Riedmiller said he can go to the spot only once a year, which is now marked by a memorial. At about 5 a.m. April 9, 1999, a F-4 tornado went through the area, de- stroying hundreds of homes and kill- ing four people. The storm destroyed 150 homes in Montgomery, 91 homes and apartments in Blue Ash, damaged 100 homes in Sycamore Township, damaged 60 homes in Deerfield Town- ship and caused damage in Symmes Township and Loveland. Clark Crabill’s house in the Mill- view neighborhood in Sycamore Township was completely destroyed, along with 14 others. Crabill’s wife and three children were in the house at the time and made it out with minor inju- ries. He first saw what was left of his house from an aerial shot on The Weather Channel on a television in Kansas City, where he was visiting family. “You go into a different frame of mind,” Crabill said. Riedmiller’s neighborhood, Mont- gomery Woods, was the hardest hit. He still remembers which houses were damaged, which were not touched and which were totally destroyed. Of the 150 homes destroyed in Montgomery, 58 were in Montgomery Woods. His house suffered about $30,000 worth of damage. “Most of the neighbors come back. Some, because they were too trauma- tized, sold their property and moved on,” Riedmiller said. Crabill said he and his family had no desire to leave their neighborhood. They stayed with friends and rebuilt their home on the same property. They were one of the first ones back, moving in during December 1999. Riedmiller ended up becoming the neighborhood leader for Montgomery Woods and helped organize the volun- teer events, headquartered out of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church. “People were just helping out as much as they possibly could. It was a collaborative effort with all of the neighborhoods,” he said. Blue Ash Police Lt. Joe Boyatt said Blue Ash had a lot of damage, but they were still trying to help out other areas. He was called to Montgomery Woods. “I had never seen anything like it because I drove up on Cornell Road and it was like the road was just parts of houses and cars. And dirt, just dirt everywhere, incredible amounts of dirt and piles of trees that weren’t sup- posed to be there,” Boyatt said.

“To see the resourcesfrom the communitiescome together. There wasno political subdivision atthat point,” he said.

Montgomery FireChief PaulWright said hisdepartment usually doesmutual aide with BlueAsh, Loveland andSymmes Township.

“But they were hit aswell sowehad toreachoutfarther,” he said.

About 30 departmentssent some sort of aide toBlue Ash alone, Boyattsaid, adding that livingthrough theeventbroughteveryone together. Ried-millersaidhehelpedcoor-dinate 2,300 volunteersthrough St. Barnabas.

Though the multipledepartments were

charged to guard the de-stroyed areas at night toprevent looting, everyonesaid itwasbarelyan issue.

“Unfortunately in di-sasters you get bad peo-ple, but fortunately theywere in the minority,”Riedmiller said.

Wright and the fire de-partmentworkedwith thevolunteers to help peoplepack up belongs fromtheir damaged or de-stroyed homes.

“The neat thing wasjust how well the commu-nity come together andvolunteered,” he said.

Loveland resident andLoveland City Schools Di-rector of Business Opera-tion John Ames saidthough thecitywasbarelydamaged in comparisonand isolated from the oth-er communities , volun-teer efforts were similarto the worst hit areas.Ames said Loveland Com-merce Parkwas theworsthit in Loveland.

“A lot of people wentover there to just helppick up stuff. Businesseshad theirmaterials every-where; little parts of andpieces of whatever it wastheymade. A lot of peoplejust gathered and helpedout as much as theycould,” Ames said.

Crabill said he wasamazed by the amount ofpeople hedidn’t knowwhocame to help clean up af-ter the storm.

“There was just a flowof people that wanted tohelp and they just came

over,” Crabill said.He added one morning

he came by himself tocleanupandbymid-after-noon many others had ar-rived to help him.

“It was such a nice day,I told them togohomeandenjoy the rest of their day.I looked up10minutes lat-er and everyone was stillthere,” he said.

Wright said it tookMontgomery PublicWorks Department abouttwo years to restore ev-erything. Crabill said theAmerican Red Cross andhis insurance companyhelp ease his family’s re-covery and rebuildingprocess.

“My insurance agenteven came out and helpedus clean up one day,” Cra-

bill said.Riedmiller said emo-

tional recovery and learn-ing to copewith what hap-pened for the tornado sur-vivors and the communityas a whole takes the long-est. He added remember-ing how the communitiescame together makes thesituation better.

Wright said the regionlearned from the stormand is better because of it15 years later.

