Jake Robinson began his profession-al television acting odyssey with sup-porting roles on Carrie Diaries,SMASH and an HBO pilot, Left-overs.

Robinson said the 16-episode role onCarrie Diaries was his breakout role.While shooting Leftovers for HBO, hesigned for a lead role in the new NBC se-ries American Odyssey. The seriespremiered Easter Sunday at 10 p.m.

Odyssey is really my first whereIm one of the faces of the show, Rob-inson said.

The NBC network production sets abigger stage for Robinsons first leadrole. He plays Harrison Walters, one ofthree faces of the show. Anna Friel asSgt. Odelle Ballard and Peter Facinellias Peter Decker are the other two. It isnot about becoming a famous star, but itis exciting for the Loveland native.

Humbled by the opportunity, hehopes to do good work with good stories.This role offers him the chance to havemore say about what happens and to putmore of himself into the project.

Its been an absolute pleasure towork on American Odyssey and to beable to put my stamp on it as an actor,Robinson said.

Robinson was there at the start. Hehad early conversations with the cre-ators and writers about who his charac-ter would be and what the project wouldentail. Throughout the process he waskept more informed. That translatedinto more leeway to help shape Harri-son whether collaborating with writersor talking to the creator about particu-lar scenes.

It was really fun to work in thatway, he said. There are a lot of peoplethat go into creating it. To have a piecein that, I was really honored to be able todo that.

At least one of the three main cre-ators, Adam Armus, Kay Foster or Pe-ter Horton, was always on set. Theywere available to talk any time, theywere great support. There was a con-stant dialogue about what was best forthe show and character. All 13 episodeswere completed and the show airs Sun-day nights at 10 p.m. EDT on NBC. Rob-inson said it was fun, but it was work.

I think I have the most fun in thewhole world doing my job, Robinsonsaid. Im incredibly blessed in thatway.

As Harrison Walters, Robinson mustbring to life the emotional, intense dra-ma of seeking the truth in a tangled webof global politics, military secrets, andcorporate espionage. Showing up on setready to deliver those intense emotionsrequires a lot of preparation.

It was more fulfilling, he said. Ilearned more as an actor than I have onother projects.

Absorbing vast amounts of materialto work with every day was his toughestchallenge. The situations Harrisonfaces gain more intensity throughoutthe series taking him to some darkerplaces. Intense darkness is not routinefor the peaceful fun-loving Robinson.

That was definitely another bigchallenge, Robinson said. I learned alot about myself and I learned a lotabout Harrison through that journey.

His acting teacher even says helikes to live in the light. Robinson hadto find that dark side for the scenewhere Harrison had to eulogize his fa-ther. That day took about eight hoursjust shooting him delivering thatspeech. The relationship with his ownparents, John and Elizabeth Robinson,is the exact opposite of his character in

the series. Great writing for the serieshelps him find the dark side and bringHarrison to life for viewers.

Working with Anna Friel and PeterFacinelli has been a big influence forRobinson. He talks with Friel at leastonce a week. He and Facinelli shotscenes in New York, including scenesthat bring their characters together lat-er. Not just them, Robinson praises thewhole supporting cast. He said DaniellaPineda and Nate Mooney who play Ru-by Simms and Bob Offer also inspireand push him to a higher level.

I was probably the greenest actoron set, Robinson said. Anytime youcan learn from actors like that on set.For me its a constant learning process.Im still trying to get better. Im still inacting class. For me it never ends.

It didnt end with the final take of the

The changes in downtown Lovelandare easy to spot while driving in from thesouth. What was once open space is nowfilled with frames of buildings, construc-tion equipment and workers.

I miss the view of Old Lovelandfrom Broadway Street, turning downhillfrom Hanna. Loveland is growing, resi-dent Killian Pfarr wrote in a letter.

She expressed her concerns abouttraffic congestion in downtown Love-land due to the addition of Loveland Sta-tion Apartments and the senior housingdevelopment.

