WESTWOOD — West Sideresidents are invited to jointhe Cincinnati Police Depart-ment in marking the grandopening of the new District 3police headquarters.

A celebration and ribboncutting is set for 6:30 p.m. to8:30 p.m. Thursday, June 25, atthe new station, 2300 Fergu-son Road, Westwood.

Built as a sustainable, ener-gy efficient and environmen-tally-friendly facility meetingLEED Platinum status, thenew station is designed to gen-erate as much energy as itconsumes. It replaces the dis-trict’s technologically andphysically insufficient head-quarters in East Price Hill onWarsaw Avenue, which datesback to 1908.

“The great thing about thenew station is that it’s morecentrally located in the dis-trict,” West Price Hill resi-dent and neighborhood activ-ist Pete Witte said. “It givesthe police the best base of op-eration they could possiblyhave, given the amount ofcalls for service in District 3.”

Westwood resident MaryJenkins, president of theWestwood Civic Association,echoed Witte’s point about thestation’s central location, say-ing it will help quicken policeresponse time and offers aclearer representation of the14 neighborhoods the districtcovers.

“It’s very good for all ofDistrict 3 that the new head-quarters is centrally located. Ithink it’s very helpful it’s lo-cated between Price Hill andWestwood, which are twoneighborhoods that demand alot of services,” she said.

“We’re very glad to wel-come them to the neighbor-hood and look forward to theadditional space that can beused for community and po-lice engagement.”

Katherine Keough-Jurs,Cincinnati’s senior city plan-ner, said the 39,000-square-feet, $16 million building is the

first new police station thecity has built in more than 40years. Beyond its sustainabledesign and technological up-grades, the station also fea-tures community gatheringspace and art.

City planners worked withcommunity members to de-termine the site for the stationand a 25-member communityadvisory team worked witharchitects and the construc-tion team to define the build-ing’s public spaces and makedecisions regarding artwork.

“Because the communityhad been so involved in the se-lection of the site for the newheadquarters, we also wantedthem to be a part of the designand infuse their ideas for thepublic community spaces,”Keough-Jurs said.

Based on input from resi-dents, she said the station’sexterior plaza has 14 columnsrepresenting the district’sneighborhoods and the build-ing has a rain garden with acommunity feature.

An artistic map displayingthe district’s neighborhoodsadorns a wall in the lobby ofthe station, and the map in-cludes images of iconic build-ings, parks or public spacesfrom each neighborhood. Theglass walls of the station’scommunity room also are alsodecorated with notable build-ings from each neighborhood,laser-etched into the glass.

“It’s an incredibly cool pro-ject,” Keough-Jurs said.“We’ve never engaged thecommunity to this extent witha public building. This hasbeen a fantastic process.”

She said the city’s planningdepartment will likely use theDistrict 3 project as a modelfor future public buildings.

At the heart of it all, Wittesaid the new station will allowthe police department to bet-ter serve residents of theWest Side.

“It’s a modern facility, ap-propriately sized and builtwith all the resources the po-lice need to provide the bestand highest quality service,”he said.

KURT BACKSCHEIDER/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

The Cincinnati Police Department will celebrate the grand opening ofthe new District 3 police station with a ribbon cutting Thursday, June25. The 39,000-square-feet, $16 million facility is the first new policestation the city has built in more than 40 years.

A spat is escalating between ayouth football organization andOak Hills Local Schools, with thedistrict telling the Little High-landers they must either sign alogo usage agreement, or theycan’t wear the classic “OH” logoor use district facilities for prac-tices or games.

It seemed in May the squab-ble was resolved. The LittleHighlanders relented andsigned the agreement. However,they requested a binding arbi-tration clause be added.

The Oak Hills Board of Edu-cation debated the matter in ex-ecutive session, ultimately vot-ing against the arbitrationclause.

So now, the fight rages on.The district issued a press re-

lease Thursday afternoon, stat-ing the Little Highlanders are“not in good standing.”

