It’s been said the earth laughs inflowers.

This time of year the planetis beginning to erupt withlaughter as plants and trees

shake off the winter cold and start tobloom.

To ensure the earth continues ityearly cycle of rebirth and gigglingup flowers, it’s our responsibility toprotect and preserve the environ-ment.

Many area governments have tak-en steps to encourage environmen-tally-friendly actions, whetherthrough offering recycling pro-grams, supporting neighborhoodclean-ups or by buying undevelopedland to remain green space, but com-munity groups are also leading ef-forts to “green” the West Side.

“We’re part of nature,” Tim Sisson,president of the Western WildlifeCorridor, said.

“The more we can protect the nat-ural environment around us, the bet-ter off we will be.”

Since its founding in 1992, the or-ganization has worked to preserveand restore the natural resources ofthe Ohio River valley through directland protection and the promotion ofresponsible land use.

The group believes green spaceenhances the quality of life for peoplein the community by helping to re-move pollutants from the air and wa-ter, and has restored forested hill-sides from the Mill Creek to the GreatMiami River. The wildlife corridorowns and manages several preservesin Delhi Township and Addyston, no-tably the Bender Mountain Preserveand the new Kirby Nature Preserve.

Sisson said the all volunteer con-servation group has removed inva-sive plant species along the river val-ley and built trails allowing for hikingand views early settlers enjoyed inthe pioneer days.

“We provide a great opportunityfor people to see the natural areas onthe West Side,” he said. “This time ofyear is especially nice because all thewildflowers are blooming. It’s liter-ally a carpet of wildflowers.”

Preserving the area’s ecosystemhelps produce oxygen, filter groundwater and reduce soil erosion, hesaid.

“Protecting our natural environ-ments is extremely important for hu-man welfare,” Sisson said.

When the group’s nature center atthe Kirby Nature Preserve in Addys-ton opens this fall, he said they plan tooffer educational programs about theimportance of environmental preser-vation and host exhibits showcasingthe area’s natural resources.

Green Township

The Land Conservancy of Hamil-ton County is another group on theWest Side working to protect greenspaces.

Through its Interstate 74 ScenicGreenway Project, the nonprofit landtrust has secured the permanent pro-tection of 84 acres of land along theinterstate thanks to land acquisitionsand donated conservation ease-ments.

According to the organization, theproject helps to protect area streamsfrom degradation, preserves forest-ed land, protects scenic views of hill-sides and open spaces, provides wild-life habitat for migrating animals andbirds and contributes to quality ofplace – an important factor in the eco-nomic potential of the region.

Between 2003 and 2008, GreenTownship officials supported theLand Conservancy’s I-74 ScenicGreenway Project by buying roughly55 acres of land along the portion ofthe interstate running through thetownship.

WestwoodIn nearby Westwood, the West-

wood Civic Association initiated anenvironmentally-friendly project in2011 with its Westwood CommunityGardens.

Chili peppers grow in one of the gardeningplots at the Westwood CommunityGardens. Established in 2011, thecommunity gardening space at Harrisonand Talbott avenues has 60 raised bedswhere residents grow a variety ofproduce.

GREEN TWP. – Trustee David Linnen-berg said before he joined the board in 2008there was only one township park to whichparents could pull their children in a wagon.

Bosken Park in the Covedale area wasthe lone township park accessible by side-walks, he said; allowing neighborhood fam-ilies and children to walk, ride bikes orguide strollers and wagons to the recrea-tion space.

Soon the township will have a total ofthree parks accessible by sidewalks – Bos-ken Park, West Fork Park and Kuliga Park.

The first phase of the township’s Bridge-town Road Sidewalk Project will begin inlate spring or early summer, connectingKuliga Park to nearby neighborhoods. Asection of sidewalk from Kuliga Park toSouth Road will be completed sometimethis summer.

“Green Township has great parks, butyou have to get in your car and drive to mostof them,” Linnenberg said. “It will be nicefor residents to be able to walk to a park.”

The township installed a sidewalk alongWest Fork Road last year. The sidewalk con-nects nearby homes to Monfort Heights El-ementary School, the Monfort HeightsBranch Library and West Fork Park.

“When we started discussing the side-walks plan Bridgetown Road and West ForkRoad jumped out as priorities because of

Greater Cincinnati Wa-ter Works and the Cincin-nati Fire Departmentwould like to remind citi-zens that this is the time ofyear for the annual springservice – a time when all12,000 fire hydrants with-in the City of Cincinnati

are checked and servicedby “flowing” pressurizedwater through the net-work of pipes.

What does this meanfor citizens?

1. Safety: It is in thebest interest of publicsafety that the hydrantsbe checked and verifiedto be in proper workingcondition. This ensuresthe hydrant is functioningproperly and available forservice in the event of anemergency.

2. Potentially “discol-ored” water: The servic-ing process may tempora-rily discolor the waterand make it look red or

brown. GCWW and CFDacknowledge that citizensmay be particularly sensi-tive to this condition andwould like to stress thatthis discoloration is notcaused by the presence oflead. For details and addi-tional information aboutlead please visit lead-.mygcww.org

the existing schools, li-braries and parks,” Lin-nenberg said.

Adam Goetzman, thetownship’s assistant ad-ministrator and develop-ment director, said theBridgetown Road Side-walk Project will eventu-ally extend from KuligaPark to the five-points in-tersection of Bridge-town, Ebenezer and Tay-lor roads.

The proposed side-walk will be installed inthree phases along thesouth side of BridgetownRoad and provide arearesidents accessibility toseveral neighborhoodbusinesses, J.F. DullesElementary School, theGreen Township BranchLibrary and Kuliga Park,he said.

