Catholic Schools Week

LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER

As part of Catholic Schools Week, McAuley High School, in CollegeHill, invited University of Cincinnati President Santa Ono for a visitand a chance to meet some of the students. McAuley Principal DanMinelli, from left, with Ono, Kylie Montgomery, freshman, MireyTaite, sophomore, and Katie Bergmann, sophomore. This is Minelli'sfirst year at McAuley.

The idea of having a “kit-bag”for packing your troubles in wassomething for WWI soldiers tosing about.

Foster children in the Cincin-nati area might be singing a simi-lar tune when they too receivebags from the “Cases for Love”suitcase drive started by CollegeHill resident Julie Phillippi-Whitney.

For this drive, residentsthroughout Southwestern Ohio,Northern Kentucky, Southeast-ern Indiana and Dayton areasked to donate their gently usedor new luggage, duffels or back-packs, any shape, color or size.The bags can be dropped off atany Sibcy Cline location or at

University Moving and Storage,8735 Rite Track Way in WestChester Township, between thehours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Mon-day through Friday, through Feb.14. You can also follow the cam-paign on Facebook atwww.facebook.com/Cases4Love.

The Northwest Sibcy Cline of-fice is at 3650 Springdale Roadacross from Northgate Mall. Call513-385-3330 for information.

Whitney said the inspirationfor this massive luggage drivecame from an episode of ABC“World News Tonight” that fea-tured a story about the fosterchildren in Richmond, Virginia,who had to carry all of their be-longings in a black trash bag asthey moved from home to home.The report moved her to tears.

The story told about a restau-rant owner who organized a city-wide suitcase drive to help pro-vide each of the 288 children inRichmond’s foster care programwith luggage. More than 500bags were received.

“What really moved me wasthe fact that the children statedthat they themselves felt like‘garbage’ when they carriedtheir possessions in a trash bagas they moved into their fosterhomes,” Whitney said. “Havingthe suitcases made them feelthat they were finally ‘at home.’”

That was all it took for Whit-ney to take action. The busy own-er of her own communicationsbusiness, Phillippi-WhitneyCommunications, she began to

The Northwest Local SchoolDistrict is bringing its facilitiesplan to the community to showresidents what they want to doand how they plan to make ithappen.

The district has a current op-erating 4.52-mill levy set to ex-pire this year. Instead of askingfor a renewal, the district’sboard of education voted to re-place it with a May 5 request fora reduced 4.33-mill combinedbond/operating combinationlevy.

If passed, this levy will payfor an $85 million master facil-ity plan, and continue payingoperating costs for the district.The bond levy is for 3.15 mills,while the operating levy is set at1.18 mills.

David Nurre, assistant direc-tor of finance for the HamiltonCounty Auditor’s Office, saidthe owner of a $100,000 homehas been paying $135.63 underthe current 4.52-mill levy.

If the new bond/operatinglevy passes, the owner of a$100,000 home would pay$151.55 annually. Nurre says theamount paid will increase, even

though the millage drops, be-cause the state of Ohio eliminat-ed a 10 percent reduction inproperty tax on residential andagricultural property for leviesenacted after Aug. 31, 2013, andalso eliminated a 2.5 percent re-duction in the tax due on the val-ue of an owner-occupied homefor some taxpayers.

“We reduced the tax rate, butsome taxpayers could pay morebecause of the state’s actions in2013,” Superintendent AndrewJackson said.

Treasurer Amy Wells saidthe district has consistentlycommunicated this is a reduc-tion of the tax rate.

“A homeowner’s propertytax bill is dependent upon manyfactors including the currentvaluation, taxing entities andhomeowner credits previouslypaid for by the state,” she said.“Unfortunately, the state elimi-nated the homeowner creditsfor any new levies passed afterAugust 2013. As a result, not allhomeowners will see a reduc-tion in their tax bill. We encour-age everyone to attend our pub-lic presentations for more infor-mation.

She said presentation andproject details will be continu-

ously updated on the district’swebsite at www.nwlsd.org

Under the facilities plan,which was adopted in Decem-ber, Pleasant Run, Taylor, Stru-ble, Weigel, and Welch elemen-tary schools are to be replacedwith three new elementaryschools. These new schools willbe built on the Pleasant Run,Taylor and Struble elementaryschool sites at a cost of about$64 million. The remaining $21million will be spent on renova-tions for all other elementary,middle, and high school build-ings while lowering the tax rate.

