How did local trio The Bundys fare in ‘The Voice’ Battle Round? Jennie Key and Carol Motsinger Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A pedestrian crosses the street at the intersection of Virginia and Colerain avenues on March 22, in Cincinnati. According to the Ohio Department of Transportation, that is one of the most dangerous intersections in the state. ALBERT CESARE/ENQUIRER

These are the most dangerous intersections in Cincinnati Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

About once a week, something happens at the intersection of Colerain and Virginia avenues in Northside. One morning, it was a T-bone crash after a driver made a bad left turn, cutting oﬀ a car coming the opposite direction. A diﬀ erent evening, it was a hit-skip crash after one driver rear-ended another at a red light. Week after week, those crashes add up to make Colerain and Virginia one of the most dangerous intersections in the state, according to Ohio Department of Transportation records. From 2013 to 2017, that intersection saw an average of roughly 48 crashes a year. “It’s a freeway,” said James HellerJackson, a Northside resident and former communications director for the neighborhood’s community council. Heller-Jackson said he was “not shocked at all” that Colerain and Virginia is near the top of the state’s dangerousintersections list. The speed limit is 35, but people drive much faster, he said.

“People go up and down that hill going 55, 60 easily,” he said. “You don’t have a chance.” ODOT keeps a list that ranks the 150 most dangerous intersections in the state – 50 urban, 50 suburban and 50 rural. There’s a record of how many crashes occur annually at each intersection and how many crashes – given funding for safety improvements – might be avoided. That could be something as simple as trimming brush to improve sightlines. Or, it could be as complicated and costly as adding a stoplight or reconﬁ guring a road layout. From ODOT’s list of 150 dangerous intersections, 32 are local, in Hamilton, Butler, Warren and Clermont counties. Together, those local intersections account for 881 crashes a year. But, ODOT predicts that with more safety funding, it could cut that number to 280 – a 68 percent drop. At Virginia and Colerain avenues, speciﬁ cally, the state predicts it could cut crashes from 48 a year to three, a 93 percent improvement.

‘Really, really, really dark’ Colerain Avenue is bad, and not just at that one intersection. In fact, a stretch of Colerain Avenue less than 10 miles long earned fi ve spots on the dangerous-intersections list: at the crossings with Virginia Avenue in Northside and Harry Lee Lane, Round Top Road, Redskin Drive and Struble Road in Colerain Township. Together, those intersections account for an average of 119 crashes a year. With safety fi xes, that could potentially be cut to 22. Pam “Bubbles” Ellis works at Kahoots Pub at the corner of Colerain Avenue and Harry Lee Lane. She was in the pub when, just a few feet up the road, Colerain Township Police Offi cer Dale Woods was hit by a car and killed in early January. She remembers a couple years back a man was hit trying to walk across the street. “There’s not a streetlight between Banning and Galbraith,” she said. “And See INTERSECTIONS, Page 2A

The Wyoming Bundys took the stage in the fi rst Battle Round for Team Kelly Clarkson Monday, March 25 on NBC's "The Voice," facing 14-year-old Mikaela Astel. It's the fi rst time four people have taken the stage in a Battle Round: The Bundys – Megan, Katey and Ryan Bundy – are the fi rst trio to make it to the Battle Rounds. Singer Kelsea Ballerini was the adviser helping artists on Team Kelly Clarkson prepare for their Battle Rounds. Clarkson picked "Songbird," a song by Fleetwood Mac recently covered by one of the trio's favorite artists, Eva Cassidy. The sibling vocals melded into harmonies that welcomed Mikaela's pure, clear voice into the mix. During the coaching session, the Bundy siblings "adopted" the teen. "She's our little sister now. We've adopted her into our family," said Katey Bundy. That struck a chord with Ballerini. "I loved how much they embraced Mikaela," she said. "You could tell they kind of took her under their wing. This performance is about collaborating – having a great performance for both people's benefi t. I saw that with them today." See BUNDYS, Page 2A

