Colerain Township residentsPamandGary Schroeder estab-lished Nate’s Toy Box in memo-ry of their 28-year-old sonNate,killed in a 2005 car accident.

To keep his memory alive,the family setupNate’sToyBoxthrough the Groesbeck UnitedMethodist Church and ServingOur Neighbors Ministries tobenefit needy children in thecommunity, and to ensure thatall children receive toys atChristmas time.

MONFORTHEIGHTS—There’sno monopoly on success. Asmuch as somewould like to ownit, that’s not how it works.

Success doesn’t come easy.

It’s a lengthy, complicated proc-ess. At the heart of success arepeople. LaSalle’s alwayshad thepeople. What they needed wassuccess.

They’re the ones clad in redandwhite, right in themiddle ofsomething they’ll never forget

— a state championship.AtLaSalle, they’vebeenbusy

waiting and working. The waitended Friday night when LaSalle (14-1) beat Nordonia (14-1),55-20, in the Division II state fi-nal game at Ohio Stadium in Co-lumbus.

Bob Kruger was La Salle’sfirst football coach. He washired in 1961. That’s when foot-ball and La Salle merged – theirpaths crossed and have re-mained intersected.

The legion of Lancers,and the state record bookswon’t forget what La Salleaccomplished this season.

La Salle spent morethanhalfacenturysearch-ing for a playoff win. Thisseason, in its fifth all-timeplayoff appearance, LaSalle found five in a row.

“At83yearsold,Ineverthought I’d see the day,”Kruger said. “It’s just adream come true forme.”

Kruger, who missedjust two games of thegreatest season inLaSallehistory, said he wasn’t go-ing to miss the big one.Kruger was given a side-line pass for the state

game.“I’ve never seen a team

so versatile,”Kruger said.“To see these guys haven’tgiven up is the greatestfeeling.”

Kruger’saprimeexam-ple of what La Salle em-bodies. He found them,they found him andthey’re both better for it.

La Salle’s an importantplace. For those that expe-rience it, they can’t helpbut take itwith themwhenthey go.

This game broughtthem back. They flew infrom Oregon, New Jerseyand Florida.

Dan McDonald (LaSalle ’85) is an assistanthigh school football coachat Naples (Fla.).

Because his games co-incide with La Salle’s, Mc-

Donald follows the Lanc-ers the only way he can.He gets text updates fromhis brother, a La Sallegrad, and his 14-year oldson.

In his four years at LaSalle, McDonald neverbeatMoeller.

“When we won againstMoeller (34-9 in week six)I texted my brother andsaidifwemakearunintheplayoffs and get deep, I’mcoming up,” McDonaldsaid.

La Salle clinched aberth in the state final lastFriday, beating Olentangy48-13, and McDonald hadhis plane tickets the nextmorning.

“I broughtmy son, he’llbe a freshman next year,”McDonaldsaid. “He’snev-er been to Cincinnati, he’s

never seen where I grewup or La Salle.”

McDonald knew heneeded to introduce hisson to La Salle.

“La Salle isn’t some-thing you accomplish, it’san attitude, a demeanor, acommitment you make,”McDonald said.

ThenewerLaSallegen-erations have picked upwhere their predecessorsleft off.

Ryan Stanchek (LaSalle ’04) played collegefootball at West Virginiaand then with the AtlantaFalcons. Currently, Stan-chek is the offensive linecoach at Alcorn State.

“I think the peoplemake theplace,”Stancheksaid. “La Salle’s definitelya place made by people. Alot of schools have great

facilities and nice thingsbut the people make theplace.”

J.K. Schaffer (La Salle’08) would tend to agreewith Stanchek. Schaffer’sabout as Cincinnati as onecan get. After La Salle, hestarred as a linebacker atCincinnati before playingtwo seasons with the Ben-gals.

Schaffer said his fon-dest memories at La Sallerevolve around the peoplewho taught him andplayed alongside him.

“The La Salle commu-nity is very tight-knit,”Schaffer said. “Guys willgoall over thecountry,butany chance they get tocome back and watch LaSalle, especially in a statechampionship, those guysare going to enjoy every

second of that.”From the beginning, La

Salle spent more thanenough time hearingabout the high-caliberteams they have to dealwith every year. Teamslike Moeller, St. Xavierand Elder.

