COLLECTION TIME

Some things that come insmall packages have life-sav-ing potential.

Such is the case of the Vialof Life, which was designed asa way to make needed medicalinformation available to emer-gency personnel when they ar-rive at a home. When Bob Wet-terer learned about the vial, heknew it was destined to be hisnext big project.

He and fellow Comey &Shepherd realtor Mark Bur-gess are working to provide asmany vials as possible to resi-dents in the Anderson Town-ship and Mount Washingtonareas.

“If this program can helpone person, it’s worth it,” Wet-terer said.

The kits Wetterer and Bur-gess are providing include aplastic tube with a lid.

There’s a medical informa-tion card which should be com-pleted, rolled up, inserted intothe vial and placed in the re-frigerator. And there’s a mag-net to place on the refrigeratoralerting medical workers tothe vial.

The refrigerator is used be-cause it’s an appliance that’s inmost homes and should be easi-ly accessible to emergencypersonnel, Wetterer said.

Anderson Fire and RescueChief Mark Ober noted that thevial has been around for atleast 20 years.

Similar devices are on themarket today. The key to thevial and other similar devices

is keeping the information cur-rent, he cautioned.

Burgess said he thinks thevial provides a much neededservice to a growing market ofaging baby boomers.

“Considering my own fam-ily, I think it fills a need,” hesaid.

Vial of Life kits can bepicked up at several locationsincluding: the Mercy Health-Plex Cardio Rehab Center, theAnderson Area Chamber ofCommerce, and AndersonTownship Senior Center. InMount Washington, residentscan call Good Guys Loitering,304-3881, and a volunteer willdrop the kit off at your home.Wetterer and Burgess will alsodeliver Vial of Life kits tohomes.

Miss Idaho 2014, Sierra Sandison, con-tinues to inspire and fuel the hopes anddreams of young girls as she openly

shares her experiences of living with Type 1dia-betes.

Sandison made headlines a year ago whenshe rocked the Miss Idaho swimsuit competitionsporting a two-piece and her insulin pump. The#showmeyourpump hashtag went viral. She wasin Cincinnati for a Juvenile Diabetes ResearchFoundation (JDRF) conference and took time totalk to the Anderson Township group Taking onType 1 Together.

Group founder and parent of a child withType 1 diabetes, Tracy Huebner, arranged forSandison’s Anderson engagement. Typically thegroup’s monthly meetings include 12 to 15 par-ents. About 60 parents and children came out tomeet and hear Sandison.

“It was a great meeting,” Huebner said. Shetalked about how she was once embarrassed toshow her pump. A lot of the children, especiallytweens and teens, are very self-conscious aboutwearing a device. Some, like Miss Idaho, wear asecond device as well, a continuous glucosemonitor.

“For her to talk about it and show herselfwearing it and telling her story, I think it’s reallyinspiring,” Huebner said. Most of the youngpeople in attendance were girls. There were acouple of boys. The younger kids thought ofMiss Idaho as a princess because of her crown,which she allowed them to wear.

Sandison told her audience that they need tolove themselves. She explained that a lot of peo-ple hate diabetes, but it should be embraced be-cause it’s making those who have it stronger,Huebner said.

nosed, Huebner said thatshe had a feeling some-thing was wrong. Herdaughter’s behavior waschanging.

“Finally, before Christ-mas 2010, she was so thir-sty that she was actuallysneaking bottles of waterto the closet,” she said.Huebner was somewhatfamiliar with diabetes be-cause her older sister, Ta-ra, was diagnosed withType 1 at age 18.

A doctor’s appointmentin January 2011 con-firmed Huebner’s suspi-cions. They were immedi-ately sent to Children’sHospital.

They stayed at the hos-pital several days as staffworked to regulate Alex-is’ sugar levels and to edu-cate the Huebners on lifewith Type 1 diabetes.

“For the first year, Ja-son (her husband) and Iwere kind of in our own

little bubble, just livingand dealing with it,” sherecalled. “It was so over-whelming and such agame changer for us. Wedidn’t reach out to JDRFor any other groups im-mediately.”

Also around that time,the Huebners learnedthat they were expectingtheir third child.

After about one year,they did reach out to theSouthwest Ohio Chapterof JDRF. Jason Huebnerjoined the board of direc-tors and both joined vari-ous JDRF committees andgroups. The only thinglacking was a supportgroup - a problem TracyHuebner soon resolved.

