The escalating cost of med-ications is causing the Syca-more Township Fire Depart-ment to consider increasingits billing to insurance com-panies for EMS runs.
The increase would helpoffset the cost to the town-ship, Capt. Jerry Cooper said.Overall, medication costshave escalated 10 to 15 per-cent, Chief Rob Penney said.Some specific medicationshave increased even more.For example, the heroin over-dose reversal medicationNarcan was $17-$18 per vile.It now costs $140 per vile, hesaid. The cost increase is di-rectly related to supply anddemand.
Years ago, hospitals re-stocked the EMS units forsupplies used during emer-gency runs.
The insurance industry
changed that practice whenthey learned that hospitalswere billing the patients, Pen-ney said. That left local fireand EMS departments footingthe cost of restocking theemergency vehicles. So thepractice of EMS units billinginsurance companies began,he said.
The challenge for Syca-more Township is that withabout 80 percent of the com-munity falling in the 60-plusrange, many residents are onMedicare, the chief said.Medicare typically pays asmall percentage of the actu-al bill. For example, he said,Medicare may only provide$175 of a $900 bill.
The department billed in-surance companies for about$1.2 million this past year,Penney said. The resultingrevenue was about $550,000.
“We struggle with it,” hesaid. “We’re really losingmoney.”
Residents who are trans-ported to the hospital by anEMS unit are never directlybilled, Penney said.
All billing goes to insur-ance companies.
Another area where theSycamore Township Fire De-partment is looking to cutcosts is 9-1-1 calls.
Currently all residents areencouraged to dial 9-1-1 in anemergency. These calls arehandled by Hamilton Countydispatch and cost the town-ship more than $18 per call.Cooper said that the depart-ment is currently investigat-ing practices successfullyused by other fire depart-ments in using a -number forcertain situations.
To keep current on theseitems, other news and safetytips, residents can visit thefire department’s new web-site at www.sycamoretown-shipfire.org.

given me the opportunityto really enjoy collegewithout constantly worry-ing about funds, and I’mvery excited for my fu-ture,” she said.
Palazzolo is lookingforward to majoring inbusiness managementwith a minor in communi-cation. She’s not decidedon a college.
Madeira’s personal fi-nance class is a coursetaught for college creditthrough the University ofCincinnati. Jordan saidthat she’s been using theBudget Challenge simula-tion as part of her course
for the past four years.Madeira requires all stu-dents to take the semestercourse as a graduation re-quirement.
“The simulation is agreat way to expose stu-dents to budgeting andimportant money man-agement techniques,” shesaid. “They also contrib-ute to a 401K and deal withinsurance deductibles,car crashes and laptoptheft as well as credit cardspending.”
The cash rewards re-sulting from this round ofthe game were “surreal,”Jordan said. “What thismoney means to these stu-dents and their familiesmakes me feel so proud,”she said. “For many ofthem, this money means
they will not have to bor-row as much money to at-tend college. I am im-pressed with my studentsfor how dedicated theywere to the game as wellas how they managedtheir strategies in differ-ent manners.”
The H&R Block Bud-get Challenge is a teen fi-nancial literacy programthat rewards high schoolclasses for masteringreal-world budgeting andpersonal finance deci-sion-making. MadeiraHigh School was one ofonly 15 winners nation-wide. More than 32,000high school students par-ticipated in the challenge,according to a releasefrom H&R Block.

