Aligned with Seton’smission, she said this year’scourse focused on socialentrepreneurship and Setonpartnered with the Univer-sity of Cincinnati’s Econom-ics Center for assistancewith the program.

“It was a good experi-

ence for our students,”Hollenbach said. “Throughthis program they learned alot about themselves andtheir interests.”

Working in groups offour to six students, shesaid freshmen researchedPrice Hill and the nonprofitorganizations in the com-munity, and each groupchose a nonprofit for whichto advocate and formed asmall business enterpriseto raise money for the non-profit.

Each group prepared apresentation about theirrespective nonprofit, ex-plaining what the organiza-tion does and how it alignswith the mission of SetonHigh School, she said. Sixfinalists were selected andthen representatives fromUC’s Economics Centerinterviewed the finalistsabout their fundraisingplan, Hollenbach said.

The UC Economics Cen-ter named the team offreshmen Andi Rapien,Ginny Sabers, BreannaSchmidt, Lizzy Schoenfeldand Sami Schutte as thewinner for their proposal tosupport the Literacy Net-work of Greater Cincinnati.

“We chose the LiteracyNetwork as our nonprofitbecause we all know some-one or have a family mem-ber who has a learningdisability,” Schoenfeld said.

“It’s really exciting. Itfeels great that we’re able

to help them out.”Sabers said the course

taught them a lot aboutgiving back to the commu-nity and also helped themdevelop collaboration skills.

“I was pretty im-pressed,” she said. “Ourgroup had some strugglesin the beginning, but weovercame them.”

Schutte said the Fresh-man Focus course helpsstudents understand andembrace the four pillars ofSeton High School, whichare leadership, service,academic excellence andfaith. She said the experi-ence they gained will helpthem with future projectsand assignments they’llwork on in high school.

“We definitely learned alot about technology also,”she said, noting the teamdesigned the T-shirt thatwill be sold to raise moneyfor the Literacy Network.

Schoenfeld said the pro-ject provided real-worldlearning opportunities, aseach student was respon-sible for a specific rolewithin the group, whether itwas serving as the CEO,marketing director, tech-nology coordinator, treasur-er or art director.

Hollenbach said thewinning team will presenttheir plan to the freshmanclass and kick-off the T-shirt sale fundraiser on Jan.

In return of this great recog-nition, J.F. Dulles has received a$1,000 donation and Purnhagenreceived a certificate of thanks.

Principal Beth Riesenbergerand staff put together the nomi-nation and shared how muchPurnhagen has provided to thestudents, staff, parents andDulles community.

FEBRUARY 4, 2015 • DELHI-PRICE HILL PRESS • A5NEWS

Whenever the grandkidsspend the night, I let them“color” their bath water with abit of food coloring.

Emerson, 2-1/2, usuallychooses blue, yellow andgreen. Her sister, Eva, 6, likes

pink and red. Iguess that’s whyI was low on redfood coloringwhen I got outthe ingredientsfor the red vel-vet cake recipeI’m sharing forValentine’s Day.To be on the safeside, I bought 2boxes, one forme in the kitch-

en, and one for the kids in thebath.

Don’t forget those in yourcircle of family and friendswho could use a bit of cheeringup this Valentine’s Day. Buy abox of kids’ Valentines.They’re less expensive thansingle cards and bring joy toValentines of all ages.

Red velvet cake fromscratch

When I see a recipe likethis, I wonder how it was everdeveloped. Red velvet cake is a“happy” cake - the vivid colormakes me smile. The cocoagives a hint of chocolate. Yes,you do need a whole bottle ofred food coloring. There arerecipes I’ve seen that use beetsas a natural coloring agent.This recipe has to have foodcoloring. But heck, it’s onlyonce a year…

2-1/2 cups all purpose flour1/2 cup unsweetened co-

coa powder1 teaspoon baking soda1/4 teaspoon salt2 sticks butter, softened (1

cup)2 cups sugar4 large eggs, room temper-

ature1 cup regular sour cream1/2 cup milk - 2% or regular1 oz bottle red food col-

oring2-1/2 teaspoons vanillaPreheat oven to 350.Grease and flour two 9-inch

round cake pans. This meansgreasing the pan and thensprinkling it lightly with flour,then tapping excess out. Or usebaking spray with flour.

Whisk together, sift or pushthrough a sieve the flour, cocoapowder, baking soda and salt.Set aside.

