A small parcel of city landthat has been used by WyomingCity Schools for many yearsnow belongs to the school dis-trict.
Wyoming City Council unani-mously voted March 16 to trans-fer the half acre of property onthe high school campus. Councilmembers Jim O’Reilly and Jen-
ni McCauley were not present.That patch of land includes
the school’s pool house and anarea that Wyoming High Schoolseniors often visit to eat lunch.
“The land is already used bythe school, so it made sense forthem to own it,” City ManagerLynn Tetley said.
The property was trans-ferred for $1.
Wyoming High School usesthe pool house for its tennis pro-
gram, among other purposes.“This agreement is another
example of the highly produc-tive and collaborative relation-ship between the City of Wyo-ming and the Wyoming SchoolDistrict,” School Board Presi-dent Todd Levy said. “Thisproperty transfer allows forgreater flexibility and land usefor our school athletic pro-grams.”

Wyoming has transferred a half-acre parcel behind Wyoming High Schoolto the school district.
Bike and pedestrian trailplanning is shining a spotlighton the Village of Evendale as therecipient of the Frank F. FerrisII Planning Award.
The Evendale Bike and Pe-destrian Plan won the award inthe Development of a Plan cate-gory. The Frank F. Ferris IIPlanning Award was created bythe Hamilton County RegionalPlanning Commission in 1995 torecognize and honor the life-long dedication of Frank F. Fer-ris II to municipal, county andregional planning activities. Itis awarded annually to a localplanning commission or plan-ning committee whose effortshave contributed to the eleva-tion of planning principles,greater awareness of the valueof planning, and improved qual-ity of life.
Michele Gottschlich is a pastVillage of Evendale recreationcommission member and presi-dent. During her term on thecommission, work on the bike/
pedestrian plan was initiated.Thanks to support of the Even-dale Council, the plan was de-veloped over a five-year period,she said. URS engineering as-sisted in the three-phased plandevelopment process.
“We, as part of the recreationcommittee, were constantlythinking process improve-ment,” she said. “We examinedthe village master plan and howthe recreation concept needs totie in.”
Early in the planning proc-ess, the committee focused onthe development of goals andobjectives which required get-ting feedback from the publicand other village stakeholders,Gottschlich said. Results over-whelmingly demonstrated ahigh interest in walking and bik-ing trails. These resultsprompted the recreation com-mittee to consider how to en-hance the village’s recreationexperience through activemovement, she said.
One area where residentsstrongly supported seeing traildevelopment was along the Mill
Creek. Working with the MillCreek Watershed Council, Gott-schlich said that it’s easy to en-vision something in Evendalethat’s similar to the Little MiamiBike Trail - maybe a little res-taurant at the trail head, someshops and a kayak launch pad.
The trail along Mill Creek, asincluded in the plan, is one of themore costly features in the plan.It’s about 3.5 miles with eachmile costing about $1 million todevelop, Gottschlich said. Themost expensive part is bridgesthat might need to be built.There are many grants andfunding opportunities avail-able, she said.
Thanks to the planning proc-ess, the first effort along theMill Creek is already underway.
Evendale Council voted toapply for a matching grant fromthe Clean Ohio Funds GreenSpace Conservation Programoffered through the Natural Re-sources Assistance Council.
The grant is for improve-

A new EMS unit, equippedwith hydraulic power cots, willsoon be answering emergencycalls in Sharonville.
City Council approved thepurchase of a new EMS units,part of a collaborative effortwith the city of Blue Ash. FireChief Ralph Hammonds saidthat by buying two EMS vehi-cles, both cities would savemoney.
The move is part of theNortheast Fire Collaborative,made up of the Blue Ash, Love-land-Symmes, Mason, Sharon-ville and Sycamore fire depart-ments, which coordinates pur-chases and training among thedepartments to make the mostefficient use of each depart-ment’s budget.
Sharonville will sell a 2009ambulance to make room for
the new unit. The old unit, with80,000 miles, has been re-mounted once already, Ham-monds said.
The new EMS unit will cost$225,000, and funds from thesale of the old ambulance willgo back to the fire department.That price reflects a $5,000savings due to the collabora-tive purchase, Hammondssaid.
Council also approved thepurchase of four hydraulicpower cots, from Stryker Inc.,the sold manufacturer of theemergency equipment.
The cots will be boughtthrough a grant from the OhioBureau of Workers’ Compen-sation, which will fund part ofthe purchase.
“They will minimize liftingon behalf of paramedics,”Hamnmonds said of the cots,which are raised and loweredat the touch of a button.

