We began the tradition morethan a decade ago, and everyyear the stories continue to in-spire, and sometimes amuse.
This is our annual salute tomembers of the Class of 2015 -those graduating seniors with aunique story to tell. We call themour Grade A Graduates.
Rows of books line the wallsand shelves of the MariemontHigh School media center asnatural light floods the spacewith warmth and brightness.
Tables and study spaces stra-tegically dot the room, makingspace for small study groups orindividual learning.
This is the media centerknown to most students. How-ever, senior Lauren Tresterknows the space as so muchmore. Throughout her fouryears at Mariemont HighSchool, Trester has been muchlike the books and shelves foundin the space – a media center fix-ture.
“Lauren is an enthusiastichelper at our school library,” ac-cording to school counselorWendy Long. “She is very pas-sionate about media studies andspends many hours workingand lending a hand in the libraryas an extra support.”
“I just decided, this is goingto be my place,” Trester said. “Icame here after school to dothings. Then it morphed into aslight obsession.”
During study halls she wouldvisit the media center and dorandom things from checking inand out books and laptops, tohelping with the technology.With enthusiastic support of themedia specialists, Tresterfound her niche.
“Lauren is a big ball of ener-gy that pretty much does any-thing you point her at,” librarymedia specialist and technologyintegration specialist EmilyColpi said. “Her passion comesthrough and it makes every-thing better.”
When Trester first came intothe media center as a freshman,she had lots of energy and loveto give. Colpi said she also no-ticed that Trester was not a per-son who would fit into tradition-al leadership roles – just thekind of person she enjoyed help-ing.
With her energy and greatempathy, Trester took owner-ship of creating projects in themedia center. She always foundways to involve others and
make them feel good aboutthemselves, Colpi said.
Trester said whatever her“plot” (something she enjoyscalling her plans because itmakes them sound more devi-ous), she always focused on be-ing happy.
“If you’re not happy withwhat you do, what’s the point ofdoing it?” she asked. As she
works on maintaining her ownhappiness, Trestor also works tospread it among others.
“I kind of live by the motto ofbeing nice to everyone you canbecause you don’t know whatthey’re going through,” shesaid.
This has helped her to makefriends with students and teach-ers alike.
At school, Trester said she’snot as much about the lettergrades as she is the learning.She loves reading, especiallyfiction and historical biography.She enjoys science. She also hasa passion for musicals andplays.
“I’m just a really big musicalnerd,” she said smiling. “It’s agreat way to tell a story.”
It’s no surprise to learn thatshe’s the president of theschool’s book club, has been inthe school musicals all fouryears and plays for three years.
Yet, it’s the media centerthat’s clearly home. As part ofthe media center’s new Maker-Space, Trester said she workedwith other students to buildstuff. As graduation loomed,Trester and friends were work-ing on building a 3-D printer.
Decorating is also a specialinterest. In the media center,there’s an annual party nowknown as the outcast ball, Colpisaid. Trester and friends creat-ed and hung the decorations forthis event. During a day offfrom school before Halloween,Colpi said Trester led a wholegroup of students to decoratedoors as part of a school doordecorating contest.
Trester’s energy and enthu-siasm will be missed in the Ma-riemont High School media cen-ter but will likely benefit her asshe continues her educationaljourney. Trester plans to attendXavier University this fallwhere she will initially studyMontessori education and laterlibrary science.

Today really was a simple countrypleasures kind of day.
Son Shane brought his three girlsover and I took the two oldest ones,Eva, 7 and Emerson, almost 3, for awalk down to the East Fork river. Thegirls caught crawdads, tiny fish andscooped up lots of shells and othertreasures from the shallow water.
I didn’t realize so much time hadpassed by until Shane came walkingdown with baby Ellery in his arms.“Time for Emerson’s nap”, he said.
So we went back to the house and eventhough Shane didn’t stay for lunch I did have
all the makings ready for this simplepizza.
I was also going to photograph thegirls making the pizza for this column.But since that didn’t happen, I’ll share aphoto of the reason why: two little girlsenjoying, as I said, “simple country plea-sures.”

