INDIAN HILL — Askedwhat the secret is formaking the best peanutbutter and jelly sand-wiches, 9-year-old Syd-ney Poffenberger an-swered without hesita-tion.
“Peanutbutter and jel-ly.”
The Indian Hill girlwas among some halfdozen children recentlyslapping together PB & Jsandwiches at IndianHillChurch on Drake Road.
That’s because thechurch is sponsoring acollection that has noth-ing to do with passingbasketspewtopewtocol-lect church tithes.
Indian Hill Church is
collecting peanut butterand jelly to make sand-wiches to donate to theInter Parish Ministry onDebolt Road in Newtownthis Lent, which beginsWednesday, Feb. 13.
Church members arecalling the project the“Peanut Butter and JellyCollection,” and hope toinvolve the entire com-munity.
Why the focus on pea-nut butter and jelly?
Chuck Swanson, man-ager of Inter Parish Min-istry’s pantry operations,said nearly every familythe pantry serveschooses that sandwich.
Swanson also said thepantry usually serves anaverage of 360 families amonth, but served 450families in January.
Members of IndianHill Church are beingasked to bring a jar ofpeanut butter and a jar ofjelly to church eachweek
of Lent.Marilyn Hyland of In-
dian Hill, chairwoman ofthe Peanut Butter andJelly Collection, inviteseveryone to stop by thechurch with donations ofpeanut butter and jelly.
“For the six weeks ofLent when you do yourgrocery shopping pleasechoose or have your chil-dren choose a jar of pea-nut butter and a jar of jel-ly as part of caring andsharing for the childrenof the Inter ParishMinis-try,” said Jennifer Taylorof IndianHill, director ofchildren and family min-istries at the church.
Said the Rev. AnneWrider, “This really is anexpression of commit-ment to the children ofour wider community.”

INDIANHILL—A core of sen-iors helped propel CincinnatiCountry Day’s relay teams totheDivision II districtmeet lastseason.
With some key swimmersgraduating, the Indians lookedlike the relays could go througha rebuilding period.
Instead, the current squad ispicking up where last year’steam left off.
With strong showings at theDivision II sectional meet, Feb.8, the 200 and 400 freestyleteams punched their tickets fordistricts.
The performances come onthe heels of respective second-and third-place finishes at theMiami Valley Conferencechampionships, Feb. 2. The ef-fort helped CCD win its 10thleague title since the 2001-2002season.
Sophomore Alex Maier, theonly returning swimmer fromlast year’s district qualifyingrelay teams, didn’t initially an-ticipate this type of success inthe team events.
“I knew we had some goodswimmers on the team, that
could post fast times, but Ididn’t thinkwewere going to doas well as we did at the begin-ning of the season.We’ve endedup doing a phenomenal job,” hesaid.
The sectional 400 freestyleteam of Maier, Taylor Maier,Alexandre Cabello and Mal-colm Doepke moved on by fin-ishing fourth.
Cabello played a vital role inhelping CCD secure the teamchampionship at the leaguemeet. He also lived to swim an-other day in the 100 breast-stroke by finishing sixth at sec-tionals.
He won the 200 IM and 100breaststroke to help boost theIndians’ point total.
“He’s, by far, one of the fast-est kids on our team,” he said.“If you ever watch him swimand see how fast he kicks, it’sjust incredible.”
By securing a district berth,Maier, who also qualified in the50 freestyle, accomplished onemore season goal.
“It was my goal last year tomake it districts and it was mygoal again,” he said.
The district championshipscommence Feb. 4 atMiamiUni-versity.

