The advice from commuterswho use westbound/northboundInterstate 275 in the morning:prepare to wait.

The word from ODOT: don’texpect a solution any time soon.

Officials say that stretch ofthe interstate, from about U.S.50 in Milford and past Inter-state 71, is no worse than otherareas, but drivers who travel itregularly know the headaches.

Linda Pennington Radarlives near Shaw Farm off Ohio131. She accesses I-275 via Ohio28. Her trip begins at 5 a.m. andeven at that early hour trafficcan be a hassle.

“I have missed the 71 exitramp three times due to peoplenot letting me over,” she said. “Ihad to go up to the next exit, do aU-turn and come back.”

She’s only seen a few inci-dents of road rage in the morn-ing. Overall, Rader said themorning commute is fairlygood. That’s if she’s running ontime. If for some reason she’srunning late, the experience isnot as good.

Radar begins her return triphome around 4 p.m. and trafficis typically heavy. Regardlessof morning or afternoon, dailytravel challenges exist. So, whathappens if the unexpected oc-curs?

“If there’s an accident eitherway you are screwed. If there issnow, you are screwed,” Radarsaid.

Mike Mills, assistant chief ofthe Miami Township Police De-partment in Clermont County,

said poor driving habits arelargely responsible for morningrush hour congestion.

“This is not a new problem,”Mills said. “People are eithernot merging properly, or thedrivers on the highway arejumping lanes at the last minuteand hitting their brakes a littletoo hard instead of smoothlymerging. That causes a rippleeffect.”

As new subdivisions havepopped up near that stretch of

interstate in recent years, thatalso has increased the numberof drivers using I-275 for theirmorning commute to jobs inplaces like Blue Ash and Shar-onville.

“If you go through there be-fore 7 a.m., you usually have nostoppages,” Mills said. “Butshortly after 7:15 a.m., it’s stopand go congestion.”

The Ohio Department ofTransportation has no plans tomake changes, even though it

knows it can be maddening tomaneuver weekday mornings,said Elizabeth Lyons, a publicinformation specialist with thedepartment’s district office inLebanon.

“Some factors in this equa-tion include this area goes fromthree lanes to two and traffic isexiting to northbound andsouthbound (Interstate) 71 andtraffic is entering and exiting atU.S. 22 and Loveland-MadeiraRoad,” Lyons said

Sharon Smigielski, the pub-lic information officer for theOhio Department of Transpor-tation’s Lebanon office, said alane was last added to I-275 inClermont County in 2002-2003.Although improvements areplanned for various inter-changes along that stretch of in-terstate, there are no plans toadd any more lanes to I-275 be-tween the U.S. 50 exit in MiamiTownship and the U.S. 42 exit inSharonville.

“Congestion is an issue onany interstate routes duringmorning and evening rushhour,” Smigielski said. “OnI-275 from Wards Corner Roadto I-71 it’s particularly notice-able. The morning congestionseems to be a little bit worsethan the afternoon rush hour be-cause in the afternoon, peopleare leaving work at staggeredtimes.”

Mike Robison, public infor-mation officer for the HamiltonCounty Sheriff’s Department,said accident reports alongI-275 do not seem significantlyhigher than other Tristate inter-states, although he said specific

statistics were not available atpress time.

“(However) it is a high traf-fic, highly-congested area dur-ing rush hour,” he said. “Botheastbound and westbound(I-275) are routinely backedup.”

Robison said these traffic de-lays, though, seem to be in linewith similar delays on otherhighways.

Diana Carter lives in MiamiTownship in Paxton Lake. Everymorning around 8:15 a.m. shegets on I-275 to access I-71 onher way to Cincinnati.

“After I drop off my hus-band, Mike, I drive north on 71to east 275 to the route 28 exit,”Carter said.

“The morning drive is al-ways very unpredictable. I- 275can be moving around 65 mph to25 mph or it can be at a totalstandstill. It always depends onthe weather, if school is in ses-sion, and the conditions of thebridge over the Little Miami,”she said.

