Loveland Farmers Markethas new location
MARIKA LEE/ THE COMMUNITY PRESS
Loveland Farmers Market opened May 5 at its new location at the oldLoveland Lanes site, 897 Loveland-Madeira Road. The market moved fromdowntown Loveland because of the construction of Loveland Station. TheLoveland Downtown Parking Advisory Committee said the amount ofpeople the market drew into the Downtown contributed to a parkingproblem. At its new location, the market has parking at the old bowlingalley and at the neighboring Loveland Skateland. The market is open 3 p.m.to 7 p.m. Tuesdays through October.
MIAMI TOWNSHIP — One ofGreater Cincinnati’s largestoperators of nursing homesand retirement communitieshas begun its ninth small housedevelopment in Ohio, this onein Clermont County’s MiamiTownship.
Otterbein Senior LifestyleChoices’ $10 million skillednursing and rehabilitation cen-ter at 750 Loveland-MiamivilleRoad off Interstate 275 willcreate about 90 jobs, said ZachMills, Otterbein’s small houseproject manager. The fivehomes in a residential settingfocus on de-institutionalizingtraditional skilled nursinghome care and providing ahome-like environment forresidents.
The first of the five ranch-style homes is expected toopen next April, Mills said.
“We’ve already started waitlists (in Miami Township),” hesaid.
Mary Makley Wolff, chairof the Miami Township Boardof Trustees, said it’s appropri-ate that the groundbreakingfor Otterbein’s latest projectwas May 1 because that kickedoff Older Americans Month.
“Otterbein has a tremen-dously good track record in thefield of long term care,” Wolffsaid. “They have a sterling rep-utation.”
Wolff said the project rep-resents the latest concept inskilled nursing care, as its de-sign is driven by care needsand living needs.
“This is what nursinghomes look like now,” she said.
“They’re not these big institu-tions. This is the newest con-cept in freedom of choice forolder adults.”
Wolff said the project willoffer senior citizens morehousing choices and provide amore home-like environment,which is especially beneficialfor older residents with memo-ry impairment.
Although Otterbein’s homesare geared toward residents 70and older, they also can accom-modate residents in their 50sand 60s who are still workingbut need to undergo rehabilita-tion.
Each of the 7,000 squarefoot houses can accommodateup to 10 residents. Besides pri-vate suites, each with its ownbathroom, the building in-

When somebody stole a trail-er, canoes and kayaks fromTeam River Runner, LovelandCanoe & Kayak came to the res-cue.
The thief stole this equip-ment from disabled war veter-ans. Team River Runner is a na-tional organization whose goalis “to create an environment ofhealthy adventure for healingactive duty and veteran servicemembers through paddlesports.” Dr. Janet Everhard,Cincinnati TRR volunteer orga-nizer, said the equipment, val-ued at about $14,000, is used tohelp heal disabled war veteransthrough paddling events onarea lakes and rivers.
The equipment was likelystolen sometime in Novemberwhile in storage at the IzaakWalton League property alongthe Little Miami River. Since itwas out of season, the theft wasnot discovered right away. Theydidn’t realize it was gone untilFebruary. Josh Palmer, TRRequipment manager, discov-ered the theft when he went tocheck on the equipment asweather started getting warm-er. The equipment wasn’t there.
“Fortunately we found outabout it. It wasn’t like the nightbefore the event,” Everhardsaid. “If we had found out about
it in late March, just before ourevent, they could have derailedus for an entire season. Ourwhole mission would have beenderailed because of the lack ofequipment.”
That’s where Mark Bersani,owner Loveland Canoe & Kayakcomes in. He learned about thetheft from TRR on their Face-book page. Within 48 hours, Ber-sani stepped in with the equip-ment to save the mission.
“We donated four kayaks,”Bersani said. “Then we donatedfour paddles, four life-jackets,and the use of our trailer untilthey are able to get a new one.”
All four kayaks donated byLC&K are made by JacksonKayak including two Riviera’s,
great for pool sessions andlakes, and two Rogues’ for flatwater up to Class 3 Whitewater.Actually Bersani decided hemay just donate the trailer per-manently as well. Ron Grosso, afriend of Bersani’s also donatedtwo more kayaks; one of his ownand one he raised the money todonate. Others also donatedmoney to help.