According to the building as-sessment conducted by archi-tects Roth Lesko, most of thedistrict’s school buildings are inneed of major renovations. Thecost to renovate the five ele-

mentary schools is more than$55 million, while replacingthem with three new larger ele-mentary schools is around $64million. The committee andboard of education agreed thatit was more prudent to spendthe additional money on newbuildings rather than renovatethe older elementary buildings.Also, by reducing the overall el-ementary schools, the districtwill realize significant opera-tional savings in the future.

Each presentation will beone hour, and participants willhave an opportunity to ask ques-tions.

Jackson said all of the pres-entations are open to the publicand the presentation will also beposted on the district’s websiteat www.nwlsd.org for anyone

unable to attend.Unless noted, presentations

at each building will be offeredat 5:30 and 7 p.m. and will lastabout an hour. Here’s the sched-ule:

plan a luggage drive here.Through her network offriends, and leveragingthe power of Facebook,Whitney began identify-ing and making contacts.She first contacted Ham-ilton County Job and Fam-ily Services, which indi-cated that there is a needfor luggage. The agency

also reached out to WarmWelcomes, a foster careoutreach program in But-ler County.

With as many as 1,200children in the care on anygiven day, there is alwaysa need for assistance withthe many moves handledon an ongoing basis, notedMoira Weir, director ofHamilton County Job andFamily Services.

“We might be called toa house in the middle ofthe night, with only ashort time to gather up thechildren and move themto a safe place,” she wrotein an email. “These areheartbreaking situations,where children are re-moved from their homesand suddenly placed withsomeone they don’t know.If we can make that expe-rience a little less trau-matic by packing some ofthe things they hold dearinto a nice little suitcaseso they can carry a pieceof home with them, wewant to do that.”

Sibcy Cline also em-braced the project. PamSibcy, vice president ofmarketing for SibcyCline, noted that the com-pany is happy to partici-pate in Cases for Love andhope that the suitcaseshelp to bring comfort tochildren when they moveinto their new homes.

Once the campaignends, University Moving

and Storage has volun-teered to provide severaltrucks to pick up the suit-cases in each of the 22 Sib-cy Cline locations andtransport them to jobs andfamily services.

Sandy Morsch, admin-istrative assistant at theNorthwest Sibcy Cline of-fice, says it’se been funand satisfying to see howthe Colerain Townshipcommunity has respon-ded.

“I answer a lot of callsfrom people who ask if we

are the suitcase people,”she said. “It’s nice to partof something this posi-tive.”

And she says it’s alsobeen fun to hear storiesabout the bags beingdropped off.

“One man brought in apolka-dotted bag, and saidit had never been used,”she said. “He said his wifebought it to take to thegym. And it wouldn’t fit inthe locker, so he brought itto us.”

Pauletta Crowley, assistant

director of community andstudent services for the dis-trict, said if the levy is ap-proved, work would first be fo-cused on what’s known as“warm, safe and dry” projects,tackling heating issues, roofsand electrical issues, as wellas addressing technologyneeds.

“We won’t do actual plansfor new buildings until afterthe levy would pass,” she said.“Then we will develop proto-types and take them out to thepublic to get feedback beforewe move ahead.”

If the May levy passes, thearchitects will begin meetingwith a committee to design thesites and buildings.

The plan would be to begindeveloping the sites in the latewinter and early spring of2016, followed by building con-struction beginning in mid-spring of 2016. Constructionwould be complete by July of2017 and ready for occupancyfor the 2017-2018 school year.

GREEN TWP. — West Side resi-dent Jim Humbert, founder ofHumbert’s Meat Markets andHMI Distributors, recentlymarked 50 years in business.

Humbert, a Green Townshipresident, opened his first meatmarket at Glenmore Avenue andWerk Road in Westwood on Oct.26, 1964, with his wife, Barbara, athis side.

During the following 15 years,he grew the business to includefour additional meat marketsthroughout the metro area andone produce store.

All four of his children begantheir careers in the produce storeas cashiers and stockers, andthree of them went on to work forHumbert’s operations full-time.

