Members of the NorthwestBoard of Education continue tomove closer to a decision as tohow best to tackle improvingprograms and facilities in theschool district.

At meeting Monday night,theboardwasexpected tobeginhoning in on specific plans forhow the district will be config-ured in the futureandhowfacil-ity needs will be addressed.

In 2015, a 4.5-mill five-yearemergencylevywillexpire,andthe board needs to make somedecisionsby itsJan.5meeting ifthe district will put an issue –

tax levy, bond ora combination–on the ballot inMay.

The architec-tural firm RothLesko provided anumber of op-tions for the

board to consider, based on anassessment that 12 of the dis-trict’s 13 schools have seriousneedsforrenovationorreplace-ment. Superintendent AndrewJackson says a number of pos-sible configurations to addressthese needs within the districtwere considered, but currently,the district is looking for inputon two.

The board asked for commu-nity input, and phone and andonline surveys are underwaynow, to gather that input fromdistrict residents and help theboard understand what thecommunity wants.

“The survey is intended togauge perceptions on our edu-cational programs and other is-sues including options for im-provements to the facilities,”Jackson said. “The data collect-ed from the surveys will assistthe board in making decisionsfor the future of our schools.”

One option being discussedin the survey would replacesome elementary schools withthree larger totally new ele-

mentary schools, closing twocurrent schools. All students inthe Welch attendance areawould attend a new K-5 schoolonthePleasantRunElementarycampus, and Welch and Pleas-ant Run Elementary would beclosed.

All students in the Taylor at-tendance area would attend anew K-5 school on the Taylorcampus, and Taylor would beclosed. All students in the Wei-gel and Struble attendanceareas would attend a new K-5school on the Struble campus,and Weigel and Struble wouldbe closed.

The K-5 Colerain and Mon-fort Heights elementary build-

ingsandthedistrict’s threemid-dle schoolswould be renovated.In this plan students in grades10-12 would be consolidated atthe Colerain High School cam-pus, andNorthwestHighSchoolwould be repurposed as a dis-trict-widefreshmanschool.Thedistrict would no longer havetwo high schools.

A second option is similar tothe first at the elementary andmiddle school levels. This sec-ond option being discussedwould also keep and renovateboth high schools.

The total cost of either of theoptions is about $90 million.

MONFORTHEIGHTS—There’sno monopoly on success. Asmuch as somewould like to ownit, that’s not how it works.

Success doesn’t come easy.

It’s a lengthy, complicated proc-ess. At the heart of success arepeople. LaSalle’s alwayshad thepeople. What they needed wassuccess.

They’re the ones clad in redandwhite, right in themiddle ofsomething they’ll never forget

— a state championship.AtLaSalle, they’vebeenbusy

waiting and working. The waitended Friday night when LaSalle (14-1) beat Nordonia (14-1),55-20, in the Division II state fi-nal game at Ohio Stadium in Co-lumbus.

Bob Kruger was La Salle’sfirst football coach. He washired in 1961. That’s when foot-ball and La Salle merged – theirpaths crossed and have re-mained intersected.

Treasurer LarryMcDonough said at theNov. 17 board meeting

that if the board opts tocombine the operatinglevywith a bond issue, thelevywill have to becomeacontinuing levy. He saidthe finance committeehas been discussing thisoption, and the district’sfive-year financial fore-cast would remain strongthrough 2020, barring un-foreseen changes.

District officials saidresponse to a request fordistrict residents to take

The legion of Lancers,and the state record bookswon’t forget what La Salleaccomplished this season.

La Salle spent morethanhalfacenturysearch-ing for a playoff win. Thisseason, in its fifth all-timeplayoff appearance, LaSalle found five in a row.

“At83yearsold,Ineverthought I’d see the day,”Kruger said. “It’s just adream come true forme.”

Kruger, who missedjust two games of thegreatest season inLaSallehistory, said he wasn’t go-ing to miss the big one.Kruger was given a side-line pass for the state

game.“I’ve never seen a team

so versatile,”Kruger said.“To see these guys haven’tgiven up is the greatestfeeling.”

Kruger’saprimeexam-ple of what La Salle em-bodies. He found them,they found him andthey’re both better for it.

La Salle’s an importantplace. For those that expe-rience it, they can’t helpbut take itwith themwhenthey go.

This game broughtthem back. They flew infrom Oregon, New Jerseyand Florida.

Dan McDonald (LaSalle ’85) is an assistanthigh school football coachat Naples (Fla.).

Because his games co-incide with La Salle’s, Mc-

Donald follows the Lanc-ers the only way he can.He gets text updates fromhis brother, a La Sallegrad, and his 14-year oldson.

In his four years at LaSalle, McDonald neverbeatMoeller.