Deer Park CommunityCity Schools
The Deer Park CommunityCity School District kicked-offYear Two of the IBM Men-torPlace Program with an open-ing ceremony with IBM, theGreater Cincinnati STEM Col-laborative (GCSC), membersfrom the University of Cincin-nati, the Talent Pipeline Initia-tive - Partners for a Compet-itive Workforce, and Deer ParkCommunity members.
Deer Park is the first Ohioschool district to collaboratewith IBM on their MentorPlaceprogram.
At the event, Jeff Langdon,superintendent of Deer ParkCommunity City School Dis-trict, accepted a $6,000 checkfrom IBM. This amount is acombination of a $4,000 IBMCorporate Citizenship & Corpo-rate Affairs (CCCA) discretion-ary donation to support Educa-tional and Workforce Devel-opment initiatives and a $2,000grant from the volunteer men-tors through the IBM “On De-mand Community” grant pro-gram.
“The IBM MentorPlace pro-gram is an excellent opportuni-ty for both the mentees and thementors. Our students are able
to interact with someone who isworking as a professional in thetech world who, in turn, is vol-unteering their own personaltime to give back to the stu-dents in Deer Park,” said JasonSpelic, Deer Park Jr./Sr. HighSchool Counselor.
“The self-growth that thestudents do and the selflessnesson the mentors part makes thistruly a positive experience forall involved.”
This project began whenGCSC discovered IBM’s com-mitment to Cincinnati and edu-cation. IBM’s MentorPlace is akey component of IBM's com-mitment to public educationand raising student achieve-ment.
“The Greater CincinnatiSTEM Collaborative, or GCSC,is thrilled that Deer ParkSchools is launching its secondyear of the eMentoring [Mar-ketPlace] project with IBM. Weknow that STEM [Science,Technology, Engineering, andMathematics] professionals,such as those at IBM, have theunique ability to engage stu-dents, spark their interest inSTEM careers, and inspire theirSTEM learning. We look for-ward to the positive impactsthese committed IBM employ-ees will have on participatingstudents’ futures, and indeedour region’s future,” said MaryAdams, GCSC Program Man-ager.
Through this corporate vol-unteer program, thousands ofIBMers around the world arementoring students with a focuson academics. In Deer Park, 25local IBM employees will pro-vide the Deer Park studentswith online academic guidanceand career counseling, whileletting them know that adultscare about their issues andconcerns.
“We are coming off a fantas-tic first year of the mentoringprogram with Deer Park stu-dents, and beginning what Iknow will be an even greateryear two of the program. Icouldn't be more excited tore-engage with Deer Park stu-dents, parents, staff and faculty,as well as our partners from theGreater Cincinnati STEM Col-laborative and Partners for aCompetitive Workforce. It issuch a privilege to connect withstudents and walk alongsidethem as they begin to deter-mine the trajectory of theirlives,” said Dean Kuroff, IBMDirector, Global Process Ser-vices.
Since the 2013-14 school year,the IBM employees collaborat-ed weekly with 25 Deer Parkstudents in grades 7-9, one-on-
one, via the online icouldbe.orgweb portal curriculum. Thisinteraction with a mentor pro-vided students with the decisionmaking skills and thought proc-ess needed to excel.
“This mission is of para-mount importance for our stu-dents, our communities and ourcountry as we better prepareour young people to compete inan increasing global workforce.These students are just reallyneat and eager kids, trying tofigure out who they are, whatthey want to be, where they'regoing, and how to get there...Ican't think of a more worthyinvestment,” said Kuroff.