With the help of thenForest Hills School Dis-trict parent liaison TinaBrophy and parent Ste-phanie Emrick, she found-ed Taking on Type 1 To-gether as a support groupfor the parents of childrenwith Type 1 diabetes. Thefirst support group meet-ing was in February 2013.

The group meets

monthly. Huebner saidshe tries to have guestspeakers at each meeting.

Southwest Ohio chap-ter JDRF outreach coor-dinator Jen Loving saidthat support groups suchas Huebners are invalu-able. Two of Loving’sthree children have Type 1diabetes. Her now 14-year-old was diagnosed in2005. At that time findinga support group was diffi-cult. Loving grew up inAnderson, lives in Bataviabut ended up traveling toWest Chester Townshipfor a support group.

“I can’t tell you howmuch it helped to be in aroom with people who justgot it,” she said.

Group meetings areopen to any parent of achild with Type 1diabetes.Meetings are at 7 p.m. thesecond Wednesday of ev-ery month at 1080 Nimitz-view Drive, fourth floorconference room.

Flood waters have re-ceded for the Ohio River,Little Miami River, smallstreams and creeks, butmany area roads and busi-nesses closed and some

people were displacedfrom their homes.

Clermont County offi-cials advised residents toavoid recreational activ-ities on or around the OhioRiver and swollen tributar-ies until flood waters re-cede.

The flooding situationin Pierce Township wassignificant enough for thePierce Board of Trusteesto approve a declaration ofemergency March 15. In arelease, Administrator

Tim Hershner said thatbased on costs of deploy-ing services and continu-ing efforts to finalize floodefforts, the proclamationwas made. By declaring anemergency, the townshipcould secure funds to re-cover the township’s ex-penses.

As of March 16, Ander-son Fire and Rescue hadresponded to just two floodrelated calls – both for peo-ple driving in water, ChiefMark Ober said.

The chief said thatsome businesses and resi-dents in Anderson Town-ship closed and evacuated.Along the Ohio these in-cluded: St. Joseph Or-phange Altercrest Cam-pus on Sutton Road; Belter-ra Park Gaming and Enter-tainment Center, ConeyIsland, and Cargill Inc onKellogg Avenue. Along theLittle Miami this includes:the Old Fort area. All busi-nesses or residents in theareas took appropriate ac-

tion in plenty of time, Obersaid.

Access was the most se-rious problem in someareas.

“But there are no struc-tures damaged or thathave been reported to us,or no calls for services,”Ober said. “I’ve heardfrom the Red Cross andthe EMA (EmergencyManagement Agency) act-ing director. They’ve re-ceived no requests fromAnderson.”

Flood waters receding, road closures remainSheila Vilvenssvilvens@communitypress.com

Sticks and stones maynot only break your bones,they may — at least brief-ly - slow negotiations overa proposal to add sportsamenities at Short Park inNewtown.

Talks between repre-sentatives of Newtown,which owns the park, andMiami Valley ChristianAcademy, which wants topay to add the amenities,are continuing despite thefact that officials hadhoped to wrap up negotia-tions by the end of 2014.

“We are investigatingthe past history of thepark (because) apparent-ly in the 1960s and 1970s,part of the park was usedas an unofficial dump forbrush, stumps and otherlandscape debris,” New-town Village CouncilmanJoe Harten said.

“Before moving for-

ward, both parties want tobe sure that the ground isstable and appropriate tobuild upon.”

Fellow councilmanMark Kobasuk said law-yers for both parties are“just working out somecontract terms in thejoint-venture agreement”for the sports amenities atShort Park.

“The holidays delayedthings and there was nosecond council meeting inDecember,” Kobasuksaid.

Last November, a ma-jority of Newtown voterssaid in an advisory ballot-ing that they support aproposal to allow Miami

Valley Christian Acad-emy to build and pay foran athletic field withbleachers, a track and abaseball field in ShortPark that would be open tothe community when notin use by the school.

Harten said lawyersfor the village and the Mi-ami Valley ChristianAcademy have ex-changed one round ofdraft agreements.

Protecting Newtownfrom liability is one of theissues.

Under discussion is a25-year joint-ventureagreement that includes

an option for a second 25-year term for sports ame-nities at Short Park.

It is not a lease. Miami Valley Christian

Academy at 6830 SchoolSt. in Newtown has beenusing Short Park, at 3623Church St. in the village,for five years.

