A former Cincinnati Assis-tant Police Chief is taking thehelm of the Mount Healthy Po-lice Department.

Vince Demasi took the oathof office at the Jan. 6 MountHealthy City Council meeting.He retired as chief of the WestPalm Beach Police Department

in May after twoyears on the job.

Demasi waswith the Cincin-nati Police De-partment for 32years, from 1980to 2012. He wasassistant chief oracting assistantchief for 10

years, serving in the investiga-tions, patrol and administrationbureaus. He was a dispatcherand police officer with theSpringfield Township Police De-partment from 1976 to 1980.

He left Cincinnati in 2012 tobecome the chief in West PalmBeach. And while Demasi saidthe officers and the city weregreat to work with, and althoughFlorida’s sunny weather is unde-niably more pleasant in the win-ter, there is no place like home:He wanted to return to Cincin-nati to be closer to family.

Sorting paperwork piled onthe desk in his Mount Healthyoffice, he says there is a lot ofwork to do and he’s alreadystarted.

He takes over the MountHealthy department just in timeto hire three new police officers,and he’s eager to start the proc-ess.“We are stretched prettythin right now,” he said.

He says he’s spending hisearly days with the departmentgetting some processes cleanedup in preparation to hire thoseofficers and he thanked resi-dents for passing the tax issuethat makes it possible.

“We are going to put those of-ficers on the street,” he said.“We have a lot of people doingdouble and triple duty right now,and that speaks volumes aboutthe kind of officers we have onour department.”

Forest Park voters will like-ly be asked to approve a firelevy on the May 5 primary bal-lot.

City Council talked aboutthe possible levy at a Jan. 5work session and plans to beginthe process at a meeting at 7:30p.m. Monday, Jan. 12. Councildiscussed the likelihood that alevy would be needed last year.

Forest Park City ManagerRay Hodges says while manycity departments are set up tooperate under the generalfund, the Forest Park Fire andEMS Department is set up tooperate funded by property taxlevies.

“While it is a continuinglevy, it is generally structuredso that the levy typically willlast five years and then it has tobe reviewed to determine if itshould be placed back on the

ballot to be renewed at its cur-rent rate based on assessed val-uations of the community,” hesaid.

Voters approved the current9.7-mill fire levy in 2008. Hodg-es says the city has stretchedthe fire budget well beyond itsfive-year design and the cur-rent level of operations cannotbe sustained through 2016.

“This means decisions haveto be made in 2015,” he said.

Hodges said the level ofstaffing the city wants cannotbe sustained at the currentrate, but recent property reap-praisals show property valuesthroughout much of HamiltonCounty are still depressed.

He says a simple renewal atthe levy’s current rate on a low-er assessed valuation is notlikely to generate the revenuenecessary to sustain the de-partment’s current operation,much less an expanded level ofpersonnel and equipment.

The current fire levy gener-ates about $2.9 million annual-ly. Hodges says other revenuefor the fire fund is about$600,000. Total expendituresfor 2015 are expected to be

around $4.3 mil-lion, which in-cludes hiringthree additionalfirefighters inJuly at a cost ofabout $150,000for the half year.

Last May, thecity asked the

Hamilton County Auditor’s Of-fice to estimate what additionalmillage would generate for thefire levy and at that time, eachadditional mill would generateabout $313,000 for the depart-ment and cost the owner of a$100,000 house an additional$35 annually.

Hodges said this doesn’ttake into account reductions inproperty values since last May.

Hodges says council nowneeds to decide on the appro-priate amount of mills put onthe ballot.

“It is important that we don’tdo anything that would effec-tively reduce the revenue gen-erated by the current 9.7 millsand that we simply add to it,”Hodges said. “So the wordingof any ballot issue is importantin terms of whether it is a re-

newal, replacement or clearlyan additional levy.”

The deadline to put this onthe May 5 ballot is Wednesday,Feb. 4, which is 90 days prior tothe election. Hodges said thecity plans to have a public hear-ing before the deadline, but nodate has been set.

