Sometimes talk is cheap.Colerain Township Safety
Service Director Dan Meloy be-lieves conversation can be gold,especially if it builds communi-ty and fosters communicationamong the people who live inthe township.
A conversation about racethe day before the expectedrevelation of a Hamilton CountyGrand Jury decision about a po-lice officer shooting an AfricanAmerican during a traffic stopmay have looked exploitative.The township was laying thegroundwork for the July 28 con-versation long before the traf-fic stop that ended with UC Po-lice Officer Ray Tensing shoot-ing and killing Sam DuBose.
Following events in Fergu-son, and Baltimore, ColerainTownship Safety Services Me-loy said he didn’t want to have asimilar event be the catalyst forhis diverse community to haveconversations about race rela-tions. Instead, he and his safetyservice team determined theywould be proactive and setthose conversations in motionwithout an initiating event. Hesays the township leadershipdecided to begin work at build-ing better relationships be-tween the township’s serviceproviders and the residentsthey serve.
He worked with the townshipPolice Chief Mark Denney andFire Chief Frank Cook to set upintentional conversations aboutrace to build a sense of commu-nity and belonging, a conscious-ness of “our” vs mine or yours.
The nonprofit Citizens forCivic Renewal came in to helpthe township focus on the rela-tionship between the townshipand its minority communities.CCR director Jeffrey Stec saidAfrican Americans now com-
prise about 10 percent of thepopulation in Colerain Town-ship, and the number of familiesin the township living in pover-ty has also been on the rise, par-ticularly along the township’sborder with Cincinnati.
The process began with Me-loy, Police Chief Mark Denney,Fire Chief Frank Cook and arepresentative from the North-west Local School Districtmeeting and choosing somecommunity leaders from the
African American communityin the township to serve on coreteams.
The township recruited coreteams who have been meetingwith the goal of setting up larg-er public conversations. Thefirst, on July 28, brought morethan 70 people to the ColerainTownship Senior and Communi-ty Center, to talk in small groupsabout a topic some find unset-tling: race relations.
Scott Rahm says he moved to
Colerain Township about amonth ago. He’s white and sayshe lived in a number of differ-ent areas of the country beforereturning to Cincinnati. Hecame to the meeting because hesaw it as an opportunity to meetother people in his new commu-nity and hear what they have tosay about the good and the badhappening there.
“TV shows the extremes,” hesaid. “It paints a bleak picture. Iwas hoping to see a picture thatis not so bleak, maybe get in onthe ground floor of a good thinghere.”
Rahm said conversationsabout race can be uncomfort-able because of the fear of beingmisunderstood or judged as be-ing racist if talk is honest.
“These are awkward conver-sations to have. It’s not easy,” hesaid.
Priscilla Maxey, a 75-year-old African American woman,says her fear is a lack of in-volvement and engagementfrom other members of thecommunity. “People don’t wantto get involved,” she said. “Andwe need them to be.”
Meloy is banking on the pow-er of conversation. “Buildingcommunity and communicationis vital,” he said. “My hope isthat the people who were herewill come back, and bring some-one with them. We want to build
Colerain starts a communityconversation about race
About 80 people came to Colerain Township’s first conversation on race July 28. Officials say they hope it was justthe beginning of an ongoing opportunity to address community issues.

on this.”Kenneth Williams, 27,
said he would come backfor more conversation.
“The recent events,they hit home to me as anAfrican American. Iwanted to hear what oth-er people thought. Policeofficers fear for theirlives,” he said. “Commu-nity members fear fortheir lives. We share thesame fears. We don’tthink that differently.”
He said the focus onwhat people feared wasinformative and he looksforward to future conver-sations about police pro-cedures and other topics.“I’d come back,” he said.
Williams said con-fronting the issue of racehas to start on a microlevel.
“We start with our-selves,” he said. “Then itmoves to the community,then to the city, then thestate, and eventually thecountry. But it has tostart with us.”
Face-to-face conver-sations to overcome ra-
cial barriers is not a newidea. In 2001, The Cincin-nati Enquirer sponsored“Neighbor to Neighbor,”a five-month series ofneighborhood meetingsintended to get peopletalking about why Great-er Cincinnati is dividedby race and how to bridgethe gap. More than morethan 2,100 people fromnearly every Tristateneighborhood were in-volved. They met inchurch basements, livingrooms and libraries.
More recently, Cole-rain High School hosted“Building a Culture ofRespect,” in April. Acommunity discussionabout diversity, inclusionand respect, the sympo-
sium was spelled out in asettlement of a lawsuitfiled by the parents offour African Americanstudents alleging theirchildren were kicked outof Colerain High Schooland denied due process inApril 2014 because oftheir race.
It is an idea that’s mak-ing a comeback, and notjust locally. In Chattanoo-ga, Tennessee, two cou-ples invited people theyknew – black and white –for dessert and conversa-tion at one of their homes.Fifty people came. Overthe course of two yearsand nine conversations,more than 300 people par-ticipated, according tothe group’s website,
chattanoogaconnected.com.Others began to host des-sert conversationsacross town and in othercities.
The group encouragespeople to intentionallyreach out to other races.Go to lunch, have dessert,tell stories. Can buildingfriendships across colorlines make communitiesstronger?
“We don’t know wherethis will go, but we knowthat friendships are thefoundation from whichother good things hap-pen,” the website says.“And in the meantime ourlives are enriched.”
In July, the ColerainTownship police depart-ment went door to door inSkyline Acres, a predom-inantly African Ameri-can neighborhood on thetownship’s eastern bor-der, to listen to residents.The police and fire de-partments’ citizen acade-mies are planning to hosta grill out in the SkylineCommunity Park in Au-gust, before school be-gins, to share what theyheard as they talked withpeople in the neighbor-hood.
Meloy says this is firstin a number of “Just aConversation” meetingsto help his communityget comfortable talkingabout race relations withpolice and firefightersand residents in the town-ship.
“It was a start,” hesaid. “A good start.”

