Township Senior Center,credits a move severalyears ago to tie funding ofthe senior program tofunding from The GroveBanquet Center as onereason for the program’sstability. His center col-laborates with the Wyo-ming Recreation Center,offering resident benefits

to Wyoming in exchagefor resident pricing forseniors at the WyomingRecreation Center.

Springfield Township’scenter has about 400members, and Schneidersays the program has thesupport of trustees andadministrators, whichhelps with its stability, aswell.

The center offersclasses, activities and pro-grams, and has an activegroup of volunteers whohelp out.

Schneider says he seesthe future of senior cen-ters will be morphing intomulti-generational com-munity centers, offeringprograms for other gener-ations and bringing gener-ations together over com-mon interests.

He said he thinks part-nerships and groups likeArtsConnect will help inthat transition. ArtsCon-nect is a Springfield Town-ship nonprofit group thatoffers ad 30 events a yearto help bring the commu-nity together. In additionto events, ArtsConnect fa-cilitates art classes, sum-mer camps and communi-ty volunteer projects.

For more than a dec-ade, the churches ofMount Airy have gath-ered together to observeGood Friday and com-memorate the passion anddeath of Jesus in anticipa-tion of Easter.

From its beginning 15years ago, the commemo-ration of the Lord’s pas-sion and death was aMount Airy event andmembers of the commu-nity’s churches were themain participants. Je-rome Gabis, a member ofSt. Therese Little FlowerParish, who has partici-pated in the programsince it started, says overthe years, more and morepeople have heard about itand joined in the outdoorWay of the Cross thatwinds its way along Cole-rain Avenue, Mount Ai-ry’s chief thoroughfare.

A 10-foot cross is car-ried on the shoulders of 10people walking fromchurch to church, com-memorating the walk ofJesus Christ to his deathon Calvary. About 70 peo-ple followed last year.

The March 25 eventstarts at 3 p.m. at theTruth and DestinyChurch, formerly MountAiry United MethodistChurch on North BendRoad near the Mount Airywater towers.

The procession willtravel along Colerain Ave-nue through the Mount Ai-

ry business district andends at the intersection ofColerain Avenue and Kir-by Road. People attendingtake turns carrying thehefty 80-pound woodencross, stopping along theway to recall the story ofJesus’ death on Good Fri-day. Gabis says the groupuses a book of meditationson the Way of the Cross asthe procession journeysthe route. People who areunable to walk can readthe meditations with agroup at Praise ChapelChurch of God, 5611 Cole-rain Ave.

“We are inviting peoplefrom across the area tomake a Good Friday pil-grimage to Mount Airy topray this Way of the Crosswith us,” said Pastor JohnDouglas of Praise ChapelChurch of God.

Sponsoring churchesare Truth and DestinyChurch, Impact WorshipCenter, Praise ChapelChurch of God and St.Therese Little FlowerCatholic Church.

“You can’t help but bemoved when you see oldpeople and kids carryingthat heavy cross togeth-er,” said one participant.“At the end of the prayers,we sign our names on thecross and you can see thenames of so many peoplewho have gone before us.It makes you think.”

For Gabis, the power ofthe program is two-fold.“It always hits me that be-cause of my efforts, peo-ple might be moved,” he

said. “That can be power-ful. Personally, I just ap-preciate the physicality ofit; the heaviness of thecross as it digs into yourshoulder.

“And then, as you arewalking, the traffic is justgoing by. It’s just like itwas in Jerusalem. Theworld is being redeemedand no one knows it’s be-ing done. Jerusalemdidn’t stop on the day Je-sus died. It’s a modernmanifestation of redemp-tion.”

Sirens testrescheduled

The outdoor warningsiren test scheduled forMarch 2 has been re-scheduled for 9:50 a.m.Wednesday, March 23.

The Ohio SevereWeather Awareness weekis March 21-25,. In addi-tion to several prepared-ness activities scheduledthroughout the week, theNWS will conduct a torna-do drill on NOAA weatherradios at 9:50 a.m. March23.

One of the key ele-ments of this is to encour-age people to take actionwhen they hear the out-door warning sirens. Tosupport this, HamiltonCounty will sound the out-door warning sirens dur-ing the NWS tornado drill.For the NOAA radio test,an announcement will bemade “tornado warningtest – if this was a realevent you would…” Thistest is coordinated state-wide.