Kids can make easysunflower pizza
Sunflower pizzaThe little ones will love making this. Good even with just cheese.
1 can flaky biscuits, 10 oz.Pizza sauceMozzarellaOptional toppings: pepperoni, chopped bell peppers, mushrooms,
onions, etc.
Preheat oven to 400. Separate dough into 10 biscuits. Place 1 biscuit incenter of cookie sheet lined with foil and sprayed. Arrange remaining bis-cuits in circle, edges slightly overlapping, around center biscuit. Gently presswith your had into a 10-inch circle. This makes your sunflower. Spread a thinlayer of sauce on top. Sprinkle with your choice of toppings. End with top-ping of mozzarella. Bake 12-15 minutes. To serve, pull apart.
Mediterranean chicken with orange marmaladesauce
Lately I’ve been using thighs for this recipe. I promised this recipe to ayoung man whose name I don’t remember. He stopped to chat with me atthe store. Funny that I can’t remember his name but do remember veryclearly what he wanted, so here it is: a really good tasting, fairly easy, maindish for chicken.
4-6 boneless skinless breast halves or thighsSalt, pepper, flourOlive oil3/4 to 1 cup white wine3 tablespoons lemon juice1 heaping teaspoon minced garlic or more1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes or more1/4 cup thawed undiluted orange juiceUp to 1-1/2 cups orange marmalade
Salt and pepper chicken, Dredge in flour. Saute in oil, browning wellon both sides. Keep warm. Pour wine in pan and cook, stirring to bringbrown bits up. Add lemon juice, garlic, red pepper, and half of the orangejuice. Bring to boil and cook about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 cup marmalade andrest of orange juice.
Taste and add more marmalade if desired. Serve on bed of rice orcouscous with sauce poured over chicken.
Five minute no-cook pizza sauceGo to taste on the flavorings. Use a food processor or whisk by hand.
Thanks to the reader, who shared this recipe. “I like it because there’s nocooking involved”, she said. Freezes well.
Blend together:
15 oz. can tomato sauce6 oz. can tomato paste1-2 teaspoons minced garlic2-3 teaspoons dried oregano - start with 21-1/2 to 2 teaspoons dried basilOnion powder to taste - start with 3/4 teaspoon3/4 teaspoon sugar - this helps tone down some of the acid of the
tomatoes

leaders and residents do to curtailthe recent trends of gun-relatedcrimes in the city?
“Well it’s like the NRA al-ways says, ‘An armed society isa polite society,’ and right now Ithink that philosophy needs tobe put in place.
“Instead of doing the typicalmiddle of the road, liberal, ‘gunby back’ programs, I thinkcouncil needs to look to do a gundistribution program to all thecitizens of Cincinnati. I knowbackground checks are anathe-ma to the NRA and GOP, so I’dsay push those aside and figurea small segment of the popula-
tion may get guns that shouldn’thave them.
“However if we can arm therest of the citizens, they canthen be there to help curtail andeliminate these gun-relatedcrimes and criminal elements
that are on the loose. “Also with the All Star Game
coming up, this strategy willmake out of town folks feel saf-er, knowing that a large seg-ment of the population is carry-ing and ready to defend not onlytheir own God given rights butalso those of our out of townguests.”
C.S.
“Though stop and frisk got abad name in New York, it cer-tainly found a lot of non-lawabiding citizens with guns. Toemphasize our intent to enforcethe existing laws, there must beclearly understood conse-quences for anyone using a gunin the commission of a crime. I
believe it would be more cor-rect to refer to recent trends ofpeople-related crimes. Perhaps,there should be more activity onthe part of community mem-bers to control those people.”
D.B.
“It is time for the Cincinnatileaders to talk with past leaderswith proven records of reduc-ing murder rates, like perhapsthe guys in NYC that made suchdrastic changes in that murdercapital back in the ‘90s. Proba-bly best if they avoid chats withthe folks in Ferguson or Balti-more though. That was mostdefinitely not the way to go. Wecan do better, but we sure asheck better hurry up because
the summer is just going to gethotter.”
M.J.F.
“Cincinnati has now hiredtwo police chiefs from outsidethe city. The sad part is Cincin-nati had a qualified in-housecandidate better suited to thetask (assistant chief Paul Hum-phries). The first chief theyhired (Craig) could not pass theOhio State police exam and thesecond one has failed to passmuster (Blackwell). Maybe it istime to hire someone whoknows the city. That would bemy 90-day plan. Go figure!”

