Despite an effort by the Ma-deira Historical Society, theFowler, or Hillman, House willbe demolished and three newhomes will go in its place.

Members of the historical so-ciety attended the MadeiraPlanning Commission meetingMarch 16, during a public hear-ing to discuss replacing thehouse at 7144 Summit Ave. withthree new homes. Historical So-ciety Spokesman Doug Oppen-heimer outlined the history ofthe house and why the societywants it saved.

“I don’t have an issue withteardowns. But, I think everynow and then there is somethingthat has to be given special con-sideration and this is it,” Oppen-heimer said.

The Fowler House was builtin 1865, according to recordsfrom the Hamilton County Au-ditor’s Officer. The house wasowned by the Hillman familyfor more than 50 years.

Planning Commission mem-ber Kyle Hern said there wasnothing the Planning Commis-sion could do to save the house;the commission was chargedwith determining only if theplans for the site met the city’scode. Oppenheimer said the his-torical society went to the Plan-ning Commission because thenotice for the hearing was thefirst time they heard it could bedemolished.

“The current owner couldjust rip it down, variance aside,”Hern added.

The property is owned by theWilma Hillman trust. Contrac-tor A Temmel & Associates ap-

plied for a lot split, creating anon-conforming residential lotand a side yard setback varia-nce. With the plans, a house willgo on each of three lots. One

house will be in the same placeas the current house.

Bruce Hillman, Wilma‘s son,said he grew up in the house andtried to save it. The property

was on the market for sevenmonths with a requirement thatthe house not be destroyed. Therequirement was removed af-ter A. Temmel & Associates gotinvolved.

“There is nothing to justifytreating this house any differ-ently than any other. Wecouldn’t get anyone to talk to usabout restoring the home andthis is where we find our-selves,” Bruce Hillman said.

Summit Avenue residentRichard Rust raised the issue ofthe project’s density.

“I’m not trying to stand inway of production. I don’t have aproblem with change. I do havea problem with people cominginto Madeira and doing things inexcess. Three houses is a bit ex-cessive, I know my neighbors

have concerns,” Rustsaid.

Commission memberMark Tisley said the re-quest was reasonable,though Hern said a houseon the corner lot, whichwill be more than 10,000square feet, seems largefor the lot. Based on thecity’s code, a house cancover no more than 28 per-cent of the lot it is on. Thecorner house will cover 19

percent of the lot and theother two will cover 27percent and 26 percent.

“Twenty-eight percentis the coverage limit. Thisplan fits 28 percent. Theyare all conforming lots ex-cept for the variance,”Hern said.

The request was ap-proved by the five mem-bers of Planning Commis-sion who were present atthe meeting.

Indian Hill studentsprovide holidayBy Forrest [email protected]

A4 • SUBURBAN LIFE • MARCH 25, 2015 NEWS

For some three years,Jennifer Dudley Arbaughenjoyed taking her blackLabrador retriever Searayto Rheinstrom Park in In-dian Hill.

Recently…not so much.Too often, Arbaugh

said, she’s pulled up to the

27-acre Rheinstrom Parkat 8105 Graves Road andSearay has bounded out ofthe car – and onto groundthat has become a mine-field of dog feces.

“I am not a controlfreak. Nor a sanitation fa-natic,” said Arbaugh, whoused to live in Indian Hilland lives now in Marie-mont.

“I am a polite and con-scientious dog owner. Sea-ray and I are fortunate tohave a park where he canrun free.”

What Rheinstrom Parkshould not be, Arbaughsaid, is “a place for rude,neglectful canine ownersto take advantage.”

“Those who never haveamutt-mitt dog bag. Never

pick up and leave it on orclose to the trails,” Ar-baugh said.

“Trails where adultsand their children come toenjoy in all seasons.”

Arbaugh said her con-cerns revolve aroundmore than aesthetics.

“Dog droppings can behazardous to humans andother dogs,” Arbaugh said.

“They carry disease.They carry smell.

“They do not disinte-grate or magically disap-pear,” Arbaugh said.

Arbaugh’s criticism isnot directed against IndianHill government officials,whom have posted signs atRheinstrom Park tellingpeople to clean up after

their dogs and have pro-vided bags for dog wasteand trash cans to throwthem in.

