IT’SCOLLECTIONTIME A landscaping supply com-

pany could be moving into anabandoned ODOT storage sitein Sharonville soon.

The company, Semco Out-door Services, is a distributorof natural stone products. ThePerryville, Missouri-basedcompany has retail locationsin Belton, Missouri, and Co-lumbus, Ohio, and wants toopen a retail location at 11864Chesterdale Road.

The Sharonville locationborders Springdale, and isdown the street from Heri-tage Hill Elementary inPrinceton City Schools. Thatproximity has brought trafficconcerns from the neighbor-ing community.

Springdale AdministratorDerrick Parham sent a letter

to Sharonville Safety ServiceDirector Jim Lukas, raisingconcerns about traffic, landuse, outlot zoning and stormwater management.

Parham’s concern abouttraffic was focused on theclose proximity to residential

development, as well as theschool.

Semco Vice PresidentKeith Robinson, who attendedSharonville City Council’sMay 12 meeting, said onlyone-to-four trucks would en-ter or exit the facility each

day, and access would not beon Chesterdale Road.

The land use concern in-volved noise from machineryat the facility. A letter from anadministrator in Belton,where Semco operates a simi-lar facility, said similar con-cerns were raised and werenot found to be a problemthere.

Springdale’s questionabout the development of theout lot were not discussed atthe meeting, but an ordinancebeing considered by Sharon-ville City Council wouldchange the zoning of the prop-erty from public facility tocommercial service officeand planned unit develop-ment which would apply tothe specific use by Semco.

Any stormwater concerns

Annika Wasen researchedfacts and chose artifacts for herdisplay of schools in Wyomingthroughout the city’s history.Kye Westerman worked on amodel of a walk-through Victo-rian home. Roxy Sorenson es-tablished a timeline of events.

These third-graders and oth-er students at Vermont Schoolplanned, researched, producedand presented a history project,along with other Wyoming CitySchool students, as part of a de-sign challenge in March.

“The design challenge initia-tive at Wyoming has been a two-year goal for us across allgrades,” Superintendent SusanLang said. “We believe it is vital-ly important to introduce stu-dents to learning that is authen-tic and relevant. In order to doso, it takes collaboration, cre-ativity and out-of-the-box think-ing.

“Learning is no longer sim-ply memorization and regurgi-tation,” she said. “It is aboutpreparing our students for the

world that lies ahead. This pro-ject is one of many that broughtlearning to life this year.”

Project based learning is anapproach in which students ap-ply academic concepts to re-spond to a problem or challengein a way that incorporates real-life application.

It requires students to askquestions and seek out re-sources.

Teachers guide students inproject based learning, but thestudents take control of the pro-ject, which includes critiqueand revision for further devel-opment.

Public presentation is also acomponent of project basedlearning, bringing the lessonout of the classroom and into thereal world.

Vermont third graders pre-sented their projects as mu-seum exhibits displayed at Wyo-ming Middle School in March.

Their teachers, Adam Beardand Caryn Metzger, posed thequestion: how could studentslearn history in a real and rele-vant way?

They decided to create a mu-

seum to show the city’s history.“The kids developed the

ideas, and we encouraged themand helped to make it possiblewith materials,” Beard said.

Problems were posed to thestudents.

» What is an exhibit and howdo you create one?

» What items do we display?» How do we organize the ex-

hibits?» What story will our exhib-

its tell?» What artifacts, photos,

maps and other primary sourc-es help tell the story?

“It’s the way the workingworld works,” Metzger said.“You are given a problem, andthere’s not only one way to get

would be addressed asneeded, though none hadbeen identified, Sharon-ville officials said.

The current zoning, aspublic facility, includesgovernmental, education-al, recreational, public fa-cility and general welfareuses. The Ohio Depart-ment of Transportationdeveloped four of theproperty’s 20 acres in 1960as a roadway mainte-nance and service facility.

Salt, equipment and road-way construction materi-als were stored at the site,and the property was usedfor dispatch purposes.

The remaining 16 acreswere used as a publicright-of-way and proper-ty considered an “uncon-trolled fill area.”

ODOT stopped opera-tions and left the site in1999, removing two under-ground fuel storage tanks.