“I really feel sorry for theyouth football players involvedin the Little Highlanders organi-zation,” said superintendentTodd Yohey in the release. “As aresult of their adult leaders’ re-fusal to sign the OH logo usageagreement, the student athletesinvolved with Little Highland-ers will not be participating in oron school facilities, nor wearingthe Old English OH on uni-forms.”

The dustup stems all the wayback to September 2013, whenthe Oak Hills Athletic Boosters

CHEVIOT — Organizers of theannual WestFest in Cheviothave made a major change tothe summer celebration.

The two-day street festivalpresented by the Cheviot West-wood Community Associationwill be completely fenced in andhave a $2 admission charge thisyear.

After listening to residents,city officials, patrons and ven-dors, the WestFest committeedecided to gate the festival andcharge a small admission fee asa way to help control crowds.

“We wanted to make sure wehave a safe event,” said associa-tion member Bonnie Perrino,who serves as chairwoman ofWestFest.

“People come out and have agreat time, and we want them tobe safe.”

There will be marked en-

trance gates at all street inter-sections and, upon paying ad-mission, patrons will receive awristband they must wear dur-ing the event. Admission is freefor children 12 and younger, andall children under age 18 mustbe accompanied by a parent orlegal guardian.

An estimated 30,000 peoplewill attend the 14th annual streetfestival, which takes place 1p.m. to midnight Saturday, June27, and 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday,June 28, in the heart of Cheviotat Harrison and Glenmore ave-nues.

Perrino, who has helped or-ganize WestFest from the verybeginning, said those who at-tend will find all the food and at-tractions that have made thefestival a summer tradition.

This year’s food vendors in-clude favorites the likes ofGary’s Cheesecakes, Humbert’sMeats, Maury’s Tiny Cove,N.Y.P.D. Pizza and Sandy’s Hi-lo

cheeseburgers. A new food ven-dor this year is F&N GoodeChick’n Tenders from West-wood.

The festival’s two stages willoffer 22 live music and enter-tainment acts throughout theweekend, and the family-friend-ly Kidz Zone has a variety ofgames and rides for children.Perrino said a $12 ride braceletallowing for unlimited rides isavailable from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.each day.

A variety of area merchantswill have retail booths set upagain this year, and she said theCheviot Police Association ispresenting a cornhole tourna-ment on Sunday.

Cheviot Mayor Samu-el Keller said the city isproud to host the festivaleach year and showcasethe great businesses inthe area, and is thankfulto the Cheviot WestwoodCommunity Associationand its sponsors formaking it happen.

“WestFest started 14years ago as a small

event to focus attentionon our communities andattract visitors whomight not otherwise findtheir way here,” he said.

“Since then it hasgrown in size and popu-larity to become thelargest street festival onthe West Side. And it hasstayed true to its mis-sion: all proceeds bene-fit local projects thathelp people right here inour community.”

Perrino said the allthe hard work she andthe hundreds of volun-teers who help plan andrun the event put in isworthwhile becausetheir efforts allow themto give back to the com-munity. She said pro-ceeds go toward the an-nual Cheviot nativityscene, area libraries,scholarships, wintercoats for neighborhoodchildren and school artand music programs.

“I’m proud of whatWestFest has become,”she said. “It’s nice to seethe community comingtogether and supportingour event, and it’s a lot offun to walk around thefestival and see peopleyou haven’t seen for along time.”

asked organizations usingthe logo to pay a $25 feeand agree to a list of terms.Sixteen groups were sentthe initial request, accord-ing to previous Enquirercoverage. One opted out,saying it had no intentionof using the logo, and theremaining 14, includingthe Little Highlanderscheerleaders, have signedthe agreement.

Oak Hills has sincedropped the $25 fee, and

the boosters transferredownership of the logo tothe district, records show.

In a letter sent Thurs-day to the Little Highland-ers’ attorney BruceKnabe, the district’s attor-ney Bill Deters wrote thatthe proposal for bindingarbitration is “not accept-able.” The Highlandershave until Aug. 1 to eithersign the agreement as-is,or they will be denied per-mission to use district fa-cilities.

