    For many graduation isa time of pomp and cir-cumstance. For IndianHill High School and Cin-cinnati Country DaySchool it is also a time fortradition.

    Indian Hill High Schoolhas had its ceremony out-side on school grounds foras long as Principal Anto-nio Shelton can recall.

    In the last 10 years wehave had it inside onlyonce and that was becauseof inclement weather, hesaid.

    The Indian Hill HighSchool graduation will be8 p.m. Friday, May 29, atTomahawk Stadium at thehigh school.

    A highlight for Sheltonis just to see the kidscoming through the arborof the football stadium.He said its visually im-pressive with the boyswearing a red robe and thegirls wearing a whitegown and carrying a rose.

    We have an honorguard of the top juniors inthe class who escort theseniors to their seats,Shelton said.

    He said as part of theceremony there is an ex-change of leadership in-volving the current offi-cers of the senior classand the incoming seniors.This allows for the sen-iors to hand off the mantleto the officers of the un-derclass, he said.

    For Cincinnati CountryDay School, graduation isa chance to reflect onwhat the students have ac-complished.

    We speak about eachkid as they graduate, saidStephanie Luebbers, headof the upper school at Cin-cinnati Country DaySchool.

    Luebbers said that inearly May, faculty mem-bers send her informa-tion, usually five or sixlines of text, on the gradu-ating seniors which isthen read as they walk tothe podium to receivetheir diplomas.

    Luebbers, who readsthe submissions duringthe ceremony, said its notunusual for a student tosneak in a hug from her asthey walk past.

    (Graduation) is just asimportant to the faculty asthe kids and their family,

    Luebbers said. Its fun tosee how they have grownover the years they havebeen with us.

    The Cincinnati Coun-try Day School graduationceremony will be Friday,June 5, on the north lawnof the Cincinnati CountryDay School campus.

    Indian Hill High Schoolwill have 153 graduatesthis year. Cincinnati Coun-try Day School will have73 graduating seniors.

  • MAY 27, 2015 NORTHEAST SUBURBAN LIFE 7ANEWS

    When I was a young mother, my mom, Mary Nader,would try to teach me how to cook our traditionalLebanese food. I say try because it didnt come easyto me. Mom never measured - she said her handswere the best utensils. Ring a bell with any of you? I

    bet it does, especially when you makethose heirloom recipes handed downfor generations. And Im still learning.

    My dear friends, Joe and MarylouZarick, Mason readers, have had me intheir kitchen making Lebanese breadand sfeehah, bread stuffed with meatand seasonings.

    I can now say my Lebanese food isdelicious, and yes, I use my hands formeasuring and mixing. My familyloves the food, and laughs when I sayMoms was still better.

    One dish we make is our yogurt dip, with Laban/homemade yogurt, along with cucumber, mint andgarlic. Now making this dip with homemade yogurtresults in a pretty loose mixture, even when I strainthe yogurt overnight. I wanted to serve a thicker

    version of this in a Lebanese class I taught and KayHitzler came to the rescue.

    Kay, a West Side reader, and I have been cookingbuddies for years. We first met at Jungle Jims andimmediately connected when she was my sous chef.Kay is a skilled, compassionate nurse by day and apassionate, talented foodie by night. I cant tell youhow many good recipes she, along with her mom,Jean Shirley, have given me. Kays Tzatziki sauce isthe best. She has been sharing it with friends andfamily for years. It goes with so many summer dish-es, from salmon to chicken to crudits.

    Lebanese Festival at St. Anthony of PaduaSunday, June 14 from noon to 8 p.m.961-0120 StAnthonyofPaduaChurch.comEnjoy both the yogurt dip and hummus without

    lifting a finger. Stop by the Lebanese Mahrajan festi-val and enjoy the abundance of authentic homemadeLebanese food. Im getting hungry now just thinkingabout kibbee, shish kebabs, salads, breads, greenbeans with tomatoes, and, of course, all those sinfulpastries

    Middle Eastern fare gets dippyKay Hitzlers Tzatziki/yogurt cucumber dip

    You can buy Greek yogurt already strained. Greekyogurt is thicker than regular and contains more protein.The garlic and olive oil are good for your heart, the vitaminC in the lemon helps your immune system and helps detox-ify your liver, and the mint is high in fiber and good fordigestion.

