Twin Lakes expanding in Montgomery A Montgomery senior living

community is expanding andwill increase its population byabout 100 people.

Twin Lakes Senior LivingCommunity is adding 45 inde-pendent-living apartments, a ca-sual dining venue, a community

center, a retaildevelopment anda new buildingwith about 40 to56 memory-sup-port assisted liv-ing accommoda-tions as part of its$52 million ex-pansion, Life En-riching Commu-

nity President and CEO ScottMcQuinn said.

“It is a multiple part project.The main goal is to enhance whatwe call the continuum of ser-vices that are available at TwinLakes. We have several things,but we felt like there were somethings that were missing and wewanted to add,” McQuinn said.

McQuinn said Twin Lakes al-ready has memory-care in anursing setting, but doesn’t haveit in an assisted living setting.

Twin Lakes has a 65-acrecampus with villa homes, apart-ments, assisted living, rehabili-tation therapy services and

nursing care services for about400 residents. It opened in 2005and has had 98 percent occupan-cy since then, with a significant

waiting list, McQuinn said.“Twin Lakes Senior Living

Community has always been avalued partner in local specialevents, such as Holiday in theVillage, and civic engagement,as well as with the MontgomeryCitizens’ Leadership Academy,”Montgomery City ManagerWayne Davis said.

Construction on the expan-sion would begin in early sum-mer 2016 and finish in late 2017.

“This project will help themto realize their vision of growth,continuing to offer housing andretail options for the communitywhile providing outstanding ser-vices to their residents and con-tinuous reinvestment in theMontgomery community,” Da-vis said.

McQuinn said Twin Lakeswill also be doing some renova-tions, repurposing existingspace and building a 60-spaceparking garage beneath the newapartments.

“We have a very strong rela-tionship with the city of Montgo-

Princeton Superinten-dent Thomas Tucker hasbeen named the 2016 OhioSuperintendent of theYear by the Buckeye As-sociation of School Ad-ministrators for his workin the Worthington, Ohio,school district.

Tucker came toPrinceton in August from

Worthington, where heworked as superinten-dent for four years, andbefore that as director ofsecondary curriculum,principal, teacher andcoach in Worthington,Licking Heights and Hil-liard school districts.

The award cited con-tributions in leadership,communication, profes-sionalism and communi-ty involvement in areasthat Tucker said he cancontribute to Princeton,as well.

He gave credit to thestaff and community forthe contributions in Wor-thington and previouslyin Hilliard school dis-tricts in the Columbusarea that lifted schoolsfrom continuous im-provement to excellent,

established professionallearning communities,and worked to close alearning gap by encour-aging girls to enroll inSTEM-based classes.

Leadership for learn-ing is one of the criteria.

“One thing we focusedon through strategicplanning was a gap be-tween boys and girls inSTEM. We started look-ing at this before STEMwas a buzz word,” Tuckersaid.

“We looked at systemlevel gaps. We looked atevery child and theunique needs and modal-ities of every child. Youhave to do that first.

“Research shows girlsdo as well as boys in thatsubject,” he said. “Whatwas keeping girls fromenrolling? We found rolemodeling is extremelysuccess in those areas.One thing I enjoyed was apartnership with Hondaand getting a grant fromGoogle to create APclasses. We created anAP environmental sci-ence class for girls and itfilled up overnight.”

Princeton has a STEMprogram at the high

school level, and Tuckersaid the district plans tooffer it to the lowergrades in the near future.

Another area of con-centration was gradua-tion rates.

“We were five pointsfrom the standard, andwhen I left we were meet-ing the standard,” Tuckersaid. “And two years ago,we set up alternativeschool for students whowere not succeeding in acomprehensive schoolenvironment.”

He stressed focus oninstruction for teachers,and continuous monitor-ing of student progress.

“You can’t teach kidsin one day. We need tomake sure we have for-mative practices and op-portunities for creativethinking, to demonstrateknowledge to show ushow they are progressingto meet standard.”

Tucker also pointed toprofessional learningcommunities, with com-mon planning time that’s

structured and purpose-ful, where teachers cancollaborate. He saw suc-cess in Worthington, andsupports that approach inPrinceton, where the newcampus was built withthis type of collaborationin mind.

“These things workedthere, and they will workhere at Princeton,” Tuck-er said. “Here in Prince-ton, folks are hungry togrow. People want to getbetter. Folks here want tobe the best.”

Boiman said he’s astrong believer in theacademy’s benefits. It’san opportunity for mem-bers of the community tosee how the sheriff’s of-fice operates and gain a

better understanding oflaw enforcement than isoffered on the news,movies or televisionshows.