This is a great opportu-nity to encourage schools,public facilities, privatecompanies, etc... to con-duct a tornado drill.

McAuley HighSchool

» McAuley High Schoolseniors Jenna Lawhornand Emily Murdock wereaccepted into the CostumeDesign Program at theU.C. College-Conservato-ry of Music. This programaccepts only four to sixstudents per year.

Lawhorn says she hasbeen interested in clothingdesign since she was only5-years-old. Initially shewas interested in fashiondesign, but in high schoolshe realized that all herdrawings of designs weremore geared towards cos-tume than fashion.

“I didn’t want to justmake clothes, I wanted tocreate characters,” La-whorn said. “My favoritepart of costume design isresearching, and then de-signing, period clothing.Costuming combines mylove for art, theater andhistory.” Lawhorn startedcostuming at McAuleyduring her sophomoreyear with the play “Breaka Leg.” She has made cos-tumes for most McAuleyshows since then andhopes one day to becomethe head costume designerfor a large-scale show.

Murdock says she hasbeen sewing since she was13-years-old. She becameinterested in costuming asa career when she workedon costumes for McAu-ley’s production of “Dis-ney’s Beauty & the Beast”in 2015. For that musical,she worked mostly onBelle’s primary yellowdress, as well as the en-chanted characters’ cos-tumes. Along with La-whorn, she’s also workingon the many costumes thatwill be featured in McAu-ley’s upcoming musical,“Mary Poppins.” Murdockis well on her way to suc-

cess in the field. Lastmonth she won a firstplace and best in showaward at the annual OhioJunior Classical LeagueConvention in Columbusfor her hand-stitched cos-tume of the nymph Calyp-so.

“What I’m most lookingforward to at CCM is learn-ing how to do many differ-ent things with costum-ing,” Murdock said. “Ihope to someday workwith local theaters. Thereare so many possibilitieswith this degree.”

Two important days to cele-brate this week: the first day ofspring and Easter. I’ve alreadygot my seed potatoes ready toplant. Ditto with the red andwhite onion sets.

Before all that happenswe’ll be busycoloring eggswith naturaldyes, as usualwith my grand-kids. (Check outmy abouteating-.com site for allthe photos andrecipes for thesebeautiful eggs).When the littleones come over

to color eggs, we’ll make abatch of empty tomb buns tosnack on. Now some of youmay know these as balloonbuns. No matter what you callthem, I think you’ll have funmaking them and I know yourtummy will be happy.

I hope each of you has avery meaningful Easter. Thinkof those who may be alone -give them a call, send a card orset an extra place at your holi-day table. As I always say “it’snot just about the food, butwho shares it with you.”

Can you help?Kentucky Half Runner

green beans like Mom used tomake

Bill Kirby, a Goshen reader,really needs an old fashionedAppalachian recipe for halfrunner green beans cookedover a low flame with what hethinks is salt pork.

My wife, who passed awaylast year, always made thesedelicious beans. She didn’thave a written recipe and Ididn’t pay too much attentionto the way she cooked them.I’ve tried different recipes butnone comes close to hers”, hetold me. Bill also mentioned

that the pork was in the pot forflavoring only, not to eat.

Bill really wants to recreatethese beans “from the hllls of

Kentucky.” Some of you havemade beans like this, so anyhelp you can give Bill will beso appreciated. Heck, he made

me hungry (and a bit wistful)just talking about them. I toldBill I have the best readerswho I know will help.

So do that for Bill and prob-ably more than a few others,won’t you?

Empty tomb buns/balloon bunsThe marshmallow melts in the center of the bun,

so when you bite into it, the bun is hollow but coatedinside with marshmallow, representing Jesus’ resurrec-tion from the tomb. If you go the balloon bun route,again, the inside bakes up hollow but coated withmarshmallow, like a blown up balloon.

12 large biscuits - I used Grands biscuits1 cup sugar1 tablespoon cinnamon12 large marshmallows1 stick melted butter or margarine

Mix sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Dip eachmarshmallow into melted butter, then into sugar cinna-mon mixture. Wrap biscuit around each marshmallowpinching bottom TIGHTLY. (If you don’t do this, themarshmallow will pop out during baking). Dip biscuitinto butter then into sugar cinnamon mixture again.Place pinched side down in sprayed muffin cup pan.Bake according to can directions. (Again, this is impor-tant because if you over bake, the marshmallow popsout of the side).