INDIAN HILL — NationalSigning Day at Indian HillHigh School was the culmina-tion of years of hard work,practice, competition, blood,sweat, tears ... andmaybe a lit-tle bit of notebook paper.
“Me and my mom had tomakeachart of all theprosandcons,” saidTaylorJackson, oneof three IndianHill seniorgirlssoccer players who signed let-ters of intent to play Division Icollege soccer, Wednesday,Feb. 6. Jackson’s chart helpedher decide on Miami Univer-sity.
“That seemed like the onlyway,” Jackson said, laughing.“I tried to think about it in myhead, but I needed to see it onpaper.”
Jackson said she liked theschool’s location (far enoughfrom home, but not too far), aswell as the team’s coaches andplayers.
Liz Slattery, meanwhile,didn’t need a chart as much assome fortuitous timing. Shewas leaning toward a commit-ment to the University of Day-
ton last year, when coachesfrom the University of Floridasaw her play well in a tourna-ment.
“They were actually thereto see a player on the otherteam, but I guess they likedme,” Slattery said.
Thenext thingsheknewshehad an offer from the South-eastern Conference power.Slatteryverbally committed tothe Gators last spring. Itwasn’t a tough sell. Florida hasearned NCAA tournamentberths ineachof the last10sea-sons andhas connections to an-other local high school soccerstar - Heather Mitts won a na-tional title there in 1998.
“Their style, their forma-tions, their quick-possessionpasses. That’s the way I like toplay,” Slattery said. “I’m justexcited to go to such a greatprogram.”
Rachael Ballish narrowedher college choices down to ahandful, including Elon Uni-versity, theUniversityofRich-mond, Belmont University,and Miami University. It wasan academic program - nurs-ing - that convinced her tochoose Belmont.
The fact that Belmont is lo-cated in the middle of Nash-ville, Tenn., didn’t hurt either.
“When I first walked oncampus, I just fell in love withthe atmosphere,” Ballish said.“I’m just excited for all of usand what is to come.”
Together, this senior classwent 66-12-10 in four years,won four sectional titles, fourdistrict titles and twicereached the Division II statesemifinals (2010 and 2012).

“I’m just proud of them,”said Indian Hill head coachAmy Dunlap. “For them, it’s adream come true. They set thebar extremely high, and theyounger players have just fedinto their work rate.”
Ballish, Jackson and Slat-tery talked about how mean-ingful their IHexperiencewasto their soccer careers.
“I think what made us sospecial was thatwe truly lovedeach other so much,” Jacksonsaid. “I’ve never been on ateam that had so much teamchemistry.”

SIDELINES
NEWTOWN — Basket-ball is a numbers game.
You have three sec-onds in the paint, five sec-onds to do somethingwiththe ball and from one tothree points for a ball shotproperly into the goal.
You can only play fiveat a time. If the five areseniors, oddsareyouhavea veteran, disciplinedsquad. Conversely, ifyou’re a small school likeMiami Valley ChristianAcademy and many ofyour seniors have gradu-ated; numbers aren’t al-ways in your favor.
MVCA coach Pat Pughis experiencing such“growing pains” this sea-son. Without a large boysenrollment, these Lionsaren’t quite “Kings” yet.
“It’s taken us a little bitto figure each other out,”Pugh said. “We are soyoung. Iwentfromhavingfour seniors last year toeight freshmen this year.”
Heading into the post-season, MVCA also faceda challenging schedulethat featured severalteams they had alreadylost to early in the season.
The Lions have hadsome wins and a few fair-ly close games againstSCPA, Riverview Eastand Gamble Montessori.Of the Lions eight frosh,five play significant min-
utes.“I’ve gotMaliqueWard
as a sophomore and twojuniors,” Pugh said.“Those young guys haveto give meminutes.”
The freshmen face thedifficult task of playingtwo quarters in the juniorvarsity game, then anoth-er two to three in the var-sity contest. There’s alsothe speed transition of go-ing frommiddle school tohigh school play.
Ward isMVCA’s top re-turning scorer and de-fender. He has had toadapt from being a roleplayer to a “go-to guy”.
“Malique is learningand he’s growing,” Pughsaid. “Last year, he didn’thave any pressure on himwith four seniors. He
didn’t have the pressureof doing all the scoringand all of the ballhan-dling.”
More floor leadershipcomes from junior GavinCarson. The 6-foot-3 for-ward missed some earlygames from a football in-jury, but has played inPugh’s system since hewas a freshman.
His brother, Jamie,also starts and is workingon adding other dimen-sions to his game.
“Jamie is a pure shoot-er,” Pugh said. “He waslike a deer in the head-lights when the seasonstarted. Now, he’s tryingto take his game to anoth-er level and not just be agood spot-up shooter.”
Also from the footballteam is junior LayneCherry. The transferfromBethel-Tate canhelpMaique Ward with ball-handling when healthy.
“He’s been hurt alsofrom a lingering footballinjury,” Pugh said. “If wecan get him back tourna-ment time, he’ll be a greathelp for us.”
Pugh’s goal with thissquad has been to ignorethe scoreboard at timesand work on improving.MVCA’s “cubs” will growand their coach is lookingforward to it.

