Late last year the township bought a nearly 150-year-old home on roughly three acres at 440 Greenwell Ave. for $150,000, and plans to build a new fire sta- tion on the site. The township razed the va- cant home on the property last week. The new station will replace the township’s fire station No. 36, located just down the street at 388 Greenwell Ave. Douglas Campbell, Delhi’s in- terim fire chief, said the existing Greenwell Avenue station was built in 1956 as a volunteer fire station. “It was never designed to have people spend the night there or be staffed full-time,” he said. “It has served us well, but the station has lived well past its operational effectiveness.” He said the Greenwell station is the fire department’s busiest station, serving a densely popu- lated area and handling more than half of the department’s to- tal emergency calls. The outdated building limits the department in terms of how many firefighters can be staffed there, as well as restricts the de- partment from housing some of the larger, modern vehicles and equipment, he said. Delhi Township Administra- tor Pete Landrum said the town- ship has yet to start the process of designing a new station and determining how much it will cost. He said the township will put out requests for qualifica- tions from prospective design and construction companies, and will advertise for bids for the project in the coming months. He said the new fire station will have separate sleeping quar- ters for male and female fire- fighters, larger vehicle bays, meet Americans with Disabili- ties Act requirements and com- ply with today’s building stan- dards. “The old fire house is definite- ly from the 1950s,” Landrum said. “It was built for the equip- ment they had back in the 50s. “The purpose of this is to re- place our busiest fire house. It’s a vital fire house for the town- ship,” he said. Campbell said the replace- ment station will provide the fire department with greater flexi- bility than it has now due to the limitations and constraints of the old station. “Overall it’s going to be a very positive asset in the coming fu- ture,” he said. “We’re looking for- ward to doing the right thing for the community while also fulfill- ing the mission of the fire depart- ment.” Landrum said the township does not have a timetable for when the new station would be completed, but it could be fin- ished in late 2015 or early 2016.

DELHI TWP. — The township isclearing the way for the con-struction of a new fire station onGreenwell Avenue.

Late last year the townshipbought a nearly 150-year-oldhome on roughly three acres at440 Greenwell Ave. for $150,000,and plans to build a new fire sta-tion on the site.

The outdated building limitsthe department in terms of howmany firefighters can be staffedthere, as well as restricts the de-partment from housing some ofthe larger, modern vehicles andequipment, he said.

Delhi Township Administra-tor Pete Landrum said the town-ship has yet to start the processof designing a new station anddetermining how much it willcost.

GREEN TWP. — A groupof Oakdale ElementarySchool teachers and com-munity volunteers havepartnered with the OakHills Alumni & Education-al Foundation to privatelyraise $180,000 for a newaccessible and inclusiveplayground at the school.

At Oakdale, studentswith physical, social andacademic needs learn andwork together, but are un-

able to play together be-cause the existing play-ground does not facilitateinclusive play. Some stu-dents are able to accessthe playground while oth-ers have to sit and watch.

“Making the play-ground accessible for allthe kids like my son hasbeen my dream since theday we toured the schoolwhen he was in kindergar-ten,” Oakdale parentBecky Meyer said in apress release.

“It means that they canbe part of something asbasic as play. There are somany limits in the worldfor these children, and theplayground should not beone of them.”

A team formed this fallto begin planning for rais-ing $180,000 for the newplayground. The OakHills Alumni & Education-al Foundation has raised$2,000 so far.

The Oakdale teachingstaff has already contrib-uted to the cause. Thefundraising team has alsoapplied for $75,000 ingrant funding, with moreopportunities on the list.

With mulch and grassfor flooring instead of flatsurfaces to roll wheel-chairs, as well as playstructures that are not ac-cessible, students are un-able join their peers onthe existing playground.

The structures are notaccessible for studentswith disabilities, includ-ing those who use braces,walkers or wheelchairs.In fact, only one swingcompatible for wheel-chairs exists – one itemfor six students to shareduring a 30-minute re-cess.

“It’s time to changethat, so that all of our stu-

dents can enjoy time to-gether at recess,” Oak-dale intervention special-ist Michelle Boeshartsaid.

The new Scottie Yardplayground will create anenvironment for childrento develop gross motorskills such as musclestrength and balance. Itwill also allow children todevelop mobility skillslike walking, using awheelchair, walker, brac-es or standers to maneu-ver and interact with theenvironment.

“Outdoor play is so im-portant to all children,and an accessible play-ground would offer thatopportunity to childrenlike my daughter,” parentCatie Singer said.

