Mount Healthy voters arebeing asked to renew a roadlevy on the August ballot thatthe city relies on to keep upwith street repairs in the
city.The levy
will be Issue 2on the Aug. 4ballot.
The 1.5-milllevy generatesabout $108,400annually, andcity managerBill Kocher
says that money is whatmakes it possible for the cityto apply for and receive stategrants that get big road reha-bilitation projects done.
We could not do the bigprojects without grant mon-ey, and we cant get thatgrant money unless we havesome money for matchingfunds, he said. This allowsus to literally triple our in-vestment and we have to beable to continue to do this.
David Nurre, assistant di-rector of finance for theHamilton County AuditorsOffice, said the owner of a$100,000 home has been pay-ing $45.01 annually for thislevy. That wont change if
voters renew it.What will change is that
the levy would no longer be afive-year tax issue, butwould become a continuinglevy if approved. Kochersays a continuing levy meansthe city wont have to con-tinue bringing the issue backto voters every five years.
This is just like the firelevy voters recently ap-proved, Kocher said. Thislevy makes it possible for usto continue giving residentsthe level of service we cur-rently provide, he said. Itstabilizes the money avail-able for street repair.
He said just having a ded-icated road levy gives thecity points when its applyingfor grants. And it helps main-tain the citys 31.2 lane miles.
City officials are passingresolutions this month thatwould allow them to put thelevy on the ballot in the Nov.3 election if the levy fails inAugust.
We were thrilled with thesupport we saw for the firelevy, Kocher said. But thetight timeline to get this onthe ballot in November if itfails in August means wehave to get everything readynow. We would have to fileliterally the day after theelection if it fails.

Its summer vacation. Whenschool lets out for the summer,students are skipping classes,tests and homework.
Thanks to a US Departmentof Agriculture program, theydont have to skip meals, as well.
The Summer Food ServiceProgram offered through theOhio Department of Educationprovides free meals to low-in-come children during school va-cations. The ODE says through-out the United States, more than26 million children eat schoollunch every day when school isin session. Half of them receivetheir meals free or at a reducedprice due to low household in-come.
The Summer Food ServiceProgram offers youngsters nu-tritious food when school is notin session. Last summer, Ohioserved 3.8 million meals at 1,624sites operated by 191sponsoringorganizations.
Winton Woods City Schools isone of those sites. The district isproviding free breakfast andlunch to children during thesummer.
Meals are served at WintonWoods Intermediate School, 825
Waycross Road in Forest Park,Monday through Fridaythrough July 31. No service willbe provided on July 3.
"Summer vacation can pre-sent a different reality formany children, Steve Denny,director of Business affairs,said. There are cases wherechildren and families have lim-ited access to basic needs suchas healthy food. The summerlunch program can help bridgethis gap and help create a morewholesome summertime expe-rience for our youth and ourcommunity.
Under the national program,free meals are served to chil-dren whose family income is ator below 130 percent of the pov-erty level, which was defined in2014 as income at or below
$30,615 for a family of four.Children whose family incomeis $43,568 for a family of fourare entitled to reduced lunchprices.
The meals are served at Win-ton Woods Intermediate School,825 Waycross Road Mondaythrough Friday, through July 31,with theexception of July 3.Breakfast is served from 8:15 to9 a.m., and lunch is availablefrom noon to 1 p.m. Food mustbe eaten on site.
All children up to age 18 (upto age 21 with an IEP) both in-side and outside the WintonWoods School District are wel-come. This program is fundedby the U.S. Department of Agri-culture. Each year, the U.S.D.A.

For some, the SupremeCourt decision allowingsame-sex marriage in all50 states was a long timecoming and agonizing towait for.
When you considersome civil rights took dec-ades and centuries to berecognized, this was veryfast, said Pastor DougSlagle. If you were wait-ing to be married, it was along time coming.