“Getting on 275 is alwaysslow at Wards Corner. Mergingwith the traffic slows all of thelanes. It takes approximately 15minutes to get from Wards Cor-ner to 71. Once you get to thebridge over the Little Miami itwill speed up somewhat but itcan slow down as you approachMontgomery Road.”

Carter’s afternoon commutebegins around 4 p.m. when sheagain travels I-275 and I-71backdowntown to pick up her hus-band.

FORREST SELLERS/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Motorists travel along I-275 during morning rush hour.

GOING SOMEWHERE - SLOWLY

Commuters will have to put up with I-275 headaches, or find another way

FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCECommunity Press reporters Forrest Sellers and Sheila Vilvens traveled

Interstate 275, from U.S. 50 toward Interstate 71, on a recent Tuesdaymorning. Here are their comments:

“We slowed down around Wards Corner through Loveland-Madeira.As we went up the hill this morning’s traffic seemed to improve a bitand then got thick and chewy again near Montgomery. Oddly enough,as we traveled under the Montgomery Road overpass, the traffic was alittle lighter again, to heavier. For this morning, at least, the I-71 in-terchange and reduction down to two lanes did not seem to be thefactor.”

You can see a video from their drive at Cincinnati.com.

GOING THE OTHER WAYMonfort Heights resident Janelle Schunk said she typically drives on

I-275 from the Blue Rock exit to Milford. A teacher at Milford HighSchool, she said she travels on the interstate around 5:50 a.m. and in theafternoon around 3 p.m.

“I haven’t run into too many delays,” she said. “Usually when I runinto a delay, it is around the (Cincinnati Mall) exit.”

Schunk said she also frequently notices tie ups around the Mt. Healthyexit.

“A lot of it is traffic getting off at those two exits,” she said.Schunk said she wishes traffic updates would focus on I-275 as much

as on some of the more heavily traveled interstates such as I-71 and I-75.“One of the most frustrating things about driving I-275 is the acci-

dents and delays are not reported,” she said.

See TRAFFIC, Page A2

Community Press Staff Report

“Traffic is moving rightalong usually with no diffi-culty. However, when I re-turn from downtown at ap-proximately 4:50 p.m. andget on east I-275 it is veryslow all the way to WardsCorner exit,” Carter said.“Speeds range from 30-40mph or stop and go. Timecan range from 15 to 25minutes.”

Miami Township resi-dent Jennifer Buxtonstarts her morning tripfrom 7:15 to 7:30 a.m. trav-eling from the I-275 exit 57in Milford to make herway to northbound I-75.

Then there are the sud-den stops, especiallyaround the Loveland hill.

“Traffic just stops. Itdoesn't help that mostdrivers I see are preoccu-pied with coffee, break-fast, makeup applicationand of course their cellphones. Just drive peo-ple,” Buxton said.

Neighboring communi-ties will see a spillover, es-pecially after an accident.

Depending on wherethe accident is on I-275,traffic might get divertedthrough Montgomery,Montgomery Police Sgt.Mike Plaatje said.

“The amount of acci-dents have gone down. Ithas gotten better. I know ifyou have gotten caught init it might not seem like it,but a new surface has beenadded to the ramps (thathas decreased the number

of accidents),” Plaatjesaid.

He said traffic divert-ing through Montgomerycan cause backups on Cor-nell Road and PfeifferRoad. “But, it doesn’t takemuch for those to getbacked up,” he added.

Plaatje said the part ofI-275 that goes throughMontgomery covers mul-tiple jurisdictions and it iscovered by the HamiltonCounty Sheriff’s Office.

“We put a higher priori-ty in the city, but when anaccident occurs out therethey are going to get off onMontgomery Road. It isgoing to have a ripple ef-fect,” Plaatje said.

Blue Ash Lt. SteveSchueler said since such asmall portion of I-275, only0.2 miles, if the city eversees a problem it is be-cause of traffic being di-verted.

