The ceremony begins at 1 p.m. Sunday, May 24, at Delhi’s Veterans Memorial Park, 934 Neeb Road. Township resident Jeff Le- fler, secretary of the veterans association, said the group has hosted a Memorial Day ceremo- ny for about 10 years. The commemoration in- cludes a roll call of the 19 ser- vicemen from Delhi who were killed in action, the firing of three volleys in honor of the fallen, the playing of Taps, pa- triotic songs, a bagpiper and color guards.

GREEN TWP. — MelissaFrom knew somethingwas wrong when the firstquestion the doctor askedupon entering the roomwas if she had any familyor friends she wanted tocall.

“I looked at him andsaid, ‘Is it that bad,’” shesaid. “And he said, ‘It is.’”

The doctor then escort-ed a tearful From into an-other room and explainedthe ultrasound of heryoung son’s kidneyshowed signs consistentwith cancer.

“The word ‘cancer’ justthrew me off,” she said.“That’s my baby. I wasthinking of everythingthat could be wrong, butnever once did I think can-cer.”

An otherwise healthy5-year-old, From’s son,Ryley, was now diagnosedwith cancer.

“Everything was adaze,” she said. “I kind ofwent into a mode where Iwas like, ‘What do we donow? What do we do?’”

A tumor isdiscovered

The Oakdale Elemen-tary School kindergart-ner’s battle with cancer

began in mid-Januarywhen his mom picked himup from day care one af-ternoon and he told her hehad blood in his urine.

Melissa From calledhis doctor and set an ap-pointment for the follow-ing day to have his bloodtested. The doctorthought the blood in Ry-ley’s urine could have re-sulted from a recent boutof strep throat, but re-ferred Ryley to CincinnatiChildren’s Hospital Medi-cal Center for furthertesting to be safe.

From said doctors atChildren’s ordered anoth-er blood test, but the re-sults from that testshowed the blood in hisurine was not related tothe strep throat so doctorsscheduled an ultrasound.

“I knew something waswrong because when wewere in the ultrasound Icould see a difference be-tween both kidneys whenthe technician had themup on the screen,” shesaid. “The technician keptgoing back to the rightkidney and she was reallyfocusing on it, and I justhad a bad feeling.”

After seeing an abnor-mality in Ryley’s rightkidney, his doctor ordereda biopsy. It was then dis-covered Ryley had aWilms’ tumor in his kid-ney and cancer cells insome of the lymph nodessurrounding the kidney. AWilms’ tumor is a kidneycancer that primarily af-fects children betweenthe ages of 2 and 5.

He was listed as havingStage 3 cancer and admit-ted for surgery the follow-ing day, Jan. 21, to have hisright kidney removed.Doctors also removed asmany of the infectedlymph nodes as possible.

“It’s a weird feeling asa parent because youwant to protect your child,but you can’t protectagainst that,” From said.“You have to leave it up tothe doctors and have faiththey’re going to treat yourbaby and protect your ba-by. I put everything intheir hands.”

She said Ryley was re-leased from the hospitalthe first week of Februaryand began radiation and

chemotherapy treat-ments the same day heleft the hospital.

“He’s had seven radia-tion treatments and hehad weekly chemo treat-ments up until a fewweeks ago,” she said.

“He’s doing well now.We finally hit a point in histreatment where he getschemo every third week.It’s nice that he gets a two-week break between che-mo now.”

Brave little boy“Ryley has been amaz-

ing with everything,” hismother said. “He’s veryproud of the scar he has onhis belly and he shows itoff. He thinks he’s cool hehad surgery and he’s defi-nitely proud of himselfthat he went through all ofit.”

From said she’s beenopen with her son aboutthe diagnosis from thevery beginning.

“We call it cancer and Iexplained to him about thecancer cells and how wehave to do chemo to killthe cells,” she said. “Hav-ing that understanding,he’s able to deal with itbetter. He knows he had abig ball of bad cells andchemo is fighting it.”

Ryley isn’t a big fan oftaking medicine, evenwhen he feels sick afterhis chemotherapy treat-ments, she said.

