The Rock Almighty: Politics at Trinity High School

 



Politics at Trinity High School

  • Author Larry Farmer

Politics at Trinity High School

Those who know me realize I am a very conservative person politically. When I attended a teacher In-Service after being hired by Trinity High School in 1985 at age 39, I realized I was entering a liberal environment. A couple of my new colleagues were talking about how horrible the South African government was. Shortly afterwards in teacher conferences, the principal (Sr. Stephanie Warren) subjected us to some women’s liberation theories. Some revolved around spouse abuse and how it was caused by a patriarchal society. Others concerned language and its sexist nature. I talked to my dad about these developments, and he advised me to go about my job and keep my mouth shut. Since I needed the job, I decided to take his advice.

In looking back, Sr. Stephanie was in many ways ahead of her time. In 1985, most of her beliefs were considered off the rails; now, they are the norm. She was also very much an advocate of the nuclear freeze movement. The year before, when she was just a teacher, she went to the Trinity Board and asked it to take a stand on this issue. Tom Isbill, one of the Board members, told her to come back when the Soviet Union no longer posed a threat.

Anthony Scola was the assistant principal at Trinity. Anthony was what one might call an old hippie with an effeminate personality and a keen sense of humor. He was also an intellectual type who could be very aggressive. You didn’t want to disagree with Anthony; he could cut you down to size in no time flat. He was a former priest who in his younger years had opposed the war in Vietnam. Eventually he left the priesthood and the Catholic Church altogether. He married a former nun (Margaret) who also left the church, and they both became Quakers. The simple and pacifist lifestyle of the Brotherhood appealed to their sense of right and wrong.

Margaret taught at St. Mary’s, one of the grade schools connected to Trinity. She was also an old hippie who supposedly went so far as refusing to shave her legs or under her arms. Originally the Scolas were from Milwaukee, but they wanted to get away from the fast paced urban life. When they were hired to teach at Trinity and St. Mary’s in Whitesville, Kentucky; the town was too big for them so they settled in Deanefield, a smaller community to the southeast. Whitesville contains about 600 people while Deanefield has less than 100.

I discovered there was a divide between the administrators and clergy of Trinity on the one hand and the parents and students on the others. In 1988 the Evansville Bosse basketball team, mostly Black, traveled to face a mostly White Heritage Hills team. There had been a history of bad blood between the two schools. On their journey, the Bosse team noticed burning crosses along the side of the highway. Sr. Stephanie and some of her fellow sisters who taught at Trinity expressed horror over the situation. Later I overheard some Trinity parents laughing and hee-hawing about the same incident.

Sr. Stephanie left Trinity after four years as principal. Despite my disagreement with her ideology, I had no problem with her as a person or a superior. She gave me a job when I needed one, promoted me to athletic director after just one year, and always treated me with respect. Several times she went to bat for me in disciplinary and personality clash situations. Her replacement was Dan Fuller, a well traveled school administrator who came to Trinity from Florida. At first glance he appeared to be more of the same. In a document he submitted to the Board explaining his philosophy, he used feminine pronouns to refer to non-gender antecedents.

Dan was a unique individual. The students loved him and he commanded their respect. They called him ‘Dan the Man.’ From an academic standpoint, he and W. A. Franklin (an Ohio County assistant principal) were the most scholarly and well read administrators with whom I have ever been associated. However, he gave the students an inordinate amount of freedom, and after one year the teachers were a bit upset. On her principal evaluation form, one teacher included the statement, “Less ‘Dan the Man’ and more Mr. Fuller.” Some concerned teachers led by Anthony Scola and Sr. Lorraine Lauter (a religion instructor) tried to have Dan fired. When the attempt failed, Anthony took a one year sabbatical at the University of Kentucky in order to work on a degree in Spanish.

During Dan’s first year, Sr. Dianna Ortiz (a friend of Sr. Lorraine) claimed she was kidnapped, tortured, and raped by America’s allies in Guatemala. Sr. Lorraine arranged for the school to have a special assembly to address the issue. She turned the assembly into an America bashing session in which United States foreign policy was depicted as evil and sinister. I sat in the back, and as the negativity toward the United States became intense, I shook my head in disbelief and disgust. At one point I looked over at Dan who was sitting across from me, and he was cracking up with laughter at my response. I interpreted this as meaning I had a friend and ally. It turned out that I was correct because next year he promoted me to dean of students.

