Since four people – at least three of whom will be newcom- ers - will be elected Nov. 3, the current city council decided to delay the search for a successor to Jeff Wright until the newly elected council members are on board. Wright resigned after four years as Milford city manager to become Miami Township admin- istrator Aug. 31; Pam Holbrook is serving as interim Milford city manager. The five people for Milford City Council are incumbent Councilman Ed Brady and chal- lengers Justin A. Bonnell, Mar- garet Giuffre, Ted Haskins and Sandy Russell. City council incumbents Charlene Hinners, Jeff Lykins and Geoff Pittman are not seek- ing re-election. Lykins resigned Aug. 19, citing differences with Mayor Laurie Howland and Council- woman Amy Brewer. Howland and Brewer aren’t going anywhere. Winners in the Nov. 3 elec- tions will begin their four-year terms on Milford City Council next year by joining Howland, Brewer and Vice Mayor Lisa Evans, whose terms run through December 2017.

COLLECTION TIME GOSHEN TOWNSHIP Pohlman Pharmacy, one of Go- shen Township’s oldest busi- nesses, closed its doors for the last time Oct. 21after more than 40 years in business. For generations of loyal cus- tomers, the closing of the little drugstore with a sign reminis- cent of the 1950s marked the end of an era. Throughout the U.S., national chains are rapid- ly replacing independent drug- stores in small towns and rural communities. “Independent pharmacies are a dying breed,” said Pohl- man’s pharmacy technician Percy Guevremont of Goshen. “Here, customers are a name, not a number.” With Pohlman’s closure, pharmacist Joseph McAuliffe, who bought the business 33 years ago, says he’s hoping to slow down a little from the 12- hour days he’s worked the past 18 to 20 years. At 71, McAuliffe, a widower who was the sole pharmacist at Pohlman’s for the past couple decades, plans to travel and spend more time with his seven grandchildren. “Lately, the hours were get- ting to be too much,” he said. “My legs were starting to give out. And I wanted to have a life.” Prescriptions from Pohlman Pharmacy will be transferred to the Walgreen’s drugstore at the southwest corner of Wood- ville Pike and Ohio 28. For the next couple of months at least, McAuliffe will be behind the prescription counter at Wal- green’s filling them on what for him is a part-time schedule, 30 to 40 hours a week. “I’ll be working (at Wal- green’s) until the end of the year for sure, then I’ll start slowing down,” said McAuliffe, a Hoosier native who now calls Anderson Township home. “The computer will be down there and I’ll be down there, so it should be a smooth transition. I’m going to make sure my cus- tomers are taken care of.” During Pohlman’s final days in operation, customers stopped by to exchange hugs and handshakes with McAu- liffe and reminisce about the service he’d provided to the community. “This is the only pharmacy my family ever had,” said 86- year-old Patricia Sumpter of Milford. “I’ll miss Joe because I really trust him. But I guess ev- erything has to change.” Tina Fowler has patronized Pohlman’s for 10 years. “When you’re a customer here, Joe becomes a part of your family,” the 49-year-old Goshen resident said. “There’s no time that I don’t walk in here that he doesn’t greet me by name. He does it with every- body. He’s amazing. It’ll be sad to see him go.” Goshen native Angel Gros- nickle developed Crohn’s Dis- ease as a teenager, and the 53- year-old has battled cancer three times. In describing McAuliffe, she uses superla- tives such as “the best pharma- cist in the world.” “I’ll really miss Joe,” Gros- nickle said, as she offered her long-time pharmacist a fare- well hug. “I’ve had 17 major sur- geries, and he’s saved my life every time.” When Pohlman’s opened in 1971, the pharmacy was across Ohio 28 on what is now the Kroger property. As a child, Goshen resident Erwin Walker recalls riding his bike to Pohlman’s to buy birth- day cards and cassette tapes. On Sept. 1, 1982, McAuliffe, a graduate of the University of Cincinnati’s pharmacy school, purchased the business from Charlie Pohlman. By then, it had moved to its final location at the intersection at Ohio 28 and 132. In the early years, McAulif- fe,who had gotten his start working as pharmacies in Indi- ana, had another pharmacist working with him at Pohlman’s. However, for the last couple of decades, he’s been the sole pharmacist. When Pohlman’s closed, it had a support staff of four full-time employees. With Pohlman’s closure, the nostalgic ‘drugs’ sign out front with the chasing lights that were grandfathered in by coun- ty ordinance years ago, will go to the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati’s Camp Washing- ton neighborhood. The future of the building McAuliffe leased for decades is unknown. One long-time Pohlman’s customer who’s since moved to Florida, expressed the senti- ments of many when he recent- ly posted on Facebook: “I moved away many many years ago, but that building will al- ways be part of Goshen..(.I’m) sad it’s closing.” Want to know what’s hap- pening in Goshen Township?

