At 71 years young, Lois Gris-wold of Wyoming is starting toget her “ducks in a row.”

Griswold isn’t facing immi-nent challenges to her healthand vitality, but she and her hus-band, Gary, 67, recently visitedArlington Memorial Gardens inSpringfield Township to identi-fy a ground burial alternative.

“It’s about making thingseasier for our children so theydon’t have a lot of problemswhen we die,” said Griswold,who describes herself as a born-again Christian. “We don’t haveany trouble talking about dyingbecause we know where we’regoing.”

Local cemetery operatorsand national industry analystssay the Griswolds are part of alarger shift in consumer prefer-ences away from ground buri-als. As a result, cemetery opera-tors are trying — and in somecases struggling — to figure outhow best to serve clients on theland they occupy.

Adoption of ground burial al-ternatives is happening slowerin Ohio and Kentucky than inother parts of the country. Butthe pace of adoption is helpingleaders from some area ceme-teries rethink what could beadded to typically pastoral land-scapes.

Northwest school districtvoters will not see a request torenew a 4.5-mill emergencylevy on the May ballot.

Instead, the district’s boardof education will ask voters toapprove a combination bondand operating levy that will low-er their taxes and improve orreplace all of the district’sbuildings and would keep bothhigh schools.

Before the vote to start theprocess to bring the issue to vot-ers in May, board members andthe public heard results from a

survey conducted by marketingconsultant John Fox.

Fox said 500 people complet-ed telephone and online inter-views. There were 333 tele-phone interviews completedfrom Dec. 1 to Dec. 16, among arandom sample of householdsfrom lists of registered votersand there were 167 online inter-views, selected at random frommore than 800 surveys complet-ed during the survey from a linksent to the community via e-mails and the district’s web site.

The total sample’s error

range is plus or minus 4.4 per-cent at the 95 percent confi-dence level, which Fox said isthe standard level of the re-search industry.

The research study confirmsthe district community’s sup-port for a facilities plan that in-cludes keeping both highschools, but not for the optionfor one high school with the oth-er building becoming a fresh-man school.

When asked on the survey re-garding intention to vote on apossible bond issue for the two

different plans, 64 percent indi-cated they were in favor of atwo high schools plan com-pared; 38 percent said theywere in favor of the one highschool plan. The survey also in-dicated residents recognized aneed for improvements; ac-knowledged the cost savings as-sociated with updating and con-solidating schools and manyparents prefer all elementaryschools be K-5.

and other personal effectswith remains. In late 2015,Arlington plans to open afuneral home on morethan eight acres of landthat’s now undeveloped.

These developmentsare part of the 10-year ex-pansion plan for the 165-acre Arlington that beganin 2010. The plan doesn’tinvolve the 80-year-oldcemetery’s land footprintincreasing, but using 12additional acres of land italready owns. Today,about 30 acres of ceme-tery land between Comp-ton Road and the RonaldReagan Cross CountyHighway remains unde-veloped.

Applegate said the oldrule was that 1,000 groundburials could fill one acreof land. With 1,000 burialsa year, that would leaveArlington with 30 years ofspace on undevelopedproperty. With that rateslowing, it could be sever-al more decades or even200 years before thereisn’t enough space at Ar-lington, he said.

Fewer burials couldmean a new lease on lifefor cemeteries with littlespace left, Fells said. Butthat remains a key — andsometimes the sole source— of revenue for these op-erations. Which means de-velopment decisions arecalculated risks based onthe operating model, fu-ture burial demand and

mation and Funeral Asso-ciation.

Baby boomers tend towant a “more personal-ized form of funeral,” andthat in part is driving thetrend, said Dan Apple-gate, who runs ArlingtonMemorial Gardens.

