Goldfelder has been in the fire service since he was in high school and has become an expert of firefighter safety. On court two at The T Squash Academy in Fairfax, the only professional female squash player in the Midwest played against one of the best male squash players in the area. On court three, two grade school boys and a high school fresh- man played. “The idea started as a con- cept really very similar to the first people who brought la- crosse to Cincinnati. There are people who know the sport in other cities and know it is a great sport, but it has never been broadly developed in Cin- cinnati. So, somebody eventual- ly has to say, ‘hey we need to change that,’” said Neal Tew of Loveland, the founder and exec- utive director of the nonprofit academy. Tew, a life-long squash play- er who played collegiately at Harvard University, decided he would change it in 2009. He started looking for a way to make squash more accessible. At the time were was only one small program in the area. His son, J.P., who was 6 at the time, also started showing interest in squash. “So, I sort of tried to build a program that would create a place for him and many kids like him to play,” Tew said. The T Squash Academy, which opened in January 2013, has found success partnering with the Cincinnati Sports Club down the street and now teach- es about 70 area kids how to play squash. Kids can either join the recreational league and play against other kids at the acad- emy or join the tournament team and compete against other teams regionally and nationally. “The highlight of the region- al tournament schedule is the Midwest Championship that is held every year in February,” Tew said. Tew’s academy was chosen to host the 2016 Midwest Cham- pionship - the first time will be in the Cincinnati area. Tew said players from the competitive T Spartans will be playing in the tournament, including J.P., who was the 2014 U11 champion. Tew said he and squash di- rector Laura Caty, a profession- al squash player who played col- legiately at Cornell University, both value the educational side of squash just as much as the competitive side. “We love the game because of the interface between athlet- ics and education. We both have great experiences athletically and educationally through the sport. And we really love to give that back to kids,” he said. He said squash is a great sport for scholar athletes, which is why the area just be- yond the lobby is designed to be a study hall for the academy’s kids and their siblings. Tew and Caty also decided to include that school work comes first in the teams’ code of conduct. The academy also holds two to three Squash and Symphony events a year, where kids who play an in- strument have a recital. “We encourage the artistic pursuit because we feel it is a really good thing but also builds good character. Our whole pro- gram is building character in the kids,” Tew said. Want to know about what Loveland residents are doing?

Squash is played in a four-walled court by two players with racquets and a small, hollow rubber ball. The players alternate hitting the ball against the front wall. They can use the other three walls of the court so long as the ball reaches the front wall at some point. Once it hits the front wall, the opposing player must return the ball before it bounces twice. Points are scored when one player cannot retrieve the ball before it bounces twice or when a ball is struck out of bounds. The first player to reach 11 points wins a game; a match consists of three out of five games.

Loveland city councilapproved more changesto the city’s finance de-partment.
Council passed an ordi-nance on emergency tocreate a customer servicespecialist position andeliminate the financeclerk and financial ana-lyst position. The ordi-nance received the sixvotes it needed to pass onemergency and will gointo effect in 90 days with-
out another reading ofcouncil. Councilman RobWeisgerber was not at themeeting.
The new position willnot change the number ofemployees in the financedepartment, assistantCity Manager/Finance Di-rector Corey Schmidtsaid.
“They can help withthe back end work, dataentry and research in be-tween customers. Thisjust shifts the dutiesaround and puts the dutiesback in line with the clas-
sifications,” Schmidt said.The change in posi-
tions is the latest in astring of changes to the fi-nance department sinceformer Finance DirectorTom Vanderhorst left inAugust. The city com-bined the finance directorposition with assistantcity manager position,which Schmidt holds.
Council also honoredthe retirement of assis-tant Finance Director My-ra Kroeger at its May 26meeting. Kroger held theinterim finance director
position until it was com-bined. She also served asthe interim finance direc-tor in 2011 and 2012. Herlast day was June 1.
Schmidt said the extrafunds from eliminatingthe two positions will go tothe general fund to makeup for deficits.
Councilwoman PamGross said she wanted thefunds to be used for hiringan economic developmentdirector. She introduced amotion at the May 12meeting for the city tohire one.
Vice Mayor Mark Fitz-gerald said with the elim-ination of the two posi-tions, the contract withformer interim City Man-ager and consultant Da-vid Duckworth endingand the elimination of thepart-time human re-source manager positionand those duties beingtransferred to Schmidt, itwould make sense for thecity to spend money on anew position.
“I just am troubled bythe fact that we are tryingto rebuild the general
fund on the investmentside of the equation, butwe are not doing the sameon the expenditure side. Iwould like to see the samething on the investmentand outreach side with aneconomic developmentdirector,” Fitzgerald said.