The plans for the newplayground includepoured-in-place rubberflooring, a play structurewith ramp entrance, a va-riety of slides, climbingstructures and interac-tive equipment, includinga freestanding musicalfeature and inclusiveswings.

“By gaining an inclu-sive playground, Oakdalecan be an even better re-source to not only theirstudents, but the commu-nity as a whole,” Oakdaleparent Joey Costa said.

Oakdale PrincipalGeoff Harold added, “Weare a family at Oakdale El-ementary. All of our stu-dents have individualneeds and unique talents.The completion of theScottie Yard playgroundwill not only make the fa-cility accessible to all stu-dents, it will provide addi-tional opportunities forour children to share theirunique gifts with eachother.”

Have you everdone this: you buymore meat than youcan use because it’son sale. Sometimesyou remember tofreeze it, sometimesyou don’t.

If that soundslike you, we’re onthe same wave-length.

Last week I bought morechicken breasts than we neededfor dinner. I made chicken noo-dle soup out of some of them andintended to freeze the rest. Be-cause they were hidden out ofsight in the meat bin, I forgotabout them.

When they surfaced severaldays later, the chicken was stillgood enough to eat, but it neededto be cooked right away.

I had a meeting that eveningand couldn’t fuss with a recipethat took too much time or wascomplicated. This no fuss, quickrecipe was just right.

Really good tasting, too.

Use that extra frozen chicken,cleanse with kale salad

Moist and marvelous Parmesan chickenbreasts

1/2 cup real mayonnaise1/4 cup Parmesan or Romano cheeseFew grindings black pepper2 large or 4 smaller skinless, boneless breasts1/3 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs - see Rita’s tip

Preheat oven to 425. Blend mayo and cheese. Put chickenon sprayed cookie sheet. Smear topping on. Sprinkle withcrumbs. Bake 20 minutes or until juices run clear in centerwhen poked with a knife, about 160 internal temperature.Residual heat will continue to cook the chicken even after it’sout of the oven, raising temperature 5 degrees or so. Don’tover bake or chicken will be dry.

Tip: homemade Italian bread crumbs. I had plain crumbsso I stirred in a couple shakes of Italian seasoning.

Annie’s Kale Salad - a cleansing saladMy niece, Annie, brought this salad to our house as a side

dish for dinner. Annie used regular curly kale. We grow Lac-inato/Tuscan kale, which, to my taste, is milder in flavor. Allkales are nutritious with anti-cancer properties: a cup providesmore than 100 percent of the daily value of vitamins K and A,and over 80 percent of vitamin C.

Salad:

1 bunch kale torn into small pieces1-2 tablespoon olive oil1 Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced1/4 cup dried cranberries1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted, or bit more

Dressing:Go to taste on this, adding more of any ingredient if you

want.

1 tablespoon fresh ginger juice - see Rita's tip2-3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar1 teaspoon Dijon mustard2 teaspoons honey1/4 cup olive oilFreshly ground pepper and salt

Whisk together ginger juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijonand honey. Whisk in oil and season to taste. Set aside.

Meanwhile, place kale in bowl and season with salt, pep-per and olive oil. Massage well with hands - this breaks downcellular structure, making it tenderer.

Add in apple, berries and nuts. Toss with dressing to coat.You can make this hours ahead.

Toasting pine nuts: Best done in dry non-stick skillet overlow heat until golden.

Making ginger juice: Grate ginger and squeeze out juice.Or place pieces in garlic press and squeeze out juice. This is the“hardest” part of the recipe since it takes some time. I like tofreeze my ginger root, grate it frozen, and proceed.

Tip: Ginger paste option. Try using a teaspoon or more ofginger paste. Easier by far and a good keeper in the frig.

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

This quick parmesan chicken recipe is an easy way to use extra frozen meat in a jiffy.

A8 • DELHI PRESS • FEBRUARY 18, 2015

“Let’s cut all of those publicschool positions that are un-needed,” is an unqualifiedrequest by some members ofthe public.

They believe such actionwill save districts lots of mon-ey as well as lower the tax billsfor a district’s residents.

To some residents this ideamight have some superficialcost reduction merit, yet itfails to confront the thought ofeliminating all the responsibil-ities connected with thosepositions that are axed.

Once the Ohio state board ofeducation repeals the five ofeight rule standard, schoolswill no longer be required toprovide a school nurse forevery one thousand students.Although the savings are mini-mal considering the full scopeof an annual budget, someboards of education will choose

to direct thosefunds for otherpriorities atthe expense ofneglecting thehealth servicesonly a schoolnurse candeliver.