I guess I am surprised.Over the last month I haveheard so many people, fromthe president to the NRA talkabout our precious Constitu-tional rights with regard toguns.
And yet, when the presi-dent’s office acknowledgesthat it is the judge, jury andexecutioner when it comes todrones killing U.S. citizens thesame groups remain silentabout our right to due process.
Where are we going? Andwhy am I in this hand basket?
Don’t get me wrong, I amnot about to complain aboutthe use of force on terrorists.But I am going tell you onething about having 1600 Penn-sylvania Ave. sanction themurder of U.S. citizens. If weallow this we are on a slippery
slope that willhave us fallingfor a long timeto come.
First let meask what stopsother govern-ments fromusing the samevague criteriathe WhiteHouse uses, toexecute our
citizens?The argument about
“what’s good for the goose”comes to mind. Certainly, ifother governments use thesame mushy criteria and exe-cute our citizens accordingly,we can – and will – say noth-ing, because we cannot refutethe “logic” that we ourselvesuse.
Secondly, it used to be thatif you were a traitor to thiscountry a court had to provethat. Mr. Obama has decidedthat this is not their decision,but the decision of some face-less person who feeds infor-mation to the White House,who then judges and carriesout the sentence.
With this untested preced-ent we have, for now, giventhat power to the executivebranch.
Personally, I can’t see anydifference between this andthe KGB deciding to kill Sovi-et citizens’ abroad based onsecret information, sanctionedby the highest levels of Sovietgovernment.
We used to think such actsan outrageous affront to free-dom when they happened.
What is our moral outragenow?
How soon will it be beforeU.S. citizens who harbor dif-ferent ideas are deemed “dan-gerous” by a secret, faceless,government bureaucrat andeliminated here OR abroad?
Finally, I am reminded ofthe words of the great writerEli Wiesel at my graduationfrom university: “If you seesomeone committing a crimeand you say nothing you are asguilty as the one pulling thetrigger.”
We are witnessing our gov-ernment decide that it candefine which of us deserves todie, and then carrying out theexecution, based on “the bestinformation available” – what-ever that is.
I have always argued with
those that take the facile argu-ment that dictators were justi-fied in killing because theyachieved, say, economicgrowth or stability, that suchan argument is easy – unlessyour own daughter wastortured and killed. Then,suddenly, the price is too high.
If we permit this, say noth-ing, then we are guilty of per-mitting our government todecide which of us it kills andwhy.
That’s no way to run a de-mocracy, and it is an affront tothe constitution that affectsevery single one of us.
Shame on us if we justifythis as the price of war on …anything.