When it comes to com-munity building opportu-nities, Symmes TownshipTrustee Jodie Leis is all in.
“Community is themost important thing tome and my family,” shesaid. Fitness is also impor-tant and has long been apart of Leis’s life. As atrustee, Leis is alwayslooking for ways to buildcommunity and providefitness opportunities.
Three recently intro-duced township programs
do just this.One is a new, free yoga
class being offered allsummer long, 9 a.m. to 10a.m. every Saturday atHopewell Meadows Park.A certified yoga fit in-structor will conduct theclass.
A new walking groupstarted at Symmes Park.At 6:30 p.m. everyWednesday during thesummer, Walk & Be Fitwill be led by certifiedtrainer Beth Provins fromthe Academy of SportsPerformance.
The programs provide
a nice way for residents toget out, meet people andexercise. People are morelikely to get into a fitnessroutine if they have agroup to exercise with,Leis said.
The third new programis Yappy Hour. As the titlesuggests, this is a socialprogram for dogs andtheir humans. This pro-gram starts June 8 andwill be offered at 6:30 p.m.the second Monday of ev-ery month at SymmesPark Bark Park.
“I love dogs,” Leis said.“I have a giant schnauzerand a shepherd mix Ifound.”
She takes her canine
friends to different dogparks. One of her favor-ites is Voice of AmericaPark where there are al-ways lots of dogs.
“Our park isn’t used asmuch,” she said. This issomething she would liketo change. Residentsmight not be as aware ofthe township’s dog park,she said. Yappy Hournight increase awarenessof the township’s dogpark.
She’s also hopeful thatthe township might add adog park to HopewellPark. The trustees areseeking feedback on theidea.
All three programs are
ing treats for Yappy Hour.Provins is providing herservices for the walkingclub.

Pat Donaldson,resident since 2009
When we were growing up (back in thedark ages as my kids say) we didn’t celebrateFather’s day with the hoopla like we do today,
but Mom did fix a special din-ner for our Dad.
He enjoyed his day by plant-ing zinnias and marigolds inthe tiny patch of earth on theleft side of the front steps ofour home.
Each year I plant zinniasand marigolds in the Biblesection of my herb garden nearthe Mary statute to honor myDad.
Now my husband, Frank, ismaking it easy for me on Dad’s day. He re-quested this moist almond pound cake alongwith one more thing: “Peace and quiet.”
The pound cake is a given, the peace and
quiet is debatable. And for all of our Dads inour community newspaper family, I hope youhave the best Father’s Day ever, filled withfamily, friends, and food.
Can you help?Recipe, menu needed from tearooms of