“When we won againstMoeller (34-9 in week six)I texted my brother andsaidifwemakearunintheplayoffs and get deep, I’mcoming up,” McDonaldsaid.

La Salle clinched aberth in the state final lastFriday, beating Olentangy48-13, and McDonald hadhis plane tickets the nextmorning.

“I broughtmy son, he’llbe a freshman next year,”McDonaldsaid. “He’snev-er been to Cincinnati, he’s

never seen where I grewup or La Salle.”

McDonald knew heneeded to introduce hisson to La Salle.

“La Salle isn’t some-thing you accomplish, it’san attitude, a demeanor, acommitment you make,”McDonald said.

ThenewerLaSallegen-erations have picked upwhere their predecessorsleft off.

Ryan Stanchek (LaSalle ’04) played collegefootball at West Virginiaand then with the AtlantaFalcons. Currently, Stan-chek is the offensive linecoach at Alcorn State.

“I think the peoplemake theplace,”Stancheksaid. “La Salle’s definitelya place made by people. Alot of schools have great

facilities and nice thingsbut the people make theplace.”

J.K. Schaffer (La Salle’08) would tend to agreewith Stanchek. Schaffer’sabout as Cincinnati as onecan get. After La Salle, hestarred as a linebacker atCincinnati before playingtwo seasons with the Ben-gals.

Schaffer said his fon-dest memories at La Sallerevolve around the peoplewho taught him andplayed alongside him.

“The La Salle commu-nity is very tight-knit,”Schaffer said. “Guys willgoall over thecountry,butany chance they get tocome back and watch LaSalle, especially in a statechampionship, those guysare going to enjoy every

second of that.”From the beginning, La

Salle spent more thanenough time hearingabout the high-caliberteams they have to dealwith every year. Teamslike Moeller, St. Xavierand Elder.

This season, thoseteams, and the rest of thestate, had their hands fullwith La Salle for a change.Disregard the division,the Lancers proved some-thing.

They proved they be-long. They proved that 50years was long enough.The proved that persis-tence pays dividends.

The Lancers havereached the peak. Now,there’s an entire commu-nity that can’t wait to seewhat’s next.

One of the most diffi-cult lessons for a highschool graduate enteringthe “real world” is learn-ing how to handle per-sonal finances. The Cin-cinnati Police FederalCredit Union sponsoredthe Northwest LocalSchool District Finances101 Event at NorthwestHigh School. The goal ofthe event was to help setyoung people on the rightfinancial path with an in-teractive game full of lifelessons, “Finances 101:Walk the Walk, Talk theTalk.”

The event was a resultof collaboration betweenthe district and creditunion tohelpseniors learn

how to make critical fi-nancial decisions.

During the game, stu-dents were assigned a ca-reer and a correspondingsalary that they used tomake decisions on hous-ing, utilities, childcare,and entertainment op-tions. Along the way, theymight have had a fenderbender, had Uncle Vitovisit them and eat themout of house and home, orhad gotten a bonus atwork.

The game emphasizedhow earnings impact buy-ingdecisions, theeffectofeducation on income, set-ting a budget,what it real-ly costs to run a house-hold, and how to preventspending beyond one’smeans.

The students also at-tended a financial presen-tation by Brian Merrick,

Financial adviser withAmeriprise, that empha-sized the value of highereducation (either techni-cal education or college),choosing a college majorwith good job prospectsand salary potential, andwhat to do in college to bemarketable followinggraduation.

Students meet withguidance counselors tolearn how to fill out theFAFSA, find out about ap-plying for scholarships,andalsoheardabout adulteducationandapprentice-ship options.

A financial adviserfrom Miami Middletownandarepresentative fromthe National Guard werealso on hand to talk to thestudents about options topay for school or the fi-nancial advantages to en-listing in the military.

The Finances101eventis part of an initiative tosupport the core financecurriculum now requiredinOhioschools.Byhavinga day devoted to empha-sizing personal financeand financial literacy is-sues for the entire seniorclass, credit union offi-cials hoped to reinforce

the lessons students learnin the classroom, but in afun and interactive way.

This opportunityraised student awarenessregardingtheseriouscon-sequences associatedwith a lack of understand-ing about financial issuessuch as credit manage-ment, responsible use of

credit cards, the impor-tance of savings, and es-tablishing healthy finan-cial habits.

During the last reces-sion, credit union officialsrealized thatmany peopledid not understand the ba-sics of personal finance.Credit Union senior man-agement thought theycould make an impact byreaching students beforethey graduate high schoolandhave tomakedifficultreal-life financial deci-sions on their own. In2012, the credit unionpartneredwith the North-west district to developthe Financial EducationAssociation with the goalof enhancing the district’spersonal finance curricu-lum.TheFinancial Litera-cy Days are just one oftheir many projects.