Indian Hill City Man-ager Dina Minneci – whosays other people shareArbaugh’s concerns –saidthe village also has beenpublishing articles in themonthly Indian Hill Bulle-tin about the responsibil-ities of people with pets atthe park.

“Currently, we are con-templating additionalways to increase aware-ness amongst pet ownersof the extreme importanceof taking responsibility fortheir pets, including en-forcement,” Minneci said.

“However, more re-

search and due diligence isrequired to ensure any fu-ture changes are pursuedeffectively and efficientlyand without having unin-tended consequences.

“The most direct way tohelp alleviate this issue isto have the pet ownersthemselves understandthe significant problemscaused by not cleaning upafter their pets,” Minnecisaid.

“It would be very bene-ficial for local dog groups,neighbors and park visi-tors to talk openly whenthey see others who are notfollowing the establishedpark rules.

“Word of mouth and ad-dressing the issue as it ishappening can assistgreatly in decreasing theoccurrence of dog litter,”Minneci said.

Arbaugh has a morepointed suggestion.

“If you object to pickingup after your dog, stayhome,” Arbaugh said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brisket, ham for Passover, EasterMy best Passover brisket

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

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

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

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

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

Homemade spiced honey glaze for spiral ham

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

Boil at a gentle boil together for about 5 minutes:

3 cups honey1 tablespoon cinnamon1 tablespoon whole cloves3 tablespoons butter

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

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

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

visit their memorials in Wash-ington, D.C. Honor Flight isdedicated to making a dreamcome true for these ordinarypeople who gave so much fortheir country.

The memorials in Washing-ton, D.C., dedicated to theirservice, are often never seenby the very veterans theywere built to honor. Our tripvisits the World War ll, Kore-an, Vietnam, Lincoln, AirForce , Iwo Jima Marine Me-

morial and the tomb of theUnknown Soldier in ArlingtonNational Cemetery. This is atrip the veterans will neverforget – this honor paid tothem from grateful Amer-icans is long overdue. Theyreturned from war and mil-itary service to build ournation and they have not beenhonored in this way sincetheir return.

Our mission has taken on anew urgency, with the ad-vancing age of the survivingWorld War ll and KoreanVeterans All World War llveterans will have top priori-ty and all WW ll veterans willfly in 2015, thanks to out-standing support of our mediasponsor the Simply MoneyFoundation, Emery Communi-ty Foundation and others.

We want to invite all Veter-ans over the age of 65 to go ona free trip, but first we haveto find them! We do not ad-vertise, since we feel all mon-ies collected should be usedexclusively for the veterans .We have no paid staff and

every dollar donated goesdirectly to cover the expensesof the trips only.

We have five charterflights planned for 2015. It iseasy to apply. Just go to thewebsitewww.honorflighttristate.organd fill out an application inthe veterans/ guardians sec-tion or call the hotline 513-277-9626 and we will send youan application. Every veteranwill travel with a guardianchaperone, who pays theirown way ($440) for the honorof spending the day with atrue American hero, our vet-erans. All veterans travelfree.

Please help us find veter-ans now, by distributing thisinformation. It is never toolate to say thank you. Time isrunning out – help us findthese deserving veterans forthis trip of a lifetime. Theirservice have saved freedomfor all of us.

March 18 questionWhat are your predictions for

March Madness - the NCAA Tour-nament? In how many bracketpools will you participate?

“My prediction is that Ken-tucky is going to win it all.Bench depth is so important inthe tournament since you nev-er know when you’ll have oneof the starters get into foultrouble.

“With Kentucky that doesn’tmatter since their bench play-ers are probably just a slightpercentage dropoff in abilityfrom the starters. No otherteam in the tournament hassuch talent and depth that cancome off the bench and nothave the team miss a beat.

“I’ll probably enter twobrackets, one a friend of mineis running and another fromwork. It won’t really mattersince by Thursday late PM, Iwill already have lines drawnthrough my selections, on myway to another disappointingfailure at bracket perfection.”

C.S.

“Zero.”D.H.

“I’m just sad that the BlueJackets won’t be facing offagainst Ottawa this year. Nev-er heard the Stanley Cupcalled March Madness. Wheredid that term originate?”

D.B.

