and 2013. Each visit wasdifferent: one was on acruise and we had threedays in Cuba, the otherswere eight days each as

usually permitted by thegovernment there for ex-change programs. Onewas with my granddaugh-ter who is fluent in Span-ish and was able to talkwith all the locals there.Also I receive emailsweekly from a familythere which keep me up todate on what's happeningnow.

“I have gone each timeto learn more about the is-land and their politicaland economic systemsand to find out how we canhelp the people there.

“My pictures will showthe beauty of the islandand some of the music anddancing, and will showwhat life is like under thisparticular Communistsystem. The systemworks, to some extent, asyou might expect as it hasbeen in place since 1959.But it has some glaringdeficiencies which may ormay not improve with thenew U.S. relationship.”

What was the high-light of your trip?

“Cuba is a delightfulplace to visit, forgettingabout the politics and the

human right violations. Soit's fun to experience thisplace. And, since my high-light has been becomingclose friends with a perse-cuted family there, I havelearned much about howyou can help, what worksand what doesn't work.”

The programs are held

at the Sharon Centre audi-torium at Sharon Woods,11450 Lebanon Road, at7:30 p.m. They are freeand open to the public, butrequire a Great Parks mo-tor vehicle permit. Thepermits, $10 annually or$3 daily, can be purchasedat the park.

Satisfaction comes in all shapes in sizes. Fortunately, we’ve got jobs for everyone.Fine one that’s right for you on CareerBuilder.com.

A 21-year-old collegestudent from Wyomingwho was sentenced to 15years of hard labor inNorth Korea is being usedby that country’s govern-ment for political purpos-es, White House presssecretary Josh Earnesttold reporters.

At a press briefingWednesday, Earnest saidthe allegations that led toOtto Warmbier’s sentence“would not give rise to ar-rest or imprisonment inthe United States or injust about any country inthe world.”

Despite official claimsto the contrary, he said, “itis increasingly clear thatthe North Korean govern-ment seeks to use theseU.S. citizens as pawns topursue a political agen-da.”

“We strongly urge theNorth Korean govern-ment to pardon him andgrant him special amnes-ty, and immediately re-lease him,” Earnest said.

Ohio Gov. John Kasichcalled for North Korea toimmediately releaseWarmbier, who was con-victed of subversion aftera one-hour trial.

“His detention wascompletely unjustifiedand the sentence NorthKorea imposed on him isan affront to the conceptsof justice,” Kasich said ina news release.

Warmbier, who was en-rolled at the University of

Virginia, was chargedwith subversion after hewas accused of trying tosteal a propaganda ban-ner from a hotel in Janu-ary. The court held that hehad committed a crime“pursuant to the U.S. gov-ernment’s hostile policytoward (the North), in abid to impair the unity ofits people after entering itas a tourist.”

Kasich urged the Oba-ma administration to se-cure Warmbier’s releaseand asked Ohioans to “liftup Otto and his family inprayer in support of hisswift, safe return.” Con-tinuing to hold the studentwill further alienateNorth Korea from the in-ternational community,Kasich said.

Warmbier graduatedfrom Wyoming HighSchool as salutatorian in2013 and is described as a“great kid,” a “leader,”and an outstanding stu-dent. He was a junior atthe University of Vir-ginia, where he studieseconomics and global sus-tainability.

North Korea regularlyaccuses Washington andSeoul of sending spies tooverthrow its govern-ment to enable the U.S.-backed South Korean gov-ernment to take control ofthe Korean Peninsula.

Tensions are particu-larly high following NorthKorea’s recent nucleartest and rocket launch,and massive joint militaryexercises now underwaybetween the U.S. and

South Korea that theNorth sees as a dress re-hearsal for invasion.

Before the trial, Warm-bier said he had tried tosteal a propaganda ban-ner as a trophy for an ac-quaintance who wanted tohang it in her church. Thatwould be grounds for asubversion charge inNorth Korea.

Trials for foreignersfacing similar charges inNorth Korea are general-ly short and punishmentssevere. Warmbier was ar-rested as he tried to leavethe country in early Janu-ary. He was there with aNew Year’s tour group.

U.S. tourism to NorthKorea is legal. Arrests oftourists are rare, but theU.S. State Departmentstrongly advises againstit.

Further complicatingmatters, Washington andPyongyang do not havediplomatic relations. TheSwedish Embassy acts asa go-between in consularissues when U.S. citizensrun afoul of North Koreanauthorities.

North Korea an-nounced Warmbier’s ar-rest in late January, say-ing he committed an anti-state crime with “the tacitconnivance of the U.S.government and under itsmanipulation.” It remainsunclear how the U.S. gov-ernment was allegedlyconnected to Warmbier’sactions.