In 1979, Humbert decided tobranch out beyond retail food

sales and opened HMI Distribu-tors, a distribution company forthe retail food and service indus-try. He also started his own pro-duction company, CincinnatiGourmet Meats, which produceda variety of items from honey-

glazed hams to deli roast beef andcorned beef.

Within a few years of opening,HMI Distributors placed in TheCincinnati Enquirer’s top 100Businesses in Cincinnati andmaintained its ranking for nine ofthe next 10 years. As the distribu-tion center grew, it became themajor distribution facility for thearea’s largest retail food opera-tions. Due to the growth of HMIDistributors, Humbert eventual-ly sold Humbert’s Meats to thestore’s managers, who retainedthe Humbert’s name. The man-agers’ sons now own and run thefour remaining stores.

Humbert ran his company as acommercial investment proper-ty from 2004 to 2014. He nowsplits his time between Cincin-nati and Naples, Florida.

GREEN TWP. — Thetownship’s police depart-ment has added two newofficers.

The board of trusteesvoted Jan. 26 to approvethe hiring of Brett Ham-brick and Kyle Riffe asGreen Township police of-ficers.

“We’re excited to havethem on board,” GreenTownship Police ChiefBart West said. “We feelthey are very well quali-fied and they’re whatwe’re looking for in policeofficers.”

Hambrick is a WestSide native who graduat-ed from Elder HighSchool. He earned hisbachelor’s degree in crim-inology from Mount St.Joseph University and re-ceived his certification asa police officer from But-ler Tech’s Law Enforce-ment Institute.

Prior to joining thetownship police depart-ment, West said Ham-brick served as a policeofficer for CincinnatiState.

Originally from Ma-son, Riffe is a Mason HighSchool graduate who

earned a bachelor’s de-gree in integrative stud-ies with a minor in crimi-nal justice from MiamiUniversity in Oxford.

West said Riffe earnedhis certification as a lawenforcement officer fromthe Great Oaks PoliceAcademy.

Both officers scoredwell on the written testthe department adminis-ters to prospective candi-dates, and West said theyalso completed in-personinterviews, psychologicaltests, background checksand a physical exam.

“It is quite a thoroughprocess,” he said.

The addition of Ham-brick and Riffe brings thedepartment’s total num-ber of sworn officers to35, he said.

Adding officers is astep toward fulfilling acommitment the town-ship made to residentslast fall when voters ap-proved a new safety ser-vices levy. Funds generat-ed by the levy allow thedepartment to add a sev-enth police beat in thetownship to be patrolled24 hours a day, seven daysa week.

West said hiring twonew officers is the first

phase of establishing theseventh beat. He said thedepartment expects tohire one or two more offi-cers early this summer.

Hambrick and Riffeare beginning a three-month field training pro-gram, in which they’ll re-ceive on-the-job trainingwhile riding along withother township officers.

The new officers willboth receive a salary of$26.71 per hour.

FEBRUARY 11, 2015 • NORTHWEST PRESS • A7NEWS

Every cloud has a silverlining. I was reminded of thatwhen I hung towels on the linein almost zero weather.

My husband, Frank, told methey’d freeze. My answer was,“It’s sunny outside so it will be

warm enough forthem to dry.”After a couple ofhours, I wentoutside to see ifthey were dry.Not only werethey not dry, theline had brokenand the laundrywas frozen sohard that gettingthe woodenclothespins out

was almost impossible.The silver lining? The

ground was also frozen stiff andnot muddy so the laundrystayed clean. I wound up hang-ing them on my Amish dryingrack near the wood stove.

With Lent right around thecorner, you should find somegood deals on seafood. Here’s anice recipe that really sparksup the flavor of salmon.

Oven roasted salmonwith herbs

If your salmon has a thinlayer of dark fat on it, leave itthere - it contains lots of Omega3s. Some folks like to scrape itoff for looks, but not me.

1 (2- to 2 1/2-pound) skin-less, boneless salmon fillet

Salt and freshly groundblack pepper

1/4 cup olive oil2 tablespoons freshly

squeezed lemon juice1/3 cup minced green on-

ions, white and green parts 1/3 cup minced fresh dill1/4 cup minced fresh basil 1/3 cup minced fresh pars-

ley1/2 cup dry white wineLemon wedges, for serving

Preheat the oven to 425 de-grees.