As it is already, at certain hours inthe week the problem of slow trafficcrawling from West Loveland to EastLoveland Avenue is not uncommon. Andit seems we have no viable solutions:theres just no space to make accommo-dations, Pfarr wrote in her letter

City Manager Dave Kennedy said thedowntown is a victim of its own location,with only one bridge coming in fromLoveland-Madeira Road and I-275.

There is no magic bridge that is go-ing to be added or road that is going to bewidened, but there will be additionalparking and there will be less construc-tion going on, Kennedy said.

He said that by this time next year,there will be 250 more public parkingspaces in downtown, with 125 at Love-land Station and 125 at the McCoy park-ing area near Loveland Canoe and Kay-ak.

That is going to help. It doesnt solvethe congestion and Im not going to try toadmit that the congestion is ever going togo away. It is what it is, Kennedy said.

Kennedy admitted the problem willget worse before it gets better. While thesenior housing project is almost fin-ished, Loveland Station construction willcontinue through December and twonew projects will start soon.

Nine high school stu-dents took part in a Love-land City Schools pro-gram hoping to inspire acall to public service.

April 28 was StudentGovernment Night atLoveland City Council,when seniors from Love-land High School stood infor every member ofcouncil and two membersof staff.

This program hasbeen a tremendous learn-

ing opportunity for Love-land High School studentsfor a long time. It is agreat opportunity to learnabout local governmentand my governmentteachers heart hopes itwill one day aspires themto public service, saidDavid Volkman, a govern-ment teacher at LovelandHigh School.

Volkman said it isabout the 40th year of theprogram. Hewas unableto pinpoint exactly whenit started.

It is one of the mostunique experiences thatwe, as seniors, can partici-pate in. It is completelydifferent even from stu-dent government atschool, said MeredithMontalbano, who wasstanding in for City Man-

ager Dave Kennedy.Volkman said the stu-

dents are chosen based ontheir leadership qualitiesin the classroom, athleticsand clubs at the highschool.

I say this every year, Ilook forward to the year agraduate of this programgets elected in Loveland.Several are in public ser-vice elsewhere, but I amstill waiting for that onehere, Volkman said.

Art Kumthekar, a Ma-son High School junior,talked to council about hisorganization Safe TeenDriving, which he startedwith other Mason stu-dents.

There are about 1,100driving accidents do todistracted driving on theroads in the U.S. every

day. I encourage people totake the pledge to nexttext and drive. I have heldseveral awareness eventsaround Ohio, Kumthekarsaid.

He added he startedthe organization after afriend died in a distracteddriving accident. He saidtexting and driving makessomeone 23 times morelikely to be involved in anaccident, and eight peopledie every day.

Zack Kadish, who wasstanding in for Mayor Lin-da Cox, encouraged ev-eryone to take the pledgeon Kuthemkars website,www.safeteendriving.us.

Police Chief Tim Sa-bransky echoed the im-portance of raisingawareness about distract-ed driving because laws to

prohibit texting whiledriving are difficult to en-force since they are notprimary offenses.

The very few cita-tions we have actuallywritten are for someonehas come after an acci-dent. We need to keep ourdrivers safe and every-

body else on the road aswell, Sabransky said.

Click It or Ticketcampaign

The Loveland PoliceDivision continues itspartnership with the OhioDepartment of PublicSafety and the National

Highway Traffic SafetyAdministration to reduceinjuries in crashes.NHTSA lists seat belts asthe single most effectivepiece of safety equipmentin a vehicle.

The national and state2015 Click It or Ticketcampaign will encourageevery driver and passen-ger to buckle up. The mo-bilization period isthrough May 31. To helpthe campaign, law en-forcement agencies

across Ohio will increaseseat belt enforcementduring the mobilizationperiod.

Officers will continueenforcing the law yearround when violators arediscovered not wearingtheir seat belt.

According to NHTSA,in 2013 seat belts savedmore than 12,000 peoplefrom dying. From 2009 to2013 seat belts saved near-ly 63,000 lives. The nation-al seat belt use rate is at 87percent.

In 2013, there were9,580 unbuckled passen-ger vehicle occupantskilled in crashes in theUnited States. In 2013,nearly half of the motorvehicle occupants whodied in crashes were unre-strained. Among youngadults 18 to 34 years oldkilled in crashes, 61 per-cent were completely un-restrained the highestpercentage of all agegroups.