Academy officialswant to build and usemore sports amenities inthe park in hopes of boost-ing enrollment.

East Side residents canhelp prevent heroin salesin their community.

Cincinnati Police,though, are asking formore than just a phone callindicating a drug sale maybe in progress.

“If you see a deal going

on, call 911(and pro-vide) a de-scription,”Capt. JeffButler withDistrictTwo said.

Butler,who spoke at both theHyde Park NeighborhoodCouncil and Oakley Com-

munity Council meetings,said residents should try toprovide as much informa-tion as they can when call-ing the police. Butler saidjust calling the police witha location, while useful, isno substitute for detailssuch as a the make andmodel of a car or a licenseplate number.

“You will see cars lined

up,” he said regardingidentifying what is poten-tially a drug sale.

Butler said many ofthese sales are set up in ad-vance via cell phone andthat a dealer can be in andout within 15 minutes.

Several unfamiliar carsparked at a specific loca-tion may indicate a poten-tial transaction.

Butler said a lot of the

heroin sales are conductedat night and will frequent-ly involve people from out-side of the community.

Some area streets thathave been the site of drugsales in the last fewmonths include HydePark, Mooney and Burchavenues.

“We look at patterns onthe street,” Butler said,cautioning that while an of-

ficer may not be seen im-mediately following a call,the information that is re-layed is compiled and as-sessed.

“We have been success-ful putting people in jail(related to these crimes),”he said in regard to howcertain patterns can helpin tracking down a sus-pect.

In addition to drug ac-tivity, District Two officeAl Brown said theft fromautos remains the “No. 1crime in District Two.”

Butler said that whilecrime in the area is at aseven-year low, various in-cidents will likely spike inMarch. He said Marchtypically sees an increasein crime-related activity.

Brown said people canhelp police in the recoveryof stolen items, especiallyelectronics, by taking pic-tures of the items and re-cording their serial num-bers.

This can eventuallyhelp in identifying theitems, especially if theyare taken to a pawn shop.

Residents can help in tracking down heroin dealersForrest Sellersfsellers@communitypress.com

Hyde Park Avenue has been identified as a street where drug sales have occurred in recentmonths. Police say providing specific information such as a description of the suspect or alicense plate number can help in tracking down suspects.

COLLEGE CORNER

Live Oaks

» As a petite, young womanwho has real-life experienceand education in a male-dom-inated vocation, Maddy Hor-ton may have some “small”advantages in her intendedcareer.

The soft-spoken 18-year-oldsenior from Anderson Town-ship is the only girl among 30enrolled in the two-year heat-ing, ventilation and air-condi-tioning program at the LiveOaks Career DevelopmentCampus.

HVAC instructor BradO’Donnell says Horton’s di-minutive stature will give heran edge over some of hermale peers because “she hassmall hands and can get intotight spaces.” But he says themore important advantageHorton will have on many ofher cohorts male or female isthat she is very good at herchosen vocation.

“She is one of the bestbrazers I have and a verygood student,” said O’Donnell,who is in his second-year asan instructor after spending21 years in the HVAC field.Brazing is a process similar towelding in which a lower-heatflame is used to coat metalwith a film of protectivebrass.

Another positive trait Hor-ton has, according to O’Don-nell, is that she “is very clean”– knowing the importance ofcreating and maintaining aspotless work environment.

When she graduates inMay from Live Oaks’ accred-ited program, Horton will beconsidered an HVAC commer-cial and residential repairtechnician, qualified to buildductwork, troubleshoot andrepair gas, oil, and electric

furnaces; hydronic boilers,and air conditioners and heatpumps.

Horton is certified in aeriallift equipment through Bob-cat as well as CPR/First Aidas part of her curriculum. Shewill be able to take the Envi-ronmental Protection AgencyRefrigerant Recovery Certifi-cation exam and is a couple ofhours away from getting herOSHA 10 card with the rest ofher classmates.

The Occupational Safetyand Health Administration10-hour online ConstructionIndustry Outreach Trainingprogram provides entry-levelworkers with critical knowl-edge about a variety ofOSHA-regulated safety andhealth topics to ensure on-sitesafety.

Upon graduation, Hortonwill also likely have some-thing many soon-to-be collegegraduates will not have – afulltime job.