Academy participantswill gain a better under-standing of what police of-ficers are up against ev-ery day, he said.

“It says a lot when wehave these two entities,Symmes and Anderson

townships, partner tomake this happen,” Kette-man said. “It’s great forthe citizens to be able to doit.”

The program has open-ings for a total of 30 par-ticipants. During theacademy they will learnabout the roles and re-sponsibilities of sheriff’sdeputies and the dangersand stresses inherent inthe job of law enforce-ment. Topics covered in-clude the history of theSheriff’s Office, patrol,criminal investigations,community policing andspecialized units. Acad-emy instructors are de-

partment personnel andcivilian guest speakers.

HOLIDAY GIVING OPPORTUNITIES

As far as some IndianHill High School studentsare concerned, vinyl stillrocks.

The school’s VinylClub has been spinningdiscs for about six years.Recently participants inthe club have been dee-jaying at various eventsthanks to a donation bythe Indian Hill Boostersthat allowed the club tobuy a professional mo-bile deejay setup.

“The student’s enthu-siasm is what is drivingthis,” said Indian HillHigh School Englishteacher Tom Millard,who is also the club spon-sor.

Millard said the club isessentially “a record ap-preciation society.”

The group meets oncea week on Thursday andalso has various fieldtrips to local recordstores.

Students sign up for aspecific week duringwhich they have controlof the turntable. Accord-ing to Millard, the selec-tion of songs is as diverseas the vinyl recordingsthe students bring to themeetings.

“Many (of the clubmembers) are alreadypassionate about musicbut the vinyl aspect adds

an extra layer of cool,”said junior Frank Cassi-dy, who has been part ofthe Vinyl Club for threeyears. “When you pop ona classic band like LedZeppelin, eyes light uparound the room.”

Millard, who himselfis a vinyl enthusiast, saidhe is not surprised by thecurrent popularity of vi-nyl recordings. He said

students are initially at-tracted by the noveltyfactor but that it isn’tlong before they begin toappreciate what he callsa “richer experience”while listening to a re-cording.

Millard said a recentNew York Times articlesaid 54 percent of vinylcustomers are 35 oryounger.

Additionally, he said in2014, more than 13 millionrecords were sold, thehighest in 25 years.

Involvement in the Vi-nyl Club has continued togrow as well. When itfirst began the club hadhalf a dozen members. Itnow has from 60 to 70.

The students are nowtaking their passion forvinyl beyond the class-room.

With the mobile dee-jay setup in hand, clubmembers have startedshowcasing their recordselections at tailgatingparties and sportingevents as well as at aBoosters cookout.

“We’re very eager toget ourselves out into thereal world,” said juniorKarthik Raturi.

Millard said guestsare welcome to join thestudents on their fieldtrips to the record stores.If interested, contact himvia email at [email protected].

In 1982, at the requestof Montgomery CityCouncil, MontgomeryWoman’s Club took on thetask of decorating down-town.

The first year wastreated as an experimen-tal pilot project becausethere was not enough timeto buy permanent decora-tions; fresh greenery,bows and lights wereused.

During the spring of1983 a master plan forholiday and seasonal dec-orations was drawn underthe direction of the MWCPublic Affairs Commit-tee. Carol Wooledge wasinvolved with the design,which was modeled onWilliamsburg, Virginia.

The club couldn’t usefresh greens and fruit be-

cause they would have tobe continually replaced asthe items turn brown andthere was a lack of fundsfor such a high-end pro-ject. In 1997 MontgomeryWoman’s Club took overthe entire project ofdowntown decorating anddirection of the volun-teers. Funds were madeavailable from the Mont-gomery Woman’s Club Fi-nancial Advisory. Mem-ber Nancy Cleary wasserving on the city com-mittee involved in beauti-fication and with Ann Sex-ton (president 1996), theMWC agreed to take onthe whole project ofdowntown decorating forthe City of Montgomery.

Nancy and Arlene Woj-cieszak organized down-town decorating with thesupport of the city. MWC,the Beautification Com-mittee, the City of Mont-gomery and communityvolunteers work tireless-ly to fluff, hang, clean and

store the bows and green-ery with the support of theCity of Montgomery.

The annual tree light-ing ceremony is the firstSaturday of December.

An ounce of prevention is worth a poundof cure. Especially when it comes to leav-ening baked goods during this super busyholiday season.