This season, thoseteams, and the rest of thestate, had their hands fullwith La Salle for a change.Disregard the division,the Lancers proved some-thing.

They proved they be-long. They proved that 50years was long enough.The proved that persis-tence pays dividends.

The Lancers havereached the peak. Now,there’s an entire commu-nity that can’t wait to seewhat’s next.

John Paul II CatholicSchool

» John Paul II CatholicSchool had Mustache Monday,raising more than $311 forHandsAgainstHunger, aminis-try of Child’s Hope Interna-tional

SERVE (Students EngagedinRewardingVolunteerExperi-ences) organized the event.

Themoneywill bedonated tohelp feedmore than1millionor-phans who were moved fromeastern Ukraine due to war.Faculty and students in SERVEand Student Council volun-teered at Hands Against Hun-ger to prepare the food packetsfor these children.

McAuley High School» The McAuley High School

community hosted six foreignexchange students from Den-mark.

These young women attendHasseris Gymnasium (highschool) in Aalborg, in northernDenmark. Each student washosted by a McAuley studentand attended classes, as well asexperiencing asmuch of Amer-ican and Cincinnati culture aspossible. The McAuley stu-dents, in turn, are learningabout the Danish culture andcustoms.

The families of the followingstudents volunteered to hostthese women: senior DakotaDixon (45224), sophomore Ele-na Kluener (45247), senior Syd-ney Pleasants (45247), seniorEmily Threm (45252), juniorAbbi Quinn (45247) and juniorCarly Kruse (45239).

» In an effort to bring a littleMcAuley spirit to her daughterwho is away at college at theUniversity of South Carolina,JoAnnSchutte ofHamilton con-tacted McAuley High School’scafeteria and asked managerPamVollman for a carry-out or-der of three dozen famous icedMcAuley cookies.

Lynn Schutte, a McNairScholar in her freshman year atUSC, was really happy and elat-ed by the surprise cookies. Co-incidentally,Lynnehasconnect-edwithandbecomebest friendswith another young woman,HannahMarks,who also gradu-ated from a Sisters of Mercyschool, Assumption HighSchool, in Louisville. They meteach other at a scholarship din-ner and were so excited thattheybothwenttoSistersofMer-cy schools, sharing the samevalues.Theyhavebecomegreatfriends and attendMass togeth-er regularly.

Schutte, who was the saluta-torian of the class of 2014, isma-joringinpsychology. Inthespir-it of service to others, one of theMercy values, she is volunteer-ing at a local Catholic parish inColumbia working with autisticchildren in their CCD program.

St. Vivian School» St. Vivian seventh-graders

participated in the school’s an-nual “Volcano Day.”

» The school held its secondannual “Haunty Carlo” Oct. 18.This is a fun-filled Monte Carloeveningwith aHalloween twist.Many of those who attendedwore costumes.

WintonWoods SchoolsPrincipal Jeremy Day likes

Bridge Club at Winton WoodsIntermediate School because itteaches critical thinking andteamwork.

Parent Lora Wolke, who ap-proached Day with the idea forthe club, knew that playingbridge improves a player’s fo-cus, memory, and math skills.Fifth-graderKavitaNelson justlikes Bridge Club because it’sfun.

Bridge Club is new this yearat WWIS, and the fifth- and

sixth-graders who attend arepart of theyoungest bridgeclubsponsored by the CincinnatiBridge Association.

“We usually play a fewrounds, have a snack and thenget back to playing,” Nelsonsaid. Wolke said each sessionstarts with 20 minutes of learn-ing about bridge and then anhour of playing.TomMess,withthe Cincinnati Bridge Associa-tion, said early sessions havebeen about fundamentals.

“We’re getting them to learnto play cards and learn shuf-fling and handling,” said Mess.

Bridge, which has been com-pared to other strategic cardgames like euchre and spades,has its ownvocabulary. The stu-dents are learning terms like“declarer,” “dummy” “tricks”and “trump.” Because bridge is

played in pairs, they’re alsolearning teamwork. “Bridge isa‘we’gamenotan ‘I’game,”Messsaid.

Volunteer Patti Wiers, whowas joined by Dot Keith, FranIngram andDonna Stothfang ata recent bridge club meeting,said the object of the card gameis to take the number of tricksthat you bid.

