MADISONVILLE — The BraxtonCann Memorial Health Center in Madi-sonville will be undergoing a nearly $1million renovation project that will pro-vide access to dental services for peoplein underserved communities.

A $941,466 grant associated with theAffordable Care Act will pay for the newdental services to be added as well asrenovations to the facility, which is locat-ed at the intersection of Madison Roadand Whetsel Avenue.

“It’s a service that is needed,” Madi-sonville resident Doni Allen said aboutthe dental care. “It’s convenient for peo-ple around here.”

Allen said the facility is within walk-ing distance for a number of residents.

“If I need (dental care), I’ll definitelybe there,” she said.

The building, which is currentlyabout 7,000 square feet, will be expandedan additional 4,000 square feet. A vacantspace in the plaza next to the health cen-ter will be incorporated into the centeras part of the renovations.

A meeting room that the communitycan use for wellness education and otherpurposes will be added to the center, andmore exam rooms will also be added.

The center will continue to maintainits pharmacy, lab and Women, Infant andChildren program as well as the currentmedical services it offers.

Aesthetic improvements will also bemade such as painting and adding newflooring.

“I think we needed (this), especiallythe dental services,” said Phyllis Rich-ardson, health center coordinator.“There (are) not accessible dental (ser-vices) within walking distance for theresidents. We hope and expect the com-

munity to welcome this.”Braxton Cann is among 21 health cen-

ters, a number of which are school-based, operated by the city.

Bob Schlanz, chief financial officerfor Cincinnati Health Department, saidthe Braxton Cann facility serves an esti-mated 3,000 people in the Madisonvillecommunity. He said with the renova-

tions, it is anticipated that an additional1,000 to 1,500 people will be served.

Schlanz said the city at one point hadconsidered tearing down the current pla-za where the health center is located andbuilding a mixed-use development thatwould have included a new health centeras well as retail and office space in a va-cant area directly across from the cur-rent location.

However, the city was unable to fundthe project, which would have cost an es-timated $3 million.

Schlanz said the grant is expected tocover the renovation costs. However, hesaid if additional funding is required, thecity will investigate other grant-fundingoptions or private donations.

Shlanz said the renovations are ex-pected to be completed in a year.

A plan for a $2 million-plus trafficroundabout in Columbia Township somefive years in the making is dead at thehands of businesses and residents.

The Columbia Township Board ofTrustees had agreed to contribute$446,000 in matching funds to a $1.76 mil-lion grant from the Ohio-Kentucky-Indi-ana Regional Council of Governmentsfor a roundabout at the intersection ofBramble Avenue and Plainville Road onthe township line with the Cincinnatineighborhood of Madisonville.

A roundabout is a circular intersec-tion in which vehicles move continuous-ly in one direction around a central is-land.

Columbia Township had hoped a land-scaped roundabout in the Bramble Ave-nue-Plainville Road area would maketraffic flow more easily and encourageeconomic-development there.

Then came a recent public meeting.“The businesses on Plainville Road

and Bramble Avenue and the residentsin the area of the proposed roundaboutno longer support the path included in

our comprehensive planto help improve the busi-ness district and want tosee something different,”Columbia Township Ad-ministrator Mike Lemonsaid.

“We do not want toforce a project on the

businesses and people that they do notwant.”

Columbia Township will update itscomprehensive plan next year, Lemonsaid.

“The township will seek the commu-nity’s thoughts and input regarding thefuture of the Madison Place/PlainvilleRoad area as well as the rest of the town-

ship,” Lemon said.“It will reflect the

changing environmentand new direction fromthe input of residents andbusinesses.”

OKI awarded Colum-bia Township the round-about grant in 2010, whenthe township hoped tobuild it where Plainvilleand Madisonville roadsmeet Murray Avenue atthe border of ColumbiaTownship and Marie-mont.