ments for a piece of prop-erty along the Mill Creekjust north of the bridge onCunningham Drive. A to-tal of $300,000 would beavailable for the project,should the application be
successful. Since it’s amatching grant the vil-lage is responsible forabout $75,000 which couldbe achieved through in-kind work by the villagemaintenance department.The Mill Creek Water-shed Council is assistingthe village with the grantapplication.
There are other less
costly projects that arepart of the plan which arealso under way. The Even-dale Recreation Commis-sion is examining oppor-tunities to improve sig-nage and markings alongvarious streets, roads andpark land to connect to thevillage complex and thecity of Blue Ash’s SummitPark. A Safe Routes toSchool application is un-der development to facili-tate safe bike and pedes-trian travel around a two-mile radius of EvendaleElementary School.
Early in the planningprocess, Evendale co-founded the nine commu-nity Connecting ActiveCommunities Coalition.Connectivity to the sur-rounding communities isan important part of de-veloping active recrea-tion and trails, Gott-schlich said.

Forest Park engineertech Matt Yunger saysthe work, which will bedone by contractor PrusConstruction, was set tobegin March 30.
The improvementproject will stretchalong Northland Boule-vard from WaycrossRoad to the city of ForestPark corporation line atstate Route 4. It’s beingpaid for with a federalgrant, money from theOhio Public Works Com-mission’s State CapitalImprovement Program
and local funds. Yungersaid the city is paying forabout 10 percent of theproject.
Yunger says the pro-ject includes the re-placement of concretecurbs, center islandcurbs and landscaping,signals, signage, light-ing, pavement markings,drive aprons, sidewalkrepairs, transit shelters,benches and trash recep-tacles, full depth pave-ment repair and new as-phalt. He said the street-scape will use stampedconcrete rather thandecorative pavers be-cause they wear betterand are easier to main-tain.
The signal work is ex-pected to be completedfirst; road work will startshortly after and be donein two phases.
Phase One includesthe area from stateRoute 4 to SouthlandBoulevard. Phase Twoincludes the area be-tween Southland Boule-vard and WaycrossRoad. Once both phasesare complete, the entireproject length will be re-paved.

A year described as “alittle bit busy” for theSharonville Fire Depart-ment included thousandsof emergency runs by astaff their chief describedas excellent.
Fire Chief Ralph Ham-monds presented the de-partment’s annual reportduring City Council’s Jan.27 meeting.
“Our goal is, if you call911, you should hear si-rens before you hang upwith the operator,” Ham-monds said. “We are reli-ably doing this.”
Hammonds cited a bet-ter-than 90 percent aver-age response time of fourminutes for an ambulanceto arrive at the scene, withsix minutes for firefight-ers.
The Sharonville FireDepartment’s three sta-tions responded to a totalof 2,264 EMS runs and1,676 fire runs in 2014.
Of those, 148 runs to In-terstate 75 and 222 to In-terstate 275 “keeps us alittle bit busy,” Ham-monds said.
“The people are whatmake the Sharonville FireDepartment,” Ham-monds said, citing firstaid and CPR education, aswell as tutoring sessionsseveral times a week atSharonville Elementary.
Other programs in-clude safety camp andTouch a Truck.
“The people carry outthe mission of the fire de-partment on a daily ba-sis,” Hammonds said ofthe emergency workers.“Events we have are allplanned and staffed by
members of the depart-ment.
“These are the samepeople who perform fireinspections, install detec-tors, provide EMS stand-by for SharonFest, chari-ty 5K races and the Cham-ber of Commerce carshow.
“They do all of thiswhile answering,, in 2014,3,940 calls for emergencyservices within the city ofSharonville.
“They also have to do61 hours a year in servicetraining. We’re real big oncustomer service.
“That’s our goal, that’swhat we’re doing,” hesaid. “That’s the missionof the department: to pro-vide excellent customerservice, fire prevention,suppression and EMS byany means possible.”