Design is underwayfor the segment fromSouth Road to the library,and he said if approvalsare forthcoming in atimely manner that por-tion of sidewalk could beconstructed in late 2016.

The project’s secondphase will run from the

five-points intersectionto Markay Court and thethird phase will run fromMarkay Court to the li-brary, he said.

The sidewalk projectsare part of the township’ssidewalk and bikewaysplan the board of trust-ees adopted in February2015.

Goetzman said thegoals of the plan are toprovide safe connectionsbetween neighborhoods,schools, parks and othercommunity destinations,and enhance and expandexisting sidewalks inheavily utilized areasand build new sidewalksin areas of the townshipthat are under-served.The plan also aims toidentify an overall bicy-cle system with local andregional linkages.

He said sidewalks andbikeways enhance safetyfor pedestrians, joggers,cyclists and motorists;provide recreation op-portunities to promotehealthy lifestyles; ex-pand transportation op-tions and enhance com-munity livability.

“By adding connec-tions between neighbor-hoods, shopping areasand public and private in-

stitutions such asschools, parks, churchesand libraries, residentswill have greater oppor-tunities to interact witheach other on a more per-sonal level,” he said.

Linnenberg said thesidewalk projects alsohelp the township attractand retain young fam-ilies.

“As we compete withcommunities like Masonand West Chester, theseare the types of ameni-ties families are lookingfor and will keep themhere in the township,” hesaid.

“Residents under-stand the importance ofsidewalks. This is a greatopportunity, and it opensup subdivisions and al-lows residents to walk toour schools and parks.”

Joseph Lambing, pub-lic services director forthe township, said DukeEnergy is relocating gaslines and utility polesright now to make wayfor the sidewalk segmentfrom Kuliga Park toSouth Road.

Construction of thesidewalk will begin afterthe utility lines aremoved, and he said thework should take aboutthree weeks.

“We hope to have it inbefore July,” he said.

The township is usingtax increment financingfunds to pay for theBridgetown Road Side-walk Project and re-ceived a federal grant topartially fund the thirdphase of the project.

avenues, the urban gar-dens provide a space forresidents to grow a va-riety of produce andplants.

“We say that we’regrowing produce andcommunity in West-wood,” Mary Jenkins, agardener and presidentof the civic association,said.

“Westwood Commu-nity Gardens was startedto create access to foodand green space on thesite of a former apart-ment building known forcrime and blight.”

In the early spring,gardeners grow greens,peas, radishes and on-ions. Heat-loving vegeta-bles like tomatoes andpeppers are grown in thesummer, and she said fallcrops include root vege-tables and Brusselssprouts.

“Some of us plant gar-lic in the fall for a latespring harvest,” Jenkinssaid. “We provide a wideselection of seeds, somany gardeners experi-ment with varieties ofcommon vegetables aswell as more unusualplants.”

She said some peopleplant a full plot of a sin-gle crop, such as straw-berries or peas, while

others go for variety andyear-long growing.

“We have a wonderfulherb garden and manytypes of lettuce in ourmicrogreens raisedbeds, so we encouragegardeners to take advan-tage of those,” she said.“We planted fruit and nuttrees a few years ago andhad our first apple lastfall.”

Gardeners pay an an-nual fee of $25 for the useof a plot and access towater, a tool shed, orga-nic soil, compost andcommunal areas.They’re also required tovolunteer 12 hours of ser-vice at the gardens.

Neighborhood resi-dents who garden the

plots offer guidance tonew gardeners throughone-on-one assistanceand workshops, Jenkinssaid.

“We saw it as one wayto address the food des-ert in the area. We makeconnections amongstgardeners, host socialevents at the garden andinvite residents to joinus,” she said.

“Our gardeners comefrom across Westwood.We provided large potsfor the nursing homenext door so that resi-dents using wheelchairscan garden, too.”

Excess produce is do-nated to the food pantryat My Neighbor’s Placein Westwood.

One of the loveliest things aboutspring is enjoying a proper Englishspring time tea. That’s what I did acouple weeks ago when I presented atthe Boone County Arboretum’s annualEnglish tea.

The tables were all themed and dec-orated individually bymembers of the Arbore-tum. They brought outtheir best china, silverand linen for the event,and the tables ran thegamut of whimsical withgrapevine leaf chargersunder country plates, toelegant with heirloomchina and sparkling crys-tal.

Stephanie Schenk andKathy Bailey had everything orga-nized, from the spring blooms deco-rating the presentation area to the serv-ers, who looked quite like proper Eng-lish women.

The food, made by Donna Wilmhoff,a Union, Kentucky, reader, was as tastyas it was beautiful. Donna and her staffmade six savory items and six sweetitems. Donna told me she’s been doingthe food for the tea for five years andeach year she comes up with 12 differ-ent items. No kidding, every bite I atewas delicious and so beautifully pre-sented.

Donna started in the food businessby taking classes when her oldest sonwas a baby, years ago. “I’ve always hada love of cooking and gardening” Donnatold me. So Donna made a successfulcareer as a caterer and master garden-er. She combines these talents whencooking. You’ll know what I mean whenyou glance at the photo of the delicious,and visually stunning, spring salad in aFrico cup.

Of course, I wouldn’t tease you withjust the photo. Donna has kindly sharedthe recipes for the Frico cup, salad and

champagne dressing.

Notes from readers’ kitchensEmpty tomb bunsTri County reader Meredith B. made

these with her 10-year-old granddaugh-ter. She sent me a photo of her grand-daughter with the biggest smile, hold-ing the buns on a tray. A young momstopped me in the grocery and told meshe made them with her two little boys.“Very fun,” she said.

Mississippi roastSeveral readers responded that they

made this with chuck roast with greatsuccess. “Less expensive than tri-tip,”noted one West side reader.

