PRICE HILL — Ken Smith, ex-ecutive director of Price HillWill, said he’s never felt morepositive about the direction ofthe neighborhood.
The community develop-ment corporation working to re-vitalize East, West and LowerPrice Hill received a $500,000grant from Wells Fargo at apress conference March 18.
Price Hill Will is using thegrant funding to support itsBuy-Improve-Sell program,which buys homes in the neigh-borhood, rehabilitates them andsells them to owner-occupants.
“This is an amazing opportu-nity,” Smith said. “We’re readyto start tomorrow acquiringhomes.”
The grant is through WellsFargo’s NeighborhoodLIFTprogram, a $5.2 million effortthat launched last fall and isproviding 235 eligible Cincin-nati home buyers with $15,000in down payment assistancegrants. Wells Fargo partneredwith the city, The Home Owner-ship Center of Greater Cincin-nati Inc. and NeighborWorksAmerica to implement the pro-gram.
“We understand the Neigh-borhoodLIFT program is justone small step in helping Cin-cinnati neighborhoods recov-er,” J.R. Huber, area managerwith Wells Fargo Home Mort-gage, said.
“Beyond the 235 new home-owners that will call Cincinnatihome and the $500,000 grant do-nated to Price Hill Will as a re-sult of NeighborhoodLIFT pro-
gram, we hope others will dowhat they can to help make Cin-cinnati neighborhoods strong-er.”
Cincinnati Mayor John Cran-ley said he met Huber at abreakfast they both attendedlast year.
“He came to me afterwardand said my bank wants to giveyour city many millions of dol-lars, including a half a milliondollars of your choosing to helpa particular neighborhood,”Cranley said.
“I thought he was kidding. Isaid, ‘Well, we should probablyget a meeting to talk about thisto see if it’s real.’ Well, it wasreal.”
Exciting revitalization is un-derway in East Price Hill’s In-cline District with the develop-ment of the Warsaw Federal In-cline Theater and the existingPrimavista and Incline PublicHouse restaurants, Cranleysaid. West Price Hill boasts theCovedale Center for the Per-forming Arts and Price HillChili, and he said the middle ofthe neighborhood is anchoredby Elder and Seton high schoolsand the beautiful homes in theCedar Grove community.
“Obviously, Price Hill meansa lot to me. I grew up here. Myparents live here,” he said. “Ifyou look at the architecture, youlook at the beauty. It’s just a phe-nomenal asset-based approachto neighborhoods.”
The neighborhood’s archi-tecture and proximity to down-town is perfect for the growingpopulations of middle-classfamilies who want the urban ex-

it’s the future of Cincin-nati, to be attractive tofamilies as it was whenI was a kid,” Cranleysaid.
“This progress in thePrice Hill neighbor-hood is a terrific exam-ple of the efforts hap-pening in Cincinnatiand being made possi-ble with public-privatecollaboration.
“The work of PriceHill Will, the grant fromWells Fargo and theNeighborhoodLIFTprogram are amongseveral efforts workingtogether to help our citymove forward frompast economic chal-lenges that impactedmany families andneighborhoods,” hesaid.
Huber said WellsFargo is honored andproud to provide agrant to Price Hill Willand support its missionand purpose in the com-munity.
“We both have thesame mission,” he said.“We’re here to providesustainable and afford-
able housing for thecommunities and thepeople who live in thosecommunities.”
Smith said Price HillWill has invested morethan $15 million in therehabilitation of resi-dential buildings in theneighborhood over thepast eight to nine years,$3.5 million of whichhas gone to rehabbing30 homes in the CedarGrove area.
Home ownership hasbeen a challenge formany people in recentyears, but he said it’sstill part of the Ameri-can dream for most peo-ple.
“We know that in-vesting in home owner-ship makes communi-ties more stable, makesthem stronger,” he said.
“We’re thrilled tohave this opportunityfrom Wells Fargo tocontinue to preserveour housing stock inPrice Hill and to reha-bilitate these homes,giving new home own-ers an opportunity tocome join us.