Savor Dad’s day with special recipesFrangipane/almond pound cake
A good keeper, covered, at room temperature. It sounds fancy - frangi-pane just means there’s almond in the cake.
1 cup butter, softened1 cup sugar3 eggs1 can, 12-1/2 oz., Solo almond filling (not almond paste)2 -1⁄4 cups all purpose flour2 teaspoons baking powder1⁄2 teaspoon salt1⁄4 cup milk
GlazeWhisk together:
1-1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar1⁄2 teaspoon almond extract or 2 teaspoons vanilla3-4 tablespoons milk
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour 10-inch tube pan or 12-cup Bundtpan. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beat-ing well after each. Mix in almond filling until blended. Whisk flour, bakingpowder, and salt together. Add to almond mixture alternately with milk,beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix until blended. Pour into pan.Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely onrack. Drizzle glaze on top.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen:It’s important to grease and flour the pan to prevent sticking. After you
grease the pan, toss in enough flour to coat bottom and sides. Shake excessout. Or use a baking spray containing flour.
Versatile spicy chimichurri sauce
A reader wanted a spicy chimichurri to serve on top of steaks for Father’sday. Rick Bayless and I did a class together and he made this chimichurri. Heused it as a marinade and sauce for shrimp. It was so good and versatile, too.Nice on chicken, fish and, you bet - steak! I’ve adapted it only slightly.
1/2 head garlic, cloves separated3 Jalapeno or Serano chilies1 bunch cilantro, tough lower stems removed1 bunch parsley, tough lower stems removed1/2 cup extra virgin olive oilSalt to taste3 tablespoons water or bit more if needed
Set a dry skillet over medium heat. Lay unpeeled garlic cloves and chiliesin pan. Roast, turning frequently, for about 10 minutes for chilies and 15 min-utes for garlic, or until soft and blotchy brown in spots. Let cool and slip skinsoff the garlic. Wearing gloves, pull stems off chilies and roughly chop (no needto remove seeds). Place in a food processor along with cilantro, parsley, oliveoil, and salt. Process until nearly smooth (it will be pasty). Stir in water. Tasteand adjust seasonings.

A publication of
In the May 27 edition of theCommunity Journal, a guestcolumnist pointed out my
strong com-mitment tobeing pro-lifeand a staunchsupporter ofSecondAmendmentrights. Bothare humanrights issues.
Every hu-man being hasa fundamentalright to life.
Every human being has a fun-damental right to self-defense.The Founding Fathers of ournation referred to these, andothers, as God-given and in-alienable rights.
He also seemed concernedthat I was only focused onthose human rights issues.
Primarily, I’m focused on slow-ing the growth of spending andreducing the rate of taxation.For example, I submitted abudget amendment to elim-inate the commercial activitiestax. No other tax increases orspending cuts were included. Itwas formulated by simplyslowing the growth rate instate spending.
When John Kasich was amember of Congress, he cre-ated the Kasich Budget. Thatstory inspired me. I thoughtthat I might someday createthe Becker Budget. That some-day is now. Gov. Kasich hasasked for alternatives. I’mproviding one.
I’m crafting legislation toslow the spending growth ofboth state and federal dollars.In summary, the major provi-sions of the Becker Budgetinclude:
» Slow (state only) spendinggrowth by $1.3 billion.
» Phase out (eliminate) in-come tax over five years.
» Slow all funds growth by$6.2 billion.
» Eliminate ObamacareMedicaid expansion.
» Defund Planned Parent-hood.
» Eliminate the Ohio mar-riage penalty.
» Expand indigent tort re-form.
» Prohibit double dipping(grandfather in current doubledippers).
In contrast, the budget billpassed by the Ohio House (HB64) includes Obamacare Medi-caid expansion and continuedfunding for Planned Parent-hood. It increases state spend-ing by 9.6 percent in 2016 com-pared to my 5.5 percent. TheHouse passed bill tacks on an
additional 3.9 percent in 2017compared to my 1.9 percent. Ivoted no.
The governor and generalassembly want to continuespending state dollars at triplethe inflation rate. When factor-ing in federal dollars, spendingis nearly quintuple the infla-tion rate. The people of Cler-mont County did not send meto Columbus to spend theirmoney faster than they canearn it.
The author also commentedthat the Ohio legislature shouldraise taxes to help the poor getout of poverty. There are manyneeds in the community. Addi-tional funding can sometimeshelp, but not always. Regard-less, I’m troubled by the con-cept of being generous withother people’s money. I’d muchrather see the religious, civic,and business community work
together to identify and solvecommunity problems. Theycan do it much more efficient-ly and effectively than govern-ment.
All too often, government isbetter at creating problemsrather than solving them. Thebigger the government, thebigger the problems created.