7-can soup“I was intrigued and thought this

couldn’t possibly work,” said one read-er. She made it, loved it, and took left-overs to work the next day.

Can you help?Braciole made with round steak

and tied with string.Reader Kenny R. lost his recipe

from one of my columns for this. Icouldn’t retrieve the recipe from myfile so if any of you have it, pleaseshare.

Barack Obama ran on theslogan of “Hope and Change.”In the last year of his presi-dency a poll shows that 40 per-cent of Democrats and 70 per-cent of millennials would rath-er live under socialism. That isan expression of hopelessnessand it is deeply disturbing.

Sen. Obama stood on thefloor of the senate and de-clared the debt being accumu-lated by President Bush as asign of his lack of leadershipand to burden our childrenwith this debt was immoral.President Obama has accumu-lated more debt than all of theother presidents combined.

Our funded debt is morethan $19 trillion and exceedsour GDP. That along placesAmerica at risk for default; yet

it is our un-funded deficitsthat are ourgreatestthreat. SocialSecurity hasan unfundedliability of$14.8 trillionand the un-funded liabilityfor Medicareis $27 trillion.

Our total unfunded liabilitiesare more than $100 trillion.Passing this on to our childrenis more than immoral; it is afinancial holocaust.

Poverty is in the news onalmost a daily basis. Accordingto the CATO Institute, in 2014,we had 126 different welfareprograms and we spent more

than $886 billion. That is morethan $100,000 for every familyon government assistance.Where is this money going?The answer is simple, hand outprograms grow by attachingthemselves to an endless num-ber of programs. Those whocan navigate this maze of pro-grams live the good life on theAmerican tax payer.

The Affordable Care Act isanything but affordable. Ourgovernment has proven itsinability to deal with healthcare. Just look at the VA hospi-tals and the debt from Medi-care and Medicaid. If qualityhealth care is a right of allAmericans, then add it to the“Bill of Rights” and amend theConstitution.

When the ACA was first

passed 23 states formed co-opswithin the ACA; in effect, gov-ernment sponsored insurancecompanies. The co-ops in Ten-nessee, Nebraska, Iowa, NewYork, Kentucky, Louisiana,Nevada, Colorado, Utah, SouthCarolina, Arizona and Michi-gan have already failed.Twelve of the 23, leaving theAmerican tax payer on thehook for loans totaling $1.2billion. Ten of the remaining 11are headed towards failure.Only Maine has its head abovewater. We were warned, NancyPelosi did say: “We have to passit before we find out what is init.”

Most Americans have notfelt the full impact of the ACAbecause thousands of waivershave been granted to various

companies, unions and organi-zations. No waiver for the Lit-tle Sisters of the Poor. Theirfight is at the Supreme Court.Interesting, Merrick Garland,as part of a three-judge panel,voted against the Little Sistersof the Poor in a lower courtdecision, forcing the need forthe Supreme Court ruling.Garland is President Obama’sSupreme Court nomination.

“Religious freedom” hasbeen relegated to mean free-dom within the four walls ofthe church. If Garland is con-firmed, the four walls are gone.

History will say that Amer-ica died while Americans weresleeping. A republic’s greatestenemy is apathy.

Jacque was born on June 16,1964, into an ordinary familywith a mom and a dad and afinal total of six children. Sheand I have been friends for 12years or more. For the lastthree years, she has been fight-ing the battle of her life.

Jacque is a skilled organizerhaving assisted in planning andconducting our AmericanCouncil of the Blind of Ohiostate conferences for manyyears. She is a people person inthat she has served as a coor-dinator of volunteers for anagency for several years. She isan advocate for people who usecars driven by chauffeurs rath-er than using cars requiring adriver. Unfortunately, we whouse cars equipped with chauf-feurs could have much im-proved transportation optionsif people who develop publicpolicy would use a lot less mon-ey and much more thinkingpower. But that issue is some-one else’s for the present.

Jacque has been in a rehabcenter working hard to regainher mobility, that is, full move-ment in her arms and handsand in her legs and feet. Manyof us who are her friends arepraying for her, visiting herregularly, and working with heron her exercises; but what iskeeping us going is her persis-tence, determination and “we

can do it” spir-it.

In the mean-time, Jacque’slife is filledwith caringand dedicatedhealth careworkers in-cluding nurse’saids and thera-pists; with thedevotion of her

loving husband, Dave, whomyou met in my last guest col-umn; with the strength andpower and blessing of a lovingGod; and with our care andattention who cherish her evenmore now that she needs moreof our time and attention.

Jacque has a rare braindisorder called moyamoya, aname given to it by a Japanesedoctor who first identified thedisorder in the 1960s. But, in avery genuine sense, how cananyone say her life has beendiminished? As I wrote, her lifeis filled with love, care andattention on her way to phys-ical well being. When Jacquereturns to her former place inmaking the world a betterplace by the use of her orga-nizing skills, her people skillsand her advocacy work; shewill realize that she neverstopped doing good in theworld because her battle withmoyamoya has brought out thebest in the many people whoprovide her daily, or at leastfrequently, with care and assis-tance.

The health care profession-als provide skilled medicalattention. Her spouse visits herafter work and on weekendsgiving her his love, devotion,and encouragement. We herfriends visit her and help her inpracticing her exercises. Godbrings joy to her heart andstrength to her spirit as shegive so much to all of us privi-leged to remain a part of herlife.

I am hoping to write moreguest columns about Jacque’shusband, Dave, who is morethan just Employee of Year in2016 at CABVI, and more aboutJacque, who is moving evercloser to knocking moyamoyaout of action in her life.