“I’m looking forwardto buying some homesand starting construc-tion,” Smith said.

WESTWOOD — TwoMother of Mercy HighSchool seniors made ittheir mission to put giftsunder the tree for Tristatechildren in need.
As part of their seniorcapstone service project,Katie Koch and ErikaSchmitt collected toys todonate to St. Joseph Or-phanage. The weekendbefore Christmas, the twoloaded up a truck anddropped off 550 items atthe Monfort Heights facil-ity.
“We chose this orphan-age because St. Josephserves 1,300 kids, and thethought of the kids at St.Joseph waking up onChristmas without anygifts to open really both-ered us,” Koch said in apress release.
Collecting toys for St.Joseph has been a long-standing tradition at Mer-cy. However, the studentswho had been integral inorganizing it the last fewyears graduated, and itwas in danger of not hap-pening this year.
Koch and Schmitt
stepped in to fill the void.“Their actions were a
direct reflection of ourfoundress CatherineMcAuley, who devotedher life to identifying andfulfilling the needs of thecommunity that were not
being met,” Mercy’s Ser-vice-Learning Coordina-tor Megan Knapke said.
Koch and Schmitt saidthere was an overwhelm-ing response from Mercystudents, parents, facultyand staff.
The athletic depart-ment donated a portion ofits profits from a sidewalksale in its spirit shop andoffering free admission tospectators at a Decemberbasketball game in returnfor a toy donation.
“We would never haveachieved that amountwithout the help of ourpeers and teachers,”Schmitt said. “The staff atSt. Joseph was unbeliev-ably grateful for the dona-tion that the Mercy com-munity helped us make.”
The senior capstoneproject is a way to encour-age students to get be-yond the walls of Mercyand complete a projectthat meets a genuineneed.
“Other than providinga few suggestions and di-rections, I provided verylittle assistance to them incompleting the project.Erika and Katie reallytook ownership and dem-onstrated strong leader-ship skills. I am extreme-ly proud of both of themand the outcome of theirproject,” Knapke said.

Seton High School» Recent research conducted
by the Dove Campaign for RealBeauty found that 63 percent ofyoung women feel social mediais shaping the way the worlddefines beauty. The companydid a short film, “The SelfieProject,” and a group of stu-dents at Seton High School tooknotice. Inspired by this concept,members of Seton’s StrongHerClub launched their own “SelfieProject” that involved everysingle student at the school.
StrongHer, a club that focus-es on empowerment, innerbeauty, self-worth and confi-dence, took on the planning andexecution of this huge project.
“When we say negative
things about ourselves, thosearound us are paying attentionand soaking up that negativity,”said senior Caroline Klopp,StrongHer events coordinator.“We helped to present a varia-tion of the Selfie Project thispast summer at Seton’s GirlPower camp. I saw how excitedthe younger girls at the campgot complimenting each otherand I knew I had to recreatethis excitement for all of theSeton High School students.”
With about 500 students inthe school, the Selfie Projectwas no easy undertaking.
“Taking pictures, verifyingstudents and names, and triplechecking everything was thehardest part of the whole proc-ess,” Klopp said. “I never wouldhave been able to do it withoutthe help of the other boardmembers. Once I had all of thepictures organized, I began toplan the assembly portion of
Seton’s Selfie Project.” The group held an assembly,
and StrongHer members talkedabout self-confidence, bodyimage and the media.
“With the school watching, Istood in front of a mirror onstage while some StrongHermembers acted as my con-science and listed out loud aseries of flaws and insecuritiesthat I typically think to myselfwhen looking in the mirror,”Klopp said. “I then took themirror throughout the audienceand asked certain people towrite on the mirror what theysee when they look in it. Wethen handed out note cards andhad everyone write their ownlist of what they thought weretheir flaws and insecurities.”
The cards were collectedand then the focus transitionedto body image in the media.
“We played a couple ofshocking Photoshop videos and
discussed some facts aboutbody image and the media,”Klopp said. “We focused on theaverage female versus supermodels. Then we live-streameda video to outside where ourdirector of student life, Ms.Mary Agricola, had a fire goingand we burned everyone’s notecards with all of their flaws andinsecurities.”
