Stage productions atIndian Hill High Schoolmay have just gotten aboost. Work was recentlycompleted on significantrenovations to the audito-rium.

“What (this) means isan opportunity to create abrand new learning envi-ronment for the stu-dents,” said Kyle Hims-worth, performing artsfacilities manager for theschool.

In addition to replac-ing mechanical units inthe auditorium such asthe air conditioners andboilers, the $2.5 millionrenovation project alsoincluded adding an extra5,000 square feet to thearea.

Himsworth said theimprovements are pri-marily behind the stage.A new scene shop was de-signed where sets can bebuilt and additional stor-age space was created.

Previously, studentswould have to constructsets on the stage afterschool hours since thestage would typically beused during the day forvarious school activities.

Students can now com-pete set work during theday if necessary.

Additionally, the reno-vated area will be used asan academic space wherestudents can conduct in-dependent study forcredit hours, Himsworthsaid.

“It’s allowing us to ef-fectively manage andwork with a large numberof students at the sametime,” Himsworth said.

Two productions havebeen presented since the

renovations were com-pleted in September, andstage crews will begin-ning preparing for thewinter production of“Oklahoma” at the startof the year.

“It’s nice to learn onthe new things as op-posed to the old equip-ment,” said sophomorePaige Baumann, whoworks on the tech crewfor the stage productions.

Baumann will soon be-gin training on equip-ment which controls new

lighting installed as partof the improvements.

“It’s made set design alot easier and given usmore options,” said soph-omore Allison Kenne-beck, who also works onthe tech crew.

Himsworth said it’s allabout providing newlearning opportunitiesfor the students.

“The whole goal of thisis to have the studentslearn how to build buttonsrather than just pushthem,” he said.

sulted in 1,439 tons of re-cyclables being collectedin 2009. Since then thecity’s recycling has de-creased by 8 percentalong with solid wastecollection.

“The city of Montgo-mery made recycling apriority in the city’s 2011-2016 Strategic Plan andwill continue to so withthe next strategic plancurrently under develop-ment,” City ManagerWayne Davis said.

Sycamore TownshipRecycling and afford-

able ways to manage ithas been a topic of discus-sion off and on through-out 2015 in SycamoreTownship.

Township leadershipcontinues to look at atownship-wide trash ser-vice contract but no finaldecisions have beenmade, AdministratorGreg Bickford said. Re-cently Colerain Townshipopened their bids for itsown township-wide pro-gram and the cost wasabout $16-$17 per month

Madeira

Madeira providescurbside recyclingthrough its waste con-tract with CSI/RepublicServices.

City Manager TomMoeller said resident par-

ticipation is nearly 100percent, because house-holds are provided recy-cling bins with no charge.Moeller said the city hascollected about 450 tonsof recyclables a year forthe past three years.About 25 to 30 percent ofthe waste collected is re-cyclables.

“Recycling is a veryhigh priority for the cityof Madeira. We remindresidents of the impor-tance of recycling be-cause of the positive ef-fect on the environmentas well as the cost savingsto them,” Moeller said.

Montgomery The city offers curb-

side recycling supportedby a grant from the Ham-ilton County Recyclingand Solid Waste District.The city also offers recy-cling and shreddingevents in the fall andcardboard recyclingevents each month.

The city was enrolledin the Recyclebank in-centive program from2008 to 2010, which re-

for unlimited service, hesaid.

“Our residents cur-rently pay $20-23 for thatservice, so you are look-ing at a maximum sav-ings of $40-70 per yearper household if theydon’t already have a dealwith Rumpke or CSI. Atthis point we are going tocontinue to watch themarket and see if andwhen it makes sense forus to go to a township-wide contract.”

While the townshipweighs its alternatives, itprovides residents with arecycling program viarecycling drop off cen-ters plus documentshredding, leaf pick upand brush chipping, and aspecial trash day. If Syca-more should move for-ward with a township-wide waste program,curbside recycling couldbe a part of that. Such aprogram would likely in-crease recycling in thetownship.

Summit Park is closeto hosting its first non-city sponsored multi-daymusic festival.

Blue Ash City Councilapproved an ordinance toallow City Manager Da-vid Waltz to negotiatewith PromoWest Produc-tions to allow Buckle UpMusic Festival in thepark in 2016.

