“The workshop spaceis going to be great,” he

said. “All our set construc-tion will be done in a sep-arate room, which willkeep dust and debris outof the auditorium.”

Oak Hills’ auditoriumdates back to 1959, whenthe school was originallybuilt, and has remainedlargely unchanged since,Anderson said.

“It is really due forquite an upgrade,” he said.“We want to make sure ev-erything we’re doing lastsfor the next 50 years.”

A multifunctionalspace, he said the auditori-um is not only used by mu-sic and drama students. Italso serves as the mainmeeting area for the highschool’s class meetings,community meetings andprofessional developmentmeetings for staff, hesaid.

“With this renovationproject, we’re ensuringwe’re meeting the needsof the entire district andall our students and staff,”he said.

Private donations,grants, special fundrais-ing events and moneyfrom the district’s perma-nent improvement fundwill pay for the project.The Ione Holt AuditoriumRenovation Campaign, oriHARC, was formed earli-

er this year as a sub-com-mittee of the Oak HillsBand Association andcharged with raising mon-ey to help pay for the reno-vations.

Anderson said commu-nity support for the cam-paign has been great sofar, and the committeehopes fundraising in-creases even more in thenext few months.

Alan March, a cam-paign committee member,said individuals and busi-nesses who want to con-tribute can make tax-de-ductible donations tosponsor a seat in the newauditorium, purchase aleaf on a giving tree, spon-sor a show or event or buynaming rights to thestage, box office, orches-tra pit, tech booth or work-shop.

“Imagine the pride youwill feel when you seeyour name or your busi-ness’s name on the newstage, new tech booth oreven on the auditorium it-self,” he said.

“That pride will extendthrough the entire OakHills community as a sup-porter of local educationand community events foryears to come.”

Anderson said con-struction of the workshopaddition started the weekof Nov. 16. The entire pro-ject is expected to be fin-ished in July, and he saidthe auditorium shouldopen at the start of the2016-2017 school year.

“It’s going to be greatwhen it’s completed,” hesaid. “Everything willlook good and sound goodinside the auditorium.”

ON THE WEST SIDE STAGE

PRICE HILL – For thefirst time since CincinnatiLandmark Productionsopened its second perfor-mance venue in the neigh-borhood, both of thegroup’s theaters are run-ning shows simultaneous-ly.

This holiday season,the Covedale Center forthe Performing Arts ispresenting “Mary Pop-pins,” and the WarsawFederal Incline Theater ispresenting “Rent.”

“The programming wechose was extremely de-liberate,” Rodger Pille,communications and de-velopment director forCincinnati Landmark Pro-ductions, said.

“We really want to of-fer something for every-one on the West Side and Ithink these shows illus-trate that.”

“Mary Poppins” runsNov. 27 through Dec. 27, atthe Covedale, and “Rent”runs Dec. 2-20, at the In-cline theater.

Tim Perrino, artisticdirector of CincinnatiLandmark, said the holi-day season is an especial-ly popular time for takingin a show, as many peopleand families have made ita tradition to see a livemusical or play.

The two musicals thetheater group is present-ing this year at the holi-days are geared to attractdifferent audiences, hesaid. “Mary Poppins”

aims to please familiesand children, while“Rent” is meant to bringin adults and young pro-fessionals.

He said “Rent” is idealfor folks who are home forthe holidays and lookingto reunite with friendsfrom high school and col-lege. They can grab din-ner before the show or goout for drinks afterward.

“I’ve had so many peo-ple tell me they’ve in-stalled a family traditionof seeing a holiday showat the Covedale,” Perrino

said. “We have one tradi-tion very well establishedthere. It will be cool tofind that same niche for adifferent demographic atthe Incline.”

Whether its familiesgoing to the Covedale orcollege buddies gettingtogether at the Incline, hesaid it should be a greatholiday occasion for ev-eryone.

“We really want to be adestination for the holi-days,” he said.

If the Incline Districttheater continues to per-

form the way it has sinceopening in June, it won’tbe long before a new holi-day tradition is cementedthere as well.

Pille said the Incline’ssummer season consistedof three productions, witha total of 45 shows. All 45shows completely soldout.