“The kayaking community iswell aware of what we do andthey fuel our volunteer base,”Everhard said. “Donationscame in from everywhere. RonGrosso, incredibly generous,Mark, incredibly generous giv-ing us boats, paddles and (per-
sonal flotation devices) reallyhelped up our boat category.”
What Loveland Canoe & Kay-ak, and all who donated equip-
ment, did is more than incredi-bly generous. Just ask JonStone, volunteer TRR programcoordinator, and a U.S. Marine

Corps veteran.“It’s life-saving,” said Stone, who
has struggled with PTSD since re-turning to civilian life. Being intro-duced to Team River Runner savedhis life. Stone is able to articulateclearly the struggles many veteransof war face when they return home.
“We’re not used to being in need,”he said. “It’s not a comfortable idea.As an organization, we’re trying tohelp vets. Getting in the boats istherapy itself.”
Stone explained how veteranslike him chose to serve, to lay downtheir lives for our country. Cominghome disabled, whether with visiblephysical wounds, or invisible emo-tional or mental wounds, veteranswant to continue to contribute andnot depend on others. For Stone,Team River Runner is a way to con-
tribute to veterans helping veteransbecome active again.
“We’re very appreciative ofMark for donating the equipment,”Stone said. “We have a mission to getvets on the water. We need boats todo that. TRR saves veterans lives.”
Bersani attended their 2015 kick-off kayak football game at M.E. Ly-ons YMCA pool. After witnessingtheir youthful exuberance, playinglike kids, and having a good time inthe water, emotion spilled over intohis words of thanks to the veteransthere. He saw first-hand how someof these veterans struggle just tolead a normal life.
“What we did is so small,” Bersa-ni said. “Giving some equipment iseasy, what they did is difficult.They’ve made a sacrifice that will bewith them the rest of their life.”

Azar, the crime-fight-ing German Shepherd re-sponsible for 100 drugsearches and thousands inillegal drug-money sei-zures, is turning in hisbadge after eight yearswith the Loveland PoliceDepartment.
Loveland City Councilpassed a resolution mak-ing his retirement officialon April 28. Azar will getto spend retirement withhis partner, Sgt. Jose Ale-jandro, who now ownsAzar thanks to the Coun-cil.
“Azar has had a greatcareer with us. He has hador led to 12 apprehen-sions,” Loveland PoliceChief Tim Sabranskysaid, highlighting one in-cident when Azar and Ale-jandro tracked suspectsfor miles on foot afterthey fled from an accident
involving a stolen car. Af-ter going through mud, ra-vines and a creek, Azarand Alejandro were ableto arrest two of the sus-pects.
Azar has performedabout 100 drug searches,including one that led tothe seizure of more than$12,000 from illegal drugsales, and 20 demonstra-tions.
“He didn’t just work inLoveland. He would becalled out to all the otherdepartments that neededa K-9 as well,” Sabranskysaid.
Azar is 10 years old andoriginally from Poland.Alejandro joked that Azarspeaks ‘Spanglish,’ as Ale-jandro, who is fluent inSpanish, is often calledupon by surrounding de-partments to translate.
“The bond between theofficer and the dog is justunbelievable. That’s whatmakes them work, makes
them special and that iswhy it is so important weretire a K-9, he and thehandler continue to livetogether,” Sabranskysaid.
Alejandro helped startthe department’s K-9 unitand Azar is the second K-9he has worked with. Hewill now become the su-pervisor of the unit. Offi-cer Kyle Bibelhausen willbecome the new K-9 offi-cer, working with K-9Mack, who will be in train-ing until June.

raised $58,000 in magazinesales with a net profit of $23,402to use for an ever-developingtechnology program is getting aboost in three Loveland schoolsthanks to $58,000 in magazinesales with a net proft of $23,402.
Loveland ElementarySchool, Loveland PrimarySchool and Loveland EarlyChildhood Center will benefitfrom the fundraiser.
