This was when cable television was first coming to the area and the idea was that by negotiating as a large group, rather than small individual suburban communi- ties, they could attract a larger, more state-of-the-art cable sys- tem. The result of that was the state-of-the-art, 60-channel, two wire, interactive Qube cable system from Warner Amex. Af- ter the system was built, some of the communities decided to pool their resources to fund and program the community access channels. The ICRC first began producing programs in 1986. “The ICRC is a prime exam- ple of shared resources. Not ev- ery one of the communities we serve needs a television studio, production truck or playback system but now they all have ac- cess to the services that those things provide.” How are you funded? “Each cable subscriber that lives in an ICRC community pays a 5 percent franchise fee. That is 5 percent of their cable television service only, that per- centage does not include Inter- net service or telephone. On a quarterly basis that 5 percent is then given back to the commu- nity and the ICRC - 2 percent of that 5 percent. (2 percent of the cable television bill or 40 per- cent of what the community re- ceives).” How many communities do you serve today? Did you serve more communities to- day or fewer? “Today we are at 23 commu- nities. Which is where we were back in the late 1980s. We have gained some and lost some since then. We have lost four commu- nities in the past four years. All related to budget cuts due to funding changes at the state level, reduction of the local gov- ernment fund, and elimination of the estate tax.

As the revenue stream formany communities in GreaterCincinnati continue to shrink,ways to cut costs remain underthe microscope. Services suchas community access televisionare being scrutinized like neverbefore with some communitieseliminating or reducing the ser-vice.

One of the oldest and largestproviders of community accesstelevision in the Cincinnati areais the Intercommunity CableRegulatory Commission(ICRC). With these looming fi-nancial challenges and signifi-cant changes in the way peoplecommunicate via social media,we asked ICRC Executive Di-rector Brad Stapleton a fewquestions about the history andfuture of community accesstelevision, specifically ICRC.He provided these responsesvia email.

Background on ICRC – whenand how did you begin?

“The ICRC was started in theearly 1980s by a forward think-ing Sharonville council membernamed Aaron Mackey. This waswhen cable television was firstcoming to the area and the ideawas that by negotiating as alarge group, rather than smallindividual suburban communi-ties, they could attract a larger,more state-of-the-art cable sys-tem. The result of that was thestate-of-the-art, 60-channel, twowire, interactive Qube cablesystem from Warner Amex. Af-ter the system was built, someof the communities decided topool their resources to fund andprogram the community accesschannels. The ICRC first beganproducing programs in 1986.

“The ICRC is a prime exam-ple of shared resources. Not ev-ery one of the communities weserve needs a television studio,production truck or playbacksystem but now they all have ac-cess to the services that those

things provide.”How are you funded?“Each cable subscriber that

lives in an ICRC communitypays a 5 percent franchise fee.That is 5 percent of their cabletelevision service only, that per-centage does not include Inter-net service or telephone.

How many communities doyou serve today? Did youserve more communities to-day or fewer?

“Today we are at 23 commu-nities. Which is where we wereback in the late 1980s. We havegained some and lost some sincethen. We have lost four commu-nities in the past four years.

ment specialist at theInternational WelcomeCenter at Roberts Acad-emy, said the Multicul-tural Collective grew outof discussions that tookplace during last year’sPrice Hill Plan meetings.

The Price Hill Planprocess brought togetherresidents, business own-ers, nonprofit organiza-tions and city leaders tocreate a comprehensivecommunity plan.

“The MulticulturalCollective is an extensionof my personal interestsand I met several otherpeople who felt the sameway,” Tolbert said.

“Price Hill is a greatcommunity and we wantto embrace our unique-ness and celebrate ourdiversity as we cometogether.”

She said the group’sgoal is to organize a mixof cultural and communi-ty events to unite theneighborhood and raiseawareness of the differ-ent cultures in Price Hill.

“We’re welcominganyone who wants to joinour committee,” she said.

The collective’s firstplanning meeting is setfor 5:30 p.m. Monday,Feb. 2, at the BLOC Cof-fee Co., 3101 Price Ave.

Anyone who wants tolearn more about theMulticultural Collective,or find out how to getinvolved, can email Tol-bert [email protected].