All ele-mentaryschools musthave some

kind of care facility for thestudents they serve.

Working as the school’sprimary health care provider,the nurse is responsible formaking sure this facility hasall the minimal medical equip-ment, furniture, and emergen-cy supplies needed by theschool’s students.

When children become ill orinjured at school, they need acare giver for medical atten-

tion emotional support. Moreoften than not that person isthe school nurse. During thecourse of a single day, thenurse might see every conta-gious disease spreadingthrough the school in additionto the normal traffic of chil-dren with cuts, bruises, andmore serious injuries.

In short the school’s healthcenter is its miniature emer-gency room.

A major role of a schoolnurse involves the organiza-tion and dispensation of medi-cations. In a typical elemen-tary school with a student pop-ulation of five hundred stu-dents at least 15 percent, or 75children, will need to takemedication each day. By lawthe meds must be stored in asecure facility and adminis-tered by a designated staffmember.

Each school year nursessearch students’ records toidentify health issues and com-pliance with state immuniza-tion laws. They collaboratewith classroom teachers tomake sure students with ongoing health problems receivethe daily care and treatmenttheir condition may demand.In some cases this involvesperiodic injections as well asproviding special physicalaccommodations within theclassroom.

Kindergarten and preschoolhealth screenings are timeconsuming responsibilitiesthem nurse conducts at thebeginning of each school year.On going vision, dental, scolio-sis and hearing screenings forchildren take place throughoutthe school year. Informationfrom the screenings are usedto compile annual changes in

students physical growth andto make referrals for follow-upcare.

With first hand knowledgeof student’s physical growthand health needs over an ex-tended period of time, theschool nurse contributes valu-able information and insight tointervention assistance andcrisis response teams.

Terminating the position ofa school nurse does not erasethe responsibilities a schoolnurse fulfills. Either thoseduties become an unmet voidor other staff members mustassume them. Sadly, innocentstudents will bear the conse-quences of these potentialpenny savings actions by someof Ohio’s boards of education.

Feb. 11 questionShould parents have the

right to decide whether to havetheir school-age children vacci-nated, and if they decide not to,should the children be permit-ted to attend school? Why orwhy not?

“I believe that parents havethe right to decide on anyaspect of their children’s lives.However, when those deci-sions have ramifications ofplacing the larger communityof children at risk for sicknessor disease I do not believethose children should be per-mitted to attend a public orprivate school. Those childrencan still receive their educa-tion through home schooling,the hiring of tutors (who areaware of the risks).

“We have come such a longway in eradicating diseases inthe past that were debilitatingor life threatening. There is noreason to regress and exposechildren to these potentialillnesses when proven vac-cines are available.”

C.S.

“Those around during thepolio, tuberculosis (earliersmall pox) and other healththreats were brought up toadhere to vaccinations. TheMMR (measles mumps andrubella) has basically eradi-cated these maladies. There issome concern (still unproven)that certain vaccinations canhave side effects such as au-tism. I favor the requiredvaccinations to allow kids intoschools. Those who do notchose this vaccination pathcan always home-school theirkids. But there are some whochose not get a flu shot, but goto work/school with the flu. GoFigure!”

T.D.T.

Feb. 4 questionThe governors of Ohio and

Kentucky announced a newplan to help pay for a newBrent-Spence Bridge, whichincludes a 50 percent toll dis-count for daily users. Is this agood idea? Why or why not?

“I don’t think the newbridge should be paid for withtolls. The federal governmentshould pay the lion’s share ofthe new bridge.

“Mmoney has never beencheaper to borrow than now.

“For all those folks (U.S.Rep. Steve Chabot included)who say we can’t/shouldn’tborrow anymore money, Iwant to ask you this question:Why was it OK to borrowbillions of dollars to buildroads, bridges, power plants,etc. in Iraq, but out of thequestion to borrow $2.9 billionto build a bridge in the UnitedStates?”

Divorce is painful, evenwhen you can see it on the hori-zon.

Within 37 months, suburbsaround the city of Cincinnatihave a major decision to make,but it’s not a typical electionballot choice.

The City of Cincinnati andHamilton County have a 1968Metropolitan Sewer Districtoperating agreement that endsin March 2018. At the recentquarterly meeting of our FirstSuburbs Consortium of South-west Ohio, I spoke to encouragemy elected peers from othercommunities to join in a mutualeffort to plan our collectiveresponse to what follows thelikely splitup.

