My favorite cookie sheet isdecades old. It cost a lot less than
my restaurant qual-ity sheets which Ibought years later.When I use that oldcookie sheet, I findmyself smiling,remembering whenmy boys were littleand they shapedcookie dough intoworms, tanks andbugs to bake on it.That’s a piece of
equipment with a history.Whenever I have a speaking
engagement about food or family, Ilike to ask participants what their
most treasured kitchen item is. Itseems like just about everybodyhas a favorite utensil, pot, or gadg-et. “Mine is my mother’s sifter”,one lady said. Another mentionedrolling pans from grandma. Oneyoung person I mentored trea-sured his dad’s apron: “He worethat apron every time he cookeddinner on the grill. Now I wear it”,he said. So don’t get rid of that wellloved kitchen item when you re-place it with new. Pass it down tokeep the traditions and memoriesgoing.
Mike, a Clermont County read-er, needs a recipe for dairy freerolls that are suitable for diabetics.Here’s a good one. I baked these on
my old cookie sheet and theyturned out just fine.
Can you help?Great Scott’s chowder. Trish M.
remembers this chowder fondly.“Great Scott restaurant made thebest potato, corn and jalapenochowder. I've tried to duplicate itbut it's just not the same. I knowthey have closed but is there anychance you can get the recipe? Itwas one of our families favorites.”

Dairy free, egg free dinner rolls
Powdered creamer is used by more than a few bakers toachieve a nice tasting, dairy free, dinner roll. I was surprisedmyself at how well these turned out. They tasted as good asmy higher fat rolls. Nice alongside that Easter ham. Thesefreeze well after baking.
Diabetic exchange: The diabetic exchange is 1-1/2 starch,1/2 fat for each roll. You can make these by hand or machine.
1 tablespoon rapid rise yeast plus a couple pinches sugar2-1/4 cups warm water (110-115 degrees)1/3 cup sugar1/3 shortening1/4 cup powdered nondairy creamer2-1/4 teaspoons salt5-6 cups bread flour
Preheat oven to 350. Dissolve yeast and pinches of sugarin warm water. In a mixing bowl, add sugar, shortening, cream-er, salt and 5 cups flour. Add yeast and mix well on low speed.Turn to medium and beat until smooth. Add more flour ifnecessary to make a soft, but sticky dough. Either knead it for6-8 minutes by machine or by hand. If doing by hand, turn outon floured surface. Knead until smooth, like a baby’s bottom.Place in bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coattop. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punchdown and turn out onto lightly floured surface; divide into18-24 pieces. Shape each piece into a roll. Place 2” apart onsprayed baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, 30-45minutes. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until light golden brown.
Fruited chicken salad from Lazarus
I have a file of department store restaurant recipes. Ashappens occasionally, someone stopped me at the grocery andasked if I had a recipe for this particular one. Anyway, here’sthe recipe with my side notes, from the Columbus store, Ibelieve.
SaladMix together:
4 cups cooked chicken, cubed or chunked up8 oz. diced dates1 cup diced pineapple -- drained1 cup diced celery1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted if you want
DressingWhisk together:
2 cups Miracle Whip salad dressing1 teaspoon sugar1/4 cup evaporated milk2 tablespoons lemon juiceJuice from pineapple -- as needed
Pour dressing over salad and toss gently. This would benice served atop a lettuce leaf.