The next part of the assem-bly was for reflection.
“I talked about how as thenote cards were being burnedin the fire, all of our insecuri-ties were now symbolicallydrifting up to God, and we allprayed that we would acceptourselves for whom we are.”
Lastly, the Dove Selfie Pro-ject video was played for every-one to view, and then the activ-ity was explained. Every stu-dent’s picture had been hung upon the walls throughout the firstand second floors of the school.
Inspired by the assembly andinner reflection, the studentsfiled out of the auditorium andwent to write compliments onthe pictures.
“I know some girls werenervous to have their pictureshung throughout the school”senior Haley Sponaugle,StrongHer vice president, said.“It was awesome to see theirfears disappear as every girlreceived several hand-writtencompliments and positive mes-sages.”
Senior Erin Gardner,StrongHer secretary, said shecould see and feel all of thepositive energy throughout thehallways. “Seeing the entireschool come together at onetime to write positive notes oneveryone’s ‘selfies’ was in-spiring,” she said. “We got theopportunity to focus on oneanother’s unique, wonderfulqualities.”

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.
Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educa-tor, Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinary profession-
al and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com. Email her at [email protected] 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.

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.

I think everyone in Delhiand beyond has a fond affec-tion and appreciation for theDelhi Skirt Game.
However, not everyoneknows from personal experi-ence how much this group ofamazing individuals and thework that they selflessly do,day after day, year after year,can change the life of a familystruggling with serious med-ical issues. As an extremelyappreciative recipient of theirkindness, my family and Iwould like to give them a hugeshout out.
We reached out to the SkirtGame because we were in needof a handicapped van for our14-year-old son, John Paul, whohad suffered a severe andglobal anoxic brain injury in2002. John Paul cannot walk,
talk, eat, drink or move a mus-cle without our help. He hassevere scoliosis, intractableseizures, cortical blindness, afeeding tube, a tracheal tube,chronic lung disease, and amyriad of other struggles. Wewere at that time unable totransport him anywhere.
The Skirt Game not onlymade a donation to our family,they bought the van for us.They gave us more assistancethan we could have everdreamed possible and gave usa chance to breathe again.
Please come out to Jim andJack’s from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.Sunday, March 29, for a fund-raiser to help support the won-derful work they do. There willbe good food and entertain-ment. Details are on the DelhiSkirt Game website. Thankyou for your support.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Around eight years ago, myhusband and I met Joanne Qual-ters, with her pleasant smile,friendly manner and cheerfuloffer of a ride home after ourattending Mass at St. Teresa of
Avila Church.Over the
years, I havelearned thatJoanne is asurvivor in thebest sense ofthe word.Against manyodds, she hashad a success-ful career, hasacquired manydevotedfriends, and
has regained a loving relation-ship with her adult children.Joanne says what makes her asurvivor is her deep faith inGod, her daily praying of therosary and her daily attendanceat Mass. Joanne has certainlyconvinced me by her word anddeed that, through God, allthings are possible.
What makes her a saint inmy eyes is her unshakable faithin God’s love for her and herlove and compassion for all sheencounters. She prays the rosa-ry for her friends in need ofcomfort and consolation, andshe prays for many people shedoes not even know becauseothers ask her to do so.
She has taken my husbandand me out to lunch just be-cause she loves to give to oth-ers. She has taken me to Seren-ity for a massage just becauseshe wanted to do somethingspecial for me. She visited mewhen I was at West Park recov-ering from a broken leg, andshe brought me the Eucharist ina spirit of reverence, joy andkindness.
Joanne faced some toughtimes as a child and as a youngadult, and she faced them withstrength, dignity and relianceon prayer and God’s goodnessand grace.
Joanne told me recently,“Keeping a positive attitudecomes natural to me, and I amthankful to God for His good-ness to me.”