Shirley Miller and herhusband used to go sight-seeing with their chil-dren.
Riding through ForestPark was so appealingthat they moved there 42years ago. Shirley isproud to say that she wasborn and raised in LincolnHeights when everyoneknew you and who you be-longed to, and children
playedsafelyoutside.She lovedjumpingdoubleDutchandFrenchrope,playedjacks,tug-of-war, rode
her bicycle and rollerskated at Johnson’s rollerrink on Wayne Avenue.
She spoke fondly theabout good old days: “Atthat time there was no vio-lence, my mother alwaysknew where I was, knewmy friends and every-body trusted everybody. Iremember sleeping out-side on a pallet when itwas too hot to sleep in-doors. We would walk toGlendale and Woodlawnto pick blackberries onChester Road past Glen-dale-Milford Road in thelate 1940s when it was allfarmland. We’d watch outfor an old bull that had amean reputation. Exceptfor the jitney, there wasno bus service, so we rodeit to Lockland and walkedto the Wyoming bakery,the Roxy movie theaterand Hermann’s drug storeto buy hamburgers andmalts. We bought Sunday
passes for about 50-75cents and rode all overCincinnati on the city bus-es. If the jitney hadstopped running when wegot back, we walked homeup Wayne Avenue. Thoseare good memories.”
She used to grow canta-loupe, watermelons,green peas, okra and to-matoes in a small vegeta-ble garden. Shirley’s flow-er beds had tulips, gerani-ums and year-round ros-es. She says when herbody failed, she stoppedgardening. Once very ac-tive, Shirley used to linedance at several loca-tions, and then tired of it,so she stopped. She alsoused to enjoy bowling atBrentwood, but injuredher shoulder and neckfrom not handling the ballproperly, so she had toquit that, too.
Now her “hobby” is vis-iting the casinos. Her son,Tony, taught her how toplay chess. She became sofrustrated when shecouldn’t beat him that shewould awaken him beforedawn every morning andafter church to play untilfinally she won. Shirleyhasn’t played with himsince.
Shirley is the youngestof four children with anolder sister and two broth-ers, now deceased. Ms.Fanny Piersawl taught pi-
ano, but Shirley’s fatherdecided not to let his babygirl experience the sterntreatment her siblings en-dured. Mrs. Isley, motherof the famed Isley Broth-ers singers, was a muchkinder teacher. Shirleysays she no longer plays,but has tender memoriesof her youngest son, Ad-aryll, playing her favoritetune, “Pomp and Circum-stance,” and playing inchurch during Holy Com-munion. She gave the pi-ano away after he trag-ically died.
Shirley attended St. Si-mon Elementary Schoolin kindergarten and first-grade, and is proud of thatseven generations of herfamily have attended andserved at St. SimonChurch for more than 75years beginning with hergrandmother SopherniaWhite, mother Erma Rai-ney and aunt Ethel Free-man.
Now, Shirley, her threechildren, nine grandchil-dren, 17 great grandchil-dren and two great-greatgrandchildren continuethe tradition. When hertwin grandsons becameacolytes, their godfather,The Rev. Deacon JamesMobley, encouraged themto say good morning to the
congregation afterthey had snuffed out thecandles on the altar at theend of the service. Almost30 years later, the customremains.

Mount Notre DameHigh School
» Mount Notre Dameheld its Senior CapstoneShowcase Evening.
As part of MND’s sig-nature Capstone initia-tive, seniors are chal-lenged to create a serviceproject that demonstratesleadership and initiativewhile benefiting a non-profit organization. Thesenior year Capstone Pro-ject involves a significantinvestment of both timeand talent as the seniorscombine both service andleadership to impactagencies and individuals’lives.
It is the culmination ofa four-your journey forMND students under theMAP (My Action Plan)program. The MAP pro-gram is designed to en-gage students with expe-riences during their highschool years that will fos-ter leadership skills andempower them in all areasof their lives.
This year, all of MND’s179 seniors completedtheir projects, impactingnearly 100 non-profit or-ganizations and countlessfamilies in Cincinnati andbeyond. The Senior Cap-stone Showcase Eveningprovided an opportunityfor each senior to shareher experience and cele-brate the impact her pro-ject made in the commu-nity. More than 130 pro-fessionals served as pan-elists for the event,representing the busi-ness, education and socialservice communities.
Panelists provided ver-bal and written feedbackto the seniors on theirwork and asked questionsrelated to their projects.
“St. Julie Billiart, thefoundress of the Sisters ofNotre Dame de Namur,believed in the impor-tance of educating girlsand the belief that weneed to ‘teach them whatthey need to know forlife,’” said Christine Men-cer, MND faculty mem-ber and MAP coordinator.“The entire project utiliz-es real-life skills, fromcommunication to organi-zation to problem solving.These are skills that fol-low them through life.”
Karen Day, MND asso-ciate head of school anddean of academic devel-opment, said, “CapstoneEvening fills our commu-nity with pride. We knowthat every senior hasgrown in responsibility,leadership and serviceand yet has travelled apersonalized pathway tothat empowerment. Thisis yet another way that theMND experience isuniquely special.”
Now in its fourth year,MND’s Capstone initia-tive has been widelypraised and MND has be-come a valuable resourcefor other schools (locally
and nationally) who areseeking to begin a similarprogram.
» Mount Notre Damewas proud to continue itsleadership in the third an-nual Night for the Fightevent Friday, March 20, atXavier University’s Cin-tas Center. The overnightcancer-awareness eventbenefiting CancerFreeKIDS involved more than20 schools and approxi-mately 700 studentsacross the Greater Cin-cinnati and Northern Ken-tucky area.
The event seeks to en-courage the next genera-tion to join the battleagainst pediatric cancer.
Throughout the night,students participated inactivities meant to edu-cate, motivate and in-spire.
A record $93,180 wasraised at this year’s event,which will directly fundresearch on childhoodcancers.
MND students and fac-ulty played an integralrole in the creation ofNight for the Fight, whichwas founded in August2012. MND senior KellyHiggins of Montgomery,was committed to raising
awareness for pediatriccancer, having been per-sonally affected throughthe loss of her father in2012.
As a result, Higginshelped establish Night forthe Fight and hopes theimpact of the event willlive on.
“With the turnout wehad this year, it really ex-cites me to see how thisevent will continue togrow for the years tocome,” Higgins said.