The Highlanders firedback a letter of their own,arguing they have an “un-qualified” right to wearthe “OH,” but out of re-spect for the logo, theysigned the agreement with“very minor modifica-tions.”

“Since 1974, the OakHills Little Highlandershas proudly and openlyworn the ‘OH’ ServiceMark on its uniforms andhelmets. We wear it withrespect, and we have beena credit to the symbol,” theletter states.

“Very simply, we veryreasonably added a stan-dard binding arbitrationclause as a vehicle to re-solve any future disputesregarding our use of the‘OH’ Service Mark.”

What is it aboutvintage recipesthat intriguesme so? I guessit’s about the

history, a time when recipesharing was done by passingwritten or typed recipes byhand, sometimes when folks

gathered togeth-er for a morningcoffee break atsomeone’s home.

I was giftedwith such a won-derful lot ofrecipes fromDonna Wright, aClermont Coun-ty reader whowanted me tohave her Mom’s

and Grandma’s recipes. In-cluded with vintage cookbookswas a wooden box with thehandwritten and typed recipes,often with notes on the recipesby the cook. When I lookedthrough the box, I was sur-prised at the number of cakes,both for breakfast, brunch anddessert. We like a simple cin-namon coffee cake, one thatcan be made with the littleones and mixed by hand.

The recipe I’m sharing to-day from that wooden box isjust such a recipe. It’s calledquick coffee cake but I gave itan additional name. This coffeecake is really easy to make andnot too sweet or gooey. Perfectwith an morning cup of tea!

Quick coffee cake akaNot a fancy coffee cake

How much is a heapingtablespoon? The butter shouldmound up on the spoon. Iadapted the recipe only slight-ly. I made this by hand with awhisk.

1 heaping tablespoon butter1/2 cup sugar

1 egg1/2 cup milk1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla1-1/2 cups all purpose flour2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon saltPreheat oven to 325. Melt butter. Beat egg and

sugar together. Beat in butter.Add milk and vanilla and beathard. Add dry ingredients,which you have mixed togeth-er. (I just whisked them togeth-er). Blend but don’t over beat.Pour into greased and flouredpan. (I used spray).

Then mix together:3 tablespoons sugar1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamonThe recipe said to sprinkle

this on top which I did. Nexttime I’ll swirl it into the batterso that if I would choose toglaze it, the glaze won’t pull thetopping up.

Bake 30 minutes or so justuntil toothpick inserted incenter comes out clean. Don’tover bake or cake will be dry.

Glaze (opt)I just made a confectioners

sugar glaze with a cup of con-fectioners sugar and enoughwater to make a glaze. Startwith 3 tablespoons water.

Refrigerator or freezerpickles

No, I didn’t make a mistakein the title. These pickles do goin the freezer and yes, they areamazingly crisp after thawing.My sister, Sonia, loves hergarden and each year makesthese awesome pickles. ForJudy N., who wanted the recipeand also wanted to know if shecould add some fresh dill sinceher dill will be ready when herpickling cucumbers are. Theanswer is yes. I think it wouldgive the pickles another ele-ment of flavor and, after all,

dill is one of the ingredients inpickling spice.

4 cups thinly sliced cucum-bers, unpeeled

1 medium onion, sliced thin2 tablespoons saltUp to 1-1/2 cups sugar - I use

less but just go to taste1/2 cup vinegar1-1/2 teaspoons pickling

spice1 red bell pepper, diced (opt)1 clove garlic, smashed (opt)Arrange cucumbers and

onions in large bowl. Sprinklewith salt and mix. Pour enoughwater over to just cover them.Stir again. Soak at room tem-perature for 2 hours. Drain,but don’t rinse. Meanwhile,mix sugar, vinegar and pick-ling spice in small saucepan.Bring to a simmer and cookuntil sugar dissolves. Let coolwhile pickles are soaking.After pickles have beendrained, add bell pepper, thenpour pickling brine over them.

Mix. Put into containers. Letmarinate overnight in refriger-ator before eating. Keeps atleast three weeks in frig, or upto six months in freezer.