After years of receiving abronze medal from US Newsand World Report, Clark Mon-tessori has joined the list ofsilver medal public highschools.
Although most think therating indicates how good aschool is in educating its stu-dents, the formula US Newsand World Report uses sug-gests otherwise.
The first two steps in the USNews and World Report’s as-sessment:
» Does the school serve allits students well?
» Do economically disad-vantaged students performbetter than statistical expecta-tions?
Marta Donahoe asks, “Whywouldn’t students who attendschools in which there is anentrance exam be expected todo better than their statistical
counterparts?”Donahoe, co-founder ofClark Mon-tessori andexecutivedirector ofCincinnatiMontessoriSecondaryEducationProgram, says,“I would ex-
pect any school with studentswho test-in to qualify for theOlympics of High Schoolsbecause they are a school ofgood test-takers, even thoughthis highly-prized aspect hasnothing to do with success andhappiness in the real world.”National Association for Col-lege Admission Counseling,Defining Promise: OptionalStandardized Testing Policiesin American College and Uni-
versity Admissions, 2014 (nocorrelation between high SATor ACT scores and success incollege).
As the only truly integratedhigh school in Cincinnati withno test-in requirement, ClarkMontessori students tend toperform better than their sta-tistical expectations. Accord-ing to Donahoe, this is becausethe teachers, with help fromparents, create an infrastruc-ture for their students to besuccessful, hardworking andthoughtful.
The third step in the USNews and World Report as-sessment:
» Are the students college-ready?
US News and World Reportuses only data from advancedplacement courses. AlthoughAP courses are rigorous andcontent-driven, they rely
heavily on memorization. Col-lege-readiness cannot beachieved simply by taking anAP class. According to Dono-hoe, great high school teachersknow the most valuablecourses in a school are thosethat require the greatest skilland creativity on the part ofthe teacher.
“AP courses are fast-pacedto cover lots of content. Theydo not allow time for teachingin-depth, for calling on thecritical thinking of every stu-dent or for wrangling withideas and provocative issuesthat create the kind of soulfulcitizenry we are nurturing atClark Montessori.”
At Clark Montessori, collegereadiness is achieved by guid-ing students to be hard work-ers, thoughtful citizens andinspired and hopeful youngadults, who interact respectful-
ly and skillfully with personsof all ages and backgrounds.That is why all core classes atClark Montessori are honorslevel, giving teachers the op-portunity to cover the subjectin depth while still havingflexibility to respond to stu-dents’ interest and excitementin the topics being addressed.
Maria Montessori called forus to embody the notion chil-dren are the heirs to a progres-sion of the human spirit. Dona-hoe believes if Clark Mon-tessori students, parents andteachers can embrace thatidea, it will continue to preparestudents not only for college,but also for life.

Recently, I was surprisedat the number of Dayton resi-dents who brought their fam-ily to our much vaunted,beautiful Cincinnati Zoo.
This is not an inexpensiveundertaking for a family of
four. Howwould you likean opportuni-ty to keep thechildren fasci-nated andadults provid-ed with learn-ing opportuni-ties abouthistory, engi-neering andAmericanservice in theworld? If I
said that it would cost thegasoline required to drive toDayton, have free admission,free parking and free picnicfacilities and be impossible tototally view in one day, wouldI get your attention?
The National Museum ofthe Air Force, 1100 Spaatz St.(for your GPS), Dayton, Ohio,is just such a place. Thoughthe largest military aviationmuseum in the world, themany acres under roof andthe surrounding green spacealso have art exhibits, a Holo-caust exhibit, a Hall of Fame,and a Memorial Park for in-door and outdoor pleasures. Itis immense, but a quick plan-ning session at www.nation-almuseum.af.mil, can make
any trip (there will probablybe repeat visits) less over-whelming.
Oh, did I mention there arestrollers, wheelchairs, andpower carts available at nocharge in each gallery? From9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day,except three in the year, themuseum plans to be open. Onrainy days, days with no pic-nic, or moments of neededrefreshment, there is a fullservice cafeteria. With thecurrent construction of thenew, fourth building, certainexhibits areas may be re-stricted. This is another rea-son to check the website.
More than 550 volunteersreally enjoy the opportunityto make certain the more than1 million annual visitors havea good time. The Air Forceprovides for utilities andsecurity, and federal employ-ees create exhibits, restoreaircraft, manage the col-lection and plan educationaland entertaining specialevents.
The Air Force MuseumFoundation raises capital forMuseum expansion throughits cafe, theater, gift shop andeven flight simulators (yes,
you too, can go inverted).Over the years, the visits tothe “Friends” desk in themain lobby, have inspiredmany non military individ-uals and business sponsors tojoin the hundreds who proud-ly claim to be “Friends of theMuseum.”
Ohio pride in our manyattractions grows, when wesee the number of visitorsfrom every state and everycountry, who make this a“destination venue.” When Isee visitors in the galleries, Isometimes think that morepeople in Germany and Chinaare aware of this museumthan our own Tristate.
If you have further ques-tions or would like to bring anentire group to the museum,the website will provide thecontact numbers and therequirements. To my knowl-edge, no one has ever askedfor an admission refund, be-cause they thought the visitunfulfilling. Go East Side andenjoy!

