MADEIRARadio and TVpersonalityBill Cunninghams newest
restaurantwill soon be pulling into Madeiras for-mer train depot
building on Miami Ave-nue.
City Councilmembers recently voted5-to-2 forCunninghamsRootBeer
Junc-tion idea as the winning proposal for thefuture tenant at the
former train depotbuilding, which is owned by the city.
Although council members RobSteier and Kenneth Born preferred
Mi-chele Vollmans Frenchies idea, the
restofcouncildecidedCunnighams ideawasthe best fit.
The buildings previous tenant wasChoo Choos restaurant, but
following aMay8 fire in the restaurants kitchen thecity decided to
look at other options forthe site that wouldnt include the sametype
of kitchen setup.
The grease fire was determined to bethe fault of the kitchen
staff and restau-rant owner Mike Wessels operation hadpreviously
failed inspection for severalissues,
includingexcessivegreasebuild-up in his friers.
The city then sought proposal pack-ages from interested business
ownerswhowouldwant to lease the former rail-road depot building and
potentially re-purpose it.
Out of eight proposals, three were re-cently chosen as finalists
for the formerrailroad depot building on Miami Ave-nue.
Council members said that residentsrequests for a community
gathering
place that appealed to a broadnumber ofpeople tipped the favor
in Cunninghamsdirection.
Although Vollmans idea would likelybringmany of her loyal
patrons intoMa-deira, having a place for the people wholive
inMadeirarankedasahigherpriori-ty.
Third finalist Peachy Seidens idea ofa health-conscious
restaurant was ap-pealing to some, but several councilmembers said
that her limited hours of
operation wouldnt generate enoughearningsorbeavailable to
residentswhoarent in Madeira during the morningand early
afternoon.
Councilman Mike Steur said that thetrain station needs to be a
place wherecommunity members can gather, whichwas the purpose of
Centennial Plaza inthe first place.
Theres nothing more small townthan an ice cream cone and root
beer atthe train station, he said.
Councilman Richard Staubachagreed, saying that the plazawas
built tobe somewhere that everyone can cometogether, and he felt
Frenchies changedthe plaza too much for his liking.
Several residents who spoke seemedto agree as well.
Madeira High School student JakeSchweppe told council that he
thoughtRoot Beer Junction was the best for allages, and collected
dozens of signaturesfrom high school and middle school stu-dents
that supported his position.
Schweppeadded that someexpressedthat he wasnt informing students
aboutwhat they were signing, that they dontpay taxes and arent
voting age. He saidthat the teens have clearly stated
thattheywantRootBeerJunction togo in thedepot.
This isnt aboutvoting, its about sim-ply voicing your opinion,
he said. ...And Ive always been told to voice myopinion to the
community.
However, resident Claudia Harrodsaid that while Cunninghams
proposalwas popular with high school students
Councilmembers Rob Steier, Mike Steur and Melisa Adrien listen
to residents voice their opinion about which restaurant proposal
shouldbe chosen as the next tenant for the former train depot
building, which is owned by the city. LEAH FIGHTMASTER/THE

COLUMBIA TWP . Plans for twomedical officebuildings thatwill
gen-erate some100 jobs are now also indi-rectly responsible for
helping plumpthe townships budget for road pro-jects by
$250,000.
TheOhioDepartment of Transpor-tation likes the project somuch
that ithas agreed to award $250,000 to ex-tend Lucille Drive to
vacant propertywhereUCHealth plansto build first a
40,000-square-foot buildingand then a 30,000-square-foot
building.
The townshipwanted to land thispro-ject and was willing tospend
$250,000 to ex-tendLucilleDrive todoso, Columbia Town-ship
AdministratorMike Lemon said.
Without the com-mitment the projectwould have gone
else-where.
Although the town-ship committed$250,000 of its ownfunds, it
also appliedfor the grant and received it - thuspreserving the
$250,000 itwould havespent on the extension for anothertownship
road improvement, Lemonsaid.
Columbia Township trustees earli-er this year agreed to issue up
to $1.5million in revenue bonds to financepublic infrastructure
around themedical office buildings.