Rumpke funds save theday

I am sad that the recent Col-erain Township levy did notpass.

Gov. Kasich’s budget balanc-ing efforts came at the expenseof every township for millionsof much needed revenues. I amglad Colerain Township finallysettled with Rumpke so at least

there is now that Rumpke influxof $2 million per year that canbe used on the infrastructure. Itmakes me wish that settlementhad taken place years ago sothat those revenues could havebeen coming in before now. Notto mention the legal fees spentby both parties. Go figure!”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

March 16 questionIn how many NCAA tourna-

ment pools are you participating?Do you have a method for pickingwinners?

“All together, I am in exactlyzero tournament pools this year.A recent job change resulted inno one asking me to join in.However, I do have a fool proofmethod of choosing: pick Michi-gan State to win it all and thenchoose any Big 10 team, exceptfor The Ohio State, to win theirrespective games. That, plus al-ways pick U Conn and Gonzagato go quite far. Go Green!”

M.J.F.

“I get in the ESPN online en-try and do a few brackets. I do asecond pool with some lifelongbuddies. Each ‘team’ picks eightteams based on a blind drawround robin (1-8 then 9-16 etc).In the first one I can win $1 mil-lion if I am perfect and in the

second I can win about $50 thatis kept in the ‘pot’ at settlementtime for beverages. No one hasever done a perfect ESPNbracket, but we all have fun inthe round robin.

“The method I use is to ig-nore the experts and pick withmy gut. Did you notice the ex-perts never win the ESPN per-fect bracket either? Go figure!”

The Community Press’sinformative, comprehensiveMarch 2 analysis of the heroincrisis prompts this column.

We in the Ohio Legislaturepassed laws in recent yearsallowing police and first re-sponders to administer Nalax-one (Narcan) to save heroinoverdose victims’ lives, andthat work was the subject ofthe newspaper’s recent cov-erage.

That is only the first chap-ter. Our Hamilton County statelegislators are busy writing thenext chapters in our criticalwar against heroin abuse.

I learned at a recent meet-ing with the Hamilton CountyHeroin Task Force that its bestinvestigative tool for determin-ing who the heroin dealers areis to enlist the voluntary coop-

eration ofheroin userswhose liveshave beensaved by Nar-can injections.However, thefire service inmany commu-nities has re-fused to dis-close to thepolice the

identity of the people to whomthey have administered Nar-can, citing federal medicalprivacy laws (HIPAA). As aresult, the police are disabledfrom interviewing those vic-tims to find out who the up-stream drug suppliers are.

My research disclosed thatthe federal law contains a lawenforcement exemption where

provided by state law. There-fore, I have successfullyamended a pending bill (HouseBill 110) in the Senate to re-quire the fire service to telllaw enforcement, on request,the identity of those to whomNarcan has been administered.This will help police investi-gate and prosecute the heroindrug dealers.

Meanwhile, my HamiltonCounty colleagues, State Reps.Blessing and Dever, have wonHouse passage of a differentbill (HB 171) that lowers thequantity of heroin that a heroindealer may have in order forthe dealer to be prosecuted asa major drug offender, withenhanced prison sentencesapplicable to these dealers.This bill is pending in the OhioSenate, and I support it.

Also, Findlay State Rep.Sprague and Hamilton CountyState Rep. Driehaus haveteamed up to sponsor legisla-tion (HB 249) that providesimmunity from criminal prose-cution to persons who call 911to report heroin overdosecases and to the overdose vic-tims themselves. The immuni-ty encourages people who maybe high themselves to call forhelp and to save their friend orrelative’s life, and it only im-munizes them from low leveldrug use or possession chargesand only if they promptly seektreatment for their drug prob-lem.

ot only will this save lives,but also it will ensure that therevived drug users are stillalive to potentially help lawenforcement catch the “deal-

ers in death” who are provid-ing the heroin - which is oftenlaced with even more danger-ous and addictive chemicalsthese days. The immunity forusers only will be extendedtwice - after that, the userprobably does need to face thecriminal justice system.

I am working to ensurepassage of all these measures.Lives are on the line. The crisisis too real. There is no time towaste. Your readers shouldtake pride in knowing that thestate legislators from yourneighborhoods are workingtogether, and with local lawenforcement and addictiontreatment providers, to battlethis scourge on multiple fronts.