In an effort to bring a littleMcAuley spirit to her daugh-ter who is away at college atthe University of South Caro-lina, JoAnn Schutte contactedMcAuley High School’s cafe-teria and askedmanager PamVollman for a carry-out orderof three dozen famous icedMcAuley cookies. A favoriteof all, the students consumemany of these cookies, allbaked in McAuley’s kitchen.

Lynn Schutte, a McNairScholar in her freshman yearat USC, was really happy andelated by the surprise cook-ies. Coincidentally, Lynne hasconnected with and becomebest friends with anotheryoung woman, HannahMarks, who also graduatedfrom a Sisters of Mercyschool, Assumption HighSchool, in Louisville. Theymet each other at a scholar-ship dinner andwere so excit-ed that they both went to Sis-ters of Mercy schools, shar-ing the same values. Theyhave become great friends

andattendMass together reg-ularly.

Lynn, who was the saluta-torian of the class of 2014, ismajoring in psychology. Inthe spirit of service to others,

one of the Mercy values, sheis volunteering at a localCatholic parish in Columbiaworking with autistic chil-dren in their CCD program.

Todaymy kitchen hasthe haunting fragrance ofvanilla. I’mmaking vanil-la extracts for gift giving.

I think oneof the nic-est, andreallyeasiest,gifts fromthe kitchenis home-made va-nilla ex-tract.When Imentionedthis in a

recent column, so manyof you asked about it thatI wanted to share a de-tailed recipe early in theseason.

Kind of beansUse high quality vanil-

la beans/pods that bendeasily. The beans areactually the seed pod of amember of the orchidfamily and are harvestedby hand; thus the reasonfor the cost. If they’rehard, don’t use them tomake vanilla extract, butchop them up and sub-merge in some granulat-ed sugar or salt to flavorthose. Vanilla made withBourbon/Madagascarbeans has the classic,robust flavor that is typi-cally associated withvanilla. Tahitian beansare not as strong, morefruity and floral, whileMexican beans tend to besmooth flavored with ahint of spiciness.

Preparing beansI pound them flat and

then split them length-wise in half or shorter tofit the jar. You’ll see tinyblack vanilla seeds.

Alcohol variations

Vodka has the mostneutral flavor, but youcan use bourbon, brandy,or rum. I like to give atrio for gifts. A good 40%(80 proof) alcohol forvodka will work fine.Vanilla extracts that youbuy usually contain 35percent or 70 proof alco-hol.

InfusingDepending upon the

method, infusing flavorcan take anywhere froma week to a fewmonths.I’m giving two recipeshere - one that is a quickinfuse that’s ready in aweek or so and one thattakes at least a month orup to several months. Ifgiving this as a gift be-fore infusion is done, letrecipient know. It’s fun towatch flavor develop.You’ll know infusion iscomplete by color (any-where from goldenbrown to dark) and espe-cially, aroma. The flavorwill becomemore com-plex over time.

Storing vanillaCool, dry place (not

the frig) where it shouldlast indefinitely. Storeunused beans in freezer.

Hot infuse methodfor vanilla extract

Adapted from Cook’sIllustrated DIY book.

3/4 cup vodka2 vanilla beans,

pounded flat and splitas mentioned above.Place in a one cup con-tainer. I like glass.

Carefully and slowly,heat vodka in largesaucepan on low just

until hot. Be careful,don’t cover or use highheat as fumes could catchfire. Pour over beans,submerging them. Cool toroom temperature, un-covered. Seal and store atroom temperature for aweek, shaking every day.Strain or not.

Rita’s roomtemperature infusemethod

Takes more beans anda longer time, and theflavor is amazing.

4 vanilla beans,pounded flat and splitas mentioned above.

8 oz. vodka or otheralcohol

Place beans in jar.Pour alcohol of choiceover. Beans must be sub-merged. Cover, shake andlet infuse at room tem-perature a month at leastor longer, shaking everyfew days or so. Strain ifdesired.

Tip from Rita’skitchen: don’t tossout the beans

Vanilla salt or sugar. Ifyou strain vanilla, beansare still flavorful enoughto use in salt or sugar.Dry and submerge in

about a cup of salt orsugar. Cover until flavordevelops.

Vanilla, orange andmint extracts:

Readers want toknow: What is acomal?

A reader was passinga gourmet kitchen storeand saw what looked likea heavy crepe pan in thewindow. The sign said“comal.” “What is it usedfor?” he asked. It’s pro-nounced koh-MAHL and

is a very shallow round oroblong flat griddle withlow curved sides, madeof cast iron or steel. UsedinMexican and LatinAmerican cooking fortortillas and toastingchilies, spices and veg-gies. I like the cast ironversion since it’s one thatcan be passed down andgets better the more youuse it.

