over the years, the McAuleyKey Club has helped grant thesewishes by holding a region-wideluau.

All high school studentswere welcome to attend.

This year, over 300 teensfrom 23 different high schoolscame together to help grant thewish of a little girl, Jamie.

Together they raised over$4000 to donate to Make-A-Wish, through ticket sales, trin-

ket sales, and donations. ■ Students in McAuley High

School physics classes went tothe Ringling Brothers and Bar-num & Bailey Circus with theirteacher, Lisa Nissen.

Before the circus began, theyoung ladies were able to go on-to the floor and see some of theperformers, human and animalalike, up close.

Then they had a wonderfultime watching the acrobats, mo-torcycles, trapeze artists, ani-mals, and the clowns, lookingfor forces which were apparentin the various circus acts.

Each student had to chooseher favorite circus act and con-struct a diagram showing theforces acting on the perform-ers.

MARCH 25, 2015 • NORTHWEST PRESS • A7NEWS

I know I “jumped the gun” when Icleared out the end of the garden nearthe elderberries and mulch pile tocreate a space for my cold frame.

Well, it wasn’t entirely my fault.The weather was sunny and over 60degrees and I was just itching to startplanting.

We lugged the railroad ties over tomake a rectangle, filled it with loamysoil and mulch and sowed rows ofearly veggies and greens: radishes,lettuces, beets and carrots.

I put a clear plastic shield over it to keepin warmth and I could just see in my mind’seye a few weeks down the road, pickinggreens and pulling radishes.

Of course, Mother Nature had thelast laugh when the temperaturedipped below freezing the next fewnights. But I’m undeterred.

I’m still thinking about a bountifulspring harvest, but not in a fewweeks.

Meanwhile, we have Passover andEaster to think about, so here’s twogood recipes for both.

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educa-tor, Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinary profession-

al and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com. Email her at [email protected] with“Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line. Call 513-248-7130,ext. 356.

Brisket, ham for Passover, EasterMy best Passover brisket

The ingredients here are commonly used for preparing brisket. Thetechnique is what’s important. Brisket needs long, slow cooking to becometender when you roast it in the oven or on top of the stove. Brisket some-times comes in large quantities. I had the butcher at Jungle Jims cut a largeone in half for me as the eight-pound roast in the meat department was justtoo big. So don’t be shy about asking if the roast you see is too big. Wonder-ful for Passover or if you want a tummy-filling, good tasting, easy roast

1 brisket, trimmed of fat - mine was 3 pounds1 bottle, 12 oz. chili sauce1 pouch dry onion soup mix1 can regular Coke, 12 oz.

Preheat oven to 350. Place brisket in oven proof pot with lid. Mixsauce, soup and coke together and pour over brisket. Roast, covered, for 1hour, then turn temperature down to 250 and roast, covered, for 4-5 hours.Four hours will give a tender roast which slices easily. Five hours will giveyou a meltingly tender, fall apart roast and to me, this is the best one so ifyou can spare 5 hours, do it.

You can skim fat off top and slice meat and serve with gravy rightaway or cool to room temperature in the pan and put the whole thing inthe frig several hours or overnight. The fat will congeal to the top and youcan lift it off. Reheat roast with the gravy. You can slice it against the grainso it won’t be stringy before reheating or reheat it unsliced and slice itafterwards.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenFor a 5- to 8-pound roast, double the gravy ingredients.

Sean T., a Cleves reader, shares this recipe. He found it in a food maga-zine and tested it out ahead of time for Easter. “I like the spiral ham butwanted to make a simple, not too spicy, homemade glaze for it and I likethis one”, he told me. This is enough for an 8- to 10-pound ham.

Boil at a gentle boil together for about 5 minutes:

3 cups honey1 tablespoon cinnamon1 tablespoon whole cloves3 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven to 325. Place ham on baking sheet and brush half thehoney mixture over and in between slices. Do this often with rest of mixtureuntil ham is crisp around the edges and reaches an internal temperature of120. This takes about an hour or so, Sean said.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: A citrus touchHow about stirring in a cup or so of orange marmalade to the honey

mixture? Sounds good to me, so let me know if you do this and how youlike it.

In February, the unemploy-ment rate in the U.S. droppedto 5.5 percent. That’s goodnews, and let’s hope unemploy-ment keeps improving in thefuture.