The proposed changewould zone the propertyas commercial serviceplanned unit develop-ment, which includeslight industrial, produc-

tion and general contrac-tor uses. As a planned unitdevelopment, the pro-posed use is tied to thezoning change. If ap-proved, the property canbe used only as the zoningchange allows. No Shar-onville residents orSpringdale representa-tives attended the publichearing, at which Robin-son presented a virtualview of the proposed fa-cility. City Council con-ducted the first reading ofthe ordinance, and sched-uled a second for May 26,followed by a third read-ing and vote June 9.

there.“Education needs to

mimic real life.”Students began their

research with the help ofexperts including bill Ma-hon, director of the exhib-it design studio for theOhio Historical Society, aswell as Wyoming resi-dents Sherry Sheffield,

Joyce Mueller, Mary Kil-len and the board of trust-ees from the WyomingHistorical Society.

Other experts includedBecky Johnson, author ofImages of America: Wyo-ming; Chris Novy, direc-tor of exhibits at the Cin-cinnati Museum Center;and Fern Nafzinger, ex-hibits designer at the Cin-cinnati Museum Center.

While historical arti-facts were loaned to theschool, students learned

that original objectsweren’t always available,so models and replicas areused to illustrate history.

“They took the experts’knowledge and createdtheir own ideas,” Beardsaid.

The combination ofloaned artifacts, photos,maps and replica modelswere incorporated intothe presentation.

“The exhibit is telling astory,” Beard said. Thestory of Wyoming.

Some things you justcan’t help but admire andwish you had the know-how and spunk to do.

Going into businessfor yourself can bedaunting, and staying in

business ina bad econ-omy takesreal skill.CynthiaBush ofForestPark hasdone bothwith herKuttin-UpSalon. Ahumblelady wholoves mak-

ing women feel goodabout themselves, shehas not only succeeded inbusiness, but also lends ahelping hand to others inher own quiet way.

From the time she wasa child, Cynthia was in-terested in styling hair.She used to style herlittle cousin’s hair in her

mother’s kitchen. A pro-fessional beautician for27 years, Cynthia hasowned her own businessfor 22 years. Kuttin-Up’stranquil atmospherebelies the struggles withwhich she contended.While working in othersalons she saw situationsshe knew she could im-prove upon. Owning asalon had been a lifelongdream.

Her first one was inAvondale, where sheremained for 20 years.Cynthia endured thedecline of the area due tothe pervading drug cul-ture. A drug rehab facil-ity was nearby, and peo-ple under the influenceor trying to recoverwould soil the neigh-borhood with bodilywaste as well as justhang around in thestreets. Her clientele,who come from all walksof life, complained anddid not feel safe. Oftenshe had to escort the

elderly from the prem-ises.

Somewhere along theline Cynthia must havebeen influenced by Napo-leon Hill who stated,“Effort only fully re-

leases its reward after aperson refuses to quit.”Cynthia didn’t quit, andmoved to her presentlocation at 8020 ReadingRoad (861-9205). Afterremodeling, she relo-cated there two yearsago for more space, abetter environment, acleaner exterior andeasier access.

Born and raised inWinton Terrace, Cynthiamoved to Clifton whenshe was in the eighth-grade. Her cosmetologyteacher won her admira-tion when she encour-

aged Cynthia to succeed.She always felt that Cyn-thia had something spe-cial to give and a specialniche to fill. The teacherwanted her to get herown salon, made sure sheearned her barber andcosmetology licenses andgave Cynthia the inspira-tion she needed to followher dream.

The professional la-dies who work at Kuttin-Up are all entrepreneurswho work for them-selves. They realize thatrepeat business comesfrom customers who tell

others about good ser-vice. Cynthia gives themspace and a professionalenvironment, a sense ofbelonging and ownershipand the incentive to offermore to the community.

Cynthia personallyhelps struggling parents,the sick and the elderlybased on a gut feelingwithin her heart. Some-times a client will tell herabout someone in achurch or school who isin need. Unlike someother salons, Kuttin-Updoesn’t have strangerswandering in to sell mer-chandise to the custom-ers. Only licensed ven-dors with whom Cynthiahas done business formany years are welcome.

In addition to her cos-metology teacher, Cyn-thia gives credit to God,her husband, sister, sonand daughter. Withouttheir support shewouldn’t be where she istoday. She had been look-ing for a new location forseven years, and prayerbrought her to this place.

