Atrio of local townships haveasked for bids to form a solidwaste district in hopes they cansecure lower garbage and recy-cling fees, saving money fortheir residents.

The district under consider-ation would include about40,600 homes in Colerain,Springfield and Ross town-ships.

Pickup in these communitiesis a currently by subscription,which means residents sign upfor waste and recycling directlywith waste haulers. Officialsare hoping to move to a contractmodel, in which a communitycontracts with a provider forwaste and curbside recyclingon behalf of residents. The resi-

dents would pay the bills forthose services directly to theprovider.

Springfield Township Ad-ministrator Mike Hinnenkampsaid the plan isn’t a done deal.

“All of the townships have toagree, and until we have a price,we don’t know if the pros out-weigh the cons,” he said.

Michelle Balz, an assistantsolid waste manager with thecounty solid waste district, sayssavings for residents in commu-

nities switching to a contractmodel can be big. Households incommunities with subscription-based recycling service inHamilton County pay on aver-age a monthly fee of $22.57 forwaste and recycling service be-fore fuel surcharges. Communi-ties that contract on behalf oftheir residents for curbsidewaste and recycling service inHamilton County pay on aver-age $12.01 per household permonth.

Currently, Colerain Town-ship residents pay the least ofthe communities considering awaste contract. The monthlycost for Colerain Township resi-dential garbage pickup is about$15.65 and recycling is an addi-tional $2.60 per month. Spring-field Township residents paygarbage pickup costs of about$20.79 per month and recyclingis an additional $2.75 per month.

Residents at a SpringfieldTownship public hearing on theservices were overall positiveabout the proposal, saying theyliked that recycling would be in-cluded. Springfield Townshipresident John Eward comparedthe plan to electric aggregation,which he said was a savings forresidents on their energy bills.The idea that there might bethere could be discounts for sin-

gle-can users was also attrac-tive to some at the hearing.

“I don’t want a big contain-er,” resident Sue Neal told trust-ees. “It would take me a monthto fill. I am hopeful there will beoptions for smaller bins.”

What wasn’t so attractive islosing the option to choose yourprovider. If the contract is ap-proved, there is no opt out avail-able for most residents. The ser-vice will be provided and billedto single-family residences.And some residents were con-cerned about whether it willreally save.

Springfield Township resi-dent Robin Hendley said shepulled some old bills for trashcollection and she’s worriedshe’ll end up paying more under

Townships ask for bids for trash collectionJennie [email protected] CONTRACTS CAN IMPROVE RECYCLING

In 2013, communities with subscription recycling programs achievedan average 9.20 percent recycling rate. Communities with a contractbased recycling program achieved a 17.92 percent recycling rate. Therecycling rate is the percentage of waste diverted through recycling andis different from the participation rate.

Ballet Toybox atthe Aronoff Center

THE ENQUIRER/CAMERON KNIGHT

Anna Franchi, 2, daughter of Ed Franchi of Colerain Township, gets her phototaken with a Cincinnati Ballet dancer on March 22 after Ballet Toybox, aninteractive learning experience at the Aronoff Center.

Two vehicles crash, leav-ing one on its roof and the oth-er with extensive front-enddamage. Firefighters have towork together to get multiplepatients from the vehicles andstart treatment as quickly aspossible.

Peeling back car panelsand doors while protectingthe injured trapped inside,stabilizing the patients as theextrication happens and re-moving the patients once apathway to them is clearedare not simple tasks. Theytake skill, practice and train-ing, and Colerain fire instruc-tors recently presented theopportunity in its FirefighterII class to help one group ofstudents work together onmultiple patient rescues us-ing approved auto extricationmethods.

The students got them allout within 28 minutes of their“arrival on scene,” makingthe total simulated patientcare well within the 60 minute“Golden Hour” for a patient.In emergency medicine, thisrefers to a time period lastingfor one hour from the arrivalof the firefighters on thescene to the patient’s arrivalat an appropriate medical fa-cility geared for their traumainjuries following a traumaticinjury.

This was part of a continu-

ing training program by theColerain fire department de-signed to train firefighters toa higher level of certificationwhile teaching standard oper-ating procedures and instill-ing leadership and teamworkusing state and nationalguidelines.

Capt. Chris Hopkins, train-ing supervisor for the depart-ment, says the department ischartered by the state, has atraining tower and more than60 certified instructors andoffers fire training.

The department offered aFirefighter I class in the fall,that allowed about two dozenpeople to attend free thanks tostate grant money.

In at least one case, thatstate grant money was intend-ed as an incentive. AJ Lawson,

23, attended the Firefighter Iclass thanks to the grant.

His dad, Mount HealthyFire Chief Steve Lawson, saidhe thinks the grant was thepush his son needed to takethe class and pursue firefight-ing as a career.

In early February, the Col-erain department started aFirefighter II Class that,when successfully completedin April, will have 12 firefight-ers certified to the Ohio FireTraining Standard for careerfirefighters. Lawson is amember of that class, as well.