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.

A very sweet lady fromWyoming called me becauseshe was so thrilled with thecare her pet got from Mike’sMobile Veterinary Service,located in Fairfield.
She wants everyone to knowhow wonderful they ministerto both owners and their ani-mals. Dr. Michael Cohen, hiswife, Eleni, and registeredveterinary technician JimWestendorf of Goshen all havea passion for animals. Theirpersonal pets rule the roosts.Two St. Bernards, five cats anda map turtle crack the whip atthe Cohen home. The businessfocuses primarily on cats anddogs. The Cohens also own asmall non-profit cat rescuecurrently housing eight cats.
Dr. Mike and Eleni just gotmarried Aug. 31, 2014. She isthe manager of the businessand gladly filled me in on howMike began as a mobile vet in1999, working out of his jeepwhile employed by other clin-ics in this area. Four years agohe bought a veterinary truckbecause the business in-creased from three to fivedays per week. You can makean appointment Mondaysthrough Fridays from 10 a.m.to 6 p.m., but that doesn’t meanthose are his working hours.Your 6 p.m. appointment maylast several hours into thenight, depending upon the careyour pet needs.
No matterhow long ittakes, Dr. Mikewill see itthrough. Sincethey cover awide area fromDayton, Ohio, toNorthern Ken-tucky, they actu-ally begin theirday well before10 a.m. Theykeep long hours
and as the weather gets warm-er, it seems to get busier. Dur-ing all the bad winter weather,they stayed open.
Most visits are by appoint-ment, but there are also emer-gency visits. Maybe one daythey will figure out a way toclone themselves, but in caseswhen calls come that are farapart, they refer what theycan’t cover to other veterinaryservices.
Final goodbyes are reallydifficult for them as well asowners. They choose whatthey do because there is adefinite need to establish rela-tionships with pets and ownerswhereby owners trust that youare providing the best possiblecare every day.
One experience Eleni feelsprivileged to have experiencedinvolved a neglected hybridMalamute/wolf canine Mikehad been called to euthanize.He refused because it is not
his policy to euthanize ahealthy animal, which this dogwas, notwithstanding havingbeen subjected to horrendousconditions: chained to a tree,muddy and hadn’t been ongrass in months.
He had been catching hisown food from whatever camewithin his reach. Eleni contact-ed Malamute rescues aroundthe country and posted thesituation on their Facebookpage. A kind family hired FredRussell, whom Eleni calls thebest dog trainer in Cincinnati,to turn the dog around and also
teach the family how tocope with an animal that wasdistrustful and afraid.
Now this pooch lives in aspacious enclosure, walks on aleash, accompanies the familyon outings and no longergrowls to be left alone when heeats. It is a 180-degree turnaround. He even walks intoMike’s truck in a trusting man-ner. There were challenges,but Fred spent a lot of timewith the dog and the familydidn’t give up. Now they havea special pet that knows he isloved. Call 513-505-4043 whenyour pet needs help.

