For13 years, the churches ofMountAiry have been celebrat-ing Good Friday together.
TheirMount AiryWay of theCross onGood Friday is becom-ing a tradition for others, nowattracting people from acrossthe area.
From its beginning 13 yearsago, the commemoration of theLord’s passion and death was aMountAiry event andmembersof Mount Airy Churches werethe only participants. JeromeGabis, a member of Mount Ai-ry’s St. Therese Little FlowerChurch, says over the years,more and more people haveheard about it and joined in thisoutdoor Way of the Cross thatwinds its way along ColerainAvenue, Mount Airy’s chiefthoroughfare.
According to the event plan-ners, people from NorthernKentucky, Southeastern Indi-ana, downtown, and Western
Hills, and Colerain and Greentownships have come to prayfrom year to year.
“It’s not as old a tradition as
praying the steps up to MountAdams’ Immaculata Church,but it is as prayerful and stir-ring to those who walk the half-mile trek in the footsteps of Je-sus,” Gabis said.
Participants have said hav-ing different generations andchurch members carry theheavy cross together is a mov-ing experience and the idea thatthe cross is signed by partici-pants every year is a sign of thecontinuity of the faith.
This year’s event will beginat 3 p.m. Good Friday, April 18,at theTruthandDestinyChurch(formerly the Mount Airy Unit-edMethodistChurch)at2645W.North Bend Road, near theMount Airy Water Towers. Ithappens rain or shine. The pro-cession will end at the intersec-tionofColerainAvenueandKir-by Road.
People attending take turns
carrying the hefty cross, stop-ping along the way to recall thestory of Jesus’ death on GoodFriday. This year, Pastor LesleyJonesandmembersof theTruthandDestinyChurchwillpartici-pate. The church recently relo-cated from Northside to theMount Airy neighborhood.
Gabis says he finds the Wayof the Cross eventmoving in itsphysicality.
“You’re out in the weather,it’s a heavy cross, you’re bump-ing into people, it’s very physi-cal, just as the crucifixionwas,”he said. “You are feeling theweight of what happened. It en-gages the whole person, it’s notjust heady,” he said. “You feel it.As you walk it, it’s very prayer-ful.”
“We are inviting people fromacross the area to make a Good

St. Ignatius of Loyola School kickedoff an instrument campaign by invitingPete Ellerhorst, founder of the GreaterCincinnati Performing Arts Society, tospeak to fourth-grade students on howmusic influences and improves our lives.
Ellerhorst spoke about the advantagesof playing music and being in a band.“Whenyou are in a band, you are part of ateam. You don’t have to be a certain sizeor a fast runner to play. When you playmusic what matters is what is in yourheart and in your head,” he said.
Ellerhorst, the classically trained gui-tarist and long time Western Hills resi-dent, has been in the band The Remainsfor 27 years.

MONFORT HEIGHTS —Things are quite differ-ent this season for LaSalle High School seniorNick Boardman.
Asa juniorhewaspartof a senior-laden team,hitting in the middle ofthe order and playing hisfirst season of varsitybaseball.
Now he sits atop thelineup trying to set thetone for a Lancer teamthat features just threereturning players from2013, when they finishedsecond in the GreaterCatholic League behindMoeller.
“This year it’s becomemore about getting onbase because we have alot of good hitters whocangetmein,”Boardmansaid. “It’saboutgettingonbase,getting in, stealingacouple bags and lettingthem hit me in.”
The senior outfielderisn’t hitting at the top ofthe lineup by choice, butbynecessity,accordingtocoach Joe Voegele.
“Basically he was theonlyguywehad to fit thatrole,” the coach said.“There was no prepara-tion; it was his job. I’drather have him hit thirdif we had someone to fillthat spot at the top of thelineup.”
Things are workingout through the first fourgames from the leadoffspot, as he’s hitting .333with two RBI, three sto-len bases and five runsscored as of April 9.
