“The old campuswas agood home for manyyears, but this new loca-tion will provide an evenbetter environment forlearning and careertraining.

“Wewelcome all of theFlorence community tostop by and see firsthandwhat we are building forthem; this is their newschool too,” Brown said.“We are committed tomakingwhatwedo atNa-

tional known throughoutNorthern Kentucky asthe ‘go-to’ institution forcareer training.”

The Florence Campusoffers associate degreesand diplomas in 18 aca-demic areas of study in-cluding medical assist-ing, surgical technology,business administration-management and cyber-security.

The Raidershave won four straight NKACbig-school titles, with Cov Cathfinishing second every time.

St.HenrygolferBrianDug-ganhas a stroke average solid-ly in the mid-80s. When hecompleted 18 holes Mondaywith a 16-over-par 88 in thesecond-to-last foursome at theTouchstone Energy All “A”Classic Ninth Region boys’golf tournament,hewasprettydisappointed.

The feeling lasted about aminute.

Soon after he reported hisscore on Willows at The GolfCourses of Kenton County,Duggan discovered that 88was enough to help createsome St. Henry history.

The Crusaders repeated assmall-school regional champi-ons for the first time with ateamscoreof331,andearnedaberth at theSept. 6TouchstoneEnergy All “A” Classic statetournament at Eagles NestGolf Club in Somerset.

Newport Central Catholicfinished runner-up for the sec-ond year in a row with a scoreof 335.

It’s the Crusaders’ thirdNinth Region crown. Theywon last year with 329.

“I think it’s great we wereclose to last year’s score be-causewelost threeseniors.Weplayed one senior, two sopho-mores and two freshmen to-day,” St. Henry coach JerodCahill said. “The fact we wonagain says we have some kidscoming to our high school whohave talent, work hard, prac-tice and want to get better.”

St. Henry and NewCathwere tied at 243 after threegolfersasideshuffledthroughthe scorer’s tent.All eyeswereon the foursome includingCrusaders sophomores Dug-gan and Will Brady and Thor-oughbreds sophomore BrettBihl and freshman Nick Pe-troze. Barring tied teamscores after regulation, onewould decide the winner. Thetop four individual scorerscomprise final team scores.

Dugganwasmore thanhap-py to be the difference-maker.He was four shots better thanNewCath’s Bihl, who carded92.

“Myscorewasa littlebelowwhat Iwanted, so Ididn’t knowI’d be the clutch golfer thathelped us beat NewCath,” saidDuggan. “It’s great to win.”

Cahill, a former Crusadersstandout and a 2002 St. Henrygraduate, was pumped to playa history-making role at his al-mamater.

“We didn’t have this when Iplayed,” said the sixth-year

coach. “What’s great about theAll ‘A’ is it gives the smallschools a chance to win some-thing. We’re in the same(KHSAA) region as CovingtonCatholic and Ryle. They’re somuch bigger, and they alwayswin. They have like 40 guystrying out every year. I had 15try out this year.”

Senior Luke Tobergte waslow scorer for St. Henry,shooting 79, the second-bestscore of the day. He shot 2-un-der-par 35 on the front nine atthe 6,371-yard, par-72 course.He’s headed to the state eventfor the fourth year in a row.Joining Tobergte, Duggan andBrady are St. Henry twins El-liot and Ethan Berling, a pairof freshmen.

“We’re so young, and Lukeis a great leader for us,” Cahillsaid. “Duggan, he’s awesome.”

NewCath, seeking its firstregional title since 2012, willbe represented at state by 6-foot-7 senior DrewMcDonald,a Division I college basketballrecruit with several offers inhand.

McDonald, one of two indi-vidual qualifiers along withBeechwood eighth-graderMitch Schilling, shot 37 onMonday’s back nine. He wonmedalisthonors for thesecondtime, carding 3-over 75. Mc-Donald won his sixth big tour-nament event in a row.Hewonthe two-day, season-endingNorthern Kentucky 7-Up Ju-nior Golf Tour Championship18-under competition July 29at Lassing Pointe and BooneLinks, capping a 5-for-5 sum-mer on tour. It was his 47th ca-reer tour win.