Dec. 3 questionThe Ohio Senate has passed a

bill which would mandate that apoliceofficerbepresentatany in-tersection or place where redlight cameras and traffic controlcamerasareused. Is thisgood leg-islation?Why or why not?

“Mandating a police officerbe present where red light orspeedingcamerasareusedsurefeels likegood legislation tome.I don’t want to come across asanti-police, I amnot, however, iflaw enforcement is wanting toaccuse me of a traffic crime,charge me a large fine pluscourt costs and negatively im-pact my insurance classifica-tion, then I fully expect them todo the actual work in person.Most people obey traffic lawsmost of the time, but if one ifhalf a second too late gettingthroughayellow lightorgoing5mph over the posted speed lim-it, is it right to have a machineauto-arrest that person? I thinknot. Good job Ohio legislature.”

M.J.F.

“Wow! Here I thought thecameras were to eliminateneeding a salaried police offi-cer sitting, doing almost noth-ing, for hours on end, to catchthe one or two scofflaws thatwere oblivious to the policepresence. Ireally liked itwhenapatrol car used to sit in front ofmyhouse tocatch thenumerousstop sign ignoring motorists inour neighborhood. The numberofchildren in theareamade thisan understandable situation.However, I recognized thatthere were far more important

areas that could use the eyesand ears of someone trained inlaw enforcement. The drug andvandalism problems presentenough work for many moreuniforms than we can afford.We have had somedaytime bur-glaries that have shocked us.They didn’t occur near a sto-plight. If we really believe thatthe cameras are an invasion ofprivacy ... then, they should beeliminated, but if we want aneconomical means of surveil-lance, a patrol sitting in a car isnot the answer.”

D.B.

“I havemixed feeling on thissubject. One of the reasons toput these cameras in place wasto saveonpolicepresenceusingthe police instead for neededpatrols and responding to emer-gencies. This law defeats that.However toomanytownships inOhio have become predatory ...chargingexorbitant feesformi-nor transgressions. Leave thecameras in place, but stop anyautomatic ticketing.”

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers [email protected] withCh@troom in the subject line.

LaRosa’s Family Pizzeria isdedicated to supporting thecommunity-at-large by helpingour neighbors in need. Theholiday season reminds us toreflect on our blessings, whilealso recognizing and assistingfriends and members of ourcommunity facing challengingtimes.

We are particularly drawnto improve the harsh realitiesof hunger and food insecurityfacing members of our com-munity. This continues to be amajor issue in the GreaterCincinnati area, and the de-mands are growing as hun-dreds of thousands of individ-uals and families wonderwhere their next meal is com-ing from. In Greater Cincin-nati, the Feed America’s Mapthe Meal Gap found that thisuncertainty affects 289,940people, including 100,000 chil-dren.

The unemployment rate hasdropped over the past year,

which is goodnews, but theimprovementfails to gener-ate the neces-sary aware-ness of thegrim realityaffecting mil-lions of indi-viduals in ourcountry – hun-ger. Over 2

million individuals in Ohio,almost 20 percent of the pop-ulation, are classified as foodinsecure. However, one-thirdof the hungry population doesnot qualify for federal nutri-tion programs, instead havingto rely on food assistance,from social service agencies.

Financial stress is cripplingfamilies locally, and not justthe unemployed. There aremany individuals working thatare still struggling to makeends meet. The strains havecaused people to change their

lifestyles, borrowmoney fromfriends and family, and evenmove in with others to get backon their feet.

For those individuals strug-gling to make it day-by-day,social service agencies like theFreestore Foodbank are bea-cons of hope. These organiza-tions are hands-on communityadvocates, spending time withtheir visitors and neighbors,getting to know them, anddetermining the best way tohelp. Whether providing food,clothing, job training, healthcare, housing, money manage-ment classes, or transporta-tion, these agencies tirelesslywork for those in need.

I visit our pizzerias fromBoudinot to Clifton, Hyde Parkto Fairfield; meeting withguests to hear about their fam-ilies and interests, their joysand successes, and their chal-lenges and hardships. We prideourselves on being a communi-ty support system and do what

we can to aid those that coulduse a helping hand. We arecalled to action to help those inneed.

This holiday season, LaRo-sa’s is proud to once againsupport the Freestore Food-bank of Cincinnati to fighthunger in our community.Beginning the day afterThanksgiving, each of ourpizzerias began selling BuddyCards (our 2 for 1 pizza dis-count card) for the benefit ofthe Freestore Foodbank.

Our contribution willhelp support the FreestoreFoodbank efforts to providethe necessary resources tomeet our region’s growing

The Ohio State Board ofEducation will vote in Marchto remove an operating stan-dard that requires all schooldistricts to staff five of eightservice positions for eachincrement of 1,000 students.