“He is tough. He triesto tough through the nau-sea and the pain,” shesaid. “I’ve had to sneakhim his pain medicinesometimes when I can tellhe’s hurting but won’t sayanything for fear of tak-ing medicine.”

When he first startedlosing his hair, she said hewould shake the loosestrands onto the kitchentable and show people.

“The way he deals withit all is very different thanhow adults deal with it,”she said.

The number one ruleshe enforces when familyand friends visit is that noone is allowed to cryaround Ryley or talk in anegative way about hiscancer.

“I didn’t want him toever have the thought inhis head that somethingbad might happen,” Fromsaid.

“I want him to thinkhe’ll get better. He doesn’tconsider himself a sickkid and that’s been a hugehelp.”

His final chemothera-

py treatment will takeplace in late July, at whichpoint he’ll be scanned todetermine if all the can-cer cells have been de-stroyed.

Supporting Ryleyand Melissa

A single mother rais-ing her soon-to-be 6-year-old on her own, From’sfriends and family haveorganized a benefit tohelp her with mountingmedical bills.

The benefit, which in-cludes a dinner, basketraffles, split-the-pot and asilent auction, is 7 p.m. to11 p.m. Saturday, May 23,at The Woodlands inCleves. Nearly 550 ticketshave been sold for theevent.

Friends have alsolaunched an online crowdfunding campaign on Go-FundMe, which has raisedmore than $11,500.

“I’m blown away,”From said. “It’s beenamazing and overwhelm-ing, in a good sense.”

The support from thecommunity and the OakHills school district hasbeen tremendous as well,she said. Ryley has re-ceived care packagesfrom complete strangers,and people frequentlysend touching notes andwords of encouragementthrough a Facebook pageher friends created calledRally for Ryley againstCancer.

“It’s been a constantsupport for me and forhim,” From said. “It givesme faith to keep going onthose days when it’s toooverwhelming. It’s nice tobe able to feel like ifyou’re going to fall youhave someone there topick you up.”

She said she’s extreme-ly grateful for everyonewho has reached out tohelp her and her son, andshe knows all the supportwill help Ryley make itthrough this.

The picnic sea-son doesn’tstart for meuntil MemorialDay.

We have a tradition inour family of attendingoutdoor Mass, weather

permitting,at St. Philo-mena inClermontCounty.Afterward,there’s agun saluteto the fall-en veter-ans. Wevisit myparents’

graves and the grandkidshelp me plant sprigs ofMom’s heirloom mintaround them. I knowmany of you celebrateMemorial Day this way,whether remembering afallen veteran, family orfriends. So here are somenice side dishes to goalong with the celebra-tion of burgers and hotdogs that are part of thisspecial day.

Roxanne’sstrawberry spinach salad

I had a presentation on“Eating from the Gardenof Eden” at Faith Luther-an Church. RoxanneJohnson prepared dinnerfor the participants andher spinach salad wasoutstanding. I have justenough spinach comingup in my garden to makeRoxanne’s version of thisclassic. Roxanne is aself-taught cook andcaterer, picking up muchof what she learned fromher Italian mom and

grandmom.“Feeding people is my

way of expressing love.It is how I can showGod's care and compas-sion to others”, Roxannesaid.

Dressing:2 lemons zested (1

teaspoon) and juiced (1/4cup lemon juice)

1/4 cup white winevinegar

2/3 cup sugar2 tablespoons vegeta-

ble oil2 teaspoon poppy

seedsSalad: mix together:1/2 pound strawberries

hulled & quartered1/2 medium cucumber,

scored, cored, thinlysliced and cut in half

1/4 red onion slicedinto thin slices and cut inhalf

8 ounces or more babyspinach

Garnish: 1/3 cup slicedalmonds toasted

Adjust berries, cu-cumber, almonds & onionto your taste. For dress-ing combine zest, juice,vinegar, sugar, oil & pop-py seeds. Whisk untilwell blended. Roxanneuses a stick blender. Pourdressing on salad, toss.Sprinkle almonds on.Serve immediately.Serves 8 to 10.

Roxanne said the sal-ad goes limp prettyquickly so try to makejust as much as you canuse in 1 sitting.