Margaret Scola, Anthony’s wife, got involved in a running debate with a grade school colleague over the Gulf War of 1991. She said we needed to give sanctions more time before going to war. Jamie Clark, her colleague, challenged her by saying, “I can’t think of a worse way to die than starving.” When Anthony returned from his sabbatical, Dan saddled him with the worst possible classes; they were chock full of troublemakers. Anthony challenged the scheduling, but the Board upheld Dan. A few years later, Anthony and Margaret resigned to become African missionaries. They were stationed in Sudan, and I feared for their safety. Nothing bad happened; however, as they both attended a Trinity graduation in the mid-90’s. Also leaving were Sr. Lorraine and Sr. Theresa Henry (another liberation theology advocate). With these departures, liberalism at Trinity pretty much ceased to exist.

Shortly after his third year began, Dan himself resigned to take a principal’s position in Maine. As chief disciplinarian I basically had the run of the school for the remainder of the year. Another teacher (Katie Williams) was appointed interim principal, but she gave me the freedom to operate as I saw fit. In 1992 John Calhoun was hired as principal. He was a Ross Perot type of conservative, and we were off to the races.

There was a bit of backsliding in 2000 when Mike Clark became principal. Even though Mike was liberal, he did not make a point of advancing a political agenda. However, one of his hires as a religion teacher did. One day I noticed a document in my mailbox which was full of propaganda about how military spending was ruining America. When I complained to the secretary about such items being placed in our personal spaces, she told me it was done by Bob Nicodemus, the religion instructor. I then confronted Bob, and we became involved in a ferocious argument. He defended the propaganda and his actions by comparing it to sending a Christmas card. The argument went on and on, and we ended up yelling at each other. Anyway, Bob left after one year, and Mike was gone as principal after two. Afterwards, we returned to normal.

It is appropriate in light of current tendencies that I end with a story about the national anthem. In 1992 Trinity’s girls’ basketball team was playing in a Christmas Tournament at Brescia University. As athletic director I was always looking to schedule our teams in such tournaments. Barry McArdle, a public relations and recruitment specialist at Brescia, organized the event; and we played in it for a couple of years. Shortly before our first game in the 1992 tournament, Barry came to me and said they would not be playing the national anthem. Instead, a Brescia student would sing “God Bless America.” He said, “After all, Larry, the national anthem glorifies violence.” He then asked if what they were doing was okay with me. I simply responded, “It’s your tournament!” A short time later, a young Brescia student came to the scorers’ table visibly upset. She said Mr. McArdle had just ordered her to sing both “God Bless America” and the national anthem even though she had not practiced the “Star Spangled Banner.” This was probably my most satisfying point in the political wars at Trinity High School.

I received a bachelors degree in 1967 and a masters degree in 1971 from Western Kentucky University. I taught school for 44 years. One year was spent at Fordsville High School, 17 at Ohio County High School, and 26 at Trinity High School in Whitesville. The subjects I taught were government, history, and English. At Trinity I also served as coach, athletic director, and dean of students. I fancy myself a fairly good writer, and my main interests are sports and politics.

US Sports Baseball: Feat. Rays vs. Dodgers Game Highlights (8/24/24)

 

3 Baserunning Tips to Score More Runs in Baseball

  • By Grant Young

A phrase that we’ve all heard hundreds of times by now is that baseball is a game of inches. And while that may be true, there’s also an argument to be made that baseball is a game of 90 feet. 

A team’s ability to win the battle on the basepaths — especially as it pertains to baserunning, as well as giving and taking free bases — can often be the difference between winning and losing a close game.ases — can often be the difference between winning and losing a close game.

Not to mention the benefits that applying pressure to an opposing team’s pitcher might provide, in terms of a mis-executed pitch or other costly mistake. Which is why all teams should strive to be lethal on the bases. 

And although stealing bases might require fast runners, being a good baserunning team does not. A combination of solid coaching and disciplined players can turn a team into a threatening force that wins by makes the most out of all 90 feet. 

Below are three tips by three proven baserunning coaches that will allow your team to scamper to success. 