Reining in budget a top priority
Rep. JohnBeckerCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST
June 3 questionThe Ohio legislature is consid-
ering moving the state’s 2016 pri-mary back a week so that thestate has “more influence” inpresidential nominations. Is this agood idea? Why or why not?
“Move the 2016 primary backone week to enable ‘more influ-ence?’ In two words: who cares?National elections are won orlost in the press, on TV and onthe Internet. It simply does notmatter which state has the firstprimary or the largest primaryor the most contested primary.The only things that matter arewhich candidate has the mostmoney in his or her coffers andhow video friendly are theirface and their ability to read aspeech off of the teleprompter.Nail down the money and read aspeech like a well oiled actorand even a minimally effectivecommunity organizer can be-come president of the UnitedStates. Scary and sad, but true.”
M.J.F.
“I’m not enough of a ‘market-er’ to really understand thismove. Since all of the partiesare primarily more worriedabout ‘press impact,’ a sad note,to me, I’ll leave the wisdom of
the move to the ‘political ex-perts’ who rely on the latestpolls rather than worryingabout whether the voters under-stand issues. It seems a little ar-rogant, but perceptive, thatmost eligible voters won’t lookat issues or problems, only thepress release.”
D.B.
“I would love it if all state pri-maries were done at the sameexact time. This would also helpcut down on the political com-mercials or at least their timeframe duration. Thank good-ness for DVRs and cable sta-tions. For extra credit only al-low absentee mail in ballots tocut expenses. Go Figure!”

of the most common but pre-ventable health issues facingus today. WeThrive engagescommunity leadership throughfour distinct pathways: chronicdisease, environmental health,community health, and emer-gency preparedness.
Participating communitiesadopt resolutions, organizeteams, select a pathway andthen get to work improvingtheir health and preparedness.Each community team worksat its own pace and implementsthe changes necessary toachieve healthier goals, whileHamilton County PublicHealth staff provides commu-nity-level health data, lendsexperience and helps guide theprocess.
Since we launched theWeThrive initiative in 2008, wehave seen substantial changein some of the participatingcommunities. Parks and areasfor physical play and recrea-tion have been developed.
As health commissioner, Icould write columns, sendflyers, or talk to you throughthe media, continually telling
you that we eatand smoke toomuch anddon’t getenough exer-cise.
I couldshare studiesand data il-lustrating theills awaiting usas a result ofour less-than-
healthy lifestyles. Or, I couldengage you and your communi-ties to make substantive, long-lasting policy and infrastruc-ture changes to encouragehealthy practices. Which tacticdo you think would be mostsuccessful?
Hopefully, you will agreethat the latter approach is mosteffective. If so, you and yourcommunity are prime candi-
dates to join the WeThrivemovement, making healthypractices part of your commu-nity vernacular.
WeThrive is a county-widemovement of community part-ners, schools, businesses,places of worship, electedofficials and residents workingtogether to make healthy livingeasier and healthy practicespart of your daily routine. Themovement focuses on increas-ing access to healthy eatingand physical activity, whiledecreasing tobacco use andexposure to secondhandsmoke. WeThrive is aboutmaking lasting changes thatkeep communities healthy forgenerations.
We are working to changethe paradigms inherent indelivering healthy messagingand programming to HamiltonCounty. Rather than talk aboutchange, our team jumps direct-ly in with community teamsdedicated to addressing some
Gardens have sprung up inseveral communities aroundthe County. Schools and child-care facilities have adoptedhealthy eating and smoke-freepolicies. School districts havecarved out safe ways for chil-dren to get some exercisewhile walking to school. Andperhaps most important, peo-ple are incorporating healthypractices into everyday living.
There are 19 HamiltonCounty communities partici-pating in the WeThrive initia-tive. That is approximatelyhalf of the communities servedby Hamilton County PublicHealth. Imagine the healthbenefits we could affect to-gether if our communitieslined up behind one or more ofthe pathways to health identi-fied by WeThrive.
Imagine the county-widereduction in obesity and sub-sequently the preventablediseases associated with obesi-ty, if we could implement
healthy eating and exerciseprograms in the communitieswith the most to gain. Thinkabout the health improvementfor our younger generation asthey grow up with healthyeating, exercise and tobaccoreduction as part of their ev-eryday routines. This year, forthe first time, we can workwith communities to developand implement emergencypreparedness programs toround out a community’s pub-lic health offerings.
Will you consider joining usas we work to make healthychoices easier choices? GiveRebecca Stowe a call at 513-946-7845 and she will be happyto work with you to assemble ateam to start thriving in yourcommunity.