“We have been work-ing on this contract thisSeptember 2014. Thisevent was held in down-town Cincinnati in 2014and they came to us soonafter that and wanted totake advantage of Sum-mit Park. They thoughtthe event fit better in ourdemographics out here,”Parks and Recreation Di-rector Chuck Funk said.

The country musicfestival is limited to30,000 people a day. Funksaid the event will befenced in so the rest ofthe park, including theplayground, will remainopen to the public.

“There will not be anytraffic on site, all theparking lots will closed.

They will be negotiatingfor parking around thearea, like we do for ourevents. They are plan-ning on running shuttleslike we do for a lot of ourevents,” Funk said, add-ing the festival is using alot of the same methodsand contractors that thecity has for when it hashosted large events, suchas Red, White and BlueAsh and Taste of BlueAsh, in Summit Park.

PromoWest will eitherpay the city $100,000 torent the park for twodays or $125,000 to rent itfor three days. The festi-val will be the first week-end in August and orga-nizers have until April toinform the city if it willbe two or three days.

“The cost for our ser-vices are included intheir fee. When we didthe original calculation itwas for three days and itis about $25,000 to$30,000 in cost for us. So,what we will gross offthis is somewhere in the$75,000 range,” Funksaid.

Funk said the parkhosted about 13 non-citysponsored events, mostly

5K runs, last year but thiswill be the first multi-daymusic festival. BuckleUp also contacted thecity last year about mov-ing to the park, but Funksaid it was not ready forsuch a large scale event.

“This is just one of thegroup that has ap-proached us in the lastcouple of years. Last yearthe phone to ringing offthe hook to see who wewould put in there andhow many people” Coun-cilman Robert Buckmansaid.

Council also approvedan agreement for the cityto negotiate with TheSenate, in Over-The-Rhine, to open a locationin the second communitybuilding. The Senate willbe paying the city$110,890 in rent a year forits first five years in thepark and $121,522 peryear for its second fiveyears. The Senate will bejoining Brown Dog Café,which will be in the othercommunity building.

IEL provided boxedlunches from Honey

“Their goal was to get ameal to every first re-sponder in Blue Ash, sothey came in at every shiftand made an extreme ef-fort to catch every officerand firefighter,” Ftizger-ald said.

Pete Ventura, directorof business development

for IEL, said the companydonates times and re-sources throughout theyear.

“Myself and the othertwo owners here grew upin lower-middle class fam-ilies and really got to un-derstand the meaning ofhow helping others, evenif a small amount, can go along way,” he said.

This year IEL donatedto the Marvin Lewis Fundfor a new playground,raised money for the Su-san G. Komen Fund anddonated to Matthew 25:Ministries, in Blue Ash.

“Our company also hasdress down Thursdayswhere employees can do-nate money to dress downfor the day and IEL

matches their contribu-tion. This year we raised$12,000 for charity for thisendeavor alone,” Venturasaid.

The company also col-lected more than 10,000items during its annualBlue Ash canned fooddrive.

“As far as the first re-sponders go, I feel these

people never get enoughcredit. They are ready andwilling to put their lives onthe line every time they goto work and I don’t thinkthey ever get the appreci-ation that they deserve,”Ventura said.

IEL employees morethan 175 people and alsohave offices in Tampa andChicago.

There’s a lot moreroom for sports team andfamilies – and their cars –at the newly renovatedLaRosa’s Pizzeria justsouth of the KenwoodTowne Centre.

Longtime Indian Hillresident Gregg PanceroSr. and his family, fran-chise owners of the LaRo-sa’s at 7691 MontgomeryRoad in Sycamore Town-ship, have completed ren-ovations that in the pastseveral months had peri-odically closed the restau-rant for short periods oftime.

There previously wereless than 100 seats in thelocation where the LaRo-sa’s Pizzeria has been for37 years, and there noware 120.

The restaurant nowcan accommodate partiesof up to 25 people, has sev-en large-screen televi-sions and local craft anddomestic beers on tap.

There also are 103parking spaces now –about double what there

were before.Pancero Sr. and his son,

Gregg Pancero Jr. ofMount Adams, recentlybought the plaza wheretheir Kenwood-area La-Rosa’s Pizzeria operates.

“Previously, we had aless-than-convenientparking situation at theplaza and the overall din-ing room layout was un-able to accommodatelarge groups,” Pancero,Jr. said.