How local communi-ties use ICRC, or otherpublic access:

» Cincinnati: CitiCablecovers government meet-ings associated with thecity including CincinnatiCity Council, variouscommittee meetings,Board of Health, policeoversight, NeighborhoodSummit and communitydevelopment presenta-tions. It is funded throughcable franchise fees.

» Green Township: Thetownship pays NaturalLight Productions $15,000

annually to film its boardof trustees meetings. Themeetings are shown liveon the local Time Warnerpublic access station, andthen replayed throughoutthe week.

deal of programming thatis produced by theschools.

“Studio - We produce abi-weekly public affairsshow where local leadersand elected officialscome into our studio anddiscuss issues and eventsthat are important totheir constituents. Someof the local chambers ofcommerce producemonthly programs wherethey introduce new mem-bers of the local businesscommunity and the prod-ucts and services theyprovide.”

How does communi-ty access television fit intoday’s communicationrich society with You-Tube, Facebook, Twitter.. .?

“Community accesstelevision must adapt andstay relevant to its com-munity. When we started

there were five accesschannels on a 60-channelcable box. People werethrilled to see their citycouncil meeting on televi-sion a week or so after itoccurred. Now if theycan’t see that same meet-ing on their phone thenext day they want toknow why. And they canbecause that is part of theservice the ICRC pro-vides.

“In the fall when ourtwo trucks go out to coverhigh school football bothof those games are playedback that same night atmidnight. We are doingmore and more with ‘livetelevision’ over the Inter-net. For the sports wherepermissible, which ispretty much everythingbut football and tourna-ments, we make themavailable live over the In-ternet so anyone any-where with an Internetconnection can see themas they happen. Samething with concerts andparades and other com-munity events, we post alink on our Facebookpage and people canwatch live on their com-puter.

“This year we are fo-

cusing on our studio ser-vices. In the past, a localmayor or township trus-tee could come into ourstudio on a Monday nightand spend a half hourspeaking with the host ofour public affairs showand then a week later thefolks at home could tunein and hear what they hadto say. What we are work-ing toward now is for thatsame person to come intoour studio on a Mondayevening, choose how theywant to present their in-formation from a varietyof formats and when theywalk out the door theyhave a thumb drive intheir hand that will allowthem to upload that videoto their Facebook page orTwitter account and sendit out immediately to allwho subscribe.”

Are you digital? Whatabout high definition?

“Yes we are digital.However we are not HD(high definition).

“It is not required (tobe high definition), but isdesired and at some pointin the near future we willmake that transition. It isnot up to us, it will requirean agreement with the ca-ble company. On our end

we have already begunthe transition by startingto upgrade our produc-tion and playback equip-ment so that in terms ofwork flow, everything isHD compliant.”

What impact will thishave on service?

“The only impact itwill have on service willbe significant increase inpicture quality.”

What is the future ofICRC?

“The future of theICRC looks strong. Wehave a history of being onthe leading edge of tech-nology. We were the firstlocal organization to putvideo on the Internet,starting in 1999 when weposted over 200 local can-didates for office on theweb, long before any ofthe broadcasters weredoing it. We were the firstorganization in the coun-try to provide indexedcouncil meetings on theweb. Because we have thesupport of more than justone community, we canprovide a higher level ofservice and because ofthat higher level of ser-vice I believe we will con-tinue to thrive.”

St. Teresa of Avila

» Students sharing theirlove of science with youngerchildren is the McAuley Trav-eling Science Show, an out-reach service to elementaryschools. This year, the McAu-ley show is being presented tonearly 900 fifth- and sixth-graders in 18 elementaryschools.

On Jan. 6, Colleen Bardua’sfifth-grade class at St. Teresaof Avila School in Covedalewas treated to the interactiveshow. (Bardua is a 2002 gradu-ate of McAuley.) The formatbegins with four hands-onexperiences: students makeUV bracelets, learning aboutultraviolet light; they makedensity columns, learningabout density of liquids; theydo an acids-bases experiment;and they predict which kind ofcola has the most carbon diox-ide in it by shaking differentcolas in baby bottles.

After the 30-minute hands-on session, the four McAuleystudents, under the direction ofShirley Frey, retired McAuleychemistry teacher, enthrall thestudents with a show titled“Solids, Liquids and Gases.”