MAY 27, 2015 • TRI-COUNTY PRESS • 5ANEWS

When I was a young mother, my mom, Mary Nader,would try to teach me how to cook our traditionalLebanese food. I say “try” because it didn’t come easyto me. Mom never measured - she said her handswere the best utensils. Ring a bell with any of you? I

bet it does, especially when you makethose heirloom recipes handed downfor generations. And I’m still learning.

My dear friends, Joe and MarylouZarick, Mason readers, have had me intheir kitchen making Lebanese breadand sfeehah, bread stuffed with meatand seasonings.

I can now say my Lebanese food isdelicious, and yes, I use my hands formeasuring and mixing. My familyloves the food, and laughs when I sayMom’s was still better.

One dish we make is our yogurt dip, with Laban/homemade yogurt, along with cucumber, mint andgarlic. Now making this dip with homemade yogurtresults in a pretty loose mixture, even when I strainthe yogurt overnight. I wanted to serve a thicker

version of this in a Lebanese class I taught and KayHitzler came to the rescue.

Kay, a West Side reader, and I have been cookingbuddies for years. We first met at Jungle Jims andimmediately connected when she was my sous chef.Kay is a skilled, compassionate nurse by day and apassionate, talented foodie by night. I can’t tell youhow many good recipes she, along with her mom,Jean Shirley, have given me. Kay’s Tzatziki sauce isthe best. She has been sharing it with friends andfamily for years. It goes with so many summer dish-es, from salmon to chicken to crudités.

Lebanese Festival at St. Anthony of PaduaSunday, June 14 from noon to 8 p.m.961-0120 StAnthonyofPaduaChurch.comEnjoy both the yogurt dip and hummus without

lifting a finger. Stop by the Lebanese Mahrajan festi-val and enjoy the abundance of authentic homemadeLebanese food. I’m getting hungry now just thinkingabout kibbee, shish kebabs, salads, breads, greenbeans with tomatoes, and, of course, all those sinfulpastries…

Middle Eastern fare gets dippyKay Hitzler’s Tzatziki/yogurt cucumber dip

You can buy Greek yogurt already strained. Greekyogurt is thicker than regular and contains more protein.The garlic and olive oil are good for your heart, the vitaminC in the lemon helps your immune system and helps detox-ify your liver, and the mint is high in fiber and good fordigestion.

1 English or regular large cucumber, peeled if desired,seeded, shredded

Salt1-1/2 cups whole milk Greek yogurt, strained1 clove garlic, minced or more to taste2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil1 tablespoon lemon juice1/4 cup chopped fresh mintSalt to taste

Place cucumber in strainer over a bowl and sprinklewith a little salt and let stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile,place yogurt in a strainer and let drain for 15 minutes, thendiscard liquid. Squeeze the cucumber in a towel to removeas much liquid as possible. Mix everything together.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: Remove seeds from cucumberCut in half longways and take a small spoon and run

it down the center, scooping up seeds as you go.

Rita’s hummusI may as well go full tilt here and share another Mid-

dle Eastern favorite. It’s one of my most requested whichI’ve shared with you before. For Jennifer, an Eastside read-er. “Store bought hummus is way too expensive”, she said.Better than anything you can buy and a lot less costly. LittleEmerson, my granddaughter, loves hummus.If too thick,add a little water.

1 can, 15 oz, chick peas, drained, rinsed and drained1 teaspoon minced garlicLemon juice, olive oil and Tahini (ground sesame seed

“paste”) to taste - start with 3 tablespoons and gofrom there

Salt to tasteCumin to taste – start with a teaspoonWhole milk Greek yogurt to taste - start with 1/4 cup

Mash chickpeas by hand or in food processor until ofdesired smoothness. Add everything else and mix.

Older adults are a vital partof our society.

Since 1963, communitiesacross the country haveshown their gratitude by cele-brating Older AmericansMonth each May. The themeof this year’s celebration is“Get into the Act,” to focus onhow older adults are takingcharge of their health, gettingengaged in their communities,and making a positive impactin the lives of others.

Older Americans Monthoffers an opportunity to em-phasize how older adults canaccess the home and commu-nity-based services they needto live independently in theircommunities. It is also anoccasion to highlight howtheir loved ones can help themto remain safe and comfort-able in their homes.

