GREEN TWP. — The HamiltonCounty Sheriff’s Office will con-tinue providing deputies to helppatrol the township for anotherthree years.

At their board meetingMarch 9, the Green Townshiptrustees approved a resolutionauthorizing an agreement forpolice protection services withthe sheriff’s office and Hamil-ton County.

Trustee Vice Chairman Trif-

fon Callos said the township willpay the county $456,000 annual-ly for five deputy patrol officersfrom the sheriff’s office. Thethree-year agreement is effec-tive April 1 and runs throughMarch 31, 2018.

“That rate is the same as ourcurrent contract with the coun-ty,” Callos said. “It was very im-portant to me that we respectedthat figure. We were very fiscal-ly responsible and took all par-ties into consideration in thisagreement.”

As part of the agreement, he

said the sheriff’s office will alsodeputize five Green Townshippolice officers – three detec-tives, one evidence technicianand one traffic investigator –giving them countywide juris-diction and allowing the sher-iff’s office to call upon thosetownship officers when neededto assist with cases throughoutthe county.

In return for the deputizedtownship officers, Callos saidthe sheriff’s office will providean additional five patrol officerseach year to the township at no

cost.“It’s a unique approach and

it’s beneficial to both parties,”he said.

Green Township Police ChiefBart West said he’s pleased withthe agreement, as the extrastaffing from the sheriff’s of-fice allows the township policedepartment to implement a sev-enth police beat seven days aweek, 24 hours a day.

PRICE HILL — It’s not everyday a high-ranking CatholicChurch official stops by theWest Side to speak to highschool students.

Seton High School stu-dents and staff enjoyed arare opportunity to experi-ence just that March 9, whenHonduran Cardinal ÓscarAndrés Rodríguez Maradia-ga visited the school.

The Cardinal’s appear-ance resulted from an en-counter a group of Seton stu-dents and staff had with himin February when they were

on a mission trip to Hondu-ras. The group met CardinalRodríguez while they werein the Central Americancountry to work with theyouth there and participatein the Feast Day of Our Ladyof Suyapa, the patroness ofHonduras.

During their meeting, itwas discovered he was goingto be in Ohio this month tospeak to religious groupsand Cardinal Rodríguez toldthe students he would love tovisit Seton while he washere.

“We knew the Cardinalwas going to be in Cincinnatito talk to the religious at the

Athenaeum for the Year ofConsecrated Life,” Seton’scommunity service coordi-nator Sister Sandy Howe, aSister of Charity who chap-eroned the mission trip, said.

“I was grateful he waswilling to come and talk tothe youth at Seton. He’s veryimpressive.”

Cardinal Rodríguez is theArchbishop of Tegucigalpain Honduras, president ofCaritas Internationalis andwas president of the LatinAmerican Episcopal Confer-ence. He speaks seven lan-guages and received his redhat from Pope John Paul II.Before the 2005 conclave

that elected Pope Benedict,he was mentioned as a possi-ble pope.

Known for his charm andinternational charity work,he now also serves as thechairman of a group of eightcardinals who advise PopeFrancis on reforming theCatholic Church.

Seton junior Anna Lindle,a Green Township teen whowas on the mission trip toHonduras, said she neverimagined the Cardinal wouldactually be able to fit a visitto Seton into his busy sched-ule.

DELHI TWP. — A newbusiness catering to petowners is now open in thetownship.

Delhi resident AngelaSexton, a veteran petgroomer and animal train-er, opened PamperedPaws & Claws at 5327 Fo-ley Road on March 2.

“The people in thiscommunity are the bigdraw,” she said, notingmany of her clients live onthe West Side.

“Delhi residents havealways been friendly andwelcoming, so what bet-ter place to grow thanright here at home?”

A certified feline mas-ter groomer, Sexton isalso certified in advancedcanine grooming and scis-soring and is a certifiedcanine and equine mas-sage therapist. She is acertified professional petsitter and professionaldog trainer as well.

She previously ownedand operated A DoggieDay Spa and dog day carecenter in Western Hills,but closed that business in2012.

“The doggie day caredemanded so much timeand I wanted to focus sole-ly on grooming,” she said.