Slagle, who is gay, ispastor to The Gathering atNorthern Hills UnitarianUniversalist Fellowshipon Fleming Road inSpringfield Township. Hesays the decision is a bigleap forward in treatingmembers of the LGBTQcommunity as any otherAmericans.
The LGBTQ commu-nity is proud of our coun-try and I have had faith inour justice system, hesaid. As Martin LutherKing, Jr. said, The arc ofthe moral universe islong, but it bends towardjustice. This decisionconfirms his propheticwords.
Slagle says UnitarianUniversalist churcheshave historically held thatthere are many pathspaths to God. We all have
the right to have our be-liefs respected, honored,and heard, he said. Werespect people of allfaiths, and that will con-tinue to be our message.
He says he recognizesthat everyone is not cele-brating the decision. Wedont want to alienatethose who are happyabout the decision fromthose who were disap-pointed, he said. We willagree to disagree in a lov-ing and respectful man-ner.
And move forward.Slagle says he and his con-gregation were hopeful
the decision would be fa-vorable, so they prepared,and the Gathering is forg-ing ahead now same sexcouples can legally wed.
Theres interest. Slaglesays hes already beencontacted by same-sexcouples who want to getmarried.
The procedure forweddings, same-sex ortraditional, will be thesame. The couple willmeet with the pastor andSlagle will get to knowthem. They will talk abouttheir reasons for wantingto marry They are usu-ally beautiful reasons,Slagle said. Then they willtalk about what supports agood marriage. Opencommunication. Trust.All of those things, hesaid.
Slagle has joined about100 couple in marriage.He performed his firstsame-sex union a coupleof weeks ago. The couplehad to drive to Indiana forthe legal part of the cere-mony, then had their wed-ding solemnized at hischurch.
Now we dont have todo that anymore, he said.We will never have to dothat again.
Not all churches em-braced the SupremeCourts runling. The Arch-diocese of CincinnatiArchbishop, the Rev. Den-nis Schnurr, disagreedwith the decision, sayingin a prepared statementthat the Supreme Courthas redefined marriageby judicial fiat.
In doing so, it has dis-regarded not only theclearly expressed will ofthe electorate in Ohio andother states, but also anunderstanding of mar-riage that was shared byvirtually all cultures --secular as well as reli-gious -- until recently.
The Gathering will cel-ebrate the decision by giv-ing away some services.Slagle says the churchsmarriage ceremonies arenon-sectarian and affirmuniversal ideals of loveand equality consistentwith people of all spiritualbeliefs.
On the weekend ofJuly 10-12, we will offer alimited number of freemarriage services min-ister and building tosame-sex couples, hesaid. Like all UnitarianUniversalist churches,we stand on the side oflove.
Interested persons may con-tact Slagle through the churchand arrange for a scheduledceremony at a mutuallyagreed day and time at 513-931-6651.

partners with local or-ganizations like WintonWoods City Schools toprovide free lunch tochildren when school isout for the summer.
For more informationabout the National Sum-mer Food Service Pro-gram, visit bit.ly/Sum-merTimeLunch. Infor-mation is also availableon the district website atwww.wintonwoods.org.
The Mount HealthyCity School District isalso participating in theSummer Food ServiceProgram. Meals will beprovided to all childrenwithout charge and arethe same for all childrenregardless of race, color,national origin, sex, ageor disability, and therewill be no discriminationin the course of the mealservice. :
Breakfast is served atMount Healthy South El-ementary School, 7900Werner Ave. from 9 to9:30 a.m. and lunch isserved from 11:30 a.m. to12:30 p.m. 9 a.m.-9:30 a.mMondays through Thurs-days. The meal programends July 30.
Lunch is served atMount Healthy Junior/Senior High School, 8101Hamilton Ave. from 11:30a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Mon-days through Thursdaysthrough July 30. SouthElementary School cafe-teria superintendentBeverly Reynolds saysshe is seeing about 191daily for lunch and be-tween 60 and 80 studentseach day for breakfast.
Zach Whittle, directorof the nonprofit 321 Zonebrings the 30 youngsterswho participate in his or-ganziations summerprogram over to eat eachday.