“We believe both ofthese issues were ad-dressed with this renova-tion.

“We saw an opportuni-ty to really focus on giv-ing our customers a betterexperience as well as torevitalize the existing pla-za,” Pancero, Jr. said.

The plaza is on Montgo-mery Road between Sil-ver Crest Drive and Gar-den Road.

Current tenants areBangkok Street ThaiKitchen, Hair Handlers,Minuteman Press, PrettyNails and Rip N Stitch, inaddition to LaRosa’s.

families. After the bag lu-minaries and the loosesand issues with the car-tons, members tried usinga truck with sand forthose filling the lumina-ria. It was a drizzly, coldday. All the hot cocoa inthe world wasn’t enoughto make this project easy,but it was still beautiful.Once again, sand was the

More than 20 yearsago, members of theSwaim (now Montgome-ry) Kindervelt 22 began aluminaria evening in theneighborhood.

Members would sellpaper bag luminaria toneighbors and on a desig-nated evening, eachhousehold would fill thebags with sand, light thecandles and adorn thecurb with the lights. Itwas time consuming,brought members andneighbors together andbeautiful lights decoratedthe neighborhood.

The task of creating aluminaria event generat-ed a bond between thewomen, which ties themclose today. Some years,the rains came and all thecandles went out. The pa-per bags were messy, fellapart in the rain, some lit-erally went up in flamesor when it was windy, theflames went out.

After the paper bagera, Kindervelt 22 usedplastic milk cartons.Members collected car-tons, cut and stored thecartons, filled cartonswith sand and candles –these were very pretty in

the neighborhood. How-ever, storage of cartonsand leftover sand wasproblematic. Sand be-came the nemesis.

The Swaim neighbor-hood in Montgomery has236 houses and manystreets. In order to tacklethis project, it takes acommitted team of Kin-dervelt 22 members and

nemesis of this project. Kindervelt 22 stopped

the luminaria project foraseason to re-evaluate. Asthe group re-evaluated,neighbors were still will-ing to financially supportthe project because it wasfor Children’s Hospital.

“Imaginaria” receivedthe neighborhood’s finan-cial support that season.

Kindervelt 22 continuesthe luminaria project nowwith battery-operatedcandles. The sand nem-esis is gone, the neighbor-hood is glowing for theholidays and Kindervelt22 profits for the hospitalcontinue to grow with thisproject. “Candles forKids” is now a signatureproject for the Montgo-

mery Kindervelt.Kindervelt 22 member-

ship is open to women whoare interested in support-ing Children’s HospitalMedical Center. Member-ship to Kindervelt 22 isopen whether you live inMontgomery, Blue Ash,Loveland or any neighbor-hood in the Greater Cin-cinnati area.

special interests has beenthe Blue Ash-Ilmenau Sis-ter City Program. Ilme-nau, a city with a popula-tion of 32,000, is a bal-anced community of bothresidential and businessdevelopment, including ahigh tech business park. Itis also the home of Ilme-nau Technical University.The Blue Ash-IlmenauProgram was formalizedin 2002, and, from the be-ginning, Wertheim hasserved as an interpreter,organizer, host to manyGerman visitors, and ac-tive participant on all lev-els. He is also interested inthe Jewish community ofThuringia, and seeks toovercome prejudice andcome to terms with Ger-man-Jewish history.

Since the program’s in-ception, he has visited Il-menau eight times.

Reflecting on the dayhe received the Order ofMerit, Wertheim admit-ted to being over-whelmed.

“I’m appreciative ofthe progress that has beenmade in the 80 years sincemy family fled. Yet, I’m

mindful of the need to con-tinue working to increaseunderstanding betweenpeople and to end preju-dice,” Wertheim said.

Wertheim also recalledthat fighting anti-Semi-tism is not new to Ilme-nau. Commemorating the64th anniversary of Kris-tallnacht, the city un-veiled a memorial to theJews of Ilmenau who fled,were deported, or killedby the Nazis. The ceremo-ny took place Nov. 8, 2008,in the presence of cityleaders, US governmentofficials and representa-tives from Blue Ash.

In presenting the Or-der of Merit to Wertheim,Ramelow acknowledgedthe close relationship thatexists between Germanyand the United States, buthe realizes that this condi-tion should not be takenfor granted.