How would you like to go ona 10- to 12-day trip to Iceland orCosta Rica or YellowstoneNational Park?
If you were affiliated withGlendale’s Scout Troop 417,you could have gone and notonly had a wonderful time, butalso would have seen the mem-bers of that troop exhibit brav-ery, mental awareness andphysical strength and use sur-vival skills and earn their mer-it badge.
In a nutshell, these fineyoung men are all a Scoutshould be.
Each year the boys decidewhere they want to go, andthen work toward earning themoney it takes to get there. Itwas my pleasure to meet withthem again at their regularMonday night meeting. Scout-master Scott Morgan was set-ting up when I arrived. He hasbeen with the troop for 15years, beginning as a Cub-master because his sons wereCub Scouts.
Scott said Troop 417 hasbeen in existence since theearly part of the 20th Century.Harry Whiting Brown tookover the troop in the 1920s anddonated land for their meetingplace. Hiking five to 10 miles
on mountains inColorado hasearned themhiking meritbadges as wellas kept them fit.Summer andwinter camping,bowling, fishing,backpacking andsafe swim de-fense are justthe tip of theiceberg of all the
scouting activities. Scott’s son, Jake, is an Eagle
Scout and a senior at Princetonwho says he likes the new highschool building. A buddingfilmmaker, he plays the sax-ophone in the school band.Jake has produced a grandvideo of the troop’s Icelandtrip that you will enjoy. Theboys scuba dived and snor-keled in the 32-1/2 degree, su-per clear glacial water of Ice-land’s Silfra rift. Their goal isto get scuba diving certified.
Something unexpected hap-pens on every trip and theylearn how to survive and adapt.They must learn CPR and beFirst Aid trained.
Yellowstone was exciting.They first flew into Montanawhere Ralph Burchinal has a
ranch, did back country hikingin Yellowstone and stayed at acouple of other ranches ownedby Cincinnatians. They wentall over the state of Alaska,with the older scouts going intothe 400-mile Alaska Range forseven days with Jack Cook Sr.,who makes arrangements foractivities (sometimes on thespur of the moment).
In Seward the troop found aguy who took them up in ahelicopter. Last year CostaRica was the place to scubadive with sharks, go zip-lining,sail flat-bottom boats through amangrove forest and hike intothe interior rain forest.
April brings the beginningof the annual mulch sale thatteaches teamwork, strongwork ethics, customer serviceand other good business prac-tices. The high quality mulchcomes from Evans Landscap-ing and as always, is deliveredand spread for you at a pricethat is hard to beat. This suc-cessful endeavor was firstannounced in February 2004and continues to help fund thetrips.
The entire troop is collect-ing data for a film of theirhistory, current activities andtravels. Assisting are a local
filmmaker, a commercial pro-ducer from Dayton who helpededit and principals from theWexner Center for the Arts inColumbus. It’s hard to think ofany interest that the Scouts donot cover.
In Troop 417 a boy is boundto build character, developskills for a positive future and
find plenty of adventure. Adultleaders don't so badly, either.

It’s a bright late August day. Linesof students and their parents haveformed at the entrance to the neigh-borhood elementary school. All haverushed to the school to see the classlists for the new school year. Parentsare anxiously waiting to see who theirchild’s teacher is.
Students want to know who theirclassmates are.
These lists determine the schoolenvironment where children will livefor the ensuing 91⁄2 months. A potentiallifetime of memories as well as a sig-nificant impact on each child’s journeythrough school rests within this col-umn of names.
So, how are these classes formed?Who is responsible for their devel-oping them? Do parents and studentshave any influence on their composi-tion? Are test results and previousyear’s academic performance haveany bearing on placement? All arelegitimate questions laden with a myr-iad of answers.
Although August is a summer away,the formation of next year’s classes isunderway in many schools during thelast two months of the current schoolyear. With that in mind how are stu-dents placed into next year’s classes?
The ultimate responsibility forstudent placement lies with theschool’s building principal.
The principal considers staff input,parent requests, academic achieve-ment, the school’s demographics, in-structional teaching styles and schooltradition to arrive at the ultimate de-termination of the next year’s classes.
If there are only one or two classesper grade level in the local school,then students simply move forward tothe next grade. The only questionsregarding class composition involvestudent mobility and possible schoolstaff changes.
If the school has a looping or teamcomponent that involves a teacherfollowing the same class into the nextgrade level, then with few exceptionsthe class is established for the follow-ing year and grade level. On the other
hand student place-ment in schools withmultiple classroomsat each grade levelposes many complex-ities and protocolsthat may impact stu-dent placement.
As the currentschool year draws to aclose and the place-ment process begins,
the administrator might ask or evenrequire teachers to compose suggest-ed class groupings or suggestions forstudent placement. Very often thisinformation becomes the foundationfor classes the next school year.
In some schools, the administrationnot only asks for parent input butaccepts class requests. Sometimes thismeans a parent simply mentions thename of a teacher to the principal orsubmits their choice in writing. Usu-ally, a deadline date for requests isobserved so it’s necessary that parentsare aware of it.
Student enrollment into advancedand special programs is often con-tingent on test scores, grades, andteacher recommendations. Conse-quently, parents should become knowl-edgeable about program require-ments, expectations and entrancetimelines.
After the classes are establishedand lists published, the local admini-stration mayconsider changes, howev-er such alterations are the rare excep-tion and not the rule.
One of the most powerful acts aparent can exercise for a child’s edu-cation is to choose a child’s teacher orinfluence the choice made by theschool. The process begins early, soparents need to become familiar withthe school’s procedures for creatingclasses for the new school year as soonas possible.