Warmbier had beenstaying at the YanggakdoInternational Hotel. It is

common for sections oftourist hotels to be re-served for North Koreanstaff and off-limits to for-eigners.

In a tearful statementmade before his trial,Warmbier told a gather-ing of reporters in Pyong-yang he tried to take thebanner as a trophy for themother of a friend whosaid she wanted to put it

up in her church.He said he was offered

a used car worth $10,000 ifhe could get a banner andwas also told that if he wasdetained and didn’t re-turn, $200,000 would bepaid to his mother in theform of a charitable dona-tion.

Warmbier said he ac-cepted the offer becausehis family was “suffering

from very severe finan-cial difficulties.”

Warmbier also said hehad been encouraged bythe university’s “Z Soci-ety,” which he said he wastrying to join. The maga-zine of the university’salumni association de-scribes the Z Society as a“semi-secret ring soci-ety” founded in 1892 thatconducts philanthropy.

Mount Notre Dame HighSchool

» For a school typicallyadorned in shades of blue,Mount Notre Dame painted it-self red in honor of women’sheart health.

On March 11, MND was partof the Young Hearts Learn andLive Day. In partnership withThe Christ Hospital Health Net-work and PNC Bank, the Amer-ican Heart Association createdthe “Cougars Go Red” programand health fair to help educateMND students on the risks andprevention of heart disease andstroke. Each year, the organiza-tion chooses one all-girls highschool to participate in thisevent and MND was privilegedto be chosen for 2016.

The program was designednot only to educate but also em-power young women to liveheart healthy lives. Studentshad the privilege of hearing apresentation from Dr. MonicaHunter of The Christ HospitalHealth Network, who encour-aged students to begin thinkingabout their heart health now.

Heart disease survivor,Megan Bellinski, shared her in-spirational story with students,illustrating that heart diseasecan strike in young adults.

Students participated in a va-riety of activities to better un-derstand their own heart health.They engaged in one-on-one dis-cussions with physicians, gath-ered nutritional and fitness tips,had their blood pressures taken,learned about financial well-ness and received informationrelated to careers in healthcare.

“Mount Notre Dame wasthrilled to have Go Red come toour school,” Head of School Ju-dy Gerwe said. “The programraised awareness of heart dis-ease in women and the studentswere very interested in visitingthe interactive stations thatwere set up for them. Thanks tothe Go Red team for providingvery important information forprevention and detection ofhealth issues.”

Summit Country DaySchool

» The Summit Country DaySchool awarded merit and en-dowed scholarships to 55eighth-graders.

These students in the Classof 2020 come from 19 differentmiddle, junior high and parochi-al schools in the area. The stu-dents were recognized at a cere-mony in the school’s Immacu-late Heart of Mary Chapel.

“The Summit has a nationalreputation as a leader among in-dependent schools for high-

ability students and educatingleaders of character,” said Kel-ley Schiess, assistant head ofschool for enrollment manage-ment and special projects. “TheSummit believes in honoringthe gifts and talents of studentsand awards these merit and en-dowed scholarships to highlymotivated students who em-body the values and ideals ofThe Summit mission.”

Each merit scholar was care-fully selected based on high ac-ademic achievement, testing,character references, teacherrecommendations, an individ-ual interview and an essay. En-dowed scholarships are fundsestablished by parents, grand-parents, alumni and friends ofThe Summit who hope to assistin providing a Summit educa-tion to future generations of stu-dents.

The Summit awarded 42merit scholarships and 21 en-dowed scholarships. Three ofthe endowed scholarships arenewly funded and were givenfor the first time. The Perin/Ty-ler Scholarship was establishedin 2015 by Pat and Joe Perin.

MARCH 30, 2016 • TRI-COUNTY PRESS • 7ANEWS

Gosh, I don’t think I’ve ever had somuch chickweed growing in my herbgarden. Not a bad thing, since it’s ed-ible and a wonderful plant source ofvitamins and plant protein.

I’ll put some in our spring salads,and also give lots to the girls/chickens.After a winter weary diet, chickweedis a treat for them. The name comesfrom the fact that chickens love it. Yes,it’s considered a weed by lots of folks,but not by me.

Anyway, after I hoed and tilled both theveggie and herb gardens, I worked up an appe-tite for a healthy main dish. I couldn’t do bet-

ter than Susan Parker’s brown basmatirice dish.

I smile when I hear chefs mention thelatest buzzwords in the food world:“clean food.”

Well, Susan coined that phrase manyyears ago. A mentor and icon in thehealth food and supplement arena, Susanreally “walks the talk”.