Mayor Charles Johnson saysbecause of the cost of being theonly issue on the ballot at a spe-cial election, he believes theMay ballot would be the cheap-est for the city in terms of whenit should be placed on the ballot.

Finance Director HarlitaRobinson told council mem-bers they need to express thecity’s need in a dollar amountand the county auditor willcome back with a certificationof the millage necessary to gen-erate that amount.

At a special meeting follow-ing the Jan. 12 work session,council needs to pass a resolu-tion of necessity to be certifiedby the auditor. Council plans tovote on a second resolution atits meeting Tuesday, Jan. 20,which is not a Monday nightmeeting due to the Martin Lu-ther King holiday.

ager Bill Kocher says De-masi was a great fit for thevacancy left followingMark Waldeck’s resigna-tion for health reasons lastyear.

“Vince grew up inSpringfield Township, andserved on the SpringfieldTownship Police Depart-ment early in his career,so he knows the communi-ty,” Kocher said. “And hebrings a great deal of ex-perience to the job.”

Demasi said one of thethings that drew him tothe Mount Healthy de-partment is a dedication tocommunity-oriented pol-icing. “These cops knoweveryone,” he said. “I wasimpressed. They know theresidents; there is a senseof family.”

Demasi was appointedby Kocher and per theMount Healthy City Char-ter is an “at will” employ-ee, meaning he has no con-tract. He is hired at an an-nual salary of $85,000. Hissalary was approved bycity council.

Winton Woodshonors top scholars

Whether it was a fear of get-ting behind in his classes, theopportunity to do morning an-nouncements as a senior, or hismom’s insistance that he drinkorange juice in the morning andwater as often as possible tostay healthy, Anthony Thomp-son did not miss a day of highschool.

“When I was in kindergartenand elementary school, my par-ents encouraged me to form apractice of being at school ev-ery day,” Thompson said. “As Igrew through my school years,this practice became more ha-bitual and enjoyable.”

Thompson’s good habitturned into 720 consecutivedays — or 5,040 hours — ofclassroom time.

“Having perfect attendancewas never as much of a goal as itwas an appreciation of being atschool with teachers andfriends and experiencing allthat school had to offer,”Thompson said. “The opportu-nity to experience learning andlife with friends, both peers andfaculty members, brought meto school every day.”

While at Winton Woods HighSchool, Thompson participatedin National Honor Society, bandand chorus, and was active onthe school stage, most recentlyas the Beast in the spring musi-cal “Beauty and the Beast.” Healso graduated as one of the top

scholars in his class.One of the highlights of his

senior year was being chosen todo morning announcementswith classmate Jenny Joseph-Zamis.

“From live music to jokes tospecial guests to accents to ap-pearances by characters fromthe upcoming play or musical,we wanted to give the an-nouncements an entertaining,yet ultimately informative,makeover,” Thompson said.“All that while having as muchfun as someone can possiblyhave at eight in the morning.”

JANUARY 14, 2015 • HILLTOP PRESS • A5NEWS

With wind chill tem-peratures dipping belowfreezing, I’m having tofill up the bird feederstwice a day and check onthe girls/chickens everyfew hours to bring them

fresh wa-ter. I want-ed to tellyou, too, tocheck onneighborswho areelderly orshut in.Bringthem abowl of hotchicken

broth to which youcooked in cheese tortelli-ni and a handful of freshspinach. A sprinkling ofParmesan is good in thesoup, too. Nourishing andwarms one all over!

Remember I told youanything fermented isgoing to be popular thisyear due to the healthbenefits? Kimchi is oneof those and a popularKorean dish. I got thisrecipe from a fellowcookbook author at afood demo during MotherEarth News Fair lastyear. Tasty, and a goodplace to start when mak-ing homemade Kimchi. Iplan on making this onFox 19’s morning showfor Rob Williams, whoabsolutely loves Kimchi.