    1 English or regular large cucumber, peeled if desired,seeded, shredded

    Salt1-1/2 cups whole milk Greek yogurt, strained1 clove garlic, minced or more to taste2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil1 tablespoon lemon juice1/4 cup chopped fresh mintSalt to taste

    Place cucumber in strainer over a bowl and sprinklewith a little salt and let stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile,place yogurt in a strainer and let drain for 15 minutes, thendiscard liquid. Squeeze the cucumber in a towel to removeas much liquid as possible. Mix everything together.

    Tip from Ritas kitchen: Remove seeds from cucumberCut in half longways and take a small spoon and run

    it down the center, scooping up seeds as you go.

    Ritas hummusI may as well go full tilt here and share another Mid-

    dle Eastern favorite. Its one of my most requested whichIve shared with you before. For Jennifer, an Eastside read-er. Store bought hummus is way too expensive, she said.Better than anything you can buy and a lot less costly. LittleEmerson, my granddaughter, loves hummus.If too thick,add a little water.

    1 can, 15 oz, chick peas, drained, rinsed and drained1 teaspoon minced garlicLemon juice, olive oil and Tahini (ground sesame seed

    paste) to taste - start with 3 tablespoons and gofrom there

    Salt to tasteCumin to taste start with a teaspoonWhole milk Greek yogurt to taste - start with 1/4 cup

    Mash chickpeas by hand or in food processor until ofdesired smoothness. Add everything else and mix.

    A publication of

    Much has been said of lateabout immigrants voting ille-gally in Ohio.

    As an immigrant, this in-terests me for a number ofreasons. Firstly, when I ar-rived here as a legal resident,my children were taught allabout no taxation withoutrepresentation.

    As I was paying all mytaxes, including local proper-ty taxes, I inquired if I couldvote for anything. I was askedif I was a US citizen. I an-swered no, and was told Icould not. End of story. WhenI became a U.S. citizen I wasgiven detailed information onhow to register to vote, anddid so, easily.

    So what is the moral here?Well, first we should be teach-ing our children no taxation

    without repre-sentationshould betaught withrather a largeasterisk afterit (i.e. Exceptresidents ofD.C. and legalforeign resi-dents) Sec-ondly, Mr.John Husted

    and every Board of Electionsin Ohio should be asking theright questions and check-ing the answers. The problemis not only that these peopleare voting we know it ishow they got on the votingroles in the first place. Some-one in a position to know bet-ter signed them up.

    However, apart from ques-

    tioning the competence of Mr.Husted to enforce existinglaws, we should be askingwhy he is not using resourcesto make voting easier, byopening more polling places,why he is not campaigningvociferously to end the ridicu-lous Gerrymandering in Ohioand why he is not trying tobring voting into the 21st Cen-tury in Ohio by investing infully electronic voting. In-stead he is zeroing in on aproblem that is, by compari-son, small, no matter howimportant. What about theseother issues?

    The answer of course liesin the politics. He is answer-ing to his masters in the GOPwho want to limit the votingpower of those who tradition-ally vote against them: minor-

    ities, immigrants, even stu-dents. If you doubt me, look atthe Gerrymandered map ofOhio (and the recent effort inTexas to disenfranchise stu-dents). In 2012, the GOP won12 of 16 Ohio seats in theHouse (or 75 percent), butgarnered only 52 percent ofall the votes cast. Is this De-mocracy? Where is Mr. Hus-teds outrage over this?

    I absolutely agree that oneillegal vote cast is one toomany. However, I deplore thegrandstanding and politics,which have seeped into aprocess that should be impar-tial. It is the states duty toensure that all legal votes arecounted and matter. Instead,we have a conscious effort tosideline those who do not votefor the GOP in Ohio and other

    states. I know Democrats playthe gerrymandering game aswell. It should be outlawed; Ithink most people wouldagree.

    Washington should reflectthe nation, and it does not:neither politically nor eco-nomically. It would refresh-ing and a sign of genuineleadership if Mr. Hustedtook the lead in electoralprocess, instead of being inthe humiliating position ofhenchman, responsible forthe application of party ideol-ogy.

    Changing the questions about illegal voting

    BruceHealeyCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

    It is time to wear my steeltoed boots. Some kicking isneeded. The most depressingthing loyal citizens shouldnotice is the absolute divisionof our country into voterswho are more loyal to theirpolitical party than to ourvery troubled nation.

    Loyalty to the Dumbocrator Repugnicant parties is notpatriotism.