1. Tony Vitello - ‘Incorporating Base Running into Practice’

Tony Vitello is the head coach at the University of Tennessee. Since taking over at Tennessee in 2017, Vitello has led the Volunteers back to national prominence and has helped establish Tennessee baseball as an SEC and national power, leading the program to four NCAA regionals (2019, 2021, 2022, 2023), three NCAA super regionals (2021, 2022, 2023) and a pair of Men's College World Series appearances (2021 & 2023). Coach Vitello has also won National Coach of the Year awards twice during his time at Tennessee.

In his ‘Incorporating Base Running into Practice’ course, Coach Vitello details a few important aspects to keep in mind when coaching players about taking bases when balls are thrown in the dirt.

“Baserunners should follow the ball out of the hand and be able to see the angle,” Coach Vitello said. “A lot of guys just look at the pitcher release the ball and their eyes move toward home plate.”

This is a small detail that can often spell the difference between moving up to second (or third) base on a ball in the dirt, or remaining stationed. Watching the ball from its entire journey from the pitcher’s hand to the catcher’s mitt (or to the bat) enables the baserunner to make early reads about where the ball might be headed. 

Coach Vitello incorporates this into practice by saying that, in intrasquads, if his players are thrown out trying to move up on a passed ball and are thrown out, just have them sent back to whichever base they came from. Making it so there’s no consequence for being over-aggressive on the basepaths allows players to hone their baserunning instincts, which will serve them — and their team — during games. 

2. Adam Szabo - ‘Baserunning and Fielding Mechanics

Adam Szabo is the Founder and CEO of Excelerate Athletic Development, which partners with and supports teams, organizations, and individuals in reaching their goals through developing athleticism, sport-specific skills, and the ability for athletes to train themselves through a systematic and organized set of programs and workouts.

In his ‘Baserunning and Fielding Mechanics’ course, Coach Szabo discusses the proper technique behind rounding bases. 

“If you’re rounding second base, and trying to go to third base, you’re actually going to lean toward third base as you’re rounding,” Coach Szabo said. 

Another invaluable tip he offers is that, when rounding a base, baserunners should be driving their right arm across their body, towards the base they’re running to. This will help the baserunner eliminate the bow out that comes from rounding bases, which will save them crucial time when making it to the next base. This little adjustment — which Coach Szabo says to explain as, “take your right arm and push it to your left pec” — could be the difference being safe and out. 

Another important tip that Coach Szabo has is to never have a player looking at the ball as they’re rounding third base. There’s a third base coach there for a reason, and it needs to be on that coach to be telling the player (nonverbally) whether they should be heading home or staying at third. The player’s only focus should be following their coaches que, and keeping their momentum geared toward home.

 

3. Steve Nicollerat - ‘The 10 Base Running Drills Every Coach Needs

null

Steve Nicollerat is the Founder of Coach Baseball Right! Which provides baseball organizations dozens of resources available to grow and elevate their current programs and deepen their kids' experiences. In addition, Coach Nicollerat has about 40 years of experience coaching varsity baseball at St. Louis University High School, as well as played collegiate ball at St. Louis University.

In his course, Coach Nicollerat discusses how to steal second base off of left-handed pitchers. The first part of this requires understanding whether the left-handed pitcher can read or not. If the lefty pitcher has proven that they can read effectively, it might be wise to not steal.

But if the lefty isn’t a reader, and instead uses a more deceptive pickoff move to try and negate the run game, Coach Nicollerat explains that one option is to have the baserunner take a big lead, then take off for second base as soon as the pitcher makes their first movement. The idea behind this is that, if the pitcher’s pickoff move is slow, then the baserunner will have enough time to make it to second base if they steal once the pitcher begins their long pickoff move. 

Although if you’re also looking to steal against a reading lefty, one way to do so would be to wait until the pitcher enters the apex of their delivery (the top of their leg lift). While this is a risk, the reading pitcher has most likely already made their decision to pitch rather than pick at this point, so the baserunner has a solid chance of stealing the base. 

Teaching your players these three coaches’ techniques should have them maximizing opportunities on the basepaths, which will allow your to manufacture more runs and start winning games that you might have otherwise lost.