Trustees also signed off on a tax in-centive agreement in which
ownersof the Lucille Drive project sites willfor up to 30 years pay
the townshipannual service payments in a nego-tiated amount in lieu
of property tax-es that would otherwise been collect-ed for
improvements made on theland.
Columbia Township will use theservicepayments topayoff
thebondsissued for the project.
Ground has been broken for thefirst medical office building,
TrusteeDavid Kubicki said.
Township officials have said theextension of Lucille Drive also
willserve an area that will be donated fora woodland preserve and
park.

St. Vincent FerrerSchool in Kenwood usedthe support of its
com-munity to win $30,000for a cafeteria and kitch-en
renovation.
Just 10 days beforethe Uncle Bens Begin-ners Rice Contest
dead-line, students and par-ents took a shot at win-ning for the
school.
A child and their par-ent had to submit to Un-cle Bens a video
ofthemselves makingtheir own rice dish, hop-ing that one would
getenough votes to win$30,000 for the schooland $15,000 for them
andtheir family.
Before voting for in-dividual videos ended onOct. 27, the school
foundout that it had won itsown prize of $30,000 forhaving the most
videossubmitted in theirschools size category 55 students and
theirparents submitted avideo, which is morethan 30 percent of
thestudent population at St.Vincent Ferrer, saidAmy Fischer, parent
andchairwoman of theschools marketing com-mittee.
Lisa Samson, presi-dent of the Parent-Teacher Organization atthe
school who pushed
for students to enter thecontest, said that bothparents and kids
wereexcited about the con-test and, ultimately, win-ning a
prize.
They were superthrilled that their effortpaid off in abigway,
shesaid. ... Its incredible,not just from a financialstandpoint,
but alsofrom the school spiritand community comingtogether.
As part of winning aprize in the contest, theschool was recently
fea-tured on theRachaelRayShow. Samsonwas flownto New York City as
wellto be on the show.
Samson said theschool is planning oncreating a committee
ofpeople that representthe various groups andevents that use the
kitch-en in the cafeteria, suchas the church, mensgroup, festival
and annu-al spaghetti dinner.
The committee,which she said they hopeto form in the nextmonth,
will discusschanges that would bestserve everyone.
Samson said that to goalong with the idea ofschool spirit, or
HornetPride, as they call it, amural for thewalls are inthe talks
for changes be-ing made to the cafete-ria.
The kitchen will alsobe important to the stu-dents. Right now,
Sam-son said, Sycamoreschools provides lunchto St. Vincent Ferrer
stu-dents, but no cooking isdone on-site. Remodelscould make food
fresherfor students.
She added that al-though the school has arecycling program
andvalues helping the envi-ronment, students eattheir lunch off
Styro-foam plates because thedishwasher no longerworks.
Samson said a studentpointed out that a dish-washer would be an
im-portant improvement toeat off reusable traysand with
silverware.
Our school recycles,and theres a push to takecare of the
environment,then students go down tothe cafeteria and use alot of
Styrofoam, shesaid. It sends the wrongmessage, and we want tolook
at that.
Although St. VincentFerrer won the schoolparticipation prize,
anindividual student andtheir parent could stillwin that prize as
well,which couldmean anoth-er $30,000 to the school.
Even if no onewins in-dividually, Samson saidthe community
supportand school spirit thatcameout of the contest
isincredible.
We had a very limit-ed amount of time to pulleverything
together, andthe fact that we got athird of the student
bodytogether showed evenmore what our schooland community spirit
islike, she said.

UPPER ARLINGTON The Mount No-treDameHighSchool
fieldhockeygirlsplayed nearly 67 minutes against thedefending state
champions Nov. 1with-out allowing a goal in the state
semifi-nal.
Unfortunately, with 3:01 left in sud-den death overtime,
sophomore GraceGeiger of Columbus Academy foundthe net to send MND
home on the sadside of the scoreboard.
Minutes earlier, junior goalkeeperAlly Benz had made a dramatic
savethat stopped what looked like a break-away goal. Geigers goal
ended a dra-matic back-and-forth extra period thathad fans for both
sides on their feet.
She had some awesome savesthroughout the game, coach Beth
Von-derbrink said. Its tough when theysneak it in there at the
end.
