CHEVIOT — The CheviotWestwood Community Associ-ation is seeking sponsors forits annual awards programrecognizing area students.

Dating back to 1964, the as-sociation has honored WestSide middle school studentsevery year at its OutstandingYoung Citizens Banquet. The51st annual banquet takes placeThursday, April 23, at St. Igna-tius’s Hilvert Center.

Association member RayKroner, who owns Kroner DryCleaners in Cheviot and servesas chairman of the event, saidhis father, Lou Kroner Jr.,started the banquet as a way tohonor young people who dem-onstrate the qualities of lead-ership, cooperation, genuineinterest in others and highmorals.

“My dad started this withthe awareness that kids arerecognized for academics,kids are recognized for sportsand kids are recognized for ac-complishments in the arts andmusic, but there wasn’t anaward for kids who are justoutstanding young citizensand understand what it meansto be part of a community,” hesaid.

Today the program recog-nizes students from nine areaschools – Bridgetown MiddleSchool, Cheviot School, OurLady of Lourdes, St. AloysiusGonzaga, St. Catharine, St. Ig-natius, St. Martin, MidwaySchool and Westwood School.

Kroner said teachers andprincipals nominate studentsfor the award, and a boy andgirl from each homeroom inthe participating schools are

selected for rec-ognition. Thestudents chosenfor the honorare treated todinner at thebanquet and re-ceive an awardcertificate attheir school’s

graduation ceremony.Each year, he said the asso-

ciation invites prominent fig-ures from the Greater Cincin-nati area to speak at the ban-quet and address the studentsabout leadership and beinggood citizens. Last year’sspeaker was University of Cin-cinnati President Santa Ono.

Kroner said this year’sguest speaker is Mary Wineb-erg, a UC graduate and Olym-pian who won a gold medal intrack and field at the 2008Summer Olympics in Beijing.

The Outstanding Young Cit-izens Banquet has enjoyedgreat support from the associ-ation’s community and busi-ness members over the past 50years, and Kroner said theyare opening up sponsorship op-portunities this year to othercommunity groups and busi-nesses throughout the Cheviotand Westwood area.

“This is an outstanding op-portunity for us to invest in ouryoung people and continue ourhistory as good neighbors,” hesaid.

“It’s a great communityevent. We get to focus on thefuture. These kids are going tobe leaders and we want tomake sure they get the properrecognition and encourage-ment.”

Those interested in spon-soring the banquet can contactKroner at 661-1400.

WESTWOOD — Mark Winter-halter said it’s important all chil-dren and adults know how toswim and be safe in the water.

Swimming pools and bodiesof water can pose dangerousrisks for people who can’t swim.

Learning how to swim, whilesometimes scary at first, is rela-tively easy for most people.

For children and adults withspecial needs, however, gettingin the water can be especially in-timidating.

Winterhalter, a Delhi Town-ship resident, is working toerase those fears for individualswith special needs through theadapted swim program at theGamble-Nippert YMCA.

“Some of the people we’veworked with were afraid to evenput a foot in the water,” he said.“Now they’re swimming laps.”

He said Gamble-Nippert hasoffered an adapted swim pro-gram for many years and he’s

been volunteering as itscertified swim instructorfor three years.

It was started by MaryDolan, a former competi-tive diver and Gamble-Nippert swim instructor,who developed the DolanMethod specifically forteaching children with au-

tism how to swim, he said.In addition to using the

Dolan Method, the pro-gram places an emphasison safety and teaches par-ticipants basic water safe-ty skills. He said they alsoprovide swim lessons toprepare children andadults for three swimmeets each year spon-sored by the SpecialOlympics.

“I don’t think peopleare aware of the adaptedprogram we have here,”Winterhalter said.

“We work with a lot ofkids and adults who have avariety of disabilities.They really enjoy it andwe like teaching themhow to swim.”

After he retired from abusiness career a fewyears ago, he said he waslooking for some volun-teer opportunities and hisdaughter, Sara Overstake,who is the executive di-rector of Gamble-Nip-pert, suggested he get in-volved with the swim pro-gram.