Morton’sSteakhouse garlicbutter clone

For Jon, a “devotedreader”, who wants toput a dollop of garlic

butter like Morton’s ontop of his grilled stripsteaks. The secret ingre-dients? What do youthink about anchovypaste and Pernod li-queur?

Blend:3 sticks unsalted but-

ter, softenedGood handful parsley,

leaves only, minced fine2 tablespoons minced

fresh garlicAbout 2 tablespoons

minced shallotSqueeze of anchovy

paste to taste - start witha teaspoon and go fromthere

Pernod liqueur - startwith a generous table-

spoon and go from thereSalt (a little bit, the

anchovy is salty) andwhite pepper to taste

To freeze: roll into alog, wrap well and freezeseveral months.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen

If you don’t have Per-nod, a licorice tastingliqueur, try substitutingfennel leaves or tarra-gon, both anise flavoredherbs.

Youcan prune it back a bitbut it’s not going to staybushy like the heartierherbs such as basil, rose-mary, etc. If it does go toseed, let the seeds, calledcoriander, drop to theground, cover with 1/4”soil and soon you’ll seenew cilantro shoots pop-ping up. Or just plantcoriander seeds (evenfrom the pantry) and gofrom there. You can plantthem all summer andeven into late fall, wherethey nestle in the soiloverwinter, ready togrow when the weathergets warm.

When the Columbia PowerStation was built, it was a mod-ern marvel for its time.

The Times Star said, “Theplant is the last work in mod-ern steam and electric engi-neering. Its only problem wasit was so remote that it wasvery hard to attract skilledworkers. The closest city wasNorth Bend with about 500residents. The roads were noteven paved and there was nopublic transportation.

Columbia Gas and ElectricCo. and the Columbia systemrealized the problem and be-fore construction of the powerplant began, and divided thecompany into three separateentities. Columbia IndustrialCo. would develop industryand build a village for workers.Columbia Power Station wouldoperate the plant, and Miami

Power wouldacquire landfor right-of-way and buildlines.

The plantwas completedin 1925. Thatsame yearconstruction ofthe villagebegan. It was

built in a park like setting.Thirty-eight houses were nes-tled on the hilly wooded lotswith winding roads terracedlots. The single-family homesconstructed of brick, stucco orframe ranged from four-roomone-story, to seven-room two-story houses. All had front andback porches and garages,contained warm-air heating,complete bathroom and kitch-en plumbing, electric lighting,

and electric stoves. All blindsand light bulbs were furnishedby the company. There werepaved streets that were lightedat night. Every house had agarden plot to raise vegetables,and a place for a dog.

There were also amenities.Nearby, at Lost Bridge, on theBig Miami River, was a bath-ing beach. Within a few hun-dred feet was the fort of theancient mound builders, whichwas later turned into a park.The village has modern ser-vices furnished. Water thatcame from artesian wells,electricity from the plant, coaldeliver and ash removal wasdone by plant workers. Foodwas not a problem either. Acompany store made deliv-eries. There was also a smallschool where children attend-ed until the third grand and

then they were bussed to NorthBend. The company also pro-vided maintenance and electri-cal work.

A three-story clubhouse wasbuilt for recreation. The mainfloor consisted of the diningroom, post office, administra-tion office, drawing room andkitchen. The second floorhoused about 27 single menwho worked at the plant. Thethird floor housed the workersthat took care of the clubhouseand the village. There was atwo-lane bowling alley in thebasement, and a book mobilecame to the area with librarybooks.

There was no police or fireprotection so the communitylooked out for each other. How-ever, there were five reels offire hose in case of fire. Onlyone fire occurred in the vil-

lage’s 35-year history. Theblaze was believed to havebeen started by sparks fromthe chimney, or from a passingtrain. Men from the villagehelped to save most of thefamilies’ belongings.

The village remained acommunity for about 35 yearswith about 225 residents.There are still a few housesleft on the hillsides. The Powerstation is now owned by TheDuke Energy Co.

Richard Jones*, a localexpert on Price Hill baseball,recently shared some of hisfondest baseball memorieswith me.