Wrist injuries are commonamong young athletes. A fallonto an outstretched hand is acommon mechanism of injury.

The most commonly frac-tured bone around the wristwith such a mechanism is theradius bone, accounting forabout one third to one half ofall wrist fractures in children.

Though less common over-all, another important fracturefrom a fall onto an out-stretched hand is the scaphoidfracture. The scaphoid bone, asmall bone that sits on thethumb side of the wrist, is themost commonly fracturedcarpal bone. A scaphoid frac-ture is difficult to diagnose asit is often not seen on initialX-rays. It can be devastating ifnot treated properly and canultimately impact return toplay.

Some of the symptomsinclude pain and swelling atthe base of the thumb andincreased pain with movementand gripping objects. If youthink your child has a wristinjury, it’s always best to havean examination by a physicianto determine the need fordiagnostic imaging and treat-ment. Some of the diagnostictests may include:

» X-ray: themost commondiagnostic testfor a scaphoidfracture. Thistest utilizeselectromag-netic waves ofhigh energy todistinguishbone from softtissues (mus-

cles, tendons, ligaments, skin,fat tissue). This test is com-monly used as an initial test todetermine if your child hassustained a scaphoid fracture.

» Magnetic resonance im-aging (MRI): a radiation-freetest that uses large magnets toproduce detailed images ofboth soft tissues and bone.MRI is best for determiningpathology of tendons and liga-ments that cannot be seen withX-rays alone. An MRI maypick up a scaphoid fracturethat a plain film X-ray misses.

» Computerized tomog-raphy (CT or CAT scan): usesX-rays to produce “virtual”slices of body parts. CTs areparticularly important forlooking at bones. They pro-duce images that are moredetailed than typical X-rays.

Once the diagnosis of the

scaphoid fracture is made,your doctor will determine thebest possible treatment plan.The non-surgical approachinvolves a cast that includesthe thumb. Healing time isusually four to six weeks inthese instances.

If the fracture involves twoseparate pieces of the scaph-oid bone, surgery may beneeded. Compression screws,wires and implants are someof the surgical techniquesused to hold the bone together.Recovery time can vary.

At Cincinnati Children’s, wehave a team of physical thera-pists with pediatric training toassist your child with his orher wrist rehabilitation. Yourchild’s therapist will workindividually with your child todesign a regimen aimed atrestoring function.

For more information, con-tact the Pediatric Sports Medi-cine experts and make a sameday appointment by calling513-803-HURT.

March 24 questionAre the renewal of diplomat-

ic relations between the UnitedStates and Cuba, and the presi-dent’s visit to Cuba, good forthe U.S.? Why or why not?

“I think the arrogant andaccurate ‘put down’ of ourapologist, by the brutal dicta-tor of that pipsqueak, non-productive island, answersthat question best.”

D.B.

“Normalizing relationswith Cuba is all good. Cubaand America working cooper-atively together will be a goodthing for their people with theeventual hope that the Com-munist principles at the fore-front of the rift over 50 yearsago will subside and eventu-ally disappear completely,proving yet again that Com-munism and its close cousinSocialism do not work. Onecan only hope that Obama,The Bern and all of his blindfollowers will realize muchsooner than later that capital-ism, even with all of its faults,

is still the best economic pathfor a country.”

M.J.F.

“The president’s visit toCuba is great on the interna-tional front. It demonstratesthat our country is currentlyinterested in building diplo-macy bridges. We’re fortu-nate that the president is aswell respected and well re-ceived on the internationalstage. Cuba could become anexample of the United Statesusing diplomacy to sow theseeds of democratic rule. Thepresident’s approach is pre-ferred over previous admini-strations efforts to spreaddemocracy via war. Whowould have thought?”

C.S.

“The US has had diplomat-ic and trade relations withCommunist China and Russiafor years. Cuba was doomedonce Russia stopped their‘foreign aid’ over 25 yearsago. I think the more thatCubans see of the US life stylethe more they will realize the

failure of their current sys-tems. One of the reasons theiron curtain came down wasRussians realizing what wason the other side in demo-cratic countries. Cuba couldhave been New Orleans, LasVegas and Miami Beachrolled into one vacation site. Igive Obama credit for thisnew move, but let’s not forgetthe human rights violations ofCastro over the last 55 years.Hopefully Castro’s son andsome new young Cubans canturn this around. Maybe someof those jobs that were sent toChina could go to Cuba. Nowabout that new Wal-Mart inHavana. Go Figure!”

Senior-laden, flooded with ex-perience, Elder’s track and fieldbrigade knows all too wellwhat’s required each spring andthe months of preparation pre-ceding it.

This season will be about El-der’s experience merging withits newcomers, along with aquestion of replacing losses tograduation, felt mostly in thethrowers and distance crew.

“We’re gonna be pretty sen-ior-laden with the guys comingout for the first time and theguys who are returning,” saidninth-year coach Brian Flaher-ty.

Senior pole vaulter RobbyOswald returns after a monsterjunior season. Oswald is comingoff a district championship, aGreater Catholic League Southtitle and a regional runner-upperformance to advance to thestate meet where took 13thplace.

The Panthers also reload withjunior high jumper Kelton Ashe,senior sprinter/long jumper Jo-nah Rinear, senior distance run-ner Eric Ostertag and seniorsKyle Kehling, Andy James,Brandon Meyer and Zach Viox,who was part of a regional relaylast season.

Senior Nick Hall, an IndianaState football signee, is a 6-foot-4 athlete in his first seasontrying track and field. Hall lookslike he’s gonna help in the highjump, long jump and possiblysome relays. Junior AdamSchwallie, who will help in thesprints and several other areas,also came out this season after asuccessful football season atwide receiver. Senior MitchWard has also impressed Flaher-ty in his first season.