We’ve been exposed to iton television shows andthrough other media chan-
nels. Wewatch andcan’t believethat anyonecan live in theconditionswhere homesare filled tocapacity;front porch-es, garages,basements,closets, all
stacked and filled to the top,often leaving only narrowpathways winding throughstacks of “stuff.”
The person who hoardsgoes far beyond those per-sons we once described as“pack rats.”
What some of the aware-ness on television has done isalert us to a better under-standing of the complexity ofthe issue and its link to men-tal illness. A recent studyfound that, although the firstsigns of hoarding behaviorare most common in adoles-cence, the severity increaseswith each decade of life and ismore prevalent among olderadults. As our aging pop-
ulation rapidly increases, sowill the number of olderadults for whom hoarding is away of life.
Experts in this area agreethat hoarding becomes a “dis-order” when there is an in-ordinate level of acquisitionof and failure to discard alarge number of possessions;the living space is so clut-tered that is no longer usablefor its intended purpose, andwhen there is a functionalstatus consequence, such as aperson being unable to walkthrough a room, bathe, cookor sleep under normal cir-cumstances.
Some evidence suggeststhat some with a hoardingdisorder simply have difficul-ty making decisions, planningand following through withplans. For these individuals,behavioral therapy can bebeneficial. Another group isbelieved to suffer from Diog-enes Syndrome, a disorderoften characterized by ex-treme self-neglect, domesticsqualor, social withdrawal,apathy and compulsive hoard-ing of garbage, as well asbeing associated with obses-sive compulsive disorder(OCD), schizophrenia, de-
mentia and mood disorders.Social dysfunction can also
include the hoarder neverallowing anyone to enter his/her home and adult childrenwho do not know how to han-dle the situation, feeling thefamily member is on a down-ward spiral and out of control.Family members may feelashamed, overwhelmed andeven disgusted.
Clermont Senior Serviceswill host Hoarding Disordersfrom 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thurs-day, June 11, in the ElderlyWorkshop at the Union Town-ship Lifelong Learning Cen-ter, located at the UnionTownship Civic Center. Cari-lyn L.

COLUMBUS — Entering theDivision I state championshipgame against Upper Arlington,St. Xavier had outscored its op-ponents by a combined 68-11.
After the win against Moell-er in the regional final, seniorattacker Jack Perez said theBombers like to start fast andpreach that the game is decidedin the first five minutes.
Fortunately for the Bomb-ers, that wasn’t the case as Up-per Arlington scored the firstthree goals of the game. Howev-er, St. X fought its way back tosupplant the defending statechampion 7-6.
Perez scored the game-win-ning goal and goalkeeper AlexDeters recorded the final saveto clinch the victory.
“I’m just so proud of theboys,” St. Xavier coach NateSprong said. “They’ve workedso hard for this, it wasn’t pretty,but they overcame it with sheergrit in the second half.”