The 12 students representseven different fire depart-ments from throughout theGreater Cincinnati area.

the new plan. Several resi-dents commented thatthey hoped the plan wouldmean more people wouldrecycle. Since recycling

would be included, ratherthan an additional charge,it’s likely that could hap-pen.

Hamilton County’soverall recycling rate in2014 was 14.47 percent.Chris Gilbert, assistantadministrator in Spring-field Township, said hiscommunity’s recyclingrate is about 9 percent.The Hamilton County Sol-id Waste ManagementDistrict says Colerain’srecycling rate is just over5 percent.

Communities withhigher recycling rates re-ceive more Residential

Recycling Incentivefunds through the Hamil-ton County Recycling andSolid Waste District. TheRRI program dividesabout $1 million annuallyto Hamilton County com-munities as an incentiveto increase recycling. As acommunity increasestheir recycling rate andtons of materials collect-ed, the community re-ceives more incentivefunds. That money can beused to buy items madewith recycled materials,such as park benches andpicnic tables.

Springfield Township

Trustee Joseph Honerlawtold residents the boardwill evaluate the bids,weigh the financial infor-mation and make a deci-sion. Colerain Townshipplans to conduct its publichearing after the propos-als are received, and theyare due in May. ColerainTownship AdministratorJim Rowan said residentscould bring their bills tothe public hearing to seehow the contract couldimpact what they nowpay. The townships ex-pect the service to startnext spring if terms canbe reached.

When lunchtime rollsaround, a familiar andfriendly face is often pop-ping in and out of North-gate Mall.

Donald Wood isn’t win-dow shopping, he’s takinglunch orders for Apple-bee’s.

“Don hates to misswork, no matter what thecircumstance is. He is in-credibly responsible, de-pendable, and is very ded-icated to his job,” saidMark Pucci, a home aidfrom Southwest HomeHealthcare who has beenassisting Wood with hisjob for the past fourmonths.

“Being with Don is justlike hanging out with aclose friend. He is a lot offun to be around.”

For the past 13 years,Wood has been a huge as-set to the Applebee’s teamat Northgate Mall. Threetimes a week, he goesthroughout the mall tak-ing orders from store em-ployees who want Apple-bee’s for lunch. He evenhas “regulars” at the mallwho look forward to or-dering from him.

Terry Ferguson, a jobcoach at Easter Seals, hasworked with Wood for thepast five years.

“Don really loves hisjob,” she said. “His man-agers and employeeshave spoken numeroustimes of how they reallyenjoy working with Don.”

Wood, who does notspeak, uses a communica-tion device to interactwith his customers andfellow employees.

“Would you like to or-

der from Applebee’s to-day?” is programmed onhis device which makes iteasy to take orders fromhis customers.

Wood said his favoritepart of his job is the peo-ple he works with, espe-cially when they are alljoking around and havingfun. He is also grateful forthe kindness of his man-

agers, who he says havetreated him well duringthe past 13 years.

“It is such a pleasure tocome and see Don whilehe is at work,” Fergusonsaid. “What I admire themost about Don is his per-sonality and contagioussense of humor. He reallymakes the best out of hissituation.”

McAuley HighSchool

» The last full week ofMarch was celebrated asWorld Language Week atMcAuley High School.

Prayers were spokenin many languages, triviacontests were conducted,creative videos wereshown to the entire schooland special enrichmentactivities happened inSpanish, French and Latinclasses.

Coinciding with WorldLanguage Week, studentsin McAuley’s creativecooking class celebratedfoods from around theworld. They planned,shopped for, and preparedan international appetizerparty. The highlight of theweek was a presentationby guest cook MariaReyes, who is the motherof senior Osmari Novoa.Reyes is from Peru, wentto college in Puerto Ricoon scholarship when shewas 18, moved to Cincin-nati after college withoutspeaking English, andowns her own company,employing 10 people, andspeaks English fluently.

Reyes held the rapt at-tention of the studentsand their teacher, KathyDietrich, as she told herinspiring story and helpedthem make delicious flan,the way it is made in Peru.

» McAuley advancedplacement (AP) physicsstudents participated inan International Master-class in Particle Physics.

The Masterclass giveshigh school students theopportunity to be particlephysicists for a day by an-alyzing real data from theLarge Hadron Collider, atCERN, the European Or-ganization for NuclearResearch. The LHC is theworld’s largest particleaccelerator that collidesprotons or lead ions at en-ergies approaching thespeed of light.

McAuley’s AP Physicsstudents, taught by LisaNissen, collaborated withstudents from AndersonHigh School to examinethe products of collisionsbetween elementary par-ticles that travel throughthe LHC. They presentedtheir findings during aninternational video con-ference with particlephysicists and other highschool students fromFrance and Italy March17. The students had theopportunity to ask ques-tions of real-life physi-cists from CERN. TheMasterclass allows thestudents to work like realscientists, work directlywith particle physicists,and get a taste of howmodern research in phys-ics works.