With wind chill tem-peratures dipping belowfreezing, I’m having tofill up the bird feederstwice a day and check onthe girls/chickens everyfew hours to bring them
fresh wa-ter. I want-ed to tellyou, too, tocheck onneighborswho areelderly orshut in.Bringthem abowl of hotchicken
broth to which youcooked in cheese tortelli-ni and a handful of freshspinach. A sprinkling ofParmesan is good in thesoup, too. Nourishing andwarms one all over!
Remember I told youanything fermented isgoing to be popular thisyear due to the healthbenefits? Kimchi is oneof those and a popularKorean dish. I got thisrecipe from a fellowcookbook author at afood demo during MotherEarth News Fair lastyear. Tasty, and a goodplace to start when mak-ing homemade Kimchi. Iplan on making this onFox 19’s morning showfor Rob Williams, whoabsolutely loves Kimchi.
Mild Kimchi1 head Chinese or
Napa cabbage, about 3pounds, cut into 2” pieces
1 Daikon radish, about4”, peeled and thinlysliced
1 carrot, thinly sliced1/2 cup pickling salt
4 garlic cloves,minced
2 tablespoons Koreanchili paste or 2 teaspoonsChinese chili paste/saucewith garlic
1 teaspoon peeledminced fresh ginger root==
1 teaspoon sugar or totaste (I think you couldsubstitute honey)
Combine cabbage,radish, carrot and salt inbowl. Mix to combine andadd ice water to cover.Let stand for 2 to 6 hours.
Drain, reservingbrine. Add garlic, chiipaste, ginger and sugarand mix well, usinghands.
Pack into 2 quart can-ning jar. Add enoughreserved brine to cover
and fill to top of jar. Cov-er to exclude air.
Set jar on saucer tocatch overflow that hap-pens when fermentationbegins. Store in dark,cool place.
Begin tasting after 1day, and refrigerate up to5 days. It will continue toage and develop flavor.Keeps several months.
Tip from Rita’s kitch-en: Go to taste on flavor-ings. I like it spicy sowould use more chilipaste.
My favoriteguacamole
This has a smoky fla-vor due to the chipotlepeppers. Nice for SuperBowl coming up.
3 large ripe Hass avo-
cados - peeled, pitted andscooped out
2 limes, juiced1 teaspoon salt1/2 cup diced red onion Chopped cilantro to
taste3/4 teaspoon cumin or
to taste1 minced clove garlic
or more to tasteChipotle peppers in
adobo to taste (puree infood processor and thenstore in frig or freezer;this is much easier tomeasure out than thewhole peppers in sauce)
2 Roma tomatoes,diced
Mash the avocadosvery gently with potatomasher. Some people laythe avocado down flatand cut it into very small
pieces. Regardless, youdon’t want to overmashor it will become soupy.
Stir in lime juice totaste, and salt. Stir inonion, cilantro, cumin,garlic, peppers. Stir intomatoes. Serve withchips.
Tips from Rita’skitchen:
Ripening avocados.Although avocados aremature when pickedfrom the tree, they arenot ripe. Place in paperbag. This traps the ethyl-ene gas they produce andhelps to ripen. It willripen at room temper-ature in 3-5 days. Skincolor will darken andflesh underneath will bea bit soft.
Hass. These comefrom California with abuttery texture. The skinis tough and durable —ideal for shipping, andfor use as a scooping cupwhen removing flesh.
Hall. From Floridaand are bright green,smooth skinned avoca-dos.
Good for you: Loadedwith potassium, folicacid, vitamins C and E,also fiber and hearthealthy monounsaturatedfat.

A publication of
America should not supportdictatorships.
It appears axiomatic now,but we have supported thelikes of Pinochet and SaddamHussein and have no problemswith having full relationshipswith countries like China. Theindignation that the likes ofMarco Rubio and Red Cruz areexpressing about doing busi-ness with dictatorships, ringsas hollow as the emptying cellsof Guantanamo.
As a former citizen of Bra-zil, whose current presidentwas tortured under a US-backed military regime, I haveto ask where the indignation ofthe Cuban-American politi-cians when other Latin Amer-icans were being repressed
and torturedby the Gener-als in BuenosAires, Santiagoand Brasiliaback in the’70s and ’80s?
Cuba mat-ters because itis a glaringexample to therest of theworld of the
problems of our foreign policyand our politics. We say weembargo the island becausethey are a communist dictator-ship. Yet we don’t embargoChina. We say we don’t like theway they hold prisoners with-out trial. And yet in Cuba, onGuantanamo we do the same
thing. We say we don’t thinkthe Cuban people should livelives of deprivation, but weembargo them anyway. Inshort, we have made enemiesof the Cuban people by givingtheir government something tohold against us. We empowerour enemies with embargoes.
It is time for us to startmaking friends in our ownback yard, if not actually fab-ricating enemies. Venezuela isunfriendly in part because wesupported – or at best ignoredthe misdeeds of – regimes socorrupt that even Chavezlooked good. Brazil, the biggestnation in Latin America andthe worlds eighth largest econ-omy is not only presided overby someone who was tortured
by a regime we supported, butwho we spied on as well, aftershe became President. Boliviais also slipping away, and Ar-gentina is being run by popu-lists, that find an easy target ina superpower that ignores itsclosest neighbors. You maydetest Putin as much as I do,but he certainly pays attentionto HIS neighbors far more thanwe do.
Cuba matters because it isthe key to closer ties with LatinAmerica who have long viewedour relationship with Cuba asan old vendetta, a grudge un-worthy of a superpower. Cuba,for its part has in the past fo-mented revolution elsewhereand been a thorn in our side.But since the collapse of the
Soviet Union, Cuba has sup-ported talks between the Co-lumbian government andFARC and famously exporteddoctors to where they areneeded in many countries.
No, the Cuban governmentis not a “Free and Democratic”government by our standards.Neither is that of Egypt, SaudiArabia, China and many oth-ers. We don’t appear to have aproblem with them. I say it’stime to build bridges and teardown fences. It’s time to pro-mote free trade, and freedomthrough dialogue. Let’s start inour back yard. I’ll drink a CubaLibre to that.

