Loveland Schools works toimprove science curriculum

Loveland City Schools isimproving its science curricu-lum throughout the districtwith new textbooks and onlineinstructional materials.

A committee of teachers,lead by assistant Superinten-dent of Teaching and LearningAmy Crouse, developed a newscience curriculum and out-lined what materials would beneeded.

“We got together for ourfirst time in September andhad meetings across the year.They developed their own timeline to bring us here tonightbecause they felt strongly thatthey want to be able to havethe materials ordered thismonth so they can be in theirhands for professional devel-opment in the spring,” Crousesaid at the March 15 schoolboard meeting.

The board approved thechange and the materials pur-chase. The estimated cost is aone-time fee for science of$408,307 and the district hasbudgeted $500,000 annually forthe newly established instruc-tional cycle. The district plansto update the social studiescurriculum next year.

In kindergarten throughsecond grade, students will beusing the National Geographicscience kits.

“We were looking for a pro-gram that had great sciencebut also had some reading,writing and math. That is what

we found with National Geo-graphic. It has a great sciencenotebook and the kids have anopportunity to write somebeginner lab reports,” Love-land Primary School teacherBrooke Hobson said.

Teacher Traci Stubenrauchsaid the primary school neededan integrated approach, whichthe program provides by of-fering science readers at dif-ferent reading levels that helpsstudents learn to read while

also teaching them about sci-ence.

The readers will continuedto be used in the third- andfourth-grades, in addition toDiscovery Education’s ScienceTextbook.

“We have selected materialthat we think with enrich thelives of the K-12 in the Love-land City Schools. The goalthroughout this instructionalcycle is to ensure that we areproviding the most rigorousand relevant science educationto all of our students in thedistrict,” fourth-grade scienceteacher Brandie Carter said

Fifth-grade science teacherDoug Kemper said therewasn’t a fit for the fifth-gradein any of the other programsand they will be using Fusion.

“Fusion is much more chal-lenging for fifth-graders andemphasizes nonfiction reading.It also has a strong online com-ponent and it will build on whatthe kids have done in the lowergrades,” he said.

Grades six through eightwill be using Interactive Sci-ence, which is an online pro-gram that also comes with atextbook.

“We wanted the best prac-tices in order to prepare ourkids on the K-12 continuum. Asan eighth-grade teacher on thedoorstep of high school, it wasimportant for all of us to havea program that we could imple-ment and know that when theyleft the middle school that theywould be well prepared forhigh school,” science teacherJenn Ramage said.

Eighth-grade science teach-er Nick Harding said the pro-grams will create a unity with-in each grade to ensure allstudents are getting the same

The Clermont CountyBoard of DevelopmentalDisabilities plans to helpmore people.

That’s thanks to a con-tinuing, 1.4-mill replace-ment tax levy ClermontCounty voters approved35,412 to 16,814 March 15,

board SuperintendentDan Ottke said.

“Passage of this levywill help us to maintainthe much-needed ser-vices for individuals withdevelopmental disabili-ties and intellectual dis-abilities in ClermontCounty,” Ottke said.

“Additionally, it willhelp us to responsibly ad-dress some growingwaiting-list numbers forvarious services we pro-vide or partner to pro-vide.”

The Clermont CountyBoard of DevelopmentalDisabilities serves ba-bies, children, and adults.

Its services include in-fant hearing; early inter-vention; abuse and ne-

glect tracking; occupa-tional, physical andspeech therapy; voca-tional training; job-seek-ing skills; work opportu-nities for adults and fam-ily support programs.

The just-approved re-placement tax levy willcost homeowners an ad-ditional $35 per $100,000valuation of their homesannually.

“We again want tothank the community andpromise to be good stew-ards of these resources,”Ottke said.

Also March 15, Cler-mont County residentsapproved a 1.3-mill re-newal tax levy for Cler-mont Senior Services bya vote of 40,345 to 12,524.

The five-year levy willbe effective Jan. 1, imme-diately after the currentlevy expires Dec. 31, andwill not raise taxes.

The tax costs home-owners about $38 per$100,000 valuation oftheir homes annually.

Clermont Senior Ser-vices will use the moneyfor senior centers, mealson wheels, transporta-tion, adult day care, adultprotection, personalcare, respite care, homerepair and caregiver sup-port.