“I wanted to make myservices more personal-ized. I wanted a more per-sonal relationship withthe animals in my careand their owners, and alsoIwanted to do services foranimals other than justdogs.”

She said many pet

grooming shops have asterilized and hospital-ized feel to them, so shedesigned her new shop tolook more like a salon orspa for humans.

“My goal is for peopleto walk in and say, ‘I wantto get my hair cut here,’”she said.

While she mainly pro-vides grooming servicesfor cats and dogs, she canalso care for birds andother exotic animals. Shespecializes in workingwith animals that havebeen mistreated or havespecial needs, and is oftencalled upon by area res-cue organizations to workwith abused animals.

Sexton, who grew up inPrice Hill, said owning abusiness can be stressfulat times, but, ultimately,it’s very rewarding.

“I enjoy the satisfac-tion of being able to makea difference for the petsthat come through thedoor,” she said.

Pampered Paws &Claws offers services byappointment only.

Interested pet ownerscan call 407-6855 or visitwww.delhipamperedpawsandclaws.com for in-formation.

McAuley High SchoolTwo unselfish McAuley soph-

omores have turned their griefand pain into efforts to help oth-ers.

Annie Klein and HannahSteers each both lost their fa-thers when they were 5- and 3-years-old respectively. Theywere helped through their child-hood grief by Fernside, whichwas established in 1986. It is thenation’s second largest chil-dren’s grief center and providesall services to children free ofcharge, relying upon the gener-osity of donors. Today, morethan 1,000 children, teens andadults attend support groups an-nually.

On Nov. 20, Klein and Steers,who regularly volunteer everyother Wednesday at Fernsidesupport sessions, were part ofFernside’s Blue Out on FountainSquare, to observe Children’sGrief Awareness Day. They dis-tributed grief tips and treats,and participated in an enormousballoon launch at the end of themid-day program.

Klein began her volunteer-ism last year because she “reallywanted to give back.”

Steers said, “I benefitted tre-mendously from this programwhen I was younger. In fact, ithad such a huge impact that Iwas able to point out the class-room I was in after 11 years ofnot being there!”

Klein is the daughter ofJoAnn Klein of White Oak andSteers is the daughter of JackieSteers of Green Township.

Oak Hill Schools» Oak Hills Local School Dis-

trict recognizes the importanceof learning not just for students,but for everyone. In February,staff attended two conferencesto learn, present and networkwith peers statewide.

The Ohio Middle Level Asso-ciation Conference broughtteachers from across the state toSandusky to focus on the needsof young adolescents. MelissaClaus (Bridgetown MiddleSchool), Phoebe Dierkers(Bridgetown) and Renee Stick-ley (Rapid Run Middle School),were three of the nine teachersfrom Oak Hills who presented atthe OMLA conference.

“Our presentation focused onhow teachers can incorporatestandards based learning in themath classroom,” Claus said.

Dierkers added, “The sessiongave teachers an opportunity tohear about the success of thesepractices in their classroom andthe benefits that their studentshave witnessed.”

Reflecting on the conferencelater, Oak Hills attendees statedthat the sessions provoked manythoughtful questions, hands-onengagement and opportunitiesfor networking with other edu-cation professionals fromaround the state. As a result, OakHills staff have been receivingcommunication from other at-tendees with additional ques-tions on ways to implement theStandards Based Learning mod-el.

At the same time, in Colum-bus, another group of Oak Hills’staff attended the Ohio Educa-tional Technology Conference,the premier P20 state education-

al technology conference. OakHills had seven staff memberschosen to give five presenta-tions and one workshop at theconference.

Teachers attending JamieDicks’ (Delhi Middle School)presentation, “IntegratingSTEM Lessons into Math andScience Classrooms While In-corporating the Use of Technol-ogy,” walked away from this ses-sion with ready-to-use lessonsthat tie in to the common corefor grades seven-12 mathemat-ics and science classrooms us-ing web tools that they could im-plement in their own class-rooms.

“I felt that the conferencewas beneficial because I wasable to see how other teachersare effectively using technologyin their classrooms in order toprepare students for the rigor-ous content that they are re-quired to learn,” Dicks said.