“We had one heck of astreak,” he said.

The $6 million, 229-seat theater in East PriceHill’s Incline Districtopened its first show June3. Pille said the success ofthe summer season car-ried over into its fall dis-trict series, and since itsopening, the theater hasseated more than 15,000guests.

Add that number to themore than 43,000 peoplethe Covedale drew thispast year with its shows,and it’s clear CincinnatiLandmark Productions isat the center of a vibrantarts and theater scene onthe West Side.

While both theaters arepopular among West Sideresidents, who no longerhave to stray far fromtheir neighborhoods tosee quality perfor-mances, Perrino and Pillesaid they are also attract-ing crowds from commu-nities across the region.

“We draw people frommore than 300 ZIP codes,”Pille said. “Our theatersare definitely pulling a lotof people into Price Hill.”

With both venues nowin full swing and offeringcomplementary program-ming appealing to a widespectrum of audiences,Perrino said the theatergroup believes it now hasthe platform for a strongfuture.

“It’s a lot of fun,” hesaid. “We’re having a goodtime and we hope otherpeople will too.”

Tickets are still avail-able for both “Mary Pop-pins” and “Rent.”

PRICE HILL – Theneighborhood will onceagain be bustling asschools, community or-ganizations and business-es open their doors to ush-er in the holidays.

Holiday on the Hill, afestive weekend high-lighting the arts and thecommunity, returns for its11th straight year. Activ-ities run Friday, Dec. 4,through Sunday, Dec. 6,throughout Price Hill.

Ann Andriacco, a PriceHill resident who helpedstart the event as chair ofPrice Hill Will’s Arts Com-munity Action Team, saidthis year’s festivities in-clude traditional favor-ites, along with some newadditions.

“We hope to see a lot ofour neighbors at all theevents,” she said. “It real-ly does kick off the holi-days in Price Hill.”

The idea for Holiday onthe Hill came from ameeting at a coffee shop,where a group of peoplediscussed how to generatea buzz about the neighbor-hood, she said. They set-tled on planning a week-end of holiday eventscombining the arts withthe Price Hill businessdistricts.

“The first year wekicked it off by stringingsome lights from a fewshopping carts in theparking lot at CVS. I thinkwe even had to borrow anextension cord from CVSso we could plug in thelights,” Andriacco said.

“We’ve come a longway from that first year.”

Today the weekendstarts with Friday eve-ning’s Light the Hill cere-mony at Seton HighSchool, featuring carolsperformed by the Elderand Seton singers, an offi-cial tree lighting and fam-

ily activities.Light the Hill begins at

6 p.m. Dec. 4, on Seton’sfront lawn. Following thetree lighting, MyCincin-nati youth orchestra willperform inside the SetonCommons, which will alsohost a children’s holidayfair with crafts and re-freshments.

Andriacco said the En-right Ridge Urban Ecovil-lage has joined Holiday onthe Hill this year, and willhost a “Homemade Good-ness” sale with jams,breads, gifts, crafts and aquilt raffle on Friday eve-ning and Saturday after-

noon.Saturday begins with

music and an arts andcrafts sale at 10:30 a.m. inElder High School’sSchaeper Center. Severalschool and church groupswill perform, and she saidabout 40 artists and craf-ters will have works forsale.

The Price Hill Recrea-tion Center will host abreakfast with Santa at9:30 a.m. Saturday; SantaMaria Community Ser-vices will have milk andcookies with Santa at 11a.m.; and the CovedaleBranch Library, Price HillBranch Library and PriceHill Historical Societywill each have openhouses.

Throughout the week-end, guests can view thewindow paintings depict-ing holiday memories at17 different businessesand organizations in PriceHill and take part in ascavenger hunt to identifythe holiday stories areastudents and artists havepainted on the panes.

“My struggles inspired me tocreate a support group for othergirls like me,” she said. “It’s al-ways very difficult to gothrough something like this andI know that it is much easier ifyou have someone by your sidewho understands what it islike.”