Spring is almost here, whichmeans longer, brighter, warm-er days. It also means it’s timeto start thinking about springweatherization and energysavings.

At People Working Coopera-tively, we work with low-in-come, elderly, and disabledhomeowners to provide criticalrepairs and weatherizationservices. We’ve compiled a fewsimple tips that can be used byhomeowners throughout theTristate to make their homesmore efficient and help con-serve energy resources.

Begin outside your homeand check the air conditioningunit. You don’t need it yet, butyou want it to be in good work-ing order when it’s time to turn

it on. You’llalso want togive the out-door unit agood wash toensure no dirt,dust or pollenget inside.Moving insidethe home,you’ll want tochange outyour air filters

to ensure clean air is circulat-ing in your home. This keepsyour family healthy and yoursystem working efficiently.

While temperatures aremild, consider cooling yourhouse without turning on theAC. Open doors and windowsto get a cross breeze through

the house, and consider turn-ing on the overhead fan - it canreduce the temperature in aroom by up to four degrees andkeeps energy bills down. If youprefer to keep your systemrunning, you can save moneyby lowering the thermostatduring the day and setting itback several degrees at night.

Taking advantage of naturallight is another way to savemoney, and add some cheer toyour home. During daylighthours, open up the blinds andcurtains. Leaving the lights offlowers the electricity bill andavoids the heat given off bybulbs. If your inside temper-ature becomes too warm fromthe sun, you can keep blindsopen on just those windows

that aren’t receiving directsunlight.

Spring showers are terrificfor yards, trees and plants, butcan be damaging to your foun-dation. Be sure to check gut-ters and downspouts to ensurethey’re clean and pointed awayfrom your home, to avoidflooding and other complica-tions.

If you used weather strip-ping on your windows anddoors over the winter, check tomake sure it’s still in goodshape. This simple and afford-able tool is effective for keep-ing cold air out in the winter,but it’s just as important forkeeping it in during the sum-mer. You don’t want cool airescaping and the summer heat

getting in through cracks inyour home.

There are many more waysto conserve energy and savemoney this season. We encour-age homeowners to evaluatetheir family’s needs and in-corporate some of these tips tokeep their homes safe, secure,and running efficiently.

If last season was any indica-tion, La Salle’s baseball pro-gram is headed in the right di-rection. The Lancers are com-ing off a 24-7 season that includ-ed a postseason run to theregional semifinals (lost 2-1 toMason).

La Salle graduated several ofits best hitters from last season,but the talent they have return-ing highlighted by a strong sen-ior class could help pick up rightwhere they left off.

Coach Joe Voegele said histeam’s strengths will be pitch-ing depth and the senior class.

Returning to starting rolesthis season will be senior out-fielder Kevin Browne, who’ssigned with Ashland Univer-sity, senior infielder Tim Casey,who’s also signed with Ashland,senior outfielder Andrew Sex-ton, a Xavier signee, seniorpitcher/outfielder Jacob Kaiser,a Charleston commit, seniorpitcher Dana Reeves, a MountSt. Joseph signee, senior pitch-er/infielder Quentin Baldwin, aShawnee State signee, junior in-fielder Tyler Wardwell, who’scommitted to Duke, and seniorpitcher Jake Barford.

“We should be strong up themiddle with returning startersin three of these key positions;middle infielders Tim Caseyand Tyler Wardwell and center-fielder Andrew Sexton,” saidVoegele.

Casey hit .313 last season,Sexton hit .312 and Voegele saidWardwell, who’s strong defen-sively, will be a key hitter forthe Lancers this spring. Browneblasted a team-high three homeruns last season with a .292 av-erage.

“Pitching depth is a strongpoint, although we need guys tostep up to be league starters,”he said. “The staff is led by Da-na Reeves, Jake Kaiser andJake Barford.”

Reeves was 2-0 with a 3.07ERA last year. Kaiser went 5-0with a 1.92 ERA, and Barfordwas 3-0 with a 1.27 ERA and 0.91WHIP.

The big question for theLancers is how they will replacethe hitting they lost.

“We have several startingpositions that are up for grabs,”said Voegele. “This will be thekey to our offense after losingour three, four and five hitters.”

La Salle opens on the road atMilford March 26, before trav-eling to Tennessee for threegames. La Salle doesn’t play athome until April 4 against Land-mark.