All year long, Whole HomeModifications, a service ofPeople Working Coopera-

tively, pro-vides theexperienceand expertiseto handlemodificationsprojects thatwill help olderAmericanscontinue liv-ing safely intheir homes.

This May, we’re encouragingolder Americans as well astheir caregivers, family andfriends to think about theycan do to keep seniors safe intheir homes.

A few common problemareas are stairways, floorsand rugs, and the bathroom.As you assess your home orthe home of an older familymember, consider checkingthat all handrails are not bro-ken and are securely fash-ioned. It’s also important thatboth sides of the stairway

have handrails.If floors are hardwood, tile

or laminate, removing throwrugs from high-traffic areasand investing in non-slip hardsole shoes can be critical. Inthe bathroom, replacing towelracks and toilet paper holderswith grabcessories adds sta-bility and security, but won’tmake the bathroom feel like amedical facility.

When it comes to keepingseniors safe in their homesand chosen communities, aproactive approach is impor-tant. We encourage olderAmericans and their familiesto evaluate their individualneeds, and incorporate someor all of these tips in order tokeep their homes safe andsecure for many years tocome.

Older Americans Month 2015:‘Get into the Act’

May 20 questionWhat is the best senior class

prank you can remember?

“I must really be old. I wentto a very conservative publicschool. Can’t recall any ‘pranks’that did not result in the expul-sion of some ‘hood.’ My muchyounger brother considered‘spiking’ the senior class playpunch. Fortunately, his wiserfriends kept him from thatstunt.”

D.B.

“Can’t say where and won’tsay when, but by now the statueof limitations has hopefully ex-pired. In my town one of myclassmate’s father was a privaterealtor and at his office locationhe had a giant (20-foot-by-40-foot) hippopotamus. One of myother classmate’s father owneda construction company and he

had access to very large flat bedtrailers and rigging equipment.So naturally we felt compelledto relocate the giant hippo to theroof of the school. Sure wish itwould have been light enough toget some photos.”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat memories do you have ofprevious All-Star Games in Cin-cinnati (or other cities)? Whathas baseball meant to you; whatdoes it mean to you now?

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

What do green living andbaseball have in common?Well, you can’t score a runwithout touching all the basesfirst.

Here’s how to hit for thecycle with your recyclingefforts.

Hit a single by recyclingcommon items such as plasticbottles and jugs, glass bottlesand aluminum cans.

Next, double your recy-cling content by including allpaper products, from junkmail to cereal boxes. As a ruleof thumb, if you can tear it,you can put it in your recyclebin, cart, or drop-off site.

Reach third by extendingyour efforts to recycle bath-room items such as emptyshampoo bottles and toiletpaper cores. Consider puttinga second small trash can in

your bath-room to col-lect recy-clables.

Score ahome run byrecyclingyour usedelectronics ata special elec-tronics recy-cling event.Televisions,

desktop computers and cablescontain valuable metals thatcan be recycled into new elec-tronics.

Residents have a greatopportunity to hit that recy-cling home run by takingadvantage of the sixth annualPNC/Players for the Planete-waste recycling drive inMay. Residents will have fouropportunities to recycle elec-

tronic items, meet CincinnatiReds players and get two freeReds tickets (while supplieslast):

Investing your hard-earned money always in-volves an element of risk.

Yet we all have varyingdefinitions of risk.

Some people think invest-ing in gold, for example, isrisky, while others think itoffers conservative balance.

The same is true for in-vesting overseas.

Yet risk assessment iscritical when selecting andcommunicating with yourfinancial advisor, includingthe investments selected tohelp achieve financial goals.

The best advisors seekfirst to listen and understandwhat affects your perceptionof risk. Many factors affectthis outcome - a client's per-sonality, investment knowl-edge, and history or life ex-perience.

If you are an analyticalperson, for example, you mayprefer to receive as muchdata as possible before arriv-ing at an investment decision.Charts, graphs, and researchfrom your advisor wouldmake your decision clearer.

You may have emotionalattachments to a stock or aninvestment.

If an uncle gave you 1,000shares of a stock when youwere 10 years old, or youworked for an employer youloved for 40 years, your ad-visor needs to be able to un-derstand why you may bereluctant to diversify thatholding.