The annual Northwest Local School District Health and SafetyExpo is set for Aug. 12 at Northgate Mall.
cy High School students andadults spent six days of theirsummer vacations living, serv-ing, and experiencing the Over-the-Rhine, West End, East PriceHill and Lower Price Hill neigh-borhoods of Cincinnati as par-ticipants in the St. Vincent dePaul Ozanam Center for Ser-vice Learning, proving that ser-vice trips don’t have to be faraway.
From June 21-26, the groupprayed, worked, ate and slept atthe Bank Street location, goingout into various communities,social service agencies, andlearning about poverty duringthe day.
Many activities were packedinto the six days, includingworking at a food pantry, visit-ing the poor in their homes, apoverty job search simulation,and going to Our Daily Bread,Sarah Center, and Mary Magda-len House.
For example, the Tuesdayagenda was:
» Guests in the Neighbor-hood: The group rode the Metroto Washington Park, where theytalked to people in and aroundthe park. They asked them whythey liked Over-the-Rhine, whatthey disliked about it, their opi-nion of the city, and how theyfelt about the streetcar. Every-one the students approachedwas friendly and open and will-ing to converse.
» A tour of Sarah Center: Sa-rah Center is a place wherewomen are empowered to sup-plement their income by mak-ing and selling jewelry. Thereare also classes offered in sew-ing and quilting.
» SNAP Simulation: To try tostep into the shoes of peoplewho are on Supplemental Nutri-tional Assistance Program, for-merly known as food stamps,each group of three or fouryoung women were given fivedollars with which to buy foodat the Vine St. Kroger store.This food needed to be healthyand feed them one dinner. Theythen cooked and at the foodback at the Bank St. center.
The week wrapped up on Fri-day with the students helping atthe Choice Food Pantry andserving a picnic lunch to the pa-trons of the pantry, followed bya prayer service and commis-sioning ceremony.
The McAuley students whoexperienced this meaningfultrip were Briah Moore, PaigeTelles, Maggie Olding, CaraDiscepoli, and Tierney Sunder-man, and the McAuley chaper-ones were Gina Keith, TedWard, Brigitte Foley and KathyDietrich.
The Mother of Mercy stu-dents were Ra’Neisha Carter,Sarah Merz, Rebecca Gretz,Maria Schroeder, Olivia Mul-len, and Hannah Back, and theMother of Mercy adult chaper-ones were Lauren Schroederand Dave Mueller.
McAuley senior Maggie Old-
ing said, “Throughout the weekat St. Vincent de Paul, I realizedyou don’t have to go far to wit-ness poverty. We realized thatjust talking to people who arestruggling or homeless can go avery long way. I went on thistrip expecting to touch thehearts of those around me, butthey were the ones who endedup impacting my life.”
Mother of Mercy senior Sa-rah Merz has nearly identicalsentiments. “Through my expe-rience at St. Vincent De Paul, Irealized that I did not need to goout of the country to do missionwork. There are problems andpeople suffering right here inour own community. I got achance to put myself in theirshoes and realize how hard lifecan actually be. It was a lifechanging experience that I willalways remember.”
McAuley and Mother of Mer-cy High Schools, as part of theMECC (Mercy Education Col-laborative of Cincinnati), willcontinue to collaborate on ser-vice and other activities in thefuture.