It was the first goal MND had al-lowed since tying Louisville
CountryDay to end their regular season. How-ever,withone flickof
thewrist, theCou-gars season ended.
Its a blur right now, but itwas off ofa corner, Vonderbrink
said. Its hardin overtime when you only have threedefenders back
there. Thats one of thethings tough to do in overtime - defend-ing
corners.
Most of the game was played in themiddleof the
field,withbothsidesocca-sionally getting near the goal or
somecorners, but neither coming close to ascore. The game was also
pretty phys-icalwith juniorMoriahFlynn twice tak-ing a stick to the
leg courtesy of Colum-bus Academy.
She does have a stick print on herleg, Vonderbrink said. We have
a
great defensive team and it looked likethey had a very good
defensive team.
ForVonderbrink, its the second timeColumbus Academy has sent her
homewith a state tourney loss. In 2004, whenplaying for
now-assistant Don Johnson,theCougars lost to theVikings1-0 in
thestate final.
Well get there, Vonderbrink said.We have a good group of juniors
com-ing up. Our seniors are outstanding andhad a great year. Our
juniors are next tocome.
The semifinal setback was the finalgame for seniors Rachel
Kraimer, Hol-ly Carota, Kelsey Bushfield, Molly

DEER PARK In a league dominat-ed byWyoming and Indian Hill,
DeerParkHigh Schools AdamPetrymadeanameforhimself this
fallbyqualify-ing for the Division III state crosscountrymeet at
National Trails Race-way in Hebron.
Aftermaking regionals as a sopho-more in 2012, Petry improved in
ayears timetofinish12that thedistrictmeet in Troy on Oct. 26. His
16:48 wasseven seconds quicker than his previ-ous best of
16:55.
In the state race Nov. 2, Petry fin-ished 62nd with a time of
17:17.43 outof 146 participants. His average milewas 5:34.
CoachedbyShannonandBrianDa-vison incrosscountryandChuckHar-mon
in track, Petrywas glad to repre-sent Deer Park.
Its been a longtime since weve hadanyone get so high upin cross
country andtrack as far as dis-tance, Petry said.Its pretty
exciting.
Nostrategy is fool-proof, but Petrys pat-tern has been to
lurkfrom a distance. It al-lowed him to be a topfinisher all
seasonand gave him a first-place finish at a meetat Seven
Hills.
Its tough to ad-just, Petry said.What Ive found isthat in the
first mile Ineed to start off in theback. I look at howIm running
that day,how I feel and who Ican beat. I usuallystart around 20th
then I start seeingpeople thatmaybewent out too fast inthe first
mile. I pick people off andstart moving ahead.
He says many top runners do thesame thing. Hes been perfecting
histrail trotting since he was in seventhgrade.
Hes also a 1,600/3,200 runner intrack, so passersby may see
Petrynear the railroad tracks or aroundChamberlin Park chewing up
moremiles soon.
I run around the Dillonvale shop-ping center, Petry said. Theres
aneighborhood behind there. I

With the cross country seasonover, Petry will point to spring to
im-prove his sophomore numbers. His3,200 time was second in the

SPRINGFIELD TWP. Jake Westerkamp andhis St. Xavier HighSchool
water polo team-mates were one halfaway from seeing theirultimate
goal come tofruition.
The Bombers led St.Charles PreparatoryAcademy out of Colum-bus
8-6 at halftime of theOhio High School statetitle game, but were
out-scored 11-5 in the secondhalf en route to a 17-13loss Oct. 26
at MasonHigh School.
Despite the loss,coachMike Roberts isntfocusing on what
theBombers didnt accom-plish; he wants everyoneto knowwhat his guys
ac-complished in just threeyears since establishingthe program.
All we had this yearwas positives, Robertssaid. We beat
everyteam in the state.Webeatthe team that won lastyear, we beat
the teamthat won this year andthats nothing but up forus. This is
like the firstrung of the ladder.
Roberts believes if itwerent forWesterkamp,there wouldnt even be
aladder to climb. As a lit-tle skinny
sophomore,WesterkampofLovelandstarted the first waterpolo match in
St. X histo-ry and has started the 90-plus games since.