Now, Joanne and I still spendtime together, but not doing allthe things we used to do. Wetalk on the phone and visit whenshe is able. Joanne is facingperhaps the ultimate challengein her life, and she is facing itwith courage, dignity and anunshakable trust in God’s graceand goodness. She is dying ofcancer, and she has accepted it,adapted her life to its con-straints and is looking forwardto seeing God in her heavenlyhome.
Her strength, courage, andsheer joy in life during thesefinal months are a blessing toall who know her. Joanne isenjoying some of heaven onearth as her friends from St.Teresa Church and otherfriends help her: taking her todoctor’s appointments, cleaningher apartment and shopping forher. Most important, the dailyEucharist, which she believes tobe the sacred Body and Bloodof Christ Jesus, is brought toher by her friend Betty Turner.
The 23rd Psalm is valuedbecause it is profoundly true incelebrating the strength andpower of God’s love that willcarry us through the shadow ofdeath to the full glory of eternallife. Joanne, thanks for being ashining light on my journeyhome.
Joyce Rogers is a resident of Cov-edale.

March 18 questionWhat are your predictions for
March Madness - the NCAATournament? In how manybracket pools will you partici-pate?
“My prediction is that Ken-tucky is going to win it all.Bench depth is so important inthe tournament since you nev-er know when you’ll have oneof the starters get into foultrouble.
“I’ll probably enter twobrackets, one a friend of mineis running and another fromwork. It won’t really mattersince by Thursday late PM, Iwill already have lines drawnthrough my selections, on myway to another disappointingfailure at bracket perfection.”
C.S.
“Zero.”D.H.
“I’m just sad that the BlueJackets won’t be facing offagainst Ottawa this year. Nev-er heard the Stanley Cupcalled March Madness. Wheredid that term originate?”
D.B.
“My prediction for MarchMadness is Michigan State forthe whole enchilada. However,since they failed to make thebracket, I may possibly needto reconsider. UK is the pre-sumptive star and I can sup-port them. I am only in onepool at work and that is aimed
at giving most of the proceedsto charity. If NCAA basketballcan do an all-inclusive tourna-ment leading to a real nationalchampion, why can’t they dothe same thing for NCAA foot-ball?”
M.J.F.
“I’m a big Xavier Univer-sity fan, but am realistic to
know that their chances arenot very good in winning anational title, however my No.2 team, the University of Wis-consin Badgers, have a legiti-mate chance of cutting downthe nets after the final game.
“Everyone is picking theUniversity of Kentucky Wild-cats and for good reason, how-ever, UW gave them a run fortheir money in last year’ssemifinals and I think with anextra year behind them andthe way the style they play,they could knock off themighty Wildcats.
“In summary, maybe myheart is giving way to commonlogic, but I’m going to stick tomy prediction and hopefullyBo Ryan will finally get thatelusive first NCAA Division Ibasketball title! Go X!!!!!! andon Wisconsin!!!!!!”

Cincinnati Bearcats fans cheer on the team at the KFC Yum! Center inLouisville.
Those of us of a certainage, have vivid memories ofDoris Mary Ann Von Kappel-hoff as both a movie star anda very popular singer.
Of course,we knew herbest as DorisDay. BornApril 3, 1924,Doris wasjust 8 whenher fatherwas involvedin a scandal-ous affairthat ended ina difficultdivorce.When she was
12 she broke her leg in a caraccident and faced a lengthyrecuperation period. Herdreams of becoming a dancerwere dashed.
At age 14 she and her mommoved above her Uncle Char-lie’s place, Welz Tavern at3113 Warsaw Ave.
Doris began waiting tablesin the tavern, entertaining thecustomers by singing alongwith the jukebox and withthat, a new dream was born.In “Price Hill Saloons,” LarrySchmolt reminisces aboutDoris waiting on him and hisfriends at the Welz Tavern.Her aunt’s homemade barbe-cue sandwiches cost fifteencents and were the bestaround.
Her first professionalsinging job was on “Carlin’sCarnival” on WLW radio. Shealso sang in a local restau-rant, Charlie Yee’s ShanghaiInn.