In February, the unemploy-ment rate in the U.S. droppedto 5.5 percent. That’s goodnews, and let’s hope unemploy-ment keeps improving in thefuture.
The bad news is that theunemployment number doesn’ttake into account the hugenumber of people who havebeen so discouraged in theirjob hunt that they’ve stoppedlooking. It counts people whoare working part-time just asmuch as if they were workingfull-time. People who are un-der-employed – let’s say theyhave a master’s degree, can’tfind anything in their field, andare flipping burgers at a fastfood outlet (it happens) – arecounted as if they were fullyemployed.
So the unemployment num-
ber doesn’tnecessarilytell the wholestory.
Fortunately,there are nu-merous stepswe can take tohelp grow jobsin today’seconomy. Be-cause 70 per-cent of new
jobs in this country are createdby small businesses, theyshould be the focus of our ef-forts. As chairman of theHouse Small Business Commit-tee, I think there are four areaswhere improvement couldmean considerable job growth.
First, government regula-tions. Congress and the federalbureaucracy are constantly
bombarding small businesseswith new rules, regulations,and red tape. Rather than fo-cus attention on what it is theydo, small business ownersspend too much time fightingoff the government. We shouldstop overregulating.
Second, taxes are too high,and too complicated. If I wereking, I would do one of twothings relative to taxes. I’deither throw out our existingfederal tax code, and replace itwith a flat tax, or at least aflatter, simpler tax code.
Or I’d get rid of the IRS andfederal income taxes altogeth-er, and replace them with anational sales tax. However,I’m not king, so the likelihoodof either happening anytime inthe near future is pretty slim.
So what should we do rela-
tive to taxes? Reform the taxcode; simplify it; broaden thebase and lower the rates. Con-gress should announce anychanges in tax laws earlyenough for small businessesand individuals to plan ahead;not do things at the last minute,as usually occurs.
Third, improve access tocapital. In order to expand,purchase new equipment, orsometimes even meet payroll,small businesses often have toborrow money. Getting a loanthrough the Small BusinessAdministration can be a pa-perwork-heavy nightmare.Passage of legislation knownas Dodd-Frank during the firstterm of the Obama presidency(when Democrats controlledCongress) has added additionallayers of bureaucracy to the
lending process in this country.Dodd-Frank should be re-pealed, and the SBA lendingprograms should be stream-lined.
Fourth, improve trade op-portunities for American smallbusinesses. 96 percent of con-sumers around the globe re-side outside the borders of theUnited States. Yet only 1 per-cent of small businesses selltheir goods or services abroad.Even a slight improvement inthis area could result in hugenumbers of American jobsbeing created.
So we’ve got our work cutout for us. Let’s get started.

The Cowboys finished firstin the Cincinnati Hills Leaguelast spring for the first timesince 2009. The team lost CHLfirst-teamers Nik Plattenburgand Mike Montgomery to grad-uation but return four startersin senior Myles Bourbon andWill Carter and junior ChrisMurray and Jay Klein. SeniorKieren Thomas, juniors NolanMorley and Alex Sfyris andfreshman George Arenas fillout the roster.
Bourbon and Carter are re-turning CHL first team players,with Murray making secondteam and Klein honorable men-tion. Bourbon made the state Di-vision II tournament in doubleslast season.
“We have three seniors whoare very strong players,” Hop-penjans said. “Not only are theystrong players, they are suppor-tive teammates and fantasticrole models for our youngerplayers. The team is cohesiveand has a lot of fun on the court
while being focused and com-petitive at the same time.They’re respectable and coach-able young men, which is impor-tant to me as their new femalecoach.”
After their return fromspring break, Wyoming is atMilford April 8 and home withKings April 9.
Now in his eighth season,Rob Caress has his Princeton
squad looking up after a bottom-half finish in the highly-talentedGreater Miami Conference lastseason.
Caress has the entire 2014team returning. They wereyoung last year and plowedthrough a rebuilding season inthe hope it would pay off thisyear and further down the line.
This season, Caress said histeam is “senior-led” with Matt
Arroyo ringing the bell. Caresssaid Arroyo, who will play nextyear in college at Wittenberg,has been the best player in theprogram since he arrived as afreshman. Arroyo will headlinein the first singles spot.
Returning for his second var-sity season at second singles isAbe Williams, a former basket-ball player who Caress de-scribed as an athlete who cancompete. At third singles issophomore Joe Cunningham,also a soccer player, and stillrelatively new to the sport, butCaress said he’s picking it uppretty well.
The doubles teams aren’t setin stone but look for senior JoshHardin, junior Bryan Creed,sophomore Damon Foster,freshman Dustin Medina andjunior Andrew Vaaler to con-tribute.
“We have some guys that arevery talented,” Caress said. “Wehave athletic kids that are inex-perienced but I’m excited to seetheir potential. We’re a youngteam but have three seniorssteering the ship and paving theway for some of these youngerguys that are gonna be tough.”
The only place to go is up inthe Greater Catholic League-South for Moeller HighSchool’s tennis team as St. Xa-vier has had a stranglehold onthe championship dating back
to when The Beatles were stillplaying concerts (1965).
The Crusaders tied for sec-ond in the league at 3-3 and were14-5 overall last season undercoach Alex Thompson. Theyhave had four consecutive win-ning seasons.
The roster is young with fivejuniors and two sophomores.Juniors Michael Tepe, KelleyPeter and Alec Hoelker are re-turning starters along withsophomore Max Berky. Sopho-more Michael Keyser alsoshould figure into the equationand juniors Joe Burns and Jus-tin Cashman are also on thesquad.