“When something hap-pens out there it dumps alot of traffic into ourstreets,” Schueler said,adding most problems hehas seen have been in theafternoon.

Loveland-Symmes FireDepartment Chief Otto

Huber said his depart-ment does not have anysignificant issues relatingto I-275. Loveland PoliceChief Tim Sabransky saidthe stretch of I-275through Loveland is pa-trolled by the HamiltonCounty Sheriff’s Offfice.

For now, it’s hurry upand wait.

“My experience is thatfour out of five days there

are delays from my exit to71. Either an accident orjust slow traffic. It seemsas if the expressway wasnot built for the amount oftraffic it handles,” Buxtonsaid. “It reminds me ofdriving in Los Angeles.”

Reporters Jeanne Houck,Marika Lee, Cindy Schroeder,Forrest Sellers and SheilaVilvens contributed.

TrafficContinued from Page A1

DICK MALONEY/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Traffic on eastbound I-275, headed toward the Little Miami River and Loveland-Madeira Roadexit, is lighter in morning rush hour than traffic going west (toward the camera).

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?According to Elizabeth Lyons, a public informationspecialist with the department’s district office in Leba-non, these are some of the reasons for heavy trafficvolume on Interstate 275, westbound from Milfordtoward Sharonville:» Traffic coming from U.S. 22 headed to southboundI-71 has to merge one lane.» Traffic coming from U.S. 22 headed for northboundI-71 can stay in the auxiliary lane rather than having tomerge.» Traffic coming from U.S. 22 headed to westboundI-275 has to merge two lanes.» Traffic on I-275 headed to northbound I-71 has tomerge one lane.» Traffic on I-275 staying on I-275 or headed to south-bound I-71 does not have to change lanes.Lyons said the two lanes of I-275 over I-71 carry about26,000 vehicles per day. “This is about 2,600 in the peak hour,” Lyons said.“One lane can handle 2,000.”

NUMBERS SHOW MORE WRECKS EASTBOUND

There were at least1,954 accidents onInterstate 275 between state Route 450 inMilford and U.S. 42 in Sharonville betweenJan. 1, 2011, and Dec. 31, 2014, according tothe Ohio Department of Transportation.That number includes wrecks on rampsand at intersections.The 2014 numbers are incomplete becauseinformation about the 2014 wrecks is notdue until March 31.The transportation department also said:» Electronic motorist message boardsoperated by the Ohio Department ofTransportation on Interstate 275 for west-bound traffic between U.S. 22 and In-terstate 71 and for eastbound traffic be-tween Reed Hartman Highway and I-71displayed the “slow traffic” message 155times over the last year.» Eastbound traffic was involved in 926 ofthe 1954 wrecks and westbound, 892.» Of those, 516 (26.4 percent) were in 2011,491 (25.1 percent) in 2012, 494 (25.3 per-cent) in 2013 and 453 (23.2 percent) in

2014.» Five (0.3 percent) of the wrecks involvedfatalities, 417 (21.3 percent) involved in-juries only and 1,532 (78.4 percent) in-volved property damage only.Unsurprisingly, wrecks happened moreoften on weekdays during morning andevening rush hours.» The highest number of wrecks were onTuesdays, with 373 (19.1 percent) of theaccidents from 2011 to 2014.In decreasing order came Thursdays with356 (18.2 percent); Wednesdays with 316(16.2 percent); Fridays with 308 (15.8 per-cent); Mondays with 297 (15.2 percent);Saturdays with 161 (8.2 percent) and Sun-days with 143 (7.3 percent).» Seven o’clock in the morning racked upthe highest number of wrecks insofar asthe time of day with 234 (12 percent).In decreasing order came 5 p.m. with 199(10.2) of the wrecks; 4 p.m. with 163 (8.3percent); 8 a.m. 153 (7.8 percent) and 6p.m. with 152 (7.8 percent).

