When it comes tocommunity building op-portunities, SymmesTownship Trustee JodieLeis is all in.

“Community is themost important thing tome and my family,” shesaid. Fitness is also im-portant and has longbeen a part of Leis’s life.As a trustee, Leis is al-ways looking for ways tobuild community andprovide fitness opportu-nities.

Three recently intro-duced township pro-grams do just this.

One is a new, free yo-ga class being offeredall summer long, 9 a.m.to 10 a.m. every Satur-day at Hopewell Mead-ows Park. A certified yo-ga fit instructor willconduct the class.

A new walking groupstarted at Symmes Park.At 6:30 p.m. everyWednesday during thesummer, Walk & Be Fitwill be led by certifiedtrainer Beth Provinsfrom the Academy ofSports Performance.

The programs pro-vide a nice way for resi-dents to get out, meetpeople and exercise.People are more likelyto get into a fitness rou-tine if they have a groupto exercise with, Leissaid.

The third new pro-gram is Yappy Hour. Asthe title suggests, this isa social program fordogs and their humans.This program startsJune 8 and will be of-fered at 6:30 p.m. thesecond Monday of everymonth at Symmes ParkBark Park.

“I love dogs,” Leissaid. “I have a giantschnauzer and a shep-herd mix I found.”

She takes her caninefriends to different dogparks. One of her favor-ites is Voice of AmericaPark where there are al-ways lots of dogs.

“Our park isn’t usedas much,” she said. Thisis something she wouldlike to change. Resi-dents might not be asaware of the township’sdog park, she said. Yap-py Hour night increaseawareness of the town-ship’s dog park.

She’s also hopefulthat the township mightadd a dog park to Hope-well Park. The trusteesare seeking feedback onthe idea.

All three programsare free. ConstellationEnergy Services andEnergy Alliance is thesponsor of the yoga pro-gram. Earthwise PetSupply is providingtreats for Yappy Hour.Provins is providing herservices for the walkingclub.

cus and help direct com-munity engagement ingetting healthy as a com-munity.

Health district staffmembers lend experienceand help guide the teamsof local partners throughthe process of adoptingwellness resolutions andselecting a pathway basedon the health assessmentinformation. Then thegroups develop actionplans, and begin imple-menting sustainablehealth-promoting initia-tives.

In addition to commu-nity-based programs, thehealth department is ex-tending the reach ofWeThrive through childcare facilities, faith-based organizations, andschools.

The WeThrive ChildCare Initiative focuses onenhancing nutrition andphysical activity in childcare settings by encour-aging increased access to

healthier foods and bever-ages, limited screen timeand increased active play.

The WeThrive Faith-based Initiative and theCenter for Closing theHealth Gap addressedbarriers to exercise forpeople who may not haveaccess to facilities byhelping faith-based or-ganizations create physi-cal activity ministries andprograms that are open toboth church members andthe public. The CCHG de-veloped a tool kit for faith-based organizations inter-ested in creating similarprograms.

The WeThrive School-based Initiative part-nered with the NutritionCouncil and initiallyhelped 11 school districtsadopt the new state nutri-tion standards early, mak-ing it easier for more than61,000 students in Hamil-ton County to makehealthy choices whenthey are at school. Theseearly-adopting districtsincluded Cincinnati, DeerPark, Finneytown, Lock-land, Loveland, Madeira,Princeton, Reading, Syca-more, Southwest andThree Rivers. Ultimately,all 22 Hamilton Countydistricts adopted compet-itive foods policies, reach-ing 105,000 students inHamilton County.

Here’s how local com-munities are engaged inthe county’s WeThriveprogram.

Montgomery

The city of Montgome-ry decided to partner withWe Thrive! in November2014 to continue healthand wellness programs.

“The city is invested inmaking the quality of lifesustainable. The partner-ship met our goals that wealready encourage. It isjust an extension of ourgoals,” assistant commu-nity engagement directorFaith Lynch said.

Montgomery is focus-ing on chronic disease andemergency prepared-ness. The city is creatinggroups of city staff, com-munity members andfaith and civic organiza-tions to focus on each thatwill create a two-year ac-tion plan. Lynch said theprograms will supple-ment what the city is al-ready doing.