Greg Sewell doesn’t remem-ber what he had for breakfastthe day he and Princeton facedElder in a Class AAA basketballregional semifinal March 17,1972.
Pity. Whatever he ate helpedfuel what turned out to be a per-formance for the ages.
Sewell, leading the Vikingsas a 5-foot-9 senior guardagainst a Panther team that was22-0, erupted for 40 points in astartling 85-77 win before acrowd of 10,363 at CincinnatiGardens.
Barely a day goes by thatSewell isn’t reminded by some-body about that electric day.
“Quite a bit, to be honest – es-pecially when I run into WestSide guys, people who workhere, or (Greater CatholicLeague) guys or Elder guys,”said Sewell, who lives in Masonand now is the Internet salesmanager for Jake SweeneyBMW in Springdale. “It seemslike there were a million peopleat that game over the years.”
The folks who actually wereon hand saw Sewell miss justthree shots. He was 11-of-14from the field and sank all 18 ofhis free throws – 18-of-18 in a re-gional semifinal against a teamthat thrived on gritty defense.He reportedly finished twopoints short of tying the region’ssingle-game scoring record.
“It was just one of thosegames,” recalled Sewell, whogrew up in Glendale. “You getinto a zone, and I was in a zone. Iremember one shot. I faked anddrew (a defender) up in the air.He came down on me, I threw itup from about 15 (feet) and itwent in.”
Sewell, who turns 61 on April4, was perhaps Princeton’s bestall-around athlete at a critical
time in school history. Theschool absorbed LincolnHeights High School in his ju-nior year, adding to the Vikingmix athletes from a programthat had won the Class A basket-ball and baseball champion-ships in 1970.
Lincoln Heights coach JohnHillard took over as Princeton’sbasketball coach and led theVikings to the 1970-1971GreaterMiami Conference champion-ship.
“He was able to define rolesand responsibilities,” Sewellsaid. “We ended up winning 22games my junior year, but I wasthe only returning starter fromthat team. We lost a lot, but wehad some pretty good expecta-tions.”
Sewell recalls the Vikingsovercame the mid-season sus-pension of a couple of starters tofinish in a three-way tie withMiddletown and Hamilton Taft–with Garfield, one of two Ham-ilton high schools at the time –for the GMC championship.They were 18-4 after beatingHamilton Taft in a districtchampionship.
Elder was 22-0 behind aphysical defense that was al-
lowing an average of just 52.2points per game. Senior BobKramer earned honorable men-tion on the United Press Inter-national Class AAA all-stateteam, while junior Steve Grotereceived the same notice on theAssociated Press version. ThePanther, coached by Paul“Hans” Frey, also feature SteveGrote’s older brother, Bob, aswell as Ron Hartoin, Mike Herrand the Miller twin, Henry andGeorge.
Sewell, an accomplishedbaseball player who would earna baseball scholarship to East-ern Michigan, knew many ofthem from playing for summerteams such as the Storm Club,which was based at HaubnerField in White Oak.
As usual, Elder was support-ed by a large, fervent fan base.
“I remember coming out thelocker room and walking up theramp,” Sewell recalls about theregional semifinal. “One wholeside of the court was purple.They were the best team we had
faced up to that point – well-coached and solid. We HAD tohave a great game to beatthem.”
Instead, the Vikings cameout nervous, committing nineturnovers in the first quarter,which ended with the Panthersleading, 19-15. They still led, 35-30, with 2:32 left in the first halfwhen, Sewell said, Hillardcalled a timeout and sent theVikings back on to the court in a3-1-1 trapping press.
Elder wasn’t able to adjustquickly enough. Just like that,Princeton went on a turnover-fueled 16-0 run and ended thehalf having outscored the Pan-thers by a game-changing 18-1for a 48-36 lead.
Sewell believes Elder’s unfa-miliarity with the GMC helpedthe Vikings, who were the firstGMC team the Panthers hadfaced that season.
“In the GMC, we scored a lotof points,” Sewell said. “We rana lot. Elder was more defensive-oriented. We were able to turn
them over, score a couple ofquick buckets, get a couple ofthree-point plays and rattlethem a bit.”
Sewell and the Vikings alsocapitalized on Elder’s focus onstopping inside players RickWhite and Dwight Mitchell,who’d led Princeton to the dis-trict-championship game overPrinceton.
“We were pounding it downlow quite a bit,” Sewell said. “Iwas only averaging about 12 inthe tournament, and they werescouting that. Frey was drop-ping down low on our big guysand I hit a few shots early.”
Sewell scored seven points inthe first quarter and 12 in boththe second and third quarters.His jumper sparked Princeton’sstartling run, which featuredthree three-point plays.
Princeton kept up the pres-sure after halftime, opening upa 79-66 lead with 4:24 left in thefourth quarter. The Panthers