LES plans to utilize their por-tion to support an ever-develop-ing technology program in thebuilding. Loveland ElementaryPrincipal Jennifer Forren saidthe new funds raised will com-plement the recent addition ofsome 160 new Chromebook de-vices – a purchase which wasthe result of a district invest-ment and donation by the PTA.
“This is an age-appropriateinvestment for our third andfourth grade students,” Forrensaid. “These are the tools weneed to propel them forward ac-ademically; we sincerely appre-ciate the support the communi-ty showed us during the maga-zine sale drive.”
Loveland Primary is usingthe money to purchase addition-al leveled books to support andexpand the school’s targetedreading homework system. Theadditional books bring theschool closer to the goal of ev-ery student taking home appro-priate reading level practicematerials nightly that are tar-geted specifically for the indi-vidual student.
"We know that the more tar-geted our homework can be forindividual students, the betterresults we are going to see in thegrowth each child makes,”Loveland Primary PrincipalKevin Fancher said. “Our goalis to help students enjoy read-ing while allowing them to readtext at their level. The addition-al materials improve our abilityto meet the needs of our grow-ing readers."
LECC’s share will be used incombination with money fromother fundraiser efforts to up-grade the building’s playgroundarea.
“This is the third year thatLECC, LPS and LES have collab-oratively run this fundraiserand shared the proceeds,”
LECC Principal Kyle Bush said.“In the past we pushed for tab-let devices in the classrooms,additional books to augment ourleveled reader collection, andeven trees that were planted inthe student play area. This yearwe are focusing on a moderate-ly ambitious series of additionsto our playground. None of thiswould be happening without thesupport that our school commu-nity provides to these fundrais-ing initiatives.”

I’m pretty sure you won’t see a photo like the mo-rels pictured here just anywhere.
What a bounty! Of course, I can’t tellyou where we forage for them, but takemy word for it: they were huge and agourmet treat.
Morels are going for about $60 apound right now. Jean Robert de Cavelhas them on his menu, and other chefslucky enough to have a source are do-ing the same thing. But it’s fun to knowthat a country girl and her friends canenjoy the whole process, from foragingto eating.
Here’s my simple recipe with op-tions for using other mushrooms. Mushrooms containantioxidants and vitamin D, which lots of folks havein short supply.
Readers want to knowWhat is an easy way to chop mint and basil without
making it turn dark?The reason herbs turn dark after chopping is that
they oxidize - the cut parts exposed to air turn dark asthey sit. To quickly chop a lot of mint or basil, stackseveral leaves and roll them up tight long ways, like acigar. Then slice width-wise into narrow pieces tomake long thin strips, also called julienne slices. Chopthe strips again for smaller slices, or leave them as isand you’ll get pretty ribbons of herbs.

Rita has a secret morel patch, whip up lasagna for 2Sautéed gourmet mushrooms
Delicious as a side, or an appetizer on good qualitytoast. Try them as a topping for grilled steak. If you arelucky enough to have morels, let them soak about 10minutes in water with a bit of salt added. This makes allthe little creatures that might be in the mushrooms leavetheir happy abode.
Then drain, rinse and drain again. Dry thoroughlyand cut into halves or quarters. If you are using the mixedwild mushroom blends, slice as necessary.
Now this is a go to taste recipe. Use a large skillet sothat mushrooms cook quickly without steaming. I tossed insome watercress from our spring-fed pool right at the end.
Jean Robert adds a splash of liqueur. I sometimes adda splash of brandy while the mushrooms are cooking.
8 oz. mushrooms1/4 cup butter or bit more if needed - I usually add
more1 small shallot, minced1 teaspoon garlic, mincedSalt and pepper to tasteHeavy whipping cream, unwhipped (optional)Parsley chopped (optional)
Heat butter and add shallots and garlic together.Cook over low heat until shallots are tender but notbrown. Add everything but cream and cook over mediumheat until mushrooms are tender. Add cream to taste andlet it cook a bit until desired consistency is reached.

Top with 1/3 cup cheese mixtureand 1/3 cup mozzarella. Repeat layers twice, toppingwith remaining noodle and sauce. Bake, covered, 25minutes.