If he didnt come outor chose to go to a differ-ent high school,
Im notsure we could have car-ried the programthrough some bumps
inthe road, Roberts saidof his senior captain.Hes just been
tremen-dous.
Westerkamp endedhis career in style
de-spitenotbringinghomeastate title. He scoredeight of the Bombers
13goals against the Cardi-nals to earn himself a2013 Ohio state
All-Tour-nament team honor.
Jake is like a coachsdream, Roberts said.Hes a kid thats
notphysically imposing,hes not exceptionallystrong, hes not
excep-tionally fast, but hesveryaware.Heplays as agood teammate.
Hessmart, hes wily, hes agreat leader and hell bemissed.
The Bombers (18-11-1)struggled all season longwith the Cardinals
going1-4 versus the statechamps. Their lone wincame Oct. 6 at the
Mil-ford Invitational, knock-ing off the Cards 8-5.
They are a very wellcoached team, Robertssaid. (St. Charles
coach)Jeff Geers has beencoaching a long time andhes got a
system.Hes in-sistent his kids playwithin the system; theydo that
and they do itwell.
Three years ago St.
Xavier didnt have a wa-ter polo program, nowthey have three
teamswith 28 kids, including14who never touched a wa-ter polo ball
prior to thebeginning of the season.This years team in-cludes boys
from Love-land, Roselawn, Sharon-ville, Pleasant Ridge,Colerain
Township, WestChester, Blue Ash, Mid-dletown, AndersonTownship,
Hyde Park,Maineville, andMadeira.
The foundation hasbeen laid for thoseyoungsters whowere ex-posed
to success andleadership early in theircareers.
They have grown upplaying other sports orswimming so its just
agreat mix, Roberts saidof his underclassmen.Having them exposedto
Jake Westerkamp for100 days and a season isjust going to be great
forthem going forward.

A publication of
About 2,400 years ago, theGreek playwright Agathonwrote, Only
this is denied to
the Gods, theability tochange thepast.
I know of nosurvivingelements of hisplays, but theimportance
ofthe quote hasintrigued mefor years. Inthese times itbears
serious
thought.For those who are not famil-
iar with Greek theater, let megive you a few tips. The playswere
short and carried a mes-
sage almost like a sermon.They usually presented a seri-ous
problem, but not an an-swer. This was to be discussedas the viewers
walked homefrom the performance. As thegroup reached a
crossroadthey stopped in order to con-tinue the discussion. This
ledto a common word of today,trivia, meaning three ways.
The Gods had human attri-butes and often human failingsso that
mortals could relate tothem. Tragedies were gener-ally about
personal faults andcomedies tended toward soci-etal failings. If
you read someof these plays, you will findthat they can be
presented aspresent day problems.
Lysistrata (cleansing of
strife) is an antiwar playwhere the women of Greece goon a sex
strike to make themen quit going to war. Is oftenpresented in a
modern format.
As Albert Einstein noted,humanity has not changed, butwe create
mass technology todo harm to others. Sadly, wecontinue our tendency
to do so.
I think the major part ofthat problem is that we tend tobe very
intensely partial to ourown social sub groups. We tendto view
others with extremedisfavor at the worst or withguarded acceptance
at best.
I have been fortunate tohave traveled among manyvery diverse
groups. Instead ofdismissing them as strange orunequal, I have
tried to un-
derstand and accept them forwhat makes their societyunique. In
this way I learn andappreciate my new found in-terests. The
similarities tend tobe instructive of humanity.
Old hostilities lasting forcenturies are not forgiven, butoften
intensified to the disad-vantage of all. They are mostly,but not
all, toward other racesor religions. Even worse is theprejudice
that seeps out ofthese hatreds and causes oth-ers to make poor
judgments.Those only add to the problemsof humanity.
Lately, government formsseem to add to the problems.Somemay feel
that they causediscrimination. I have a pri-vate joke to let you in
on. When
I get one of these forms, in thespace for race, I put human.For
religion, I enter yes. Youmight imagine what I enter forsex if I am
in a whimsicalmood!