Diamond Oaks» Diamond Oaks graduates

Adam Shelton (2011) and Rich-ard Stevens (2012) are back ona Great Oaks campus. Thistime it’s not to visit, though:They arel electricians rewiringa lab at Scarlet Oaks.

The two former Oak Hillsstudents attended the DiamondOaks Commercial/ResidentialElectricity program, and were

hired by Cooper Electric whenthey graduated.

They’re not alone. Eight ofCooper Electric’s 33 employeesare Great Oaks graduates.That’s because Cooper Presi-dent Greg Hyland believes incareer-technical education – arelationship that dates backmore than 37 years.

“In 1977, my boss read anewspaper article about GreatOaks, and suggested that I getin touch to see if they had somestudents who might make goodfuture employees. We’ve beenworking with them ever since.”

Hyland said he sees career-technical schools as the “farmteam for the industry.” He

stays connected with instruc-tors to learn about promisingstudents. He and other contrac-tors have recruited whilethey’re judging student skillcompetitions. Scarlet Oaksstudents Danny Stacy and TylerStahl shadowed Cooper electri-cians after meeting Hyland at aSkillsUSA competition.

It benefits the contactors tostay connected to the schools.Hyland said that among areaIndependent Electrical Contrac-tors member companies, over-all they could put 150 electri-cians to work – and the IEC seesGreat Oaks as the starting pointfor cultivating those futureelectricians.

Becoming a journeymanelectrician isn’t a quick process;it involves four years of appren-ticeship, training and experi-ence. Through the IEC, though,that route is shorter for manyGreat Oaks students.

“Opportunity exists forGreat Oaks students throughthe Youth Apprentice program,where students can begin theirapprenticeship at the beginningof their senior year. By the timethey graduate from high school,they will have simultaneouslycompleted one year of appren-ticeship,” Hyland said.

Cooper Electric’s Gil Hylandadded that, regardless of wheth-er students join the Youth Ap-

prentice program, they have anadvantage by starting trainingat Great Oaks.

“The Great Oaks grads willalways have those two years’ oftraining in high school, plus onthe job training through co-opsand summertime work, thatmake them more desirable thantheir older peers who lack pre-vious training,” Hyland said.

That, in part, explains why21-year-old Adam Shelton isalready supervising a crew ofcommercial electricians.

“Getting those two yearsunder my belt while at DiamondOaks is what set me up for suc-cess now. I’m in my fourth yearof apprenticeship, for a total ofsix years of experience in thisfield. Great Oaks gave me aclear vision of the career oppor-tunity the electrical trade pro-vides and the understanding forthe best possible head start.”

Greg Hyland spends timetalking with parents of prospec-tive students during openhouses and other events.

“I want parents to know thatcareer-technical educationgives their sons and daughtersoptions,” he said. “They canbegin a career and learn a skillthat will last them a lifetime.”

For Stevens, the option hechose was a good one.

“I chose commercial/resi-dential electricity because Iwanted a hands-on education.Now, at 20, I’m working withcustomers, learning superviso-ry skills, training others, anddoing what I like in trouble-shooting electrical problems. Igot my start at Diamond Oakswith an education in under-standing circuitry.”

A surprise documentcame in the mail. It wasfrom the Ohio Senatehonoring me “for exem-plary achievement inyour community andinspiration to individualsto excel in numerous

areas ofendeavor.”

Well, norecog-nition isearned byoneself.You, myreaders,share inthis awardsince thiscolumntruly is a

community endeavor andthe sharing of recipes,threads of wisdom andstories of family, foodand fun is all part of aweekly “visit” that wehave together.

Whether your teamfor the Super Bowl isSeattle or New England,you’ll need some heartyfixins’ to keep energy upduring the game. Hereare a couple of our fam-ily’s favorites.

Hanky pankiesI love the fact that this

recipe is being embracedby a younger generationof fans. Simple, comfortfoods like this are theones that disappear fastwhen we’re entertaining.I usually double this andfreeze some. Here’s mylatest version

1/2 pound groundsirloin

1/2 pound hot sau-sage (you can use reg-ular for a mild version)

Few dashes Worces-

tershire1 pound cubed Vel-

veeta1/2 teaspoon dried

oreganoGarlic powder to

tasteParty rye roundsCook the beef and

sausage. I use a potatomasher to break the meatup, then stir in rest ofingredients and cookuntil cheese melts. Serveon party rye or in hol-lowed out rye round. Youcan refrigerate this mix-ture and run the roundsunder the broiler to re-heat, or reheat mixture inmicrowave.