That’s why I’m reminding you again tocheck your leavening agents. For bakingpowder, stir a teaspoon or so into 1/4 cupwarm water. It should fizz up right away. Ifnot, toss it.

To test leavening power in baking soda,stir a teaspoon or so into 1/4 cup of vinegaror lemon juice. It should also fizz up rightaway.

Stir a packet of yeast in very warm water witha pinch of sugar to feed it. If it’s good, it will bub-ble/foam after a few minutes. I store my yeast inthe freezer for longer shelf life.

Readers want to knowWhat’s that white coating or speckling on my

chocolate?The whitish layer/speckling is what is known as

“chocolate bloom.” There are two types: fat andsugar bloom.

Fat bloom is caused when chocolate is exposed

to high temperatures and then allowed toreset, or is not tempered properly. Thecocoa butter melts and separates, thenrises to the surface creating a whitish“bloom.”

Sugar/speckled bloomChocolate looks speckled rather than

whitish. Caused by an excess of moisturethat makes the sugar crystallize.

Store in cool place to avoid bloom.

Using bloomed chocolateYes, it’s safe. It may not have the “snap” and

silky-smooth texture of tempered chocolate, butthe flavor is still good.

Difference between bitter, bittersweet,semisweet, milk and white chocolate.

Savory, sweet bacon, coffee cake for brunch

Savory and sweet bacon for brunch

This is a good recipe for brunch since it’s yummy warm or roomtemperature. The cayenne gives it punch; the sugar lends a mellowsweetness. Use high quality, thick cut bacon for best results.

1 pound thick cut bacon

Mix:

1/4 cup brown sugar, packedScant 1/2 teaspoon ea. cayenne and black pepper

Preheat oven to 350. Lay bacon in single layer on sprayed sheet.Rub a bit less than half the sugar mixture on top. Bake in mid-

dle of oven about 15-20 minutes. Turn over and sprinkle with rest ofmixture. Bake until crisp, about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Lois Boekley’s Crumb Coffee Cake

Brunch is a popular way to entertain during the holidays.Here’s a recipe from reader Lois Boekley, who treasures her family’sgenerational recipes. Lois said: “I got the recipe from my grand-mother many years ago, and tweaked it to make it my own. I haveshared this cake with many people over the years to welcome newneighbors, for potlucks, and for friends who are under the weath-er.” Lois’ tip on not over mixing the batter results in a more tender,nice textured, cake.

3 -1/3 cups all purpose flour2-1/4 cups sugar1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon1/2 teaspoon nutmegPinch salt18 tablespoons salted butter or margarine1 cup buttermilk1 teaspoon baking soda2 eggs

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch roundor two 8-inch square pans or one 13 X 9-inch pan.

Combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.Using a pastry blender cut in the butter or margarine. (This

can also be done in batches in a food processor.)Remove 2 cups of the mixture and set aside.Stir the baking soda into the buttermilk. Immediately add the

buttermilk mixture and the eggs to the remaining crumb mixture.Mix only until the mixture is evenly moistened; do not over mix.The batter will be lumpy.

Transfer the batter into the prepared pan(s). Sprinkle with thereserved crumb mixture.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean,about 25 to 30 minutes for the 8- or 9-inch cakes or 30 to 35 min-utes for the 13 X 9-inch cake. Cool on a wire rack.

Note: This cake is best served warm. Reheat individual por-tions in the microwave oven.

I must disagree with Mr.Edward Levy’s column - rad-ical steps to reduce violence.

We have not come up with amethod of keeping guns out ofthe hands of criminals and thementally ill. To propose that

we arm morecitizens inorder to re-duce violencecertainlyseemscounter-pro-ductive. Cur-sory researchreveals that inother coun-tries wheregun laws havebeen tight-

ened, violent crime has beensignificantly reduced. Mentalhealth is a very complex sub-ject and our police need moretraining in this.

His advice to hold nearestof kin responsible indicateshe has never dealt with ourjustice system. I have afriend whose 16-yea-olddaughter is mentally unbal-anced and addicted to drugs.Mom can’t tie her up or lockher in a cage unless she wantsto face child abuse charges.There are not enough mentalhealth facilities and the onesthat exist cost $40,000 for sixmonths of treatment, afterinsurance. Most are notlocked down and the teenagercan simply walk away anytime. Once they have runfrom a facility, they won’t

take them back because ofliability issues.