When the townshipwas unable to sell Marie-mont on the idea – despitethe fact that Mariemontwould not have to ante upmatching funds – Colum-bia Township found Cin-cinnati a willing partnerfor a roundabout in theBramble Avenue-Plain-ville Road area.

The estimated cost ofthe project was $2.2 mil-lion, which includedright-of-way acquisition,geotechnical assess-ments, environmental re-view, storm drainage,lighting, utility reloca-tion and construction.

Columbia Townshiphad not expected con-struction to begin before2017.

“(Scrapping theroundabout) is a win forthe residents, saving$500,000 and a small busi-

ness and maybe another,”said resident Carl Jones,who opposed the round-about and who recentlyfailed to win a seat on theColumbia TownshipBoard of Trustees.

On Nov. 3, Chris Kriti-kos best-ed Jonesby a voteof 692 to543 for afour-yearterm onthe boardof trust-

ees beginning in January.It’s the seat now held

by trustee President Ste-phen Langenkamp, whodid not seeking re-elec-tion.

Kritikos will join in-cumbents Vice PresidentSusan Hughes and trus-tee David Kubicki, whoseterms run through 2017,on the Columbia Town-ship Board of Trustees.

Earlier this year,Jones also spoke outagainst a 5.1-mill wastelevy that Columbia Town-ship voters approved by avote of 857 to 503 on Nov.3.

Estimates are that itwill annually cost town-ship homeowners $178.50per $100,000 valuation oftheir homes and generatejust above $614,000 a yearfor Columbia Township.

Cincinnati votersspoke. They trounced aproperty tax to supportparks, 59 percent to 41percent. What does thismean for Mayor JohnCranley, who championedthe tax, for big asks fromthe public likely comingnext year and for parkprojects on the drawingboard.

What does thismean for Mayor Cranley?

No doubt about it,Cranley was the face ofthe tax. He proposed itand he defended it. He’sapproaching the mid-mark of his first term asmayor and there are al-ready rumblings aboutwho might run againsthim.

Critics have said if thelevy failed, it would be areferendum on the may-or’s leadership style. Hetook some flak when a sto-ry circulated that hethreatened civil rightsleader Marian Spencer,who had supported thelevy and then changed hermind.

But there are two yearsuntil voters head back tothe booth to decide themayor’s race. Cranley hastime to make adjust-ments. The overwhelm-ing issue – among manythat emerged in the parkslevy debate – was a per-ceived lack of public in-put. Going forward, Cran-ley may see a need to lis-ten more, something thathelped him get elected inthe first place.

What does thismean for future taxproposals?

Some people said thevoted “no” simply be-cause the parks measurewas a tax. That has impli-cations for future ballotmeasures.

Other taxes – one forPreschool Promise, an-

other to support the bussystem and maybe even aschool levy – are beingbandied around for nextyear.

The question remains,will people vote for pro-posals that serve thegreater good or are theyconcerned mainly on howmuch they’re paying intaxes?

A criticism has beenthat there hasn’t been big-ger conversation aboutcity priorities. That con-versation needs to hap-pen.

What does thismean for the parks?

The vote came amidquestions raised over thePark Board’s handling offunds and its degree oftransparency.

Going forward, it’s notclear what might happento the 16 parks projectsthat would have receivedsupport from the levy, norwhether the Park Boardand park managers WillieCarden and MarijaneKlug will operate more inthe public eye. Already,Cranley has pledged thecity would audit the ParkBoard and Parks Founda-tion, which could affecthow parks leadership op-erates and help identifyfunding sources for abacklog of maintenanceprojects.

As for the projectsthemselves, the levy’s de-feat means there will beno permanent yearlysource of revenue to payfor them. Will any of themmove forward, and if so,when?