According to Julie Hotch-kiss in the West Side Examin-er, Doris was singing withlocal big bands by age 15. As avocalist with Barney Rapp’sBand, she met, fell in lovewith and married Al Jorden,the band trombonist, who alsolived in Price Hill.
When the couple moved toNew York, Doris stoppedsinging and stayed home toraise their son, Terry. Theymoved back to Purcell Ave-nue in Price Hill, but Al’sabusive temper destroyed therelationship and the mar-riage.
It was 1943, Doris was 19,the mother of a baby, andnewly divorced. She rented aplace just across from heruncle’s tavern on Warsaw
Avenue and her mother andbrother moved in to help carefor Terry. Doris got a job as aradio singer at WLW, but soonmade a strategic move toChicago, where her singingcareer really took off.
Her second marriage wasto saxophonist, George Weid-er. By 1948, George’s extremejealousy caused Doris to filefor divorce and plan a moveback to Price Hill. At the lastminute, however, she wasasked to try out for a part in“Romance on the High Seas.”She got that part and went onto make nearly 40 movies inthe 1950s and 1960s.
David Bret in MailOnlinetells of her relationship withthird husband, Marty Mel-cher. Marty adopted Terry,but was abusive to him andseverely controlling of Doris,funneling much of her moneyinto his own accounts.
Upon his death in 1968 shewas deeply in debt and barelyable to function without him.Though she was known forher rosy disposition and her“girl next door” looks, sheseemed to have a knack forchoosing abusive men. Sadly,her life was very differentfrom her public image.
Doris Mary Ann Von Kap-pelhoff never returned toPrice Hill and now lives inCarmel Valley, California.
Diane Clark grew up in Price Hilland lives there now. Her company,Fairy Dust Ltd Inc., is on WarsawAvenue in Price Hill. She is a long-time member of the Price HillHistorical Society.
Doris Day twice lived on WarsawAvenue in Price Hill, but has notreturned to the neighborhood foralmost half a century.

PRICE HILL — The baseballprogram at Elder High Schoollooks seasoned and ready foranother run in hopes of consec-utive titles in the Greater Catho-lic League South after a 19-8season a year ago. But, an earlypostseason exit last year left asour taste in Elder’s mouth. Toremedy that, Elder returns fivestarters and will be led by a sta-ble, experienced group of sen-iors.
At the reins are seniorsShane Smith and Kyle Orloff.Smith, a right-handed pitchersigned with Miami University,was the GCL South Co-Player ofthe Year last season posting a7-1record with a 0.56 ERA whilealso hitting .358. Orloff, a short-stop who’s signed with Indian-apolis, hit .435 last year with 15RBI and was a Division I firstteam All-Enquirer selection.Senior catcher Sam Hauer,first-team All-GCL South lastseason, also returns after hit-ting .342 with a team-high 23RBI. Keep an eye on senior sec-ond baseman Zach Vorherr, sen-ior utility player Sam Coffaro,senior outfielders Nick Dukeand Ryne Poli, along with sen-iors Josh Boeckmann, GregCappel and Jeff Linneman,who’ll help out on the mound.
Elder’s Mark Thompson, re-turning GCL South Coach of theYear entering his 26th season,said this is the deepest team El-der’s had in a long time in termsof position players. The ques-tion will be pitching depth. Out-side of Smith, a bona fide ace,the Panthers will need someother arms to step up in support,likely by committee.
“We’re very experienced,and deep position player wise,”Thompson said. “I like theirbaseball IQ. I think our overallspeed will be pretty good. I don’tthink we’re gonna hit a lot ofhome runs, but we’ll drive theball and run the bases well.”
Although experienced, Elderwill need some of its youngerguys to step into some biggerroles. Thompson said they’reexpecting big things from ju-niors Frankie Hofmeyer andJustin Ward this year.
Elder will open its scheduleat rival Oak Hills March 28.