The positions involve thearts, physical education,health services, library ser-vices counseling, social work-ers. If the rule is eliminated,state standards will no longerrequire public school dis-tricts to employ music, ar-t,and physical educationteachers at the elementarylevels.

If the state board of educa-tion erases the rule, only thesecondary schools wouldhave to provide certified staffmembers in the areas nowcovered by the five of eightrule. A primary factor un-derlying this proposedchange is to give local boardsof education the flexibility todetermine the staff positionsthey deem necessary fortheir school districts.

Given this new power,boards could reduce theirbudgets by simply eliminat-ing the positions or redirect-ing the expenditures to otherareas of the the district'sbudget. For example, a schooldistrict has 5,000 studentsenrolled in its elementaryschools with a cost of $60,000per position for each of theminimum required positions,the board would have $1.5

million peryear at itsdisposal touse for what-ever localneed it deter-mines.

Boards ofEducationthat have awell estab-lished history

of supporting the arts andother educational services forelementary schools will con-tinue to do so. Sadly, boardsthat face declining tax reve-nues or low achievementscore issues may choose touse those monies for otherpurposes. Ironically, once thestandard is removed, charterschool operators might electto simply apply these fundsfor profit to the the school'smanagement company.

At least 60 percent of taxrevenue available for Ohio'spublic schools is provided byfunds generated by renew-able operating levies. Whenlocal communities choose todeny these levies, history hasshown that budget reductionsalways initially occur in thoseprograms impacted by thefive of eight rule.

Surely, most residentsrealize the ultimate negativeimpact such a decision wouldhave on the education of ele-mentary students. Of coursethe students whose familiesdo not have the financial

means to avail themselves ofsuch programs and serviceswill suffer the greatest conse-quences by remaining in theirdistrict of residence. Familiesof the other students willselectively pay for the pro-grams that interest theirchildren, move to a moreaffluent school district, orenroll them in private schoolthat has a comprehensive artsand physical education pro-gram.

The Ohio Constitutionrequires the state to provide athorough and efficient educa-tion for all children. Thestate's Supreme Court hasconfirmed this on at least twoseparate occasions.

Unfortunately, this pro-posed change to the state'sminimum operating stan-dards for education will justbe one more example of thestate and some local boards ofeducation ignoring the court'sdirectives.

In the meantime, the famil-iar elementary school soundsof tennis shoes squeaking onthe gymnasium floor or themelodious sounds waftingfrom amusic roomwill be-come the eerie sounds ofsilence in some of Ohio'selementary schools.

Noel Taylor is a former PrincetonCity Schools administrator and aresident of Sharonville.

Will state eliminate minimumrequirements for arts, PE?

Family gatherings are oneof the great joys of the holi-days. When people with smallcome to visit, be sure thatyour house is ready and safefor them! For instance:

» Avoid using tableclothsor runners that hang over theedge of the table. For a tod-dler, this can be a handholdwhen standing up, and couldresult in dishes, hot food, andcenterpieces crashing down.

» Don’t put nuts, candy, orother small items on low ta-bles. Even small knickknacks

can be a chok-ing hazard.The rule ofthumb is thatanythingsmaller than agolf ballshould be keptout of reach ofsmall chil-dren.

» Keepbathroom

doors closed at all times.» Purses and handbags

should be hung on hooks,

placed in closets, or set out ofreach. Small children quicklylearn that there may be good-ies in a purse, and are likely toexplore and taste whateverthe purse holds.

» If you use candles, keepthem safely out of reach ofsmall children.

» Immediately dispose ofplastic wrap and any smallpacking parts that may comewith toys and other gifts.

» Breakable ornamentsshould be placed higher on theChristmas tree.

» If moving the child’s carseat into a different car, makesure that it’s properly in-stalled.

Homes that regularly wel-come small children should bebabyproofed, but for a briefvisit adults can use the “tag-team” method—ensuring thatone adult is always keeping aneye on small children. In par-ticular, watch for sharp cor-ners on furniture, closet doorsthat can pinch, and decora-tions that may have smallparts.

This time of year is a spe-cial one for children – and forfamilies with children. Com-mon sense and a little plan-ning can make sure that all ofyour child’s holiday memoriesare good ones.

COLUMBUS — Savor the mo-ment, Lancer Nation: The LaSalle football team has won itsfirst state championship.

And the Lancers left abso-lutely no doubt.

TheLancers completed theirmemorable season with a 55-20win over Nordonia in the Divi-sion II state final in front of9,570 at Ohio Stadium Fridaynight.

LaSallesetaDivisionIIstatefinal record with 55 points. Theprevious record was 50 pointsby Youngstown Cardinal Moo-ney in 1980.