Mild Kimchi1 head Chinese or

Napa cabbage, about 3pounds, cut into 2” pieces

1 Daikon radish, about4”, peeled and thinlysliced

1 carrot, thinly sliced1/2 cup pickling salt

4 garlic cloves,minced

2 tablespoons Koreanchili paste or 2 teaspoonsChinese chili paste/saucewith garlic

1 teaspoon peeledminced fresh ginger root==

1 teaspoon sugar or totaste (I think you couldsubstitute honey)

Combine cabbage,radish, carrot and salt inbowl. Mix to combine andadd ice water to cover.Let stand for 2 to 6 hours.

Drain, reservingbrine. Add garlic, chiipaste, ginger and sugarand mix well, usinghands.

Pack into 2 quart can-ning jar. Add enoughreserved brine to cover

and fill to top of jar. Cov-er to exclude air.

Set jar on saucer tocatch overflow that hap-pens when fermentationbegins. Store in dark,cool place.

Begin tasting after 1day, and refrigerate up to5 days. It will continue toage and develop flavor.Keeps several months.

Tip from Rita’s kitch-en: Go to taste on flavor-ings. I like it spicy sowould use more chilipaste.

My favoriteguacamole

This has a smoky fla-vor due to the chipotlepeppers. Nice for SuperBowl coming up.

3 large ripe Hass avo-

cados - peeled, pitted andscooped out

2 limes, juiced1 teaspoon salt1/2 cup diced red onion Chopped cilantro to

taste3/4 teaspoon cumin or

to taste1 minced clove garlic

or more to tasteChipotle peppers in

adobo to taste (puree infood processor and thenstore in frig or freezer;this is much easier tomeasure out than thewhole peppers in sauce)

2 Roma tomatoes,diced

Mash the avocadosvery gently with potatomasher. Some people laythe avocado down flatand cut it into very small

pieces. Regardless, youdon’t want to overmashor it will become soupy.

Stir in lime juice totaste, and salt. Stir inonion, cilantro, cumin,garlic, peppers. Stir intomatoes. Serve withchips.

Tips from Rita’skitchen:

Ripening avocados.Although avocados aremature when pickedfrom the tree, they arenot ripe. Place in paperbag. This traps the ethyl-ene gas they produce andhelps to ripen. It willripen at room temper-ature in 3-5 days. Skincolor will darken andflesh underneath will bea bit soft.

Hass. These comefrom California with abuttery texture. The skinis tough and durable —ideal for shipping, andfor use as a scooping cupwhen removing flesh.

Hall. From Floridaand are bright green,smooth skinned avoca-dos.

Good for you: Loadedwith potassium, folicacid, vitamins C and E,also fiber and hearthealthy monounsaturatedfat.

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

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

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

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

choose to di-rect thosefunds for oth-er priorities atthe expense ofneglecting thehealth ser-vices only aschool nursecan deliver.

All ele-mentary

schools must have some kindof care facility for the stu-dents they serve.

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

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

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

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

A major role of a schoolnurse involves the organiza-tion and dispensation of medi-cations. In a typical elemen-tary school with a studentpopulation of five hundredstudents at least 15 percent, or75 children, will need to takemedication each day. By lawthe meds must be stored in asecure facility and adminis-tered by a designated staffmember.

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

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

students physical growth andto make referrals for follow-upcare.

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

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

School nurses endangered in some Ohio districts

Noel TaylorCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Jan. 7 questionWhat should be the top priorities

for the Republican-controlled Con-gress (House and Senate)?

“Changing the public percep-tion and information about whylegislation is not acted upon. TheAmerican people are tired of theConstitution being ignored. Aftereliminating the hideous tax ofObamacare, legislation to ensurenew employment should be thetop priority. This would mean,among many other things, a viablemeans for companies to providehealth care benefits, possibly theKeystone Pipeline, and certainlyan agreement to publish and readall legislation before voting. Re-quiring legislation to describe itsbasis in the Constitution would bea great start.”

D.B.

“To abolish Obamacare, put inKeystone Pipeline, to have con-

trol of our borders, and allow ourcountry the right to have the 10Commandments back in ourschools and courtrooms.”

Mary Ann Maloney

“Do something! We pay thesepeople far too much to do nothing.If we wanted nothing done for alot of public money, we would justhire Mike Brown.”

M.J.F.