Beat butter and sugar onmedium speed 5 minutes oruntil light and fluffy. Beat in

eggs, one at a time so that theyincorporate well. Mix in sourcream, milk, food color andvanilla.

Gradually beat in flour mix-ture on low until blended.Don’t overbeat. Pour into pans.

Bake 35-40 minutes or untiltoothpick inserted in centercomes out clean.

Cool in pan 10 minutes. Re-move from pans; cool on wirerack before frosting.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen Put eggs in liquid measur-

ing cup with spout. They willbe easy to pour out one at atime.

Buttercream frosting

I like a thick frosting so Iusually double the recipe.

The left over buttercreamcan be frozen for a couple ofmonths.

1 stick butter (1/2 cup),softened

4-1/2 confectioners sugar,sifted or pushed through asieve if necessary to removelumps

2 teaspoons vanilla4-6 tablespoons milk or bit

more if neededBeat butter until creamy

and then beat in sugar, vanillaand enough milk to desiredconsistency. Makes 3 cups.

Cream cheese frosting

Beat together until fluffy:8 oz cream cheese, soft-

ened4-6 tablespoons butter,

softened4 cups confectioners sugar

or bit more if necessary1 tablespoon vanilla

Lemon blueberry syrupFor Hank, who asked me to

share this recipe when I men-tioned it during a workshop.Hank picks blueberries inseason and then freezes them.This would be nice over waf-fles or pancakes. Note therange in sugar. Dependingupon the sweetness of the ber-ries, you may need more, orless. For restricted diets, use asugar and butter substitute.

1/2 stick butter (4 table-spoons)

1/2 to 1 cup sugar2 generous cups blueber-

ries, fresh or frozen2-3 tablespoons fresh lem-

on juice1 tablespoon cornstarchPlace butter, sugar and

berries in pan. Cook over medi-um heat for 5 minutes, or untilberries pop. Combine lemonjuice and cornstarch and stirinto sauce.

Cook until thickened, about3-5 minutes. Makes about 3cups. Store in refrigerator.Warm before serving.

Jan. 28 questionWhat do you think about

President Obama's proposal topay for two years of communitycollege, effectively expandingschool to K-14 by taxing 529 col-lege savings plans?

“Community colleges are avaluable part of our educationalsystem, and provide an impor-tant option for many studentsand families. However, $60billion is not free, and endingbenefits to middle class 529college savings plans to pay forit is counterproductive and anadded tax on millions of fam-ilies. President Obama is doinga disservice to our studentswhose generation is already onthe receiving end of a growing$18 trillion debt.”

U.S. Rep. Brad Wenstrup

“I am very much against it.The main reason is the taxing ofthe 529 college savings plans.When we started saving forcollege for our children wewere told that the benefit ofusing the 529 was that it wouldnot be taxed, so that was a verylarge selling point in us making

the decision to use it as an in-vestment vehicle to help payfor college.

“To now change that aspect,has the bait and switch feel to it.Although many will say that529s are something that areused by the wealthy, we are avery middle class family withboth parents working full time,and are no means wealthy. Sothe taxing of the 529 is verydisadvantageous to us.

“I am all for expansion ofeducation for all, but in this

case it seems that the middleclass will take the hardest hit.”

C.S.

“Let me see tax the hardworking Americans who aresacrificing to put money awayfor their children, so we couldpay for two more years of edu-cation for everybody. I guessObama was told those 5 millionillegal children( he let in) won’tbe ready in five or six years forthe job market. Why two? Whynot four years? That’s next.When was the last time an ap-plicant was told, ‘you know ifyou just had two more years ofa meaningless education youwould be qualified?’ When Oba-ma said ‘he wanted to spreadthe wealth around,’ you prob-ably thought to other Amer-icans. Now we know he meantthe all the Third World coun-tries.

“You can work extra hours,you got the dough right? Some-one thinks so. “

J.H.D.

Jan. 21 questionThe city of Cincinnati released

a report earlier this month whichdetailed a decrease in crime with-in the city. Do you feel safe, orsafer, in the city than you have inthe past? Why or why not?

“I see no difference in myperceived safety level in down-town Cincinnati. I work in Cin-cinnati so I see it nearly everyweekday, however, I am usuallyonly there during daylighthours. I suspect I may have adifferent perspective if I fre-quented the city after dark. Iapplaud the police for helpingmake a decrease in Cincinnaticrime a reality. It will be curi-ous to see what impact on crimethe ill-advised streetcar willhave, when and if it is evercompleted.”

M.J.F.