“Youmust learn tocommuni-cate with a partner, telling himor her in bidding terms what isin your hand, because youworktogether,” Wiers said. “Thenyou must strategize how manytricks you can take. Bridge is athinking game, a sort of memo-ry game. The person who canremember all the cards playedwill do very well.”

Wiers said she learned toplay bridge at a young age and

taught two grandsons to playwhen they were about the sameage as the students at WWIS.Wolke said her children aregood at euchre, and her parentsencouraged her to get them intobridge. Wolke’s daughter No-elle, a fifth-grader, said shejoined bridge club because shelikescardsandherfriendsweredoing it, but that she also enjoysmeeting new kids.

Day is happy that the stu-dents are enjoying the new cluband that they’re learning tothink through a process. “Forme, the biggest sell is thatthey’re learning to perseverethrough something.”

ForNelson, it’s about the fun.“We always have so much funthat we play until after the clubofficially ends,” she said.

Todaymy kitchen hasthe haunting fragrance ofvanilla. I’mmaking vanil-la extracts for gift giving.

I think oneof the nic-est, andreallyeasiest,gifts fromthe kitchenis home-made va-nilla ex-tract.When Imentionedthis in a

recent column, so manyof you asked about it thatI wanted to share a de-tailed recipe early in theseason.

Kind of beansUse high quality vanil-

la beans/pods that bendeasily. The beans areactually the seed pod of amember of the orchidfamily and are harvestedby hand; thus the reasonfor the cost. If they’rehard, don’t use them tomake vanilla extract, butchop them up and sub-merge in some granulat-ed sugar or salt to flavorthose. Vanilla made withBourbon/Madagascarbeans has the classic,robust flavor that is typi-cally associated withvanilla. Tahitian beansare not as strong, morefruity and floral, whileMexican beans tend to besmooth flavored with ahint of spiciness.

Preparing beansI pound them flat and

then split them length-wise in half or shorter tofit the jar. You’ll see tinyblack vanilla seeds.

Alcohol variations

Vodka has the mostneutral flavor, but youcan use bourbon, brandy,or rum. I like to give atrio for gifts. A good 40%(80 proof) alcohol forvodka will work fine.Vanilla extracts that youbuy usually contain 35percent or 70 proof alco-hol.

InfusingDepending upon the

method, infusing flavorcan take anywhere froma week to a fewmonths.I’m giving two recipeshere - one that is a quickinfuse that’s ready in aweek or so and one thattakes at least a month orup to several months. Ifgiving this as a gift be-fore infusion is done, letrecipient know. It’s fun towatch flavor develop.You’ll know infusion iscomplete by color (any-where from goldenbrown to dark) and espe-cially, aroma. The flavorwill becomemore com-plex over time.

Storing vanillaCool, dry place (not

the frig) where it shouldlast indefinitely. Storeunused beans in freezer.

Hot infuse methodfor vanilla extract

Adapted from Cook’sIllustrated DIY book.

3/4 cup vodka2 vanilla beans,

pounded flat and splitas mentioned above.Place in a one cup con-tainer. I like glass.

Carefully and slowly,heat vodka in largesaucepan on low just

until hot. Be careful,don’t cover or use highheat as fumes could catchfire. Pour over beans,submerging them. Cool toroom temperature, un-covered. Seal and store atroom temperature for aweek, shaking every day.Strain or not.

Rita’s roomtemperature infusemethod

Takes more beans anda longer time, and theflavor is amazing.

4 vanilla beans,pounded flat and splitas mentioned above.

8 oz. vodka or otheralcohol

Place beans in jar.Pour alcohol of choiceover. Beans must be sub-merged. Cover, shake andlet infuse at room tem-perature a month at leastor longer, shaking everyfew days or so. Strain ifdesired.

Tip from Rita’skitchen: don’t tossout the beans

Vanilla salt or sugar. Ifyou strain vanilla, beansare still flavorful enoughto use in salt or sugar.Dry and submerge in

about a cup of salt orsugar. Cover until flavordevelops.

Vanilla, orange andmint extracts:

Readers want toknow: What is acomal?

A reader was passinga gourmet kitchen storeand saw what looked likea heavy crepe pan in thewindow. The sign said“comal.” “What is it usedfor?” he asked. It’s pro-nounced koh-MAHL and

is a very shallow round oroblong flat griddle withlow curved sides, madeof cast iron or steel. UsedinMexican and LatinAmerican cooking fortortillas and toastingchilies, spices and veg-gies. I like the cast ironversion since it’s one thatcan be passed down andgets better the more youuse it.