A publication of
Napoleon famously said thatan army marches on its stom-ach.
Consideringwhat our CivilWar soldiersate, it’s a mir-acle theymoved at all.Their basicmarchingration waseight to 10pieces of hard-tack and a pintof coffee per
day.Hardtack was a flour and
water bisquit three-inches-by-three-inches and about one-half inch thick, baked veryhard. They were commonlycalled “sheetiron crackers” or
“tooth dullers.” In keeping with this theme,
a Clermont County soldierwrote about a creative use forthe crackers. He and a buddywere assigned to guard duty atCamp Dennison. Before goingto their post, he saw his friendslipping a couple of crackersinto his shirt pocket. He askedhim what he was doing. Hisfriend replied, “I heard therewere some rebel bushwhack-ers about, and I wanted to pro-tect myself if they shot at me.”
Hardtack could be nibbledalong the march. If they wereable to take a lunch break, asoldier could soak the bisquitin water or coffee, fry it in hoglard; maybe seasoning it withwild onions and a pinch of salt.This delight was called “skilly
galee.” Sometimes the hardtack
became wet in transit. Whenthat happened, the bread liter-ally crawled with hatched outboll weevil worms. Veterans,accustomed to these “wormcastles,” simply picked off theworms or dumped the crackerin their coffee and scooped theworms out.
Coffee was known as the“elixir of life.” This was basic,no frills coffee. On the marchsoldiers were given a handfulof coffee beans that wereground with a rifle butt andbrewed in a tin cup. Most tookit black and “strong enough tofloat an iron wedge.” Yanksusually had an ample supply.But their counter parts oftenhad to make do with disagree-
able substitutes made fromchicory or corn.
The most popular food onboth sides of the war was thegreat northern bean. So lovedwas the bean that a song wassung to the tune of “The SweetBye and Bye:” There’s a spotthat the soldiers all love, Themess-tent is the place that wemean. And the dish we like tosee there Is the old-fashioned,white Army bean.
Chorus“Tis the bean that we mean,“And we’d eat as we ne’er
ate before,“The Army bean, nice and
clean,“We will stick to our bean
evermore.”One recipe blended the
beans with brown sugar, mo-
lasses, salt, and onions. All wasput into an iron pot. A hole wasdug into the ground and the potput in. Hot embers werebanked around the pot. Thehole was filled in, leaving anoxygen hole. The beans cookedall day.
During the Battle of Shiloh,hungry Confederates pausedduring the attack to look forYankee bean pots. This gavethe Northerners enough timeto steady their lines and even-tually win the battle.
Upon such things are warswon or lost.

May 6 questionHow do you think the Supreme
Court will rule on the issue ofsame-sex marriage? How shouldthey rule?
“Against.”Mary Ann Maloney
“I hope they rule in favor ofit. It really is the final move-ment towards civil rights for all.With the court split in terms ofright and left it will come downbasically to Justice Kennedy’svote and hopefully he will choseto be on the right side of history.
“People can use the Biblicalpassages as their defense forheterosexual union, however inone of the oft-cited passages,one should not not work on Sun-days, wear clothes of mixedthread or eat shell fish. Fromthat stand point Red Lobstersshould be picketed daily. ...
“Gay marriage will in no waydiminish heterosexual mar-riage. I don’t understand that ar-gument. I feel that religious in-stitutions can still come outagainst it, but to do so will onlypoint out how bigoted the insti-tutions are.
“In terms of religion, I looktoward the new covenant teach-ings of Christ and he had noth-ing to say on gay marriage. Hedid have something to say aboutthe difficulty of the rich gettinginto heaven comparing it to be-ing more difficult than a camelpassing through the eye of aneedle. I don’t see people pick-eting mansions or standing nextto luxury autos over in Ken-wood telling people to repent orthey won’t get into heaven.
“It is time to gay marriage isaccepted and religious institu-tions either accept it also or ad-mit that they are selective interms of what they choose tocriticize or focus on Biblicly.”
C.S.