She reached out to other teengirls and they meet at a local li-brary monthly to share with oneanother. Her group has the clev-er title of Scoliosisters, and shehas an Instagram account andbusiness cards at CincinnatiChildren’s for other patients.Dillenburger will undergo a spi-nal fusion surgery later thismonth.

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 and

sugar bloom.Fat bloom is caused when chocolate is

exposed to high temperatures and thenallowed to reset, or is not tempered proper-ly. The cocoa butter melts and separates,then rises 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.

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-

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.

The Martinis are a familythat immigrated to DelhiTownship in the 1800s. Theyhave complete records of fam-ily members, along with corre-spondence between both coun-tries to make a complete fam-ily history.

The Martini family startedin Italy. They accomplished alot there. An Italian painter,Seaman Martini (1283-1344),painted a picture of St. Martinfor a little Italian church andas a result he became thePope’s official artist. AnotherMartini, Jean Baptist Martini,was a Jesuit priest and went toconvert China. Fred Martini(1841-1921) invented a gun thatwas used for 20 years by theItalian military.

The Martinis were also

involved in theglassblowingindustry inMurano, Italy,that was theglass empireof Europe formore than 700years. Howev-er, in the reignof King LouisXIV (1638-1715) he want-

ed France to be competitive inall luxury items. His ministersenticed glassblowers fromItaly to settle in France. Therewere several glass factories,but the Martinis chose Bitche,France as their new homeland.It had been an old castle site inLorraine that had a vast for-est.

In those days Glassblowingwas passed down from fatherto son, and families stayed inthe same business for genera-tions. In 1827, Anna ElizabethGru married Jean NicolasMartini, and had nine children.To support their large familythey were also farmers. Theycultivated worn out land andhad little crops to harvest.Then 1840 and 1850 were wetyears, and crops rotted on thevine, and there was no food forpeople or animals.

The worst year was 1845,the whole country was hungry.In 1848, rumors floated inEurope that gold was found inSutter’s Mill in California.Whole villages were emigrat-ing to California. They loadedtheir possessions on their

wagons and made the journeyacross the country to Le-Harve, France, where theycould board a ship to America.

After selling their pos-sessions, and sailing over acranky sea they traveled upthe Mississippi River. Trav-eling inland to California wasa long hard ride. They foundthe Inns, where they had tostay, fell short of their needsfor rest and food. The roadswere hot and dusty and goingover the mountains weretreacherous.

When they got to the goldfields in California and wereable to buy a claim, the condi-tions were worse. They didn’tunderstand the language andcould be cheated out of moneyor their possessions. After

toiling all day, they might notfind anything, or if they did ithad to be keep secret. Therewere gangs of vagabondsready to rob, steal or murderfor gold.

There were also opportuni-ties. A Mr. Weiss was a black-smith and he set up shop andsharpened tools and madeshoes for animals. He made agood living, but most neverfound the American dream.

In 1998, the Ohio GeneralAssembly passed legislationthat created charter schools toprovide options for studentsneeding a setting differentfrom traditional public schools,and to provide the opportunityto pilot innovative programsand services to approve stu-dent achievement.

While most Ohio charterschools offer quality education-al opportunities and programsdesigned to meet unique stu-dent needs, legitimate con-cerns regarding oversight andaccountability have beenraised.

Few issues are more impor-tant than ensuring Ohio’s pub-lic schools, including charterschools, operate within a sys-tem designed to provide consis-tent transparency and account-ability with regard to academicperformance and fiscal respon-sibility. House Bill 2, recentlypassed by the General Assem-bly, includes more than 50

provisionsdesigned toaddress con-cerns withOhio’s charterschools.

HB 2 in-cludes provi-sions to in-crease theaccountabilityof charterschool spon-

sors. Sponsor-focused provi-sions include implementationof a comprehensive evaluationframework for sponsors, re-quirements to provide inter-vention in struggling charterschools, and greater oversightof schools using blended learn-ing and online instructionalmodels. HB 2 also permits theOhio Department of Educationto revoke sponsorship author-ity for poorly performing spon-sors.