“We recognized thatstudents at the lowerlevels are still learning toread and other studentsneed the balance be-tween technology andinstruction. The sim-ulations were important.Having kids being able topractice and learn from

online simulations is agreat way for kids tolearn science,” Craigsaid.

Superintendent ChadHilliker said the districtwas able to buy the newmaterial thanks to thefunds generated from thelevy that was approvedin 2014.

The district is alsoadding AP environmentalscience, AP computerscience principles, sus-tainability and funda-mentals of microbiologyclasses at Loveland HighSchool.

“It is very excited thatwe can do this connectedeffort through the sci-ence curriculum in Love-land. I don’t think wehave been failing at sci-

ence but this is going tobeef it up,” School BoardMember Kathy Lorenzsaid.

“We have severalcompanies thatare interested inthe developedland.”ED HUMPHREYClermont County commissioner

Republican primarywinner Ed Humphreysays he is thrilled to hangon to his Clermont Countycommissioner seat.

But it doesn’t seemHumphrey will havemuch time to savor thevictory, given the numberof upcoming projects heticks off when askedwhat’s next for the county.

“We will continue tohave balanced budgets,”said Humphrey, who best-ed challenger MichaelCollins 23,340 to 9,765 inthe March 15 polling.

“We’re working on theNorth Afton CommercePark, where we pur-chased 242 acres (in Wil-liamsburg Township, andthat) will mean - when it’sdeveloped - jobs and addi-tional payroll.

“We have several com-

panies that are interestedin the developed land,”Humphrey said.

“We’re putting in allutilities – electric, tele-phone, Internet, gas.”

Humphrey, who hasserved as a ClermontCounty commissionersince 2008, said the coun-ty also is working on itscomputer-aided dispatchsystem for the 911 center.

“We’re changing outthe software that we’reusing and the fire chiefsand police chiefs have al-ready been in severalmeetings working onmoving this along,” Hum-

phreysaid.

“I thinkit willprobablybe fin-ished insix monthsor so.”

Hum-phrey’s win over Collinsmeans Humphrey will ad-vance to the Novemberelections.

The fact that no Demo-cratic has filed for thefour-year Clermont Coun-ty commission term thatbegins in January 2017means the seat is virtually

Humphrey’s.“If I vote for myself,”

Humphrey said.Both Humphrey and

Anyone visiting area petstores on weekends has seenthem.

They are the homeless petswith big expressive eyes, ormaybe an aloof demeanor, look-ing for their forever home.

As potential adopters pass-by, some pausing to share af-fection, volunteers stand at theready to share all they know.

The cages of potential petsare provided by area rescues,including Clermont PetsAlive!, a program of Pet Alli-ance, a 501(c)(3) (non-profit) or-ganization run exclusively byvolunteers. Clermont PetsAlive! was launched in May2012. Pet Alliance was foundedin 2006. Both are under theleadership of their founder,Clermont County residentAnita Barron. Her focus is topush for no-kill animal sheltersand to find homes for homelessanimals.

It’s hard work. For Barronand her dedicated volunteers,rescuing animals and findingthem their forever homes is apassion.

One such volunteer is BillO’Neal, a Maine resident wholives in New Richmond with hiswife and two daughters. Forthe past two years O’Neal, aneditor of science textbooks, hasvolunteered with ClermontPets Alive! Much of his volun-teer time is spent at the GrantCareer Center in Bethel tend-ing to the cats in cages there.He lavishes attention on thecats and kittens and works tosocialize them.

On Saturdays, O’Neal is thehuman face of Clermont PetsAlive! as he spends the day atPetSmart at Eastgate tendingto a table lined with cages andcats of varying ages and sizes.

The ultimate goal is for the catsto make a connection with a po-tential adopter. Such a connec-tion was made on a recent Sat-urday when O’Neal workedwith Andrea Stover of Bataviato complete her adoption pa-perwork.

Stover had seen litter matesNadia and Nadine on ClermontPets Alive! social media. Sheinitially planned to get a young-er cat.

“Then I found these two andwanted to keep them together.These will be my first (cats) bymyself. I’m excited,” she said.

Nancy Finn and her daugh-ter Lizzie, from Milford, arealso Clermont Pets Alive! vol-unteers. Their specialty is fos-ter care. Finn calls her daugh-ter the “cat whisperer.” She hasa gift for calming and socializ-ing otherwise difficult cats.