“(The other team is)trying to get you out andget ahead of you so youget a lot more fastballs,but you’re still going upthere trying to find yourpitch and hitting it backup the box,” the seniorsaid. “That’s what youhave to do.”
Notonlyhashis spot inthe lineup changed, buthisroleontheteamhasaswell. After learning fromthe likes of former Lanc-ers Tyler Haubner andBrad Burkhart, it’s nowBoardman’s time to leadand Voegele likes whathe’s seen thus far.
“He’s one of the lead-ers. He played with someseniors last year thatwere leaders and he sawhowtheyreactedandhowtheytreatedotherpeople,so he tries to do the samething,” Voegele said, whohas 356 career wins.
“That’s what happens;you hope your seniors setthat tone and pass it on(to) the younger guys andthey pick up the torcheventually.”
Verbally committed tothe College of Mount St.Joseph, Boardmanshowed just how mental-lystronghewasoutof thegate last season. He be-ganhisfirstseasonofvar-sity baseball 0-for-15 atthe plate and still man-aged to join the .400 clubat La Salle, just one of 41players toeverdosoatLaSalle.
“He works harder athitting than 99 percent ofotherguys,”Voegelesaid.“That’s his strength. Youwatch him and he’ll doother things guys don’tdo.He’ll try to readpitch-es and watch other hit-ters. He’s kind of a realcerebral guy as far as hit-ting goes.”
His mental toughnessis sure to be tested againin2014as theyoungLanc-ers have their ups anddowns along the way, butBoardman has one thinghe wants his teammatesto know every time theytake the field.
“That we can win thisleague,” he said. “If yousaw last year we run-ruled Moeller and wecame in second in theGCL. I tell them we arejust as good. Everyonecomes insaying ‘lookhowgood Moeller is with allthese (Division I) guys.’Coming in knowing weare just as good as them,be tough and come outfired up every game andbe ready to go everygame.”

SPRINGFIELD TWP. —The word “cancer”strikes fear into thehearts of everybody, es-pecially those who direct-ly or indirectly knowsomebody affected by thedisease.
The St. Xavier HighSchool family was hithard in February 2013whenthen-juniorbaseballplayer Jordan McDo-noughwasdiagnosedwithHodgkin’s lymphoma - acancer of the lymphaticsystem that is part of theimmune system, accord-ing to mayoclinic.org.
After findinga lumponhis neck while sitting inbiology class on a Friday,McDonough went to thedoctor’s office afterschool and was momentsaway from being senthome without a diagnosisbefore doctors requestedan X-ray. That’s when theMcDonough family re-ceived the bad news.
“We waited a few min-utes and they came inwith a piece of paper facedown and said ‘we havesome bad news,’” McDo-nough said. “They found asoftball size mass in mychest. I didn’t really thinkit was real at first. Ithought it was a dream, aterrible nightmare atfirst.”
With four 21-day che-motherapy cycles in frontof him,McDonough knewhis junior season of Bom-ber baseball wouldn’thappen and worried howit would affect his schol-arship to The Ohio StateUniversity.
While life comes first,not being able to take thefield with his best friendsor play the game he loveswas a harsh reality while
he dealt with the treat-ment.
“That was really hard,especially being my ju-nior year and being mylast year with some of theguys I grew up with,” thecatcher said. “It wastough.”
The Buckeyes commu-nicatedwithhimabouthisscholarship early on.
“They actually camedown and told me when Iwas in my first cycle (ofchemo) that I didn’t haveanything to worry about,”McDonough said. “Nomatter if I can play base-ball again, they’ll keepmyscholarship just so I can
go to school.”The Buckeyes kept
theirwordasMcDonoughsigned hisNational Letterof Intent earlier this year.
Despite some serioushiccups along the way,McDonoughwasdeclared100 percent cancer free inAugust. While 13 sessionsof radiation remained infront of him, he and hisfamily continued a tradi-tion and celebrated whatbecame a memorable dayfor both the McDonoughand St. Xavier family.