Oak Hills also has five re-turning starters from a teamthat went 18-13 a year ago. TheHighlanders are looking fortheir 12th straight winning sea-son, and to do that they’ll have totry and replace five productive
seniors that graduated. “(Those five seniors) will be
very big shoes that we will needto fill very quickly,” said OakHills coach Chuck Laumann,now in his 22nd season. “The be-ginning of our schedule is bru-tal and it does not get easier.”
Senior pitcher and thirdbaseman Jonathan Deifel, aKent State signee, leads theHighlanders. Deifel hit .293 as ajunior with 20 RBI, 14 stolenbases and 27 runs scored. Otherreturning starters are seniorsJarred Drewes, Matthew Kron,
Nick Brems and sophomoreAustin Penwell, who posted a1.42 ERA in 19.2 innings as afreshman.
Oak Hills has experienceback on the mound, but the un-known will be scoring runs.
“We have five pitchers backwith experience,” Laumann not-ed in reference to Deifel,Drewes, Penwell, as well asBrett Cox and Michael Hubert.“The uncertainty of our startinglineup and scoring runs is a con-cern but the unknown is also in-triguing. We need to survive the
challenge of the beginning ofour season.”
Laumann added the early on-slaught of tough opponents willhelp the Highlanders get theirfeet wet and garner some big-game experience that will likelyhelp down the road.
Matt Phillips takes the reinsat Western Hills and in his firstseason, the Mustangs shouldpick up where they left off, look-ing for their fourth consecutivewinning season. Last year, WestHigh won the Cincinnati MetroAthletic Conference with a 16-9overall record and 11-1 in theconference.
There were 15 guys on theroster last year and 12 of themreturn so look for a deep, butyoung lineup.
“They are a very young team(only two seniors and one ju-nior),” Phillips noted. “This is ateam that refuses to be out-worked. They have a grit aboutthem that cannot be taught.”
Senior right-handed pitcherChris Reed returns after throw-ing a no-hitter last season andfinishing 4-3 with a 1.34 ERA.Senior Nathan Autenrieb willhelp on the mound and in theoutfield. Last year, Autenrieb
had 25 strikeouts in 24 innings. The Mustangs are looking
for another monster seasonfrom junior middle infielderTommy Steadman; he hit .462with 29 RBI last season. Alsoback will be sophomore utilityfielder and leadoff hitter DavidOffenbecker as well as sopho-more pitcher and outfielderVince McFadden.
The goal this year, Phillipssaid, is to win 20 games, some-thing that hasn’t been done atWest High since the 1986 statechampionship team.
Taylor has a young team, butthe Yellow Jackets are not inex-perienced. Last season, Taylorfinished 13-10 and with just twoseniors. This year, they will de-pend on youth with varsity ex-perience.
“We’re young, having twoseniors it’s a good problem tohave,” said Taylor coach ChrisHannum now in his 18th season.“We have youth with experi-ence, these juniors have played– that’s a plus.”

nior Chris Mutter, who’s the No.1pitcher and left fielder. For Gil-lespie and Mutter, this will betheir third varsity season. Gil-lespie led the team last season inbatting average (.422), hits (27),runs (25), RBI (21) and stolenbases (nine). Mutter hit .322 with14 RBI and had 22 strikeouts in26 innings pitched.
Also back: Josh Wagner, asenior first baseman and pitch-er, and Ethan Murray, a juniorthird baseman. Wagner hit .365with 20 RBI and Murray hit .286with 19 RBI. Hannum also said tokeep an eye on newcomers Jor-dan Mock and Jacob Haussler.
“Obviously, like any team, we
need to get good pitching and de-fense to be successful,” Han-num said.
Taylor’s season begins at Wal-nut Hills at 4:30 p.m. March 28.
There’s a nice mix of youthand experience at La Salle thisseason and the Lancers hopethat talent comes together tospell trouble for opponents.
Seven starters return fromlast year’s 12-13 team that wonjust two conference games inthe Greater Catholic LeagueSouth.
Leading the Lancers this yearwill be seniors Nick Ernst, NigelWilliams, Anthony Bell and EricGreene; all of whom were sec-ond team All-GCL last season.