“I just chill the cat,” LizzieFinn said. One tool she uses forcalming kitties is music for

cats found online. She and hermom were at a recent adoptionevent at PetSmart looking tofind a forever home for theircurrent foster.

Clermont Pets Alive! is anactive rescue that specializesin cats but is also working toplace two large dogs. Largebreed dogs can be difficult toplace, especially if they lacktraining, Barron said. What therescue really needs right nowis funding, either through do-nations or successful grantwriting, and volunteers. Volun-teers to foster animals and helpwork adoption events are vitalto the rescue’s continued suc-cess.

Barron’s work dates back to2006 when she founded Pet Al-liance. Her vision was to repli-cate here locally the work ofNathan Winograd. Winogradcreated the nation’s first - andat the time only - full-serviceno-kill community, saving not

only dogs and cats but rabbits,hamsters, gerbils, horses, andothers. No-kill is defined as lessthan 10 percent of the animalsbeing euthanized.

Through the efforts of PetAlliance, spay and neuter clin-ics were brought to the Cincin-nati area via a mobile clinic.The need for the mobile clinicfaded when United Coalition ofAnimals and Ohio Alleycat Re-source opened clinics here.The new focus turned to edu-cating the local pet communityabout Winograd’s no-kill com-munity. The Pet Alliancebrought Winograd in as a guestspeaker at a couple of confer-ences.

Barron’s efforts resulted ina no-kill approach in the BooneCounty Animal Shelter and achange in management and di-rection in the Clermont CountyAnimal Shelter, she said. Whilemuch work remains to be done,Barron has accomplished a lot.

For change to happen, peo-ple need to be educated aboutwhat is happening in their localanimal shelters, Barron said.

“Right now, one thing I askevery community memberwho cares to do is to call theirlocal shelter and ask for theirstatistics,” she said. Some willshare the data and some willnot. Ask about the save rate,how many dogs come in, howmany go out and how many areeuthanized.

For information about thePet Alliance and Clermont PetsAlive!, visit the group’s Face-book page, Clermont PetsAlive.

Currently on that Facebookpage is a plea for fosters andadopters to help with 12 youngfriendly cats and kittens. Formore information about thesecats and adopting/fosteringvisit the Facebook page, visitclermontpetsalive.org or text/call Anita at (513) 317-3343.

Indian Hill Elementary School fifth-graders Lizzie Consolino, left, and Connor Coffman wereamong the students who recently participated in an iSPACE program at the school called“More to Light than Meets the Eye.”

Indian Hill ElementarySchool students aren’tjust learning about sci-ence. They are experienc-ing it.

This month the schoolbegan working with iS-PACE, a nonprofit scienceand education organiza-tion that travels to schoolsin the Cincinnati area.

“It’s hands on (learn-ing),” said Kathy Zubelik,an instructor with iS-PACE. “We bring it to theteachers.”

The goal of iSPACE isto foster an interest in sci-ence, technology, engi-neering and mathematics,commonly referred to asSTEM, as well as providestudents with an aware-ness of careers in thosefields. The program is forstudents in grades kinder-garten through grade 12.

“It gives the studentsan opportunity to learnand hear about sciencefrom other people and

(through) different typesof activities,” said JeffWells, a science and socialstudies teacher at IndianHill Elementary School.

Wells said iSPACE alsohas access to instructionalmaterials beyond what isin the traditional class-room.

Funding for the iS-PACE program at IndianHill Elementary Schoolwas provided by the Indi-an Hill Public SchoolsFoundation and the Do-rothy Koch Foundation.

Students at the schoolrecently completed a uniton light and sound.

Representatives fromiSPACE recently visitedthe school and furtheredstudy in this area by pre-senting a program on lightrefraction where the stu-dents made their own tele-scopes using aluminumfoil and cardboard tubing.

The students also madebracelets with beads thatchange color in ultravioletlight during the program,which was called “More toLight than Meets theEye.”

“I like that it is interac-tive,” said fifth-graderLizzie Consolino, of IndianHill. “It’s not just gettingfacts (or) writing stuff onpaper.”

Fifth-grader ConnorCoffman, of Indian Hill,likes that he and his class-mates got to conduct theirown experiments.

“They have pretty cre-ative things to do,” he said.

Zubelik said the iS-PACE program is typical-ly geared toward a specif-ic area of study.

For example, while In-dian Hill students werestudying about light, apresentation at anotherschool might focus onforce and motion usingLego cars.