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist,educator, Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinaryprofessional and author. Find her blog

online at Abouteating.com. Email her [email protected] with “Rita’s kitch-en” in the subject line.

Susan’s brown basmati rice with curry and edamame

This can be a side or main dish. If you like, augment with chicken,seafood, or firm tofu. Stir in when you add the rice. Susan is proprietor ofSusan’s Natural World in Anderson Township and her vegetarian recipes arealways bursting with flavor and nutrition.

Brown rice is nutritionally superior to white, and edamame (green soybeans) contains vitamins, calcium, iron, protein and fiber.

1-1/2 cups Basmati or Jasmine brown rice2 teaspoons garlic, minced1 small onion, chopped, about a cup or soCurry powder to taste: start with 1 teaspoonBroth - use as much as rice package directions require2 cups shelled edamame, steamed and set asideChopped parsley for garnishSalt and pepper to taste

Film pan with olive oil. Cook onions, garlic and curry powder for acouple of minutes, until onions start to soften. Stir in rice and broth. Bringto a boil. Lower to a simmer, cover and cook 30-40 minutes or until rice iscooked. Stir in steamed edamame and garnish with parsley.

Tip from RitaThe yellow color of curry powder comes from turmeric, a superstar

anti-inflammatory spice.Substitute frozen peas for the edamame.

Karen E.’s Danish dumplings

Remember the reader who wanted the rolled dumpling soup recipelike McAlister’s? After a couple of attempts to see if the restaurant wouldshare the recipe, I gave up. But Karen wanted to share her mom’s dumplingrecipe. Here’s what Karen told me: “I do not necessarily have a flat dump-ling recipe. However, it may depend on how you drop them in the boilingbroth. I had to make dumplings last night because you made me hungry forthem. This recipe came from my mother's book. You can figure out how toadd the broth and chicken to this recipe.” Karen also told me her familyused Sapphire unbleached flour which you can’t get here, so I would subKing Arthur all purpose flour.

1/2 cup butter or margarine1 cup milk1 cup all-purpose flour unbleached flour1/4 teaspoon salt4 eggs

Place butter and milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add flour andsalt all at once. Stir quickly until dough loosens from side of pan. Removefrom stove and allow dough to cool slightly. Add eggs one at a time andbeat well after each addition. Drop by teaspoon into boiling broth. Cookover low flame until dumplings float on top – about 10 minutes. The dump-lings puff up.

Karen also said: “One half of the foregoing recipe is enough for thefirst try. Diluted creamed chicken soup may be substituted for regular brothwith rather good results.”

Published by Tower Press Inc. "Women's Circle Cookbook" 1971Tip from RitaThis recipe is very similar to cream puff dough, except that you bake

the dough instead of making dumplings.

A publication of

Community Press asked readers toshare Opening Day and Reds memo-ries:

“I’ve attended every Opening Daysince 1994 when I started going in col-lege at Xavier University. My friendsand I used to cut class and go downtownto watch the parade, stopping at Cad-dy’s, Flannagan’s and Second StreetSaloon on the way to the stadium beforethe flood of 1997 closed those placesdown.

“After graduating in 1997, I’ve con-tinued to attend, always taking the firstMonday in April off for a vacation dayas Opening Day is considered a ‘HighHoly Day’ in my household. I’ve attend-ed with friends, my brother, my sisterand my husband.

“We’ve seen winners and losers. Wewent through both inclement and beau-tiful weather; it didn’t matter. OpeningDay is an awesome excuse to ‘playhooky’ and celebrate baseball in Cincin-nati, home of the oldest team in MLB,my beloved Redlegs. I was at the finalOpening Day at Riverfront Stadiumand the first Opening Day at GreatAmerican Ball Park. I was at the gamewhen umpire John McSherry died, atragic event that left the entire stadiumsomber. We didn’t know the details ofwhat happened until we heard it lateron the news.

“ I joined the Rosie Reds and attendmany games each year, but OpeningDay is always the most special of theseason. It’s a magical day, and thepromise of spring fills the air. The pa-rade is so much fun, but being in thestadium to see the Reds open theirseason is simply awesome. It’s my fa-vorite day of the year and I encourageeveryone to go if you haven’t been.There’s no other city that compares toCincinnati for Opening Day.”

ern Hills High School in 1954 when heand some of his friends joined the Ush-er’s Union to work at Crosley Field. Hehad landed a dream job – getting paid tosee his favorite team play ball.

The dream was short lived whensoon after he was hired, he was trans-

ferred to the scoreboard, a four-storycontrol center that kept everyone up todate on the statistics of the game. Whilehis best friend Bill Bertsch sat in thepress box between Waite Hoyt and JackMoran pushing the electronic buttonfor strikes, balls and outs, Russwatched the game through a window inthe scoreboard, eyeing the umpire andreading a ticker tape to determine hisnext move.