Place the salmon fillet indish and season it generouslywith salt and pepper. Whisktogether the olive oil and lemonjuice and drizzle the mixtureevenly over the salmon. Let itstand at room temperature for15 minutes.

Stir together the green on-ions and herbs. Scatter the herbmixture over the salmon filletand pat down with your hand.Pour the wine around bottom ofsalmon.

Roast the salmon for 10 to 12minutes, until almost cooked inthe center at the thickest part.The center will be firm with

just a line of uncooked salmonin the very center. Check byinserting a small knife into thecenter - it will look pearly pinkand very moist. Cover withaluminum foil and allow to restfor 10 minutes. Cut the salmoncrosswise into serving piecesand serve hot with lemon wedg-es. Serves 6.

Healing bath saltsRemember when you were a

kid and Mom had you soak sorefeet in Epsom salts?

Adding Epsom salt/magne-sium sulfate (not edible) to bathsalts helps you feel better be-cause your skin can absorb themagnesium, relaxing muscles

and nerves. Baking soda helpssoothe skin.

Especially nice with somedrops of essential oil, like laven-der, added to it.

Mix together:2 cups Epsom salts1 cup sea salt1 cup baking sodaEssential oil - about 20

drops - optPour a cup under hot run-

ning water in tub.

Readers want to knowSteaming rice for fluffy

texture:“Sometimes after my rice is

cooked, it sticks together and ishard to separate.”

Once the rice is cooked,remove pan from heat andplace a folded kitchen towel orsturdy paper towel over thepan, replace the lid and let situp to 10 minutes.

What happens here is theresidual heat continues tosteam the rice while the toweltakes up excess moisture. Ialways fluff my rice with a forkbefore removing from pan.

When planning for retire-ment, we need to not onlyconsider our income, but alsoexpenses over a retirementthat could last as long as 30years. Retirement for babyboomers and beyond includesa future where two of themost critical aspects of retire-ment planning – our healthand longevity – remain un-knowable.

The “health care side” ofretirement – costs, need andaccessibility to health care forourselves or loved ones – canbe one of the most significantfactors in the planning proc-ess.

Health care spending hasfar outpaced inflation over thepast decade. Health care costshave risen close to six percentannually, while core inflationhas risen about 2.5 percent,according to a U.S. Bureau ofLabor Statistics Inflation RateStudy, 2003-2012. Clearly,when something in our gro-cery basket of life rises threetimes the level as other pur-chases, it begs attention.

When planning for healthcare costs in retirement, firstconsider cash flow– monthlyincome versus expenditures.This will vary person to per-son, from family to family. So,let’s work backwards, lookingfirst at health care expenses.

A 2013 report by the Em-ployee Benefits Research

Institute sug-gests that a65-year-oldretired couplewill need tofund $255,000to $360,000 inMedicarepremiumsalone (includ-ing Medigap).Medicare, infact, covers

only about 62 percent of med-ical costs.

It’s important to rememberthat Medicare does not coverlong-term health care. Onlywhen you run out of dollarsdoes Medicaid step in to fillthat gap. This means thatcosts for in-home health careand nursing homes have to becovered by other sources –our own, our children’s re-sources, a long-term careinsurance policy, or a combi-nation of the above.

Here are some questions toconsider when planning for aretirement that covers long-term health care costs:

» Will you have all the sav-ings and assets on hand atretirement to cover all ormost of your projected healthcare costs?

» Are you and/or yourspouse in reasonably goodhealth now and does yourfamily have a track record ofliving into their 80s or 90s?

» Will you work during anystage of retirement and earnmoney?

» Do you know when youwant to start taking SocialSecurity, and why?

» What do you project willbe your annual income andexpenses during retirement,and have you factored in theneed to increase your annualincome beyond inflation toaddress potentially higherhealth care costs?

» If you need long-termcare, have you factored inwhat those needs and costsmight be?

» Do you have an under-standing of various types oflong-term care insurancepolicies, how they can befunded, what they provide,and for how long?

Consulting financial andtax advisors as part of retire-ment planning is essential toget the health care piece cov-ered. Enjoying truly goldenretirement years means dif-ferent things to different peo-ple, but it should include plan-ning for long-term health carenow so we obtain the end-of-life care we desire.