The U.S. Bureau of LaborStatistics reported that em-ployment for heating, airconditioning and refrigera-tion mechanics and installerswould increase 34 percentfrom 2010-2020, much fasterthan the average for all occu-pations. Job prospects for thefield are expected to be excel-lent, particularly for thosewho have completed trainingfrom an accredited technicalschool such as Live Oaks.

O’Donnell says the indus-try tends to thrive no matterthe overall economy and moststudents can expect to start inentry-level jobs at between$10 and $14 an hour. Ohio’smedian hourly wage for theindustry was more than $21 in2010, with growing opportuni-ties in management, inspec-tion and green energy.

Horton, who also plans tojoin the National Guard, isinterviewing with a downtownCincinnati sheet metal compa-ny because she enjoys build-ing ductwork in homes. Shecan also probably find tem-porary or part-time work withher stepfather, who is an elec-trician, or her grandfather,who took her on plumbingjobs when he baby-sat her asa pre-teen and planted thosecareer seeds.

“A lot of my family weredoing this kind of workaround me and liked it grow-ing up,” Horton says. Shestarted in the Live Oaks’welding program, whichmight explain her skill levelin brazing, but thought aHVAC career offered thechance to learn a bit morediverse skills.

She has not been intimidat-ed as the only girl in theHVAC program.

“They treat me like them,”says Horton and she is OKwith being one of the guys.She gets plenty of female-bonding in her other LiveOaks’ classes—which includeEnglish, government andadvanced algebra.

Although she knows shewill have to apprentice asworker bee for several years,she envisions owning her owncompany someday.

Students in the HVAC pro-grams at Great Oaks can alsoearn college credits for anumber of Ohio technicalschools and can eventuallypursue advanced degrees infields such as engineering, anoption Horton is also consid-ering.

Live Oaks’ also offers anadult HVAC program inwhich only one woman isenrolled.

MARCH 25, 2015 • FOREST HILLS JOURNAL • A7NEWS

I know I “jumped the gun” when Icleared out the end of the garden nearthe elderberries and mulch pile tocreate a space for my cold frame.

Well, it wasn’t entirely my fault.The weather was sunny and over 60degrees and I was just itching to startplanting.

We lugged the railroad ties over tomake a rectangle, filled it with loamysoil and mulch and sowed rows ofearly veggies and greens: radishes,lettuces, beets and carrots.

I put a clear plastic shield over it to keepin warmth and I could just see in my mind’seye a few weeks down the road, pickinggreens and pulling radishes.

Of course, Mother Nature had thelast laugh when the temperaturedipped below freezing the next fewnights. But I’m undeterred.

I’m still thinking about a bountifulspring harvest, but not in a fewweeks.

Meanwhile, we have Passover andEaster to think about, so here’s twogood recipes for both.

al and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com. Email her at columns@communitypress.com with“Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line. Call 513-248-7130,ext. 356.

Brisket, ham for Passover, EasterMy best Passover brisket

The ingredients here are commonly used for preparing brisket. Thetechnique is what’s important. Brisket needs long, slow cooking to becometender when you roast it in the oven or on top of the stove. Brisket some-times comes in large quantities. I had the butcher at Jungle Jims cut a largeone in half for me as the eight-pound roast in the meat department was justtoo big. So don’t be shy about asking if the roast you see is too big. Wonder-ful for Passover or if you want a tummy-filling, good tasting, easy roast

1 brisket, trimmed of fat - mine was 3 pounds1 bottle, 12 oz. chili sauce1 pouch dry onion soup mix1 can regular Coke, 12 oz.

Preheat oven to 350. Place brisket in oven proof pot with lid. Mixsauce, soup and coke together and pour over brisket. Roast, covered, for 1hour, then turn temperature down to 250 and roast, covered, for 4-5 hours.Four hours will give a tender roast which slices easily. Five hours will giveyou a meltingly tender, fall apart roast and to me, this is the best one so ifyou can spare 5 hours, do it.

You can skim fat off top and slice meat and serve with gravy rightaway or cool to room temperature in the pan and put the whole thing inthe frig several hours or overnight. The fat will congeal to the top and youcan lift it off. Reheat roast with the gravy. You can slice it against the grainso it won’t be stringy before reheating or reheat it unsliced and slice itafterwards.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenFor a 5- to 8-pound roast, double the gravy ingredients.

Homemade spiced honey glaze for spiral ham

Sean T., a Cleves reader, shares this recipe. He found it in a food maga-zine and tested it out ahead of time for Easter. “I like the spiral ham butwanted to make a simple, not too spicy, homemade glaze for it and I likethis one”, he told me. This is enough for an 8- to 10-pound ham.