Ohio pride in our many attractions grows,when we see the number of visitors fromevery state and country who make this a“destination venue.”
In the Cincinnati region, themonth of June tends to bringconsistent physical warmth.Many of us are blessed with
June alsobrings cele-brations forgraduates andmarriages.Kim and Iwere marriedin June a few
years back and it’s fun tospend time around that dateenjoying memories of the dayand those who shared it withus.
Having reminders of spe-cial events to cherish on aregular basis is important.That’s why many of us havefamily pictures and other re-minder items displayedthroughout the house. If you’relike me however, the frequen-cy of stopping to look at thosebeautiful reminders is notregular enough. Those framedimages are like the roses in thefamous “take time out to expe-rience” mantra.
A favorite saying is: tech-nology is a blessing and acurse. While posting Facebookmessages is not my thing, thememory-making and sharingthat this online service bringsduring graduation and wed-ding season is wonderful.Friends and family membershave provided wonderful tripsdown memory lane as theydiscuss graduations and wed-
dings of their children on Face-book, plus discuss weddinganniversaries.
Seeing the names, picturesand stories are prompts toreminders of earlier timeswith those folks (plus the ex-citement of what the futurewill hold for their children.)It’s wonderful they are puttingout the comments and picturesnow – hopefully not just forFacebook, but also in their“memory archives.” Captur-ing, organizing and sharingcherished graduation times instories, pictures, video and ourbrains is critical to havingfuture reminders of such spe-cial times in relationships.
Having some way of con-necting to family and friends isimportant.
Now, are you ready for alittle challenge? Before youput this paper down (or closethe browser if you’re readingthis on the Internet,) allowyourself a few minutes to wan-der around wherever you are,taking time out to experiencethe pictures and other knick-knacks in your midst, enjoyingthe memories (your “human-made flowers.”) Then…
Enjoy the day…and thememories!

COLUMBUS — Enter-ing the Division I statechampionship gameagainst Upper Arling-ton, St. Xavier had out-scored its opponents bya combined 68-11.
After the win againstMoeller in the regionalfinal, senior attackerJack Perez said theBombers like to startfast and preach that thegame is decided in thefirst five minutes.
Fortunately for theBombers, that wasn’tthe case as Upper Ar-lington scored the firstthree goals of the game.However, St. X foughtits way back to supplantthe defending statechampion 7-6.
Perez scored thegame-winning goal andgoalkeeper Alex Detersrecorded the final saveto clinch the victory.
“I’m just so proud ofthe boys,” St. Xaviercoach Nate Sprong said.“They’ve worked sohard for this, it wasn’tpretty, but they over-came it with sheer gritin the second half.”
St. X didn’t find theback of the cage untilJack Green scored thefirst of his four goals
with 1:23 left in the firstquarter.
With two seconds leftin the first frame,George Thurner cut theBombers’ deficit to 3-2.
In the second quar-ter, the Golden Bearsreclaimed the lead with
three goals. Greenscored his second of thegame.
At the half, UpperArlington led 6-3.
From there, it was allBombers as they scoredfour unanswered goalsin the second half, in-
cluding two more byGreen. His final goal ofthe game tied it.
“They were lockingoff on (William) Hol-comb and (David) Leis-ing,” said Green, thegame’s most valuableplayer on offense. “I
could take the shot allday or draw slides andpass it. It was goodstuff.”
Matthew Donnellyalso put one in the backof the net and Perezscored the eventualgame-winning goal.
“On man-up rushes,we always try to find a3-on-2 and I saw it onthe left wing,” Perezsaid. “I saw my man hadhis head turned awayfrom the ball, so I wentback-door, threw a fakeand luckily it went in.
“I had gotten stonedby the goalie earlier. Ineeded that one.”
That goal came withabout four minutes leftto play. It was up to thedefense to make itstand.
Upper Arlingtonplayed with more ur-gency and the game gota little chippy. Eventu-ally, the Golden Bearswound up with the finalpossession.
They maintained thatsame deliberate ap-proach that netted themsix goals but the finalshot wound up in De-ters’ webbing.
“In the second half,we played 24 minutes ofshutout lacrosse,” saidDeters, the game’s de-fensive most valuableplayer. “I felt theweight of the ball in mystick, saw there wasn’tmuch time left and Ihigh-tailed it out ofthere.
“It still hasn’t set inquite yet. Hopefully, itdoes soon.”