“I believe regionallywe are better prepared todo more of a regional re-sponse to these type of di-sasters. If it hit againthere would be a wholeother layer of support tothe communities to utilizeto respondbetter,”Wrightsaid.

When Clint Rhodes beganworking at the Blue Ash JimmyJohn’s almost two years ago, the18-year-old senior at SycamoreHigh School’s Aves Academywasin it foronething: thedough.

“Working at Jimmy John’swas a way for me to make mon-ey,” Rhodes said. “It never oc-curred to me that it would beanything other than a job.”

Never say “never.’Aves Academy, Sycamore’s

progressive, technology-in-fusedonlineeducationprogram,provides a new way for highschool students to prepare fortheir futures in a non-traditional

way. The program made it pos-sible for Rhodes to work in theafternoons, instead of being lim-ited to evening or weekendshifts likemany traditional highschool students.

“Clint was determined tograduate on time in 2014, be-tweenworking his job at JimmyJohn’s and school work. He hasattended the morning session atAves Academy for the last twoyears so he could then gostraight from Aves to his job atJimmy John’s,” said MarileeTanner,AvesAcademyadminis-trator.

Apparently all those extra

shifts paid off, as Rhodes waschosenas oneof the three repre-sentatives from the JimmyJohn’s BlueAsh location to com-pete in the national SandwichMasters competition in Las Ve-gas.

“Every store has a team tryout and the team has to make 10sandwiches in less than fiveminutes,” Rhodes said. “It maysoundeasy,butcorporatejudgesstudy the sandwiches, measur-ing the placement of toppingsandmore. It’s a little crazy, but ithas to be very exact.”

Despite strict judging crite-ria, Rhodes and the Jimmy

John’s Blue Ash team took sec-ond-place in the nation at theconvention, earning the threeperson team $25,000.

“So far, I’m holding on to themoney,” Rhodes said. “I plan toinvest it, but haven’t decidedyethow to make the most of it.”

When asked if hemight even-tually use some of the winningsto open a sandwich franchisehimself, Rhodes laughed, “It’snot something I’ve thoughtabout, but I didn’t start out to be-comeamaster sandwich-maker,either.”

In other words: never say“never.”

Aves Academy studentnamed ‘Sandwich Master’

Sycamore High School studentClint Rhodes was chosen as oneof the three representatives fromthe Jimmy John’s Blue Ashlocation to compete in thenational Sandwich Masterscompetition in Las Vegas. PROVIDED

MILFORD — City Coun-cil will conduct a publichearing Tuesday, April 22,on whether to joinSymmes Township in cre-ating an income tax in thetownship with revenuesbenefiting Milford andSymmes.

The hearing in Milfordwill begin at 7 p.m. at cityhall, 745 Center St., afterwhich Milford City Coun-

cil will vote on a proposedcontract with SymmesTownship for a joint eco-nomic development zonein the township.

If the zone is greenlighted byMilford counciland by a vote of SymmesTownship residents in No-vember, a board oversee-ing the zone will assess a0.75-percent incometax inSymmes Township com-mercial areas, MilfordCityManager JeffWrightsaid.

The tax would not beassessed in residentialareas in Symmes Town-ship or anywhere in Mil-ford.

Milford would collectthe income tax from thenet profits of businessesthat operate in the jointeconomic developmentzone inSymmesTownshipand via payroll withhold-ing frompeoplewhoworkin the zone.

“After Milford is madewhole on its costs of col-

lecting the tax, 92 percentof the income would bedistributed to SymmesTownship and 8 percentwould be distributed tothe city of Milford,”Wright said.

Wright said he does notknow what amount ofmoney Milford andSymmes Township standto gain in the arrange-ment.

“It is my understand-ing that Brian Elliff, theSymmesTownshipadmin-

istrator, has someoneworking on a revenuestudyofwhat thepotentialamount of income collec-tions from employees andbusiness net profits couldbe,” Wright said.

Ohio law prohibitstownships fromcollectingincome taxes.

Symmes Township willhave a public hearingabout the joint economic-development zone at 7p.m. April 23 at the SafetyCenter, Elliff said. The

township has a proposedplan of what part of thetownship will be includedin the zone, he said.

In the case of Milfordand Symmes Township,city residents would notvote on the proposed jointeconomic-developmentzone because the zone andtaxes levied would not bein Milford.

Elliff said it is too earlyto tell whether voters willsupport the joint econom-ic-development zone.