Boil at a gentle boil together for about 5 minutes:

3 cups honey1 tablespoon cinnamon1 tablespoon whole cloves3 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven to 325. Place ham on baking sheet and brush half thehoney mixture over and in between slices. Do this often with rest of mixtureuntil ham is crisp around the edges and reaches an internal temperature of120. This takes about an hour or so, Sean said.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: A citrus touchHow about stirring in a cup or so of orange marmalade to the honey

mixture? Sounds good to me, so let me know if you do this and how youlike it.

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

When preparing a good brisket, the technique is what’s important. Brisket needs long, slow cooking to becometender.

A publication of

In this smorgasbord society,each of us is bombarded by somany competing messagesselling “that which will trulysatisfy.”

Whether in educating andraising children, voting inelections, finding a church,reading a book, selecting acareer, spending money, com-mitting to a life partner, spend-ing hours on a hobby or in-terest, how does one everchoose?

Fortunately, we each have“inside” resources – feelings,beliefs, and reasoning – that,when used together in makingdecisions reflect who we are:

» Feelings:(accompaniedby body sensa-tions) “I feelhappy – wow,great.” or “Ifeel anxious –hate it.”

» Beliefs: “Ibelieve it—thisis good.” or “Iam doubtful –this is bad” Or“This is some-

thing I should (shouldn’t) do.”» Reasoning: “This makes

sense (it works) – this must bethe way to go” or “I’m not surethis will bring the outcome I

want. I need to investigatemore.”

In making decisions, havinga conversation with self is agood first step. For example, ifyou want to donate to a charita-ble organization, your beliefsmay say, “This is a good cause,I should do this – my faithteaches this.” Your feelingsmay excitedly join in to ex-claim, “Yes. Do so immediately– I’d love to help.”

But your reasoning maycaution, “Slow down – actingquickly might be a problem.What do I know about thiscause? Is it a legitimate organi-zation? Do I have the ability

and budget to give at this time?Long term, should this takepriority over other projects Iwish to support?”

Our challenge is to take thetime to listen to what we al-ready know, do a little moreinvestigating and reflecting,and then make a decision if theanswers “line up.”

A failure to consider feel-ings, beliefs, and reasoningtogether as a “team” may driveyou to habitual, rigid decision-making that leaves few realchoices in the present.

Life can feel stagnate, rest-less, and disintegrated, likeyou’re “boxed in” with no place

to go.Do you know people who

LISTEN TO WHAT YOU REALLY KNOW

Susan L.KleineCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Selling a home is as muchabout showmanship as any-thing. When you or your par-ents need to make a transitioninto assisted living, Cincinnatiresidents can do things tospruce up the house and makeit a more attractive option forhome shoppers. Here are threeeasy ways to help you achievea faster sell.

Make an effort to stageStaging is a little like cre-

ating the scenery for a play.You set the house up in a waythat tells a story that is in-spiring enough to hook anyonewho sees it. When buyers walkinto a room, they should in-stantly feel a connection to it.

» Start by decluttering roomby room. You want anyonetouring the house to see a tidyliving environment. Too manyknickknacks just look messy.

» Cut the amount of furni-ture in half and create seatinggroups. Float the furnitureaway from the walls, too.

After you’ve pared to justthe essentials, consider buyinga few accents to refresh thespace – earth tone throw pil-lows, neutral patterns for bed-ding and soft, warm colors forcurtains.

Use clever wallarrangements

Break up the wall spacewith some clever art arrange-ments. Avoid the traditionalgrouping of pictures that encir-cle the room all on one level.Instead, vary the art sporad-ically around the space. Youcan even group pieces togetherthat share a common threadsuch as a distinctive color. Becreative in the placements.

Properly placed art cankeep a buyer from focusing toomuch on weaker selling pointsin the home like an out of datebath or small rooms.

Keep the art modern, aswell. Look for geometrics andfabrics that brighten up thewalls. Modernizing the artshould include picking pieceswith a designer color palette.Swap out old school blues withan enticing lime green orbright, sunny yellow. This stepcan be especially critical if you

are preparing a home for anolder adult transitioning intoassisted living.

Don’t neglect theexterior of the house

Real estate professionalshave a term they use whenstaging a property: The term is“curb appeal.”