Arlington’s first mau-soleum was built in 1986,and the cemetery now hasseven. The $1.5 million re-make of the Lakeside Cha-pel Mausoleum, whichadded 420 crypts, 176 col-umbarium niches and up-dated building features, isthe latest piece of respon-ding to changes in de-mand. Some niches beingadded at the cemeteryhave “shadow boxes,”which allow families andfriends to add pictures

steadily rising in the Unit-ed States and now arecompleted followingabout 42 percent ofdeaths, said Bob Fells, ex-ecutive director and gen-eral counsel for the Inter-national Cemetery, Cre-

land-management costs. Fells said among the

more creative uses forcemeteries is leasing landfor cellular phone towers,providing operators withan extra source of income.However, alternative usesfor cemetery land typical-ly require zoning changes.

“There are options outthere that can be pursuedas long as it seems to befor the benefit of the cem-etery, the families and thecommunities at large,”Fells said.

Although Griswold isstill evaluating options forher final resting place,ground burial isn’t part ofthem. She even turneddown a free cemetery plotin Schenectady, NewYork, where members ofher extended family re-side. She says Arlington’smausoleums are attrac-tive because, although thelocation of her bodydoesn’t matter to her, itwill be important for herfamily and friends.

“People who didn’tknow me would walk allover my final earthly rest-ing place, and mowing ma-chines and burial truckswill be driving over it,”Griswold said. “In a mau-soleum, my body will betucked away in a placewhere snow, rain, feet andmachines will not be go-ing.”

closed. All students in the Weigeland Struble attendance areas wouldattend a new K-5 school on the Stru-ble campus, and Weigel and Strublewould be closed.

The K-5 Colerain and MonfortHeights elementary buildings andthe district’s three middle schoolsand both of the district’s highschools would be renovated.

The $85 million bond would befor 35 years. It is coupled with a 1.18-mill operating levy. The net effectlowers the tax rate by about .5 mills.

Fox said informing voters thatthe combination bond and operatingissue is actually less than a renewalof the current levy will be an impor-tant key. “Some voters will find thistoo good to be true,” he said.

Board president Dan Unger saidthe board was intentional aboutmaking sure the millage was less.

“We felt if we could knock itdown a little, that would be helpful,”he said. “If it passes, tax bills willdrop a little bit.”

At the Dec. 15 board meeting, theboard decided its not-to-exceedamount for the bond issue, andpassed a resolution to exceed the 4percent debt limitation and signcertificates to be submitted to the

Ohio Department of Education andthe Ohio Department of Taxation.

At the Jan. 5 board meeting,board members heard survey re-sults, decided the bond amount, andhired Peck, Shaffer and Williams, adivision of Dinsmore and Shohl asbond counsel. The board also desig-nated RBC Capital Markets, LLC asbond underwriter.

At the board’s Jan. 20 meeting,board members will need to pass aresolution to proceed. The districtmust submit all required informa-tion to the Hamilton County Boardof Elections by Wednesday, Feb. 4,to be on the ballot May 5.

due to the suicide of a per-sonal friend, stepped up to aleadership role at McAuley inregards to suicide prevention.She met over the summerwith McAuley Principal DanMinelli to share her ideas ofhow McAuley could fosterawareness and prevention ofteen suicide during NationalSuicide Prevention Week,Sept. 8-14.

Bergmann, a MonfortHeights resident, asked thatinspirational posters andquotes being displayedthroughout the campus, andteachers were invited to postpositive messages. Two chalkpaint walls were installed bythe maintenance departmentwhere students could sharetheir feelings about both theirgreatest fears and their great-est dreams. These walls willbe used for other purposes

throughout the school year.On Wednesday of Suicide

Prevention Week, in familyhomerooms, students wrotepositive messages recognizingtheir own self-worth whichwere placed around the pe-rimeter of the chalk wall.Students were also invited tostep out of uniform for a dayto wear the colors of NationalSuicide Prevention Week,turquoise and purple.

“I don’t know exactly whatI want to do with my life, but Iknow I want to help people,”Bergmann said.

This fall,Women in Engineering stu-dents went to Greater Cincin-nati Water Works and metwith Maureen Enderle Rich-ard. Richard is an alumna ofMcAuley from the class of1990 and set up the tour of the

Kellogg Avenue treatmentplant.