Jones created the baseballroom at the Price Hill Histori-cal Society Museum, includingsome of his own baseballmemorabilia. With great en-thusiasm, he told me “NativeAmericans played a type ofbaseball, why, even the Flint-stones hit a round object witha stick!” “It’s what boys do.”

He said baseball has beenpart of Price Hill since it wasfirst established in 1873. Onlyit wasn’t the organized sport itis today.

Men played just for fun,and a few beers. Businessesand churches sponsoredteams. Anyone could play. In1910 Holy Family and St. Law-rence Churches combined toform both boys’ and men’steams. In the ‘60s and ‘70s theMasonic Lodge formed amen’s team, competing withother Masonic Lodges. Marm-er’s Shoes, Yaeger’s PaintStore and Hauck’s Cafe werejust a few businesses sponsor-ing teams.

Jerseys were wool, so nojacket was needed on cooldays, but on summer daysplayers must have sweltered.Teams reused them year afteryear, proper fit was optional.

Many jerseys proudly pro-

claimed“Price Hill”on the front.

Knickerswere commonclothing forboys andoften doubledas baseballknickers.They wereshort, bandedclose to the

leg so they didn’t get in theway when playing ball. Capswere soft, gloves were small.Andy Gallagher, an original“Oldtimer” wore a glove oneach hand for protection.

Hutchinson Leather Co. onWest Eighth Street was thebaseball glove source for localplayers.

Players could buy glovesfrom the factory. Hutch of-fered good deals to Price Hillplayers, reduced prices and noshipping charges! For a price,they would even custom makegloves to your needs. J

ones said as a young boy heasked for his own ball glovefor Christmas several yearsrunning before he finally gotone.

Western Hills High Schoolproduced many major leagueplayers. Everyone knows theWest Side legend, Pete Rose,but Ed Brinkman, Russ Nixon,Art Mahaffey, Ricky Keeton,Clyde Vollmer, Don Zimmer,

Jim Frey, plus others wereexceptional baseball players,all originating at West Hi.

As Knothole took off, thegame became more compet-itive. Only the top 11 playersmade the cut.

American Legion Selectteams were created, withseveral sending players to themajor league.

As kids, Jones and a friend,Doug Doench didn’t let rejec-tion from select teams botherthem. In 1956, with regularball fields in use, they bor-rowed Richard’s dad’s mea-suring tape and his mom’sclothesline and marked off atemporary field at MountEcho with chalk. When thepark administrator com-plained too many times, theycreated “Beaumont Park” outof an empty lot on BeaumontAvenue where they built awiffle ball field, and playedout their life long love of thegame.

*Richard Jones is writing abook about Elder baseball.

The Price Hill HistoricalSociety and Museum is openTuesdays and Thursdays, 1p.m. to 4 p.m.

GREEN TWP. — No matter thesport, four-year varsity letterwinners don’t come around allthat often. Oak Hills HighSchool’s softball team has four,and they’re the winningest classin the school’s fast-pitch history,according to Oak Hills.

They’re seniors, and bestfriends: Bethani Drew, EmilyWolfzorn, Brooke Shad and Be-kah Finn. Their bond developedquickly as “tiny” freshmen onvarsity four years ago.

“It’s weird being a freshmanon varsity,” Wolfzorn said, add-ing that having each other tolean on made it easier.

As freshman, they didn’thave a choice, they had to growup, and did. All four agreed thatOak Hills’ tournament run asfreshman was one of their fa-vorite memories. They enteredthe postseason, that year, with a14-11 record, and no one expect-ed them to make a regional fi-nal.

“When we made that long runin the tournament (freshmanyear), it didn’t really hit us untilwe started going further andfurther,” said Finn. “It madeyou grow up really fast … (andrealize) we aren’t freshmananymore.”

As sophomores they went24-4, won the Greater MiamiConference but lost early in thepostseason. They’re provenwinners. Their career record,as of May 15, is 82-35. But,they’ve done more than just wingames.

“We made history,” saidDrew.

They also helped revive aprogram.

“A couple years ago youwould have one or two goodplayers. Now, you’ve really gota lot of girls (that can play), theclasses coming up are all solid,”Wolfzorn said.