ColerainAfter going 19-9 last season

and locking up second place in

the Greater Miami Conference,Colerain has reason to be confi-dent with the talent and experi-ence returning. Last season wasthe best record and the highestconference finish for the Cardi-nals in over a decade.

Second-year head coach Jus-tin Yeary said senior leadershipwill be a major part of anothersuccessful season.

“This team has four seniorswho have been on the teamsince their sophomore year,”said Yeary. “They got a taste ofwinning the last couple yearsand want to continue to be spe-cial.”

Colerain is loaded with re-turning talent – four full-timeposition players, two more whosplit time and four startingpitchers all return. The Cardi-nals two have to replace theirtwo best bats – Jacob Murrayand Genesis Hillard – both lostto graduation.

“This year’s team is very ex-perienced and deep on themound,” Yeary said. “The pitch-ing staff could easily be talkedabout as one of the deepest inthe city. (The staff) returns 14wins and over 100 innings.”

Senior catcher Cory Hef-fron, a Wright State commit,will handle those pitchers. Hef-fron’s a three-year starter whowas first-team All-GMC lastseason and hit .365 with 19 RBI.

Senior pitcher Jacob Allen, aWabash Valley commit, is a

three-year varsity starter who’shealthy this season. Yeary saidAllen started last year 2-0 be-fore an injury shut him downfor the season. Senior secondbaseman Joe Goedde is a three-year starter who hit .311 lastyear.

Junior shortstop Ryan Mur-ray was first-team All-GMC lastseason after hitting .400 with a.533 on-base percentage. Juniorinfielder/pitcher Jared Flueckwas second-team All-GMC lastyear with a 6-0 record and a 2.36ERA. Junior pitcher JakeSchrand will return to his closerrole (four saves, 2.16 ERA), buthe’ll also see some starts thisyear. Junior Kyle Bolden is athree-year starter and juniorpitcher Jason Fischer is a two-year starter.

Colerain opens on the road atTalawanda March 28. Masoncomes to visit March 29, beforeColerain travels back to Masonthe next day on March 30.

NorthwestChris Mahon is back for his

second year leading the North-west Knights, and is looking tobuild upon last season’s 17-11finish.

Along with their skipper, theKnights return a cadre of start-ers including Brandon Shelton,Jake Fishburn, Trevor Rider,Devin Schnur, Brandon Muellerand Tyler Hines. The experi-enced and cohesive roster has

Mahon feeling good about theseason.

Shelton and Fishburn wereall-Southwest Ohio Conferenceperformers last year.

The Knights open withgames against Amelia andLandmark Christian March 26.

Mount HealthyMount Healthy took it on the

chin last season, finishing 2-17while scoring just 31 runs andgiving up 221.

Certainly, the Owls andcoach Matt Morris will be look-ing for improvement this sea-son.

Should he return (no infor-mation was available by dead-line), Mount Healthy will relyon C.J. Rhodes for a good deal ofproduction. He was an all-SWOC performer last seasonand hit .326.

After a scrimmage with Ai-ken, the Owls begin the seasonMarch 28 against North CollegeHill.

Roger BaconMomentum and an all-busi-

ness approach have Roger Ba-con’s baseball team trending upheading into the season.

Coach Tim McCoy, enteringhis 10th season with the Spar-tans, said, “From last year’steam the seniors that we hadlast year really set a precedentfor what practices should looklike and the approach to the

game of baseball. These guyshave a professionalism aboutthem. It’s like a business day forthem when we have practiceand games.”

McCoy added, “We have a tonof experience, a lot of guys whohave played four years on varsi-ty, most of them got some sort ofplaying time on varsity, that ex-perience and playing in the(Greater Catholic League) isjust a battle day in and day out.The GCL is a special league andit separates people from otherschools because of that compe-tition.”

Leading the way this yearare seniors Alex Speed, BeauOtto, Liam Garrett, Sam Hoe-fling, Henry Bollmer and juniorJeordon Kuderer.

McCoy said that Speed cando a little of everything, playingshortstop, centerfield andpitcher. Speed, who hit .292 lastseason with 17 runs and 21 hits,“is a four-year starter on varsi-ty, he’s one of the very few I’vecoached who have done that,”said McCoy. Otto, a shortstopsigned with Marietta College,hit .325 last year and stole ateam-high 24 bases. Garrett’s athree-year starter behind theplate, and Hoefling made themove to the outfield this season.Bollmer was mostly a designat-ed hitter last season and hit .333with 11 RBI.