The bad news is that theunemployment number doesn’ttake into account the hugenumber of people who havebeen so discouraged in theirjob hunt that they’ve stoppedlooking. It counts people whoare working part-time just asmuch as if they were workingfull-time. People who are un-der-employed – let’s say theyhave a master’s degree, can’tfind anything in their field, andare flipping burgers at a fastfood outlet (it happens) – arecounted as if they were fullyemployed.

So the unemployment num-

ber doesn’tnecessarilytell the wholestory.

Fortunately,there are nu-merous stepswe can take tohelp grow jobsin today’seconomy. Be-cause 70 per-cent of new

jobs in this country are createdby small businesses, theyshould be the focus of our ef-forts. As chairman of theHouse Small Business Commit-tee, I think there are four areaswhere improvement couldmean considerable job growth.

First, government regula-tions. Congress and the federalbureaucracy are constantly

bombarding small businesseswith new rules, regulations,and red tape. Rather than fo-cus attention on what it is theydo, small business ownersspend too much time fightingoff the government. We shouldstop overregulating.

Second, taxes are too high,and too complicated.

If I were king, I would doone of two things relative totaxes. I’d either throw out ourexisting federal tax code, andreplace it with a flat tax, or atleast a flatter, simpler taxcode.

Or I’d get rid of the IRS andfederal income taxes altogeth-er, and replace them with anational sales tax.

However, I’m not king, sothe likelihood of either happen-ing anytime in the near future

is pretty slim. So what should we do rela-

tive to taxes? Reform the taxcode; simplify it; broaden thebase and lower the rates. Con-gress should announce anychanges in tax laws earlyenough for small businessesand individuals to plan ahead;not do things at the last minute,as usually occurs.

Third, improve access tocapital. In order to expand,purchase new equipment, orsometimes even meet payroll,small businesses often have toborrow money. Getting a loanthrough the Small BusinessAdministration can be a pa-perwork-heavy nightmare.Passage of legislation knownas Dodd-Frank during the firstterm of the Obama presidency(when Democrats controlled

Congress) has added additionallayers of bureaucracy to thelending process in this country.Dodd-Frank should be re-pealed, and the SBA lendingprograms should be stream-lined.

Fourth, improve trade op-portunities for American smallbusinesses. 96 percent of con-sumers around the globe re-side outside the borders of theUnited States. Yet only 1 per-cent of small businesses selltheir goods or services abroad.Even a slight improvement inthis area could result in hugenumbers of American jobsbeing created.

So we’ve got our work cutout for us. Let’s get started.

March 18 questionWhat are your predictions for

March Madness - the NCAA Tour-nament? In how many bracketpools will you participate?

“My prediction is that Ken-tucky is going to win it all.Bench depth is so important inthe tournament since you neverknow when you’ll have one ofthe starters get into foul trou-ble.

“With Kentucky that doesn’tmatter since their bench play-ers are probably just a slightpercentage dropoff in abilityfrom the starters. No otherteam in the tournament hassuch talent and depth that cancome off the bench and not havethe team miss a beat.

“I’ll probably enter twobrackets, one a friend of mine isrunning and another from work.It won’t really matter since byThursday late PM, I will alreadyhave lines drawn through myselections, on my way to anoth-er disappointing failure atbracket perfection.”

“Zero.”D.H.

“I’m just sad that the BlueJackets won’t be facing offagainst Ottawa this year. Neverheard the Stanley Cup calledMarch Madness. Where did thatterm originate?”

D.B.

“My prediction for MarchMadness is Michigan State forthe whole enchilada. However,since they failed to make thebracket, I may possibly need toreconsider. UK is the presump-tive star and I can support them.I am only in one pool at work andthat is aimed at giving most ofthe proceeds to charity. The one

thing March Madness alwaysstirs up for me is the questionthat if NCAA basketball can doan all-inclusive tournamentleading to a true and real nation-al champion, why can’t they dothe same thing for NCAA foot-ball?”

M.J.F.

“I’m a big Xavier Universityfan, but am realistic to knowthat their chances are not verygood in winning a national title,however my No. 2 team, theUniversity of Wisconsin Bad-gers, have a legitimate chanceof cutting down the nets afterthe final game.

“Everyone is picking theUniversity of Kentucky Wild-cats and for good reason, how-ever, UW gave them a run fortheir money in last year’s semi-finals and I think with an extrayear behind them and the waythe style they play, they couldknock off the mighty Wildcats.

“In summary, maybe myheart is giving way to commonlogic, but I’m going to stick tomy prediction and hopefully BoRyan will finally get that elu-sive first NCAA Division I bas-ketball title!