Its great, he said.A huge help. We are ableto use the money wewould have to spend onproviding lunches to payfor activities for ourkids.
Cincinnati PublicSchools also participatesin the Summer Food Ser-vice Program. While thevast majority of studentswho receive free break-fast and lunch are en-rolled in summer educa-tional programs, thesummer feeding pro-gram is open to all chil-dren in the district,whether they are attend-ing a summer learningsession or simply takingthe summer off.
Its an important pro-gram, Jessica Shelly,food services directorfor Cincinnati Public,said. I think thats whatwe have to keep in mind.Just because school isout doesnt mean kidsstop being hungry.
She said the districtpartners with the Cincin-nati Recreation Commis-sion and area libraries toprovide the meals to areachildren.
Breakfast and lunch isserved at all districtschools during their re-spective summer ses-sions, and she said lunchis provided at communi-ty recreation centers,pools and libraries fromJune 2 through Aug. 7.Free meals are availableMonday through Fridayto children ages 18 andyounger, as well as stu-dents ages 19 to 21 whoare mentally or physical-ly disabled.
Shelly said the districthas offered a summerfeeding program formore than 40 years, andthis summer they havemore than 80 sites wherechildren can receivemeals.
We usually serveabout 4,000 to 5,000 stu-dents a day during thesummer, she said.Compare that to about25,000 during the schoolyear, just for CPS stu-dents. Its a pale compar-ison to what we do duringthe school year and thatswhat were trying to im-prove, nationwide.
She said the district isworking to spread theword about it summerprogram to ensure morechildren are able to gethealthy meals whenschool is not in sessionbecause there is a greatneed for it.
Schools arent theonly place kids can turnfor free lunches. To helpfill the nutritional gapwhich free and reduced-cost lunches help allevi-ate during the schoolyear, the Public Libraryof Cincinnati and Hamil-ton County is partnerswith Cincinnati PublicSchools and Window ArtsEnrichment and also pro-vides free summer
lunches to children ages18 and under Mondaythrough Friday, throughAug. 7. Due to the July 4holiday, lunch will not beserved Friday, July 3.
Windows Art Enrich-ment is a nonprofit groupthat has been involvedwith the lunch summerlunch program for morethan five years becauseworkers regularly sawhungry kids at programsand projects they werepresenting. In addition tothe library lunches, WAEalso provides mealsthrough community cen-ters and churches in theGreater Cincinnati area,such as the St. Mark Mis-sionary Baptist Churchin Mount Healthy.
For more informationabout Window Arts En-richment, and lunch loca-tions, visit windowart-senrichment.org.
In 2014, more than18,704 meals wereserved at the library lo-cations, an increase of 36percent from the 13,741meals served in 2013.The College Hill Branchsaw the biggest lunchcrowds, averaging 55participants per day andserving 3,385 meals.

JULY 1, 2015 HILLTOP PRESS 5ANEWS
The garden events inmy herb garden havebeen going on for a cou-ple of weeks now, and oneof the drinks I alwaysserve is my spa waterwith peppermint, lemonand stevia, the sugarsubstitute herb. Ive had
so manyrequests toshare therecipe soIve fine-tuned it tomake iteasy foryou tomake athome.
Spawater is
hydrating, not to mentiondelicious. Both the pep-permint and the lemonprovide a good amount ofvitamin C, excellent forimmune systems, amongother things. The steviasweetens the drink butyou can use any sweet-ener you like or none atall. I like to serve this tothe kids, as well. Theylove the taste and I knowtheyre getting hydrated,as well.
Be adventurous; tryadding mint to savorydishes, along with using itto sweeten and flavordrinks.
Anybody can growmint, and since this pe-rennial herb is invasive,plant it in a pot.
Tips from Ritaskitchen: Keepingkids hydrated.
So important especial-ly during this hot weatheror when theyre in sports,since a childs body takeslonger to adjust to heat
and humidity. Spa wateris refreshing and health-ful for them.