Additionally, HB 2 requiresgreater transparency withregard to fiscal expendituresby sponsors, schools and man-agement companies contractedto operate charter schools.Management companies will berequired to provide detailedaccounting of expenditures andsponsors will be required toreport expenditures used toprovide oversight and inter-vention to struggling schools.This will help ensure under-performing schools are utiliz-ing funds to attain acceptablestudent achievement stan-dards.

Ohio must find a way toprovide a quality education forstudents while still maintaininga judicious use of taxpayerdollars. HB 2 is a positive stepto successfully building thisdelicate balance.

This week’s ChristmasParade marks the kick-off toyearlong events celebratingDelhi Township’s Bicentenni-al. But why 2016?

When Hamilton Countywas organized in 1790, SouthBend Township was the namegiven to a large area includ-ing what are now Miami,Green, Delhi, and Storrstownships. Then in 1809 itwas divided into Miami andGreen townships.

On Aug. 30, 1816, the peo-ple in the southern portion ofGreen Township petitionedthe state of Ohio, “prayingthat a fractional townshipmight be incorporated andset off from Green.” The actof incorporation was ap-proved by the Ohio legisla-ture on Dec. 27, 1816, with thetownship “to be known by thename Delhigh.” First officers(trustees) were William Cul-lum and Peter Williams.

The name Delhigh wasused extensively well intothe 1830s. The formation ofSt. Stephen Church (laterOur Lady of Victory) states“Roman Catholics of DelhighTownship met on the ninthday of February 1834 at thehouse of Philip Owens of saidtownship, for the purpose ofgiving themselves a nameand beginning a society ofpeople of said township.”

The originof the nameDelhi (orDelhigh) hasbeen lost withtime. Perhapsit was be-cause muchof the town-ship was a“dell” (wood-ed valley)that was high

in the hills overlooking theriver.

At the time of incorpora-tion in 1816 there were about1,000 people in 200 house-holds in Delhi Township -which at that time includedwhat is now Riverside, Sayl-er Park, West Price Hill andCovedale.

The first settlers camemostly from New Jersey,New York and Western Penn-sylvania. In the middle ofFebruary 1789, 20 familiesand a large number of sol-diers settled a village, whichwas named South Bend for asouthern bend in the OhioRiver. This settlement of 300acres - a mile long on thebanks of the Ohio - was belowwhat is now the Mount St.Joseph Motherhouse.

Alas, South Bend villagewas almost doomed from itsbeginning because of floodsand Indian raids. A group of

soldiers bringing settlersfrom North Bend on a boatwas attacked from the shoreon its way to South Bend onMay 21, 1789 - most likely inthe area of what is now Sayl-er Park. Six soldiers werekilled and two settlers wereinjured.

Indians killed DavidDeMint, the owner of lot No.1 in South Bend, on his prop-erty in 1790. In 1791, Capt.John Matson and settlersGeorge Cullom, William Full-er and Fuller’s son werepassing near South Bendvillage when they were at-tacked. All made their es-cape except young Fullerwho was captured. He waslater returned to his familyduring the exchange of pris-oners at the Treaty of Green-ville in 1795.

Then in 1792, a flood de-stroyed the stockade andmany houses in South Bend.Even though the stockadewas rebuilt, many of the 20families moved back toNorth Bend or rebuilt onhigher ground.

Nov. 25 questionWould you feel safe travel-

ing to Europe in light of the Parisattacks? What would it take tomake you feel safe there?

“Had this question beenasked even two years ago myanswer would have been asimple ‘sure.’ However, inlight of the ever-increasing au-dacity of radical Islamistgroups (yes Obama, youshould use that label), I wouldbe extremely uncomfortabletraveling in Europe with thatall too identifiable dark bluepassport. It is a shame that somany innocents have beenkilled in such violent manners.It is a shame that it takesevents with the magnitude of9/11 or Paris or London trains

or US embassies or hotels inMali to wake more of theworld up to the ever-increas-ing threat radical Islamists in-sist is good religion. It is a

shame that we can’t all justlearn to get along with eachother. Let us hope an pray forreal leadership to guide usthrough and beyond the ter-rorism quagmire.”

M.J.F.