Greenhills embraced ‘Nonno’ as its ownThe village of Greenhills has

an unusual street sign identify-ing a one-block length of street.The sign was placed on thatblockmore than 30 years agoand today that block is stillcalled NonnoWay. This lonestreet sign has an interestingstory behind it – one that I be-lieve is fitting for this Thanks-giving Day.

In the early 1900s Atilio Mat-teucci left his impoverishedvillage in northern Italy insearch of a better life in Amer-ica. Like somany others, hearrived at Ellis Island withnothing in his pockets. Hequickly learned the Americanname for Italians wasWOP, theabbreviation forWith-Out-Papers. Today we call this “un-documented.”

He traveled the countrysearching for work. He workedin the coppermines in the Up-per Peninsula ofMichigan for atime, eventually moving toChicago, where hemarried,

started a fam-ily and workedin a factoryuntil he retired.One of hischildren wasGeorge, myfather-in-law.George passedaway just be-

fore Thanksgiving two yearsago andmore than anyonetaught me how to be a betterfather – not by what he told mebut by how he acted.

After retirement, Atilio end-ed up widowed and living alonein Chicago. One day his sonGeorge came to visit him fromCincinnati, where he hadmovedhis family. When he found hisdad sitting in the dark staring atthe wall, George said, “Dad youare coming to live with us.”

Susan, mywife, was theyoungest of George’s four chil-dren and the only girl, and herrelationship with Atilio was aspecial one. He picked her up

from school; they talked a lot;they went out to lunch. Mostlythey went to Furr’s Cafeteria.Atilio never had learned to reador write and he wasmuchmorecomfortable ordering food hecould see than from amenu.When they did go to a restau-rant where they were waitedon, he never failed to whisperinto the waitress’ ear and soon acomplimentary birthday des-sert would arrive in honor ofSue’s special day. Nonno wouldenjoy a good chuckle and Suewould respond with a knowingsmile.

Atilio got a job as a crossingguard in the small suburbancommunity theMatteucciscalled home. All the neigh-borhood kids loved this warmand humorousman. It did nottake long for them to call himthe same thing that Sue and herbrothers did: Nonno. WhileNonno was still alive, the townof Greenhills renamed thestreet where he safely crossed

the kids to school NonnoWay.The story of Nonno Atilio is

the story of America. An un-documented immigrant, justtrying to survive at first, endsup touching the hearts of thechildren and parents of a smallMidwestern community to suchan extent that they affectionate-ly rename a street after himwith the appellation by whichhe was so affectionately known.

I don’t know all the things hedid to engender this affection –I nevermet Atilio – but I sus-pect they were the kinds ofcontributions that bring peopletogether, that help us see thejoy in living, that remind us thatwe are all our brother’s keeper.How could you even begin tomeasure the value of thesekinds of contributions?

What a gift Nonno Atilio wasto the community of Greenhills,to theMatteucci family, to Su-san, to me, and now that youknow a bit about him, in a smallway, I hope, to you.

We are particularly drawn toimprove the harsh realities ofhunger and food insecurityfacingmembers of our commu-nity. This continues to be amajor issue in the GreaterCincinnati area, and the de-mands are growing as hun-dreds of thousands of individ-uals and families wonder wheretheir next meal is coming from.In Greater Cincinnati, the FeedAmerica’s Map theMeal Gapfound that this uncertaintyaffects 289,940 people, includ-ing 100,000 children.

The unemployment rate hasdropped over the past year,which is good news, but theimprovement fails to generatethe necessary awareness of thegrim reality affectingmillionsof individuals in our country –hunger. Over 2 million individ-uals in Ohio, almost 20 percentof the population, are classifiedas food insecure. However,one-third of the hungry pop-ulation does not qualify forfederal nutrition programs,instead having to rely on foodassistance, from social serviceagencies.

Financial stress is cripplingfamilies locally, and not just theunemployed. There are manyindividuals working that arestill struggling to make endsmeet. The strains have causedpeople to change their life-styles, borrowmoney fromfriends and family, and evenmove in with others to get backon their feet.