1. Kids produce morebody heat but dont sweatas much as adults so inhot weather they are atincreased risk for de-hydration.
2. In the body, water
works as a shock absorb-er protecting joints.
3. Cold water is ab-sorbed best and kids willdrink more if its cold somake sure the spa waterhas ice or has been refrig-erated.

Fresh garden herbs means spa water, garlic breadRitas spa water
The only two things you really need are fresh mint andfresh lemons. The limes are optional but very nice. If you dontuse limes, use about 4 lemons. The rest of ingredients areoptional. (You know how I like to gild the lily.). If all youhave is spearmint, use that. Spearmint is a bit sweeter in tasteand milder in flavor.
1 cup loosely packed fresh peppermint leaves2 lemons, thinly sliced2 limes, thinly sliced1 generous quart or so of water12 to 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries and/or edible
flowers*Sliced fruit, mint leaves, and/or edible flowers (optional)
Sweetener
Place mint leaves in a 2-quart pitcher, gently bruising theleaves with a wooden spoon to release volatile oils. Add lemonand lime slices. Bruise a bit to release flavor. Add water; stir. Letstand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Stir in the berriesand/or edible flowers. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for upto 6 hours.
To serve, strain Spa Water into a pitcher; discard fruit. Ifdesired, add additional fresh fruit, mint leaves, and/or edibleflowers to the pitcher. Serve over ice if desired. Pass sweetener.
*Check out my website Abouteating.com, for a list ofedible flowers, or tune into Ron Wilsons radio show at 7 a.m.on Saturday, July 4, on 55WKRC. Ill be sharing informationabout them.
FYI, make sure the flowers are not only edible, but with-out insecticides, etc. Dont use floral shop flowers.
Garlic bread butter
This is so good alongside a plate of spaghetti & meatballsor grilled steak.
1 stick butter, softened2-4 cloves garlic, mincedMinced rosemary to taste, fresh or dried - start with 1/2
teaspoonSqueeze or two of lemon juice (optional but good)Baked garlic bread
Slice open lengthwise a loaf of Italian bread withoutcutting all the way through. Open it like a book, and spreadgarlic butter on both sides, then sprinkle on some Parmesancheese. Close the loaf, and slice into horizontal slices, but dontcut into the closed spine. Wrap in foil (this can be done a dayahead and kept in the frig). Bake in preheated 375 degreeoven about 15 minutes or until hot. Then open the loaf andrun it under the broiler, cheese side up until golden.
Freeze it! Make several batches, roll into logs, wrap andfreeze.
THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD
Sipping spa water not only hydrates, but also gives the imbiber a dose of Vitamin C.

June 24 questionIf you could show visitors to
Cincinnati for the All Star Gameone location that best repre-sents the area, what would it beand why?
Thats a really tough call.Im not native to the area, butI tell everyone they need tosee Findlay Market, on a Sat-urday especially, and sincethey would be at the All-StarGame, be certain to walkaround The Banks and SmalePark. Like Leipzig, Moscow,Paris, Mexico City and theHampshire region of England,there are more than a fewbeautiful churches and cathe-drals, worthy of photos inCincinnati.
Now that the Stanley Cupis safely in a true HockeyClub for this year, (Cmon
Blue Jackets or Pens) Im notgoing to have much to watchuntil September.

Vine Street in Over-the-Rhine best showcases thetransformation of the city,historic architecture andthriving foodie scene.

THIS WEEKSQUESTIONHow do you feel about remov-ing Confederate flags andother symbols of the Confeder-acy? Are there any steps youthink should be consideredhere in Greater Cincinnati?
Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers [email protected] withCh@troom in the subject line.
Much has been said of lateabout immigrants voting ille-gally in Ohio.
As an immigrant, this in-terests me for a number ofreasons. Firstly, when I ar-rived here as a legal resident,my children were taught allabout no taxation withoutrepresentation.