Senior Megan Kerth,daughter of TheresaKerth of White Oak, said,“Video chatting withCERN Physicists andschools from France and

Italy was such an amazingopportunity. A scientistfrom CERN was actuallydown inside the particleaccelerator to show us thetools and elements thatmake up the LHC. Spend-ing time learning aboutparticle physics in classand then being able to endthe lesson with a videochat was honestly such acool experience that I amdefinitely going to re-member.”

Junior Jennifer Chun-guyen said, “I definitelyenjoyed the video confer-ence because it allowedme to learn more aboutCERN and all the re-search they do to betterour world. As a class, weexperienced hands on col-lection of data that wecontributed towards thevideo conference withschools from differentcountries. I am very glad Igot to participate in thisactivity.” She is thedaughter of Tuan Chu andNga Nguyen of ColerainTownship.

In Ma-kerSpace the studentssaw 3-D printers, an en-

graving machine, an Eli-son machine, a sewingmachine, a recordingbooth, a green screen, andmore. They learned thatpatrons may reserve thisspace from home and theonly cost is the cost of ma-terials.

You’ve heard the old saying“one person’s misfortune isanother person’s blessing.”

That happenedto us this weekwhen our neigh-bor Bobby, wholives down theroad, called andsaid he had alarge ash treethat had died. Afamiliar story inour area. Frank,Bobby and ourboys made quickwork of the tree.

We’ll be glad next winter thatwe took the time in the springto get it cut and stacked.

Food is like that, too. Rightnow we’re marking rows in thegarden for produce we’ll plantnow and harvest in fall. Andthere’s a renaissance of sortsgoing on with canning andpreserving. All part of theawareness of eating healthyand controlling what’s in thefood we eat. So as we go intowarmer weather, this columnwill be a good resource foreasy home canned goods, likejellies, jams, salsas, vinegars,etc. If you have a favorite,share and I’ll publish it.

Healthy, tasty reasons to gonuts with spring recipes

Rita HeikenfeldRITA’S KITCHEN

Easy candied nuts

Spring is the time to take pantry inventory. I was doing just that when I ran across ajar of pecans that were near the expiration date. I tossed some in a nonstick skillet andmade a batch of candied pecans for our salad. They turned out so nice that I wanted togive you the recipe, too.

3 tablespoons packed light or dark brown sugar - I used light1 tablespoon water1 teaspoon vanilla1/4 teaspoon salt2 cups pecan halves

Mix together sugar, water, vanilla, and salt. It will look grainy. Set aside.Toast pecans in dry skillet for several minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burn-

ing. They’re done when they give off a nice aroma. Drizzle sugar mixture on top, stirringas you drizzle. Keep stirring until nuts are all coated. This takes about a minute. Immedi-ately spread nuts on sprayed pan in single layer to cool. They’ll look sticky but coating willharden and nuts can be broken apart after they cool completely. Store in airtight contain-er at room temperature.

Tip: A wonderful appetizer or ice cream topping, as well.

Chicken and black bean enchiladas

One of my students told me her daughterenjoys reading my recipes. “You have a new gener-ation of readers”, she said. That made me feelpretty good as that’s been my goal all along, toget everyone cooking together. Since her daughterlikes Mexican foods, here’s one of our favorites forher to try.

1-1/4 pounds chicken tenderloins, thinly sliced4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (leave

drippings in skillet)2 teaspoons minced garlic or more to taste24 oz. Picante sauce16 oz. black beans, drained, rinsed and

drained1 red or green bell pepper, diced1 generous teaspoon cumin or more to taste -

I usually add moreSalt to taste1 generous cup thinly sliced green onions,

both white and green parts12 flour tortillas, 6-inch size16 oz. Mexican cheese blend, shredded

Garnish: Tomato, sour cream, shredded ice-berg, guacamole, or diced avocado, more Picantesauce or salsa, shredded cheese.

Cook chicken and garlic until chicken iscooked. Stir in 1/2 cup Picante sauce, beans, bellpepper, cumin and salt. Simmer until thickened,stirring occasionally. Stir in green onions andbacon. Taste and add more Picante sauce, cumin,etc. if desired.

Spoon about 1/4 cup down center of eachtortilla and sprinkle on a heaping 2 tablespoonscheese. Roll up and place seam side down in asprayed 9x13 casserole.

Pour rest of Picante sauce over enchiladasand sprinkle with rest of cheese. Tent with foil andbake in preheated 350 degree oven until hotthroughout, about 30 minutes or so.

Serve topped with garnishes.Tip: Add a cup or so of frozen shoe peg corn

with the beans.

Thanks again,Mike Brown

So the recent news reportthat revealed that NationalFootball League owners votedoverwhelmingly to lift the localblackout rule for all games wasmet with only one negative votewas not surprising to me in theleast.