“This award shouldspur us all on to continueour endeavors

in the interests of inter-national dialogue and un-derstanding. Let us beguided on this positivepath by a statement of Cic-ero, who said, ‘There is nostronger tie of friendshipthan shared plans andshared desires,’” Rame-low said.

JANUARY 13, 2016 • NORTHEAST SUBURBAN LIFE • 7ANEWS

Out here on my little patch of heaven, I’minto what is called “all seasons gardening.” Idon’t stop growing produce because it’s cold

out. I have salad greens andparsley in my window flowerboxes.

We’re expecting single digitsand that will mean the end ofthem until spring. But for now, Ilike strolling a few feet outsidemy kitchen door to harvestgreens as I need them. Theytaste so good with my Italiandressing.

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is anherbalist, educator, Jungle Jim’s

Eastgate culinary professional and author.Find her blog online at Abouteating.com.Email her at [email protected] “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Blender Italiandressing for salad

Put in blender andblend until smooth:

3/4 cup oil1/4 cup white wine

vinegar1 clove garlic3 tablespoons shredded

Parmesan1/2 teaspoon sugarSalt and pepper1/2 teaspoon dried

oregano1/4 teaspoon dry mustard

(or teaspoon of Dijon)Few sprigs parsley if you

have it.

Amish sweet friendship bread

Guess what was requested by a “fan.” Friendship bread! Talk about a vintage recipe, thisis it. I remember getting my first loaf along with a batch of starter from my friend, Bert, whohas a farm down the road. The whole idea of friendship bread is just that, to share. And it’s atimely lesson in food chemistry for the kids, too.

To me, this is more like a cake than a bread. The whole kitchen will be perfumed with aheavenly aroma as it bakes.

The starter takes 10 days. It’s fun to watch it bubble, smell yeasty and ferment as the daysprogress. Be sure and give the sourdough starter recipe along with the bread recipe to recipi-ents. I have a feeling they’ll love the bread so much that they’ll start their own batch of starterto share! I also like to give slices of the bread with the recipe for sampling.

First, make the sourdough starter:Leave this starter on the counter, don’t refrigerate. Put in large bowl, glass or ceramic,

not metal (some metals interfere with fermentation) covered lightly. Or put in very largesealed baggie. If air forms squeeze it out. Instead of stirring, squeeze bag. The little ones loveto do the squeezing.

The starter will have a yeasty/sourdough aroma and will bubble up at times, especiallyafter the days you “feed” it. In between it may look a little flat, but that’s OK.

Day one:Stir together:

1 cup flour1 cup sugar1 cup milk1 envelope (.25 oz) active yeast stirred into 1/4 cup warm water (let it foam a bit before

stirring into flour, sugar and milk)Days 2 through 5: stir with spoonDay 6: stir in 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milkDays 7 through 9: stir with spoonDay 10: add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk and blend well.

Then divide the starter into 1 cup measures. Keep 1 cup for yourself to make bread andgive others away in very large baggies with recipe. (I can’t tell you exactly how many cupsyou’ll get depending upon the aggressiveness of your starter, etc. but you should get at least 4cups).

Now here’s the recipe to make Amish sweet friendship bread. I have another recipe thatdoesn’t use pudding. But I have to say this one seems to be the favorite.

Beat together:

1 cup starter3 large eggs1 cup oil1/2 cup milk2 teaspoons vanilla

In a separate bowl, stir together and then beat with egg mixture:

2 cups flour1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 cup chopped nuts (opt)1 large box instant vanilla pudding1 cup sugar + extra for pan2 teaspoons cinnamon + extra for pan

Preheat oven to 325. Spray 2 loaf pans, 9-by5. Sprinkle bottom and sides generously withextra sugar and cinnamon. Dump out excess. Pour batter in pans. Bake 50-60 minutes or untiltoothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Gilding the lily:Sprinkle top with a bit of sugar and cinnamon before baking.

When I look around a five-mile radius of Wanglaw/Wang-news, which is in downtownSilverton, I can think of at least20 Asian American restaurants(mostly Chinese followed byThai, South Asian, Korean,Japanese, Vietnamese etc.). At50 miles there are hundreds.