“It was a good day,that’s for sure,” he said. “Iwill definitely rememberthat day for sure.The rou-
tine we had was on theseventh day when I wentback for chemo, I had acraving for Hooterswings, so I think we wentthere that day.”
Those wings helpedhim fly back to the base-ball field he loves.
At present, the senior
is hitting .167 through hisfirst 18 at-bats after notplaying in a high schoolbaseball game since May17, 2012.
“It’s just getting mytiming back,” the seniorsaid. “I’ve hit some ballshard - just right atpeople -and I’verun into somebadluck, but I’m definitelystaying positive.”
Staying positive isnothing new for McDo-nough; it’s what he did fornearly a year and a half
battling one of the scari-est diseases known toman.
“When you’re in thehospital and you see theother kids, plus one of myfriends’ dad had leukemiaand he ended up dying thesame week I was diag-nosed,” he said, “... all thatstuff helped me getthrough it, just knowingpeople out there haveworse things going onmore than I do.”

Move Family JusticeCenter to Mercy
Colerain’s Family JusticeCen-ter sounds like a nice service, butthe location, cost and overall re-sponsibility should change.
Currently, Colerain Townshiphandles the center located at theGroesbeck police station. Peoplefromthroughout the entire area –well beyond Colerain’s jurisdic-tion – are served by the center.
The financial responsibilityshould be handled on a county-wide basis and no longer just aColerain Township cost.
The emptyMercy Hospital onKipling Avenue is being consid-ered for several Hamilton Coun-ty agencies. Mercy is a largebuilding with generous parking.The location is well knownthroughout theareaandwouldbea more convenient site for thecenter.
Colerain’s Family JusticeCen-ter should move from the Groes-beckpolice station toMercyHos-pital.
The center should be fundedunder other governmental bud-gets rather than just ColerainTownship property owners pay-
ing for the police staff, organiza-tional costs, and maintenance ofthe building that serves custom-ers from throughout the area.

In my last column, I men-tioned Pro Seniors and theOmbudsman Program thatorganization provides in theGreater Cincinnati commu-nity. In talking with them, Iwas reminded of anothergreat program they offer,the Senior Medicare PatrolProject (SMP).
In 2002, Pro Seniors wasthe recipient of a federalgrant from the Administra-tion on Aging to provideeducation and outreach toseniors, their caregivers andthe public about Medicarefraud, waste and abusethrough the Senior MedicarePatrol Project (SMP).
Anne Fredrickson, pro-ject manager for the OhioSMP at Pro Seniors, sharedthat in its early years, theOhio SMP covered only thecounties of Clermont, Butler,Clinton, Hamilton andWar-ren counties. Over time, theOhio SMP evolved to coverall eighty eight countiesthroughout Ohio. “The OhioSMP at Pro Seniors is one of54 SMP’s nationwide.”
Fredrickson also reportedthat one SMP exists in everystate, the Islands and theDistrict of Columbia andthat the mission of the SMPis to prevent, detect, andreport health care fraud.“Not only does the Ohio SMPsupport its mission of pro-
tecting olderadults, theyalso preservethe integrityof the Medi-care andMedicaidprograms.”
Becauseface-to-facecontact ismost effec-
tive, the Ohio SMP relies onmany volunteers to help inthis effort. The project con-tinuously trains new volun-teers to assist with the mis-sion of fighting MedicareandMedicaid fraud.
New volunteers are re-quired to participate in anall-day training conductedby experts who understandand enforce healthcarefraud. Trainers also explainthe way volunteers contrib-ute to that mission of curtail-ing Medicare andMedicaidfraud.
Aspects of volunteerresponsibilities includeconducting presentation, aswell as supplying and exhib-iting SMPmaterials withmessages about fightingMedicare fraud at healthfairs, senior expos andevents throughout the state.Volunteers also counselbeneficiaries on strategiesfor spotting fraud on aMedi-care Summary Notice
(MSN).Additionally, the Ohio
SMP teaches Medicare ben-eficiaries how to protecttheir personal identity, re-port errors on their MSN’sand identify deceptivehealth care practices, suchas illegal marketing, provid-ing unnecessary or inappro-priate services and chargingfor services that were neverprovided.