The students learned aboutwhat happens to water fromthe Ohio River to our faucets,the history of the water worksutility, and how filtering tech-nology has improved overtime, resulting in better drink-ing water. Junior Abby Sandershares, “It was really interest-ing to learn how the engineersover the years came up withideas to solve the problems toensure that the people in Cin-cinnati were getting the bestwater that they could pro-vide.”

JANUARY 14, 2015 • NORTHWEST PRESS • A5NEWS

With wind chill tem-peratures dipping belowfreezing, I’m having tofill up the bird feederstwice a day and check onthe girls/chickens everyfew hours to bring them

fresh wa-ter. I want-ed to tellyou, too, tocheck onneighborswho areelderly orshut in.Bringthem abowl of hotchicken

broth to which youcooked in cheese tortelli-ni and a handful of freshspinach. A sprinkling ofParmesan is good in thesoup, too. Nourishing andwarms one all over!

Remember I told youanything fermented isgoing to be popular thisyear due to the healthbenefits? Kimchi is oneof those and a popularKorean dish. I got thisrecipe from a fellowcookbook author at afood demo during MotherEarth News Fair lastyear. Tasty, and a goodplace to start when mak-ing homemade Kimchi. Iplan on making this onFox 19’s morning showfor Rob Williams, whoabsolutely loves Kimchi.

Mild Kimchi1 head Chinese or

Napa cabbage, about 3pounds, cut into 2” pieces

1 Daikon radish, about4”, peeled and thinlysliced

1 carrot, thinly sliced1/2 cup pickling salt

4 garlic cloves,minced

2 tablespoons Koreanchili paste or 2 teaspoonsChinese chili paste/saucewith garlic

1 teaspoon peeledminced fresh ginger root==

1 teaspoon sugar or totaste (I think you couldsubstitute honey)

Combine cabbage,radish, carrot and salt inbowl. Mix to combine andadd ice water to cover.Let stand for 2 to 6 hours.

Drain, reservingbrine. Add garlic, chiipaste, ginger and sugarand mix well, usinghands.

Pack into 2 quart can-ning jar. Add enoughreserved brine to cover

and fill to top of jar. Cov-er to exclude air.

Set jar on saucer tocatch overflow that hap-pens when fermentationbegins. Store in dark,cool place.

Begin tasting after 1day, and refrigerate up to5 days. It will continue toage and develop flavor.Keeps several months.

Tip from Rita’s kitch-en: Go to taste on flavor-ings. I like it spicy sowould use more chilipaste.

My favoriteguacamole

This has a smoky fla-vor due to the chipotlepeppers. Nice for SuperBowl coming up.

3 large ripe Hass avo-

cados - peeled, pitted andscooped out

2 limes, juiced1 teaspoon salt1/2 cup diced red onion Chopped cilantro to

taste3/4 teaspoon cumin or

to taste1 minced clove garlic

or more to tasteChipotle peppers in

adobo to taste (puree infood processor and thenstore in frig or freezer;this is much easier tomeasure out than thewhole peppers in sauce)

2 Roma tomatoes,diced

Mash the avocadosvery gently with potatomasher. Some people laythe avocado down flatand cut it into very small

pieces. Regardless, youdon’t want to overmashor it will become soupy.

Stir in lime juice totaste, and salt. Stir inonion, cilantro, cumin,garlic, peppers. Stir intomatoes. Serve withchips.

Tips from Rita’skitchen:

Ripening avocados.Although avocados aremature when pickedfrom the tree, they arenot ripe. Place in paperbag. This traps the ethyl-ene gas they produce andhelps to ripen. It willripen at room temper-ature in 3-5 days. Skincolor will darken andflesh underneath will bea bit soft.

Hass. These comefrom California with abuttery texture. The skinis tough and durable —ideal for shipping, andfor use as a scooping cupwhen removing flesh.

Hall. From Floridaand are bright green,smooth skinned avoca-dos.