When a scoreboard number neededto change (runs, player average, inningchange etc...) he would climb a ladderfrom one floor to the next, navigatingthrough a hole in the ceiling of eachfloor. On the third floor, Russ and hisco-workers used clothes poles tochange the numbers on the board.Throughout the game, he and his fellow“statistical engineers,” as they affec-tionately called themselves, could hearthe crowd rejoicing in jubilation or attimes, moaning in disagreement butcould only imagine what the noise wasabout. Not exactly what he signed upfor, but his hard work earned him $7 asingle game and $12 for a doubleheader.Not bad for the times!

Built in 1912 to replace The Palace of

the Fans baseball stadium, Crosley wasa Cincinnati gem for decades! For Russit was a place of many memorable andcherished moments. Peanut Jim Shel-ton was a fixture at each game, stand-ing outside the stadium in his tux andtop hat, selling fresh hot roasted pea-nuts. There was the ever popular sunand moon deck where fans could enjoythe game for just 75 cents and have aprime spot for catching a fly ball.

Russ remembers the Opening Dayswhen chairs were added on the field toaccommodate the fans who exceededthe 28,000 seats in the stands. Hespeaks fondly of times that he broughtlemonade to player Art Shamsky on ahot summer day only to be thankedwith an official Reds baseball in return.He chuckles as he recalls the nightgame that made club history, Reds vs.the San Francisco Giants, playing 21innings and lasting till 3 a.m. (Reds lost1-0.)

Needless to say, in those early years,the scoreboard building was not cli-mate controlled. One April game nightwas so cold that Russ and his co-work-ers decided to build a small fire on theground floor to keep warm. Soon afterthe fire was lit, flames were seen com-ing from the bottom of the scoreboard.It didn’t take long for the staff to ex-tinguish the fire before it got out ofhand, but it did delay the game andbecame the talk of the town!

Occasionally, Russ worked the pressgate, the section of the stadium where

players’ wives, police and fire person-nel, priests and other dignified guestswould gather. It was here that he hadhis most memorable experience atCrosley Field. During the 1956 season,Russ’ friend Pete Gray asked if hecould get seats for himself, his date andanother couple. Russ was able to com-ply with four box seats and when theguests arrived, he met and introducedhimself to the double daters. Miss Nan-cy Carter caught his eye and with per-mission of her friend and escort for theevening, Russ later got her phone num-ber. He asked her out on their first dateand the rest is history. Fifty Sevenyears later, these two are still an un-beatable team.

Russ worked at Crosley from 1954 to1957, left for a stint in the army andreturned in 1959. When the team movedto the newly built Riverfront Stadiumin 1970, a new ruling dictated that em-ployees had to live within the city limitsand Russ was no longer eligible to workfor the Reds. At the same time, his fulltime job was picking up and it was timeto move on. He is proud to be part ofCincinnati baseball history and enjoyssharing his experience with others.Asked whom he considered his all-timefavorite player, Russ said without hesi-tation, “It would have to be catcherJohnny Bench, both on and off thefield.”

With Opening Day right around thecorner, there’s no doubt that Russ andNancy Hohnroth, who live at the Vil-lage at Bayley, will be watching thegame and reliving their own treasuredmemories of Crosley Field.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTIONAre the renewal of diplomaticrelations between the United Statesand Cuba, and the president’s visitto Cuba, good for the U.S.? Why orwhy not?

Every week we ask readers a question theycan reply to via email. Send your answers [email protected] withCh@troom in the subject line.

There are few movies or sportsteams that I won’t watch just becausethey include an actor or player I don’tlike.

Despite their sometimes destructivepersonal lives, I can always change thechannel or boycott the game.

Their lives don’t have an impact onme. At the end of the day, because theyprovide us entertainment, they canpretty much say or do anything theywant.

In other words, celebrities can do nowrong and all of us keep watching.

Unfortunately, this phenomenon isnow infecting our politics, and it isdangerous for our democracy.

During this presidential primaryseason we have seen celebrity candi-dates arise that no matter how outland-ish they are or no matter how muchtheir statements conflict with the truth,they are immune from the social stan-dards we’ve set for each other.

This election is becoming a contestabout who can entertain us rather thanwho can lead us.

Unlike the wayward actor or sportsfigure, the President of the United

States has an impact onour lives – from thesecurity of our nationto our social securitychecks.

What they say anddo matters both hereand abroad.