Oak Hills High School» Debbie Stallo and her tran-

sition class at Oak Hills HighSchool have partnered with Bre-whaus Bakery Co. on a new en-deavor. They’re getting real-world job experience and help-ing the community– the four-legged, furry community.

The non-profit organizationproduces handmade dog bis-cuits that are home cooked bystudents from several highschool transition classes inGreater Cincinnati.

Brewhaus provides all of thenecessary supplies for the stu-dents to use while working atOak Hills including molds, pans,staff t-shirts and grains sourcedfrom local micro-breweries.They have welcomed the helpfrom the Highlanders with openpaws.

“It’s really a neat opportunityand project that landed in ourlaps,” Stallo said. “We were all on

board immediately after weheard about what they were do-ing and what their mission was.”

Brewhaus was founded by Li-sa Graham, a social worker atMercy Anderson Hospital,whose daughter is in a class verysimilar to the one Stallo teaches,with a vision to open a storewhere she can eventually em-ploy the students and others inthe area who are participatingwith the organization. Grahamand her workers at New Rich-mond High School began mak-ing the dog biscuits and sellingthem to teachers. Eventually,the word got out.

“We are essentially trainingour students for a real-life job inthe future, if the company con-tinues to grow and flourish,”Stallo said. “Our students havereally taken to the project. Theytake it upon themselves to learnabout our product, the processby which it is made, as well asthe many different tasks.”

Tasks completed by the stu-dents include mixing, molding,baking, bagging and selling.

The Highlander student bak-ers wear their Brewhaus T-shirts and immediately get towork on school days when foodsclasses are not using the ovens.

“When they work they put ontheir Brewhaus shirts and are sofocused when they are makingthe treats,” Stallo said. “It gets soquiet in our classroom when weare working.”

A unique highlight to Bre-whaus are their locally sourcedingredients. Their main ingredi-ent, the spent brewery grains,are provided by local micro-breweries on brewing days toguarantee the highest fresh-ness. Locally sourced eggs fromone of Graham’s neighbors, whoraises cage and cruelty-freechickens, are included in themix.

Stallo and her team will be at

the Oak Hills Band Associationcraft fair from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.March 7, selling bags of theirhandmade treats. Each individ-ual bag is six ounces and costsjust five dollars with all pro-ceeds benefitting BrewhausBakery’s dream of opening astore.

Every bag of treats is signedby the student who made them.Visit the Brewhaus website atwww.brewhausdogbones.comto learn more about your specif-ic baker under the biographiessection and find out more infor-mation about the organization.Search Brewhaus Dog Bones tofollow them on Facebook.

Seton High SchoolDuring the annual St. Eliza-

beth Ann Seton Feast Day cele-bration and Mass, Seton HighSchool honored their sponsoredministry, the Sisters of Charity.

The legacy of two formerprincipals – Sister Kathryn AnnConnelly and Sister Mark Neu-mann, was celebrated with aspecial presentation. Additional-ly, every Sister that has workedat Seton High School is now rec-

ognized with their years of ser-vice on a plaque outside the audi-torium.

“Since opening our doors in1927, Seton High School has beenincredibly blessed with wonder-ful supporters,” Senior Directorof Development Jennifer Duna-way said. “Our alumnae, donors,students, families, faculty anddedicated volunteers are trulythe heart of this school. With thatin mind, there is perhaps nogroup more inspiring than ourSisters of Charity.”

Many of these dear sisterswere once students here them-selves.

“Over the years they havebeen our teachers, principals,board members, volunteers andmentors’” she added. “To seetheir dedication not only to theirministry, but uniquely to SetonHigh School is incredible to wit-ness.”

The inauguration of the Neu-mann was a special moment dur-ing the morning celebration.Neumann passed away in 1990;however, many of her familymembers were at Seton duringthe mass and ceremony in herhonor. This giving society’sfunds are designated to supportcapital projects and facility im-provements for Seton HighSchool. Neumann served as Se-ton’s principal from 1970-1976.