SYCAMORE TWP. — The smallnets have been in place and thesticks are on the move as thehigh school lacrosse seasonshifts into highgear. The follow-ing is a rundown of some of theteams in the Northeast Subur-ban Life coverage area.

Sycamore» Thewalkfromtheschoolor

the Gregory Center to Syca-more High School’s new la-crosse surface might be a brisk30 seconds. It’s a much moresuitable training situation forboth lacrosse squads that usedtouse theSycamorefootball sta-dium behind the district middleschool on Cooper Road.

With 15 straight winning sea-sons, a couple of state titles anda runner-up finish in the Divi-sion I finals a year ago, youcould say Sycamore’s girls de-served the luxury. Last year’sleague and district championswound up16-5-1 after their finalloss at Mason last spring.

The next state semifinal willbe a further drive for coach Ed-die Clark and company.

“They moved it to a centrallocation in Columbus,” Clarksaid.

With nine starters returning,anotherstate titlecouldbe in themaking.

“Winning one is easy,” Clarksaid. “Winning more than one ishard. We’re experienced andknow what it takes to get to thefinal four. We have a lot of scor-ing and return most of our de-fense, but we’re young as wellwith only five seniors and sevenfreshmen.”

Veterans returning for Syca-more are senior attack CassieMcDowell, senior midfielderKara Marth and Ashley Bon-noitt, senior goalie Abby Wiseand junior midfielder LizzyMacVittie. All are consideredcollege prospects along with ju-nior midfielder Maddie Locke,sophomore goalie Haley Ray-burn and sophomore midfield-ers Evie Goodyear and EvaThorn.

In addition to having a talent-ed roster, Clark also raves abouthis squad’s academic accom-plishments.

“I’m the dumbest one on thebus,” he said.

Upcoming games for the La-dyAves arewithMasonApril17and at New Albany April 21.

GregCole’sAviatorboysarealso enjoying the easy access ofthe lushgreenandgoldartificialturf on the Sycamore HighSchool grounds.

“We used to have to move allof our equipment, all of ourgoals and all of our balls,” Colesaid. “This is a dream. Thestands aremore appropriate forlacrosse and we get to come outof our school. The lights are onand it’s part of the experience.”

Future plans include signageindicating past athletic and aca-demic All-Americans and statechampionships. Though not ex-clusively made for lacrosse,there are permanent lacrosselines stitched into the fieldwhich isalsousedforsoccerandsome football. Nets will remainavailable at the field and non-school season tournaments arealso on the schedule.

In 2013, the Aves were 12-7.This spring, they’ll feature sen-ior midfielder Sean Cliver, sen-ior attack Jordan Argyriou, ju-nior attackTylerHegyesi, soph-omore defense Tommy Barn-horst, sophomore attackAndrew Cardenas and sopho-more midfielder Michael Sorg-er.

Seniors Cliver and Argyriouare Wilmington College com-mits with the ability to score.Hegyesi already has the recordforunderclassmenassistsandisclimbing the career list in as-sists, groundballs and face-offwin percentage.

“We’re very confident withour defense,” Cole said. “Our of-fense lost a lot. We have guyswhowere role players that haveto step into starting positions.Our attack is returning with Ty-ler Hegyesi running our of-fense.”

Alex Hinkle is also commit-ted to play at Concordia in Wis-consin. Hegyesi and Barnhorstwill likely field college offers atsome point.

“Tommy (Barnhorst) is a ga-zelle in the open field,” Colesaid. “He’s the guy that you no-tice up and down the field.”

In goal, Mark Reinhart is aNational Merit Finalist and sec-ond-year starter.

Like most programs, a fairamountoffootballplayersadoptthe lacrossediscipline in spring.Cole is in tune with it all as healso assists head football coachScott Dattilo in the fall whenmanyofhisguysareon thegrid-iron.

“We really commit to theweight room,” Cole said. “If itcame to a battle between foot-ball and lacrosse inOhio, I knowwho wins the battle. We, in es-sence, do the same lifting asfootball and this year we madebiggains.Wetrytoreturnbetterathletes to football.”

Upcoming games for Syca-more’s boys are with defendingstate champion MariemontApril 16 at home and at SevenHills April 19.

Ursuline Academy»Head coach Todd Vollmer

graduated seven players andfive starters from a team thatstarted slowly and had a solidtournament run to finish .500last season.

The Lions look similar in theearly going this year, getting offto a 3-3 start.