PUZZLE ANSWERS FROM 6B
AUGUST 5, 2015 • NORTHWEST PRESS • 5ANEWS
I usually put all my pots andpans away after dinner, butduring corn season, my corn
pot gets washedand put back onthe stove everyday. Really. Wegrow silverqueen corn and itseems like it allripens at once sowe eat it boiledor grilled justabout every day.I get the waterboiling or the
grill hot before the corn isbrought to the back door of thekitchen, ready to be shucked.
Since our young green beans(haricot verts) and tomatoespractically begged to be pickedwhen I hoed the garden, I de-cided to make this wonderfulsummer salad using the corn,tomatoes and green beans.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen: Ispearl barley a wholegrain?
No, since some of the branhas been removed, but nutri-tionally speaking, it does counttoward your grain servingsbecause of the fiber content.
How does a whole grainlook?
To demonstrate how a wholegrain looks, peel a hard boiledegg. The shell is the chaff orthe outer covering, the whiterepresents the bran with vita-mins and minerals and the yokerepresents the germ, the “seed”part, so nutritious, of the grain.

Pour dressing over salad and check for seasonings. Sprinkle with goat cheese.
Neiman Marcus classicMargarita pie withpretzel crust
I’ll have to start writing namesdown when people ask for recipes.Here again, I thought I’d rememberthe name of the young mom whowanted to make this but the onlything I can remember is how nicelyshe asked if I had a recipe for Nie-man Marcus’ Margarita pie. “I had itat a party and the hostess wouldn’tpart with the recipe, only to tell methe pie came from Neiman Marcus”,she said. The note in my file tells meI enjoyed this pie at a Neiman Mar-cus event way back when. Nothingeasier or more refreshing for a hotsummer day’s dessert. This makes 2pies.
Crust:
2-1/2 cups pretzels (1 poundbag), crushed in food processor
1/2 cup sugar8 oz. butter or margarine,
meltedStir crushed pretzels and sugar
into butter. Divide between two9” pie pans and, press mixturefirmly onto bottoms and sides ofpans. Freeze 1 hour.

July 29 questionShould military person-
nel be allowed to carry fire-arms on military bases in or-der to defend themselves?Why or why not?
“I think they should notonly be allowed but re-quired to carry firearms.With the current state ofthe United States I wouldlike to see this become alaw that is extended to allemployees that work out-side their homes. I thinkevery American should berequired to open carry oneside arm which will be re-quired to be worn at alltimes outside the home.
“Also, citizens should berequired to own and opencarry, one assault style ri-fle. They could place this ina secure office locationonce they were officially intheir work place, but it hadto be easily accessible incase their place of employ-ment came under attack.
“Also, I think that everycitizen should be made toregister and belong to theNational Rifle Association.They would not be re-quired to make contribu-tions to them, or seek theirfavor, but I think gun cul-ture needs to become moreof an integral part of citi-zenship in the UnitedStates. It is what our found-ing fathers envisioned. Anarmed population is a po-lite population.”
C.S.
“Of course they shouldbe allowed carry firearmson base. That’s what theydo. They train for war, theydo war, they know weaponsand how to use them safely
yet aggressively. Sincethere have been multipleattacks of military person-nel while on base (an act ofwar by the evildoers), whywould they not be able toconduct self preservationcounter measures whileunder attack? Seems like asilly debate to have.”
M.J.F.
“There have been multi-ple attacks on military bas-es (e.g. Fort Hood and re-cently the Washington Na-vy Yard). There are somemilitary-based personnelthere that are armed suchat Military Police and en-try guards. With the in-crease of terrorists, jihadsand just plain idiots it istime to revisit this law. Itwas only recently that therules were changed to dis-arm those in the militarycomplexes (circa 1990s). Ido not remember any at-tacks on military bases pri-or to the 1990s disarming ofthe military personnel. GoFigure!”

Too often, Ohio residents havean outdated view of career-tech-nical education.
They imagine vocationalschools from decades past anddon’t realize that for many years,career centers like Great OaksCareer Campuses, Grant CareerCenter, the Warren County CareerCenter and Butler Tech have beencutting-edge schools where stu-dents study using state-of-the-artequipment and prepare for col-lege as well as good-paying ca-reers.
Some facts you may not know:» Career exploration begins at
a younger age. This is an Ohiomandate now, but districts likeGreat Oaks have been offeringthe chance for junior high stu-dents (and younger) to learn morein their own schools about poten-tial careers for years. With theadvent of OhioMeansJobs andother online resources, studentsalso have online access to infor-mation about a wide range ofoptions.
» Career programs at tradition-
al high schoolsgives all stu-dents moreoptions. Moreand more CTEclasses arebeing held inthe next class-room, not in aseparate build-ing. High schoolstudents canreceive career
education and experience withoutleaving their school. At GreatOaks, for instance, the number ofsatellite programs in such areasas marketing, engineering, bio-medical science, business andteaching has exploded in recentyears.
» Regional business is involvedin CTE education. Many peopleare surprised to learn about real-world connections to CTE. Areabusiness leaders and profession-als work closely with schools,teachers, and students to ensurethat what students learn in theCTE lab will be what they need
when they graduate. Businessadvisors help recommend equip-ment and curriculum, discuss theskills that students need, and evenprovide internships, co-ops andjobs for students and graduates.
» Students can earn collegecredit. CTE students not only cango to college, they often do so withcredits already earned. This in-cludes credit in their career fieldearned in their CTE la - and alsoacademic credit through DualCredit classes, PSEO, and CollegeCredit Plus.
High-tech labs, connections tolocal business and industry, andcollege preparation mean thatcareer-technical students areprepared for today’s world whenthey graduate. As one Masonresident told us recently, “This isnot my grandfather’s vocationalschool!”
Stop in and see us. We’re excit-ed to show you what’s new withCTE.