Colerain police: Please help us with groups of teens Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

An oﬃ cer has been injured. Kids have been arrested. And now Colerain police are asking for the public to help keep things calm around Northgate Mall and the Xscape Theater. In a letter to Colerain High School parents, the top brass at the police department said groups of loitering juveniles have become "disruptive and intimidating." "Some of this conduct has escalated to the point of criminal activity," the letter said. "This is completely unacceptable for something that is entirely preventable and puts these groups, the remainder of the public and responding police oﬃ cers at risk for victimization or injury."

guardians to pick up children and teens as soon as movies end. Northgate Mall's policy is that no one under the age of 17 is permitted on the mall property without a parent after 5:00 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, and during periods of school breaks. This also includes the parking lot, parking garage, and nearby restaurants. Colerain Township’s juvenile curfew law states that no person under the age of 18 is permitted in public without a parent accompanying them between the hours of midnight and 5:00 a.m. unless going to or from a school or church event, or their employment. "We are committed to providing an enjoyable and safe environment for all and we thank you for your cooperation and your role in these eﬀ orts," the letter said.

White Oak Middle student has whooping cough Jennie Key Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A student at White Oak Middle School has been diagnosed with whooping cough. A letter sent to parents last Wednesday afternoon said to contain the spread of the infection, parents should monitor children for symptoms, keep sick children home and take them to see a physician for testing and treatment if they show signs or symptoms of pertussis. Parents were told to take the letter from the school with them when seeking medical attention. The observation period for the exposure ends April 11. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratory disease. It is

there’s no crosswalks. It’s really, really, really dark.” When Ellis leaves work, she doesn’t even bother trying to turn directly onto Colerain Avenue from Harry Lee Lane. She knows it’s dangerous, and it’s not worth the risk, she said, so she drives the opposite way, down a couple blocks, over, and back up to use a stoplight. That’s what all the locals and regulars do, she said.

A budget battle One hundred miles north of Cincinnati, in the Ohio Statehouse, Governor Mike DeWine and legislators are in the ﬁ nal throes of a budget battle. DeWine, who took oﬃ ce in January, wants an extra 18 cents per gallon tacked onto the gas tax. That would raise an ad-

caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. Pertussis frequently mimics cold symptoms at the outset. The letter to parents said early signs of pertussis are similar to those of the common cold, with runny nose, sneezing and mild cough. After one to two weeks, the cough becomes more severe and spasmodic. People can infect others from the time they begin to have cold-like symptoms until three weeks after the coughing episodes begin. Adults and children who have had their DPT immunizations may have milder disease. However, pertussis can cause serious illness with sometimes fatal complications in young infants and persons with pre-existing respiratory disease. People who haven't been immunized are also at-risk and should

consult with their physicians. A person with pertussis is infectious for fi ve days after they begin antibiotics, the letter said. Ohio law requires that "A person with pertussis. if eff ective antimicrobial therapy is given... shall be isolated for fi ve days after initiation of antimicrobial therapy." This means that if a child is diagnosed with pertussis, they must remain at home and may not attend school, daycare or other activities until fi ve full days of antibiotics are given. Hamilton County Assistant Health Commissioner Craig Davidson said while whooping cough is occasionally reported in Hamilton County, the White Oak case is the most recent. The law requires that the local health department complete a full investiga-

ditional $1.2 billion a year for road and bridge projects. ODOT has said it needs an extra billion dollars a year. DeWine called his tax increase the “bare minimum” needed to fi x Ohio’s infrastructure. But the Ohio House cut that 18-cent hike to 10.7 cents in its version of the budget. And the Senate slashed it even further, to 6 cents per gallon, one-third of the governor’s initial request. Lawmakers from both chambers will meet this week to work out their diff erences and come up with a fi nal bill. A poll shows most Ohioans oppose DeWine's gas tax, but the governor is not backing down. "We have it within our hands in the next few days to save lives," he told reporters on Friday. "That's just a fact. We know what it takes." There's no way to stop every crash, DeWine said, but "when we know where the dangerous areas are ... don't we have an obligation to go after them? Don't we have an obligation to go fi x them?"