Kentucky announced a new planto help pay for a new Brent-Spence Bridge, which includes a50 percent toll discount for dailyusers of the bridge. Is this a goodidea? Why or why not?

“Charging tolls in order topay for the bridge is a good wayto go because there are proba-bly more people who use thebridge ‘just passing through’than live in the area. Giving adiscount to locals is a great wayto take some of the sting out ofit. Make the truckers pay themost since their behemothloads take life out of the bridgethe fastest. However, the onlyviable way to collect tolls is thehigh speed EZ-Pass way. Any-thing else will cause a huge in-crease in traffic congestion anddelays.”

M.J.F.

“The current plan is good, i.e.refurbish the current BrentSpence Bridge for I-71 trafficand build a new bridge for I-75.The federal government needsto handle its ‘required’ 80 per-cent share via the federal gasexcise tax. Ohio and Kentuckycan share the remaining 20 per-cent evenly. Tolls will help payfor the states share. Driversregistered in two NorthernKentucky Counties (Campbelland Kenton) and HamiltonCounty in Ohio should be ex-empt from the tolls or as wassuggested pay half the normaltoll. With gas prices around $2this might be a good time toraise the gas tax temporarily toassist on this effort. Also sell thenaming rights for the Bridge.But please no more studies,

committees or political grand-standing. Go Figure!”

Jan. 28 questionWhat do you think about Presi-

dent Obama’s proposal to pay fortwo years of community college,effectively expanding school toK-14 by taxing 529 college savingsplans?

“The president has nowwalked back his proposal to tax529 college savings plans; how-ever, he will still be wanting thefunding from somewhere else,meaning still more taxes. Ithink it is just another freebieoffering to promote his nannystate concept. Further, the grad-uation rate for community col-leges is not all that great, butpaid tuition would not necessar-ily improve that. What our kidsactually need is school choiceand improved instruction forK-12.”

end of year tests to elementarystudents. The base time as-signed to give the tests is over-shadowed by all the preparatorytime necessary for students totake them.

If, only pre tests and a coupleof school wide pep rallies con-ducted to raise students’ com-petitive spirits composed theprep time, then testing accesso-ries would comprise only aminimal time commitment.

To the contrary, everyonerealizes that in today’s world ofhigh stakes testing, prep timeconsumes the thoughts andinterests of teachers and stu-dents for the entire school year.In fact it owns the entire in-structional program. Unfortu-nately, the ultimate end game isnot the time relegated for ex-amination periods, it’s how the

Last summer the Ohio StateLegislature and Gov. John Kas-ich signed into law House Bill487, which required State Super-intendent Richard Ross to as-sess the amount of testing inpublic schools and make recom-mendations to reduce it.

In the meantime last Octobertwo members of the house in-troduced HB 629, which re-quired the state to reduce thenumber of hours scheduled forstate tests from 20 hours pergrade level to four.

Ross presented his assess-ment and recommendations tothe governor and legislature.One of the report’s primarysuggestions cuts the amount oftime for testing in the elemen-tary grades from 20 hours to 16hours per year.

Suffice it say both of these

bills were lad-en with thebest of inten-tions. The ma-jority of stu-dents subjectedto the hours oftesting areprobably cele-brating therecommenda-tions in their

schools’ halls. Although theirteachers might not join them incheers, more than likely theyare whispering a few sighs ofrelief since they will gain moreclass time for instruction.

When someone buys a carthere is always the base priceprice plus the costs of accesso-ries and ownership to consider.The same holds true with theadministration of state unit and

test results are interpreted andused.

Without question the one dayof the school year that is metwith the highest degree of anxi-ety and anticipation by all is theday test scores arrive in thedistrict’s superintendent’s of-fice. This is the day of reckon-ing that decides the immediatefuture for students, teachers,and administrators, as well asthe district’s and its localschools’ education reputation.

Just think about it. Testscores determine a school dis-trict’s grades for its well pub-licized grade card. Grades be-low As and Bs can become adisaster in terms of its academ-ic reputation. Third-grade stu-dents who fail to achieve profi-ciency in reading are subject toretention.

Scores also impact classplacements for other students.Just as insidiously, at least halfof a teacher’s annual evaluationis dependent on students meet-ing the annual year’s progressstandard.