While this young lady is notyet violent, she is showingsigns of becoming so. Thecourts have turned her backout onto the streets after shesaid in front of a judge, “I justwant to die.” They put anelectronic monitor on her,which she wore for about twoweeks before simply destroy-ing it and going on the runagain. How in the world couldyou hold this parent respon-sible? She is doing everythingin her power to get help andnone is forth coming. Parentsare not denying responsibilityfor their children but they arebeing denied any real solu-tions.

The ideas about our correc-tional system are horrifyingparticularly in light of thenumber of people who havebeen incarcerated and laterfound innocent of a violentcrime. Why give the criminala Bible, but deny him anyform of love or forgiveness.There is nothing even remote-ly humane about these sug-gestions.

As to the writers of theSecond Amendment, “know-ing what they were doing,” Ilaugh! This has been one of

the most misunderstood andhotly debated amendmentsfrom the time it was written.It is directed toward “a reg-ulated militia” - written toguarantee the right of citizensto revolt. The Supreme Courthas ruled that this extends toan individual’s right to beararms, but I think this may yetcome up again for debate asto whether it covers the rightto carry concealed weapons.

Simply put, we need bettermental health care and an endto the concealed carry. If aneighbor who seems mentally“off balance” starts waving aweapon or talking about re-venge, I will report it - andhopefully prevent anothertragedy. I am much morecomfortable holding to “if yousee something, say some-thing.”

Not if you see something….shoot it!

Violence begets violence

AnitaShoemakerCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Simply put, we need better mental health care and an end to the concealed carry.

The scariest part of growingup is being forced to competewith your older siblings andneighbors.

After that comes the compe-tition with school mates andthe various sports you areencouraged to participate in.Take some time to think overthe terrible feelings you had.Some of us never outgrow thedread we endured. A few of uslearn from the experience andstart to become competitive.The majority give it a modesttrial and succeed to the extentthey are satisfied.

Throughout our lives alltypes of competition are forcedupon us. There are grades,social contacts, obtaining a job,acquiring a mate, promotions,sports for some of us and thatis just a few of the dilemmaswe face.

What I want to encourage isfor you to take charge of yourfuture by becoming compet-itive. Without going into detail,it worked for me. You don’thave to start at the top of any

situation. Youmerely have tostay “in thegame” at yourchosen level.Success usu-ally comesvery slowly.One thing youneed to learn isthat you im-prove yourselfby correcting

your mistakes. Your competi-tion will learn from your suc-cesses. So, don’t be afraid tomake small mistakes.

As you go through the edu-cation process there will bemany times a really goodteacher will lead you to betterperformances. Sadly, there aremany teachers who are moreinterested in themselves thanin you. Search out the goodones and try to show improve-ment to them. You will be notonly rewarded, but be on yourway to success.

As you follow these simplesuggestions, your self confi-

dence will grow. With that,success will not be a distantand unsurmountable target,but a closer and closer reality.Don’t be afraid of your firstand seemingly unimportantjob. Let your boss or managerknow that you want to makethem glad they hired you. Pro-motions or good recommenda-tions will follow. Your path tosuccess will not seem as hardas it once did.

The same holds true if youdecide to take up sports. Thetraining and discipline re-quired to become proficientare no different than becominggood in your chosen career.The main difference is thephysical effort you have to putout and the skills you have tomaster. I was known as theworst athlete in my gradeschool. Many years later thegym teacher learned that I hadan athletic scholarship in col-lege. He was amazed. It tookmany extra hours of devotedpractice and excessive pa-tience, but it was worth it.Needless to say, the self confi-dence was of great value in mybusiness career. It is some-thing that you gain from hav-ing earned respect for thediligence you showed in train-ing.

Most of all, you will alwaysface competition of some sortin life. Pay attention to thatwhich matters. Ignore thepetty issues. Just choose wise-ly and life will get more enjoy-able as you age.

Fall sports are right aroundthe corner and many youthfootball players are hitting thefield in preparation for agreat season.

With this high contactsport, a common sports injury

follows. Ac-romioclavic-ular, or AC,sprain is alsocalled ashoulderseparation. Itoccurs whenthere is trau-ma/injury toone of theligamentsthat holds theclavicle (col-

larbone) to the scapula (shoul-der blade).

Most AC sprains do notrequire surgery, but do re-spond best to a period of restso those injured ligaments canheal.

At Cincinnati Children’s,physicians and athletic train-ers with the Sports Medicineteam see this type of injurymost often from a blow to thepoint of the shoulder or froma fall.

Signs of shoulder sep-aration

» pain immediately wheninjury occurs;

» impaired movement ofthe shoulder - especially anyoverhead motions;

» swelling;» bruising;» point tenderness over the

AC joint (top of the shoulder);» possible deformity - it

may appear that the end ofyour collarbone is sticking uphigher.