gest caveat – ODOT doesn’t have specifi c plans for how to make these intersections safer. The list is based on intersections with higher-than-expected crash rates, given the location, type of intersection and volume of traffi c. The potential for improvement – how many crashes could be eliminated – is based on what is happening at other similar locations. Any specifi c plans, however, would come later, after ODOT gets the funding to study each site, said spokesman Matt Bruning. “We have engineers here that know exactly what kind of solutions need to be sought at some of these intersections,” Bruning said. “Unfortunately, some of the solutions cost a lot of money. Some don’t cost as much. But we know, by and large, how we can work to make roadways and intersections safer when we have the tools to do that.” Not everyone shares that faith. Angie Schmitt, who writes for the pro-walking, pro-biking, transit site Streetsblog, said she thinks safety will actually decrease if ODOT and the governor get what they want. ODOT tends to spend money on things that reduce congestion and make traffi c go faster, Schmitt said -- highway widening, for example. And when traffi c goes faster, more people get hurt. More than 1,000 people die each year in traffi c crashes in Ohio. Nationwide, there are more than 40,000 traffi c deaths each year. “That’s totally unacceptable,” Schmitt said. But “the work ODOT is doing is just not going to help. … We should think critically about what they’re saying. We spend a lot of money for bad outcomes.” Heller-Jackson, from Northside, is also skeptical. He thinks the real solution lies in better enforcement. Right now, he said, drivers “know they can get away with running a red light. They know they don’t have to obey that no-turn-on-red sign. We can re-engineer until the cows come home – without that enforcement piece in place, it’s going to mean nothing.”

No speciﬁ c plans It sounds great: Pay a little more each time you buy gas, get streets that are a whole lot safer. But, there are a few caveats to the dangerous-intersections list and to ODOT’s plan. One, it is limited to intersections under state control. Two, it doesn’t include places where there is already a safety project underway. And three – the big-

The trio supported and encouraged the teen during the coaching with Ballerini and onstage. Mikaela's piercing tone ﬁ t the song well, and the performance wove all four voices in harmonies. They ﬁ t together well. Newcomer coach John Legend said The Bundys' harmonies were gorgeous. Coach Adam Levine said The Bundys were "super-sweet. I could feel the energy of like 'we're doing this together. It was really graceful." The coaches all commented on Mikaela's pure tone, and Blake Shelton told her she should not be discouraged, but keep working. "This is what you were meant to do," he said. In the end, Clarkson picked the trio, and they move on in the competition. Astel admitted nerves got the best of her, but she also celebrated the encouragement she received from the coaches – and The Bundys – to continue developing her talent. "We love this girl so much. She truly became part of our family. Just promise us, @MikaelaAstel that you’ll have us open for you someday," the trio tweeted after the Battle aired. Clarkson felt the love. "Such a beautiful moment between all four of you! It was like one big happy family. Y’all made me so proud!" she tweeted after the performance.

tion when results are positive for certain infectious diseases such as pertussis in order to prevent further spread. Davidson said the school will remain in communication with the health department. Davidson said it's important for parents to follow the CDC vaccination guidelines to make sure booster shots are up to date. He said it is particularly important to protect newborns and infants, who are most at-risk. It is also suggested that adults who care for newborns and infants, including new parents and grandparents, to be up to date with their boosters as well. Northwest spokesman Dustin Gehring said the district is in communication with the health department, sent letters to parents and will continue to communicate with parents as needed.