“What’s that smell?” Iscreamed to my husband fromthe kitchen.
We were packing up ourIndian hill home. The closingwas upon us. A week away. “Idon’t smell anything.” He re-plied from the front hall. Icould hear the sound of frus-
tration in hisvoice as hestruggled witha large movingbox. We decid-ed to do the
heavy lifting on our own. Call itpride or, in retrospect insanity.
“I smell it too,” our soncalled from the den. He rosewith one motion from his chairand headed to the closed doorleading to the finished base-ment. As the door swung openheavy smoke smacked him inthe face. “I think there’s a firein the basement!”
Mymind froze, but my fin-gers instinctively dialed 561-7000 for the Rangers. Tworings, … they picked up. Whew.Always there.
“Hi, it’s Jennifer. I think thehouse is on fire.” My voice wasunusually calm. Despite thedramatic turn of events, Iglanced at the clock and notedthe time. Eternal seconds yetwithin minutes, two Rangersquad cars pulled onto thestreet/ 3 plus after, sirens blar-ing, Indian Hill, Madeira redtrucks roared onto our newlyrepaved gravel drive (natch,for prospective buyers.) Ourfinest in full attire jumped offtheir vehicles in one motion.Enormous shoes, hoses and gasmasks, commanding “get outof the way and outside immedi-ately for your safety.”
So, there we were. The Gris-wolds. Safe. In front of our
perfectly staged, dumbed won,whitewashed verison of ourformerly elegant, yet comfyhouse. Waiting for it to go up inflames.
How surreal. Or unreal.This was MY house. The one Idesired from the moment Iwalked into the hallway, lookedthrough the bowed dining win-dows and gazed at the gardenand pool. I was smitten. In-fected with her great bonesand charm. Mine to captivateand recreate.
Standing in my bare feetwith my Labrador puppy at myside, a tiny voice whispered“maybe fate should have a lastdance. Perhaps it should burn.I don’t want anyone else livinghere. The desire flew out and Iflushed the selfish dreamsaway. A young couple and theirtwo children were about tomove in. A fourth generationwill be raised here, as mine. Ihad to set mymind to them andthe outcome of destructiontaking place inside.
The luck gods were on ourside. A sump pump in thecrawl space downstairs wasaccidentally tripped. It beganto flame and caused a greatdeal of smoke damage .
The next three days thehouse buzzed with cleaningcrews as each room cleared.
As we stood, on our last day,the late afternoon sun magni-fied through the room. Thehouse. The one that becameour home was stunning in thesimplicity of her emptiness.We smiled, a last glance andsilently departed. Leavingbehind a legacy and memoriesto share.

Last week’s questionHow does Greater Cincinnati
Airport’s announcement that alow-cost carrier, Frontier Air-lines, will be operating from theairport affect you?Are youmoreor less likely to fly from CVG asopposed to another regional air-port?
“I have been retired fromIBM for 21 years, and haveflown out of our airport maybeonce or twice since then. Somyview is not as important assomeonewhostill fliesregular-ly.
“Having said that, however,I have seen media discussionabout the concern over Fron-tier's initial low rates, whichprobably will adversely affectDelta Airlines' operating prof-its. Some of that discussionspeculates that it may evencause Delta to leave, and whenFrontier is left without compe-tition itmaywell raise its rates.
“One of the few benefits ofgetting old is that I don't haveto travel on business anymore,so this situation will not affectme directly.”
Bill B.
“That depends on the cost ofthe new carrier's tickets. Sofar, by reputation, CVG hasbeen very costly to fly out ofcompared to Dayton or Indian-apolis, mainly due to their lowoperating and overhead costsof what CVG has.
“I have flown out of Daytonin the past for almost one-halfto one-third the cost of CVG,getontoaplanewhichtakesmetoCVGandImaketheconnect-ing flight from there. I don'tsee the logic of CVG.”
O.H.R.
“Frontier will be anothersource to check on flights andfares. We often fly out of CVGto LA and have in the pastfound good deals on both Deltaand American Airlines.
“Delta provides a directflight on some days where AAusuallyhasonetotwostopspri-or to LA.
“Understand that Frontierwill have to stop in Denver sothis might not be as beneficialin cost as a direct flight. Timeand cost will tell and makesome future decisions on flightproviders.”
D.J.
“I'mnot a regular airline us-er but I am glad to see some
competition come to CVG.Frontier's arrival proves onceand for all that Delta wasmak-ing excessive profits. Sad tosay, that's what most business-esdo in theabsenceofcompeti-tion.”
R.V.
“Frontier coming into CVGis great news! Hope other car-riers are soon to follow. Al-ready bought very affordabletickets to go to Denver thissummer.”
J.R.B.
“I will definitely try to flyfrom CVG using Frontier.Here's hoping they can makeit!”
J.G.
“Greater Cincinnatiansdon't enjoy driving 100+ milesnorth, south or west to find af-fordableair travel.For thepastnearly 30 years it's been a wayof life thanks to the strangle-hold of Delta Airlines on CVG.
“Competition is awonderfulthing, I welcome Frontier andlook forward to the 25-miledrive. I wish them success.”
D.J.H.
“Darntootin !ExceptwhenIuse frequent flyer points I andmy wife always use Dayton orLouisville. Over the years wehave saved thousands of bigdollars spending a little extraon gas. Well worth it.
“However, since CVG is acash cow for Delta, it's just aquestion of time before theymanage to run Frontier out oftown by lowering prices on thesame routes temporarily tomake it unprofitable for them.Sound familiar?”
J.Z.
“CVG has never recoveredfrom Delta's bizarre pricingscheme (which made it $150cheaper to drive to Louisvilleand get on a plane which thenlanded and took off again inCincinnati, than getting on thesame plane in Cincinnati(Northern Kentucky).
“It is still a lot cheaper to flyanywhere from Dayton, Co-lumbus, or Louisville than tofly fromCVG, and all the otherairlines reflect the Delta pric-ing, not the cost of the trip. It isone of several important dragson our economy.
“Itmaynotbecheapenoughto justify driving to the otherairports, but I always try tocompare, and it is usuallyworth it to me to go to Dayton.
“The airlines were sup-posedtohavefixedthisseveralyears ago, but it hasn't hap-pened. Maybe Frontier will dothe job,but Iwill continuecom-paring prices for a long time tocome.”
N.F.
“Price will continue to bethe primary considerationwhere we originate our airtravel. Sincemostof it involvesEast Coast destinations andChicago, the announcementhas little immediate effect.
“However, the arrival ofFrontier is a very positive stepforward in improving air ser-vice at CVG. Frontier is a rela-tively well-run airline.