Let’s at least give our lawmakers credit for showing somesensitivity to the excessiveamount of time schools aremandated to schedule achieve-ment tests. On the other hand,until elected public officialsenact laws that prohibit punitiveuses of end of year test results,the reduction of test time willcontinue its hollow ring of fruit-less good intentions.

hand weights instead of snacks,or use a stationary bike whilewatching your favorite shows.These minimal changes can getyou thinking in the right direc-tion.

For the adventurous, winteroffers time for ice skating,skiing, snowboarding, winterhikes or building a snowman inthe front yard.

ST. BERNARD — Winningconference championshipsnever gets old. Roger BaconHigh School can attest tothat. The Spartans capturedtheir seventh straight leaguetitle, second straight in theGreater Catholic LeagueCoed Central Division thisyear.

All that after Roger Baconwas unsure what kind ofproduct it would have on thecourt this season. The Spar-tans lost nearly all their fire-power from last season, ayear in which they went fin-ished 22-5 and managed theirsixth straight trip to the Di-vision III regionals, accord-ing to 10th-year coach BrianNeal. Now, the Spartans havetheir sights set on the post-season, a place they’re veryfamiliar.

“If you look at it, we’velost eight games and seven ofthem have been to Division Ischools,” Neal said. “Wehaven’t lost to bad teams. No-body (in Division III) hasplayed the schedule we ha-ve…if I’m those other (post-season) coaches I think theyknow how we play and whatour program is about. For sixstraight years we’ve made itto the regional — I can seewhy that would make some

coaches not want to play us.” Neal also wasn’t shy about

saying that this season has“been a little bit of a rollercoaster with some ups anddowns.” That’s largely due tothe Spartans’ inexperience.They only have one senior onthe roster — guard MontyWebley — who Neal said triesto “be that elderly voice” inthe locker room.

Fresh faces have had tofill vacant spots, and Nealadmitted that he and his staffanticipated more of a chal-lenge this year “because ofall the young guys playing.”Neal pointed out that typical-ly a team ends up with onetrue, leading scorer but atRoger Bacon that’s not en-tirely the case.

“We’ve had five differentguys lead us in scoring and

they’re all young kids. Fourof them are sophomores andone is a junior,” Neal said.“They’ve all stepped up donesome nice things; then youhave the opposite of that. Be-cause of the youth you end upwith some inconsistencieslate in games. We’ve had ahard time at the end of someclose games.”

Sophomore guard CraigMcGee leads the Spartans inpoints (12.5) and assists (3.9)per game. Sophomores Jus-tin Johnson (11.8) and JamesJohnson (10.4) have beennice additions, along with ju-nior William Greene who av-erages 10.1 points per game.

“Leadership is a hardthing. It’s a hard thing foradults to do and here we areasking 15-16 year olds to doit,” said Neal.

MOUNT HEALTHY — By thetime the Mount Healthy Owlsplay their next game, they canbe described in four words –deep, balanced, rested and mo-tivated.

Mount Healthy, unranked inthe Enquirer’s Division IIcoaches’ poll, erased any doubtsabout that last trait on Tuesdaywith a 66-60 road upset of No. 2Roger Bacon.

“In the city, we’re not rankedthat high,” said 6-foot-1 seniorguard Kylan Miller, who scorednine points in the upset. “I thinkour team takes that personally.”

Despite not playing untilnext Friday, the Owls are likelyto move up in next week’s pollafter improving to 14-5 overalland 9-1 in the Southwest OhioConference, one game behind15-2 and 10-0 Northwest.

Senior forward Crys Smithled the Owls with 16 pointsagainst Roger Bacon. The 6-5Smith, one of four MountHealthy players 6-5 or taller, isamong nine players who haveled Mount Healthy in scoringthis season, coach J.J. Clarksaid.

“Over half of those guyshave led more than once,” saidClark, whose team is one winaway from matching last sea-son’s total. “Other teams can’trely on stopping one guy. Our

big guys are starting to havemore of a presence, too. They’restarting to come into the room.Roger Bacon didn’t have any-body who could handle ourbigs.”

What concerns Clark is histeam’s tendency to play down tothe level of some opponents.Mount Healthy was losing, 14-11, at Ross last Saturday beforepulling away in the second halffor a 54-31 win.