MSD has been owned by thecounty but operated by the cityfor 50 years, and is funded byeach property owner in theregion who uses sewer service.After the split, Cincinnati CityHall will lack total MSD controlfor the first time in a half-cen-tury. Let’s take time to plan andnegotiate from a position ofstrength as we suburban elect-ed leaders come to the table onthe county’s team.

Costs of the sewer upgradesmandated by our cleanup con-sent decree have generated

angry callsfrom suburbanresidents abouttheir bills. Therecurring “rateshock” of alarge annualrate increasefor cleanupresulted frompostponeddecisions of the1950s and1960s. Today

we are paying billions of dollarsto do the cleaning, storing andseparating that is necessary toreduce wastewater entering theOhio River. Whichever entitiesperform the MSD roles afterMarch 2018 will have to complywith those federal court orders.

Our county’s suburban elect-ed leaders have to decide, whatownership should we and thecounty assert, and what bond-holder assurances will be ap-propriate? This 42 months’advance notice allows electedofficials outside Cincinnati citylimits to determine what wewant our county government todo after March 2018, assumingthe 1968 terms will inevitablybe revised.

The employees of the city-run MSD sewer operations

expected that their pensionswithin the city’s pension pro-gram are securely inside thecity program, but now may bepart of the Ohio PERS pensionspaid to county and local non-Cincinnati employees. Do we assuburbs want that point of le-verage to be used in our negoti-ations for the 2018 empower-ment of the county? Would theremoval of MSD workers im-pact the city’s retirement sys-tem as greatly as some fear?It’s a labor bargaining and fis-cal planning issue. This is notscary, unless we ignore its fis-cal impacts until the last min-ute.

I am hopeful that my electedpeers from MSD-using commu-nities inside the county (butoutside Cincinnati) will join inan effort to get our collectiveplans together. We would enlistthe county commission, andreassure bond holders and soon-to-retire MSD workers thatthey will not be overlookedwhen the 2018 divorce occurs.Let’s start planning for thechanges ahead!

SHORT HOPS

BRANDON SEVERN FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Nick Goldfuss of Oak Hills tries to get out of a roll by Eric Day of Lakota East in the 148-pound match. The GMC heldits conference finals Saturday, Feb. 7.

PRICE HILL — A significantfirst is never forgotten. Thefirst can flatten fear and allowfor progress, confidence andthe expectation of success — es-sential pieces in any program.

In the 1960-61 basketball sea-son, Elder High School’s teamran through a proverbial wallwith one of the best seasons inprogram history — somethingfor which future teams couldstrive.

Elder went 20-1 that year; itsonly loss came against Withrow,66-61, in the district tournament.The team became the first in El-der history to go undefeated inthe regular season and beranked No. 1overall in the state,according to the school.

During its 20-game winstreak to start the season, Elderhad only two games decided bysingle-digit points, a 78-72 winover Newport Catholic, and an82-75 win over Dayton Dunbar.

“We thought we could begood,” said Tom Apke, a seniorforward in 1961. “We had a so-sojunior year and coach (Ray)

Dieringer challenged us at theend of it. We had no way of know-ing things would click so wellthe next year.”

The Panthers’ lineup was itsown kind of “Murderers’ Row.”Theg guards were seniors TomBushman and Fritz Meyer, whohad chemistry since they start-ed playing together as fourth-graders at St. William, they said.Bushman accepted a footballscholarship at Dayton. Meyertook a full-ride to Cincinnati,playing basketball on the 1962National Championship teamand 1963 Final Four team.

At forward, Elder had 6-foot-5 senior Steve Tensi and the6-foot-6 Apke. Junior Tom Bie-denharn was the center at 6-foot-7. Paul Knue was the sixthman and also stood 6-foot-7.

Tensi took a scholarship toplay football at Florida State,where was an All-Americanquarterback before playing forthe Denver Broncos. Apke ac-cepted a scholarship to play bas-ketball at Creighton and wouldlater become a college basket-ball coach between 1974-1996 at

PRICE HILL — Swimming isn’tonly about where you finish, it’salso about how you got there.

It’s a unique sport in that suc-cess isn’t limited to a spot on thepodium or a medal. Success canbe many things. At Seton HighSchool, success is about per-sonal improvement – andthey’re OK with that.

The Saints aren’t flying byanybody away in the water. But,they have come together as ateam and that’s equally as im-portant as your time or place.

“This is a really good groupof girls,” said second-year Se-ton coach Anne Hayhow. “We’vehad a good year with good timedrops.”