“I would not feel safe trav-eling to Europe or for that mat-ter any other foreign countryexcept Canada. I have felt thisway since 9/11 and these ter-rorist attacks such as Paris re-confirm my fears. Europe isbeing over run with refugeesfrom the Middle East. Oddhow so many are trying to getout of these Muslim countries;yet they are not headed to Du-bai or Qatar. Go Figure!”

Oak Hills has a reliableblend of youth and experience,which already proved it cancompete at the conference andpostseason level.

The boys will be led juniorJared Cox, a two-time districtqualifier, who helps score in amultitude of races. Ninth-yearcoach Katie Hunter said Coxcan swim all the strokes. Coxearned third-team in theGreater Miami Conferencelast season on a relay team.

Senior Andrew Freemanwill help out in the distancefreestyle races, in addition tothe breaststroke. Senior Tom-my Gerde is experienced andspecializes in the breaststroke.Sophomore Nikola Misic is aburner who shines in the sprintraces. Sophomores Neil Rob-ertson and Jack Bryan areyoung and fast, both shouldhelp provide stability in a num-ber of races.

Hunter said her team has anice blend of experiencedleaders and fast newcomerswho will be asked to help re-place some of the talent sen-iors lost to graduation afterlast season.

“Boys are always able to fillin those shoes; we have kidsthat will make a difference fill-ing in some of those spots (va-cated by graduation),” Huntersaid. “They always work hard,push each other and give eachother some good competitionin practice.”

The Highlanders open theseason Dec. 2 at home againstColerain.

For the first time in roughlythree decades, Elder has a newswim coach in Brad Ohmer.

Ohmer, a first-year highschool head coach, actuallyswam at Elder for his prede-cessor, John Book, who re-mains on the Panthers’ staff asan assistant coach.

Ohmer said the Panthers

should have “kind of a solidteam this year.”

Last season, Elder qualifiedthe 200 medley relay and 200freestyle relays to the districtmeet as well as one individualin junior Paxton Kelley, who’s atwo-time district qualifier.

Ohmer said Paxton special-izes in the 50 and 100 freestyleraces, but he’s an all-aroundswimmer, who’s able to help ina variety of strokes.

“As needed, he’ll fill in onthe relays in events where weneed him; I see him swimmingin different events to have himsort of round out his (potential)in other events,” said Ohmer.

Paxton’s older brother, Dun-can, is a senior co-captain whowas a member of last season’sdistrict relay teams. BrianHuhn is another senior co-cap-tain, and Ohmer said he wasnot surprised Huhn receivedas many captain votes as hedid. “Brian’s not the fastestswimmer, but he’s a great lead-er.”

Expectations are high forsophomore Eric Bley after a

solid freshman season. “Coach Book told me (Eric)

really came on at the end oflast year,” Ohmer said, addingthey hope he continues to getbetter.

“We’ve got 25 swimmersthis year, which is probablyone of the bigger teams we’vehad in the last decade,” saidOhmer. “We have five swim-mers who have never compet-ed before. I even get in the wa-ter and practice with the new-er swimmers.”

Ohmer said the older guyshave really helped the youthcome along, especially in theweight room.

Elder has two divers in ju-nior Jake Wells, who was theteam’s only diver last season,and Christian Distasi. Wells,who dives year round on a clubteam, was a district qualifierlast season.

Elder starts its season onDec. 8 at Princeton. The Bestof the West meet is Dec. 15 atthe Gamble Nippert YMCA.

Oak Hills sophomore Eliza-beth Cron returns to the divingboard this winter in search of anencore performance followingher freshman season in whichshe finished fifth in the state atthe Division I diving competi-tion.

Cron was the first Oak Hillsdiver to make state since 1992,and she also broke the GreaterMiami Conference dive record,as well as the six and 11-diveOak Hills records.

Oak Hills swimming coachKatie Hunter said Cron hasbeen working more in the deepwater pool, and the Highlandershave added a competitiveschedule, which should helpCron in an effort to return tostate.

In the water, the Highlanderslost their only district qualifierfrom last season to graduation.Senior Candace Sheehan swimsthe backstroke and will attemptto make districts for the firsttime in her career. Senior JenPeters is a dynamic swimmerwho can do a bunch of differentstrokes. Senior Samantha Sa-vard is a freestyle sprinter withexperience. Senior Bonnie La-Grange excels in the 500 free-style and the breaststroke.