For those individuals strug-gling to make it day-by-day,social service agencies like theFreestore Foodbank are bea-cons of hope. These organiza-tions are hands-on communityadvocates, spending time withtheir visitors and neighbors,getting to know them, and de-termining the best way to help.Whether providing food, cloth-ing, job training, health care,housing, moneymanagement

classes, ortransportation,these agenciestirelessly workfor those inneed.

hear about their families andinterests, their joys and suc-cesses, and their challengesand hardships. We pride our-selves on being a communitysupport system and do what wecan to aid those that could use ahelping hand. We are called toaction to help those in need.

This holiday season, LaRo-sa’s is proud to once again sup-port the Freestore Foodbank ofCincinnati to fight hunger inour community. Beginning theday after Thanksgiving, each ofour pizzerias began sellingBuddy Cards (our 2 for 1 pizzadiscount card) for the benefitof the Freestore Foodbank.

I have voted at the polls onElection Day all my votingeligible life, and I do greatlyappreciate the accessiblevoting machines that havebeen in use for eight years orso. Accessible voting ma-chines for me means ma-chines that present voterinformation verbally ratherthan visually.

However, my votingcomes only after I have readand studied the League ofWomen Voters “Who andWhat of Elections,” a placewhere I can find solid, ob-jective and impartial infor-mation about almost all can-didates and issues. All candi-dates are invited to presentthemselves honestly, forth-rightly, and cogently, andthey are not permitted todisgrace themselves andinsult voters by using adhominem logical fallacies.

I did vote for Zach Hainesfor the state board of educa-

tion because Idid readabout him inThe Commu-nity Press andthus knew Iagreed large-ly with hisideas abouteducation.However,when he ne-glected to use

the “Who and What of Elec-tions” to present himself, hemay have missed a lot ofvoters and their support.

In the “Who and What ofElections,” candidates areasked to give their back-ground, their answers topertinent questions regard-ing the office they seek, andthey are not permitted tomake reference to any candi-date or candidates opposingthem. That final qualificationfor presenting themselves isso refreshing when consider-

ing what the voters are ex-posed to on television: onepolitical ad after another thatbash opponents and insult theintelligence of voters.

Haines, please rememberthe “Who and What of Elec-tions” when you run for of-fice again, and I certainlyhope you do run. Thanks, LouTerhar. I am glad to see thatin 2014 you made use of the“Who and What of Elections,”the perfect opportunity toreach us who are among thestudious voters seeking realinformation about candi-dates.

Now, if politicians can alllearn to speak for them-selves, refrain from lobbingattacks on their opponents,and negotiate solutions forthe common good; just may-be some of our nation’s prob-lems will disappear.

Dec. 3 questionThe Ohio Senate has passed a

bill that wouldmandate a policeofficer tobepresent at any inter-section or place where red lightcameras and traffic control cam-erasareused. Is thisgoodlegisla-tion?Why or why not?

“Mandating a police officerbe present where red light orspeeding cameras are usedsure feels like good legislationto me. I don’t want to comeacross as anti-police, I am not,however, if law enforcement iswanting to accuseme of a traf-fic crime, charge me a largefine plus court costs and nega-tively impact my insuranceclassification, then I fully ex-pect themtodo the actualworkin person. Most people obeytraffic laws most of the time,but if one is half a second toolate getting through a yellowlight or going 5 mph over theposted speed limit, is it right tohave a machine auto-arrestthat person? I think not. Goodjob Ohio legislature.”

M.J.F.

“Wow! Here I thought thecameras were to eliminate

needing a salaried police offi-cer sitting, doing almost noth-ing, for hours on end, to catchthe one or two scofflaws thatwere oblivious to the policepresence. I really liked it whena patrol car used to sit in frontof my house to catch the nu-merous stop sign ignoring mo-torists in our neighborhood.The number of children in thearea made this an understand-able situation. However, I rec-ognized that there were farmore important areas thatcould use the eyes and ears ofsomeone trained in law en-forcement. The drug and van-dalism problems present

enough work for many moreuniforms thanwecanafford. ...If we really believe that thecameras are an invasion of pri-vacy or inaccurate in court,then, they should be eliminat-ed, but if we want an economi-calmeans of surveillance, a pa-trol sitting in acar is not thean-swer.”

D.B.