I am hoping that the new Con-gress can finally do something(anything) this year. These lastseveral Congresses have been sodivided that nothing moved for-ward. I hope they move on the def-icit spending and the national debtwhich are out of control. Secondlythey could approve the KeystonePipeline to get the U.S. and Cana-dian shale oil to refineries moresafely. Now with the cheaper gas(temporarily) increase the feder-al excise tax paid at the pump to

help fix the highways and bridgesacross the United States. Myguess is we will have two moreyears of nothing much being ac-complished.

“The Congress is much like theUN; there is a lot of talk but veryfew results. Never have so manydone so little for so long. Go fig-ure!”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONSSome people have criticized recentschool closings due to cold weather.What do you think about the prac-tice of canceling classes when themercury dips?

Every week we ask readers a question theycan reply to via email. Send your answers tohilltoppress@community press.com withCh@troom in the subject line.

The obvious increase in ad-vertisements for weight lossprograms, gym membershipsand smoking cessation plans canmean only one thing; the NewYear must be here!

It is human nature to assessour lives during such a time,including deciding what im-provements are needed. Un-fortunately, experts estimatethat only about 15 percent ofNew Year’s resolutions achieveany level of success. So why areresolutions so popular and yet soineffective?

In most cases, what we wish tochange about our self is a worthygoal; lose weight, get in bettershape, stop smoking, stop drink-ing alcohol, or stop spending somuch money. In reality however,many of our negative behaviorsare rooted in either an addiction(alcohol, gambling, sex, smok-ing), or result from a previoustrauma or current stressor.

How many of us, for example,eat more when we are stressedor unhappy? The issue thereforeis not about losing weight, butrather is about what is causingus to eat more. In reality, addic-tions, and trauma or stress relat-ed behaviors cannot be over-come by shear will-power. Mostserious behavioral modificationrequires intentional treatment

and strategicplanning.

So does thatmean we shouldgive up on NewYear’s resolu-tions and thehope of chang-ing our life forthe better? Ab-solutely not!Positive changecan occur and

here are some ways to take thechance out of change.

» Keep a short list. Most of uscreate too many resolutions andare quickly discouraged becausewe are overwhelmed by all thatneeds done.

» Be specific in what you wantto change. Most goals are toobroad and difficult to measure.For example, most of us want tolose weight. A better way tophrase it is to lose 15 pounds byMay 1.

» Create a strategic plan toreach your goal. If your resolu-tion is to improve your computerskills during the next year, thenbe intentional. Enroll in a com-puter class, build a library ofreference manuals, and findsomeone who can answer yourquestions.

» Modify your habits. Chang-ing major behaviors often begins

by changing smaller intrinsichabits. If you are trying to loseweight but stop at the bakery onthe way home two or three timesa week, take a different routehome. When you crave a snack,substitute fruit for sweets.

» Identify impulsive behav-iors. We are more vulnerable toimpulsive decisions when welose track of our goals. If you aretrying to save money, don’t goshopping for fun. And if youmust go to the store, have a spe-cific list of items you need toavoid the impulse to buy otherthings you want.

» Celebrate small victories.Track your progress and cele-brate the incremental positivechanges that are occurring alongthe way.

» Recognize when you needhelp. Some changes require theassistance of trained profession-als. Don’t hesitate to seek thehelp of doctors, counselors, or aspiritual leader for issues toocomplex for us to handle on ourown.

Why New Year’s resolutions don’t work

Gary LeeCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

We all get the winterblahs from time to time.For some, though, it’smore than just a bluemood. By some estimates,as much as 20 percent ofthe population suffersfrom a mild to moderateform of Seasonal Affec-tive Disorder (SAD) orwinter depression.

Older adults are at par-ticular risk – almost onein seven people over theage of 65 are thought toexhibit signs of clinicaldepression, according tomental health experts.

What is SeasonalAffective Disorder?

Seasonal AffectiveDisorder (SAD) is a set ofsymptoms, including de-pression and unpredict-able mood swings, whichoccur when ambient lightlevels diminish duringthe fall and winter as thesun moves progressivelylower in the sky. The de-pression and moodswings are often associat-ed with a dip in the serumblood level of serotonin, aneurotransmitter thathelps to regulate mood,and melatonin, a seroto-nin-derived neurotrans-mitter that regulatessleep patterns.