Freshman Sydney Pelzerand Maggie Grote have beenimpressive early in their highschool swimming careers, saidHunter.

Hunter added that she ex-pects several other girls to con-tribute throughout the season.

“They work really well to-gether,” Hunter said. “They’re ahard-working group. They allstarted together new as a fresh-man; they’ve really supportedeach other and grown as a teamand individuals.”

At this point in the season,Hunter is trying to impress onher team that they’ll “get out ofit what they put into it.”

Mercy has a big team boilingin the waters of Westwood. Andthe Bobcats could be in for an-other run to the state meet.

“At 26 swimmers, this is thelargest swim team Mercy hashad in recent years,” saidfourth-year coach Kim Hogue.

The Bobcats will have to re-place last season’s state qualifi-

er, Megan Buse, who graduated.Luckily, Mercy is loaded withreturning swimmers. Senior co-captains Amanda Scola, RosieKnight and Olivia Bley will leadthe way. Scola is a three-timedistrict qualifier who special-izes in distance freestyle andbackstroke. Knight swimsbackstroke and butterfly, whileBley competes in distance free-style and backstroke.

Also keep an eye on juniorLauren Buse, sophomore JuliaBley and freshman Katy Elson.Buse was a district qualifier lastseason and swims breaststrokeand individual medley. Elsoncan swim freestyle, backstrokeor butterfly, and Julia was also adistrict qualifier last season infreestyle and breaststroke.

The Bobcats also got contri-butions from seniors BaileyWills, Grace Mazza, MariaFreudiger, Sierra Bellissemo;juniors Maria Busken, LamiaDixon, Emily Corso; and sopho-mores Allison Moellinger,Claire Busken and Morgan Cun-ningham last season.

“We have a very spiritedgroup and a lot of fresh facesthis year,” said Hogue. “We’relooking to keep improving andlook forward to a fun, produc-tive and fast season.”

The Seton swim team will goas its seniors go. The Saints areled by seven seniors, describedby third-year coach Anne Hay-how as “great leaders, hardworkers and really good exam-ples of student athletes.”

St. Xavier High School'sswim team has, for a long time,held the state podium in astranglehold. The Bombershave cultivated and sustainedone of the most impressive pro-grams the area 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, tomake way for former assistantTim Beerman to take over ashead coach. Beerman was pre-viously a head coach at Ursu-line Academy.

“It’s worth mentioning thatthis team is 100 membersstrong and while we certainlycan point to some of our topsswimmers at the state level,”Beerman said, “the focus of theteam is really about helping ev-eryone discover and reach thepotential they have.”

Junior Grant House is with-out question the fastest swim-mer in state. House has alreadywon four individual statechampionships (two as a fresh-man, two as a sophomore), andhe’s helped on a number ofstate championship relayteams. Last year, he won the100 and 200 freestyle races atstate.

Senior Matt Slabe, also anindividual state qualifier,

swam on the 400 freestyle re-lay team that won a state titlelast year. Junior Luke Sobolew-ski’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 the Bomb-ers win a water polo statechampionship. Sophomore Jus-tin Grender was another differ-ence maker at state last year, aswas sophomore Nicholas Pere-ra.

Beerman has also been very

impressed by freshman JakeFoster.

“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. Itis a talented team, but we’re ex-cited to see how far that talentcan take us as a team. We cer-tainly hope with good healthand good training that we canreturn to state and do well.There are any number of indi-viduals (outside of the swim-mers mentioned above) on thisteam who can contribute to our

success.” For the last quarter century,

La Salleswim coach Mike Lien-hart has been the swim coachfor the Lancers. In his 25th sea-son, Lienhart has another expe-rienced and talented lineupthat could cut through the wa-ter for the podium this season.

But, to do that, La Salle willhave to replace some keyswimmers.

“We graduated seven sen-iors who had major impacts onvarsity,” said Lienhart, whoadded there are only 21boys onthe roster this year and sevenof those are again seniors.