He said he grew upswimming and working atpools and he taught swimlessons while serving in

the U.S. Navy, so it was anatural fit. He earned hiscertification as a swim in-structor and has led theprogram ever since.

“Sara got me back intosomething more reward-ing than the businessworld,” Winterhalter said.

“I enjoy seeing their(participants) reactions.They get so excited whenwe go to these meets.”

Besides learning howto swim, he said the chil-dren and adults in the pro-gram also benefit fromgaining more self confi-dence and developing so-cial skills.

Overstake said the pro-gram has also been veryrewarding for the Gam-ble-Nippert YMCA. Shesaid she enjoys talkingwith the participants’ par-ents and seeing thembeam about the progressof their children.

She said one parent re-layed a story about howtheir son used to be em-barrassed to attend sum-mer swim parties, butnow he gets excited andlooks forward to being in-vited to swim parties.

“I can see the differ-ence it is making,” she

said. “It’s definitely re-warding and it adds to ourY. To be able to help adultsand children with specialneeds brings us back toour mission.”

The success has in-spired Overstake and herfather to begin working togrow the program andserve more children,adults and families.

She said they are ac-cepting individuals withspecial needs who are in-terested in swimming andalso actively seeking ad-ditional volunteers whowant to get certified andserve as instructors.

“Our goal is to expandthe program and reachmore people,” Winterhal-ter said. “Swimming canbe very beneficial.”

The adapted swim pro-gram runs from 3 p.m. to 4p.m. Mondays at Gamble-Nippert YMCA, 3159 Mon-tana Ave.

Those interested inparticipating or volun-teering may contact Over-stake or Winterhalter at661-1105 for more infor-mation. They can alsoemail Overstake at [email protected].

In the United States and itsterritories, a wish is granted,on average, every 38 minutes.Over the years, the McAuleyKey Club has helped grantthese wishes by holding a re-gion-wide luau.

To-gether they raised over $4000to donate to Make-A-Wish,through ticket sales, trinketsales, and donations.

» Students in McAuley HighSchool physics classes went tothe Ringling Brothers and Bar-num & Bailey Circus with theirteacher, Lisa Nissen.

Before the circus began, theyoung ladies were able to goonto the floor and see some ofthe performers, human and an-imal alike, up close. Then theyhad a wonderful time watchingthe acrobats, motorcycles, tra-peze artists, animals, and theclowns, looking for forceswhich were apparent in thevarious circus acts. Each stu-dent had to choose her favoritecircus act and construct a dia-gram showing the forces act-ing on the performers.

MARCH 25, 2015 • WESTERN HILLS PRESS • A7NEWS

I know I “jumped the gun” when Icleared out the end of the garden nearthe elderberries and mulch pile tocreate a space for my cold frame.

Well, it wasn’t entirely my fault.The weather was sunny and over 60degrees and I was just itching to startplanting.

We lugged the railroad ties over tomake a rectangle, filled it with loamysoil and mulch and sowed rows ofearly veggies and greens: radishes,lettuces, beets and carrots.

I put a clear plastic shield over it to keepin warmth and I could just see in my mind’seye a few weeks down the road, pickinggreens and pulling radishes.

Of course, Mother Nature had thelast laugh when the temperaturedipped below freezing the next fewnights. But I’m undeterred.

I’m still thinking about a bountifulspring harvest, but not in a fewweeks.

Meanwhile, we have Passover andEaster to think about, so here’s twogood recipes for both.

al and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com. Email her at [email protected] with“Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line. Call 513-248-7130,ext. 356.

Brisket, ham for Passover, EasterMy best Passover brisket

The ingredients here are commonly used for preparing brisket. Thetechnique is what’s important. Brisket needs long, slow cooking to becometender when you roast it in the oven or on top of the stove. Brisket some-times comes in large quantities. I had the butcher at Jungle Jims cut a largeone in half for me as the eight-pound roast in the meat department was justtoo big. So don’t be shy about asking if the roast you see is too big. Wonder-ful for Passover or if you want a tummy-filling, good tasting, easy roast

1 brisket, trimmed of fat - mine was 3 pounds1 bottle, 12 oz. chili sauce1 pouch dry onion soup mix1 can regular Coke, 12 oz.