June 17 questionWhat is your favorite sum-

mer vacation story (somethingthat you personally experi-enced)?

“One of my favorite sum-mer vacations was spentworking to help poor peopleback in the hollers of Appala-chia working very hard andsweating my behind off with agroup of youth and adultsfrom our church. It was dusty,dirty, hot, sticky, buggy, spi-dery, yucky and hard workbut it was one of the more re-warding times of my life see-ing a bunch of kids (includinga couple of girly girls) nevercomplain doing it, and moreimportantly seeing the sheergratitude from the home own-ers for what we had done forthem. It was life lifting.”

M.J.F.

“Many years ago my em-ployer needed me to assist aclient in Florida. As I could flyor drive, I drove and took myfamily. Needless to say thisprovided a ‘free’ vacation forus. As luck would have it I wasnot that busy working mostdays and could also enjoy thestay. Vacations are great, butfree vacations are even bet-ter. Go Figure!”

This month the Price HillHistorical Society and Mu-seum, 900 members strong,celebrates 25 years of commu-nity service.

Back in 1990, LarrySchmolt, Price Hill Civic Clubpresident, encouraged CivicClub members with an interestin researching their homes tostart a new club. Inspired byhim, 25 people joined togetherto start a historical society.

Deborah Horning, the firstcoordinator led with drive, zealand passion. Mike Maio, afounding member and realestate attorney, taught themhow to maneuver the Record-ers Office to research thehistory of their homes. Butthat was just the beginning.

Their first year, theyworked feverishly for twomonths to complete a bookabout Price Hill’s historichomes, publishing it to coin-cide with the Price Hill CivicClub’s 75th anniversary cele-bration. Two home tours quick-ly followed. The next year theybrought back the Price Hill

ThanksgivingDay Paradewith all theexcitement ofkings andqueens,marchingbands and funfloats!

Their firstmeetings werein the St. Law-

rence Flower Shop, at St. Law-rence corner. Soon they out-grew the space and moved tothe second floor of the Horn-ing’s carpenter shop behindtheir Glenway residence.Memorabilia and documentsmultiplied, overflowing thespace so they began meeting atDunham, in parks, churchesand even funeral homes.

With so much Price Hillhistory stored in the carpentershop they worried it might bedamaged or mistaken fortrash. Valda Moore and BettyWagner, two founding mem-bers who today remain activein the organization, volun-teered to catalog and preserve

it for future generations.The space was unheated,

with no air conditioning orbathroom facilities. Still, theypersevered. They trackeddown sources, recording dataon all acquisitions, tedious andfrustrating, two and half yearslater, they had completed thework.

Their efforts convincedthem a permanent home wasvital for their treasure trove. Itwas luck, or maybe destiny,that the Provident Bank build-ing on Warsaw Avenue becameavailable at that very time.With a lot of trepidation and agreat sense of mission, thebuilding was purchased withdonations and lots of fundraising. By 2000, they ownedthe building outright.

The museum is filled withfascinating memorabilia,rooms to explore, a library andso much more. The HistoricalSociety and Museum operatessolely with volunteers. Allitems have been donated.

During their 25 years thePrice Hill Historical Society

has had a major impact ontheir community; fightingdiligently to save historicstructures, hosting home andchurch tours, organizing edu-cational projects and socialevents. In 2000 they assumedsponsorship of Price Hill Dayat Coney and have establisheda publishing company, theBold Face Press. Recentlytheir vigilant efforts contrib-uted to saving the historicMasonic Temple on Price Ave-nue. They have made a visibledifference in the neighbor-hood.

The Museum, at 3640 War-saw Ave., is open Tuesdays andThursdays from 1 p.m. to 4p.m. Meetings are on the firstWednesday of each month.New members and visitors arealways welcome. Call 251-2888for more information.

The office of sheriff wasthe first county office estab-lished in the United States.Even the Northwest Territoryhad one. After the Revolu-tionary War ended, the colonialgovernor appointed Col. Ebe-nezer Sproat as sheriff in 1788.

