Big Red players share glory

Boys' basketball: Hughes 53, Taft 45

BY CAREY HOFFMAN | ENQUIRER CONTRIBUTOR

The poster held up from the stands by his cousins proclaimed "King Hayes."

Hughes junior guard Lonnie Hayes might be feeling like a king after the kind of weekend he enjoyed. But the real story behind the success he and his Big Red teammates are sharing is that several of them have the talent to ascend to the throne, but none of them feels the need to claim it all for his own.

Hughes, the No. 5 team in the Enquirer Division I coaches' poll, became only the second team to hang a loss on Taft, the No. 2 team in the Divisions II-IV coaches' poll, knocking off the Senators 53-45 Saturday night in a game played at Fifth Third Arena at UC.

Hayes, who had 29 points Friday night in a victory over Withrow, followed with 25 in Saturday's low-scoring affair.

"This was a big win for us," said Hayes. "We had lost two games in a row before we came back this week with wins over Woodward, Withrow and now Taft. We're playing together, and we got back to that and playing defense now."

Hayes was scoring about 19 points a game coming into the weekend, third on a team that features Division I prospects in senior guard Adrion Graves (a Xavier signee) and 6-foot-8 sophomore center Yancey Gates.

"Everyone talks about Adrion Graves, but the thing is he doesn't take bad shots," Taft coach Mark Mitchell said.

"They're a team that's happy letting role players get things done, and then they have Lonnie Hayes, and I'll tell you that he's going to make some (college) recruiter look really good."

Taft was up 20-14 in the second quarter before Hayes scored 11 straight points for his team to stake Hughes to a 27-24 halftime lead. At the same time he was excelling, Taft went into a slump.

"Our shot selection is terrible," Mitchell said. "Right before half, we were on a run, and then we go 12 possessions where we only score four points and turn the ball over three times."

Some of that would be attributable to Hughes. With the 6-8 Gates, 6-4 Graves and lanky 6-6 junior forward Chris Taylor around the basket, good looks were hard to come by.

"We're really been focusing as a team on becoming a better defensive team," Hughes coach Greg Mills said.

"Tonight, with our man-to-man defense, we wanted to be sure to help and recover and keep (Taft) out of the paint."

Taft senior guard Heath White was the only Senator in double figures, finishing with 19. Graves added 12 for Hughes, which at 14-3 is believed to be sporting its best record since the late 1980s.

"This was a big win," Mills said. "There's a big rivalry with Taft, and the last couple of years they've beaten us, so this was important for our
confidence."

Hughes mourns loss of coach

Mills had heart attack playing pickup game

BY TOM GROESCHEN | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER

Greg Mills just had his best season as Hughes boys' varsity basketball coach, but that is not why the school will miss him so much.

Mills, 49, died unexpectedly of a heart attack Sunday. He was stricken while playing a game of pickup basketball at Hughes Center with one of his sons, and efforts to revive him failed. Mills had some history of heart trouble, friends said.

Mills guided Hughes to an 18-4 record and Cincinnati Division I sectional runner-up finish this season, his fifth as head coach. But, he was remembered more Monday for being a friend and counselor to all Hughes students.

"He was Mr. Hughes," said Jolinda Miller, Hughes athletic director. "The whole school is upset. It's a bigger loss than just the athletic department, because we'd normally go to him when we had a loss like this. He was our guidance counselor, and the kids loved him. ... When I heard about it, I dropped to the floor."

Adrion Graves, a Hughes senior who scored 20 points a game for the basketball team this season, said he and other Big Red players are in shock.

"He was very caring," Graves said. "He cared not only about the players, but all the students at Hughes. He helped me mature as a person."

Graves has signed with Xavier. He credited Mills for helping him get the scholarship.

Mills was employed as a school community coordinator at Hughes, which is located across the street from the University of Cincinnati on Clifton Avenue.

The Cincinnati Public School District had its crisis team of psychologists at Hughes on Monday to provide grief counseling to students and staff.

Reporters were asked to remain outside the building, where memorials accumulated outside Mills' office.

"The kids are leaving cards, pictures of Greg, flowers and notes," said Tony Dees, one of Mills' assistant coaches.

"Some of the kids are having a hard time just walking by his office, because Greg was like a father to many of them."

Mills had a 49-55 record in five seasons.

This season's team was led by Graves, junior Lonnie Hayes and sophomore Yancey Gates, as Hughes finished No. 4 in the Enquirer Division I coaches' poll.

Mills played high school basketball at Woodward, and later played at Northern Kentucky University. He was an assistant coach at Woodward and Western Hills before becoming Hughes head coach.

Lannis Timmons, now head coach at Woodward, had Mills on his staff when Timmons was coach at Western Hills. That included the 2000-01 Western Hills team that reached the Division I regional finals.

Mills had a heart attack during that season, Timmons said.

"Greg was a great guy, and he'd always have a good one-liner for you," Timmons said. "He told me this year when they lost once, 'Hey T, my players went on strike. They just didn't tell me.' Then he laughed, because he could always laugh at himself."

Hughes was scheduled to play season openers Monday in both baseball and softball, but the games were postponed because of Mills' death.

A funeral will be held today at 12:30 p.m. at the Islamic Center of Cincinnati, 3668 Clifton Ave. Burial will follow at Spring Grove Cemetery.

A memorial service will be held at Hughes on Wednesday at 2 p.m. in the auditorium. The public is invited.

