PRICE HILL – Every otherweek, a group of Seton HighSchool students leave theircampus and head over to HolyFamily and St. Lawrenceschools for an hour.

The Seton students are all en-rolled in either Spanish III orSpanish IV, and they spend oneof their class periods workingone-on-one with Spanish-speak-ing students at the neighbor-hood grade schools.

The high schoolers help theyoung students develop theskills needed to read in theirfirst language of Spanish, whileat the same time the youngSpanish-speaking students helpthe students from Seton en-hance their Spanish skills.

“It’s a great experience,” Se-ton senior Taylor Frommeyer, aSpanish IV student, said. “I’drecommend it to anyone.”

Seton Spanish teacher MaryBeth Corey said the learner/mentor partnership started lastyear with students in her Span-ish IV class and kindergartenand first-grade Spanish-speak-ing students at St. Lawrence.The program was expanded toinclude Holy Family School andstudents in Seton’s Spanish IIIclasses this year.

“I wanted to provide my stu-dents an opportunity to practicespeaking Spanish in an authen-tic situation while helping ourneighborhood school,” she said.

“It is a wonderful thing towatch a 5-year-old correct thepronunciation of a 17-year-oldSeton student, or watching afirst-grader realize that theycan read in Spanish.”

Corey said first language lit-eracy support is often consid-ered more effective than Eng-

lish literacy support becausethe learners develop literacywithout also having to worryabout learning a new language.

She said the Seton studentswork with the same Spanish-speaking student each visit, andspend the first half of the hourhelping the student with read-ing.

“These skills can be trans-ferred to English, since one onlyneeds to learn to read once,” shesaid.

“Seton students talk to theirSpanish-speaking buddy inSpanish, read stories in Spanishand work on activities that arewritten in Spanish.”

The second half of the hour isspent working on what theSpanish-speaking students aremissing while they are out ofthe classroom, Corey said.

“We listen to the studentsread, work on flashcards, class-work or homework or provideany one-on-one extra help theymay need,” she said.

Frommeyer said she workswith a boy in the second grade atHoly Family and she’s seenfirsthand how the program hasbenefited them both.

“It’s indescribable. You canliterally see him improving,he’s been able to read so muchbetter,” she said. “It’s a greatfeeling to know how much of animpact you can have on one per-son.”

Payton Stinson, a Seton ju-nior who is in Spanish III, saidthe kindergarten student sheworks with at St. LawrenceSchool has helped her improveher understanding of Spanish.

“Whenever I’m reading hima story and don’t understand orknow how to pronounce a word,he’ll anticipate which word Iwant to say and tell me how tosay it,” she said.

“I think it’s really helpful, notonly for me, but for the kids as

Christmas is a time forbringing families together,celebrating, sharing love andcreating special memories.

Whether it was bakingcookies with mom, attending aChristmas Eve church ser-vice, trimming the tree withsiblings or tearing open thewrapping paper to find thatone toy you really wanted, ev-eryone can recall a fond mem-ory or two from their holidays.

While the gifts received canbe nice, the Christmas memo-ries made are the real trea-sures folks will hold onto for-ever.

Several area senior citizensshared their holiday memo-ries and their thoughts on whatChristmas has meant to them.

“When I was a child, my un-cle played Santa Claus and onChristmas Eve he would cometo our front door,” GreenTownship resident Jean Stege-man said.

“We had no idea he was ouruncle. He would make us sayour prayers to him before giv-ing us our presents.”

She said she’ll never forgetthe year she “found out” aboutSanta – she was 12 years oldand received a wristwatch forChristmas that year.

Mary Ann Staudt, of Col-lege Hill, said she still remem-bers the year she gave herChristmas gift away.

“I got a doll baby, but Ididn’t want a doll baby,” shesaid. “I gave it away because I

wanted a ball. I was a tomboy.”Delhi Township resident

Nancy Feller enjoyed playingwith her dolls as a child, andsaid she recalls a Christmasduring World War II. Insteadof getting more toys as giftsbecause money was tight, shesaid her mother made clothesfor her dolls.

“I still have all the dolls andthe clothes,” she said.

Annette Kramer, DelhiTownship, said she grew up inFrance and one year duringWorld War II she received anorange as a Christmas gift.

“It was a great big orange,and oranges were rare,” shesaid. “It was really good. Thatwas a gift.”