    You dont have to be aneconomics major to see thatour dollar, while risingagainst worse currencies, islosing real value. The nation-al debt is out of control.There are two ways to bringit under control. The honestway is to create a budget thatactually reduces it. The otherway is to print money. Howmuch more does it cost toprint a million dollar bill thana one dollar bill?

    Countries that have fol-lowed the printing solutionhave all ended with nationaldisasters that have hurt thepoor disastrously. It is easierto blame some powerlessgroup than to fix the prob-lems.

    My next kick goes to thepoliticians. They retain of-fice by dividing the pop-ulation according to groupsthat they pander to. Theylure them like fish to a wormon a hook. Once caught theyare kept in increasing pover-

    ty by theeconomic ordivisive poli-tics that as-sures theirpersonalfailure andyokes themto falsepromises ofhope. Ournation isbeing divided

    into self serving factions thatweaken it for all citizens.

    Abraham Lincoln said, Ahouse divided against itselfcannot stand. Are we beingdivided for the greed of thepoliticians and the misin-formed public who seek spe-cial privileges and rights?Will the public decide thatcertain groups are not in thebest interests of the countryand persecution or worse willbe the lot of some minorities?Past history of the humanrace indicates that this is adangerous possibility.

    Equality is a great idea,but a fantasy. We are not allequal. President Lincoln said,All men are all born equal.What he didnt add was thatequality ends shortly afterbirth. Equality is the struggleto keep up. As society ad-vances the standards raise. Ifwe accept the challenge withall possible effort, we willimprove our standards, even

    if by differing amounts.So, another kick goes to

    those poorly advised peoplewho contend that equality isa given. No, it is a factor ofyour efforts! It is respectedwhen you become a part ofthe whole productive nation.It means joining your desiredlevel of society and itsnorms, not society changingto accept you.

    The next kick goes to ourpublic education system. Inthe inner city schools there isno effort to prepare thesechildren for the competitionthat awaits them after theyget handed a worthless diplo-ma. Added to this is the totallack of incentive for themany single mothers to seethat they improve their lives.But, there is more. Whatabout the useless collegedegrees that are given tograduates for unusable andpolitically correct and ineptcourses? All they have doneis create debt for the fam-ilies and wealth for peoplewith no moral values. Dum-bocrats and Repugnicantswise up and become Amer-icans again before it is toolate!

    May 20 questionWhat is the best senior class

    prank you can remember?

    I must really be old. Iwent to a very conservativepublic school. Cant recall anypranks that did not result inthe expulsion of some hood.My much younger brotherconsidered spiking the seniorclass play punch. Fortunately,his wiser friends kept himfrom that stunt.

    D.B.

    Cant say where and wontsay when, but by now thestatue of limitations has hope-fully expired. In my town oneof my classmates father was aprivate realtor and at his of-fice location he had a giant(20-foot-by-40-foot) hippopota-

    mus. One of my other class-mates father owned a con-struction company and he hadaccess to very large flat bedtrailers and rigging equip-ment. So naturally we feltcompelled to relocate the

    giant hippo to the roof of theschool. Sure wish it wouldhave been light enough to getsome photos.

    M.J.F.

    In the good old days sen-ior class pranks were an annu-al right of spring. Using cun-ning combined with geniuswas a prerequisite. The sup-posed day off school for thosewith a B or above averagewas a standard, not to mentionfree cafeteria lunches orpasses to the local moviedrive-in. The idea was to foolunderclassmen. But todaywith the social media thosedays are gone not to mentionthe consequences of doingsomething foolish. Go Fig-ure!

    Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

    When President Obamadeclared to the nation that hehad a phone and a pen, themessage was clear: if Con-gress didnt act as he wanted,he would act unilaterally.

    This built on his choicephrase from2011 of WeCant Wait,seeking tobypass Con-gress with alitany of exec-utive orders,recess ap-pointmentsand bureau-cratic rule-making.

    When hesaid he would act withoutCongress during last yearsState of the Union, my col-leagues across the aisle didntspeak up for the legislativebranchs role. Rather, mostDemocrats stood up and ap-plauded the executive branchtaking over their role.

    These elected members ofCongress were signaling totheir constituents that theyare fine with being irrelevant.

    Irrelevant representationis what happens when mem-bers of Americas most repre-sentative branch concedetheir elected role as the legis-lators in our government.

    The will of We the Peopleis diluted by every act to cir-cumvent Congress: executiveactions, regulatory decreesand discretionary enforce-ment.

    From rewriting immigra-tions laws to explicitly elbow-ing out the Senate from re-viewing a possible Iran treaty,this administration has stakedout a governing course con-trary to the Constitution.