The first step in a diagnosisat Cincinnati Children’s isobtaining a medical history.The physician or athletictrainer asks how the injuryoccurred and the symptoms

that followed. Next, a physicalexam takes place. The physi-cian or athletic trainer feelsthe bones and the area aroundthe shoulder and sees how itcompares to your healthyshoulder.

Classifications of shoul-der separation

AC separations are typical-ly classified by grade whichrefers to the severity of in-jury.

Grade 1 is the most com-mon type of AC injury andgenerally means there is asmall tear to the acromiocla-vicular ligament.

Grade 2 is more severe andresults from a complete tearof the acromioclavicular liga-ment. The coracoclavicularligaments may be slightlytorn but overall intact. With aGrade 2 injury you may startto see the end of the collar-bone is slightly raised.

Grade 3 is the most severewhere both the acromioclavic-ular and coracoclavicularligaments are torn. With thisinjury you will see a definitebump on the shoulder as theend of the collar-bone is nolonger held in place.

TreatmentIn most cases, this injury is

treated conservatively andwithout surgery. Ice should beapplied to help reduce painand swelling. The shoulderwill usually be immobilized ina sling initially. Once pain hasbegun to subside, rehabilita-tion exercises can be startedto restore strength and motionto the shoulder. Return toactivity depends on the gradeand may range from twoweeks (Grade 1) to upwards of12 weeks (Grade 3).

Nov. 11 questionWhat results from the Nov. 3

election most surprised you?What, if anything, do the resultsmean for 2016?

“The overwhelming defeatof the marijuana issue, pleasedme a great deal. I had expectedthe ‘medical’ false plea woulddo better. Colorado’s rapidgrowth in auto accidents andincreasing concern over med-ical problems associated withdrug addiction seem to havegotten more attention than Ithought they had. Certainlythe governor’s race in Ken-tucky portends additional con-servative reaction by the vot-ers. A recent political cartoondepicted the pendulum swing-ing back to the right afteryears of unsuccessful socialistprograms. John Kasich provesthat ‘socialist’ ideas don’t al-ways come with a ‘D’ on theballot. I still have great con-cern that continued ignoringof laws and societal break-down could lead to that ‘worstof all choices’ we see in Europenow – anarchy.”

D.B.

“While not really a surprise,I was very interested in the re-sults of the Issue 3 vote. It lostby a landslide, however I amguessing it may have passed if

the backers had not insisted oncreating a monopoly for manu-facture and distribution of theleafy lethargy inducing prod-uct. There are more reasonsout there to approve legaliza-tion than disapprove it, butsentient Americans are inher-ently opposed to monopolies ofany kind. I wish our current‘leaders’ would understandthat better before allowing therecent mega-mergers of theairlines, oil companies and ca-ble providers. Those things wewere not allowed to vote for oragainst, and that is wrong. I ambetting that we will vote againon marijuana legalization andif they craft it properly, the re-sults will be vastly different.”

Last year, head coach GaryToner said he expected his Cin-cinnati Hills Christian Acad-emy boys team to make dis-tricts for the first time in eightyears.

J.P. Pancioli and Ryan Hunthelped deliver on that goal. Thisyear, Toner and the Eagles arelooking for repeat appearancesat the district meet as well asadding some fresh faces to themix, if not state qualification.

Hunt and Pancioli can returnthis season along with a host ofother swimmers including JakeKoopman, Connor Sheehy andDominic Rottman.

The Enquirer tabbed CHCAas one of the area’s teams towatch in Division II again thisseason.

The Sycamore Aviatorsboys will be led by seniors Ea-monn Bell and Chris Seger.Sophomore Luke TenBarge andjunior Matt Schuetz shouldhave breakout seasons. CoachDan Carl expects TenBarge toqualify individually for statethis season in the breaststroke.

“The guys team is reallyyoung but there is more depththan we anticipated going intothe season,” said Carl. “We needto be patient, train hard, andcontinue to get excellent upper-classmen leadership.”

Moeller finished second inthe state last year, behind onlyGreater Catholic League rivalSt. Xavier.

The Crusaders return all buttwo members of that Division Istate runner-up team. Jacob Pe-loquin placed fifth in the state inthe 100-yard butterfly and sev-enth in the 100-yard backstroke.

Cooper Hodge finished fifthin the 200-yard individual med-ley. Both are back for their sen-ior season. Senior Dan Nybergand juniors Austin Theobaldand Will McCullough also re-turn.