I mentioned to Dave that I had met with Pauline Murrie years ago who was then chef owner of Main Street Café . Picking her brain about the chili, Pauline was pretty close lipped. And the only thing I could pry out of her was “start with the freshest meat, an 80-20 ratio and cook the meat without browning ﬁ rst.” The seasonings were “normal stuﬀ , but I use a bunch”, Pauline said.

Acquisition of much of the land is being funded in part by the Green Space Conservation Program, a division of the Ohio Public Works Commission’s Clean Ohio Fund. “By leveraging Great Parks funds to secure additional Clean Ohio funds for growth, we’re expanding our capacity to preserve and protect natural resources in Hamilton County,” said Jack Sutton, CEO of Great Parks. “This is an impor-

tant strategy as we seek to provide more recreational opportunities in the parks for today’s generation and those to come.” The Green Space Conservation Program is dedicated to environmental conservation, including the acquisition of green space. It has provided funding for many other additions to Great Parks over the years. Among the land added in 2018 with Clean Ohio funding were properties owned by the Arand families, adjacent to Great Parks’ Farbach-Werner Nature Preserve. Brothers Robert and Clarence Arand lived side by side on the properties for more than 60 years until both of them passed away recently. Clarence’s daughter Donna Bonnet remembers that the two brothers had a total of nine children living in two houses sitting on just under two acres. “We were one big happy family, with huge family picnics and kids running between the houses,” Donna said. “We have great memories of growing up in the house our dad built and playing baseball and other games in our yards and the Farbach ﬁ eld, apple orchard and woods. We had so much fun along the creeks and small pond there.” The Arands originally purchased the property from Ada Farbach, whose family homestead would later become Farbach-Werner Nature Preserve. Now several generations later, Donna is pleased to see the property rejoin the old Farbach property so it can be preserved and available for everyone. “This will allow us to go back and enjoy the land any time we want, even with our children and grandchildren,” Donna continued. “We miss the time we spent there together, but we know that having this land with the parks will make my dad and uncle happy.” In addition to acquisitions such as the Arand property, Great Parks land also includes tracts that it leases and manages long-term and land that falls under conservation easements.

La Salle’s Byrd decommits from Maryland, reopens recruitment John Snodgrass Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Lucas Byrd, a two-time state champion and the most decorated wrestler in La Salle history, announced his decommitment from the University of Maryland Tuesday, March 26. Byrd, who won the Division I 120pound state championship earlier this month announced via Twitter that he had requested and received a release from the Terrapins and was looking to reopen his recruitment. Byrd had signed with the Terps back in November. "After much discussion with friends, family, teammates, and coaches I decided to ask for my release from the University of Maryland," Byrd posted on the social media site. "First and foremost, I

would like to sincerely thank Coach McCoy, Coach Sheptock, and the entire staﬀ for believing in me, providing me an amazing opportunity, and granting me a full release. I have decided to reopen my recruitment at this time. I am grateful to everyone that has supported and helped me now and throughout my career. I am excited to ﬁ nd a home and for what the future holds!" Byrd's decision comes on the heels of Maryland coach Kerry McCoy announcing that he would be stepping down from the program after this year's NCAA tournament. The tournament concluded this past weekend with the Terrapins placing 27th in the nation and collecting an AllAmerican wrestler in Youssif Hemida. "I had a pretty good connection with coach McCoy, with him stepping down I,

as I said in my tweet, I had to talk to friends, family, coaches. It was the best decision to change directions," Byrd said. Maryland was understanding of the situation. "Maryland was super easy. They agreed; they probably weren't happy about it, but Maryland is looking out for what's best for me and their athletes," Byrd said. "Maryland, it could have been a really hard process but they made it easy. It wasn't super stressful." Byrd became just the second state champion in La Salle history last year when he won the DI state championship at 113 pounds as a junior.

Track and ﬁ eld in Greater Cincinnati started Saturday, March 23. Here are storylines to watch heading into the season.