COLLECTION TIME

GOSHEN TOWNSHIP –Pohlman Pharmacy, one of Go-shen Township’s oldest busi-nesses, closed its doors for thelast time Oct. 21after more than40 years in business.

For generations of loyal cus-tomers, the closing of the littledrugstore with a sign reminis-cent of the 1950s marked theend of an era. Throughout theU.S., national chains are rapid-ly replacing independent drug-stores in small towns and ruralcommunities.

“Independent pharmaciesare a dying breed,” said Pohl-man’s pharmacy technicianPercy Guevremont of Goshen.“Here, customers are a name,not a number.”

GOSHEN TOWNSHIP– Transparency in localgovernment and publicsafety and recreationalneeds are just a few ofthe issues in a race forGoshen Township trusteethat’s been marked bynegativity, especially onsocial media.

On Nov. 3, Claire Cor-coran, a 15-year residentwho is seeking her sec-ond term as GoshenTownship trustee, faceschallenges from formertrustee and life-longGoshen resident BobHausermann and Goshennative Steve Holland,who previously servedon the Goshen ZoningCommission. The winnerwill serve a four-yearterm starting in January.

In another local race,Goshen Township voterswill choose a new fiscalofficer, as Cheryl All-geyer, who was hired lastyear after former Fiscal

Officer Lisa Allen waselected to the board oftrustees, is not running.Candidates for the jobare Cathy Carlier, Britta-ny Koepke and Art Trei-nen. The winner willserve a four-year termstarting April 1.

While the race forfiscal officer has beenrelatively quiet, the cam-paign for township trus-tee, especially betweenCorcoran and Hauser-mann, has been bitter,with supporters of bothmaking social mediaposts of what each camphas called threats, liesand/or derogatory com-ments about the candi-date or the candidate’ssupporters.

Some ofthat bitter-ness hasspilledover torecenttrusteemeetings,with bothsides con-

tinuing to debate issuesin the parking lot after-ward. There’s also been acall from some in thecommunity to changehow the public partici-pates in Goshen Town-ship’s government.

Hausermann says“lack of transparencywithin the current gov-ernment and lack ofconductivity between theresidents and the currentadministration” areamong the most impor-tant issues facing thetownship.

When trustees comeout of an executive ses-sion, Holland said mem-bers of the communityshould have a say onwhat was discussed be-

fore a final decision ismade.

In the late 1980sthrough 1995, Hollandsaid individuals wereallowed to address trust-ees for two minutes in-stead of the current five.

“But now you havepeople (at townshipmeetings) yelling andscreaming and cussing,”Holland said. “We needto keep the process morecivil and keep peoplefrom going off on a tan-gent.”

After recent requestsfor change in the town-ship’s community forumpolicy, Goshen Townshiptrustees are reviewingthe policy that regulateswhen and how long thepublic is allowed tospeak at township trus-tee meetings, as well astopics to be addressed.The township also re-cently unveiled a newwebsite that allows thepublic to share its opin-ions about township top-ics via an “action line”

after residents com-plained the old websitewas outdated, hard tonavigate and lackedbasic information.

Critics say thechanges were made onlyafter the public com-plained. But Corcoran,who says she’s in thetrustee’s office “almostevery single day,” in-cluding weekends, andshares her cell numberwith the public, saystransparency only be-came an issue as theelection neared.

