TAYLOR MILL — A thirdcampus for LakesideChristian Church is ex-pected to open this fall onTaylor Mill Road.
The church, based at195 Buttermilk Pike inLakeside Park, opened asecond campus at 1980North Bend Road in He-bron in December 2013. Anew location at 5300 Tay-lor Mill Road, the formersite of Hilltop ChristianChurch, will becomehome to the congrega-tion’s newest campus.
For more informationabout Lakeside ChristianChurch, visitwww.lakeside.org.
“The building is goingto be remodeled before westart holding servicesthere,” said Erica Ronne-baum, Lakeside ChristianChurch’s communicationsand public relations direc-tor.
Sunday services on themain campus still draw anaverage of 1,800 visitorseach week, and the He-bron campus averagesabout 800.
“We draw from all overNorthern Kentucky,” saidRonnebaum. “Even fromCold Spring and Alexan-dria. Lots of people comefrom Independence, so weexpect we’ll see plenty ofpeople from down [Hwy.]16 and 17.”
Ronnebaum said thechurch had been hoping toexpand further east afterthe Hebron campus pro-vided a more western lo-cation, and the Hilltop lo-cation was presented tothem for consideration.
The Hilltop congrega-tion was hovering around40 people each week, andthe church only had onestaff person, who was theminister.
“They liked what we do
in the community, andreached out to see if wecould take over,” said Ron-nebaum. “It was a nice,easy little transaction andwe took ownership on Jan.1. We’re very excited.”
Ronnebaum said someof the church’s business ishandled through the mainlocation, but each campushas its own pastor.
Shamus Staubach, whohas served as Lakeside’shigh school pastor, wasnamed the Taylor Mill lo-cation’s campus pastor.
While Staubach willhandle the day-to-day re-quests of Taylor Mill’scampus, Lakeside’s mainpastor Jamie Snyder willpresent the sermon eachweek.
“Taylor Mill and He-bron are video venues,”said Ronnebaum. “He’s onthese really nice larger-than-life screens, and itlooks very much like he’sthere, but it’s a video.”
Music and welcominginformation are conduct-ed live at each service, butonly Snyder’s sermon isrecorded for the othercampuses.
Staubach is a Cincin-nati native with a degreefrom Cincinnati Bible Col-lege, and he has been onLakeside’s staff for 10years.
“I’m looking forward tocontinuing to partner withfamilies in Northern Ken-tucky, not only workingwith our high school stu-dents, but their families,and to do that on a broaderscale,” he said. “The richhistory and tradition ofLakeside of being such astrong presence in thecommunity, we’re excitedto take that reputation to anew community and do allthe things Lakeside hasbecome known for.”

Lakeside ChristianChurch expands to Taylor MillBy Amy [email protected]
AMY SCALF/THE COMMUNITY RECORDER
The former Hilltop Christian Church in Taylor Mill will openthis fall as Lakeside Christian Church’s newest campus.
When winter becomesbitterly cold and peoplecan’t stand being out-
side, even for the brief time ittakes to sprint from their warmcar to their warm house, EllaKluemper thinks about thosewho don’t have a place to live.
On a snowy morning in thefirst week of February, the 11-year-old and her father left theirhome in Fort Wright. They wereheaded to the Parish Kitchen, anorganization in Covington thathas been providing food to thehungry for the past 40 years.
Their goal was to donate 13sleeping bags, 18 pairs of gloves,and 81 pairs of socks that Ellahad collected from friends andfamily.
“I’m so impressed that forsuch a young person, she wouldbe so concerned about the home-less and the poor,” shared DanNolan, Parish Kitchen director.
Her good works began fouryears ago, when she was only 8.
“I saw homeless people on thestreet,” she recalled. “And Iwanted to do something to help.”
Together with her family shemade sandwiches in their kitch-en, then stuffed them into bags
along with a bottle of water andsome treats.
“We put them in the car andhanded them out whenever wesaw somebody on the streets,”her father, Ted Kluemper, ex-plained.
They usually prepared about
30 bags and gave them away onSundays after going to church.
“We also handed out little giftcards for $5 so they could eat,”Ella added. Sometimes they alsogave out pillows and blankets.