Can the Princeton girls repeat their strong 2018 state showing? At the Division I state championship meet last season, the Princeton girls team notched the most points by a Greater Cincinnati area school, boys included, with a 19-point, 10th-place fi nish. Angel Gazaway took home the state title in the 300-meter hurdles, fi nished seventh in the 100-meter hurdles and anchored a 4x400 team that claimed a fi fth-place fi nish. But Gazaway has graduated, and the Vikings must press on without their highly touted runner. Princeton does return a strong core of returning players, though, and head coach Darren Braddix views the depth of his team as a strength. “We may not have a team full of superstars, but we have one of the most talented and well-rounded teams to come through here in years,” Braddix said, adding “all relay records will be challenged this year.”

Can Moeller build on its 2018 success? The Crusaders ran well at the Division I state meet, placing third in the 4x100 relay and setting a school record with a time of 42.08. Additionally, Ryan

Jeﬀ Timmers, CHCA boys and girls – For the boys, Timmers likes his increased numbers, providing depth that was present in previous years. “What I like about the boys team this year is the addition of many quality sprinters,” Timmer said. “Last year we didn’t have the depth it may give us an opportunity to be in the mix for an MVC title. I believe the sprint team has a shot at breaking the 400-meter relay and will give them an opportunity for a state qualifying time.” While Timmers likes his sprinting depth on the boys team, he views his distance runners as the strength of the girls squad. “For the girls, I am excited to see what our distance team can do to help our overall performance in each meet,” Timmers said. “It will be the strongest aspect of our team this year and I’m hoping that will motivate our hurdlers, sprints and ﬁ eld events.”

COLLEGE HILL - Mercy McAuley High School has named Denise Harvey as the new head varsity volleyball coach. Harvey currently serves as Mercy McAuley’s Athletic Director, and will continue to serve in that role along with her new coaching responsibilities. Harvey replaces Greg Samuels, who served as Mercy McAuley’s head varsity volleyball coach during the school’s inaugural 2018 season. The Wolves fi nished 22-4 last season and won a district championship before a fi veset loss to Mount Notre Harvey Dame in the regional opener. Samuels stepped down from the head coaching position, but will continue to provide assistance to the volleyball program. “Mercy McAuley is fortunate to have great coaches who demonstrate tremendous leadership and commitment; Greg Samuels is one of those great coaches,” Harvey said. “We are grateful to him for his service to the volleyball program and we look forward to his ongoing contributions. He is truly an asset; and I look forward to building on the 2018 team's successes." Harvey, a 1991 Mother of Mercy alum, has over 20 years of secondary education experience in the classroom, as a school administrator, as a coach and in athletic administration. Prior to serving as athletic director at Mercy McAuley, she was Mother of Mercy’s head varsity volleyball coach since 2000, where she earned a state title in 2007 and achieved her 300th win in 2017. Mercy was also Division I state runner-up in 2004 and 2006 under Harvey. Harvey also served as Mother of Mercy’s Athletic Director since 2011 and Assistant Principal for Student Aff airs since 2014. Harvey received her Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism and Broadcast News from Ohio University, where she also earned her Master’s Degree in Physical Education and Athletic Administration.

season he also helped lead the Lancers to state runner-up fi nishes at both the state dual meet and the state individual championships. "It's everything," Byrd told the Enquirer following his 120-pound championship earlier this month. "I train 16 weeks out of the year for a six-minute match. I train all year for a six-minute match and that match has to be almost perfect for me to wrestle. My coaches, my training partners, everybody that's built me up; my coaches have given me a schedule to be where I need to be and I'm grateful for my parents, my coaches, my teammates. They all have my back and I love them to death." Byrd fi nished his career with the Lancers as a two-time state champion, a four-time state qualifi er and a four-time state-placer. In addition to his two state titles, Byrd placed third at 106 pounds as a sophomore and seventh at 106 as a freshman. "Lucas Byrd is one of a kind.