It’s the second individualtrip to theAll “A”Classic statetournament forMcDonald andSchilling, the Northern Ken-tucky 7-Up Junior Golf TourChampionship 13-under win-ner. Schilling turned 14 lastweek.

McDonald, eschewing hisdriver Monday in favor of histrusty 3-wood to ensure great-er accuracy off the tee, quali-fied for state as a sophomoreregional medalist. He wentwith the team as a freshman.Schilling qualified previouslyas a fifth-grader.

“I’m sure Drew would liketo be going to state with histeammates, butwe got beat byfour shots,” ’Breds coach JeffSchulkens said. “We had toshoot a few shots better thanthat.”

St. Henry finished seventhat last year’s All “A” Classicstate tournament. “We’re realhappytobegoingback,”Cahillsaid.

SHORT HOPS

Continued from Page A7

For an ever-growing organi-zation like theCincinnatiSaints,the off-field success of the 2014National Premier League Soc-cer season is inmanywaysevenmore valuable than the on-fieldresults.

The Saints finished the 2014season with a 3-10-1 record.They also enjoyed their firstseason playing home games atTaft High School’s Stargel Sta-dium and hope to capitalize onthe excitement created by theFIFAWorld Cup.

“Considering the awarenessof what we’re trying to do andtrying to build, I’d say it was asuccessful season,” Saints own-er David Satterwhite said.“We’re trying to do things dif-ferently than other teams be-fore us.”

First-year head coach DavidWall would have liked to seemore victories, but he was

pleased with the Saints’ pro-gress both on and off the field.

“The season has been as suc-cess, as with it being the firstyear in theNPSL, I felt wewere

more than competitive with theplaying squad we had,” saidWall. “The playersworked hardand transitioned well to life inthe fourth division of soccer inthe U.S.”

Wall hopes to see schedulingchanges that would help avoidwearand tearon theplayers. In-stead of back-to-back games, hewould prefer the games bespread out each week and theseason extended to 28 games.The consecutive games andschedule heavy with early sea-son roadmatcheshad theSaintstrying to play catch up the restof the season. The Saints en-joyed their new home field andare looking forward tospendingmore time playing in front ofCincinnati fans next season.

“We didn’t know if anybodywould showupwith ourmove toOver-the-Rhine,” Satterwhitesaid. “Our hopewas to getmorepeople to show up by movingdowntown.”

TheWorldCupcreatedaper-

fect opportunity for the Saintsto promote professional soccerin Cincinnati. The organizationhosted watch parties on Foun-tain Square, with the help ofsponsorHoist.Thecrowdswereoverwhelming, much largerthan the groups of fans whowatched the 2010 World Cup onthe square.

“That was our coming outparty in the city,” said Satter-white. “We proved that there isa soccer community here.”

Now, the Saints must con-tinue to build on the excitementcreated by those watch partiesand the U.S. Men’s NationalTeam’s success.

“It is very important to havethe staff and players continuethe momentum that the WorldCupbrought to the citybybeingactive not only on the field butoff the field as well,” said Wall.“That will only enhance ourcommunity relationships withour fans and sponsor groups.”

The Saints will play the up-

coming indoorseason theMajorArena Soccer League, a newlycreated league that combinesthe Saints’ former league, theProfessional Arena SoccerLeague, with the Major IndoorSoccer League. Arena leagueplay begins in late October andcontinues throughMarch.

“It is going to be super com-petitive. We have to go out andlook for some really talentedplayers to compete,” Satter-white said. “We are really look-ing to kick it into high gear.”

Thenextstep is for theSaintsorganization to continue mak-ing its mark on the community.Through player appearances,soccerclinicsandcamps,hospi-tal visits, and charity events,the Saints hope to spread theirlong termgoals throughoutCin-cinnati.