Jan. 7 questionWhat should be the top
priorities for the Republican-controlled Congress (Houseand Senate)?
“Changing the public per-ception and informationabout why legislation is notacted upon. The Americanpeople are tired of the Consti-tution being ignored. Aftereliminating the hideous tax ofObamacare, legislation toensure new employmentshould be the top priority.This would mean, amongmany other things, a viablemeans for companies to pro-vide health care benefits,possibly the Keystone Pipe-line, and certainly an agree-ment to publish and read alllegislation before voting.Requiring legislation to de-scribe its basis in the Consti-tution would be a great start.”
D.B.
“To abolish Obamacare,put in Keystone Pipeline, tohave control of our borders,and allow our country theright to have the 10 Com-mandments back in ourschools and courtrooms.”
Mary Ann Maloney
“Do something! We paythese people far too much todo nothing. If we wantednothing done for a lot of pub-lic money, we would just hireMike Brown.”
M.J.F.
I am hoping that the newCongress can finally dosomething (anything) thisyear. These last several Con-gresses have been so dividedthat nothing moved forward.I hope they move on the def-icit spending and the nationaldebt which are out of control.Secondly they could approvethe Keystone Pipeline to getthe U.S. and Canadian shaleoil to refineries more safely.Now with the cheaper gas(temporarily) increase thefederal excise tax paid at thepump to help fix the high-ways and bridges across theUnited States. My guess is wewill have two more years ofnothing much being accom-plished.
“The Congress is muchlike the UN; there is a lot oftalk but very few results.Never have so many done solittle for so long. Go figure!”

CH@TROOM
THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONSome people have criticizedrecent school closings due tocold weather. What do youthink about the practice ofcanceling classes when themercury dips?
Every week we ask readers aquestion they can reply to via email.Send your answers tormaloney@community press.comwith Ch@troom in the subject line.
We all get the winter blahsfrom time to time. For some,though, it’s more than just ablue mood. By some estimates,as much as 20 percent of thepopulation suffers from a mildto moderate form of SeasonalAffective Disorder (SAD) orwinter depression.
Older adults are at particularrisk – almost one in seven peo-ple over the age of 65 arethought to exhibit signs of clin-ical depression, according tomental health experts.
What is SeasonalAffective Disorder?
Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD) is a set of symptoms,including depression and unpre-dictable mood swings, which
occur when ambient light levelsdiminish during the fall andwinter as the sun moves pro-gressively lower in the sky. Thedepression and mood swingsare often associated with a dipin the serum blood level ofserotonin, a neurotransmitterthat helps to regulate mood, andmelatonin, a serotonin-derivedneurotransmitter that regulatessleep patterns.
Mammals (including hu-mans) have an area of the braincalled the pineal gland, whichregulates the production of
melatonin. Some researchersbelieve that this region of thebrain is able to detect smallchanges in ambient light andsun angle over time, and thusupregulate or down regulate thebrain’s serotonin and melatoninproduction.
Some researchers believethat people who suffer SADmay simply have an overlyactive pineal gland, or mayproduce less serotonin on aver-age than a person without thecondition. Either way, it is aserious, life-affecting problem.
What you can do to beatthe winter blues.
The keys to feeling betterare getting more light and moreexercise. If the weather isn’t too
cold or icy, take a stroll for20-30 minutes twice a day. Ifyou can’t get out, draw up theblinds and open shutters overwindows to allow more ambientsunlight into your home.
If you have a fireplace, useit. Sitting in front of an eveningfire on cold, dark winter nightsmay help to keep your melato-nin production normalized. Ifthat doesn’t help, there arespecial light therapy devicesthat SAD sufferers can use tohelp reduce symptoms.
Serotonin re-uptake-inhib-iting medicines (SSRIs) likeProzac and Zoloft can also behelpful in breaking severe de-pressive cycles, but these medi-cations must be carefully mon-itored by a doctor. You cannot
simply start and stop them atwill. They take several weeks tobuild to effective levels, andyou must also wean off themgradually.
Moderate exercise increasesserum serotonin and also trig-gers the production of the pain-relieving hormone dopamine. Aregular exercise program canhelp reduce the symptoms ofdepression and even alleviatesome chronic pain. Not only canseniors combat the winterblues, they can increase theirwellness and strength, by get-ting more active.