His parents owned a farmand Sproat’s Tavern in Middle-borough, Massachusetts. Afterhis birth until he joined theArmy, he worked the farm andtavern. He was on leave fromhe Army when two soldierscame into the tavern for din-ner. When they asked for thebill they found he had paid itand wished them well on theirway.

In his eight years from1775-1783, he served in variousbranches of the New Jerseymilitary. In the Army he ruledwith discipline and kindness,and was a favorite with bothofficers and enlisted men. Heserved in the battles of Tren-ton, Princeton, MonmouthLexington and Concord. By the

end of the warhe was pro-moted to colo-nel.

He wasserving as anofficer of the4th Massachu-setts Regimentand winteredat ValleyForge with

Gen. George Washington dur-ing the rough winter of winter1777. His most painful duty ofthe war was a mutiny in a NewJersey Regiment in 1781. Hewas sent with 500 men to sup-press it. After it was sup-pressed he conducting thecourt marshal of the threeringleaders; two of the menwere sentenced and executedon the spot.

After the war, Sproat livedin Providence, Rhode Island,where he married CatherineWhipple, daughter of Commo-dore Abraham Whipple of theContinental Navy. He bought a

store and worked as a mer-chant, but was not successful.In 1786, he was appointed assurveyor for the state ofRhode Island, and went to Ohioto survey the new territory.While there he bought stock inthe Ohio Company of Asso-ciates and proceeded to partic-ipate in the development ofMarietta.

As a tall red haired man,Sproat had made an impres-sion on everyone, including thelocal Indians who nicknamedhim “Big Buckeye.” Somepeople believe this is wherethe nickname “Buckeyes” forOhioans originated. He be-came a leader of the militia atMarietta during the NorthwestIndian War. When the openingfor sheriff of the NorthwestTerritory was established hewas appointed the first sheriff.

His territory consisted ofabout half of Ohio, from theOhio River in the south andLake Erie in the north. Hepatrolled his territory on

horseback with two dogs fol-lowing. After he was appointedsheriff, he marched trium-phantly up the main thorough-fare on a horse with his sworddrawn. He immediately con-vened the first session of theCourt of Common Pleas forWashington County. It was thefirst court convened in thenew Northwest Territory.There were no cases, so heimmediately adjourned.

Sproat served as sheriff ofWashington County for 14years until Ohio became astate and the position becamean elected instead of an ap-pointed position. He died inMarietta in1805 and is buriedin Mound Cemetery in Mariet-ta.

WESTERN HILLS — This sum-mer, the Cincinnati Steam arecelebrating 10 years of amateursummer college baseball atMax McLeary Field on Fergu-son Avenue.

To celebrate, the Steam willdo as they’ve always done: lace‘em up and play.

This season, they’ll do thatunder first-time manager PatHyde, a former catcher atNorthern Kentucky Universityoriginally from Chicago. Hydewas a Steam assistant prior toearning the head gig.

Hyde’s a common commodi-ty for the Steam, who employmany aspiring for careers inbaseball.

“I want to put them in thebest position for them to be suc-cessful. I want these guys tocome in for the summer and bythe time they leave I want themto go back to their school betterthan when they left,” Hyde said.“I want them to grow and ma-ture as people and also as base-ball players.”

The Steam compete in theGreat Lakes Summer Colle-giate League, one of the pre-mier summer baseball leaguesin the country (arguably secondonly to Cape Cod), a wooden batleague comprised of playerswith remaining college eligibil-ity. Roughly 17 locals play on theSteam this year, as well as guysfrom Michigan, Indiana, Illi-nois, Kentucky and South Caro-lina.

After 11 games, the Steamare off to a 4-6-1 start. At theplate, the Steam have been ledby Jake Richmond (Universityof Cincinnati), who’s hitting.444, and Trey Ganns (NorthernKentucky), who’s hitting .351with eight RBI. Max Foley (Ev-ansville) has been hot with a .341average, 14 hits and eight RBI.