“My prediction for MarchMadness is Michigan State forthe whole enchilada. However,since they failed to make thebracket, I may possibly needto reconsider. UK is the pre-sumptive star and I can sup-port them. I am only in onepool at work and that is aimedat giving most of the proceedsto charity. The one thing

March Madness always stirsup for me is the question thatif NCAA basketball can do anall-inclusive tournament lead-ing to a true and real nationalchampion, why can’t they dothe same thing for NCAA foot-ball?”

M.J.F.

“I’m a big Xavier Univer-sity fan, but am realistic toknow that their chances arenot very good in winning anational title, however my No.2 team, the University of Wis-consin Badgers, have a legiti-mate chance of cutting downthe nets after the final game.

“Everyone is picking theUniversity of Kentucky Wild-cats and for good reason, how-ever, UW gave them a run fortheir money in last year’ssemifinals and I think with anextra year behind them andthe way the style they play,they could knock off themighty Wildcats.

“In summary, maybe myheart is giving way to commonlogic, but I’m going to stick tomy prediction and hopefullyBo Ryan will finally get thatelusive first NCAA Division Ibasketball title!

“Go X!!!!!! and on Wiscon-sin!!!!!!”

An open letter to theIndian Hill Board ofEducation

I attended the Tuesday,March 10, board meeting andbelieve the only thing accom-plished was waking a sleepinggiant. You’re hurting your-selves and the district as itpertains to the illegal insidemillage tax.

What I heard in the IndianHill School District visionstatement were the words In-tegrity, accountability andleadership. The board had anopportunity to demonstratethese important values, andinstead compromised them

further. I not only watched your

reactions to the speakers whocame to the podium, but alsotook note of your interactionsas team members and a board.

What I saw was indiffer-ence, lack of integrity and ac-countability and ultimatelylack of leadership.

My only regret was that thestudents who attended didn’tstay long enough to see this inaction. They missed a greatopportunity to learn what not todo and how not to conduct theirfuture commitments and obli-gations.

There are two fundamentalissues to acknowledge:

» The board created thisdilemma. No one else did.

» You’ve also decided asindividuals and/or a group thatthere’s an interest in it for you,whether it’s ego, legacy, accom-modating family members inthe system, etc.

The Ohio Supreme Courtagrees there isn’t any financialneed for the Indian Hill SchoolDistrict whatsoever. A unani-mous ruling was reached anddirected, stating reversal andremand.

The solution, as we all know,is a simple vote away.

Whether you agree or not,your fiduciary responsibilitiesas board members, according

to law, are to provide completeand full resolution.

Remember, this is not yourschool district, it is owned bytaxpayers, and it is an honor toserve as a board on their be-half.

Thanks to waste crew I want to publicly thank the

waste collectors of RepublicServices for making an extraeffort that helped my son gethis iPhone back.

My son lost his iPhone whilewalking home from the highschool. Although he retracedhis steps, he could not find it inall the snow. Someone found itand put it on their trash can ontrash day (thank you for notthrowing it away). The wastecollectors made the extra ef-fort to take the phone to thehigh school to see if anyonewas missing a phone.

That's how my son got hisphone back. I don't know thenames of these workers, but Ihope they see this. I have alsosent a thank you directly toRepublic Services. Thanks you!

Though they were second inthe Greater Catholic League-South to Elder last season at 6-3,Moeller High School’s baseballteam made another state run asthey got to the Division I semi-finals at Huntington Park in Co-lumbus and finished with a 24-5record.

Coach Tim Held returns sixsenior starters in infielder JoshHollander, catcher Bailey Mon-toya, outfielder/first basemanBryan Soth, pitcher/designatedhitter Joe Vranesic, infielderKyle Dockus and outfielder Jor-dan Ramey.

Junior outfielder Kyle Butzand junior pitcher Nick Bennettwere also key contributors andsenior pitcher/infielder GrantMacciocchi is back after deal-ing with injuries his junior sea-son.

Butz is the top returning hit-ter at .436, while Soth returns at.364. Dockus and Vranesic wereat .315 and .310, respectivelywith Vranesic leading in thepower department with a pair ofhome runs.

Lefty Bennett is the top re-turning pitcher with four winsand 39 strikeouts, while Vranes-ic had 40 strikeouts.