The National ClassicalEtymology Exam is a50-question assessmenttesting English wordsderived from Latin andGreek. The NCEE is de-signed to test a student’sability to handle bothLatin and Greek deriv-atives and their usage inthe English language.This success stems, notonly from the MoellerWorld Languages Depart-ment philosophy of edu-cating students linguisti-cally, but also educatingthe differing attitudes,histories, and customs ofthese cultures.

Have you everdone this: you buymore meat than youcan use because it’son sale. Sometimesyou remember tofreeze it, sometimesyou don’t.

If that soundslike you, we’re onthe same wave-length.

Last week I bought morechicken breasts than we neededfor dinner. I made chicken noo-dle soup out of some of them andintended to freeze the rest. Be-cause they were hidden out ofsight in the meat bin, I forgotabout them.

When they surfaced severaldays later, the chicken was stillgood enough to eat, but it neededto be cooked right away.

I had a meeting that eveningand couldn’t fuss with a recipethat took too much time or wascomplicated. This no fuss, quickrecipe was just right.

Really good tasting, too.

Use that extra frozen chicken,cleanse with kale salad

Moist and marvelous Parmesan chickenbreasts

1/2 cup real mayonnaise1/4 cup Parmesan or Romano cheeseFew grindings black pepper2 large or 4 smaller skinless, boneless breasts1/3 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs - see Rita’s tip

Preheat oven to 425. Blend mayo and cheese. Put chickenon sprayed cookie sheet. Smear topping on. Sprinkle withcrumbs. Bake 20 minutes or until juices run clear in centerwhen poked with a knife, about 160 internal temperature.Residual heat will continue to cook the chicken even after it’sout of the oven, raising temperature 5 degrees or so. Don’tover bake or chicken will be dry.

Tip: homemade Italian bread crumbs. I had plain crumbsso I stirred in a couple shakes of Italian seasoning.

Annie’s Kale Salad - a cleansing saladMy niece, Annie, brought this salad to our house as a side

dish for dinner. Annie used regular curly kale. We grow Lac-inato/Tuscan kale, which, to my taste, is milder in flavor. Allkales are nutritious with anti-cancer properties: a cup providesmore than 100 percent of the daily value of vitamins K and A,and over 80 percent of vitamin C.

Salad:

1 bunch kale torn into small pieces1-2 tablespoon olive oil1 Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced1/4 cup dried cranberries1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted, or bit more

Dressing:Go to taste on this, adding more of any ingredient if you

want.

1 tablespoon fresh ginger juice - see Rita's tip2-3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar1 teaspoon Dijon mustard2 teaspoons honey1/4 cup olive oilFreshly ground pepper and salt

Whisk together ginger juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijonand honey. Whisk in oil and season to taste. Set aside.

Meanwhile, place kale in bowl and season with salt, pep-per and olive oil. Massage well with hands - this breaks downcellular structure, making it tenderer.

Add in apple, berries and nuts. Toss with dressing to coat.You can make this hours ahead.

Toasting pine nuts: Best done in dry non-stick skillet overlow heat until golden.

Making ginger juice: Grate ginger and squeeze out juice.Or place pieces in garlic press and squeeze out juice. This is the“hardest” part of the recipe since it takes some time. I like tofreeze my ginger root, grate it frozen, and proceed.

Tip: Ginger paste option. Try using a teaspoon or more ofginger paste. Easier by far and a good keeper in the frig.

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

This quick parmesan chicken recipe is an easy way to use extra frozen meat in a jiffy.

The decision to become apilot came early, while sittingin the crotch of a tree watchinga silver DC3 slowly pass overour small town.

It must be fascinating flyinghigh over the earth, being ableto see for miles in any direc-tion, watching cars, trucks andtrains as they move about likeants in the dirt.

The opportunity did notpresent itself until my 20s. Itwas at a small airport namedFreedom Field in Medina,Ohio, just south of Cleveland. Iopened the door to a smallhouse, converted into the flightoperations center, and a wom-an’s voice said, “Please comein.”