Preheat oven to 350. Place brisket in oven proof pot with lid. Mixsauce, soup and coke together and pour over brisket. Roast, covered, for 1hour, then turn temperature down to 250 and roast, covered, for 4-5 hours.Four hours will give a tender roast which slices easily. Five hours will giveyou a meltingly tender, fall apart roast and to me, this is the best one so ifyou can spare 5 hours, do it.

You can skim fat off top and slice meat and serve with gravy rightaway or cool to room temperature in the pan and put the whole thing inthe frig several hours or overnight. The fat will congeal to the top and youcan lift it off. Reheat roast with the gravy. You can slice it against the grainso it won’t be stringy before reheating or reheat it unsliced and slice itafterwards.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenFor a 5- to 8-pound roast, double the gravy ingredients.

Homemade spiced honey glaze for spiral ham

Sean T., a Cleves reader, shares this recipe. He found it in a food maga-zine and tested it out ahead of time for Easter. “I like the spiral ham butwanted to make a simple, not too spicy, homemade glaze for it and I likethis one”, he told me. This is enough for an 8- to 10-pound ham.

Boil at a gentle boil together for about 5 minutes:

3 cups honey1 tablespoon cinnamon1 tablespoon whole cloves3 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven to 325. Place ham on baking sheet and brush half thehoney mixture over and in between slices. Do this often with rest of mixtureuntil ham is crisp around the edges and reaches an internal temperature of120. This takes about an hour or so, Sean said.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: A citrus touchHow about stirring in a cup or so of orange marmalade to the honey

mixture? Sounds good to me, so let me know if you do this and how youlike it.

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

When preparing a good brisket, the technique is what’s important. Brisket needs long, slow cooking to becometender.

Around eight years ago,my husband and I met Jo-anne Qualters, with herpleasant smile, friendly man-ner and cheerful offer of aride home after our attendingMass at St. Teresa of AvilaChurch.

Over the years, I havelearned that Joanne is a sur-vivor in the best sense of theword. Against many odds,she has had a successfulcareer, has acquired manydevoted friends, and hasregained a loving relation-ship with her adult children.Joanne says what makes hera survivor is her deep faith inGod, her daily praying of therosary and her daily atten-dance at Mass. Joanne hascertainly convinced me byher word and deed that,through God, all things arepossible.

What makes her a saint inmy eyes is her unshakablefaith in God’s love for herand her love and compassionfor all she encounters. Sheprays the rosary for herfriends in need of comfortand consolation, and sheprays for many people shedoes not even know becauseothers like me ask her to doso.

She has taken my husbandand me out to lunch for mostof the years I have known herjust because she loves to giveto others. She has taken me toSerenity for a massage anumber of times just becauseshe wanted to do somethingspecial for me. She visitedme when I was at West Parkrecovering from a brokenleg, and she brought me theEucharist in a spirit of rever-ence, joy and kindness.

Joanne did not learn allthose qualities like kindnessand generosity because shecame from a family withthem. Joanne faced sometough times as a child and asa young adult, and she facedthem with strength, dignity

and relianceon prayer andGod’s good-ness andgrace.

Joanne toldme recently,“Keeping apositive atti-tude comesnatural to me,and I amthankful to

God for His goodness to me.” Now, Joanne and I still

spend time together, but notdoing all the things we usedto do. We talk on the phoneand visit when she is able.Joanne is facing perhaps theultimate challenge in her life,and, true to form, she is fac-ing it with courage, dignityand an unshakable trust inGod’s grace and goodness.She is dying of cancer, andshe has accepted it, adaptedher life to its constraints andis looking forward to seeingGod in her heavenly home.

Her strength, courage,and sheer joy in life duringthese final months are ablessing to all who know her.Joanne is already enjoyingsome of heaven on earth asher friends from St. TeresaChurch and other friendshelp her: taking her to doc-tor’s appointments, cleaningher apartment and shoppingfor her. Most important, thedaily Eucharist, which shebelieves to be the sacredBody and Blood of ChristJesus, is brought to her byher friend Betty Turner.