Mammals (includinghumans) have an area ofthe brain called the pinealgland, which regulatesthe production of melato-nin. Some researchers be-lieve that this region ofthe brain is able to detectsmall changes in ambientlight and sun angle overtime, and thus upregulateor down regulate thebrain’s serotonin and mel-atonin production.

Some researchers be-lieve that people who suf-fer SAD may simply havean overly active pinealgland, or may produceless serotonin on averagethan a person without thecondition. Either way, it isa serious, life-affecting

problem for many people.

What you can doto beat thewinter blues

The keys to feeling bet-ter are getting more lightand more exercise. If theweather isn’t too cold oricy, take a stroll for 20-30minutes twice a day. Ifyou can’t get out, draw upthe blinds and open shut-ters over windows to al-low more ambient sun-light into your home.

If you have a fireplace,use it. Sitting in front ofan evening fire on cold,dark winter nights mayhelp to keep your melato-nin production normal-ized. If that doesn’t help,there are special lighttherapy devices that SADsufferers can use to helpreduce symptoms.

Serotonin re-uptake-inhibiting medicines(SSRIs) like Prozac andZoloft can also be helpfulin breaking severe de-pressive cycles, but thesemedications must becarefully monitored by adoctor. You cannot simplystart and stop them atwill. They take severalweeks to build to effec-tive levels, and you mustalso wean off them gradu-ally.

Moderate exercise in-creases serum serotoninand also triggers the pro-duction of the pain-reliev-ing hormone dopamine. Aregular indoor exerciseprogram can help reducethe symptoms of depres-sion and even alleviatesome chronic pain. Notonly can seniors combatthe winter blues, they canincrease their overallwellness and strength,just by getting more ac-tive.

NORTH COLLEGE HILL —Normally, when a team solidi-fies a top spot or ranking, itsplayers know about it.

For Aiken High School,they’re unaware and reallydon’t care that they’re the No.1 team in The Enquirer Divi-sions II-IV area coaches’ poll.

“I’ve never even brought itup,” Aiken coach Leon Ellisonsaid regarding his team’sranking. “That rankingdoesn’t mean anything. I see abunch of teams in that top-10that can all beat up on eachother.”

If you ask Ellison, it’s prob-ably for the best his teamdoesn’t place any stock inearly season successes.They’re a young team andthey prefer to limit any dis-tractions that could hijacktheir focus.

At 7-3 overall and 2-0 in theCincinnati Metro AthleticConference as of Jan. 9, theFalcons have been impres-sive early but their confer-ence schedule is about to heatup. Taft (No. 2), Woodward(No. 3) and Shroder (No. 6)

are all ranked teams on thecoaches’ poll and they’re all inthe CMAC.

“We’re running into thetough part of our schedule,”Ellison said. “It may be diffi-cult to get through but it willhelp.”

Six of Aiken’s next sevenopponents are currentlyranked teams. The Falconsare trying to soar on youngwings; there’s just three sen-iors on the roster, led byguard Damon Harris.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. — St. Xavi-er High School has been pleas-antly surprised early on thisbasketball season.

Coming into the year, theBombers weren’t sure whatthey would have. They lost a lotof from the year before. Whatthey found, this year, is a teamthat can play pretty well togeth-er. They’re still gathering infor-mation and learning about oneanother. But, at 6-2, they seemto be gelling nicely.

“We didn’t know what to ex-pect from anybody because welost so many guys from lastyear,” said St. Xavier coachScott Martin.

The Bombers had just onereturning starter back this sea-son, 6-foot-1 senior guard JackWesterfield.

The difference, so far, with afresh group has been energyand unselfishness.

“The guys have really comealong, they’re sharing the bas-ketball and playing unselfish”Martin said. “They play reallyhard. They put a lot of energyout there and try to get every-thing they can.”

For the most part, they’vedone it with defense, lacking atrue scorer offensively. Wester-field leads St. X with 8.5 pointsper game.