“If elected, my visionwould be to encouragemore community in-volvement,” Hauser-mann said. “In order todo that, I would proposea meeting devoted tocommunity forum, and tothe education of the peo-ple of Goshen Townshipon how the governmentworks.”

In July, trustees cameunder fire when theboard voted 2 to 1, withCorcoran voting with the

majority, against puttinga park levy on the Nov. 3ballot. Corcoran said atthe time that she sup-ports recreation, but sheworried that putting apark levy on the ballotthis fall would jeopardizefuture attempts to pass amuch-needed police levy.She also said there areseveral issues on theNov. 3 ballot, whichwould lessen the chancesof any Goshen levy pass-ing this year.

Hausermann said hesupports the develop-ment of Kathryn Stagge-Marr Park.

“I believe that weneed a strong fire de-partment, a strong policedepartment and a strongservice department,”Holland said. “Then wecan worry about extraslike a park.”

OCTOBER 28, 2015 • CJN-MMA • 5ANEWS

This still boggles my mind: Halloween is second onlyto Christmas as the most decorated holi-day. Not so when I was a kid. The housewasn’t decorated, and the eight girls in ourfamily were either witches or gypsies. Mybrother, Charlie, the last born, was alwaysa hobo. We used whatever we could find todress up and we left at dark, by ourselves,and came home with grocery paper bagsfull of treats.

Fast forward to Halloween 2015. Even ifparental rules are stricter, Halloween isstill so much fun! Here are last-minuterecipes for a ghoulishly good Halloween.

Homemade microwave popcornCheck out my Abouteating.com site. You won’t believe

how easy and inexpensive, not to mention healthy andamazingly tender it is. (Hint: 1/2 cup unpopped cornmakes a generous 8 cups, but there’s a secret technique!)

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator, Jungle Jim’s East-gate culinary professional and author. Find her blog atAbouteating.com. Email her at [email protected] with“Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line. Call 513-248-7130, ext. 356.

Homemade Halloween treats kids can help make‘Glowing’ swamp punch

Let the kids help. They love the creepycrawler ice ring.

1 cup boiling water2 packages, 4-serving size each, lime

gelatin3 cups cold water1-1/2 quarts carbonated lemon-lime

soda, chilled

Pour boiling water over gelatin and stiruntil dissolved. Stir in cold water. Pour intopunch bowl. Stir in soda, making mixturefizz.

Unmold ice ring by dipping bottom ofmold briefly into hot water. Float in punch.Serve cups garnished with gummy worms.

Creepy crawler ice ring1 cup gummyworms or other creepy crawler gummies

1 quart lemon-lime sports drink likeGatorade

Arrange gummy worms in bottom of5-cup ring mold; fill with Gatorade. Freezeuntil solid.

Black cat cookie pops

Again, let the kids help. Don’t worry iftheir cookies look like something other thancats. It’s about creativity and fun, not perfec-tion.

1 cup creamy peanut butter1/3 cup water2 eggs1 box chocolate cake mixPopsicle sticksSugarCandy corn, red hots

Preheat oven to 350. Beat peanutbutter with water and eggs. Add cake mixand mix. Form into 1-1/2” balls and place onsprayed cookie sheet. Push in a popsiclestick. Flatten with bottom of glass dipped insugar. Pinch two “ears” at top of cookie.Press fork into dough to form whiskers oneither side of nose. Bake 10-12 minutes.Remove from oven and immediately addcandy corn eyes and red-hot nose, pushingin gently. If they happen to fall off after theycool, glue them on with a little powderedsugar glaze or canned frosting. Makes 2-3dozen

My best caramel corn

This makes a lot so feel free to divide in half. Adding dried fruitelevates this to a new dimension.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

15-16 cups or so of popped cornAbout 3 cups salted mixed nuts2 sticks or butter2 cups brown sugar1/2 cup light corn syrup1/2 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon vanilla1/2 teaspoon baking soda2 cups dried cranberries, cherries or apricots (opt)

To avoid sticking, use vegetable spray to coat both inside oflarge bowl, cookie sheets and spoons that you will use. Put popcornand nuts in bowl. Set aside. Over medium heat in a large pan, bringto a boil everything but the soda. Boil 5 minutes. Add baking sodaand stir. Mixture will foam up. Immediately pour over popcorn mix-ture, stirring well to coat. Pour in a single layer onto sprayed cookiesheets. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to distribute coating.Let cool for coating to harden; add fruit, and store at room temper-ature in covered containers. Makes about 20 cups.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenAfter popping corn, place in colander or bowl and scoop up

popcorn gently with hands. Any unpopped corn will lie in bottom ofbowl.