Cheviot resident WallyBookser remembers being achild in the 1920s and, a coupleof days before Christmas, dis-covering his gift hidden undera cupboard.

“I looked under the cup-board and there was a toydump truck sitting there,” hesaid. “That was a big Christ-mas present back then.”

Betty Gossage, of GreenTownship, said she lived in St.Louis until 1970 and still hasgreat memories of her Christ-mases there.

“Every Christmas wewould have a large familygathering, both my husband’sside of the family and my sideof the family,” she said. “Myhusband’s uncle played SantaClaus and all the kids lovedhim. It was a lot of fun.”

Santa always made an ap-pearance at the family cele-brations Delhi Township resi-dent Diane Allen organized aswell.

“I was always the one whogot the family together,” Allensaid. “My dad dressed as SantaClaus and all the kids would siton his lap for pictures.”

She said they always wentto her maternal grandparent’shouse for Christmas.

“They had a player pianoand the kids did sketches andsang songs,” she said. “A lot ofpeople in my family want thattradition of doing sketches tocome back.”

KITCHENS,KITTENS SPARKMEMORIESJulie Phillippi-Whitney grew

up in College Hill and residesthere today and runs her busi-ness, PW Communications.Growing up in the ’60s, Whitneysaid she has many fond memo-ries.

On Christmas Eve, her parentswould tune to WLW-AM andhear updated news reports onwhere Santa had been sighted.

“It would say something like,‘Santa was last seen over thestate of Maine, headed downtowards New Hampshire, and isexpected to be flying over Ohioaround midnight.’ I would getso excited over this authenticnews report that I could barelysleep,” she recalled.

A couple of gifts also standout in her mind as favoritememories. One was of her veryown “cardboard kitchen.

“When compared with to-day’s toy kitchens which haverunning water and workingmicrowaves this seems so shab-by,” Whitney said. “But to me itwas my very favorite gift thatSanta brought me.”

The other best memory of agift is the year when Santa

brought her a new Siamesekitten, Moppett, to replace herold cat (also named Moppett)who was run over by a car.

“The new Moppett lifted myspirits and she lived to the ripeold age of 23,” she said.

A couple more favorite Christ-mases for Whitney include theyear she got her very own type-writer and the year she got aRaggedy Ann doll.

Western Hills resi-dent Vera Poppe, whowill turn 100-years-old afew days after Christ-mas this year, said herfavorite holiday memo-ries are from her child-hood.

“When I was small,my parents would tell usnot to go in this oneroom,” she said, addingshe’d wait anxiously un-til she was permitted toenter that room.

“Then after a littlewhile they would say,‘Now you can go in be-cause Santa has beenthere.’

“It was great and itwas always a big sur-prise to see what hebrought,” Poppe said.

Many of the seniorssaid their Christmaseswere quite humble andthey only received oneor two gifts. The focus ofthe holiday when theywere younger was moreabout spending timewith loved ones than go-ing over-the-top on gifts,and they would like tosee less commercializa-tion of Christmas.

Gossage said todaypeople can buy theircookies at the local gro-cer and purchase pre-litChristmas trees. Shesaid some of her favoriteChristmas memories in-volved stringing pop-corn together to trim thetree and baking cookies

with her two children.“They loved those

cut-out cookies,” shesaid.

Stegeman added, “Je-sus is the reason for theseason. It’s not thespending of money andall the gifts.”

Although the wayChristmas is celebratedmay have changed a bitsince their youngerdays, Bookser said hecontinues to see the spir-it of the season in people.

“It’s still about the to-getherness of people,”he said. “Christmasmakes people thinkabout love and doingnice things for others.There’s a change in peo-ples’ attitudes at Christ-mas.”

Western Hills resident VeraPoppe, who will soon turn100 years old and still linedances at the DelhiTownship Senior Center,said some of her favoriteChristmas memories arefrom her childhood.

GREEN TWP. — OakHills High School stu-dents studying Frenchand Spanish recently puton an exhibit to teachtheir peers about childslavery and the livingconditions many childrenin Haiti experience.

Students in the highschool’s French III andSpanish IV classes pre-sented the Restavek Free-dom Foundation’s inter-active child slavery ex-hibit titled “Day in theLife.”

“It was outstanding tosee the student docentstake ownership of the ex-hibit and to see everybodyactively participating,”Spanish IV teacher JamiWoy said.