BRIEFLY
ERLANGER — So whyjoin the St. Henry DistrictHigh School FIRST Robot-ics team?
“Robots,” said JimmyRamler, 16, of Union.
The schools’ roboticsteam works on designingand building a robot tocompete in the FIRST Ro-botics competitions. TheFIRST Robotics programprovides hands-on learn-ing experiences in sci-ence, technology, engi-neering and math(STEM). The programalso stresses 21st centuryskills that focus on com-munication, collaboration,problem solving and inno-vative thinking.
For Ramler and histeammates it’s all abouthaving fun and learning.Their team is called Cru-Botics, a clever combina-tion of the school mascot,the Crusaders, and the
word robotics.Recently the CruBotics
team competed in theFIRST Tech ChallengeKentucky State Champi-onship in Owensboro. Theteam received the Judges’Award and was one ofthree finalists for each ofthe following: the ControlAward, the Rockwell Col-lins Innovate Award, andthe Inspire Award.
CruBotics placed thirdin the Qualifying Roundsand was invited by thefirst-place team to joinwith them in the Champi-onship Rounds in whichtheir alliance won theKentucky State Champi-onship. This is the CruBot-ics team’s second year towin the state champion-ship and go on to completein Texas for the FIRSTTech Challenge South Su-per Regionals. This com-petition is March 11-13.
Team captain ThomasMcGrath, 17, of Burling-ton, said he is pleased withhis team’s work.
“You learn a lot doingthis,” he said. “You learn alot about teamwork andcommunication. I like theopportunities the pro-gram has given me. I’mplanning to go into me-chanical engineering.This program has giventhe opportunity to work inthis area at a professionallevel and to work with pro-fessionals in the field. It’sbeen a really good experi-ence.”
Tanner Krumpelman,16, of Florence, agreed. Hesaid working on this teambrings him “a lot of satis-faction.”
“The entire process isinteresting, exciting andfrustrating,” he said. “It’sinteresting to see all theideas we have and how wecan put them together tomake one robot. Thensometimes, things don’twork how you expect andyou have to go back andfix the problems. Youhave to figure out whatworks. It’s fun.”
St. Henry teacher Peg-gy Myatt supervises theteam, but said the robot is100 percent the students’work.
“It’s all their work,” shesaid. “And they work hard.This is a good program for
students because it givesthem a chance to expressideas and to take on re-sponsibility for some-thing.”

College and an associatedegree Gateway Com-munity & Technical Col-lege at the same timenow.
Presidents of the twoNorthern Kentucky col-leges signed an agree-ment Jan. 29 allowingstudents to transfercredits from Gateway toThomas More.
Thomas More is a pri-vate Catholic liberal artscollege in CrestviewHills. Gateway has cam-puses in Boone Countyand Covington.
“Students will be en-rolling at both institu-
CRESTVIEW HILLS —It’s possible for studentsto earn a bachelor’s de-gree at Thomas More
tions at the same time,”said Thomas More Presi-dent David A. Arm-strong.
Students may chooseto enter Gateway to starteither because of the costdifference or becausethey may not be readyfor Thomas More aca-demically, Armstrongsaid.
Partnering was “fac-ulty-driven,” so there issupport and faith in thecourses being trans-ferred, he said. Facultymembers and registrarofficials at Thomas Morehave been working outdetails with Gateway foryears, Armstrong said.
“It allows us to knowthey have a great founda-tion and pathway comingin,” said Lynnette Guzzi-no, a Thomas More inter-national business andlaw instructor.
Guzzino said she hastraveled to China as partof a chamber of com-merce delegation fouryears ago with Gate-way’s President G. Ed-ward Hughes. On theway to China, they talkedabout possibilities of get-ting Gateway students toThomas More.
Hughes said he start-ed talks on a partnershipprior to Thomas More’s
last president SisterMargaret Stallmeyer‘sretirement in June 2013.
“Community collegesare the ultimate accessinstitutions to highereducation,” Hughes said.“This extends that to aprivate liberal arts col-lege.”
Gateway students candecide to spend twoyears at Gateway andthen two at Thomas Moreor spend only the firstyear at Thomas More,said Mike Rosenberg, di-rector of transfer forThomas More.
Programs offeredthrough the partnershipwill include accountan-cy, business, computerinformation systems,criminal justice, educa-tion and RN-to-BSN, ac-cording to a news releasefrom Thomas More. Ga-teway and Thomas Moreare working on morepathways, Rosenbergsaid.
For someone who hasbeen in Catholic schooltheir entire grade schooland high school career,this presents options, Ro-senberg said.
“Even if they justwant to take a year andrebuild a bank account,it’s a program they canuse,” he said.

When I woke up this morning, 5more inches of snow had fallen,making a total of 11 inches in 48
hours.It had piled up at
the base of the kitch-en door again so Ihad to literally shovethe door open to letmyself out. The tem-perature gauge read9 below, so I knew itwas a perfect day forhomemade beefstew: Mary Helen’sclassic beef stew.
Mary Helen was my best friendCarol Spry Vanover’s mom. Whenwe were kids, Carol loved to eat at
my house since there were somany of us and mom would serveher Lebanese food straight fromthe cast iron pot.
Conversely, I enjoyed going toCarol’s house since the food waspresented elegantly at the tablewith cloth napkins and so muchsilverware I didn’t know what forkto pick up when. Carol’s mom wasthe most gourmet cook around.
Little did I know that one of herbest creations, like this stew, wasquicker and easier than some ofmy mom’s Lebanese offerings.
Indoor plant bonus: Naturalhumidifiers
I over winter some tender herbsnear my houseplants.
I’ve learned that indoor plantsnot only help put oxygen in the airduring the day, they help humidifyindoor air since plants releasemoisture through their leaves.
Houseplants also emit sub-stances that suppress mold sporesand bacteria.