Good for you: Loadedwith potassium, folicacid, vitamins C and E,also fiber and hearthealthy monounsaturatedfat.

Senior center declinehurts Colerain Twp.

Recently while trying to findout about joining the ColerainSenior Center I was somewhatconfused. The site is a little dif-ficult to use and is certainly in-complete. Why is it that the Col-erain Senior Center websitehasn’t been updated with anynewsletters since June and thatthere are no new activitiesavailable to the residents of Col-erain Township announced?

I was under the impressionthat the Senior Center was aplace Colerain Township SeniorResidents could go to for class-es, functions, health and fitness,lunch, friendship, transporta-tion, etc. If so the website cer-tainly doesn’t tell you that oranything else. Winter should bethe busiest time of the year for afacility like the one on Spring-dale Road.

This type of failure doesn’tencourage a person to join theSenior Center just to walk on asidewalk around the building.With the financial state of thiscountry a person could be wouldpressed to spend money to joinsomething that they could nev-er use.

Isn’t there any way a regularcitizen can help to revive ourbeautiful facilities? For all themoney we as residents spent tobuild the facility it is a travestythat it isn’t getting used to itsfull potential. I have never seenany sort of advertising or pub-licity for it in the 30 years I havelived in Colerain Township.Why is that?

This facility should be one of

the highlights of the townshipand should be pushed as part ofthe benefit of living in ColerainTownship from the way I see it.Malls, restaurants and stuff aregood for the economy but if youhave no place for the citizensthat helped to build the commu-nity to relax and enjoy them-selves it doesn’t draw peoplehere to live.

It’s not all about partying andeating out. Fairfield, West Ches-ter and Mason seem to be get-ting a share of all those new citi-zens that we aren’t. Maybe thisfailure is one of those reasons.I’m sure many citizens, includ-ing myself, would be willing tohelp if some just asked.

Check out the website for theOlder Person Commission inRochester Hills, Michigan andit may help to give you someideas of what we should or couldbe doing - opcseniorcenter.org.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

In a column last week,Colerain Township TrusteeJeff Ritter reviewed thetownship’s achievements andfailures for 2014.

Of course the defeat ofIssue 30 in November wasdescribed as the township’ssignal heartbreak of the year,and Ritter discussed the im-plications of that defeat.

On Christmas Eve, Col-erain Township Trustee Den-nis Deters characteristicallygot more graphic and told theNorthwest Press that theeffort against Issue 30 was a“despicable sham.”

“People will lose their jobsbecause of this and it’s reallysad,” he added.

The levy was thoroughlydefeated and the Ohio Legis-lature has now wisely out-lawed these types of arrange-ments in the future, so onewonders why our local lead-ers continue to beat this deadhorse.

I’m afraid it’s because ourtownship’s financial woes

continue topersist andour localtrustees needsomeone toblame be-sides the realculprit,Ohio’s Repub-lican Gover-nor JohnKasich.

WhenKasich first ran for governorin 2010, Ohio faced an $8 bil-lion budget deficit. Kasichpledged that he would bal-ance the state budget withoutraising taxes.

In 2014 Kasich cruised toan easy re-election victoryafter keeping that pledge. Ialways thought that the onlyway for a state to rid itself ofa budget deficit without rais-ing taxes would be to cutspending. Kasich showed usthere is an alternate way.

He sharply cut aid to localgovernments and to schoolsand then let them raise taxes

on their own. For instance, Kasich cut

the state’s Local GovernmentFund in half. What this meantfor Colerain Township wasthat a fund that once gave us$3 million a year gave us only$1.5 million a year starting in2011. Today the accumulatedshortfall from this fund is$4.5 million.

Our local response was totry to raise taxes throughIssue 30.

Had Issue 30 passed, itwould have lent a lie to theidea that Governor Kasichbalanced the state budgetwithout raising taxes.