“We support qualitiesof life that support ahealthy lifestyle,” Lynchsaid, adding the city hasseven parks, multiplepublic playgrounds andhigh sidewalk connectiv-ity to allow for a walkablecommunity.

Lynch said the city hasbeen promoting healtheating with the Montgo-mery Farmers Marketand Montgomery FoodShare.

The Montgomery FireDepartment recentlylaunched EMS Sign Postto help in emergency re-sponse situations. As partof the program, residentscan go onto the city’s web-site and fill out medical in-formation. They are thensent a refrigerator mag-

net that has a special ac-cess code EMS respond-ers can scan in case of anemergency.

SharonvilleSharonville doesn’t

participate in We Thrive,though the city offers pro-grams that benefit thephysical and mental wellbeing of its residents.

A partnership with theAlzheimer’s Associationincludes a program inwhich patients and theircaregivers gather at theCommunity Center once aweek. The Alzheimer’s pa-tients work on art pro-jects while their care-givers meet to discusschallenges and supporteach others.

Another program forphysically and mentallychallenged adults teachesthem skills to make themcompetitive in the jobmarket.

“Our focus is the healthand wellness of the com-munity. Whether it’s ourfacilities or the programs,our focus is the health andwellness of the communi-ty,” Sharonville Recrea-tion Director Sue Koetzsaid. “Health and well-ness has to do with the en-tire person.”

Twin Creek Preserve isan example of a projectthat fosters physical wellbeing in a community en-vironment.

The floodplain projectthat restored 4,000 feet ofstream includes a five-acre wetland and walkingtrail.

Wyoming Wyoming has applied

for Safe Routes to Schoolgrant funding to extendthe sidewalk from HilltopLane to Poage Farm Road.A previous grant extend-ed the sidewalk alongCompton Road.

When we were growing up (back in thedark ages as my kids say) we didn’t celebrateFather’s day with the hoopla like we do today,

but Mom did fix a special din-ner for our Dad.

He enjoyed his day by plant-ing zinnias and marigolds inthe tiny patch of earth on theleft side of the front steps ofour home.

Each year I plant zinniasand marigolds in the Biblesection of my herb garden nearthe Mary statute to honor myDad.

Now my husband, Frank, ismaking it easy for me on Dad’s day. He re-quested this moist almond pound cake alongwith one more thing: “Peace and quiet.”

The pound cake is a given, the peace and

quiet is debatable. And for all of our Dads inour community newspaper family, I hope youhave the best Father’s Day ever, filled withfamily, friends, and food.

Can you help?Recipe, menu needed from tearooms of

Savor Dad’s day with special recipesFrangipane/almond pound cake

A good keeper, covered, at room temperature. It sounds fancy - frangi-pane just means there’s almond in the cake.

1 cup butter, softened1 cup sugar3 eggs1 can, 12-1/2 oz., Solo almond filling (not almond paste)2 -1⁄4 cups all purpose flour2 teaspoons baking powder1⁄2 teaspoon salt1⁄4 cup milk

GlazeWhisk together:

1-1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar1⁄2 teaspoon almond extract or 2 teaspoons vanilla3-4 tablespoons milk

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour 10-inch tube pan or 12-cup Bundtpan. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beat-ing well after each. Mix in almond filling until blended. Whisk flour, bakingpowder, and salt together. Add to almond mixture alternately with milk,beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix until blended. Pour into pan.Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely onrack. Drizzle glaze on top.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen:It’s important to grease and flour the pan to prevent sticking. After you

grease the pan, toss in enough flour to coat bottom and sides. Shake excessout. Or use a baking spray containing flour.

Versatile spicy chimichurri sauce

A reader wanted a spicy chimichurri to serve on top of steaks for Father’sday. Rick Bayless and I did a class together and he made this chimichurri. Heused it as a marinade and sauce for shrimp. It was so good and versatile, too.Nice on chicken, fish and, you bet - steak! I’ve adapted it only slightly.