“We went 3-3 in the first sixgames, but were four goalsaway from being 5-1,” Vollmer

said. “As a girls Catholic schoolwe don’t have a feeder system.We have kids coming in from alldifferent programs and it takesusa littlebitof timetogetevery-one on the same page. We enjoythe teaching aspect of it.

“Right now our defense isgood and our goalie is the back-bone of that defense. We’re try-ing to find away tomake our of-fense more productive. With alot of newgirls towork in, we’rejust a few spots away from be-ing where we want to be.”

The goalie in question issophomore Sarah Doyle, who isup from the JV team. She’smissed the veteran play of Mol-ly Matthews on defense; she isout for the year with an ACL in-jury. Junior defender ClaireGrubermissed the early part ofthe season with injury, too, butshould be back in top form soon.

Claudia Rafi - a DennisonUniversity recruit - is leadingtheteamwithsixgoalspergamefrom her attack position, whilesenior Abby Main and sopho-more Lily Baldwin patrol themidfield.

Vollmer said he thinks theGGCLwill be typically tough.

“It used to be a three-teamrace,”hesaid.“Nowifyou’renotprepared you’re going to drop agameyoudon’twant todrop.Ev-erybody has improved.”

Cincinnati Hills ChristianAcademy

» The Eagle boys went 2-12last season, but second-yearhead coach Brandon Sammonsonly graduated one player andsees better things ahead in 2014.

“We’re a young program andwe’re building from the groundup,” Sammons said. “This is go-ing tobeabigyear forus tostartgetting our name out there as aprogram that compete withsome of the more establishedteams.”

Part of the optimism stemsfrom better numbers; CHCAhas 22 players on the roster af-ter finishing last year with only13. More good news, the top twoscorers from last year return injunior attack Josh Eckert (43goals) and senior attack CammKennedy (23 goals). SeniorNick

Marsh moves up front afterplaying midfield as a junior.

The midfield now featuressenior James Grazely with ju-niors Justin Stagnaro and JoelParoz. The defense includesseniors PierceKibby andMikeyCollins workingwith juniors Jo-nah James and Payne Vander-woude. Senior Conner Kirbabsreturns for his third year asstarting goalie.

“I think our defense is muchimproved this year; we havereally progressed,” Sammonssaid. “Offensively we’re kind ofyoung and don’t have a lot ofguys who are true lacrosse-in-their-blood kind of guys, butthey are good athletes from oth-er sports. Insteadof takingwhatthe defense gives them, they’relearning to be more aggressiveandmake thedefensegive themwhat they want.”

For the girls, head coach Ca-tieHornsbyhas a young teamofher own.

“Sincewe’re a relatively newteamwith a lot of young playerswho have never played thegame before, we’re really justlearning how to play the game,”Hornsby said. “There’s a lot ofteaching.”

TheEagles have a trio of sen-iors to help bridge the experi-encegap.Theoccupyeverypartof the field with Brittany South-erland at attack, Kimmi Bolsin-ger in the midfield and SabrinaKazee on defense.

SophomoreChazzCowellwillhelp bolster the back line, whileclassmate Claire Drosos playsmidfield.

“Wehaveagreat attitudeandgood intensity,” Hornsby said.“We’reprettystrongondefense.We can use a little work whenwe’re in transition through themidfield. We have to be able toget the ball into scoring positionbetter.”

Moeller» The Crusaders were 13-7

last year and have a new headcoach. Sean McGinnis takesover after recently being atOlentangyOrange in Columbus.

On offense Moeller will fea-tureseniorsDavidSturgis (Rob-

ert Morris commit), BrendanKing, Collin Rice (John Carrollcommit) and junior Jacob Ro-gan.

Defensively, three more fu-ture college players are on theprowl with senior Eddie Kunkel(Bellarmine) and juniors JackToomb (Robert Morris) andGrant Clark (Siena). Goalkeep-ers are Andrew Cook andMitchNeutupski.

“There’s a new attitudeamong the team,” McGinnissaid. “We’vechangedupthewaywe play and made the defensemore aggressive. The offense ismotion/uptempo, which feedsinto our player’s strengths.”

A notable loss this season isSamHubbard has committed toOhio State for football and is notplaying this spring. A year ago,Hubbard was a Notre Dame la-crosse commit.

Mount Notre Dame» Coach Russell Mackey’s

Cougars are coming off a 14-3season (6-0 GGCL) season in2013 that saw them finish as No.8 in Ohio Division I. Anotherleague title in 2014 would makeit three in a row forMND.