A stock that boomed backin the 1970s or ‘80s may notbe a good long-term invest-ment today, especially if thatstock has lost market share

or makes up agood percent-age of yourportfolio.

Your ad-visor can helpyou addressany emotionalconnectionand bringtogether yourfinancial ob-jectives while

respecting your family lega-cy.

If you are a more aggres-sive, driver-type of person,you are looking for an imme-diate, “what's-the- bottomline” return.

A sound financial advisorresists generalizing aboutcertain groups of individualsand their investment prefer-ences; for example, assumingthat people who lived throughthe Great Depression have anaversion to the stock market,or that all Millennials arerisk-takers.

The reality is that each ofus has our own individual lifeexperiences, personalitiesand limited knowledge offinancial options.

In order for us to succeedand reach our financial goals,it's important to have a fi-nancial advisor who listensand takes the time to guideyou to investments consistentwith your knowledge, experi-ence and goals.

This is a very personal exer-cise.

The idea is to evaluate our-selves before we criticize oth-ers. It is an exercise I usedwhen teaching ethics.

Before we begin, let meexplain that I was a somewhatdifferent type of teacher. I didnot lecture on my thoughts andideas, but rather caused stu-dents to think and to exercisetheir minds. Mid-term and finalexams were contained in thesyllabus so that the studentshad time to think about theproblems expressed and toquestion me and other studentsabout their ideas. We had somevery lively discussions. Onerule was that any questionabletopic was to be discussed in thethird person.

We are in a period of veryquestionable ethics. There arethings we can change andthings that, hopefully, time willimprove. There is no doubt thatthe world is in a very danger-ous situation that affects all ofus. I don’t mean to be overlyfearful, but many situationsseem to repeat this historybefore great wars or nationalcalamities.

History also indicates thatproper actions could avoid

these disas-ters. It couldbe that ourpersonal val-ues couldmake a differ-ence. If that isso, it would beimportant forthe majority ofpeople to ex-amine theirpersonal val-

ues and adjust to the necessi-ties of a better existence.

Perhaps our biggest prob-lem is the wide disagreementbetween political parties. Thisis fed to a large extent by ourstubborn political values. Poli-ticians have always protectedthe political donors who be-came enablers and were pro-tected by the recipients of theirmoney. The customary deval-uation of money has been afactor leading to many differ-ent miseries like genocide, war,and dictatorships. If politicianscan be “bought” what about thegeneral public?

Let’s look into the mirror.Can we be bought? Well, we allhave a price whether we wantto admit it or not. Consider thatone of your family has beenkidnapped and you can save

him by committing a murder.Would you do it? No answer isrequired. Some people havefaced this issue.

Simpler issues are moneyissues. We all face times whenwe are jealous of someone whohas much more than us. Justthink about what you might doto acquire more money so thatyou could socialize in thatcrowd. Would it be worth it?What might be enough moneyto make you happy regardlessof how you got it? The goodnews is most of us have hadthese thoughts, but were ofenough good character to re-tain our morality.

That is why we do this exer-cise. It makes us aware thatothers may not have the valueswe cherish and to be watchfulof those who may fail our mo-rality test. There is great satis-faction in our self imposedmorality.

“I hope I shall possess firm-ness and virtue enough tomaintain what I consider themost enviable of all titles, thecharacter of an honest man.” Avalid quote from George Wash-ington.

Edward Levy is a resident of Mont-gomery.

It is time to examine our values

SHARONVILLE — Not longago, Claudia Saunders’ feet ranher all over Ohio breaking rec-ords, and winning track andcross country titles at PrincetonHigh School. Then, her feet car-ried her across the country toStanford University whereshe’s thrived in the gleamingCalifornia sun establishing her-self as one of the nation’s pre-mier runners.

This time last year, a sopho-more Saunders was the NCAArunner-up in the outdoor 800meters in 2:02.92, the highest-

ever finish in Stanford historyby a woman in that event, perthe school. She’s also a memberof the Cardinal distance medleyrelay, which placed second (in-doors) in the NCAA in 2014 and2015.

However, before her illustri-ous track career took form,Saunders first flirted with gym-nastics. It was an injury dis-guised as fate that propelled herrunning, and she hasn’t stopped.

“Actually, gymnastics wasmy first sport,” Saunders said,adding she started gymnasticsat age 7 and around middleschool she began dipping hertoes into competitive running.