1/2 head garlic, cloves separated3 Jalapeno or Serano chilies1 bunch cilantro, tough lower stems removed1 bunch parsley, tough lower stems removed1/2 cup extra virgin olive oilSalt to taste3 tablespoons water or bit more if needed

Set a dry skillet over medium heat. Lay unpeeled garlic cloves and chiliesin pan. Roast, turning frequently, for about 10 minutes for chilies and 15 min-utes for garlic, or until soft and blotchy brown in spots. Let cool and slip skinsoff the garlic. Wearing gloves, pull stems off chilies and roughly chop (no needto remove seeds). Place in a food processor along with cilantro, parsley, oliveoil, and salt. Process until nearly smooth (it will be pasty). Stir in water. Tasteand adjust seasonings.

A publication of

I have been interested inthe reaction to the upcomingSupreme Court Ruling on gaymarriage.

When something as impor-tant as this comes up, perus-ing the paper can providefascinating insight to whatothers think. Sometimes wecan learn something.

There was the gentlemanwho wrote in saying he wouldstill get the Enquirer, but onlyto read the cartoons and dothe puzzles. He claimed thenewspaper was too biased infavor of gay marriage to readanything else. It seems a bitextreme to cut out access toworld and local news becauseof one issue, but he is an il-lustration of the isolationsome prefer rather than theengagement that would makeus all a little richer.

I don’t have to agree with

everything Iread. Howboring wouldthat be? But ifI only readthings I agreewith, I wouldnever learnanything new,nor be educat-ed as to howothers think.

There wasa politician from NorthernKentucky who discussed “val-ues.” Stable marriages areindeed important to society.But marriage, as an institu-tion, has changed over time.For example, it was common-place for children to get mar-ried in the Dark and MiddleAges, especially among therich. We would not condonethat today. In India, it used tobe common for certain Gods

to have earthly wives - wom-en who married idols, essen-tially. One of the last womento be married under this sys-tem recently died. It is nolonger common. We can andshould evolve our institutionsas society itself evolves. Tonot do so would be social sui-cide.

Another person criticizedthe view that marriage is allabout love. I contend that it isindeed about finding a soulmate. It is about love, firstand foremost. I know twoheterosexual couples whomarried, making a consciousdecision not to have children.I respect that. I would fightany law or religion that de-manded that married couplesmust have children. Thatbeing the case, what’s wrongwith gay marriage with re-gard to procreation? If chil-

dren are desired, they can,and should be, adopted orproduced in vitro - we shouldjudge the family (if indeed weshould judge at all) by thestability and the happiness itcontains, not the gender of itsmembers.

Finally there is the thornyissue of religion. Here, I mustuse the country club example:If you are a polo player, don’tjoin a golf club and tell themthey must now build pologrounds. Churches, syna-gogues temples, and mosquesare similar. More and moreare embracing a vision ofGod’s love and acceptance(not to mention the “thoushalt not judge” Command-ment), but that is absolutelytheir choice. No laws shouldimpose the change of reli-gious dogma. However, by thesame token, religions may not

persecute people they see asgoing against what they be-lieve. Do that and we end upback in the Dark Ages.

My takeaway is that Amer-ica is about fairness. If youchoose to marry another hu-man being, that is yourchoice. If the institution ofmarriage is used by the stateto dictate if you can see themin hospital or receive bene-fits, then this is grossly un-fair, draconian, and un-Amer-ican. If you want the govern-ment out of our private lives,marriage is a great place tostart.

June 3 questionThe Ohio legislature is consider-

ing moving the state’s 2016 primaryback a week so that the state has“more influence” in presidentialnominations. Is this a good idea?Why or why not?

“Move the 2016 primary backone week to enable ‘more influ-ence?’ In two words: who cares?National elections are won or lostin the press, on TV and on the In-ternet. It simply does not matterwhich state has the first primaryor the largest primary or the mostcontested primary. The onlythings that matter are which can-didate has the most money in hisor her coffers and how videofriendly are their face and theirability to read a speech off of theteleprompter. Nail down the mon-ey and read a speech like a welloiled actor and even a minimallyeffective community organizercan become president of the Unit-ed States. Scary and sad, buttrue.”

M.J.F.

“I’m not enough of a ‘marketer’to really understand this move.Since all of the parties are primar-ily more worried about ‘press im-pact,’ a sad note, to me, I’ll leave

the wisdom of the move to the ‘po-litical experts’ who rely on the lat-est polls rather than worryingabout whether the voters under-stand issues. It seems a little arro-gant, but perceptive, that most eli-gible voters won’t look at issues orproblems, only the press release.”