Experience has allowed allfour an opportunity to helpmentor their younger team-mates.

“They’ve only tasted suc-cess. It’s what they expect andnow they’re the leaders of theteam,” said fifth-year coachJackie Cornelius-Bedel. “Thisyear, it’s been so easy because(the seniors) take on the leader-ship and almost a coach role forthe younger players. It takesthe stress off the coaches.”

Because they’re only slightlyremoved from being smallerversions of themselves, theytake great pride in being lead-ers and role models.

“We’ve all been here sincefreshman year. We know what

it’s like to be the youngest andnot know what’s going on,”Wolfzorn said. “You can sort oftell they are looking at you.”

Shad, who’s signed with Cap-ital University, agreed. “I loveseeing the younger kids look upto us.”

It certainly doesn’t hurt thatall four can play. Shad’s 11-4pitching, and hits .433 with 20RBI. Drew, the catcher, hits .449and has 15 RBI. At first base,Finn, hits .451 (25 RBI), and atsecond base, Wolfzorn, hits .380with 27 RBI.

Like all great runs, it will in-evitably end. A fact not lost onfour friends, who leave a pro-gram better off than when theyarrived.

“Because we started togeth-er, and we’re ending together …it makes me sad, in general noteven softball,” said Shad.“These have been my bestfriends.”

In a matter of months, they’llgo their separate ways. Wolf-zorn and Drew aren’t playingnext year. Finn’s signed withMarietta College, which is in thesame conference as Capital, soShad might find herself pitch-ing against a former teammateand best friend for years tocome.

WESTERN HILLS — WesternHills High School left no doubtwho the top team was this soft-ball season in the CincinnatiMetro Athletic Conference.The Mustangs won nine of 10CMAC games and won the con-ference championship for thefirst time since 2010.

West High clinched theleague title with a 1-0 win overAiken May 7. Its only confer-ence loss came to Oyler, 14-13,in the regular season finale onMay 13.

Second-year head coachAmanda Carpenter knew herteam, losing just one seniorlast year, was equipped tomake a run at the CMAC title.

“Based on what I knew wehad going in, they were verycapable of doing what they’veaccomplished,” said Carpen-ter, who attributed the successto team camaraderie. “Both inand out of school, they’re to-gether. We’ve all become like alittle family. They girls are al-ways communicating witheach other. They’re a verytight-knit group.”

The Mustangs went from athree-win season last year to a10-win season this year. WhenCarpenter took over the pro-gram, she saw a change on thehorizon.

“I saw it when I walked intothe gym and saw them tryout(two years ago),” she said.“When I came on as the headcoach, I saw the potential thisteam has. I was not surprisedat all by how (this team) has re-sponded.”

West High’s led by ReneeConners, the only senior on theroster. Conners plays secondbase, is tough at the plate anddangerous on the base path.Sonja Rembert’s been the aceof the pitching staff for twoyears now. Carpenter saidRembert’s was runner-up forCMAC Player of the Year in2014, and she’s hoping takesthe title this year. According toCarpenter, Sayanna Jonesstepped into a leadership rolethis year, “She’s come (full cir-cle) from last year to this year.(Jones) can hit, field, if I needher behind the plate, she cango back there and catch forme. She’s doing anything andeverything I’ve asked her todo and doesn’t white or cryabout it.”

The Mustangs took a giantstep in the right direction thisseason. They’re hoping to keepthat momentum rolling.

“I think this team can justcontinue to build in the off-season and over the fall intonext season,” Carpenter said.“I’m excited for what’s tocome.”

Hamilton County need-ed 51years before produc-ing an Ohio High SchoolAthletic Association big-school state basketballchampion.

That was Elder in 1973.The county even had

problems getting teams tothe state final four. Onlyseven local teams cap-tured regional champion-ships, earning trips to thestate semifinals. Onlythree of them reached thechampionship game be-fore the Panthers.

The team that got clos-est to winning a statechampionship before El-der celebrated a 50th re-union on Feb. 13. The 1965St. Xavier Bombers rode aremarkable 22-game win-ning streak – includingwins over three teamsranked among the state’stop 10 – into the state fi-nals, where they lost byone point, 54-53, to Colum-bus South.