“I was in love with gymnastics... I had kind of envisioned that Iwould do that in college.”

She was introduced to trackby her father, Tyler, and her un-cles, who enjoyed successfulcareers in their day.

“I think my family hoped Ihad picked up some of that (run-ning) ability,” she said.

In the eighth grade, Saun-ders said, she tore her labrum ina gymnastics competition. Thesurgery sidelined her for sixmonths. That’s when runningtook over.

WESTERN HILLS — Usuallywhen Cowboys go west, goodthings happen.

At the Division II sectionalfinal at Western Hills May 20,that wasn’t the case for theWyoming High School base-ball team. A scoreless gameturned into a four-run deficitin the fourth inning whenMcNicholas took advantageof some Cowboy misfires totake and hold the lead.

The Rockets added two in-surance runs in the sixth andWyoming didn’t score untilthe final frame, losing 6-1.McNicholas junior SamBrowning went the distanceand struck out eight for thewin.

Senior Joe Rominger gotthe Wyoming start and wascruising until the fatal fourthframe. Rockets junior Will Vo-gelgesang doubled and twowild pitches later scored toput McNicholas on the board.An errant pick-off attemptthen led to another run and asacrifice fly made it 3-0. Onemore error made it 4-0 afterfour with three at-bats to go.

“Sometimes that’s base-ball,” Wyoming coach ChrisFiehrer said. “We had a fewmistakes that inning and a fewthings didn’t go our way. Itwas a little bit of bad luck.That’s a good team and theytook advantage of it.”

What looked like a pitch-er’s duel, turned into a differ-ent game. Sophomore AndrewMarty came in to relieve, buthe also was touched up for atwo-run triple by Vogelge-

sang in the sixth to accountfor the McNicholas runs.

In the meantime, Brown-ing kept cruising through theWyoming order, pitching withcomfort after being spottedthe runs.

“That’s a big thing in thesetournament games. If you cangrab that momentum early, itputs a lot of pressure on theother team,” Fiehrer said.

“I remember talking tomy dad and he said that14.2 would put you top-twoin the state,” Saunderssaid. “I realized there waspotential ... it kind of gaveme a little hope and reas-surance that if I keptworking and training Iwould get faster.”

During her high schoolcareer, she left no doubtsabout her ability. She wonthree state champion-ships for the Vikings. Hersophomore year she won100 hurdles, then as a sen-ior she won a cross coun-try title and the 60 hurdlesindoor state title.

Saunders said decidingon a college wasn’t easy,but she feels she made the

right choice. The best part of racing

for Saunders is a combi-nation. She loves compet-ing, practicing and testingherself. But, during a raceit’s all about one moment.

“There’s moments in arace where someonecomes up on you and youhave to decide if I’m gon-na for it, even if it hurts,”she said, and went on tosay it’s ultimately an op-portunity to use her train-ing.

Saunders, a four-timeAll-American, is a doublemajor in International Re-lations and Spanish. She’salso fluent in French.

“My mother is fromFrance, so I grew upspeaking that at home,”said Saunders. “Half myfamily still lives inFrance. I didn’t have achoice, I kind of had tolearn French to talk withmy family.”

On May 28-30 at Texas,Saunders will race in theWest Regional. Then, ifshe qualifies, she’ll be atOregon for NationalsJune 10-13.

She’s not there yet, butSaunders said hopefullyshe’ll continue to get fast-er and possibly run pro-fessionally after Stan-ford. She said she’s alsoconsidering going to lawschool.

ry), it was quite a turn around.After an April 18 loss to CHCA,

the Cowboys were 3-9. However,Chalmers eventually returnedand the team went on a 7-1 run toreach .500 by May. Chalmers andSam Izenson both hit well over.400 despite missing close to halfof the season.

Wyoming was 9-5 in the Cincin-

nati Hills League behind Madeiraand Taylor. They were able to re-cover and have their fourthstraight winning campaign.

“Baseball’s such a humblinggame,” Fiehrer said. “Everychance we have to be a part of asectional championship, we’re al-ways appreciative of it. Any timeyou get to games like this, it’s beena success at the end of the year.”