D.B.

“I would love it if all state pri-maries were done at the same ex-act time. This would also help cutdown on the political commer-cials or at least their time frameduration. Thank goodness forDVRs and cable stations. For ex-tra credit only allow absenteemail in ballots to cut expenses. GoFigure!”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat should Cincinnati city lead-ers and residents do to curtail therecent trends of gun-relatedcrimes in the city?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in the subjectline.

Older adults are a vitalpart of our society.

Since 1963, communitiesacross the country haveshown their gratitude bycelebrating Older Amer-icans Month each May. Thetheme of this year’s cele-bration is “Get into theAct,” to focus on how olderadults are taking charge oftheir health, getting en-gaged in their communities,and making a positive im-pact in the lives of others.

Older Americans Monthoffers an opportunity toemphasize how older adultscan access the home andcommunity-based servicesthey need to live indepen-dently in their communities.It is also an occasion to high-light how their loved onescan help them to remainsafe and comfortable intheir homes.

All year long, WholeHome Modifications, a ser-vice of People Working Co-

operatively,provides theexperienceand expertiseto handlemodificationsprojects thatwill helpolder Amer-icans con-tinue livingsafely intheir homes.

This May, we’re encourag-ing older Americans as wellas their caregivers, familyand friends to think aboutthey can do to keep seniorssafe in their homes.

A few common problemareas are stairways, floorsand rugs, and the bathroom.As you assess your home orthe home of an older familymember, consider checkingthat all handrails are notbroken and are securelyfashioned. It’s also impor-tant that both sides of thestairway have handrails.

If floors are hardwood,tile or laminate, removingthrow rugs from high-traf-fic areas and investing innon-slip hard sole shoes canbe critical. In the bathroom,replacing towel racks andtoilet paper holders withgrabcessories adds stabilityand security, but won’t makethe bathroom feel like amedical facility.

When it comes to keepingseniors safe in their homesand chosen communities, aproactive approach is impor-tant. We encourage olderAmericans and their fam-ilies to evaluate their indi-vidual needs, and incorpo-rate some or all of these tipsin order to keep their homessafe and secure for manyyears to come.

As health commissioner, Icould write columns, sendflyers, or talk to you throughthe media, continually tellingyou that we eat and smoke toomuch and don’t get enoughexercise.

I could share studies anddata illustrating the ills await-ing us as a result of our less-than-healthy lifestyles. Or, Icould engage you and yourcommunities to make sub-stantive, long-lasting policyand infrastructure changes toencourage healthy practices.Which tactic do you thinkwould be most successful?

Hopefully, you will agreethat the latter approach ismost effective. If so, you andyour community are primecandidates to join the WeTh-rive movement, makinghealthy practices part of yourcommunity vernacular.

WeThrive is a county-widemovement of community part-ners, schools, businesses,places of worship, elected

officials andresidentsworking to-gether tomake healthyliving easierand healthypractices partof your dailyroutine. Themovementfocuses onincreasing

access to healthy eating andphysical activity, while de-creasing tobacco use and ex-posure to secondhand smoke.WeThrive is about makinglasting changes that keepcommunities healthy for gen-erations.

We are working to changethe paradigms inherent indelivering healthy messagingand programming to HamiltonCounty. Rather than talk aboutchange, our team jumps di-rectly in with communityteams dedicated to addressingsome of the most common but

preventable health issuesfacing us today. WeThriveengages community leader-ship through four distinctpathways: chronic disease,environmental health, com-munity health, and emergencypreparedness.

Participating communitiesadopt resolutions, organizeteams, select a pathway andthen get to work improvingtheir health and prepared-ness. Each community teamworks at its own pace andimplements the changes nec-essary to achieve healthiergoals, while Hamilton CountyPublic Health staff providescommunity-level health data,lends experience and helpsguide the process.

Since we launched theWeThrive initiative in 2008,we have seen substantialchange in some of the partici-pating communities. Parksand areas for physical playand recreation have beendeveloped. Gardens have

sprung up in several commu-nities around the County.Schools and childcare facil-ities have adopted healthyeating and smoke-free pol-icies. School districts havecarved out safe ways for chil-dren to get some exercisewhile walking to school. Andperhaps most important, peo-ple are incorporating healthypractices into everyday liv-ing.