Colerain’s parks and fi-nances desperately need im-mediate maintenance.
I have walked in ColerainPark on Springdale Road forthe past 12 years. During thattime I have observed the parkgo from wonderful to badshape. Originally, 15 workersunder competent leadershipsuperbly maintained Colerain’s11 parks, 11 cemeteries, and theadministration and communitycenter grounds. The park staffperformed the numerous tasksthat made the parks a pleasur-able place to walk, visit, attendbaseball games, or just sit andenjoy nature. The staff hasbeen reduced over the years tothe point that soon only fourfull-time employees will beassigned to maintain them.And it’s starting to show.
Now I rare-ly see anyworkers atColerain Park.The littleleague ballgames havebeen replacedwith weedsgrowing on theplaying fields.Infields thatonce were
scraped regularly are nowuneven and idle. Groups thatused to have games in ColerainPark are going elsewhere es-pecially given the recent in-creases in usage fees and thenew parking permits costs. Ihave also observed an increasein vandalism and a decrease insafety. Just recently someoneattacked the soda machine and
vandalized a security camera.Arson in one of the restroomshas closed this facility formore than a month and repairswill cost major bucks to fix.
Clearly Colerain’s Parks areexperiencing their “rainydays.” Why is it necessary forwet grass to be cut with un-sharpened mower blades? Whyis the Township allowing un-safe conditions such as over-grown bushes, dead tree limbshanging over walkers’ heads,cracked walkways filled withdebris, weeds growing out ofsewers, and playing field mudoozing onto the walkways?Lastly, the once pristine rest-rooms are in decline. If thesethings aren’t a rainy day situa-tion, what is?
The residents of ColerainTownship need to know what
our leaders are planning to doto keep the parks maintainedand vibrant. While residentsare aware that the currentTownship finances situationhas closed the Skyline Commu-nity Center facility and maylead to the sale of its greenspace, most of us are hopingthis same thing won’t happento our parks.
In addition to this issue,township funds to maintain ourroads are also critically lack-ing. While the standby solutionto issues like these has in thepast been to request the resi-dents/voters to approve anoth-er levy, can the township af-ford to hang all their hopes onthat tacit?
My property taxes havedoubled since 1991 and therecent negative result on the
school levy vote shows thatproperty owners want a differ-ent answer than raising taxes.There are other options. Town-ship officials need to:
1) address over-funding incertain departments;
2) reduce administrationsalaries and costs;
3) spend some rainy dayfunds;
4) lobby Hamilton County tore-negotiate it’s one-sidedBengal’s Stadium “lease,” and
5) insist that Columbusrestore local government fund-ing the township used to getthrough the Ohio estate tax.

Believe me, our family knowsa bit about the Confederates andthe flags they used to wave.
After the Civil War, my great-great uncle, Charles Nathan,convinced the emperor of Brazilto allow what became around20,000 confederate veterans andtheir families to immigrate toBrazil.
These veterans - for the mostpart - had refused to take theoath of allegiance to the UnitedStates, required at the end ofhostilities. As such, as late as1916, they were routinely re-fused U.S. citizenship, as a re-sult. To this day there is a thriv-ing - and racially diverse - com-munity of their descendants inand around the city of Ameri-cana in the state of Sao Paulo.They routinely display the Con-federate Battle flag, with littleor none of the emotional stigmawe in America correctly asso-ciate with that symbol.
They are, perhaps, the onlycommunity that should feel com-fortable flying that flag. Theynever became U.S. citizens andthey left the country they hadtried to divide to live elsewhere.It is perhaps ironic that theircommunity in largely mixed, and
the racist beliefsof their ances-tors are fortu-nately as dead asthey are. Theyare integratedinto - and helpedform - Brazil,and considerthemselves Bra-zilians. Brazil, aracially diversesociety, neces-
sarily seeks assimilation, notdivision.
What does that say aboutthose that stayed here, sworeallegiance to the United States,but whose descendants (andothers) who insist on flying thebattle flag of the defeated South-ern Confederacy?
Displaying the ConfederateBattle Flag in America dishonorsthe Union Troops who fought anddied to defeat what a majority ofAmericans viewed as a back-ward economic system that de-pended on exploiting other hu-man beings through slavery. Youcan sugar coat that harsh truth,like the Confederates did, bysaying it was all about Heritageand the so-called “Southern Wayof Life.” That idea was put
through a trial by fire, and wasroundly defeated.
I can muster some respect forthose who accepted my ances-tor’s invitation, because theywere men of honor - no matterhow hateful their beliefs. Theywould not swear allegiance to acountry whose values they couldnot accept. So, next time youunfurl your Confederate flag,remember that fact. You are notacting honorably: I am sure youhave taken the Oath of Alle-giance to America more thanonce. Besides acting dishonor-ably, by unfurling that flag, youare reminding people of a lostbattle for a shameful lifestyledependent on slavery that Amer-ica rejects and went to war toroundly defeat. The flag belongsin a museum, where it mighteducate, not on public buildingsor public displays where its onlypurpose can be to try to dividethe United States of America -again.
I for one, say never again.Where do you stand?