First, we have an owner whothreatened to leave town if anew stadium wasn’t paid for bywe the taxpayers. Done.

Second, we have promisesthat this is needed to help keepthe team competitive with otherfranchises. Define competitive:if maintaining a loss to win ratiothat is inverted, then I guess theBengals are still competitive.Done and done.

Finally, fans: both loyal andband-wagon supporters dessert

the season ticket options be-cause the value given for theseats is not met on the field withcommensurate performanceare blamed for not providingenough ticket revenue. Really?

Mr. Brown stated that he os-tensibly voted no because ofother revenue sharing issuesand not solely because of theblackout.

Walk a mile in someone else’sshoes Mike?

Well, it looks like he is at leastlearning something from the re-maining fans after all

Do I think he or his familywill change. Watch for those fly-ing pigs when you go down-town!

“Is it April already? That’s ajoke right there.”

“I do not think I have ever beeninvolved in an April Fools’ Dayprank.

“But Sports Illustrated got meand millions more in their 4/1/85 is-sue. They had noted sports scribeGeorge Plimpton write of an unbe-

lievable rookie pitcher Sid Finch.Sid had a fastball timed way be-yond any pitcher then or now. Hewas being kept under wraps by theNew York Mets, who played alongwith the farce. All the major net-works swarmed to the Mets springcamp to see this phenomenon.

Every week we ask readers a question theycan reply to via email. Send your answers tonorthwestpress@community press.com withCh@troom in the subject line.

It’s a good thing we don’tlive in a monarchy.

U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot isthe new chairman of theHouse Small Business Com-mittee.

Last week Chabot wrote acolumn about what he’d do ifhe were an American kinginstead of a Congressman toincrease job growth amongsmall businesses.

I guess I’ve finally becomecynical about Republicansand their economic policies –having once been a Repub-lican myself.

The problem is with me.My painting business hasstruggled for so long that I nolonger identify with the rich.

I used to like it when Re-publicans would do the dou-blespeak thing. You know,where they’d come up with anidea that I knew would helpthe rich at the expense ofpeople who were not rich andthen they would justify itwith some far-fetched reasonthat did not relate at all towhat they were up to.

Knowing the lingo, maybeit’s time I started callingthem on it.

In his column, Chabot saidthat if he were king he would

have a “flattax” on busi-ness incomes.

Chabot didnot elaborateon what a flattax is. A flattax meansthat all busi-nesses willpay the exactsame percentof tax on

their incomes regardless ofhow much money they earn.

Businesses are currentlytaxed in a manner similar tohow individuals are taxed,where as a payer’s incomegoes up, they move into high-er and higher income taxbrackets.

Chabot’s sole justificationfor going to a flat tax is be-cause he claims the currentsystem is “too complicated.”

Even if there were somecompelling need for us tosimplify our tax code, Chabotoffers no hint as to why hethinks this change wouldspecifically help small busi-nesses more than it wouldhelp big ones or create morejobs.

So who would gain if wewent to a flat tax? Rich busi-

nesses, of course.The current tax system

was designed to put a heavierburden on those payers whoare better able to pay.

That’s the purpose of thetax brackets.

Last April I wrote a col-umn in the Community Presswhere I came up with a novelidea that I thought reallywould specifically help smallbusinesses (and the taxpay-ers) at the expense of bigbusinesses.

I suggested a Constitu-tional Amendment to prohibittaxpayer-funded incentives atthe state and local level.

My amendment wouldhave required the states totreat businesses the sameway they must currentlytreat churches.

The amendment simplyread, “The states shall makeno law respecting an estab-lishment of business.”

Only big, wealthy busi-nesses ever qualify for in-centives anyway.

Chabot ignored it.

In October of 2012,Colerain Police Depart-ment partnered with theOhio Attorney General’sOffice, in an effort toprevent the abuse ofprescription medica-tions, by providing thepublic with a permanentdrug drop box located atthe police station, 4200Springdale Road.

The Drug Drop Boxis a secure, mailbox-style disposal box set upso individuals can walkinto the police depart-ment and deposit theirunwanted, expired orunused prescriptiondrugs and over-the-counter medications.

The Drug Drop Boxprogram is a communi-ty-based public healthinitiative that highlightsthe problem of prescrip-tion drug and enablescitizens to contribute tothe solution. In 2014, theColerain Township DrugDrop Box collected anddestroyed 350 pounds ofdrugs.

In the U.S., the num-ber one substance ofabuse among 12- to 17-year-olds is prescriptiondrugs. Much of thatsupply comes from themedicine cabinets fromfamily and friends’homes. One way to helpstop this abuse isthrough the drug dropbox.

Proper disposal ofprescription drugs isturning them over tolaw enforcement inorder to have them de-

stroyed.Flush-ing thedrugsdownthetoiletcanpoten-tiallyput thedrugs inthe

water supply. Items that can be

placed in the Drug DropBox include prescrip-tions, over-the-countermedications, medicationsamples, and medica-tions for pets.