went on a 9-0 run of theirown to cut that lead to 79-75, but Sewell sank fourfree throws in the last 1:26as the Vikings held on forthe upset.
“He was the differ-ence,” Hillard told report-ers after the game. “Eldercut us off inside, but Sew-ell’s outstanding shootingdid the job.”
Sewell also finishedwith six assists, givinghim a hand in 52 of Prince-ton’s 85 point, while Whitefinished with 22 pointsand 11 rebounds. Bothteams made 29 field goals,but Elder needed 56 triesto Princeton’s 47, and theVikings outrebounded thePanthers, 29-24.
Princeton also shot 36free throws and made 27,while Elder had to settlefor 19-of-29.
After those nine first-quarter turnover, Prince-
ton committed only 11more the rest of the game.
The Vikings faced an-other undefeated team inSpringfield North for theregional championshipthe next night. North fea-tured 6-9 Craig Taylor andfuture Miami star RandyAyers, but Princetonpulled off another upset toearn it first berth in thestate semifinals. The Vik-ings beat Akron Central-Hower, 60-54, in the semi-finals before falling, 78-67, to Cleveland East Techin the championshipgame.
Sewell and White bothwere charter members in2004 of Princeton’s Ath-letic Hall of Fame, andSewell also was inductedin 1990 into the Buddy La-Rosa Sports Hall of Fame.
Sewell hopes the mem-ories don’t fade as Prince-ton closes the doors on itsold high school, includingthe gym.
“There are a lot ofblood, sweat and tearsfrom that court,” he said.