COLUMBUS - Roger Bacon’s im-pressive postseason run ran into aroad block March 17 at Ohio State’sSchottenstein Center in a Division IIIstate semifinal.

Lima Central Catholic, the No. 1team in the state, looked as good as ad-vertised in a 74-56 win over Roger Ba-con (21-8). In 2014, Lima Central alsoeliminated Roger Bacon in a statesemifinal. It’s the third straight yearthe Thunderbirds will play for thestate championship.

Roger Bacon reached Columbuswith a red-hot nine-game win streak,but the Spartans struggled to stop theThunderbirds and generate any sus-tained momentum.

“I just felt like going into it, I feltreally good,” said Roger Bacon coachBrian Neal. “I felt like it was our time,we had been playing really well. WhatI saw of (Lima) I knew they were verygood, very well-coached, but Ithought we were playing our best bas-ketball at the right time.

“Unfortunately it played out aboutthe same way it did last time we werehere. Must be my pre-game speechesaren’t very good because we got off toa poor start.”

Justin Johnson led Roger Baconwith 16 points and James Johnson had14. The Spartans shot 42 percent fromthe field, while Lima shot nearly 52percent.

Roger Bacon only graduates threeseniors in Luke Baker, Elijah Fultonand William Greene.

“Next year we’ll have another shotat it,” said Fulton. “We’re seniors, wewon’t be here but this team will beback because we have a bunch ofgreat guys who are unselfish.”

Neal concluded, “Two years ago Ididn’t know what to tell them (aftersemifinal loss). I know what to tellthem now: It happens, I’m proud ofyou. You got to do something thatmost kids don’t get to do and life goeson. That’s the reality. This is a game,yeah, we work really, really hard at itand we want to do our best, but at thesame time I’m gonna sleep okay to-night cause I know we tried.”

In Aiken’s first state semifinal ap-pearance in school history, the Fal-cons fell 85-68 to Akron St. Vincent-St.Mary on March 17 in a Division IIstate semifinal at Ohio State’s Schot-tenstein Center.

The Irish (26-3) were on fire fromthe onset and Aiken (24-4) didn’t havea remedy to extinguish the flames.

“We came out real tight,” said Ai-ken coach Leon Ellison. “I think theatmosphere was a little too big for myguys early. I think we succumbed tothe moment. I don’t think St. V got areal Aiken team tonight.

“We didn’t compete. Our back gotagainst the wall late and guys wantedto start competing. We didn’t competeon the glass, we didn’t compete defen-sively and offensively they were tak-ing (Carlik) Jones away and leavinglanes wide open and guys weren’t ag-gressive enough to attack thoselanes.”

The career of Carlik Jones will betalked about for a long time at Aiken.Jones finished with 29 points and ninerebounds. Junior Lonnie Berry had 20points.

“It’s real hard (knowing he won’tcoach Carlik anymore),” said an emo-tional Ellison. “I’m old now, theseguys are all done and it’s hard. He was

one of the ones no one ever talkedabout. This kid got no attention. No at-tention at all up until this year. Theschools didn’t come knocking. I wascalling schools like you really need tocome see this kid. He was alwaysovershadowed because of the guys heplayed with. This year he showed (col-leges) you really should have took alook. Now there’s a whole bunch ofschools out there upset that theydidn’t take that look. And Radford(University) got a steal. It’s bitter-sweet.

“I’m always gonna be his biggestfan.”

Carlik echoed the feelings of hislongtime coach, “Words can’t explainhow I feel. It’s always been good to bea part of his team. He’s one of thecoaches who has taught me every-thing I know – grind to the end, neverstop playing, play with your heart. It’sbeen a great experience.”

Ellison said he’ll never forget thefight of this Aiken team and they ad-versity they overcame not just on thebasketball court, but in everyday life.

“Back in Cincinnati,” Ellison saidhe told his team, “half you guys aresurviving, fighting for your life everynight, seeing your buddies shot …coming from homes where parentsaren’t there, parents are not herewatching you up in the state tourna-ment, don’t know when you’ll get yournext meal. The last thing we should beworrying about is a basketball game.

“We’re winners just cause we’rehere.”