Snowy days perfect for beef stew
THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD
A classic beef stew is perfect for a frigid day.
Rita HeikenfeldRITA’S KITCHEN
Mary Helen’s classic French beef oven stew
Even though I’ve made numerous versions of classic beefstew that were delicious, none were as quick as this and really,the taste of this stew is outstanding.
Here’s the recipe with my adaptations. I used my Le Creu-set enameled cast iron pot.
Just make sure your pot and lid are ovenproof.
2 pounds beef, cut in 1-1/2-inch cubes (I used a generous 2pounds and bought stew beef already cut up)
2 medium onions, chopped, about 3 cups1 large clove garlic, minced – my addition which is
optional (Mary Helen did not add garlic)3 ribs celery, cut up4 medium carrots cut crosswise and then lengthwise1-1/4 cups tomato juice (I didn’t have any so used one can
beef broth mixed with 1 generous tablespoon tomatopaste)
1/3 cup quick/instant cooking tapiocaSalt and pepper to taste1/2 teaspoon dried basil2 medium red potatoes, chunked up (I used 3 Yukon
gold)
Preheat oven to 300-325. Pour a thin film of oil in bottomof pot. Put beef in and then everything else except potatoes.Give it a stir. Cover and cook a total of 3-3/12 hours, until meatis tender but remember to add potatoes during last hour ofcooking. (I forgot to add potatoes so cooked them separatelyand added to stew after it was done.) Good with mashedpotatoes, too. If stew is too thick, add a bit of hot water.
Tip from Rita: Stir some frozen, thawed peas in at theend.
To cook in crockpot: 8-12 hours on low, 4-6 on high.Add potatoes at beginning of cooking time.
Soothing lemon tea
Good for sore throats and colds or anytime you need apick-me-up. Lemons are anti-viral, anti-bacterial and loadedwith vitamin C for immune system health. Honey is a tradi-tional remedy for sore throats.
Stir together:
Juice of 1 lemon1 cup of very warm waterHoney to taste
Tip: Freeze lemons/limes whole.Just thaw, and you’ll get lots of juice.

Ask your senator tosupport syringeexchange program
The Kentucky Senate seemsto be on the verge of looking asstupid as Speaker Greg Stumbodid last year when he took SB 5(the anti-heroin bill) whichpassed the Senate and junked itup at the last minute killing it.
This year, Senator Schickeland the right wingers in the Sen-ate are refusing to pass thisyear’s anti-heroin bill (alsocalled SB 5) because it containsa clause permitting local healthdistricts to set up syringe ex-change programs. Syringe pro-grams work.
I encourage the people inNorthern Kentucky to get onthe phone to Senator Schickeland the other opponents of sy-ringe exchange programs andstrongly encourage them tosupport and pass SB 5.
• Among the professionals,the program is called the Sy-ringe Exchange Program (SEP)because the entire syringe, in-cluding the needle, has to beturned in.
• The program works be-cause it gives value to the sy-ringe. Addicts will keep themand turn them in instead of just
throwing them away. That pro-tects children and first re-sponders.
• The SEP program has itsown rules which the addictshave to comply with. Beforethey get new syringes, they un-dergo an examination and anyinfected needle puncturewounds are cleaned and treat-ed, the addicts are tested forhepatitis C and HIV, and the ad-dicts are given counseling ondrug treatment programs to tryand get them off of the drugs.
• Naloxone inhalers are dis-tributed by the SEP centers foruse by the addict and/or familymembers. Note: as of early Feb-ruary 2015 there have been 25“saves” in Northern Kentuckywith Naloxone since it has beenavailable here (meaning Nalox-one was used by first respond-ers, ER’s or friends to bringback addicts from near deathoverdoses).
• Addicts going to the SEP lo-cations are demonstrating thatthey want help. Give it to them.
• One out of three (30 per-cent) police officers have beenstuck by needles carried by ad-dicts or found on the street.Think of their safety.