“Our offense looks to be verysolid with the number of play-ers we are returning,” Heldsaid. “Our starting pitchingshould be solid as well. Our ex-perience will be key as a lot ofcurrent seniors played signifi-cant innings last year as ju-niors.”

Moeller’s roster is fertilewith college talent. Hollander,Soth and Vranesic are KentState signees; Macciocchi is go-ing to Missouri; Montoya toDayton; Dockus to Wright State;Ramey to Cincinnati and pitch-er Zach Hoffman is heading toMiami University. Two juniorpitchers have already commit-ted with Nick Bennett going toLouisville and Cameron Junkerto Notre Dame.

The Crusaders start the sea-son March 28 with a double-header at Schuler Park againstTroy and Strongsville.

The rest of the CincinnatiHills League has found itselflooking up at Madeira previoustwo seasons. The Mustangshave nine guys back who eitherstarted or received significantplaying time off a team thatwent 20-9 (won the CHL) andlost in a Division III sectionalchampionship game.

The one word second-yearMadeira coach Scott Stocker,the 2014 CHL Coach of the Year,used to describe his team: “Ver-satility.”

Currently, Madeira’s loadedwith a roster of “16 or 17” guyscapable of playing multiple po-sitions. It gives Stocker the abil-ity to be creative every daywhen he sets his lineup.

“We have guys that can playa ton of different positions and aton of guys that can pitch,”Stocker explained. “Most of ourguys can play infield and out-field. It’s good to see (versatili-ty).”

Stocker said his team shouldbe balanced offensively, onethrough nine, and the Mustangshave “about 12” guys who canpitch on varsity.

Returning for Madeira afterstrong seasons last year are

senior first baseman Jake Hyatt(signed with Wilmington), sen-ior Kyle Rizzuto, junior pitcherCameron McCullough and ju-nior middle infielder Jake An-finsen.

Hyatt was first team All-CHL last year with a .418 battingaverage and team-highs in RBI(31) and doubles (13). Rizzuto,also first team All-CHL, hit .398with 17 RBI, 33 hits, 33 runs anda team-high 16 stolen bases. An-finsen, who will also pitch, had20 hits last year and posted a1.50 ERA in 14 innings of work.

McCullough, a Division IIIfirst team All-Enquirer selec-tion and first team All-CHL lastyear, was 5-2 last season, a 1.42ERA, three saves, three shut-outs and 31 strikeouts.

Stocker also said he’s beenimpressed with freshman SamWirsing, a 6-foot-4 pitcher al-ready touching low 80s with hisfastball, and Jake Weiner, whocan hit.

Madeira’s season openerhappens to be in the Reds Fu-tures High School Showcase atCrosley Field against WyomingApril 6 at 7 p.m.

Jim Gross takes over theDeer Park Wildcat programthat has struggled recently, butdid win a state championship in1977. Deer Park was 0-14 in theCincinnati Hills League and 2-20 overall in 2014 with wins overNorwood and Taft.

Along the way, they did haveseveral close games, includingtheir 3-2 tournament loss toSummit Country Day last May15.

Top returning players forGross are senior outfielder MaxMueller, junior first basemanChristian Stidham, senior pitch-er Danny Winter, sophomorecatcher Jake Pickering, seniorinfielder John Hedger andsophomore catcher Tyler Bu-chanan.

Winter is the top returninghitter at .326, while Muellerdrove in 10 runs. Winter alsologged the most innings on theteam and recorded one of theirwins.

“We have a lot of young play-ers eager to learn,” Gross said.

The Wildcats begin the sea-son March 28 against North Col-

lege Hill.New Indian Hill head coach

Scott Lloyd has had a busy cell-phone early in the season.Thanks to Indian Hill HighSchool’s new artificial turf in-field, the Braves have been ableto rake at the plate and not onmuddy base paths.

Lloyd has high school experi-ence at Clermont Northeastern,Hillsboro and Fayetteville. Dur-ing the summer he has beenhead coach of the CincinnatiFlash Premier team and cur-rently coaches the CincinnatiHurricanes U16 Premier team.