“She served during a time ofsocial and educational changesas well as during the excitementof the canonization of the firstAmerican-born Saint and our pa-troness, Elizabeth Ann Seton,”Dunaway said. “After her timeas principal she continued towork with the school as a volun-teer when needed, and then alsoon staff in the development of-fice, playing a key part in theearliest Annual Fund Drives andmini-carnival, as well as advanc-ing the mission of Seton HighSchool. It is very fitting that herlegacy be carried out throughthe establishment of the SisterMark Neumann Circle of Chari-ty in support of the sustainabil-ity of Seton High School righthere in Price Hill,” Dunawaysaid.

In 1976 Connelly became theprincipal of Seton High School.Under her leadership for thenext seven years, Seton evolvedand transitioned into the 1980s.In 1983 Connelly took on the roleof the Archdiocese of CincinnatiSuperintendent of CatholicSchools; and in 1988 she wasnamed as the Archdiocese ofCincinnati director of education-al services.

“As superintendent, KathrynAnn left a legacy of building bestpractices among CincinnatiCatholic schools as she focusedon current educational researchand theory as well as ‘mission ef-fectiveness. She has been na-tionally recognized for her writ-ings and work as the Presidentof Chief Administrators ofCatholic Education – making animpact on Catholic educationacross the country.

“While Kathryn Ann’s legacyreaches well beyond Seton oreven Cincinnati, we are proudand honored to call her an alum-na,” Dunaway said. “We are alsohonored and humbled to intro-duce the Sister Kathryn AnnConnelly Planned Giving Soci-ety.”

MARCH 18, 2015 • WESTERN HILLS PRESS • A7NEWS

My favorite cookie sheet isdecades old. It cost a lot less than

my restaurant qual-ity sheets which Ibought years later.When I use that oldcookie sheet, I findmyself smiling,remembering whenmy boys were littleand they shapedcookie dough intoworms, tanks andbugs to bake on it.That’s a piece of

equipment with a history.Whenever I have a speaking

engagement about food or family, Ilike to ask participants what their

most treasured kitchen item is. Itseems like just about everybodyhas a favorite utensil, pot, or gadg-et. “Mine is my mother’s sifter”,one lady said. Another mentionedrolling pans from grandma. Oneyoung person I mentored trea-sured his dad’s apron: “He worethat apron every time he cookeddinner on the grill. Now I wear it”,he said. So don’t get rid of that wellloved kitchen item when you re-place it with new. Pass it down tokeep the traditions and memoriesgoing.

Mike, a Clermont County read-er, needs a recipe for dairy freerolls that are suitable for diabetics.Here’s a good one. I baked these on

my old cookie sheet and theyturned out just fine.

Can you help?Great Scott’s chowder. Trish M.

remembers this chowder fondly.“Great Scott restaurant made thebest potato, corn and jalapenochowder. I've tried to duplicate itbut it's just not the same. I knowthey have closed but is there anychance you can get the recipe? Itwas one of our families favorites.”

Diabetics can enjoy dinner rolls too

Dairy free, egg free dinner rolls

Powdered creamer is used by more than a few bakers toachieve a nice tasting, dairy free, dinner roll. I was surprisedmyself at how well these turned out. They tasted as good asmy higher fat rolls. Nice alongside that Easter ham. Thesefreeze well after baking.

Diabetic exchange: The diabetic exchange is 1-1/2 starch,1/2 fat for each roll. You can make these by hand or machine.

1 tablespoon rapid rise yeast plus a couple pinches sugar2-1/4 cups warm water (110-115 degrees)1/3 cup sugar1/3 shortening1/4 cup powdered nondairy creamer2-1/4 teaspoons salt5-6 cups bread flour

Preheat oven to 350. Dissolve yeast and pinches of sugarin warm water. In a mixing bowl, add sugar, shortening, cream-er, salt and 5 cups flour. Add yeast and mix well on low speed.Turn to medium and beat until smooth. Add more flour ifnecessary to make a soft, but sticky dough. Either knead it for6-8 minutes by machine or by hand. If doing by hand, turn outon floured surface. Knead until smooth, like a baby’s bottom.Place in bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coattop. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punchdown and turn out onto lightly floured surface; divide into18-24 pieces. Shape each piece into a roll. Place 2” apart onsprayed baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, 30-45minutes. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until light golden brown.