The 23rd Psalm is valuedthroughout the ages becauseit is profoundly true in cele-brating the strength andpower of God’s love that willcarry us through the shadowof death to the full glory ofeternal life. Joanne, thanksfor being a shining light onmy journey home.

There was a period justafter World War II, and beforeVietnam, when a gas stationattendant could support a fam-ily of four on 85 cents per hour(7 days per week); that isroughly $2,500 annually!

Today, it is not possible fora minimum wage worker toearn a living that will pay theirmodest expenses? Life hasbecome far more complex. Wehave much more regulation.Our cars can no longer beserviced under a shade tree.Also, the dollar has greatlydepreciated, due to wars,waste and greed. The mini-mum wage has not kept upwith the devaluation of thedollar.

We need to increase theminimum wage to between $15and $20 per hour. In the ‘50sbread was 23 cents a loaf, gaswas 25 cents a gallon, and youcould rent a home in a safeneighborhood for $50 to $65/month.

Pumping gas is less workthan flipping burgers. Paythem a living wage! Increaseprices!

Skirt Gamefundraiser Sunday

I think everyone in Delhiand beyond has a fond affec-tion and appreciation for theDelhi Skirt Game.

However, not everyoneknows from personal experi-ence how much this group ofamazing individuals and thework that they selflessly do,day after day, year after year,can change the life of a familystruggling with serious medi-cal issues. As an extremely ap-preciative recipient of theirkindness, my family and Iwould like to give them a hugeshout out.

We reached out to the SkirtGame because we were inneed of a handicapped van forour 14-year-old son, John Paul,who had suffered a severe andglobal anoxic brain injury in2002. John Paul cannot walk,

talk, eat, drink or move a mus-cle without our help. He hassevere scoliosis, intractableseizures, cortical blindness, afeeding tube, a tracheal tube,chronic lung disease, and amyriad of other struggles. Wewere at that time unable totransport him anywhere.

The Skirt Game not onlymade a donation to our family,they bought the van for us.They gave us more assistancethan we could have everdreamed possible and gave usa chance to breathe again.

Please come out to Jim andJack’s from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.Sunday, March 29, for a fund-raiser to help support the won-derful work they do. Therewill be good food and enter-tainment. Details are on theDelhi Skirt Game website.Thank you for your support.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

March 18 questionWhat are your predictions for

March Madness - the NCAA Tour-nament? In how many bracketpools will you participate?

“My prediction is that Ken-tucky is going to win it all.Bench depth is so important inthe tournament since you neverknow when you’ll have one ofthe starters get into foul trouble.

“With Kentucky that doesn’tmatter since their bench play-ers are probably just a slightpercentage dropoff in abilityfrom the starters. No other teamin the tournament has such tal-ent and depth that can come offthe bench and not have the teammiss a beat.

“I’ll probably enter twobrackets, one a friend of mine isrunning and another from work.It won’t really matter since byThursday late PM, I will alreadyhave lines drawn through my se-lections, on my way to anotherdisappointing failure at bracketperfection.”

C.S.

“Zero.”D.H.

“I’m just sad that the BlueJackets won’t be facing offagainst Ottawa this year. Neverheard the Stanley Cup calledMarch Madness. Where did thatterm originate?”

D.B.

“My prediction for MarchMadness is Michigan State forthe whole enchilada. However,since they failed to make thebracket, I may possibly need toreconsider. UK is the presump-tive star and I can support them.I am only in one pool at work andthat is aimed at giving most ofthe proceeds to charity. The onething March Madness always

stirs up for me is the questionthat if NCAA basketball can doan all-inclusive tournamentleading to a true and real nation-al champion, why can’t they dothe same thing for NCAA foot-ball?”

M.J.F.

“I’m a big Xavier Universityfan, but am realistic to know

that their chances are not verygood in winning a national title,however my No. 2 team, the Uni-versity of Wisconsin Badgers,have a legitimate chance of cut-ting down the nets after the finalgame.