BRIEFLY

I think the factor thatis going to make the con-gestion really tight iswhen the relocation of allthe utility lines begins onJune 1, Kennedy said.

All the power lines sur-rounding Loveland Sta-tion will be buried and thepoles will be removed.Also as part of LovelandStation, the downtown willbecome a quiet zone sotrains will not have to blowtheir horns.

Kennedy said the pro-ject involves adding armsand barriers at each of therailway crossings.

Pfarr wrote in her let-ter about a possible uptickin congestion because ofthe new residents who willcome with the develop-ments.

Loveland Station willhave 94 apartments, most-ly one- and two-bedroomswith a few three-bed-rooms.

The senior housing de-velopment will have 40-units, 30 of which are two-bedroom.

Kennedy said there will

be an increase in popula-tion density but itshouldnt make the con-gestion worse.

The 125 public spacesin Loveland Station are inaddition to the spaces thatwill be there for residentsand businesses. If you livein these apartments youare in walking distanceand will not be getting intoyour car are a lot of ameni-ties. You are going to hope-fully see the residentswalking, Kennedy said.

He added the city hasplans in the works to de-crease the congestion.The city is working on get-ting wayfinding signs, anidea that come out of theDowntown Parking Advi-sory Committee, to helpdirect people to designat-ed parking areas.

Cincinnati Hills ChristianAcademy

More than 25 students onthe CHCA high school roboticsteam, known as the BeakSquad, returned from winningbig at the 2015 FIRST Champi-onship in St. Louis.

More than 18,000 studentsfrom around the globe traveledto St. Louis to put their engi-neering skills to the test.

Each January, FIRST kicksoff the competition season witha new game to be played atregional competitions aroundthe world. In this years recy-cling-themed game, RecycleRush, FRC teams take to thefield, where competing Alli-ances score points by stackingtotes on scoring platforms,capping those stacks with re-cycling containers, and proper-ly disposing of pool noodles,representing litter.

All game pieces used arereusable or recyclable byteams in their home locationsor by FIRST at the end of theseason.

CHCAs Beak Squad notonly made it to the semi-finals(top four) in their division atWorlds, they also won 1st Placein the 2015 FedEx InnovationChallenge, for which they re-ceived a $15,000 grant fromFedEx.

The team used their prob-lem-solving skills to answerseven tough challenges, andincorporated a high level ofteam spirit and creativity toinnovate unique ways of shar-ing the answers. Everyone onour team was an integral partto our success, shared teammember Zachary Gunlock, asophomore at CHCA.

FIRST is inspiring the nextgeneration to view STEMthrough a new lens and demon-strating an innovative way tolearning and making it fun.These young adults are pas-sionate about the STEM fieldand it has been inspiring to seethe next generation build andcollaborate among their teamsand with others while increas-ing their confidence as youngadults, said Cisco Sanchez,vice president of informationtechnology, FedEx Services.

This year, the Beak Squadhas also competed in severalother local and regional com-petitions, including the CentralIllinois Regional competition,where they won the IndustrialDesign Award sponsored byGeneral Motors.

Students at CHCA workalongside professional engi-neers from local companies,including Intelligrated andProctor & Gamble. As mentors,the engineers volunteer theirtime to assist the students indesigning and building a robot,as well as travel with them tovarious competitions. Studentswork with hundreds of compo-nents, including program-mable radio controllers, mo-tors, electrical circuitry andmechanical parts, to build andprogram their robot for thecompetition. The teams havesix weeks to build a robot be-fore entering a competition.

CHCA faculty member LuTaylor attends all events.

Im so extremely proud ofthis team. From the IndustrialDesign Award to the FedExInnovation Challenge AwardThey are delivering innovationin science, technology, andengineering with excellence,while exhibiting gracious pro-fessionalism and unparalleledteamwork.

Currently sitting at 10 th inthe state, the Beak Squadsseason is not yet over. On May12, they presented to the OhioBoard of Education, playing akey role in efforts to get fund-ing for FIRST in Ohio. They

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

U.S. Sen. Rob Portman hasconsistently supported freetrade agreements and is a bitof an expert on the subject.