coached by Bobby Puppioneand Kim and Rob Scheper; andU14 boys, coached by John Mi-chael Hayden. KHA also sent itsU16 girls, coached by ChrisBlack.
For most of these teams, itwas their first trip to theUSYSNCS. The tournamentproved to be a great learning ex-perience and measuring stick.
“There were many thingsthat were firsts and unknownsfor us. The level of play is sohigh and every game got harderand harder. This is differentthan any other event we hadcompeted in all year,” KHAgirls executive director and U17coach Tiffany Roberts said.“This made the tournament
awesome, as our team had tocontinue to get better every day.They had to make adjustmentsfrom game to game and did anamazing job at making surethey were organized and setthemselves up to compete.”
The younger teams returnhome feeling more confident af-ter their first national champi-onship tournament experience.
“The boys now know not to beintimidated by anyone in thecountry,” said CUP boys direc-tor of coaching Scott Bower .“We can walk into a group withthe two national finalists and aCeltics club that was in the finalfour last year and compete withall three teams without everreally playing our best soccer.”
All the teams, and especiallythe U14 squads, are eager tomake a return trip to the tourna-ment next year. Qualifying willagain be a challenge, but it isone that each squad embraces.
“Going to nationals for thefirst time with this team was agreat experience,” said CUPgirls director of coaching Bob-by Puppione. “It gave our girls ataste of what it is like, and nowwe can return home with a hun-ger to make a repeat trip to theevent next year. It is going totake a lot of hard work, attentionto detail in training, and sacri-fice, but I believe our girls havea good opportunity to make itagain.”
Playing at such a high level
gave these players a mentaledge as they prepare for theirhigh school seasons. The upper-classmen will begin their sea-sons with the sharp focus ofplaying pressure-packed soc-cer on the national stage.
“I hope this experience willallow these girls to continue tobe leaders in their respectivehigh school programs and raisethe bar for soccer in this area,”said Roberts. “This group hasmany great leaders and I thinkeach of their high school pro-grams is fortunate to have eachof them within their programsto help lead and push them for-ward.”
The underclassmen alsohave an edge. Not many highschool freshmen have the kindof experience that the U14 CUPplayers gained last week.
“Our hope is that their highschool coaches now don’t look atthem as just freshmen and putthem on junior varsity squads,”said Bower. “These are the onlyhigh school freshmen in thestate of Ohio with national finalsexperience. This cannot be du-plicated in another environ-ment. Hopefully this helps themget an opportunity right away.After this, it’s up to them to keeptheir job.”

MT. HEALTHY — Head footballcoach Arvie Crouch’s connectionwith the U.S. Marine Corps is aclose one as his son Anthony iscurrently enlisted in the militarybranch.
Last month, the connectiongrew a little stronger when hetook his team to Parris Island, aMarine recruit training facility inSouth Carolina.
“I was there back in Februaryand loved the atmosphere and dis-cipline,” Crouch said. “I got intouch with them and they agreedto let us come down.”
According to Crouch, the Owlsare the first football team to spendtime there. Not only was it a goodexperience for his individual play-ers, it served as a chance to getcloser as a team.
The coach said there weresome guys on the trip who neededto see what it was like to put theirteammates first and to learn howto push through adversity.
“It was 96 degrees outside andthose guys were kicking our
butts,” Crouch said. “There weresituations that some guys tried toweasel out of. The physical partwas tough but so was the mentalpart. These guys had no choice butto overcome that.”
Crouch likes the idea of goingto Parris Island every year, butisn’t sure if continuing to go therewill make the trip lose its effec-