The obvious increase inadvertisements for weight lossprograms, gym membershipsand smoking cessation planscan mean only one thing; theNew Year must be here!
It is human nature to assessour lives during such a time,including deciding what im-provements are needed. Un-fortunately, experts estimatethat only about 15 percent ofNew Year’s resolutions achieveany level of success. So why areresolutions so popular and yetso ineffective?
In most cases, what we wishto change about our self is aworthy goal; lose weight, get inshape, stop smoking, stop drink-ing alcohol, or stop spending somuch money. In reality howev-er, many of our behaviors arerooted in either an addiction(alcohol, gambling, sex, smok-ing), or result from a previoustrauma or current stressor.
How many of us, for ex-ample, eat more when we arestressed or unhappy? The issuetherefore is not about losingweight, but rather is about whatis causing us to eat more. Inreality, addictions, and traumaor stress-related behaviorscannot be overcome by shearwill-power. Most serious behav-ioral modification requiresintentional treatment and stra-
tegic planning. So does that
mean weshould give upon New Year’sresolutions andthe hope ofchanging ourlife for thebetter? Abso-lutely not!Positivechange can
occur and here are some waysto take the chance out ofchange.
» Keep a short list. Most ofus create too many resolutionsand are quickly discouragedbecause we are overwhelmedby all that needs done.
» Be specific in what youwant to change. Most goals aretoo broad and difficult to mea-sure. For example, most of uswant to lose weight. A betterway to phrase it is to lose 15pounds by May 1.
» Create a strategic plan toreach your goal. If your resolu-tion is to improve your comput-er skills, then be intentional.Enroll in a computer class,build a library of referencemanuals, and find someone whocan answer your questions.
» Modify your habits. Chang-ing major behaviors often be-gins by changing smaller in-
trinsic habits. If you are tryingto lose weight but stop at thebakery on the way home two orthree times a week, take a dif-ferent route home. When youcrave a snack, substitute fruitfor sweets.
» Identify impulsive behav-iors. We are more vulnerable toimpulsive decisions when welose track of our goals. If youare trying to save money, don’tgo shopping for fun. And if youmust go to the store, have aspecific list of items you needto avoid the impulse to buyother things you want.
» Celebrate small victories.Track your progress and cele-brate the incremental positivechanges that are occurringalong the way.
» Recognize when you needhelp. Some changes require theassistance of professionals.Don’t hesitate to seek the helpof doctors, counselors, or aspiritual leader for issues toocomplex for us to handle on ourown.

Only once since the 2002-03season has Moeller HighSchool’s basketball team wonfewer than 20 games. Barringan unforeseen undefeated runfrom now through the statetournament, the Crusaders willfall short of 20 wins for the firsttime since the 2005-06 seasonwhen it finished 15-7.
Sometimes the cards don’tfall your way.
The luxury of a 24-2 seasonlast year was a senior lineup,plus 6-foot-9 Butler commitNate Fowler. With Grant Benz-inger, Jack Anton, Tre’ Hawkinsand Adam Gigax gone to gradu-ation, the Crusaders were hitwith a double whammy in No-vember when senior Fowler in-jured his foot and had surgery.
Instead of building his team
around Fowler, 25th-year headcoach Carl Kremer has had tobuild without his three-yearvarsity pivot.
On the current roster, onlyKevin Kerley and Grant Pitmanplayed significant minutes ayear ago.
“We play about nine or 10guys,” Kremer said. “We’ve hadsome really good moments andthen we’ll have some timeswhere we make a lot of mis-takes. I don’t remember everhaving a team with this manynew guys.”
Moeller started the season4-1 before making their annualholiday trip. Financed throughfundraisers and used to pro-mote team bonding and goodcompetition, the Crusaderswent outside of Orlando thisseason where they lost to Ovie-do (Fla.) 47-44, beat Williston(Fla.) 69-35 and lost to TaylorCounty (Ky.) 61-57.