Some examples of fraudand waste identified by SMPvolunteers include equip-ment or insurance plan pro-viders tricking senior centerparticipants into revealingpersonal information (in-cludingMedicare numbers)on “sign-in” sheets, MSN’sshowing billing for servicesor supplies that were neverprovided, and equipmentsuppliers providing expen-sive “scooter” wheelchairsnot ordered by a physicianor needed by the beneficia-ry.
If you are interested involunteering for the OhioSMP at Pro Seniors, orwould like more informationabout Medicare fraud, youcan contact Pro Seniors at345-4160 or 800-488-6070.

The Colerain Police De-partment is asking for yoursupport on May 6 to pass a1.95 mill Levy. Previouslevies in 1986, 1991, 2002 and2007 provided funding forColerain Township policeoperations. Through ourefforts to extend levy timetables and to increase ser-vices, we worked innova-tively to facilitate changesin police operations. Since2007, the Department cre-ated valuable services forour community, increasedPolice Department staffing,negotiated contracts forservices with private andpublic entities and identifiednew ways to reduce costs oradd operating revenue.
Because of voter supportin 2002 we increased thenumber of officers and dep-uties serving the communi-ty. The additional officersenabled us to assign moreofficers to our patrol shifts,assign one School ResourceOfficer to each of our Town-ship high schools and initi-ate a “Problem OrientedPolicing” philosophy. Weestablished our “SpecialInvestigations Unit” to ad-dress local drug and crimi-nal complaints in our neigh-borhoods. We also enhancedour partnership with theNorthwest Local Schoolsand created a unique, butimportant “school investiga-tor” position.
The Department workedvery hard to establish a“best practices” operating
tion of Law EnforcementAgencies. The most recentaward in 2011was “Accredi-tation with Excellence,” arecognition that less than 1percent of all police agen-cies achieve.
We also created a MissingPerson Investigative Teamfor missing children andspecial needs persons,“Driving Angels” teen driv-er safety initiative, CARE“Special Needs” partner-ship, rehabilitated an aban-doned tavern and openedour Community ResourceCenter. The Center is alsohome to our “Family JusticeCenter.” The FJC assistsvictims and survivors offamily violence throughprivate and public serviceagency partnerships.
The department alsopartnered with the ownersof Northgate Mall to posi-tively impact the Mall. Ourofficers have been activelypatrolling the Mall “beat”since 2012.
The department addedtwo part-time weekend andone overnight clerk to in-
crease the policing servicefor our residents. The de-partment also opened itsvehicle impound lot as ameans of local accountabil-ity and financial opportuni-ty. In 2013, the lot generatedalmost $150,000 in new oper-ating revenue.
Our police officers in-creased their health carecost contributions to a ratehigher than almost all areadepartments, while continu-ing their pay freeze through2016. They also eliminatedcontracted “step” increases.
The department filled thevoid created when the Ham-ilton County Sheriff’s Officereduced the number of dep-uties working in the town-ship, through the creation ofa volunteer “reserve corps”of police officers.
These officers workedthousands of hours in sup-port of the department’smission to serve our commu-nity.
The 1.95 mill levy willgenerate approximately$2,000,000 in additional an-nual funding, starting in2015.
Property owners withhomes appraised at $100,000can expect to pay as little as$68 more in property taxes ayear - less than 19 cents aday.
Please support your Po-lice Department onMay 6.Vote Yes on Issue 9!
DanMeloy is the Colerain Town-ship safety services director.
Would you support tolls for anew Brent Spence Bridge if thatwas the onlyway to get the bridgereplaced?