According to omgfacts,there are more Chinese restau-rants in the United States thanthe number of McDonald’s,Burger Kings, Wendy’s, Dom-ino’s, and Pizza Huts combined.A more reliable databasesource perhaps iswww.crinu-s.org, which estimates that in2015 there are more than

30,000 Chineserestaurants inthe USA with914 of them inOhio and 245in Kentucky(the two total1,159). Bear inmind thesenumbers pointonly to Chi-nese restau-

rants and if we include allAsian American restaurants,there will be more.

Asian American restaurantsare the longtime small busi-nesses, self started and mostlysuccessful enterprises in

Greater Cincinnati and North-ern Kentucky (I have seensome fail too) and indeed ubiq-uitous to all of the USA. AsianAmerican restaurants areimmigrant-worker and minor-ity owned.

How is it no one mentionsAsian American restaurantswhen thinking and talkingabout the shaping of the newAmerican economy, especiallyalong the emergent thinking ofthe inclusive and cooperativeeconomy?

Are Asian American restau-rants so successful they aresimply taken as granted aspart of the American economic

landscape? I myself do notthink they should ever be tak-en as granted – they had tostrive and overcome morehurdles, including languagebarriers and worse yet, delib-erate exclusion, to get to wherethey are. Some fail during hardtimes just as the other busi-nesses do. Therefore, AsianAmerican restaurants andtheir lesser known businessmodel should be part of thediscussion on inclusive cooper-ative economies in the USA.

So, what is the secret Tao ofthe success of Asian Americanrestaurants? Right now, I willshare with you one ethic upon

which many Asian Americanrestaurants base their success.Here it is, simple and not over-done:

First, excellence in selfstudy, raise strong family,build institutions through prop-er example, and have peacewith all under heaven.

While this may be my par-ticular interpretation for themodern business reader of thePax Sinica, known to Chineseas ping tian xia, I think Amer-ica can get a great deal fromthis Confucian ideal.

The Tao of the Asian American restaurants

Charleston C.K. WangCOLUMNIST

Recently two South Amer-ican countries realized thattheir economic failures weredue to equalitarian econom-ics.

They started the longarduous change to a govern-ment that allows the publicto set their own values andwork for them. There ismore meaning in this thanmost people realize. As agraduate in business admini-stration. I have a fair knowl-edge of economics.

As a former business own-er, I saw first hand how em-ployees react to favorableworking conditions. It was apleasure to me to see thembring their children to workfor me because it was a goodplace to work. It also meantthat my training and replace-ment costs were very low.

Deliveries were on timedue to employee loyalty.

Politics have changed forthe worse since those days.Education in economics hasalso changed for the worse.As I no longer have a busi-ness, my criticism is not formy benefit, but for the Amer-ican working folks that arecaught in an economy whichworks against them. Sadlythis economy has many poli-ticians who claim to be forthe working folks and thelower income brackets yetproduce laws that hurt thepeople they claim to help.

We will examine this insome detail after you consid-

er the veryvaluable quo-tation thatfollows. Thisis from Win-ston Chur-chill: “Thevice of cap-italism is thatit stands forthe unequalsharing ofblessings,

whereas the virtue of social-ism is that it stands for theequal sharing of misery.”

A healthy economy is onewhere employers have morebusiness than they can satis-fy. This means that goodworkers can choose who theywant to work for and employ-ers have to make working forthem attractive. In the econ-omy that has come from thefalse equality we are produc-ing, workers compete witheach other for any job, rea-sonable or not when theirbenefits run out.

There is still a seriousproblem. The benefits add toa fast growing governmentdeficit. This will involveprinting money and/or rais-ing taxes on people who cre-ate jobs. They will react byreducing hiring, automating,importing or closing busi-nesses. I have seen the re-sults of this type of economy.On one side of the streetthere were old shipping con-tainers. Those were the liv-ing quarters. On the otherside there was a neat row ofportolets. There was a sadequality there.

Inequality is used as adirty word by politicians. Inreality it is the result of thevalue produced by each per-son in the economic cycle.Granted, it is not always fair,in a free economy one hasthe opportunity to move to abetter job if one has theskills and work habits thatwarrant a change for thebetter.

As I wrote in a previousessay, making it profitable tohire workers and to take ajob would solve many of ourpoverty problems. Anotherof the benefits of this changewould be that the wealthyand middle class would bemore likely to spend moneythus creating more opportu-nities for working folks.