March 11 questionA bill to allow cities to create open-con-
tainer districts much like those in New Or-leans or Memphis, Tennessee, appears likelyto pass the Ohio Legislature this year, and Cin-cinnati officials hope the bill becomes law byOpening Day, April 6. Is this a good idea or abad idea? Why or why not?
“I think it is a good idea if you want theopen container district to have the smell offresh urine, with the owners of establish-ments needing to basically hose down allaround their places each morning to elim-inate the odor.
“I think right now, there is enough op-portunity to drink, with enough bars, inclose enough proximity that a person cango from one bar to the next without having
to bring their alcohol with them. “I’m not against drinking, but I don’t
think anyone that has been down to anysporting event or into the OTR Vine Streetareas feel that not enough opportunities todrink are occurring.’

SHARONVILLE — For a longtime it seemed as if somethingwas always in Kevin Rainey’sway of running down a dream.Until now.
The Princeton High Schoolsenior won the school’s first-ever indoor track state cham-pionship. Rainey took the topspot in the 60 meter hurdlesMarch 7 at the Stiles AthleticsFieldhouse in Akron.
His time of 7.92 (actually7.915) is a personal best andmakes him the seventh-fastestrunner in his event in the coun-try, according to the DyestatElite 100 rankings.
Rainey’s title is not surpris-
ing amongst his teammatesand coaches. Although it ap-pears unprecedented from anoutside perspective. A formerbasketball player at Princeton,Rainey’s time on the courtmeant his running alwayswaited until the spring outdoorseason. He made the decisionthis year to focus primarily onrunning and it paid off. Thestate championship was justRainey’s third time competingat an indoor meet.
“This was only his third in-door meet,” said Princetoncoach Terrance Stallings. “Ithink the major thing with himis that he had an opportunity tocome and find out what indoorwas about. He’s bought in andhad a lot of success.”
Rainey’s been running sincehe was a freshman, and ac-cording to Stallings, Kevin’s a“really likable young man whoalways has a smile on his face.”
Stallings, who’s in his ninthyear at Princeton, knew Rai-ney was due at state.
“Everyone saw the poten-tial,” Stallings said. “I told him(at state) he would go 7.9. Iasked him at the end (if he be-lieved me). It’s pretty specialwhen you see a kid put thework in and it starts to cometrue.”
Stallings was right, not justabout predicting Rainey’s suc-cess, but realizing that all heneeded was more time to putinto the sport. Now, Rainey willrun his momentum right into
the Vikings’ outdoor springtrack season.
“Right now, he’s locked inespecially after the successhe’s just had,” said Stallings,who added Rainey will likelybe a four-event runner forPrinceton on the outdoor track.According to Stallings, Raineywill compete in 110/300 hurdlesas well as a couple relays.
Rainey won’t be alone inoutdoor; he wasn’t alone at theindoor state meet either. Histeammate, senior BrandonMullins finished sixth in thestate in the 800 meter run. Mul-lins will run and attend CokerCollege in South Carolina nextyear, Stallings said, addingRainey will likely run some-where in college.