“Ihavemixedfeelingonthissubject. One of the reasons toput these cameras in placewasto save on police presence us-ing the police instead for need-ed patrols and responding toemergencies. This law defeatsthat. However too many town-ships in Ohio have becomepredatory with these camerascharging exorbitant fees forminor transgressions. Leavethe cameras in place, but stopany automatic ticketing. Usethecomputerstofindrepeatof-fenders. Then notify them thatnext time they are being sum-moned into court. They canthen defend themselves if theywere not the driver.”

COLUMBUS — Savor the mo-ment, Lancer Nation: The LaSalle football team has won itsfirst state championship.

And the Lancers left abso-lutely no doubt.

TheLancers completed theirmemorable season with a 55-20win over Nordonia in the Divi-sion II state final in front of9,570 at Ohio Stadium Fridaynight.

LaSallesetaDivisionIIstatefinal record with 55 points. Theprevious record was 50 pointsby Youngstown Cardinal Moo-ney in 1980.

Thesepast15weekswill nev-er be forgotten by the La Sallefootball program and schoolcommunity.

At the beginning of this post-season, La Salle won the pro-gram’s first football playoffgame Nov. 7 and that was justthe start of the November andDecember memories in 2014.

La Salle’s first football teamwas in 1962. And now the Lanc-ers will add a state champion-ship trophy to the legacy.

La Salle never trailed on Fri-day night at Ohio Stadium. Andthe Lancers also experiencedsomething common this post-season: A running clock in thesecond half.

La Salle junior running backJeremy Larkin – an AssociatedOhio Mr. Football finalist – con-tinued to impress from thebackfield on Friday. Larkinscored on a 4-yard touchdownrun at the 9:19 mark of the firstquarter to complete a 6-play, 47-yard drive. Junior Nick Veiteadded the extra point and theLancers led 7-0.

Nordonia then added a fieldgoal toclosethegapto7-3a littlemore than five minutes later.

But, Larkin struck again.This time, hemade anifty cut toelude a defender and ran diago-nally to the corner of the endzone for a 45-yard touchdownrun to help make it 14-3.

The touchdown run was vin-tage Larkin as he went over2,500 yards for the season in thefirst half.

Nordonia added a field goalnear the end of the first quartertoclose thegap to14-6at theendof the first quarter.

La Salle junior quarterbackNickWatson scored on a 9-yardtouchdown and Veite added theextrapoint togive theLancers a21-6 leadwith7:49 left in thesec-

ond quarter.Nordonia scored on an 11-

yard touchdown reception byTye Evans to help close the gapto 21-13.

But theLancersownedthefi-nal minute of the second quar-

ter. Sophomore Jarell Whitescoredona3-yard touchdowntomake it 27-13 with 39 secondsleft.

Then senior defensive backAvery Larkin scored on a 44-yard interception return for atouchdown with 12 seconds leftin the half to help make it 34-13.Avery Larkin and Jeremy Lar-kin are cousins.

LaSalle added twoadditionalscores in the third quarter. Sen-ior John Junker blocked a puntand ran it back 15 yards for atouchdown tohelpmake it 41-13.Junker also recovered a fumblein the quarter.

La Salle senior Phil Ander-soncaughta23-yard touchdownpass from Watson to help makeit 48-13with 7:32 left in the thirdquarter after Veite added theextra point. The running clock(deficit of 30 or more points inthe second half) started afterthe kickoff.

Senior quarterback EricGreene scored on a 4-yardtouchdown run and Veite addedthe extra point to give the Lanc-ers a 55-13 lead with 5:19 left.

Nordonia added a late touch-down when senior Alex Alders

caught a 20-yard touchdownpass to help make it 55-20 with2:49 left.

The Lancers averaged 47.5points this postseason enteringFriday night.

The Division II state finalwas the third of three gamesFriday in Columbus. Therewere three games on Saturdayat Ohio Stadium, too.

La Salle sold over 3,000 pre-sale tickets as of Friday morn-ing.

Ponchos were seen every-where on theLaSalle side of thestadium as rain was consistentmost of the day.

Thestate football finalswereat Ohio Stadium for the firsttime since 1989.

La Salle was the first areateam to play for a state champi-onship at Ohio Stadium sinceMoellerwas theDivision I state

runner-up in 1989.Entering Friday’s game,

Princeton was the most recentarea school to win a state foot-ball title at Ohio Stadium whenthe Vikings won the 1987 Divi-sion I state championship.