When Sen. Mike Lee ofUtah recently visited theQueen City, he remarked thatRob is looked to and respect-ed on the subject by his Sen-ate colleagues, which makessense considering Portmansservice as U.S. trade repre-sentative under George W.Bush.

Recently however, Ohiossenator has received signifi-cant backlash over his bipar-tisan currency amendment tothe Trans-Pacific Partnership.Opponents say it would killthe bill. I disagree.

I am as pro-trade as any-one, but when it comes totrade, we must insist that allcountries are made to play by

the rules. Canyou imaginethe Reds play-ing a baseballgame wherethe opposingteams foulballs werecounted asfair and theirsingles werecounted asdoubles? As

ludicrous as that might sound,this is what weve been expe-riencing as a country for thelast 15 years when it comes tothe import/export game.

Unfortunately, it is not agame. The trade discrepancyhas cost Ohio hundreds ofthousands of jobs and putdomestic manufacturing onthe list of endangered spe-cies. In my opinion, this ad-

ministration has only added tothe problem with more newtaxes and excessive EPA reg-ulations right here at home.

Portmans currency plan,which is co-authored by Sen.Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.),would establish enforceablerules if any of the 12 nationsartificially manipulated theircurrency rate. For those notaware, when a country in-tentionally devalues theircurrency, their products natu-rally become less expensiveto export, thus giving them anadvantage in the global mar-ketplace over competitorslike the U.S. (they are able tosell more and reap the bene-fit).

More than 20 countrieshave spent approximately $1trillion annually buying dol-lar-denominated foreign as-

sets to boost the value of ourU.S. dollar and artificiallysuppress the value of theirown currency. This intention-al and unchecked manipula-tion has been a major cause ofAmericas trade deficit overthe past two decades. Many ofthe guilty parties also benefitfrom illegal trade subsidies,non-existent environmentalregulations, and egregioushuman rights violations.

As the senator put it, Weneed balanced trade, we needmore exports and we need alevel playing field. I agree onall points. According to theEconomic Policy Institute,roughly 150,000 jobs would becreated in Ohio alone if thecurrency issue is addressed.

Nobody wants a tradewar and I am certainly not aproponent of sweeping pro-

tectionism that would seeconsumer prices skyrockethere at home, but it is timethe United States showed alittle backbone. In my ownbusiness experience runninga national distribution andprocurement group, I havedealt with Chinese manu-facturers and found that theyrespect and understandstrength. I appreciate SenatorPortman flexing some musclefor Ohios manufacturers onthis important issue.

Hindsight is always easierthan being proactive tochange our lifestyle.

In a recent article, ThingsI Wish Id Known When I WasYounger, Dr. Nancy Leefrom the Office on WomensHealth, U.S. Department ofHealth/Human Services,shares her advice for womento achieve a healthier life-style. With my 57th birthdaya few days away, her tips areespecially relevant, and Iwanted to share a few, fol-lowed by my own failures,successes and plans to alignwith her advice.

Be in love with workingout. Dr. Lee emphasizes thatexercise is key to a healthier,happier life. - I was an avidfitness buff in my 20s and30s, but life demands pushedexercise down the pole ofpriorities. Hmmm. I gottare-think that one.

Protect yourself from thesun. Now that Im 57, I realizethat damage from the suncatches up. The dermatol-ogist recently asked me whatSPF I use, and I told her any-thing from 6 to 55. She agreedwith 55. Wish I believed thiswhen I was younger, and Igotta work on that one.

Walk your miles in com-fortable shoes. In her 20s, Dr.Lee realized that high heelsand pinching shoes hurt! She

advises thiscan causeserious prob-lems later. At57, I fail mis-erably. I likehigh heels! Iwill be forcedto think aboutthis - some-day.

Let it go.In her 30s,

Dr. Lee realized the impor-tance of this and paying at-tention to your mental health.Anger, jealousy or not meet-ing another persons expecta-tions or judgments can eatyou alive if you dont let it go.I am pretty good at this.