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat is your ideal place or wayto escape the winter weather?
Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.
Over the last months, muchhas been said about some ofKentucky’s public infrastruc-ture. Sadly, much of this ismired in parochial views andshortsightedness. This is notonly counterproductive butnonsensical.
Let me give you an example.A few weeks ago a readerwrote in to state that since theairport was built in Kentuckywith taxpayer funds from Ken-tucky, and Cincinnati (actuallyBlue Ash) didn’t want an air-port about 80 years ago, theOhioans should put up and shutup. However, most patrons ofCVG airport are from areasoutside Northern Kentucky.
The FAA (a federal author-ity) not only oversees opera-tions, but also distributes fed-
eral fundswhere appro-priate. So,while the air-port is inNorthern Ken-tucky, withoutflyers fromOhio, IndianaAND Ken-tucky, as wellas federalfunds, it wouldnot operate.
The premise that only Ken-tuckians should have a say inthe airport is like Macy’s say-ing only people from Cincin-nati should have a say in therunning of the company, sinceits headquarters is here. With-out customers from the entirenation, there would be no Ma-
cy’s. Without diverse manage-ment, Macy’s would hardly bethe powerhouse retailer it istoday.
Having a homogeneous,local board without outsidediversity will do little to makeCVG a major player in theinternational – or even national– transportation arena. When itcomes to infrastructure we alluse, we all get a say.
As for the Brent SpenceBridge, it is owned by Ken-tucky. Kentucky clearly doesnot want to pay for a new one.Ohio offered to help, but Gov.Kasich was told to apologize (!)among other things, by theNKY luminaries. But the onlyway to complete the bridge ispaying for it. This fact seemsto escape Tea Party folks on
both side of the bridge, as wellas conveniently myopic legis-lators of all stripes.
For what it is worth, thosethat use it, me included, shouldpay for the bridge. The fairestway to do that is a toll system.Any other general tax wouldmake the little old lady livingin Delhi who will never gofurther than downtown, payfor something she does use.That would be truly unfair. Thenation is full of toll bridges andtoll roads that are adequatelymaintained. And people – users– pay the tolls. People who usethe roads, but don’t want to payfor them, are part of an in-creasing minority that wantthe state to provide them withinfrastructure, education andsafety, but want someone else –
like the little old lady fromDelhi – to pay for them.
I for one am getting tired ofthis nonsense. We are part of asociety, and as such haveformed a “social contract” asLocke defined it in the 18thcentury. We live in compara-tive safety, with an infrastruc-ture of roads and utilities. Inorder to live in this way, wegive up certain “rights,” andchoose to abide by laws andpay taxes so that our societycan continue to thrive. Don’twant to live by these rules?Somalia or Sudan beckon you.Using CVG as a starting point,of course.

When it comes to applyingfor outside college scholar-ships, February through Juneare still great months for sen-iors to find opportunities. Anoutside scholarship is anyscholarship not awarded by thegovernment or the school, suchas a scholarship provided by aprivate sector company, philan-thropist or foundation.
But in order to have anychance of receiving any ofthese free dollars, a studentmust know: when to take ac-tion, what it takes to qualify,and where to look.
When should a student takeaction? For seniors the answeris now because time is of theessence. Spring break is justaround the corner and beforeyou know it, Graduation Daywill be here. If a student ishoping to put any outside schol-arship dollars on the table, thenshe or he must complete theirapplications and get everythingsubmitted ASAP. Every stu-dent, regardless of grade levelor age, should look for outsidecollege scholarships to help
reduce thecost of college.It’s never tooearly to startyour search.
What doesit take to qual-ify for theseoutside schol-arships? Theanswer de-pends on whatthe donor islooking for in
a winner: maybe it’s financialneed, academic success, aspecial talent, a hook, greatathlete, terrific essay writer,etc. If you have what they arelooking for then let the fun ofapplying for scholarships be-gin. You may be surprised bythe number of unique outsidescholarship opportunities thatexist so do not give up easily.
Where do you find outsidecollege scholarships? The an-swer might be as close as yourown parents. Ask them if theircompany gives out a schol-arship, check with your churchor club, maybe the company
with which you have a part-time job gives out a schol-arship (Chick-fil-A and Soniccome to mind).
Many high school guidancecounselors list scholarshipopportunities on their schoolwebsite. In addition, there are anumber of other great schol-arship search engines. Hereare a few of my favorites:fastweb.com,scholarshipexperts.com,tuitionfundingsources.com, andcappex.com.
Bottom-line: In order to getany scholarship dollars, stu-dents must meet the requiredcriteria and be willing to takeaction. Why not consider this apart-time job? Make searchingfor and submitting scholarshipapplications a part of yourweekly routine. And whoknows, your hard work couldpay off in a big way. Best ofluck!