Wells said the iSPACEprogram has benefits be-yond Science, Technology,Engineering and Mathe-matics.

“It adds a little bit tothe student’s experience,”he said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bill really wants to recreatethese beans “from the hllls of

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you, LovelandFire Department

My husband and I would liketo thank the Loveland -Symmesfirefighters, Station 61, Unit No.3, who came to our home Feb. 11to rescue our little tropical love-bird.

In the process of transport-ing her to the car for a trip to thevet, she managed to escape hercage and flew into the treeacross the street. We tried ev-erything we could think of tolure her back to her cage, butshe would not come back.

The weather was belowfreezing and she is missingmost of her feathers. We triedfor four hours to get her back,but she just kept flying fromtree to tree.

She finally settled high up ina large ash tree in our backyard. By this point we were des-perate, we knew she could notlast much longer outside in theweather. We decided to call the

Loveland Symmes Fire Depart-ment for help.

As I was frantically explain-ing the situation to the officer,he was very reassuring and toldme they would be right over.They soon arrived and accessedthe situation. The chief told meto bring out a pillowcase whilethey set up their extension lad-der against the tree. The officerclimbed right up the ladder withthe pillowcase and was able tograb her. The officers evenpushed her big cage through thesnow back into the house for us.

We brought her in and aftershe warmed up, she was as goodas new. We are so grateful thatthey were willing to come to ourhouse, and that they knew ex-actly what to do. We have gonethrough some losses lately, andour little bird means so much tous. They saved her life, and wewill be forever grateful.

March 16 questionIn how many NCAA tourna-

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

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

CARA OWSLEY/THE COMMUNITYPRESS

Xavier was no doubt a favorite in the brackets of many local fans.

In the 2016 presidential cam-paign, several candidates havebeen referred to as “outsiders,”meaning that they arose topolitical prominence withouthaving followed a usual paththat includes elective office:Carly Fiorina (business), BenCarson (medicine) and DonaldTrump (business and media).

Presumably, such outsiderstatus indicates a candidatewho is independent of a Wash-ington Beltway mentality ever-pushing for federal governmentreach and control.

Two of the perceived “out-sider” candidates have quit(Fiorina and Carson), leavingonly Trump whose inter-lockingrelations with government andpoliticians (through businessdeals, subsidies, and donationsto both parties,also known as“corporatism” or “crony cap-italism”) expose his true statusas an “insider.”

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz isalso viewed as an “outsider”despite his long holding electiveoffice due to his opposition notonly to Obama and the social-istic Democrat Party agenda,but for his attacks on the in-effectiveness of the Republican

Party leader-ship despiteRepublicancontrol of theHouse since2010 and boththe House andSenate since2014.

Cruz evenquestioned theintegrity of theSenate Major-

ity Leader, Mitch McConnell,calling McConnell a “liar” onthe Senate floor after McCon-nell had reversed previouspromises not to renew fundingfor the corporatist darling, theExport-Import Bank.

During the campaign pre-ceding the Iowa caucuses, Cruzdid the unthinkable: he opposedethanol subsidies to Iowa(largely corporate) farmers,earning the vitriol of Repub-lican Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad,but the approval of Iowa voters(Cruz won the caucuses).

Cruz also opposes so-calledimmigration reform and “free-trade” bills championed by theU.S. Chamber of Commerceand The Wall Street Journal(the Journal has called for com-

pletely open borders since1984).

Ignored by the media duringthis campaign is the fact that in2008 Texas Solicitor Cruz beatthe George W. Bush administra-tion in one of the most impor-tant Supreme Court cases: Me-dellin v. Texas (552 U.S. 491,2008). In that case, Bush sidedwith the Mexican governmentand a convicted illegal immi-grant rapist and killer againstthe State of Texas which soughtto execute him. Bush even ap-pealed to the European-basedWorld Court.

The Bush family has beenknown as corporate globalistsback to the days of Sen. Pres-cott Bush, whose company’sassets (he was a director andstockholder) were seized in1942 under the Trading With theEnemy Act. In 2004, Craig Un-ger of Vanity Fair magazinepublished House of Bush,House of Saud: The Secret Rela-tionship between the World’sTwo Most Powerful Dynasties.

It is often said that “moneytalks.” In politics, follow themoney.

Why ‘establishment’ hates Cruz

randyKleineCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

There are few movies orsports teams that I won’t watchjust because they include anactor or player I don’t like.