“Those are good mem-ories,” said Bob Arnzen,who was named the statetournament’s Most Valu-able Player. “There’s a lit-tle bit of bittersweet. Itwas a good experience forall of us – the students andthe school, too. I don’tbring it up very often, butwhen I talk to people, thefirst thing they want totalk about is that game.”

The 6-foot-5 Arnzen, aFort Thomas, Ky., nativewho operates The OldeFort Pub there, and 6-2guard Joe Sadelfeld werethe only starters return-ing from a Bombers teamthat went 17-3 overall andwon the 1963-1964 GreaterCincinnati League cham-pionship before losing inthe second round of thetournament. They lost to aHughes team led by sen-ior Bob Quick, who wouldgo on to star at Xavier andplay in the NBA and ABA.

“That had quite an im-pact,” Arnzen said aboutthe affect of the 1964 tour-nament loss on the nextseason. “You realize howquick it can be over. Thatwas a shock to all of us.We’d had a pretty goodyear.”

Arnzen’s classmate,Jed O’Connell, remem-bers that St. Xavier lost onFeb. 29.

“I remember tellingsomebody that we won’thave a game like this nextyear, because there won’tbe a Feb. 29,” he said.

The 6-1 O’Connellmoved into the next sea-son’s starting lineup as aguard, along with 6-4 sen-ior center Rusty Martinand 6-2 senior guard Joe

Speier. Unlike Arnzen andSadelfeld, they had to waittheir turns in coach DickBerning’s senior-orientedapproach.

“Players like Arnzenand Sadelfeld were ex-ceptional athletes,”O’Connell said. “I thinkthey started as sopho-mores.”

Berning had installedan offense known as the“Auburn Shuffle,” a varia-tion of another shuffle of-fense that focused on thecenter playing a high postand setting screens at thefree-throw line elbows forcutters. O’Connell sus-pects Berning’s searchfor the right players to ex-ecute the offense played arole in St. Xavier losing atDayton Chaminade, 62-52,in the third game of theseason and at Elder, 44-43,in Game Four.

“Eventually, we got ittogether,” O’Connell said.“We seemed to be gettingbetter and jelling togeth-er.”

Some of the playersstill might’ve been adjust-ing from football to bas-ketball, said Arnzen, anend on Tom Ballaban’sfootball team.

“I remember DickBerning let us have it,”Arnzen said. “He said,‘You’re not doing whatyou should be doing. Ifyou don’t want to play, I’llfind some other kids whowant to play.’ He got on ushard, but I think we de-served it. We weren’tplaying as hard as we didlater. I think it fired usup.”

Whatever the reason,the Bombers embarkedon the roll of rolls. Start-ing with an 82-62 win overWoodward, St. Xavierwon 22 straight games byan average margin of 15.8points. Their closestgames were five-pointwins over a La Salle teamled by record-settingscorer Dick Haucke – anAssociated Press ClassAA first-team all-statepick – and Urbana in theregional finals.

St. Xavier went 11-1 inthe GCL, including a re-demptive 52-42 win overElder.

O’Connell, an attorneywho grew up in HydePark, remembers St. Xa-vier being uncommonlylucky when it came to in-juries.

“That was another im-portant factor,” he said.“There was nothing thatkept anybody out of agame – maybe a couple ofturned ankles.”

St. Xavier went into thetournament as the second

seed behind Withrow androlled to a district cham-pionship, clinching with a68-35 win over Andersonin which Arnzen scored 28points and grabbed 17 re-bounds. That set up a re-match with 21-2 Chami-nade in the region semifi-nals at Cincinnati Gar-dens. Arnzen scored 21points and led the Bomb-ers to a whopping 48-26rebounding advantagewith 19 in a 60-47 win overthe team that would winthe next season’s statechampionship.

“We were kind of readyfor them,” Arnzen said.“We had revenge on ourminds.”

“I know we lost to themearlier, but we felt like wewere the better team,”O’Connell added.