While this electionseason is indeed enter-taining, it may result inthe lowest bar forAmerican leadership

selection that we’ve ever seen.Past is prologue in politics, history

repeats itself and records do matter.All of us read product reviews to see

how they’ve performed before we buythem, we look at companies’ past earn-ings results to judge whether we shouldbuy their stock, and we hire people atour workplaces based on their resumes.I know that many politicians have madepromises that they are not keeping, buttrusting the word of new entrants withno record is even more precarious.

So why this year, do we throw com-mon sense out the window?

Why are we not measuring our presi-

dential candidates with the same barwe do for other things?

And why do we blindly believe thosethat entertain us?

The answer is simple, because celeb-rities can do no wrong.

SHARONVILLE – PrincetonCity Schools Board of Educa-tion approved Pat McLaughlinto take over as head varsityfootball coach on March 21.

McLaughlin spent the lasttwo seasons as the head coachat Reading, where he led theBlue Devils to a 9-2 record andthe school’s first playoff ap-pearance since 2006.

Why Princeton? “That’s the one question ev-

eryone has asked, they asked

me that in my in-terview,” saidMcLaughlin, a1996 Moellergraduate whowent on to playquarterback atthe University ofDayton.

“It’s stillPrinceton, it has great tradi-tion, great facilities … I thinkit’s really similar to Moellerwith the success they had in the’70s and ’80s.

“We’re gonna embrace thepast and allow these kids to take

their own journey and createtheir own identity.”

McLaughlin began coachingas a graduate assistant at theUniversity of Memphis, beforebecoming an assistant at Hay-wood High School (Tenn.) andeventually returning to Moelleras an assistant from 2006-14.

McLaughlin, who wasnamed the Cincinnati HillsLeague coach of the year thispast season, replaces CalvinJohnson, whose contract wasnot renewed back in early Feb-ruary.

The Vikings haven’t had a

winning season since 2011, butMcLaughlin is excited for thechallenge of competing in theGreater Miami Conference.

“It’s arguably the best con-ference in the state for foot-ball,” he said, adding the mutualrespect factor between theGMC and the Greater CatholicLeague South.

“The challenge of going outeveryday and competingagainst the best coaches, thebest players and the best teams– it’s something I’m really look-ing forward to.

“We’re gonna have to have

our best effort and have ourkids ready to play against thesegreat teams.”

McLaughlin said he willteach at Princeton in the fall,and he’ll finish the school yearteaching at Reading.

McLaughlin was humbled bythe respect and congratulationshe received since news circu-lated of his new job.

“It’s awesome (the show ofsupport),” said McLaughlin. “Ifyou treat people the right wayand do things the right way thesupport is always going to bethere.”

The diamond girls of springcould be moving up in the Cin-cinnati Hills League standingssoon at Wyoming High School.While a softball record of 8-13overall (4-8 CHL) doesn’t callfor a ticker-tape parade, theCowboys should show some im-provement with a number ofveterans.

Coach Jerry Campbell re-turns seven starters with ReilyBoss, Samantha Campbell, Mi-chaela Fetter, Allison Golden,Madeline Juergens, ReaganRaymer and Skylar Wolski. In-fielder Raymer made CHL firstteam last season with outfield-ers Boss and Golden makingsecond team.

“Staying healthy will be keyfor us this year,” Campbell said.“Barring any injuries or set-backs, we should be very com-petitive in the CHL. Severalgirls have made positionchanges and have adapted wellthus far.”

Raymer led the team in hit-ting last season at .418 with ahome run and 13 runs batted in.

The Cowboys start at IndianHill April 4, then host CincinnatiChristian on April 5.

Princeton

Now in her second season asPrinceton’s head softball coach,Emily Breitholle feels a com-fort level that she’s hopingtranslates into wins, after theVikings went winless last sea-son.

“Going in I know the girls al-ready,” said Breitholle. “I knowhow they react and how they re-spond.

“We also only have four sen-iors this year and then I’ve gottwo freshmen I pulled up also;it’s kind of like we have a young-er team, but they (still) know theexpectations. It’s fun to kind ofmold them and get them in anew routine. It’s always fun, butchallenging at the same time.”

The Vikings have four re-turning starters in senior cen-ter fielder Haley Osborne, sen-ior pitcher Jasmine Vincenzo,junior first baseman SerinityTaylor and junior third base-man Mikayla Carpenter.

Breitholle said several newadditions should help providesome depth. Freshman leftfielder/catcher Mariah Cone,senior Katie Boyle, senior Alex-is Thomas and sophomore sec-ond baseman Elizabeth Whitt,who Breitholle described as thebiggest leader on the team.

As for improvements, theVikings have focused on hitting.