As I was paying all mytaxes, including local proper-ty taxes, I inquired if I couldvote for anything. I was askedif I was a US citizen. I an-swered no, and was told Icould not. End of story. WhenI became a U.S. citizen I wasgiven detailed information onhow to register to vote, anddid so, easily.
So what is the moral here?Well, first we should be teach-ing our children no taxation
without repre-sentationshould betaught withrather a largeasterisk afterit (i.e. Exceptresidents ofD.C. and legalforeign resi-dents) Sec-ondly, Mr.John Husted
and every Board of Electionsin Ohio should be asking theright questions and check-ing the answers. The problemis not only that these peopleare voting we know it ishow they got on the votingroles in the first place. Some-one in a position to know bet-ter signed them up.
However, apart from ques-
tioning the competence of Mr.Husted to enforce existinglaws, we should be askingwhy he is not using resourcesto make voting easier, byopening more polling places,why he is not campaigningvociferously to end the ridic-ulous Gerrymandering inOhio and why he is not tryingto bring voting into the 21stCentury in Ohio by investingin fully electronic voting.Instead he is zeroing in on aproblem that is, by compari-son, small, no matter howimportant. What about theseother issues?
The answer of course liesin the politics. He is answer-ing to his masters in the GOPwho want to limit the votingpower of those who tradition-ally vote against them: minor-
ities, immigrants, even stu-dents. If you doubt me, look atthe Gerrymandered map ofOhio (and the recent effort inTexas to disenfranchise stu-dents). In 2012, the GOP won12 of 16 Ohio seats in theHouse (or 75 percent), butgarnered only 52 percent ofall the votes cast. Is this De-mocracy? Where is Mr. Hus-teds outrage over this?
I absolutely agree that oneillegal vote cast is one toomany. However, I deplore thegrandstanding and politics,which have seeped into aprocess that should be impar-tial. It is the states duty toensure that all legal votes arecounted and matter. Instead,we have a conscious effort tosideline those who do not votefor the GOP in Ohio and other
states. I know Democratsplay the gerrymanderinggame as well. It should beoutlawed; I think most peoplewould agree.
Washington should reflectthe nation, and it does not:neither politically nor eco-nomically. It would refresh-ing and a sign of genuineleadership if Mr. Hustedtook the lead in electoralprocess, instead of being inthe humiliating position ofhenchman, responsible forthe application of party ideol-ogy.

Calculating expenses andincome with and withoutSocial Security benefits canprovide an important pic-ture of what your retire-ment years may bring.
Around age 50, youshould begin to plan the bestage to access Social Securi-ty benefits and considerwhether to take your pay-ments early at a reducedbenefit or delay for a largerbenefit. While spreadsheetsand calculations can helpproject each unique scenar-io, there is one concern indanger of being overlooked:How likely is it that theSocial Security programwill pay your full benefitover the course of yourretirement years?
Without changes at theCongressional level, notvery likely.
Neither Medicare norSocial Security can sustainprojected long-run pro-grams in full under currentscheduled financing, ac-cording to the agencys 2013annual report. In fact, theSocial Security Administra-tion projects that in 19 years in 2033 the trust fund setup to pay for shortfalls inbenefit payments will bedepleted. The report saidthat without the trust fundmaking up the difference,income tax revenue willonly be enough to support 77percent of scheduled bene-fits.
Worse yet, the trend hasnot been positive, as the2004 Annual Report project-ed a depletion of the trustfund in 2042.
The big question is, canyou afford the retirementyou desire without your fullbenefits, if it comes to that?Until we get some guidanceon if and when Congresswill act to fix this projectedshortfall in a benefit mil-
lions ofAmericanshave paidinto overtheir workinglifetimes,Kehoe Fi-nancial Ad-visors recom-mends youtake a cau-tious ap-proach in
assuming your benefit.So what are you to do?Attempt to lessen depen-
dence on Social Securityincome by saving moremoney with employer re-tirement plans or IRAs.Also, if you have not yetretired, stress-test retire-ment income by assuming areduction of Social Securitybenefits.