There’s no shortage of sen-iors on the Saints – they haveeight and Hayhow referred tothem as “a great group." That’salso one of the reason Hayhow

said her team is so close. Threeof those seniors – HannahFricke, Ashley Grooms andMaggie Thiemann – are all four-year swimmers at Seton.

Prior to the Division I sec-tional meet Feb. 14, Hayhow

said about half her team wouldbe competing at sectionals.

“A huge goal for us would beto get a relay and a couple indi-viduals through to districts,”Hayhow said.

Two other hopefuls are ju-niors Jessica Hayhow and Allie

Bihl who have shots at a post-season run in the 50 freestyle,Hayhow said.

Seton looks for small wins.Hayhow said that one of her fa-vorite moments was seeing justhow much her girls care abouteach other. Part of what makes

swimming different is thatteammates often swim againsteach other in the same race. Inthe 100 breaststroke, Hayhowsaid that junior Isabella Timonnormally beats Maggie Thie-mann, but on this day, Thie-mann dropped more than twoseconds on her time and won.Hayhow said that even thoughTimon lost “she was so excitedto see her teammate do well,”that it didn’t matter that she’dlost. That’s a win that will last.

Coming into the season thegoal was improvement, to makethese girls into a team but alsoindependent. Hayhow said theirgoal is to make lifelong swim-mers and athletes of out thesegirls.

The message Hayhow hopesher team will never forget isthat “they can do something ontheir own without having some-one else with them, but they’realso part of a team.”

After garnering some famethanks to a generous donationfrom a Cincinnati Red, MountSt. Joseph University’s men’svolleyball team is ready to gainmore attention with its on-court performance.

The Lions are off to a 5-3start in head coach Ryan Len-gerich’s second season. Withthe deepest and most experi-enced roster since 2010, the Li-ons are on track for the winnin-gest season in their young his-tory.

After befriending Mount St.Joe senior opposite CesarTrigo de Serrano, whose par-ents are Cuban, Reds pitcherAroldis Chapman became a fanof the Lions men’s volleyballteam. His donation led to abrand-new locker room for thesquad. The donation broughtnational attention to the Lions.

“The attention has been niceand I told the guys to enjoytheir short stint in the sun-shine, and soon enough we willall go back to being largelyanonymous, and that’s OK,”Lengerich said. “We have ahumble group, and we are sothankful for the donation andthe generous positive attentionfrom the media and volleyballcommunity. It’s great for theprogram and the university.”

The new digs make the play-ers feel like they have a home-court advantage, and other ath-letic programs at Mount St. Jo-seph took notice.

“The new locker room reno-vation has given the team aclean, welcoming place to callour own. It has given all of us asmall boost of confidence,”said senior setter Luke Esch-enbach (La Salle). “When peo-ple found out about the dona-tion and who it was from therewas a lot of buzz on campus. Alot of other athletes and stu-dents were congratulating usand asking about our upcom-ing season, saying how theywant to come see some of thematches.”

Sophomore outside hitterAlex Vohland (Lakota West)added, “The locker room reno-vation has brought us closer to-gether as a team. The donationhas helped us on campus bybringing more respect to ourprogram.”

Instead of opening the sea-son at home, the Lions playedtheir first home game at OakHills High School. That is partof an effort for Lengerich, a1999 Elder graduate, and theprogram to reach out to thecommunity. The Lions havealso put on a free clinic foryouth volleyball players, all inan effort to let boys know thatyou don’t need a beach to playvolleyball at a high level.

“Promoting boys volleyballaround the state and in South-

west Ohio specifically is a bigpriority for this program andsomething we talk about on aregular basis,” Lengerich said.

“MSJ is one of the few col-leges, not only in the Cincinnatiarea, but also Ohio, that has amen’s volleyball program,”Vohland said. “With the dona-tion and recent rankings, wehope that this will bring morerecognition to our school andprogram.”

The youth volleyball move-ment in Cincinnati has grownin the 16 years since Lengerichgraduated from Elder. Youthclubs start competing at anearlier age, which leads tomore highly trained highschool athletes. Mount St. Jo-seph’s goal is to attract thosequality high school players andlet them know that they canplay at the next level right herein Delhi.

“I’ve had countless friendsaround campus come to ourgames and be amazed at howdifferent the game is at thislevel. I hope that we can bringthat next level of play to theCincinnati area,” said middleblocker Toby Birnbrich, a 6’5”sophomore from Arizona.“Most people in this area thinkof volleyball as being a groupof people ‘bumping’ a ballaround in the sand, but I thinkthat we are showing peoplethat it is an exciting sport. Thefuture of men’s volleyballlooks very bright in the area.”