“I think the new guys arereally talented; they’re gonnasurprise some people,” Flahertysaid. “Obviously we have reallygood leaders in Andy James,Zach Viox, Brandon Meyer andRobby Oswald; we don’t have alot of depth or a lot of speed, but Ithink we’ll be decent in justabout every event which willhelp us score points.”

Oak HillsOak Hills had a young track

and field team last season andthe Highlanders are youngagain with no returning regionalqualifiers, but coach Ben Hage-man likes what he’s seen fromhis group so far.

“We were very, very younglast year,” Hageman said. “Wetook some lumps as a result ofthat.”

Hageman’s hoping thoselumps prove valuable this year.

The Highlanders returnsophomore thrower ChanceSchneider, sophomore DerrikDeidesheimer and sophomoreNathan Shelby.

Hageman said Deidesheimerhas started the season with apair of personal records in 110hurdles and high jump. Shelby’sthe Highlanders’ top long jum-per.

Juniors Robby Record, KyleMontag, Tony Trame, and seniorSawyer Klingelhoffer are allback in the sprint events.

The distance crew is “very

similar to the rest of our teamwith lots of potential, anxious tosee who separates from thepack,” said Hageman.

The distance specialists aresophomore Drew Toon, juniorBrad Weidner, senior DrewBeck and junior Sam Gunther.

“We are young, but the kidsthat ran as freshmen and sopho-mores last year gained a lot ofexperience; we have as good ofdepth as we’ve had in a longtime,” Hageman said. “It’s greatto watch those underclassmenwho have taken their lumps kindof grow up in front of our eyes.To see their hard work, to seethat youth develop into qualityperformances is really cool.”

Oak Hills started its seasonwith a win at the Harrison All-Comers Invitational March 26.On April 6, the Highlanders areat Ross for the first night of theCoaches Classic with the finalsApril 8 at Winton Woods.

TaylorTaylor sixth-year head coach

James Tenhundfeld said the Yel-low Jackets are hard at work re-placing what was lost last springto graduation.

The Yellow Jackets are com-ing off a fourth-place showing inthe Cincinnati Hills League, andthey’re eager to climb that lad-der this season.

“We have a few kids withgreat potential this year that canreally lead our team,” Tenhund-

feld said. “We lost quite a fewvarsity runners last year thatwill need to be replaced. Ournumbers are pretty good sohopefully some of our new addi-tions this year can step in and fillthose holes for us.”

Taylor returns senior HunterMurphy, a regional qualifier lastseason in discus, with juniorBrad Greene, a proven distancerunner who took second overallat the CHL cross country meet afew months ago, and junior longjumper Alonzo Sanchez, whomTenhundfeld believes has thepotential to be a Division I longjumper in college. Sanchez islooking to improve on his dis-tance of 20’8” from last season.

Western HillsThird-year coach Lark Du-

dley said this track and field sea-son at Western Hills will be a re-building one.

That said, the Mustangs stillhave some formidable firepow-er that could end up turningheads as the season gets older.

“This is a rebuilding year,”Dudley said. “We have a lot ofyoung kids. There are only threeseniors. Everyone else is young-er.”

Senior long jumper JuwaunTye, a standout wide receiver onthe football team, is a returningstarter and skilled jumper. Sen-ior sprinter Anton Kirby, anoth-er football standout, is a three-year sprinter who anchors 100

meters and the 4x100 relay. Sen-ior Yannis Dailey is an experi-enced thrower in shot put anddiscus. Dudley said all three willbe expected to help lead a veryyoung roster.

Junior hurdler Terrell How-ell is another returning starterwhom Dudley thinks will helprack up points.

Sophomore Keyon Sanders isa talented middle distance run-ner, an area Dudley is very highon heading into the season.

“I think the middle distancewill be our strongest part of theteam,” said Dudley. “We’re defi-nitely gonna have a slow starthaving a young team. I’m stress-ing to the team by midseasonwe’ll be very competitive.”

La SalleLa Salle’s no stranger to mo-

mentum heading into a trackand field season, and this year’sno different. The Lancers arecoming off a Greater CatholicLeague South championship anda district championship.

With the talent returning thisseason, La Salle could very wellbe the conference favoriteagain.

Coach Frank Russo, who’s en-tering his 32nd season, said theLancers will be led by seniorthrower Luke Doerger, a Toledofootball signee, who’s the de-fending GCL champion in discusand a two-time regional qualifi-er in shot and disc.

Seniors Frank Pierce andBrad Anneken are both return-ing distance specialists, whowith junior Jaylen Hasan givethe Lancers an experienced dis-tance relay in the 4x800, inwhich they’re defending confer-ence champions and regionalqualifiers. Hasan’s also a burnerin 800 meters, an event he tookthird in the GCL last season.

Junior pole vaulter Alex Vi-dourek, a district finalist lastseason, returns along with threeseniors who reached the region-al in the 4x200 relay in KeitonioMathes, Isaiah Andrews andRoss Wullenweber. Mathes andAndrews are also back on the4x100 relay, which was a GCLchampion and also a regionalqualifier.

Sophomores Quinn Ealy andTim Blair, a transfer from With-row, have both started the sea-son with impressive times, saidRusso.

La Salle also added a pair offootball standouts in juniors Ja-rell White and Tyler Richardson,both of whom are high-levelsprinters and Richardson willhelp in high jump and long jump.Sophomore Cameron Willisstarted the season with one ofthe best high jumps in the city(6’2”) at La Salle’s Legends MeetMarch 26.

Nick Wuestefeld is back inthe two-mile after a district fi-nalist performance last season.With all that talent, paired withthe fact that La Salle’s coachingstaff includes longtime Univer-sity of Cincinnati head coachBill Schneir, who’s back for hissecond season with the Lancers.