Ernst, signed with MiamiUniversity, was 2-1 with a 3.00ERA and a team-high 32 strike-outs in 32 innings pitched. Wil-
liams is signed with Lake ErieCollege. Bell led the team in RBI(21) and stolen bases (seven)with a .289 average. Greene hit.320 with 11 RBI. Also keep aneye on junior infielder Tim Ca-sey, who La Salle coach Joe Voe-gele said will be a key defensiveplayer this season.
Voegele said this La Salleteam has the potential to be avery good offensive team and helikes the mix of younger and old-er guys.
La Salle opens its season onthe road at Milford at noonMarch 28.
After a middle-of-the-rowseason a year ago (at 13-13), St.Xavier hopes its six returningstarters and new faces can im-prove upon that record thisbaseball season. Back for theBombers are seniors Spencer
Helwig, Eric Jaun, Nate Win-ning and A.J. Getter as well asjuniors Noah Mehrle and J.P.Bitzenhofer. Getter, a seniorpitcher who threw 37 inningslast year with 20 strikeouts, islikely the staff’s ace, accordingto second-year coach Bob Sher-lock. Senior pitcher John Klarewill be a key reliever; Sherlocksaid he’s the type of guy youwant available to throw everynight if necessary.
Winning, a senior pitcher andfirst baseman, was the team’sthree-hole hitter for much of lastyear where he compiled a .383average with 18 hits in 47 plateappearances. Jaun, who’s mov-ing from shortstop to centerfield, led the Bombers last sea-son in at bats (77) and hits (28)while hitting .364 with 10 RBI.
“They come to play every
day,” Sherlock described histeam. “They’ve had a great off-season; they’re enthusiastic,passionate and really enjoy oneanother as teammates.”
Sherlock said now it’s a mat-ter of gaining experience andproducing in the Greater Catho-lic League South. The questionsarise at the plate for Sherlockand his team.
“We’ve got some guys thatcan swing the bat pretty well,but some of those guys areyounger,” Sherlock said. “We’regonna face some pretty goodcompetition this year, literallyone of the toughest schedules inOhio. Defensively, I think we canplay with anybody. Offensively,it remains to be seen.”
The Bombers open at homewith Badin at noon March 28.

With all nine returning start-ers from a team that went 18-11ayear ago, it’s hard to overlookOak Hills.
The Highlanders, loaded withexperience and talent, are led byfour-year varsity players. Sen-iors Brooke Shad, Bethani Drew,Emily Wolfzorn and Bekah Finnlook to become the first group inschool history to have four con-secutive winning seasons, ac-cording to fifth-year coach Jack-ie Cornelius-Bedel. Shad, the ev-eryday returning starting pitch-er, posted a 3.88 ERA last seasonwith 87 strikeouts and 11 wins.Shad, who’ll also play some sec-ond base, hit .310 and led theteam in RBI (22) last season.
Junior Taylor Wilp also re-turns after having one of themore impressive seasons in thecity last year. Wilp, a first team
All-Enquirer se-lection as a soph-omore, hit .478and led the teamin hits (44), runs(25), doubles(nine) and stolenbases (nine).Wilp had the sec-ond-highest bat-
ting average in the Greater Mi-ami Conference last season.
“We were very young lastyear with one senior who hadjust one year of playing experi-ence,” Cornelius-Bedel said.“We’re coming back with experi-enced seniors and a team willingto work, so they can compete.”
Freshman Sami Reese, a 5-foot-11 pitcher, will help out onthe mound this year.
Oak Hills, ranked No. 11 inThe Enquirer Division I areacoaches’ preseason poll, opensthe season against Taylor March28 at Rapid Run at 11 a.m.
Seton looks poised for anoth-er solid season. The Saints arecoming off a 13-14 year but theyreturn eight starters and have anice blend of youth and experi-ence. Seton fields six seniors, sixfreshman, three juniors andthree sophomores.
At the top of the rotation issenior pitcher Abby Lamping, anOhio Dominican commit, whomissed her junior season afterbreaking her ankle in the firstscrimmage last year.