Afterhosting the state cham-pionship games throughout the1980s, natural grass was in-stalled in Ohio Stadium in 1990and the Ohio High School Ath-letic Association was asked tomove the state finals to anotherlocation.

Stark County had been thehost of the state football finalsfor thepast24yearsprior to thisseason.

The state finals will be re-turning to Ohio Stadium for2015 and nothing has been de-cided regarding the future ven-ue beyond that.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. —Winning in the water hasalways been the norm forSt. Xavier. The Bombershavewon35 state teamti-tles and this seasonthey’ll be looking fortheir seventh Division Istate title in a row.

St. X returns ninestate-qualifying swim-mers and one diver fromlast year’s championshipteam.The returning statequalifiers are seniors JoeBerno, Grant Carr,Mitchell Frey, GrahamLindquist, Liam Moran,James Wray; juniorsMatt Slabe and NathanJonas, and sophomoreGrant House, as well asjunior diver Drew Fitz-gerald.

“We’re optimistic thatthrough the course of theseasonwecangetbetter,”said St. Xavier coach JimBrower. “You always liketo have a good, strongsenior class with somegreat leadership. Wehave those two things go-ing for us.”

House is the defend-ing state champion in the100 and 200-meter free-style. Slabe, House andFrey were three of thefour legs in St. X’s 400-meter free relay teamthat took the title last sea-son.

The Bombers don’tshy away from competi-tion, they realize how im-portant that is in order toget better.

“It’s fun to know thatyou’ve got some goodcompetition to help moti-vate the day-to-day,”Brower said. “This is al-ways a really strong dis-trict for swimming.We’ve had a nice little ri-valry with Moeller, whoagain, has a very goodteam.”

Brower said that theBombers have 94 swim-mers in the program this

year. St. X started its trekfor another title onDec. 4at home against Elder.

Coming off a 44thplace finish at the Divi-sionIstatemeet lastyear,McAuley wants to buildon that success.

“I’ve never had a teamwith this much depth,”said fifth-year coachEricStock. “Our numbersaren’t as high as we’dlike. Anyone can step upat any time.”

The Mohawks will fol-low senior Amanda Dell-er,whoqualified for statelast year in the 100 and200 freestyle. SeniorMorgan Hennard and ju-nior Erika Lucas are bothback; both were instru-mental in qualifying forthedistrict relays. Sopho-moreEmmaBarbee isgo-ing to be important thisyear for McAuley, saidStone.

Overall, McAuley’syoung and focused on itspotential. Depth has beenabsent in recent years, sothe Mohawks have em-braced competition thatthey hope translates tofaster times.

“There’s never beenthis many girls compet-ing for spots on relays,”

Stone said.RogerBaconwill have

togrowup through its un-derclassmen this seasonwith one senior on thegirls’ team and just twoon the boys.

Even though they’reyoung, the Spartans areaiming high this seasonwith their sights set onthe GCL Coed champion-shipmeetat theendof theregular season. CoachBen Stone is also hopingfor some repeat successat the district meet. Rog-erBacon lost lastseason’sdistrict qualifiers tograduation.

Ontheboys’ team, lookfor senior Tony DiMarioand juniorDrewSuffolet-ta to provide some expe-rience and leadership.

The girls’ team will beledby the loneseniorKel-sey Heaton who’s lookingfor her first trip to dis-tricts this season. Stonehas also been impressedwith sophomore ReneeFinan,who should dowellin the sprint events, andfreshman Sophie Hunter.Hunter’s talented, espe-cially in the breaststroke,and Stone thinks shecould have a shot at state.

“We have some youngtalent that should do real-

ly well,” Stone said.Bill Profitt has taken

on double duty this sea-son. The sixth-year Fin-neytown coach, who’salso a YMCA coach, de-cided to coach atWintonWoods and FinneytownthisseasonwhentheWar-riors were left without acoach and the program inquestion.

So, Profitt has theWildcats and the War-riors under his wing. Theteams practice together,which has created a nicecompetition that theyhope will serve themwell.

Finneytown’s boys’team has a “fair chance”of getting to districts in arelay, Profitt said. Sen-iors Matt Oakman andWilliamHunasonboth re-turn after nearly qualify-ing for districts last year,whichwas their firstyearever swimming.