Chicken chiliThe ancho chili pow-

der is simply grounddried poblanos. The lasttime I made this, I usedboneless chicken thighsand breasts. You’ll need atotal of about 4 cups(which is what you’ll get,more or less from anaverage deli chicken). Ipoached them in broth.Also I had to add morespices to boost the flavor.Chili is a personal thing. Ilearned that when I was ajudge for a chili cook-off.I like to make this a dayahead. When I rewarm it,I usually add morespices, etc. Adapted froma recipe shared by CathyH., a Madeira reader.

1 rotisserie chicken,skin removed and meatshredded coarsely

1 can, 15 oz. Cannelli-ni beans, drained

1 can, 15 oz. GreatNorthern beans,drained

Olive oil1-2 jalapeno peppers,

minced1 large bell pepper or

2 poblanos, chopped - Ilike poblanos

2 generous cups on-ion, chopped or to taste

1 generous table-spoon garlic, minced orto taste

1 tablespoon cumin1 quart chicken brothCouple cups frozen

corn, thawed - optSalt and pepperJuice of 2 limes plus

extra for garnishAlso for garnish: torn

cilantro leaves, sourcream, chopped toma-toes, crushed tortillachips

Mash half the beanswith a potato masher.Film pot with oil andsauté peppers, onion andgarlic just until onionsare a little soft. Addspices and cook for aminute or so until yousmell their flavor. Pour inbroth, bring to a boil andlower to a simmer. Addbeans and corn and sim-mer 30 minutes or so.

Stir in chicken until heat-ed through. Add limejuice to taste. Serve withgarnishes.

Savory is herb of theyear and one that’s un-derused. It has an aro-matic peppery flavor,good in bean dishes (Ger-mans call it the beanherb) since it helps dispelgas. This recipe containsno salt.

Larry Schmolt, in “PriceHill Saloons,” tells about Har-tungs Cafe, once located onthe corner of Glenway andMcKeone. First owned by AlHartung, then his son, Bob, itwas one of the few stag barsin Cincinnati, having only onerestroom.

Bob Hartung believedCoke products had a lot to dowith Prohibition coming aboutand refused to sell them. Hewas adamant about it. Theregulars knew not to ask forthem. If someone orderedCoke, his response was “don’tlet the door hit you as youleave” and he wasn’t kidding.

He distrusted banks, hid-ing his money in various loca-tions in the saloon. A regularonce stopped in waving a$15,000 check from the sale ofhis home. He suggested that ifBob could cash the check hewould buy everyone in the

place a drink.Bob took thechallenge andsoon present-ed the manwith a stack ofcash and a bagto put it in,telling every-one to orderwhat theywanted.

Eventhough the place wasn’t airconditioned the regularsknew better than to turn onthe fans on hot summer nightsfearing it would cause a duststorm. Health inspectors ig-nored the saloon, knowing itwas useless to try to clean itup.

When a new inspector wastransferred to the area heboasted to his fellow workersthat he would clean up theplace. After an inspection, he

handed Bob a long list of vio-lations and told him to havethem taken care of by thefollowing week. Bob stuck thelist in a drawer and went onplaying gin rummy.

The next week the inspec-tor was back. He asked howmany violations had beencorrected, Bob pulled the listout of the drawer and said hereally hadn’t gotten around tothem yet. The furious inspec-tor ordered the placed shutdown. A few days later, heobserved the door was locked,but saw a bunch of peoplestanding around inside. Whensomeone let him in, they allgrabbed cleaning supplies.The angry inspector notedthat supposedly the saloonwas closed but there weremany drinks on the bar. Boblooked at him and said “Thereisn’t anything wrong withgiving my help a drink whilethey work here, is there?”

The inspector threatenedto call the police. Bob replied,“ No need to do that, there arefour or five of them herehelping me.” With that the

inspector headed back to theoffice and asked to be reas-signed to another district.