Despite their sometimesdestructive personal lives, Ican always change the channelor boycott the game. Theirlives don’t have an impact onme. At the end of the day, be-cause they provide us enter-tainment, they can prettymuch say or do anything theywant. In other words, celebri-ties can do no wrong and all ofus keep watching.

Unfortunately, this phenom-enon is now infecting our poli-tics, and it is dangerous for ourdemocracy. During this presi-dential primary season wehave seen celebrity candidatesarise that no matter how out-landish they are or no matterhow much their statementsconflict with the truth, theyare immune from the social

standardswe’ve set foreach other.This election isbecoming acontest aboutwho can enter-tain us ratherthan who canlead us.

Unlike thewayward actoror sports fig-

ure, the President of the Unit-ed States has an impact on ourlives – from the security of ournation to our social securitychecks. What they say and domatters both here and abroad.While this election season isindeed entertaining, it mayresult in the lowest bar forAmerican leadership selectionthat we’ve ever seen.

Past is prologue in politics,history repeats itself and rec-ords do matter. All of us read

product reviews to see howthey’ve performed before webuy them, we look at compa-nies’ past earnings results tojudge whether we should buytheir stock, and we hire peopleat our workplaces based ontheir resumes. I know thatmany politicians have madepromises that they are notkeeping, but trusting the wordof new entrants with no recordis even more precarious.

So why this year, do wethrow common sense out thewindow? Why are we not mea-suring our presidential candi-dates with the same bar we dofor other things? And why dowe blindly believe those thatentertain us?

The answer is simple, be-cause celebrities can do nowrong.

I followed with great in-terest the Kim Davis spectacle.

My first point is one veryimportant point stressed by thefounders of our great nationsis freedom of religion, notfreedom from religion. Beforeyou accuse me of stepping ontoes, give me the right to ex-press my arbitrary beliefs. Ihave friends of many religionsand respect their beliefs as Iexpect them to respect mine. Ialso respect the right of athe-ists to their beliefs, providingthey adhere to the same cour-tesies. Having made this clear,let us proceed into what I thinkis a reasonable solution to thisdivisive issue.

Marriage is a religious issueand is ingrained strongly intoreligious practices. To respectany individual’s feelings on itis showing proper respect. Ms.Davis was following and hon-oring her beliefs. I respect herfor that. What I feel is neededis an acceptable way to honorindividuals that disagree withher and the many others whoshare her religious feelings.She must have known public

sentiments andwould havebeen wise tonot antagonizethose who donot accept herbeliefs.

There aremany in oursociety whohave the needfor legal pro-

tections. They may have fi-nancial reasons to require anacknowledgment of their unitywith another person either ofthe same or opposite sex. It isnot our prerogative to questionthis need. It can be simply theloss of a longtime belovedspouse or partner. Old agebecomes a time when the sol-ace of a caring person is notonly essential, but a comfort asthe end of life approaches.

Even if the sexual relation-ship of a beloved partner is notthe same as expected norms,there is value in a trustingrelationship. Those who lookdown on this type of relation-ship should accept that theyare not a part of it and should

accept is as the personalchoice of two individuals.

My solution to this touchyissue is to establish a bindingsimilar social contract that isrecognized as a civil union. Itcould be recognized as a reli-gious rite by any acceptingclergy. Or, barring clericalrecognition, a civil ceremonyby accepting officials shouldbe recognized. Even if no cere-mony is desired, legal accep-tance of the same rights of atraditional marriage should bevalid. This would eliminate theuproar that erupted in Ken-tucky and hopefully pacify thesensibilities of the the properlyreligious people who feel theirfreedom of religion has beattacked.

We have enough problemsin our society that could beremedied by a simple recog-nition by all parties of the needto resolve the conflict in acivilized manner. I dare saythat would be the recommen-dation of our wise foundingfathers.

Moeller’s David Wernery goes airborne for the serve against Mason lastMay.

When you compete at Moell-er High School, an appearancein the Division I state finals fouryears ago isn’t enough to make aCrusader content.

Though they do rest occa-sionally, coach Matt McLaugh-lin’s squad will not rest on theirlaurels as they seek to return tothe state finals at Capital Uni-versity in Columbus. Last sea-son, a loss to Beavercreek keptMoeller out of the finals.