“Leave the current BrentSpence Bridge for local traffic. Isuspect that will pacify those intheareaunhappywith tolls.Buildthe newbridgemodeled after To-ledo’s Charge a toll on the newbridge so it can be built soonerandmaintainedbetter.NewScan-ning Technology makes payingtolls simple without toll boothsand long lines. Trucks should paymore especially between 7 a.m.and 7 p.m. Note 60 percent of thecurrent bridge traffic is local.Many of these local motoristswould use the current BrentSpence Bridge versus the newtoll bridge.Much of the toll reve-nue would come from non-localtraffic. Please no more studiesand no more grandstanding poli-ticians.Sell the naming rights tothe new bridge. If you build itthey will pay. Go figure!”
T.D.T.
“Why do we need tolls? Letssay the average person buys 12gallons of gas per week and theaverage gas tax is about 50 cents-
per-gallon. This amounts to $6per week or about $300 per yearfor one person. I’d venture to saythat there are at least 200millioncustomerseachyear.Thisresultsin $60 billioncollected in gasolinetaxes each year.
“This tax is for maintainingroads and bridges. I think theycan come up with $3.5 Billion outof that fund. Let’s say it’s spreadout on a 20-year plan, that meansout of the $60 billion they collecteach year, they only need to alot$175 million toward the bridge.Less than 1/3 of 1 percent.
“Verydoable. There is noneedfor tolls.”

As I do every year atEaster, I will be continu-ing a tradition with thelittle ones that has been inour family for genera-tions: coloring Eastereggs with natural dyes,including onion skins,turmeric, beet juice andred cabbage.
Thesenaturaldyes cre-ate softhues ofyellow, tealblue, lightpink andbrick red.I’ve sharedthese reci-pes before,but if you
need them, check outAbouteating.com. I’ll beshowing DanWells andJessica Brown, anchorson Fox 19 Saturdaymorn-ing show how to makethem. Tune in at 9:45 onSaturday, April 19.
And remember thosefolks whomay be alone.Give them a call, send acard or invite them toyour Easter table. Bless-ings to each of you!
Bourbonmustardglaze for ham
We always have hamfor Easter brunch. Eachyear I try to change upthe glaze. Here’s what I’llbe making this year. Go totaste on glaze ingredients,using less, or more ofeach ingredient. 1-1/2cups honey; 3/4 cupmo-lasses. I use unsulphured3/4 cup bourbon, 1/2 cup +2 tablespoons orangejuice concentrate, thawedDijonmustard. I startwith 3 generous table-spoons and go from there.
Combine everythingand heat in pan over lowheat just until mixtureheats through. Remove acup of mixture and setaside. As ham is roasting(at 325 until ham reaches140 degrees, about 15minutes or so per pounddepending upon how coldthe ham is when you putit in the oven, whether ithas a bone, etc.) basteoccasionally with glaze.When ham is done, re-move drippings and addto remaining glaze. Heatup and serve alongside.
Tip: Tomake it tastelike the glaze you get inthe package for honeybaked glazed ham, add ateaspoon or more ofpumpkin pie spice to theglaze.

Tips from Rita’skitchen
Cleaning pots & pans:After my cookware arti-cle, questions were raisedas to the best way to clean
baked on coatings ofcheese in pan. Squirtdishwashing soap into thepan, cover with a bit ofboiling water. Leave over-night, then wash clean.
Polishing copper withketchup - does it work?Yes! I tried it on my cop-per pan. I wiped a thinlayer over the tarnishedpan and let it sit aboutfive minutes. The ketch-up rinsed off, leaving thepan shiny. It’s the acid inthe ketchup that does the
trick.

Although home valueshave started going backup in recent years, inmany cases they are nowhere near the valua-tions they had at theheight of the housingboom. Just because themarket value of yourhomemay be down,that’s no reason to thinkyou need to cut back onyour homeowners insur-ance.
In fact, a lot of home-owners are finding thecost to rebuild theirhouse these days is fargreater than they everimagined. A house valuedon the Hamilton CountyAuditor’s website asbeing worth $521,000, isvalued by an insurancecompany at $875,000.