Thesepast15weekswill nev-er be forgotten by the La Sallefootball program and schoolcommunity.

At the beginning of this post-season, La Salle won the pro-gram’s first football playoffgame Nov. 7 and that was justthe start of the November andDecember memories in 2014.

La Salle’s first football teamwas in 1962. And now the Lanc-ers will add a state champion-ship trophy to the legacy.

La Salle never trailed on Fri-day night at Ohio Stadium. Andthe Lancers also experiencedsomething common this post-season: A running clock in thesecond half.

La Salle junior running backJeremy Larkin – an AssociatedOhio Mr. Football finalist – con-tinued to impress from thebackfield on Friday. Larkinscored on a 4-yard touchdownrun at the 9:19 mark of the firstquarter to complete a 6-play, 47-yard drive. Junior Nick Veiteadded the extra point and theLancers led 7-0.

Nordonia then added a fieldgoal toclosethegapto7-3a littlemore than five minutes later.

But, Larkin struck again.This time, hemade anifty cut toelude a defender and ran diago-nally to the corner of the endzone for a 45-yard touchdownrun to help make it 14-3.

The touchdown run was vin-tage Larkin as he went over2,500 yards for the season in thefirst half.

Nordonia added a field goalnear the end of the first quartertoclose thegap to14-6at theendof the first quarter.

La Salle junior quarterbackNickWatson scored on a 9-yardtouchdown and Veite added theextrapoint togive theLancers a21-6 leadwith7:49 left in thesec-

ond quarter.Nordonia scored on an 11-

yard touchdown reception byTye Evans to help close the gapto 21-13.

But theLancersownedthefi-nal minute of the second quar-

ter. Sophomore Jarell Whitescoredona3-yard touchdowntomake it 27-13 with 39 secondsleft.

Then senior defensive backAvery Larkin scored on a 44-yard interception return for atouchdown with 12 seconds leftin the half to help make it 34-13.Avery Larkin and Jeremy Lar-kin are cousins.

LaSalle added twoadditionalscores in the third quarter. Sen-ior John Junker blocked a puntand ran it back 15 yards for atouchdown tohelpmake it 41-13.Junker also recovered a fumblein the quarter.

La Salle senior Phil Ander-soncaughta23-yard touchdownpass from Watson to help makeit 48-13with 7:32 left in the thirdquarter after Veite added theextra point. The running clock(deficit of 30 or more points inthe second half) started afterthe kickoff.

Senior quarterback EricGreene scored on a 4-yardtouchdown run and Veite addedthe extra point to give the Lanc-ers a 55-13 lead with 5:19 left.

Nordonia added a late touch-down when senior Alex Alders

caught a 20-yard touchdownpass to help make it 55-20 with2:49 left.

The Lancers averaged 47.5points this postseason enteringFriday night.

The Division II state finalwas the third of three gamesFriday in Columbus. Therewere three games on Saturdayat Ohio Stadium, too.

La Salle sold over 3,000 pre-sale tickets as of Friday morn-ing.

Ponchos were seen every-where on theLaSalle side of thestadium as rain was consistentmost of the day.

Thestate football finalswereat Ohio Stadium for the firsttime since 1989.

La Salle was the first areateam to play for a state champi-onship at Ohio Stadium sinceMoellerwas theDivision I state

runner-up in 1989.Entering Friday’s game,

Princeton was the most recentarea school to win a state foot-ball title at Ohio Stadium whenthe Vikings won the 1987 Divi-sion I state championship.

Afterhosting the state cham-pionship games throughout the1980s, natural grass was in-stalled in Ohio Stadium in 1990and the Ohio High School Ath-letic Association was asked tomove the state finals to anotherlocation.

Stark County had been thehost of the state football finalsfor thepast24yearsprior to thisseason.

The state finals will be re-turning to Ohio Stadium for2015 and nothing has been de-cided regarding the future ven-ue beyond that.

SHORT HOPS

Coming off a 44th place fin-ish at theDivision I statemeetlast year, McAuley wants tobuild on that success.

“I’ve never had a teamwiththis much depth,” said fifth-year coach Eric Stock. “Ournumbersaren’t ashighaswe’dlike.Anyonecan stepupat anytime.”

The Mohawks will followsenior Amanda Deller, whoqualified for state last year inthe 100 and 200 freestyle. Sen-ior Morgan Hennard and ju-nior Erika Lucas are bothback; both were instrumentalin qualifying for the districtrelays.SophomoreEmmaBar-bee is going to be importantthis year for McAuley, saidStone.

Overall, McAuley’s youngand focused on its potential.Depth has been absent in re-cent years, so the Mohawkshave embraced competitionthat they hope translates tofaster times.

“There’s never been thismany girls competing forspots on relays,” Stone said.