Returning starters for theBraves are senior catcher Mi-chael Folz, sophomore thirdbaseman Winston Caine, sopho-more second baseman ChandlerHarris, senior left fielderBrooks Renfro, sophomorepitcher Greg Nevins and sopho-more infielder Max Sweeney.Also expected to contribute issenior Josh Berger and fresh-men A.J. King and Seth Braf-ford.

Harris is the team’s top re-turning hitter at .302. Folz andRenfro are back with the mostmound experience.

“We have a great balance of

leadership and talented youth,”Lloyd said. “We have three sen-iors returning with varsity ex-perience that help mentor andlead the underclassmen. Wehave a very solid defense withgood speed defensively and of-fensively.”

Indian Hill starts the seasonagainst McNicholas on March28.

The Cincinnati Hills Chris-tian Academy Eagles had thebest result at the end of the sea-son of any area team. Last year,they finished as the Division IIIrunner-up to Coldwater at Hun-tington Park in Columbus.

CHCA’s roster was litteredwith college signees, all-MiamiValley Conference performersand even a Major League Base-ball draftee. Pitcher CameronVarga signed with the TampaBay Rays. This year, the Eaglesare hoping to make a return tripto the state capital.

Helping guide the Eagles tothat goal will be Cameron andChase Murray. Both batted bet-ter than .450, accrued more than40 hits and received recognitionfrom the MVC. Cameron wasnamed to the second team andChase received an honorablemention nod.

On the mound, the Eagles re-turn seasoned pitcher GrahamLally, who could be counted onto lead the staff with the depar-ture of starters such as BlakeSwanger and Varga.

Lally posted a 4-1 record lastseason.

Enquirer Division III headcoach of the year Jeff Keithcould not be reached for furthercomment.

CHCA opens the seasonMarch 28 against the CincinnatiTrailblazers.

The Lady Wildcat softballteam at Deer Park High Schoolhas rung up six consecutive win-ning seasons and 2015 shouldeasily make it seven. Deer Parkhas won the last two CincinnatiHills League titles and was 11-3in the league in 2014 and 17-7overall.

From that team Coach BillNewton returns eight startersand all of them were either firstteam, second team or honorablemention in the CHL. In the lineupare senior catcher Olivia Lig-gett, senior first baseman LaceyChadwell, senior shortstop Ka-sey Purdin, senior left fielderMiranda Venus, senior centerfielder Ceara Trusty and seniorright fielder Samantha Wood.Joining them is junior secondbaseman Natalie Carnes andsophomore pitcher Jenna Shep-herd.

Newton also looks for contri-butions from seniors HopeMueller and Sarah Donahue, ju-nior Katelyn Bosse and fresh-man Julie Kramer.

“They know what it takes towin big games,” Newton said ofhis squad. “We have a good mix-ture of speed, power, defenseand pitching. Ceara Trusty is al-ready the career hits leader andcould take over career runs, bat-ting average and on-base per-centage. Samantha Wood is thecareer doubles leader and couldtake over the career RBI lead.Lacey Chadwell holds the careerhome run record and looks to addto her lead.”

Deer Park begins with a dou-bleheader at New Miami March28 and a road game at MountHealthy March 30. The homeopener is against NorthwestMarch 31.Though they’ve devel-oped a reputation in volleyballand basketball, Mount NotreDame High School would like toearn some notoriety in thespring.

Coach Michelle Meenach’sMount Notre Dame Cougarswere fifth in the Girls GreaterCatholic League last season at3-7, but were 13-11 overall. Fromthat squad, seven starters return

in senior catcher/outfielder/in-fielder MaddieTaney, senior in-fielder Kate Jen-nings, senior out-fielder MeredithShaffer, junior in-fielder/catcherLexi Ripperger,

junior pitcher Sydney Zeuch,sophomore infielder Macy Ta-ney and sophomore outfielderShelby Nelson.

In addition, freshmen JoelieZielinski, a utility player, andEmma Benz, a pitcher/first base-man, should make key contribu-tions.

“‘Joe’ (Zielinski) will be ahuge addition to the team thisseason,” Meenach said. “Wheth-er she is in the infield or the out-

field, she is a nautral. Her batwill also come in handy at the topof the lineup.”

Ripperger and Maddie Taneywere GGCL first team last sea-son. Ripperger hit .448 and had23 steals, while Nelson tied forthe league-lead in hitting as afreshman at .500 (29-58).