A publication of

What does theZoontjens family ofThe Nether-lands have

in common with PaulScott of Mulberry?

At first glance, itwould seem not much.They lived in differentcountries. They nevermet. They were sep-arated in time by 70years. The bond, how-ever, is deep and abid-ing.

Paul was born in 1921 andgrew up in Mulberry. He at-tended Milford schools. Heenlisted in the U.S. Army AirCorps several months aftergraduating from Terrace ParkHigh School. Paul trained as aradio operator and waist gun-ner on a bomber. After traininghe was assigned to the 453rdBomber Squadron of the 8thU.S. Air Force based in Essex,England.

On March 26, 1944, Sgt.

Scott and five other crew mem-bers boarded the “Toid Boid,” a

B26C Marauder, for abombing run over Hol-land. As it approachedits target at 2:44 in theafternoon, it came un-der heavy enemy anti-aircraft artillery fire.The “Toid Boid” openedits bomb bay doors.Before it could drop itsload, an artillery shellstruck the plane. Flamesstreamed from its wings

to its tail. It spiraled steeplydown - crashing into the sanddunes near Ijmuiden, Holland.There were no survivors.

Roger Zoontjens’ grandfa-ther told him stories about thedark days of the Nazi occupa-tion - stories Roger has neverforgotten. Seventy-five per-cent of Holland’s Jews, in-cluding Anne Frank, weremurdered in Nazi death camps.Hundreds of thousands ofmore Dutch citizens were

forced to labor in German warfactories.

Roger and his family wereimpressed by the level ofAmerican commitment to theliberation of Europe after vis-iting the American MilitaryCemetery at Normandy. Thefamily decided that they want-ed to show their gratitude tothe fallen Americans who diedfor their liberty 70 years ago.They filed an application to“adopt a grave” at the Margra-ten Cemetery in Limburg, TheNetherlands.

Originally, the cemeterycontained the graves of 18,764American service members.Today 8,301 graves remainafter repatriation. The “Adopt-a-grave” program developedspontaneously in 1945 whenlocals began decorating themarble crosses and stars ofDavid with flowers on Memori-al Day. In 2005, President Bushvisited Margraten to commem-orate the liberation of Europe.

He asked the Dutch to keep theshared experiences of the waralive for future generations.The Dutch agreed to continuethe tradition of honoring their“Liberators” and to “reinvestin peace every day.”

Roger, Patricia and Joepwere shocked to learn thatthere was a six month waitinglist to adopt their grave. Theywere thrilled when Sgt. Scottwas assigned to them. Theyhave decorated his grave, col-lected information, andreached out to the Scott family.Mary Scott, Paul’s 97-year-oldsister-in-law and 1936 Milfordgraduate, was very surprisedwhen the Zoontjens contactedher and is very grateful forwhat they have done.

We sometimes undervalueour veteran’s contributions. Itis reassuring that the Dutchpeople have remembered andcontinue to honor the sacri-fices of Americans who diedliberating their country.

Thank you Roger, Patriciaand Joep.

Oct. 22 questionWho-dey? How far will the

Bengals go this year?

“Super Bowl 50 champs.” D.H.

“The Bengals will go fartherthan the Reds did, but thenagain, how hard can that be?They are playing well and win-ning consistently – Yay! Now, ifthey can keep the injuries to aminimum we might just havesomething in this team. Sincethey are playing so well and sell-ing many seats, can we renego-tiate the asinine deal our stupidcity leaders agreed to with Mr.Brown? It is beyond ridiculousfor this city with its level of fi-nancial woes to have to pay so

much to keep a team here thatgives darned near nothing back.I want to have pride in this teamand I do, but that pride gets verymuddled when thinking abouthow thoroughly Brown takesthe city to the cleaners year af-ter year after year.”