Items that should notbe placed in the boxinclude needles, ther-mometers, bloody orinfectious waste liquids,lotions or ointments/

The Colerain PoliceDepartment acceptsdrug drop offs Mondaythrough Friday, 24 hoursa day. Please utilize thisservice and keep thedrugs off the streets,prevent overdoses andaccidental poisoning.

In the spirit of April’s“Prescription Aware-ness” month, this is justa reminder to all to dis-card all unwanted orneeded prescriptiondrugs in your home.

Drug drop box helpsfight prescriptiondrug abuse

Lt. JenniferSharp COMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

The continued deterioration ofour public infrastructure in Col-erain Township is a major con-cern for the board and admini-stration. As of March, 2015, Col-erain Township streets had anaverage pavement condition in-dex (PCI) of 41 as compared to a70 back in 2001. This rating wouldrepresent a “D” in terms of areport card. To change the aver-age PCI from decreasing to in-creasing, the township wouldhave to resurface 4.36 miles peryear at an estimated cost of $1.3million annually. The longer wedelay investing in our public in-frastructure, the higher the costto our residents.

Up until 2002, the townshipreceived 1 mill of taxes annuallyfrom a road levy until a renewalfailed in 2001. From 2001 through2011, the township relied on itsgeneral fund to pay for road re-surfacing most of which was gen-erated from state revenues, par-ticularly the estate tax and localgovernment fund that was re-duced by $1.5 million in 2011.

The unsuccessful attempt ofpassing a Joint Economic Devel-opment Zone in November 2014for public infrastructure im-provements has resulted in addi-tional cuts to our roads, parks and

senior center in2015. The boardhas approved$375,000 as partof the 2015 budgetfor road resurfac-ing for a fewstreets in thetownship, whileour road crewsfocuses on patch-ing and sealingmany streets in

various stages of disrepair.In addition to public safety –

police and fire – Colerain Town-ship has an obligation to the resi-dents to provide funding forroads. The Public Works Depart-ment is responsible for the main-tenance of township roads whichincludes repairs, snow removal,sign installation, storm sewermaintenance and overseeing rightof way easements. In 2012, theroads division employed 13 full-time and 2 part-time staff mem-bers. In 2015, staffing has beenreduced to 10 as a result of reduc-tions in the funding sources men-tioned above.

Colerain Township has part-nered with Northern KentuckyUniversity, at no cost. to conducta scientific survey of our resi-dents on a number of issues in-

cluding the importance of main-taining our roads, parks and sen-ior center. If you are contactedfor the survey, we would ask thatyou take a few minutes to provideus vital input on determining apath for our future.

In 2014, we received signedpetitions from 33 residents askingfor funding to resurface and re-pair streets, curbs and gutters inone of Colerain’s residentialneighborhoods. While fundingcurrently doesn’t exist to ade-quately address our failing infra-structure, I will be spearheadinga focus group later this summerto engage and educate the com-munity on the vital need to ad-dress our aging infrastructure. Ifyou have interest in participatingin the focus group, please contactme at [email protected] or at513-923-5005.

Our vision of “Delivering Ex-cellence to a Best in Class Com-munity” isn’t possible without theassistance and support of you, ourresidents. Please get engaged inthe conversation and help us finda solution that brings value to allour residents.

La Salle’s bench watches the actionas the Lancers face Elder in a GCLSouth opener on April 1 at thePanther Athletic Complex.

Colerain High School fin-ished third in the regular seasonlast year in the Greater MiamiConference and took fourth inthe GMC tournament. The Car-dinals have six returning start-ers from last year, and coachSteve Tapogna and his team areoptimistic they can be compet-itive again.

“The kids have carried overthe enthusiasm from last year;they think they can have a real-ly good year,” Tapogna said.“They want to build off lastyear’s success, duplicate thatand/or improve on that this sea-son.”

All Tapogna’s singles playersare returning starters. At firstsingles is sophomore MatthewLaskey, who Tapogna said hasworked hard to improve, addingthat he’s got a great first serve,solid ground strokes and he’sgotten better at the net. At sec-ond singles is senior captainDoug Friedhoff, a four-year var-sity starter for the Cardinals.Another senior captain, HenryWessels, plays third singles andis also a four-year varsity start-er. Tapogna added that the sin-gles rotation is interchange-able, they can all move aroundas needed.

At first doubles, 6-foot-4 sen-ior Steven Koenig and seniorBen Taphorn both return. Ta-pogna said they played togetherat second doubles last season,and they’ve both progressed inthe right direction. At seconddoubles, Tapogna has threeguys who can help out in seniorAlec Wickham, senior MarcusSprenger and senior Tyler Mar-shall.

Marshall and Sprenger bothplayed junior varsity last sea-son, and because they’re closein terms of talent, Tapogna mayrotate them every match de-pending on who has the hothand.