Fiehrer now must figure outhow to replace 11 seniors. He willhave five-game winner AndrewMarty back on the mound and in-

nings-eater Sam Marty will be asenior. In the infield, shortstopGrady McMichen and first base-man Brenda Madden will be sen-iors. Madden, like teammateParker Chalmers was injuredearly in the season. Unlike Chal-mers, he was unable to return.

“We’re going to have a lot of un-derclassmen have to play big rolesnext year,” Fiehrer said. “It’s al-ways fun to start that processover. It stinks right now, but in acouple of weeks you kind of startthinking about next year.”

16U hockey brings home bronze

PROVIDED

The Northern Kentucky Norse 16U hockey team traveled to Plano, Texas, to compete in the USA Hockey 2015 NationalChampionships in March. The Northern Kentucky Norse entered the semifinals as the No. 1 seed and lost to South Dakota(8-6) bringing home the bronze medal to the Northern Kentucky Ice Center. The players and their high school include: Ohio— Austin Young, Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy; Alex Tamanko, Wyoming; Jacob Striker, Lakota East; Harry D’Agostino,St. Xavier; Ian Rentfrow, Moeller; Chris Dunne, McNicholas; Bobby Berner, Centerville; Thomas Tilton, Dayton Christian;Camden Canterbury, Lakota West; John Gennantonio, Indian Hill; Donald Ennis, Beavercreek; and Andrew Feldkamp,Moeller (not pictured); Kentucky — Matthew Schreckenhofer, Ryle High School; Cole Bently, Dixie High School; and JohnWalters, Walton-Verona. Coaches: Matt Dunne, Steve Hogue and Doug Striker.

ST. BERNARD — A rec-ord rarely tells the wholestory. In the case of RogerBacon High School, therecord of its boys’ volley-ball team barely scratch-es the surface of who theSpartans truly are.

The record says 14-11.Look closer, and you’ll be-gin to understand whyRoger Bacon is rankedNo. 8 in the Ohio HighSchool Boys VolleyballAssociation’s Division IIstate poll.

Seven of its 11 lossescame against teams (Al-ter, Elder, St. Xavier,Moeller, Walsh Jesuit, Hil-liard Darby) also rankedin either the Division I orII state poll.

“We have played an ex-ceptionally difficultschedule,” said ninth-yearcoach Adam Goller. “Ithink it’s definitely madeus tougher mentally. Ithink that will be a goodthing come postseason.”

A brutal schedule

wasn’t all Roger Baconhad to deal with during theregular season.

“The regular seasonwas difficult due to a num-ber of injuries, but givenall the adversity I thinkthe boys did as well asthey possibly could,” saidGoller, who added theSpartans have healed upin time for the postseason.

They dealt with diffi-culty through their sixseniors who are well-

versed in tough competi-tion.

As freshman and soph-omores, the senior classsaw what it took to make arun at state as the Spar-tans were runner-up in2012 and a semifinalist in2011.

“All six of the seniorshave been a great exam-ple to the underclass-men,” Goller said.

“They’ve embracedtheir roles and done theirjobs well. We place a highlevel of expectations onevery one of our guys, andthey’ve all answered andhad a very good season.”

The six seniors are:Alex Brenner, Ben Holt,Bobby Wilking, RobbieHeywood, Jack Hausfeldand Tony Weickert.

Brenner missed mostof the season with an inju-ry, but since his return theSpartans are 7-3. Bren-ner’s 146 assists (in 10matches) rank eighth inthe Greater CatholicLeague Coed. Heywood’s624 passes are the fifth-most in the conference,

and second on the teambehind Hunter Jones, a ju-nior.

Heywood also led theteam in kills (166), justahead of Hausfeld (152).

Holt and Weickert tiedfor third in the GCL Coedwith 54 blocks each.

Wilking’s 241 assistswere sixth in the confer-ence and he also had 411passes.

Roger Bacon, who ap-pears to be rounding intoform at the right time, fin-ished second in the GCLCoed behind Alter.

“It’s the postseason sowe’re just shoring up ourstrengths and makingsure we continue to takecare of the little things,”Goller said.

The Spartans began thepostseason with a defini-tive 25-5, 25-3, 25-6 winover Purcell Marian in aDivision II regional semi-final.

The regional final tookplace Saturday, after printdeadline, against McNi-cholas, so check Cincin-nati.com for the result.