TheCougars return six start-ers in seniorsMoriah Flynn andMolly McGeeney and juniorsRachel Rein, Sam DeVore, AliWiethe and Jess Burris. Sopho-moreKelseyBeitman is also ex-pected to contribute.

Flynn isMND’s all-time lead-ing scorer and is headed to playat Marquette.

“Moriahhasscored170varsi-ty goals in her two and a quarteryears,” Mackey said. “She’s oneof the area’s prolific players.”

Senior McGreevey is slatedtoplayatGrandValleyStateandother Cougars are exploring op-tions. Junior Rein has turnedinto one of the better players insouthern Ohio despite not play-ing the game until two yearsago.

The speedyCougars also fea-ture five US Lacrosse All-Aca-demic players.

“We have the ability to scoreand are conditioned better thanin past years,” Mackey said ofthe current season.

Ahead for Mount NotreDame is an April 29 game atMcAuley.

Cincinnati Country Day» Chris Stokley takes over

the head coaching reins for anIndians boys team with 15 play-ers on the roster, including fiveseniors. However, with no ju-niors on the squad, CCD is rela-tively inexperienced on the var-sity level.

Stokley won a state title in2002 playing for Indian HillHigh School and played in goalfor the club lacrosse teamat theUniversity of Tennessee

“We’re young, but it’s good,”Stokley said. “We’re getting bet-ter every day. We kind of had tobreak them down from the topand and teach some fundamen-tals and get back to the basics.”

Senior midfielders BlakeThomas and Matt Zalida serveas team captains, while sopho-more Will Brady will be an of-fensivesparkasanattack.Soph-omore Sam Jenkins plays de-fense in front of freshman goal-ie Stephen Curtis.

“The strength of this team iswe never give up,” Stokley said.

TimMcKay takes overfor SpencerDunningwiththe high school Braves,but is plenty familiarwiththe players having

coached IndianHill’smid-dle school squad. McKaywon a state title with thejunior high in 2009 andalso coaches the CincyRoyals 2017 Elite teamduring the summer withhis son and formerBrave,Ian McKay.

“A lot of these guysplayed for me in middleschool,” McKay said.“They’re good kids.”

Another unique pres-ence is seniorKarlKosterfrom Indian Hill’s basket-ball team.

“It’s very hard to (de-fend) a 6-9 guy,” McKaysaid. “He’s played foryears. I ran an offense forhim in middle schoolwhere I put him in themiddle and said, ‘Karl,stand there andwe’ll handyou the ball.’”

Seniors Ben Frazier,BradCollins,BenBrenda-mour and Finley Quibleadd valuable experience.Michael Hamiltonwould’vebeenaseniorde-fender but will miss theseason with a knee injury.

The Braves have 16seniors in all on the squadand will take on 10 Divi-sion I teams this spring.No one stands out morethan their neighbors fur-ther down Miami Avenuein Mariemont. The

Fifteen years ago seemslike an eternity, but somememories are still fresh likeyesterday.

When the tornado struckthis area 15 years ago, on April9, 1999, at 5 a.m., most of uswere still in our beds asleep.This horrible tragedy tookfour lives and destroyed manypeople’s homes and business-es.

This tragedy changed manyof our lives and we discoveredan outpouring of humanity inthe days and weeks that fol-lowed. The stories of generos-ity and caring soothed the painof rebuilding our homes. Mostof us were blessed to comeaway with our lives and fam-ilies intact, to have insurance,and to live in municipalities

that wereequipped tohandle a disas-ter of thismagnitude.

This eventshowed mehow communi-ties can cometogether towork togetheron a variety oflevels to bring

organization to chaos. For meit was an eye opener to whatthe city of Blue Ash was capa-ble of doing in a crisis situa-tion. On all levels, the city’sadministration, fire, police andservice department’s employ-ees pitched in and dedicatedtheir time to doing as much asthey could to help clean up the

damage throughout the city.Most of the work was well

beyond their call of duty. Itwas personal to the employees.This is as much their city as itis the residents,’ and theybrought their “can-do” atti-tudes with them to makethings right again. Along theway, I got to know these peopleand they got to knowme.

A story of kindness thatcame out of this tragedy waswhen our fire departmentfound out that one of myneighbor’s homes had beendestroyed by the tornado, andtheir small daughter’s birth-day was a week later. Sadly,she had lost her bicycle to thestorm. The fire departmenttook up a collection and sur-prised her with a new bicycle.

The look on her face waspriceless and the kindnesswould never be forgotten.