“We get in lags and play in-consistently, on offense or de-fense,” he said. “We try to do toomuch. Rather than stay consis-tent and play as a team, thereare moments in games whereguys are saying, ‘I’ve got to dosomething. I’ve got to get a bas-ket or get a steal.’ ”

Clark hopes the return of 5-9

senior guard Kenny Eng-lish and 5-8 senior guardHjavier Pitts from inju-ries will make MountHealthy be even deeperand more balanced.

“Kenny English givesus a different gear,”Clark said. “He’s ourleading scorer, and hebrings so much energy.I’ve never had a kid in allmy years of coaching –and that’s about 20 yearsnow – who wants to winso much. That kid doesnot like to lose at all. Inever have to worryabout his effort. He’sonly 5-9, but he playsmuch bigger.”

Clark figures he’llhave at least 11 playersavailable for his rotationby the time the Owls re-turn to action in a SWOCgame next Friday at Ed-

gewood – one of fivestraight on the road toend the regular season.

The Owls’ odd sched-ule has them playing sixof their last seven on theroad, a run that startedwith back-to-back lossesto Division II No. 1 Aikenand No. 3 Shroder.

Mount Healthy alsowill play at fourth-ranked Wyoming (14-1)on Feb. 14 before wrap-ping up the regular sea-son on Feb. 21 – a Satur-day after yet anotheridle Friday – at 1 p.m. atNorthwest in a game thatcould decide the SWOCchampionship.

Miller believes theOwls are ready to run thegantlet.

“I think our confi-dence is up there now,”he said. “It’s really beenboosted, especially sincewe got English back.”

SHORT HOPS

COLLEGE HILL — For abowling team it’s as muchabout the team as it isabout bowling. While a lotof teams have great bow-lers, McAuley HighSchool has a great team ofgreat bowlers.

“This truly is a team,”sixth-year McAuleycoach Ken Homer said.“They’ve all chipped in atsome point this year ––someone’s always there topick somebody else up.”

For the first time since2008, McAuley won theGirls Greater CatholicLeague title, per Homer.The Mohawks went 13-2

against GGCL opponentsand won the GGCL meeton Jan. 26.

At the beginning of theseason, Homer told histeam they will get out of itwhat they put into it. So,the Mohawks put in work.

“They know what ittakes to get better andthey go out and do it,”Homer said.

Homer attributedmuch of the Mohawks’success to this point onwork ethic, saying histeam is devoted to “put-ting in the extra time.”

Time well spent fromthe look of it. McAuley hasfive bowlers that averagebetter than 180 –– some-thing Homer said he’s

never had before in hiscoaching career.

Junior Natalie DeMeoleads the Mohawks, andthe rest of the GGCL, withher 197.3 game average.Senior captain MirandaMushrush is a “total lead-er,” according to Homer.Mushrush has a 190.5 av-erage and she’s also madeHomer’s job easier.

“There are times I godown to pull the team to-gether and I get downthere and she’s (Mush-rush) already done it,”Homer said. “I haven’thad a better team cap-tain.”

Juniors Julie Lasonc-zyk and Madison Bakerboth average 187 a game.

Homer said senior Sa-mantha Girdler is havingthe best year of her careerwith a 181.8 average. Sen-ior Payton Groene is roll-ing a 173.5 per game.

“All these girls are upabout 15-20 pins on theiraverage from last year,”said Homer.

The Mohawks are wellaware the season isn’tover –– too many pins re-main upright. The post-season waits for a team totake it. To do that, McAu-ley knows it’s all about thebaker games.

“From the very begin-ning, we told them that ev-erything, championship-wise, comes down to thebaker set,” Homer said re-

ferring to when a teambowls toward one com-bined score with five bow-lers each rolling two

frames. “The tournamentis going to come down tobakers.”

MT. HEALTHY — Due tothe football team’s region-al semifinals appearance,senior heavyweight wres-tler KeÈryon Deal didn’tget back into the swing ofwrestling season until theend of December.

Since that time the up-perclassman has beennothing short of amazing,according to co-headcoach Joe Dixon. As ofFeb. 3, Deal was 23-0 with20 pins and was alsoranked among the Divi-sion I top 25 wrestlers at285 pounds by borofano-hio.net.

“He’s a kid who has tak-en a lot of lumps, but he’sworked his way into beinga quality heavyweight,”Dixon said. “He’s put him-self in the driver seat forthe goals he set early on.”