“That (scoring) is a majorchallenge for us,” Martin said.“We’re more of a team trying togo to the guy that’s hot in thatgame.”

Without a real threat, St. Xhas spread the points amongJames Heskett (8.3 ppg), SamMartin (7.5 ppg), Josh Theis (6.8ppg) and Joe Schroeder (5.6ppg), whom coach Martin saidhas been a real nice surprise.

The process of learningabout each other and the teamhas been a positive for theBombers.

“We’re kind of learningwhich combinations are bestfor us and what positions guyscan play,” said Martin. “We’vebeen doing that and graduallyfinding out what we do well andwhat we need to work.”

Throughout the process, St.X has won three close games.Martin likes that. The coachsaid that being able to win closegames is something that can’tbe coached. It’s a sign that ateam is mentally tough and hasconfidence.

Martin knows those closegames mostly resemble thetype of games that remain onthe schedule.

The Bombers are about tobeing the treacherous part oftheir schedule, Greater Catho-lic League South action. Cur-rently, the GCL South is a com-bined 28-8 and St. X openedleague play hosting La Salle onJan. 9.

“We know we’re getting intothat part of the schedule wherewe’re playing top-10 teams inthe city and maybe the state,”Martin said. “It’s good to seewhere we stand. I think we’reup there but we’re not consis-tent enough in the scoring.”

Longtime PrincetonHigh School wrestlingcoach Ty Robbins has toget Walnut Hills HighSchool wrestling coachEmmerson Mincy on thephone from time to time totry out a new joke or two.

Robbins does somestandup comedy on theside and seeks the adviceof his buddy from theMount Healthy Class of1985 and his former co-captain on the Owls wres-tling team.

“All the time,” Mincysaid, laughing. “I guesshe’s an amateur come-dian, so he’s always doingthat.

“When he tells me ajoke, I start to think aboutwhat kind of an audiencethis joke would be goodfor. You can have a funnyjoke, but how are you go-ing to deliver that andwhat kind of audience isgoing to think that’s fun-ny?”

Jokes aside, the pairtalks a lot of wrestling,too, and guide their pro-grams based on their ex-periences on the mats atMount Healthy.

“We were friends andstill are,” Robbins said.“We call each other everyother day just to discusswrestling and if he has aquestion that has some-thing to do with wrestling,he’ll contact me or I’ll justcontact him to see howhe’s doing and how his twoboys are doing.”

Robbins has spent 26years as a wrestlingcoach, including the last14 at Princeton. Mincy be-gan coaching by organiz-ing a youth club in MountHealthy when his twosons were ready to startwrestling. Later, he start-ed a club team at WalnutHills and eventuallyhelped to resurrect theWalnut program as thehigh school head coach – a

job he has held for threeyears.

“When you stop andlook at everybody whowent through MountHealthy under (coachDave) Merkle, a lot ofthem coach now,” Rob-bins said. “You’ve got meand Emmerson, who arehead coaches. You’ve gotJeff Byrd, who is an assis-tant at La Salle. You’ve gotJacque Boggs, who is anassistant at La Salle. Aar-on Gibson coaches withme at Princeton. Thereare a lot of Mount Healthygrads who are coachingwrestling.”

Other Mt. Healthywrestlers from that erawho have gone on to coachwrestling and othersports include SeanGeers, Micahel Byrd, Vic-tor Delong, Eric Walkerand Gene Williams.

Robbins said that was atestament to the coachingthey received under headcoaches Merkle and Kev-in Keller in the early- tomid-1980s. Mincy remem-bers lessons that beganeven before competinghimself when he watchedhis brother wrestle atMount Healthy.

“At that time, DaveMerkle was the coach,”Mincy said. “I wouldwatch him not only gothrough rigorous prac-tices, but also give theguys something to thinkabout. He would alwaystell them about his ownlife and tell them abouthow your decisions noware going to effect whatyou do in the future. So Ilearned a lot by watchingthem do that.”

Those lessons are stillbeing passed on.