Now we go back to Agathon.We cannot reverse the wrongsthat all
of us have committedduring our lives. It matters nothowminor they
may havebeen. The resentment becomescumulative so that somemayfeel
the result of age-oldwrongs. In this era of bitter-ness over
religion, race ornationality it is time for hu-manity to overcome
the cult offeigned superiority.

5: At least three cookingchannels showing wonderfulfood made
with ingredients noone could afford or wouldever use again.

Last weeks questionShould schools have manda-
tory drug tests for students?Whyor why not?
Employers, themilitaryandprofessional sports teams havemandatory
drug tests, why notschools? Schools are supposedto train you for
what is cominglater in life. Get used to it. Soon-er or later, you
will face one ofthese invasions of your priva-cy.
F.S.D.
Iwould love to say yes, but Iwould also say there are toomany
laws and groups thatwould oppose.
Im glad to see that severalprivate, not public
tax-dollarschools, have enough guts totake on checking for
drugs.
I again will say as I alwayssay, as long as we have attor-neys
and government stickingtheir noses into everything wewill have
prolonged problems.
If it ever comes to manda-tory drug testing it should notonly be
restricted to students,but also to teachers and admini-stration,
and be made aware tothe public, as we are taxpayersand they work
for us.
D.J.
During my working careerit always bugged me that therules I had
to enforce and/orobeywere almost always due tothe 5 percent.
Somewhere Iwastold that about 5 percent of thepeople cause 90
percent of ourproblems.
What will mandatory drugtesting correct? Who will payfor it? How
much will the test-ing disrupt our schools achiev-ing their primary
mission?Mandatory drug testing goestoo far.
R.V.
Absolutely not. A school isNOT a prison.
Ifastudent isabusingdrugsand his or her performance atschool
suffersbecauseof it thenit will result in the normalschool related
consequences low grades, discipline for nega-tive behavior, etc.
That is all thefeedback anyone should need tobecome aware a student
is introuble of some sort.
It is not the schools job totreat well-behaved, conscien-tious,
average students as ifthey are criminals.
E.M.S.
No on mandatory drugtests, for a number of reasons.Primarily
because is gives stu-dents the message that We
dont trustyou and is anugly in-vasion of privacy for studentswho
do not use drugs.
It also seems to be a searchwithout probable cause. It
willidentify a relative small per-centage of students at a
greatcost.
And what do the schools dowith the information? If a stu-dent
fails the drug test does itlead to automatic suspension,mandatory
drug educationclasses, or a permanent record?
Way too many negativesand potential problems withthis plan.
J.R.B.
Forathletes ... yes ... generalstudent population ... NO!
Imagine the cost for thiswith so many schools are finan-cially
strapped anyway, who isgoing to foot the bill?
O.H.R.
HELL NO!! Schools are in-stitutions of learning, not
policestates. Not to mention the inva-sion of privacy.
If a child is taking prescrip-tion medication that has to
bedisclosed prior to the test andmy kids medical history
andrecordsareprotectedfromgov-ernment intrusion.
Ifmykid is ondrugs, itsmyresponsibility to deal with that,not
the school systems.
J.S.K.Arewe talking about all stu-
dents when we are doing thisdrug testing?
Where would the moneycome from?
I think it should be based onwho the educators might sus-pect
and if one looks or acts likesomething is amiss then thatperson
should be tested. If theperson fails the drug test, thereshould be
a concerted effort toget thispersontheproperhelp.

NEXT QUESTIONState Sen. Bill Seitz has intro-duced legislation
which wouldredefine the standards for thirdparties to appear on
Ohiosballot, including a minimumrequirement of 56,000 signa-tures
to get on the ballot andreceiving at least 3 percent ofthe vote in
a presidential elec-tion to stay on the ballot. Doyou support
Seitzs proposal?Why or why not?
Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via
e-mail. Send youranswers [email protected]
withChatroom in the subject line.
If you have ever paid atten-tion to customer commentsonline and
let strangersinfluence your purchasing
decisions as aresult youare in theoverwhelm-ing majority.
In fact,nearly 80percent ofU.S. consum-ers considerwhat
othershave postedonline beforebuying a
product or service.Back in 1999, before we
were using the Internet daily,customer review sites wereborn
beginning with Epinion-s.com. This site and otherslike it were
launched to solicithonest, informed opinionsabout products and
servicesas a consumer resource.