Curb appeal means makingthe front entrance and yardpop. It’s the first thing a buyersees when pulling up to takethe tour. A messy yard isenough to push them awaybefore they even get throughthe front door, but a little curbappeal helps draw them in tosee more of the house.

You’ll probably want a pro-fessional to landscape the yardand to manicure the lawn andflower beds. There are a fewother curb appeal projects thatyou can take on yourself:

» Line the walkway withinexpensive and easily in-stalled solar lights to add flairfor evening tours.

» Replace the mailbox andhouse numbers with somethingmodern and cheery looking.

» Add a planter or flowerboxes to the front of the houseand fill them with easy tomaintain plants.

» Paint the trim in a colorthat stands out. A white exteri-or, for example, would lookbetter with dark trim.

These little touches matter:from picking the right paintcolors (neutrals are best whenshowing a house) to makingsure the house is filled with thearoma of homemade cookiesfor the prospective buyers.

Getting a fast sale is allabout the image you createduring a showing.

If you create a scene thatresonates with potential buy-ers, you’re much more likely toscore a sale.

March 18 questionWhat are your predictions

for March Madness - the NCAATournament? In how manybracket pools will you partici-pate?

“My prediction is thatKentucky is going to win itall. Bench depth is so impor-tant in the tournament sinceyou never know when you’llhave one of the starters getinto foul trouble.

“With Kentucky thatdoesn’t matter since theirbench players are probablyjust a slight percentage dro-poff in ability from the start-ers. No other team in thetournament has such talentand depth that can come offthe bench and not have theteam miss a beat.

“I’ll probably enter twobrackets, one a friend ofmine is running and anotherfrom work. It won’t reallymatter since by Thursdaylate PM, I will already havelines drawn through my se-lections, on my way to anoth-er disappointing failure atbracket perfection.”

C.S.

“Zero.”D.H.

“I’m just sad that the BlueJackets won’t be facing offagainst Ottawa this year.Never heard the Stanley Cupcalled March Madness.Where did that term orig-inate?”

D.B.

“My prediction for MarchMadness is Michigan Statefor the whole enchilada.However, since they failed tomake the bracket, I maypossibly need to reconsider.UK is the presumptive starand I can support them. I amonly in one pool at work andthat is aimed at giving mostof the proceeds to charity.The one thing March Mad-ness always stirs up for meis the question that if NCAAbasketball can do an all-in-

clusive tournament leadingto a true and real nationalchampion, why can’t they dothe same thing for NCAAfootball?”

M.J.F.

“I’m a big Xavier Univer-sity fan, but am realistic toknow that their chances arenot very good in winning anational title, however myNo. 2 team, the University ofWisconsin Badgers, have alegitimate chance of cuttingdown the nets after the finalgame.

“Everyone is picking theUniversity of KentuckyWildcats and for good rea-son, however, UW gave thema run for their money in lastyear’s semifinals and I thinkwith an extra year behindthem and the way the stylethey play, they could knockoff the mighty Wildcats.

“In summary, maybe myheart is giving way to com-mon logic, but I’m going tostick to my prediction andhopefully Bo Ryan will final-ly get that elusive firstNCAA Division I basketballtitle!

“Go X!!!!!! and on Wiscon-sin!!!!!!”

Last season, the AndersonRedskins shared the EasternCincinnati Conference titlewith Milford. Even though theywere tied atop conference, headcoach Andy Ey said they werelooking to improve upon lastseason.

One of the few ways to dothat would be to win the ECC ti-tle outright.

The Redskins have a stock ofreturning players from lastyear including pitcher DylanSmith, shortstop Justin Hop-kins, Dustin Parsons, RyanMcLelland and Connor Wheel-don.

Ey likes the way his defenseis set up the middle includingWheeldon.

“He’s going to catch for usthis season for the first time,”Ey said. “But, he played the po-sition over the summer so itshouldn’t be much of a prob-lem.”

The coach also added that helikes the pitching depth.

McNicholas returns sixstarters from last year’s Great-er Catholic League Coed Cen-tral Division runner-up includ-ing seniors Jordan Whitmore,William Kling and Logan Ja-cobs.

Whitmore was all-city andGCL in 2014 and is a returningstarting outfielder and lead-offhitter. Kling was all-GCL in 2014and is a returning starting in-fielder and starting pitcher.

Jacobs is the team’s startingfirst baseman.