“Come to practice ev-ery day, work hard andhave a mental toughnessthat will carry you, notonly through wrestling,but will also carry youthrough life when timesget tough,” Robbins said.“My hat’s off to those guysfor not taking it easy onme and really pushing meto my full potential.”

Robbins knew he want-ed to get into coaching

right away and has spenttime at Mount Healthyand Taylor as a coach be-fore ending up at Prince-ton. He has only had twoyears since graduation inwhich he has not beencoaching.

Mincy’s route to be-coming a head coach fol-lowed the wrestling ca-reers of his sons Randalland Quinton from theMount Healthy youth clubhe started to Walnut Hills.Randall Mincy graduatedfrom Walnut and is nowplaying football at WestVirginia State. QuintonMincy is a sophomorewrestler at Walnut.

“He really cares aboutthe team,” Quinton Mincysaid. “He always takestime to show the guys themoves and if someonedoesn’t get it, he alwayshelps them out. He’s like arole model.”

Emmerson Mincy hasdedicated time, moneyand effort to keeping theresurgent Walnut Hillsprogram going for hiswrestlers.

“Just two weeks ago hehad the Walnut Hills Invi-tational and spent thenight before until 1 or 2 inthe morning getting wres-tling mats so the matswould be there for thetournament,” Robbinssaid. “And then he spentMonday after the tourna-ment returning the matsfrom the different schoolsthat he had to borrow themats from. There are nota lot of coaches who wouldput that time and effort in.That’s how dedicated heis.”

Those efforts help getCoach Mincy where bothhe and Robbins like to be— helping their wrestlerssucceed on and off themat.

“Just put them in aplace where they’re confi-dent,” Emmerson Mincysaid. “They’ve workedand they have the skill.You want to get to a placewhere everybody is confi-dent that what they havelearned in practice is goodenough for them to be suc-cessful on the mat.”

While many of theirclassmates were at homeover winter break, Cin-cinnati United Premier’sU18 Gold boys team wasin Orlando, earning an-other major showcasechampionship and a spotin the 2015 national cham-pionship.

During group play atthe Disney Sports Show-case on Dec. 28, the squadearned a return trip to theU.S. Youth Soccer Nation-al Championships, to beheld in Oklahoma thissummer. This marks thesecond-straight year theteam earned its berth tonationals at the Disneytournament. They havesecured their spot in Tul-sa, where NationalLeague championshipplay will begin on July 21.

“It is always satisfyingto achieve your majorgoal so early,” said headcoach Terry Nicholl, alsothe head coach at SevenHills. “It takes the pres-sure off State Cup and Re-gionals even though thosetwo events are also in ourtargets and goals.”

With national qualify-ing pressure off enteringthe Disney title match,CUP cruised to a 7-0 win.This U18 team, which Ni-choll has coached sincethey played at the U15level, has now qualifiedfor the national champi-onship in three of the pastfour seasons. Last year,they fell in overtime ofthe National Leaguechampionship semifinalsto FC Dallas.

“The success of thisteam can really only be

attributed to the boysthemselves, their fam-ilies, and of course headcoach Terry Nicholl,”CUP senior boys Directorof Coaching Scott Bowersaid. “We are proud oftheir accomplishmentson the field but also howthey handle themselvesaway from the nationalcompetitions that get themost exposure. The truestrengths of Terry’s pro-gram is what the boys getthrough the vehicle ofsoccer as a sport.”

The communicationbetween defenders MaxPochobradsky (SevenHills) and Brady Daulton(Mason), playing togeth-er for the first time, ele-vated the squad. For-wards Luke Treadway

(Scott) and David Jeffries(Waynesville) led the of-fensive attack.

“(Our defenders) cov-ered each other perfectly.The anchor midfield wassuperb,” said Nicholl.“The wingers were effec-tive and dynamic. (Ourforwards) were at theirbest. We had solid goal-keeping. Our interplay,passing and scoring wasof a high order.”