On the mound, Hunter Dunn(Eastern Kentucky) has a 4.23ERA and a team-high 17 inningswith 23 strikeouts. Nick Beard(Northern Kentucky) has a 3.60ERA and nine strikeouts in 10 in-nings.

“We have a very talentedteam. We’re very young,” saidHyde. “Getting guys into theright spot in the right situation.You learn how to pick theirbrain … you want to see whattheir thought process is andtheir baseball instinct.”

According to Brady Laber,Steam director of baseball oper-ations, the Steam has had 32

SPRINGFIELD TWP. — Adver-sity exists in every run, espe-cially the long ones.

For the last four years at St.Xavier High School, MichaelVitucci and Brad Eagan haveshouldered that adversity to-gether as part of a powerhousedistance running crew thatfound the podium at will incross country and track.

The pair have literallylogged thousands of miles to-gether, according to Vitucci,who said he’s recorded all ofhis runs since freshman yearand it amounts to more than6,000 miles. But, it could havebeen more, if Vitucci’s senioryear hadn’t ended early be-cause of a “stress reaction onthe bottom right fibula and apartial tear of the peronealtendon,” he explained.

Vitucci, signed to run at theUniversity of Cincinnati, stillattempted to train for the statemeet, but two weeks out thepain lingered and he decidedto shut it down.

“When I first thought it wasgonna be a stress fracture, Icried,” Vitucci said. “I was dis-traught because I’ve gonethree and a half years withouta serious injury and I wasn’tnear being done. There wererecords I was going after likethe state mile record.”

Vitucci, who won the Divi-sion I state cross countrychampionship as a senior andwon two track state champion-ships as a junior in the 1,600meters and the 4x800 relay,said by the time he made thecall to shut it down he hadcome to grips with it.

“The end of my senior yearisn’t going to determine howmy career ended up. I wasn’tgoing to be super heartbro-ken,” said Vitucci.

With his longtime runningmate and friend out for theseason, Eagan thrived. Eagan,who was a member of St. Xavi-er’s 4x800 state championshiprelay in 2014 and also placed10th overall in cross country,continued St. Xavier’s statepodium streak taking secondplace in the 1,600.

“It was a lot of fun, but itwasn’t nearly as fun as it hasbeen when we have five or sixguys going to the state meet,”said Eagan who will run atMarquette and study mechan-ical engineering. “It proved tome that I was good enough tomake it to state, and to takesecond was an eye-opener thatI can run with some of the bestin the state.”

Vitucci wasn’t going to misshis friend run at Jesse OwensMemorial Stadium.

“It was so awesome to seehim get second place. I was sohappy for him,” Vitucci said.

“Being able to train with aguy like Michael, with all theaccomplishments he’s had, itgives you a constant goal be-cause everyone by defaultwants to be as fast as him atsome point,” Eagan said. “Iknow that definitely helped

me in the past season … mybiggest goal was to be able totrain at a pace as close to or asfast as Michael.”

By Vitucci’s count, he andEagan have run around 3,000miles together during highschool.

MONFORT HEIGHTS —Over the course of a mar-riage that reached 33years on Feb. 2, PamKromer has lost count ofthe number of the timesshe’s heard her husband,Chuck, describe THE play.

Yet she still listenedlast week with rapt atten-tion as the former La SalleLancers’ forward wentthrough the dramatic, dis-appointing conclusion toone of the most improba-ble tournament runs in thehistory of Ohio high schoolbasketball.

The block by 6-foot-8Cleveland East Tech sen-ior center Ray Reynolds ofKromer’s layup preservedthe Scarabs’ 63-62 winover La Salle in the semi-finals of the 1967 Class AAstate tournament at OhioState University’s St. JohnArena.

That La Salle even wasthere was more stunningthan the decisive play –stunning, that is, to every-body but the Lancers.They went into the tourna-ment after bumpingthrough an injury-plaguedregular season that endedwith a 7-11 record, thenreeled off seven straightwins to capture the South-west District regionalchampionship for what –at the time – was the state’sbig-school division.