Winning in thewater has al-waysbeen thenormforSt.Xa-vier. The Bombers have won35 state team titles and thisseason they’ll be looking fortheir seventh Division I statetitle in a row.

St. X returns nine state-qualifying swimmers and onediver from last year’s champi-onship team. The returningstatequalifiersareseniorsJoeBerno, Grant Carr, MitchellFrey, GrahamLindquist, LiamMoran, James Wray; juniorsMatt Slabe and Nathan Jonas,and sophomore Grant House,as well as junior diver DrewFitzgerald.

“We’re optimistic thatthrough the course of the sea-sonwe can get better,” said St.Xavier coach Jim Brower.“You always like to have agood, strong senior class withsome great leadership. Wehave those two things goingfor us.”

House is the defendingstate champion in the 100 and200-meter freestyle. Slabe,House and Frey were three ofthe four legs in St. X’s 400-me-ter free relay team that tookthe title last season.

The Bombers don’t shyaway from competition, theyrealize how important that isin order to get better.

“It’s fun toknowthatyou’vegot some good competition tohelp motivate the day-to-day,”Brower said. “This is always areally strong district forswimming. We’ve had a nicelittle rivalrywithMoeller,whoagain, has a very good team.”

Brower said that theBomb-ers have 94 swimmers in theprogram this year. St. X start-ed its trek for another title onDec. 4 at home against Elder.

A positive work ethic, abusinesslike approach and ex-perience shouldmake La Sallea tough team in the water thisseason. As usual, the Lancerswill have first-class confer-ence competition alongside St.X andMoeller.

La Salle has 30 swimmerson the roster, themost in a sea-son in at least the last 25 years,per 24-year coach Mike Lien-hart. Of the 30, 21 swam lastyear and five of those are re-turning district qualifiers.They are seniors Drew Meis-ter, Sam Redd, Stephen Coscoand Dan Richter, as well as

sophomore Anthony Hale.You can also count on sen-

iors Justin Mays, LoganBrauning and Sam Minges toplay supreme parts alongwithjuniors Ethan Stock, CameronNichols and sophomore DavidOrth.

Lienhartpointedout thatLaSalle has two strong incomingfreshmen in Daniel Nader andCole Trotta.

There’s talent in the waterat Colerain this year. The Car-dinals’ boys’ team has somekey pieces back this season.Sophomore Joel Dennis andsenior Alec Wickham both re-turn after qualifying for dis-trict in relays last year.

They’ll get some big helpfrom seniors Jonah Lewis andMattMetzner, aswell as fresh-man Griffin Bachman, whoseventh-year coach CarolineMcIver said can do a little ofeverything.

“They have a lot of talent,”McIver said. “A lot of themhave committed more to thesport in the offseason thanwe’ve had in the past.”

The girls’ team is highlight-ed by its depth. There are 25girls on the team this year.

Keep an eye on sophomoreKerry Tepe who was an indi-vidual district qualifier lastseason. Senior Samantha Goe-belwillprovide leadershipandexperience, while freshmanHailee Trotter brings some

fresh speed to the team.McIver likes that the girls

have some youth and plenty ofsenior leadership.

“It will be exciting to seehow they (seniors) encouragethe younger swimmers andget them into it,” said McIver.

Northwest High SchoolcoachScottEllis is expectingagood season despite havingonly three returning swim-mers from last year’s teams.

“We have a lot of new kidsthis year,” Ellis said. “But theyare progressing fast and ourreturning swimmers are alsoprogressing. It should be agood sesaon.”

JennaBehrmannandEmilyPuccini, swimming the back-stroke and breaststroke, re-spectively, have assumedleadership roles for the girls’team. Manuel Fozzio has be-come thede facto leader of theboys’ team.

Ellis said he is more of afreestyle swimmer.

Roger Bacon will have togrow up through its under-classmen this season with onesenior on the girls’ team andjust two on the boys.

Even though they’re young,the Spartans are aiming highthis season with their sightsset on the GCL Coed champi-onship meet at the end of theregular season. Coach BenStone is also hoping for somerepeat success at the districtmeet. Roger Bacon lost lastseason’s district qualifiers tograduation.

On the boys’ team, look forsenior Tony DiMario and ju-nior Drew Suffoletta to pro-vide some experience andleadership.

The girls’ team will be ledby the lone seniorKelseyHea-ton who’s looking for her firsttrip to districts this season.Stone has also been impressedwith sophomore Renee Finan,who should do well in thesprint events, and freshmanSophie Hunter. Hunter’s tal-ented, especially in the breast-stroke, and Stone thinks shecould have a shot at state.

“We have some young tal-ent that should do reallywell,”Stone said.