Overall, the Crusaders haveseven state championships (oneunder McLaughlin, four fromformer coach Greg Ulland andtwo from former coach TomBrinkmann). Moeller has beento the championship game 11times since the boys competi-tion began in 1988.

Last season, Moeller was 21-7overall and tied for second inthe Greater Catholic League-South at 3-3. McLaughlin has 86career wins in five years andshould reach the century markthis spring.

Returning starters are Con-nor McNamara, David Wer-nery, Chad Mustard, JasonBruggemann, Jonny Rickertand Ben Reutelshofer.

“I feel like we’ve had a strongoff-season in the weight roomand these guys have certainlyimproved in their club sea-sons,” McLaughlin said. “I also

like the leadership this groupbrings. They’re a driven and fo-cused group and it’s positivelyimpacting our younger play-ers.”

Since they started kickingand running seven years ago,Moeller’s rugby team has won astate championship, finished asrunner-up three times and madethe state semifinals two othertimes.

Last season ended with a lossto Cleveland St. Ignatius for achance to go to the state cham-pionship again.

This spring the Crusadershave already made a weekendtrip to Nashville to get games inand enthusiasm is running high.For example, rather than take arecommended week off, Moell-er state tournament wrestlersJack Meyer and Trevor Han-kins were at practice on Mon-day, about 48 hours after de-parting the Schottenstein Cen-ter mats in Columbus.

“He (Meyer) decided for hissenior rugby season he wouldcome to practice right away,”Moeller coach Steve Kuhlmansaid.

Even though Moeller has abevy of spring sports, the Cru-saders field three rugby teamswith a varsity “A” and varsity“B” plus a junior varsity that’smainly freshmen and sopho-mores.

“We have about 74 (players)right now,” second-year coachKuhlman said.

The rugby schedule some-what resembles Moeller’s fallfootball ledger with top-notchcompetition. In addition to a re-match of last year’s semifinalwith Cleveland St. Ignatius,they play a “who’s who” in highschool rugby.

“(Lakewood St. Edward) isranked sixth in the nation, Igna-tius is 18th or 19th and Browns-burg (Indiana) is 14th and (Indi-anapolis) Cathedral won the na-tional championship last year,”Kuhlman said. “St. X is always agood competitor and Lakota hasalways had a strong team.”

Some of Moeller’s top per-formers are Jacob Gall, AndyBeitman, Jack Meyer, NateHeister and Kaevon Salehpour.Other returning starters are

Bobby Tull, Alec Bayliff andChandler Dixon.

Like many Moeller sports,the rugby program has somehistory since being started in2009 by former offensive linecoach Doug Rosfeld. Kuhlmanplayed for Rosfeld (now withthe University of Cincinnati’sfootball program) on Moeller’sstate championship squad.

In year one at the helm ascoach, Moeller finished 8-3 andhad their seventh straight win-ning season.

“I inherited a crazy talented

squad last year,” Kuhlman said. The Moeller Division I varsi-

ty “A” team features all return-ing players. Gall, a top scorerlast year, is again among theleaders in points. The sport isalso attractive to a lot of wres-tlers.

From soccer, the Crusadershave added the kicking andscoring abilities of Mick Hamil-ton. After being injured last sea-son, he was Moeller’s point lead-er after the initial weekend inNashville.

The “B” team is often com-prised of new or first-time play-ers.

“We always start out brandnew players on ‘B’ side to seewhat they’re like,” Kuhlmansaid. “In their first game theytend to make a lot of penalties.They tend to pick it up after thatfirst game.”

A home game is ahead onApril 2 with Moeller hostingBrunswick for three matches(one for each team).

versity of Cincinnati March23, Moeller begins with a dou-bleheader March 26 withgames against Highlands andStrongsville. From March31-April 2, Moeller will play inthe Louisville Slugger Classicat Lake Point, Georgia. TheGreater Catholic League-South opener is April 6 againstLa Salle at Schuler Park.

CHCAThe Miami Valley Confer-

ence, particularly its Scarletdivision, should again be oneof the tougher leagues in thearea.

In recent years, CHCA hasshown itself to be well-equipped to handle the chaosagainst teams such as Cincin-nati Country Day and SummitCountry Day. This yearshouldn’t be an exception.

There are a couple newfaces, including the one stand-ing in the third base coachingbox as Nick Rosenfeldt takesover for Jeff Keith. Rosen-feldt is far from new to theprogram, however.