“Pre riots, during the lunchhour I would often go grablunch at restaurants on MainStreet in Over the Rhine. Thatarea seemed to be on the up-swing with many independentoperators and owners.

“However, after the riots, Istopped heading into Over theRhine and lost track of what

happened to many of the busi-nesses, taking most of my lunchhours down south more into theCentral Business District, Foun-tain Square area.

“Now, however with so muchredevelopment happening inparts of Over the Rhine, such asthe Vine Street corridor, northof Central Parkway, WashingtonPark and the new WoodwardTheater opening on MainStreet, I have ventured backinto the area.

“There is a sense of safety innumbers and there are manypeople now partaking in theentertainment and restaurantofferings. .That long with somesecure parking garages and lotshas made me feel very safewhen venturing down there.

“Right now I feel very safefrom Central, north up Vine, uptill you get to around the Krog-er's store. It can get a bit intimi-dating from their on up towardsUC. As for Main Street, fromCentral on up to MOTR and theWoodward Theater seems safe,although the density isn't thereyet that exists on Vine, so I ammore cautious.”

(Editor’s note: This excerptfrom Beverly Eiding’s book,

“Pictures ThatMust beSeen,” waswritten byMarjorie Bur-ress and isused withpermission.)

LowerDelhi (SaylerPark now)once had asocial clubcalled the

Coronado Club. Its auditoriumwas situated on the south sideof Lincoln (Gracely) at thewestern corporation of thevillage of lower Delhi, east ofIvanhoe, near the ravine orhollow.

In one side of the clubhouse was a bowling alley, andon the other a large auditori-um, or ballroom, with a stageat the end, where musical anddramatic productions weregiven. When the building waserected has not been deter-mined, but it was still in use in1910.

Williams L. Kayser, a long-time mayor of Home City, wasactive in the Coronado Club, sostated his daughter, the lateWilla K. Butterfield (1896-1975). Kayser lived in a finehome on Liberty Street (Park-land) across from the park. Asa child, Willa rememberedwatching her father pacing upand down their upstairs hallreciting his lines for the role ofIago for a Shakespearian playto be given at the club. Willaalso recalled going to the Coro-nado Club around 1906-1908 forvery proper dancing lessonsevery Friday night, and thebeautiful Cotillion dance man-aged by Margaret WentzelSquibb, granddaughter ofPeter Zinn.

In the late 1920s, Willa But-terfield became involved withthe Girl Scouts in the Cincin-nati District, and helped to

start troops of Brownies andScouts. She later served asexecutive director of the GirlScouts. Through her efforts,the first senior citizen pro-gram was established in 1956,in the city, the first center atPeebles Corner. In February,1977, the Willa K. ButterfieldSenior Center opened at 22Garfield Place, facing PiattPark.

Willa’s husband, Asa V.Butterfield (1893-1976), knownas “Ace,” also had an illustri-ous ancestry. His father, Sup-ply A. Butterfield, was a directdescendant of Benjamin But-terfield of Massachusetts BayColony, c. 1620-1635. “Supply”was a family name, handeddown since Puritan days. AsWilla once told this writer,Massachusetts winters werevery hard. Food and supplieswere brought from England.One winter the colonists nearlystarved. A supply ship fromthe Old World was weeks over-due. When the ship finally castanchor, there was much rejoic-ing. A child was born in theButterfield family that day sohe was named “Supply,” in

honor of that happy day. Everygeneration after that had achild named “Supply.”

After marriage to Willa,Ace joined his father-in-law inthe painting business. He laterserved a sheriff of HamiltonCounty from 1931-1935. Heequipped deputy cars withradio receivers, sent deputiesto police school and upgradedthefood served in the countyjail. With her family, Willalived around 40 years in thePeter Zinn home at the cornerof Gracely Drive and Zinn.About 1970, the Butterfieldsmoved to California to be neartheir daughter and son. Butuntil her death, Willa con-tinued to work for and bringcheer to the elderly. Today, inher honor, the Willa K. Butter-field Center stands facing thenewly renovated Piatt Park. Itis a reminder of her lastingcontributions to the city.

A rendering of the Coronado Club in Sayler Park.

Cincinnati is one of the bestplaces in the country to own apet. With tremendous outdoorspaces, amazing health carefacilities, and affordable main-

tenance costs,there are doz-ens of reasonswhy nowmight be thebest time toconsider add-ing a pet toyour family.