There are 19 HamiltonCounty communities partici-pating in the WeThrive initia-tive. That is approximatelyhalf of the communitiesserved by Hamilton CountyPublic Health. Imagine thehealth benefits we could af-fect together if our communi-ties lined up behind one ormore of the pathways tohealth identified by WeTh-rive.

Imagine the county-widereduction in obesity and sub-sequently the preventablediseases associated with obe-

sity, if we could implementhealthy eating and exerciseprograms in the communitieswith the most to gain. Thinkabout the health improvementfor our younger generation asthey grow up with healthyeating, exercise and tobaccoreduction as part of their ev-eryday routines. This year, forthe first time, we can workwith communities to developand implement emergencypreparedness programs toround out a community’s pub-lic health offerings.

Will you consider joining usas we work to make healthychoices easier choices? GiveRebecca Stowe a call at 513-946-7845 and she will be hap-py to work with you to as-semble a team to start thriv-ing in your community.

Sycamore takesanother teamtennis title

At their current rate of suc-cess, more trophy cases shouldbe on order at Sycamore HighSchool for their prolific boystennis team coached by MikeTeets.

On May 31, a day after the Di-vision I individual finals, theAviators returned to the Elysi-um Tennis Center in Plain Cityfor the Ohio Tennis Coaches As-sociation state team tourna-ment.

Sycamore defeated St. John’sJesuit and Massillon Jacksonfor their second consecutiveOCTA trophy and an unblem-ished 2015.

In the finals, once Taylor andAlex Wittenbaum won singlesand Regis Liou/Aditya Venkita-rama took second doubles, thematch was over. First singlesplayer Deepak Indrakanti andthe doubles team of Narendran/Noah Stern didn’t have to finishas the players were surroundedby numerous green and goldfans who had made the tripnorth.

“The crowd was absolutelyunbelievable,” Teets said. “I’venever had a crowd that loud at amatch. It was one heck of an ex-perience for our guys to get toplay in that situation. I’ve neverheard our fight song sung at atennis match before.”

The victory culminated aproductive weekend on Colum-bus-area courts for the Aves.

On May 30, senior Nakul Na-rendran repeated as a state dou-bles champion, this time with ju-nior partner Alex Taylor. Thepair won 6-1, 7-5 over CarlosMartinez and Gavin Aten ofCopley to give Narendran back-to-back titles, plus the team hon-or the next day.

Along with Narendran, Tay-lor was all smiles Saturday andSunday taking the DI doubles ti-tle and winning his singlesmatch in the team competition.

“He actually finished theyear undefeated in singles anddoubles,” Teets said. “It was apretty impressive run for him.”

Indrankanti lost in the Divi-sion I final to Massillon Jack-son’s Joey Thomas, so the teamwin less than 24 hours later wasa morale booster.

The high school run of Indra-kanti, Narendran, Wittenbaumand Venkitarama now ends. Fewsee their prep careers finish ona winning note, but the fourAves enjoyed a jovial ride homeafter a fulfilling weekend.

“We were sure talking aboutthat on the drive home,” Teetssaid. “It couldn’t really haveended any better to win the lasttwo state team titles. A whole lotof things went really well forthem to end their high schooltennis careers.”

COLUMBUS — Forty-threeyears after winning their firststate championship underMike Cameron, Moeller HighSchool brought home anotherbaseball trophy to Montgome-ry Road Saturday.

The Crusaders bombed theWesterville Central War-hawks for 15 runs in the fourthand fifth innings combined towalk out of Huntington Parkwith the hardware, 16-0.

For coach Tim Held, it washis fourth championship, ty-ing his predecessor and for-mer boss, Cameron. The Cru-saders also won in 2009, 2012and 2013 under Held.

The 42-year-old Held wasborn six months after MikeCameron first brought Moell-er to glory in 1972.

“I may have caught him asthe head coach, but he’s stillbeen a part of all of these,”Held said. “He’s got his fingerson all eight of these. He’s agreat mentor to me. I’m so hap-py he still wants to coach andhelp us out at the lower levels.”