“Cincinnati Children’sis so honored by thefriendship of the Leonidasfamily and the support we

receive from the Leoni-das Foundation and Polofor Babies. As a GivingHope event, all of the pro-ceeds from the event di-rectly support our Perina-tal Institute. That meanseach participant and do-nor is helping to makesure our tiniest patientsget the care they need tobe able to thrive. They aretruly helping to changethe outcome for our fam-ilies,” said Megan Boes-ing, Cincinnati Children’sDonor Relations Officer.

Clark Montessori School

» After a 16-year absence, T.S. Monkreturned to Cincinnati for the sole pur-pose of talking to and playing with theClark Montessori Jazz Band.

On Nov. 9, Monk, the son of the lateThelonious Monk and a famous jazzdrummer in his own right, conducted a90-minute master class, open to all ClarkMontessori band members. Three hourhours later, he played as the guest drum-mer with the Clark Montessori JazzBand in concert.

During the master class, Monkshared his thoughts on what jazz is andwhat it means to be a jazz musician.

“Jazz is not a technique. It’s a philoso-phy. Jazz is all about improvisation. I canteach a monkey to play a melody, but Ican’t teach him to ‘play jazz,’ Monk said.“A monkey has no philosophy. Philoso-phy uses technique as a facilitator forthe musician to tell his story.”

Throughout the class, Monk playedthe drums to illustrate his points. A jazzmusician has to know how to be quiet,how to play really slow and how to playreally fast.

“You build a ‘vocabulary’ that in-volves everything. Then, with your ‘bagof technique tricks,’ you can improviseand put your own ideas and thoughts tothe music.”

The more Monk spoke of the “philoso-phy of jazz,” the more it became clearhow perfectly jazz fits into the ClarkMontessori “philosophy of education”.

“Jazz embodies aspirations to be in-cluded, to be relevant, to matter.”

Montessori gives students the mes-sage that they belong - that their school islike a second family.

“The objective in jazz is to be your-self. What makes great jazz musicians is,in the face of pressure to conform, togather up the courage to be themselves.”

Montessori encourages students to beindependent, promotes spirit and imagi-nation, builds their sense of self-esteem,and helps students learn how to questionand explore ideas independently.

“Relentless pursuit of technique willnot make you a great jazz musician.”

Montessori teaches students to think,not just memorize and forget. Ratherthan presenting students with the rightanswers, Montessori educators lead stu-dents to discover the answers for them-selves.

“If you listen to and study jazz, youcan play anything, anywhere.”

The Montessori approach is often de-scribed as an “education for life”.

Later that evening, members of theClark Montessori Jazz Band had the

once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play“in concert” with one of the greatest jazzdrummers of all time. The program in-cluded two Thelonious Monk pieces,with T.S. Monk on the drums with TylerMarsh on piano and Ethan Marsh onbass, as well as other pieces where theentire band played with T.S. Monk.

Although the students were nervousand awestruck, Monk soon put them atease. He joked with them, let them setthe beat and offered words of encour-agement and praise.

“What your kids are doing - playing

solos, improvising, just being up here - ishard. You should be very proud of them,”Monk said.

After the concert, Monk graciouslyposed for pictures with band membersand their families, then autographeddozens of photographs and programs.Proceeds from the donations-only con-cert and the sale of autographed T.S.Monk photos benefited Clark Montesso-ri Music Boosters.

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.

The people of AndersonTownship seemingly don’tcare that they’re about tobecome an upper middle classmining community.

There will be no big influxof jobs or windfall tax reve-nues, just 500 acres of un-derground mining, blastingand 20,000 tons of ammoniumnitrate in their back yard.Anderson Township is notbeing a good neighbor. An-derson Township trustees donot represent the interests oftheir residents. Their resi-dents and the communities ofIndian Hill, Newtown, Ter-race Park and Milford haveasked them to not allow Mar-tin Marietta blast for lime-stone.

This is not about AndersonTownship’s autonomy. This isabout Martin Marietta payingoff backroom discussions to

push theiragenda. That’scalled autoc-racy, not au-tonomy. RussJackson’sstatementironicallycites autono-my as impor-tant for prop-erty values.People of An-

derson Township it’s time tolet your trustees know a lime-stone mine does not protectyour property values - or yourchildren.