Another story was how alarge number of Blue Ashbusinesses stepped forwardand donated money toward theresident’s uninsured costs.Residents applied for thisgrant money to cover theiruninsured damages from treesetc. that wouldn’t normally becovered. This generosity byour businesses helped manyfamilies get back on their feetsooner than normal.

People ask, “What makesBlue Ash special?” I knowfirst-hand and will never for-get what these people did tohelp rebuild the city of BlueAsh. Three years after thetornado, I was asked to join the

City Planning Commission,eventually I became a council-man, and I am now the mayor.I see my public service as myway of saying thank you backto all of those who helped re-build the city and my neigh-borhood. Every day I thankthese dedicated people whowork for us who make meproud to say “I live in the cityof Blue Ash.”

Time heals a lot of things.Trees can be replanted. Homesand businesses can be rebuilt.But people are what matterthe most and when we worktogether in good times or bad,we can always accomplish anytask put before us.

Lee Czerwonka is mayor of BlueAsh.

OUR ELECTIONS LETTERS,COLUMNS POLICY

April 9 questionWould you support tolls for a

new Brent Spence Bridge if thatwas the only way to get thebridge replaced?

“Absolutely. I'd support tollseven if therewere other optionsto get it built. Toll roads andbridges are an everyday part oflife in many areas of the coun-try. We have somehow beensheltered from this reality.

“Tolls are a reasonable wayto pay for necessary infrastruc-tureandplaces thecoston thosewho actually use it. Put up thetoll booths and let's git 'erdone!”

R.W.J.

“Absolutely NOT! Can youimagine the traffic jams fromboth sides if this would happen!

“Tell Congress to stop givingbillions of dollars in foreign aidand keep the monies for pro-jects like this at home!”

O.H.R.

“Yes, I definitely would sup-port tolls. I frequently travel inand around Chicago and havenot found tolls cumbersomethere.

“The bridge is unsafe andneeds tobe replaced. If tolls canmovetheproject forwardASAPI say go for it!”

S.J.P.

“Yes - as long as discountedEZ Passes are made availablefor area residents who use the

bridge on a regular basis. As alife-long Cincinnati native Ihave watched this interstatebridge (one of the busiest in theUS) deteriorate under the over-use towhich it hasbeensubject-ed since it opened in Novemberof 1963.

“It was obsolete the day theribbonwas cut, it's a vital north/south commerce and transpor-tation link and if tolls are theonlyway toget it built thenwe'llall have to bite the bullet andpitch in (better than paying fortheBengalsstadiumwewereallhijacked into building)! 'Nuffsaid.”

M.M.

“I would support the toll un-der any circumstances. Wetravel throughout the U.S., andhave never had a problem with"pay to ride". If you use thebridge, you should help pay forit.

J.K.

“Yes! The bridge needs to bereplacedandtollsmakesense tome.”

E.E.C.

“Gosh. My Dad always saidthat the first thing governmentdoes for Americans with theirhard-earned tax deposits is tohave safe roads and efficientbridgesfor itscitizens.Thentheother stuff.

“Congress, including ourscared local reps (scared of los-ing sacred cow citizen money),are an embarrassment on thisissue. No spine, no roads, nobridges. When's the election?”

K.P.

“Yes, I grew up in Philadel-phiawhere all the bridges toNJwere toll bridges. Then I livedfor a time in Baltimore andfound much of the same.

“Ihavebeen inCincinnati formany years without tolls andwould consider those years 'agift'. You use it, you pay for it isa better concept to me than ourstadium taxes!”

“Tolls should only be used ifthe fedsmake a nationwide pol-icy that theyareno longergoingto fund ANY bridge replace-ments ANYWHERE.

“Otherwise, when the bridgebecomes truly structurally de-ficient (risk of collapse) as op-posed to functionally obsolete(not up to today's standards)they'll have no choice but to po-

ny up money.”P.C.

“I would grudgingly supporttolls on the new bridge, provid-ed that would guarantee thattherewould beno additional taxburden placed upon HamiltonCounty property owners to payfor the bridge, like they did forthe stupid stadiums (especiallyPaul Brown stadium).

“Whomever agreed to the ri-diculous terms for financingand maintaining Brown stadi-um ought to be severely chas-tised. Tolls would make a mod-icum of sense on the bridge, butonly if the method of collectionwere E-ZPass style.”

M.F.