Along the way, theywere labeled in headlinesas “Lucky” and “DarkHorse” and “Cinderella.”That last designation stillrankles Kromer.

“They didn’t under-stand that I missed thewhole first half of the sea-son, and we only gothealthy at the end of theyear,” said Kromer, a 6-4senior co-captain with Ter-ry Sillis – Sillies during hisplaying days beforechanging his name, drop-ping the “e.” “It wasn’t aCinderella team. We sim-ply became healthyenough to become theteam we should have beenall year long.”

Sillis, another 6-4 sen-ior forward who led LaSalle in scoring and re-bounding, also takes issuewith the labels.

“Actually, we were thewrecking balls,” said Sil-lis, who owns a MonfortHeights-based construc-tion company. “Physically,we just beat teams up. Weoutrebounded everybody.We were on the boards.Sometimes, that was ourgame plan. You say Cin-derella? I don’t think so.There was nothing prettyabout us.”

La Salle, which openedits doors for the 1960-61school year – the sameyear as Moeller – was injust its fifth season of var-sity basketball. St. XavierHigh School and XavierUniversity product BillCady, who’d coachedMcNicholas before takingover at La Salle, alreadywas building a noteworthy

program. The first threeseasons featured the ex-ploits of center DickHaucke, who became thefirst player in local historyto lead the area in scoringin each of three consecu-tive seasons.

Two seasons afterHaucke graduated, LaSalle went into the seasonwith high expectationsbased on the return of allfive starters from the pre-vious season, includingSillis, Kromer, twin broth-ers Ed and Don Schweg-man and 6-foot guard BillHuellemeier. All were sen-iors, as was 6-6 StevePoppe, while sharpshoot-ing 6-2 junior Jim Ruwesplit time with Huelle-meier.

Their rugged style ofplay stemmed from play-ing on the junior varsityunder coach Bob Wiesen-hahn, a McNicholas prod-uct who’d built a reputa-tion for hard-nosed playbut also led the 1960-1961University of CincinnatiBearcats in scoring ontheir way to winning theNCAA championship.

“If anything, he mademe tough,” Kromer said.“He would throw elbowswith the best of them. Hewould just nail you to theground.”

Sometimes it back-fired, recalled Ed Schweg-man, the 6-4 center.

“We worked hard oneach other,” said Schweg-man, who’s retired and liv-ing in Guilford, Ind. “Wetended to injure each oth-er.”

That self-destructivetendency came back toplague La Salle. Kromerwas kneed in the left thighduring a pre-season prac-tice so severely that hesuffered a torn muscle andbone bruise that forcedhim to miss the first 14games of the season. Heeschewed surgery thatprobably would have costhim the season, and he stillwasn’t 100 percent whenhe came back, but a bulkypad fashioned by Cadyfrom the foam rubber of aseat cushion allowed himto at least return to thecourt.

“I remember my dadcrying because the stu-dent section gave me astanding ovation when Icame in off the bench,”Kromer said. “Eddie andTerry were grinning be-cause we were finally allback together.”

Kromer wasn’t the onlycasualty. Schwegman hadcartilage problems in hisright knee and recallsPoppe breaking a finger.Sillis had ankle issues.

Kromer’s return gavethe Lancers a fresh look,which was highlighted bynew uniforms issued forthe post-season. Instead of“La Salle” in block letterson the jerseys, the Lancerswore jerseys with “Lanc-ers” or “La Salle” spelledout in a catchy scriptacross the front.

La Salle opened the sec-tional tournament with a75-60 win over Mc-Nicholas, setting up a sec-ond-round matchup at Xa-vier’s Schmidt Fieldhousewith Elder, which hadbeaten the Lancers twiceby double figures on the

way to a Greater Cincin-nati League (now GreaterCatholic League) champi-onship and No. 1 tourna-ment seed.

Sillis scored 17 points tolead four players in doublefigures and La Salle built awhopping 59-24 advantagein rebounds on the way to asatisfying 65-47 win.

“The team that beatthem they didn’t play thefirst two times,” Kromersaid.