Eat well. In her 30s, Dr.Lee knew that if you want tohave more energy, feelstrong, lower your risk ofillness and disease and bearound to see your kids growup, eating healthy is impor-tant. Ive been vegetariansince high school, dont carefor chocolate or sweets, butput chips and salsa in front ofme, and I will want to eat likeIm in my 30s. I still need towork on that.

Dont sweat the smallstuff. Dr. Lee believes werein our 40s before we startbeing comfortable in theworld. My friend, Bill Over,said, Stop pickin s*** with

the chickens. So, stop worry-ing about the little stuff andfocus on what is most mean-ingful. My husband will nev-er believe that I will work onthis.

Be kind to yourself. Dr.Lee challenges us to assess ifwe are too tough on our-selves. We have layers ofcommitments that we juggle.To do this, I may be jugglingmany things, but I know Icant juggle everything.

Its never too late to makegood choices. Dr. Lee sharesthat she still hasnt learned toget enough sleep. No oneescapes aging. But, life isabout process, and its nevertoo early or late to work to-ward a healthier life.

Clermont Senior Servicesoffers many programs whereyou can make healthierchoices. Click Services, thenLifelong Learning atwww.clermontseniors.com.There are a gambit of activ-ities, Healthy U, Tai Chi, Yo-ga, Strength/Balance, AquaZumba and Arthritis Exer-cise. Hmmmm. Maybe Ishould attend!

May 20 questionWhat is the best senior class

prank you can remember?

Cant say where and wontsay when, but by now thestatue of limitations has hope-fully expired. In my town oneof my classmates father wasa private realtor and at hisoffice location he had a giant(20-foot-by-40-foot) hippopota-mus.A classmates fatherowned a construction compa-ny and he had access to verylarge flat bed trailers andrigging equipment. So natu-rally we felt compelled torelocate the giant hippo to the

roof of the school. Sure wish itwould have been light enoughto get some photos.

M.J.F.

In the good old dayssenior class pranks were anannual right of spring. Usingcunning combined with ge-nius was a prerequisite. Thesupposed day off school forthose with a B or above aver-age was a standard, not tomention free cafeterialunches or passes to the localmovie drive-in. The idea wasto fool underclassmen. Buttoday with the social mediathose days are gone not tomention the consequences ofdoing something foolish.

THIS WEEKSQUESTIONWhat memories do you have ofprevious All-Star Games inCincinnati (or other cities)?What has baseball meant toyou; what does it mean to younow?

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

Businesses in our commu-nity and across our state takepride in our ability to develop,produce and sell industry-leading products around theworld.

Our over-seas compet-itors knowthis, and theirgovernmentsare working toprovide gener-ous support tohelp their ownbusinessesgain an edgeover Amer-ican compa-nies. While

support for foreign compa-nies is increasing and tippingthe scales in their favor, thereare some in Congress workingto kill the Export-Import (Ex-Im) Bank, an agency thatbalances the playing field forAmerican exporters.

Since the 1930s, the Ex-ImBank has offered export cred-it financing to U.S. exporterswhen the private sector isunable or unwilling to financeexport deals, helping U.S.manufacturers reach theircustomers in markets abroad.

By offering this financing,the Ex-Im Bank opens thedoor to international marketsfor American exporters andhelps thousands of Americanbusinesses grow jobs andinvestment here at home. Italso does this while returningmoney to the U.S. govern-ment. In fact, the Bank re-turned $675 million to the U.S.Treasury last year alone.

At Cold Jet LLC, we manu-facture dry ice productionand cleaning systems that areexported across the world.Since our founding in 1986, wehave grown from 25 employ-ees at a single facility to morethan 150 direct employeeswith two production facilitiesin Loveland and Milford, andoperations in nearly dozenother countries.

Although we do not rely onEx-Im financing, the Ex-ImBank has helped us reach ouroverseas customers as recent-

ly as last year.Our case is not unique in

Ohio. The Ex-Im Bank hashelped 347 Ohio companieslike ours send products toforeign buyers since 2007.These businesses have sent $3billion worth of exportsaround the world and support-ed roughly 18,000 jobs acrossour state during the sametime period.