This marks the fourthyear in a row that a CUPteam has qualified for na-tionals, and the fifth yearin a row that a CUP teamhas won a championshipat the Disney showcase.CUP’s girls U16 Goldteam nearly joined theU18 boys as Disneychamps, but fell 2-1 in

overtime to nationalchampion JFC (Fla.) inthe Disney final. The nextCUP team with an oppor-tunity to qualify for na-tionals is the U14 girlssquad, which could quali-fy in March with its playin the final event of theNational League seasonin Las Vegas.

Thanks to their highlevel of play in the earlystages of the NationalLeague season, the U18Gold boys team can enjoytheir time to recover be-fore gearing up for theirnext big tournament. Todate, nine members of thesquad have committed toplay college soccer in2015.

“Momentum is not akey factor at this time as

the players have earned amuch needed five weekbreak. Most of the play-ers went straight fromhigh school into NationalLeague play, so they haveearned a rest,” said Ni-choll. “The fact that wehave now qualified forNationals in late Julymeans that we will be get-ting our players ready forcollege preseason as well.We will be playing top-notch national teams justbefore they report intotheir collegiate pro-grams.”

Next on the schedule isMidwest RegionalLeague play beginning inFebruary, with a trip toRichmond, Va. for theJefferson Cup in earlyMarch.

CUP Gold BU18 soccer earns national bidBy Adam [email protected]

THANKS TO LISA WIEDMANN

The CUP Gold BU18 team advanced to the 2015 national championship at the Dec. 28 Disney Sports Showcase. They are, fromleft: Back, J.J. Iroh (Mason), Brady Daulton (Mason), Will Cohen (CCD), Daniel Bundschuh (Walnut Hills), Alex Besl (St. X), PeterCinibulk (Bellbrook), Mohammed Elmardi (Lakota East), Nate Gibson (CCD), Max Pochobradsky (Seven Hills), Coach TerryNicholl; Front, Dan Schleitweiler (Lakota East), Brennon Shanks (Sycamore), David Jefferies (Waynesville), Luke Treadway(Scott), Ethan Roser (Mason), Bryce Curran (Mason), Connor Wagner (Loveland), Logan Wiedmann (Walnut Hills).

Harris (12.1 points pergame) is one of three Fal-cons averaging in doublefigures scoring. He’sjoined by junior CarlikJones (18.6) and sopho-more Lonnie Berry (12.1).Jones, who ranks third inscoring in the CMAC andfirst in free throw per-centage (85.7), has beencoached by Ellison sincehe was 5 years old.

“He’s like having acoach on the floor,” Elli-son said of Jones.

Those three have donea lot to help Aiken tra-verse some growingpains.

“Our three losses arefrom being young,” saidEllison.

Their first loss, 48-37 atLa Salle, was a learningexperience.

“The atmosphere (atLa Salle) was a little toobig for my guys,” Ellisonsaid. “We’re going to be insome big environmentsand come tournamenttime, we’ll be tested.”

Ellison said he sched-ules it that way on pur-pose. He wants the Fal-cons to face tough oppo-nents in tough gyms, tosee how they handle it,and see what they canlearn about themselves.

Part of what the Fal-cons have learned, andwhat Ellison has empha-sized, is to make the sim-ple play.

“Some guys try tomake a spectacular playand do too much,” said El-lison. “I want them tomake the simple play. Icall it the hockey pass-…move it (the ball) ontothe next guy. Once we dothat, we’ll be pretty good.”

Winter weatherenergy-saving tips

During times of ex-treme temperatures, cus-tomers will use more pow-er, which generally resultsin a higher bill.

Electric heating andcooling can account for asmuch as half of an energybill, so controlling the

home’s thermostat is oneof the best ways to man-age energy usage and cost.

Customers can save 10percent a year on heatingand cooling bills by simplyturning the thermostatback by 10 to 15 degreesfor eight hours a day. Asan alternative, installing aprogrammable thermo-stat.

Additional steps cus-tomers can take to man-age their energy demandand reduce their energybills:

» Set ceiling fans in aclockwise direction topush warm air down intorooms.

» Open drapes andblinds to allow the sun towarm rooms during theday. Close them at night.

» Change heating-sys-tem air filters. Dirty airfilters make heating sys-tems work harder, whichuses more energy.