“We have an amazing core ofplayers and an additional sevenfreshmen that will be a huge ad-dition to our team,” Meenachsaid. “We’re very excited to con-tinue the improvement of ourprogram. With five seniors thisseason, it will be interesting tosee where they take their teamtheir final season. These girlshave the will to win and theywent over and above this off-sea-son to prepare themselves.”

MND starts the season with apair of games March 28 againstFinneytown and Turpin.

Indian Hill coach Pat Spur-lock’s Lady Braves were in the

middle of the pack in the Cincin-nati Hills League at 7-7 and were11-14 overall. They did finishstrong, winning six of their lastseven, including tournament vic-tories over Northwest and NewRichmond.

Returning from the CHL firstteam is junior Cassidy Zang, aninfielder/pitcher. Senior short-stop Mikayla Germain was sec-ond team a year ago and seniorBeatriz Hernandez made honor-able mention.

Zang is the top returning hit-ter at .441 with a team-leading 31runs batted in. She did pitch innine games and was 2-1 with 36strikeouts in 24.2 innings.

Indian Hill starts March 30against Withrow on their newturfed field in its new location onthe Drake Road campus. The fol-lowing day they host Norwood.

Nikki Ladd slides into thehead coaching role at Madeirathis season after coaching as an

assistant last year on a 10-12team that went 7-7 in the Cincin-nati Hills League.

Just three starters return forthe Amazons, led by the team’sonly senior — catcher MollyMurphy. She led the team in RBI(14) and stolen bases last season(nine).

The other two returning start-ers are sophomore first basemanNatalie Stringer and sophomorecenter fielder Brittany Ladd.Stringer, who at 6-foot-1, “Lookslike a softball player,” her coachsaid; she led the team last yearwith a .327 batting average.Coach Ladd described herdaughter, Brittany, saying “Sheknows the game.”

Madeira may have to workthrough some growing painsearly on. With one senior, one ju-nior, six freshman and five soph-omores, the Amazons will needyounger, inexperienced girls tostep up.

“What we lack in experiencewe make up for in heart,” saidcoach Ladd. “Our girls will give(everything they have) everygame. As a coach what morecould you ask for.”

Ladd, joined by assistants Ste-phanie Megois and Laura Ed-wards, said they’re looking for-ward to having a lot of fun thisseason.

Madeira’s at Wyoming April 6to open the season at 4:30 p.m.

Ursuline Academy lost plen-ty of seniors from last year’sGirls Greater Catholic Leaguechampionship team. However,head coach Missy Keith is confi-dent a new crop will lead theteam to its third conferencecrown in a row.

The Lions, who finished 16-7overall and 9-1 inside the confer-ence last year, lost first-team all-GGCL performers in KaitlinBarbiere, Mackenzie Robinsonand Danielle Stiene, who wasalso the conference’s player ofthe year. However, the cupboardis far from bare.

Ursuline returns OliviaAmiott-Seel, another first-teamall-conference performer, andsecond-team members AnnaHecht and Mailey Lorio. Thecoach said her team is youngerin the pitching circle and willcount on sophomore KristynAiello this year.

The Lions will also look forcontributions from senior EmmaDarlington.

“This group has stepped up asleaders, doing everything fromworking hard in the weight roomto the practice field,” Keith said.“If they buy in, continue to workhard and prepare like theyshould, it should be a good sea-son.”

The Cincinnati Hills Chris-tian Academy Eagles return atleast two of their top battersfrom last year’s 6-9 season in-cluding Cassidy Yeomans, wholed the conference with a .692batting average, and Alex Led-ford, who signed to play softballat Asbury University back inFebruary. Ledford hit .467 lastseason. CHCA head coach LeahCrouch could not be reached forfurther comment.

The Eagles open this seasonMarch 28 vs. Clark Montessori.

EVANSTON — Moeller HighSchool senior Nate Fowlerplayed his last prep basketballgame at Xavier University’s Cin-tas Center.

Unfortunately, it was last sea-son when he was a junior.

Thanks to a preseason injury,the Butler commit was only beenallowed to watch from the benchthis season as he healed. Theonly other current Crusader whosaw the floor in last year’s sea-son-ending loss was reserveguard Kevin Kerley.