Don’t think it’s a big deal?Here are facts about MartinMarietta and their plannedblasting:

» Martin Marietta willdetonate explosives eachworkday- when our kids arewalking to and from school.

» They’ll store 20,000 tonsof ammonium nitrate on site(Timothy McVeigh used 5,000pounds in the Oklahoma Citybombing).

» Tons of explosives will betransported to the site onlocal roads past homes, storesand parks.

» Blasting will producefugitive dust and other airpollutants increasing alreadyhigh rates of asthma and oth-er respiratory issues.

» There will be up to 500truck trips a day.

» There will be the noise ofrock crushers, conveyers andbackup horns.

» Drinking water disrup-tion from impacts to wells andcisterns is likely.

» There will be detrimentaleffects on the environment,wildlife and the landscape.

» The permit, once grant-

ed, would be good for 50years.

Anderson trustees andMartin Marietta promise tofollow all the rules that theysay protect communities fromthe above. Ask Carmel, Indi-ana, how that has worked outfor them. Trustees in Carmelhave repeatedly tried to en-force ordinances regulatingMartin Marietta mining oper-ations; each time Martin Mar-ietta has sued them, got in-junctions and won.

Not worried about ammoni-um nitrate? The West Texasexplosion in 2013 killed 15people, injured more than 160,and damaged or destroyedmore than 150 buildings. Itwas caused by ammoniumnitrate. U.S. law requires anybusiness stockpiling morethan 400 pounds of ammoni-um nitrate to register with the

Department of HomelandSecurity.

Timothy McVeigh used5,000 pounds of ammoniumnitrate plus 500 blasting capsfor half of the components ofhis bomb. He stole the blast-ing caps from a Martin Mari-etta mining site. Andersonwill have amonium nitrateand blasting caps on site; theAnderson Trustees will beresponsible for their storageand security. Mr. Jackson,skip autonomy and explainhow you will keep us safefrom 20,000 tons of ammoni-um nitrate! Our safety is inthe hands Anderson Townshiptrustees.

Mr. Jackson, now that youhave court approved autono-my, use it for good - use it toblock Martin Marietta.

Nov. 25 question

Would you feel safe trav-eling to Europe in light ofthe Paris attacks? Whatwould it take to make youfeel safe there?

“Had this question beenasked even two years ago myanswer would have been asimple ‘sure.’ However, inlight of the ever-increasingaudacity of radical Islamistgroups (yes Obama, you

should 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 man-ners. It is a shame that it takesevents with the magnitude of9/11 or Paris or London trainsor US embassies or hotels inMali to wake more of theworld up to the ever-increas-ing threat radical Islamists

insist is good religion. It is ashame that we can’t all justlearn to get along with eachother. It will be a real shame ifwe end up next Novemberwith another weak sympa-thizer living at 1600 Penn-sylvania. Let us hope an prayfor real 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

matter any other foreigncountry except Canada. I havefelt this way since 9/11 andthese terrorist attacks such asParis reconfirm my fears.Europe is being over run withrefugees from the MiddleEast. Odd how so many aretrying to get out of these Mus-lim countries; yet they are notheaded to Dubai or Qatar. GoFigure!”

I must disagree with Mr. EdwardLevy’s column - radical steps toreduce violence.

We have not come up with amethod of keeping guns out of thehands of criminals and the mentally

ill. To propose thatwe arm more citi-zens in order to re-duce violence cer-tainly seemscounter-productive.Cursory researchreveals that in othercountries where gunlaws have beentightened, violentcrime has been sig-nificantly reduced.Mental health is avery complex sub-

ject and our police need more train-ing in this.