Restavek is the termfor a form of child slaveryin Haiti, which affects onein every 15 children there.Typically born into poorrural families, restavekchildren are often givento relatives or strangersand become domesticslaves, performing me-nial tasks for no pay.

Students explored theroot causes of child slav-ery, exhibited the “Rightsof the Child” that are be-ing violated daily andshared insight on whatcan be done to alleviatethis modern-day atrocitythat is so close to home,just over 800 miles fromthe Florida beaches.

“The restavek was avery eye-opening experi-ence,” French III studentLexi Miller said. “Itshowed me that not ev-eryone lives like me. Ofcourse I knew that, buthaving this hands-on ex-perience truly showed methe hardships these chil-dren encounter every dayand what we can do tohelp.”

Students received a

photo of a restavek childand then traveled throughthe exhibit experiencingseveral stations, namelyabuse, exhaustion and iso-lation before ending at thehope station where theylocated the current photoof the same child after be-ing rescued from childslavery.

“Working for the resta-vek awareness brings youback down to earth,”French III student KikiMurrell said. “It makesyou feel that you shouldbe giving back more toyour own community. Itencourages me to be a bet-ter person.”

French teacher AnnRyan added, “The stu-dents’ passion about end-ing the restavek system iscontagious.”

The Oak Hills FrenchClub and Spanish Clubsponsor a 10-year-oldchild, Dialinsta, throughthe Restavek Freedom or-

ganization, providing es-sential school items to en-sure his education for thisschool year.

It is the hope to con-tinue this sponsorship un-til Dialinsta graduatesfrom the transitionalhome in Haiti, equippedwith love, support andeducation to make a realand lasting difference inthis widely acceptedpractice in a country thatwas founded as a refugefrom slavery.

“It was a great experi-ence,” Spanish IV studentSandy Habbas said. “Notonly did we inform all thestudents about what’s go-ing on with the restaveks,but I also learned more. Iwould love to host this ex-hibit again.”

Additional informationabout the Restavek Free-dom exhibit can be foundat www.restavek freedom.org/build_awareness.

Before heading out tothe local park to fly a newChristmas toy like a re-mote control airplane ordrone, you might want tocheck the rules.

There are some parkdistricts that restrict theuse of any motor pro-pelled devices exceptthose used to transportpeople to and from theparks.

Hamilton CountyGreat Parks says no,thanks to flying toys.Spokeswoman KimberlyWhitton says the bylawsaddress the issue and theHamilton County ParkRangers can enforce theban. The park district didhire a drone company toshoot footage of fall foil-age and you can see it athttp://bit.ly/parkdrone.

Rule 131.16 of the parkdistrict’s bylaws coversmodel toys, and engine-powered, self-propelledradio controlled, or freesailing model and toy air-planes, rockets, boats,cars, sirens, or other noisemaking devices. They arenot permitted to be oper-ated within the park dis-trict, except in designatedareas or with written per-mission of the executivedirector.

Just in case you don’tthink drones are toys,Rule 131.17, which coversaircraft and hot air bal-loons, isn’t welcoming, ei-ther. It says no person

shall voluntarily bring,land, or cause to descend,or alight upon or adjacentto park land or water, anyhelicopter, airplane, bal-loon, parachute, hangglider, or other apparatusfor aviation, without spe-cific written permissionfrom the executive direc-tor.

If you break the rule,you can be fined not morethan $150 for a first of-fense and not more than$1,000 for each subse-quent offense.

The Cincinnati ParkDistrict doesn’t like themeither.

Jackie Binford, in-terim business servicesmanager for the Cincin-nati Park Board, con-firmed no flying appara-tus are allowed withinCincinnati Parks. She saidshe doesn’t know why therule is in place, but Park

Board Rule No. 32 ad-dresses “Flying Appara-tus and Motor PropelledVehicles.”

Per the rule: “Exceptas expressly set forth inthese regulations, no per-son shall operate, fly,launch, drive, or use anymotor propelled vehicle,or flying apparatus or oth-er vehicle (except motorvehicles driven on road-ways designed for thatpurpose subject to anyseparate regulation there-of) on or over park proper-ty, including but not limit-ed to airplanes, balloons,gliders, hang-gliders,boats, snowmobiles, go-karts, rockets, poweredmodel planes, motor-bikes, motorcycles, orautomobiles, except withthe written permission ofthe park board and exceptwithin such areas as maybe designated by the park

board and except in com-pliance with any reason-able safety regulationsset by the park board andmade a condition of anyconsent.”