Peloquin, a Miami Univer-sity commit, and Hodge, a Uni-versity of Wisconsin commit,will anchor the Crusaders’ relayteams. Expectations will behigh for this team in 2015-2016.

A newish era begins for Cin-cinnati Country Day as JanaWesthoven takes over the pro-gram from former head coach

Benson Spurling. She served asthe top assistant last year.

According to her brief bio onthe school’s athletic website, thecoach is looking to ensure thetransition is seamless and that achanging of the guard doesn’tsignify a change in success.

It doesn’t appear that will betoo much of an issue as the En-quirer tabbed Cincinnati Coun-try Day as one of the teams towatch in Division II.

Senior Malcolm Doepke,fresh off committing to AshlandUniversity, should return foranother strong season.

He qualified for the statemeet in the 200 and 500 free-style races and as a member ofthe 400 freestyle relay.

John Pettengill, CharlieSachs and George Crowley canreturn and make an impact aswell. All three were district par-

ticipants last year.St. Xavier High School’s

swim team has, for a long time,held the state podium in a stran-glehold. The Bombers have cul-tivated and sustained one of themost impressive programs thearea has ever seen.

Last season, St. Xavier wonits seventh consecutive Divi-sion I state championship (36thall-time) and the Bombers re-turn buses full of top-tier talentin the water.

The Bombers also rotatedthe coaching carousel this year.Longtime head coach JimBrower moved from the headposition to an assistant, to makeway for former assistant TimBeerman to take over as headcoach. Beerman was previouslya head coach at Ursuline Acad-

St. Xavier’s400freestylerelay,includingreturnersMatt Slabeand GrantHouse, wonstate lastseason.

St. Ursula, with its youngtalent and roster laden withstate swimmers, is expectedto be one of the city’s bestagain this season.

However, the Bulldogsaren’t the only GGCL teamwith talented youngsters whoearned state experience. Thegirls off Pfeiffer road mighthave something to say aboutthat.

Ursuline, like its rival,sent numerous swimmers toCanton’s waters.

Julia Moran advanced inthe 100 and 200 freestyleraces. Rollie Grinder joinedher in the 200 and swam the500 freestyle along withChristine Van Kirk.

Caroline Blood represent-ed the Lions in the 100 back-stroke and Laura Morrisswam the 100 breaststroke.

All five can come back thisseason and help Ursulinecompete for its third DivisionI girls state title in four years.

Sycamore’s girls team fin-ished 11th in the state last sea-son and returns eight out ofthe nine members from thatteam. Seniors Priscilla Wu,Elizabeth Walden, and MaryFry and junior Hannah Mayreturn eager to build on theirstate experience.

The veterans will bestrong on relays and shouldeach qualify in individualevents. The girls team will beso deep that some potentialdistrict qualifiers will be un-able to crack the lineup.

“There is excellent depthand competition in eachevent amongst our own team-mates,” said coach Dan Carl.“That will make for somevery competitive practicesand competition. Some girlswho could qualify for the dis-trict meet will unfortunately

not make our lineup.”Last season, Cincinnati

Hills Christian Academycoach Gary Toner said hisfreshmen class was the besthe’s ever had.

Anna Van Jura and SydneyDay were among those fresh-men who could contributeimmediately. And they did soas district qualifiers.

Hope Whiteside and Ra-chel Haslem were in the dis-trict mix as well.

Toner is likely hoping afew more faces join them indistrict waters this season.

Mount Notre Dame is ledby Graci Doll, Corinne Her-witz, Amanda Puthoff, AnnieKruspe, and Kate Van DenBrink.

The Lady Cougars willfield a deeper and more expe-rienced squad in coach PeteWagner’s second season atMND. That depth is bolsteredby the addition of some swim-mers who returned to thesport to compete for the var-sity team after taking sometime off from competition.

“This team is well-round-ed and comprised of swim-mers that are committed tothe sport and not afraid to

SYMMES TWP. – CincinnatiHills Christian Academy juniorRachel Haslem’s journey to se-lecting cross country as hersport might not be as long as thecourses she runs, but it is aswinding.

She chose swimming prior toher days at CHCA. Then, shewas a volleyball player as afreshman, but wasn’t entirelyenamored with it. As part of off-season workouts, student-ath-letes can participate in triath-lons, where running is a signifi-cant part of the race. It’s herethat the freshman Haslemfound she had an affinity for it.