His advice to hold nearest of kinresponsible indicates he has neverdealt with our justice system. I havea friend whose 16-yea-old daughteris mentally unbalanced and addictedto drugs. Mom can’t tie her up orlock her in a cage unless she wantsto face child abuse charges. Thereare not enough mental health facil-ities and the ones that exist cost$40,000 for six months of treatment,after insurance. Most are not lockeddown and the teenager can simplywalk away any time. Once they haverun from a facility, they won’t takethem back because of liability is-sues.

While this young lady is not yetviolent, she is showing signs of be-coming so. The courts have turnedher back out onto the streets aftershe said in front of a judge, “I justwant to die.” They put an electronicmonitor on her, which she wore forabout two weeks before simply de-stroying it and going on the runagain. How in the world could youhold this parent responsible? She is

doing everything in her power to gethelp and none is forth coming. Par-ents are not denying responsibilityfor their children but they are beingdenied any real solutions.

The ideas about our correctionalsystem are horrifying particularlyin light of the number of people whohave been incarcerated and laterfound innocent of a violent crime.Why give the criminal a Bible, butdeny him any form of love or for-giveness. There is nothing evenremotely humane about these sug-gestions.

As to the writers of the SecondAmendment, “knowing what theywere doing,” I laugh! This has beenone of the most misunderstood andhotly debated amendments from thetime it was written. It is directedtoward “a regulated militia” - writ-ten to guarantee the right of citizensto revolt. The Supreme Court hasruled that this extends to an individ-ual’s right to bear arms, but I thinkthis may yet come up again for de-bate as to whether it covers theright to carry concealed weapons.

Simply put, we need better men-tal health care and an end to theconcealed carry. If a neighbor whoseems mentally “off balance” startswaving a weapon or talking aboutrevenge, I will report it - and hope-fully prevent another tragedy. I ammuch more comfortable holding to“if you see something, say some-thing.”

Not if you see something…. shootit!

MADISONVILLE — SevenHills has a new leader at thehelm of the swimming programand he has one of the toughestjobs in sports: taking over a pro-gram that won a state title theyear before.

Brandon Williams inherited ateam that brought home thefirst team title in school historylast year in the waters at CTBranin Natatorium. The Sting-ers accumulated 209 total pointsin the meet.

“I am very excited to seewhat Seven Hills can achievethis season,” Williams said. “Al-though it is my first season as acoach for Seven Hills, I see a lotof promise in the team. Thisyear we have a total of 25 swim-mers with 13 returning statequalifiers.”

Seven Hills senior MatthewMarquardt, who recently signedto swim at Princeton University,was second in the 100 yard but-terfly and 100 yard backstrokeat state last season.

Junior Tim Hagemeister wasfourth in the 500 yard freestyle.

Marquardt not only scored 34points by himself in the statemeet, he also contributed to 80more with wins in the boys 200medley relay and 400 freestylerelay.

By most accounts, Mar-quardt is in store for a similarperformance throughout thisseason.

“I have been following hisclub meet performances and itlooks like he is gearing up foranother great season,” Williamssaid.

MARIEMONT – The War-riors capped a record-break-ing season. The girls swimteam placed second in the OhioDivision II state meet – thehighest finish in program his-tory.

As a team, Mariemont qual-ified for 18 out of 19 possible fi-nals events at state. And theyare looking for more despitelosing 12 seniors includingClaire Gilmore.

Sadie DeCamp, LeahDupre, Brooke Woellert andRachel Munschauer all swamat the state meet and bring thatexperience to the table.

“Hopefully those teammembers who return will befired up to not only make a re-turn trip to state or districts,but improve on their perfor-mances,” coach Kevin Manesssaid.

There’s a good feeling sur-rounding the St. Ursula swimteam. You can see it in headcoach Ann Gartner when shetalks about her swimmers.

That good feeling can alsobe seen from the results in thepool. The Bulldogs tallied270.5 points in the state meetlast year, a second-place fin-ish. Upper Arlington won theteam title with 285 points.