MONTGOMERY — TerukoNesbitt knew she wanted to sellbeautiful goods fromher nativeJapan, butwas afraid shewouldnot find the right building toshowcase her wares.
Afraid, that is, until shelearned the historic WellerHouse at 7795 Cooper Road inMontgomery was available.
In December, NesbittopenedHanamiya Beautiful Ja-pan gift shop in the c. 1807 salt-box building, which is a desig-nated Montgomery landmarkand is listed on the NationalRegister of Historic Places.
“I always wanted a place tosell beautiful things fromJapanto people here, but without thisplace it might not have hap-pened,” Nesbitt said.
“The shop is in one of thelandmark old houses, which Ibelieve is a perfect setting tosell Japanese traditional itemsand hopefully to introduce Jap-anese culture to the people inthis community.”
Nesbitt believes HanamiyaBeautiful Japan is unique in theUnited States.
“I sell Japanese high-endporcelain pottery, wrappingcloth and accessories,” Nesbittsaid.
“The products offered byHanamiya include porcelainmade by the finest porcelainmanufacturers in Japan.
“All of the products that youfind on our website(www.hanamiyashop.com) aremade in Japan and have beenhand-selected for the Hanami-ya eShop,” Nesbitt said.

She came to the Cincinnatiarea in 1997 to marry Dan Nes-bitt.
Teruko Nesbitt retired lastOctober from P&G, where sheworked22yearsasanexecutivesecretary – the last five years inthe legal department, filing pat-ents and helping attorneys.
She and her husband havelived in Montgomery for 15years.
They love the city, TerukoNesbitt said, and had hoped shecould open her gift shop there.
“The city council and staffare verypleased to seeTeruko’sbusiness move into Montgome-ry, alongwith a number of othernew businesses,” said Montgo-mery City CouncilwomanGerriHarbison.
“We feel this provesMontgo-mery is a great place to locate abusiness and we welcome theopportunity to work with otherbusinesses tocontinue tobuildathriving community.”