The goals never change at LaSalle.

It’s not unusual for Se-ton track and field to feelconfident going into a sea-son. But the level of confi-dence flowing through theSaints this spring is high-er than normal, even forthe girls in green.

Seton is the defendingGirls Greater CatholicLeague champion, win-ning its first title since1982 last year.

And while Seton lost alot of talent to graduation,the Saints have some seri-ous firepower returning.

Senior pole vaulter An-na Schoster is quicklyrunning out of space onher high school résumé.Schoster, who placedsixth at the Division Istate meet last season andalso holds school, leagueand district pole vault rec-ords, is back and ready forone final ride.

The Saints also returnsenior starters: sprinter/long jumper KallieBrown, sprinter KellyLuebbering and distancespecialists SammieMoore and Maria Viscon-ti. Junior high jumperEmma Bruggeman andjunior middle distancerunner Meghan Davis areboth back in the startingrotation.

After battling injurieslast year, junior distancedynamo Audrey Laivel-ing, a regional qualifier asa freshman, is healthy.

Sophomores back inthe stable include: sprint-er/long jumper ReneeHofmeyer, thrower Anal-ise Kandra, distance spe-cialist Erica Schloemer,who finished 16th at the

state meet last season andholds the school record in3,200 meters, middle dis-tance runner SarahTelscher, who was a con-ference and districtchampion in 400 meters asa freshman.

“We have a lot of talentin our sophomore class,including two regionalqualifiers and a statequalifier,” Laiveling said.“In addition to that, a lot ofour top returning per-formers in each event aresophomores. Despite ouryouth we have excellentsenior leadership that willguide the talented young-sters through the season,both in how to competeand how to train.”

Oak HillsOak Hills’ track and

field team looks toughheading into the seasonwith a solid core of return-ing state and regionalqualifiers.

Not only do the High-landers return talent, butthey’ve added depth,which has created compe-tition, something coachBen Hageman feels willreally help his team.

Senior Sydney Kilgore,an Indiana soccer signee,returns to run after a rec-ord-breaking season lastyear, and she does so afterrecently being medicallycleared following a seri-ous knee injury last sum-mer. Kilgore broke the800 meter district recordlast season and stormedall the way to state whereshe ran ninth and justmissed the podium.

Hageman said of Kil-gore, “She ran 2:12 at dis-tricts (last season), whichwas one of the most im-

pressive races I’ve everwitnessed in person …she’s one of those rare ath-letes where she’s su-premely talented butworks just as hard; she’sthe ultimate team kid.”

Kilgore also ran on the4x400 and 4x800 relaysthat reached regionals.Senior Alexis Conley andsophomore Kaitlynn Pris-thas are both returningregional qualifiers withMakenzie Deidesheimerand Rima Garadah.

Junior Megan Kappenwas a regional runner lastseason in both 100 and 300hurdles and Hagemansaid she’s “really steppedup and been the leader ofour team (with Kilgore’sabsence following herknee injury), she has notmissed a single workoutthis entire winter. I’mreally excited for her be-cause she’s put herself ina position to be not onlyone of the top hurdlers inthe city but she’s put her-self in a position to makestate.”

Sophomore TianaBrown, junior Tory Essenand senior Kamilah Wil-liams all return with re-gional experience.

Hageman said the dis-tance crew is loaded withtalent and competition.

“Our girls team is asdeep as any team we’vehad in recent memory,”said Hageman. “We havecompetition for everyrace. The kids can’t reallyget comfortable. They’rereally pushing each othercause they know there’ssomeone behind themwho’s really talented.”

The girls won the Har-rison All-Comers Invita-tional on March 26 to open

the season.

TaylorThree straight second-

place finishes in the Cin-cinnati Hills League havemade Taylor’s girls trackand field team a deter-mined bunch.

Sixth-year head coachJames Tenhundfeld said,“They are ready to breakthrough,” and end an 11-year league title drought.

The Yellow Jacketshave the talent returningto do it, too.

Senior Randi Schuttehas one season left on a re-markable career compet-ing in track and field.Schutte’s qualified to thestate meet each of the lasttwo seasons in high jump,and she was a regionalqualifier in 100-meter hur-dles and 300 hurdles lastseason.

Junior Kylee Draughnalso returns after havingbeen a regional qualifierthe last two seasons inshot put and discus. Ju-nior Alli Draughn was aregional qualifier last sea-son in shot put as well.

Sophomore Jessie La-kamp has shown she haswhat it takes, and Ten-hundfeld believes she hasthe potential to be a re-gional runner this seasonin both hurdle races andsprint relays.

Sophomore Lizzie Vosshas also shown potentialas a distance runner andhas her sights set on mak-ing it to regionals.

“This is probably themost talented team I’veever coached,” Tenhund-feld said. “We are return-ing all but one athlete on ateam that finished secondin the league and third atdistricts. To help them outwe have nearly doubledour girls’ roster this sea-son with new athletes.

“Besides helping us outnumbers-wise, there issome very good talentnew to our team. To goalong with the talent thesegirls have shown a workethic that will bring thema lot of success this year.”

MercyIn her first season as

Mercy’s head track andfield coach, Mary Hatch,who was previously theBobcats’ distance coach,has assembled a formida-ble team and coachingstaff in hopes of a memo-

rable season. The Bobcats have

depth and experiencecoupled with a coachingstaff that includesHatch’s husband, Brian,sprints coach Larry Jonesand throws coach BridgetBaker, who’s had a throw-er reach regionals in ev-ery season she’s coachedat Mercy.