“There aren’t words to de-scribe how proud I am of thisteam,” Gartner said followingthe meet. “They performedabove expectations. To gofrom 12th last year, to runner-up is an amazing journey. It’ssuch a special group of youngladies. I couldn’t be moreproud.”

The Bulldogs peppered thestandings and it eventuallycame down to the last coupleevents before the Bearsgrabbed the lead and wouldn’tlet go.

This year, SUA is looking tobe as good or better. Sure, theteam lost major influenceslike Marissa DelGado, butGartner is hopeful that theyounger swimmers pick upDelGado’s characteristics.

Five out of nine swimmerson last year’s state team werefreshmen or sophomores.

Josie Grote, AlexandraWall, Anna DelGado, MollyZilch, Hannah Foster and Ash-ley Voelkerding bring state ex-perience into this season.

“The future is very bright,”Gartner said. “Hopefully, weuse this as motivation to comeback here next year and do thebest we can.”

Brandon Williams takesover Seven Hills for AllieHenges.

It’s not quite what he inheri-ts with the boys team, but hedoes have some good femaleswimmers.

Williams should have LucyCallard, Claire McDonald andSydney Miccoli, among oth-ers, at his disposal this season.Callard was a state placer intwo events as a freshmanwhile McDonald and Miccoliare district participants.

Summit Country Day canreturn most of its district qual-ifiers from last year.

Allison Kinross, Cate Marx,Hannah Fassler, MaddieAmend and Avery Walter allhave at least one year left.

The program also returnsits top diver.

Purcell Marian’s girlsteam is led by senior BynasiaThomas and junior RebekahHowe. The AquaCavs will bean otherwise young squad.

“This team will be heavilyweighted in the underclass-men area,” said coach EricaSchomaker. “We are hopingfor growth and develop-ment.”

Clark’s girls team is led bysenior Raeya Gordon. Thelone senior on the Cougars’girls team hopes to go out witha trip to state. Juniors MacieWoodward, Gabby Gaben-nesch, Isabel Ganz, and MaryClaire Fibbe complementGordon.

“Our team is extremelyhardworking and we areready to continue to make aname for ourselves in theswimming world,” said Wor-rall.

Walnut Hills’ girls teamgraduated its two state quali-fiers, but returns an experi-enced core led by CaseyBecker and Melanie Cashell.Emma Reed, Skye Lewis, Ka-ra Benedict, Shelly Gilman,and Shelby Ewing should stepup to fill the void left by theEagles’ state participants.This year’s team is more ex-perienced than last year’ssquad and should feature adeeper rotation of point-scor-ers.

“We are really looking for-ward to what this season is go-ing to bring,” said Eaglescoach Jen Golden.

Audrey Capannari quali-

fied for state last season indiving. She transferred fromSt. Ursula to Walnut Hills andcould break the ECC recordset last season by Walnut’sJessica Doughman.

A newish era begins forCincinnati Country Day asJana Westhoven takes overthe program from formerhead coach Benson Spurling.She served as the top assis-tant last year.

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

To do so, someone needs tostep in and fill Allie Wooden’sspot as that top swimmer.

Last season, Wooden wonstate titles in the 100 and 200freestyle races. She wasnamed female swimmer ofthe meet and named MiamiValley Conference girlsswimmer of the year.

She currently swims atSouthern California.

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

Mac Lewis was the lone sen-ior on the Mariemontboys teamand will be missed greatly as hequalified for state in four eventsfor four straight years.

It could be up to the likes ofseniors Chris Spooner and Col-lin Widecan and juniors HaydenSeeger and Scott Overbey tohelp fill the void.

“Hopefully those team mem-bers who return will be fired upto not only make a return trip tostate or districts, but improveon their performances,” coachKevin Maness said followingthe season.

From a diving standpoint,Charles Schooler should be backfor another strong year. Heplaced 11th in the state.