“Defense, we can make theplays, but hitting wise we strug-gled with that last year,” saidBreitholle. “It was hard to get agirl all the way around to thirdand score; we did score but itwas few and far between.”

After opening the seasonwith a pair of Greater MiamiConference games at ColerainMarch 29 and hosting MasonMarch 30, the Vikings are atMiddletown April 1.

Princeton’s also playing theReds Futures Showcase for thefirst time ever this season onApril 2 at Roselawn Parkagainst Withrow. Breithollesaid tickets cost $5, which in-cludes one free Skyline Chilicheese coney and a voucher fora Reds game this season.

Mount Notre DameAfter five years of coaching

elite travel ball, Julie Josefor-sky takes over as Mount NotreDame’s softball coach thisspring. In five seasons of coach-

ing two elite travel teams sheracked up 468 wins.

MND has had two straightwinning seasons and were 12-11overall last year and 6-4 in theGirls Greater Catholic League.Returning starters are seniorcatcher Lexi Ripperger, sopho-more center fielder Joelle Zie-linski, senior pitcher SydneyZeuch, sophomore catcher Lyd-ia Anderson, senior shortstopTaylor Schmidt, junior infielderMacy Taney and junior outfield-er Shelby Nelson.

Taney and Zielinski madeGGCL first team last year withZeuch making second team.

“I like the speed, defensiveversatility of the players,” Jose-forsky said. “We have good con-tact hitters throughout the line-up and 10 of the 13 players playtravel ball.”

Ripperger has committed toplay at Lourdes University, withZeuch to Defiance.

MND will visit St. UrsulaMarch 30 and Loveland April 5.

Their first home game is withMercy April 6 at ExpresswayPark in Milford.

CHCADiane Barghini takes over

the CHCA Eagles for LeahCrouch this season. She inheritsa deep roster led by a trio offirst-team all-Miami ValleyConference performers.

With what the Eagles havereturning, they should be the fa-vorite to win the MVC Scarletthis season.

SHARONVILLE – Ifthe search is for an expe-rienced, deep and athleticvolleyball team, look nofurther than PrincetonHigh School. The Vikingsmay have gone 9-13 lastseason, but they returnfour seasoned startersand the depth behind thatto have a much better sea-son this time out.

Returning to the start-ing lineup are senior set-ter Jamar Hines, seniormiddle hitter ClayvonBrayboy, junior setterJames Walz and juniormiddle hitter JamalHines, who’s committedto play football at the Uni-versity of Cincinnati.

The junior Hinesproved to be one of thebetter players in theGreater Miami Confer-ence last season as a first-teamer. He ranked eighthoverall in the GMC in kills(157), fourth in blocks (64)last season

Walz had the fourth-most assists (510) in theconference and was sec-ond-team all-GMC lastseason.

Behind that, seventh-year coach Tamette Duck-worth has a deep rotationwith senior libero Camer-on Phelps, senior DevanCook, senior Chris Har-rington and junior defen-sive specialist SpencerSnider.

“Most of them havebeen playing togetherthree years now,” Duck-worth said. “You’re start-ing to see some consisten-

cy in the play, how wellthey’re connecting to-gether. We’re way aheadof where we normally areat this time. I don’t feellike we’re starting over.”

Duckworth said theVikings are looking to im-prove in the serve andserve receive as areasthey’re really working toget right.

Princeton opens athome against Loveland onApril 4, and begins GMCaction with a visit fromHamilton April 6, thenFairfield on April 7.

St. XavierSt. Xavier volleyball

looks mighty again afteranother outstanding sea-son last year. The Bomb-ers went 19-2 last seasonand won the GreaterCatholic League South(6-1), but they’ll have to re-

place the GCL South play-er of the year, Nick Talbot,and first-teamer PatrickBeer, who both graduated.

St. X returns threestarters in senior outsidehitter Evan Bretl, whowas second-team all-GCLSouth last season, alongwith junior setter/defen-sive specialist Cole Bretland junior libero/defen-sive specialist Conor Lov-ell.

Coach Bill Ferris, nowin his 16th season coach-ing the Bombers, will lookfor senior Lee Yates tohelp Evan Bretl contrib-ute at the net. Ferris alsoexpects seniors MatthewHildebrandt, an outsidehitter, and Brad York, aright side hitter, to take onheavy roles in the leader-ship department on andoff the court.

“Looking forward to

getting back in the saddleafter a disappointing statetourney result last year,”Ferris said. “We transi-tion from a very senior-heavy look last year to ayear where we’ll haveeven distribution fromseniors, juniors and likelya couple of sophomorestoo.”

Ferris said his team islooking forward to the an-nual gauntlet that is theGCL South.