Kuderer’s “obviously thereal deal,” said McCoy. Last sea-son, the left-hander tossed twono-hitters and set the single sea-son school record for hits (37).Kuderer hit .529 with with 23RBI and 16 stolen bases; on themound, he posted a 1.38 ERAand recorded 43 strikeouts in40.2 innings.

McCoy also expects bigthings from sophomore BillyBollmer and junior first base-man Josh Brenner, who will alsohelp on the hill. McCoy addedthat the Spartans have a lotsophomores and juniors bat-tling for playing time this sea-son.

Roger Bacon will rely on itsdefense and pitching — “we setteam records in both categoriesacross the board (last season),”said McCoy. “Being solid defen-sively in this era of baseball, wetake pride in defense and mak-ing smart plays. I would like tothink we’re a pretty cerebralteam. I feel like if we keepgames under five runs we’re asgood as anybody in the city de-fensively.”

The Spartans have a newhome base this season, BrandonPhillips Field, where they openthe season March 26 againstTaylor.

St. XavierNow in his third season as

head baseball at St. Xavier, Bob

Sherlock feels like this is thedeepest team he’s had on NorthBend Road.

“I like our talent, I like ourdepth,” said Sherlock. “We lostsome good players last year andwe’ll miss them but we feel likewe replaced them for the mostpart talent wise. We’re deeper

than the first two years I washere. Team chemistry is start-ing to come about. The seniorshave experience and the juniorskind of have that youthful en-thusiasm — it’s a good mix, Ireally like how they’re comingtogether.

“We really like our club,much stronger all the wayaround.”

The Bombers have four re-turning starters and a few livearms with varsity experience.

Senior left fielder NoahMehrle, who’s signed to play atCase Western University, hit.299 last season and returns tothe starting lineup along withsenior catcher J.P. Bitzenhofer,who’s signed with the Univer-sity of Kentucky. Bitzenhoferhit .304 last year and had a team-high 18 RBI. Senior secondbaseman Sam Ankenbauer alsoreturns to the starting lineup af-ter hitting .280 with 21hits a sea-son ago. Junior shortstop Tre-vor Kuncl also returns, andSherlock said now that Kunclhas a year of varsity under hisbelt in the Greater CatholicLeague, they’re expecting bigthings from him.

Senior Ben Elsen will helptend the hot corner at third baseand junior center fielder Mi-

chael Cleary will be a big piecefor the Bombers.

On the mound, junior right-handers Sam Kendall and SamKlare will handle a lot of in-nings. Sophomore Nathan Kap-pers threw nine innings on var-sity last season.

Sherlock said of Kappers,“He’s got a great frame (6-foot-3, 195 pounds), very repeat-able delivery, very smooth … agreat mound presence; throw-ing on varsity as a freshmandidn’t phase him.”

Senior left-hander BrennanHatten, who’s signed with OhioDominican, and junior right-hander Shayne Rice will be pri-mary relievers.

“Defensively I think we’ll beable to play with anybody,” saidSherlock. “Our pitching is muchimproved. If we’re able to holdthe opposition down (offensive-ly) and our bats can perform weshould have a good year.

“We’ve got an awfully toughschedule, but we want guys whowant to play in big ball games. Ithink overall we’re better … butthe schedule is tougher.”

St. X opens up at homeagainst Nitro, the state runner-up in West Virginia last season,on March 26 before welcomingCenterville on March 28.

Guestsraised their paddles forbrand new handbags in-cluding: Louis Vuitton, To-ry Burch, Michael Kors,Kate Spade and more.

The silent auction in-cluded designer hand-bags and Pack-a-Purse,with themed purses full ofbonus prizes. The majoraward raffle featured$500 cash and a $500 giftcard to Macy’s. Guestsparticipated in the Abby

Girl Sweets Reward Raf-fle, where delicious cup-cakes were sold for achance to win a stunningpiece of jewelry from Dia-

mond Rocks. It’s in theBag Raffle featured win-ning tickets with designerwristlets and one majoraward, a beautiful Kate

Highlights of the eve-ning came when the 2016Chair-Couples and HopeAward winner were hon-ored. Chair Couples Ralphand Janelle Lee, Stan Wil-liams and Kristi Clement-Williams were recognizedfor their philanthropicwork in the community,specifically for namingthe Literacy Network asbeneficiary of their 2015Fore Kids Golf Outing.The outing generously do-nated $14,000 to the Liter-acy Network and the cou-ples have raised morethan $54,000 for youth in

President MichelleGuenther said, “We are in-credibly grateful to ev-eryone in attendance thisevening, and I am over-whelmed with all of thepositive energy in theroom. I cannot thank theLee’s and Williams’enough for their generos-ity and all they have doneto better the Cincinnaticommunity. They are somuch fun to work withand we are excited to con-tinue this relationship.”