M.J.F.

“The Bengals are an excitingteam with many great playerson offense and defense. Barringmajor injuries (like last year)they are playoff bound. It wouldbe great if they can get a firstround bye in the playoffs alongwith home field advantage. Butthe New England Patriots standin their way. The wish here issomeone can knock of New Eng-land prior to the Bengals havingto face them in the playoffs.That might just propel the Ben-gals to the Super Bowl ala the1981 and 1988 seasons. Likethose two years the Bengals areloaded with many class act play-ers. Go Figure!”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONShould college education befree? Why or why not?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers [email protected] withCh@troom in the subject line.

One of the most heartbreak-ing life experiences is when aloved one realizes that theperson who raised, nurtured,loved and assisted you througheverything from helping withyour homework, nursing youwhen you were ill tobeing the confidantewith whom youshared your deepestconcerns and joys, isnow unable to remem-ber that you visitedthat day, the joys ofbeing a grandparentor even your face oryour name.

Alzheimer’s dis-ease is a gut-wrench-ing reality for manysons, daughters, sisters, broth-ers, nieces, nephews and dearfriends.

As a caregiver, you mayfind yourself growing impa-tient with that person’s forget-fulness, trouble taking care ofsimple things, such as personalhygiene and getting dressed.Since Alzheimer’s varies fromperson to person, and it canprogress faster in some thanothers, it is important to knowas much as you can about thedisease.

Making a person’s homeenvironment safe is critical foryour loved one’s health andyour peace of mind. The Na-tional Institute on Healthshares several tips designed tokeep the person with AD safe

at home. First, take time tosimplify the home. Too muchfurniture and clutter can makeit difficult to move freely. Besure that you have a sturdyhandrail on any stairway andsecure throw rugs or carpet on

stairs with safety gripstrips to hold them inplace. Experts also ad-vise that people with ADare able to read until thelate stage of the disease.Use signs with simplewritten instructions toremind them of dangeror show them where togo.

Next, lower thechances for slips andfalls by making sure the

person with Alzheimer’s hasgood floor traction for walkingor pacing. Three factors affecttraction: 1) The type of floorsurface. A smooth or waxedlinoleum, tile or hardwoodfloor can be slippery; 2) Spills.Even the smallest amount ofliquid should be cleaned upimmediately, and 3) Shoes. Besure shoes and slippers havegood traction. Check for thetype of material and tread.

If the person is living wheremedications are not monitored,be sure that all prescriptionand over-the-counter medi-cines are locked up or re-moved, especially outdatedones. Be sure that the person’smedications are in day packsso that you can easily tell if the

person has taken the medica-tion or if too much is missing.Keep all cleaning products orother hazardous materialslocked up or removed. Be sureto keep the National PoisonControl Center toll-free num-ber posted - 1-800-222-2225 - ina location that anyone can see.Always keep all guns, otherweapons, scissors and kniveslocked up or removed, as wellas gasoline cans and otherdangerous items.

Generally, Alzheimer’stakes many years to developfrom its onset. And, as thedisease worsens, when peopleneed the level of care thatnecessitates some of the aboveactions, they need nearly fullor total care. Always work witha physician to know what levelof care is important for yourloved one’s safety - and yours.

Alzheimer’s safety tips help alleviate frustrations

By the time this makes theelectronic and printversions of the Com-munity Press, publicschools will havebegun or will be closeto starting. Prep-arations for theschool year bring lotsof excitement and afew worries too.

Like several otherorganizations in thearea, our church(Mount WashingtonPresbyterian) does abackpack ministry.We load hundreds of back-packs for children in the areaso that preparations of ma-terials can have them ready tolearn rather than worryingabout one more financial/logistical issue. There are somany handy items in thebackpacks that our preciousschool children will need:tissues, pencils, pens, note-books, etc..