There weremany whiteshirttails,marked withdates, hangingaround theroom. “Hi”, Isaid, “Whatare those”pointing to theshirts? “Oh,those are shirt-tails from

people who have soloed.” Thisseemed to be a strange custom,cutting up a shirt after youhave piloted a plane for thefirst time!

“Did you want to take flightinstructions”, she asked? “Yes,’I responded, “I have been

thinking about it.” Actually, I had been think-

ing about it practically all ofmy life; but now, I was havingconcerns. I had just learnedhow expensive it was; I had awife and two children; what ifsomething happened? What theheck…I’m insured…isn’t thatwhat life insurance is allabout?

“Do I need to make an ap-pointment,” I asked? The dooropened, and an older 30ish guywalked in, “no” she said, “thisis your flight instructor, FrankSherick…you’re next.”

“Hi,” he said, “I’ll be withyou in just a minute;” hesigned out the student he waswith. He opened the door, mo-

tioned for me, and we walkedover to a brand new Cessna 152that still had that new airplanesmell, and Frank began toshow me how to do a pre-flightinspection of the aircraft.There are formal checklistsfor all of these inspections; hehanded me one.

The engine sounded smoothand the liftoff was uneventful,much like a commercial flight.

“We will stay in the patterntoday. We will be doing touch-and-gos,” Frank said, as wemade our first 900 left turn at500 feet above ground level.

We made another 900 leftturn on “down wind,” parallelto the runway. We slowed to 70mph as we reached the end of

our runway, maintaining ouraltitude of 500-foot AGL, wepowered to idle, and madeanother 900 left turn to “baseleg.” We began our descent andbefore we reached the runwaywe made our last 900 left turnto “final approach.”

With 100 of flap and no pow-er, the wheels soon touched therunway. This was repeatedseveral times; then, we taxiedback and parked. Frank madeappointments for future les-sons and gave me a log bookand instruction manual to read.

I was on my way to becom-ing a pilot.

Feb. 12 questionShould parents have the right

to decide whether to have theirschool-age children vaccinated,and if they decide not to, shouldthe children be permitted toattend school? Why or why not?

“I believe that parents havethe right to decide on any as-pect of their children’s lives.However, when those decisionshave ramifications of placingthe larger community of chil-dren at risk for sickness ordisease I do not believe thosechildren should be permittedto attend a public or privateschool. Those children can stillreceive their educationthrough home schooling, thehiring of tutors (who are awareof the risks they may be expos-ing themselves to).

“We have come such a longway in eradicating diseases inthe past that were debilitatingor life threatening. There is noreason to regress and exposethe majority of children tothese potential illnesses whenproven vaccines are avail-able.”

C.S.

“Those around during thepolio, tuberculosis (earliersmall pox) and other healththreats were brought up toadhere to vaccinations. TheMMR (measles mumps andrubella) has basically eradicat-ed these maladies. There issome concern (still unproven)that certain vaccinations canhave side effects such as au-tism. I favor the required vac-cinations to allow kids into

schools. Those who do notchose this vaccination path canalways home-school their kids.But there are some who chosenot get a flu shot, but go towork/school with the flu. GoFigure!”

T.D.T.

Feb. 5questionThe governors of Ohio and

Kentucky announced a new planto help pay for a new Brent-Spence Bridge, which includes a50 percent toll discount for dailyusers of the bridge. Is this agood idea? Why or why not?

“I don’t think the newbridge should be paid for withtolls. The federal governmentbuilt the first bridge, as well asthe interstate highways on

either side of it. The federalgovernment should pay thelion’s share of the new bridge.

“Now, I know they don’thave the cash to pay for it; butmoney has never been cheaperto borrow than now.

“For all those folks (U.S.Rep. Steve Chabot included)who say we can’t/shouldn’tborrow anymore money, I wantto ask you this question: Whywas it OK to borrow tens, if nothundreds of billions of dollarsto build roads, bridges, powerplants, etc. in Iraq, but com-pletely out of the question toborrow $2.9 billion to build abridge here or anywhere elsein the United States?