“Go X!!!!!! and on Wiscon-sin!!!!!!”

Throughout the history ofhuman civilization, institu-tional religion has a way ofperpetuating its values, litur-gies and ultimately, control ofthe faithful.

Normally, the utterancesof God are thought to be castin stone, not intended to bechanged in any phrase, word,vowel or punctuation mark (ifone was present).

However, history alsorecords that institutionalreligion can change. Thereare many examples of this,but for brevity, I will illus-trate change through thehistory of the Christianchurch. Christianity is a reli-gion that arose out of Judaismduring a time when the Sec-ond Temple was still standingin Jerusalem , just a genera-tion before the temple thatHerod built was destroyedduring the Jewish-RomanWars.

Over time, the Christiangospel found its way intoEurope through Rome. Therein 313 CE, the Emperor Con-stantine I legalized Christian-ity and rather quickly, Chris-tianity become the dominantreligion of the empire. In-deed, the purple mantleadorned both church and

state. After the

demise of thelast Romanemperor, theChurchstyled itselfthe protectorof the Scrip-ture and ofWestern civi-lization.

Great churchmen, first withmiter, cross, and holy book,and then with shield, swordand lance, defended therealm against the unscriptedtribes on the fringes of thecontinent.

Yet another Scripture, theQuran, was revealed throughMohammad as the last proph-et of Allah who is also God ofAbraham. With this reforma-tion and expansion of Islamwestward across a part of theMediterranean world, con-flict dragged out into 200-year Crusade for the HolyLand and Jerusalem in partic-ular.

The Christian church ex-perienced reformation with-in, first with the split betweenthe Eastern and Westerninstitutions. As new thinkingin Europe developed into theEnlightenment, the rise of

Protestant Christianity, pre-cipitated a bloody strugglewhich climaxed in the ThirtyYears War. After nearly aquarter of the population ofnorth central Europe per-ished by sword, famine andpestilence, the war was endedwith the Peace of Westphaliaby which the newly emergednation-states of Europe re-solved not to go to war in thename of religion, but reserv-ing unto themselves raisond’être.

Major wars continued toplague humanity with evermore destructive weapons -rifles, machine guns, artil-lery, tanks and finally nucleararms. With new knowledge ofand dominion over the phys-ical world, human beingshave become godlike withpower to destroy the earth.

At this juncture, theworld’s institutional religionsmust play the role of protect-ing human existence by beat-ing swords into plowsharesand never be used as a pre-text or excuse to wage war.

NORTHWESTPRESSEditor: Melanie Laughman, [email protected], 513-248-7573

There’s a nice mix of youthand experience at La Salle thisseason and the Lancers are hop-ing that talent comes togetherto spell trouble for opponents.

Seven starters return fromlast year’s 12-13 team that wonjust two conference games inthe Greater Catholic LeagueSouth.

Leading the Lancers thisyear will be seniors Nick Ernst,Nigel Williams, Anthony Belland Eric Greene; all of whomwere second team All-GCL lastseason.

Ernst, signed with MiamiUniversity, was 2-1 with a 3.00ERA and a team-high 32 strike-outs in 32 innings pitched. Wil-liams is signed with Lake ErieCollege. Bell led the team inRBI (21) and stolen bases (sev-en) with a .289 average. Greenehit .320 with 11 RBI. Also keepan eye on junior infielder TimCasey, whom La Salle coach JoeVoegele said will be a key defen-sive player this season.

Voegele added that this LaSalle team has the potential tobe a very good offensive teamand he likes the mix of youngerand older guys.

La Salle opens its season onthe road at Milford at noonMarch 28.

Like La Salle, Colerain isloaded with experience comingback from an average team ayear ago. If that experienceplays well the Cardinals couldbe formidable this season.

Colerain boasts six returningstarters from a 12-16 team lastyear. Leading the way is seniormiddle infielder Genesis Hil-lard, who was first-team All-GMC and All-Enquirer last sea-son after hitting .443 with 25RBI and 13 doubles. Anotherseason like that and Hillard maysurpass 100 career hits.

“We have a lot of experiencereturning. Last year we onlygraduated four seniors and weplayed many sophomores whogained valuable experience,”first-year Colerain coach JustinYeary pointed out.