Both our Republican andour Democratic leaders havelost the courage to truly cutwaste or to say no to the spe-cial interests in government.Instead their response is toeither go further into debt or,in the case of our governor,raise taxes on the sly.James Delp is a house painter who

lives in Colerain Township.

Kasich is to blame fortownship financial woes

James DelpCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

For the year ending Dec.31, 2014, Green Township hadapproximately total revenueof $42,849,00 and expenses of$38,539,000.

Of the total revenue, morethan $25,000,000 is in the TIF(tax increment financing)Fund, of which the townshipretains approximately 38percent, and the remaining 62percent goes to the variousschool districts in GreenTownship. Expenditures un-der the TIF Fund are limitedby law and cannot be used forsalaries.

The General Fund forGreen Township had revenueof $4,140,000 and expenses of$5,200,000. The deficit for theyear in the General Fund waspredicted by township man-agement and elected officials.The General Fund deficit waslargely due to various fund-ing cuts over the last severalyears by the state.

Contributing factors for

the decline inrevenue inGeneral Fundrevenuesincludes:eliminationof the OhioEstate Tax,major reduc-tion in theLocal Gov-ernmentFund reve-

nue, elimination of the PublicUtility Tax and Tangible Per-sonal Property revenue, re-duction in real property valu-ation and record low interestrates on township invest-ments. In 2009, the townshiphad General Fund revenueincome of $7,750,000 com-pared to only $4,140,000 in2014.

On a positive note, passageof the public safety levy bythe voters of Green Townshipin November will produceapproximately $3 million in

additional revenue for thetownship. The new levy in-come will basically offset thecut in revenue referencedabove.

Also, the township now hasfour Joint Economic Devel-opment Districts (JEDDs).These JEDD’s include GoodSamaritan Western RidgeHospital, Christ and Chil-dren’s Hospital on HarrisonAvenue, Mercy Hospital andthe new Harrison Greenedevelopment at Harrison andWestwood-Northern Bou-levard. In 2014, the JEDDsproduced more than $1 mil-lion in revenue for the town-ship. We anticipate this reve-nue to increase in futureyears.

The elected officials andtownship officials strive toconservatively operate GreenTownship.

Green Township’s finances for 2014

Thomas StrausCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNISTJan. 7 question

What should be the top priori-ties for the Republican-controlledCongress (House and Senate)?

“With the apparent dissen-sion among the Middle EastOPEC nations and their pricefixing I look forward to cheapgas in 2015. Simultaneously theUS has vast shale oil reserves.The new Congress will pass thego ahead for the Keystone Pipe-line to move this US and Canadi-an oil to refineries safer thantrains. Cheaper gas will spurthe economy. Now what politi-cians will take credit forOPEC’s possible demise? GoFigure!”

Tino Delgato“Changing the public per-

ception and information aboutwhy legislation is not actedupon. The American people aretired of the Constitution beingignored. After eliminating thehideous tax of Obamacare, leg-islation to ensure new employ-ment should be the top priority.This would mean, among manyother things, a viable means forcompanies to provide healthcare benefits, possibly the Key-stone Pipeline, and certainly anagreement to publish and readall legislation before voting. Re-quiring legislation to describeits basis in the Constitutionwould be a great start.”

D.B.

“To abolish Obamacare, putin Keystone Pipeline, to havecontrol of our borders, and al-low our country the right tohave the 10 Commandmentsback in our schools and court-rooms.”

Mary Ann Maloney

“Do something! We pay thesepeople far too much to do noth-ing. If we wanted nothing donefor a lot of public money, wewould just hire Mike Brown.”

M.J.F.

I am hoping that the newCongress can finally do some-thing (anything) this year.These last several Congresseshave been so divided that noth-ing moved forward. I hope theymove on the deficit spendingand the national debt which areout of control. Secondly theycould approve the KeystonePipeline to get the U.S. and Ca-nadian shale oil to refineriesmore safely. Now with thecheaper gas (temporarily) in-crease the federal excise taxpaid at the pump to help fix thehighways and bridges acrossthe United States. My guess iswe will have two more years ofnothing much being accom-plished.