With just two seniorsand three returning start-ers, Princeton will beyoung and working ongrowing together as ateam.
The returning startersare all young in sopho-more setter James Walz,sophomore middle block-er Jamal Hines and juniormiddle blocker ClayvonBrayboy. Hines is a pres-ence in the middle, he ledthe Greater Miami Con-ference in sacks last foot-ball season.
“Our top three return-ing they’re still so young,”coach Tametta Duck-worth said. “You can see abig difference this year instrength and maturity.Those three are a goodcore and if we can justbuild around them weshould be okay.”
Joining the Vikingsthis year is senior JordanBradley who was a bas-ketball standout forPrinceton in the winter.Duckworth said it’s Brad-ley’s first year playingand he seems to be pick-ing up the sport well.Bradley’s joined by seniorJames Spells and it’s alsohis first year playing.
“Because it’s such ayoung team, we’re justtrying to develop more co-hesiveness and learninghow to play together,”Duckworth said. “There’sstill some hesitation andwe need someone to stepup and show a little moreleadership. That’s whereJordan may play a bigpart; he was a point guardon the basketball team sohe knows how to lead.”
Like many of their of-ferings, Moeller HighSchool has had tremen-dous success in boys vol-leyball. The Crusadershave state championshiptrophies from 2004, 2005,2009 and 2012.
They were Division Istate semifinalists in 2013and coach Matt McLaugh-lin is looking to get themback in the state hunt thisseason after finishing sec-ond in the Greater Catho-lic League-South last sea-son. Moeller finished be-hind St. Xavier and tiedwith Elder at 3-3 in theleague and 18-8 overall.
Returning starters forMoeller are senior liberoChris Hackman, senioroutside hitter JustinDeyhle, senior middle
Nick Wright, junior mid-dle Jason Bruggemannand junior outside hitterDavid Wernery. Juniorright-side hitter ConnorMcNamara is always ex-pected to be a factor.
Hackman made GCL-South first team last yearas a junior.
McLaughlin, comingback from an off-seasonappendectomy himself, isproud of his team’s off-season work ethic.
“We added condition-ing to out off-season pro-gram and I think our play-ers have come into theseason in great shape,” hesaid. “They’re a very ath-letic group of players andI think it’s going to paydividends for them.They’re push themselvesin practice and are hun-gry after a bit of a roller-coaster season last year.They push the each otherin practice and are settingthe bar high as a team.”
Also on the Moellerroster are defensive spe-cialist Johnny Rickert, de-fensive specialist ConnorPeed, defensive specialistHarry Savarese, setterRyan Frank, setter ChadMustard and defensivespecialist Logan Sheets.McLaughlin is assisted byKevin Brandner and MikeChandler and studentcoaches Gus Vogel andBrad Buller.

Although many con-sumers don’t do it, it’smore important than everto have a used vehiclechecked out by a certi-fied mechanic and lookfor safety defects prior toa purchase.
You see, while it isillegal to sell a new carwith an unrepaired safetyrecall, there is no federallaw prohibiting the saleof used cars with un-repaired safety defects.
You may recall tens ofmillions of cars wererecalled for safety de-fects in just the past year.Defects range from ex-ploding airbags to dan-gerously defective igni-tion switches. Yet, manyof those vehicles arebeing offered for saleright now even thoughthe repairs have not beenmade. In fact, about 25percent of car owners donot get their vehiclesrepaired within 18months of a safety recall,according to the NationalHighway Traffic SafetyAdministration.
Carfax, which sellsvehicle history reports,
estimatesabout 36millionregisteredcars andtruckscurrentlyhave out-standingsafetyrecalls. Insome
cases, Consumer Actionreports, parts needed torepair a defect are inshort supply leavingpotentially dangerousvehicles on the road in-definitely. Sometimesrecall notices don’t reachowners because theyhave 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 not
only 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 youshop 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 thenational database to see ifthere’s an open recall onthe particular vehicle youare looking to buy.
Incidentally, all themajor car rental compa-nies have now pledged tostop renting or sellingunrepaired recalled carsto consumers.

Zachary Hayes Hanus,Troop 674 Montgomery,earned his Eagle Scoutrank March 3, joining hisolder brother, Andrew,who earned his Eagle rankSeptember 2012.
The Eagle Scout rank isscouting’s highest honorwith only 5 percent of BoyScouts attaining reachingthis milestone. This rankentails years of commit-ment to Scouting, demon-strated leadership withinthe troop, service to oth-ers within the community,and a minimum of 21 mer-it badges involving emer-gency/lifesaving skills,money and time manage-ment, personal health andfitness, citizenship at alllevels of government andscouting skills.
In addition, a Scoutmust plan, develop, andlead a service project - theEagle Project - that dem-onstrates leadership of
others while performing aproject for the benefit of acommunity, school or reli-gious institution.
Hanus’s Eagle projectinvolved reforesting anopen clearing withinHamilton County’s Shar-on Woods Park (Sharon-ville) with 100 trees of 12different varieties. Thetrees were planted andfenced to protect themfrom wildlife and the pe-rimeter of the grove areawas cleared of invasivebrush and vines thatwould choke out the newtrees.
Previously, this un-planted area was not con-ducive to either field orforest birds. However,
once the new trees aregrown, forest birds willagain be eager to inhabitthe area. This reforesta-tion will also providemore tree species diversi-ty than if the area was al-lowed to reseed by itself.In addition, this projectwill contribute to Hamil-ton County Park’s goal ofplanting 60,000 trees by2016.
The effort Hanus ledwas completed in Novem-ber and involved 48 volun-teers and nearly 200 vol-unteer hours. Hanus, 15, isa sophomore at SycamoreHigh School and a resi-dent of Montgomery. Ha-nus is a carrier for North-east Suburban Life.