Green Township PoliceChief Bart West said thetownship does not haveany rules pertaining to theoperation of drones or re-mote control flying de-vices within its parks.

He said the township’sparks regulations werelast updated in 2012,

which is before most toydrones became popular.

To his knowledge, Westsaid there have been noreported issues with peo-ple flying drones in town-ship parks. As the popu-larity of consumer dronesgrows, he said townshipofficials may have to con-sider revisiting the parkregulations if necessary.

“Certainly, if we startto encounter problemswith them, we would lookinto it,” he said.

Seventy-five of Seton’s Na-tional Honor Society studentswill be one-on-one reading tu-tors at the Boys and Girls Club,Carson Elementary and CheviotElementary. Community Ser-vice Hours are a key componentof NHS.

The Literacy Network’s di-rector of external relations, An-nie Cranley Schneider, came toSeton to train the NHS mem-bers. The students learnedabout tutoring as well as impor-tant statistics pertaining to liter-acy.

“The Literacy Network train-ing session helped me to under-stand the reality that many of usare blind to – there is a stagger-

ing number of children andadults right here in Cincinnatithat are illiterate,” senior AllieBihl said. “Although my tutoringcannot make a huge differencewithin the entire community, Ilearned how to make a huge dif-ference in one person’s life. Wehave the potential to change al-most 100 children’s futures – andthat will be a positive differencein the community.”

» Saint Ursula AcademyA recent service event at

Saint Ursula earned some globalattention. To the surprise of thestudents, a hair-cutting eventhosted at SUA helped build abetter world and make an im-

pact across the globe! Health teacher Mary Porter

received an email from a groupof students at Raffles ChristianSchool in Jakarta, Indonesia, in-quiring about the Pantene Beau-tiful Lengths event at Saint Ur-sula. At that event in October,more than 60 students, facultyand parents donated hair to pro-vide free wigs for women whohave lost their hair due to cancertreatments.

Through an internet search,the Raffles Christian Schoolstumbled upon the success ofthe event at Saint Ursula and de-cided to host its own event. Butfirst, the students needed advicefrom the Saint Ursula studentorganizers. Because communityservice is a focus at Saint Ursulaand technology is readily avail-able, a Skype call was set up toconnect SUA students with thestudents in Indonesia. Fromthere, an event was planned.

Saint Ursula Academy sen-iors Annie Hamiter of UnionTownship and Maggie Schroe-der of Cleves connected withValerie, Eleora, and John fromIndonesia, discussed how theyorganized the Beautiful Lengthsevent in Greater Cincinnati andoffered advice and recommen-dations on how to promote theevent. From there, the studentsexchanged email addresses andhave had a continuing conversa-tion about the upcoming event inIndonesia.

Annie is encouraged that oth-ers have used this event as aspringboard for helping womenaround the world.

“Learning and meeting otherpeople who share similar pas-sions was so interesting. Itamazes me that my actions hadsuch a positive effect on others.Because of our events, a connec-tion was made between two dif-

ferent groups who were work-ing towards a similar goal ofhelping those with cancer.”

Annie and Maggie will con-tinue the dialogue with their newfriends as the event develops.While they initially thoughttheir project would be a greatexperience for the Saint Ursulacommunity, they had no ideawhat an impact they would makeand that it would help those in In-donesia as well. The girls, alongeveryone involved in this pro-ject, have learned that building abetter world starts with a pas-sion for helping others, and cangrow exponentially throughtechnology and collaboration.

» Saint Ursula Academy in-ducted four new members to theFrench Honor Society during aceremony at the school.

The new members are: Hay-ley Graham of Pleasant Ridge,Kate Liesch of Green Township,Lillie Listermann of BataviaTownship and Madison Poon ofAnderson Township.

In order to be inducted intothe French Honor Society, stu-dents must have a cumulativeGPA of 3.75 in French during thesemester of initiation as well asa 3.0 or better in all other classesduring that time.

French teacher Kim Icsmanpresented the awards to the stu-dents.

“We are so proud of theseyoung ladies. They have not onlydemonstrated academic excel-lence in the French language,but also a strong desire to ex-plore the French and other Fran-cophone cultures beyond theclassroom,” Iscman said.