“Everyone is picking the Uni-versity of Kentucky Wildcatsand for good reason, however,UW gave them a run for theirmoney in last year’s semifinalsand I think with an extra yearbehind them and the way thestyle they play, they could knockoff the mighty Wildcats.

“In summary, maybe myheart is giving way to commonlogic, but I’m going to stick tomy prediction and hopefully BoRyan will finally get that elusivefirst NCAA Division I basket-ball title!

“Go X!!!!!! and on Wiscon-sin!!!!!!”

PRICE HILL — The baseballprogram at Elder High Schoollooks seasoned and ready for an-other run in hopes of consecu-tive titles in the Greater CatholicLeague South after a 19-8 seasona year ago. But, an early postsea-son exit last year left a sour tastein Elder’s mouth. To remedythat, Elder returns five startersand will be led by a stable, expe-rienced group of seniors.

At the reins are seniors ShaneSmith and Kyle Orloff. Smith, aright-handed pitcher signedwith Miami University, was theGCL South Co-Player of the Yearlast season posting a 7-1 recordwith a 0.56 ERA while also hit-ting .358. Orloff, a shortstopwho’s signed with Indianapolis,hit .435 last year with 15 RBI andwas a Division I first team All-Enquirerselection. Senior catch-er Sam Hauer, first-team All-GCL South last season, also re-turns after hitting .342 with ateam-high 23 RBI. Keep an eyeon senior second baseman ZachVorherr, senior utility playerSam Coffaro, senior outfieldersNick Duke and Ryne Poli, alongwith seniors Josh Boeckmann,Greg Cappel and Jeff Linneman,who’ll help out on the mound.

Elder’s Mark Thompson, re-turning GCL South Coach of theYear entering his 26th season,said this is the deepest team El-der’s had in a long time in termsof position players. The questionwill be pitching depth. Outsideof Smith, a bona fide ace, thePanthers will need some otherarms to step up in support, likelyby committee.

“We’re very experienced,and deep position player wise,”Thompson said. “I like theirbaseball IQ. I think our overallspeed will be pretty good. I don’tthink we’re gonna hit a lot ofhome runs, but we’ll drive theball and run the bases well.”

Although experienced, Elderwill need some of its youngerguys to step into some biggerroles. Thompson said they’re ex-pecting big things from juniors

Frankie Hofmeyer and JustinWard this year.

Elder will open its schedule atrival Oak Hills March 28.

Oak Hills also has five return-ing starters from a team thatwent 18-13 a year ago. The High-landers are looking for their 12thstraight winning season, and todo that they’ll have to try and re-place five productive seniorsthat graduated.

“(Those five seniors) will bevery big shoes that we will needto fill very quickly,” said OakHills coach Chuck Laumann,now in his 22nd season. “The be-ginning of our schedule is brutaland it does not get easier.”

Senior pitcher and third base-man Jonathan Deifel, a KentState signee, leads the Highland-ers. Deifel hit .293 as a juniorwith 20 RBI, 14 stolen bases and27 runs scored. Other returningstarters are seniors JarredDrewes, Matthew Kron, NickBrems and sophomore AustinPenwell, who posted a 1.42 ERAin 19.2 innings as a freshman.

Oak Hills has experienceback on the mound, but the un-known will be scoring runs.

“We have five pitchers backwith experience,” Laumann not-

ed in reference to Deifel,Drewes, Penwell, as well asBrett Cox and Michael Hubert.“The uncertainty of our startinglineup and scoring runs is a con-cern but the unknown is also in-triguing. We need to survive thechallenge of the beginning ofour season.”

Laumann added the early on-slaught of tough opponents will

help the Highlanders get theirfeet wet and garner some big-game experience that will likelyhelp down the road.

Matt Phillips takes the reinsat Western Hills and in his firstseason, the Mustangs shouldpick up where they left off, look-ing for their fourth consecutivewinning season. Last year, WestHigh won the Cincinnati MetroAthletic Conference with a 16-9overall record and 11-1 in theconference.

There were 15 guys on theroster last year and 12 of themreturn so look for a deep, butyoung lineup.