“I believe they will ruleagainst it, as they should in re-spect for the thousands of yearsof societal norms, rather thantrying to prove they have a ‘bet-ter idea.’ The legal ramifica-tions of allowing this new legalstatus opens too many possibil-ities for long established tabooson animal affection, pedophilia,close relative unions and the ob-vious concerns over wide-spread abuse of the tax systemand destruction of health caresystems.”
D.B.
“I believe the Supreme Courtwill recognize marriage as the
union of two people who love,honor, support and respect eachother. Such faithful partner-ships benefit all cultures and so-cieties contributing to harmonyand world peace.”
Marie Hill
“I feel that the SupremeCourt will approve same sexmarriage. Why?, because it isgoing to be pushed and pusheddown our throats until we haveevery state accepting it. Thatdoes not make it right. And I amtotally against it b/c one of thereasons man and woman getmarried is to have a familyeventually. Children need amom who is female and a dadwho is male, period. Not twomen who say they are mom anddad or two women who say theyare mom and dad.
“And I do not think that peo-ple are born gay. It is a choicethey make. The same holds truewith transgenders. Why can’twe be happy with the genderthat our Lord made us to be.Kids are being subjected to thiskind of thinking that there issomething wrong with them sothey want to be gay or transgen-der. Heaven help us and I feel sosorry for my grandchildren intheir future to live in a culturewhere anything goes with no re-strictions or laws. ...”
D.M.H.
“In 2013 the U.S. SupremeCourt ruled that married same-sex couples were entitled to fed-eral benefits and, by decliningto decide a case from Califor-nia, effectively allowed same-sex marriages there. I suspectthey will again rule ‘in favor’ ofsame sex marriage across all 50states.
“The United States wasfounded on the separation ofchurch and state. While theremay be religious teachingsagainst this practice the courtwill look at the U.S. Constitutionnot the Bible. Go Figure!”

Swipe at Hoosiers unfair How can you publish this article? We have
free speech, yes, but this is a swipe at the stateof Indiana that merits a response. I was bornand raised in Indiana and until July of this year,half my life was in the Hoosier State. The otherhalf is in the Buckeye State.
I have read Mr. Baker over the past year, andmuch of what he writes reeks of elitism. He hasa bad experience in the state of Indiana. Thatmakes Indiana and by implication, the Hoosierresidents, racists.
I would like to remind Mr. Baker that theKKK was and is in most states, less so now.Thank goodness. The KKK was rooted (hiswords) by Southern Democrats following theCivil War. It spread to many states, Ohio, Ken-tucky, and Indiana included. Funny how the Re-publican party started with abolitionists, main-ly from the old Whig party and disgruntledDemocrats uncomfortable with the institutionof slavery. It became the party of civil rights. Go
to the history books. Look it up. Republicans voted 100 percent for the first
civil rights amendments and got perhaps 30 per-cent - 33 percent of Democratic votes for theamendments. Luckily they passed. Does thanmake the history of the Democratic party deep-ly rooted with the KKK? Sure it does. Today, theDemocratic party is considered the party forAfrican Americans. Is it? It is deeply rooted inthe KKK.
I also did some searches for slave holders inthe south specifically looking for the name ofBaker. Yes, there were slave holders with thename of Baker. I suppose there is slavery, i.e.discrimination, deeply rooted with in the nameBaker.
Mr. Baker, people change. Times change.People forgive and move on. Maybe it is time toforgive the Hoosier state. I forgive the Bakersfor holding slaves.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Spring sports are starting!Baseball, soccer, track…eve-ryone is outside again andhaving fun in warmer weath-
er. As sportsget going inthe spring, Ialways see anincrease ininjuries andpain.
As directorof sportsmedicine atCincinnatiChildren’s, Isee manyyoung ath-
letes in clinic who have newback pain related to theirsport. Up to 30 percent ofathletes will have back pain atsome point while playingsports. It is one of the mostcommon things we see insports medicine clinics and onthe sideline.
Most back pain is not seri-ous and goes away with littletreatment. Gently stretchingand strengthening the lowerback and abdominal muscles,as well as avoiding activitiesthat are really painful for theback is usually all it takes.