MADEIRA — It’s been quitethe turnaround this season forthe Madeira High School girlsbasketball team.
The Amazons are undefeat-ed (11-0) and ranked No. 1 in TheEnquirer Division II-IV areacoaches’ poll.
After a 10-12 season a yearago, early success has not flood-ed the Amazons’ heads. Madeirahas a philosophy — “one notchat a time” — and a sense of hu-mor.
When third-year coach Ha-ley Warden introduced the pre-cept, her team then drew a beltin the locker room. They’re cur-rently filling that belt up, anotch at a time.
“They do a good job of keep-ing a little head. They watchenough college basketball andfootball to know that rankingsdon’t really mean that much,”Warden said.
While winning 11 straightgames is impressive, even moreimpressive is the way in whichthe Amazons have done so.They’re scoring more than 72points per contest and holdingopponents to just 32. They canget out and run offensively, andthey can shoot. On defense, theybring pressure and they’re ac-tive.
Four seniors illuminate adeep, talented roster. The sen-ior leaders are Celia Kline, hertwin sister, Mallory Kline,guard Robin Blocksom and cen-ter Nikki Macke, who averages10.2 points.
Celia’s the Cincinnati Hills
League leader in points pergame with 21.5 and the assist-per-game leader with 5.5. Shehasn’t been held under 17 pointsin a game this season.
“She’s the coach on the floor— the girls look up to her,” saidWarden of Celia.
The underclassmen havebenefited from a strong seniorclass and vice versa. MarinKline, the third sister, is a fresh-man who hopes to pick up rightwhere her older sisters leaveoff. Freshman Mary Englert isfirst in the CHL in steals pergame (3.7) and third in assists(4.1). Junior Jamie Grob hashelped Macke in the paint. Grobaverages 9.1 rebounds per

The legacy is impossible forMount Notre Dame’s basket-ball players to ignore: Five Di-vision I state championships,six straight appearances in thefinals, and a 154-13 record from2004 to 2009.
But when Dr. Scott Rogersreturned last season for hissecond stint as Cougars headcoach after guiding them to theschool’s first two state titles, hechose to dwell on the presentrather than the past.
“I don’t reference that timeperiod too often,” said Rogers,who left for three seasons tocoach at Indian Hill. “It was im-portant for our players to quitlooking up at the banners andmake their own mark.”
After going a combined 41-51 over four seasons, MNDwent 17-7 last year in Rogers’return to the helm. This season,the Cougars are 10-0 for thefirst time since 2009, whenthey went 27-1 en route to afourth straight state title.
“It’s hard sometimes tocome to practice and see allthose great names,” said seniorforward Naomi Davenport, theCougars’ leading scorer. “We
want our name up there too. Wewant to be like them. But wewant to make our own legacy.We’ve matured.”
MND, ranked No. 1 in theEnquirer Division I coaches’poll, hosts Girls Greater Catho-lic League rival and 4th-rankedMcAuley at 7:30 p.m. Thurs-day.
Rogers prefers not to putmuch emphasis on the past, buthis expectations of the playersin terms of preparation haven’tchanged much since his firstseason at MND in 2001.
“(Last year’s team) wasn’tused to practicing as hard aswe practiced, or being held ac-countable for their play,” Rog-ers said. “We’re not the mosttalented team in the city thisyear, let alone the state of Ohio.But you won’t find many teamsthat work harder.”
And, you won’t find manyplayers in the state better thanDavenport.
Through eight games, theUniversity of Michigan com-mit was leading the GGCL with16.9 points per game andranked second in the league inrebounding. Davenport erupt-ed for 31 points in a 73-53 vic-tory over Ursuline on Dec. 9.
Last season, Davenport av-
eraged nearly 19 points andmore than 12 rebounds. Shealso led MND in scoring as asophomore.
But, the Cougars aren’t aone-person show. Six MNDplayers average six points ormore. They’ve scored 70 ormore points three times andlimited opponents to fewerthan 40 points on seven occa-sions.
“Totally unselfish,” saidRogers of this year’s squad.“They don’t care who scores.They work so hard, and theyget it. Last year was probablythe reverse.”
Davenport believes thisyear’s team is as close-knit asany group during her career.“We keep things within the cir-cle,” she said.
MND has six seniors and re-turned all five starters fromlast season. Sophomore MariaPisciotta is the team’s second-leading scorer and a rising star.
And, Rogers is there to keepthem level.
“When we feel the pressure,he keeps us focused on the nextgame, the next play,” Daven-port said. “He gets us locked in.We’re as good as he makes us,and he’s as good as we makehim. He has raised the bar.”