Co-captains are seniorMadi Link, a thrower andthe Bobcats’ only return-ing regional qualifier, ju-nior Jennifer Ramsey, atop sprinter who will alsocompete in long jump,senior Margo Waters, amiddle distance special-ist, and senior AleahMersch, who will help bol-ster the middle distancedepartment.

Also returning are ju-nior distance specialistsOlivia Hatch, Alex Ste-vens and Hannah Doll.Senior high jumpers JessCoors and Katie Cavan-augh are both back withexperience.

The Bobcats also havean exciting core of new-comers in sophomore hur-dler Rachel Ramsey,sophomore middle dis-tance runner AllisonMoellinger, sophomoresprinter Brittany Marz-heuser, freshman longjumper Paige Sweitzer,freshman distance run-ner Morgan Maloney andfreshman sprinter KassieJordan, all of whom haveshown promise, saidHatch.

“We’re very excitedabout our core group ofathletes who have shownour new athletes the ropesthrough the course of win-ter conditioning and I’malso really excited aboutsome of our new athleteswho already have a hun-ger to compete and work

hard,” said Hatch. Even with some girls

missing, Hatch waspleased with her team’sperformance at the open-ing meet of the season, LaSalle’s Legends meetMarch 26.

Western HillsMuch like its male

counterpart, WesternHills girls track and fieldfeature a young team, saidthird-year coach Lark Du-dley.

“We’re young,” Dudleysaid. “I don’t think I have asenior running this year. Ihad a few seniors whograduated last year, sothis is a rebuilding proc-ess for the whole pro-gram. I have more fresh-man girls than anything.”

Returning starters forthe Mustangs include ju-nior sprinter ZawadiEarly, sophomore sprint-er Shyla Springs, sopho-more sprinter/long jum-per Kaylen Watkins andsophomore sprinter/mid-dle distance runner MyaBond, whom Dudley de-scribed as a very goodathlete.

The sprinting depart-ment in particular has Du-dley excited for the sea-son.

“The sprinters (arewhat he likes most abouthis team),” said Dudley.“I’ve got some unknowngirls, haven’t been provenyet, but they’ve been do-ing good during condition-ing and the first fewweeks. I’m impressedwith what I’m seeing, theyjust haven’t been in com-petition yet.”

Dudley will find outsoon enough what he has,but, again, like the boys,West High’s girls can ex-pect to improve as the sea-son runs on.

gionals and state champi-onships,” said Russo.

St. XavierThere’s a youth move-

ment in progress this sea-son for St. Xavier’s trackand field team.

After graduating Mi-chael Vitucci, a statechampion runner in trackand cross country, BradEagan, who took third atstate last season in themile, and Connor Stelljes,a state qualifying thrower,the Bombers will rely on alot of new faces thisspring.

Coach Oliver Mason,now in his 11th season, saidhis team has no returningregional qualifiers.

“We come back with areally young team,” hesaid. “Our team is basical-ly sophomores and juniorsand unproven at that.”

Mason said the Bomb-ers “will creep up on peo-ple at the end of the year,”and they should have a lotof production from theirdistance runners.

“We’ll have a prettygood miler in junior JackCordonnier, and good two-milers in senior AustinAngeline and junior ChrisReischel,” said Mason. “Sothose three should be gooddistance as always.”

In the throwing depart-

ment, Mason said juniorJonah Yates has been im-pressive and newcomer,sophomore Bobby Jeffer-son has shown promise.

“They’re (mostly)sophomores and juniors sothey have no idea whatthis thing’s about; theyneed to come to meets likethe coaches classic andget their doors blown off,”Mason said. “I’ve alwaystold them that I’m not wed-ded to seniorship. Thisisn’t like team sports. Mystop watch, my measuringtape doesn’t lie so it’s al-ways an open field. Someguys are embracing that.Some of them are tenta-tive but the meets willkind of let them knowwhat’s going.”

In a city with the na-tion’s second-highestchildhood poverty rate, acommunity effort led bythe University of Cincin-nati (UC) encourages 13-19-year olds to verballyexpress their fears, wor-ries, struggles and hopes.The program spearhead-ed by UC’s Taft ResearchCenter culminates in theSaturday, April 9, Louderthan a Bomb (LTAB) poet-ry finals at the School forthe Creative and Perform-ing Arts in Over the Rhine.

Teams from DaterHigh School in WesternHills and James N. Gam-ble Montessori HighSchool in Westwood havebeen part of the LTAB pro-gram this school year. Sa-vanna Cline from Gambleis an individual finalist.

The April 9 event is avariation of the world’slargest youth poetry slam,LTAB (named after a Pub-lic Enemy song aboutspeaking truth), whichoriginated in Chicago 15years ago as a venue foryouth to share their sto-ries. Students performoriginal poetry, story tell-

ing and hip-hop spokenword.

Taft director AdrianParr brought the programto Cincinnati last year “toengage the city, particu-larly young people, andspark interest in readingand writing with expres-sion in poetic form. Horri-fied by our poverty rate,which is directly relatedto educational outcomesand retention, we wantedto deal with this in a prag-matic way and put the hu-manities to work as a solu-tion.”

UC’s McMicken Col-lege of Arts and SciencesDean Ken Petren agreed,and the college has signedon as an important projectsponsor.

“This competition illus-trates how the liberal artscan serve the communityby giving young people avoice, teaching them howto communicate and sharetheir work. It also offersus all an important chanceto hear from the youth inour community abouttheir lives and the issuesthat matter most to them.”