But, when the pain is se-vere, limits what the athletecan do, or persists for morethan a few weeks, a doctorwith specialized training inback injuries should evaluatethe athlete to determine thecause of the pain and treat itaccordingly.
Lower back pain
The lower back, or lumbarspine, is the most commonarea of back pain in athletes.Pain usually occurs frombone, muscle or disc prob-lems. The most commoncause of lower back pain inyoung athletes is a stressfracture-a bone injury. Thesecond most common cause isa muscle strain of the lowerback.
» The lower back is a mainpower generator in manysports and can be over-stressed if strength, coor-dination, or overuse is a prob-lem, resulting in the gradualonset of back pain.
» Injuries to the lowerback in a sports practice orevent occur with trauma,either by a fall or too muchforce placed on the low back.This results in the suddenonset of back pain that oftenprevents the athlete fromcompleting the sports event.
» Athletes in certain sportsare at higher risk for backinjuries. Examples are foot-ball, gymnastics, and dance.The mechanical demands ofthese sports make the lowback vulnerable to overuse orquick onset of back pain.
The cause of back pain inchildren and adolescents isoften very different in adults.Adults deal with more discpain, which is not a commonproblem for children andadolescents. At Cincinnati
Children’s Hospital MedicalCenter Sports Medicine, weunderstand this and assessthe whole patient while form-ing a diagnosis and treatmentplan.
Treatment and recoveryTreatment of a lower back
stress fracture involves 2-3months of allowing the bone(s) to heal, just like any otherbroken bone. Various types ofimaging are sometimes doneto help guide treatmentcourse.
Muscle injuries in the low-er back are most often treat-ed with stretches, progressivestrengthening exercises, andcomfort measures (examples:anti-inflammatory drugs for ashort period of time, ice,heat). Athletic trainers orphysical therapists trained inback injuries are helpful withthis rehab.
All lower back injuriesrequire some rest to aid thehealing process. We under-stand that this time of restingfrom painful activities can befrustrating for the athlete,and we work with the athleteto make sure the back healsproperly, allowing the athleteto return to regular sportsactivity as soon and success-fully as possible.

The always talkative Nate Slagel jokes with his Northwest opponent April23 at the Anderson Invitational.
LOVELAND — The Universityof Findlay Oilers may havestruck black (and orange) goldwith their signing of LovelandHigh School running back NateSlagel recently.
While bigger schools mayhave had reservations aboutrecruiting someone who has in-jured both knees, Findlay willbe getting an athlete who hasconsistently exercised extrememental toughness. The past twofootball seasons for Slagel end-ed with anterior cruciate liga-ment tears.
Less than seven months afterhis senior football campaignended Sept. 18 against GlenEste, Slagel has returned to rep-resent Loveland in spring track.At a solid 215 pounds, he couldbe the most intimidating sprint-er in the city.
“The wheels are feelinggood,” Slagel said. “They feelreally better than ever. I’mstarting to get back into racingshape like I was sophomoreyear. I’m starting to feel just asgood.”
In 2013, Slagel was second inthe Eastern Cincinnati Confer-ence in the 100 meters at 10.9and tops in the long jump at 22’1.75”. He also anchored Love-land’s 4x100 relay.
The previous fall, Slagelstarted on Loveland’s defensiveline and had four quarterbacksacks, two forced fumbles andone fumble recovery. WhenFred Cranford took over as foot-ball coach over the summer of2013, the powerful speedsterwas switched to running back.
As previously documented,the junior ran for 1,340 yards, 18touchdowns and went morethan 200 yards three times.Then, in the middle of his eighthgame came the first knee inju-ry.
Despite his absence, the Ti-gers won a Division II champi-
onship. Recognizing his amaz-ing numbers in just 7.5 games,Slagel was named ECC and Di-vision II State Offensive Playerof the Year.
As he rehabbed the firsttime, he skipped the 2014 trackseason. Last fall, he returned tothe Tiger football backfield andracked up 331 yards in 3.5games. In game four againstGlen Este, he had tallied 71yards and scored twice.