The Bombers open theseason with four straightat home against La Salleon April 8, Centerville onApril 12, Elder on April 15and Walsh Jesuit April 16.

Roger BaconRoger Bacon volley-

ball finished second in theGreater Catholic LeagueCo-ed and earned a Divi-sion II state semifinalberth last season, but ifthey hope to have anothersuccessful year they’llhave to replace four all-conference players andmost of its production lostto graduation.

Annie Kathman washired to replace coachAdam Goller, but Kath-man recently gave birthso she turned the reinsover to Chris Newton, whosaid she previouslycoached the boys from

2000-2006. The Spartans return

four players with experi-ence from last season insenior libero/all-aroundHunter Jones, junior NickBeck, and seniors JaredHilling and Jared Majanc-sik. Junior Will Alanderwill also be a big helpfrom his middle hitter po-sition.

Newton said althoughmost of her team didn’tsee much varsity time lastyear, she’s hoping many ofthe junior varsity playerscan move into varsityroles and help carve outsome wins.

“I think the one plusthey have is they allplayed as a core group lastyear and they’re just mov-ing along into their senioryear,” said Newton.“There’s a lot of versatili-ty to that. Myself being anew coach and not know-ing any of these players,I’m bringing a little differ-ent swing to the game.Some guys are used toplaying different posi-tions and now they’refinding themselves in dif-ferent roles.”

Newton also said she’s“waiting for someone tostep up and be a leader.”

Roger Bacon opens onthe road at McNicholasApril 5, then at Alter April

6. The Spartans homeopener is April 8 againstPurcell Marian.

MoellerWhen you compete at

Moeller High School, anappearance in the Divi-sion I state finals fouryears ago isn’t enough tomake a Crusader content.

Though they do rest oc-casionally, coach MattMcLaughlin’s squad willnot rest on their laurels asthey seek to return to thestate finals at Capital Uni-versity in Columbus. Lastseason, a loss to Beaver-creek kept Moeller out ofthe finals.

Overall, the Crusadershave seven state champi-onships (one underMcLaughlin, four fromformer coach Greg Ul-land and two from formercoach Tom Brinkmann).Moeller has been to thechampionship game 11times since the boys com-petition began in 1988.

Last season, Moellerwas 21-7 overall and tiedfor second in the GreaterCatholic League-South at3-3. McLaughlin has 86 ca-reer wins in five yearsand should reach the cen-tury mark this spring.

Returning starters areConnor McNamara, Da-vid Wernery, Chad Mus-tard, Jason Bruggemann,Jonny Rickert and BenReutelshofer.

“I feel like we’ve had astrong off-season in theweight room and theseguys have certainly im-proved in their club sea-sons,” McLaughlin said. “Ialso like the leadershipthis group brings. They’rea driven and focusedgroup and it’s positivelyimpacting our youngerplayers.”

Moeller starts off withSt. Xavier March 29 be-fore playing in the TigerClassic April 1-2. They re-turn for road games at El-der April 8 and Oak HillsApril 11 before returninghome April 13 to play Al-ter.

Rudyard Kipling’sclassic story about a mon-goose, bird and muskratwho band togetheragainst a cobra to savetheir garden home bringsthe Cincinnati Playhousein the Park’s 2015-16 Offthe Hill series for familiesto a close with perfor-mances from April 16through May 22.

Adapted by award-winning playwright YYork, “The Garden of Rik-ki Tikki Tavi” is a delight-ful comedy about sharingand cooperation recom-

mended for audiencesages 5 and older.

When mongoose RikkiTikki Tavi arrives unan-nounced in the garden,she threatens the statusquo, much to the fury oftailor bird Darzee andmuskrat Chuchu. Theytry everything they canthink of to persuade RikkiTikki Tavi to leave – untilthey discover that themongoose causes the gar-den’s cruel cobra Nag torun in fear. That’s whenthey realize that theyshould work together to

protect their sharedhome.

“Through the journeyof the play Rikki Tikki Ta-vi learns to embrace whoshe is,” Playhouse Direc-tor of Education Dau-nielle Rasmussen, whowill make her Cincinnatidirecting debut with theproduction, said. “Byforging deep friendshipsand working hard to findsolutions with her newfriends, she creates ahome for herself andtakes her place as the pro-tector of the garden.”

“The Garden of RikkiTikki Tavi” will debut “onthe hill” at the Playhouse,with performances at10:30 a.m. and 1p.m. Satur-day, April 16. Tickets forthe Playhouse perfor-mances may be boughtthrough the box office for

$5. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.that day, families are in-vited to become the artmakers with Rikki TikkiTavi-related crafts, color-ing and tons of family funbetween the Playhouse’sperformances.