“Maybe that could be nextweek’s Ch@troom question.”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONThe Ohio House recently passedHouse Bill 7, which prohibitsschools from using test scoresfrom state assessments whendetermining a student’s ad-vancement to the next gradelevel and granting of coursecredit. The bill also states thatschools are not permitted toshare individual student testscores to outside sources with-out consent from either thestudent or his or her parents. Isthis good legislation? Why orwhy not?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

AARP is well-known, butnot-so-familiar is the AARPFoundation and its Tax-Aideprogram.

Tax-Aide volunteers pro-vide a valuable service to thepublic, working behind thescenes in a surprisingly help-

ful and hope-ful way eachtax season.Trained vol-unteers servehundreds offamilies an-nually, help-ing them filetheir Federaland Ohiotaxes withouta fee beingcharged. Theprogram

assists low and mid-incomefamilies that are a wide varie-ty of ages. All people are wel-come to take advantage of thisservice.

This service has been inplace in Southwest Ohio formore than 30 years. Informa-tion about the program hasbeen told by one satisfiedperson to another over theyears. Nine sites in Cincin-nati’s East Side communitiesprovide this tax assistancegiven by 70 volunteers. Under-standably, as word getsaround, the need for moresites continues to grow, asdoes the need for more volun-teers.

Each year from Februarythrough mid-April, hundredsof families are assisted on theEast side of Cincinnati alone.This area, Ohio District 19,serves communities fromInterstate 71 East into West-ern Clermont County, fromthe Ohio River north intoLoveland and Milford.

Volunteers are trained andcertified each year to staycurrent with changes in thetax law. The program is com-pletely run by volunteers; infact not even tips are acceptedfor services rendered. Thosereceiving the service do nothave to be a member of AARPnor do they need to be a “sen-ior citizen.” Typically taxpreparation takes about anhour. All returns are doublechecked for Quality Review;all are filed electronically.

There is a pressing needfor more volunteers to betrained for this service. Per-haps as you read this you areinterested in volunteering as aTax Prep Aide. Training/certi-fication will take place inJanuary, and volunteers willbe ready to serve the begin-ning of February.

For information aboutvolunteering or to locate asite,, contact www.aarp.org/volunteer or call 888-687-2277.

On Iranian nuclear negotia-tions, we hear: “No options areoff the table.”

Threats of increased sanc-tions or bombing are on thetable. Israel pushes for abombing campaign, likelyigniting another war, withstrategic benefits for Israeland a trillion dollar cost forthe U.S.

Benny Morris, an Israelihistorian, argued should theU.S. not bomb Iran, Israeliconventional weapons wouldbe inadequate; consequently,Israel would nuke severalsites.

Sheldon Andelson, the fin-ancier of the Likud and Re-publican parties, suggestedthe U.S. drop a nuclear bombon an Iranian desert. The typ-ical option of: each side reduc-ing its nuclear arsenal is noton the table. A negotiatedreduction of Israeli nukes hasno cost to the US.

To put Israeli nukes on thetable requires overriding theambiguous nuclear policy,which ignores the existence ofIsraeli A-bombs. Now is thetime to set a clear policybased upon America’s bestinterests and treaty obliga-tions.

Israeli history and currentevents show it to be an ex-tremist state. It has had: in-creasing religious fanaticism,ethnic cleansing, de jure dis-

criminationand largescale execu-tions of non-violent men.Many warcrimes werecommitted inIsrael’s at-tacks on Gazacivilians dur-ing 2008-2009and again in2014. Israel is

a democracy of sorts; unlikeany western democracy; al-though, similar to Iran’s. Thespecial relationship with Isra-el is not an alliance. Israel hasbeen an espionage problem.Israel’s armed forces know-ingly attacked the USS Liber-ty, killing 34 Americans.