Do you use and/or storehazardous chemicals at yourbusiness?
This is your gentle remind-er that it’s time to registerwhat you have there with yourregion’s local EmergencyPlanning Committee, an all-volunteer group that keepstrack of all hazmat in an areaas is required by federal lawsand regulations. The deadlineto register is March 1.
I happen to be chairman ofthe Northern Kentucky Emer-gency Planning Committeecovering Boone, Campbell andKenton counties. But there aresimilar agencies in HamiltonCounty as well as Butler, Cler-mont and Warren counties.
Why is this important?Well, imagine if you had anaccident at your site. Wouldn’tyou want your first respond-ers to know what you havethere? And how to get to it andwhat the best way to eitherput out a chemical fire ordispose of the materials?
That in essence is our mis-sion at NKEPC as well at otherLEPCs. We collect all thosematerial manifests from allthe hazardous material han-dlers in the area, and make
sure that allour first re-spondersknow what’sthere quicklyin case of anaccident.
And notonly is it theright thing todo, it’s thelaw.
The Emer-gency Plan-
ning and Community Right-to-Know Act requires all facil-ities that are subject to thatlaw to submit chemical inven-tory reports (also called Tier2Reports) using the Tier2 Sub-mit Program. This year’s re-port is due on or before March1, 2015.
In Kentucky, any businessthat previously filed shouldhave received a reminderletter from the KentuckyEmergency Response Com-mission this year. Facilitiesfile electronically as Ken-tucky requires the use of theEPA Tier 2 Submit Program.
The program is availablefree at http://bit.ly/EPATier2 .Additional information in-cluding reporting forms and
contacts for assistance can befound at:http://bit.ly/SARATitleIII.
Other departments andstates have similar processes,so check with your county’sLEPC.
And if you have any ques-tions or doubts as to whetheryou are covered by the lawand haven’t before filed areport, it’s better to be safethan sorry and check it out.You can contact us throughour recently redesigned web-site www.nkepc.org. Thereyou can get more informationon Tier2 filing and require-ments.
Again, it’s better to be safethan sorry. Your business andemployees as well as the com-munity at large and their firstresponders are counting onyou.
Rodney Bell is the chairman of theNorthern Kentucky EmergencyPlanning Committee, which over-sees hazardous material accidentplanning and inventory tracking forBoone, Campbell and Kenton Coun-ties. He is also the safety managerat Northern Kentucky’s SanitationDistrict No. 1.

The 56 Northern Kentuckywrestlers who qualified for theKHSAA state championshipsare now experiencing theirown version of “bowl season”in college football.
On the gridiron, footballteams don’t play for a monthbefore their postseason con-test kicks off over the holidays.Local grapplers are now facing24 days between competitivematches after the KHSAAstate meet was postponed toMarch 10-11.
“I’ve thought about it thatway,” said Newport head coachTim Mosley of the bowl analo-gy. “My guys are mentallytough. They face a lot of adver-sity and this is another thing toadapt to and overcome. It’s justmore time to make us better.They have a good attitudeabout it.”
The meet was originallyscheduled for Feb. 20 and 21 atAlltech Arena in Lexington’sKentucky Horse Park. The nas-ty winter weather that has en-veloped the state – with manydistricts canceling classes forthe week as a result – causedthe KHSAA to announce themeet’s postponement.
The KHSAA said March 10-11, a Tuesday and Wednesday,were the earliest dates avail-able at Alltech Arena, whichhas other events scheduled thefollowing two weekends. Thearena also hosts the Kentucky
state youth wrestling champi-onships on Sunday, an eventrun by the Kentucky StateWrestling Association and notthe KHSAA.
The event is in Alltech Are-na partly because its floor sur-face can comfortably holdeight matches at once, whereits former home of the Frank-fort Convention Center couldonly fit six. When the meet wasin Frankfort, it was a three-dayevent.
“KHSAA state events arelarge-scale undertakings, andwith the expansion of the statetournament several years ago,we are very limited in optionsfor holding the event,” saidCommissioner Julian Tackettin a release. “We absolutelyhave to be able to put down atleast eight mats to get the tour-nament completed in two days,and that in and of itself limitsour options. We tried to workcooperatively with anotherevent that is scheduled for Sun-day and rearrange schedules,but that group was unwilling tomove, leaving us very few op-tions.”
Mosley’s Wildcats, whohave a school-record six statequalifiers, are relishing thenew opportunity to work ontheir craft.
“It’s not going to affectmuch,” Mosley said. “We’re go-ing to stay hard-nosed in thepractice room and keep work-ing hard. We’ll have an oppor-