I always wonder when I make thesemini fruit cakes just how many of you whoread this column like fruitcake or havesomeone on your holiday list who does.Trouble is around my house, I don’t havemany fruitcake lovers, so making thesefills the bill for those who want this sea-sonal treat.

I’ll be making these, too, for my friendBert, who lives down the road and whoremembers when I made batches of fruit-cake for our catering customers. I do haverecipes for traditional fruitcake from scratch,along with some made with box cake mix thatare really good.

So for those of you who need a big fruitcakefix, check out my site at Abouteating.com.

On another note, I know how this time of yearcan be stressful, as well as joyous. So rememberthis simple thought: Contentment is not the ful-fillment of what you want, but the realization ofhow much you already have. Merry Christmasand Happy Holiday!

Tip from Rita’s kitchenOne ingredient white chocolate icing:Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I had for-

gotten about this easy icing until I ran outof confectioners sugar to ice cut out cook-ies and found a lone bag of white choco-late chips in the pantry. What I love aboutthis icing is that it dries hard, no messyicing that sticks to fingers.

All I did was melt the chips over verylow heat, dunk the top side of the cookiesin and put them on a rack. I sprinkled

them with toppings before the chocolate set.Iced giant marshmallows: Dip into coating,

put them on a rack and shake sprinkles on topbefore chocolate sets.

Victorian Jewels (mini fruit cakes) These are so pretty and really delicious - just enough of a bite to

savor that fruitcake craving. I like to marinate the fruits in brandy for amore authentic fruitcake taste.

1-1/2 cups diced mixed candied fruits1-1/2 cups raisins (combo of light and dark or whatever you like,

including currants)1/2 cup brandy or apple juice3/4 cup dark or light packed brown sugar (I use dark)1/3 cup room temperature butter1 large egg1 cup flour1/2 teaspoon each: baking soda, salt and allspice1 teaspoon cinnamon1/4 teaspoon nutmeg1 cup chopped nuts (I like walnuts)Candied cherries for garnish

Melted apple jelly for glazeMarinate fruits and raisins in brandy or juice at least 4 hours or

better, overnight. That plumps them up and they’ll absorb most, if notall, of the brandy or juice.

Mix sugar, butter and egg until fairly fluffy. Whisk together flour,soda, salt and spices; stir in. Mix in nuts and fruits. Spoon into mini muf-fin tins lined with baking cups. Fill 3/4 full. Top each with cherry.

Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from tins, brush topswith brandy or juice while warm. Cool. Store in airtight container. Beforeserving, brush tops with jelly. Makes between 4-5 dozen.

Waldorf saladRob, a Northside reader, shares this recipe which he says “ is the

perfect accompaniment for that holiday ham”. He said go to taste onthe dressing and other ingredients. I have fond memories of my sister,Judy, making Waldorf salad for our holiday table.

Dressing: whisk together, taste and go from there

1/2 cup mayonnaise1/4 to 1/3 cup cider vinegarHoney or sugar to taste - start with a heaping tablespoon

Salad: mix together

1 heaping cup red grapes, halved5-6 nice sized apples: combo of tart and sweet, like Granny Smith

for tart and Gala or other for sweet, cut into 1/2” pieces3-4 ribs celery, chopped fine1 cup toasted sliced almonds or walnuts, chopped, or more to

tasteSalt and pepper to taste

Pour dressing over salad and toss gently until coated. Refrigerate,covered for half an hour or so. Adjust seasonings.

Tip: You can substitute dried cherries, cranberries or raisins for thegrapes and pecans for the nuts.

It’s time to becomea gun owner

I am an 83-year-oldmale American. I havevoted Republican most ofmy life. I vote for theperson who I feel will bestrepresent me. I was anairman first class duringthe Korean War. I volun-teer in various ways in mycommunity, Delhi Town-ship.

In my lifetime, I havenever owned a gun. I amnow planning to buy aweapon and learn to useit. We have always hadchildren around and Iworried that a weaponmight get in the wronghands. Today, my concernfor myself and my wife’ssafety trumps that all.After hearing the presi-dent’s address from theoval office a few nightsago, I know that my safetymay be up to me. We havebeen preparing for a di-saster with water, food,etc., now I plan to go onestep further.