Despite the efforts ofauto manufacturers andthe government, Carfax-.com estimates theremay be more than 1mil-lion used cars for salethat have been recalled,but never repaired.

Many of these vehi-cles can pose an extremesafety hazard, but thebuyer may never find outabout the problem untilit’s too late. A used carcan look good, even drivegreat, but have hiddendefects that can put aperson’s or family’s lifeat risk.

That’s what happened

to AdamBudden-berg, ofLawrence-burg, afterhe boughta 2001Isuzu Ro-deo SUV.Budden-berg says,

“It looked good, it drovegood and that’s all Ithought at the time.” Hepaid $6,000 for the vehi-cle and thought every-thing was fine until threemonths later when, whileriding with his mother,they heard a big bang

and managed to pullsafely to the side of theroad.

Adam’s mother, Kathy,said, “It was actuallybroken, the bracket un-derneath the frame wasbroken.” They checkedthe internet and learnedmore than 11,000 IsuzuSUVs had been recalledtwo years before – in-cluding his. But Adam’svehicle had never beenrepaired.

The Buddenbergslearned corrosion hadcaused the suspensionbracket to break fromthe frame thus affectinghandling and increasingthe risk of a crash. Ad-am’s father, Bobby, says,“To think my son, mywife, my grandson couldhave been hurt and pos-

sibly killed in this andnobody wants to be re-sponsible for it. It’s justupsetting to me.”

Unfortunately, no oneis responsible becauseAdam bought the SUV“AS IS” so the dealer whosold it stated in writinghe assumes no responsi-bility for any defects.

I’ve always advised toget a used vehiclechecked out first by anASE Certified Mechanicbefore any purchase soyou know exactly what’swrong. Bobby says,“When we did take it offthe lot to test drive it, thedealer wanted it back in15 minutes—that was allhe was going to giveus…So, evidently, hedidn’t want us to haveanybody check it out.”

The dealer wrote meto say the Buddenbergsnever asked if they couldget it checked out by amechanic prior to pur-chase and said he wouldhave permitted it asked.Of course, if a dealerwon’t let you get a vehi-cle checked out prior topurchase, that’s a redflag and you should lookelsewhere.

Under the law, be-cause Buddenberg’svehicle is more than 10years old Isuzu doesn’thave to fix it, but it of-fered to buy it back.

I checked with a lot ofused car dealers andwhile some say they docheck for unrepairedrecalls, clearly not every-one does. But a new fed-eral lawmakes it much

easier for everybody tocheck out a particularvehicle prior to pur-chase.

You can now type inthe VIN or Vehicle Iden-tification Number onlineat the National HighwayTraffic Safety Admini-stration website. Here’sthe link: www.nhtsa.gov/Vehicle+Safety/Recalls+&+Defects. It will tellyou if that type of vehiclehas been recalled andwhether that particularvehicle has been re-paired.

Snowand iceand frigidtemperatures often leadto frozen pipes.

“When temperatureshover in the teens or dropto single digits for an ex-tended period of time itputs a strain on yourplumbing system, whichcan weaken pipes andcause breaks,” said Dave

Bennett, Greater Cincin-nati Water Works fieldservices manager.

To help protect resi-dents and business own-ers from the expense andheadache of dealing withfrozenpipes,GCWWhasafew tips to help keep thebursts at bay:

» Seal cracks: caulkaround door frames andwindows to reduce incom-ing cold air. Winter windswhistling through over-looked openings canquickly freeze exposedwater pipes.

» Opencupboarddoorsin the kitchen and bath-rooms: Water lines sup-plying these rooms arefrequently on outsidewalls. Leaving the doorsopen when the temper-ature is below freezing al-

lows them to get moreheat.

» Let faucets drip inbelow-freezing weather:This will help keep aneven flow of water mov-ing through your internalplumbing systemandpre-vent freezing.

» Protect outdoorpipesandfaucets: Insomehomes, the outside faucethas its own shut-off in thebasement in addition tothe shut-off valve for theentirehouse. If youhaveaseparate valve for outsidefaucets, close the valve,remove hoses and drainthe faucet. If you don’thave a separate valve,wrap the outside faucets(hose bibs) in newspapersor rags coveredwith plas-tic.

» Insulate indoor pipes

or faucets in unheatedareas: pipes in internalunheated areas such asthe garage or crawl spaceunder the house should bewrapped with insulatedfoam. Wrap the entirelength of the exposedpipeand cover all valves andpipe fittings.

If your pipes do freezeand you can pinpoint thelocation of the freeze,Bennett suggests wavinga hairdryer back andforth to apply slow steadyheat to return water flow.“Neveruseanopenflame,which could cause a fire,”he says.

For more information,residents and businessowners can contactGCWW’s Customer Con-tact Center at 513-591-7700.