Former Holy Crosscoach Dan Trame recallsthe excitement of winningthe 2005 slow-pitch soft-ball state championship,and vividly remembersthe post-game pile-up af-ter beating Newport Cen-tral Catholic in the double-elimination final.
“We weren’t supposedto win it. NewCath was thefavorite,” Trame said. “Wehad to come through thelosers’ bracket, and wehad to beat NewCath twiceto win. When we won thesecond game, we had a bigdog pile with me and mypitcher, Abby Webster, atthe bottom of it, and Ithought I was going tocrush my pitcher.”
High school slow-pitchsoftball may be a thing ofthe past, but the memorieslive on at Holy Cross,home of the state’s last dy-nasty. The Indians won thefirst of back-to-back statetitles in 2005.
“I can remember it likeit was yesterday. I’m get-ting fired up thinkingabout it,” said Trame. “Wewon three of the last fourslow-pitch state champi-onships, then they took thesport away from us.”
The Indians went 5-1 atthe all-day state tourna-ment, on a hot Saturday,May 21, 2005, at River-shore Sports Complex inHebron. They finished theseason with a record of33-6. First baseman HollyDorning was state tourna-ment MVP.
“I remember howmuch fun we had becausewe had all played togetherfor a while and we werereally good friends,”Dorning said. “Plus, I gotto have my name on twobanners.”
Shortstop RachelMeier, right fielder SarahNielander and left fielderTrista Wolfe were namedall-tournament in 2005.
“It was the first statechampionship of any kindat Holy Cross,” saidTrame, a 1981 Holy Crossgraduate. “The boys’ bas-ketball team lost in thestate finals in 1965, so wewere the first to get to thefinal and win.”
The Indians repeated in2006. They were de-throned the next year, butreturned with anotherstate title in 2008. They be-gan the 2005 march with a16-3 win over Scott. Theybeat Lloyd 10-7 in the win-ners’ bracket semifinals,but lost 8-1 to NewCath,knocking them into thelosers’ bracket. They beatLloyd a second time, 9-2,setting up a rematch withNewCath in the final. TheIndians won the firstgame, 16-14, forcing a sec-ond game.
The Indians piled ontoeach other in the infield af-ter shutting out the Thor-oughbreds 5-0 in the cham-pionship final. It was 1-0 inthe top of the sixth but theIndians added a run on abase hit by Dorning, andscored three in the sev-enth. Nielander’s RBI sin-gle made it 3-0. A single bysecond baseman AmberMartin and Meier’s RBIgrounder plated the fourthrun. Webster’s run-scor-ing single set the finalscore. She retired the sidein order in the bottom ofthe seventh.
“The last out was a flyball to Trista Wolfe in left,”Trame said. “I tackle Abbybehind the pitcher’smound, nearly crushingher, and a dog pile ensues.I was saying, ‘Are you OK.
Are you OK?’ I was wor-ried.”
Webster was toothrilled to complain.“Through the excitement,I was at the bottom, al-right,” she said. “But wewere so happy.”
Wolfe was one of threestandout sisters alongwith catcher TiffanyWolfe and third basemanTaylor Wolfe. All three ho-mered that season. Taylorhad three. Nielander ledwith seven homers, fol-lowed by Dorning with six.Dorning had a team-best65 RBI.
Left-center fielderShannon Donnelly, theleadoff hitter, led the teamwith a .621 batting aver-age. Dorning was next at.591. The Indians had fivehitters with averagesabove .500, including twoof the Wolfe sisters. Right-center fielder Liz Lawsbatted .534. With Laws,Trame deployed a rovingshift in every state tourna-ment game against New-Cath, putting Laws in shal-low left or behind secondbase, depending on thebatter. “Sometimes, I’d be10 feet from the pitcher. Itgave teams a little more tothink about,” Laws said.
“I think it messed themup,” said coach Trame.“We also had a differenthome plate umpire in thesecond NewCath final, andthe strike zone changed. Itgot bigger after the girlshad to groove pitches. Ab-by was throwing it high inthe second game.”
The Indians played theseason with heavy hearts.Lauren Yeager, a sister ofHoly Cross assistantcoach Tiffany Yeager,died in a car accident theprevious June. The teamplayed with Lauren Yeag-er’s initials, LY, on theirshirt sleeves.
“It was an emotionaldeal when we won it. I re-member hugging Tiffanyfor a long time,” Tramesaid. “It’s definitely a yearI’ll never forget.”