Parr’s goals were to

empower youth who feelunheard, develop theirconfidence, surroundthem with supportivecommunity and bring thecity together. Additional-ly, the Queen City’s ver-sion of LTAB providesbudding poets “with an ex-posure to literature with-out the seriousness of sit-ting in class. They get it ontheir own terms.” Shebused them to campus fora “Sociology of Hip-Hop”class that “helps themimagine themselves in auniversity context. Wewant to create a differentpipeline moving kids tohigher education. The hu-manities and arts are veryflexible and open for kidsregardless of their inter-ests. Everyone has a cre-ative side that we want totap in a shared platform.”

It’s taken a village oncampus and within thecommunity to createLTAB Cincinnati. MajorUniversity partners, inaddition to McMicken Col-lege of Arts and Sciences,assisting the Taft Re-search Center’s lead in-clude: UC Office of theChief Diversity Officer;MetroLab (UC College ofDesign, Art, Architecture,and Planning); UC Re-search Institute, and UCDepartments of AfricanaStudies and Political Sci-ence. MetroLab faculty

and students earned agrant to construct thisyear’s LTAB set after win-ning local and national ar-chitecture awards forlast-year’s stage. Commu-nity sponsors are Kroger,the Goldsmith Family, El-ementz, Cincinnati PublicSchools, DePaul CristoRey High School, SevenHills School, WordPlayCincy and Reds UrbanYouth Academy.

LTAB coaches Jori AnCotton and Desirae Hos-ley, both spoken-word art-ists, are friends and col-laborators who push andmentor each other.

“We share similar mis-sions of creating writingcircles and open-mic fo-rums in the city,” said Cot-ton, who coaches multipleteams and is funded by El-ementz. “You can feel de-feated and, as friends, weget ourselves going bysharing our poetry, givingfeedback, pointers andcritiques. That translatesto the students we coach.We can push them be-cause we know where westarted. We can see thedifferent ways poetry canbe fused in their lives.”

Hosley and Cotton aresecond-year LTAB coach-es and Hosley of Word-Play Cincy sees a differ-ence in students this year.“The energy is explosive.They’ve brought social is-sues like Black Lives Mat-ter and the transgenderjourney to light. They’vemade it prevalent and

they love who they are.They will tell their secretor story to the world, areunapologetic and proud.”

“Students are sharingthe injustices of the world,what’s going on in theirneighborhoods and areproud of the skin they’rein,” Cotton said. “They’retalking about Jewish cul-ture, mental illness, de-pression, anxiety and sui-cide prevention. Theirwords in front of the audi-ence can bring the wholehouse down.”

“The first thing Ipreach is self love,” Hos-ley said. “I always saywriting is therapy: write apoem, save a life. If youcan bring voice to what-ever damages you, youcan grow.”

“As children, we wereseen and not heard,” Cot-ton said. “After listeningat the semi finals to youthacross Cincinnati, I under-stand they need to beheard. This is their world

now. Our voice is truly allwe have and when we canhear someone’s story, bar-riers are broken down.”

Last year, Parr sweatedfilling the 300 seats at theCincinnati National Un-derground Railroad Free-dom Center for the finals,then begged the theatermanager to allow 30 moreto stand.

“Never in my wildestdreams would I have ex-pected this kind of turn-out,” Parr said. This yearalready has been electri-fying and we’ve moved toCorbett Theatre at Schoolfor the Creative and Per-forming Arts with 750seats.”

In 2015, LTAB Cincin-nati involved 12 schools,the most of any inauguralLTAB competition. Thisyear, 17 schools – from theinner city to suburbs – par-ticipated. Teams from De-Paul Cristo Rey HighSchool and Hughes STEMHigh School in Clifton,Walnut Hills High Schooland Elementz, an urbanarts center in Over theRhine, will compete in thefinals along with 15 soloperformers.

Doors open at 5 p.m.Saturday, April 9; finalsbegin at 6 p.m. FormerCincinnati Bengal and phi-lanthropist Dhani Jonesand poet-activist MalcolmLondon, a Chicago LTABwinner, will host. Freetickets and more informa-tion are available at lou-derthanabombcincy.com.

Come see what everybody is talking about! Philipps is not just a pool, it’s a lifestyle.

When thinking oftaking a cruise it’s al-ways important to ex-pect the unexpected andprotect yourself if some-thing goes wrong. That’swhat a Cincinnati areafamily learned aftertheir flight to the cruiseship was delayed.

Lori writes, “Thepilot informed us therewould be a slight delayarriving in Atlanta dueto weather conditions.However, after we hadarrived in the Atlantaarea, the pilot then in-formed us we wouldneed to be rerouted toKnoxville airport forfuel as we did not haveenough to accommodatethe delay in Atlanta.”

She says by the timethey arrived in Atlantait was too late to get on

anotherflight toget to theship intime. Shewrites,“We wereleft withno otheroptionsbut toreturn to

Indianapolis due to thedelays caused not onlyby weather, but also dueto inadequate fueling inIndianapolis.”

Lori wanted the air-line to refund their air-line tickets and pay forthe lost cruise. While theairline refunded the costof the plane tickets as agoodwill gesture, a rep-resentative said it couldnot pay for the canceledcruise because it

“doesn’t compensatepassengers for prepaidexpenses.”

To avoid such prob-lems I always recom-mend getting to thecruise ship at least oneday ahead of time. Thatway, if there’s a delaylike this, you are onlylate getting to your hoteland can still get to thecruise ship the next day.This early arrival isparticularly important ifyou have to travel over-seas to get to yourcruise ship.

In addition, it’s al-ways been my policy to

buy trip insurance whengoing on a cruise. Notonly will that compen-sate you if you miss theship, but it will also payyour medical billsshould you get sickwhile outside the coun-try and have to be hospi-talized. Some policieswill also play for you tobe airlifted or medicallyevacuated if you need tobe transferred to a ma-jor medical center.