Cross - Black
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Black ofAnderson TWP, announcethe engagement of theirdaughter, Caia Lee, toJonathan Dickson Cross,son of Mr. and Mrs. JoeCross of Louisville, KY.Miss Black, a graduate ofMiami University, is aString Orchestra Teacherat Carrithers MiddleSchool in Louisville. Mr.Cross is a graduate of St.Bonaventure Universityand is a Salesman at CrossChrysler Jeep in Louisville.A June wedding is plan-ned in Louisville where thecouple will make theirhome.
So much happening inFebruary! It’s HeartMonth, Lent starts, Val-entine’s Day is here andso is Presidents’ Day.
Let’s start with some-thing for Valentine’s Daysince that is one of my
favoritespecialdays.When Iwas a kid,sweetswere a realtreat, duein part toMom’s leanbudget andher and myDad’s de-
sire to feed the nine of uschildren a healthy diet.So when I was 16 andreceived my first Valen-tine box of candy frommy boyfriend, Jim, I wasin chocolate heaven. I’vegotten lots of Valentine’streats since then, butnone can take the placeof that first heart ofdrugstore chocolates.
Reach out this Valen-tine’s Day by remember-ing those folks whowould benefit from a funcard, a phone call or aplate of goodies.
“I love you”chocolate coveredcherries
These are amazinglyeasy to make and lookstunning in a heartshaped box. This recipeis appropriate for Presi-dents’ Day, too. Remem-ber the story of GeorgeWashington admitting tochopping down his Dad’scherry tree because hecouldn’t “tell a lie.”
1 jar l0 oz., maraschinocherries with stems
Drain cherries very well forseveral hours. Theymustbe dry for fondant toadhere.
Fast FondantNot a true fondant, but aneasy one. You’ll havefondant leftover. Freezefondant up to amonth.
3 tablespoons butter,softened
3 tablespoons light cornsyrup
2 cups powdered sugar12 ounces or so meltedchocolate
Mix butter and syrup,then mix in powderedsugar. It will look a bitdry but will come togeth-er as you knead itsmooth. If too soft tohandle, chill for 15 min-utes. (Mixture can alsobe made a week aheadand brought to roomtemperature). Shape 1⁄2 tol teaspoon mixturearound each cherry, fit-ting the fondant closelyto the cherry, enclosingthe base of the stem aswell. Roll in your palmsto smooth fondant. Placeon baking sheet and chilluntil firm. This is neces-sary for the chocolate toadhere. Melt chocolate.Let cool a bit – chocolatewill be still be warm andvery liquid. Dip cherryinto chocolate. Seal com-pletely or juice couldleak out. Place onsprayed baking sheet.Chill until firm.
To store: Store intightly covered containerin frig. Bring to roomtemperature before eat-ing.
Cake pops: Recipe onmy blog. Fun for kids.Check out photo ofgrandson, Jack, deco-rating cake pops hemade.
Heart healthyvegetarian redbeans and rice
When you pair ricewith beans, you have anice, protein filled dish.Try brown rice which isnutritionally better thanwhite. It will take longerto cook, and is absorbedmore slowly in your sys-tem you feel full longer.
1generous cup choppedonion
1generous teaspoon garlic,minced
1-2 teaspoons cumin1 teaspoon chili powder ormore to taste
2 cups rice2 cans, approx. 16 ouncesea., red beans, drained
4 cups low sodium, fat freevegetable or chickenbroth
Salt and pepper to tasteGarnish: Thinly sliced greenonions, chopped tomatoes
Film bottom of panwith olive oil. Add every-thing but beans andbroth. Cook over mediumheat until garlic smellsfragrant. Don’t let onionsand garlic get brown. Stirin beans and broth. Coverand lower to a simmerand cook until rice istender.
Tip from Rita’s kitch-en: Beans are calledcancer-licking legumes –high in fiber and proteinand low in fat.
What about salt? Toomuch is bad for theheart! Himalayan pinksea salt is my salt ofchoice. Absolutely pure,sans toxins or any otherbad stuff, unlike othersalts that we commonlyuse. Check out my blogfor timely info on thispretty and tasty salt.