“They are a very young team(only two seniors and one ju-nior),” Phillips noted. “This is ateam that refuses to be out-worked. They have a grit aboutthem that cannot be taught.”

Senior right-handed pitcherChris Reed returns after throw-ing a no-hitter last season andfinishing 4-3 with a 1.34 ERA.Senior Nathan Autenrieb willhelp on the mound and in the out-field. Last year, Autenrieb had25 strikeouts in 24 innings.

The Mustangs are looking foranother monster season from ju-nior middle infielder Tommy

Steadman; he hit .462 with 29RBI last season. Also back willbe sophomore utility fielder andleadoff hitter David Offenbeck-er as well as sophomore pitcherand outfielder Vince McFadden.

The goal this year, Phillipssaid, is to win 20 games, some-thing that hasn’t been done atWest High since the 1986 statechampionship team.

Taylor has a young team, butthe Yellow Jackets are not inex-perienced. Last season, Taylorfinished 13-10 and with just twoseniors. This year, they will de-pend on youth with varsity expe-rience.

“We’re young, having twoseniors it’s a good problem tohave,” said Taylor coach ChrisHannum now in his 18th season.“We have youth with experi-ence, these juniors have played –that’s a plus.”

Junior center fielder HunterGillespie sets the pace for theYellow Jackets along with juniorChris Mutter, who’s the No. 1pitcher and left fielder. For Gil-lespie and Mutter, this will betheir third varsity season. Gil-lespie led the team last season in

With all nine returningstarters from a team thatwent 18-11 a year ago, it’shard to overlook Oak Hills.

The Highlanders, load-ed with experience andtalent, are led by four-yearvarsity players. Seniors:Brooke Shad, BethaniDrew, Emily Wolfzorn andBekah Finn look to be-come the first group inschool history to have fourconsecutive winning sea-sons, according to fifth-year coach Jackie Corne-lius-Bedel. Shad, the ev-eryday returning startingpitcher, posted a 3.88 ERAlast season with 87 strike-outs and 11 wins. Shad,who’ll also play some sec-ond base, hit .310 and led

the team inRBI (22)last season.

JuniorTaylorWilp alsoreturns af-ter havingone of themore im-

pressive seasons in thecity last year. Wilp, a firstteam All-Enquirer selec-tion as a sophomore, hit.478 and led the team inhits (44), runs (25), dou-bles (nine) and stolen bas-es (nine). Wilp had the sec-ond-highest batting aver-age in the Greater MiamiConference last season.

“We were very younglast year with one seniorwho had just one year ofplaying experience,” Cor-nelius-Bedel said. “We’recoming back with experi-enced seniors and a teamwilling to work, so theycan compete.”

Freshman Sami Reese,a 5-foot-11 pitcher, willhave the opportunity tohelp out on the mound thisyear.

Oak Hills, ranked No. 11in The Enquirer Division Iarea coaches’ preseasonpoll, opens the seasonagainst Taylor March 28 atRapid Run at 11 a.m.

Similar to the High-landers, Seton looks

poised for another solidseason. The Saints arecoming off a 13-14 year butthey return eight startersand have a nice blend ofyouth and experience. Se-ton fields six seniors, sixfreshman, three juniorsand three sophomores.

At the top of the rota-tion is senior pitcher AbbyLamping, an Ohio Domin-ican commit, who missedall of her junior season af-ter breaking her ankle inthe first scrimmage of theseason last year.

Senior shortstop Lind-sey Hubbard returnsalong with senior firstbaseman Hannah Weg-man and senior centerfielder Jalee Connor. Hub-bard, headed to SpaldingUniversity next year, hit.295 with 28 hits last year.Wegman hit .329 and wassecond on the Saints inRBI (16).

Juniors Jess Beelerand second baseman Ra-chel Auer also return.Beeler, who will play thirdand the outfield, hit .321with 26 hits a year ago.

Second-year Setoncoach Chrissy Rigginssaid she likes the cohe-siveness of her team.