Junior Josiah Archer andsophomore Nathan Lorenz willalso likely get some varsitymatches this season, Tapognasaid he wants them to get someexperience.

La Salle will field an experi-enced bunch this season on thehard court. The Lancers havefive returning starters led bycoach Mike Holman, who’s in

his 15th season with the Lanc-ers.

Senior Eric Blessing will bein the first singles spot. Holmansaid last year was Blessing’sfirst year playing and he pickedit up pretty quickly, moving upto first singles last year. SeniorEric Ruhe will play second sin-gles and playing doubles lastseason. Holman said he couldhelp out in doubles as needed.Sophomore David Orth will fillthird singles but could also beused in doubles. Orth was a sin-gles player on junior varsitylast season, Holman said.

The other returning startersare seniors Nathan Barry andMatt Bumpus, both doublesplayers. Bumpus is a three-yearvarsity player and Barry’s atwo-year guy.

Holman said this will be agood year to have experiencebecause most of the younger,newer guys in the program havehardly any experience.

“The good thing is with theexperience you don’t necessar-ily have to teach them what itmeans to win,” Holman said.“They have that understandingof what a tough match looks likeand how to persevere in thosesituations; that’s where I thinkthe experience will help themost.”

Also helping out in the dou-bles department this season willbe senior John Muth, and ju-niors Jeff Bogenschutz andJake Lawson.

“When you bring in a couplenewer guys, (the seniors) aregonna kind of show them how

things are done in a practice re-gimen and in competition,” Hol-man said.

The Lancers started the sea-son with a 3-2 win over CHCA,then lost to Talawanda on March31.

After graduating seven sen-iors, including all-SouthwestOhio Conference performersTim Jergens, Jeyland Kitchen,Trendal Miller and Ricky Platt,Northwest has its work cut outfor it this season.

Head coach Lauri Beyer saidshe doesn’t know what this sea-son will hold. The Knights havea couple players who are new tothe game and a couple more who

played on the junior varsity lev-el last season.

“We’ll see how it goes,”Beyer said.

Northwest’s lone returningplayer with varsity experienceis junior Justin Carter. Heplayed doubles last season andis making the jump to No. 1 sin-gles this year. Because of the in-experience of the roster, he isthe only viable option for thespot.

Making the jump from dou-bles to being the No. 1 singlesplayer isn’t the norm, but play-ing doubles has helped him withhis game.

“He has some adjustments tomake,” the coach said. “But, he

has improved especially withhis play at the net.”

Carter was an all-conferenceperformer last season.

Senior Michael Smith re-turns for a another year to fillthe No. 2 singles role. His firstseason was last year.

At No. 3 singles is freshmanDavid Cao.

“He’s done some good thingsfor us so far,” Beyer said.

The Knights are breaking inplayers such as new junior SeanJohnson on their doubles teams.

St. Xavier High Schoolhas endured a long, andseemingly endless reignat the top of the tennisworld in the GreaterCatholic League South.The Bombers have wonthe conference everyyear since 1967 and thisyear doesn’t look any dif-ferent.

With four returningstarters, the Bomberslook formidable again. Ju-nior Andrew Niehaus re-sumes his spot at first sin-gles. Last season, Niehauswas the GCL South Playerof the Year and a DivisionI state singles qualifier.Sophomore Peter Schul-teis is another returningsingles starter along withjunior Waqas Tanveer.

Senior Connor Aronoffand junior Neil Bostickreturn as starters, bothwere first team All-GCLSouth last season. Alsoback are seniors NateJohns and J.P. Bosse withsophomore Cameron Ge-oppinger – those threewill rotate depending onhow they’re playing, said

coach Russ King, now inhis 31st season with theBombers.

“I like how young (theteam) is, and we have anumber of good, youngkids coming in next year,”said King. “They’recoachable and they listen;I’m looking forward toseeing how they mature.”

The Bombers will havetheir work cut out forthem this season.

“Our schedule thisyear is horrendous, we’replaying all the top teamsin the state,” King said.

King would also like tosee his young team growand hit the weight room.

“They’re all young andthey’re not real big guys;normally we have biggerguys,” said King. “Thegoal this year is to getthem bigger, and theyswear they’re gonna do itbut saying it is one thingand doing it is another.”

After not fielding ateam in either 2013 or2014, Mount Healthy isset to begin the 2015 sea-son April 8 against Tala-wanda. The Braves havebeen the runner-up to Wil-mington in the SWOCeach of the past two sea-sons.

Last year, Wes Post, now inhis second season as the headvolleyball coach at La SalleHigh School, was busy re-haul-ing the Lancers program. Ac-cording to Post, it was his job tobring structure to a programlacking.

Now, he feels like they’removing in the right direction.During last season’s overhaul,the Lancers were still competi-tive but only came away withseven wins. Post has three re-turning starters from that team,and just two seniors this year.