Fruited chicken salad from Lazarus

I have a file of department store restaurant recipes. Ashappens occasionally, someone stopped me at the grocery andasked if I had a recipe for this particular one. Anyway, here’sthe recipe with my side notes, from the Columbus store, Ibelieve.

SaladMix together:

4 cups cooked chicken, cubed or chunked up8 oz. diced dates1 cup diced pineapple -- drained1 cup diced celery1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted if you want

DressingWhisk together:

2 cups Miracle Whip salad dressing1 teaspoon sugar1/4 cup evaporated milk2 tablespoons lemon juiceJuice from pineapple -- as needed

Pour dressing over salad and toss gently. This would benice served atop a lettuce leaf.

“Where did you go to highschool?” The question is oftenasked; because in many waysit defines who we are – andhow others perceive us.

I’m reminded of the time Iwas eating lunch at XavierUniversity with a group offellow freshman; graduatesfrom St. Xavier, La Salle, Rog-er Bacon and Woodward. Sur-prisingly, I was the center ofattention - simply for havingattended Elder. They toldtheir personal stories of beingat “The Pit.” Those whoplayed football or basketballthere considered it to be thehighlight of their high schoolcareer.

I was envied because of myschool’s spirit, expressed bywhat they considered to be“the best cheering section inthe city.” “What a show! Whatwas it like to be a part of it?How did it happen?” The com-plimentary commentary putme on a pedestal.

Taking full advantage ofmy 15 minutes of fame feel-ing, I thoughtfully replied,“Well…it was like being at arock concert, a spiritual reviv-al, and a prison riot – all at thesame time! But it didn’t hap-pen by chance. The karmawas created by a carefully-

scriptedwarm-up act.”Captivated,they wanted toknow more. Itwas time forme to tell theWyatt EarpStory.

In the re-bellious ‘60s,the act of

passing-up “pretty” girls whowalked in front of the cheer-ing section drew the ire ofparents, school administrators– and the girls who didn’t getpassed-up. To restore andmaintain order, Cincinnati’smost trusted law enforcementofficer was called upon. Hepositioned himself directly infront of the cheering section;to keep traffic moving. Hisno-nonsense manner earnedhim the nick name “WyattEarp,” after the fearless law-man of Western folklore -made popular by the top-ratedtelevision show.

To pay him homage for ajob well done, as part of thepre-game ritual, the cheeringsection would sing the show’scatchy theme song. Beginningslow and softly: the words,“Wyatt Earp, Wyatt Earp,brave courageous and bold.

Long live his fame, and longlive his glory, and long mayhis story be told,” were sungin perfect harmony.

Over and over and over thechorus continued; increasing-ly getting louder and faster.Pretending not to hear, theiconic Mr. Earp would goabout his important work.Then, at just the right mo-ment, in one continuous mo-tion, he would turn around,face the cheering section, andthrust his arm high in the air.

His “gentlemen start yourengines” signal ignited a roarof pandemonium! As the teamraced onto the field the cheer-ing section was already inhigh gear – anticipating anoth-er victory lap.

The spirit of Wyatt Earpstill exists in the hearts andminds of those who lived it.Many argue over which end ofthe stadium he’s buried. And,at crucial times, when the ballbounces in the Panthers favor,many believe it’s becauseWyatt Earp is still working hismagic.

“This one surprised me abit. Didn’t know we didn’t al-ready allow open containersin many parts of Cincinnati.Would not want two of my ad-mired places to get in trouble.Lines of people waiting in thestreet for a table, while enjoy-ing their ‘adult beverages’ atone of them, never seem tohave any conflicts.

“The logic of letting peoplewalk outside at another, toavoid annoying guests andbreaking the law by smokinginside, makes sense to me. I’ma recovering nicotine addict,embarrassed by how 30 yearsago I must have really an-noyed so many with my habit.As I stood on a street corner inKey West, talking to a uni-formed police officer, whileholding a large ‘adult bever-age’ I inquired about the‘street law’ there. His replywas exactly how I believe itshould be. ‘Are you causingany trouble? Didn’t think so.Guess there is no problem.’”