    Even on supposedly in-dependent commissions, theObama agenda is being fol-lowed lock-step in his marcharound Congress. Last month,the Federal CommunicationsCommission passed a 317-page secret report to regulatethe Internet after PresidentObama indicated his support.This will have legal effectwithout a vote in Congress!

    When the public does no-

    tice in due time, these legalrewrites are sometimes re-versed. The Bureau of Alco-hol, Tobacco and Firearmsattempt to ban certain bulletsis a recent example. Theagency attempted to ban cer-tain bullets by simply omit-ting particular language in adraft regulatory framework.The public noticed, and theATF backed off.

    As elected officials, wetake an oath to uphold thelaws of the land. If a law isflawed or disliked, we have aprocess to change it legally.Until it is changed by thelegislative branch and signedby the president, it is the law,and it is to be upheld.

    Our time-tested Constitu-tional framework to separatepowers, with strong checksand balances, is in jeopardy.

    When our nation wasfounded, the ExecutiveBranch had only three depart-ments; State, War and Trea-sury. Today, its up to 15, not tomention various other agen-cies, administrations andcommissions.

    These executive bureau-cracies have authorities tocreate regulations and penal-ties that were never voted onby the citizens or their elect-ed representatives.

    One strong check Congresscan impose to rebalance exec-utive power is the REINS Act,short for Regulations fromthe Executive in Need ofScrutiny.

    The REINS Act would re-quire a congressional vote onany new federal regulationthat has an estimated nega-tive economic impact morethan $100 million

    This bill is an opportunityfor Congress to recoup someof its legislative authoritythat has drifted away.

    May our generation leave arestored legacy on the com-mitment to our founding prin-ciple: government doesntgrant power to the people,We the People must consentto be governed.

    SYCAMORE TOWNSHIP Shocking no one who followsprep tennis, the final Ohio Ten-nis Coaches Association pollhad Sycamore High Schoolsboys squad at the top of theheap.

    Its where they started andits their mission to finish num-ber one again.

    Just as sure as MemorialDay picnics and the Indy 500,the green and gold Aviatorsmake an annual late May trek toinvade the scarlet and gray ofOhio States tennis courts.

    Coach Mike Teets led Syca-more to another Greater MiamiConference title recently andthe Aves will go into the semi-finals of the Ohio Tennis Coach-es Association tournament un-defeated. Sycamore has wonthree of the last five GMCcrowns and 21 league champi-onships since 1990.

    In 2014, a day after the Divi-sion I individual tournament inColumbus, the Aves claimedthe state team title in Reynolds-burg. From that lineup, every-one returned except for Musta-fa Ahmad, who is now at OhioState.

    Over the years, Teets hashad no shortage of tennis talentat Sycamore and the Aves Bteam is often good enough to

    win other leagues. He finds ittough to measure the varioussquads hes had over the years.

    Its hard, Teets said. Theyall have different strengths andare different in depth. Its pret-ty difficult to compare them.

    With an unblemished recordnearing the end of the month,its safe to say the 2015 Aviatorshave been dominant. SeniorDeepak Indrakanti has been afirst singles player his wholecareer and was all-GMC firstteam.

    Hes had an elbow injurythats affected him, Teets said.Hes been very good, but weveactually held him out of somematches. Hes probably playedin two-thirds of the matches.Right now, hes feeling prettygood.

    Junior Alex Taylor in secondsingles and sophomore NoahStern in third singles were alsoall-GMC first team along withthe second doubles team of sen-ior Aditya Venkitarama andsophomore Regis Lious. Thefirst doubles team of seniorsNakul Narendran and Alex Wit-tenbaum was second team.

    KENWOOD TheGreater Catholic League-South leader in wins be-gan Moeller HighSchools 2015 spring base-ball run with a 7-0 no-hitwin against MiddletownMay 14.

    The Crusaders No. 1on the roster has alsobeen No. 1 on the mound.Against the Middies, sen-ior Grant Macciocchistruck out 15 as Moellergot out of the gate in style.Though dominant as ahigh school pitcher, it wasMacciocchis first gem.

    Ive been close, Mac-ciocchi said. Ive throwna lot of one-hitters, butthat was my first no-hit-ter. I was pacing my pitch-es real well and I was fo-cused.

    In the end, he threwjust 86 pitches and the 15Ks were a career-high.