I tend to be against guncontrol, but I don’t un-derstand why people onthe “no fly list” should bepermitted to purchaseguns. I also am not con-vinced that assault weap-ons should be sold to thegeneral public.

It was a quiet, uneventfulevening on that Christmas Evenearly 50 years ago. My part-ner, Larry Wilke, and I werepatrolling Beat 102, in the WestEnd of Cincinnati. As we werecasually discussing our holi-day plans, the silence wasbroken by a call over the po-lice radio.

The call we received was onthe third floor of an older tene-ment building. As we climbedthe stairs, loud voices could beheard in what appeared to be adisagreement. After enteringthe apartment, it became obvi-ous that it was a routine do-mestic issue. My partner took

the lead, in aneffort to medi-ate the situa-tion, and Iprovided back-up.

As I stoodacross theroom, I felt atug on mysleeve andlooked downinto the spar-

kling eyes of a beautiful littlegirl about 5-years-old. Herface lit up with excitement asshe grabbed my hand and tookme to see what Santa Clausbrought her for Christmas.

She led me across a sparse-ly furnished living room di-rectly to a little “CharlieBrown” type tree with its sin-gle strand of lights. Under thetree was a repainted crib and arepaired doll, with a brandnew dress. She clutched thatdoll as though it were the mostprecious thing in the world.

I knelt down near her andwe talked about her baby dollfor a minute. She insisted thatI hold it, and while I did, shehugged me. She whispered inmy ear, “If you’re good Santawill bring you something too.”I can still feel the tears com-ing down my cheek.

There is no doubt in mymind that I met Santa Clausthat night. This sweet, inno-cent little girl introduced himto me. No, I couldn’t see him,but he was there.

As we left that apartment, Ifelt as though the true mean-ing of Christmas and the mys-tery of good ‘ole Santa Claushad been shown to me. It isinside you. A wonderful feel-ing you cannot fully describe,but deep down inside, youknow it.

Does Santa exist? You bet!Close your eyes, feel him!

The night I met Santa Claus

I have run into a problemtoo often over the last yearor so, and I believe it is timeto sort it out with the help ofyou willing and understand-ing Press readers. It has to

do withfriendshipsbetween toapparently(though notreally) dif-ferent kindsof people.

One wom-an comes tomind who isimportant inmy life be-

cause I feel her genuinecaring for me and respectfor me when she cheerfullylends me her assistance; yet,when I attempt to do littleacts in return here and thereto show that we are friends, Ifeel some barrier that I donot understand and that Icannot penetrate. She is oneof a number of such “almost”friends of mine.

I am talking about folkswho are sighted who gener-ously give of their time,talents, energy and caring inperforming endless acts ofkindness for me and otherpeople who are blind whom Iknow. Yet, when we want togive back in some small wayhere and there, our generos-ity and kindness is directlyor indirectly rejected. Weeven see hurt feelings and

maybe some anger in friendswhen we try to show ourcaring for them. We do notsee gracious and apprecia-tive acceptance anywhere.

What is friendship? I al-ways thought it was a two-way street. What is out ofkilter with the picture I justdrew for you, the readers ofthe Press?

What barrier are we peo-ple on the receiving side notallowed to cross, or to climbover or under or through?

Have any of you readerssuffered from the same orsimilar conundrum, that is,have you felt as though youare always on the receivingend because you may needmore assistance than othersdo in certain situations; and,when you have an opportuni-ty to assist those same peo-ple, your kindness is reject-ed?

I am hoping that lookingat the problem with somedistance and thoughtfulnessand in cooler moments, rath-er than being smack dab inan emotionally fraught en-counter, will shine some lighton my predicament, a predic-ament that stands in the wayof what I think of as genuinefriendship.

Any thoughts please? Mye-mail address is [email protected].

Now that fall is upon us, is ittime to spring into action?

While the temperatures maybe on the downward slope, isyour career direction on theupward path? Is it time to con-sider if a job change may beright for you?

Considering the reduction inunemployment figures andimprovement in economicconditions, this may be thetime. Bear in mind that a largenumber of companies end theirfiscal year in December. Theyhave already projected theiryear-end numbers and whatthat means for 2016 hiring.December and January can befertile months for planting aseed or landing a position.How’s that for getting a jumpon your New Years’ resolution.