The Crusaders drew firstblood on Westerville Central’sNick Buchanan in the thirdwhen Josh Hollander knockeda two-out single and pitcherGrant Macciocchi punchedone into right field that DrewWallace dove for and missed.The result was a triple and a1-0 lead.

Macciocchi went the fiverequired innings on the hill forthe win, allowing just threehits and striking out four. Atthe plate, he helped himself by

going 3-for-4 with a triple andfour RBI.

“It’s great; it’s my last dayever hitting,” a smiling Mis-souri-bound Macciocchi said.“Nothing compares (to this).Everyone was just feelingteam chemistry.”

The game began its down-ward spiral for the Warhawksin the fourth frame whenMoeller all but summoned theportly woman. The Crusaderssent 11 to the plate with sixscoring.

By the fifth inning, it was afull-scale alert as Moeller bat-ted around again, scoring nineruns on six hits. In addition to

Macciocchi’s farewell perfor-mance, seniors Kyle Dockus,Josh Hollander and Eric Con-ner all had three hits and drovein two runs. Hollander andsenior Mitch Meece scoredthree runs apiece.

For all of Moeller’s seniors,returning to Columbus after asemifinal loss last year was agoal all spring

COLUMBUS — In hisown words, CincinnatiHills Christian Acad-emy jumps coach CaseyThomas described soph-omore jumper MorganBradley as a pup.

Bradley, who quali-fied for the Division IIstate championship inthe high jump, has plen-ty of time to learn somenew tricks.

“She’s just beginningto figure out what herbody can do,” he said.

Unfortunately forher, some nagging minorinjuries and an uncoop-erative bar kept herfrom showing specta-tors and her competitionwhat she can do.

After clearing fivefeet in the openinground, Bradley failed oneach of her three at-tempts at 5 feet, 2 inchesat the state meet June 5at Jesse Owns MemorialStadium in Columbus.

“We knew she had toclear 5 feet without anymisses and get past thenext round with nomisses to have a chanceagainst competition likethis,” Thomas said. “Herjumps were good, justnot good enough to keepthe bar upright.”

Had she cleared thatsecond round and all oth-er results stayed thesame, Bradley couldhave finished as high asfifth.

Her actual finish,however, does little to

tarnish the season sheput together.

The sophomore wonthe pole vault at the Mi-ami Valley Conferencemeet, clearing 8 feet, 6inches. She was alsonamed first-team all-MVC in the event.

She took second in thehigh jump and seventhin the long jump at thatmeet.

At the New Richmonddistrict meet, she tookhome second-place fin-ishes in the high jumpand pole vault. In the re-gional, she jumped a ca-reer-best 5 feet, 3 inches,set a new school recordand finished in secondplace to earn a spot in thestate meet.

Over the course of theseason, she has added afull 3 inches to her highjump and 18 inches toher pole vault.

Look for her to con-tinue to improve withthe remaining two sea-sons she has at CHCA.

Her gymnasticsbackground allows herto get good height andvelocity on her jumps.She is also used to pick-ing up speed quickly andbounding off one leg.

“She works veryhard, but those funda-mentals come natural toher,” Thomas said. “Shewill be a force in the polevault next year and con-tinues to improve in thelong jump. It’s possiblefor her to qualify for thestate meet in both thehigh jump and pole vaultevents.”

CHCA sophomore Morgan Bradley, shown here after theregional meet in Dayton, cleared five feet in the openinground of the Division II state championship meet but failedon each of her three attempts at 5-2.

COLUMBUS — Enteringthe Division I state cham-pionship game againstUpper Arlington, St. Xa-vier had outscored its op-ponents by a combined68-11.

After the win againstMoeller in the regional fi-nal, senior attacker JackPerez said the Bomberslike to start fast andpreach that the game isdecided in the first fiveminutes.

Fortunately for theBombers, that wasn’t thecase as Upper Arlingtonscored the first threegoals of the game. How-ever, St. X fought its wayback to supplant the de-fending state champion7-6.

Perez scored thegame-winning goal andgoalkeeper Alex Deters

recorded the final save toclinch the victory.