Like ours, these businessescompete in a global market-place where nearly all devel-oped nations and the vastmajority of our largest trad-ing partners have exportcredit agencies that providetheir domestic industries withexport support.

Even still, a vocal minorityin Congress argues that weshould let the Ex-Im Bankscharter expire and stop pro-viding export financing toU.S. exporters who are unableto secure financing from pri-vate sector lenders. If thesefew have their way, the busi-nesses that currently dependon Ex-Im financing in Ohioand across the U.S. are at therisk of losing deals to over-seas competitors on the termsof their financing, not thequality of their products.

Closing the Bank shuts thedoor to opportunities in mar-kets all over the world andunnecessarily inhibits Amer-ican businesses.

On the other hand, passinga multi-year reauthorizationof the Ex-Im Bank is a long-term commitment to ensuringthe competitiveness and suc-cess of American businesseslike ours that have used thisfinancing to compete abroad.

I urge my representative,Congressman Brad Wenstrup,and all of the Ohio delegationin Congress to commit to thefuture success of our localbusinesses and their employ-ees and work to reauthorizethe Ex-Im Bank before itscharter expires this June.

Gene Cooke is president and CEO,Cold Jet LLC, Miami Township.

LOVELAND With arguably one of themore talented squads in local prep cir-cles, Loveland High Schools Tigerswere the last baseball team standingfrom the Eastern Cincinnati Conferencethis spring.

League champion Milford fell in asecond round game with Hamilton andthe Tigers took out second-place finisherGlen Este in a showdown May 14. The Ti-

gers jumped on Trojans ace EvanMoores early and went on to win 8-4.

We had good at-bats againstMoores, Reed said. Hes an extremelygood high school pitcher. Hes going tohave a great career at Wright State.

Josh Meszaros belted a two-run hom-er in the game and went on to lead Love-land in hitting in his final campaign.

I cant be happier with his progres-sion during the second half of the year,Reed said. I think guys in our confer-ence know him. In the second half, hes

been over .500. Hes been killing theball.

The victory over Glen Este put Love-land against Mason May 21. Unfortu-nately for the Tigers, they ran into a hotpitcher in Rodney Hutchison, whopicked up his eighth win with the com-plete game shutout.

It was only Lovelands second loss inthe month of May and their final recordwas 23-7. The Tigers were seven wins

KENWOOD The Greater CatholicLeague-South leader in wins beganMoeller High Schools 2015 springbaseball run with a 7-0 no-hit winagainst Middletown May 14.

The Crusaders No. 1 on the rosterhas also been No. 1 on the mound.Against the Middies, senior GrantMacciocchi struck out 15 as Moellergot out of the gate in style. Thoughdominant as a high school pitcher, itwas Macciocchis first gem.

Ive been close, Macciocchi said.Ive thrown a lot of one-hitters, butthat was my first no-hitter. I was pac-ing my pitches real well and I was fo-cused.

In the end, he threw just 86 pitchesand the 15 Ks were a career-high.

The Missouri commit topped theGCL-South in strikeouts and had anearned run average under 1.00. At theplate, Macciocchi and senior team-mate Kyle Dockus have led the Cru-saders in hitting with averages above.400.

Though he has hit while pitching inthe tournament and plays first basewhen not hurling, Macciocchi willkeep his bat in the rack at Missouri.

Im just pitching, he said. Itsanother level (of hitting) and my fu-tures in pitching. I want to focus onthat.

Macciocchi is one of 10 Division Icommits on the Crusaders and has abrother, Brad, a redshirt sophomoreat Wright State. Missouri was the lastteam to offer the younger Maccioc-chi.

I think they first saw me at the TopProspect Games with PBR (PrepBaseball Report) at the end of mysophomore year, Macciocchi said.

The senior began his Moeller ca-reer with three sophomore innings in2013. Last season, he had two appear-ances and seven innings with 13strikeouts, but then was injured.While squatting in a workout, Mac-ciocchi broke a couple of ribs and hadto miss most of his junior season.

It was killing me last year notplaying, Macciocchi said. Its givenme extra motivation.