That set up a regionalfinal battle at the Gardenswith the 23-0 Urbana Hill-climbers, ranked secondin the state by the AP andfirst by United Press In-ternational. Again, St. Xa-vier dominated the re-bounding – with Arnzenbeing credited with 25 inone newspaper story and19 in another – while Mar-tin led four Bombers indouble figures with 21points in an 83-78 win.

“That was a shootout,”Arnzen said. “I thoughtthey had the best team ofany we played in the tour-nament.”

St. Xavier became thefirst county team to reachthe state semifinals sinceHughes in 1955, whenthey were played at Cin-cinnati Gardens. TheBombers were due tomeet another undefeatedteam, 25-0 Lima Shawnee,in the last of four gameson March 26 at Ohio StateUniversity’s St. John Are-na.

Not only was St. Xaviertrying to become the firstHamilton County team tocapture a big-school title,

the Bombers also had achance to become the firstCatholic school from any-where in the state to ac-complish the feat.

“I don’t remembermuch talk about theCatholic-school thing,”O’Connell said. “I remem-ber the papers talkingabout the last team toreach the semifinals wasHughes, but I don’t thinkwe went in with any moti-vation to win because ofit.”

The Indians, led by 6-5AP Player of the Year JeffMiller, had outscored op-ponents by an average of25 points.

St. Xavier was respect-ful, but not cowed. Arnzenscored 22 points with 13rebounds while limitingMiller to a season-low 15,and Martin held 6-8-1/2Denton Sullivan to justfive points as the Bomb-ers pulled away in thefourth quarter for a sur-prisingly easy 71-58 win.

“We beat a very goodteam,” O’Connell said.“We were feeling prettygood after that win.”

Arnzen added, “Afterwe beat Lima Shawnee,we thought that was thestate championship.”

Instead, St. Xavier stillhad to overcome a 22-1Co-lumbus South team led by6-1Bill Bullock, an AP sec-ond-team all-state pick.

For whatever reason –O’Connell suggests thatplaying the last game ofthe previous day and stay-ing overnight in a hotelwhile the Bulldogs got tosleep longer in their ownbeds – the Bombers cameout sluggish and ended upshooting a season-worst38 percent (19-of-50) fromthe field. Still, St. Xavierlimited Bullock to 11points and outreboundedSouth, 31-28, but fell be-hind in the fourth quarter,47-40, before putting to-gether an 8-0 run to take a

48-47 lead with 3:20 to go.South regained a 50-49

lead before Sadelfeld,who was named to thetournament’s all-star firstteam, fouled out with 1:48to go.

“That hurt us,” saidArnzen, who watchedSouth open up a 54-51 leadbefore he drove for a lay-up as time expired.South’s Mel Thompson in-explicably tried to blockthe shot, risking a foulthat would have sent Arn-zen to the line for the po-tential game-tying freethrow, but the officials’whistles remained silent.

“I got hit,” Arnzen, whofinished with 18 pointsand 12 rebounds on hisway to being named thetournament’s outstandingplayer in a poll of report-ers, told reporters afterthe game. “I know that.”

“It was close, but Ididn’t hit him,” Thompsonsaid.

“To me, it was close,”said O’Connell, an all-tour-nament second-teampick. “They easily couldhave called it. I alwayswondered why he went upto contest it. There wascertainly body contact.”

The late Ballaban, whoalso was a Big Ten basket-ball official, reportedlychased the officials offthe floor, yelling at themthe whole way.

Berning, who died in1995, was left to ponderwhat might have been.

“I guess I’d rather loseby 30 than get beat thisway,” he said after thegame. “These kind makeyou wonder. You alwaysthink of things that couldhave changed the out-come.”

It sounds great – youcan save money onyour utility bill by sign-ing up with one of

manyalterna-tive ener-gy provid-ers nowservingOhio. Ifyou aren’tcareful, itcould endup costingyou moremoney.

It all started with thederegulation of elec-tricity and natural gasin 2001 and, as moreand more supplierscame to the state, thecompetition broughtdown prices.

Some alternativeenergy providers callyou on the phone, oth-ers send you salespitches by mail and yetothers come knockingon your door. But, nomatter which approachthey use you have toknow how your bill iscalculated before youagree to switch.