“Yes, but I am not convincedthat tolls are necessary. TomBrokaw’s book, ‘The GreatestGeneration’ speaks of the gen-eration that, among otherachievements, built the toll-free Brent Spence Bridge.

“Brokaw’s Greatest Genera-tion overcame the Great De-pression, the Dust Bowl days,WWII and went forward withtheBabyBoom. Theywere ableto build a modest interstatehighwaybridge over amedium-sized river in the Midwest withno tolls. This was done at thesame time President LyndonJohnson was undertaking theconstruction of ‘TheGreat Soci-ety.’

“What are succeedinggener-ations doing or failing to do in

order to match that achieve-ment? It seems apparent thatAmerica is going in the wrongdirection and has been for dec-ades, andwecannot seeourwayto assert ourselves as contend-ersfor thetitle ‘GreatestGener-ation.’ We should hang ourheads in shame.”

R.V.

“Tolls are not the onlyway toget the bridge built. But imag-ine turning a third of Covingtonor a fifth of downtown Cincin-nati into the staging area for thecars and trucks thatwould haveto slow down to make the pay-ment.Orput the toll plaza at 275in Erlanger. Then the newbridge could be much smallerbecause people would goaround the loop.”

Leukemia & LymphomaSociety’s Team In Train-

ing because of its reputation asthe world’s leading endurancesports charity training pro-gram.Raising funds to supportlife-saving cancer researchalso appeal to them, as manyparticipants have a connectionto the mission of LLS.

ForMollyandRyanRebholzof Liberty Township, John andMelanie Lipps of Maineville,Cameron and Mary SimoneauofKentonCounty,andBrandonHoehnandAshleySmith,TeamIn Training not only impactedtheirwayof life, but it changedthe course of their lives. Now,the Tri-State Chapter of LLS iscelebratingwith themasMollyand Ryan, John and Melanie,and Cameron and Mary wel-comenewbabies, andBrandonand Ashley begin countingdown the days to their wed-ding. Through TNT, these cou-ples were able to meet theirsoul mates, and create lifelongfriendships with each other aswell.

Molly joined Team In Train-ing in 2007 in memory of heraunt, and Ryan began trainingwithTNTin2008inhonorofhisnephew, Sawyer, who was bat-tling acute myeloid leukemia.WithTNTtheybenefittedfromexpert coaching and the oppor-tunity tobepartofasupportiveteam. Both liked the thought ofmeetingpeoplewith similar in-terests and fitness goals.

First, the twowere enjoyingthe many friendships theymade while training for theFlying Pig Marathon in 2008,but the bond they felt as team-mates developed into some-thing stronger. They complet-ed the Rock N Roll Marathon,together, in Seattle in June2009, and in August 2011, RyanandMolly got married.

Just beforeRyancompletedAmerica’s Beautiful Bike Ridein Lake Tahoe, raising over

$3,000 for LLS, he and Mollyannounced that they were ex-pecting their first child. In No-vember, Molly and Ryan wel-comed futureTNTparticipant,Logan Patrick, into their lives.

Similarly, John andMelaniemet in 2007 when they weretrainingfortheFlyingPigMar-athonwith TNT. The bond theyfelt through themission of LLSled to a romance, and they also

got married in August 2011.Melanie and John continued tosupportTNTascoachesfor theprogram and helped hundredsof participants cross the finishline, even though Melanie wassix months pregnant. In 2012,theywelcomed their first babygirl, Jordyn, and just broughttheir second bundle of joy,Jocelyn, into the world in De-cember.

CameronandMaryalsometduring TNT’s 2007 spring sea-sonwhen theywere both train-ing for the Flying Pig Mara-thoninhonorof lovedones.Ma-ry’s mother was battling non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma at thetime and is now cancer free,and Cameronwas drawn to theorganization because hisgrandmother passed from leu-kemia. Their love budded, and

they got married in June 2009.In 2010 Mary and Cameronopened up Tri-State RunningCompany in Edgewood, KY,and the store has since been apartner with TNT. Cameronand Mary have a daughter,Reagan, and just had their sec-ond child, Brady, in January!

Brandon completedhis firstTNTevent in 2011at the FlyingPigMarathon, and hemet Ash-ley, of Blue Ash, when she be-ganattendingTNTworkouts totrain for the Madrid Marathonin the fall of 2011. InApril, 2012,they completed the MadridMarathon together, and havesince completed eight othermarathonorhalfmarathons to-gether. Team In Training hasplayed such an important rolein their lives that Brandon pro-posed to Ashley in October at aTNT group workout.