“They’re not afraid toget dirty, they’re justtough ball players,” Rig-gins said. “We’re probablythe team to beat in theGGCL with so many re-turners coming back ...kind of have an ‘X’ on ourback (which) could be agood thing or bad.”

The Saints start on theroad at Clermont North-eastern March 28.

Taylor will be a younggroup this year, butthere’s no lack of leader-ship for the Yellow Jack-ets. There’s also no short-age of confidence comingoff a 15-7 season and a sec-ond-place finish in theCincinnati Hills Leaguegoing 10-4 in conferenceaction.

Taylor has five return-ing starters in seniors Sa-rah Fellinger, AshleyProffitt, Hannah St. John,junior Kelsey Scudderand sophomore Ashley

Bauer. Fellinger, who hit.386 last year with 32 hits,will slide into the every-day starting pitcher roleafter 22 strikeouts in 18 in-nings last season. Proffittwill catch and play out-field; St. John will playfirst base and Scudderwill be in the outfield.Bauer returns at short-stop; she hit .383 with 23RBI and 10 doubles lastseason.

Taylor only has threeseniors, but first-yearcoach Jessica Ambers hasbeen pleased with theleadership across theboard.

“I’ve got a really strongsenior class in the sense ofleadership,” Ambers said.“I think that leadershipwill help bring our team

together and be ready toplay.”

The Yellow Jacketsopen the year on the roadat Oak Hills March 28.

Mercy has been wait-ing for nearly a year to be-gin a new softball seasonso the Bobcats can offi-cially move on from their1-17 season last year. Mer-cy has just one returningstarter – senior BrookeSchierenbeck – but theBobcats have a group offive seniors that haveplayed together all fouryears and would like toturn things around in theirfinal high school season.

“The one main thing isteam chemistry,” saidfirst-year Mercy coachElizabeth Mahon. “Theyknow they weren’t very

good last year. There weresome struggles and wehope this year will be dif-ferent. We’re not the sameteam from last year.”

Stepping into moreprominent roles this yearare seniors Jess Richterand Liz Neville along withjunior Hailey Siefert.Richter’s the everydaystarting pitcher and Nev-ille will be behind the dish.Mahon noted that the big-gest area the Bobcatswould like to improve istheir hitting and run-scor-ing ability.

“Right now, we’ve beenworking on hitting. Lastyear they weren’t makingvery good contact,” Ma-hon said.

Mercy’s season startson the road at Loveland

March 30.Now in her second sea-

son, Western Hills coachAmanda Carpenter hasnoticed a closeness on herteam, which returns allnine starters.

“I like the camaraderieof our team; we play verywell together,” Carpentersaid. “From last year tothis year they’ve becomelike a family.”

Look for junior out-fielder and shortstop Sa-yanna Jones to have a pro-ductive season, especiallyat the plate. Carpentersaid Jones has workedhard in the offseason atthe Cincinnati Reds Ur-ban Youth Academy. Alsoback is junior startingpitcher Sonja Rembert.

“(Sonja) wants to bedominant again on themound,” Carpenter said.

Lone senior, ReneeConners, who will playsecond base and be a lead-er at the plate, will lead theMustangs.

West High will open theseason April 1 at homeagainst Clark Montessori.

There’s a nice mix ofyouth and experience at

La Salle this season andthe Lancers hope that tal-ent comes together tospell trouble for oppo-nents.

Seven starters returnfrom last year’s 12-13team that won just twoconference games in theGreater Catholic LeagueSouth.

Leading the Lancersthis year will be seniorsNick Ernst, Nigel Wil-liams, Anthony Bell andEric Greene; all of whomwere second team All-GCL last season.

Ernst, signed with Mi-ami University, was 2-1with a 3.00 ERA and ateam-high 32 strikeouts in32 innings pitched. Wil-liams is signed with LakeErie College. Bell led theteam in RBI (21) and sto-len bases (seven) with a.289 average. Greene hit.320 with 11 RBI. Alsokeep an eye on junior in-fielder Tim Casey, who LaSalle coach Joe Voegele

said will be a key defen-sive player this season.