Ben Frisby of Leba-non says a salespersoncame knocking at hisdoor around 7 o’clockone night.

“First thing she saidwas, ‘The average costof electricity in thisarea is 8 cents per kilo-watt hour.’ I said,‘That’s the cost?’ Shesaid, ‘Yeah, we’re of-fering 7.69 rate.’”

Frisby says she toldhim that rate was fixedfor two years so, hesays, he thought hemay get some savings.

“That might be a

good deal over the nexttwo years if that 8cents happens to goup,” he said.

Frisby checked withhis wife then agreed toswitch.

“I signed off on itand signed up for it.”He says he thought hewas going to save mon-ey and never wouldhave agreed if he hadbeen told it was goingto cost him money.That’s why he says hewas shocked when hegot his next utility bill.

“It was like $150higher for the samekilowatt usage as theprevious month,” Fris-by says. That’s becausethat 8 cent price he wasquoted was for bothDuke’s generation costof 6.04 cents and itsdistribution charge ofabout 1.96 cents perkilowatt hour.

You need to knowyou will still have topay Duke’s distributioncharge no matter

which energy provideryou choose. So youneed to compare theenergy provider’s pricewith Duke’s Price ToCompare found on allutility bills. Rememberthat price for DukeEnergy was 6.04 centsper kilowatt hour.

Frisby says he feltmisled by the salesper-son and protested tothe alternative energycompany officials. As aresult, he says theyagreed to drop a $95early cancellation feethat he was charged forswitching back to DukeEnergy.

To make sure youfully understand anyoffer you receive, toswitch either electricor natural gas provid-ers, it’s best to checkthe Public Utility Com-mission of Ohio’s Ap-ples To Apples website.There you can get anaccurate understand-ing of exactly what youwould get and how

much, if anything, youwould save.

You have to beaware some companieswill offer a very lowrate but it’s only goodfor a month or two andthen it becomes a vari-able rate that could bemuch higher than therate charged by DukeEnergy. If that happens

you will want to cancelso be sure to see if thecompany has an earlycancellation fee—manyof them do have suchfees.

Twenty more pre-schoolers are receiving aquality educationthrough the expandedservices offered in Cin-cinnati Early LearningCenters’ new early child-hood center, adjacent toits existing facility inLower Price Hill.

Demand is high forquality preschool educa-tion in this neighborhood,and CELC respondedwith construction of thenew Robert & AdeleSchiff Early LearningCenter II on StaeblerStreet in Lower PriceHill. The expanded cen-ter opened Nov. 3; a cere-monial ribbon-cuttingand celebration of thecenter’s first fourmonths serving pre-schoolers was heldWednesday, March 4.

The Schiff EarlyLearning Center II,which is adjacent toCELC’s existing Robert &Adele Schiff EarlyLearning Center in theCommunity LearningCenter in Oyler School,allowed CELC to boostthe number of neigh-borhood preschoolersserved from 20 to 40.Registration was brisk;the newly added spotswere filled before thecenter expansion opened.In addition to classroomfacilities, the new centerfeatures a conference/meeting room and kitch-enette for use by commu-

nity partners like OylerSchool and Santa MariaCommunity Services.

City of CincinnatiCouncilman PG Sitten-feld was instrumental incutting through the redtape involved in an urbanproject like this. The newcenter contributes toneighborhood revital-ization by converting acondemned building intoa renovated space thathelps CELC start chil-dren on an importanteducational path.

“The most powerful,long-lasting investmentwe can make is in ourcommunity’s young peo-ple,” Sittenfeld said. “Theexpansion of this earlychildhood learning cen-ter is going to dramat-ically change lives forthe better and drive on-going neighborhood revi-talization.”

CELC’s centers arelocated in diverse urbanneighborhoods such asLower Price Hill becausethe nonprofit believesthat all children, no mat-ter their family’s incomelevel, deserve the oppor-tunity to grow and flour-ish.

“We are extremelygrateful to the Schifffamily for making thisexpansion possible,” saysPatricia Gleason, presi-dent and CEO of CELC.“With our new facility,we are able to servemore children in this

densely populated area,helping the children get agreat start in life.”
