Narrative:

Cruising at FL350 south of cvg the right oil strainer clogging light and master caution light came on. The appropriate abnormal, normal and emergency checklists were accomplished while the right engine was shut down per the procedure. An emergency was declared and a normal single engine approach and landing was made to runway 18L at cvg. Supplemental information from acn 306261: the captain continued to fly while the first officer looked the abnormal up in the pilot handbook. We followed the procedures outlined. Requested a lower altitude. Found a suitable alternate (cvg). Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information from 307166: while flight crew was handling situation flight attendant coincidentally entered the cockpit and was briefed for the emergency landing -- 'no brace.' reporter stated that he had just completed recurrent in which cockpit resource management and cabin and cockpit coordination were emphasized -- he felt that everything flowed smoothly. Air/ground communication with company through phone patch and ACARS was accomplished. Diversion was well coordinated. Reporter commented that only real discomfort was with the 50-60 degree crosswind at 20-25 KTS. Landing uneventful. Maintenance pulled the DC9-30 screens which held only carbon particles (no metal). Engine was considered clean so flight crew ferried aircraft to main maintenance base on the following day. Engine sent to pratt and whitney for further analysis.