What’s needed in yourbackpack as you embark onthe next adventures in life?Just like the lists the schoolsprovide for back-to-school, itseems like we should havesuch a list for ourselves. So-…here’s the start to my list:

» Handkerchief – to cap-ture sweat and tears (hopeful-ly not blood!) shed by me andothers;

» Coffee cup – without it(filled with a warm caffeinat-ed beverage in the morning)let’s just say that the day is alittle less bright;

» “Smart” phone – it hasmany nice features, includingthe camera for recording

images for sharing plus re-minding me of whatcaptured my attentionduring the day, forfuture reference;

» Spiral notebookand writing implement– for easily scrawlingto-do list items, greatideas shared by othersand “aha” moments;

» A smile – whatan easy, friendly re-sponse to seeing an-other? (Mother Teresasaid “Peace beginswith a smile”);

» Laughter – without it, theday just doesn’t seem right(here’s a website to help bringsome smiles and laughter:http://www.stevelong.long-memories.info/humor )

By assuring our backpacksare filled with the right items,we certainly increase thechances for a great start tothe adventures ahead. Ifyou’re missing some key in-gredients, I hope you’ll beseeking out the assistance ofthose in your community, justas our churches and otherorganizations are helpingprepare school children thisseason.

Enjoy the day…and thememories!

Last weekend, Milford’s girls waterpolo team battled through its youth andits competition to finish in the top half ofthe state’s 10 best teams.

The Eagles defeated Mason 10-9 indouble overtime to finish in fifth place.The Comets finished sixth overall.

Milford held a 7-6 lead with 32 sec-onds remaining in the fourth periodwhen Mason called a timeout. After therestart, the timekeeper didn't start the

clock.Amidst the consternation, the Com-

ets scored to tie the game.In the extra periods, the Eagles hung

on to secure the victory.“Table errors happen in any big

match,” Milford head coach KevinMetzger said. “All we can do when thathappens is adapt, come back and winlike we did. At the beginning of the year,we thought we had a really, really youngteam. From day one, they kept growingand figuring each other out. I couldn'thave asked for a better turnout. We kept

up with some of the top teams in thestate.”

Milford loses five seniors, includingtwo captains, for next season. A largegroup, including Skyler Fontaine andkeeper Emily Noll, returns.

“The state experience itself is goodfor some of these girls,” the coach said.“A lot of the girls on the team are young-er ... It’s real beneficial for those sopho-mores and juniors to get this experienceso they can see what the state tourna-ment is like and apply that when theycome back next year and play.”

MILFORD — Things looked goodfor Milford cross country senior A.J.Erdaty.

Fresh off a first-place finish atthe Eastern Cincinnati Conferencechampionship meet Oct. 17, he hadthe regional on his mind. However,what was imagined didn’t translateinto action.

He finished 22nd in the Division Idistrict race at Voice of AmericaPark Oct. 24, 12 seconds away fromthe runner in 16th, the last spot forindividual qualification.

“Everything was rolling,” coachDave Ackerman said. “With the waythings had been going, he probablythought he was going to finish some-where in the top-10. What he mental-ly prepared for didn’t play out. Hedid not have a good race.”

According to Ackerman, Erdatylikely wasn’t thinking he’d have asmany guys close to him at the mile-and-a-half mark as he did.

Also seeing Anderson’s NickStone, who he beat in the conferencemeet, pass him didn’t help either.

“When you see that as a runner,you start to panic,” Ackerman said.“After it happened, A.J. just faded.In the postseason, you can’t have anyoff days.”

Aside from the disappointingrace, Erdaty did have a good season.Along with the aforementioned con-ference championship, he picked upthe win at the Ross Invite, where heclocked the conference’s second-fastest time during the regular sea-son.

“You could count on him to benear the front,” the coach said. “Thecloser we packed to him, the betterwe did as a team.”

Members of the General Assem-

bly clearly voiced their support for

a smoke-free Kentucky bill for the

2015 session last week that mirrors

previously failed legislation in 2014.