“The Congress is much likethe UN; there is a lot of talk butvery few results. Never have somany done so little for so long.Go figure!”

COLERAIN TWP — North-west’s boys bowling team en-tered the season with NateBender as the only returningvarsity roller from last season.

However, the Knights start-ed in a manner usually befittinga team stocked with varsity vet-erans. They were undefeateduntil a match with Oak Hills, theNo.1 team in the area. They fin-ished third in a 45-team holidaytournament and fifth in a tour-nament at Fairfield.

“I knew they had potential,”Bender said of the junior varsi-ty players who have sincebumped up to the varsity ranks.“They worked hard in the off-season.”

As for himself, Bender saidhe wants to return to where hewas prior to the match with OakHills and believed that a strongweekend would help him do so.

“I want to be top five in thecity before the end of the sea-son,” he said. “I’d been up thereall season before falling a littlebit after the Oak Hills match. Iwant to come back strong.”

Bender’s current averagesits at 206.8 and needs betterthan 214.6 to crack the top fivein Cincinnati. Carter Gehring,the Knights’ No. 2 bowler, isnearing the 200-pin plateau. Hecredits advice given to him byhis grandpa and coach DanManifold.

“They’ve told me to stay slow(in my movement) becausebowling can be a really frustrat-

ing game mentally, and if I stayslow, it will all work out,” Gehr-ing said. “My grandpa hashelped me out a lot in bringingme up from where I was myfreshmen year.”

The Oak Hills match was theperfect storm, according toManifold. The Highlanders shot300 pins better than their aver-age and Northwest rolled 200less than its average. It was the

kind of contest that serves as areality check.

“If we can’t make spares,then we will not be an elite teamnor make it to the state champi-onship and that’s what I amstriving for right now,” Mani-fold said. “I think we can get tothe state tournament. It just de-pends on how we string strikestogether.”

Northwest junior Carter Gehring begins his approach during practice atNorthwest Lanes.

Longtime Princeton HighSchool wrestling coach TyRobbins has to get WalnutHills High School wrestlingcoach Emmerson Mincy onthe phone from time to time totry out a new joke or two.

Robbins does some stan-dup comedy on the side andseeks the advice of his buddyfrom the Mount HealthyClass of 1985 and his formerco-captain on the Owls wres-tling team.

“All the time,” Mincy said,laughing. “I guess he’s an am-ateur comedian, so he’s al-ways doing that.

“When he tells me a joke, Istart to think about what kindof an audience this joke wouldbe good for. You can have afunny joke, but how are yougoing to deliver that and whatkind of audience is going tothink that’s funny?”

Jokes aside, the pair talks alot of wrestling, too, and guidetheir programs based on theirexperiences on the mats atMount Healthy.

“We were friends and stillare,” Robbins said. “We calleach other every other dayjust to discuss wrestling andif he has a question that hassomething to do with wres-tling, he’ll contact me or I’lljust contact him to see howhe’s doing and how his twoboys are doing.”

Robbins has spent 26 yearsas a wrestling coach, includ-ing the last 14 at Princeton.Mincy began coaching by or-ganizing a youth club inMount Healthy when his twosons were ready to start wres-tling. Later, he started a clubteam at Walnut Hills andeventually helped to resur-rect the Walnut program asthe high school head coach – a

job he has held for threeyears.

“When you stop and look ateverybody who went throughMount Healthy under (coachDave) Merkle, a lot of themcoach now,” Robbins said.“You’ve got me and Emmer-son, who are head coaches.You’ve got Jeff Byrd, who isan assistant at La Salle.You’ve got Jacque Boggs, whois an assistant at La Salle. Aar-on Gibson coaches with me atPrinceton. There are a lot ofMount Healthy grads who arecoaching wrestling.”

Other Mt. Healthy wres-tlers from that era who havegone on to coach wrestlingand other sports include SeanGeers, Micahel Byrd, VictorDelong, Eric Walker and GeneWilliams.