Returning as starters aresenior William Frey, a two-yearvarsity player and a defensivespecialist, and junior libero JoeWalden and sophomore outsidehitter Will Goldschmidt.

“The good thing is we’re ex-tremely young,” said Post. “Wehave five sophomores that playa pretty dominant role on ourteam.”

Some of those sophomoresare Hayden Wood, Jake Krogerand Alex Williams.

The Lancers will be lookingup at most opponents. They’renot the biggest team. Post saidhis biggest guy is junior Antho-ny Martini (6-foot-3) who’s amiddle blocker in his secondseason playing.

“We are not the biggest team,so we have to play a completelydifferent game than the bigguys plays,” Post said. “It’s gon-na be amazing to watch them asthe season progresses. I don’tknow if we’ll beat (Elder, St. Xand Moeller) but they will fightand I think we can scare somepeople.”

La Salle started the season4-1 with four straight wins overSycamore, Monroe, Milford andMiddletown before losing toFairfield.

Colerain High School intro-duced boys volleyball to itssports offerings in 2015 with aclub team. The boys, who areplaying a varsity schedule intheir first year, have started 0-2after losses to Edgewood andOak Hills.

As previously reported,while a club sport, they will usethe Colerain name to qualify forstartup grant money and willuse the high school’s facilitiesfor both games and practicearound other spring sports.

The “club” title will be in

place for five years so the dis-trict can identify its popularity.

Upcoming games include agame at Milford April 10 and atPrinceton April 14.

Roger Bacon is loaded withseven seniors this year so ex-pect the Spartans to use that ex-perience to their advantage.

Returning as starters for theSpartans are senior setter AlexBrenner, senior right-side hit-ter Robbie Heywood, seniormiddle hitter Ben Holt, senioroutside hitter Bobby Wilking,senior outside hitter Jack Haus-feld and senior middle hitter To-ny Weickert. Ninth-year coachAdam Goller said that Brenneris currently working his wayback from an injury but thedepth and balance of this teamhas him excited to see what theycan accomplish.

Brenner and Wilking wereboth first team Greater Catho-lic League Coed conference se-lections last season. Holt wassecond team.

“I’m excited about our bal-ance. I think our team is gonnahave great balance,” said Goll-er. “We have a number of strongplayers we can go to as needed.

It’s difficult right now (becauseof injuries) there’s been somemajor changes to our lineup, butwe’re still competing and doingwell. We’re mostly looking toget healthy again.”

To start the season, RogerBacon defeated Bishop Watter-son, then lost to Walsh Jesuitand Toledo St. Francis DeSales,before beating Fenwick. OnApril 3-4, the Spartans traveledto Chicago to compete in the Ti-ger Classic.

There’s another talented, ex-perienced volleyball team outon North Bend Road this year atSt. Xavier High School. TheBombers finished runner-up inthe state last year to rival Elder,but St. X returns some serioustalent and adds some newcom-ers that could spell trouble forits opponents.

St. X has six seniors on theroster and three are returningstarters. Senior outside hitterNick Talbot is the returning re-gional and Greater CatholicLeague South Player of theYear. Senior setter Patrick Beeris another integral spoke in theBombers’ wheel. Coach Bill Fer-ris, now in his 14th season with

the school, said Beer and Talbothave long been teammates andeven though Talbot garneredthe accolades last season, Beerwas equally important to theirsuccess.

Senior middle hitter MichaelHartmann is the third returningstarter and Ferris said Hart-mann’s athletic and a jumperwith a fast arm swing. Accord-ing to Ferris, Hartmann didn’tpick up the sport until highschool, but because of his athlet-icism he’s been able to catch upin terms of talent.

The other three seniors, allexpected to help lead, are mid-dle hitter Eric Spoelker, right-side hitter Greg Martini and de-fensive specialist Victor Viaca-va. Another key addition is ju-nior outside hitter Evan Bretelwho has the ability to play thefront or back row and he’ll becharged with helping replacethe hitter spot opposite Talbotwho graduated.

“Having that experience(back) is very helpful to us,”Ferris said. “Our other seniorsare ready to step in and they’relooking forward to it.”

Every year, St. X trades

shots with its conference foesand one of them usually bringshome the state title or finishessecond. The reason, Ferris said,is that (at least in his experi-ence) he doesn’t have to spendtime motivating his guys.

“In my experience, and Ipresume it’s the same at Elderand Moeller, I don‘t have to do alot of motivating of these guys,”Ferris explained. “They come inmotivated. I don‘t spend anytime getting them excited ormaking them want success,they’re high achievers that al-ready want that.”

The Bombers opened confer-ence play immediately with LaSalle on April 7 and then againwith Elder on April 10.

There have been somegreat father-son combina-tions in NCAA footballhistory: Archie Manningand his sons Payton andEli, Clay Matthews andhis sons Clay and Casey,Mark Ingram and his sonMark, Kellen Winslowand his son Kellen, OliverLuck and Andrew; butnone of these combina-tions both played on na-tional championshipteams.