In November, resi-dents and other GrandValley pass holders re-ceived a letter from theGrand Valley AdvisoryCommittee soliciting do-nations to help completean important Grand Val-ley capital project.
This project could nolonger be afforded bythe village’s Capital Im-provement ReserveFund due to the loss ofthe estate tax as a com-munity revenue source.
During the past twomonths, the public’s re-sponse has been over-whelming. Through Jan.10, theGrandValleyCap-ital Improvement Fundhas received more than$68,000 to assist with theconstruction of a pedes-trian bridge across thenorth lake. This will ex-tend the walking trailsby providing a criticaleast-west connectionand adding more than amile of additional trails.
Thevillagebought the305 acre Grand ValleyPreserve in 2002 as away to pursue the vil-lage’s vision of preserv-ing natural beauty andproviding recreationalopportunities. More im-
portantly, the purchaseprotected the wateraquifer.
During the last dec-ade, the village has fund-ed a series of capital pro-jects which were identi-fied in amaster develop-ment plan adopted in2004.
Bridge constructionis expected to begin thisspring with a “Kick Off”Picnic to honor all thosewho have contributed.Please look for updatesin upcoming Bulletins orvisit www.ihill.org.
Those interested injoining the more than270 donors who havemade a tax deductibledonation please makechecks payable to theGrandValleyCapital Im-provement Fund, Villageof Indian Hill, 6525Drake Road, Cincinnati,OH 45243.

Why would someonesend a check for severalthousand dollars to atotal stranger?
Although it soundscrazy, it happens everyday. But if you get onethose checks and depositit you could end up los-ing thousands of dollars.
Sending checks tostrangers has been go-ing on for years with thesender giving a widevariety of reasons forthe check. But all thesescams have one thing incommon – the checksthey send you are phonyand the money you areto send them will bereal.
Katelin Willman ofBrookville received oneof these checks aftershe advertised for a jobon the Internet.
“I’vereceivedseveraldifferentjob offers.Most ofthem seemto bescams butthis one inparticulartold me I
could advertise on mycar so it seemed reallygood, easy money. All Ihave to do is drivearound,” Willman said.
Willman told thatemailer she was inter-ested.
“All of a sudden hesent me a check in themail for more than$2,400. The job offerwas only for like $300. Itseemed a little fishy tome and that’s when I
contacted you,” Willmansaid.
I asked if she wassupposed to keep theextra $2,100 as somekind of advance on hersalary, but she said no.Willman said she wastold, “Put it in my bankaccount, then get a mon-ey order for the extramoney and send it out.”
“The check lookedlegitimate and real but itjust sounded weird,”Willman said.
Another sign this wasa scam is the senderdidn’t enclose the plac-ard with the ad that wasto be placed on the sideof her car. All she re-ceived was the phonycheck. It seems veryclear all the sender wasinterested in was themoney.
When Willmanemailed the sender say-ing she knew it was ascam, he wrote back.
“He said the FBI wasafter me because Icashed their check and Ibetter send the moneyor else they’re going tocome after me … Thesad thing is a lot of peo-ple are going to fall forit and they’re going tohave their bank ac-counts drained,” Will-man said.
Unfortunately, Will-man is correct; a lot ofpeople have fallen forthis scam. In fact, theFederal Trade Commis-sion says fake checksare being used in agrowing number offraudulent schemes,including secret shop-per scams, foreign lot-tery scams, check over-payment scams andInternet auction scams.
That’s why, eventhough it cost the scam-mer nearly $19 for ex-press mail postage inWillman’s case, he canafford to pay it. Hesends out lots of thesephony checks and, evenif only a handful of re-
cipients fall for thescam, he can make a lotof money.
Sometimes the phonychecks look like legiti-mate cashier’s checks orpostal money orders, butthey are never real. Inall cases you are told todeposit the check intoyour bank account. Thenyou must send themyour good money viaWestern Union or Mon-ey Gram – and that mon-ey can’t be traced. Infact, the thieves canpick up the money atjust about any location,often outside the UnitedStates.
Phony checks cantake weeks to discoverand you are responsiblefor any funds you with-draw from the bankagainst that check. Re-member, once you signthe back of a check anddeposit it, the bank willhold you responsible ifthat check doesn’t clear.

Some 663 gallons ofsouphavebeendonated tothe Over-The-RhineKitchen in the nine yearsthat the Isaac M. WiseTemple in Amberley Vil-lage has sponsored achicken soup cook-off.
Nice gesture with a
food traditionally recog-nized as succor to thebody and soul, non-gour-mets may say, but howhard can making chickensoup be?
Here Jay Rissover, di-rector of this year’s re-cently held Wise TempleChicken Soup Cook-Off,answers that question andcharts the history of a
benefit held at the templethat has warmed the bel-lies of the hungry foryears.
Please tell us a littleabout yourself.