“I like the experience that wehave returning and the depth ofour starting pitching,” McNi-cholas head coach John Christ-mann said. “We have six return-ing starters and two more guysthat got significant playing timelast year.”

The Rockets return SamBrowning, the team’s No. 1pitcher.

“We have a very good topfour pitching rotation and sev-eral others that will anchor avery strong bullpen,” the coachsaid.

McNicholas opens the sea-son against Indian Hill March

28. Turpin is looking to improve

upon its 7-16 overall record and2-10 finish in the ECC and will doso under the direction of newhead coach Drew Schmidt.

According to his biographyon Turpin’s athletic website,Schmidt played for McNicholasand Xavier University.

As a high school senior, hewas named Co-Player of theYear in the North Division of theGCL. At Xavier, he ranked in thetop 10 of six individual catego-ries including career gamesplayed, at-bats, hits, walks, hitby pitch and runs scored.

“We have a team that hassome players that are experi-enced and other that are not asexpereinced at the varsity lev-el,” Schmidt said. “We have ahandful of underclassmen thatwill be called upon to play big-ger roles early in the season.”

At his disposal, he will sen-iors Devon Malagari, ZachHeming, Patrick Fetch, JackMuscatello and Steven Jankow-ski.

Catcher Heming was theonly Spartan selected to theECC first-team roster. Malagaribatted.295 last season.

Schmidt said he usally likesto give some control of the de-fense to his catcher and short-stop and likes what he has seenfrom Heming and Fetch.

“Our six senior play-ers are providing goodleadership,” Parker said.“We also have a goodgroup of underclassmen.We have good team speedon the bases.”

The Walnut Hills Ea-gles hope to take advan-tage of some youthful ex-perience gained a yearago to improve their posi-tion in the Eastern Cin-cinnati Conference.Coach Dan Finley’s Ea-gles were sixth at 3-9 inthe league and 8-15 over-all.

Leading the way forWalnut Hills are seniorsCole Murphy, Reid Fin-

ley, Josh Breadon and Ty-ler Bick, plus junior Bob-by Brokamp.

Murphy is a four-yearstarter for the Eagles andhas already committed tothe University of Cincin-nati. Murphy hit .439 asjunior, while Brokampled the team in at-batsand hits and had a .347 av-erage as a sophomore.

“Cole Murphy may bethe best player in thecity,” Finley said.

Bick is the top return-ing pitcher with a 2-2 rec-ord and a 1.52 ERA.

“We return a lot ofplayers who played sig-nificant innings lastyear,” Finley said. “Wehave more experiencedpitching returning thanany year I’ve been at Wal-nut.”

McNicholas High School alumni Katey Schroeder '06 andMichael Oberschmidt '08 were inducted into to theMcNicholas Hall of Fame Feb. 26.

While seeking the fifthconsecutive winning sea-son, McNicholas headsoftball coach TerryDoyle likes the athleti-cism of his ball club.

“This team gives usversatility on defensewith several players hav-ing the capability of play-ing several positions,” thecoach said. “We will havesome power, but alsospeed on offense that al-lows us to play small balland drive in runs.”

The Rockets are look-ing for production fromcatcher Katie St. Charles,center fielder Gabby La-treille, shortstop MadisonWhitmore, Hannah Bruneand Paige Jones.

St. Charles and La-treille were first-teamand second-team all GCLCoed central division se-lections, respectively.

Alessia Accordino isone of a couple pitchersthat Doyle expects to leadthe Rockets in the circle.

“We have two solidsophomore pitchers withdifferent styles to keepthe other teams off bal-ance,” he said.

Like its area rivalMcNick, Turpin is alsolooking for a fifth consec-utive winning season.Last year, the Spartansfinished the season 14-13and 5-7 in the Eastern Cin-cinnati Conference.

The Spartans returnKaitlyn Workman, Mac-kenzie Maddy, Sarah Ya-rocki, Isabelle Helm andMolly Case. Head coachJess Hartley is looking ex-pecting Maddy, a three-year starter and team cap-tain, to have a big year.

“I am expecting her tolead the team offensivelyand defensively,” thecoach said.

Workman played flaw-less defense last year as afreshmen and is makingthe move to center fieldthis season. Hartley saidshe should be a strongerhitter as well.

Yarocki is a pitcher andinfielder, who also hits forpower and will contributeoffensively. Case hit .369during her freshmancampaign while handlingthe hot corner.