Other returning starters aresenior catcher/outfielder JacobMurray who was first team All-GMC at .386 and a team-high 30RBI along with senior first/third baseman Spencer Hennwho hit .385 with 21 RBI lastyear. Also back are juniors CoryHeffron and Jacob Allen. Hef-fron, a catcher/outfielder hit.372 last season and Allen is theteam’s returning No. 1 pitcher.Allen posted a 2.89 ERA last sea-son with 28 strikeouts in 26 in-nings pitched.

“We ended the (last) seasonwinning nine of 13, includingour first tournament gamesince 2010,” noted Yeary. “Thisgroup is hungry to continue tomove the program in the rightdirection.”

Colerain opens play hostingBishop Brossart (Ky.) at 3 p.m.March 28.

Northwest is under the di-rection of a new head coach inChris Mahon this season.

Having a first-year coachcan be a mixed bag, but Mahonand his team think this seasoncould be the start of somethinggood.

“I coach with the footballteam (under brother Nate) andthe guys on this team have tak-en over that hard-nosed mental-ity,” Mahon said. “We’re goingto be a very disciplined teamand are going to surprise somepeople by contending for aSWOC title.”

The Knights will look to thelikes of returning players Bry-an Ross, Nate Bender, BrandonShelton, Sam Enderle, DJ Gran-ville and Antonio Miller to getthem where they want to go.

Enderle was top 10 in the con-ference in ERA with a 1.74 andtouted a 4-1 record in 10 games.He was a second-team all-Southwest Ohio Conferenceperformer last season.

Ross, Bender and Sheltonwill anchor the infield andGranville will be behind thedish.

“Granville has the potentialto be one of the best catchers inthe SWOC,” Mahon said.

Mahon is really high on thecharacter of his team and be-lieves that it has great chemis-

try even with this being his firstseason at the helm.

“This is the type of groupthat could leave a legacy,” hesaid. “I think we’ll do very wellthis season.”

Last year, Roger Bacon tookits lumps. This year, they’rehoping those lumps turn intowins. The Spartans went 7-16last season (2-11 in the GreaterCatholic League Coed CentralDivision) without any seniors.This season, they have all start-ers back and six seniors leadingthe way.

“Last year we were so youngwe didn’t have a senior so it tooka little bit, and (we had fresh-man, mostly sophomores) play-ing,” ninth-year Roger Baconcoach Tim McCoy said. “Goinginto games against other teamswe were so undersized; welooked like a JV team last yearphysically.”

Four Spartans really standout from last year to this year.Senior ace pitcher Chris Hone-brink is a four-year varsityplayer. Senior outfielder KevinSchnedl, another four-year var-sity player, led the Spartans inRBI (15) last season. Junior in-fielder Alex Speed returns; hit.288 with 19 hits and seven RBIlast season. Sophomore pitcher/first baseman Jeordan Kudererled the team last year as a fresh-man in average (.354) and hits(23) with 11 RBI.

“(These) guys have grownup; we hit the weight room real-ly hard in the fall,” McCoy said.“This is by far the most talentedteam I’ve had here, that’s just onpaper so we’ll see.”

McCoy said he’d like to seemore consistent hitting. Lastyear his Spartans didn’t executewith runners in scoring posi-tion.

“That will be huge this year.We don’t have any 10 home-runguys, we manufacture runs; get‘em on, get ‘em over and hope-fully get ‘em in,” McCoy said.

Roger Bacon hosts ReadingMarch 31 in its season opener at5 p.m.

After a middle-of-the-rowseason a year ago (went 13-13),St. Xavier High School hopesits six returning starters andnew faces can improve uponthat record this baseball season.

Back are seniors SpencerHelwig, Eric Jaun, Nate Win-ning and A.J. Getter as well asjuniors Noah Mehrle and J.P.Bitzenhofer. Getter, a seniorpitcher who threw 37 inningslast year with 20 strikeouts, islikely the staff’s ace, accordingto second-year coach Bob Sher-lock. Senior pitcher John Klarewill be a key reliever. Sherlock

said he’s the type of guy youwant available to throw everynight if necessary.

Winning, a senior pitcher andfirst baseman, was the team’sthree-hole hitter for much oflast year and he compiled a .383average with 18 hits in 47 plateappearances. Jaun, who’s mov-ing from shortstop to centerfield , led the Bombers last sea-son in at bats (77) and hits (28)while hitting .364 with 10 RBI.

“They come to play everyday,” Sherlock described histeam. “They’ve had a great off-season; they’re enthusiastic,passionate and really enjoy oneanother as teammates.”