As a child, I passed Har-tungs on my way to school. Itwas a dark and mysteriousplace. Peering in their opendoor, all I could see was adusty wood floor. Halloweenchanged my fear into delight.They gave out nickle candybars and juicy apples! Afriend of mine tells of goingto Hartungs with her fatherwhen she was 3 and dancingon the bar to entertain theregulars.

It was a unique place forsure.

Larry Schmolt‘s book about thehistory of saloons in theneighborhood. "Price Hill Saloons.”

January is National Glauco-ma Awareness Month, and thedoctors at Cincinnati Eye In-stitute need your help to spreadthe word about this sight steal-ing disease.

In the United States, morethan 2.7 million people over theage of 40 have glaucoma, buthalf of those people don’t knowthey have the disease. This isbecause, in most cases, thereare no symptoms at first. Infact, as much as 40 percent ofvision can be lost without aperson noticing, and unfortu-nately, once vision is lost it can’tbe restored. This is why glauco-ma is often referred to as “the

sneak thief ofsight.”

Glaucoma isthe leadingcause of pre-ventable blind-ness in theUnited States.In technicalterms, it is agroup of dis-eases thatcause damage

to the optic nerve, resulting in agradual loss of vision. Withouttreatment, patients with glauco-ma will slowly lose their periph-eral, or side vision, so that theyseem to be looking through a

tunnel. Over time, straight-ahead vision may decrease untilno vision remains. With treat-ment, loss of vision can beslowed, and in some cases evenstopped altogether.

There is no cure for glauco-ma, but it can be controlled.Early detection and treatmentare the keys to protecting youreyes against vision loss. So,what can you do? The simpleanswer is, make an appoint-ment for a full eye exam. TheAmerican Academy of Ophthal-mology recommends that adultswith no signs or risk factors foreye disease get a baseline eyedisease screening at age 40 –

the time when early signs ofdisease and changes in visionmay start to occur. Based on theresults of this screening, youreye doctor can prescribe treat-ment, or suggest intervals forfollow-up exams.

For those who have alreadybeen diagnosed with glaucoma,we need your help, too. Weencourage you to talk to familyand friends, and have a con-versation about the disease.This is especially importantbecause those with a familyhistory of glaucoma are at ahigher risk of developing it.

For National GlaucomaAwareness Month, the doctors

at Cincinnati Eye Institutewould like to encourage you tolearn more about your eyehealth. While age, race, andfamily history are importantrisk factors to consider, anyonecan develop glaucoma. If youhaven’t had your eyes checkedin a few years, consider sched-uling an appointment with youreye doctor. If you think you areat risk, we encourage you totake action. Don’t let glaucomasneak up on you. After all, yoursight depends on it.

Jan. 21 questionThe city of Cincinnati re-

leased a report earlier thismonth which detailed a de-crease in crime within the city.Do you feel safe, or safer, in thecity than you have in the past?Why or why not?

“I believe that downtownCincinnati is safer now. I usedto be able to park downtownfor free at any parking meterafter 6 p.m. Now most of thosemeters are taken up by red‘valet’ bags. There tends to bea gauntlet of beggars seekinghandouts as one walks thestreets. Therefore I preferThe Banks area. The Bankshas a large parking garageand many places to mingle alaNewport Levy. Go Figure!”

T.D.T.

Jan. 14 questionSome people have criticized

recent school closings due tocold weather. What do youthink about the practice ofcanceling classes when themercury dips?

“My biggest issue with theclosing or delay of schoolswhen the temperatures arelow is that schools are adapt-ing to students habits as op-posed to students adapting tothe situation.

“When I look around at thekids walking or standing wait-ing for buses it appears thatmany of them are not dressedfor the weather. No winter

coats, fall type, sweatshirthoodies, no hats or gloves.

“When I was a kid, growingup in Northern Ohio (walkingto school, up hill both ways)would walk or wait for the busin a winter coat, with glovesand a hat. It certainly wasn’tgreat, but the clothing made itbearable and safe.

“So it may be a matter ofstudents realizing that when itis cold, you dress up like it iscold outside. This may allowthe temperature which causesschool closings or delays tohappen at a lower temper-ature, to the point where evenwith appropriate winter cloth-ing it could still be dangerous.