Preparing for a move, con-sider your motivating factor,and, more importantly, why.While money is an importantmatter, you need to be con-cerned about explaining this toemployers in possible futuremoves. If you have changedjobs frequently just for money,this can be seen as a “moneygrab” and looked upon unfavor-ably as they review your candi-dacy for employment.

Other reasons for changingjobs such as developing newskills or the opportunity forpromotion will be seen in amuch better light. As much aswe are all “free agents” in thenew economy and can movefreely between companies,employers want to see a pro-gression in your developmentwith the expectation it willcontinue during your employ-ment with them. Note: No onepays for past experience, theypay for future results.

You have figured out thewhy as mentioned before and

you are readyto begin. Youneed a planwith any pro-ject you un-dertake. De-velop a courseof action oryou will findyourself read-ing every Lin-kedIn posting

and spending hours of timecombing through endless jobpostings, articles, and othercontent on the internet. Min-utes turn into hours, days andweeks, and soon you notice youare not making and progressand your motivation wanes andyou give up. Suddenly, your oldjob isn’t so bad. You return towork and the realization sets inagain on just why you need tochange.

So where do you start? Withthe resume, right? Wrong.

You need to start with theend in mind. What does thisnew position you seek looklike? What is the position title,responsibilities, and qualifica-tions? Are these a good fit foryou, or will you need additionaltraining or education? Is theculture appropriate for yourpersonality and core values?

Answer these questions withthe end in mind and now youcan begin the tactical part ofthe job search: resumes, net-working, etc. An effective jobsearch requires proper prep-aration and planning. The re-sult will be a career move plac-ing you exactly where youwant to be.

Adam Baum and Nick RobbeCommunity Press staff

TONY TRIBBLE/FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Elder senior guard Frankie Hofmeyer elevates to the basket for two ofhis 14 points in a 59-50 win over Purcell Marian Dec. 15 at Elder HighSchool.

St. Xavier’s hockey programshouldn’t skip a beat with for-mer assistant coach JasonKamp taking over as head coachfor Adam Tramonte this season.

St. Xavier will be tasked withreplacing Justin LeFevre, theprogram’s all-time leading scor-er, who graduated last spring.The Bombers won a coupletimes in the postseason tourna-ment last year, so they’re eagerto improve upon that standing.

Although the Bombers lost alot to graduation, Kamp saidwith 89 guys in the hockey pro-gram, the junior varsity hasbeen more competitive, “sothese guys moving up (to varsi-ty) have a fair amount of poten-tial.” Kamp added that St. Xavi-er has the most players in thestate.

“We’re lucky we have nearly89 kids … 56 play on our reserveteam, which is a learn-to-play,learn-to-skate, fun-first kind ofenvironment,” said Kamp. “It’sreally exploded in popularity;it’s given a whole bunch of kids achance to wear the jersey.”

The Bombers have six re-turning varsity players this sea-son and four of them are seniorco-captains. Nick Carmichael,Jacob Barnes, Frank Aubergerand Ben Harding are co-cap-tains.

Carmichael, a center, was de-scribed by Kamp as a really ver-satile player who does a little ofeverything. Kamp said Carmi-chael plays “with an edge; easi-ly one of our toughest fore-checkers, and hopefully a goalscorer.”

Barnes, listed 6-foot-2, 175pounds, is a left-winger, “aboutthe most coach-able player onour team; he does a lot of the lit-tle stuff, like blocking shots … abig part of the game, whichtakes a lot of courage and tough-ness,” said Kamp.

Auberger, a defenseman, is along, lanky, cerebral player.“He’s also embraced the physi-cal play; it’s amazing the mentalswitch that goes off between ju-nior and senior year.”

As a goaltender, Harding be-gan to see some time betweenthe pipes as a freshman.

“We recognized his raw abil-ity pretty early on … the neatthing about Ben is how intensehe is and how much he wants toimprove and get better; he’s oneof the best goalies in the state,”Kamp said.

Senior defender Joey Luffyis a four-year varsity player,and “probably the best pureskater on the team, a beautifulstride, he can really get up anddown the ice,” said Kamp. Ju-

nior forward Rope Ketola re-turns to the starting lineup.Kamp said Ketola “has a knackfor keeping the puck on his stickand driving straight throughthe other team,” in addition tobeing cerebral and tough.