LOVELAND — Though just4-7 at one point in late April,the Loveland High School boyslacrosse team rebounded towin six of their last nine gamesto finish the season .500 at 10-10.
That stretch included a pairof tournament wins againstSpringboro and Elder before aregional final loss to No. 6(www.laxpower.com) St. Xavi-er on May 27, 16-2.
The Tigers defeated Eldertwice during the season (9-8March 23 and 9-3 in the region-al semis May 23) and had athrilling opening tournamentwin against Springboro. Love-land and the Panthers wentthree overtimes before fresh-man Adam Clark found thegoal on May 21.
Loveland had several earlyleads in the tournament open-er, but needed the trio of extraperiods to pull it out.
“It was a very strange flowto the game,” coach Mike Pritzsaid of the Springboro contest.“We had to face a lot of adversi-ty playing different guys wenormally don’t play.”
Several times during theseason, Pritz has had to rely onyounger Tigers like Clark.
“It’s been trial by fire,” hesaid. “They’re not freshmenanymore. We have a lot of guysthat are growing up and wehope they’re ready for us.”
Loveland’s captains thisseasons were senior “longpoles” Brian Maher and Mitch-ell Kenter. Senior Drew Mc-Donald has been the “go-to”guy on attack.
The Tigers schedule thisseason included a pair ofgames against St. Louis Uni-versity Jesuit and MICDS outof Missouri and Columbus St.Charles. Locally, they faceddefending Division II champi-on Mariemont, Sycamore, Sev-en Hills, St. Xavier (twice) andMoeller.
Junior mid Sam Waltherwill be relied upon for scoring
next season. After coming offof an injury, Walther racked upthree goals in the Springborogame.
“He made second-team All-Region despite not playing afull season,” Pritz said. “Thatwas very impressive.”
Goalie Marshall Amon
made first-team All-Regionfor Loveland and senior cap-tain Kenter also made secondteam. Sophomore defenderDrew Grafflin made honor-able mention.
Outside of Kenter graduat-ing, the rest of that group re-turns along with Michael New-
bold at midfield.“He’s been our most im-
proved player over the year,”Pritz said.
Though Loveland’s attackwas senior-laden, much of thefield was covered by Tigerswho will return hungry for an-other postseason run nextspring.
“We’re very, very young,”Pritz said. “We’re very opti-mistic. Our JV team finishedtheir season as No. 2 in the cityin the JV tournament, losing todefending champion Marie-mont. We’re very excited whatthe future has for us. We alsoplayed a lot of freshman onvarsity. The future’s verybright for Loveland.”
Overall, Loveland finishedranked No. 37 by laxpower-.com out of 108 Ohio schools.

COLUMBUS — Forty-three years after winningtheir first state champion-ship under Mike Camer-on, Moeller High Schoolbrought home anotherbaseball trophy to Mont-gomery Road Saturday.
The Crusadersbombed the WestervilleCentral Warhawks for 15runs in the fourth andfifth innings combined towalk out of HuntingtonPark with the hardware,16-0.
For coach Tim Held, itwas his fourth champion-ship, tying his predeces-sor and former boss, Cam-eron. The Crusaders alsowon in 2009, 2012 and 2013under Held.
The 42-year-old Heldwas born six months afterMike Cameron firstbrought Moeller to gloryin 1972.
“I may have caughthim as the head coach, buthe’s still been a part of allof these,” Held said. “He’sgot his fingers on all eightof these. He’s a great men-tor to me. I’m so happy hestill wants to coach andhelp us out at the lowerlevels.”
The Crusaders drewfirst blood on WestervilleCentral’s Nick Buchananin the third when JoshHollander knocked a two-out single and pitcher
Grant Macciocchipunched one into rightfield that Drew Wallacedove for and missed. Theresult was a triple and a1-0 lead.
Macciocchi went thefive required innings onthe hill for the win, allow-ing just three hits andstriking out four. At theplate, he helped himselfby going 3-for-4 with a tri-ple and four RBI.
“It’s great; it’s my lastday ever hitting,” a smil-ing Missouri-bound Mac-ciocchi said. “Nothingcompares (to this). Every-one was just feeling teamchemistry.”
The game began its
downward spiral for theWarhawks in the fourthframe when Moeller allbut summoned the portlywoman. The Crusaderssent 11to the plate with sixscoring.
By the fifth inning, itwas a full-scale alert asMoeller batted aroundagain, scoring nine runson six hits. In addition toMacciocchi’s farewellperformance, seniorsKyle Dockus, Josh Hol-lander and Eric Conner allhad three hits and drovein two runs. Hollanderand senior Mitch Meecescored three runs apiece.
For all of Moeller’s sen-iors, returning to Colum-
bus after a semifinal losslast year was a goal allspring
“You never predict afinish like this in a cham-pionship game,” Heldsaid. “It’s much easier onmy stomach. You don’tdream of this. You justplay one pitch at a time.All of a sudden, the of-fense came alive.”
To keep loose duringthe onslaught, Maccioc-chi and catcher Bailey
Montoya had to go to thebullpen to keep the bloodflowing.
Afterward, the Crusad-ers flowed freely out ofthe third-base dugout forthe obligatory dogpile andthrowing of gloves on thefield.
“I can’t really explainit,” Macciocchi said of thelopsided victory. “Mybrother (Brad) was a partof this in 2012. It feelsgreat to be back.”
Moeller finishes theseason 31-3 with a happy95-mile bus ride homedown I-71. WestervilleCentral wraps up at 26-6.