Big Dave, Chelsea andStatt from B-105 awardedthe 2016 Hope Award toVictoria Mitchell, a hard-working student in theLiteracy Network’s AdultBasic Reading Program.

Mitchell raises hertwin great grandsons,works at the Soup Kitch-en, Food Pantry and vol-unteers at the boys’school. Perhaps mostamazing, Mitchell wantedto be in her church choirand because of her read-ing limitations, she mem-orized every word to ev-ery song.

When asked how shewas able to do that, Mitch-ell said, “Well, God givesyou gifts to make up forwhat you don’t have.” Af-ter accepting her award,two different donorsbought live auction hand-bags for Mitchell, whograciously and tearfullyaccepted the gift.

Guenther shared, “Noone is more deserving ofthe Hope Award than Vic-toria. She is doing a won-derful job in class and isdedicated to learning toread. Her selflessnessand perseverance in lifeserves as an example toall of us, and we are proudto recognize all of herhard work.”

With the help of a fun-ny, animated orange cat,the Metropolitan SewerDistrict of Greater Cin-cinnati is spreading theword about its SewerBackup Response pro-gram. If you live in MSD’sservice area, you will bereceiving a magnet and acard in the mail over thenext month.

The mailing encour-ages MSD customers toreport a sewer backup intheir home or business bycalling 513-352-4900, 24hours a day, seven days aweek.

MSD will investigatethe sewer backup to deter-mine who is responsible:MSD or the owner of theproperty. MSD will alsoexplain what services areavailable to you if MSD isresponsible, such ascleanup assistance andpayment of damageclaims. In addition, prop-erties subject to reoccur-ring backups may be eligi-ble for the installation ofsewer backup prevention

devices.MSD has offered a

Sewer Backup Responseprogram, the first of itskind in the nation, to MSDcustomers since 2004.MSD is required to pro-vide the program and pub-licize it as part of its feder-al Consent Decree withthe U.S. EPA.

To help increase publicawareness of sewer back-ups and offer a fun way toanswer common ques-tions, MSD recentlylaunched an interactivewebsite which includes avideo, game, blog post-ings and an animated catcalled Puddles.

Called “Do Your PartCincinnati,” the websiteexplains the differentcauses of sewer backups,the responsibility of prop-erty owners to maintaintheir private buildingsewers (the sewer fromthe home to the main pub-lic sewer) and MSD’s sew-er backup response pro-gram, which covers back-ups caused by capacity is-

sues or blockages in themain public sewer.

Ombudsman AmandaToole of the Legal Aid So-ciety of Southwest Ohio,who oversees MSD’s sew-er backup program, re-cently submitted a reportto the U.S. District Court.In it, she says she is“pleased with MSD’s ef-forts to attempt new strat-egies and broaden theiroutreach” through thenew website and “satis-fied with the efforts MSDis making under the SBUProgram.” Consent De-cree progress reports areavailable on the Reportspage of the ProjectGroundwork website.

Since the inception ofthe SBU program, MSDhas cleaned more than3,500 properties followinga sewer backup and cov-ered nearly $8 million inproperty damage. MSDhas also protected morethan 800 properties fromfuture backups from thepublic sewer system.

On average, MSD re-

sponds to more than 4,000service requests a yearrelated to potential sewerbackups. The vast major-ity of reported sewerbackups are caused byprivate building sewersthat have failed, or areblocked by tree roots,grease or other “non-flushable” objects.

MSD is working to re-duce and eliminate sewerbackups in the public sew-er system through Pro-ject Groundwork, a multi-year initiative that in-cludes hundreds of sewerimprovement and storm-water control projectsacross Hamilton County.

For more informationabout Project Ground-work, visit www.project-groundwork.org.

For more informationabout MSD’s SBU pro-gram, visit call.msdg-c.org or call 513-352-4900,24 hours a day, seven daysa week.