NORTH COLLEGE HILL— Clovernook CountryClub — an elegant, undu-lating golf course built in1923, which sits tuckedneatly off West GalbraithRoad — is where you’llfind Louisa Bergsma, theclub’s general managerwho was hired in 2014.
According to pollingdone by the PGA, Berg-sma is one of only 23female general managersin the country, out of near-ly 1,500 in all.
“Maybe it’s because Igrew up with all boys, butI’ve always kind of lookedat it as ‘what do I want todo’ … it’s (being a woman)never been something tohold me back,” said Berg-sma, who’s worked in thegolf game for 25 years.
She stands 5-foot-1 butshe’s impossible to miss,energetically zippingaround the lush grounds,earnestly talking to every-one as if they’re oldfriends.
Clovernook feels likehome but, actually, it’s anadopted home. Bergsmawas born nearly 8,500miles away in Johannes-burg, South Africa.
Golf’s a funny game. Itcan drive you up a wall,but for Bergsma, it washappenstance how shefound golf and love thatkept her coming back. Ini-tially, Bergsma father, anavid golfer, nudged hisdaughter to give the gamea go.
“(Golf) kind of camenatural to me,” recalledBergsma, who started outplaying competitive ten-nis. “Literally, the firstclub I hit, I was caddyingfor my dad and uncle. Wewere waiting on a par four,for the green to clear and Igrabbed a 3-iron and tothis day it’s the best 3-iron
I’ve ever hit. My dad anduncle’s jaws both droppedand they threw anotherball down (to hit). I canstill remember the parfour to this day.”
Her first swing came at16 years old, and two yearslater she received a golfscholarship at Lamar Uni-versity in Beaumont, Tex-as.
“Living in South Afri-ca, how do you not takethat opportunity?” shesaid, adding, “it was a phe-nomenal experience.”
Bergsma said duringcollege she had a knackfor helping her team-mates with their swings.After graduating, with adegree in business ad-ministration, she attempt-ed Q-school (qualifyingschool for the LPGA tour),but she missed the cut inthe final stage. That’swhen her career began asan assistant golf pro.
As a general manager,her job is to essentiallyoversee everything. Shehas a toe in every depart-ment, but she said she re-

lies on her numerous de-partment heads, her res-ident experts. Being aprivate club, Bergsmasaid their job is to findnew and exciting ways togrow membership. Be-sides golf and tennis,Bergsma said Clover-nook has created a week-ly yoga night, a bookclub, a wine and canvasnight and a culinaryacademy.
“We’re not just a golfclub,” she said. “The bestthing I can do for Clover-nook is to be very open-minded on what we offer(our members).”
Golf paid for her col-lege education, launchedher career and now she’sin a situation where shecan give back to thegame and help othersfind their own passion.
“(Golf) was life-changing for me … Idon’t think I can evergive the game back whatit’s given me,” said Berg-sma, adding “the people”are her favorite part ofthe job. “For me, it’sabout people and rela-tionships. I’m a U.S. citi-zen, a kid from South Af-rica who thought (all of)America was like NewYork. If it wasn’t for golf,I wouldn’t have thatprivilege.”

Of course, the tripsouth wasn’t just one bigbutt-kicking. After a dayof team-building and ob-stacle course chal-lenges, the Owls tookpart in a 7-on-7 tourna-ment in Georgia.
It gave Crouch a brieflook at where his team’sstrengths are and whatneeds to be ironed outbefore the first game of
the season against Syca-more.
“7-on-7s don’t usuallytell you much about yourteam,” Crouch said. “Ican say we are prettyyoung defensively as faras skill positions go. Itwas good to see them un-der fire. They got betterwhile we were downthere. On offense, I washappy with David Mont-gomery and a few otherguys. They have an un-derstanding of what weare trying to do.”