However, there was a famil-iar twinge on his second touch-down and No. 47 came out of thegame. By halftime, he was oncrutches on the sideline eating aslice of pizza. Same injury, dif-ferent knee.
He was seen in the weightroom the next day.
Though he could be mistakenfor someone looking for the shotput pit, the Loveland senior isback in the blocks in the 100, de-fying the odds again.
“It’s not like an impossiblething to overcome,” Slagel said.“It’s actually helped me respectevery second I have compet-ing.”
As a precaution, he is bypass-ing the long jump this spring. Inthe 100, has run 11.14 thus far,good enough for third in theECC.
Fitting as the son of a Marine,Slagel has cleared all hurdles,obstacles and challengesthrown his way. At one time, hislist of suitors included OhioState, Illinois, Nebraska, MiamiUniversity and Indiana.
Minus the injuries, Nate Sla-gel might have been playing onTV in Division I.
“There was a possibility atsome point,” Slagel said. “I’mnot really looking back on it.There’s no reason to. I just wantto do the best I can at Findlay.”

KENWOOD — At manyschools, returning 12 playerswho played with regularity on aDivision I state semifinalistwould mean added pressure.
For Moeller High School’sbaseball program, it’s just an-other day at the office.
Ranked preseason No. 11 na-tionally by Baseball Americathe Crusaders have not disap-pointed and are on pace to bet-ter last year’s mark of 24-5.They recently won the GreaterCatholic League-South.
The Crusaders have had theluxury of not missing manygames. In early April when rainspoiled the party for many Tris-tate teams, Moeller was at thePerfect Game complex in Geor-gia playing four games in fivedays.
“This is the seventh yearwe’ve traveled (over springbreak) and it’s always been goodfor us,” Moeller coach Tim Heldsaid. “The kids seem to gel bet-ter after being trapped on thebus eight or 10 hours.”
In terms of talent, it is a blueand gold mine off MontgomeryRoad. The Crusaders currentlyhave 13 players committed tocolleges, with 10 going DivisionI. Josh Hollander, Bryan Sothand Joe Vranesic are going toKent State, Grant Macchiochi toMissouri, Bailey Montoya toDayton, Kyle Dockus to Wright
State, Jordan Ramey to Cincin-nati, Zach Hoffman to MiamiUniversity, Mitch Bault to OhioDominican, Eric Conner toWalsh and Adam Wilson to OhioNorthern. Junior pitchers NickBennett and Cameron Junkerare committed to Louisville andNotre Dame, respectively.
Held has made the statesemifinals in six of seven yearsand has toted home the statechampionship trophy in 2009,2012 and 2013. When you can re-load with a battle-tested roster,success is an expectation.
“I thought we’d be good withNick Bennett on the mound andGrant Macciocchi,” Held said.“With the schedule we play, theguys that aren’t the top twostarters have to be pretty goodthemselves. The pitching we’vebeen getting has been verygood.”
Adding to the consistency ofBennett and Macciocchi on thebump has been senior MitchBault and juniors Chris Stockand Cameron Junker.
At the plate, Josh Hollander,Bailey Montoya, Bryan Soth,Kyle Butz, Kyle Dockus and JoeVranesic were all .300-plus hit-ters as juniors and have con-tinued to achieve. Soth just suf-fered a season-ending knee in-jury and Vranesic is coming offof a shoulder issue, but hopingto reach a tournament groove.
Dockus has led the team inhitting and steals and has an on-base percentage of more than
.500.“We put him in left field last
year and he gave us great at-bats every time,” Held said.“That’s continued with an extrayear of growth..”
The reality at Moeller is
there are 25 players on the ros-ter. The roster could be split inhalf and both teams would becontenders.
“They chose to come toMoeller High School and theymight have to wait ‘til the end of
their junior year or their seasonyear to contribute on varsity,”Held said.
The six-time Greater Catho-lic League Coach of the Yearsaid most parents understandthe process and it brings aboutspirited workouts and non-con-ference games for players.
“They’re working their buttsoff trying to have great at-batsfor us,” Held says said of hissquad. “Competition is whatfeeds it here.”