He began his coachingcareer under Larry Redwinein 2004 and became juniorvarsity head coach in 2011. Hewas the top assistant underKeith as well.

That said, the Eagles returnplenty of talent from lastyear’s regional semifinal teamincluding captains Chase Mur-ray, Johnny Noyen and DavidJung.

Murray, a Georgia Techcommit, is a returning captainand all-state player from lastseason.

St. XavierNow in his third season as

head baseball at St. Xavier,Bob Sherlock feels like this isthe deepest team he’s had onNorth Bend Road.

“I like our talent, I like ourdepth,” said Sherlock. “We lostsome good players last yearand we’ll miss them but wefeel like we replaced them forthe most part talent wise.We’re deeper than the firsttwo years I was here. Teamchemistry is starting to comeabout. The seniors have expe-rience and the juniors kind ofhave that youthful enthusiasm— it’s a good mix, I really like

how they’re coming together. “We really like our club,

much stronger all the wayaround.”

The Bombers have fourreturning starters and a fewlive arms with varsity experi-ence.

Senior left fielder NoahMehrle, who’s signed to play atCase Western University, hit.299 last season and returns tothe starting lineup along withsenior catcher J.P. Bitzenhof-er, who’s signed with the Uni-versity of Kentucky. Bitzen-hofer hit .304 last year and hada team-high 18 RBI. Seniorsecond baseman Sam Anken-bauer also returns to the start-ing lineup after hitting .280with 21 hits a season ago. Ju-nior shortstop Trevor Kunclalso returns, and Sherlock saidnow that Kuncl has a year ofvarsity under his belt in theGreater Catholic League,they’re expecting big thingsfrom him.

Senior Ben Elsen will helptend the hot corner at thirdbase and junior center fielderMichael Cleary will be a bigpiece for the Bombers.

On the mound, junior right-handers Sam Kendall and SamKlare will handle a lot of in-nings. Sophomore NathanKappers threw nine innings onvarsity last season.

Sherlock said of Kappers,“He’s got a great frame (6-foot-3, 195 pounds), very re-peatable delivery, verysmooth … a great mound pres-ence; throwing on varsity as afreshman didn’t phase him.”

Senior left-hander BrennanHatten, who’s signed withOhio Dominican, and juniorright-hander Shayne Rice willbe primary relievers.

“Defensively I think we’llbe able to play with anybody,”said Sherlock. “Our pitching ismuch improved. If we’re ableto hold the opposition down(offensively) and our bats canperform we should have agood year.

“We’ve got an awfullytough schedule, but we wantguys who want to play in bigball games. I think overallwe’re better … but the sched-ule is tougher.”

St. X opens up at homeagainst Nitro, the state runner-up in West Virginia last sea-son, on March 26 before wel-coming Centerville on March28.

The Southwest OhioAir Quality Agency hasresumed monitoring andreporting pollen andmold counts in prepara-tion for allergy season.

This is the time whensome trees common inSouthwest Ohio (cedar,elm) naturally pollinate.

Pollen and moldcounts are available eachweekday by 10 a.m. at513-946-7753 or South-westOhioAir.org. Highcounts are also reportedon Twitter (@swohioair)and Facebook (South-westOhioAir).

The severity of aller-gy symptoms depends onthe amount of pollen inthe air and the degree ofsensitivity of the person.To reduce exposure topollen and mold, theSouthwest Ohio Air Qual-ity Agency recommends:

» Minimize outdooractivity between 5 a.m.and 10 a.m. – when pollen

levels are highest.» Contact an allergist

or doctor for medical ad-vice.

» Track pollen andmold counts. The higherthe pollen and mold countis, the greater thelikeli-hood that particles willmake their way into thenasal passages and lungsand induce allergicsymptoms.

When the weatherwarms up in the spring,additional precautionsallergy sufferers cantake include:

» Avoid areas withfreshly cut grass andavoid lawn care activ-ities.

» After being out-doors, it is best to showerand change clothing, aspollen can adhere toclothing, skin and hair.Be aware that pets canalso bring pollen intoyour home.

» Keep windows

closed and use an air con-ditioner in the home andcar as much as possibleto reduce the amount ofallergens entering.

» Don't hang sheets orclothing outside to dry.Pollens can collect onthem.

The Southwest OhioAir Quality Agencyworks with governmentagencies, businesses,communities and citi-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.