Today, online reviewsarent always honest and theyarent always
written withauthenticity. More and more,business owners are posing
asunhappy customers of theircompetition.
This new business prac-tice is unjustly hurting busi-nesses by
misleading consum-ers, and many dont realizethat this practice is
more thanjust unfair its illegal.
Take a case from our ownback yard. In Cincinnati, oneFortune 500
company lostmillions of dollars in salesafter competitors
bloggedfalse information following anew product launch.
And large companies arentthe only ones facing falsereviews:
Retailers, restau-rants, hotels, small business-es, accountants and
doctorsare just a handful of indus-tries getting victimized.
With more than two-thirdsof the population using onlinereviews
to inform purchasingdecisions, consumers areequally at risk.
Online consumers turn toreview sites for honest feed-back when
contemplatingboth large and small pur-chases. When false reviewsare
posted, it misleads con-sumers to purchase based oninaccurate
information.
To identify fake reviewsand prevent faulty purchasingdecisions,
look for the follow-ing telltale signs:
1) The statements includeoutrageous, atypical accusa-tions;
usually these reviewsare fake or exaggerated.
2) If similar reviews areposted around the same date,and in the
same tone, theres ahigh chance the reviews arefake.
3) A single unhappy cus-
tomer typically leaves a re-view that minimally impacts
abusiness. Someone committedto significantly damaging abusiness
will find ways tosubstantially harm it online,including through
false re-views.
4) Reviews sounding morelike a commercial than anhonest review
are oftentimesfalse.
Companies, professionalsand service organizationstargeted by
false online re-views have the right to takeaction against
defamers.There are numerous optionsavailable.
For example, a lawyer canget defamatory content re-moved by
obtaining a courtorder and submitting theorder to the website
host.
Cyber investigators canalso identify individuals act-ing
anonymously on the In-ternet. Oftentimes, after thefalse reviewers
identity isdiscovered the defamatorycontent can be removed.
Internet defamation isilllegal, and although onlinereview sites
are relativelynew defamation has been apart of the law for
years.

NOVEMBER 6, 2013 SUBURBAN LIFE B3LIFE
Breast cancer aware-ness month is over. Itwent out with a bang
forme in a very special way.I was the presenter onceagain at Mercy
HealthWomens Center recep-tion in Anderson Town-ship.
Stand-ing before100-plusradiantsurvivorswas morethan in-spiring;
itshowedthe resil-ience ofthe humanspirit
when faith is paired withgood medicine.
My presentation wason the history of tea andtea parties. Some
trivia:Did you know the reasoncream was first pouredinto tea was to
preventthe very thin, fine chinacups from crackingwhen boiling tea
waspoured into them? Also,the earliest tea cups hadno handles. They
wereheld cupped in the handsto keep hands warm. Andtea sandwiches
wereoriginally made a bit drysince women woregloves and they
didntwant to get them soiled.
We had the best time,laughing and sharingstories. Among
thetreats to take home fromGail Greenburg and herstaff were my
short-bread cookies. Short-bread is perfect for a teaparty since
its such aversatile dough.
Ritas no-failshortbread cutouts
Let the kids free form
shapes or use a cookiecutter. Dough freezeswell, and so does
thebaked cookie, sans icing.A nice gift from thekitchen and
mymostrequested shortbreadrecipe.
2 cups flour14 teaspoon baking powder14 teaspoon salt2 sticks
unsalted butter,room temperature
12 cup confectioners sugar2 teaspoons vanilla (or yourfavorite
extract)
Preheat oven to 350degrees. Whisk togetherflour, salt and
bakingpowder. Set aside. Creambutter and gradually add
sugar. Add vanilla. Blendflour mixture in. Doughwill be soft.
Roll out onlightly floured surfaceor between two pieces ofplastic
wrap to 14-inchthick or bit thicker if youlike. If the dough is
toosoft to cut out shapes,put in refrigerator forabout 30 minutes.
Cutout and place on sprayedcookie sheet. Bake 15-20minutes just
until edgesare golden.