Profitt believes theFinneytown girls’ teamhas a verygood chance ofmaking it to districts thisyear. Junior Julia Ger-mann qualified individ-ually for districts lastseason in the 500 free-style. Juniors KatherineGermann and ElizabethSnyder provide somespeed and experience inthe water.

Without nearly asmuch time, Profitt saidthe outlook for WintonWoods’ boys’ teamis todowell at sectionals. TheWarriorswill be ledby ju-

niors Te’van West andNickBehrendt, a La Salletransfer.

The girls’ team forWinton Woods is head-lined by sophomoreMad-eline Kelly and juniorGrace Kent. Profitt saidKentandKellyare talent-ed and should be shootingto swim at districts.

A positive work ethic,a businesslike approachand experience shouldmake La Salle a toughteam in the water thisseason. As usual, theLancers will have first-class conference compe-tition alongside St. X andMoeller.

La Salle has 30 swim-mers on the roster, themost in a season in atleast the last 25years, per24-year coachMike Lien-hart. Of the 30, 21 swamlast year and five of thoseare returning districtqualifiers. They are sen-iors Drew Meister, SamRedd, Stephen Cosco andDan Richter, as well assophomore AnthonyHale.

You can also count onseniors Justin Mays, Lo-gan Brauning and SamMinges to play supremeparts along with juniorsEthan Stock, CameronNichols and sophomoreDavid Orth.

Lienhart pointed outthat La Salle has twostrong incoming fresh-men in Daniel Nader andCole Trotta.

Despite the efforts ofauto manufacturers andthe government, Carfax-.com estimates there maybemore than 1millionused cars for sale thathave been recalled, butnever repaired.

Many ofthese vehi-cles canpose anextremesafetyhazard, butthe buyermay neverfind outabout theproblemuntil it’s

too late. A used car canlook good, even drivegreat, but have hiddendefects that can put aperson’s or family’s life atrisk.

That’s what happenedto AdamBuddenberg, ofLawrenceburg, after hebought a 2001 Isuzu Ro-deo SUV. Buddenbergsays, “It looked good, itdrove good and that’s all Ithought at the time.” Hepaid $6,000 for the vehi-cle and thought every-thing was fine until threemonths later when, whileriding with his mother,they heard a big bang andmanaged to pull safely tothe side of the road.

Adam’s mother, Kathy,said, “It was actuallybroken, the bracket un-derneath the frame wasbroken.” They checkedthe internet and learnedmore than 11,000 IsuzuSUVs had been recalled

two years before – in-cluding his. But Adam’svehicle had never beenrepaired.

The Buddenbergslearned corrosion hadcaused the suspensionbracket to break from theframe thus affectinghandling and increasingthe risk of a crash. Ad-am’s father, Bobby, says,“To thinkmy son, mywife, my grandson couldhave been hurt and pos-sibly killed in this andnobody wants to be re-sponsible for it. It’s justupsetting to me.”

Unfortunately, no oneis responsible becauseAdam bought the SUV“AS IS” so the dealer whosold it stated in writing heassumes no responsibilityfor any defects.

I’ve always advised toget a used vehiclechecked out first by anASE CertifiedMechanicbefore any purchase soyou know exactly what’swrong. Bobby says,“When we did take it offthe lot to test drive it, thedealer wanted it back in15 minutes—that was allhe was going to give us-…So, evidently, he didn’twant us to have anybodycheck it out.”

The dealer wrote me tosay the Buddenbergsnever asked if they couldget it checked out by amechanic prior to pur-chase and said he wouldhave permitted it asked.Of course, if a dealerwon’t let you get a vehiclechecked out prior to pur-

chase, that’s a red flagand you should look else-where.

Under the law, becauseBuddenberg’s vehicle ismore than 10 years oldIsuzu doesn’t have to fixit, but it offered to buy itback.

I checked with a lot ofused car dealers andwhile some say they docheck for unrepairedrecalls, clearly not every-one does. But a new fed-eral lawmakes it mucheasier for everybody tocheck out a particularvehicle prior to purchase.

the VIN or Vehicle Identi-fication Number online atthe National HighwayTraffic Safety Admini-stration website. Here’sthe link: www.nhtsa.gov/Vehicle+Safety/Recalls+&+Defects. It will tell youif that type of vehicle hasbeen recalled and wheth-er that particular vehiclehas been repaired.