Israel has had its share ofreformed terrorists as nation-al leaders. The massive ethniccleansing approved by BenGurion far exceeds similarcrimes against humanity bythe likes of the Serb, Milosev-ic.

Begin and Shamir, were therespective leaders of twoterrorist groups; the Irgunand the Stern gang. Sharonwas responsible for massa-cres at Sabra and Shatila inLebanon and the village ofQibya. The president of Israel,Reuven Rivlin, a Likudnik,recently called Israel a sicksociety due to the increasing

extremism. Given Israel’srecord, the ambiguous policyis a bad one.

In theory Iran is sanctionedfor violations of the NuclearNon-Proliferation Treaty.Even though Israel is not anNNPT party, there is an NNPTobligation, to remove the Is-raeli nukes.

CIA/FBI evidence is clearthat Israel pilfered, up to, 590pounds, of bomb grade urani-um, from the Apollo Penn-sylvania NUMEC facility, inthe 1960s. Additionally, it ob-tained triggers from the US.Funding for the bomb pro-gram originated with US char-ities. The US by doing nothingpromoted Israeli nucleararms. For NNPT complianceIsrael’s bomb program mustend.

A win-win option could beon the table. Iran agrees toabolish its program, in ex-change of removal of Israelnukes.

If Israel refuses to cooper-ate, then it merits the treat-ment dealt Iran. Withdrawalof Israel aid plus gradualsanctions will meet the NNPTobligations.

The table needs an optionthat will deprive both sides ofnuclear weapons, at no cost tothe US.

“They have more numbersthan we do,” coach Emily Har-dy said of Wyoming and Marie-mont. “We scored as many aswe possibly could I think. Wecan only put so many in eachevent.”

Hardy saw juniors DevinLandstra and Elizabeth Dre-rup take individual titles.Landstra won the 500 free-style, with Drerup taking the100 free. The pair teamed upwith senior Grace Stimson andjunior Avery Pearson to winthe 200 medley relay.

“We had some really goodswims out of people,” Hardysaid.

Landstra also added a sec-ond in the 100 butterfly andDrerup was second in the 100backstroke. Stimson was run-ner-up in the 100 breaststrokeand 200 individual medley andthe trio teamed with Pearsonagain for a second in the 200freestyle relay.

“Avery (Pearson) has really

come around this year,” Hardysaid. “We were searching for afourth person for relays andshe’s really looking strong forthat spot.”

Junior Bridget Pavlick wasfourth in the 500 freestyle andwas on the fourth-place 400free relay with sophomore Ma-ry Kate Jutze, sophomore Ha-ley Magenheim and freshmanKate Lewis.

In the Division II sectionalFeb. 14, Landstra and Drerupmoved on to the district meetin the 50 freestyle and 100backstroke with Magenheimmaking it in the 50 and 100 free.Pearson, Pavlick and Lewis ad-vanced in the 200 and 500 free.Senior Stimson swam ahead inthe 100 breast and 200 IM, with

Mary Kate Jutze also making itin the medley. All three LadyBraves relays advanced.

Of her group, Hardy thinksa few can move on to Cantonand the state meet.

“We had five go last year,”she said. “Grace, Devin, Lizzyand Bridget made it and Averywent up on a relay. It kind of de-pends on how well they taper. Idon’t see any reason why allfive wouldn’t make the tripagain.”

In diving, senior Kara Ko-rengel was second in the CHLand third in the Division II sec-tional Feb. 9. Freshman Mag-gie Anning also advanced tothe district meet Feb. 16.

KENWOOD — Though they’velost more games than they did inthe last two seasons combined,Moeller High School’s basket-ball team is still in the mix intheir league and could be atough out in the upcoming tour-nament.

Coach Carl Kremer and staffhave accomplished this withone of Moeller’s youngest andinexperienced rosters. Four oflast year’s starters are playingcollege basketball and the fifthwas lost for the season in earlyDecember after foot surgery.