Denouncing the argument that a

smoke-free bill prohibiting smoking

in public places would kill business,

Brent Cooper, a business owner

from northern Kentucky, said not

only are businesses prospering

across the Ohio River in Cincinnati

with a smoke-free law, but that the

pubs in Ireland haven’t shut down

since the country put a ban on

smoking in the workplace 10 years

ago.Many legislators conferred that

public smoking was indefensible in

Kentucky given the state’s bad

health ratings compared to other

states throughout the U.S.

According to testimony from

Wayne Meriwether, CEO of Twin

Lakes Regional Medical Center,

second-hand smoke is just as dan-

gerous for those that don’t smoke.

MT. WASHINGTON – Last year,McNicholas quarterback Luke Sulkenset a high bar for current starter Cam-eron Haynes, accumulating better than2,000 all-purpose yards and amassing23 touchdowns.

Coach Mike Orlando, and Haynes,hoped he would at least match Sulken’sperformance if not exceed it. In theearly stages, Haynes struggled withtwo touchdowns and three intercep-tions.

“Honestly, it was probably unfair forus to think he was going to come out andmatch Luke’s production,” Orlandosaid. “Luke primarily did stuff with hislegs and Cam just has a different skill-set. It took some time. He’d show signs,then he’d regress. But right now, he’s

playing his best football.”As soon as the Rockets hit the con-

ference schedule, Haynes started toimprove. Haynes credits the turn-around to putting extra time in the filmroom and with coaches.

Against Purcell Marian, he tossedthree touchdowns against one intercep-tion. Against Chaminade- Julienne, hecompleted all but two of his passes.

Against Alter, Haynes threw for 428yards and three touchdowns.

“He needed a game like that and de-served a game like that,” Orlando said.“Even though it came in a loss, it doesn’tdiminish the fact he progressed.”

Cole Carmosino, one of Haynes’ fa-vorite targets in that game, hauled inseven passes for 197 yards and twoscores. Running back Adam Hisch add-ed 125 receiving yards of his own.

As of Oct. 23, Haynes led the Greater

Catholic League-Coed in passing with1,661 yards.

“These past few weeks, the offensehas clicked,” Haynes said. “We’ve beenplaying pretty well. It was just a slowstart.”

Time and again, Orlando has said theteam relies heavily on its defense. Nowthat it appears its offense has caughtup, McNicholas can still be a factorwithin the GCL-Coed Central race – afact Haynes said doesn’t apply any ex-tra pressure. He feels they will go outand execute.

“In the GCL we learned the hardway that you can’t take any game forgranted,” the coach said. “There aresome things still out there for us. Theplayoffs are pretty much gone, but wedo have a shot to win our fourth GCL ti-tle in a row, which no one at McNick hasdone before.”

Like many sports, youth soccer has be-come increasingly competitive and special-ized. Unfortunately, that has also meantthat the sport has become more expensiveand selective.

A new youth soccer program in Cincin-nati hopes to reintroduce fun and opportu-nity while developing skills and fundamen-tals.

Ohio United FC kicked off its inauguralseason in 2015. Led by local soccer veteranJeff Anderson, the club’s main focus is onaccessibility and instruction.

“Success should not be measured by thewins and losses, but instead should be mea-sured by the growth, development, andoverall experience that each individualplayer received,” said Anderson. “My pas-sion is to offer all players the opportunitiesthat I received during my youth experienceand offer it to them at a cost that is as afford-able today as it was when I was young.”

Anderson played for Northern KentuckyUniversity and for the Cincinnati Saints. Hespent 15 years as the director of coachingfor Kolping SC. He felt inspired to create anew program that would be open to anyyoung boy or girl who wanted to learn howto play the beautiful game. There will beless emphasis on the business of youth soc-cer and more of an emphasis on individualtraining.

“My vision is to build a program in theCincinnati area that brings youth soccerback to its roots, from being less of a busi-ness and more about the players,” said An-derson, “a youth soccer club that will acceptany and all types of players, coaches, teamsand even recreational programs to join.They all will receive the training and the ex-perience that is offered by all the otherclubs, but at an affordable cost.”

Ohio United FC offers a free “Tiny Shots”program for players ages three throughseven. Older players can register for cer-tain teams for as little as $20 per season.The club is open to players age 3-19.