Mills was married with children, but Cincinnati Public Schools spokesperson Janet Walsh said the list of survivors is incomplete.

In lieu of flowers, remembrances can be made to the Hughes Center Scholarship Fund, 2515 Clifton Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45219.

Các bạn mở quán cà phê muốn biết cách pha cà phê ngon bằng máy theo phong cách Việt Nam, Coffee tree sẽ hướng dẫn các bạn chi tiết cách pha cà phê ngon từ máy.

Bạn mở quán cà phê, bạn đã quen với cách pha phin truyền thống của Việt Nam. Nhưng phong trào cà phê hiện đại bằng máy pha đã phát triển tại các thành phố lớn như HN, TP.HCM...và tất nhiên các tỉnh thành khác dù sớm hay muộn.

Người việt vẫn thích pha cà phê phin hơn, nhưng máy pha đang dần dần phổ biến nhằm giúp cho các bạn tiết kiệm thời gian pha cà phê, cũng như cho một chất lượng cà phê tốt hơn, vì máy pha cà phê có bộ nén tạo lực để có được một ly cà phê chât lượng hơn và tiết kiệm cà phê.

Cái tên Espresso bắt nguồn từ nước Ý. Trong tiếng Ý, Espresso được gọi là “express”, nghĩa là cà phê có thể được phục vụ cho khách hàng ngay lập tức. Cách pha cà phê Espresso được quy định bởi bốn chữ M’s : “…Macinazione nghĩa là cách xay cà phê, Miscela là cà phê trộn, Macchina là máy pha cà phê, và Mano là bàn tay khéo léo của người thợ pha cà phê…”. Cà phê Espresso sẽ trở nên hoàn hảo nhất nếu bốn chữ “M” trên được thực hiện đúng.

1. Trộn Espresso: Mục đích của việc trộn cà phê Espresso là để tạo ra một loại cà phê có mùi vị đặc biệt mà không loại cà phê riêng lẻ nào có được. Những loại cà phê thường được dùng là cà phê từ Braxin, Mexico, Panama và Peru. Mỗi loại cà phê khác nhau lại cho mùi vị, độ chua, độ đậm đặc và dư vị khác nhau.

2. Rang Espresso: Hương thơm và vị ngọt là hai yếu tố quan trọng của một tách Espresso ngon. Vì vậy, mục đích của việc rang cà phê Espresso là để giữ lại hương thơm và vị ngọt, cũng như giảm tối đa vị chua và đắng. Việc này có thể được thực hiện bằng cách chọn đúng thời điểm kết thúc, thường là ở thời kì hạt nổ lần thứ nhất.

3. Xay Espresso: Người ta thường dùng máy xay kiểu Burr để xay cà phê Espresso. Vì khi tiếp xúc với không khí, những hợp chất chứa hương vị của cà phê rất dễ bị mất đi, quá trình xay phải diễn ra càng nhanh càng tốt. Thời gian xay hợp lí là từ 23-28 giây. Thêm nữa, dụng cụ cũng phải được thay hàng ngày để tránh việc cà phê hút ẩm và mất nhiều thời gian xay hơn.

4. Pha Espresso: Pha Espresso được đánh giá là một “nghệ thuật”, và người pha cà phê Espresso có thể lấy đây làm một cơ hội để thể hiện đầy đủ tài nghệ pha cà phê của mình. Một tách Espresso hoàn hảo phải có vị ngọt đặc biệt và hương thơm hấp dẫn của cà phê mới xay. Vị của Espresso vừa đậm đà, lại vừa thanh thoát. Thêm vào đó, ít phút sau khi uống,vị thơm của cà phê vẫn lưu lại trong vòm họng.

Espressp là phương pháp pha cà phê chuẩn mực của cà phê Italy. Độc đáo và thông minh. Máy pha cà phê espresso là tác phẩm nghệ thuật thực sự do người Italy sáng tạo ra. Cà phê được pha ở áp suất rất cao. Một cái bơm, bơm nước qua một ống xoắn bằng đồng. Nước được đun nóng nhanh trong hệ thống ống đồng đó lên đến nhiệt độ gần 100°C (không dưới 90°C). Áp lực đẩy nước qua bột cà phê được nén chặt trong một cái lọc. Nước chảy nhanh qua bột cà phê, qua một cái lọc kim loại thẳng vào cốc chỉ trong vài chục giây. Kết quả là một ly cà phê nóng, đặc và đẫm đầy hương thơm, tuy thế mà vẫn không đắng mà êm và xốp nhẹ như kem.

Đến ngày hôm nay phương pháp pha cà phê này được coi là ưu việt nhất bởi vì những lý do sau: Pha ly nào xay bột cà phê cho ly đó, cà phê giữ được hương thơm hơn, mà người uống có thể yêu cầu điều chỉnh để bột cà phê xay thô, xay vừa hay xay mịn, tùy ý thích. Nước nóng già nên hương thơm của cà phê được chiết xuất ra ở hiệu suất tối đa và không bị bay đi mất. Nước nóng được xục qua nhanh, bột cà phê không bị cháy nên không đắng và lượng cafeine tan vào nước cũng không quá nhiều như khi luộc cà phê trong nước trong thời gian dài hơn. Bộ lọc tinh có thể sử dụng được, nhờ áp lực cao của nước, vì thế trong cà phê không có vẩn đục như khi chỉ nhờ trọng lực để đẩy nước chạy qua cà phê.