D.B.

“The Reds now start theOpening Day game at 4:15.They shut off Freedom Way

March 11 questionA bill to allow cities to create

open-container districts muchlike those in New Orleans orMemphis, Tennessee, appearslikely to pass the Ohio Legisla-ture this year, and Cincinnati of-ficials hope the bill becomeslaw by Opening Day, April 6. Isthis a good idea or a bad idea?Why or why not?

“I think it is a good idea ifyou want the open containerdistrict to have the smell offresh urine, with the ownersof establishments needing tobasically hose down allaround their places eachmorning to eliminate the odor.

“I think right now, there isenough opportunity to drink,with enough bars, in closeenough proximity that a per-son can go from one bar to thenext without having to bringtheir alcohol with them.

“I’m not against drinking,but I don’t think anyone thathas been down to any sportingevent or into the OTR VineStreet areas feel that notenough opportunities to drinkare occurring.’

C.S.

and Joe Nuxhall Way for thatday. They have three to fourvery large ‘beer trailers’ set-up and 16-ounce plastic bottlesare sold, one per customer for$5. The open container is con-trolled within that area. I amnot sure the benefit of expand-ing this beyond certain spe-cial Reds games such as theAll Star game and playoffs. Ifthe local bars are in favor thentry it on an experimental ba-sis. You can count on folkssneaking their own alcoholinto the area. Go Figure!”

COLUMBUS — It was a downyear for Cincinnati area wres-tlers, especially West Siders, atthe OHSAA wrestling tourna-ment March 12-14 at Ohio State’sSchottenstein Center. Only adown year in terms of the podi-um.

St. Xavier senior Cole Jonesand Middletown Madison juniorNick Svarda were the only localstate champions.

Jones won the Division I 220-pound state championship witha 3-1 win in overtime over Olm-sted Falls’ Noel Caraballo. Thewin capped a 41-0 season. It’s thesecond straight season that St.X has had an undefeated statechampion (Joe Heyob at 170 in2014).

“It feels great. It feels like itall paid off,” Jones said. “It’ssurreal. I didn’t know it was go-ing to be like this.”

In the match, Jones said hewas a little upset because hewanted to “beat him worse but itended up working out.”

Jones said he couldn’t thinkof a better way to end his highschool career: “Undefeated,state champ,” he said through agrin.

“It’s great when you have akid come in as a freshman andhe just does what you ask...itshows,” St. Xavier coach TomWynn said. “It’s fun to see himwhen he’s in his own element,just getting it done.”

Elder sent six wrestlers tostate, but none were able toplace. They were: Austin Mur-phy (113), Jake Meridieth (126),Connor Craig (145), Ti’Ric Ev-ans (152), Andrew Taylor (160)and Gage Brock (195). Brock

and Murphy were the only Pan-thers to win matches at state.

Oak Hills’ Dylan Buis (132)was the first Highlander since2011 to make it to state. Buiscame one win away from the po-dium, losing in the second con-

solation round. La Salle’s three sophomores

at state were Corey Shie (132),Eric Beck (138) and AndrewSams (145). Shie was the loneLancer to win a match and nonereached the podium.

WESTWOOD — Not all thatlong ago, just four years, ToriBrackett was an average bow-ler who, on a good day, foundher way into triple digits.Nothing glamorous, but shefound it fun, propelled furtherinto the sport by her friends.She was a freshman then, andher love for the sport was be-ginning to blossom.

Now, the Mother of Mercysenior can say she’s one of thetop bowlers in the state, defi-nitely in the area. Brackettqualified individually to theDivision I state tournament af-ter rolling a 617 three-game se-ries at the district tournamentMarch 5. Brackett’s 617 wasthe eighth-highest total at thedistrict tournament.

At the state tournamentMarch 13 in Columbus, Brack-ett rolled a 515 series and fin-ished 44th in the state out ofroughly 120 bowlers. Brackettclosed out her high schoolbowling career with a 214 inher third and final game.

“Her first year she aver-aged 106 (a game) and a lot oftimes she didn’t break 100,”said Mercy coach Joe Lenger-ich. “That’s what I tell my (cur-rent) freshman, ‘look at whatTori did in four years.’”