While solutions can alsoinclude retiring later thananticipated, cutting ex-penses or working part-timeafter retiring, planning 15 to20 years ahead to save andinvest can make the differ-ence between enjoying sen-ior years that are golden ornot so golden.
While one married couplemay aim toward an annualincome of $50,000 a year,another couple may findthat sum woefully inade-quate if they want to buy asecond home or travel ex-tensively. Each person isunique in terms of what heor she requires to have acomfortable, sustainableretirement that could last 30years.
The best plan of attack isto develop a financial planearly with a respected ad-visor and discipline yourselfto work the plan over time.

According to the poetRobert Browning, The bestis yet to be, the last of life,for which the first wasmade.
In May when I called myyoungest brother to wishhim a happy birthday, hisbeing 14 years younger thanmy 72, he complained aboutthe aches and pains of grow-ing older. When I told him,the best is yet to be, hetook my remark as irony.Well, I meant what I said. Iguess the critical question is,What makes us happy?
Someone came into mylife 10 years or so ago whomI will never forget. He seemsto have that spirit that keepshim young, enthusiastic,passionate in his work, andspiritually joyful. He haslived a good part of his lifearound the West Side of Cin-cinnati: Bridgetown, Mon-fort Heights and Cheviot.Now 62, he is not so younghimself. Yet, if anyone hasfound the Fountain of Youthcombined with the Wisdomof the Ages, he has.
In June, The Rev. TomBolte celebrates 35 years asa priest, that is, a personliving, breathing and sharing
the peace andjoy of theholy Spiritwith others.He has let thepower of theSpirit enterhis mind andheart and life;and, yes, fol-lowing hisexample is allI have had to
do to know that The best isyet to be.
Father Bolte is a leader inserving as pastor of manychurches including St. Mar-tin, St. Ignatius and St. Tere-sa. He is now the pastor atSt. Boniface and St. Mary inPiqua. I have yet to hear ofanyone falling asleep duringhis sermons; he does preachGods love for us, but withthe fire of heaven. He isdevoted to his family in-cluding his three sisters, andhe even loves his 10 niecesand nephews he takes toKings Island each year.
Wherever he goes, what-ever he does, and whomeverhe is with; he lives the mes-sage of the power of theSpirit working within himand through him to others. I
suppose the real aim is todare to say, yes, to theSpirits love, grace, and joywithin us.
Roller coasters like thoseat Kings Island may be bothfantastic and seeminglydangerous and may have upsand downs and bumps alongthe way, but millions of peo-ple line up to take the ride.What about taking a ridewith the power of the Spiritembracing you, comfortingyou, encouraging you, andbringing you to much morethan a safe landing!
Thanks, Father TomBolte. I am sure glad we met.You and priests and minis-ters like you definitely makea crucial difference in ourworld by reminding us of theHoly Spirit within all of us.
To paraphrase VaddeyRatner, a contemporaryCambodian writer, even inthe midst of suffering andhardship, we can discoverthe extraordinary beauty ofheaven within ourselves bydaring to reach for it. I forone know that the best is yetto come because I am al-ready living it.

NORTH COLLEGE HILL Itsthe day before Fathers Day atthe Friars Club next to RogerBacon High School. ShannonMinor, a former North CollegeHill and Northern KentuckyUniversity star and the currentboys basketball head coach,walks out of an office and into apacked gymnasium filled withyoungsters and their dads.
He addresses the group andreminds them why theyvecome together. The reason: PeteMinor, Shannons late fatherwho died in 2011when a drunkendriver struck him as he changedhis flat tire on the roadside.
Shannon shares some memo-ries with the campers of thethird annual Pete Minor Father-Child Basketball Camp abouthis dad and why this camp is im-portant.
When I was growing up, mydad would take a week of vaca-tion so he could take me tocamp, Shannon said. I startedthinking about how I can honormy dad, and I thought why dontwe have a camp where the dadsparticipate with the kids.