Pet owner-ship has tri-pled in the past40 years, withmore than 160

million pets in the UnitedStates, but there are still sig-nificant numbers of animalsthat need homes, especiallythose available in our localshelters and rescues.

Estimates show that only 30percent of all pets are adoptedfrom animal shelters, leaving ahuge population unadopted –nearly 3 million shelter ani-mals are euthanized annuallyin the United States.

The problem is not overpop-ulation; instead it is a call-for-action to educate the communi-ty that we can make a differ-ence. Research from The Hu-mane Society of the UnitedStates has found that morethan 17 million homes are plan-ning to add a pet to their fam-ily in 2015, but haven’t decidedwhere to go to find their newfamily member. That means ifjust one in every five potentialpet owners chooses to adopt ananimal, they can help save thelives of millions of animals.

Many animals end up inshelters and rescues throughno fault of their own. They arevictims of circumstances be-yond their control, such as anillness or death in the family,divorce, growing family, fam-ily relocation, or impropertraining and preparation fromowners. These pets arehealthy, loving animals. Likeany other pet, they might needtraining to fit into a family andhome, as well as patience from

their new family to help themadjust to their new surround-ings, but adopting an animalpresents benefits that helpfacilitate this transition.

Animals from rescue or-ganizations living in fosterhomes have already had expe-rience in a home setting andmany shelters have volunteersand staff members that helppeople and pets with trainingand obedience even beforethey are adopted. As an addedbonus, adoption can help re-duce many additional costsassociated with new pet owner-ship. Not only are shelter ani-mal adoption fees lower thanbuying from a pet store orbreeder, but many of theadoptable animals in sheltersand rescues have already beenspayed or neutered and arevaccinated. Cincinnati is againbringing together the area’sbest shelters and rescues toshowcase their animals in onelocation during Cincinnati’sofficial Pet Adoption Weekend.

The region’s largest animaladoption event, My Furry Val-entine, a nonprofit organiza-tion focused on bringing to-gether adoptable animals andpotential pet owners, is hostingits annual Mega AdoptionEvent at the Sharonville Con-vention Center from 10 a.m. to5 p.m. Feb. 14 and Feb. 15.

With dozens of rescues andshelters, satellite adoptionevents around the city, andnumerous vendors and ad-vocacy groups participating,My Furry Valentine is hopingto find homes for 550 animals.The event is fun, family-friendly and free. This year’sMy Furry Valentine is hostedby phoDOGrapher and pre-sented by Top Dog sponsorsIAMS and Tri-County Mallwith financial assistance fromThe Joanie Bernard Founda-tion.

Carolyn Evans is founder of MyFurry Valentine. . The annual gather-ing has found homes for more than1,300 pets since inception. Visitwww.myfurryvalentine.com.

Jason Roush knew he had aformidable group of wrestlersheading into his second seasonat the helm of the Elder pro-gram, but the fast and domi-nant emergence of some un-derclassmen has the Panthersturning heads.

Elder is ranked No. 2 in thelatest Enquirer Division I areacoaches’ poll and is 9-0 in dualmeets this season with winsover St. Xavier, No. 3 Moeller,No. 6 Oak Hills and Harrison.

The Panthers finished sec-ond at the Glenn Sample Clas-sic at Harrison in Decemberand second at the CIT Tourna-ment Jan. 17 and 18 in Toledo.Now they have designs on big-ger things as they made it tothe Feb. 4 state duals tourna-ment regional finals. The teamwill face Harrison at 5:30 p.m.at home; if victorious, theyface winner of Glen Este/Moeller in finals to become Re-gion 8 champions and move on-to state quarterfinals.

“We have a team that is pret-ty good top to bottom and thatmakes us a pretty good dualteam,” Roush said. “At CIT, Ihad eight freshmen and sopho-mores place. That’s been an ex-citing thing. We have a lot ofyouth competing right away.We’ve competed well.”

Senior 195-pounder GageBrock, a district qualifier last

year and the team leader inwins thus far this season, leadsa powerful roster.

“I think we have a greatteam with a lot of depth,”Brock said. “We can definitelymake it through the state dualsand get pretty far. I’d love tosee us win all the way up and goto Columbus. That’s definitelymy goal. Win GCL. I’d love tosee our team do well there too.”

Freshman Austin Murphyalready has more than 20 winsand has placed at every tourna-

ment Elder has attended. Mur-phy had a big weekend atBrecksville a couple weekendsago where he wrestled fourstate placers in one weekendand knocked off three of themto make the finals.