“Being a part of Team InTraining was a life-changingexperience,” Brandon said. “Iwasable toaccomplishmygoalof completing a marathonwhile doing something to helpotherpeople,andfindingsome-body to share it allwithmade itevenmore meaningful.”

TNT's dynamic, individual-ized training program enablesparticipants to realize theirdream of completing a mara-thon, half marathon, triathlon,centuryrideorhikeadventure.TNTalsoprovidesparticipantswith mentors and online webpages to helpwith fundraising,and great clinics on topics likegear, apparel, nutrition and in-jury prevention.

As I do every year atEaster, I will be continu-ing a tradition with thelittle ones that has beenin our family for genera-tions: coloring Eastereggs with natural dyes,including onion skins,turmeric, beet juice andred cabbage.

These natural dyescreate soft hues of yel-low, teal blue, light pinkand brick red. I’veshared these recipesbefore, but if you needthem, check out Aboutea-ting.com. I’ll be showingDanWells and JessicaBrown, anchors on Fox 19Saturday morning showhow to make them. Tunein at 9:45 on Saturday,April 19.

And remember thosefolks who may 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

to taste onglaze in-gredients,using less,or more ofeach ingre-dient. 1-1/2cups hon-ey; 3/4 cupmolasses. Iuse unsul-phured 3/4

cup bourbon, 1/2 cup + 2tablespoons orange juiceconcentrate, thawedDijon mustard. I startwith 3 generous table-spoons and go fromthere.

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: To make it taste

like 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 wereraised as to the best wayto clean baked on coat-ings of cheese in pan.Squirt dishwashing soapinto the pan, cover with abit of boiling water.Leave overnight, thenwash 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 thetrick.

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 yourhome may 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 val-ued on the HamiltonCounty Auditor’s websiteas being worth $521,000,is valued by an insurancecompany at $875,000.

The insurance compa-ny came up with themuch higher value be-cause it’s based on thereplacement cost of thehouse. Meanwhile, theauditor’s valuation isbased on the marketvalue of the property.

Market value canvary greatly dependingon the location of theproperty. For instance, ahouse in a depressed cityneighborhood may bevalued at $100,000, whilethe exact same houselocated in a nice suburbcould be valued at morethan $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 ma-

terials andwage in-creases.

Premi-ums willgo up asnecessaryto allowinsurancecompaniesto not onlymake a

profit, but to insure theyhave enough money tocover future disasters.It’s important to discussthe type 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 yourhome 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.

TheMetropolitan Sew-erDistrictofGreaterCin-cinnati has been named a2014 U.S. Water PrizeWinner by the U.S. WaterAlliance.MSDwasselect-ed for the national awardbecauseof itsgreen infra-structure strategy to re-duce water pollution,beautify neighborhoodsand help spark economicdevelopment.

“MSD is leading theway by rethinking water-shed strategies and im-plementing wet weathersolutions that serve as anational model to utilitiesaround the country,” saidBen Grumbles, presidentof the U.S. Water Alli-ance. “Their green infra-structure strategy is win-ning support fromregula-tors, environmentalistsand businesses.”

“It is an honor to berecognized by the U.S.

Water Alliance for our ef-forts tomake our commu-nity cleaner and healthi-er,” said Tony Parrott, ex-ecutive director of Great-er Cincinnati WaterWorks and the Metropoli-tan Sewer District ofGreater Cincinnati. “Thisaward exemplifies the in-novative workMSD is do-ing to keep water clean,safe and secure, whilealso revitalizing theneighborhoods whereprojects are being con-structed.”

The U.S. Water Prizewas initiated four yearsagoby theU.S.WaterAlli-ance to highlight organi-zations with strategiesthat promote the value ofwater and thepowerof in-novating and integratingwater sustainability solu-tions.

MSD was nominatedfor theawardbytheHam-

ilton County RegionalPlanning Commission.

Nominations were re-viewed by an indepen-dent, volunteer panel ofjudges respected as lead-ers in the fields of waterand environmental policyincluding representa-tives from Virginia Techand the U.S. Conferenceof Mayors.

MSD is under a federalmandate to treat, capture,or remove 85 percent ofthe annual 11 billion gal-lons of combined seweroverflows and eliminateall sanitary overflows. Tomeet this requirement,MSD launched ProjectGroundwork, a multi-year initiative composedof hundreds of sewer im-provement and stormwa-ter mitigation projects.Many of the strategies in-clude green infrastruc-ture techniques.