A closer lookat economics

Ed LevyCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

The best economic periodfor people making minimumwage was during the periodbetween 1945 and 1965.

Such a person was barelyable to support a family offour with that wage, workingseven days per week. Gasolinewas 25 cents/gallon, bread was25 cents/loaf, doctor visitswere $5, and they often gaveyou the medicine you needed,at no additional cost. The mini-mum wage must be raisedimmediately. A $20 per hourminimum wage would notbring you to 1950s living stan-dards.

Most of this disparity is thefault of our presidents andcongress. LBJ and the 1964Congress dissolved the SocialSecurity Trust Fund, statingthat they didn’t need it, it wasmore money than could bespent in the history of theworld.

They then used those fundsto pay for the Vietnam War,The Great Society and themoon shot! We lost the war,the same percentages of peo-ple are still poor, and the Chi-nese are just now deciding towaste their money visiting themoon. The abscess of Plutoc-racy was beginning to have adebilitating economic impact

in the 1960s. Itwas paid forwith double-digit inflationthroughout the1970s.

The GOP,completelyradicalized bythe Tea Party,is a rottingcorpse in the

heat of the jungle, legs up,tusks cut off by poachers, fliesbuzzing, hyenas circling. Thisis not the Republican Party Ihave ever associated with.They are filled with anar-chists, KKK, white suprema-cists, Jesus freaks, Libertar-ians, a sprinkling of old Re-publicans, and probably aLutheran or two.

Their attitudes about theproselytizing of their religiousviews, and their insistence onunequal pay and health carefor women, is quite backward;as are their attempts to limitthe ability to vote, for manywho are qualified.

Their ideology reeks withantiquity. They wish to returnto a time when only WhiteMale Landowners could vote;women could not own proper-ty, as they were the propertyof their husbands; and were

beaten regularly, as were thechildren, sometimes by rented“whippers.”

Don’t you find it discourag-ing when you read about, andview videos of your congress-man demanding that localpolice confiscate cell phones,cameras and any recordingdevices during town hall meet-ings? Is this democracy? Isthis even civilized? It smells of1930s Nazi Germany!

What do you think aboutthose 47 Senators who signed aletter to the enemy, in an at-tempt to undermine the gov-ernment of the United States?Is that treason?

It’s reported that Jeb Bush,as governor, signed a law thatforced single mothers to posttheir sexual history in a majornewspaper! Is this possible? Itwas called the Scarlet Letterlaw.

The far left of the Demo-cratic Party is entirely unrea-sonable with respect to therate of change that can bemade in the use of fuels inpower plants, automobiles,trucks and buses. The same istrue of other chemicals theywish banned.

SYMMES TWP - AmidstNorth College Hill’s surge,Summit Country Day’s resur-gence and Clark Montessori,the defending champion in theMiami Valley ConferenceScarlet division, there is Cin-cinnati Hills Christian Acad-emy.

At 5-2, the Eagles are rightin the thick of the conferencerace. Everybody has a role onthe team, be it scoring or com-ing off the bench and playingdefense, and they execute thatrole.

When a presence likePrince Sammons doesn’t re-turn to the team, it tends tosend shockwaves throughoutthe conference and beyond.But CHCA is learning it’sabout what a team has ratherthan what it doesn’t.

“The guys who are in prac-tice, it might have fueled thembecause they heard rumors of‘Hey, we’re not going to bemuch’ and I think it motivatedthem,” head coach AndyKeimer said. “We have somereally good guys like Erik

(Kohlan), Blake (Souther-land), Cory (Combs) and ZachBell off the bench. They do agreat job. We’ve had someyounger guys step up too likeTanner (Southerland) andMatthew Kadnar.”

The Eagles will soon getKesean Gamble back into thefold. Once they do, he’ll addmore depth and athleticism.

Right now, however, theformula is working well. Chal-lenged by some tough non-conference games, which in-cluded Elder and Milford, theytook momentum into a holidaytournament in Jupiter, Fla.

While there, they playedthree teams and picked upthree wins. The last two wereagainst better opposition.

The Eagles’ season is shap-ing up to be a good one. Theyare looking to be there at theend in the MVC as it gets tight-er down the stretch.

“We have to play some real-ly good teams,” Keimer said.“This conference is a greatbasketball conference. It’stough. Our non-conference istough, too. We wanted to chal-lenge this group and the kidshave responded well.”