Those aspirations in-clude being a SouthwestOhio Conference leaguechampion, making itthrough sectionals anddistricts as well as a statetournament appearance.Deal lost in his final sec-tional match last year.

Deal credits his suc-cess to being more disci-plined in terms of makingweight and trying newthings.

“I’m focused on im-proving and I’ve been try-ing new moves that Iwould not have tried in thepast,” he said. “I’m alsotrying to be more aggres-sive, to apply more pres-sure and initiate moves onthe other guy.”

Wrestling is a sportwhere individuals canstrive as hard as theywant and reap the bene-fits of that hard work.Dixon said Deal is begin-ning to see it pay off forhim. Barring anything un-foreseen, he is the favor-ite to win the conferenceat 285.

He also has a chance tocrack 30 wins this season.If the postseason goeswell, he could break the90-win plateau for his ca-reer.

More important thanDeal’s success achieved

through hard work, is thetrickle-down effect itshad on some of the young-er wrestlers on the varsi-ty team and the junior-high level.

On a couple occasionsduring practice Feb. 3,Deal urged wrestlers tocontinue stretching outand preparing for thepractice ahead.

“They’ve built on themomentum that he’s car-ried,” Dixon said. “Evenour junior high team hasdone really well. It’sbased on the momentumof not only KeÈryon, but

all our seniors. Theyounger guys see howmuch time the seniorshave put in.”

Deal’s hard work andthe fact that he’s puttingin play what he’s learnedin practice serves as a for-mula for others to follow.

“He is exemplifyingwhat we mean by being astudent-athlete,” Dixonsaid. “He is doing great inthe classroom and hope-fully he will get a chance,when he leaves here, to gooff to college and be a stu-dent-athlete.”

If you’re in the marketfor a used car, and preferto buy from a privateowner, you need to watchout for a new scam hit-ting the area.

Although everythinglooks great when you seethe car offered for sale -and the owner signs theback of the title over toyou - you never get own-ership of the vehicle.

That’s what happenedto Adam Bradford, ofLoveland after he foundan SUV advertised onCraigslist. He girlfriend,Carla Hamill, said, “Webought a couple of cars,sold a couple of cars onCraigslist so we hadcalled on a number ofthem.”

The 2002 SUV theyliked was being sold by awoman in Dayton, Ohio.They went to Dayton,Bradford test drove it,and agreed to pay $5,000for the vehicle. The sell-er went with them to abank where the seller’ssignature was notarizedon the title and thenBradford paid her themoney.

Unfortunately, theBureau of Motor Vehi-cles was closed at thatpoint so the seller saidshe would keep her li-cense plates on the car soBradford could drive it.They planned to meet atthe BMV the next day toget the new title forBradford and take off theold plates and give themto the seller.

The seller failed tomeet them to pick up thenew title so Bradford

went to theBMV byhimself.Hamillsays, “Hewent in,handedthem thetitle, hadthe moneyout andevery-thing. She

said, ‘I’m sorry, there’s alien on the car.” And hesaid, ‘No.’”

In the Craigslist ad theseller specifically statesthe SUV has a clean title.There’s no mention of anauto title loan which hadbeen taken out just daysbefore the sale. Now thetitle loan company wantsthe car because thatwoman never paid off theloan. It wants to repos-sess the vehicle and sellit to get back the $2,000 itloaned that woman. Po-lice told Bradford he alsohas some rights becausehe got a signed title.

Hamill says, “He hasan actual title, but theonly thing that’s good fornow is a bill of sale. Oncethey get a duplicate, thattitle is considered in-active.”

Now Bradford sayshe’s unable to find thewoman who sold him theSUV. A spokeswoman forthe Ohio Bureau of MotorVehicles says they’reseeing a lot of this newscam since the auto titleloan industry has sprungup offering cash loansfor cars. Now Bradfordis joining with the othersin filing a complaint with

the BMV.So, if you want to buy

a vehicle from a privateseller make sure you gowith them to a bureau ofmotor vehicles title of-fice and make sure thetitle can get transferredinto your name beforeyou pay any money to theseller. If the BMV isclosed, don’t do the dealuntil you can be sure youcan get the title trans-ferred into your name.