“Although we areyoung, we have a solidcore and strong leaders,”the coach said. “We haveone of the hardest work-ing groups of athletes Ihave had at Turpin, andthey also have very highsoftball acumen for this

point in the season.”Anderson head coach

Dick Purtell said thedoesn’t have quite thenumber of girls he wouldlike in the program, but hestill is pleased with theprogress the team hasmade.

He’s hopeful that pro-gress will translate intomore wins for the teamthis year.

The Redskins will beled by their middle of theorder, particularly AbbyBernasco and LindseyCorbitt. Corbitt is a four-year player and is theteam’s captain.

In the circle, the teamwill be led by ColleenDunlap.

Anderson could alsoget production fromfreshmen Jane Arm-strong, Molly Gulden and

Natalie Johns.“All three are versa-

tile, we don’t have to lockthem in at one spot,” Pur-tell said.

The Walnut Hills LadyEagles struggled with an0-12 Eastern CincinnatiConference record andwere 6-22 overall. The up-side for Coach Mark Raveis the return of sevenstarters.

Junior shortstop/pitch-

er Krijn Schwartz batted.600 and 47 hits, including14 doubles, 10 triples andfour home runs. Sopho-more shortstop/pitcherIzzy Leisgang hit at a .372clip and had 29 baseknocks. Catcher/firstbaseman Courtney Mar-tin hit .293, sophomoreHannah Lewandowski hassome speed and freshmanthird baseman ReillySchmidt is slated to hit

clean-up.Schmidt takes over at

the hot corner for AshleeLarkins who graduated asa four-year starter.

“I really think we’regoing to be much im-proved as a team both of-fensively and defensive-ly,” Rave said. “While wedon’t have over-poweringpitching, we have a realshot to make some noise inthe ECC if we can sustaingood defense. KrijnSchwartz will return andteam with freshman Reil-ly Schmidt to provide aformidable RBI combo inthe middle of the lineup.”

Schwartz is 11 hitsfrom 100 for her prep ca-reer.

Anytime you are atfault in a driving accidentyou can expect all insur-ance companies to know.That’s what Jerry, fromRising Sun, Indiana, sayshe’s learned.

He writes,” How canmy insurance companyraise my rates on an acci-dent that was paid by mywife’s insurance in hercar? My rates will not bereduced for three years.(My insurance company)had nothing in the gamewhatsoever, and are prof-iting for no reason.”

Jerry goes on to write,“They go by a CLUE re-

port thatsays I wasthe driverin a paid-accidentclaim. Butstill, it hadnothing todo with(my insur-ance com-pany).”

ThatCLUE report is critical toyour insurance companylearning about the acci-dent.

Anytime you file aliability claim with aninsurance company it is

reported to the Compre-hensive Loss Underwrit-ing Exchange.

Usually, your CLUEscore is assessed whenyour insurance policycomes up for renewal.Any monetary claim youfile with an insurancecompany is reported toCLUE. All your claims aregrouped together so aninsurer can assess yourinsurance behavior pat-terns. So, several autoinsurance claims can, forinstance, lead to higherpremiums for your home-owners insurance.

To avoid increased

insurance rates its best tofile as few claims as pos-sible. Don’t file a claimfor small amounts if theyare only slightly morethan your deductible.Save any insuranceclaims you may file formajor, costly accidents.That will keep your CLUEscore as low as possiblewhich will save you mon-ey on premiums for everytype of insurance policyyou buy.

Any insurance claimyou file will remain in theCLUE database for sevenyears from the date youfiled them. Some insur-

ance companies keeptrack of your calls if youask whether you are cov-ered for a loss – and suchcalls can later be usedagainst you – but suchinformation is not report-ed to CLUE.

Statistics show if youfiled an insurance claimin the past, you’re morelikely to do so in the fu-ture. The amount of theclaim, officials say, is lessimportant than the num-ber of times you file.

Your insurance premi-ums are also determinedby other factors includingyour age, gender, marital

status, occupation, educa-tion level, and creditscore. That credit scoretells companies howmuch debt you carry andwhether or not you payyour bills on time.

The Insurance In-formation Institute saysstudies show how peoplemanage their money is agood indicator of whetherthey will file an insuranceclaim.

Remember, the biggerthe risk you are to theinsurance company, thehigher the premium you’llbe charged—or you mayeven be denied coverage.

I loved our beautiful family home, but there was a lot of stress and expense that went along with it...