Robbins said that was atestament to the coachingthey received under headcoaches Merkle and KevinKeller in the early- tomid-1980s. Mincy rememberslessons that began even be-fore competing himself whenhe watched his brother wres-tle at Mount Healthy.

“At that time, Dave Merklewas the coach,” Mincy said. “Iwould watch him not only gothrough rigorous practices,but also give the guys some-thing to think about. He wouldalways tell them about hisown life and tell them abouthow your decisions now aregoing to effect what you do inthe future. So I learned a lotby watching them do that.”

Those lessons are still be-ing passed on.

“Come to practice everyday, work hard and have amental toughness that willcarry you, not only throughwrestling, but will also carry

Robbins knew he want-ed to get into coachingright away and has spenttime at Mount Healthyand Taylor as a coach be-fore ending up at Prince-ton. He has only had twoyears since graduation inwhich he has not beencoaching.

Mincy’s route to be-coming a head coach fol-lowed the wrestling ca-reers of his sons Randalland Quinton from theMount Healthy youth clubhe started to Walnut Hills.Randall Mincy graduatedfrom Walnut and is nowplaying football at WestVirginia State. QuintonMincy is a sophomorewrestler at Walnut.

“He really cares aboutthe team,” Quinton Mincysaid. “He always takestime to show the guys themoves and if someonedoesn’t get it, he alwayshelps them out. He’s like arole model.”

Emmerson Mincy hasdedicated time, moneyand effort to keeping theresurgent Walnut Hillsprogram going for hiswrestlers.

“Just two weeks ago hehad the Walnut Hills Invi-tational and spent thenight before until 1 or 2 inthe morning getting wres-tling mats so the matswould be there for thetournament,” Robbinssaid. “And then he spentMonday after the tourna-ment returning the matsfrom the different schoolsthat he had to borrow themats from. There are nota lot of coaches who wouldput that time and effort in.That’s how dedicated heis.”

Those efforts help getCoach Mincy where bothhe and Robbins like to be— helping their wrestlerssucceed on and off themat.

“Just put them in aplace where they’re confi-dent,” Emmerson Mincysaid. “They’ve workedand they have the skill.You want to get to a placewhere everybody is confi-dent that what they havelearned in practice is goodenough for them to be suc-cessful on the mat.”

SPRINGFIELD TWP. — St.Xavier High School hasbeen pleasantly surprisedearly on this basketballseason.

Coming into the year,the Bombers weren’t surewhat they would have.They lost a lot of from the

year before. What theyfound, this year, is a teamthat can play pretty welltogether. They’re stillgathering informationand learning about one an-other. But, at 6-2, theyseem to be gelling nicely.

“We didn’t know whatto expect from anybodybecause we lost so manyguys from last year,” said

St. Xavier coach ScottMartin.

The Bombers had justone returning starterback this season, 6-foot-1senior guard Jack Wester-field.

The difference, so far,with a fresh group hasbeen energy and unself-ishness.

“The guys have really

come along, they’re shar-ing the basketball andplaying unselfish” Martinsaid. “They play reallyhard. They put a lot of en-ergy out there and try toget everything they can.”

For the most part,they’ve done it with de-fense, lacking a true scor-er offensively. Wester-field leads St. X with 8.5points per game.

“That (scoring) is a ma-jor challenge for us,” Mar-tin said. “We’re more of ateam trying to go to theguy that’s hot in thatgame.”

Without a real threat,St. X has spread the pointsamong James Heskett(8.3 ppg), Sam Martin (7.5ppg), Josh Theis (6.8 ppg)and Joe Schroeder (5.6ppg), whom coach Martinsaid has been a real nicesurprise.

The process of learn-ing about each other andthe team has been a posi-tive for the Bombers.

“We’re kind of learning

which combinations arebest for us and what posi-tions guys can play,” saidMartin. “We’ve been do-ing that and graduallyfinding out what we dowell and what we need towork.”