The Lancers return four dis-tricts qualifiers from last sea-son in senior Ethan Stock, ju-nior Anthony Hale, junior Da-vid Orth and sophomore ColeTrotta, who trains year roundin the sport.

“The largest class on theteam is seniors (seven), whomhave all had varsity swimmingexperience,” said Lienhart.

La Salle also has experi-enced contributors returningin sophomore Daniel Nader,senior Cameron Nichols, sen-ior Randall Ellis, senior AlexHouser, senior Aaron Keller,senior Daniel Lepsky and sen-ior Sam Moore.

Lienhart said his team hasalready exhibited a “very posi-tive work ethic and determina-tion.” For the Lancers to have astrong season, “many untestedunderclassmen are going tohave to fill varsity roles,” saidLienhart.

The Lancers have big meetson Dec. 2 against Oak Hills,Dec. 15 at the Best of the Westmeet, and the Greater CatholicLeague meet Feb. 3.

The senior leaders are AllieBihl, Mia Bianco, MackenzieDugan, Jessica Hayhow, Syd-ney Hoffmann, McKennaMoehring and Isabella Timon.

Coach Hayhow said of herseniors, “They’re all involved inmultiple extracurricular andservice clubs at Seton, as well asbeing dedicated swimmers.”

The work ethic is also a con-stant at Seton. This season, Hay-how and her staff have em-ployed some different tech-niques to have the Saints in thebest shape possible.

“We have challenged thegirls with dryland and moreyardage (training) already thisyear, and we’ve seen improve-ments in both the experiencedswimmers and in the girls whoare new to the sport,” said Hay-how. “The seniors are great ex-amples and teachers to theyounger girls.”

Hayhow also said the plan isto work through the season and“hope to build towards qualify-ing individuals and relays fordistricts this year.”

SHORT HOPS

Adam Baum and Nick RobbeCommunity Press staff

PIQUA – La Salle’s underdogrole lasted for a half Fridaynight in a consistent rain at Piq-ua in a Division II state semifi-nal.

For the first time this post-season, La Salle (12-2) needed adefinitive second half to comeback and beat Perrysburg (13-1)49-28 to win its ninth consecu-tive playoff game and book a re-turn trip to the state final nextweekend against Massillon Per-ry (12-2). La Salle outscored Per-rysburg 35-7 in the second halfto pull away from the YellowJackets.

It was the defense that jump-started La Salle’s come-from-behind win, which featured a21-0 La Salle edge in the thirdquarter alone. With his teamtrailing 21-14 following inter-mission, La Salle junior two-way standout Jarell White re-turned an interception 39 yardsfor a touchdown to tie the game21-21 with 8:18 left in the thirdquarter.

“Right off the bat (in the sec-ond half), we set the tempo,”said first-year La Salle coachJim Hilvert. “Defensively, turn-overs, we start smacking peoplearound, being physical on de-fense. We contained the quar-terback. I’m so proud of the wayour defense responded ... wesettled down, 35-7 in the secondhalf. We were playing Lancerfootball. I’m proud of our guys.”

Two plays later, junior defen-sive back TreSean Smith, whofinished with two interceptions,stepped in front of another Per-rysburg pass and La Salle’s bigoffensive line led senior NickWatson on a 1-yard quarterbacksneak to give La Salle its firstlead of the game 28-21 with 4:48to play in the third quarter.

A three-and-out for Perrys-burg, followed by two big playsfrom La Salle seniors JeremyLarkin and Josh Gebing set Wat-son up for another rushingtouchdown to give La Salle a 35-21 lead after three quarters.

Hilvert said he told his teamat halftime, “We gotta go get it.Don’t wait around for anybodyelse. We gotta grab it and go

take it.”With 10:24 left in the game,

Perrysburg senior quarterbackTrevor Hafner scrambled for a36-yard touchdown to cut intoLa Salle’s lead, 35-28.

The Lancers went to theground and put Perrysburgaway with a Larkin touchdownrun to make it 42-28 with 3:31left in the game. Larkin, who be-came the Greater CatholicLeague South’s all-time leadingrusher in the game, added a 21-yard touchdown run late in thefourth quarter. Larkin finishedwith 161yards rushing on 16 car-ries with three touchdowns.