Victories over Hughes– punctuated by a briefpost-game fight betweenKromer and a Big Redplayer – and Norwood setup a district championshipgame against Mariemontat the University of Cin-cinnati’s Armory Field-house. In what would bethe Lancers’ closest shave,Huellemeier scored all ofhis 10 points in the secondhalf to lead La Salle from a50-46 deficit going into thefourth quarter to a 63-60win and the program’s

first district champion-ship.

Tipp City Tippecanoeand its stiff defense wasLa Salle’s regional semifi-nal opponent at CincinnatiGardens, but the Lancerswere even more stingy,limiting the Red Devils toa season-low in points in a49-44 win.

“Whenever we got theball in close, it looked like aforest of arms in there,”Tippecanoe coach JimBlasingame said. “Theycovered us like a blanket.”

Colerain, also celebrat-ing a first-ever districtchampionship after beat-ing Hamilton Taft,knocked off Dayton Dun-bar in the other semifinal,creating a regional finalbetween teams fromschools just a few milesapart.

The Lancers resortedto their dependable gameplan, outrebounding theCardinals 20-5 in the sec-ond half and 41-13 in the

game on the way to a 70-58win.

Kromer scored 18 of histeam-high 22 points in thesecond half after Sillis gotLa Salle started by scoring10 of his 15 points in thefirst quarter of what heconsiders to be the bestwin of the run.

“Here we are, La Salle,a relatively new highschool, while Colerain waskind of established andthey got more press,” hesaid.

The win was so momen-tous that La Salle actuallyneeded two trophies tocommemorate it. Kromerrecalls and Sillis confirmsthat one of the ChristianBrothers – the religious or-der that started the school– dropped it out a movingconvertible while cele-brating a bit too enthusias-tically. The trophy was runover by another car, theysaid, and had to be re-placed.

The Lancers becamejust the fifth HamiltonCounty team to reach thebig-school state semifi-nals. Looming was 20-2East Tech, a frequent statetournament qualifierwhich would have beenundefeated except for for-feiting two wins for usingan overage player.

The game, televised lo-cally by WLWT on a state-wide broadcast, was closethroughout. Ed Schweg-man gave La Salle a 2-0lead with two free throws,but Cady took him out, andhe never went back in – adevelopment that stillmystifies him, Kromerand Sillis. Cady wentstrictly with five playersthe rest of the game, ap-parently believing Poppe’sheight advantage gave LaSalle a better shot againstEast Tech.

“That game for most ofus was pretty boring,” Ed

Schwegman said. “I didn’tgo back in. My brotherdidn’t play. That was onething that was differentthan any other game in thetournament.”

Poppe and Sillis eachscored 19 points and Huel-lemeier added 12, and withLa Salle in the game theentire way, Cady – whodied June 25, 2012 – appar-ently saw no reason tomake changes.

The Lancers led, 48-45,going into the fourth quar-ter, but a spirited Scarabscomeback left the lead, 63-60, with time running out.La Salle scored to cut thelead to one and forced aturnover to regain posses-sion. Cady called a timeoutto set up the final play,which involved getting Sil-lis an open shot from theleft wing with Kromer cut-ting to the basket for a pos-sible rebound.

“You remember thosethings forever,” Sillis said.“(The Scarabs) all came tome. I wanted the shot, buthe was wide open. I’m like,‘Are you kidding me?’ I re-member thinking as Ipassed it, ‘We just won thestate championship.’ (Rey-nolds) turned around like arocket. I thought it was go-ing to be called a foul.”

Reynolds’ block ofKromer’s shot as time ranout was clean, Kromersaid.

“Just as I got it, I lookedout of the corner of my eyeand saw that center com-ing,” he said. “I had two op-tions. I could fake it andhope the guy goes up, butwe only had two or threeseconds left, and I wasafraid if I faked it, the gunwould go off with me hold-ing the ball. I didn’t haveany option. I went up ashigh as I could.”

That’s as high as he andthose Lancers wouldclimb.