“It was pretty exciting,”Murphy said. “I didn’t expectto make it that far and when Ibeat the three state qualifiersin a row, it was pretty surpris-ing.”

WESTERN HILLS — DeJuanSherman Jr. hasn’t had problemsfinding the bottom of the bucketduring his basketball career atWestern Hills High School. The6-foot-1 senior guard recentlyscored his 1,000th career point ina win over Lockland Jan. 19.

Sherman’s averaging 17.1points per game this season, thefourth-best average in the Cin-cinnati Metro Athletic Confer-ence. Last season, Sherman ledthe CMAC in points per gamewith 26.5.

“He’s made a big improve-ment from last season,” first-year coach James Holland said.“His point total may not be there(like last year), but his impact onthe game is really important towhat we do.”

Holland’s witnessed Sher-man’s maturity during his ca-reer at West High. Holland wasan assistant at West High for sixseasons, then left last season tocoach Newport before returningto take the head coaching job thisseason with the Mustangs. So,Holland was at West High forSherman’s freshman and sopho-more seasons.

“To see him (Sherman) growhas been unbelievable,” Hollandsaid. “He has a natural ability toplay basketball. He does somethings as a coach that you can’tteach.”

Like any great scorer therecomes a time when the focusturns from offense to defense.That’s been the process this sea-son for Sherman, according toHolland. “To play at the next lev-el he has to play defense,” Hol-land said.

Holland also said that Sher-man is a “quiet guy” but also “abit of a comedian” and that he’s agreat kid to have in the lockerroom.

Sherman’s had some helpwith senior leadership dutiesthis season from Malik Seldon, a

6-foot-7 forward who’s leadingthe CMAC in blocks per game(4.8).

Holland on Seldon: “I wouldsay he’s one of the most athletickids in the city. His shot-blockingability is unbelievable.”

According to Holland, Seldonused to be a two-handed shooter,unsure of which hand to proper-ly use. Holland and his staff al-tered his shot giving him a morenatural left-handed stroke.

“The way he’s (Seldon)changed his game has given usanother dimension we didn’thave early in the season,” saidHolland.

The Mustangs have had arough go of it this season, withjust three wins. But they’relearning. Holland’s optimisticthat with strong senior leadersand good young guys in the pro-gram that West High can beginto turn things around.

Senior Joe Isham hasmoved up to heavy-weight and leads theteam in pins. FreshmanTi’Ric Evans has 20 winsat 152 pounds. Evans isthe nephew of OrlandoScales, a two-time unde-feated state champ at El-der who is on the Pan-thers’ coaching staff.

The biggest team winwas a 37-22 final atMoeller Jan. 9. The Cru-saders have been the toparea team for severalyears and the Pantherswon eight of the 14matches in a dual thatRoush said was closerthan the score.

“It shows how farwe’ve come and it showshow much our team hasgrown,” Brock said.“We’re really looking tochange the view thatMoeller is top dog be-cause that’s what wewant to be.”

Roush said Elder hasbeaten Moeller less thanfive times during thepast 20 years.

“We hadn’t beatenMoeller since I was afreshman and that was abig deal even then,” Ish-am said. “Coming out intheir home gym duringtheir Senior Night and

beating them was one ofthe high points of Elderwrestling for me.”

The Panthers host thefirst round of the stateduals beginningWednesday and will seethe winner of Colerainand Mount Healthy intheir first match. Thatwinner will face La Salleor St. Xavier.

Three wins in thetournament could set upa possible rematch withMoeller for the Region 8championship and a tripto Columbus.

“Getting a dual winover Moeller is some-thing that hasn’t hap-pened a whole lot in re-cent history,” Roushsaid. “So it was a big winfor our staff and ourkids. But we have to beable to turn around anddo it again if we want toget to St. John’s Arenaand wrestle in the finaleight of the state duals.”

Elder also has itssights set on the GreaterCatholic League SouthTournament Feb. 21 atSt. Xavier and then thesectional, district andstate meets. The Pan-thers have not won theGCL Tournament since1990, according toRoush.

“That’s one of our biggoals this year,” Roushsaid. “We want to breakthat streak.”

WESTWOOD — Motherof Mercy has set its sightson the state swim meet.It’s the logical focal pointfor any team in the water— to aim for the biggest,against the best. But, theBobcats have some addedmotivation.

If Mercy has a swim-mer make it to state,third-year coach KimHogue will be dyeing hernatural hair for a newshade.