SYCAMORE TWP. - Alreadyin one of the more competitiveconferences around, the Syca-more High School wrestlingprogram has increased the de-gree of difficulty in their sched-ule this season.

In addition to the annual de-manding events like the Coach-es Classic, Sycamore took partof their roster to the BrecksvilleInvitational recently. Brecks-ville is a traditional wrestlingpowerhouse in Ohio.

Among the Aves that took themat, the Traub brothers, seniorGary and junior Jimmy, faredwell.

“Gary was our only placer upthere; he took third,” Sycamorecoach Jeremy Pletz said. “Jim-my had two tech falls and was amatch away from placing.”

Jimmy Traub wrestled at 138pounds last season and this yearhas gone as high as 152. GaryTraub has been a stalwart at 195pounds and was fourth at thestate Division I meet in Colum-bus last March.

Last year, Gary Traub wasunbeaten going into Value CityArena. This year, if all works asplanned, he’ll come in with a fewlosses.

At presstime, he had been de-feated three times. Before youthink he’s having an off year, theteam’s strength of schedule hascome into play.

“All of his losses are to guyscurrently ranked in the top eightin the state,” Pletz said. “Onewas to a guy ranked first in Divi-sion II and another was to a guywho placed at state. He’s seenthe competition. On the flip-sideof taking the hard losses, he’salso beaten some very talentedwrestlers.”

He has also battled the 12th-ranked wrestler in the countryfrom Maryland. For now, GaryTraub will take it one match at atime as he prepares for the pro-gression of the Greater MiamiConference meet at LakotaEast, followed by the sectionalsat Hamilton.

In addition to Traub’s titleslast season, senior Cole Suttonwas second in the GMC at 182pounds. This season he’s wres-tled as heavy as 220 pounds andlost a tight overtime match Jan.5 at an in-school dual againstGlen Este state qualifier (at 195)Nate Stone.

“He also did very well atBrecksville,” Pletz said of Sut-ton.

Junior Kyle Green wasfourth in the GMC at 113 pounds,but wrestled at 126 in the GlenEste dual. Pletz set up the meetwith the Trojans because of

their reputation. Glen Estecame in ranked No. 6 in the city.Last season, they were goodenough to knock off Moeller in adual setting.

“We haven’t done one here in

many years,” Pletz said. “Ourkids are happy to have theirfriends here.”

INDIAN HILL - For manyarea teams, the 30th annual In-dian Cup hosted by CincinnatiCountry Day was the startingpoint of the gymnastics sea-son.

And what a start it was forAnderson junior Casey Gittel-man. The former club gymnastwon the vault, uneven bars andall-around competitions.

She scored a 9.05 on vault, a9.2 on bars, 8.2 on beam and an8.75 on the floor exercise. Herall-around score was 35.2.

“This is my first high schoolmeet I’ve competed in,” Gittel-man said. “I felt prepared forit, but I know I have a lot I canwork on for the end of the sea-son. I felt like it was a goodstart.”

Gittelman participated atthe club level until the middleof her sophomore year. Shetook a year off to recalibrateand is now back with gusto.

Coach Stacey Bailey’s goalfor Gittelman Saturday wasfor her to go out and workthrough her routines in thecleanest possible way. She didmore than that with the threegold medals.

The exciting part for thecoach and the Gymskins is thatshe will only get better as theseason progresses.

“She’s nowhere near whereshe’s going to be later in theseason,” Bailey said. “For herto come out with three goldmedals is pretty awesome.”

Turpin also had a goodshowing in this marquee event.

Haley Witherell, BrittanyGardner and Gretchen Wat-kins peppered the top-10 stand-ings.

That trio helped the Spar-tans pick up a third-place fin-ish behind champion Center-ville and runner-up Troy.

“We did better than we didin the meet before this one, butnot as good as we are going todo later in the season,” coachGail Maundrell said. “We haveroom for growth.”

Event organizer and Coun-try Day coach Steve Connerliked what he saw from histeam as well.

“I liked the improvement,”he said. “We don’t have girlswho have club experience so tosee the improvements they aremaking and the increase in dif-ficulty is great. Each meetbrings a better score and thiswas our highest score of theyear. I’m really happy withwhere we are.”