IcingWhisk together:
1 cup confectioners sugar1 teaspoon vanilla2-3 tablespoons
water
Drizzle icing over
cooled cookies, or makea thicker icing with lesswater, add food
coloringif using, and spread oncookies. Makes abouttwo dozen.
Tips from RitasKitchen
To test to see if yourbaking powder is stillactive enough to
leaven,put a teaspoonful in acup of warm water. Itshould fizz right
away.
Really good ranchdressing
Im still waiting forsomeone to come up witha Frischs
Restaurantranch dressing clone for
a reader. I have calledKaren Maier at the cor-porate office a
couple oftimes and have left mes-sages with Lisa Normanin
marketing, so I hopeto hear something soon.Meanwhile, heres arecipe
fromMarie N., aNorthwest Press reader.This goes togetherquicker
than youd think,and is delicious, shesaid. A friend gave therecipe
to her.
Blend together eitherin blender, food proces-sor or by hand:
1 cupmayonnaise (Marieuses Hellmans)
12 cup regular sour cream
1 teaspoon garlic or to tastePalmful fresh dill, minced1
tablespoonminced freshonion chives (Marie saidyou can also
usedmincedgreen onions)
Worcestershire, salt andblack pepper to taste
12 to 34 teaspoon clear orcider vinegar
Several dashes paprikaCayenne pepper to taste(Marie said go easy
onthis)
Buttermilk, enough tomakedesired consistency (startwith 13
cup)
Handful fresh mincedparsley or 1 teaspoon dry
Chill several hoursbefore using and, if nec-essary, add more
butter-milk to get proper pour-ing consistency.
Tips from Ritaskitchen
Pick a perfect pine-apple: It should smellfragrant when you
giveit a sniff. Just one cup ofpineapple has enoughmanganese, a
trace min-eral, for building healthybones and connectivetissue.
Plus pineapplehas lots of vitamin C.Canned pineapple is agood
source of thesenutrients too, but buypineapple packed injuice, not
in sugary syr-up.

Scam artists are usingwhat continue to betough economic times
for
many totry to getmoneyfrom them so youneed tobeware.
Jill, whoprefers Inot use herlast name,wrote shereceived a
call from aman namedBrian.
He called my homeand left a long recordedvoicemail threatening
me
and my husband that hewas from the IRS andthat we had to call
backimmediately or legalaction would be taken,Jill wrote.
The man left a phonenumber with a New Yorkarea code and Jill
sayswhen she and her hus-band called back, Anoth-er man with an
Indianaccent answered andwanted our attorneysname. We said we
donthave one and he was verynasty saying, Howmuchmoney can you
sendtoday? We said, Maybe athousand dollars by nextThursday, and he
said,
Thats not good enough,you will be arrested to-day!
Jill said that reallyshook them up becausethey were already on
apayment plan with theInternal Revenue Ser-vice, but their next
pay-ment wasnt due for an-other month.
But the so-called IRSman said that paymentplan had been
rejected.All the money needed tobe sent immediately, theywere told,
or they wouldbe arrested.
He wanted our bankinformation or creditcard number but we
said
No and the guy hung up.We called our attorneywho said it was a
scamIll bet a lot of other peo-ple sent money and stillowe the IRS.
Just a headsup because Im sure youare already aware of thiscrazy
scam preying oninnocent people, Jillwrote.
Yes, this scam hasbeen going around for afew years. In some
casesthe caller leaves a re-corded message claimingto be from a
credit cardcompany, a lawyer or apayday loan company inaddition to
claiming to befrom the IRS. The Better
Business Bureau sayssome of these scammersare out to get
moneywhile others are justtrying to get your per-sonal
information.
The BBB says neverreply to unsolicitedphone messages or clickon
links provided in anemail asking for yourpersonal information. Ifa
caller claims you owe adebt, ask questions. Thecaller should state
whothey are, whom theyrepresent and, upon re-quest, send you
writtenproof you owe the debt.Never give out financialinformation
over the
phone.Bottom line, if some-
one calls and tells youtheyll have you arrestedunless you pay
themimmediately: Remember,its just a scam. Instead,you should
contact thepolice, the state attorneygeneral and the BetterBusiness
Bureau to re-port the phone call.