KeShawn Foley hadone reception in his four-year football career atBatavia High School.Just one, back freshmanyear.
Well, make that careertotal eight after June 11 –unofficially at least.
The former Bataviastar caught seven passesfor 149 yards and threetouchdowns to help leadthe East All-Stars to a 40-20 win against the Westin the 40th annual South-western Ohio FootballCoaches Association RonWoyan East-West All-Star football game,Thursday, at Kings HighSchool.
“I’m just having fun,”Foley said. “It’s an all-star game.”
Foley racked up morethan 100 touchdownspassing and rushing in astellar, three-time all-conference career at Ba-tavia … as a quarterback.
No receiving touch-downs. Thursday night,though, he lined up wideas a receiver more oftenthan not and looked like aseasoned vet.
“It was pretty easy,”said the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Foley, who addedthat he plans to playquarterback this fall atHocking College. “I loveplaying wide receiver.It’s like backyard foot-ball.”
Milford quarterbackDrew Ashcraft helpedmake it easy. Foley wason the receiving end of a36-yard pass from Ash-craft on the East’s firstpossession, setting up aRyan Wahler (Sycamore)touchdown reception.
Ashcraft found Foleyagain on the next posses-sion deep down the leftside for a 27-yard touch-down pass.
Withrow QB Tra’VonBarnes threw a 35-yardTD strike to Foley in thesecond quarter to put theEast up 19-6.
The East passing at-tack was on target allnight with receivers Fo-ley, Wahler, DoryanBeach (Withrow) andReid Finley (WalnutHills) consistently mak-ing great adjustmentswhile the ball was in theair. Wahler totaled 102yards on four catches.
Ashcraft, separatedby 223 days from his Mil-ford squad’s 2014 season-ending win against Love-land, looked in midsea-son form, completing 8of 14 passes for 183 yardsand the two touchdownsin the first quarter.
“It’s a good feeling,”Ashcraft said. “You missit a lot. You don’t reallyknow how much youmiss it until after youstrap on your pads thatlast time.”
He finished with 366passing yards and fivetouchdowns, both newall-star game records.
“It means a lot, actual-ly,” Ashcraft said. “Be-cause I’ve been working
my (butt) off trying toget to this game.”
Diving interceptionsby Asa Palmer (Wyo-ming) and Kiowa Whaley(North College Hill)helped the West defenseslow the East passinggame in the third quar-ter.
Mount Healthy run-ning back Hjavier Pittscashed in the Palmerpick with a 1-yard touch-down run to cut the def-icit to 19-12, but the Weststars could never get thelead.
Edgewood quarter-back Trace Reynoldsthrew touchdown passesto Pitts and Fred Riley(Fairfield) to lead theWest offense.
The East stars out-gained West 458 to 206 intotal yardage. T.J. Beach(Amelia) led the East de-fense with five tackles,two for loss.
The win marked theEast’s eighth in the lastnine years. The Eastleads the series 22-18.

Small Giantsreinforces the impor-tance of building a corpo-rate culture that revolvesaround honesty, respectand trust, both within theorganization and in theway customers are treat-ed.”
Walter said SmallGiants members have sixqualities in common:they care about leader-ship, community, rela-tionships, culture, pas-sion and profit.
Steele told the groupshe split from businesspartner a few years agoin order to pursue a dif-ferent vision for hercompany. In 2013, shelaunched Red Caffeine
Marketing and Technol-ogy in Lombard, Illinois.
“At first, I think myclients were surprised,”she said. “But throughtransparency and com-munication, we havebeen able to build a greatbusiness. We defined ourpurpose, mission, visionand core values right atthe start. By creating anexceptional work culture,we produce exceptionalwork for our clients.
“Small Giants is pow-erful because you canshare intimate detailsabout your business withother members and knowthey will support you.”