Dr. Viola Johnson, a member of the Winton Woods board of education since 2014, was elected board president at a recent organizational meeting. Board member Katrina Rugless, who has served since 2016, was elected vicepresident. Dr. Viola Johnson and her husband, Ronald, have lived in the Winton Woods School District since 1986. They have four Winton Woods graduates. Dr. Johnson has worked in administrative and professorial roles with Cincinnati State Technical and Community College for the past 29 years. She also worked as a buyer for General Electric Aircraft Engines in Cincinnati and was also an educator and academic administrator at Essex College of Business in the state of New Jersey. Dr. Johnson earned her Bachelor’s degree in Business Education from West Virginia Institute of Technology, Master’s degree in PM/Deaf Studies from St. Thomas University, and Doctorate in Education from the Union Institute and University. “As an educator with over 35 years of experience, I believe that every student can learn and my motto is, ‘When a learner is ready, a teacher will appear,’” said Johnson. “I am dedicated to supporting initiatives which create an atmosphere that empowers students to pursue life-long educational and career goals while developing professionally. It is my belief that everyone deserves an opportunity to learn, and I place a high value on developing relationships that build a culture of high expectations and excellence. Emphasis on student development, training, and college readiness starts in elementary school. Developing partnerships with school administrators, educators, community members, students, parents, and area employers is critical to building pipelines of enriched educational experiences for the students at Winton Woods City Schools. It is an honor and a privilege to work with the other members of the school board on behalf of all of the stakeholders of this great school district.” Mrs. Katrina Rugless has been a resident of the school district for over 17 years.

He's a class act all the way. He's a quality, quality person. A good leader, a good representative of La Salle High School and I'll say, I think, of Ohio wrestling." The two-time state champ now has a new decision to make. Byrd said his phone has been blowing up since the announcement as several colleges have let him know that they're interested. He wants to narrow his focus to 10 schools but he has yet to decide which 10 to put on that list. He still has four oﬃ cial visits that he can take and he already knows a couple of schools he'd like to check out. And Maryland, he says, is still an option. "I was talking to my dad: 18 months ago we couldn't have predicted that coach McCoy was going to step down, I was going to win another state title and be (ranked) No. 1 in the country," Byrd said. "It's weird being back (in the recruiting process) and trying to ﬁ nd a new home. I'm excited. I'm excited to see where I end up. I know my family, La Salle, Southwest Ohio, I know they'll have my back."

ognition with The Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition. Her hand drawing titled, “Mocha View”, will be on display at the Ohio Statehouse for several weeks. Additionally, three other Finneytown High School students earned regional recognition for their art pieces. Karina Ahangkari was recognized for her fi ber piece “Dream House”, Oliver Orue earned support for his colorful drawing “Decay”, Brennan Jones received an award for his digital photograph “Light Bulb”, and Olivia Perry was acknowledged for her drawing and creative piece “Indorapter”. Art Teacher Carolyn Althoff proudly described of her art students, especially Amanda, “To be selected as one of the pieces displayed in the state capitol is a great honor. Amanda focuses on the details of life, and that parlays into her artwork.” Finneytown Local School District has an exceptional art staff who inspire students’ creativity, develop students’ skills for art careers, and encourage their crafts. It’s no wonder that Finneytown students rank in the top ten of students in area schools selected as regional winners. Furthermore, Finneytown was one of only 13 districts with a state selected recipient. Twenty-fi ve Finneytown High School students submitted their art, which was phenomenal for these awards. We are proud of the talent and creativity they put forth in their pieces. “I’m so proud of our art students and art department staff for their hard work which earned them this prestigious recognition. It’s clear every time you see our students’ artwork and enter our art classrooms that they are passionate about what they are creating, learning, and growing as artists everyday,” stated Dr. Jen Dinan, Secondary Campus Principal. The Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition, now in its forty-ninth year, is dedicated to the educational and artistic advancement of our talented young people in the state of Ohio.