“The club and professionalsoccer continue to have abrightfuture here in the city,” saidWall.

AUGUST 14, 2014 • UNION RECORDER • A9

You have heard the phrasefor decades: America’s Nation-al Pastime. For decades, as acountry, we reveled in hud-dling around a radio or TV toenjoy a baseball game.

A game invented by anAmerican, played by mostlyAmerican kids, we shared theexperience and had a commonground with debates aboutwhich teamwas better. Youcould talk about baseball withyour closest friends and com-plete strangers, all of themunderstanding how this gamecould permit a shared interestwhile still having fans on op-posing sides.

You knew the question ofwho’s best would be resolvedby the time the leaves began tofall, so there was no reason toget overly angry or upset whenyour best buddy or stranger inthe street rooted for your big-gest rival. Even though anoccasional argument aboutbaseball might lead to a briefscuffle, in the end, one of youwould be rewarded for yourloyalty and that person wouldhave fun bragging rights until

the cycle be-gan again inthe spring.

Baseballwas truly“America’sPastime,” ourcommon love.

The ad-vance of tech-nology into oureveryday liveshas changedthat forever,

maybe not all for the better.This new thing called the

Internet started landing inevery home in the late ’90s.The Internet boom continuedthrough the start of this new,21st century, giving individualsalmost instant access to news,sports and any other informa-tion they wanted to see. Usersbegan to see that they not onlycould get this news/informa-tion faster, they could alsoshare their opinions about itinstantly and interact withothers.

Previously, the “water cool-er” chats at work or gatheringsof friends would discuss local

news events or sports topicsfrom newspaper articles or TV.You shared your opinions ontopics face-to-face; it was gen-erally a civil exchange ofthoughts and ideas. After all,these were people you saw on aregular basis.

The common courtesyshown at the water cooler orbarber shop could be tossedout and opinions could now bebroadcast in its unfilteredform, good and bad. Theshared experiences of a com-mon topic like baseball hadexploded, everything was nowon the table for discussion. Wecould now say exactly whatwas on our mind any time.

These raw emotions areregularly unleashed by theangry on just about any storytopic from amedia outlet. Aperson sees an opinion they donot agree with and may imme-diately dive into online con-flicts with a total stranger.Even friends you may haveknown for years can voiceopinions you never know theyhad. It’s become commonplacefor the angry to virtually “as-

sault” someone that doesn’tshare their views. They canscream at the world now andeverybody’s got access.

News outlets see this andcapitalize on it every day togrow their brand or increasetheir revenues. Sensational-istic headlines that you wouldhave only seen in less-reputa-ble newspapers 20 years earli-er are commonplace for yourlocal TV station. Stories ofcrime or wrongdoing fromanywhere in the world aregauged for posting, based ontheir ability to draw users andany chance they can to createfriction with a story, it onlydraws more viewers. What’smost troubling to me is thatthis trend seems to be growingvia willing participants.

Our shared experiences areno longer confined to baseballor the weather. Baseball’s pop-ularity over these past fewdecades has steadily declinedas our society clamors foreverything faster, sooner,NOW! Rooting for the samelocal team no longer holds theappeal in today’s media-in-

tensive world where boredomis addressed by the flick of afinger or click of a mouse.Every day, there’s anothernews item that elicits outrageor anger from some demo-graphic, who then jump onsocial media to release theiranger on whomever does notagree. Manners and politeconversation are a dying artform and it makes me sad tosee.

Personally, I like to take astep back and imagine theconversation was in person.Try this next time, instead ofspewing negativity to makeyourself feel superior.

Outrage (especially online)has surely replaced baseball asAmerica’s Pastime.

“My favorite destination at theBanks is The Yard House, because,well, IguessI like tomeasurethings.I find I frequent Newport on theLevee much more than the Banksbecause there is so much more tochoose from. The Banks is a nice at-tempt but it fails to deliver enoughmultifacetedentertainmentoptions.Both places would be better served

by offering free parking.”M. J. F.