Holy Cross last ofslow-pitch powersUpset NewCathon way to first ofback-to-back titlesBy Marc HardinEnquirer contributor
Thomas More Collegeended three weeks of un-certainty this week whenit named Regis Scafe thefifth head coach in pro-gram history.
“Being without a headcoach was a weird feel-ing,” said junior defen-sive lineman Erick But-ler. “We’re ready to getback to work.”
When Jim Hilvert re-signed on Jan. 28 to takethe head coaching job atLa Salle High School, theSaints players werecaught off guard. Theyunderstood Hilvert’s mo-tivations and were happyfor his family-based de-cision, but had to reeval-uate the direction oftheir program.
“It was definitelyhard. Coach Hilvert isthe biggest reason mostof us are at ThomasMore,” said junior quar-terback Jensen Geb-hardt. “Once he left, ourplayers stepped up tokeep our team focusedand motivated.”
Scafe is an accom-plished head coach, bestknown for his 14 seasonsas head coach at JohnCarroll University,where he posted an 88-56record. Prior to leadingthe Blue Streaks, Scafespent five seasons ashead coach at Case West-ern Reserve, his almamater. He understandsthat he has big shoes tofill, as Hilvert led Thom-as More to a 67-19 markand six conferencechampionships in eightseasons in CrestviewHills.
“It is kind of a uniquesituation that happened.
It’s a veryrare op-portunityto takeover aprogramlike this.It is not arebuild-ing pro-
ject,” Scafe said. “Iwasn’t really looking tojump back in. It wouldhave to be a really goodfit, which Thomas Moreis.”
The Cleveland nativedid not leave JCU on hisown terms. He spent aseason coaching line-backers at Division IINotre Dame College,then spent last yearworking with the Inter-national Federation ofAmerican Football de-velopment camp in Ar-lington, Texas. The pasttwo years, after his oust-er at John Carroll, gaveScafe new perspective.
“Sometimes you stepback and you see thingsdifferently. I feel re-en-ergized and excited,”Scafe said. “I feel likeI’ve got some unfinishedbusiness.”
That includes a returnto the Division III play-offs, where the Saintshave not been since 2011and Scafe has not ap-peared since 2002. Scafemet with Thomas Moreplayers during the inter-view process and recip-rocated their enthusi-asm. While the playerswere not directly in-volved in the hiring deci-sion, they are happy withthe administration’schoice.
“He was extremelypersonable. He reallywanted to get to know usas people,” Butler said.
“He showed us that hecares about his players,which is somethingCoach Hilvert did andsomething that reallymeans a lot to us.”
Thomas More alumniwill hold a welcome re-ception for Scafe on Feb.27 following the women’sbasketball game. Duringthe next week, Scafe willmeet with the Saints as-sistant coaches andhopes to keep the staffintact. He does not planon making any wholesalechanges, and likes thefoundation that he inher-its.
“I like to empower myassistant coaches, and Ihope they stick around. Ijust want to tinker andmake use of ourstrengths,” Scafe said.“Thomas More has agreat winning tradition.There are high expecta-tions within the pro-gram, the athletic de-partment, and on cam-pus.”
The suddenly tumul-tuous offseason is finallyover. The players whocame to Thomas More towin championships withHilvert found a silverlining in losing one suc-cessful coach and gain-ing another. During thelengthy coaching search,they held players-onlymeetings and openly dis-cussed what they want ina new coach who canpush them to get to thenext level.
“In this process, Ithink we came closer to-gether as a team,” Butlersaid.
“This takes a burdenoff everyone’s shoul-ders,” Gebhardt said.“Everyone is pretty ex-cited.”

Many wrestlers haveother sports to look for-ward to as spring practiceis underway. Many track,tennis and baseball teamsare having tryouts nextweek and the seasons areright around the corner,with the first date for reg-ular-season baseballgames March 11, the same
day as the state wrestlingfinals.
Wrestlers who haven’tqualified for state are al-lowed to practice withthose who did, but many ofthem will be preparing forthe new season as well.
“There are a lot ofthings playing into thiswhole thing,” Cooper headcoach Michael Flahertysaid. “They’re used towrestling a Wednesday-Saturday and they’re notgoing to have the opportu-nity to wrestle anybodybut themselves. We haveseven guys going and acouple of alternates but itwill hurt the schools thatmight only have one or twokids wrestling with each
other and they’re spreadout from each other inweight class.”
Flaherty said the men-tal aspect may be a tough-er factor these next fewweeks than the physicalchallenge of staying with-in the proper weight,which wrestlers are usedto doing.
Cooper having sevenqualifiers is a team record.Campbell County has themost local qualifiers with10, and Ryle has eight.Newport’s six is fourth-highest locally. Scott andWalton-Verona have five,Dixie Heights and SimonKenton four. Conner hasthree, Boone County andHolmes two.

I may be a bit callousin my thinking, but I’mguessing that most peo-ple don’t believe in mod-ern day miracles. Ifthat’s the case, I’m hop-ing that by the timeyou’re finished readingthis, your mind will bechanged.
Because of these ex-treme temperatures, wehave experienced somecar troubles over the lastfew weeks. Yet, it was ona little back road at astop sign this past weekwhere God provided avery clear sign for myfamily.
There had been warn-ing signs flashing on thedashboard, which myhusband had fixed thatday. We thought the prob-lem had been solved.However, on the wayhome from my daugh-ter’s basketball game, infrigid temperatures, thewarning lights flashedagain and the enginebegan to lose power.
As we approached astop sign the engine died.Right there in the middleof the road, with littlelight around us. Afterattempting to restart thecar numerous times, myhusband directed me tocall 911. It was in thatmoment the realizationhit — although assistancefrom the police and a towtruck could and wouldhelp; someone else wasreally in control andcould get us home.
So without hesitation,I began to pray. Out loud,hand on dashboard, Iexclaimed, “God, you canget us home. You know
we don’twant tocall a towtruck outhererightnow. It’scold, it’sdark andwe’re alla littlescared.
You know the expense,time, stress it wouldcause, and we know You.Please, start this car.” AsI continued to pray, Icalled 911. After hangingup, I instructed my chil-dren to join me in prayerfrom the back seat. Icalled out, “God, I knowyou can start this car.”About that time, my hus-band cranked the ignitionone more time and, in-credibly, the car started.
The moment was pow-erful for all of us. Thebig lesson I want to sharewith you? If you call outto God, He will answer.May you be blessed witha “fresh start” this weekand reminded that, “Godis able to bless you abun-dantly, so that in allthings at all times, hav-ing all that you need, youwill abound in everygood work” 2 Corinthians9:8.
By the way, the carmade it home, we found agreat mechanic about 2miles from our home torepair it, and it’s runningagain. Thanks Bo’z andRyland Service Inc.