Sherlock said now it’s a mat-ter of gaining experience andproducing in the Greater Catho-lic League South. The questionscome at the plate for the Bomb-ers.

“We’ve got some guys thatcan swing the bat pretty well,but some of those guys areyounger,” Sherlock said. “We’regonna face some pretty good

competition this year, literallyone of the toughest schedules inOhio. Defensively, I think wecan play with anybody. Offen-sively, it remains to be seen.”

The Bombers open at homewith Badin at noon March 28.

Mount Healthy enters thisseason with hopes of cleansingits palette from last year’s 0-19finish.

The Owls scored 18 runsagainst the 194 they surren-dered during 14 conferencegames last year. Head coachMatt Morris is looking to pickup some wins this season.

“Our big thing is to gain re-spect in the conference,” thecoach said. “We don’t want to beknown as the team that’s just go-ing to finish at the bottom of theSWOC every year.”

Morris is looking for contri-butions from three-year start-ing catcher Kevin Spahr, pitch-er Anthony Curtis and sopho-mores C.J. Rhodes and TyreeRoberson.

The first two seasons of Hay-ley Curtis’ softball career atColerain High School weregreat.

Last year, her junior season,was forgettable. The Cardinalswent 4-20; 4-13 in the ultra com-petitive Greater Miami Confer-ence. Curtis, a senior shortstop,and the Cardinals are workingon a return to old form.

Colerain has five returningstarters in Curtis, junior thirdbaseman Angel Ehrenschwend-er, sophomore pitcher BrittanySmith, junior first basemanTaylor Brown and junior secondbaseman Aubree Hacker. Keepan eye on senior ourfielder Nia-ra Jones, who looks to slide intoa more prominent role this sea-son.

Curtis led the team in justabout every offensive categorylast season; a .373 average, hits(22), runs (12), doubles (nine),home runs (three) and RBI (13).Ehrenschwender hit .308 andSmith hit .333. Smith, whoshared pitching duties last sea-son, finished 3-6 with 19 strike-outs in 42 innings and a 6.33ERA.

Fourth-year Colerain coachSarah Billstrom said she likesthat her team is younger, “Withvarsity experience under theirbelts.”

Colerain’s season starts onthe road at Princeton March 30.

Northwest finished last sea-son with an 11-11 record andgave up one more run than itscored. They finished 5-9 in theconference.

The Knights have to replacecatcher Alyssa Faust, but have afew candidates in senior short-stop Toni Mayne, Alli Stamper,Jaycie Russell and Kylie Hiserthat might be able to do justthat.

Mayne was a second teamall-SWOC performer and wassecond to Faust in most majoroffensive categories.

Ultimately, head coach Deb-bie Fields said, this team wants

to compete for a SWOC champi-onship.

“Some of these girls cameinto the program when we weredown, they are turning it aroundand we are starting to win 11-13games a year,” the coach said.“Some played on the volleyballand got a taste of what its like towin a SWOC title.

“They want to experience

that again.”In the circle, Fields is curi-

ous to see what freshman hurlerAlaina Maddy can do.

“She can throw in the 60s forus and should pick up somewins,” Fields said.

Fields also wants this team tobe sound defensively, adding ifthis team wasn’t among the toptwo in the conference that cate-gory, she “let this team down.”

McAuley High School wouldvery much like to regain the topspot in the Girls Greater Catho-lic League this softball season. -a title the Mohawks haven’t heldsince 2012.

Last season, McAuley fin-ished second in the GGCL race(8-2 in those games) and fin-ished the season 11-9. Improve-ment is certainly plausible look-ing at McAuley’s roster.

Nine starters return who allcontributed greatly in some re-gard, led by three seniors: In-fielder Morgan Wells, firstbaseman Kenzie Anderson andinfielder Megan Rutz. Wells ledthe team last season at the platehitting .500 with 27 hits; Rutz at.333 and Anderson at .302.

The underclassmen areequally impressive. Juniors Au-brey Brunst and Ava Lawsonare both highly regarded col-

lege prospects. Brunst, the ev-eryday pitcher, was 11-8 with 117strikeouts and a 1.65 ERA lastseason on the hill; at bat, Brunsthit .274 with 12 RBI. Lawson, anoutfielder, does some slugging;last season she hit .369 and ledthe team with 15 RBI.

“They’re focused on winning– they have their eyes set onwinning the league and playingas a team,” said Karen Wies-man, who’s in her 13th seasoncoaching McAuley. “We will besolid at the plate and strong ondefense. Having Aubrey(Brunst) back for her third sea-son as starting pitcher gives usan edge (helping us stay in ev-ery game).”