Teams from Beavercreek,Hamilton, Lakota East, LakotaWest, Miamisburg, North-mont, Thomas Worthingtonand Westerville Central com-peted as did individual com-petitors from Milford, WalnutHills, Xenia and Sycamore.

“The talent level here wasone of the best I’ve seen in along time,” Conner said. “Thegymnasts in Cincinnati repre-sented themselves well and Ithink will make a good run atgoing to state. It’s a fun meet tohave. I know the coaches andgymnasts really appreciate it.We’re looking forward to run-ning this meet as long as wecan.”

KENWOOD - By all indica-tions, Moeller High School’s an-nual holiday basketball get-away was a success.

The Crusaders finished fifth,knocked off a prestigious na-tional powerhouse and parentsenjoyed the Grand Strand ofMyrtle Beach, S.C., with tem-peratures in the 70s and 80s.

Don’t ask coach Carl Kremerhow the seafood was or for va-cation photos, though. The vet-eran coach spent most of histime in his office-away-from-home, known commonly as “thegym.”

The Crusaders were 3-1 inthe Beach Ball Classic and up-set the No. 6 team in the country,Mater Dei (California), 43-40 intheir final game of 2015.

“We played against goodcompetition and good teams andI thought our guys really re-sponded well,” Kremer said.“It’s just a great experience. Wehave a lot of great memoriesand we’re hoping it can spring-board us to playing well in Janu-ary.”

Moeller traditionally plays ina holiday tournament and lastvisited Myrtle Beach in 2013. Intwo visits, Moeller is 6-2 againstsome of the better prep playersin the country. Their previousvisit featured a game againstGrayson Allen, who now playsfor Duke.

This year’s loss was to SetonHall Prep of New Jersey featur-ing T.J. Gibbs who will attendNotre Dame. Moeller fell 39-33,but held a one-point lead withthree minutes remaining. In theupset of Mater Dei, the Crusad-ers faced a front line that fea-tured a 6-foot-10 post, shadowedby a pair of 6-foot-9 players.

Senior Sam McCracken isMoeller’s tallest player at 6-foot-7 and 183 pounds. JuniorsRiley Voss and Keegan McDow-ell check in at 6-foot-5.

“I’m not quite sure how wedid it,” Kremer admitted. “Wereally kind of managed theclock on them and got a big vic-tory.”

In Moeller’s opening winover Mullins (South Carolina)they played against Jalek Fel-ton, who went on to score a tour-nament record 55 points a fewnights later. The Crusaders heldhim to 20.

“He’s ranked as the No. 3 ju-nior in the country and he’s go-ing to North Carolina,” Kremersaid. “He’s a big name guy. He’sprobably a ‘one and done’ someday.”

Kobi Simmons, another top

prospect being recruited byKentucky and Ohio State playedfor St. Francis (Georgia), anoth-er Moeller victim. M.J. Cage ofMater Dei will be heading toOregon.

Of all the magical momentsMoeller basketball has had,Kremer said the holiday tourna-ments are always a highlight.

“They talk about the teamsthey played out-of-state and thegreat players,” Kremer said.“It’s a major thing for them.This team will have some greatmemories.”

Trey McBride was the onlyCrusader to make the all-tour-nament team, but several of histeammates also shined and arelooking forward for a good win-ter run.

“Trey played really well withsome high recruits,” Kremer

said. “Keegan McDowell andRiley Voss did well and NateGeorgeton’s leading us from thepoint. Our big (man), SamMcCracken is really starting toblossom.”

Moeller now plunges into thetreacherous Greater CatholicLeague-South schedule againstteams who also went south forseasonal seasoning. St. Xavierwon two of three games in Al-pharetta, Ga., La Salle was run-ner-up in a tournament in Ocalaand Elder took home a trophywith a championship in FortLauderdale.

The Crusaders and ElderPanthers meet Jan. 15 at Moell-er. That Monday, Kremer willtest his team again by playingWesterville Central at Otter-bein before going to La SalleJan. 22.

fall and Gary Traub pinned hisopponent. For three freshmenin the lineup, it was baptism byfire.

“It’s good for them to seethe competition and getready,” Pletz said.

After the Fairfield Invita-tional, Sycamore will hosttheir own Invite Jan. 16 wherePletz hopes to expose his Avesto more of the area talent.