“ Huh - What did you say?”

Since 1917
140 West Pike StreetCovington, KY
A couple of weeks agoI featured a column aboutbaking ingredients thatfocused on eggs. OurKenton County Coopera-tive Extension Servicerecently offered a classtitled “Your Baking In-gredients: They Make a
Differ-ence”with tipsfrom ourofficeand theHomeBakingAssocia-tion.
Thisweek wewill cov-er fatsand bak-
ing. Fats coat the strandsof gluten that are formedwhen combining flourand liquid so they won’tcombine as easily – thus“shortening” the glutenstrands and adding ten-derness and a flakycrumb.
When considering thechoice of fat for a recipe,you have many options.
» Solid Shortening:100 percent fat – lessflavorful than butter, butgood for flakiness inbiscuits or other recipeswhere you want a flakyproduct. Also adds goodstructure.
» Butter or marga-rine: 80 percent fat –Adds color and flavor to arecipe, but will affect thespread, chewiness andcrispness as it has less fatthan solid shortening.Some bakers use a combi-nation of shortening andbutter to lessen spread-ing.
Should you use saltedor unsalted butter? That’sup to you. One stick ofsalted butter containsapproximately one quar-ter teaspoon of salt. Itacts as a preservative.Some bakers prefer un-salted butter for bakingas you have control of thesalt, and it is consideredto be a fresher product.Some don’t like to pur-chase two types of butter,so another option is to usesalted butter and omit theadded salt in the recipe.This should not be donewith yeast bread productsas salt works in conjunc-tion with the yeast action.
Other shortening op-tions:
» Baking butter withcanola oil: This is formu-lated to not require soft-ening, but bakes like
butter» Spreads: Contain
less than 80 percent fat –these are often not rec-ommended for baking.Look at the label. Manyproducts that were “mar-garines” years ago arenow “spreads.” They maysay “70 percent vegetablespread” on the label in-stead of margarine, asthey have less fat. Manyof these productschanged to lessen the fatcontent for consumers.They will produce a dif-ferent product however,as the missing fat is re-placed with mostly waterand often some milk sol-ids. A drop cookie, forexample, that is madewith a “spread” willspread out more than if itwas made with margarineor butter. We do not rec-ommend baking with anyspread with less than 70percent fat or you willfind your product unsatis-factory. Sixty percent orless fat products aregreat for topping vegeta-bles, breads or otherdishes, but not for baking.
» Tubs: These prod-ucts contain even morewater and air and we donot recommend using forbaking.
» Liquid oil: 100 per-cent fat. Most of us thinkwe won’t use that in bak-ing – it does not hold airso will not cream withsugar, may produce agreasy or too thin cookie.However, it does addtenderness since it coatsflour protein, like solidshortening and decreasesgluten formation. Oil alsohas a clean taste; some-times we don’t want thebuttery taste to overpow-er our baked goods butwant the tenderness offat.
Other recommenda-
tions for using fat in yourrecipe:
» Room temperaturebutter or margarine isbest for baking, about 67degrees. When your prod-uct is at this temperature,the stick will “give”slightly when pressed. Atthis state it takes aboutthree minutes in a mixerto cream with sugar,which is the first step ofmany baked products.For best results, removethe butter or margarinefrom the refrigerator anhour before baking.
» To quickly softenbutter, place in a plasticbag and pound flat with arolling pin. It should besoftened in about five to10 minutes. It is not rec-ommended to microwavebutter or margarine tosoften. Remember, yourbutter or margarine canbe too warm and soft forbaking. If your fingerswill go through it easily, itis almost too soft to pickup or it puddles. Fat thatis too soft causes bubblesto collapse and it will notincorporate air (getfluffy) when creamed(mixed) with sugar. Re-sulting cookie dough mayalso be tough, greasy, orspread too much. So thenext time you begin yourbaking product, considerthe fat! It does make adifference.
Fat was our topic thisweek, see upcoming col-umns to enlighten youabout other ingredients.As always, feel free tocontact the Kenton Coun-ty Extension office at356-3155 for specificquestions.