Golden Bears reclaimedthe lead with three goals.Green scored his secondof the game.
At the half, Upper Ar-lington led 6-3.
From there, it was allBombers as they scoredfour unanswered goals inthe second half, includingtwo more by Green. His fi-nal goal tied it.
“They were locking offon (William) Holcomb and(David) Leising,” saidGreen, the game’s mostvaluable player on of-fense. “I could take theshot all day or draw slidesand pass it. It was goodstuff.”
Matthew Donnelly alsoput one in the back of thenet and Perez scored theeventual game-winninggoal.
“On man-up rushes, wealways try to find a 3-on-2and I saw it on the left
wing,” Perez said. “I sawmy man had his headturned away from theball, so I went back-door,threw a fake and luckily itwent in.
“I had gotten stoned bythe goalie earlier. I need-ed that one.”
That goal came withabout four minutes left toplay. It was up to the de-fense to make it stand.
Upper Arlingtonplayed with more urgen-cy and the game got a lit-tle chippy. Eventually, the
Golden Bears wound upwith the final possession.
They maintained thatsame deliberate approachthat netted them six goalsbut the final shot woundup in Deters’ webbing.
“In the second half, weplayed 24 minutes of shut-out lacrosse,” said Deters,the game’s defensivemost valuable player. “Ifelt the weight of the ballin my stick, saw therewasn’t much time left andI high-tailed it out ofthere.”

COLUMBUS — The 2015Summit Country Daybaseball team will be re-membered for having ex-hibited so many exempla-ry traits this season.
No one can questionthe resilience of the SilverKnights. They entered thepostseason with a 14-12record and made a memo-rable trip to the state finalin Columbus.
The Silver Knightsscheduled seven DivisionI teams in the regular sea-son and gained valuableexperience along the way.
Summit Country Dayplayers believed they hadsomething to prove thispostseason and that deter-mination and effort wasevident each time the clubtook the field.
And Saturday nightwas no different. The Sil-ver Knights left it all onthe field at HuntingtonPark in the state champi-onship game.
Canton Central Catho-lic defeated SummitCountry Day 4-2 in the Di-vision III state final onSaturday night.
Although it wasn’t theresult coach Triffon Cal-los and his players wanted
on the high school sea-son’s final night, the im-pact this squad had on theprogram has been pro-found.
The Silver Knightsearned their first trip thestate final since 1995when the program wonthe Division IV state titlethat year.
Summit Country Day(19-13), unranked in thestate coaches’ poll, earnedits first trip to the statesemifinals since 1996. TheSilver Knights defeatedCincinnati Hills ChristianAcademy and Waynes-ville – two top-five stateranked teams in the re-
gional tournament.Even when the region-
al final and state semifi-nal came down to crucialsituations in the bottom ofthe seventh inning, theSilver Knights didn’tflinch.
“No one gave us achance at the beginning ofthe year,” sophomoreConnor McMurry saidFriday night. “And youknow what? We came intothis tournament knowingthat we had a lot of peopleto prove wrong and thatreally drove us. We have aton of heart as a team.”