“I’m just so proud ofthe boys,” St. Xaviercoach Nate Sprong said.“They’ve worked so hardfor this, it wasn’t pretty,but they overcame it withsheer grit in the secondhalf.”

St. X didn’t find theback of the cage untilJack Green scored thefirst of his four goals with1:23 left in the first quar-ter.

With two seconds leftin the first frame, GeorgeThurner cut the Bomb-ers’ deficit to 3-2.

In the second quarter,the Golden Bears re-claimed the lead withthree goals. Green scoredhis second of the game.

At the half, Upper Ar-lington led 6-3.

From there, it was allBombers as they scoredfour unanswered goals in

the second half, includingtwo more by Green. Hisfinal goal of the game tiedit.

“They were locking offon (William) Holcomband (David) Leising,” saidGreen, the game’s mostvaluable player on of-fense. “I could take theshot all day or draw slidesand pass it. It was goodstuff.”

Matthew Donnellyalso put one in the back ofthe net and Perez scoredthe eventual game-win-ning goal.

“On man-up rushes, wealways try to find a 3-on-2and I saw it on the leftwing,” Perez said. “I sawmy man had his headturned away from theball, so I went back-door,threw a fake and luckily itwent in.

“I had gotten stoned bythe goalie earlier. I need-ed that one.”

That goal came withabout four minutes left toplay. It was up to the de-fense to make it stand.

Upper Arlingtonplayed with more urgen-cy and the game got a lit-tle chippy. Eventually, theGolden Bears wound upwith the final possession.

They maintained thatsame deliberate ap-proach that netted themsix goals but the final shotwound up in Deters’ web-bing.

“In the second half, weplayed 24 minutes ofshutout lacrosse,” saidDeters, the game’s defen-sive most valuable player.“I felt the weight of theball in my stick, saw therewasn’t much time left andI high-tailed it out ofthere.

“It still hasn’t set inquite yet. Hopefully, itdoes soon.”

sudden, the offensecame alive.”

To keep loose duringthe onslaught, Maccioc-chi and catcher BaileyMontoya had to go to thebullpen to keep the bloodflowing.

Afterward, the Cru-saders flowed freely outof the third-base dugoutfor the obligatory dog-pile and throwing ofgloves on the field.

“I can’t really explain

it,” Macciocchi said ofthe lopsided victory.“My brother (Brad) wasa part of this in 2012. Itfeels great to be back.”

COLUMBUS — The 2015Summit Country Daybaseball team will be re-membered for having ex-hibited so many exempla-ry traits this season.

No one can questionthe resilience of the Sil-ver Knights. They en-tered the postseason witha 14-12 record and made amemorable trip to thestate final in Columbus.

The Silver Knightsscheduled seven DivisionI teams in the regular sea-son and gained valuableexperience along theway.

Summit Country Dayplayers believed they hadsomething to prove thispostseason and that de-termination and effortwas evident each time theclub took the field.

And Saturday nightwas no different. The Sil-ver Knights left it all onthe field at HuntingtonPark in the state champi-onship game.

Canton Central Catho-lic defeated SummitCountry Day 4-2 in the Di-vision III state final onSaturday night.

Although it wasn’t the

result coach Triffon Cal-los and his players want-ed on the high school sea-son’s final night, the im-pact this squad had on theprogram has been pro-found.

The Silver Knightsearned their first trip thestate final since 1995when the program wonthe Division IV state titlethat year.

Summit Country Day(19-13), unranked in thestate coaches’ poll,earned its first trip to thestate semifinals since

1996. The Silver Knightsdefeated Cincinnati HillsChristian Academy andWaynesville – two top-five state ranked teams inthe regional tournament.

Even when the region-al final and state semifi-nal came down to crucialsituations in the bottomof the seventh inning, theSilver Knights didn’tflinch.

“No one gave us achance at the beginningof the year,” sophomoreConnor McMurry saidFriday night. “And you

know what? We came intothis tournament knowingthat we had a lot of peopleto prove wrong and thatreally drove us. We have aton of heart as a team.”

The trip to Columbusthis spring representedadded significance forthe four seniors – CraigJames, Mark Peterson,Brooks Taylor and EricTerry. To reach the statefinal was extra specialfor those players.

“It means the world tome,” Terry said on Fridaynight.