The future also looks brightwithin the Lions program. Af-ter fielding just 10 players lastseason, the Lions boast 18 menon this year’s roster, sevenfrom local high schools. Four-teen of them are freshmen orsophomores. There were somepractices last season in whichthe Lions were so shorthandedthat coaches had to join in andplay. Now, they can focus oncoaching and the players canpush one another harder inpractice while being able tostay fresh during games.

“The biggest difference be-tween this season and last sea-son is simply numbers. Lastyear, we only had 10 guys sothere was no resting in prac-tices, this year we have 18, withbackups at every position,”Eschenbach said.

“The level of play in ourscrimmages has vastly im-proved. If you want to be thebest, you have to competeagainst the best,” Birnbrichsaid. “We are fortunate enoughto have some very talentedyoung freshmen to help fostera high level of competition ev-eryday at practice.”

In his second season at thehelm, Lengerich has made ad-justments. He learned last sea-son, along with his players,that the college season is agrind. He has worked to makepractices more efficient, whilehaving less of an impact onplayers’ bodies. The biggestimprovements have come incommunication, which is a by-product of the players’ experi-ence playing together andplaying for the same coach twoyears in a row.

“The culture has been es-tablished, and the student-ath-letes understand my expecta-tions for them on the court andin the classroom,” Lengerichsaid. “It took some time forthem to understand what I ex-pected from them in terms ofcommunication on the court,and holding each other ac-countable. When I started see-ing the guys holding each otherand themselves accountable inpractice without my prompt-ing I knew we had moved to thenext level.”

Their most famous fan hasanother chance to check out hisfavorite local college volley-ball team before he heads toArizona for spring training.The Lions return home to hostFontbonne University on Fri-day and Saturday at the Har-rington Center.

Creighton, Colorado and Appa-lachian State. Biedenharn ac-cepted a basketball scholarshipjoining Meyer at Cincinnati.Knue played college basketballat Villa Madonna, now known asThomas More.

The Panthers were big andpeople took notice.

“We played at Aurora (Indi-ana) and I still remember goingin there as a team and those peo-ple just being in awe of oursize,” said Biedenharn. “Whenwe got on the floor we proved tothem that it wasn’t just our size— we could play.”

Elder put on display a com-plete brand of basketball.

“We had size, speed, workethic and great coaching,” re-membered Bushman, whocoached basketball at Elder for14 years.

That year Elder had fourstarters average more than 15points per game, the players re-called. “Bushman was the onlyguy who didn’t average in dou-ble figures,” Apke said. “Weused to joke that somebody hadto pass the ball.”

Great teams require greatleadership and Elder had that inhead coach Ray Dieringer, the1961Ohio Coach of the Year, andassistant Art DelConte, whomMeyer said was “like an honor-ary member of the class of ’61.”

“We knew we were gonna bedecent, but no idea we’d be un-defeated. After we got playing,I could see they would be prettygood,” Dieringer said.

“Everybody on the team wasgood,” said Biedenharn. “Theguys that didn’t start were goodor we wouldn’t have been asgood.”

The fans took notice, too. Itwas just the second season El-der had a gym, what’s now thewrestling and volleyball gym.

“Every one of our games wasa sellout — you could not buy aticket,” Meyer said. “The placewas so packed outside (beforegames), I had to have a police-man come escort me into thegym.”

Their pursuit of perfection

fell short when the Panthersplayed Withrow, led by RolandWest, who went on to play forthe Bearcats.

After completing his mas-ter’s degree, Tom Apke wentback to UC as a graduate assis-tant coach on the basketballteam. Apke remembered Westjoking at practice saying,“Withrow was lying in theweeds waiting for us.”

“It still haunts me to this day— I cannot get that (game) outof my mind,” Fritz said.

On that night, Withrow wasthe better team. Biedenharn,Meyer and Bushman remem-bered racking up a bunch offouls against Withrow, sayingthe Tigers killed them at thefoul line. Meyer said he thoughtthey went 22 of 24 from the line.Bushman said he fouled out, theonly time he remembers doingthat in his career.

“It was just one of thosenights,” said Dieringer. “Youcan’t have everything. It wasthe toughest game I think I’veever been involved in.”

That loss still stings. And,even though a championshipeluded them, the Panthers stucktogether and still do. “We allstuck together,” Meyer said. “Tothis day, we still keep in contactwith one another.”