“We’re such an up-and-
down team racing up anddown the floor,” Wardensaid. “In the past, they’vegotten tired. This seasonI’ve yet to have anyoneask to come off the floorbecause they’re tired.”
Madeira has thrivedunder a team chemistrythat more closely resem-bles a family atmosphere,according to Warden.
The Amazons getalong, on and off the floor.That much is obvious.

er to tie at the buzzer wentin and out. The TaylorCounty loss was also nip-and-tuck against a highly-rated team in the Blue-grass State.
“I love this team’s workethic,” Kremer said un-daunted. “I really think wecan be a factor down theroad.”
The new and youngerplayers have all contribut-ed. Junior Trey McBrideleads the team in scoringand is third in the GreaterCatholic League-South.He also tops the league inrebounding as a 6-footguard. Junior point guardNate Georgeton is dishingout around six assists pergame to lead the GCLSouth and 6-7 junior SamMcCracken leads inblocked shots and is sec-ond in field goal percent-age.
Sophomores RileyVoss, Keegan McDowelland Matt Dotson are all inthe 6-4 to 6-5 range andhave made contributions.On the senior end, GrantPitman is the only otherCrusader besides
close. Oviedo was the de-fending large school statechampion in Florida andthe game was tied in thefourth quarter. A 3-point-
McBride to average dou-ble figures and BradMunz has also hit someshots.
Waiting in the wingsfor Moeller are more fa-miliar names like Daven-port and Tabler and manyothers.
The immediate goal forKremer is to be relevantsooner rather than later. Ifanything, his young menwill be as battle-tested asany team coming into thetournament. The closestcupcakes for Moeller arefurther up the road atKroger, but certainly noton their schedule.
“I’m not sure anyonehas played the schedulewe have so far,” Kremersaid. “We’re not quiteready for those games, butyou’ve got to be willing togo through the process.”
The process usuallypays off for the eight-timeGCL coach of the year,who has led Moeller tothree state champion-ships, a state runner-up, astate semifinal and morethan 450 victories.

INDIAN HILL — Muchlike last season, the IndianHill High School boys bas-ketball team is fightingwith Wyoming and Madei-ra for hoop supremacy inthe Cincinnati HillsLeague.
Madeira has won the
last three seasons, sharingthe title with Wyoming in2014. However, the Cow-boys appear to be the fron-trunner this winter as theMustangs lost a number ofveteran performers.
“They’re extremelygood,” coach Tim Burchsaid of his crosstown ri-vals. “I think they have themost talent in the league
as far as athleticism andbasketball. It’s a fun gamefor the CHL.”
The Braves lost a pairof non-conference gamesin December to Andersonand Boone County. Janu-ary will feature toughroad games at Finney-town, Amelia, Madeiraand Mariemont.
“We had a good win
against Hughes, but we’rekind of up and down still,”Burch said.
Leading the Braves isjunior shooter Nick Hei-del, who is among theleague leaders in scoring,blocks and steals as a 6-foot-2 guard. After going0-13 from the field in theAnderson loss, he has av-eraged double figureswith a high game of 28against Norwood Dec. 22.
“He’s shooting the ballwell and scoring,” Burchsaid. “We have to haveproduction out of him forus to be a good team.”
Right behind Heidel isa freshman of similar sizein Colin Shaw. Until lastyear with 6-foot-5 ReedAichholz, Burch had nev-er kept a freshman on var-sity. This season, Shaw isjust a few buckets behindHeidel in scoring averageand is one of the team’sbetter rebounders.
“He’s going to be spe-
cial,” Burch said. “Hestarts for us and has one ofthe best work ethics I’veever seen. He’s learningthe varsity speed. At ev-ery practice you see howhe wants to get better.”
Shaw reminds hiscoach of former three-year starter Austin Trout,
a 2012 grad who led theBraves in scoring his ju-nior and senior years.
Often dishing the ballto Heidel and Shaw is sen-ior Austin Schneider, whowas averaging aroundseven assists per game atpresstime.
“On the court he is ba-sically our true leader interms of how to play thegame and how hard youhave to go,” Burch said.“As long as he canbreathe, we keep him outthere.”
Making up for the lossof last year’s 6-foot-8 twintowers Lucas Gould andKarl Koster is sophomoreAichholz. His presencehas freed up other “glasscleaners" like seniorsDaniel Harder and JoshBurgher.
Hopefully over a boutof holiday flu, Indian Hillhas a road weekend aheadat Finneytown Jan. 16 andat Amelia Jan. 17.