Center Nate Fowler will playat Butler, but has spent this sea-son watching his teammates atMoeller. The 6-foot-9 pivot aver-aged 12.6 points and 10.3 re-bounds as junior last season on ateam that featured Grant Benz-inger (Wright State), Jack An-ton (Elon), Tre’ Hawkins (MiamiUniversity) and Adam Gigax(Emory).

Instead of clearing theboards and scoring in the paintthis season, he deposits hislanky, 250-pound frame at theend of the bench and props uphis injured foot.

“Unless he had a direct doc-tor’s order, he has not missed afilm session, a morning walk-through or weightlifting,”Kremer said. “He has been atevery single thing that we’vehad in support of his team-mates.”

Though not a natural vocalleader, Fowler has led through

example and helped out doingnon-basketball things, like or-ganizing chapel services. Sit-ting through a two-hour game isnot comfortable mentally orphysically for a high school sen-ior.

“He was on pace to becomeour all-time leading rebounder,”Kremer said. “Had Nate played,we certainly would have beenone of the top teams in this area,if not the state.”

As a result, Moeller had to re-shuffle and re-adjust. Skinnyjunior Sam McCracken andsophomore Riley Voss start inthe post. At guard is juniortransfer Trey McBride and ju-nior Nate Georgeton, who wasthe JV point guard last season.

Leading the Crusaders inscoring is senior Grant Pitman,who averaged less than a bucketper game last season.

“Grant is really a specialshooter,” Kremer said. “Incatch-and-shoot situations, he’sas good as we’ve ever had.”

The key to Pitman’s growthhas been embracing other as-pects of his game. Kremer notesPitman’s rebounding, passingand defense has improvedthrough hard work.

These Crusaders grind andhave had some hard knocksalong the way. Among theirlosses over their holiday tour-nament was a three-point defeatto Oveido, a top team in Florida,and a four-point loss to TaylorCounty, one of Kentucky’s fin-

est.Since the first of the

year, Moeller has hadfour overtime games atpresstime. They lost atSpringfield by a basket

and at Elder by one on abuzzer-beater. After theElder loss, they won bytwo at Toledo St. John’sand by four against LaSalle.

Though he has threeDivision I state champi-onships, Kremer findsseasons like this oddlysatisfying.

“The joy of coachingis in the process and thestruggle,” Kremer said.“Through December andJanuary losses comeFebruary and March vic-tories. It’s been a toughyear because we’ve lostmore games than usual,but in some ways I’ve en-joyed the struggle.”

POLICE REPORTS

Pollen and moldcounts are again avail-able. This is a public ser-vice provided by theSouthwest Ohio Air Qual-ity Agency each yearduring pollen and moldseason, from Februarythrough the end of No-vember.

Pollen and moldcounts are reported after

10 a.m., Monday throughFriday.

There are severalways that residents canaccess pollen and moldcounts:

2. Follow Twitter.com/swohioair.

3. Like Facebook.com/SouthwestOhioAir.

4. Call the Pollen andMold Hotline at 513-946-7753.

“During May, we see arise in pollen from hicko-ry, pine, oak and walnuttrees,” monitoring andanalysis supervisor An-na Kelley said. “Rag-weed is the primary pol-len allergen in the fall,usually appearing in late

August through most ofSeptember.”

Molds tend to be moreactive during the wet,rainy periods of springand again in the fall as na-ture begins to decay be-fore winter.

There are steps aller-gy-sufferers can take toease their symptoms.One of the easiest tactics

is to avoid being outdoorsin the morning when pol-len counts tend to spike.It may be helpful to takea shower at the end of theday to remove pollen andmold from one’s hair andskin. Additional sugges-tions can be found in theAgency’s free, download-able brochure, LivingWith Allergies.

zens to achieve and main-tain healthy air qualityfor Southwest Ohio. Theagency is a division of theHamilton County De-partment of Environ-mental Services, whichalso encompasses theHamilton County Recy-cling and Solid WasteDistrict.