“As a final note, my kidsdon’t dress appropriately andthey both have winter coats. Itry and what I repeatedly tellmy son is “Even the toughestguys in my high school ownedwinter coats, hats and glovesand they wore them when itwas winter.” He just nodsfrom his hoodie, grabs his

lunch with no gloves andheads out into the cold, coldweather.”

C.S.

“I wonder if those who areobjecting to the school clos-ings due to the cold weatherare aware of the fact that theschool buses are diesel en-gines which do not work wellin extremely cold temper-atures. Not only are the chil-dren spared the waiting in subzero wind chills, but they arealso spared waiting in a buswith no heat when it breaksdown and a tow truck is re-quired.

“The schools could remainopen and require parents tobring the children one car at atime. Just imagine that trafficjam!”

D.O’C.

“A most important valueour schools should teach isresponsibility both to commu-nity and family. That of coursemeans the schools should alsobe responsible. Sadly theschools failed that cold day.

“Rumpke picked up thetrash and recycles. The mailwas delivered and on time.The fast food shops were openand operating normally. Infact I did not observe a singlebusiness that was closed thatday due to low temperaturesand my obligations took methrough three Ohio counties.Only the schools were closed.School administrators yourgrade is F.”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat do you think aboutPresident Obama's proposal topay for two years of communi-ty college, effectively expand-ing school to K-14 by taxing529 college savings plans?

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

Winter has arrived and un-like bears, we do not need tohibernate during the coldmonths.

In fact, staying active ismore impor-tant now thanduring thosewarm summermonths whenoutside activ-ities like gar-dening andswimmingkeep us mov-ing.

Television,although thelifeline to the

outside world for many, is theculprit that leads to a sedentarylifestyle. The 2014 Cross-Plat-form report released by NielsonMedia Report Co. informs usthat viewing increases steadilyas we get older. Children age 2to 11 watch 24 hours a week.Adults between the ages of 35and 49 watch more than 33hours a week and once we passthe age of 65, that numberjumps to 49 hours per week.Maybe there should be a realityshow titled “American Idle.”

Getting off that couch maybe the hardest but the mostrewarding exercise you can do.Grab some hand weights in-stead of snacks, or use a station-ary bike while watching yourfavorite shows. These minimalchanges can get you thinking inthe right direction.

For the adventurous, winteroffers time for ice skating,skiing, snowboarding, winterhikes or building a snowman inthe front yard.

Cold weather may not appealto you personally, but don’t letlow temperatures also loweryour metabolism. There’s plen-ty to do indoors. You’ll find anunlimited supply of exerciseDVDs at your local store orlibrary that range from low-impact yoga to high- impactboot camp that you can do athome. Even household chorescan be a blessing! The bendingand stretching does much morefor you than clean your floor!

If group participation pro-vides the motivation you need,there are gyms and wellnesscenters eager to introduce youto fun ways to stay in shape.Tour facilities that you feel willmeet your needs. You’ll discov-er exercise classes, weightmanagement programs, dancelessons, spinning, kickboxing,warm water aerobics and more.

The ultimate goal is to stayactive - inside, outside, alone orin groups. Find a time thatworks for you and your life-style. Create realistic goals foryourself, write them down,believe that you can achievethose goals and take steps tomake the goals your reality.

PRICE HILL — Hockey isabout multi-tasking. That’swhat Elder High School coachJoe Del Prince will tell you.

A hockey player has to han-dle many things at once all at ahigh rate of speed — that’s partof what Del Prince thinksmakes hockey so compelling.

“I think it’s fast. I think it’shard-hitting. I think it’s excit-ing. Just scoring a goal is one ofthe most exciting things insports, I think,” said DelPrince. “Watch a game and lookat the guys celebrate who’vebeen doing it their whole life.”

His feelings about hockeyseem contagious. Elder’s beenplaying hockey for 13 years;the first eight were as a clubteam and the last five in theOhio High School Athletic As-sociation.

Del Prince has coached atElder for all 13 of those sea-sons; the last five as the varsityhead coach alongside assistantKen Sovern. The Panthershave 48 boys in the program —the most they’ve ever had.They also have 11wins this sea-son, the most in a single season.