Voegele said this LaSalle team has the poten-tial to be a very good of-fensive team and he likesthe mix of younger and

older guys. La Salle opens its sea-

son on the road at Milfordat noon March 28.

After a middle-of-the-row season a year ago (at13-13), St. Xavier hopes its

six returning starters andnew faces can improveupon that record thisbaseball season. Back forthe Bombers are seniorsSpencer Helwig, EricJaun, Nate Winning andA.J. Getter as well as ju-niors Noah Mehrle andJ.P. Bitzenhofer. Getter, asenior pitcher who threw37 innings last year with20 strikeouts, is likely thestaff’s ace, according tosecond-year coach BobSherlock. Senior pitcherJohn Klare will be a keyreliever; Sherlock saidhe’s the type of guy youwant available to throwevery night if necessary.

Winning, a seniorpitcher and first base-man, was the team’sthree-hole hitter for muchof last year where he com-piled a .383 average with18 hits in 47 plate appear-ances. Jaun, who’s movingfrom shortstop to centerfield, led the Bombers lastseason in at bats (77) and

hits (28) while hitting .364with 10 RBI.

“They come to play ev-ery day,” Sherlock de-scribed his team.“They’ve had a great off-season; they’re enthusias-tic, passionate and reallyenjoy one another asteammates.”

Sherlock said now it’s amatter of gaining experi-ence and producing in theGreater Catholic LeagueSouth. The questions ariseat the plate for Sherlockand his team.

“We’ve got some guysthat can swing the batpretty well, but some ofthose guys are younger,”Sherlock said. “We’re gon-na face some pretty goodcompetition this year, lit-erally one of the toughestschedules in Ohio. Defen-sively, I think we can playwith anybody. Offensive-ly, it remains to be seen.”

The Bombers open athome with Badin at noonMarch 28.

Anytime you are atfault in a driving acci-dent you can expect allinsurance companies toknow. That’s what Jerry,from Rising Sun, Indi-ana, says he’s learned.

He writes,” How canmy insurance companyraise my rates on anaccident that was paid bymy wife’s insurance inher car? My rates willnot be reduced for threeyears. (My insurancecompany) had nothing inthe game whatsoever,and are profiting for noreason.”

Jerry goes on to write,“They go by a CLUEreport that says I was thedriver in a paid-accidentclaim. But still, it hadnothing to do with (myinsurance company).”

That CLUE report iscritical to your insurance

companylearningabout theaccident.Anytimeyou file aliabilityclaim withan insur-ance com-pany it isreported to

the Comprehensive LossUnderwriting Exchange.

Usually, your CLUEscore is assessed whenyour insurance policycomes up for renewal.Any monetary claim youfile with an insurancecompany is reported toCLUE. All your claimsare grouped together soan insurer can assessyour insurance behaviorpatterns. So, several autoinsurance claims can, forinstance, lead to higher

premiums for yourhomeowners insurance.

To avoid increasedinsurance rates its bestto file as few claims aspossible. Don’t file aclaim for small amountsif they are only slightlymore than your deduct-ible. Save any insuranceclaims you may file formajor, costly accidents.That will keep yourCLUE score as low aspossible which will saveyou money on premiumsfor every type of insur-ance policy you buy.

Any insurance claimyou file will remain inthe CLUE database forseven years from thedate you filed them.Some insurance compa-nies keep track of yourcalls if you ask whetheryou are covered for aloss – and such calls can

later be used against you– but such information isnot reported to CLUE.

Statistics show if youfiled an insurance claimin the past, you’re morelikely to do so in thefuture. The amount ofthe claim, officials say, isless important than thenumber of times you file.

Your insurance premi-ums are also determinedby other factors includ-ing your age, gender,marital status, occupa-tion, education level, andcredit score. That creditscore tells companieshow much debt you car-ry and whether or not

you pay your bills ontime.

The Insurance In-formation Institute saysstudies show how peoplemanage their money is agood indicator of wheth-er they will file an insur-ance claim.

Remember, the biggerthe risk you are to the

insurance company, thehigher the premiumyou’ll be charged—oryou may even be deniedcoverage.