Larkin said the Lancers re-sponded in the second half andbegan playing “like it was ourlast game.”

“It’s incredible,” said Larkin,who’s committed to UC. “To bein this position, to play 30 gameswithin two years. I’m gonna goout there next week and leave itall on the line, make the most ofour days and just enjoy the mo-ment.”

Perrysburg, which finished

the regular season ranked No. 1in the state’s final AssociatedPress state poll (La Salle wasNo. 4), got on the board first af-ter a Watson interception on theLancers’ first possession of thegame. Senior running back JoshHaynes gave Perrysburg a 7-0lead with a 2-yard touchdownrun with 6:45 left in the firstquarter.

A second straight three-and-out from La Salle’s offense, fol-lowed by a 90-yard scoringdrive, capped by a 26-yardtouchdown run by Hafner, thatleft the Lancers uncharacteris-tically trailing 14-0 with 2:39 leftin the first quarter. It’s the larg-est deficit La Salle’s faced thispostseason.

La Salle had problems slow-ing down the Yellow Jackets’dual-threat attack offense in thefirst quarter. Hafner, who gaveLa Salle fits for nearly threequarters, finished with 149 rushyards on 16 carries with twotouchdowns. Hafner was 17 of27 for 193 yards, one touchdownand three interceptions.

“I think the first half we werea little uptight because theydidn’t think that was gonna hap-pen,” said Hilvert. “But, wedidn’t flinch. At halftime theysettled down, and kept pluggingaway.”

The two-touchdown deficitbrought La Salle’s offense tolife, which answered with adrive and a 5-yard touchdownrun by Watson, who finishedwith three rushing touchdowns.

Perrysburg went to the airfor its third score of the firsthalf, a 10-yard pass from Hafn-er to Connor Meredith gave theYellow Jackets a 21-7 lead with6:52 left in the first half.

Christian Turner recovereda sneaky onside attempt andJeremy Larkin got loose for a26-yard touchdown run to makethe score 21-14 with 5:15 beforehalftime.

La Salle squandered an op-portunity just before the break.The Lancers were pinned attheir own 1-yard line, 2:34 on theclock, and Josh Gebing caught a62-yard pass to flip the field. LaSalle had second-and-goal fromPerrysburg’s 1-yard line, but afalse start backed the Lancersup and senior Drue Chrisman’s23-yard field goal attempt drift-ed right as time expired in thefirst half.

Next weekend in Ohio Stadi-um, the Lancers will play their30th game in a two-season spanin an effort to win consecutivestate championships.

“It’s very, very exciting to berunning for a state champion-ship against great football inOhio, some of the best footballin the country,” said Hilvert.“To be able to play for a statechampionship, it’s tough to re-peat. It’s tough to win. I’m proudof my coaching staff. One of ourcoaches lost his dad last night,and our staff did a great job pre-paring our guys. Our kidsstayed with the plan and playedtheir butts off.”

The OHSAA confirmed thatLa Salle will meet MassillonPerry on Friday at Ohio State at8 p.m.

Larkin said next weekend’sstate final is “gonna be veryemotional, hopefully we cancome away with a win.”

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 personal

financialdata on theblack mar-ket. Theyuse thisdata to filefraudulenttax returnsusing vic-tims’names andSocial

Security numbers.People like Sandie, of

Cincinnati, who wroteme, “Identity issue withIRS holding up 2014 re-fund payment that couldbe used toward eye trans-plant medications. Calls

to 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 numberin 2013 and owes the IRS.

They filed their return inMarch of 2014 – we filedin April, 2014 and re-ceived a notice that wehad filed twice.”

Douglas says mattersgot a lot worse recently.

“We received a certi-fied mail stating, ‘Noticeof intent to seize yourstate tax refund or otherproperty’ if we fail topay…We are shockedthat the IRS can continueto harass us for debt thatwe’re not responsible for.They’ve never evenshown us the tax returnshowing that we owethem money for 2013. As

a 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 securityquestions and standardlockout 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 beenough data for consum-ers to determine howtheir personal informa-tion was used.

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.

all Kentuckians smoke. We lead the