“We had about 31-32 kidslast year,” Del Prince said. “Wedo have 11 seniors this year sothat’s going to a real issue go-ing forward — we’re going tohave to replace some of those

kids.” Replacing seniors is always

tough, no matter the sport, butDel Prince thinks hockey is agrowing sport, even on thewest side. “We don’t have rinkson the west side,” said DelPrince. “Kids growing up don’tthink about playing hockey in-stead of basketball.”

But that seems to be chang-ing. Del Prince pointed out thatElder seems to be getting moreplayers who learned the sportfrom a young age. That trans-lates to wins on the ice and acamaraderie in the lockerroom.

“Everybody on the team is agreat teammate — they’ve goteach others’ backs,” Del Princesaid. “On top of that, this is themost skilled team we’ve ever

had. Everybody on the rostercan score goals.”

Elder’s team captain is sen-ior Sam Coffaro with senior al-ternates Jason Martini andEvan Deller. “I don’t go in thelocker room. It’s their (cap-tains) job to take care of it,” DelPrince said.

Del Prince said Coffaro,who was captain last year, is acompetitor who does not wantto lose. Martini leads the teamsin goals scored and Deller is aphysical presence on the ice.

The Panthers have neverwon a Southwest Ohio HighSchool Hockey League playoffgame or a state playoff game.They hope to change that soon.

“That’s one of the goals weset at the beginning to the sea-son,” Del Prince said.

Elder’s Eric Mazza, No. 17, looks down ice in a game against Beavercreekon Jan. 10 at South Metro near Dayton. Elder lost 4-0.

GREEN TWP — The recordmay not be where they’d like,but what the record doesn’tshow is just how competitivethe Oak Hills High School boys’basketball team has beenthrough the first half of the sea-son.

The Highlanders went 6-6through their first 12 games.They’ve also played a demand-ing schedule.

“I think we’ve been compet-itive. I’m a little disappointed inour record,” said Oak Hillscoach Mike Price. “We’ve hadsome inconsistencies withhealth and injuries.”

In early January, Oak Hillslost four in a row. Price said hewas expecting to go throughthat stretch better. But they didplay Lakota East, Lakota West,Elder and La Salle – three ofwhom are ranked in the top 10 ofThe Enquirer Division I coach-es’ poll. Against East, Elder andLa Salle – teams that have acombined record of 38-4 – OakHills lost by single digits.

“I think we learned that wecan play with a lot of the bestteams in the city,” Price said. “Ithink we have to prepare a littlebetter. For Elder we playedgreat defense but our offensiveexecution wasn’t as good.Against East we played ex-tremely well, but being youngand inexperienced hurt us a lit-tle bit.”

Part of the Highlanders’

competitiveness comes fromhaving diverse contributionsfrom the roster.

“It’s been different people atdifferent times,” Price said.“That’s not a bad thing at all. Ithasn’t been any one guy. I reallyhope that it becomes more con-sistent with more guys.”

Price pointed out 6-foot-7senior center Caleb Cox sayinghe’s been consistent. Cox is av-eraging 11.7 points per gameand 7.5 rebounds (third in theGreater Miami Conference).

The Mother of MercyAthletic Department hashired a new Varsity HeadSoccer Coach, Diego Ge-rardo Quispe.

For two seasons,Quispe has been the ju-nior varsity soccer coachat Princeton HighSchool. Diego also servesas a trainer with Cincin-nati West and Ohio Elitesoccer clubs.

Quipse was born in Pe-ru and raised in Connect-icut. Diego has playedsoccer since he couldwalk. He was a four-yearvarsity player in highschool, but a career-end-

ing kneeinjury didnot allowhim to pur-sue soccerat the nextlevel. Hisplayingexperi-

ence also includes traveland premier teams.

“I am honored andgrateful for this opportu-nity to be a part of Moth-er of Mercy soccer,”Quispe said. “I plan to putforth all of my effort to-wards having a success-ful season, and I hope theplayers, parents, andcommunity will join mein this.”

Quispe has been ableto establish a clear phi-losophy regarding train-ing and team expecta-tions.

He states, “I love thechallenge of coachingthis beautiful game. Myphilosophy lies in one ofmy favorite quotes byPep Guardiola: ‘What Ihave learnt over theyears - I am aware tacticsare very important, butthe really great coachesare coaches of peopleand that human quality iswhat makes them betterthan the rest.’”

Diego and his wife,Jackie, reside in Spring-field Township.