According to Maness, he be-came the first Mariemont boysdiver to advance to state in morethan 30 years when he qualifiedlast season.

He improved on his perfor-mance and is closer to reachingthe podium (top eight) at nextyear’s state meet. He broke aschool diving record that hadstood since 1979.

“Charles shows a lot of poten-tial for his next two seasons,”Maness told the Enquirer.

Summit Country Day has tolike the direction the program isheading.

Garrison Herfel and ScottKinross made the district meetas freshmen while Mitch Rein-hard, a ninth-grader at the time,finished 17th in the state compe-tition.

Reinhard becomes the team’stop diver, taking over the rolevacated by state championStewart Spanbauer.

“Having Stewart be the lead-er and having Emma (Hellman)and Mitch kind of coming up inhis shadow, it’s just done suchgreat things for Summit divingand our program,” coach SusanMaxwell said after the Division

II diving meet.With the way things are go-

ing, Maxwell and the SilverKnights could see more teammembers peppering the heatsheets at C.T. Branin Natatori-um this season.

Purcell Marian coach EricaSchomaker was the GCL Co-edcoach of the year last season,but will be rebuilding this year.The AquaCavs graduated sixseniors. The boys team will beled by sophomore Sam Schulth-eis and senior Matt Grafe.There will be plenty of spotsfilled by underclassmen.

“We are hoping for under-classmen to step up to lead thisyoung team this upcoming sea-son,” said Schomaker.

Clark Montessori is deter-mined to continue building upits swimming program. Theboys squad is a bit more experi-enced, led by seniors MatthewWright, Adam Oseas, and JacobFricker. Junior Jason Jarrold-Grapes should be the team’s top

performer. “Our team is very diverse

and everyone has differentstrengths,” said second-yearcoach Hanna Worrall. “We madea lot of progress last season andwe are ready to make more pro-gress this season.”

Walnut Hills has a newcoaching staff and experiencedswimmers. The boys team willbe led by Myles and CooperKeener, Daniel Cashell, WillBerlage, and Patrick Fuller. Za-chary Wong and Isaiah Valen-tine should emerge as key con-tributors.

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 Universitycommit, and Hodge, a Univer-sity of Wisconsin commit, willanchor the Crusaders’ relayteams. Expectations will be highfor this team in 2015-2016.

St. Xavier High School’sswim 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 DivisionI state championship (36th all-time) and the Bombers returnbuses full of top-tier talent in thewater.

The Bombers also rotated thecoaching carousel this year.Longtime head coach Jim Brow-

er moved from the head positionto an assistant, to make way forformer assistant Tim Beermanto take over as head coach. Beer-man was previously a headcoach at Ursuline Academy.

“It’s worth mentioning thatthis team is 100 members strongand while we certainly can pointto some of our tops swimmers atthe state level,” Beerman said,“the focus of the team is reallyabout helping everyone discov-er and reach the potential theyhave.”

Junior Grant House is with-out question the fastest swim-mer in state. House has alreadywon four individual state cham-pionships (two as a freshman,two as a sophomore), and he’shelped on a number of statechampionship relay teams. Lastyear, he won the 100 and 200freestyle races at state.

Senior Matt Slabe, also an in-dividual state qualifier, swam onthe 400 freestyle relay team thatwon a state title last year. JuniorLuke Sobolewski’s another ex-perienced swimmer who won astate title on the 200 medley re-lay last year. Junior CharlesLeibson was an individual statequalifier in two races last year,and just finished helping theBombers 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 veryimpressed by freshman JakeFoster.

“They’re just now learninghow good they can really be,”said Beerman. “Their effort lev-el is off the charts in terms ofwhat we’re asking of them. It is atalented team, but we’re excitedto see how far that talent cantake us as a team. We certainlyhope with good health and goodtraining that we can return tostate and do well. There are anynumber of individuals (outsideof the swimmers mentionedabove) on this team who cancontribute to our success.”