The insurance compa-ny came up with themuch higher value be-
cause it’sbased onthe re-placementcost of thehouse.Mean-while, theauditor’svaluationis based onthe market
value of the property.Market value can vary
greatly depending on thelocation of the property.For instance, a house in adepressed city neigh-borhood may be valuedat $100,000, while theexact same house locatedin a nice suburb could bevalued at more than$225,000.
However, neither ofthose valuations haveanything to do with thecost to rebuild the house.
In both neighborhoodsthe cost to rebuild wouldbe exactly the same.
All this means thepremium to insure yourhome will continue toincrease even though themarket value may havedecreased. One insur-ance professional tellsme people will often callasking why their premi-um increased. She saysit’s partly because ofstorms and bad weatherthroughout the area andthe nation, but also be-cause the cost to replacethe home has gone updue to inflation of materi-als and wage increases.
Premiums will go upas necessary to allowinsurance companies tonot only make a profit,but to insure they haveenough money to coverfuture disasters. It’simportant to discuss thetype of insurance youneed to protect yourhouse. There are twotypes: replacement valueand market value.
Market Value insur-ance, also known as actu-al cash value, can saveyou a great deal of mon-ey each year on yourinsurance premium. Butit takes into account thedepreciation of your
home over time. There-fore, you won’t receiveenough money to rebuildyour house exactly as itwas in the event of adisaster.
On the other hand,replacement value insur-ance, while costing moremoney, will insure yourhome for 100 percent ofthe cost to rebuild exact-ly as it was.
It’s important to com-pare policies from differ-ent insurance companiesand ask if you’re receiv-ing the lowest availablerates before picking onecompany. Rememberthat home valued at
$875,000 by one insur-ance company? Anothercompany valued thesame home at $955,000,thereby charging a lotmore for the premium.So, it’s important to alsoget another estimate ofthe replacement value ifyou have any questions.

Cincinnati PublicSchools, the Strive Part-nership, United Way ofGreater Cincinnati, TheCarol Ann & Ralph V.Haile Jr. U.S. Bank Foun-dation and other corpo-rate and community part-ners are teaming up for afourth school year to re-launch recruiting effortsfor reading and math tu-tors for elementary stu-dents through the “Be theChange” volunteer tutorcampaign.
BetheChangeisacoor-dinated, community-widevolunteer tutor recruit-ment initiative focused onachieving measurable re-sults in student achieve-ment for high-need CPSelementary schools.
Partners in this effortare set to build on lastyear’s success of match-ing nearly 650 tutors tostudents, and have set anambitious goal to place1,000 more volunteer tu-tors throughout the dis-trict.
More than 200 tutorshave already signed up orrenewed their commit-ment for this school year.
Volunteer tutors areasked to make a commit-ment of 45 minutes to anhour a week. Most workone-on-onewith a student,and have the opportunityto develop a meaningfulrelationship with that stu-dent over the course ofthe school year.
Be the Change is an ex-ample of aligningcommu-nity resources aroundwhat works for students.
Adatareviewofall ser-vicescoming intoCPS lastyear showed that tutoringhad the greatest impacton student achievement.The evaluation found stu-dents with tutors makegains in reading andmaththat are two and half tothree times greater thanstudents without.
“With Be the Changeand other tutoring initia-tives, we’re enriching theacademic lives of our stu-
dents by bringing morecommunitymembers intoour schools,” CPS Super-intendent Mary Ronansaid. “The impact of one-on-one tutoring is justphenomenal.”
Teachers and princi-palsarehighly involved inthe tutoring work, usingdata to target students fortutoringsupportandmon-itoring impact throughoutthe year.
Partnering organiza-tions dedicate staff tohelp volunteers plan theirinvolvement, completetheir application process,and manage ongoing lo-gistics.Tutorsandschoolsbothhaveopportunities toprovide regular feedbackon the student progressand the program, ensur-ing that all parties in-volved benefit from theprocess.