The cast of “The Gar-den of Rikki Tikki Tavi”includes Robert CarltonStimmel (Teddy/Nag),Erin Ward (Chuchu), Re-nika Williams (Darzee)and Lilian Wouters (RikkiTikki Tavi), all membersof the Playhouse’s 2015-2016 Bruce E. Coyle Act-ing Intern Company. Oth-er production team mem-bers, in addition to Ras-mussen, include set de-signer Kenton Brett,costume designer Jona-than P. Waters and stagemanager Tracy Hoida.

The cast members will

explore physicality andvocal techniques in orderto embody the various ani-mals in the show. The aimis to strike a balance be-tween the fun of strayingfrom human realism andthe challenge of maintain-ing the integrity of the sto-ry being told by theseunique characters.

“Our cast and creativeteam are a group of ex-traordinary artists whoseindividual strengths willblend into a tapestry ofcolor and movement, cre-ating a vibrant interpreta-tion of this classic story,”says Rasmussen, who hasdirected theater foryoung audiences at MarinTheatre Company in thepast. She hopes the showwill spark conversationssurrounding the defini-tions of community and

family – exploring how welearn to share and worktogether in the gardens ofour neighborhoods, ourschools and our nuclearand extended families.

A Conversation with

PETE ROSEReds Hall of Fame Inductee

Presented by:

Sponsored by:

Bill Jennings is a communica-tions professor at UC Blue Ash Col-lege. He is also a storyteller who hascollaborated with two of his col-leagues to earn international ac-claim.

Jennings, an Eastgate resident,has an expertise in short films and afocus on civic engagement andcommunity service.

He teamed with Nancy Jennings,a communication professor at theUniversity of Cincinnati, who is alsohis wife, and Kent Meloy, creativedirector in UC’s eLearning Center,to create a short film project thatwon an award at the My Hero Inter-national Film Festival in Santa Mon-ica, California, this past November.

Additional contributors to theproject included UC professors Mi-chael Sharp and Bob Jonason, aswell as Jesse Montgomery and Bev-in Blankenbuehler with UC’s Red &Black Productions.

The competition included morethan 300 short films from all overthe world with a common theme:they celebrated people and projectsthat are making a positive differ-ence in the world.

“It is amazing how creative someof the producers are. These filmsare visual essays and there weresome very powerful messages putinto small packages,” Bill Jenningssaid.

“Jim Cotter: An AppalachianRenaissance” was submitted by theUC team and won third place in theUnsung Heroes category. The five-minute film tells the story of a gen-tleman who is spending his retire-ment volunteering to paint people’shomes and clean up the town ofGlouster, Ohio. The piece was partof the American Trustees projectproduced by the team. The othertwo videos in that project, “RogerGrein: The Cheerful Giver and Ja-naki Venkayya: Committed to Car-

ing,” also won honorable mention atthe film festival.

“The film project connects withmy overall thinking about commu-nication because they are stories,”Bill Jennings said. “As a communi-cation teacher, I am well aware thatnarrative can shape us as people. Ina world that can seem confusing, wegravitate toward stories that reso-nate and ring true. That’s why wewanted to craft a few stories aboutgood people doing noble things tohelp their communities. Those are

narratives I hope will endure and in-spire.”

The My Hero Project was found-ed in 1995 with the mission of usingmedia, art and technology to cele-brate the best of humanity, one sto-ry at a time.

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS

The Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agen-cy has resumed monitoring and reportingpollen and mold counts in preparation forallergy season.

This is the time when some trees com-mon in Southwest Ohio (cedar, elm) natu-rally pollinate.

Pollen and mold counts are availableeach weekday by 10 a.m. at 513-946-7753 orSouthwestOhioAir.org. High counts arealso reported on Twitter (@swohioair) andFacebook (SouthwestOhioAir).

The severity of allergy symptoms de-pends on the amount of pollen in the airand the degree of sensitivity of the person.To reduce exposure to pollen and mold, theSouthwest Ohio Air Quality Agency rec-ommends:

» Minimize outdoor activity between 5a.m. and 10 a.m. – when pollen levels are

highest.» Contact an allergist or doctor for

medical advice.» Track pollen and mold counts. The

higher the pollen and mold count is, thegreater thelikelihood that particles willmake their way into the nasal passagesand lungs and induce allergic symptoms.

When the weather warms up in thespring, additional precautions allergy suf-ferers can take include:

» Avoid areas with freshly cut grassand avoid lawn care activities.

» After being outdoors, it is best toshower and change clothing, as pollen canadhere to clothing, skin and hair.

» Keep windows closed and use an airconditioner in the home and car.

» Don't hang sheets or clothing outsideto dry. Pollens can collect on them.