Minus their 6-foot-9 big man,the Crusaders managed a dis-trict title in Dayton with new

players to earn the return trip toXavier March 18 against Spring-field.

That’s where the Wildcatswere waiting with a 6-foot-9 be-hemoth of their own.

Springfield junior DariusHarper blocked two Moellershot attempts in the game’s finalseconds and senior AnthonyFreeman made a pair of keythree-pointers down the stretchas the Wildcats defeated the Cru-saders 51-47 to advance to the Di-vision I regional final.

The smaller Crusaders heldHarper to seven points and sixrebounds, but he made his pres-ence known by changing andblocking shots.

In addition to Freeman going

4-5 from the arc for 12 points,sophomore Danny Davis was 3-7for 14 points.

“Gutsy performance by ourkids against a great team,”Springfield coach Isiah Carsonsaid. “That’s a good program thatwe beat twice this year.”

The Wildcats also beat Moell-er on Jan. 3, 74-72 in overtime.

In the second match withSpringfield, the score was tiedseven times, including 19-19 atthe half and 34-all after threequarters.

The lead changed 10 times.Even though the Wildcatsjumped ahead by seven in thefourth quarter, the Crusaderswere able to cut it to a bucket on aGrant Pitman drive with 1:37

left.Springfield appeared to be

slowing it down before seniorFreeman launched a trey fromthe corner that hit the bottom ofthe net to the dismay of theMoeller faithful. Pitman gotMoeller within two on a three-ball with :29 left. Moeller thengot the ball back with 17 ticks re-maining. Springfield’s Harperthen blocked Trey McBride andRiley Voss on consecutive pos-sessions to seal the win.

Moeller was led by sopho-more Voss with 12 points and 11rebounds. Senior Pitman had 11points and junior McBride hadseven points and 10 rebounds.Moeller outrebounded Spring-field 37-29.

Anytime you are atfault in a driving acci-dent you can expect allinsurance companies toknow. That’s what Jerry,

from Ris-ing Sun,Indiana,says he’slearned.

Hewrites,”How canmy insur-ance com-pany raisemy rateson an acci-dent that

was paid by my wife’sinsurance in her car? Myrates will not be reducedfor three years. (Myinsurance company) hadnothing in the gamewhatsoever, and are prof-iting for no reason.”

Jerry goes on to write,“They go by a CLUEreport that says I was thedriver in a paid-accident

claim. But still, it hadnothing to do with (myinsurance company).”

That CLUE report iscritical to your insurancecompany learning aboutthe accident. Anytimeyou file a liability claimwith an insurance compa-ny it is reported to theComprehensive LossUnderwriting Exchange.

Usually, your CLUEscore is assessed whenyour insurance policycomes up for renewal.Any monetary claim youfile with an insurancecompany is reported toCLUE. All your claimsare grouped together soan insurer can assessyour insurance behaviorpatterns. So, several autoinsurance claims can, forinstance, lead to higherpremiums for yourhomeowners insurance.

To avoid increasedinsurance rates its bestto file as few claims as

possible. Don’t file aclaim for small amountsif they are only slightlymore than your deduct-ible. Save any insuranceclaims you may file formajor, costly accidents.That will keep yourCLUE score as low aspossible which will saveyou money on premiumsfor every type of insur-ance policy you buy.

Any insurance claimyou file will remain inthe CLUE database forseven years from thedate you filed them.Some insurance compa-nies keep track of yourcalls if you ask whetheryou are covered for aloss – and such calls canlater be used against you– but such information isnot reported to CLUE.

Statistics show if youfiled an insurance claimin the past, you’re morelikely to do so in the fu-ture. The amount of the

claim, officials say, isless important than thenumber of times you file.

Your insurance premi-ums are also determinedby other factors includ-ing your age, gender,marital status, occupa-tion, education level, andcredit score. That creditscore tells companies

how much debt you carryand whether or not youpay your bills on time.

The Insurance In-formation Institute saysstudies show how peoplemanage their money is agood indicator of wheth-er they will file an insur-ance claim.

Remember, the bigger

the risk you are to theinsurance company, thehigher the premiumyou’ll be charged—or youmay even be denied cov-erage.