SPRINGFIELD TWP. — LukeKuechly opts to finish what hestarts. It’s far from a new concept,but it’s been invaluable in his 24years.
This offseason, Kuechly, a 2009St. Xavier High School graduatecurrently an NFL All-Pro lineback-er for the Carolina Panthers, put thefinal stamp on his college educationand earned an undergraduate de-gree in business marketing.
Kuechly’s collegiate educationwent unfinished when the two-timeAll-American from Boston Collegedeclared for the NFL Draft after be-coming eligible after his junior sea-son in 2012. Hindsight declared it asolid decision; he was selected ninthoverall in the draft, led the NFL intackles his rookie season, won theNFL Defensive Rookie of the Yearaward and in his sophomore season,in 2013, Kuechly became the young-est ever to be named DefensivePlayer of the Year.
“I didn’t make up my mind; mymom did,” said Kuechly, who need-ed to complete eight courses in or-der to graduate. “She said: ‘If you’releaving (Boston College) you’re go-ing back to school (and finishing).’That was kind of how it went, there
wasn’t a whole lot of discussion. Mymom, dad and I agreed that school’svery important.”
Kuechly said following his roo-kie season, he returned to BostonCollege in the offseason for one se-mester.
“They (Boston College) said (Icould) come back for one semester,take five classes and (then) I couldtake the remaining classes online,”said Kuechly.
After his second year, he tooktwo online courses. One was an eco-nomics class through Regis Univer-sity, the other a history course byway of Louisiana State University.His final class, in the most recentoffseason, was a strategy and policycourse online with a Boston College
professor. “I would Skype the teacher at
Boston College and it was like aclassroom session. He would askquestions and we would have dis-cussions,” Kuechly explained.“Each week I had to turn in a paper.That went on for 4-5 weeks. It tookme about three years to finish thoseeight classes.”
Kuechly said it was “comfort-ing” to finish his education.
“I left some stuff unfinished andit was kind of hanging over my headthese (last) three years,” he said. “Iknew in the offseason I was alwayslooking at a class or two. Now, this(coming) offseason I don’t have toworry about it. I’m finished and Iworked hard to get it.”
Ohio can stake a claim as thereigning hotbed of high school la-crosse in America.
Team Ohio, coached by MoellerHigh School head coach SeanMcGinnis, won the 2015 Brine All-American Lacrosse National Clas-sic on July 2 in Midlothian, Virginia.
The victory capped a momen-tous year for southwest Ohio boyslacrosse. Mariemont won the 2014Division II state title and nearly re-peated this year. St. Xavier won theDivision I title earlier this year.
The Team Ohio championshiproster, comprised of rising highschool juniors and seniors, included12 southwest Ohio student-athletes.Another eight locals played forOhio’s team of rising sophomores,while 10 locals played on the junior-senior girls team.
“It was truly an honor to coachthe many southern Ohio players onthis team,” said McGinnis. “South-ern Ohio lacrosse is always chasingthe powerhouse programs of centralOhio. With the St. X state title winand now this, southern Ohio lacrosseand its players are starting to get therecognition they deserve.”
Team Ohio rallied to come frombehind to defeat Florida in the semi-finals, 6-5. Moeller’s Jack Richey de-livered the game-winner to sendOhio to the final against New Eng-land. Loveland’s Marshal Amon andSt. Xavier’s Alex Deters combinedto allow just two goals en route toOhio’s 6-2 victory.
The underdogs from the Midwestshowed that they can hang with anyteam from the east coast.
“Our players entered the tourna-ment knowing that they were a col-lection of talented players fromaround the state and if they came to-gether quickly as a team, they wouldbe pretty successful,” said McGin-nis. “This was a great opportunityfor these players to show the otherstate teams who participated in this
event that kids can play a high levelof lacrosse in the Midwest. It was agreat opportunity as well for theseplayers to play in front of collegecoaches and showcase their talents.”
Team Ohio went undefeated inpool play and the tournament, allow-ing just 25 goals in seven contests.
They heard what other teamssaid about the often-overlookedsquad. Walking out to their firstmatch against Virginia, Team Ohioheard rumblings from other oppo-nents in the crowd. “It’s just Ohio”became a rallying cry. Next year,those teams will not make the samemistake of shortchanging Ohio’s la-crosse talent.
“Our kids didn’t need any moremotivation after that comment,”said McGinnis. “It was pretty neat tokeep that tone for the tournament aswe kept winning.”
Last year, Team Ohio only won agame or two in the Brine Classic,said Deters. He did not enter thisyear’s tournament expecting to winit all, but quickly realized that thisteam was capable of achieving morethan it did a year ago. Team Ohioplayed with a chip on its shoulder
this time around.“As we played a couple games
and began hitting our stride, Ithought we had a chance to do some-thing special,” he said. “I think thatthis may finally give not just south-west Ohio, but all of the Midwestcredibility as a force to be contendedwith in the future. As a region, weare finally garnering some respect.”
Deters began playing in fifthgrade. Team Ohio teammate LucasKlever, a rising junior at Moeller,was introduced to the sport in fourthgrade.
Both have seen the sport boom inthis area over the past few years.The in-season rivals bonded quickly,which they felt gave them an edgeover their other regional opponents.
The next step for Team Ohio willbe representing American highschool lacrosse against an all-starteam from Canada in January’sBrogden Cup. The three-game se-ries will be played Jan. 2-4 in Tampa.Ohio asserted itself as a nationalpower and now hopes to show that itcan be an international force. Ohiolacrosse players will no longer be pe-rennial underdogs.

The Freestore Food-bank works to providemore than 20 millionmeals each year to hungrychildren and families in20 counties in Ohio, Ken-tucky and Indiana.
One of the ways theFreestore Foodbank isable to continue to servethe community is throughits annual Rubber DuckRegatta. In its 21st year,the event is the FreestoreFoodbank’s largest fund-raiser.
This year marks West-wood resident Mark Bod-nar’s fourth year on theRubber Duck Regattasteering committee. Bod-nar is a financial profes-sional with AXA Advisorsand was a colleague ofRubber Duck Regattafounder Bob Edwards.