The connection I had withmy dad was always with sports.I see when people leave there,they have a good appreciation oftheir kids and thats what mydad did with me.
Pete Minor was always there.He had a tenacious work ethicthat never interfered with hisability to be a dad. Pete was an
athlete himself. Born in 1944 inDayton, Ky., Pete starred infootball, basketball and baseballat Roger Bacon before enteringthe Army. After enlisting, Petecontinued to play football, bas-ketball and baseball in thearmed forces. He also coachedyouth sports.
My dad worked 70 hours aweek and never missed a game,high school, college, home andaway, said Shannon. FathersDay was never a day on the cal-endar. We treated Fathers Dayand Mothers Day like they wereevery day.
Shannons a father of three.But, because hes busy duringthe camp running stations andmaking sure everything runssmoothly, he doesnt get to runthrough drills and play with histhree kids (Mitchel, 11, Marshal,9, Milyn, 7). So, his kids got topick high school basketballplayers that Shannon hascoached to play with them.
Shannon learned firsthandwhat its like to have a fatherwho takes an active interest inhis children. Hes made it a pointto give that gift to his own chil-dren, and with this basketballcamp hes trying to give it to oth-ers.
For four hours inside the Fri-ars Club, 64 sons and daughtersget to play basketball with dad.It seems simple, but its not.
If Pete were here, He wouldsmile. He would be proud, saidShannon. Without a doubt, hedbe out there playing with hisgrandkids.

ST. BERNARD The boysvolleyball season was any-thing but easy for Roger Ba-con High School. In spite ofinjuries and a formidableschedule, the Spartansplayed their best volleyball inthe season finale.
Roger Bacon proved it be-longs in the statewide conver-sation when the Spartans bat-tled but lost a five-set thrillerto eventual Division II staterunner-up, St. Francis De-Sales, in a state semifinalmatch May 30 at Capital Uni-versity.
Our focus (the whole sea-son) was just continuous im-provement, Roger Baconcoach Adam Goller said. Wetook a marathon approachand we were lucky enough toplay our best in our lastgame.
Roger Bacon lost to De-Sales 25-16, 25-21, 28-30, 17-25, 15-12. The Spartans actu-ally opened the season with a25-17, 25-15 loss to St. FrancisDeSales.
Goller said, Wed been tostate before so it wasnt any-thing new, but it was differ-ent with this team. I reallyfeel like this team was upthere looking for a chal-lenge.
Challenge is an under-statement. With its season onthe line, down two games tonone, the Spartans foundenough momentum to force adeciding fifth game. Eventhough it didnt go their way,the Spartans had a blast.
That (semifinal) is themost fun match weve playedall season. It was so compet-itive and there was so mucheffort, so much energy, Goll-er said. Its by far the mostfun weve had all season, andwere lucky enough to say weplayed our best in our lastmatch.
Goller added that for acompetitive program its allabout how you finish. Theseason-ending loss was atough one to swallow.
It was definitely difficult,but one hour doesnt make aseason, said Goller. Wetalked about our progression(after the loss) from the be-ginning to the end, and whenwe look back and evaluate theentire season we dont look atjust the last hour.
For a team that started theseason 3-7, the Spartans went12-4 down the stretch. Theturnaround can be largely at-tributed to Roger Bacons sixsenior leaders (Alex Brenner,Ben Holt, Bobby Wilking,Robbie Heywood, Jack Haus-feld and Tony Weickert).
Holt (Mount St. Joseph)and Brenner (Wittenberg)will continue their volleyballcareers in college. Holt andWilking were both namedsecond-team All-State, first-team All-South Region andfirst-team All-GCL. Heywoodwas first-team All-GCL, andHausfeld was second-teamAll-GCL, Goller said.
Six strong seniors will behard to replace, but Gollerand his staff are optimisticabout the future.
We still expect to con-
tinue to improve and be com-petitive.
According to the teamsTwitter account @RBBVB