“It started with running fiveminutes at a time, then moved to5Ks and on from there,” Haslemsaid. “J.P. Pancioli (one of theboys team’s top runners) and Itook a liking to it, found out weweren’t half bad at it and bothended up joining the team.”

She fell fast and hard for thesport.

In the summer before sopho-more year, she sent an email tocoach Stephen Carter announc-ing her intention to join the pro-gram. She and Carter joke abouthow formal that email was now.

Her skills certainly aren’t alaughing matter though.

“Our boys and girls teamsrun together during practiceand I usually run with them,”Carter said. “Two runs intopractice, I hear footsteps be-hind me. I figured it was one ofthe guys, so I ran a little harder.Still hearing the footsteps, Ilooked back and there was Ra-chel. She caught up to me andeventually passed me.”

She went on to win severalraces that year and qualify forregionals. She was the pro-gram’s first runner to qualify in6-7 years.

The beat rolled on this sea-

son.She led the team in its Cincin-

nati Country Day Invitationalwin and helped it win the Nor-wood Indian Run. In the MasonInvitational earlier this month,Haslem took 11th in the DivisionI race. Carter said they enteredher in that race because theywanted to see how she’d doagainst Division I competition.

Her time would have won herthe Division II race, her normalrace, ahead of Mariemont’s Ma-rin Valentine.

She won the Miami ValleyConference, the district raceand took ninth in the regionalrace.

Haslem finished in 77th inthe Division II girls state race atNational Trail Raceway in He-bron earlier last month.

“One of the big things I no-ticed was how different it wasfrom the regional race,” Has-lem said. “I’m used to beingalone near the front, but there issuch good competition. You’remotivated to keep up with thefaster runners, but it’s hard tokeep that pace because youdon’t want to burn out. Yourmindset has to be different.”

The junior was the pro-gram’s first state qualifier in 10years or so.

When Carter was standing atthe starting line with Haslem,he reflected on the program andhow it has turned around in sucha short time.

“I said something to the ef-fect of ‘can you believe we havea runner here right now?’ ” Car-ter said. “And she turnedaround and said ‘get used to itbecause you’ll see seven of ushere next year.’”

True to form, Haslem has al-ready sent an email, less formalthan the original, about whatshe was planning on doing to im-prove over the summer.

“That’s the kind of kid sheis,” her coach said.

José Cerdá was a SycamoreHigh School water polo playerwho died during a swimmingpractice Oct. 26, 2010, on his18th birthday. His mother Lui-sa and others established theJosé Cerdá Aquatic Founda-tion in his memory, to promotethe growth of the sports heloved.

Since its inception the OhioWater Polo Camp has given theJosé Cerdá Award to water po-lo campers who best exhibitthe qualities that made Josésuch a light in the aquatic com-munity: Contagious enthusi-asm, desire for self-improve-ment, and passion for, and de-dication to, the sport of waterpolo. The recipients of thisaward are chosen by formerteammates of José, who arenow instructors at the OhioWater Polo Camp.

This year’s recipients of theJosé Cerdá Award were waterpolo players Chloe Arrasmith(Walnut Hills High School /AMDG) and Michael Lopez(St. Xavier High School, Cin-cinnati). Ohio Water PoloCamp instructors StephenIoas and Drew Hugenbergpresented the awards.

“I am honored to have wonthis award,” said Lopez. WithArrasmith adding, “José’scharacter and commitment towater polo are legendary, so Iam proud to receive this rec-ognition in his honor.”

The Ohio Water Polo Campwas held in at the University ofCincinnati. The camp helped80 participants from 21 differ-ent schools in Ohio, Michigan,Pennsylvania, Florida, Mis-souri and Illinois improvetheir skills and gain insightson strategies and fundamen-tals of water polo.

The JCAF was establishedin memory of José to help wa-ter polo and swim teams im-prove competitiveness oftheir athletes and to foster uni-ty among teams. To supportthe mission of the JCAF, on-line monetary donations can

emy. “It’s worth mentioning that

this team is 100 membersstrong and while we certainlycan point to some of our topsswimmers at the state level,”Beerman said, “the focus ofthe team is really about help-ing everyone discover andreach the potential they have.”

Junior Grant House is with-out question the fastest swim-mer in state. House has al-ready won four individualstate championships (two as afreshman, two as a sopho-

more), and he’s helped on anumber of state championshiprelay teams. Last year, he wonthe 100 and 200 freestyle racesat state.