Throughout the proc-ess, St. X has won threeclose games. Martin likes

that. The coach said thatbeing able to win closegames is something thatcan’t be coached. It’s asign that a team is mental-ly tough and has confi-dence.

Martin knows thoseclose games mostly re-semble the type of gamesthat remain on the sched-ule.

The Bombers areabout to being the treach-erous part of their sched-ule, Greater CatholicLeague South action. Cur-rently, the GCL South is acombined 28-8 and St. Xopened league play host-ing La Salle on Jan. 9.

“We know we’re get-ting into that part of theschedule where we’replaying top-10 teams inthe city and maybe thestate,” Martin said. “It’sgood to see where westand. I think we’re upthere but we’re not consis-tent enough in the scor-ing.”

While many of their class-mates were at home over winterbreak, Cincinnati United Pre-mier’s U18 Gold boys team wasin Orlando, earning another ma-jor showcase championship anda spot in the 2015 national cham-pionship.

During group play at the Dis-ney Sports Showcase on Dec. 28,the squad earned a return trip tothe U.S. Youth Soccer NationalChampionships, to be held inOklahoma this summer. Thismarks the second-straight yearthe team earned its berth to na-tionals at the Disney tourna-ment. They have secured theirspot in Tulsa, where NationalLeague championship play willbegin on July 21.

“It is always satisfying toachieve your major goal soearly,” said head coach TerryNicholl, also the head coach atSeven Hills. “It takes the pres-sure off State Cup and Region-als even though those twoevents are also in our targetsand goals.”

With national qualifyingpressure off entering the Dis-ney title match, CUP cruised toa 7-0 win. This U18 team, whichNicholl has coached since theyplayed at the U15 level, has nowqualified for the national cham-pionship in three of the pastfour seasons. Last year, they fellin overtime of the NationalLeague championship semifi-nals to FC Dallas.

“The success of this teamcan really only be attributed tothe boys themselves, their fam-ilies, and of course head coachTerry Nicholl,” CUP senior boysDirector of Coaching ScottBower said. “We are proud oftheir accomplishments on thefield but also how they handlethemselves away from the na-tional competitions that get the

most exposure. The truestrengths of Terry’s program iswhat the boys get through thevehicle of soccer as a sport.”

The communication betweendefenders Max Pochobradsky(Seven Hills) and Brady Daul-ton (Mason), playing togetherfor the first time, elevated thesquad. Forwards Luke Tread-way (Scott) and David Jeffries(Waynesville) led the offensiveattack.

“(Our defenders) coveredeach other perfectly. The an-chor midfield was superb,” saidNicholl. “The wingers were ef-

fective and dynamic. (Our for-wards) were at their best. Wehad solid goalkeeping. Our in-terplay, passing and scoringwas of a high order.”

This marks the fourth year ina row that a CUP team has qual-ified for nationals, and the fifthyear in a row that a CUP teamhas won a championship at theDisney showcase. CUP’s girlsU16 Gold team nearly joined theU18 boys as Disney champs, butfell 2-1 in overtime to nationalchampion JFC (Fla.) in the Dis-ney final. The next CUP teamwith an opportunity to qualify

for nationals is the U14 girlssquad, which could qualify inMarch with its play in the finalevent of the National Leagueseason in Las Vegas.

Thanks to their high level ofplay in the early stages of theNational League season, the U18Gold boys team can enjoy theirtime to recover before gearingup for their next big tourna-ment. To date, nine members ofthe squad have committed toplay college soccer in 2015.

“Momentum is not a key fac-tor at this time as the playershave earned a much needed five

week break. Most of the playerswent straight from high schoolinto National League play, sothey have earned a rest,” saidNicholl. “The fact that we havenow qualified for Nationals inlate July means that we will begetting our players ready forcollege preseason as well. Wewill be playing top-notch nation-al teams just before they reportinto their collegiate programs.”

Next on the schedule is Mid-west Regional League play be-ginning in February, with a tripto Richmond, Va. for the Jeffer-son Cup in early March.