“I go to The Banks about once a

month. The Banks’ location is per-fectwith theRedsandBengalsnear-by and the Parks, the riverwalk andplenty of parking.My favorite placethere is the Moerlein House as itsoverlooks the Ohio River and SmalePark. Based on what is going on atThe Banks it seems to have every-thing I need. I look forward to whenit is complete as the constructioncan cause traffic problems duringReds and Bengals games.

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’S QUESTIONDo you think there is too much, ornot enough, government involve-ment in schools? Where do you seeit?

Every week we ask readers a question theycan reply to via email. Send your answers tondaly@community press.com with Ch@troomin the subject line.

When you walk through the hallsof our county health centers or apediatrician’s office, it’s not un-common to hear the cries of babiesand toddlers. While some may sim-ply be cranky because it’s nap ormeal time, many of those cries – andoften the loudest of those cries – area result of routine childhood immu-nizations.

The immunization cries are likemusic to my ears, because I knowthat immunizations are one of thegreatest achievements of modernmedicine.

As we observe National Immuni-zation Awareness month in August,here are five important reasons tovaccinate your child:

1. Immunizations can save yourchild’s life. Because of advances inmedical science, your child can beprotected against more diseasesthan ever before. Some diseases thatonce injured or killed thousands ofchildren are no longer common inthe U.S. – primarily due to safe andeffective vaccines.

2. Vaccination is very safe andeffective. Vaccines are only given tochildren after a long and carefulreview by scientists, doctors andhealth care professionals. Seriousside effects following vaccination,such as severe allergic reaction, are

very rare. The dis-ease-preventionbenefits of gettingvaccines are muchgreater than thepossible side effectsfor almost all chil-dren.

3. Immunizationprotects others youcare about. Somepeople aren’t able tobe vaccinated,whether it’s a baby

who is too young, someone withseveral allergies or a person with aweakened immune system. To helpkeep them safe, it is important thatthose who are able to get vaccinatedare fully immunized.

4. Immunizations can save yourfamily time and money. A childwith a vaccine-preventable diseasecan be denied attendance at schoolsor child care facilities. Some vac-cine-preventable diseases can take afinancial toll because of lost time atwork, medical bills or long-termdisability care. In contrast, vaccinesare usually covered by insurance orthe Vaccines for Children program,which is a federally funded programthat provides vaccines at no cost tochildren from low-income families(though there may be a nominal

charge for administering the vac-cine).

5. Immunization protects futuregenerations. Vaccines have reducedand, in some cases, eliminated manydiseases that killed or severely dis-abled people just a few generationsago. For example, smallpox vaccina-tion eradicated that disease world-wide. Your children don’t have to getsmallpox shots anymore because thedisease no longer exists.

By vaccinating children againstrubella (German measles), the riskthat pregnant women will pass thisvirus on to their fetus or newbornhas been dramatically decreased,and birth defects associated withthat virus rarely are seen in the U.S.

If we continue vaccinating now,and vaccinating completely, parentsin the future may be able to trustthat some diseases of today will nolonger be around to harm their chil-dren in the future.

The cries of the children gettingimmunized may be loud, but theyare almost always short-lived. How-ever, the benefits of vaccines canlast a lifetime.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 2014

BURLINGTON—According tothe Kentucky Department ofVeterans Affairs, there are 245homeless veterans in theNorth-ern Kentucky region. A groupof seniors at the Boone CountySenior Center are determinedto do something for them.

“There shouldnotbeanyvet-erans that are homeless,” saidShirley Kraus of Florence.“They put their lives in jeopar-dyforus.”Her latehusbandwasa disabled veteran.

Along with other seniors atthe center, Kraus has been cro-chetingsleepingmats forhome-less vets in NorthernKentucky.But instead of yarn, they use“plarn,” or plastic yarn. Plasticgrocery bags are cut into stripsandknotted together. It takes 20bags to make a ball of plarn.