Senior Matt Slabe, also anindividual state qualifier,swam on the 400 freestyle re-lay team that won a state titlelast year. Junior Luke Sobo-lewski’s another experiencedswimmer who won a state titleon the 200 medley relay lastyear. Junior Charles Leibsonwas an individual state qualifi-er in two races last year, andjust finished helping theBombers win a water polostate championship. Sopho-more Justin Grender was an-other difference maker at

state last year, as was sopho-more Nicholas Perera.

Beerman has also beenvery impressed by freshmanJake Foster.

“They’re just now learninghow good they can really be,”said Beerman. “Their effortlevel is off the charts in termsof what we’re asking of them.It is a talented team, but we’reexcited to see how far that tal-ent can take us as a team. Wecertainly hope with goodhealth and good training thatwe can return to state and dowell. There are any number ofindividuals (outside of theswimmers mentioned above)on this team who can contrib-ute to our success.”

Indian Hill returns statemeet experience on the girlsside, led by Ohio State commitDevin Landstra. She placedthird in the 50 yard freestyleand sixth in the 100 yard back-stroke at state as a junior. Eliz-abeth Drerup placed fifth inthe 100 yard backstroke.Teammates Avery Pearsonand Bridget Pavlick also com-

peted at state last year in relayevents with Landstra and Dre-rup. They, along with MaryKate Jutze, aim to qualify in in-dividual events this year.

A newish era begins forCincinnati Country Day as Ja-na Westhoven takes over theprogram from former headcoach Benson Spurling. Sheserved as the top assistant lastyear.

According to her brief bioon the school’s athletic web-site, the coach is looking to en-sure the transition is seamlessand that a changing of theguard doesn’t signify a changein success.

To do so, someone needs to

step in and fill Allie Wooden’sspot as that top swimmer.

Last season, Wooden wonstate titles in the 100 and 200freestyle races, turning intimes of 49.43 seconds in the100 free and 1:46.96, breakingher old record in the 200 free-style. She was named femaleswimmer of the meet andnamed Miami Valley Confer-ence girls swimmer of theyear.

She currently swims atSouthern California.

Potential candidates to bethe it-girl include Jenna Ma-crae, Holly Jacobs and SophieHudson.

The continued theft ofpersonal information byidentity thieves has ledthe Internal RevenueService to put in placetougher safeguards forthe 2016 tax filing season.

IRS CommissionerJohn Koskinen says, “Weneed the public’s help. Weneed people to join withus and take an active rolein protecting their per-sonal and financial datafrom thieves.”

The IRS says its clearincreasingly sophisti-cated identity thieves arebuying and selling exces-sive amounts of personalfinancial data on theblack market. They usethis data to file fraudulenttax returns using victims’names and Social Securi-ty numbers.

People like Sandie, ofCincinnati, who wrote me,“Identity issue with IRSholding up 2014 refundpayment that could beused toward eye trans-plant medications. Callsto IRS since May to noavail, just extend refunddate with another ex-cuse.”

It took eight monthsand a lot of work with theIRS before Sandie finallygot her refund. That’s alittle longer than usualbecause the IRS says theaverage wait time to getthings cleared up is sixmonths.

Then there’s Douglas,of Cincinnati, who wroteme, “My wife and I arebeing threatened by theIRS. Someone used mySocial Security number in2013 and owes the IRS.They filed their return inMarch of 2014 – we filed

in April,2014 andreceived anotice thatwe hadfiledtwice.”

Douglassays mat-ters got alot worserecently.

“We received a certi-fied mail stating, ‘Noticeof intent to seize yourstate tax refund or otherproperty’ if we fail topay…We are shocked thatthe IRS can continue toharass us for debt thatwe’re not responsible for.They’ve never evenshown us the tax returnshowing that we owethem money for 2013. Asa matter of fact, our le-gitimate 2013 tax returnshows that they owe usfor that year.”

I put Douglas in touchwith the IRS tax advocatewho was able to sortthrough the fraud. He hasnow been credited for themoney he paid and re-ceived refund checks for2013 and 2014.

The IRS its importantto protect your personalinformation by havingsecurity software on yourcomputers and beingaware of phony emailsand phone scams.

For the 2016 tax filingseason there will be newstandards for loggingonto all tax softwareproducts including mini-mum password require-ments, new security ques-tions and standard lock-out features.

For the first time,refund fraud victims willbe able to request a copyof the fraudulent taxreturns filed by crookswho used their stolenidentities. The IRS saysthere will be partial orfull redaction of informa-tion on those tax returnsto protect additional pos-sible victims. However, itsays, there will be enoughdata for consumers todetermine how their per-sonal information wasused.