The Bombers face Moeller inthe annual Greater CatholicLeague showcase Dec. 19 at theCincinnati Gardens, with Elderand La Salle set to follow theBombers and Crusaders.

La Salle survived a 2-20-2season a year ago. Operativeword being survived. Most pro-grams wilt under the negativeweight of a sour season. TheLancers didn’t fold, if anythingthey’ve attacked the ice harderin an effort to right the ship.

Coach Ken Handley, now inhis 14th season, said his team is“sort of position-less. Every-body who’s not a goalie is a for-ward.” But, what it really meansis that Handley’s shifts are ex-pected to be versatile, able tohandle a multitude of situations.

With only two seniors, theLancers will lean heavily ontheir seven returning startersfrom last year.

Both seniors – Quinten Mil-ler and Alex Smith – are also co-captains. Miller earned an hon-orable mention last season fromthe Southwest Ohio High SchoolHockey League. Handley saidSmith, who was top three on theteam last year in scoring, is theinspirational leader.

Junior Conner Liette returnsthe starting rotation. Handleysaid Liette’s a “strong skater,good passer who can scorewhen he needs to, but he’s moreof an assist guy.”

Once the postseason footballruns ends at La Salle, junior

Drew Obert will transition fromthe gridiron’s green syntheticfield turf, over to the historicice of the Cincinnati Gardens.Handley said Obert’s a beast infront of the net, likely a trade-mark he’s acquired from play-ing offensive and defensiveline, and he’s a bonus on thepower play.

Junior Johnny David returnshome, back between the pipesthis year as the starter. Davidadded some size and “reallygood technique.” Handley saidDavid’s noticeably improvedeach year.

Sophomores Evan Ogilvyand Josh Roesel both started forthe Lancers as freshman, saidHandley, who added Ogilvybrings a “tenacity,” in additionto being a great team player.Roesel has the potential to bethe Lancers’ best player, Han-dley said.

“He has size, strength; he canscore, he can pass,” Handleysaid of Roesel, “he can play de-fense, by far a team leader. He’sjust a really great kid. If you canhave 15 of this guy, you’d neverlose a hockey game.”

One of the Lancers’ youngguns – freshman Nate Scharf –also has big potential and up-side. Handley said Scharf, “sofar he’s just really fast, proba-bly the fastest skater we haveon the team; haven’t really seehim in game situations yet, (but)he exhibits confidence and he’sreally fast.”

La Salle opens its campaignon ice Dec. 5 at Centerville.Handley said his squad hasseemed to mold into a close unit.

“I like the way they feel like afamily, more than they do ateam,” said Handley.

THANKS TO EMILY BREDESTEGE

Elder junior Mike Wynn, No. 6, works the puck along the boards in ascrimmage against Beavercreek on Nov. 22 at the Cincinnati Gardens.

After placing fifth in theAAU Nationals Tournament inLouisville, Kentucky, the goodnews continues to pour in forMike Price’s 17U basketballteam.

Two members of that squad,Ryan Custer of Elder and An-drew Emrick of Lakota East,have committed to play collegebasketball.

Both of these young menhave overcome significant ad-versity to get where they are to-day. Ryan, who is committing toWright State, was cut from hisfreshman basketball team atElder. Where some may havegiven up their dream to playcollege basketball, this unfor-tunate setback only fueledRyan further.

“Being cutfrom the teamreally strength-ened my desire,”Ryan said. Withhard work anddetermination,Ryan fought hisway onto Elder’svarsity team andinto the sights of

college coaches.Andrew, nicknamed “Shoot-

er” because of his tendency toshoot and not pass in kindergar-ten, has committed to FairmontState in West Virginia. Andrewchose Fairmont State becausethey showed the most faith inhim since the beginning. An-drew described the recruitingprocess as, “Pretty difficult. I

needed to grow up a lot and ma-ture.”

Although Ryan and Andrewhave plenty of reason to be self-satisfied, they both rigorouslydenied taking credit for theirteam’s showing in the AAU Na-tional tournament.

Both Ryan and Andrewpraised Mike Price, calling himone of the best coaches eitherof them has played for. Be-tween the efforts of Ryan, An-drew, and Coach Price, coupledwith stifling defense and excel-lent team play, it’s hardly a sur-prise that this 17U ShiningStars team accomplished somuch. The future is bright forRyan and Andrew, along withthe entire Shining Stars pro-gram.