“If they make it to stateI have to dye my hairblue,” Hogue admittedwith a laugh.

Hogue explained thatlast season, now senior,Megan Buse asked hercoach about the blue hairdye challenge if she madeit to state. Buse justmissed the grand stagelast year, but she’s set hersights on state again sothe challenge was re-newed again.

“She’s a very talentedswimmer,” Hogue said of

Buse who qualified for thefinals in the breaststrokeat the Southwest OhioSwimming and DivingClassic Jan. 17-18. Busewas also the female ath-lete of the meet at the Ma-son Invitational back inearly December.

Junior Amanda Scola isMercy’s other hopeful forstate. Scola and Buse areboth on Mercy’s relayteams which also have ashot.

Hogue said Scola’s an-other hard worker whowas recognized as thefemale athlete of the meetat the South Dearborn In-vitational.

“It’s always nice whenother teams recognizeyour swimmers and theystand out individually,”Hogue said.

Mercy’s at the point inthe season where only big-time meets remain. Upnext for the Bobcats is theGirls Greater CatholicLeague meet on Feb. 4.

“There are just somepowerhouse teams (in theGGCL),” Hogue said. “Ifthey have their best timeand the relays have theirbest times that’s all youcan ask for.”

From the beginning ofthe season until now,Hogue has been workingwith her team on confi-dence. Hogue said that, at

times, her girls can holdback because of the com-petition.

“It’s intimidating to seesome other girl’s on theblocks,” said Hogue. “Idon’t think some of themrealized how fast theycould be and how wellthey could do. We’rebuilding confidence sothey get up on that blockand know they’re gonnago in and do their verybest.”

Mercy was lent a help-ing hand from another lo-cal team earlier this sea-son. Hogue said that whenone of Mercy’s pools hadto close for renovationsover Christmas break,one of the most importantpoints of the season for aswim team, Oak Hillsopened its pool so the Bob-cats could practice.

“We were just gratefulto Oak Hills for letting ushave pool time,” Hoguesaid. “You don’t see that alot because some schoolsare so competitive. It’snice when schools do thatfor each other.”

MONFORT HEIGHTS —The La Salle footballcoaching search lasted agrand total of three days.After Nate Moore re-signed to take the headfootball coach and athleticdirector jobs at MassillonWashington on Jan. 25, LaSalle didn’t waste any timein its search. On Jan. 28, LaSalle hired former Thom-as More football coach JimHilvert to the same posi-tion.

“The opportunity tocoach at La Salle wassomething that made meso excited that I had to con-tact athletic director DanFlynn and place my namein consideration,” Hilvertsaid in a release obtainedby The Enquirer’s Mike

Dyer. “Coaching in theGCL South and leading theyoung men in the La SalleFootball program areonce-in-a-lifetime oppor-tunities. I am also excitedto coach at the alma materof my father, Jim Sr., whowas in the class of 1964.”

Hilvert had a record of67-19 at Thomas More andhe won six President Ath-letic Conference titles.

Moore couldn’t pass upthe opportunity “to be anathletic director and ad-vance my professional ca-reer from the administra-tive standpoint,” he said.“When you look at it from aprofessional and familyvantage point, it was theright move for us.”

Moore knew that leav-ing behind the school hehad, two months earlier,led to its first state cham-

pionship would not be easy.Moore wanted to meetwith his players and ex-plain his decision face-to-face. Eventually, he did,but his players had alreadyheard the news.

“I was really disap-pointed in the way it hap-pened, you know, on socialmedia,” Moore said. “Iwanted to be the one to tellthem (players). The firstthing I told them was howit happened is not what Iwanted. That was not myintent.”

Moore told his formerteam how much he caresfor them, and that he al-ways will.

“I still care about thekids I coached at Minster agreat deal too,” said Moorewho was at Minster beforeLa Salle.

Moore remembered

when the La Salle jobopened up he didn’t thinkhe would land an inter-view, but he “wanted to gobig and apply for the big-gest job out there.”

“I didn’t expect to get aninterview,” said Moore.“But, to get a chance tocoach in the GCL South,the greatest league in thestate and possibly thecountry — that drew me tothe (La Salle) job.”

Moore said there’s anassistant athletic directoralready in place at Massil-lon so he’ll have some helpearly on. But, the formerLancer said he was fortu-nate to have worked for agreat athletic director thelast two years in DanFlynn. “He’s one of thebest in the business,”Moore said of Flynn. “Hedoesn’t get enough credit.”