Brackett credited herfriends and teammates forhelping her stick with thesport early on.

Mercy actually qualified asa team last season to state, soBrackett had a little experi-ence, but this year she was allby her lonesome.

“It’s gonna be strange,”Brackett said before state onthe absence of her teammates.

“I’ve been trying to get someof them to go.”

Brackett said she does getnervous, but she’s gotten goodat calming herself down, sim-ply by talking to herself on thelane.

“Yea, I get nervous. But, Itake deep breaths, block ev-eryone out and go,” she said.

Brackett’s daily practiceroutine and four-year careerhave given her perspective.She knows where she was,where she is and how she gotthere. Her greatest ability,she’s learned, is to let the badframes go; never linger on afailure, keep moving forward.

“I wouldn’t say this at thebeginning of the year, but nowI can leave the frame that Imessed up on behind and keepgoing to a new frame. I act likeit’s a new game,” Brackettsaid.

Lengerich summed upBrackett by saying, “she’s acompetitor; she’ll do every-thing she can to win. She’s apressure bowler. She doesn’tget rattled.”

» Elder’s late push wasn’tenough as the Panthers fell 67-62 to Centerville in a Division Idistrict final March 14 at UDArena. Elder had 30 points inthe fourth quarter, but itwasn’t enough to overcomeCenterville’s 15-0 run to startthe second half.

Junior Frankie Hofmeyerled Elder with a game-high 24points. Elder finished the year22-3, its winningest seasonsince 2006.

“It was a tremendous year.Not too many teams in Elderhistory have won 22 games,”

Elder coach Joe Schoenfeldtold Enquirercontributor MattMulcahey after the game. “Wetold the guys we’re proud ofthem. I wish we could’ve takenit just a few steps further, justbecause it would’ve been funto keep working together withthis group.”

COLLEGE HILL — Con-sistency is the name of thegame in bowling. That’slargely why McAuleyHigh School junior Nat-alie DeMeo of Delhi Town-ship has been so success-ful. Also part of why shequalified individually forthe Division I state tour-nament March 13 in Co-lumbus.

DeMeo’s performanceat state wasn’t her best.She’ll tell you that, and sowill her numbers. She fin-ished 58th (out of about120 bowlers) with a 478three-game series. But,just a junior, a year ofstate experience underher belt should only bol-ster her confidence head-ing into next season. Bycomparison, DeMeo tal-lied a 619 series at the dis-trict tournament to quali-fy to state.

During the regular sea-son, DeMeo led the GirlsGreater Catholic Leaguewith a 196.8 game aver-age. She also helped theMohawks to a sectionalchampionship and aGGCL championship.McAuley finished 20-3 inthe regular season.

“She’s very consistent,she works on her game alot,” said McAuley coachKen Homer. “She’s verystrong in her mechanics,consistent with her re-lease. If I had five bowlerslike that we’d all be atstate.”

DeMeo’s attraction tobowling stems from twothings: First, she says “it’sjust calming.” Second, herteammates, friends andothers in the sport arepeople she loves.

“At the beginning ofthe year, I wanted to go tostate,” Natalie said. “Iwould have liked to gowith my team, but it’s ex-citing.”

Homer said Natalie’s inthe business of settinggoals. DeMeo and the Mo-hawks did pretty good thisyear.

“She’s already reachedevery goal she’s set,”Homer said. “She hadthree main goals. One wasto win the GGCL tourna-ment; two was win(McAuley’s) sectional andthree was make it to state.If we couldn’t have done it(qualify for state) as ateam (Natalie) wouldhave been the person Iwould have expected toadvance.”

DeMeo’s season wasnot without adversity.That’s just part of whatHomer and the Mohawkslike from their junior.

“She started out strongthis year, faded down thestretch a little with herspare shooting, but sheworked on her cornersand got herself back up towhere she was,” Homersaid.

Experience isn’t over-rated. DeMeo, who saidshe was surprised that shemade it to state, realizedits importance before shemade the trip to Colum-bus.

“It’s good experience,”DeMeo said.