The idea was brought tothem by Lori Rietman of theBrighton Center, a nonprofit or-ganization that sponsors theRe-tired and Senior Volunteer Pro-gram (RSVP) in Northern Ken-tucky.

The project is connectedwith Cincinnati Veterans Ad-ministration Community Out-reach,which serves theTristatearea. “They’re going to be dis-tributing the mats,” Rietmanexplained.

Rietman and the seniorsbring plastic bags from home.In a pinch, local grocery storeshave donated some of their re-cycled bags. “If I get low onthings, Ialwaysfindawaytoget

them,” Rietman said.The seniors meet at noon on

the first Monday of everymonthat theR.C.DurrYMCAinBurlington.

They began crocheting inJune and haven’t yet finished afull sleeping mat, but they willsoon.

And their enthusiasm con-tinues beyond the walls of thesenior center. “It’s a wonderfulproject for people who want todo volunteer work but can’treally go out and do it,” sharedJoanBachman of Burlington. “Ican sit at home, watch the ballgame,andworkonthisproject.”

“I’m doing something posi-tive for people who did some-thing positive for this country,”added Lynda Banks of RabbitHash.

“I’m very proud of the sen-iors,” said Diana Tripp, the sen-ior center coordinator. “Thesepeople that take time to volun-

teer, to give back to the commu-nity.”

Thereare20seniorscurrent-ly involved in the project. Any-

one that is interested in partici-pating can contact Diana Trippat 859-334-6518, or email atdtripp@cincinnati ymca.org.

BAPTIST

During the earlysummer months,we till and hoe

the garden and evenpull up the weeds byhand.

Seemslike forev-er beforeany of thegardenproduce isready toeat, andthen all ofa sudden,every-thing isripe. Hoe-ing, tilling and weedingtake a back seat to har-vesting. Tomatoes, cu-cumbers, squash, ber-ries, corn, beans are allat their peak. I naeed acrew just to help har-vest!

But really, I’m notcomplaining, becausethere is truly nothinglike picking a ripe toma-to off the vine and bit-ing into it, juice running

downmy chin and all.Or snapping the ends offreshly picked greenbeans and eating a fewas I go.

If your garden isbearing abundantly, too,you’ll appreciate therecipes I’m sharingtoday.

Fresh tomato tartFriend Terry Halpin

is a busy nurse practi-tioner and she told methis was a hit at herhouse. Some folks liketo squeeze out part ofthe juice and seed thetomatoes before slicingso they’re not too juicyin the tart. The flour inthe bottom of the crusthelps it stay crisp.

1 piecrust1 tablespoon flour8 oz. Mozzarella,

Monterey Jack or com-bo of both

Salt and pepper totaste

1/2 to 1 cup mayon-naise, regular or light

(start out with 1/2 cup; iftoo thick to spread, adda bit more as needed)

3-4 tomatoes, sliced,enough to make a layer

1 nice bunch greenonions, sliced thin

Handful of freshbasil, chopped, about 1/4cup or so, or 2 scantteaspoons dry

Preheat oven to 400.Prick crust and prebake10 minutes. Dust bottomwith flour. Mix cheese,salt and pepper andmayo. Spread thin layerover crust. Lay tomatoslices on top. Spreadrest of cheese mixtureover tomatoes. Sprinklewith green onions andbasil. Smooth top, push-ing onions and basil intocheese mixture. Bakeabout 20 minutes oruntil puffed and golden.

Warm Dijonpotato saladwith green beans

I’ve mentioned be-

fore that I’ve workedwith Dave Lieberman,food network celebrityand cookbook author. Ilike Dave’s recipes be-cause they are easy andfun to serve. Here’s oneof his that I adaptedonly slightly. I put thesalad on a large ovalplatter instead of abowl. It was pretty andno one had to dig to geta spoonful of both pota-toes and beans.