Dr. Bob Burger and hisson, Joe, did, and may wellbe one of the only fatherand son combinations inthe United States to havedone so. Both La Sallehigh school graduates,Bob’s Notre Dame teamwon the title in 1977, andson Joe’s Ohio State teambecame the latest nationalchampion with their vic-tory Jan. 12.

Scouts liked what theysaw in Bob as a long snap-per, so Bob was offered apreferred walk-on at No-tre Dame. Joe, a La Salleall-state linebacker, wasoffered a few footballscholarships, but chose toattend Ohio State as pre-ferred walk-on.

Bob’s 1977 champion-ship season came as afreshman, while Joe’s2014 Ohio State team wonhis junior year. Bothteams were rated highpreseason; Notre DameNo. 1 and Ohio State No. 5.

Both teams were upsettheir second game of theyear making it appeartheir championship runwas over. Both teamswere led, in the champion-ship game by a quarter-back that was third stringat the beginning of theyear. Joe Montana re-placed Rusty Lish and Fo-rystek while Buckeyequarterback Cardale

Jones replaced BraxtonMiller and J. T. Barrett.

To become nationalchamps, No. 5 NotreDame had to beat the No. 1Texas Longhorns, whofeatured Heisman Trophywinner Earl Campbell.Ohio State had to best No.2 Oregon who featureHeisman Trophy winnerMarcus Mariota.

Texas would end upcommitting seven turn-overs as the Irish went onto trounce the Longhorns38-10. Notre Dame haddone their job, but otherthings had to fall in place.It worked almost likeclockwork. A Lou Holtz-coached Arkansas teamdefeated No. 2 Oklahoma.No. 4 Michigan lost in the

Although many con-sumers don’t do it, it’smore important thanever to have a used vehi-cle checked out by acertified mechanic andlook for safety defectsprior to a purchase.

You see, while it isillegal to sell a new carwith an unrepaired safe-ty recall, there is no fed-eral law prohibiting thesale of used cars withunrepaired safety de-fects.

You may recall tens ofmillions of cars wererecalled for safety de-fects in just the pastyear. Defects range fromexploding airbags todangerously defectiveignition switches. Yet,many of those vehiclesare being offered for saleright now even thoughthe repairs have not beenmade. In fact, about 25percent of car owners do

not gettheir vehi-cles re-pairedwithin 18months ofa safetyrecall,accordingto the Na-tionalHighway

Traffic Safety Admini-stration.

Carfax, which sellsvehicle history reports,estimates about 36 mil-lion registered cars andtrucks currently haveoutstanding safety re-calls. In some cases,Consumer Action re-ports, parts needed torepair a defect are inshort supply leavingpotentially dangerousvehicles on the road in-definitely. Sometimesrecall notices don’t reachowners because they

have moved or the own-ers don’t get the repairsdone because they maynot feel the recalls arevery important.

While manufacturersare required by the gov-ernment to notify con-sumers of safety defectsand perform repairs,they only pay for thoserepairs for 10 years fromthe time a vehicle is de-termined to have a safetydefect. Of course, un-repaired vehicles notonly put the driver andpassengers at risk butothers on the road aswell.

Those looking to buy aused vehicle should alsocheck the government’swebsite, SaferCar.gov.There, consumers canlook up a car’s vehicleidentification number tosee if there’s an unre-paired recall beforeagreeing to buy the vehi-

cle.No matter where you

shop to buy a used car,either from a nationalretailer or a local dealer-ship, you still need to getthat vehicle’s VIN num-ber checked with the

national database to seeif there’s an open recallon the particular vehicleyou are looking to buy.

Incidentally, all themajor car rental compa-nies have now pledged tostop renting or selling

unrepaired recalled carsto consumers.

Seventeen crafty andphilanthropic ladies gath-ered one morning at theCincinnati Woman’s Clubin Clifton to prepare itemsfor the Cincinnati FisherHouse.

The Fisher House, onthe grounds of the VA Hos-pital, provides a free“home away from home”for the families of veter-ans being treated there.

Under the direction ofChairman of the Day,Carolyn Rand, the ladiesmade 16 spring wreaths todecorate room doors andpacked 100 welcome bagswith snacks and personalitems for the families.

Each bag also contained apersonal letter of appreci-ation for the veteran’s ser-vice.

Every month the Cin-cinnati Woman’s Clubschedules a “Can-Do”work day to create practi-cal items needed by one ofits supported charities.

Later in the morningKarrie Hagan, manager ofFisher House, visited to re-trieve the items and toshare with the group themission of Fisher House. Itis to provide a place to stay,at no charge, for veteransand their families who livemore than 50 miles from

the VA Hospital. Up to 40people can be accommo-dated in the 16 rooms, andit is usually close to full.

There is no minimum ormaximum stay, but the av-erage stay is about oneweek. Food is supplied,and families cook forthemselves from a well-stocked common kitchen.