Other returning starters aresophomores in shortstop Brit-ney Bonno, Meghan Gabriel,Kathryn Rost and infielder JadaThompson.

The Mohawks’ season startswith a doubleheader against Ed-gewood/Milford at MilfordMarch 28.

There are eight returningstarters at Roger Bacon thisyear. The Spartans are comingoff a 12-11season and the hope iscontinued improvement acrossthe board.

Back for Bacon: Senior sec-ond baseman Lexy Hoffman, ju-

nior pitcher Ashton Lindner, ju-nior catcher Brittany Jerger, ju-nior center fielder MirandaGullette, junior shortstop MacyBierman, senior first basemanLyndie Mesina, sohpomorethird baseman and junior rightfielder Katie Perry.

Hoffman, a four-year varsitystarter, hit .343 last season with14 RBI. Lindner, who was firstteam All-GCL last season, ledthe team with a .479 average, 34hits and 33 RBI; on the mound,she was 11-11with 185 strikeoutsand a 3.08 ERA. Jerger, alsofirst team All-GCL, hit .333 witha team-high 26 runs and 19 sto-len bases.

“We’ll probably rely a lot onour defense. Our pitching is go-ing to carry us,” Roger Baconcoach Charles Lindner said,now in his third season. “We’rehoping to pick up on our offen-sive skills – struggled there lastyear and I think we’ll turn itaround this year.”

Lindner likes what he seesfrom a pair of freshmen, Mad-die Gullette and Hamonie Ku-gele.

Roger Bacon begins on theroad at noon at Reading March28.

Mount Healthy’s softballteam, like its baseball team, islooking to put this past year’sseason out of its mind.

The Owls finished 0-16 and 0-13 in the Southwest Ohio Confer-ence. They were outscored 239-11 in 13 conference games.

They graduated shortstopAllison Meltebrink and catcherCourtney Logan, both of whichreceived recognition from theSWOC last year, and will lookfor new sources of production.

Head coach Kayla Heringcould not be reached for furthercomment.

Anytime you are atfault in a driving acci-dent you can expect allinsurance companies toknow. That’s what Jerry,from Rising Sun, Indiana,says he’s learned.

He writes,” How canmy insurance companyraise my rates on anaccident that was paid bymy wife’s insurance inher car? My rates willnot be reduced for threeyears. (My insurancecompany) had nothing inthe game whatsoever,and are profiting for noreason.”

Jerry goes on to write,“They go by a CLUE

report thatsays I wasthe driverin a paid-accidentclaim. Butstill, it hadnothing todo with(my insur-ance com-pany).”

That CLUE report iscritical to your insurancecompany learning aboutthe accident. Anytimeyou file a liability claimwith an insurance compa-ny it is reported to theComprehensive LossUnderwriting Exchange.

Usually, your CLUEscore is assessed whenyour insurance policycomes up for renewal.Any monetary claim youfile with an insurancecompany is reported toCLUE. All your claimsare grouped together soan insurer can assessyour insurance behaviorpatterns. So, several autoinsurance claims can, forinstance, lead to higherpremiums for yourhomeowners insurance.

To avoid increasedinsurance rates its bestto file as few claims aspossible. Don’t file aclaim for small amounts

if they are only slightlymore than your deduct-ible. Save any insuranceclaims you may file formajor, costly accidents.That will keep yourCLUE score as low aspossible which will saveyou money on premiumsfor every type of insur-ance policy you buy.

Any insurance claimyou file will remain inthe CLUE database forseven years from thedate you filed them.Some insurance compa-nies keep track of yourcalls if you ask whetheryou are covered for aloss – and such calls can

later be used against you– but such information isnot reported to CLUE.

Statistics show if youfiled an insurance claimin the past, you’re morelikely to do so in the fu-ture. The amount of theclaim, officials say, isless important than thenumber of times you file.

Your insurance premi-ums are also determinedby other factors includ-ing your age, gender,marital status, occupa-tion, education level, andcredit score. That creditscore tells companieshow much debt you carryand whether or not you

pay your bills on time.The Insurance In-

formation Institute saysstudies show how peoplemanage their money is agood indicator of wheth-er they will file an insur-ance claim.

Remember, the biggerthe risk you are to theinsurance company, thehigher the premiumyou’ll be charged—or youmay even be denied cov-erage.