But many arefinding hope in an un-likely place: behind thewood and strings of anacoustic guitar. Week-ly guitar lessons pro-vided by volunteers atthe Cincinnati VA Med-ical Center are de-signed to help studentslearn at their own pace.After completing 10weeks of lessons, grad-uates are presented
with their very ownacoustic guitar. Fromthere, weekly group ses-sions provide Veterans acommunal atmosphereto talk and continue toplay music with peerswho have shared similarexperiences.
Between June 1 and30, the public is encour-aged to donate to Guitarsfor Vets online or at SamAsh Music Stores, 11805Commons Drive inSpringdale,. For $1,names can be added to adonation wall of symbol-ic guitar picks at SamAsh. The store will alsocollect used guitars and

Maple Knoll Commu-nities has received $10million in tax credits torenovate a senior hous-ing community on itsSpringdale campus.
The Meadows, whichserves limited incomeseniors, will be fundedthrough tax creditsfrom the Ohio HousingFinance Agency for up-dates that will increasesafety and make the149-unit communitymore energy efficient.
Maple Knoll has part-nered with EpiscopalRetirement Homes(ERH), which owns, op-erates or is developing25 affordable housingcommunities acrossOhio, Kentucky and In-diana, to receive the taxcredits.
“Residents are anx-iously awaiting for con-struction to begin onwhat is a necessary andneeded improvement tothe living accommoda-tions that currently ex-ist,” Maple Knoll Presi-dent and CEO Jim For-mal said of the projectthat will begin in thespring.
Residents will be
temporarily moved toother units on the MapleKnoll campus whiletheir apartments arerenovated. MeganGresham Ulrich, MapleKnoll’s direct of corpo-rate communications,said the renovationswill take place in groupsof 40 and each set is ex-pected to take three tofour months.
“These renovationswill allow the olderadults we serve to safe-ly age in their homeswith updated security,handicap accessible ac-commodations, storage,functional commonspaces and more,” For-mal said.
Built in 1977, theunits include studiokitchens because at thattime, residents were of-fered a meal plan. To-day, they are responsi-ble for their own meals,so the kitchens will beupdated.
“There is a lot ofspace that’s not reallyfunctional,” Ulrich saidof the buildings. “We’remaking everythinghandicapped accessi-ble, with walk-in show-ers and safety bars.
“And we’re going torenovate the commonareas for group gather-
ings.“It’s going to be an
eco-friendly buildingwith energy efficien-cy,” she said, addingthat the renovationswill include updates tothe buildings’ elevatorsand security.
During the renova-tions, Maple Knoll willcontinue to provide ser-vices including 24-hoursecurity, transporta-tion to shopping, activ-ities and wellness ser-vices for residents.
“(Episcopal Retire-ment Homes) also willensure the long-term fi-nancial viability of theproperties by offeringthe guarantees neededto secure the tax creditsand additional financ-ing it will need to com-plete the project,” Ma-ple Knoll said in a state-ment.
“We are excited towork on this projectwith another not-for-profit organization thatserves seniors in theCincinnati area,” KathyIson-Lind, EHR’s VicePresident of AffordableHousing and In-HomeServices said in thestatement. “MapleKnoll Village is a won-derful organization andwe are proud to bringour expertise in the de-velopment of afford-able senior housing tothe table.”
Renovations to 149 units at The Meadows on the Maple Knoll campus will begin in the spring.

Sharon Christopher-son said, from year toyear, there is no tellingwhich artists will takehome prizes in the ArtShow at the HarvestHome Fair.
Sometimes a young, in-experienced artist willwalk away with the firstprize, while other years aprofessional artist willearn the judge’s topmarks.
“You just never know,”she said. “That’s part of
the fun and thrill of theArt Show.”
The 156th annual Har-vest Home Fair presentedby the Kiwanis Club ofCheviot-Westwood is justaround the corner, andChristopherson, whoserves as co-chair of thefair’s Art Show, said orga-nizers of the show areseeking artists interestedin submitting their works.
“There are so many tal-ented artists in our area,”she said. “We love to getnew and different artistseach year, in addition tothe artists who regularly
participate. We enjoy dis-playing people’s art andthe more we get the moreinteresting the show is.”
Artists 17-years-oldand up are invited to sub-mit paintings and draw-ings. The show featuresthree categories – oil/acrylic, watercolor andother media. Cash prizesare awarded to the first-,second- and third-placewinners in each category.

Christopherson saidthis year’s Art Show willbe on display at the fairfrom Friday, Sept. 11,through Sunday, Sept. 13.

In her 10th year as co-chair of the Art Show,Christopherson said sheenjoys the perk of walk-ing through the show withthe judges and hearingtheir perspectives on thedifferent works.
“I love walkingthrough and seeing thetechnical ability of theartists,” she said, notingeach year there are typi-cally 80 to 100 artists whosubmit works.
“It’s so much fun to seefamiliar artists and eachyear see how they havegrown in their artwork.It’s always a great show.”