By Roger Bacon standards, a13-12 season and district cham-pionship loss is a disappoint-ment. But, considering howmuch talent the squad will re-turn next season, the program isencouraged by the progress theinexperienced Spartans dis-played this season.
The Spartans won their sev-enth straight Greater CatholicLeague division title, despitefielding a roster of five newstarters and just one senior.Just three players with varsityexperience returned from a 22-win team that graduated eightseniors. Next year, the Spartanswill enjoy the opposite of thatmass exodus. Only guard MontyWebley will graduate, while therest of the Spartans will beback.
“It’s going to be hard to not beable to come back and play withthem,” said Webley. “The talentof this team was by far the bestit’s been in my four years here.”
The talented players whobroke out in their first varsityseason include sophomoresCraig McGee, Justin Johnson,and James Johnson. All threeforwards averaged double fig-ures in scoring and over four re-bounds per game this season.McGee also led the team in as-sists with 3.8 per contest.
The Spartans knew that theyhad the odds stacked againstthem this year. They ended theseason proud that they wereable to prove their doubterswrong and maintain the pro-gram’s tradition of recent GCLdominance. Next year, they willbe favored to stretch their titlestreak to eight seasons in a row.
“We knew we had a youngteam and that it was going to bea pretty tough season,” said We-bley. “A lot of people didn’t ex-pect us to win the GCL again.”
Rather than wondering howthey let this season end in thedistrict final loss to Northridge,the Spartans can look aheadwith optimism. They let a com-manding first half lead slipaway, falling 74-61. Losing agame they had in their graspjust four days after toughingout a 55-53 win over SummitCountry Day in the districtsemifinal was an appropriate

end to Roger Bacon’s season. They proved that they have
talent to compete with any Divi-sion III team in the area. Theyalso showed that they need an-other few months of seasoningbefore they can close out biggames with consistency. Theydefeated conference rival Pur-cell Marian in overtime earlierin the season, then lost to theCavaliers by 25 in their rematcha month later. They lost fivegames in a row down thestretch, then bounced back todefeat North College Hill bytwo in the regular season finale.
The Spartans will use experi-ence to their advantage nextseason. That experience cou-pled with the squad’s returningtalent should make Roger Ba-con a favorite to make a deeperpostseason run in 2016.
“It was an up-and-down sea-son, but that’s to be expected ofa young team,” said Webley.“Next year will be their year.”

DAYTON — Three months af-ter losing to Wilmington HighSchool by 15, the Moeller Cru-saders basketball team met upwith the Hurricane again in aDivision I district final at theUniversity of Dayton Arena.
At 17-8, coach Carl Kremerfound himself in the very un-usual situation of being a post-season underdog against the24-1 Hurricane.
Wilmington, featuring sen-ior Jaevin Cumberland and ju-nior Jarron Cumberland, tookthe first quarter lead 12-11.However, the Moeller defenseshut them down in the secondquarter, holding them to justone basket as the Crusadersled 19-14 at the break.
“We have incredibly goodassistant coaches,” Kremersaid. “People have a tough timegetting easy looks off of us.”
The third stanza saw Wil-mington break out of theirscoring slump to tie Moeller at27, but Jaevin Cumberland didpick up his fourth foul, limitinghis involvement until the finalframe.
The pace picked up in thefourth quarter with Moeller ju-nior Trey McBride using hisunique leaping ability for a keytip dunk and a put-back thatgave Moeller a lead the Hurri-cane could never overcome.Jarron Cumberland did scorewith :27 to go to get within abasket, but Nate Georgetonadded a free throw late to makefor the 46-43 final in favor ofthe Crusaders.
“We really got hit in themouth in the third quarter,”Kremer said. “Nate Georgetonand Riley Voss really madesome incredible experiencedplayer plays for us.”
Georgeton was able to drib-ble around and make it to thecharity stripe where he madeseven of eight on the night.Voss was part of the defensiveeffort that limited Wilmingtonto just 27 percent shooting.
“They certainly didn’t shootit as well as they did at theirplace,” Kremer observed.
Trey McBride led Moellerwith 14 points and 12 rebounds,while Jarron Cumberland had23 points and 10 boards for Wil-mington. McBride’s sky-walk-ing tip-dunk midway through
the fourth quarter was the keymomentum shifter for the Cru-saders. The 6-foot McBridesoared over players 5 inchestaller.
“He jumps like an Olympichigh jumper,” Kremer said.“He’s just a phenomenal ath-lete. What makes him great ishe is unpredictable. Treywants to win and he leaves it allout on the floor.”
The Crusaders move to theregional semifinal at CintasCenter on Wednesday againstSpringfield, who defeated La
Salle 54-41. Moeller also previ-ously lost to Springfield, 74-72in overtime Jan. 3.
“The one thing at Moeller isyou don’t get the opportunity toplay as the underdog very of-ten,” Kremer said.
The Crusaders have gonefrom having five new startersand last year’s center, NateFowler, out for the season todistrict champions. When theytake the floor at Xavier March18, they’ll be two wins awayfrom a state tournament ap-pearance.