2-1/2 to 3 pounds Fin-gerling or small redpotatoes

1 pound green beans,trimmed

1/2 generous cup realmayonnaise

2 generous table-spoons Dijon mustard

1 large shallotminced

1/4 cup red wine vine-gar or more to taste

Salt and pepper totaste

Handful parsley,chopped

Place potatoes in pot

and cover with coldwater. Salt the watergenerously, bring to aboil and cook until thepotatoes are fork ten-der, about 15 minutes orso. Drain. Bring anotherpot of salted water to aboil and throw the beansin just for a minute ortwo until they turnbright green. Strain andrun them under coldwater to stop the beansfrom cooking. In a mix-ing bowl combine theremaining ingredientsand whisk until smooth.Cut the potatoes in halflengthwise and then intoroughly 1 inch chunks.Cut beans in half. I liketo cut them on the diag-onal. Toss the potatochunks in the dressingand then toss in thegreen beans and theparsley. Add salt andpepper to taste.

How to tell whengrilled corn is tender.

Charlie, a Kentuckyreader, wondered howto tell when his grilledcorn in the husk wasready to eat. “I pull thehusk back but that’s anuisance,” he said. Fol-low Cook’s Illustratedtip: As soon as the huskpicks up the dark sil-houette of kernels andbegins to pull awayfrom the tip of the ear,it’s done.

Dave Lapham knowsfootball. He played nineyears with the CincinnatiBengals (1974-1983) as anoffensive lineman, andwas a key player on the1982 Bengals squad thatwon the AFC Champi-onship. He has served asthe Bengals radio colorcommentator for 28

seasons and is a Big 12football analyst for FoxSports Net.

“People ask me whatdetermines a successfulfootball team,” Laphamtold the Florence RotaryClub, “and I tell them, itstarts with the draft.”

The Bengals havemade the playoffs threeyears in a row, and thekey to that success is thedraft. The Bengals play

in a very tough division,the AFC North, andthere’s a reason whythey’ve made the play-offs the last four out offive years. “First wedraft, then we develop,”Lapham said.

He believes the mainstrength of the currentBengals club is the ros-ter depth. “We have somany key players, andthere is healthy competi-tion for playing time,” hesaid. Other teams haveone or two standout play-ers, but Lapham thinksthe Bengals have plentyof guys who are startersin waiting.

He went on to explainthat during the draftprocess, every team hasa list of top players thatthey hope to select. Hesaid the Bengals organi-zation is focused on long-term team development,and tries not to strayfrom their original draftlist.

For example, in 2011,the year that Andy Dal-ton and AJ Green wereselected, the club re-ceived tremendous valuein sticking to their selec-tion plan. Lapham men-tioned three players towatch in the upcomingseason:

» In the 2014 draft, theteam selected RussellBodine, an offensivelineman from NorthCarolina, in the fourthround,

» AJ McCarron, a QBfrom Alabama, in thefifth round,

» and James Wright, awide receiver from LSU,

in the seventh round.Lapham believes the

Bengals are well-posi-tioned to win their divi-sion this year.

The Bengals have atough playing schedule,especially in Novemberwith three consecutiveaway games against NewOrleans, Houston andTampa Bay. Then, inDecember, the teamplays in three big ri-valries with Pittsburgh,Denver and Cleveland.

When asked for thetop games to watch thisyear, Latham said, “TheNew England Patriotsgame will be a good one,and of course, MondayNight Football againstthe Broncos. Clevelandis always a good gamefor bragging rights.”

On the coaching side,two new team coordina-tors have been selected,Hue Jackson and PaulGuenther. Jackson is thenew offensive coordina-tor. He previouslyworked with the Bengalsfor three seasons from2005 to 2007. Guenther isthe new defensive coor-dinator, and has workedwith the Bengals since2005. Lapham is confi-dent the Bengals havethe talent, training andsupport to have a greatyear.

“When we take careof the football, we winplayoff games,” Laphamsaid.

Pam Goetting is amember of Florence Rotary

Club. The club meets at noonMondays at the Hilton

Cincinnati Airport.