    The Missouri committopped the GCL-South instrikeouts and had anearned run average un-der 1.00. At the plate,Macciocchi and seniorteammate Kyle Dockushave led the Crusaders inhitting with averagesabove .400.

    Though he has hitwhile pitching in the tour-nament and plays firstbase when not hurling,Macciocchi will keep his

    bat in the rack at Missou-ri.

    Im just pitching, hesaid. Its another level(of hitting) and my fu-tures in pitching. I wantto focus on that.

    Macciocchi is one of 10Division I commits on theCrusaders and has abrother, Brad, a redshirtsophomore at WrightState. Missouri was thelast team to offer theyounger Macciocchi.

    I think they first sawme at the Top ProspectGames with PBR (PrepBaseball Report) at theend of my sophomoreyear, Macciocchi said.

    The senior began hisMoeller career with threesophomore innings in2013. Last season, he hadtwo appearances and sev-en innings with 13 strike-outs, but then was in-jured. While squatting ina workout, Macciocchibroke a couple of ribs andhad to miss most of his ju-nior season.

    It was killing me lastyear not playing, Mac-ciocchi said. Its givenme extra motivation.

    Macciocchi and juniorNick Bennett (Louisvillecommit) have been theCrusaders one-twopunch. Senior MitchBault and juniors Camer-on Junker and Chris Stockhave also won multiplegames, while senior Joe

    Vranesic is trying to re-cover to his junior formafter an early injury.

    All of the Crusaders re-call falling short in thesemifinals last season atHuntington Park in Co-lumbus and are hungry toadd another trophy to themassive Moeller collec-tion.

    It was a terrible feel-ing last year, he said.We want to get backthere and get a ring.

    Macciocchi resides inWest Chester and is on theMidland Redskins rosterfor the summer. That maybe short-lived though ashe plans on heading toMissouri early to beginsummer classes. He feelshis resume of opponentsat Midland and Moellerhave prepared him wellfor Southeastern Confer-ence competition.

    Ive pitched againstsome of the top teams inthe nation, Macciocchisaid. It makes the bigstage a little easier to han-dle.

    On May 21, Macciocchiracked up his ninth win asthe Crusaders beat Fair-field in the Division I sec-tional final at Lebanon7-2. The win put Moellerin a district game May 23.Moeller won 6-0 and willplay Lakota West at 5p.m., Thursday, May 28, atthe University of Cincin-nati.

    We kind of like havinghim at doubles, Teetssaid. He can play singlesor doubles and do prettydarn well. Its nice to havehim at first doubles, hes areal anchor for us.

    Third singles playerStern has teamed withsenior Wittenbaum for asecond consecutive post-season, hoping to im-prove on last years re-sults.

    They lost in the firstround, but they went to athird set tiebreaker withthe eventual runner-upteam from (Toledo) St.Johns, Teets said.

    I couldnt ask formore than to have guyslike this to work with,Teets said. Their atti-tude and work ethic is all Icould ask for.

    ter in Sleepy Hollow, NewYork, the premier locationfor research on the historyof philanthropy and foun-dations in the UnitedStates.

    I want to tell the storyof how the large privatefoundations have shapedthe way Americans viewenvironmental groups aslegitimate and respect-able entities, said Gioielli,

    Rob Gioielli is follow-ing the money trail as heresearches funding for en-vironmental reform in theU.S.

    The assistant professorof history at UC Blue AshCollege specializes in en-

    vironmental history andwas one of 41 scholars na-tionally to earn a 2014Rockefeller Archive Cen-ter Grant. This allowedhim to spend a portion ofthis past summer at theRockefeller Archive Cen-

    who lives in PleasantRidge. These are not justsmall fringe groups fo-cused on a particularcause, but large organiza-tions with the support tomake a real impact,

    Gioielli notes that theFord Foundation was aleader in environmentalphilanthropy when itstarted to take hold in the1960s. Through funding

    and management exper-tise, Ford helped found orprofessionalize a numberof Americas most re-spected environmental or-ganizations, such as theNatural Resources De-fense Council and The Na-ture Conservancy, hesaid.

    Gioielli published thebook Environmental Ac-tivism and the Urban Cri-

    sis: Baltimore, St. Louis,Chicago, earlier this yearafter conducting researchon how environmentalcauses gained momentumin different cities acrossthe U.S. He thought a fo-cus on environmental phi-lanthropy was a logicalnext step.

    Its interesting to learn

    How did Ford Foundation help create environmental philanthropy?