Senior shortstop LindseyHubbard returns along with sen-ior first baseman Hannah Weg-man and senior center fielder Ja-lee Connor. Hubbard, headed toSpalding University next year,hit .295 with 28 hits last year.Wegman hit .329 and was secondon the Saints in RBI (16).
Juniors Jess Beeler and sec-ond baseman Rachel Auer alsoreturn. Beeler, who will playthird and the outfield, hit .321with 26 hits a year ago.
Second-year Seton coachChrissy Riggins said she likesthe cohesiveness of her team.
“They’re not afraid to getdirty, they’re just tough ball
players,” Riggins said. “We’reprobably the team to beat in theGGCL with so many returnerscoming back ... kind of have an‘X’ on our back (which) could bea good thing or bad.”
The Saints start d at ClermontNortheastern March 28.
Taylor will be a young groupthis year, but there’s no lack ofleadership for the Yellow Jack-ets. There’s also no shortage ofconfidence coming off a 15-7 sea-son and a second-place finish inthe Cincinnati Hills League go-ing 10-4 in conference action.
Taylor has five returningstarters in seniors Sarah Fellin-ger, Ashley Proffitt, Hannah St.John, junior Kelsey Scudder andsophomore Ashley Bauer. Fellin-ger, who hit .386 last year with 32hits, will slide into the everydaystarting pitcher role after 22strikeouts in 18 innings last sea-son. Proffitt will catch and playoutfield; St. John will play firstbase and Scudder will be in theoutfield. Bauer returns at short-stop; she hit .383 with 23 RBI and10 doubles last season.
Taylor only has three seniors,
but first-year coach Jessica Am-bers has been pleased with theleadership across the board.
“I’ve got a really strong sen-ior class in the sense of leader-ship,” Ambers said. “I think thatleadership will help bring ourteam together and be ready toplay.”
The Yellow Jackets open theyear at Oak Hills March 28.
Mercy has been waiting fornearly a year to begin a new soft-ball season so the Bobcats canmove on from their 1-17 seasonlast year. Mercy has just one re-turning starter – senior BrookeSchierenbeck – but the Bobcatshave five seniors that haveplayed together all four yearsand would like to turn thingsaround in their final season.
“The one main thing is teamchemistry,” said first-year Mer-cy coach Elizabeth Mahon.“They know they weren’t verygood last year. There were somestruggles and we hope this yearwill be different. We’re not thesame team from last year.”
Stepping into more promi-nent roles this year are seniorsJess Richter and Liz Nevillealong with junior Hailey Siefert.
Richter’s the everyday startingpitcher and Neville will be be-hind the dish.
“Right now, we’ve been work-ing on hitting. Last year theyweren’t making very good con-tact,” Mahon said.
Mercy’s season starts on theroad at Loveland March 30.
Now in her second season,Western Hills coach AmandaCarpenter has noticed a close-ness on her team, which returnsall nine starters.
“I like the camaraderie of ourteam; we play very well togeth-er,” Carpenter said. “From lastyear to this year they’ve becomelike a family.”
Look for junior outfielder andshortstop Sayanna Jones to havea productive season, especiallyat the plate. Carpenter saidJones has worked hard i at theCincinnati Reds Urban YouthAcademy. Also back is juniorstarting pitcher Sonja Rembert.
Lone senior, Renee Conners,who will play second base and bea leader at the plate, will lead theMustangs.
West High will open the sea-son April 1at home against ClarkMontessori.

Anytime you are atfault in a driving accidentyou can expect all insur-ance companies to know.
Hewrites,”How canmy insur-ance com-pany raisemy rateson 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 that says I was thedriver in a paid-accidentclaim. But still, it hadnothing to do with (myinsurance company).”
That CLUE report iscritical to your insurancecompany learning aboutthe accident. Anytime youfile a liability claim withan insurance company it
is reported to the Com-prehensive Loss Under-writing 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 increasedinsurance 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 you
filed 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.
